bbe@Genesis:1:6 @And God said, Let there be a solid arch stretching over the waters, parting the waters from the waters.

bbe@Genesis:1:7 @And God made the arch for a division between the waters which were under the arch and those which were over it: and it was so.

bbe@Genesis:1:9 @And God said, Let the waters under the heaven come together in one place, and let the dry land be seen: and it was so.

bbe@Genesis:1:11 @And God said, Let grass come up on the earth, and plants producing seed, and fruit-trees giving fruit, in which is their seed, after their sort: and it was so.

bbe@Genesis:1:12 @And grass came up on the earth, and every plant producing seed of its sort, and every tree producing fruit, in which is its seed, of its sort: and God saw that it was good.

bbe@Genesis:1:15 @And let them be for lights in the arch of heaven to give light on the earth: and it was so.

bbe@Genesis:1:21 @And God made great sea-beasts, and every sort of living and moving thing with which the waters were full, and every sort of winged bird: and God saw that it was good.

bbe@Genesis:1:24 @And God said, Let the earth give birth to all sorts of living things, cattle and all things moving on the earth, and beasts of the earth after their sort: and it was so.

bbe@Genesis:1:25 @And God made the beast of the earth after its sort, and the cattle after their sort, and everything moving on the face of the earth after its sort: and God saw that it was good.

bbe@Genesis:1:30 @And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the air and every living thing moving on the face of the earth I have given every green plant for food: and it was so.

bbe@Genesis:2:7 @And the Lord God made man from the dust of the earth, breathing into him the breath of life: and man became a living soul.

bbe@Genesis:3:8 @And there came to them the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the evening wind: and the man and his wife went to a secret place among the trees of the garden, away from the eyes of the Lord God.

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

bbe@Genesis:3:23 @So the Lord God sent him out of the garden of Eden to be a worker on the earth from which he was taken.

bbe@Genesis:3:24 @So he sent the man out; and at the east of the garden of Eden he put winged ones and a flaming sword turning every way to keep the way to the tree of life.

bbe@Genesis:4:15 @And the Lord said, Truly, if Cain is put to death, seven lives will be taken for his. And the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one might put him to death.

bbe@Genesis:4:17 @And Cain had connection with his wife and she became with child and gave birth to Enoch: and he made a town, and gave the town the name of Enoch after his son.

bbe@Genesis:4:18 @And Enoch had a son Irad: and Irad became the father of Mehujael: and Mehujael became the father of Methushael: and Methushael became the father of Lamech.

bbe@Genesis:4:25 @And Adam had connection with his wife again, and she gave birth to a son to whom she gave the name of Seth: for she said, God has given me another seed in place of Abel, whom Cain put to death.

bbe@Genesis:4:26 @And Seth had a son, and he gave him the name of Enosh: at this time men first made use of the name of the Lord in worship.

bbe@Genesis:5:3 @Adam had been living for a hundred and thirty years when he had a son like himself, after his image, and gave him the name of Seth:

bbe@Genesis:5:4 @And after the birth of Seth, Adam went on living for eight hundred years, and had sons and daughters:

bbe@Genesis:5:7 @And he went on living after the birth of Enosh for eight hundred and seven years, and had sons and daughters:

bbe@Genesis:5:10 @And after the birth of Kenan, Enosh went on living for eight hundred and fifteen years, and had sons and daughters:

bbe@Genesis:5:13 @And after the birth of Mahalalel, Kenan went on living for eight hundred and forty years, and had sons and daughters:

bbe@Genesis:5:16 @And after the birth of Jared, Mahalalel went on living for eight hundred and thirty years, and had sons and daughters:

bbe@Genesis:5:19 @And Jared went on living after the birth of Enoch for eight hundred years, and had sons and daughters:

bbe@Genesis:5:22 @And after the birth of Methuselah, Enoch went on in God's ways for three hundred years, and had sons and daughters:

bbe@Genesis:5:26 @And after the birth of Lamech, Methuselah went on living for seven hundred and eighty-two years, and had sons and daughters:

bbe@Genesis:5:28 @And Lamech was a hundred and eighty-two years old when he had a son:

bbe@Genesis:5:30 @And after the birth of Noah, Lamech went on living for five hundred and ninety-five years, and had sons and daughters:

bbe@Genesis:6:2 @The sons of God saw that the daughters of men were fair; and they took wives for themselves from those who were pleasing to them.

bbe@Genesis:6:3 @And the Lord said, My spirit will not be in man for ever, for he is only flesh; so the days of his life will be a hundred and twenty years.

bbe@Genesis:6:4 @There were men of great strength and size on the earth in those days; and after that, when the sons of God had connection with the daughters of men, they gave birth to children: these were the great men of old days, the men of great name.

bbe@Genesis:6:6 @And the Lord had sorrow because he had made man on the earth, and grief was in his heart.

bbe@Genesis:6:7 @And the Lord said, I will take away man, whom I have made, from the face of the earth, even man and beast and that which goes on the earth and every bird of the air; for I have sorrow for having made them.

bbe@Genesis:6:10 @And Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

bbe@Genesis:6:18 @But with you I will make an agreement; and you will come into the ark, you and your sons and your wife and your sons' wives with you.

bbe@Genesis:6:19 @And you will take with you into the ark two of every sort of living thing, and keep them safe with you; they will be male and female.

bbe@Genesis:6:20 @Two of every sort of bird and cattle and of every sort of living thing which goes on the earth will you take with you to keep them from destruction.

bbe@Genesis:6:21 @And make a store of every sort of food for yourself and them.

bbe@Genesis:6:22 @And all these things Noah did; as God said, so he did.

bbe@Genesis:7:3 @And of the birds of the air, seven males and seven females, so that their seed may still be living on the face of the earth.

bbe@Genesis:7:7 @And Noah, with his sons and his wife and his sons' wives, went into the ark because of the flowing of the waters.

bbe@Genesis:7:13 @On the same day Noah, with Shem, Ham, and Japheth, his sons, and his wife and his sons' wives, went into the ark;

bbe@Genesis:7:14 @And with them, every sort of beast and cattle, and every sort of thing which goes on the earth, and every sort of bird.

bbe@Genesis:7:17 @And for forty days the waters were over all the earth; and the waters were increased so that the ark was lifted up high over the earth.

bbe@Genesis:8:11 @And the dove came back at evening, and in her mouth was an olive-leaf broken off: so Noah was certain that the waters had gone down on the earth.

bbe@Genesis:8:16 @Go out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and your sons' wives.

bbe@Genesis:8:17 @Take out with you every living thing which is with you, birds and cattle and everything which goes on the earth, so that they may have offspring and be fertile and be increased on the earth.

bbe@Genesis:8:18 @And Noah went out with his sons and his wife and his sons' wives;

bbe@Genesis:8:19 @And every beast and bird and every living thing of every sort which goes on the earth, went out of the ark.

bbe@Genesis:9:1 @And God gave his blessing to Noah and his sons, and said, Be fertile, and have increase, and make the earth full.

bbe@Genesis:9:8 @And God said to Noah and to his sons,

bbe@Genesis:9:18 @And the sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and Ham is the father of Canaan.

bbe@Genesis:9:19 @These three were the sons of Noah and from them all the earth was peopled.

bbe@Genesis:9:23 @And Shem and Japheth took a robe, and putting it on their backs went in with their faces turned away, and put it over their father so that they might not see him unclothed.

bbe@Genesis:9:24 @And, awaking from his wine, Noah saw what his youngest son had done to him, and he said,

bbe@Genesis:10:1 @Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: these are the sons which they had after the great flow of waters

bbe@Genesis:10:2 @The sons of Japheth: Gomer and Magog and Madai and Javan and Tubal and Meshech and Tiras.

bbe@Genesis:10:3 @And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz and Riphath and Togarmah.

bbe@Genesis:10:4 @And the sons of Javan: Elishah and Tarshish, the Kittim and the Dodanim.

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

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

bbe@Genesis:10:9 @He was a very great bowman, so that there is a saying, Like Nimrod, a very great bowman

bbe@Genesis:10:15 @And Canaan was the father of Zidon, who was his oldest son, and Heth,

bbe@Genesis:10:19 @Their country stretching from Zidon to Gaza, in the direction of Gerar; and to Lasha, in the direction of Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim.

bbe@Genesis:10:21 @And Shem, the older brother of Japheth, the father of the children of Eber, had other sons in addition.

bbe@Genesis:10:22 @These are the sons of Shem: Elam and Asshur and Arpachshad and Lud and Aram.

bbe@Genesis:10:23 @And the sons of Aram: Uz and Hul and Gether and Mash.

bbe@Genesis:10:25 @And Eber had two sons: the name of the one was Peleg, because in his time the peoples of the earth became separate; and his brother's name was Joktan.

bbe@Genesis:10:29 @And Ophir and Havilah and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan.

bbe@Genesis:10:32 @These are the families of the sons of Noah, in the order of their generations and their nations: from these came all the nations of the earth after the great flow of waters.

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

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

bbe@Genesis:11:8 @So the Lord God sent them away into every part of the earth: and they gave up building their town.

bbe@Genesis:11:9 @So it was named Babel, because there the Lord took away the sense of all languages and from there the Lord sent them away over all the face of the earth.

bbe@Genesis:11:11 @And after the birth of Arpachshad, Shem went on living for five hundred years, and had sons and daughters:

bbe@Genesis:11:13 @And after the birth of Shelah, Arpachshad went on living for four hundred and three years, and had sons and daughters:

bbe@Genesis:11:15 @And after the birth of Eber, Shelah went on living for four hundred and three years, and had sons and daughters:

bbe@Genesis:11:17 @And after the birth of Peleg, Eber went on living for four hundred and thirty years, and had sons and daughters:

bbe@Genesis:11:19 @And after the birth of Reu, Peleg went on living for two hundred and nine years, and had sons and daughters:

bbe@Genesis:11:21 @And after the birth of Serug, Reu went on living for two hundred and seven years, and had sons and daughters:

bbe@Genesis:11:23 @And after the birth of Nahor, Serug went on living for two hundred years, and had sons and daughters:

bbe@Genesis:11:25 @And after the birth of Terah, Nahor went on living for a hundred and nineteen years, and had sons and daughters:

bbe@Genesis:11:31 @And Terah took Abram, his son, and Lot, the son of Haran, and Sarai, his daughter-in-law, the wife of his son Abram and they went out from Ur of the Chaldees, to go to the land of Canaan; and they came to Haran, and were there for some time.

bbe@Genesis:12:4 @So Abram went as the Lord had said to him, and Lot went with him: Abram was seventy-five years old when he went away from Haran.

bbe@Genesis:12:5 @And Abram took Sarai, his wife, and Lot, his brother's son, and all their goods and the servants which they had got in Haran, and they went out to go to the land of Canaan.

bbe@Genesis:12:9 @And he went on, journeying still to the South.

bbe@Genesis:12:13 @Say, then, that you are my sister, and so it will be well with me because of you, and my life will be kept safe on your account

bbe@Genesis:12:14 @And so it was that when Abram came into Egypt, the men of Egypt, looking on the woman, saw that she was fair.

bbe@Genesis:12:19 @Why did you say that she was your sister? so that I took her for my wife: now, take your wife and go on your way.

bbe@Genesis:13:1 @And Abram went up out of Egypt with his wife and all he had, and Lot with him, and they came in to the South.

bbe@Genesis:13:3 @And travelling on from the South, he came to Beth-el, to the place where his tent had been before, between Beth-el and Ai;

bbe@Genesis:13:6 @So that the land was not wide enough for the two of them: their property was so great that there was not room for them together.

bbe@Genesis:13:10 @And Lot, lifting up his eyes and looking an the valley of Jordan, saw that it was well watered everywhere, before the Lord had sent destruction on Sodom and Gomorrah; it was like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, on the way to Zoar.

bbe@Genesis:13:11 @So Lot took for himself all the valley of Jordan, and went to the east, and they were parted from one another.

bbe@Genesis:13:12 @Abram went on living in the land of Canaan, and Lot went to the lowland towns, moving his tent as far as Sodom.

bbe@Genesis:13:13 @Now the men of Sodom were evil, and great sinners before the Lord.

bbe@Genesis:13:14 @And the Lord had said to Abram, after Lot was parted from him, From this place where you are take a look to the north and to the south, to the east and to the west:

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

bbe@Genesis:14:2 @They made war with Bera, king of Sodom, and with Birsha, king of Gomorrah, Shinab, king of Admah, and Shemeber, king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (which is Zoar).

bbe@Genesis:14:8 @And the king of Sodom with the king of Gomorrah and the king of Admah and the king of Zeboiim and the king of Bela (that is Zoar), went out, and put their forces in position in the valley of Siddim,

bbe@Genesis:14:10 @Now the valley of Siddim was full of holes of sticky earth; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah were put to flight and came to their end there, but the rest got away to the mountain.

bbe@Genesis:14:11 @And the four kings took all the goods and food from Sodom and Gomorrah and went on their way.

bbe@Genesis:14:12 @And in addition they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who was living in Sodom, and all his goods.

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

bbe@Genesis:14:16 @And he got back all the goods, and Lot, his brother's son, with his goods and the women and the people.

bbe@Genesis:14:17 @And when he was coming back after putting to flight Chedorlaomer and the other kings, he had a meeting with the king of Sodom in the valley of Shaveh, that is, the King's Valley

bbe@Genesis:14:21 @And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the prisoners and take the goods for yourself.

bbe@Genesis:14:22 @But Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have taken an oath to the Lord, the Most High God, maker of heaven and earth,

bbe@Genesis:14:23 @That I will not take so much as a thread or the cord of a shoe of yours; so that you may not say, I have given wealth to Abram:

bbe@Genesis:15:4 @Then said the Lord, This man will not get the heritage, but a son of your body will have your property after you.

bbe@Genesis:15:5 @And he took him out into the open air, and said to him, Let your eyes be lifted to heaven, and see if the stars may be numbered; even so will your seed be.

bbe@Genesis:16:3 @So after Abram had been living for ten years in the land of Canaan, Sarai took Hagar, her Egyptian servant, and gave her to Abram for his wife.

bbe@Genesis:16:6 @And Abram said, The woman is in your power; do with her whatever seems good to you. And Sarai was cruel to her, so that she went running away from her.

bbe@Genesis:16:10 @And the angel of the Lord said, Your seed will be greatly increased so that it may not be numbered.

bbe@Genesis:16:11 @And the angel of the Lord said, See, you are with child and will give birth to a son, to whom you will give the name Ishmael, because the ears of the Lord were open to your sorrow.

bbe@Genesis:16:14 @So that fountain was named, Fountain of Life and Vision: it is between Kadesh and Bered.

bbe@Genesis:16:15 @And Hagar gave birth to a child, the son of Abram, to whom Abram gave the name of Ishmael.

bbe@Genesis:17:6 @I will make you very fertile, so that nations will come from you and kings will be your offspring.

bbe@Genesis:17:12 @Every male among you, from one generation to another, is to undergo circumcision when he is eight days old, with every servant whose birth takes place in your house, or for whom you gave money to someone of another country, and not of your seed.

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

bbe@Genesis:17:16 @And I will give her a blessing so that you will have a son by her: truly my blessing will be on her, and she will be the mother of nations: kings of peoples will be her offspring.

bbe@Genesis:17:19 @And God said, Not so; but Sarah, your wife, will have a son, and you will give him the name Isaac, and I will make my agreement with him for ever and with his seed after him.

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

bbe@Genesis:17:25 @And Ishmael, his son, was thirteen years old when he underwent circumcision.

bbe@Genesis:17:26 @Abraham and Ishmael, his son, underwent circumcision on that very day.

bbe@Genesis:18:5 @And let me get a bit of bread to keep up your strength, and after that you may go on your way: for this is why you have come to your servant. And they said, Let it be so.

bbe@Genesis:18:7 @And running to the herd, he took a young ox, soft and fat, and gave it to the servant and he quickly made it ready;

bbe@Genesis:18:10 @And he said, I will certainly come back to you in the spring, and Sarah your wife will have a son

bbe@Genesis:18:16 @And the men went on from there in the direction of Sodom; and Abraham went with them on their way.

bbe@Genesis:18:19 @For I have made him mine so that he may give orders to his children and those of his line after him, to keep the ways of the Lord, to do what is good and right: so that the Lord may do to Abraham as he has said.

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

bbe@Genesis:18:22 @And the men, turning from that place, went on to Sodom: but Abraham was still waiting before the Lord.

bbe@Genesis:19:1 @And at nightfall the two angels came to Sodom; and Lot was seated at the way into the town: and when he saw them he got up and came before them, falling down on his face to the earth.

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

bbe@Genesis:19:3 @But he made his request more strongly, so they went with him into his house; and he got food ready for them, and made unleavened bread, of which they took.

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

bbe@Genesis:19:5 @And crying out to Lot, they said, Where are the men who came to your house this night? Send them out to us, so that we may take our pleasure with them.

bbe@Genesis:19:8 @See now, I have two unmarried daughters; I will send them out to you so that you may do to them whatever seems good to you: only do nothing to these men, for this is why they have come under the shade of my roof.

bbe@Genesis:19:11 @But the men who were outside the door they made blind, all of them, small and great, so that they were tired out with looking for the door.

bbe@Genesis:19:12 @Then the men said to Lot, Are there any others of your family here? sons-in-law or sons or daughters, take them all out of this place;

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

bbe@Genesis:19:18 @And Lot said to them, Not so, O my Lord;

bbe@Genesis:19:20 @This town, now, is near, and it is a little one: O, let me go there (is it not a little one?) so that my life may be safe.

bbe@Genesis:19:22 @Go there quickly, for I am not able to do anything till you have come there. For this reason, the town was named Zoar.

bbe@Genesis:19:24 @Then the Lord sent fire and flaming smoke raining down from heaven on Sodom and Gomorrah.

bbe@Genesis:19:28 @And looking in the direction of Sodom and Gomorrah and the lowland, he saw the smoke of the land going up like the smoke of an oven.

bbe@Genesis:19:29 @So it came about that when God sent destruction on the towns of the lowland, he kept his word to Abraham, and sent Lot safely away when he put an end to the towns where he was living.

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

bbe@Genesis:19:34 @And on the day after, the older daughter said to the younger, Last night I was with my father; let us make him take much wine this night again, and do you go to him, so that we may have offspring by our father.

bbe@Genesis:19:36 @And so the two daughters of Lot were with child by their father.

bbe@Genesis:19:37 @And the older daughter had a son, and she gave him the name Moab: he is the father of the Moabites to this day.

bbe@Genesis:19:38 @And the younger had a son and gave him the name Ben-ammi: from him come the children of Ammon to this day.

bbe@Genesis:20:1 @And Abraham went on his way from there to the land of the South, and was living between Kadesh and Shur, in Gerar.

bbe@Genesis:20:6 @And God said to him in the dream, I see that you have done this with an upright heart, and I have kept you from sinning against me: for this reason I did not let you come near her.

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

bbe@Genesis:20:8 @So Abimelech got up early in the morning and sent for all his servants and gave them word of these things, and they were full of fear.

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

bbe@Genesis:20:16 @And he said to Sarah, See, I have given to your brother a thousand bits of silver so that your wrong may be put right; now your honour is clear in the eyes of all.

bbe@Genesis:20:17 @Then Abraham made prayer to God, and God made Abimelech well again, and his wife and his women-servants, so that they had children.

bbe@Genesis:21:2 @And Sarah became with child, and gave Abraham a son when he was old, at the time named by God.

bbe@Genesis:21:3 @And Abraham gave to his son, to whom Sarah had given birth, the name Isaac.

bbe@Genesis:21:4 @And when his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham made him undergo circumcision, as God had said to him.

bbe@Genesis:21:7 @And she said, Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would have a child at her breast? for see, I have given him a son now when he is old.

bbe@Genesis:21:9 @And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian playing with Isaac.

bbe@Genesis:21:10 @So she said to Abraham, Send away that woman and her son: for the son of that woman is not to have a part in the heritage with my son Isaac.

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

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

bbe@Genesis:21:14 @And early in the morning Abraham got up, and gave Hagar some bread and a water-skin, and put the boy on her back, and sent her away: and she went, wandering in the waste land of Beer-sheba

bbe@Genesis:21:16 @And she went some distance away, about an arrow flight, and seating herself on the earth, she gave way to bitter weeping, saying, Let me not see the death of my child.

bbe@Genesis:21:23 @Now, then, give me your oath, in the name of God, that you will not be false to me or to my sons after me, but that as I have been good to you, so you will be to me and to this land where you have been living.

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

bbe@Genesis:21:32 @So they made an agreement at Beer-sheba, and Abimelech and Phicol, the captain of his army, went back to the land of the Philistines.

bbe@Genesis:22:2 @And he said to him, Take your son, your dearly loved only son Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah and give him as a burned offering on one of the mountains of which I will give you knowledge.

bbe@Genesis:22:3 @And Abraham got up early in the morning, and made ready his ass, and took with him two of his young men and Isaac, his son, and after the wood for the burned offering had been cut, he went on his way to the place of which God had given him word.

bbe@Genesis:22:6 @And Abraham put the wood for the burned offering on his son's back, and he himself took the fire and the knife in his hand, and the two of them went on together.

bbe@Genesis:22:7 @Then Isaac said to Abraham, My father; and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, We have wood and fire here, but where is the lamb for the burned offering?

bbe@Genesis:22:8 @And Abraham said, God himself will give the lamb for the burned offering: so they went on together.

bbe@Genesis:22:9 @And they came to the place of which God had given him knowledge; and there Abraham made the altar and put the wood in place on it, and having made tight the bands round Isaac his son, he put him on the wood on the altar.

bbe@Genesis:22:10 @And stretching out his hand, Abraham took the knife to put his son to death.

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

bbe@Genesis:22:13 @And lifting up his eyes, Abraham saw a sheep fixed by its horns in the brushwood: and Abraham took the sheep and made a burned offering of it in place of his son.

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

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

bbe@Genesis:23:4 @I am living among you as one from a strange country: give me some land here as my property, so that I may put my dead to rest.

bbe@Genesis:23:8 @And he said to them, If you will let me put my dead to rest here, make a request for me to Ephron, the son of Zohar,

bbe@Genesis:23:14 @So Ephron said to Abraham,

bbe@Genesis:23:15 @My lord, give ear to me: the value of the land is four hundred shekels; what is that between me and you? so put your dead to rest there.

bbe@Genesis:23:17 @So Ephron's field at Machpelah near Mamre, with the hollow in the rock and all the trees in the field and round it,

bbe@Genesis:24:3 @And take an oath by the Lord, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you will not get a wife for my son Isaac from the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I am living;

bbe@Genesis:24:4 @But that you will go into my country and to my relations and get a wife there for my son Isaac.

bbe@Genesis:24:5 @And the servant said, If by chance the woman will not come with me into this land, am I to take your son back again to the land from which you came?

bbe@Genesis:24:6 @And Abraham said, Take care that you do not let my son go back to that land.

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

bbe@Genesis:24:8 @And if the woman will not come with you, then you are free from this oath; only do not take my son back there.

bbe@Genesis:24:10 @And the servant took ten of his master's camels, and all sorts of good things of his master's, and went to Mesopotamia, to the town of Nahor.

bbe@Genesis:24:14 @Now, may the girl to whom I say, Let down your vessel and give me a drink, and who says in answer, Here is a drink for you and let me give water to your camels: may she be the one marked out by you for your servant Isaac: so may I be certain that you have been good to my master Abraham.

bbe@Genesis:24:15 @And even before his words were ended, Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah, who was the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, came out with her water-vessel on her arm.

bbe@Genesis:24:19 @And having done so, she said, I will get water for your camels till they have had enough.

bbe@Genesis:24:24 @And she said to him, I am the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah, Nahor's wife.

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

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

bbe@Genesis:24:36 @And when Sarah, my master's wife, was old, she gave birth to a son, to whom he has given all he has.

bbe@Genesis:24:37 @And my master made me take an oath, saying, Do not get a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I am living;

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

bbe@Genesis:24:40 @And he said, The Lord, whom I have ever kept before me, will send his angel with you, who will make it possible for you to get a wife for my son from my relations and my father's house;

bbe@Genesis:24:44 @Take a drink, and I will get water for your camels; let her be the woman marked out by the Lord for my master's son.

bbe@Genesis:24:47 @And questioning her, I said, Whose daughter are you? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, the son of Nahor, and Milcah his wife. Then I put the ring on her nose and the ornaments on her hands.

bbe@Genesis:24:48 @And with bent head I gave worship and praise to the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, by whom I had been guided in the right way, to get the daughter of my master's brother for his son.

bbe@Genesis:24:51 @See, here is Rebekah: take her and go, and let her be your master's son's wife, as the Lord has said.

bbe@Genesis:24:59 @So they sent their sister Rebekah and her servant with Abraham's servant and his men.

bbe@Genesis:24:61 @So Rebekah and her servant-women went with the man, seated on the camels; and so the servant took Rebekah and went on his way.

bbe@Genesis:24:62 @Now Isaac had come through the waste land to Beer-lahai-roi; for he was living in the South.

bbe@Genesis:25:6 @But to the sons of his other women he gave offerings, and sent them away, while he was still living, into the east country.

bbe@Genesis:25:9 @And Isaac and Ishmael, his sons, put him to rest in the hollow rock of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron, the son of Zohar the Hittite, near Mamre;

bbe@Genesis:25:11 @Now after the death of Abraham, the blessing of God was with Isaac, his son.

bbe@Genesis:25:12 @Now these are the generations of Ishmael, the son of Abraham, whose mother was Hagar the Egyptian, the servant of Sarah:

bbe@Genesis:25:13 @These are the names of the sons of Ishmael by their generations: Ishmael's first son was Nebaioth; then Kedar and Adbeel and Mibsam

bbe@Genesis:25:16 @These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names in their towns and their tent-circles; twelve chiefs with their peoples.

bbe@Genesis:25:19 @Now these are the generations of Abraham's son Isaac:

bbe@Genesis:25:22 @And the children were fighting together inside her, and she said, If it is to be so, why am I like this? So she went to put her question to the Lord.

bbe@Genesis:25:29 @And one day Jacob was cooking some soup when Esau came in from the fields in great need of food;

bbe@Genesis:25:30 @And Esau said to Jacob, Give me a full meal of that red soup, for I am overcome with need for food: for this reason he was named Edom.

bbe@Genesis:25:34 @Then Jacob gave him bread and soup; and he took food and drink and went away, caring little for his birthright.

bbe@Genesis:26:6 @So Isaac went on living in Gerar;

bbe@Genesis:26:8 @And when he had been there for some time, Abimelech, king of the Philistines, looking through a window, saw Isaac playing with Rebekah his wife.

bbe@Genesis:26:14 @For he had great wealth of flocks and herds and great numbers of servants; so that the Philistines were full of envy.

bbe@Genesis:26:17 @So Isaac went away from there, and put up his tents in the valley of Gerar, making his living-place there.

bbe@Genesis:26:20 @But the herdmen of Gerar had a fight with Isaac's herdmen, for they said, The spring is ours: so he gave the spring the name of Esek, because there was a fight about it.

bbe@Genesis:26:21 @Then they made another water-hole, and there was a fight about that, so he gave it the name of Sitnah.

bbe@Genesis:26:22 @Then he went away from there, and made another water-hole, about which there was no fighting: so he gave it the name of Rehoboth, for he said, Now the Lord has made room for us, and we will have fruit in this land.

bbe@Genesis:26:28 @And they said, We saw clearly that the Lord was with you: so we said, Let there be an oath between us and you, and let us make an agreement with you;

bbe@Genesis:26:33 @And he gave it the name of Shibah: so the name of that town is Beer-sheba to this day.

bbe@Genesis:27:1 @Now when Isaac was old and his eyes had become clouded so that he was not able to see, he sent for Esau, his first son, and said to him, My son: and he said, Here am I.

bbe@Genesis:27:3 @So take your arrows and your bow and go out to the field and get meat for me;

bbe@Genesis:27:4 @And make me food, good to the taste, such as is pleasing to me, and put it before me, so that I may have a meal and give you my blessing before death comes to me.

bbe@Genesis:27:5 @Now Isaac's words to his son were said in Rebekah's hearing. Then Esau went out to get the meat.

bbe@Genesis:27:6 @And Rebekah said to Jacob, her son, Your father said to your brother Esau in my hearing,

bbe@Genesis:27:7 @Go and get some roe's meat and make me a good meal, so that I may be full, and give you my blessing before the Lord before my death.

bbe@Genesis:27:8 @Now, my son, do what I say.

bbe@Genesis:27:10 @And you will take it to him, so that he may have a good meal and give you his blessing before his death.

bbe@Genesis:27:13 @And his mother said, Let the curse be on me, my son: only do as I say, and go and get them for me

bbe@Genesis:27:14 @So he went and got them and took them to his mother: and she made a meal to his father's taste.

bbe@Genesis:27:15 @And Rebekah took the fair robes of her oldest son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob, her younger son:

bbe@Genesis:27:17 @And she gave into the hand of Jacob, her son, the meat and the bread which she had made ready.

bbe@Genesis:27:18 @And he came to his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I: who are you, my son?

bbe@Genesis:27:19 @And Jacob said, I am Esau, your oldest son; I have done as you said: come now, be seated and take of my meat, so that you may give me a blessing.

bbe@Genesis:27:20 @And Isaac said, How is it that you have got it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the Lord your God made it come my way.

bbe@Genesis:27:21 @And Isaac said, Come near so that I may put my hand on you, my son, and see if you are truly my son Esau or not.

bbe@Genesis:27:23 @And he did not make out who he was, because his hands were covered with hair like his brother Esau's hands: so he gave him a blessing.

bbe@Genesis:27:24 @And he said, Are you truly my son Esau? And he said, I am.

bbe@Genesis:27:25 @And he said, Put it before me and I will take of my son's meat, so that I may give you a blessing. And he put it before him and he took it; and he gave him wine, and he had a drink.

bbe@Genesis:27:26 @And his father Isaac said to him, Come near now, my son, and give me a kiss.

bbe@Genesis:27:27 @And he came near and gave him a kiss; and smelling the smell of his clothing, he gave him a blessing, and said, See, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field on which the blessing of the Lord has come:

bbe@Genesis:27:29 @Let peoples be your servants, and nations go down before you: be lord over your brothers, and let your mother's sons go down before you: a curse be on everyone by whom you are cursed, and a blessing on those who give you a blessing.

bbe@Genesis:27:31 @And he made ready a meal, good to the taste, and took it to his father, and said to him, Let my father get up and take of his son's meat, so that you may give me a blessing.

bbe@Genesis:27:32 @And Isaac his father said to him, Who are you? And he said, I am your oldest son, Esau.

bbe@Genesis:27:37 @And Isaac answering said, But I have made him your master, and have given him all his brothers for servants; I have made him strong with grain and wine: what then am I to do for you, my son?

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

bbe@Genesis:27:42 @Then Rebekah, hearing what Esau had said, sent for Jacob, her younger son, and said to him, It seems that your brother Esau is purposing to put you to death.

bbe@Genesis:27:43 @So now, my son, do what I say: go quickly to Haran, to my brother Laban;

bbe@Genesis:28:3 @And may God, the Ruler of all, give you his blessing, giving you fruit and increase, so that you may become an army of peoples.

bbe@Genesis:28:4 @And may God give you the blessing of Abraham, to you and to your seed, so that the land of your wanderings, which God gave to Abraham, may be your heritage.

bbe@Genesis:28:5 @So Isaac sent Jacob away: and he went to Paddan-aram, to Laban, son of Bethuel the Aramaean, the brother of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau.

bbe@Genesis:28:6 @So when Esau saw that Isaac had given Jacob his blessing, and sent him away to Paddan-aram to get a wife for himself there, blessing him and saying to him, Do not take a wife from among the women of Canaan;

bbe@Genesis:28:9 @So Esau went to Ishmael and took Mahalath, the daughter of Abraham's son Ishmael, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife in addition to the wives he had.

bbe@Genesis:28:10 @So Jacob went out from Beer-sheba to go to Haran.

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

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

bbe@Genesis:29:5 @And he said to them, Have you any knowledge of Laban, the son of Nahor? And they said, We have.

bbe@Genesis:29:8 @And they said, We are not able to do so till all the flocks have come together and the stone has been rolled away from the mouth of the water-hole; then we will get water for the sheep.

bbe@Genesis:29:12 @And Rachel, hearing from Jacob that he was her father's relation and that he was the son of Rebekah, went running to give her father news of it.

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

bbe@Genesis:29:21 @Then Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife so that I may have her, for the days are ended.

bbe@Genesis:29:25 @And in the morning Jacob saw that it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What have you done to me? was I not working for you so that I might have Rachel? why have you been false to me?

bbe@Genesis:29:28 @And Jacob did so; and when the week was ended, Laban gave him his daughter Rachel for his wife.

bbe@Genesis:29:32 @And Leah was with child, and gave birth to a son to whom she gave the name Reuben: for she said, The Lord has seen my sorrow; now my husband will have love for me.

bbe@Genesis:29:33 @Then she became with child again, and gave birth to a son; and said, Because it has come to the Lord's ears that I am not loved, he has given me this son in addition: and she gave him the name Simeon.

bbe@Genesis:29:34 @And she was with child again, and gave birth to a son; and said, Now at last my husband will be united to me, because I have given him three sons: so he was named Levi.

bbe@Genesis:29:35 @And she was with child again, and gave birth to a son: and she said, This time I will give praise to the Lord: so he was named Judah; after this she had no more children for a time.

bbe@Genesis:30:3 @Then she said, Here is my servant Bilhah, go in to her, so that she may have a child on my knees, and I may have a family by her.

bbe@Genesis:30:4 @So she gave him her servant Bilhah as a wife, and Jacob went in to her.

bbe@Genesis:30:5 @And Bilhah became with child, and gave birth to a son.

bbe@Genesis:30:6 @Then Rachel said, God has been my judge, and has given ear to my voice, and has given me a son; so he was named Dan.

bbe@Genesis:30:7 @And again Bilhah, Rachel's servant, was with child, and gave birth to a second son.

bbe@Genesis:30:10 @And Zilpah, Leah's servant, gave birth to a son.

bbe@Genesis:30:12 @And Zilpah, Leah's servant, gave birth to a second son.

bbe@Genesis:30:14 @Now at the time of the grain-cutting, Reuben saw some love-fruits in the field, and took them to his mother Leah. And Rachel said to her, Let me have some of your son's love-fruits.

bbe@Genesis:30:15 @But Leah said to her, Is it a small thing that you have taken my husband from me? and now would you take my son's love-fruits? Then Rachel said, You may have him tonight in exchange for your son's love-fruits.

bbe@Genesis:30:16 @In the evening, when Jacob came in from the field, Leah went out to him and said, Tonight you are to come to me, for I have given my son's love-fruits as a price for you. And he went in to her that night.

bbe@Genesis:30:17 @And God gave ear to her and she became with child, and gave Jacob a fifth son.

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

bbe@Genesis:30:19 @And again Leah became with child, and she gave Jacob a sixth son

bbe@Genesis:30:20 @And she said, God has given me a good bride-price; now at last will I have my husband living with me, for I have given him six sons: and she gave him the name Zebulun.

bbe@Genesis:30:23 @And she was with child, and gave birth to a son: and she said, God has taken away my shame.

bbe@Genesis:30:24 @And she gave him the name Joseph, saying, May the Lord give me another son.

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

bbe@Genesis:30:30 @For before I came you had little, and it has been greatly increased; and the Lord has given you a blessing in everything I have done; but when am I to do something for my family?

bbe@Genesis:30:33 @And so you will be able to put my honour to the test in time to come; if you see among my flocks any goats which are not marked or coloured, or any sheep which is not black, you may take me for a thief.

bbe@Genesis:30:35 @So that day he took all the he-goats which were banded or coloured, and all the she-goats which were marked or coloured or had white marks, and all the black sheep, and gave them into the care of his sons;

bbe@Genesis:30:37 @Then Jacob took young branches of trees, cutting off the skin so that the white wood was seen in bands.

bbe@Genesis:30:41 @And whenever the stronger ones of the flock became with young, Jacob put the sticks in front of them in the drinking-places, so that they might become with young when they saw the sticks.

bbe@Genesis:30:42 @But when the flocks were feeble, he did not put the sticks before them; so that the feebler flocks were Laban's and the stronger were Jacob's.

bbe@Genesis:30:43 @So Jacob's wealth was greatly increased; he had great flocks and women-servants and men-servants and camels and asses.

bbe@Genesis:31:1 @Now it came to the ears of Jacob that Laban's sons were saying, Jacob has taken away all our father's property, and in this way he has got all this wealth.

bbe@Genesis:31:9 @So God has taken away your father's cattle and has given them to me.

bbe@Genesis:31:16 @For the wealth which God has taken from him is ours and our children's; so now, whatever God has said to you, do.

bbe@Genesis:31:17 @Then Jacob put his wives and his sons on camels;

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

bbe@Genesis:31:21 @So he went away with all he had, and went across the River in the direction of the hill-country of Gilead

bbe@Genesis:31:26 @And Laban said to Jacob, Why did you go away secretly, taking my daughters away like prisoners of war?

bbe@Genesis:31:27 @Why did you make a secret of your flight, not giving me word of it, so that I might have sent you away with joy and songs, with melody and music?

bbe@Genesis:31:28 @You did not even let me give a kiss to my sons and my daughters. This was a foolish thing to do.

bbe@Genesis:31:33 @So Laban went into Jacob's tent and into Leah's tent, and into the tents of the two servant-women, but they were not there; and he came out of Leah's tent and went into Rachel's.

bbe@Genesis:31:37 @Now that you have made search through all my goods, what have you seen which is yours? Make it clear now before my people and your people, so that they may be judges between us.

bbe@Genesis:31:46 @And Jacob said to his people, Get stones together; and they did so; and they had a meal there by the stones.

bbe@Genesis:31:48 @And Laban said, These stones are a witness between you and me today. For this reason its name was Galeed,

bbe@Genesis:31:54 @And Jacob made an offering on the mountain, and gave orders to his people to take food: so they had a meal and took their rest that night on the mountain.

bbe@Genesis:32:2 @And when he saw them he said, This is the army of God: so he gave that place the name of Mahanaim.

bbe@Genesis:32:5 @And I have oxen and asses and flocks and men-servants and women-servants: and I have sent to give my lord news of these things so that I may have grace in his eyes.

bbe@Genesis:32:10 @I am less than nothing in comparison with all your mercies and your faith to me your servant; for with only my stick in my hand I went across Jordan, and now I have become two armies.

bbe@Genesis:32:21 @So the servants with the offerings went on in front, and he himself took his rest that night in the tents with his people.

bbe@Genesis:32:25 @But when the man saw that he was not able to overcome Jacob, he gave him a blow in the hollow part of his leg, so that his leg was damaged.

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

bbe@Genesis:33:1 @Then Jacob, lifting up his eyes, saw Esau coming with his four hundred men. So he made a division of the children between Leah and Rachel and the two women-servants.

bbe@Genesis:33:8 @And he said, What were all those herds which I saw on the way? And Jacob said, They were an offering so that I might have grace in my lord's eyes.

bbe@Genesis:33:10 @And Jacob said, Not so; but if I have grace in your eyes, take them as a sign of my love, for I have seen your face as one may see the face of God, and you have been pleased with me.

bbe@Genesis:33:11 @Take my offering then, with my blessing; for God has been very good to me and I have enough: so at his strong request, he took it.

bbe@Genesis:33:15 @And Esau said, Then keep some of my men with you. And he said, What need is there for that, if my lord is pleased with me?

bbe@Genesis:33:16 @So Esau, turning back that day, went on his way to Seir.

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

bbe@Genesis:33:18 @So Jacob came safely from Paddan-aram to the town of Shechem in the land of Canaan, and put up his tents near the town.

bbe@Genesis:34:2 @And when Shechem, the son of Hamor the Hivite who was the chief of that land, saw her, he took her by force and had connection with her.

bbe@Genesis:34:5 @Now Jacob had word of what Shechem had done to his daughter; but his sons were in the fields with the cattle, and Jacob said nothing till they came.

bbe@Genesis:34:7 @Now the sons of Jacob came in from the fields when they had news of it, and they were wounded and very angry because of the shame he had done in Israel by having connection with Jacob's daughter; and they said, Such a thing is not to be done.

bbe@Genesis:34:8 @But Hamor said to them, Shechem, my son, is full of desire for your daughter: will you then give her to him for a wife?

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

bbe@Genesis:34:18 @And their words were pleasing to Hamor and his son Shechem.

bbe@Genesis:34:20 @Then Hamor and Shechem, his son, went to the meeting-place of their town, and said to the men of the town,

bbe@Genesis:34:23 @Then will not their cattle and their goods and all their beasts be ours? so let us come to an agreement with them so that they may go on living with us.

bbe@Genesis:34:24 @Then all the men of the town gave ear to the words of Hamor and Shechem his son; and every male in the town underwent circumcision.

bbe@Genesis:34:25 @But on the third day after, before the wounds were well, two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, took their swords and came into the town by surprise and put all the males to death.

bbe@Genesis:34:26 @And Hamor and his son they put to death with the sword, and they took Dinah from Shechem's house and went away.

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

bbe@Genesis:35:5 @So they went on their journey: and the fear of God was on the towns round about, so that they made no attack on the sons of Jacob.

bbe@Genesis:35:10 @Jacob is your name, but it will be so no longer; from now your name will be Israel; so he was named Israel.

bbe@Genesis:35:16 @So they went on from Beth-el; and while they were still some distance from Ephrath, the pains of birth came on Rachel and she had a hard time.

bbe@Genesis:35:17 @And when her pain was very great, the woman who was helping her said, Have no fear; for now you will have another son.

bbe@Genesis:35:19 @So Rachel came to her end and was put to rest on the road to Ephrath (which is Beth-lehem).

bbe@Genesis:35:23 @Now Jacob had twelve sons: the sons of Leah: Reuben, Jacob's first son, and Simeon and Levi and Judah and Issachar and Zebulun;

bbe@Genesis:35:24 @The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin;

bbe@Genesis:35:25 @The sons of Bilhah, Rachel's servant: Dan and Naphtali;

bbe@Genesis:35:26 @The sons of Zilpah, Leah's servant: Gad and Asher; these are the sons whom Jacob had in Paddan-aram.

bbe@Genesis:35:29 @Then Isaac came to his end and was put to rest with his father's people, an old man after a long life: and Jacob and Esau, his sons, put him in his last resting-place.

bbe@Genesis:36:4 @Adah had a son Eliphaz; and Basemath was the mother of Reuel;

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

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

bbe@Genesis:36:7 @For their wealth was so great that the land was not wide enough for the two of them and all their cattle.

bbe@Genesis:36:8 @So Esau made his living-place in the hill-country of Seir (Esau is Edom).

bbe@Genesis:36:10 @These are the names of Esau's sons: Eliphaz, the son of Esau's wife Adah, and Reuel, the son of Esau's wife Basemath.

bbe@Genesis:36:11 @The sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz.

bbe@Genesis:36:12 @And Eliphaz, the son of Esau, had connection with a woman named Timna, who gave birth to Amalek: all these were the children of Esau's wife Adah.

bbe@Genesis:36:13 @And these are the sons of Reuel: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah: they were the children of Esau's wife Basemath.

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

bbe@Genesis:36:15 @These were the chiefs among the sons of Esau: the sons of Eliphaz, Esau's first son: Teman, Omar, Zepho, Kenaz,

bbe@Genesis:36:17 @And these are the sons of Esau's son Reuel: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, Mizzah: these were the chiefs of Reuel in the land of Edom, the children of Esau's wife Basemath.

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

bbe@Genesis:36:19 @These were the sons of Esau (that is, Edom), and these were their chiefs.

bbe@Genesis:36:20 @These are the sons of Seir the Horite who were living in that country; Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah,

bbe@Genesis:36:32 @Bela, son of Beor, was king in Edom, and the name of his chief town was Dinhabah.

bbe@Genesis:36:33 @At his death, Jobab, son of Zerah of Bozrah, became king in his place.

bbe@Genesis:36:35 @And at the death of Husham, Hadad, son of Bedad, who overcame the Midianites in the field of Moab, became king; his chief town was named Avith.

bbe@Genesis:36:38 @And at the death of Shaul, Baal-hanan, son of Achbor, became king.

bbe@Genesis:37:2 @These are the generations of Jacob: Joseph, a boy seventeen years old, was looking after the flock, together with his brothers, the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father's wives; and Joseph gave their father a bad account of them.

bbe@Genesis:37:10 @And he gave word of it to his father and his brothers; but his father protesting said, What sort of a dream is this? am I and your mother and your brothers to go down on our faces to the earth before you?

bbe@Genesis:37:14 @And he said to him, Go now, and see if your brothers are well and how the flock is; then come back and give me word. So he sent him out of the valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.

bbe@Genesis:37:17 @And the man said, They have gone away from here, for they said in my hearing, Let us go to Dothan. So Joseph went after them and came up with them at Dothan.

bbe@Genesis:37:23 @So when Joseph came to his brothers, they took off his long coat which he had on;

bbe@Genesis:37:28 @And some traders from Midian went by; so pulling Joseph up out of the hole, they gave him to the Ishmaelites for twenty bits of silver, and they took him to Egypt.

bbe@Genesis:37:31 @Then they took Joseph's coat, and put on it some of the blood from a young goat which they had put to death,

bbe@Genesis:37:32 @And they took the coat to their father, and said, We came across this; is it your son's coat or not?

bbe@Genesis:37:33 @And he saw that it was, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast has put him to death; without doubt Joseph has come to a cruel end.

bbe@Genesis:37:34 @Then Jacob, giving signs of grief, put on haircloth, and went on weeping for his son day after day.

bbe@Genesis:37:35 @And all his sons and all his daughters came to give him comfort, but he would not be comforted, saying with weeping, I will go down to the underworld to my son. So great was his father's sorrow for him.

bbe@Genesis:38:3 @And she gave birth to a son, and he gave him the name Er.

bbe@Genesis:38:4 @And again she gave birth to a son, and he gave him the name Onan.

bbe@Genesis:38:5 @Then she had another son, to whom she gave the name Shelah; she was at Chezib when the birth took place.

bbe@Genesis:38:6 @And Judah took a wife for his first son Er, and her name was Tamar.

bbe@Genesis:38:7 @Now Er, Judah's first son, did evil in the eyes of the Lord, so that he put him to death.

bbe@Genesis:38:9 @But Onan, seeing that the offspring would not be his, went in to his brother's wife, but let his seed go on to the earth, so that he might not get offspring for his brother.

bbe@Genesis:38:10 @And what he did was evil in the eyes of the Lord, so that he put him to death, like his brother.

bbe@Genesis:38:11 @Then Judah said to Tamar, his daughter-in-law, Go back to your father's house and keep yourself as a widow till my son Shelah becomes a man: for he had in his mind the thought that death might come to him as it had come to his brothers. So Tamar went back to her father's house.

bbe@Genesis:38:18 @And he said, What would you have? And she said, Your ring and its cord and the stick in your hand. So he gave them to her and went in to her, and she became with child by him.

bbe@Genesis:38:22 @So he went back to Judah, and said, I have not seen her, and the men of the place say that there is no such woman there.

bbe@Genesis:38:23 @And Judah said, Let her keep the things, so that we may not be shamed; I sent the young goat, but you did not see the woman.

bbe@Genesis:38:26 @Then Judah said openly that they were his, and said, She is more upright than I am, for I did not give her to Shelah my son. And he had no more connection with her.

bbe@Genesis:38:29 @But then he took his hand back again, and his brother came first to birth: and the woman said, What an opening you have made for yourself! So he was named Perez.

bbe@Genesis:39:9 @So that no one has more authority in this house than I have; he has kept nothing back from me but you, because you are his wife; how then may I do this great wrong, sinning against God?

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

bbe@Genesis:39:21 @But the Lord was with Joseph, and was good to him, and made the keeper of the prison his friend.

bbe@Genesis:39:22 @And the keeper of the prison put all the prisoners under Joseph's control, and he was responsible for whatever was done there.

bbe@Genesis:39:23 @And the keeper of the prison gave no attention to anything which was under his care, because the Lord was with him; and the Lord made everything he did go well.

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

bbe@Genesis:40:3 @And he put them in prison under the care of the captain of the army, in the same prison where Joseph himself was shut up.

bbe@Genesis:40:4 @And the captain put them in Joseph's care, and he did what was needed for them; and they were kept in prison for some time.

bbe@Genesis:40:5 @And these two had a dream on the same night; the chief wine-servant and the chief bread-maker of the king of Egypt, who were in prison, the two of them had dreams with a special sense.

bbe@Genesis:40:7 @And he said to the servants of Pharaoh who were in prison with him, Why are you looking so sad?

bbe@Genesis:40:14 @But keep me in mind when things go well for you, and be good to me and say a good word for me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison:

bbe@Genesis:40:15 @For truly I was taken by force from the land of the Hebrews; and I have done nothing for which I might be put in prison.

bbe@Genesis:40:17 @And in the top basket were all sorts of cooked meats for Pharaoh; and the birds were taking them out of the baskets on my head.

bbe@Genesis:40:19 @After three days Pharaoh will take you out of prison, hanging you on a tree, so that your flesh will be food for birds.

bbe@Genesis:41:10 @Pharaoh had been angry with his servants, and had put me in prison in the house of the captain of the army, together with the chief bread-maker;

bbe@Genesis:41:14 @Then Pharaoh sent for Joseph, and they took him quickly out of prison; and when his hair had been cut and his dress changed, he came before Pharaoh.

bbe@Genesis:41:21 @And even with the fat cows inside them they seemed as bad as before. And so I came out of my sleep.

bbe@Genesis:41:36 @And let that food be kept in store for the land till the seven bad years which are to come in Egypt; so that the land may not come to destruction through need of food.

bbe@Genesis:41:43 @And he made him take his seat in the second of his carriages; and they went before him crying, Make way! So he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.

bbe@Genesis:41:45 @And Pharaoh gave Joseph the name of Zaphnath-paaneah; and he gave him Asenath, the daughter of Poti-phera, the priest of On, to be his wife. So Joseph went through all the land of Egypt.

bbe@Genesis:41:49 @So he got together a store of grain like the sand of the sea; so great a store that after a time he gave up measuring it, for it might not be measured.

bbe@Genesis:41:50 @And before the time of need, Joseph had two sons, to whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-phera, priest of On, gave birth.

bbe@Genesis:41:52 @And to the second he gave the name Ephraim, for he said, God has given me fruit in the land of my sorrow.

bbe@Genesis:41:53 @And so the seven good years in Egypt came to an end.

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

bbe@Genesis:42:1 @Now Jacob, hearing that there was grain in Egypt, said to his sons, Why are you looking at one another?

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

bbe@Genesis:42:3 @So Joseph's ten brothers went down to get grain from Egypt.

bbe@Genesis:42:4 @But Jacob did not send Benjamin, Joseph's brother, with them, for fear, as he said, that some evil might come to him.

bbe@Genesis:42:5 @And the sons of Israel came with all the others to get grain: for they were very short of food in the land of Canaan.

bbe@Genesis:42:10 @And they said to him, Not so, my lord: your servants have come with money to get food.

bbe@Genesis:42:11 @We are all one man's sons, we are true men; we have not come with any secret purpose.

bbe@Genesis:42:13 @Then they said, We your servants are twelve brothers, sons of one man in the land of Canaan; the youngest of us is now with our father, and one is dead.

bbe@Genesis:42:14 @And Joseph said, It is as I said; you have come with some secret purpose;

bbe@Genesis:42:16 @Send one of your number to get your brother, and the rest of you will be kept in prison, so that your words may be tested to see if you are true; if not, by the life of Pharaoh, your purpose is certainly secret.

bbe@Genesis:42:17 @So he put them in prison for three days.

bbe@Genesis:42:19 @If you are true men, let one of you be kept in prison, while you go and take grain for the needs of your families;

bbe@Genesis:42:20 @And come back to me with your youngest brother, so that your words may be seen to be true, and you will not be put to death. This is what you are to do.

