OT-HISTORY.filter - bbe nation:



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

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:34:24 @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@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: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:18:28 @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: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:20:26 @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: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: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:24:22 @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: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:25:47 @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: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:26:38 @And death will overtake you among strange nations, and the land of your haters will be your destruction.

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@Numbers:9:14 @And if a man from another country is among you and has a desire to keep the Passover to the Lord, let him do as is ordered in the law of the Passover: there is to be the same rule for the man from another nation and for him who had his birth in the land.

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:14:15 @Now if you put to death all this people as one man, then the nations who have had word of your glory will say,

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: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:24:7 @Peoples will be in fear before his strength, his arm will be on great nations: his king will be higher than Agag, and his kingdom made great in honour.

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:24:20 @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@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:4:6 @So keep these laws and do them; for so will your wisdom and good sense be clear in the eyes of the peoples, who hearing all these laws will say, Truly, this great nation is a wise and far-seeing people.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:7 @For what great nation has a god so near to them as the Lord our God is, whenever we are turned to him in prayer?

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:8 @And what great nation has laws and decisions so right as all this law which I put before you today?

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:27 @And the Lord will send you wandering among the peoples; only a small band of you will be kept from death among the nations where the Lord will send you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:34 @Has God ever before taken a nation for himself from out of another nation, by punishments and signs and wonders, by war and by a strong hand and a stretched-out arm and great acts of wonder and fear, as the Lord your God did for you in Egypt, before your very eyes?

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: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:7:6 @For you are a holy people to the Lord your God: marked out by the Lord your God to be his special people out of all the nations on the face of the earth.

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:7 @The Lord did not give you his love or take you for himself because you were more in number than any other people; for you were the smallest of the nations:

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:17 @If you say in your hearts, These nations are greater in number than we are: how are we to take their land from them?

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:8:20 @Like the nations which the Lord is cutting off before you, so you will be cut off; because you would not give ear to the voice of the Lord your God.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:1 @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:9:4 @And after the Lord has sent them in flight from before you, say not in your heart, Because of my righteousness the Lord has given me this land; when it is because of their evil-doing that the Lord is driving these nations out before you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:5 @Not for your righteousness or because your hearts are upright are you going in to take their land; but because of the evil-doing of these nations the Lord your God is driving them out from before you, and to give effect to his oath to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:14 @Let me send destruction on them till their very name is cut off; and I will make of you a nation greater and stronger than they.

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:23 @Then the Lord will send these nations in flight before you, and you will take the lands of nations greater and stronger than yourselves.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:2 @You are to give up to the curse all those places where the nations, whom you are driving out, gave worship to their gods, on the high mountains and the hills and under every green tree:

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:30 @After their destruction take care that you do not go in their ways, and that you do not give thought to their gods, saying, How did these nations give worship to their gods? I will do as they did.

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:2 @For you are a holy people to the Lord your God, and the Lord has taken you to be his special people out of all the nations on the face of the earth.

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: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:15:6 @For the Lord your God will give you his blessing as he has said: you will let other nations have the use of your money, but you will not make use of theirs; you will be rulers over a number of nations, but they will not be your rulers.

bbe@Deuteronomy: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:17:15 @Then see that you take as your king the man named by the Lord your God: let your king be one of your countrymen, not a man of another nation who is not one of yourselves.

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:9 @When you have come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, do not take as your example the disgusting ways of those nations.

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:14 @For these nations, whose land you are taking, give attention to readers of signs and to those using secret arts: but the Lord your God will not let you do so.

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:1 @When the nations, whose land the Lord your God is giving you, have been cut off by him, and you have taken their place and are living in their towns and in their houses;

bbe@Deuteronomy: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:20:15 @So you are to do to all the towns far away, which are not the towns of these nations.

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:10 @When you go out to war against other nations, and the Lord your God gives them up into your hands and you take them as prisoners;

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: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: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:26:19 @And that he will make you high over all the nations he has made, in praise, in name, and in honour, and that you are to be a holy people to the Lord your God as he has said.

