bes@Haggai:2:15 @ And Aggaeus answered and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the Lord; and so are all the works of their hands: and whosoever shall approach them, shall be defiled (note:)Not in Hebrew(:note) because of their early burdens: they shall be pained because of their toils; and ye have hated him that reproved in the gates.

bes@Jdt:1:12 @ Therefore Nabuchodonosor was very angry with all this country, and sware by his throne and kingdom, that he would surely be avenged upon all those coasts of Cilicia, and Damascus, and Syria, and that he would slay with the sword all the inhabitants of the land of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and all Judea, and all that were in Egypt, till ye come to the borders of the two seas.

bes@Jdt:3:5 @ So the men came to Holofernes, and declared unto him after this manner.

bes@Jdt:5:3 @ And he said unto them, Tell me now, ye sons of Chanaan, who this people is, that dwelleth in the hill country, and what are the cities that they inhabit, and what is the multitude of their army, and wherein is their power and strength, and what king is set over them, or captain of their army;

bes@Jdt:5:5 @ Then said Achior, the captain of all the sons of Ammon, Let my lord now hear a word from the mouth of thy servant, and I will declare unto thee the truth concerning this people, which dwelleth near thee, and inhabiteth the hill countries: and there shall no lie come out of the mouth of thy servant.

bes@Jdt:5:6 @ This people are descended of the Chaldeans:

bes@Jdt:5:20 @ Now therefore, my lord and governor, if there be any error against this people, and they sin against their God, let us consider that this shall be their ruin, and let us go up, and we shall overcome them.

bes@Jdt:6:5 @ And thou, Achior, an hireling of Ammon, which hast spoken these words in the day of thine iniquity, shalt see my face no more from this day, until I take vengeance of this nation that came out of Egypt.

bes@Jdt:6:19 @ O Lord God of heaven, behold their pride, and pity the low estate of our nation, and look upon the face of those that are sanctified unto thee this day.

bes@Jdt:7:10 @ For this people of the children of Israel do not trust in their spears, but in the height of the mountains wherein they dwell, because it is not easy to come up to the tops of their mountains.

bes@Jdt:8:11 @ And they came unto her, and she said unto them, Hear me now, O ye governors of the inhabitants of Bethulia: for your words that ye have spoken before the people this day are not right, touching this oath which ye made and pronounced between God and you, and have promised to deliver the city to our enemies, unless within these days the Lord turn to help you.

bes@Jdt:8:12 @ And now who are ye that have tempted God this day, and stand instead of God among the children of men?

bes@Jdt:8:29 @ For this is not the first day wherein thy wisdom is manifested; but from the beginning of thy days all the people have known thy understanding, because the disposition of thine heart is good.

bes@Jdt:8:33 @ Ye shall stand this night in the gate, and I will go forth with my waitingwoman: and within the days that ye have promised to deliver the city to our enemies the Lord will visit Israel by mine hand.

bes@Jdt:10:19 @ And they wondered at her beauty, and admired the children of Israel because of her, and every one said to his neighbour, Who would despise this people, that have among them such women? surely it is not good that one man of them be left who being let go might deceive the whole earth.

bes@Jdt:11:3 @ But now tell me wherefore thou art fled from them, and art come unto us: for thou art come for safeguard; be of good comfort, thou shalt live this night, and hereafter:

bes@Jdt:11:5 @ Then Judith said unto him, Receive the words of thy servant, and suffer thine handmaid to speak in thy presence, and I will declare no lie to my lord this night.

bes@Jdt:11:16 @ Wherefore I thine handmaid, knowing all this, am fled from their presence; and God hath sent me to work things with thee, whereat all the earth shall be astonished, and whosoever shall hear it.

bes@Jdt:12:11 @ Then said he to Bagoas the eunuch, who had charge over all that he had, Go now, and persuade this Hebrew woman which is with thee, that she come unto us, and eat and drink with us.

bes@Jdt:12:13 @ Then went Bagoas from the presence of Holofernes, and came to her, and he said, Let not this fair damsel fear to come to my lord, and to be honoured in his presence, and drink wine, and be merry with us and be made this day as one of the daughters of the Assyrians, which serve in the house of Nabuchodonosor.

bes@Jdt:12:18 @ So Judith said, I will drink now, my lord, because my life is magnified in me this day more than all the days since I was born.

bes@Jdt:13:4 @ So all went forth and none was left in the bedchamber, neither little nor great. Then Judith, standing by his bed, said in her heart, O Lord God of all power, look at this present upon the works of mine hands for the exaltation of Jerusalem.

bes@Jdt:13:7 @ And approached to his bed, and took hold of the hair of his head, and said, Strengthen me, O Lord God of Israel, this day.

bes@Jdt:13:11 @ Then said Judith afar off, to the watchmen at the gate, Open, open now the gate: God, even our God, is with us, to shew his power yet in Jerusalem, and his forces against the enemy, as he hath even done this day.

bes@Jdt:13:14 @ Then she said to them with a loud voice, Praise, praise God, praise God, I say, for he hath not taken away his mercy from the house of Israel, but hath destroyed our enemies by mine hands this night.

bes@Jdt:13:17 @ Then all the people were wonderfully astonished, and bowed themselves and worshipped God, and said with one accord, Blessed be thou, O our God, which hast this day brought to nought the enemies of thy people.

bes@Jdt:13:19 @ For this thy confidence shall not depart from the heart of men, which remember the power of God for ever.

bes@Jdt:14:1 @ Then said Judith unto them, Hear me now, my brethren, and take this head, and hang it upon the highest place of your walls.

bes@Jdt:14:10 @ And when Achior had seen all that the God of Israel had done, he believed in God greatly, and circumcised the flesh of his foreskin, and was joined unto the house of Israel unto this day.

bes@Jdt:16:1 @ Then Judith began to sing this thanksgiving in all Israel, and all the people sang after her this song of praise.

bes@Jdt:16:21 @ After this time every one returned to his own inheritance, and Judith went to Bethulia, and remained in her own possession, and was in her time honourable in all the country.

bes@Wis:2:9 @ Let none of us go without his part of our voluptuousness: let us leave tokens of our joyfulness in every place: for this is our portion, and our lot is this.

bes@Wis:4:15 @ This the people saw, and understood it not, neither laid they up this in their minds, That his grace and mercy is with his saints, and that he hath respect unto his chosen.

bes@Wis:5:3 @ And they repenting and groaning for anguish of spirit shall say within themselves, This was he, whom we had sometimes in derision, and a proverb of reproach:

bes@Wis:7:30 @ For after this cometh night: but vice shall not prevail against wisdom.

bes@Wis:8:5 @ If riches be a possession to be desired in this life; what is richer than wisdom, that worketh all things?

bes@Wis:10:7 @ Of whose wickedness even to this day the waste land that smoketh is a testimony, and plants bearing fruit that never come to ripeness: and a standing pillar of salt is a monument of an unbelieving soul.

bes@Wis:10:8 @ For regarding not wisdom, they gat not only this hurt, that they knew not the things which were good; but also left behind them to the world a memorial of their foolishness: so that in the things wherein they offended they could not so much as be hid.

bes@Wis:13:6 @ But yet for this they are the less to be blamed: for they peradventure err, seeking God, and desirous to find him.

bes@Wis:14:17 @ Whom men could not honour in presence, because they dwelt far off, they took the counterfeit of his visage from far, and made an express image of a king whom they honoured, to the end that by this their forwardness they might flatter him that was absent, as if he were present.

bes@Wis:14:21 @ And this was an occasion to deceive the world: for men, serving either calamity or tyranny, did ascribe unto stones and stocks the incommunicable name.

bes@Wis:14:22 @ Moreover this was not enough for them, that they erred in the knowledge of God; but whereas they lived in the great war of ignorance, those so great plagues called they peace.

bes@Wis:15:13 @ For this man, that of earthly matter maketh brittle vessels and graven images, knoweth himself to offend above all others.

bes@Wis:16:8 @ And in this thou madest thine enemies confess, that it is thou who deliverest from all evil:

bes@Wis:16:23 @ But this again did even forget his own strength, that the righteous might be nourished.