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

bbe@Genesis:42:27 @Now at their night's resting-place one of them, opening his bag to give his ass some food, saw his money in the mouth of the bag.

bbe@Genesis:42:29 @So when they came to Jacob their father, in the land of Canaan, they gave him an account of all their experiences, saying,

bbe@Genesis:42:30 @The man who is the ruler of the country was rough with us and put us in prison, saying that we had come with a secret evil purpose.

bbe@Genesis:42:32 @We are twelve brothers, sons of our father; one is dead, and the youngest is now with our father in the land of Canaan.

bbe@Genesis:42:37 @And Reuben said, Put my two sons to death if I do not come back to you with him; let him be in my care and I will give him safely back to you.

bbe@Genesis:42:38 @And he said, I will not let my son go down with you; for his brother is dead and he is all I have: if evil overtakes him on the journey, then through you will my grey head go down to the underworld in sorrow.

bbe@Genesis:43:6 @And Israel said, Why were you so cruel to me as to say to him that you had a brother?

bbe@Genesis:43:8 @Then Judah said to Israel, his father, Send the boy with me, and let us be up and going, so that we and you and our little ones may not come to destruction.

bbe@Genesis:43:11 @Then their father Israel said to them, If it has to be so, then do this: take of the best fruits of the land in your vessels to give the man, perfumes and honey and spices and nuts:

bbe@Genesis:43:14 @And may God, the Ruler of all, give you mercy before the man, so that he may give you back your other brother and Benjamin. If my children are to be taken from me; there is no help for it.

bbe@Genesis:43:15 @So they took what their father said for the man, and twice as much money in their hands, and Benjamin, and went on their journey to Egypt, and came before Joseph.

bbe@Genesis:43:18 @Now the men were full of fear because they had been taken into Joseph's house and they said, It is because of the money which was put back in our bags the first time; he is looking for something against us, so that he may come down on us and take us and our asses for his use.

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

bbe@Genesis:43:29 @Then, lifting up his eyes, he saw Benjamin, his brother, his mother's son, and he said, Is this your youngest brother of whom you gave me word? And he said, God be good to you, my son.

bbe@Genesis:43:33 @And they were all given their seats before him in order of birth, from the oldest to the youngest: so that they were looking at one another in wonder.

bbe@Genesis:44:2 @And put my cup, my silver cup, in the youngest one's bag, with his money. So he did as Joseph said.

bbe@Genesis:44:6 @So he overtook them and said these words to them.

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

bbe@Genesis:44:17 @Then he said, Far be it from me to do so: but the man who had my cup will be my servant; and you may go back to your father in peace.

bbe@Genesis:44:20 @And we said to my lord, We have an old father and a young child, whom he had when he was old; his brother is dead and he is the only son of his mother, and is very dear to his father.

bbe@Genesis:44:21 @And you said to your servants, Let him come down to me with you, so that I may see him.

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

bbe@Genesis:44:29 @If now you take this one from me, and some evil comes to him, you will make my grey head go down in sorrow to the underworld.

bbe@Genesis:44:31 @When he sees that the boy is not with us, he will come to his death, and our father's grey head will go down in sorrow to the underworld.

bbe@Genesis:44:33 @So now let me be my lord's servant here in place of the boy, and let him go back with his brothers.

bbe@Genesis:45:2 @And so loud was his weeping, that it came to the ears of the Egyptians and all Pharaoh's house.

bbe@Genesis:45:7 @God sent me before you to keep you and yours living on earth so that you might become a great nation.

bbe@Genesis:45:8 @So now it was not you who sent me here, but God: and he has made me as a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.

bbe@Genesis:45:9 @Now go quickly to my father, and say to him, Your son Joseph says, God has made me ruler over all the land of Egypt: come down to me straight away:

bbe@Genesis:45:11 @And there I will take care of you, so that you and your family may not be in need, for there are still five bad years to come.

bbe@Genesis:45:25 @So they went up from Egypt and came to the land of Canaan, to their father Jacob.

bbe@Genesis:45:28 @And Israel said, It is enough: Joseph my son is still living; I will go and see him before my death.

bbe@Genesis:46:5 @Then Jacob went on from Beer-sheba; and the sons of Jacob took their father and their little ones and their wives in the carts which Pharaoh had sent for them.

bbe@Genesis:46:7 @His sons and his sons' sons, his daughters and his daughters' sons and all his family he took with him into Egypt.

bbe@Genesis:46:8 @And these are the names of the children of Israel who came into Egypt, even Jacob and all his sons: Reuben, Jacob's oldest son;

bbe@Genesis:46:9 @And the sons of Reuben: Hanoch and Pallu and Hezron and Carmi;

bbe@Genesis:46:10 @And the sons of Simeon: Jemuel and Jamin and Ohad and Jachin and Zohar and Shaul, the son of a woman of Canaan;

bbe@Genesis:46:11 @And the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari;

bbe@Genesis:46:12 @And the sons of Judah: Er and Onan and Shelah and Perez and Zerah: but Er and Onan had come to their death in the land of Canaan; and the sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul.

bbe@Genesis:46:13 @And the sons of Issachar: Tola and Puah and Job and Shimron;

bbe@Genesis:46:14 @And the sons of Zebulun: Sered and Elon and Jahleel;

bbe@Genesis:46:16 @And the sons of Gad: Ziphion and Haggi, Shuni and Ezbon, Eri and Arodi and Areli;

bbe@Genesis:46:17 @And the sons of Asher: Jimnah and Ishvah and Ishvi and Beriah, and Sarah, their sister; and the sons of Beriah: Heber and Malchiel.

bbe@Genesis:46:19 @The sons of Jacob's wife Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

bbe@Genesis:46:21 @And the sons of Benjamin were Belah and Becher and Ashbel, Gera and Naaman, Ehi and Rosh, Muppim and Huppim and Ard.

bbe@Genesis:46:22 @All these were the children of Rachel whom Jacob had by her, fourteen persons.

bbe@Genesis:46:23 @And the son of Dan was Hushim.

bbe@Genesis:46:24 @And the sons of Naphtali: Jahzeel and Guni and Jezer and Shillem.

bbe@Genesis:46:25 @These were the children of Bilhah, whom Laban gave to his daughter Rachel, seven persons.

bbe@Genesis:46:26 @All the persons who came with Jacob into Egypt, the offspring of his body, were sixty-six, without taking into account the wives of Jacob's sons.

bbe@Genesis:46:27 @And the sons of Joseph whom he had in Egypt were two. Seventy persons of the family of Jacob came into Egypt.

bbe@Genesis:46:28 @Now he had sent Judah before him to Goshen, to get word from Joseph; and so they came to the land of Goshen.

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

bbe@Genesis:47:6 @And Jacob and his sons came to Joseph in Egypt, and when word of it came to the ears of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, he said to Joseph, Your father and brothers have come to you; all the land of Egypt is before you; let your father and your brothers have the best of the land for their resting-place.

bbe@Genesis:47:9 @And Jacob said, The years of my wanderings have been a hundred and thirty; small in number and full of sorrow have been the years of my life, and less than the years of the wanderings of my fathers.

bbe@Genesis:47:13 @Now there was no food to be had in all the land, so that all Egypt and Canaan were wasted from need of food.

bbe@Genesis:47:17 @So they took their cattle to Joseph and he gave them bread in exchange for their horses and flocks and herds and asses, so all that year he gave them food in exchange for their cattle.

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

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

bbe@Genesis:47:27 @And so Israel was living among the Egyptians in the land of Goshen; and they got property there, and became very great in numbers and in wealth.

bbe@Genesis:47:28 @And Jacob was living in the land of Goshen for seventeen years; so the years of his life were a hundred and forty-seven.

bbe@Genesis:47:29 @And the time of his death came near, and he sent for his son Joseph and said to him, If now I am dear to you, put your hand under my leg and take an oath that you will not put me to rest in Egypt;

bbe@Genesis:47:30 @But when I go to my fathers, you are to take me out of Egypt and put me to rest in their last resting-place. And he said, I will do so.

bbe@Genesis:48:1 @Now after these things, word came to Joseph that his father was ill: and he took with him his sons Manasseh and Ephraim.

bbe@Genesis:48:2 @And when they said to Jacob, Your son Joseph is coming to see you: then Israel, getting all his strength together, had himself lifted up in his bed.

bbe@Genesis:48:5 @And now your two sons who came to birth in Egypt before I came to you here, are mine; Ephraim and Manasseh will be mine, in the same way as Reuben and Simeon are.

bbe@Genesis:48:7 @And as for me, when I came from Paddan, death overtook Rachel on the way, when we were still some distance from Ephrath; and I put her to rest there on the road to Ephrath, which is Beth-lehem.

bbe@Genesis:48:8 @Then Israel, looking at Joseph's sons, said, Who are these?

bbe@Genesis:48:9 @And Joseph said to his father, They are my sons, whom God has given me in this land. And he said, Let them come near me, and I will give them a blessing.

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

bbe@Genesis:48:18 @And Joseph said to his father, Not so, my father, for this is the older; put your right hand on his head.

bbe@Genesis:48:19 @But his father would not, saying, I am doing it on purpose, my son; he will certainly become a nation and a great one; but his younger brother will be greater than he, and his seed will become a great family of nations.

bbe@Genesis:48:20 @So he gave them his blessing that day, saying, You will be the sign of blessing in Israel, for they will say, May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh; and he put Ephraim before Manasseh.

bbe@Genesis:49:1 @And Jacob sent for his sons, and said, Come together, all of you, so that I may give you news of your fate in future times.

bbe@Genesis:49:2 @Come near, O sons of Jacob, and give ear to the words of Israel your father.

bbe@Genesis:49:3 @Reuben, you are my oldest son, the first-fruit of my strength, first in pride and first in power:

bbe@Genesis:49:6 @Take no part in their secrets, O my soul; keep far away, O my heart, from their meetings; for in their wrath they put men to death, and for their pleasure even oxen were wounded.

bbe@Genesis:49:8 @To you, Judah, will your brothers give praise: your hand will be on the neck of your haters; your father's sons will go down to the earth before you.

bbe@Genesis:49:9 @Judah is a young lion; like a lion full of meat you have become great, my son; now he takes his rest like a lion stretched out and like an old lion; by whom will his sleep be broken?

bbe@Genesis:49:15 @And he saw that rest was good and the land was pleasing; so he let them put weights on his back and became a servant.

bbe@Genesis:49:17 @May Dan be a snake in the way, a horned snake by the road, biting the horse's foot so that the horseman has a fall.

bbe@Genesis:49:26 @Blessings of sons, old and young, to the father: blessings of the oldest mountains and the fruit of the eternal hills: let them come on the head of Joseph, on the crown of him who was separate from his brothers.

bbe@Genesis:49:33 @And when Jacob had come to the end of these words to his sons, stretching himself on his bed, he gave up his spirit, and went the way of his people.

bbe@Genesis:50:2 @And Joseph gave orders to his servants who had the necessary knowledge, to make his father's body ready, folding it in linen with spices, and they did so.

bbe@Genesis:50:5 @My father made me take an oath, saying, When I am dead, put me to rest in the place I have made ready for myself in the land of Canaan. So now let me go and put my father in his last resting-place, and I will come back again.

bbe@Genesis:50:7 @So Joseph went up to put his father in his last resting-place; and with him went all the servants of Pharaoh, and the chief men of his house and all the chiefs of the land of Egypt,

bbe@Genesis:50:10 @And they came to the grain-floor of Atad on the other side of Jordan, and there they gave the last honours to Jacob, with great and bitter sorrow, weeping for their father for seven days.

bbe@Genesis:50:11 @And when the people of the land, the people of Canaan, at the grain-floor of Atad, saw their grief, they said, Great is the grief of the Egyptians: so the place was named Abel-mizraim, on the other side of Jordan.

bbe@Genesis:50:12 @So his sons did as he had given them orders to do:

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

bbe@Genesis:50:21 @So now, have no fear: for I will take care of you and your little ones. So he gave them comfort with kind words.

bbe@Genesis:50:23 @And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: and the children of Machir, the son of Manasseh, came to birth on Joseph's knees.

bbe@Genesis:50:26 @So Joseph came to his death, being a hundred and ten years old: and they made his body ready, and he was put in a chest in Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:1:1 @Now these are the names of the sons of Israel who came into Egypt; every man and his family came with Jacob.

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

bbe@Exodus:1:11 @So they put overseers of forced work over them, in order to make their strength less by the weight of their work. And they made store-towns for Pharaoh, Pithom and Raamses.

bbe@Exodus:1:14 @And made their lives bitter with hard work, making building-material and bricks, and doing all sorts of work in the fields under the hardest conditions.

bbe@Exodus:1:16 @When you are looking after the Hebrew women in childbirth, if it is a son you are to put him to death; but if it is a daughter, she may go on living.

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

bbe@Exodus:2:2 @And she became with child and gave birth to a Son; and when she saw that he was a beautiful child, she kept him secretly for three months.

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

bbe@Exodus:2:18 @And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that you have come back so quickly today?

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

bbe@Exodus:2:24 @And at the sound of their weeping the agreement which God had made with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob came to his mind.

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

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

bbe@Exodus:3:17 @And I have said, I will take you up out of the sorrows of Egypt into the land of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite, into a land flowing with milk and honey.

bbe@Exodus:3:21 @And I will give this people grace in the eyes of the Egyptians, so that when you go out you will go out with your hands full.

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:4:12 @So go now, and I will be with your mouth, teaching you what to say.

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:4:25 @Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cutting off the skin of her son's private parts, and touching his feet with it, she said, Truly you are a husband of blood to me.

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:5:3 @And they said, The God of the Hebrews has come to us: let us then go three days' journey into the waste land to make an offering to the Lord our God, so that he may not send death on us by disease or the sword.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:6:19 @And the sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi: these are the families of the Levites, in the order of their generations.

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

bbe@Exodus:6:22 @And the sons of Uzziel: Mishael and Elzaphan and Sithri.

bbe@Exodus:6:24 @And the sons of Korah: Assir and Elkanah and Abiasaph: these are the families of the Korahites.

bbe@Exodus:6:25 @And Eleazar, Aaron's son, took as his wife one of the daughters of Putiel; and she gave birth to Phinehas. These are the heads of the families of the Levites, in the order of their families.

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

bbe@Exodus:7:9 @If Pharaoh says to you, Let me see a wonder: then say to Aaron, Take your rod and put it down on the earth before Pharaoh so that it may become a snake.

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

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:8:10 @And he said, By tomorrow. And he said, Let it be as you say: so that you may see that there is no other like the Lord our God.

bbe@Exodus:8:16 @And the Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Let your rod be stretched out over the dust of the earth so that it may become insects through all the land of Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:8:17 @And they did so; and Aaron, stretching out the rod in his hand, gave a touch to the dust of the earth, and insects came on man and on beast; all the dust of the earth was changed into insects through all the land of Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:8:18 @And the wonder-workers with their secret arts, attempting to make insects, were unable to do so: and there were insects on man and on beast

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

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

bbe@Exodus:8:26 @And Moses said, It is not right to do so; for we make our offerings of that to which the Egyptians give worship; and if we do so before their eyes, certainly we will be stoned.

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

bbe@Exodus:9:10 @So they took some dust from the fire, and placing themselves before Pharaoh, Moses sent it out in a shower up to heaven; and it became a skin-disease bursting out on man and on beast.

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

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

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:9:24 @So there was an ice-storm with fire running through it, coming down with great force, such as never was in all the land of Egypt from the time when it became a nation.

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

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

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:10:5 @And the face of the earth will be covered with them, so that you will not be able to see the earth: and they will be the destruction of everything which up to now has not been damaged, everything which was not crushed by the ice-storm, and every tree still living in your fields.

bbe@Exodus:10:6 @And your houses will be full of them, and the houses of your servants and of all the Egyptians; it will be worse than anything your fathers have seen or their fathers, from the day when they were living on the earth till this day. And so he went out from Pharaoh.

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

bbe@Exodus:10:9 @And Moses said, We will go with our young and our old, with our sons and our daughters, with our flocks and our herds; for we are to keep a feast to the Lord

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

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

bbe@Exodus:10:15 @For all the face of the earth was covered with them, so that the land was black; and every green plant and all the fruit of the trees which was untouched by the ice-storm they took for food: not one green thing, no plant or tree, was to be seen in all the land of Egypt.

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

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

bbe@Exodus:10:26 @So our cattle will have to go with us, not one may be kept back; for they are needed for the worship of the Lord our God; we have no knowledge what offering we have to give till we come to the place.

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:12:4 @And if the lamb is more than enough for the family, let that family and its nearest neighbour have a lamb between them, taking into account the number of persons and how much food is needed for every man.

bbe@Exodus:12:7 @Then take some of the blood and put it on the two sides of the door and over the door of the house where the meal is to be taken.

bbe@Exodus:12:11 @And take your meal dressed as if for a journey, with your shoes on your feet and your sticks in your hands: take it quickly: it is the Lord's Passover.

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:12:22 @And take some hyssop and put it in the blood in the basin, touching the two sides and the top of the doorway with the blood from the basin; and let not one of you go out of his house till the morning.

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

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

bbe@Exodus:12:27 @Then you will say, This is the offering of the Lord's Passover; for he went over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he sent death on the Egyptians, and kept our families safe. And the people gave worship with bent heads.

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

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:12:39 @And they made unleavened cakes from the paste which they had taken out of Egypt; it was not leavened, for they had been sent out of Egypt so quickly, that they had no time to make any food ready.

bbe@Exodus:12:43 @And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, This is the law of the Passover: no man who is not an Israelite is to take of it:

bbe@Exodus:12:48 @And if a man from another country is living with you, and has a desire to keep the Passover to the Lord, let all the males of his family undergo circumcision, and then let him come near and keep it; for he will then be as one of your people; but no one without circumcision may keep it.

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

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

bbe@Exodus:13:8 @And you will say to your son in that day, It is because of what the Lord did for me when I came out of Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:13:9 @And this will be for a sign to you on your hand and for a mark on your brow, so that the law of the Lord may be in your mouth: for with a strong hand the Lord took you out of Egypt.

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

bbe@Exodus:13:13 @And for the young of an ass you may give a lamb in payment, or if you will not make payment for it, its neck is to be broken; but for all the first sons among your children, let payment be made.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:16:20 @But they gave no attention to Moses, and some of them kept it till the morning and there were worms in it and it had an evil smell: and Moses was angry with them.

bbe@Exodus:16:22 @And on the sixth day they took up twice as much of the bread, two omers for every person: and all the rulers of the people gave Moses word of it.

bbe@Exodus:16:27 @But still on the seventh day some of the people went out to get it, and there was not any.

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

bbe@Exodus:16:32 @And Moses said, This is the order which the Lord has given: Let one omer of it be kept for future generations, so that they may see the bread which I gave you for your food in the waste land, when I took you out from the land of Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:16:34 @So Aaron put it away in front of the holy chest to be kept, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

bbe@Exodus:17:2 @So the people were angry with Moses, and said, Give us water for drinking. And Moses said, Why are you angry with me? and why do you put God to the test?

bbe@Exodus:17:5 @And the Lord said to Moses, Go on before the people, and take some of the chiefs of Israel with you, and take in your hand the rod which was stretched out over the Nile, and go.

bbe@Exodus:17:6 @See, I will take my place before you on the rock in Horeb; and when you give the rock a blow, water will come out of it, and the people will have drink. And Moses did so before the eyes of the chiefs of Israel.

bbe@Exodus:17:10 @So Joshua did as Moses said to him, and went to war with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

bbe@Exodus:17:12 @But Moses' hands became tired; so they put a stone under him and he took his seat on it, Aaron and Hur supporting his hands, one on one side and one on the other; so his hands were kept up without falling till the sun went down.

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

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

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

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:19:13 @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:19:16 @And when morning came on the third day, there were thunders and flames and a thick cloud on the mountain, and a horn sounding very loud; and all the people in the tents were shaking with fear.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:20:20 @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:21:4 @If his master gives him a wife, and he gets sons or daughters by her, the wife and her children will be the property of the master, and the servant is to go away by himself.

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

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

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

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:22:29 @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:23:11 @But in the seventh year let the land have a rest and be unplanted; so that the poor may have food from it: and let the beasts of the field take the rest. Do the same with your vine-gardens and your olive-trees.

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

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

bbe@Exodus:24:12 @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:25:8 @And let them make me a holy place, so that I may be ever present among them.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:28:32 @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:28:35 @Aaron is to put it on for his holy work; and the sound of it will be clear, when he goes into the holy place before the Lord, and when he comes out, keeping him safe from death.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:29:27 @So you are to make holy the breast of the sheep which is waved and the leg which is lifted up on high, that is, of the sheep which is offered for Aaron and his sons;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:30:12 @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:30:19 @That it may be used by Aaron and his sons for washing their hands and feet;

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

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

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

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:31:6 @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:31:10 @And the robes of needlework, the holy robes for Aaron and for his sons, for their use when acting as priests,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:33:11 @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:33:13 @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:33:16 @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:34:4 @So Moses got two stones cut like the first; and early in the morning he went up Mount Sinai, as the Lord had said, with the two stones in his hand.

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

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

bbe@Exodus:34:20 @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:34:25 @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:34:35 @And the children of Israel saw that the face of Moses was shining: so Moses put the veil over his face again till he went to the Lord.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:38:22 @Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made everything as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:39:27 @The coats for Aaron and his sons they made of the best linen;

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

bbe@Exodus:39:41 @The robes for use in the holy place, and the holy robes for Aaron and his sons when acting as priests.

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

bbe@Exodus:40:13 @You are to put on Aaron the holy robes; and you are to put oil on him, and make him holy, so that he may be my priest.

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

bbe@Exodus:40:15 @And put oil on them as you did on their father, so that they may be my priests: the putting on of oil will make them priests for ever, from generation to generation.

bbe@Exodus:40:16 @And Moses did this; as the Lord gave him orders, so he did.

bbe@Exodus:40:17 @So on the first day of the first month in the second year the House was put up.

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

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

bbe@Exodus:40:33 @And he put up the hangings forming the open space round the House and the altar, and put the curtain over the doorway. So Moses made the work complete.

bbe@Exodus:40:35 @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:40:38 @For the cloud of the Lord was resting on the House by day, and at night there was fire in the cloud, before the eyes of all the people of Israel, and so it was through all their journeys.

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

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

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

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

bbe@Leviticus:1:11 @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:2:2 @And let him take it to Aaron's sons, the priests; and having taken in his hand some of the meal and of the oil, with all the perfume, let him give it to the priest to be burned on the altar, as a sign, an offering made by fire, for a sweet smell to the Lord.

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

bbe@Leviticus:2:10 @And the rest of the meal offering will be for Aaron and his sons; it is most holy among the Lord's fire offerings.

bbe@Leviticus:3:2 @And he is to put his hand on the head of his offering and put it to death at the door of the Tent of meeting; and Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put some of the blood on and round the altar.

bbe@Leviticus:3:5 @That it may be burned by Aaron's sons on the altar, on the burned offering which is on the wood on the fire: it is an offering made by fire of a sweet smell to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:3:8 @And he is to put his hand on the head of his offering and put it to death before the Tent of meeting; and Aaron's sons are to put some of its blood on and round the altar.

bbe@Leviticus:3:13 @And let him put his hand on the head of it and put it to death before the Tent of meeting; and the sons of Aaron are to put some of its blood on and round the altar.

bbe@Leviticus:4:5 @And the chief priest is to take some of its blood and take it to the Tent of meeting;

bbe@Leviticus:4:7 @And the priest is to put some of the blood on the horns of the altar on which perfume is burned before the Lord in the Tent of meeting, draining out all the rest of the blood of the ox at the base of the altar of burned offering which is at the door of the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Leviticus:4:16 @And the priest is to take some of its blood to the Tent of meeting;

bbe@Leviticus:4:18 @And he is to put some of the blood on the horns of the altar which is before the Lord in the Tent of meeting; and all the rest of the blood is to be drained out at the base of the altar of burned offering at the door of the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Leviticus:4:25 @And the priest is to take some of the blood of the offering with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burned offering, draining out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar of burned offering.

bbe@Leviticus:4:30 @And the priest is to take some of the blood with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burned offering, and all the rest of its blood is to be drained out at the base of the altar.

bbe@Leviticus:4:34 @And the priest is to take some of the blood of the offering with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burned offering, and all the rest of the blood is to be drained out at the base of the altar;

bbe@Leviticus:5:1 @And if anyone does wrong by saying nothing when he is put under oath as a witness of something he has seen or had knowledge of, then he will be responsible:

bbe@Leviticus:5:2 @If anyone becomes unclean through touching unconsciously some unclean thing, such as the dead body of an unclean beast or of unclean cattle or of any unclean animal which goes flat on the earth, he will be responsible:

bbe@Leviticus:5:12 @And let him come to the priest with it, and the priest will take some of it in his hand, to be burned on the altar as a sign, among the offerings of the Lord made by fire: it is a sin-offering

bbe@Leviticus:6:2 @If anyone does wrong, and is untrue to the Lord, acting falsely to his neighbour in connection with something put in his care, or something given for a debt, or has taken away anything by force, or has been cruel to his neighbour,

bbe@Leviticus:6:3 @Or has taken a false oath about the loss of something which he has come across by chance; if a man has done any of these evil things,

bbe@Leviticus:6:9 @Give orders to Aaron and to his sons, saying, This is the law for the burned offering: the offering is to be on the fire-wood on the altar all night till the morning; and the fire of the altar is to be kept burning.

bbe@Leviticus:6:14 @And this is the law for the meal offering: it is to be offered to the Lord before the altar by the sons of Aaron

bbe@Leviticus:6:15 @The priest is to take in his hand some of the meal of the meal offering and of the oil of it, and all the perfume on it, burning it on the altar as a sign, for a sweet smell to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:6:16 @And whatever is over Aaron and his sons may have for their food, taking it without leaven in a holy place; in the open space of the Tent of meeting they may take a meal of it.

bbe@Leviticus:6:20 @This is the offering which Aaron and his sons are to make to the Lord on the day when he is made a priest: the tenth part of an ephah of the best meal for a meal offering for ever; half of it in the morning and half in the evening.

bbe@Leviticus:6:22 @And the same offering is to be given by that one of his sons who takes his place as priest; by an order for ever, all of it is to be burned before the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:6:25 @Say to Aaron and his sons, This is the law for the sin-offering: the sin-offering is to be put to death before the Lord in the same place as the burned offering; it is most holy.

bbe@Leviticus:7:7 @As is the sin-offering, so is the offering for wrongdoing; there is one law for them: the priest who makes the offering to take away sin, he is to have it.

bbe@Leviticus:7:10 @And every meal offering, mixed with oil or dry, is for all the sons of Aaron in equal measure.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

bbe@Leviticus:10:9 @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:10:12 @And Moses said to Aaron and to Eleazar and Ithamar, his sons who were still living, Take the rest of the meal offering from the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and take it for your food, without leaven, at the side of the altar, for it is most holy.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

bbe@Leviticus:13:41 @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:13:50 @And after it has been seen by the priest, the thing which is so marked is to be shut up for seven days:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

bbe@Leviticus:14:23 @And on the eighth day he will take them to the priest, to the door of the Tent of meeting before the Lord, so that he may be made clean.

bbe@Leviticus:14:25 @And he will put to death the lamb of the offering for wrongdoing and the priest will take some of the blood of the offering for wrongdoing and put it on the point of the right ear of him who is to be made clean, and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot;

bbe@Leviticus:14:26 @And the priest will put out some of the oil in the hollow of his left hand,

bbe@Leviticus:14:28 @And the priest will put some of the oil which is in his hand on the point of the ear of the man who is to be made clean and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot, on the place where the blood of the offering for wrongdoing was put;

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

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

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

bbe@Leviticus:14:51 @And take the cedar-wood and the hyssop and the red thread and the living bird and put them in the blood of the dead bird and in the flowing water, shaking it over the house seven times.

bbe@Leviticus:14:52 @And he will make the house clean with the blood of the bird and the flowing water and with the living bird and with the cedar-wood and the hyssop and the red thread.

bbe@Leviticus:14:53 @But he will let the living bird go out of the town into the open country; so he will take away sin from the house and it will be clean.

bbe@Leviticus:15:24 @And if any man has sex relations with her so that her blood comes on him, he will be unclean for seven days and every bed on which he has been resting will be unclean.

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:15:32 @This is the law for the man who has a flow from his body, or whose seed goes from him so that he is unclean;

bbe@Leviticus:16:1 @And the Lord said to Moses, after the death of the two sons of Aaron when they took in strange fire before the Lord and death overtook them;

bbe@Leviticus:16:12 @And he is to take a vessel full of burning coal from the altar before the Lord and in his hand some sweet perfume crushed small, and take it inside the veil;

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:16:14 @And let him take some of the blood of the ox, shaking drops of it from his finger on the cover of the ark on the east side, and before it, seven times.

bbe@Leviticus:16:18 @And he is to go out to the altar which is before the Lord and make it free from sin; and he is to take some of the blood of the ox and the blood of the goat and put it on the horns of the altar and round it;

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:16:34 @And let this be an order for ever for you, so that the sin of the children of Israel may be taken away once every year. And he did as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

bbe@Leviticus:17:2 @Say to Aaron and to his sons and to all the children of Israel: This is the order which the Lord has given.

bbe@Leviticus:17:5 @So that the children of Israel may take to the Lord, to the door of the Tent of meeting and to the priest, the offerings which they have put to death in the open country, and that they may make their peace-offerings to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:17:10 @And if any man of Israel, or any other living among them, takes any sort of blood for food, my wrath will be turned against that man and he will be cut off from among his people.

bbe@Leviticus:17:12 @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:18:5 @So keep my rules and my decisions, which, if a man does them, will be life to him: I am the Lord.

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

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

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

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

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

bbe@Leviticus:18:28 @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:19:17 @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:19:19 @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:19:23 @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:20:7 @So make and keep yourselves holy, for I am the Lord your God.

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

bbe@Leviticus:20:14 @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:20:22 @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:20:26 @And you are to be holy to me; for I the Lord am holy and have made you separate from the nations, so that you may be my people.

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

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

bbe@Leviticus:21:10 @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:21:24 @These are the words which Moses said to Aaron and to his sons and to all the children of Israel.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

bbe@Leviticus:23:28 @And on that day you may do no sort of work, for it is a day of taking away sin, to make you clean before the Lord your God.

bbe@Leviticus:23:29 @For any person, whoever he may be, who takes his pleasure on that day will be cut off from his people.

bbe@Leviticus:23:30 @And if any person, whoever he may be, on that day does any sort of work, I will send destruction on him from among his people.

bbe@Leviticus:23:31 @You may not do any sort of work: this is an order for ever through all your generations wherever you may be living.

bbe@Leviticus:23:43 @So that future generations may keep in mind how I gave the children of Israel tents as their living-places when I took them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Leviticus:24:2 @Give orders to the children of Israel to give you clean olive oil for the light, so that a light may be burning at all times,

bbe@Leviticus:24:9 @And it will be for Aaron and his sons; they are to take it for food in a holy place: it is the most holy of all the offerings made by fire to the Lord, a rule for ever.

bbe@Leviticus:24:10 @And a son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel and had a fight with a man of Israel by the tents;

bbe@Leviticus:24:11 @And the son of the Israelite woman said evil against the holy Name, with curses; and they took him to Moses. His mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.

bbe@Leviticus:24:19 @And if a man does damage to his neighbour, as he has done, so let it be done to him;

bbe@Leviticus:24:20 @Wound for wound, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; whatever damage he has done, so let it be done to him

bbe@Leviticus:25:9 @Then let the loud horn be sounded far and wide on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the day of taking away sin let the horn be sounded through all your land

bbe@Leviticus:25:18 @So keep my rules and my decisions and do them, and you will be safe in your land.

bbe@Leviticus:25:25 @If your brother becomes poor, and has to give up some of his land for money, his nearest relation may come and get back that which his brother has given up.

bbe@Leviticus:25:27 @Then let him take into account the years from the time when he gave it up, and make up the loss for the rest of the years to him who took it, and so get back his property.

bbe@Leviticus:25:49 @Or his father's brother, or the son of his father's brother, or any near relation; or if he gets money, he may make himself free.

bbe@Leviticus: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:26:15 @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:26:22 @I will let loose the beasts of the field among you, and they will take away your children and send destruction on your cattle, so that your numbers will become small and your roads become waste.

bbe@Leviticus:26:29 @Then you will take the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters for food;

bbe@Leviticus:26:30 @And I will send destruction on your high places, overturning your perfume altars, and will put your dead bodies on your broken images, and my soul will be turned from you in disgust.

bbe@Leviticus:26:36 @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:26:41 @So that I went against them and sent them away into the land of their haters: if then the pride of their hearts is broken and they take the punishment of their sins,

bbe@Leviticus:26:43 @And the land, while she is without them, will keep her Sabbaths; and they will undergo the punishment of their sins, because they were turned away from my decisions and in their souls was hate for my laws.

bbe@Leviticus:27:2 @Say to the children of Israel, If a man makes a special oath, you will give your decision as to the value of the persons for the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:27:5 @And if the person is from five to twenty years old, the value will be twenty shekels for a male, and ten for a female.

bbe@Leviticus:27:6 @And if the person is from one month to five years old, then the value for a male will be five shekels of silver, and for a female three shekels.

bbe@Leviticus:27:12 @And let the priest put a value on it, if it is good or bad; whatever value the priest puts on it, so will it be.

bbe@Leviticus:27:14 @And if a man has given his house as holy to the Lord, then the priest will put a value on it, if it is good or bad; as the priest gives decision so will the value be fixed.

bbe@Numbers:1:45 @So all those who were numbered of the children of Israel, by their families, all those of twenty years old and over who were able to go to war,

bbe@Numbers:1:51 @And when the Tent of meeting goes forward, the Levites are to take it down; and when it is to be put up, they are to do it: any strange person who comes near it is to be put to death.

bbe@Numbers:1:53 @But the tents of the Levites are to be round the Tent of meeting, so that wrath may not come on the children of Israel: the Tent of meeting is to be in the care of the Levites.

bbe@Numbers:1:54 @So the children of Israel did as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

bbe@Numbers:2:3 @Those whose tents are on the east side, looking to the dawn, will be round the flag of the children of Judah, with Nahshon, the son of Amminadab, as their chief.

bbe@Numbers:3:2 @These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the oldest, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

bbe@Numbers:3:3 @These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests, on whom the holy oil was put, who were marked out as priests.

bbe@Numbers:3:9 @Give the Levites to Aaron and his sons; so that they may be his without question from among the children of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:3:10 @And give orders that Aaron and his sons are to keep their place as priests; any strange person who comes near is to be put to death

bbe@Numbers:3:12 @See, I have taken the Levites out of the children of Israel to be mine in place of the first sons of the children of Israel;

bbe@Numbers:3:16 @So Moses did as the Lord said, numbering them as he had been ordered.

bbe@Numbers:3:17 @These were the sons of Levi by name: Gershon and Kohath and Merari.

bbe@Numbers:3:29 @The tents of the Kohathites are to be placed on the south side of the House.

bbe@Numbers:3:30 @Their chief is Elizaphan, the son of Uzziel.

bbe@Numbers:3:32 @Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, will be head over all the Levites and overseer of those responsible for the care of the holy place.

bbe@Numbers:3:35 @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:3:38 @And those whose tents are to be placed on the east side of the House in front of the Tent of meeting, looking to the dawn, are Moses and Aaron and his sons, who will do the work of the holy place for the children of Israel; and any strange person who comes near will be put to death.

bbe@Numbers:3:41 @And give to me the Levites (I am the Lord) in place of the first sons of the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites in place of the first births among the cattle of the children of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:3:42 @So Moses had all the first sons among the children of Israel numbered, as the Lord said to him.

bbe@Numbers:3:43 @Every first son from a month old and over was numbered by name, and the number came to twenty-two thousand, two hundred and seventy-three.

bbe@Numbers:3:45 @Take the Levites in place of all the first sons of the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites in place of their cattle; the Levites are to be mine; I am the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:3:46 @And the price you have to give for the two hundred and seventy-three first sons of the children of Israel which are in addition to the number of the Levites,

bbe@Numbers:3:48 @And this money, the price of those over the number of the Levites, is to be given to Aaron and his sons.

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

bbe@Numbers:3:50 @From the first sons of Israel he took it, a thousand, three hundred and sixty-five shekels, by the scale of the holy place;

bbe@Numbers:3:51 @And he gave the money to Aaron and his sons, as the Lord had said.

bbe@Numbers:4:2 @Let the sons of Kohath, from among the sons of Levi, be numbered by their families, in the order of their fathers' houses;

bbe@Numbers:4:4 @And this is to be the work of the sons of Kohath in connection with the most holy things.

bbe@Numbers:4:5 @When all the people go forward, Aaron is to go in with his sons, and take down the veil of the curtain, covering the ark of witness with it;

bbe@Numbers:4:15 @And after the holy place and all its vessels have been covered up by Aaron and his sons, when the tents of the people go forward, the sons of Kohath are to come and take it up; but the holy things may not be touched by them for fear of death.

bbe@Numbers:4:16 @And Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, is to be responsible for the oil for the light, and the sweet perfumes for burning, and the regular meal offering, and the holy oil; the House and the holy place and everything in it will be in his care.

bbe@Numbers:4:19 @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:4:22 @Let the sons of Gershon be numbered by families, in the order of their fathers' houses;

bbe@Numbers:4:27 @From the mouth of Aaron and his sons the Gershonites will have word about all the things they are to do and take up; you are to give them their orders.

bbe@Numbers:4:28 @This is the work of the family of the Gershonites in the Tent of meeting, and they will be under the direction of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.

bbe@Numbers:4:29 @The sons of Merari are to be numbered by families, in the order of their fathers' houses;

bbe@Numbers:4:33 @This is the work which the sons of Merari are to do in connection with the Tent of meeting, under the direction of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.

bbe@Numbers:4:34 @So Moses and Aaron and the chiefs of the people took in hand the numbering of the sons of the Kohathites, by families, in the order of their fathers' houses;

bbe@Numbers:4:38 @And those of the sons of Gershon who were numbered by families,

bbe@Numbers:4:41 @This is the number of the sons of Gershon who did the work in the Tent of meeting, as they were numbered by Moses and Aaron at the order of the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:4:42 @And those of the sons of Merari who were numbered by families, in the order of their fathers' houses,

bbe@Numbers:4:45 @This is the number of the sons of Merari, numbered by Moses and Aaron at the order of the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:4:49 @At the order of the Lord they were numbered by Moses, every one in relation to his work and to his part in the transport; so they were numbered by Moses at the order of the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:5:2 @Give orders to the children of Israel to put outside the tent-circle every leper, and anyone who has any sort of flow from his body, and anyone who is unclean from the touch of the dead;

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:5:4 @So the children of Israel did as the Lord had said to Moses, and put them outside the tent-circle.

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:5:22 @And this water of the curse will go into your body, causing disease of your stomach and wasting of your legs: and the woman will say, So be it.

bbe@Numbers:5:26 @And he will take some of it in his hand, burning it on the altar as a sign, and then he will give the woman the bitter water.

bbe@Numbers:6:9 @If death comes suddenly to a man at his side, so that he becomes unclean, let his hair be cut off on the day when he is made clean, on the seventh day.

bbe@Numbers:6:23 @Say to Aaron and his sons, These are the words of blessing which are to be used by you in blessing the children of Israel; say to them,

bbe@Numbers:6:27 @So they will put my name on the children of Israel, and I will give them my blessing.

bbe@Numbers:7:6 @So Moses took the carts and the oxen and gave them to the Levites.

bbe@Numbers:7:7 @Two carts and four oxen he gave to the sons of Gershon for their work;

bbe@Numbers:7:8 @And four carts and eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari for their work, under the direction of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.

bbe@Numbers:7:9 @But to the sons of Kohath he gave nothing; because they had the care of the holy place, taking it about on their backs.

bbe@Numbers:7:12 @And he who made his offering on the first day was Nahshon, the son of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah:

bbe@Numbers:7:17 @And for the peace-offerings, two oxen, five male sheep, five he-goats, five he-lambs of the first year: this was the offering of Nahshon, the son of Amminadab.

bbe@Numbers:7:18 @On the second day Nethanel, the son of Zuar, chief of Issachar, made his offering:

bbe@Numbers:7:23 @And for the peace-offerings, two oxen, five male sheep, five he-goats, five he-lambs of the first year: this was the offering of Nethanel, the son of Zuar.

bbe@Numbers:7:24 @On the third day Eliab, the son of Helon, chief of the children of Zebulun:

bbe@Numbers:7:29 @And for the peace-offerings, two oxen, five male sheep, five he-goats, five he-lambs of the first year: this was the offering of Eliab, the son of Helon.

bbe@Numbers:7:30 @On the fourth day Elizur, the son of Shedeur, chief of the children of Reuben:

bbe@Numbers:7:35 @And for the peace-offerings, two oxen, five male sheep, five he-goats, five he-lambs of the first year: this was the offering of Elizur, the son of Shedeur.

bbe@Numbers:7:36 @On the fifth day Shelumiel, the son of Zurishaddai, chief of the children of Simeon:

bbe@Numbers:7:41 @And for the peace-offerings, two oxen, five male sheep, five he-goats, five he-lambs of the first year: this was the offering of Shelumiel, the son of Zurishaddai.

bbe@Numbers:7:42 @On the sixth day Eliasaph, the son of Reuel, chief of the children of Gad:

bbe@Numbers:7:47 @And for the peace-offerings, two oxen, five male sheep, five he-goats, five he-lambs of the first year: this was the offering of Eliasaph, the son of Reuel

bbe@Numbers:7:48 @On the seventh day Elishama, the son of Ammihud, chief of the children of Ephraim:

bbe@Numbers:7:53 @And for the peace-offerings, two oxen, five male sheep, five he-goats, five he-lambs of the first year: this was the offering of Elishama, the son of Ammihud.

bbe@Numbers:7:54 @On the eighth day Gamaliel, the son of Pedahzur, chief of the children of Manasseh:

bbe@Numbers:7:59 @And for the peace-offerings, two oxen, five male sheep, five he-goats, five he-lambs of the first year: this was the offering of Gamaliel, the son of Pedahzur.

bbe@Numbers:7:60 @On the ninth day Abidan, the son of Gideoni, chief of the children of Benjamin:

bbe@Numbers:7:65 @And for the peace-offerings, two oxen, five male sheep, five he-goats, five he-lambs of the first year: this was the offering of Abidan, the son of Gideoni.

bbe@Numbers:7:66 @On the tenth day Ahiezer; the son of Ammishaddai, chief of the children of Dan:

bbe@Numbers:7:71 @And for the peace-offerings, two oxen, five male sheep, five he-goats, five he-lambs of the first year: this was the offering of Ahiezer, the son of Ammishaddai.

bbe@Numbers:7:72 @On the eleventh day Pagiel, the son of Ochran, chief of the children of Asher:

bbe@Numbers:7:77 @And for the peace-offerings, two oxen, five male sheep, five he-goats, five he-lambs of the first year: this was the offering of Pagiel, the son of Ochran.

bbe@Numbers:7:78 @On the twelfth day Ahira, the son of Enan, chief of the children of Naphtali:

bbe@Numbers:7:83 @And for the peace-offerings, two oxen, five male sheep, five he-goats, five he-lambs of the first year: this was the offering of Ahira, the son of Enan.

bbe@Numbers:8:3 @And Aaron did so; he put the lights in their places so that they gave light in front of the support, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

bbe@Numbers:8:11 @And Aaron is to give the Levites to the Lord as a wave offering from the children of Israel, so that they may do the Lord's work.

bbe@Numbers:8:13 @Then the Levites are to be put before Aaron and his sons, to be offered as a wave offering to the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:8:14 @So you are to make the Levites separate from the children of Israel, and the Levites will be mine.

bbe@Numbers:8:16 @For they have been given to me from among the children of Israel; in place of every mother's first son, the first to come to birth in Israel, I have taken them for myself.

bbe@Numbers:8:17 @For every mother's first son among the children of Israel is mine, the first male birth of man or beast: on the day when I sent death on all the first sons in the land of Egypt, I made them mine.

bbe@Numbers:8:18 @And in place of the first sons among the children of Israel, I have taken the Levites

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:8:20 @All these things Moses and Aaron and the children of Israel did to the Levites; as the Lord gave orders to Moses about the Levites, so the children of Israel did.

bbe@Numbers:8:22 @And then the Levites went in to do their work in the Tent of meeting before Aaron and his sons: all the orders which the Lord had given Moses about the Levites were put into effect.

bbe@Numbers:9:2 @Let the children of Israel keep the Passover at its regular time.

bbe@Numbers:9:4 @And Moses gave orders to the children of Israel to keep the Passover.

bbe@Numbers:9:5 @So they kept the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, in the waste land of Sinai: as the Lord gave orders to Moses, so the children of Israel did.

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

bbe@Numbers:9:10 @Say to the children of Israel, If any one of you or of your families is unclean because of a dead body, or is on a journey far away, still he is to keep the Passover to the Lord:

bbe@Numbers:9:12 @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:9:16 @And so it was at all times: it was covered by the cloud, and by a light as of fire by night.

bbe@Numbers:9:20 @Sometimes the cloud was resting on the House for two or three days; then, by the order of the Lord, they kept their tents in that place, and when the Lord gave the order they went on

bbe@Numbers:9:21 @And sometimes the cloud was there only from evening to morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning they went on their journey again: or if it was resting there by day and by night, whenever the cloud was taken up they went forward.

bbe@Numbers:10:3 @When they are sounded, all the people are to come together to you at the door of the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Numbers:10:4 @If only one of them is sounded, then the chiefs, the heads of the thousands of Israel, are to come to you.

bbe@Numbers:10:5 @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:10:8 @The horns are to be sounded by the sons of Aaron, the priests; this is to be a law for you for ever, from generation to generation.

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:10:10 @And on days of joy and on your regular feasts and on the first day of every month, let the horns be sounded over your burned offerings and your peace-offerings; and they will put the Lord in mind of you: I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Numbers:10:14 @First the flag of the children of Judah went forward with their armies: and at the head of his army was Nahshon, the son of Amminadab.

bbe@Numbers:10:15 @And at the head of the army of the children of Issachar was Nethanel, the son of Zuar.

bbe@Numbers:10:16 @And at the head of the army of the children of Zebulun was Eliab, the son of Helon.

bbe@Numbers:10:17 @Then the House was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari, who were responsible for moving the House, went forward.

bbe@Numbers:10:18 @Then the flag of the children of Reuben went forward with their armies: and at the head of his army was Elizur, the son of Shedeur.

bbe@Numbers:10:19 @And at the head of the army of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel, the son of Zurishaddai.

bbe@Numbers:10:20 @At the head of the army of the children of Gad was Eliasaph, the son of Reuel.

bbe@Numbers:10:22 @Then the flag of the children of Ephraim went forward with their armies: and at the head of his army was Elishama, the son of Ammihud.

bbe@Numbers:10:23 @At the head of the army of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel, the son of Pedahzur.

bbe@Numbers:10:24 @At the head of the army of the children of Benjamin was Abidan, the son of Gideoni.

bbe@Numbers:10:25 @And the flag of the children of Dan, whose tents were moved last of all, went forward with their armies: and at the head of his army was Ahiezer, the son of Ammishaddai.

bbe@Numbers:10:26 @At the head of the army of the children of Asher was Pagiel, the son of Ochran.

bbe@Numbers:10:27 @And at the head of the army of the children of Naphtali was Ahira, the son of Enan.

bbe@Numbers:10:28 @This was the order in which the children of Israel were journeying by armies; so they went forward.

bbe@Numbers:10:29 @Then Moses said to Hobab, the son of his father-in-law Reuel the Midianite, We are journeying to that place of which the Lord has said, I will give it to you: so come with us, and it will be for your profit: for the Lord has good things in store for Israel.

bbe@Numbers:10:33 @So they went forward three days' journey from the mountain of the Lord; and the ark of the Lord's agreement went three days' journey before them, looking for a resting-place for them;

bbe@Numbers:11:3 @So that place was named Taberah, because of the fire of the Lord which had been burning among them.

bbe@Numbers:11:5 @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:11:10 @And at the sound of the people weeping, every man at his tent-door, the wrath of the Lord was great, and Moses was very angry.

bbe@Numbers:11:17 @And I will come down and have talk with you there: and I will take some of the spirit which is on you and put it on them, and they will take part of the weight of the people off you, so that you do not have to take it by yourself.

bbe@Numbers:11:18 @And say to the people, Make yourselves clean before tomorrow and you will have flesh for your food: for in the ears of the Lord you have been weeping and saying, Who will give us flesh for food? for we were well off in Egypt: and so the Lord will give you flesh, and it will be your food;

bbe@Numbers:11:22 @Are flocks and herds to be put to death for them? or are all the fish in the sea to be got together so that they may be full?

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:11:28 @Then Joshua, the son of Nun, who had been Moses' servant from the time when he was a child, said, My lord Moses, let them be stopped.

bbe@Numbers:11:31 @Then the Lord sent a wind, driving little birds from the sea, so that they came down on the tents, and all round the tent-circle, about a day's journey on this side and on that, in masses about two cubits high over the face of the earth.

bbe@Numbers:11:34 @So that place was named Kibroth-hattaavah; because there they put in the earth the bodies of the people who had given way to their desires.

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

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:13:4 @And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua, the son of Zaccur.

bbe@Numbers:13:5 @Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat, the son of Hori.

bbe@Numbers:13:6 @Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb, the son of Jephunneh.

bbe@Numbers:13:7 @Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal, the son of Joseph.

bbe@Numbers:13:8 @Of the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea, the son of Nun.

bbe@Numbers:13:9 @Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti, the son of Raphu.

bbe@Numbers:13:10 @Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel, the son of Sodi.

bbe@Numbers:13:11 @Of the tribe of Joseph, that is of the family of Manasseh, Gaddi, the son of Susi.

bbe@Numbers:13:12 @Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel, the son of Gemalli.

bbe@Numbers:13:13 @Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur, the son of Michael

bbe@Numbers:13:14 @Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi, the son of Vophsi.

bbe@Numbers:13:15 @Of the tribe of Gad, Gevel, the son of Machi

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:13:17 @So Moses sent them to have a look at the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go up into the South and into the hill-country;

bbe@Numbers:13:19 @And what sort of land they are living in, if it is good or bad; and what their living-places are, tent-circles or walled towns;

bbe@Numbers:13:20 @And if the land is fertile or poor, and if there is wood in it or not. And be of good heart, and come back with some of the produce of the land. Now it was the time when the first grapes were ready.

bbe@Numbers:13:21 @So they went up and got a view of the land, from the waste land of Zin to Rehob, on the way to Hamath.

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:13:23 @And they came to the valley of Eshcol, and cutting down a vine-branch with its grapes, two of them took it on a rod between them; and they took some pomegranates and figs.

bbe@Numbers:13:27 @And they said, We came to the land where you sent us, and truly it is flowing with milk and honey: and here is some of the produce of it.

bbe@Numbers:13:29 @And the Amalekites are in the South; and the Hittites and the Jebusites and the Amorites are living in the hill-country; and the Canaanites by the sea and by the side of Jordan.

bbe@Numbers:13:33 @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:14:6 @And Joshua, the son of Nun, and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, two of those who had been to see the land, giving signs of grief,

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:14:28 @Say to them, By my life, says the Lord, as certainly as your words have come to my ears, so certainly will I do this to you:

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:14:34 @And as you went through the land viewing it for forty days, so for forty years, a year for every day, you will undergo punishment for your wrongdoing, and you will see that I am against you.

bbe@Numbers:14:38 @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:15:12 @Whatever number you make ready, so you are to do for every one.

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:15:25 @So the priest will make the people free from sin, and they will have forgiveness; for it was an error, and they have given their offering made by fire to the Lord, and their sin-offering before the Lord, on account of their error:

bbe@Numbers:15:27 @And if one person does wrong, without being conscious of it, then let him give a she-goat of the first year for a sin-offering.

bbe@Numbers:15:28 @And the priest will take away the sin of the person who has done wrong, if the wrong was done unconsciously, and he will have forgiveness.

bbe@Numbers:15:30 @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:15:36 @So all the people took him outside the tent-circle and he was stoned to death there, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

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:15:41 @I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt, so that I might be your God: I am the Lord your God.

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:16:6 @So do this: let Korah and all his band take vessels for burning perfumes;

bbe@Numbers:16:7 @And put spices on the fire in them before the Lord tomorrow; then the man marked out by the Lord will be holy: you take overmuch on yourselves, you sons of Levi.

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:16:11 @So you and all your band have come together against the Lord; and Aaron, who is he, that you are crying out against him?

