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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:23:12 @For six days do your work, and on the seventh day keep the Sabbath; so that your ox and your ass may have rest, together with the son of your servant and the man from a strange land living among you.

bbe@Exodus:23:15 @You are to keep the feast of unleavened bread; for seven days let your bread be without leaven, as I gave you orders, at the regular time in the month Abib (for in it you came out of Egypt); and let no one come before me without an offering:

bbe@Exodus:23:16 @And the feast of the grain-cutting, the first-fruits of your planted fields: and the feast at the start of the year, when you have got in all the fruit from your fields.

bbe@Exodus:23:18 @Do not give the blood of my offering with leavened bread; and do not let the fat of my feast be kept all night till the morning

bbe@Exodus:23:19 @The best of the first-fruits of your land are to be taken into the house of the Lord your God. The young goat is not to be cooked in its mother's milk.

bbe@Exodus:23:23 @And my angel will go before you, guiding you into the land of the Amorite and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Canaanite and the Hivite and the Jebusite, and they will be cut off by my hand.

bbe@Exodus:23:26 @All your animals will give birth without loss, not one will be without young in all your land; I will give you a full measure of life.

bbe@Exodus:23:28 @I will send hornets before you, driving out the Hivite and the Canaanite and the Hittite before your face.

bbe@Exodus:23:30 @Little by little I will send them away before you, till your numbers are increased and you take up your heritage in the land.

bbe@Exodus:23:31 @I will let the limits of your land be from the Red Sea to the sea of the Philistines, and from the waste land to the river Euphrates: for I will give the people of those lands into your power; and you will send them out before you.

bbe@Exodus:23:32 @Make no agreement with them or with their gods.

bbe@Exodus:23:33 @Let them not go on living in your land, or they will make you do evil against me: for if you give worship to their gods, it will certainly be a cause of sin to you.

bbe@Exodus:24:2 @And Moses only may come near to the Lord; but the others are not to come near, and the people may not come up with them.

bbe@Exodus:24:3 @Then Moses came and put before the people all the words of the Lord and his laws: and all the people, answering with one voice, said, Whatever the Lord has said we will do.

bbe@Exodus:24:4 @Then Moses put down in writing all the words of the Lord, and he got up early in the morning and made an altar at the foot of the mountain, with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.

bbe@Exodus:24:6 @And Moses took half the blood and put it in basins; draining out half of the blood over the altar.

bbe@Exodus:24:7 @And he took the book of the agreement, reading it in the hearing of the people: and they said, Everything which the Lord has said we will do, and we will keep his laws.

bbe@Exodus:24:8 @Then Moses took the blood and let it come on the people, and said, This blood is the sign of the agreement which the Lord has made with you in these words.

bbe@Exodus:24:10 @And they saw the God of Israel; and under his feet there was, as it seemed, a jewelled floor, clear as the heavens.

bbe@Exodus:24:12 @And the Lord said to Moses, Come up to me on the mountain, and take your place there: and I will give you the stones on which I have put in writing the law and the orders, so that you may give the people knowledge of them.

bbe@Exodus:24:14 @And he said to the chiefs, Keep your places here till we come back to you: Aaron and Hur are with you; if anyone has any cause let him go to them.

bbe@Exodus:24:15 @And Moses went up into the mountain, and it was covered by the cloud.

bbe@Exodus:24:16 @And the glory of the Lord was resting on Mount Sinai, and the cloud was over it for six days; and on the seventh day he said Moses' name out of the cloud.

bbe@Exodus:25:9 @Make the House and everything in it from the designs which I will give you

bbe@Exodus:25:10 @And they are to make an ark of hard wood; two and a half cubits long, and a cubit and a half wide and high.

bbe@Exodus:25:11 @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:25:17 @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:25:20 @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:25:23 @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:25:27 @The rings are to be fixed under the frame to take the rods with which the table is to be lifted.

bbe@Exodus:25:28 @Make rods of the same wood, plated with gold, for lifting the table.

bbe@Exodus:25:31 @And you are to make a support for lights, of the best gold; its base and its pillar are to be of hammered gold; its cups, its buds, and its flowers are to be made of the same metal.

bbe@Exodus:25:32 @It is to have six branches coming out from its sides; three branches from one side and three from the other.

bbe@Exodus:25:33 @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:25:37 @Then you are to make its seven vessels for the lights, putting them in their place so that they give light in front of it.

bbe@Exodus:25:38 @And the instruments and trays for use with it are all to be of the best gold.

bbe@Exodus:25:39 @A talent of gold will be needed for it, with all these vessels.

bbe@Exodus:26:1 @And you are to make a House for me, with ten curtains of the best linen, blue and purple and red, worked with designs of winged ones by a good workman.

bbe@Exodus:26:2 @Every curtain is to be twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide, all of the same measure.

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

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

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:26:13 @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:26:16 @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:26:19 @With forty silver bases under the twenty boards, two bases under every board to take its tongues.

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:26:29 @And the boards are to be plated with gold, having gold rings for the rods to go through: and the rods are to be plated with gold.

bbe@Exodus:26:31 @And you are to make a veil of the best linen, blue and purple and red, worked with designs of winged ones by a good workman:

bbe@Exodus: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:26:35 @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:27:6 @And make rods for the altar, of hard wood, plated with brass.

bbe@Exodus:27:7 @And put the rods through the rings at the two opposite sides of the altar, for lifting it.

bbe@Exodus:27:8 @The altar is to be hollow, boarded in with wood; make it from the design which you saw on the mountain.

bbe@Exodus:27:9 @And let there be an open space round the House, with hangings for its south side of the best linen, a hundred cubits long.

bbe@Exodus:27:11 @And on the north side in the same way, hangings a hundred cubits long, with twenty pillars of brass on bases of brass; their hooks and their bands are to be of silver.

bbe@Exodus:27:12 @And for the open space on the west side, the hangings are to be fifty cubits wide, with ten pillars and ten bases;

bbe@Exodus:27:13 @And on the east side the space is to be fifty cubits wide

bbe@Exodus:27:14 @On the one side of the doorway will be hangings fifteen cubits long, with three pillars and three bases;

bbe@Exodus:27:15 @And on the other side, hangings fifteen cubits long, with three pillars and three bases.

bbe@Exodus:27:16 @And across the doorway, a veil of twenty cubits of the best linen, made of needlework of blue and purple and red, with four pillars and four bases.

bbe@Exodus:27:17 @All the pillars round the open space are to have silver bands, with hooks of silver and bases of brass.

bbe@Exodus:27:18 @The open space is to be a hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide, with sides five cubits high, curtained with the best linen, with bases of brass.

bbe@Exodus:27:19 @All the instruments for the work of the House, and all its nails, and the nails of the open space are to be of brass.

bbe@Exodus:28:1 @Now let Aaron your brother, and his sons with him, come near from among the children of Israel, so that they may be my priests, even Aaron, and Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar, his sons.

bbe@Exodus:28:2 @And make holy robes for Aaron your brother, so that he may be clothed with glory and honour.

bbe@Exodus:28:3 @Give orders to all the wise-hearted workmen, whom I have made full of the spirit of wisdom, to make robes for Aaron, so that he may be made holy as my priest.

bbe@Exodus:28:7 @It is to have two bands stitched to it at the top of the arms, joining it together.

bbe@Exodus:28:8 @And the beautifully worked band, which goes on it, is to be of the same work and the same material, of gold and blue and purple and red and twisted linen-work.

bbe@Exodus:28:11 @With the work of a jeweller, like the cutting of a stamp, the names of the children of Israel are to be cut on them, and they are to be fixed in twisted frames of gold.

bbe@Exodus:28:16 @It is to be square, folded in two, a hand-stretch long and a hand-stretch wide.

bbe@Exodus:28:17 @And on it you are to put four lines of jewels; the first line is to be a cornelian, a chrysolite, and an emerald;

bbe@Exodus:28:21 @The jewels are to be twelve in number, for the names of the children of Israel; every jewel having the name of one of the twelve tribes cut on it as on a stamp.

bbe@Exodus:28:26 @Then make two gold rings and put them on the lower ends of the bag, at the edge of it on the inner side nearest to the ephod.

bbe@Exodus:28:31 @The robe which goes with the ephod is to be made all of blue;

bbe@Exodus:28:32 @With a hole at the top, in the middle of it; the hole is to be edged with a band to make it strong like the hole in the coat of a fighting-man, so that it may not be broken open.

bbe@Exodus:28:33 @And round the skirts of it put fruits in blue and purple and red, with bells of gold between;

bbe@Exodus:28:34 @A gold bell and a fruit in turn all round the skirts of the robe.

bbe@Exodus:28:35 @Aaron is to put it on for his holy work; and the sound of it will be clear, when he goes into the holy place before the Lord, and when he comes out, keeping him safe from death.

bbe@Exodus:28:36 @You are to make a plate of the best gold, cutting on it, as on a stamp, these words: HOLY TO THE LORD.

bbe@Exodus:28:37 @Put a blue cord on it and put it on the front of the twisted head-dress:

bbe@Exodus:28:38 @And it will be over Aaron's brow, so that Aaron will be responsible for any error in all the holy offerings made by the children of Israel; it will be on his brow at all times, so that their offerings may be pleasing to the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:28:40 @And for Aaron's sons you are to make coats, and bands, and head-dresses, so that they may be clothed with glory and honour.

bbe@Exodus:29:1 @This is what you are to do to make them holy, to do the work of priests to me: Take one young ox and two male sheep, without any mark on them,

bbe@Exodus:29:2 @And unleavened bread, and unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and thin unleavened cakes on which oil has been put, made of the best bread-meal;

bbe@Exodus:29:3 @Put these in a basket and take them, with the ox and the two sheep.

bbe@Exodus:29:4 @And let Aaron and his sons come to the door of the Tent of meeting, and there let them be washed with water.

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

bbe@Exodus:29:10 @Then let the ox be taken in front of the Tent of meeting: and let Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head.

bbe@Exodus:29:12 @Then take some of the blood of the ox, and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger, draining out all the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

bbe@Exodus:29:13 @And take all the fat covering the inside of the ox, and the fat joining the liver and the two kidneys with the fat round them, and let them be burned on the altar;

bbe@Exodus:29:14 @But the flesh of the ox and its skin and its waste parts are to be burned outside the circle of the tents, for it is a sin-offering.

bbe@Exodus:29:15 @Then take one of the sheep, and let Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head.

bbe@Exodus:29:16 @Then let it be put to death, so that the sides of the altar are marked with its blood.

bbe@Exodus:29:17 @Then the sheep is to be cut up into its parts, and after washing its legs and its inside parts, you are to put them with the parts and the head,

bbe@Exodus:29:19 @Then take the other sheep; and after Aaron and his sons have put their hands on its head,

bbe@Exodus:29:20 @You are to put the sheep to death, and take some of its blood and put it on the point of Aaron's right ear, and of the right ears of his sons, and on the thumbs of their right hands and the great toes of their right feet, dropping the rest of the blood on the sides of the altar.

bbe@Exodus:29:21 @Then take some of the blood on the altar, and the oil, and put it on Aaron and his robes and on his sons and on their robes, so that he and his robes and his sons and their robes may be made holy.

bbe@Exodus:29:22 @Then take the fat of the sheep, the fat tail, the fat covering the insides, and the fat joining the liver and the two kidneys with the fat round them, and the right leg; for by the offering of this sheep they are to be marked out as priests:

bbe@Exodus:29:23 @And take one bit of bread and one cake of oiled bread and one thin cake out of the basket of unleavened bread which is before the Lord:

bbe@Exodus:29:26 @Then take the breast of Aaron's sheep, waving it before the Lord; and it is to be your part of the offering.

bbe@Exodus:29:28 @And it will be their part as a right for ever from the children of Israel, it is a special offering from the children of Israel, made from their peace-offerings, a special offering lifted up to the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:29:31 @Then take the sheep of the wave offering and let its flesh be cooked in water in a holy place.

bbe@Exodus:29:32 @And let Aaron and his sons make a meal of it, with the bread in the basket, at the door of the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Exodus:29:34 @And if any of the flesh of the offering or of the bread is over till the morning, let it be burned with fire; it is not to be used for food, for it is holy.

bbe@Exodus:29:36 @Every day an ox is to be offered as a sin-offering, to take away sins: and by this offering on it, you will make the altar clean from sin; and you are to put oil on it and make it holy.

bbe@Exodus:29:37 @For seven days you are to make offerings for the altar and make it holy, so that it may become completely holy, and anything touching it will become holy.

bbe@Exodus:29:40 @And with the one lamb, a tenth part of an ephah of the best meal, mixed with a fourth part of a hin of clear oil; and the fourth part of a hin of wine for a drink offering.

bbe@Exodus:29:41 @And the other lamb is to be offered in the evening, and with it the same meal offering and drink offering, for a sweet smell, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:29:42 @This is to be a regular burned offering made from generation to generation, at the door of the Tent of meeting before the Lord, where I will come face to face with you and have talk with you.

bbe@Exodus:29:43 @There I will come face to face with the children of Israel, and the Tent will be made holy by my glory

bbe@Exodus:29:46 @And they will see that I am the Lord their God, who took them out of the land of Egypt, so that I might be ever with them: I am the Lord their God.

bbe@Exodus:30:1 @And you are to make an altar for the burning of perfume; of hard wood let it be made.

bbe@Exodus:30:2 @The altar is to be square, a cubit long and a cubit wide, and two cubits high, and its horns are to be made of the same.

bbe@Exodus:30:3 @It is to be plated with the best gold, the top of it and the sides and the horns, with an edging of gold all round it.

bbe@Exodus:30:4 @Under the edge on the two opposite sides, you are to make two gold rings, to take the rods for lifting it.

bbe@Exodus:30:5 @And make these rods of the same wood, plating them with gold.

bbe@Exodus:30:6 @And let it be placed in front of the veil before the ark of the law, before the cover which is over the law, where I will come face to face with you.

bbe@Exodus:30:9 @No strange perfume, no burned offering or meal offering, and no drink offering is to be offered on it.

bbe@Exodus:30:10 @And once every year Aaron is to make its horns clean: with the blood of the sin-offering he is to make it clean once every year from generation to generation: it is most holy to the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:30:18 @You are to make a brass washing-vessel, with a brass base; and put it between the Tent of meeting and the altar, with water in it;

bbe@Exodus:30:19 @That it may be used by Aaron and his sons for washing their hands and feet;

bbe@Exodus:30:20 @Whenever they go into the Tent of meeting they are to be washed with water, to keep them from death; and whenever they come near to do the work of the altar, or to make an offering by fire to the Lord,

bbe@Exodus:30:25 @And make these into a holy oil, a perfume made by the art of the perfume-maker; it is to be a holy oil.

bbe@Exodus:30:27 @And on the table and all its vessels, and on the support for the lights, with its vessels, and on the altar for burning spices,

bbe@Exodus:30:28 @And on the altar of burned offerings with its vessels, and on the washing-vessel and its base.

bbe@Exodus:30:32 @It is not to be used for man's flesh, and no other is to be made like it: holy it is, and you are to keep it holy.

bbe@Exodus:30:33 @Whoever makes any like it, or puts it on one who is not a priest, will be cut off from his people.

bbe@Exodus:30:34 @And the Lord said to Moses, Take sweet spices, stacte and onycha and galbanum, with the best frankincense, in equal weights;

bbe@Exodus:30:35 @And make from them a perfume, such as is made by the art of the perfume-maker, mixed with salt, and clean and holy.

bbe@Exodus:30:36 @And put some of it, crushed very small, in front of the ark in the Tent of meeting, where I will come face to face with you; it is to be most holy.

bbe@Exodus:30:37 @You are not to make any perfume like it for yourselves: it is to be kept holy to the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:30:38 @Whoever makes any like it, for its sweet smell, will be cut off from his people.

bbe@Exodus:31:3 @And I have given him the spirit of God and made him wise and full of knowledge and expert in every sort of handwork,

bbe@Exodus:31:6 @And I have made selection of Oholiab with him, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the hearts of all who are wise I have put the knowledge to make whatever I have given you orders to have made;

bbe@Exodus:31:7 @The Tent of meeting, and the ark of the law, and the cover which is on it, and all the things for the tent,

bbe@Exodus:31:8 @And the table with its vessels, and the holy light-support with all its vessels, and the altar for the burning of spices,

bbe@Exodus:31:9 @And the altar of burned offerings with all its vessels, and the washing-vessel with its base,

bbe@Exodus:31:14 @So you are to keep the Sabbath as a holy day; and anyone not honouring it will certainly be put to death: whoever does any work on that day will be cut off from his people.

bbe@Exodus:31:17 @It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever; because in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he took his rest and had pleasure in it.

bbe@Exodus:31:18 @And when his talk with Moses on Mount Sinai was ended, he gave him the two stones of the law, two stones on which was the writing made by the finger of God.

bbe@Exodus:32:4 @And he took the gold from them and, hammering it with an instrument, he made it into the metal image of a young ox: and they said, This is your god, O Israel, who took you out of the land of Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:32:5 @And when Aaron saw this, he made an altar before it, and made a public statement, saying, Tomorrow there will be a feast to the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:32:8 @Even now they are turned away from the rule I gave them, and have made themselves a metal ox and given worship to it and offerings, saying, This is your god, O Israel, who took you up out of the land of Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:32:11 @But Moses made prayer to God, saying, Lord, why is your wrath burning against your people whom you took out of the land of Egypt, with great power and with the strength of your hand?

bbe@Exodus:32:13 @Have in mind Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you gave your oath, saying, I will make your seed like the stars of heaven in number, and all this land will I give to your seed, as I said, to be their heritage for ever.

bbe@Exodus:32:15 @Then Moses came down the mountain with the two stones of the law in his hand; the stones had writing on their two sides, on the front and on the back.

bbe@Exodus:32:16 @The stones were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, cut on the stones.

bbe@Exodus:32:18 @And Moses said, It is not the voice of men who are overcoming in the fight, or the cry of those who have been overcome; it is the sound of songs which comes to my ear.

bbe@Exodus:32:20 @And he took the ox which they had made, burning it in the fire and crushing it to powder, and he put it in the water and made the children of Israel take a drink of it.

bbe@Exodus:32:24 @Then I said to them, Whoever has any gold, let him take it off; so they gave it to me, and I put it in the fire, and this image of an ox came out.

bbe@Exodus:33:1 @And the Lord said to Moses, Go forward from this place, you and the people whom you have taken up out of the land of Egypt, to that land about which I made an oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, To your seed will I give it.

bbe@Exodus:33:2 @And I will send an angel before you, driving out the Canaanite and the Amorite and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite:

bbe@Exodus:33:3 @Go up to that land flowing with milk and honey; but I will not go up among you, for you are a stiff-necked people, for fear that I send destruction on you while you are on the way.

bbe@Exodus:33:5 @And the Lord said to Moses, Say to the children of Israel, You are a stiff-necked people: if I come among you, even for a minute, I will send destruction on you; so take off all your ornaments, so that I may see what to do with you.

bbe@Exodus:33:7 @Now it was Moses' way to put up the Tent of meeting outside the tent-circle, at some distance away; giving it the name of The Tent of meeting. And everyone desiring to make his prayer to the Lord went to the Tent of meeting outside the tent-circle.

bbe@Exodus:33:9 @And whenever Moses went into the Tent, the pillar of cloud came down, and took its place by the door of the Tent, as long as the Lord was talking with Moses.

bbe@Exodus:33:11 @And the Lord had talk with Moses face to face, as a man may have talk with his friend. And when Moses came back to the tents, his servant, the young man Joshua, the son of Nun, did not come away from the Tent.

bbe@Exodus:33:12 @And Moses said to the Lord, See, you say to me, Be this people's guide on their journey, but you have not made clear to me whom you will send with me. But you have said, I have knowledge of you by name, and you have grace in my eyes.

bbe@Exodus:33:14 @And he said, I myself will go with you and give you rest.

bbe@Exodus:33:15 @And Moses said, If you yourself are not going with us, do not send us on from here.

bbe@Exodus:33:16 @For is not the fact of your going with us the sign that I and this people have grace in your eyes, so that we, that is, I and your people, are separate from all other people on the face of the earth?

bbe@Exodus:33:20 @But it is not possible for you to see my face, for no man may see me and still go on living.

bbe@Exodus:33:22 @And when my glory goes by, I will put you in a hole in the rock, covering you with my hand till I have gone past:

bbe@Exodus:34:3 @No one is to come up with you, and let no man be seen anywhere on the mountain; let no flocks or herds come near to get their food at its foot.

bbe@Exodus:34:4 @So Moses got two stones cut like the first; and early in the morning he went up Mount Sinai, as the Lord had said, with the two stones in his hand.

bbe@Exodus:34:6 @And the Lord went past before his eyes, saying, The Lord, the Lord, a God full of pity and grace, slow to wrath and great in mercy and faith;

bbe@Exodus:34:9 @And he said, If now I have grace in your eyes, let the Lord go among us, for this is a stiff-necked people, and give us forgiveness for our wrongdoing and our sin, and take us for your heritage.

bbe@Exodus:34:11 @Take care to do the orders which I give you today; I will send out from before you the Amorite and the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite.

bbe@Exodus:34:12 @But take care, and do not make any agreement with the people of the land where you are going, for it will be a cause of sin to you.

bbe@Exodus:34:15 @So see that you make no agreement with the people of the land, and do not go after their gods, or take part in their offerings, or be guests at their feasts,

bbe@Exodus:34:16 @Or take their daughters for your sons; for when their daughters give worship before their gods, they will make your sons take part with them.

bbe@Exodus:34:18 @Keep the feast of unleavened bread; for seven days your food is to be bread without leaven, as I gave you orders, at the regular time in the month Abib; for in that month you came out of Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:34:20 @A lamb may be given in payment for the young of an ass, but if you will not make payment for it, its neck will have to be broken. For all the first of your sons you are to make payment. No one is to come before me without an offering.

bbe@Exodus:34:22 @And you are to keep the feast of weeks when you get in the first-fruits of the grain, and the feast at the turn of the year when you take in the produce of your fields.

bbe@Exodus:34:24 @For I will send out the nations before you and make wide the limits of your land; and no man will make an attempt to take your land while you go up to give worship to the Lord, three times in the year.

bbe@Exodus:34:25 @No leaven is to be offered with the blood of my offering, and the offering of the Passover feast may not be kept till the morning.

bbe@Exodus:34:26 @Take the first-fruits of your land as an offering to the house of the Lord your God. Let not the young goat be cooked in its mother's milk

bbe@Exodus:34:27 @And the Lord said to Moses, Put all these words in writing; for on them is based the agreement which I will make with you.

bbe@Exodus:34:28 @And for forty days and forty nights Moses was there with the Lord, and in that time he had no food or drink. And he put in writing on the stones the words of the agreement, the ten rules of the law.

bbe@Exodus:34:29 @Now when Moses came down from Mount Sinai, with the two stones in his hand, he was not conscious that his face was shining because of his talk with God.

bbe@Exodus:34:31 @Then Moses sent for them; and Aaron, with the chiefs of the people, came to him; and Moses had talk with them.

bbe@Exodus:34:33 @And at the end of his talk with them, Moses put a veil over his face.

bbe@Exodus:34:34 @But whenever Moses went in before the Lord to have talk with him, he took off the veil till he came out. And whenever he came out he said to the children of Israel what he had been ordered to say;

bbe@Exodus:35:11 @The House and its tent and its cover, its hooks and its boards, its rods and its pillars and its bases;

bbe@Exodus:35:12 @The ark with its cover and its rods and the veil hanging before it;

bbe@Exodus:35:13 @The table and its rods and all its vessels, and the holy bread;

bbe@Exodus:35:14 @And the support for the lights, with its vessels and its lights and the oil for the light;

bbe@Exodus:35:15 @And the altar for burning spices, with its rods, and the holy oil and the sweet perfume, and the curtain for the door, at the door of the House;

bbe@Exodus:35:16 @The altar of burned offerings, with its network of brass, its rods, and all its vessels, the washing-vessel and its base;

bbe@Exodus:35:17 @The hangings for the open space, its pillars and their bases, and the curtain for the doorway;

bbe@Exodus:35:21 @And everyone whose heart was moved, everyone who was guided by the impulse of his spirit, came with his offering for the Lord, for whatever was needed for the Tent of meeting and its work and for the holy robes.

bbe@Exodus:35:24 @Everyone who had silver and brass gave an offering of them to the Lord; and everyone who had hard wood, such as was needed for the work, gave it.

bbe@Exodus:35:25 @And all the women who were expert with their hands, made cloth, and gave the work of their hands, blue and purple and red and the best linen.

bbe@Exodus:35:31 @And he has made him full of the spirit of God, in all wisdom and knowledge and art of every sort;

bbe@Exodus:36:1 @So let Bezalel and Oholiab get to work, with every wise-hearted man to whom the Lord has given wisdom and knowledge, to do whatever is necessary for the ordering of the holy place, as the Lord has given orders.

bbe@Exodus:36:6 @So Moses made an order and had it given out through all the tents, saying, Let no man or woman make any more offerings for the holy place. So the people were kept from giving more.

bbe@Exodus:36:8 @Then all the expert workmen among them made the House with its ten curtains; of the best linen, blue and purple and red, they made them, with winged ones worked by expert designers.

bbe@Exodus:36:9 @Every curtain was twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide, all of the same measure.

bbe@Exodus:36:12 @Fifty twists on the one curtain and fifty on the edge of the curtain of the other group; the twists being opposite to one another.

bbe@Exodus:36:13 @And they made fifty hooks of gold, joining the curtains one to another with the hooks; and so the House was made.

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

bbe@Exodus:36:21 @The boards were ten cubits long and one cubit and a half wide.

bbe@Exodus:36:22 @Every board had two tongues fixed into it; all the boards were made in this way.

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:36:34 @All the boards were plated with gold, and the rings through which the rods went were of gold, and the rods were plated with gold.

bbe@Exodus:36:35 @And he made the veil of the best linen, blue and purple and red, worked with winged ones designed by expert workmen.

bbe@Exodus:36:36 @And they made four pillars for it of hard wood plated with gold: they had hooks of gold and four silver bases.

bbe@Exodus:36:37 @And they made a curtain for the door of the tent, of the best linen with needlework of blue and purple and red;

bbe@Exodus:36:38 @And five pillars for the curtain, with their hooks; the heads of the pillars were of gold and they were circled with bands of gold; and their five bases were of brass.

bbe@Exodus:37:1 @And Bezalel made the ark of hard wood, two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide and a cubit and a half high;

bbe@Exodus:37:2 @Plating it inside and out with the best gold, and putting an edge of gold all round it.

bbe@Exodus:37:3 @And he made four gold rings for its four angles, two on one side and two on the other,

bbe@Exodus:37:4 @And rods of the same wood plated with gold.

bbe@Exodus:37:5 @These rods he put in the rings at the sides of the ark, for lifting it.

bbe@Exodus:37:6 @And he made the cover all of gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.

bbe@Exodus:37:7 @And he made two winged ones, hammered out of one bit of gold, for the two ends of the cover;

bbe@Exodus:37:9 @And their wings were stretched out over the cover; the faces of the winged ones were opposite one another and facing the cover.

bbe@Exodus:37:10 @And he made the table of hard wood, two cubits long, a cubit wide and a cubit and a half high;

bbe@Exodus:37:11 @Plating it with the best gold and putting a gold edge all round it.

bbe@Exodus:37:12 @And he made a frame all round it about as wide as a man's hand, edged with gold all round.

bbe@Exodus:37:13 @And he made four gold rings, and put the rings at the angles of its four feet.

bbe@Exodus:37:14 @The rings were fixed under the frame to take the rods with which the table was to be lifted.

bbe@Exodus:37:15 @The rods for lifting the table he made of hard wood plated with gold.

bbe@Exodus:37:17 @Then he made the support for the lights, all of the best gold; its base and its pillar were of hammered gold; its cups and buds and flowers were all made out of the same metal:

bbe@Exodus:37:18 @It had six branches coming out from its sides, three from one side and three from the other;

bbe@Exodus:37:19 @Every branch having three cups made like almond flowers, every cup with a bud and a flower on all the branches;

bbe@Exodus:37:20 @And on its pillar, four cups like almond flowers, every one with its bud and its flower;

bbe@Exodus:37:21 @And under every two branches a bud, made with the branch, for all six branches of it.

bbe@Exodus:37:23 @And he made the seven vessels for the lights, and all the necessary instruments for it, of gold.

bbe@Exodus:37:24 @A talent of the best gold was used for the making of it and its vessels.

bbe@Exodus:37:25 @And he made the altar for the burning of spices, using the same hard wood; it was square, a cubit long and a cubit wide and two cubits high; the horns made of the same.

bbe@Exodus:37:26 @The top and the sides and the horns were all plated with the best gold; and he put an edge of gold all round it.

bbe@Exodus:37:27 @And he made two gold rings, placing them on the two opposite sides under the edge, to take the rods for lifting it.

bbe@Exodus:37:28 @The rods he made of the same hard wood, plating them with gold.

bbe@Exodus:38:1 @The altar of burned offerings he made of hard wood; a square altar, five cubits long, five cubits wide and three cubits high,

bbe@Exodus:38:2 @And he put horns at its four angles made of the same, plating it all with brass;

bbe@Exodus:38:4 @And he made a network of brass for the altar, under the frame round it, stretching half-way up;

bbe@Exodus:38:6 @The rods he made of hard wood plated with brass.

bbe@Exodus:38:7 @He put the rods through the rings at the opposite sides of the altar for lifting it; he made the altar hollow, boarded in with wood.

bbe@Exodus:38:9 @To make the open space, he put hangings on the south side, of the best linen, a hundred cubits long:

bbe@Exodus:38:11 @And for the north side. hangings a hundred cubits long, on twenty brass pillars in brass bases, with silver hooks and bands.

bbe@Exodus:38:12 @And on the west side, hangings fifty cubits long, on ten pillars in ten bases, with silver bands.

bbe@Exodus:38:13 @And on the east side, the open space was fifty cubits long.

bbe@Exodus:38:14 @The hangings on one side of the doorway were fifteen cubits long, on three pillars with their three bases;

bbe@Exodus:38:15 @And the same on the other side of the doorway; on this side and on that the hangings were fifteen cubits long, on three pillars with their three bases.

bbe@Exodus:38:17 @And the bases of the pillars were of brass; their hooks and the bands round the tops of them were of silver; all the pillars were ringed with silver.

bbe@Exodus:38:18 @And the curtain for the doorway of the open space was of the best linen, with designs of blue and purple and red in needlework; it was twenty cubits long and five cubits high, to go with the hangings round the sides.

bbe@Exodus:38:19 @There were four pillars with their bases, all of brass, the hooks being of silver, and their tops and their bands being covered with silver.

bbe@Exodus:38:20 @All the nails used for the House and the open space round it were of brass.

bbe@Exodus:38:21 @This is the price of the making of the House, even the House of witness, as it was valued by the word of Moses, for the work of the Levites under the direction of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.

bbe@Exodus:38:23 @And with him was Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; a designer and a trained workman, expert in needlework of blue and purple and red and the best linen.

bbe@Exodus:38:30 @From it he made the bases of the doorway of the Tent of meeting and the brass altar and the network for it and all the vessels for the altar,

bbe@Exodus:38:31 @And the bases for the open space all round and for its doorway, and all the nails for the House and for the open space.

bbe@Exodus:39:3 @Hammering the gold into thin plates and cutting it into wires to be worked into the blue and the purple and the red and the linen by the designer.

bbe@Exodus:39:4 @And they made two bands for joining its edges together at the top of the arms.

bbe@Exodus:39:5 @And the beautifully worked band which went on it was of the same design and the same material, worked in gold and blue and purple and red and twisted linen-work, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

bbe@Exodus:39:6 @Then they made the beryl stones, fixed in twisted frames of gold and cut like the cutting of a stamp, with the names of the children of Israel.

bbe@Exodus:39:8 @The priest's bag was designed like the ephod, of the best linen worked with gold and blue and purple and red.

bbe@Exodus:39:9 @It was square and folded in two, as long and as wide as the stretch of a man's hand;

bbe@Exodus:39:10 @And on it they put four lines of stones: in the first line was a carnelian, a chrysolite, and an emerald;

bbe@Exodus:39:21 @And the rings on the bag were fixed to the rings of the ephod by a blue cord, keeping it in place over the band, so that the bag might not get loose, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

bbe@Exodus:39:22 @The robe which went with the ephod was made all of blue;

bbe@Exodus:39:23 @With a hole at the top in the middle, like the hole in the coat of a fighting-man, edged with a band to make it strong.

bbe@Exodus:39:24 @The skirts of the robe were worked all round with fruits in blue and purple and red made of twisted linen.

bbe@Exodus:39:25 @And between the fruits all round the skirt they put gold bells, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

bbe@Exodus:39:26 @All round the skirt of the robe were bells and fruits in turn.

bbe@Exodus:39:29 @And a linen band worked with a design of blue and purple and red, as the Lord had said to Moses.

bbe@Exodus:39:30 @The plate for the holy crown was made of the best gold, and on it were cut these words, HOLY TO THE LORD.

bbe@Exodus:39:31 @It was fixed to the head-dress by a blue cord, as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

bbe@Exodus:39:32 @So all the work on the House of the Tent of meeting was done; as the Lord had given orders to Moses, so the children of Israel did it.

bbe@Exodus:39:33 @Then they took the House to Moses, the tent with all the things for it; its hooks, its boards, its rods, its pillars, and its bases;

bbe@Exodus:39:35 @The ark of the law, with its rods and its cover;

bbe@Exodus:39:36 @The table, with all its vessels and the holy bread;

bbe@Exodus:39:37 @The support for the lights, with the vessels for the lights to be put in their places on it, and all its vessels, and the oil for the lights;

bbe@Exodus:39:39 @And the brass altar, with its network of brass, and its rods and all its vessels, and the washing-vessel and its base;

bbe@Exodus:39:40 @The hangings for the open space, with the pillars and their bases, and the curtain for the doorway, and the cords and nails, and all the instruments necessary for the work of the House of the Tent of meeting;

bbe@Exodus:40:3 @And inside it put the ark of the law, hanging the veil before it.

bbe@Exodus:40:4 @And put the table inside, placing all the things on it in order; and put in the support for the lights, and let its lights be burning.

bbe@Exodus:40:7 @And let the washing-vessel, with water in it, be put between the Tent of meeting and the altar.

bbe@Exodus:40:8 @And put up the hangings forming the open space all round it, with the curtain over its doorway.

bbe@Exodus:40:9 @And take the holy oil and put it on the House and everything in it, and make it and everything in it holy:

bbe@Exodus:40:10 @And put oil on the altar of burned offering, and make it and all its vessels holy; this altar is to be most holy.

bbe@Exodus:40:11 @And put oil on the washing-vessel and its base, and make them holy.

bbe@Exodus:40:12 @Then let Aaron and his sons come to the door of the Tent of meeting; and after washing them with water,

bbe@Exodus:40:14 @And take his sons with him and put coats on them;

bbe@Exodus:40:18 @Moses put up the House; placing its bases in position and lifting up its uprights, putting in the rods and planting the pillars in their places;

bbe@Exodus:40:19 @Stretching the outer tent over it, and covering it, as the Lord had given him orders.

bbe@Exodus:40:20 @And he took the law and put it inside the ark, and put the rods at its side and the cover over it;

bbe@Exodus:40:21 @And he took the ark into the House, hanging up the veil before it as the Lord had given him orders.

bbe@Exodus:40:23 @And he put the bread on it in order before the Lord, as the Lord had said.

bbe@Exodus:40:24 @The support for the lights he put in the Tent of meeting, opposite the table, on the south side:

bbe@Exodus:40:27 @Burning sweet perfumes on it, as the Lord had given him orders.

bbe@Exodus:40:29 @And at the door of the House of the Tent of meeting, he put the altar of burned offerings, offering on it the burned offering and the meal offering, as the Lord had given him orders.

bbe@Exodus:40:30 @And between the altar and the Tent of meeting he put the vessel with water in it for washing.

bbe@Exodus:40:31 @In it the hands and feet of Moses and Aaron and his sons were washed,

bbe@Exodus:40:35 @So that Moses was not able to go into the Tent of meeting, because the cloud was resting on it, and the House was full of the glory of the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:40:37 @But while the cloud was there, they made no move till it was taken up.

bbe@Exodus:40:38 @For the cloud of the Lord was resting on the House by day, and at night there was fire in the cloud, before the eyes of all the people of Israel, and so it was through all their journeys.

bbe@Leviticus:1:1 @And the voice of the Lord came to Moses out of the Tent of meeting, saying,

bbe@Leviticus:1:2 @Give these orders to the children of Israel: When anyone of you makes an offering to the Lord, you are to take it from the cattle, from the herd or from the flock.

bbe@Leviticus:1:3 @If the offering is a burned offering of the herd, let him give a male without a mark: he is to give it at the door of the Tent of meeting so that he may be pleasing to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:1:4 @And he is to put his hand on the head of the burned offering and it will be taken for him, to take away his sin.

bbe@Leviticus:1:5 @And the ox is to be put to death before the Lord: then Aaron's sons, the priests, are to take the blood and put some of it on and round the altar which is at the door of the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Leviticus:1:6 @And the burned offering is to be skinned and cut up into its parts.

bbe@Leviticus:1:7 @And Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put fire on the altar and put the wood in order on the fire:

bbe@Leviticus:1:8 @And Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put the parts, the head and the fat, in order on the wood which is on the fire on the altar:

bbe@Leviticus:1:9 @But its inside parts and its legs are to be washed with water, and it will all be burned on the altar by the priest for a burned offering, an offering made by fire, for a sweet smell to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:1:10 @And if his offering is of the flock, a burned offering of sheep or goats, let him give a male without a mark.

bbe@Leviticus:1:11 @And he is to put it to death on the north side of the altar before the Lord: and Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put some of the blood on and round the altar.

bbe@Leviticus:1:12 @And the offering is to be cut into its parts, with its head and its fat; and the priest is to put them in order on the wood which is on the fire on the altar:

bbe@Leviticus:1:13 @But the inside parts and the legs are to be washed with water; and the priest will make an offering of all of it, burning it on the altar: it is a burned offering, an offering made by fire, for a sweet smell to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:1:14 @And if his offering to the Lord is a burned offering of birds, then he is to make his offering of doves or of young pigeons.

bbe@Leviticus:1:15 @And the priest is to take it to the altar, and after its head has been twisted off, it is to be burned on the altar, and its blood drained out on the side of the altar:

bbe@Leviticus:1:16 @And he is to take away its stomach, with its feathers, and put it down by the east side of the altar, where the burned waste is put:

bbe@Leviticus:1:17 @And let it be broken open at the wings, but not cut in two; and let it be burned on the altar by the priest on the wood which is on the fire; it is a burned offering; an offering made by fire for a sweet smell to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:2:1 @And when anyone makes a meal offering to the Lord, let his offering be of the best meal, with oil on it and perfume:

bbe@Leviticus:2:2 @And let him take it to Aaron's sons, the priests; and having taken in his hand some of the meal and of the oil, with all the perfume, let him give it to the priest to be burned on the altar, as a sign, an offering made by fire, for a sweet smell to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:2:3 @And the rest of the meal offering will be for Aaron and his sons; it is most holy among the Lord's fire offerings.

bbe@Leviticus:2:4 @And when you give a meal offering cooked in the oven, let it be of unleavened cakes of the best meal mixed with oil, or thin unleavened cakes covered with oil.

bbe@Leviticus:2:5 @And if you give a meal offering cooked on a flat plate, let it be of the best meal, unleavened and mixed with oil.

bbe@Leviticus:2:9 @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:3:17 @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:4:11 @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: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:5:8 @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:5:19 @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:6:5 @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:7:24 @And the fat of that which comes to a natural death, and the fat of that which is attacked by beasts, may be used for other purposes, but not in any way for food.

bbe@Leviticus:7:25 @For anyone who takes as food the fat of any beast of which men make an offering by fire to the Lord, will be cut off from his people.

bbe@Leviticus:7:26 @And you are not to take for food any blood, of bird or of beast, in any of your houses.

bbe@Leviticus:7:27 @Whoever takes any blood for food will be cut off from his people.

bbe@Leviticus:7:28 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:7:29 @Say to the children of Israel: He who makes a peace-offering to the Lord, is to give an offering to the Lord out of his peace-offering:

bbe@Leviticus:7:30 @He himself is to take to the Lord the offering made by fire, even the fat with the breast, so that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:7:31 @And the fat is to be burned by the priest on the altar, but the breast is for Aaron and his sons.

bbe@Leviticus:7:32 @And the right leg you are to give to the priest for an offering to be lifted up out of what is given for your peace-offerings.

bbe@Leviticus:7:33 @That man, among the sons of Aaron, by whom the blood of the peace-offering and the fat are offered, is to have the right leg for his part.

bbe@Leviticus:7:34 @For the breast which is waved and the right leg which is lifted up on high I have taken from the children of Israel, from their peace-offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as their right for ever from the children of Israel.

bbe@Leviticus:7:35 @This is the holy part given to Aaron and to his sons, out of the offerings made to the Lord by fire, on the day when they were made priests before the Lord;

bbe@Leviticus:7:36 @Which the Lord said the children of Israel were to give them, on the day when he made them his priests. It is their right for ever from generation to generation.

bbe@Leviticus:7:37 @These are the laws for the burned offering, the meal offering, and the offering for wrongdoing; and for the making of priests, and for the giving of peace-offerings;

bbe@Leviticus:7:38 @As they were given by the Lord to Moses on Mount Sinai, on the day when the Lord gave orders to the children of Israel to make their offerings to the Lord, in the waste land of Sinai.

bbe@Leviticus:8:1 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:8:2 @Take Aaron, and his sons with him, and the robes and the holy oil and the ox of the sin-offering and the two male sheep and the basket of unleavened bread;

bbe@Leviticus:8:3 @And let all the people come together at the door of the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Leviticus:8:4 @And Moses did as the Lord said, and all the people came together at the door of the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Leviticus:8:5 @And Moses said to the people, This is what the Lord has given orders to be done.

bbe@Leviticus:8:6 @Then Moses took Aaron and his sons; and after washing them with water,

bbe@Leviticus:8:7 @He put the coat on him, making it tight with its band, and then the robe, and over it the ephod, with its band of needlework to keep it in place.

bbe@Leviticus:8:8 @And he put the priest's bag on him, and in the bag he put the Urim and Thummim.

bbe@Leviticus:8:9 @And on his head he put the head-dress, and in front of the head-dress the plate of gold, the holy crown, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

bbe@Leviticus:8:10 @And Moses took the holy oil and put it on the House and on all the things in it, to make them holy.

bbe@Leviticus:8:11 @Seven times he put oil on the altar and on all its vessels, and on the washing-basin and its base, to make them holy.

bbe@Leviticus:8:12 @And some of the oil he put on Aaron's head, to make him holy.

bbe@Leviticus:8:13 @Then he took Aaron's sons, clothing them with the coats, and putting the bands round them, and the head-dresses on their heads, as the Lord had given him orders.

bbe@Leviticus:8:14 @And he took the ox of the sin-offering: and Aaron and his sons put their hands on the head of the ox,

bbe@Leviticus:8:15 @And he put it to death; and Moses took the blood and put it on the horns of the altar and round it with his finger, and made the altar clean, draining out the blood at the base of the altar; so he made it holy, taking away what was unclean.

bbe@Leviticus:8:16 @And he took all the fat on the inside parts, and the fat on the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, to be burned on the altar;

bbe@Leviticus:8:17 @But the ox, with its skin and its flesh and its waste, was burned with fire outside the tent-circle, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

bbe@Leviticus:8:18 @And he put the male sheep of the burned offering before the Lord, and Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head,

bbe@Leviticus:8:19 @And he put it to death; and Moses put some of the blood on and round the altar.

bbe@Leviticus:8:20 @And when the sheep had been cut into parts, the head and the parts and the fat were burned by Moses.

bbe@Leviticus:8:21 @And the inside parts and the legs were washed with water and all the sheep was burned by Moses on the altar; it was a burned offering for a sweet smell: it was an offering made by fire to the Lord, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

bbe@Leviticus:8:22 @And he put the other sheep before the Lord, the sheep with which they were made priests; and Aaron and his sons put their hands on the head of the sheep,

bbe@Leviticus:8:23 @And he put it to death; and Moses took some of the blood and put it on the point of Aaron's right ear and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot.

bbe@Leviticus:8:24 @Then he took Aaron's sons, and Moses put some of the blood on the point of their right ears and on the thumbs of their right hands and on the great toes of their right feet: and Moses put the blood on and round the altar.

bbe@Leviticus:8:25 @And he took the fat, and the fat tail, and the fat on the inside parts, and the fat on the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, and the right leg;

bbe@Leviticus:8:26 @And out of the basket of unleavened bread which was before the Lord he took one unleavened cake, and one cake of bread with oil on it, and one thin cake, and put them on the fat and on the right leg:

bbe@Leviticus:8:27 @And he put them all on the hands of Aaron and on the hands of his sons, waving them for a wave offering before the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:8:28 @And Moses took them from their hands, and they were burned on the altar on the burned offering, as a priest's offering for a sweet smell, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:8:29 @And Moses took the breast, waving it for a wave offering before the Lord; it was Moses' part of the sheep of the priest's offering, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

bbe@Leviticus:8:30 @And Moses took some of the holy oil and of the blood which was on the altar and put it on Aaron and on his robes, and on his sons and on his sons' robes; and made Aaron holy, and his robes and his sons and his sons' robes with him.

bbe@Leviticus:8:31 @And Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, The flesh is to be cooked in water at the door of the Tent of meeting, and there you are to take it as food, together with the bread in the basket, as I have given orders, saying, It is the food of Aaron and his sons.

bbe@Leviticus:8:32 @And that which is over of the flesh and of the bread is to be burned with fire.

bbe@Leviticus:8:33 @And you are not to go out from the door of the Tent of meeting for seven days, till the days for making you priest are ended; for this will be the work of seven days.

bbe@Leviticus:8:34 @What has been done this day, has been ordered by the Lord to take away your sin.

bbe@Leviticus:8:35 @And you are to keep watch for the Lord at the door of the Tent of meeting day and night for seven days, so that death may not come to you: for so he has given me orders.

bbe@Leviticus:8:36 @And Aaron and his sons did all the things about which the Lord had given orders through Moses.

bbe@Leviticus:9:1 @And on the eighth day Moses sent for Aaron and his sons and the responsible men of Israel;

bbe@Leviticus:9:2 @And he said to Aaron, Take a young ox for a sin-offering and a male sheep for a burned offering, without a mark, and make an offering of them before the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:9:3 @And say to the children of Israel: Take a he-goat for a sin-offering, and a young ox and a lamb, in their first year, without any mark on them, for a burned offering;

bbe@Leviticus:9:4 @And an ox and a male sheep for peace-offerings, to be put to death before the Lord; and a meal offering mixed with oil: for this day you are to see the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:9:5 @And they took the things ordered by Moses, before the Tent of meeting, and all the people came near, waiting before the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:9:6 @And Moses said, This is what the Lord has said you are to do; and you will see the glory of the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:9:7 @And Moses said to Aaron, Come near to the altar and make your sin-offering and your burned offering to take away your sin and the sin of the people, and make the people's offering to take away their sin; as the Lord has given orders.

bbe@Leviticus:9:8 @So Aaron came near to the altar and put to death the ox for the sin-offering for himself;

bbe@Leviticus:9:9 @And the sons of Aaron gave him the blood and he put his finger in the blood and put it on the horns of the altar, draining out the blood at the base of the altar;

bbe@Leviticus:9:10 @But the fat and the kidneys and the fat on the liver of the sin-offering were burned by him on the altar as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

bbe@Leviticus:9:11 @And the flesh and the skin were burned with fire outside the tent-circle;

bbe@Leviticus:9:12 @And he put to death the burned offering; and Aaron's sons gave him the blood and he put some of it on and round the altar;

bbe@Leviticus:9:13 @And they gave him the parts of the burned offering, in their order, and the head, to be burned on the altar.

bbe@Leviticus:9:14 @And the inside parts and the legs, when they had been washed with water, were burned on the burned offering on the altar.

bbe@Leviticus:9:15 @And he made an offering for the people and took the goat of the sin-offering for the people and put it to death, offering it for sin, in the same way as the first.

bbe@Leviticus:9:16 @And he took the burned offering, offering it in the ordered way;

bbe@Leviticus:9:17 @And he put the meal offering before the Lord, and taking some of it in his hand he had it burned on the altar, separately from the burned offering of the morning.

bbe@Leviticus:9:18 @And he put to death the ox and the sheep, which were the peace-offerings for the people; and Aaron's sons gave him the blood and he put some of it on and round the altar;

bbe@Leviticus:9:19 @And as for the fat of the ox and the fat tail of the sheep and the fat covering the inside parts and the kidneys and the fat on the liver;

bbe@Leviticus:9:20 @They put the fat on the breasts, and the fat was burned on the altar

bbe@Leviticus:9:21 @And Aaron took the breasts and the right leg, waving them for a wave offering before the Lord, as Moses gave orders.

bbe@Leviticus:9:22 @And Aaron, lifting up his hands to the people, gave them a blessing; and he came down from offering the sin-offering, and the burned offering, and the peace-offerings.

bbe@Leviticus:9:23 @And Moses and Aaron went into the Tent of meeting, and came out and gave the people a blessing, and the glory of the Lord was seen by all the people.

bbe@Leviticus:9:24 @And fire came out from before the Lord, burning up the offering on the altar and the fat: and when all the people saw it, they gave a loud cry, falling down on their faces.

bbe@Leviticus:10:1 @And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took their vessels and put fire in them and perfume, burning strange fire before the Lord, which he had not given them orders to do.

bbe@Leviticus:10:2 @And fire came out from before the Lord, burning them up and causing their destruction before the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:10:3 @Then Moses said to Aaron, This is what the Lord said, I will be holy in the eyes of all those who come near to me, and I will be honoured before all the people. And Aaron said nothing.

bbe@Leviticus:10:4 @And Moses sent for Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel, the brother of Aaron's father, and said to them, Come near and take your brothers away from before the holy place, outside the tent-circle.

bbe@Leviticus:10:5 @So they came and took them, in their coats, outside the tent-circle, as Moses had said.

bbe@Leviticus:10:6 @And Moses said to Aaron and to Eleazar and Ithamar, his sons, Do not let your hair be loose, and give no signs of grief; so that death may not overtake you, and his wrath come on all the people; but let there be weeping among your brothers and all the house of Israel for this burning of the Lord's fire.

bbe@Leviticus:10:7 @And do not go out from the door of the Tent of meeting, or death will come to you; for the holy oil of the Lord is on you. And they did as Moses said.

bbe@Leviticus:10:8 @And the Lord said to Aaron:

bbe@Leviticus:10:9 @Take no wine, or strong drink, you or your sons with you, when you go into the Tent of meeting, that it may not be the cause of death to you; this is an order for ever through all your generations

bbe@Leviticus:10:10 @And make a division between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean;

bbe@Leviticus:10:11 @Teaching the children of Israel all the laws which the Lord has given them by the hand of Moses.

bbe@Leviticus:10:12 @And Moses said to Aaron and to Eleazar and Ithamar, his sons who were still living, Take the rest of the meal offering from the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and take it for your food, without leaven, at the side of the altar, for it is most holy.

bbe@Leviticus:10:13 @It is to be for your food in a holy place, because it is your right and your sons' right, from the offerings of the Lord made by fire: for so am I ordered.

bbe@Leviticus:10:14 @And the breast which is waved and the leg which is lifted up on high, you are to take as your food in a clean place; you and your sons and your daughters with you: for they are given to you as your right and your sons' right, from the peace-offerings of the children of Israel.

bbe@Leviticus:10:15 @Let them take the breast which is waved and the leg which is lifted up on high, with the fat of the burned offering, to be waved for a wave offering before the Lord; and this will be for you and for your sons with you, for a right for ever, as the Lord has given orders.

bbe@Leviticus:10:16 @And Moses was looking for the goat of the sin-offering, but it was burned; and he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron, who were still living, saying,

bbe@Leviticus:10:17 @Why did you not make a meal of the sin-offering in the holy place? For it is most holy and he has given it to you, so that the sin of the people may be put on it, to take away their sin before the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:10:18 @See, its blood was not taken into the holy place: certainly it was right for you to have taken it as food in the holy place, as I gave orders.

bbe@Leviticus:10:19 @And Aaron said to Moses, You have seen that today they have made their sin-offering and their burned offering before the Lord, and such things as these have come on me. If I had taken the sin-offering as food today, would it have been pleasing to the Lord?

bbe@Leviticus:10:20 @And after hearing this, Moses was no longer angry.

bbe@Leviticus:11:1 @And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,

bbe@Leviticus:11:2 @Say to the children of Israel: These are the living things which you may have for food among all the beasts on the earth.

bbe@Leviticus:11:3 @You may have as food any beast which has a division in the horn of its foot, and whose food comes back into its mouth to be crushed again.

bbe@Leviticus:11:4 @But, at the same time, of those beasts, you may not take for food the camel, because its food comes back but the horn of its foot is not parted in two; it is unclean to you.

bbe@Leviticus:11:5 @And the rock-badger, for the same reason, is unclean to you.

bbe@Leviticus:11:6 @And the hare, because the horn of its foot is not parted in two, is unclean to you.

bbe@Leviticus:11:7 @And the pig is unclean to you, because though the horn of its foot is parted, its food does not come back.

bbe@Leviticus:11:8 @Their flesh may not be used for food, and their dead bodies may not even be touched; they are unclean to you.

bbe@Leviticus:11:9 @These you may have for food of all things living in the water: anything living in the water, in the seas or rivers, which has special parts for swimming and skin formed of thin plates, may be used for food.

bbe@Leviticus:11:10 @All other things living and moving in the water, in the sea or in the rivers, are a disgusting thing to you;

bbe@Leviticus:11:11 @They may not be used for food, and their dead bodies are disgusting to you

bbe@Leviticus:11:12 @Anything in the water which has no special parts for swimming and no thin plates on its skin is disgusting to you.

bbe@Leviticus:11:13 @And among birds these are to be disgusting to you, and not to be used for food: the eagle and the gier-eagle and the ospray;

bbe@Leviticus:11:14 @And the kite and the falcon, and birds of that sort;

bbe@Leviticus:11:15 @Every raven, and birds of that sort;

bbe@Leviticus:11:16 @And the ostrich and the night-hawk and the sea-hawk, and birds of that sort;

bbe@Leviticus:11:17 @And the little owl and the cormorant and the great owl;

bbe@Leviticus:11:18 @And the water-hen and the pelican and the vulture;

bbe@Leviticus:11:19 @The stork and the heron, and birds of that sort, and the hoopoe and the bat.

bbe@Leviticus:11:20 @Every winged four-footed thing which goes on the earth is disgusting to you;

bbe@Leviticus:11:21 @But of the winged four-footed things, those which have long legs for jumping on the earth you may have for food;

bbe@Leviticus:11:22 @Such as all the different sorts of locust.

bbe@Leviticus:11:23 @But all other winged four-footed things which go on the earth are disgusting to you.

bbe@Leviticus:11:24 @By these you will be made unclean; anyone touching their dead bodies will be unclean till evening:

bbe@Leviticus:11:25 @Whoever takes away the dead body of one of them is to have his clothing washed, and will be unclean till evening.

bbe@Leviticus:11:26 @Every beast, in the horn of whose foot there is not a complete division, and whose food does not come back, is unclean to you: anyone touching one of these will be unclean.

bbe@Leviticus:11:27 @Any four-footed beast which goes on the ball of its foot, is unclean to you: anyone touching the dead body of one of these will be unclean till evening.

bbe@Leviticus:11:28 @Anyone who takes away the dead body of one of these is to have his clothing washed and be unclean till evening.

bbe@Leviticus:11:29 @And these are unclean to you among things which go low down on the earth; the weasel and the mouse and the great lizard, and animals of that sort;

bbe@Leviticus:11:30 @And the ferret and the land crocodile and the lizard and the sand-lizard and the chameleon.

bbe@Leviticus:11:31 @All these are unclean to you: anyone touching them when they are dead will be unclean till evening.

bbe@Leviticus:11:32 @The dead body of any of these, falling on anything, will make that thing unclean; if it is any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or bag, whatever it is, if it is used for any purpose, it will have to be put into water, and will be unclean till evening; after that it will be clean.

bbe@Leviticus:11:33 @And if one of them gets into any vessel of earth, whatever is in the vessel will be unclean and the vessel will have to be broken.

bbe@Leviticus:11:34 @Any food in it, and anything on which water from it comes, will be unclean: any drink taken from such a vessel will be unclean.

bbe@Leviticus:11:35 @Any part of the dead body of one of these, falling on anything, will make it unclean; if it is an oven or a cooking-pot it will have to be broken: they are unclean and will be unclean to you.

bbe@Leviticus:11:36 @But at the same time a fountain or a place where water is stored for use will be clean; but anyone touching their dead bodies will be unclean.

bbe@Leviticus:11:37 @If any part of the dead body of one of these gets on to any seed for planting, it is clean;

bbe@Leviticus:11:38 @But if water is put on the seed, and any part of the dead body gets on to it, it will be unclean to you.

bbe@Leviticus:11:39 @And if any beast which may be used for food comes to a natural death, anyone touching its dead body will be unclean till evening.

bbe@Leviticus:11:40 @And he who makes use of any part of its body for food is to have his clothing washed and be unclean till evening; and anyone taking away its body is to have his clothing washed and be unclean till evening.

bbe@Leviticus:11:41 @Everything which goes flat on its body on the earth is disgusting, and is not to be used for food.

bbe@Leviticus:11:42 @Whatever goes on its stomach or on four feet or has a great number of feet, even all those going flat on the earth, may not be used for food, for they are disgusting.

bbe@Leviticus:11:43 @You are not to make yourselves disgusting with anything which goes about flat on the earth; you may not make yourselves unclean with them, in such a way that you are not holy to me.

bbe@Leviticus:11:44 @For I am the Lord your God: for this reason, make and keep yourselves holy, for I am holy; you are not to make yourselves unclean with any sort of thing which goes about flat on the earth.

bbe@Leviticus:11:45 @For I am the Lord, who took you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God; so be you holy, for I am holy.

bbe@Leviticus:11:46 @This is the law about beasts and birds and every living thing moving in the waters, and every living thing which goes flat on the earth:

bbe@Leviticus:11:47 @Marking out the unclean from the clean, and the living thing which may be used for food from that which may not.

bbe@Leviticus:12:1 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:12:2 @Say to the children of Israel, If a woman is with child and gives birth to a male child, she will be unclean for seven days, as when she is unwell.

bbe@Leviticus:12:3 @And on the eighth day let him be given circumcision.

bbe@Leviticus:12:4 @And she will be unclean for thirty-three days till the flow of her blood is stopped; no holy thing may be touched by her, and she may not come into the holy place, till the days for making her clean are ended.

bbe@Leviticus:12:5 @But if she gives birth to a female child, then she will be unclean for two weeks, as when she is unwell; and she will not be completely clean for sixty-six days.

bbe@Leviticus:12:6 @And when the days are ended for making her clean for a son or a daughter, let her take to the priest at the door of the Tent of meeting, a lamb of the first year for a burned offering and a young pigeon or a dove for a sin-offering:

bbe@Leviticus:12:7 @And the priest is to make an offering of it before the Lord and take away her sin, and she will be made clean from the flow of her blood. This is the law for a woman who gives birth to a male or a female.

bbe@Leviticus:12:8 @And if she has not money enough for a lamb, then let her take two doves or two young pigeons, one for a burned offering and the other for a sin-offering, and the priest will take away her sin and she will be clean,

bbe@Leviticus:13:1 @And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,

bbe@Leviticus:13:2 @If a man has on his skin a growth or a mark or a white place, and it becomes the disease of a leper, let him be taken to Aaron the priest, or to one of the priests, his sons;

bbe@Leviticus:13:3 @And if, when the priest sees the mark on his skin, the hair on the place is turned white and the mark seems to go deeper than the skin, it is the mark of a leper: and the priest, after looking at him, will say that he is unclean.

bbe@Leviticus:13:4 @But if the mark on his skin is white, and does not seem to go deeper than the skin, and the hair on it is not turned white, then the priest will keep him shut up for seven days;

bbe@Leviticus:13:5 @And the priest is to see him on the seventh day; and if, in his opinion, the place on his skin has not become worse and is not increased in size, then the priest will keep him shut up for seven days more:

bbe@Leviticus:13:6 @And the priest is to see him again on the seventh day; and if the mark is less bright and is not increased on his skin, then let the priest say that he is clean: it is only a skin-mark, and after his clothing has been washed he will be clean.

bbe@Leviticus:13:7 @But if the size of the mark on his skin is increased after he has been seen by the priest, let him go to the priest again:

bbe@Leviticus:13:8 @And if, after looking at him, he sees that the mark is increased in his skin, let the priest say that he is unclean; he is a leper.

bbe@Leviticus:13:9 @When the disease of a leper is seen on a man, let him be taken to the priest;

bbe@Leviticus:13:10 @And if the priest sees that there is a white growth on the skin, and the hair is turned white, and there is diseased flesh in the growth,

bbe@Leviticus:13:11 @It is an old disease in the skin of his flesh, and the priest will say that he is unclean; he will not have to be shut up, for he is clearly unclean.

bbe@Leviticus:13:12 @And if the disease comes out all over his skin, from his head to his feet, as far as the priest is able to see,

bbe@Leviticus:13:13 @And if the priest sees that all his flesh is covered with the leper's disease, the priest will say that he is clean: it is all turned white, he is clean.

bbe@Leviticus:13:14 @But whenever diseased flesh is seen on him, he will be unclean.

bbe@Leviticus:13:15 @And when the priest sees the diseased flesh he will say that he is unclean; the diseased flesh is unclean, he is a leper

bbe@Leviticus:13:16 @Or if the diseased flesh is turned again and changed to white then he is to come to the priest,

bbe@Leviticus:13:17 @And the priest will see him: and if the place is turned white, then the priest will say that he is free from the disease.

bbe@Leviticus:13:18 @And if a bad place has come out on the skin and is well again,

bbe@Leviticus:13:19 @And on the same place there is a white growth of a bright mark, red and white, then let the priest see it;

bbe@Leviticus:13:20 @And after looking at it, if it seems to go deeper than the skin, and the hair on it is turned white, then the priest will say that the man is unclean: it is the leper's disease, it has come out in the bad place.

bbe@Leviticus:13:21 @But if, after looking at it, he sees that there are no white hairs on it, and it is not deeper than the skin, and it is not very bright, then let the priest keep him shut up for seven days:

bbe@Leviticus:13:22 @And if it is increasing on the skin, the priest will say that he is unclean: it is a disease.

bbe@Leviticus:13:23 @But if the bright mark keeps in the same place and gets no greater, it is the mark of the old wound, and the priest will say that he is clean.

bbe@Leviticus:13:24 @Or if there is a burn on the skin of the flesh, and if the diseased flesh in the burn becomes a bright place, red and white or white,

bbe@Leviticus:13:25 @The priest is to see it: and if the hair on the bright place is turned white and it seems to go deeper than the skin, he is a leper: it has come out in the burn, and the priest will say that he is unclean: it is the leper's disease.

bbe@Leviticus:13:26 @But if, after looking at it, the priest sees that there is no white hair on the bright place, and it is not deeper than the skin, and is not very bright, then let the priest keep him shut up for seven days:

bbe@Leviticus:13:27 @And the priest is to see him again on the seventh day; if it is increased in the skin, then the priest will say that he is unclean: it is the leper's disease.

bbe@Leviticus:13:28 @And if the bright place keeps the same size and gets no greater on the skin, but is less bright, it is the effect of the burn, and the priest will say that he is clean: it is the mark of the burn.

bbe@Leviticus:13:29 @And when a man or a woman has a disease on the head, or in the hair of the chin,

bbe@Leviticus:13:30 @Then the priest is to see the diseased place: and if it seems to go deeper than the skin, and if there is thin yellow hair in it, then the priest will say that he is unclean: he has the mark of the leper's disease on his head or in the hair of his chin.

bbe@Leviticus:13:31 @And after looking at the diseased place, if it does not seem to go deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then the priest will have him shut up for seven days:

bbe@Leviticus:13:32 @And on the seventh day the priest will see the place: and if it is not increased, and there is no yellow hair in it, and it does not seem to go deeper than the skin,

bbe@Leviticus:13:33 @Then his hair is to be cut off, but not on the diseased place, and he is to be shut up for seven days more:

bbe@Leviticus:13:34 @And on the seventh day the priest will see the place: and if it is not increased, and does not seem to go deeper than the skin, the priest will say that he is clean: and after his clothing has been washed he will be clean.

bbe@Leviticus:13:35 @But if the disease in his skin becomes worse after he has been made clean,

bbe@Leviticus:13:36 @Then the priest is to see him: and if the mark is increased, the priest, without looking for the yellow hair, will say that he is unclean.

bbe@Leviticus:13:37 @But if, in his opinion, the growth is stopped, and black hair has come up on it, the disease has gone; he is clean and the priest will say that he is clean.

bbe@Leviticus:13:38 @And if a man or a woman has bright marks on the skin of their flesh, that is, bright white marks,

bbe@Leviticus:13:39 @Then the priest is to see them: and if the white marks on their skin are not very bright, it is a skin disease which has come out on the skin; he is clean.

bbe@Leviticus:13:40 @And if a man's hair has come out and he has no hair, still he is clean.

bbe@Leviticus:13:41 @And if the hair has gone from the front part of his head, so that he has no hair there, still he is clean.

bbe@Leviticus:13:42 @But if, on his head or on his brow, where he has no hair, there is a red and white place, it is the disease of the leper coming out on his head or on his brow.

bbe@Leviticus:13:43 @Then if the priest sees that the growth of the disease has become red and white on his head or on his brow where there is no hair, like the mark in the skin of a leper;

bbe@Leviticus:13:44 @He is a leper and unclean; the priest is to say that he is most certainly unclean: the disease is in his head.

bbe@Leviticus:13:45 @And the leper who has the disease on him is to go about with signs of grief, with his hair loose and his mouth covered, crying, Unclean, unclean.

bbe@Leviticus:13:46 @While the disease is on him, he will be unclean. He is unclean: let him keep by himself, living outside the tent-circle.

bbe@Leviticus:13:47 @And any clothing of wool or of linen in which is the mark of the disease;

bbe@Leviticus:13:48 @If it is in the threads of the linen or of the wool, or in leather, or in anything made of skin;

bbe@Leviticus:13:49 @If there are red or green marks on the clothing, or on the leather, or in the threads of the cloth, or in anything made of skin, it is the leper's disease: let the priest see it.

bbe@Leviticus:13:50 @And after it has been seen by the priest, the thing which is so marked is to be shut up for seven days:

bbe@Leviticus:13:51 @And he is to see the mark on the seventh day; if the mark is increased in the clothing, or in the threads of the material, or in the leather, whatever the leather is used for, it is the disease biting into it: it is unclean.

bbe@Leviticus:13:52 @And the clothing, or the wool or linen material, or anything of leather in which is the disease, is to be burned: for the disease is biting into it; let it be burned in the fire.

bbe@Leviticus:13:53 @And if the priest sees that the mark is not increased in the clothing or in any part of the material or in the leather,

bbe@Leviticus:13:54 @Then the priest will give orders for the thing on which the mark is, to be washed, and to be shut up for seven days more:

bbe@Leviticus:13:55 @And if, after the mark has been washed, the priest sees that the colour of it is not changed and it is not increased, it is to be burned in the fire: the disease is working in it, though the damage may be inside or outside.

bbe@Leviticus:13:56 @And if the priest sees that the mark is less bright after the washing, then let him have it cut out of the clothing or the leather or from the threads of the material:

bbe@Leviticus:13:57 @And if the mark is still seen in the clothing or in the threads of the material or in the leather, it is the disease coming out: the thing in which the disease is will have to be burned with fire.

bbe@Leviticus:13:58 @And the material of the clothing, or anything of skin, which has been washed, if the mark has gone out of it, let it be washed a second time and it will be clean.

bbe@Leviticus:13:59 @This is the law about the leper's disease in the thread of wool or linen material, in clothing or in anything of skin, saying how it is to be judged clean or unclean.

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

bbe@Leviticus:14:2 @This is the law of the leper on the day when he is made clean: he is to be taken to the priest;

bbe@Leviticus:14:3 @And the priest is to go outside the tent-circle; and if, after looking, the priest sees that the mark of the disease has gone from him,

bbe@Leviticus:14:4 @Then the priest is to give orders to take, for him who is to be made clean, two living clean birds and some cedar wood and red thread and hyssop.

bbe@Leviticus:14:5 @And the priest will give orders for one of the birds to be put to death in a vessel made of earth, over flowing water.

bbe@Leviticus:14:6 @And he will take the living bird and the wood and the red thread and the hyssop and put them in the blood of the bird which was put to death over flowing water.

bbe@Leviticus:14:7 @And shaking it seven times over the man who is to be made clean, he will say that he is clean and will let the living bird go free into the open country.

bbe@Leviticus:14:8 @And he who is to be made clean will have his clothing washed and his hair cut and have a bath, and he will be clean. And after that he will come back to the tent-circle; but he is to keep outside his tent for seven days.

bbe@Leviticus:14:9 @And on the seventh day he is to have all the hair cut off his head and his chin and over his eyes--all his hair is to be cut off--and he will have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and he will be clean.

bbe@Leviticus:14:10 @And on the eighth day let him take two male lambs, without any marks on them, and one female lamb of the first year, without a mark, and three tenth parts of an ephah of the best meal, mixed with oil, and one log of oil.

bbe@Leviticus:14:11 @And the priest who is making him clean will put the man who is being made clean, together with these things, before the door of the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Leviticus:14:12 @And the priest is to take one of the male lambs and give it as an offering for wrongdoing, and the log of oil, waving them for a wave offering before the Lord;

bbe@Leviticus:14:13 @And he is to put the male lamb to death in the place where they put to death the sin-offering and the burned offering, in the holy place; for as the sin-offering is the property of the priest, so is the offering for wrongdoing: it is most holy.

bbe@Leviticus:14:14 @And let the priest take some of the blood of the offering for wrongdoing and put it on the point of the right ear of him who is to be made clean, and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot;

bbe@Leviticus:14:15 @And take some of the oil and put it in the hollow of his left hand;

bbe@Leviticus:14:16 @And let the priest put his right finger in the oil which is in his left hand, shaking it out with his finger seven times before the Lord;

bbe@Leviticus:14:17 @And of the rest of the oil which is in his hand, the priest will put some on the point of the right ear of the man who is to be made clean, and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot, over the blood of the offering for wrongdoing;

bbe@Leviticus:14:18 @And the rest of the oil in the priest's hand he will put on the head of him who is to be made clean; and so the priest will make him free from sin before the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:14:19 @And the priest will give the sin-offering, and take away the sin of him who is to be made clean from his unclean condition; and after that he will put the burned offering to death.

bbe@Leviticus:14:20 @And the priest is to have the burned offering and the meal offering burned on the altar; and the priest will take away his sin and he will be clean.

bbe@Leviticus:14:21 @And if he is poor and not able to get so much, then he may take one male lamb as an offering for wrongdoing, to be waved to take away his sin, and one tenth part of an ephah of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering, and a log of oil;

bbe@Leviticus:14:23 @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:14:31 @And of these, he will give one for a sin-offering and one for a burned offering, with the meal offering; and the priest will take away the sin of him who is to be made clean before the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:14:32 @This is the law for the man who has the disease of the leper on him, and who is not able to get that which is necessary for making himself clean.

bbe@Leviticus:14:33 @And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,

bbe@Leviticus:14:34 @When you have come into the land of Canaan which I will give you for your heritage, if I put the leper's disease on a house in the land of your heritage,

bbe@Leviticus:14:35 @Then let the owner of the house come and say to the priest, It seems to me that there is a sort of leper's disease in the house.

bbe@Leviticus:14:36 @And the priest will give orders for everything to be taken out of the house, before he goes in to see the disease, so that the things in the house may not become unclean; and then the priest is to go in to see the house;

bbe@Leviticus:14:37 @And if he sees that the walls of the house are marked with hollows of green and red, and if it seems to go deeper than the face of the wall;

bbe@Leviticus:14:38 @Then the priest will go out of the door of the house, and keep the house shut up for seven days:

bbe@Leviticus:14:39 @And the priest is to come again on the seventh day and have a look and see if the marks on the walls of the house are increased in size;

bbe@Leviticus:14:40 @Then the priest will give orders to them to take out the stones in which the disease is seen, and put them out into an unclean place outside the town:

bbe@Leviticus:14:41 @And he will have the house rubbed all over inside, and the paste which is rubbed off will be put out into an unclean place outside the town:

bbe@Leviticus:14:42 @And they will take other stones and put them in place of those stones, and he will take other paste and put it on the walls of the house.

bbe@Leviticus:14:43 @And if the disease comes out again in the house after he has taken out the stones and after the walls have been rubbed and the new paste put on,

bbe@Leviticus:14:44 @Then the priest will come and see it; and if the disease in the house is increased in size, it is the leper's disease working out in the house: it is unclean.

bbe@Leviticus:14:45 @And the house will have to be pulled down, the stones of it and the wood and the paste; and everything is to be taken out to an unclean place outside the town.

bbe@Leviticus:14:46 @And, in addition, anyone who goes into the house at any time, while it is shut up, will be unclean till evening.

bbe@Leviticus:14:47 @And anyone who has been sleeping in the house will have to have his clothing washed; and anyone who takes food in that house will have to have his clothing washed.

bbe@Leviticus:14:48 @And if the priest comes in, and sees that the disease is not increased after the new paste has been put on the house, then the priest will say that the house is clean, because the disease is gone.

bbe@Leviticus:14:49 @And in order to make the house clean, let him take two birds and cedar-wood and red thread and hyssop;

bbe@Leviticus:17:13 @And any man of Israel, or any other living among them, who gets with his bow any beast or bird used for food, is to see that its blood is covered with earth.

bbe@Leviticus:17:14 @For the blood is the life of all flesh: and so I have said to the children of Israel, You may not take any sort of blood as food, and any man who does so will be cut of.

bbe@Leviticus:17:15 @And anyone who takes as food anything which has come to a natural end, or anything which has been put to death by beasts, if he is one of you by birth, or of another nation, will have to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening, and then he will be clean.

bbe@Leviticus:17:16 @But if his clothing is not washed and his body bathed, his sin will be on him.

bbe@Leviticus:18:1 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:18:2 @Say to the children of Israel, I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Leviticus:18:3 @You may not do those things which were done in the land of Egypt where you were living; and you may not do those things which are done in the land of Canaan where I am taking you, or be guided in your behaviour by their rules.

bbe@Leviticus:18:4 @But you are to be guided by my decisions and keep my rules, and be guided by them: I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Leviticus:18:5 @So keep my rules and my decisions, which, if a man does them, will be life to him: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:18:6 @You may not have sex connection with anyone who is a near relation: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:18:7 @You may not have sex relations with your father or your mother: she is your mother, you may not take her.

bbe@Leviticus:18:8 @And you may not have sex relations with your father's wife: she is your father's.

bbe@Leviticus:18:9 @You may not take your sister, the daughter of your father or of your mother, wherever her birth took place, among you or in another country.

bbe@Leviticus:18:10 @You may not have sex relations with your son's daughter or your daughter's daughter, for they are part of yourself;

bbe@Leviticus:18:11 @Or your father's wife's daughter, the child of your father, for she is your sister.

bbe@Leviticus:18:12 @You may not have sex connection with your father's sister, for she is your father's near relation.

bbe@Leviticus:18:13 @You may not have sex connection with your mother's sister, for she is your mother's near relation.

bbe@Leviticus:18:14 @You may not have sex relations with the wife of your father's brother, for she is of your family;

bbe@Leviticus:18:15 @Or with your daughter-in-law, for she is your son's wife, and you may not take her.

bbe@Leviticus:18:16 @You may not have sex relations with your brother's wife, for she is your brother's.

bbe@Leviticus:18:17 @You may not take as wife a woman and her daughter, or her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter, for they are of one family: it is an act of shame.

bbe@Leviticus:18:18 @And you may not take as wife a woman and at the same time her sister, to be in competition with her in her life-time.

bbe@Leviticus:18:19 @And you may not go near a woman or have sex relations with her when she is unclean, at her regular time.

bbe@Leviticus:18:20 @And you may not have sex relations with your neighbour's wife, making yourself unclean with her.

bbe@Leviticus:18:21 @And you may not make any of your children go through the fire as an offering to Molech, and you may not put shame on the name of your God: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:18:22 @You may not have sex relations with men, as you do with women: it is a disgusting thing.

bbe@Leviticus:18:23 @And you may not have sex relations with a beast, making yourself unclean with it; and a woman may not give herself to a beast: it is an unnatural act.

bbe@Leviticus:18:24 @Do not make yourself unclean in any of these ways; for so have those nations whom I am driving out from before you made themselves unclean:

bbe@Leviticus:18:25 @And the land itself has become unclean; so that I have sent on it the reward of its wrongdoing, and the land itself puts out those who are living in it.

bbe@Leviticus:18:26 @So then keep my rules and my decisions, and do not do any of these disgusting things, those of you who are Israelites by birth, or any others who are living with you:

bbe@Leviticus:18:27 @(For all these disgusting things were done by the men of this country who were there before you, and the land has been made unclean by them;)

bbe@Leviticus:18:28 @So that the land may not put you out from it, when you make it unclean, as it put out the nations which were there before you.

bbe@Leviticus:18:29 @For all those who do any of these disgusting things will be cut off from among their people.

bbe@Leviticus:18:30 @So then, keep my orders, so that you may not do any of these disgusting things which were done before you, or make yourselves unclean through them: I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Leviticus:19:1 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:19:2 @Say to all the people of Israel, You are to be holy, for I, the Lord your God, am holy.

bbe@Leviticus:19:3 @Let every man give honour to his mother and to his father and keep my Sabbaths: I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Leviticus:19:4 @Do not go after false gods, and do not make metal images of gods for yourselves: I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Leviticus:19:5 @And when you give a peace offering to the Lord, do it in the way which is pleasing to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:19:6 @Let it be used for food on the same day on which it is offered, or on the day after; and whatever is over on the third day is to be burned with fire.

bbe@Leviticus:19:7 @If any of it is used for food on the third day, it is a disgusting thing and will not be pleasing to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:19:8 @And as for anyone who takes it for food, his sin will be on him, for he has put shame on the holy thing of the Lord: he will be cut off from his people.

bbe@Leviticus:19:9 @And when you get in the grain from your land, do not let all the grain be cut from the edges of the field, or take up what has been dropped on the earth after the getting in of the grain.

bbe@Leviticus:19:10 @And do not take all the grapes from your vine-garden, or the fruit dropped on the earth; let the poor man, and the man from another country, have these: I am the Lord your God

bbe@Leviticus:19:11 @Do not take anyone's property or be false in act or word to another.

bbe@Leviticus:19:12 @And do not take an oath in my name falsely, putting shame on the name of your God: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:19:13 @Do not be cruel to your neighbour or take what is his; do not keep back a servant's payment from him all night till the morning.

bbe@Leviticus:19:14 @Do not put a curse on those who have no hearing, or put a cause of falling in the way of the blind, but keep the fear of your God before you: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:19:15 @Do no wrong in your judging: do not give thought to the position of the poor, or honour to the position of the great; but be a judge to your neighbour in righteousness.

bbe@Leviticus:19:16 @Do not go about saying untrue things among your people, or take away the life of your neighbour by false witness: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:19:17 @Let there be no hate in your heart for your brother; but you may make a protest to your neighbour, so that he may be stopped from doing evil.

bbe@Leviticus:19:18 @Do not make attempts to get equal with one who has done you wrong, or keep hard feelings against the children of your people, but have love for your neighbour as for yourself: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:19:19 @Keep my laws. Do not let your cattle have offspring by those of a different sort; do not put mixed seed into your field; do not put on a robe made of two sorts of cloth.

bbe@Leviticus:19:20 @If any man has sex relations with a servant-woman who has given her word to be married to a man, and has not been made free for a price or in any other way, the thing will be looked into; but they will not be put to death because she was not a free woman.

bbe@Leviticus:19:21 @Let him take his offering for wrongdoing to the Lord, to the door of the Tent of meeting; let him give a male sheep as an offering for wrongdoing.

bbe@Leviticus:19:22 @And the priest will take away his sin before the Lord with the sheep which is offered for his wrongdoing, and he will have forgiveness for the sin which he has done.

bbe@Leviticus:19:23 @And when you have come into the land, and have put in all sorts of fruit-trees, their fruit will be as if they had not had circumcision, and for three years their fruit may not be used for food.

bbe@Leviticus:19:24 @And in the fourth year all the fruit will be holy as a praise-offering to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:19:25 @But in the fifth year you may take the fruit and the increase of it for your food: I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Leviticus:19:26 @Nothing may be used for food with its blood in it; you may not make use of strange arts, or go in search of signs and wonders.

bbe@Leviticus:19:27 @The ends of the hair round your face and on your chin may not be cut off.

bbe@Leviticus:19:28 @You may not make cuts in your flesh in respect for the dead, or have marks printed on your bodies: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:19:29 @Do not make your daughter common by letting her become a loose woman, for fear that the land may become full of shame.

bbe@Leviticus:19:30 @Keep my Sabbaths and have respect for my holy place: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:19:31 @Do not go after those who make use of spirits, or wonder-workers; do not go in their ways or become unclean through them: I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Leviticus:19:32 @Get up from your seats before the white-haired, and give honour to the old, and let the fear of your God be before you: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:19:33 @And if a man from another country is living in your land with you, do not make life hard for him;

bbe@Leviticus:19:34 @Let him be to you as one of your countrymen and have love for him as for yourself; for you were living in a strange land, in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Leviticus:19:35 @Do not make false decisions in questions of yard-sticks and weights and measures.

bbe@Leviticus:19:36 @Have true scales, true weights and measures for all things: I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt;

bbe@Leviticus:19:37 @You are to keep all my rules and my decisions and do them: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:20:1 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:20:2 @Again, say to the children of Israel, If any man of the children of Israel, or any other man living in Israel, gives his offspring to Molech, he is certainly to be put to death: he is to be stoned by the people of the land;

bbe@Leviticus:20:3 @And my face will be turned against that man, and he will be cut off from his people; because he has given his offspring to Molech, making my holy place unclean, and making my holy name common.

bbe@Leviticus:20:4 @And if the people of the land do not take note of that man when he gives his offspring to Molech, and do not put him to death,

bbe@Leviticus:20:5 @Then my face will be turned against him and his family, and he and all those who do evil with him will be cut off from among their people.

bbe@Leviticus:20:6 @And whoever goes after those who make use of spirits and wonder-workers, doing evil with them, against him will my face be turned, and he will be cut off from among his people.

bbe@Leviticus:20:7 @So make and keep yourselves holy, for I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Leviticus:20:8 @And keep my rules and do them: I am the Lord, who make you holy.

bbe@Leviticus:20:9 @Every man cursing his father or his mother is certainly to be put to death; because of his curse on his father or his mother, his blood will be on him.

bbe@Leviticus:20:10 @And if a man has sex relations with another man's wife, even the wife of his neighbour, he and she are certainly to be put to death.

bbe@Leviticus:20:11 @And the man who has sex relations with his father's wife has put shame on his father: the two of them are to be put to death; their blood will be on them.

bbe@Leviticus:20:12 @And if a man has sex relations with his son's wife, the two of them are to be put to death: it is unnatural; their blood will be on them

bbe@Leviticus:20:13 @And if a man has sex relations with a man, the two of them have done a disgusting thing: let them be put to death; their blood will be on them.

bbe@Leviticus:20:14 @And if a man takes as wife a woman and her mother, it is an act of shame; let them be burned with fire, all three of them, so that there may be no shame among you.

bbe@Leviticus:20:15 @And if a man has sex relations with a beast, let him be put to death, and let the beast be put to destruction.

bbe@Leviticus:20:16 @And if a woman goes near a beast and has sex relations with it, you will put an end to the woman and the beast: their blood will be on them.

bbe@Leviticus:20:17 @And if a man takes his sister, daughter of his father or his mother, and has sex relations with her and she with him, it is an act of shame: they are to be cut off before the children of their people; he has had sex relations with his sister, and his sin will be on him.

bbe@Leviticus:20:18 @And if a man has sex relations with a woman at the time when she is unwell, he has seen her fountain and she has let the fountain of her blood be uncovered, and the two of them are to be cut off from among their people.

bbe@Leviticus:20:19 @And you may not have sex connection with your mother's sister or your father's sister, for they are his near relations: their sin will be on them.

bbe@Leviticus:20:20 @And if a man has sex relations with the wife of his father's brother, he has put shame on his father's brother: their sin will be on them; till the day of their death they will have no children.

bbe@Leviticus:20:21 @And if a man takes his brother's wife, it is an unclean act; he has put shame on his brother; they will have no children.

bbe@Leviticus:20:22 @So then, keep my rules and my decisions and do them, so that the land which I am giving you as your resting-place may not violently send you out again.

bbe@Leviticus:20:23 @And do not keep the rules of the nations which I am driving out before you; for they did all these things, and for that reason my soul was turned against them.

bbe@Leviticus:20:24 @But I have said to you, You will take their land and I will give it to you for your heritage, a land flowing with milk and honey: I am the Lord your God who have made you separate from all other peoples.

bbe@Leviticus:20:25 @So then, make division between the clean beast and the unclean, and between the clean bird and the unclean: do not make yourselves disgusting by any beast or bird or anything which goes flat on the earth, which has been marked by me as unclean for you.

bbe@Leviticus:20:26 @And you are to be holy to me; for I the Lord am holy and have made you separate from the nations, so that you may be my people.

bbe@Leviticus:20:27 @Any man or woman who makes use of spirits, or who is a wonder-worker, is to be put to death: they are to be stoned with stones: their blood will be on them.

bbe@Leviticus:21:1 @And the Lord said to Moses, Say to the priests, the sons of Aaron, Let no man make himself unclean for the dead among his people;

bbe@Leviticus:21:2 @But only for his near relations, for his mother or his father, his son or his daughter, and his brother;

bbe@Leviticus:21:3 @And for his sister, a virgin, for she is his near relation and has had no husband, he may make himself unclean.

bbe@Leviticus:21:4 @But let him, being a chief among his people, not make himself unclean in such a way as to put shame on himself.

bbe@Leviticus:21:5 @They are not to have their hair cut off for the dead, or the hair on their chins cut short, or make cuts in their flesh.

bbe@Leviticus:21:6 @Let them be holy to their God and not make the name of their God common; for the fire offerings of the Lord and the bread of their God are offered by them, and they are to be holy.

bbe@Leviticus:21:7 @They may not take as wife a loose or common woman, or one who has been put away by her husband: for the priest is holy to his God.

bbe@Leviticus:21:8 @And he is to be holy in your eyes, for by him the bread of your God is offered; he is to be holy in your eyes, for I the Lord, who make you holy, am holy.

bbe@Leviticus:21:9 @And if the daughter of a priest makes herself common and by her loose behaviour puts shame on her father, let her be burned with fire.

bbe@Leviticus:21:10 @And he who is the chief priest among his brothers, on whose head the holy oil has been put, who is marked out to put on the holy robes, may not let his hair go loose or have his clothing out of order as a sign of sorrow.

bbe@Leviticus:21:11 @He may not go near any dead body or make himself unclean for his father or his mother;

bbe@Leviticus:21:12 @He may not go out of the holy place or make the holy place of his God common; for the crown of the holy oil of his God is on him: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:21:13 @And let him take as his wife one who has not had relations with a man.

bbe@Leviticus:21:14 @A widow, or one whose husband has put her away, or a common woman of loose behaviour, may not be the wife of a priest; but let him take a virgin from among his people

bbe@Leviticus:21:15 @And he may not make his seed unclean among his people, for I the Lord have made him holy.

bbe@Leviticus:21:16 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:21:17 @Say to Aaron, If a man of your family, in any generation, is damaged in body, let him not come near to make the offering of the bread of his God.

bbe@Leviticus:21:18 @For any man whose body is damaged may not come near: one who is blind, or has not the use of his legs, or one who has a broken nose or any unnatural growth,

bbe@Leviticus:21:19 @Or a man with broken feet or hands,

bbe@Leviticus:21:20 @Or one whose back is bent, or one who is unnaturally small, or one who has a damaged eye, or whose skin is diseased, or whose sex parts are damaged;

bbe@Leviticus:21:21 @No man of the offspring of Aaron whose body is damaged in any way may come near to give the fire offerings of the Lord: he is damaged, he may not come near to make the offerings.

bbe@Leviticus:21:22 @He may take of the bread of God, the holy and the most holy;

bbe@Leviticus:21:23 @But he may not go inside the veil or come near the altar, because he is damaged; and he may not make my holy places common; for I the Lord have made them holy.

bbe@Leviticus:21:24 @These are the words which Moses said to Aaron and to his sons and to all the children of Israel.