bes@Wis:18:13 @ For whereas they would not believe any thing by reason of the enchantments; upon the destruction of the firstborn, they acknowledged this people to be the sons of God.

bes@Wis:18:19 @ For the dreams that troubled them did foreshew this, lest they should perish, and not know why they were afflicted.

bes@Wis:19:4 @ For the destiny, whereof they were worthy, drew them unto this end, and made them forget the things that had already happened, that they might fulfil the punishment which was wanting to their torments:

bes@Tob:1:2 @ Who in the time of Enemessar king of the Assyrians was led captive out of Thisbe, which is at the right hand of that city, which is called properly Nephthali in Galilee above Aser.

bes@Tob:2:8 @ But my neighbours mocked me, and said, This man is not yet afraid to be put to death for this matter: who fled away; and yet, lo, he burieth the dead again.

bes@Tob:2:13 @ And when it was in my house, and began to cry, I said unto her, From whence is this kid? is it not stolen? render it to the owners; for it is not lawful to eat any thing that is stolen.

bes@Tob:3:6 @ Now therefore deal with me as seemeth best unto thee, and command my spirit to be taken from me, that I may be dissolved, and become earth: for it is profitable for me to die rather than to live, because I have heard false reproaches, and have much sorrow: command therefore that I may now be delivered out of this distress, and go into the everlasting place: turn not thy face away from me.

bes@Tob:3:10 @ When she heard these things, she was very sorrowful, so that she thought to have strangled herself; and she said, I am the only daughter of my father, and if I do this, it shall be a reproach unto him, and I shall bring his old age with sorrow unto the grave.

bes@Tob:4:20 @ And now I signify this to they that I committed ten talents to Gabael the son of Gabrias at Rages in Media.

bes@Tob:5:16 @ So they were well pleased. Then said he to Tobias, Prepare thyself for the journey, and God send you a good journey. And when his son had prepared all things far the journey, his father said, Go thou with this man, and God, which dwelleth in heaven, prosper your journey, and the angel of God keep you company. So they went forth both, and the young man’s dog with them.

bes@Tob:6:13 @ Then the young man answered the angel, I have heard, brother Azarias that this maid hath been given to seven men, who all died in the marriage chamber.

bes@Tob:6:15 @ Then the angel said unto him, Dost thou not remember the precepts which thy father gave thee, that thou shouldest marry a wife of thine own kindred? wherefore hear me, O my brother; for she shall be given thee to wife; and make thou no reckoning of the evil spirit; for this same night shall she be given thee in marriage.

bes@Tob:7:2 @ Then said Raguel to Edna his wife, How like is this young man to Tobit my cousin!

bes@Tob:7:8 @ And likewise Edna his wife and Sara his daughter wept. Moreover they entertained them cheerfully; and after that they had killed a ram of the flock, they set store of meat on the table. Then said Tobias to Raphael, Brother Azarias, speak of those things of which thou didst talk in the way, and let this business be dispatched.

bes@Tob:7:18 @ Be of good comfort, my daughter; the Lord of heaven and earth give thee joy for this thy sorrow: be of good comfort, my daughter.

bes@Tob:8:7 @ And now, O Lord, I take not this my sister for lush but uprightly: therefore mercifully ordain that we may become aged together.

bes@Tob:14:3 @ And when he was very aged he called his son, and the sons of his son, and said to him, My son, take thy children; for, behold, I am aged, and am ready to depart out of this life.

bes@Sir:11:18 @ There is that waxeth rich by his wariness and pinching, and this his the portion of his reward:

bes@Sir:13:23 @ When a rich man speaketh, every man holdeth his tongue, and, look, what he saith, they extol it to the clouds: but if the poor man speak, they say, What fellow is this? and if he stumble, they will help to overthrow him.

bes@Sir:14:6 @ There is none worse than he that envieth himself; and this is a recompence of his wickedness.

bes@Sir:16:29 @ After this the Lord looked upon the earth, and filled it with his blessings.

bes@Sir:17:11 @ Beside this he gave them knowledge, and the law of life for an heritage.

bes@Sir:23:21 @ This man shall be punished in the streets of the city, and where he suspecteth not he shall be taken.

bes@Sir:27:7 @ Praise no man before thou hearest him speak; for this is the trial of men.

bes@Sir:35:23 @ In every good work trust thy own soul; for this is the keeping of the commandments.

bes@Sir:37:15 @ And above all this pray to the most High, that he will direct thy way in truth.

bes@Sir:39:15 @ Magnify his name, and shew forth his praise with the songs of your lips, and with harps, and in praising him ye shall say after this manner:

bes@Sir:39:17 @ And none may say, What is this? wherefore is that? for at time convenient they shall all be sought out: at his commandment the waters stood as an heap, and at the words of his mouth the receptacles of waters.

bes@Sir:39:21 @ A man need not to say, What is this? wherefore is that? for he hath made all things for their uses.

bes@Sir:39:34 @ So that a man cannot say, This is worse than that: for in time they shall all be well approved.

bes@Sir:41:3 @ Fear not the sentence of death, remember them that have been before thee, and that come after; for this is the sentence of the Lord over all flesh.

bes@Sir:43:14 @ Through this the treasures are opened: and clouds fly forth as fowls.

bes@Sir:45:15 @ Moses consecrated him, and anointed him with holy oil: this was appointed unto him by an everlasting covenant, and to his seed, so long as the heavens should remain, that they should minister unto him, and execute the office of the priesthood, and bless the people in his name.

bes@Sir:45:19 @ This the Lord saw, and it displeased him, and in his wrathful indignation were they consumed: he did wonders upon them, to consume them with the fiery flame.

bes@Sir:47:7 @ For he destroyed the enemies on every side, and brought to nought the Philistines his adversaries, and brake their horn in sunder unto this day.

bes@Sir:48:15 @ For all this the people repented not, neither departed they from their sins, till they were spoiled and carried out of their land, and were scattered through all the earth: yet there remained a small people, and a ruler in the house of David:

bes@Sir:50:27 @ Jesus the son of Sirach of Jerusalem hath written in this book the instruction of understanding and knowledge, who out of his heart poured forth wisdom.

bes@Bar:1:3 @ And Baruch did read the words of this book in the hearing of Jechonias the son of Joachim king of Juda, and in the ears of all the people that came to hear the book,

bes@Bar:1:13 @ Pray for us also unto the Lord our God, for we have sinned against the Lord our God; and unto this day the fury of the Lord and his wrath is not turned from us.

bes@Bar:1:14 @ And ye shall read this book which we have sent unto you, to make confession in the house of the Lord, upon the feasts and solemn days.

bes@Bar:1:15 @ And ye shall say, To the Lord our God belongeth righteousness, but unto us the confusion of faces, as it is come to pass this day, unto them of Juda, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem,

bes@Bar:1:19 @ Since the day that the Lord brought our forefathers out of the land of Egypt, unto this present day, we have been disobedient unto the Lord our God, and we have been negligent in not hearing his voice.

bes@Bar:1:20 @ Wherefore the evils cleaved unto us, and the curse, which the Lord appointed by Moses his servant at the time that he brought our fathers out of the land of Egypt, to give us a land that floweth with milk and honey, like as it is to see this day.

bes@Bar:2:6 @ To the Lord our God appertaineth righteousness: but unto us and to our fathers open shame, as appeareth this day.

bes@Bar:2:11 @ And now, O Lord God of Israel, that hast brought thy people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and high arm, and with signs, and with wonders, and with great power, and hast gotten thyself a name, as appeareth this day:

bes@Bar:2:26 @ And the house which is called by thy name hast thou laid waste, as it is to be seen this day, for the wickedness of the house of Israel and the house of Juda.

bes@Bar:2:29 @ If ye will not hear my voice, surely this very great multitude shall be turned into a small number among the nations, where I will scatter them.

bes@Bar:3:5 @ Remember not the iniquities of our forefathers: but think upon thy power and thy name now at this time.

bes@Bar:3:7 @ And for this cause thou hast put thy fear in our hearts, to the intent that we should call upon thy name, and praise thee in our captivity: for we have called to mind all the iniquity of our forefathers, that sinned before thee.

