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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:21:18 @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:21:21 @But, at the same time, if the servant goes on living for a day or two, the master is not to get punishment, for the servant is his property.

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

bbe@Exodus:21:28 @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:21:35 @And if one man's ox does damage to another man's ox, causing its death, then the living ox is to be exchanged for money, and division made of the price of it, and of the price of the dead one.

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:22:5 @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:22:8 @If they do not get the thief, let the master of the house come before the judges and take an oath that he has not put his hand on his neighbour's goods.

bbe@Exodus:22:11 @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:22:13 @But if it has been damaged by a beast, and he is able to make this clear, he will not have to make payment for what was damaged.

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:22:17 @If her father will not give her to him on any account, he will have to give the regular payment for virgins.

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

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

bbe@Exodus:22:25 @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:22:28 @You may not say evil of the judges, or put a curse on the ruler of your people.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:23:15 @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:23:18 @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:23:21 @Give attention to him and give ear to his voice; do not go against him; for your wrongdoing will not be overlooked by him, because my name is in him.

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

bbe@Exodus:23:26 @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:23:29 @I will not send them all out in one year, for fear that their land may become waste, and the beasts of the field be increased overmuch against you.

bbe@Exodus:23:32 @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:24:11 @And he put not his hand on the chiefs of the children of Israel: they saw God, and took food and drink.

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

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:28:32 @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:28:40 @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:29:33 @All those things which were used as offerings to take away sin, and to make them holy to be priests, they may have for food: but no one who is not a priest may have them, for they are holy food.

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

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

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:30:32 @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:30:37 @You are not to make any perfume like it for yourselves: it is to be kept holy to the Lord.

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:31:14 @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:32:1 @And when the people saw that Moses was a long time coming down from the mountain, they all came to Aaron and said to him, Come, make us a god to go before us: as for this Moses, who took us up out of the land of Egypt, we have no idea what has become of him.

bbe@Exodus:32:8 @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:32:10 @Now do not get in my way, for my wrath is burning against them; I will send destruction on them, but of you I will make a great nation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:34:3 @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:34:7 @Having mercy on thousands, overlooking evil and wrongdoing and sin; he will not let wrongdoers go free, but will send punishment on children for the sins of their fathers, and on their children's children to the third and fourth generation.

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

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

bbe@Exodus:34:12 @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:34:14 @For you are to be worshippers of no other god: for the Lord is a God who will not give his honour to another.

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

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

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:34:24 @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:34:28 @And for forty days and forty nights Moses was there with the Lord, and in that time he had no food or drink. And he put in writing on the stones the words of the agreement, the ten rules of the law.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:36:12 @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:36:25 @And for the second side of the House, on the north, they made twenty boards,

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: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: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:40:22 @And he put the table in the Tent of meeting, on the north side outside the veil.

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@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:1:17 @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:2:11 @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: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:4:2 @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:4:13 @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:4:22 @If a ruler does wrong, and in error does any of the things which, by the order of the Lord his God, are not to be done, causing sin to come on him;

bbe@Leviticus:4:27 @And if any one of the common people does wrong in error, doing any of the things which the Lord has given orders are not to be done, causing sin to come on him;

bbe@Leviticus: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:5:4 @Or if anyone, without thought, takes an oath to do evil or to do good, whatever he says without thought, with an oath, having no knowledge of what he is doing; when it becomes clear to him, he will be responsible for any of these things.

bbe@Leviticus:5:7 @And if he has not money enough for a lamb, then let him give, for his offering to the Lord, two doves or two young pigeons; one for a sin-offering and one for a burned offering.

bbe@Leviticus:5:8 @And let him take them to the priest, who will first give the sin-offering, twisting off its head from its neck, but not cutting it in two;

bbe@Leviticus:5:11 @But if he has not enough money for two doves or two young pigeons, then let him give, for the sin he has done, the tenth part of an ephah of the best meal, for a sin-offering; let him put no oil on it, and no perfume, for it is a sin-offering.

bbe@Leviticus:5:17 @And if anyone does wrong, and does any of the things which the Lord has given orders are not to be done, though he has no knowledge of it, still he is in the wrong and he is responsible.

bbe@Leviticus:6:17 @It is not to be cooked with leaven. I have given it to them as their part of the offerings made by fire to me; it is most holy, as are the sin-offerings and the offerings for error.

bbe@Leviticus:6:23 @Every meal offering offered for the priest is to be completely burned: nothing of it is to be taken for food.

bbe@Leviticus:6:30 @No sin-offering, the blood of which is taken into the Tent of meeting, to take away sin in the holy place, may be used for food: it is to be burned with fire.

bbe@Leviticus:7:15 @And the flesh of the praise-offering is to be taken as food on the day when it is offered; no part of it may be kept till the morning.

bbe@Leviticus:7:18 @And if any of the flesh of the peace-offering is taken as food on the third day, it will not be pleasing to God and will not be put to the account of him who gives it; it will be unclean and a cause of sin to him who takes it as food.

bbe@Leviticus:7:19 @And flesh touched by any unclean thing may not be taken for food: it is to be burned with fire; and as for the flesh of the peace-offerings, everyone who is clean may take it as food:

bbe@Leviticus:7:23 @Say to the children of Israel: You are not to take any fat, of ox or sheep or goat, for food.

bbe@Leviticus:7:24 @And the fat of that which comes to a natural death, and the fat of that which is attacked by beasts, may be used for other purposes, but not in any way for food.

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

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:8:35 @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: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:10:3 @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:10:6 @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:10:9 @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:10:17 @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:10:20 @And after hearing this, Moses was no longer angry.

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:11:6 @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:11:11 @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:11:26 @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:11:41 @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:11:47 @Marking out the unclean from the clean, and the living thing which may be used for food from that which may not.

bbe@Leviticus:12:4 @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:12:8 @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:13:4 @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:13:11 @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:13:21 @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:13:23 @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:13:26 @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:13:28 @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:13:31 @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:13:39 @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:13:53 @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:13:55 @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: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:14:32 @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:14:36 @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:14:48 @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:15:25 @And if a woman has a flow of blood for a long time, not at the time when she generally has it, or if the flow goes on longer than the normal time, she will be unclean while the flow of blood goes on, as she is at other normal times.

bbe@Leviticus:15:26 @Every bed on which she has been resting will be unclean, as at the times when she normally has a flow of blood, and everything on which she has been seated will be unclean, in the same way.

bbe@Leviticus:15:31 @In this way may the children of Israel be made free from all sorts of unclean conditions, so that death may not overtake them when they are unclean and when they make unclean my holy place which is among them.

bbe@Leviticus:16:2 @The Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron, your brother, that he may not come at all times into the holy place inside the veil, before the cover which is on the ark, for fear that death may overtake him; for I will be seen in the cloud on the cover of the ark.

bbe@Leviticus:16:13 @And let him put the perfume on the fire before the Lord so that the ark may be covered with a cloud of the smoke of the perfume, in order that death may not overtake him.

bbe@Leviticus:16:17 @And no man may be in the Tent of meeting from the time when Aaron goes in to take away sin in the holy place till he comes out, having made himself and his house and all the people of Israel free from sin.

bbe@Leviticus:16:29 @And let this be an order to you for ever: in the seventh month, on the tenth day, you are to keep yourselves from pleasure and do no sort of work, those who are Israelites by birth and those from other lands who are living among you:

bbe@Leviticus:17:4 @And has not taken it to the door of the Tent of meeting, to make an offering to the Lord, before the Lord's House, its blood will be on him, for he has taken life, and he will be cut off from among his people:

bbe@Leviticus:17:7 @And let them make no more offerings to evil spirits, after which they have gone, turning away from the Lord. Let this be a law to them for ever, through all their generations.

bbe@Leviticus:17:9 @And does not take it to the door of the Tent of meeting to make an offering to the Lord, that man will be cut off from among his people.

bbe@Leviticus:17:12 @For this reason I have said to the children of Israel, No man among you, or any others living with you, may take blood as food.

bbe@Leviticus:17:14 @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:18:3 @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:18:6 @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:18:12 @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:18:26 @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:18:28 @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:18:30 @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:19:3 @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:19:7 @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:19:9 @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:19:23 @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:19:26 @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:19:32 @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:19:35 @Do not make false decisions in questions of yard-sticks and weights and measures.

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:20:10 @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:20:14 @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:20:19 @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:20:25 @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: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:21:3 @And for his sister, a virgin, for she is his near relation and has had no husband, he may make himself unclean.

bbe@Leviticus:21:6 @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:21:10 @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:21:14 @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:21:17 @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:21:21 @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: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:22:8 @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:22:10 @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:22:12 @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:22:15 @And they may not make common the holy things which the children of Israel give to the Lord,

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

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

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: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:23:7 @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:23:14 @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:23:21 @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:23:25 @Do no field-work 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:23:31 @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:23:35 @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: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:24:22 @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:25:4 @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:25:11 @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:25:14 @And in the business of trading goods for money, do no wrong to one another.

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:25:20 @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:25:23 @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:25:26 @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:25:28 @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:25:30 @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:25:33 @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:25:39 @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:25:42 @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:25:46 @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:25:53 @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: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:26:6 @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:26:11 @And I will put my holy House among you, and my soul will not be turned away from you in disgust

bbe@Leviticus:26:13 @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:26:20 @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:26:23 @And if by these things you will not be turned to me, but still go against me;

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:26:31 @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:26:36 @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:26:44 @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: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:27:20 @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:27:22 @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:27:26 @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:27:33 @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@Numbers:1:47 @But the Levites, of the tribe of their fathers, were not numbered among them.

bbe@Numbers:1:49 @Only the tribe of Levi is not to be numbered among the children of Israel,

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:2:25 @On the north side will be the flag of the children of Dan, with Ahiezer, the son of Ammishaddai, as their chief.

bbe@Numbers:2:33 @But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel, as the Lord said to Moses.

bbe@Numbers:3:1 @Now these are the generations of Aaron and Moses, in the day when the word of the Lord came to Moses on Mount Sinai.

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:3:35 @The chief of the families of Merari was Zuriel, the son of Abihail: their tents are to be placed on the north side of the House.

bbe@Numbers:3:49 @So Moses took the money, the price of those whose place had not been taken by the Levites;

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:4:18 @Do not let the family of the Kohathites be cut off from among the Levites;

bbe@Numbers:4:19 @But do this to them, so that life and not death may be theirs when they come near the most holy things; let Aaron and his sons go in and give to every one his work and that which he is to take up;

bbe@Numbers:4:20 @But they themselves are not to go in to see the holy place, even for a minute, for fear of death.

bbe@Numbers:5:3 @Male or female they are to be put outside the tent-circle, so that they may not make unclean my resting-place among them.

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:5:19 @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:5:29 @This is the law for testing a wife who goes with another in place of her husband and becomes unclean;

bbe@Numbers:6:3 @He is to keep himself from wine and strong drink, and take no mixed wine or strong drink or any drink made from grapes, or any grapes, green or dry.

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:6:5 @All the time he is under his oath let no blade come near his head; till the days while he is separate are ended he is holy and his hair may not be cut.

bbe@Numbers:6:6 @All the time he is separate he may not come near any dead body.

bbe@Numbers:6:7 @He may not make himself unclean for his father or his mother, his sister or his brother, if death comes to them; because he is under an oath to keep himself separate for God.

bbe@Numbers: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: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:8:19 @And I have given them to Aaron and to his sons, from among the children of Israel, to undertake for them all the work of the Tent of meeting, and to take away sin from the children of Israel so that no evil may come on them when they come near the holy place.

bbe@Numbers:8:25 @But after they are fifty years old, they are to give up their work and do no more;

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:9:6 @And there were certain men who were unclean because of a dead body, so that they were not able to keep the Passover on that day; and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day:

bbe@Numbers:9:7 @And these men said to him, We have been made unclean by the dead body of a man; why may we not make the offering of the Lord at the regular time among the children of Israel?

bbe@Numbers:9:8 @And Moses said to them, Do nothing till the Lord gives me directions about you.

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:9:13 @But the man who, not being unclean or on a journey, does not keep the Passover, will be cut off from his people: because he did not make the offering of the Lord at the regular time, his sin will be on him.

bbe@Numbers:9:14 @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:9:18 @At the order of the Lord the children of Israel went forward, and at the order of the Lord they put up their tents: as long as the cloud was resting on the House, they did not go away from that place.

bbe@Numbers:9:19 @When the cloud was resting on the House for a long time the children of Israel, waiting for the order of the Lord, did not go on.

bbe@Numbers:9:22 @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:10:5 @When a loud note is sounded, the tents placed on the east side are to go forward.

bbe@Numbers:10:6 @At the sound of a second loud note, the tents on the south side are to go forward: the loud note will be the sign to go forward.

bbe@Numbers:10:7 @But when all the people are to come together, the horn is to be sounded but not loudly.

bbe@Numbers:10:9 @And if you go to war in your land against any who do you wrong, then let the loud note of the horn be sounded; and the Lord your God will keep you in mind and give you salvation from those who are against you

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:10:30 @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:10:31 @And he said, Do not go from us; for you will be eyes for us, guiding us to the right places in the waste land to put up our tents.

bbe@Numbers: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:11:5 @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:11:6 @But now our soul is wasted away; there is nothing at all: we have nothing but this manna before our eyes.

bbe@Numbers:11:7 @Now the manna was like a seed of grain, like small clear drops.

bbe@Numbers:11:11 @And Moses said to the Lord, Why have you done me this evil? and why have I not grace in your eyes, that you have put on me the care of all this people?

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:11:15 @If this is to be my fate, put me to death now in answer to my prayer, if I have grace in your eyes; and let me not see my shame.

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:11:19 @Not for one day only, or even for five or ten or twenty days;

bbe@Numbers:11:23 @And the Lord said to Moses, Has the Lord's hand become short? Now you will see if my word comes true for you or not.

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: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:12:3 @Now the man Moses was more gentle than any other man on earth.

bbe@Numbers:12:6 @And he said, Now give ear to my words: if there is a prophet among you I will give him knowledge of myself in a vision and will let my words come to him in a dream.

bbe@Numbers:12:7 @My servant Moses is not so; he is true to me in all my house:

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:12:10 @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:12:11 @Then Aaron said to Moses, O my lord, let not our sin be on our heads, for we have done foolishly and are sinners.

bbe@Numbers:12:12 @Let her not be as one dead, whose flesh is half wasted when he comes out from the body of his mother.

bbe@Numbers:12:14 @And the Lord said to Moses, If her father had put a mark of shame on her, would she not be shamed for seven days? Let her be shut up outside the tent-circle for seven days, and after that she may come in again.

bbe@Numbers:12:15 @So Miriam was shut up outside the tent-circle for seven days: and the people did not go forward on their journey till Miriam had come in again.

bbe@Numbers:13:2 @Send men to get knowledge about the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the children of Israel; from every tribe of their fathers you are to send a man, every one a chief among them.

bbe@Numbers:13:16 @These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to get knowledge about the land. And Moses gave to Hoshea, the son of Nun, the name of Joshua.

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:13:22 @They went up into the South and came to Hebron; and Ahiman and Sheshai and Talmai, the children of Anak, were living there. (Now the building of Hebron took place seven years before that of Zoan in Egypt.)

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:13:33 @There we saw those great men, the sons of Anak, offspring of the Nephilim: and we seemed to ourselves no more than insects, and so we seemed to them.

bbe@Numbers:14:3 @Why is the Lord taking us into this land to come to our death by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will get into strange hands: would it not be better for us to go back to Egypt?

bbe@Numbers:14:4 @And they said to one another, Let us make a captain over us, and go back to Egypt.

bbe@Numbers:14:9 @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:14:15 @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:14:16 @Because the Lord was not able to take this people into the land which he made an oath to give them, he sent destruction on them in the waste land.

bbe@Numbers:14:17 @So now, may my prayer come before you, and let the power of the Lord be great, as you said:

bbe@Numbers:14:18 @The Lord is slow to wrath and great in mercy, overlooking wrongdoing and evil, and will not let wrongdoers go free; sending punishment on children for the sins of their fathers, to the third and fourth generation.

bbe@Numbers:14:19 @May the sin of this people have forgiveness, in the measure of your great mercy, as you have had mercy on them from Egypt up till now.

bbe@Numbers:14:22 @Because all these men, having seen my glory and the signs which I have done in Egypt and in the waste land, still have put me to the test ten times, and have not given ear to my voice;

bbe@Numbers:14:23 @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:14:25 @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:14:30 @Not one will come into the land which I gave my word you would have for your resting-place, but only Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, the son of Nun.

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:14:38 @But Joshua, the son of Nun, and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, of those who went to see the land, were not touched by disease.

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:14:44 @But they gave no attention to his words and went to the top of the mountain, though Moses and the ark of the Lord's agreement did not go out of the tent-circle.

bbe@Numbers:15:14 @And if a man from another country or any other person living among you, through all your generations, has the desire to give an offering made by fire of a sweet smell to the Lord, let him do as you do.

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:15:24 @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:15:29 @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:15:32 @Now while the children of Israel were in the waste land, they saw a man who was getting sticks on the Sabbath day.

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:15:39 @So that, looking on these ornaments, you may keep in mind the orders of the Lord and do them; and not be guided by the desires of your hearts and eyes, through which you have been untrue to me:

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:16:8 @And Moses said to Korah, Give ear now, you sons of Levi:

bbe@Numbers:16:10 @Letting you, and all your brothers the sons of Levi, come near to him? and would you now be priests?

bbe@Numbers:16:12 @Then Moses sent for Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: and they said, We will not come up:

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:16:15 @Then Moses was very angry, and said to the Lord, Give no attention to their offering: not one of their asses have I taken, or done wrong to any of them.

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:16:28 @And Moses said, Now you will see that the Lord has sent me to do all these works, and I have not done them of myself.

bbe@Numbers:16:29 @If these men have the common death of men, or if the natural fate of all men overtakes them, then the Lord has not sent me.

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:16:40 @To be a sign, kept in memory for ever by the children of Israel, that no man who is not of the seed of Aaron has the right of burning spices before the Lord, so that he may not be like Korah and his band: as the Lord said to him by the mouth of Moses.

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:16:49 @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:17:8 @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:18:3 @They are to do your orders and be responsible for the work of the Tent; but they may not come near the vessels of the holy place or the altar, so that death may not overtake them or you.

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:18:17 @But no such payment may be made for the first birth of an ox or a sheep or a goat; these are holy: their blood is to be dropped on the altar, and their fat burned for an offering made by fire, a sweet smell to the Lord.

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:18:22 @In future the children of Israel are not to come near the Tent of meeting, so that death may not come to them because of sin.

bbe@Numbers:18:23 @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:18:32 @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:19:10 @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:19:20 @But the man who, being unclean, does not make himself clean in this way, will be cut off from the meeting of the people, because he has made the holy place of the Lord unclean: the water has not been put on him, he is unclean.

bbe@Numbers:20:2 @And there was no water for the people: and they came together against Moses and against Aaron.

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:20:10 @Then Moses and Aaron made the people come together in front of the rock, and he said to them, Give ear now, you people whose hearts are turned from the Lord; are we to get water for you out of the rock?

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:20:14 @Then Moses sent men from Kadesh to the king of Edom to say to him, Your brother Israel says, You have knowledge of all the things we have been through;

bbe@Numbers:20:16 @And the Lord gave ear to the voice of our cry, and sent an angel and took us out of Egypt: and now we are in Kadesh, a town on the edge of your land;

bbe@Numbers:20:17 @Let us now go through your land: we will not go into field or vine-garden, or take the water of the springs; we will go by the highway, not turning to the right or to the left, till we have gone past the limits of your land.

bbe@Numbers:20:18 @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:20:21 @So Edom would not let Israel go through his land; and Israel went in another direction.

bbe@Numbers:20:24 @Aaron will be put to rest with his people; he will not go into the land which I have given to the children of Israel, because you went against my word at the waters of Meribah.

bbe@Numbers:21:5 @And crying out against God and against Moses, they said, Why have you taken us out of Egypt to come to our death in the waste land? For there is no bread and no water, and this poor bread is disgusting to us.

bbe@Numbers:21:13 @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:21:22 @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:21:23 @And Sihon would not let Israel go through his land; but got all his people together and went out against Israel into the waste land, as far as Jahaz, to make war on Israel.

bbe@Numbers:21:24 @But Israel overcame him, and took all his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as the country of the children of Ammon, for the country of the children of Ammon was strongly armed.

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:21:28 @For a fire has gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the town of Sihon: for the destruction of Ar in Moab, and the lords of the high places of the Arnon.

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:21:34 @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:22:2 @Now Balak, the son of Zippor, saw what Israel had done to the Amorites.

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:22:11 @See, the people who have come out of Egypt are covering all the earth: now, put a curse on this people for me, so that I may be able to make war on them, driving them out of the land.

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:22:16 @And they came to Balaam and said, Balak, son of Zippor, says, Let nothing keep you from coming to me:

bbe@Numbers:22:17 @For I will give you a place of very great honour, and whatever you say to me I will do; so come, in answer to my prayer, and put a curse on this people.

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:22:19 @So take your rest here this night, till I have knowledge what more the Lord has to say to me.

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:22:26 @Then the angel of the Lord went further, stopping in a narrow place where there was no room for turning to the right or to the left.

bbe@Numbers:22:30 @And the ass said to Balaam, Am I not your ass upon which you have gone all your life till this day? and have I ever done this to you before? And he said, No.

bbe@Numbers:22:32 @And the angel of the Lord said to him, Why have you given your ass blows these three times? See, I have come out against you to keep you back, because your purpose is not pleasing to me.

bbe@Numbers:22:33 @And the ass saw me, turning to one side from me three times: if she had not gone to one side, I would certainly have put you to death and kept her safe.

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:22:36 @Now Balak, hearing that Balaam had come, went to the chief town of Moab, on the edge of the Arnon, in the farthest part of the land, for the purpose of meeting him.

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:22:38 @Then Balaam said to Balak, Now I have come to you; but have I power to say anything? Only what God puts into my mouth may I say.

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:23:12 @And in answer he said, Am I not ordered to say only what the Lord puts into my mouth?

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:23:19 @God is not a man, to say what is false; or the son of man, that his purpose may be changed: what he has said, will he not do? and will he not give effect to the words of his mouth?

bbe@Numbers:23:20 @See, I have had orders to give blessing: and he has given a blessing which I have no power to take away.

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:23:23 @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:23:24 @See, Israel comes up like a she-lion, lifting himself up like a lion: he will take no rest till he has made a meal of those he has overcome, drinking the blood of those he has put to death.

bbe@Numbers:23:25 @Then Balak said to Balaam, If you will not put a curse on them, at all events do not give them a blessing.

bbe@Numbers:23:26 @But Balaam in answer said to Balak, Did I not say to you, I may only do what the Lord says?

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:24:7 @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:24:10 @Then Balak was full of wrath against Balaam, and angrily waving his hands he said to Balaam, I sent for you so that those who are against me might be cursed, but now, see, three times you have given them a blessing.

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:24:12 @Then Balaam said to Balak, Did I not say to the men you sent to me,

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:24:14 @So now I will go back to my people: but first let me make clear to you what this people will do to your people in days to come.

bbe@Numbers:24:16 @He says, whose ear is open to the words of God, who has knowledge of the Most High, who has seen the vision of the Ruler of all, falling down and having his eyes 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: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:25:2 @For they sent for the people to be present at the offerings made to their gods; and the people took part in their feasts and gave honour to their gods.

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:25:11 @Through Phinehas, and because of his passion for my honour, my wrath has been turned away from the children of Israel, so that I have not sent destruction on them all in my wrath.

bbe@Numbers:25:13 @And by this agreement, he and his sons after him have the right to be priests for ever; because, by his care for the honour of his God, he took away the sin of the children of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:25:14 @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:26:1 @Now after the disease was over, the Lord said to Moses and Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest,

bbe@Numbers:26:5 @Reuben, the first son of Israel: the sons of Reuben by their families: of Hanoch, the family of the Hanochites: of Pallu, the family of the Palluites:

bbe@Numbers:26:11 @But death did not overtake the sons of Korah

bbe@Numbers:26:33 @And Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, had no sons, but only daughters, and the names of the daughters of Zelophehad were Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

bbe@Numbers:26:62 @Of these, twenty-three thousand males, from one month old and over, were numbered: they were not numbered with the rest of the children of Israel, for they had no heritage among the children of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:26:64 @But among all these was not one of those numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest when the children of Israel were numbered in the waste land of Sinai.

bbe@Numbers:27:1 @Then the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, came forward: their names are Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.

bbe@Numbers:27:3 @Death overtook our father in the waste land; he was not among those who were banded together with Korah against the Lord; but death came to him in his sin; and he had no sons.

bbe@Numbers:27:4 @Why is the name of our father to be taken away from among his family, because he had no son? Give us a heritage among our father's brothers.

bbe@Numbers:27:8 @And say to the children of Israel, If a man has no son at the time of his death, let his heritage go to his daughter.

bbe@Numbers:27:9 @And if he has no daughter, then give his heritage to his brothers.

bbe@Numbers:27:10 @And if he has no brothers, then give his heritage to his father's brothers.

bbe@Numbers:27:11 @And if his father has no brothers, then give it to his nearest relation in the family, as his heritage: this is to be a decision made by law for the children of Israel, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

bbe@Numbers:27:14 @Because in the waste land of Zin, when the people were angry, you and he went against my word and did not keep my name holy before their eyes, at the waters. (These are the waters of Meribah in Kadesh in the waste land of Zin.)

bbe@Numbers:27:17 @To go out and come in before them and be their guide; so that the people of the Lord may not be like sheep without a keeper.

bbe@Numbers:27:20 @And put your honour on him, so that all the children of Israel may be under his authority.

bbe@Numbers:28:18 @On the first day there is to be a holy meeting: you may do no sort of field-work:

bbe@Numbers:28:25 @Then on the seventh day there will be a holy meeting; you may do no field-work.

bbe@Numbers:28:26 @And at the time of the first-fruits, when you give an offering of new meal to the Lord at your feast of weeks, there is to be a holy meeting: you may do no field-work:

bbe@Numbers:29:1 @In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, let there be a holy meeting; on it you may do no field-work; let the day be marked by the blowing of horns;

bbe@Numbers:29:7 @And on the tenth day of this seventh month there will be a holy meeting; keep yourselves from pleasure, and do no sort of work;

bbe@Numbers:29:12 @And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month let there be a holy meeting; do no field-work, and keep a feast to the Lord for seven days;

bbe@Numbers:29:35 @On the eighth day let there be a holy meeting: you may do no field-work;

bbe@Numbers:30:2 @When a man takes an oath to the Lord, or gives an undertaking having the force of an oath, let him not go back from his word, but let him do whatever he has said he will do.

bbe@Numbers:30:4 @If her father, hearing of her oath or the undertaking she has given, says nothing to her, then all her oaths and every undertaking she has given will have force.

bbe@Numbers:30:5 @But if her father, hearing of it, makes her take back her word, then the oaths or the undertakings she has given will have no force; and she will have forgiveness from the Lord, because her oath was broken by her father.

bbe@Numbers:30:7 @If her husband, hearing of it, says nothing to her at the time, then the oaths she made and the undertakings she gave will have force.

bbe@Numbers:30:8 @But if her husband, hearing of it, makes her take it back, then the oath she made and the undertaking she gave without thought will have no force or effect, and she will have the Lord's forgiveness.

bbe@Numbers:30:9 @But an oath made by a widow or one who is no longer married to her husband, and every undertaking she has given, will have force.

bbe@Numbers:30:11 @And her husband, hearing of it, said nothing to her and did not put a stop to it, then all her oaths and every undertaking she gave will have force.

bbe@Numbers:30:12 @But if her husband, on hearing of it, made them without force or effect, then whatever she has said about her oaths or her undertaking has no force: her husband has made them without effect, and she will have the Lord's forgiveness.

bbe@Numbers:30:14 @But if the days go on, and her husband says nothing whatever to her, then he is giving the support of his authority to her oaths and undertakings, because at the time of hearing them he said nothing to her.

bbe@Numbers: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:31:17 @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:31:23 @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:31:32 @Now the beasts taken, in addition to what the fighting-men took for themselves, were six hundred and seventy-five thousand sheep,

bbe@Numbers:31:43 @(Now the people's half was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand, five hundred sheep,

bbe@Numbers:31:49 @And said to him, Your servants have taken note of the number of all the fighting-men under our orders, and every one is present;

bbe@Numbers:32:1 @Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a great number of cattle: and when they saw that the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead was a good place for cattle;

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:32:14 @And now you have come to take the place of your fathers, another generation of sinners, increasing the wrath of the Lord against Israel.

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:32:30 @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:32:42 @And Nobah went and took Kenath and its small towns, naming it Nobah, after himself.

bbe@Numbers:33:14 @And they went on from Alush, and put up their tents in Rephidim, where there was no drinking-water for the people.

bbe@Numbers:33:42 @And they went on from Zalmonah, and put up their tents in Punon.

bbe@Numbers:33:43 @And they went on from Punon, and put up their tents in Oboth.

bbe@Numbers:34:7 @And your limit on the north will be the line from the Great Sea to Mount Hor:

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: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:35:11 @Then let certain towns be marked out as safe places to which anyone who takes the life of another in error may go in flight.

bbe@Numbers:35:12 @In these towns you may be safe from him who has the right of punishment; so that death may not overtake the taker of life till he has been judged by the meeting of the people.

bbe@Numbers:35:15 @For the children of Israel and for the man from another country who is living among them, these six towns are to be safe places, where anyone causing the death of another through error may go in flight.

bbe@Numbers:35:16 @But if a man gives another man a blow with an iron instrument, causing his death, he is a taker of life and is certainly to be put to death.

bbe@Numbers:35:22 @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:35:27 @And the giver of punishment, meeting him outside the walls of the town, puts him to death, he will not be responsible for his blood:

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:35:31 @Further, no price may be given for the life of one who has taken life and whose right reward is death: he is certainly to be put to death.

bbe@Numbers:35:32 @And no price may be offered for one who has gone in flight to a safe town, for the purpose of letting him come back to his place before the death of the high priest.

bbe@Numbers:35:33 @So do not make the land where you are living unholy: for blood makes the land unholy: and there is no way of making the land free from the blood which has come on it, but only by the death of him who was the cause of it.

bbe@Numbers:35:34 @Do not make unclean the land where you are living and in which is my House: for I the Lord am present among the children of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:36:1 @Now the heads of the families of the children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came to Moses, the chiefs and the heads of families of the children of Israel being present,

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:36:7 @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:36:9 @And no property will be handed from one tribe to another, but every tribe of the children of Israel will keep its heritage.

bbe@Numbers:36:11 @For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, took as their husbands the sons of their father's brothers:

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:1 @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:1:3 @Now in the fortieth year, on the first day of the eleventh month, Moses gave to the children of Israel all the orders which the Lord had given him for them;

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:1:5 @On the far side of Jordan in the land of Moab, Moses gave the people this law, saying,

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:6 @The Lord our God said to us in Horeb, You have been long enough in this mountain:

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:1:8 @See, all the land is before you: go in and take for yourselves the land which the Lord gave by an oath to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and to their seed after them.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:9 @At that time I said to you, I am not able to undertake the care of you by myself;

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:10 @The Lord your God has given you increase, and now you are like the stars of heaven in number.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:11 @May the Lord, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times greater in number than you are, and give you his blessing as he has said!

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:12 @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:1:13 @Take for yourselves men who are wise, far-seeing, and respected among you, from your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:14 @And you made answer and said to me, It is good for us to do as you say.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:15 @So I took the heads of your tribes, wise men and respected, and made them rulers over you, captains of thousands and captains of hundreds and captains of fifties and captains of tens, and overseers of your tribes.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:16 @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:1:18 @And at that time I gave you all the orders which you were to do.

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:1:23 @And what you said seemed good to me, and I took twelve men from among you, one from every tribe;

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:24 @And they went up into the hill-country and came to the valley of Eshcol, and saw what was there.