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:16:18 @So every man took his vessel and they put fire in them, with spices, and came to the door of the Tent of meeting with Moses and Aaron.

bbe@Numbers:16:21 @Come out from among this people, so that I may send sudden destruction on them

bbe@Numbers:16:25 @So Moses got up and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the responsible men of Israel went with him.

bbe@Numbers:16:27 @So on every side they went away from the tent of Korah Dathan, and Abiram: and Dathan and Abiram came out to the door of their tents, with their wives and their sons and their little ones.

bbe@Numbers:16:30 @But if the Lord does something new, opening the earth to take them in, with everything which is theirs, and they go down living into the underworld, then it will be clear to you that the Lord has not been honoured by these men.

bbe@Numbers:16:33 @So they and all theirs went down living into the underworld, and the earth was shut over them, and they were cut off from among the meeting of the people.

bbe@Numbers:16:37 @Say to Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, that he is to take out of the flames the vessels with the perfumes in them, turning the fire out of them, for they are holy;

bbe@Numbers:16:38 @And let the vessels of those men, who with their lives have made payment for their sin, be hammered out into plates as a cover for the altar; for they have been offered before the Lord and are holy; so that they may be a sign to the children of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:16:39 @So Eleazar the priest took the brass vessels which had been offered by those who were burned up, and they were hammered out to make a cover for the altar:

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:16:45 @Come out from among this people, so that I may send sudden destruction on them. And they went down on their faces.

bbe@Numbers:17:5 @And the rod of that man who is marked out by me for myself will have buds on it; so I will put a stop to the outcries which the children of Israel make to me against you.

bbe@Numbers:17:6 @So Moses gave these orders to the children of Israel, and all their chiefs gave him rods, one for the head of every family, making twelve rods: and Aaron's rod was among them.

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:17:11 @This Moses did: as the Lord gave orders, so he did.

bbe@Numbers:18:1 @And the Lord said to Aaron, You and your sons and your father's family are to be responsible for all wrongdoing in relation to the holy place: and you and your sons are to be responsible for the errors which come about in your work as priests.

bbe@Numbers:18:2 @Let your brothers, the family of Levi, come near with you, so that they may be joined with you and be your servants: but you and your sons with you are to go in before the ark of witness.

bbe@Numbers:18:3 @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:18:5 @You are to be responsible for the holy place and the altar, so that wrath may never again come on the children of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:18:7 @And you and your sons with you are to be responsible as priests for the altar and everything on it, and everything inside the veil; you are to do the work of priests; I have given you your position as priests; and any other man who comes near will be put to death.

bbe@Numbers:18:8 @And the Lord said to Aaron, See, I have given into your care my lifted offerings; even all the holy things of the children of Israel I have given to you and to your sons as your right for ever, because you have been marked with the holy oil.

bbe@Numbers:18:9 @This is to be yours of the most holy things, out of the fire offerings; every offering of theirs, every meal offering and sin-offering, and every offering which they make on account of error, is to be most holy for you and your sons.

bbe@Numbers:18:11 @And this is yours: the lifted offering which they give and all the wave offerings of the children of Israel I have given to you and to your sons and to your daughters as your right for ever: everyone in your house who is clean may have them for food.

bbe@Numbers:18:15 @The first birth of every living thing which is offered to the Lord, of man or beast, is to be yours; but for the first sons of man payment is to be made, and for the first young of unclean beasts.

bbe@Numbers:18:19 @All the lifted offerings of the holy things which the children of Israel give to the Lord, I have given to you and to your sons and to your daughters as a right for ever. This is an agreement made with salt before the Lord, to you and to your seed for ever.

bbe@Numbers:18:22 @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:18:24 @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:18:28 @So you are to make an offering lifted up to the Lord from all the tenths which you get from the children of Israel, giving out of it the Lord's lifted offering to Aaron the priest.

bbe@Numbers:18:32 @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:19:4 @Then let Eleazar the priest take some of her blood on his finger, shaking the blood seven times in the direction of the front of the Tent of meeting:

bbe@Numbers:19:6 @Then let the priest take cedar-wood and hyssop and red thread, and put them into the fire where the cow is burning.

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:19:18 @And a clean person is to take hyssop and put it in the water, shaking it over the tent, and all the vessels, and the people who were there, and over him by whom the bone, or the body of one who has been put to death with the sword, or the body of one who has come to his end by a natural death, or the resting-place was touched.

bbe@Numbers:19:19 @Let the clean person do this to the unclean on the third day and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he is to make him clean; and after washing his clothing and bathing himself in water, he will be clean in the evening.

bbe@Numbers:19:21 @This is to be a law for them for ever: he who puts the water on the unclean person is to have his clothing washed; and anyone touching the water will be unclean till evening.

bbe@Numbers:19:22 @Anything touched by the unclean person will be unclean; and any person touching it will be unclean till evening.

bbe@Numbers:20:8 @Take the rod, you and Aaron, your brother, and make all the people come together, and before their eyes give orders to the rock to give out its water; and so make water come out of the rock for them, and give the people and their cattle drink.

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

bbe@Numbers:20:25 @So take Aaron and Eleazar, his son, up into Mount Hor;

bbe@Numbers:20:26 @And take Aaron's robes off him and put them on Eleazar, his son: and death will come to Aaron there, and he will be put to rest with his people.

bbe@Numbers:20:27 @So Moses did as the Lord had said, and before the eyes of all the people they went up Mount Hor.

bbe@Numbers:20:28 @And Moses took off Aaron's robes, and put them on Eleazar, his son; and there on the top of the mountain death came to Aaron: then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.

bbe@Numbers:21:1 @And it came to the ears of the Canaanite, the king of Arad, living in the South, that Israel was coming by the way of Atharim, and he came out against them and took some of them prisoners.

bbe@Numbers:21:6 @Then the Lord sent poison-snakes among the people; and their bites were a cause of death to numbers of the people of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:21:7 @Then the people came to Moses and said, We have done wrong in crying out against the Lord and against you: make prayer to the Lord to take away the snakes from us. So Moses made prayer for the people.

bbe@Numbers:21:9 @So Moses made a snake of brass and put it on a rod; and anyone who had a snakebite, after looking on the snake of brass, was made well.

bbe@Numbers:21:17 @Then Israel gave voice to this song: Come up, O water-spring, let us make a song to it:

bbe@Numbers:21:27 @So the makers of wise sayings say, Come to Heshbon, building up the town of Sihon and making it strong:

bbe@Numbers:21:29 @Sorrow is yours, O Moab! Destruction is your fate, O people of Chemosh: his sons have gone in flight, and his daughters are prisoners, in the hands of Sihon, king of the Amorites.

bbe@Numbers:21:31 @So Israel put up their tents in the land of the Amorites.

bbe@Numbers:21:35 @So they overcame him and his sons and his people, driving them all out: and they took his land for their heritage.

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

bbe@Numbers:22:3 @And in Moab there was great fear of the people, because their numbers were so great: and the feeling of Moab was bitter against the children of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:22:4 @Then Moab said to the responsible men of Midian, It is clear that this great people will be the destruction of everything round us, making a meal of us as the ox does of the grass of the field. At that time Balak, the son of Zippor, was king of Moab.

bbe@Numbers:22:5 @So he sent men to Balaam, son of Beor, at Pethor by the River in the land of the children of his people, saying to him, See, a people has come out of Egypt, covering all the face of the earth, and they have put up their tents opposite to me:

bbe@Numbers:22:7 @So the responsible men of Moab and Midian went away, taking in their hands rewards for the prophet; and they came to Balaam and said to him what Balak had given them orders to say.

bbe@Numbers:22:8 @And he said to them, Take your rest here tonight, and I will give you an answer after hearing what the Lord says; so the chiefs of Moab kept there with Balaam that night.

bbe@Numbers:22:10 @And Balaam said to God, Balak, the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent them to me, saying,

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:22:14 @So the chiefs of Moab went back to Balak and said, Balaam will not come with us.

bbe@Numbers:22:15 @So Balak sent more chiefs, greater in number and of higher position than the others.

bbe@Numbers:22:16 @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:22:19 @So take your rest here this night, till I have knowledge what more the Lord has to say to me.

bbe@Numbers:22:21 @So in the morning Balaam got up and, making his ass ready, went with the chiefs of Moab.

bbe@Numbers:23:6 @So he went back to him where he was waiting by his burned offering with all the chiefs of Moab.

bbe@Numbers:23:11 @Then Balak said to Balaam, What have you done to me? I sent for you so that my haters might be cursed, and see, you have given them a blessing.

bbe@Numbers:23:14 @So he took him into the country of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and there they made seven altars, offering an ox and a male sheep on every altar.

bbe@Numbers:23:17 @So he came to him where he was waiting by his burned offering with the chiefs of Moab by his side. And Balak said to him, What has the Lord said?

bbe@Numbers:23:18 @And in the words which the Lord had given him he said, Up! Balak, and give ear; give attention to me, O son of Zippor:

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:23:28 @So Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, looking down over the waste land.

bbe@Numbers:24:3 @And moved by the spirit, he said, These are the words of Balaam, son of Beor, the words of the man whose eyes are open:

bbe@Numbers:24:10 @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:24:14 @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:24:15 @Then he went on with his story and said, These are the words of Balaam, the son of Beor, the words of him whose eyes are open:

bbe@Numbers:24:17 @I see him, but not now: looking on him, but not near: a star will come out of Jacob, and a rod of authority out of Israel, sending destruction to the farthest limits of Moab and on the head of all the sons of Sheth.

bbe@Numbers:24:22 @But still the Kenites will be wasted, till Asshur takes you away prisoner.

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:25:4 @Then the Lord said to Moses, Take all the chiefs of the people, hanging them up in the sun before the Lord, so that the wrath of the Lord may be turned from 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:25:7 @And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, seeing it, got up from among the people and took a spear in his hand,

bbe@Numbers:25:8 @And went after the man of Israel into the tent, driving the spear through the two of them, through the man of Israel and through the stomach of the woman. So the disease was stopped among the children of Israel.

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:25:12 @So say to them that I will make with him an agreement of peace:

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:26:3 @So Moses and Eleazar the priest gave them the order in the lowlands of Moab by Jordan at Jericho, saying,

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:26:8 @And the sons of Pallu, Eliab

bbe@Numbers:26:9 @And the sons of Eliab: Nemuel and Dathan and Abiram. These are the same Dathan and Abiram who had a place in the meeting of the people, who together with Korah made an outcry against Moses and Aaron and against the Lord:

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

bbe@Numbers:26:12 @The sons of Simeon by their families: of Nemuel, the family of the Nemuelites: of Jamin, the family of the Jaminites: of Jachin, the family of the Jachinites:

bbe@Numbers:26:15 @The sons of Gad by their families: of Zephon, the family of the Zephonites: of Haggi, the family of the Haggites: of Shuni, the family of the Shunites:

bbe@Numbers:26:18 @These are the families of the sons of Gad as they were numbered, forty thousand, five hundred.

bbe@Numbers:26:19 @The sons of Judah, Er and Onan: and Er and Onan had come to their death in the land of Canaan.

bbe@Numbers:26:20 @And the sons of Judah by their families were: of Shelah, the family of the Shelahites: of Perez, the family of the Perezites: of Zerah, the family of the Zerahites.

bbe@Numbers:26:21 @And the sons of Perez were: of Hezron, the family of the Hezronites: of Hamul, the family of the Hamulites.

bbe@Numbers:26:23 @The sons of Issachar by their families: of Tola, the family of the Tolaites: of Puvah, the family of the Punites:

bbe@Numbers:26:26 @The sons of Zebulun by their families: of Sered, the family of the Seredites: of Elon, the family of the Elonites: of Jahleel, the family of the Jahleelites.

bbe@Numbers:26:28 @The sons of Joseph by their families: Manasseh and Ephraim.

bbe@Numbers:26:29 @The sons of Manasseh: of Machir, the family of the Machirites: and Machir was the father of Gilead: of Gilead, the family of the Gileadites.

bbe@Numbers:26:30 @These are the sons of Gilead: of Iezer, the family of the Iezerites: of Helek, the family of the Helekites:

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:26:35 @These are the sons of Ephraim by their families: of Shuthelah, the family of the Shuthelahites: of Becher, the family of the Becherites: of Tahan, the family of the Tahanites.

bbe@Numbers:26:36 @And these are the sons of Shuthelah: of Eran, the family of the Eranites:

bbe@Numbers:26:37 @These are the families of Ephraim as they were numbered, thirty-two thousand, five hundred. These are the sons of Joseph by their families.

bbe@Numbers:26:38 @The sons of Benjamin by their families: of Bela, the family of the Belaites: of Ashbel, the family of the Ashbelites: of Ahiram, the family of the Ahiramites:

bbe@Numbers:26:40 @And the sons of Bela were Ard and Naaman: of Ard, the family of the Ardites: of Naaman, the family of the Naamites.

bbe@Numbers:26:41 @These are the sons of Benjamin by their families: and those who were numbered of them were forty-five thousand, six hundred.

bbe@Numbers:26:42 @These are the sons of Dan by their families: of Shuham, the family of the Shuhamites. These are the families of Dan by their families.

bbe@Numbers:26:44 @The sons of Asher by their families: of Imnah, the family of the Imnites: of Ishvi, the family of the Ishvites: of Beriah, the family of the Beriites.

bbe@Numbers:26:45 @Of the sons of Beriah: of Heber, the family of the Heberites: of Malchiel, the family of the Malchielites:

bbe@Numbers:26:47 @These are the families of the sons of Asher as they were numbered, fifty-three thousand, four hundred.

bbe@Numbers:26:48 @The sons of Naphtali by their families: of Jahzeel, the family of the Jahzeelites: of Guni, the family of the Gunites:

bbe@Numbers:26:60 @Aaron's sons were Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

bbe@Numbers:26:65 @For the Lord had said of them, Death will certainly overtake them in the waste land. And of them all, only Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, the son of Nun, were still living.

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:27:5 @So Moses put their cause before the Lord.

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:27:12 @And the Lord said to Moses, Go up into this mountain of Abarim so that you may see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.

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:27:18 @And the Lord said to Moses, Take Joshua, the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and put your hand on him;

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

bbe@Numbers:27:21 @He will take his place before Eleazar the priest, so that he may get directions from the Lord for him, with the Urim: at his word they will go out, and at his word they will come in, he and all the children of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:27:22 @So Moses did as the Lord said: he took Joshua and put him before Eleazar the priest and the meeting of the people:

bbe@Numbers:28:16 @And in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, is the Lord's Passover.

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: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:29:40 @So Moses gave the children of Israel all these directions as the Lord had given him orders.

bbe@Numbers:30:15 @But if at some time after hearing of them, he makes them without force, then he is responsible for her wrongdoing.

bbe@Numbers:31:3 @So Moses said to the people, Let men from among you be armed for war to put into effect against Midian the Lord's punishment on them.

bbe@Numbers:31:5 @So from the thousands of Israel a thousand were taken from every tribe, twelve thousand men armed for war.

bbe@Numbers:31:6 @And Moses sent them out to war, a thousand from every tribe, and with them Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest, taking in his hands the vessels of the holy place and the horns for sounding the note of war.

bbe@Numbers:31:8 @They put the kings of Midian to death with the rest, Evi and Reken and Zur and Hur and Reba, the five kings of Midian: and Balaam, the son of Beor, they put to death with the sword.

bbe@Numbers:31:9 @The women of Midian with their little ones the children of Israel took prisoner; and all their cattle and flocks and all their goods they took for themselves;

bbe@Numbers:31:12 @And the prisoners and the goods and everything they had taken, they took to Moses and Eleazar the priest and the people of Israel, to the tent-circle in the lowlands of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.

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:31:19 @You yourselves will have to keep outside the tent-circle for seven days, anyone of you who has put any person to death or come near a dead body; and on the third day and on the seventh day make yourselves and your prisoners clean.

bbe@Numbers:31:28 @And from the men of war who went out let there be offered to the Lord one out of every five hundred, from the persons, and from the oxen and asses and sheep:

bbe@Numbers:31:30 @And from the part given to the children of Israel, take one out of every fifty, from the persons, and from the oxen and asses and sheep, and give it to the Levites who have the care of the House of the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:31:31 @So Eleazar and Moses did as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

bbe@Numbers:31:35 @And thirty-two thousand persons, that is, women who had never had sex relations with a man.

bbe@Numbers:31:40 @And the number of persons was sixteen thousand, of which the Lord's part was thirty-two persons.

bbe@Numbers:31:46 @And sixteen thousand persons;)

bbe@Numbers:31:50 @And we have here an offering for the Lord from what every man took in the war, ornaments of gold, leg-chains and arm-rings, finger-rings, ear-rings, and neck-ornaments, to make our souls free from sin before the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:31:51 @So Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from them, even all the worked ornaments.

bbe@Numbers:32:8 @So did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land.

bbe@Numbers:32:12 @But only Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua, the son of Nun: because they have been true to the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:32:24 @So get to work building your towns for your little ones, and safe places for your sheep; and do as you have said.

bbe@Numbers:32:28 @So Moses gave orders about them to Eleazar the priest and to Joshua, the son of Nun, and to the heads of families of the tribes of the children of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:32:31 @Then the children of Gad and the children of Reuben said, As the Lord has said to your servants, so will we do.

bbe@Numbers:32:33 @So Moses gave to them, even to the children of Gad and the children of Reuben and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorites and Og, king of Bashan, all the land with its towns and the country round them.

bbe@Numbers:32:39 @And the children of Machir, the son of Manasseh, went to Gilead and took it, driving out the Amorites who were living there.

bbe@Numbers:32:40 @And Moses gave Gilead to Machir, the son of Manasseh; and he made it his living-place.

bbe@Numbers:32:41 @And Jair, the son of Manasseh, went and took the towns of Gilead, naming them Havvoth-Jair.

bbe@Numbers:33:3 @On the fifteenth day of the first month they went out from Rameses; on the day after the Passover the children of Israel went out by the power of the Lord before the eyes of all the Egyptians,

bbe@Numbers:33:4 @While the Egyptians were placing in the earth the bodies of their sons on whom the Lord had sent destruction: and their gods had been judged by him.

bbe@Numbers:33:5 @So the children of Israel went from Rameses and put up their tents in Succoth.

bbe@Numbers:33:40 @And news of the coming of the children of Israel came to the king of Arad, the Canaanite, who was living in the South in the land of Canaan.

bbe@Numbers:33:56 @And it will come about that as it was my purpose to do to them, so I will do to you.

bbe@Numbers:34:3 @Then your south quarter will be from the waste land of Zin by the side of Edom, and your limit on the south will be from the east end of the Salt Sea,

bbe@Numbers:34:4 @And round to the south of the slope of Akrabbim, and on to Zin: and its direction will be south of Kadesh-barnea, and it will go as far as Hazar-addar and on to Azmon:

bbe@Numbers:34:12 @And so down to Jordan, stretching to the Salt Sea: all the land inside these limits will be yours.

bbe@Numbers:34:17 @These are the names of the men who are to make the distribution of the land among you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua, the son of Nun.

bbe@Numbers:34:19 @And these are the names of the men: of the tribe of Judah, Caleb, the son of Jephunneh.

bbe@Numbers:34:20 @And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel, the son of Ammihud.

bbe@Numbers:34:21 @Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad, the son of Chislon.

bbe@Numbers:34:22 @And of the tribe of the children of Dan, a chief, Bukki, the son of Jogli.

bbe@Numbers:34:23 @Of the children of Joseph: of the tribe of the children of Manasseh, a chief, Hanniel, the son of Ephod:

bbe@Numbers:34:24 @And of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, a chief, Kemuel, the son of Shiphtan.

bbe@Numbers:34:25 @And of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, a chief, Elizaphan, the son of Parnach.

bbe@Numbers:34:26 @And of the tribe of the children of Issachar, a chief, Paltiel, the son of Azzan.

bbe@Numbers:34:27 @And of the tribe of the children of Asher, a chief, Ahihud, the son of Shelomi.

bbe@Numbers:34:28 @And of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, a chief, Pedahel, the son of Ammihud.

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:35:12 @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:35:22 @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:35:33 @So do not make the land where you are living unholy: for blood makes the land unholy: and there is no way of making the land free from the blood which has come on it, but only by the death of him who was the cause of it.

bbe@Numbers:36:1 @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:36:5 @So by the direction of the Lord, Moses gave orders to the children of Israel, saying, What the tribe of the sons of Joseph have said is right.

bbe@Numbers:36:7 @And so no property will be handed from tribe to tribe among the children of Israel; but every one of the children of Israel will keep the heritage of his father's tribe.

bbe@Numbers:36:8 @And every daughter owning property in any tribe of the children of Israel is to be married to one of the family of her father's tribe, so that every man of the children of Israel may keep the heritage of his fathers.

bbe@Numbers:36:10 @So the daughters of Zelophehad did as the Lord gave orders to Moses:

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@Numbers:36:12 @And were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, and their property was kept in the tribe of their father's family

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:1:15 @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:1:25 @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:1:28 @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:1:31 @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:1:36 @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:1:38 @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:1:46 @So you were kept waiting in Kadesh for a long time.

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:2:8 @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:2:13 @Get up now, and go over the stream Zered. So we went over the stream Zered.

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

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

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:3:14 @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:3:21 @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:3:27 @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:3:29 @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:4:5 @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:4:12 @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:4:14 @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:4:23 @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:4:25 @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:4:29 @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:4:35 @All this he let you see, so that you might be certain that the Lord is God and there is no other.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:39 @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:4:42 @To which anyone causing the death of his neighbour in error and not through hate, might go in flight; so that in one of these towns he might be kept from death:

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:1 @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:5:6 @I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house.

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:5:29 @If only they had such a heart in them at all times, so that they might go in fear of me and keep my orders and that it might be well for them and for their children for ever!

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:31 @But as for you, keep your place here by me, and I will give you all the orders and the laws and the decisions which you are to make clear to them, so that they may do them in the land which I am giving them for their heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:33 @Go on walking in the way ordered for you by the Lord your God, so that life may be yours and it may be well for you, and your days may be long in the land of your heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:1 @Now these are the orders and the laws and the decisions which the Lord your God gave me for your teaching, so that you might do them in the land of your heritage to which you are going:

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:2 @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:6:5 @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:6:12 @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:6:18 @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:6:20 @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:6:24 @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: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:7:8 @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:7:11 @So keep the orders and the laws and the decisions which I give you today and do them.

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:7:26 @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:8:5 @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:8:13 @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:8:18 @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:8:20 @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:9:2 @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:9:15 @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:9:25 @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: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:10:6 @(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:10:9 @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:10:11 @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:10:19 @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:10:22 @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:11:6 @And what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben; when they went down into the open mouth of the earth, with their families and their tents and every living thing which was theirs, before the eyes of all Israel:

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:8 @So keep all the orders which I give you today, so that you may be strong, and go in and take the land which is to be your heritage;

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:13 @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:11:21 @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:12:4 @Do not so to the Lord your God.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:12 @And you will be glad before the Lord your God, you and your sons and your daughters, and your men-servants and your women-servants, and the Levite who is with you in your house, because he has no part or heritage among you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:15 @Only you may put to death animals, such as the gazelle or the roe, for your food in any of your towns, at the desire of your soul, in keeping with the blessing of the Lord your God which he has given you: the unclean and the clean may take of it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:18 @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:12:25 @Do not take it for food; so that it may be well for you and for your children after you, while you do what is right in the eyes of the Lord.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:28 @Take note of all these orders I am giving you and give attention to them, so that it may be well for you and for your children after you for ever, while you do what is good and right in the eyes of the Lord your God.

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

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:3 @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:13:5 @And that prophet or that dreamer of dreams is to be put to death; for his words were said with the purpose of turning you away from the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt and made you free from the prison-house; and of forcing you out of the way in which the Lord your God has given you orders to go. So you are to put away the evil from among you.

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

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:10 @Let him be stoned with stones till he is dead; because it was his purpose to make you false to the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house.

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

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:17 @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:14:7 @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:14:13 @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:14:18 @The stork and the heron and birds of that sort, and the hoopoe and the bat.

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:14:26 @And with the money get whatever you have a desire for, oxen or sheep or wine or strong drink, whatever your soul's desire may be: and make a feast there before the Lord your God, and be glad, you and all your house;

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:29 @And the Levite, because he has no part or heritage in the land, and the man from a strange country, and the child who has no father, and the widow, who are living among you, will come and take food and have enough; and so the blessing of the Lord your God will be on you in everything you do.

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:9 @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:15:11 @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:15:15 @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: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:16:5 @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:16:11 @Then you are to be glad before the Lord your God, you and your son and your daughter, your man-servant and your woman-servant, and the Levite who is with you, and the man from a strange country, and the child without a father, and the widow, who are living among you, in the place marked out by the Lord your God as a resting-place for his name.

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:14 @You are to keep the feast with joy, you and your son and your daughter, your man-servant and your woman-servant, and the Levite, and the man from a strange country, and the child without a father, and the widow, who are living among you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:20 @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: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:17:19 @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:18:5 @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:18:10 @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:18:14 @For these nations, whose land you are taking, give attention to readers of signs and to those using secret arts: but the Lord your God will not let you do so.

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

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:19:13 @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:19:19 @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: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:20:15 @So you are to do to all the towns far away, which are not the towns of these nations.

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: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:21:9 @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:21:13 @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:21:15 @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:21:20 @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:21:23 @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:22:7 @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:22:11 @Do not have clothing made of two sorts of thread, wool and linen together.

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:22:24 @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: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:23:14 @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:23:17 @No daughter of Israel is to let herself be used as a loose woman for a strange god, and no son of Israel is to give himself to a man.

bbe@Deuteronomy:23:20 @From men of other nations you may take interest, but not from an Israelite: so that the blessing of the Lord your God may be on everything to which you put your hand, in the land which you are about to take as your heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:24:1 @If a man takes a wife, and after they are married she is unpleasing to him because of some bad quality in her, let him give her a statement in writing and send her away from his house.

bbe@Deuteronomy:24:6 @No one is to take, on account of a debt, the stones with which grain is crushed: for in doing so he takes a man's living.

bbe@Deuteronomy:24:7 @If a man takes by force one of his countrymen, the children of Israel, using him as his property or getting a price for him, that thief is to be put to death: so you are to put away evil from among you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:24:8 @In connection with the leper's disease, take care to keep and do every detail of the teaching of the priests, the Levites: as I gave them orders, so you are to do.

bbe@Deuteronomy:24:13 @But be certain to give it back to him when the sun goes down, so that he may have his clothing for sleeping in, and will give you his blessing: and this will be put to your account as righteousness before the Lord your God.

bbe@Deuteronomy:24:19 @When you get in the grain from your field, if some of the grain has been dropped by chance in the field, do not go back and get it, but let it be for the man from a strange land, the child without a father, and the widow: so that the blessing of the Lord your God may be on all the work of your hands.

bbe@Deuteronomy:24:20 @When you are shaking the fruit from your olive-trees, do not go over the branches a second time: let some be for the man from a strange land, the child without a father, and the widow

bbe@Deuteronomy:25:5 @If brothers are living together and one of them, at his death, has no son, the wife of the dead man is not to be married outside the family to another man: let her husband's brother go in to her and make her his wife, doing as it is right for a brother-in-law to do.

bbe@Deuteronomy:25:6 @Then the first male child she has will take the rights of the brother who is dead, so that his name may not come to an end in Israel.

bbe@Deuteronomy:25:9 @Then his brother's wife is to come to him, before the responsible men of the town, and take his shoe off his foot, and put shame on him, and say, So let it be done to the man who will not take care of his brother's name

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:25:19 @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:26:10 @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:26:12 @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:26:15 @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: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:27:15 @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:27:26 @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:28:22 @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:28:27 @The Lord will send on you the disease of Egypt, and other sorts of skin diseases which nothing will make well.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:32 @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:28:34 @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:28:41 @You will have sons and daughters, but they will not be yours; for they will go away prisoners into a strange land.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:53 @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:28:56 @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:28:63 @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:28:65 @And even among these nations there will be no peace for you, and no rest for your feet: but the Lord will give you there a shaking heart and wasting eyes and weariness of soul:

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

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

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:13 @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:29:18 @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:29:23 @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:29:27 @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:29:29 @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:30:2 @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:30:6 @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:30:10 @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:30:12 @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:30:16 @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:30:19 @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:31:8 @It is the Lord who goes before you; he will be with you, he will not take away his help from you or give you up: so have no fear.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:9 @Then Moses put all this law in writing, and gave it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who take up the ark of the Lord's agreement, and to all the responsible men of Israel.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:12 @Make all the people come together, men and women and children, and anyone from another country who is with you, so that hearing they may become wise in the fear of the Lord your God, and take care to do all the words of this law;

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:13 @And so that your children, to whom it is new, may give ear and be trained in the fear of the Lord your God, while you are living in the land which you are going over Jordan to take for your heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:14 @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:31:17 @In that day my wrath will be moved against them, and I will be turned away from them, veiling my face from them, and destruction will overtake them, and unnumbered evils and troubles will come on them; so that in that day they will say, Have not these evils come on us because our God is not with us?

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:19 @Make then this song for yourselves, teaching it to the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, so that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:21 @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:31:26 @Take this book of the law and put it by the ark of the Lord's agreement, so that it may be a witness against you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:28 @Get together before me all those who are in authority in your tribes, and your overseers, so that I may say these things in their hearing, and make heaven and earth my witnesses against them.

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

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:12 @So the Lord only was his guide, no other god was with him.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:19 @And the Lord saw with disgust the evil-doing of his sons and daughters.

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:32:32 @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:32:42 @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:32:44 @So Moses said all the words of this song in the hearing of the people, he and Hoshea, the son of Nun.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:52 @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:33:25 @Your shoes will be iron and brass; and as your days, so may your work be.

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

bbe@Deuteronomy:34:8 @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@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:1:5 @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:1:8 @Let this book of the law be ever on your lips and in your thoughts day and night, so that you may keep with care everything in it; then a blessing will be on all your way, and you will do well.

bbe@Joshua:1:17 @As we gave attention to Moses in all things, so we will give attention to you: and may the Lord your God be with you as he was with Moses.

bbe@Joshua:2:1 @Then Joshua, the son of Nun, sent two men from Shittim secretly, with the purpose of searching out the land, and Jericho. So they went and came to the house of a loose woman of the town, named Rahab, where they took their rest for the night.

bbe@Joshua:2:2 @And it was said to the king of Jericho, See, some men have come here tonight from the children of Israel with the purpose of searching out the land.

bbe@Joshua:2:7 @So the men went after them on the road to Jordan as far as the river-crossing: and when they had gone out after them, the door into the town was shut.

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:2:23 @Then the two men came down from the hill-country and went over and came back to Joshua, the son of Nun; and they gave him a complete account of what had taken place.

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:3:6 @Then Joshua said to the priests, Take up the ark of the agreement and go over in front of the people. So they took up the ark of the agreement and went in front of the people.

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:3:12 @So take twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, a man from every tribe.

bbe@Joshua:3:14 @So when the people went out from their tents to go over Jordan, the priests who took up the ark of the agreement were in front of the people;

bbe@Joshua:4:4 @So Joshua sent for the twelve men, whom he had ready, one man out of every tribe of the children of Israel,

bbe@Joshua:4:6 @So that this may be a sign among you; when your children say to you in time to come, What is the reason for these stones?

bbe@Joshua:4:8 @So the children of Israel did as Joshua gave them orders, and took twelve stones from the middle of Jordan, as the Lord had said to Joshua, one for every tribe of the children of Israel; these they took across with them to their night's resting-place and put them down there.

bbe@Joshua:4:17 @So Joshua gave orders to the priests, saying, Come up now out of Jordan.

bbe@Joshua:4:19 @So on the tenth day of the first month the people came up out of Jordan, and put up their tents in Gilgal, on the east side of Jericho.

bbe@Joshua:4:21 @And he said to the children of Israel, When your children say to their fathers in time to come, What is the reason for these stones?

bbe@Joshua:4:24 @So that all the peoples of the earth may see that the hand of the Lord is strong; and that they may go in fear of the Lord your God for ever.

bbe@Joshua:5:3 @So Joshua made stone knives and gave the children of Israel circumcision at Gibeath-ha-araloth.

bbe@Joshua:5:4 @And this is the reason why Joshua did so: all the males of the people who came out of Egypt, all the fighting-men, had been overtaken by death in the waste land on the way, after they came out of Egypt.

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

bbe@Joshua:5:9 @And the Lord said to Joshua, Today the shame of Egypt has been rolled away from you. So that place was named Gilgal, to this day.

bbe@Joshua:5:10 @So the children of Israel put up their tents in Gilgal; and they kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, in the lowlands of Jericho.

bbe@Joshua:5:11 @And on the day after the Passover, they had for their food the produce of the land, unleavened cakes and dry grain on the same day.

bbe@Joshua:5:15 @And the captain of the Lord's army said to Joshua, Take off your shoes from your feet, for the place where you are is holy. And Joshua did so.

bbe@Joshua:6:4 @And let seven priests go before the ark with seven loud-sounding horns in their hands: on the seventh day you are to go round the town seven times, the priests blowing their horns.

bbe@Joshua:6:5 @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:6:6 @Then Joshua, the son of Nun, sent for the priests and said to them, Take up the ark of the agreement, and let seven priests take seven horns in their hands and go before the ark of the Lord.

bbe@Joshua:6:8 @So after Joshua had said this to the people, the seven priests with their seven horns went forward before the Lord, blowing on their horns: and the ark of the Lord's agreement went after them.

bbe@Joshua:6:10 @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:6:11 @So he made the ark of the Lord go all round the town once: then they went back to the tents for the night.

bbe@Joshua:6:14 @The second day they went all round the town once, and then went back to their tents: and so they did for six days

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:6:18 @And as for you, keep yourselves from the cursed thing, for fear that you may get a desire for it and take some of it for yourselves, and so be the cause of a curse and great trouble on the tents of Israel.

bbe@Joshua:6:20 @So the people gave a loud cry, and the horns were sounded; and on hearing the horns the people gave a loud cry, and the wall came down flat, so that the people went up into the town, every man going straight before him, and they took the town.

bbe@Joshua:6:23 @So the searchers went in and got out Rahab and her father and mother and her brothers and all she had, and they got out all her family; and they took them outside the tents of Israel.

bbe@Joshua:6:25 @But Joshua kept Rahab, the loose woman, and her father's family and all she had, from death, and so she got a living-place among the children of Israel to this day; because she kept safe the men whom Joshua had sent to make a search through the land.

bbe@Joshua:6:26 @Then Joshua gave the people orders with an oath, saying, Let that man be cursed before the Lord who puts his hand to the building up of this town: with the loss of his first son will he put the first stone of it in place, and with the loss of his youngest son he will put up its doors.

bbe@Joshua:6:27 @So the Lord was with Joshua; and news of him went through all the land.

bbe@Joshua:7:1 @But the children of Israel did wrong about the cursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the family of Judah, took of the cursed thing, moving the Lord to wrath against the children of Israel.

bbe@Joshua:7:4 @So about three thousand of the people went up, and were sent in flight by the men of Ai.

bbe@Joshua:7:12 @For this reason the children of Israel have given way, turning their backs in flight before their attackers, because they are cursed: I will no longer be with you, if you do not put the cursed thing away from among you.

bbe@Joshua:7:14 @So in the morning you are to come near, tribe by tribe; and the tribe marked out by the Lord is to come near, family by family; and the family marked out by the Lord is to come near, house by house; and the house marked out by the Lord is to come near, man by man.

bbe@Joshua:7:16 @So Joshua got up early in the morning, and made Israel come before him by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken;

bbe@Joshua:7:18 @Then the house of Zabdi came forward man by man, and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.

bbe@Joshua:7:19 @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:7:22 @So Joshua sent men quickly, and looking in his tent, they saw where the robe had been put away secretly with the silver under it.

bbe@Joshua:7:24 @Then Joshua and all Israel took Achan, the son of Zerah, and the silver and the robe and the mass of gold, and his sons and his daughters and his oxen and his asses and his sheep and his tent and everything he had; and they took them up into the valley of Achor.

bbe@Joshua:7:26 @And over him they put a great mass of stones, which is there to this day; then the heat of the Lord's wrath was turned away. So that place was named, The Valley of Achor, to this day.

bbe@Joshua:8:3 @So Joshua and the fighting-men got ready to go up against Ai; and Joshua took thirty thousand men of war, and sent them out by night.

bbe@Joshua:8:6 @And they will come out after us, till we have got them away from the town; for they will say, They have gone in flight from us as before; so we will go in flight before them;

bbe@Joshua:8:9 @So Joshua sent them out: and they took up a secret position between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but Joshua kept with the people that night.

bbe@Joshua:8:13 @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:8:22 @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:8:23 @But the king of Ai they made prisoner, and took him to Joshua.

bbe@Joshua:8:28 @So Joshua gave Ai to the flames, and made it a waste mass of stones for ever, as it is to this day.

bbe@Joshua: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:9:14 @And the men took some of their food, without requesting directions from the Lord.

bbe@Joshua:9:15 @So Joshua made peace with them, and made an agreement with them that they were not to be put to death: and the chiefs of the people took an oath to them.

bbe@Joshua:9:19 @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:9:24 @And, answering Joshua, they said, Because it came to the ears of your servants that the Lord your God had given orders to his servant Moses to give you all this land, and to send destruction on all the people living in it, because of you; so, fearing greatly for our lives because of you, we have done this.

bbe@Joshua:9:26 @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:10:3 @So Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, sent to Hoham, king of Hebron, and to Piram, king of Jarmuth, and to Japhia, king of Lachish, and to Debir, king of Eglon, saying,

bbe@Joshua:10:5 @So the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon, were banded together, and went up with all their armies and took up their position before Gibeon and made war against it.

bbe@Joshua:10:7 @So Joshua went up from Gilgal with all his army and all his men of war.

bbe@Joshua:10:9 @So Joshua, having come up from Gilgal all night, made a sudden attack on them

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:10:23 @And they did so, and made those five kings come out of the hole to him, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.

bbe@Joshua:10:24 @And when they had made those kings come out to Joshua, Joshua sent for all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war who had gone with him, Come near and put your feet on the necks of these kings. So they came near and put their feet on their necks.

bbe@Joshua:10:25 @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:10:28 @That day Joshua took Makkedah, and put it and its king to the sword; every soul in it he gave up to the curse without mercy: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.

bbe@Joshua:10:30 @And again the Lord gave it and its king into the hands of Israel; and he put it and every person in it to the sword, till their destruction was complete; and he did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.

bbe@Joshua:10:32 @And the Lord gave Lachish into the hands of Israel, and on the second day he took it, putting it and every person in it to the sword without mercy, as he had done to Libnah.

bbe@Joshua:10:35 @And that day they took it, putting it and every person in it to the sword, as he had done to Lachish.

bbe@Joshua:10:37 @And took it, overcoming it and putting it and its king and its towns and every person in it to the sword: as he had done to Eglon, he put them all to death, and gave it up to the curse with every person in it.

bbe@Joshua:10:39 @And he took it, with its king and all its towns: and he put them to the sword, giving every person in it to the curse; all were put to death: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir and its king.

bbe@Joshua:10:40 @So Joshua overcame all the land, the hill-country and the South and the lowland and the mountain slopes, and all their kings; all were put to death: and every living thing he gave up to the curse, as the Lord, the God of Israel, had given him orders.

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:11:7 @So Joshua and all the men of war with him came against them suddenly at the waters of Merom, and made an attack on them.

bbe@Joshua:11:11 @And they put every person in it to death without mercy, giving every living thing up to the curse, and burning Hazor

bbe@Joshua:11:15 @As the Lord had given orders to Moses his servant, so Moses gave orders to Joshua, and so Joshua did; every order which the Lord had given to Moses was done.

bbe@Joshua:11:16 @So Joshua took all that land, the hill-country and all the South, and all the land of Goshen, and the lowland and the Arabah, the hill-country of Israel and its lowland;

bbe@Joshua:11:20 @For the Lord made them strong in heart to go to war against Israel, so that he might give them up to the curse without mercy, and that destruction might come on them, as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

bbe@Joshua:11:22 @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:11:23 @So Joshua took all the land, as the Lord had said to Moses; and Joshua gave it to the children of Israel as their heritage, making division of it among them by their tribes. And the land had rest from war.

bbe@Joshua:12:3 @And the Arabah to the sea of Chinneroth, to the east, and to the sea of the Arabah, that is the Salt Sea, to the east, the way to Beth-jeshimoth; and on the south, under the slopes of Pisgah:

bbe@Joshua:12:8 @In the hill-country, and in the lowland, and in the Arabah, and on the mountain slopes, and in the waste land, and in the South; the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

bbe@Joshua:13:4 @On the south: all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah which is the property of the Zidonians, to Aphek, as far as the limit of the Amorites:

bbe@Joshua:13:7 @So now make division of this land for a heritage to the nine tribes, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.

bbe@Joshua:13:22 @And Balaam, the son of Beor, the prophet, the children of Israel put to death with the sword.

bbe@Joshua:13:31 @And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, towns of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the children of Machir, the son of Manasseh, for half of the children of Machir by their families.

bbe@Joshua:14:1 @And these are the heritages which the children of Israel took in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar, the priest, and Joshua, the son of Nun, and the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, gave out to them;

bbe@Joshua:14:5 @As the Lord had given orders to Moses, so the people of Israel did, and they made division of the land.

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:14:11 @And still, I am as strong today as I was when Moses sent me out: as my strength was then, so is it now, for war and for all the business of life.

bbe@Joshua:14:12 @So now, give me this hill-country named by the Lord at that time; for you had an account of it then, how the Anakim were there, and great walled towns: it may be that the Lord will be with me, and I will be able to take their land, as the Lord said.

bbe@Joshua:14:13 @And Joshua gave him his blessing; and he gave Hebron to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, for his heritage.

bbe@Joshua:14:14 @So Hebron became the heritage of Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, to this day, because with all his heart he was true to the Lord, the God of Israel.

bbe@Joshua:15:1 @Now the part of the land marked out for the children of Judah by families, went up to the edge of Edom, as far as the waste land of Zin to the south, to the farthest point of it on the south.

bbe@Joshua:15:2 @Their south limit was from the farthest part of the Salt Sea, from the inlet looking to the south:

bbe@Joshua:15:3 @From there it goes south of the slope up to Akrabbim, and on to Zin, then south past Kadesh-barnea, and on by Hezron and up to Addar, turning in the direction of Karka:

bbe@Joshua:15:4 @Then on to Azmon, ending at the stream of Egypt: and the end of the limit is at the sea; this will be your limit on the south.

bbe@Joshua:15:6 @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:15:13 @And to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, he gave a part among the children of Judah, as the Lord had given orders to Joshua, that is, Kiriath-arba, named after Arba, the father of Anak which is Hebron.

bbe@Joshua:15:14 @And the three sons of Anak, Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai, the children of Anak, were forced out from there by Caleb.

bbe@Joshua:15:17 @And Othniel, the son of Kenaz, Caleb's brother, took it: so he gave him his daughter Achsah for his wife.

bbe@Joshua:15:19 @And she said, Give me a blessing; because you have put me in dry south-land, now give me springs of water

bbe@Joshua:15:21 @The farthest towns of the tribe of Judah in the direction of the limits of Edom to the south, were Kabzeel, and Eder, and Jagur;

bbe@Joshua:15:35 @Jarmuth, and Adullam, Socoh, and Azekah;

bbe@Joshua:15:48 @And in the hill-country, Shamir, and Jattir, and Socoh;

bbe@Joshua:17:1 @And this was the part marked out for the tribe of Manasseh, because he was the oldest son of Joseph. As for Machir, the oldest son of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because he was a man of war he had Gilead and Bashan.

bbe@Joshua:17:2 @And as for the rest of the children of Manasseh, their heritage was given to them by families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these were the male children of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, by their families.

bbe@Joshua:17:3 @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:17:4 @And they came before Eleazar the priest, and Joshua, the son of Nun, and before the chiefs, saying, The Lord gave orders to Moses to give us a heritage among our brothers: so in agreement with the orders of the Lord he gave them a heritage among their father's brothers.

bbe@Joshua:17:6 @Because the daughters of Manasseh had a heritage among his sons, and the land of Gilead was the property of the other sons of Manasseh.

bbe@Joshua:17:9 @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:18:3 @Then Joshua said to the children of Israel, Why are you so slow to go in and take up your heritage in the land which the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given you?

bbe@Joshua:18:5 @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:18:8 @So the men got up and went; and Joshua gave orders to those who went, to make a record of the land, saying, Go up and down through the land, and make a record of it and come back here to me, and I will make the distribution for you here by the decision of the Lord in Shiloh.

bbe@Joshua:18:9 @So the men went, travelling through the land, and made a record of it by towns in seven parts in a book, and came back to Joshua to the tent-circle at Shiloh.

bbe@Joshua:18:13 @And from there the line goes south to Luz, to the side of Luz (which is Beth-el), then down to Ataroth-addar, by the mountain to the south of Beth-horon the lower.

bbe@Joshua:18:14 @And the limit is marked as coming round to the south on the west side from the mountain which is south of Beth-horon, and ending at Kiriath-baal (which is Kiriath-jearim), a town of the children of Judah: this is the west part.

bbe@Joshua:18:15 @And the south part is from the farthest point of Kiriath-jearim, and the line goes out to the west to the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah:

bbe@Joshua:18:16 @And the line goes down to the farthest part of the mountain facing the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is on the north of the valley of Rephaim: from there it goes down to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite on the south as far as En-rogel;

bbe@Joshua:18:17 @And it goes to En-shemesh and on to Geliloth, opposite the way up to Adummim, and it goes down to the stone of Bohan, the son of Reuben;

bbe@Joshua:18:19 @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:19:8 @And all the unwalled places round about these towns as far as Baalath-beer-ramah to the south. This is the heritage of the tribe of Simeon by their families.

bbe@Joshua:19:9 @The heritage of Simeon was taken out of Judah's stretch of land, for Judah's part was more than they had need of, so the heritage of the children of Simeon was inside their heritage.

bbe@Joshua:19:34 @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:19:49 @So the distribution of the land and its limits was complete; and the children of Israel gave Joshua, the son of Nun, a heritage among them;

bbe@Joshua:19:51 @These are the heritages which Eleazar the priest and Joshua, the son of Nun, and the heads of families of the tribes of the children of Israel gave out at Shiloh, by the decision of the Lord, at the door of the Tent of meeting. So the distribution of the land was complete.

bbe@Joshua:20:3 @So that any man who in error and without design has taken the life of another, may go in flight to them: and they will be safe places for you from him who has the right of punishment for blood.

bbe@Joshua:20:7 @So they made selection of Kedesh in Galilee in the hill-country of Naphtali, and Shechem in the hill-country of Ephraim, and Kiriath-arba (which is Hebron) in the hill-country of Judah.

bbe@Joshua:20:9 @These were the towns marked out for all the children of Israel and for the man from a strange country living among them, so that anyone causing the death of another in error, might go in flight there, and not be put to death by him who has the right of punishment for blood till he had come before the meeting of the people.

bbe@Joshua:21:1 @Then the heads of the families of the Levites came to Eleazar the priest and Joshua, the son of Nun, and to the heads of families of the tribes of the children of Israel;

bbe@Joshua:21:12 @But the open country round the town, and its unwalled places, they gave to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, as his property.

bbe@Joshua:21:43 @So the Lord gave to Israel all the land which he gave by oath to their fathers; so it became their heritage and their living-place.

bbe@Joshua:22:4 @And now the Lord your God has given your brothers rest, as he said: so now you may go back to your tents, to the land of your heritage, which Moses, the Lord's servant, gave to you on the other side of Jordan.

bbe@Joshua:22:5 @Only take great care to do the orders and the law which Moses, the Lord's servant, gave you; to have love for the Lord your God and to go in all his ways; and to keep his laws and to be true to him and to be his servants with all your heart and with all your soul.

bbe@Joshua:22:9 @So Reuben and Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh went back, parting from the children of Israel at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, to go to the land of Gilead, to the land of their heritage which had been given to them by the Lord's order to Moses.

bbe@Joshua:22:13 @And the children of Israel sent Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest, to the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead,

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:22:25 @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:22:31 @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:22:32 @Then Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest, and the chiefs went back from the land of Gilead, from the children of Reuben and the children of Gad, and came to the children of Israel in Canaan and gave them the news.

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:23:11 @So keep watch on yourselves, and see that you have love for the Lord your God.

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:23:15 @And you will see that, as all the good things which the Lord your God undertook to do for you, have come to you, so the Lord will send down on you all the evil things till he has made your destruction complete, and you are cut off from the good land which the Lord your God has given you.

bbe@Joshua:24:9 @Then Balak, the son of Zippor, king of Moab, went up to war against Israel; and he sent for Balaam, the son of Beor, to put a curse on 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:24:14 @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:24:17 @For it is the Lord our God who has taken us and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house, and who did all those great signs before our eyes, and kept us safe on all our journeys, and among all the peoples through whom we went:

bbe@Joshua:24:18 @And the Lord sent out from before us all the peoples, the Amorites living in the land: so we will be the servants of the Lord, for he is our God.

bbe@Joshua:24:25 @So Joshua made an agreement with the people that day, and gave them a rule and a law in Shechem.

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:24:32 @And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel had taken up from Egypt, they put in the earth in Shechem, in the property which Jacob had got from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem, for a hundred shekels: and they became the heritage of the children of Joseph.

bbe@Joshua:24:33 @Then the death of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, took place; and his body was put in the earth in the hill of Phinehas his son, which had been given to him in the hill-country of Ephraim.

bbe@Judges:1:3 @Then Judah said to Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my heritage, so that we may make war against the Canaanites; and I will then go with you into your heritage. So Simeon went with him.

bbe@Judges:1:7 @And Adoni-zedek said, Seventy kings, whose thumbs and great toes had been cut off, got broken meat under my table: as I have done, so has God done to me in full. And they took him to Jerusalem, and he came to his end there.

bbe@Judges:1:9 @After that the children of Judah went down to make war on the Canaanites living in the hill-country and in the south and in the lowlands.

bbe@Judges:1:13 @And Othniel, the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it; so he gave him his daughter Achsah for his wife.

bbe@Judges:1:15 @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:1:20 @And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had said; and he took the land of the three sons of Anak, driving them out from there.

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:1:25 @So he made clear to them the way into the town, and they put it to the sword; but they let the man and all his family get away safe.

bbe@Judges: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:2:8 @And death came to Joshua, the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, he being a hundred and ten years old.

bbe@Judges:2:14 @And the wrath of the Lord was burning against Israel, and he gave them up into the hands of those who violently took their property, and into the hands of their haters all round them, so that they were forced to give way before them.