bes@Bar:3:8 @ Behold, we are yet this day in our captivity, where thou hast scattered us, for a reproach and a curse, and to be subject to payments, according to all the iniquities of our fathers, which departed from the Lord our God.

bes@Bar:3:35 @ This is our God, and there shall none other be accounted of in comparison of him

bes@Bar:4:1 @ This is the book of the commandments of God, and the law that endureth for ever: all they that keep it shall come to life; but such as leave it shall die.

bes@Bar:6:23 @ By this ye may know that they are no gods: therefore fear them not.

bes@Bar:6:42 @ Yet they cannot understand this themselves, and leave them: for they have no knowledge.

bes@1Macc:1:12 @ So this device pleased them well.

bes@1Macc:2:7 @ He said, Woe is me! wherefore was I born to see this misery of my people, and of the holy city, and to dwell there, when it was delivered into the hand of the enemy, and the sanctuary into the hand of strangers?

bes@1Macc:2:17 @ Then answered the king’s officers, and said to Mattathias on this wise, Thou art a ruler, and an honourable and great man in this city, and strengthened with sons and brethren:

bes@1Macc:3:17 @ Who, when they saw the host coming to meet them, said unto Judas, How shall we be able, being so few, to fight against so great a multitude and so strong, seeing we are ready to faint with fasting all this day?

bes@1Macc:3:55 @ And after this Judas ordained captains over the people, even captains over thousands, and over hundreds, and over fifties, and over tens.

bes@1Macc:4:10 @ Now therefore let us cry unto heaven, if peradventure the Lord will have mercy upon us, and remember the covenant of our fathers, and destroy this host before our face this day:

bes@1Macc:4:16 @ This done, Judas returned again with his host from pursuing them,

bes@1Macc:4:18 @ And Gorgias and his host are here by us in the mountain: but stand ye now against our enemies, and overcome them, and after this ye may boldly take the spoils.

bes@1Macc:4:24 @ After this they went home, and sung a song of thanksgiving, and praised the Lord in heaven: because it is good, because his mercy endureth forever.

bes@1Macc:4:31 @ Shut up this army in the hand of thy people Israel, and let them be confounded in their power and horsemen:

bes@1Macc:4:37 @ Upon this all the host assembled themselves together, and went up into mount Sion.

bes@1Macc:5:14 @ While these letters were yet reading, behold, there came other messengers from Galilee with their clothes rent, who reported on this wise,

bes@1Macc:5:19 @ Unto whom he gave commandment, saying, Take ye the charge of this people, and see that ye make not war against the heathen until the time that we come again.

bes@1Macc:5:32 @ He said unto his host, Fight this day for your brethren.

bes@1Macc:5:35 @ This done, Judas turned aside to Maspha; and after he had assaulted it he took and slew all the males therein, and received the spoils thereof and burnt it with fire.

bes@1Macc:5:39 @ He hath also hired the Arabians to help them and they have pitched their tents beyond the brook, ready to come and fight against thee. Upon this Judas went to meet them.

bes@1Macc:5:46 @ Now when they came unto Ephron, (this was a great city in the way as they should go, very well fortified) they could not turn from it, either on the right hand or the left, but must needs pass through the midst of it.

bes@1Macc:5:52 @ After this went they over Jordan into the great plain before Bethsan.

bes@1Macc:6:13 @ I perceive therefore that for this cause these troubles are come upon me, and, behold, I perish through great grief in a strange land.

bes@1Macc:6:18 @ About this time they that were in the tower shut up the Israelites round about the sanctuary, and sought always their hurt, and the strengthening of the heathen.

bes@1Macc:6:26 @ And, behold, this day are they besieging the tower at Jerusalem, to take it: the sanctuary also and Bethsura have they fortified.

bes@1Macc:6:28 @ Now when the king heard this, he was angry, and gathered together all his friends, and the captains of his army, and those that had charge of the horse.

bes@1Macc:6:32 @ Upon this Judas removed from the tower, and pitched in Bathzacharias, over against the king’s camp.

bes@1Macc:6:35 @ Moreover they divided the beasts among the armies, and for every elephant they appointed a thousand men, armed with coats of mail, and with helmets of brass on their heads; and beside this, for every beast were ordained five hundred horsemen of the best.

bes@1Macc:6:38 @ As for the remnant of the horsemen, they set them on this side and that side at the two parts of the host giving them signs what to do, and being harnessed all over amidst the ranks.

bes@1Macc:7:14 @ For said they, One that is a priest of the seed of Aaron is come with this army, and he will do us no wrong.

bes@1Macc:7:19 @ After this, removed Bacchides from Jerusalem, and pitched his tents in Bezeth, where he sent and took many of the men that had forsaken him, and certain of the people also, and when he had slain them, he cast them into the great pit.

bes@1Macc:7:33 @ After this went Nicanor up to mount Sion, and there came out of the sanctuary certain of the priests and certain of the elders of the people, to salute him peaceably, and to shew him the burnt sacrifice that was offered for the king.

bes@1Macc:7:35 @ And sware in his wrath, saying, Unless Judas and his host be now delivered into my hands, if ever I come again in safety, I will burn up this house: and with that he went out in a great rage.

bes@1Macc:7:37 @ Thou, O Lord, didst choose this house to be called by thy name, and to be a house of prayer and petition for thy people:

bes@1Macc:7:38 @ Be avenged of this man and his host, and let them fall by the sword: remember their blasphemies, and suffer them not to continue any longer.

bes@1Macc:7:42 @ Even so destroy thou this host before us this day, that the rest may know that he hath spoken blasphemously against thy sanctuary, and judge thou him according to his wickedness.

bes@1Macc:7:48 @ For this cause the people rejoiced greatly, and they kept that day a day of great gladness.

bes@1Macc:7:49 @ Moreover they ordained to keep yearly this day, being the thirteenth of Adar.

bes@1Macc:8:5 @ Beside this, how they had discomfited in battle Philip, and Perseus, king of the Citims, with others that lifted up themselves against them, and had overcome them:

bes@1Macc:8:10 @ And that they, having knowledge thereof sent against them a certain captain, and fighting with them slew many of them, and carried away captives their wives and their children, and spoiled them, and took possession of their lands, and pulled down their strong holds, and brought them to be their servants unto this day:

bes@1Macc:8:14 @ Yet for all this none of them wore a crown or was clothed in purple, to be magnified thereby:

bes@1Macc:8:22 @ And this is the copy of the epistle which the senate wrote back again in tables of brass, and sent to Jerusalem, that there they might have by them a memorial of peace and confederacy:

bes@1Macc:9:10 @ Then Judas said, God forbid that I should do this thing, and flee away from them: if our time be come, let us die manfully for our brethren, and let us not stain our honour.

bes@1Macc:9:28 @ For this cause all Judas’ friends came together, and said unto Jonathan,

bes@1Macc:9:30 @ Now therefore we have chosen thee this day to be our prince and captain in his stead, that thou mayest fight our battles.

bes@1Macc:9:31 @ Upon this Jonathan took the governance upon him at that time, and rose up instead of his brother Judas.

bes@1Macc:9:37 @ After this came word to Jonathan and Simon his brother, that the children of Jambri made a great marriage, and were bringing the bride from Nadabatha with a great train, as being the daughter of one of the great princes of Chanaan.

bes@1Macc:9:45 @ For, behold, the battle is before us and behind us, and the water of Jordan on this side and that side, the marsh likewise and wood, neither is there place for us to turn aside.

bes@1Macc:10:10 @ This done, Jonathan settled himself in Jerusalem, and began to build and repair the city.

bes@1Macc:10:17 @ Upon this he wrote a letter, and sent it unto him, according to these words, saying,

bes@1Macc:10:20 @ Wherefore now this day we ordain thee to be the high priest of thy nation, and to be called the king’s friend; (and therewithal he sent him a purple robe and a crown of gold:) and require thee to take our part, and keep friendship with us.