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:1:26 @But going against the order of the Lord your God, you would not go up:

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:1:29 @Then I said to you, Have no fear of them.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:30 @The Lord your God who goes before you will be fighting for you, and will do such wonders as he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:31 @And in the waste land, where you have seen how the Lord was supporting you, as a man does his son, in all your journeying till you came to this place.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:32 @But for all this, you had no faith in the Lord your God,

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:33 @Who goes before you on your way, looking for a place where you may put up your tents, in fire by night, lighting up the way you are to go, and in a cloud by day.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:34 @And the Lord, hearing your words, was angry, and said with an oath,

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:35 @Truly, not one of this evil generation will see that good land which I said I would give to your fathers,

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:1:40 @But as for you, go back, journeying into the waste land by the way of the Red Sea.

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:1:42 @And the Lord said to me, Say to them, Do not go up to the attack; for I am not among you, and you will be overcome by those who are against you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:43 @This I said to you, but you gave no attention and went against the orders of the Lord, and in your pride went up 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:1:45 @And you came back, weeping before the Lord; but the Lord gave no attention to your cries and did not give ear to you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:46 @So you were kept waiting in Kadesh for a long time.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:1 @Then we went back, journeying into the waste land by the way to the Red Sea, as the Lord had said to me: and we were a long time going round Mount Seir.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:2 @And the Lord said to me,

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:3 @You have been journeying round this mountain long enough: now go to the north;

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:4 @And give the people orders, saying, You are about to go through the land of your brothers, the children of Esau, who are living in Seir; and they will have fear of you; so take care what you do:

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:2:6 @You may get food for your needs from them for a price, and water for drinking.

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:2:8 @So we went on past our brothers, the children of Esau, living in Seir, by the road through the Arabah, from Elath and Ezion-geber. And turning, we went by the road through the waste land of Moab.

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:2:10 @(In the past the Emim were living there; a great people, equal in numbers to the Anakim and as tall;

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:2:13 @Get up now, and go over the stream Zered. So we went over the stream Zered.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:14 @Thirty-eight years had gone by from the time when we came away from Kadesh-barnea till we went over the stream Zered; by that time all the generation of the men of war among us were dead, as the Lord had said.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:15 @For the hand of the Lord was against them, working their destruction, till all were dead.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:16 @So when death had overtaken all the men of war among the people,

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:17 @The word of the Lord came to me, saying,

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:2:21 @They were a great people, tall as the Anakim, and equal to them in number; but the Lord sent destruction on them and the children of Ammon took their place, living in their land;

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:2:23 @And the Avvim, living in the small towns as far as Gaza, came to destruction by the hands of the Caphtorim who came out from Caphtor and took their land.)

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:2:27 @Let me go through your land: I will keep to the highway, not turning to the right or to the left;

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:28 @Let me have food, at a price, for my needs, and water for drinking: only let me go through on foot;

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:2:33 @And the Lord our God gave him into our hands; and we overcame him and his sons and all his people.

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:2:36 @From Aroer on the edge of the valley of the Arnon and from the town in the valley as far as Gilead, no town was strong enough to keep us out; the Lord our God gave them all into our hands:

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:37 @But you did not go near the land of the children of Ammon, that is, all the side of the river Jabbok or the towns of the hill-country, wherever the Lord our God had said we were not to go.

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:3:3 @So the Lord our God gave up Og, king of Bashan, and all his people into our hands; and we overcame him so completely that all his people came to their end in the fight.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:4 @At that time we took all his towns; there was not one town of the sixty towns, all the country of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan, which we did not take.

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:3:7 @But we took for ourselves all the cattle and the stored wealth of the towns.

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:3:10 @All the towns of the table-land and all Gilead and Bashan as far as Salecah and Edrei, towns of the kingdom of Og in Bashan

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:3:15 @And Gilead I gave to Machir.

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:3:21 @And I gave orders to Joshua at that time, saying, Your eyes have seen what the Lord your God has done to these two kings: so will the Lord do to all the kingdoms into which you come.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:22 @Have no fear of them, for the Lord your God will be fighting for you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:23 @And at that time I made request to the Lord, saying,

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:24 @O Lord God, you have now for the first time let your servant see your great power and the strength of your hand; for what god is there in heaven or on earth able to do such great works and such acts of power?

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:25 @Let me go over, O Lord, and see the good land on the other side of Jordan, and that fair mountain country, even Lebanon.

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:4:1 @And now give ear, O Israel, to the laws and the decisions which I am teaching you, and do them; so that life may be yours, and you may go in and take for yourselves the land which the Lord, the God of your fathers, is giving you.

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:4:3 @Your eyes have seen what the Lord did because of Baal-peor: for destruction came from the Lord on all those among you who went after Baal-peor.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:4 @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:4:6 @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:4:9 @Only take care, and keep watch on your soul, for fear that the things which your eyes have seen go from your memory and from your heart all the days of your life; but let the knowledge of them be given to your children and to your children's children;

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:4:12 @And the voice of the Lord came to you out of the fire: the sound of his words came to your ears but you saw no form; there was nothing but a voice.

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:4:16 @So that you may not be turned to evil ways and make for yourselves an image in the form of any living thing, male or female,

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:17 @Or any beast of the earth, or winged bird of the air,

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:18 @Or of anything which goes flat on the earth, or any fish in the water under the earth.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:19 @And when your eyes are lifted up to heaven, and you see the sun and the moon and the stars, all the army of heaven, do not let yourselves be moved to give them worship, or become the servants of what the Lord has given equally to all peoples under heaven.

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:4:24 @For the Lord your God is an all-burning fire, and he will not let the honour which is his be given to any other.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:25 @If, when you have had children and children's children, and have been living a long time in the land, you are turned to evil ways, and make an image of any sort, and do evil in the eyes of the Lord your God, moving him to wrath:

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:4:27 @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:4:28 @There you will be the servants of gods, made by men's hands, of wood and stone, having no power of seeing or hearing or taking food or smelling.

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:4:30 @When you are in trouble and all these things have come on you, if, in the future, you are turned again to the Lord your God, and give ear to his voice:

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:4:33 @Has any people ever gone on living after hearing the voice of God out of the heart of the fire as you did?

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:4:35 @All this he let you see, so that you might be certain that the Lord is God and there is no other.

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:4:39 @So today be certain, and keep the knowledge deep in your hearts, that the Lord is God, in heaven on high and here on earth; there is no other God.

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:4:41 @Then Moses had three towns marked out on the far side of Jordan looking to the east;

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:42 @To which anyone causing the death of his neighbour in error and not through hate, might go in flight; so that in one of these towns he might be kept from death:

bbe@Deuteronomy: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:4:44 @This is the law which Moses put before the children of Israel:

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:45 @These are the rules and the laws and the decisions which Moses gave to the children of Israel after they came out of Egypt;

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:4:48 @From Aroer on the edge of the valley of the Arnon as far as Mount Sion, which is Hermon,

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:49 @And all the Arabah on the far side of Jordan to the east, as far as the sea of the Arabah under the slopes of Pisgah.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:1 @And Moses sent for all Israel, and said to them, Give ear, O Israel, to the laws and the decisions which I give you today, and give attention to them so that you may keep and do them.

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:5:4 @The word of the Lord came to you face to face on the mountain, out of the heart of the fire,

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:5 @(I was between the Lord and you at that time, to make clear to you the word of the Lord: because, through fear of the fire, you did not go up the mountain;) saying,

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:6 @I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:7 @You are to have no other gods but me.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:8 @You may not make for yourselves an image in the form of anything in heaven or on earth or in the waters under the earth:

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:9 @You may not go down on your faces before them or give them worship: for I, the Lord your God, am a God who will not give his honour to another; and I will send punishment on the children for the wrongdoing of their fathers, to the third and fourth generation of my haters;

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:10 @And I will have mercy through a thousand generations on those who have love for me and keep my laws.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:11 @You are not to make use of the name of the Lord your God for an evil purpose; whoever takes the Lord's name on his lips for an evil purpose will be judged as a sinner by the Lord.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:12 @Keep the Sabbath day as a holy day, as you have been ordered by the Lord your God

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:13 @On six days do all your work:

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:14 @But the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God; on that day do no work, you or your son or your daughter, or your man-servant or your woman-servant, or your ox or your ass or any of your cattle, or the man from a strange country who is living among you; so that your man-servant and your woman-servant may have rest as well as you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:15 @And keep in mind that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord your God took you out of that land by his strong hand and his stretched-out arm: for this reason the Lord has given you orders to keep the Sabbath day.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:16 @Give honour to your father and your mother, as you have been ordered by the Lord your God; so that your life may be long and all may be well for you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:17 @Do not put anyone to death without cause.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:18 @Do not be false to the married relation.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:19 @Do not take the property of another.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:20 @Do not give false witness against your neighbour;

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:21 @Or let your desire be turned to your neighbour's wife, or his house or his field or his man-servant or his woman-servant or his ox or his ass or anything which is your neighbour's.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:22 @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:5:24 @And said, The Lord has let us see his glory and his power, and his voice has come to us out of the fire: today we have seen that a man may go on living even after hearing the voice of God.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:25 @Why then is death to be our fate? For if the voice of the Lord our God comes to us any more, death will overtake us, and we will be burned up in this great fire.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:26 @For what man is there in all the earth, who, hearing the voice of the living God as we have, out of the heart of the fire, has been kept from death?

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:5:28 @Then the Lord, hearing your words to me, said to me, The words which this people have said to you have come to my ears: what they have said is well said.

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:5:30 @Now say to them, Go back to your tents.

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:5:32 @Take care, then, to do whatever the Lord your God has given you orders to do; let there be no turning away to the right hand or to the left.

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:6:2 @So that living in the fear of the Lord your God, you may keep all his laws and his orders, which I give you: you and your son and your son's son, all the days of your life; and so that your life may be long.

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:6:4 @Give ear, O Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord:

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:6:6 @Keep these words, which I say to you this day, deep in your hearts;

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:6:8 @Let them be fixed as a sign on your hand, and marked on your brow;

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:9 @Have them lettered on the pillars of your houses and over the doors of your towns.

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:6:11 @And houses full of good things not stored up by you, and places for storing water which you did not make, and vine-gardens and olive-trees not of your planting; and you have taken food and are full;

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:12 @Then take care that you keep your hearts true to the Lord, who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house.

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:13 @Let the fear of the Lord your God be in your hearts, and be his servants, taking your oaths by his name.

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:14 @Do not go after other gods, the gods of the peoples round about you;

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:6:16 @Do not put the Lord your God to the test as you did in Massah.

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:6:19 @To send out from before you all those who are against you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:20 @And when your son says to you in time to come, What is the reason for these rules and laws and decisions which the Lord our God has given you?

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:21 @Then you will say to your son, We were servants under Pharaoh's yoke in Egypt; and the Lord took us out of Egypt with a strong hand:

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:22 @And the Lord did great signs and wonders against Egypt, and against Pharaoh and all his house, before our eyes:

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:23 @And he took us out from that place, guiding us here to give us this land, as he said in his oath to our fathers.

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:24 @And the Lord gave us orders to keep all these laws, in the fear of the Lord our God, so that it might be well for us for ever, and that he might keep us from death, as he has done to this day.

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:25 @And it will be our righteousness if we take care to keep all this order before the Lord our God as he has given it to us.

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:1 @When the Lord your God takes you into the land where you are going, which is to be your heritage, and has sent out the nations before you, the Hittites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Canaanites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and stronger than you;

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:2 @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:7:3 @Do not take wives or husbands from among them; do not give your daughters to their sons, or take their daughters for your sons.

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:4 @For through them your sons will be turned from me to the worship of other gods: and the Lord will be moved to wrath against you and send destruction on you quickly.

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:7:6 @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:7:8 @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:7:11 @So keep the orders and the laws and the decisions which I give you today and do them.

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:7:15 @And the Lord will take away from you all disease, and will not put on you any of the evil diseases of Egypt which you have seen, but will put them on your haters.

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:7:17 @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:7:18 @Have no fear of them, but keep well in mind what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt;

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:19 @The great punishments which your eyes saw, and the signs and the wonders and the strong hand and the stretched-out arm, by which the Lord your God took you out: so will the Lord your God do to all the peoples who are the cause of your fears.

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:20 @And the Lord will send a hornet among them, till all the rest who have kept themselves safe from you in secret places have been cut off.

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:7:23 @But the Lord your God will give them up into your hands, overpowering them till their destruction is complete.

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:24 @He will give their kings into your hands, and you will put their names out of existence under heaven; there is not one of them who will not give way before you, till their destruction is complete.

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:8:2 @And keep in mind the way by which the Lord your God has taken you through the waste land these forty years, so that he might make low your pride and put you to the test, to see what was in your heart and if you would keep his orders or not.

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:8:4 @Through all these forty years your clothing did not get old or your feet become tired.

bbe@Deuteronomy:8:5 @Keep in mind this thought, that as a son is trained by his father, so you have been trained by the Lord your God.

bbe@Deuteronomy:8:6 @Then keep the orders of the Lord your God, fearing him and walking in his ways.

bbe@Deuteronomy:8:7 @For the Lord your God is guiding you into a good land, a land of water-springs, of fountains, and deep streams flowing out from the valleys and the hills;

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:8:9 @Where there will be bread for you in full measure and you will be in need of nothing; a land where the very stones are iron and from whose hills you may get copper.

bbe@Deuteronomy:8:10 @And you will have food enough and be full, praising the Lord your God for the good land he has given you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:8:11 @Then take care that you are not turned away from the Lord your God and from keeping his orders and decisions and laws which I give you this day:

bbe@Deuteronomy:8:12 @And when you have taken food and are full, and have made fair houses for yourselves and are living in them;

bbe@Deuteronomy:8:13 @And when your herds and your flocks are increased, and your stores of silver and gold, and you have wealth of every sort;

bbe@Deuteronomy:8:14 @Take care that your hearts are not lifted up in pride, giving no thought to the Lord your God who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house;

bbe@Deuteronomy:8:15 @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:8:16 @Who gave you manna for your food in the waste land, a food which your fathers had never seen; so that your pride might be broken and your hearts tested for your good in the end;

bbe@Deuteronomy:8:17 @Say not then, in your hearts, My power and the strength of my hands have got me this wealth.

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: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:9:2 @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:9:5 @Not for your righteousness or because your hearts are upright are you going in to take their land; but because of the evil-doing of these nations the Lord your God is driving them out from before you, and to give effect to his oath to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:6 @Be certain then that the Lord your God is not giving you this good land as a reward for your righteousness; for you are a stiff-necked people.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:7 @Keep well in mind how you made the Lord your God angry in the waste land; from the day when you went out of Egypt till you came to this place, you have gone against the orders of the Lord.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:8 @Again in Horeb you made the Lord angry, and in his wrath he would have put an end to 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:9:11 @Then at the end of forty days and forty nights the Lord gave me those stones, the stones of the agreement.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:12 @And the Lord said to me, Get up now, and go down quickly from this place; for the people you have taken out of Egypt have given themselves over to evil; they have quickly been turned from the way in which I gave them orders to go; they have made themselves a metal image.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:13 @And then the Lord said to me, I have seen that this people is stiff-necked:

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: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:9:16 @And I saw that you had done evil against the Lord, and had made for yourselves a metal image of a young ox: you had quickly been turned from the way in which the Lord had given you orders to go.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:17 @And I let the stones go from my hands, and they were broken before your eyes.

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:9:20 @And the Lord, in his wrath, would have put Aaron to death: and I made prayer for Aaron at the same time

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:9:22 @Again at Taberah and at Massah and at Kibroth-hattaavah you made the Lord angry.

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:9:24 @From the day when I first had knowledge of you, you have gone against the word of the Lord.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:25 @So I went down on my face in prayer before the Lord for forty days and forty nights as I did at first; because the Lord had said that he would put an end to you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:26 @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:9:27 @Keep in mind your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, not looking at the hard heart of this people, or their evil-doing and their sin:

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:10:1 @At that time the Lord said to me, Make two other stones, cut like the first two, and come up to me on the mountain, and make an ark of wood.

bbe@Deuteronomy:10:2 @And I will put on the stones the words which were on the first stones which were broken by you, and you are to put them into the ark.

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:10:5 @And turning round I came down from the mountain and put the stones in the ark which I had made; and there they are as the Lord gave me orders.

bbe@Deuteronomy:10:6 @(And the children of Israel went on from Beeroth Bene-jaakan to Moserah: there death came to Aaron and he was put to rest in the earth; and Eleazar, his son, took his place as priest.

bbe@Deuteronomy:10:7 @From there they went on to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of streams of water.

bbe@Deuteronomy:10:8 @At that time the Lord had the tribe of Levi marked out to take up the ark of the Lord's agreement, to be before the Lord and to do his work and to give blessings in his name, to this day.

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:10:10 @And I was in the mountain, as at the first time, for forty days and forty nights; and again the ears of the Lord were open to my prayer, and he did not send destruction on you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:10:11 @Then the Lord said to me, Get up and go on your journey before the people, so that they may go in and take the land which I said in my oath to their fathers that I would give them.

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:10:13 @Doing the orders of the Lord and keeping his laws which I give you this day for your good?

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:10:15 @But the Lord had delight in your fathers and love for them, marking out for himself their seed after them, even you, from all peoples, as at this day.

bbe@Deuteronomy:10:16 @Let your circumcision be of the heart, and put away your pride.

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:10:18 @Judging uprightly in the cause of the widow and of the child who has no father, and giving food and clothing in his mercy to the man from a strange country.

bbe@Deuteronomy:10:19 @So be kind to the man from a strange country who is living among you, for you yourselves were living in a strange country in the land of Egypt.

bbe@Deuteronomy:10:20 @Let the fear of the Lord your God be before you, give him worship and be true to him at all times, taking your oaths in his name.

bbe@Deuteronomy:10:21 @He is your God, the God of your praise, your God who has done for you all these works of power which your eyes have seen.

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:11:1 @So have love for the Lord your God, and give him worship, and keep his laws and his decisions and his orders at all times.

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:2 @And be certain in your minds this day; for these words are not said to your children, who have had no experience of the training of the Lord your God, and who have not seen his great power or his strong hand and his stretched-out arm,

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:3 @Or his signs and wonders which he did in Egypt, to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and all his land;

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:4 @And what he did to the army of Egypt, to their horses and their war-carriages; how he made the waters of the Red Sea come up over them when they went after you, and how the Lord put an end to them even to this day;

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:5 @And what he did for you in the waste land, till you came to this place;

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:11:7 @But your eyes have seen all the great works of the Lord which he has done.

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:11:11 @But the land where you are going is a land of hills and valleys, drinking in the rain of heaven:

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:11:14 @Then I will send rain on your land at the right time, the early rains and the late rains, so that you may get in your grain and your wine and your oil.

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:15 @And I will give grass in your fields for your cattle, so that you may have food in full measure.

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:16 @But take care that your hearts are not turned to false ways so that you become servants and worshippers of other gods;

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:11:18 @So keep these words deep in your heart and in your soul, and have them fixed on your hand for a sign and marked on your brow;

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:19 @Teaching them to your children, and talking of them when you are at rest in your house or walking by the way, when you go to sleep and when you get up:

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:20 @Writing them on the pillars of your houses and over the doors of your towns:

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:21 @So that your days, and the days of your children, may be long in the land which the Lord by his oath to your fathers said he would give them, like the days of the eternal heavens.

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:22 @For if you take care to keep all the orders which I give you, and to do them; loving the Lord your God and walking in all his ways and being true to him:

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: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:11:25 @All people will give way before you: for the Lord your God will put the fear of you on all the land through which you go, as he has said.

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:26 @Today I put before you a blessing and a curse:

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:27 @The blessing if you give ear to the orders of the Lord your God, which I give you this day:

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:28 @And the curse if you do not give ear to the orders of the Lord your God, but let yourselves be turned from the way which I have put before you this day, and go after other gods which are not yours.

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:11:32 @And you are to take care to keep all the laws and the decisions which I put before you today.

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:12:2 @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:12:3 @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:12:4 @Do not so to the Lord your God.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:5 @But let your hearts be turned to the place which will be marked out by the Lord your God, among your tribes, to put his name there;

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:12:11 @Then there will be a place marked out by the Lord your God as the resting-place for his name, and there you will take all the things which I give you orders to take: your burned offerings and other offerings, and the tenth part of your goods, and the offerings to be lifted up, and the offerings of your oaths which you make to the Lord;

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:12:13 @Take care that you do not make your burned offerings in any place you see:

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:14 @But in the place marked out by the Lord in one of your tribes, there let your burned offerings be offered, and there do what I have given you orders to do.

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:12:17 @In your towns you are not to take as food the tenth part of your grain, or of your wine or your oil, or the first births of your herds or of your flocks, or anything offered under an oath, or freely offered to the Lord, or given as a lifted offering;

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:12:26 @But the holy things which you have, and the offerings of your oaths, you are to take to the place which will be marked out by the Lord:

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:27 @Offering the flesh and the blood of your burned offerings on the altar of the Lord your God; and the blood of your offerings is to be drained out on the altar of the Lord your God, and the flesh will be your food.

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:12:30 @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:12:31 @Do not so to the Lord your God: for everything which is disgusting to the Lord and hated by him they have done in honour of their gods: even burning their sons and daughters in the fire to their gods.

bbe@Deuteronomy: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:13:1 @If ever you have among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams and he gives you a sign or a wonder,

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:2 @And the sign or the wonder takes place, and he says to you, Let us go after other gods, which are strange to you, and give them worship;

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:3 @Then give no attention to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams: for the Lord your God is testing you, to see if all the love of your heart and soul is given to him.

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:4 @But keep on in the ways of the Lord your God, fearing him and keeping his orders and hearing his voice, worshipping him and being true to him.

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:5 @And that prophet or that dreamer of dreams is to be put to death; for his words were said with the purpose of turning you away from the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt and made you free from the prison-house; and of forcing you out of the way in which the Lord your God has given you orders to go. So you are to put away the evil from among you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:6 @If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son or your daughter or the wife of your heart, or the friend who is as dear to you as your life, working on you secretly says to you, Let us go and give worship to other gods, strange to you and to your fathers;

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:7 @Gods of the peoples round about you, near or far, from one end of the earth to the other;

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:13:12 @And if word comes to you, in one of the towns which the Lord your God is giving you for your resting-place,

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:13 @That good-for-nothing persons have gone out from among you, turning the people of their town from the right way and saying, Let us go and give worship to other gods, of whom you have no knowledge;

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:14 @Then let a full search be made, and let questions be put with care; and if it is true and certain that such a disgusting thing has been done among you;

bbe@Deuteronomy: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:13:17 @Keep not a thing of what is cursed for yourselves: so the Lord may be turned away from the heat of his wrath, and have mercy on you, and give you increase as he said in his oath to your fathers:

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:18 @So long as you give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, and keep all his orders which I give you today, and do what is right in the eyes of the Lord your God.

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:1 @You are the children of the Lord your God: you are not to make cuts on your bodies or take off the hair on your brows in honour of the dead;

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:14:3 @No disgusting thing may be your food.

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:4 @These are the beasts which you may have for food: the ox, the sheep, and the goat;

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:5 @The hart, the gazelle, and the roe, the mountain goat and the pygarg and the antelope and the mountain sheep.

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:6 @Any beast which has a division in the horn of its foot and whose food comes back into its mouth to be crushed again, may be used for food.

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:7 @But even among these, there are some which may not be used for food: such as the camel, the hare, and the coney, which are unclean to you, because, though their food comes back, the horn of their feet is not parted in two.

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:8 @And the pig is unclean to you, because though it has a division in the horn of its foot, its food does not come back; their flesh may not be used for food or their dead bodies touched by you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:9 @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:14:10 @But any which have no skin-plates or wings for swimming, you may not take; they are unclean for you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:11 @All clean birds may be used for food.

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:12 @But these birds you may not take: the eagle and the gier-eagle and the ospray;

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:13 @The falcon and the kite, and birds of that sort;

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:14 @Every raven, and all birds of that sort;

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:15 @And the ostrich and the night-hawk and the sea-hawk and birds of that sort;

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:16 @The little owl and the great owl and the water-hen;

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:17 @And the pelican and the vulture and the cormorant;

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:18 @The stork and the heron and birds of that sort, and the hoopoe and the bat.

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:19 @Every winged thing which goes flat on the earth is unclean to you and may not be used as food.

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:20 @But all clean birds you may take.

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:14:22 @Put on one side a tenth of all the increase of your seed, produced year by year.

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:23 @And make a feast before the Lord your God, in the place which is to be marked out, where his name will be for ever, of the tenth part of your grain and your wine and your oil, and the first births of your herds and your flocks; so that you may have the fear of the Lord your God in your hearts at all times.

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:14:25 @Then let these things be exchanged for money, and, taking the money in your hand, go to the place marked out by the Lord your God for himself;

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:15:1 @At the end of every seven years there is to be a general forgiveness of debt.

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:15:5 @If only you give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, and take care to keep all these orders which I give you today.

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

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:7 @If in any of your towns in the land which the Lord your God is giving you, there is a poor man, one of your countrymen, do not let your heart be hard or your hand shut to him;

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:8 @But let your hand be open to give him the use of whatever he is in need of.

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:9 @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:15:11 @For there will never be a time when there are no poor in the land; and so I give orders to you, Let your hand be open to your countrymen, to those who are poor and in need in your land.

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:12 @If one of your countrymen, a Hebrew man or woman, becomes your servant for a price and does work for you six years, in the seventh year let him go free.

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:13 @And when you make him free, do not let him go away with nothing in his hands:

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:14 @But give him freely from your flock and from your grain and your wine: in the measure of the wealth which the Lord your God has given you, you are to give to him.

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:15 @And keep in mind that you yourself were a servant in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God made you free: so I give you this order today.

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:15:19 @All the first males to come to birth in your herd and your flock are to be holy to the Lord your God: the first birth of your ox is not to be used for work, the wool of your first lamb is not to be cut

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:20 @But year by year you and all your house are to take a meal of it before the Lord, in the place of his selection.

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:21 @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:16:1 @Take note of the month of Abib and keep the Passover to the Lord your God: for in the month of Abib the Lord your God took you out of Egypt by night.

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:2 @The Passover offering, from your flock or your herd, is to be given to the Lord your God in the place marked out by him as the resting-place of his name.

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:16:4 @For seven days let no leaven be used through all your land; and nothing of the flesh which is put to death in the evening of the first day is to be kept through the night till morning.

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:5 @The Passover offering is not to be put to death in any of the towns which the Lord your God gives you:

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:6 @But in the place marked out by the Lord your God as the resting-place of his name, there you are to put the Passover to death in the evening, at sundown, at that time of the year when you came out of Egypt.

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:16:8 @For six days let your food be unleavened bread; and on the seventh day there is to be a holy meeting to the Lord your God; no work is to be done.

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:9 @Let seven weeks be numbered from the first day when the grain is cut.

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:16:12 @And you will keep in mind that you were a servant in the land of Egypt: and you will take care to keep all these laws.

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:13 @You are to keep the feast of tents for seven days after you have got in all your grain and made your wine:

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:16:15 @Keep the feast to the Lord your God for seven days, in the place marked out by the Lord: because the blessing of the Lord your God will be on all the produce of your land and all the work of your hands, and you will have nothing but joy.

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:16 @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:16:17 @Every man is to give as he is able, in the measure of the blessing which the Lord your God has given you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:18 @You are to make judges and overseers in all your towns which the Lord your God gives you, for every tribe: and they are to be upright men, judging the people in righteousness.

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:19 @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:16:21 @Let no holy tree of any sort be planted by the altar of the Lord your God which you will make

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:22 @You are not to put up stone pillars, for they are hated by the Lord your God.

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:17:2 @If there is any man or woman among you, in any of the towns which the Lord your God gives you, who does evil in the eyes of the Lord your God, sinning against his agreement,

bbe@Deuteronomy:17:3 @By becoming a servant of other gods and worshipping them or the sun or the moon or all the stars of heaven, against my orders;

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:17:10 @And you are to be guided by the decision they give in the place named by the Lord, and do whatever they say:

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:17:12 @And any man who, in his pride, will not give ear to the priest whose place is there before the Lord your God, or to the judge, is to be put to death: you are to put away the evil from Israel.

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:17:15 @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:17:16 @And he is not to get together a great army of horses for himself, or make the people go back to Egypt to get horses for him: because the Lord has said, You will never again go back that way.

bbe@Deuteronomy:17:17 @And he is not to have a great number of wives, for fear that his heart may be turned away; or great wealth of silver and gold.

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:17:20 @So that his heart may not be lifted up over his countrymen, and he may not be turned away from the orders, to one side or the other: but that his life and the lives of his children may be long in his kingdom in Israel.

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:18:3 @And this is to be the priests' right: those who make an offering of a sheep or an ox are to give to the priest the top part of the leg and the two sides of the head and the stomach.

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:18:5 @For he, and his sons after him for ever, have been marked out by the Lord your God from all your tribes, to do the work of priests in the name of the Lord.

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

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:10 @Let there not be seen among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter go through the fire, or anyone using secret arts, or a maker of strange sounds, or a reader of signs, or any wonder-worker,

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:11 @Or anyone using secret force on people, or putting questions to a spirit, or having secret knowledge, or going to the dead for directions.

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:12 @For all who do such things are disgusting to the Lord; and because of these disgusting things the Lord your God is driving them out before you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:13 @You are to be upright in heart before the Lord your God.

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:18:15 @The Lord your God will give you a prophet from among your people, like me; you will give ear to him;

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:16 @In answer to the request you made to the Lord your God in Horeb on the day of the great meeting, when you said, Let not the voice of the Lord my God come to my ears again, and let me not see this great fire any more, or death will overtake me.

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:17 @Then the Lord said to me, What they have said is well said.

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:18 @I will give them a prophet from among themselves, like you, and I will put my words in his mouth, and he will say to them whatever I give him orders to say.

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:19 @And whoever does not give ear to my words which he will say in my name, will be responsible to me.

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:18:21 @And if you say in your hearts, How are we to be certain that the word does not come from the Lord?

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:22 @When a prophet makes a statement in the name of the Lord, if what he says does not take place and his words do not come true, then his word is not the word of the Lord: the words of the prophet were said in the pride of his heart, and you are to have no fear of him.

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

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:2 @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:19:4 @This is to be the rule for anyone who goes in flight there, after causing the death of his neighbour in error and not through hate;

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:5 @For example, if a man goes into the woods with his neighbour for the purpose of cutting down trees, and when he takes his axe to give a blow to the tree, the head of the axe comes off, and falling on to his neighbour gives him a wound causing his death; then the man may go in flight to one of these towns and be safe:

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:6 @For if not, he who has the right of punishment may go running after the taker of life in the heat of his wrath, and overtake him because the way is long, and give him a death-blow; though it is not right for him to be put to death because he was not moved by hate.

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:7 @And so I am ordering you to see that three towns are marked out for this purpose.

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:19:12 @The responsible men of his town are to send and take him, and give him up to the one who has the right of punishment to be put to death.

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:19:17 @Then the two men, between whom the argument has taken place, are to come before the Lord, before the priests and judges who are then in power;

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:20:2 @And when you are on the point of attacking, let the priest come forward and say to the people,

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:3 @Give ear, O Israel: today you are going forward to the fight; let your heart be strong; do not let uncontrolled fear overcome you because of those who are against you;

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:4 @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:20:9 @Then, after saying these words to the people, let the overseers put captains over the army.

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

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:20:18 @So that you may not take them as your example and do all the disgusting things which they do in the worship of their gods, so sinning against the Lord your God.

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:19 @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:21:1 @If, in the land which the Lord your God is giving you, you come across the dead body of a man in the open country, and you have no idea who has put him to death:

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:21:3 @And whichever town is nearest to the body, the responsible men of that town are to take from the herd a young cow which has never been used for work or put under the yoke;

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:4 @And they are to take the cow into a valley where there is flowing water, and which is not ploughed or planted, and there the neck of the cow is to be broken:

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:5 @Then the priests, the sons of Levi, are to come near; for they have been marked out by the Lord your God to be his servants and to give blessings in the name of the Lord; and by their decision every argument and every blow is to be judged:

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:6 @And all the responsible men of that town which is nearest to the dead man, washing their hands over the cow whose neck was broken in the valley,

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:21:10 @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:21:11 @If among the prisoners you see a beautiful woman and it is your desire to make her your wife;

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:12 @Then take her back to your house; and let her hair and her nails be cut;

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:13 @And let her take off the dress in which she was made prisoner and go on living in your house and weeping for her father and mother for a full month: and after that you may go in to her and be her husband and she will be your wife.