bbe@Leviticus:22:1 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:22:2 @Give orders to Aaron and to his sons to keep themselves separate from the holy things of the children of Israel which they give to me, and not to make my holy name common: I am the Lord,

bbe@Leviticus:22:3 @Say to them, If any man of all your seed through all your generations, being unclean, comes near the holy things which the children of Israel make holy to the Lord, he will be cut off from before me: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:22:4 @No man of the seed of Aaron who is a leper, or who has a flow from his body, may take of the holy food till he is clean. And any man touching anything which is unclean because of the dead, or any man whose seed goes from him;

bbe@Leviticus:22:5 @Or anyone touching any unclean thing which goes flat on the earth, or someone by whom he may be made unclean in any way whatever;

bbe@Leviticus:22:6 @Any person touching any such unclean thing will be unclean till evening, and may not take of the holy food till his flesh has been bathed in water;

bbe@Leviticus:22:7 @And when the sun has gone down he will be clean; and after that he may take part in the holy food, because it is his bread.

bbe@Leviticus:22:8 @That which comes to a natural death, or is attacked by beasts, he may not take as food, for it will make him unclean: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:22:9 @So then, let them keep what I have put into their care, for fear that sin may come on them because of it, so causing their death because they have made it common: I am the Lord, who make them holy.

bbe@Leviticus:22:10 @No outside person may take of the holy food, or one living as a guest in the priest's house, or a servant working for payment.

bbe@Leviticus:22:11 @But any person for whom the priest has given money, to make him his, may take of it with him; and those who come to birth in his house may take of his bread.

bbe@Leviticus:22:12 @And if the daughter of a priest is married to an outside person she may not take of the holy things which are lifted up as offerings.

bbe@Leviticus:22:13 @But if a priest's daughter is a widow, or parted from her husband, and has no child, and has come back to her father's house as when she was a girl, she may take of her father's bread; but no outside person may do so.

bbe@Leviticus:22:14 @And if a man takes the holy food in error, he will have to give the holy thing back to the priest, with the addition of a fifth part.

bbe@Leviticus:22:15 @And they may not make common the holy things which the children of Israel give to the Lord,

bbe@Leviticus:22:16 @So causing sin to come on them when they take their holy things for food: I am the Lord who make them holy

bbe@Leviticus:22:17 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:22:18 @Say to Aaron and to his sons and to all the children of Israel, If any man of the children of Israel, or of another nation living in Israel, makes an offering, given because of an oath or freely given to the Lord for a burned offering;

bbe@Leviticus:22:19 @So that it may be pleasing to the Lord, let him give a male, without any mark, from among the oxen or the sheep or the goats.

bbe@Leviticus:22:20 @But anything which has a mark you may not give; it will not make you pleasing to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:22:21 @And whoever makes a peace-offering to the Lord, in payment of an oath or as a free offering, from the herd or the flock, if it is to be pleasing to the Lord, let it be free from any mark or damage.

bbe@Leviticus:22:22 @Anything blind or broken or damaged or having any disease or any mark on it may not be offered to the Lord; you may not make an offering of it by fire on the altar to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:22:23 @An ox or a lamb which has more or less than its natural parts, may be given as a free offering; but it will not be taken in payment of an oath.

bbe@Leviticus:22:24 @An animal which has its sex parts damaged or crushed or broken or cut, may not be offered to the Lord; such a thing may not be done anywhere in your land.

bbe@Leviticus:22:25 @And from one who is not an Israelite you may not take any of these for an offering to the Lord; for they are unclean, there is a mark on them, and the Lord will not be pleased with them.

bbe@Leviticus:22:26 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:22:27 @When an ox or a sheep or a goat is given birth, let it be with its mother for seven days; and after the eighth day it may be taken as an offering made by fire to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:22:28 @A cow or a sheep may not be put to death with its young on the same day.

bbe@Leviticus:22:29 @And when you make an offering of praise to the Lord, make it in a way which is pleasing to him.

bbe@Leviticus:22:30 @Let it be used for food on the same day; do not keep any part of it till the morning: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:22:31 @So then, keep my orders and do them: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:22:32 @And do not make my holy name common; so that it may be kept holy by the children of Israel: I am the Lord who make you holy,

bbe@Leviticus:22:33 @Who took you out of the land of Egypt that I might be your God: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:23:1 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:23:2 @Say to the children of Israel, These are the fixed feasts of the Lord, which you will keep for holy meetings: these are my feasts.

bbe@Leviticus:23:3 @On six days work may be done; but the seventh day is a special day of rest, a time for worship; you may do no sort of work: it is a Sabbath to the Lord wherever you may be living.

bbe@Leviticus:23:4 @These are the fixed feasts of the Lord, the holy days of worship which you will keep at their regular times.

bbe@Leviticus:23:5 @In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at nightfall, is the Lord's Passover;

bbe@Leviticus:23:6 @And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread; for seven days let your food be unleavened bread.

bbe@Leviticus:23:7 @On the first day you will have a holy meeting; you may do no sort of field-work.

bbe@Leviticus:23:8 @And every day for seven days you will give a burned offering to the Lord; and on the seventh day there will be a holy meeting; you may do no field-work.

bbe@Leviticus:23:9 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:23:10 @Say to the children of Israel, When you have come to the land which I will give you, and have got in the grain from its fields, take some of the first-fruits of the grain to the priest;

bbe@Leviticus:23:11 @And let the grain be waved before the Lord, so that you may be pleasing to him; on the day after the Sabbath let it be waved by the priest.

bbe@Leviticus:23:12 @And on the day of the waving of the grain, you are to give a male lamb of the first year, without any mark, for a burned offering to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:23:13 @And let the meal offering with it be two tenth parts of an ephah of the best meal mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to the Lord for a sweet smell; and the drink offering with it is to be of wine, the fourth part of a hin.

bbe@Leviticus:23:14 @And you may take no bread or dry grain or new grain for food till the very day on which you have given the offering for your God: this is a rule for ever through all your generations wherever you are living.

bbe@Leviticus:23:15 @And let seven full weeks be numbered from the day after the Sabbath, the day when you give the grain for the wave offering;

bbe@Leviticus:23:16 @Let fifty days be numbered, to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then you are to give a new meal offering to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:23:17 @Take from your houses two cakes of bread, made of a fifth part of an ephah of the best meal, cooked with leaven, to be waved for first-fruits to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:23:18 @And with the bread, take seven lambs of the first year, without any marks, and one ox and two male sheep, to be a burned offering to the Lord, with their meal offering and their drink offerings, an offering of a sweet smell made by fire to the Lord

bbe@Leviticus:23:19 @And you are to give one male goat for a sin-offering and two male lambs of the first year for peace-offerings.

bbe@Leviticus:23:20 @And these will be waved by the priest, with the bread of the first-fruits, for a wave offering to the Lord, with the two lambs: they will be holy to the Lord for the priest.

bbe@Leviticus:23:21 @And on the same day, let it be given out that there will be a holy meeting for you: you may do no field-work on that day: it is a rule for ever through all your generations wherever you are living.

bbe@Leviticus:23:22 @And when you get in the grain from your land, do not let all the grain at the edges of the field be cut, and do not take up the grain which has been dropped in the field; let that be for the poor, and for the man from another country: I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Leviticus:23:23 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:23:24 @Say to the children of Israel, In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, let there be a special day of rest for you, a day of memory, marked by the blowing of horns, a meeting for worship.

bbe@Leviticus:23:25 @Do no field-work and give to the Lord an offering made by fire.

bbe@Leviticus:23:26 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:23:27 @The tenth day of this seventh month is the day for the taking away of sin; let it be a holy day of worship; you are to keep from pleasure, and give to the Lord an offering made by fire.

bbe@Leviticus:23:28 @And on that day you may do no sort of work, for it is a day of taking away sin, to make you clean before the Lord your God.

bbe@Leviticus:23:29 @For any person, whoever he may be, who takes his pleasure on that day will be cut off from his people.

bbe@Leviticus:23:30 @And if any person, whoever he may be, on that day does any sort of work, I will send destruction on him from among his people.

bbe@Leviticus:23:31 @You may not do any sort of work: this is an order for ever through all your generations wherever you may be living.

bbe@Leviticus:23:32 @Let this be a Sabbath of special rest to you, and keep yourselves from all pleasure; on the ninth day of the month at nightfall from evening to evening, let this Sabbath be kept.

bbe@Leviticus:23:33 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:23:34 @Say to the children of Israel, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month let the feast of tents be kept to the Lord for seven days.

bbe@Leviticus:23:35 @On the first day there will be a holy meeting: do no field-work.

bbe@Leviticus:23:36 @Every day for seven days give an offering made by fire to the Lord; and on the eighth day there is to be a holy meeting, when you are to give an offering made by fire to the Lord; this is a special holy day: you may do no field-work on that day.

bbe@Leviticus:23:37 @These are the fixed feasts of the Lord, to be kept by you as holy days of worship, for making an offering by fire to the Lord; a burned offering, a meal offering, an offering of beasts, and drink offerings; every one on its special day;

bbe@Leviticus:23:38 @In addition to the Sabbaths of the Lord, and in addition to the things you give and the oaths you make and the free offerings to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:23:39 @But on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have got in all the fruits of the land, you will keep the feast of the Lord for seven days: the first day will be a Sabbath, and the eighth day the same.

bbe@Leviticus:23:40 @On the first day, take the fruit of fair trees, branches of palm-trees, and branches of thick trees and trees from the riverside, and be glad before the Lord for seven days.

bbe@Leviticus:23:41 @And let this feast be kept before the Lord for seven days in the year: it is a rule for ever from generation to generation; in the seventh month let it be kept.

bbe@Leviticus:23:42 @For seven days you will be living in tents; all those who are Israelites by birth are to make tents their living-places:

bbe@Leviticus:23:43 @So that future generations may keep in mind how I gave the children of Israel tents as their living-places when I took them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Leviticus:23:44 @And Moses made clear to the children of Israel the orders about the fixed feasts of the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:24:1 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:24:2 @Give orders to the children of Israel to give you clean olive oil for the light, so that a light may be burning at all times,

bbe@Leviticus:24:3 @Outside the veil of the ark in the Tent of meeting; let Aaron see that it is burning from evening till morning at all times before the Lord: it is a rule for ever through all your generations.

bbe@Leviticus:24:4 @Let Aaron put the lights in order on the support before the Lord at all times.

bbe@Leviticus:24:5 @And take the best meal and make twelve cakes of it, a fifth part of an ephah in every cake.

bbe@Leviticus:24:6 @And put them in two lines, six in a line, on the holy table before the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:24:7 @And on the lines of cakes put clean sweet-smelling spices, for a sign on the bread, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:24:8 @Every Sabbath day regularly, the priest is to put it in order before the Lord: it is offered for the children of Israel, an agreement made for ever.

bbe@Leviticus:24:9 @And it will be for Aaron and his sons; they are to take it for food in a holy place: it is the most holy of all the offerings made by fire to the Lord, a rule for ever.

bbe@Leviticus:24:10 @And a son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel and had a fight with a man of Israel by the tents;

bbe@Leviticus:24:11 @And the son of the Israelite woman said evil against the holy Name, with curses; and they took him to Moses. His mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.

bbe@Leviticus:24:12 @And they kept him shut up, till a decision might be given by the mouth of the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:24:13 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:24:14 @Take the curser outside the tent-circle; and let all in whose hearing the words were said put their hands on his head, and let him be stoned by all the people.

bbe@Leviticus:24:15 @And say to the children of Israel, As for any man cursing God, his sin will be on his head.

bbe@Leviticus:24:16 @And he who says evil against the name of the Lord will certainly be put to death; he will be stoned by all the people; the man who is not of your nation and one who is an Israelite by birth, whoever says evil against the holy Name is to be put to death.

bbe@Leviticus:24:17 @And anyone who takes another's life is certainly to be put to death.

bbe@Leviticus:24:18 @And anyone wounding a beast and causing its death, will have to make payment for it: a life for a life.

bbe@Leviticus:24:19 @And if a man does damage to his neighbour, as he has done, so let it be done to him;

bbe@Leviticus:24:20 @Wound for wound, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; whatever damage he has done, so let it be done to him

bbe@Leviticus:24:21 @He who puts a beast to death will have to make payment for it; he who puts a man to death will himself be put to death.

bbe@Leviticus:24:22 @You are to have the same law for a man of another nation living among you as for an Israelite; for I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Leviticus:24:23 @And Moses said these words to the children of Israel, and they took the man who had been cursing outside the tent-circle and had him stoned. The children of Israel did as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

bbe@Leviticus:25:1 @And the Lord said to Moses on Mount Sinai,

bbe@Leviticus:25:2 @Say to the children of Israel, When you come into the land which I will give you, let the land keep a Sabbath to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:25:3 @For six years put seed into your land, and for six years give care to your vines and get in the produce of them;

bbe@Leviticus:25:4 @But let the seventh year be a Sabbath of rest for the land, a Sabbath to the Lord; do not put seed into your land or have your vines cut.

bbe@Leviticus:25:5 @That which comes to growth of itself may not be cut, and the grapes of your uncared-for vines may not be taken off; let it be a year of rest for the land.

bbe@Leviticus:25:6 @And the Sabbath of the land will give food for you and your man-servant and your woman-servant and those working for payment, and for those of another country who are living among you;

bbe@Leviticus:25:7 @And for your cattle and the beasts on the land; all the natural increase of the land will be for food.

bbe@Leviticus:25:8 @And let seven Sabbaths of years be numbered to you, seven times seven years; even the days of seven Sabbaths of years, that is forty-nine years;

bbe@Leviticus:25:9 @Then let the loud horn be sounded far and wide on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the day of taking away sin let the horn be sounded through all your land

bbe@Leviticus:25:10 @And let this fiftieth year be kept holy, and say publicly that everyone in the land is free from debt: it is the Jubilee, and every man may go back to his heritage and to his family.

bbe@Leviticus:25:11 @Let this fiftieth year be the Jubilee: no seed may be planted, and that which comes to growth of itself may not be cut, and the grapes may not be taken from the uncared-for vines.

bbe@Leviticus:25:12 @For it is the Jubilee, and it is holy to you; your food will be the natural increase of the field.

bbe@Leviticus:25:13 @In this year of Jubilee, let every man go back to his heritage.

bbe@Leviticus:25:14 @And in the business of trading goods for money, do no wrong to one another.

bbe@Leviticus:25:15 @Let your exchange of goods with your neighbours have relation to the number of years after the year of Jubilee, and the number of times the earth has given her produce.

bbe@Leviticus:25:16 @If the number of years is great, the price will be increased, and if the number of years is small, the price will be less, for it is the produce of a certain number of years which the man is giving you.

bbe@Leviticus:25:17 @And do no wrong, one to another, but let the fear of your God be before you; for I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Leviticus:25:18 @So keep my rules and my decisions and do them, and you will be safe in your land.

bbe@Leviticus:25:19 @And the land will give her fruit, and you will have food in full measure and be safe in the land.

bbe@Leviticus:25:20 @And if you say, Where will our food come from in the seventh year, when we may not put in seed, or get in the increase

bbe@Leviticus:25:21 @Then I will send my blessing on you in the sixth year, and the land will give fruit enough for three years.

bbe@Leviticus:25:22 @And in the eighth year you will put in your seed, and get your food from the old stores, till the fruit of the ninth year is ready.

bbe@Leviticus:25:23 @No exchange of land may be for ever, for the land is mine, and you are as my guests, living with me for a time.

bbe@Leviticus:25:24 @Wherever there is property in land, the owner is to have the right of getting it back.

bbe@Leviticus:25:25 @If your brother becomes poor, and has to give up some of his land for money, his nearest relation may come and get back that which his brother has given up.

bbe@Leviticus:25:26 @And if he has no one to get it back for him, and later he himself gets wealth and has enough money to get it back;

bbe@Leviticus:25:27 @Then let him take into account the years from the time when he gave it up, and make up the loss for the rest of the years to him who took it, and so get back his property.

bbe@Leviticus:25:28 @But if he is not able to get it back for himself, then it will be kept by him who gave a price for it, till the year of Jubilee; and in that year it will go back to its first owner and he will have his property again.

bbe@Leviticus:25:29 @And if a man gives his house in a walled town for money, he has the right to get it back for the space of a full year after he has given it up.

bbe@Leviticus:25:30 @And if he does not get it back by the end of the year, then the house in the town will become the property of him who gave the money for it, and of his children for ever; it will not go from him in the year of Jubilee.

bbe@Leviticus:25:31 @But houses in small unwalled towns will be the same as property in the country; they may be got back, and they will go back to their owners in the year of Jubilee.

bbe@Leviticus:25:32 @But the houses in the towns of the Levites may be got back by the Levites at any time.

bbe@Leviticus:25:33 @And if a Levite does not give money to get back his property, his house in the town which was exchanged for money will come back to him in the year of Jubilee. For the houses of the towns of the Levites are their property among the children of Israel.

bbe@Leviticus:25:34 @But the land on the outskirts of their towns may not be exchanged for money, for it is their property for ever.

bbe@Leviticus:25:35 @And if your brother becomes poor and is not able to make a living, then you are to keep him with you, helping him as you would a man from another country who is living among you.

bbe@Leviticus:25:36 @Take no interest from him, in money or in goods, but have the fear of your God before you, and let your brother make a living among you.

bbe@Leviticus:25:37 @Do not take interest on the money which you let him have or on the food which you give him.

bbe@Leviticus:25:38 @I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan, that I might be your God.

bbe@Leviticus:25:39 @And if your brother becomes poor and gives himself to you for money, do not make use of him like a servant who is your property;

bbe@Leviticus:25:40 @But let him be with you as a servant working for payment, till the year of Jubilee;

bbe@Leviticus:25:41 @Then he will go out from you, he and his children with him, and go back to his family and to the property of his fathers.

bbe@Leviticus:25:42 @For they are my servants whom I took out from the land of Egypt; they may not become the property of another.

bbe@Leviticus:25:43 @Do not be a hard master to him, but have the fear of God before you.

bbe@Leviticus:25:44 @But you may get servants as property from among the nations round about; from them you may take men-servants and women-servants.

bbe@Leviticus:25:45 @And in addition, you may get, for money, servants from among the children of other nations who are living with you, and from their families which have come to birth in your land; and these will be your property.

bbe@Leviticus:25:46 @And they will be your children's heritage after you, to keep as their property; they will be your servants for ever; but you may not be hard masters to your countrymen, the children of Israel.

bbe@Leviticus:25:47 @And if one from another nation living among you gets wealth, and your countryman, at his side, becomes poor and gives himself for money to the man from another nation or to one of his family;

bbe@Leviticus:25:48 @After he has given himself he has the right to be made free, for a price, by one of his brothers,

bbe@Leviticus:25:49 @Or his father's brother, or the son of his father's brother, or any near relation; or if he gets money, he may make himself free.

bbe@Leviticus:25:50 @And let the years be numbered from the time when he gave himself to his owner till the year of Jubilee, and the price given for him will be in relation to the number of years, on the scale of the payment of a servant.

bbe@Leviticus:25:51 @If there is still a long time, he will give back, on account of it, a part of the price which was given for him.

bbe@Leviticus:25:52 @And if there is only a short time, he will take account of it with his master, and in relation to the number of years he will give back the price of making him free.

bbe@Leviticus:25:53 @And he will be with him as a servant working for payment year by year; his master is not to be cruel to him before your eyes.

bbe@Leviticus:25:54 @And if he is not made free in this way, he will go out in the year of Jubilee, he and his children with him.

bbe@Leviticus:25:55 @For the children of Israel are servants to me; they are my servants whom I took out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Leviticus:26:1 @Do not make images of false gods, or put up an image cut in stone or a pillar or any pictured stone in your land, to give worship to it; for I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Leviticus:26:2 @Keep my Sabbaths and give honour to my holy place: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:26:3 @If you are guided by my rules, and keep my laws and do them,

bbe@Leviticus:26:4 @Then I will give you rain at the right time, and the land will give her increase and the trees of the field will give their fruit;

bbe@Leviticus:26:5 @And the crushing of the grain will overtake the cutting of the grapes, and the cutting of the grapes will overtake the planting of the seed, and there will be bread in full measure, and you will be living in your land safely.

bbe@Leviticus:26:6 @And I will give you peace in the land, and you will take your rest and no one will give you cause for fear; and I will put an end to all evil beasts in the land, and no sword of war will go through your land.

bbe@Leviticus:26:7 @And you will put to flight those who are against you, and they will be put to death by your swords.

bbe@Leviticus:26:8 @Then five of you will put to flight a hundred, and a hundred of you will put to flight ten thousand, and all who are against you will be put to death by your swords.

bbe@Leviticus:26:9 @And I will have pleasure in you and make you fertile and greater in number; and I will keep my agreement with you.

bbe@Leviticus:26:10 @And old stores long kept will be your food, and you will take out the old because of the new;

bbe@Leviticus:26:11 @And I will put my holy House among you, and my soul will not be turned away from you in disgust

bbe@Leviticus:26:12 @And I will be present among you and will be your God and you will be my people.

bbe@Leviticus:26:13 @I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt so that you might not be servants to them; by me the cords of your yoke were broken and I made you go upright.

bbe@Leviticus:26:14 @But if you do not give ear to me, and do not keep all these my laws;

bbe@Leviticus:26:15 @And if you go against my rules and if you have hate in your souls for my decisions and you do not do all my orders, but go against my agreement;

bbe@Leviticus:26:16 @This will I do to you: I will put fear in your hearts, even wasting disease and burning pain, drying up the eyes and making the soul feeble, and you will get no profit from your seed, for your haters will take it for food.

bbe@Leviticus:26:17 @And my face will be turned from you, and you will be broken before those who are against you, and your haters will become your rulers, and you will go in flight when no man comes after you.

bbe@Leviticus:26:18 @And if, even after these things, you will not give ear to me, then I will send you punishment seven times more for your sins.

bbe@Leviticus:26:19 @And the pride of your strength will be broken, and I will make your heaven as iron and your earth as brass;

bbe@Leviticus:26:20 @And your strength will be used up without profit; for your land will not give her increase and the trees of the field will not give their fruit.

bbe@Leviticus:26:21 @And if you still go against me and will not give ear to me, I will put seven times more punishments on you because of your sins.

bbe@Leviticus:26:22 @I will let loose the beasts of the field among you, and they will take away your children and send destruction on your cattle, so that your numbers will become small and your roads become waste.

bbe@Leviticus:26:23 @And if by these things you will not be turned to me, but still go against me;

bbe@Leviticus:26:24 @Then I will go against you, and I will give you punishment, I myself, seven times for all your sins.

bbe@Leviticus:26:25 @And I will send a sword on you to give effect to the punishment of my agreement; and when you come together into your towns I will send disease among you and you will be given up into the hands of your haters.

bbe@Leviticus:26:26 @When I take away your bread of life, ten women will be cooking bread in one oven, and your bread will be measured out by weight; you will have food but never enough.

bbe@Leviticus:26:27 @And if, after all this, you do not give ear to me, but go against me still,

bbe@Leviticus:26:28 @Then my wrath will be burning against you, and I will give you punishment, I myself, seven times for your sins.

bbe@Leviticus:26:29 @Then you will take the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters for food;

bbe@Leviticus:26:30 @And I will send destruction on your high places, overturning your perfume altars, and will put your dead bodies on your broken images, and my soul will be turned from you in disgust.

bbe@Leviticus:26:31 @And I will make your towns waste and send destruction on your holy places; I will take no pleasure in the smell of your sweet perfumes;

bbe@Leviticus:26:32 @And I will make your land a waste, a wonder to your haters living in it.

bbe@Leviticus:26:33 @And I will send you out in all directions among the nations, and my sword will be uncovered against you, and your land will be without any living thing, and your towns will be made waste.

bbe@Leviticus:26:34 @Then will the land take pleasure in its Sabbaths while it is waste and you are living in the land of your haters; then will the land have rest.

bbe@Leviticus:26:35 @All the days while it is waste will the land have rest, such rest as it never had in your Sabbaths, when you were living in it.

bbe@Leviticus:26:36 @And as for the rest of you, I will make their hearts feeble in the land of their haters, and the sound of a leaf moved by the wind will send them in flight, and they will go in flight as from the sword, falling down when no one comes after them;

bbe@Leviticus:26:37 @Falling on one another, as before the sword, when no one comes after them; you will give way before your haters.

bbe@Leviticus:26:38 @And death will overtake you among strange nations, and the land of your haters will be your destruction.

bbe@Leviticus:26:39 @And those of you who are still living will be wasting away in their sins in the land of your haters; in the sins of their fathers they will be wasting away.

bbe@Leviticus:26:40 @And they will have grief for their sins and for the sins of their fathers, when their hearts were untrue to me, and they went against me;

bbe@Leviticus:26:41 @So that I went against them and sent them away into the land of their haters: if then the pride of their hearts is broken and they take the punishment of their sins,

bbe@Leviticus:26:42 @Then I will keep in mind the agreement which I made with Jacob and with Isaac and with Abraham, and I will keep in mind the land.

bbe@Leviticus:26:43 @And the land, while she is without them, will keep her Sabbaths; and they will undergo the punishment of their sins, because they were turned away from my decisions and in their souls was hate for my laws.

bbe@Leviticus:26:44 @But for all that, when they are in the land of their haters I will not let them go, or be turned away from them, or give them up completely; my agreement with them will not be broken, for I am the Lord their God.

bbe@Leviticus:26:45 @And because of them I will keep in mind the agreement which I made with their fathers, whom I took out of the land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations, to be their God: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:26:46 @These are the rules, decisions, and laws, which the Lord made between himself and the children of Israel in Mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.

bbe@Leviticus:27:1 @And the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Leviticus:27:2 @Say to the children of Israel, If a man makes a special oath, you will give your decision as to the value of the persons for the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:27:3 @And you will put the value of a male from twenty years to sixty years old at fifty shekels of silver, by the scale of the holy place.

bbe@Leviticus:27:4 @And if it is a female, the value will be thirty shekels.

bbe@Leviticus:27:5 @And if the person is from five to twenty years old, the value will be twenty shekels for a male, and ten for a female.

bbe@Leviticus:27:6 @And if the person is from one month to five years old, then the value for a male will be five shekels of silver, and for a female three shekels.

bbe@Leviticus:27:7 @And for sixty years old and over, for a male the value will be fifteen shekels, and for a female, ten.

bbe@Leviticus:27:8 @But if he is poorer than the value which you have put on him, then let him be taken to the priest, and the priest will put a value on him, such as it is possible for him to give.

bbe@Leviticus:27:9 @And if it is a beast of which men make offerings to the Lord, whatever any man gives of such to the Lord will be holy.

bbe@Leviticus:27:10 @It may not be changed in any way, a good given for a bad, or a bad for a good; if one beast is changed for another, the two will be holy.

bbe@Leviticus:27:11 @And if it is any unclean beast, of which offerings are not made to the Lord, then let him take the beast before the priest;

bbe@Leviticus:27:12 @And let the priest put a value on it, if it is good or bad; whatever value the priest puts on it, so will it be.

bbe@Leviticus:27:13 @But if he has a desire to get it back for himself, let him give a fifth more than your value

bbe@Leviticus:27:14 @And if a man has given his house as holy to the Lord, then the priest will put a value on it, if it is good or bad; as the priest gives decision so will the value be fixed.

bbe@Leviticus:27:15 @And if the owner has a desire to get back his house, let him give a fifth more than your value, and it will be his.

bbe@Leviticus:27:16 @And if a man gives to the Lord part of the field which is his property, then let your value be in relation to the seed which is planted in it; a measure of barley grain will be valued at fifty shekels of silver.

bbe@Leviticus:27:17 @If he gives his field from the year of Jubilee, the value will be fixed by your decision.

bbe@Leviticus:27:18 @But if he gives his field after the year of Jubilee, the amount of the money will be worked out by the priest in relation to the number of years till the coming year of Jubilee, and the necessary amount will be taken off your value.

bbe@Leviticus:27:19 @And if the man who has given the field has a desire to get it back, let him give a fifth more than the price at which it was valued and it will be his.

bbe@Leviticus:27:20 @But if he has no desire to get it back, or if he has given it for a price to another man, it may not be got back again.

bbe@Leviticus:27:21 @But the field, when it becomes free at the year of Jubilee, will be holy to the Lord, as a field given under oath: it will be the property of the priest.

bbe@Leviticus:27:22 @And if a man gives to the Lord a field which he has got for money from another, which is not part of his heritage;

bbe@Leviticus:27:23 @Then the value fixed by you up to the year of Jubilee will be worked out for him by the priest, and in that day he will give the amount of your value as holy to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:27:24 @In the year of Jubilee the field will go back to him from whom he got it, that is, to him whose heritage it was.

bbe@Leviticus:27:25 @And let all your values be based on the shekel of the holy place, that is, twenty gerahs to the shekel.

bbe@Leviticus:27:26 @But a man may not give by oath to the Lord the first-fruits of cattle which are offered to the Lord: if it is an ox or a sheep it is the Lord's.

bbe@Leviticus:27:27 @And if it is an unclean beast, then the owner of it may give money to get it back, in agreement with the value fixed by you, by giving a fifth more; or if it is not taken back, let it be given for money in agreement with your valuing.

bbe@Leviticus:27:28 @But nothing which a man has given completely to the Lord, out of all his property, of man or beast, or of the land which is his heritage, may be given away or got back in exchange for money; anything completely given is most holy to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:27:29 @Any man given completely to the Lord may not be got back: he is certainly to be put to death.

bbe@Leviticus:27:30 @And every tenth part of the land, of the seed planted, or of the fruit of trees, is holy to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:27:31 @And if a man has a desire to get back any of the tenth part which he has given, let him give a fifth more.

bbe@Leviticus:27:32 @And a tenth part of the herd and of the flock, whatever goes under the rod of the valuer, will be holy to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:27:33 @He may not make search to see if it is good or bad, or make any changes in it; and if he makes exchange of it for another, the two will be holy; he will not get them back again.

bbe@Leviticus:27:34 @These are the orders which the Lord gave to Moses for the children of Israel in Mount Sinai.

bbe@Numbers:1:47 @But the Levites, of the tribe of their fathers, were not numbered among them.

bbe@Numbers:1:50 @But to them you are to give the care of the Tent of meeting with its vessels and everything in it: they are to take up the Tent, and be responsible for everything to do with it, and put up their tents round it.

bbe@Numbers:1:51 @And when the Tent of meeting goes forward, the Levites are to take it down; and when it is to be put up, they are to do it: any strange person who comes near it is to be put to death.

bbe@Numbers:1:53 @But the tents of the Levites are to be round the Tent of meeting, so that wrath may not come on the children of Israel: the Tent of meeting is to be in the care of the Levites.

bbe@Numbers:2:3 @Those whose tents are on the east side, looking to the dawn, will be round the flag of the children of Judah, with Nahshon, the son of Amminadab, as their chief.

bbe@Numbers:2:5 @And nearest to him will be the tribe of Issachar, with Nethanel, the son of Zuar, as their chief.

bbe@Numbers:2:7 @After him, the tribe of Zebulun, with Eliab, the son of Helon, as their chief.

bbe@Numbers:2:10 @On the south side is the flag of the children of Reuben, in the order of their armies, with Elizur, the son of Shedeur, as their chief.

bbe@Numbers:2:12 @And nearest to him, the tribe of Simeon, with Shelumiel, the son of Zurishaddai, as their chief.

bbe@Numbers:2:14 @Then the tribe of Gad, with Eliasaph, son of Reuel, as their chief.

bbe@Numbers:2:17 @Then the Tent of meeting is to go forward, with the tents of the Levites, in the middle of the armies; in the same order as their tents are placed, they are to go forward, every man under his flag.

bbe@Numbers:2:18 @On the west side will be the flag of the children of Ephraim, with Elishama, the son of Ammihud, as their chief.

bbe@Numbers:2:20 @And by him the tribe of Manasseh with Gamaliel, the son of Pedahzur, as their chief.

bbe@Numbers:2:22 @Then the tribe of Benjamin, with Abidan, the son of Gideoni, as their chief.

bbe@Numbers:2:25 @On the north side will be the flag of the children of Dan, with Ahiezer, the son of Ammishaddai, as their chief.

bbe@Numbers:2:27 @Nearest to him will be the tribe of Asher, with Pagiel, the son of Ochran, as their chief.

bbe@Numbers:2:29 @Then the tribe of Naphtali, with Ahira, the son of Enan, as their chief.

bbe@Numbers:2:33 @But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel, as the Lord said to Moses.

bbe@Numbers:3:2 @These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the oldest, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

bbe@Numbers:3:4 @And Nadab and Abihu were put to death before the Lord when they made an offering of strange fire before the Lord, in the waste land of Sinai, and they had no children: and Eleazar and Ithamar did the work of priests before Aaron their father.

bbe@Numbers:3:9 @Give the Levites to Aaron and his sons; so that they may be his without question from among the children of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:3:12 @See, I have taken the Levites out of the children of Israel to be mine in place of the first sons of the children of Israel;

bbe@Numbers:3:20 @And the sons of Merari by their families: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites in the order of their fathers' houses.

bbe@Numbers:3:21 @From Gershon come the Libnites and the Shimeites; these are the families of the Gershonites.

bbe@Numbers:3:23 @The tents of the Gershonites are to be placed at the back of the House, to the west.

bbe@Numbers:3:24 @The chief of the Gershonites is Eliasaph, the son of Lael.

bbe@Numbers:3:25 @In the Tent of meeting, the Gershonites are to have the care of the House, and the Tent with its cover, and the veil for the door of the Tent of meeting,

bbe@Numbers:3:26 @And the hangings for the open space round the House and the altar, and the curtain for its doorway, and all the cords needed for its use.

bbe@Numbers:3:27 @From Kohath come the Amramites and the Izharites and the Hebronites and the Uzzielites; these are the families of the Kohathites.

bbe@Numbers:3:29 @The tents of the Kohathites are to be placed on the south side of the House.

bbe@Numbers:3:32 @Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, will be head over all the Levites and overseer of those responsible for the care of the holy place.

bbe@Numbers:3:33 @From Merari come the Mahlites and the Mushites; these are the families of Merari.

bbe@Numbers:3:36 @And in their care are to be all the boards of the Tent, with their rods and pillars and bases, and all the instruments, and all they are used for,

bbe@Numbers:3:37 @And the pillars of the open space round it, with their bases and nails and cords.

bbe@Numbers:3:39 @All the Levites numbered by Moses and Aaron at the order of the Lord, all the males of one month old and over numbered in the order of their families, were twenty-two thousand.

bbe@Numbers:3:41 @And give to me the Levites (I am the Lord) in place of the first sons of the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites in place of the first births among the cattle of the children of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:3:45 @Take the Levites in place of all the first sons of the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites in place of their cattle; the Levites are to be mine; I am the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:3:46 @And the price you have to give for the two hundred and seventy-three first sons of the children of Israel which are in addition to the number of the Levites,

bbe@Numbers:3:48 @And this money, the price of those over the number of the Levites, is to be given to Aaron and his sons.

bbe@Numbers:3:49 @So Moses took the money, the price of those whose place had not been taken by the Levites;

bbe@Numbers:3:50 @From the first sons of Israel he took it, a thousand, three hundred and sixty-five shekels, by the scale of the holy place;

bbe@Numbers:4:4 @And this is to be the work of the sons of Kohath in connection with the most holy things.

bbe@Numbers:4:5 @When all the people go forward, Aaron is to go in with his sons, and take down the veil of the curtain, covering the ark of witness with it;

bbe@Numbers:4:6 @And putting over it the leather cover and over that a blue cloth; and putting its rods in place.

bbe@Numbers:4:7 @And on the table of the holy bread they are to put a blue cloth, and on it all the vessels, the spoons and the basins and the cups; and the holy bread with them;

bbe@Numbers:4:8 @And over them they are to put a red cloth, covering it with a leather cover, and putting its rods in their places.

bbe@Numbers:4:9 @And they are to take a blue cloth, covering with it the light-support with its lights and its instruments and its trays and all the oil vessels which are used for it:

bbe@Numbers:4:10 @All these they are to put in a leather cover, and put it on the frame

bbe@Numbers:4:11 @On the gold altar they are to put a blue cloth, covering it with a leather cover; and they are to put its rods in their places.

bbe@Numbers:4:12 @All the vessels which are used in the holy place they are to put in a blue cloth, covering them with a leather cover, and put them on the frame.

bbe@Numbers:4:13 @And they are to take away the burned waste from the altar, and put a purple cloth on it;

bbe@Numbers:4:14 @Placing on the cloth all its vessels, the fire-baskets, the meat-hooks, the spades, and the basins; all the vessels of the altar; they are to put a leather cover over all these, and put its rods in their places.

bbe@Numbers:4:15 @And after the holy place and all its vessels have been covered up by Aaron and his sons, when the tents of the people go forward, the sons of Kohath are to come and take it up; but the holy things may not be touched by them for fear of death.

bbe@Numbers:4:16 @And Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, is to be responsible for the oil for the light, and the sweet perfumes for burning, and the regular meal offering, and the holy oil; the House and the holy place and everything in it will be in his care.

bbe@Numbers:4:18 @Do not let the family of the Kohathites be cut off from among the Levites;

bbe@Numbers:4:24 @This is to be the work of the Gershonites, the things they are to do and take up.

bbe@Numbers:4:25 @They are to take up the curtains of the House, and the Tent of meeting with its cover and the leather cover over it, and the hangings for the door of the Tent of meeting;

bbe@Numbers:4:26 @And the hangings for the open space round the House and the altar, and the curtain for its doorway, with the cords and all the things used for them; whatever is necessary for these, they are to do.

bbe@Numbers:4:27 @From the mouth of Aaron and his sons the Gershonites will have word about all the things they are to do and take up; you are to give them their orders.

bbe@Numbers:4:28 @This is the work of the family of the Gershonites in the Tent of meeting, and they will be under the direction of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.

bbe@Numbers:4:31 @And this is their part in the work of the Tent of meeting: the transport of the boards and the rods of the Tent, with the pillars and their bases;

bbe@Numbers:4:32 @And the pillars of the open space outside it, with their bases and their nails and cords and all the instruments used, and everything which has to be done there; all the instruments for which they are responsible are to be numbered by name.

bbe@Numbers:4:33 @This is the work which the sons of Merari are to do in connection with the Tent of meeting, under the direction of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.

bbe@Numbers:4:34 @So Moses and Aaron and the chiefs of the people took in hand the numbering of the sons of the Kohathites, by families, in the order of their fathers' houses;

bbe@Numbers:4:37 @This is the number of those of the Kohathites who did the work in the Tent of meeting, as they were numbered by Moses and Aaron at the order of the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:4:46 @And all the Levites who were numbered by Moses and Aaron and the chiefs of the people, by families, in the order of their fathers' houses,

bbe@Numbers:4:47 @Those from thirty to fifty years old who were able to do the work of the Tent of meeting and of its transport,

bbe@Numbers:5:7 @Let them say openly what they have done; and make payment for the wrong done, with the addition of a fifth part, and give it to him to whom the wrong was done.

bbe@Numbers:5:8 @But if the man has no relation to whom the payment may be made, then the payment for sin made to the Lord will be the priest's, in addition to the sheep offered to take away his sin.

bbe@Numbers:5:13 @By taking as her lover another man, and keeps it secret so that her husband has no knowledge of it, and there is no witness against her, and she is not taken in the act;

bbe@Numbers:5:14 @If the spirit of doubt comes into her husband's heart, and he has doubts of his wife, with good cause; or if he has doubts of her without cause:

bbe@Numbers:5:15 @Then let him take her to the priest, offering for her the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal, without oil or perfume; for it is a meal offering of a bitter spirit, a meal offering keeping wrongdoing in mind.

bbe@Numbers:5:17 @And the priest will take holy water in a pot and put in it dust from the floor of the House;

bbe@Numbers:5:18 @And he will make the woman come before the Lord with her hair loose, and will put the meal offering, the offering of a bitter spirit, in her hands; and the priest will take in his hand the bitter water causing the curse;

bbe@Numbers:5:19 @And he will make her take an oath, and say to her, If no man has been your lover and you have not been with another in place of your husband, you are free from this bitter water causing the curse;

bbe@Numbers:5:20 @But if you have been with another in place of your husband and have made yourself unclean with a lover:

bbe@Numbers:5:22 @And this water of the curse will go into your body, causing disease of your stomach and wasting of your legs: and the woman will say, So be it.

bbe@Numbers:5:23 @And the priest will put these curses in a book, washing out the writing with the bitter water;

bbe@Numbers:5:24 @And he will give to the woman the bitter water for drink; and the bitter water causing the curse will go into her.

bbe@Numbers:5:25 @And the priest will take from her hand the meal offering of doubt, waving it before the Lord, and will take it to the altar;

bbe@Numbers:5:26 @And he will take some of it in his hand, burning it on the altar as a sign, and then he will give the woman the bitter water.

bbe@Numbers:5:27 @And it will be that if the woman has become unclean, sinning against her husband, when she has taken the bitter water it will go into her body, causing disease of the stomach and wasting of the legs, and she will be a curse among her people.

bbe@Numbers:5:29 @This is the law for testing a wife who goes with another in place of her husband and becomes unclean;

bbe@Numbers:5:30 @Or for a husband who, in a bitter spirit, has doubts in his heart about his wife; let him take her to the priest, who will put in force this law.

bbe@Numbers:6:4 @All the time he is separate he may take nothing made from the grape-vine, from its seeds to its skin.

bbe@Numbers:6:14 @And make his offering to the Lord; one he-lamb of the first year, without a mark, for a burned offering, and one female lamb of the first year, without a mark, for a sin-offering, and one male sheep, without a mark, for peace-offerings,

bbe@Numbers:6:15 @And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of the best meal mixed with oil, and thin unleavened cakes covered with oil, with their meal offering and drink offerings.

bbe@Numbers:6:17 @Giving the sheep of the peace-offerings, with the basket of unleavened bread; and at the same time, the priest will make his meal offering and his drink offering.

bbe@Numbers:6:18 @Then let his long hair, the sign of his oath, be cut off at the door of the Tent of meeting, and let him put it on the fire on which the peace-offerings are burning.

bbe@Numbers:6:20 @Waving them for a wave offering before the Lord; this is holy for the priest, together with the waved breast and the leg which is lifted up; after that, the man may take wine.

bbe@Numbers:6:21 @This is the law for him who takes an oath to keep himself separate, and for his offering to the Lord on that account, in addition to what he may be able to get; this is the law of his oath, which he will have to keep.

bbe@Numbers:7:1 @And when Moses had put up the House completely, and had put oil on it and made it holy, with all the things in it, and had made the altar and all its vessels holy with oil;

bbe@Numbers:7:3 @And they came with their offerings before the Lord, six covered carts and twelve oxen; a cart for every two of the chiefs, and for every one an ox.

bbe@Numbers:7:5 @Take the things from them, to be used for the work of the Tent of meeting; and give them to the Levites, to every man what is needed for his work.

bbe@Numbers:7:6 @So Moses took the carts and the oxen and gave them to the Levites.

bbe@Numbers:7:8 @And four carts and eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari for their work, under the direction of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.

bbe@Numbers:7:9 @But to the sons of Kohath he gave nothing; because they had the care of the holy place, taking it about on their backs.

bbe@Numbers:7:10 @And the chiefs gave an offering for the altar on the day when the holy oil was put on it; they made their offering before the altar.

bbe@Numbers:7:13 @And his offering was one silver plate, a hundred and thirty shekels in weight, one silver basin of seventy shekels, by the scale of the holy place; the two of them full of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering;

bbe@Numbers:7:19 @He gave one silver plate, a hundred and thirty shekels in weight, one silver basin of seventy shekels, by the scale of the holy place; the two of them full of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering;

bbe@Numbers:7:25 @His offering was one silver plate, a hundred and thirty shekels in weight, one silver basin of seventy shekels, by the scale of the holy place; the two of them full of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering;

bbe@Numbers:7:31 @His offering was one silver plate, a hundred and thirty shekels in weight, one silver basin of seventy shekels, by the scale of the holy place; the two of them full of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering;

bbe@Numbers:7:37 @His offering was one silver plate, a hundred and thirty shekels in weight, one silver basin of seventy shekels, by the scale of the holy place; the two of them full of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering;

bbe@Numbers:7:43 @His offering was one silver plate, a hundred and thirty shekels in weight, one silver basin of seventy shekels, by the scale of the holy place; the two of them full of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering;

bbe@Numbers:7:49 @His offering was one silver plate, a hundred and thirty shekels in weight, one silver basin of seventy shekels, by the scale of the holy place; the two of them full of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering;

bbe@Numbers:7:55 @His offering was one silver plate, a hundred and thirty shekels in weight, one silver basin of seventy shekels, by the scale of the holy place; the two of them full of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering;

bbe@Numbers:7:61 @His offering was one silver plate, a hundred and thirty shekels in weight, one silver basin of seventy shekels, by the scale of the holy place; the two of them full of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering;

bbe@Numbers:7:67 @His offering was one silver plate, a hundred and thirty shekels in weight, one silver basin of seventy shekels, by the scale of the holy place; the two of them full of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering;

bbe@Numbers:7:73 @His offering was one silver plate; a hundred and thirty shekels in weight, one silver basin of seventy shekels, by the scale of the holy place; the two of them full of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering;

bbe@Numbers:7:79 @His offering was one silver plate, a hundred and thirty shekels in weight, one silver basin of seventy shekels, by the scale of the holy place; the two of them full of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering;

bbe@Numbers:7:84 @These were the offerings given for the altar by the chiefs of Israel, when the holy oil was put on it: twelve silver plates, twelve silver basins, twelve gold spoons;

bbe@Numbers:7:87 @All the oxen, for the burned offering were twelve, the male sheep twelve, the he-lambs of the first year twelve, with their meal offering; and the males of the goats for sin-offering twelve;

bbe@Numbers:7:88 @And all the oxen for the peace-offerings, twenty-four oxen, the male sheep sixty, and the he-goats sixty, the he-lambs of the first year sixty. This was given for the altar after the holy oil was put on it.

bbe@Numbers:7:89 @And when Moses went into the Tent of meeting to have talk with him, then the Voice came to his ears from over the cover which was on the ark of witness, from between the two winged ones. And he had talk with him.

bbe@Numbers:8:4 @The support for the lights was of hammered gold work, from its base to its flowers it was of hammered work; from the design which the Lord had given to Moses, he made the support for the lights.

bbe@Numbers:8:6 @Take the Levites out from among the children of Israel and make them clean.

bbe@Numbers:8:7 @And this is how you are to make them clean: let the holy water which takes away sin be put on them, and let the hair all over their bodies be cut off with a sharp blade, and let their clothing be washed and their bodies made clean.

bbe@Numbers:8:8 @Then let them take a young ox and its meal offering, crushed grain mixed with oil, and take another ox for a sin-offering.

bbe@Numbers:8:9 @And make the Levites come forward in front of the Tent of meeting, and let all the children of Israel come together:

bbe@Numbers:8:10 @And you are to take the Levites before the Lord: and the children of Israel are to put their hands on them:

bbe@Numbers:8:11 @And Aaron is to give the Levites to the Lord as a wave offering from the children of Israel, so that they may do the Lord's work.

bbe@Numbers:8:12 @And the Levites are to put their hands on the heads of the oxen, and one of the oxen is to be offered for a sin-offering and the other for a burned offering to the Lord to take away the sin of the Levites.

bbe@Numbers:8:13 @Then the Levites are to be put before Aaron and his sons, to be offered as a wave offering to the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:8:14 @So you are to make the Levites separate from the children of Israel, and the Levites will be mine.

bbe@Numbers:8:15 @After that, the Levites will go in to do whatever has to be done in the Tent of meeting; you are to make them clean and give them as a wave offering.

bbe@Numbers:8:18 @And in place of the first sons among the children of Israel, I have taken the Levites

bbe@Numbers:8:20 @All these things Moses and Aaron and the children of Israel did to the Levites; as the Lord gave orders to Moses about the Levites, so the children of Israel did.

bbe@Numbers:8:21 @And the Levites were made clean from sin, and their clothing was washed, and Aaron gave them for a wave offering before the Lord; and Aaron took away their sin and made them clean.

bbe@Numbers:8:22 @And then the Levites went in to do their work in the Tent of meeting before Aaron and his sons: all the orders which the Lord had given Moses about the Levites were put into effect.

bbe@Numbers:8:24 @This is the rule for the Levites: those of twenty-five years old and over are to go in and do the work of the Tent of meeting;

bbe@Numbers:8:26 @But be with their brothers in the Tent of meeting, taking care of it but doing no work. This is what you are to do in connection with the Levites and their work.

bbe@Numbers:9:2 @Let the children of Israel keep the Passover at its regular time.

bbe@Numbers:9:3 @In the fourteenth day of this month, at evening, you are to keep it at the regular time, and in the way ordered in the law.

bbe@Numbers:9:11 @In the second month, on the fourteenth day, in the evening, they are to keep it, taking it with unleavened bread and bitter-tasting plants;

bbe@Numbers:9:12 @Nothing of it is to be kept till the morning, and no bone of it is to be broken: they are to keep it by the rules of the Passover.

bbe@Numbers:9:15 @And on the day when the House was put up, the cloud came down on it, on the Tent of witness; and in the evening there was a light like fire over the House till the morning.

bbe@Numbers:9:16 @And so it was at all times: it was covered by the cloud, and by a light as of fire by night.

bbe@Numbers:9:19 @When the cloud was resting on the House for a long time the children of Israel, waiting for the order of the Lord, did not go on.

bbe@Numbers:9:21 @And sometimes the cloud was there only from evening to morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning they went on their journey again: or if it was resting there by day and by night, whenever the cloud was taken up they went forward.

bbe@Numbers:9:22 @Or if the cloud came to rest on the House for two days or a month or a year without moving, the children of Israel went on waiting there and did not go on; but whenever it was taken up they went forward on their journey.

bbe@Numbers:10:11 @Now in the second year, on the twentieth day of the second month, the cloud was taken up from over the Tent of witness.

bbe@Numbers:10:14 @First the flag of the children of Judah went forward with their armies: and at the head of his army was Nahshon, the son of Amminadab.

bbe@Numbers:10:18 @Then the flag of the children of Reuben went forward with their armies: and at the head of his army was Elizur, the son of Shedeur.

bbe@Numbers:10:21 @Then the Kohathites went forward with the holy place; the others put up the House ready for their coming.

bbe@Numbers:10:22 @Then the flag of the children of Ephraim went forward with their armies: and at the head of his army was Elishama, the son of Ammihud.

bbe@Numbers:10:25 @And the flag of the children of Dan, whose tents were moved last of all, went forward with their armies: and at the head of his army was Ahiezer, the son of Ammishaddai.

bbe@Numbers:10:29 @Then Moses said to Hobab, the son of his father-in-law Reuel the Midianite, We are journeying to that place of which the Lord has said, I will give it to you: so come with us, and it will be for your profit: for the Lord has good things in store for Israel.

bbe@Numbers:10:30 @But he said, I will not go with you, I will go back to the land of my birth and to my relations.

bbe@Numbers:10:32 @And if you come with us, we will give you a part in whatever good the Lord does for us.

bbe@Numbers:10:36 @And when it came to rest, he said, Take rest, O Lord, and give a blessing to the families of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:11:1 @Now the people were saying evil against the Lord; and the Lord, hearing it, was angry and sent fire on them, burning the outer parts of the tent-circle.

bbe@Numbers:11:4 @And the mixed band of people who went with them were overcome by desire: and the children of Israel, weeping again, said, Who will give us flesh for our food?

bbe@Numbers:11:5 @Sweet is the memory of the fish we had in Egypt for nothing, and the fruit and green plants of every sort, sharp and pleasing to the taste:

bbe@Numbers:11:8 @The people went about taking it up from the earth, crushing it between stones or hammering it to powder, and boiling it in pots, and they made cakes of it: its taste was like the taste of cakes cooked with oil.

bbe@Numbers:11:9 @When the dew came down on the tents at night, the manna came down with it.

bbe@Numbers:11:14 @I am not able by myself to take the weight of all this people, for it is more than my strength.

bbe@Numbers:11:16 @And the Lord said to Moses, Send for seventy of the responsible men of Israel, who are in your opinion men of weight and authority over the people; make them come to the Tent of meeting and be there with you.

bbe@Numbers:11:17 @And I will come down and have talk with you there: and I will take some of the spirit which is on you and put it on them, and they will take part of the weight of the people off you, so that you do not have to take it by yourself.

bbe@Numbers:11:18 @And say to the people, Make yourselves clean before tomorrow and you will have flesh for your food: for in the ears of the Lord you have been weeping and saying, Who will give us flesh for food? for we were well off in Egypt: and so the Lord will give you flesh, and it will be your food;

bbe@Numbers:11:20 @But every day for a month, till you are tired of it, turning from it in disgust: because you have gone against the Lord who is with you, and have been weeping before him saying, Why did we come out of Egypt?

bbe@Numbers:11:25 @Then the Lord came down in the cloud and had talk with him, and put on the seventy men some of the spirit which was on him: now when the spirit came to rest on them, they were like prophets, but only at that time.

bbe@Numbers:11:26 @But two men were still in the tent-circle one of them named Eldad and the other Medad: and the spirit came to rest on them; they were among those who had been sent for, but they had not gone out to the Tent: and the prophet's power came on them in the tent-circle.

bbe@Numbers:11:29 @And Moses said to him, Are you moved by envy on my account? If only all the Lord's people were prophets, and the Lord might put his spirit on them!

bbe@Numbers:11:30 @Then Moses, with the responsible men of Israel, went back to the tent-circle.

bbe@Numbers:11:31 @Then the Lord sent a wind, driving little birds from the sea, so that they came down on the tents, and all round the tent-circle, about a day's journey on this side and on that, in masses about two cubits high over the face of the earth.

bbe@Numbers:11:33 @But while the meat was still between their teeth, before it was tasted, the wrath of the Lord was moved against the people and he sent a great outburst of disease on them.

bbe@Numbers:12:1 @Now Miriam and Aaron said evil against Moses, because of the Cushite woman to whom he was married, for he had taken a Cushite woman as his wife.

bbe@Numbers:12:2 @And they said, Have the words of the Lord been given to Moses only? have they not come to us? And the Lord took note of it.

bbe@Numbers:12:8 @With him I will have talk mouth to mouth, openly and not in dark sayings; and with his eyes he will see the form of the Lord: why then had you no fear of saying evil against my servant Moses?

bbe@Numbers:12:9 @And burning with wrath against them, the Lord went away.

bbe@Numbers:12:10 @And the cloud was moved from over the Tent; and straight away Miriam became a leper, as white as snow: and Aaron, looking at Miriam, saw that she was a leper.

bbe@Numbers:13:18 @And see what the land is like; and if the people living in it are strong or feeble, small or great in number;

bbe@Numbers:13:19 @And what sort of land they are living in, if it is good or bad; and what their living-places are, tent-circles or walled towns;

bbe@Numbers:13:20 @And if the land is fertile or poor, and if there is wood in it or not. And be of good heart, and come back with some of the produce of the land. Now it was the time when the first grapes were ready.

bbe@Numbers:13:23 @And they came to the valley of Eshcol, and cutting down a vine-branch with its grapes, two of them took it on a rod between them; and they took some pomegranates and figs.

bbe@Numbers:13:27 @And they said, We came to the land where you sent us, and truly it is flowing with milk and honey: and here is some of the produce of it.

bbe@Numbers:13:29 @And the Amalekites are in the South; and the Hittites and the Jebusites and the Amorites are living in the hill-country; and the Canaanites by the sea and by the side of Jordan.

bbe@Numbers:13:30 @Then Caleb made signs to the people to keep quiet, and said to Moses, Let us go up straight away and take this land; for we are well able to overcome it.

bbe@Numbers:13:31 @But the men who had gone up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.

bbe@Numbers:13:32 @And they gave the children of Israel a bad account of the land they had been to see, saying, This land through which we went is a land causing destruction to those living in it; and all the people we saw there are men of more than common size.

bbe@Numbers:14:3 @Why is the Lord taking us into this land to come to our death by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will get into strange hands: would it not be better for us to go back to Egypt?

bbe@Numbers:14:8 @And if the Lord has delight in us, he will take us into this land and give it to us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

bbe@Numbers:14:9 @Only, do not go against the Lord or go in fear of the people of the land, for they will be our food; their strength has been taken from them and the Lord is with us: have no fear of them.

bbe@Numbers:14:11 @And the Lord said to Moses, How long will this people have no respect for me? how long will they be without faith, in the face of all the signs I have done among them?

bbe@Numbers:14:12 @I will send disease on them for their destruction, and take away their heritage, and I will make of you a nation greater and stronger than they.

bbe@Numbers:14:13 @And Moses said to the Lord, Then it will come to the ears of the Egyptians; for by your power you took this people out from among them;

bbe@Numbers:14:14 @And they will give the news to the people of this land: they have had word that you, Lord, are present with this people, letting yourself be seen face to face, and that your cloud is resting over them, and that you go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and in a pillar of fire by night.

bbe@Numbers:14:23 @They will not see the land about which I made an oath to their fathers; not one of these by whom I have not been honoured will see it.

bbe@Numbers:14:24 @But my servant Caleb, because he had a different spirit in him, and has been true to me with all his heart, him I will take into that land into which he went, and his seed will have it for their heritage.

bbe@Numbers:14:25 @Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites are in the valley; tomorrow, turning round, go into the waste land by the way to the Red Sea.

bbe@Numbers:14:27 @How long am I to put up with this evil people and their outcries against me? The words which they say against me have come to my ears.

bbe@Numbers:14:31 @And your little ones, whom you said would come into strange hands, I will take in, and they will see the land which you would not have.

bbe@Numbers:14:34 @And as you went through the land viewing it for forty days, so for forty years, a year for every day, you will undergo punishment for your wrongdoing, and you will see that I am against you.

bbe@Numbers:14:35 @I the Lord have said it, and this I will certainly do to all this evil people who have come together against me: in this waste land destruction will come on them, and death will be their fate.

bbe@Numbers:14:41 @And Moses said, Why are you now acting against the Lord's order, seeing that no good will come of it?

bbe@Numbers:14:42 @Go not up, for the Lord is not with you, and you will be overcome by those who are fighting against you.

bbe@Numbers:14:43 @For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and you will be put to death by their swords: because you have gone back from the way of the Lord, the Lord will not be with you.

bbe@Numbers:14:45 @Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites who were living in the hill-country, and overcame them completely, driving them back as far as Hormah.

bbe@Numbers:15:3 @And are going to make an offering by fire to the Lord, a burned offering or an offering in connection with an oath, or an offering freely given, or at your regular feasts, an offering for a sweet smell to the Lord, from the herd or the flock:

bbe@Numbers:15:4 @Then let him who is making his offering, give to the Lord a meal offering of a tenth part of a measure of the best meal mixed with a fourth part of a hin of oil:

bbe@Numbers:15:5 @And for the drink offering, you are to give with the burned offering or other offering, the fourth part of a hin of wine for every lamb.

bbe@Numbers:15:6 @Or for a male sheep, give as a meal offering two tenth parts of a measure of the best meal mixed with a third part of a hin of oil:

bbe@Numbers:15:9 @Then with the ox give a meal offering of three tenth parts of a measure of the best meal mixed with half a hin of oil.

bbe@Numbers:15:13 @All those who are Israelites by birth are to do these things in this way, when giving an offering made by fire of a sweet smell to the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:15:15 @There is to be one law for you and for the man of another country living with you, one law for ever from generation to generation; as you are, so is he to be before the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:15:16 @The law and the rule are to be the same for you and for those from other lands living with you.

bbe@Numbers:15:20 @Of the first of your rough meal you are to give a cake for a lifted offering, lifting it up before the Lord as the offering of the grain-floor is lifted up.

bbe@Numbers:15:24 @Then, if the wrong is done in error, without the knowledge of the meeting of the people, let all the meeting give a young ox as a burned offering, a sweet smell to the Lord, with its meal offering and its drink offering, as is ordered in the law, together with a he-goat for a sin-offering.

bbe@Numbers:15:25 @So the priest will make the people free from sin, and they will have forgiveness; for it was an error, and they have given their offering made by fire to the Lord, and their sin-offering before the Lord, on account of their error:

bbe@Numbers:15:26 @And all the meeting of the children of Israel, as well as those from other lands living among them, will have forgiveness; for it was an error on the part of the people.

bbe@Numbers:15:27 @And if one person does wrong, without being conscious of it, then let him give a she-goat of the first year for a sin-offering.

bbe@Numbers:15:29 @The law in connection with wrong done unconsciously is to be the same for him who is an Israelite by birth and for the man from another country who is living among them.

bbe@Numbers:15:30 @But the person who does wrong in the pride of his heart, if he is one of you or of another nation by birth, is acting without respect for the Lord, and will be cut off from his people.

bbe@Numbers:15:31 @Because he had no respect for the word of the Lord, and did not keep his law, that man will be cut off without mercy and his sin will be on him.

bbe@Numbers:15:34 @And they had him shut up, because they had no directions about what was to be done with him.

bbe@Numbers:16:1 @Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Pallu, the son of Reuben, made themselves ready,

bbe@Numbers:16:2 @And came before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty chiefs of the people, men of good name who had a place in the meeting of the people.

bbe@Numbers:16:3 @They came together against Moses and against Aaron, and said to them, You take overmuch on yourselves, seeing that all the people are holy, every one of them, and the Lord is among them; why then have you put yourselves in authority over the people of the Lord?

bbe@Numbers:16:9 @Does it seem only a small thing to you that the God of Israel has made you separate from the rest of Israel, letting you come near himself to do the work of the House of the Lord, and to take your place before the people to do what has to be done for them;

bbe@Numbers:16:13 @Is it not enough that you have taken us from a land flowing with milk and honey, to put us to death in the waste land, but now you are desiring to make yourself a chief over us?

bbe@Numbers:16:14 @And more than this, you have not taken us into a land flowing with milk and honey, or given us a heritage of fields and vine-gardens: will you put out the eyes of these men? We will not come up.

bbe@Numbers:16:17 @And let every man take a vessel for burning perfumes, and put sweet spices in them; let every man take his vessel before the Lord, two hundred and fifty vessels; you and Aaron and everyone with his vessel.

bbe@Numbers:16:18 @So every man took his vessel and they put fire in them, with spices, and came to the door of the Tent of meeting with Moses and Aaron.

bbe@Numbers:16:22 @Then falling down on their faces they said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, because of one man's sin will your wrath be moved against all the people?

bbe@Numbers:16:25 @So Moses got up and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the responsible men of Israel went with him.

bbe@Numbers:16:26 @And he said to the people, Come away now from the tents of these evil men, without touching anything of theirs, or you may be taken in the punishment of their sins.

bbe@Numbers:16:27 @So on every side they went away from the tent of Korah Dathan, and Abiram: and Dathan and Abiram came out to the door of their tents, with their wives and their sons and their little ones.

bbe@Numbers:16:30 @But if the Lord does something new, opening the earth to take them in, with everything which is theirs, and they go down living into the underworld, then it will be clear to you that the Lord has not been honoured by these men.

bbe@Numbers:16:32 @And the earth, opening her mouth, took them in, with their families, and all the men who were joined to Korah, and their goods.

bbe@Numbers:16:37 @Say to Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, that he is to take out of the flames the vessels with the perfumes in them, turning the fire out of them, for they are holy;

bbe@Numbers:16:38 @And let the vessels of those men, who with their lives have made payment for their sin, be hammered out into plates as a cover for the altar; for they have been offered before the Lord and are holy; so that they may be a sign to the children of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:16:42 @Now when the people had come together against Moses and Aaron, looking in the direction of the Tent of meeting, they saw the cloud covering it, and the glory of the Lord came before their eyes.

bbe@Numbers:16:46 @And Moses said to Aaron, Take your vessel and put in it fire from the altar, and sweet spices, and take it quickly into the meeting of the people, and make them free from sin: for wrath has gone out from the Lord, and the disease is starting.

bbe@Numbers:16:49 @Now fourteen thousand, seven hundred deaths were caused by that disease, in addition to those who came to their end because of what Korah had done.

bbe@Numbers:17:4 @And let them be stored up in the Tent of meeting, in front of the ark of witness where I come to you.

bbe@Numbers:17:5 @And the rod of that man who is marked out by me for myself will have buds on it; so I will put a stop to the outcries which the children of Israel make to me against you.

bbe@Numbers:17:7 @And Moses put the rods before the Lord in the Tent of witness.

bbe@Numbers:17:8 @Now on the day after, Moses went into the Tent of witness; and he saw that Aaron's rod, the rod of the house of Levi, had put out buds, and was covered with buds and flowers and fruit.

bbe@Numbers:17:10 @And the Lord said to Moses, Put Aaron's rod back in front of the ark of witness, to be kept for a sign against this false-hearted people, so that you may put a stop to their outcries against me, and death may not overtake them.

bbe@Numbers:18:2 @Let your brothers, the family of Levi, come near with you, so that they may be joined with you and be your servants: but you and your sons with you are to go in before the ark of witness.

bbe@Numbers:18:4 @They are to be joined with you in the care of the Tent of meeting, doing whatever is needed for the Tent: and no one of any other family may come near you.

bbe@Numbers:18:6 @Now, see, I have taken your brothers the Levites from among the children of Israel: they are given to you and to the Lord, to do the work of the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Numbers:18:7 @And you and your sons with you are to be responsible as priests for the altar and everything on it, and everything inside the veil; you are to do the work of priests; I have given you your position as priests; and any other man who comes near will be put to death.

bbe@Numbers:18:8 @And the Lord said to Aaron, See, I have given into your care my lifted offerings; even all the holy things of the children of Israel I have given to you and to your sons as your right for ever, because you have been marked with the holy oil.

bbe@Numbers:18:10 @As most holy things they are to be your food: let every male have them for food; it is to be holy to you

bbe@Numbers:18:12 @All the best of the oil and the wine and the grain, the first-fruits of them which they give to the Lord, to you have I given them.

bbe@Numbers:18:13 @The earliest produce from their land which they take to the Lord is to be yours; everyone in your house who is clean may have it for his food.

bbe@Numbers:18:18 @Their flesh is to be yours; like the breast of the wave offering and the right leg, it is to be yours.

bbe@Numbers:18:19 @All the lifted offerings of the holy things which the children of Israel give to the Lord, I have given to you and to your sons and to your daughters as a right for ever. This is an agreement made with salt before the Lord, to you and to your seed for ever.

bbe@Numbers:18:20 @And the Lord said to Aaron, You will have no heritage in their land, or any part among them; I am your part and your heritage among the children of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:18:21 @And to the children of Levi I have given as their heritage all the tenths offered in Israel, as payment for the work they do, the work of the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Numbers:18:23 @But the Levites are to do the work of the Tent of meeting, and be responsible for errors in connection with it: this is a law for ever through all your generations; and among the children of Israel they will have no heritage.

bbe@Numbers:18:24 @For the tenths which the children of Israel give as a lifted offering to the Lord I have given to the Levites as their heritage. and so I have said to them, Among the children of Israel they will have no heritage.

bbe@Numbers:18:26 @Say to the Levites, When you take from the children of Israel the tenth which I have given to you from them as your heritage, a tenth part of that tenth is to be offered as an offering lifted up before the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:18:27 @And this lifted offering is to be put to your credit as if it was grain from the grain-floor and wine from the vines.

bbe@Numbers:18:28 @So you are to make an offering lifted up to the Lord from all the tenths which you get from the children of Israel, giving out of it the Lord's lifted offering to Aaron the priest.

bbe@Numbers:18:29 @From everything given to you, let the best of it, the holy part of it, be offered as a lifted offering to the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:18:30 @Say to them, then, When the best of it is lifted up on high, it is to be put to the account of the Levites as the increase of the grain-floor and of the place where the grapes are crushed.

bbe@Numbers:18:31 @It is to be your food, for you and your families in every place: it is your reward for your work in the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Numbers:18:32 @And no sin will be yours on account of it, when the best of it has been lifted up on high; you are not to make a wrong use of the holy things of the children of Israel, so that death may not overtake you.

bbe@Numbers:19:2 @This is the rule of the law which the Lord has made, saying, Give orders to the children of Israel to give you a red cow without any mark on her, and on which the yoke has never been put:

bbe@Numbers:19:9 @Then let a man who is clean take the dust of the burned cow and put it outside the tent-circle in a clean place, where it is to be kept for the children of Israel and used in making the water which takes away what is unclean: it is a sin-offering.

bbe@Numbers:19:10 @And he who takes up the dust of the burned cow is to have his clothing washed with water and be unclean till evening: this is to be a law for ever, for the children of Israel as well as for the man from another country who is living among them

bbe@Numbers:19:12 @On the third day and on the seventh day he is to make himself clean with the water, and so he will be clean: but if he does not do this on the third day and on the seventh day, he will not be clean.

bbe@Numbers:19:13 @Anyone touching the body of a dead man without making himself clean in this way, makes the House of the Lord unclean; and that man will be cut off from Israel: because the water was not put on him, he will be unclean; his unclean condition is unchanged.

bbe@Numbers:19:15 @And every open vessel without a cover fixed on it will be unclean.

bbe@Numbers:19:16 @And anyone touching one who has been put to death with the sword in the open country, or the body of one who has come to his end by a natural death, or a man's bone, or the resting-place of a dead body, will be unclean for seven days.

bbe@Numbers:19:17 @And for the unclean, they are to take the dust of the burning of the sin-offering, and put flowing water on it in a vessel:

bbe@Numbers:19:18 @And a clean person is to take hyssop and put it in the water, shaking it over the tent, and all the vessels, and the people who were there, and over him by whom the bone, or the body of one who has been put to death with the sword, or the body of one who has come to his end by a natural death, or the resting-place was touched.

bbe@Numbers:19:22 @Anything touched by the unclean person will be unclean; and any person touching it will be unclean till evening.

bbe@Numbers:20:3 @And the people were angry with Moses and said, If only death had overtaken us when our brothers came to their death before the Lord!

bbe@Numbers:20:5 @Why have you made us come out of Egypt into this evil place? This is no place of seed or figs or vines or other fruits, and there is no water for drinking.

bbe@Numbers:20:8 @Take the rod, you and Aaron, your brother, and make all the people come together, and before their eyes give orders to the rock to give out its water; and so make water come out of the rock for them, and give the people and their cattle drink.

bbe@Numbers:20:11 @And lifting up his hand, Moses gave the rock two blows with his rod: and water came streaming out, and the people and their cattle had drink enough.

bbe@Numbers:20:12 @Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, Because you had not enough faith in me to keep my name holy before the children of Israel, you will not take this people into the land which I have given them

bbe@Numbers:20:17 @Let us now go through your land: we will not go into field or vine-garden, or take the water of the springs; we will go by the highway, not turning to the right or to the left, till we have gone past the limits of your land.

bbe@Numbers:20:18 @And Edom said, You are not to go through my land, for if you do I will come out against you with the sword.

bbe@Numbers:20:19 @And the children of Israel said to him, We will go up by the highway: and if we or our cattle take of your water, we will give you a price for it: only let us go through on our feet, nothing more.

bbe@Numbers:20:20 @But he said, You are not to go through. And Edom came out against them in his strength, with a great army.

bbe@Numbers:20:22 @And they went on from Kadesh, and came, with all their people, to Mount Hor.

bbe@Numbers:20:24 @Aaron will be put to rest with his people; he will not go into the land which I have given to the children of Israel, because you went against my word at the waters of Meribah.

bbe@Numbers:20:26 @And take Aaron's robes off him and put them on Eleazar, his son: and death will come to Aaron there, and he will be put to rest with his people.

bbe@Numbers:21:1 @And it came to the ears of the Canaanite, the king of Arad, living in the South, that Israel was coming by the way of Atharim, and he came out against them and took some of them prisoners.

bbe@Numbers:21:3 @And the Lord, in answer to the voice of Israel, gave the Canaanites up to them; and they put them and their towns completely to destruction: and that place was named Hormah.

bbe@Numbers:21:4 @Then they went on from Mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, going round the land of Edom: and the spirit of the people was overcome with weariness on the way.

bbe@Numbers:21:6 @Then the Lord sent poison-snakes among the people; and their bites were a cause of death to numbers of the people of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:21:8 @And the Lord said to Moses, Make an image of a snake and put it on a rod, and anyone who has been wounded by the snakes, looking on it will be made well.

bbe@Numbers:21:9 @So Moses made a snake of brass and put it on a rod; and anyone who had a snakebite, after looking on the snake of brass, was made well.

bbe@Numbers:21:13 @From there they went on and put up their tents on the other side of the Arnon, which is on the waste land at the edge of the land of the Amorites; for the Arnon is the line of division between Moab and the Amorites:

bbe@Numbers:21:14 @As it says in the book of the Wars of the Lord, Vaheb in Suphah, and the valley of the Amon;

bbe@Numbers:21:17 @Then Israel gave voice to this song: Come up, O water-spring, let us make a song to it:

bbe@Numbers:21:18 @The fountain made by the chiefs, made deep by the great ones of the people, with the law-givers' rod, and with their sticks. Then from the waste land they went on to Mattanah:

bbe@Numbers:21:21 @And Israel sent men to Sihon, king of the Amorites, saying,

bbe@Numbers:21:22 @Let me go through your land: we will not go into field or vine-garden, or take the water of the springs; we will go by the highway till we have gone past the limits of your land.

bbe@Numbers:21:25 @And Israel took all their towns, living in Heshbon and all the towns and small places of the Amorites.

bbe@Numbers:21:26 @For Heshbon was the town of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who had made war against an earlier king of Moab and taken from him all his land as far as the Arnon.

bbe@Numbers:21:27 @So the makers of wise sayings say, Come to Heshbon, building up the town of Sihon and making it strong:

bbe@Numbers:21:29 @Sorrow is yours, O Moab! Destruction is your fate, O people of Chemosh: his sons have gone in flight, and his daughters are prisoners, in the hands of Sihon, king of the Amorites.

bbe@Numbers:21:30 @They are wounded with our arrows; destruction has come on Heshbon, even to Dibon; and we have made the land waste as far as Nophah, stretching out to Medeba.

bbe@Numbers:21:31 @So Israel put up their tents in the land of the Amorites.

bbe@Numbers:21:32 @And Moses sent men secretly to Jazer, and they took its towns, driving out the Amorites who were living there.

bbe@Numbers:21:33 @Then turning they went up by the way of Bashan; and Og, king of Bashan, went out against them with all his people, to the fight at Edrei.

bbe@Numbers:21:34 @And the Lord said to Moses, Have no fear of him: for I have given him up into your hands, with all his people and his land; do to him as you did to Sihon, king of the Amorites, at Heshbon.

bbe@Numbers:21:35 @So they overcame him and his sons and his people, driving them all out: and they took his land for their heritage.

bbe@Numbers:22:2 @Now Balak, the son of Zippor, saw what Israel had done to the Amorites.

bbe@Numbers:22:3 @And in Moab there was great fear of the people, because their numbers were so great: and the feeling of Moab was bitter against the children of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:22:4 @Then Moab said to the responsible men of Midian, It is clear that this great people will be the destruction of everything round us, making a meal of us as the ox does of the grass of the field. At that time Balak, the son of Zippor, was king of Moab.

bbe@Numbers:22:5 @So he sent men to Balaam, son of Beor, at Pethor by the River in the land of the children of his people, saying to him, See, a people has come out of Egypt, covering all the face of the earth, and they have put up their tents opposite to me:

bbe@Numbers:22:6 @Come now, in answer to my prayer, and put a curse on this people, for they are greater than I: and then I may be strong enough to overcome them and send them out of the land: for it is clear that good comes to him who has your blessing, but he on whom you put your curse is cursed.

bbe@Numbers:22:8 @And he said to them, Take your rest here tonight, and I will give you an answer after hearing what the Lord says; so the chiefs of Moab kept there with Balaam that night.

bbe@Numbers:22:9 @And God came to Balaam and said, Who are these men with you?

bbe@Numbers:22:12 @And God said to Balaam, You are not to go with them, or put a curse on this people, for they have my blessing.

bbe@Numbers:22:13 @In the morning Balaam got up and said to the chiefs of Balak, Go back to your land, for the Lord will not let me go with you.

bbe@Numbers:22:14 @So the chiefs of Moab went back to Balak and said, Balaam will not come with us.

bbe@Numbers:22:15 @So Balak sent more chiefs, greater in number and of higher position than the others.

bbe@Numbers:22:18 @But Balaam, in answer; said to the servants of Balak, Even if Balak gave me his house full of silver and gold, it would not be possible for me to do anything more or less than the orders of the Lord my God.

bbe@Numbers:22:20 @And that night God came to Balaam and said to him, If these men have come for you, go with them: but do only what I say to you.

bbe@Numbers:22:21 @So in the morning Balaam got up and, making his ass ready, went with the chiefs of Moab.

bbe@Numbers:22:22 @But God was moved to wrath because he went: and the angel of the Lord took up a position in the road to keep him from his purpose. Now he was seated on his ass, and his two servants were with him.

bbe@Numbers:22:23 @And the ass saw the angel of the Lord waiting in the road with his sword in his hand; and turning from the road, the ass went into the field; and Balaam gave the ass blows, to get her back on to the road.

bbe@Numbers:22:24 @Then the angel of the Lord took up his position in a narrow road through the vine-gardens, with a wall on this side and on that.

bbe@Numbers:22:27 @And the ass saw the angel of the Lord and went down on the earth under Balaam; and full of wrath, Balaam gave her hard blows with his stick.

bbe@Numbers:22:31 @Then the Lord made Balaam's eyes open, and he saw the angel of the Lord in the way with his sword in his hand: and he went down on his face to the earth.

bbe@Numbers:22:34 @And Balaam said to the angel of the Lord, I have done wrong, for I did not see that you were in the way against me: but now, if it is evil in your eyes, I will go back again.

bbe@Numbers:22:35 @And the angel of the Lord said to Balaam, Go with the men; but say only what I give you to say. Then Balaam went on with the chiefs of Balak.

bbe@Numbers:22:37 @And Balak said to Balaam, Did I not send to you, requesting you with all my heart to come to me? why did you not come? am I not able to give you a place of honour?

bbe@Numbers:22:39 @And Balaam went with Balak to Kiriath-huzoth.

bbe@Numbers:22:40 @And Balak made offerings of oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam and the chiefs who were with him.

bbe@Numbers:22:41 @And in the morning Balak took Balaam up to the high places of Baal, and from there he was able to see the outer limits of the people.

bbe@Numbers:23:6 @So he went back to him where he was waiting by his burned offering with all the chiefs of Moab.

bbe@Numbers:23:7 @And in the words which the Lord had given him he said, From Aram Balak has sent for me, the king of Moab from the mountains of the East: come, put curses on Jacob for me and be angry with Israel.

bbe@Numbers:23:8 @How may I put curses on him who is not cursed by God? how may I be angry with him with whom the Lord is not angry?

bbe@Numbers:23:9 @From the top of the rocks I see him, looking down on him from the hills: it is a people made separate, not to be numbered among the nations.

bbe@Numbers:23:13 @And Balak said to him, Come with me now into another place from which you will not be able to see them all, but only the outskirts of them; and you will send curses on them from there.

bbe@Numbers:23:17 @So he came to him where he was waiting by his burned offering with the chiefs of Moab by his side. And Balak said to him, What has the Lord said?

bbe@Numbers:23:21 @He has seen no evil in Jacob or wrongdoing in Israel: the Lord his God is with him, and the glad cry of a king is among them.

bbe@Numbers:23:22 @It is God who has taken them out of Egypt; his horns are like those of the mountain ox.

bbe@Numbers:23:23 @No evil power has effect against Jacob, no secret arts against Israel; at the right time it will be said of Jacob and of Israel, See what God has done!

bbe@Numbers:23:27 @Then Balak said to Balaam, Come now, I will take you to another place; it may be that God will let you put a curse on them from there.

bbe@Numbers:24:1 @Now when Balaam saw that it was the Lord's pleasure to give his blessing to Israel, he did not, as at other times, make use of secret arts, but turning his face to the waste land,

bbe@Numbers:24:2 @And lifting up his eyes, he saw Israel there, with their tents in the order of their tribes: and the spirit of God came on him.

bbe@Numbers:24:3 @And moved by the spirit, he said, These are the words of Balaam, son of Beor, the words of the man whose eyes are open:

bbe@Numbers:24:8 @It is God who has taken him out of Egypt; his horns are like those of the mountain ox; the nations warring against him will be his food, their bones will be broken, they will be wounded with his arrows.

bbe@Numbers:24:11 @Go back quickly to the place you came from: it was my purpose to give you a place of honour, but now the Lord has kept you back from honour.

bbe@Numbers:24:13 @Even if Balak gave me his house full of silver and gold, it would not be possible for me to go outside the orders of the Lord, doing good or evil at the impulse of my mind; whatever the Lord says I will say?

bbe@Numbers:24:15 @Then he went on with his story and said, These are the words of Balaam, the son of Beor, the words of him whose eyes are open:

bbe@Numbers:24:17 @I see him, but not now: looking on him, but not near: a star will come out of Jacob, and a rod of authority out of Israel, sending destruction to the farthest limits of Moab and on the head of all the sons of Sheth.

bbe@Numbers:24:18 @Edom will be his heritage, and he will put an end to the last of the people of Seir.

bbe@Numbers:24:20 @Then, turning his eyes to Amalek, he went on with his story and said, Amalek was the first of the nations, but his part will be destruction for ever

bbe@Numbers:24:21 @And looking on the Kenites he went on with his story and said, Strong is your living-place, and your secret place is safe in the rock.

bbe@Numbers:24:22 @But still the Kenites will be wasted, till Asshur takes you away prisoner.

bbe@Numbers:24:23 @Then he went on with his story and said, But who may keep his life when God does this?

bbe@Numbers:24:24 @But ships will come from the direction of Kittim, troubling Asshur and troubling Eber, and like the others their fate will be destruction.

bbe@Numbers:25:1 @Now when Israel was living in Shittim the people became false to the Lord, doing evil with the daughters of Moab:

bbe@Numbers:25:3 @So Israel had relations with the women of Moab in honour of the Baal of Peor: and the Lord was moved to wrath against Israel.

bbe@Numbers:25:5 @So Moses said to the judges of Israel, Let everyone put to death those of his men who have had relations with the women of Moab in honour of the Baal of Peor.

bbe@Numbers:25:6 @Then one of the children of Israel came to his brothers, taking with him a woman of Midian, before the eyes of Moses and all the meeting of the people, while they were weeping at the door of the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Numbers:25:7 @And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, seeing it, got up from among the people and took a spear in his hand,

bbe@Numbers:25:12 @So say to them that I will make with him an agreement of peace:

bbe@Numbers:25:14 @Now the man of Israel who was put to death with the woman of Midian was Zimri, the son of Salu, a chief of one of the families of the Simeonites.

bbe@Numbers:25:17 @Take up arms against the Midianites and overcome them;

bbe@Numbers:25:18 @For they are a danger to you with their false ways, causing sin to come on you in the question of Peor, and because of Cozbi, their sister, the daughter of the chief of Midian, who was put to death at the time of the disease which came on you because of Peor.

bbe@Numbers:27:3 @Death overtook our father in the waste land; he was not among those who were banded together with Korah against the Lord; but death came to him in his sin; and he had no sons.

bbe@Numbers:27:11 @And if his father has no brothers, then give it to his nearest relation in the family, as his heritage: this is to be a decision made by law for the children of Israel, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

bbe@Numbers:27:13 @And when you have seen it, you will be put to rest with your people, as your brother Aaron was:

bbe@Numbers:27:21 @He will take his place before Eleazar the priest, so that he may get directions from the Lord for him, with the Urim: at his word they will go out, and at his word they will come in, he and all the children of Israel.

bbe@Numbers: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:30:14 @But if the days go on, and her husband says nothing whatever to her, then he is giving the support of his authority to her oaths and undertakings, because at the time of hearing them he said nothing to her.

bbe@Numbers:30:15 @But if at some time after hearing of them, he makes them without force, then he is responsible for her wrongdoing.

bbe@Numbers:30:16 @These are the laws which the Lord gave Moses in relation to a man and his wife, or a father and a young daughter who is under his authority.

bbe@Numbers:31:2 @Give the Midianites punishment for the wrong they did to the children of Israel: and after that you will go to rest with your people.

bbe@Numbers:31:6 @And Moses sent them out to war, a thousand from every tribe, and with them Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest, taking in his hands the vessels of the holy place and the horns for sounding the note of war.

bbe@Numbers:31:8 @They put the kings of Midian to death with the rest, Evi and Reken and Zur and Hur and Reba, the five kings of Midian: and Balaam, the son of Beor, they put to death with the sword.

bbe@Numbers:31:9 @The women of Midian with their little ones the children of Israel took prisoner; and all their cattle and flocks and all their goods they took for themselves;

bbe@Numbers:31:11 @They went away with the goods they had taken, man and beast.

bbe@Numbers:31:14 @And Moses was angry with the chiefs of the army, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds who had come back from the war.

bbe@Numbers:31:16 @It was these who, moved by Balaam, were the cause of Israel's sin against the Lord in the question of Peor, because of which disease came on the people of the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:31:17 @So now put every male child to death, and every woman who has had sex relations with a man.

bbe@Numbers:31:18 @But all the female children who have had no sex relations with men, you may keep for yourselves.

bbe@Numbers:31:20 @And every bit of clothing, and anything made of leather or goats' hair or wood, you are to make clean.

bbe@Numbers:31:23 @And anything which may be heated, is to go through the fire and be made clean; but in addition it is to be put in the water of cleaning: and anything which may not go through the fire is to be put in the water.

bbe@Numbers:31:27 @And let division be made of it into two parts, one for the men of war who went out to the fight, and one for all the people:

bbe@Numbers:31:29 @Take this from their part and give it to Eleazar the priest as an offering to be lifted up to the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:31:30 @And from the part given to the children of Israel, take one out of every fifty, from the persons, and from the oxen and asses and sheep, and give it to the Levites who have the care of the House of the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:31:32 @Now the beasts taken, in addition to what the fighting-men took for themselves, were six hundred and seventy-five thousand sheep,

bbe@Numbers:31:35 @And thirty-two thousand persons, that is, women who had never had sex relations with a man.

bbe@Numbers:31:47 @Even from the children of Israel's half, Moses took one out of every fifty, men and beasts, and gave them to the Levites who had the care of the House of the Lord; as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

bbe@Numbers:31:48 @Then the men in authority over the thousands of the army, the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, came to Moses,

bbe@Numbers:31:54 @Then Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold given by the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, and took it into the Tent of meeting, to be a sign in memory of the children of Israel before the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:32:5 @And they said, With your approval, let this land be given to your servants as their heritage: do not take us over Jordan.

bbe@Numbers:32:11 @Truly, not one of the men of twenty years old and over who came out of Egypt will see the land which I gave by oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; because they have not been true to me with all their heart;

bbe@Numbers:32:12 @But only Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua, the son of Nun: because they have been true to the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:32:13 @Then the Lord was angry with Israel, and he made them wanderers in the waste land for forty years? till all that generation who had done evil in the eyes of the Lord was dead.

bbe@Numbers:32:16 @Then they came to him, and said, We will make safe places for our cattle here, and towns for our little ones;

bbe@Numbers:32:17 @But we ourselves will be ready armed to go before the children of Israel till we have taken them to their place: but our little ones will be safe in the walled towns against the people of the land.

bbe@Numbers:32:18 @We will not come back to our houses till every one of the children of Israel has come into his heritage.

bbe@Numbers:32:19 @For we will not have our heritage with them on the other side of Jordan and forward; because our heritage has come to us on this side of Jordan to the east.

bbe@Numbers:32:22 @And the land is under the rule of the Lord: then after that you may come back, having done no wrong to the Lord and to Israel; and this land will be yours for your heritage before the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:32:23 @But if you do not do this, then you are sinners against the Lord; and you may be certain that your sin will have its reward

bbe@Numbers:32:24 @So get to work building your towns for your little ones, and safe places for your sheep; and do as you have said.

bbe@Numbers:32:26 @Our little ones, our wives, and our flocks, and all our cattle, will be there in the towns of Gilead;

bbe@Numbers:32:29 @And Moses said to them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben go with you over Jordan, every man armed for the fight before the Lord, and all the land is given into your hands, then let them have the land of Gilead for a heritage:

bbe@Numbers:32:30 @But if they do not go over with you armed, they will have to take their heritage with you in the land of Canaan.

bbe@Numbers:32:32 @We will go over armed before the Lord into the land of Canaan, and you will give us our heritage on this side of Jordan.

bbe@Numbers:32:33 @So Moses gave to them, even to the children of Gad and the children of Reuben and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorites and Og, king of Bashan, all the land with its towns and the country round them.

bbe@Numbers:32:39 @And the children of Machir, the son of Manasseh, went to Gilead and took it, driving out the Amorites who were living there.

bbe@Numbers:32:40 @And Moses gave Gilead to Machir, the son of Manasseh; and he made it his living-place.

bbe@Numbers:32:42 @And Nobah went and took Kenath and its small towns, naming it Nobah, after himself.

bbe@Numbers:33:2 @And the stages of their journey on their way out were put down in writing by Moses at the order of the Lord: these are the stages of their journey and the way they went.

bbe@Numbers:33:18 @And they went on from Hazeroth, and put up their tents in Rithmah.

bbe@Numbers:33:19 @And they went on from Rithmah, and put up their tents in Rimmon-perez.

bbe@Numbers:33:28 @And they went on from Terah, and put up their tents in Mithkah.

bbe@Numbers:33:29 @And they went on from Mithkah, and put up their tents in Hashmonah.

bbe@Numbers:33:40 @And news of the coming of the children of Israel came to the king of Arad, the Canaanite, who was living in the South in the land of Canaan.

bbe@Numbers:33:49 @Planting their tents by the side of Jordan from Beth-jeshimoth as far as Abel-shittim in the lowlands of Moab.

bbe@Numbers:33:53 @And take the land for yourselves, for your resting-place: for to you I have given the land as your heritage.

bbe@Numbers:33:54 @And you will take up your heritage in the land by the decision of the Lord, to every family its part; the greater the family the greater its heritage, and the smaller the family the smaller will be its heritage; wherever the decision of the Lord gives to any man his part, that will be his; distribution will be made to you by your fathers' tribes.

bbe@Numbers:33:56 @And it will come about that as it was my purpose to do to them, so I will do to you.

bbe@Numbers:34:2 @Give orders to the children of Israel and say to them, When you come into the land of Canaan; (this is the land which is to be your heritage, the land of Canaan inside these limits,)

bbe@Numbers:34:3 @Then your south quarter will be from the waste land of Zin by the side of Edom, and your limit on the south will be from the east end of the Salt Sea,

bbe@Numbers:34:4 @And round to the south of the slope of Akrabbim, and on to Zin: and its direction will be south of Kadesh-barnea, and it will go as far as Hazar-addar and on to Azmon:

bbe@Numbers:34:5 @And from Azmon it will go round to the stream of Egypt as far as the sea.

bbe@Numbers:34:6 @And for your limit on the west you will have the Great Sea and its edge: this will be your limit on the west.

bbe@Numbers:34:7 @And your limit on the north will be the line from the Great Sea to Mount Hor:

bbe@Numbers:34:8 @And from Mount Hor the line will go in the direction of Hamath; the farthest point of it will be at Zedad:

bbe@Numbers:34:9 @And the limit will go on to Ziphron, with its farthest point at Hazar-enan: this will be your limit on the north.

bbe@Numbers:34:10 @And on the east, your limit will be marked out from Hazar-enan to Shepham,

bbe@Numbers:34:12 @And so down to Jordan, stretching to the Salt Sea: all the land inside these limits will be yours.

bbe@Numbers:34:13 @And Moses gave orders to the children of Israel saying, This is the land which is to be your heritage, by the decision of the Lord, which by the Lord's order is to be given to the nine tribes and the half-tribe:

bbe@Numbers:34:14 @For the tribe of the children of Reuben, by their fathers' families, and the tribe of the children of Gad, by their fathers' families, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, have been given their heritage:

bbe@Numbers:34:15 @The two tribes and the half-tribe have been given their heritage on the other side of Jordan at Jericho, on the east looking to the dawn.

bbe@Numbers:34:29 @These are they to whom the Lord gave orders to make the distribution of the heritage among the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.

bbe@Numbers:35:2 @Give orders to the children of Israel to give to the Levites, from the heritage which is theirs, towns for themselves, with land on the outskirts of the towns.

bbe@Numbers:35:3 @These towns are to be their living-places, with land round them for their cattle and their food and all their beasts,

bbe@Numbers:35:4 @Stretching from the wall of the towns a distance of a thousand cubits all round.

bbe@Numbers:35:5 @The measure of this space of land is to be two thousand cubits outside the town on the east, and two thousand cubits on the south and on the west and on the north, the town being in the middle. This space will be the outskirts of their towns.

bbe@Numbers:35:6 @And the towns which you give the Levites are to be the six safe places to which the taker of life may go in flight; and in addition you are to give them forty-two towns.

bbe@Numbers:35:7 @Forty-eight towns are to be given to the Levites, all with land round them.

bbe@Numbers:35:8 @And these towns are to be given out of the heritage of the children of Israel, taking the greater number from those who have much, and a smaller number from those who have little: everyone, in the measure of his heritage, is to give of his property to the Levites.

bbe@Numbers:35:16 @But if a man gives another man a blow with an iron instrument, causing his death, he is a taker of life and is certainly to be put to death.

bbe@Numbers:35:17 @Or if he gives him a blow with a stone in his hand, causing his death, he is a taker of life and is certainly to be put to death.

bbe@Numbers:35:18 @Or if he gave him blows with a wood instrument in his hands, causing his death, he is a taker of life and is certainly to be put to death.

bbe@Numbers:35:19 @He whose right it is to give punishment for blood, may himself put to death the taker of life when he comes face to face with him.

bbe@Numbers:35:20 @If in his hate he put a sword through him, or waiting secretly for him sent a spear or stone at him, causing his death;

bbe@Numbers:35:21 @Or in hate gave him blows with his hand, causing death; he who gave the death-blow is to be put to death; he is a taker of life: he whose right it is to give punishment for blood may put to death the taker of life when he comes face to face with him.

bbe@Numbers:35:22 @But if a man has given a wound to another suddenly and not in hate, or without design has sent something against him,

bbe@Numbers:35:23 @Or has given him a blow with a stone, without seeing him, so causing his death, though he had nothing against him and no desire to do him evil:

bbe@Numbers:35:25 @And let the people keep the man responsible for the death safe from the hands of him who has the right of punishment for blood, and send him back to his safe town where he had gone in flight: there let him be till the death of the high priest who was marked with the holy oil.

bbe@Numbers:35:28 @Because he had been ordered to keep inside the safe town till the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the taker of life may come back to the place of his heritage.

bbe@Numbers:35:30 @Anyone causing the death of another is himself to be put to death on the word of witnesses: but the word of one witness is not enough.

bbe@Numbers:35:33 @So do not make the land where you are living unholy: for blood makes the land unholy: and there is no way of making the land free from the blood which has come on it, but only by the death of him who was the cause of it.

bbe@Numbers:36:2 @And said, The Lord gave orders to my lord to make distribution of the land as their heritage to the children of Israel: and my lord was ordered by the Lord to give the heritage of Zelophehad, our brother, to his daughters.

bbe@Numbers:36:3 @Now if they get married to any of the sons of other tribes of the children of Israel, then their property will be taken away from the heritage of our fathers, and become part of the heritage of the tribe into which they get married: and their heritage will be taken away from the heritage of our tribe.

bbe@Numbers:36:4 @And at the time of the Jubilee of the children of Israel, their property will be joined to the heritage of the tribe of which they are part and will be taken away from the heritage of the tribe of our fathers.

bbe@Numbers:36:7 @And so no property will be handed from tribe to tribe among the children of Israel; but every one of the children of Israel will keep the heritage of his father's tribe.

bbe@Numbers:36:8 @And every daughter owning property in any tribe of the children of Israel is to be married to one of the family of her father's tribe, so that every man of the children of Israel may keep the heritage of his fathers.

bbe@Numbers:36:9 @And no property will be handed from one tribe to another, but every tribe of the children of Israel will keep its heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:1 @These are the words which Moses said to all Israel on the far side of Jordan, in the waste land in the Arabah opposite Suph, between Paran on the one side, and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab on the other.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:2 @It is eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to Kadesh-barnea.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:4 @After he had overcome Sihon, king of the Amorites, ruling in Heshbon, and Og, king of Bashan, ruling in Ashtaroth, at Edrei:

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:7 @Make a move now, and go on your way into the hill-country of the Amorites and the places near it, in the Arabah and the hill-country and in the lowlands and in the South and by the seaside, all the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:12 @How is it possible for me by myself to be responsible for you, and undertake the weight of all your troubles and your arguments?