bes@1Macc:10:25 @ He sent unto them therefore to this effect: King Demetrius unto the people of the Jews sendeth greeting:

bes@1Macc:10:30 @ And from that which appertaineth unto me to receive for the third part or the seed, and the half of the fruit of the trees, I release it from this day forth, so that they shall not be taken of the land of Judea, nor of the three governments which are added thereunto out of the country of Samaria and Galilee, from this day forth for evermore.

bes@1Macc:10:42 @ And beside this, the five thousand shekels of silver, which they took from the uses of the temple out of the accounts year by year, even those things shall be released, because they appertain to the priests that minister.

bes@1Macc:10:51 @ Afterward Alexander sent ambassadors to Ptolemee king of Egypt with a message to this effect:

bes@1Macc:10:87 @ After this returned Jonathan and his host unto Jerusalem, having any spoils.

bes@1Macc:11:15 @ But when Alexander heard of this, he came to war against him: whereupon king Ptolemee brought forth his host, and met him with a mighty power, and put him to flight.

bes@1Macc:11:19 @ By this means Demetrius reigned in the hundred threescore and seventh year.

bes@1Macc:11:23 @ Nevertheless Jonathan, when he heard this, commanded to besiege it still: and he chose certain of the elders of Israel and the priests, and put himself in peril;

bes@1Macc:11:29 @ So the king consented, and wrote letters unto Jonathan of all these things after this manner:

bes@1Macc:11:36 @ And nothing hereof shall be revoked from this time forth for ever.

bes@1Macc:11:38 @ After this, when king Demetrius saw that the land was quiet before him, and that no resistance was made against him, he sent away all his forces, every one to his own place, except certain bands of strangers, whom he had gathered from the isles of the heathen: wherefore all the forces of his fathers hated him.

bes@1Macc:11:40 @ And lay sore upon him to deliver him this young Antiochus, that he might reign in his father’s stead: he told him therefore all that Demetrius had done, and how his men of war were at enmity with him, and there he remained a long season.

bes@1Macc:11:42 @ So Demetrius sent unto Jonathan, saying, I will not only do this for thee and thy people, but I will greatly honour thee and thy nation, if opportunity serve.

bes@1Macc:11:44 @ Upon this Jonathan sent him three thousand strong men unto Antioch: and when they came to the king, the king was very glad of their coming.

bes@1Macc:11:54 @ After this returned Tryphon, and with him the young child Antiochus, who reigned, and was crowned.

bes@1Macc:11:58 @ Upon this he sent him golden vessels to be served in, and gave him leave to drink in gold, and to be clothed in purple, and to wear a golden buckle.

bes@1Macc:11:73 @ Now when his own men that were fled saw this, they turned again unto him, and with him pursued them to Cades, even unto their own tents, and there they camped.

bes@1Macc:12:4 @ Upon this the Romans gave them letters unto the governors of every place that they should bring them into the land of Judea peaceably.

bes@1Macc:12:5 @ And this is the copy of the letters which Jonathan wrote to the Lacedemonians:

bes@1Macc:12:16 @ For this cause we chose Numenius the son of Antiochus, and Antipater he son of Jason, and sent them unto the Romans, to renew the amity that we had with them, and the former league.

bes@1Macc:12:19 @ And this is the copy of the letters which Oniares sent.

bes@1Macc:12:22 @ Now therefore, since this is come to our knowledge, ye shall do well to write unto us of your prosperity.

bes@1Macc:12:23 @ We do write back again to you, that your cattle and goods are our’s, and our’s are your’s We do command therefore our ambassadors to make report unto you on this wise.

bes@1Macc:12:25 @ He removed from Jerusalem, and met them in the land of Amathis: for he gave them no respite to enter his country.

bes@1Macc:12:35 @ After this came Jonathan home again, and calling the elders of the people together, he consulted with them about building strong holds in Judea,

bes@1Macc:12:37 @ Upon this they came together to build up the city, forasmuch as part of the wall toward the brook on the east side was fallen down, and they repaired that which was called Caphenatha.

bes@1Macc:12:44 @ Unto Jonathan also he said, Why hast thou brought all this people to so great trouble, seeing there is no war betwixt us?

bes@1Macc:12:45 @ Therefore send them now home again, and choose a few men to wait on thee, and come thou with me to Ptolemais, for I will give it thee, and the rest of the strong holds and forces, and all that have any charge: as for me, I will return and depart: for this is the cause of my coming.

bes@1Macc:13:20 @ And after this came Tryphon to invade the land, and destroy it, going round about by the way that leadeth unto Adora: but Simon and his host marched against him in every place, wheresoever he went.

bes@1Macc:13:30 @ This is the sepulchre which he made at Modin, and it standeth yet unto this day.

bes@1Macc:13:35 @ Unto whom king Demetrius answered and wrote after this manner:

bes@1Macc:13:39 @ As for any oversight or fault committed unto this day, we forgive it, and the crown tax also, which ye owe us: and if there were any other tribute paid in Jerusalem, it shall no more be paid.

bes@1Macc:14:5 @ And as he was honourable in all his acts, so in this, that he took Joppa for an haven, and made an entrance to the isles of the sea,

bes@1Macc:14:20 @ And this is the copy of the letters that the Lacedemonians sent; The rulers of the Lacedemonians, with the city, unto Simon the high priest, and the elders, and priests, and residue of the people of the Jews, our brethren, send greeting:

bes@1Macc:14:22 @ And did register the things that they spake in the council of the people in this manner; Numenius son of Antiochus, and Antipater son of Jason, the Jews’ ambassadors, came unto us to renew the friendship they had with us.

bes@1Macc:14:24 @ After this Simon sent Numenius to Rome with a great shield of gold of a thousand pound weight to confirm the league with them.

bes@1Macc:14:27 @ So then they wrote it in tables of brass, which they set upon pillars in mount Sion: and this is the copy of the writing; The eighteenth day of the month Elul, in the hundred threescore and twelfth year, being the third year of Simon the high priest,

bes@1Macc:14:43 @ Beside this, that he should be obeyed of every man, and that all the writings in the country should be made in his name, and that he should be clothed in purple, and wear gold:

bes@1Macc:14:48 @ So they commanded that this writing should be put in tables of brass, and that they should be set up within the compass of the sanctuary in a conspicuous place;

bes@1Macc:15:8 @ And if anything be, or shall be, owing to the king, let it be forgiven thee from this time forth for evermore.

bes@1Macc:16:2 @ Wherefore Simon called his two eldest sons, Judas and John, and said unto them, I, and my brethren, and my father’s house, have ever from my youth unto this day fought against the enemies of Israel; and things have prospered so well in our hands, that we have delivered Israel oftentimes.

bes@2Macc:1:22 @ When this was done, and the time came that the sun shone, which afore was hid in the cloud, there was a great fire kindled, so that every man marvelled.

bes@2Macc:1:24 @ And the prayer was after this manner; O Lord, Lord God, Creator of all things, who art fearful and strong, and righteous, and merciful, and the only and gracious King,

bes@2Macc:1:32 @ When this was done, there was kindled a flame: but it was consumed by the light that shined from the altar.

bes@2Macc:1:33 @ So when this matter was known, it was told the king of Persia, that in the place, where the priests that were led away had hid the fire, there appeared water, and that Neemias had purified the sacrifices therewith.

bes@2Macc:1:36 @ And Neemias called this thing Naphthar, which is as much as to say, a cleansing: but many men call it Nephi.

bes@2Macc:2:26 @ Therefore to us, that have taken upon us this painful labour of abridging, it was not easy, but a matter of sweat and watching;

bes@2Macc:2:27 @ Even as it is no ease unto him that prepareth a banquet, and seeketh the benefit of others: yet for the pleasuring of many we will undertake gladly this great pains;

bes@2Macc:3:14 @ So at the day which he appointed he entered in to order this matter: wherefore there was no small agony throughout the whole city.

bes@2Macc:3:40 @ And the things concerning Heliodorus, and the keeping of the treasury, fell out on this sort.

bes@2Macc:4:1 @ This Simon now, of whom we spake afore, having been a betrayer of the money, and of his country, slandered Onias, as if he ha terrified Heliodorus, and been the worker of these evils.