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:14 @But if you have no delight in her, you are to let her go wherever she will; you may not take a price for her as if she was your property, for you have made use of her for your pleasure

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:15 @If a man has two wives, one greatly loved and the other hated, and the two of them have had children by him; and if the first son is the child of the hated 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:21:18 @If a man has a son who is hard-hearted and uncontrolled, who gives no attention to the voice of his father and mother, and will not be ruled by them, though they give him punishment:

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:19 @Then let his father and mother take him to the responsible men of the town, to the public place;

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:20 @And say to them, This son of ours is hard-hearted and uncontrolled, he will not give attention to us; he gives himself up to pleasure and strong drink.

bbe@Deuteronomy: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:21:22 @If a man does a crime for which the punishment is death, and he is put to death by hanging him on a tree;

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:22:11 @Do not have clothing made of two sorts of thread, wool and linen 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:22:15 @Then let the girl's father and mother put before the responsible men of the town, in the public place, signs that the girl was a virgin:

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:16 @And let the girl's father say to the responsible men, I gave my daughter to this man for his wife, but he has no love for her;

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:17 @And now he has put shame on her, saying that she is not a virgin; but here is the sign that she is a virgin. Then they are to put her clothing before the responsible men of the town.

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:18 @Then the responsible men of the town are to give the man his punishment;

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:19 @They will take from him a hundred shekels of silver, which are to be given to the father of the girl, because he has given an evil name to a virgin of Israel: she will go on being his wife, he may never put her away all his life.

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:20 @But if what he has said is true, and she is seen to be not a virgin,

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:21 @Then they are to make the girl come to the door of her father's house and she will be stoned to death by the men of the town, because she has done evil and put shame on Israel, by acting as a loose woman in her father's house: so you are to put away evil from among you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:22 @If a man is taken in the act of going in to a married woman, the two of them, the man as well as the woman, are to be put to death: so you are to put away the evil from Israel.

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:22:25 @But if the man, meeting such a virgin in the open country, takes her by force, then only the man is to be put to death;

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:22:27 @For he came across her in the open country, and there was no one to come to the help of the virgin in answer to her cry.

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:22:29 @Then the man will have to give the virgin's father fifty shekels of silver and make her his wife, because he has put shame on her; he may never put her away all his life.

bbe@Deuteronomy: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:23:1 @No man whose private parts have been wounded or cut off may come into the meeting of the Lord's people.

bbe@Deuteronomy:23:2 @One whose father and mother are not married may not come into the meeting of the Lord's people, or any of his family to the tenth generation.

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:23:4 @Because they gave you no bread or water on your way, when you came out of Egypt: and they got Balaam, the son of Peor, from Pethor in Aram-naharaim to put curses on you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:23:5 @But the Lord your God would not give ear to Balaam, but let the curse be changed into a blessing to you, because of his love for you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:23:6 @Do nothing for their peace or well-being for ever.

bbe@Deuteronomy:23:7 @But have no hate for an Edomite, because he is your brother, or for an Egyptian, for you were living in his land.

bbe@Deuteronomy:23:8 @Their children in the third 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:23:11 @But when evening comes near, let him take a bath: and after sundown he may come back to the tents.

bbe@Deuteronomy:23:12 @Let there be a place outside the tent-circle to which you may go;

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:23:14 @For the Lord your God is walking among your tents, to keep you safe and to give up into your hands those who are fighting against you; then let your tents be holy, so that he may see no unclean thing among you, and be turned away from you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:23:18 @Do not take into the house of the Lord your God, as an offering for an oath, the price of a loose woman or the money given to one used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods: for these two things are disgusting to the Lord your God

bbe@Deuteronomy: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:25:13 @Do not have in your bag different weights, a great and a small;

bbe@Deuteronomy:25:14 @Or in your house different measures, a great and a small.

bbe@Deuteronomy:25:15 @But have a true weight and a true measure: so that your life may be long in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:25:16 @For all who do such things, and all whose ways are not upright, are disgusting to the Lord your God.

bbe@Deuteronomy:25:17 @Keep in mind what Amalek did to you on your way from Egypt;

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:26:6 @And the Egyptians were cruel to us, crushing us under a hard yoke:

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:7 @And our cry went up to the Lord, the God of our fathers, and the Lord's ear was open to the voice of our cry, and his eyes took note of our grief and the crushing weight of our work:

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:8 @And the Lord took us out of Egypt with a strong hand and a stretched-out arm, with works of power and signs and wonders:

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:9 @And he has been our guide to this place, and has given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:10 @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:26:14 @No part of these things has been used for food in a time of weeping, or put away when I was unclean, or given for the dead: I have given ear to the voice of the Lord my God, and have done all you have given me orders to do.

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:15 @So, looking down from your holy place in heaven, send your blessing on your people Israel and on the land which you have given us, as you said in your oath to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.

bbe@Deuteronomy: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: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:27:1 @Then Moses and the responsible men of Israel gave the people these orders: Keep all the orders which I have given you this day;

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:27:5 @There you are to make an altar to the Lord your God, of stones on which no iron instrument has been used.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:6 @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:27:10 @For this cause you are to give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, and do his orders and his laws which I give you this day.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:11 @That same day Moses said to the people,

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:12 @These are to take their places on Mount Gerizim for blessing the people when you have gone over Jordan: Simeon and Levi and Judah and Issachar and Joseph and Benjamin;

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:13 @And these are to be on Mount Ebal for the curse: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali

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:28:2 @And all these blessings will come on you and overtake you, if your ears are open to the voice of the Lord your God.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:3 @A blessing will be on you in the town, and a blessing in the field.

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:28:5 @A blessing will be on your basket and on your bread-basin.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:6 @A blessing will be on your coming in and on your going out.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:7 @By the power of the Lord, those who take arms against you will be overcome before you: they will come out against you one way, and will go in flight from you seven ways.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:8 @The Lord will send his blessing on your store-houses and on everything to which you put your hand: his blessing will be on you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:9 @The Lord will keep you as a people holy to himself, as he has said to you in his oath, if you keep the orders of the Lord your God and go on walking in his ways.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:10 @And all the peoples of the earth will see that the name of the Lord is on you, and they will go in fear of you.

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:28:12 @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:28:13 @The Lord will make you the head and not the tail; and you will ever have the highest place, if you give ear to the orders of the Lord your God which I give you today, to keep and to do them;

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:14 @Not turning away from any of the orders which I give you today, to the right hand or to the left, or going after any other gods to give them worship.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:15 @But if you do not give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, and take care to do all his orders and his laws which I give you today, then all these curses will come on you and overtake you:

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:16 @You will be cursed in the town and cursed in the field.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:17 @A curse will be on your basket and on your bread-basin.

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:28:19 @You will be cursed when you come in and cursed when you go out.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:20 @The Lord will send on you cursing and trouble and punishment in everything to which you put your hand, till sudden destruction overtakes you; because of your evil ways in which you have been false to me.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:21 @The Lord will send disease after disease on you, till you have been cut off by death from the land to which you are going.

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:28:23 @And the heaven over your heads will be brass, and the earth under you hard as iron.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:24 @The Lord will make the rain of your land powder and dust, sending it down on you from heaven till your destruction is complete.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:25 @The Lord will let you be overcome by your haters: you will go out against them one way, and you will go in flight before them seven ways: you will be the cause of fear among all the kingdoms of the earth.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:26 @Your bodies will be meat for all the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth; there will be no one to send them away.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:27 @The Lord will send on you the disease of Egypt, and other sorts of skin diseases which nothing will make well.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:28 @He will make your minds diseased, and your eyes blind, and your hearts wasted with fear:

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:29 @You will go feeling your way when the sun is high, like a blind man for whom all is dark, and nothing will go well for you: you will be crushed and made poor for ever, and you will have no saviour.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:30 @You will take a wife, but another man will have the use of her: the house which your hands have made will never be your resting-place: you will make a vine-garden, and never take the fruit of it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:31 @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:28:34 @So that the things which your eyes have to see will send you out of your minds.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:35 @The Lord will send a skin disease, attacking your knees and your legs, bursting out from your feet to the top of your head, so that nothing will make you well.

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:28:38 @You will take much seed out into the field, and get little in; for the locust will get it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:39 @You will put in vines and take care of them, but you will get no wine or grapes from them; for they will be food for worms.

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:28:41 @You will have sons and daughters, but they will not be yours; for they will go away prisoners into a strange land.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:42 @All your trees and the fruit of your land will be the locust's.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:43 @The man from a strange land who is living among you will be lifted up higher and higher over you, while you go down lower and lower.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:44 @He will let you have his wealth at interest, and will have no need of yours: he will be the head and you the tail.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:45 @And all these curses will come after you and overtake you, till your destruction is complete; because you did not give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, or keep his laws and his orders which he gave you:

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:46 @These things will come on you and on your seed, to be a sign and a wonder for ever;

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:28:50 @A hard-faced nation, who will have no respect for the old or mercy for the young:

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:28:54 @That man among you who is soft and used to comfort will be hard and cruel to his brother, and to his dear wife, and to of those his children who are still living;

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:55 @And will not give to any of them the flesh of his children which will be his food because he has no other; in the cruel grip of your haters on all your towns.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:56 @The most soft and delicate of your women, who would not so much as put her foot on the earth, so delicate is she, will be hard-hearted to her husband and to her son and to her daughter;

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:57 @And to her baby newly come to birth, and to the children of her body; for having no other food, she will make a meal of them secretly, because of her bitter need and the cruel grip of your haters on all your towns.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:58 @If you will not take care to do all the words of this law, recorded in this book, honouring that name of glory and of fear, THE LORD YOUR GOD;

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:59 @Then the Lord your God will make your punishment, and the punishment of your seed, a thing to be wondered at; great punishments and cruel diseases stretching on through long years.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:60 @He will send on you again all the diseases of Egypt, which were a cause of fear to you, and they will take you in their grip.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:61 @And all the diseases and the pains not recorded in the book of this law will the Lord send on you till your destruction is complete.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:62 @And you will become a very small band, though your numbers were like the stars of heaven; because you did not give ear to the voice of the Lord your God.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:63 @And as the Lord took delight in doing you good and increasing you, so the Lord will take pleasure in cutting you off and causing your destruction, and you will be uprooted from the land which you are about to take as your heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:64 @And the Lord will send you wandering among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other: there you will be servants to other gods, of wood and stone, gods of which you and your fathers had no knowledge.

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: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:29:2 @And Moses said in the hearing of all Israel, You have seen all the Lord did before your eyes in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh and to all his servants and all his land;

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:3 @The great tests which your eyes saw, and the signs and wonders:

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:4 @But even to this day the Lord has not given you a mind open to knowledge, or seeing eyes or hearing ears.

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:5 @For forty years I have been your guide through the waste land: your clothing has not become old on your backs, or your shoes on your feet.

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:6 @You have had no bread, or wine, or strong drink: so that you might see that I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:7 @When you came to this place, Sihon, king of Heshbon, and Og, king of Bashan, came out to make war against us and we overcame them:

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:8 @And we took their land and gave it to the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, for their heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:9 @So keep the words of this agreement and do them, so that it may be well for you in everything you do.

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:10 @You have come here today, all of you, before the Lord your God; the heads of your tribes, the overseers, and those who are in authority over you, with all the men of Israel,

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:11 @And your little ones, your wives, and the men of other lands who are with you in your tents, down to the wood-cutter and the servant who gets water for you:

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:12 @With the purpose of taking part in the agreement of the Lord your God, and his oath which he makes with you today:

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:13 @And so that he may make you his people today, and be your God, as he has said to you, and as he made an oath to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

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:29:16 @(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:29:17 @And you have seen their disgusting doings, and the images of wood and stone and silver and gold which were among them:)

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:18 @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:29:19 @If such a man, hearing the words of this oath, takes comfort in the thought that he will have peace even if he goes on in the pride of his heart, taking whatever chance may give him:

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:29:24 @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: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:29:26 @And they went after other gods and gave them worship, gods who were strange to them, and whom he had not given them:

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:29:28 @Rooting them out of their land, in the heat of his wrath and passion, and driving them out into another land, as at this day.

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:29 @The secret things are the Lord our God's: but the things which have been made clear are ours and our children's for ever, so that we may do all the words of this law.

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:30:2 @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:30:4 @Even if those who have been forced out are living in the farthest part of heaven, the Lord your God will go in search of you, and take you back;

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:30:7 @And the Lord your God will put all these curses on those who are against you, and on your haters who put a cruel yoke on you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:30:8 @And you will again give ear to the voice of the Lord, and do all his orders which I have given you today.

bbe@Deuteronomy:30:9 @And the Lord your God will make you fertile in all good things, blessing the work of your hands, and the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your cattle, and the fruit of your land: for the Lord will have joy in you, as he had in your fathers:

bbe@Deuteronomy:30:10 @If you give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, keeping his orders and his laws which are recorded in this book of the law, and turning to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

bbe@Deuteronomy:30:11 @For these orders which I have given you today are not strange and secret, and are not far away.

bbe@Deuteronomy:30:12 @They are not in heaven, for you to say, Who will go up to heaven for us and give us knowledge of them so that we may do them?

bbe@Deuteronomy:30:13 @And they are not across the sea, for you to say, Who will go over the sea for us and give us news of them so that we may do them?

bbe@Deuteronomy:30:14 @But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may do it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:30:15 @See, I have put before you today, life and good, and death and evil;

bbe@Deuteronomy:30:16 @In giving you orders today to have love for the Lord your God, to go in his ways and keep his laws and his orders and his decisions, so that you may have life and be increased, and that the blessing of the Lord your God may be with you in the land where you are going, the land of your heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:30:17 @But if your heart is turned away and your ear is shut, and you go after those who would make you servants and worshippers of other gods:

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:30:20 @In loving the Lord your God, hearing his voice and being true to him: for he is your life and by him will your days be long: so that you may go on living in the land which the Lord gave by an oath to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:1 @So Moses said all these things to Israel.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:2 @Then he said to them, I am now a hundred and twenty years old; I am no longer able to go out and come in: and the Lord has said to me, You are not to go over Jordan.

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:31:5 @The Lord will give them up into your hands, and you are to do to them as I have given you orders.

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:31:10 @And Moses said to them, At the end of every seven years, at the time fixed for the ending of debts, at the feast of tents,

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:11 @When all Israel has come before the Lord your God in the place named by him, let a reading be given of this law in the hearing of all 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:31:14 @At that time the Lord said to Moses, The day of your death is near: send for Joshua, and come to the Tent of meeting so that I may give him his orders. So Moses and Joshua went to the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:15 @And the Lord was seen in the Tent in a pillar of cloud resting by the door of the Tent.

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:31:18 @Truly, my face will be turned away from them in that day, because of all the evil they have done in going after other gods.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:19 @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:31:27 @For I have knowledge of your hard and uncontrolled hearts: even now, while I am still living, you will not be ruled by the Lord; how much less after my death?

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:31:29 @For I am certain that after my death you will give yourselves up to sin, wandering from the way which I have given you; and evil will overtake you in the end, because you will do evil in the eyes of the Lord, moving him to wrath by the work of your hands.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:30 @Then in the hearing of all the meeting of Israel, Moses said the words of this song, to the end.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:1 @Give ear, O heavens, to my voice; let the earth take note of the words of my mouth:

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:2 @My teaching is dropping like rain, coming down like dew on the fields; like rain on the young grass and showers on the garden plants:

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:3 @For I will give honour to the name of the Lord: let our God be named great.

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:32:5 @They have become false, they are not his children, the mark of sin is on them; they are an evil and hard-hearted generation.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:6 @Is this your answer to the Lord, O foolish people and unwise? Is he not your father who has given you life? He has made you and given you your place.

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:32:10 @He came to him in the waste land, in the unpeopled waste of sand: putting his arms round him and caring for him, he kept him as the light of his eye.

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:32:13 @He put him on the high places of the earth, his food was the increase of the field; honey he gave him out of the rock and oil out of the hard rock;

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:32:15 @But Jeshurun became fat and would not be controlled: you have become fat, you are thick and full of food: then he was untrue to the God who made him, giving no honour to the Rock of his salvation.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:16 @The honour which was his they gave to strange gods; by their disgusting ways he was moved to wrath.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:17 @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:32:18 @You have no thought for the Rock, your father, you have no memory of the God who gave you birth.

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:32:23 @I will send a rain of troubles on them, my arrows will be showered on them

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:32:25 @Outside they will be cut off by the sword, and in the inner rooms by fear; death will take the young man and the virgin, the baby at the breast and the grey-haired man.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:26 @I said I would send them wandering far away, I would make all memory of them go from the minds of men:

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:27 @But for the fear that their haters, uplifted in their pride, might say, Our hand is strong, the Lord has not done all this.

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

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:29 @If only they were wise, if only this was clear to them, and they would give thought to their future!

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:32:31 @For their rock is not like our Rock, even our haters themselves being judges.

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:32:33 @Their wine is the poison of dragons, the cruel poison of snakes.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:34 @Is not this among my secrets, kept safe in my store-house?

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:35 @Punishment is mine and reward, at the time of the slipping of their feet: for the day of their downfall is near, sudden will be their fate.

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:32:38 @Who took the fat of their offerings, and the wine of their drink offering? Let them now come to your help, let them be your salvation.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:39 @See now, I myself am he; there is no other god but me: giver of death and life, wounding and making well: and no one has power to make you free from my hand.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:40 @For lifting up my hand to heaven I say, By my unending life,

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:41 @If I make sharp my shining sword, and my hand is outstretched for judging, I will give punishment to those who are against me, and their right reward to my haters.

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:32:43 @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@Deuteronomy:32:44 @So Moses said all the words of this song in the hearing of the people, he and Hoshea, the son of Nun.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:45 @And after saying all this to the people,

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:46 @Moses said to them, Let the words which I have said to you today go deep into your hearts, and give orders to your children to do every word of this law.

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:32:48 @That same day the Lord said to Moses,

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:32:51 @Because of your sin against me before the children of Israel at the waters of Meribath Kadesh in the waste land of Zin; because you did not keep my name holy among the children of Israel.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:52 @So you will see the land before you, but you will not go into the land which I am giving to the children of Israel.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:1 @Now this is the blessing which Moses, the man of God, gave to the children of Israel before his death.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:2 @He said, The Lord came from Sinai, dawning on them from Seir; shining out from Mount Paran, coming from Meribath Kadesh: from his right hand went flames of fire: his wrath made waste the peoples.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:3 @All his holy ones are at his hand; they go at his feet; they are lifted up on his wings.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:4 @Moses gave us a law, a heritage for the people of Jacob.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:5 @And there was a king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people and the tribes of Israel came together.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:6 @Let life not death be Reuben's, let not the number of his men be small.

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:33:9 @Who said of his father, Who is he? and of his mother, I have not seen her; he kept himself separate from his brothers and had no knowledge of his children: for they have given ear to your word and kept your agreement.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:10 @They will be the teachers of your decisions to Jacob and of your law to Israel: the burning of perfumes before you will be their right, and the ordering of burned offerings on your altar.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:11 @Let your blessing, O Lord, be on his substance, may the work of his hands be pleasing to you: may those who take up arms against him and all who have hate for him, be wounded through the heart, never to be lifted up again.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:12 @And of Benjamin he said, Benjamin is the loved one of the Lord, he will be kept safe at all times; he will be covered by the Most High, resting between his arms.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:13 @And of Joseph he said, Let the blessing of the Lord be on his land; for the good things of heaven on high, and the deep waters flowing under the earth,

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:33:15 @And the chief things of the oldest mountains, and the good things of the eternal hills,

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:33:18 @And of Zebulun he said, Be glad, Zebulun, in your going out; and, Issachar, in your tents.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:19 @They will send out the word for the people to come to the mountain, taking there the offerings of righteousness: for the store of the seas will be theirs, and the secret wealth of the sand.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:20 @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:33:21 @He kept for himself the first part, for his was the ruler's right: he put in force the righteousness of the Lord, and his decisions for Israel.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:22 @And of Dan he said, Dan is a young lion, springing out from Bashan.

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:33:25 @Your shoes will be iron and brass; and as your days, so may your work be.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:26 @No other is like the God of Jeshurun, coming on the heavens to your help, and letting his glory be seen in the skies.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:27 @The God of your fathers is your safe resting-place, and under you are his eternal arms: driving out the forces of your haters from before you, he said, Let destruction overtake them.

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:33:29 @Happy are you, O Israel: who is like you, a people whose saviour is the Lord, whose help is your cover, whose sword is your strength! All those who are against you will put themselves under your rule, and your feet will be planted on their high places.

bbe@Deuteronomy:34:1 @And Moses went up from the table-lands of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah which is facing Jericho. And the Lord let him see all the land, the land of Gilead as far as Dan;

bbe@Deuteronomy:34:2 @And all Naphtali and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, as far as the Great Sea of the west;

bbe@Deuteronomy:34:3 @And the South, and the circle of the valley of Jericho, the town of palm-trees, as far as Zoar.

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:34:5 @So death came to Moses, the servant of the Lord, there in the land of Moab, as the Lord had said.

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:34:7 @And Moses at his death was a hundred and twenty years old: his eye had not become clouded, or his natural force become feeble.

bbe@Deuteronomy:34:8 @For thirty days the children of Israel were weeping for Moses in the table-lands of Moab, till the days of weeping and sorrow for Moses were ended.

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@Deuteronomy:34:10 @There has never been another prophet in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord had knowledge of face to face;

bbe@Deuteronomy:34:11 @In all the signs and wonders which the Lord sent him to do in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and to all his servants and all his land;

bbe@Deuteronomy:34:12 @And in all the acts of power and fear which Moses did before the eyes of all Israel.

bbe@Joshua:1:1 @Now after the death of Moses, the servant of the Lord, the word of the Lord came to Joshua, the son of Nun, Moses' helper, saying,

bbe@Joshua:1:2 @Moses my servant is dead; so now get up! Go over Jordan, you and all this people, into the land which I am giving to them, to the children of Israel.

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:1:7 @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:1:9 @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:1:18 @Whoever goes against your orders, and does not give attention to all your words, will be put to death: only take heart and be strong.

bbe@Joshua:2:4 @And the woman took the two men and put them in a secret place; then she said, Yes, the men came to me, but I had no idea where they came from;

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:2:11 @And because of this news, our hearts became like water, and there was no more spirit in any of us because of you; for the Lord your God is God in heaven on high and here on earth.

bbe@Joshua:2:12 @So now, will you give me your oath by the Lord, that, because I have been kind to you, you will be kind to my father's house,

bbe@Joshua:2:13 @And that you will keep safe my father and mother and my brothers and sisters and all they have, so that death may not come on us?

bbe@Joshua:2:19 @Then if anyone goes out of your house into the street, his blood will be on his head, we will not be responsible; but if any damage comes to anyone in the house, his blood will be on our heads.

bbe@Joshua: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:3:8 @And you are to give orders to the priests who take up the ark of the agreement, and say, When you come to the edge of the waters of Jordan, go no further.

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

bbe@Joshua:4:17 @So Joshua gave orders to the priests, saying, Come up now out of Jordan.

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:5:5 @All the people who came out had undergone circumcision; but all the people whose birth had taken place in the waste land on their journey from Egypt had not.

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:5:12 @And there was no more manna from the day after they had for their food the produce of the land; the children of Israel had manna no longer, but that year the produce of the land of Canaan was their food

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:6:1 @(Now Jericho was all shut up because of the children of Israel: there was no going out or coming in.)

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:6:5 @And at the sound of a long note on the horns, let all the people give a loud cry; and the wall of the town will come down flat, and all the people are to go straight forward.

bbe@Joshua:6:10 @And to the people Joshua gave an order, saying, You will give no cry, and make no sound, and let no word go out of your mouth till the day when I say, Give a loud cry; then give a loud cry.

bbe@Joshua:6:16 @And the seventh time, at the sound of the priests' horns, Joshua said to the people, Now give a loud cry; for the Lord has given you the town.

bbe@Joshua:7:2 @Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is by the side of Beth-aven, on the east side of Beth-el, and said to them, Go up and make a search through the land. And the men went up and saw how Ai was placed.

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:7:7 @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:7:8 @O Lord, what am I to say now that Israel have given way before their attackers?

bbe@Joshua:7:9 @For when the news comes to the Canaanites and all the people of the land, they will come up, shutting us in and cutting off our name from the earth: and what will you do for the honour of your great name?

bbe@Joshua:7:12 @For this reason the children of Israel have given way, turning their backs in flight before their attackers, because they are cursed: I will no longer be with you, if you do not put the cursed thing away from among you.

bbe@Joshua:7:19 @And Joshua said to Achan, My son, give glory and praise to the Lord, the God of Israel; give me word now of what you have done, and keep nothing back from me.

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:8:4 @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:8:11 @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:8:13 @So all the people were in their places, the army on the north side of the town and the secret force on the west; and that night Joshua went down into the valley.

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:8:17 @There was not a man in Ai and Beth-el who did not go out after Israel; and the town was open and unwatched while they went after Israel.

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:8:26 @For Joshua did not take back his hand with the outstretched spear till the destruction of the people of Ai was complete.

bbe@Joshua:9:1 @Now on hearing the news of these things, all the kings on the west side of Jordan, in the hill-country and the lowlands and by the Great Sea in front of Lebanon, the Hittites and the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites,

bbe@Joshua:9:6 @And they came to Joshua to the tent-circle at Gilgal, and said to him and to the men of Israel, We have come from a far country: so now make an agreement with us.

bbe@Joshua:9:11 @So the responsible men and all the people of our country said to us, Take food with you for the journey and go to them, and say to them, We are your servants: so now make an agreement with us.

bbe@Joshua:9:12 @This bread which we have with us for our food, we took warm and new from our houses when starting on our journey to you; but now see, it has become dry and broken up.

bbe@Joshua:9:13 @And these wine-skins were new when we put the wine in them, and now they are cracked as you see; and our clothing and our shoes have become old because of our very long journey here.

bbe@Joshua:9:15 @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:9:17 @And the children of Israel went forward on their journey, and on the third day came to their towns. Now their towns were Gibeon and Chephirah and Beeroth and Kiriath-jearim.

bbe@Joshua:9:18 @And the children of Israel did not put them to death, because the chiefs of the people had taken an oath to them by the Lord, the God of Israel. And all the people made an outcry against the chiefs.

bbe@Joshua:9:19 @But all the chiefs said to the people, We have taken an oath to them by the Lord, the God of Israel, and so we may not put our hands on them.

bbe@Joshua:9:20 @This is what we will do to them: we will not put them to death, for fear that wrath may come on us because of our oath to them

bbe@Joshua:9:23 @Now because of this you are cursed, and you will for ever be our servants, cutting wood and getting water for the house of my God.

bbe@Joshua:9:25 @And now we are in your hands: do to us whatever seems good and right to you.

bbe@Joshua:9:26 @So he kept them safe from the children of Israel, and did not let them be put to death.

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:10:6 @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:10:8 @And the Lord said to Joshua, Have no fear of them, for I have given them into your hands; they will all give way before you.

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:10:19 @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:10:20 @Now when Joshua and the children of Israel had come to the end of their war of complete destruction, and had put to death all but a small band who had got safely into the walled towns,

bbe@Joshua:10:21 @All the people went back to Joshua to the tent-circle at Makkedah in peace: and no one said a word against the children of Israel.

bbe@Joshua:10:25 @And Joshua said to them, Have no fear and do not be troubled; be strong and take heart: for so will the Lord do to all against whom you make war.

bbe@Joshua:11:1 @Now Jabin, king of Hazor, hearing of these things, sent to Jobab, king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,

bbe@Joshua:11:2 @And to the kings on the north in the hill-country, and in the Arabah south of Chinneroth, and in the lowland, and in the highlands of Dor on the west,

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:11:8 @And the Lord gave them up into the hands of Israel, and they overcame them driving them back to great Zidon and to Misrephoth-maim and into the valley of Mizpeh to the east; and they put them all to death, no man got away safely.

bbe@Joshua:11:13 @As for the towns made on hills of earth, not one was burned by Israel but Hazor, which was burned by Joshua.

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:11:17 @From Mount Halak, which goes up to Seir, as far as Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon under Mount Hermon: and all their kings he overcame and put to death.

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:11:22 @Not one of the Anakim was to be seen in the land of the children of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, some were still living.

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:12:7 @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:13:1 @Now Joshua was old and full of years; and the Lord said to him, You are old and full of years, and there is still very much land to be taken.

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:13:5 @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:13:9 @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 from Medeba to Dibon;

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:13:16 @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:13:33 @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:14:3 @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:14:10 @And now, as you see, the Lord has kept me safe these forty-five years, from the time when the Lord said this to Moses, while Israel was wandering in the waste land: and now I am eighty-five years old.

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: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:15:5 @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:15:6 @Then the line goes up to Beth-hoglah, past the north of Beth-arabah, and up to the stone of Bohan, the son of Reuben;

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:15:10 @Then turning west, the line goes from Baalah to Mount Seir, and on to the side of Mount Jearim (which is Chesalon) on the north, then down to Beth-shemesh, and on past Timnah:

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:15:15 @From there he went up against the people of Debir: (now the name of Debir before that was Kiriath-sepher.)

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:15:19 @And she said, Give me a blessing; because you have put me in dry south-land, now give me springs of water

bbe@Joshua:15:34 @And Zanoah, and En-gannim, Tappuah, and Enam;

bbe@Joshua:15:56 @And Jezreel, and Jokdeam, and Zanoah;

bbe@Joshua:15:59 @And Maarath, and Beth-anoth, and Eltekon; six towns with their unwalled places.

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:16:10 @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:17:3 @But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but only daughters; and these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

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:17:12 @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:17:14 @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:17:17 @Then Joshua said to the children of Joseph, to Ephraim and Manasseh, You are a great people, and have great power: you are not to have one property only,

bbe@Joshua:18:2 @But there were still seven tribes among the children of Israel who had not taken up their heritage.

bbe@Joshua:18:5 @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:18:7 @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:18:12 @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:18:16 @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:18:18 @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:19:14 @And the line goes round it on the north to Hannathon, ending at the valley of Iphtah-el;

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:19:34 @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:19:47 @(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: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:20:9 @These were the towns marked out for all the children of Israel and for the man from a strange country living among them, so that anyone causing the death of another in error, might go in flight there, and not be put to death by him who has the right of punishment for blood till he had come before the meeting of the people.

bbe@Joshua: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:22:7 @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:22:10 @Now when they came to the country by Jordan in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh put up there, by Jordan, a great altar, seen from far.

bbe@Joshua:22:17 @Was not the sin of Baal-peor great enough, from which we are not clear even to this day, though punishment came on the people of the Lord,

bbe@Joshua:22:18 @That now you are turned back from the Lord? and, because you are false to him today, tomorrow his wrath will be let loose on all the people of Israel.

bbe@Joshua:22:19 @But if the land you now have is unclean, come over into the Lord's land where his House is, and take up your heritage among us: but do not be false to the Lord and to us by building yourselves an altar in addition to the altar of the Lord our God.

bbe@Joshua:22:20 @Did not Achan, the son of Zerah, do wrong about the cursed thing, causing wrath to come on all the people of Israel? And not on him only came the punishment of death.

bbe@Joshua:22:23 @That we have made ourselves an altar, being false to the Lord, keep us not safe from death this day; and if for the purpose of offering burned offerings on it and meal offerings, or peace-offerings, let the Lord himself send punishment for it;

bbe@Joshua:22:24 @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:22:25 @For the Lord has made Jordan a line of division between us and you, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad; you have no part in the Lord: so your children will make our children give up fearing the Lord.

bbe@Joshua:22:26 @So we said, Let us now make an altar for ourselves, not for burned offerings or for the offerings of beasts:

bbe@Joshua:22:27 @But to be a witness between us and you, and between the future generations, that we have the right of worshipping the Lord with our burned offerings and our offerings of beasts and our peace-offerings; so that your children will not be able to say to our children in time to come, You have no part in the Lord.

bbe@Joshua:22:28 @For we said to ourselves, If they say this to us or to future generations, then we will say, See this copy of the Lord's altar which our fathers made, not for burned offerings or offerings of beasts, but for a witness between us and you.

bbe@Joshua:22:31 @And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest, said to the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh, Now we are certain that the Lord is among us, because you have not done this wrong against the Lord: and you have kept us from falling into the hands of the Lord.

bbe@Joshua:22:33 @And the children of Israel were pleased about this; and they gave praise to God, and had no more thought of going to war against the children of Reuben and the children of Gad for the destruction of their land.

bbe@Joshua:23:1 @Now after a long time, when the Lord had given Israel rest from wars on every side, and Joshua was old and full of years,

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:23:6 @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:23:13 @Then you may be certain that the Lord your God will not go on driving these nations out from before you; but they will become a danger and a cause of sin to you, a whip for your sides and thorns in your eyes, till you are cut off from this good land which the Lord your God has given you.

bbe@Joshua: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:24:10 @But I did not give ear to Balaam; and so he went on blessing you; and I kept you safe from him.