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:14 @And you made answer and said to me, It is good for us to do as you say.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:16 @And at that time I gave orders to your judges, saying, Let all questions between your brothers come before you for hearing, and give decisions uprightly between a man and his brother or one from another nation who is with him.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:17 @In judging, do not let a man's position have any weight with you; give hearing equally to small and great; have no fear of any man, for it is God who is judge: and any cause in which you are not able to give a decision, you are to put before me and I will give it a hearing.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:19 @Then we went on from Horeb, through all that great and cruel waste which you saw, on our way to the hill-country of the Amorites, as the Lord gave us orders; and we came to Kadesh-barnea.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:20 @And I said to you, You have come to the hill-country of the Amorites, which the Lord our God is giving us.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:21 @See now, the Lord your God has put the land into your hands: go up and take it, as the Lord, the God of your fathers, has said to you; have no fear and do not be troubled.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:22 @And you came near to me, every one of you, and said, Let us send men before us to go through the land with care and give us an account of the way we are to go and the towns to which we will come.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:25 @And taking in their hands some of the fruit of the land, they came down again to us, and gave us their account, saying, It is a good land which the Lord our God is giving us.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:27 @And you made an angry outcry in your tents, and said, In his hate for us the Lord has taken us out of the land of Egypt, to give us up into the hands of the Amorites for our destruction.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:28 @Where are we going up? Our brothers have made our hearts feeble with fear by saying, The people are greater and taller than we are, and the towns are great and walled up to heaven; and more than this, we have seen the sons of the Anakim there.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:32 @But for all this, you had no faith in the Lord your God,

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:34 @And the Lord, hearing your words, was angry, and said with an oath,

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:36 @But only Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, he will see it; and to him and to his children I will give the land over which his feet have gone, because he has been true to the Lord with all his heart.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:37 @And, in addition, the Lord was angry with me because of you, saying, You yourself will not go into it:

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:38 @Joshua, the son of Nun, your servant, he will go into the land: say to him that he is to be strong, for he will be Israel's guide into their heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:39 @And your little ones, who, you said, would come into strange hands, your children, who now have no knowledge of good or evil, they will go into that land, and to them I will give it and it will be theirs.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:41 @Then you said to me, We have done evil against the Lord, we will go up to the attack, as the Lord our God has given us orders. And arming yourselves every one, you made ready to go up without care into the hill-country.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:44 @And the Amorites who were in the hill-country came out against you and put you to flight, rushing after you like bees, and overcame you in Seir, driving you even as far as Hormah.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:46 @So you were kept waiting in Kadesh for a long time.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:5 @Make no attack on them, for I will not give you any of their land, not even space enough for a man's foot: because I have given Mount Seir to Esau for his heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:7 @For the blessing of the Lord your God has been on you in all the work of your hands: he has knowledge of your wanderings through this great waste: these forty years the Lord your God has been with you, and you have been short of nothing.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:9 @And the Lord said to me, Make no attack on Moab and do not go to war with them, for I will not give you any of his land: because I have given Ar to the children of Lot for their heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:11 @They are numbered among the Rephaim, like the Anakim; but are named Emim by the Moabites.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:12 @And the Horites in earlier times were living in Seir, but the children of Esau took their place; they sent destruction on them and took their land for themselves, as Israel did to the land of his heritage which the Lord gave them.)

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:18 @You are about to go by Ar, the limit of the country of Moab;

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:19 @And when you come near the land of the children of Ammon, give them no cause of trouble and do not make war on them, for I will not give you any of the land of the children of Ammon for your heritage: because I have given it to the children of Lot.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:20 @(That land is said to have been a land of the Rephaim, for Rephaim had been living there in earlier times, but they were named Zamzummim by the Ammonites;

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:22 @As he did for the children of Esau living in Seir, when he sent destruction on the Horites before them, and they took their land where they are living to this day:

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:24 @Get up now, and go on your journey, crossing over the valley of the Arnon: see, I have given into your hands Sihon, the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and all his land: go forward to make it yours, and make war on him,

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:25 @From now on I will put the fear of you in all peoples under heaven, who, hearing of you, will be shaking with fear and grief of heart because of you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:26 @Then from the waste land of Kedemoth I sent representatives to Sihon, king of Heshbon, with words of peace, saying,

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:29 @As the children of Esau did for me in Seir and the Moabites in Ar; till I have gone over Jordan into the land which the Lord our God is giving us.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:30 @But Sihon, king of Heshbon, would not let us go through; for the Lord your God made his spirit hard and his heart strong, so that he might give him up into your hands as at this day.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:31 @And the Lord said to me, See, from now on I have given Sihon and his land into your hands: go forward now to take his land and make it yours.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:32 @Then Sihon came out against us with all his people, to make an attack on us at Jahaz.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:34 @At that time we took all his towns, and gave them over to complete destruction, together with men, women, and children; we had no mercy on any:

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:35 @Only the cattle we took for ourselves, with the goods from the towns we had taken.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:1 @Then turning we took the road to Bashan: and Og, king of Bashan, came out against us with all his people, and made an attack on us at Edrei.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:2 @And the Lord said to me, Have no fear of him: for I have given him and all his people and his land into your hands; do to him as you did to Sihon, king of the Amorites, who was ruling in Heshbon.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:5 @All these towns had high walls round them with doors and locks; and in addition we took a great number of unwalled towns.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:6 @And we put them to the curse, every town together with men, women, and children.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:8 @At that time we took their land from the two kings of the Amorites on the far side of Jordan, from the valley of the Arnon to Mount Hermon;

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:9 @(By the Sidonians, Hermon is named Sirion, and by the Amorites Shenir;)

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:11 @(For Og, king of Bashan, was the last of all the Rephaim; his bed was made of iron; is it not in Rabbah, in the land of the children of Ammon? It was nine cubits long and four cubits wide, measured by the common cubit.)

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:12 @And this land which we took at that time, from Aroer by the valley of the Arnon, and half the hill-country of Gilead with its towns, I gave to the Reubenites and the Gadites.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:13 @The rest of Gilead and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, all the land of Argob, together with Bashan, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh. (This land is named the land of the Rephaim.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:14 @Jair, the son of Manasseh, took all the land of Argob, as far as the country of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, naming it, Bashan, Havvoth-Jair after himself, as it is to this day.)

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:16 @And the land from Gilead to the valley of the Arnon, with the middle of the valley as a limit, as far as the river Jabbok which is the limit of the country of the children of Ammon, I gave to the Reubenites and the Gadites;

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:17 @As well as the Arabah, with the river Jordan as their limit, from Chinnereth to the Salt Sea, under the slopes of Pisgah to the east.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:18 @At that time I gave you orders, saying, The Lord has given you this land for your heritage: all the men of war are to go over armed before your brothers the children of Israel.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:19 @But your wives and your little ones and your cattle (for it is clear that you have much cattle) may go on living in the towns I have given you;

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:20 @Till the Lord has given rest to your brothers as to you, and till they have taken for themselves the land which the Lord your God is giving them on the other side of Jordan: then you may go back, every man of you, to the heritage which I have given you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:26 @But the Lord was angry with me because of you and would not give ear to my prayer; and the Lord said to me, Let it be enough, say no more about this thing.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:27 @Go up to the top of Pisgah, and turning your eyes to the west and the north, to the south and the east, see the land with your eyes: for you are not to go over Jordan.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:28 @But give my orders to Joshua, comforting him and making him strong; for he is to go over Jordan at the head of this people, and he will give them this land which you will see for their heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:29 @So we were waiting in the valley facing Beth-peor.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:2 @Make no addition to the orders which I give you, and take nothing from them, but keep the orders of the Lord your God which I give you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:4 @But you who kept faith with the Lord are living, every one of you, today.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:5 @I have been teaching you laws and decisions, as I was ordered to do by the Lord my God, so that you might keep them in the land to which you are going to take it for your heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:10 @That day when you were waiting before the Lord your God in Horeb, and the Lord said to me, Make all the people come together, so that hearing my words they may go in fear of me all the days of their life on earth and give this teaching to their children

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:11 @And you came near, waiting at the foot of the mountain; and flames of fire went up from the mountain to the heart of heaven, with dark clouds, and all was black as night.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:13 @And he gave you his agreement with you, the ten rules which you were to keep, which he put in writing on the two stones of the law.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:14 @And the Lord gave me orders at that time to make clear to you these laws and decisions, so that you might do them in the land to which you are going, and which is to be your heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:15 @So keep watch on yourselves with care; for you saw no form of any sort on the day when the voice of the Lord came to you in Horeb out of the heart of the fire:

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:20 @But the Lord has taken you out of the flaming fire, out of Egypt, to be to him the people of his heritage, as you are today.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:21 @And the Lord was angry with me because of you, and made an oath that I was not to go over Jordan into the good land which the Lord is giving you for your heritage:

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:22 @But death is to come to me in this land, I may not go over Jordan: but you will go over and take that good land for your heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:23 @Take care that you do not let the agreement of the Lord your God, which he has made with you, go out of your mind, or make for yourselves images of any sort, against the orders which the Lord your God has given you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:26 @May heaven and earth be my witnesses against you today, that destruction will quickly overtake you, cutting you off from that land which you are going over Jordan to take; your days will not be long in that land, but you will come to a complete end.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:29 @But if in those lands you are turned again to the Lord your God, searching for him with all your heart and soul, he will not keep himself from you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:31 @Because the Lord your God is a God of mercy, he will not take away his help from you or let destruction overtake you, or be false to the agreement which he made by an oath with your fathers.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:32 @Give thought now to the days which are past, before your time, from the day when God first gave life to man on the earth, and searching from one end of heaven to the other, see if such a great thing as this has ever been, or if anything like it has been talked of in story.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:36 @Out of heaven itself his voice came to you, teaching you; and on earth he let you see his great fire; and his words came to your ears out of the heart of the fire.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:37 @And because of his love for your fathers, he took their seed and made it his, and he himself, present among you, took you out of Egypt by his great power;

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:38 @Driving out before you nations greater and stronger than you, to take you into their land and give it to you for your heritage, as at this day.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:40 @Then keep his laws and his orders which I give you today, so that it may be well for you and for your children after you, and that your lives may be long in the land which the Lord your God is giving you for ever.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:43 @The names of the towns were Bezer in the waste land, in the table-land, for the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan for Manasseh.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:46 @On the far side of Jordan, in the valley facing Beth-peor, in the land of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who was ruling in Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel overcame after they had come out of Egypt:

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:47 @And they took his land for a heritage, and the land of Og, king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites, whose lands were on the other side of Jordan to the east;

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:2 @The Lord our God made an agreement with us in Horeb.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:3 @The Lord did not make this agreement with our fathers but with us, who are all living and present here today.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:17 @Do not put anyone to death without cause.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:20 @Do not give false witness against your neighbour;

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:22 @These words the Lord said to all of you together on the mountain, out of the heart of the fire, out of the cloud and the dark, with a great voice: and he said no more; he put them in writing on the two stones of the law and gave them to me.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:23 @And after hearing the voice which came out of the dark while the mountain was burning with fire, all the heads of your tribes and your chiefs came to me,

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:27 @Do you go near: and after hearing everything which the Lord our God has to say, give us an account of all he has said to you, and we will give ear, and do it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:29 @If only they had such a heart in them at all times, so that they might go in fear of me and keep my orders and that it might be well for them and for their children for ever!

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:31 @But as for you, keep your place here by me, and I will give you all the orders and the laws and the decisions which you are to make clear to them, so that they may do them in the land which I am giving them for their heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:33 @Go on walking in the way ordered for you by the Lord your God, so that life may be yours and it may be well for you, and your days may be long in the land of your heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:1 @Now these are the orders and the laws and the decisions which the Lord your God gave me for your teaching, so that you might do them in the land of your heritage to which you are going:

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:3 @So give ear, O Israel, and take care to do this; so that it may be well for you, and you may be greatly increased, as the Lord the God of your fathers has given you his word, in a land flowing with milk and honey.

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:5 @And the Lord your God is to be loved with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:7 @Teaching them to your children with all care, talking of them when you are at rest in your house or walking by the way, when you go to sleep and when you get up.

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:10 @And when the Lord your God has taken you into the land which he gave his oath to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, that he would give you; with great and fair towns which were not of your building;

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:15 @For the Lord your God who is with you is a God who will not let his honour be given to another; or the wrath of the Lord will be burning against you, causing your destruction from the face of the earth.

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:17 @Keep with care the orders of the Lord your God, and his rules and his laws which he has given you;

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:18 @And do what is upright and good in the eyes of the Lord your God, so that it may be well for you and you may go in and take for your heritage that good land from which the Lord undertook by an oath to your fathers,

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:21 @Then you will say to your son, We were servants under Pharaoh's yoke in Egypt; and the Lord took us out of Egypt with a strong hand:

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:24 @And the Lord gave us orders to keep all these laws, in the fear of the Lord our God, so that it might be well for us for ever, and that he might keep us from death, as he has done to this day.

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:25 @And it will be our righteousness if we take care to keep all this order before the Lord our God as he has given it to us.

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:1 @When the Lord your God takes you into the land where you are going, which is to be your heritage, and has sent out the nations before you, the Hittites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Canaanites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and stronger than you;

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:2 @And when the Lord has given them up into your hands and you have overcome them, give them up to complete destruction: make no agreement with them, and have no mercy on them:

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:5 @But this is what you are to do to them: their altars are to be pulled down and their pillars broken, and their holy trees cut down and their images burned with fire.

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:8 @But because of his love for you, and in order to keep his oath to your fathers, the Lord took you out with the strength of his hand, making you free from the prison-house and from the hand of Pharaoh, king of Egypt.

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:9 @Be certain, then, that the Lord your God is God; whose faith and mercy are unchanging, who keeps his word through a thousand generations to those who have love for him and keep his laws;

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:10 @Rewarding his haters to their face with destruction; he will have no mercy on his hater, but will give him open punishment.

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:12 @And it will be, that if you give attention to these decisions and keep and do them, then the Lord will keep his agreement with you and his mercy, as he said in his oath to your fathers.

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:13 @And he will give you his love, blessing you and increasing you: he will send his blessing on the offspring of your body and the fruit of your land, your grain and your wine and your oil, the increase of your cattle and the young of your flock, in the land which by his oath to your fathers he undertook to give you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:14 @You will have greater blessings than any other people: no male or female among you or among your cattle will be without offspring.

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:16 @And you are to send destruction on all the peoples which the Lord your God gives into your hands; have no pity on them, and do not give worship to their gods; for that will be a cause of sin to you

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:21 @Have no fear of them: for the Lord your God is with you, a great God greatly to be feared.

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:22 @The Lord your God will send out the nations before you little by little; they are not to be rooted out quickly, for fear that the beasts of the field may be increased overmuch against you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:25 @The images of their gods are to be burned with fire: have no desire for the gold and silver on them, and do not take it for yourselves, for it will be a danger to you: it is a thing disgusting to the Lord your God:

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:26 @And you may not take a disgusting thing into your house, and so become cursed with its curse: but keep yourselves from it, turning from it with fear and hate, for it is a cursed thing.

bbe@Deuteronomy:8:1 @Take care to keep all the orders which I give you today, so that you may have life and be increased and go in and take as a heritage the land which the Lord, by his oath to your fathers, undertook to give you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:8:3 @And he made low your pride and let you be without food and gave you manna for your food, a thing new to you, which your fathers never saw; so that he might make it clear to you that bread is not man's only need, but his life is in every word which comes out of the mouth of the Lord.

bbe@Deuteronomy:8:8 @A land of grain and vines and fig-trees and fair fruits; a land of oil-giving olive-trees and honey;

bbe@Deuteronomy:8:15 @Who was your guide through that great and cruel waste, where there were poison-snakes and scorpions and a dry land without water; who made water come out of the hard rock for you;

bbe@Deuteronomy:8:18 @But keep in mind the Lord your God: for it is he who gives you the power to get wealth, so that he may give effect to the agreement which he made by his oath with your fathers, as at this day

bbe@Deuteronomy:8:19 @And it is certain that if at any time you are turned away from the Lord your God, and go after other gods, to be their servants and to give them worship, destruction will overtake you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:1 @Give ear, O Israel: today you are to go over Jordan, to take the heritage of nations greater and stronger than yourselves, and towns of great size with walls as high as heaven;

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:2 @A people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, of whom you have knowledge and of whom it has been said, All are forced to give way before the sons of Anak.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:3 @Be certain then today that it is the Lord your God who goes over before you like an all-burning fire; he will send destruction on them, crushing them before you; and you will send them in flight, putting an end to them quickly, as the Lord has said.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:4 @And after the Lord has sent them in flight from before you, say not in your heart, Because of my righteousness the Lord has given me this land; when it is because of their evil-doing that the Lord is driving these nations out before you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:9 @When I had gone up into the mountain to be given the stones on which was recorded the agreement which the Lord made with you, I was on the mountain for forty days and forty nights without taking food or drinking water.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:10 @And the Lord gave me the two stones with writing on them done by the finger of God: on them were recorded all the words which the Lord said to you on the mountain out of the heart of the fire, on the day of the great meeting.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:15 @So turning round I came down from the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire; and the two stones of the agreement were in my hands.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:18 @And I went down on my face before the Lord, as at the first, for forty days and forty nights, without taking food or drinking water, because of all your sin, in doing evil in the eyes of the Lord and moving him to wrath.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:19 @For I was full of fear because of the wrath of the Lord which was burning against you, with your destruction in view. But again the Lord's ear was open to my prayer.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:21 @And I took your sin, the image which you had made, and put it in the fire and had it hammered and crushed very small till it was only dust: and the dust I put in the stream flowing down from the mountain.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:23 @And when the Lord sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and take the land which I have given you; you went against the orders of the Lord your God, and had no faith in him, and would not give ear to his voice.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:26 @And I made prayer to the Lord and said, O Lord God, do not send destruction on your people and your heritage, to whom, by your great power, you have given salvation, whom you have taken out of Egypt by the strength of your hand.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:28 @Or it may be said in the land from which you have taken them, Because the Lord was not able to take them into the land which he said he would give them, and because of his hate for them, he has taken them out to put them to death in the waste land.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:29 @But still they are your people and your heritage, whom you took out by your great power and by your stretched-out arm.

bbe@Deuteronomy:10:3 @So I made an ark of hard wood, and had two stones cut like the others, and went up the mountain with the stones in my hands.

bbe@Deuteronomy:10:4 @And he put on the stones, as in the first writing, the ten rules which the Lord gave you on the mountain out of the fire on the day of the great meeting: and the Lord gave the stones to me.

bbe@Deuteronomy:10:9 @For this reason Levi has no part or heritage for himself among his brothers: the Lord is his heritage, as the Lord your God said to him

bbe@Deuteronomy:10:12 @And now, Israel, what would the Lord your God have you do, but to go in the fear of the Lord your God, walking in all his ways and loving him and doing his pleasure with all your heart and all your soul,

bbe@Deuteronomy:10:14 @The Lord your God is ruler of heaven, of the heaven of heavens, and of the earth with everything in it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:10:17 @For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, strong in power and greatly to be feared, who has no respect for any man's position and takes no rewards:

bbe@Deuteronomy:10:22 @Your fathers went down into Egypt with seventy persons; and now the Lord your God has made you like the stars of heaven in number.

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:6 @And what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben; when they went down into the open mouth of the earth, with their families and their tents and every living thing which was theirs, before the eyes of all Israel:

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:8 @So keep all the orders which I give you today, so that you may be strong, and go in and take the land which is to be your heritage;

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:9 @And that your days may be long in the land which the Lord gave by an oath to your fathers and to their seed after them, a land flowing with milk and honey.

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:10 @For the land where you are going is not like the land of Egypt from which you have come, where you put in your seeds, watering them with your foot, like a planted garden:

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:12 @A land cared for by the Lord your God: the eyes of the Lord your God are on it at all times from one end of the year to the other.

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:13 @And it will be that if you truly give ear to the orders which I put before you this day, loving the Lord your God and worshipping him with all your heart and all your soul,

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:17 @For if you do so, the wrath of the Lord will be burning against you, and the heaven will be shut up so that there is no rain and the land will give no fruit; and in a very little time you will be cut off from the good land which the Lord is giving you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:20 @Writing them on the pillars of your houses and over the doors of your towns:

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:24 @Every place where you put your foot will be yours: from the waste land and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates as far as the Great Sea, will be the limits of your land.

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:29 @And when the Lord your God has taken you into the land of your heritage, you are to put the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal.

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:30 @Are they not on the other side of Jordan, looking west, in the land of the Canaanites living in the Arabah, opposite Gilgal, by the holy tree of Moreh?

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:31 @For you are about to go over Jordan to take the heritage which the Lord your God is giving you, and it will be your resting-place.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:1 @These are the laws and the decisions which you are to keep with care in the land which the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given you to be your heritage all the days of your life on earth.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:3 @Their altars and their pillars are to be broken down, and their holy trees burned with fire, and the images of their gods cut down; you are to take away their names out of that place.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:7 @There you and all your families are to make a feast before the Lord your God, with joy in everything to which you put your hand, because the Lord has given you his blessing.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:8 @You are not to do things then in the way in which we now do them here, every man as it seems right to him:

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:9 @For you have not come to the rest and the heritage which the Lord your God is giving you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:10 @But when you have gone over Jordan and are living in the land which the Lord your God is giving you as your heritage, and when he has given you rest from all those on every side who are fighting against you, and you are living there safely;

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:12 @And you will be glad before the Lord your God, you and your sons and your daughters, and your men-servants and your women-servants, and the Levite who is with you in your house, because he has no part or heritage among you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:15 @Only you may put to death animals, such as the gazelle or the roe, for your food in any of your towns, at the desire of your soul, in keeping with the blessing of the Lord your God which he has given you: the unclean and the clean may take of it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:16 @But you may not take the blood for food, it is to be drained out on the earth like water.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:18 @But they will be your food before the Lord your God in the place of his selection, where you may make a feast of them, with your son and your daughter, and your man-servant and your woman-servant, and the Levite who is living with you: and you will have joy before the Lord your God in everything to which you put your hand.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:19 @See that you do not give up caring for the Levite as long as you are living in your land.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:20 @When the Lord your God makes wide the limit of your land, as he has said, and you say, I will take flesh for my food, because you have a desire for it; then you may take whatever flesh you have a desire for.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:21 @If the place marked out by the Lord your God as the resting-place for his name is far away from you, then take from your herds and from your flocks which the Lord has given you, as I have said, and have a meal of it in the towns where you may be living.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:22 @It will be your food, like the gazelle and the roe; the unclean and the clean may take of it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:23 @But see that you do not take the blood for food; for the blood is the life; and you may not make use of the life as food with the flesh.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:24 @Do not take it for food but let it be drained out on the earth like water.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:25 @Do not take it for food; so that it may be well for you and for your children after you, while you do what is right in the eyes of the Lord.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:28 @Take note of all these orders I am giving you and give attention to them, so that it may be well for you and for your children after you for ever, while you do what is good and right in the eyes of the Lord your God.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:29 @When the people of the land where you are going have been cut off before you by the Lord your God, and you have taken their land and are living in it;

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:32 @You are to keep with care all the words I give you, making no addition to them and taking nothing from them.

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:5 @And that prophet or that dreamer of dreams is to be put to death; for his words were said with the purpose of turning you away from the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt and made you free from the prison-house; and of forcing you out of the way in which the Lord your God has given you orders to go. So you are to put away the evil from among you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:8 @Do not be guided by him or give attention to him; have no pity on him or mercy, and give him no cover;

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:9 @But put him to death without question; let your hand be the first stretched out against him to put him to death, and then the hands of all the people.

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:10 @Let him be stoned with stones till he is dead; because it was his purpose to make you false to the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house.

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:11 @And all Israel, hearing of it, will be full of fear, and no one will again do such evil as this among you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:14 @Then let a full search be made, and let questions be put with care; and if it is true and certain that such a disgusting thing has been done among you;

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:15 @Then take up arms against the people of that town and give it up to the curse, with all its cattle and everything in it

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:16 @And take all the goods into the middle of its open space, burning the town and all its property with fire as an offering to the Lord your God; it is to be a waste for ever; there is to be no more building there.

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:6 @Any beast which has a division in the horn of its foot and whose food comes back into its mouth to be crushed again, may be used for food.

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:8 @And the pig is unclean to you, because though it has a division in the horn of its foot, its food does not come back; their flesh may not be used for food or their dead bodies touched by you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:9 @And of the things living in the waters, you may take all those who have wings for swimming with and skins formed of thin plates.

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:13 @The falcon and the kite, and birds of that sort;

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:16 @The little owl and the great owl and the water-hen;

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:21 @You may not have as food anything which has come to a natural death; the man from another country who is living with you may take it for food, or you may get a price for it from one of another nation; for you are a holy people to the Lord your God. The young goat is not to be cooked in its mother's milk.

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:24 @And if the way is so long that you are not able to take these things to the place marked out by the Lord your God for his name, when he has given you his blessing, because it is far away from you;

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:26 @And with the money get whatever you have a desire for, oxen or sheep or wine or strong drink, whatever your soul's desire may be: and make a feast there before the Lord your God, and be glad, you and all your house;

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:27 @And give a thought to the Levite who is living among you, for he has no part or heritage in the land.

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:28 @At the end of every three years take a tenth part of all your increase for that year, and put it in store inside your walls:

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:29 @And the Levite, because he has no part or heritage in the land, and the man from a strange country, and the child who has no father, and the widow, who are living among you, will come and take food and have enough; and so the blessing of the Lord your God will be on you in everything you do.

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:2 @This is how it is to be done: every creditor is to give up his right to whatever he has let his neighbour have; he is not to make his neighbour, his countryman, give it back; because a general forgiveness has been ordered by the Lord.

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:3 @A man of another nation may be forced to make payment of his debt, but if your brother has anything of yours, let it go;

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:4 @But there will be no poor among you; for the Lord will certainly give you his blessing in the land which the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage;

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:9 @And see that there is no evil thought in your heart, moving you to say to yourself, The seventh year, the year of forgiveness is near; and so looking coldly on your poor countryman you give him nothing; and he will make an outcry to the Lord against you, and it will be judged as sin in you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:10 @But it is right for you to give to him, without grief of heart: for because of this, the blessing of the Lord your God will be on all your work and on everything to which you put your hand.

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:13 @And when you make him free, do not let him go away with nothing in his hands:

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:16 @But if he says to you, I have no desire to go away from you; because you and your family are dear to him and he is happy with you;

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:17 @Then take a sharp-pointed instrument, driving it through his ear into the door, and he will be your servant for ever. And you may do the same for your servant-girl.

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:18 @Let it not seem hard to you that you have to send him away free; for he has been working for you for six years, which is twice the regular time for a servant: and the blessing of the Lord your God will be on you in everything you do.

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:20 @But year by year you and all your house are to take a meal of it before the Lord, in the place of his selection.

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:21 @But if it has any mark on it, if it is blind or has damaged legs, or if there is anything wrong with it, it may not be offered to the Lord your God.

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:22 @It may be used for food in your houses: the unclean and the clean may take of it, as of the gazelle and the roe.

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:23 @Only do not take its blood for food, but let it be drained out on the earth like water.

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:3 @Take no leavened bread with it; for seven days let your food be unleavened bread, that is, the bread of sorrow; for you came out of the land of Egypt quickly: so the memory of that day, when you came out of the land of Egypt, will be with you all your life.

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:7 @It is to be cooked and taken as food in the place marked out by the Lord: and in the morning you are to go back to your tents.

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:10 @Then keep the feast of weeks to the Lord your God, with an offering freely given to him from the wealth he has given you:

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:11 @Then you are to be glad before the Lord your God, you and your son and your daughter, your man-servant and your woman-servant, and the Levite who is with you, and the man from a strange country, and the child without a father, and the widow, who are living among you, in the place marked out by the Lord your God as a resting-place for his name.

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:14 @You are to keep the feast with joy, you and your son and your daughter, your man-servant and your woman-servant, and the Levite, and the man from a strange country, and the child without a father, and the widow, who are living among you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:16 @Three times in the year let all your males come before the Lord your God in the place named by him; at the feast of unleavened bread, the feast of weeks, and the feast of tents: and they are not to come before the Lord with nothing in their hands;

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:19 @You are not to be moved in your judging by a man's position, you are not to take rewards; for rewards make the eyes of the wise man blind, and the decisions of the upright false.

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:20 @Let righteousness be your guide, so that you may have life, and take for your heritage the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:17:1 @No ox or sheep which has a mark on it or is damaged in any way may be offered to the Lord your God: for that is disgusting to the Lord your God.

bbe@Deuteronomy:17:4 @If word of this comes to your ears, then let this thing be looked into with care, and if there is no doubt that it is true, and such evil has been done in Israel;

bbe@Deuteronomy:17:5 @Then you are to take the man or woman who has done the evil to the public place of your town, and they are to be stoned with stones till they are dead.

bbe@Deuteronomy:17:6 @On the word of two or three witnesses, a man may be given the punishment of death; but he is not to be put to death on the word of one witness.

bbe@Deuteronomy:17:7 @The hands of the witnesses will be the first to put him to death, and after them the hands of all the people. So you are to put away the evil from among you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:17:8 @If you are not able to give a decision as to who is responsible for a death, or who is right in a cause, or who gave the first blow in a fight, and there is a division of opinion about it in your town: then go to the place marked out by the Lord your God;

bbe@Deuteronomy:17:9 @And come before the priests, the Levites, or before him who is judge at the time: and they will go into the question and give you a decision:

bbe@Deuteronomy:17:11 @Acting in agreement with their teaching and the decision they give: not turning to one side or the other from the word they have given you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:17:13 @And all the people, hearing of it, will be full of fear and put away their pride.

bbe@Deuteronomy:17:14 @When you have come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, and have taken it for a heritage and are living in it, if it is your desire to have a king over you, like the other nations round about you;

bbe@Deuteronomy:17:18 @And when he has taken his place on the seat of his kingdom, he is to make in a book a copy of this law, from that which the priests, the Levites, have in their care:

bbe@Deuteronomy:17:19 @And it is to be with him for his reading all the days of his life, so that he may be trained in the fear of the Lord his God to keep and do all the words of this teaching and these laws:

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:1 @The priests, the Levites, that is, all the tribe of Levi, will have no part or heritage with Israel: their food and their heritage will be the offerings of the Lord made by fire.

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:2 @And they will have no heritage among their countrymen: the Lord is their heritage, as he has said to them.

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:4 @And in addition you are to give him the first of your grain and wine and oil, and the first wool cut from your sheep.

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:6 @And if a Levite, moved by a strong desire, comes from any town in all Israel where he is living to the place marked out by the Lord;

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:7 @Then he will do the work of a priest in the name of the Lord his God, with all his brothers the Levites who are there before the Lord.

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:8 @His food will be the same as theirs, in addition to what has come to him as the price of his property.

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:11 @Or anyone using secret force on people, or putting questions to a spirit, or having secret knowledge, or going to the dead for directions.

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:20 @But the prophet who takes it on himself to say words in my name which I have not given him orders to say, or who says anything in the name of other gods, will come to his death.

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:2 @You are to have three towns marked out in the land which the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:3 @You are to make ready a way, and see that the land which the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage, is marked out into three parts, to which any taker of life may go in flight.

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:5 @For example, if a man goes into the woods with his neighbour for the purpose of cutting down trees, and when he takes his axe to give a blow to the tree, the head of the axe comes off, and falling on to his neighbour gives him a wound causing his death; then the man may go in flight to one of these towns and be safe:

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:6 @For if not, he who has the right of punishment may go running after the taker of life in the heat of his wrath, and overtake him because the way is long, and give him a death-blow; though it is not right for him to be put to death because he was not moved by hate.

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:8 @And if the Lord your God makes wide the limits of your land, as he said in his oath to your fathers, and gives you all the land which he undertook to give to your fathers;

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:9 @If you keep and do all these orders which I give you today, loving the Lord your God and walking ever in his ways; then let three more towns, in addition to these three, be marked out for you:

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:10 @So that in all your land, which the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage, no man may be wrongly put to death, for which you will be responsible

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:11 @But if any man has hate for his neighbour, and waiting for him secretly makes an attack on him and gives him a blow causing his death, and then goes in flight to one of these towns;

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:13 @Have no pity on him, so that Israel may be clear from the crime of putting a man to death without cause, and it will be well for you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:14 @Your neighbour's landmark, which was put in its place by the men of old times, is not to be moved or taken away in the land of your heritage which the Lord your God is giving you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:15 @One witness may not make a statement against a man in relation to any sin or wrongdoing which he has done: on the word of two or three witnesses a question is to be judged.

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:16 @If a false witness makes a statement against a man, saying that he has done wrong,

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:18 @And the judges will have the question looked into with care: and if the witness is seen to be false and to have made a false statement against his brother,

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:19 @Then do to him what it was his purpose to do to his brother: and so put away the evil from among you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:20 @And the rest of the people, hearing of it, will be full of fear, and never again do such evil among you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:21 @Have no pity; let life be given for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:1 @When you go out to war against other nations, and come face to face with horses and war-carriages and armies greater in number than yourselves, have no fear of them: for the Lord your God is with you, who took you up out of the land of Egypt.

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:4 @For the Lord your God goes with you, fighting for you to give you salvation from those who are against you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:5 @And let the overseers say to the people, If there is any man who has made for himself a new house and has not gone into it, let him go back to his house, so that in the event of his death in the fight, another may not take his house for himself.

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:6 @Or if any man has made a vine-garden without taking the first-fruits of it, let him go back to his house, so that in the event of his death in the fight, another may not be the first to make use of the fruit.

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:7 @Or if any man is newly married and has had no sex relations with his wife, let him go back to his house, so that in the event of his death in the fight, another man may not take her.

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:8 @And let the overseers go on to say to the people, If there is any man whose heart is feeble with fear, let him go back to his house before he makes the hearts of his countrymen feeble.

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:10 @When you come to a town, before attacking it, make an offer of peace.

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:11 @And if it gives you back an answer of peace, opening its doors to you, then all the people in it may be put to forced work as your servants.

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:12 @If however it will not make peace with you, but war, then let it be shut in on all sides:

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:13 @And when the Lord your God has given it into your hands, let every male in it be put to death without mercy.

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:14 @But the women and the children and the cattle and everything in the town and all its wealth, you may take for yourselves: the wealth of your haters, which the Lord your God has given you, will be your food.

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:16 @But in the towns of these peoples whose land the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage, let no living thing be kept from death:

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:17 @Give them up to the curse; the Hittite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, as the Lord your God has given you orders:

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:19 @If in war a town is shut in by your armies for a long time, do not let its trees be cut down and made waste; for their fruit will be your food; are the trees of the countryside men for you to take up arms against them?

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:20 @Only those trees which you are certain are not used for food may be cut down and put to destruction: and you are to make walls of attack against the town till it is taken.

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:2 @Then your responsible men and your judges are to come out, and give orders for the distance from the dead body to the towns round about it to be measured;

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:7 @Will say, This death is not the work of our hands and our eyes have not seen it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:8 @Have mercy, O Lord, on your people Israel whom you have made free, and take away from your people the crime of a death without cause. Then they will no longer be responsible for the man's death.

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:9 @So you will take away the crime of a death without cause from among you, when you do what is right in the eyes of the Lord.

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:11 @If among the prisoners you see a beautiful woman and it is your desire to make her your wife;

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:16 @Then when he gives his property to his sons for their heritage, he is not to put the son of his loved one in the place of the first son, the son of the hated wife:

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:17 @But he is to give his first son his birthright, and twice as great a part of his property: for he is the first-fruits of his strength and the right of the first son is his.

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:21 @Then he is to be stoned to death by all the men of the town: so you are to put away the evil from among you; and all Israel, hearing of it, will be full of fear.

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:23 @Do not let his body be on the tree all night, but put it to rest in the earth the same day; for the man who undergoes hanging is cursed by God; so do not make unclean the land which the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:1 @If you see your brother's ox or his sheep wandering, do not go by without helping, but take them back to your brother.

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:2 @If their owner is not near, or if you are not certain who he is, then take the beast to your house and keep it till its owner comes in search of it, and then you are to give it back to him.

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:3 @Do the same with his ass or his robe or anything which has gone from your brother's keeping and which you have come across: do not keep it to yourself.

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:4 @If you see your brother's ox or his ass falling down on the road, do not go by without giving him help in lifting it up again.

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:5 @It is not right for a woman to be dressed in man's clothing, or for a man to put on a woman's robe: whoever does such things is disgusting to the Lord your God.

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:6 @If by chance you see a place which a bird has made for itself in a tree or on the earth, with young ones or eggs, and the mother bird seated on the young ones or on the eggs, do not take the mother bird with the young:

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:7 @See that you let the mother bird go, but the young ones you may take; so it will be well for you and your life will be long.

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:8 @If you are building a house, make a railing for the roof, so that the blood of any man falling from it will not come on your house.

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:9 @Do not have your vine-garden planted with two sorts of seed: or all of it may become a loss, the seed you have put in as well as the increase.

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:10 @Do not do your ploughing with an ox and an ass yoked together.

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:12 @On the four edges of your robe, with which your body is covered, put ornaments of twisted threads.

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:13 @If any man takes a wife, and having had connection with her, has no delight in her,

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:14 @And says evil things about her and gives her a bad name, saying, I took this woman, and when I had connection with her it was clear to me that she was not a virgin:

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:23 @If a young virgin has given her word to be married to a man, and another man meeting her in the town, has connection with her;

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:24 @Then you are to take the two of them to the doorway of the town, and have them stoned to death; the young virgin, because she gave no cry for help, though it was in the town, and the man, because he has put shame on his neighbour's wife: so you are to put away evil from among you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:26 @Nothing is to be done to the virgin, because there is no cause of death in her: it is the same as if a man made an attack on his neighbour and put him to death:

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:28 @If a man sees a young virgin, who has not given her word to be married to anyone, and he takes her by force and has connection with her, and discovery is made of it;

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:30 @A man may not take his father's wife or have sex relations with a woman who is his father's.

bbe@Deuteronomy:23:3 @No Ammonite or Moabite or any of their people to the tenth generation may come into the meeting of the Lord's people:

bbe@Deuteronomy:23:9 @When you go out to war and put your tents in position, keep from every evil thing.

bbe@Deuteronomy:23:10 @If any man among you becomes unclean through anything which has taken place in the night, he is to go out from the tent-circle and keep outside it:

bbe@Deuteronomy:23:13 @And have among your arms a spade; and when you have been to that place, let that which comes from you be covered up with earth:

bbe@Deuteronomy:23:19 @Do not take interest from an Israelite on anything, money or food or any other goods, which you let him have:

bbe@Deuteronomy:23:20 @From men of other nations you may take interest, but not from an Israelite: so that the blessing of the Lord your God may be on everything to which you put your hand, in the land which you are about to take as your heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:23:21 @When you take an oath to the Lord, do not be slow to give effect to it: for without doubt the Lord your God will make you responsible, and will put it to your account as sin.

bbe@Deuteronomy:23:23 @Whatever your lips have said, see that you do it; for you gave your word freely to the Lord your God.

bbe@Deuteronomy:23:25 @When you go into your neighbour's field, you may take the heads of grain with your hand; but you may not put your blade to his grain.

bbe@Deuteronomy:24:1 @If a man takes a wife, and after they are married she is unpleasing to him because of some bad quality in her, let him give her a statement in writing and send her away from his house.

bbe@Deuteronomy:24:3 @And if the second husband has no love for her and, giving her a statement in writing, sends her away; or if death comes to the second husband to whom she was married;

bbe@Deuteronomy:24:4 @Her first husband, who had sent her away, may not take her back after she has been wife to another; for that is disgusting to the Lord: and you are not to be a cause of sin in the land which the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:24:5 @A newly married man will not have to go out with the army or undertake any business, but may be free for one year, living in his house for the comfort of his wife.

bbe@Deuteronomy:24:6 @No one is to take, on account of a debt, the stones with which grain is crushed: for in doing so he takes a man's living.

bbe@Deuteronomy:24:8 @In connection with the leper's disease, take care to keep and do every detail of the teaching of the priests, the Levites: as I gave them orders, so you are to do.

bbe@Deuteronomy:24:11 @But keep outside till he comes out and gives it to you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:24:13 @But be certain to give it back to him when the sun goes down, so that he may have his clothing for sleeping in, and will give you his blessing: and this will be put to your account as righteousness before the Lord your God.

bbe@Deuteronomy:24:14 @Do not be hard on a servant who is poor and in need, if he is one of your countrymen or a man from another nation living with you in your land.

bbe@Deuteronomy:24:15 @Give him his payment day by day, not keeping it back over night; for he is poor and his living is dependent on it; and if his cry against you comes to the ears of the Lord, it will be judged as sin in you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:24:19 @When you get in the grain from your field, if some of the grain has been dropped by chance in the field, do not go back and get it, but let it be for the man from a strange land, the child without a father, and the widow: so that the blessing of the Lord your God may be on all the work of your hands.

bbe@Deuteronomy:24:20 @When you are shaking the fruit from your olive-trees, do not go over the branches a second time: let some be for the man from a strange land, the child without a father, and the widow

bbe@Deuteronomy:24:21 @When you are pulling the grapes from your vines, do not take up those which have been dropped; let them be for the man from a strange land, the child without a father, and the widow.

bbe@Deuteronomy:25:1 @If there is an argument between men and they go to law with one another, let the judges give their decision for the upright, and against the wrongdoer.

bbe@Deuteronomy:25:4 @Do not keep the ox from taking the grain when he is crushing it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:25:5 @If brothers are living together and one of them, at his death, has no son, the wife of the dead man is not to be married outside the family to another man: let her husband's brother go in to her and make her his wife, doing as it is right for a brother-in-law to do.

bbe@Deuteronomy:25:7 @But if the man says he will not take his brother's wife, then let the wife go to the responsible men of the town, and say, My husband's brother will not keep his brother's name living in Israel; he will not do what it is right for a husband's brother to do.

bbe@Deuteronomy:25:8 @Then the responsible men of the town will send for the man, and have talk with him: and if he still says, I will not take her;

bbe@Deuteronomy:25:12 @Her hand is to be cut off; have no pity on her.

bbe@Deuteronomy:25:18 @How, meeting you on the way, he made an attack on you when you were tired and without strength, cutting off all the feeble ones at the end of your line; and the fear of God was not in him.

bbe@Deuteronomy:25:19 @So when the Lord your God has given you rest from all who are against you on every side, in the land which the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage, see to it that the memory of Amalek is cut off from the earth; keep this in mind.

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:1 @Now when you have come into the land which the Lord is giving you for your heritage, and you have made it yours and are living in it;

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:2 @You are to take a part of the first-fruits of the earth, which you get from the land which the Lord your God is giving you, and put it in a basket, and go to the place marked out by the Lord your God, as the resting-place of his name.

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:3 @And you are to come to him who is priest at that time, and say to him, I give witness today before the Lord your God, that I have come into the land which the Lord made an oath to our fathers to give us.

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:4 @Then the priest will take the basket from your hand and put it down in front of the altar of the Lord your God.

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:5 @And these are the words which you will say before the Lord your God: My father was a wandering Aramaean, and he went down with a small number of people into Egypt; there he became a great and strong nation:

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:8 @And the Lord took us out of Egypt with a strong hand and a stretched-out arm, with works of power and signs and wonders:

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:9 @And he has been our guide to this place, and has given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:10 @So now, I have come here with the first of the fruits of the earth which you, O Lord, have given me. Then you will put it down before the Lord your God and give him worship:

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:11 @And you will have joy in every good thing which the Lord your God has given to you and to your family; and the Levite, and the man from a strange land who is with you, will take part in your joy

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:12 @When you have taken out a tenth from the tenth of all your produce in the third year, which is the year when this has to be done, give it to the Levite, and the man from a strange land, and the child without a father, and the widow, so that they may have food in your towns and be full;

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:13 @And say before the Lord your God, I have taken all the holy things out of my house and have given them to the Levite, and the man from a strange land, and him who has no father, and the widow, as you have given me orders: I have kept in mind all your orders, in nothing have I gone against them:

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:15 @So, looking down from your holy place in heaven, send your blessing on your people Israel and on the land which you have given us, as you said in your oath to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:16 @Today the Lord your God gives you orders to keep all these laws and decisions: so then keep and do them with all your heart and all your soul.

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:17 @Today you have given witness that the Lord is your God, and that you will go in his ways and keep his laws and his orders and his decisions and give ear to his voice:

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:18 @And the Lord has made it clear this day that you are a special people to him, as he gave you his word; and that you are to keep all his orders;

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:2 @And on the day when you go over Jordan into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, put up great stones, coating them with building-paste,

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:3 @And writing on them all the words of this law, after you have gone over; so that you may take the heritage which the Lord your God is giving you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as the Lord, the God of your fathers, has said.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:4 @And when you have gone over Jordan, you are to put up these stones, as I have said to you today, in Mount Ebal, and have them coated with building-paste.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:6 @You are to make the altar of the Lord your God of uncut stones; offering on it burned offerings to the Lord your God:

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:7 @And you are to make your peace-offerings, feasting there with joy before the Lord your God.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:8 @And put on the stones all the words of this law, writing them very clearly.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:9 @Then Moses and the priests, the Levites, said to all Israel, Be quiet and give ear, O Israel; today you have become the people of the Lord your God.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:14 @Then the Levites are to say in a loud voice to all the men of Israel,

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:15 @Cursed is the man who makes any image of wood or stone or metal, disgusting to the Lord, the work of man's hands, and puts it up in secret. And let all the people say, So be it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:16 @Cursed is he who does not give honour to his father or mother. And let all the people say, So be it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:17 @Cursed is he who takes his neighbour's landmark from its place. And let all the people say, So be it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:18 @Cursed is he by whom the blind are turned out of the way. And let all the people say, So be it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:19 @Cursed is he who gives a wrong decision in the cause of a man from a strange land, or of one without a father, or of a widow. And let all the people say, So be it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:20 @Cursed is he who has sex relations with his father's wife, for he has put shame on his father. And let all the people say, So be it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:21 @Cursed is he who has sex relations with any sort of beast. And let all the people say, So be it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:22 @Cursed is he who has sex relations with his sister, the daughter of his father or of his mother. And let all the people say, So be it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:23 @Cursed is he who has sex relations with his mother-in-law. And let all the people say, So be it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:24 @Cursed is he who takes his neighbour's life secretly. And let all the people say, So be it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:25 @Cursed is he who for a reward puts to death one who has done no wrong. And let all the people say, So be it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:26 @Cursed is he who does not take this law to heart to do it. And let all the people say, So be it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:1 @Now if you give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, and keep with care all these orders which I have given you today, then the Lord your God will put you high over all the nations of the earth:

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:4 @A blessing will be on the fruit of your body, and on the fruit of your land, on the fruit of your cattle, the increase of your herd, and the young of your flock.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:11 @And the Lord will make you fertile in every good thing, in the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your cattle, and the fruit of your fields, in the land which the Lord, by his oath to your fathers, said he would give you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:18 @A curse will be on the fruit of your body, and on the fruit of your land, on the increase of your cattle, and the young of your flock.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:22 @The Lord will send wasting disease, and burning pain, and flaming heat against you, keeping back the rain till your land is waste and dead; so will it be till your destruction is complete.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:24 @The Lord will make the rain of your land powder and dust, sending it down on you from heaven till your destruction is complete.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:28 @He will make your minds diseased, and your eyes blind, and your hearts wasted with fear:

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:30 @You will take a wife, but another man will have the use of her: the house which your hands have made will never be your resting-place: you will make a vine-garden, and never take the fruit of it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:31 @Your ox will be put to death before your eyes, but its flesh will not be your food: your ass will be violently taken away before your face, and will not be given back to you: your sheep will be given to your haters, and there will be no saviour for you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:32 @Your sons and your daughters will be given to another people, and your eyes will be wasted away with looking and weeping for them all the day: and you will have no power to do anything.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:33 @The fruit of your land and all the work of your hands will be food for a nation which is strange to you and to your fathers; you will only be crushed down and kept under for ever:

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:38 @You will take much seed out into the field, and get little in; for the locust will get it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:40 @Your land will be full of olive-trees, but there will be no oil for the comfort of your body; for your olive-tree will give no fruit.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:42 @All your trees and the fruit of your land will be the locust's.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:47 @Because you did not give honour to the Lord your God, worshipping him gladly, with joy in your hearts on account of all your wealth of good things;

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:48 @For this cause you will become servants to those whom the Lord your God will send against you, without food and drink and clothing, and in need of all things: and he will put a yoke of iron on your neck till he has put an end to you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:49 @The Lord will send a nation against you from the farthest ends of the earth, coming with the flight of an eagle; a nation whose language is strange to you;

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:51 @He will take the fruit of your cattle and of your land till death puts an end to you: he will let you have nothing of your grain or wine or oil or any of the increase of your cattle or the young of your flock, till he has made your destruction complete.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:52 @Your towns will be shut in by his armies, till your high walls, in which you put your faith, have come down: his armies will be round your towns, through all your land which the Lord your God has given you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:53 @And your food will be the fruit of your body, the flesh of the sons and daughters which the Lord your God has given you; because of your bitter need and the cruel grip of your haters.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:57 @And to her baby newly come to birth, and to the children of her body; for having no other food, she will make a meal of them secretly, because of her bitter need and the cruel grip of your haters on all your towns.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:63 @And as the Lord took delight in doing you good and increasing you, so the Lord will take pleasure in cutting you off and causing your destruction, and you will be uprooted from the land which you are about to take as your heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:66 @Your very life will be hanging in doubt before you, and day and night will be dark with fears, and nothing in life will be certain:

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:67 @In the morning you will say, If only it was evening! And at evening you will say, If only morning would come! Because of the fear in your hearts and the things which your eyes will see.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:68 @And the Lord will take you back to Egypt again in ships, by the way of which I said to you, You will never see it again: there you will be offering yourselves as men-servants and women-servants to your haters for a price, and no man will take you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:1 @These are the words of the agreement which Moses was ordered by the Lord to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, in addition to the agreement which he made with them in Horeb.

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:8 @And we took their land and gave it to the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, for their heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:9 @So keep the words of this agreement and do them, so that it may be well for you in everything you do.

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:11 @And your little ones, your wives, and the men of other lands who are with you in your tents, down to the wood-cutter and the servant who gets water for you:

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:12 @With the purpose of taking part in the agreement of the Lord your God, and his oath which he makes with you today:

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:14 @And not with you only do I make this agreement and this oath;

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:15 @But with everyone who is here with us today before the Lord our God, as well as with those who are not here:

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:18 @So that there may not be among you any man or woman or family or tribe whose heart is turned away from the Lord our God today, to go after other gods and give them worship; or any root among you whose fruit is poison and bitter sorrow;

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:20 @The Lord will have no mercy on him, but the wrath of the Lord will be burning against that man, and all the curses recorded in this book will be waiting for him, and the Lord will take away his name completely from the earth.

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:21 @He will be marked out by the Lord, from all the tribes of Israel, for an evil fate, in keeping with all the curses of the agreement recorded in this book of the law.

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:22 @And future generations, your children coming after you, and travellers from far countries, will say, when they see the punishments of that land and the diseases which the Lord has sent on it;

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:23 @And that all the land is a salt and smoking waste, not planted or giving fruit or clothed with grass, but wasted like Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, on which the Lord sent destruction in the heat of his wrath:

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:25 @Then men will say, Because they gave up the agreement of the Lord, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he took them out of the land of Egypt:

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:27 @And so the wrath of the Lord was moved against this land, to send on it all the curse recorded in this book:

bbe@Deuteronomy:30:2 @And your hearts are turned again to the Lord your God, and you give ear to his word which I give you today, you and your children, with all your heart and with all your soul:

bbe@Deuteronomy:30:3 @Then the Lord will have pity on you, changing your fate, and taking you back again from among all the nations where you have been forced to go.

bbe@Deuteronomy:30:5 @Placing you again in the land of your fathers as your heritage; and he will do you good, increasing you till you are more in number than your fathers were.

bbe@Deuteronomy:30:6 @And the Lord your God will give to you and to your seed a circumcision of the heart, so that, loving him with all your heart and all your soul, you may have life.

bbe@Deuteronomy:30:9 @And the Lord your God will make you fertile in all good things, blessing the work of your hands, and the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your cattle, and the fruit of your land: for the Lord will have joy in you, as he had in your fathers:

bbe@Deuteronomy:30:18 @I give witness against you this day that destruction will certainly be your fate, and your days will be cut short in the land where you are going, the land of your heritage on the other side of Jordan.

bbe@Deuteronomy:30:19 @Let heaven and earth be my witnesses against you this day that I have put before you life and death, a blessing and a curse: so take life for yourselves and for your seed:

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:3 @The Lord your God, he will go over before you; he will send destruction on all those nations, and you will take their land as your heritage: and Joshua will go over at your head as the Lord has said.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:4 @The Lord will do to them as he did to Sihon and to Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land, whom he put to destruction.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:6 @Be strong and take heart, and have no fear of them: for it is the Lord your God who is going with you; he will not take away his help from you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:7 @Then Moses sent for Joshua, and before the eyes of all Israel said to him, Be strong and take heart: for you are to go with this people into the land which the Lord, by his oath to their fathers, has given them; by your help they will take it for their heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:8 @It is the Lord who goes before you; he will be with you, he will not take away his help from you or give you up: so have no fear.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:9 @Then Moses put all this law in writing, and gave it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who take up the ark of the Lord's agreement, and to all the responsible men of Israel.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:12 @Make all the people come together, men and women and children, and anyone from another country who is with you, so that hearing they may become wise in the fear of the Lord your God, and take care to do all the words of this law;

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:13 @And so that your children, to whom it is new, may give ear and be trained in the fear of the Lord your God, while you are living in the land which you are going over Jordan to take for your heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:16 @And the Lord said to Moses, Now you are going to rest with your fathers; and this people will be false to me, uniting themselves to the strange gods of the land where they are going; they will be turned away from me and will not keep the agreement I have made with them.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:17 @In that day my wrath will be moved against them, and I will be turned away from them, veiling my face from them, and destruction will overtake them, and unnumbered evils and troubles will come on them; so that in that day they will say, Have not these evils come on us because our God is not with us?

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:19 @Make then this song for yourselves, teaching it to the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, so that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:20 @For when I have taken them into the land named in my oath to their fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey, and they have made themselves full of food and are fat, then they will be turned to other gods and will give them worship, no longer honouring me or keeping my agreement.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:21 @Then when evils and troubles without number have overtaken them, this song will be a witness to them, for the words of it will be clear in the memories of their children: for I see the thoughts which are moving in their hearts even now, before I have taken them into the land of my oath

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:22 @So that same day Moses made this song, teaching it to the children of Israel.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:23 @Then he gave orders to Joshua, the son of Nun, saying to him, Be strong and take heart: for you are to go at the head of the children of Israel into the land which I made an oath to give them; and I will be with you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:24 @Now after writing all the words of this law in a book till the record of them was complete,

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:25 @Moses said to the Levites who were responsible for taking up the ark of the Lord's agreement,

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:26 @Take this book of the law and put it by the ark of the Lord's agreement, so that it may be a witness against you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:28 @Get together before me all those who are in authority in your tribes, and your overseers, so that I may say these things in their hearing, and make heaven and earth my witnesses against them.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:4 @He is the Rock, complete is his work; for all his ways are righteousness: a God without evil who keeps faith, true and upright is he.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:7 @Keep in mind the days of the past, give thought to the years of generations gone by: go to your father and he will make it clear to you, to the old men and they will give you the story.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:8 @When the Most High gave the nations their heritage, separating into groups the children of men, he had the limits of the peoples marked out, keeping in mind the number of the children of Israel.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:9 @For the Lord's wealth is his people; Jacob is the land of his heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:11 @As an eagle, teaching her young to make their flight, with her wings outstretched over them, takes them up on her strong feathers:

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:12 @So the Lord only was his guide, no other god was with him.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:14 @Butter from his cows and milk from his sheep, with fat of lambs and sheep of Bashan, and goats, and the heart of the grain; and for your drink, wine from the blood of the grape.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:17 @They made offerings to evil spirits which were not God, to gods who were strange to them, which had newly come up, not feared by your fathers.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:19 @And the Lord saw with disgust the evil-doing of his sons and daughters.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:20 @And he said, My face will be veiled from them, I will see what their end will be: for they are an uncontrolled generation, children in whom is no faith.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:21 @They have given my honour to that which is not God, moving me to wrath with their false worship: I will give their honour to those who are not a people, moving them to wrath by a foolish nation,

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:22 @For my wrath is a flaming fire, burning to the deep parts of the underworld, burning up the earth with her increase, and firing the deep roots of the mountains.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:24 @They will be wasted from need of food, and overcome by burning heat and bitter destruction; and the teeth of beasts I will send on them, with the poison of the worms of the dust.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:28 @For they are a nation without wisdom; there is no sense in them.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:30 @How would it be possible for one to overcome a thousand, and two to send ten thousand in flight, if their rock had not let them go, if the Lord had not given them up?

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:32 @For their vine is the vine of Sodom, from the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are the grapes of evil, and the berries are bitter:

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:36 @For the Lord will be judge of his people, he will have pity for his servants; when he sees that their power is gone, there is no one, shut up or free.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:37 @And he will say, Where are their gods, the rock in which they put their faith?

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:42 @I will make my arrows red with blood, my sword will be feasting on flesh, with the blood of the dead and the prisoners, of the long-haired heads of my haters.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:47 @And this is no small thing for you, but it is your life, and through this you may make your days long in the land which you are going over Jordan to take for your heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:49 @Go up into this mountain of Abarim, to Mount Nebo in the land of Moab opposite Jericho; there you may see the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the children of Israel for their heritage:

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:50 @And let death come to you on the mountain where you are going, and be put to rest with your people; as death came to Aaron, your brother, on Mount Hor, where he was put to rest with his people:

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:4 @Moses gave us a law, a heritage for the people of Jacob.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:7 @And this is the blessing of Judah: he said, Give ear, O Lord, to the voice of Judah and make him one with his people: let your hands take up his cause, and be his help against his attackers.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:8 @And of Levi he said, Give your Thummim to Levi and let the Urim be with your loved one, whom you put to the test at Massah, with whom you were angry at the waters of Meribah;

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:14 @And the good things of the fruits of the sun, and the good things of the growth of the moons,

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:16 @The good things of the earth and all its wealth, the good pleasure of him who was seen in the burning tree: may they come on the head of Joseph, on the head of him who was prince among his brothers.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:17 @He is a young ox, glory is his; his horns are the horns of the mountain ox, with which all peoples will be wounded, even to the ends of the earth: they are the ten thousands of Ephraim and the thousands of Manasseh.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:20 @Of Gad he said, A blessing be on him who makes wide the limits of Gad: he takes his rest like a she-lion, taking for himself the arm and the crown of the head.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:23 @And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, made glad with grace and full of the blessing of the Lord: the sea and its fishes will be his.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:24 @And of Asher he said, Let Asher have the blessing of children; may he be pleasing to his brothers, and let his foot be wet with oil.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:28 @And Israel is living in peace, the fountain of Jacob by himself, in a land of grain and wine, with dew dropping from the heavens.

bbe@Deuteronomy:34:4 @And the Lord said to him, This is the land about which I made an oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, I will give it to your seed: now I have let you see it with your eyes, but you will not go in there.

bbe@Deuteronomy:34:6 @And the Lord put him to rest in the valley in the land of Moab opposite Beth-peor: but no man has knowledge of his resting-place to this day.

bbe@Deuteronomy:34:9 @And Joshua, the son of Nun, was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had put his hands on him: and the children of Israel gave ear to him, and did as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

bbe@Joshua:1:4 @From the waste land and this mountain Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates, and all the land of the Hittites to the Great Sea, in the west, will be your country.

bbe@Joshua:1:5 @While you are living, all will give way before you: as I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will not take away my help from you or give you up.

bbe@Joshua:1:6 @Take heart and be strong; for you will give to this people for their heritage the land which I gave by an oath to their fathers.

bbe@Joshua:1:7 @Only take heart and be very strong; take care to do all the law which Moses my servant gave you, not turning from it to the right hand or to the left, so that you may do well in all your undertakings.

bbe@Joshua:1:8 @Let this book of the law be ever on your lips and in your thoughts day and night, so that you may keep with care everything in it; then a blessing will be on all your way, and you will do well.

bbe@Joshua:1:9 @Have I not given you your orders? Take heart and be strong; have no fear and do not be troubled; for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go,

bbe@Joshua:1:10 @Then Joshua gave their orders to those who were in authority over the people, saying,

bbe@Joshua:1:11 @Go through the tents and give orders to the people, saying, Get ready a store of food; for in three days you are to go over this river Jordan and take for your heritage the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

bbe@Joshua:1:12 @And to the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, Joshua said,

bbe@Joshua:1:14 @Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle will be kept here in the land which Moses gave you on this side of Jordan; but you, the fighting-men, are to go over before your brothers, armed, to give them help;

bbe@Joshua:1:15 @Till the Lord has given your brothers rest, as he has given it to you, and they have taken their heritage in the land which the Lord your God is giving them: then you will go back to the land of your heritage which Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave you on the east side of Jordan.

bbe@Joshua:1:17 @As we gave attention to Moses in all things, so we will give attention to you: and may the Lord your God be with you as he was with Moses.

bbe@Joshua:2:1 @Then Joshua, the son of Nun, sent two men from Shittim secretly, with the purpose of searching out the land, and Jericho. So they went and came to the house of a loose woman of the town, named Rahab, where they took their rest for the night.

bbe@Joshua:2:2 @And it was said to the king of Jericho, See, some men have come here tonight from the children of Israel with the purpose of searching out the land.

bbe@Joshua:2:3 @Then the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, Send out the men who have come to you and are in your house; for they have come with the purpose of searching out all the land.

bbe@Joshua:2:5 @And when it was the time for shutting the doors at dark, they went out; I have no idea where the men went: but if you go after them quickly, you will overtake them.

bbe@Joshua:2:6 @But she had taken them up to the roof, covering them with the stems of flax which she had put out in order there.

bbe@Joshua:2:9 @And said to them, It is clear to me that the Lord has given you the land, and that the fear of you has come on us;

bbe@Joshua:2:10 @For we have had news of how the Lord made the Red Sea dry before you when you came out of Egypt; and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites, on the other side of Jordan, to Sihon and Og, whom you gave up to the curse.

bbe@Joshua:2:11 @And because of this news, our hearts became like water, and there was no more spirit in any of us because of you; for the Lord your God is God in heaven on high and here on earth.

bbe@Joshua:2:14 @And the men said to her, Our life for yours if you keep our business secret; and when the Lord has given us the land, we will keep faith and be kind to you.

bbe@Joshua:2:21 @And she said, Let it be as you say. Then she sent them away, and they went; and she put the bright red cord in the window.

bbe@Joshua:2:22 @And they went into the hill-country and were there three days, till the men who had gone after them had come back; and those who went after them were searching for them everywhere without coming across them.

bbe@Joshua:3:1 @Then Joshua got up early in the morning, and, moving on from Shittim, he and all the children of Israel came to Jordan and were there for the night before going over.

bbe@Joshua:3:2 @And at the end of three days, the men in authority over the people went through the tents,

bbe@Joshua:3:3 @Giving the people their orders, and saying, When you see the ark of the agreement of the Lord your God lifted up by the priests, the Levites, then get up from your places and go after it;

bbe@Joshua:3:4 @But let there be a space between you and it of about two thousand cubits: come no nearer to it, so that you may see the way you have to go, for you have not been over this way before.

bbe@Joshua:3:7 @And the Lord said to Joshua, From now on I will give you glory in the eyes of all Israel, so that they may see that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with you.

bbe@Joshua:3:10 @And Joshua said, By this you will see that the living God is among you, and that he will certainly send out from before you the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Hivite and the Perizzite and the Girgashite and the Amorite and the Jebusite

bbe@Joshua:3:16 @Then the waters flowing down from higher up were stopped and came together in a mass a long way back at Adam, a town near Zarethan; and the waters flowing down to the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, were cut off: and the people went across opposite Jericho.

bbe@Joshua:3:17 @And the priests who took up the ark of the agreement of the Lord kept their places, with their feet on dry land in the middle of Jordan, while all Israel went over on dry land, till all the nation had gone over Jordan.

bbe@Joshua:4:3 @And say to them, Take up from the middle of Jordan, from the place where the feet of the priests were resting, twelve stones, and take them over with you and put them down in the place where you take your rest tonight.

bbe@Joshua:4:7 @Then you will say to them, Because the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the Lord's agreement; when it went over Jordan the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these stones will be a sign for the children of Israel, keeping it in their memory for ever.

bbe@Joshua:4:8 @So the children of Israel did as Joshua gave them orders, and took twelve stones from the middle of Jordan, as the Lord had said to Joshua, one for every tribe of the children of Israel; these they took across with them to their night's resting-place and put them down there.

bbe@Joshua:4:16 @Give orders to the priests who take up the ark of witness, to come up out of Jordan.

bbe@Joshua:4:18 @And when the priests who took up the ark of the Lord's agreement came up out of Jordan and their feet came out on to dry land, the waters of Jordan went back to their place, overflowing its edges as before.

bbe@Joshua:4:23 @For the Lord your God made the waters of Jordan dry before you till you had gone across, as he did to the Red Sea, drying it up before us till we had gone across:

bbe@Joshua:5:1 @Now when the news came to all the kings of the Amorites on the west side of Jordan, and all the kings of the Canaanites living by the sea, how the Lord had made the waters of Jordan dry before the children of Israel, till they had gone across, their hearts became like water, and there was no more spirit in them, because of the children of Israel.

bbe@Joshua:5:6 @For the children of Israel were wandering in the waste land for forty years, till all the nation, that is, all the fighting-men, who had come out of Egypt, were dead, because they did not give ear to the voice of the Lord: to whom the Lord said, with an oath, that he would not let them see the land which the Lord had given his word to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

bbe@Joshua:5:7 @And their children, who came up in their place, now underwent circumcision by the hands of Joshua, not having had it before: for there had been no circumcision on the journey.

bbe@Joshua:5:13 @Now when Joshua was near Jericho, lifting up his eyes he saw a man in front of him, with his sword uncovered in his hand: and Joshua went up to him and said, Are you for us or against us?

bbe@Joshua:5:14 @And he said, No; but I have come as captain of the armies of the Lord. Then Joshua, falling down with his face to the earth in worship, said, What has my lord to say to his servant?

bbe@Joshua:6:2 @And the Lord said to Joshua, See, I have given into your hands Jericho with its king and all its men of war.

bbe@Joshua:6:3 @Now let all your fighting-men make a circle round the town, going all round it once. Do this for six days.

bbe@Joshua:6:4 @And let seven priests go before the ark with seven loud-sounding horns in their hands: on the seventh day you are to go round the town seven times, the priests blowing their horns.

bbe@Joshua:6:8 @So after Joshua had said this to the people, the seven priests with their seven horns went forward before the Lord, blowing on their horns: and the ark of the Lord's agreement went after them.

bbe@Joshua:6:13 @And the seven priests with their seven horns went on before the ark of the Lord, blowing their horns: the armed men went before them, and the mass of the people went after the ark of the Lord, blowing their horns.

bbe@Joshua:6:15 @Then on the seventh day they got up early, at the dawn of the day, and went round the town in the same way, but that day they went round it seven times.

bbe@Joshua:6:17 @And the town will be put to the curse, and everything in it will be given to the Lord: only Rahab, the loose woman, and all who are in the house with her, will be kept safe, because she kept secret the men we sent.

bbe@Joshua:6:18 @And as for you, keep yourselves from the cursed thing, for fear that you may get a desire for it and take some of it for yourselves, and so be the cause of a curse and great trouble on the tents of Israel.

bbe@Joshua:6:21 @And they put everything in the town to the curse; men and women, young and old, ox and sheep and ass, they put to death without mercy.

bbe@Joshua:6:22 @Then Joshua said to the two men who had been sent to make a search through the land, Go into the house of the loose woman, and get her out, and all who are with her, as you gave her your oath.

bbe@Joshua:6:24 @Then, after burning up the town and everything in it, they put the silver and gold and the vessels of brass and iron into the store-house of the Lord's house.

bbe@Joshua:6:26 @Then Joshua gave the people orders with an oath, saying, Let that man be cursed before the Lord who puts his hand to the building up of this town: with the loss of his first son will he put the first stone of it in place, and with the loss of his youngest son he will put up its doors.

bbe@Joshua:6:27 @So the Lord was with Joshua; and news of him went through all the land.

bbe@Joshua:7:3 @Then they came back to Joshua and said to him, Do not send all the people up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and make an attack on Ai; there is no need for all the people to be tired with the journey there, for it is only a small town.

bbe@Joshua:7:6 @Then Joshua, in great grief, went down on the earth before the ark of the Lord till the evening, and all the chiefs of Israel with him, and they put dust on their heads.

bbe@Joshua:7:7 @And Joshua said, O Lord God, why have you taken us over Jordan only to give us up into the hands of the Amorites for our destruction? If only it had been enough for us to keep on the other side of Jordan!

bbe@Joshua:7:9 @For when the news comes to the Canaanites and all the people of the land, they will come up, shutting us in and cutting off our name from the earth: and what will you do for the honour of your great name?

bbe@Joshua:7:10 @Then the Lord said to Joshua, Get up; what are you doing with your face to the earth?

bbe@Joshua:7:11 @Israel has done wrong, sinning against the agreement which I made with them: they have even taken of the cursed thing; acting falsely like thieves they have put it among their goods.

bbe@Joshua:7:12 @For this reason the children of Israel have given way, turning their backs in flight before their attackers, because they are cursed: I will no longer be with you, if you do not put the cursed thing away from among you.

bbe@Joshua:7:15 @Then the man who is taken with the cursed thing is to be burned, with everything which is his; because he has gone against the agreement of the Lord and has done an act of shame in Israel.

bbe@Joshua:7:17 @Then he made Judah come forward, and the family of the Zerahites was taken; and he made the family of the Zerahites come forward man by man; and Zabdi was taken;

bbe@Joshua:7:21 @When I saw among their goods a fair robe of Babylon and two hundred shekels of silver, and a mass of gold, fifty shekels in weight, I was overcome by desire and took them; and they are put away in the earth in my tent, and the silver is under it.

bbe@Joshua:7:22 @So Joshua sent men quickly, and looking in his tent, they saw where the robe had been put away secretly with the silver under it.

bbe@Joshua:7:23 @And they took them from the tent and came back with them to Joshua and the children of Israel, and put them before the Lord.

bbe@Joshua:7:25 @And Joshua said, Why have you been a cause of trouble to us? Today the Lord will send trouble on you. And all Israel took part in stoning him; they had him stoned to death and then burned with fire.

bbe@Joshua:8:1 @Then the Lord said to Joshua, Have no fear and do not be troubled: take with you all the fighting-men and go up against Ai: for I have given into your hands the king of Ai and his people and his town and his land:

bbe@Joshua:8:2 @And you are to do to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho and its king: but their goods and their cattle you may take for yourselves: let a secret force be stationed to make a surprise attack on the town from the back.

bbe@Joshua:8:4 @And he gave them their orders, saying, Go and take up your position secretly at the back of the town: do not go very far away, and let all of you be ready:

bbe@Joshua:8:5 @And I and all the people with me will come near the town, and when they come out against us as they did before, we will go in flight from them;

bbe@Joshua:8:7 @Then you will get up from your secret position and take the town, for the Lord your God will give it up into your hands.

bbe@Joshua:8:8 @And when you have taken the town, put fire to it, as the Lord has said: see, I have given you your orders.

bbe@Joshua:8:9 @So Joshua sent them out: and they took up a secret position between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but Joshua kept with the people that night.

bbe@Joshua:8:11 @And all the fighting-men who were with him went up and came near the town, and took up a position on the north side of Ai facing the town, with a valley between him and the town.

bbe@Joshua:8:12 @And taking about five thousand men, he put them in position for a surprise attack on the west side of Ai, between Beth-el and Ai.

bbe@Joshua:8:14 @Now when the king of Ai saw it, he got up quickly and went out to war against Israel, he and all his people, to the slope going down to the valley; but he had no idea that a secret force was waiting at the back of the town.

bbe@Joshua:8:18 @And the Lord said to Joshua, Let your spear be stretched out against Ai; for I will give it into your hands

bbe@Joshua:8:19 @Then the secret force came quickly from their place, and running forward when they saw his hand stretched out, went into the town and took it, and put fire to it straight away.

bbe@Joshua:8:22 @Then the other force came out of the town against them, so that they were being attacked on this side and on that: and Israel overcame them and let not one of them get away with his life.

bbe@Joshua:8:24 @Then, after the destruction of all the people of Ai in the field and in the waste land where they went after them, and when all the people had been put to death without mercy, all Israel went back to Ai, and put to death all who were in it without mercy.

bbe@Joshua:8:26 @For Joshua did not take back his hand with the outstretched spear till the destruction of the people of Ai was complete.

bbe@Joshua:8:28 @So Joshua gave Ai to the flames, and made it a waste mass of stones for ever, as it is to this day.

bbe@Joshua:8:29 @And he put the king of Ai to death, hanging him on a tree till evening: and when the sun went down, Joshua gave them orders to take his body down from the tree, and put it in the public place of the town, covering it with a great mass of stones, which is there to this day.

bbe@Joshua:8:31 @In the way ordered by Moses, the servant of the Lord, as it is recorded in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of uncut stones, untouched by any iron instrument: and on it they made burned offerings and peace-offerings to the Lord.

bbe@Joshua:8:32 @And he made there on the stones a copy of the law of Moses, writing it before the eyes of the children of Israel.

bbe@Joshua:8:33 @And all Israel, those who were Israelites by birth, as well as the men from other lands living with them, and their responsible men and their overseers and judges, took their places round the ark, in front of the priests, the Levites, whose work it was to take up the ark of the Lord's agreement; half of them were stationed in front of Mount Gerizim and half in front of Mount Ebal, in agreement with the orders for the blessing of the children of Israel which Moses, the servant of the Lord, had given.

bbe@Joshua:8:34 @And after, he gave them all the words of the law, the blessing and the curse, as it is all recorded in the book of the law;

bbe@Joshua:8:35 @Reading to all the meeting of Israel, with the women and the children and the men from other lands who were living among them, every word of the orders which Moses had given.

bbe@Joshua:9:1 @Now on hearing the news of these things, all the kings on the west side of Jordan, in the hill-country and the lowlands and by the Great Sea in front of Lebanon, the Hittites and the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites,

bbe@Joshua:9:2 @Came together with one purpose, to make war against Joshua and Israel.

bbe@Joshua:9:4 @Acting with deceit, got food together as if for a long journey; and took old food-bags for their asses, and old and cracked wine-skins kept together with cord;

bbe@Joshua:9:5 @And put old stitched-up shoes on their feet, and old clothing on their backs; and all the food they had with them was dry and broken up.

bbe@Joshua:9:6 @And they came to Joshua to the tent-circle at Gilgal, and said to him and to the men of Israel, We have come from a far country: so now make an agreement with us.

bbe@Joshua:9:7 @And the men of Israel said to the Hivites, It may be that you are living among us; how then may we make an agreement with you?

bbe@Joshua:9:10 @And what he did to the two kings of the Amorites east of Jordan, to Sihon, king of Heshbon, and to Og, king of Bashan, at Ashtaroth.

bbe@Joshua:9:11 @So the responsible men and all the people of our country said to us, Take food with you for the journey and go to them, and say to them, We are your servants: so now make an agreement with us.

bbe@Joshua:9:12 @This bread which we have with us for our food, we took warm and new from our houses when starting on our journey to you; but now see, it has become dry and broken up.

bbe@Joshua:9:14 @And the men took some of their food, without requesting directions from the Lord.

bbe@Joshua:9:15 @So Joshua made peace with them, and made an agreement with them that they were not to be put to death: and the chiefs of the people took an oath to them.

bbe@Joshua:9:16 @Now three days after, when they had made this agreement with them, they had word that these men were their neighbours, living near them.

bbe@Joshua:9:24 @And, answering Joshua, they said, Because it came to the ears of your servants that the Lord your God had given orders to his servant Moses to give you all this land, and to send destruction on all the people living in it, because of you; so, fearing greatly for our lives because of you, we have done this.

bbe@Joshua:10:1 @Now when it came to the ears of Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, that Joshua had taken Ai, and had given it up to the curse (for as he had done to Jericho and its king, so he had done to Ai and its king); and that the people of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were living among them;

bbe@Joshua:10:2 @He was in great fear, because Gibeon was a great town, like one of the king's towns, greater than Ai, and all the men in it were men of war.

bbe@Joshua:10:4 @Come up to me and give me help, and let us make an attack on Gibeon: for they have made peace with Joshua and the children of Israel.

bbe@Joshua:10:5 @So the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon, were banded together, and went up with all their armies and took up their position before Gibeon and made war against it.

bbe@Joshua:10:6 @And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua to the tent-circle at Gilgal, saying, Be not slow to send help to your servants; come up quickly to our support and keep us safe: for all the kings of the Amorites from the hill-country have come together against us.

bbe@Joshua:10:7 @So Joshua went up from Gilgal with all his army and all his men of war.

bbe@Joshua:10:11 @And in their flight before Israel, on the way down from Beth-horon, the Lord sent down great stones from heaven on them all the way to Azekah, causing their death: those whose death was caused by the stones were more than those whom the children of Israel put to death with the sword.

bbe@Joshua:10:12 @It was on the day when the Lord gave up the Amorites into the hands of the children of Israel that Joshua said to the Lord, before the eyes of Israel, Sun, be at rest over Gibeon; and you, O moon, in the valley of Aijalon.

bbe@Joshua:10:13 @And the sun was at rest and the moon kept its place till the nation had given punishment to their attackers. (Is it not recorded in the book of Jashar?) So the sun kept its place in the middle of the heavens, and was waiting, and did not go down, for the space of a day.

bbe@Joshua:10:14 @And there was no day like that, before it or after it, when the Lord gave ear to the voice of a man; for the Lord was fighting for Israel.

bbe@Joshua:10:15 @And Joshua, with all Israel, went back to the tent-circle at Gilgal.

bbe@Joshua:10:18 @And Joshua said, Let great stones be rolled against the mouth of the hole, and let men keep watch by it:

bbe@Joshua:10:19 @But do you, without waiting, go after their army, attacking them from the back; do not let them get into their towns, for the Lord your God has given them into your hands.

bbe@Joshua:10:24 @And when they had made those kings come out to Joshua, Joshua sent for all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war who had gone with him, Come near and put your feet on the necks of these kings. So they came near and put their feet on their necks.

bbe@Joshua:10:28 @That day Joshua took Makkedah, and put it and its king to the sword; every soul in it he gave up to the curse without mercy: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.

bbe@Joshua:10:29 @Then Joshua and all Israel with him went on from Makkedah and came to Libnah, and made an attack on it;

bbe@Joshua:10:30 @And again the Lord gave it and its king into the hands of Israel; and he put it and every person in it to the sword, till their destruction was complete; and he did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.

bbe@Joshua:10:31 @Then Joshua and all Israel with him went on from Libnah to Lachish, and took up their position against it and made an attack on it,

bbe@Joshua:10:32 @And the Lord gave Lachish into the hands of Israel, and on the second day he took it, putting it and every person in it to the sword without mercy, as he had done to Libnah.

bbe@Joshua:10:34 @And Joshua and all Israel with him went on from Lachish to Eglon: and they took up their position against it and made an attack on it;

bbe@Joshua:10:35 @And that day they took it, putting it and every person in it to the sword, as he had done to Lachish.

bbe@Joshua:10:36 @And Joshua and all Israel with him went up from Eglon to Hebron, and made an attack on it;

bbe@Joshua:10:37 @And took it, overcoming it and putting it and its king and its towns and every person in it to the sword: as he had done to Eglon, he put them all to death, and gave it up to the curse with every person in it.

bbe@Joshua:10:38 @And Joshua and all Israel with him went on to make an attack on Debir;

bbe@Joshua:10:39 @And he took it, with its king and all its towns: and he put them to the sword, giving every person in it to the curse; all were put to death: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir and its king.

bbe@Joshua:10:43 @Then Joshua and all Israel with him went back to their tents at Gilgal.

bbe@Joshua:11:3 @And to the Canaanites on the east and on the west, and to the Amorites and the Hittites and the Perizzites, and the Jebusites in the hill-country, and the Hivites under Hermon in the land of Mizpah.

bbe@Joshua:11:4 @And they went out, they and all their armies with them, a great people, in number like the sand on the seaside, with horses and war-carriages in great number.

bbe@Joshua:11:5 @And all these kings came together, and put their forces in position at the waters of Merom, to make war on Israel.

bbe@Joshua:11:6 @And the Lord said to Joshua, Have no fear of them: for tomorrow at this time I will give them all up dead before Israel; you are to have the leg-muscles of their horses cut and their war-carriages burned with fire.

bbe@Joshua:11:7 @So Joshua and all the men of war with him came against them suddenly at the waters of Merom, and made an attack on them.

bbe@Joshua:11:9 @And Joshua did to them as the Lord had said to him; he had the leg-muscles of their horses cut and their war-carriages burned with fire.

bbe@Joshua:11:10 @At that time, Joshua went on to take Hazor and put its king to the sword: for in earlier times Hazor was the chief of all those kingdoms.

bbe@Joshua:11:11 @And they put every person in it to death without mercy, giving every living thing up to the curse, and burning Hazor

bbe@Joshua:11:14 @And all the goods taken from these towns, and their cattle, the children of Israel kept for themselves; but every man they put to death without mercy, till their destruction was complete, and there was no one living.