bes@2Macc:4:4 @ Onias seeing the danger of this contention, and that Apollonius, as being the governor of Celosyria and Phenice, did rage, and increase Simon’s malice,

bes@2Macc:4:9 @ Beside this, he promised to assign an hundred and fifty more, if he might have licence to set him up a place for exercise, and for the training up of youth in the fashions of the heathen, and to write them of Jerusalem by the name of Antiochians.

bes@2Macc:4:19 @ This ungracious Jason sent special messengers from Jerusalem, who were Antiochians, to carry three hundred drachms of silver to the sacrifice of Hercules, which even the bearers thereof thought fit not to bestow upon the sacrifice, because it was not convenient, but to be reserved for other charges.

bes@2Macc:4:20 @ This money then, in regard of the sender, was appointed to Hercules’ sacrifice; but because of the bearers thereof, it was employed to the making of gallies.

bes@2Macc:5:7 @ Howbeit for all this he obtained not the principality, but at the last received shame for the reward of his treason, and fled again into the country of the Ammonites.

bes@2Macc:5:11 @ Now when this that was done came to the king’s ear, he thought that Judea had revolted: whereupon removing out of Egypt in a furious mind, he took the city by force of arms,

bes@2Macc:5:15 @ Yet was he not content with this, but presumed to go into the most holy temple of all the world; Menelaus, that traitor to the laws, and to his own country, being his guide:

bes@2Macc:5:18 @ For had they not been formerly wrapped in many sins, this man, as soon as he had come, had forthwith been scourged, and put back from his presumption, as Heliodorus was, whom Seleucus the king sent to view the treasury.

bes@2Macc:6:1 @ Not long after this the king sent an old man of Athens to compel the Jews to depart from the laws of their fathers, and not to live after the laws of God:

bes@2Macc:6:3 @ The coming in of this mischief was sore and grievous to the people:

bes@2Macc:6:12 @ Now I beseech those that read this book, that they be not discouraged for these calamities, but that they judge those punishments not to be for destruction, but for a chastening of our nation.

bes@2Macc:6:17 @ But let this that we at spoken be for a warning unto us. And now will we come to the declaring of the matter in a few words.

bes@2Macc:6:27 @ Wherefore now, manfully changing this life, I will shew myself such an one as mine age requireth,

bes@2Macc:6:31 @ And thus this man died, leaving his death for an example of a noble courage, and a memorial of virtue, not only unto young men, but unto all his nation.

bes@2Macc:7:7 @ So when the first was dead after this number, they brought the second to make him a mocking stock: and when they had pulled off the skin of his head with the hair, they asked him, Wilt thou eat, before thou be punished throughout every member of thy body?

bes@2Macc:7:9 @ And when he was at the last gasp, he said, Thou like a fury takest us out of this present life, but the King of the world shall raise us up, who have died for his laws, unto everlasting life.

bes@2Macc:7:13 @ Now when this man was dead also, they tormented and mangled the fourth in like manner.

bes@2Macc:7:27 @ But she bowing herself toward him, laughing the cruel tyrant to scorn, spake in her country language on this manner; O my son, have pity upon me that bare thee nine months in my womb, and gave thee such three years, and nourished thee, and brought thee up unto this age, and endured the troubles of education.

bes@2Macc:7:29 @ Fear not this tormentor, but, being worthy of thy brethren, take thy death that I may receive thee again in mercy with thy brethren.

bes@2Macc:7:40 @ So this man died undefiled, and put his whole trust in the Lord.

bes@2Macc:7:42 @ Let this be enough now to have spoken concerning the idolatrous feasts, and the extreme tortures.

bes@2Macc:8:8 @ So when Philip saw that this man increased by little and little, and that things prospered with him still more and more, he wrote unto Ptolemeus, the governor of Celosyria and Phenice, to yield more aid to the king’s affairs.

bes@2Macc:8:23 @ Also he appointed Eleazar to read the holy book: and when he had given them this watchword, The help of God; himself leading the first band,

bes@2Macc:8:29 @ When this was done, and they had made a common supplication, they besought the merciful Lord to be reconciled with his servants for ever.

bes@2Macc:9:4 @ Then swelling with anger. he thought to avenge upon the Jews the disgrace done unto him by those that made him flee. Therefore commanded he his chariotman to drive without ceasing, and to dispatch the journey, the judgement of God now following him. For he had spoken proudly in this sort, That he would come to Jerusalem and make it a common burying place of the Jews.

bes@2Macc:9:9 @ So that the worms rose up out of the body of this wicked man, and whiles he lived in sorrow and pain, his flesh fell away, and the filthiness of his smell was noisome to all his army.

bes@2Macc:9:13 @ This wicked person vowed also unto the Lord, who now no more would have mercy upon him, saying thus,

bes@2Macc:9:18 @ But for all this his pains would not cease: for the just judgement of God was come upon him: therefore despairing of his health, he wrote unto the Jews the letter underwritten, containing the form of a supplication, after this manner:

bes@2Macc:9:22 @ Not distrusting mine health, but having great hope to escape this sickness.

bes@2Macc:10:9 @ And this was the end of Antiochus, called Epiphanes.

bes@2Macc:10:10 @ Now will we declare the acts of Antiochus Eupator, who was the son of this wicked man, gathering briefly the calamities of the wars.

bes@2Macc:10:38 @ When this was done, they praised the Lord with psalms and thanksgiving, who had done so great things for Israel, and given them the victory.

bes@2Macc:11:16 @ For there were letters written unto the Jews from Lysias to this effect: Lysias unto the people of the Jews sendeth greeting:

bes@2Macc:11:25 @ Wherefore our mind is, that this nation shall be in rest, and we have determined to restore them their temple, that they may live according to the customs of their forefathers.

bes@2Macc:11:27 @ And the letter of the king unto the nation of the Jews was after this manner: King Antiochus sendeth greeting unto the council, and the rest of the Jews:

bes@2Macc:11:38 @ Farewell. This hundred and eight and fortieth year, the fifteenth day of the month Xanthicus.

bes@2Macc:12:5 @ When Judas heard of this cruelty done unto his countrymen, he commanded those that were with him to make them ready.

bes@2Macc:12:22 @ But when Judas his first band came in sight, the enemies, being smitten with fear and terror through the appearing of him who seeth all things, fled amain, one running into this way, another that way, so as that they were often hurt of their own men, and wounded with the points of their own swords.

bes@2Macc:12:40 @ Now under the coats of every one that was slain they found things consecrated to the idols of the Jamnites, which is forbidden the Jews by the law. Then every man saw that this was the cause wherefore they were slain.

bes@2Macc:13:4 @ But the King of kings moved Antiochus’ mind against this wicked wretch, and Lysias informed the king that this man was the cause of all mischief, so that the king commanded to bring him unto Berea, and to put him to death, as the manner is in that place.

bes@2Macc:13:12 @ So when they had all done this together, and besought the merciful Lord with weeping and fasting, and lying flat upon the ground three days long, Judas, having exhorted them, commanded they should be in a readiness.

bes@2Macc:13:17 @ This was done in the break of the day, because the protection of the Lord did help him.

bes@2Macc:14:11 @ This was no sooner spoken of him, but others of the king’s friends, being maliciously set against Judas, did more incense Demetrius.

bes@2Macc:14:25 @ He prayed him also to take a wife, and to beget children: so he married, was quiet, and took part of this life.

bes@2Macc:14:28 @ When this came to Nicanor’s hearing, he was much confounded in himself, and took it grievously that he should make void the articles which were agreed upon, the man being in no fault.

bes@2Macc:14:29 @ But because there was no dealing against the king, he watched his time to accomplish this thing by policy.

bes@2Macc:14:33 @ He stretched out his right hand toward the temple, and made an oath in this manner: If ye will not deliver me Judas as a prisoner, I will lay this temple of God even with the ground, and I will break down the altar, and erect a notable temple unto Bacchus.

bes@2Macc:14:34 @ After these words he departed. Then the priests lifted up their hands toward heaven, and besought him that was ever a defender of their nation, saying in this manner;

bes@2Macc:14:36 @ Therefore now, O holy Lord of all holiness, keep this house ever undefiled, which lately was cleansed, and stop every unrighteous mouth.