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:24:13 @And I gave you a land on which you had done no work, and towns not of your building, and you are now living in them; and your food comes from vine-gardens and olive-gardens not of your planting.

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:24:19 @And Joshua said to the people, You are not able to be the servants of the Lord, for he is a holy God, a God who will not let his honour be given to another: he will have no mercy on your wrongdoing or your sins.

bbe@Joshua:24:21 @And the people said to Joshua, No! But we will be the servants 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:24:29 @Now after these things, the death of Joshua, the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, took place, he being then a hundred and ten years old.

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@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:1:10 @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:1:11 @And from there he went up against the people of Debir. (Now the name of Debir in earlier times was Kiriath-sepher.)

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:1:15 @And she said to him, Give me a blessing; because you have put me in a dry south-land, now give me springs of water. So Caleb gave her the higher spring and the lower spring.

bbe@Judges:1:16 @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:1:21 @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:1:23 @So they sent men to make a search round Beth-el. (Now the name of the town in earlier times was Luz.)

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:1:29 @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:1:31 @And Asher did not take the land of the people of Acco, or Zidon, or Ahlab, or Achzib, or Helbah, or Aphik, or Rehob, 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: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:2:3 @And so I have said, I will not send them out from before you; but they will be a danger to you, and their gods will be a cause of falling to you.

bbe@Judges:2:4 @Now on hearing these words which the angel of the Lord said to all the children of Israel, the people gave themselves up to loud crying and weeping.

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:2:10 @And in time death overtook all that generation; and another generation came after them, having no knowledge of the Lord or of the things which he had done for Israel.

bbe@Judges:2:17 @But still they would not give ear to their judges, but went after other gods and gave them worship; quickly turning from the way in which their fathers had gone, keeping the orders of the Lord; but they did not do so.

bbe@Judges:2:19 @But whenever the judge was dead, they went back and did more evil than their fathers, going after other gods, to be their servants and their worshippers; giving up nothing of their sins and their hard-hearted ways.

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:2:22 @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: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:3:2 @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:3:22 @And the hand-part went in after the blade, and the fat was joined up over the blade; for he did not take the sword out of his stomach. And he went out into the...

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:3:28 @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:3:29 @At that time they put about ten thousand men of Moab to the sword, every strong man and every man of war; not a man got away.

bbe@Judges: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:4:4 @Now Deborah, a woman prophet, the wife of Lapidoth, was judge of Israel at that time.

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:4:8 @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:4:11 @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:4:12 @And word was given to Sisera that Barak, the son of Abinoam, had gone up to Mount Tabor.

bbe@Judges:4:14 @Then Deborah said to Barak, Up! for today the Lord has given Sisera into your hands: has not the Lord gone out before you? So Barak went down from Mount Tabor and ten thousand men after him.

bbe@Judges:4:16 @But Barak went after the war-carriages and the army as far as Harosheth of the Gentiles; and all Sisera's army was put to the sword; not a man got away.

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:4:20 @And he said to her, Take your place at the door of the tent, and if anyone comes and says to you, Is there any man here, say, No.

bbe@Judges:5:1 @At that time Deborah and Barak, the son of Abinoam, made this song, saying:

bbe@Judges:5:6 @In the days of Shamgar, the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were not used, and travellers went by side roads.

bbe@Judges:5:7 @Country towns were no more in Israel, *** were no more, till you, Deborah, came up, till you came up as a mother in Israel.

bbe@Judges:5:8 @They had no one to make arms, there were no more armed men in the towns; was there a body-cover or a spear to be seen among forty thousand in Israel?

bbe@Judges:5:12 @Awake! awake! Deborah: awake! awake! give a song: Up! Barak, and take prisoner those who took you prisoner, O son of Abinoam

bbe@Judges:5:16 @Why did you keep quiet among the sheep, hearing nothing but the watchers piping to the flocks?

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:5:23 @A curse, a curse on Meroz! said the angel of the Lord. A bitter curse on her townspeople! Because they came not to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord among the strong ones.

bbe@Judges:5:28 @Looking out from the window she gave a cry, the mother of Sisera was crying out through the window, Why is his carriage so long in coming? When will the noise of his wheels be sounding?

bbe@Judges:5:30 @Are they not getting, are they not parting the goods among them: a young girl or two to every man; and to Sisera robes of coloured needlework, worked in fair colours on this side and on that, for the neck of the queen?

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:6:10 @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:6:13 @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:6:14 @And the Lord, turning to him, said, Go in the strength you have and be Israel's saviour from Midian: have I not sent you?

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:6:21 @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:6:29 @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:6:39 @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: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:7:3 @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:7:6 @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:7:9 @The same night the Lord said to him, Up! go down now against their army, for I have given them into your hands.

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:7:20 @So the three bands all gave a loud note on their horns, and when the vessels had been broken, they took the flaming branches in their left hands, and the horns in their right hands ready for blowing, crying out, For the Lord and for Gideon.

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:8:1 @And the men of Ephraim came and said to him, Why did you not send for us when you went to war against Midian? And they said sharp and angry words to him.

bbe@Judges:8:2 @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:8:6 @But the chiefs of Succoth said, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna even now in your hand that we are to give bread to your army?

bbe@Judges:8:10 @Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor and their armies with them, about fifteen thousand men, those of all the army of the children of the east who were still living; for a hundred and twenty thousand of their swordsmen had been put to death.

bbe@Judges:8:11 @And Gideon went up by the way used by the people living in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and made an attack on the army when they had no thought of danger.

bbe@Judges:8:15 @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:8:19 @And he said, They were my brothers, my mother's sons: by the life of the Lord, if you had kept them safe, I would not put you to death.

bbe@Judges:8:20 @Then he said to Jether, his oldest son, Up! Put them to death. But the boy did not take out his sword, fearing because he was still a boy.

bbe@Judges:8:23 @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:8:34 @And the children of Israel did not keep in their minds the Lord their God, who had been their saviour from all their haters on every side;

bbe@Judges:8:35 @And they were not kind to the house of Jerubbaal, that is, Gideon, in reward for all the good he had done to Israel.

bbe@Judges:9:1 @Now Abimelech, the son of Jerubbaal, went to Shechem to his mother's family, and said to them and to all the family of his mother's father,

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:9:9 @But the olive-tree said to them, Am I to give up my wealth of oil, by which men give honour to God, 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:9:16 @So now, if you have done truly and uprightly in making Abimelech king, and if you have done well to Jerubbaal and his house in reward for the work of his hands;

bbe@Judges:9:20 @But if not, may fire come out from Abimelech, burning up the townsmen of Shechem and Beth-millo; and may fire come out from the townsmen of Shechem and Beth-millo, for the destruction of 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:9:30 @Now Zebul, the ruler of the town, hearing what Gaal, the son of Ebed, had said, was moved to wrath.

bbe@Judges:9:32 @So now, get up by night, you and your people, and keep watch in the field secretly;

bbe@Judges:9:38 @Then Zebul said to him, Now where is your loud talk when you said, Who is Abimelech that we are to be his servants? Is this not the people whom you were rating so low? Go out now, and make war on them.

bbe@Judges:9:41 @Then Abimelech went back to Arumah; and Zebul sent Gaal and his brothers away and would not let them go on living in Shechem.

bbe@Judges:9:42 @Now the day after, the people went out into the fields; and news of it came to Abimelech.

bbe@Judges:9:54 @Then quickly crying out to his body-servant, he said to him, Take out your sword and put an end to me straight away, so that men may not say of me, His death was the work of a woman. So the young man put his sword through him, causing his death.

bbe@Judges:10:1 @Now after Abimelech, Tola, the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar, became the saviour of Israel; he was living in Shamir in the hill-country of Ephraim.

bbe@Judges:10:6 @And again the children of Israel did evil in the eyes of the Lord, worshipping the Baals and Astartes, and the gods of Aram and the gods of Zidon and the gods of Moab and the gods of the children of Ammon and the gods of the Philistines; they gave up the Lord and were servants to him no longer.

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:10:12 @And the Zidonians and Amalek and Midian crushing you down, and in answer to your cry did I not give you salvation from their hands?

bbe@Judges:10:13 @But, for all this, you have given me up and have been servants to other gods: so I will be your saviour no longer.

bbe@Judges:10:18 @And the people of Israel said to one another, Who will be the first to make an attack on the children of Ammon? We will make him head over all Gilead.

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:11:4 @Now after a time the children of Ammon made war against Israel.

bbe@Judges:11:7 @But Jephthah said to the responsible men of Gilead, Did you not, in your hate for me, send me away from my father's house? Why do you come to me now when you are in trouble?

bbe@Judges:11:13 @And the king of the children of Ammon said to the men sent by Jephthah, Because Israel, when he came up out of Egypt, took away my land, from the Arnon as far as the Jabbok and as far as Jordan: so now, give me back those lands quietly.

bbe@Judges:11:15 @And said to him, This is the word of Jephthah: Israel did not take away the land of Moab or the land of the children of Ammon;

bbe@Judges:11:17 @Then Israel sent men to the king of Edom saying, Let me now go through your land; but the king of Edom did not give ear to them. And in the same way he sent to the king of Moab, but he would not; so Israel went on living in Kadesh.

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:11:22 @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:11:24 @Do you not keep the lands of those whom Chemosh your god sends out from before you? So we will keep all the lands of those whom the Lord our God sends out from before us.

bbe@Judges:11:26 @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:11:27 @So I have done no wrong against you, but you are doing wrong to me in fighting against me: may the Lord, who is Judge this day, be judge between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon.

bbe@Judges:11:28 @The king of the children of Ammon, however, did not give ear to the words which Jephthah sent to him.

bbe@Judges:11:34 @Then Jephthah came back to his house in Mizpah, and his daughter came out, meeting him on his way with music and with dances; she was his only child; he had no other sons or daughters.

bbe@Judges:11:35 @And when he saw her he was overcome with grief, and said, Ah! my daughter! I am crushed with sorrow, and it is you who are the chief cause of my trouble; for I have made an oath to the Lord and I may not take it back.

bbe@Judges:12:1 @Now the men of Ephraim came together and took up arms and went over to Zaphon; and they said to Jephthah, Why did you go over to make war against the children of Ammon without sending for us to go with you? Now we will put your house on fire over you.

bbe@Judges:12:2 @And Jephthah said to them, I and my people were in danger, and the children of Ammon were very cruel to us, and when I sent for you, you gave me no help against them.

bbe@Judges:12:3 @So when I saw that there was no help to be had from you, I put my life in my hand and went over against the children of Ammon, and the Lord gave them into my hands: why then have you come up to me this day to make war on me?

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: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:13:4 @Now then take care to have no wine or strong drink and to take no unclean thing for food;

bbe@Judges:13:6 @Then the woman came in, and said to her husband, A man came to me, and his form was like the form of a god, causing great fear; I put no question to him about where he came from, and he did not give me his name;

bbe@Judges:13:7 @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:13:8 @Then Manoah made prayer to the Lord, and said, O Lord, let the man of God whom you sent come to us again and make clear to us what we are to do for the child who is to come.

bbe@Judges:13:9 @And God gave ear to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came to the woman again when she was seated in the field; but her husband Manoah was not with her.

bbe@Judges:13:11 @And Manoah got up and went after his wife, and came up to the man and said to him, Are you the man who was talking to this woman? And he said, I am.

bbe@Judges:13:12 @And Manoah said, Now when your words come true, what is to be the rule for the child and what will be his work?

bbe@Judges:13:13 @And the angel of the Lord said to Manoah, Let the woman take note of what I have said to her.

bbe@Judges:13:14 @She is to have nothing which comes from the vine for her food, and let her take no wine or strong drink or anything which is unclean; let her take care to do all I have given her orders to do.

bbe@Judges:13:15 @And Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, Now let us keep you while we make ready a young goat for you

bbe@Judges:13:16 @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:13:17 @Then Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, What is your name, so that when your words come true we may give you honour?

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:13:20 @And when the flame went up to heaven from the altar, the angel of the Lord went up in the flame of the altar, while Manoah and his wife were looking on; and they went down on their faces to the earth.

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:13:23 @But his wife said to him, If the Lord was purposing our death, he would not have taken our burned offering and our meal offering, or have given us such orders about the child.

bbe@Judges:14:1 @Now Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah, of the daughters of the Philistines;

bbe@Judges:14:2 @And when he came back he said to his father and mother, I have seen a woman in Timnah, of the daughters of the Philistines: get her now for me for my wife.

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:14:4 @Now his father and mother had no knowledge that this was the purpose of the Lord, who had the destruction of the Philistines in mind. Now the Philistines at that time were ruling over Israel.

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:14:9 @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:14:12 @And Samson said, Now I have a hard question for you: if you are able to give me the answer before the seven days of the feast are over, I will give you thirty linen robes and thirty changes of clothing;

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:14:14 @And he said, Out of the taker of food came food, and out of the strong came the sweet. And at the end of three days they were still not able to give the answer.

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: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:15:11 @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:15:12 @Then they said to him, We have come down to take you and give you up into the hands of the Philistines. And Samson said to them, Give me your oath that you will not make an attack on me yourselves.

bbe@Judges:15:13 @And they said, No; we will take you and give you up into their hands, but truly we will not put you to death. So knotting two new cords round him they took him up from the rock.

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:16:1 @Now Samson went to Gaza, and there he saw a loose woman and went in to her.

bbe@Judges:16:4 @Now after this, he was in love with a woman in the valley of Sorek, named Delilah.

bbe@Judges:16:6 @So Delilah said to Samson, Make clear to me now what is the secret of your great strength, and how you may be put in bands and made feeble.

bbe@Judges:16:7 @And Samson said to her, If seven new bow-cords which have never been made dry are knotted round me, I will become feeble and will be like any other man.

bbe@Judges:16:8 @So the chiefs of the Philistines gave her seven new bow-cords which had never been made dry, and she had them tightly knotted round him.

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:16:15 @And she said to him, Why do you say you are my lover when your heart is not mine? Three times you have made sport of me, and have not made clear to me the secret of your great strength.

bbe@Judges:16:16 @So day after day she gave him no peace, for ever questioning him till his soul was troubled to death.

bbe@Judges:16:20 @Then she said, The Philistines are on you, Samson. And awaking from his sleep, he said, I will go out as at other times, shaking myself free. But he was not conscious that the Lord had gone from him.

bbe@Judges:16:25 @Now when their hearts were full of joy, they said, Send for Samson to make sport for us. And they sent for Samson out of the prison-house, and he made sport before them; and they put him between the pillars.

bbe@Judges:16:27 @Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there; and about three thousand men and women were on the roof, looking on while Samson made sport.

bbe@Judges:16:28 @And Samson, crying out to the Lord, said, O Lord God, do have me now in mind, and do make me strong only this once, O God, so that I may take one last payment from the Philistines for my two eyes.

bbe@Judges:16:31 @Then his brothers and his father's people came down and took him up and put his body to rest in the earth between Zorah and Eshtaol in the resting-place of Manoah his father. And he had been judge of Israel for twenty years.

bbe@Judges:17:1 @Now there was a man of the hill-country of Ephraim named Micah.

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:17:6 @In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did as seemed right to him.

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:17:13 @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:18:3 @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:18:14 @Then the five men who had gone to make a search through the country of Laish, said to their brothers, Have you knowledge that in these houses there is an ephod and family gods and a pictured image and a metal image? So now you see what to do.

bbe@Judges:18:19 @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:18:24 @And he said, You have taken my gods which I made, and my priest, and have gone away; what is there for me now? Why then do you say to me, What is your trouble?

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:18:28 @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: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:19:5 @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:19:7 @And the man got up to go away, but his father-in-law would not let him go, so he took his rest there again for the night.

bbe@Judges:19:8 @Then early on the morning of the fifth day he got up to go away; but the girl's father said, Keep up your strength; so the two of them had a meal, and the man and his woman and his servant did not go till after the middle of the day.

bbe@Judges:19:9 @And when they got up to go away, his father-in-law, the girl's father, said to him, Now evening is coming on, so do not go tonight; see, the day is almost gone; take your rest here and let your heart be glad, and tomorrow early, go on your way back to your house.

bbe@Judges:19:10 @But the man would not be kept there that night, and he got up and went away and came opposite to Jebus (which is Jerusalem); and he had with him the two asses, ready for travelling, and his woman

bbe@Judges:19:11 @When they got near Jebus the day was far gone; and the servant said to his master, Now let us go from our road into this town of the Jebusites and take our night's rest there.

bbe@Judges:19:12 @But his master said to him, We will not go out of our way into a strange town, whose people are not of the children of Israel; but we will go on to Gibeah.

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:19:18 @And he said to him, We are on our way from Beth-lehem-judah to the inmost parts of the hill-country of Ephraim: I came from there and went to Beth-lehem-judah: now I am on my way back to my house, but no man will take me into his house.

bbe@Judges:19:19 @But we have dry grass and food for our asses, as well as bread and wine for me, and for the woman, and for the young man with us: we have no need of anything.

bbe@Judges:19:20 @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:19:23 @So the man, the master of the house, went out to them, and said, No, my brothers, do not this evil thing; this man has come into my house, and you are not to do him this wrong.

bbe@Judges:19:24 @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:19:25 @But the men would not give ear to him: so the man took his woman and sent her out to them; and they took her by force, using her for their pleasure all night till the morning; and when dawn came they let her go.

bbe@Judges:19:28 @And he said to her, Get up and let us be going; but there was no answer; so he took her up and put her on the ass, and went on his way and came to his house.

bbe@Judges:20:3 @(Now the children of Benjamin had word that the children of Israel had gone up to Mizpah.) And the children of Israel said, Make clear how this evil thing took place.

bbe@Judges:20:7 @Here you all are, you children of Israel; give now your suggestions about what is to be done.

bbe@Judges:20:8 @Then all the people got up as one man and said, Not one of us will go to his tent or go back to his house:

bbe@Judges:20:13 @Now give up those good-for-nothing persons in Gibeah so that we may put them to death, clearing away the evil from Israel. But the children of Benjamin would not give ear to the voice of their brothers, the children of Israel.

bbe@Judges:20:23 @Now the children of Israel went up, weeping before the Lord till evening, requesting the Lord and saying, Am I to go forward again to the fight against the children of Benjamin my brother? And the Lord said, Go up against him.

bbe@Judges:20:34 @And they came in front of Gibeah, ten thousand of the best men in all Israel, and the fighting became more violent; but the children of Benjamin were not conscious that evil was coming on them.

bbe@Judges:20:38 @Now the sign fixed between the men of Israel and those making the surprise attack was that when they made a pillar of smoke go up from the town,

bbe@Judges:20:43 @And crushing Benjamin down, they went after them, driving them from Nohah as far as the east side of Gibeah.

bbe@Judges:21:1 @Now the men of Israel had taken an oath in Mizpah, saying, Not one of us will give his daughter as a wife to Benjamin.

bbe@Judges:21:5 @And the children of Israel said, Who is there among all the tribes of Israel, who did not come up to the Lord at the meeting of all Israel? For they had taken a great oath that whoever did not come up to Mizpah to the Lord was to be put to death.

bbe@Judges:21:7 @What are we to do about wives for those who are still living? For we have taken an oath by the Lord that we will not give them our daughters for wives.

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:21:9 @For when the people were numbered, not one man of the people of Jabesh-gilead was present.

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:21:14 @Then Benjamin came back; and they gave them the women whom they had kept from death among the women of Jabesh-gilead: but still there were not enough for them

bbe@Judges:21:17 @And they said, How is the rest of Benjamin to be given offspring so that one tribe of Israel may not be put out of existence,

bbe@Judges:21:18 @Seeing that we may not give them our daughters as wives? For the children of Israel had taken an oath, saying, Cursed is he who gives a wife to Benjamin.

bbe@Judges:21:19 @And they said, See, every year there is a feast of the Lord in Shiloh, which is to the north of Beth-el, on the east side of the highway which goes up from Beth-el to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.

bbe@Judges:21:22 @And when their fathers or their brothers come and make trouble, you are to say to them, Give them to us as an act of grace; for we did not take them as wives for ourselves in war; and if you yourselves had given them to us you would have been responsible for the broken oath.

bbe@Judges:21:25 @In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did what seemed right to him.

bbe@Ruth:1:1 @Now there came a time, in the days of the judges, when there was no food in the land. And a certain man went from Beth-lehem-judah, he and his wife and his two sons, to make a living-place in the country of Moab.

bbe@Ruth:1:10 @And they said to her, No, but we will go back with you to your people.

bbe@Ruth:1:12 @Go back, my daughters, and go on your way; I am so old now that I may not have another husband. If I said, I have hopes, if I had a husband tonight, and might have sons,

bbe@Ruth:1:13 @Would you keep yourselves till they were old enough? would you keep from having husbands for them? No, my daughters; but I am very sad for you that the hand of the Lord is against me.

bbe@Ruth:1:14 @Then again they were weeping; and Orpah gave her mother-in-law a kiss, but Ruth would not be parted from her.

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: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:2:7 @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:2:8 @Then said Boaz to Ruth, Give ear to me, my daughter: do not go to take up the grain in another field, or go away from here, but keep here by my young women:

bbe@Ruth:2:9 @Keep your eyes on the field they are cutting, and go after them; have I not given orders to the young men not to put a hand on you? And when you are in need of drink go to the vessels and take of what the young men have put there.

bbe@Ruth:2:13 @Then she said, May I have grace in your eyes, my lord, for you have given me comfort, and you have said kind words to your servant, though I am not like one of your servants.

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:2:16 @And let some heads of grain be pulled out of what has been corded up, and dropped for her to take, and let no sharp word be said to her.

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:2:22 @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:3:1 @And Naomi, her mother-in-law, said to her, My daughter, am I not to get you a resting-place where you may be in comfort?

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:3:7 @Now when Boaz had taken meat and drink, and his heart was glad, he went to take his rest at the end of the mass of grain; then she came softly and, uncovering his feet, went to rest.

bbe@Ruth:3:8 @Now in the middle of the night, the man awaking from his sleep in fear, and lifting himself up, saw a woman stretched at his feet.

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:3:17 @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:3:18 @Then she said, Do nothing now, my daughter, till you see what will come of this; for the man will take no rest till he has put this thing through.

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:4:6 @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:4:10 @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:4:14 @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:4:18 @Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez became the father of Hezron;

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:1:2 @And he had two wives, one named Hannah and the other Peninnah: and Peninnah was the mother of children, but Hannah had no children.

bbe@1Samuel:1:3 @Now this man went up from his town every year to give worship and to make offerings to the Lord of armies in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the Lord, were there.

bbe@1Samuel:1:5 @But to Hannah he gave one part, though Hannah was very dear to him, but the Lord had not let her have children.

bbe@1Samuel:1:6 @And the other wife did everything possible to make her unhappy, because the Lord had not let her have children;

bbe@1Samuel:1:7 @And year by year, whenever she went up to the house of the Lord, she kept on attacking her, so that Hannah gave herself up to weeping and would take no food.

bbe@1Samuel:1:8 @Then her husband Elkanah said to her, Hannah, why are you weeping? and why are you taking no food? why is your heart troubled? am I not more to you than ten sons?

bbe@1Samuel:1:9 @So after they had taken food and wine in the guest room, Hannah got up. Now Eli the priest was seated by the pillars of the doorway of the Temple of the Lord.

bbe@1Samuel:1:11 @And she made an oath, and said, O Lord of armies, if you will truly take note of the sorrow of your servant, not turning away from me but keeping me in mind, and will give me a man-child, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and his hair will never be cut.

bbe@1Samuel:1:12 @Now while she was a long time in prayer before the Lord, Eli was watching her mouth.

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:1:16 @Do not take your servant to be a good-for-nothing woman: for my words have come from my stored-up sorrow and pain.

bbe@1Samuel:1:18 @And she said, May your servant have grace in your eyes. So the woman went away, and took part in the feast, and her face was no longer sad.

bbe@1Samuel:1:20 @Now the time came when Hannah, being with child, gave birth to a son; and she gave him the name Samuel, Because, she said, I made a prayer to the Lord for him.

bbe@1Samuel:1:22 @But Hannah did not go, for she said to her husband, I will not go till the child has been taken from the breast, and then I will take him with me and put him before the Lord, where he may be for ever.

bbe@1Samuel:1:23 @And her husband Elkanah said to her, Do whatever seems right to you, but not till you have taken him from the breast; only may the Lord do as he has said. So the woman, waiting there, gave her son milk till he was old enough to be taken from the breast.

bbe@1Samuel:1:24 @Then when she had done so, she took him with her, with a three-year old ox and an ephah of meal and a skin full of wine, and took him to the house of the Lord at Shiloh: now the child was still very young.

bbe@1Samuel:2:2 @No other is holy as the Lord, for there is no other God but you: there is no Rock like our God.

bbe@1Samuel:2:3 @Say no more words of pride; let not uncontrolled sayings come out of your mouths: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, by him acts are judged.

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:2:9 @He will keep the feet of his holy ones, but the evil-doers will come to their end in the dark night, for by strength no man will overcome.

bbe@1Samuel:2:12 @Now the sons of Eli were evil and good-for-nothing men, having no knowledge of the Lord.

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:2:17 @And the sin of these young men was very great before the Lord; for they gave no honour to the Lord's offerings.

bbe@1Samuel:2:22 @Now Eli was very old; and he had news from time to time of what his sons were doing to all Israel.

bbe@1Samuel:2:24 @No, my sons, the account which is given me, which the Lord's people are sending about, is not good.

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:2:33 @But one man of your family will not be cut off by my hand, and his eyes will be made dark, and grief will be in his heart: and all the offspring of your family will come to their end by the sword of men.

bbe@1Samuel:2:35 @And I will make a true priest for myself, one who will do what is in my heart and in my mind: and I will make for him a family which will not come to an end; and his place will be before my holy one for ever.

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:3:1 @Now the young Samuel was the servant of the Lord before Eli. In those days the Lord kept his word secret from men; there was no open vision.

bbe@1Samuel:3:2 @And at that time, when Eli was resting in his place, (now his eyes were becoming clouded so that he was not able to see,)

bbe@1Samuel:3:5 @And running to Eli he said, Here am I, for you said my name. And Eli said, I did not say your name; go to your rest again. So he went back to his bed.

bbe@1Samuel:3:6 @And again the Lord said, Samuel. And Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, Here am I; for you certainly said my name. But he said in answer, I said nothing, my son; go to your rest again.

bbe@1Samuel:3:7 @Now at that time Samuel had no knowledge of the Lord, and the revelation of the word of the Lord had not come to him.

bbe@1Samuel:3:13 @And you are to say to him that I will send punishment on his family for ever, for the sin which he had knowledge of; because his sons have been cursing God and he had no control over them.

bbe@1Samuel:3:14 @So I have made an oath to the family of Eli that no offering of meat or of meal which they may make will ever take away the sin of his family.

bbe@1Samuel:3:15 @And Samuel kept where he was, not moving till the time came for opening the doors of the house of God in the morning. And fear kept him from giving Eli an account of his vision.

bbe@1Samuel: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: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:4:6 @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:4:14 @And Eli, hearing the noise and the cries, said, What is the reason of this outcry? And the man came quickly and gave the news to Eli.

bbe@1Samuel:4:15 @Now Eli was ninety-eight years old, and his eyes were fixed so that he was not able to see.

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:5:5 @So to this day no priest of Dagon, or any who come into Dagon's house, will put his foot on the doorstep of the house of Dagon in Ashdod.

bbe@1Samuel:5:7 @And when the men of Ashdod saw how it was, they said, Let not the ark of the God of Israel be with us, for his hand is hard on us and on Dagon our god.

bbe@1Samuel:5:11 @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:5:12 @And those men who were not overtaken by death were cruelly diseased: and the cry of the town went up to heaven

bbe@1Samuel:6:1 @Now the ark of the Lord was in the country of the Philistines for seven months.

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:6:6 @Why do you make your hearts hard, like the hearts of Pharaoh and the Egyptians? When he had made sport of them, did they not let the people go, and they went away?

bbe@1Samuel:6:7 @So now, take and make ready a new cart, and two cows which have never come under the yoke, and have the cows yoked to the cart, and take their young ones away from them:

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:6:12 @And the cows took the straight way, by the road to Beth-shemesh; they went by the highway, not turning to the right or to the left, and the sound of their voices was clear on the road; and the lords of the Philistines went after them as far as the edge of Beth-shemesh.

bbe@1Samuel:6:17 @Now these are the gold images which the Philistines sent as a sin-offering to the Lord; one for Ashdod, one for Gaza, one for Ashkelon, one for Gath, one for Ekron;

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:7:12 @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:7:13 @So the Philistines were overcome, and did not come into the country of Israel again: and all the days of Samuel the hand of the Lord was against the Philistines.

bbe@1Samuel:8:1 @Now when Samuel was old, he made his sons judges over Israel.

bbe@1Samuel:8:3 @And his sons did not go in his ways, but moved by the love of money took rewards, and were not upright in judging.

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

bbe@1Samuel:8:6 @But Samuel was not pleased when they said to him, Give us a king to be our judge. And Samuel made prayer to the Lord.

bbe@1Samuel:8:7 @And the Lord said to Samuel, Give ear to the voice of the people and what they say to you: they have not been turned away from you, but they have been turned away from me, not desiring me to be king over them.

bbe@1Samuel:8:8 @As they have done from the first, from the day when I took them out of Egypt till this day, turning away from me and worshipping other gods, so now they are acting in the same way to you.

bbe@1Samuel:8:9 @Give ear now to their voice: but make a serious protest to them, and give them a picture of the sort of king who will be their ruler.

bbe@1Samuel:8:18 @Then you will be crying out because of your king whom you have taken for yourselves; but the Lord will not give you an answer in that day

bbe@1Samuel:8:19 @But the people gave no attention to the voice of Samuel; and they said, No, but we will have a king over us,

bbe@1Samuel: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:9:2 @He had a son named Saul, a specially good-looking young man; there was no one better-looking among the children of Israel: he was taller by a head than any other of the people.

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:9:6 @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:9:7 @Then Saul said to his servant, But if we go, what are we to take the man? all our bread is gone, and we have no offering to take to the man of God: what are we to do?

bbe@1Samuel:9:9 @(In the past in Israel, when a man went to get directions from God, he said, Come let us go to the Seer, for he who now is named Prophet was in those days given the name of Seer.)

bbe@1Samuel:9:12 @And they said, He is; in fact he is before you: go quickly now, for he has come into the town today, for the people are making an offering in the high place today:

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:9:15 @Now the day before Saul came, the word of God had come to Samuel, saying,

bbe@1Samuel:9:20 @As for your asses which have been wandering for three days, give no thought to them, for they have come back

bbe@1Samuel:9:21 @And Saul said, Am I not a man of Benjamin, the smallest of all the tribes of Israel? and my family the least of the families of Benjamin? why then do you say these words to me?

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:10:2 @When you have gone away from me today, you will see two men by the resting-place of Rachel's body, in the land of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say to you, The asses which you went in search of have come back, and now your father, caring no longer for the asses, is troubled about you, saying, What am I to do about my son?