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:28:12 @Opening his store-house in heaven, the Lord will send rain on your land at the right time, blessing all the work of your hands: other nations will make use of your wealth, and you will have no need of theirs.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:33 @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:28:36 @And you, and the king whom you have put over you, will the Lord take away to a nation strange to you and to your fathers; there you will be servants to other gods of wood and stone.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:37 @And you will become a wonder and a name of shame among all the nations where the Lord will take 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:28:50 @A hard-faced nation, who will have no respect for the old or mercy for the young:

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:65 @And even among these nations there will be no peace for you, and no rest for your feet: but the Lord will give you there a shaking heart and wasting eyes and weariness of soul:

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:16 @(For you have in mind how we were living in the land of Egypt; and how we came through all the nations which were on your way;

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:24 @Truly all the nations will say, Why has the Lord done so to this land? what is the reason for this great and burning wrath?

bbe@Deuteronomy:30:1 @Now when all these things have come on you, the blessing and the curse which I have put before you, if the thought of them comes back to your minds, when you are living among the nations where the Lord your God has sent you,

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: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: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:32:21 @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:32:28 @For they are a nation without wisdom; there is no sense in them.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:43 @Be glad, O you his people, over the nations; for he will take payment for the blood of his servants, and will give punishment to his haters, and take away the sin of his land, for his people.

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:4:1 @Now when all the nation had come to the other side of Jordan, the Lord said to Joshua,

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:5:8 @So when all the nation had undergone circumcision, they kept in their tents till they were well again.

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: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:23:7 @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:23:9 @For the Lord has sent out from before you nations great and strong: and they have all given way before you till this day.

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:23:13 @Then you may be certain that the Lord your God will not go on driving these nations out from before you; but they will become a danger and a cause of sin to you, a whip for your sides and thorns in your eyes, till you are cut off from this good land which the Lord your God has given you.

bbe@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:2:21 @From now on I will not go on driving out from before them any of the nations which at the death of Joshua were still living in this land;

bbe@Judges:2:23 @So the Lord let those nations go on living in the land, not driving them out quickly, and did not give them up into the hands of Joshua.

bbe@Judges:3:1 @Now these are the nations which the Lord kept in the land for the purpose of testing Israel by them, all those who had had no experience of all the wars of Canaan;

bbe@Judges:3:6 @And they took as wives the daughters of these nations and gave their daughters to their sons, and became servants to their gods.

bbe@1Samuel:8:5 @And said to him, See now, you are old, and your sons do not go in your ways: give us a king now to be our judge, so that we may be like the other nations.

bbe@1Samuel:8:20 @So that we may be like the other nations, and so that our king may be our judge and go out before us to war.

bbe@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: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:22:44 @You have made me free from the fightings of my people; you have made me the head of the nations: a people of whom I had no knowledge will be my servants.

bbe@2Samuel:22:50 @Because of this I will give you praise, O Lord, among the nations, and will make a song of praise to your name.

bbe@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:4:34 @People came from every nation to give ear to the wisdom of Solomon, from all the kings of the earth who had word of his wisdom.

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:14:24 @And more than this, there were those in the land who were used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods, doing the same disgusting crimes as the nations which the Lord had sent out before the children of Israel.

bbe@1Kings:18:10 @By the life of the Lord your God, there is not a nation or kingdom where my lord has not sent in search of you; and when they said, He is not here; he made them take an oath that they had not seen you

bbe@2Kings:16:3 @But he went in the ways of the kings of Israel, and even made his son go through the fire, copying the disgusting ways of the nations whom the Lord had sent out of the land before the children of Israel.

bbe@2Kings:17:8 @Living by the rules of the nations whom the Lord had sent out from before the children of Israel.

bbe@2Kings:17:11 @Burning their offerings in all the high places, as those nations did whom the Lord sent away from before them; they did evil things, moving the Lord to wrath;

bbe@2Kings:17:15 @And they went against his rules, and the agreement which he made with their fathers, and his laws which he gave them; they gave themselves up to things without sense or value, and became foolish like the nations round them, of whom the Lord had said, Do not as they do.