bbe@Joshua:11:16 @So Joshua took all that land, the hill-country and all the South, and all the land of Goshen, and the lowland and the Arabah, the hill-country of Israel and its lowland;

bbe@Joshua:11:19 @Not one town made peace with the children of Israel, but only the Hivites of Gibeon: they took them all in war.

bbe@Joshua:11:20 @For the Lord made them strong in heart to go to war against Israel, so that he might give them up to the curse without mercy, and that destruction might come on them, as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

bbe@Joshua:11:23 @So Joshua took all the land, as the Lord had said to Moses; and Joshua gave it to the children of Israel as their heritage, making division of it among them by their tribes. And the land had rest from war.

bbe@Joshua:12:1 @Now these are the kings of the land whom the children of Israel overcame, taking as their heritage their land on the east side of Jordan, from the valley of the Arnon to Mount Hermon, and all the Arabah to the east:

bbe@Joshua:12:2 @Sihon, king of the Amorites, who was living in Heshbon, ruling from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the town in the middle of the valley, and half Gilead, as far as the river Jabbok, the limits of the children of Ammon;

bbe@Joshua:12:5 @Ruling in the mountain of Hermon, and in Salecah, and in all Bashan, as far as the limits of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and half Gilead, to the land of Sihon, king of Heshbon.

bbe@Joshua:12:6 @Moses, the servant of the Lord, and the children of Israel overcame them; and Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave their land for a heritage to the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.

bbe@Joshua:12:7 @And these are the kings of the land whom Joshua and the children of Israel overcame on the west side of Jordan, from Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon to Mount Halak, which goes up to Seir; and Joshua gave the land to the tribes of Israel for a heritage, in keeping with their divisions;

bbe@Joshua:12:8 @In the hill-country, and in the lowland, and in the Arabah, and on the mountain slopes, and in the waste land, and in the South; the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

bbe@Joshua:13:2 @This is the land which is still to be taken: all the country of the Philistines, and all the Geshurites;

bbe@Joshua:13:3 @From the Shihor, which is before Egypt, to the edge of Ekron to the north, which is taken to be Canaanite property: the five chiefs of the Philistines; the Gazites, and the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites, as well as the Avvim;

bbe@Joshua:13:4 @On the south: all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah which is the property of the Zidonians, to Aphek, as far as the limit of the Amorites:

bbe@Joshua:13:5 @And the land of the Gebalites, and all Lebanon, looking east, from Baal-gad under Mount Hermon as far as Hamath:

bbe@Joshua:13:6 @All the people of the hill-country from Lebanon to Misrephoth-maim, all the Zidonians; them will I send out from before the children of Israel: only make division of it to Israel for a heritage, as I have given you orders to do.

bbe@Joshua:13:7 @So now make division of this land for a heritage to the nine tribes, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.

bbe@Joshua:13:8 @With him the Reubenites and the Gadites have been given their heritage, which Moses gave them, on the east side of Jordan, as Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave them;

bbe@Joshua:13:10 @And all the towns of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who was ruling in Heshbon, to the limits of the children of Ammon;

bbe@Joshua:13:11 @And Gilead, and the land of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salecah;

bbe@Joshua:13:13 @However, the people of Israel did not send out the Geshurites, or the Maacathites: but Geshur and Maacath are living among Israel to this day.

bbe@Joshua:13:14 @Only to the tribe of Levi he gave no heritage; the offerings of the Lord, the God of Israel, made by fire are his heritage, as he said to him.

bbe@Joshua:13:15 @And Moses gave their heritage to the tribe of Reuben by their families

bbe@Joshua:13:16 @Their limit was from Aroer, on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the town in the middle of the valley, and all the table-land by Medeba;

bbe@Joshua:13:21 @And all the towns of the table-land, and all the kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who was ruling in Heshbon, whom Moses overcame, together with the chiefs of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the chiefs of Sihon, who were living in the land.

bbe@Joshua:13:22 @And Balaam, the son of Beor, the prophet, the children of Israel put to death with the sword.

bbe@Joshua:13:23 @And the limit of the children of Reuben was the edge of Jordan. This was the heritage of the children of Reuben by their families, with its towns and its unwalled places.

bbe@Joshua:13:24 @And Moses gave their heritage to the tribe of Gad by their families.

bbe@Joshua:13:25 @And their limit was Jazer, and all the towns of Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon, to Aroer before Rabbah;

bbe@Joshua:13:27 @And in the valley, Beth-haram, and Beth-nimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon, king of Heshbon, having Jordan for its limit, to the end of the sea of Chinnereth on the east side of Jordan.

bbe@Joshua:13:28 @This is the heritage of the children of Gad by their families, with its towns and its unwalled places

bbe@Joshua:13:29 @And Moses gave their heritage to the half-tribe of Manasseh by their families.

bbe@Joshua:13:30 @And their limit was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og, king of Bashan, and all Havvoth-Jair, in Bashan, sixty towns;

bbe@Joshua:13:32 @These are the heritages of which Moses made distribution in the lowlands of Moab, on the other side of Jordan in Jericho, to the east.

bbe@Joshua:13:33 @But to the tribe of Levi Moses gave no heritage: the Lord, the God of Israel, is their heritage, as he said to them.

bbe@Joshua:14:1 @And these are the heritages which the children of Israel took in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar, the priest, and Joshua, the son of Nun, and the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, gave out to them;

bbe@Joshua:14:2 @Their heritage by the Lord's decision, as he gave orders by Moses, for the nine tribes and the half-tribe.

bbe@Joshua:14:3 @For Moses had given their heritage to the two tribes and the half-tribe on the other side of Jordan, but to the Levites he gave no heritage among them.

bbe@Joshua:14:4 @Because the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim; and they gave the Levites no part in the land, only towns for their living-places, with the grass-lands for their cattle and for their property.

bbe@Joshua:14:6 @Then the children of Judah went to Joshua in Gilgal; and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, said to him, You have knowledge of what the Lord said to Moses, the man of God, about me and about you in Kadesh-barnea.

bbe@Joshua:14:7 @I was forty years old when Moses, the servant of the Lord, sent me from Kadesh-barnea to make a search through the land; and the account which I gave him was in keeping with his desire.

bbe@Joshua:14:8 @My brothers, however, who went up with me, made the heart of the people like water: but I was true to the Lord with all my heart.

bbe@Joshua:14:9 @And on that day Moses took an oath, saying, Truly the land where your feet have been placed will become a heritage for you and your children for ever, because you have been true to the Lord your God with all your heart.

bbe@Joshua:14:11 @And still, I am as strong today as I was when Moses sent me out: as my strength was then, so is it now, for war and for all the business of life.

bbe@Joshua:14:12 @So now, give me this hill-country named by the Lord at that time; for you had an account of it then, how the Anakim were there, and great walled towns: it may be that the Lord will be with me, and I will be able to take their land, as the Lord said.

bbe@Joshua:14:13 @And Joshua gave him his blessing; and he gave Hebron to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, for his heritage.

bbe@Joshua:14:14 @So Hebron became the heritage of Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, to this day, because with all his heart he was true to the Lord, the God of Israel.

bbe@Joshua:15:1 @Now the part of the land marked out for the children of Judah by families, went up to the edge of Edom, as far as the waste land of Zin to the south, to the farthest point of it on the south.

bbe@Joshua:15:2 @Their south limit was from the farthest part of the Salt Sea, from the inlet looking to the south:

bbe@Joshua:15:3 @From there it goes south of the slope up to Akrabbim, and on to Zin, then south past Kadesh-barnea, and on by Hezron and up to Addar, turning in the direction of Karka:

bbe@Joshua:15:4 @Then on to Azmon, ending at the stream of Egypt: and the end of the limit is at the sea; this will be your limit on the south.

bbe@Joshua:15:5 @And the east limit is the Salt Sea as far as the end of Jordan. And the limit of the north part of the land is from the inlet of the sea at the end of Jordan:

bbe@Joshua:15:7 @Then the line goes up to Debir from the valley of Achor, and so to the north, in the direction of Gilgal, which is opposite the slope up to Adummim, on the south side of the river: and the line goes on to the waters of En-shemesh, ending at En-rogel:

bbe@Joshua:15:8 @Then the line goes up by the valley of the son of Hinnom to the south side of the Jebusite (which is Jerusalem): then up to the top of the mountain in front of the valley of Hinnom to the west, which is at the farthest point of the valley of Rephaim on the north:

bbe@Joshua:15:9 @And the limit is marked out from the top of the mountain to the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah, and out to the towns of Mount Ephron, as far as Baalah (which is Kiriath-jearim):

bbe@Joshua:15:11 @And out to the side of Ekron to the north: then it is marked out to Shikkeron and on to Mount Baalah, ending at Jabneel; the end of the line is at the sea.

bbe@Joshua:15:12 @And the limit on the west is the edge of the Great Sea. This is the line going round the land marked out for the children of Judah, by their families.

bbe@Joshua:15:16 @And Caleb said, I will give Achsah, my daughter, as wife to the man who overcomes Kiriath-sepher and takes it.

bbe@Joshua:15:17 @And Othniel, the son of Kenaz, Caleb's brother, took it: so he gave him his daughter Achsah for his wife.

bbe@Joshua:15:18 @Now when she came to him, he put into her mind the idea of requesting a field from her father: and she got down from her ass; and Caleb said to her, What is it?

bbe@Joshua:15:20 @This is the heritage of the tribe of Judah, by their families.

bbe@Joshua:15:21 @The farthest towns of the tribe of Judah in the direction of the limits of Edom to the south, were Kabzeel, and Eder, and Jagur;

bbe@Joshua:15:23 @And Kedesh, and Hazor, and Ithnan;

bbe@Joshua:15:32 @And Lebaoth, and Shilhim, and Ain, and Rimmon; all the towns are twenty-nine, with their unwalled places.

bbe@Joshua:15:36 @And Shaaraim, and Adithaim, and Gederah, and Gederothaim; fourteen towns with their unwalled places.

bbe@Joshua:15:40 @And Cabbon, and Lahmas, and Chithlish;

bbe@Joshua:15:41 @And Gederoth, Beth-dagon, and Naamah, and Makkedah; sixteen towns with their unwalled places.

bbe@Joshua:15:44 @And Keilah, and Achzib, and Mareshah; nine towns with their unwalled places.

bbe@Joshua:15:45 @Ekron, with her daughter-towns and her unwalled places;

bbe@Joshua:15:46 @From Ekron to the sea, all the towns by the side of Ashdod, with their unwalled places.

bbe@Joshua:15:47 @Ashdod, with her daughter-towns and her unwalled places; Gaza, with her daughter-towns and her unwalled places, to the stream of Egypt, with the Great Sea as a limit.

bbe@Joshua:15:51 @And Goshen, and Holon, and Giloh; eleven towns with their unwalled places.

bbe@Joshua:15:54 @And Humtah, and Kiriath-arba (which is Hebron), and Zior; nine towns with their unwalled places.

bbe@Joshua:15:57 @Kain, Gibeah, and Timnah; ten towns with their unwalled places.

bbe@Joshua:15:59 @And Maarath, and Beth-anoth, and Eltekon; six towns with their unwalled places.

bbe@Joshua:15:60 @Kiriath-baal (which is Kiriath-jearim), and Rabbah; two towns with their unwalled places.

bbe@Joshua:15:62 @And Nibshan, and the Town of Salt, and En-gedi; six towns with their unwalled places.

bbe@Joshua:15:63 @And as for the Jebusites living in Jerusalem, the children of Judah were unable to make them go out; but the Jebusites are living with the children of Judah at Jerusalem, to this day.

bbe@Joshua:16:1 @And the limit of the land marked out for the children of Joseph went out from Jordan at Jericho, at the waters of Jericho on the east, in the waste land, going up from Jericho through the hill-country to Beth-el;

bbe@Joshua:16:2 @And it goes out from Beth-el to Luz, and on as far as the limit of the Archites to Ataroth;

bbe@Joshua:16:3 @And it goes down to the west to the limit of the Japhletites, to the limit of Beth-horon the lower, as far as Gezer; ending at the sea.

bbe@Joshua:16:4 @And the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their heritage.

bbe@Joshua:16:5 @And the limit of the land of the children of Ephraim by their families was marked out in this way: the limit of their heritage to the east was Ataroth-addar, to Beth-horon the higher;

bbe@Joshua:16:6 @The line goes out to the west at Michmethath on the north; then turning to the east to Taanath-shiloh, going past it on the east of Janoah;

bbe@Joshua:16:7 @And from Janoah down to Ataroth, and to Naarah, and touching Jericho, it goes on to Jordan.

bbe@Joshua:16:8 @From Tappuah the line goes on to the west to the river of Kanah; ending at the sea. This is the heritage of the children of Ephraim by their families;

bbe@Joshua:16:9 @Together with the towns marked out for the children of Ephraim in the heritage of Manasseh, all the towns with their unwalled places.

bbe@Joshua:16:10 @And the Canaanites who were living in Gezer were not forced out; but the Canaanites have been living among Ephraim, to this day, as servants, doing forced work.

bbe@Joshua:17:2 @And as for the rest of the children of Manasseh, their heritage was given to them by families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these were the male children of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, by their families.

bbe@Joshua:17:4 @And they came before Eleazar the priest, and Joshua, the son of Nun, and before the chiefs, saying, The Lord gave orders to Moses to give us a heritage among our brothers: so in agreement with the orders of the Lord he gave them a heritage among their father's brothers.

bbe@Joshua:17:5 @And ten parts were given to Manasseh, in addition to the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is on the other side of Jordan;

bbe@Joshua:17:6 @Because the daughters of Manasseh had a heritage among his sons, and the land of Gilead was the property of the other sons of Manasseh.

bbe@Joshua:17:7 @And the limit of Manasseh's land was from Asher to Michmethath, which is before Shechem; the line goes on to the right hand, to the people of En-tappuah.

bbe@Joshua:17:9 @And the limit goes down to the stream Kanah, to the south of the stream: these towns were Ephraim's among the towns of Manasseh; Manasseh's limit was on the north side of the stream, ending at the sea:

bbe@Joshua:17:10 @To the south it is Ephraim's, and to the north it is Manasseh's, and the sea is his limit; and they are touching Asher on the north, and Issachar on the east.

bbe@Joshua:17:11 @In Issachar and Asher, Manasseh had Beth-shean and its daughter-towns, and Ibleam and its daughter-towns, and the people of Dor and its daughter-towns, and the people of En-dor and its daughter-towns, and the people of Taanach and its daughter-towns, and the people of Megiddo and its daughter-towns, that is, the three hills.

bbe@Joshua:17:12 @But the children of Manasseh were not able to make the people of those towns go out; but the Canaanites would go on living in that land.

bbe@Joshua:17:13 @And when the children of Israel had become strong, they put the Canaanites to forced work, in place of driving them out.

bbe@Joshua:17:14 @Then the children of Joseph said to Joshua, Why have you given me only one part and one stretch of land for my heritage? For through the blessing given to me by the Lord up to now, I am a great people.

bbe@Joshua:17:15 @Then Joshua said to them, If you are such a great people, go up into the woodlands, clearing a place there for yourselves in the land of the Perizzites and the Rephaim, if the hill-country of Ephraim is not wide enough for you.

bbe@Joshua:17:16 @And the children of Joseph said, The hill-country is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites living in the valley have iron war-carriages, those in Beth-shean and its towns as well as those in the valley of Jezreel.

bbe@Joshua:17:18 @For the hill-country of Gilead will be yours... the woodland and cut down... its outskirts will be yours... get the Canaanites out, for they have iron war-carriages... strong.

bbe@Joshua:18:2 @But there were still seven tribes among the children of Israel who had not taken up their heritage.

bbe@Joshua:18:3 @Then Joshua said to the children of Israel, Why are you so slow to go in and take up your heritage in the land which the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given you?

bbe@Joshua:18:4 @Take from among you three men from every tribe; and I will send them to go through the land and make a record of it for distribution as their heritage; then let them come back to me.

bbe@Joshua:18:5 @And let them make division of it into seven parts: let Judah keep inside his limit on the south, and let the children of Joseph keep inside their limit on the north.

bbe@Joshua:18:6 @And you are to have the land marked out in seven parts, and come back to me with the record; and I will make the distribution for you here by the decision of the Lord our God.

bbe@Joshua:18:7 @For the Levites have no part among you; to be the Lord's priests is their heritage; and Gad and Reuben and the half-tribe of Manasseh have had their heritage on the east side of Jordan, given to them by Moses, the servant of the Lord.

bbe@Joshua:18:8 @So the men got up and went; and Joshua gave orders to those who went, to make a record of the land, saying, Go up and down through the land, and make a record of it and come back here to me, and I will make the distribution for you here by the decision of the Lord in Shiloh.

bbe@Joshua:18:9 @So the men went, travelling through the land, and made a record of it by towns in seven parts in a book, and came back to Joshua to the tent-circle at Shiloh.

bbe@Joshua:18:11 @And the first heritage came out for the tribe of Benjamin by their families: and the limit of their heritage went between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.

bbe@Joshua:18:12 @And their limit on the north was from the Jordan, and the line goes up to the side of Jericho on the north and through the hill-country to the west, ending at the waste land of Beth-aven.

bbe@Joshua:18:14 @And the limit is marked as coming round to the south on the west side from the mountain which is south of Beth-horon, and ending at Kiriath-baal (which is Kiriath-jearim), a town of the children of Judah: this is the west part.

bbe@Joshua:18:16 @And the line goes down to the farthest part of the mountain facing the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is on the north of the valley of Rephaim: from there it goes down to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite on the south as far as En-rogel;

bbe@Joshua:18:17 @And it goes to En-shemesh and on to Geliloth, opposite the way up to Adummim, and it goes down to the stone of Bohan, the son of Reuben;

bbe@Joshua:18:18 @And it goes on to the side facing the Arabah to the north, and down to the Arabah;

bbe@Joshua:18:19 @And on to the north side of Beth-hoglah, ending at the north inlet of the Salt Sea at the south end of Jordan; this is their limit on the south.

bbe@Joshua:18:20 @And the limit of the east part is the Jordan. This is the heritage of the children of Benjamin, marked out for their families by these limits on all sides.

bbe@Joshua:18:24 @And Chephar-Ammoni and Ophni and Geba; twelve towns with their unwalled places;

bbe@Joshua:18:28 @And Zela, Eleph and the Jebusite (which is Jerusalem), Gibeath and Kiriath; fourteen towns with their unwalled places. This is the heritage of the children of Benjamin by their families.

bbe@Joshua:19:1 @And the second heritage came out for the tribe of Simeon by their families; and their heritage was in the middle of the heritage of the children of Judah.

bbe@Joshua:19:2 @And they had for their heritage Beer-sheba and Shema and Moladah

bbe@Joshua:19:6 @And Beth-lebaoth and Sharuhen; thirteen towns with their unwalled places;

bbe@Joshua:19:7 @Ain, Rimmon, and Ether and Ashan; four towns with their unwalled places;

bbe@Joshua:19:8 @And all the unwalled places round about these towns as far as Baalath-beer-ramah to the south. This is the heritage of the tribe of Simeon by their families.

bbe@Joshua:19:9 @The heritage of Simeon was taken out of Judah's stretch of land, for Judah's part was more than they had need of, so the heritage of the children of Simeon was inside their heritage.

bbe@Joshua:19:10 @And the third heritage came out for Zebulun by their families; the limit of their heritage was as far as Sarid;

bbe@Joshua:19:11 @And their limit goes up to the west to Maralah, stretching to Dabbesheth, and to the stream in front of Jokneam;

bbe@Joshua:19:12 @Then turning east from Sarid to the limit of Chisloth-tabor, it goes out to Daberath, and up to Japhia;

bbe@Joshua:19:13 @And from there it goes on east to Gath-hepher, to Eth-kazin; ending at Rimmon which goes as far as Neah;

bbe@Joshua:19:14 @And the line goes round it on the north to Hannathon, ending at the valley of Iphtah-el;

bbe@Joshua:19:15 @And Kattath and Nahalal and Shimron and Idalah and Beth-lehem; twelve towns with their unwalled places.

bbe@Joshua:19:16 @This is the heritage of the children of Zebulun by their families, these towns with their unwalled places.

bbe@Joshua:19:17 @For Issachar the fourth heritage came out, for the children of Issachar by their families;

bbe@Joshua:19:18 @And their limit was to Jezreel and Chesulloth and Shunem

bbe@Joshua:19:20 @And Rabbith and Kishion and Ebez

bbe@Joshua:19:22 @And their limit goes as far as Tabor and Shahazimah and Beth-shemesh, ending at Jordan; sixteen towns with their unwalled places.

bbe@Joshua:19:23 @This is the heritage of the tribe of the children of Issachar by their families, these towns with their unwalled places.

bbe@Joshua:19:24 @And the fifth heritage came out for the tribe of Asher by their families.

bbe@Joshua:19:25 @And their limit was Helkath and Hali and Beten and Achshaph

bbe@Joshua:19:27 @Turning to the east to Beth-dagon and stretching to Zebulun and the valley of Iphtah-el as far as Beth-emek and Neiel to the north; on the left it goes as far as Cabul

bbe@Joshua:19:29 @And the limit goes round to Ramah and the walled town of Tyre and Hosah, ending at the sea by Heleb and Achzib;

bbe@Joshua:19:30 @And Ummah and Aphek and Rehob; twenty-two towns with their unwalled places.

bbe@Joshua:19:31 @This is the heritage of the tribe of the children of Asher by their families, these towns with their unwalled places.

bbe@Joshua:19:32 @For the children of Naphtali the sixth heritage came out, for the children of Naphtali by their families;

bbe@Joshua:19:33 @And their limit was from Heleph, from the oak-tree in Zaanannim, and Adami-hannekeb and Jabneel, as far as Lakkum, ending at Jordan;

bbe@Joshua:19:34 @And turning west to Aznoth-tabor, the limit goes out from there to Hukkok, stretching to Zebulun on the south, and Asher on the west, and Judah at Jordan on the east.

bbe@Joshua:19:38 @And Iron and Migdal-el, Horem and Beth-anath and Beth-shemesh; nineteen towns with their unwalled places.

bbe@Joshua:19:39 @This is the heritage of the tribe of the children of Naphtali by their families, these towns with their unwalled places.

bbe@Joshua:19:40 @For the tribe of Dan by their families the seventh heritage came out;

bbe@Joshua:19:41 @And the limit of their heritage was Zorah and Eshtaol and Ir-shemesh

bbe@Joshua:19:42 @And Shaalabbin and Aijalon and Ithlah

bbe@Joshua:19:46 @And on the west was... opposite Joppa.

bbe@Joshua:19:47 @(But the limit of the children of Dan was not wide enough for them; so the children of Dan went up and made war on Leshem and took it, putting it to the sword without mercy, and they took it for their heritage and made a place for themselves there, giving it the name of Leshem-dan, after the name of their father, Dan.)

bbe@Joshua:19:48 @This is the heritage of the tribe of the children of Dan by their families, these towns with their unwalled places.

bbe@Joshua:19:49 @So the distribution of the land and its limits was complete; and the children of Israel gave Joshua, the son of Nun, a heritage among them;

bbe@Joshua:19:51 @These are the heritages which Eleazar the priest and Joshua, the son of Nun, and the heads of families of the tribes of the children of Israel gave out at Shiloh, by the decision of the Lord, at the door of the Tent of meeting. So the distribution of the land was complete.

bbe@Joshua:20:3 @So that any man who in error and without design has taken the life of another, may go in flight to them: and they will be safe places for you from him who has the right of punishment for blood.

bbe@Joshua:20:5 @And if the one who has the right of punishment comes after him, they are not to give the taker of life up to him; because he was the cause of his neighbour's death without designing it and not in hate.

bbe@Joshua:21:1 @Then the heads of the families of the Levites came to Eleazar the priest and Joshua, the son of Nun, and to the heads of families of the tribes of the children of Israel;

bbe@Joshua:21:2 @And said to them in Shiloh in the land of Canaan, The Lord gave orders by Moses that we were to have towns for living in, with their grass-lands for our cattle.

bbe@Joshua:21:3 @And the children of Israel out of their heritage gave to the Levites these towns with their grass-lands, by the order of the Lord.

bbe@Joshua:21:4 @And the heritage came out for the families of the Kohathites: the children of Aaron the priest, who were of the Levites, were given thirteen towns from the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin.

bbe@Joshua:21:8 @All these towns with their grass-lands the children of Israel gave by the decision of the Lord to the Levites, as the Lord had given orders by Moses.

bbe@Joshua:21:10 @These were for the children of Aaron among the families of the Kohathites, of the children of Levi: for they came first in the distribution.

bbe@Joshua:21:11 @They gave them Kiriath-arba, the town of Arba, the father of Anak, (which is Hebron) in the hill-country of Judah, with its grass-lands.

bbe@Joshua:21:12 @But the open country round the town, and its unwalled places, they gave to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, as his property.

bbe@Joshua:21:13 @And to the children of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron with its grass-lands, the town where the taker of life might be safe, and Libnah with its grass-lands;

bbe@Joshua:21:14 @And Jattir with its grass-lands, and Eshtemoa with its grass-lands;

bbe@Joshua:21:15 @And Holon with its grass-lands, and Debir with its grass-lands;

bbe@Joshua:21:16 @And Ain, and Juttah, and Beth-shemesh, with their grass-lands; nine towns from those two tribes.

bbe@Joshua:21:17 @And from the tribe of Benjamin they gave Gibeon and Geba with their grass-lands;

bbe@Joshua:21:18 @Anathoth and Almon with their grass-lands, four towns.

bbe@Joshua:21:19 @Thirteen towns with their grass-lands were given to the children of Aaron, the priests.

bbe@Joshua:21:20 @The rest of the families of the children of Kohath, the Levites, were given towns from the tribe of Ephraim.

bbe@Joshua:21:21 @And they gave them Shechem with its grass-lands in the hill-country of Ephraim, the town where the taker of life might be safe, and Gezer with its grass-lands;

bbe@Joshua:21:22 @And Kibzaim and Beth-horon with their grass-lands, four towns.

bbe@Joshua:21:23 @And from the tribe of Dan, Elteke and Gibbethon with their grass-lands;

bbe@Joshua:21:24 @Aijalon and Gath-rimmon with their grass-lands, four towns.

bbe@Joshua:21:25 @And from the half-tribe of Manasseh, Taanach and Gath-rimmon with their grass-lands, two towns.

bbe@Joshua:21:26 @All the towns of the rest of the families of the children of Kohath were ten with their grass-lands.

bbe@Joshua:21:27 @And to the children of Gershon, of the families of the Levites, they gave from the half-tribe of Manasseh, Golan in Bashan with its grass-lands, the town where the taker of life might be safe, and Ashtaroth with its grass-lands, two towns.

bbe@Joshua:21:28 @And from the tribe of Issachar, Kishion and Daberath with their grass-lands;

bbe@Joshua:21:29 @Jarmuth and En-gannim with their grass-lands, four towns.

bbe@Joshua:21:30 @And from the tribe of Asher, Mishal and Abdon, with their grass-lands:

bbe@Joshua:21:31 @Helkath and Rehob with their grass-lands, four towns.

bbe@Joshua:21:32 @And from the tribe of Naphtali, Kedesh in Galilee with its grass-lands, the town where the taker of life might be safe, and Hammoth-dor and Kartan with their grass-lands, three towns.

bbe@Joshua:21:33 @All the towns of the Gershonites with their families were thirteen with their grass-lands.

bbe@Joshua:21:34 @And to the rest of the Levites, that is, the families of the children of Merari, they gave from the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam and Kartah with their grass-lands;

bbe@Joshua:21:35 @Dimnah and Nahalal with their grass-lands, four towns.

bbe@Joshua:21:36 @And from the tribe of Reuben, Bezer and Jahaz with their grass-lands;

bbe@Joshua:21:37 @Kedemoth and Mephaath with their grass-lands, four towns.

bbe@Joshua:21:38 @And from the tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Gilead, the town where the taker of life might be safe, and Mahanaim with their grass-lands;

bbe@Joshua:21:39 @Heshbon and Jazer with their grass-lands, four towns.

bbe@Joshua:21:40 @All these towns were given to the children of Merari by their families, that is, the rest of the families of the Levites; and their heritage was twelve towns.

bbe@Joshua:21:41 @All the towns of the Levites, among the heritage of the children of Israel, were forty-eight towns with their grass-lands.

bbe@Joshua:21:42 @Every one of these towns had grass-lands round it.

bbe@Joshua:21:43 @So the Lord gave to Israel all the land which he gave by oath to their fathers; so it became their heritage and their living-place.

bbe@Joshua:21:45 @The Lord kept faith with the house of Israel about all the good which he said he would do for them, and all his words came true.

bbe@Joshua:22:1 @Then Joshua sent for the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh,

bbe@Joshua:22:3 @You have now been with your brothers for a long time; till this day you have been doing the orders of the Lord your God.

bbe@Joshua:22:4 @And now the Lord your God has given your brothers rest, as he said: so now you may go back to your tents, to the land of your heritage, which Moses, the Lord's servant, gave to you on the other side of Jordan.

bbe@Joshua:22:5 @Only take great care to do the orders and the law which Moses, the Lord's servant, gave you; to have love for the Lord your God and to go in all his ways; and to keep his laws and to be true to him and to be his servants with all your heart and with all your soul.

bbe@Joshua:22:7 @Now to the one half of the tribe of Manasseh, Moses had given a heritage in Bashan; but to the other half, Joshua gave a heritage among their brothers on the west side of Jordan. Now when Joshua sent them away to their tents, he gave them his blessing,

bbe@Joshua:22:8 @And said to them, Go back with much wealth to your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver and gold and brass and iron, and with a very great store of clothing; give your brothers a part of the goods taken in the war.

bbe@Joshua:22:9 @So Reuben and Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh went back, parting from the children of Israel at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, to go to the land of Gilead, to the land of their heritage which had been given to them by the Lord's order to Moses.

bbe@Joshua:22:11 @And news came to the children of Israel, See, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have put up an altar opposite the land of Canaan, in the country by Jordan on the side which is Israel's.

bbe@Joshua:22:14 @And with him they sent ten chiefs, one for every tribe of the children of Israel, every one of them the head of his house among the families of Israel.

bbe@Joshua:22:19 @But if the land you now have is unclean, come over into the Lord's land where his House is, and take up your heritage among us: but do not be false to the Lord and to us by building yourselves an altar in addition to the altar of the Lord our God.

bbe@Joshua:22:22 @God, even God the Lord, God, even God the Lord, he sees, and Israel will see--if it is in pride or in sin against the Lord,

bbe@Joshua:22:23 @That we have made ourselves an altar, being false to the Lord, keep us not safe from death this day; and if for the purpose of offering burned offerings on it and meal offerings, or peace-offerings, let the Lord himself send punishment for it;

bbe@Joshua:22:24 @And if we have not, in fact, done this designedly and with purpose, having in our minds the fear that in time to come your children might say to our children, What have you to do with the Lord, the God of Israel?

bbe@Joshua:22:27 @But to be a witness between us and you, and between the future generations, that we have the right of worshipping the Lord with our burned offerings and our offerings of beasts and our peace-offerings; so that your children will not be able to say to our children in time to come, You have no part in the Lord.

bbe@Joshua:22:28 @For we said to ourselves, If they say this to us or to future generations, then we will say, See this copy of the Lord's altar which our fathers made, not for burned offerings or offerings of beasts, but for a witness between us and you.

bbe@Joshua:22:29 @Never let it be said that we were false to the Lord, turning back this day from him and building an altar for burned offerings and meal offerings and offerings of beasts, in addition to the altar of the Lord our God which is before his House.

bbe@Joshua:22:30 @Then Phinehas the priest and the chiefs of the meeting and the heads of the families of Israel who were with him, hearing what the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh said, were pleased.

bbe@Joshua:22:34 @And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad gave to that altar the name of Ed. For, they said, It is a witness between us that the Lord is God.

bbe@Joshua:23:3 @You have seen everything the Lord your God has done to all these nations because of you; for it is the Lord your God who has been fighting for you.

bbe@Joshua:23:4 @Now I have given to you, as the heritage of your tribes, all these nations which are still in the land, together with those cut off by me, from Jordan as far as the Great Sea on the west.

bbe@Joshua:23:5 @The Lord your God will send them away by force, driving them out before you; and you are to take their land for your heritage, as the Lord your God said to you.

bbe@Joshua:23:6 @So be very strong to keep and do whatever is recorded in the book of the law of Moses, not turning away from it to the right or to the left;

bbe@Joshua:23:7 @Have nothing to do with these nations who still are living among you; let not their gods be named by you or used in your oaths; do not be their servants or give them worship:

bbe@Joshua:23:10 @One man of you is able to put to flight a thousand; for it is the Lord your God who is fighting for you, as he has said to you.

bbe@Joshua:23:12 @For if you go back, joining yourselves to the rest of these nations who are still among you, getting married to them and living with them and they with you:

bbe@Joshua:23:14 @Now I am about to go the way of all the earth: and you have seen and are certain, all of you, in your hearts and souls, that in all the good things which the Lord said about you, he has kept faith with you; everything has come true for you.

bbe@Joshua:24:4 @And to Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau: to Esau I gave Mount Seir, as his heritage; but Jacob and his children went down to Egypt.

bbe@Joshua:24:6 @I took your fathers out of Egypt: and you came to the Red Sea; and the Egyptians came after your fathers to the Red Sea, with their war-carriages and their horsemen.

bbe@Joshua:24:7 @And at their cry, the Lord made it dark between you and the Egyptians, and made the sea go over them, covering them with its waters; your eyes have seen what I did in Egypt: then for a long time you were living in the waste land.

bbe@Joshua:24:8 @And I took you into the lands of the Amorites on the other side of Jordan; and they made war on you, and I gave them into your hands and you took their land; and I sent destruction on them before you.

bbe@Joshua:24:11 @Then you went over Jordan and came to Jericho: and the men of Jericho made war on you, the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Girgashites and the Hivites and the Jebusites: and I gave them up into your hands.

bbe@Joshua:24:12 @And I sent the hornet before you, driving out the two kings of the Amorites before you, not with your sword and your bow.

bbe@Joshua:24:14 @So now, go in fear of the Lord, and be his servants with true hearts: put away the gods worshipped by your fathers across the River and in Egypt, and be servants of the Lord.

bbe@Joshua:24:15 @And if it seems evil to you to be the servants of the Lord, make the decision this day whose servants you will be: of the gods whose servants your fathers were across the River, or of the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living: but I and my house will be the servants of the Lord.

bbe@Joshua:24:17 @For it is the Lord our God who has taken us and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house, and who did all those great signs before our eyes, and kept us safe on all our journeys, and among all the peoples through whom we went:

bbe@Joshua:24:18 @And the Lord sent out from before us all the peoples, the Amorites living in the land: so we will be the servants of the Lord, for he is our God.

bbe@Joshua:24:22 @And Joshua said to the people, You are witnesses against yourselves that you have made the decision to be the servants of the Lord. And they said, We are witnesses.

bbe@Joshua:24:25 @So Joshua made an agreement with the people that day, and gave them a rule and a law in Shechem.

bbe@Joshua:24:26 @And Joshua put these words on record, writing them in the book of the law of God; and he took a great stone, and put it up there under the oak-tree which was in the holy place of the Lord.

bbe@Joshua:24:27 @And Joshua said to all the people, See now, this stone is to be a witness against us; for all the words of the Lord have been said to us in its hearing: so it will be a witness against you if you are false to the Lord your God.

bbe@Joshua:24:28 @Then Joshua let the people go away, every man to his heritage.

bbe@Joshua:24:30 @And they put his body in the earth in the land of his heritage in Timnath-serah, in the hill-country of Ephraim, to the north of Mount Gaash.

bbe@Joshua:24:32 @And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel had taken up from Egypt, they put in the earth in Shechem, in the property which Jacob had got from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem, for a hundred shekels: and they became the heritage of the children of Joseph.

bbe@Judges:1:1 @Now after the death of Joshua, the children of Israel made request to the Lord, saying, Who is to go up first to make war for us against the Canaanites?

bbe@Judges:1:3 @Then Judah said to Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my heritage, so that we may make war against the Canaanites; and I will then go with you into your heritage. So Simeon went with him.

bbe@Judges:1:4 @And Judah went up; and the Lord gave the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hands; and they overcame ten thousand of them in Bezek.

bbe@Judges:1:5 @And they came across Adoni-zedek, and made war on him; and they overcame the Canaanites and the Perizzites.

bbe@Judges:1:8 @Then the children of Judah made an attack on Jerusalem, and took it, burning down the town after they had put its people to the sword without mercy.

bbe@Judges:1:9 @After that the children of Judah went down to make war on the Canaanites living in the hill-country and in the south and in the lowlands.

bbe@Judges:1:10 @And Caleb went against the Canaanites of Hebron: (now in earlier times Hebron was named Kiriath-arba:) and he put Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai to the sword.

bbe@Judges:1:12 @And Caleb said, I will give Achsah, my daughter, as wife to the man who overcomes Kiriath-sepher and takes it.

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

bbe@Judges:1:14 @Now when she came to him, he put into her mind the idea of requesting a field from her father: and she got down from her ass; and Caleb said to her, What is it?

bbe@Judges:1:16 @Now Hobab the Kenite, Moses' father-in-law, had come up out of the town of palm-trees, with the children of Judah, into the waste land of Arad; and he went and was living among the Amalekites;

bbe@Judges:1:17 @And Judah went with Simeon, his brother, and overcame the Canaanites living in Zephath, and put it under the curse; and he gave the town the name of Hormah.

bbe@Judges:1:18 @Then Judah took Gaza and its limit, and Ashkelon and its limit, and Ekron and its limit.

bbe@Judges:1:19 @And the Lord was with Judah; and he took the hill-country for his heritage; but he was unable to make the people of the valley go out, for they had war-carriages of iron.

bbe@Judges:1:21 @And the children of Judah did not make the Jebusites who were living in Jerusalem go out; the Jebusites are still living with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem.

bbe@Judges:1:22 @And the family of Joseph went up against Beth-el, and the Lord was with them.

bbe@Judges:1:25 @So he made clear to them the way into the town, and they put it to the sword; but they let the man and all his family get away safe.

bbe@Judges:1:26 @And he went into the land of the Hittites, building a town there and naming it Luz: which is its name to this day.

bbe@Judges:1:27 @And Manasseh did not take away the land of the people of Beth-shean and its daughter-towns, or of Taanach and its daughter-towns, or of the people of Dor and its daughter-towns, or of the people of Ibleam and its daughter-towns, or of the people of Megiddo and its daughter-towns, driving them out; but the Canaanites would go on living in that land.

bbe@Judges:1:28 @And whenever Israel became strong, they put the Canaanites to forced work, without driving them out completely.

bbe@Judges:1:29 @And Ephraim did not make the Canaanites who were living in Gezer go out; but the Canaanites went on living in Gezer among them.

bbe@Judges:1:30 @Zebulun did not make the people of Kitron or the people of Nahalol go out; but the Canaanites went on living among them and were put to forced work.

bbe@Judges:1:32 @But the Asherites went on living among the Canaanites, the people of the land, without driving them out.

bbe@Judges:1:33 @Naphtali did not take the land of the people of Beth-shemesh or of Beth-anath, driving them out; but he was living among the Canaanites in the land; however, the people of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath were put to forced work.

bbe@Judges:1:34 @And the children of Dan were forced into the hill-country by the Amorites, who would not let them come down into the valley;

bbe@Judges:1:35 @For the Amorites would go on living in Mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim; but the children of Joseph became stronger than they, and put them to forced work.

bbe@Judges:1:36 @And the limit of the Edomites went from the slope of Akrabbim from Sela and up.

bbe@Judges:2:1 @Now the angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said, *** I took you out of Egypt, guiding you into the land which I gave by an oath to your fathers; and I said, My agreement with you will never be broken by me:

bbe@Judges:2:2 @And you are to make no agreement with the people of this land; you are to see that their altars are broken down: but you have not given ear to my voice: what have you done?

bbe@Judges:2:6 @And Joshua let the people go away, and the children of Israel went, every man to his heritage, to take the land for themselves.

bbe@Judges:2:9 @And they put his body in the earth in the land of his heritage in Timnath-heres, in the hill-country of Ephraim to the north of Mount Gaash.

bbe@Judges:2:15 @Wherever they went out, the hand of the Lord was against them for evil, as the Lord had taken his oath it would be; and things became very hard for them.

bbe@Judges:2:18 @And whenever the Lord gave them judges, then the Lord was with the judge, and was their saviour from the hands of their haters all the days of the judge; for the Lord was moved by their cries of grief because of those who were cruel to them.

bbe@Judges:2:20 @And the wrath of the Lord was burning against Israel, and he said, Because this nation has not been true to my agreement which I made with their fathers, and has not given ear to my voice;

bbe@Judges:2:22 @In order to put Israel to the test, and see if they will keep the way of the Lord, walking in it as their fathers did, or not.

bbe@Judges:3:2 @Only because of the generations of the children of Israel, for the purpose of teaching them war--only those who up till then had no experience of it;

bbe@Judges:3:3 @The five chiefs of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites and the Zidonians and the Hivites living in Mount Lebanon, from the mountain Baal-hermon as far as Hamath:

bbe@Judges:3:5 @Now the children of Israel were living among the Canaanites, the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites:

bbe@Judges:3:10 @And the spirit of the Lord came on him and he became judge of Israel, and went out to war, and the Lord gave up Cushan-rishathaim, king of Mesopotamia, into his hands and he overcame him

bbe@Judges:3:15 @Then when the children of Israel made prayer to the Lord, he gave them a saviour, Ehud, the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a left-handed man; and the children of Israel sent an offering by him to Eglon, king of Moab.

bbe@Judges:3:16 @So Ehud made himself a two-edged sword, a cubit long, which he put on at his right side under his robe.

bbe@Judges:3:18 @And after giving the offering, he sent away the people who had come with the offering.

bbe@Judges:3:19 @But he himself, turning back from the stone images at Gilgal, said, I have something to say to you in secret, O king. And he said, Let there be quiet. Then all those who were waiting before him went out.

bbe@Judges:3:21 @And Ehud put out his left hand, and took the sword from his right side, and sent it into his stomach;

bbe@Judges:3:24 @Now when he had gone, the king's servants came, and saw that the doors of the summer-house were locked; and they said, It may be that he is in his summer-house for a private purpose.

bbe@Judges:3:25 @And they went on waiting till they were shamed, but the doors were still shut; so they took the key, and, opening them, saw their lord stretched out dead on the floor.

bbe@Judges:3:26 @But Ehud had got away while they were waiting and had gone past the stone images and got away to Seirah.

bbe@Judges:3:27 @And when he came there, he had a horn sounded in the hill-country of Ephraim, and all the children of Israel went down with him from the hill-country, and he at their head.

bbe@Judges:3:28 @And he said to them, Come after me; for the Lord has given the Moabites, your haters, into your hands. So they went down after him and took the crossing-places of Jordan against Moab, and let no one go across.

bbe@Judges:3:31 @And after him came Shamgar, the son of Anath, who put to death six hundred Philistines with an ox-stick; and he was another saviour of Israel.

bbe@Judges:4:6 @And she sent for Barak, the son of Abinoam, from Kedesh-naphtali, and said to him, Has not the Lord, the God of Israel, given orders saying, Go and get your force into line in Mount Tabor, and take with you ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?

bbe@Judges:4:7 @And I will make Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his war-carriages and his forces, come against you at the river Kishon, where I will give him into your hands.

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

bbe@Judges:4:9 @And she said, I will certainly go with you: though you will get no honour in your undertaking, for the Lord will give Sisera into the hands of a woman. So Deborah got up and went with Barak to Kedesh.

bbe@Judges:4:10 @Then Barak sent for Zebulun and Naphtali to come to Kedesh; and ten thousand men went up after him, and Deborah went up with him

bbe@Judges:4:11 @Now Heber the Kenite, separating himself from the rest of the Kenites, from the children of Hobab, the brother-in-law of Moses, had put up his tent as far away as the oak-tree in Zaanannim, by Kedesh.

bbe@Judges:4:13 @So Sisera got together all his war-carriages, nine hundred war-carriages of iron, and all the people who were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles as far as the river Kishon.

bbe@Judges:4:17 @But Sisera went in flight on foot to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite; for there was peace between Jabin, king of Hazor, and the family of Heber the Kenite.

bbe@Judges:4:18 @And Jael went out to Sisera, and said to him, Come in, my lord, come in to me without fear. So he went into her tent, and she put a cover over him.

bbe@Judges:4:19 @Then he said to her, Give me now a little water, for I have need of a drink. And opening a skin of milk, she gave him drink, and put the cover over him again.

bbe@Judges:4:21 @Then Jael, Heber's wife, took a tent-pin and a hammer and went up to him quietly, driving the pin into his head, and it went through his head into the earth, for he was in a deep sleep from weariness; and so he came to his end.

bbe@Judges:4:22 @Then Jael went out, and meeting Barak going after Sisera, said to him, Come, and I will let you see the man you are searching for. So he came into her tent and saw, and there was Sisera stretched out dead with the tent-pin in his head.

bbe@Judges:5:10 @Let them give thought to it, who go on white asses, and those who are walking on the road.

bbe@Judges:5:15 @Your chiefs, Issachar, were with Deborah; and Naphtali was true to Barak; into the valley they went rushing out at his feet. In Reuben there were divisions, and great searchings of heart.

bbe@Judges:5:17 @Gilead was living over Jordan; and Dan was waiting in his ships; Asher kept in his place by the sea's edge, living by his inlets.

bbe@Judges:5:18 @It was the people of Zebulun who put their lives in danger, even to death, with Naphtali on the high places of the field.

bbe@Judges:5:19 @The kings came on to the fight, the kings of Canaan were warring; in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo: they took no profit in money.

bbe@Judges:5:22 @Then loudly the feet of the horses were sounding with the stamping, the stamping of their war-horses.

bbe@Judges:5:23 @A curse, a curse on Meroz! said the angel of the Lord. A bitter curse on her townspeople! Because they came not to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord among the strong ones.

bbe@Judges:6:2 @And Midian was stronger than Israel; and because of the Midianites, the children of Israel made holes for themselves in the mountains, and hollows in the rocks, and strong places.

bbe@Judges:6:3 @And whenever Israel's grain was planted, the Midianites and the Amalekites and the people of the east came up against them;

bbe@Judges:6:4 @And put their army in position against them; and they took all the produce of the earth as far as Gaza, till there was no food in Israel, or any sheep or oxen or asses.

bbe@Judges:6:5 @For they came up regularly with their oxen and their tents; they came like the locusts in number; they and their camels were without number; and they came into the land for its destruction.

bbe@Judges:6:10 @And I said to you, I am the Lord your God; you are not to give worship to the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living, but you did not give ear to my voice.

bbe@Judges:6:11 @Now the angel of the Lord came and took his seat under the oak-tree in Ophrah, in the field of Joash the Abiezrite; and his son Gideon was crushing grain in the place where the grapes were crushed, so that the Midianites might not see it.

bbe@Judges:6:12 @And the angel of the Lord came before his eyes, and said to him, The Lord is with you, O man of war.

bbe@Judges:6:13 @Then Gideon said to him, O my lord, if the Lord is with us why has all this come on us? And where are all his works of power, of which our fathers have given us word, saying, Did not the Lord take us out of Egypt? But now he has given us up, handing us over to the power of Midian.

bbe@Judges:6:16 @Then the Lord said to him, Truly, I will be with you, and you will overcome the Midianites as if they were one man.

bbe@Judges:6:17 @So he said to him, If now I have grace in your eyes, then give me a sign that it is you who are talking to me.

bbe@Judges:6:18 @Do not go away till I come with my offering and put it before you. And he said, I will not go away before you come back.

bbe@Judges:6:19 @Then Gideon went in and made ready a young goat, and with an ephah of meal he made unleavened cakes: he put the meat in a basket and the soup in which it had been cooked he put in a pot, and he took it out to him under the oak-tree and gave it to him there.

bbe@Judges:6:21 @Then the angel of the Lord put out the stick which was in his hand, touching the meat and the cakes with the end of it; and a flame came up out of the rock, burning up the meat and the cakes: and the angel of the Lord was seen no longer.

bbe@Judges:6:23 @But the Lord said to him, Peace be with you; have no fear: you are in no danger of death.

bbe@Judges:6:24 @Then Gideon made an altar there to the Lord, and gave it the name Yahweh-shalom; to this day it is in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

bbe@Judges:6:25 @The same night the Lord said to him, Take ten men of your servants and an ox seven years old, and after pulling down the altar of Baal which is your father's, and cutting down the holy tree by its side,

bbe@Judges:6:26 @Make an altar to the Lord your God on the top of this rock, in the ordered way and take the ox and make a burned offering with the wood of the holy tree which has been cut down.

bbe@Judges:6:27 @Then Gideon took ten of his servants and did as the Lord had said to him; but fearing to do it by day, because of his father's people and the men of the town, he did it by night.

bbe@Judges:6:28 @And the men of the town got up early in the morning, and they saw the altar of Baal broken down, and the holy tree which was by it cut down, and the ox offered on the altar which had been put up there.

bbe@Judges:6:29 @And they said to one another, Who has done this thing? And after searching with care, they said, Gideon, the son of Joash, has done this thing.

bbe@Judges:6:30 @Then the men of the town said to Joash, Make your son come out to be put to death, for pulling down the altar of Baal and cutting down the holy tree which was by it.

bbe@Judges:6:31 @But Joash said to all those who were attacking him, Will you take up the cause of Baal? will you be his saviour? Let anyone who will take up his cause be put to death while it is still morning: if he is a god, let him take up his cause himself because of the pulling down of his altar.

bbe@Judges:6:33 @Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the people of the east, banding themselves together, went over and put up their tents in the valley of Jezreel.

bbe@Judges:6:34 @But the spirit of the Lord came on Gideon; and at the sound of his horn all Abiezer came together after him.

bbe@Judges:6:37 @See, I will put the wool of a sheep on the grain-floor; if there is dew on the wool only, while all the earth is dry, then I will be certain that it is your purpose to give Israel salvation by my hand as you have said.

bbe@Judges:6:38 @And it was so: for he got up early on the morning after, and twisting the wool in his hands, he got a basin full of water from the dew on the wool.

bbe@Judges:6:39 @Then Gideon said to God, Do not be moved to wrath against me if I say only this: let me make one more test with the wool; let the wool now be dry, while the earth is covered with dew.

bbe@Judges:6:40 @And that night God did so; for the wool was dry, and there was dew on all the earth round it.

bbe@Judges:7:1 @Then Jerubbaal, that is, Gideon, and all the people with him, got up early and put up their tents by the side of the water-spring of Harod; the tents of Midian were on the north side of him, under the hill of Moreh in the valley.

bbe@Judges:7:2 @And the Lord said to Gideon, So great is the number of your people, that if I give the Midianites into their hands they will be uplifted in pride over me and will say, I myself have been my saviour.

bbe@Judges:7:3 @So now, let it be given out to the people that anyone who is shaking with fear is to go back from Mount Galud. So twenty-two thousand of the people went back, but there were still ten thousand.

bbe@Judges:7:4 @Then the Lord said to Gideon, There are still more people than is necessary; take them down to the water so that I may put them to the test for you there; then whoever I say is to go with you will go, and whoever I say is not to go will not go.

bbe@Judges:7:5 @So he took the people down to the water; and the Lord said to Gideon, Put on one side by themselves all those drinking up the water with their tongues like a dog; and in the same way, all those who go down on their knees to the water while drinking.

bbe@Judges:7:6 @Now the number of those who took up the water with their tongues was three hundred; all the rest of the people went down on their knees to the water.

bbe@Judges:7:7 @And the Lord said to Gideon, By those three hundred who were drinking with their tongues I will give you salvation and give the Midianites into your hands; let the rest of the people go away, every man to his place.

bbe@Judges:7:10 @But if you have fear of going down, take your servant Purah with you and go down to the tents;

bbe@Judges:7:11 @And after hearing what they are saying, you will get strength to go down against the army. So he went down with his servant Purah to the outer line of the tents of the armed men.

bbe@Judges:7:12 @Now the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the people of the east were covering the valley like locusts; and their camels were like the sand by the seaside, without number.

bbe@Judges:7:13 @When Gideon came there, a man was giving his friend an account of his dream, saying, See, I had a dream about a cake of barley bread which, falling into the tents of Midian, came on to the tent, overturning it so that it was stretched out flat on the earth.

bbe@Judges:7:15 @Then Gideon, hearing the story of the dream and the sense in which they took it, gave worship; then he went back to the tents of Israel, and said, Up! for the Lord has given the army of Midian into your hands.

bbe@Judges:7:18 @At the sound of my horn, and the horns of those who are with me, let your horns be sounded all round the tents, and say, For the Lord and for Gideon.

bbe@Judges:7:19 @So Gideon and the three hundred men who were with him came to the outer line of tents, at the start of the middle watch, when the watchmen had only then taken their stations; and the horns were sounded and the vessels broken.

bbe@Judges:7:21 @Then they made a line round the tents, every man in his place; and all the army, awaking from sleep, came running out, and with loud cries went in flight.

bbe@Judges:7:22 @And the three hundred gave a loud note on their horns, and every man's sword was turned by the Lord against his brother all through the army; and the army went in flight as far as Beth-shittah in the direction of Zeredah, to the edge of Abel-meholah by Tabbath.

bbe@Judges:8:2 @And he said to them, What have I done in comparison with you? Is not that which Ephraim took up after the grape-cutting better than all the grapes which Abiezer got in from the grape-cutting?

bbe@Judges:8:3 @God has given into your hands the chiefs of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; what have I been able to do in comparison with you? And when he said this, their feeling about him became kinder.

bbe@Judges:8:4 @Then Gideon came to Jordan and went over it with his three hundred, overcome with weariness and in need of food.

bbe@Judges:8:5 @And he said to the men of Succoth, Give bread cakes to my people, for they are overcome with weariness, and I am going on after Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian.

bbe@Judges:8:10 @Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor and their armies with them, about fifteen thousand men, those of all the army of the children of the east who were still living; for a hundred and twenty thousand of their swordsmen had been put to death.

bbe@Judges:8:15 @So he came to the men of Succoth and said, Here are Zebah and Zalmunna, on account of whom you made sport of me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna even now in your hand, that we are to give bread to your army who are overcome with weariness?

bbe@Judges:8:23 @But Gideon said to them, I will not be a ruler over you, and my son will not be a ruler over you: it is the Lord who will be ruler over you.

bbe@Judges:8:24 @Then Gideon said to them, I have a request to make to you; let every man give me the ear-rings he has taken. (For they had gold ear-rings, because they were Ishmaelites.)

bbe@Judges:8:25 @And they gave answer, We will gladly give them. So they put down a robe, every man dropping into it the ear-rings he had taken.

bbe@Judges:8:26 @The weight of the gold ear-rings which he got from them was one thousand, seven hundred shekels of gold; in addition to the moon-ornaments and jewels and the purple robes which were on the kings of Midian, and the chains on their camels' necks.

bbe@Judges:8:27 @And Gideon made an ephod from them and put it up in his town Ophrah; and all Israel went after it there and were false to the Lord; and it became a cause of sin to Gideon and his house.

bbe@Judges:8:28 @So Midian was broken before the children of Israel and the Midianites never got back their strength. And the land had peace for forty years, in the days of Gideon.

bbe@Judges:8:32 @And Gideon, the son of Joash, came to his end when he was very old, and his body was put in the resting-place of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

bbe@Judges:8:33 @And after the death of Gideon, the children of Israel again went after the gods of Canaan and were false to the Lord, and made Baal-berith their god.

bbe@Judges:9:2 @Say now in the ears of all the townsmen of Shechem, Is it better for you to be ruled by all the seventy sons of Jerubbaal or by one man only? And keep in mind that I am your bone and your flesh.

bbe@Judges:9:4 @And they gave him seventy shekels of silver from the house of Baal-berith, with which Abimelech got the support of a number of uncontrolled and good-for-nothing persons.

bbe@Judges:9:7 @Now Jotham, on hearing of it, went to the top of Mount Gerizim, and crying out with a loud voice said to them, Give ear to me, you townsmen of Shechem, so that God may give ear to you.

bbe@Judges:9:11 @But the fig-tree said to them, Am I to give up my sweet taste and my good fruit and go waving over the trees?

bbe@Judges:9:15 @And the thorn said to the trees, If it is truly your desire to make me your king, then come and put your faith in my shade; and if not, may fire come out of the thorn, burning up the cedars of Lebanon.

bbe@Judges:9:23 @And God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the townsmen of Shechem; and the townsmen of Shechem were false to Abimelech;

bbe@Judges:9:26 @Then Gaal, the son of Ebed, came with his brothers, and went over to Shechem; and the men of Shechem put their faith in him.

bbe@Judges:9:27 @And they went out into their fields and got in the fruit of their vines, and when the grapes had been crushed, they made a holy feast and went into the house of their god, and over their food and drink they were cursing Abimelech.

bbe@Judges:9:28 @And Gaal, the son of Ebed, said, Who is Abimelech and who is Shechem, that we are to be his servants? Is it not right for the son of Jerubbaal and Zebul his captain to be servants to the men of Hamor, the father of Shechem? But why are we to be his servants?

bbe@Judges:9:29 @If only I had authority over this people! I would put Abimelech out of the way, and I would say to Abimelech, Make your army strong, and come out.

bbe@Judges:9:34 @So Abimelech and the people with him got up by night, in four bands, to make a surprise attack on Shechem.

bbe@Judges:9:35 @And Gaal, the son of Ebed, went out, and took his place at the doorway into the town; then Abimelech and his people got up from the place where they had been waiting.

bbe@Judges:9:42 @Now the day after, the people went out into the fields; and news of it came to Abimelech.

bbe@Judges:9:43 @And he took his people, separating them into three bands, and was waiting secretly in the field; and when he saw the people coming out of the town, he went up and made an attack on them.

bbe@Judges:9:44 @And Abimelech with his band made a rush, and took up their position at the doorway into the town; and the other two bands made a rush on all those who were in the fields, and overcame them.

bbe@Judges:9:45 @And all that day Abimelech was fighting against the town; and he took it, and put to death the people who were in it, and had the town pulled down and covered with salt.

bbe@Judges:9:46 @Then all the townsmen of the tower of Shechem, hearing of it, went into the inner room of the house of El-berith.

bbe@Judges:9:48 @Then Abimelech went up to Mount Zalmon, with all his people; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand and, cutting down branches of trees, took them and put them on his back. And he said to the people who were with him, Be quick and do as you have seen me do.

bbe@Judges:9:49 @So all the people got branches, every man cutting down a branch, and they went with Abimelech at their head and, massing the branches against the inner room, put fire to the room over them; so all those who were in the tower of Shechem, about a thousand men and women, were burned to death with it.

bbe@Judges:9:50 @Then Abimelech went to Thebez, and put his army in position against Thebez and took it.

bbe@Judges:9:52 @And Abimelech came to the tower and made an attack on it, and got near to the door of the tower for the purpose of firing it.

bbe@Judges:10:3 @And after him came Jair the Gileadite, who was judge over Israel for twenty-two years.

bbe@Judges:10:8 @And that year the children of Israel were crushed under their yoke; for eighteen years all the children of Israel on the other side of Jordan, in the land of the Amorites which is in Gilead, were cruelly crushed down.

bbe@Judges:10:11 @And the Lord said to the children of Israel, Were not the Egyptians and the Amorites and the children of Ammon and the Philistines

bbe@Judges:10:17 @Then the children of Ammon came together and put their army in position in Gilead. And the children of Israel came together and put their army in position in Mizpah.

bbe@Judges:11:1 @Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a great man of war; he was the son of a loose woman, and Gilead was his father.

bbe@Judges:11:2 @And Gilead's wife gave birth to sons, and when her sons became men, they sent Jephthah away, saying, You have no part in the heritage of our father's house, for you are the son of another woman.

bbe@Judges:11:3 @So Jephthah went in flight from his brothers and was living in the land of Tob, where a number of good-for-nothing men, joining Jephthah, went out with him on his undertakings.

bbe@Judges:11:8 @And the responsible men of Gilead said to Jephthah, That is the reason we have come back to you; so go with us and make war against the children of Ammon, and we will make you our head over all the people of Gilead.

bbe@Judges:11:9 @Then Jephthah said to the responsible men of Gilead, If you take me back to make war against the children of Ammon, and if with the help of the Lord I overcome them, will you make me your head?

bbe@Judges:11:10 @And the responsible men of Gilead said to Jephthah, May the Lord be our witness: we will certainly do as you say.

bbe@Judges:11:11 @So Jephthah went with the responsible men of Gilead, and the people made him head and chief over them; and Jephthah said all these things before the Lord in Mizpah

bbe@Judges:11:18 @Then he went on through the waste land and round the land of Edom and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and put up their tents on the other side of the Arnon; they did not come inside the limit of Moab, for the Arnon was the limit of Moab.

bbe@Judges:11:19 @And Israel sent men to Sihon, king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said to him, Let me now go through your land to my place.

bbe@Judges:11:20 @But Sihon would not give way and let Israel go through his land; and Sihon got together all his people, and put his army in position in Jahaz, and made war on Israel.

bbe@Judges:11:21 @And the Lord, the God of Israel, gave Sihon and all his people into the hands of Israel, and they overcame them; so all the land of the Amorites, the people of that land, became Israel's.

bbe@Judges:11:22 @All the limit of the Amorites was theirs, from the Arnon as far as the Jabbok and from the waste land even to Jordan.

bbe@Judges:11:23 @So now the Lord, the God of Israel, has taken away their land from the Amorites and given it to his people Israel; are you then to have it?

bbe@Judges:11:26 @While Israel was living in Heshbon and its daughter-towns and in Aroer and its daughter-towns and in all the towns which are by the side of the Arnon, for three hundred years, why did you not get them back at that time?

bbe@Judges:11:29 @Then the spirit of the Lord came on Jephthah, and he went through Gilead and Manasseh, and came to Mizpeh of Gilead; and from Mizpeh of Gilead he went over to the children of Ammon.

bbe@Judges:11:33 @And he made an attack on them from Aroer all the way to Minnith, overrunning twenty towns, as far as Abel-cheramim, and put great numbers to the sword. So the children of Ammon were crushed before the children of Israel.

bbe@Judges:11:34 @Then Jephthah came back to his house in Mizpah, and his daughter came out, meeting him on his way with music and with dances; she was his only child; he had no other sons or daughters.

bbe@Judges:11:35 @And when he saw her he was overcome with grief, and said, Ah! my daughter! I am crushed with sorrow, and it is you who are the chief cause of my trouble; for I have made an oath to the Lord and I may not take it back.

bbe@Judges:11:37 @Then she said to her father, Only do this for me: let me have two months to go away into the mountains with my friends, weeping for my sad fate.

bbe@Judges:11:38 @And he said, Go then. So he sent her away for two months; and she went with her friends to the mountains, weeping for her sad fate.

bbe@Judges:11:39 @And at the end of two months she went back to her father, who did with her as he had said in his oath: and she had never been touched by a man. So it became a rule in Israel,

bbe@Judges:11:40 @For the women to go year by year sorrowing for the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite, four days in every year.

bbe@Judges:12:1 @Now the men of Ephraim came together and took up arms and went over to Zaphon; and they said to Jephthah, Why did you go over to make war against the children of Ammon without sending for us to go with you? Now we will put your house on fire over you.

bbe@Judges:12:5 @And the Gileadites took the crossing-places of Jordan against the Ephraimites; and when any of the men of Ephraim who had gone in flight said, let me go over; the men of Gilead said to him, Are you an Ephraimite? And if he said, No;

bbe@Judges:12:6 @Then they said to him, Now say Shibboleth; and he said Sibboleth, and was not able to say it in the right way; then they took him and put him to death at the crossing-places of Jordan; and at that time forty-two thousand Ephraimites were put to death.

bbe@Judges:12:7 @Now Jephthah was judge of Israel for six years. And Jephthah the Gileadite came to his death, and his body was put to rest in his town, Mizpeh of Gilead.

bbe@Judges:12:11 @And after him, Elon the Zebulonite was judge of Israel; and he was judge of Israel for ten years.

bbe@Judges:12:12 @And Elon the Zebulonite came to his death, and his body was put to rest in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.

bbe@Judges:12:13 @And after him, Abdon, the son of Hillel, the Pirathonite, was judge of Israel

bbe@Judges:12:15 @And Abdon, the son of Hillel, came to his death, and his body was put to rest in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the hill-country of the Amalekites.

bbe@Judges:13:2 @Now there was a certain man of Zorah of the family of the Danites, and his name was Manoah; and his wife had never given birth to a child.

bbe@Judges:13:3 @And the angel of the Lord came to the woman, and said to her, See now! though you have never given birth to children, you will be with child and give birth to a son.

bbe@Judges:13:5 @For you are with child and will give birth to a son; his hair is never to be cut, for the child is to be separate to God from his birth; and he will take up the work of freeing Israel from the hands of the Philistines.

bbe@Judges:13:7 @But he said to me, You are with child and will give birth to a son; and now do not take any wine or strong drink or let anything unclean be your food; for the child will be separate to God from his birth to the day of his death.

bbe@Judges:13:9 @And God gave ear to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came to the woman again when she was seated in the field; but her husband Manoah was not with her.

bbe@Judges:13:16 @And the angel of the Lord said to Manoah, Though you keep me I will not take of your food; but if you will make a burned offering, let it be offered to the Lord. For it had not come into Manoah's mind that he was the angel of the Lord.

bbe@Judges:13:18 @But the angel of the Lord said to him, Why are you questioning me about my name, seeing that it is a wonder?

bbe@Judges:13:19 @So Manoah took the young goat with its meal offering, offering it on the rock to the Lord, who did strange things.

bbe@Judges:13:21 @But the angel of the Lord was seen no more by Manoah and his wife. Then it was clear to Manoah that he was the angel of the Lord.

bbe@Judges:13:22 @And Manoah said to his wife, Death will certainly be our fate, for it is a god whom we have seen.

bbe@Judges:13:25 @And the spirit of the Lord first came on him in Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.

bbe@Judges:14:3 @Then his father and mother said to him, Is there no woman among the daughters of your relations or among all my people, that you have to go for your wife to the Philistines, who are without circumcision? But Samson said to his father, Get her for me, for she is pleasing to me.

bbe@Judges:14:6 @And the spirit of the Lord came on him with power, and, unarmed as he was, pulling the lion in two as one might do to a young goat, he put him to death; (but he said nothing to his father and mother of what he had done.)

bbe@Judges:14:7 @So he went down and had talk with the woman; and she was pleasing to Samson.

bbe@Judges:14:9 @And he took the honey in his hand, and went on, tasting it on the way; and when he came to his father and mother he gave some to them; but did not say that he had taken the honey from the body of the lion.

bbe@Judges:14:11 @And he took thirty friends, and they were with him.

bbe@Judges:14:13 @But if you are not able to give me the answer, then you will have to give me thirty linen robes and thirty changes of clothing. And they said to him, Put your hard question and let us see what it is.

bbe@Judges:14:15 @So on the fourth day they said to Samson's wife, Get from your husband the answer to his question by some trick or other, or we will have you and your father's house burned with fire; did you get us here to take all we have?

bbe@Judges:14:16 @Then Samson's wife, weeping over him, said, Truly you have no love for me but only hate; you have put a hard question to the children of my people and have not given me the answer. And he said to her, See, I have not given the answer even to my father or my mother; am I to give it to you?

bbe@Judges:14:17 @And all the seven days of the feast she went on weeping over him; and on the seventh day he gave her the answer, because she gave him no peace; and she sent word of it to the children of her people

bbe@Judges:14:18 @Then on the seventh day, before he went into the bride's room, the men of the town said to him, What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said to them, If you had not been ploughing with my cow you would not have got the answer to my question.

bbe@Judges:14:19 @And the spirit of the Lord came rushing on him, and he went down to Ashkelon and, attacking thirty men there, took their clothing from them, and gave it to the men who had given the answer to his hard question. Then, full of wrath, he went back to his father's house.

bbe@Judges:15:1 @Now a short time after, at the time of the grain-cutting, Samson, taking with him a young goat, went to see his wife; and he said, I will go in to my wife into the bride's room. But her father would not let him go in.

bbe@Judges:15:2 @And her father said, It seemed to me that you had only hate for her; so I gave her to your friend: but is not her younger sister fairer than she? so please take her in place of the other.

bbe@Judges:15:4 @So Samson went and got three hundred foxes and some sticks of fire-wood; and he put the foxes tail to tail with a stick between every two tails;

bbe@Judges:15:6 @Then the Philistines said, Who has done this? And they said, Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he took his wife and gave her to his friend. So the Philistines came up and had her and her father's house burned.

bbe@Judges:15:7 @And Samson said to them, If you go on like this, truly I will take my full payment from you; and that will be the end of it.

bbe@Judges:15:11 @Then three thousand of the men of Judah went down to the crack of the rock of Etam, and said to Samson, Is it not clear to you that the Philistines are our rulers? What is this you have done to us? And he said to them, I only did to them as they did to me.

bbe@Judges:15:14 @And when he came to Lehi, the Philistines came out, meeting him with loud cries; then the spirit of the Lord came rushing on him, and the cords on his arms became like grass which has been burned with fire, and the bands came falling off his hands.

bbe@Judges:15:15 @And taking up the mouth-bone of an ass newly dead, which he saw by chance on the earth, he put to death a thousand men with it.

bbe@Judges:15:16 @And Samson said, With a red ass's mouth-bone I have made them red with blood, with a red ass's mouth-bone I have sent destruction on a thousand men.

bbe@Judges:15:18 @After this, he was in great need of water, and crying out to the Lord, he said, You have given this great salvation by the hand of your servant, and now need of water will be my death; and I will be given into the hands of this people who are without circumcision.

bbe@Judges:15:19 @Then God made a crack in the hollow rock in Lehi and water came out of it; and after drinking, his spirit came back to him and he was strong again; so that place was named En-hakkore; it is in Lehi to this day

bbe@Judges:16:2 @And it was said to the Gazites, Samson is here. So they went round, watching for him all day at the doorway of the town, but at night they kept quiet, saying, When daylight comes we will put him to death.

bbe@Judges:16:3 @And Samson was there till the middle of the night; then he got up, and took a grip on the doors of the town, pulling them up, together with their two supports and their locks, and put them on his back and took them up to the top of the hill in front of Hebron.

bbe@Judges:16:4 @Now after this, he was in love with a woman in the valley of Sorek, named Delilah.

bbe@Judges:16:9 @Now she had men waiting secretly in the inner room; and she said to him, The Philistines are on you, Samson. And the cords were broken by him as a twist of thread is broken when touched by a flame. So the secret of his strength did not come to light.

bbe@Judges:16:10 @Then Delilah said to Samson, See, you have been making sport of me with false words; now, say truly how may you be put in bands?

bbe@Judges:16:12 @So Delilah took new thick cords, knotting them tightly round him, and said to him, The Philistines are on you, Samson. And men were waiting secretly in the inner room. And the cords were broken off his arms like threads.

bbe@Judges:16:13 @Then Delilah said to Samson, Up to now you have made sport of me with false words; now say truly, how may you be put in bands? And he said to her, If you get the seven twists of my hair worked into the cloth you are making and fixed with the pin, I will become feeble and will be like any other man.

bbe@Judges:16:14 @So while he was sleeping she got the seven twists of his hair worked into her cloth and fixed with the pin, and said to him, The Philistines are on you, Samson. Then awaking from his sleep, he got up quickly, pulling up cloth and machine together.

bbe@Judges:16:18 @And when Delilah saw that he had let her see into his heart, she sent word to the chiefs of the Philistines saying, Come up this time, for he has let out all his heart to me. Then the chiefs of the Philistines came to her, with the money in their hands.

bbe@Judges:16:19 @And she made him go to sleep on her knees; and she sent for a man and had his seven twists of hair cut off; and while it was being done he became feeble and his strength went from him.

bbe@Judges:16:21 @So the Philistines took him and put out his eyes; then they took him down to Gaza, and, chaining him with bands of brass, put him to work crushing grain in the prison-house

bbe@Judges:16:22 @But the growth of his hair was starting again after it had been cut off.

bbe@Judges:16:29 @Then Samson put his arms round the two middle pillars supporting the house, putting his weight on them, on one with his right hand and on the other with his left.

bbe@Judges:16:30 @And Samson said, Let death overtake me with the Philistines. And he put out all his strength, and the house came down on the chiefs and on all the people who were in it. So the dead whom he sent to destruction by his death were more than all those on whom he had sent destruction in his life.

bbe@Judges:17:2 @And he said to his mother, The eleven hundred shekels of silver which were taken from you, about which you took an oath and said in my hearing, I have given this silver to the Lord from my hand for myself, to make a pictured image and a metal image: see, I have the silver, for I took it: so now I will give it back to you. And his mother said, May the blessing of the Lord be on my son.

bbe@Judges:17:4 @So he gave the silver back to his mother. Then his mother took two hundred shekels of silver and gave them to a metal-worker who made a pictured image and a metal image from them: and it was in the house of Micah.

bbe@Judges:17:5 @And the man Micah had a house of gods; and he made an ephod and family gods and put one of his sons in the position of priest.

bbe@Judges:17:7 @Now there was a young man living in Beth-lehem-judah, of the family of Judah and a Levite, who was not a townsman of the place.

bbe@Judges:17:9 @And Micah said to him, Where do you come from? And he said to him, I am a Levite from Beth-lehem-judah, and I am looking for a living-place.

bbe@Judges:17:10 @Then Micah said to him, Make your living-place with me, and be a father and a priest to me, and I will give you ten shekels of silver a year and your clothing and food.

bbe@Judges:17:11 @And the Levite said he would make his living-place with the man, and he became to him as one of his sons.

bbe@Judges:17:12 @And Micah gave the position to the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.

bbe@Judges:17:13 @Then Micah said, Now I am certain that the Lord will do me good, seeing that the Levite has become my priest.

bbe@Judges:18:1 @In those days there was no king in Israel, and in those days the Danites were looking for a heritage for themselves, to be their living-place; for up to that time no distribution of land had been made to them among the tribes of Israel.

bbe@Judges:18:2 @So the children of Dan sent five men from among their number, strong men, from Zorah and from Eshtaol, to take a look at the land and make a search through it; and they said to them, Go and make a search through the land; and they came to the hill-country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, where they made a stop for the night.

bbe@Judges:18:3 @When they were near the house of Micah, hearing a voice which was not strange to them, that of the young Levite, they went out of their road to his place, and said to him, How did you come here? and what are you doing in this place? and why are you here?

bbe@Judges:18:7 @Then the five men went on their way and came to Laish and saw the people who were there, living without thought of danger, like the Zidonians, quiet and safe; for they had everything on earth for their needs, and they were far from the Zidonians and had no business with Aram.

bbe@Judges:18:9 @And they said, Up! and let us go against Laish; for we have seen the land, and it is very good: why are you doing nothing? Do not be slow to go in and take the land for your heritage.

bbe@Judges:18:10 @When you come there you will come to a people living without thought of danger; and the land is wide, and God has given it into your hands: a place where there is everything on earth for man's needs

bbe@Judges:18:11 @So six hundred men of the Danites from Zorah and Eshtaol went out armed with instruments of war.

bbe@Judges:18:12 @And they went up and put up their tents in Kiriath-jearim in Judah: so that place is named Mahaneh-dan to this day. It is to the west of Kiriath-jearim.

bbe@Judges:18:15 @And turning from their road they came to the house of the young Levite, the house of Micah, and said to him, Is it well with you?

bbe@Judges:18:16 @And the six hundred armed men of the Danites took their places by the doorway.

bbe@Judges:18:17 @Then the five men who had gone to make a search through the land, went in and took the pictured image and the ephod and the family gods and the metal image; and the priest was by the doorway with the six hundred armed men.

bbe@Judges:18:19 @And they said to him, Be quiet; say nothing, and come with us and be our father and priest; is it better for you to be priest to one man's house or to be priest to a tribe and a family in Israel?

bbe@Judges:18:20 @Then the priest's heart was glad, and he took the ephod and the family gods and the pictured image and went with the people.

bbe@Judges:18:21 @So they went on their way again, putting the little ones and the oxen and the goods in front of them.

bbe@Judges:18:23 @Crying out to them. And the Danites, turning round, said to Micah, What is your trouble, that you have taken up arms?

bbe@Judges:18:25 @And the children of Dan said to him, Say no more, or men of bitter spirit may make an attack on you, causing loss of your life and the lives of your people.

bbe@Judges:18:27 @And they took that which Micah had made, and his priest, and came to Laish, to a people living quietly and without thought of danger, and they put them to the sword without mercy, burning down their town.

bbe@Judges:18:28 @And they had no saviour, because it was far from Zidon, and they had no business with Aram; and it was in the valley which is the property of Beth-rehob. And building up the town again they took it for their living-place.

bbe@Judges:18:30 @(And the children of Dan put up the pictured image for themselves; and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, and his sons were priests for the tribe of the Danites till the day when the ark was taken prisoner.)

bbe@Judges:18:31 @And they put up for themselves the image which Micah had made, and it was there all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh.

bbe@Judges:19:1 @Now in those days, when there was no king in Israel, a certain Levite was living in the inmost parts of the hill-country of Ephraim, and he got for himself a servant-wife from Beth-lehem-judah.

bbe@Judges:19:2 @And his servant-wife was angry with him, and went away from him to her father's house at Beth-lehem-judah, and was there for four months.

bbe@Judges:19:3 @Then her husband got up and went after her, with the purpose of talking kindly to her, and taking her back with him; he had with him his young man and two asses: and she took him into her father's house, and her father, when he saw him, came forward to him with joy.

bbe@Judges:19:5 @Now on the fourth day they got up early in the morning and he made ready to go away; but the girl's father said to his son-in-law, Take a little food to keep up your strength, and then go on your way.

bbe@Judges:19:6 @So seating themselves they had food and drink, the two of them together; and the girl's father said to the man, If it is your pleasure, take your rest here tonight, and let your heart be glad.

bbe@Judges:19:10 @But the man would not be kept there that night, and he got up and went away and came opposite to Jebus (which is Jerusalem); and he had with him the two asses, ready for travelling, and his woman

bbe@Judges:19:11 @When they got near Jebus the day was far gone; and the servant said to his master, Now let us go from our road into this town of the Jebusites and take our night's rest there.

bbe@Judges:19:15 @And they went off the road there with the purpose of stopping for the night in Gibeah: and he went in, seating himself in the street of the town, for no one took them into his house for the night.

bbe@Judges:19:16 @Now when it was evening they saw an old man coming back from his work in the fields; he was from the hill-country of Ephraim and was living in Gibeah: but the men of the place were Benjamites.

bbe@Judges:19:19 @But we have dry grass and food for our asses, as well as bread and wine for me, and for the woman, and for the young man with us: we have no need of anything.

bbe@Judges:19:20 @And the old man said, Peace be with you; let all your needs be my care; only do not take your rest in the street.

bbe@Judges:19:22 @While they were taking their pleasure at the meal, the good-for-nothing men of the town came round the house, giving blows on the door; and they said to the old man, the master of the house, Send out that man who came to your house, so that we may take our pleasure with him.

bbe@Judges:19:24 @See, here is my daughter, a virgin, and his servant-wife: I will send them out for you to take them and do with them whatever you will. But do no such thing of shame to this man.

bbe@Judges:19:26 @Then at the dawn of day the woman came, and, falling down at the door of the man's house where her master was, was stretched there till it was light.

bbe@Judges:19:27 @In the morning her master got up, and opening the door of the house went out to go on his way; and he saw his servant-wife stretched on the earth at the door of the house with her hands on the step.

bbe@Judges:19:30 @And he gave orders to the men whom he sent, saying, This is what you are to say to all the men of Israel, Has ever an act like this been done from the day when the children of Israel came out of Egypt to this day? Give thought to it, turning it over in your minds, and give your opinion of it.

bbe@Judges:20:2 @And the chiefs of the people, out of all the tribes of Israel, took their places in the meeting of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen armed with swords.

bbe@Judges:20:4 @Then the Levite, the husband of the dead woman, said in answer, I came to Gibeah in the land of Benjamin, I and my servant-wife, for the purpose of stopping there for the night.

bbe@Judges:20:5 @And the townsmen of Gibeah came together against me, going round the house on all sides by night; it was their purpose to put me to death, and my servant-wife was violently used by them and is dead.

bbe@Judges:20:6 @So I took her, cutting her into parts which I sent through all the country of the heritage of Israel: for they have done an act of shame in Israel.

bbe@Judges:20:9 @But this is what we will do to Gibeah: we will go up against it by the decision of the Lord;

bbe@Judges:20:11 @So all the men of Israel were banded together against the town, united like one man.

bbe@Judges:20:14 @And the children of Benjamin came together from all their towns to Gibeah, to go to war with the children of Israel.

bbe@Judges:20:15 @And the children of Benjamin who came that day from the towns were twenty-six thousand men armed with swords, in addition to the people of Gibeah, numbering seven hundred of the best fighting-men,

bbe@Judges:20:16 @Who were left-handed, able to send a stone at a hair without error.

bbe@Judges:20:17 @And the men of Israel, other than Benjamin, were four hundred thousand in number, all armed with swords; they were all men of war.

bbe@Judges:20:19 @So the children of Israel got up in the morning and put themselves in position against Gibeah.

bbe@Judges:20:21 @Then the children of Benjamin came out from Gibeah, cutting down twenty-two thousand of the Israelites that day.

bbe@Judges:20:22 @But the people, the men of Israel, taking heart again, put their forces in order and took up the same position as on the first day.

bbe@Judges:20:26 @Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up to Beth-el, weeping and waiting there before the Lord, going without food all day till evening, and offering burned offerings and peace-offerings before the Lord.

bbe@Judges:20:28 @And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, was in his place before it,) and said, Am I still to go on with the fight against the children of Benjamin my brother, or am I to give it up? And the Lord said, Go on; for tomorrow I will give him into your hands.

bbe@Judges:20:29 @So Israel put men secretly all round Gibeah to make a surprise attack on it.

bbe@Judges:20:33 @So all the men of Israel got up and put themselves in fighting order at Baal-tamar: and those who had been waiting secretly to make a surprise attack came rushing out of their place on the west of Geba.

bbe@Judges:20:36 @So the children of Benjamin saw that they were overcome: and the men of Israel had given way before Benjamin, putting their faith in the watchers who were to make the surprise attack on Gibeah.

bbe@Judges:20:37 @And the watchers, rushing on Gibeah and overrunning it, put all the town to the sword without mercy.

bbe@Judges:20:40 @Then the sign went up out of the town in the pillar of smoke, and the Benjamites, turning back, saw all the town going up in smoke to heaven.

bbe@Judges:20:41 @And the men of Israel had made a turn about, and the men of Benjamin were overcome with fear, for they saw that evil had overtaken them.

bbe@Judges:20:48 @And the men of Israel, turning again against the children of Benjamin, put to the sword without mercy all the towns and the cattle and everything there was, burning every town which came into their hands.

bbe@Judges:21:2 @And the people came to Beth-el, waiting there till evening before God, and gave themselves up to bitter weeping.

bbe@Judges:21:6 @And the children of Israel were moved with pity for Benjamin their brother, saying, Today one tribe has been cut off from Israel.

bbe@Judges:21:8 @And they said, Which one of the tribes of Israel did not come up to Mizpah to the Lord? And it was seen that no one had come from Jabesh-gilead to the meeting.

bbe@Judges:21:10 @So they (the meeting) sent twelve thousand of the best fighting-men, and gave them orders, saying, Go and put the people of Jabesh-gilead to the sword without mercy, with their women and their little ones.

bbe@Judges:21:11 @And this is what you are to do: every male, and every woman who has had sex relations with a man, you are to put to the curse, but you are to keep safe the virgins. And they did so.

bbe@Judges:21:12 @Now there were among the people of Jabesh-gilead four hundred young virgins who had never had sex relations with a man; these they took to their tents in Shiloh in the land of Canaan.

bbe@Judges:21:15 @And the people were moved with pity for Benjamin, because the Lord had let his wrath loose on the tribes of Israel.

bbe@Judges:21:20 @And they said to the men of Benjamin, Go into the vine-gardens, waiting there secretly,

bbe@Judges:21:23 @So the men of Benjamin did this, and got wives for themselves for every one of their number, taking them away by force from the dance; then they went back to their heritage, building up their towns and living in them.

bbe@Judges:21:24 @Then the children of Israel went away from there, every man to his tribe and his family, every man went back to his heritage.

bbe@Ruth:1:2 @And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Beth-lehem-judah. And they came into the country of Moab, and were there for some time.

bbe@Ruth:1:3 @And Elimelech, Naomi's husband, came to his end; and only her two sons were with her.

bbe@Ruth:1:5 @And Mahlon and Chilion came to their end; and the woman was without her two sons and her husband.

bbe@Ruth:1:7 @And she went out of the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her; and they went on their way to go back to the land of Judah.

bbe@Ruth:1:9 @May the Lord give you rest in the houses of your husbands. Then she gave them a kiss; and they were weeping bitterly.

bbe@Ruth:1:10 @And they said to her, No, but we will go back with you to your people.

bbe@Ruth:1:11 @But Naomi said, Go back, my daughters; why will you come with me? Have I more sons in my body, to become your husbands?

bbe@Ruth:1:16 @But Ruth said, Give up requesting me to go away from you, or to go back without you: for where you go I will go; and where you take your rest I will take my rest; your people will be my people, and your God my God.

bbe@Ruth:1:18 @And when she saw that Ruth was strong in her purpose to go with her she said no more.

bbe@Ruth:1:20 @And she said to them, Do not let my name be Naomi, but Mara, for the Ruler of all has given me a bitter fate.

bbe@Ruth:1:21 @I went out full, and the Lord has sent me back again with nothing; why do you give me the name Naomi, seeing that the Lord has given witness against me, and the Ruler of all has sent sorrow on me?

bbe@Ruth:1:22 @So Naomi came back out of the country of Moab, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her; and they came to Beth-lehem in the first days of the grain-cutting.

bbe@Ruth:2:2 @And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, Now let me go into the field and take up the heads of grain after him in whose eyes I may have grace. And she said to her, Go, my daughter.

bbe@Ruth:2:4 @And Boaz came from Beth-lehem, and said to the grain-cutters, The Lord be with you. And they made answer, The Lord give you his blessing.

bbe@Ruth:2:5 @Then Boaz said to his servant who was in authority over the cutters, Whose girl is this?

bbe@Ruth:2:6 @And the servant who was in authority over the cutters said, It is a Moabite girl who came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab;

bbe@Ruth:2:7 @And she said to me, Let me come into the grain-field and take up the grain after the cutters. So she came, and has been here from morning till now, without resting even for a minute.

bbe@Ruth:2:14 @And at meal-time Boaz said to her, Come here, and take some of the bread, and put your bit into the wine. And she took her seat among the grain-cutters: and he gave her dry grain, and she took it, and there was more than enough for her meal.

bbe@Ruth:2:15 @And when she got ready to take up the grain, Boaz gave his young men orders, saying, Let her take it even from among the cut grain, and say nothing to her.

bbe@Ruth:2:17 @So she went on getting together the heads of grain till evening; and after crushing out the seed it came to about an ephah of grain.

bbe@Ruth:2:18 @And she took it up and went into the town; and she let her mother-in-law see what she had got, and after taking enough for herself she gave her the rest.

bbe@Ruth:2:19 @And her mother-in-law said to her, Where did you take up the grain today, and where were you working? May a blessing be on him who gave such attention to you. And she gave her mother-in-law an account of where she had been working, and said, The name of the man with whom I was working today is Boaz.

bbe@Ruth:2:21 @And Ruth the Moabitess said, Truly, he said to me, Keep near my young men till all my grain is cut.

bbe@Ruth:2:22 @And Naomi said to Ruth, her daughter-in-law, It is better, my daughter, for you to go out with his servant-girls, so that no danger may come to you in another field.

bbe@Ruth:2:23 @So she kept near the servant-girls of Boaz to take up the grain till the cutting of the early grain and the cutting of the late grain were ended; and she went on living with her mother-in-law.

bbe@Ruth:3:2 @And now, is there not Boaz, our relation, with whose young women you were? See, tonight he is separating the grain from the waste in his grain-floor.

bbe@Ruth:3:3 @So take a bath, and, after rubbing your body with sweet oil, put on your best robe, and go down to the grain-floor; but do not let him see you till he has come to the end of his meal.

bbe@Ruth:3:4 @But see to it, when he goes to rest, that you take note of the place where he is sleeping, and go in there, and, uncovering his feet, take your place by him; and he will say what you are to do.

bbe@Ruth:3:10 @And he said, May the Lord give you his blessing, my daughter: even better than what you did at the first is this last kind act you have done, in not going after young men, with or without wealth

bbe@Ruth:3:11 @And now, my daughter, have no fear; I will do for you whatever you say: for it is clear to all my townspeople that you are a woman of virtue.

bbe@Ruth:3:12 @Now it is true that I am a near relation: but there is a relation nearer than I.

bbe@Ruth:3:13 @Take your rest here tonight; and in the morning, if he will do for you what it is right for a relation to do, very well, let him do so: but if he will not, then by the living Lord I myself will do so.