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:2:23 @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:3:6 @And they took as wives the daughters of these nations and gave their daughters to their sons, and became servants to their gods.

bbe@Judges:3:8 @So the wrath of the Lord was burning against Israel, and he gave them up into the hands of Cushan-rishathaim, king of Mesopotamia; and the children of Israel were his servants for eight years.

bbe@Judges:3:9 @And when the children of Israel made prayer to the Lord, he gave them a saviour, Othniel, the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.

bbe@Judges:3:10 @And the spirit of the Lord came on him and he became judge of Israel, and went out to war, and the Lord gave up Cushan-rishathaim, king of Mesopotamia, into his hands and he overcame him

bbe@Judges:3:11 @Then for forty years the land had peace, till the death of Othniel, the son of Kenaz.

bbe@Judges:3:15 @Then when the children of Israel made prayer to the Lord, he gave them a saviour, Ehud, the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a left-handed man; and the children of Israel sent an offering by him to Eglon, king of Moab.

bbe@Judges:3:16 @So Ehud made himself a two-edged sword, a cubit long, which he put on at his right side under his robe.

bbe@Judges:3:19 @But he himself, turning back from the stone images at Gilgal, said, I have something to say to you in secret, O king. And he said, Let there be quiet. Then all those who were waiting before him went out.

bbe@Judges:3:25 @And they went on waiting till they were shamed, but the doors were still shut; so they took the key, and, opening them, saw their lord stretched out dead on the floor.

bbe@Judges:3:27 @And when he came there, he had a horn sounded in the hill-country of Ephraim, and all the children of Israel went down with him from the hill-country, and he at their head.

bbe@Judges:3:28 @And he said to them, Come after me; for the Lord has given the Moabites, your haters, into your hands. So they went down after him and took the crossing-places of Jordan against Moab, and let no one go across.

bbe@Judges:3:30 @So Moab was broken that day under the hand of Israel. And for eighty years the land had peace.

bbe@Judges:3:31 @And after him came Shamgar, the son of Anath, who put to death six hundred Philistines with an ox-stick; and he was another saviour of Israel.

bbe@Judges:4:6 @And she sent for Barak, the son of Abinoam, from Kedesh-naphtali, and said to him, Has not the Lord, the God of Israel, given orders saying, Go and get your force into line in Mount Tabor, and take with you ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?

bbe@Judges:4:9 @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:4:12 @And word was given to Sisera that Barak, the son of Abinoam, had gone up to Mount Tabor.

bbe@Judges:4:13 @So Sisera got together all his war-carriages, nine hundred war-carriages of iron, and all the people who were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles as far as the river Kishon.

bbe@Judges:4:14 @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:4:18 @And Jael went out to Sisera, and said to him, Come in, my lord, come in to me without fear. So he went into her tent, and she put a cover over him.

bbe@Judges:4:21 @Then Jael, Heber's wife, took a tent-pin and a hammer and went up to him quietly, driving the pin into his head, and it went through his head into the earth, for he was in a deep sleep from weariness; and so he came to his end.

bbe@Judges:4:22 @Then Jael went out, and meeting Barak going after Sisera, said to him, Come, and I will let you see the man you are searching for. So he came into her tent and saw, and there was Sisera stretched out dead with the tent-pin in his head.

bbe@Judges:4:23 @So that day God overcame Jabin, king of Canaan, before the children of Israel.

bbe@Judges:5:1 @At that time Deborah and Barak, the son of Abinoam, made this song, saying:

bbe@Judges:5:3 @Give attention, O kings; give ear, O rulers; I, even I, will make a song to the Lord; I will make melody to the Lord, the God of Israel.

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:5:12 @Awake! awake! Deborah: awake! awake! give a song: Up! Barak, and take prisoner those who took you prisoner, O son of Abinoam

bbe@Judges:5:21 @The river Kishon took them violently away, stopping their flight, the river Kishon. Give praise, O my soul, to the strength of the Lord!

bbe@Judges:5:22 @Then loudly the feet of the horses were sounding with the stamping, the stamping of their war-horses.

bbe@Judges:5:28 @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:5:31 @So may destruction come on all your haters, O Lord; but let your lovers be like the sun going out in his strength. And for forty years the land had peace.

bbe@Judges:6:8 @The Lord sent a prophet to the children of Israel, who said to them, The Lord the God of Israel, has said, I took you up from Egypt, out of the prison-house;

bbe@Judges:6:11 @Now the angel of the Lord came and took his seat under the oak-tree in Ophrah, in the field of Joash the Abiezrite; and his son Gideon was crushing grain in the place where the grapes were crushed, so that the Midianites might not see it.

bbe@Judges:6:17 @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:6:19 @Then Gideon went in and made ready a young goat, and with an ephah of meal he made unleavened cakes: he put the meat in a basket and the soup in which it had been cooked he put in a pot, and he took it out to him under the oak-tree and gave it to him there.

bbe@Judges:6:20 @And the angel of God said to him, Take the meat and the unleavened cakes and put them down on the rock over there, draining out the soup over them. And he did so.

bbe@Judges:6:29 @And they said to one another, Who has done this thing? And after searching with care, they said, Gideon, the son of Joash, has done this thing.

bbe@Judges:6:30 @Then the men of the town said to Joash, Make your son come out to be put to death, for pulling down the altar of Baal and cutting down the holy tree which was by it.

bbe@Judges:6:32 @So that day he gave him the name of Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal take up his cause against him because his altar has been broken down.

bbe@Judges:6:34 @But the spirit of the Lord came on Gideon; and at the sound of his horn all Abiezer came together after him.

bbe@Judges:6:38 @And it was so: for he got up early on the morning after, and twisting the wool in his hands, he got a basin full of water from the dew on the wool.

bbe@Judges:6:40 @And that night God did so; for the wool was dry, and there was dew on all the earth round it.

bbe@Judges:7:2 @And the Lord said to Gideon, So great is the number of your people, that if I give the Midianites into their hands they will be uplifted in pride over me and will say, I myself have been my saviour.

bbe@Judges:7:3 @So now, let it be given out to the people that anyone who is shaking with fear is to go back from Mount Galud. So twenty-two thousand of the people went back, but there were still ten thousand.

bbe@Judges:7:4 @Then the Lord said to Gideon, There are still more people than is necessary; take them down to the water so that I may put them to the test for you there; then whoever I say is to go with you will go, and whoever I say is not to go will not go.

bbe@Judges:7:5 @So he took the people down to the water; and the Lord said to Gideon, Put on one side by themselves all those drinking up the water with their tongues like a dog; and in the same way, all those who go down on their knees to the water while drinking.

bbe@Judges:7:8 @So they took the vessels of the people, and their horns from their hands, and he sent them away, every man to his tent, keeping only the three hundred; and the tents of Midian were lower down in the valley.

bbe@Judges:7:11 @And after hearing what they are saying, you will get strength to go down against the army. So he went down with his servant Purah to the outer line of the tents of the armed men.

bbe@Judges:7:13 @When Gideon came there, a man was giving his friend an account of his dream, saying, See, I had a dream about a cake of barley bread which, falling into the tents of Midian, came on to the tent, overturning it so that it was stretched out flat on the earth.

bbe@Judges:7:14 @And his friend in answer said, This is certainly the sword of Gideon, the son of Joash, the men of Israel: into their hands God has given up all the army of Midian.

bbe@Judges:7:18 @At the sound of my horn, and the horns of those who are with me, let your horns be sounded all round the tents, and say, For the Lord and for Gideon.

bbe@Judges:7:19 @So Gideon and the three hundred men who were with him came to the outer line of tents, at the start of the middle watch, when the watchmen had only then taken their stations; and the horns were sounded and the vessels broken.

bbe@Judges:7:20 @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:7:24 @Then Gideon sent through all the hill-country of Ephraim saying, Come down against Midian, and keep the ways across Jordan before they come. So all the men of Ephraim, massing themselves together, kept the ways across Jordan.

bbe@Judges:8:2 @And he said to them, What have I done in comparison with you? Is not that which Ephraim took up after the grape-cutting better than all the grapes which Abiezer got in from the grape-cutting?

bbe@Judges:8:3 @God has given into your hands the chiefs of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; what have I been able to do in comparison with you? And when he said this, their feeling about him became kinder.

bbe@Judges:8:8 @So he went up from there to Penuel and made the same request to the men of Penuel; but they gave him the same answer as the men of Succoth had given.

bbe@Judges:8:9 @So he said to the men of Penuel, When I come back in peace, I will have this tower broken down.

bbe@Judges:8:13 @Then Gideon, the son of Joash, went back from the fight:

bbe@Judges:8:14 @And taking prisoner a young man of the people of Succoth, he got from him, in answer to his questions, a list of the chiefs of Succoth and the responsible men, seventy-seven men.

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:8:18 @Then he said to Zebah and Zalmunna, Where are the men whom you put to death at Tabor? And they gave answer, As you are, so were they; every one of them was like a king's son

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:8:22 @Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, Be our ruler, you and your son and your son's son after him; for you have been our saviour from the hands of Midian.

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:8:25 @And they gave answer, We will gladly give them. So they put down a robe, every man dropping into it the ear-rings he had taken.

bbe@Judges:8:28 @So Midian was broken before the children of Israel and the Midianites never got back their strength. And the land had peace for forty years, in the days of Gideon.

bbe@Judges:8:29 @And Jerubbaal, the son of Joash, went back to his house and was living there.

bbe@Judges:8:30 @Gideon had seventy sons, the offspring of his body; for he had a number of wives.

bbe@Judges:8:31 @And the servant-wife he had in Shechem had a son by him, to whom he gave the name Abimelech.

bbe@Judges:8:32 @And Gideon, the son of Joash, came to his end when he was very old, and his body was put in the resting-place of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

bbe@Judges: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:9:3 @So his mother's family said all this about him in the ears of all the townsmen of Shechem: and their hearts were turned to Abimelech, for they said, He is our brother.

bbe@Judges:9:4 @And they gave him seventy shekels of silver from the house of Baal-berith, with which Abimelech got the support of a number of uncontrolled and good-for-nothing persons.

bbe@Judges:9:5 @Then he went to his father's house at Ophrah, and put his brothers, the seventy sons of Jerubbaal, to death on the same stone; however, Jotham, the youngest, kept himself safe by going away to a secret place.

bbe@Judges:9:7 @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:9:16 @So now, if you have done truly and uprightly in making Abimelech king, and if you have done well to Jerubbaal and his house in reward for the work of his hands;

bbe@Judges:9:18 @And you have gone against my father's family this day, and have put to death his sons, even seventy men on one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his servant-wife, king over the townsmen of Shechem because he is your brother;)

bbe@Judges:9:22 @So Abimelech was chief over Israel for three years.

bbe@Judges:9:24 @So that punishment for the violent attack made on the seventy sons of Jerubbaal, and for their blood, might come on Abimelech, their brother, who put them to death, and on the townsmen of Shechem who gave him their help in putting his brothers to death.

bbe@Judges:9:26 @Then Gaal, the son of Ebed, came with his brothers, and went over to Shechem; and the men of Shechem put their faith in him.

bbe@Judges:9:28 @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:9:31 @And he sent to Abimelech at Arumah, saying, See, Gaal, the son of Ebed, and his brothers have come to Shechem, and they are working up the town against you.

bbe@Judges:9:32 @So now, get up by night, you and your people, and keep watch in the field secretly;

bbe@Judges:9:34 @So Abimelech and the people with him got up by night, in four bands, to make a surprise attack on Shechem.

bbe@Judges:9:35 @And Gaal, the son of Ebed, went out, and took his place at the doorway into the town; then Abimelech and his people got up from the place where they had been waiting.

bbe@Judges:9:38 @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:9:39 @So Gaal went out at the head of the townsmen of Shechem and made war on Abimelech.

bbe@Judges:9:49 @So all the people got branches, every man cutting down a branch, and they went with Abimelech at their head and, massing the branches against the inner room, put fire to the room over them; so all those who were in the tower of Shechem, about a thousand men and women, were burned to death with it.

bbe@Judges:9:54 @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:9:57 @And God sent back on to the heads of the men of Shechem all the evil they had done, and the curse of Jotham, the son of Jerubbaal, came on them.

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:10:4 @And he had thirty sons, who went on thirty young asses; and they had thirty towns in the land of Gilead, which are named Havvoth-Jair to this day.

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:10:16 @So they put away the strange gods from among them, and became the Lord's servants; and his soul was angry because of the sorrows of Israel.

bbe@Judges:11:1 @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:11:6 @And they said to Jephthah, Come and be our chief so that we may make war against the children of Ammon.

bbe@Judges:11:8 @And the responsible men of Gilead said to Jephthah, That is the reason we have come back to you; so go with us and make war against the children of Ammon, and we will make you our head over all the people of Gilead.

bbe@Judges:11:11 @So Jephthah went with the responsible men of Gilead, and the people made him head and chief over them; and Jephthah said all these things before the Lord in Mizpah

bbe@Judges:11:13 @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:11:17 @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:11:21 @And the Lord, the God of Israel, gave Sihon and all his people into the hands of Israel, and they overcame them; so all the land of the Amorites, the people of that land, became Israel's.

bbe@Judges:11:23 @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:11:25 @What! are you any better than Balak, the son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever take up a cause against Israel or make war against them?

bbe@Judges:11:27 @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:11:32 @So Jephthah went over to the children of Ammon to make war on them; and the Lord gave them into his hands.

bbe@Judges:11:33 @And he made an attack on them from Aroer all the way to Minnith, overrunning twenty towns, as far as Abel-cheramim, and put great numbers to the sword. So the children of Ammon were crushed before the children of Israel.

bbe@Judges:11:34 @Then Jephthah came back to his house in Mizpah, and his daughter came out, meeting him on his way with music and with dances; she was his only child; he had no other sons or daughters.

bbe@Judges:11:35 @And when he saw her he was overcome with grief, and said, Ah! my daughter! I am crushed with sorrow, and it is you who are the chief cause of my trouble; for I have made an oath to the Lord and I may not take it back.

bbe@Judges:11:38 @And he said, Go then. So he sent her away for two months; and she went with her friends to the mountains, weeping for her sad fate.

bbe@Judges:11:39 @And at the end of two months she went back to her father, who did with her as he had said in his oath: and she had never been touched by a man. So it became a rule in Israel,

bbe@Judges:11:40 @For the women to go year by year sorrowing for the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite, four days in every year.

bbe@Judges:12:3 @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:12:9 @He had thirty sons, and thirty daughters whom he sent to other places, and he got thirty wives from other places for his sons. And he was judge of Israel for seven years.

bbe@Judges:12:13 @And after him, Abdon, the son of Hillel, the Pirathonite, was judge of Israel

bbe@Judges:12:14 @He had forty sons and thirty sons' sons who went on seventy young asses; and he was judge of Israel for eight years.

bbe@Judges:12:15 @And Abdon, the son of Hillel, came to his death, and his body was put to rest in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the hill-country of the Amalekites.

bbe@Judges:13:3 @And the angel of the Lord came to the woman, and said to her, See now! though you have never given birth to children, you will be with child and give birth to a son.

bbe@Judges:13:5 @For you are with child and will give birth to a son; his hair is never to be cut, for the child is to be separate to God from his birth; and he will take up the work of freeing Israel from the hands of the Philistines.

bbe@Judges:13:7 @But he said to me, You are with child and will give birth to a son; and now do not take any wine or strong drink or let anything unclean be your food; for the child will be separate to God from his birth to the day of his death.

bbe@Judges:13:10 @So the woman, running quickly, gave her husband the news, saying, I have seen the man who came to me the other day.

bbe@Judges:13:17 @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:13:24 @So the woman gave birth to a son, and gave him the name Samson; and he became a man and the blessing of the Lord was on him.

bbe@Judges:14:1 @Now Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah, of the daughters of the Philistines;

bbe@Judges:14:3 @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:14:5 @Then Samson went down to Timnah (and his father and his mother,) and came to the vine-gardens of Timnah; and a young lion came rushing out at him.

bbe@Judges:14:7 @So he went down and had talk with the woman; and she was pleasing to Samson.

bbe@Judges:14:9 @And he took the honey in his hand, and went on, tasting it on the way; and when he came to his father and mother he gave some to them; but did not say that he had taken the honey from the body of the lion.

bbe@Judges:14:10 @Then Samson went down to the woman, and made a feast there, as was the way among young men.

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:14:15 @So on the fourth day they said to Samson's wife, Get from your husband the answer to his question by some trick or other, or we will have you and your father's house burned with fire; did you get us here to take all we have?

bbe@Judges:14:16 @Then Samson's wife, weeping over him, said, Truly you have no love for me but only hate; you have put a hard question to the children of my people and have not given me the answer. And he said to her, See, I have not given the answer even to my father or my mother; am I to give it to you?

bbe@Judges:14:20 @But Samson's wife was given to the friend who had been his best man.

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:15:3 @Then Samson said to them, This time I will give payment in full to the Philistines, for I am going to do them great evil.

bbe@Judges:15:4 @So Samson went and got three hundred foxes and some sticks of fire-wood; and he put the foxes tail to tail with a stick between every two tails;

bbe@Judges:15:6 @Then the Philistines said, Who has done this? And they said, Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he took his wife and gave her to his friend. So the Philistines came up and had her and her father's house burned.

bbe@Judges:15:7 @And Samson said to them, If you go on like this, truly I will take my full payment from you; and that will be the end of it.

bbe@Judges:15:10 @And the men of Judah said, Why have you come up against us? And they said, We have come up to take Samson, and to do to him as he has done to us.

bbe@Judges:15:11 @Then three thousand of the men of Judah went down to the crack of the rock of Etam, and said to Samson, Is it not clear to you that the Philistines are our rulers? What is this you have done to us? And he said to them, I only did to them as they did to me.

bbe@Judges:15:12 @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:15:16 @And Samson said, With a red ass's mouth-bone I have made them red with blood, with a red ass's mouth-bone I have sent destruction on a thousand men.

bbe@Judges:15:17 @And having said these words, he let the mouth-bone go out of his hand; so that place was named Ramath-lehi.

bbe@Judges:15:19 @Then God made a crack in the hollow rock in Lehi and water came out of it; and after drinking, his spirit came back to him and he was strong again; so that place was named En-hakkore; it is in Lehi to this day

bbe@Judges:16:1 @Now Samson went to Gaza, and there he saw a loose woman and went in to her.

bbe@Judges:16:2 @And it was said to the Gazites, Samson is here. So they went round, watching for him all day at the doorway of the town, but at night they kept quiet, saying, When daylight comes we will put him to death.

bbe@Judges:16:3 @And Samson was there till the middle of the night; then he got up, and took a grip on the doors of the town, pulling them up, together with their two supports and their locks, and put them on his back and took them up to the top of the hill in front of Hebron.

bbe@Judges:16:4 @Now after this, he was in love with a woman in the valley of Sorek, named Delilah.

bbe@Judges:16:5 @And the chiefs of the Philistines came up to her, and said to her, Make use of your power over him and see what is the secret of his great strength, and how we may get the better of him, and put bands on him, so that we may make him feeble; and every one of us will give you eleven hundred shekels of silver.

bbe@Judges:16:6 @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:16:14 @So while he was sleeping she got the seven twists of his hair worked into her cloth and fixed with the pin, and said to him, The Philistines are on you, Samson. Then awaking from his sleep, he got up quickly, pulling up cloth and machine together.

bbe@Judges:16:16 @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:16:21 @So the Philistines took him and put out his eyes; then they took him down to Gaza, and, chaining him with bands of brass, put him to work crushing grain in the prison-house

bbe@Judges:16:23 @And the chiefs of the Philistines came together to make a great offering to Dagon their god, and to be glad; for they said, Our god has given into our hands Samson our hater.

bbe@Judges:16:25 @Now when their hearts were full of joy, they said, Send for Samson to make sport for us. And they sent for Samson out of the prison-house, and he made sport before them; and they put him between the pillars.

bbe@Judges:16:26 @And Samson said to the boy who took him by the hand, Let me put my hand on the pillars supporting the house, so that I may put my back against them.

bbe@Judges:16:27 @Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there; and about three thousand men and women were on the roof, looking on while Samson made sport.

bbe@Judges:16:28 @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:16:29 @Then Samson put his arms round the two middle pillars supporting the house, putting his weight on them, on one with his right hand and on the other with his left.

bbe@Judges:16:30 @And Samson said, Let death overtake me with the Philistines. And he put out all his strength, and the house came down on the chiefs and on all the people who were in it. So the dead whom he sent to destruction by his death were more than all those on whom he had sent destruction in his life.

bbe@Judges:17:2 @And he said to his mother, The eleven hundred shekels of silver which were taken from you, about which you took an oath and said in my hearing, I have given this silver to the Lord from my hand for myself, to make a pictured image and a metal image: see, I have the silver, for I took it: so now I will give it back to you. And his mother said, May the blessing of the Lord be on my son.

bbe@Judges:17:3 @And he gave back the eleven hundred shekels of silver to his mother, and his mother said, I have made the silver holy to the Lord from me for my son, to make a pictured image and a metal image.

bbe@Judges:17:4 @So he gave the silver back to his mother. Then his mother took two hundred shekels of silver and gave them to a metal-worker who made a pictured image and a metal image from them: and it was in the house of Micah.

bbe@Judges:17:5 @And the man Micah had a house of gods; and he made an ephod and family gods and put one of his sons in the position of priest.

bbe@Judges:17:8 @And he went away from the town of Beth-lehem-judah, looking for somewhere to make his living-place; and on his journey he came to the hill-country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah.

bbe@Judges:17:11 @And the Levite said he would make his living-place with the man, and he became to him as one of his sons.

bbe@Judges:18:2 @So the children of Dan sent five men from among their number, strong men, from Zorah and from Eshtaol, to take a look at the land and make a search through it; and they said to them, Go and make a search through the land; and they came to the hill-country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, where they made a stop for the night.

bbe@Judges:18:8 @So they came back to their brothers in Zorah and Eshtaol, and their brothers said to them, What news have you?

bbe@Judges:18:11 @So six hundred men of the Danites from Zorah and Eshtaol went out armed with instruments of war.

bbe@Judges:18:12 @And they went up and put up their tents in Kiriath-jearim in Judah: so that place is named Mahaneh-dan to this day. It is to the west of Kiriath-jearim.

bbe@Judges:18:14 @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:18:21 @So they went on their way again, putting the little ones and the oxen and the goods in front of them.

bbe@Judges:18:22 @When they had gone some way from the house of Micah, the men from the houses near Micah's house came together and overtook the children of Dan,

bbe@Judges:18:29 @And they gave the town the name of Dan, after Dan their father, who was the son of Israel: though the town had been named Laish at first.

bbe@Judges:18:30 @(And the children of Dan put up the pictured image for themselves; and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, and his sons were priests for the tribe of the Danites till the day when the ark was taken prisoner.)

bbe@Judges:19:5 @Now on the fourth day they got up early in the morning and he made ready to go away; but the girl's father said to his son-in-law, Take a little food to keep up your strength, and then go on your way.

bbe@Judges:19:6 @So seating themselves they had food and drink, the two of them together; and the girl's father said to the man, If it is your pleasure, take your rest here tonight, and let your heart be glad.

bbe@Judges:19:7 @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:19:14 @So they went on their way; and the sun went down when they were near Gibeah in the land of Benjamin.

bbe@Judges:19:21 @So he took them into his house and gave the asses food; and after washing their feet they took food and drink.

bbe@Judges:19:22 @While they were taking their pleasure at the meal, the good-for-nothing men of the town came round the house, giving blows on the door; and they said to the old man, the master of the house, Send out that man who came to your house, so that we may take our pleasure with him.

bbe@Judges:19:23 @So the man, the master of the house, went out to them, and said, No, my brothers, do not this evil thing; this man has come into my house, and you are not to do him this wrong.

bbe@Judges:19:25 @But the men would not give ear to him: so the man took his woman and sent her out to them; and they took her by force, using her for their pleasure all night till the morning; and when dawn came they let her go.

bbe@Judges:19:28 @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:20:6 @So I took her, cutting her into parts which I sent through all the country of the heritage of Israel: for they have done an act of shame in Israel.

bbe@Judges:20:10 @And we will take ten men out of every hundred, through all the tribes of Israel, a hundred out of every thousand, a thousand out of every ten thousand, to get food for the people, so that they may give to Gibeah of Benjamin the right punishment for the act of shame they have done in Israel.

bbe@Judges:20:11 @So all the men of Israel were banded together against the town, united like one man.

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:20:19 @So the children of Israel got up in the morning and put themselves in position against Gibeah.

bbe@Judges:20:24 @So the children of Israel went forward against the children of Benjamin the second day.

bbe@Judges:20:28 @And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, was in his place before it,) and said, Am I still to go on with the fight against the children of Benjamin my brother, or am I to give it up? And the Lord said, Go on; for tomorrow I will give him into your hands.

bbe@Judges:20:29 @So Israel put men secretly all round Gibeah to make a surprise attack on it.

bbe@Judges:20:33 @So all the men of Israel got up and put themselves in fighting order at Baal-tamar: and those who had been waiting secretly to make a surprise attack came rushing out of their place on the west of Geba.

bbe@Judges:20:36 @So the children of Benjamin saw that they were overcome: and the men of Israel had given way before Benjamin, putting their faith in the watchers who were to make the surprise attack on Gibeah.

bbe@Judges:20:42 @So turning their backs on the men of Israel, they went in the direction of the waste land; but the fight overtook them; and those who came out of the town were heading them off and putting them to the sword.

bbe@Judges:20:46 @So twenty-five thousand of the swordsmen of Benjamin came to their end that day, all strong men of war.

bbe@Judges:21:10 @So they (the meeting) sent twelve thousand of the best fighting-men, and gave them orders, saying, Go and put the people of Jabesh-gilead to the sword without mercy, with their women and their little ones.

bbe@Judges:21:11 @And this is what you are to do: every male, and every woman who has had sex relations with a man, you are to put to the curse, but you are to keep safe the virgins. And they did so.

bbe@Judges:21:17 @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:21:19 @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:21:23 @So the men of Benjamin did this, and got wives for themselves for every one of their number, taking them away by force from the dance; then they went back to their heritage, building up their towns and living in them.

bbe@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:1:2 @And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Beth-lehem-judah. And they came into the country of Moab, and were there for some time.

bbe@Ruth:1:3 @And Elimelech, Naomi's husband, came to his end; and only her two sons were with her.

bbe@Ruth:1:5 @And Mahlon and Chilion came to their end; and the woman was without her two sons and her husband.

bbe@Ruth:1:6 @So she and her daughters-in-law got ready to go back from the country of Moab, for news had come to her in the country of Moab that the Lord, in mercy for his people, had given them food.

bbe@Ruth:1:11 @But Naomi said, Go back, my daughters; why will you come with me? Have I more sons in my body, to become your husbands?

bbe@Ruth:1:12 @Go back, my daughters, and go on your way; I am so old now that I may not have another husband. If I said, I have hopes, if I had a husband tonight, and might have sons,

bbe@Ruth:1:17 @Wherever death comes to you, death will come to me, and there will be my last resting-place; the Lord do so to me and more if we are parted by anything but death.

bbe@Ruth:1:19 @So the two of them went on till they came to Beth-lehem. And when they came to Beth-lehem all the town was moved about them, and they said, Is this Naomi?

bbe@Ruth:1:21 @I went out full, and the Lord has sent me back again with nothing; why do you give me the name Naomi, seeing that the Lord has given witness against me, and the Ruler of all has sent sorrow on me?

bbe@Ruth:1:22 @So Naomi came back out of the country of Moab, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her; and they came to Beth-lehem in the first days of the grain-cutting.

bbe@Ruth:2:7 @And she said to me, Let me come into the grain-field and take up the grain after the cutters. So she came, and has been here from morning till now, without resting even for a minute.

bbe@Ruth:2:14 @And at meal-time Boaz said to her, Come here, and take some of the bread, and put your bit into the wine. And she took her seat among the grain-cutters: and he gave her dry grain, and she took it, and there was more than enough for her meal.

bbe@Ruth:2:16 @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:2:17 @So she went on getting together the heads of grain till evening; and after crushing out the seed it came to about an ephah of grain.

bbe@Ruth:2:22 @And Naomi said to Ruth, her daughter-in-law, It is better, my daughter, for you to go out with his servant-girls, so that no danger may come to you in another field.

bbe@Ruth:2:23 @So she kept near the servant-girls of Boaz to take up the grain till the cutting of the early grain and the cutting of the late grain were ended; and she went on living with her mother-in-law.

bbe@Ruth:3:3 @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:3:6 @So she went down to the grain-floor and did all her mother-in-law had said to her.

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:3:13 @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:3:15 @And he said, Take your robe, stretching it out in your hands: and she did so, and he took six measures of grain and put them into it, and gave it her to take: and she went back to the town.

bbe@Ruth:4:4 @And it was in my mind to give you the chance of taking it, with the approval of those seated here and of the responsible men of my people. If you are ready to do what it is right for a relation to do, then do it: but if you will not do it, say so to me now; for there is no one who has the right to do it but you, and after you myself. And he said, I will do it.

bbe@Ruth:4:5 @Then Boaz said, On the day when you take this field, you will have to take with it Ruth, the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, so that you may keep the name of the dead living in his heritage.

bbe@Ruth:4:8 @So the near relation said to Boaz, Take it for yourself. And he took off his shoe.

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:4:12 @May your family be like the family of Perez, the son whom Tamar gave to Judah, from the offspring which the Lord may give you by this young woman.

bbe@Ruth:4:13 @So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife; and he went in to her, and the Lord made her with child and she gave birth to a son.

bbe@Ruth:4:15 @He will be a giver of new life to you, and your comforter when you are old, for your daughter-in-law, who, in her love for you, is better than seven sons, has given birth to him.

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:1:3 @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:1:4 @And when the day came for Elkanah to make his offering, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and daughters, their part of the feast:

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:1:10 @And with grief in her soul, weeping bitterly, she made her prayer to 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:1:13 @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:1:23 @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:1:26 @And she said, O my lord, as your soul is living, my lord, I am that woman who was making a prayer to the Lord here by your side:

bbe@1Samuel:1:28 @So I have given him to the Lord; for all his life he is the Lord's. Then he gave the Lord worship there.

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:2:12 @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:2:21 @And the Lord had mercy on Hannah and she gave birth to three sons and two daughters. And the young Samuel became older before the Lord.

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:2:29 @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:2:34 @And this will be the sign to you, which will come on Hophni and Phinehas, your sons; death will overtake them on the same day.

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:3:2 @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:3:9 @So Eli said to Samuel, Go back: and if the voice comes again, let your answer be, Say on, Lord; for the ears of your servant are open. So Samuel went back to his bed.

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:3:16 @Then Eli said, Samuel, my son. And Samuel answering said, Here am I.

bbe@1Samuel:4:3 @And when the people came back to their tents, the responsible men of Israel said, Why has the Lord let the Philistines overcome us today? Let us get the ark of the Lord's agreement here from Shiloh, so that it may be with us and give us salvation from the hands of those who are against us.

bbe@1Samuel:4:4 @So the people sent to Shiloh and got the ark of the agreement of the Lord of armies whose resting-place is between the winged ones; and Hophni and Phinehas, the two sons of Eli, were there with the ark of God's agreement.

bbe@1Samuel:4:5 @And when the ark of the Lord's agreement came into the tent-circle, all Israel gave a great cry, so that the earth was sounding with it.

bbe@1Samuel:4:8 @Trouble is ours! Who will give us salvation from the hands of these great gods? These are the gods who sent all sorts of blows on the Egyptians in the waste land.

bbe@1Samuel:4:10 @So the Philistines went to the fight, and Israel was overcome, and every man went in flight to his tent: and great was the destruction, for thirty thousand footmen of Israel were put to the sword

bbe@1Samuel:4:11 @And the ark of God was taken; and Hophni and Phinehas, the sons of Eli, were put to the sword.

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:4:16 @And the man said to Eli, I have come from the army and have come in flight today from the fight. And he said, How did it go, my son?

bbe@1Samuel:4:17 @And the man said, Israel went in flight from the Philistines, and there has been great destruction among the people, and your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God has been taken.

bbe@1Samuel:4:18 @And at these words about the ark of God, Eli, falling back off his seat by the side of the doorway into the town, came down on the earth so that his neck was broken and death overtook him, for he was an old man and of great weight. He had been judging Israel for forty years.

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:5:5 @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:5:8 @So they sent for all the lords of the Philistines to come together there, and said, What are we to do with the ark of the God of Israel? And their answer was, Let the ark of the God of Israel be taken away to Gath. So they took the ark of the God of Israel away.

bbe@1Samuel:5:10 @So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And when the ark of God came to Ekron, the people of the town made an outcry, saying, They have sent the ark of the God of Israel to us for the destruction of us and of our people.

bbe@1Samuel:5:11 @So they sent and got together all the lords of the Philistines, and they said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go back to its place, so that it may not be the cause of death to us and to our people: for there was a great fear of death through all the town; the hand of God was very hard on them there.

bbe@1Samuel:6:5 @So make images of the growths caused by your disease and of the mice which are damaging your land; and give glory to the God of Israel: it may be that the weight of his hand will be lifted from you and from your gods and from your land.

bbe@1Samuel:6:7 @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:6:8 @And put the ark of the Lord on the cart, and the gold images which you are sending as a sin-offering in a chest by its side; and send it away so that it may go.

bbe@1Samuel:6:10 @And the men did so; they took two cows, yoking them to the cart and shutting up their young ones in their living-place:

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:6:19 @But the Lord sent destruction on seventy men of the people of Beth-shemesh for looking into the ark of the Lord; and great was the sorrow of the people for the destruction which the Lord had sent on them.

bbe@1Samuel:7:1 @So the men of Kiriath-jearim came and took the ark of the Lord to the house of Abinadab in Gibeah, and they made his son Eleazar holy and put the ark in his care.

bbe@1Samuel:7:4 @So the children of Israel gave up the worship of Baal and Astarte, and became worshippers of the Lord only.

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:7:13 @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:8:2 @The name of his first son was Joel and the name of his second Abijah: they were judges in Beer-sheba.

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:8:8 @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:8:11 @And he said, This is the sort of king who will be your ruler: he will take your sons and make them his servants, his horsemen, and drivers of his war-carriages, and they will go running before his war-carriages;

bbe@1Samuel:8:12 @And he will make them captains of thousands and of fifties; some he will put to work ploughing and cutting his grain and making his instruments of war and building his war-carriages.

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

bbe@1Samuel:9:1 @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:9:10 @Then Saul said to his servant, You have said well; come, let us go. So they went to the town where the man of God was.

bbe@1Samuel:9:11 @And when they were on the way up to the town, they saw some young girls going out to get water and said to them, Is the seer here?

bbe@1Samuel:9:13 @When you come into the town you will see him straight away, before he goes up to the high place for the feast: the people are waiting for his blessing before starting the feast, and after that the guests will take part in it. So go up now and you will see him.

bbe@1Samuel:9:14 @So they went up to the town, and when they came inside the town, Samuel came face to face with them on his way to the high place.

bbe@1Samuel:9:16 @Tomorrow about this time I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and on him you are to put the holy oil, making him ruler over my people Israel, and he will make my people safe from the hands of the Philistines: for I have seen the sorrow of my people, whose cry has come up to me.

bbe@1Samuel:9:18 @Then Saul came up to Samuel in the doorway of the town and said, Give me directions, if you will be so good, to the house of the seer.

bbe@1Samuel:9:22 @Then Samuel took Saul and his servant into the guest room, and made them take the chief place among all the guests who were there, about thirty persons.

bbe@1Samuel:9:24 @And the cook took up the leg with the fat tail on it, and put it before Saul. And Samuel said, This is the part which has been kept for you: take it as your part of the feast; because it has been kept for you till the right time came and till the guests were present. So that day Saul took food with Samuel.

bbe@1Samuel:9:26 @And about dawn Samuel said to Saul on the roof, Get up so that I may send you away. So Saul got up, and he and Samuel went out together.

bbe@1Samuel:9:27 @And on their way down to the end of the town, Samuel said to Saul, Give your servant orders to go on in front of us, (so he went on,) but you keep here, so that I may give you the word of God.

bbe@1Samuel:10:2 @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:10:11 @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:10:12 @And one of the people of that place said in answer, And who is their father? So it became a common saying, Is even Saul among the prophets?

bbe@1Samuel:10:19 @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:10:20 @So Samuel made all the tribes of Israel come near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken.

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:10:23 @So they went quickly and made him come out; and when he took his place among the people, he was taller by a head than any of the people.

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:11:2 @And Nahash the Ammonite said to them, I will make an agreement with you on this condition, that all your right eyes are put out; so that I may make it a cause of shame to all Israel.

bbe@1Samuel:11:3 @Then the responsible men of Jabesh said to him, Give us seven days, so that we may send men to every part of Israel: and then, if no one comes to our help, we will come out to you.

bbe@1Samuel:11:4 @So they sent representatives to Saul's town Gibeah, and these gave the news to the people: and all the people gave themselves to weeping.

bbe@1Samuel:11:10 @So the men of Jabesh said, Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you may do to us whatever seems good to you.

bbe@1Samuel:11:11 @Now on the day after, Saul put the people into three bands, and in the morning watch they came to the tents of the Ammonites, and they went on attacking them till the heat of the day: and those who were not put to death were put to flight in every direction, so that no two of them were together

bbe@1Samuel:11:12 @And the people said to Samuel, Who was it who said, Is Saul to be our king? give the men up, so that we may put them to death.

bbe@1Samuel:11:15 @So all the people went to Gilgal; and there in Gilgal they made Saul king before the Lord; and peace-offerings were offered before the Lord; and there Saul and all the men of Israel were glad with great joy.

bbe@1Samuel:12:2 @And now, see, the king is before you: and I am old and grey-headed, and my sons are with you: I have been living before your eyes from my early days till now.

bbe@1Samuel:12:8 @When Jacob and his sons had come into Egypt, and were crushed by the Egyptians, the prayers of your fathers came up to the Lord, and the Lord sent Moses and Aaron, who took your fathers out of Egypt, and he put them into this place.

bbe@1Samuel:12:11 @So the Lord sent Jerubbaal and Barak and Jephthah and Samuel and took you out of the power of those who were fighting against you on every side, and made you safe.

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:12:18 @So Samuel made prayer to the Lord; and the Lord sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people were in fear of the Lord and of Samuel.

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:13:3 @And Jonathan made an attack on the armed force of the Philistines stationed at Gibeah; and news was given to the Philistines that the Hebrews were turned against them. And Saul had a horn sounded through all the land,

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:13:16 @And Saul, with Jonathan his son and the people who were with them, was waiting in Geba in the land of Benjamin: but the tents of the Philistines were in Michmash.

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:14:5 @The one rock went up on the north in front of Michmash and the other on the south in front of Geba.

bbe@1Samuel:14:12 @And the armed men of the force gave Jonathan and his servant their answer, saying, Come up here to us, and we will let you see something. Then Jonathan said to his servant, Come up after me: for the Lord has given them up into the hands of Israel.

bbe@1Samuel:14:21 @Then the Hebrews who had been with the Philistines for some time, and had gone up with them to their tents, turning round were joined to those who were with Saul and Jonathan.

bbe@1Samuel:14:23 @So the Lord made Israel safe that day: and the fight went over to Beth-aven.

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:14:34 @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:14:39 @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:14:40 @Then he said to all Israel, You be on one side, and I with Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said to Saul, Do whatever seems good to you.

bbe@1Samuel:14:41 @Then Saul said to the Lord, the God of Israel, Why have you not given me an answer today? If the sin is in me or in Jonathan my son, O Lord God of Israel, give Urim, and if it is in your people Israel, give Thummim. And by the decision of the Lord, Saul and Jonathan were marked out, and the people went free.

bbe@1Samuel:14:42 @And Saul said, Give your decision between my son Jonathan and me. And Jonathan was taken.

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:14:49 @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:14:51 @Kish, the father of Saul, and Ner, the father of Abner, were sons of Abiel.

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:15:6 @And Saul said to the Kenites, Go away, take yourselves out from among the Amalekites, or destruction will overtake you with them: for you were kind to the children of Israel when they came out of Egypt. So the Kenites went away from among the Amalekites.

bbe@1Samuel:15:8 @He took Agag, king of the Amalekites, prisoner, and put all the people to the sword without mercy.

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:15:21 @But the people took some of their goods, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which were put to the curse, to make an offering of them to the Lord your God in Gilgal.

bbe@1Samuel:15:25 @So now, let my sin have forgiveness, and go back with me to give worship to the Lord.

bbe@1Samuel:15:30 @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:15:31 @So Samuel went back after Saul, and Saul gave worship to the Lord.

bbe@1Samuel:15:33 @And Samuel said, As your sword has made women without children, so now your mother will be without children among women. And Agag was cut up by Samuel, bone from bone, before the Lord in Gilgal.

bbe@1Samuel:15:35 @And Samuel never saw Saul again till the day of his death; but Samuel was sorrowing for Saul: and it was no longer the Lord's pleasure for Saul to be king over Israel.

bbe@1Samuel:16:1 @And the Lord said to Samuel, How long will you go on sorrowing for Saul, seeing that I have put him from his place as king over Israel? Take oil in your vessel and go; I will send you to Jesse, the Beth-lehemite: for I have got a king for myself among his sons.

bbe@1Samuel:16:5 @And he said, In peace: I have come to make an offering to the Lord: make yourselves clean and come with me to make the offering. And he made Jesse and his sons clean, and sent for them to be present at the offering.

bbe@1Samuel:16:10 @And Jesse made his seven sons come before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, The Lord has not taken any of these.

bbe@1Samuel:16:12 @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:16:13 @Then Samuel took the bottle of oil, and put the oil on him there among his brothers: and from that day the spirit of the Lord came on David with power. So Samuel went back to Ramah.

bbe@1Samuel:16:18 @Then one of the servants in answer said, I have seen a son of Jesse, the Beth-lehemite, who is expert at playing, and a strong man and a man of war; and he is wise in his words, and pleasing in looks, and the Lord is with him.

bbe@1Samuel:16:19 @So Saul sent his servants to Jesse and said, Send me your son David who is with the sheep.

bbe@1Samuel:16:23 @And whenever the evil spirit from God came on Saul, David took his instrument and made music: so new life came to Saul, and he got well, and the evil spirit went away from him.

bbe@1Samuel:17:1 @Now the Philistines got their armies together for war, and came together at Socoh in the land of Judah, and took up their position between Socoh and Azekah in Ephes-dammim.

bbe@1Samuel:17:10 @And the Philistine said, I have put to shame the armies of Israel this day; give me a man so that we may have a fight together.

bbe@1Samuel:17:12 @Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Beth-lehem-judah named Jesse, who had eight sons; and he was an old man in Saul's day, and far on in years.

bbe@1Samuel:17:13 @And the three oldest sons of Jesse had gone with Saul to the fight: the names of the three who went to the fight were Eliab, the oldest, and Abinadab the second, and Shammah the third.

bbe@1Samuel:17:17 @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:17:27 @And the people gave him this answer, So it will be done to the man who overcomes him.

bbe@1Samuel:17:39 @And David took Saul's sword and put the band round him over the metal coat, and was unable to go forward; for he was not used to them. Then David said to Saul, It is not possible for me to go out with these, for I am not used to them. So David took them off.

bbe@1Samuel:17:40 @Then he took his stick in his hand, and got five smooth stones from the bed of the stream and put them in a bag such as is used by sheep-keepers; and in his hand was a leather band used for sending stones: and so he went in the direction of the Philistine.

bbe@1Samuel:17:46 @This day the Lord will give you up into my hands, and I will overcome you, and take your head off you; and I will give the bodies of the Philistine army to the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth today, so that all the earth may see that Israel has a God;

bbe@1Samuel:17:50 @So David overcame the Philistine with his leather band and a stone, wounding the Philistine and causing his death: but David had no sword in his hand.

bbe@1Samuel:17:51 @So running up to the Philistine and putting his foot on him, David took his sword out of its cover, and put him to death, cutting off his head with it. And when the Philistines saw that their fighter was dead, they went in flight.

bbe@1Samuel:17:55 @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:17:56 @And the king said, Make search and see whose son this young man is.

bbe@1Samuel:17:58 @And Saul said to him, Young man, whose son are you? And David in answer said, I am the son of your servant Jesse of Beth-lehem.

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:18:6 @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:18:13 @So Saul sent him away, and made him a captain over a thousand; and he went about his business before the people.

bbe@1Samuel:18:18 @And David said to Saul, Who am I, and what is my father's family in Israel, that I am to be son-in-law to the king?

bbe@1Samuel:18:21 @And Saul said, I will give her to him, so that she may be a cause of danger to him, and so that the hands of the Philistines may be against him. So Saul said to David, Today you are to become my son-in-law for the second time.

bbe@1Samuel:18:22 @And Saul gave his servants orders saying, Have talk with David secretly and say to him, See how the king has delight in you, and how you are loved by all his servants: then be the king's son-in-law.

bbe@1Samuel:18:23 @And Saul's servants said these things to David. And David said, Does it seem to you a small thing to be the king's son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor man, of no great name?

bbe@1Samuel:18:25 @And Saul said, Then say to David, The king has no desire for any bride-price, but only for the private parts of a hundred Philistines so that the king may get the better of his haters. But it was in Saul's mind that David might come to his end by the hands of the Philistines.

bbe@1Samuel:18:26 @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:18:27 @So David and his men got up and went, and put to death two hundred of the Philistines; and David took their private parts and gave the full number of them to the king, so that he might be the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him his daughter Michal for his wife.

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:19:1 @And Saul gave orders to his son Jonathan and to all his servants to put David to death. But Saul's son Jonathan had great delight in David.

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:19:11 @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:19:12 @So Michal let David down through the window, and he went in flight and got away.

bbe@1Samuel:19:15 @And Saul sent his men to see David, saying, Do not come back without him, take him in his bed, so that I may put him to death.

bbe@1Samuel:19:18 @So David went in flight and got away and came to Ramah, to Samuel, and gave him an account of all Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and were living in Naioth.

bbe@1Samuel:19:24 @And he took off his clothing, acting like a prophet before Samuel, and falling down he was stretched out, without his clothing, all that day and all that night. This is the reason for the saying, Is even Saul among the prophets?

bbe@1Samuel:20:2 @And he said to him, Far be the thought: you will not be put to death: see, my father does nothing, great or small, without giving me word of it: would he keep this secret from me? It is not so.

bbe@1Samuel:20:3 @But David took his oath again and said, Your father sees that I am dear to you; so he says to himself, Let Jonathan have no idea of this, for it will be a grief to him; but as the Lord is living, and as your soul is living, there is only a step between me and death.

bbe@1Samuel:20:8 @So, then, be kind to your servant; for you have been united with your servant in an agreement made before the Lord: but if there is any wrongdoing in me, put me to death yourself; why take me to your father?

bbe@1Samuel:20:13 @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:20:17 @And Jonathan again took an oath to David, because of his love for him: for David was as dear to him as his very soul.

bbe@1Samuel:20:24 @So David went to a secret place in the country: and when the new moon came, the king took his place at the feast.

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:20:31 @For while the son of Jesse is living on the earth, your position is unsafe and your kingdom is in danger. So make him come here to me, for it is certainly right for him to be put to death.

bbe@1Samuel:20:34 @So Jonathan got up from the table, burning with wrath, and took no part in the feast the second day of the month, being full of grief for David because his father had put shame on him.

bbe@1Samuel:21:3 @So now, if you have here five cakes of bread, give them into my hand, or whatever you have.

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:21:11 @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:21:13 @So changing his behaviour before them, he made it seem as if he was off his head, hammering on the doors of the town, and letting the water from his mouth go down his chin.

bbe@1Samuel: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:22:1 @So David went away from there and took cover in a strong place at Adullam; and his brothers and all his father's people, hearing of it, went down to him there.

bbe@1Samuel:22:2 @And everyone who was in trouble, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was bitter in soul, came together to him, and he became captain over them: about four hundred men were joined to him.

bbe@1Samuel:22:7 @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:22:20 @And Abiathar, one of the sons of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, got away and went in flight after David;

bbe@1Samuel:23:2 @So David, questioning the Lord, said, Am I to go and make an attack on these Philistines? And the Lord said to David, Go and make an attack on the Philistines so that Keilah may be kept from falling into their hands.

bbe@1Samuel:23:5 @So David and his men went to Keilah, and had a fight with the Philistines, and took away their cattle, and put them to the sword with great destruction. So David was the saviour of the people of Keilah.

bbe@1Samuel:23:6 @Now when Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, went in flight to David, he came down to Keilah with the ephod in his hand.

bbe@1Samuel:23:11 @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:23:16 @And Saul's son Jonathan went to David in Horesh, and made his hands strong in God;

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:23:23 @So take care to get knowledge of all the secret places where he is taking cover, and be certain to come back to me, and I will go with you: and without doubt, if he is anywhere in the land, I will get him, among all the families of Judah.

bbe@1Samuel:23:24 @And they went back and came to Ziph before Saul: but David and his men were in the waste land of Maon, in the dry land south of the waste land.

bbe@1Samuel:23:25 @And Saul and his men went in search of him. And David had word of it, so he came down to the rock in the waste land of Maon. And Saul, hearing of this, went after David into the waste land of Maon.

bbe@1Samuel:23:28 @So turning back from going after David, Saul went against the Philistines: so that place was named Sela-hammah-lekoth.

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:24:10 @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:24:15 @So let the Lord be judge, and give a decision between me and you, and see and give support to my cause, and keep me from falling into your hands.

bbe@1Samuel:24:16 @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:24:19 @If a man comes across his hater, will he let him get away safe? so may you be rewarded by the Lord for what you have done for me today.

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:25:8 @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:25:10 @And Nabal gave them his answer and said, Who is David? who is the son of Jesse? there are a number of servants in these days running away from their masters.

bbe@1Samuel:25:12 @So David's young men, turning away, went back and gave him an account of everything he had said.

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:25:21 @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:25:22 @May God's punishment be on David, if when morning comes there is so much as one male of his people still living.

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:25:29 @And though a man has taken up arms against you, putting your life in danger, still the soul of my lord will be kept safe among the band of the living with the Lord your God; and the souls of those who are against you he will send violently away from him, like stones from a bag.

bbe@1Samuel:25:34 @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:25:44 @Now Saul had given his daughter Michal, David's wife, to Palti the son of Laish of Gallim.

bbe@1Samuel:26:4 @And so David sent out watchers, and got word from them that Saul was certainly coming.

bbe@1Samuel:26:5 @And David got up and came to the place where Saul's tents were: and David had a view of the place where Saul was sleeping with Abner, the son of Ner, the captain of his army: and Saul was sleeping inside the ring of carts, and the tents of the people were all round him.

bbe@1Samuel:26:6 @Then David said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, brother of Joab, Who will go down with me to the tents of Saul? And Abishai said, I will go down with you.

bbe@1Samuel:26:7 @So David and Abishai came down to the army by night: and Saul was sleeping inside the ring of carts with his spear planted in the earth by his head: and Abner and the people were sleeping round him.

bbe@1Samuel:26:12 @So David took the spear and the vessel of water from Saul's head; and they got away without any man seeing them, or being conscious of their coming, or awaking; for they were all sleeping because a deep sleep from the Lord had come on them.

bbe@1Samuel:26:13 @Then David went over to the other side, and took his place on the top of a mountain some distance away, with a great space between them;

bbe@1Samuel:26:14 @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:26:17 @And Saul, conscious that the voice was David's, said, Is that your voice, David, my son? And David said, It is my voice, O my lord king.

bbe@1Samuel:26:21 @Then Saul said, I have done wrong: come back to me, David my son: I will do you no more wrong, because my life was dear to you today truly, I have been foolish and my error is very great.

bbe@1Samuel:26:24 @And so, as your life was dear to me today, may my life be dear to the Lord, and may he make me free from all my troubles.

bbe@1Samuel:26:25 @Then Saul said to David, May a blessing be on you, David, my son; you will do great things and without doubt you will overcome. Then David went on his way, and Saul went back to his place.

bbe@1Samuel:27:1 @And David said to himself, Some day death will come to me by the hand of Saul: the only thing for me to do is to get away into the land of the Philistines; then Saul will give up hope of taking me in any part of the land of Israel: and so I may be able to get away from him.

bbe@1Samuel:27:2 @So David and the six hundred men who were with him went over to Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath.

bbe@1Samuel:27:6 @So Achish straight away gave him Ziklag: and for that reason Ziklag has been the property of the kings of Judah to this day.

bbe@1Samuel:27:10 @And every time Achish said, Where have you been fighting today? David said, Against the South of Judah and the South of the Jerahmeelites and the South of the Kenites.

bbe@1Samuel:27:11 @Not one living man or woman did David ever take back with him to Gath, fearing that they might give an account of what had taken place, and say, This is what David did, and so has he been doing all the time while he has been living in the land of the Philistines.

bbe@1Samuel:27:12 @And Achish had belief in what David said, saying, He has made himself hated by all his people Israel, and so he will be my servant for ever.

bbe@1Samuel:28:7 @Then Saul said to his servants, Get me a woman who has control of a spirit so that I may go to her and get directions. And his servants said to him, There is such a woman at En-dor.

bbe@1Samuel:28:8 @So Saul, putting on other clothing, so that he might not be seen to be the king, took two men with him and went to the woman by night; and he said, Now, with the help of the spirit which you have, make the person whose name I will give you come up.

bbe@1Samuel:28:15 @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:28:19 @And more than this, the Lord will give Israel up with you into the hands of the Philistines: and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me: and the Lord will give up the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines.

bbe@1Samuel:28:22 @So now, give ear to the voice of your servant, and let me give you a little bread; and take some food to give you strength when you go on your way.

bbe@1Samuel:28:23 @But he would not, saying, I have no desire for food. But his servants, together with the woman, made him take food, and he gave way to them. So he got up from the earth, and took his seat on the bed.

bbe@1Samuel: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:29:7 @So now go back, and go in peace, so that you do not make the lords of the Philistines angry.

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:29:11 @So David and his men got up early in the morning to go back to the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.