bes@2Macc:15:12 @ And this was his vision: That Onias, who had been high priest, a virtuous and a good man, reverend in conversation, gentle in condition, well spoken also, and exercised from a child in all points of virtue, holding up his hands prayed for the whole body of the Jews.

bes@2Macc:15:13 @ This done, in like manner there appeared a man with gray hairs, and exceeding glorious, who was of a wonderful and excellent majesty.

bes@2Macc:15:14 @ Then Onias answered, saying, This is a lover of the brethren, who prayeth much for the people, and for the holy city, to wit, Jeremias the prophet of God.

bes@2Macc:15:16 @ Take this holy sword, a gift from God, with the which thou shalt wound the adversaries.

bes@2Macc:15:22 @ Therefore in his prayer he said after this manner; O Lord, thou didst send thine angel in the time of Ezekias king of Judea, and didst slay in the host of Sennacherib an hundred fourscore and five thousand:

bes@AddDaniel:1:2 @ Then Azarias stood up, and prayed on this manner; and opening his mouth in the midst of the fire said,

bes@AddDaniel:1:13 @ For we, O Lord, are become less than any nation, and be kept under this day in all the world because of our sins.

bes@AddDaniel:1:14 @ Neither is there at this time prince, or prophet, or leader, or burnt offering, or sacrifice, or oblation, or incense, or place to sacrifice before thee, and to find mercy.

bes@AddDaniel:1:16 @ Like as in the burnt offerings of rams and bullocks, and like as in ten thousands of fat lambs: so let our sacrifice be in thy sight this day, and grant that we may wholly go after thee: for they shall not be confounded that put their trust in thee.

bes@3Macc:1:3 @ But Dositheus, called the son of Drimulus, by birth a Jew, afterward a renegade from the laws and observances of his country, conveyed Ptolemy away, and made an obscure person lie down in his stead in the tent. It befell this man to receive the fate which was meant for the other.

bes@3Macc:1:6 @ Having vanquished this attempt, the king then decided to proceed to the neighbouring cities, and encourage them.

bes@3Macc:1:7 @ By doing this, and by making donations to their temples, he inspired his subjects with confidence.

bes@3Macc:1:11 @ And when they told him that this was not permissible, none of the nation, no, nor even the priests in general, but only the supreme high priest of all, and he only once in a year, being allowed to go in, he would by no means give way.

bes@3Macc:1:12 @ Then they read the law to him; but he persisted in obtruding himself, exclaiming, that he ought to be allowed: and saying Be it that they were deprived of this honour, I ought not to be.

bes@3Macc:1:14 @ He was thoroughly answered by some one, That he did wrong to boast of this.

bes@3Macc:1:15 @ Well; since I have done this, said he, be the cause what it may, shall I not enter with or without your consent?

bes@3Macc:1:21 @ Various were the prayers offered up by those who assembled in this place, on account of the unholy attempt of the king.

bes@3Macc:1:24 @ During this time the multitude kept on praying.

bes@3Macc:1:26 @ He, in his hardened mood, insensible to all persuasion, was going onwards with the view of carrying out this design.

bes@3Macc:1:27 @ Yet even his own officers, when they saw this, joined the Jews in an appeal to Him who has all power, to aid in the present crisis, and not wink at such overweening lawlessness.

bes@3Macc:2:9 @ Thou, O King, when thou createdst the illimitable and measureless earth, didst choose out this city: thou didst make this place sacred to thy name, albeit thou needest nothing: thou didst glorify it with thine illustrious presence, after constructing it to the glory of thy great and honourable name.

bes@3Macc:2:10 @ And thou didst promise, out of love to the people of Israel, that should we fall away from thee, and become afflicted, and then come to this house and pray, thou wouldest hear our prayer.

bes@3Macc:2:14 @ We being in this low condition, this bold and profane man seeks to dishonour this thine holy place, consecrated out of the earth to the name of thy Majesty.

bes@3Macc:2:16 @ But since it seemed good to thee to exhibit thy glory among thy people Israel, thou didst sanctify this place.

bes@3Macc:2:19 @ Blot out our iniquities, and do away with our errors, and shew forth thy compassion in this hour.

bes@3Macc:2:24 @ When in course of time he had come to himself, this severe check caused no repentance within him, but he departed with bitter threatenings.

bes@3Macc:3:1 @ On discovering this, so incensed was the wicked king, that he no longer confined his rage to the Jews in Alexandria. Laying his hand more heavily upon those who lived in the country, he gave orders that they should be quickly collected into one place, and most cruelly deprived of their lives.

bes@3Macc:3:2 @ While this was going on, an invidious rumour was uttered abroad by men who had banded together to injure the Jewish race. The purport of their charge was, that the Jews kept them away from the ordinances of the law.

bes@3Macc:3:7 @ who said much of the exclusiveness of the Jews with regard to their worship and meats; they alleged that they were men unsociable, hostile to the king's interests, refusing to associate with him or his troops. By this way of speaking, they brought much odium upon them.

bes@3Macc:3:8 @ Nor was this unexpected uproar and sudden conflux of people unobserved by the Greeks who lived in the city, concerning men who had never harmed them: yet to aid them was not in their power, since all was oppression around; but they encouraged them in their troubles, and expected a favourable turn of affairs:

bes@3Macc:3:22 @ All this, however, they have taken in a very different spirit. With their innate malignity, they have spurned the fair offer; and constantly inclining to evil,

bes@3Macc:3:25 @ As soon, therefore, as the contents of this letter become known to you, in that same hour we order those who dwell among you, with wives and children, to be sent to us, vilified and abused, in chains of iron, to undergo a death, cruel and ignominious, suitable to men disaffected.

bes@3Macc:4:1 @ Wherever this decree was received, the people kept up a revelry of joy and shouting; as if their long-pent-up, hardened hatred, were now to shew itself openly.

bes@3Macc:4:4 @ They were sent out unanimously by the generals in the several cities, with such stern and pitiless feeling, that the exceptional nature of the infliction moved even some of their enemies. These, influenced by sentiments of common humanity, and reflecting upon the uncertain issue of life, shed tears at this their miserable expulsion.

bes@3Macc:4:11 @ They were conveyed accordingly in this vessel, and at the end of it arrived at Schedia. The king had ordered them to be cast into the vast hippodrome, which was built in front of the city. This place was well adapted by its situation to expose them to the gaze of all comers into the city, and of those who went from the city into the country. Thus they could hold no communication with his forces; nay, were deemed unworthy of any civilized accommodation.

bes@3Macc:4:12 @ When this was done, the king, hearing that their brethren in the city often went out and lamented the melancholy distress of these victims,

bes@3Macc:4:21 @ Now this was an active interference of the unconquerable Providence which assisted the Jews from heaven.

bes@3Macc:5:12 @ By this sweet and profound influence of the Lord he was held fast, and thus his unjust purpose was quite frustrated, and his unflinching resolve greatly falsified.

bes@3Macc:5:16 @ The kind listened to this, and then turning aside to his potations, commanded the guests to sit down before him.

bes@3Macc:5:17 @ This done, he asked them to enjoy themselves, and to indulge in mirth at this somewhat late hour of the banquet.

bes@3Macc:5:19 @ Hermon explained that he had done his bidding over night; and in this he was confirmed by his friends.

bes@3Macc:5:21 @ When the king said this, the company present were glad, and approved; and then each man went to his own home.

bes@3Macc:5:27 @ The king, receiving him, was astonished at his unwonted exit; and, overwhelmed with a spirit of oblivion about everything, enquired the object of this earnest preparation.

bes@3Macc:5:28 @ But this was the wroking of that Almighty God who had made him forget all his purpose.

bes@3Macc:5:33 @ Hermon, being threatened in this unexpected and alarming manner, was troubled in visage, and depressed in countenance.

bes@3Macc:5:35 @ The Jews, having heard of these events, praised the glorious God and King of kings, because they had obtained this help, too, from him.

bes@3Macc:5:40 @ O king, how long dost thou make trial of us, as of men bereft of reason? This is the third time that thou hast ordered their destruction. When the thing is to be done, thou changest thy mind, and recallest thy instructions.