bbe@Ruth:3:14 @And she took her rest at his feet till the morning: and she got up before it was light enough for one to see another. And he said, Let it not come to anyone's knowledge that the woman came to the grain-floor.

bbe@Ruth:3:15 @And he said, Take your robe, stretching it out in your hands: and she did so, and he took six measures of grain and put them into it, and gave it her to take: and she went back to the town.

bbe@Ruth:3:16 @And when she came back her mother-in-law said to her, How did it go with you, my daughter? And she gave her an account of all the man had done to her.

bbe@Ruth:3:17 @And she said, He gave me these six measures of grain, saying, Do not go back to your mother-in-law with nothing in your hands.

bbe@Ruth:4:3 @Then he said to the near relation, Naomi, who has come back from the country of Moab, is offering for a price that bit of land which was our brother Elimelech's:

bbe@Ruth:4:4 @And it was in my mind to give you the chance of taking it, with the approval of those seated here and of the responsible men of my people. If you are ready to do what it is right for a relation to do, then do it: but if you will not do it, say so to me now; for there is no one who has the right to do it but you, and after you myself. And he said, I will do it.

bbe@Ruth:4:5 @Then Boaz said, On the day when you take this field, you will have to take with it Ruth, the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, so that you may keep the name of the dead living in his heritage.

bbe@Ruth:4:6 @And the near relation said, I am not able to do the relation's part, for fear of damaging the heritage I have: you may do it in my place, for I am not able to do it myself.

bbe@Ruth:4:7 @Now, in earlier times this was the way in Israel when property was taken over by a near relation, or when there was a change of owner. To make the exchange certain one man took off his shoe and gave it to the other; and this was a witness in Israel.

bbe@Ruth:4:8 @So the near relation said to Boaz, Take it for yourself. And he took off his shoe.

bbe@Ruth:4:9 @Then Boaz said to the responsible men and to all the people, You are witnesses today that I have taken at a price from Naomi all the property which was Elimelech's, and everything which was Chilion's and Mahlon's.

bbe@Ruth:4:10 @And, further, I have taken Ruth, the Moabitess, who was the wife of Mahlon, to be my wife, to keep the name of the dead man living in his heritage, so that his name may not be cut off from among his countrymen, and from the memory of his town: you are witnesses this day

bbe@Ruth:4:11 @And all the people who were in the public place, and the responsible men, said, We are witnesses. May the Lord make this woman, who is about to come into your house, like Rachel and Leah, which two were the builders of the house of Israel: and may you have wealth in Ephrathah, and be great in Beth-lehem;

bbe@Ruth:4:13 @So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife; and he went in to her, and the Lord made her with child and she gave birth to a son.

bbe@Ruth:4:14 @And the women said to Naomi, A blessing on the Lord, who has not let you be this day without a near relation, and may his name be great in Israel.

bbe@Ruth:4:16 @And Naomi took the child and put her arms round it, and she took care of it.

bbe@Ruth:4:17 @And the women who were her neighbours gave it a name, saying, Naomi has a child; and they gave him the name of Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.

bbe@1Samuel:1:1 @Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim, a Zuphite of the hill-country of Ephraim, named Elkanah; he was the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite:

bbe@1Samuel:1:10 @And with grief in her soul, weeping bitterly, she made her prayer to the Lord.

bbe@1Samuel:1:13 @For Hannah's prayer came from her heart, and though her lips were moving she made no sound: so it seemed to Eli that she was overcome with wine.

bbe@1Samuel:1:15 @And Hannah, answering him, said, No, my lord, I am a woman whose spirit is broken with sorrow: I have not taken wine or strong drink, but I have been opening my heart before the Lord.

bbe@1Samuel:1:19 @And early in the morning they got up, and after worshipping before the Lord they went back to Ramah, to their house: and Elkanah had connection with his wife; and the Lord kept her in mind.

bbe@1Samuel:1:20 @Now the time came when Hannah, being with child, gave birth to a son; and she gave him the name Samuel, Because, she said, I made a prayer to the Lord for him.

bbe@1Samuel:1:21 @And the man Elkanah with all his family went up to make the year's offering to the Lord, and to give effect to his oath.

bbe@1Samuel:1:22 @But Hannah did not go, for she said to her husband, I will not go till the child has been taken from the breast, and then I will take him with me and put him before the Lord, where he may be for ever.

bbe@1Samuel:1:23 @And her husband Elkanah said to her, Do whatever seems right to you, but not till you have taken him from the breast; only may the Lord do as he has said. So the woman, waiting there, gave her son milk till he was old enough to be taken from the breast.

bbe@1Samuel:1:24 @Then when she had done so, she took him with her, with a three-year old ox and an ephah of meal and a skin full of wine, and took him to the house of the Lord at Shiloh: now the child was still very young.

bbe@1Samuel:2:4 @The bows of the men of war are broken, and the feeble are clothed with strength.

bbe@1Samuel:2:5 @Those who were full are offering themselves as servants for bread; those who were in need are at rest; truly, she who had no children has become the mother of seven; and she who had a family is wasted with sorrow.

bbe@1Samuel:2:8 @Lifting the poor out of the dust, and him who is in need out of the lowest place, to give them their place among rulers, and for their heritage the seat of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord's and he has made them the base of the world.

bbe@1Samuel:2:13 @And the priests' way with the people was this: when any man made an offering, the priest's servant came while the flesh was being cooked, having in his hand a meat-hook with three teeth;

bbe@1Samuel:2:14 @This he put into the pot, and everything which came up on the hook the priest took for himself. This they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there.

bbe@1Samuel:2:15 @And more than this, before the fat was burned, the priest's servant would come and say to the man who was making the offering, Give me some of the flesh to be cooked for the priest; he has no taste for meat cooked in water, but would have you give it uncooked.

bbe@1Samuel:2:16 @And if the man said to him, First let the fat be burned, then take as much as you will; then the servant would say, No, you are to give it to me now, or I will take it by force.

bbe@1Samuel:2:19 @And his mother made him a little robe and took it to him every year when she came with her husband for the year's offering.

bbe@1Samuel:2:25 @If one man does wrong to another, God will be his judge: but if a man's sin is against the Lord, who will take up his cause? But they gave no attention to the voice of their father, for it was the Lord's purpose to send destruction on them.

bbe@1Samuel:2:29 @Why then are you looking with envy on my offerings of meat and of meal which were ordered by my word, honouring your sons before me, and making yourselves fat with all the best of the offerings of Israel, my people?

bbe@1Samuel:2:30 @For this reason the Lord God of Israel has said, Truly I did say that your family and your father's people would have their place before me for ever: but now the Lord says, Let it not be so; I will give honour to those by whom I am honoured, and those who have no respect for me will be of small value in my eyes.

bbe@1Samuel:2:36 @Then it will be that the rest of your family, anyone who has not been cut off, will go down on his knees to him for a bit of silver or a bit of bread, and say, Be pleased to put me into one of the priest's places so that I may have a little food.

bbe@1Samuel:3:8 @And for the third time the Lord said Samuel's name. And he got up and went to Eli and said, Here am I; for you certainly said my name. Then it was clear to Eli that the voice which had said the child's name was the Lord's.

bbe@1Samuel:3:11 @And the Lord said to Samuel, See, I will do a thing in Israel at which the ears of everyone hearing of it will be burning.

bbe@1Samuel:3:17 @And he said, What did the Lord say to you? Do not keep it from me: may God's punishment be on you if you keep from me anything he said to you.

bbe@1Samuel:3:18 @Then Samuel gave him an account of everything, keeping nothing back. And he said, It is the Lord; let him do what seems good to him.

bbe@1Samuel:3:19 @And Samuel became older, and the Lord was with him and let not one of his words be without effect.

bbe@1Samuel:3:20 @And it was clear to all Israel from Dan to Beer-sheba that Samuel had been made a prophet of the Lord.

bbe@1Samuel:4:1 @Now at that time the Philistines came together to make war against Israel, and the men of Israel went out to war against the Philistines and took up their position at the side of Eben-ezer: and the Philistines put their forces in position in Aphek.

bbe@1Samuel:4:3 @And when the people came back to their tents, the responsible men of Israel said, Why has the Lord let the Philistines overcome us today? Let us get the ark of the Lord's agreement here from Shiloh, so that it may be with us and give us salvation from the hands of those who are against us.

bbe@1Samuel:4:4 @So the people sent to Shiloh and got the ark of the agreement of the Lord of armies whose resting-place is between the winged ones; and Hophni and Phinehas, the two sons of Eli, were there with the ark of God's agreement.

bbe@1Samuel:4:5 @And when the ark of the Lord's agreement came into the tent-circle, all Israel gave a great cry, so that the earth was sounding with it.

bbe@1Samuel:4:6 @And the Philistines, hearing the noise of their cry, said, What is this great cry among the tents of the Hebrews? Then it became clear to them that the ark of the Lord had come to the tent-circle.

bbe@1Samuel:4:9 @Be strong, O Philistines, be men! Do not be servants to the Hebrews as they have been to you: go forward to the fight without fear.

bbe@1Samuel:4:12 @And a man of Benjamin went running from the fight and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothing out of order and earth on his head.

bbe@1Samuel:4:16 @And the man said to Eli, I have come from the army and have come in flight today from the fight. And he said, How did it go, my son?

bbe@1Samuel:4:19 @And his daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, was with child and near the time when she would give birth; and when she had the news that the ark of God had been taken and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, her pains came on her suddenly and she gave birth.

bbe@1Samuel:4:20 @And when she was very near death the women who were with her said, Have no fear, for you have given birth to a son. But she made no answer and gave no attention to it.

bbe@1Samuel:5:1 @Now the Philistines, having taken the ark of God, took it with them from Eben-ezer to Ashdod.

bbe@1Samuel:5:2 @They took the ark of God into the house of Dagon and put it by the side of Dagon.

bbe@1Samuel:5:4 @And when they got up early on the morning after, Dagon had come down to the earth on his face before the ark of the Lord; and his head and his hands were broken off on the doorstep; only the base was in its place.

bbe@1Samuel:5:7 @And when the men of Ashdod saw how it was, they said, Let not the ark of the God of Israel be with us, for his hand is hard on us and on Dagon our god.

bbe@1Samuel:5:8 @So they sent for all the lords of the Philistines to come together there, and said, What are we to do with the ark of the God of Israel? And their answer was, Let the ark of the God of Israel be taken away to Gath. So they took the ark of the God of Israel away.

bbe@1Samuel:5:9 @But after they had taken it away, the hand of the Lord was stretched out against the town for its destruction: and the signs of disease came out on all the men of the town, small and great.

bbe@1Samuel:5:11 @So they sent and got together all the lords of the Philistines, and they said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go back to its place, so that it may not be the cause of death to us and to our people: for there was a great fear of death through all the town; the hand of God was very hard on them there.

bbe@1Samuel:6:2 @And the Philistines sent for the priests and those who were wise in secret arts, and said to them, What are we to do with the ark of the Lord? How are we to send it away to its place?

bbe@1Samuel:6:3 @And they said, If you send away the ark of the God of Israel, do not send it without an offering, but send him a sin-offering with it: then you will have peace again, and it will be clear to you why the weight of his hand has not been lifted from you.

bbe@1Samuel:6:5 @So make images of the growths caused by your disease and of the mice which are damaging your land; and give glory to the God of Israel: it may be that the weight of his hand will be lifted from you and from your gods and from your land.

bbe@1Samuel:6:8 @And put the ark of the Lord on the cart, and the gold images which you are sending as a sin-offering in a chest by its side; and send it away so that it may go.

bbe@1Samuel:6:9 @If it goes by the land of Israel to Beth-shemesh, then this great evil is his work; but if not, then we may be certain that the evil was not his doing, but was the working of chance.

bbe@1Samuel:6:11 @And they put the ark of the Lord on the cart and the chest with the gold images.

bbe@1Samuel:6:13 @And the people of Beth-shemesh were cutting their grain in the valley, and lifting up their eyes they saw the ark and were full of joy when they saw it.

bbe@1Samuel:6:14 @And the cart came into the field of Joshua the Beth-shemite, and came to a stop there by a great stone: and cutting up the wood of the cart they made a burned offering of the cows to the Lord

bbe@1Samuel:6:15 @Then the Levites took down the ark of the Lord and the chest in which were the gold images, and put them on the great stone: and the men of Beth-shemesh made burned offerings and gave worship that day before the Lord.

bbe@1Samuel:6:16 @And the five lords of the Philistines, having seen it, went back to Ekron the same day.

bbe@1Samuel:6:18 @And the gold mice, one for every town of the Philistines, the property of the five lords, walled towns as well as country places: and the great stone where they put the ark of the Lord is still in the field of Joshua the Beth-shemite to this day.

bbe@1Samuel:6:21 @And they sent men to the people living in Kiriath-jearim, saying, The Philistines have sent back the ark of the Lord; come and take it up to your country.

bbe@1Samuel:7:2 @And the ark was in Kiriath-jearim for a long time, as much as twenty years: and all Israel was searching after the Lord with weeping.

bbe@1Samuel:7:3 @Then Samuel said to all Israel, If with all your hearts you would come back to the Lord, then put away all the strange gods and the Astartes from among you, and let your hearts be turned to the Lord, and be servants to him only: and he will make you safe from the hands of the Philistines.

bbe@1Samuel:7:6 @So they came together to Mizpah, and got water, draining it out before the Lord, and they took no food that day, and they said, We have done evil against the Lord. And Samuel was judge of the children of Israel in Mizpah.

bbe@1Samuel:7:7 @Now when the Philistines had news that the children of Israel had come together at Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And the children of Israel, hearing of it, were full of fear.

bbe@1Samuel:7:9 @And Samuel took a young lamb, offering all of it as a burned offering to the Lord; and Samuel made prayers to the Lord for Israel and the Lord gave him an answer.

bbe@1Samuel:7:10 @And while Samuel was offering the burned offering, the Philistines came near for the attack on Israel; but at the thunder of the Lord's voice that day the Philistines were overcome with fear, and they gave way before Israel.

bbe@1Samuel:7:12 @Then Samuel took a stone and put it up between Mizpah and Jeshanah, naming it Eben-ezer, and saying, Up to now the Lord has been our help.

bbe@1Samuel:7:14 @And the towns which the Philistines had taken were given back to Israel, from Ekron to Gath, and all the country round them Israel made free from the power of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.

bbe@1Samuel:8:15 @He will take a tenth of your seed and of the fruit of your vines and give it to his servants.

bbe@1Samuel:8:21 @Then Samuel, after hearing all the people had to say, went and gave an account of it to the Lord.

bbe@1Samuel:9:1 @Now there was a man of Benjamin named Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Becorath, the son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a man of wealth.

bbe@1Samuel:9:3 @Now the asses of Saul's father Kish had gone wandering away. And Kish said to his son Saul, Take one of the servants with you, and get up and go in search of the asses.

bbe@1Samuel:9:4 @So they went through the hill-country of Ephraim and through the land of Shalishah, but they saw no sign of them: then they went through the land of Shaalim, but they were not there: and they went through the land of the Benjamites, but they did not come across them.

bbe@1Samuel:9:5 @And when they had come to the land of Zuph, Saul said to the servant who was with him, Come, let us go back, or my father may give up caring about the asses and be troubled about us.

bbe@1Samuel:9:6 @But the servant said to him, See now, in this town there is a man of God, who is highly honoured, and everything he says comes true: let us go there now; it may be that he will give us directions about our journey.

bbe@1Samuel:9:13 @When you come into the town you will see him straight away, before he goes up to the high place for the feast: the people are waiting for his blessing before starting the feast, and after that the guests will take part in it. So go up now and you will see him.

bbe@1Samuel:9:14 @So they went up to the town, and when they came inside the town, Samuel came face to face with them on his way to the high place.

bbe@1Samuel:9:17 @And when Samuel saw Saul, the Lord said to him, This is the man of whom I gave you word! he it is who is to have authority over my people.

bbe@1Samuel:9:19 @Then Samuel said to Saul, I am the seer; go up before me to the high place and take food with me today: and in the morning I will let you go, after opening to you all the secrets of your heart.

bbe@1Samuel:9:24 @And the cook took up the leg with the fat tail on it, and put it before Saul. And Samuel said, This is the part which has been kept for you: take it as your part of the feast; because it has been kept for you till the right time came and till the guests were present. So that day Saul took food with Samuel.

bbe@1Samuel:10:1 @Then Samuel took the bottle of oil, and put the oil on his head and gave him a kiss and said, Is not the Lord with the holy oil making you ruler over Israel, his people? and you will have authority over the people of the Lord, and you will make them safe from the hands of their attackers round about them, and this will be the sign for you:

bbe@1Samuel:10:3 @Then you are to go on from there, and when you come to the oak-tree of Tabor, you will see three men going up to God to Beth-el, one having with him three young goats and another three cakes of bread and another a skin full of wine:

bbe@1Samuel:10:4 @They will say, Peace be with you, and will give you two cakes of bread, which you are to take from them.

bbe@1Samuel:10:5 @After that you will come to Gibeah, the hill of God, where an armed force of the Philistines is stationed: and when you come to the town, you will see a band of prophets coming down from the high place with instruments of music before them; and they will be acting like prophets:

bbe@1Samuel:10:6 @And the spirit of the Lord will come on you with power, and you will be acting like a prophet with them, and will be changed into another man.

bbe@1Samuel:10:7 @And when these signs come to you, see that you take the chance which is offered you; for God is with you.

bbe@1Samuel:10:8 @Then you are to go down before me to Gilgal, where I will come to you, for the offering of burned offerings and peace-offerings: go on waiting there for seven days till I come to you and make clear to you what you have to do.

bbe@1Samuel:10:9 @And it came about, that when he went away from Samuel, God gave him a changed heart: and all those signs took place that day

bbe@1Samuel:10:10 @And when they came to Gibeah, a band of prophets came face to face with him; and the spirit of God came on him with power and he took his place among them as a prophet.

bbe@1Samuel:10:12 @And one of the people of that place said in answer, And who is their father? So it became a common saying, Is even Saul among the prophets?

bbe@1Samuel:10:21 @Then he made the tribe of Benjamin come near by families, and the family of the Matrites was taken: and from them, Saul, the son of Kish, was taken: but when they went in search of him he was nowhere to be seen.

bbe@1Samuel:10:24 @And Samuel said to all the people, Do you see the man of the Lord's selection, how there is no other like him among all the people? And all the people with loud cries said, Long life to the king!

bbe@1Samuel:10:25 @Then Samuel gave the people the laws of the kingdom, writing them in a book which he put in a safe place before the Lord. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.

bbe@1Samuel:10:26 @And Saul went to Gibeah, to his house; and with him went the men of war whose hearts had been touched by God.

bbe@1Samuel:11:1 @Then about a month after this, Nahash the Ammonite came up and put his forces in position for attacking Jabesh-gilead: and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, Make an agreement with us and we will be your servants.

bbe@1Samuel:11:2 @And Nahash the Ammonite said to them, I will make an agreement with you on this condition, that all your right eyes are put out; so that I may make it a cause of shame to all Israel.

bbe@1Samuel:11:6 @And at their words, the spirit of God came on Saul with power, and he became very angry.

bbe@1Samuel:11:11 @Now on the day after, Saul put the people into three bands, and in the morning watch they came to the tents of the Ammonites, and they went on attacking them till the heat of the day: and those who were not put to death were put to flight in every direction, so that no two of them were together

bbe@1Samuel:11:12 @And the people said to Samuel, Who was it who said, Is Saul to be our king? give the men up, so that we may put them to death.

bbe@1Samuel:11:15 @So all the people went to Gilgal; and there in Gilgal they made Saul king before the Lord; and peace-offerings were offered before the Lord; and there Saul and all the men of Israel were glad with great joy.

bbe@1Samuel:12:2 @And now, see, the king is before you: and I am old and grey-headed, and my sons are with you: I have been living before your eyes from my early days till now.

bbe@1Samuel:12:3 @Here I am: give witness against me before the Lord and before the man on whom he has put the holy oil: whose ox or ass have I taken? to whom have I been untrue? who has been crushed down by me? from whose hand have I taken a price for the blinding of my eyes? I will give it all back to you.

bbe@1Samuel:12:5 @Then he said, The Lord is witness against you, and the man on whom he has put the holy oil is witness this day that you have seen no wrong in me. And they said, He is witness.

bbe@1Samuel:12:6 @And Samuel said to the people, The Lord is witness, who gave authority to Moses and Aaron, and who took your fathers up out of the land of Egypt.

bbe@1Samuel:12:7 @Keep your places now, while I take up the argument with you before the Lord, and give you the story of the righteousness of the Lord, which he has made clear by his acts to you and to your fathers.

bbe@1Samuel:12:12 @And when you saw that Nahash, the king of the Ammonites, was coming against you, you said to me, No more of this; we will have a king for our ruler: when the Lord your God was your king.

bbe@1Samuel:12:15 @But if you do not give ear to the voice of the Lord, but go against his orders, then the hand of the Lord will be against you and against your king for your destruction, as it was against your fathers.

bbe@1Samuel:12:17 @Is it not now the time of the grain cutting? My cry will go up to the Lord and he will send thunder and rain: so that you may see and be conscious of your great sin which you have done in the eyes of the Lord in desiring a king for yourselves.

bbe@1Samuel:12:19 @And all the people said to Samuel, Make prayer for us to the Lord your God so that death may not overtake us: for in addition to all our sins we have done this evil, in desiring a king.

bbe@1Samuel:12:20 @Then Samuel said to the people, Have no fear: truly you have done evil, but do not be turned away from the Lord; be his servants with all your heart;

bbe@1Samuel:12:21 @And do not go from the right way turning to those false gods in which there is no profit and no salvation, for they are false.

bbe@1Samuel:12:22 @For the Lord will not give his people up, because of the honour of his name; for it was the Lord's pleasure to make of you a people for himself.

bbe@1Samuel:12:24 @Only go in the fear of the Lord, and be his true servants with all your heart, keeping in mind what great things he has done for you.

bbe@1Samuel:13:2 @And Saul took for himself three thousand men of Israel, of whom he kept two thousand with him in Michmash and in the mountain of Beth-el, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah in the land of Benjamin: the rest of the people he sent back to their tents.

bbe@1Samuel:13:4 @And all Israel had the news that Saul had made an attack on the Philistines, and that Israel was bitterly hated by the Philistines. And the people came together after Saul to Gilgal.

bbe@1Samuel:13:5 @And the Philistines came together to make war on Israel, three thousand war-carriages and six thousand horsemen and an army of people like the sands of the sea in number: they came up and took up their position in Michmash, to the east of Beth-aven.

bbe@1Samuel:13:8 @And he went on waiting there for seven days, the time fixed by Samuel: but Samuel did not come to Gilgal; and the people were starting to go away from him.

bbe@1Samuel:13:12 @I said, Now the Philistines will come down on me at Gilgal, and I have made no prayer for help to the Lord: and so, forcing myself to do it, I made a burned offering.

bbe@1Samuel:13:13 @And Samuel said to Saul, You have done a foolish thing: you have not kept the rules which the Lord your God gave you; it was the purpose of the Lord to make your authority over Israel safe for ever.

bbe@1Samuel:13:14 @But now, your authority will not go on: the Lord, searching for a man who is pleasing to him in every way, has given him the place of ruler over his people, because you have not done what the Lord gave you orders to do.

bbe@1Samuel:13:15 @Then Samuel went up from Gilgal and the rest of the people went up after Saul against the men of war, and they came from Gilgal to Gibeah in the land of Benjamin: and Saul took the number of the people who were with him, about six hundred men

bbe@1Samuel:13:20 @But all the Israelites had to go to the Philistines to get their ploughs and blades and axes and hooks made sharp;

bbe@1Samuel:13:22 @So on the day of the fight at Michmash, not a sword or a spear was to be seen in the hands of any of the people with Saul and Jonathan: only Saul and his son Jonathan had them.

bbe@1Samuel:14:1 @Now one day Jonathan, the son of Saul, said to the young man who was with him, looking after his arms, Come, let us go over to the Philistine force over there. But he said nothing to his father.

bbe@1Samuel:14:6 @And Jonathan said to his young servant who had his arms, Come, let us go over to the armies of these men who have no circumcision: it may be that the Lord will give us help, for there is no limit to his power; the Lord is able to give salvation by a great army or by a small band.

bbe@1Samuel:14:7 @And his servant said to him, Do whatever is in your mind: see, I am with you in every impulse of your heart.

bbe@1Samuel:14:13 @And Jonathan went up, gripping with his hands and his feet, his servant going up after him; and the Philistines gave way before Jonathan when he made an attack on them, and his servant put them to death after him.

bbe@1Samuel:14:15 @And there was great fear in the tents and in the field and among all the men of the armed force, and the attackers were shaking with fear; even the earth was moved with a great shaking and there was a fear as from God.

bbe@1Samuel:14:18 @And Saul said to Ahijah, Let the ephod come here. For he went before Israel with the ephod at that time.

bbe@1Samuel:14:20 @And Saul and all the people with him came together and went forward to the fight: and every man's sword was turned against the man at his side, and there was a very great noise.

bbe@1Samuel:14:21 @Then the Hebrews who had been with the Philistines for some time, and had gone up with them to their tents, turning round were joined to those who were with Saul and Jonathan.

bbe@1Samuel:14:24 @And all the people were with Saul, about twenty thousand men, and the fight was general through all the hill-country of Ephraim; but Saul made a great error that day, by putting the people under an oath, saying, Let that man be cursed who takes food before evening comes and I have given punishment to those who are against me. So the people had not a taste of food.

bbe@1Samuel:14:25 @And there was honey on the face of the field, and all the people came to the honey, the bees having gone from it;

bbe@1Samuel:14:27 @But Jonathan, having no knowledge of the oath his father had put on the people, stretching out the rod which was in his hand, put the end of it in the honey, and put it to his mouth; then his eyes were made bright.

bbe@1Samuel:14:29 @Then Jonathan said, My father has made trouble come on the land: now see how bright my eyes have become because I have taken a little of this honey.

bbe@1Samuel:14:32 @And rushing at the goods taken in the fight, the people took oxen and sheep and young oxen, and put them to death there on the earth, and had a meal, taking the flesh with the blood in it.

bbe@1Samuel:14:33 @Then it was said to Saul, See, the people are sinning against the Lord, taking the blood with the flesh. And he said to those who gave him the news, Now let a great stone be rolled to me here.

bbe@1Samuel:14:34 @And Saul said, Go about among the people and say to them, Let every man come here to me with his ox and his sheep, and put them to death here, and take his meal: do no sin against the Lord by taking the blood with the flesh. So all the people took their oxen with them that night and put them to death there.

bbe@1Samuel:14:40 @Then he said to all Israel, You be on one side, and I with Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said to Saul, Do whatever seems good to you.

bbe@1Samuel:14:41 @Then Saul said to the Lord, the God of Israel, Why have you not given me an answer today? If the sin is in me or in Jonathan my son, O Lord God of Israel, give Urim, and if it is in your people Israel, give Thummim. And by the decision of the Lord, Saul and Jonathan were marked out, and the people went free.

bbe@1Samuel:14:43 @Then Saul said to Jonathan, Give me an account of what you have done. And Jonathan gave him the story and said, Certainly I took a little honey on the end of my rod; and now death is to be my fate.

bbe@1Samuel:14:45 @And the people said to Saul, Is death to come to Jonathan, the worker of this great salvation for Israel? Let it not be so: by the living Lord, not one hair of his head is to be touched, for he has been working with God today. So the people kept Jonathan from death.

bbe@1Samuel:14:47 @Now when Saul had taken his place as ruler of Israel, he made war on those who were against him on every side, Moab and the Ammonites and Edom and the kings of Zobah and the Philistines: and whichever way he went, he overcame them.

bbe@1Samuel:14:48 @And he did great things, and overcame the Amalekites, and made Israel safe from the hands of their attackers.

bbe@1Samuel:14:52 @All through the life of Saul there was bitter war against the Philistines; and whenever Saul saw any strong man or any good fighting man, he kept him near himself.

bbe@1Samuel:15:3 @Go now and put Amalek to the sword, putting to the curse all they have, without mercy: put to death every man and woman, every child and baby at the breast, every ox and sheep, camel and ass.

bbe@1Samuel:15:5 @And Saul came to the town of Amalek, and took up his position in the valley secretly.

bbe@1Samuel:15:6 @And Saul said to the Kenites, Go away, take yourselves out from among the Amalekites, or destruction will overtake you with them: for you were kind to the children of Israel when they came out of Egypt. So the Kenites went away from among the Amalekites.

bbe@1Samuel:15:7 @And Saul made an attack on the Amalekites from Havilah on the road to Shur, which is before Egypt.

bbe@1Samuel:15:8 @He took Agag, king of the Amalekites, prisoner, and put all the people to the sword without mercy.

bbe@1Samuel:15:11 @It is no longer my pleasure for Saul to be king; for he is turned back from going in my ways, and has not done my orders. And Samuel was very sad, crying to the Lord in prayer all night.

bbe@1Samuel:15:13 @And Samuel came to Saul; and Saul said to him, May the blessing of the Lord be with you: I have done what was ordered by the Lord.

bbe@1Samuel:15:15 @And Saul said, They have taken them from the Amalekites: for the people have kept the best of the sheep and of the oxen as an offering to the Lord your God; all the rest we have given up to destruction.

bbe@1Samuel:15:17 @And Samuel said, Though you may seem little to yourself, are you not head of the tribes of Israel? for the Lord with the holy oil made you king over Israel,

bbe@1Samuel:15:18 @And the Lord sent you on a journey and said, Go and put to the curse those sinners, the Amalekites, fighting against them till every one is dead.

bbe@1Samuel:15:20 @And Saul said, Truly, I have done the orders of the Lord and have gone the way the Lord sent me; I have taken Agag, the king of Amalek, and have given the Amalekites up to destruction.

bbe@1Samuel:15:25 @So now, let my sin have forgiveness, and go back with me to give worship to the Lord.

bbe@1Samuel:15:26 @And Samuel said to Saul, I will not go back with you: for you have put away from you the word of the Lord, and the Lord has put you from your place as king over Israel.

bbe@1Samuel:15:28 @And Samuel said to him, The Lord has taken away the kingdom of Israel from you this day by force, and has given it to a neighbour of yours who is better than you.

bbe@1Samuel:15:30 @Then he said, Great is my sin: but still, give me honour now before the heads of my people and before Israel, and come back with me so that I may give worship to the Lord your God.

bbe@1Samuel:15:32 @Then Samuel said, Make Agag, the king of the Amalekites, come here to me. And Agag came to him shaking with fear. And Agag said, Truly the pain of death is past.

bbe@1Samuel:15:33 @And Samuel said, As your sword has made women without children, so now your mother will be without children among women. And Agag was cut up by Samuel, bone from bone, before the Lord in Gilgal.

bbe@1Samuel:15:35 @And Samuel never saw Saul again till the day of his death; but Samuel was sorrowing for Saul: and it was no longer the Lord's pleasure for Saul to be king over Israel.

bbe@1Samuel:16:1 @And the Lord said to Samuel, How long will you go on sorrowing for Saul, seeing that I have put him from his place as king over Israel? Take oil in your vessel and go; I will send you to Jesse, the Beth-lehemite: for I have got a king for myself among his sons.

bbe@1Samuel:16:2 @And Samuel said, How is it possible for me to go? If Saul gets news of it he will put me to death. And the Lord said, Take a young cow with you and say, I have come to make an offering to the Lord.

bbe@1Samuel:16:5 @And he said, In peace: I have come to make an offering to the Lord: make yourselves clean and come with me to make the offering. And he made Jesse and his sons clean, and sent for them to be present at the offering.

bbe@1Samuel:16:13 @Then Samuel took the bottle of oil, and put the oil on him there among his brothers: and from that day the spirit of the Lord came on David with power. So Samuel went back to Ramah.

bbe@1Samuel:16:14 @Now the spirit of the Lord had gone from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord was troubling him.

bbe@1Samuel:16:15 @And Saul's servants said to him, See now, an evil spirit from God is troubling you.

bbe@1Samuel:16:16 @Now give orders to your servants who are here before you to go in search of a man who is an expert player on a corded instrument: and it will be that when the evil spirit from God is on you, he will make music for you on his instrument, and you will get well.

bbe@1Samuel:16:18 @Then one of the servants in answer said, I have seen a son of Jesse, the Beth-lehemite, who is expert at playing, and a strong man and a man of war; and he is wise in his words, and pleasing in looks, and the Lord is with him.

bbe@1Samuel:16:19 @So Saul sent his servants to Jesse and said, Send me your son David who is with the sheep.

bbe@1Samuel:16:21 @And David came to Saul, waiting before him: and he became very dear to Saul, who made him his servant, giving him the care of his arms

bbe@1Samuel:16:22 @And Saul sent to Jesse saying, Let David be with me, for he is pleasing to me.

bbe@1Samuel:16:23 @And whenever the evil spirit from God came on Saul, David took his instrument and made music: so new life came to Saul, and he got well, and the evil spirit went away from him.

bbe@1Samuel:17:1 @Now the Philistines got their armies together for war, and came together at Socoh in the land of Judah, and took up their position between Socoh and Azekah in Ephes-dammim.

bbe@1Samuel:17:2 @And Saul and the men of Israel came together and took up their position in the valley of Elah, and put their forces in order against the Philistines.

bbe@1Samuel:17:4 @And a fighter came out from the tents of the Philistines, named Goliath of Gath; he was more than six cubits tall.

bbe@1Samuel:17:6 @His legs were covered with plates of brass and hanging on his back was a javelin of brass.

bbe@1Samuel:17:7 @The stem of his spear was as long as a cloth-worker's rod, and its head was made of six hundred shekels' weight of iron: and one went before him with his body-cover.

bbe@1Samuel:17:8 @He took up his position and in a loud voice said to the armies of Israel, Why have you come out to make war? Am I not a Philistine and you servants of Saul? Send out a man for yourselves and let him come down to me.

bbe@1Samuel:17:9 @If he is able to have a fight with me and overcome me, then we will be your servants: but if I am able to overcome him, then you will be our servants and do work for us.

bbe@1Samuel:17:12 @Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Beth-lehem-judah named Jesse, who had eight sons; and he was an old man in Saul's day, and far on in years.

bbe@1Samuel:17:13 @And the three oldest sons of Jesse had gone with Saul to the fight: the names of the three who went to the fight were Eliab, the oldest, and Abinadab the second, and Shammah the third.

bbe@1Samuel:17:14 @And David was the youngest: and the three oldest were with Saul's army.

bbe@1Samuel:17:17 @And Jesse said to his son David, Take now for your brothers an ephah of this dry grain and these ten cakes of bread, and go quickly with them to the tents to your brothers;

bbe@1Samuel:17:18 @And take these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand, and see how your brothers are and come back with a sign to say how they are.

bbe@1Samuel:17:19 @Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.

bbe@1Samuel:17:21 @And Israel and the Philistines had put their forces in position, army against army.

bbe@1Samuel:17:24 @And all the men of Israel, when they saw him, went in flight, overcome with fear.

bbe@1Samuel:17:25 @And the men of Israel said, Have you seen this man? Clearly he has come out to put shame on Israel: and it is certain that if any man overcomes him, the king will give that man great wealth, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's family free in Israel.

bbe@1Samuel:17:26 @And David said to the men near him, What will be done to the man who overcomes this Philistine and takes away the shame from Israel? for who is this Philistine, a man without circumcision, that he has put shame on the armies of the living God?

bbe@1Samuel:17:27 @And the people gave him this answer, So it will be done to the man who overcomes him.

bbe@1Samuel:17:28 @And Eliab, his oldest brother, hearing what David said to the men, was moved to wrath against David, and said, Why have you come here? Into whose care have you given that little flock of sheep in the waste land? I have knowledge of your pride and the evil of your heart, you have come down to see the fight.

bbe@1Samuel:17:29 @And David said, What have I done now? was it not only a word?

bbe@1Samuel:17:31 @And, hearing what David said, they gave Saul word of it: and he sent for him.

bbe@1Samuel:17:32 @And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart become feeble because of him; I, your servant, will go out and have a fight with this Philistine.

bbe@1Samuel:17:33 @And Saul said to David, You are not able to go out against this Philistine and have a fight with him: for you are only a boy, and he has been a man of war from his earliest days.

bbe@1Samuel:17:35 @I went out after him, and overcame him, and took it out of his mouth: and if, turning on me, he came at me, I took him by the hair and overcame him and put him to death.

bbe@1Samuel:17:36 @Your servant has overcome lion and bear: and the fate of this Philistine, who is without circumcision, will be like theirs, seeing that he has put shame on the armies of the living God.

bbe@1Samuel:17:37 @And David said, The Lord, who kept me safe from the grip of the lion and the bear, will be my saviour from the hands of this Philistine. And Saul said to David, Go! and may the Lord be with you.

bbe@1Samuel:17:38 @Then Saul gave David his clothing of war, and put a head-dress of brass on his head and had him clothed with a coat of metal.

bbe@1Samuel:17:39 @And David took Saul's sword and put the band round him over the metal coat, and was unable to go forward; for he was not used to them. Then David said to Saul, It is not possible for me to go out with these, for I am not used to them. So David took them off.

bbe@1Samuel:17:43 @And the Philistine said to David, Am I a dog, that you come out to me with sticks? And the Philistine put curses on David by all his gods.

bbe@1Samuel:17:45 @Then David said to the Philistine, You come to me with a sword and a spear and a javelin: but I come to you in the name of the Lord of armies, the God of the armies of Israel on which you have put shame.

bbe@1Samuel:17:49 @And David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone and sent it from his leather band straight at the Philistine, and the stone went deep into his brow, and he went down to the earth, falling on his face.

bbe@1Samuel:17:50 @So David overcame the Philistine with his leather band and a stone, wounding the Philistine and causing his death: but David had no sword in his hand.

bbe@1Samuel:17:51 @So running up to the Philistine and putting his foot on him, David took his sword out of its cover, and put him to death, cutting off his head with it. And when the Philistines saw that their fighter was dead, they went in flight.

bbe@1Samuel:17:57 @And when David was coming back after the destruction of the Philistine, Abner took him to Saul, with the head of the Philistine in his hand.

bbe@1Samuel:18:1 @Now after David's talk with Saul was ended, the soul of Jonathan was joined with the soul of David, and David became as dear to him as his very life.

bbe@1Samuel:18:4 @And Jonathan took off the robe he had on and gave it to David, with all his military dress, even to his sword and his bow and the band round his body.

bbe@1Samuel:18:6 @Now on their way, when David came back after the destruction of the Philistine, the women came out of all the towns of Israel, with songs and dances, meeting David with melody and joy and instruments of music.

bbe@1Samuel:18:8 @And Saul was very angry and this saying was unpleasing to him; and he said, They have given David credit for tens of thousands, and to me for only thousands: what more is there for him but the kingdom?

bbe@1Samuel:18:9 @And from that day Saul was looking with envy on David.

bbe@1Samuel:18:10 @Now on the day after, an evil spirit from God came on Saul with great force and he was acting like a prophet among the men of his house, while David was making music for him, as he did day by day: and Saul had his spear in his hand

bbe@1Samuel:18:12 @And Saul went in fear of David, because the Lord was with David and had gone away from Saul.

bbe@1Samuel:18:14 @And in all his undertakings David did wisely; and the Lord was with him.

bbe@1Samuel:18:17 @And Saul said to David, Here is my oldest daughter Merab, whom I will give you for your wife: only be strong for me, fighting in the Lord's wars. For Saul said, Let it not be through me that his fate comes to him, but through the Philistines.

bbe@1Samuel:18:20 @And Saul's daughter Michal was in love with David: and Saul had word of it and was pleased.

bbe@1Samuel:18:22 @And Saul gave his servants orders saying, Have talk with David secretly and say to him, See how the king has delight in you, and how you are loved by all his servants: then be the king's son-in-law.

bbe@1Samuel:18:23 @And Saul's servants said these things to David. And David said, Does it seem to you a small thing to be the king's son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor man, of no great name?

bbe@1Samuel:18:25 @And Saul said, Then say to David, The king has no desire for any bride-price, but only for the private parts of a hundred Philistines so that the king may get the better of his haters. But it was in Saul's mind that David might come to his end by the hands of the Philistines.

bbe@1Samuel:18:28 @And it was clear to Saul that the Lord was with David; and he was loved by all Israel.

bbe@1Samuel:19:3 @And I will go out and take my place by my father's side in the field near where you are; and I will get into talk with my father about you, and when I see how things are, I will give you word.

bbe@1Samuel:19:5 @For he put his life in danger and overcame the Philistine, and the Lord gave all Israel salvation: you saw it and were glad: why then are you sinning against him who has done no wrong, desiring the death of David without cause?

bbe@1Samuel:19:6 @And Saul gave ear to the voice of Jonathan, and said with an oath, By the living Lord, he is not to be put to death.

bbe@1Samuel:19:9 @And an evil spirit from the Lord came on Saul, when he was seated in his house with his spear in his hand; and David made music for him.

bbe@1Samuel:19:13 @Then Michal took the image and put it in the bed, with a cushion of goat's hair at its head, and she put clothing over it.

bbe@1Samuel:19:15 @And Saul sent his men to see David, saying, Do not come back without him, take him in his bed, so that I may put him to death.

bbe@1Samuel:19:16 @And when the men came in, there was the image in the bed, with the cushion of goat's hair at its head

bbe@1Samuel:19:20 @And Saul sent men to take David; and when they saw the band of prophets at work, with Samuel in his place at their head, the spirit of God came on Saul's men, and they became like prophets.

bbe@1Samuel:19:23 @And he went on from there to Naioth in Ramah: and the spirit of God came on him, and he went on, acting like a prophet, till he came to Naioth in Ramah.

bbe@1Samuel:19:24 @And he took off his clothing, acting like a prophet before Samuel, and falling down he was stretched out, without his clothing, all that day and all that night. This is the reason for the saying, Is even Saul among the prophets?

bbe@1Samuel:20:2 @And he said to him, Far be the thought: you will not be put to death: see, my father does nothing, great or small, without giving me word of it: would he keep this secret from me? It is not so.

bbe@1Samuel:20:3 @But David took his oath again and said, Your father sees that I am dear to you; so he says to himself, Let Jonathan have no idea of this, for it will be a grief to him; but as the Lord is living, and as your soul is living, there is only a step between me and death.

bbe@1Samuel:20:4 @Then Jonathan said to David, Whatever your desire is, I will do it for you.

bbe@1Samuel:20:5 @And David said to Jonathan, Tomorrow is the new moon, and I will not be seated with the king at his table: but let me go to a safe place in the country till the evening.

bbe@1Samuel:20:6 @And if your father takes note of the fact that I am away, say, David made a request to me for himself that he might go to Beth-lehem, to his town: for it is the time when his family make their offering year by year.

bbe@1Samuel:20:7 @If he says, It is well, your servant will be at peace: but if he is angry, then it will be clear to you that he has an evil purpose in mind against me.

bbe@1Samuel:20:8 @So, then, be kind to your servant; for you have been united with your servant in an agreement made before the Lord: but if there is any wrongdoing in me, put me to death yourself; why take me to your father?

bbe@1Samuel:20:9 @And Jonathan said, Do not have such a thought: for if I saw that my father was designing evil against you, would I not give you word of it?

bbe@1Samuel:20:12 @And Jonathan said to David, May the Lord, the God of Israel, be witness; when I have had a chance of talking to my father, about this time tomorrow, if his feelings to David are good, will I not send and give you the news?

bbe@1Samuel:20:13 @May the Lord's punishment be on Jonathan, if it is my father's pleasure to do you evil and I do not give you word of it and send you away so that you may go in peace: and may the Lord be with you, as he has been with my father.

bbe@1Samuel:20:16 @And if it comes about that the name of Jonathan is cut off from the family of David, the Lord will make David responsible.

bbe@1Samuel:20:18 @Then Jonathan said to him, Tomorrow is the new moon: and it will be seen that you are not present, for there will be no one in your seat.

bbe@1Samuel:20:19 @And on the third day it will be specially noted, and you will go to the place where you took cover when the other business was in hand, waiting by the hill over there.

bbe@1Samuel:20:20 @And on the third day I will send arrows from my bow against its side as if at a mark.

bbe@1Samuel:20:21 @And I will send my boy to have a look for the arrow. And if I say to him, See, the arrow is on this side of you; take it up! then you may come; for there is peace for you and no evil, by the living Lord.

bbe@1Samuel:20:26 @But Saul said nothing that day, for his thought was, Something has taken place making him unclean; it is clear that he is not clean.

bbe@1Samuel:20:31 @For while the son of Jesse is living on the earth, your position is unsafe and your kingdom is in danger. So make him come here to me, for it is certainly right for him to be put to death.

bbe@1Samuel:20:33 @And Saul, pointing his spear at him, made an attempt to give him a wound: from which it was clear to Jonathan that his father's purpose was to put David to death.

bbe@1Samuel:20:34 @So Jonathan got up from the table, burning with wrath, and took no part in the feast the second day of the month, being full of grief for David because his father had put shame on him.

bbe@1Samuel:20:35 @Now in the morning, Jonathan went out into the fields at the time he had said to David, and he had a little boy with him.

bbe@1Samuel:20:37 @And when the boy came to the place where the arrow was, Jonathan, crying out after the boy, said, Has it not gone past you?

bbe@1Samuel:20:38 @And Jonathan went on crying out after the boy, Be quick, do not keep waiting about, go quickly. And Jonathan's boy got the arrow and came back to his master.

bbe@1Samuel:20:39 @But the boy had no idea what was going on; only Jonathan and David had knowledge of it.

bbe@1Samuel:21:1 @Then David came to Nob, to Ahimelech the priest: and Ahimelech was full of fear at meeting David, and said to him, Why are you by yourself, having no man with you?

bbe@1Samuel:21:5 @And David in answer said to the priest, Certainly women have been kept from us; and as has been done before when I have gone out the arms of the young men were made holy, even though it was a common journey; how much more today will their arms be made holy.

bbe@1Samuel:21:6 @So the priest gave him the holy bread: there was no other, only the holy bread which had been taken from before the Lord, so that new bread might be put in its place on the day when it was taken away.

bbe@1Samuel:21:7 @Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, kept back before the Lord; his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the strongest of Saul's runners.

bbe@1Samuel:21:8 @And David said to Ahimelech, Have you no sword or spear with you here? for I have come without my sword and other arms, because the king's business had to be done quickly.

bbe@1Samuel:21:9 @And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you put to death in the valley of Elah, is here folded in a cloth at the back of the ephod: take that, if you will, for there is no other sword here. And David said, there is no other sword like that; give it to me.

bbe@1Samuel:21:13 @So changing his behaviour before them, he made it seem as if he was off his head, hammering on the doors of the town, and letting the water from his mouth go down his chin.

bbe@1Samuel:22:1 @So David went away from there and took cover in a strong place at Adullam; and his brothers and all his father's people, hearing of it, went down to him there.

bbe@1Samuel:22:2 @And everyone who was in trouble, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was bitter in soul, came together to him, and he became captain over them: about four hundred men were joined to him.

bbe@1Samuel:22:3 @And from there David went to Mizpeh in the land of Moab: and he said to the king of Moab, Let my father and mother come and make their living-place with you till it is clear to me what God will do for me.

bbe@1Samuel:22:4 @And he took them to the king of Moab and they went on living with him while David was in his safe place.

bbe@1Samuel:22:6 @And news was given to Saul that David had been seen, and the men who were with him: now Saul was in Gibeah, seated under the tree in the high place, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were in their places before him.

bbe@1Samuel:22:7 @Then Saul said to his servants who were there about him, Give ear now, you Benjamites; will the son of Jesse give to every one of you fields and vine-gardens, will he make you all captains of hundreds and captains of thousands;

bbe@1Samuel:22:8 @That all of you have made designs against me, and not one of you gave me word when my son made an agreement with the son of Jesse, and not one of you has pity for me or has made my eyes open to the fact that my servant has been moved by my son against me, as at this day?

bbe@1Samuel:22:9 @Then Doeg, the Edomite, who was by the side of the servants of Saul, in answer said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub.

bbe@1Samuel:22:11 @Then the king sent for Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and for all the men of his father's family who were priests in Nob: and they all came to the king.

bbe@1Samuel:22:12 @And Saul said, Give ear now, O son of Ahitub. And answering he said, Here I am, my lord.

bbe@1Samuel:22:13 @And Saul said to him, Why have you made designs against me with the son of Jesse, giving him food and a sword and getting directions from the Lord for him, and helping him to take up arms against me, and to be on the watch to make a secret attack on me as he is doing now?

bbe@1Samuel:22:17 @Then the king said to the runners who were waiting near him, Put the priests of the Lord to death; because they are on David's side, and having knowledge of his flight, did not give me word of it. But the king's servants would not put out their hands to make an attack on the Lord's priests.

bbe@1Samuel:22:18 @Then the king said to Doeg, You are to put the priests to death. And Doeg the Edomite, turning on the priests and attacking them, put to death that day eighty-five men who took up the ephod.

bbe@1Samuel:22:20 @And Abiathar, one of the sons of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, got away and went in flight after David;

bbe@1Samuel:22:22 @And David said to Abiathar, I was certain that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would take the news to Saul: I am responsible for the lives of all your father's family.

bbe@1Samuel:22:23 @Keep here with me and have no fear; for he who has designs on my life has designs on yours: but with me you will be safe.

bbe@1Samuel:23:5 @So David and his men went to Keilah, and had a fight with the Philistines, and took away their cattle, and put them to the sword with great destruction. So David was the saviour of the people of Keilah.

bbe@1Samuel:23:6 @Now when Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, went in flight to David, he came down to Keilah with the ephod in his hand.

bbe@1Samuel:23:7 @And news was given to Saul that David had come to Keilah. And Saul said, Now God has given him into my hands; for by going into a walled town with locked doors, he has let himself be shut in.

bbe@1Samuel:23:9 @And it was clear to David that Saul had evil designs against him, and he said to Abiathar the priest, Come here with the ephod.

bbe@1Samuel:23:10 @Then David said, O Lord, the God of Israel, news has been given to your servant that it is Saul's purpose to come to Keilah and send destruction on the town because of me.

bbe@1Samuel:23:11 @And now, is it true, as they have said to me, that Saul is coming? O Lord, the God of Israel, give ear to your servant, and say if these things are so. And the Lord said, He is coming down.

bbe@1Samuel:23:14 @And David kept in the waste land, in safe places, waiting in the hill-country in the waste land of Ziph. And Saul was searching for him every day, but God did not give him up into his hands.

bbe@1Samuel:23:19 @Then the Ziphites came up to Gibeah to see Saul, and said, Is not David living secretly among us in the strong places in Horesh, in the hill of Hachilah to the south of the waste land?

bbe@1Samuel:23:21 @And Saul said, The Lord's blessing will be yours, for you have had pity on me.

bbe@1Samuel:23:22 @Go now, and take more steps, and see where he is living: for they say that he is expert in deceit.

bbe@1Samuel:23:23 @So take care to get knowledge of all the secret places where he is taking cover, and be certain to come back to me, and I will go with you: and without doubt, if he is anywhere in the land, I will get him, among all the families of Judah.

bbe@1Samuel:23:25 @And Saul and his men went in search of him. And David had word of it, so he came down to the rock in the waste land of Maon. And Saul, hearing of this, went after David into the waste land of Maon.

bbe@1Samuel:24:4 @And David's men said to him, Now is the time when the Lord says to you, I will give up your hater into your hands to do with him whatever seems good to you. Then David, getting up, took the skirt of Saul's robe in his hand, cutting off the end of it without his knowledge.

bbe@1Samuel:24:6 @And David said to his men, Before the Lord, never let it be said that my hand was lifted up against my lord, the man of the Lord's selection, for the Lord's holy oil has been put on him.

bbe@1Samuel:24:7 @So with these words David kept his servants back, and did not let them make an attack on Saul. And Saul got up and went on his way.

bbe@1Samuel:24:9 @And David said to Saul, Why do you give any attention to those who say that it is my desire to do you wrong?

bbe@1Samuel:24:10 @Look! you have seen today how the Lord gave you up into my hands even now in the hollow of the rocks: and some would have had me put you to death, but I had pity on you: for I said, Never will my hand be lifted up against my lord, who has been marked with the holy oil.

bbe@1Samuel:24:11 @And see, my father, see the skirt of your robe in my hand: for the fact that I took off the skirt of your robe and did not put you to death is witness that I have no evil purpose, and I have done you no wrong, though you are waiting for my life to take it.

bbe@1Samuel:24:16 @Now when David had said these words to Saul, Saul said, Is this your voice, David, my son? And Saul was overcome with weeping.

bbe@1Samuel:24:20 @And now I am certain that you will be king, and that the kingdom of Israel will be made strong under your authority

bbe@1Samuel:25:1 @And death came to Samuel; and all Israel came together, weeping for him, and put his body in its resting-place in his house at Ramah. Then David went down to the waste land of Maon.

bbe@1Samuel:25:7 @I have had word that you have wool-cutters: now the keepers of your sheep have been with us, and we have done them no evil, and taken nothing of theirs while they were in Carmel.

bbe@1Samuel:25:11 @Am I to take my bread and my wine and the meat I have got ready for my wool-cutters and give it to men coming from I have no idea where?

bbe@1Samuel:25:13 @And David said to his men, Put on your swords, every one of you. And every man put on his sword; and David did the same; and about four hundred men went up with David, and two hundred kept watch over their goods.

bbe@1Samuel:25:15 @But these men have been very good to us; they did us no wrong and nothing of ours was touched while we were with them in the fields:

bbe@1Samuel:25:16 @But day and night they were like a wall round us while we were with them, looking after the sheep.

bbe@1Samuel:25:17 @So now, give thought to what you are going to do; for evil is in store for our master and all his house: for he is such a good-for-nothing person that it is not possible to say anything to him.

bbe@1Samuel:25:20 @Now while she was going down under cover of the mountain on her ass, David and his men came down against her, and suddenly she came face to face with them.

bbe@1Samuel:25:25 @Let my lord give no attention to Nabal, that good-for-nothing: for as his name is, so is he, a man without sense: but I, your servant, did not see the young men whom my lord sent.

bbe@1Samuel:25:27 @And let this offering, which your servant gives to my lord, be given to the young men who are with my lord.

bbe@1Samuel:25:29 @And though a man has taken up arms against you, putting your life in danger, still the soul of my lord will be kept safe among the band of the living with the Lord your God; and the souls of those who are against you he will send violently away from him, like stones from a bag.

bbe@1Samuel:25:31 @Then you will have no cause for grief, and my lord's heart will not be troubled because you have taken life without cause and have yourself given punishment for your wrongs: and when the Lord has been good to you, then give a thought to your servant.

bbe@1Samuel:25:35 @Then David took from her hands her offering: and he said to her, Go back to your house in peace; see, I have given ear to your voice, and taken your offering with respect.

bbe@1Samuel:25:42 @Then Abigail got up quickly and went on her ass, with five of her young women, after the men whom David had sent; and she became David's wife.

bbe@1Samuel:26:1 @And the Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah, and said, Is not David waiting secretly near us in the hill of Hachilah, before the waste land?

bbe@1Samuel:26:2 @Then Saul went down to the waste land of Ziph, taking with him three thousand of the best men of Israel, to make search for David in the waste land of Ziph.

bbe@1Samuel:26:5 @And David got up and came to the place where Saul's tents were: and David had a view of the place where Saul was sleeping with Abner, the son of Ner, the captain of his army: and Saul was sleeping inside the ring of carts, and the tents of the people were all round him.

bbe@1Samuel:26:6 @Then David said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, brother of Joab, Who will go down with me to the tents of Saul? And Abishai said, I will go down with you.

bbe@1Samuel:26:7 @So David and Abishai came down to the army by night: and Saul was sleeping inside the ring of carts with his spear planted in the earth by his head: and Abner and the people were sleeping round him.

bbe@1Samuel:26:8 @Then Abishai said to David, God has given up your hater into your hands today; now let me give him one blow through to the earth with his spear, and there will be no need to give him a second.

bbe@1Samuel:26:9 @And David said to Abishai Do not put him to death; for who, without sin, may put out his hand against the man on whom the Lord has put the holy oil?

bbe@1Samuel:26:11 @Never will my hand be stretched out against the man marked with the holy oil; but take the spear which is by his head and the vessel of water, and let us go

bbe@1Samuel:26:12 @So David took the spear and the vessel of water from Saul's head; and they got away without any man seeing them, or being conscious of their coming, or awaking; for they were all sleeping because a deep sleep from the Lord had come on them.

bbe@1Samuel:26:13 @Then David went over to the other side, and took his place on the top of a mountain some distance away, with a great space between them;

bbe@1Samuel:26:17 @And Saul, conscious that the voice was David's, said, Is that your voice, David, my son? And David said, It is my voice, O my lord king.

bbe@1Samuel:26:19 @Let my lord the king give ear now to the words of his servant. If it is the Lord who is moving you against me, let him take an offering: but if it is the children of men, may they be cursed before the Lord, for driving me out today and keeping me from my place in the heritage of the Lord, saying, Go, be the servant of other gods.

bbe@1Samuel:26:22 @Then David said, Here is the king's spear! let one of the young men come over and get it.

bbe@1Samuel:26:23 @And the Lord will give to every man the reward of his righteousness and his faith: because the Lord gave you into my hands today, and I would not put out my hand against the man who has been marked with the holy oil.

bbe@1Samuel:26:25 @Then Saul said to David, May a blessing be on you, David, my son; you will do great things and without doubt you will overcome. Then David went on his way, and Saul went back to his place.

bbe@1Samuel:27:2 @So David and the six hundred men who were with him went over to Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath.

bbe@1Samuel:27:3 @And David and his men were living with Achish at Gath; every man had his family with him, and David had his two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel, and Abigail of Carmel, who had been the wife of Nabal.

bbe@1Samuel:27:5 @Then David said to Achish, If now I have grace in your eyes, let me have a place in one of the smaller towns of your land, to be my living-place; for it is not right for your servant to be living with you in the king's town.

bbe@1Samuel:27:8 @And David and his men went up and made attacks on the Geshurites and the Girzites and the Amalekites; for these were the people who were living in the land from Telam on the way to Shur, as far as Egypt.

bbe@1Samuel:27:10 @And every time Achish said, Where have you been fighting today? David said, Against the South of Judah and the South of the Jerahmeelites and the South of the Kenites.

bbe@1Samuel:27:11 @Not one living man or woman did David ever take back with him to Gath, fearing that they might give an account of what had taken place, and say, This is what David did, and so has he been doing all the time while he has been living in the land of the Philistines.

bbe@1Samuel:28:1 @Now in those days the Philistines got their forces together to make war on Israel. And Achish said to David, Certainly you and your men are to go out with me to the fight.

bbe@1Samuel:28:3 @Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel, after weeping for him, had put his body in its last resting-place in Ramah, his town. And Saul had put away from the land all those who had control of spirits and who made use of secret arts.

bbe@1Samuel:28:4 @And the Philistines came together and put their forces in position in Shunem; and Saul got all Israel together and they took up their positions in Gilboa.

bbe@1Samuel:28:5 @And when Saul saw the Philistine army he was troubled, and his heart was moved with fear.

bbe@1Samuel:28:7 @Then Saul said to his servants, Get me a woman who has control of a spirit so that I may go to her and get directions. And his servants said to him, There is such a woman at En-dor.

bbe@1Samuel:28:8 @So Saul, putting on other clothing, so that he might not be seen to be the king, took two men with him and went to the woman by night; and he said, Now, with the help of the spirit which you have, make the person whose name I will give you come up.

bbe@1Samuel:28:9 @And the woman said to him, But you have knowledge of what Saul has done, how he has put away out of the land those who have control of spirits and the users of secret arts: why would you, by a trick, put me in danger of death?

bbe@1Samuel:28:12 @And the woman saw that it was Saul, and she gave a loud cry, and said to Saul, Why have you made use of deceit? for you are Saul.

bbe@1Samuel:28:14 @And he said to her, What is his form? And she said, It is an old man coming up covered with a robe. And Saul saw that it was Samuel, and with his face bent down to the earth he gave him honour.

bbe@1Samuel:28:17 @And the Lord himself has done what I said: the Lord has taken the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbour David;

bbe@1Samuel:28:19 @And more than this, the Lord will give Israel up with you into the hands of the Philistines: and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me: and the Lord will give up the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines.

bbe@1Samuel:28:22 @So now, give ear to the voice of your servant, and let me give you a little bread; and take some food to give you strength when you go on your way.

bbe@1Samuel:28:23 @But he would not, saying, I have no desire for food. But his servants, together with the woman, made him take food, and he gave way to them. So he got up from the earth, and took his seat on the bed.

bbe@1Samuel:28:24 @And the woman had in the house a young cow, made fat for food; and she put it to death straight away; and she took meal and got it mixed and made unleavened bread;

bbe@1Samuel:28:25 @And she put it before Saul and his servants, and they had a meal. Then they got up and went away the same night.

bbe@1Samuel:29:1 @Now the Philistines got all their army together at Aphek: and the Israelites put their forces in position by the fountain in Jezreel.

bbe@1Samuel:29:2 @And the lords of the Philistines went on with their hundreds and their thousands, and David and his men came after with Achish.

bbe@1Samuel:29:3 @Then the rulers of the Philistines said, What are these Hebrews doing here? And Achish said to the rulers of the Philistines, Is this not David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who has been with me for a year or two, and I have never seen any wrong in him from the time when he came to me till now?

bbe@1Samuel:29:4 @But the rulers of the Philistines were angry with him, and said to him, Make the man go back to the place you have given him; do not let him go down with us to the fight, or he may be turned against us and be false to us: for how will this man make peace with his lord? will it not be with the heads of these men?

bbe@1Samuel:29:6 @Then Achish sent for David and said to him, By the living Lord, you are upright, and everything you have done with me in the army has been pleasing to me: I have seen no evil in you from the day when you came to me till now: but still, the lords are not pleased with you.

bbe@1Samuel:29:8 @And David said to Achish, But what have I done? what have you seen in your servant while I have been with you till this day, that I may not go and take up arms against those who are now making war on my lord the king?

bbe@1Samuel:29:9 @And Achish in answer said, It is true that in my eyes you are good, like an angel of God: but still, the rulers of the Philistines have said, He is not to go up with us to the fight.

bbe@1Samuel:29:10 @So get up early in the morning, with the servants of your lord who are with you, and go to the place I have given you, and have no evil design in your heart, for you are good in my eyes; but when there is light enough in the morning, go away.

bbe@1Samuel:30:1 @Now when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made an attack on the South and on Ziklag, and had overcome Ziklag and put it on fire;

bbe@1Samuel:30:3 @And when David and his men came to the town, they saw that it had been burned down, and their wives and their sons and daughters had been made prisoners.

bbe@1Samuel:30:4 @Then David and the people who were with him gave themselves up to weeping till they were able to go on weeping no longer.

bbe@1Samuel:30:6 @And David was greatly troubled; for the people were talking of stoning him, because their hearts were bitter, every man sorrowing for his sons and his daughters: but David made himself strong in the Lord his God.

bbe@1Samuel:30:7 @And David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, Come here to me with the ephod. And Abiathar took the ephod to David.

bbe@1Samuel:30:9 @So David went, and his six hundred men went with him, and they came to the stream Besor.

bbe@1Samuel:30:10 @And David, with four hundred men, went on: but two hundred of them were overcome with weariness, and not able to go across the stream.

bbe@1Samuel:30:12 @And they gave him part of a cake of figs and some dry grapes; and after the food, his spirit came back to him, for he had had no food or drink for three days and nights.

bbe@1Samuel:30:13 @And David said to him, Whose man are you and where do you come from? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master went on without me because three days back I became ill.

bbe@1Samuel:30:14 @We made an attack on the south part of the country of the Cherethites, and on the land which is Judah's, and on the south of Caleb; and we put Ziklag on fire.

bbe@1Samuel:30:18 @And David got back everything the Amalekites had taken; and he got back his two wives.

bbe@1Samuel:30:19 @There was no loss of anything, small or great, sons or daughters or goods or anything which they had taken away: David got it all back

bbe@1Samuel:30:21 @And David came to the two hundred men, who because of weariness had not gone with him, but were waiting at the stream Besor: and they went out, meeting David and the people who were with him; and when they came near them, they said, How are you?

bbe@1Samuel:30:22 @Then the bad and good-for-nothing men among those who went with David said, Because they did not go with us, we will give them nothing of the goods which we have got back, but only to every man his wife and children, so that he may take them and go.

bbe@1Samuel:30:24 @Who is going to give any attention to you in this question? for an equal part will be given to him who went to the fight and to him who was waiting by the goods: they are all to have the same.

bbe@1Samuel:30:25 @And so he made it a rule and an order for Israel from that day till now.

bbe@1Samuel:30:29 @and Carmel and in the towns of the Jerahmeelites, and in the towns of the Kenites;

bbe@1Samuel:31:4 @Then Saul said to the servant who had the care of his arms, Take out your sword and put it through me, before these men without circumcision come and make sport of me. But his servant, full of fear, would not do so. Then Saul took out his sword, and falling on it, put an end to himself.

bbe@1Samuel:31:5 @And when his servant saw that Saul was dead, he did the same, and was united with him in death.

bbe@2Samuel:1:1 @Now after the death of Saul, when David, having come back from the destruction of the Amalekites, had been in Ziklag for two days;

bbe@2Samuel:1:2 @On the third day a man came from Saul's tents, with his clothing out of order and earth on his head: and when he came to David, he went down on the earth and gave him honour.

bbe@2Samuel:1:8 @And he said to me, Who are you? And I said, I am an Amalekite.

bbe@2Samuel:1:9 @Then he said to me, Come here to my side, and put me to death, for the pain of death has me in its grip but my life is still strong in me.

bbe@2Samuel:1:11 @Then David gave way to bitter grief, and so did all the men who were with him:

bbe@2Samuel:1:13 @And David said to the young man who had given him the news, Where do you come from? And he said, I am the son of a man from a strange land; I am an Amalekite.

bbe@2Samuel:1:14 @And David said to him, Had you no fear of stretching out your hand to put to death the one marked with the holy oil?

bbe@2Samuel:1:16 @And David said to him, May your blood be on your head; for your mouth has given witness against you, saying, I have put to death the man marked with the holy oil.

bbe@2Samuel:1:18 @(It is recorded in the book of Jashar for teaching to the sons of Judah) and he said:

bbe@2Samuel:1:20 @Give no news of it in Gath, let it not be said in the streets of Ashkelon; or the daughters of the Philistines will be glad, the daughters of men without circumcision will be uplifted in joy.

bbe@2Samuel:1:21 @O mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew or rain on you, you fields of death: for there the arms of the strong have been shamed, the arms of Saul, as if he had not been marked with the holy oil.

bbe@2Samuel:1:24 @O daughters of Israel, have sorrow for Saul, by whom you were delicately clothed in robes of red, with ornaments of gold on your dresses.

bbe@2Samuel:2:2 @So David went there, taking with him his two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel, and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel.

bbe@2Samuel:2:3 @And David took all his men with him, every man with his family: and they were living in the towns round Hebron.

bbe@2Samuel:2:4 @And the men of Judah came there, and with the holy oil made David king over the people of Judah. And word came to David that it was the men of Jabesh-gilead who put Saul's body in its last resting-place.

bbe@2Samuel:2:9 @And made him king over Gilead and the Asherites and over Jezreel and Ephraim and Benjamin, that is, over all Israel.

bbe@2Samuel:2:12 @And Abner, the son of Ner, with the servants of Saul's son Ish-bosheth, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.

bbe@2Samuel:2:13 @And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out and came face to face with them by the pool of Gibeon; and they took up their position, facing one another on opposite sides of the pool.

bbe@2Samuel:2:16 @And every one got the other by the head, driving his sword into the other's side, so they all went down together: and that place was named the Field of Sides, and it is in Gibeon.

bbe@2Samuel:2:20 @Then Abner, looking back, said, Is it you, Asahel? And he said, It is I.

bbe@2Samuel:2:23 @But still he did not go to one side: so Abner gave him a back blow in the stomach with his spear, so that the spear came out at his back; and he went down on the earth, wounded to death: and all those who came to the place where Asahel went down dead, came to a stop.

bbe@2Samuel:2:26 @Then crying out to Joab, Abner said, Are fighting and destruction to go on for ever? do you not see that the end will only be bitter? how long will it be before you send the people back and make them give up attacking their countrymen?

bbe@2Samuel:2:29 @And all that night Abner and his men went through the Arabah; they went over Jordan and through all Bithron and came to Mahanaim.

bbe@2Samuel:2:30 @And Joab came back from fighting Abner: and when he had got all his men together, it was seen that nineteen of David's men, in addition to Asahel, were not with them.

bbe@2Samuel:2:32 @And they took Asahel's body and put it in the last resting-place of his father in Beth-lehem. And Joab and his men, travelling all night, came to Hebron at dawn.

bbe@2Samuel:3:3 @And the second, Chileab, whose mother was Abigail, the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom, son of Maacah, the daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur;

bbe@2Samuel:3:4 @And the fourth, Adonijah, the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah, the son of Abital;

bbe@2Samuel:3:5 @And the sixth, Ithream, whose mother was David's wife Eglah. These were the sons of David, whose birth took place in Hebron.

bbe@2Samuel:3:8 @And Abner was very angry at the words of Ish-bosheth, and he said, Am I a dog's head of Judah? I am this day doing all in my power for the cause of your father Saul and for his brothers and his friends, and have not given you up into the hands of David, and now you say I have done wrong with a woman.

bbe@2Samuel:3:12 @And Abner sent men to David at Hebron, saying, Make an agreement with me, and I will give you my support in getting all Israel on your side.

bbe@2Samuel:3:13 @And he said, It is well; I will make an agreement with you, but on one condition, which is, that when you come before me, Saul's daughter Michal is to come with you; till she comes you will not see my face.

bbe@2Samuel:3:16 @And her husband went with her as far as Bahurim, weeping while he went. Then Abner said to him, Go back. And he went back.

bbe@2Samuel:3:17 @Then Abner had a talk with the chief men of Israel, saying, In the past it was your desire to make David your king: so now, do it:

bbe@2Samuel:3:20 @So Abner, with twenty men, came to Hebron, to David. And David made a feast for Abner and the men who were with him.

bbe@2Samuel:3:21 @And Abner said to David, Now I will go, and make all Israel come to my lord the king, so that they may make an agreement with you, and your kingdom may be as wide as your heart's desire. Then David sent Abner away and he went in peace.

bbe@2Samuel:3:22 @Now the servants of David and Joab had been out attacking a band of armed men, and they came back with a great store of goods taken in the fight: but Abner was no longer in Hebron with David, for he had sent him away and he had gone in peace.

bbe@2Samuel:3:25 @Is it not clear to you that Abner, the son of Ner, came with deceit to get knowledge of your going out and your coming in and of all you are doing?

bbe@2Samuel:3:26 @And when Joab had come out from David, he sent men after Abner, and they overtook him at the water-spring of Sirah, and made him come back with them: but David had no knowledge of it.

bbe@2Samuel:3:27 @And when Abner was back in Hebron, Joab took him on one side by the doorway of the town to have a word with him quietly, and there he gave him a wound in the stomach, causing his death in payment for the death of his brother Asahel.

bbe@2Samuel:3:28 @And when David had word of it he said, May I and my kingdom be clear for ever in the eyes of the Lord from the blood of Abner, the son of Ner:

bbe@2Samuel:3:29 @May it come on the head of Joab and all his father's family: among the men of Joab's family may there ever be some who are diseased or lepers, or who do the work of women, or are put to the sword, or are wasted from need of food!

bbe@2Samuel:3:31 @And David said to Joab and all the people who were with him, Go in grief and put haircloth about you, in sorrow for Abner. And King David went after the dead body.

bbe@2Samuel:3:35 @And the people came to make David take food, while it was still day, but David with an oath said, May God's punishment be on me if I take a taste of bread or any other thing till the sun has gone down!

bbe@2Samuel:3:36 @And all the people took note of it and were pleased: like everything the king did, it was pleasing to the people.

bbe@2Samuel:3:37 @So it was clear to Israel and to all the people on that day that the king was not responsible for the death of Abner, the son of Ner.

bbe@2Samuel:3:39 @While I, though I am crowned king, have little strength, and these men, the sons of Zeruiah, are out of my control: may the Lord give to the evil-doer the reward of his evil-doing!

bbe@2Samuel:4:1 @And when Saul's son Ish-bosheth had news that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands became feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.

bbe@2Samuel:4:2 @And Saul's son had two men, captains of bands, one named Baanah and the other Rechab, sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the tribe of Benjamin; (for Beeroth was at one time taken to be part of Benjamin:

bbe@2Samuel:4:3 @But the people of Beeroth had gone in flight to Gittaim, where they have been living to this day.)

bbe@2Samuel:4:5 @And Rechab and Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, went out and came to the house of Ish-bosheth in the heat of the day, when he was resting in the middle of the day. Now the woman who kept the door was cleaning grain, and sleep overcame her.

bbe@2Samuel:4:6 @And Rechab and his brother Baanah got in without being seen.

bbe@2Samuel:4:7 @And when they came into the house, Ish-bosheth was stretched on his bed in his bedroom; and they made an attack on him and put him to death, and, cutting off his head, they took it with them and went by the road through the Arabah all night.

bbe@2Samuel:4:9 @And David made answer to Rechab and his brother Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, By the living Lord, who has kept me safe from all my trouble,

bbe@2Samuel:4:10 @When one came to me with the news of Saul's death, in the belief that it would be good news, I took him and put him to death in Ziklag, which was the reward I gave him for his news:

bbe@2Samuel:4:12 @And David gave orders to his young men and they put them to death, cutting off their hands and their feet and hanging them up by the side of the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ish-bosheth and put it in its last resting-place with Abner's body in Hebron.

bbe@2Samuel:5:2 @In the past when Saul was king over us, it was you who went at the head of Israel when they went out or came in: and the Lord said to you, You are to be the keeper of my people Israel and their ruler.

bbe@2Samuel:5:3 @So all the responsible men of Israel came to the king at Hebron; and King David made an agreement with them in Hebron before the Lord: and they put the holy oil on David and made him king over Israel.

bbe@2Samuel:5:6 @And the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the people of the land: and they said to David, You will not come in here, but the blind and the feeble-footed will keep you out; for they said, David will not be able to come in here.

bbe@2Samuel:5:8 @And that day David said, Whoever makes an attack on the Jebusites, let him go up by the water-pipe, and put to death all the blind and feeble-footed who are hated by David. And this is why they say, The blind and feeble-footed may not come into the house.

bbe@2Samuel:5:9 @So David took the strong tower for his living-place, naming it the town of David. And David took in hand the building of the town all round, starting from the Millo.

bbe@2Samuel:5:10 @And David became greater and greater; for the Lord, the God of armies, was with him.

bbe@2Samuel:5:11 @And Hiram, king of Tyre, sent men to David, with cedar-trees and woodworkers and stoneworkers: and they made David a house.

bbe@2Samuel:5:12 @And David saw that the Lord had made his position safe as king over Israel, and that he had made his kingdom great because of his people Israel

bbe@2Samuel:5:17 @And when the Philistines had news that David had been made king over Israel, they all went up in search of David; and David, hearing of it, went down to the strong place.

bbe@2Samuel:5:21 @And the Philistines, when they went in flight, did not take their images with them, and David and his men took them away.

bbe@2Samuel:5:23 @And when David went for directions to the Lord, he said, You are not to go up against them in front; but make a circle round them from the back and come on them opposite the spice-trees.

bbe@2Samuel:6:2 @And David, and all the people who were with him, went to Baal of Judah to get the ark of God, over which the holy name is named, the name of the Lord of armies, whose place is between the winged ones.

bbe@2Samuel:6:3 @And they put the ark of God on a new cart and took it out of the house of Abinadab which was on the hill: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, were the drivers of the cart.

bbe@2Samuel:6:4 @And Uzzah went by the side of the ark, while Ahio went before it.

bbe@2Samuel:6:5 @And David and all the men of Israel made melody before the Lord with all their power, with songs and with corded instruments and instruments of brass.

bbe@2Samuel:6:6 @And when they came to Nacon's grain-floor, Uzzah put his hand on the ark of God to keep it safe in its place, for the oxen were out of control.

bbe@2Samuel:6:8 @And David was angry because of the Lord's outburst of wrath against Uzzah: and he gave that place the name Perez-uzzah, which is its name to this day.

bbe@2Samuel:6:10 @So David did not let the ark of the Lord come back to him to the town of David: but had it turned away and put into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

bbe@2Samuel:6:11 @And the ark of the Lord was in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite for three months: and the Lord sent a blessing on Obed-edom and all his family.

bbe@2Samuel:6:12 @And they said to King David, The blessing of the Lord is on the family of Obed-edom and on all he has, because of the ark of God. And David went and took the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the town of David with joy.

bbe@2Samuel:6:14 @And David, clothed in a linen ephod, was dancing before the Lord with all his strength

bbe@2Samuel:6:15 @So David and all the men of Israel took up the ark of the Lord with cries of joy and sounding of horns.

bbe@2Samuel:6:17 @And they took in the ark of the Lord, and put it in its place inside the tent which David had put up for it: and David made burned offerings and peace-offerings to the Lord.

bbe@2Samuel:6:20 @Then David came back to give a blessing to his family. And Michal, Saul's daughter, came out to him and said, How full of glory was the king of Israel today, who let himself be seen uncovered by his servant-girls like a foolish person uncovering himself without shame!

bbe@2Samuel:7:3 @And Nathan said to the king, Go and do whatever is in your heart; for the Lord is with you.

bbe@2Samuel:7:7 @In all the places where I went with all the children of Israel, did I ever say to any of the judges of Israel, to whom I gave the care of my people Israel, Why have you not made me a house of cedar?

bbe@2Samuel:7:9 @And I have been with you wherever you went, cutting off before you all those who were against you; and I will make your name great, like the name of the greatest ones of the earth.

bbe@2Samuel:7:12 @And when the time comes for you to go to rest with your fathers, I will put in your place your seed after you, the offspring of your body, and I will make his kingdom strong.

bbe@2Samuel:7:13 @He will be the builder of a house for my name, and I will make the seat of his authority certain for ever.

bbe@2Samuel:7:14 @I will be to him a father and he will be to me a son: if he does wrong, I will give him punishment with the rod of men and with the blows of the children of men;

bbe@2Samuel:7:15 @But my mercy will not be taken away from him, as I took it from him who was before you.

bbe@2Samuel:7:16 @And your family and your kingdom will keep their place before me for ever: the seat of your authority will never be overturned

bbe@2Samuel:7:21 @Because of your word and from your heart, you have done all this great work, and let your servant see it.

bbe@2Samuel:7:23 @And what other nation in the earth, like your people Israel, did a god go out to take for himself, to be his people, and to make a name for himself, and to do great and strange things for them, driving out a nation and its gods from before his people?

bbe@2Samuel:7:27 @For you, O Lord of armies, the God of Israel, have clearly said to your servant, I will make you the head of a family of kings: and so it has come into your servant's heart to make this prayer to you.

bbe@2Samuel:7:29 @So may it be your pleasure to give your blessing to the family of your servant, so that it may go on for ever before you: (for you, O Lord God, have said it,) and may your blessing be on your servant's family line for ever!

bbe@2Samuel:8:1 @And it came about after this that David made an attack on the Philistines and overcame them; and David took the authority of the mother-town from the hands of the Philistines.

bbe@2Samuel:8:2 @And he overcame the Moabites, and he had them measured with a line when they were stretched out on the earth; marking out two lines for death and one full line for life. So the Moabites became servants to David and gave him offerings.

bbe@2Samuel:8:10 @He sent his son Hadoram to David, with words of peace and blessing, because he had overcome Hadadezer in the fight, for Hadadezer had wars with Tou; and Hadoram took with him vessels of silver and gold and brass:

bbe@2Samuel:8:11 @These King David made holy to the Lord, together with the silver and gold which he had taken from the nations he had overcome--

bbe@2Samuel:8:12 @The nations of Edom and Moab, and the children of Ammon and the Philistines and the Amalekites and the goods he had taken from Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah.

bbe@2Samuel:8:14 @And he put armed forces in Edom; all through Edom he had armed forces stationed, and all the Edomites became servants to David. And the Lord made David overcome wherever he went.

bbe@2Samuel:8:17 @And Zadok and Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, were priests; and Seraiah was the scribe;

bbe@2Samuel:8:18 @And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were priests

bbe@2Samuel:9:10 @And you and your sons and your servants are to take care of the land for him, and get in the fruit of it, so that your master's son may have food: but Mephibosheth, your master's son, will have a place at my table at all times. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.

bbe@2Samuel:10:3 @But the chiefs of the children of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, Does it seem to you that David is honouring your father by sending comforters to you? has he not sent his servants to go through the town and make secret observation of it, and overcome it?

bbe@2Samuel:10:5 @When David had news of it, he sent men out with the purpose of meeting them on their way, for the men were greatly shamed: and the king said, Go to Jericho till your hair is long again, and then come back.

bbe@2Samuel:10:8 @And the children of Ammon came out and put their forces in position at the way into the town: and the Aramaeans of Zobah and of Rehob, with the men of Tob and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.

bbe@2Samuel:10:9 @Now when Joab saw that their forces were in position against him in front and at his back, he took the best of the men of Israel and put them in line against the Aramaeans;

bbe@2Samuel:10:10 @And the rest of the people he put in position against the children of Ammon, with Abishai, his brother, at their head.

bbe@2Samuel:10:13 @Then Joab and the people with him went forward to the fight against the Aramaeans, and they went in flight before him.

bbe@2Samuel:10:16 @And Hadadezer sent for the Aramaeans who were on the other side of the River: and they came to Helam, with Shobach, the captain of Hadadezer's army, at their head.

bbe@2Samuel:10:17 @And word of this was given to David: and he got all Israel together and went over Jordan and came to Helam. And the Aramaeans put their forces in position against David, and made an attack on him.

bbe@2Samuel:10:19 @And when all the kings who were servants of Hadadezer saw that they were overcome by Israel, they made peace with Israel and became their servants. So the Aramaeans, in fear, gave no more help to the children of Ammon.

bbe@2Samuel:11:1 @Now in the spring, at the time when kings go out to war, David sent Joab and his servants and all Israel with him; and they made waste the land of the children of Ammon, and took up their position before Rabbah, shutting it in. But David was still at Jerusalem.

bbe@2Samuel:11:3 @And David sent to get knowledge who the woman was. And one said, Is this not Bath-sheba, the daughter of Eliam and wife of Uriah the Hittite?

bbe@2Samuel:11:5 @And the woman became with child; and she sent word to David that she was with child.

bbe@2Samuel:11:6 @And David sent to Joab saying, Send Uriah the Hittite to me. And Joab sent Uriah to David.

bbe@2Samuel:11:9 @But Uriah took his rest at the door of the king's house, with all the servants of his lord, and did not go down to his house.

bbe@2Samuel:11:11 @And Uriah said to David, Israel and Judah with the ark are living in tents, and my lord Joab and the other servants of my lord are sleeping in the open field; and am I to go to my house and take food and drink, and go to bed with my wife? By the living Lord, and by the life of your soul, I will not do such a thing

bbe@2Samuel:11:13 @And when David sent for him, he took meat and drink with him, and David made him the worse for drink: and when evening came, he went to rest on his bed with the servants of his lord, but he did not go down to his house.

bbe@2Samuel:11:16 @So while Joab was watching the town, he put Uriah in the place where it was clear to him the best fighters were.

bbe@2Samuel:11:17 @And the men of the town went out and had a fight with Joab: and a number of David's men came to their death in the fight, and with them Uriah the Hittite.

bbe@2Samuel:11:20 @If the king is angry and says, Why did you go so near the town for the fight? was it not certain that their archers would be on the wall?

bbe@2Samuel:11:21 @Who put Abimelech, the son of Jerubbaal, to death? did not a woman send a great stone down on him from the wall, putting him to death at Thebez? why did you go so near the wall? Then say to him, Your servant Uriah the Hittite is among the dead.

bbe@2Samuel:11:22 @So the man went, and came to David, and gave him all the news which Joab had sent him to give; then David was angry with Joab and said, Why did you go so near the town for the fight? was it not certain that their archers would be on the wall? who put Abimelech, the son of Jerubbaal, to death? did not a woman send a great stone down on him from the wall, putting him to death at Thebez? why did you go so near the wall?

bbe@2Samuel:11:24 @And the archers sent their arrows at your servants from the wall, and some of the king's servants are dead, and among them is your servant Uriah the Hittite.

bbe@2Samuel:11:25 @Then David said to the man, Go and say to Joab, Do not let this be a grief to you; for one man may come to his death by the sword like another: put up an even stronger fight against the town, and take it: and do you put heart into him.

bbe@2Samuel:11:27 @And when the days of weeping were past, David sent for her, and took her into his house, and she became his wife and gave him a son. But the Lord was not pleased with the thing David had done.

bbe@2Samuel:12:3 @But the poor man had only one little she-lamb, which he had got and taken care of: from its birth it had been with him like one of his children; his meat was its food, and from his cup it took its drink, resting in his arms, and it was like a daughter to him.

bbe@2Samuel:12:4 @Now a traveller came to the house of the man of wealth, but he would not take anything from his flock or his herd to make a meal for the traveller who had come to him, but he took the poor man's lamb and made it ready for the man who had come.

bbe@2Samuel:12:6 @And he will have to give back four times the value of the lamb, because he has done this and because he had no pity.

bbe@2Samuel:12:9 @Why then have you had no respect for the word of the Lord, doing what is evil in his eyes? You have put Uriah the Hittite to death with the sword, and have taken his wife to be your wife; you have put him to death with the sword of the children of Ammon.

bbe@2Samuel:12:10 @So now the sword will never be turned away from your family; because you have had no respect for me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.

bbe@2Samuel:12:12 @You did it secretly; but I will do this thing before all Israel and in the light of the sun.

bbe@2Samuel:12:15 @Then Nathan went back to his house. And the hand of the Lord was on David's son, the child of Uriah's wife, and it became very ill.

bbe@2Samuel:12:17 @And the chief men of his house got up and went to his side to make him get up from the earth, but he would not; and he would not take food with them.

bbe@2Samuel:12:20 @Then David got up from the earth, and after washing and rubbing himself with oil and changing his clothing, he went into the house of the Lord and gave worship: then he went back to his house, and at his order they put food before him and he had a meal.

bbe@2Samuel:12:21 @Then his servants said to him, Why have you been acting in this way? you were weeping and going without food while the child was still living; but when the child was dead, you got up and had a meal.

bbe@2Samuel:12:22 @And he said, While the child was still living I went without food and gave myself up to weeping: for I said, Who is able to say that the Lord will not have mercy on me and give the child life?

bbe@2Samuel:12:23 @But now that the child is dead there is no reason for me to go without food; am I able to make him come back to life? I will go to him, but he will never come back to me.

bbe@2Samuel:12:24 @And David gave comfort to his wife Bath-sheba, and he went in to her and had connection with her: and she had a son to whom she gave the name Solomon. And he was dear to the Lord.

bbe@2Samuel:12:28 @So now, get the rest of the people together, and put them in position against the town and take it, for if I take it, it will be named after my name.

bbe@2Samuel:12:29 @Then David got all the people together and went to Rabbah and made war on it and took it.

bbe@2Samuel:12:30 @And he took the crown of Milcom from his head; the weight of it was a talent of gold, and in it were stones of great price; and it was put on David's head. And he took a great store of goods from the town.

bbe@2Samuel:12:31 @And he took the people out of the town and put them to work with wood-cutting instruments, and iron grain-crushers, and iron axes, and at brick-making: this he did to all the towns of the children of Ammon. Then David and all the people went back to Jerusalem.

bbe@2Samuel:13:1 @Now after this, it came about that Absalom, David's son, had a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar; and David's son Amnon was in love with her.

bbe@2Samuel:13:2 @And he was so deeply in love that he became ill because of his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin, and so it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything to her.

bbe@2Samuel:13:4 @And he said to him, O son of the king, why are you getting thinner day by day? will you not say what your trouble is? And Amnon said to him, I am in love with Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.

bbe@2Samuel:13:5 @Then Jonadab said to him, Go to your bed, and let it seem that you are ill: and when your father comes to see you, say to him, Let my sister Tamar come and give me bread, and get the food ready before my eyes, so that I may see it and take it from her hand.

bbe@2Samuel:13:10 @Then Amnon said to Tamar, Take the food and come into my bedroom, so that I may take it from your hand. So Tamar took the cakes she had made and went with them into her brother Amnon's bedroom.

bbe@2Samuel:13:12 @And answering him, she said, O my brother, do not put shame on me; it is not right for such a thing to be done in Israel: do not this evil thing.

bbe@2Samuel:13:13 @What will become of me in my shame? and as for you, you will be looked down on with disgust by all Israel. Now then, go and make your request to the king, for he will not keep me from you.

bbe@2Samuel:13:14 @But he would not give attention to what she said: but being stronger than she, he took her by force, and had connection with her.

bbe@2Samuel:13:15 @Then Amnon was full of hate for her, hating her with a hate greater than his earlier love for her

bbe@2Samuel:13:17 @Then he gave a cry to the servant who was waiting on him and said, Put this woman out, and let the door be locked after her.