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:30:3 @And when David and his men came to the town, they saw that it had been burned down, and their wives and their sons and daughters had been made prisoners.

bbe@1Samuel:30:5 @And David's two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel, had been made prisoners.

bbe@1Samuel:30:6 @And David was greatly troubled; for the people were talking of stoning him, because their hearts were bitter, every man sorrowing for his sons and his daughters: but David made himself strong in the Lord his God.

bbe@1Samuel:30:7 @And David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, Come here to me with the ephod. And Abiathar took the ephod to David.

bbe@1Samuel:30:9 @So David went, and his six hundred men went with him, and they came to the stream Besor.

bbe@1Samuel:30:12 @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:30:14 @We made an attack on the south part of the country of the Cherethites, and on the land which is Judah's, and on the south of Caleb; and we put Ziklag on fire.

bbe@1Samuel:30:19 @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:30:25 @And so he made it a rule and an order for Israel from that day till now.

bbe@1Samuel:30:26 @And when David came to Ziklag, he sent some of the goods to the responsible men of Judah, and to his friends, saying, Here is an offering for you from the goods of those who were fighting against the Lord;

bbe@1Samuel:30:27 @He sent to those who were in Beth-el, and in Ramah of the South, and in Jattir;

bbe@1Samuel:31:2 @And the Philistines overtook Saul and his sons; and they put to death Jonathan and Abinadab and Malchi-shua, the sons of Saul.

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:31:6 @So death overtook Saul and his three sons and his servant on the same day.

bbe@1Samuel:31:7 @And when the men of Israel across the valley and on the other side of Jordan saw that the army of Israel was in flight and that Saul and his sons were dead, they came out of their towns and went in flight; and the Philistines came and took them for themselves.

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:31:12 @All the fighting men got up and, travelling all night, took Saul's body and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth-shan; and they came to Jabesh and had them burned there.

bbe@2Samuel:1:4 @And David said to him, How did things go? Give me the news. And in answer he said, The people have gone in flight from the fight, and a great number of them are dead; and Saul and his son Jonathan are dead.

bbe@2Samuel:1:5 @And David said to the young man who gave him the news, Why are you certain that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?

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:1:11 @Then David gave way to bitter grief, and so did all the men who were with him:

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:1:13 @And David said to the young man who had given him the news, Where do you come from? And he said, I am the son of a man from a strange land; I am an Amalekite.

bbe@2Samuel:1:17 @Then David made this song of grief for Saul and Jonathan, his son:

bbe@2Samuel:1:18 @(It is recorded in the book of Jashar for teaching to the sons of Judah) and he said:

bbe@2Samuel:1:24 @O daughters of Israel, have sorrow for Saul, by whom you were delicately clothed in robes of red, with ornaments of gold on your dresses.

bbe@2Samuel:2:2 @So David went there, taking with him his two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel, and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel.

bbe@2Samuel:2:8 @Now Abner, the son of Ner, captain of Saul's army, had taken Saul's son Ish-bosheth over to Mahanaim,

bbe@2Samuel:2:10 @(Saul's son Ish-bosheth was forty years old when he became king over Israel, and he was ruler for two years.) But Judah was on the side of David.

bbe@2Samuel:2:12 @And Abner, the son of Ner, with the servants of Saul's son Ish-bosheth, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.

bbe@2Samuel:2:13 @And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out and came face to face with them by the pool of Gibeon; and they took up their position, facing one another on opposite sides of the pool.

bbe@2Samuel:2:14 @And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men give a test of their strength before us. And Joab said, Let them do so.

bbe@2Samuel:2:15 @So they got up and went over by number: twelve for Benjamin and Ish-bosheth and twelve of the servants of David.

bbe@2Samuel:2:16 @And every one got the other by the head, driving his sword into the other's side, so they all went down together: and that place was named the Field of Sides, and it is in Gibeon.

bbe@2Samuel:2:18 @There were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab and Abishai and Asahel: and Asahel was as quick-footed as a roe of the fields.

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:2:28 @So Joab had a horn sounded, and all the people came to a stop, and gave up going after Israel and fighting them.

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:3:3 @And the second, Chileab, whose mother was Abigail, the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom, son of Maacah, the daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur;

bbe@2Samuel:3:4 @And the fourth, Adonijah, the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah, the son of Abital;

bbe@2Samuel:3:5 @And the sixth, Ithream, whose mother was David's wife Eglah. These were the sons of David, whose birth took place in Hebron.

bbe@2Samuel:3:11 @And so great was Ish-bosheth's fear of Abner that he was not able to say a word in answer.

bbe@2Samuel:3:14 @And David sent men to Saul's son Ish-bosheth, saying, Give me back Michal, my wife, whom I made mine for the price of the private parts of a hundred Philistines.

bbe@2Samuel:3:15 @So Ish-bosheth sent and took her from her husband Paltiel, the son of Laish.

bbe@2Samuel:3:17 @Then Abner had a talk with the chief men of Israel, saying, In the past it was your desire to make David your king: so now, do it:

bbe@2Samuel:3:20 @So Abner, with twenty men, came to Hebron, to David. And David made a feast for Abner and the men who were with him.

bbe@2Samuel:3:21 @And Abner said to David, Now I will go, and make all Israel come to my lord the king, so that they may make an agreement with you, and your kingdom may be as wide as your heart's desire. Then David sent Abner away and he went in peace.

bbe@2Samuel:3:23 @When Joab and his men came, news was given them that Abner, the son of Ner, had come to the king, who had let him go away again 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:3:28 @And when David had word of it he said, May I and my kingdom be clear for ever in the eyes of the Lord from the blood of Abner, the son of Ner:

bbe@2Samuel:3:29 @May it come on the head of Joab and all his father's family: among the men of Joab's family may there ever be some who are diseased or lepers, or who do the work of women, or are put to the sword, or are wasted from need of food!

bbe@2Samuel:3:30 @So Joab and Abishai his brother put Abner to death, because he had put to death their brother Asahel in the fight at Gibeon.

bbe@2Samuel:3:31 @And David said to Joab and all the people who were with him, Go in grief and put haircloth about you, in sorrow for Abner. And King David went after the dead body.

bbe@2Samuel:3:33 @And the king made a song of grief for Abner and said, Was the death of Abner to be like the death of a foolish man?

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:3:37 @So it was clear to Israel and to all the people on that day that the king was not responsible for the death of Abner, the son of Ner.

bbe@2Samuel:3:39 @While I, though I am crowned king, have little strength, and these men, the sons of Zeruiah, are out of my control: may the Lord give to the evil-doer the reward of his evil-doing!

bbe@2Samuel:4:1 @And when Saul's son Ish-bosheth had news that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands became feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.

bbe@2Samuel:4:2 @And Saul's son had two men, captains of bands, one named Baanah and the other Rechab, sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the tribe of Benjamin; (for Beeroth was at one time taken to be part of Benjamin:

bbe@2Samuel:4:4 @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:4:8 @And they took the head of Ish-bosheth to David in Hebron, and said to the king, Here is the head of Ish-bosheth, the son of Saul your hater, who would have taken your life; the Lord has taken payment for the wrongs of my lord the king from Saul and his seed today.

bbe@2Samuel:4:9 @And David made answer to Rechab and his brother Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, By the living Lord, who has kept me safe from all my trouble,

bbe@2Samuel:4:11 @How much more, when evil men have put an upright person to death, in his house, sleeping on his bed, will I take payment from you for his blood, and have you cut off from the earth?

bbe@2Samuel:5:3 @So all the responsible men of Israel came to the king at Hebron; and King David made an agreement with them in Hebron before the Lord: and they put the holy oil on David and made him king over Israel.

bbe@2Samuel:5:9 @So David took the strong tower for his living-place, naming it the town of David. And David took in hand the building of the town all round, starting from the Millo.

bbe@2Samuel:5:13 @And David took more women and wives in Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron: and he had more sons and daughters.

bbe@2Samuel:5:14 @These are the names of those whose birth took place in Jerusalem: Shammua and Shobab and Nathan and Solomon

bbe@2Samuel:5:20 @And David went to Baal-perazim, and overcame them there; and he said, The Lord has let the forces fighting against me be broken before me as a wall is broken by rushing waters. So that place was named Baal-perazim.

bbe@2Samuel:5:24 @Then at the sound of footsteps in the tops of the trees, go forward quickly, for the Lord has gone out before you to overcome the army of the Philistines.

bbe@2Samuel:6:3 @And they put the ark of God on a new cart and took it out of the house of Abinadab which was on the hill: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, were the drivers of the cart.

bbe@2Samuel:6:5 @And David and all the men of Israel made melody before the Lord with all their power, with songs and with corded instruments and instruments of brass.

bbe@2Samuel:6:10 @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:6:15 @So David and all the men of Israel took up the ark of the Lord with cries of joy and sounding of horns.

bbe@2Samuel:6:20 @Then David came back to give a blessing to his family. And Michal, Saul's daughter, came out to him and said, How full of glory was the king of Israel today, who let himself be seen uncovered by his servant-girls like a foolish person uncovering himself without shame!

bbe@2Samuel:6:21 @And David said to Michal, I was dancing before the Lord, who put me over your father and all his sons, to make me a ruler over the people of the Lord, over his people Israel: and I will go on playing before the Lord;

bbe@2Samuel:7:8 @Then say these words to my servant David, The Lord of armies says, I took you from the fields, from keeping the sheep, so that you might be a ruler over my people, over my people Israel:

bbe@2Samuel:7:10 @And I will make a resting-place for my people Israel, planting them there, so that they may be living in the place which is theirs, and never again be moved; and never again will they be troubled by evil men as they were at the first,

bbe@2Samuel:7:14 @I will be to him a father and he will be to me a son: if he does wrong, I will give him punishment with the rod of men and with the blows of the children of men;

bbe@2Samuel:7:17 @So Nathan gave David an account of all these words and this vision.

bbe@2Samuel:7:27 @For you, O Lord of armies, the God of Israel, have clearly said to your servant, I will make you the head of a family of kings: and so it has come into your servant's heart to make this prayer to you.

bbe@2Samuel:7:29 @So may it be your pleasure to give your blessing to the family of your servant, so that it may go on for ever before you: (for you, O Lord God, have said it,) and may your blessing be on your servant's family line for ever!

bbe@2Samuel:8:2 @And he overcame the Moabites, and he had them measured with a line when they were stretched out on the earth; marking out two lines for death and one full line for life. So the Moabites became servants to David and gave him offerings.

bbe@2Samuel:8:3 @And David overcame Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, when he went to make his power seen by the River.

bbe@2Samuel:8:10 @He sent his son Hadoram to David, with words of peace and blessing, because he had overcome Hadadezer in the fight, for Hadadezer had wars with Tou; and Hadoram took with him vessels of silver and gold and brass:

bbe@2Samuel:8:12 @The nations of Edom and Moab, and the children of Ammon and the Philistines and the Amalekites and the goods he had taken from Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah.

bbe@2Samuel:8:16 @And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the army; and Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was keeper of the records;

bbe@2Samuel:8:17 @And Zadok and Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, were priests; and Seraiah was the scribe;

bbe@2Samuel:8:18 @And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were priests

bbe@2Samuel:9:1 @And David said, Is there still anyone of Saul's family living, so that I may be a friend to him, because of Jonathan?

bbe@2Samuel:9:3 @And the king said, Is there anyone of Saul's family still living, to whom I may be a friend in God's name? And Ziba said, There is a son of Jonathan, whose feet are damaged.

bbe@2Samuel:9:4 @And the king said to him, Where is he? And Ziba said to the king, He is in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, in Lo-debar.

bbe@2Samuel:9:5 @Then King David sent, and had him taken from Lo-debar, from the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel.

bbe@2Samuel:9:6 @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:9:9 @Then the king sent for Ziba, Saul's servant, and said to him, All the property of Saul and of his family I have given to your master's son.

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:9:11 @Then Ziba said to the king, Every order which you have given to your servant will be done. As for Mephibosheth, he had a place at David's table, like one of the king's sons.

bbe@2Samuel:9:12 @And Mephibosheth had a young son named Mica. And all the people living in the house of Ziba were servants to Mephibosheth.

bbe@2Samuel:9:13 @So Mephibosheth went on living in Jerusalem; for he took all his meals at the king's table; and he had not the use of his feet.

bbe@2Samuel:10:1 @Now after this, death came to the king of the children of Ammon, and Hanun, his son, became king in his place.

bbe@2Samuel:10:2 @And David said, I will be a friend to Hanun, the son of Nahash, as his father was a friend to me. So David sent his servants, to give him words of comfort on account of his father. And David's servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.

bbe@2Samuel:10:4 @So Hanun took David's servants, and after cutting off half the hair on their chins, and cutting off the skirts of their robes up to the middle, he sent them away.

bbe@2Samuel:10:14 @And when the children of Ammon saw the flight of the Aramaeans, they themselves went in flight from Abishai, and came into the town. So Joab went back from fighting the children of Ammon and came to Jerusalem.

bbe@2Samuel:10:19 @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:11:11 @And Uriah said to David, Israel and Judah with the ark are living in tents, and my lord Joab and the other servants of my lord are sleeping in the open field; and am I to go to my house and take food and drink, and go to bed with my wife? By the living Lord, and by the life of your soul, I will not do such a thing

bbe@2Samuel:11:12 @And David said to Uriah, Be here today, and after that I will let you go. So Uriah was in Jerusalem that day and the day after.

bbe@2Samuel:11:15 @And in the letter he said, Take care to put Uriah in the very front of the line, where the fighting is most violent, and go back from him, so that he may be overcome and put to death.

bbe@2Samuel:11:16 @So while Joab was watching the town, he put Uriah in the place where it was clear to him the best fighters were.

bbe@2Samuel:11:20 @If the king is angry and says, Why did you go so near the town for the fight? was it not certain that their archers would be on the wall?

bbe@2Samuel:11:21 @Who put Abimelech, the son of Jerubbaal, to death? did not a woman send a great stone down on him from the wall, putting him to death at Thebez? why did you go so near the wall? Then say to him, Your servant Uriah the Hittite is among the dead.

bbe@2Samuel:11:22 @So the man went, and came to David, and gave him all the news which Joab had sent him to give; then David was angry with Joab and said, Why did you go so near the town for the fight? was it not certain that their archers would be on the wall? who put Abimelech, the son of Jerubbaal, to death? did not a woman send a great stone down on him from the wall, putting him to death at Thebez? why did you go so near the wall?

bbe@2Samuel:11:24 @And the archers sent their arrows at your servants from the wall, and some of the king's servants are dead, and among them is your servant Uriah the Hittite.

bbe@2Samuel:11:27 @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:12:10 @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:12:15 @Then Nathan went back to his house. And the hand of the Lord was on David's son, the child of Uriah's wife, and it became very ill.

bbe@2Samuel:12:16 @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:12:23 @But now that the child is dead there is no reason for me to go without food; am I able to make him come back to life? I will go to him, but he will never come back to me.

bbe@2Samuel:12:24 @And David gave comfort to his wife Bath-sheba, and he went in to her and had connection with her: and she had a son to whom she gave the name Solomon. And he was dear to the Lord.

bbe@2Samuel:12:28 @So now, get the rest of the people together, and put them in position against the town and take it, for if I take it, it will be named after my name.

bbe@2Samuel: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:13:5 @Then Jonadab said to him, Go to your bed, and let it seem that you are ill: and when your father comes to see you, say to him, Let my sister Tamar come and give me bread, and get the food ready before my eyes, so that I may see it and take it from her hand.

bbe@2Samuel:13:6 @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:13:8 @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:13:16 @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:13:20 @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:13:23 @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:13:25 @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:13:29 @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:13:35 @And Jonadab said to the king, See, the king's sons are coming; as your servant said, so it is.

bbe@2Samuel:13:36 @And while he was talking, the king's sons came, with weeping and loud cries: and the king and all his servants were weeping bitterly.

bbe@2Samuel:13:37 @So Absalom went in flight and came to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur, where he was for three years.

bbe@2Samuel:13:38 @And the king was sorrowing for his son all the time.

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:14:3 @And come to the king and say these words to him. So Joab gave her words to say.

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:14:11 @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:14:16 @For the king will give ear, and take his servant out of the power of the man whose purpose is the destruction of me and my son together from the heritage of God.

bbe@2Samuel:14:19 @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:14:23 @So Joab got up and went to Geshur and came back again to Jerusalem with Absalom.

bbe@2Samuel:14:24 @And the king said, Let him go to his house, but let him not see my face. So Absalom went back to his house and did not see the face of the king.

bbe@2Samuel:14:25 @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:14:27 @And Absalom was the father of three sons and of one daughter named Tamar, who was very beautiful.

bbe@2Samuel:14:30 @So he said to his servants, See, Joab's field is near mine, and he has barley in it; go and put it on fire. And Absalom's servants put the field on fire.

bbe@2Samuel:14:32 @And Absalom's answer was, See, I sent to you saying, Come here, so that I may send you to the king to say, Why have I come back from Geshur? it would be better for me to be there still: let me now see the king's face, and if there is any sin in me, let him put me to death.

bbe@2Samuel:14:33 @So Joab went to the king and said these words to him: and when the king had sent for him, Absalom came, and went down on his face on the earth before the king: and the king gave him a kiss.

bbe@2Samuel:15:4 @And more than this, Absalom said, If only I was made judge in the land, so that every man who has any cause or question might come to me, and I would give a right decision for him!

bbe@2Samuel:15:6 @And this Absalom did to everyone in Israel who came to the king to have his cause judged: so Absalom, like a thief, took away the hearts of the men of Israel.

bbe@2Samuel:15:9 @And the king said to him, Go in peace. So he got up and went to Hebron.

bbe@2Samuel:15:10 @But Absalom at the same time sent watchers through all the tribes of Israel to say, At the sound of the horn you are to say, Absalom is king in Hebron.

bbe@2Samuel:15:16 @So the king went out, taking with him all the people of his house, but for ten of his women, who were to take care of the house.

bbe@2Samuel:15:27 @The king said further to Zadok the priest, See, you and Abiathar are to go back to the town in peace, with your two sons, Ahimaaz, your son, and Jonathan, the son of Abiathar.

bbe@2Samuel:15:29 @So Zadok and Abiathar took the ark of God back to Jerusalem, and did not go away from there.

bbe@2Samuel:15:34 @But if you go back to the town and say to Absalom, I will be your servant, O king; as in the past I have been your father's servant, so now I will be yours: then you will be able to keep Ahithophel's designs against me from being put into effect.

bbe@2Samuel:15:35 @And have you not there Zadok and Abiathar the priests? so whatever comes to your ears from the king's house, give word of it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.

bbe@2Samuel:15:36 @See, they have with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok's son, and Jonathan, the son of Abiathar; by them you may send word to me of everything which comes to your ears.

bbe@2Samuel:15:37 @So Hushai, David's friend, went into the town, and Absalom came to Jerusalem.

bbe@2Samuel:16:2 @And David said to Ziba, What is your reason for this? And Ziba said, The asses are for the use of the king's people, and the bread and the fruit are food for the young men; and the wine is for drink for those who are overcome by weariness in the waste land.

bbe@2Samuel:16:3 @And the king said, And where is your master's son? And Ziba said, He is still at Jerusalem: for he said, Today Israel will give back to me the kingdom of my father.

bbe@2Samuel:16:5 @And when King David came to Bahurim, a man of Saul's family named Shimei, the son of Gera, came out from there, calling curses after him.

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:16:9 @Then Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, said to the king, Is this dead dog to go on cursing my lord the king? let me go over and take off his head.

bbe@2Samuel:16:10 @And the king said, What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? Let him go on cursing, for the Lord has said, Put a curse on David, and who then may say, Why have you done so?

bbe@2Samuel:16:11 @And David said to Abishai and to all his servants, You see how my son, the offspring of my body, has made designs against my life: how much more then may this Benjamite do so? Let him be, and let him go on cursing; for the Lord has given him orders.

bbe@2Samuel:16:13 @So David and his men went on their way: and Shimei went by the hillside parallel with them, cursing and sending stones and dust at him.

bbe@2Samuel:16:18 @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:16:22 @So they put up the tent for Absalom on the top of the house, and Absalom went in to his father's women before the eyes of all Israel.

bbe@2Samuel:16:23 @In those days the opinions of Ahithophel were valued as highly as if through him a man might get direction from God; so were they valued by David as much as by Absalom.

bbe@2Samuel:17:3 @And I will make all the people come back to you as a bride comes back to her husband: it is the life of only one man you are going after; so all the people will be at peace.

bbe@2Samuel:17:9 @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:17:14 @Then Absalom and all the men of Israel said, Hushai's suggestion is better than that of Ahithophel. For it was the purpose of the Lord to make the wise designs of Ahithophel without effect, so that the Lord might send evil on Absalom.

bbe@2Samuel:17:16 @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:17:18 @But a boy saw them, and gave word of it to Absalom: so the two of them went away quickly, and came to the house of a man in Bahurim who had a water-hole in his garden, and they went down into it.

bbe@2Samuel:17:22 @So David and all the people who were with him went up over Jordan: when dawn came, every one of them had gone over Jordan.

bbe@2Samuel:17:23 @Now when Ahithophel saw that his suggestion was not acted on, he got his ass ready, and went back to his house, to the town where he came from, and having put his house in order, he put himself to death by hanging; so he came to his end and was put in the resting-place of his father

bbe@2Samuel:17:25 @And Absalom put Amasa at the head of the army in place of Joab. Now Amasa was the son of a man named Ithra the Ishmaelite, who had been the lover of Abigail, the daughter of Jesse, sister of Zeruiah, Joab's mother.

bbe@2Samuel:17:27 @Now when David had come to Mahanaim, Shobi, the son of Nahash of Rabbah, the Ammonite, and Machir, the son of Ammiel of Lo-debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim,

bbe@2Samuel:17:28 @Came with beds and basins and pots, and grain and meal, and all sorts of dry foods,

bbe@2Samuel:18:2 @And David sent the people out, a third of them under the orders of Joab, and a third under the orders of Abishai, son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and a third under Ittai the Gittite. And the king said to the people, And I myself will certainly go out with you.

bbe@2Samuel:18:3 @But the people said, It is better for you not to go out: for if we are put to flight, they will not give a thought to us, and if death overtakes half of us, it will be nothing to them: but you are of more value than ten thousand of us: so it is better for you to be ready to come to our help from this town.

bbe@2Samuel:18:4 @And the king said to them, I will do whatever seems best to you. So the king took his place by the door of the town, and all the people went out by hundreds and by thousands.

bbe@2Samuel:18:6 @So the people went out into the field against Israel, and the fight took place in the woods of Ephraim.

bbe@2Samuel:18:9 @And Absalom came across some of David's men. And Absalom was seated on his mule, and the mule went under the thick branches of a great tree, and his head became fixed in the tree and he was lifted up between earth and heaven, and the beast under him went on.

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:18:16 @And Joab had the horn sounded, and the people came back from going after Israel, for Joab kept them back.

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:18:19 @Then Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok, said, Let me go and give the king news of how the Lord has done right in his cause against those who took up arms against him.

bbe@2Samuel:18:20 @And Joab said, You will take no news today; another day you may give him the news, but you will take no news today, because the king's son is dead.

bbe@2Samuel:18:22 @Then Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok, said to Joab again, Whatever may come of it, let me go after the Cushite. And Joab said, Why have you a desire to go, my son, seeing that you will get no reward for your news?

bbe@2Samuel:18:23 @Whatever may come of it, he said, I will go. Then he said to him, Go. So Ahimaaz went running by the lowland road and overtook the Cushite.

bbe@2Samuel:18:27 @And the watchman said, It seems to me that the running of the first is like the running of Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok. And the king said, He is a good man, and his news will be good.

bbe@2Samuel:18:30 @And the king said, Get back and take your place here. So turning to one side, he took his place there.

bbe@2Samuel:18:33 @Then the king was much moved, and went up into the room over the door, weeping, and saying, O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! if only my life might have been given for yours, O Absalom, my son, my son!

bbe@2Samuel:19:1 @And word was given to Joab that the king was weeping and sorrowing for Absalom.

bbe@2Samuel:19:2 @And the salvation of that day was changed to sorrow for all the people: for it was said to the people, The king is in bitter grief for his son.

bbe@2Samuel:19:4 @But the king, covering his face, gave a great cry, O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son!

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:19:7 @So get up now, and go out and say some kind words to your servants; for, by the Lord, I give you my oath, that if you do not go out, not one of them will keep with you tonight; and that will be worse for you than all the evil which has overtaken you from your earliest years.

bbe@2Samuel:19:14 @And the hearts of the men of Judah were moved like one man; so that they sent to the king, saying, Come back, with all your servants.

bbe@2Samuel:19:15 @So the king came back, and came as far as Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, meeting the king there, to take him back with them over Jordan.

bbe@2Samuel:19:16 @And Shimei, the son of Gera, the Benjamite from Bahurim, got up quickly and went down with the men of Judah for the purpose of meeting King David;

bbe@2Samuel:19:17 @And with him a thousand men of Benjamin, and Ziba, the servant of Saul, with his fifteen sons and twenty servants, came rushing to Jordan before the king,

bbe@2Samuel:19:18 @And kept going across the river to take the people of the king's house over, and to do whatever was desired by the king. And Shimei, the son of Gera, went down on his face in the dust before the king, when he was about to go over Jordan,

bbe@2Samuel:19:20 @For your servant is conscious of his sin: and so, as you see, I have come today, the first of all the sons of Joseph, for the purpose of meeting my lord the king.

bbe@2Samuel:19:21 @But Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, said, Is not death the right fate for Shimei, because he has been cursing the one marked by the holy oil?

bbe@2Samuel:19:22 @And David said, What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah, that you put yourselves against me today? is it right for any man in Israel to be put to death today? for I am certain today that I am king in Israel.

bbe@2Samuel:19:23 @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:19:35 @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:19:40 @So the king went over to Gilgal, and Chimham went with him: and all the people of Judah, as well as half the people of Israel, took the king on his way.

bbe@2Samuel:20:1 @Now by chance there was present a good-for-nothing person named Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite: and he, sounding the horn, said, We have no part in David, or any interest in the son of Jesse: let every man go to his tent, O Israel.

bbe@2Samuel:20:2 @So all the men of Israel, turning away from David, went after Sheba, the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah were true to their king, going with him from Jordan as far as Jerusalem.

bbe@2Samuel:20:3 @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:20:5 @So Amasa went to get all the men of Judah together, but he took longer than the time David had given him.

bbe@2Samuel:20:6 @And David said to Abishai, Sheba, the son of Bichri, will do us more damage than Absalom did; so take some of your lord's servants and go after him, before he makes himself safe in the walled towns, and gets away before our eyes.

bbe@2Samuel:20:7 @So there went after Abishai, Joab and the Cherethites and the Pelethites and all the fighting-men; they went out of Jerusalem to overtake Sheba, the son of Bichri.

bbe@2Samuel:20:10 @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:20:13 @When he had been taken off the road, all the people went on after Joab in search of 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:20:22 @Then the woman in her wisdom had talk with all the town. And they had Sheba's head cut off and sent out to Joab. And he had the horn sounded, and sent them all away from the town, every man to his tent. And Joab went back to Jerusalem to the king.

bbe@2Samuel:20:23 @Now Joab was over all the army; and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was at the head of the Cherethites and the Pelethites;

bbe@2Samuel:20:24 @And Adoram was overseer of the forced work; and Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was the recorder;

bbe@2Samuel:21:3 @So David said to the Gibeonites, What may I do for you? how am I to make up to you for your wrongs, so that you may give a blessing to the heritage of the Lord?

bbe@2Samuel:21:7 @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:21:8 @But the king took Armoni and Mephibosheth, the two sons of Saul to whom Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, had given birth; and the five sons of Saul's daughter Merab, whose father was Adriel, the son of Barzillai the Meholathite:

bbe@2Samuel:21:12 @And David went and took the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan from the men of Jabesh-gilead, who had taken them away secretly from the public place of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had put them, hanging up the bodies there on the day when they put Saul to death in Gilboa:

bbe@2Samuel:21:13 @And he took the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan from that place; and they got together the bones of those who had been put to death by hanging.

bbe@2Samuel:21:14 @And they put them with the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan in the resting-place of Kish, his father, in Zela in the country of Benjamin; they did all the king had given them orders to do

bbe@2Samuel:21:17 @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:21:19 @And again there was war with the Philistines at Gob, and Elhanan, the son of Jair the Beth-lehemite, put to death Goliath the Gittite, the stem of whose spear was like a cloth-worker's rod.

bbe@2Samuel:21:21 @And when he was purposing to put shame on Israel, Jonathan, the son of Shimei, David's brother, put him to death.

bbe@2Samuel:22:1 @And David made a song to the Lord in these words, on the day when the Lord made him free from the hands of all his haters, and from the hand of Saul:

bbe@2Samuel:22:4 @I will send up my cry to the Lord, who is to be praised; so will I be made safe from those who are against me.

bbe@2Samuel:22:10 @The heavens were bent, so that he might come down; and it was dark under his feet.

bbe@2Samuel:22:14 @The Lord made thunder in the heavens, and the voice of the Highest was sounding out.

bbe@2Samuel:22:35 @He makes my hands expert in war, so that a bow of brass is bent by my arms.

bbe@2Samuel:22:37 @You have made my steps wide under me, so that my feet make no slip.

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:22:41 @By you their backs are turned in flight, so that my haters are cut off.

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

bbe@2Samuel:23:1 @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:23:9 @After him was Eleazar, the son of Dodai the Ahohite, one of the three great fighters, who was with David in Pas-dammim when the Philistines came together there for the fight; and when the men of Israel had gone in flight,

bbe@2Samuel:23:11 @After him was Shammah, the son of Ela the Hararite. And the Philistines came together in Lehi, where there was a bit of land full of seed; and the people went in flight from the Philistines.

bbe@2Samuel:23:15 @And David, moved by a strong desire, said, If only someone would give me a drink of water from the water-hole of Beth-lehem, by the doorway into the town!

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:23:18 @And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the thirty

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:23:22 @These were the acts of Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, who had a great name among the thirty men of war.

bbe@2Samuel:23:24 @Asahel, the brother of Joab, was one of the thirty; and Elhanan, the son of Dodai, of Beth-lehem,

bbe@2Samuel:23:26 @Helez the Paltite, Ira, the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite,

bbe@2Samuel:23:29 @Heldai, the son of Baanah the Netophathite, Ittai, the son of Ribai of Gibeah of the children of Benjamin,

bbe@2Samuel:23:33 @Jonathan, the son of Shammah the Hararite, Ahiam, the son of Sharar the Hararite,

bbe@2Samuel:23:34 @Eliphelet, the son of Ahasbai the Maacathite, Eliam, the son of Ahithophel the Gilonite,

bbe@2Samuel:23:36 @Igal, the son of Nathan of Zobah, Bani the Gadite,

bbe@2Samuel:23:37 @Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai the Beerothite, who had the care of the arms of Joab, son of Zeruiah,

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:24:7 @And to the walled town of Tyre, and to all the towns of the Hivites and the Canaanites: and they went out to the South of Judah at Beer-sheba.

bbe@2Samuel:24:8 @So after going through all the land in every direction, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.

bbe@2Samuel:24:13 @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:24:15 @So David made selection of the disease; and the time was the days of the grain-cutting, when the disease came among the people, causing the death of seventy thousand men from Dan as far as Beer-sheba.

bbe@2Samuel:24:19 @So David went up, as Gad had said and as the Lord had given orders.

bbe@2Samuel:24:21 @And Araunah said, Why has my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To give you a price for your grain-floor, so that I may put up an altar to the Lord, and the disease may be stopped among the people.

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@2Samuel:24:25 @And there David put up an altar to the Lord, making burned offerings and peace-offerings. So the Lord gave ear to his prayer for the land, and the disease came to an end in Israel.

bbe@1Kings:1:2 @So his servants said to him, Let search be made for a young virgin for my lord the king, to take care of him and be waiting on him; and you may take her in your arms, and so my lord the king will be warm.

bbe@1Kings:1:3 @So after searching through all the land of Israel for a fair young girl, they saw Abishag the Shunammite, and took her to the king.

bbe@1Kings:1:5 @Then Adonijah, the son of Haggith, lifting himself up in pride, said, I will become king; and he made ready his carriages of war and his horsemen, with fifty runners to go before him.

bbe@1Kings:1:6 @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:1:7 @And he had talk with Joab, the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest; and they were on his side and gave him their support.

bbe@1Kings:1:8 @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:1:9 @Then Adonijah put to death sheep and oxen and fat beasts by the stone of Zoheleth, by En-rogel; and he sent for all his brothers, the king's sons, and all the men of Judah, the king's servants, to come to him:

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:1:17 @And she said to him, My lord, you took an oath by the Lord your God and gave your word to your servant, saying, Truly, Solomon your son will be king after me, seated on the seat of my kingdom.

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:1:21 @For as things are, it will come about, when my lord the king is sleeping with his fathers, that I and Solomon my son will be made outlaws.

bbe@1Kings:1:25 @Because today he has gone down and has put to death oxen and fat beasts and sheep in great numbers, and has sent for all the king's sons to come to him, with the captains of the army and Abiathar the priest; and they are feasting before him and crying, Long life to King Adonijah!

bbe@1Kings:1:26 @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:1:30 @As I took an oath to you by the Lord, the God of Israel, saying, Certainly Solomon your son will become king after me, seated on my seat in my place; so will I do this day.

bbe@1Kings:1:32 @And King David said, Send for Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada. And they came before the king.

bbe@1Kings:1:33 @And the king said to them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and put Solomon my son on my beast, yes, mine, and take him down to Gihon;

bbe@1Kings:1:34 @And there let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet put the holy oil on him to make him king over Israel; and sounding the horn say, Long life to King Solomon!

bbe@1Kings:1:36 @And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, answering the king, said, So be it: and may the Lord, the God of my lord the king, say so.

bbe@1Kings:1:37 @As the Lord has been with my lord the king, even so may he be with Solomon and make the seat of his authority greater than that of my lord King David.

bbe@1Kings:1:38 @So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, went down and put Solomon on King David's beast and took him to Gihon.

bbe@1Kings:1:39 @And Zadok the priest took the vessel of oil out of the Tent, and put the holy oil on Solomon. And when the horn was sounded, all the people said, Long life to King Solomon!

bbe@1Kings:1:40 @And all the people came up after him, piping with pipes, and they were glad with great joy, so that the earth was shaking with the sound.

bbe@1Kings:1:41 @And it came to the ears of Adonijah and all the guests who were with him, when their meal was ended. And Joab, hearing the sound of the horn, said, What is the reason of this noise as if the town was worked up?

bbe@1Kings:1:42 @And while the words were on his lips, Jonathan, the son of Abiathar the priest, came; and Adonijah said, Come in; for you are a man of good faith and the news which you have for us will be good.

bbe@1Kings:1:43 @And Jonathan, answering, said to Adonijah, Not so, but our lord King David has made Solomon king:

bbe@1Kings:1:44 @And he sent with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and they put him on the king's beast:

bbe@1Kings:1:46 @And now Solomon is seated on the seat of the kingdom.

bbe@1Kings:1:47 @And the king's servants came to our lord King David, blessing him and saying, May God make the name of Solomon better than your name, and the seat of his authority greater than your seat; and the king was bent low in worship on his bed.

bbe@1Kings:1:50 @And Adonijah himself was full of fear because of Solomon; and he got up and went to the altar, and put his hands on its horns.

bbe@1Kings:1:51 @And they gave Solomon word of it, saying, See, Adonijah goes in such fear of King Solomon, that he has put his hands on the horns of the altar, saying, Let King Solomon first give me his oath that he will not put his servant to death with the sword.

bbe@1Kings:1:52 @And Solomon said, If he is seen to be a man of good faith, not a hair of him will be touched; but if any wrongdoing is seen in him, he is to be put to death.

bbe@1Kings: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:2:2 @I am going the way of all the earth: so be strong and be a man;

bbe@1Kings:2:3 @And keep the orders of the Lord your God, walking in his ways, keeping his laws and his orders and his rules and his words, as they are recorded in the law of Moses; so that you may do well in all you do and wherever you go,

bbe@1Kings:2:4 @So that the Lord may give effect to what he said of me, If your children give attention to their ways, living uprightly before me with all their heart and their soul, you will never be without a man to be king in Israel.

bbe@1Kings:2:5 @Now you have knowledge of what Joab, the son of Zeruiah, did to me, and to the two captains of the army of Israel, Abner, the son of Ner, and Amasa, the son of Jether, whom he put to death, taking payment for the blood of war in time of peace, and making the band of my clothing and the shoes on my feet red with the blood of one put to death without cause.

bbe@1Kings:2:6 @So be guided by your wisdom, and let not his white head go down to the underworld in peace.

bbe@1Kings:2:7 @But be good to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be guests at your table; for so they came to me when I went in flight from Absalom your brother.

bbe@1Kings:2:8 @Now you have with you Shimei, the son of Gera the Benjamite of Bahurim, who put a bitter curse on me on the day when I went to Mahanaim; but he came down to see me at Jordan, and I gave him my oath by the Lord, saying, I will not put you to death by the sword.

bbe@1Kings:2:12 @And Solomon took his place on the seat of David his father, and his kingdom was made safe and strong.

bbe@1Kings:2:13 @Then Adonijah, the son of Haggith, came to Bath-sheba, the mother of Solomon. And she said, Come you in peace? And he said, Yes, in peace.

bbe@1Kings:2:14 @Then he said, I have something to say to you. And she said, 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:2:19 @So Bath-sheba went to King Solomon to have talk with him on Adonijah's account. And the king got up to come to her, and went down low to the earth before her; then he took his place on the king's seat and had a seat made ready for the king's mother and she took her place at his right hand.

bbe@1Kings:2:22 @Then King Solomon made answer and said to his mother, Why are you requesting me to give Abishag the Shunammite to Adonijah? Take the kingdom for him in addition, for he is my older brother, and Abiathar the priest and Joab, the son of Zeruiah, are on his side.

bbe@1Kings:2:23 @Then King Solomon took an oath by the Lord, saying, May God's punishment be on me if Adonijah does not give payment for these words with his life.

bbe@1Kings:2:25 @And King Solomon sent Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and he made an attack on him and put him to death.

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:2:29 @And they said to King Solomon, Joab has gone in flight to the Tent of the Lord and is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, make an attack on him.

bbe@1Kings:2:31 @And the king said, Do as he has said and make an attack on him there, and put his body into the earth; so that you may take away from me and from my family the blood of one put to death by Joab without cause.

bbe@1Kings:2:32 @And the Lord will send back his blood on his head, because of the attack he made on two men more upright and better than himself, putting them to the sword without my father's knowledge; even Abner, the son of Ner, captain of the army of Israel, and Amasa, the son of Jether, captain of the army of Judah.

bbe@1Kings:2:33 @So their blood will be on the head of Joab, and on the head of his seed for ever; but for David and his seed and his family and the seat of his kingdom, there will be peace for ever from the Lord.

bbe@1Kings:2:34 @So Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, went up, and falling on him, put him to death; and his body was put to rest in his house in the waste land.

bbe@1Kings:2:35 @And the king put Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, in his place over the army; and Zadok the priest he put in the place of Abiathar.

bbe@1Kings:2:38 @And Shimei said to the king, Very well! as my lord the king has said, so will your servant do. And for a long time Shimei went on living in Jerusalem.

bbe@1Kings:2:39 @But after three years, two of the servants of Shimei went in flight to Achish, son of Maacah, king of Gath. And word was given to Shimei that his servants had gone to Gath.

bbe@1Kings:2:41 @And news was given to Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath and had come back again.

bbe@1Kings:2:45 @But a blessing will be on King Solomon, and the kingdom of David will keep its place before the Lord for ever.

bbe@1Kings:2:46 @So the king gave orders to Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada; and he went out and, falling on him, put him to death. And Solomon's authority over the kingdom was complete.

bbe@1Kings:3:1 @Solomon became the son-in-law of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh's daughter as his wife, keeping her in the town of David, till the house he was building for himself, and the house of the Lord and the wall round Jerusalem, were complete.

bbe@1Kings:3:3 @And Solomon, in his love for the Lord, kept the laws of David his father; but he made offerings and let them go up in smoke on the high places.

bbe@1Kings:3:4 @And the king went to Gibeon to make an offering there, because that was the chief high place: it was Solomon's way to make a thousand burned offerings on that altar.

bbe@1Kings:3:5 @In Gibeon, Solomon had a vision of the Lord in a dream by night; and God said to him, Say what I am to give you.

bbe@1Kings:3:6 @And Solomon said, Great was your mercy to David my father, as his life before you was true and upright and his heart was true to you; and you have kept for him this greatest mercy, a son to take his place this day.

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:3:12 @I have done as you said: I have given you a wise and far-seeing heart, so that there has never been your equal in the past, and never will there be any like you in the future.

bbe@1Kings:3:13 @And with this I have given you what you made no request for: wealth and honour, so that no king was ever your equal.

bbe@1Kings:3:15 @And Solomon, awakening, saw that it was a dream; then he came to Jerusalem, where he went before the ark of the agreement of the Lord, offering burned offerings and peace-offerings; and he made a feast for all his servants.

bbe@1Kings:3:18 @And three days after the birth of my child, this woman had a child: we were together, no other-person was with us in the house but we two only.

bbe@1Kings:3:20 @And she got up in the middle of the night and took my son from my side while your servant was sleeping; and she took it in her arms and put her dead child in my arms.

bbe@1Kings:3:21 @And when I got up to give my child the breast, I saw that it was dead; but in the morning, looking at it with care, I saw that it was not my son.

bbe@1Kings:3:22 @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:3:24 @Then he said, Get me a sword. So they went and put a sword before the king.

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:4:1 @Now Solomon was king over all Israel.

bbe@1Kings:4:2 @And these were his chief men: Azariah, the son of Zadok, was the priest;

bbe@1Kings:4:3 @Elihoreph and Ahijah, the sons of Shisha, were scribes; Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was the recorder;

bbe@1Kings:4:4 @Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was head of the army; Zadok and Abiathar were priests;

bbe@1Kings:4:5 @Azariah, the son of Nathan, was over those in authority in the different divisions of the country; Zabud, the son of Nathan, was priest and the king's friend;

bbe@1Kings:4:6 @Ahishar was controller of the king's house; Adoniram, the son of Abda, was overseer of the forced work.

bbe@1Kings:4:7 @And Solomon put twelve overseers over all Israel, to be responsible for the stores needed for the king and those of his house; every man was responsible for one month in the year.

bbe@1Kings:4:8 @And these are their names:... the son of Hur in the hill country of Ephraim;

bbe@1Kings:4:9 @... the son of Deker in Makaz and Shaalbim and Beth-shemesh and Elonbeth-hanan;

bbe@1Kings:4:11 @... the son of Abinadab in all Naphath-dor; his wife was Taphath, the daughter of Solomon.

bbe@1Kings:4:12 @Baana, the son of Ahilud, in Taanach and Megiddo, and all Beth-shean which is by the side of Zarethan, under Jezreel, from Beth-shean to Abel-meholah, as far as the far side of Jokmeam;

bbe@1Kings:4:13 @... the son of Geber in Ramoth-gilead; he had the towns of Jair, the son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead, and the country of Argob, which is in Bashan, sixty great towns with walls and locks of brass.

bbe@1Kings:4:14 @Ahinadab, the son of Iddo, in Mahanaim;

bbe@1Kings:4:15 @Ahimaaz in Naphtali; he took Basemath, the daughter of Solomon, as his wife;

bbe@1Kings:4:16 @Baana, the son of Hushai, in Asher and Aloth;

bbe@1Kings:4:17 @Jehoshaphat, the son of Paruah, in Issachar;

bbe@1Kings:4:18 @Shimei, the son of Ela, in Benjamin;

bbe@1Kings:4:19 @Geber, the son of Uri, in the land of Gilead, the country of Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan; and one overseer had authority over all the overseers who were in the land.

bbe@1Kings:4:21 @And Solomon was ruler over all the kingdoms from the River to the land of the Philistines, and as far as the edge of Egypt; men gave him offerings and were his servants all the days of his life.

bbe@1Kings:4:22 @And the amount of Solomon's food for one day was thirty measures of crushed grain and sixty measures of meal;

bbe@1Kings:4:25 @So Judah and Israel were living safely, every man under his vine and his fig-tree, from Dan as far as Beer-sheba, all the days of Solomon.

bbe@1Kings:4:26 @And Solomon had four thousand boxed-off spaces for horses for his carriages, and twelve thousand horsemen.

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:4:29 @And God gave Solomon a great store of wisdom and good sense, and a mind of wide range, as wide as the sand by the seaside.

bbe@1Kings:4:30 @And Solomon's wisdom was greater than the wisdom of all the people of the East and all the wisdom of Egypt.

bbe@1Kings:4:31 @For he was wiser than all men, even than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman and Calcol and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and he had a great name among all the nations round about.

bbe@1Kings:4:32 @He was the maker of three thousand wise sayings, and of songs to the number of a thousand and five.

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

bbe@1Kings: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:5:2 @And Solomon sent back word to Hiram, saying,

bbe@1Kings:5:5 @And so it is my purpose to make a house for the name of the Lord my God, as he said to David my father, Your son, whom I will make king in your place, will be the builder of a house for my name.

bbe@1Kings:5:6 @So now, will you have cedar-trees from Lebanon cut down for me, and my servants will be with your servants; and I will give you payment for your servants at whatever rate you say; for it is common knowledge that we have no such wood-cutters among us as the men of Zidon.

bbe@1Kings:5:7 @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:5:8 @Then Hiram sent to Solomon, saying; The words you sent have been given to me: I will do all your desire in the question of cedar-wood and cypress-wood.

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:5:10 @So Hiram gave Solomon all the cedar-wood and cypress-wood he had need of;

bbe@1Kings:5:11 @And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of grain, as food for his people, and twenty measures of clear oil; this he did every year.

bbe@1Kings:5:12 @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:5:13 @Then King Solomon got together men for the forced work through all Israel, thirty thousand men in number;

bbe@1Kings:5:16 @In addition to the chiefs of the responsible men put by Solomon to oversee the work, three thousand and three hundred in authority over the workmen.

bbe@1Kings:5:17 @By the king's orders great stones, stones of high price, were cut out, so that the base of the house might be made of squared stone.

bbe@1Kings:5:18 @Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders did the work of cutting them, and put edges on them, and got the wood and the stone ready for the building of the house.

bbe@1Kings:6:1 @In the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year that Solomon was king of Israel, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, the building of the Lord's house was started.

bbe@1Kings:6:2 @The house which Solomon made for the Lord was sixty cubits long, twenty cubits wide and thirty cubits high.

bbe@1Kings:6:6 @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:6:9 @So he put up the house and made it complete, roofing it with boards of cedar-wood.

bbe@1Kings:6:11 @(And the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying,

bbe@1Kings:6:14 @So Solomon made the building of the house complete

bbe@1Kings:6:21 @Solomon had all the inside of the house covered with gold, and he put chains of gold across in front of the inmost room, which itself was covered with gold.

bbe@1Kings:6:38 @And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, the building of the house was complete in every detail, as it had been designed. So he was seven years building it.

bbe@1Kings:7:1 @Solomon was thirteen years building a house for himself till it was complete.

bbe@1Kings:7:8 @And the house for his living-place, the other open square in the covered room, was made in the same way. And then he made a house like it for Pharaoh's daughter, whom Solomon had taken as his wife.

bbe@1Kings:7:10 @And the base was of great masses of highly priced stone, some ten cubits and some eight cubits square.

bbe@1Kings:7:13 @Then King Solomon sent and got Hiram from Tyre.

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:7:16 @And he made the two crowns to be put on the tops of the pillars, of brass made soft in the fire; the crowns were five cubits high

bbe@1Kings:7:25 @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:7:39 @And he put the bases by the house, five on the right side and five on the left; and he put the great water-vessel on the right side of the house, to the east, facing south.

bbe@1Kings:7:40 @And Hiram made the pots and spades and the basins. So Hiram came to the end of all the work he did for King Solomon in the house of the Lord:

bbe@1Kings:7:45 @And the pots and the spades and the basins; all the vessels which Hiram made for King Solomon, for the house of the Lord, were of polished brass.

bbe@1Kings:7:48 @And Solomon had all the vessels made for use in the house of the Lord: the altar of gold and the gold table on which the holy bread was placed;

bbe@1Kings:7:50 @And the cups and the scissors and the basins and the spoons and the fire-trays, all of gold; and the pins on which the doors were turned, the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and the doors of the Temple, all of gold.

bbe@1Kings:7:51 @So all the work King Solomon had done in the house of the Lord was complete. Then Solomon took the holy things which David his father had given, the silver and the gold and all the vessels, and put them in the store-houses of the house of the Lord.

bbe@1Kings:8:1 @Then Solomon sent for all the responsible men of Israel, and all the chiefs of the tribes, and the heads of families of the children of Israel, to come to him in Jerusalem to take the ark of the Lord's agreement up out of the town of David, which is Zion.

bbe@1Kings:8:2 @And all the men of Israel came together to King Solomon at the feast, in the month Ethanim, the seventh month.

bbe@1Kings:8:5 @And King Solomon and all the men of Israel who had come together there, were with him before the ark, making offerings of sheep and oxen more than might be numbered.

bbe@1Kings:8:8 @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:8:11 @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:8:13 @So I have made for you a living-place, a house in which you may be for ever present.

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:8:22 @Then Solomon took his place before the altar of the Lord, all the men of Israel being present, and stretching out his hands to heaven,

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:8:32 @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:8:36 @Then give ear in heaven, so that the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, may have forgiveness, when you make clear to them the good way in which they are to go; and send rain on your land which you have given to your people for their heritage.

bbe@1Kings:8:40 @So that they may give you worship all the days of their life in the land which you gave to our fathers.

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:8:47 @And if they take thought, in the land where they are prisoners, and are turned again to you, crying out in prayer to you in that land, and saying, We are sinners, we have done wrong, we have done evil;

bbe@1Kings:8:48 @And with all their heart and soul are turned again to you, in the land of those who took them prisoners, and make their prayer to you, turning their eyes to this land which you gave to their fathers, and to the town which you took for yourself, and the house which I made for your name:

bbe@1Kings:8:50 @Answering with forgiveness the people who have done wrong against you, and overlooking the evil which they have done against you; let those who made them prisoners be moved with pity for them, and have pity on them;

bbe@1Kings:8:54 @Then Solomon, after making all these prayers and requests for grace to the Lord, got up from his knees before the altar of the Lord, where his hands had been stretched out in prayer to heaven;

bbe@1Kings:8:59 @And may these my words, the words of my prayer to the Lord, be before the Lord our God day and night, so that he may see right done to his servant and to his people Israel, day by day as we have need.

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:8:63 @And Solomon gave to the Lord for peace-offerings, twenty-two thousand oxen and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel kept the feast of the opening of the Lord's house.

bbe@1Kings:8:65 @So Solomon and all Israel with him, a very great meeting, (for the people had come together from the way into Hamath to the river of Egypt,) kept the feast at that time before the Lord our God, for two weeks, even fourteen days.

bbe@1Kings:9:1 @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:9:8 @And this house will become a mass of broken walls, and everyone who goes by will be overcome with wonder at it and make whistling sounds; and they will say, Why has the Lord done so to this land and to this house?

bbe@1Kings:9:10 @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:9:11 @(Hiram, king of Tyre, had given Solomon cedar-trees and cypress-trees and gold, as much as he had need of,) King Solomon gave Hiram twenty towns in the land of Galilee.

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:9:13 @And he said, What sort of towns are these which you have given me, my brother? So they were named the land of Cabul, to this day.