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:10:6 @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:10:11 @Now when Saul's old friends saw him among the band of prophets, the people said to one another, What has come to Saul, the son of Kish? Is even Saul among the prophets?

bbe@1Samuel:10:14 @And Saul's father's brother said to him and his servant, Where have you been? And he said, Searching for the asses: and when we saw no sign of them, we came to Samuel.

bbe@1Samuel:10:16 @And Saul, answering him, said, He gave us word that the asses had come back. But he said nothing to him of Samuel's words about the kingdom.

bbe@1Samuel:10:19 @But today you are turned away from your God, who himself has been your saviour from all your troubles and sorrows; and you have said to him, Put a king over us. So now, take your places before the Lord by your tribes and by your thousands.

bbe@1Samuel:10:21 @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:10:22 @So they put another question to the Lord, Is the man present here? And the answer of the Lord was, He is keeping himself from view among the goods.

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:10:27 @But certain good-for-nothing persons said, How is this man to be our saviour? And having no respect for him, they gave him no offering.

bbe@1Samuel:11:3 @Then the responsible men of Jabesh said to him, Give us seven days, so that we may send men to every part of Israel: and then, if no one comes to our help, we will come out to you.

bbe@1Samuel:11:5 @Now Saul came from the field, driving the oxen before him; and he said, Why are the people weeping? And they gave him word of what the men of Jabesh had said.

bbe@1Samuel:11:7 @And he took two oxen and, cutting them up, sent them through all the land of Israel by the hand of runners, saying, If any man does not come out after Saul and Samuel, this will be done to his oxen. And the fear of the Lord came on the people and they came out like one man.

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:11:13 @And Saul said, Not a man is to be put to death today: for today the Lord has made Israel safe.

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:12:4 @And they said, You have never been untrue to us or cruel to us; you have taken nothing from any man.

bbe@1Samuel:12:5 @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:12:7 @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:12:10 @Then crying out to the Lord, they said, We have done evil, because we have been turned away from the Lord, worshipping the Baals and the Astartes: but now, make us safe from those who are against us and we will be your servants.

bbe@1Samuel:12:12 @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:12:14 @If in the fear of the Lord you are his servants, hearing his voice and not going against the orders of the Lord, but being true to the Lord your God, you and the king ruling over you, then all will be well:

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:12:16 @Now keep where you are and see this great thing which the Lord will do before your eyes.

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: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:13:11 @And Samuel said, What have you done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were going away from me, and you had not come at the time which had been fixed, and the Philistines had come together at Michmash;

bbe@1Samuel:13:12 @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:13:18 @And another went in the direction of Beth-horon: and another went by the hill looking down on the valley of Zeboiim, in the direction of the waste land.

bbe@1Samuel:13:19 @Now there was no iron-worker in all the land of Israel: for the Philistines said, For fear the Hebrews make themselves swords or spears:

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:14:3 @And Ahijah, the son of Ahitub, brother of Ichabod, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the priest of the Lord in Shiloh, who had the ephod. And the people had no idea that Jonathan had gone.

bbe@1Samuel:14:4 @Now between the narrow roads over the mountains by which Jonathan was making his way to the Philistines' forces, there was a sharp overhanging rock on one side, and a sharp rock on the other side: one was named Bozez and the other Seneh.

bbe@1Samuel:14:5 @The one rock went up on the north in front of Michmash and the other on the south in front of Geba.

bbe@1Samuel:14:6 @And Jonathan said to his young servant who had his arms, Come, let us go over to the armies of these men who have no circumcision: it may be that the Lord will give us help, for there is no limit to his power; the Lord is able to give salvation by a great army or by a small band.

bbe@1Samuel:14:8 @Then Jonathan said, Now we will go over to these men and let them see us.

bbe@1Samuel:14:9 @If they say to us, Keep quiet where you are till we come to you; then we will keep our places and not go up to them.

bbe@1Samuel:14:19 @Now while Saul was talking to the priest, the noise in the tents of the Philistines became louder and louder; and Saul said to the priest, Take back your hand.

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:14:24 @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:14:26 @But not a man put his hand to his mouth for fear of the curse.

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:14:30 @How much more if the people had freely taken their food from the goods of those who were fighting against them! would there not have been much greater destruction among the Philistines?

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:14:36 @And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, attacking them till the morning, till there is not a man of them living. And they said, Do whatever seems right to you. Then the priest said, Let us come near to God.

bbe@1Samuel:14:37 @And Saul, desiring directions from God, said, Am I to go down after the Philistines? will you give them up into the hands of Israel? But he gave him no answer that day.

bbe@1Samuel:14:39 @For, by the living Lord, the saviour of Israel, even if the sinner is Jonathan, my son, death will certainly be his fate. But not a man among all the people gave him any answer.

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:14:44 @And Saul said, May God's punishment be on me if death is not your fate, Jonathan.

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:14:46 @Then Saul, turning back, went after the Philistines no longer: and the Philistines went back to their place.

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:14:49 @Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan and Ishvi and Malchi-shua; and these are the names of his daughters: the older was named Merab and the younger Michal;

bbe@1Samuel:14:50 @The name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz; the captain of his army was Abner, the son of Ner, brother of Saul's father.

bbe@1Samuel:15:1 @And Samuel said to Saul, The Lord sent me to put the holy oil on you and to make you king over his people, over Israel: so give ear now to the words of the Lord.

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:15:9 @But Saul and the people did not put Agag to death, and they kept the best of the sheep and the oxen and the fat beasts and the lambs, and whatever was good, not desiring to put them to the curse: but everything which was bad and of no use they put to the curse.

bbe@1Samuel:15:11 @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:15:14 @And Samuel said, What then is this sound of the crying of sheep and the noise of oxen which comes to my ears?

bbe@1Samuel:15:16 @Then Samuel said to Saul, Say no more! Let me give you word of what the Lord has said to me this night. And he said to him, Say on.

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:15:19 @Why then did you not do the orders of the Lord, but by violently taking their goods did evil in the eyes of the Lord?

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:15:29 @And further, the Glory of Israel will not say what is false, and his purpose may not be changed: for he is not a man, whose purpose may be changed.

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:15:33 @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:16:6 @Now when they came, looking at Eliab, he said, Clearly the man of the Lord's selection is before him.

bbe@1Samuel:16:7 @But the Lord said to Samuel, Do not take note of his face or how tall he is, because I will not have him: for the Lord's view is not man's; man takes note of the outer form, but the Lord sees the heart.

bbe@1Samuel:16:8 @Then Jesse sent for Abinadab and made him come before Samuel. And he said, The Lord has not taken this one.

bbe@1Samuel:16:9 @Then Jesse made Shammah come before him. And he said, The Lord has not taken this one.

bbe@1Samuel:16:10 @And Jesse made his seven sons come before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, The Lord has not taken any of these.

bbe@1Samuel:16:11 @Then Samuel said to Jesse, Are all your children here? And he said, There is still the youngest, and he is looking after the sheep. And Samuel said to Jesse, Send and make him come here: for we will not take our seats till he is here.

bbe@1Samuel:16:12 @So he sent and made him come in. Now he had red hair and beautiful eyes and pleasing looks. And the Lord said, Come, put the oil on him, for this is he.

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: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:17:8 @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:17:12 @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:17:15 @Now David went to and from Saul, looking after his father's sheep at Beth-lehem.

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:17:19 @Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.

bbe@1Samuel:17:22 @And David gave his parcels into the hands of the keeper of the army stores, and went running to the army and came to his brothers to get knowledge about them.

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:17:32 @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:17:39 @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:17:42 @And when the Philistine, taking note, saw David, he had a poor opinion of him: for he was only a boy, red-haired and good-looking.

bbe@1Samuel:17:47 @And all these people who are here today may see that the Lord does not give salvation by sword and spear: for the fight is the Lord's, and he will give you up into our hands.

bbe@1Samuel:17:48 @Now when the Philistine made a move and came near to David, David quickly went at a run in the direction of the army, meeting the Philistine face to 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:17:55 @And when Saul saw David going out against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the captain of the army, Abner, whose son is this young man? And Abner said, On your life, O king, I have no idea.

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:18:2 @And that day Saul took David and would not let him go back to his father's house.

bbe@1Samuel:18:6 @Now on their way, when David came back after the destruction of the Philistine, the women came out of all the towns of Israel, with songs and dances, meeting David with melody and joy and instruments of music.

bbe@1Samuel:18:7 @And the women, answering one another in their song, said, Saul has put to death his thousands and David his tens of thousands.

bbe@1Samuel:18:10 @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:18:17 @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:18:23 @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:18:26 @And when his servants said these words to David, he was well pleased to be the son-in-law of the king. And the days were still not past.

bbe@1Samuel:18:30 @Then the rulers of the Philistines went out to war: and whenever they went out, David did more wisely than all the other servants of Saul, so that his name became greatly honoured.

bbe@1Samuel:19:2 @And Jonathan said to David, Saul, my father, is purposing your death: so now, take care in the morning, and keep yourself safe in a secret place:

bbe@1Samuel:19:4 @And Jonathan gave his father Saul a good account of David, and said to him, Let not the king do wrong against his servant, against David; because he has done you no wrong, and all his acts have had a good outcome for you:

bbe@1Samuel:19:5 @For he put his life in danger and overcame the Philistine, and the Lord gave all Israel salvation: you saw it and were glad: why then are you sinning against him who has done no wrong, desiring the death of David without cause?

bbe@1Samuel:19:6 @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:19:11 @Then in that night Saul sent men to David's house to keep watch on him so as to put him to death in the morning: and David's wife Michal said to him, If you do not go away to a safe place tonight you will be put to death in the morning.

bbe@1Samuel:19:15 @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: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:20:5 @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:20:9 @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:20:15 @And let not your mercy ever be cut off from my family, even when the Lord has sent destruction on all David's haters, cutting them off from the face of the earth.

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:20:21 @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:20:25 @And the king took his seat, as at other times, by the wall: and Jonathan was in front, and Abner was seated by Saul's side, but there was no one in David's seat.

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:20:27 @And on the day after the new moon, that is, the second day, there was still no one in David's seat: and Saul said to his son Jonathan, Why has the son of Jesse not come to the feast yesterday or today?

bbe@1Samuel:20:29 @Saying, Our family is making an offering in the town, and my brothers have given me orders to be there: so now, if I have grace in your eyes, let me go away and see my brothers. This is why he has not come to the king's table.

bbe@1Samuel:20:30 @Then Saul was moved to wrath against Jonathan, and he said to him, You son of an evil and uncontrolled woman, have I not seen how you have given your love to the son of Jesse, to your shame and the shame of your mother?

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:20:41 @And when the boy had gone, David came from his secret place by the hill, and falling to the earth went down on his face three times: and they gave one another a kiss, weeping together, till David's grief was the greater.

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:21:2 @And David said to Ahimelech the priest, The king has given me orders and has said to me, Say nothing to anyone about the business on which I am sending you and the orders I have given you: and a certain place has been fixed to which the young men are to go.

bbe@1Samuel:21:3 @So now, if you have here five cakes of bread, give them into my hand, or whatever you have.

bbe@1Samuel:21:4 @And the priest, answering David, said, I have no common bread here but there is holy bread; if only the young men have kept themselves from women.

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:21:11 @And the servants of Achish said to him, Is not this David, the king of the land? did they not make songs about him in their dances, saying, Saul has put to death thousands, and David tens of thousands?

bbe@1Samuel:21:15 @Are there not enough unbalanced men about me, that you have let this person come and do such tricks before me? is such a man to come into my house?

bbe@1Samuel:22:5 @And the prophet Gad said to David, Do not go on living in this place but go into the land of Judah. Then David went away and came to the woodland of Hereth.

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:22:14 @Then Ahimelech answering said to the king, Who among all your servants is so true to you as David, who is the king's son-in-law, and is a captain of your armed men, and has a place of honour in your house?

bbe@1Samuel:22:15 @Is this the first time I have got directions from God for him? Far be the thought! let the king make no such statement against his servant or my father's family, for your servant has no knowledge, great or small, of this thing.

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:22:19 @And Nob, the town of the priests, he put to the sword, all the men and women, children and babies at the breast, and oxen and asses and sheep.

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:23:6 @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:23:11 @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:23:13 @Then David and his men, about six hundred of them, went out of Keilah, and got away wherever they were able to go. And Saul, hearing that David had got away from Keilah, did not go there.

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:23:15 @And David was full of fear, in the knowledge that Saul had come out to take his life; and David was in the waste land of Ziph, in Horesh.

bbe@1Samuel:23:17 @And said to him, Have no fear, for Saul my father will not get you into his power; and you will be king of Israel, and I will be by your side, and my father Saul is certain of this.

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:23:20 @So now, O king, have your soul's desire and come down, and we, for our part, will give him up into the king's hands.

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:24:1 @Now when Saul came back from fighting the Philistines, news was given him that David was in the waste land of En-gedi.

bbe@1Samuel:24:3 @And on the way he came to a place where sheep were kept, where there was a hollow in the rock; and Saul went in for a private purpose. Now David and his men were in the deepest part of the hollow.

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:24:7 @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:24:8 @And after that David came out of the hollow rock, and crying after Saul said, My lord the king. And when Saul gave a look back, David went down on his face and gave him honour.

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:24:18 @And you have made clear to me how good you have been to me today: because, when the Lord gave me up into your hands, you did not put me to death.

bbe@1Samuel:24:20 @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:24:21 @So give me your oath by the Lord, that you will not put an end to my seed after me or let my name be cut off from my father's family.

bbe@1Samuel:25:2 @Now there was a man in Maon whose business was in Carmel; he was a great man and had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats: and he was cutting the wool of his sheep in Carmel.

bbe@1Samuel:25:3 @Now this man was named Nabal, and his wife's name was Abigail: she was a woman of good sense and pleasing looks: but the man was cruel and evil in his ways; he was of the family of Caleb.

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:25:8 @If your young men are questioned they will say the same thing. So now, let my young men have grace in your eyes, for we are come at a good time; please give anything you may have by you to your servants and to your son David.

bbe@1Samuel:25:9 @And when David's young men came, they said all this to Nabal, in David's name, and said nothing more

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:25:15 @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:25:17 @So now, give thought to what you are going to do; for evil is in store for our master and all his house: for he is such a good-for-nothing person that it is not possible to say anything to him.

bbe@1Samuel:25:19 @And she said to her young men, Go on in front of me and I will come after you. But she said nothing to her husband Nabal.

bbe@1Samuel:25:20 @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:25:21 @Now David had said, What was the use of my taking care of this man's goods in the waste land, so that there was no loss of anything which was his? he has only given me back evil for good.

bbe@1Samuel:25:25 @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:25:26 @So now, my lord, by the living God and by your living soul, seeing that the Lord has kept you from the crime of blood and from taking into your hands the punishment for your wrongs, may all your haters, and those who would do evil to my lord, be like Nabal.

bbe@1Samuel:25:28 @And may the sin of your servant have forgiveness: for the Lord will certainly make your family strong, because my lord is fighting in the Lord's war; and no evil will be seen in you all your days.

bbe@1Samuel:25:31 @Then you will have no cause for grief, and my lord's heart will not be troubled because you have taken life without cause and have yourself given punishment for your wrongs: and when the Lord has been good to you, then give a thought to your servant.

bbe@1Samuel:25:34 @For truly, by the living Lord, the God of Israel, who has kept me from doing you evil, if you had not been so quick in coming to me and meeting me, by dawn there would not have been in Nabal's house so much as one male living.

bbe@1Samuel:25:36 @And Abigail went back to Nabal; and he was feasting in his house like a king; and Nabal's heart was full of joy, for he had taken much wine; so she said nothing to him till dawn came.

bbe@1Samuel:25:43 @And David had taken Ahinoam of Jezreel, to be his wife; these two were his wives.

bbe@1Samuel:25:44 @Now Saul had given his daughter Michal, David's wife, to Palti the son of Laish of Gallim.

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:26:8 @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:26:14 @And crying out to the people and to Abner, the son of Ner, David said, Have you no answer to give, Abner? Then Abner said, Who is that crying out to the king?

bbe@1Samuel:26:15 @And David said to Abner, Are you not a man of war? is there any other like you in Israel? why then have you not kept watch over your lord the king? for one of the people came in to put the king your lord to death.

bbe@1Samuel:26:16 @What you have done is not good. By the living Lord, death is the right fate for you, because you have not kept watch over your lord, the man on whom the Lord has put the holy oil. Now see, where is the king's spear, and the vessel of water which was by his head?

bbe@1Samuel:26:19 @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:26:20 @Then do not let my blood be drained out on the earth away from the face of the Lord: for the king of Israel has come out to take my life, like one going after birds in the mountains.

bbe@1Samuel:26:21 @Then Saul said, I have done wrong: come back to me, David my son: I will do you no more wrong, because my life was dear to you today truly, I have been foolish and my error is very great.

bbe@1Samuel:26:23 @And the Lord will give to every man the reward of his righteousness and his faith: because the Lord gave you into my hands today, and I would not put out my hand against the man who has been marked with the holy oil.

bbe@1Samuel: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:27:4 @And Saul, hearing that David had gone to Gath, went after him no longer.

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:27:9 @And David again and again made attacks on the land till not a man or a woman was still living; and he took away the sheep and the oxen and the asses and the camels and the clothing; and he came back to Achish.

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:28:2 @And David said to Achish, You will see now what your servant will do. And Achish said to David, Then I will make you keeper of my head for ever.

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:28:6 @And when Saul went for directions to the Lord, the Lord gave him no answer, by a dream or by the Urim or by the prophets.

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:28:10 @And Saul made an oath to her by the Lord, saying, By the living Lord, no punishment will come to you for this.

bbe@1Samuel:28:13 @And the king said to her, Have no fear: what do you see? And the woman said to Saul, I see a god coming up out of the earth.

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:28:15 @And Samuel said to Saul, Why have you made me come up, troubling my rest? And Saul in answer said, I am in great danger; for the Philistines are making war on me, and God has gone away from me and will no longer give me any answer, by the prophets or by dreams: so I have sent for you to make clear to me what I am to do

bbe@1Samuel:28:18 @Because you did not do what the Lord said, and did not give effect to his burning wrath against Amalek. So the Lord has done this thing to you today.

bbe@1Samuel:28:20 @Then Saul went down flat on the earth, and was full of fear because of Samuel's words: and there was no strength in him, for he had taken no food all that day or all that night.

bbe@1Samuel:28:21 @And the woman came to Saul and saw that he was in great trouble, and said to him, See now, your servant has given ear to your words, and I have put my life in danger by doing what you said.

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: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:29:3 @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:29:5 @Is this not David, who was named in their songs, when in the dance they said to one another, Saul has put to death thousands, and David tens of thousands?

bbe@1Samuel:29:6 @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:29:7 @So now go back, and go in peace, so that you do not make the lords of the Philistines angry.

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:30:2 @And had made the women and all who were there, small and great, prisoners: they had not put any of them to death, but had taken them all away.

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:30:5 @And David's two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel, had been made prisoners.

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:30:15 @And David said to him, Will you take me down to this band? And he said, If you give me your oath that you will not put me to death or give me up to my master, I will take you to them.

bbe@1Samuel:30:17 @And David went on fighting them from evening till the evening of the day after; and not one of them got away but only four hundred young men who went in flight on camels.

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:30:23 @Then David said, You are not to do this, my brothers, after what the Lord has given us, who has kept us safe and given up the band which came against us into our hands.

bbe@1Samuel:30:25 @And so he made it a rule and an order for Israel from that day till now.

bbe@1Samuel:31:1 @Now the Philistines were fighting against Israel: and the men of Israel went in flight before the Philistines, falling down wounded in Mount Gilboa.

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:31:8 @Now on the day after, when the Philistines came to take their goods from the dead, they saw Saul and his three sons dead on the earth in Mount Gilboa.

bbe@1Samuel:31:13 @And their bones they put in the earth under a tree in Jabesh; and for seven days they took no food.

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:1:10 @So I put my foot on him and gave him his death-blow, because I was certain that he would not go on living after his fall: and I took the crown from his head and the band from his arm, and I have them here for my lord.

bbe@2Samuel:1:12 @And till evening they gave themselves to sorrow and weeping, and took no food, weeping for Saul and for Jonathan, his son, and for the people of the Lord and for the men of Israel; because they had come to their end by the sword.

bbe@2Samuel:1:14 @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:1:20 @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:1:22 @From the blood of the dead, from the fat of the strong, the bow of Jonathan was not turned back, the sword of Saul did not come back unused.

bbe@2Samuel:1:23 @Saul and Jonathan were loved and pleasing; in their lives and in their death they were not parted; they went more quickly than eagles, they were stronger than lions.

bbe@2Samuel:2:1 @Now after this, David, questioning the Lord, said, Am I to go up into any of the towns of Judah? And the Lord said to him, Go up. And David said, Where am I to go? And he said, To Hebron.

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:2:7 @Then let your hands be strong, and have no fear: though Saul your lord is dead, the people of Judah have made me their king.

bbe@2Samuel:2:8 @Now Abner, the son of Ner, captain of Saul's army, had taken Saul's son Ish-bosheth over to Mahanaim,

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:2:19 @Asahel went running after Abner, not turning to the right or to the left.

bbe@2Samuel:2:21 @And Abner said, Then go to the right or to the left and put your hands on one of the fighting-men and take his arms. But Asahel would not be turned away from going after Abner.

bbe@2Samuel:2:22 @Then again Abner said to Asahel, Go to one side, do not keep on coming after me: why will you make me put an end to you? for then I will be shamed before your brother Joab.

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:2:27 @And Joab said, By the living God, if you had not given the word, the people would have gone on attacking their countrymen till the morning.

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:3:1 @Now there was a long war between Saul's people and David's people; and David became stronger and stronger, but those on Saul's side became more and more feeble.

bbe@2Samuel:3:2 @While David was in Hebron he became the father of sons: the oldest was Amnon, son of Ahinoam of Jezreel;

bbe@2Samuel:3:6 @Now while there was war between Saul's people and David's people, Abner was making himself strong among the supporters of Saul.

bbe@2Samuel:3:7 @Now Saul had among his wives a woman named Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah: and Ish-bosheth said to Abner, Why have you taken my father's wife?

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:3:9 @May God's punishment be on Abner, if I do not for David as the Lord in his oath has said,

bbe@2Samuel:3:10 @And if I do not take away the kingdom from the family of Saul and make David ruler over Israel and Judah from Dan as far as Beer-sheba!

bbe@2Samuel:3:11 @And so great was Ish-bosheth's fear of Abner that he was not able to say a word in answer.

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:3:17 @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:3:21 @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:3:34 @Your hands were free, your feet were not chained: like the downfall of a man before evil men, so was your fall. And the weeping of the people over him went on again.

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:3:38 @And the king said to his servants, Do you not see that a chief and a great man has come to his end today in Israel?

bbe@2Samuel:4:4 @Now Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son whose feet were damaged. He was five years old when news of the death of Saul and Jonathan came from Jezreel, and the woman who took care of him took him up and went in flight: and while she was getting him away as quickly as she was able, he had a fall and his feet were damaged. His name was Mephibosheth.

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: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:5:21 @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:6:10 @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:6:22 @And I will do even worse than this, and make myself even lower in your eyes: but the servant-girls of whom you were talking will give me honour.

bbe@2Samuel:6:23 @And Michal, Saul's daughter, had no child till the day of her death.

bbe@2Samuel:7:1 @Now when the king was living in his house, and the Lord had given him rest from war on every side;

bbe@2Samuel:7:2 @The king said to Nathan the prophet, See now, I am living in a house of cedar, but the ark of God is housed inside the curtains of a tent.

bbe@2Samuel:7:4 @Now that night the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying,

bbe@2Samuel:7:6 @For from the day when I took the children of Israel up out of Egypt till this day, I have had no house, but have gone from place to place in a tent.

bbe@2Samuel:7:7 @In all the places where I went with all the children of Israel, did I ever say to any of the judges of Israel, to whom I gave the care of my people Israel, Why have you not made me a house of cedar?

bbe@2Samuel:7:15 @But my mercy will not be taken away from him, as I took it from him who was before you.

bbe@2Samuel:7:18 @Then David the king went in and took his seat before the Lord, and said, Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my family, that you have been my guide till now?

bbe@2Samuel:7:20 @What more may David say to you? for you have knowledge of your servant, O Lord God.

bbe@2Samuel:7:22 @Truly you are great, O Lord God: there is no one like you and no other God but you, as is clear from everything which has come to our ears.

bbe@2Samuel:7:25 @And now, O Lord God, may the word which you have said about your servant and about his family, be made certain for ever, and may you do as you have said!

bbe@2Samuel:7:28 @And now, O Lord God, you are God and your words are true and you have said you will give your servant this good thing;

bbe@2Samuel:8:4 @And David took from him one thousand, seven hundred horsemen and twenty thousand footmen: and David had the leg-muscles of the horses cut, only keeping enough of them for a hundred war-carriages.

bbe@2Samuel:8:13 @And David got great honour for himself, when he came back, by the destruction of Edom in the valley of Salt, to the number of eighteen thousand men.

bbe@2Samuel:9:2 @Now there was of Saul's people a servant named Ziba, and they sent him to David; and the king said to him, Are you Ziba? And he said, I am.

bbe@2Samuel:9:6 @And Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, came to David, and falling down on his face, gave him honour. And David said, Mephibosheth. And answering he said, Your servant is here.

bbe@2Samuel:9:7 @And David said to him, Have no fear: for truly I will be good to you, because of your father Jonathan, and I will give back to you all the land which was Saul's; and you will have a place at my table at all times.

bbe@2Samuel:9:8 @And he went down on his face before the king, and said, What is your servant, for you to take note of a dead dog such as I am?

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:9:13 @So Mephibosheth went on living in Jerusalem; for he took all his meals at the king's table; and he had not the use of his feet.

bbe@2Samuel:10:1 @Now after this, death came to the king of the children of Ammon, and Hanun, his son, became king in his place.

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:10:9 @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:10:19 @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:11:2 @Now one evening, David got up from his bed, and while he was walking on the roof of the king's house, he saw from there a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful.

bbe@2Samuel:11:3 @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:11:9 @But Uriah took his rest at the door of the king's house, with all the servants of his lord, and did not go down to his house.

bbe@2Samuel:11:10 @And when word was given to David that Uriah had not gone down to his house, David said to Uriah, Have you not come from a journey? why did you not go down to your house?

bbe@2Samuel:11:11 @And Uriah said to David, Israel and Judah with the ark are living in tents, and my lord Joab and the other servants of my lord are sleeping in the open field; and am I to go to my house and take food and drink, and go to bed with my wife? By the living Lord, and by the life of your soul, I will not do such a thing

bbe@2Samuel:11:13 @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:11:14 @Now in the morning, David gave Uriah a letter to take to Joab.

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:11:25 @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:12:4 @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:12:8 @I gave you your master's daughter and your master's wives for yourself, and I gave you the daughters of Israel and Judah; and if that had not been enough, I would have given you such and such things.

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:12:14 @But still, because you have had no respect for the Lord, death will certainly overtake the child who has newly come to birth.

bbe@2Samuel:12:16 @So David made prayer to God for the child; and he took no food day after day, and went in and, stretching himself out on the earth, was there all night.

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:12:18 @And then on the seventh day the child's death took place. And David's servants were in fear of giving him the news of the child's death: for they said, Truly, while the child was still living he gave no attention when we said anything to him: what will he do to himself if we give him word that the child is dead?

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:12:26 @Now Joab was fighting against Rabbah, in the land of the children of Ammon, and he took the water-town.

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: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:13:3 @But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother: and Jonadab was a very wise man.

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:13:6 @So Amnon went to bed and made himself seem ill: and when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, Please let my sister Tamar come and make me one or two cakes before my eyes, so that I may take food from her hand.

bbe@2Samuel:13:7 @Then David sent to the house for Tamar and said, Go now to your brother Amnon's house and get a meal for him.

bbe@2Samuel:13:8 @So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he was in bed. And she took paste and made cakes before his eyes, cooking them over the fire.

bbe@2Samuel:13:9 @And she took the cooking-pot, and put the cakes before him, but he would not take them. And Amnon said, Let everyone go away from me. So they all went out.

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:13:16 @And she said to him, Not so, my brother, for this great wrong in sending me away is worse than what you did to me before. But he gave no attention to her.

bbe@2Samuel:13:18 @Now she had on a long robe, such as in past times the king's virgin daughters were dressed in. Then the servant put her out, locking the door 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:13:21 @But when King David had news of all these things he was very angry; but he did not make trouble for Amnon his son, for he was dear to David, being his oldest son.

bbe@2Samuel:13:22 @But Absalom said nothing to his brother Amnon, good or bad: for he was full of hate for him, because he had taken his sister Tamar by force.

bbe@2Samuel:13:23 @Now after two full years, Absalom had men cutting the wool of his sheep in Baal-hazor, which is near Ephraim: and he sent for all the king's sons to come to his feast.

bbe@2Samuel:13:24 @And Absalom came to the king and said, See now, your servant is cutting the wool of his sheep; will the king and his servants be pleased to come?

bbe@2Samuel:13:25 @And the king said to Absalom, No, my son, let us not all go, or the number will be over-great for you. And he made his request again, but he would not go, but he gave him his blessing.

bbe@2Samuel:13:26 @Then Absalom said, If you will not go, then let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said to him, Is there any reason for him to go with you?

bbe@2Samuel: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:13:29 @So Absalom's servants did to Amnon as Absalom had given them orders. Then all the king's sons got up, and every man got on his beast and went in flight.

bbe@2Samuel:13:30 @Now while they were on their way, news was given to David that Absalom had put to death all the sons of the king and that not one of them was still living.

bbe@2Samuel:13:32 @And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother, said, Let not my lord have the idea that all the sons of the king have been put to death; for only Amnon is dead: this has been purposed by Absalom from the day when he took his sister Tamar by force.

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:13:39 @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:14:2 @And Joab sent to Tekoa and got from there a wise woman, and said to her, Now make yourself seem like one given up to grief, and put on the clothing of sorrow, not using any sweet oil for your body, but looking like one who for a long time has been weeping for the dead:

bbe@2Samuel:14:4 @And the woman of Tekoa came to the king, and falling on her face, gave him honour and said, Give me help, O king.

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:14:10 @And the king said, If anyone says anything to you, make him come to me, and he will do you no more damage.

bbe@2Samuel:14:11 @Then she said, Let the king keep in mind the Lord your God, so that he who gives punishment for blood may be kept back from further destruction and that no one may send death on my son. And he said, By the living Lord, not a hair of your son's head will come to the earth.

bbe@2Samuel:14:13 @And the woman said, Why have you had such a thought about the people of God? (for in saying these very words the king has put himself in the wrong because he has not taken back the one whom he sent far away.)

bbe@2Samuel:14:14 @For death comes to us all, and we are like water drained out on the earth, which it is not possible to take up again; and God will not take away the life of the man whose purpose is that he who has been sent away may not be completely cut off from him.

bbe@2Samuel:14:15 @And now it is my fear of the people which has made me come to say these words to my lord the king: and your servant said, I will put my cause before the king, and it may be that he will give effect to my request.

bbe@2Samuel:14:18 @Then the king said to the woman, Now give me an answer to the question I am going to put to you; keep nothing back. And the woman said, Let my lord the king say on.

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:14:24 @And the king said, Let him go to his house, but let him not see my face. So Absalom went back to his house and did not see the face of the king.

bbe@2Samuel:14:25 @Now in all Israel there was no one so greatly to be praised for his beautiful form as Absalom: from his feet to the crown of his head he was completely beautiful.

bbe@2Samuel:14:29 @Then Absalom sent for Joab to send him to the king, but he would not come to him: and he sent again a second time, but he would not come.