bbe@2Samuel:13:20 @And her brother Absalom said to her, Has your brother Amnon been with you? but now, let there be an end to your crying, my sister: he is your brother, do not take this thing to heart. So Tamar went on living uncomforted in her brother's house.

bbe@2Samuel:13:26 @Then Absalom said, If you will not go, then let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said to him, Is there any reason for him to go with you?

bbe@2Samuel:13:27 @But Absalom went on requesting him till he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him. And Absalom made a great feast like a feast for a king.

bbe@2Samuel:13:28 @Now Absalom had given orders to his servants, saying, Now take note when Amnon's heart is glad with wine; and when I say to you, Make an attack on Amnon, then put him to death without fear: have I not given you orders? be strong and without fear.

bbe@2Samuel:13:31 @Then the king got up in great grief, stretching himself out on the earth: and all his servants were by his side, with their clothing parted.

bbe@2Samuel:13:33 @So now, let not my lord the king take this thing to heart, with the idea that all the king's sons are dead: for only Amnon is dead.

bbe@2Samuel:13:35 @And Jonadab said to the king, See, the king's sons are coming; as your servant said, so it is.

bbe@2Samuel:13:36 @And while he was talking, the king's sons came, with weeping and loud cries: and the king and all his servants were weeping bitterly.

bbe@2Samuel:13:39 @And the heart of David was wasted with desire for Absalom: for he was comforted for the death of Amnon.

bbe@2Samuel:14:1 @Now it was clear to Joab, the son of Zeruiah, that the king's heart was turning to Absalom.

bbe@2Samuel:14:6 @And I had two sons, and the two of them had a fight in the field, and there was no one to come between them, and one with a blow put the other to death.

bbe@2Samuel:14:7 @And now all the family is turned against me, your servant, saying, Give up him who was the cause of his brother's death, so that we may put him to death in payment for the life of his brother, whose life he took; and we will put an end to the one who will get the heritage: so they will put out my last burning coal, and my husband will have no name or offspring on the face of the earth.

bbe@2Samuel:14:14 @For death comes to us all, and we are like water drained out on the earth, which it is not possible to take up again; and God will not take away the life of the man whose purpose is that he who has been sent away may not be completely cut off from him.

bbe@2Samuel:14:15 @And now it is my fear of the people which has made me come to say these words to my lord the king: and your servant said, I will put my cause before the king, and it may be that he will give effect to my request.

bbe@2Samuel:14:16 @For the king will give ear, and take his servant out of the power of the man whose purpose is the destruction of me and my son together from the heritage of God.

bbe@2Samuel:14:17 @Then your servant said, May the word of my lord the king give me peace! for my lord the king is as the angel of God in his hearing of good and bad: and may the Lord your God be with you!

bbe@2Samuel:14:19 @And the king said, Is not the hand of Joab with you in all this? And the woman in answer said, By the life of your soul, my lord the king, it is not possible for anyone to go to the right hand or to the left from anything said by the king: your servant Joab gave me orders, and put all these words in my mouth:

bbe@2Samuel:14:20 @This he did, hoping that the face of this business might be changed: and my lord is wise, with the wisdom of the angel of God, having knowledge of everything on earth.

bbe@2Samuel:14:21 @And the king said to Joab, See now, I will do this thing: go then and Come back with the young man Absalom.

bbe@2Samuel:14:22 @Then Joab, falling down on his face on the earth, gave the king honour and blessing; and Joab said, Today it is clear to your servant that I have grace in your eyes, my lord king, because the king has given effect to the request of his servant.

bbe@2Samuel:14:23 @So Joab got up and went to Geshur and came back again to Jerusalem with Absalom.

bbe@2Samuel:14:28 @For two full years Absalom was living in Jerusalem without ever seeing the face of the king.

bbe@2Samuel:14:30 @So he said to his servants, See, Joab's field is near mine, and he has barley in it; go and put it on fire. And Absalom's servants put the field on fire.

bbe@2Samuel:14:32 @And Absalom's answer was, See, I sent to you saying, Come here, so that I may send you to the king to say, Why have I come back from Geshur? it would be better for me to be there still: let me now see the king's face, and if there is any sin in me, let him put me to death.

bbe@2Samuel:15:11 @And with Absalom, at his request, went two hundred men from Jerusalem, who were completely unconscious of his designs.

bbe@2Samuel:15:12 @And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, one of David's helpers, from Giloh his town, while he was making the offerings. And the design against David became strong, for more and more people were joined to Absalom.

bbe@2Samuel:15:14 @And David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, Come, let us go in flight, or not one of us will be safe from Absalom: let us go without loss of time, or he will overtake us quickly and send evil on us, and put the town to the sword.

bbe@2Samuel:15:16 @So the king went out, taking with him all the people of his house, but for ten of his women, who were to take care of the house.

bbe@2Samuel:15:18 @And all the people went on by his side; and all the Cherethites and all the Pelethites and all the men of Ittai of Gath, six hundred men who came after him from Gath, went on before the king.

bbe@2Samuel:15:19 @Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, Why are you coming with us? go back and keep with the king: for you are a man of another country, you are far from the land of your birth

bbe@2Samuel:15:20 @It was only yesterday you came to us; why then am I to make you go up and down with us? for I have to go where I may; go back then, and take your countrymen with you, and may the Lord's mercy and good faith be with you.

bbe@2Samuel:15:21 @And Ittai the Gittite in answer said, By the living Lord, and by the life of my lord the king, in whatever place my lord the king may be, for life or death, there will your servant be.

bbe@2Samuel:15:22 @And David said to Ittai, Go forward, then. And Ittai the Gittite went on, with all his men and all the little ones he had with him.

bbe@2Samuel:15:23 @And there was great weeping in all the country when all the people went through; and the king himself was waiting in the Kidron valley and all the people went by him in the direction of the olive-tree on the edge of the waste land.

bbe@2Samuel:15:24 @Then Zadok came, and Abiathar, and with them the ark of God's agreement: and they put down the ark of God, till all the people from the town had gone by.

bbe@2Samuel:15:25 @And the king said to Zadok, Take the ark of God back into the town: if I have grace in the eyes of the Lord, he will let me come back and see it and his House again:

bbe@2Samuel:15:27 @The king said further to Zadok the priest, See, you and Abiathar are to go back to the town in peace, with your two sons, Ahimaaz, your son, and Jonathan, the son of Abiathar.

bbe@2Samuel:15:28 @See, I will be waiting at the way across the river, in the waste land, till I get news from you.

bbe@2Samuel:15:30 @And David went up the slopes of the Mount of Olives weeping all the way, with his head covered and no shoes on his feet: and all the people who were with him, covering their heads, went up weeping.

bbe@2Samuel:15:31 @And word came to David, saying, Ahithophel is among those who are joined to Absalom. And David said, O Lord, let the wisdom of Ahithophel be made foolish.

bbe@2Samuel:15:32 @Now when David had come to the top of the slope, where they gave worship to God, Hushai the Archite came to him in great grief with dust on his head:

bbe@2Samuel:15:33 @David said to him, If you go on with me, you will be a trouble to me:

bbe@2Samuel:15:34 @But if you go back to the town and say to Absalom, I will be your servant, O king; as in the past I have been your father's servant, so now I will be yours: then you will be able to keep Ahithophel's designs against me from being put into effect.

bbe@2Samuel:15:35 @And have you not there Zadok and Abiathar the priests? so whatever comes to your ears from the king's house, give word of it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.

bbe@2Samuel:15:36 @See, they have with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok's son, and Jonathan, the son of Abiathar; by them you may send word to me of everything which comes to your ears.

bbe@2Samuel:16:1 @And when David had gone a little way past the top of the slope, Ziba, the servant of Mephibosheth, came to him, with two asses on which were two hundred cakes of bread and a hundred stems of dry grapes and a hundred summer fruits and a skin of wine.

bbe@2Samuel:16:2 @And David said to Ziba, What is your reason for this? And Ziba said, The asses are for the use of the king's people, and the bread and the fruit are food for the young men; and the wine is for drink for those who are overcome by weariness in the waste land.

bbe@2Samuel:16:7 @And Shimei said, with curses, Be gone, be gone, you man of blood, you good-for-nothing:

bbe@2Samuel:16:10 @And the king said, What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? Let him go on cursing, for the Lord has said, Put a curse on David, and who then may say, Why have you done so?

bbe@2Samuel:16:11 @And David said to Abishai and to all his servants, You see how my son, the offspring of my body, has made designs against my life: how much more then may this Benjamite do so? Let him be, and let him go on cursing; for the Lord has given him orders.

bbe@2Samuel:16:12 @It may be that the Lord will take note of my wrongs, and give me back good in answer to his cursing of me today.

bbe@2Samuel:16:13 @So David and his men went on their way: and Shimei went by the hillside parallel with them, cursing and sending stones and dust at him.

bbe@2Samuel:16:15 @And Absalom and the men of Israel came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel was with him.

bbe@2Samuel:16:16 @Then Hushai the Archite, David's friend, came to Absalom and said, Long life to the king, long life to the king!

bbe@2Samuel:16:17 @And Absalom said, Is this your love for your friend? why did you not go with your friend?

bbe@2Samuel:16:18 @And Hushai said to Absalom, Not so; I am for that man whom the Lord and this people and all the men of Israel have taken as king, and I will take my place with him.

bbe@2Samuel:16:19 @And more than this! where is my place as a servant? is it not before his son? as I have been your father's servant, so will I be yours.

bbe@2Samuel:16:20 @Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, Give your opinion now, what are we to do?

bbe@2Samuel:16:21 @And Ahithophel said to Absalom, Go in to your father's women who are here looking after his house; then all Israel will have the news that you are hated by your father, and the hands of your supporters will be strong

bbe@2Samuel:16:23 @In those days the opinions of Ahithophel were valued as highly as if through him a man might get direction from God; so were they valued by David as much as by Absalom.

bbe@2Samuel:17:1 @Then Ahithophel said to Absalom, Let me take out twelve thousand men and this very night I will go after David:

bbe@2Samuel:17:2 @And I will come up with him when he is tired and feeble, and make him full of fear: and all the people with him will go in flight; and I will make an attack on the king only:

bbe@2Samuel:17:3 @And I will make all the people come back to you as a bride comes back to her husband: it is the life of only one man you are going after; so all the people will be at peace.

bbe@2Samuel:17:5 @Then Absalom said, Now send for Hushai the Archite, and let us give ear to what he has to say.

bbe@2Samuel:17:6 @And when Hushai came, Absalom said to him, This is what Ahithophel has said: are we to do as he says? if not, what is your suggestion?

bbe@2Samuel:17:7 @And Hushai said to Absalom, Ahithophel's idea is not a good one at this time.

bbe@2Samuel:17:8 @Hushai said further, You have knowledge of your father and his men, that they are men of war, and that their feelings are bitter, like those of a bear in the field whose young ones have been taken from her: and your father is a man of war, and will not take his night's rest with the people;

bbe@2Samuel:17:9 @But he will certainly have taken cover now in some hole or secret place; and if some of our people, at the first attack, are overcome, then any hearing of it will say, There is destruction among the people who are on Absalom's side.

bbe@2Samuel:17:10 @Then even the strongest, whose heart is like the heart of a lion, will become like water; for all Israel is conscious that your father is a man of war, and those who are with him are strong and without fear.

bbe@2Samuel:17:12 @Then we will come on him in some place, wherever he may be, falling on him as the dew comes on the earth: and of him and all the men who are with him not one will get away with his life.

bbe@2Samuel:17:13 @And if he has gone into some town, then let all Israel take strong cords to that town, and we will have it pulled into the valley, till not one small stone is to be seen there.

bbe@2Samuel:17:14 @Then Absalom and all the men of Israel said, Hushai's suggestion is better than that of Ahithophel. For it was the purpose of the Lord to make the wise designs of Ahithophel without effect, so that the Lord might send evil on Absalom.

bbe@2Samuel:17:15 @Then Hushai said to Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, This is the suggestion made by Ahithophel to Absalom and the responsible men of Israel, and this is what I said to them.

bbe@2Samuel:17:16 @So now send the news quickly to David, and say, Do not take your night's rest by the way across the river to the waste land, but be certain to go over; or the king and all the people with him will come to destruction.

bbe@2Samuel:17:17 @Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were waiting by En-rogel; and a servant-girl went from time to time and gave them news and they went with the news to King David, for it was not wise for them to let themselves be seen coming into the town.

bbe@2Samuel:17:18 @But a boy saw them, and gave word of it to Absalom: so the two of them went away quickly, and came to the house of a man in Bahurim who had a water-hole in his garden, and they went down into it.

bbe@2Samuel:17:19 @And a woman put a cover over the hole, and put crushed grain on top of it, and no one had any knowledge of it.

bbe@2Samuel:17:21 @Then after the servants had gone away, they came up out of the water-hole and went to give King David the news; and they said, Get up and go quickly over the water, for such and such are Ahithophel's designs against you.

bbe@2Samuel:17:22 @So David and all the people who were with him went up over Jordan: when dawn came, every one of them had gone over Jordan.

bbe@2Samuel:17:23 @Now when Ahithophel saw that his suggestion was not acted on, he got his ass ready, and went back to his house, to the town where he came from, and having put his house in order, he put himself to death by hanging; so he came to his end and was put in the resting-place of his father

bbe@2Samuel:17:24 @And David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom, with all the men of Israel, went over Jordan.

bbe@2Samuel:17:25 @And Absalom put Amasa at the head of the army in place of Joab. Now Amasa was the son of a man named Ithra the Ishmaelite, who had been the lover of Abigail, the daughter of Jesse, sister of Zeruiah, Joab's mother.

bbe@2Samuel:17:27 @Now when David had come to Mahanaim, Shobi, the son of Nahash of Rabbah, the Ammonite, and Machir, the son of Ammiel of Lo-debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim,

bbe@2Samuel:17:28 @Came with beds and basins and pots, and grain and meal, and all sorts of dry foods,

bbe@2Samuel:18:1 @And David had the people who were with him numbered, and he put over them captains of thousands and captains of hundreds.

bbe@2Samuel:18:2 @And David sent the people out, a third of them under the orders of Joab, and a third under the orders of Abishai, son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and a third under Ittai the Gittite. And the king said to the people, And I myself will certainly go out with you.

bbe@2Samuel:18:3 @But the people said, It is better for you not to go out: for if we are put to flight, they will not give a thought to us, and if death overtakes half of us, it will be nothing to them: but you are of more value than ten thousand of us: so it is better for you to be ready to come to our help from this town.

bbe@2Samuel:18:5 @And the king gave orders to Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Because of me, be gentle to the young man Absalom. And this order about Absalom was given in the hearing of all the people.

bbe@2Samuel:18:10 @And a certain man saw it and said to Joab, I saw Absalom hanging in a tree

bbe@2Samuel:18:11 @And Joab said to the man who had given him the news, If you saw this, why did you not put your sword through him, and I would have given you ten bits of silver and a band for your robe?

bbe@2Samuel:18:12 @And the man said to Joab, Even if you gave me a thousand bits of silver, I would not put out my hand against the king's son: for in our hearing the king gave orders to you and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Take care that the young man Absalom is not touched.

bbe@2Samuel:18:13 @And if I had falsely put him to death (and nothing may be kept secret from the king), you would have had nothing to do with me.

bbe@2Samuel:18:14 @Then Joab said, I would have made it safe for you. And he took three spears in his hand, and put them through Absalom's heart, while he was still living, in the branches of the tree.

bbe@2Samuel:18:17 @And they took Absalom's body and put it into a great hole in the wood, and put a great mass of stones over it: and every man of Israel went in flight to his tent.

bbe@2Samuel:18:18 @Now Absalom, before his death, had put up for himself a pillar in the king's valley, naming it after himself; for he said, I have no son to keep my name in memory: and to this day it is named Absalom's pillar.

bbe@2Samuel:18:21 @Then Joab said to the Cushite, Go and give the king word of what you have seen. And the Cushite, making a sign of respect to Joab, went off running.

bbe@2Samuel:18:22 @Then Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok, said to Joab again, Whatever may come of it, let me go after the Cushite. And Joab said, Why have you a desire to go, my son, seeing that you will get no reward for your news?

bbe@2Samuel:18:23 @Whatever may come of it, he said, I will go. Then he said to him, Go. So Ahimaaz went running by the lowland road and overtook the Cushite.

bbe@2Samuel:18:25 @And the watchman gave news of it to the king. And the king said, If he is coming by himself, then he has news. And the man was travelling quickly, and came near.

bbe@2Samuel:18:26 @Then the watchman saw another man running: and crying out in the direction of the door he said, Here is another man running by himself. And the king said, He, like the other, comes with news.

bbe@2Samuel:18:27 @And the watchman said, It seems to me that the running of the first is like the running of Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok. And the king said, He is a good man, and his news will be good.

bbe@2Samuel:18:28 @And Ahimaaz, crying out to the king, said, It is well. And falling down before the king, with his face to the earth, he said, May the Lord your God be praised, who has given up the men who took up arms against my lord the king!

bbe@2Samuel:18:29 @And the king said, Is it well with the young man Absalom? And Ahimaaz said in answer, When Joab sent me, your servant, I saw a great outcry going on, but I had no knowledge of what it was.

bbe@2Samuel:18:31 @And then the Cushite came and said, I have news for my lord the king: today the Lord has done right in your cause against all those who took up arms against you.

bbe@2Samuel:18:32 @And the king said to the Cushite, Is the young man Absalom safe? And the Cushite said in answer, May all the king's haters and those who do evil against the king, be as that young man is!

bbe@2Samuel:19:2 @And the salvation of that day was changed to sorrow for all the people: for it was said to the people, The king is in bitter grief for his son.

bbe@2Samuel:19:6 @For your haters, it seems, are dear to you, and your friends are hated. For you have made it clear that captains and servants are nothing to you: and now I see that if Absalom was living and we had all been dead today, it would have been right in your eyes.

bbe@2Samuel:19:7 @So get up now, and go out and say some kind words to your servants; for, by the Lord, I give you my oath, that if you do not go out, not one of them will keep with you tonight; and that will be worse for you than all the evil which has overtaken you from your earliest years.

bbe@2Samuel:19:14 @And the hearts of the men of Judah were moved like one man; so that they sent to the king, saying, Come back, with all your servants.

bbe@2Samuel:19:15 @So the king came back, and came as far as Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, meeting the king there, to take him back with them over Jordan.

bbe@2Samuel:19:16 @And Shimei, the son of Gera, the Benjamite from Bahurim, got up quickly and went down with the men of Judah for the purpose of meeting King David;

bbe@2Samuel:19:17 @And with him a thousand men of Benjamin, and Ziba, the servant of Saul, with his fifteen sons and twenty servants, came rushing to Jordan before the king,

bbe@2Samuel:19:19 @And said to him, Let me not be judged as a sinner in your eyes, O my lord, and do not keep in mind the wrong I did on the day when my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, or take it to heart.

bbe@2Samuel:19:22 @And David said, What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah, that you put yourselves against me today? is it right for any man in Israel to be put to death today? for I am certain today that I am king in Israel.

bbe@2Samuel:19:25 @Now when he had come from Jerusalem to see the king, the king said to him, Why did you not come with me, Mephibosheth?

bbe@2Samuel:19:26 @And he said in answer, Because of the deceit of my servant, my lord king: for I, your servant, said to him, You are to make ready an ass and on it I will go with the king, for your servant has not the use of his feet.

bbe@2Samuel:19:30 @And Mephibosheth said, Let him take it all, now that my lord the king has come back to his house in peace!

bbe@2Samuel:19:31 @And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim; and he went on as far as Jordan with the king to take him across Jordan.

bbe@2Samuel:19:33 @And the king said to Barzillai, Come over with me, and I will take care of you in Jerusalem.

bbe@2Samuel:19:34 @And Barzillai said to the king, How much of my life is still before me, for me to go up to Jerusalem with the king?

bbe@2Samuel:19:37 @Let your servant now go back again, so that when death comes to me, it may be in my town and by the resting-place of my father and mother. But here is your servant Chimham: let him go with my lord the king, and do for him what seems good to you.

bbe@2Samuel:19:38 @And the king said in answer, Let Chimham go over with me, and I will do for him whatever seems good to you: and whatever your desire is, I will do it for you.

bbe@2Samuel:19:39 @Then all the people went over Jordan, and the king went over: and the king gave Barzillai a kiss, with his blessing; and he went back to his place.

bbe@2Samuel:19:40 @So the king went over to Gilgal, and Chimham went with him: and all the people of Judah, as well as half the people of Israel, took the king on his way.

bbe@2Samuel:19:41 @Then the men of Israel came to the king and said, Why have our countrymen of Judah taken you away in secret and come over Jordan with the king and all his family, because all his people are David's men?

bbe@2Samuel:20:1 @Now by chance there was present a good-for-nothing person named Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite: and he, sounding the horn, said, We have no part in David, or any interest in the son of Jesse: let every man go to his tent, O Israel.

bbe@2Samuel:20:2 @So all the men of Israel, turning away from David, went after Sheba, the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah were true to their king, going with him from Jordan as far as Jerusalem.

bbe@2Samuel:20:7 @So there went after Abishai, Joab and the Cherethites and the Pelethites and all the fighting-men; they went out of Jerusalem to overtake Sheba, the son of Bichri.

bbe@2Samuel:20:8 @When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa came face to face with them. Now Joab had on his war-dress, and round him a band from which his sword was hanging in its cover; and while he was walking, it came out, falling to the earth.

bbe@2Samuel:20:9 @And Joab said to Amasa, Is it well, my brother? And with his right hand he took him by the hair of his chin to give him a kiss.

bbe@2Samuel:20:10 @But Amasa did not see danger from the sword which was now in Joab's left hand, and Joab put it through his stomach so that his inside came out on to the earth, and he did not give him another blow. So Joab and his brother Abishai went on after Sheba, the son of Bichri.

bbe@2Samuel:20:14 @And Sheba went through all the tribes of Israel, to Abel of Beth-maacah; and all the Bichrites came together and went in after him.

bbe@2Samuel:20:16 @Then a wise woman got up on the wall, and crying out from the town, said, Give ear, give ear; say now to Joab, Come near, so that I may have talk with you.

bbe@2Samuel:20:18 @Then she said, In the old days, there was a saying, Let them put the question in Abel and in Dan, saying, Has what was ordered by men of good faith in Israel ever come to an end?

bbe@2Samuel:20:19 @Your purpose is the destruction of a mother-town in Israel: why would you put an end to the heritage of the Lord?

bbe@2Samuel:20:20 @And Joab, answering her, said, Far, far be it from me to be a cause of death or destruction;

bbe@2Samuel:20:22 @Then the woman in her wisdom had talk with all the town. And they had Sheba's head cut off and sent out to Joab. And he had the horn sounded, and sent them all away from the town, every man to his tent. And Joab went back to Jerusalem to the king.

bbe@2Samuel:20:23 @Now Joab was over all the army; and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was at the head of the Cherethites and the Pelethites;

bbe@2Samuel:20:26 @And in addition, Ira the Jairite was a priest to David.

bbe@2Samuel:21:1 @In the days of David they were short of food for three years, year after year; and David went before the Lord for directions. And the Lord said, On Saul and on his family there is blood, because he put the Gibeonites to death.

bbe@2Samuel:21:2 @Then the king sent for the Gibeonites; (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but were the last of the Amorites, to whom the children of Israel had given an oath; but Saul, in his passion for the children of Israel and Judah, had made an attempt on their lives:)

bbe@2Samuel:21:3 @So David said to the Gibeonites, What may I do for you? how am I to make up to you for your wrongs, so that you may give a blessing to the heritage of the Lord?

bbe@2Samuel:21:4 @And the Gibeonites said to him, It is not a question of silver and gold between us and Saul or his family; and it is not in our power to put to death any man in Israel. And he said, Say, then, what am I to do for you?

bbe@2Samuel:21:8 @But the king took Armoni and Mephibosheth, the two sons of Saul to whom Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, had given birth; and the five sons of Saul's daughter Merab, whose father was Adriel, the son of Barzillai the Meholathite:

bbe@2Samuel:21:9 @And he gave them up to the Gibeonites, and they put them to death, hanging them on the mountain before the Lord; all seven came to their end together in the first days of the grain-cutting, at the start of the cutting of the barley.

bbe@2Samuel:21:10 @And Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, took haircloth, placing it on the rock as a bed for herself, from the start of the grain-cutting till rain came down on them from heaven; and she did not let the birds of the air come near them by day, or the beasts of the field by night.

bbe@2Samuel:21:14 @And they put them with the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan in the resting-place of Kish, his father, in Zela in the country of Benjamin; they did all the king had given them orders to do

bbe@2Samuel:21:15 @And the Philistines went to war again with Israel; and David went down with his people, and while they were at Gob they had a fight with the Philistines:

bbe@2Samuel:21:17 @But Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, came to his help, and, turning on the Philistine, gave him his death-blow. Then David's men took an oath, and said, Never again are you to go out with us to the fight, so that you may not put out the light of Israel.

bbe@2Samuel:21:18 @Now after this there was war with the Philistines again at Gob, and Sibbecai the Hushathite put to death Saph, one of the offspring of the Rephaim.

bbe@2Samuel:21:19 @And again there was war with the Philistines at Gob, and Elhanan, the son of Jair the Beth-lehemite, put to death Goliath the Gittite, the stem of whose spear was like a cloth-worker's rod.

bbe@2Samuel:22:3 @My God, my Rock, in him will I put my faith; my breastplate, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my safe place; my saviour, who keeps me safe from the violent man.

bbe@2Samuel:22:8 @Then the earth was moved with a violent shock; the bases of heaven were moved and shaking, because he was angry.

bbe@2Samuel:22:9 @There went up a smoke from his nose, and a fire of destruction from his mouth: coals were lighted by it.

bbe@2Samuel:22:10 @The heavens were bent, so that he might come down; and it was dark under his feet.

bbe@2Samuel:22:31 @As for God, his way is all good: the word of the Lord is tested; he is a safe cover for all those who put their faith in him.

bbe@2Samuel:22:40 @For I have been armed by you with strength for the fight: you have made low under me those who came out against me.

bbe@2Samuel:22:45 @Men of other countries will, with false hearts, put themselves under my authority: from the time when my name comes to their ears, they will be ruled by me.

bbe@2Samuel:22:46 @They will be wasted away, they will come out of their secret places shaking with fear.

bbe@2Samuel:22:48 @It is God who sends punishment on my haters, and puts peoples under my rule.

bbe@2Samuel:23:2 @The spirit of the Lord had voice through me, his word was on my tongue.

bbe@2Samuel:23:4 @It is as the light of the morning, when the sun comes up, a morning without clouds; making young grass come to life from the earth.

bbe@2Samuel:23:5 @For is not my house so with God? For he has made with me an eternal agreement, ordered in all things and certain: as for all my salvation and all my desire, will he not give it increase?

bbe@2Samuel:23:7 @But anyone touching them has to be armed with iron and the rod of a spear; and they will be burned with fire, every one of them.

bbe@2Samuel:23:8 @These are the names of David's men of war: Ishbaal the Hachmonite, chief of the three; his axe was lifted up against eight hundred put to death at one time.

bbe@2Samuel:23:9 @After him was Eleazar, the son of Dodai the Ahohite, one of the three great fighters, who was with David in Pas-dammim when the Philistines came together there for the fight; and when the men of Israel had gone in flight,

bbe@2Samuel:23:10 @He was with David and went on fighting the Philistines till his hand became tired and stiff from gripping his sword: and that day the Lord gave a great salvation, and the people came back after him only to take the goods of the Philistines.

bbe@2Samuel:23:11 @After him was Shammah, the son of Ela the Hararite. And the Philistines came together in Lehi, where there was a bit of land full of seed; and the people went in flight from the Philistines.

bbe@2Samuel:23:12 @But he kept his place in the middle of the bit of land, and kept back their attack and overcame the Philistines: and the Lord gave a great salvation.

bbe@2Samuel:23:13 @And three of the thirty went down at the start of the grain-cutting, and they came to David at the strong place of Adullam; and the band of Philistines had taken up their position in the valley of Rephaim.

bbe@2Samuel:23:16 @And the three men, forcing their way through the Philistine army, got water from the water-hole of Beth-lehem, by the doorway into the town, and took it back to David: but he would not take it, but, draining it out, made an offering of it to the Lord.

bbe@2Samuel:23:17 @And he said, Far be it from me, O Lord, to do this; how may I take as my drink the life-blood of men who have put their lives in danger? So he would not take it. These things did the three great men of war.

bbe@2Samuel:23:21 @And he made an attack on an Egyptian, a tall man: and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a stick, and pulling the spear out of the hands of the Egyptian, put him to death with that same spear.

bbe@2Samuel:24:7 @And to the walled town of Tyre, and to all the towns of the Hivites and the Canaanites: and they went out to the South of Judah at Beer-sheba.

bbe@2Samuel:24:12 @Go and say to David, The Lord says, Three things are offered to you: say which of them you will have, and I will do it to you.

bbe@2Samuel:24:16 @And when the hand of the angel was stretched out in the direction of Jerusalem, for its destruction, the Lord had regret for the evil, and said to the angel who was sending destruction on the people, It is enough; do no more. And the angel of the Lord was by the grain-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

bbe@2Samuel:24:18 @And that day Gad came to David and said to him, Go up, and put up an altar to the Lord on the grain-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

bbe@2Samuel:24:22 @And Araunah said to David, Let my lord the king take whatever seems right to him, and make an offering of it: see, here are the oxen for the burned offering, and the grain-cleaning instruments and the ox-yokes for wood:

bbe@2Samuel:24:23 @All this does the servant of my lord the king give to the king. And Araunah said, May the Lord your God be pleased with your offering!

bbe@2Samuel:24:24 @And the king said to Araunah, No, but I will give you a price for it; I will not give to the Lord my God burned offerings for which I have given nothing. So David got the grain-floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

bbe@1Kings:1:2 @So his servants said to him, Let search be made for a young virgin for my lord the king, to take care of him and be waiting on him; and you may take her in your arms, and so my lord the king will be warm.

bbe@1Kings:1:3 @So after searching through all the land of Israel for a fair young girl, they saw Abishag the Shunammite, and took her to the king.

bbe@1Kings:1:4 @Now she was very beautiful; and she took care of the king, waiting on him at all times; but the king had no connection with her.

bbe@1Kings:1:5 @Then Adonijah, the son of Haggith, lifting himself up in pride, said, I will become king; and he made ready his carriages of war and his horsemen, with fifty runners to go before him.

bbe@1Kings:1:7 @And he had talk with Joab, the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest; and they were on his side and gave him their support.

bbe@1Kings:1:11 @Then Nathan said to Bath-sheba, the mother of Solomon, Has it not come to your ears that Adonijah, the son of Haggith, has made himself king without the knowledge of David our lord?

bbe@1Kings:1:14 @And while you are still talking there with the king, see, I will come in after you and say that your story is true.

bbe@1Kings:1:15 @Then Bath-sheba went into the king's room; now the king was very old, and Abishag the Shunammite was waiting on him.

bbe@1Kings:1:18 @And now, see, Adonijah has made himself king without my lord's knowledge;

bbe@1Kings:1:20 @And now, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are on you, waiting for you to say who is to take the place of my lord the king after him.

bbe@1Kings:1:21 @For as things are, it will come about, when my lord the king is sleeping with his fathers, that I and Solomon my son will be made outlaws.

bbe@1Kings:1:22 @And while she was still talking with the king, Nathan the prophet came in.

bbe@1Kings:1:25 @Because today he has gone down and has put to death oxen and fat beasts and sheep in great numbers, and has sent for all the king's sons to come to him, with the captains of the army and Abiathar the priest; and they are feasting before him and crying, Long life to King Adonijah!

bbe@1Kings:1:27 @Has this thing been done by my lord the king, without giving word to your servants who was to be placed on my lord the king's seat after him?

bbe@1Kings:1:33 @And the king said to them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and put Solomon my son on my beast, yes, mine, and take him down to Gihon;

bbe@1Kings:1:36 @And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, answering the king, said, So be it: and may the Lord, the God of my lord the king, say so.

bbe@1Kings:1:37 @As the Lord has been with my lord the king, even so may he be with Solomon and make the seat of his authority greater than that of my lord King David.

bbe@1Kings:1:38 @So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, went down and put Solomon on King David's beast and took him to Gihon.

bbe@1Kings:1:40 @And all the people came up after him, piping with pipes, and they were glad with great joy, so that the earth was shaking with the sound.

bbe@1Kings:1:41 @And it came to the ears of Adonijah and all the guests who were with him, when their meal was ended. And Joab, hearing the sound of the horn, said, What is the reason of this noise as if the town was worked up?

bbe@1Kings:1:42 @And while the words were on his lips, Jonathan, the son of Abiathar the priest, came; and Adonijah said, Come in; for you are a man of good faith and the news which you have for us will be good.

bbe@1Kings:1:44 @And he sent with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and they put him on the king's beast:

bbe@1Kings:1:45 @And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet put the holy oil on him and made him king in Gihon; and they came back from there with joy, and the town was all worked up. This is the noise which has come to your ears.

bbe@1Kings:1:47 @And the king's servants came to our lord King David, blessing him and saying, May God make the name of Solomon better than your name, and the seat of his authority greater than your seat; and the king was bent low in worship on his bed.

bbe@1Kings:1:48 @Then the king said, May the God of Israel be praised, who has given one of my seed to be king in my place this day and has let my eyes see it.

bbe@1Kings:1:50 @And Adonijah himself was full of fear because of Solomon; and he got up and went to the altar, and put his hands on its horns.

bbe@1Kings:1:51 @And they gave Solomon word of it, saying, See, Adonijah goes in such fear of King Solomon, that he has put his hands on the horns of the altar, saying, Let King Solomon first give me his oath that he will not put his servant to death with the sword.

bbe@1Kings:1:52 @And Solomon said, If he is seen to be a man of good faith, not a hair of him will be touched; but if any wrongdoing is seen in him, he is to be put to death.

bbe@1Kings:2:4 @So that the Lord may give effect to what he said of me, If your children give attention to their ways, living uprightly before me with all their heart and their soul, you will never be without a man to be king in Israel.

bbe@1Kings:2:5 @Now you have knowledge of what Joab, the son of Zeruiah, did to me, and to the two captains of the army of Israel, Abner, the son of Ner, and Amasa, the son of Jether, whom he put to death, taking payment for the blood of war in time of peace, and making the band of my clothing and the shoes on my feet red with the blood of one put to death without cause.

bbe@1Kings:2:6 @So be guided by your wisdom, and let not his white head go down to the underworld in peace.

bbe@1Kings:2:7 @But be good to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be guests at your table; for so they came to me when I went in flight from Absalom your brother.

bbe@1Kings:2:8 @Now you have with you Shimei, the son of Gera the Benjamite of Bahurim, who put a bitter curse on me on the day when I went to Mahanaim; but he came down to see me at Jordan, and I gave him my oath by the Lord, saying, I will not put you to death by the sword.

bbe@1Kings:2:9 @But do not let him be free from punishment, for you are a wise man; and it will be clear to you what you have to do with him; see that his white head goes down to the underworld in blood.

bbe@1Kings:2:10 @Then David went to rest with his fathers, and his body was put into the earth in the town of David.

bbe@1Kings:2:13 @Then Adonijah, the son of Haggith, came to Bath-sheba, the mother of Solomon. And she said, Come you in peace? And he said, Yes, in peace.

bbe@1Kings:2:15 @And he said, You saw how the kingdom was mine, and all Israel had the idea that I would be their king; but now the kingdom is turned about, and has become my brother's, for it was given to him by the Lord.

bbe@1Kings:2:17 @Then he said, Will you go to Solomon the king (for he will not say, No, to you) and put before him my request that he will give me Abishag the Shunammite for a wife?

bbe@1Kings:2:19 @So Bath-sheba went to King Solomon to have talk with him on Adonijah's account. And the king got up to come to her, and went down low to the earth before her; then he took his place on the king's seat and had a seat made ready for the king's mother and she took her place at his right hand.

bbe@1Kings:2:21 @And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah your brother for a wife.

bbe@1Kings:2:22 @Then King Solomon made answer and said to his mother, Why are you requesting me to give Abishag the Shunammite to Adonijah? Take the kingdom for him in addition, for he is my older brother, and Abiathar the priest and Joab, the son of Zeruiah, are on his side.

bbe@1Kings:2:23 @Then King Solomon took an oath by the Lord, saying, May God's punishment be on me if Adonijah does not give payment for these words with his life.

bbe@1Kings:2:26 @And to Abiathar the priest the king said, Go to Anathoth, to your fields; for death would be your right reward; but I will not put you to death now, because you took up the ark of the Lord God before David my father, and you were with him in all his troubles.

bbe@1Kings:2:31 @And the king said, Do as he has said and make an attack on him there, and put his body into the earth; so that you may take away from me and from my family the blood of one put to death by Joab without cause.

bbe@1Kings:2:32 @And the Lord will send back his blood on his head, because of the attack he made on two men more upright and better than himself, putting them to the sword without my father's knowledge; even Abner, the son of Ner, captain of the army of Israel, and Amasa, the son of Jether, captain of the army of Judah.

bbe@1Kings:2:45 @But a blessing will be on King Solomon, and the kingdom of David will keep its place before the Lord for ever.

bbe@1Kings:2:46 @So the king gave orders to Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada; and he went out and, falling on him, put him to death. And Solomon's authority over the kingdom was complete.

bbe@1Kings:3:4 @And the king went to Gibeon to make an offering there, because that was the chief high place: it was Solomon's way to make a thousand burned offerings on that altar.

bbe@1Kings:3:7 @And now, O Lord my God, you have made your servant king in the place of David my father; and I am only a young boy, with no knowledge of how to go out or come in.

bbe@1Kings:3:13 @And with this I have given you what you made no request for: wealth and honour, so that no king was ever your equal.

bbe@1Kings:3:15 @And Solomon, awakening, saw that it was a dream; then he came to Jerusalem, where he went before the ark of the agreement of the Lord, offering burned offerings and peace-offerings; and he made a feast for all his servants.

bbe@1Kings:3:18 @And three days after the birth of my child, this woman had a child: we were together, no other-person was with us in the house but we two only.

bbe@1Kings:3:19 @In the night, this woman, sleeping on her child, was the cause of its death.

bbe@1Kings:3:20 @And she got up in the middle of the night and took my son from my side while your servant was sleeping; and she took it in her arms and put her dead child in my arms.

bbe@1Kings:3:21 @And when I got up to give my child the breast, I saw that it was dead; but in the morning, looking at it with care, I saw that it was not my son.

bbe@1Kings:3:26 @Then the mother of the living child came forward, for her heart went out to her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the child; do not on any account put it to death. But the other woman said, It will not be mine or yours; let it be cut in two.

bbe@1Kings:3:27 @Then the king made answer and said, Give her the child, and do not put it to death; she is the mother of it.

bbe@1Kings:4:5 @Azariah, the son of Nathan, was over those in authority in the different divisions of the country; Zabud, the son of Nathan, was priest and the king's friend;

bbe@1Kings:4:13 @... the son of Geber in Ramoth-gilead; he had the towns of Jair, the son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead, and the country of Argob, which is in Bashan, sixty great towns with walls and locks of brass.

bbe@1Kings:4:19 @Geber, the son of Uri, in the land of Gilead, the country of Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan; and one overseer had authority over all the overseers who were in the land.

bbe@1Kings:4:20 @Judah and Israel were as great in number as the sand by the seaside, and they took their food and drink with joy in their hearts.

bbe@1Kings:4:23 @Ten fat oxen and twenty oxen from the fields, and a hundred sheep, in addition to harts and gazelles and roes and fat fowls.

bbe@1Kings:4:24 @For he had authority over all the country on this side of the River, from Tiphsah to Gaza, over all the kings on this side of the River; and he had peace round him on every side.

bbe@1Kings:4:31 @For he was wiser than all men, even than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman and Calcol and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and he had a great name among all the nations round about.

bbe@1Kings:5:5 @And so it is my purpose to make a house for the name of the Lord my God, as he said to David my father, Your son, whom I will make king in your place, will be the builder of a house for my name.

bbe@1Kings:5:6 @So now, will you have cedar-trees from Lebanon cut down for me, and my servants will be with your servants; and I will give you payment for your servants at whatever rate you say; for it is common knowledge that we have no such wood-cutters among us as the men of Zidon.

bbe@1Kings:5:9 @My men will take them down from Lebanon to the sea, where I will have them corded together to go by sea to whatever place you say, and I will have them cut up there so that you may take them away; as for payment, it will be enough if you give me food for my people.

bbe@1Kings:5:16 @In addition to the chiefs of the responsible men put by Solomon to oversee the work, three thousand and three hundred in authority over the workmen.

bbe@1Kings:6:2 @The house which Solomon made for the Lord was sixty cubits long, twenty cubits wide and thirty cubits high.

bbe@1Kings:6:3 @The covered way before the Temple of the house was twenty cubits long, as wide as the house, and ten cubits wide in front of the house.

bbe@1Kings:6:4 @And for the house he made windows, with network across.

bbe@1Kings:6:5 @And against the walls all round, and against the walls of the Temple and of the inmost room, he put up wings, with side rooms all round:

bbe@1Kings:6:6 @The lowest line of them being five cubits wide, the middle six cubits wide and the third seven cubits; for there was a space all round the outside walls of the house so that the boards supporting the rooms did not have to be fixed in the walls of the house.

bbe@1Kings:6:9 @So he put up the house and made it complete, roofing it with boards of cedar-wood.

bbe@1Kings:6:10 @And he put up the line of side rooms against the walls of the house, fifteen cubits high, resting against the house on boards of cedar-wood.

bbe@1Kings:6:15 @The walls of the house were covered inside with cedar-wood boards; from the floor to the roof of the house they were covered inside with wood; and the floor was covered with boards of cypress-wood.

bbe@1Kings:6:16 @And at the back of the house a further space of twenty cubits was shut in with boards of cedar-wood, for the inmost room.

bbe@1Kings:6:17 @And the house, that is, the Temple, in front of the holy place was forty cubits long.

bbe@1Kings:6:18 @(All the inside of the house was cedar-wood, ornamented with designs of buds and flowers; no stonework was to be seen inside.)

bbe@1Kings:6:20 @And the inmost room was twenty cubits square and twenty cubits high, plated over with clear gold, and he made an altar of cedar-wood, plating it with gold.

bbe@1Kings:6:21 @Solomon had all the inside of the house covered with gold, and he put chains of gold across in front of the inmost room, which itself was covered with gold.

bbe@1Kings:6:22 @Plates of gold were put all through the house till it was covered completely (and the altar in the inmost room was all covered with gold).

bbe@1Kings:6:23 @In the inmost room he made two winged beings of olive-wood, ten cubits high;

bbe@1Kings:6:24 @With outstretched wings five cubits wide; the distance from the edge of one wing to the edge of the other was ten cubits.

bbe@1Kings:6:25 @The two winged ones were ten cubits high, of the same size and form.

bbe@1Kings:6:26 @The two of them were ten cubits high.

bbe@1Kings:6:28 @These winged ones were plated over with gold.

bbe@1Kings:6:29 @And all the walls of the house inside and out were ornamented with forms of winged ones and palm-trees and open flowers.

bbe@1Kings:6:30 @And the floor of the house was covered with gold, inside and out.

bbe@1Kings:6:32 @On the olive-wood doors were cut designs of winged ones and palm-trees and open flowers, all of them, with the doors, plated with gold.

bbe@1Kings:6:34 @And two folding doors of cypress-wood, with two leaves.

bbe@1Kings:6:35 @These were ornamented with designs of winged ones and palm-trees and open flowers, plated over with gold.

bbe@1Kings:6:36 @And the inner space was walled with three lines of squared stones and a line of cedar-wood boards.

bbe@1Kings:6:37 @In the fourth year the base of the house was put in its place, in the month Ziv.

bbe@1Kings:6:38 @And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, the building of the house was complete in every detail, as it had been designed. So he was seven years building it.

bbe@1Kings:7:1 @Solomon was thirteen years building a house for himself till it was complete.

bbe@1Kings:7:2 @And he made the house of the Woods of Lebanon, which was a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high, resting on four lines of cedar-wood pillars with cedar-wood supports on the pillars.

bbe@1Kings:7:3 @And it was covered with cedar over the forty-five supports which were on the pillars, fifteen in a line.

bbe@1Kings:7:5 @And all the doors and windows had square frames, with the windows facing one another in three lines.

bbe@1Kings:7:6 @And he made a covered room of pillars, fifty cubits long and thirty cubits wide, and... with steps before it.

bbe@1Kings:7:7 @Then he made a covered room for his high seat when he gave decisions; this was the covered room of judging; it was covered with cedar-wood from floor to roof.

bbe@1Kings:7:8 @And the house for his living-place, the other open square in the covered room, was made in the same way. And then he made a house like it for Pharaoh's daughter, whom Solomon had taken as his wife.

bbe@1Kings:7:9 @All these buildings were made, inside and out, from base to crowning stone, and outside to the great walled square, of highly priced stone, cut to different sizes with cutting-instruments.

bbe@1Kings:7:10 @And the base was of great masses of highly priced stone, some ten cubits and some eight cubits square.

bbe@1Kings:7:12 @The great outer square all round was walled with three lines of squared stones and a line of cedar-wood boards, round about the open square inside the house of the Lord and the covered room of the king's house.

bbe@1Kings:7:15 @He it was who made the two brass pillars; the first pillar was eighteen cubits high, and a line of twelve cubits went round it; and the second was the same.

bbe@1Kings:7:16 @And he made the two crowns to be put on the tops of the pillars, of brass made soft in the fire; the crowns were five cubits high

bbe@1Kings:7:19 @The crowns on the tops of the pillars were ornamented with a design of flowers, and were four cubits across.

bbe@1Kings:7:23 @And he made a great metal water-vessel ten cubits across from edge to edge, five cubits high and thirty cubits round.

bbe@1Kings:7:24 @And under the edge of it, circling it all round for ten cubits, were two lines of flower buds, made together with it from liquid metal.

bbe@1Kings:7:25 @It was supported on twelve oxen, with their back parts turned to the middle of it, three of them facing to the north, three to the west, three to the south, and three to the east; the vessel was resting on top of them.

bbe@1Kings:7:26 @It was as thick as a man's open hand, and was curved like the edge of a cup, like the flower of a lily: it would take two thousand baths.

bbe@1Kings:7:27 @And he made ten wheeled bases of brass; every one four cubits long, four cubits wide, and three cubits high.

bbe@1Kings:7:31 @The mouth of it inside the angle-plate was one cubit across; it was round like a pillar, a cubit and a half across; it had designs cut on it; the sides were square, not round.

bbe@1Kings:7:32 @The four wheels were under the frames, and the rods on which the wheels were fixed were in the base; the wheels were a cubit and a half high.

bbe@1Kings:7:35 @And at the top of the base there was a round vessel, half a cubit high;

bbe@1Kings:7:36 @In the spaces of the flat sides and on the frames of them, he made designs of winged ones, lions, and palm-trees, with ornamented edges all round.

bbe@1Kings:7:38 @And he made ten brass washing-vessels, everyone taking forty baths, and measuring four cubits; one vessel was placed on every one of the ten bases.

bbe@1Kings:7:43 @And the ten bases, with the ten washing-vessels on them;

bbe@1Kings:7:44 @And the great water-vessel, with the twelve oxen under it;

bbe@1Kings:7:47 @The weight of all these vessels was not measured, because there was such a number of them; it was not possible to get the weight of the brass.

bbe@1Kings:8:4 @They took up the ark of the Lord, and the Tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels which were in the Tent; all these the priests and the Levites took up.

bbe@1Kings:8:5 @And King Solomon and all the men of Israel who had come together there, were with him before the ark, making offerings of sheep and oxen more than might be numbered.

bbe@1Kings:8:6 @And the priests took the ark of the agreement of the Lord and put it in its place in the inner room of the house, in the most holy place, under the wings of the winged ones.

bbe@1Kings:8:7 @For their wings were outstretched over the place where the ark was, covering the ark and its rods.

bbe@1Kings:8:9 @There was nothing in the ark but the two flat stones which Moses put there at Horeb, where the Lord made an agreement with the children of Israel when they came out of the land of Egypt.

bbe@1Kings:8:15 @And he said, Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, who himself gave his word to David my father, and with his strong hand has made his word come true, saying,

bbe@1Kings:8:17 @Now it was in the heart of David my father to put up a house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.

bbe@1Kings:8:19 @But you yourself will not be the builder of my house; but your son, the offspring of your body, he it is who will put up a house for my name.

bbe@1Kings:8:21 @In it I have made a place for the ark, in which is the agreement which the Lord made with our fathers, when he took them out of the land of Egypt.

bbe@1Kings:8:23 @Said, O Lord, the God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven or on the earth; keeping faith and mercy unchanging for your servants, while they go in your ways with all their hearts.

bbe@1Kings:8:24 @And you have kept the word which you gave to your servant David, my father; with your mouth you said it and with your hand you have made it come true this day.

bbe@1Kings:8:25 @So now, O Lord, the God of Israel, let your word to your servant David, my father, come true, when you said, You will never be without a man to take his place on the seat of the kingdom of Israel before me, if only your children give attention to their ways, walking before me as you have done.

bbe@1Kings:8:26 @So now, O God of Israel, it is my prayer that you will make your word come true which you said to your servant David, my father.

bbe@1Kings:8:27 @But is it truly possible that God may be housed on earth? see, heaven and the heaven of heavens are not wide enough to be your resting-place; how much less this house which I have made!

bbe@1Kings:8:35 @When heaven is shut up and there is no rain, because of their sin against you; if they make prayers with their faces turned to this place, honouring your name and turning away from their sin when you send trouble on them:

bbe@1Kings:8:36 @Then give ear in heaven, so that the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, may have forgiveness, when you make clear to them the good way in which they are to go; and send rain on your land which you have given to your people for their heritage.

bbe@1Kings:8:37 @If there is no food in the land, or if there is disease, or if the fruits of the earth are damaged through heat or water, locust or worm; if their towns are shut in by their attackers; whatever trouble, whatever disease there may be:

bbe@1Kings:8:43 @Give ear in heaven your living-place, and give him his desire, whatever it may be; so that all the peoples of the earth may have knowledge of your name, worshipping you as do your people Israel, and that they may see that this house which I have put up is truly named by your name.

bbe@1Kings:8:46 @If they do wrong against you, (for no man is without sin,) and you are angry with them and give them up into the power of those who are fighting against them, so that they take them away as prisoners into a strange land, far off or near;

bbe@1Kings:8:48 @And with all their heart and soul are turned again to you, in the land of those who took them prisoners, and make their prayer to you, turning their eyes to this land which you gave to their fathers, and to the town which you took for yourself, and the house which I made for your name:

bbe@1Kings:8:50 @Answering with forgiveness the people who have done wrong against you, and overlooking the evil which they have done against you; let those who made them prisoners be moved with pity for them, and have pity on them;

bbe@1Kings:8:51 @For they are your people and your heritage, which you took out of Egypt, out of the iron fireplace;

bbe@1Kings:8:53 @For you made them separate from all the peoples of the earth, to be your heritage, as you said by Moses your servant, when you took our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord God.

bbe@1Kings:8:55 @And, getting on his feet, he gave a blessing to all the men of Israel, saying with a loud voice,

bbe@1Kings:8:57 @Now may the Lord our God be with us as he was with our fathers; let him never go away from us or give us up;

bbe@1Kings:8:61 @Then let your hearts be without sin before the Lord our God, walking in his laws and keeping his orders as at this day.

bbe@1Kings:8:62 @Now the king, and all Israel with him, were making offerings before the Lord.

bbe@1Kings:8:65 @So Solomon and all Israel with him, a very great meeting, (for the people had come together from the way into Hamath to the river of Egypt,) kept the feast at that time before the Lord our God, for two weeks, even fourteen days.

bbe@1Kings:9:4 @As for you, if you will go on your way before me, as David your father did, uprightly and with a true heart, doing what I have given you orders to do, keeping my laws and my decisions;

bbe@1Kings:9:5 @Then I will make the seat of your rule over Israel certain for ever, as I gave my word to David your father, saying, You will never be without a man to be king in Israel.

bbe@1Kings:9:8 @And this house will become a mass of broken walls, and everyone who goes by will be overcome with wonder at it and make whistling sounds; and they will say, Why has the Lord done so to this land and to this house?

bbe@1Kings:9:12 @But when Hiram came from Tyre to see the towns which Solomon had given him, he was not pleased with them.

bbe@1Kings:9:16 @Pharaoh, king of Egypt, came and took Gezer, burning it down and putting to death the Canaanites living in the town, and he gave it for a bride-offering to his daughter, Solomon's wife....

bbe@1Kings:9:19 @And all the store-towns and the towns which Solomon had for his war-carriages and for his horsemen, and everything which it was his pleasure to put up in Jerusalem and in Lebanon and in all the land under his rule.

bbe@1Kings:9:20 @As for the rest of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not children of Israel;

bbe@1Kings:9:23 @These were the chiefs of the overseers of Solomon's work, five hundred and fifty, in authority over the people who did the work.

bbe@1Kings:9:25 @Three times in the year it was Solomon's way to give burned offerings and peace-offerings on the altar he had made to the Lord, causing his fire-offering to go up on the altar before the Lord.

bbe@1Kings:9:27 @Hiram sent his servants, who were experienced seamen, in the sea-force with Solomon's men.

bbe@1Kings:9:28 @And they came to Ophir, where they got four hundred and twenty talents of gold, and took it back to King Solomon.

bbe@1Kings:10:1 @Now the queen of Sheba, hearing great things of Solomon, came to put his wisdom to the test with hard questions.

bbe@1Kings:10:2 @And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels weighted down with spices, and stores of gold and jewels: and when she came to Solomon she had talk with him of everything in her mind.

bbe@1Kings:10:5 @And the food at his table, and all his servants seated there, and those who were waiting on him in their places, and their robes, and his wine-servants, and the burned offerings which he made in the house of the Lord, there was no more spirit in her.

bbe@1Kings:10:7 @But I had no faith in what was said about you, till I came and saw for myself; and now I see that it was not half the story; your wisdom and your wealth are much greater than they said.

bbe@1Kings:10:9 @May the Lord your God be praised, whose pleasure it was to put you on the seat of the kingdom of Israel; because the Lord's love for Israel is eternal, he has made you king, to be their judge in righteousness

bbe@1Kings:10:11 @And the sea-force of Hiram, in addition to gold from Ophir, came back with much sandal-wood and jewels.

bbe@1Kings:10:13 @And King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she made request for, in addition to what he gave her freely from the impulse of his heart. So she went back to her country, she and her servants.

bbe@1Kings:10:15 @In addition to what came to him from the business of the traders, and from all the kings of the Arabians, and from the rulers of the country.

bbe@1Kings:10:16 @And Solomon made two hundred body-covers of hammered gold, every one having six hundred shekels of gold in it.

bbe@1Kings:10:17 @And he made three hundred smaller body-covers of hammered gold, with three pounds of gold in every cover: and the king put them in the house of the Woods of Lebanon.

bbe@1Kings:10:18 @Then the king made a great ivory seat, plated with the best gold.

bbe@1Kings:10:19 @There were six steps going up to it, and the top of it was round at the back, there were arms on the two sides of the seat, and two lions by the side of the arms;

bbe@1Kings:10:20 @And twelve lions were placed on the one side and on the other side on the six steps: there was nothing like it in any kingdom.

bbe@1Kings:10:22 @For the king had Tarshish-ships at sea with the ships of Hiram; once every three years the Tarshish-ships came with gold and silver and ivory and monkeys and peacocks.

bbe@1Kings:10:25 @And everyone took with him an offering, vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and robes, and coats of metal, and spices, and horses, and beasts of transport, regularly year by year.

bbe@1Kings:10:26 @And Solomon got together war-carriages and horsemen; he had one thousand, four hundred carriages and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he kept, some in the carriage-towns and some with the king at Jerusalem.

bbe@1Kings:10:29 @A war-carriage might be got from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; they got them at the same rate for all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Aram.

bbe@1Kings:11:1 @Now a number of strange women were loved by Solomon, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites:

bbe@1Kings:11:2 @The nations of which the Lord had said to the children of Israel, You are not to take wives from them and they are not to take wives from you; or they will certainly make you go after their gods: to these Solomon was united in love.

bbe@1Kings:11:4 @For it came about that when Solomon was old, his heart was turned away to other gods by his wives; and his heart was no longer true to the Lord his God as the heart of his father David had been.

bbe@1Kings:11:5 @For Solomon went after Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Zidonians, and Milcom, the disgusting god of the Ammonites.

bbe@1Kings:11:6 @And Solomon did evil in the eyes of the Lord, not walking in the Lord's ways with all his heart as David his father did.

bbe@1Kings:11:8 @And so he did for all his strange wives, who made offerings with burning of perfumes to their gods.

bbe@1Kings:11:9 @And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had twice come to him in a vision;

bbe@1Kings:11:11 @So the Lord said to Solomon, Because you have done this, and have not kept my agreement and my laws, which I gave you, I will take the kingdom away from you by force and will give it to your servant

bbe@1Kings:11:12 @I will not do it in your life-time, because of your father David, but I will take it from your son.

bbe@1Kings:11:14 @So the Lord sent Hadad the Edomite to make trouble for Solomon: he was of the king's seed in Edom.

bbe@1Kings:11:17 @Hadad, being still a young boy, went in flight to Egypt, with certain Edomites, servants of his father;

bbe@1Kings:11:18 @And they went on from Midian and came to Paran; and, taking men from Paran with them, they came to Egypt, to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who gave him a house and gave orders for his food and gave him land.

bbe@1Kings:11:21 @Now when Hadad had news in Egypt that David had been put to rest with his fathers, and that Joab, the captain of the army, was dead, he said to Pharaoh, Send me back to my country.

bbe@1Kings:11:22 @But Pharaoh said to him, What have you been short of while you have been with me, that you are desiring to go back to your country? And he said, Nothing; but even so, send me back.

bbe@1Kings:11:26 @And there was Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite from Zeredah, a servant of Solomon, whose mother was Zeruah, a widow; and his hand was lifted up against the king.

bbe@1Kings:11:29 @Now at that time, when Jeroboam was going out of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite came across him on the road; now Ahijah had put on a new robe; and the two of them were by themselves in the open country.

bbe@1Kings:11:30 @And Ahijah took his new robe in his hands, parting it violently into twelve.

bbe@1Kings:11:33 @Because they are turned away from me to the worship of Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Zidonians, and Chemosh, the god of Moab, and Milcom, the god of the Ammonites; they have not been walking in my ways or doing what is right in my eyes or keeping my laws and my decisions as his father David did.

bbe@1Kings:11:35 @But I will take the kingdom from his son, and give it to you.

bbe@1Kings:11:38 @And if you give attention to the orders I give you, walking in my ways and doing what is right in my eyes and keeping my laws and my orders as David my servant did; then I will be with you, building up for you a safe house, as I did for David, and I will give Israel to you.

bbe@1Kings:11:43 @And Solomon went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the town of David his father: and Solomon went to rest with his fathers and Rehoboam his son became king in his place.

bbe@1Kings:12:2 @And, hearing of it, Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who was still in Egypt, where he had gone in flight from Solomon, and was living there, came back to his town Zeredah, in the hill-country of Ephraim;

bbe@1Kings:12:4 @Your father put a hard yoke on us: if you will make the conditions under which your father kept us down less cruel, and the weight of the yoke he put on us less hard, then we will be your servants.

bbe@1Kings:12:6 @Then King Rehoboam took the opinion of the old men who had been with Solomon his father when he was living, and said, In your opinion, what answer am I to give to this people?

bbe@1Kings:12:8 @But he gave no attention to the opinion of the old men, and went to the young men of his generation who were waiting before him:

bbe@1Kings:12:10 @And the young men of his generation said to him, This is the answer to give to the people who came to you saying, Your father put a hard yoke on us; will you make it less? say to them, My little finger is thicker than my father's body;

bbe@1Kings:12:11 @If my father put a hard yoke on you, I will make it harder: my father gave you punishment with whips, but I will give you blows with snakes.

bbe@1Kings:12:14 @But giving them the answer put forward by the young men, saying, My father made your yoke hard, but I will make it harder; my father gave you punishment with whips, but I will give it with snakes.

bbe@1Kings:12:15 @So the king did not give ear to the people; and this came about by the purpose of the Lord, so that what he had said by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam, son of Nebat, might be effected.

bbe@1Kings:12:16 @And when all Israel saw that the king would give no attention to them, the people in answer said to the king, What part have we in David? what is our heritage in the son of Jesse? to your tents, O Israel; now see to your people, David. So Israel went away to their tents.

bbe@1Kings:12:31 @And he made places for worship at the high places, and made priests, who were not Levites, from among all the people.

bbe@1Kings:13:3 @The same day he gave them a sign, saying, This is the sign which the Lord has given: See, the altar will be broken and the burned waste on it overturned.

bbe@1Kings:13:4 @Then the king, hearing the man of God crying out against the altar at Beth-el, put out his hand from the altar, saying, Take him prisoner. And his hand, stretched out against him, became dead, and he had no power of pulling it back.

bbe@1Kings:13:5 @And the altar was broken and the burned waste on it overturned; this was the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the Lord.

bbe@1Kings:13:6 @Then the king made answer and said to the man of God, Make a prayer now for the grace of the Lord your God, and for me, that my hand may be made well. And in answer to the prayer of the man of God, the king's hand was made well again, as it was before.

bbe@1Kings:13:7 @And the king said to the man of God, Come with me to my house for food and rest, and I will give you a reward.

bbe@1Kings:13:8 @But the man of God said to the king, Even if you gave me half of all you have, I would not go in with you, and I would not take food or a drink of water in this place;

bbe@1Kings:13:13 @So the prophet said to his sons, Make ready an ass for me. So they made an ass ready, and he got on it,

bbe@1Kings:13:14 @And went after the man of God, and came up with him while he was seated under an oak-tree. And he said to him, Are you the man of God who came from Judah? And he said, I am.

bbe@1Kings:13:15 @Then he said to him, Come back to the house with me and have a meal

bbe@1Kings:13:16 @But he said, I may not go back with you or go into your house; and I will not take food or a drink of water with you in this place;

bbe@1Kings:13:18 @Then he said to him, I am a prophet like you; and an angel said to me by the word of the Lord, Take him back with you and give him food and water. But he said false words to him.

bbe@1Kings:13:19 @So he went back with him, and had a meal in his house and a drink of water.

bbe@1Kings:13:22 @But have come back, and have taken food and water in this place where he said you were to take no food or water; your dead body will not be put to rest with your fathers.

bbe@1Kings:13:24 @And he went on his way; but on the road a lion came rushing at him and put him to death; and his dead body was stretched in the road with the ass by its side, and the lion was there by the body.

bbe@1Kings:13:25 @And some men, going by, saw the body stretched out in the road with the lion by its side; and they came and gave news of it in the town where the old prophet was living.

bbe@1Kings:13:26 @Then the prophet who had made him come back, hearing it, said, It is the man of God, who went against the word of the Lord; that is why the Lord has given him to the lion to be wounded to death, as the Lord said.

bbe@1Kings:13:28 @And he went and saw the dead body stretched out in the road with the ass and the lion by its side: the lion had not taken the body for its food or done any damage to the ass.

bbe@1Kings:13:29 @Then the prophet took up the body of the man of God and put it on the ass and took it back; and he came to the town to put the body to rest with weeping.

bbe@1Kings:13:30 @And he put the body in the resting-place made ready for himself, weeping and sorrowing over it, saying, O my brother!

bbe@1Kings:13:31 @And when he had put it to rest, he said to his sons, When I am dead, then you are to put my body into the earth with the body of this man of God, and put me by his bones so that my bones may be kept safe with his bones.

bbe@1Kings:13:33 @After this Jeroboam, not turning back from his evil ways, still made priests for his altars from among all the people; he made a priest of anyone desiring it, so that there might be priests of the high places.

bbe@1Kings:13:34 @And this became a sin in the family of Jeroboam, causing it to be cut off and sent to destruction from the face of the earth.

bbe@1Kings:14:3 @And take with you ten cakes of bread and dry cakes and a pot of honey, and go to him: he will give you word of what is to become of the child.

bbe@1Kings:14:6 @Then Ahijah, hearing the sound of her footsteps coming in at the door, said, Come in, O wife of Jeroboam; why do you make yourself seem like another? for I am sent to you with bitter news.

bbe@1Kings:14:8 @And took the kingdom away by force from the seed of David and gave it to you, you have not been like my servant David, who kept my orders, and was true to me with all his heart, doing only what was right in my eyes.

bbe@1Kings:14:10 @So I will send evil on the line of Jeroboam, cutting off from his family every male child, those who are shut up and those who go free in Israel; the family of Jeroboam will be brushed away like a man brushing away waste till it is all gone.

bbe@1Kings:14:11 @Those of the family of Jeroboam who come to death in the town, will become food for the dogs; and those on whom death comes in the open country, will be food for the birds of the air; for the Lord has said it.

bbe@1Kings:14:15 @And even now the hand of the Lord has come down on Israel, shaking it like a river-grass in the water; and, uprooting Israel from this good land, which he gave to their fathers, he will send them this way and that on the other side of the River; because they have made for themselves images, moving the Lord to wrath.

bbe@1Kings:14:20 @And Jeroboam was king for twenty-two years, and was put to rest with his fathers, and Nadab his son became king in his place.

bbe@1Kings:14:21 @And Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, was king in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king, and he was king for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the town which the Lord had made his out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there; his mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonite woman.

bbe@1Kings:14:28 @And whenever the king went into the house of the Lord, the armed men went with him taking the body-covers, and then took them back to their room.

bbe@1Kings:14:31 @And Rehoboam went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth with his fathers in the town of David; his mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonite woman. And Abijam his son became king in his place.

bbe@1Kings:15:5 @Because David did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, and never in all his life went against his orders, but only in the question of Uriah the Hittite.

bbe@1Kings:15:8 @Then Abijam went to rest with his fathers, and they put him into the earth in the town of David: and Asa his son became king in his place.

bbe@1Kings:15:19 @Let there be an agreement between me and you as there was between my father and your father: see, I have sent you an offering of silver and gold; go and put an end to your agreement with Baasha, king of Israel, so that he may give up attacking me

bbe@1Kings:15:21 @And Baasha, hearing of it, put a stop to the building of Ramah, and was living in Tirzah.

bbe@1Kings:15:22 @Then King Asa got all Judah together, making every man come; and they took away the stones and the wood with which Baasha was building Ramah, and King Asa made use of them for building Geba in the land of Benjamin, and Mizpah.

bbe@1Kings:15:24 @So Asa went to rest with his fathers and was put into the earth in the town of David his father: and Jehoshaphat his son became king in his place.

bbe@1Kings:15:29 @And straight away when he became king, he sent destruction on all the offspring of Jeroboam; there was not one living person of all the family of Jeroboam whom he did not put to death, so the word of the Lord, which he said by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite, came about;

bbe@1Kings:16:6 @And Baasha went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth at Tirzah; and Elah his son became king in his place.

bbe@1Kings:16:7 @And the Lord sent his word against Baasha and his family by the mouth of the prophet Jehu, the son of Hanani, because of all the evil he did in the eyes of the Lord, moving him to wrath by the work of his hands, because he was like the family of Jeroboam, and because he put it to death.

bbe@1Kings:16:17 @Then Omri went up from Gibbethon, with all the army of Israel, and they made an attack on Tirzah, shutting in the town on every side.

bbe@1Kings:16:24 @He got the hill Samaria from Shemer for the price of two talents of silver, and he made a town there, building it on the hill and naming it Samaria, after Shemer the owner of the hill.

bbe@1Kings:16:28 @So Omri went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in Samaria; and Ahab his son became king in his place.

bbe@1Kings:16:34 @In his days Hiel made Jericho; he put its base in position at the price of Abiram, his oldest son, and he put its doors in place at the price of his youngest son Segub; even as the Lord had said by Joshua, the son of Nun.

bbe@1Kings:17:1 @And Elijah the Tishbite, of Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, By the living Lord, the God of Israel, whose servant I am, there will be no dew or rain in these years, but only at my word.

bbe@1Kings:17:3 @Go from here in the direction of the east, and keep yourself in a secret place by the stream Cherith, east of Jordan.

bbe@1Kings:17:5 @So he went and did as the Lord said, living by the stream Cherith, east of Jordan.

bbe@1Kings:17:10 @So he got up and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the door of the town, he saw a widow woman getting sticks together; and crying out to her he said, Will you give me a little water in a vessel for my drink?

bbe@1Kings:17:11 @And when she was going to get it, he said to her, And get me with it a small bit of bread.

bbe@1Kings:17:12 @Then she said, By the life of the Lord your God, I have nothing but a little meal in my store, and a drop of oil in the bottle; and now I am getting two sticks together so that I may go in and make it ready for me and my son, so that we may have a meal before our death.

bbe@1Kings:17:13 @And Elijah said to her, Have no fear; go and do as you have said, but first make me a little cake of it and come and give it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son.

bbe@1Kings:17:14 @For this is the word of the Lord, the God of Israel: The store of meal will not come to an end, and the bottle will never be without oil, till the day when the Lord sends rain on the earth.

bbe@1Kings:17:16 @The store of meal did not come to an end, and the bottle was never without oil, as the Lord had said by the mouth of Elijah.

bbe@1Kings:17:18 @And she said to Elijah, What have I to do with you, O man of God? have you come to put God in mind of my sin, and to put my son to death?

bbe@1Kings:17:22 @And the Lord gave ear to the voice of Elijah, and the child's spirit came into him again, and he came back to life.

bbe@1Kings:18:6 @So they went through all the country, covering it between them; Ahab went in one direction by himself, and Obadiah went in another by himself.

bbe@1Kings:18:7 @And while Obadiah was on his way, he came face to face with Elijah; and seeing who it was, he went down on his face and said, Is it you, my lord Elijah?

bbe@1Kings:18:8 @And Elijah in answer said, It is I; now go and say to your lord, Elijah is here.

bbe@1Kings:18:12 @And straight away, when I have gone from you, the spirit of the Lord will take you away, I have no idea where, so that when I come and give word to Ahab, and he sees you not, he will put me to death: though I, your servant, have been a worshipper of the Lord from my earliest years.

bbe@1Kings:18:17 @And when he saw Elijah, Ahab said to him, Is it you, you troubler of Israel?

bbe@1Kings:18:19 @Now send, and get Israel together before me at Mount Carmel, with the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal who get their food at Jezebel's table.

bbe@1Kings:18:23 @Now, let them give us two oxen; and let them take one for themselves, and have it cut up, and put it on the wood, but put no fire under it; I will get the other ox ready, and put it on the wood, and put no fire under it.

bbe@1Kings:18:24 @And do you make prayers to your god, and I will make a prayer to the Lord: and it will be clear that the one who gives an answer by fire is God. And all the people in answer said, It is well said.

bbe@1Kings:18:25 @Then Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, Take one ox for yourselves and get it ready first, for there are more of you; and make your prayers to your god, but put no fire under.

bbe@1Kings:18:26 @So they took the ox which was given them, and made it ready, crying out to Baal from morning till the middle of the day, and saying, O Baal, give ear to us. But there was no voice and no answer. And they were jumping up and down before the altar they had made.

bbe@1Kings:18:28 @So they gave loud cries, cutting themselves with knives and swords, as was their way, till the blood came streaming out all over them.

bbe@1Kings:18:29 @And from the middle of the day they went on with their prayers till the time of the offering; but there was no voice, or any answer, or any who gave attention to them.

bbe@1Kings:18:32 @And with the stones he made an altar to the name of the Lord; and he made a deep drain all round the altar, great enough to take two measures of seed.

bbe@1Kings:18:33 @And he put the wood in order, and, cutting up the ox, put it on the wood. Then he said, Get four vessels full of water and put it on the burned offering and on the wood. And he said, Do it a second time, and they did it a second time;

bbe@1Kings:18:34 @And he said, Do it a third time, and they did it a third time.

bbe@1Kings:18:36 @Then at the time of the offering, Elijah the prophet came near and said, O Lord, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, let it be seen this day that you are God in Israel, and that I am your servant, and that I have done all these things by your order.

bbe@1Kings:18:39 @And when the people saw it, they all went down on their faces, and said, The Lord, he is God, the Lord, he is God.

bbe@1Kings:18:45 @And after a very little time, the heaven became black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab went in his carriage to Jezreel.

bbe@1Kings:19:1 @Ahab gave Jezebel news of all Elijah had done, and how he had put all the prophets to death with the sword.

bbe@1Kings:19:4 @While he himself went a day's journey into the waste land, and took a seat under a broom-plant, desiring for himself only death; for he said, It is enough: now, O Lord, take away my life, for I am no better than my fathers.

bbe@1Kings:19:10 @And he said, I have been burning for the honour of the Lord, the God of armies; for the children of Israel have not kept your agreement; they have made destruction of your altars, and have put your prophets to death with the sword: till I, even I, am the only one living; and now they are attempting to take away my life

bbe@1Kings:19:13 @And Elijah, hearing it, went out, covering his face with his robe, and took his place in the opening of the hole. And there a voice came to him saying, What are you doing here, Elijah?

bbe@1Kings:19:14 @And he said, I have been burning for the honour of the Lord, the God of armies; for the children of Israel have not kept your agreement; they have had your altars broken down, and have put your prophets to death with the sword: till I, even I, am the only one living; and now they are attempting to take away my life.

bbe@1Kings:19:17 @And it will come about that the man who gets away safe from the sword of Hazael, Jehu will put to death; and whoever gets away safe from the sword of Jehu, Elisha will put to death.

bbe@1Kings:19:19 @So he went away from there and came across Elisha, the son of Shaphat, ploughing with twelve yoke of oxen, he himself walking with the twelfth; and Elijah went up to him and put his robe on him.

bbe@1Kings:19:21 @And he went back, and took the oxen and put them to death, and cooking their flesh with the yokes of the oxen, he gave the people a feast. Then he got up and went after Elijah and became his servant.

bbe@1Kings:20:1 @Now Ben-hadad, king of Aram, got all his army together, and thirty-two kings with him, and horses and carriages of war; he went up and made war on Samaria, shutting it in.

bbe@1Kings:20:4 @And the king of Israel sent him an answer saying, As you say, my lord king, I am yours with all I have.

bbe@1Kings:20:9 @So he said to the representatives of Ben-hadad, Say to my lord the king, All the orders you sent the first time I will do; but this thing I may not do. And the representatives went back with this answer.

bbe@1Kings:20:12 @Now when this answer was given to Ben-hadad, he was drinking with the kings in the tents, and he said to his men, Take up your positions

bbe@1Kings:20:13 @Then a prophet came up to Ahab, king of Israel, and said, The Lord says, Have you seen all this great army? See, I will give it into your hands today, and you will see that I am the Lord.

bbe@1Kings:20:16 @And in the middle of the day they went out. But Ben-hadad was drinking in the tents with the thirty-two kings who were helping him.

bbe@1Kings:20:19 @So the servants of the chiefs of the divisions of the land went out of the town, with the army coming after them.

bbe@1Kings:20:20 @And every one of them put his man to death, and the Aramaeans went in flight with Israel after them; and Ben-hadad, king of Aram, got away safely on a horse with his horsemen.

bbe@1Kings:20:24 @This is what you have to do: take away the kings from their positions, and put captains in their places;

bbe@1Kings:20:27 @And the children of Israel got themselves together, and food was made ready and they went against them; the tents of the children of Israel were like two little flocks of goats before them, but all the country was full of the Aramaeans.

bbe@1Kings:20:29 @Now the two armies kept their positions facing one another for seven days. And on the seventh day the fight was started; and the children of Israel put to the sword a hundred thousand Aramaean footmen in one day.

bbe@1Kings:20:31 @Then his servants said to him, It is said that the kings of Israel are full of mercy: let us then put on haircloth, and cords on our heads, and go to the king of Israel; it may be that he will give you your life.

bbe@1Kings:20:33 @Now the men took it as a sign, and quickly took up his words; and they said, Ben-hadad is your brother. Then he said, Go and get him. So Ben-hadad came out to him and he made him get up into his carriage.

bbe@1Kings:20:34 @And Ben-hadad said to him, The towns my father took from your father I will give back; and you may make streets for yourself in Damascus as my father did in Samaria. And as for me, at the price of this agreement you will let me go. So he made an agreement with him and let him go.

bbe@1Kings:20:38 @So the prophet went away, and pulling his head-band over his eyes to keep his face covered, took his place by the road waiting for the king.

bbe@1Kings:20:39 @And when the king went by, crying out to him he said, Your servant went out into the fight; and a man came out to me with another man and said, Keep this man: if by any chance he gets away, your life will be the price of his life, or you will have to give a talent of silver in payment.

bbe@1Kings:20:43 @Then the king of Israel went back to his house, bitter and angry, and came to Samaria.

bbe@1Kings:21:1 @Now Naboth the Jezreelite had a vine-garden in Jezreel, near the house of Ahab, king of Samaria.

bbe@1Kings:21:2 @And Ahab said to Naboth, Give me your vine-garden so that I may have it for a garden of sweet plants, for it is near my house; and let me give you a better vine-garden in exchange, or, if it seems good to you, let me give you its value in money.

bbe@1Kings:21:3 @But Naboth said to Ahab, By the Lord, far be it from me to give you the heritage of my fathers.

bbe@1Kings:21:4 @So Ahab came into his house bitter and angry because Naboth the Jezreelite had said to him, I will not give you the heritage of my fathers. And stretching himself on the bed with his face turned away, he would take no food.

bbe@1Kings:21:5 @But Jezebel, his wife, came to him and said, Why is your spirit so bitter that you have no desire for food?

bbe@1Kings:21:6 @And he said to her, Because I was talking to Naboth the Jezreelite, and I said to him, Let me have your vine-garden for a price, or, if it is pleasing to you, I will give you another vine-garden for it: and he said, I will not give you my vine-garden.

bbe@1Kings:21:7 @Then Jezebel, his wife, said, Are you now the ruler of Israel? Get up, take food, and let your heart be glad; I will give you the vine-garden of Naboth the Jezreelite.

bbe@1Kings:21:8 @So she sent a letter in Ahab's name, stamped with his stamp, to the responsible men and the chiefs who were in authority with Naboth.

bbe@1Kings:21:10 @And get two good-for-nothing persons to come before him and give witness that he has been cursing God and the king. Then take him out and have him stoned to death.

bbe@1Kings:21:11 @So the responsible men and the chiefs who were in authority in his town, did as Jezebel had said in the letter she sent them.

bbe@1Kings:21:13 @And the two good-for-nothing persons came in and took their seats before him and gave witness against Naboth, in front of the people, saying, Naboth has been cursing God and the king. Then they took him outside the town and had him stoned to death.

bbe@1Kings:21:15 @Then Jezebel, hearing that Naboth had been stoned and was dead, said to Ahab, Get up and take as your heritage the vine-garden of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he would not give you for money, for Naboth is no longer living but is dead.

bbe@1Kings:21:16 @So Ahab, hearing that Naboth was dead, went down to the vine-garden of Naboth the Jezreelite to take it as his heritage.

bbe@1Kings:21:17 @And the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

bbe@1Kings:21:18 @Go down to Ahab, king of Israel, in Samaria; see, he is in the vine-garden of Naboth the Jezreelite, where he has gone to take it as his heritage.

bbe@1Kings:21:19 @Say to him, The Lord says, Have you put a man to death and taken his heritage? Then say to him, The Lord says, In the place where dogs have been drinking the blood of Naboth, there will your blood become the drink of dogs.

bbe@1Kings:21:20 @And Ahab said to Elijah, Have you come face to face with me, O my hater? And he said, I have come to you because you have given yourself up to do evil in the eyes of the Lord.

bbe@1Kings:21:23 @And of Jezebel the Lord said, Jezebel will become food for dogs in the heritage of Jezreel.

bbe@1Kings:21:25 @(There was no one like Ahab, who gave himself up to do evil in the eyes of the Lord, moved to it by Jezebel his wife.

bbe@1Kings:21:26 @He did a very disgusting thing in going after false gods, doing all the things the Amorites did, whom the Lord sent out before the children of Israel.)

bbe@1Kings:21:27 @Hearing these words, Ahab, in great grief, put haircloth on his flesh and went without food, sleeping in haircloth, and going about quietly.

bbe@1Kings:21:28 @Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

bbe@1Kings:22:2 @And it came about in the third year, that Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, came down to the king of Israel.

bbe@1Kings:22:3 @And the king of Israel said to his servants, Do you not see that Ramoth-gilead is ours? and we are doing nothing to get it back from the hands of the king of Aram.

bbe@1Kings:22:4 @And he said to Jehoshaphat, Will you go with me to Ramoth-gilead to make war? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as you are: my people as your people, my horses as your horses.

bbe@1Kings:22:6 @So the king of Israel got all the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them, Am I to go to Ramoth-gilead to make war or not? And they said, Go up: for the Lord will give it into the hands of the king.

bbe@1Kings:22:9 @Then the king of Israel sent for one of his unsexed servants and said, Go quickly and come back with Micaiah, the son of Imlah.

bbe@1Kings:22:10 @Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, were seated on their seats of authority, dressed in their robes, by the doorway into Samaria; and all the prophets were acting as prophets before them.

bbe@1Kings:22:11 @And Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, made himself horns of iron and said, The Lord says, Pushing back the Aramaeans with these, you will put an end to them completely.

bbe@1Kings:22:12 @And all the prophets said the same thing, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and it will go well for you, for the Lord will give it into the hands of the king.

bbe@1Kings:22:13 @Now the servant who had gone to get Micaiah said to him, See now, all the prophets with one voice are saying good things to the king; so let your words be like theirs and say good things.

bbe@1Kings:22:15 @When he came to the king, the king said to him, Micaiah, are we to go to Ramoth-gilead to make war or not? And in answer he said, Go up, and it will go well for you; and the Lord will give it into the hands of the king.

bbe@1Kings:22:17 @Then he said, I saw all Israel wandering on the mountains like sheep without a keeper; and the Lord said, These have no master: let them go back, every man to his house in peace.

bbe@1Kings:22:19 @And he said, Give ear now to the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord seated on his seat of power, with all the army of heaven in their places round him at his right hand and at his left.

bbe@1Kings:22:21 @Then a spirit came forward and took his place before the Lord and said, I will get him to do it by a trick.

bbe@1Kings:22:22 @And the Lord said, How? And he said, I will go out and be a spirit of deceit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Your trick will have its effect on him: go out and do so.

bbe@1Kings:22:23 @And now, see, the Lord has put a spirit of deceit in the mouth of all these your prophets; and the Lord has said evil against you.

bbe@1Kings:22:24 @Then Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, came near and gave Micaiah a blow on the side of the face, saying, Where is the spirit of the Lord whose word is in you?

bbe@1Kings:22:27 @And say, It is the king's order that this man is to be put in prison and given prison food till I come again in peace.

bbe@1Kings:22:34 @And a certain man sent an arrow from his bow without thought of its direction, and gave the king of Israel a wound where his breastplate was joined to his clothing; so he said to the driver of his war-carriage, Go to one side and take me away out of the army, for I am badly wounded.

bbe@1Kings:22:35 @But the fight became more violent while the day went on; and the king was supported in his war-carriage facing the Aramaeans, and the floor of the carriage was covered with the blood from his wound, and by evening he was dead.

bbe@1Kings:22:40 @So Ahab was put to rest with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son became king in his place.

bbe@1Kings:22:43 @He did as Asa his father had done, not turning away from it, but doing what was right in the eyes of the Lord;

bbe@1Kings:22:45 @And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.

bbe@1Kings:22:49 @And the representative of King Jehoshaphat made a Tarshish-ship to go to Ophir for gold, but it did not go, because it was broken at Ezion-geber.

bbe@1Kings:22:50 @Then Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, said to Jehoshaphat, Let my men go with yours in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not let them.

bbe@1Kings:22:51 @Then Jehoshaphat went to rest with his fathers, and his body was put into the earth in the town of David his father; and Jehoram his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Kings:1:1 @After the death of Ahab, Moab made itself free from the authority of Israel.

bbe@2Kings:1:3 @But the angel of the Lord said to Elijah the Tishbite, Go now, and, meeting the men sent by the king of Samaria, say to them, Is it because there is no God in Israel, that you are going to get directions from Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron?

bbe@2Kings:1:6 @And they said to him, On our way we had a meeting with a man who said, Go back to the king who sent you and say to him, The Lord says, Is it because there is no God in Israel that you send to put a question to Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? For this reason, you will not come down from the bed on to which you have gone up, but death will certainly come to you.

bbe@2Kings:1:7 @And he said to them, What sort of a man was it who came and said these words to you?

bbe@2Kings:1:8 @And they said in answer, He was a man clothed in a coat of hair, with a leather band about his body. Then he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.

bbe@2Kings:1:9 @Then the king sent to him a captain of fifty with his fifty men; and he went up to him where he was seated on the top of a hill, and said to him, O man of God, the king has said, Come down.

bbe@2Kings:1:11 @Then the king sent another captain of fifty with his fifty men; and he said to Elijah, O man of God, the king says, Come down quickly.

bbe@2Kings:1:13 @Then he sent a third captain of fifty with his fifty men; and the third captain of fifty went up, and falling on his knees before Elijah, requesting mercy of him, said, O man of God, let my life and the life of these your fifty servants be of value to you.

bbe@2Kings:1:15 @Then the angel of the Lord said to Elijah, Go down with him; have no fear of him. So he got up and went down with him to the king.

bbe@2Kings:2:1 @Now when the Lord was about to take Elijah up to heaven in a great wind, Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.

bbe@2Kings:2:3 @And at Beth-el the sons of the prophets came out to Elisha and said, Has it been made clear to you that the Lord is going to take away your master from over you today? And he said, Yes, I have knowledge of it: say no more.

bbe@2Kings:2:5 @And at Jericho the sons of the prophets came up to Elisha and said to him, Has it been made clear to you that the Lord is going to take away your master from over you today? And he said in answer, Yes, I have knowledge of it: say no more.

bbe@2Kings:2:8 @Then Elijah took off his robe, and, rolling it up, gave the water a blow with it, and the waters were parted, flowing back this way and that, so that they went over on dry land.

bbe@2Kings:2:9 @And when they had come to the other side, Elijah said to Elisha, Say what you would have me do for you before I am taken from you. And Elisha said, Be pleased to let a special measure of your spirit be on me.

bbe@2Kings:2:10 @And he said, You have made a hard request: still, if you see me when I am taken from you, you will get your desire; but if not, it will not be so.

bbe@2Kings:2:12 @And when Elisha saw it he gave a cry, My father, my father, the carriages of Israel and its horsemen! And he saw him no longer; and he was full of grief.

bbe@2Kings:2:14 @And he took Elijah's robe, which had been dropped from him, and giving the water a blow with it, said, Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah? and at his blow the waters were parted this way and that; and Elisha went over.

bbe@2Kings:2:15 @And when the sons of the prophets who were facing him at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah is resting on Elisha. And they came out to him, and went down on the earth before him.

bbe@2Kings:2:16 @And they said, Your servants have with us here fifty strong men; be pleased to let them go in search of Elijah; for it may be that the spirit of the Lord has taken him up and put him down on some mountain or in some valley. But he said, Do not send them.

bbe@2Kings:2:17 @But when they kept on requesting him, he was shamed and said, Send, then. So they sent fifty men; but after searching for three days, they came back without having seen him.

bbe@2Kings:2:19 @Now the men of the town said to Elisha, You see that the position of this town is good; but the water is bad, causing the young of the cattle to come to birth dead.

bbe@2Kings:2:20 @So he said, Get me a new vessel, and put salt in it; and they took it to him.

bbe@2Kings:2:21 @Then he went out to the spring from which the water came, and put salt in it, and said, The Lord says, Now I have made this water sweet; no longer will it be death-giving or unfertile.

bbe@2Kings:2:23 @Then from there he went up to Beth-el; and on his way, some little boys came out from the town and made sport of him, crying, Go up, old no-hair! go up, old no-hair!

bbe@2Kings:3:5 @But when Ahab was dead, the king of Moab got free from the authority of the king of Israel.

bbe@2Kings:3:7 @And he sent to Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab has got free from my authority: will you go with me to make war on Moab? And he said, I will go with you: I am as you are, my people as your people, and my horses as your horses.

bbe@2Kings:3:9 @So the king of Israel went with the king of Judah and the king of Edom by a roundabout way for seven days: and there was no water for the army or for the beasts they had with them.

bbe@2Kings:3:12 @And Jehoshaphat said, The word of the Lord is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.

bbe@2Kings:3:13 @But Elisha said to the king of Israel, What have I to do with you? go to the prophets of your father and your mother. And the king of Israel said, No; for the Lord has got these three kings together to give them up into the hands of Moab.

bbe@2Kings:3:14 @Then Elisha said, By the life of the Lord of armies whose servant I am, if it was not for the respect I have for Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, I would not give a look at you, or see you.

bbe@2Kings:3:15 @But now, get me a player of music, and it will come about that while the man is playing, the hand of the Lord will come on me and I will give you the word of the Lord: and they got a player of music, and while the man was playing, the hand of the Lord was on him.