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:9:16 @Pharaoh, king of Egypt, came and took Gezer, burning it down and putting to death the Canaanites living in the town, and he gave it for a bride-offering to his daughter, Solomon's wife....

bbe@1Kings:9:17 @... and Solomon was the builder of Gezer and Beth-horon the lower,

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:9:21 @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:9:23 @These were the chiefs of the overseers of Solomon's work, five hundred and fifty, in authority over the people who did the work.

bbe@1Kings:9:24 @At that time Solomon made Pharaoh's daughter come up from the town of David to the house which he had made for her: then he made the Millo.

bbe@1Kings:9:25 @Three times in the year it was Solomon's way to give burned offerings and peace-offerings on the altar he had made to the Lord, causing his fire-offering to go up on the altar before the Lord.

bbe@1Kings:9:26 @And King Solomon made a sea-force of ships in Ezion-geber, by Eloth, on the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.

bbe@1Kings:9:27 @Hiram sent his servants, who were experienced seamen, in the sea-force with Solomon's men.

bbe@1Kings:9:28 @And they came to Ophir, where they got four hundred and twenty talents of gold, and took it back to King Solomon.

bbe@1Kings:10:1 @Now the queen of Sheba, hearing great things of Solomon, came to put his wisdom to the test with hard questions.

bbe@1Kings:10:2 @And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels weighted down with spices, and stores of gold and jewels: and when she came to Solomon she had talk with him of everything in her mind.

bbe@1Kings:10:3 @And Solomon gave her answers to all her questions; there was no secret which the king did not make clear to her.

bbe@1Kings:10:4 @And when the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had made,

bbe@1Kings:10:10 @And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and a great store of spices and jewels: never again was such a wealth of spices seen as that which the queen of Sheba gave King Solomon.

bbe@1Kings:10:13 @And King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she made request for, in addition to what he gave her freely from the impulse of his heart. So she went back to her country, she and her servants.

bbe@1Kings:10:14 @Now the weight of gold which came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents;

bbe@1Kings:10:16 @And Solomon made two hundred body-covers of hammered gold, every one having six hundred shekels of gold in it.

bbe@1Kings:10:21 @And all King Solomon's drinking-vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the Woods of Lebanon were of the best gold; not one was of silver, for no one gave a thought to silver in the days of King Solomon.

bbe@1Kings:10:23 @And King Solomon was greater than all the kings of the earth in wealth and in wisdom.

bbe@1Kings:10:24 @And from all over the earth they came to see Solomon and to give ear to his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.

bbe@1Kings:10:26 @And Solomon got together war-carriages and horsemen; he had one thousand, four hundred carriages and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he kept, some in the carriage-towns and some with the king at Jerusalem.

bbe@1Kings:10:28 @And Solomon's horses came from Egypt and from Kue; the king's traders got them at a price from Kue.

bbe@1Kings:11:1 @Now a number of strange women were loved by Solomon, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites:

bbe@1Kings:11:2 @The nations of which the Lord had said to the children of Israel, You are not to take wives from them and they are not to take wives from you; or they will certainly make you go after their gods: to these Solomon was united in love.

bbe@1Kings:11:4 @For it came about that when Solomon was old, his heart was turned away to other gods by his wives; and his heart was no longer true to the Lord his God as the heart of his father David had been.

bbe@1Kings:11:5 @For Solomon went after Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Zidonians, and Milcom, the disgusting god of the Ammonites.

bbe@1Kings:11:6 @And Solomon did evil in the eyes of the Lord, not walking in the Lord's ways with all his heart as David his father did.

bbe@1Kings:11:7 @Then Solomon put up a high place for Chemosh, the disgusting god of Moab, in the mountain before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the disgusting god worshipped by the children of Ammon.

bbe@1Kings:11:8 @And so he did for all his strange wives, who made offerings with burning of perfumes to their gods.

bbe@1Kings:11:9 @And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had twice come to him in a vision;

bbe@1Kings:11:11 @So the Lord said to Solomon, Because you have done this, and have not kept my agreement and my laws, which I gave you, I will take the kingdom away from you by force and will give it to your servant

bbe@1Kings:11:12 @I will not do it in your life-time, because of your father David, but I will take it from your son.

bbe@1Kings:11:13 @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:11:14 @So the Lord sent Hadad the Edomite to make trouble for Solomon: he was of the king's seed in Edom.

bbe@1Kings:11:19 @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:11:20 @And the sister of Tahpenes had a son by him, Genubath, whom Tahpenes took care of in Pharaoh's house; and Genubath was living in Pharaoh's house among Pharaoh's sons.

bbe@1Kings:11:22 @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:11:24 @He got some men together and made himself captain of a band of outlaws; and went to Damascus and became king there.

bbe@1Kings:11:25 @He was a trouble to Israel all through the days of Solomon. And this is the damage Hadad did: he was cruel to Israel while he was ruler over Edom.

bbe@1Kings:11:26 @And there was Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite from Zeredah, a servant of Solomon, whose mother was Zeruah, a widow; and his hand was lifted up against the king.

bbe@1Kings:11:27 @The way in which his hand came to be lifted up against the king was this: Solomon was building the Millo and making good the damaged parts of the town of his father David;

bbe@1Kings:11:28 @And Jeroboam was an able and responsible man; and Solomon saw that he was a good worker and made him overseer of all the work given to the sons of Joseph.

bbe@1Kings:11:31 @And he said to Jeroboam, Take ten of the parts, for this is what the Lord has said: See, I will take the kingdom away from Solomon by force, and will give ten tribes to you;

bbe@1Kings:11:35 @But I will take the kingdom from his son, and give it to you.

bbe@1Kings:11:36 @And one tribe I will give to his son, so that David my servant may have a light for ever burning before me in Jerusalem, the town which I have made mine to put my name there.

bbe@1Kings:11:37 @And you I will take, and you will be king over Israel, ruling over whatever is the desire of your soul.

bbe@1Kings:11:39 @(So that I may send trouble for this on the seed of David, but not for ever.)

bbe@1Kings:11:40 @And Solomon was looking for a chance to put Jeroboam to death; but he went in flight to Egypt, to Shishak, king of Egypt, and was in Egypt till the death of Solomon.

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:11:42 @And the time Solomon was king in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.

bbe@1Kings:11:43 @And Solomon went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the town of David his father: and Solomon went to rest with his fathers and Rehoboam his son became king in his place.

bbe@1Kings:12:2 @And, hearing of it, Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who was still in Egypt, where he had gone in flight from Solomon, and was living there, came back to his town Zeredah, in the hill-country of Ephraim;

bbe@1Kings:12:5 @And he said to them, Go away for three days and then come back to me again. So the people went away.

bbe@1Kings:12:6 @Then King Rehoboam took the opinion of the old men who had been with Solomon his father when he was living, and said, In your opinion, what answer am I to give to this people?

bbe@1Kings:12:12 @So all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king had given orders, saying, Come back to me the third day.

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:12:19 @So Israel was turned away from the family of David to this day.

bbe@1Kings:12:21 @When Rehoboam came to Jerusalem, he got together all the men of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand of his best fighting-men, to make war against Israel and get the kingdom back for Rehoboam, the son of Solomon.

bbe@1Kings:12:23 @Say to Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all the men of Judah and Benjamin and the rest of the people:

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:12:28 @So after taking thought the king made two oxen of gold; and he said to the people, You have been going up to Jerusalem long enough; see! these are your gods, O Israel, who took you out of the land of Egypt.

bbe@1Kings:13:4 @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:13:9 @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:13:13 @So the prophet said to his sons, Make ready an ass for me. So they made an ass ready, and he got on it,

bbe@1Kings:13:19 @So he went back with him, and had a meal in his house and a drink of water.

bbe@1Kings:13:25 @And some men, going by, saw the body stretched out in the road with the lion by its side; and they came and gave news of it in the town where the old prophet was living.

bbe@1Kings:13:27 @And he said to his sons, Make ready the ass for me. And they did so.

bbe@1Kings:13:30 @And he put the body in the resting-place made ready for himself, weeping and sorrowing over it, saying, O my brother!

bbe@1Kings:13:31 @And when he had put it to rest, he said to his sons, When I am dead, then you are to put my body into the earth with the body of this man of God, and put me by his bones so that my bones may be kept safe with his bones.

bbe@1Kings:13:33 @After this Jeroboam, not turning back from his evil ways, still made priests for his altars from among all the people; he made a priest of anyone desiring it, so that there might be priests of the high places.

bbe@1Kings:14:1 @At that time Abijah, the son of Jeroboam, became ill.

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:14:10 @So I will send evil on the line of Jeroboam, cutting off from his family every male child, those who are shut up and those who go free in Israel; the family of Jeroboam will be brushed away like a man brushing away waste till it is all gone.

bbe@1Kings:14:13 @And all Israel will put his body to rest, weeping over him, because he only of the family of Jeroboam will be put into his resting-place in the earth; for of all the family of Jeroboam, in him only has the Lord, the God of Israel, seen some good.

bbe@1Kings:14:20 @And Jeroboam was king for twenty-two years, and was put to rest with his fathers, and Nadab his son became king in his place.

bbe@1Kings:14:21 @And Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, was king in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king, and he was king for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the town which the Lord had made his out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there; his mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonite woman.

bbe@1Kings:14:26 @And took away all the stored wealth from the house of the Lord, and from the king's house, and all the gold body-covers which Solomon had made.

bbe@1Kings:14:27 @So in their place King Rehoboam had other body-covers made of brass, and gave them into the care of the captains of the armed men who were stationed at the door of the king's house.

bbe@1Kings:14:31 @And Rehoboam went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth with his fathers in the town of David; his mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonite woman. And Abijam his son became king in his place.

bbe@1Kings:15:1 @Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, Abijam became king over Judah.

bbe@1Kings:15:4 @But because of David, the Lord gave him a light in Jerusalem, making his sons king after him, so that Jerusalem might be safe;

bbe@1Kings:15:8 @Then Abijam went to rest with his fathers, and they put him into the earth in the town of David: and Asa his son became king in his place.

bbe@1Kings:15:17 @And 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@1Kings:15:18 @Then Asa took all the silver and gold which was still stored in the Lord's house, and in the king's house, and sent them, in the care of his servants, to Ben-hadad, son of Tabrimmon, son of Rezon, king of Aram, at Damascus, saying,

bbe@1Kings:15:19 @Let there be an agreement between me and you as there was between my father and your father: see, I have sent you an offering of silver and gold; go and put an end to your agreement with Baasha, king of Israel, so that he may give up attacking me

bbe@1Kings:15:20 @So Ben-hadad did as King Asa said, and sent the captains of his armies against the towns of Israel, attacking Ijon and Dan and Abel-beth-maacah, and all Chinneroth as far as all the land of Naphtali.

bbe@1Kings:15:24 @So Asa went to rest with his fathers and was put into the earth in the town of David his father: and Jehoshaphat his son became king in his place.

bbe@1Kings:15:25 @Nadab, the son of Jeroboam, became king over Israel in the second year that Asa was king of Judah; and he was king of Israel for two years.

bbe@1Kings:15:27 @And Baasha, the son of Ahijah, of the family of Issachar, made a secret design against him, attacking him at Gibbethon, a town of the Philistines; for Nadab and the armies of Israel were making war on Gibbethon.

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:15:33 @In the third year of the rule of Asa, king of Judah, Baasha, the son of Ahijah, became king over all Israel in Tirzah, and was king for twenty-four years.

bbe@1Kings:16:1 @And the word of the Lord came to Jehu, son of Hanani, protesting against Baasha and saying,

bbe@1Kings:16:3 @Truly, I will see that Baasha and all his family are completely brushed away; I will make your family like the family of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat.

bbe@1Kings:16:6 @And Baasha went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth at Tirzah; and Elah his son became king in his place.

bbe@1Kings:16:7 @And the Lord sent his word against Baasha and his family by the mouth of the prophet Jehu, the son of Hanani, because of all the evil he did in the eyes of the Lord, moving him to wrath by the work of his hands, because he was like the family of Jeroboam, and because he put it to death.

bbe@1Kings:16:8 @In the twenty-sixth year that Asa was king of Judah, Elah, the son of Baasha, became king of Israel in Tirzah, and he was king for two years.

bbe@1Kings:16:12 @So Zimri put to death all the family of Baasha, so that the word which the Lord said against him by the mouth of Jehu the prophet came about;

bbe@1Kings:16:13 @Because of all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, which they did and made Israel do, moving the Lord, the God of Israel, to wrath by their foolish acts.

bbe@1Kings:16:16 @And news came to the people in the tents that Zimri had made a secret design and had put the king to death: so all Israel made Omri, the captain of the army, king that day in the tents.

bbe@1Kings:16:21 @Then there was a division among the people of Israel; half the people were for making Tibni, son of Ginath, king, and half were supporting Omri

bbe@1Kings:16:22 @But the supporters of Omri overcame those who were on the side of Tibni, the son of Ginath; and death came to Tibni and to his brother Joram at that time: and Omri became king in the place of Tibni.

bbe@1Kings:16:26 @Copying all the evil ways of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and all the sins he did and made Israel do, moving the Lord, the God of Israel, to wrath by their foolish ways.

bbe@1Kings:16:28 @So Omri went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in Samaria; and Ahab his son became king in his place.

bbe@1Kings:16:29 @In the thirty-eighth year that Asa was king of Judah, Ahab, the son of Omri, became king over Israel; and Ahab was king in Samaria for twenty-two years.

bbe@1Kings:16:30 @And Ahab, the son of Omri, did evil in the eyes of the Lord, even worse than all who went before him.

bbe@1Kings:16:31 @And as if copying the evil ways of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, was a small thing for him, he took as his wife Jezebel, daughter of Ethbaal, king of Zidon, and became a servant and worshipper of Baal.

bbe@1Kings:16:34 @In his days Hiel made Jericho; he put its base in position at the price of Abiram, his oldest son, and he put its doors in place at the price of his youngest son Segub; even as the Lord had said by Joshua, the son of Nun.

bbe@1Kings:17:5 @So he went and did as the Lord said, living by the stream Cherith, east of Jordan.

bbe@1Kings:17:10 @So he got up and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the door of the town, he saw a widow woman getting sticks together; and crying out to her he said, Will you give me a little water in a vessel for my drink?

bbe@1Kings:17:12 @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:17:15 @So she went and did as Elijah said; and she and he and her family had food for a long time.

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:17:18 @And she said to Elijah, What have I to do with you, O man of God? have you come to put God in mind of my sin, and to put my son to death?

bbe@1Kings:17:19 @And he said to her, Give your son to me. And lifting him out of her arms, he took him up to his room and put him down on his bed.

bbe@1Kings:17:20 @And crying to the Lord he said, O Lord my God, have you sent evil even on the widow whose guest I am, by causing her son's death?

bbe@1Kings:17:23 @And Elijah took the child down from his room into the house and gave him to his mother and said to her, See, your son is living

bbe@1Kings:18:1 @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:18:5 @And Ahab said to Obadiah, Come, let us go through all the country, to all the fountains of water and all the rivers, and see if there is any grass to be had for the horses and the transport beasts, so that we may be able to keep some of the beasts from destruction.

bbe@1Kings:18:6 @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:18:12 @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:18:16 @So Obadiah went to Ahab and gave him the news; and Ahab went to see Elijah.

bbe@1Kings:18:20 @So Ahab sent for all the children of Israel, and got the prophets together at Mount Carmel.

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:18:27 @And in the middle of the day, Elijah made sport of them, saying, Give louder cries, for he is a god; he may be deep in thought, or he may have gone away for some purpose, or he may be on a journey, or by chance he is sleeping and has to be made awake.

bbe@1Kings:18:28 @So they gave loud cries, cutting themselves with knives and swords, as was their way, till the blood came streaming out all over them.

bbe@1Kings:18:31 @And Elijah took twelve stones, the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the Lord had said, Israel will be your name:

bbe@1Kings:18:37 @Give me an answer, O Lord, give me an answer, so that this people may see that you are God, and that you have made their hearts come back again.

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:18:41 @Then Elijah said to Ahab, Up! take food and drink, for there is a sound of much rain.

bbe@1Kings:18:42 @So Ahab went up to have food and drink, while Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he went down on the earth, putting his face between his knees.

bbe@1Kings:19:5 @And stretching himself on the earth, he went to sleep under the broom-plant; but an angel, touching him, said to him, Get up and have some food.

bbe@1Kings:19:6 @And looking up, he saw by his head a cake cooked on the stones and a bottle of water. So he took food and drink and went to sleep again.

bbe@1Kings:19:7 @And the angel of the Lord came again a second time, and touching him said, Get up and have some food, or the journey will be overmuch for your strength.

bbe@1Kings:19:8 @So he got up and took food and drink, and in the strength of that food he went on for forty days and nights, to Horeb, the mountain of God.

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:19:16 @And on Jehu, son of Nimshi, making him king over Israel; and on Elisha, the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah, to be prophet in your place.

bbe@1Kings:19:19 @So he went away from there and came across Elisha, the son of Shaphat, ploughing with twelve yoke of oxen, he himself walking with the twelfth; and Elijah went up to him and put his robe on him.

bbe@1Kings: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:20:19 @So the servants of the chiefs of the divisions of the land went out of the town, with the army coming after them.

bbe@1Kings:20:25 @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:20:26 @So, a year later, Ben-hadad got the Aramaeans together and went up to Aphek to make war on Israel.

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:20:34 @And Ben-hadad said to him, The towns my father took from your father I will give back; and you may make streets for yourself in Damascus as my father did in Samaria. And as for me, at the price of this agreement you will let me go. So he made an agreement with him and let him go.

bbe@1Kings:20:35 @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:20:38 @So the prophet went away, and pulling his head-band over his eyes to keep his face covered, took his place by the road waiting for the king.

bbe@1Kings:21:2 @And Ahab said to Naboth, Give me your vine-garden so that I may have it for a garden of sweet plants, for it is near my house; and let me give you a better vine-garden in exchange, or, if it seems good to you, let me give you its value in money.

bbe@1Kings:21:4 @So Ahab came into his house bitter and angry because Naboth the Jezreelite had said to him, I will not give you the heritage of my fathers. And stretching himself on the bed with his face turned away, he would take no food.

bbe@1Kings:21:5 @But Jezebel, his wife, came to him and said, Why is your spirit so bitter that you have no desire for food?

bbe@1Kings:21:8 @So she sent a letter in Ahab's name, stamped with his stamp, to the responsible men and the chiefs who were in authority with Naboth.

bbe@1Kings:21:9 @And in the letter she said, Let a time of public sorrow be fixed, and put Naboth at the head of the people;

bbe@1Kings:21:10 @And get two good-for-nothing persons to come before him and give witness that he has been cursing God and the king. Then take him out and have him stoned to death.

bbe@1Kings:21:11 @So the responsible men and the chiefs who were in authority in his town, did as Jezebel had said in the letter she sent them.

bbe@1Kings:21:12 @They gave orders for a day of public sorrow, and put Naboth at the head of the people.

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:21:16 @So Ahab, hearing that Naboth was dead, went down to the vine-garden of Naboth the Jezreelite to take it as his heritage.

bbe@1Kings:21:22 @And I will make your family like the family of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and like the family of Baasha, the son of Ahijah, because you have made me angry, and have made Israel do evil.

bbe@1Kings:21:29 @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:22:6 @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:22:8 @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:22:9 @Then the king of Israel sent for one of his unsexed servants and said, Go quickly and come back with Micaiah, the son of Imlah.

bbe@1Kings:22:11 @And Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, made himself horns of iron and said, The Lord says, Pushing back the Aramaeans with these, you will put an end to them completely.

bbe@1Kings:22:13 @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:22:22 @And the Lord said, How? And he said, I will go out and be a spirit of deceit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Your trick will have its effect on him: go out and do so.

bbe@1Kings:22:24 @Then Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, came near and gave Micaiah a blow on the side of the face, saying, Where is the spirit of the Lord whose word is in you?

bbe@1Kings:22:26 @And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah and send him back to Amon, the ruler of the town, and to Joash, the king's son;

bbe@1Kings:22:27 @And say, It is the king's order that this man is to be put in prison and given prison food till I come again in peace.

bbe@1Kings:22:29 @So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, went up to Ramoth-gilead.

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:22:32 @So when the captains of the war-carriages saw Jehoshaphat, they said, Truly, this is the king of Israel; and turning against him, they came round him, but Jehoshaphat gave a cry.

bbe@1Kings:22:34 @And a certain man sent an arrow from his bow without thought of its direction, and gave the king of Israel a wound where his breastplate was joined to his clothing; so he said to the driver of his war-carriage, Go to one side and take me away out of the army, for I am badly wounded.

bbe@1Kings:22:40 @So Ahab was put to rest with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son became king in his place.

bbe@1Kings:22:41 @And Jehoshaphat, the son of Asa, became king over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab's rule over Israel.

bbe@1Kings:22:50 @Then Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, said to Jehoshaphat, Let my men go with yours in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not let them.

bbe@1Kings:22:51 @Then Jehoshaphat went to rest with his fathers, and his body was put into the earth in the town of David his father; and Jehoram his son became king in his place.

bbe@1Kings:22:52 @Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, became king over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of the rule of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, and he was king over Israel for two years.

bbe@1Kings:22:53 @He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, going in the ways of his father and his mother, and in the ways of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who made Israel do evil.

bbe@2Kings:1:6 @And they said to him, On our way we had a meeting with a man who said, Go back to the king who sent you and say to him, The Lord says, Is it because there is no God in Israel that you send to put a question to Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? For this reason, you will not come down from the bed on to which you have gone up, but death will certainly come to you.

bbe@2Kings:1:7 @And he said to them, What sort of a man was it who came and said these words to you?

bbe@2Kings:1:15 @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:1:16 @And he said to him, This is the word of the Lord: Because you sent men to put a question to Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, for this reason you will never again get down from the bed on to which you have gone up, but death will certainly come to you.

bbe@2Kings:1:17 @So death came to him, as the Lord had said by the mouth of Elijah. And Jehoram became king in his place in the second year of the rule of Jehoram, son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah; because he had no son.

bbe@2Kings:2:2 @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:2:7 @And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went out and took their places facing them a long way off, while the two of them were by the edge of Jordan.

bbe@2Kings:2:8 @Then Elijah took off his robe, and, rolling it up, gave the water a blow with it, and the waters were parted, flowing back this way and that, so that they went over on dry land.

bbe@2Kings:2:10 @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:2:15 @And when the sons of the prophets who were facing him at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah is resting on Elisha. And they came out to him, and went down on the earth before him.

bbe@2Kings:2:16 @And they said, Your servants have with us here fifty strong men; be pleased to let them go in search of Elijah; for it may be that the spirit of the Lord has taken him up and put him down on some mountain or in some valley. But he said, Do not send them.

bbe@2Kings:2:17 @But when they kept on requesting him, he was shamed and said, Send, then. So they sent fifty men; but after searching for three days, they came back without having seen him.

bbe@2Kings:2:20 @So he said, Get me a new vessel, and put salt in it; and they took it to him.

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:3:1 @And Jehoram, the son of Ahab, became king over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of the rule of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah; and he was king for twelve years.

bbe@2Kings:3:3 @But still he did the same sins which Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, did and made Israel do; he went on in them.

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:3:12 @And Jehoshaphat said, The word of the Lord is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.

bbe@2Kings:3:24 @But when they came to the tents of Israel, the Israelites came out and made a violent attack on the Moabites, so that they went in flight before them; and they went forward still attacking them;

bbe@2Kings:3:26 @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:3:27 @Then he took his oldest son, who would have been king after him, offering him as a burned offering on the wall. So there was great wrath against Israel; and they went away from him, back to their country.

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:4:4 @Then go in, and, shutting the door on yourself and your sons, put oil into all these vessels, putting on one side the full ones.

bbe@2Kings:4:5 @So she went away, and when the door was shut on her and her sons, they took the vessels to her and she put oil into them.

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:4:7 @So she came to the man of God and gave him word of what she had done. And he said, Go and get money for the oil and make payment of your debt, and let the rest be for the needs of yourself and your sons.

bbe@2Kings:4:10 @So let us make a little room on the wall; and put a bed there for him, and a table and a seat and a light; so that when he comes to us, he will be able to go in there

bbe@2Kings:4:12 @And he said to Gehazi, his servant, Send for this Shunammite. So in answer to his voice she came before him.

bbe@2Kings:4:14 @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:4:17 @Then the woman became with child and gave birth to a son at the time named, in the year after, as Elisha had said to her.

bbe@2Kings:4:22 @And she said to her husband, Send me one of the servants and one of the asses so that I may go quickly to the man of God and come back again.

bbe@2Kings:4:25 @So she went, and came to Mount Carmel, to the man of God. And when the man of God saw her coming in his direction, he said to Gehazi, his servant, See, there is the Shunammite;

bbe@2Kings:4:27 @And when she came to where the man of God was on the hill, she put her hands round his feet; and Gehazi came near with the purpose of pushing her away; but the man of God said, Let her be, for her soul is bitter in her; and the Lord has kept it secret from me, and has not given me word of it.

bbe@2Kings:4:28 @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:4:30 @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:4:33 @So he went in, and shutting the door on the two of them, made prayer to the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:4:36 @And he gave orders to Gehazi, and said, Send for the Shunammite. And she came in answer to his voice. And he said, Take up your son.

bbe@2Kings:4:37 @And she came in, and went down on her face to the earth at his feet; then she took her son in her arms and went out.

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:4:43 @But his servant said, How am I to put this before a hundred men? But he said, Give it to the people for food; for the Lord says, There will be food for them and some over.

bbe@2Kings:4:44 @So he put it before them, and they had a meal and there was more than enough, as the Lord had said.

bbe@2Kings:5:2 @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:5:4 @And someone went and said to his lord, This is what the girl from the land of Israel says.

bbe@2Kings:5:5 @So the king of Aram said, Go then; and I will send a letter to the king of Israel. And he went, taking with him ten talents of silver and six thousand shekels of gold, and ten changes of clothing.

bbe@2Kings:5:8 @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:5:9 @So Naaman, with all his horses and his carriages, came to the door of Elisha's house.

bbe@2Kings:5:11 @But Naaman was angry and went away and said, I had the idea that he would come out to see such an important person as I am, and make prayer to the Lord his God, and with a wave of his hand over the place make the leper well.

bbe@2Kings:5:12 @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:5:19 @And he said to him, Go in peace. And he went from him some distance.

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:5:21 @So Gehazi went after Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running after him, he got down from his carriage and went back to him and said, Is all well?

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:6:1 @Now the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, There is not room enough for us in the place where we are living under your care;

bbe@2Kings:6:2 @So let us go to Jordan, and let everyone get to work cutting boards, and we will make a living-place for ourselves there. And he said to them, Go, then.

bbe@2Kings:6:4 @So he went with them. And when they came to Jordan, they got to work cutting down trees.

bbe@2Kings:6:7 @Then he said, Take it up. So he put out his hand and took it.

bbe@2Kings:6:8 @At that time the king of Aram was making war against Israel; and he had a meeting with the chiefs of his army and said, I will be waiting in secret in some named place.

bbe@2Kings:6:10 @So the king of Israel sent to the place where the man of God had said there was danger, and kept clear of it more than once.

bbe@2Kings:6:13 @Then he said, Go and see where he is, so that I may send and get him. And news came to him that he was in Dothan.

bbe@2Kings:6:14 @So he sent there horses and carriages and a great army; and they came by night, circling the town

bbe@2Kings:6:17 @Then Elisha made a prayer to the Lord, saying, Lord, let his eyes be open so that he may see. And the Lord made the young man's eyes open; and he saw that all the mountain was full of horses and carriages of fire round Elisha.

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:6:20 @And when they had come into Samaria, Elisha said, Lord, let the eyes of these men be open so that they may see. And the Lord made their eyes open, and they saw that they were in the middle of 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:6:28 @And the king said to her, What is troubling you? And she said in answer, This woman said to me, Give your son to be our food today, and we will have my son tomorrow.

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:6:31 @Then he said, May God's punishment come on me if Elisha, the son of Shaphat, keeps his head on his body after this day.

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:7:7 @So they got up and went in flight, in the half light, without their tents or their horses or their asses or any of their goods; they went in flight, fearing for their lives.

bbe@2Kings:7:9 @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:7:14 @So they took two horsemen; and the king sent them after the army of the Aramaeans, saying, Go and see.

bbe@2Kings:7:15 @And they went after them as far as Jordan; and all the road was covered with clothing and vessels dropped by the Aramaeans in their flight. So those who were sent went back and gave the news to the king.

bbe@2Kings:7:18 @So the words of the man of God came true, which he said to the king: Two measures of barley will be offered for the price of a shekel and a measure of good meal for a shekel, tomorrow about this time in the market-place of Samaria.

bbe@2Kings:8:1 @Now Elisha had said to the woman whose son he had given back to life, Go now, with all the people of your house, and get a living-place for yourselves wherever you are able; for by the word of the Lord, there will be great need of food in the land; and this will go on for seven years.

bbe@2Kings:8:2 @So the woman got up and did as the man of God said; and she and the people of her house were living in the land of the Philistines for seven years.

bbe@2Kings:8:5 @And while he was giving the king the story of how Elisha had given life to the dead, the woman whose son had come back to life came to the king with a request for her house and her land. And Gehazi said, My lord king, this is the woman and this is her son, whose life Elisha gave back to him.

bbe@2Kings:8:6 @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:8:9 @So Hazael went to see him, taking with him forty camels with offerings on their backs of every sort of good thing from Damascus; and when he came before him, he said, Your son Ben-hadad, king of Aram, has sent me to you, saying, Will I get better from this disease?

bbe@2Kings:8:16 @In the fifth year of Joram, the son of Ahab, king of Israel, Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, became king.

bbe@2Kings:8:22 @So Edom made themselves free from the rule of Judah to this day. And at the same time, Libnah made itself free.

bbe@2Kings:8:24 @And Joram went to rest with his fathers and was put into the earth with his fathers in the town of David: and Ahaziah his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Kings:8:25 @In the twelfth year that Joram, the son of Ahab, was king of Israel, Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, became king;

bbe@2Kings:8:27 @He went in the ways of the family of Ahab, and did evil in the eyes of the Lord as the family of Ahab did, for he was a son-in-law of the family of Ahab.

bbe@2Kings:8:28 @He went with Joram, the son of Ahab, to make war on Hazael, king of Aram, at Ramoth-gilead: and Joram was wounded by the Aramaeans.

bbe@2Kings:8:29 @So King Joram went back to Jezreel to get well from the wounds which the bowmen had given him at Ramah, when he was fighting against Hazael, king of Aram. And Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Joram, the son of Ahab, in Jezreel, because he was ill.

bbe@2Kings:9:1 @And Elisha the prophet sent for one of the sons of the prophets, and said to him, Make yourself ready for a journey, and take this bottle of oil in your hand, and go to Ramoth-gilead.

bbe@2Kings:9:2 @And when you get there, go in search of Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi; and go in and make him get up from among his brothers, and take him to an inner room.

bbe@2Kings:9:4 @So the young prophet went to Ramoth-gilead.

bbe@2Kings:9:5 @And when he came, he saw the captains of the army seated together; and he said, I have something to say to you, O captain. And Jehu said, To which of us? And he said, To you, O captain.

bbe@2Kings:9:7 @You are to see that the family of Ahab your master is cut off, so that I may take from Jezebel payment for the blood of my servants the prophets, and for the blood of all the servants of the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:9:9 @I will make the family of Ahab like that of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and Baasha, the son of Ahijah.

bbe@2Kings:9:13 @Then straight away everyone took his robe and put it under him on the top of the steps, and, sounding the horn, they said, Jehu is king.

bbe@2Kings:9:14 @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:9:16 @So Jehu got into his carriage and went to Jezreel, for Joram was ill in bed there; and Ahaziah, king of Judah, had come down to see Joram.

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:9:21 @Then Joram said, Make ready. So they made his carriage ready; and Joram, king of Israel, with Ahaziah, king of Judah, went out in their carriages for the purpose of meeting Jehu; and they came face to face with him at the field of Naboth the Jezreelite.

bbe@2Kings:9:26 @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:9:29 @(In the eleventh year of the rule of Joram, the son of Ahab, Ahaziah became king over Judah.)

bbe@2Kings:9:33 @And he said, Take her and put her out of the window. So they sent her down with force, and her blood went in a shower on the wall and on the horses; and she was crushed under their feet.

bbe@2Kings:9:36 @So they came back and gave him word of it. And he said, This is what the Lord said by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the heritage of Jezreel the flesh of Jezebel will become food for dogs;

bbe@2Kings:9:37 @And the dead body of Jezebel will be like waste dropped on the face of the earth in the heritage of Jezreel; so that they will not be able to say, This is Jezebel.

bbe@2Kings:10:1 @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:10:2 @Straight away, when you get this letter, seeing that your master's sons are with you, and that you have carriages and horses and a walled town and arms;

bbe@2Kings:10:3 @Take the best and most upright of your master's sons, and make him king in his father's place, and put up a fight for your master's family.

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:10:7 @And when the letter came to them, they took the king's sons and put them to death, all the seventy, and put their heads in baskets and sent them to him at Jezreel.

bbe@2Kings:10:8 @And a man came and said to him, They have come with the heads of the king's sons. And he said, Put them down in two masses at the doorway of the town till the morning.

bbe@2Kings:10:11 @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:10:14 @And he said, Take them living. So they took them living, and put them to death in the water-hole of Beth-eked; of the forty-two men he put every one to death;

bbe@2Kings:10:15 @And when he had gone away from there, he came across Jehonadab, the son of Rechab: and he said good-day to him, and said to him, Is your heart true to mine, as mine is to yours? And Jehonadab in answer said, It is; and Jehu said, If it is, give me your hand. And he gave him his hand, and he made him come up into his carriage.

bbe@2Kings:10:16 @And he said, Come with me and see how I am on fire for the Lord's cause. So he made him go with him in his carriage.

bbe@2Kings:10:20 @And Jehu said, Let there be a special holy meeting for the worship of Baal. So a public statement was made.

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:10:22 @And Jehu said to him who kept the robes, Get out robes for all the servants of Baal. So he got out robes for them.

bbe@2Kings:10:23 @And Jehu, with Jehonadab, the son of Rechab, went into the house of Baal; and he said to the servants of Baal, Make a search with care, to see that no servant of the Lord is with you, but only servants of Baal.

bbe@2Kings:10:25 @Then when the burned offering was ended, straight away Jehu said to the armed men and the captains, Go in and put them to death; let not one come out. So they put them to the sword; and, pulling the images to the earth, they went into the holy place of the house of Baal.

bbe@2Kings:10:28 @So Jehu put an end to the worship of Baal in Israel.

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:10:30 @And the Lord said to Jehu, Because you have done well in doing what is right in my eyes and effecting all my purpose for the family of Ahab, your sons will be kings of Israel to the fourth generation.

bbe@2Kings:10:35 @And Jehu went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Kings:11:1 @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:11:4 @Then in the seventh year, Jehoiada sent for the captains of hundreds of the Carians, and the armed men, and taking them into the house of the Lord, made an agreement with them, and made them take an oath in the house of the Lord, and let them see the king's son.

bbe@2Kings:11:12 @Then he made the king's son come out, and put the crown on him and the arm-bands, and made him king, and put the holy oil on him; and they all, making sounds of joy with their hands, said, Long life to the king.

bbe@2Kings:11:14 @And looking, she saw the king in his regular place by the pillar, and the captains and the horns near him; and all the people of the land giving signs of joy and sounding the horns. Then Athaliah, violently parting her robes, gave a cry, saying, Broken faith, broken faith!

bbe@2Kings:11:16 @So they put their hands on her, and she went to the king's house by the doorway of the horses, and there she was put to death.

bbe@2Kings:11:20 @So all the people of the land were glad, and the town was quiet; and they had put Athaliah to death with the sword at the king's house.

bbe@2Kings:12:8 @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:12:13 @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:15:27 @In the fifty-second year of Azariah, king of Judah, Pekah, the son of Remaliah, became king over Israel in Samaria, ruling for twenty years.

bbe@2Kings:15:28 @He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, not turning from the sin which Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, did and made Israel do.

bbe@2Kings:15:30 @And Hoshea, the son of Elah, made a secret design against Pekah, the son of Remaliah, and, attacking him, put him to death and became king in his place, in the twentieth year of Jotham, the son of Uzziah.

bbe@2Kings:15:32 @In the second year of Pekah, the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, Jotham, the son of Uzziah, became king of Judah.

bbe@2Kings:15:37 @In those days the Lord first sent against Judah, Rezin, the king of Aram, and Pekah, the son of Remaliah.

bbe@2Kings:15:38 @And Jotham went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the town of David his father; and Ahaz his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Kings:16:1 @In the seventeenth year of Pekah, the son of Remaliah, Ahaz, the son of Jotham, became king of Judah.

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

bbe@2Kings:16:5 @Then Rezin, king of Aram, and Pekah, son of Remaliah, king of Israel, came up to Jerusalem to make war; and they made an attack on Ahaz, shutting him in, but were not able to overcome him.

bbe@2Kings:16:7 @So Ahaz sent representatives to Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria, saying, I am your servant and your son; come to my help against the kings of Aram and Israel who have taken up arms against me.

bbe@2Kings:16:9 @And the king of Assyria, in answer to his request, went up against Damascus and took it, and took its people away as prisoners to Kir, and put Rezin to death.

bbe@2Kings:16:16 @So Urijah the priest did everything as the king said

bbe@2Kings:16:20 @And Ahaz went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth with his fathers in the town of David; and Hezekiah his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Kings:17:1 @In the twelfth year of Ahaz, king of Judah, Hoshea, the son of Elah, became king over Israel in Samaria, ruling for nine years.

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:17:17 @And they made their sons and their daughters go through the fire, and they made use of secret arts and unnatural powers, and gave themselves up to doing evil in the eyes of the Lord, till he was moved to wrath.

bbe@2Kings:17:18 @So the Lord was very angry with Israel, and his face was turned away from them: only the tribe of Judah kept its place.

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:17:21 @For Israel was broken off from the family of David, and they made Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, king, who, driving them away from the laws of the Lord, made them do a great sin.

bbe@2Kings:17:24 @Then the king of Assyria took men from Babylon and from Cuthah and Avva and Hamath and Sepharvaim, and put them in the towns of Samaria in place of the children of Israel; so they got Samaria for their heritage, living in its towns.

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:17:28 @So one of the priests whom they had taken away as a prisoner from Samaria came back, and, living in Beth-el, became their teacher in the worship of the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:17:32 @So they went on worshipping the Lord, and made for themselves, from among all the people, priests for the high places, to make offerings for them in the houses of the high places.

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

bbe@2Kings:18:1 @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:18:9 @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:18:11 @And the king of Assyria took Israel away as prisoners into Assyria, placing them in Halah and in Habor on the river Gozan, and in the towns of the Medes;

bbe@2Kings:18:15 @So Hezekiah gave him all the silver in the house of the Lord, and in the king's store-house.

bbe@2Kings:18:18 @And they sent for the king, and Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, who was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, came out to them.

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:18:26 @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:18:32 @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:18:37 @Then Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, who was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, came to Hezekiah, with their clothing parted as a sign of grief, and gave him an account of what the Rab-shakeh had said.

bbe@2Kings:19:2 @And he sent Eliakim, who was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and the chief priests, dressed in haircloth, to Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz.

bbe@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:19:5 @So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.

bbe@2Kings:19:8 @So the Rab-shakeh went back, and when he got there the king of Assyria was making war against Libnah, for it had come to his ears that he had gone away from Lachish.

bbe@2Kings:19:18 @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:19:20 @Then Isaiah, the son of Amoz, sent to Hezekiah, saying, The Lord, the God of Israel, says, The prayer which you have made to me against Sennacherib, king of Assyria, has come to my ears.

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:19:36 @So Sennacherib, king of Assyria, went back to his place at Nineveh.

bbe@2Kings:19:37 @And it came about, when he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer put him to death with the sword; and they went in flight into the land of Ararat. And Esar-haddon his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Kings:20:1 @In those days Hezekiah was ill and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him, and said to him, The Lord says, Put your house in order, for your death is near.

bbe@2Kings:20:7 @Then Isaiah said, Take a cake of figs. So they took it and put it on his wound, and he got better.

bbe@2Kings:20:12 @At that time, Merodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters with an offering to Hezekiah, because he had news that Hezekiah had been ill

bbe@2Kings:20:18 @And your sons, the offspring of your body, they will take away to be unsexed servants in the house of the king of Babylon.

bbe@2Kings:20:21 @And Hezekiah went to rest with his fathers; and Manasseh his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Kings:21:6 @And he made his son go through the fire, and made use of secret arts and signs for reading the future; he gave positions to those who had control of spirits and to wonder-workers; he did much evil in the eyes of the Lord, moving him to wrath.

bbe@2Kings:21:7 @He put the image of Asherah which he had made in the house of which the Lord had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, the town which I have made mine out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name for ever.

bbe@2Kings:21:18 @So Manasseh went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the garden of his house, in the garden of Uzza; and Amon his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Kings:21:24 @But the people of the land put to death all those who had taken part in the design against the king, and made Josiah his son king in his place.

bbe@2Kings:21:26 @He was put in his last resting-place in the garden of Uzza, and Josiah his son became king in his place.

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:22:8 @Then Hilkiah, the chief priest, said to Shaphan the scribe, I have made discovery of the book of the law in the house of the Lord. So Hilkiah gave it to Shaphan;

bbe@2Kings:22:12 @And he gave orders to Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and Achbor, the son of Micaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king's servant, saying,

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:22:19 @Because your heart was soft, and you made yourself low before me, when you had word of what I said against this place and its people, that they would become a waste and a curse, and you gave signs of grief, weeping before me: truly, I have given ear to you, says the Lord.

bbe@2Kings: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:23:3 @And the king took his place by the pillar, and made an agreement before the Lord, to go in the way of the Lord, and keep his orders and his decisions and his rules with all his heart and all his soul, and to keep the words of the agreement recorded in the book; and all the people gave their word to keep the agreement.

bbe@2Kings:23:10 @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:23:13 @And the high places before Jerusalem, on the south side of the mountain of destruction, which Solomon, king of Israel, had made for Ashtoreth, the disgusting god of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh, the disgusting god of Moab, and for Milcom, the disgusting god of the children of Ammon, the king made unclean.

bbe@2Kings:23:15 @And the altar at Beth-el, and the high place put up by Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who made Israel do evil, that altar and that high place were pulled down; and the high place was burned and crushed to dust and the Asherah was burned.

bbe@2Kings:23:16 @Then Josiah, turning round, saw on the mountain the places of the dead, and he sent and had the bones taken out of their places and burned on the altar, so making it unclean, as the Lord had said by the man of God when Jeroboam was in his place by the altar on that feast-day. And he, turning his eyes to the resting-place of the man of God who had given word of these things, said:

bbe@2Kings:23:18 @So he said, Let him be; let not his bones be moved

bbe@2Kings:23:21 @And the king gave orders to all the people, saying, Keep the Passover to the Lord your God, as it says in this book of the law.

bbe@2Kings:23:22 @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:23:23 @In the eighteenth year of the rule of King Josiah this Passover was kept to the Lord in Jerusalem.

bbe@2Kings:23:24 @And all those who had control of spirits, and the wonder-workers, and the images, and the false gods, and all the disgusting things which were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, Josiah put away, so that he might give effect to the words of the agreement recorded in the book which Hilkiah the priest made discovery of in the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:23:25 @Never before had there been a king like him, turning to the Lord with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his power, as the law of Moses says; and after him there was no king like him.

bbe@2Kings:23:30 @And his servants took his body in a carriage from Megiddo to Jerusalem, and put him into the earth there. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz, the son of Josiah, and put the holy oil on him and made him king in place of his father.

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:23:34 @Then Pharaoh-necoh made Eliakim, the son of Josiah, king in place of Josiah his father, changing his name to Jehoiakim; but Jehoahaz he took away to Egypt, where he was till his death.

bbe@2Kings:24:6 @So Jehoiakim went to rest with his fathers; and Jehoiachin his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Kings:24:13 @And he took away all the stored wealth of the Lord's house, and the goods from the king's store-house, cutting up all the gold vessels which Solomon, king of Israel, had made in the house of the Lord, as the Lord had said.

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:24:15 @He took Jehoiachin a prisoner to Babylon, with his mother and his wives and his unsexed servants and the great men of the land; he took them all as prisoners from Jerusalem to Babylon.

bbe@2Kings:24:16 @And all the men of war, seven thousand of them, and a thousand expert workmen and metal-workers, all of them strong and able to take up arms, the king of Babylon took away as prisoners into Babylon.

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:25:6 @And they made the king a prisoner and took him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah to be judged.

bbe@2Kings:25:7 @And they put the sons of Zedekiah to death before his eyes, and then they put out his eyes, and chaining him with iron bands, took him to Babylon.

bbe@2Kings:25:11 @And the rest of the people who were still in the town, and all those who had given themselves up to the king of Babylon, and all the rest of the workmen, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, took away as prisoners;

bbe@2Kings:25:14 @And the pots and the spades and the scissors for the lights and the spoons, and all the brass vessels used in the Lord's house, they took away.

bbe@2Kings:25:16 @The two pillars, the great water-vessel and the wheeled bases, which Solomon had made for the house of the Lord: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.

bbe@2Kings:25:21 @And the king of Babylon put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was taken away prisoner from his land.

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:25:25 @But in the seventh month, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the king's seed, came with ten men and made an attack on Gedaliah, causing his death and the death of the Jews and the Chaldaeans who were with him at Mizpah.

bbe@2Kings:25:27 @And in the thirty-seventh year after Jehoiachin, king of Judah, had been taken prisoner, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, Evil-merodach, king of Babylon, in the first year of his rule, took Jehoiachin, king of Judah, out of prison;

bbe@1Chronicles:10:8 @Now the day after, when the Philistines came to take their goods from the dead, they saw Saul and his sons dead in Mount Gilboa.

bbe@1Chronicles:10:12 @All the fighting-men came up and took away Saul's body and the bodies of his sons, and took them to Jabesh, and put their bones to rest under the oak-tree in Jabesh, and took no food for seven days.

bbe@1Chronicles:10:13 @So death came to Saul because of the sin which he did against the Lord, that is, because of the word of the Lord which he kept not; and because he went for directions to one who had an evil spirit,

bbe@1Chronicles:10:14 @And not to the Lord: for this reason, he put him to death and gave the kingdom to David, the son of Jesse.

bbe@1Chronicles:11:3 @So all the responsible men of Israel came to the king at Hebron; and David made an agreement with them in Hebron before the Lord; and they put the holy oil on David and made him king over Israel, as the Lord had said by Samuel.

bbe@1Chronicles:11:6 @And David said, The first to overcome the Jebusites will be chief and captain. And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, went up first, and became chief.

bbe@1Chronicles:11:7 @And David took the strong tower for his living-place, so it was named the town of David.

bbe@1Chronicles:11:11 @This is the list of David's men of war: Ishbaal, the son of a Hachmonite, the chief of the three: he put to death three hundred at one time with his spear

bbe@1Chronicles:11:12 @And after him was Eleazar, the son of Dodo the Ahohite, who was one of the three great fighters.

bbe@1Chronicles:11:17 @And David, moved by a strong desire, said, If only someone would give me a drink of the water from the water-hole of Beth-lehem by the doorway into the town!

bbe@1Chronicles:11:18 @So the three, forcing a way through the Philistine army, got water from the water-hole of Beth-lehem, by the doorway into the town, and took it back to David; but David would not take it, but made an offering of it, draining it out to the Lord,

bbe@1Chronicles:11:19 @Saying, By my God, far be it from me to do this! How may I take as drink the life-blood of these men who have put their lives in danger? so he did not take it. These things did the three great men of war.

bbe@1Chronicles:11:22 @Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, a fighting-man of Kabzeel, had done great acts; he put to death two young lions going into their secret place; and he went down into a hole and put a lion to death in time of snow.

bbe@1Chronicles:11:24 @These were the acts of Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, who had a great name among the thirty men of war.

bbe@1Chronicles:11:26 @And these were the great men of war: Asahel, the brother of Joab, Elhanan, the son of Dodo of Beth-lehem,

bbe@1Chronicles:11:28 @Ira, the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite, Abiezer the Anathothite,

bbe@1Chronicles:11:30 @Maharai the Netophathite, Heled, the son of Baanah the Netophathite,

bbe@1Chronicles:11:31 @Ithai, the son of Ribai of Gibeah, of the children of Benjamin, Benaiah the Pirathonite,

bbe@1Chronicles:11:34 @The sons of Hashem the Gizonite, Jonathan, the son of Shage the Hararite,

bbe@1Chronicles:11:35 @Ahiam, the son of Sacar the Hararite, Eliphal, the son of Ur,

bbe@1Chronicles:11:38 @Joel, the brother of Nathan, Mibhar, the son of Hagri,

bbe@1Chronicles:11:39 @Zelek the Ammonite, and Naharai the Berothite, the servant who had the care of the arms of Joab, the son of Zeruiah;

bbe@1Chronicles:11:41 @Uriah the Hittite, Zabad, the son of Ahlai,

bbe@1Chronicles:11:42 @Adina, the son of Shiza the Reubenite, a chief of the Reubenites, and thirty with him;

bbe@1Chronicles:11:46 @Eliel the Mahavite, and Jeribai and Joshaviah, the sons of Elnaam, and Ithmah the Moabite,

bbe@1Chronicles:12:1 @Now these are the men who came to David at Ziklag, while he was still shut up, because of Saul, the son of Kish; they were among the strong men, his helpers in war.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:3 @Ahiezer was their chief, then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; and Jeziel and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; and Beracah and Jehu the Anathothite;

bbe@1Chronicles:12:7 @And Joelah and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:8 @And some of the Gadites, siding with David, went to his strong place in the waste land, great and strong men, trained for war, expert in the use of arms, whose faces were like the faces of lions, and they were quick-footed like roes on the mountains;

bbe@1Chronicles:12:16 @And some of the children of Benjamin and Judah came to David in his strong place.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:18 @Then the spirit came on Amasai, who was chief of the captains, and he said, We are yours, David, we are on your side, O son of Jesse: may peace be with you and peace be with your helpers; for God is your helper. Then David took them into his army and made them captains of the band.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:19 @And some of the men of Manasseh came over to David, when he went with the Philistines to the war against Saul, but he gave them no help: for the lords of the Philistines, after discussion, sent him away, saying, He will go back to his master Saul, at the price of our lives.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:33 @Of Zebulun, there were fifty thousand men, who went out with the army, expert in ordering the fight, to give help with all sorts of arms; true-hearted men.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:37 @From the other side of Jordan, there were a hundred and twenty thousand of the Reubenites and the Gadites and the men of the half-tribe of Manasseh, armed with every sort of instrument of war.

bbe@1Chronicles:13:4 @And all the people said they would do so, for it seemed right to them.

bbe@1Chronicles:13:5 @So David sent for all Israel to come together, from Shihor, the river of Egypt, as far as the way into Hamath, to get the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.

bbe@1Chronicles:13:8 @Then David and all Israel made melody before God with all their strength, with songs and corded instruments of music, and with brass instruments and horns.

bbe@1Chronicles:13:12 @And so great was David's fear of God that day, that he said, How may I let the ark of God come to me?

bbe@1Chronicles:13:13 @So David did not let the ark come back to him to the town of David, but had it turned away and put into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

bbe@1Chronicles:14:3 @And while he was living in Jerusalem, David took more wives and became the father of more sons and daughters.

bbe@1Chronicles:14:4 @These are the names of the children he had in Jerusalem: Shammua and Shobab, Nathan and Solomon

bbe@1Chronicles:14:11 @So they went up to Baal-perazim, and David overcame them there, and David said, God has let the forces fighting against me be broken by my hand, as a wall is broken down by rushing water; so they gave that place the name of Baal-perazim.

bbe@1Chronicles:14:15 @And at the sound of footsteps in the tops of the trees, go out to the fight, for God has gone out before you to overcome the army of the Philistines.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:4 @And David got together the sons of Aaron, and the Levites;

bbe@1Chronicles:15:5 @Of the sons of Kohath: Uriel the chief, and his brothers, a hundred and twenty;

bbe@1Chronicles:15:6 @Of the sons of Merari: Asaiah the chief, and his brothers, two hundred and twenty;

bbe@1Chronicles:15:7 @Of the sons of Gershom: Joel the chief, and his brothers, a hundred and thirty;

bbe@1Chronicles:15:8 @Of the sons of Elizaphan: Shemaiah the chief, and his brothers, two hundred;

bbe@1Chronicles:15:9 @Of the sons of Hebron: Eliel the chief, and his brothers, eighty;

bbe@1Chronicles:15:10 @Of the sons of Uzziel: Amminadab the chief, and his brothers, a hundred and twelve.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:12 @And said to them, You are the heads of the families of the Levites: make yourselves holy, you and your brothers, so that you may take the ark of the Lord, the God of Israel, to the place which I have made ready for it.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:14 @So the priests and the Levites made themselves holy to take up the ark of the Lord, the God of Israel.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:15 @And the sons of the Levites took up the ark of God, lifting it by its rods, as the Lord had said to Moses.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:16 @And David gave orders to the chief of the Levites to put their brothers the music-makers in position, with instruments of music, corded instruments and brass, with glad voices making sounds of joy.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:17 @So Heman, the son of Joel, and, of his brothers, Asaph, the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brothers, Ethan, the son of Kushaiah, were put in position by the Levites;

bbe@1Chronicles:15:19 @So those who made melody, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were put in position, with brass instruments, sounding loudly;

bbe@1Chronicles:15:21 @And Mattithiah and Eliphelehu and Mikneiah and Obed-edom and Jeiel and Azaziah, with corded instruments on the octave, to give the first note of the song.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:22 @And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was master of the music: he gave directions about the song, because he was expert.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:25 @So David, and the responsible men of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went with joy to get the ark of the agreement of the Lord out of the house of Obed-edom.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:28 @So all Israel took up the ark of the agreement of the Lord, with loud cries and with horns and brass and corded instruments sounding loudly.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:3 @And he gave to everyone, every man and woman of Israel, a cake of bread, some meat, and a cake of dry grapes.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:4 @And he put some of the Levites before the ark of the Lord as servants, to keep the acts of the Lord in memory, and to give worship and praise to the Lord, the God of Israel:

bbe@1Chronicles:16:5 @Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, Uzziel and Shemiramoth and Jehiel and Mattithiah and Eliab and Benaiah and Obed-edom and Jeiel, with corded instruments of music; and Asaph, with brass instruments sounding loudly;

bbe@1Chronicles:16:9 @Let your voice be sounded in songs and melody; let all your thoughts be of the wonder of his works.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:23 @Make songs to the Lord, all the earth; give the good news of his salvation day by day.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:30 @Be in fear before him, all the earth: the world is ordered so that it may not be moved.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:33 @Then let all the trees of the wood be sounding with joy before the Lord, for he is come to be the judge of the earth.