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:15:1 @Now after this, Absalom got for himself a carriage and horses, and fifty runners to go before him.

bbe@2Samuel:15:3 @And Absalom would say to him, See, your cause is true and right; but no man has been named by the king to give you a hearing.

bbe@2Samuel:15:5 @And if any man came near to give him honour, he took him by the hand and gave him a kiss.

bbe@2Samuel:15:7 @Now at the end of four years, Absalom said to the king, Let me go to Hebron and give effect to the oath which I made to the Lord:

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:15:19 @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:15:26 @But if he says, I have no delight in you: then, here I am; let him do to me what seems good to him.

bbe@2Samuel:15:29 @So Zadok and Abiathar took the ark of God back to Jerusalem, and did not go away from there.

bbe@2Samuel:15:30 @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:15:32 @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:15:34 @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:16:4 @Then the king said to Ziba, Truly everything which was Mephibosheth's is yours. And Ziba said, I give honour to my lord, may I have grace in your eyes, my lord, O king!

bbe@2Samuel:16:7 @And Shimei said, with curses, Be gone, be gone, you man of blood, you good-for-nothing:

bbe@2Samuel:16:8 @The Lord has sent punishment on you for all the blood of the family of Saul, whose kingdom you have taken; and the Lord has given the kingdom to Absalom, your son: now you yourself are taken in your evil, because you are a man of blood.

bbe@2Samuel:16:12 @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:16:17 @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: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:17:12 @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:17:16 @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:17:19 @And a woman put a cover over the hole, and put crushed grain on top of it, and no one had any knowledge of it.

bbe@2Samuel:17:20 @And Absalom's servants came to the woman at the house and said, Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman said to them, They have gone from here to the stream. And after searching for them, and seeing nothing of them, they went back to Jerusalem.

bbe@2Samuel:17:23 @Now when Ahithophel saw that his suggestion was not acted on, he got his ass ready, and went back to his house, to the town where he came from, and having put his house in order, he put himself to death by hanging; so he came to his end and was put in the resting-place of his father

bbe@2Samuel: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: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:18:11 @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:18:18 @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:18:20 @And Joab said, You will take no news today; another day you may give him the news, but you will take no news today, because the king's son is dead.

bbe@2Samuel:18:22 @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:18:24 @Now David was seated between the two town doors; and the watchman went up to the roof of the doorways, on the wall, and, lifting up his eyes, saw a man running by himself.

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:18:29 @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:19:5 @And Joab came into the house to the king and said, Today you have put to shame the faces of all your servants who even now have kept you and your sons and your daughters and your wives and all your women safe from death;

bbe@2Samuel:19:6 @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:19:8 @Then the king got up and took his seat near the town-door. And word was given to all the people that the king was in the public place: and all the people came before the king. Now all the men of Israel had gone back in flight to their tents.

bbe@2Samuel:19:9 @And through all the tribes of Israel the people were having arguments, saying, The king made us safe from the hands of those who were against us and made us free from the hands of the Philistines; and now he has gone in flight from the land, because of Absalom.

bbe@2Samuel:19:13 @And say to Amasa, Are you not my bone and my flesh? May God's punishment be on me, if I do not make you chief of the army before me at all times in place of Joab!

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:19:21 @But Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, said, Is not death the right fate for Shimei, because he has been cursing the one marked by the holy oil?

bbe@2Samuel:19:23 @So the king said to Shimei, You will not be put to death. And the king gave him his oath.

bbe@2Samuel:19:24 @And Mephibosheth, the son of Saul's son, came down for the purpose of meeting the king; his feet had not been cared for or his hair cut or his clothing washed from the day when the king went away till the day when he came back in peace.

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:19:29 @And the king said, Say nothing more about these things. I say, Let there be a division of the land between Ziba and you.

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:19:32 @Now Barzillai was a very old man, as much as eighty years old: and he had given the king everything he had need of, while he was at Mahanaim, for he was a very great man.

bbe@2Samuel:19:35 @I am now eighty years old: good and bad are the same to me; have meat and drink any taste for me now? am I able to take pleasure in the voices of men or women in song? why then am I to be a trouble to my lord 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:19:43 @And in answer to the men of Judah, the men of Israel said, We have ten parts in the king, and we are the first in order of birth: why did you make nothing of us? and were we not the first to make suggestions for getting the king back? And the words of the men of Judah were more violent than the words of the men of Israel.

bbe@2Samuel:20:1 @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:20:3 @And David came to his house at Jerusalem: and the king took the ten women to whom he had given the care of the house, and had them shut up, and gave them the necessaries of life, but did not go near them. So they were shut up till the day of their death, living as widows.

bbe@2Samuel:20:8 @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:20:10 @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:20:16 @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:20:21 @Not so: but a man of the hill-country of Ephraim, Sheba, son of Bichri, by name, has taken up arms against the king, against David: give up this man only, and I will go away from the town. And the woman said to Joab, His head will be dropped over the wall to you.

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: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:21:4 @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:21:7 @But the king did not give up Mephibosheth, the son of Saul's son Jonathan, because of the Lord's oath made between David and Jonathan, the son of Saul.

bbe@2Samuel:21:10 @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:21:17 @But Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, came to his help, and, turning on the Philistine, gave him his death-blow. Then David's men took an oath, and said, Never again are you to go out with us to the fight, so that you may not put out the light of Israel.

bbe@2Samuel:21:18 @Now after this there was war with the Philistines again at Gob, and Sibbecai the Hushathite put to death Saph, one of the offspring of the Rephaim.

bbe@2Samuel:22:9 @There went up a smoke from his nose, and a fire of destruction from his mouth: coals were lighted by it.

bbe@2Samuel:22:22 @For I have kept the ways of the Lord; I have not been turned away in sin from my God.

bbe@2Samuel:22:23 @For all his decisions were before me, and I did not put away his laws from me.

bbe@2Samuel:22:27 @He who is holy will see that you are holy; but to the man whose way is not straight you will be a hard judge.

bbe@2Samuel:22:37 @You have made my steps wide under me, so that my feet make no slip.

bbe@2Samuel:22:38 @I go after my haters and overtake them; not turning back till they are all overcome.

bbe@2Samuel:22:39 @I have sent destruction on them and given them wounds, so that they are not able to get up: they are stretched under my feet.

bbe@2Samuel:22:42 @They were crying out, but there was no one to come to their help: even to the Lord, but he gave them no answer.

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:22:47 @The Lord is living; praise be to my Rock, and let the God of my salvation be honoured:

bbe@2Samuel:23:1 @Now these are the last words of David. David, the son of Jesse, says, the man who was lifted up on high, the man on whom the God of Jacob put the holy oil, the loved one of Israel's songs, says:

bbe@2Samuel:23:5 @For is not my house so with God? For he has made with me an eternal agreement, ordered in all things and certain: as for all my salvation and all my desire, will he not give it increase?

bbe@2Samuel:23:6 @But the evil-doers, all of them, will be like thorns to be pushed away, because they may not be gripped in the hand:

bbe@2Samuel:23:16 @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:23:19 @Was he not the noblest of the thirty? so he was made their captain: but he was not equal to the first three.

bbe@2Samuel:23:20 @And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, a fighting man of Kabzeel, had done great acts; he put to death the two sons of Ariel of Moab: he went down into a hole and put a lion to death in time of snow:

bbe@2Samuel:23:23 @He was honoured over the rest of the thirty, but he was not equal to the first three. And David put him over the fighting men who kept him safe.

bbe@2Samuel:24:2 @And the king said to Joab and the captains of the army, who were with him, Go now through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan as far as Beer-sheba, and have all the people numbered, so that I may be certain of the number of the people.

bbe@2Samuel:24:10 @And after the people had been numbered, David's heart was troubled. And David said to the Lord, Great has been my sin in doing this; but now, O Lord, be pleased to take away the sin of your servant, for I have done very foolishly

bbe@2Samuel:24:11 @And David got up in the morning; now the word of the Lord had come to the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,

bbe@2Samuel:24:13 @So Gad came to David, and gave him word of this and said to him, Are there to be three years when there is not enough food in your land? or will you go in flight from your haters for three months, while they go after you? or will you have three days of violent disease in your land? take thought and say what answer I am to give to him who sent me.

bbe@2Samuel:24:14 @And David said to Gad, This is a hard decision for me to make: let us come into the hands of the Lord, for great are his mercies: let me not come into the hands of men.

bbe@2Samuel:24:16 @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:24:24 @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:1:1 @Now King David was old and far on in years; and though they put covers over him, his body was cold.

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:1:6 @Now all his life his father had never gone against him or said to him, Why have you done so? and he was a very good-looking man, and younger than Absalom.

bbe@1Kings:1:8 @But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet and Shimei and Rei, and David's men of war did not take the side of Adonijah.

bbe@1Kings:1:10 @But he did not send for Nathan the prophet and Benaiah and the other men of war and Solomon his brother.

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:1:12 @So now, let me make a suggestion, so that you may keep your life safe and the life of your son Solomon.

bbe@1Kings:1:13 @Come now, go to King David and say to him, Did you not, O my lord, take an oath to me, your servant, saying, Truly Solomon your son will be king after me, seated on the seat of my kingdom? why then is Adonijah acting as king?

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:1:16 @And Bath-sheba went down on her face on the earth before the king giving him honour. And he said, What is your desire?

bbe@1Kings:1:18 @And now, see, Adonijah has made himself king without my lord's knowledge;

bbe@1Kings:1:19 @And has put to death oxen and fat beasts and sheep in great numbers, and has sent for all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab, the captain of the army; but he has not sent for Solomon your servant.

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:1:26 @But me, your servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and your servant Solomon, he has not sent for.

bbe@1Kings:1:31 @Then Bath-sheba went down on her face on the earth before the king giving him honour, and said, May my lord King David go on living for ever.

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:1:43 @And Jonathan, answering, said to Adonijah, Not so, but our lord King David has made Solomon king:

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:1:46 @And now Solomon is seated on the seat of the kingdom.

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:1:53 @So King Solomon sent, and they took him down from the altar. And he came and gave honour to King Solomon; and Solomon said to him, Go to your house.

bbe@1Kings:2:1 @Now the time of David's death came near; and he gave orders to Solomon his son, saying,

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:2:8 @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:2:15 @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:2:16 @Now I have one request to make to you, and do not say, No, to me. And she said to him, Say on.

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:2:20 @Then she said, I have one small request to make to you; do not say, No, to me. And the king said, Say on, my mother, for I will not say, No, to you.

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:2:24 @Now by the living Lord, who has given me my place on the seat of David my father, and made me one of a line of kings, as he gave me his word, truly Adonijah will be put to death this day.

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:2:27 @So Solomon let Abiathar be priest no longer, so that he might make the word of the Lord come true which he said about the sons of Eli in Shiloh.

bbe@1Kings:2:28 @And news of this came to Joab; for Joab had been one of Adonijah's supporters, though he had not been on Absalom's side. Then Joab went in flight to the Tent of the Lord, and put his hands on the horns of the altar.

bbe@1Kings:2:30 @And Benaiah came to the Tent of the Lord and said to him, The king says, Come out. And he said, No; but let death come to me here. And Benaiah went back to the king and gave him word of the answer which Joab had given.

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:2:36 @Then the king sent for Shimei, and said to him, Make a house for yourself in Jerusalem and keep there and go to no other place.

bbe@1Kings:2:42 @Then the king sent for Shimei, and said to him, Did I not make you take an oath by the Lord, protesting to you and saying, Be certain that on the day when you go out from here, wherever you go, death will overtake you? and you said to me, Very well!

bbe@1Kings:2:43 @Why then have you not kept the oath of the Lord and the order which I gave you?

bbe@1Kings:2:44 @And the king said to Shimei, You have knowledge of all the evil which you did to David my father; and now the Lord has sent back your evil on yourself.

bbe@1Kings:3:2 @But all this time the people were making their offerings in the high places, because no house had been put up to the name of the Lord till those days.

bbe@1Kings:3:7 @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:3:8 @And your servant has round him the people of your selection, a people so great that they may not be numbered, and no account of them may be given.

bbe@1Kings:3:10 @Now these words and Solomon's request were pleasing to the Lord

bbe@1Kings:3:11 @And God said to him, Because your request is for this thing, and not for long life for yourself or for wealth or for the destruction of your haters, but for wisdom to be a judge of causes;

bbe@1Kings:3:13 @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:3:18 @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:3:21 @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:3:22 @And the other woman said, No; but the living child is my son and the dead one yours. But the first said, No; the dead child is your son and the living one mine. So they kept on talking before the king.

bbe@1Kings:3:23 @Then the king said, One says, The living child is my son, and yours is the dead: and the other says, Not so; but your son is the dead one and mine is the living.

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:4:1 @Now Solomon was king over all Israel.

bbe@1Kings:4:27 @And those overseers, every man in his month, saw that food was produced for Solomon and all his guests, they took care that nothing was overlooked.

bbe@1Kings:4:33 @He made sayings about all plants, from the cedar in Lebanon to the hyssop hanging on the wall; and about all beasts and birds and fishes and the small things of the earth.

bbe@1Kings:5:1 @Now Hiram, king of Tyre, hearing that Solomon had been made king in place of his father, sent his servants to him; for Hiram had ever been a friend to David.

bbe@1Kings:5:3 @You have knowledge that David my father was not able to make a house for the name of the Lord his God, because of the wars which were round him on every side, till the Lord put all those who were against him under his feet.

bbe@1Kings:5:4 @But now the Lord my God has given me rest on every side; no one is making trouble, and no evil is taking place.

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:5:7 @And these words of Solomon made Hiram glad, and he said, Now may the Lord be praised who has given to David a wise son to be king over this great people.

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:5:12 @Now the Lord had given Solomon wisdom, as he had said to him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and they made an agreement together

bbe@1Kings:5:14 @And sent them to Lebanon in bands of ten thousand every month: for a month they were working in Lebanon and for two months in their country, and Adoniram was in control of them.

bbe@1Kings:6:6 @The lowest line of them being five cubits wide, the middle six cubits wide and the third seven cubits; for there was a space all round the outside walls of the house so that the boards supporting the rooms did not have to be fixed in the walls of the house.

bbe@1Kings:6:7 @(And the stones used in the building of the house were squared at the place where they were cut out; there was no sound of hammer or axe or any iron instrument while they were building the house.)

bbe@1Kings:6:13 @And I will be ever among the children of Israel, and will not go away from my people.

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: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:7:5 @And all the doors and windows had square frames, with the windows facing one another in three lines.

bbe@1Kings:7:14 @He was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass; he was full of wisdom and knowledge and an expert worker in brass. He came to King Solomon and did all his work for him.

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:7:31 @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:7:47 @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:8:8 @The rods were so long that their ends were seen from the holy place, in front of the inmost room; but they were not seen from outside: and there they are to this day.

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:8:10 @Now when the priests had come out of the holy place, the house of the Lord was full of the cloud,

bbe@1Kings:8:11 @So that the priests were not able to keep their places to do their work because of the cloud, for the house of the Lord was full of the glory of the Lord.

bbe@1Kings:8:12 @Then Solomon said, O Lord, to the sun you have given the heaven for a living-place, but your living-place was not seen by men;

bbe@1Kings:8:16 @From the day when I took my people Israel out of Egypt, no town in all the tribes of Israel has been marked out by me for the building of a house for the resting-place of my name; but I made selection of David to be king over my people Israel.

bbe@1Kings:8:17 @Now it was in the heart of David my father to put up a house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.

bbe@1Kings:8:19 @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:8:23 @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:8:25 @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:8:32 @Then let your ear be open in heaven, and be the judge of your servants, giving your decision against the wrongdoer, so that punishment for his sins may come on his head; and, by your decision, keeping from evil him who has done no wrong.

bbe@1Kings:8:33 @When your people Israel are overcome in war, because of their sin against you; if they are turned to you again, honouring your name, making prayers to you and requesting your grace in this house:

bbe@1Kings:8:35 @When heaven is shut up and there is no rain, because of their sin against you; if they make prayers with their faces turned to this place, honouring your name and turning away from their sin when you send trouble on them:

bbe@1Kings:8:37 @If there is no food in the land, or if there is disease, or if the fruits of the earth are damaged through heat or water, locust or worm; if their towns are shut in by their attackers; whatever trouble, whatever disease there may be:

bbe@1Kings:8:39 @Give ear in heaven your living-place, acting in mercy; 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 all the children of men:

bbe@1Kings:8:41 @And as for the man from a strange land, who is not of your people Israel; when he comes from a far country because of the glory of your name:

bbe@1Kings:8:43 @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:8:57 @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:8:60 @So that all the peoples of the earth may see that the Lord is God, and there is no other.

bbe@1Kings:8:62 @Now the king, and all Israel with him, were making offerings before the Lord.

bbe@1Kings:8:64 @The same day the king made holy the middle of the open square in front of the house of the Lord, offering there the burned offering and the meal offering and the fat of the peace-offerings; for there was not room on the brass altar of the Lord for the burned offerings and the meal offerings and the fat of the peace-offerings.

bbe@1Kings:9:1 @Now when Solomon came to the end of building the house of the Lord and the king's house, and all Solomon's desires, which he had in mind were effected;

bbe@1Kings:9:6 @But if you are turned from my ways, you or your children, and do not keep my orders and my laws which I have put before you, but go and make yourselves servants to other gods and give them worship:

bbe@1Kings:9:10 @Now at the end of twenty years, in which time Solomon had put up the two houses, the house of the Lord and the king's house,

bbe@1Kings:9:12 @But when Hiram came from Tyre to see the towns which Solomon had given him, he was not pleased with them.

bbe@1Kings:9:15 @Now, this was the way of Solomon's system of forced work for the building of the Lord's house and of the king's house, and the Millo and the wall of Jerusalem and Megiddo and Gezer....

bbe@1Kings:9:19 @And all the store-towns and the towns which Solomon had for his war-carriages and for his horsemen, and everything which it was his pleasure to put up in Jerusalem and in Lebanon and in all the land under his rule.

bbe@1Kings:9:20 @As for the rest of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not children of Israel;

bbe@1Kings:9:21 @Their children who were still in the land, and whom the children of Israel had not been able to put to complete destruction, them did Solomon put to forced work, to this day.

bbe@1Kings:9:22 @But Solomon did not put the children of Israel to forced work; they were the men of war, his servants, his captains, and his chiefs, captains of his war-carriages and of his horsemen.

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:10:3 @And Solomon gave her answers to all her questions; there was no secret which the king did not make clear to her.

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:10:14 @Now the weight of gold which came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents;

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:10:20 @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:10:21 @And all King Solomon's drinking-vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the Woods of Lebanon were of the best gold; not one was of silver, for no one gave a thought to silver in the days of King Solomon.

bbe@1Kings: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:11:6 @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:11:10 @And had given him orders about this very thing, that he was not to go after other gods; but he did not keep the orders of the Lord.

bbe@1Kings:11:11 @So the Lord said to Solomon, Because you have done this, and have not kept my agreement and my laws, which I gave you, I will take the kingdom away from you by force and will give it to your servant

bbe@1Kings:11:12 @I will not do it in your life-time, because of your father David, but I will take it from your son.

bbe@1Kings:11:13 @Still I will not take all the kingdom from him; but I will give one tribe to your son, because of my servant David, and because of Jerusalem, the town of my selection.

bbe@1Kings:11:19 @Now Hadad was very pleasing to Pharaoh, so that he gave him the sister of his wife, Tahpenes the queen, for his wife.

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:11:23 @And God sent another trouble-maker, Rezon, the son of Eliada, who had gone in flight from his lord, Hadadezer, king of Zobah:

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:11:33 @Because they are turned away from me to the worship of Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Zidonians, and Chemosh, the god of Moab, and Milcom, the god of the Ammonites; they have not been walking in my ways or doing what is right in my eyes or keeping my laws and my decisions as his father David did.

bbe@1Kings:11:34 @But I will not take the kingdom from him; I will let him be king all the days of his life, because of David my servant, in whom I took delight because he kept my orders and my laws.

bbe@1Kings:11:39 @(So that I may send trouble for this on the seed of David, but not for ever.)

bbe@1Kings:11:41 @Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all he did, and his wisdom, are they not recorded in the book of the acts of Solomon?

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:12:13 @And the king gave them a rough answer, giving no attention to the suggestion of the old men;

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:12:20 @Now when all Israel had news that Jeroboam had come back, they sent for him to come before the meeting of the people, and made him king over Israel: not one of them was joined to the family of David but only the tribe of Judah.

bbe@1Kings:12:24 @The Lord has said, You are not to go to war against your brothers, the children of Israel; go back, every man to his house, because this thing is my purpose. So they gave ear to the word of the Lord, and went back, as the Lord had said.

bbe@1Kings:12:26 @And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now the kingdom will go back to the family of David:

bbe@1Kings:12:28 @So after taking thought the king made two oxen of gold; and he said to the people, You have been going up to Jerusalem long enough; see! these are your gods, O Israel, who took you out of the land of Egypt.

bbe@1Kings: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:13:4 @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:13:6 @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:13:8 @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:13:9 @For so I was ordered by the word of the Lord, who said, You are not to take food or a drink of water, and you are not to go back the way you came.

bbe@1Kings:13:10 @So he went another way, and not by the way he came to Beth-el.

bbe@1Kings:13:11 @Now there was an old prophet living in Beth-el; and one of his sons came and gave him word of all the man of God had done that day in Beth-el, and they gave their father an account of the words he had said to the king.

bbe@1Kings:13:12 @Then their father said to them, Which way did he go? Now his sons had seen which way the man of God who came from Judah had gone.

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:13:17 @For the Lord said to me, You are not to take food or water there, or go back again by the way you came.

bbe@1Kings:13:21 @And crying out to the man of God who came from Judah, he said, The Lord says, Because you have gone against the voice of the Lord, and have not done as you were ordered by the Lord,

bbe@1Kings:13:22 @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:13:23 @Now after the meal he made ready the ass for him, for the prophet whom he had taken back.

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:13:33 @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:14:2 @And Jeroboam said to his wife, Now come, put on different clothing so that you may not seem to be the wife of Jeroboam, and go to Shiloh; see, Ahijah is there, the prophet who said I would be king over this people.

bbe@1Kings:14:4 @So Jeroboam's wife did so, and got up and went to Shiloh and came to the house of Ahijah. Now Ahijah was unable to see, because he was very old.

bbe@1Kings:14:5 @And the Lord had said to Ahijah, The wife of Jeroboam is coming to get news from you about her son, who is ill; give her such and such an answer; for she will make herself seem to be another woman.

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:14:15 @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:14:19 @Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he made war and how he became king, are recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel.

bbe@1Kings:14:25 @Now in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem;

bbe@1Kings:14:29 @Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?

bbe@1Kings:15:1 @Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, Abijam became king over Judah.

bbe@1Kings:15:3 @And he did the same sins which his father had done before him: his heart was not completely true to the Lord his God, like the heart of David his father.

bbe@1Kings:15:7 @Now the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.

bbe@1Kings:15:13 @And he would not let Maacah his mother be queen, because she had made a disgusting image for Asherah; and Asa had the image cut down and burned by the stream Kidron.

bbe@1Kings:15:14 @The high places, however, were not taken away: but still the heart of Asa was true to the Lord all his life.

bbe@1Kings:15:16 @Now there was war between Asa and Baasha, king of Israel, all their days.

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:15:31 @Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?

bbe@1Kings:16:9 @And his servant Zimri, captain of half his war-carriages, made secret designs against him: now he was in Tirzah, drinking hard in the house of Arza, controller of the king's house in Tirzah.

bbe@1Kings:16:11 @And straight away when he became king and took his place on the seat of the kingdom, he put to death all the family of Baasha: not one male child of his relations or his friends kept his life.

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:17:7 @Now after a time the stream became dry, because there was no rain in the land.

bbe@1Kings:17:9 @Up! go now to Zarephath, in Zidon, and make your living-place there; I have given orders to a widow woman there to see that you have food.

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:17:17 @Now after this, the son of the woman of the house became ill, so ill that there was no breath in him.

bbe@1Kings:17:24 @Then the woman said to Elijah, Now I am certain that you are a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in your mouth is true.

bbe@1Kings:18:1 @Now after a long time, the word of the Lord came to Elijah, in the third year, saying, Go and let Ahab see you, so that I may send rain on the earth.

bbe@1Kings:18:2 @So Elijah went to let Ahab see him. Now there was no food to be had in Samaria.

bbe@1Kings:18:3 @And Ahab sent for Obadiah, the controller of the king's house. (Now Obadiah had the fear of the Lord before him greatly;

bbe@1Kings:18:6 @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:18:8 @And Elijah in answer said, It is I; now go and say to your lord, Elijah is here.

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@1Kings:18:11 @And now you say, Go, 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:18:13 @Has my lord not had word of what I did when Jezebel was putting the Lord's prophets to death? how I kept a hundred of them in a secret hole in the rock, fifty at a time, and gave them bread and water?

bbe@1Kings:18:14 @And now you say, Go and say to your Lord, Elijah is here; and he will put me to death.

bbe@1Kings:18:18 @Then he said in answer, I have not been troubling Israel, but you and your family; because, turning away from the orders of the Lord, you have gone after the Baals.

bbe@1Kings:18:19 @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:18:21 @And Elijah came near to all the people and said, How long will you go on balancing between two opinions? if the Lord is God, then give worship to him; but if Baal, give worship to him. And the people said not a word in answer.

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:18:25 @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:18:29 @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:18:40 @And Elijah said to them, Take the prophets of Baal, let not one of them get away. So they took them, and Elijah made them go down to the stream Kishon, and put them to death there.

bbe@1Kings:18:43 @And he said to his servant, Go now, and take a look in the direction of the sea. And he went up, and after looking said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times; and he went seven times.

bbe@1Kings:19:2 @Then Jezebel sent a servant to Elijah, saying, May the gods' punishment be on me if I do not make your life like the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.

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:19:11 @Then he said, Go out and take your place on the mountain before the Lord. Then the Lord went by, and mountains were parted by the force of a great wind, and rocks were broken before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind. And after the wind there was an earth-shock, but the Lord was not in the earth-shock.

bbe@1Kings:19:12 @And after the earth-shock a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire, the sound of a soft breath.

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:19:18 @But I will keep safe seven thousand in Israel, all those whose knees have not been bent to Baal, and whose mouths have given him no kisses.

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:20:7 @Then the king of Israel sent for all the responsible men of the land, and said, Now will you take note and see the evil purpose of this man: he sent for my wives and my children, my silver and my gold, and I did not keep them back.

bbe@1Kings:20:8 @And all the responsible men and the people said to him, Do not give attention to him or do what he says.

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:20:10 @Then Ben-hadad sent to him, saying, May the gods' punishment be on me if there is enough of the dust of Samaria for all the people at my feet to take some in their hands.

bbe@1Kings:20:11 @And the king of Israel said in answer, Say to him, The time for loud talk is not when a man is putting on his arms, but when he is taking them off.

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:20:22 @Then the prophet came up to the king of Israel, and said to him, Now make yourself strong, and take care what you do, or a year from now the king of Aram will come up against you again.

bbe@1Kings:20:25 @And get together another army like the one which came to destruction, horse for horse, and carriage for carriage; and let us make war on them in the lowlands, and certainly we will be stronger than they. And he gave ear to what they said, and did so.

bbe@1Kings:20:28 @And a man of God came up and said to the king of Israel, The Lord says, Because the Aramaeans have said, The Lord is a god of the hills and not of the valleys; I will give all this great army into your hands, and you will see that I am the Lord.

bbe@1Kings:20:29 @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:20:32 @So they put on haircloth, and cords on their heads, and came to the king of Israel and said, Your servant Ben-hadad says, Let me now keep my life. And he said, Is he still living? he is my brother.

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:20:35 @And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his neighbour by the word of the Lord, Give me a wound. But the man would not.

bbe@1Kings:20:36 @Then he said to him, Because you have not given ear to the voice of the Lord, straight away when you have gone from me a lion will put you to death. And when he had gone, straight away a lion came rushing at him and put him to death.

bbe@1Kings:20:37 @Then he came across another man, and said, Give me a wound. And the man gave him a blow wounding him.

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:21:1 @Now Naboth the Jezreelite had a vine-garden in Jezreel, near the house of Ahab, king of Samaria.

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:21:10 @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:21:13 @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:21:25 @(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:21:29 @Do you see how Ahab has made himself low before me? because he has made himself low before me, I will not send the evil in his life-time, but in his son's time I will send the evil on his family.

bbe@1Kings:22:1 @Now for three years there was no war between Aram and 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:22:5 @Then Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Let us now get directions from the Lord.

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:22:7 @But Jehoshaphat said, Is there no other prophet of the Lord here from whom we may get directions?

bbe@1Kings:22:8 @And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, There is still one man by whom we may get directions from the Lord, Micaiah, son of Imlah; but I have no love for him, for he is a prophet of evil to me and not of good. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.

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:22:13 @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:22:16 @Then the king said to him, Have I not, again and again, put you on your oath to say nothing to me but what is true in the name of the Lord?

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:22:18 @And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not say that he would not be a prophet of good but of evil?

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:22:20 @And the Lord said, How may Ahab be tricked into going up to Ramoth-gilead to his death? And one said one thing and one another.

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:22:28 @And Micaiah said, If you come back at all in peace, the Lord has not sent his word by me.

bbe@1Kings:22:30 @And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, I will make a change in my clothing, so that I do not seem to be the king, and will go into the fight; but do you put on your robes. So the king of Israel made a change in his dress and went into the fight.

bbe@1Kings:22:31 @Now the king of Aram had given orders to the thirty-two captains of his war-carriages, saying, Make no attack on small or great, but only on the king of Israel.

bbe@1Kings:22:33 @And when the captains of the war-carriages saw that he was not the king of Israel, they went back from going after him.

bbe@1Kings:22:39 @Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all he did, and his ivory house, and all the towns of which he was the builder, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?

bbe@1Kings:22:43 @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:22:44 @but the high places were not taken away: the people went on making offerings and burning them in the high places.

bbe@1Kings:22:46 @Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his great power, and how he went to war, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?

bbe@1Kings:22:48 @At that time there was no king in Edom;

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@2Kings:1:2 @Now Ahaziah had a fall from the window of his room in Samaria, and was ill. And he sent men, and said to them, Put a question to Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, about the outcome of my disease, to see if I will get well or not.

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:1:11 @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:1:14 @For fire came down from heaven and put an end to the first two captains of fifty and their fifties; but now let my life be of value in your eyes.

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:1:17 @So death came to him, as the Lord had said by the mouth of Elijah. And Jehoram became king in his place in the second year of the rule of Jehoram, son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah; because he had no son.

bbe@2Kings:1:18 @Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?

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:2:2 @And Elijah said to Elisha, Come no farther for the Lord has sent me to Beth-el. But Elisha said, As the Lord is living and as your soul is living, I will not be parted from you. So they went down to Beth-el.

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:2:4 @Then Elijah said to him, Come no farther, for the Lord has sent me to Jericho. But he said, As the Lord is living and as your soul is living, I will not be parted from you. So they went on to Jericho.

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:2:6 @Then Elijah said to him, Come no farther, for the Lord has sent me to Jordan. But he said, As the Lord is living and as your soul is living, I will not be parted from you. So they went on together.

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:2:11 @And while they went on their way, going on talking together, suddenly there were carriages and horses of fire separating them from one another and Elijah went up to heaven in a great wind.

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:2:16 @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:2:18 @And they came back to him, while he was still at Jericho; and he said to them, Did I not say to you, Go not?

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:2:21 @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:3:2 @He did evil in the eyes of the Lord; but not like his father and his mother, for he put away the stone pillar of Baal which his father had made.

bbe@2Kings:3:4 @Now Mesha, king of Moab, was a sheep-farmer; and he gave regularly to the king of Israel the wool from a hundred thousand lambs and a hundred thousand sheep.

bbe@2Kings:3:9 @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:3:11 @But Jehoshaphat said, Is there no prophet of the Lord here, through whom we may get directions from the Lord? And one of the king of Israel's men said in answer, Elisha, the son of Shaphat, is here, who was servant to Elijah.

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:3:17 @For the Lord says, Though you see no wind or rain, the valley will be full of water, and you and your armies and your beasts will have drink.

bbe@2Kings:3:20 @Now in the morning, about the time when the offering was made, they saw water flowing from the direction of Edom till the country was full of water.

bbe@2Kings:3:21 @Now all Moab, hearing that the kings had come to make war against them, got together all who were able to take up arms and went forward to the edge of the country.