bbe@2Kings:3:18 @And this will be only a small thing to the Lord: in addition he will give the Moabites into your hands.

bbe@2Kings:3:19 @And you are to put every walled town to destruction, cutting down every good tree, and stopping up every water-spring, and making all the good land rough with stones.

bbe@2Kings:3:23 @Then they said, This is blood: it is clear that destruction has come on the kings; they have been fighting one another: now come, Moab, let us take their goods.

bbe@2Kings:3:24 @But when they came to the tents of Israel, the Israelites came out and made a violent attack on the Moabites, so that they went in flight before them; and they went forward still attacking them;

bbe@2Kings:3:25 @Pulling down the towns, covering every good field with stones, stopping up all the water-springs, and cutting down all the good trees; they went on driving Moab before them till only in Kir-hareseth were there any Moabites; and the fighting-men went round the town raining stones on it.

bbe@2Kings:3:26 @And when the king of Moab saw that the fight was going against him, he took with him seven hundred men armed with swords, with the idea of forcing a way through to the king of Aram, but they were not able to do so.

bbe@2Kings:4:1 @Now a certain woman, the wife of one of the sons of the prophets, came crying to Elisha and said, Your servant my husband is dead; and to your knowledge he was a worshipper of the Lord; but now, the creditor has come to take my two children as servants in payment of his debt.

bbe@2Kings:4:8 @Now there came a day when Elisha went to Shunem, and there was a woman of high position living there, who made him come in and have a meal with her. And after that, every time he went by, he went into her house for a meal.

bbe@2Kings:4:10 @So let us make a little room on the wall; and put a bed there for him, and a table and a seat and a light; so that when he comes to us, he will be able to go in there

bbe@2Kings:4:11 @Now one day, when he had gone there, he went into the little room and took his rest there.

bbe@2Kings:4:12 @And he said to Gehazi, his servant, Send for this Shunammite. So in answer to his voice she came before him.

bbe@2Kings:4:17 @Then the woman became with child and gave birth to a son at the time named, in the year after, as Elisha had said to her.

bbe@2Kings:4:23 @And he said, Why are you going to him today? it is not a new moon or a Sabbath. But she said, It is well.

bbe@2Kings:4:24 @Then she made the ass ready and said to her servant, Keep driving on; do not make a stop without orders from me.

bbe@2Kings:4:25 @So she went, and came to Mount Carmel, to the man of God. And when the man of God saw her coming in his direction, he said to Gehazi, his servant, See, there is the Shunammite;

bbe@2Kings:4:27 @And when she came to where the man of God was on the hill, she put her hands round his feet; and Gehazi came near with the purpose of pushing her away; but the man of God said, Let her be, for her soul is bitter in her; and the Lord has kept it secret from me, and has not given me word of it.

bbe@2Kings:4:30 @But the mother of the child said, As the Lord is living and as your soul is living, I will not go back without you. So he got up and went with her.

bbe@2Kings:4:36 @And he gave orders to Gehazi, and said, Send for the Shunammite. And she came in answer to his voice. And he said, Take up your son.

bbe@2Kings:4:38 @And Elisha went back to Gilgal, now there was very little food in the land; and the sons of the prophets were seated before him. And he said to his servant, Put the great pot on the fire, and make soup for the sons of the prophets.

bbe@2Kings:4:39 @And one went out into the field to get green plants and saw a vine of the field, and pulling off the fruit of it till the fold of his robe was full, he came back and put the fruit, cut up small, into the pot of soup, having no idea what it was.

bbe@2Kings:4:41 @But he said, Get some meal. And he put it into the pot, and said, Now give it to the people so that they may have food. And there was nothing bad in the pot.

bbe@2Kings:4:42 @Now a man came from Baal-shalishah with an offering of first-fruits for the man of God, twenty barley cakes and garden fruit in his bag. And he said, Give these to the people for food.

bbe@2Kings:4:43 @But his servant said, How am I to put this before a hundred men? But he said, Give it to the people for food; for the Lord says, There will be food for them and some over.

bbe@2Kings:4:44 @So he put it before them, and they had a meal and there was more than enough, as the Lord had said.

bbe@2Kings:5:1 @Now Naaman, chief of the army of the king of Aram, was a man of high position with his master, and greatly respected, because by him the Lord had given salvation to Aram; but he was a leper.

bbe@2Kings:5:2 @Now the Aramaeans had gone out in bands, and taken prisoner from Israel a little girl, who became servant to Naaman's wife.

bbe@2Kings:5:5 @So the king of Aram said, Go then; and I will send a letter to the king of Israel. And he went, taking with him ten talents of silver and six thousand shekels of gold, and ten changes of clothing.

bbe@2Kings:5:7 @But the king of Israel, after reading the letter, was greatly troubled and said, Am I God, to give death and life? why does this man send a leper to me to be made well? is it not clear that he is looking for a cause of war?

bbe@2Kings:5:9 @So Naaman, with all his horses and his carriages, came to the door of Elisha's house.

bbe@2Kings:5:10 @And Elisha sent a servant to him, saying, Go to Jordan, and after washing seven times in its waters your flesh will be well again and you will be clean.

bbe@2Kings:5:11 @But Naaman was angry and went away and said, I had the idea that he would come out to see such an important person as I am, and make prayer to the Lord his God, and with a wave of his hand over the place make the leper well.

bbe@2Kings:5:13 @Then his servants came to him and said, If the prophet had given you orders to do some great thing, would you not have done it? how much more then, when he says to you, Be washed and become clean?

bbe@2Kings:5:14 @Then he went down seven times into the waters of Jordan, as the man of God had said; and his flesh became like the flesh of a little child again, and he was clean.

bbe@2Kings:5:15 @Then he went back to the man of God, with all his train, and, taking his place before him, said, Now I am certain that there is no God in all the earth, but only in Israel: now then, take an offering from me.

bbe@2Kings:5:16 @But he said, By the life of the Lord whose servant I am, I will take nothing from you. And he did his best to make him take it but he would not.

bbe@2Kings:5:23 @And Naaman said, Be good enough to take two talents. And forcing him to take them, he put two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of clothing, and gave them to his two servants to take before him.

bbe@2Kings:5:26 @And he said to him, Did not my heart go with you, when the man got down from his carriage and went back to you? Is this a time for getting money, and clothing, and olive-gardens and vine-gardens, and sheep and oxen, and men-servants and women-servants?

bbe@2Kings:5:27 @Because of what you have done, the disease of Naaman the leper will take you in its grip, and your seed after you, for ever. And he went out from before him a leper as white as snow.

bbe@2Kings:6:3 @And one of them said, Be pleased to go with your servants. And he said, I will go.

bbe@2Kings:6:4 @So he went with them. And when they came to Jordan, they got to work cutting down trees.

bbe@2Kings:6:5 @But one of them, while cutting a board, let the head of his axe go into the water; and he gave a cry, and said, This is a bad business, my master, for it is another's.

bbe@2Kings:6:6 @And the man of God said, Where did it go in? and when he saw the place where it had gone into the water, cutting a stick, he put it into the water, and the iron came up to the top of the water.

bbe@2Kings:6:7 @Then he said, Take it up. So he put out his hand and took it.

bbe@2Kings:6:8 @At that time the king of Aram was making war against Israel; and he had a meeting with the chiefs of his army and said, I will be waiting in secret in some named place.

bbe@2Kings:6:9 @And the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, Take care to keep away from that place, for the Aramaeans are waiting there in secret.

bbe@2Kings:6:10 @So the king of Israel sent to the place where the man of God had said there was danger, and kept clear of it more than once.

bbe@2Kings:6:15 @Now the servant of the man of God, having got up early and gone out, saw an army with horses and carriages of war all round the town. And the servant said to him, O my master, what are we to do?

bbe@2Kings:6:16 @And he said in answer, Have no fear; those who are with us are more than those who are with them.

bbe@2Kings:6:22 @But he said in answer, You are not to put them to death; have you any right to put to death those whom you have not taken prisoner with your sword and your bow? put bread and water before them, so that they may have food and drink and go to their master.

bbe@2Kings:6:24 @Now after this, Ben-hadad, king of Aram, got together all his army and went up to make an attack on Samaria, shutting the town in on all sides with his forces.

bbe@2Kings:6:25 @And they became very short of food in Samaria; for they kept it shut in till the price of an ass's head was eighty shekels of silver, and a small measure of doves' droppings was five shekels of silver.

bbe@2Kings:6:32 @But Elisha was in his house, and the responsible men were seated there with him; and before the king got there, Elisha said to those who were with him, Do you see how this cruel and violent man has sent to take away my life?

bbe@2Kings:6:33 @While he was still talking to them, the king came down and said, This evil is from the Lord; why am I to go on waiting any longer for the Lord?

bbe@2Kings:7:2 @Then the captain whose arm was supporting the king said to the man of God, Even if the Lord made windows in heaven, would such a thing be possible? And he said, Your eyes will see it, but you will not have a taste of the food.

bbe@2Kings:7:3 @Now there were four lepers seated at the doorway into the town: and they said to one another, Why are we waiting here for death?

bbe@2Kings:7:4 @If we say, We will go into the town, there is no food in the town, and we will come to our end there; and if we go on waiting here, death will come to us. Come then, let us give ourselves up to the army of Aram: if they let us go on living, then life will be ours; and if they put us to death, then death will be ours.

bbe@2Kings:7:6 @For the Lord had made the sound of carriages and horses, and the noise of a great army, come to the ears of the Aramaeans, so that they said to one another, Truly, the king of Israel has got the kings of the Hittites and of the Egyptians for a price to make an attack on us.

bbe@2Kings:7:7 @So they got up and went in flight, in the half light, without their tents or their horses or their asses or any of their goods; they went in flight, fearing for their lives.

bbe@2Kings:7:8 @And when those lepers came to the outer line of tents, they went into one tent, and had food and drink, and took from it silver and gold and clothing, which they put in a secret place; then they came back and went into another tent from which they took more goods, which they put away in a secret place.

bbe@2Kings:7:9 @Then they said to one another, We are not doing right. Today is a day of good news, and we say nothing: if we go on waiting here till the morning, punishment will come to us. So let us go and give the news to those of the king's house.

bbe@2Kings:7:12 @Then the king got up in the night and said to his servants, This is my idea of what the Aramaeans have done to us. They have knowledge that we are without food; and so they have gone out of their tents, and are waiting secretly in the open country, saying, When they come out of the town, we will take them living and get into the town.

bbe@2Kings:7:15 @And they went after them as far as Jordan; and all the road was covered with clothing and vessels dropped by the Aramaeans in their flight. So those who were sent went back and gave the news to the king.

bbe@2Kings:7:17 @And the king gave authority to that captain, on whose arm he was supported, to have control over the doorway into the town; but he was crushed to death there under the feet of the people, as the man of God had said when the king went down to him.

bbe@2Kings:7:19 @And that captain said to the man of God, Even if the Lord made windows in heaven, would such a thing be possible? And he said to him, Your eyes will see it, but you will not have a taste of the food.

bbe@2Kings:8:1 @Now Elisha had said to the woman whose son he had given back to life, Go now, with all the people of your house, and get a living-place for yourselves wherever you are able; for by the word of the Lord, there will be great need of food in the land; and this will go on for seven years.

bbe@2Kings:8:3 @And when the seven years were ended, the woman came back from the land of the Philistines and went to the king with a request for her house and her land.

bbe@2Kings:8:4 @Now the king was talking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, Now, give me an account of all the great things Elisha has done.

bbe@2Kings:8:5 @And while he was giving the king the story of how Elisha had given life to the dead, the woman whose son had come back to life came to the king with a request for her house and her land. And Gehazi said, My lord king, this is the woman and this is her son, whose life Elisha gave back to him.

bbe@2Kings:8:8 @Then the king said to Hazael, Take an offering with you, and go to see the man of God and get directions from the Lord by him, saying, Am I going to get better from my disease?

bbe@2Kings:8:9 @So Hazael went to see him, taking with him forty camels with offerings on their backs of every sort of good thing from Damascus; and when he came before him, he said, Your son Ben-hadad, king of Aram, has sent me to you, saying, Will I get better from this disease?

bbe@2Kings:8:10 @And Elisha said to him, Go, say to him, You will certainly get better; but the Lord has made it clear to me that only death is before him.

bbe@2Kings:8:11 @And he kept his eyes fixed on him till he was shamed, and the man of God was overcome with weeping.

bbe@2Kings:8:12 @And Hazael said, Why is my lord weeping? Then he said in answer, Because I see the evil which you will do to the children of Israel: burning down their strong towns, putting their young men to death with the sword, smashing their little ones against the stones, and cutting open the women who are with child.

bbe@2Kings:8:13 @And Hazael said, How is it possible that your servant, who is only a dog, will do this great thing? And Elisha said, The Lord has made it clear to me that you will be king over Aram.

bbe@2Kings:8:15 @Now on the day after, Hazael took the bed-cover, and making it wet with water, put it over Ben-hadad's face, causing his death: and Hazael became king in his place.

bbe@2Kings:8:19 @But it was not the Lord's purpose to send destruction on Judah, because of David his servant, to whom he had given his word that he would have a light for ever.

bbe@2Kings:8:21 @Then Joram went over to Zair, with all his war-carriages;... made an attack by night on the Edomites, whose forces were all round him,... the captains of the war-carriages; and the people went in flight to their tents.

bbe@2Kings:8:22 @So Edom made themselves free from the rule of Judah to this day. And at the same time, Libnah made itself free.

bbe@2Kings:8:24 @And Joram went to rest with his fathers and was put into the earth with his fathers in the town of David: and Ahaziah his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Kings:8:28 @He went with Joram, the son of Ahab, to make war on Hazael, king of Aram, at Ramoth-gilead: and Joram was wounded by the Aramaeans.

bbe@2Kings:9:3 @Then take the bottle and put the oil on his head, and say, The Lord says, I have put the holy oil on you to make you king over Israel. Then, opening the door, go in flight, without waiting.

bbe@2Kings:9:10 @And Jezebel will become food for the dogs in the heritage of Jezreel, and there will be no one to put her body into the earth. Then, opening the door, he went in flight.

bbe@2Kings:9:13 @Then straight away everyone took his robe and put it under him on the top of the steps, and, sounding the horn, they said, Jehu is king.

bbe@2Kings:9:15 @But King Joram had gone back to Jezreel to get well from the wounds which the Aramaeans had given him when he was fighting against Hazael, king of Aram.) And Jehu said, If this is your purpose, then let no one get away and go out of the town to give news of it in Jezreel.

bbe@2Kings:9:17 @And the watchman on the tower in Jezreel saw Jehu and his band coming, and said, I see a band of people. And Joram said, Send out a horseman to them, and let him say, Is it peace?

bbe@2Kings:9:18 @So a horseman went out to them and said, The king says, Is it peace? And Jehu said, What have you to do with peace? come after me. And the watchman gave them word, saying, The horseman went up to them, but has not come back.

bbe@2Kings:9:19 @Then he sent out a second horseman, who came up to them and said, The king says, Is it peace? And Jehu said in answer, What have you to do with peace? come after me.

bbe@2Kings:9:21 @Then Joram said, Make ready. So they made his carriage ready; and Joram, king of Israel, with Ahaziah, king of Judah, went out in their carriages for the purpose of meeting Jehu; and they came face to face with him at the field of Naboth the Jezreelite.

bbe@2Kings:9:22 @Now when Joram saw Jehu he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he said in answer, What peace is possible while all the land is full of the disgusting sins of your mother Jezebel, and her secret arts?

bbe@2Kings:9:23 @Then Joram, turning his horses in flight, said to Ahaziah, Broken faith, O Ahaziah!

bbe@2Kings:9:24 @Then Jehu took his bow in his hand, and with all his strength sent an arrow, wounding Joram between the arms; and the arrow came out at his heart, and he went down on his face in his carriage.

bbe@2Kings:9:25 @Then Jehu said to Bidkar, his captain, Take him up, and put him in the field of Naboth the Jezreelite: for is not that day in your memory when you and I together on our horses were going after Ahab, his father, and the Lord put this fate on him, saying:

bbe@2Kings:9:28 @And his servants took him in a carriage to Jerusalem, and put him into the earth with his fathers in the town of David.

bbe@2Kings:9:30 @And when Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel had news of it; and, painting her eyes and dressing her hair with ornaments, she put her head out of the window.

bbe@2Kings:9:33 @And he said, Take her and put her out of the window. So they sent her down with force, and her blood went in a shower on the wall and on the horses; and she was crushed under their feet.

bbe@2Kings:9:36 @So they came back and gave him word of it. And he said, This is what the Lord said by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the heritage of Jezreel the flesh of Jezebel will become food for dogs;

bbe@2Kings:9:37 @And the dead body of Jezebel will be like waste dropped on the face of the earth in the heritage of Jezreel; so that they will not be able to say, This is Jezebel.

bbe@2Kings:10:2 @Straight away, when you get this letter, seeing that your master's sons are with you, and that you have carriages and horses and a walled town and arms;

bbe@2Kings:10:5 @So the controller of the king's house, with the ruler of the town, and the responsible men, and those who had the care of Ahab's sons, sent to Jehu, saying, We are your servants and will do all your orders; we will not make any man king; do whatever seems best to you.

bbe@2Kings:10:6 @Then he sent them a second letter, saying, If you are on my side, and if you will do my orders, come to me at Jezreel by this time tomorrow, with the heads of your master's sons. Now the king's seventy sons were with the great men of the town, who had the care of them.

bbe@2Kings:10:8 @And a man came and said to him, They have come with the heads of the king's sons. And he said, Put them down in two masses at the doorway of the town till the morning.

bbe@2Kings:10:9 @And in the morning he went out and, stopping, said to all the people there, You are upright men: it is true that I made designs against my master, and put him to death; but who is responsible for the death of all these?

bbe@2Kings:10:10 @You may be certain that nothing which the Lord has said about the family of Ahab will be without effect; for the Lord has done what he said by his servant Elijah.

bbe@2Kings:10:15 @And when he had gone away from there, he came across Jehonadab, the son of Rechab: and he said good-day to him, and said to him, Is your heart true to mine, as mine is to yours? And Jehonadab in answer said, It is; and Jehu said, If it is, give me your hand. And he gave him his hand, and he made him come up into his carriage.

bbe@2Kings:10:16 @And he said, Come with me and see how I am on fire for the Lord's cause. So he made him go with him in his carriage.

bbe@2Kings:10:19 @Now send for all the prophets of Baal and all his servants and all his priests, to come to me; let no one keep away: for I have a great offering to make to Baal; anyone who is not present, will be put to death. This Jehu did with deceit, his purpose being the destruction of the servants of Baal.

bbe@2Kings:10:21 @And Jehu sent out through all Israel; and all the servants of Baal came, not one kept away. And they came into the house of Baal, so that it was full from end to end.

bbe@2Kings:10:23 @And Jehu, with Jehonadab, the son of Rechab, went into the house of Baal; and he said to the servants of Baal, Make a search with care, to see that no servant of the Lord is with you, but only servants of Baal.

bbe@2Kings:10:26 @And they took out the image of Asherah from the house of Baal, and had it burned.

bbe@2Kings:10:27 @The altar of Baal was pulled down and the house of Baal was broken up and made an unclean place, as it is to this day.

bbe@2Kings:10:31 @But Jehu did not take care to keep the law of the Lord with all his heart: he did not keep himself from the sin which Jeroboam did and made Israel do.

bbe@2Kings:10:32 @In those days the Lord was angry first with Israel; and Hazael made attacks on all the land of Israel,

bbe@2Kings:10:33 @East of Jordan, in all the land of Gilead, the Gadites and the Reubenites and the Manassites, from Aroer by the valley of the Arnon, all Gilead and Bashan.

bbe@2Kings:10:35 @And Jehu went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Kings:11:2 @But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, secretly took Joash, the son of Ahaziah, with the woman who took care of him, away from among the king's sons who were put to death, and put him in the bedroom; and they kept him safe from Athaliah, so that he was not put to death.

bbe@2Kings:11:4 @Then in the seventh year, Jehoiada sent for the captains of hundreds of the Carians, and the armed men, and taking them into the house of the Lord, made an agreement with them, and made them take an oath in the house of the Lord, and let them see the king's son.

bbe@2Kings:11:8 @Will make a circle round the king, every man being armed; and whoever comes inside your lines is to be put to death; keep with the king, when he goes out and when he comes in.

bbe@2Kings:11:9 @And the captains of hundreds did as Jehoiada the priest gave them orders; every one took with him his men, those who came in and those who went out on the Sabbath, and they came in to Jehoiada the priest.

bbe@2Kings:11:11 @Then the armed men took up their positions, every man with his instruments of war in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left, round about the altar and the house

bbe@2Kings:11:12 @Then he made the king's son come out, and put the crown on him and the arm-bands, and made him king, and put the holy oil on him; and they all, making sounds of joy with their hands, said, Long life to the king.

bbe@2Kings:11:14 @And looking, she saw the king in his regular place by the pillar, and the captains and the horns near him; and all the people of the land giving signs of joy and sounding the horns. Then Athaliah, violently parting her robes, gave a cry, saying, Broken faith, broken faith!

bbe@2Kings:11:15 @Then Jehoiada the priest gave orders to those who were placed in authority over the army, saying, Take her outside the lines, and let anyone who goes after her be put to death with the sword, for he said, Let her not be put to death in the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:11:18 @Then all the people of the land went to the house of Baal and had it pulled down: its altars and images were all broken to bits, and Mattan, the priest of Baal, they put to death before the altars. And the priest put overseers over the Lord's house.

bbe@2Kings:11:19 @Then he took the captains of hundreds, and the Carians, and the armed men, and all the people of the land; and they came down with the king from the house of the Lord, through the doorway of the armed men, to the king's house. And he took his place on the seat of the kings.

bbe@2Kings:11:20 @So all the people of the land were glad, and the town was quiet; and they had put Athaliah to death with the sword at the king's house.

bbe@2Kings:12:5 @Let the priests take, every man from his friends and neighbours, to make good what is damaged in the house, wherever it is to be seen.

bbe@2Kings:12:7 @Then King Jehoash sent for Jehoiada the priest, and the other priests, and said to them, Why have you not made good what is damaged in the house? now take no more money from your neighbours, but give it for the building up of the house.

bbe@2Kings:12:9 @But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and making a hole in the cover of it, put it by the altar, on the right side when one comes into the house of the Lord; and the priests who kept the door put in it regularly all the money which was taken into the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:12:10 @And when they saw that there was much money in the chest, the king's scribe and the high priest came and put it in bags, noting the amount of all the money there was in the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:12:11 @And the money which was measured out they gave regularly to those who were responsible for overseeing the work, and these gave it in payment to the woodworkers and the builders who were working on the house of the Lord,

bbe@2Kings:12:14 @But it was all given to the workmen who were building up the house.

bbe@2Kings:12:15 @And they did not get any statement of accounts from the men to whom the money was given for the workmen, for they made use of it with good faith.

bbe@2Kings:12:16 @The money of the offerings for error and the sin-offerings was not taken into the house of the Lord; it was the priests'.

bbe@2Kings:12:17 @Then Hazael, king of Aram, went up against Gath and took it; and his purpose was to go up to Jerusalem.

bbe@2Kings:12:18 @Then Jehoash, king of Judah, took all the holy things which Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah his fathers, the kings of Judah, had given to the Lord, together with the things he himself had given, and all the gold in the Temple store and in the king's house, and sent it to Hazael, king of Aram; and he went away from Jerusalem.

bbe@2Kings:18:10 @And at the end of three years they took it; in the sixth year of Hezekiah's rule, which was the ninth year of Hoshea, king of Israel, Samaria was taken

bbe@2Kings:18:12 @Because they did not give ear to the voice of the Lord their God, but went against his agreement, even against everything ordered by Moses, the servant of the Lord, and they did not give ear to it or do it.

bbe@2Kings:18:16 @And at that time Hezekiah had the gold from the doors of the Lord's house, and from the door-pillars plated by him, cut off and gave it to the king of Assyria.

bbe@2Kings:18:17 @Then the king of Assyria sent the Tartan and the Rab-saris and the Rab-shakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem, to King Hezekiah, with a strong force. And they went up and came to Jerusalem, and took up their position by the stream of the higher pool, by the highway of the washerman's field.

bbe@2Kings:18:20 @You say you have a design, and strength for war, but these are only words. Now to whom are you looking for support, that you have gone against my authority?

bbe@2Kings:18:21 @See, now, you are basing your hope on that broken rod of Egypt, which will go through a man's hand if he makes use of it for a support; for so is Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to all who put their faith in him.

bbe@2Kings:18:22 @And if you say to me, Our hope is in the Lord our God: is it not he, whose high places and altars Hezekiah has taken away, saying to Judah and Jerusalem that worship may only be given before this altar in Jerusalem?

bbe@2Kings:18:23 @And now, take a chance with my master, the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses, if you are able to put horsemen on them.

bbe@2Kings:18:25 @And have I now come up to send destruction on this place without the Lord's authority? It was the Lord himself who said to me, Go up against this land and make it waste.

bbe@2Kings:18:26 @Then Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna and Joah said to the Rab-shakeh, Will you kindly make use of the Aramaean language in talking to your servants, for we are used to it, and do not make use of the Jews' language in the hearing of the people on the wall.

bbe@2Kings:18:27 @But the Rab-shakeh said to them, Is it to your master or to you that my master has sent me to say these words? has he not sent me to the men seated on the wall? for they are the people who will be short of food with you when the town is shut in.

bbe@2Kings:18:28 @Then the Rab-shakeh got up and said with a loud voice in the Jews' language, Give ear to the words of the great king, the king of Assyria;

bbe@2Kings:18:30 @And do not let Hezekiah make you put your faith in the Lord, saying, The Lord will certainly keep us safe, and this town will not be given into the hands of the king of Assyria.

bbe@2Kings:18:31 @Do not give ear to Hezekiah, for this is what the king of Assyria says: Make peace with me and come out to me; and everyone will be free to take the fruit of his vine and of his fig-tree, and the water of his spring;

bbe@2Kings:18:37 @Then Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, who was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, came to Hezekiah, with their clothing parted as a sign of grief, and gave him an account of what the Rab-shakeh had said.

bbe@2Kings:19:1 @And on hearing it, King Hezekiah took off his robe, and put on haircloth, and went into the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:19:4 @It may be that the Lord your God will give ear to the words of the Rab-shakeh, whom the king of Assyria, his master, sent to say evil things against the living God, and will make his words come to nothing: so then make your prayer for the rest of the people.

bbe@2Kings:19:7 @See, I will put a spirit into him, and bad news will come to his ears, and he will go back to his land; and there I will have him put to death by the sword.

bbe@2Kings:19:8 @So the Rab-shakeh went back, and when he got there the king of Assyria was making war against Libnah, for it had come to his ears that he had gone away from Lachish.

bbe@2Kings:19:10 @This is what you are to say to Hezekiah, king of Judah: Let not your God, in whom is your faith, give you a false hope, saying, Jerusalem will not be given into the hands of the king of Assyria

bbe@2Kings:19:14 @And Hezekiah took the letter from the hands of those who had come with it; and after reading it, Hezekiah went up to the house of the Lord, opening the letter there before the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:19:19 @But now, O Lord our God, give us salvation from his hands, so that it may be clear to all the kingdoms of the earth that you and only you, O Lord, are God.

bbe@2Kings:19:22 @Against whom have you said evil and bitter things? against whom has your voice been loud and your eyes lifted up? even against the Holy One of Israel.

bbe@2Kings:19:23 @You have sent your servants with evil words against the Lord, and have said, With all my war-carriages I have come up to the top of the mountains, to the inmost parts of Lebanon; its tall cedars will be cut down, and the best trees of its woods; I will come up into his highest places, into his thick woods.

bbe@2Kings:19:24 @I have made water-holes and taken their waters, and with my foot I have made all the rivers of Egypt dry.

bbe@2Kings:19:25 @Has it not come to your ears how I did it long before, purposing it in times long past? Now I have given effect to my design, so that by you strong towns might be turned into masses of broken walls.

bbe@2Kings:19:29 @And this will be the sign to you: you will get your food this year from what comes up of itself; and in the second year from the produce of the same; and in the third year you will put in your seed and get in the grain and make vine-gardens and take of their fruit.

bbe@2Kings:19:30 @And those of Judah who are still living will again take root in the earth and give fruit.

bbe@2Kings:19:32 @For this cause the Lord says about the king of Assyria, He will not come into this town, or send an arrow against it; he will not come before it with arms, or put up an earthwork against it;

bbe@2Kings:19:37 @And it came about, when he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer put him to death with the sword; and they went in flight into the land of Ararat. And Esar-haddon his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Kings:20:3 @O Lord, keep in mind how I have been true to you with all my heart, and have done what is good in your eyes. And Hezekiah gave way to bitter weeping.

bbe@2Kings:20:7 @Then Isaiah said, Take a cake of figs. So they took it and put it on his wound, and he got better.

bbe@2Kings:20:10 @And Hezekiah said in answer, It is a simple thing for the shade to go forward; but let it go back ten degrees.

bbe@2Kings:20:11 @Then Isaiah the prophet made prayer to the Lord, and he made the shade go back ten degrees from its position on the steps of Ahaz.

bbe@2Kings:20:12 @At that time, Merodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters with an offering to Hezekiah, because he had news that Hezekiah had been ill

bbe@2Kings:20:21 @And Hezekiah went to rest with his fathers; and Manasseh his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Kings:21:6 @And he made his son go through the fire, and made use of secret arts and signs for reading the future; he gave positions to those who had control of spirits and to wonder-workers; he did much evil in the eyes of the Lord, moving him to wrath.

bbe@2Kings:21:11 @Because Manasseh, king of Judah, has done these disgusting things, doing more evil than all the Amorites before him, and making Judah do evil with his false gods,

bbe@2Kings:21:13 @And over Jerusalem will be stretched the line of Samaria and the weight of Ahab; Jerusalem will be washed clean as a plate is washed, and turned over on its face.

bbe@2Kings:21:14 @And I will put away from me the rest of my heritage, and give them up into the hands of their haters, who will take their property and their goods for themselves;

bbe@2Kings:21:16 @More than this, Manasseh took the lives of upright men, till Jerusalem from one end to the other was full of blood; in addition to his sin in making Judah do evil in the eyes of the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:21:18 @So Manasseh went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the garden of his house, in the garden of Uzza; and Amon his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Kings:22:2 @He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, walking in the ways of David his father, without turning to the right hand or to the left.

bbe@2Kings:22:5 @And let it be given to the overseers of the work of the Lord's house, to give to the workmen who are making good what was damaged in the house of the Lord;

bbe@2Kings:22:7 @They did not have to give any account of the money which was handed to them, for they made use of it with good faith.

bbe@2Kings:22:8 @Then Hilkiah, the chief priest, said to Shaphan the scribe, I have made discovery of the book of the law in the house of the Lord. So Hilkiah gave it to Shaphan;

bbe@2Kings:22:9 @Then, after reading it, Shaphan the scribe went in to the king and gave him an account of what had been done, saying, Your servants have given out the money which was in the house, and have given it to the overseers of the work of the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:22:10 @Then Shaphan the scribe said to the king, Hilkiah the priest has given me a book; and he was reading it before the king.

bbe@2Kings:22:11 @And the king, hearing the words of the book of the law, took his robe in his hands, violently parting it as a sign of his grief;

bbe@2Kings:22:13 @Go and get directions from the Lord for me and for the people and for all Judah, about the words of this book which has come to light; for great is the wrath of the Lord which is burning against us, because our fathers have not given ear to the words of this book, to do all the things which are recorded in it.

bbe@2Kings:22:14 @So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam and Achbor and Shaphan and Asaiah, went to Huldah the woman prophet, the wife of Shallum, the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the robes, (now she was living in Jerusalem, in the second part of the town;) and they had talk with her.

bbe@2Kings:22:16 @These are the words of the Lord: See, I will send evil on this place and on its people, even everything which the king of Judah has been reading in the book;

bbe@2Kings:22:19 @Because your heart was soft, and you made yourself low before me, when you had word of what I said against this place and its people, that they would become a waste and a curse, and you gave signs of grief, weeping before me: truly, I have given ear to you, says the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:23:2 @And the king went up to the house of the Lord, with all the men of Judah and all the people of Jerusalem, and the priests and the prophets and all the people, small and great; and they were present at his reading of the book of the law which had come to light in the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:23:3 @And the king took his place by the pillar, and made an agreement before the Lord, to go in the way of the Lord, and keep his orders and his decisions and his rules with all his heart and all his soul, and to keep the words of the agreement recorded in the book; and all the people gave their word to keep the agreement.

bbe@2Kings:23:5 @And he put an end to the false priests, who had been put in their positions by the kings of Judah to see to the burning of offerings in the high places in the towns of Judah and the outskirts of Jerusalem, and all those who made offerings to Baal and to the sun and the moon and the twelve signs and all the stars of heaven.

bbe@2Kings:23:6 @And he took the Asherah from the house of the Lord, outside Jerusalem to the stream Kidron, burning it by the stream and crushing it to dust, and he put the dust on the place where the bodies of the common people were put to rest.

bbe@2Kings:23:8 @And he made all the priests from the towns of Judah come into Jerusalem, and he made unclean the high places where the priests had been burning offerings, from Geba to Beer-sheba; and he had the high places of the evil spirits pulled down which were by the doorway of Joshua, the ruler of the town, on the left side of the way into the town.

bbe@2Kings:23:12 @And the altars on the roof of the high room of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two outer squares of the house of the Lord, were pulled down and crushed to bits, and the dust of them was put into the stream Kidron.

bbe@2Kings:23:14 @The stone pillars were broken to bits and the wood pillars cut down, and the places where they had been were made full of the bones of the dead.

bbe@2Kings:23:16 @Then Josiah, turning round, saw on the mountain the places of the dead, and he sent and had the bones taken out of their places and burned on the altar, so making it unclean, as the Lord had said by the man of God when Jeroboam was in his place by the altar on that feast-day. And he, turning his eyes to the resting-place of the man of God who had given word of these things, said:

bbe@2Kings:23:17 @What is that headstone I see over there? And the men of the town said to him, It is the resting-place of the man of God who came from Judah and gave word of all these things which you have done to the altar of Beth-el.

bbe@2Kings:23:19 @Then Josiah took away all the houses of the high places in the towns of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had put up, moving the Lord to wrath, and he did with them as he had done in Beth-el.

bbe@2Kings:23:21 @And the king gave orders to all the people, saying, Keep the Passover to the Lord your God, as it says in this book of the law.

bbe@2Kings:23:24 @And all those who had control of spirits, and the wonder-workers, and the images, and the false gods, and all the disgusting things which were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, Josiah put away, so that he might give effect to the words of the agreement recorded in the book which Hilkiah the priest made discovery of in the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:23:25 @Never before had there been a king like him, turning to the Lord with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his power, as the law of Moses says; and after him there was no king like him.

bbe@2Kings:23:27 @And the Lord said, I will send Judah away from before my face, as I have sent Israel; I will have nothing more to do with this town, which I had made mine, even Jerusalem, and the holy house of which I said, My name will be there.

bbe@2Kings:24:2 @And the Lord sent against him bands of the Chaldaeans and of the Edomites and of the Moabites and of the children of Ammon; sending them against Judah for its destruction, as he had said by his servants the prophets.

bbe@2Kings:24:4 @And because of the death of those who had done no wrong, for he made Jerusalem full of the blood of the upright; and the Lord had no forgiveness for it.

bbe@2Kings:24:6 @So Jehoiakim went to rest with his fathers; and Jehoiachin his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Kings:24:12 @Then Jehoiachin, king of Judah, went out to the king of Babylon, with his mother and his servants and his chiefs and his unsexed servants; and in the eighth year of his rule the king of Babylon took him.

bbe@2Kings:24:15 @He took Jehoiachin a prisoner to Babylon, with his mother and his wives and his unsexed servants and the great men of the land; he took them all as prisoners from Jerusalem to Babylon.

bbe@2Kings:25:1 @Now in the ninth year of his rule, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came against Jerusalem with all his army and took up his position before it, building earthworks all round the town.

bbe@2Kings:25:7 @And they put the sons of Zedekiah to death before his eyes, and then they put out his eyes, and chaining him with iron bands, took him to Babylon.

bbe@2Kings:25:9 @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@2Kings:25:10 @And the walls round Jerusalem were broken down by the Chaldaean army which was with the captain.

bbe@2Kings:25:16 @The two pillars, the great water-vessel and the wheeled bases, which Solomon had made for the house of the Lord: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.

bbe@2Kings:25:17 @One of the pillars was eighteen cubits high, with a crown of brass on it; the crown was three cubits high, circled with a network and apples all of brass; and the second pillar had the same.

bbe@2Kings:25:19 @And from the town he took the unsexed servant who was over the men of war, and five of the king's near friends who were in the town, and the scribe of the captain of the army, who was responsible for getting the people of the land together in military order, and sixty men of the people of the land who were in the town.

bbe@2Kings:25:20 @These Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, took with him to the king of Babylon at Riblah.

bbe@2Kings:25:23 @Now the captains of the armed forces, hearing that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah ruler, came with their men to Gedaliah at Mizpah; Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and Seraiah, the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah, the son of the Maacathite, came with all their men.

bbe@2Kings:25:25 @But in the seventh month, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the king's seed, came with ten men and made an attack on Gedaliah, causing his death and the death of the Jews and the Chaldaeans who were with him at Mizpah.

bbe@1Chronicles:7:4 @And with them, recorded in generations by their families, were bands of fighting-men, thirty-six thousand of them, for they had a great number of wives and sons.

bbe@1Chronicles:7:11 @All these were the sons of Jediael, by the heads of their families, seventeen thousand, two hundred men of war, able to go out with the army for war.

bbe@1Chronicles:7:23 @After that, he had connection with his wife, and she became with child and gave birth to a son, to whom his father gave the name of Beriah, because trouble had come on his family.

bbe@1Chronicles:7:28 @Their heritage and their living-places were Beth-el and its daughter-towns, and Naaran to the east, and Gezer to the west, with its daughter-towns, as well as Shechem and its daughter-towns as far as Azzah and its daughter-towns;

bbe@1Chronicles:8:35 @And the sons of Micah: Pithon and Melech and Tarea and Ahaz.

bbe@1Chronicles:9:2 @Now the first to take up their heritage in their towns were: Israel, the priests, the Levites, and the Nethinim.

bbe@1Chronicles:9:19 @And Shallum, the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brothers, of his family, the Korahites, were responsible for everything which had to be done in connection with the order of worship, keepers of the doors of the Tent; their fathers had had the care of the tents of the Lord, being keepers of the doorway.

bbe@1Chronicles:9:20 @In the past Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, had been ruler over them; may the Lord be with him!

bbe@1Chronicles:9:22 @There were two hundred and twelve whose business it was to keep the doorway. These were listed by families in the country places where they were living, whom David and Samuel the seer put in their responsible positions.

bbe@1Chronicles:9:25 @And their brothers, in the country places where they were living, were to come in every seven days to be with them from time to time.

bbe@1Chronicles:9:26 @For the four chief door-keepers, who were Levites, had a special position, looking after the rooms and the store-houses of the house of God.

bbe@1Chronicles:9:27 @Their sleeping-rooms were round the house of God, for they had the care of it, and were responsible for opening it morning by morning.

bbe@1Chronicles:9:31 @And Mattithiah, one of the Levites, the oldest son of Shallum the Korahite, was responsible for cooking the flat cakes.

bbe@1Chronicles:9:32 @And some of their brothers, sons of the Kohathites, were responsible for the holy bread which was put in order before the Lord, to get it ready every Sabbath.

bbe@1Chronicles:9:33 @And these were those who had the ordering of the music and songs, heads of families of the Levites, who were living in the rooms, and were free from other work, for their work went on day and night.

bbe@1Chronicles:9:34 @These were heads of families of the Levites in their generations, chief men; they were living at Jerusalem.

bbe@1Chronicles:9:38 @Mikloth was the father of Shimeam. They were living with their brothers in Jerusalem opposite their brothers.

bbe@1Chronicles:9:41 @And the sons of Micah: Pithon and Melech and Tahrea and Ahaz.

bbe@1Chronicles:10:4 @Then Saul said to the servant who had the care of his arms, Take your sword and put it through me, before these men without circumcision come and make sport of me. But his servant, full of fear, would not do so. Then Saul took out his sword, falling on it himself.

bbe@1Chronicles:10:13 @So death came to Saul because of the sin which he did against the Lord, that is, because of the word of the Lord which he kept not; and because he went for directions to one who had an evil spirit,

bbe@1Chronicles:11:2 @In the past, when Saul was king, it was you who went at the head of Israel when they went out or came in; and the Lord your God said to you, You are to be the keeper of my people Israel, and their ruler.

bbe@1Chronicles:11:3 @So all the responsible men of Israel came to the king at Hebron; and David made an agreement with them in Hebron before the Lord; and they put the holy oil on David and made him king over Israel, as the Lord had said by Samuel.

bbe@1Chronicles:11:4 @Then David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (which is Jebus); and the Jebusites, the people of the land, were there.

bbe@1Chronicles:11:6 @And David said, The first to overcome the Jebusites will be chief and captain. And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, went up first, and became chief.

bbe@1Chronicles:11:7 @And David took the strong tower for his living-place, so it was named the town of David.

bbe@1Chronicles:11:9 @And David became greater and greater in power, because the Lord of armies was with him.

bbe@1Chronicles:11:10 @Now these are the chief of David's men of war who were his strong supporters in the kingdom, and, with all Israel, made him king, as the Lord had said about Israel.

bbe@1Chronicles:11:11 @This is the list of David's men of war: Ishbaal, the son of a Hachmonite, the chief of the three: he put to death three hundred at one time with his spear

bbe@1Chronicles:11:12 @And after him was Eleazar, the son of Dodo the Ahohite, who was one of the three great fighters.

bbe@1Chronicles:11:13 @He was with David at Pas-dammim, where the Philistines had come together for the fight, near a bit of land full of barley; and the people went in flight before the Philistines.

bbe@1Chronicles:11:14 @And he took up his position in the middle of the bit of land, and kept back their attack, and overcame the Philistines; and the Lord gave a great salvation.

bbe@1Chronicles:11:15 @And three of the thirty went down to David, to the rock, into the strong place of Adullam; and the army of the Philistines had taken up their position in the valley of Rephaim.

bbe@1Chronicles:11:18 @So the three, forcing a way through the Philistine army, got water from the water-hole of Beth-lehem, by the doorway into the town, and took it back to David; but David would not take it, but made an offering of it, draining it out to the Lord,

bbe@1Chronicles:11:19 @Saying, By my God, far be it from me to do this! How may I take as drink the life-blood of these men who have put their lives in danger? so he did not take it. These things did the three great men of war.

bbe@1Chronicles:11:20 @And Abishai, the brother of Joab, was chief of the thirty, for he put to death three hundred with his spear, but he had not a name among the three.

bbe@1Chronicles:11:23 @And he made an attack on an Egyptian, a very tall man about five cubits high, armed with a spear like a cloth-worker's rod; he went down to him with a stick, and pulling his spear out of the hand of the Egyptian, put him to death with that same spear.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:14 @These Gadites were captains of the army; the least of them was captain over a hundred men, and the greatest over a thousand.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:15 @It was they who went over Jordan in the first month, when the river was overflowing, and put to flight all the people of the valleys, to the east and to the west.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:17 @And David went out to them, and said to them, If you have come in peace to give me help, my heart will be united with yours; but if you have come to give me up to those who would take my life, though my hands are clean from wrongdoing, then may the God of our fathers see it and give you punishment.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:18 @Then the spirit came on Amasai, who was chief of the captains, and he said, We are yours, David, we are on your side, O son of Jesse: may peace be with you and peace be with your helpers; for God is your helper. Then David took them into his army and made them captains of the band.

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:12:37 @From the other side of Jordan, there were a hundred and twenty thousand of the Reubenites and the Gadites and the men of the half-tribe of Manasseh, armed with every sort of instrument of war.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:38 @All these men of war, expert in ordering the fight, came to Hebron with the full purpose of making David king over all Israel; and all the rest of Israel were united in their desire to make David king.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:39 @For three days they were there with David, feasting at his table, for their brothers had made ready food for them.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:40 @And those who were near, as far as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, came with food on asses and camels and mules and oxen, with meal for food and cakes of figs and masses of grapes, and wine and oil and oxen and sheep in great numbers, for there was joy in Israel.

bbe@1Chronicles:13:1 @Then David had discussions with the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds and with every chief.

bbe@1Chronicles:13:2 @And David said to all the men of Israel who had come together there, If it seems good to you and if it is the purpose of the Lord our God, let us send to all the rest of our brothers, everywhere in the land of Israel, and to the priests and the Levites in their towns and the country round them, and get them to come together here to us;

bbe@1Chronicles:13:3 @And let us get back for ourselves the ark of our God: for in the days of Saul we did not go to it for directions.

bbe@1Chronicles:13:4 @And all the people said they would do so, for it seemed right to them.

bbe@1Chronicles:13:6 @And David went up, with all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath-jearim in Judah, to get up from there the ark of God, over which the holy Name is named, the name of the Lord whose place is between the winged ones.

bbe@1Chronicles:13:7 @And they put the ark of God on a new cart, and took it out of the house of Abinadab; and Uzza and Ahio were the drivers of the cart.

bbe@1Chronicles:13:8 @Then David and all Israel made melody before God with all their strength, with songs and corded instruments of music, and with brass instruments and horns.

bbe@1Chronicles:13:9 @And when they came to the grain-floor of Chidon, Uzza put out his hand to keep the ark in its place, for the oxen were slipping.

bbe@1Chronicles:13:13 @So David did not let the ark come back to him to the town of David, but had it turned away and put into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

bbe@1Chronicles:14:1 @And Hiram, king of Tyre, sent men to David with cedar-trees, and stoneworkers and woodworkers for the building of his house.

bbe@1Chronicles:14:2 @And David saw that the Lord had made his position safe as king over Israel, lifting up his kingdom on high because of his people Israel.

bbe@1Chronicles:14:8 @And when the Philistines had news that David had been made king over all Israel, they went up in search of David, and David, hearing of it, went out against them.

bbe@1Chronicles:14:12 @And the Philistines did not take their images with them in their flight; and at David's orders they were burned with fire.

bbe@1Chronicles:14:14 @And David went for directions to God; and God said to him, You are not to go up after them; but, turning away from them, come face to face with them opposite the spice-trees.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:1 @And David made houses for himself in the town of David; and he got ready a place for the ark of God, and put up a tent for it.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:2 @Then David said, The ark of God may not be moved by any but the Levites, for they have been marked out by God to take the ark of God, and to do his work for ever.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:3 @And David made all Israel come together at Jerusalem, to take the ark of the Lord to its place, which he had got ready for it.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:4 @And David got together the sons of Aaron, and the Levites;

bbe@1Chronicles:15:11 @And David sent for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, Uriel, Asaiah and Joel, Shemaiah and Eliel and Amminadab,

bbe@1Chronicles:15:12 @And said to them, You are the heads of the families of the Levites: make yourselves holy, you and your brothers, so that you may take the ark of the Lord, the God of Israel, to the place which I have made ready for it.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:13 @For because you did not take it at the first, the Lord our God sent punishment on us, because we did not get directions from him in the right way.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:14 @So the priests and the Levites made themselves holy to take up the ark of the Lord, the God of Israel.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:15 @And the sons of the Levites took up the ark of God, lifting it by its rods, as the Lord had said to Moses.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:16 @And David gave orders to the chief of the Levites to put their brothers the music-makers in position, with instruments of music, corded instruments and brass, with glad voices making sounds of joy.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:17 @So Heman, the son of Joel, and, of his brothers, Asaph, the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brothers, Ethan, the son of Kushaiah, were put in position by the Levites;

bbe@1Chronicles:15:18 @And with them their brothers of the second order, Zechariah, Bani and Jaaziel and Shemiramoth and Jehiel and Unni, Eliab and Benaiah and Maaseiah and Mattithiah and Eliphelehu and Mikneiah, and Obed-edom and Jeiel, the door-keepers.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:19 @So those who made melody, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were put in position, with brass instruments, sounding loudly;

bbe@1Chronicles:15:20 @And Zechariah and Aziel and Shemiramoth and Jehiel, Unni and Eliab and Maaseiah and Benaiah, with corded instruments put to Alamoth.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:21 @And Mattithiah and Eliphelehu and Mikneiah and Obed-edom and Jeiel and Azaziah, with corded instruments on the octave, to give the first note of the song.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:22 @And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was master of the music: he gave directions about the song, because he was expert.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:25 @So David, and the responsible men of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went with joy to get the ark of the agreement of the Lord out of the house of Obed-edom.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:26 @And when God gave help to the Levites who were lifting up the ark of the agreement of the Lord, they made an offering of seven oxen and seven sheep.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:27 @And David was clothed with a robe of fair linen, as were all the Levites who took up the ark, and those who made melody, and Chenaniah the master of those who made melody; and David had on a linen ephod;

bbe@1Chronicles:15:28 @So all Israel took up the ark of the agreement of the Lord, with loud cries and with horns and brass and corded instruments sounding loudly.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:1 @Then they took in the ark of God and put it inside the tent which David had put up for it; and they made offerings, burned offerings and peace-offerings before God.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:4 @And he put some of the Levites before the ark of the Lord as servants, to keep the acts of the Lord in memory, and to give worship and praise to the Lord, the God of Israel:

bbe@1Chronicles:16:17 @And he gave it to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an eternal agreement;

bbe@1Chronicles:16:36 @Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, for ever and for ever. And all the people said, So be it; and gave praise to the Lord.

bbe@1Chronicles:17:6 @In all the places where I have gone with all Israel, did I ever say to any of the judges of Israel, whom I made the keepers of my people, Why have you not made for me a house of cedar?

bbe@1Chronicles:17:8 @And I have been with you wherever you went, cutting off before you all those who were against you; and I will make your name like the name of the greatest ones of the earth.

bbe@1Chronicles:17:17 @And this was only a small thing to you, O God; but your words have even been about the far-off future of your servant's family, looking on me as on one of high position, O Lord God.

bbe@1Chronicles:17:25 @For you, O my God, have let your servant see that you will make him head of a line of kings; and so it has come into your servant's heart to make his prayer to you.

bbe@1Chronicles:17:27 @And now you have been pleased to give your blessing to the family of your servant, so that it may go on for ever before you; you, O Lord, have given your blessing, and a blessing will be on it for ever.

bbe@1Chronicles:18:1 @And it came about after this that David made an attack on the Philistines and overcame them, and took Gath with its daughter-towns out of the hands of the Philistines.

bbe@1Chronicles:18:10 @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:19:1 @Now it came about after this that death came to Nahash, the king of the children of Ammon, and his son became king in his place.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:3 @But the chiefs of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Does it seem to you that David is honouring your father, by sending comforters to you? is it not clear that these men have only come to go through the land and to make secret observation of it so that they may overcome it?

bbe@1Chronicles:19:5 @Then certain men went and gave David word of what had been done to them. And he sent out with the purpose of meeting them; for the men were greatly shamed. And the king said, Keep where you are at Jericho till your hair is long again, and then come back.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:7 @So with this money they got thirty-two thousand war-carriages, and the help of the king of Maacah and his people, who came and took up their position in front of Medeba. And the children of Ammon came together from their towns for the fight.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:8 @And David, hearing of it, sent Joab with all the army of fighting-men.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:9 @So the children of Ammon came out and put their forces in position on the way into the town; and the kings who had come were stationed by themselves in the field.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:10 @Now when Joab saw that their forces were in position against him in front and at his back, he took all the best men of Israel, and put them in line against the Aramaeans;

bbe@1Chronicles:19:11 @And the rest of the people he put in position against the children of Ammon with Abishai, his brother, at their head.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:14 @So Joab and the people who were with him went forward into the fight against the Aramaeans, and they went in flight before him.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:16 @And when the Aramaeans saw that Israel had overcome them, they sent men to get the Aramaeans who were on the other side of the River, with Shophach, the captain of Hadadezer's army, at their head.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:17 @And word of this was given to David; and he got all Israel together and went over Jordan and came to Helam and put his forces in position against them. And when David's forces were in position against the Aramaeans, the fight was started.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:19 @And when the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were overcome by Israel, they made peace with David and became his servants: and the Aramaeans would give no more help to the children of Ammon.

bbe@1Chronicles:20:1 @Now in the spring, at the time when kings go out to war, Joab went out at the head of the armed forces and made waste all the land of the Ammonites and put his men in position before Rabbah, shutting it in. But David was still at Jerusalem. And Joab took Rabbah and made it waste.

bbe@1Chronicles:20:2 @And David took the crown of Milcom from off his head; its weight was a talent of gold and it had stones of great price in it; and it was put on David's head, and he took a great store of goods from the town.

bbe@1Chronicles:20:3 @And he took the people out of the town and put them to work with wood-cutting instruments, and iron grain-crushers, and axes. And this he did to all the towns of the children of Ammon. Then David and all the people went back to Jerusalem.

bbe@1Chronicles:20:4 @Now after this there was war with the Philistines at Gezer; then Sibbecai the Hushathite put to death Sippai, one of the offspring of the Rephaim; and they were overcome.

bbe@1Chronicles:20:5 @And again there was war with the Philistines; and Elhanan, the son of Jair, put to death Lahmi, the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the stem of whose spear was like a cloth-worker's rod.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:6 @But Levi and Benjamin were not numbered among them, for Joab was disgusted with the king's order.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:7 @And God was not pleased with this thing; so he sent punishment on Israel.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:10 @Go and say to David, The Lord says, Three things are offered to you: say which of them you will have, so that I may do it to you.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:15 @And God sent an angel to Jerusalem for its destruction: and when he was about to do so, the Lord saw, and had regret for the evil, and said to the angel of destruction, It is enough; do no more. Now the angel of the Lord was by the grain-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:16 @And David, lifting up his eyes, saw the angel of the Lord there between earth and heaven, with an uncovered sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the responsible men, clothed in haircloth, went down on their faces.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:17 @And David said to God, Was it not I who gave the order for the people to be numbered? It is I who have done the sin and the great wrong; but these are only sheep; what have they done? let your hand, O Lord God, be lifted up against me and against my family, but not against your people to send disease on them.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:18 @Then the angel of the Lord gave orders to Gad to say to David that he was to go and put up an altar to the Lord on the grain-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:20 @And Ornan, turning back, saw the angel, and his four sons who were with him went to a secret place. Now Ornan was crushing his grain.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:22 @Then David said to Ornan, Give me the place where this grain-floor is, so that I may put up an altar here to the Lord: let me have it for its full price; so that this disease may be stopped among the people.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:23 @And Ornan said to David, Take it, and let my lord the king do what seems right to him. See, I give you the oxen for burned offerings and the grain-cleaning instruments for fire-wood, and the grain for the meal offering; I give it all.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:24 @And King David said to Ornan, No; I will certainly give you the full price for it, because I will not take for the Lord what is yours, or give a burned offering without payment.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:26 @And David put up an altar there to the Lord, offering burned offerings and peace-offerings with prayers to the Lord; and he gave him an answer from heaven, sending fire on the altar of burned offering.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:27 @Then the Lord gave orders to the angel, and he put back his sword into its cover.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:28 @At that time, when David saw that the Lord had given him an answer on the grain-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he made an offering there.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:30 @But David was not able to go before it to get directions from the Lord, so great was his fear of the sword of the angel of the Lord.

bbe@1Chronicles:22:4 @And cedar-trees without number, for the Zidonians and the men of Tyre came with a great amount of cedar-trees for David.

bbe@1Chronicles:22:5 @And David said, Solomon my son is young and untested, and the house which is to be put up for the Lord is to be very great, a thing of wonder and glory through all countries; so I will make ready what is needed for it. So David got ready a great store of material before his death.

bbe@1Chronicles:22:7 @And David said to Solomon, My son, it was my desire to put up a house for the name of the Lord my God.

bbe@1Chronicles:22:8 @But the word of the Lord came to me saying, You have taken lives without number and made great wars; I will not let you be the builder of a house for my name, because of the lives you have taken on the earth before my eyes.

bbe@1Chronicles:22:11 @Now, my son, may the Lord be with you; and may you do well, and put up the house of the Lord your God, as he has said of you.

bbe@1Chronicles:22:14 @Now see, poor though I am, I have got ready for the house of the Lord a hundred thousand talents of gold and a million talents of silver; and a weight of brass and iron greater than may be measured; and wood and stone have I made ready, and you may put more to it.

bbe@1Chronicles:22:18 @Is not the Lord your God with you? and has he not given you rest on every side? for the Lord has given the people of the land into my hands, and the land is overcome before the Lord and before his people.

bbe@1Chronicles:23:2 @And he got together all the chiefs of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.

bbe@1Chronicles:23:3 @And the Levites, all those of thirty years old and over, were numbered; and the number of them, by heads, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand.

bbe@1Chronicles:23:4 @Of these, twenty-four thousand were to be overseers of the work of the house of the Lord, and six thousand were judges and men of authority;

bbe@1Chronicles:23:5 @Four thousand were door-keepers; and four thousand gave praise to the Lord with the instruments which I made, said David, for giving praise.

bbe@1Chronicles:23:7 @Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.

bbe@1Chronicles:23:18 @The sons of Izhar: Shelomith the first

bbe@1Chronicles:23:26 @And from now, there will be no need for the House of the Lord, and the vessels used in it, to be moved about by the Levites.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:1 @Now the divisions into which the sons of Aaron were grouped were these: the sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:2 @But Nadab and Abihu came to their end before their father, and had no children; so Eleazar and Ithamar did the work of priests.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:3 @And David, with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, made distribution of them into their positions for their work.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:4 @And there were more chiefs among the sons of Eleazar than among the sons of Ithamar; and this is how they were grouped: of the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen, all heads of families; and of the sons of Ithamar, heads of families, there were eight.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:5 @So they were put into groups, by the Lord's decision, one with another; for there were rulers of the holy place and rulers of the house of God among the sons of Eleazar and the sons of Ithamar.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:6 @And Shemaiah, the son of Nethanel the scribe, who was a Levite, put down their names in writing, the king being present with the rulers, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech, the son of Abiathar, and the heads of families of the priests and the Levites; one family being taken for Eleazar and then one for Ithamar, and so on.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:19 @So they were put into their different groups, to take their places in the house of the Lord, in agreement with the rules made by Aaron their father, as the Lord, the God of Israel, had given him orders.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:22 @Of the Izharites, Shelomoth; of the sons of Shelomoth, Jahath.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:30 @And the sons of Mushi: Mahli and Eder and Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites by their families.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:31 @Selection was made of these in the same way as of their brothers the sons of Aaron, David the king being present, with Zadok, and Ahimelech, and the heads of families of the priests and of the Levites; the families of the chief in the same way as those of his younger brother.

bbe@1Chronicles:25:1 @Further, David and the chiefs of the servants of the holy place made selection of certain of the sons of Asaph and of Heman and of Jeduthun for the work of prophets, to make melody with corded instruments and brass; and the number of the men for the work they had to do was:

bbe@1Chronicles:25:3 @Of Jeduthun: the six sons of Jeduthun, Gedaliah and Zeri and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah and Mattithiah; under the direction of their father Jeduthun who, acting as a prophet, with corded instruments gave praise and glory to the Lord.

bbe@1Chronicles:25:6 @All these, under the direction of their father, made music in the house of the Lord, with brass and corded instruments, for the worship of the house of God; Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman being under the orders of the king.

bbe@1Chronicles:25:7 @And the number of them, with their brothers who were trained and expert in making melody to the Lord, was two hundred and eighty-eight.

bbe@1Chronicles:26:31 @Of the Hebronites, Jerijah was the chief of all the Hebronites, in their generations by families. In the fortieth year of the rule of David a search was made, and able men were seen among them at Jazer of Gilead.

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: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:28:7 @I will keep his kingdom in its place for ever, if he is strong at all times to do my orders and keep my rules, as at this day.

bbe@1Chronicles:28:8 @So now, before the eyes of all Israel, the people of the Lord, and in the hearing of our God, keep and be true to the orders of the Lord your God; so that you may have this good land for yourselves and give it for a heritage to your children after you for ever.

bbe@1Chronicles:28:9 @And you, Solomon my son, get knowledge of the God of your father, and be his servant with a true heart and with a strong desire, for the Lord is the searcher of all hearts, and has knowledge of all the designs of men's thoughts; if you make search for him, he will be near you; but if you are turned away from him, he will give you up for ever.

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:28:19 @All this, said David, the design for all these things, has been made dear to me in writing by the hand of the Lord.

bbe@1Chronicles:28:20 @And David said to his son Solomon, Be strong and of a good heart and do your work; have no fear and do not be troubled, for the Lord God, my God, is with you; he will not give you up, and his face will not be turned away from you, till all the work necessary for the house of the Lord is complete.

bbe@1Chronicles:28:21 @And see, there are the divisions of the priests and Levites for all the work of the house of God; and every trained and expert workman will be ready to do for you whatever is needed; and the captains and the people will be under your orders in everything.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:3 @And because this house of God is dear to me, I give my private store of gold and silver to the house of my God, in addition to all I have got ready for the holy house;

bbe@1Chronicles:29:6 @Then the heads of families and the chiefs of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the controllers of the king's business, freely gave themselves;

bbe@1Chronicles:29:8 @And those who had stones of great price gave them to the store of the house of the Lord, under the care of Jehiel the Gershonite.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:9 @Then the people were glad because their offerings were freely given, for with a true heart they freely gave what they had to the Lord; and David the king was full of joy.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:11 @Yours, O Lord, is the strength and the power and the glory, and the authority and the honour: for everything in heaven and on earth is yours; yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are lifted up as head over all.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:12 @Wealth and honour come from you, and you are ruler over all, and in your hand is power and strength; it is in your power to make great, and to give strength to all.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:20 @And David said to all the people, Now give praise to the Lord your God. And all the people gave praise to the Lord, the God of their fathers, with bent heads worshipping the Lord and the king.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:21 @And they made offerings to the Lord, and gave burned offerings to the Lord, on the day after, a thousand oxen, a thousand sheep, and a thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and a great wealth of offerings for all Israel.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:22 @And with great joy they made a feast before the Lord that day. And they made Solomon, the son of David, king a second time, putting the holy oil on him to make him holy to the Lord as ruler, and on Zadok as priest.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:23 @So Solomon was put on the seat of the Lord as king in place of his father David, and everything went well for him; and all Israel was under his authority.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:24 @And all the chiefs and the men of war and all the sons of King David put themselves under the authority of Solomon the king.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:25 @And the Lord made Solomon great in the eyes of all Israel, clothing him with glory and honour such as no other king in Israel had had before him.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:30 @Together with all his rule and his power, and the events which took place in his time, in Israel and in all the kingdoms of other lands.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:1 @And Solomon, the son of David, made himself strong in his kingdom, and the Lord his God was with him, and made him very great.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:3 @Then Solomon, and all the men of Israel with him, went to the high place at Gibeon, because the Tent of meeting of God, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, had made in the waste land, was there.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:4 @But the ark of God had been moved by David from Kiriath-jearim to the place which he had made ready for it, for he had put up a tent for it at Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:6 @And Solomon went up there to the brass altar before the Lord at the Tent of meeting, offering on it a thousand burned offerings.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:14 @And Solomon got together war-carriages and horsemen; he had one thousand, four hundred carriages and twelve thousand horsemen, which he kept, some in the carriage-towns and some with the king at Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:17 @A war-carriage might be got from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty: they got them at the same rate for all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Aram.

bbe@2Chronicles:2:1 @Now it was Solomon's purpose to put up a house for the name of the Lord and a house for himself as king.

bbe@2Chronicles:2:6 @But who may have strength enough to make a house for him, seeing that the heaven and the heaven of heavens are not wide enough to be his resting-place? who am I then to make a house for him? But I am building it only for the burning of perfume before him.

bbe@2Chronicles:2:7 @So now send me an expert worker in gold and silver and brass and iron? in purple and red and blue, and in the cutting of all sorts of ornament, to be with the expert workmen who are here in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom my father David got together.

bbe@2Chronicles:2:8 @And send me cedar-trees, cypress-trees and sandal-wood from Lebanon, for, to my knowledge, your servants are expert wood-cutters in Lebanon; and my servants will be with yours,

bbe@2Chronicles:2:11 @Then Huram, king of Tyre, sent Solomon an answer in writing, saying, Because of his love for his people the Lord has made you king over them.

bbe@2Chronicles:2:16 @And we will have wood cut from Lebanon, as much as you have need of, and will send it to you on flat boats by sea to Joppa, and from there you may take it up to Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:1 @Then Solomon made a start at building the house of the Lord on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem, where the Lord had been seen by his father David, in the place which David had made ready in the grain-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:3 @And Solomon put the base of the house of God in position; by the older measure it was sixty cubits long and twenty cubits wide.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:4 @And the covered way in front of the house was twenty cubits long, as wide as the house, and a hundred and twenty cubits high, all plated inside with the best gold.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:5 @And the greater house was roofed with cypress-wood, plated with the best gold and ornamented with designs of palm-trees and chains.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:6 @And the house was made beautiful with stones of great value, and the gold was gold of Parvaim.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:7 @All the house was plated with gold, the supports, the steps, the walls and the doors; and the walls were ornamented with designs of winged ones.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:8 @And he made the most holy place; it was twenty cubits long, and twenty cubits wide, like the greater house, and was plated all over with the best gold; six hundred talents were used for it.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:9 @And fifty shekels weight of gold was used for the nails. He had all the higher rooms plated with gold.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:10 @And in the most holy place he made images of two winged beings, covering them with gold

bbe@2Chronicles:3:11 @Their outstretched wings were twenty cubits across; one wing, five cubits long, touching the wall of the house, and the other, of the same size, meeting the wing of the other winged one.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:12 @And in the same way, the wings of the other, five cubits long, were stretched out, one touching the wall and the other meeting the wing of the first winged one.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:13 @Their outstretched wings were twenty cubits across; they were placed upright on their feet, facing the inner part of the house.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:14 @And he made the veil of blue and purple and red, of the best linen, worked with winged ones.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:15 @And in front of the house he made two pillars, thirty-five cubits high, with crowns on the tops of them, five cubits high.

bbe@2Chronicles:4:1 @Then he made a brass altar, twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide and ten cubits high.

bbe@2Chronicles:4:2 @And he made the great water-vessel of metal, round in form, measuring ten cubits across from edge to edge; it was five cubits high and thirty cubits round.

bbe@2Chronicles:4:3 @And under it was a design of flowers all round it, ten to a cubit, circling the water-vessel in two lines; they were made from liquid metal at the same time as the water-vessel.

bbe@2Chronicles:4:4 @It was supported on twelve oxen, three facing to the north, three to the west, three to the south, and three to the east, the water-vessel resting on top of them; their back parts were all turned to the middle of it.

bbe@2Chronicles:4:5 @It was as thick as a man's open hand, and the edge of it was curved like the edge of a cup, like a lily flower; it would take three thousand baths.

bbe@2Chronicles:4:9 @Then he made the open space for the priests, and the great open space and its doors, plating the doors with brass.

bbe@2Chronicles:4:15 @The great water-vessel with the twelve oxen under it.

bbe@2Chronicles:4:20 @And the supports for the lights with their lights, to be burning in the regular way in front of the inmost room, of the best gold;

bbe@2Chronicles:4:21 @The flowers and the vessels for the lights and the instruments used for them, were all of gold; it was the best gold.

bbe@2Chronicles:5:4 @All the responsible men of Israel came, and the Levites took up the ark.

bbe@2Chronicles:5:5 @They took up the ark and the Tent of meeting and all the holy vessels which were in the Tent; all these the priests, the Levites, took up.

bbe@2Chronicles:5:6 @And King Solomon and all the men of Israel who had come together there with him, were before the ark, making offerings of sheep and oxen more than might be numbered.

bbe@2Chronicles:5:7 @And the priests took the ark of the Lord's agreement and put it in its place, in the inner room of the house, in the most holy place, under the wings of the winged ones.

bbe@2Chronicles:5:8 @For their wings were outstretched over the place where the ark was, covering the ark and its rods.

bbe@2Chronicles:5:10 @Nothing was in the ark but the two flat stones which Moses put there at Horeb, where the Lord made an agreement with the children of Israel when they came out of Egypt.

bbe@2Chronicles:5:12 @And the Levites who made the music, all of them, Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and brothers, robed in fair linen, were in their places with their brass and corded instruments at the east side of the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests blowing horns;)

bbe@2Chronicles:5:13 @And when the players on horns, and those who made melody in song, with one voice were sounding the praise and glory of the Lord; with loud voices and with wind instruments, and brass and corded instruments of music, praising the Lord and saying, He is good; his mercy is unchanging for ever: then the house was full of the cloud of the glory of the Lord,

bbe@2Chronicles:6:4 @And he said, Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, who himself gave his word to my father David, and with his strong hand has made his word come true, saying,

bbe@2Chronicles:6:7 @Now it was in the heart of my father David to put up a house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:9 @But you yourself will not be the builder of the house; but your son, the offspring of your body, he it is who will put up a house for my name.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:11 @And there I have put the ark, in which is the agreement of the Lord, which he made with the people of Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:13 @(For Solomon had made a brass stage, five cubits long, five cubits wide and three cubits high, and had put it in the middle of the open space; on this he took his place and went down on his knees before all the meeting of Israel, stretching out his hands to heaven.)

bbe@2Chronicles:6:14 @And he said, O Lord, the God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven or on earth; keeping faith and mercy unchanging for your servants, while they go in your ways with all their hearts;

bbe@2Chronicles:6:15 @For you have kept the word which you gave to your servant David, my father; with your mouth you said it and with your hand you have made it come true this day.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:16 @So now, O Lord, the God of Israel, let your word to your servant David, my father, come true, when you said, You will never be without a man to take his place before me on the seat of the kingdom of Israel; if only your children give attention to their ways, walking in my law, as you have done before me.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:18 @But is it truly possible that God may be housed with men on earth? see, heaven and the heaven of heavens are not wide enough to be your resting-place: how much less this house which I have made:

bbe@2Chronicles:6:26 @When heaven is shut up and there is no rain, because of their sin against you: if they make prayers with their faces turned to this place, honouring your name and turning away from their sin when you send trouble on them:

bbe@2Chronicles:6:27 @Then give ear from heaven, so that the sin of your servants and the sin of your people Israel may have forgiveness, when you make clear to them the good way in which they are to go; and send rain on your land which you have given to your people for their heritage.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:28 @If there is no food in the land, if there is disease, if the fruits of the earth are damaged by heat or water, locust or worm; if their towns are shut in by their attackers: whatever trouble or whatever disease there may be:

bbe@2Chronicles:6:30 @Then give ear from heaven your living-place, answering with forgiveness, and give to every man, whose secret heart is open to you, the reward of all his ways; (for you, and you only, have knowledge of the hearts of the children of men;)

bbe@2Chronicles:6:33 @Then give ear from heaven your living-place, and give him his desire, whatever it may be; so that all the peoples of the earth may have knowledge of your name, worshipping you as do your people Israel, and may see that this house which I have made is truly named by your name.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:36 @If they do wrong against you, (for no man is without sin,) and you are angry with them, and give them up into the power of those who are fighting against them, so that they take them away prisoners to a land far off or near;

bbe@2Chronicles:6:38 @If with all their heart and soul they are turned again to you, in the land where they are prisoners, the land where they have been taken, and make their prayers, turning their eyes to their land which you gave to their fathers, and to the town which you took for yourself, and the house which I have made for your name:

bbe@2Chronicles:6:39 @Then give ear from heaven your living-place to their prayer and their cry, and see right done to them, answering with forgiveness your people who have done wrong against you.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:41 @Up! now, O Lord God, come back to your resting-place, you and the ark of your strength: let your priests, O Lord God, be clothed with salvation, and let your saints be glad in what is good.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:3 @And all the children of Israel were looking on when the fire came down, and the glory of the Lord was on the house; and they went down on their knees, with their faces to the earth, worshipping and praising the Lord, and saying, He is good; for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:6 @And the priests were in their places, and the Levites with their instruments of music for the Lord's song, which David the king had made for the praise of the Lord whose mercy is unchanging for ever, when David gave praise by their hand; and the priests were sounding horns before them; and all Israel were on their feet.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:8 @So Solomon kept the feast at that time for seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great meeting, for the people had come together from the way into Hamath and from as far as the river of Egypt.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:11 @So Solomon came to the end of building the house of the Lord and the king's house; and everything which it was in his mind to make in the house of the Lord and for himself had been well done.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:13 @If, at my word, heaven is shut up, so that there is no rain, or if I send locusts on the land for its destruction, or if I send disease on my people;

bbe@2Chronicles:7:16 @For I have taken this house for myself and made it holy, so that my name may be there for ever; and my eyes and my heart will be there at all times

bbe@2Chronicles:7:18 @Then I will make strong the seat of your kingdom, as I gave my word to David your father, saying, You will never be without a man to be ruler in Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:20 @Then I will have this people uprooted out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for my name, I will put away from before my eyes, and make it an example and a word of shame among all peoples.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:21 @And this house will become a mass of broken walls, and everyone who goes by will be overcome with wonder, and will say, Why has the Lord done so to this land and to this house?

bbe@2Chronicles:8:3 @And Solomon went to Hamath-zobah and overcame it.

bbe@2Chronicles:8:5 @And of Beth-horon the higher and the lower, walled towns with walls and doorways and locks;

bbe@2Chronicles:8:6 @And of Baalath, and all the store-towns which Solomon had, and the towns where he kept his war-carriages and his horse men, and everything which it was his pleasure to put up in Jerusalem and in Lebanon and in all the land under his rule.

bbe@2Chronicles:8:7 @As for all the rest of the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel:

bbe@2Chronicles:8:10 @Now these were the chief men in authority whom King Solomon had: two hundred and fifty of them, in authority over the people.

bbe@2Chronicles:8:14 @And he gave the divisions of the priests their places for their work, as ordered by his father David, and to the Levites he gave their work of praise and waiting on the priests, to do what was needed day by day; and he gave the door-keepers their places in turn at every door; for so David, the man of God, had given orders.

bbe@2Chronicles:8:15 @All the orders given by the king to the priests and Levites, in connection with any business or stores, were done with care.

bbe@2Chronicles:8:16 @And all the work of Solomon was complete, from the day when he put the base of the Lord's house in position, till Solomon had come to the end of building the Lord's house.

bbe@2Chronicles:8:18 @And Huram sent him, by his servants, ships and experienced seamen, who went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir and came back with four hundred and fifty talents of gold, which they took to King Solomon

bbe@2Chronicles:9:1 @Now the queen of Sheba, hearing great things of Solomon, came to Jerusalem to put his wisdom to the test with hard questions; and with her came a very great train, and camels weighted down with spices, and great stores of gold and jewels: and when she came to Solomon she had talk with him of everything in her mind.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:4 @And the food at his table, and all his servants seated there, and those who were waiting on him in their places, and their robes, and his wine-servants and their robes, and the burned offerings which he made in the house of the Lord, there was no more spirit in her.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:6 @But I had no faith in what was said about you, till I came and saw for myself; and truly, word was not given me of half your great wisdom; you are much greater than they said.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:8 @Praise be to the Lord your God whose pleasure it was to put you on the seat of his kingdom to be king for the Lord your God: because, in his love for Israel, it was the purpose of your God to make them strong for ever, he made you king over them, to be their judge in righteousness.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:10 @And the servants of Huram and the servants of Solomon, in addition to gold from Ophir, came back with sandal-wood and jewels.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:11 @And with the sandal-wood the king made steps for the house of the Lord and for the king's house, and instruments of music for the makers of melody; never before had such been seen in the land of Judah.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:12 @And King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she made request for, in addition to what she had taken to the king. So she went back to her country with her servants.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:14 @And in addition to what he got from traders of different sorts, all the kings of Arabia and the rulers of the country gave gold and silver to Solomon.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:15 @And King Solomon made two hundred body-covers of hammered gold, every one having six hundred shekels of gold in it.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:17 @Then the king made a great ivory seat, plated with the best gold.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:18 @There were six steps up to it, and a foot-rest of gold fixed to it, and arms on the two sides of the seat, with two lions at the side of the arms.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:19 @And twelve lions were placed on one side and on the other side on the six steps: there was nothing like it in any kingdom.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:21 @For the king had Tarshish-ships sailing with the servants of Huram: once every three years the Tarshish-ships came back with gold and silver, ivory and monkeys and peacocks.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:24 @And everyone took with him an offering, vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and robes, and coats of metal, and spices, and horses and beasts for transport, regularly year by year.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:25 @Solomon had four thousand buildings for his horses and his war-carriages, and twelve thousand horsemen whom he kept, some in the carriage-towns and some with the king in Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:26 @And he was ruler over all the kings from the River to the land of the Philistines, as far as the limit of Egypt.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:31 @And Solomon went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the town of David his father; and Rehoboam his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:10:2 @And when Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, had news of it, (for he was in Egypt where he had gone in flight from King Solomon,) he came back from Egypt.

bbe@2Chronicles:10:4 @Your father put a hard yoke on us: if you will make the conditions under which your father kept us down less cruel, and the weight of the yoke he put on us less hard, then we will be your servants.

bbe@2Chronicles:10:6 @Then King Rehoboam took the opinion of the old men who had been with Solomon his father when he was living, and said, In your opinion, what answer am I to give to this people?

bbe@2Chronicles:10:8 @But he gave no attention to the opinion of the old men, but went to the young men of his generation who were waiting before him.

bbe@2Chronicles:10:10 @And the young men of his generation said to him, This is the answer to give to the people who came to you saying, Your father put a hard yoke on us, but will you make it less; say to them, My little finger is thicker than my father's body;

bbe@2Chronicles:10:11 @If my father put a hard yoke on you, I will make it harder: my father gave you punishment with whips, but I will give you blows with snakes.

bbe@2Chronicles:10:14 @But gave them the answer put forward by the young men, saying, My father made your yoke hard, but I will make it harder; my father gave you punishment with whips, but I will give it with snakes.

bbe@2Chronicles:10:15 @So the king did not give ear to the people; for this came about by the purpose of God, so that the Lord might give effect to his word which he had said by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam, the son of Nebat.

bbe@2Chronicles:10:16 @And when all Israel saw that the king would give no attention to them, the people in answer said to the king, What part have we in David? what is our heritage in the son of Jesse? every man to your tents, O Israel; now see to your house, David. So all Israel went to their tents.

bbe@2Chronicles:11:13 @And the priests and Levites who were in all Israel came together to him from every part of their country.

bbe@2Chronicles:11:14 @For the Levites gave up their living-places and their property, and came to Judah and Jerusalem; for Jeroboam and his sons had sent them away, not letting them be priests to the Lord;

bbe@2Chronicles:11:20 @And after her he took Maacah, the daughter of Absalom; and she had Abijah and Attai and Ziza and Shelomith by him.

bbe@2Chronicles:11:22 @Rehoboam made Abijah, the son of Maacah, chief and ruler among his brothers, for it was his purpose to make him king.

bbe@2Chronicles:12:1 @Now when Rehoboam's position as king had been made certain, and he was strong, he gave up the law of the Lord, and all Israel with him.

bbe@2Chronicles:12:3 @With twelve hundred war-carriages and sixty thousand horsemen: and the people who came with him out of Egypt were more than might be numbered: Lubim and Sukkiim and Ethiopians.

bbe@2Chronicles:12:9 @So Shishak, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem and took away all the stored wealth of the house of the Lord and the king's house: he took everything away, and with the rest the gold body-covers which Solomon had made.

bbe@2Chronicles:12:11 @And whenever the king went into the house of the Lord, the armed men went with him taking the body-covers, and then took them back to their room.

bbe@2Chronicles:12:16 @And Rehoboam went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the town of David; and Abijah his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:13:3 @And Abijah went out to the fight with an army of men of war, four hundred thousand of his best men; and Jeroboam put his forces in line against him, eight hundred thousand of his best men of war.

bbe@2Chronicles:13:4 @And Abijah took up his position on Mount Zemaraim, in the hill-country of Ephraim, and said, Give ear to me, O Jeroboam and all Israel:

bbe@2Chronicles:13:5 @Is it not clear to you that the Lord, the God of Israel, gave the rule over Israel to David and to his sons for ever, by an agreement made with salt?

bbe@2Chronicles:13:7 @And certain foolish and good-for-nothing men were joined with him, and made themselves strong against Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, when he was young and untested and not able to keep them back.

bbe@2Chronicles:13:8 @And now it is your purpose to put yourselves against the authority which the Lord has put into the hands of the sons of David, and you are a very great number, and you have with you the gold oxen which Jeroboam made to be your gods.

bbe@2Chronicles:13:9 @And after driving out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron and the Levites, have you not made priests for yourselves as the people of other lands do? so that anyone who comes to make himself priest by offering an ox or seven sheep, may be a priest of those who are no gods.

bbe@2Chronicles:13:10 @But as for us, the Lord is our God, and we have not been turned away from him; we have priests who do the work of the Lord, even the sons of Aaron and the Levites in their places;

bbe@2Chronicles:13:11 @By whom burned offerings and perfumes are sent up in smoke before the Lord every morning and every evening; and they put out the holy bread on its table and the gold support for the lights with its lights burning every evening; for we keep the orders given to us by the Lord our God, but you have gone away from him.

bbe@2Chronicles:13:12 @And now God is with us at our head, and his priests with their loud horns sounding against you. O children of Israel, do not make war on the Lord, the God of your fathers, for it will not go well for you.

bbe@2Chronicles:13:17 @And Abijah and his people put them to death with great destruction: five hundred thousand of the best of Israel were put to the sword.

bbe@2Chronicles:13:18 @So at that time the children of Israel were overcome, and the children of Judah got the better of them, because they put their faith in the Lord, the God of their fathers.

bbe@2Chronicles:13:19 @And Abijah went after Jeroboam and took some of his towns, Beth-el with its small towns and Jeshanah with its small towns and Ephron with its small towns.

bbe@2Chronicles:14:1 @So Abijah went to rest with his fathers, and they put him into the earth in the town of David, and Asa his son became king in his place; in his time the land was quiet for ten years.

bbe@2Chronicles:14:7 @He said to Judah, Let us make these towns, building walls round them with towers and doors and locks. The land is still ours, because we have been true to the Lord our God; we have been true to him and he has given us rest on every side. So they went on building and all went well for them.

bbe@2Chronicles:14:8 @And Asa had an army of three hundred thousand men of Judah armed with body-covers and spears, and two hundred and eighty thousand of Benjamin armed with body-covers and bows; all these were men of war.

bbe@2Chronicles:14:9 @And Zerah the Ethiopian, with an army of a million, and three hundred war-carriages, came out against them to Mareshah.

bbe@2Chronicles:14:10 @And Asa went out against him, and they put their forces in position in the valley north of Mareshah.

bbe@2Chronicles:14:13 @And Asa and the people who were with him went after them as far as Gerar; and so great was the destruction among the Ethiopians that they were not able to get their army together again, for they were broken before the Lord and before his army; and they took away a great amount of their goods.

bbe@2Chronicles:15:1 @And the spirit of God came on Azariah, the son of Oded;

bbe@2Chronicles:15:2 @And he came face to face with Asa and said to him, Give ear to me, Asa and all Judah and Benjamin: the Lord is with you while you are with him; if your heart's desire is for him, he will be near you, but if you give him up, he will give you up.

bbe@2Chronicles:15:3 @Now for a long time Israel has been without the true God, and without a teaching priest and without the law;

bbe@2Chronicles:15:9 @And he got together all Judah and Benjamin and those of Ephraim and Manasseh and Simeon who were living with them; for numbers of them came to him out of Israel when they saw that the Lord his God was with him.

bbe@2Chronicles:15:12 @And they made an agreement to be true to the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and all their soul;

bbe@2Chronicles:15:14 @And they made an oath to the Lord, with a loud voice, sounding wind-instruments and horns.

bbe@2Chronicles:15:15 @And all Judah was glad because of the oath, for they had taken it with all their heart, turning to the Lord with all their desire; and he was with them and gave them rest on every side.

bbe@2Chronicles:16:3 @Let there be an agreement between me and you as there was between my father and your father: see, I have sent you silver and gold; go and put an end to your agreement with Baasha, king of Israel, so that he may give up attacking me.

bbe@2Chronicles:16:5 @Then Baasha, hearing of it, put a stop to the building of Ramah, and let his work come to an end.

bbe@2Chronicles:16:6 @Then King Asa, with all Judah, took away the stones and wood with which Baasha was building Ramah, and he made use of them for building Geba and Mizpah.

bbe@2Chronicles:16:7 @At that time Hanani the seer came to Asa, king of Judah, and said to him, Because you have put your faith in the king of Aram and not in the Lord your God, the army of the king of Aram has got away out of your hands.

bbe@2Chronicles:16:8 @Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubim a very great army, with war-carriages and horsemen more than might be numbered? but because your faith was in the Lord, he gave them up into your hands.

bbe@2Chronicles:16:9 @For the eyes of the Lord go this way and that, through all the earth, letting it be seen that he is the strong support of those whose hearts are true to him. In this you have done foolishly, for from now you will have wars.

bbe@2Chronicles:16:10 @Then Asa was angry with the seer, and put him in prison, burning with wrath against him because of this thing. And at the same time Asa was cruel to some of the people.

bbe@2Chronicles:16:13 @So Asa went to rest with his fathers, and death came to him in the forty-first year of his rule.

bbe@2Chronicles:17:3 @And the Lord was with Jehoshaphat, because he went in the early ways of his father, not turning to the Baals,

bbe@2Chronicles:17:8 @And with them, Shemaiah and Nethaniah and Zebadiah and Asahel and Shemiramoth and Jehonathan and Adonijah and Tobijah and Tob-adonijah, the Levites; and Elishama and Jehoram the priests.

bbe@2Chronicles:17:9 @And they gave teaching in Judah and had the book of the law of the Lord with them; they went through all the towns of Judah teaching the people.

bbe@2Chronicles:17:14 @This is the number of them, listed by their families, the captains of thousands of Judah: Adnah, the captain, and with him three hundred thousand men of war;

bbe@2Chronicles:17:15 @Second to him Jehohanan, the captain, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand;

bbe@2Chronicles:17:16 @After him Amasiah, the son of Zichri, who freely gave himself to the Lord, and with him two hundred thousand men of war;

bbe@2Chronicles:17:17 @And the captains of Benjamin: Eliada, a great man of war, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bows and body-covers;

bbe@2Chronicles:17:18 @And after him Jehozabad, and with him a hundred and eighty thousand trained for war.

bbe@2Chronicles:17:19 @These were the men who were waiting on the king, in addition to those placed by the king in the walled towns through all Judah.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:2 @And after some years he went down to Samaria to see Ahab. And Ahab made a feast for him and the people who were with him, putting to death great numbers of sheep and oxen; and he got Jehoshaphat to go with him to Ramoth-gilead.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:3 @For Ahab, king of Israel, said to Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, Will you go with me to Ramoth-gilead? And he said, I am as you are, and my people as your people; we will be with you in the war.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:5 @So the king of Israel got together all the prophets, four hundred men, and said to them, Am I to go to Ramoth-gilead to make war or not? And they said, Go up: for God will give it into the hands of the king.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:8 @Then the king of Israel sent for one of his unsexed servants and said, Go quickly and come back with Micaiah, the son of Imla.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:9 @Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, were seated on their seats of authority, dressed in their robes, by the doorway into Samaria; and all the prophets were acting as prophets before them.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:10 @And Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, made himself iron horns and said, The Lord says, Pushing back the Aramaeans with these, you will put an end to them completely

bbe@2Chronicles:18:11 @And all the prophets said the same thing, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and it will go well for you, for the Lord will give it into the hands of the king.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:12 @Now the servant who had gone to get Micaiah said to him, See now, all the prophets with one voice are saying good things to the king; so let your words be like theirs, and say good things.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:14 @When he came to the king, the king said to him, Micaiah, are we to go to Ramoth-gilead to make war or not? And he said, Go up, and it will go well for you; and they will be given up into your hands.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:16 @Then he said, I saw all Israel wandering on the mountains like sheep without a keeper; and the Lord said, These have no master: let them go back, every man to his house in peace.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:20 @Then a spirit came forward and took his place before the Lord and said, I will get him to do it by a trick. And the Lord said to him, How?

bbe@2Chronicles:18:21 @And he said, I will go out and be a spirit of deceit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said, Your trick will have its effect on him: go out and do so.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:22 @And now, see, the Lord has put a spirit of deceit in the mouth of these prophets of yours; and the Lord has said evil against you.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:23 @Then Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, came near and gave Micaiah a blow on the side of his face, saying, Where is the spirit of the Lord whose word is in you?

bbe@2Chronicles:18:31 @So when the captains of the war-carriages saw Jehoshaphat, they said, It is the king of Israel. And turning about, they came round him, but Jehoshaphat gave a cry, and the Lord came to his help, and God sent them away from him.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:33 @And a certain man sent an arrow from his bow without thought of its direction, and gave the king of Israel a wound where his breastplate was joined to his clothing; so he said to the driver of his war-carriage, Go to one side and take me away out of the army, for I am badly wounded.