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

bbe@1Chronicles:16:36 @Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, for ever and for ever. And all the people said, So be it; and gave praise to the Lord.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:37 @So he made Asaph and his brothers keep their places there before the ark of the agreement of the Lord, to do whatever had to be done before the ark at all times day by day:

bbe@1Chronicles:16:38 @And Obed-edom, the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah, with their brothers, sixty-eight of them, to be door-keepers:

bbe@1Chronicles:16:42 @And Heman and Jeduthun had horns and brass instruments sounding loudly, and instruments of music for the songs of God; and the sons of Jeduthun were to be at the door.

bbe@1Chronicles:17:7 @So now, say to my servant David, The Lord of armies says, I took you from the fields, from keeping sheep, so that you might be a ruler over my people Israel;

bbe@1Chronicles:17:9 @And I will make a resting-place for my people Israel, planting them there, so that they may be in the place which is theirs and never again be moved; and never again will they be made waste by evil men, as they were at first,

bbe@1Chronicles:17:11 @And when the time comes for you to go to your fathers, I will put in your place your seed after you, one of your sons, and I will make his kingdom strong.

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:17:15 @So Nathan gave David an account of all these words and this vision.

bbe@1Chronicles:17:24 @So let your words be made certain and your name be made great, when men say, The Lord of armies is the God of Israel; and when the family of David your servant is made strong before you.

bbe@1Chronicles:17:25 @For you, O my God, have let your servant see that you will make him head of a line of kings; and so it has come into your servant's heart to make his prayer to you.

bbe@1Chronicles:17:27 @And now you have been pleased to give your blessing to the family of your servant, so that it may go on for ever before you; you, O Lord, have given your blessing, and a blessing will be on it for ever.

bbe@1Chronicles:18:8 @And from Tibhath and from Cun, towns of Hadadezer, David took a great store of brass, of which Solomon made the great brass water-vessel and the brass pillars and vessels.

bbe@1Chronicles:18:10 @He sent his son Hadoram to King David, to give him words of peace and blessing, because he had overcome Hadadezer in the fight, for Hadadezer had been at war with Tou; and he gave him all sorts of vessels of gold and silver and brass

bbe@1Chronicles:18:14 @So David was king over all Israel, judging and giving right decisions for all his people.

bbe@1Chronicles:18:15 @And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the army; and Jehoshaphat, son of Ahilud, was keeper of the records.

bbe@1Chronicles:18:16 @And Zadok, the son of Ahitub; and Ahimelech, the son of Abiathar, were priests; and Shavsha was the scribe;

bbe@1Chronicles:18:17 @And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief of those whose places were at the king's side.

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:19:2 @And David said, I will be a friend to Hanun, the son of Nahash, because his father was a friend to me. So David sent men to him, to give him words of comfort on account of his father. And the servants of David came to Hanun, to the land of the children of Ammon, offering him comfort.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:3 @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:19:4 @So Hanun took David's servants, and cutting off their hair and the skirts of their robes up to the middle, sent them away.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:6 @And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves hated by David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver as payment for war-carriages and horsemen from Mesopotamia and Aram-maacah and Zobah.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:7 @So with this money they got thirty-two thousand war-carriages, and the help of the king of Maacah and his people, who came and took up their position in front of Medeba. And the children of Ammon came together from their towns for the fight.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:9 @So the children of Ammon came out and put their forces in position on the way into the town; and the kings who had come were stationed by themselves in the field.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:14 @So Joab and the people who were with him went forward into the fight against the Aramaeans, and they went in flight before him.

bbe@1Chronicles:20:5 @And again there was war with the Philistines; and Elhanan, the son of Jair, put to death Lahmi, the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the stem of whose spear was like a cloth-worker's rod.

bbe@1Chronicles:20:7 @And when he put shame on Israel, Jonathan, the son of Shimea, David's brother, put him to death.

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:21:4 @But the king's word was stronger than Joab's. So Joab went out and went through all Israel and came to Jerusalem.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:7 @And God was not pleased with this thing; so he sent punishment on Israel.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:10 @Go and say to David, The Lord says, Three things are offered to you: say which of them you will have, so that I may do it to you.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:11 @So Gad came to David and said to him, The Lord says, Take whichever you will:

bbe@1Chronicles:21:14 @So the Lord sent disease on Israel, causing the death of seventy thousand men

bbe@1Chronicles:21:15 @And God sent an angel to Jerusalem for its destruction: and when he was about to do so, the Lord saw, and had regret for the evil, and said to the angel of destruction, It is enough; do no more. Now the angel of the Lord was by the grain-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:20 @And Ornan, turning back, saw the angel, and his four sons who were with him went to a secret place. Now Ornan was crushing his grain.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:22 @Then David said to Ornan, Give me the place where this grain-floor is, so that I may put up an altar here to the Lord: let me have it for its full price; so that this disease may be stopped among the people.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:25 @So David gave Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the place.

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:22:5 @And David said, Solomon my son is young and untested, and the house which is to be put up for the Lord is to be very great, a thing of wonder and glory through all countries; so I will make ready what is needed for it. So David got ready a great store of material before his death.

bbe@1Chronicles:22:6 @Then he sent for his son Solomon, and gave him orders for the building of a house for the Lord, the God of Israel.

bbe@1Chronicles:22:7 @And David said to Solomon, My son, it was my desire to put up a house for the name of the Lord my God.

bbe@1Chronicles:22:9 @But you will have a son who will be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from wars on every side. His name will be Solomon, and in his time I will give Israel peace and quiet;

bbe@1Chronicles:22:10 @He will be the builder of a house for my name; he will be to me a son, and I will be to him a father; and I will make the seat of his rule over Israel certain for ever.

bbe@1Chronicles:22:11 @Now, my son, may the Lord be with you; and may you do well, and put up the house of the Lord your God, as he has said of you.

bbe@1Chronicles:22:12 @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:22:15 @And you have a great number of workmen, cutters and workers of stone and wood, and experts in every sort of work,

bbe@1Chronicles:22:17 @Then David gave orders to all the chiefs of Israel to give their help to Solomon his son, saying,

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:23:6 @And David put them into divisions under the names of the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

bbe@1Chronicles:23:8 @The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, and Zetham and Joel, three.

bbe@1Chronicles:23:9 @The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth and Haziel and Haran, three; these were the heads of the families of Ladan.

bbe@1Chronicles:23:10 @And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zizah and Jeush and Beriah; these four were the sons of Shimei.

bbe@1Chronicles:23:11 @Jahath was the chief and Zizah the second; but Jeush and Beriah had only a small number of sons, so they were grouped together as one family.

bbe@1Chronicles:23:12 @The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.

bbe@1Chronicles:23:13 @The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and Aaron was made separate and holy, he and his sons for ever, for the care of the most holy things and the burning of offerings before the Lord, to do his work and give blessings in his name for ever.

bbe@1Chronicles:23:14 @And the sons of Moses, the man of God, were put into the list of the tribe of Levi.

bbe@1Chronicles:23:15 @The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.

bbe@1Chronicles:23:16 @The sons of Gershom: Shebuel the first.

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:23:18 @The sons of Izhar: Shelomith the first

bbe@1Chronicles:23:19 @The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.

bbe@1Chronicles:23:20 @The sons of Uzziel: Micah the first, and Isshiah the second.

bbe@1Chronicles:23:21 @The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi; the sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.

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:23:23 @The sons of Mushi: Mahli and Eder and Jeremoth, three.

bbe@1Chronicles:23:24 @These were the sons of Levi, grouped by families, the heads of the families of those who were numbered by name, by heads, all those of twenty years old and over who did the work of the house of the Lord.

bbe@1Chronicles:23:27 @So among the last acts of David was the numbering of the sons of Levi, from twenty years old and over.

bbe@1Chronicles:23:28 @Their place was by the side of the sons of Aaron in all the work of the house of the Lord, in the open spaces and in the rooms, in the making clean of all the holy things, in doing all the work of the house of the Lord,

bbe@1Chronicles:23:29 @The holy bread was in their care, and the crushed grain for the meal offering, of unleavened cakes or meal cooked over the fire or in water; they had control of all sorts of weights and measures;

bbe@1Chronicles:23:32 @And they had the care of the Tent of meeting and the holy place, under the direction of the sons of Aaron their brothers, for the work of the house of the Lord.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:1 @Now the divisions into which the sons of Aaron were grouped were these: the sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:2 @But Nadab and Abihu came to their end before their father, and had no children; so Eleazar and Ithamar did the work of priests.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:3 @And David, with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, made distribution of them into their positions for their work.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:4 @And there were more chiefs among the sons of Eleazar than among the sons of Ithamar; and this is how they were grouped: of the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen, all heads of families; and of the sons of Ithamar, heads of families, there were eight.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:5 @So they were put into groups, by the Lord's decision, one with another; for there were rulers of the holy place and rulers of the house of God among the sons of Eleazar and the sons of Ithamar.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:6 @And Shemaiah, the son of Nethanel the scribe, who was a Levite, put down their names in writing, the king being present with the rulers, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech, the son of Abiathar, and the heads of families of the priests and the Levites; one family being taken for Eleazar and then one for Ithamar, and so on.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:19 @So they were put into their different groups, to take their places in the house of the Lord, in agreement with the rules made by Aaron their father, as the Lord, the God of Israel, had given him orders.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:20 @And of the rest of the sons of Levi: of the sons of Amram, Shubael; of the sons of Shubael, Jehdeiah

bbe@1Chronicles:24:21 @Of Rehabiah; of the sons of Rehabiah, Isshiah the chief.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:22 @Of the Izharites, Shelomoth; of the sons of Shelomoth, Jahath.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:23 @And the sons of Hebron: Jeriah the chief, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:24 @The sons of Uzziel, Micah; of the sons of Micah, Shamir.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:25 @The brother of Micah, Isshiah; of the sons of Isshiah, Zechariah.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:26 @The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi; the sons of Jaaziah.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:27 @The sons of Merari: of Jaaziah, Shoham and Zaccur and Ibri.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:28 @Of Mahli: Eleazar, who had no sons.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:29 @Of Kish: the sons of Kish, Jerahmeel.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:30 @And the sons of Mushi: Mahli and Eder and Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites by their families.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:31 @Selection was made of these in the same way as of their brothers the sons of Aaron, David the king being present, with Zadok, and Ahimelech, and the heads of families of the priests and of the Levites; the families of the chief in the same way as those of his younger brother.

bbe@1Chronicles:28:5 @And of all my sons (for the Lord has given me a great number of sons) he has made selection of Solomon to take his place on the seat of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel.

bbe@1Chronicles:28:6 @And he said to me, Solomon your son will be the builder of my house and the open spaces round it; for I have taken him to be my son, and I will be his father.

bbe@1Chronicles:28:8 @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:28:11 @Then David gave to his son Solomon the design of the doorway of the house of God and of its houses and its store-houses, and the higher rooms and the inner rooms and the place for the mercy-seat;

bbe@1Chronicles:28:20 @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:29:5 @Gold for the gold things, and silver for the silver things, and for every sort of work to be done by the expert workmen. Who then will come forward, offering himself this day for the Lord's work?

bbe@1Chronicles:29:10 @So David gave praise to the Lord before all the people; and David said, Praise be to you, O Lord the God of Israel, our father for ever and ever.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:13 @So now, our God, we give you praise, honouring the glory of your name.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:14 @But who am I and what is my people, that we have power to give so freely in this way? for all things come from you, and what we have given you is yours.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:19 @And give to Solomon my son a true heart, to keep your orders, your rules, and your laws, and to do all these things, and to put up this great house for which I have made ready.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:22 @And with great joy they made a feast before the Lord that day. And they made Solomon, the son of David, king a second time, putting the holy oil on him to make him holy to the Lord as ruler, and on Zadok as priest.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:23 @So Solomon was put on the seat of the Lord as king in place of his father David, and everything went well for him; and all Israel was under his authority.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:24 @And all the chiefs and the men of war and all the sons of King David put themselves under the authority of Solomon the king.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:25 @And the Lord made Solomon great in the eyes of all Israel, clothing him with glory and honour such as no other king in Israel had had before him.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:26 @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@2Chronicles:1:1 @And Solomon, the son of David, made himself strong in his kingdom, and the Lord his God was with him, and made him very great.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:2 @And Solomon sent word to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds and to the judges and to every chief in all Israel, heads of their families.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:3 @Then Solomon, and all the men of Israel with him, went to the high place at Gibeon, because the Tent of meeting of God, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, had made in the waste land, was there.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:5 @And the altar of brass which Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, was there before the Tent of the Lord; and Solomon and all the people went to give worship there.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:6 @And Solomon went up there to the brass altar before the Lord at the Tent of meeting, offering on it a thousand burned offerings.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:7 @In that night God came to Solomon in a vision, and said to him, Say what I am to give you.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:8 @And Solomon said to God, Great was your mercy to David my father, and you have made me king in his place.

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:1:13 @So Solomon went back from the high place at Gibeon, from before the Tent of meeting, to Jerusalem; and he was king over Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:14 @And Solomon got together war-carriages and horsemen; he had one thousand, four hundred carriages and twelve thousand horsemen, which he kept, some in the carriage-towns and some with the king at Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:16 @And Solomon's horses came out of Egypt; the king's traders got them from Kue at a price.

bbe@2Chronicles:2:1 @Now it was Solomon's purpose to put up a house for the name of the Lord and a house for himself as king.

bbe@2Chronicles:2:2 @And Solomon had seventy thousand men numbered for transport, and eighty thousand for cutting stone in the mountains, and three thousand, six hundred as overseers.

bbe@2Chronicles:2:3 @And Solomon sent to Huram, king of Tyre, saying, As you did for my father David, sending him cedar-trees for the building of his house,

bbe@2Chronicles:2:7 @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:2:11 @Then Huram, king of Tyre, sent Solomon an answer in writing, saying, Because of his love for his people the Lord has made you king over them.

bbe@2Chronicles:2:12 @And Huram said, Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, maker of heaven and earth, who has given to David the king a wise son, full of wisdom and good sense, to be the builder of a house for the Lord and a house for himself as king.

bbe@2Chronicles:2:14 @The son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, whose father was a man of Tyre, an expert worker in gold and silver and brass and iron, in stone and wood, in purple and blue and fair linen and red, trained in the cutting of every sort of ornament and the invention of every sort of design; let him be given a place among your expert workmen and those of my lord, your father David.

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:2:17 @Then Solomon took the number of all the men from strange lands who were living in Israel, as his father David had done; there were a hundred and fifty-three thousand, six hundred.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:1 @Then Solomon made a start at building the house of the Lord on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem, where the Lord had been seen by his father David, in the place which David had made ready in the grain-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:3 @And Solomon put the base of the house of God in position; by the older measure it was sixty cubits long and twenty cubits wide.

bbe@2Chronicles: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:4:10 @He put the great water-vessel on the right side of the house to the east, facing south

bbe@2Chronicles:4:11 @And Huram made all the pots and the spades and the basins. So he came to the end of all the work he did for King Solomon in the house of God:

bbe@2Chronicles:4:16 @All the pots and the spades and the meat-hooks and their vessels, which Huram, who was as his father, made for King Solomon for the house of the Lord, were of polished brass.

bbe@2Chronicles:4:17 @The king made them of liquid metal in the lowland of Jordan, in the soft earth between Succoth and Zeredah.

bbe@2Chronicles:4:18 @So Solomon made all these vessels, a very great store of them, and the weight of the brass used was not measured.

bbe@2Chronicles:4:19 @And Solomon made all the vessels used in the house of God, the gold altar and the tables on which the holy bread was placed,

bbe@2Chronicles:4:22 @The scissors and the basins and the spoons and the fire-trays, of the best gold; and the inner doors of the house, opening into the most holy place, and the doors of the Temple, were all of gold.

bbe@2Chronicles:5:1 @So all the work which Solomon did for the house of the Lord was complete. And Solomon took the holy things which David his father had given, the silver and the gold and all the vessels, and put them in the store-houses of the house of God.

bbe@2Chronicles:5:2 @Then Solomon sent for all the responsible men of Israel, all the chiefs of the tribes and the heads of families of the children of Israel, to come to Jerusalem and take the ark of the Lord's agreement up out of the town of David, which is Zion.

bbe@2Chronicles:5:6 @And King Solomon and all the men of Israel who had come together there with him, were before the ark, making offerings of sheep and oxen more than might be numbered.

bbe@2Chronicles:5:9 @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:5:12 @And the Levites who made the music, all of them, Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and brothers, robed in fair linen, were in their places with their brass and corded instruments at the east side of the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests blowing horns;)

bbe@2Chronicles:5:13 @And when the players on horns, and those who made melody in song, with one voice were sounding the praise and glory of the Lord; with loud voices and with wind instruments, and brass and corded instruments of music, praising the Lord and saying, He is good; his mercy is unchanging for ever: then the house was full of the cloud of the glory of the Lord,

bbe@2Chronicles:5:14 @So that the priests were not able to keep their places to do their work because of the cloud; for the house of God was full of the glory of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:1 @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:6:2 @So I have made for you a living-place, a house in which you may be for ever present.

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:6:13 @(For Solomon had made a brass stage, five cubits long, five cubits wide and three cubits high, and had put it in the middle of the open space; on this he took his place and went down on his knees before all the meeting of Israel, stretching out his hands to heaven.)

bbe@2Chronicles:6:16 @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:6:23 @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:6:27 @Then give ear from heaven, so that the sin of your servants and the sin of your people Israel may have forgiveness, when you make clear to them the good way in which they are to go; and send rain on your land which you have given to your people for their heritage.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:31 @So that they may give you worship, walking in your ways, as long as they are living in the land which you gave to our fathers.

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:6:37 @And if they take thought, in the land where they are prisoners, turning again to you, crying out in prayer to you in that land, and saying, We are sinners, we have done wrong, we have done evil;

bbe@2Chronicles:6:38 @If with all their heart and soul they are turned again to you, in the land where they are prisoners, the land where they have been taken, and make their prayers, turning their eyes to their land which you gave to their fathers, and to the town which you took for yourself, and the house which I have made for your name:

bbe@2Chronicles:7:1 @Now when Solomon's prayers were ended, fire came down from heaven, burning up all the offerings; and the house was full of the glory of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:5 @King Solomon made an offering of twenty-two thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people kept the feast of the opening of the house of God.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:6 @And the priests were in their places, and the Levites with their instruments of music for the Lord's song, which David the king had made for the praise of the Lord whose mercy is unchanging for ever, when David gave praise by their hand; and the priests were sounding horns before them; and all Israel were on their feet.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:7 @Then Solomon made holy the middle of the open square in front of the house of the Lord, offering the burned offerings there, and the fat of the peace-offerings; for there was not room on the brass altar which Solomon had made for all the burned offerings and the meal offerings and the fat.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:8 @So Solomon kept the feast at that time for seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great meeting, for the people had come together from the way into Hamath and from as far as the river of Egypt.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:10 @And on the twenty-third day of the seventh month, he sent the people away to their tents, full of joy and glad in their hearts, because of all the good which the Lord had done to David and to Solomon and to Israel his people.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:11 @So Solomon came to the end of building the house of the Lord and the king's house; and everything which it was in his mind to make in the house of the Lord and for himself had been well done.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:12 @Now the Lord came to Solomon in a vision by night, and said to him, I have given ear to your prayer, and have taken this place for myself as a house where offerings are to be made.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:13 @If, at my word, heaven is shut up, so that there is no rain, or if I send locusts on the land for its destruction, or if I send disease on my people;

bbe@2Chronicles:7:16 @For I have taken this house for myself and made it holy, so that my name may be there for ever; and my eyes and my heart will be there at all times

bbe@2Chronicles:7:21 @And this house will become a mass of broken walls, and everyone who goes by will be overcome with wonder, and will say, Why has the Lord done so to this land and to this house?

bbe@2Chronicles:8:1 @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:8:3 @And Solomon went to Hamath-zobah and overcame it.

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:8:8 @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:8:12 @Then Solomon made burned offerings to the Lord on the altar of the Lord which he had put up in front of the covered way,

bbe@2Chronicles:8:14 @And he gave the divisions of the priests their places for their work, as ordered by his father David, and to the Levites he gave their work of praise and waiting on the priests, to do what was needed day by day; and he gave the door-keepers their places in turn at every door; for so David, the man of God, had given orders.

bbe@2Chronicles:8:16 @And all the work of Solomon was complete, from the day when he put the base of the Lord's house in position, till Solomon had come to the end of building the Lord's house.

bbe@2Chronicles:8:17 @Then Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Eloth by the sea in the land of Edom.

bbe@2Chronicles:8:18 @And Huram sent him, by his servants, ships and experienced seamen, who went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir and came back with four hundred and fifty talents of gold, which they took to King Solomon

bbe@2Chronicles:9:1 @Now the queen of Sheba, hearing great things of Solomon, came to Jerusalem to put his wisdom to the test with hard questions; and with her came a very great train, and camels weighted down with spices, and great stores of gold and jewels: and when she came to Solomon she had talk with him of everything in her mind.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:2 @And Solomon gave her answers to all her questions; there was no secret which he did not make clear to her.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:3 @And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had made,

bbe@2Chronicles:9:9 @And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and a great store of spices and jewels: never had such spices been seen as the queen of Sheba gave to Solomon.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:10 @And the servants of Huram and the servants of Solomon, in addition to gold from Ophir, came back with sandal-wood and jewels.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:12 @And King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she made request for, in addition to what she had taken to the king. So she went back to her country with her servants.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:13 @Now the weight of gold which came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents;

bbe@2Chronicles:9:14 @And in addition to what he got from traders of different sorts, all the kings of Arabia and the rulers of the country gave gold and silver to Solomon.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:15 @And King Solomon made two hundred body-covers of hammered gold, every one having six hundred shekels of gold in it.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:20 @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:9:22 @And King Solomon was greater than all the kings of the earth in wealth and in wisdom.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:23 @And all the kings of the earth came to see Solomon and to give ear to his wisdom, which God had put into his heart.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:25 @Solomon had four thousand buildings for his horses and his war-carriages, and twelve thousand horsemen whom he kept, some in the carriage-towns and some with the king in Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:28 @They got horses for Solomon from Egypt and from every land.

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:9:30 @Solomon was king over Israel in Jerusalem for forty years.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:31 @And Solomon went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the town of David his father; and Rehoboam his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:10:2 @And when Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, had news of it, (for he was in Egypt where he had gone in flight from King Solomon,) he came back from Egypt.

bbe@2Chronicles:10:5 @And he said to them, Come to me again after three days. So the people went away.

bbe@2Chronicles:10:6 @Then King Rehoboam took the opinion of the old men who had been with Solomon his father when he was living, and said, In your opinion, what answer am I to give to this people?

bbe@2Chronicles:10:12 @So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king had given orders, saying, Come to me again on the third day.

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:10:19 @So Israel was turned away from the family of David to this day.

bbe@2Chronicles:11:3 @Say to Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin,

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:11:7 @And Beth-zur and Soco and Adullam

bbe@2Chronicles:11:14 @For the Levites gave up their living-places and their property, and came to Judah and Jerusalem; for Jeroboam and his sons had sent them away, not letting them be priests to the Lord;

bbe@2Chronicles:11:17 @So they went on increasing the power of the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, strong for three years; and for three years they went in the ways of David and Solomon.

bbe@2Chronicles:11:18 @And Rehoboam took as his wife Mahalath, the daughter of Jerimoth, the son of David and of Abihail, the daughter of Eliab, the son of Jesse;

bbe@2Chronicles:11:19 @And she had sons by him, Jeush, Shemariah, and Zaham.

bbe@2Chronicles:11:21 @Maacah, the daughter of Absalom, was dearer to Rehoboam than all his wives and his servant-wives: (for he had eighteen wives and sixty servant-wives, and was the father of twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.)

bbe@2Chronicles:11:22 @Rehoboam made Abijah, the son of Maacah, chief and ruler among his brothers, for it was his purpose to make him king.

bbe@2Chronicles:11:23 @And in his wisdom he had his sons stationed in every walled town through all the lands of Judah and Benjamin; and he gave them a great store of food, and took wives for them.

bbe@2Chronicles:12:8 @But still they will become his servants, so that they may see how different my yoke is from the yoke of the kingdoms of the lands.

bbe@2Chronicles:12:9 @So Shishak, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem and took away all the stored wealth of the house of the Lord and the king's house: he took everything away, and with the rest the gold body-covers which Solomon had made.

bbe@2Chronicles:12:12 @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:12:13 @So King Rehoboam made himself strong in Jerusalem and was ruling there

bbe@2Chronicles:12:16 @And Rehoboam went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the town of David; and Abijah his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:13:5 @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:13:6 @But Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon, the son of David, took up arms against his lord.

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:13:13 @But Jeroboam had put some of his men to make a surprise attack on them from the back, so some were facing Judah and others were stationed secretly at their back.

bbe@2Chronicles:13:14 @And Judah, turning their faces, saw that they were being attacked in front and at the back; and they gave a cry for help to the Lord, while the priests were sounding their horns.

bbe@2Chronicles:13:18 @So at that time the children of Israel were overcome, and the children of Judah got the better of them, because they put their faith in the Lord, the God of their fathers.

bbe@2Chronicles:13:19 @And Abijah went after Jeroboam and took some of his towns, Beth-el with its small towns and Jeshanah with its small towns and Ephron with its small towns.

bbe@2Chronicles:13:21 @But Abijah became great, and had fourteen wives, and became the father of twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.

bbe@2Chronicles:14:1 @So Abijah went to rest with his fathers, and they put him into the earth in the town of David, and Asa his son became king in his place; in his time the land was quiet for ten years.

bbe@2Chronicles:14:7 @He said to Judah, Let us make these towns, building walls round them with towers and doors and locks. The land is still ours, because we have been true to the Lord our God; we have been true to him and he has given us rest on every side. So they went on building and all went well for them.

bbe@2Chronicles:14:12 @So the Lord sent fear on the Ethiopians before Asa and Judah; and the Ethiopians went in flight.

bbe@2Chronicles:14:13 @And Asa and the people who were with him went after them as far as Gerar; and so great was the destruction among the Ethiopians that they were not able to get their army together again, for they were broken before the Lord and before his army; and they took away a great amount of their goods.

bbe@2Chronicles:15:1 @And the spirit of God came on Azariah, the son of Oded;

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

bbe@2Chronicles:15:8 @And Asa, hearing these words of Azariah, the son of Oded the prophet, took heart and put away all the disgusting things out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the towns which he had taken from the hill-country of Ephraim; and he made new again the altar of the Lord in front of the covered way of the Lord's house.

bbe@2Chronicles:15:10 @So they came together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the rule of Asa.

bbe@2Chronicles:15:12 @And they made an agreement to be true to the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and all their soul;

bbe@2Chronicles:15:14 @And they made an oath to the Lord, with a loud voice, sounding wind-instruments and horns.

bbe@2Chronicles: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:16:3 @Let there be an agreement between me and you as there was between my father and your father: see, I have sent you silver and gold; go and put an end to your agreement with Baasha, king of Israel, so that he may give up attacking me.

bbe@2Chronicles:16:10 @Then Asa was angry with the seer, and put him in prison, burning with wrath against him because of this thing. And at the same time Asa was cruel to some of the people.

bbe@2Chronicles:16:13 @So Asa went to rest with his fathers, and death came to him in the forty-first year of his rule.

bbe@2Chronicles:16:14 @And they put him into the resting-place which he had made for himself in the town of David, in a bed full of sweet perfumes of all sorts of spices, made by the perfumer's art, and they made a great burning for him.

bbe@2Chronicles:17:1 @And Jehoshaphat his son became king in his place, and made himself strong against Israel.

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:17:6 @His heart was lifted up in the ways of the Lord; and he went so far as to take away the high places and the wood pillars out of Judah.

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:17:11 @And some of the Philistines took offerings to Jehoshaphat, and made him payments of silver; and the Arabians gave him flocks, seven thousand, seven hundred sheep, and seven thousand, seven hundred he-goats.

bbe@2Chronicles:17:16 @After him Amasiah, the son of Zichri, who freely gave himself to the Lord, and with him two hundred thousand men of war;

bbe@2Chronicles:18:1 @Now Jehoshaphat had great wealth and honour, and his son was married to Ahab's daughter.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:2 @And after some years he went down to Samaria to see Ahab. And Ahab made a feast for him and the people who were with him, putting to death great numbers of sheep and oxen; and he got Jehoshaphat to go with him to Ramoth-gilead.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:5 @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:18:7 @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:18:8 @Then the king of Israel sent for one of his unsexed servants and said, Go quickly and come back with Micaiah, the son of Imla.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:10 @And Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, made himself iron horns and said, The Lord says, Pushing back the Aramaeans with these, you will put an end to them completely

bbe@2Chronicles:18:12 @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:18:21 @And he said, I will go out and be a spirit of deceit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said, Your trick will have its effect on him: go out and do so.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:23 @Then Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, came near and gave Micaiah a blow on the side of his face, saying, Where is the spirit of the Lord whose word is in you?

bbe@2Chronicles:18:25 @And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah and send him back to Amon, the ruler of the town, and to Joash, the king's son;

bbe@2Chronicles:18:26 @And say, By the king's order this man is to be put in prison, and given prison food till I come back in peace.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:28 @So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, went up to Ramoth-gilead.

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:18:31 @So when the captains of the war-carriages saw Jehoshaphat, they said, It is the king of Israel. And turning about, they came round him, but Jehoshaphat gave a cry, and the Lord came to his help, and God sent them away from him.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:33 @And a certain man sent an arrow from his bow without thought of its direction, and gave the king of Israel a wound where his breastplate was joined to his clothing; so he said to the driver of his war-carriage, Go to one side and take me away out of the army, for I am badly wounded.

bbe@2Chronicles:19:2 @And Jehu, the son of Hanani the seer, went to King Jehoshaphat and said to him, Is it right for you to go to the help of evil-doers, loving the haters of the Lord? because of this, the wrath of the Lord has come on you.

bbe@2Chronicles:19:3 @But still there is some good in you, for you have put away the wood pillars out of the land, and have given your heart to the worship of God.

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:20:6 @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:20:10 @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:20:14 @Then, before all the meeting, the spirit of the Lord came on Jahaziel, the son of Zechariah, son of Benaiah, son of Jeiel, son of Mattaniah, a Levite and one of the family of Asaph;

bbe@2Chronicles:20:22 @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:20:25 @And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take their goods from them, they saw beasts in great numbers, and wealth and clothing and things of value, more than they were able to take away; all this they took for themselves, and they were three days getting it away, there was so much.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:28 @So they came to Jerusalem with corded instruments and wind-instruments into the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:30 @So the kingdom of Jehoshaphat was quiet, for the Lord gave him rest on every side.

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:21:1 @And Jehoshaphat went to rest with his fathers, and his body was put into the earth in the town of David. And Jehoram his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:2 @And he had brothers, sons of Jehoshaphat, Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah; all these were sons of Jehoshaphat, king of Israel.

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:21:10 @So Edom made themselves free from the rule of Judah, to this day: and at the same time Libnah made itself free from his rule; because he was turned away from the Lord, the God of his fathers.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:13 @But have gone in the way of the kings of Israel, and have made Judah and the people of Jerusalem go after false gods, as the family of Ahab did: and because you have put to death your father's sons, your brothers, who were better than yourself:

bbe@2Chronicles:21:15 @And you yourself will undergo the cruel pains of a disease in your stomach, so that day by day your inside will be falling out because of the disease.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:17 @And they came up against Judah, forcing a way into it, and took away all the goods in the king's house, as well as his sons and his wives; so that he had no son but only Jehoahaz, the youngest.

bbe@2Chronicles:22:1 @And the people of Jerusalem made Ahaziah, his youngest son, king in his place, for the band of men who came with the Arabians to the army had put all the older sons to death. So Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, became king.

bbe@2Chronicles:22:5 @Acting on their suggestion, he went with Jehoram, son of Ahab, king of Israel, to make war on Hazael, king of Aram, at Ramoth-gilead: and Joram was wounded by the bowmen.

bbe@2Chronicles:22:6 @And he went back to Jezreel to get well from the wounds which they had given him at Ramah when he was fighting against Hazael, king of Aram. And Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to Jezreel to see Jehoram, the son of Ahab, because he was ill.

bbe@2Chronicles:22:7 @Now by the purpose of God, Ahaziah's journey to see Jehoram was the cause of his downfall: for when he came there, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu, the son of Nimshi, who had been marked out by the Lord for the destruction of the family of Ahab.

bbe@2Chronicles:22:8 @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:23:1 @In the seventh year, Jehoiada made himself strong, and made an agreement with the captains of hundreds, Azariah, the son of Jeroham, Ishmael, the son of Jehohanan, Azariah, the son of Obed, Maaseiah, the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat, the son of Zichri.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:3 @And all the people made an agreement with the king in the house of God. And he said to them, Truly, the king's son will be king, as the Lord has said about the sons of David.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:8 @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:23:11 @Then they made the king's son come out, and they put the crown on his head and gave him the arm-bands and made him king: and Jehoiada and his sons put the holy oil on him and said, Long life to the king.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:13 @And looking, she saw the king in his place by the pillar at the doorway, and the captains and the horns by his side; and all the people of the land were giving signs of joy and sounding the horns; and the makers of melody were playing on instruments of music, taking the chief part in the song of praise. Then Athaliah, violently parting her robes, said, Broken faith, broken faith!

bbe@2Chronicles:23:15 @So they put their hands on her, and she went to the king's house by the doorway of the king's horses; and there she was put to death.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:18 @And Jehoiada put the work and the care of the house of the Lord into the hands of the priests and the Levites, who had been grouped in divisions by David to make burned offerings to the Lord, as it is recorded in the law of Moses, with joy and song as David had said

bbe@2Chronicles:23:21 @So all the people of the land were glad and the town was quiet, for they had put Athaliah to death with the sword.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:3 @And Jehoiada took two wives for him, and he became the father of sons and daughters.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:5 @And getting together the priests and Levites, he said to them, Go out into the towns of Judah year by year, and get from all Israel money to keep the house of your God in good condition; and see that this is done without loss of time. The Levites, however, were slow in doing so.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:7 @For the house of the Lord had been broken up by Athaliah, that evil woman, and her sons; and all its holy things they had given to the Baals.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:8 @So at the king's order they made a chest and put it outside the doorway of the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:11 @So when the chest was taken to the king's servants by the Levites, and they saw that there was much money in it, the king's scribe and the chief priest's servant took the money out, and put the chest back in its place. They did this day by day, and got together a great amount of money.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:13 @So the workmen did their work, making good what was damaged and building up the house of God till it was strong and beautiful again.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:20 @Then the spirit of God came on Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada the priest, and, getting up before the people, he said to them, God has said, Why do you go against the orders of the Lord, so that everything goes badly for you? because you have given up the Lord, he has given you up

bbe@2Chronicles:24:22 @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:24:24 @For though the army of Aram was only a small one, the Lord gave a very great army into their hands, because they had given up the Lord, the God of their fathers. So they put into effect the punishment of Joash.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:25 @And when they had gone away from him, (for he was broken with disease,) his servants made a secret design against him because of the blood of the son of Jehoiada the priest, and they put him to death on his bed; and they put his body into the earth in the town of David, but not in the resting-place of the kings.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:26 @Those who made designs against him were Zabad, the son of Shimeath, an Ammonite woman, and Jehozabad, the son of Shimrith, a Moabite woman.

bbe@2Chronicles: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:25:10 @So Amaziah, separating the armed band which had come to him from Ephraim, sent them back again; which made them very angry with Judah, and they went back burning with wrath.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:12 @And ten thousand more the children of Israel took living, and made them go up to the top of the rock, pushing them down from the top of the rock so that their bodies were broken by the fall.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:15 @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:25:17 @Then Amaziah, king of Judah, acting on the suggestion of his servants, sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us have a meeting face to face.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:18 @And Joash, king of Israel, sent to Amaziah, king of Judah, saying, The thorn-tree in Lebanon sent to the cedar in Lebanon, saying, Give your daughter to my son for a wife: and a beast from the woodland in Lebanon went by, crushing the thorn under his feet.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:20 @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:25:21 @And so Joash, king of Israel, went up; and he and Amaziah, king of Judah, came face to face at Beth-shemesh in Judah.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:23 @And Joash, king of Israel, made Amaziah, king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, prisoner at Beth-shemesh, and took him to Jerusalem; and he had the wall of Jerusalem pulled down from the doorway of Ephraim to the doorway in the angle, four hundred cubits.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:25 @Amaziah, son of Joash, king of Judah, went on living for fifteen years after the death of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.

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:26:21 @So King Uzziah was a leper till the day of his death, living separately in his private house; for he was cut off from the house of God; and Jotham his son was ruling over his house, judging the people of the land.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:22 @Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, were recorded by Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:23 @So Uzziah went to rest with his fathers; and they put his body into the earth in the field used for the resting-place of the kings, for they said, He is a leper: and Jotham his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:27:6 @So Jotham became strong, because in all his ways he made the Lord his guide.

bbe@2Chronicles:27:9 @And Jotham went to rest with his fathers, and they put his body into the earth in the town of David; and Ahaz his son became king in his place.

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

bbe@2Chronicles:28:5 @So the Lord his God gave him up into the hands of the king of Aram; and they overcame him, and took away a great number of his people as prisoners to Damascus. Then he was given into the hands of the king of Israel, who sent great destruction on him.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:6 @For Pekah, the son of Remaliah, in one day put to death a hundred and twenty thousand men of Judah, all of them good fighting-men; because they had given up the Lord, the God of their fathers.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:7 @And Zichri, a great fighting-man of Ephraim, put to death Maaseiah, the king's son, and Azrikam, the controller of his house, and Elkanah, who was second in authority to the king.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:8 @And the children of Israel took away as prisoners from their brothers, two hundred thousand, women and sons and daughters, and a great store of their goods, and took them to Samaria.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:11 @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:28:12 @Then certain of the heads of the children of Ephraim, Azariah, the son of Johanan, Berechiah, the son of Meshillemoth Jehizkiah, the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, put themselves against those who had come from the war,

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:28:14 @So the armed men gave up the prisoners and the goods they had taken to the heads and the meeting of the people.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:15 @And those men who have been named went up and took the prisoners, clothing those among them who were uncovered, with things from the goods which had been taken in the war, and putting robes on them and shoes on their feet; and they gave them food and drink and oil for their bodies, and seating all the feeble among them on asses, they took them to Jericho, the town of palm-trees, to their people, and then went back to Samaria

bbe@2Chronicles:28:17 @For the Edomites had come again, attacking Judah and taking away prisoners.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:18 @And the Philistines, forcing their way into the towns of the lowlands and the south of Judah, had taken Beth-shemesh and Aijalon and Gederoth and Soco, with their daughter-towns, as well as Timnah and Gimzo and their daughter-towns, and were living there.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:23 @For he made offerings to the gods of Damascus, who were attacking him, and said, Because the gods of the kings of Aram are giving them help, I will make offerings to them so that they may give me help. But they were the cause of his downfall, and of that of all Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:27 @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:29:8 @And so the wrath of the Lord has come on Judah and Jerusalem, and he has given them up to be a cause of fear and wonder and shame, as your eyes have seen.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:9 @For see, our fathers have been put to death with the sword, and our sons and daughters and wives have been taken away prisoners because of this.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:10 @Now it is my purpose to make an agreement with the Lord, the God of Israel, so that the heat of his wrath may be turned away from us.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:11 @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:29:12 @Then the Levites took their places; Mahath, the son of Amasai, and Joel, the son of Azariah, among the Kohathites; and of the sons of Merari, Kish, the son of Abdi, and Azariah, the son of Jehallelel; and of the Gershonites, Joah, the son of Zimmah, and Eden, the son of Joah;

bbe@2Chronicles:29:13 @And of the sons of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeuel; and of the sons of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah;

bbe@2Chronicles:29:14 @And of the sons of Heman, Jehuel and Shimei; and of the sons of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:21 @And they took with them seven oxen and seven male sheep and seven lambs and seven he-goats as a sin-offering for the kingdom and for the holy house and for Judah. And he gave orders to the sons of Aaron, the priests, that these were to be offered on the altar of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:22 @So they put the oxen to death and their blood was given to the priests to be drained out against the altar; then they put the male sheep to death, draining out their blood against the altar, and they put the lambs to death, draining out their blood against the altar.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:26 @So the Levites took their places with David's instruments, and the priests with their horns.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:27 @And Hezekiah gave the word for the burned offering to be offered on the altar. And when the burned offering was started, then the song of the Lord was started, with the blowing of horns and with all the instruments of David, king of Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:28 @And all the people gave worship, to the sound of songs and the blowing of horns; and this went on till the burned offering was ended.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:30 @Then King Hezekiah and the captains gave orders to the Levites to give praise to God in the words of David and Asaph the seer. And they made songs of praise with joy, and with bent heads gave worship.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:31 @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:29:35 @And there was a great amount of burned offerings, with the fat of the peace-offerings and the drink offerings for every burned offering. So the work of the Lord's house was put in order.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:1 @Then Hezekiah sent word to all Israel and Judah, and sent letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, requesting them to come to the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, to keep the Passover to the Lord, the God of Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:2 @For the king, after discussion with his chiefs and all the body of the people in Jerusalem, had made a decision to keep the Passover in the second month.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:5 @So it was ordered that word was to be sent out through all Israel, from Beer-sheba to Dan, that they were to come to keep the Passover to the Lord, the God of Israel, at Jerusalem: because they had not kept it in great numbers in agreement with the law.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:6 @So runners went with letters from the king and his chiefs through all Israel and Judah, by the order of the king, saying, O children of Israel, come back again to the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, so that he may come again to that small band of you which has been kept safe out of the hands of the kings of Assyria.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:7 @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:30:10 @So the runners went from town to town through all the country of Ephraim and Manasseh as far as Zebulun: but they were laughed at and made sport of.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:11 @However, some of Asher and Manasseh and Zebulun put away their pride and came to Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:13 @So a very great number of people came together at Jerusalem to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:15 @Then on the fourteenth day of the second month they put the Passover lambs to death: and the priests and the Levites were shamed, and made themselves holy and took burned offerings into the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:17 @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:30:21 @So the children of Israel who were present in Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread for seven days with great joy: and the Levites and the priests gave praise to the Lord day by day, making melody to the Lord with loud instruments.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:22 @And Hezekiah said kind words to the Levites who were expert in the ordering of the worship of the Lord: so they kept the feast for seven days, offering peace-offerings and praising the Lord, the God of their fathers.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:26 @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:31:4 @In addition, he gave orders to the people of Jerusalem to give to the priests and Levites that part which was theirs by right, so that they might be strong in keeping the law of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:14 @And Kore, the son of Imnah the Levite, the keeper of the east door, had control of the offerings freely given to God, and the distribution of the offerings of the Lord and the most holy things.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:18 @And in the lists were all their little ones and their wives and their sons and daughters, through all the people: they made themselves holy in the positions which they were given.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:19 @And as for the sons of Aaron, the priests, living in the country on the outskirts of their towns, every different town there were men, marked out by name, to give their part of the goods to all the males among the priests, and to all who were listed among the Levites.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:4 @So they got together a great number of people, and had all the water-springs and the stream flowing through the land stopped up, saying, Why let the kings of Assyria come and have much water?

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:32:15 @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:32:18 @These things they said, crying out with a loud voice in the Jews' language, to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, with the purpose of troubling them and putting fear into them, so that they might take the town;

bbe@2Chronicles:32:20 @And Hezekiah the king, and Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, made prayer because of this, crying out to heaven.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:21 @And the Lord sent an angel who put to death all the men of war and the chiefs and the captains in the army of the king of Assyria. So he went back to his country in shame. And when he came into the house of his god, his sons, the offspring of his body, put him to death there with the sword.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:22 @So the Lord gave Hezekiah and the people of Jerusalem salvation from the power of Sennacherib, the king of Assyria, and from all others, giving them rest on every side.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:23 @And great numbers came to Jerusalem with offerings for the Lord, and things of great price for Hezekiah, king of Judah: so that he was honoured among all nations from that time

bbe@2Chronicles:32:25 @But Hezekiah did not do as had been done to him; for his heart was lifted up in pride; and so wrath came on him and on Judah and Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:26 @But then, Hezekiah, in sorrow for what he had done, put away his pride; and he and all Jerusalem made themselves low, so that the wrath of the Lord did not come on them in Hezekiah's life-time.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:27 @And Hezekiah had very great wealth and honour; and he made himself store-houses for his gold and silver and jewels and spices, and for body-covers and all sorts of beautiful vessels.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:28 @And store-houses for the produce of grain and wine and oil; and buildings for all sorts of beasts and flocks.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:32 @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:33:7 @And he put the image he had made in the house of God, the house of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, the town which I have made mine out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:

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

bbe@2Chronicles:33:11 @So the Lord sent against them the captains of the army of Assyria, who made Manasseh a prisoner and took him away in chains to Babylon.

bbe@2Chronicles:33:20 @So Manasseh went to rest with his fathers, and they put his body to rest in his house, and Amon his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:33:25 @But the people of the land put to death all those who had taken part in the design against King Amon, and made his son Josiah king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:5 @And he had the bones of the priests burned on their altars, and so he made Judah and Jerusalem clean.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:8 @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:34:12 @And the men did the work well; and those who had authority over them were Jahath and Obadiah, Levites of the sons of Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, who were to be responsible for seeing that the work was done; and others of the Levites, who were expert with instruments of music,

bbe@2Chronicles:34:13 @Had authority over the transport workers, giving directions to all who were doing any sort of work; and among the Levites there were scribes and overseers and door-keepers.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:18 @Then Shaphan the scribe said to the king, Hilkiah the priest has given me a book; and he made a start at reading some of it to the king.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:20 @And he gave orders to Hilkiah and to Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and Abdon, the son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe and Asaiah, the king's servant, saying,

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:34:27 @And your heart was soft, and you made yourself low before God, on hearing his words about this place and its people, and with weeping and signs of grief have made yourself low before me, I have given ear to you, says the Lord God.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:28 @See, I will let you go to your fathers, and be put in your last resting-place in peace, and your eyes will not see all the evil which I will send on this place and on its people. So they took this news back to the king.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:31 @Then the king, taking his place by the pillar, made an agreement before the Lord, to go in the way of the Lord, and to keep his orders and his decisions and his rules with all his heart and with all his soul, and to keep the words of the agreement recorded in this book.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:1 @And Josiah kept a Passover to the Lord in Jerusalem; on the fourteenth day of the first month they put the Passover lamb to death.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:3 @And he said to the Levites, the teachers of all Israel, who were holy to the Lord, See, the holy ark is in the house which Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel, made; it will no longer have to be transported on your backs: now be the servants of the Lord your God and his people Israel,

bbe@2Chronicles:35:4 @And make yourselves ready in your divisions, by your families, as it is ordered in the writings of David, king of Israel, and of Solomon his son;

bbe@2Chronicles:35:6 @And put the Passover lamb to death, and make yourselves holy, and make it ready for your brothers, so that the orders given by the Lord through Moses may be done.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:7 @And Josiah gave lambs and goats from the flock as Passover offerings for all the people who were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand oxen: these were from the king's private property.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:8 @And his captains freely gave an offering to the people, the priests, and the Levites. Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, the rulers of the house of God, gave to the priests for the Passover offerings two thousand, six hundred small cattle and three hundred oxen.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:9 @And Conaniah and Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brothers, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, the chiefs of the Levites, gave to the Levites for the Passover offerings five thousand small cattle and five hundred oxen.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:10 @So everything was made ready and the priests took their places with the Levites in their divisions, as the king had said.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:11 @And they put the Passover lambs to death, the blood being drained out by the priests when it was given to them, and the Levites did the skinning.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:12 @And they took away the burned offerings, so that they might give them to be offered to the Lord for the divisions of the families of the people, as it is recorded in the book of Moses. And they did the same with the oxen.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:13 @And the Passover lamb was cooked over the fire, as it says in the law; and the holy offerings were cooked in pots and basins and vessels, and taken quickly to all the people.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:14 @And after that, they made ready for themselves and for the priests; for the priests, the sons of Aaron, were offering the burned offerings and the fat till night; so the Levites made ready what was needed for themselves and for the priests, the sons of Aaron.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:15 @And the sons of Asaph, the makers of melody, were in their places, as ordered by David and Asaph and Heman and Jeduthun, the king's seer; and the door-keepers were stationed at every door: there was no need for them to go away from their places, for their brothers the Levites made ready for them.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:16 @So everything needed for the worship of the Lord was made ready that same day, for the keeping of the Passover and the offering of burned offerings on the altar of the Lord, as King Josiah had given orders.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:17 @And all the children of Israel who were present kept the Passover and the feast of unleavened bread at that time for seven days.