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:3:26 @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:4:2 @Then Elisha said to her, What am I to do for you? say now, what have you in the house? And she said, Your servant has nothing in the house but a pot of oil.

bbe@2Kings:4:6 @And when all the vessels were full, she said to her son, Get me another vessel. And he said, There are no more. And the flow of oil was stopped.

bbe@2Kings:4:8 @Now there came a day when Elisha went to Shunem, and there was a woman of high position living there, who made him come in and have a meal with her. And after that, every time he went by, he went into her house for a meal.

bbe@2Kings:4:9 @And she said to her husband, Now I see that this is a holy man of God, who comes by day after day.

bbe@2Kings:4:11 @Now one day, when he had gone there, he went into the little room and took his rest there.

bbe@2Kings:4:13 @And he said to him, Now say to her, See, you have taken all this trouble for us; what is to be done for you? will you have any request made for you to the king or the captain of the army? But she said, I am living among my people.

bbe@2Kings:4:14 @So he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi made answer, Still there is this, she has no son and her husband is old.

bbe@2Kings:4:16 @And Elisha said, At this time in the coming year you will have a son in your arms. And she said, No, my lord, O man of God, do not say what is false to your servant.

bbe@2Kings:4:18 @Now one day, when the child was older, he went out to his father to where the grain was being cut.

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:4:27 @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:4:28 @Then she said, Did I make a request to my lord for a son? did I not say, Do not give me false words?

bbe@2Kings:4:29 @Then he said to Gehazi, Make yourself ready, and take my stick in your hand, and go: if you come across anyone on the way, give him no blessing, and if anyone gives you a blessing, give him no answer. And put my stick on the child's face.

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:4:31 @And Gehazi went on before them and put the stick on the child's face; but there was no voice, and no one gave attention. So he went back, and meeting him gave him the news, saying, The child is not awake.

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:4:40 @Then they gave the men soup from the pot. And while they were drinking the soup, they gave a cry, and said, O man of God, there is death in the pot; and they were not able to take any more food.

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:4:44 @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:5:7 @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:5:8 @Now Elisha, the man of God, hearing that the king of Israel had done this, sent to the king, saying, Why are you troubled? send the man to me, so that he may see that there is a prophet in Israel.

bbe@2Kings:5:12 @Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not be washed in them and become clean? So turning, he went away in wrath

bbe@2Kings:5:13 @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:5:15 @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:5:17 @Then Naaman said, If you will not, then let there be given to your servant as much earth as two beasts are able to take on their backs; because from now on, your servant will make no offering or burned offering to other gods, but only to the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:5:20 @But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha, the man of God, said, Now my master has taken nothing from Naaman, this Aramaean, of what he would have given him: by the living Lord, I will go after him and get something from him.

bbe@2Kings:5:22 @And he said, All is well: but my master has sent me, saying, Even now, two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to me from the hill-country of Ephraim; will you give me a talent of silver and two changes of clothing for them?

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:5:25 @Then he came in and took his place before his master. And Elisha said to him, Where have you come from, Gehazi? And he said, Your servant went nowhere.

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:6:1 @Now the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, There is not room enough for us in the place where we are living under your care;

bbe@2Kings:6:5 @But one of them, while cutting a board, let the head of his axe go into the water; and he gave a cry, and said, This is a bad business, my master, for it is another's.

bbe@2Kings:6:11 @And at this, the mind of the king of Aram was greatly troubled, and he sent for his servants and said to them, Will you not make clear to me which of us is helping the king of Israel?

bbe@2Kings:6:12 @And one of them said, Not one of us, my lord king; but Elisha, the prophet in Israel, gives the king of Israel news of the words you say even in your bedroom.

bbe@2Kings:6:15 @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:6:18 @Now when the Aramaeans came down to Elisha, he made a prayer to the Lord saying, Lord, make this people blind. And he made them blind at Elisha's request.

bbe@2Kings:6:19 @And Elisha said to them, This is not the way, and this is not the town: come after me so that I may take you to the man you are searching for. And he took them to Samaria.

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:6:23 @So he made ready a great feast for them, and when they had had food and drink, he sent them away and they went back to their master. And no more bands of Aramaeans came into the land of Israel.

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:6:27 @And he said, If the Lord does not give you help, where am I to get help for you? from the grain-floor or the grape-crusher?

bbe@2Kings:6:29 @So, boiling my son, we had a meal of him; and on the day after I said to her, Now give your son for our food; but she has put her son in a secret place.

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:7:5 @So in the half light they got up to go to the tents of Aram; but when they came to the outer line of tents, there was no one there.

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:7:8 @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:7:10 @So they came in, and, crying out to the door-keepers of the town, they gave them the news, saying, We came to the tents of the Aramaeans, and there was no one there and no voice of man, only the horses and the asses in their places, and the tents as they were.

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:7:19 @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:8:4 @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:8:6 @And in answer to the king's questions, the woman gave him all the story. So the king gave orders to one of his unsexed servants, saying, Give her back all her property, and all the produce of her fields from the day when she went away from the land up till now.

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:8:23 @Now the rest of the acts of Joram, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?

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:9:11 @Then Jehu came out again to the servants of his lord, and one said to him, Is all well? why did this man, who is off his head, come to you? And he said to them, You have knowledge of the man and of his talk.

bbe@2Kings:9:12 @And they said, That is not true; now give us his story. Then he said, This is what he said to me: The Lord says, I have made you king over Israel.

bbe@2Kings:9:14 @So Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, made designs against Joram. (Now Joram and all the army of Israel were keeping watch on Ramoth-gilead because of Hazael, king of Aram:

bbe@2Kings:9:15 @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:9:18 @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:9:20 @And the watchman gave them word, saying, He went up to them and has not come back again; and the driving is like the driving of Jehu, son of Nimshi, for he is driving violently

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:9:25 @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:9:26 @I saw the blood of Naboth and of his sons yesterday; and I will give you full payment in this field, says the Lord? So now, take him and put him in this field, as the Lord said.

bbe@2Kings:9:27 @Now when Ahaziah, king of Judah, saw this, he went in flight by the way of the garden house. And Jehu came after him and said, Put him to death in the same way; and they gave him a death-wound in his carriage, on the slope up to Gur, by Ibleam; and he went in flight to Megiddo, where death came to him.

bbe@2Kings:9:34 @And he came in, and took food and drink; then he said, Now see to this cursed woman, and put her body into the earth, for she is a king's daughter.

bbe@2Kings:9:35 @And they went out to put her body into the earth, but nothing of her was to be seen, only the bones of her head, and her feet, and parts of her hands.

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:10:1 @Now there were in Samaria seventy of Ahab's sons. And Jehu sent letters to Samaria, to the rulers of the town, and to the responsible men, and to those who had the care of the sons of Ahab, saying,

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:10:10 @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:10:11 @So Jehu put to death all the rest of the seed of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his relations and his near friends and his priests, till there were no more of them.

bbe@2Kings:10:17 @And when he came to Samaria, he put to death all those of Ahab's family who were still in Samaria, till there were no more of them, as the Lord had said to Elijah.

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:10:24 @Then they went in to make offerings and burned offerings. Now Jehu had put eighty men outside, and said to them, If any man whom I give into your hands gets away, the life of him who lets him go will be the price of his life.

bbe@2Kings:10:25 @Then when the burned offering was ended, straight away Jehu said to the armed men and the captains, Go in and put them to death; let not one come out. So they put them to the sword; and, pulling the images to the earth, they went into the holy place of the house of Baal.

bbe@2Kings:10:29 @But Jehu did not keep himself from all the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and the evil he made Israel do; the gold oxen were still in Beth-el and in Dan.

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:10:33 @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:10:34 @Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all he did, and his great power, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?

bbe@2Kings:11:1 @Now when Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, saw that her son was dead, she had all the rest of the seed of the kingdom put to death.

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:11:13 @Now Athaliah, hearing the noise made by the people, came to the people in the house of the Lord;

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:12:3 @But the high places were not taken away; the people went on making offerings and burning them in the high places.

bbe@2Kings:12:6 @But in the twenty-third year of King Jehoash, the priests had not made good the damaged parts of the house.

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:12:8 @So the priests made an agreement to take no more money from the people, and not to make good what was damaged in the house.

bbe@2Kings:12:10 @And when they saw that there was much money in the chest, the king's scribe and the high priest came and put it in bags, noting the amount of all the money there was in the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:12:13 @But the money was not used for making silver cups or scissors or basins or wind-instruments or any vessels of gold or silver for the house of the Lord;

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:13:2 @He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, copying the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, which he did and made Israel do; he did not keep himself from them.

bbe@2Kings:13:6 @But still they did not give up the sin of Jeroboam, which he made Israel do, but went on with it; and there was an image of Asherah in Samaria.)

bbe@2Kings:13:14 @Now Elisha became ill with the disease which was the cause of his death: and Joash, king of Israel, came down to him, and weeping over him said, My father, my father, the war-carriages of Israel and its horsemen!

bbe@2Kings:13:18 @And he said, Take the arrows: and he took them. And he said to the king of Israel, Send them down into the earth; and he did so three times and no more.

bbe@2Kings:13:20 @And death came to Elisha and they put his body into the earth. Now in the spring of the year, armed bands of Moabites frequently came, overrunning the land.

bbe@2Kings:13:23 @But the Lord was kind to them and had pity on them, caring for them, because of his agreement with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; he would not put them to destruction or send them away from before his face till now.

bbe@2Kings:14:4 @But still the high places were not taken away; the people went on making offerings and burning them in the high places.

bbe@2Kings:14:5 @Now when he became strong in the kingdom, straight away he put to death those servants who had taken the life of the king his father;

bbe@2Kings:14:9 @And Jehoash, king of Israel, sent to Amaziah, king of Judah, saying, The thorn-tree in Lebanon sent to the cedar in Lebanon, saying, Give your daughter to my son for a wife: and a beast from the woodland in Lebanon went by, crushing the thorn under his feet.

bbe@2Kings:16:19 @Now the rest of the things which Ahaz did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?

bbe@2Kings:17:2 @He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, though not like the kings of Israel before him.

bbe@2Kings:17:4 @But Hoshea's broken faith became clear to the king of Assyria because he had sent representatives to So, king of Egypt, and did not send his offering to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year: so the king of Assyria had him shut up in prison and put in chains.

bbe@2Kings:17:9 @And the children of Israel did secretly against the Lord their God things which were not right, building high places for themselves in all their towns, from the tower of the watchmen to the walled town.

bbe@2Kings:17:12 @And they made themselves servants of disgusting things, though the Lord had said, You are not to do this.

bbe@2Kings:17:14 @And they did not give ear, but became stiff-necked, like their fathers who had no faith in the Lord their God.

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

bbe@2Kings:17:19 @(But even Judah did not keep the orders of the Lord their God, but were guided by the rules which Israel had made.

bbe@2Kings:17:20 @So the Lord would have nothing to do with all the offspring of Israel, and sent trouble on them, and gave them up into the hands of their attackers, till he had sent them away from before his face.)

bbe@2Kings:17:22 @And the children of Israel went on with all the sins which Jeroboam did; they did not keep themselves from them;

bbe@2Kings:17:25 @Now when first they were living there they did not give worship to the Lord. So the Lord sent lions among them, causing the death of some of them.

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:17:30 @The men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,

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:17:34 @So to this day they go on in their old ways, not worshipping the Lord or keeping his orders or his ways or the law and the rule which the Lord gave to the children of Jacob, to whom he gave the name Israel;

bbe@2Kings:17:35 @And the Lord made an agreement with them and gave them orders, saying, You are to have no other gods; you are not to give worship to them or be their servants or make them offerings:

bbe@2Kings:17:37 @And the rules and the orders and the law which he put in writing for you, you are to keep and do for ever; you are to have no other gods.

bbe@2Kings:17:38 @And you are to keep in memory the agreement which I have made with you; and you are to have no other gods.

bbe@2Kings:17:40 @But they gave no attention, but went on in their old way.

bbe@2Kings:18:1 @Now in the third year of Hoshea, son of Elah, king of Israel, Hezekiah, the son of Ahaz, became king of Judah.

bbe@2Kings:18:5 @He had faith in the Lord, the God of Israel; so that there was no one like him among all the kings of Judah who were before him.

bbe@2Kings:18:6 @For his heart was fixed on the Lord, not turning from his ways, and he did his orders which the Lord gave to Moses.

bbe@2Kings:18:7 @And the Lord was with him; he did well in all his undertakings: and he took up arms against the king of Assyria and was his servant no longer.

bbe@2Kings:18:9 @Now in the fourth year of King Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea, son of Elah, king of Israel, Shalmaneser, king of Assyria, came up against Samaria, shutting it in with his armies.

bbe@2Kings:18:12 @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:18:13 @Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, Sennacherib, king of Assyria, came up against all the walled towns of Judah and took them.

bbe@2Kings:18:19 @And the Rab-shakeh said to them, Say now to Hezekiah, These are the words of the great king, the king of Assyria: In what are you placing your hope?

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:18:29 @This is what the king says: Do not be tricked by Hezekiah, for there is no salvation for you in him.

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:18:32 @Till I come and take you away to a land like yours, a land of grain and wine, a land of bread and vine-gardens, a land of oil-giving olives and of honey, so that life and not death may be your fate. Give no attention to Hezekiah when he says to you, The Lord will keep us safe.

bbe@2Kings:18:36 @But the people kept quiet and gave him no answer: for the king's order was, Give him no answer.

bbe@2Kings:19:3 @And they said to him, Hezekiah says, This day is a day of trouble and punishment and shame; for the children are ready to come to birth, but there is no strength to give birth to them.

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:19:6 @And Isaiah said to them, This is what you are to say to your master: The Lord says, Be not troubled by the words which the servants of the king of Assyria have said against me in your hearing.

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:19:11 @No doubt the story has come to your ears of what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, putting them to the curse; and will you be kept safe?

bbe@2Kings:19:16 @Let your ear be turned to us, O Lord, and let your eyes be open, O Lord, and see; take note of all the words of Sennacherib who has sent men to say evil against the living God.

bbe@2Kings:19:18 @And have given their gods to the fire; for they were no gods, but wood and stone, the work of men's hands; so they have given them to destruction.

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:19:23 @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:19:25 @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:19:26 @This is why their townsmen had no power, they were broken and put to shame; they were like the grass of the field and the green plant, like grass on the house-tops.

bbe@2Kings:19:27 @But I have knowledge of your getting up and your resting, of your going out and your coming in.

bbe@2Kings:19:28 @Because your wrath against me and your words of pride have come up to my ears, I will put my hook in your nose and my cord in your lips, and I will make you go back by the way you came.

bbe@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:19:33 @By the way he came he will go back, and he will not get into this town, says the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:19:34 @For I will keep this town safe, for my honour, and for the honour of my servant David.

bbe@2Kings:19:35 @And that night the angel of the Lord went out and put to death in the army of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand men; and when the people got up early in the morning, there was nothing to be seen but dead bodies.

bbe@2Kings:20:4 @Now before Isaiah had gone out of the middle of the town, the word of the Lord came to him, saying,

bbe@2Kings:20:6 @I will give you fifteen more years of life; and I will keep you and this town safe from the hands of the king of Assyria; I will keep this town safe, for my honour, and for the honour of my servant David.

bbe@2Kings:20:13 @And Hezekiah was glad at their coming and let them see all his store of wealth, the silver and the gold and the spices and the oil of great price, and the house of his arms, and everything there was in his stores; there was nothing in all his house or his kingdom which Hezekiah did not let them see.

bbe@2Kings:20:15 @And he said, What have they seen in your house? And Hezekiah said in answer, They saw everything in my house: there is nothing among my stores which I did not let them see.

bbe@2Kings:20:20 @Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his power, and how he made the pool and the stream, to take water into the town, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?

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@2Kings:21:17 @Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all he did, and his sins, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?

bbe@2Kings:21:22 @Turning away from the Lord, the God of his fathers, and not walking in his ways.

bbe@2Kings:21:25 @Now the rest of the acts which Amon did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?

bbe@2Kings:22:3 @Now in the eighteenth year after he became king, Josiah sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of the Lord, saying to him,

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:22:13 @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:22:17 @Because they have given me up, burning offerings to other gods and moving me to wrath by all the work of their hands; so my wrath will be on fire against this place, and will not be put out.

bbe@2Kings:22:20 @For this cause 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. So they took this news back to the king.

bbe@2Kings:23:10 @And Topheth, in the valley of the sons of Hinnom, he made unclean, so that no man might make his son or his daughter go through the fire to Molech.

bbe@2Kings:23:18 @So he said, Let him be; let not his bones be moved

bbe@2Kings:23:22 @Truly, such a Passover had not been kept in all the days of the judges of Israel or of the kings of Israel or the kings of Judah;

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:23:26 @But still the heat of the Lord's wrath was not turned back from Judah, because of all Manasseh had done in moving him to wrath.

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:23:28 @Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?

bbe@2Kings:23:33 @And Pharaoh-necoh put him in chains at Riblah in the land of Hamath, so that he might not be king in Jerusalem; and took from the land a tax of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.

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:24:5 @Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?

bbe@2Kings:24:7 @And the king of Egypt did not come out of his land again, for the king of Babylon had taken all his country, from the stream of Egypt to the river Euphrates.

bbe@2Kings:24:14 @And he took away all the people of Jerusalem and all the chiefs and all the men of war, ten thousand prisoners; and all the expert workmen and the metal-workers; only the poorest sort of the people of the land were not taken away.

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:25:3 @Now on the ninth day of the fourth month, the store of food in the town was almost gone, so that there was no food for the people of the land.

bbe@2Kings:25:4 @So an opening was made in the wall of the town, and all the men of war went in flight by night through the doorway between the two walls which was by the king's garden; (now the Chaldaeans were stationed round the town:) and the king went by the way of the Arabah.

bbe@2Kings:25:8 @Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, a servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem;

bbe@2Kings:25:22 @As for the people who were still living in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, did not take away, he made Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, ruler over them.

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:25:24 @Then Gedaliah gave his oath to them and their men, saying, Have no fear because of the servants of the Chaldaeans; go on living in the land under the rule of the king of Babylon, and all will be well.

bbe@1Chronicles:17:13 @I will be to him a father and he will be to me a son; and I will not take my mercy away from him as I took it from him who was before you;

bbe@1Chronicles:17:16 @Then David the king went in and took his seat before the Lord, and said, Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my family, that you have been my guide till now?

bbe@1Chronicles:17:18 @What more may David say to you? for you have knowledge of your servant.

bbe@1Chronicles:17:20 @O Lord, there is no one like you, and no other God but you, as is clear from everything which has come to our ears.

bbe@1Chronicles:17:23 @And now, Lord, let your words about your servant and about his family be made certain for ever, and do as you have said

bbe@1Chronicles:17:26 @And now, O Lord, you are God, and you have said you will give this good thing to your servant:

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:18:4 @And David took from him a thousand war-carriages and seven thousand horsemen and twenty thousand footmen: and he had the leg-muscles of all the horses cut, keeping only enough of them for a hundred war-carriages.

bbe@1Chronicles:18:9 @Now when Tou, king of Hamath, had news that David had overcome all the army of Hadadezer, king of Zobah,

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:19:10 @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:19:19 @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:20:4 @Now after this there was war with the Philistines at Gezer; then Sibbecai the Hushathite put to death Sippai, one of the offspring of the Rephaim; and they were overcome.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:1 @Now Satan, designing evil against Israel, put into David's mind the impulse to take the number of Israel.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:2 @And David said to Joab and the captains of the people, Now let all Israel, from Beer-sheba to Dan, be numbered; and give me word so that I may be certain of their number.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:3 @And Joab said, May the Lord make his people a hundred times more in number than they are; but, my lord king, are they not all my lord's servants? why would my lord have this done? why will he become a cause of sin to Israel?

bbe@1Chronicles:21:6 @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:21:8 @Then David said to God, Great has been my sin in doing this; but now, be pleased to take away the sin of your servant, for I have done very foolishly.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:12 @Three years when there will not be enough food; or three months of war, when you will go in flight before your haters, being in great danger of the sword; or three days of the sword of the Lord, disease in the land, and the angel of the Lord taking destruction through all the land of Israel. Now give thought to the answer I am to take back to him who sent me.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:13 @And David said to Gad, This is a hard decision for me to make: let me come into the hands of the Lord, for great are his mercies: let me not come into the hands of men.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:15 @And God sent an angel to Jerusalem for its destruction: and when he was about to do so, the Lord saw, and had regret for the evil, and said to the angel of destruction, It is enough; do no more. Now the angel of the Lord was by the grain-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:17 @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:21:20 @And Ornan, turning back, saw the angel, and his four sons who were with him went to a secret place. Now Ornan was crushing his grain.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:24 @And King David said to Ornan, No; I will certainly give you the full price for it, because I will not take for the Lord what is yours, or give a burned offering without payment.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:30 @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:22:8 @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:22:12 @Only may the Lord give you wisdom, and knowledge of his orders for Israel, so that you may keep the law of the Lord your God.

bbe@1Chronicles:22:13 @And all will go well for you, if you take care to keep the laws and the rules which the Lord gave to Moses for Israel: be strong and take heart; have no fear and do not be troubled.

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:22:19 @Now give your heart and soul to the worship of the Lord your God; and get to work on the building of the holy place of the Lord God, so that you may put the ark of the Lord's agreement and the holy vessels of God in the house which is to be made for the name of the Lord.

bbe@1Chronicles:23:1 @Now David was old and full of days; and he made his son Solomon king over Israel.

bbe@1Chronicles:23:17 @And the sons of Eliezer: Rehabiah the first; and Eliezer had no other sons, but Rehabiah had a great number.

bbe@1Chronicles:23:22 @And at his death Eleazar had no sons, but only daughters, and their relations, the sons of Kish, took them as wives.

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:24:5 @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:24:7 @Now the first name to come out was that of Jehoiarib; the second Jedaiah,

bbe@1Chronicles:24:28 @Of Mahli: Eleazar, who had no sons.

bbe@1Chronicles:25:9 @Now of the group of Asaph, the first name to come out was Joseph; the second Gedaliah; he and his brothers and sons were twelve?

bbe@1Chronicles:26:10 @And Hosah, a son of the children of Merari, had sons: Shimri the chief (for though he was not the oldest, his father made him chief);

bbe@1Chronicles:26:14 @And the care of the door on the east came out for Shelemiah. Then the name of Zechariah his son, a man wise in discussion, came out, and the door on the north was given to him.

bbe@1Chronicles:26:17 @On the east were six Levites a day, and on the north and the south four a day, and for the store-house two and two.

bbe@1Chronicles:27:1 @Now the number of the children of Israel, that is, the heads of families, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and the men in authority who were servants of the king in anything to do with the divisions which came in and went out month by month through all the months of the year, in every division were twenty-four thousand.

bbe@1Chronicles:27:23 @But David did not take the number of those who were under twenty years old, for the Lord had said that he would make Israel like the stars of heaven in number.

bbe@1Chronicles:27:24 @The numbering was started by Joab, the son of Zeruiah, but he did not go on to the end; and because of it, wrath came on Israel and the number was not recorded in the history of King David.

bbe@1Chronicles:27:30 @Obil the Ishmaelite had control of the camels and Jehdeiah the Meronothite of the she-asses;

bbe@1Chronicles:27:32 @Now Jonathan, David's father's brother, expert in discussion, and a man of good sense, was a scribe; and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni, had the care of the king's sons;

bbe@1Chronicles:28:3 @But God said to me, You are not to be the builder of a house for my name, because you are a man of war and have taken life;

bbe@1Chronicles:28:8 @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:28:17 @Clear gold for the meat-hooks and the basins and the cups; for the gold basins, gold enough by weight for every basin; and silver by weight for every silver basin;

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:29:1 @And David the king said to all the people, Solomon my son, the only one who has been marked out by God, is still young and untested, and the work is great, for this great house is not for man, but for the Lord God.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:2 @Now as far as I am able, I have made ready what is needed for the house of my God; the gold for the things of gold, and the silver for the silver things, and the brass for the brass things, iron for the things of iron, and wood for the things of wood; beryls and jewels to be framed, and stones of different colours for ornament; all sorts of stones of great price, and polished building-stone, as much as is needed and more.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:11 @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:29:13 @So now, our God, we give you praise, honouring the glory of your name.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:15 @For we, as all our fathers were, are like men from a strange country before you, who have got a place for a time in the land; our days on the earth are like a shade, and there is no hope of going on.

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:29:25 @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:29:26 @Now David, the son of Jesse, was king over all Israel.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:28 @And he came to his end after a long life, full of days and great wealth and honour; and Solomon his son became king in his place.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:29 @Now all the acts of David, first and last, are recorded in the words of Samuel the seer, and the words of Nathan the prophet, and the words of Gad the seer;

bbe@2Chronicles:1:9 @Now, O Lord God, let your word to David my father come true; for you have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in number.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:10 @Give me now wisdom and knowledge, so that I may go out and come in before this people: for who is able to be the judge of this great people of yours?

bbe@2Chronicles:1:11 @And God said to Solomon, Because this was in your heart, and you did not make request for money, property, or honour, or for the destruction of your haters, or for long life; but you have made request for wisdom and knowledge for yourself, so that you may be the judge of my people over whom I have made you king:

bbe@2Chronicles:1:12 @Wisdom and knowledge are given to you; and I will give you wealth and honour, such as no king has had before you or ever will have after you.

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:2:13 @And now I am sending you a wise and expert man, Huram who is as my father,

bbe@2Chronicles:2:15 @So now let my lord send to his servants the grain and the oil and the wine as my lord has said;

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: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:4:18 @So Solomon made all these vessels, a very great store of them, and the weight of the brass used was not measured.

bbe@2Chronicles:5:9 @The rods were so long that their ends were seen from the holy place before the inmost room; but they were not seen from outside; and there they are to this day.

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:5:11 @Now when the priests had come out of the holy place, (for all the priests who were present had made themselves holy, not keeping to their divisions;

bbe@2Chronicles:5:14 @So that the priests were not able to keep their places to do their work because of the cloud; for the house of God was full of the glory of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:1 @Then Solomon said, O Lord, to the sun you have given the heaven for a living-place, but your living-place was not seen by men,

bbe@2Chronicles:6:5 @From the day when I took my people out of the land of Egypt, no town in all the tribes of Israel has been marked out by me for the building of a house for the resting-place of my name; and I took no man to be a ruler over my people Israel;

bbe@2Chronicles:6:6 @But now I have made selection of Jerusalem, that my name might be there, and of David, to be over my people Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:7 @Now it was in the heart of my father David to put up a house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:9 @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:6:14 @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:6:16 @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:6:17 @So now, O Lord, the God of Israel, make your word come true which you said to your servant David.

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:6:23 @Then let your ear be open in heaven, and be the judge of your servants, giving punishment to the wrongdoer, so that his sin may come on his head; and, by your decision, keeping from evil him who has done no wrong.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:24 @And if your people Israel are overcome in war, because of their sin against you; if they are turned to you again, honouring your name, making prayers and requesting your grace in this house:

bbe@2Chronicles:6:26 @When heaven is shut up and there is no rain, because of their sin against you: if they make prayers with their faces turned to this place, honouring your name and turning away from their sin when you send trouble on them:

bbe@2Chronicles:6:28 @If there is no food in the land, if there is disease, if the fruits of the earth are damaged by heat or water, locust or worm; if their towns are shut in by their attackers: whatever trouble or whatever disease there may be:

bbe@2Chronicles:6:30 @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:6:32 @And as for the man from a strange land, who is not of your people Israel but comes from a far country because of the glory of your name and your strong hand and your outstretched arm; when he comes to make his prayer, turning to this house:

bbe@2Chronicles:6:33 @Then give ear from heaven your living-place, and give him his desire, whatever it may be; so that all the peoples of the earth may have knowledge of your name, worshipping you as do your people Israel, and may see that this house which I have made is truly named by your name.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:36 @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:6:40 @Now, O my God, may your eyes be open and your ears awake to the prayers made in this place.

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:7:1 @Now when Solomon's prayers were ended, fire came down from heaven, burning up all the offerings; and the house was full of the glory of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:2 @And the priests were not able to go into the house of the Lord, for the Lord's house was full of the glory of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:7 @Then Solomon made holy the middle of the open square in front of the house of the Lord, offering the burned offerings there, and the fat of the peace-offerings; for there was not room on the brass altar which Solomon had made for all the burned offerings and the meal offerings and the fat.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:12 @Now the Lord came to Solomon in a vision by night, and said to him, I have given ear to your prayer, and have taken this place for myself as a house where offerings are to be made.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:13 @If, at my word, heaven is shut up, so that there is no rain, or if I send locusts on the land for its destruction, or if I send disease on my people;

bbe@2Chronicles:7:15 @Now my eyes will be open and my ears awake to the prayers made in this place.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:19 @But if you are turned away from me, and do not keep my orders and my laws which I have put before you, but go and make yourselves servants to other gods, giving them worship:

bbe@2Chronicles:8:1 @Now at the end of twenty years, in which time Solomon had put up the house of the Lord and a house for himself,

bbe@2Chronicles:8:6 @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:8:8 @Their men who were still living in the land, and whom the children of Israel had not put an end to, these Solomon put to forced work, as is done to this day;

bbe@2Chronicles:8:9 @But Solomon did not make use of the children of Israel as servants for his work; they were men of war, his chiefs and his captains, and captains of his war-carriages and his horsemen.

bbe@2Chronicles:8:10 @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:8:11 @Then Solomon made Pharaoh's daughter come up from the town of David to the house which he had made for her; for he said, I will not have my wife living in the house of David, king of Israel, because those places where the ark of the Lord has come are holy.

bbe@2Chronicles: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:9:2 @And Solomon gave her answers to all her questions; there was no secret which he did not make clear to her.

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:9:13 @Now the weight of gold which came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents;

bbe@2Chronicles:9:16 @And he made three hundred smaller body-covers of hammered gold, using three hundred shekels of gold for every cover, and the king put them in the house of the Woods of Lebanon.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:19 @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:9:20 @All King Solomon's drinking-vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the Woods of Lebanon were of the best gold: no one gave a thought to silver in the days of Solomon

bbe@2Chronicles:9:29 @Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not recorded in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the words of Ahijah the prophet of Shiloh, and in the visions of Iddo the seer about Jeroboam, the son of Nebat?

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:10:13 @And the king gave them a rough answer. So King Rehoboam gave no attention to the suggestion of the old men,

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:11:4 @The Lord has said, You are not to go to war against your brothers: let every man go back to his house, for this thing is my purpose. So they gave ear to the words of the Lord and were turned back from fighting against Jeroboam.

bbe@2Chronicles:11:5 @Now Rehoboam kept in Jerusalem, building walled towns in Judah.

bbe@2Chronicles:11:14 @For the Levites gave up their living-places and their property, and came to Judah and Jerusalem; for Jeroboam and his sons had sent them away, not letting them be priests to the Lord;

bbe@2Chronicles: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:12:2 @Now in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem, because of their sin against the Lord,

bbe@2Chronicles:12:5 @Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and the chiefs of Judah, who had come together in Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, The Lord has said, Because you have given me up, I have given you up into the hands of Shishak.

bbe@2Chronicles:12:7 @And the Lord, seeing that they had made themselves low, said to Shemaiah, They have made themselves low: I will not send destruction on them, but in a short time I will give them salvation, and will not let loose my wrath on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.

bbe@2Chronicles:12:12 @And when he made himself low, the wrath of the Lord was turned back from him, and complete destruction did not come on him, for there was still some good in Judah.

bbe@2Chronicles:12:14 @And he did evil because his heart was not true to the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:12:15 @Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not recorded in the words of Shemaiah the prophet and Iddo the seer? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days.

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:13:12 @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:13:20 @And Jeroboam did not get back his power again in the life-time of Abijah; and the Lord sent death on him.

bbe@2Chronicles:14:6 @He made walled towns in Judah, for the land was quiet and there were no wars in those years, because the Lord had given him rest.

bbe@2Chronicles:14:10 @And Asa went out against him, and they put their forces in position in the valley north of Mareshah.

bbe@2Chronicles:14:11 @And Asa made prayer to the Lord his God and said, Lord, you only are able to give help against the strong to him who has no strength; come to our help, O Lord our God, for our hope is in you, and in your name we have come out against this great army. O Lord, you are our God; let not man's power be greater than yours.