bes@3Macc:5:41 @ For this cause the feeling of expectation causes tumult in the city: it swarms with factions; and is continually on the point of being plundered.

bes@3Macc:6:4 @ Thou destroyedst Pharaoh, with his hosts of chariots, when that lord of this same Egypt was uplifted with lawless hardihood and loud-sounding tongue. Shedding the beams of thy mercy upon the race of Israel, thou didst overwhelm him with his proud army.

bes@3Macc:6:15 @ Let it be shewn to all the nations that thou art with us, O Lord, and hast not turned thy face away from us; but as thou saidst that thou wouldst not forget them even in the land of their enemies, so do thou fulfil this saying, O Lord.

bes@3Macc:6:17 @ When the Jews saw this, they uttered a loud cry to heaven, so that the adjacent valleys resounded, and caused an irrepressible lamentation throughout the army.

bes@3Macc:6:39 @ The Ruler over all did during this time manifest forth his mercy gloriously, and did deliver them all together unharmed.

bes@3Macc:7:4 @ They pretended that our affairs would never be in a good state till this took place. Such, they said, was the hatred borne by the Jews to all other people.

bes@3Macc:7:6 @ For this cause we severely threatened them; yet, with the clemency which we are wont to extend to all men, we at length permitted them to live. Finding that the God of heaven cast a shield of protection over the Jews so as to preserve them, and that he fought for them as a father always fights for his sons;

bes@3Macc:7:10 @ When they had received this letter, they were not forward to depart immediately. They petitioned the king to be allowed to inflict fitting punishment upon those of their race who had willingly transgressed the holy god, and the law of God.

bes@3Macc:7:12 @ The king admitted the truth of this reasoning, and commended them. Full power was given them, without warrant or special commission, to destroy those who had transgressed the law of God boldly in every part of the king's dominions.

bes@3Macc:7:15 @ slaying thus, in that day, above three hundred men, and esteeming this destruction of the wicked a season of joy.

bes@4Macc:1:9 @ For all these, contemning pains even unto death, by this contempt, demonstrated that reasoning has command over the passions.

bes@4Macc:1:10 @ For their virtues, then, it is right that I should commend those men who died with their mother at this time in behalf of rectitude; and for their honours, I may count them happy.

bes@4Macc:1:17 @ And this is contained in the education of the law; by means of which we learn divine things reverently, and human things profitably.

bes@4Macc:2:2 @ on this ground, therefore, the temperate Joseph is praised in that by reasoning, he subdued, on reflection, the indulgence of sense.

bes@4Macc:2:16 @ For the temperate understanding repels all these malignant passions, as it does wrath: for it masters even this.

bes@4Macc:2:23 @ And He gave a law to this mind, by living according to which it will maintain a temperate, and just, and good, and manly reign.

bes@4Macc:3:6 @ And this may be more clearly comprehended from the thirst of king David.

bes@4Macc:3:12 @ Wherefore his body-guards being troubled at this longing of the king, two valiant young soldiers, reverencing the desire of the king, put on their panoplies, and taking a pitcher, got over the ramparts of the enemies:

bes@4Macc:4:4 @ Apollonius, acquainting himself with the particulars of this, praised Simon for his care of the king's interests, and going up to Seleucus informed him of the treasure;

bes@4Macc:4:7 @ And the nation, indignant at this proclamation, and replying to the effect that it was extremely unfair that those who had committed deposits to the sacred treasury should be deprived of them, resisted as well as they could.

bes@4Macc:4:17 @ who had made a covenant, if he would give him this authority, to pay yearly three thousand six hundred and sixty talents.

bes@4Macc:4:26 @ When, therefore, his decrees were disregarded by the people, he himself compelled by means of tortures every one of this race, by tasting forbidden meats, to abjure the Jewish religion.

bes@4Macc:5:4 @ And when many had been seized, a foremost man of the assembly, a Hebrew, by name Eleazar, a priest by family, by profession a lawyer, and advanced in years, and for this reason known to many of the king's followers, was brought near to him.

bes@4Macc:5:7 @ For wherefore, since nature has conferred upon you the most excellent flesh of this animal, do you loathe it?

bes@4Macc:5:13 @ For, bear in mind, that if there be any power which watches over this religion of yours, it will pardon you for all transgressions of the law which you commit through compulsion.

bes@4Macc:5:14 @ While the tyrant incited him in this manner to the unlawful eating of flesh, Eleazar begged permission to speak.

bes@4Macc:5:25 @ Wherefore it is that we eat not the unclean; for believing that the law was established by God, we are convinced that the Creator of the world, in giving his laws, sympathises with our nature.

bes@4Macc:5:28 @ but thou shalt not have this cause of laughter against me;

bes@4Macc:6:1 @ When Eleazar had in this manner answered the exhortations of the tyrant, the spearbearers came up, and rudely haled Eleazar to the instruments of torture.

bes@4Macc:6:32 @ For had the passions been superior to reasoning, I would have given them the witness of this mastery.

bes@4Macc:7:20 @ This circumstance, then, is by no means an objection, that some who have weak reasoning, are governed by their passions:

bes@4Macc:8:2 @ The tyrant having given this charge, seven brethren were brought into his presence, along with their aged mother, handsome, and modest, and well-born, and altogether comely.

bes@4Macc:8:10 @ Will you not reason upon this--that if you disobey, there will be nothing left for you but to die in tortures?

bes@4Macc:8:18 @ Shall we not fear, O brethren, the instruments of torture and weigh the threatenings of torment and shun this vain-glory and destructive pride?

bes@4Macc:8:22 @ Why withdraw ourselves from a most sweet life, and deprive ourselves of this pleasant world?

bes@4Macc:8:26 @ But nothing of this kind did the young men say or think when about to be tortured.

bes@4Macc:9:8 @ For we through this ill-treatment and endurance shall bear off the rewards of virtue.

bes@4Macc:9:13 @ And the noble youth, extended upon this, became dislocated.

bes@4Macc:9:19 @ While he was saying this, they heaped up fuel, and setting fire to it, strained him upon the wheel still more.

bes@4Macc:9:25 @ And saying this, the revered youth abruptly closed his life.

bes@4Macc:9:28 @ after they with the iron hands had violently dragged all the flesh from the neck to the chin, the panther-like beasts tore off the very skin of his head: but he, bearing with firmness this misery, said,

bes@4Macc:10:1 @ Now this one, having endured this praiseworthy death, the third was brought along, and exhorted by many to taste and save his life.

bes@4Macc:10:10 @ We, O accursed tyrant, suffer this for the sake of Divine education and virtue.

bes@4Macc:10:17 @ When he had said this, the blood-thirsty, and murderous, and unhallowed Antiochus ordered his tongue to be cut out.

bes@4Macc:11:6 @ But this is worthy of honours, not torments;

bes@4Macc:11:9 @ As he said this, the spearbearers bound him, and drew him to the catapelt:

bes@4Macc:11:17 @ As he said this, they brought him to the wheel.

bes@4Macc:11:27 @ For the guards not of a tyrant but of a divine law are our defenders: through this we keep our reasoning unconquered.

bes@4Macc:13:22 @ and increase the more powerfully by reason of this simultaneous rearing, and by daily intercourse, and by other education, and exercise in the law of God.

bes@4Macc:13:24 @ For being educated in the same law, and practising the same virtues, and reared up in a just course of life, they increased this harmony with each other.

bes@4Macc:14:1 @ And more that this, they even urged them on to this ill-treatment; so that they not only despised pains themselves, but they even got the better of their affections of brotherly love.

bes@4Macc:14:17 @ And if not able to do this, they fly circling round them in agony of affection, calling out in their own note, and save their offspring in whatever manner they are able.

bes@4Macc:15:16 @ O thou mother, who wast tried at this time with bitterer pangs than those of parturition!

bes@4Macc:15:28 @ But this daughter of Abraham remembered his holy fortitude.

bes@4Macc:16:5 @ For we must consider also this: that, had the woman been faint hearted, as being their other, she would have lamented over them; and perhaps might have spoken thus:

bes@4Macc:16:11 @ Nor, should I die, shall I have a son to bury me. But with such a lament is this the holy and God-fearing mother bewailed none of them.