bbe@2Chronicles:19:2 @And Jehu, the son of Hanani the seer, went to King Jehoshaphat and said to him, Is it right for you to go to the help of evil-doers, loving the haters of the Lord? because of this, the wrath of the Lord has come on you.

bbe@2Chronicles:19:6 @And said to the judges, Take care what you do, for you are judging not for man but for the Lord, and he is with you in the decisions you give.

bbe@2Chronicles:19:7 @So now let the fear of the Lord be in you; do your work with care; for in the Lord our God there is no evil, or respect for high position, or taking of payment to do wrong.

bbe@2Chronicles:19:8 @Then in Jerusalem he gave authority to certain of the Levites and the priests and the heads of families of Israel to give decisions for the Lord, and in the causes of those living in Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:19:9 @And he gave them their orders, saying, You are to do your work in the fear of the Lord, in good faith and with a true heart.

bbe@2Chronicles:19:11 @And now, Amariah, the chief priest, is over you in all questions to do with the Lord; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the head of the family of Judah, in everything to do with the king's business; and the Levites will be overseers for you. Be strong to do the work; and may the Lord be with the upright.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:1 @Now after this, the children of Moab and the children of Ammon, and with them some of the Meunim, made war against Jehoshaphat.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:2 @And they came to Jehoshaphat with the news, saying, A great army is moving against you from Edom across the sea; and now they are in Hazazon-tamar (which is En-gedi).

bbe@2Chronicles:20:3 @Then Jehoshaphat, in his fear, went to the Lord for directions, and gave orders all through Judah for the people to go without food.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:7 @Did you not, O Lord our God, after driving out the people of this land before your people Israel, give it to the seed of Abraham, your friend, for ever?

bbe@2Chronicles:20:8 @And they made it their living-place, building there a holy house for your name, and saying,

bbe@2Chronicles:20:11 @See now, how as our reward they have come to send us out of your land which you have given us as our heritage.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:13 @And all Judah were waiting before the Lord, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:14 @Then, before all the meeting, the spirit of the Lord came on Jahaziel, the son of Zechariah, son of Benaiah, son of Jeiel, son of Mattaniah, a Levite and one of the family of Asaph;

bbe@2Chronicles:20:16 @Go down against them tomorrow: see, they are coming up by the slope of Ziz; at the end of the valley, before the waste land of Jeruel, you will come face to face with them.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:17 @There will be no need for you to take up arms in this fight; put yourselves in position, and keep where you are, and you will see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: have no fear and do not be troubled: go out against them tomorrow, for the Lord is with you.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:18 @Then Jehoshaphat went down with his face to the earth, and all Judah and the people of Jerusalem gave worship to the Lord, falling down before him.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:19 @And the Levites, the children of the Kohathites and the Korahites, got to their feet and gave praise to the Lord, the God of Israel, with a loud voice.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:20 @And early in the morning they got up and went out to the waste land of Tekoa: and when they were going out, Jehoshaphat took his station and said to them, Give ear to me, O Judah and you people of Jerusalem: have faith in the Lord your God and you will be safe; have faith in his prophets and all will go well for you.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:21 @And after discussion with the people, he put in their places those who were to make melody to the Lord, praising him in holy robes, while they went at the head of the army, and saying, May the Lord be praised, for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:23 @And the children of Ammon and Moab made an attack on the people of Mount Seir with a view to their complete destruction; and when they had put an end to the people of Seir, everyman's hand was turned against his neighbour for his destruction.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:25 @And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take their goods from them, they saw beasts in great numbers, and wealth and clothing and things of value, more than they were able to take away; all this they took for themselves, and they were three days getting it away, there was so much.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:27 @Then all the men of Judah and Jerusalem went back, with Jehoshaphat at their head, coming back to Jerusalem with joy; for the Lord had made them glad over their haters.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:28 @So they came to Jerusalem with corded instruments and wind-instruments into the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:35 @After this Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, became friends with Ahaziah, king of Israel, who did much evil:

bbe@2Chronicles:20:37 @Then the word of Eliezer the prophet, the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah, came against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because you have let yourself be joined with Ahaziah, the Lord has sent destruction on your works. And the ships were broken and were not able to go to Tarshish.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:1 @And Jehoshaphat went to rest with his fathers, and his body was put into the earth in the town of David. And Jehoram his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:4 @Now when Jehoram had taken his place over his father's kingdom, and had made his position safe, he put all his brothers to death with the sword, as well as some of the princes of Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:7 @But it was not the Lord's purpose to send destruction on the family of David, because of the agreement he had made with David, when he said he would give to him and to his sons a light for ever.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:9 @Then Jehoram went over with his captains and all his war-carriages... made an attack by night on the Edomites, whose forces were all round him... on the captains of the war-carriages.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:10 @So Edom made themselves free from the rule of Judah, to this day: and at the same time Libnah made itself free from his rule; because he was turned away from the Lord, the God of his fathers.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:17 @And they came up against Judah, forcing a way into it, and took away all the goods in the king's house, as well as his sons and his wives; so that he had no son but only Jehoahaz, the youngest.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:18 @And after all this the Lord sent on him a disease of the stomach from which it was impossible for him to be made well.

bbe@2Chronicles:22:1 @And the people of Jerusalem made Ahaziah, his youngest son, king in his place, for the band of men who came with the Arabians to the army had put all the older sons to death. So Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, became king.

bbe@2Chronicles:22:5 @Acting on their suggestion, he went with Jehoram, son of Ahab, king of Israel, to make war on Hazael, king of Aram, at Ramoth-gilead: and Joram was wounded by the bowmen.

bbe@2Chronicles:22:7 @Now by the purpose of God, Ahaziah's journey to see Jehoram was the cause of his downfall: for when he came there, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu, the son of Nimshi, who had been marked out by the Lord for the destruction of the family of Ahab.

bbe@2Chronicles:22:12 @And she kept him safe with her in the house of God for six years, while Athaliah was ruling the land.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:1 @In the seventh year, Jehoiada made himself strong, and made an agreement with the captains of hundreds, Azariah, the son of Jeroham, Ishmael, the son of Jehohanan, Azariah, the son of Obed, Maaseiah, the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat, the son of Zichri.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:2 @And they went through Judah, getting together the Levites and the heads of families in Israel from all the towns of Judah, and they came to Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:3 @And all the people made an agreement with the king in the house of God. And he said to them, Truly, the king's son will be king, as the Lord has said about the sons of David.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:4 @This is what you are to do: let a third of you, of the priests and Levites, who come in on the Sabbath, keep the doors;

bbe@2Chronicles:23:5 @And a third are to be stationed at the king's house; and a third at the doorway of the horses: while all the people are waiting in the open spaces round the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:6 @But let no one come into the house of the Lord but only the priests and those of the Levites who have work to do there; they may go in for they are holy; but the rest of the people are to keep the orders of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:7 @And the Levites are to make a circle round the king, every man being armed; and any man who comes into the house is to be put to death; you are to keep with the king when he comes in and when he goes out.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:8 @So the Levites and all Judah did as Jehoiada the priest had given them orders: every one took with him his men, those who were to come in and those who were to go out on the Sabbath; for Jehoiada had not sent away the divisions.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:10 @And he put all the people in position, every man with his instruments of war in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left, by the altar and the house and all round the king.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:13 @And looking, she saw the king in his place by the pillar at the doorway, and the captains and the horns by his side; and all the people of the land were giving signs of joy and sounding the horns; and the makers of melody were playing on instruments of music, taking the chief part in the song of praise. Then Athaliah, violently parting her robes, said, Broken faith, broken faith!

bbe@2Chronicles:23:14 @Then Jehoiada the priest gave orders to the captains of hundreds who had authority over the army, saying, Take her outside the lines, and let anyone who goes after her be put to death with the sword. For the priest said, Let her not be put to death in the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:17 @Then all the people went to the house of Baal and had it pulled down, and its altars and images broken up; and Mattan, the priest of Baal, they put to death before the altars.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:18 @And Jehoiada put the work and the care of the house of the Lord into the hands of the priests and the Levites, who had been grouped in divisions by David to make burned offerings to the Lord, as it is recorded in the law of Moses, with joy and song as David had said

bbe@2Chronicles:23:20 @Then he took the captains of hundreds and the chiefs and the rulers of the people and all the people of the land, and they came down with the king from the house of the Lord through the higher doorway into the king's house, and put the king on the seat of the kingdom.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:21 @So all the people of the land were glad and the town was quiet, for they had put Athaliah to death with the sword.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:5 @And getting together the priests and Levites, he said to them, Go out into the towns of Judah year by year, and get from all Israel money to keep the house of your God in good condition; and see that this is done without loss of time. The Levites, however, were slow in doing so.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:6 @Then the king sent for Jehoiada, the chief priest, and said to him, Why have you not given the Levites orders that the tax fixed by Moses, the servant of the Lord, and by the meeting of Israel, for the Tent of witness, is to be got in from Judah and Jerusalem and handed over?

bbe@2Chronicles:24:7 @For the house of the Lord had been broken up by Athaliah, that evil woman, and her sons; and all its holy things they had given to the Baals.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:8 @So at the king's order they made a chest and put it outside the doorway of the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:11 @So when the chest was taken to the king's servants by the Levites, and they saw that there was much money in it, the king's scribe and the chief priest's servant took the money out, and put the chest back in its place. They did this day by day, and got together a great amount of money.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:12 @Then the king and Jehoiada gave it to those who were responsible for getting the work done on the Lord's house, and with it they got wall-builders and woodworkers and metal-workers to put the house of the Lord in good order again.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:13 @So the workmen did their work, making good what was damaged and building up the house of God till it was strong and beautiful again.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:14 @And when the work was done, they took the rest of the money to the king and Jehoiada, and it was used for making the vessels for the house of the Lord, all the vessels needed for the offerings, the spoons and the vessels of gold and silver. And as long as Jehoiada was living, the regular burned offerings were offered in the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:19 @And the Lord sent them prophets to make them come back to him; and they gave witness against them, but they would not give ear.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:20 @Then the spirit of God came on Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada the priest, and, getting up before the people, he said to them, God has said, Why do you go against the orders of the Lord, so that everything goes badly for you? because you have given up the Lord, he has given you up

bbe@2Chronicles:24:21 @But when they had made a secret design against him, he was stoned with stones, by the king's order, in the outer square of the Lord's house.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:22 @So King Joash did not keep in mind how good Jehoiada his father had been to him, but put his son to death. And in the hour of his death he said, May the Lord see it and take payment!

bbe@2Chronicles:24:25 @And when they had gone away from him, (for he was broken with disease,) his servants made a secret design against him because of the blood of the son of Jehoiada the priest, and they put him to death on his bed; and they put his body into the earth in the town of David, but not in the resting-place of the kings.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:26 @Those who made designs against him were Zabad, the son of Shimeath, an Ammonite woman, and Jehozabad, the son of Shimrith, a Moabite woman.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:7 @But a man of God came to him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with you; for the Lord is not with Israel, that is, the children of Ephraim.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:10 @So Amaziah, separating the armed band which had come to him from Ephraim, sent them back again; which made them very angry with Judah, and they went back burning with wrath.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:13 @But the men of the band which Amaziah sent back and did not take with him to the fight, made attacks on the towns of Judah from Samaria to Beth-horon, putting to death three thousand of their people and taking away a great store of their goods.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:14 @Now when Amaziah came back from the destruction of the Edomites, he took the gods of the children of Seir and made them his gods, worshipping them and burning offerings before them.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:16 @But while he was talking to him the king said to him, Have we made you one of the king's government? say no more, or it will be the cause of your death. Then the prophet gave up protesting, and said, It is clear to me that God's purpose is your destruction, because you have done this and have not given ear to my words.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:19 @You say, See, I have overcome Edom; and your heart is lifted up with pride: now keep in your country; why do you make causes of trouble, putting yourself, and Judah with you, in danger of downfall?

bbe@2Chronicles:25:23 @And Joash, king of Israel, made Amaziah, king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, prisoner at Beth-shemesh, and took him to Jerusalem; and he had the wall of Jerusalem pulled down from the doorway of Ephraim to the doorway in the angle, four hundred cubits.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:24 @And he took all the gold and silver and all the vessels which were in the house of the Lord, under the care of Obed-edom, and all the wealth from the king's house, as well as those whose lives would be the price of broken faith, and went back to Samaria.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:28 @And they took his body on horseback and put it into the earth with his fathers in the town of David.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:8 @The Ammonites gave offerings to Uzziah: and news of him went out as far as the limit of Egypt; for he became very great in power.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:11 @In addition, Uzziah had an army of fighting-men who went out to war in bands, as they had been listed by Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the ruler, under the authority of Hananiah, one of the king's captains

bbe@2Chronicles:26:14 @And Uzziah had all these forces armed with body-covers and spears and head-covers and coats of metal and bows and stones for sending from leather bands.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:17 @And Azariah the priest went in after him, with eighty of the Lord's priests, who were strong men;

bbe@2Chronicles:26:18 @And they made protests to Uzziah the king, and said to him, The burning of perfumes, Uzziah, is not your business but that of the priests, the sons of Aaron, who have been made holy for this work: go out of the holy place, for you have done wrong, and it will not be to your honour before God.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:19 @Then Uzziah was angry; and he had in his hand a vessel for burning perfume; and while his wrath was bitter against the priests, the mark of the leper's disease came out on his brow, before the eyes of the priests in the house of the Lord by the altar of perfumes.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:23 @So Uzziah went to rest with his fathers; and they put his body into the earth in the field used for the resting-place of the kings, for they said, He is a leper: and Jotham his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:27:4 @In addition, he made towns in the hill-country of Judah, and strong buildings and towers in the woodlands.

bbe@2Chronicles:27:5 @He went to war with the king of the children of Ammon and overcame them. That year, the children of Ammon gave him a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of grain and ten thousand measures of barley. And the children of Ammon gave him the same amount the second year and the third.

bbe@2Chronicles:27:9 @And Jotham went to rest with his fathers, and they put his body into the earth in the town of David; and Ahaz his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:7 @And Zichri, a great fighting-man of Ephraim, put to death Maaseiah, the king's son, and Azrikam, the controller of his house, and Elkanah, who was second in authority to the king.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:9 @But a prophet of the Lord was there, named Oded; and he went out in front of the army which was coming into Samaria and said to them, Truly, because the Lord, the God of your fathers, was angry with Judah, he gave them up into your hands, and you have put them to death in an outburst of wrath stretching up to heaven.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:15 @And those men who have been named went up and took the prisoners, clothing those among them who were uncovered, with things from the goods which had been taken in the war, and putting robes on them and shoes on their feet; and they gave them food and drink and oil for their bodies, and seating all the feeble among them on asses, they took them to Jericho, the town of palm-trees, to their people, and then went back to Samaria

bbe@2Chronicles:28:17 @For the Edomites had come again, attacking Judah and taking away prisoners.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:18 @And the Philistines, forcing their way into the towns of the lowlands and the south of Judah, had taken Beth-shemesh and Aijalon and Gederoth and Soco, with their daughter-towns, as well as Timnah and Gimzo and their daughter-towns, and were living there.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:21 @For Ahaz took a part of the wealth from the house of the Lord, and from the house of the king and of the great men, and gave it to the king of Assyria; but it was no help to him.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:27 @And Ahaz went to rest with his fathers, and they put his body into the earth in Jerusalem; but they did not put him in the resting-place of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:4 @And he sent for the priests and the Levites, and got them together in the wide place on the east side,

bbe@2Chronicles:29:5 @And said to them, Give ear to me, O Levites: now make yourselves holy, and make holy the house of the Lord, the God of your fathers, and take away everything unclean from the holy place.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:9 @For see, our fathers have been put to death with the sword, and our sons and daughters and wives have been taken away prisoners because of this.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:10 @Now it is my purpose to make an agreement with the Lord, the God of Israel, so that the heat of his wrath may be turned away from us.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:12 @Then the Levites took their places; Mahath, the son of Amasai, and Joel, the son of Azariah, among the Kohathites; and of the sons of Merari, Kish, the son of Abdi, and Azariah, the son of Jehallelel; and of the Gershonites, Joah, the son of Zimmah, and Eden, the son of Joah;

bbe@2Chronicles:29:16 @And the priests went into the inner part of the house of the Lord to make it clean, and everything unclean which was to be seen in the Temple of the Lord they took out into the outer square of the Lord's house, and the Levites got it together and took it away to the stream Kidron.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:18 @Then they went in to King Hezekiah and said, We have made all the house of the Lord clean, as well as the altar of burned offerings with all its vessels, and the table for the holy bread, with all its vessels.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:21 @And they took with them seven oxen and seven male sheep and seven lambs and seven he-goats as a sin-offering for the kingdom and for the holy house and for Judah. And he gave orders to the sons of Aaron, the priests, that these were to be offered on the altar of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:24 @And the priests put them to death, and made a sin-offering with their blood on the altar, to take away the sin of all Israel: for the king gave orders that the burned offering and the sin-offering were for all Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:25 @Then he put the Levites in their places in the house of the Lord, with brass and corded instruments of music as ordered by David and Gad, the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet: for the order was the Lord's, given by his prophets.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:26 @So the Levites took their places with David's instruments, and the priests with their horns.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:27 @And Hezekiah gave the word for the burned offering to be offered on the altar. And when the burned offering was started, then the song of the Lord was started, with the blowing of horns and with all the instruments of David, king of Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:29 @And at the end of the offering, the king and all who were present with him gave worship with bent heads.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:30 @Then King Hezekiah and the captains gave orders to the Levites to give praise to God in the words of David and Asaph the seer. And they made songs of praise with joy, and with bent heads gave worship.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:34 @There were not enough priests for the work of cutting up all the burned offerings; so their brothers the Levites gave them help till the work was done and the priests had made themselves holy: for the Levites were more upright in heart to make themselves holy than the priests.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:35 @And there was a great amount of burned offerings, with the fat of the peace-offerings and the drink offerings for every burned offering. So the work of the Lord's house was put in order.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:2 @For the king, after discussion with his chiefs and all the body of the people in Jerusalem, had made a decision to keep the Passover in the second month.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:3 @It was not possible to keep it at that time, because not enough priests had made themselves holy, and the people had not come together in Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:5 @So it was ordered that word was to be sent out through all Israel, from Beer-sheba to Dan, that they were to come to keep the Passover to the Lord, the God of Israel, at Jerusalem: because they had not kept it in great numbers in agreement with the law.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:6 @So runners went with letters from the king and his chiefs through all Israel and Judah, by the order of the king, saying, O children of Israel, come back again to the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, so that he may come again to that small band of you which has been kept safe out of the hands of the kings of Assyria.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:9 @For if you come back to the Lord, those who took away your brothers and your children will have pity on them, and let them come back to this land: for the Lord your God is full of grace and mercy, and his face will not be turned away from you if you come back to him.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:15 @Then on the fourteenth day of the second month they put the Passover lambs to death: and the priests and the Levites were shamed, and made themselves holy and took burned offerings into the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:16 @And they took their places in their right order, as it was ordered in the law of Moses, the man of God: the priests draining out on the altar the blood given them by the Levites.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:17 @For there were still a number of the people there who had not made themselves holy: so the Levites had to put Passover lambs to death for those who were not clean, to make them holy to the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:19 @Who, with all his heart, is turned to God the Lord, the God of his fathers, even if he has not been made clean after the rules of the holy place

bbe@2Chronicles:30:21 @So the children of Israel who were present in Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread for seven days with great joy: and the Levites and the priests gave praise to the Lord day by day, making melody to the Lord with loud instruments.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:22 @And Hezekiah said kind words to the Levites who were expert in the ordering of the worship of the Lord: so they kept the feast for seven days, offering peace-offerings and praising the Lord, the God of their fathers.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:23 @And by the desire of all the people, the feast went on for another seven days, and they kept the seven days with joy.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:25 @And all the people of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and those who had come from Israel, and men from other lands who had come from Israel or who were living in Judah, were glad with great joy.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:27 @Then the priests and the Levites gave the people a blessing: and the voice of their prayer went up to the holy place of God in heaven.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:2 @Then Hezekiah put in order the divisions of the priests and Levites, every man in his division, in relation to his work, for the burned offerings and peace-offerings, and for the ordering of worship and for giving praise at the doors of the Lord's house.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:3 @And he gave the king's part of his private property for the burned offerings, that is, for the morning and evening offerings, and the offerings for the Sabbath and the new moons and the regular feasts, as it is recorded in the law of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:4 @In addition, he gave orders to the people of Jerusalem to give to the priests and Levites that part which was theirs by right, so that they might be strong in keeping the law of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:5 @And when the order was made public, straight away the children of Israel gave, in great amounts, the first-fruits of their grain and wine and oil and honey, and of the produce of their fields; and they took in a tenth part of everything, a great store.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:6 @And the children of Israel and Judah, who were living in the towns of Judah came with the tenth part of their oxen and sheep, and a tenth of all the holy things which were to be given to the Lord their God, and put them in great masses.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:9 @Then Hezekiah put questions to the priests and Levites about the store of goods.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:10 @And Azariah, the chief priest, of the family of Zadok, said in answer, From the time when the people first came with their offerings into the house of the Lord, we have had food enough, and more than enough: for the blessing of the Lord is on his people; and there is this great store which has not been used.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:12 @And in them they put all the offerings and the tenths and the holy things, keeping nothing back, and over them was Conaniah the Levite, with Shimei his brother second to him.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:14 @And Kore, the son of Imnah the Levite, the keeper of the east door, had control of the offerings freely given to God, and the distribution of the offerings of the Lord and the most holy things.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:15 @And under him were Eden and Miniamin and Jeshua and Shemaiah and Amariah and Shecaniah, in the towns of the priests, who were made responsible for giving it to all their brothers, by divisions, to small and great:

bbe@2Chronicles:31:16 @As well as to all the males, of three years old and over, listed by their families, who went into the house of the Lord to do what was needed day by day, for their special work with their divisions.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:17 @And the families of the priests were listed by their fathers' names, but the Levites, of twenty years old and over, were listed in relation to their work in their divisions;

bbe@2Chronicles:31:18 @And in the lists were all their little ones and their wives and their sons and daughters, through all the people: they made themselves holy in the positions which they were given.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:19 @And as for the sons of Aaron, the priests, living in the country on the outskirts of their towns, every different town there were men, marked out by name, to give their part of the goods to all the males among the priests, and to all who were listed among the Levites.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:21 @And for everything he undertook, in connection with the work of the house of God and his law and orders, he got directions from God and did it with serious purpose; and things went well for him

bbe@2Chronicles:32:1 @Now after these things and this true-hearted work, Sennacherib, king of Assyria, came into Judah, and put his army in position before the walled towns of Judah, designing to make his way into them by force.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:3 @He took up with his rulers and men of war the question of stopping up the water-springs outside the town; and they gave him their support.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:5 @Then he took heart, building up the wall where it was broken down, and making its towers higher, and building another wall outside; and he made strong the Millo in the town of David, and got together a great store of all sorts of instruments of war.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:7 @Be strong and take heart; have no fear, and do not be troubled on account of the king of Assyria and all the great army with him: for there is a greater with us.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:8 @With him is an arm of flesh; but we have the Lord our God, helping us and fighting for us. And the people put their faith in what Hezekiah, king of Judah, said.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:9 @After this, Sennacherib, king of Assyria, sent his servants to Jerusalem (at that time he was stationed with all his army in front of Lachish), to say to Hezekiah and all the men of Judah in Jerusalem,

bbe@2Chronicles:32:10 @Sennacherib, king of Assyria, says, In what are you placing your hope, waiting here in the walled town of Jerusalem?

bbe@2Chronicles:32:11 @Is it not Hezekiah who has got you to do it, causing your death from need of food and water, by saying, The Lord our God will give us salvation out of the hands of the king of Assyria?

bbe@2Chronicles:32:12 @Has not this same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars, saying to Judah and Jerusalem, Give worship before one altar only, burning offerings on it?

bbe@2Chronicles:32:14 @Who was there among all the gods of those nations, which my fathers put to destruction, who was able to keep his people safe from my hands? and is it possible that your God will keep you safe from my hands?

bbe@2Chronicles:32:15 @So do not be tricked by Hezekiah or let him get you to do this, and do not put any faith in what he says: for no god of any nation or kingdom has been able to keep his people safe from my hands, or the hands of my fathers: how much less will your God keep you safe from my hands!

bbe@2Chronicles:32:17 @And he sent letters, in addition, to put shame on the Lord, the God of Israel, and to say evil against him, saying, As the gods of the nations of other lands have not been able to keep their people safe from my hands, no more will the God of Hezekiah keep his people safe from my hands.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:18 @These things they said, crying out with a loud voice in the Jews' language, to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, with the purpose of troubling them and putting fear into them, so that they might take the town;

bbe@2Chronicles:32:21 @And the Lord sent an angel who put to death all the men of war and the chiefs and the captains in the army of the king of Assyria. So he went back to his country in shame. And when he came into the house of his god, his sons, the offspring of his body, put him to death there with the sword.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:23 @And great numbers came to Jerusalem with offerings for the Lord, and things of great price for Hezekiah, king of Judah: so that he was honoured among all nations from that time

bbe@2Chronicles:32:30 @It was Hezekiah who had the higher spring of the water of Gihon stopped, and the water taken down on the west side of the town of David. In everything he undertook, Hezekiah did well.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:33 @So Hezekiah went to rest with his fathers, and they put his body into the higher part of the resting-places of the sons of David: and all Judah and the people of Jerusalem gave him honour at his death. And Manasseh his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:33:6 @More than this, he made his children go through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom; and he made use of secret arts, and signs for reading the future, and unnatural powers, and gave positions to those who had control of spirits and to wonder-workers: he did much evil in the eyes of the Lord, moving him to wrath.

bbe@2Chronicles:33:16 @And he put the altar of the Lord in order, offering peace-offerings and praise-offerings on it, and said that all Judah were to be servants of the Lord, the God of Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:33:20 @So Manasseh went to rest with his fathers, and they put his body to rest in his house, and Amon his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:2 @And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, walking in the ways of his father David, without turning to the right hand or to the left.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:9 @And they came to Hilkiah, the chief priest, and gave him all the money which had been taken into the house of God, which the Levites, the keepers of the door, had got from Manasseh and Ephraim and those of Israel who had not been taken away as prisoners, and from all Judah and Benjamin and the people of Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:10 @And they gave it to the overseers of the work of the Lord's house, and the overseers gave it to the workmen working in the house, for building it up and making good what was damaged;

bbe@2Chronicles:34:12 @And the men did the work well; and those who had authority over them were Jahath and Obadiah, Levites of the sons of Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, who were to be responsible for seeing that the work was done; and others of the Levites, who were expert with instruments of music,

bbe@2Chronicles:34:13 @Had authority over the transport workers, giving directions to all who were doing any sort of work; and among the Levites there were scribes and overseers and door-keepers.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:17 @They have taken out all the money which was in the Lord's house and have given it to the overseers and to the workmen.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:18 @Then Shaphan the scribe said to the king, Hilkiah the priest has given me a book; and he made a start at reading some of it to the king.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:19 @And the king, hearing the words of the law, took his robe in his hands, violently parting it as a sign of his grief.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:22 @So Hilkiah, and those whom the king sent, went to Huldah the woman prophet, the wife of Shallum, the son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, the keeper of the robes (now she was living in Jerusalem, in the second part of the town); and they had talk with her about this thing.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:24 @These are the words of the Lord: See, I will send evil on this place and on its people, even all the curses in the book which they have been reading before the king of Judah;

bbe@2Chronicles:34:27 @And your heart was soft, and you made yourself low before God, on hearing his words about this place and its people, and with weeping and signs of grief have made yourself low before me, I have given ear to you, says the Lord God.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:28 @See, I will let you go to your fathers, and be put in your last resting-place in peace, and your eyes will not see all the evil which I will send on this place and on its people. So they took this news back to the king.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:30 @And the king went up to the house of the Lord, with all the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem, and the priests and the Levites and all the people, small and great; and they were present at his reading of the book of the law which had come to light in the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:31 @Then the king, taking his place by the pillar, made an agreement before the Lord, to go in the way of the Lord, and to keep his orders and his decisions and his rules with all his heart and with all his soul, and to keep the words of the agreement recorded in this book.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:32 @And he made all the people in Jerusalem and Benjamin give their word to keep it. And the people of Jerusalem kept the agreement of God, the God of their fathers.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:3 @And he said to the Levites, the teachers of all Israel, who were holy to the Lord, See, the holy ark is in the house which Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel, made; it will no longer have to be transported on your backs: now be the servants of the Lord your God and his people Israel,

bbe@2Chronicles:35:4 @And make yourselves ready in your divisions, by your families, as it is ordered in the writings of David, king of Israel, and of Solomon his son;

bbe@2Chronicles:35:5 @And take your positions in the holy place, grouped in the families of your brothers, the children of the people, and for every division let there be a part of a family of the Levites.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:6 @And put the Passover lamb to death, and make yourselves holy, and make it ready for your brothers, so that the orders given by the Lord through Moses may be done.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:8 @And his captains freely gave an offering to the people, the priests, and the Levites. Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, the rulers of the house of God, gave to the priests for the Passover offerings two thousand, six hundred small cattle and three hundred oxen.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:9 @And Conaniah and Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brothers, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, the chiefs of the Levites, gave to the Levites for the Passover offerings five thousand small cattle and five hundred oxen.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:10 @So everything was made ready and the priests took their places with the Levites in their divisions, as the king had said.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:11 @And they put the Passover lambs to death, the blood being drained out by the priests when it was given to them, and the Levites did the skinning.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:12 @And they took away the burned offerings, so that they might give them to be offered to the Lord for the divisions of the families of the people, as it is recorded in the book of Moses. And they did the same with the oxen.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:13 @And the Passover lamb was cooked over the fire, as it says in the law; and the holy offerings were cooked in pots and basins and vessels, and taken quickly to all the people.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:14 @And after that, they made ready for themselves and for the priests; for the priests, the sons of Aaron, were offering the burned offerings and the fat till night; so the Levites made ready what was needed for themselves and for the priests, the sons of Aaron.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:15 @And the sons of Asaph, the makers of melody, were in their places, as ordered by David and Asaph and Heman and Jeduthun, the king's seer; and the door-keepers were stationed at every door: there was no need for them to go away from their places, for their brothers the Levites made ready for them.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:18 @No Passover like it had been kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; and not one of the kings of Israel had ever kept a Passover like the one kept by Josiah and the priests and the Levites and all those of Judah and Israel who were present, and the people of Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:21 @But he sent representatives to him, saying, What have I to do with you, O king of Judah? I have not come against you this day, but against those with whom I am at war; and God has given me orders to go forward quickly: keep out of God's way, for he is with me, or he will send destruction on you.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:25 @And Jeremiah made a song of grief for Josiah; and to this day Josiah is named by all the makers of melody, men and women, in their songs of grief; they made it a rule in Israel; and the songs are recorded among the songs of grief.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:26 @Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and the good he did, in keeping with what is recorded in the law 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:36:15 @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:36:19 @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:1:3 @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:1:6 @And all their neighbours gave them help with offerings of vessels of silver and gold and goods and beasts and things of great value, in addition to what was freely offered.

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:2:2 @Who went with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Seraiah, Reelaiah, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispar, Bigvai, Rehum, Baanah, The number of the men of the people of Israel:

bbe@Ezra:2:40 @The Levites: the children of Jeshua and Kadmiel, of the children of Hodaviah, seventy-four.

bbe@Ezra:2:42 @The children of the door-keepers: the children of Shallum, the children of Ater, the children of Talmon, the children of Akkub, the children of Hatita, the children of Shobai, a hundred and thirty-nine.

bbe@Ezra:2:59 @And these were the people who went up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addan, and Immer. But having no knowledge of their fathers' families or offspring, it was not certain that they were Israelites;

bbe@Ezra:2:61 @And of the children of the priests: the children of Habaiah, the children of Hakkoz, the children of Barzillai, who was married to one of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and took their name.

bbe@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:2:70 @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:3:2 @Then Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and his brothers the priests, and Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, with his brothers, got up and made the altar of the God of Israel for burned offerings as is recorded in the law of Moses, the man of God.

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:3:4 @And they kept the feast of tents, as it is recorded, making the regular burned offerings every day by number, as it is ordered; for every day what was needed.

bbe@Ezra:3:6 @From the first day of the seventh month they made a start with the burned offerings, but the base of the Temple of the Lord had still not been put in its place.

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:3:10 @And when the builders put in position the base of the Temple of the Lord, the priests, dressed in their robes, took their places with horns, and the Levites, the sons of Asaph, with brass instruments, to give praise to the Lord in the way ordered by David, king of Israel

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:3:13 @So that in the ears of the people the cry of joy was mixed with the sound of weeping; for the cries of the people were loud and came to the ears of those who were a long way off.

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:4:4 @Then the people of the land made the hands of the people of Judah feeble, troubling them with fear in their building;

bbe@Ezra:4:7 @And in the time of Artaxerxes, Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of his friends, sent a letter to Artaxerxes, king of Persia, writing it in the Aramaean writing and language.

bbe@Ezra:4:9 @The letter was sent by Rehum, the chief ruler, and Shimshai the scribe and their friends; the Dinaites and the Apharsathchites, the Tarpelites, the Apharsites, the Archevites, the Babylonians, the Shushanchites, the Dehaites, the Elamites,

bbe@Ezra:4:13 @The king may be certain that when the building of this town and its walls is complete, they will give no tax or payment in goods or forced payments, and in the end it will be a cause of loss to the kings.

bbe@Ezra:4:14 @Now because we are responsible to the king, and it is not right for us to see the king's honour damaged, we have sent to give the king word of these things,

bbe@Ezra:4:15 @So that search may be made in the book of the records of your fathers: and you will see in the book of the records that this town has been uncontrolled, and a cause of trouble to kings and countries, and that there were outbursts against authority there in the past: for which reason the town was made waste.

bbe@Ezra:4:16 @We give you word, that if the building of this town and its walls is made complete, there will be an end of your power in the country across the river.

bbe@Ezra:4:19 @And I gave orders for a search to be made, and it is certain that in the past this town has made trouble for kings, and that outbursts against authority have taken place there.

bbe@Ezra:4:22 @Be certain to do this with all care: do not let trouble be increased to the king's damage.

bbe@Ezra:4:24 @So the work of the house of God at Jerusalem came to an end; so it was stopped, till the second year of the rule of Darius, king of Persia.

bbe@Ezra:5:2 @Then Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, got up and made a start at building the house of God at Jerusalem: and the prophets of God were with them, helping them.

bbe@Ezra:5:5 @But the eye of their God was on the chiefs of the Jews, and they did not make them give up working till the question had been put before Darius and an answer had come by letter about it.

bbe@Ezra:5:6 @This is a copy of the letter which Tattenai, the ruler of the land across the river, and Shethar-bozenai and his friends the Apharsachites, living across the river, sent to Darius the king:

bbe@Ezra:5:8 @This is to give the king word that we went into the land of Judah, to the house of the great God, which is made of great stones, and has its walls supported with wood, and the work is going on with industry, and they are doing it well.

bbe@Ezra:5:9 @Then we said to the men responsible, who gave you authority for the building of this house and these walls?

bbe@Ezra:5:15 @And he said to him, Go, take these vessels, and put them in the Temple in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be put up again in its place.

bbe@Ezra:5:16 @Then this same Sheshbazzar came and put the house of God in Jerusalem on its bases: and from that time till now the building has been going on, but it is still not complete.

bbe@Ezra:5:17 @So now, if it seems good to the king, let search be made in the king's store-house at Babylon, to see if it is true that an order was given by Cyrus the king for the building of this house of God at Jerusalem, and let the king send us word of his pleasure in connection with this business.

bbe@Ezra:6:3 @In the first year of Cyrus the king, Cyrus the king made an order: In connection with the house of God at Jerusalem, let the house be put up, the place where they make offerings, and let the earth for the bases be put in place; let it be sixty cubits high and sixty cubits wide;

bbe@Ezra:6:4 @With three lines of great stones and one line of new wood supports; and let the necessary money be given out of the king's store-house;

bbe@Ezra:6:5 @And let the gold and silver vessels from the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took from the Temple at Jerusalem to Babylon, be given back and taken again to the Temple at Jerusalem, every one in its place, and put them in the house of God.

bbe@Ezra:6:6 @So now, Tattenai, ruler of the land across the river, and Shethar-bozenai and your people the Apharsachites across the river, keep far from that place:

bbe@Ezra:6:7 @Let the work of this house of God go on; let the ruler of the Jews and their responsible men put up this house of God in its place.

bbe@Ezra:6:8 @Further, I give orders as to what you are to do for the responsible men of the Jews in connection with the building of this house of God: that from the king's wealth, that is, from the taxes got together in the land over the river, the money needed is to be given to these men readily, so that their work may not be stopped.

bbe@Ezra:6:10 @So that they may make offerings of a sweet smell to the God of heaven, with prayers for the life of the king and of his sons.

bbe@Ezra:6:11 @And I have given orders that if anyone makes any change in this word, one of the supports is to be pulled out of his house, and he is to be lifted up and fixed to it; and his house is to be made waste for this;

bbe@Ezra:6:12 @And may the God who has made it a resting-place for his name send destruction on all kings and peoples whose hands are outstretched to make any change in this or to do damage to this house of God at Jerusalem. I, Darius, have given this order, let it be done with all care.

bbe@Ezra:6:13 @Then Tattenai, the ruler across the river, and Shethar-bozenai and their people, because of the order given by King Darius, did as he had said with all care.

bbe@Ezra:6:14 @And the responsible men of the Jews went on with their building, and did well, helped by the teaching of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah, the son of Iddo

bbe@Ezra:6:16 @And the children of Israel, the priests and the Levites, and the rest of those who had come back, kept the feast of the opening of this house of God with joy.

bbe@Ezra:6:18 @And they put the priests in their divisions and the Levites in their order, for the worship of God at Jerusalem; as it is recorded in the book of Moses.

bbe@Ezra:6:20 @For the priests and the Levites had made themselves clean together; they were all clean: and they put the Passover lamb to death for all those who had come back, and for their brothers the priests and for themselves.

bbe@Ezra:6:22 @And kept the feast of unleavened bread for seven days with joy: for the Lord had made them full of joy, by turning the heart of the king of Assyria to them to give them help in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.

bbe@Ezra:7:2 @The son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub,

bbe@Ezra:7:7 @And some of the children of Israel went up, with some of the priests and the Levites and the music-makers and the door-keepers and the Nethinim, to Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.

bbe@Ezra:7:10 @For Ezra had given his mind to learning the law of the Lord and doing it, and to teaching his rules and decisions in Israel.

bbe@Ezra:7:11 @Now this is a copy of the letter which King Artaxerxes gave to Ezra, the priest and the scribe, who put into writing the words of the orders of the Lord, and of his rules for Israel:

bbe@Ezra:7:13 @And now it is my order that all those of the people of Israel, and their priests and Levites in my kingdom, who are ready and have a desire to go to Jerusalem, are to go with you.

bbe@Ezra:7:15 @And to take with you the silver and gold freely offered by the king and his wise men to the God of Israel, whose Temple is in Jerusalem,

bbe@Ezra:7:16 @As well as all the silver and gold which you get from the land of Babylon, together with the offering of the people and of the priests, freely given for the house of their God, which is in Jerusalem:

bbe@Ezra:7:17 @So with this money get with care oxen, sheep, and lambs, with their meal offerings and their drink offerings, to be offered on the altar of the house of your God, which is in Jerusalem.

bbe@Ezra:7:18 @And whatever seems right to you and to your brothers to do with the rest of the silver and gold, that do, as may be pleasing to your God.

bbe@Ezra:7:20 @And whatever more is needed for the house of your God, and which you may have to give, take it from the king's store-house.

bbe@Ezra:7:21 @And I, even I, Artaxerxes the king, now give orders to all keepers of the king's money across the river, that whatever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, may have need of from you, is to be done with all care,

bbe@Ezra:7:22 @Up to a hundred talents of silver, a hundred measures of grain, a hundred measures of wine, and a hundred measures of oil, and salt without measure.

bbe@Ezra:7:23 @Whatever is ordered by the God of heaven, let it be done completely for the house of the God of heaven; so that there may not be wrath against the kingdom of the king and his sons.

bbe@Ezra:7:24 @In addition, we make it clear to you, that it will be against the law to put any tax or payment in goods or forced payment on any of the priests or Levites, the music-makers, door-keepers, Nethinim, or any servants of this house of God.

bbe@Ezra:7:25 @And you, Ezra, by the wisdom of your God which is in you, are to put rulers and judges to have authority over all the people across the river who have knowledge of the laws of your God; and you are to give teaching to him who has no knowledge of them.

bbe@Ezra:7:28 @And has given mercy to me before the king and his government and before all the king's great captains. And I was made strong by the hand of the Lord my God which was on me, and I got together out of Israel chief men to go up with me.

bbe@Ezra:8:1 @Now these are the heads of families who were listed of those who went up with me from Babylon, when Artaxerxes was king.

bbe@Ezra:8:2 @Of the sons of Phinehas, Gershom; of the sons of Ithamar, Daniel; of the sons of David, Hattush;

bbe@Ezra:8:3 @Of the sons of Shecaniah; of the sons of Parosh, Zechariah; and with him were listed a hundred and fifty males.

bbe@Ezra:8:4 @Of the sons of Pahath-moab, Eliehoenai, the son of Zerahiah; and with him two hundred males.

bbe@Ezra:8:5 @Of the sons of Shecaniah, the son of Jahaziel; and with him three hundred males.

bbe@Ezra:8:6 @And of the sons of Adin, Ebed, the son of Jonathan; and with him fifty males.

bbe@Ezra:8:7 @And of the sons of Elam, Jeshaiah; the son of Athaliah; and with him seventy males.

bbe@Ezra:8:8 @And of the sons of Shephatiah, Zebadiah, the son of Michael; and with him eighty males.

bbe@Ezra:8:9 @Of the sons of Joab, Obadiah, the son of Jehiel; and with him two hundred and eighteen males.

bbe@Ezra:8:10 @And of the sons of Shelomith, the son of Josiphiah; and with him a hundred and sixty males.

bbe@Ezra:8:11 @And of the sons of Bebai, Zechariah, the son of Bebai; and with him twenty-eight males.

bbe@Ezra:8:12 @And of the sons of Azgad, Johanan, the son of Hakkatan; and with him a hundred and ten males.

bbe@Ezra:8:13 @And of the sons of Adonikam, the last, whose names were Eliphelet, Jeuel, and Shemaiah; and with them sixty males.

bbe@Ezra:8:14 @And of the sons of Bigvai, Uthai and Zabbud; and with them seventy males.

bbe@Ezra:8:17 @And I sent them to Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia, and gave them orders what to say to Iddo and his brothers the Nethinim at the place Casiphia, so that they might come back to us with men to do the work of the house of our God.

bbe@Ezra:8:18 @And by the help of our God they got for us Ish-sechel, one of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel; and Sherebiah with his sons and brothers, eighteen;

bbe@Ezra:8:19 @And Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brothers and their sons, twenty;

bbe@Ezra:8:20 @And of the Nethinim, to whom David and the captains had given the work of helping the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinim, all of them specially named.

bbe@Ezra:8:21 @Then I gave orders for a time of going without food, there by the river Ahava, so that we might make ourselves low before our God in prayer, requesting from him a straight way for us and for our little ones and for all our substance.

bbe@Ezra:8:23 @So we went without food, requesting our God for this: and his ear was open to our prayer.

bbe@Ezra:8:24 @So I put on one side twelve of the chiefs of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brothers with them,

bbe@Ezra:8:29 @Take care of them and keep them, till you put them on the scales before the chiefs of the priests and the Levites and the chiefs of the families of Israel, in Jerusalem, in the rooms of the house of the Lord.

bbe@Ezra:8:30 @So the priests and the Levites took the weight of silver and gold and the vessels, to take them to Jerusalem into the house of our God.

bbe@Ezra:8:31 @Then we went away from the river of Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go to Jerusalem; and the hand of our God was on us, and he gave us salvation from our haters and those who were waiting to make an attack on us by the way.

bbe@Ezra:8:33 @And on the fourth day, the silver and the gold and the vessels were measured out by weight in the house of our God into the hands of Meremoth, the son of Uriah, the priest; and with him was Eleazar, the son of Phinehas; and with them were Jozabad, the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah, the son of Binnui, the Levites;

bbe@Ezra:9:1 @Now after these things were done, the captains came to me and said, The people of Israel and the priests and Levites have not kept themselves separate from the people of the lands, but have taken part in the disgusting ways of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.

bbe@Ezra:9:2 @For they have taken their daughters for themselves and for their sons, so that the holy seed has been mixed with the peoples of the lands; and in fact the captains and rulers have been the first to do this evil.

bbe@Ezra:9:3 @And hearing this, with signs of grief and pulling out the hair of my head and my chin, I took my seat on the earth deeply troubled.

bbe@Ezra:9:4 @Then everyone who went in fear of the words of the God of Israel, because of the sin of those who had come back, came together to me; and I kept where I was, overcome with grief, till the evening offering.

bbe@Ezra:9:5 @And at the evening offering, having made myself low before God, I got up, and with signs of grief, falling down on my knees, with my hands stretched out to the Lord my God,

bbe@Ezra:9:7 @From the days of our fathers till this day we have been great sinners; and for our sins, we and our kings and our priests have been given up into the hands of the kings of the lands, to the sword and to prison and to loss of goods and to shame of face, as it is this day.

bbe@Ezra:9:8 @And now for a little time grace has come to us from the Lord our God, to let a small band of us get free and to give us a nail in his holy place, so that our God may give light to our eyes and a measure of new life in our prison chains.

bbe@Ezra:9:9 @For we are servants; but our God has not been turned away from us in our prison, but has had mercy on us before the eyes of the kings of Persia, to give us new strength to put up again the house of our God and to make fair its waste places, and to give us a wall in Judah and Jerusalem.

bbe@Ezra:9:11 @Which you gave to your servants the prophets, saying, The land into which you are going, to take it for a heritage, is an unclean land, because of the evil lives of the peoples of the land and their disgusting ways, which have made the land unclean from end to end.

bbe@Ezra:9:12 @So now do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons or do anything for their peace or well-being for ever; so that you may be strong, living on the good of the land, and handing it on to your children for a heritage for ever.

bbe@Ezra:9:14 @Are we again to go against your orders, taking wives from among the people who do these disgusting things? would you not be angry with us till our destruction was complete, till there was not one who got away safe?

bbe@Ezra:10:1 @Now while Ezra was making his prayer and his statement of wrongdoing, weeping and falling down before the house of God, a very great number of men and women and children out of Israel came together round him: for the people were weeping bitterly.

bbe@Ezra:10:3 @Let us now make an agreement with our God to put away all the wives and all their children, if it seems right to my lord and to those who go in fear of the words of our God; and let it be done in keeping with the law.

bbe@Ezra:10:4 @Up, now! for this is your business, and we are with you; take heart and do it.

bbe@Ezra:10:5 @Then Ezra got up, and made the chiefs of the priests and the Levites and all Israel take an oath that they would do this. So they took an oath.

bbe@Ezra:10:9 @Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin came together to Jerusalem before three days were past; it was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people were seated in the wide square in front of the house of God, shaking with fear because of this business and because of the great rain

bbe@Ezra:10:12 @Then all the people, answering, said with a loud voice, As you have said, so it is right for us to do.

bbe@Ezra:10:13 @But the number of people is great, and it is a time of much rain; it is not possible for us to go on waiting outside, and this is not a thing which may be done in one day or even two: for our sin in this business is great.

bbe@Ezra:10:14 @So now let our rulers be representatives for all the people, and let all those in our towns who are married to strange women come at fixed times, and with them the responsible men and the judges of every town, till the burning wrath of our God is turned away from us, and this has been done.

bbe@Ezra:10:15 @Only Jonathan, the son of Asahel, and Jahzeiah, the son of Tikvah, were against this, Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite supporting them.

bbe@Ezra:10:16 @So those who had come back did so. And Ezra the priest, with certain heads of families, by their fathers' families, all of them by their names, were marked out; and on the first day of the tenth month they took their places to go into the question with care.

bbe@Ezra:10:23 @And of the Levites, Jozabad, and Shimei, and Kelaiah (that is Kelita), Pethahiah, Judah, and Eliezer.

bbe@Ezra:10:43 @Of the sons of Nebo, Jeiel, Mattithiah, Zabad, Zebina, Iddo, and Joel, Benaiah.

bbe@Nehemiah:1:1 @The history of Nehemiah, the son of Hacaliah. Now it came about, in the month Chislev, in the twentieth year, when I was in Shushan, the king's town,

bbe@Nehemiah:1:2 @That Hanani, one of my brothers, came with certain men from Judah; and in answer to my request for news of the Jews who had been prisoners and had got away, and of Jerusalem,

bbe@Nehemiah:1:3 @They said to me, The small band of Jews now living there in the land are in great trouble and shame: the wall of Jerusalem has been broken down, and its doorways burned with fire.

bbe@Nehemiah:1:5 @And said, O Lord, the God of heaven, the great God, greatly to be feared, keeping faith and mercy with those who have love for him and are true to his laws:

bbe@Nehemiah:2:1 @And it came about in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, when wine was before him, that I took up the wine and gave it to the king. Now I had never before been sad when the king was present.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:3 @And said to the king, May the king be living for ever: is it not natural for my face to be sad, when the town, the place where the bodies of my fathers are at rest, has been made waste and its doorways burned with fire?

bbe@Nehemiah:2:5 @And I said to the king, If it is the king's pleasure, and if your servant has your approval, send me to Judah, to the town where the bodies of my fathers are at rest, so that I may take in hand the building of it.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:7 @Further, I said to the king, If it is the king's pleasure, let letters be given to me for the rulers across the river, so that they may let me go through till I come to Judah;

bbe@Nehemiah:2:9 @Then I came to the rulers of the lands across the river and gave them the king's letters. Now the king had sent with me captains of the army and horsemen.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:10 @And Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, hearing of it, were greatly troubled because a man had come to the help of the children of Israel.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:12 @And in the night I got up, taking with me a small band of men; I said nothing to any man of what God had put into my heart to do for Jerusalem: and I had no beast with me but the one on which I was seated.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:13 @And I went out by night, through the doorway of the valley, and past the dragon's water-spring as far as the place where waste material was put, viewing the walls of Jerusalem which were broken down, and the doorways which had been burned with fire.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:17 @Then I said to them, You see what a bad condition we are in; how Jerusalem is a waste, and its doorways burned with fire: come, let us get to work, building up the wall of Jerusalem, so that we may no longer be put to shame.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:19 @But Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, hearing of it, made sport of us, laughing at us and saying, What are you doing? will you go against the king?

bbe@Nehemiah:2:20 @Then answering them I said, The God of heaven, he will be our help; so we his servants will go on with our building: but you have no part or right or any name in Jerusalem.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:1 @Then Eliashib, the chief priest, got up with his brothers the priests, and took in hand the building of the sheep doorway; they made it holy and put its doors in position; as far as the tower of Hammeah they made it holy, even to the tower of Hananel.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:3 @The sons of Hassenaah were the builders of the fish doorway; they put its boards in place and put up its doors, with their locks and rods.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:5 @Near them, the Tekoites were at work; but their chiefs did not put their necks to the work of their Lord.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:6 @Joiada, the son of Paseah, and Meshullam, the son of Besodeiah, made good the old doorway; they put its boards in place and put up its doors, with their locks and rods.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:7 @By their side were working Melatiah the Gibeonite and Jadon the Meronothite, the men of Gibeon and of Mizpah from the seat of the ruler across the river.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:10 @By his side was Jedaiah, the son of Harumaph, opposite his house

bbe@Nehemiah:3:12 @Near them was Shallum, the son of Hallohesh, the ruler of half Jerusalem, with his daughters.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:13 @Hanun and the people of Zanoah were working on the doorway of the valley; they put it up and put up its doors, with their locks and rods, and a thousand cubits of wall as far as the doorway where the waste material was placed.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:14 @And Malchijah, the son of Rechab, the ruler of the division of Beth-haccherem, made good the doorway of the waste, building it up and putting up its doors, with their locks and rods.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:15 @And Shallun, the son of Col-hozeh, the ruler of the division of Mizpah, made good the doorway of the fountain, building it up and covering it and putting up its doors, with their locks and rods, with the wall of the pool of Shelah by the king's garden, as far as the steps which go down from the town of David.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:16 @By his side was working Nehemiah, the son of Azbuk, ruler of half the division of Beth-zur, as far as the place opposite the last resting-places of David's family, and the pool which was made and the house of the men of war.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:17 @Then came the Levites, Rehum, the son of Bani. By his side was working Hashabiah, ruler of half the division of Keilah, for his division.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:19 @And by his side was working Ezer, the son of Jeshua, the ruler of Mizpah, making good another part opposite the way up to the store of arms at the turning of the wall.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:23 @After them came Benjamin and Hasshub, opposite their house. After them Azariah, the son of Maaseiah, the son of Ananiah, made good the wall by the house where he himself was living.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:25 @Palal, the son of Uzai, made good the wall opposite the angle and the tower which comes out from the higher part of the king's house, by the open space of the watch. After him was Pedaiah, the son of Parosh.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:27 @After him the Tekoites were making good another part, opposite the great tower which comes out, and up to the wall of the Ophel.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:28 @Further on, past the horse doorway, the priests were at work, every one opposite his house.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:29 @After them Zadok, the son of Immer, was working opposite his house. And after him Shemaiah, the son of Shecaniah, the keeper of the east door.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:30 @After him Hananiah, the son of Shelemiah, and Hanun, the sixth son of Zalaph, were making good another part. After him Meshullam, the son of Berechiah, made good the wall opposite his room.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:31 @After him Malchijah, one of the gold-workers to the Nethinim and the traders, made good the wall opposite the doorway of Hammiphkad and as far as the way up to the angle.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:3 @Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Such is their building that if a fox goes up it, their stone wall will be broken down.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:7 @But when it came to the ears of Sanballat and Tobiah and the Arabians and the Ammonites and the Ashdodites, that the building of the walls of Jerusalem was going forward and the broken places were being made good, they were full of wrath;

bbe@Nehemiah:4:10 @And Judah said, The strength of the workmen is giving way, and there is much waste material; it is impossible for us to put up the wall

bbe@Nehemiah:4:11 @And those who were against us said, Without their knowledge and without their seeing us, we will come among them and put them to death, causing the work to come to a stop.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:12 @And it came about that when the Jews who were living near them came, they said to us ten times, From all directions they are coming against us.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:13 @So in the lowest part of the space at the back of the walls, in the open places, I put the people by families, with their swords, their spears, and their bows.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:15 @And when it came to the ears of those who were against us, that we had knowledge of their designs and that God had made their purpose come to nothing, we all went back to the wall, everyone to his work

bbe@Nehemiah:4:17 @Those who were building the wall and those who were moving material did their part, everyone working with one hand, with his spear in the other;

bbe@Nehemiah:4:18 @Every builder was working with his sword at his side. And by my side was a man for sounding the horn.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:21 @So we went on with the work: and half of them had spears in their hands from the dawn of the morning till the stars were seen.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:22 @And at the same time I said to the people, Let everyone with his servant come inside Jerusalem for the night, so that at night they may keep watch for us, and go on working by day.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:23 @So not one of us, I or my brothers or my servants or the watchmen who were with me, took off his clothing, everyone went armed to the water.

bbe@Nehemiah:5:5 @But our flesh is the same as the flesh of our countrymen, and our children as their children: and now we are giving our sons and daughters into the hands of others, to be their servants, and some of our daughters are servants even now: and we have no power to put a stop to it; for other men have our fields and our vine-gardens.

bbe@Nehemiah:5:7 @And after turning it over in my mind, I made a protest to the chiefs and the rulers, and said to them, Every one of you is taking interest from his countryman. And I got together a great meeting of protest.

bbe@Nehemiah:5:9 @And I said, What you are doing is not good: is it not the more necessary for you to go in the fear of our God, because of the shame which the nations may put on us?

bbe@Nehemiah:5:13 @And shaking out the folds of my robe, I said, So may God send out from his house and his work every man who does not keep this agreement; even so let him be sent out and made as nothing. And all the meeting of the people said, So be it, and gave praise to the Lord. And the people did as they had said.

bbe@Nehemiah:5:16 @And I kept on with the work of this wall, and we got no land for ourselves: and all my servants were helping with the work.

bbe@Nehemiah:5:17 @And more than this, a hundred and fifty of the Jews and the rulers were guests at my table, in addition to those who came to us from the nations round about us.

bbe@Nehemiah:6:1 @Now when word was given to Sanballat and Tobiah and to Geshem the Arabian and to the rest of our haters, that I had done the building of the wall and that there were no more broken places in it (though even then I had not put up the doors in the doorways);

bbe@Nehemiah:6:2 @Sanballat and Geshem sent to me saying, Come, let us have a meeting in one of the little towns in the lowland of Ono. But their purpose was to do me evil.

bbe@Nehemiah:6:3 @And I sent men to them saying, I am doing a great work, so that it is not possible for me to come down: is the work to be stopped while I go away from it and come down to you?

bbe@Nehemiah:6:5 @Then Sanballat sent his servant to me a fifth time with an open letter in his hand;

bbe@Nehemiah:6:6 @And in it these words were recorded: It is said among the nations, and Geshem says so, that you and the Jews are hoping to make yourselves free from the king's authority; and that this is why you are building the wall: and they say that it is your purpose to be their king;

bbe@Nehemiah:6:9 @For they were hoping to put fear in us, saying, Their hands will become feeble and give up the work so that it may not get done. But now, O God, make my hands strong.

bbe@Nehemiah:6:11 @And I said, Am I the sort of man to go in flight? what man, in my position, would go into the Temple to keep himself safe? I will not go in.

bbe@Nehemiah:6:12 @Then it became clear to me that God had not sent him: he had given this word of a prophet against me himself: and Tobiah and Sanballat had given him money to do so.

bbe@Nehemiah:6:18 @For in Judah there were a number of people who had made an agreement by oath with him, because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah, the son of Arah; and his son Jehohanan had taken as his wife the daughter of Meshullam, the son of Berechiah.

bbe@Nehemiah:6:19 @And they said much before me of the good he had done, and gave him accounts of my words. And Tobiah sent letters with the purpose of causing me fear.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:1 @Now when the building of the wall was complete and I had put up the doors, and the door-keepers and the music-makers and the Levites had been given their places,

bbe@Nehemiah:7:2 @I made my brother Hanani, and Hananiah, the ruler of the tower, responsible for the government of Jerusalem: for he was a man of good faith, fearing God more than most.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:3 @And I said to them, Do not let the doors of Jerusalem be open till the sun is high; and while the watchmen are in their places, let the doors be shut and locked: and let the people of Jerusalem be put on watch, every one in his watch, opposite his house.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:4 @Now the town was wide and great: but the people in it were only a small number, and the houses had not been put up.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:5 @And my God put it into my heart to get together the rulers and the chiefs and the people so that they might be listed by families. And I came across a record of the names of those who came up at the first, and in it I saw these words:

bbe@Nehemiah:7:7 @Who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The number of the men of the people of Israel:

bbe@Nehemiah:7:43 @The Levites: the children of Jeshua, of Kadmiel, of the children of Hodevah, seventy-four.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:45 @The door-keepers: the children of Shallum, the children of Ater, the children of Talmon, the children of Akkub, the children of Hatita, the children of Shobai, a hundred and thirty-eight.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:54 @The children of Bazlith, the children of Mehida, the children of Harsha,

bbe@Nehemiah:7:61 @All these were the people who went up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer; but because they had no knowledge of their fathers' families or offspring, it was not certain if they were Israelites:

bbe@Nehemiah:7:63 @And of the priests: the children of Hobaiah, the children of Hakkoz, the children of Barzillai, who was married to one of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and took their name.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:73 @So the priests and the Levites and the door-keepers and the music-makers and some of the people and the Nethinim, and all Israel, were living in their towns.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:2 @And Ezra the priest put the law before the meeting of the people, before the men and women and all those who were able to take it in, on the first day of the seventh month.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:3 @He was reading it in the wide place in front of the water-doorway, from early morning till the middle of the day, in the hearing of all those men and women whose minds were able to take it in; and the ears of all the people were open to the book of the law.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:4 @And Ezra the scribe took his place on a tower of wood which they had made for the purpose; and by his side were placed Mattithiah and Shema and Anaiah and Uriah and Hilkiah and Maaseiah on the right; and on the left, Pedaiah and Mishael and Malchijah and Hashum and Hashbaddanah, Zechariah and Meshullam.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:5 @And Ezra took the book, opening it before the eyes of all the people (for he was higher than the people); and when it was open, all the people got to their feet:

bbe@Nehemiah:8:6 @And Ezra gave praise to the Lord, the great God. And all the people in answer said, So be it, so be it; lifting up their hands; and with bent heads they gave worship to the Lord, going down on their faces to the earth.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:7 @And Jeshua and Bani and Sherebiah and Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites made the law clear to the people: and the people kept in their places.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:8 @And they gave out the words of the book the law of God, clearly, and gave the sense of it, so that their minds were able to take it in.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:9 @And Nehemiah, who was the Tirshatha, and Ezra, the priest and scribe, and the Levites who were the teachers of the people, said to all the people, This day is holy to the Lord your God; let there be no sorrow or weeping; for all the people were weeping on hearing the words of the law.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:11 @So the Levites made all the people quiet, saying, Be quiet, for the day is holy; and do not give way to grief.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:13 @And on the second day the heads of families of all the people and the priests and the Levites came together to Ezra the scribe, to give attention to the words of the law.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:14 @And they saw that it was recorded in the law that the Lord had given orders by Moses, that the children of Israel were to have tents for their living-places in the feast of the seventh month:

bbe@Nehemiah:8:15 @And that they were to give out an order, and make it public in all their towns and in Jerusalem, saying, Go out to the mountain and get olive branches and branches of field olives and of myrtle, and palm branches and branches of thick trees, to make tents, as it says in the book.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:4 @Then Jeshua, and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani took their places on the steps of the Levites, crying in a loud voice to the Lord their God.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:5 @Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah said, Get up and give praise to the Lord your God for ever and ever. Praise be to your great name which is lifted up high over all blessing and praise.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:6 @You are the Lord, even you only; you have made heaven, the heaven of heavens with all their armies, the earth and all things in it, the seas and everything in them; and you keep them from destruction: and the armies of heaven are your worshippers.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:8 @You saw that his heart was true to you, and made an agreement with him to give the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Jebusite and the Girgashite, even to give it to his seed, and you have done what you said; for righteousness is yours:

bbe@Nehemiah:9:10 @And you did signs and wonders on Pharaoh and all his servants and all the people of his land; for you saw how cruel they were to them. So you got yourself a name as it is today.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:15 @And you gave them bread from heaven when they were in need, and made water come out of the rock for their drink, and gave them orders to go in and take for their heritage the land which your hand had been lifted up to give them.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:17 @And would not do them, and gave no thought to the wonders you had done among them; but made their necks stiff, and turning away from you, made a captain over themselves to take them back to their prison in Egypt: but you are a God of forgiveness, full of grace and pity, slow to wrath and great in mercy, and you did not give them up.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:20 @And you gave your good spirit to be their teacher, and did not keep back your manna from their mouths, and gave them water when they had need of it

bbe@Nehemiah:9:22 @And you gave them kingdoms and peoples, making distribution to them in every part of the land: so they took for their heritage the land of Sihon, even the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og, king of Bashan.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:23 @And you made their children as great in number as the stars of heaven, and took them into the land, of which you had said to their fathers that they were to go in and take it for themselves.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:24 @So the children went in and took the land, and you overcame before them the people of the land, the Canaanites, and gave them up into their hands, with their kings and the people of the land, so that they might do with them whatever it was their pleasure to do.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:25 @And they took walled towns and a fat land, and became the owners of houses full of all good things, water-holes cut in the rock, vine-gardens and olive-gardens and a wealth of fruit-trees: so they had food enough and became fat, and had joy in the good you gave them.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:26 @But they were hard-hearted, and went against your authority, turning their backs on your law, and putting to death your prophets, who gave witness against them with the purpose of turning them back again to you, and they did much to make you angry.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:29 @And gave witness against them so that you might make them come back again to your law: but their hearts were lifted up, and they gave no attention to your orders and went against your decisions (which, if a man keeps them, will be life to him), and turning their backs on you, made their necks stiff and did not give ear.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:30 @Year after year you put up with them, and gave witness against them by your spirit through your prophets: still they did not give ear: and so you gave them up into the hands of the peoples of the lands.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:32 @And now, our God, the great, the strong, the God who is to be feared, who keeps faith and mercy, let not all this trouble seem small to you, which has come on us, and on our kings and our rulers and on our priests and our prophets and our fathers and on all your people from the time of the kings of Assyria till this day.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:34 @And our kings, our rulers, our priests, and our fathers have not kept your law or given attention to your orders and your witness, with which you gave witness against them.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:36 @Now, today, we are servants, and as for the land which you gave to our fathers, so that the produce of it and the good might be theirs, see, we are servants in it:

bbe@Nehemiah:9:37 @And it gives much increase to the kings whom you have put over us because of our sins: and they have power over our bodies and over our cattle at their pleasure, and we are in great trouble.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:38 @And because of all this we are making an agreement in good faith, and putting it in writing; and our rulers, our Levites, and our priests are putting their names to it.

bbe@Nehemiah:10:9 @And the Levites: by name, Jeshua, the son of Azaniah, Binnui, of the sons of Henadad, Kadmiel,

bbe@Nehemiah:10:10 @And their brothers, Shebaniah, Hodiah, Kelita, Pelaiah, Hanan,

bbe@Nehemiah:10:28 @And the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the door-keepers, the music-makers, the Nethinim, and all those who had made themselves separate from the peoples of the lands, to keep the law of God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, everyone who had knowledge and wisdom;

bbe@Nehemiah:10:29 @They were united with their brothers, their rulers, and put themselves under a curse and an oath, to keep their steps in the way of God's law, which was given by Moses, the servant of God, and to keep and do all the orders of the Lord, our Lord, and his decisions and his rules;

bbe@Nehemiah:10:31 @And if the peoples of the lands come to do trade in goods or food on the Sabbath day, that we would do no trade with them on the Sabbath or on a holy day: and that in the seventh year we would take no payment from any debtor.

bbe@Nehemiah:10:34 @And we, the priests and the Levites and the people, made selection, by the decision of the Lord, of those who were to take the wood offering into the house of God, by families at the regular times, year by year, to be burned on the altar of the Lord our God, as it is recorded in the law;

bbe@Nehemiah:10:35 @And to take the first-fruits of our land, and the first-fruits of every sort of tree, year by year, into the house of the Lord;

bbe@Nehemiah:10:36 @As well as the first of our sons and of our cattle, as it is recorded in the law, and the first lambs of our herds and of our flocks, which are to be taken to the house of our God, to the priests who are servants in the house of our God:

bbe@Nehemiah:10:37 @And that we would take the first of our rough meal, and our lifted offerings, and the fruit of every sort of tree, and wine and oil, to the priests, to the rooms of the house of our God; and the tenth of the produce of our land to the Levites; for they, the Levites, take a tenth in all the towns of our ploughed land.

bbe@Nehemiah:10:38 @And the priest, the son of Aaron, is to be with the Levites, when the Levites take the tenths: and the Levites are to take a tenth of the tenths into the house of our God, to the rooms, into the store-house;

bbe@Nehemiah:10:39 @For the children of Israel and the children of Levi are to take the lifted offering of the grain and wine and oil into the rooms where the vessels of the holy place are, together with the priests and the door-keepers and the makers of music: and we will not give up caring for the house of our God.

bbe@Nehemiah:11:3 @Now these are the chiefs of the divisions of the country who were living in Jerusalem: but in the towns of Judah everyone was living on his heritage in the towns, that is, Israel, the priests, the Levites, the Nethinim, and the children of Solomon's servants.

bbe@Nehemiah:11:19 @In addition the door-keepers, Akkub, Talmon, and their brothers who kept watch at the doors, were a hundred and seventy-two.

bbe@Nehemiah:11:20 @And the rest of Israel, of the priests, the Levites, were in all the towns of Judah, every one in his heritage.

bbe@Nehemiah:11:22 @And the overseer of the Levites at Jerusalem was Uzzi, the son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Mica, of the sons of Asaph, the music-makers, who was over the business of the house of God.

bbe@Nehemiah:11:24 @And Pethahiah, the son of Meshezabel, of the sons of Zerah, the son of Judah, was the king's servant in everything to do with the people.

bbe@Nehemiah:11:25 @And for the daughter-towns with their fields, some of the men of Judah were living in Kiriath-arba and its daughter-towns, and in Dibon and its daughter-towns, and in Jekabzeel and its daughter-towns,

bbe@Nehemiah:11:36 @And of the Levites, certain divisions in Judah were joined to Benjamin.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:1 @Now these are the priests and the Levites who went up with Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua: Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra,

bbe@Nehemiah:12:8 @And the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah, who was over the music-makers, he and his brothers.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:9 @And Bakbukiah and Unno, their brothers, were opposite them in their watches.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:22 @The Levites in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, were listed as heads of families; and the priests, when Darius the Persian was king.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:24 @And the chiefs of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua, the son of Kadmiel, with their brothers opposite them, to give blessing and praise as ordered by David, the man of God, watch against watch.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:27 @And when the time came for the wall of Jerusalem to be made holy, they sent for the Levites out of all their places to come to Jerusalem, to keep the feast with joy, and with praise and melody, with brass and corded instruments of music.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:28 @And the sons of the music-makers came together from the lowland round about Jerusalem and from the daughter-towns of the Netophathites,

bbe@Nehemiah:12:30 @And the priests and the Levites made themselves clean; and they made the people clean, and the doorways and the wall.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:31 @Then I made the rulers of Judah come up on the wall, and I put in position two great bands of them who gave praise, walking in ordered lines; one went to the right on the wall, in the direction of the doorway where the waste was put;

bbe@Nehemiah:12:35 @And certain of the priests' sons with wind instruments; Zechariah, the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph,

bbe@Nehemiah:12:38 @And the other band of those who gave praise went to the left, and I went after them with half the people, on the wall, over the tower of the ovens, as far as the wide wall;

bbe@Nehemiah:12:40 @So the two bands of those who gave praise took up their positions in the house of God, and I and half of the chiefs with me:

bbe@Nehemiah:12:41 @And the priests; Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with wind instruments;

bbe@Nehemiah:12:42 @And Maaseiah and Shemaiah and Eleazar and Uzzi and Jehohanan and Malchijah and Elam and Ezer. And the makers of melody made their voices loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:43 @And on that day they made great offerings and were glad; for God had made them glad with great joy; and the women and the children were glad with them: so that the joy of Jerusalem came to the ears of those who were far off.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:44 @And on that day certain men were put over the rooms where the things which had been given were stored, for the lifted offerings and the first-fruits and the tenths, and to take into them the amounts, from the fields of every town, fixed by the law for the priests and the Levites: for Judah was glad on account of the priests and the Levites who were in their places.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:45 @And they kept the watch of their God, and were responsible for making things clean, and so did the music-makers and the door-keepers, as it was ordered by David and Solomon his son.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:47 @And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah gave what was needed by the music-makers and the door-keepers day by day: and they made the offerings holy for the Levites; and the Levites did the same for the sons of Aaron.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:1 @On that day there was a reading from the book of Moses in the hearing of the people; and they saw that it said in the book that no Ammonite or Moabite might ever come into the meeting of God;

bbe@Nehemiah:13:5 @Had made ready for him a great room, where at one time they kept the meal offerings, the perfume, and the vessels and the tenths of the grain and wine and oil which were given by order to the Levites and the music-makers and the door-keepers, and the lifted offerings for the priests.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:7 @And I came to Jerusalem; and it was clear to me what evil Eliashib had done for Tobiah, in making ready for him a room in the buildings of the house of God.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:8 @And it was evil in my eyes: so I had all Tobiah's things put out of the room.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:9 @Then I gave orders, and they made the rooms clean: and I put back in them the vessels of the house of God, with the meal offerings and the perfume.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:10 @And I saw that the Levites had not been given what was needed for their support; so that the Levites and the music-makers, who did the work, had gone away, everyone to his field.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:12 @Then all Judah came with the tenth part of the grain and wine and oil and put it into the store-houses.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:13 @And I made controllers over the store-houses, Shelemiah the priest and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah: and with them was Hanan, the son of Zaccur the son of Mattaniah: they were taken to be true men and their business was the distribution of these things to their brothers.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:14 @Keep me in mind, O my God, in connection with this, and do not let the good which I have done for the house of my God and its worship go from your memory completely.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:15 @In those days, I saw in Judah some who were crushing grapes on the Sabbath, and getting in grain and putting it on asses; as well as wine and grapes and figs and all sorts of goods which they took into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day: and I gave witness against them on the day when they were marketing food

bbe@Nehemiah:13:16 @And there were men of Tyre there, who came with fish and all sorts of goods, trading with the children of Judah and in Jerusalem on the Sabbath.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:21 @Then I gave witness against them and said, Why are you waiting all night by the wall? if you do so again I will have you taken prisoners. From that time they did not come again on the Sabbath.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:22 @And I gave the Levites orders to make themselves clean and come and keep the doors and make the Sabbath holy. Keep this in mind to my credit, O my God, and have mercy on me, for great is your mercy.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:26 @Was it not in these things that Solomon, king of Israel, did wrong? among a number of nations there was no king like him, and he was dear to his God, and God made him king over all Israel: but even he was made to do evil by strange women.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:27 @Are we then without protest to let you do all this great evil, sinning against our God by taking strange women for your wives?

bbe@Nehemiah:13:28 @And one of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib, the chief priest, was son-in-law to Sanballat the Horonite: so I sent him away from me.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:29 @Keep them in mind, O my God, because they have put shame on the priests' name and on the agreement of the priests and the Levites.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:30 @So I made them clean from all strange people, and had regular watches fixed for the priests and for the Levites, everyone in his work;

bbe@Nehemiah:13:31 @And for the wood offering, at fixed times, and for the first fruits. Keep me in mind, O my God, for good.

bbe@Esther:1:1 @Now it came about in the days of Ahasuerus, (that Ahasuerus who was ruler of a hundred and twenty-seven divisions of the kingdom, from India as far as Ethiopia:)

bbe@Esther:1:6 @There were fair hangings of white and green and blue, fixed with cords of purple and the best linen to silver rings and pillars of polished stone: the seats were of gold and silver on a floor of red and white and yellow and black stone.

bbe@Esther:1:8 @And the drinking was in keeping with the law; no one was forced: for the king had given orders to all the chief servants of his house to do as was pleasing to every man.

bbe@Esther:1:10 @On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was glad with wine, he gave orders to Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven unsexed servants who were waiting before Ahasuerus the king,

bbe@Esther:1:11 @That Vashti the queen was to come before him, crowned with her crown, and let the people and the captains see her: for she was very beautiful.

bbe@Esther:1:12 @But when the servants gave her the king's order, Vashti the queen said she would not come: then the king was very angry, and his heart was burning with wrath.

bbe@Esther:1:13 @And the king said to the wise men, who had knowledge of the times, (for this was the king's way with all who were expert in law and in the giving of decisions:

bbe@Esther:1:17 @For news of what the queen has done will come to the ears of all women, and they will no longer give respect to their husbands when it is said to them, King Ahasuerus gave orders for Vashti the queen to come before him and she came not.

bbe@Esther:1:19 @If it is pleasing to the king, let an order go out from him, and let it be recorded among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, so that it may never be changed, that Vashti is never again to come before King Ahasuerus; and let the king give her place to another who is better than she.

bbe@Esther:1:20 @And when this order, given by the king, is made public through all his kingdom (for it is great), all the wives will give honour to their husbands, great as well as small.

bbe@Esther:1:22 @And sent letters to all the divisions of the kingdom, to every division in the writing commonly used there, and to every people in the language which was theirs, saying that every man was to be the ruler in his house, and that this order was to be given out in the language of his people.

bbe@Esther:2:2 @Then the servants who were waiting on the king said to him, Let search be made for some fair young virgins for the king:

bbe@Esther:2:3 @Let the king give authority to certain men in all the divisions of his kingdom, to get together all the fair young virgins and send them to Shushan, the king's town, to the women's house, under the care of Hegai, the king's servant, the keeper of the women: and let the things needed for making them clean be given to them;

bbe@Esther:2:4 @And let the girl who is pleasing to the king be queen in place of Vashti. And the king was pleased with this suggestion; and he did so.

bbe@Esther:2:5 @Now there was a certain Jew in Shushan named Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite;

bbe@Esther:2:6 @Who had been taken away from Jerusalem among those who had been made prisoner with Jeconiah, king of Judah, when Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, had taken him away.

bbe@Esther:2:9 @And he was pleased with the girl and was kind to her; and he quickly gave her what was needed for making her clean, and the things which were hers by right, and seven servant-girls who were to be hers from the king's house: and he had her and her servant-girls moved to the best place in the women's part of the house.

bbe@Esther:2:12 @Now every girl, when her turn came, had to go in to King Ahasuerus, after undergoing, for a space of twelve months, what was ordered by the law for the women (for this was the time necessary for making them clean, that is, six months with oil of myrrh and six months with sweet perfumes and such things as are needed for making women clean):

bbe@Esther:2:13 @And in this way the girl went in to the king; whatever she had a desire for was given to her to take with her from the women's house into the house of the king.

bbe@Esther:2:20 @Esther had still said nothing of her family or her people, as Mordecai had given her orders; for Esther did what Mordecai said, as when she was living with him.

bbe@Esther:2:22 @And Mordecai, having knowledge of their purpose, sent word of it to Esther the queen; and Esther gave the news to the king in Mordecai's name.

bbe@Esther:2:23 @And when the thing had been looked into, it was seen to be true, and the two of them were put to death by hanging on a tree: and it was put down in the records before the king.

bbe@Esther:3:1 @After these things, by the order of the king, Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, was lifted up and given a position of honour and a higher place than all the other captains who were with him.

bbe@Esther:3:4 @Now when they had said this to him day after day and he gave no attention, they let Haman have news of it, to see if Mordecai's behaviour would be overlooked: for he had said to them that he was a Jew.

bbe@Esther:3:6 @But it was not enough for him to make an attack on Mordecai only; for they had made clear to him who Mordecai's people were; so Haman made it his purpose to put an end to all the Jews, even Mordecai's people, through all the kingdom of Ahasuerus.

bbe@Esther:3:8 @And Haman said to King Ahasuerus, There is a certain nation living here and there in small groups among the people in all the divisions of your kingdom; their laws are different from those of any other nation, and they do not keep the king's laws: for this reason it is not right for the king to let them be.

bbe@Esther:3:9 @If it is the king's pleasure, let a statement ordering their destruction be put in writing: and I will give to those responsible for the king's business, ten thousand talents of silver for the king's store-house.

bbe@Esther:3:10 @And the king took his ring from his hand and gave it to Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the hater of the Jews

bbe@Esther:3:11 @And the king said to Haman, The money is yours, and the people, to do with them whatever seems right to you.

bbe@Esther:3:12 @Then on the thirteenth day of the first month, the king's scribes were sent for, and they put in writing Haman's orders to all the king's captains and the rulers of every division of his kingdom and the chiefs of every people: for every division of the kingdom in the writing commonly used there, and to every people in the language which was theirs; it was signed in the name of King Ahasuerus and stamped with the king's ring.

bbe@Esther:3:13 @And letters were sent by the runners into every division of the kingdom ordering the death and destruction of all Jews, young and old, little children and women, on the same day, even the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month Adar, and the taking of all their goods by force.

bbe@Esther:3:14 @A copy of the writing, to be made public in every part of the kingdom, was sent out to all the peoples, so that they might be ready when that day came.

bbe@Esther:4:1 @Now when Mordecai saw what was done, pulling off his robe, he put on haircloth, with dust on his head, and went out into the middle of the town, crying out with a loud and bitter cry.

bbe@Esther:4:3 @And in every part of the kingdom, wherever the king's word and his order came, there was great sorrow among the Jews, and weeping and crying and going without food; and numbers of them were stretched on the earth covered with dust and haircloth.

bbe@Esther:4:4 @And Esther's women and her servants came and gave her word of it. Then great was the grief of the queen: and she sent robes for Mordecai, so that his clothing of haircloth might be taken off; but he would not have them.

bbe@Esther:4:5 @Then Esther sent for Hathach, one of the king's unsexed servants whom he had given her for waiting on her, and she gave him orders to go to Mordecai and see what this was and why it was.

bbe@Esther:4:8 @And he gave him the copy of the order which had been given out in Shushan for their destruction, ordering him to let Esther see it, and to make it clear to her; and to say to her that she was to go in to the king, requesting his mercy, and making prayer for her people.

bbe@Esther:4:11 @It is common knowledge among all the king's servants and the people of every part of the kingdom, that if anyone, man or woman, comes to the king in his inner room without being sent for, there is only one law for him, that he is to be put to death; only those to whom the king's rod of gold is stretched out may keep their lives: but I have not been sent for to come before the king these thirty days.

bbe@Esther:4:15 @Then Esther sent them back to Mordecai with this answer:

bbe@Esther:4:16 @Go, get together all the Jews who are present in Shushan, and go without food for me, taking no food or drink night or day for three days: and I and my women will do the same; and so I will go in to the king, which is against the law: and if death is to be my fate, then let it come.

bbe@Esther:5:2 @And when the king saw Esther the queen waiting in the inner room, looking kindly on her he put out the rod of gold in his hand to her. So Esther came near and put her fingers on the top of the rod.

bbe@Esther:5:3 @Then the king said, What is your desire, Queen Esther, and what is your request? I will give it to you, even to the half of my kingdom.

bbe@Esther:5:4 @And Esther in answer said, If it seems good to the king, let the king and Haman come today to the feast which I have made ready for him.

bbe@Esther:5:6 @And while they were drinking wine the king said to Esther, What is your prayer? for it will be given to you and what is your request? for it will be done, even to the half of my kingdom.

bbe@Esther:5:8 @If I have the king's approval, and if it is the king's pleasure to give me my prayer and do my request, let the king and Haman come to the feast which I will make ready for them, and tomorrow I will do as the king has said.

bbe@Esther:5:12 @And Haman said further, Truly, Esther the queen let no man but myself come in to the feast which she had made ready for the king; and tomorrow again I am to be her guest with the king

bbe@Esther:5:14 @Then his wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, Let a pillar, fifty cubits high, be made ready for hanging him, and in the morning get the king to give orders for the hanging of Mordecai: then you will be able to go to the feast with the king with a glad heart. And Haman was pleased with the suggestion, and he had the pillar made.

bbe@Esther:6:2 @It came out that it was recorded in the book how Mordecai had given word of the designs of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's servants, keepers of the door, by whom an attack on the king had been designed.

bbe@Esther:6:3 @And the king said, What honour and reward have been given to Mordecai for this? Then the servants who were waiting on the king said, Nothing has been done for him.

bbe@Esther:6:4 @Then the king said, Who is in the outer room? Now Haman had come into the outer room to get the king's authority for the hanging of Mordecai on the pillar which he had made ready for him.

bbe@Esther:6:5 @And the king's servants said to him, See, Haman is waiting in the outer room. And the king said, Let him come in.

bbe@Esther:6:9 @And let the robes and the horse be given to one of the king's most noble captains, so that they may put them on the man whom the king has delight in honouring, and let him go on horseback through the streets of the town, with men crying out before him, So let it be done to the man whom the king has delight in honouring.

bbe@Esther:6:11 @Then Haman took the robes and the horse, and dressing Mordecai in the robes, he made him go on horseback through the streets of the town, crying out before him, So let it be done to the man whom the king has delight in honouring.

bbe@Esther:6:12 @And Mordecai came back to the king's doorway. But Haman went quickly back to his house, sad and with his head covered.

bbe@Esther:7:1 @So the king and Haman came to take wine with Esther the queen.

bbe@Esther:7:2 @And the king said to Esther again on the second day, while they were drinking, What is your prayer, Queen Esther? for it will be given to you; and what is your request? for it will be done, even to the half of my kingdom.

bbe@Esther:7:3 @Then Esther the queen, answering, said, If I have your approval, O king, and if it is the king's pleasure, let my life be given to me in answer to my prayer, and my people at my request:

bbe@Esther:7:4 @For we are given up, I and my people, to destruction and death and to be cut off. If we had been taken as men-servants and women-servants for a price, I would have said nothing, for our trouble is little in comparison with the king's loss.

bbe@Esther:7:9 @Then Harbonah, one of the unsexed servants waiting before the king, said, See, the pillar fifty cubits high, which Haman made for Mordecai, who said a good word for the king, is still in its place in Haman's house. Then the king said, Put him to death by hanging him on it.

bbe@Esther:8:2 @And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai. And Esther put Mordecai over the family of Haman.

bbe@Esther:8:3 @Then Esther again came before the king, falling down at his feet, and made request to him with weeping, that he would put a stop to the evil purposes of Haman the Agagite and the designs which he had made against the Jews.

bbe@Esther:8:5 @And she said, If it is the king's pleasure and if I have his approval and this thing seems right to the king and I am pleasing to him, then let letters be sent giving orders against those which Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, sent out for the destruction of the Jews in all divisions of the kingdom:

bbe@Esther:8:6 @For how is it possible for me to see the evil which is to overtake my nation? how may I see the destruction of my people?

bbe@Esther:8:8 @So now send a letter about the Jews, writing whatever seems good to you, in the king's name, and stamping it with the king's ring: for a writing signed in the king's name and stamped with the king's ring may not be changed.

bbe@Esther:8:9 @Then at that time, on the twenty-third day of the third month, which is the month Sivan, the king's scribes were sent for; and everything ordered by Mordecai was put in writing and sent to the Jews and the captains and the rulers and the chiefs of all the divisions of the kingdom from India to Ethiopia, a hundred and twenty-seven divisions, to every division in the writing commonly used there, and to every people in their language, and to the Jews in their writing and their language.

bbe@Esther:8:10 @The letters were sent in the name of King Ahasuerus and stamped with his ring, and they were taken by men on horseback, going on the quick-running horses used for the king's business, the offspring of his best horses:

bbe@Esther:8:11 @In these letters the king gave authority to the Jews in every town to come together and make a fight for their lives, and to send death and destruction on the power of any people in any part of the kingdom attacking them or their children or their women, and to take their goods from them by force,

bbe@Esther:8:13 @A copy of the writing, to be made public as an order in every division of the kingdom, was given out to all the peoples, so that the Jews might be ready when that day came to give punishment to their haters.

bbe@Esther:8:15 @And Mordecai went out from before the king, dressed in king-like robes of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold and clothing of purple and the best linen: and all the town of Shushan gave loud cries of joy.

bbe@Esther:8:17 @And in every part of the kingdom and in every town, wherever the king's letter and his order came, the Jews were glad with great joy, and had a feast and a good day. And a great number of the people of the land became Jews: for the fear of the Jews had come on them.

bbe@Esther:9:1 @Now on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, when the time came for the king's order to be put into effect, on the very day when the haters of the Jews had been hoping to have rule over them; though the opposite had come about, and the Jews had rule over their haters;

bbe@Esther:9:5 @So the Jews overcame all their attackers with the sword and with death and destruction, and did to their haters whatever they had a desire to do.

bbe@Esther:9:12 @And the king said to Esther the queen, The Jews have put five hundred men to death in Shushan, as well as the ten sons of Haman: what then have they done in the rest of the kingdom! Now what is your prayer? for it will be given to you; what other request have you? and it will be done.

bbe@Esther:9:13 @Then Esther said, If it is the king's pleasure, let authority be given to the Jews in Shushan to do tomorrow as has been done today, and let orders be given for the hanging of Haman's ten sons.

bbe@Esther:9:17 @This they did on the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of the same month they took their rest, and made it a day of feasting and joy.

bbe@Esther:9:18 @But the Jews in Shushan came together on the thirteenth and on the fourteenth day of the month; and on the fifteenth day they took their rest, and made it a day of feasting and joy.

bbe@Esther:9:23 @And the Jews gave their word to go on as they had been doing and as Mordecai had given them orders in writing;

bbe@Esther:9:24 @Because Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the hater of all the Jews, had made designs for their destruction, attempting to get a decision by Pur (that is, chance) with a view to putting an end to them and cutting them off;

bbe@Esther:9:26 @So these days were named Purim, after the name of Pur. And so, because of the words of this letter, and of what they had seen in connection with this business, and what had come to them,

bbe@Esther:9:27 @The Jews made a rule and gave an undertaking, causing their seed and all those who were joined to them to do the same, so that it might be in force for ever, that they would keep those two days, as ordered in the letter, at the fixed time every year;

bbe@Esther:9:29 @Then Esther the queen, daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, sent a second letter giving the force of their authority to the order about the Purim.

bbe@Esther:9:30 @And he sent letters to all the Jews in the hundred and twenty-seven divisions of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with true words of peace,

bbe@Esther:9:31 @Giving the force of law to these days of Purim at their fixed times, as they had been ordered by Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen, and in keeping with the rules they had made for themselves and their seed, in connection with their time of going without food and their cry for help.

bbe@Esther:9:32 @The order given by Esther gave the force of law to the rules about the Purim; and it was recorded in the book.

bbe@Job:1:1 @There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job. He was without sin and upright, fearing God and keeping himself far from evil.