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:15:3 @Now for a long time Israel has been without the true God, and without a teaching priest and without the law;

bbe@2Chronicles:15:5 @In those times there was no peace for him who went out or for him who came in, but great trouble was on all the people of the lands.

bbe@2Chronicles:15:7 @But be you strong and let not your hands be feeble, for your work will be rewarded.

bbe@2Chronicles:15:13 @And that anyone, small or great, man or woman, who was not true to the Lord, the God of Israel, would be put to death.

bbe@2Chronicles:15:16 @And Asa would not let Maacah, his mother, be queen, because she had made a disgusting image for Asherah; and Asa had her image cut down and broken up and burned by the stream Kidron.

bbe@2Chronicles:15:17 @But the high places were not taken away out of Israel; but still the heart of Asa was true to the Lord all his life.

bbe@2Chronicles:15:19 @And there was no more war till the thirty-fifth year of the rule of Asa

bbe@2Chronicles:16:1 @In the thirty-sixth year of the rule of Asa, Baasha, king of Israel, went up against Judah, building Ramah so that no one was able to go out or in to Asa, king of Judah.

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:16:11 @Now the acts of Asa, first and last, are recorded in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:16:12 @In the thirty-ninth year of his rule, Asa had a very bad disease of the feet; but he did not go to the Lord for help in his disease, but to medical men.

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:17:4 @But turning to the God of his father and keeping his laws, and not doing as Israel did.

bbe@2Chronicles:17:5 @So the Lord made his kingdom strong; and all Judah gave offerings to Jehoshaphat, and he had great wealth and honour.

bbe@2Chronicles:17:10 @And the fear of the Lord was on all the kingdoms of the lands round Judah, so that they made no wars against Jehoshaphat.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:1 @Now Jehoshaphat had great wealth and honour, and his son was married to Ahab's daughter.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:4 @Then Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Let us now get directions from the Lord.

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:18:6 @But Jehoshaphat said, Is there no other prophet of the Lord here from whom we may get directions?

bbe@2Chronicles:18:7 @And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, There is still one man by whom we may get directions from the Lord, but I have no love for him, because he has never been a prophet of good to me, but only of evil: he is Micaiah, the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:9 @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:18:12 @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:18:15 @And the king said to him, Have I not, again and again, put you on your oath to say nothing to me but what is true in the name of the Lord?

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:18:17 @And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not say that he would not be a prophet of good to me, but of evil?

bbe@2Chronicles:18:18 @Then he said, Give ear now to the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord seated on his seat of power, and all the army of heaven in their places, at his right hand and at his left.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:19 @And the Lord said, How may Ahab, king of Israel, be tricked into going up to Ramoth-gilead to his death? And one said one thing and one another.

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:18:27 @And Micaiah said, If you come back at all in peace, the Lord has not sent his word by me.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:29 @And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, I will make a change in my clothing, so that I do not seem to be the king, and will go into the fight; but do you put on your robes. So the king of Israel made a change in his dress, and they went to the fight.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:30 @Now the king of Aram had given orders to the captains of his war-carriages, saying, Make no attack on small or great, but only on the king of Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:32 @Now when the captains of the war-carriages saw that he was not the king of Israel, they went back from going after him.

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:19:10 @And if any cause comes before you from your brothers living in their towns, where the death punishment is in question, or where there are questions of law or order, or rules or decisions, make them take care that they are not in the wrong before the Lord, so that wrath may not come on you and on your brothers; do this and you yourselves will not be in the wrong

bbe@2Chronicles:19:11 @And now, Amariah, the chief priest, is over you in all questions to do with the Lord; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the head of the family of Judah, in everything to do with the king's business; and the Levites will be overseers for you. Be strong to do the work; and may the Lord be with the upright.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:1 @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:20:6 @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: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:20:10 @And now, see, the children of Ammon and Moab and the people of Mount Seir, whom you kept Israel from attacking when they came out of Egypt, so that turning to one side they did not send destruction on them:

bbe@2Chronicles:20:11 @See now, how as our reward they have come to send us out of your land which you have given us as our heritage.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:12 @O our God, will you not be their judge? for our strength is not equal to this great army which is coming against us; and we are at a loss what to do: but our eyes are on you

bbe@2Chronicles:20:15 @And he said, Give ear, O Judah, and you people of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat: the Lord says to you, Have no fear and do not be troubled on account of this great army; for the fight is not yours but God's.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:17 @There will be no need for you to take up arms in this fight; put yourselves in position, and keep where you are, and you will see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: have no fear and do not be troubled: go out against them tomorrow, for the Lord is with you.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:22 @And at the first notes of song and praise the Lord sent a surprise attack against the children of Ammon and Moab and the people of Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were overcome.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:24 @And Judah came to the watchtower of the waste land, and looking in the direction of the army, they saw only dead bodies stretched on the earth; no living man was to be seen.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:32 @He went in the ways of his father Asa, not turning away, but doing right in the eyes of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:33 @The high places, however, were not taken away, and the hearts of the people were still not true to the God of their fathers.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:34 @Now as for the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, they are recorded in the words of Jehu, the son of Hanani, which were put in the book of the kings of Israel.

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:21:4 @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:21:12 @And a letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, The Lord, the God of your father David, says, Because you have not kept to the ways of your father Jehoshaphat or the ways of Asa, king of Judah,

bbe@2Chronicles:21:14 @Now, truly, the Lord will send a great destruction on your people and your children and your wives and everything which is yours:

bbe@2Chronicles:21:17 @And they came up against Judah, forcing a way into it, and took away all the goods in the king's house, as well as his sons and his wives; so that he had no son but only Jehoahaz, the youngest.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:19 @And time went on, and after two years, his inside falling out because of the disease, he came to his death in cruel pain. And his people made no burning for him like the burning made for his fathers.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:20 @He was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for eight years: and at his death he was not regretted; they put his body into the earth in the town of David, but not in the resting-place of the kings.

bbe@2Chronicles:22:7 @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:22:8 @Now when Jehu was effecting the punishment of the family of Ahab, he came to the princes of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah's brothers, the servants of Ahaziah, and put them to death.

bbe@2Chronicles:22:9 @And he went in search of Ahaziah; and when they came where he was, (for he was in a secret place in Samaria,) they took him to Jehu and put him to death; then they put his body to rest in the earth, for they said, He is the son of Jehoshaphat, whose heart was true to the Lord. So the family of Ahaziah had no power to keep the kingdom.

bbe@2Chronicles:22:10 @Now when Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, saw that her son was dead, she had all the rest of the seed of the kingdom of Judah put to death.

bbe@2Chronicles:22:11 @But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, secretly took Joash, the son of Ahaziah, away from among the king's sons who were put to death, and put him and the woman who took care of him in a bedroom. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest and sister of Ahaziah, kept him safe from Athaliah, so that she did not put him to death.

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:23:8 @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:23:12 @Now Athaliah, hearing the noise of the people running and praising the king, came to the people in the house of the Lord:

bbe@2Chronicles:23:14 @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:23:19 @And he put door-keepers at the doors of the Lord's house, to see that no one who was unclean in any way might come in.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:4 @Now after this Joash had a desire to put the house of the Lord into good order again;

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:24:17 @Now after the death of Jehoiada, the chiefs of Judah came and went down on their faces before the king. Then the king gave ear to them.

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:24:22 @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:24:23 @Now in the spring, the army of the Aramaeans came up against him; they came against Judah and Jerusalem, putting to death all the great men of the people and sending all the goods they took from them to the king of Damascus.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:25 @And when they had gone away from him, (for he was broken with disease,) his servants made a secret design against him because of the blood of the son of Jehoiada the priest, and they put him to death on his bed; and they put his body into the earth in the town of David, but not in the resting-place of the kings.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:27 @Now the story of his sons, and all the words said by the prophet against him, and the building up again of the Lord's house, are recorded in the account in the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:2 @He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, but his heart was not completely true to the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:3 @Now when he became strong in the kingdom, he put to death those men who had taken the life of the king his father.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:4 @But he did not put their children to death, for he kept the orders of the Lord recorded in the book of the law of Moses, saying, The fathers are not to be put to death for their children or the children for their fathers, but a man is to be put to death for the sin which he himself has done.

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:25:8 @But go yourself, and be strong in war; God will not let you go down before those who are fighting against you; for God has power to give help or to send you down before your attackers.

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:25:15 @And so the wrath of the Lord was moved against Amaziah, and he sent a prophet to him, who said, Why have you gone after the gods of the people who have not given their people salvation from your hands?

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:25:18 @And Joash, king of Israel, sent to Amaziah, king of Judah, saying, The thorn-tree in Lebanon sent to the cedar in Lebanon, saying, Give your daughter to my son for a wife: and a beast from the woodland in Lebanon went by, crushing the thorn under his feet.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:19 @You say, See, I have overcome Edom; and your heart is lifted up with pride: now keep in your country; why do you make causes of trouble, putting yourself, and Judah with you, in danger of downfall?

bbe@2Chronicles:25:20 @But Amaziah gave no attention; and this was the purpose of God, so that he might give them up into the hands of Joash, because they had gone after the gods of Edom.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:26 @Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, are they not recorded in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel?

bbe@2Chronicles:25:27 @Now from the time when Amaziah gave up worshipping the Lord, they made secret designs against him in Jerusalem; and he went in flight to Lachish: but they sent to Lachish after him and put him to death there.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:15 @And in Jerusalem he made machines, the invention of expert men, to be placed on the towers and angles of the walls for sending arrows and great stones. And his name was honoured far and wide; for he was greatly helped till he was strong.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:18 @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:26:22 @Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, were recorded by Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz.

bbe@2Chronicles:27:2 @He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as his father Uzziah had done; but he did not go into the Temple of the Lord. And the people still went on in their evil ways.

bbe@2Chronicles:27:7 @Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars and his ways, are recorded in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:1 @Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for sixteen years; he did not do what was right in the eyes of the Lord, like David his father:

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

bbe@2Chronicles:28:10 @And now your purpose is to keep the children of Judah and Jerusalem as men-servants and women-servants under your yoke: but are there no sins against the Lord your God to be seen among yourselves?

bbe@2Chronicles:28:11 @And now give ear to me, and send back the prisoners whom you have taken from your brothers: for the wrath of the Lord is burning against you.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:13 @And said to them, You are not to let these prisoners come here; for what you are designing to do will be a cause of sin against the Lord to us, making even greater our sin and our wrongdoing, which now are great enough, and his wrath is burning against Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:20 @Then Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria, came to him, but was a cause of trouble and not of strength to him.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:21 @For Ahaz took a part of the wealth from the house of the Lord, and from the house of the king and of the great men, and gave it to the king of Assyria; but it was no help to him.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:26 @Now the rest of his acts and all his ways, first and last, are recorded in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

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:29:5 @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:29:7 @The doors of his house have been shut and the lights put out; no perfumes have been burned or offerings made to the God of Israel in his holy place.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:10 @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:29:11 @My sons, take care now: for you have been marked out by the Lord to come before him and to be his servants, burning offerings to him.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:19 @And all the vessels which were turned out by King Ahaz in his sin while he was king, we have put in order and made holy, and now they are in their places before the altar of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:31 @Then Hezekiah made answer and said, Now that you have given yourselves to the Lord, come near and take offerings and praise-offerings into the house of the Lord. So all the people took in offerings and praise-offerings: and those whose hearts were moved, took in burned offerings.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:34 @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:30:3 @It was not possible to keep it at that time, because not enough priests had made themselves holy, and the people had not come together in Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:5 @So it was ordered that word was to be sent out through all Israel, from Beer-sheba to Dan, that they were to come to keep the Passover to the Lord, the God of Israel, at Jerusalem: because they had not kept it in great numbers in agreement with the law.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:7 @Do not be like your fathers and your brothers, who were sinners against the Lord, the God of their fathers, so that he made them a cause of fear, as you see.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:8 @Now do not be hard-hearted, as your fathers were; but give yourselves to the Lord, and come into his holy place, which he has made his for ever, and be the servants of the Lord your God, so that the heat of his wrath may be turned away from you.

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:30:17 @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:30:18 @For a great number of the people from Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not made themselves clean, but they took the Passover meal, though not in the right way. For Hezekiah had made prayer for them, saying, May the good Lord have mercy on everyone

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:30:23 @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:30:26 @So there was great joy in Jerusalem: for nothing like this had been seen in Jerusalem from the time of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:1 @Now when all this was over, all the men of Israel who were present went out into the towns of Judah, causing the stone pillars to be broken up and the wood pillars to be cut down, pulling down the high places and the altars in all Judah and Benjamin, as well as in Ephraim and Manasseh, till all were gone. Then all the children of Israel went back to their towns, every man to his property.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:10 @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: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:32:5 @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:32:11 @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:32:13 @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:32:15 @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:32:25 @But Hezekiah did not do as had been done to him; for his heart was lifted up in pride; and so wrath came on him and on Judah and Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:26 @But then, Hezekiah, in sorrow for what he had done, put away his pride; and he and all Jerusalem made themselves low, so that the wrath of the Lord did not come on them in Hezekiah's life-time.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:27 @And Hezekiah had very great wealth and honour; and he made himself store-houses for his gold and silver and jewels and spices, and for body-covers and all sorts of beautiful vessels.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:32 @Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and the good he did, are recorded in the vision of Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, and in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

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:33:10 @And the word of the Lord came to Manasseh and his people, but they gave no attention.

bbe@2Chronicles:33:18 @Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words which the seers said to him in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, are recorded among the acts of the kings of Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:33:23 @He did not make himself low before the Lord, as his father Manasseh had done, but went on sinning more and more.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:8 @Now in the eighteenth year of his rule, when the land and the house had been made clean, he sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah, the ruler of the town, and Joah, the son of Joahaz, the recorder, to make good what was damaged in the house of the Lord his God.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:9 @And they came to Hilkiah, the chief priest, and gave him all the money which had been taken into the house of God, which the Levites, the keepers of the door, had got from Manasseh and Ephraim and those of Israel who had not been taken away as prisoners, and from all Judah and Benjamin and the people of Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:14 @Now when they were taking out the money which had come into the Lord's house, Hilkiah the priest came across the book of the law of the Lord, which he had given by the mouth of Moses.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:21 @Go and get directions from the Lord for me and for those who are still in Israel and for Judah, about the words of this book which has come to light; for great is the wrath of the Lord which has been let loose on us, because our fathers have not kept the word of the Lord or done what is recorded in this book.

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:34:25 @Because they have given me up, burning offerings to other gods and moving me to wrath by all the works of their hands; so my wrath is let loose on this place and will not be put out.

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: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:35:15 @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:35:22 @However, Josiah would not go back; but keeping to his purpose of fighting against him, and giving no attention to the words of Neco, which came from God, he went forward to the fight in the valley of Megiddo.

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:36:8 @Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim and the disgusting things he did, and all there is to be said against him, are recorded in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah; and Jehoiachin his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:12 @He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, and did not make himself low before Jeremiah the prophet who gave him the word of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:16 @But they put shame on the servants of God, making sport of his words and laughing at his prophets, till the wrath of God was moved against his people, till there was no help.

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:36:20 @And all who had not come to death by the sword he took away prisoners to Babylon; and they became servants to him and to his sons till the kingdom of Persia came to power:

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@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:2:1 @Now these are the people of the divisions of the kingdom, among those who had been made prisoners by Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and taken away to Babylon, who went back to Jerusalem and Judah, everyone to his town;

bbe@Ezra:2:33 @The children of Lod, Hadid, and Ono, seven hundred and twenty-five.

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:2:62 @They made search for their record among the lists of families, but their names were nowhere to be seen; so they were looked on as unclean and no longer priests.

bbe@Ezra:2:63 @And the Tirshatha said that they were not to have the most holy things for their food, till a priest came to give decision by Urim and Thummim.

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:3:11 @And they gave praise to the Lord, answering one another in their songs and saying, For he is good, for his mercy to Israel is eternal. And all the people gave a great cry of joy, when they gave praise to the Lord, because the base of the Lord's house was put in place.

bbe@Ezra:4:1 @Now news came to the haters of Judah and Benjamin that the people who had come back were building a Temple to the Lord, the God of Israel;

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:4:10 @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@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:4:18 @And now the sense of the letter which you sent to us has been made clear to me,

bbe@Ezra:4:21 @Give an order now, that these men are to do nothing more, and that the building of the town is to be stopped, till I give an order.

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:5:1 @Now the prophets Haggai and Zechariah, the son of Iddo, were preaching to the Jews in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel.

bbe@Ezra:5:5 @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:5:16 @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:6:6 @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:6:8 @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:7:1 @Now after these things, when Artaxerxes was king of Persia, Ezra, the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah,

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:7:14 @Because you are sent by the king and his seven wise men, to get knowledge about Judah and Jerusalem, as you are ordered by the law of your God which is in your hand;

bbe@Ezra:7:21 @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:7:23 @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:7:25 @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:7:26 @And if anyone does not keep the law of your God and the law of the king, take care that punishment is given to him, by death or by driving him from his country or by taking away his goods or by putting him in prison.

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:8:15 @And I made them come together by the river flowing to Ahava; and we were there in tents for three days: and after viewing the people and the priests I saw that no sons of Levi were there.

bbe@Ezra:8:22 @For I would not, for shame, make request to the king for a band of armed men and horsemen to give us help against those who might make attacks on us on the way: for we had said to the king, The hand of our God is on his servants for good, but his power and his wrath are against all those who are turned away from him.

bbe@Ezra:8:33 @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:9:8 @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:9:10 @And now, O our God, what are we to say after this? for we have not kept your laws,

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:9:15 @O Lord God of Israel, righteousness is yours; we are only a small band which has been kept from death, as at this day: see, we are before you in our sin; for no one may keep his place before you because of this.

bbe@Ezra:10:1 @Now while Ezra was making his prayer and his statement of wrongdoing, weeping and falling down before the house of God, a very great number of men and women and children out of Israel came together round him: for the people were weeping bitterly.

bbe@Ezra:10:3 @Let us now make an agreement with our God to put away all the wives and all their children, if it seems right to my lord and to those who go in fear of the words of our God; and let it be done in keeping with the law.

bbe@Ezra:10:4 @Up, now! for this is your business, and we are with you; take heart and do it.

bbe@Ezra:10:6 @Then Ezra got up from before the house of God and went into the room of Jehohanan, the son of Eliashib; but when he came there, he took no food or drink, for he was sorrowing for the sin of those who had come back.

bbe@Ezra:10:8 @And that if anyone did not come before three days were past, as ordered by the rulers and the responsible men, all his goods would be put under the curse, and he himself would be cut off from the meeting of the people who had come back.

bbe@Ezra:10:11 @So now, give praise to the Lord, the God of your fathers, and do his pleasure; and make yourselves separate from the peoples of the land and from the strange women.

bbe@Ezra:10:13 @But the number of people is great, and it is a time of much rain; it is not possible for us to go on waiting outside, and this is not a thing which may be done in one day or even two: for our sin in this business is great.

bbe@Ezra:10:14 @So now let our rulers be representatives for all the people, and let all those in our towns who are married to strange women come at fixed times, and with them the responsible men and the judges of every town, till the burning wrath of our God is turned away from us, and this has been done.

bbe@Nehemiah:1:1 @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:1:3 @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:1:4 @Then, after hearing these words, for some days I gave myself up to weeping and sorrow, seated on the earth; and taking no food I made prayer to the God of heaven,

bbe@Nehemiah:1:6 @Let your ear now take note and let your eyes be open, so that you may give ear to the prayer of your servant, which I make before you at this time, day and night, for the children of Israel, your servants, while I put before you the sins of the children of Israel, which we have done against you: truly, I and my father's people are sinners.

bbe@Nehemiah:1:7 @We have done great wrong against you, and have not kept the orders, the rules, and the decisions, which you gave to your servant Moses.

bbe@Nehemiah:1:10 @Now these are your servants and your people, whom you have made yours by your great power and by your strong hand.

bbe@Nehemiah:1:11 @O Lord, let your ear take note of the prayer of your servant, and of the prayers of your servants, who take delight in worshipping your name: give help, O Lord, to your servant this day, and let him have mercy in the eyes of this man. (Now I was the king's wine-servant.)

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:2:2 @And the king said to me, Why is your face sad, seeing that you are not ill? this is nothing but sorrow of heart. Then I was full of fear;

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:2:9 @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:2:12 @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:2:14 @Then I went on to the door of the fountain and to the king's pool: but there was no room for my beast to get through.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:16 @And the chiefs had no knowledge of where I had been or what I was doing; and I had not then said anything to the Jews or to the priests or the great ones or the chiefs or the rest of those who were doing the work.

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:2:20 @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:3:5 @Near them, the Tekoites were at work; but their chiefs did not put their necks to the work of their Lord.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:7 @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:3:11 @Malchijah, the son of Harim, and Hasshub, the son of Pahath-moab, were working on another part, and the tower of the ovens.

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:3:19 @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:3:20 @After him Baruch, the son of Zabbai, was hard at work on another part, from the turning of the wall to the door of the house of Eliashib, the chief priest.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:21 @After him Meremoth, the son of Uriah, the son of Hakkoz, was working on another part, from the door of the house of Eliashib as far as the end of his house.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:24 @After him Binnui, the son of Henadad, was working on another part, from the house of Azariah as far as the turning of the wall and the angle.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:26 @(Now the Nethinim were living in the Ophel, as far as the place facing the water doorway to the east, and the tower which comes out.)

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:4:1 @Now, Sanballat, hearing that we were building the wall, was very angry, and in his wrath made sport of the Jews.

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:4:5 @Let not their wrongdoing be covered or their sin washed away from before you: for they have made you angry before the builders.

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:4:14 @And after looking, I got up and said to the great ones and to the chiefs and to the rest of the people, Have no fear of them: keep in mind the Lord who is great and greatly to be feared, and take up arms for your brothers, your sons, and your daughters, your wives and your houses.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:15 @And when it came to the ears of those who were against us, that we had knowledge of their designs and that God had made their purpose come to nothing, we all went back to the wall, everyone to his work

bbe@Nehemiah:4:19 @And I said to the great ones and the chiefs and the rest of the people, The work is great and widely spaced and we are far away from one another on the wall:

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:5:8 @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:5:10 @Even I and my servants have been taking interest for the money and the grain we have let them have. So now, let us give up this thing.

bbe@Nehemiah:5:12 @Then they said, We will give them back, and take nothing for them; we will do as you say

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:5:14 @Now from the time when I was made ruler of the people in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year till the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes the king, for twelve years, I and my servants have never taken the food which was the right of the ruler.

bbe@Nehemiah:5:15 @But earlier rulers who were before me made the people responsible for their upkeep, and took from them bread and wine at the rate of forty shekels of silver; and even their servants were lords over the people: but I did not do so, because of the fear of God.

bbe@Nehemiah:5:16 @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:5:18 @Now the food made ready for one day was one ox and six fat sheep, as well as fowls; and once in ten days a store of all sorts of wine: but all the same, I did not take the food to which the ruler had a right, because the people were crushed under a hard yoke.

bbe@Nehemiah:6:1 @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:6:7 @And that you have prophets preaching about you in Jerusalem, and saying, There is a king in Judah: now an account of these things will be sent to the king. So come now, and let us have a discussion.

bbe@Nehemiah:6:8 @Then I sent to him, saying, No such things as you say are being done, they are only a fiction you have made up yourself.

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:6:14 @Keep in mind, O my God, Tobiah and Sanballat and what they did, and Noadiah, the woman prophet, and the rest of the prophets whose purpose was to put fear into me

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:7:3 @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:7:37 @The children of Lod, Hadid, and Ono, seven hundred and twenty-one.

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:7:64 @They made search for their record among the lists of families, but their names were nowhere to be seen, so they were looked on as unclean and no longer priests.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:65 @And the Tirshatha said that they were not to have the most holy things for their food, till a priest came to give decision by the Urim and Thummim.

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:8:10 @Then he said to them, Go away now, and take the fat for your food and the sweet for your drink, and send some to him for whom nothing is made ready: for this day is holy to our Lord: and let there be no grief in your hearts; for the joy of the Lord is your strong place.

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:8:17 @All the people who had been prisoners and had come back, made tents and were living in them: for from the time of Jeshua, the son of Nun, till that day, the children of Israel had not done so. And there was very great joy.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:1 @Now on the twenty-fourth day of this month the children of Israel came together, taking no food and putting haircloth and dust on their bodies.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:16 @But they and our fathers, in their pride, made their necks stiff, and gave no attention to your orders,

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:9:19 @Even then, in your great mercy, you did not give them up in the waste land: the pillar of cloud still went before them by day, guiding them on their way, and the pillar of fire by night, to give them light, and make clear the way they were to go.

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:9:21 @Truly, for forty years you were their support in the waste land, and they were in need of nothing; their clothing did not get old or their feet become tired.

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:9:29 @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:9:31 @Even then, in your great mercy, you did not put an end to them completely, or give them up; for you are a God of grace and mercy.

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:9:35 @For they have not been your servants in their kingdom, and in all the good things you gave them, and in the great and fat land you gave them, and they have not been turned away from their evil-doing.

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:10:1 @Now those who put down their names were Nehemiah the Tirshatha, the son of Hacaliah, and Zedekiah,

bbe@Nehemiah:10:19 @Hariph, Anathoth, Nobai,

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:10:30 @And that we would not give our daughters to the peoples of the lands, or take their daughters for our sons;

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:10:39 @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:11:17 @And Mattaniah, the son of Mica, the son of Zabdi, the son of Asaph, who had to give the first note of the song of praise in prayer, and Bakbukiah, the second among his brothers, and Abda, the son of Shammua, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun.

bbe@Nehemiah:11:30 @Zanoah, Adullam and their daughter-towns, Lachish and its fields, Azekah and its daughter-towns. So they were living from Beer-sheba to the valley of Hinnom.

bbe@Nehemiah:11:32 @At Anathoth, Nob, Ananiah,

bbe@Nehemiah:11:35 @Lod and Ono, the valley of expert workers.

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:12:9 @And Bakbukiah and Unno, their brothers, were opposite them in their watches.

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:13:2 @Because they did not give the children of Israel bread and water when they came to them, but got Balaam to put a curse on them: though the curse was turned into a blessing by our God.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:4 @Now before this, Eliashib the priest, who had been placed over the rooms of the house of our God, being a friend of Tobiah,

bbe@Nehemiah:13:6 @But all this time I was not at Jerusalem: for in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes, king of Babylon, I went to the king; and after some days, I got the king to let me go,

bbe@Nehemiah:13:10 @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:13:14 @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:13:17 @Then I made protests to the chiefs of Judah, and said to them, What is this evil which you are doing, not keeping the Sabbath day holy?

bbe@Nehemiah:13:18 @Did not your fathers do the same, and did not our God send all this evil on us and on this town? but you are causing more wrath to come on Israel by not keeping the Sabbath holy.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:19 @And so, when the streets of Jerusalem were getting dark before the Sabbath, I gave orders for the doors to be shut and not to be open again till after the Sabbath: and I put some of my servants by the door so that nothing might be taken in on the Sabbath day.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:21 @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:13:24 @And their children were talking half in the language of Ashdod; they had no knowledge of the Jews' language, but made use of the language of the two peoples.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:25 @And I took up the cause against them, cursing them and giving blows to some of them and pulling out their hair; and I made them take an oath by God, saying, You are not to give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons or for yourselves.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:26 @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@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:1:4 @And for a long time, even a hundred and eighty days, he let them see all the wealth and the glory of his kingdom and the great power and honour which were his.

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:1:12 @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:1:15 @What is to be done by law to Vashti the queen, because she has not done what King Ahasuerus, by his servants, gave her orders to do?

bbe@Esther:1:16 @And before the king and the captains, Memucan gave his answer: Vashti the queen has done wrong, not only to the king, but to all the captains and to all the peoples in all the divisions of the kingdom of King Ahasuerus;

bbe@Esther:1:17 @For news of what the queen has done will come to the ears of all women, and they will no longer give respect to their husbands when it is said to them, King Ahasuerus gave orders for Vashti the queen to come before him and she came not.

bbe@Esther:1:19 @If it is pleasing to the king, let an order go out from him, and let it be recorded among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, so that it may never be changed, that Vashti is never again to come before King Ahasuerus; and let the king give her place to another who is better than she.

bbe@Esther:1:20 @And when this order, given by the king, is made public through all his kingdom (for it is great), all the wives will give honour to their husbands, great as well as small.

bbe@Esther: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:2:7 @And he had been a father to Hadassah, that is Esther, the daughter of his father's brother: for she had no father or mother, and she was very beautiful; and when her father and mother were dead, Mordecai took her for his daughter.

bbe@Esther:2:10 @Esther had not said what family or people she came from, for Mordecai had given her orders not to do so.

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:2:15 @Now when the time came for Esther, the daughter of Abihail, his father's brother, whom Mordecai had taken as his daughter, to go in to the king, she made request for nothing but what Hegai, the king's servant and keeper of the women, had given her. And Esther was looked on kindly by all who saw her.

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: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:3:2 @And all the king's servants who were in the king's house went down to the earth before Haman and gave him honour: for so the king had given orders. But Mordecai did not go down before him or give him honour.

bbe@Esther:3:4 @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:3:5 @And when Haman saw that Mordecai did not go down before him and give him honour, Haman was full of wrath.

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: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:4:2 @And he came even before the king's doorway; for no one might come inside the king's door clothed in 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:4:11 @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:4:13 @Then Mordecai sent this answer back to Esther: Do not have the idea that you in the king's house will be safe from the fate of all the Jews.

bbe@Esther:4:14 @If at this time you say nothing, then help and salvation will come to the Jews from some other place, but you and your father's family will come to destruction: and who is to say that you have not come to the kingdom even for such a time as this?

bbe@Esther:4:16 @Go, get together all the Jews who are present in Shushan, and go without food for me, taking no food or drink night or day for three days: and I and my women will do the same; and so I will go in to the king, which is against the law: and if death is to be my fate, then let it come.

bbe@Esther:5:1 @Now on the third day, Esther put on her queen's robes, and took her place in the inner room of the king's house, facing the king's house: and the king was seated on his high seat in the king's house, facing the doorway of the house.

bbe@Esther:5:9 @Then on that day Haman went out full of joy and glad in heart; but when he saw Mordecai in the king's doorway, and he did not get to his feet or give any sign of fear before him, Haman was full of wrath against Mordecai.

bbe@Esther:5:11 @And he gave them an account of the glories of his wealth, and the number of children he had, and the ways in which he had been honoured by the king, and how he had put him over the captains and servants of the king.

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:5:13 @But all this is nothing to me while I see Mordecai the Jew seated by the king's doorway.

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:6:6 @So Haman came in. And the king said to him, What is to be done to the man whom the king has delight in honouring? Then the thought came into Haman's mind, Whom, more than myself, would the king have pleasure in honouring?

bbe@Esther:6:7 @And Haman, answering the king, said, For the man whom the king has delight in honouring,

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:6:13 @And Haman gave his wife Zeresh and all his friends an account of what had taken place. Then his wise men and his wife Zeresh said to him, If Mordecai, who is starting to get the better of you, is of the seed of the Jews, you will not be able to do anything against him, but you will certainly go down before him.

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:8:7 @Then King Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, See now, I have given Esther the family of Haman, and he has come to his death by hanging, because he made an attack on the Jews.

bbe@Esther:8:8 @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:8:14 @So the men went out on the quick-running horses used on the king's business, wasting no time and forced on by the king's order; and the order was given out in Shushan, the king's town.

bbe@Esther:8:16 @And the Jews had light and joy and honour.

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:9:10 @The ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the hater of the Jews; but they put not a hand on any of their goods.

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:9:15 @For the Jews who were in Shushan came together again on the fourteenth day of the month Adar and put to death three hundred men in Shushan; but they put not a hand on their goods.

bbe@Esther:9:16 @And the other Jews in every division of the kingdom came together, fighting for their lives, and got salvation from their haters and put seventy-five thousand of them to death; but they did not put a hand on their goods.

bbe@Esther:9:19 @So the Jews of the country places living in unwalled towns make the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of feasting and joy and a good day, a day for sending offerings one to another.

bbe@Esther:9:22 @As days on which the Jews had rest from their haters, and the month which for them was turned from sorrow to joy, and from weeping to a good day: and that they were to keep them as days of feasting and joy, of sending offerings to one another and good things to the poor.

bbe@Esther:9:28 @And that those days were to be kept in memory through every generation and every family, in every division of the kingdom and every town, that there might never be a time when these days of Purim would not be kept among the Jews, or when the memory of them would go from the minds of their seed.

bbe@Esther:10:2 @And all his acts of power and his great strength and the full story of the high place which the king gave Mordecai, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Media and Persia?