bes@4Macc:16:17 @ For it were disgraceful that this old man should endure pains for the sake of righteousness, and that you who are younger should be afraid of the tortures.

bes@4Macc:16:19 @ And on this second account ye ought to bear every affliction because of God.

bes@4Macc:16:25 @ And they saw this, too, that they who die for God, live to God; as Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the patriarchs.

bes@4Macc:17:20 @ These, therefore, having been sanctified through God, have been honoured not only with this honour, but that also by their means the enemy did not overcome our nation;

bes@4Macc:18:1 @ O Israelitish children, descendants of the seed of Abraham, obey this law, and in every way be religious.

bes@4Macc:18:19 @ This is our life, and the length of our days.

bes@1Esd:1:22 @ In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josias was this passover kept.

bes@1Esd:1:32 @ And in all Jewry they mourned for Josias, yea, Jeremy the prophet lamented for Josias, and the chief men with the women made lamentation for him unto this day: and this was given out for an ordinance to be done continually in all the nation of Israel.

bes@1Esd:2:13 @ And this was the number of them; A thousand golden cups, and a thousand of silver, censers of silver twenty nine, vials of gold thirty, and of silver two thousand four hundred and ten, and a thousand other vessels.

bes@1Esd:2:19 @ Now if this city and the walls thereof be made up again, they will not only refuse to give tribute, but also rebel against kings.

bes@1Esd:2:23 @ And that the Jews were rebellious, and raised always wars therein; for the which cause even this city was made desolate.

bes@1Esd:2:24 @ Wherefore now we do declare unto thee, O lord the king, that if this city be built again, and the walls thereof set up anew, thou shalt from henceforth have no passage into Celosyria and Phenice.

bes@1Esd:2:25 @ Then the king wrote back again to Rathumus the storywriter, to Beeltethmus, to Semellius the scribe, and to the rest that were in commission, and dwellers in Samaria and Syria and Phenice, after this manner;

bes@1Esd:4:13 @ Then the third, who had spoken of women, and of the truth, (this was Zorobabel) began to speak.

bes@1Esd:4:22 @ By this also ye must know that women have dominion over you: do ye not labour and toil, and give and bring all to the woman?

bes@1Esd:4:31 @ And yet for all this the king gaped and gazed upon her with open mouth: if she laughed upon him, he laughed also: but if she took any displeasure at him, the king was fain to flatter, that she might be reconciled to him again.

bes@1Esd:4:46 @ And now, O lord the king, this is that which I require, and which I desire of thee, and this is the princely liberality proceeding from thyself: I desire therefore that thou make good the vow, the performance whereof with thine own mouth thou hast vowed to the King of heaven.

bes@1Esd:4:58 @ Now when this young man was gone forth, he lifted up his face to heaven toward Jerusalem, and praised the King of heaven,

bes@1Esd:5:1 @ After this were the principal men of the families chosen according to their tribes, to go up with their wives and sons and daughters, with their menservants and maidservants, and their cattle.

bes@1Esd:5:63 @ Also of the priests and Levites, and of the chief of their families, the ancients who had seen the former house came to the building of this with weeping and great crying.

bes@1Esd:6:4 @ By whose appointment do ye build this house and this roof, and perform all the other things? and who are the workmen that perform these things?

bes@1Esd:6:11 @ Then asked we these elders, saying, By whose commandment build ye this house, and lay the foundations of these works?

bes@1Esd:6:13 @ So they gave us this answer, We are the servants of the Lord which made heaven and earth.

bes@1Esd:6:14 @ And as for this house, it was builded many years ago by a king of Israel great and strong, and was finished.

bes@1Esd:6:17 @ But in the first year that king Cyrus reigned over the country of Babylon Cyrus the king wrote to build up this house.

bes@1Esd:6:20 @ Then the same Sanabassarus, being come hither, laid the foundations of the house of the Lord at Jerusalem; and from that time to this being still a building, it is not yet fully ended.

bes@1Esd:8:3 @ This Esdras went up from Babylon, as a scribe, being very ready in the law of Moses, that was given by the God of Israel.

bes@1Esd:8:6 @ In the seventh year of the reign of Artaxerxes, in the fifth month, this was the king’s seventh year; for they went from Babylon in the first day of the first month, and came to Jerusalem, according to the prosperous journey which the Lord gave them.

bes@1Esd:8:8 @ Now the copy of the commission, which was written from Artaxerxes the king, and came to Esdras the priest and reader of the law of the Lord, is this that followeth;

bes@1Esd:8:22 @ I command you also, that ye require no tax, nor any other imposition, of any of the priests, or Levites, or holy singers, or porters, or ministers of the temple, or of any that have doings in this temple, and that no man have authority to impose any thing upon them.

bes@1Esd:8:70 @ For both they and their sons have married with their daughters, and the holy seed is mixed with the strange people of the land; and from the beginning of this matter the rulers and the great men have been partakers of this iniquity.

bes@1Esd:8:76 @ For ever since the time of our fathers we have been and are in great sin, even unto this day.

bes@1Esd:8:77 @ And for our sins and our fathers’ we with our brethren and our kings and our priests were given up unto the kings of the earth, to the sword, and to captivity, and for a prey with shame, unto this day.

bes@1Esd:8:89 @ O Lord of Israel, thou art true: for we are left a root this day.

bes@1Esd:8:95 @ Arise and put in execution: for to thee doth this matter appertain, and we will be with thee: do valiantly.

bes@1Esd:9:11 @ But forasmuch as the people are many, and it is foul weather, so that we cannot stand without, and this is not a work of a day or two, seeing our sin in these things is spread far:

bes@1Esd:9:13 @ And with them the rulers and judges of every place, till we turn away the wrath of the Lord from us for this matter.

bes@1Esd:9:14 @ Then Jonathan the son of Azael and Ezechias the son of Theocanus accordingly took this matter upon them: and Mosollam and Levis and Sabbatheus helped them.

bes@1Esd:9:50 @ This day is holy unto the Lord; (for they all wept when they heard the law:)

bes@1Esd:9:52 @ For this day is holy unto the Lord: and be not sorrowful; for the Lord will bring you to honour.

bes@1Esd:9:53 @ So the Levites published all things to the people, saying, This day is holy to the Lord; be not sorrowful.

bes@Sus:1:22 @ Then Susanna sighed, and said, I am straitened on every side: for if I do this thing, it is death unto me: and if I do it not I cannot escape your hands.

bes@Sus:1:36 @ And the elders said, As we walked in the garden alone, this woman came in with two maids, and shut the garden doors, and sent the maids away.

bes@Sus:1:38 @ Then we that stood in a corner of the garden, seeing this wickedness, ran unto them.

bes@Sus:1:40 @ But having taken this woman, we asked who the young man was, but she would not tell us: these things do we testify.

bes@Sus:1:46 @ Who cried with a loud voice, I am clear from the blood of this woman.

bes@Ps151:1:1 @ This Psalm is a genuine one of David, though supernumerary, composed when he fought in single combat with (note:)Alex. Goliath(:note) Goliad. - I was small among my brethren, and youngest in my father’s house: I tended my father’s sheep.

bes@BelTh:1:7 @ Then Daniel smiled, and said, O king, be not deceived: for this is but clay within, and brass without, and did never eat or drink any thing.

bes@BelTh:1:8 @ So the king was wroth, and called for his priests, and said unto them, If ye tell me not who this is that devoureth these expenses, ye shall die.

bes@BelTh:1:24 @ And the king said unto Daniel, Wilt thou also say that this is of brass? lo, he liveth, he eateth and drinketh; thou canst not say that he is no living god: therefore worship him.

bes@BelTh:1:26 @ But give me leave, O king, and I shall slay this dragon without sword or staff. The king said, I give thee leave.

bes@BelTh:1:27 @ Then Daniel took pitch, and fat, and hair, and did seethe them together, and made lumps thereof: this he put in the dragon’s mouth, and so the dragon burst in sunder: and Daniel said, Lo, these are the gods ye worship.