bbe@2Kings:17:26 @So they said to the king of Assyria, The nations whom you have taken as prisoners and put in the towns of Samaria, have no knowledge of the way of the god of the land: so he has sent lions among them, causing their death, because they have no knowledge of his way.

bbe@2Kings:17:29 @And every nation made gods for themselves, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in the towns where they were living.

bbe@2Kings:17:33 @They gave worship to the Lord, but they gave honour to their gods like the nations did from whom they had been taken as prisoners.

bbe@2Kings:17:41 @So these nations, worshipping the Lord, still were servants to the images they had made; their children and their children's children did the same; as their fathers did, so do they, to this day.

bbe@2Kings:18:33 @Has any one of the gods of the nations kept his land from falling into the hands of the king of Assyria?

bbe@2Kings:19:12 @Did the gods of the nations keep safe those on whom my fathers sent destruction, Gozan and Haran and Rezeph and the children of Eden who were in Telassar?

bbe@2Kings:19:17 @Truly, O Lord, the kings of Assyria have made waste the nations and their lands,

bbe@2Kings:21:2 @He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, copying the disgusting ways of those nations whom the Lord had sent out before the children of Israel.

bbe@2Kings:21:9 @But they did not give ear; and Manasseh made them do more evil than those nations did, whom the Lord gave up to destruction before the children of Israel.

bbe@1Chronicles:14:17 @And David's name was honoured in all lands; and the Lord put the fear of him on all nations

bbe@1Chronicles:16:20 @When they went about from one nation to another, and from one kingdom to another people;

bbe@1Chronicles:16:24 @Make clear his glory to the nations, and his wonders to all the peoples.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:26 @For all the gods of the nations are false gods; but the Lord made the heavens.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:31 @Let the heavens have joy and let the earth be glad; let them say among the nations, The Lord is King.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:35 @And say, Be our saviour, O God of our salvation, and let us come back, and give us salvation from the nations, so that we may give honour to your holy name and have glory in your praise.

bbe@1Chronicles:17:21 @And what other nation in the earth, like your people Israel, did a god go out to take for himself, to be his people, making his name great and to be feared, driving out the nations from before your people whom you made free and took out of Egypt?

bbe@1Chronicles:18:11 @These King David made holy to the Lord, together with the silver and gold he had taken from all nations; from Edom and Moab and from the children of Ammon and from the Philistines and from Amalek.

bbe@2Chronicles:15:6 @And they were broken by divisions, nation against nation and town against town, because God sent all sorts of trouble on them.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:6 @And said, O Lord, the God of our fathers, are you not God in heaven? are you not ruler over all the kingdoms of the nations? and in your hands are power and strength so that no one is able to keep his place against you.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:3 @More than this, he had offerings burned in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and made his children go through fire, copying the disgusting ways of the nations whom the Lord had sent out of the land before the children of Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:13 @Have you no knowledge of what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of every land? were the gods of the nations of those lands able to keep their land from falling into my hands?

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:32:23 @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:33:2 @He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, copying the disgusting ways of the nations whom the Lord had sent out of the land before the children of Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:33:9 @And Manasseh made Judah and the people of Jerusalem go out of the true way, so that they did more evil than those nations whom the Lord gave up to destruction before the children of Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:14 @And more than this, all the great men of Judah and the priests and the people made their sin great, turning to all the disgusting ways of the nations; and they made unclean the house of the Lord which he had made holy in Jerusalem.

bbe@Ezra:4:10 @And the rest of the nations which the great and noble Osnappar took over and put in Samaria and the rest of the country over the river:

bbe@Nehemiah:5:8 @And I said to them, We have given whatever we were able to give, to make our brothers the Jews free, who were servants and prisoners of the nations: and would you now give up your brothers for a price, and are they to become our property? Then they said nothing, answering not a word.

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:5:17 @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:6:6 @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;