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:35:19 @In the eighteenth year of the rule of Josiah this Passover was kept.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:24 @So his servants took him out of the line of war-carriages, and put him in his second carriage and took him to Jerusalem, where he came to his end, and they put his body in the resting-place of his fathers. And in all Judah and Jerusalem there was great weeping for Josiah.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:25 @And Jeremiah made a song of grief for Josiah; and to this day Josiah is named by all the makers of melody, men and women, in their songs of grief; they made it a rule in Israel; and the songs are recorded among the songs of grief.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:1 @Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz, the son of Josiah, and made him king in Jerusalem in place of his father.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:7 @And Nebuchadnezzar took away some of the vessels of the Lord's house, and put them in the house of his god in Babylon.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:8 @Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim and the disgusting things he did, and all there is to be said against him, are recorded in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah; and Jehoiachin his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:17 @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:36:21 @So that the words of the Lord, which he said by the mouth of Jeremiah, might come true, till the land had had pleasure in her Sabbaths; for as long as she was waste the land kept the Sabbath, till seventy years were complete.

bbe@Ezra:1:1 @Now in the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, in order that the word of the Lord given by the mouth of Jeremiah might come true, the spirit of Cyrus, king of Persia, was moved by the Lord, so that he made a public statement through all his kingdom, and put it in writing, saying,

bbe@Ezra:1:11 @There were five thousand, four hundred gold and silver vessels. All these were taken back by Sheshbazzar, when those who had been taken prisoner went up from Babylon to Jerusalem.

bbe@Ezra:2:1 @Now these are the people of the divisions of the kingdom, among those who had been made prisoners by Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and taken away to Babylon, who went back to Jerusalem and Judah, everyone to his town;

bbe@Ezra:2:62 @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:2:68 @And some of the heads of families, when they came to the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem, gave freely of their wealth for the building up of the house of God in its place:

bbe@Ezra:2:70 @So the priests and the Levites and the people and the music-makers and the door-keepers and the Nethinim, took up their places in their towns; even all Israel in their towns.

bbe@Ezra:3:2 @Then Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and his brothers the priests, and Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, with his brothers, got up and made the altar of the God of Israel for burned offerings as is recorded in the law of Moses, the man of God.

bbe@Ezra:3:8 @Now in the second year of their coming into the house of God in Jerusalem, in the second month, the work was taken in hand by Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brothers the priests and the Levites, and all those who had come from the land where they were prisoners to Jerusalem: and they made the Levites, of twenty years old and over, responsible for overseeing the work of the house of the Lord.

bbe@Ezra:3:9 @Then Jeshua with his sons and his brothers, Kadmiel with his sons, the sons of Hodaviah, together took up the work of overseeing the workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad with their sons and their brothers, the Levites.

bbe@Ezra:3:10 @And when the builders put in position the base of the Temple of the Lord, the priests, dressed in their robes, took their places with horns, and the Levites, the sons of Asaph, with brass instruments, to give praise to the Lord in the way ordered by David, king of Israel

bbe@Ezra:3:11 @And they gave praise to the Lord, answering one another in their songs and saying, For he is good, for his mercy to Israel is eternal. And all the people gave a great cry of joy, when they gave praise to the Lord, because the base of the Lord's house was put in place.

bbe@Ezra:3:13 @So that in the ears of the people the cry of joy was mixed with the sound of weeping; for the cries of the people were loud and came to the ears of those who were a long way off.

bbe@Ezra:4:15 @So that search may be made in the book of the records of your fathers: and you will see in the book of the records that this town has been uncontrolled, and a cause of trouble to kings and countries, and that there were outbursts against authority there in the past: for which reason the town was made waste.

bbe@Ezra:4:24 @So the work of the house of God at Jerusalem came to an end; so it was stopped, till the second year of the rule of Darius, king of Persia.

bbe@Ezra:5:1 @Now the prophets Haggai and Zechariah, the son of Iddo, were preaching to the Jews in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel.

bbe@Ezra:5:2 @Then Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, got up and made a start at building the house of God at Jerusalem: and the prophets of God were with them, helping them.

bbe@Ezra:5:10 @And we made request for their names, so that we might send you word, and give you the names of the men at the head of them.

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:6:10 @So that they may make offerings of a sweet smell to the God of heaven, with prayers for the life of the king and of his sons.

bbe@Ezra:6:14 @And the responsible men of the Jews went on with their building, and did well, helped by the teaching of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah, the son of Iddo

bbe@Ezra:6:19 @And the children of Israel who had come back kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.

bbe@Ezra:6:20 @For the priests and the Levites had made themselves clean together; they were all clean: and they put the Passover lamb to death for all those who had come back, and for their brothers the priests and for themselves.

bbe@Ezra: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:7:2 @The son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub,

bbe@Ezra:7:3 @The son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth,

bbe@Ezra:7:4 @The son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki,

bbe@Ezra:7:5 @The son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest:

bbe@Ezra:7:7 @And some of the children of Israel went up, with some of the priests and the Levites and the music-makers and the door-keepers and the Nethinim, to Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.

bbe@Ezra:7:17 @So with this money get with care oxen, sheep, and lambs, with their meal offerings and their drink offerings, to be offered on the altar of the house of your God, which is in Jerusalem.

bbe@Ezra:7:23 @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:7:26 @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:8:2 @Of the sons of Phinehas, Gershom; of the sons of Ithamar, Daniel; of the sons of David, Hattush;

bbe@Ezra:8:3 @Of the sons of Shecaniah; of the sons of Parosh, Zechariah; and with him were listed a hundred and fifty males.

bbe@Ezra:8:4 @Of the sons of Pahath-moab, Eliehoenai, the son of Zerahiah; and with him two hundred males.

bbe@Ezra:8:5 @Of the sons of Shecaniah, the son of Jahaziel; and with him three hundred males.

bbe@Ezra:8:6 @And of the sons of Adin, Ebed, the son of Jonathan; and with him fifty males.

bbe@Ezra:8:7 @And of the sons of Elam, Jeshaiah; the son of Athaliah; and with him seventy males.

bbe@Ezra:8:8 @And of the sons of Shephatiah, Zebadiah, the son of Michael; and with him eighty males.

bbe@Ezra:8:9 @Of the sons of Joab, Obadiah, the son of Jehiel; and with him two hundred and eighteen males.

bbe@Ezra:8:10 @And of the sons of Shelomith, the son of Josiphiah; and with him a hundred and sixty males.

bbe@Ezra:8:11 @And of the sons of Bebai, Zechariah, the son of Bebai; and with him twenty-eight males.

bbe@Ezra:8:12 @And of the sons of Azgad, Johanan, the son of Hakkatan; and with him a hundred and ten males.

bbe@Ezra:8:13 @And of the sons of Adonikam, the last, whose names were Eliphelet, Jeuel, and Shemaiah; and with them sixty males.

bbe@Ezra:8:14 @And of the sons of Bigvai, Uthai and Zabbud; and with them seventy males.

bbe@Ezra:8:15 @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:8:17 @And I sent them to Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia, and gave them orders what to say to Iddo and his brothers the Nethinim at the place Casiphia, so that they might come back to us with men to do the work of the house of our God.

bbe@Ezra:8:18 @And by the help of our God they got for us Ish-sechel, one of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel; and Sherebiah with his sons and brothers, eighteen;

bbe@Ezra:8:19 @And Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brothers and their sons, twenty;

bbe@Ezra:8:21 @Then I gave orders for a time of going without food, there by the river Ahava, so that we might make ourselves low before our God in prayer, requesting from him a straight way for us and for our little ones and for all our substance.

bbe@Ezra:8:23 @So we went without food, requesting our God for this: and his ear was open to our prayer.

bbe@Ezra:8:24 @So I put on one side twelve of the chiefs of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brothers with them,

bbe@Ezra:8:30 @So the priests and the Levites took the weight of silver and gold and the vessels, to take them to Jerusalem into the house of our God.

bbe@Ezra:8:33 @And on the fourth day, the silver and the gold and the vessels were measured out by weight in the house of our God into the hands of Meremoth, the son of Uriah, the priest; and with him was Eleazar, the son of Phinehas; and with them were Jozabad, the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah, the son of Binnui, the Levites;

bbe@Ezra:8:35 @And those who had been prisoners, who had come back from a strange land, made burned offerings to the God of Israel, twelve oxen for all Israel, ninety-six male sheep, seventy-seven lambs, twelve he-goats for a sin-offering: all this was a burned offering to the Lord.

bbe@Ezra:9:2 @For they have taken their daughters for themselves and for their sons, so that the holy seed has been mixed with the peoples of the lands; and in fact the captains and rulers have been the first to do this evil.

bbe@Ezra:9:7 @From the days of our fathers till this day we have been great sinners; and for our sins, we and our kings and our priests have been given up into the hands of the kings of the lands, to the sword and to prison and to loss of goods and to shame of face, as it is this day.

bbe@Ezra:9:8 @And now for a little time grace has come to us from the Lord our God, to let a small band of us get free and to give us a nail in his holy place, so that our God may give light to our eyes and a measure of new life in our prison chains.

bbe@Ezra:9:9 @For we are servants; but our God has not been turned away from us in our prison, but has had mercy on us before the eyes of the kings of Persia, to give us new strength to put up again the house of our God and to make fair its waste places, and to give us a wall in Judah and Jerusalem.

bbe@Ezra:9:12 @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:10:2 @And Shecaniah, the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answering, said to Ezra, We have done evil against our God, and have taken as our wives strange women of the peoples of the land: but still there is hope for Israel in this question.

bbe@Ezra:10:5 @Then Ezra got up, and made the chiefs of the priests and the Levites and all Israel take an oath that they would do this. So they took an oath.

bbe@Ezra:10:6 @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:10:10 @And Ezra the priest got to his feet and said to them, You have done wrong and taken strange women for your wives, so increasing the sin of Israel.

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:10:12 @Then all the people, answering, said with a loud voice, As you have said, so it is right for us to do.

bbe@Ezra:10:14 @So now let our rulers be representatives for all the people, and let all those in our towns who are married to strange women come at fixed times, and with them the responsible men and the judges of every town, till the burning wrath of our God is turned away from us, and this has been done.

bbe@Ezra:10:15 @Only Jonathan, the son of Asahel, and Jahzeiah, the son of Tikvah, were against this, Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite supporting them.

bbe@Ezra:10:16 @So those who had come back did so. And Ezra the priest, with certain heads of families, by their fathers' families, all of them by their names, were marked out; and on the first day of the tenth month they took their places to go into the question with care.

bbe@Ezra:10:18 @And among the sons of the priests who were married to strange women were these: of the sons of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak and his brothers, Maaseiah and Eliezer and Jarib and Gedaliah.

bbe@Ezra:10:20 @And of the sons of Immer, Hanani and Zebadiah.

bbe@Ezra:10:21 @And of the sons of Harim, Maaseiah and Elijah and Shemaiah and Jehiel and Uzziah.

bbe@Ezra:10:22 @And of the sons of Pashhur, Elioenai, Maaseiah, Ishmael, Nethanel, Jozabad, and Elasah.

bbe@Ezra:10:25 @And of Israel, the sons of Parosh, Ramiah and Izziah and Malchijah and Mijamin and Eleazar and Malchijah and Benaiah.

bbe@Ezra:10:26 @And of the sons of Elam, Mattaniah, Zechariah, and Jehiel and Abdi and Jeremoth and Elijah.

bbe@Ezra:10:27 @And of the sons of Zattu, Elioenai, Eliashib, Mattaniah, and Jeremoth and Zabad and Aziza.

bbe@Ezra:10:28 @And of the sons of Bebai, Jehohanan, Hananiah, Zabbai, Athlai.

bbe@Ezra:10:29 @And of the sons of Bani, Meshullam, Malluch, and Adaiah, Jashub and Sheal, Jeremoth.

bbe@Ezra:10:30 @And of the sons of Pahath-moab, Adna and Chelal, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattaniah, Bezalel and Binnui and Manasseh.

bbe@Ezra:10:31 @And of the sons of Harim, Eliezer, Isshijah, Malchijah, Shemaiah, Shimeon,

bbe@Ezra:10:33 @Of the sons of Hashum, Mattenai, Mattattah, Zabad, Eliphelet, Jeremai, Manasseh, Shimei.

bbe@Ezra:10:43 @Of the sons of Nebo, Jeiel, Mattithiah, Zabad, Zebina, Iddo, and Joel, Benaiah.

bbe@Ezra:10:44 @All these had taken strange wives; and some of them had wives by whom they had offspring.

bbe@Nehemiah:1:1 @The history of Nehemiah, the son of Hacaliah. Now it came about, in the month Chislev, in the twentieth year, when I was in Shushan, the king's town,

bbe@Nehemiah:1:2 @That Hanani, one of my brothers, came with certain men from Judah; and in answer to my request for news of the Jews who had been prisoners and had got away, and of Jerusalem,

bbe@Nehemiah:1:4 @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: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:2:4 @Then the king said to me, What is your desire? So I made prayer to the God of heaven.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:5 @And I said to the king, If it is the king's pleasure, and if your servant has your approval, send me to Judah, to the town where the bodies of my fathers are at rest, so that I may take in hand the building of it.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:6 @And the king said to me (the queen being seated by his side), How long will your journey take, and when will you come back? So the king was pleased to send me, and I gave him a fixed time.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:7 @Further, I said to the king, If it is the king's pleasure, let letters be given to me for the rulers across the river, so that they may let me go through till I come to Judah;

bbe@Nehemiah:2:8 @And a letter to Asaph, the keeper of the king's park, so that he may give me wood to make boards for the doors of the tower of the house, and for the wall of the town, and for the house which is to be mine. And the king gave me this, for the hand of my God was on me.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:11 @So I came to Jerusalem and was there three days.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:15 @Then in the night, I went up by the stream, viewing the wall; then turning back, I went in by the door in the valley, and so came back.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:17 @Then I said to them, You see what a bad condition we are in; how Jerusalem is a waste, and its doorways burned with fire: come, let us get to work, building up the wall of Jerusalem, so that we may no longer be put to shame.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:18 @Then I gave them an account of how the hand of my God was on me, helping me; and of the king's words which he had said to me. And they said, Let us get to work on the building. So they made their hands strong for the good work.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:20 @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:3:2 @And by his side the men of Jericho were building. And after them, Zaccur, the son of Imri.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:3 @The sons of Hassenaah were the builders of the fish doorway; they put its boards in place and put up its doors, with their locks and rods.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:4 @By their side Meremoth, the son of Uriah, the son of Hakkoz, was making good the walls. Then Meshullam, the son of Berechiah, the son of Meshezabel; and by him, Zadok, the son of Baana.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:6 @Joiada, the son of Paseah, and Meshullam, the son of Besodeiah, made good the old doorway; they put its boards in place and put up its doors, with their locks and rods.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:8 @Near them was working Uzziel, the son of Harhaiah, the gold-worker. And by him was Hananiah, one of the perfume-makers, building up Jerusalem as far as the wide wall.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:9 @Near them was working Rephaiah, the son of Hur, the ruler of half Jerusalem.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:10 @By his side was Jedaiah, the son of Harumaph, opposite his house

bbe@Nehemiah:3:11 @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:3:12 @Near them was Shallum, the son of Hallohesh, the ruler of half Jerusalem, with his daughters.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:14 @And Malchijah, the son of Rechab, the ruler of the division of Beth-haccherem, made good the doorway of the waste, building it up and putting up its doors, with their locks and rods.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:15 @And Shallun, the son of Col-hozeh, the ruler of the division of Mizpah, made good the doorway of the fountain, building it up and covering it and putting up its doors, with their locks and rods, with the wall of the pool of Shelah by the king's garden, as far as the steps which go down from the town of David.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:16 @By his side was working Nehemiah, the son of Azbuk, ruler of half the division of Beth-zur, as far as the place opposite the last resting-places of David's family, and the pool which was made and the house of the men of war.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:17 @Then came the Levites, Rehum, the son of Bani. By his side was working Hashabiah, ruler of half the division of Keilah, for his division.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:18 @After him were working their brothers, Bavvai, the son of Henadad, ruler of half the division of Keilah.

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:3:23 @After them came Benjamin and Hasshub, opposite their house. After them Azariah, the son of Maaseiah, the son of Ananiah, made good the wall by the house where he himself was living.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:24 @After him Binnui, the son of Henadad, was working on another part, from the house of Azariah as far as the turning of the wall and the angle.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:25 @Palal, the son of Uzai, made good the wall opposite the angle and the tower which comes out from the higher part of the king's house, by the open space of the watch. After him was Pedaiah, the son of Parosh.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:29 @After them Zadok, the son of Immer, was working opposite his house. And after him Shemaiah, the son of Shecaniah, the keeper of the east door.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:30 @After him Hananiah, the son of Shelemiah, and Hanun, the sixth son of Zalaph, were making good another part. After him Meshullam, the son of Berechiah, made good the wall opposite his room.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:4 @Give ear, O our God, for we are looked down on: let their words of shame be turned back on themselves, and let them be given up to wasting in a land where they are prisoners:

bbe@Nehemiah:4:6 @So we went on building the wall; and all the wall was joined together half-way up: for the people were working hard.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:13 @So in the lowest part of the space at the back of the walls, in the open places, I put the people by families, with their swords, their spears, and their bows.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:14 @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:4:18 @Every builder was working with his sword at his side. And by my side was a man for sounding the horn.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:20 @Wherever you may be when the horn is sounded, come here to us; our God will be fighting for us.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:21 @So we went on with the work: and half of them had spears in their hands from the dawn of the morning till the stars were seen.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:22 @And at the same time I said to the people, Let everyone with his servant come inside Jerusalem for the night, so that at night they may keep watch for us, and go on working by day.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:23 @So not one of us, I or my brothers or my servants or the watchmen who were with me, took off his clothing, everyone went armed to the water.

bbe@Nehemiah:5:2 @For there were some who said, We, our sons and our daughters, are a great number: let us get grain, so that we may have food for our needs.

bbe@Nehemiah:5:3 @And there were some who said, We are giving our fields and our vine-gardens and our houses for debt: let us get grain because we are in need.

bbe@Nehemiah:5:5 @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:5:10 @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:5:13 @And shaking out the folds of my robe, I said, So may God send out from his house and his work every man who does not keep this agreement; even so let him be sent out and made as nothing. And all the meeting of the people said, So be it, and gave praise to the Lord. And the people did as they had said.

bbe@Nehemiah:5:15 @But earlier rulers who were before me made the people responsible for their upkeep, and took from them bread and wine at the rate of forty shekels of silver; and even their servants were lords over the people: but I did not do so, because of the fear of God.

bbe@Nehemiah:5:18 @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:6:3 @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:6:6 @And in it these words were recorded: It is said among the nations, and Geshem says so, that you and the Jews are hoping to make yourselves free from the king's authority; and that this is why you are building the wall: and they say that it is your purpose to be their king;

bbe@Nehemiah:6:7 @And that you have prophets preaching about you in Jerusalem, and saying, There is a king in Judah: now an account of these things will be sent to the king. So come now, and let us have a discussion.

bbe@Nehemiah:6:9 @For they were hoping to put fear in us, saying, Their hands will become feeble and give up the work so that it may not get done. But now, O God, make my hands strong.

bbe@Nehemiah:6:10 @And I went to the house of Shemaiah, the son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabel, who was shut up; and he said, Let us have a meeting in the house of God, inside the Temple, and let the doors be shut: for they will come to put you to death; truly, in the night they will come to put you to death.

bbe@Nehemiah:6:11 @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:6:13 @For this reason they had given him money, in order that I might be overcome by fear and do what he said and do wrong, and so they would have reason to say evil about me and put shame on me.

bbe@Nehemiah:6:15 @So the wall was complete on the twenty-fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty-two days.

bbe@Nehemiah:6:18 @For in Judah there were a number of people who had made an agreement by oath with him, because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah, the son of Arah; and his son Jehohanan had taken as his wife the daughter of Meshullam, the son of Berechiah.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:5 @And my God put it into my heart to get together the rulers and the chiefs and the people so that they might be listed by families. And I came across a record of the names of those who came up at the first, and in it I saw these words:

bbe@Nehemiah:7:6 @These are the people of the divisions of the kingdom, among those who had been made prisoners by Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and taken away by him, who went back to Jerusalem and Judah, every one to his town;

bbe@Nehemiah:7:57 @The children of Solomon's servants: the children of Sotai, the children of Sophereth, the children of Perida,

bbe@Nehemiah:7:60 @All the Nethinim and the children of Solomon's servants were three hundred and ninety-two.

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:7:70 @And some of the heads of families gave money for the work. The Tirshatha gave into the store a thousand darics of gold, fifty basins, five hundred and thirty priests' robes.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:71 @And some of the heads of families gave into the store for the work twenty thousand darics of gold, and two thousand, two hundred pounds of silver.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:73 @So the priests and the Levites and the door-keepers and the music-makers and some of the people and the Nethinim, and all Israel, were living in their towns.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:6 @And Ezra gave praise to the Lord, the great God. And all the people in answer said, So be it, so be it; lifting up their hands; and with bent heads they gave worship to the Lord, going down on their faces to the earth.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:8 @And they gave out the words of the book the law of God, clearly, and gave the sense of it, so that their minds were able to take it in.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:9 @And Nehemiah, who was the Tirshatha, and Ezra, the priest and scribe, and the Levites who were the teachers of the people, said to all the people, This day is holy to the Lord your God; let there be no sorrow or weeping; for all the people were weeping on hearing the words of the law.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:10 @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:9:10 @And you did signs and wonders on Pharaoh and all his servants and all the people of his land; for you saw how cruel they were to them. So you got yourself a name as it is today.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:11 @By you the sea was parted before them, so that they went through the sea on dry land; and those who went after them went down into the deep, like a stone into great waters.

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:9:18 @Even when they had made for themselves an ox of metal, and said, This is your God who took you up out of Egypt, and had done so much to make you angry;

bbe@Nehemiah:9:22 @And you gave them kingdoms and peoples, making distribution to them in every part of the land: so they took for their heritage the land of Sihon, even the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og, king of Bashan.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:24 @So the children went in and took the land, and you overcame before them the people of the land, the Canaanites, and gave them up into their hands, with their kings and the people of the land, so that they might do with them whatever it was their pleasure to do.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:25 @And they took walled towns and a fat land, and became the owners of houses full of all good things, water-holes cut in the rock, vine-gardens and olive-gardens and a wealth of fruit-trees: so they had food enough and became fat, and had joy in the good you gave them.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:27 @And so you gave them up into the hands of their haters who were cruel to them: and in the time of their trouble, when they made their prayer to you, you gave ear to them from heaven; and in your great mercy gave them saviours, who made them free from the hands of their haters.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:28 @But when they had rest, they did evil again before you: so you gave them into the hands of their haters, who had rule over them: but when they came back and made their prayer to you, you gave ear to them from heaven; again and again, in your mercy, you gave them salvation;

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:9:36 @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:10:9 @And the Levites: by name, Jeshua, the son of Azaniah, Binnui, of the sons of Henadad, Kadmiel,

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:10:35 @And to take the first-fruits of our land, and the first-fruits of every sort of tree, year by year, into the house of the Lord;

bbe@Nehemiah:10:36 @As well as the first of our sons and of our cattle, as it is recorded in the law, and the first lambs of our herds and of our flocks, which are to be taken to the house of our God, to the priests who are servants in the house of our God:

bbe@Nehemiah:10:37 @And that we would take the first of our rough meal, and our lifted offerings, and the fruit of every sort of tree, and wine and oil, to the priests, to the rooms of the house of our God; and the tenth of the produce of our land to the Levites; for they, the Levites, take a tenth in all the towns of our ploughed land.

bbe@Nehemiah:10:38 @And the priest, the son of Aaron, is to be with the Levites, when the Levites take the tenths: and the Levites are to take a tenth of the tenths into the house of our God, to the rooms, into the store-house;

bbe@Nehemiah:11:3 @Now these are the chiefs of the divisions of the country who were living in Jerusalem: but in the towns of Judah everyone was living on his heritage in the towns, that is, Israel, the priests, the Levites, the Nethinim, and the children of Solomon's servants.

bbe@Nehemiah:11:4 @And in Jerusalem there were living certain of the children of Judah and of Benjamin. Of the children of Judah: Athaiah, the son of Uzziah, the son of Zechariah, the son of Amariah, the son of Shephatiah, the son of Mahalalel, of the children of Perez;

bbe@Nehemiah:11:5 @And Maaseiah, the son of Baruch, the son of Col-hozeh, the son of Hazaiah, the son of Adaiah, the son of Joiarib, the son of Zechariah, the son of the Shilonite.

bbe@Nehemiah:11:13 @And his brothers, heads of families, two hundred and forty-two; and Amashsai, the son of Azarel, the son of Ahzai, the son of Meshillemoth, the son of Immer,

bbe@Nehemiah:11:14 @And their brothers, men of war, a hundred and twenty-eight; and their overseer was Zabdiel, the son of Haggedolim.

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:11:22 @And the overseer of the Levites at Jerusalem was Uzzi, the son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Mica, of the sons of Asaph, the music-makers, who was over the business of the house of God.

bbe@Nehemiah:11:24 @And Pethahiah, the son of Meshezabel, of the sons of Zerah, the son of Judah, was the king's servant in everything to do with the people.

bbe@Nehemiah:11:25 @And for the daughter-towns with their fields, some of the men of Judah were living in Kiriath-arba and its daughter-towns, and in Dibon and its daughter-towns, and in Jekabzeel and its daughter-towns,

bbe@Nehemiah:11:30 @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: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:12:23 @The sons of Levi, heads of families, were recorded in the book of the histories, even till the days of Johanan, the son of Eliashib.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:24 @And the chiefs of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua, the son of Kadmiel, with their brothers opposite them, to give blessing and praise as ordered by David, the man of God, watch against watch.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:26 @These were in the days of Joiakim, the son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the ruler and of Ezra the priest, the scribe.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:28 @And the sons of the music-makers came together from the lowland round about Jerusalem and from the daughter-towns of the Netophathites,

bbe@Nehemiah:12:35 @And certain of the priests' sons with wind instruments; Zechariah, the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph,

bbe@Nehemiah:12:40 @So the two bands of those who gave praise took up their positions in the house of God, and I and half of the chiefs with me:

bbe@Nehemiah:12:43 @And on that day they made great offerings and were glad; for God had made them glad with great joy; and the women and the children were glad with them: so that the joy of Jerusalem came to the ears of those who were far off.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:45 @And they kept the watch of their God, and were responsible for making things clean, and so did the music-makers and the door-keepers, as it was ordered by David and Solomon his son.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:46 @For in the days of David and Asaph in the past, there was a master of the music, and songs of blessing and praise to God.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:47 @And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah gave what was needed by the music-makers and the door-keepers day by day: and they made the offerings holy for the Levites; and the Levites did the same for the sons of Aaron.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:3 @So after hearing the law, they took out of Israel all the mixed people.

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:13:8 @And it was evil in my eyes: so I had all Tobiah's things put out of the room.

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:13:13 @And I made controllers over the store-houses, Shelemiah the priest and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah: and with them was Hanan, the son of Zaccur the son of Mattaniah: they were taken to be true men and their business was the distribution of these things to their brothers.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:15 @In those days, I saw in Judah some who were crushing grapes on the Sabbath, and getting in grain and putting it on asses; as well as wine and grapes and figs and all sorts of goods which they took into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day: and I gave witness against them on the day when they were marketing food

bbe@Nehemiah:13:16 @And there were men of Tyre there, who came with fish and all sorts of goods, trading with the children of Judah and in Jerusalem on the Sabbath.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:19 @And so, when the streets of Jerusalem were getting dark before the Sabbath, I gave orders for the doors to be shut and not to be open again till after the Sabbath: and I put some of my servants by the door so that nothing might be taken in on the Sabbath day.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:20 @So the traders in all sorts of goods took their night's rest outside Jerusalem once or twice.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:21 @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:13:25 @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@Nehemiah:13:28 @And one of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib, the chief priest, was son-in-law to Sanballat the Horonite: so I sent him away from me.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:30 @So I made them clean from all strange people, and had regular watches fixed for the priests and for the Levites, everyone in his work;

bbe@Esther:1:18 @And the wives of the captains of Persia and Media, hearing what the queen has done, will say the same to all the king's captains. So there will be much shame and wrath.

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:2:2 @Then the servants who were waiting on the king said to him, Let search be made for some fair young virgins for the king:

bbe@Esther:2:4 @And let the girl who is pleasing to the king be queen in place of Vashti. And the king was pleased with this suggestion; and he did so.

bbe@Esther:2:5 @Now there was a certain Jew in Shushan named Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite;

bbe@Esther:2:6 @Who had been taken away from Jerusalem among those who had been made prisoner with Jeconiah, king of Judah, when Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, had taken him away.

bbe@Esther:2:8 @So when the order made by the king was publicly given out, and a number of girls had been placed in the care of Hegai in the king's house in Shushan, Esther was taken into the king's house and put in the care of Hegai, the keeper of the women.

bbe@Esther:2:10 @Esther had not said what family or people she came from, for Mordecai had given her orders not to do so.

bbe@Esther:2:16 @So Esther was taken in to King Ahasuerus in his house in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his rule.

bbe@Esther:2:17 @And Esther was more pleasing to the king than all the women, and to his eyes she was fairer and more full of grace than all the other virgins: so he put his crown on her head and made her queen in place of Vashti.

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:3:6 @But it was not enough for him to make an attack on Mordecai only; for they had made clear to him who Mordecai's people were; so Haman made it his purpose to put an end to all the Jews, even Mordecai's people, through all the kingdom of Ahasuerus.

bbe@Esther:3:8 @And Haman said to King Ahasuerus, There is a certain nation living here and there in small groups among the people in all the divisions of your kingdom; their laws are different from those of any other nation, and they do not keep the king's laws: for this reason it is not right for the king to let them be.

bbe@Esther:3:10 @And the king took his ring from his hand and gave it to Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the hater of the Jews

bbe@Esther:3:14 @A copy of the writing, to be made public in every part of the kingdom, was sent out to all the peoples, so that they might be ready when that day came.

bbe@Esther:4:3 @And in every part of the kingdom, wherever the king's word and his order came, there was great sorrow among the Jews, and weeping and crying and going without food; and numbers of them were stretched on the earth covered with dust and haircloth.

bbe@Esther:4:4 @And Esther's women and her servants came and gave her word of it. Then great was the grief of the queen: and she sent robes for Mordecai, so that his clothing of haircloth might be taken off; but he would not have them.

bbe@Esther:4:6 @So Hathach went out and saw Mordecai in the open square of the town before the king's doorway.

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:4:17 @So Mordecai went away and did everything as Esther had said.

bbe@Esther:5:2 @And when the king saw Esther the queen waiting in the inner room, looking kindly on her he put out the rod of gold in his hand to her. So Esther came near and put her fingers on the top of the rod.

bbe@Esther:5:5 @Then the king said, Let Haman come quickly, so that what Esther has said may be done. So the king and Haman came to the feast which Esther had made ready.

bbe@Esther:6:1 @That night the king was unable to get any sleep; and he sent for the books of the records; and while some one was reading them to the king,

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:6:9 @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:6:10 @Then the king said to Haman, Go quickly, and take the robes and the horse, as you have said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, who is seated at the king's doorway: see that you do everything as you have said.

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:7:1 @So the king and Haman came to take wine with Esther the queen.

bbe@Esther:7:4 @For we are given up, I and my people, to destruction and death and to be cut off. If we had been taken as men-servants and women-servants for a price, I would have said nothing, for our trouble is little in comparison with the king's loss.

bbe@Esther:7:10 @So Haman was put to death by hanging him on the pillar he had made for Mordecai. Then the king's wrath became less.

bbe@Esther:8:5 @And she said, If it is the king's pleasure and if I have his approval and this thing seems right to the king and I am pleasing to him, then let letters be sent giving orders against those which Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, sent out for the destruction of the Jews in all divisions of the kingdom:

bbe@Esther:8:8 @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:8:13 @A copy of the writing, to be made public as an order in every division of the kingdom, was given out to all the peoples, so that the Jews might be ready when that day came to give punishment to their haters.

bbe@Esther:8:14 @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:9:5 @So the Jews overcame all their attackers with the sword and with death and destruction, and did to their haters whatever they had a desire to do.

bbe@Esther:9:10 @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:9:13 @Then Esther said, If it is the king's pleasure, let authority be given to the Jews in Shushan to do tomorrow as has been done today, and let orders be given for the hanging of Haman's ten sons.

bbe@Esther:9:14 @And the king said that this was to be done, and the order was given out in Shushan, and the hanging of Haman's ten sons was effected.

bbe@Esther:9:19 @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:9:24 @Because Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the hater of all the Jews, had made designs for their destruction, attempting to get a decision by Pur (that is, chance) with a view to putting an end to them and cutting them off;

bbe@Esther:9:25 @But when the business was put before the king, he gave orders by letters that the evil design which he had made against the Jews was to be turned against himself; and that he and his sons were to be put to death by hanging.

bbe@Esther:9:26 @So these days were named Purim, after the name of Pur. And so, because of the words of this letter, and of what they had seen in connection with this business, and what had come to them,

bbe@Esther:9:27 @The Jews made a rule and gave an undertaking, causing their seed and all those who were joined to them to do the same, so that it might be in force for ever, that they would keep those two days, as ordered in the letter, at the fixed time every year;

bbe@Job:1:2 @And he had seven sons and three daughters.

bbe@Job:1:3 @And of cattle he had seven thousand sheep and goats, and three thousand camels, and a thousand oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and a very great number of servants. And the man was greater than any of the sons of the east.

bbe@Job:1:4 @His sons regularly went to one another's houses, and every one on his day gave a feast: and at these times they sent for their three sisters to take part in their feasts with them.

bbe@Job:1:5 @And at the end of their days of feasting, Job sent and made them clean, getting up early in the morning and offering burned offerings for them all. For, Job said, It may be that my sons have done wrong and said evil of God in their hearts. And Job did this whenever the feasts came round.

bbe@Job:1:6 @And there was a day when the sons of the gods came together before the Lord, and the Satan came with them.

bbe@Job:1:13 @And there was a day when his sons and daughters were feasting in the house of their oldest brother,

bbe@Job:1:18 @And this one was still talking when another came, and said, Your sons and your daughters were feasting together in their oldest brother's house,

bbe@Job:2:1 @And there was a day when the sons of the gods came together before the Lord, and the Satan came with them.

bbe@Job:2:11 @And Job's three friends had word of all this evil which had come on him. And they came every one from his place, Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. So they came together to a meeting-place, in order that they might go and make clear to Job their grief for him, and give him comfort.

bbe@Job:3:7 @As for that night, let it have no fruit; let no voice of joy be sounded in it;

bbe@Job:3:10 @Because it did not keep the doors of my mother's body shut, so that trouble might be veiled from my eyes

bbe@Job:3:18 @There the prisoners are at peace together; the voice of the overseer comes not again to their ears.

bbe@Job:3:20 @Why does he give light to him who is in trouble, and life to the bitter in soul;

bbe@Job:3:24 @In place of my food I have grief, and cries of sorrow come from me like water.

bbe@Job:4:10 @Though the noise of the lion and the sounding of his voice, may be loud, the teeth of the young lions are broken

bbe@Job:4:12 @A word was given to me secretly, and the low sound of it came to my ears.

bbe@Job:4:16 @Something was present before me, but I was not able to see it clearly; there was a form before my eyes: a quiet voice came to my ears, saying:

bbe@Job:5:12 @Who makes the designs of the wise go wrong, so that they are unable to give effect to their purposes

bbe@Job:5:16 @So the poor man has hope, and the mouth of the evil-doer is stopped.

bbe@Job:5:17 @Truly, that man is happy who has training from the hand of God: so do not let your heart be shut to the teaching of the Ruler of all.

bbe@Job:5:27 @See, we have made search with care, and it is so; it has come to our ears; see that you take note of it for yourself.

bbe@Job:6:4 @For the arrows of the Ruler of all are present with me, and their poison goes deep into my spirit: his army of fears is put in order against me.

bbe@Job:6:5 @Does the ass of the fields give out his voice when he has grass? or does the ox make sounds over his food?

bbe@Job:6:6 @Will a man take food which has no taste without salt? or is there any taste in the soft substance of purslain?

bbe@Job:6:7 @My soul has no desire for such things, they are as disease in my food.

bbe@Job:6:9 @If only he would be pleased to put an end to me; and would let loose his hand, so that I might be cut off!

bbe@Job:6:10 @So I would still have comfort, and I would have joy in the pains of death, for I have not been false to the words of the Holy One.

bbe@Job:6:21 @So have you now become to me; you see my sad condition and are in fear.

bbe@Job:6:22 @Did I say, Give me something? or, Make a payment for me out of your wealth?

bbe@Job:6:23 @Or, Get me out of the power of my hater? or, Give money so that I may be free from the power of the cruel ones?

bbe@Job:7:3 @So I have for my heritage months of pain to no purpose, and nights of weariness are given to me.

bbe@Job:7:9 @A cloud comes to an end and is gone; so he who goes down into the underworld comes not up again.

bbe@Job:7:11 @So I will not keep my mouth shut; I will let the words come from it in the pain of my spirit, my soul will make a bitter outcry.

bbe@Job:7:15 @So that a hard death seems better to my soul than my pains.

bbe@Job:7:19 @How long will it be before your eyes are turned away from me, so that I may have a minute's breathing-space?

bbe@Job:7:20 @If I have done wrong, what have I done to you, O keeper of men? why have you made me a mark for your blows, so that I am a weariness to myself?

bbe@Job:8:13 @So is the end of all who do not keep God in mind; and the hope of the evil-doer comes to nothing:

bbe@Job:9:2 @Truly, I see that it is so: and how is it possible for a man to get his right before God?

bbe@Job:9:6 @Who is moving the earth out of its place, so that its pillars are shaking:

bbe@Job:9:9 @Who made the Bear and Orion, and the Pleiades, and the store-houses of the south:

bbe@Job:9:22 @It is all the same to me; so I say, He puts an end to the sinner and to him who has done no wrong together.

bbe@Job:9:30 @If I am washed with snow water, and make my hands clean with soap;

bbe@Job:9:31 @Then you will have me pushed into the dust, so that I will seem disgusting to my very clothing.

bbe@Job:10:1 @My soul is tired of life; I will let my sad thoughts go free in words; my soul will make a bitter outcry.

bbe@Job:10:20 @Are not the days of my life small in number? Let your eyes be turned away from me, so that I may have a little pleasure,

bbe@Job:11:12 @And so a hollow-minded man will get wisdom, when a young ass of the field gets teaching.

bbe@Job:11:16 @For your sorrow will go from your memory, like waters flowing away:

bbe@Job:12:10 @In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all flesh of man.

bbe@Job:12:19 @He makes priests prisoners, overturning those in safe positions;

bbe@Job:12:20 @He makes the words of responsible persons without effect, and takes away the good sense of the old;

bbe@Job:13:8 @Will you have respect for God's person in this cause, and put yourselves forward as his supporters?

bbe@Job:13:10 @He will certainly put you right, if you have respect for persons in secret.

bbe@Job:13:11 @Will not his glory put you in fear, so that your hearts will be overcome before him?

bbe@Job:13:19 @Is any one able to take up the argument against me? If so, I would keep quiet and give up my breath.

bbe@Job:13:22 @Then at the sound of your voice I will give answer; or let me put forward my cause for you to give me an answer.

bbe@Job:14:1 @As for man, the son of woman, his days are short and full of trouble.

bbe@Job:14:6 @Let your eyes be turned away from him, and take your hand from him, so that he may have pleasure at the end of his day, like a servant working for payment.

bbe@Job:14:12 @So man goes down to his last resting-place and comes not again: till the heavens come to an end, they will not be awake or come out of their sleep.

bbe@Job:14:15 @At the sound of your voice I would give an answer, and you would have a desire for the work of your hands.

bbe@Job:14:19 @The stones are crushed small by the force of the waters; the dust of the earth is washed away by their overflowing: and so you put an end to the hope of man.

bbe@Job:14:21 @His sons come to honour, and he has no knowledge of it; they are made low, but he is not conscious of it.

bbe@Job:14:22 @Only his flesh still has pain, and his soul is sad.

bbe@Job:15:4 @Truly, you make the fear of God without effect, so that the time of quiet worship before God is made less by your outcry.

bbe@Job:15:13 @So that you are turning your spirit against God, and letting such words go out of your mouth?

bbe@Job:15:14 @What is man, that he may be clean? and how may the son of woman be upright?

bbe@Job:15:21 @A sound of fear is in his ears; in time of peace destruction will come on him:

bbe@Job:16:4 @It would not be hard for me to say such things if your souls were in my soul's place; joining words together against you, and shaking my head at you:

bbe@Job:16:21 @So that he may give decision for a man in his cause with God, and between a son of man and his neighbour

bbe@Job:19:8 @My way is walled up by him so that I may not go by: he has made my roads dark.

bbe@Job:19:29 @Be in fear of the sword, for the sword is the punishment for such things, so that you may be certain that there is a judge.

bbe@Job:20:14 @His food becomes bitter in his stomach; the poison of snakes is inside him.

bbe@Job:20:16 @He takes the poison of snakes into his mouth, the tongue of the snake is the cause of his death.

bbe@Job:21:12 @They make songs to the instruments of music, and are glad at the sound of the pipe.

bbe@Job:21:19 @You say, God keeps punishment stored up for his children. Let him send it on the man himself, so that he may have the punishment of it!

bbe@Job:21:25 @And another comes to his end with a bitter soul, without ever tasting good.

bbe@Job:22:11 @Your light is made dark so that you are unable to see, and you are covered by a mass of waters.

bbe@Job:22:14 @Thick clouds are covering him, so that he is unable to see; and he is walking on the arch of heaven.

bbe@Job:22:21 @Put yourself now in a right relation with him and be at peace: so will you do well in your undertakings.

bbe@Job:23:2 @Even today my outcry is bitter; his hand is hard on my sorrow.

bbe@Job:23:3 @If only I had knowledge of where he might be seen, so that I might come even to his seat!

bbe@Job:23:13 @But his purpose is fixed and there is no changing it; and he gives effect to the desire of his soul.

bbe@Job:24:12 @From the town come sounds of pain from those who are near death, and the soul of the wounded is crying out for help; but God does not take note of their prayer.

bbe@Job:24:14 @He who is purposing death gets up before day, so that he may put to death the poor and those in need.

bbe@Job:24:19 @Snow waters become dry with the heat: so do sinners go down into the underworld.

bbe@Job:24:25 @And if it is not so, now, who will make it clear that my words are false, and that what I say is of no value?

bbe@Job:25:4 @How then is it possible for man to be upright before God? or how may he be clean who is a son of woman?

bbe@Job:25:6 @How much less man who is an insect, and the son of man who is a worm!

bbe@Job:27:2 @By the life of God, who has taken away my right; and of the Ruler of all, who has made my soul bitter;

bbe@Job:27:8 @For what is the hope of the sinner when he is cut off, when God takes back his soul?

bbe@Job:27:19 @He goes to rest full of wealth, but does so for the last time: on opening his eyes, he sees it there no longer.

bbe@Job:27:23 @Men make signs of joy because of him, driving him from his place with sounds of hissing.

bbe@Job:29:13 @The blessing of him who was near to destruction came on me, and I put a song of joy into the widow's heart.

bbe@Job:30:8 @They are sons of shame, and of men without a name, who have been forced out of the land.

bbe@Job:30:9 @And now I have become their song, and I am a word of shame to them.

bbe@Job:30:16 @But now my soul is turned to water in me, days of trouble overtake me:

bbe@Job:30:25 @Have I not been weeping for the crushed? and was not my soul sad for him who was in need?

bbe@Job:30:31 @And my music has been turned to sorrow, and the sound of my pipe into the noise of weeping.

bbe@Job:31:17 @If I kept my food for myself, and did not give some of it to the child with no father;

bbe@Job:31:34 @For fear of the great body of people, or for fear that families might make sport of me, so that I kept quiet, and did not go out of my door;

bbe@Job:31:38 @If my land has made an outcry against me, or the ploughed earth has been in sorrow;

bbe@Job:32:1 @So these three men gave no more answers to Job, because he seemed to himself to be right.

bbe@Job:32:2 @And Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, was angry, burning with wrath against Job, because he seemed to himself more right than God;

bbe@Job:32:6 @And Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, made answer and said, I am young, and you are very old, so I was in fear, and kept myself from putting my knowledge before you.

bbe@Job:32:10 @So I say, Give ear to me, and I will put forward my knowledge.

bbe@Job:32:20 @Let me say what is in my mind, so that I may get comfort; let me give answer with open mouth.

bbe@Job:33:10 @See, he is looking for something against me; in his eyes I am as one of his haters;

bbe@Job:33:16 @Then he makes his secrets clear to men, so that they are full of fear at what they see;

bbe@Job:33:18 @To keep back his soul from the underworld, and his life from destruction.

bbe@Job:33:20 @He has no desire for food, and his soul is turned away from delicate meat;

bbe@Job:33:21 @His flesh is so wasted away, that it may not be seen, and his bones....

bbe@Job:33:22 @And his soul comes near to the underworld, and his life to the angels of death.

bbe@Job:33:27 @He makes a song, saying, I did wrong, turning from the straight way, but he did not give me the reward of my sin.

bbe@Job:33:28 @He kept my soul from the underworld, and my life sees the light in full measure.

bbe@Job:33:30 @Keeping back his soul from the underworld, so that he may see the light of life.

bbe@Job:34:25 @For he has knowledge of their works, overturning them in the night, so that they are crushed.

bbe@Job:34:28 @So that the cry of the poor might come up to him, and the prayer of those in need come to his ears.

bbe@Job:35:8 @Your evil-doing may have an effect on a man like yourself, or your righteousness on a son of man.

bbe@Job:35:9 @Because the hand of the cruel is hard on them, men are making sounds of grief; they are crying out for help because of the arm of the strong.

bbe@Job:35:10 @But no one has said, Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night;

bbe@Job:36:2 @Give me a little more time, and I will make it clear to you; for I have still something to say for God.

bbe@Job:36:8 @And if they have been prisoned in chains, and taken in cords of trouble,

bbe@Job:36:10 @Their ear is open to his teaching, and he gives them orders so that their hearts may be turned from evil.

bbe@Job:36:13 @Those who have no fear of God keep wrath stored up in their hearts; they give no cry for help when they are made prisoners.

bbe@Job:36:21 @Take care not to be turned to sin, for you have taken evil for your part in place of sorrow.

bbe@Job:36:24 @See that you give praise to his work, about which men make songs.

bbe@Job:37:2 @Give ear to the rolling noise of his voice; to the hollow sound which goes out of his mouth.

bbe@Job:37:4 @After it a voice is sounding, thundering out the word of his power; he does not keep back his thunder-flames; from his mouth his voice is sounding.

bbe@Job:37:7 @He puts an end to the work of every man, so that all may see his work.

bbe@Job:37:17 @You, whose clothing is warm, when the earth is quiet because of the south wind,

bbe@Job:38:7 @When the morning stars made songs together, and all the sons of the gods gave cries of joy?

bbe@Job:38:11 @And said, So far you may come, and no farther; and here the pride of your waves will be stopped?

bbe@Job:38:13 @So that it might take a grip of the skirts of the earth, shaking all the evil-doers out of it?

bbe@Job:38:20 @So that you might take it to its limit, guiding it to its house?

bbe@Job:38:34 @Is your voice sent up to the cloud, so that you may be covered by the weight of waters?

bbe@Job:38:35 @Do you send out the thunder-flames, so that they may go, and say to you, Here we are?

bbe@Job:38:39 @Do you go after food for the she-lion, or get meat so that the young lions may have enough,

bbe@Job:39:20 @Is it through you that he is shaking like a locust, in the pride of his loud-sounding breath?

bbe@Job:39:23 @The bow is sounding against him; he sees the shining point of spear and arrow.

bbe@Job:39:24 @Shaking with passion, he is biting the earth; he is not able to keep quiet at the sound of the horn;

bbe@Job:39:26 @Is it through your knowledge that the hawk takes his flight, stretching out his wings to the south?

bbe@Job:40:4 @I have said once, and even twice, what was in my mind, but I will not do so again.

bbe@Job:40:10 @Let your wrath be overflowing; let your eyes see all the sons of pride, and make them low.

bbe@Job:41:3 @Will he make prayers to you, or say soft words to you?

bbe@Job:41:4 @Will he make an agreement with you, so that you may take him as a servant for ever?

bbe@Job:41:10 @He is so cruel that no one is ready to go against him. Who then is able to keep his place before me?

bbe@Job:41:16 @One is so near to the other that no air may come between them.

bbe@Job:41:17 @They take a grip of one another; they are joined together, so that they may not be parted.

bbe@Job:41:27 @Iron is to him as dry grass, and brass as soft wood.

bbe@Job:41:32 @After him his way is shining, so that the deep seems white.

bbe@Job:41:34 @Everything which is high goes in fear of him; he is king over all the sons of pride.

bbe@Job:42:6 @For this cause I give witness that what I said is false, and in sorrow I take my seat in the dust.

bbe@Job:42:12 @And the Lord's blessing was greater on the end of Job's life than on its start: and so he came to have fourteen thousand sheep and goats, and six thousand camels, and two thousand oxen, and a thousand she-asses.

bbe@Job:42:13 @And he had seven sons and three daughters.

bbe@Job:42:15 @And there were no women so beautiful as the daughters of Job in all the earth: and their father gave them a heritage among their brothers.

bbe@Job:42:16 @And after this Job had a hundred and forty years of life, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.

bbe@Psalms:1:4 @The evil-doers are not so; but are like the dust from the grain, which the wind takes away.

bbe@Psalms:2:1 @Why are the nations so violently moved, and why are the thoughts of the people so foolish?

bbe@Psalms:2:7 @I will make clear the Lord's decision: he has said to me, You are my son, this day have I given you being.

bbe@Proverbs:5:2 @So that you may be ruled by a wise purpose, and your lips may keep knowledge.

bbe@Proverbs:5:7 @Give ear to me then, my sons, and do not put away my words from you.

bbe@Proverbs:5:20 @Why let yourself, my son, go out of the way with a strange woman, and take another woman in your arms?

bbe@Proverbs:5:22 @The evil-doer will be taken in the net of his crimes, and prisoned in the cords of his sin.

bbe@Proverbs:5:23 @He will come to his end for need of teaching; he is so foolish that he will go wandering from the right way.

bbe@Proverbs:6:1 @My son, if you have made yourself responsible for your neighbour, or given your word for another,

bbe@Proverbs:6:3 @Do this, my son, and make yourself free, because you have come into the power of your neighbour; go without waiting, and make a strong request to your neighbour.

bbe@Proverbs:6:20 @My son, keep the rule of your father, and have in memory the teaching of your mother:

bbe@Proverbs:6:25 @Let not your heart's desire go after her fair body; let not her eyes take you prisoner.

bbe@Proverbs:6:29 @So it is with him who goes in to his neighbour's wife; he who has anything to do with her will not go free from punishment.

bbe@Proverbs:6:32 @He who takes another man's wife is without all sense: he who does it is the cause of destruction to his soul.

bbe@Proverbs:7:1 @My son, keep my sayings, and let my rules be stored up with you.

bbe@Proverbs:7:5 @So that they may keep you from the strange woman, even from her whose words are smooth.

bbe@Proverbs:7:13 @So she took him by his hand, kissing him, and without a sign of shame she said to him:

bbe@Proverbs:7:15 @So I came out in the hope of meeting you, looking for you with care, and now I have you.

bbe@Proverbs:7:24 @So now, my sons, give ear to me; give attention to the sayings of my mouth;

bbe@Proverbs:8:1 @Is not wisdom crying out, and the voice of knowledge sounding?

bbe@Proverbs:8:4 @I am crying out to you, O men; my voice comes to the sons of men.

bbe@Proverbs:8:5 @Become expert in reason, O you simple ones; you foolish ones, take training to heart.

bbe@Proverbs:8:11 @For wisdom is better than jewels, and all things which may be desired are nothing in comparison with her.

bbe@Proverbs:8:14 @Wise design and good sense are mine; reason and strength are mine.

bbe@Proverbs:8:21 @So that I may give my lovers wealth for their heritage, making their store-houses full.

bbe@Proverbs:8:29 @When he put a limit to the sea, so that the waters might not go against his word: when he put in position the bases of the earth:

bbe@Proverbs:8:31 @Playing in his earth; and my delight was with the sons of men.

bbe@Proverbs:8:32 @Give ear to me then, my sons: for happy are those who keep my ways.

bbe@Proverbs:8:36 @But he who does evil to me, does wrong to his soul: all my haters are in love with death.

bbe@Proverbs:10:1 @A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish son is a sorrow to his mother.

bbe@Proverbs:10:5 @He who in summer gets together his store is a son who does wisely; but he who takes his rest when the grain is being cut is a son causing shame.

bbe@Proverbs:10:6 @Blessings are on the head of the upright, but the face of sinners will be covered with sorrow.

bbe@Proverbs:10:26 @Like acid drink to the teeth and as smoke to the eyes, so is the hater of work to those who send him.

bbe@Proverbs:10:28 @The hope of the upright man will give joy, but the waiting of the evil-doer will have its end in sorrow.

bbe@Proverbs:11:19 @So righteousness gives life; but he who goes after evil gets death for himself.

bbe@Proverbs:11:30 @The fruit of righteousness is a tree of life, but violent behaviour takes away souls.

bbe@Proverbs:12:18 @There are some whose uncontrolled talk is like the wounds of a sword, but the tongue of the wise makes one well again.

bbe@Proverbs:13:1 @A wise son is a lover of teaching, but the ears of the haters of authority are shut to sharp words.

bbe@Proverbs:13:4 @The hater of work does not get his desires, but the soul of the hard workers will be made fat.

bbe@Proverbs:13:19 @To get one's desire is sweet to the soul, but to give up evil is disgusting to the foolish.

bbe@Proverbs:13:24 @He who keeps back his rod is unkind to his son: the loving father gives punishment with care.

bbe@Proverbs:14:10 @No one has knowledge of a man's grief but himself; and a strange person has no part in his joy.

bbe@Proverbs:14:13 @Even while laughing the heart may be sad; and after joy comes sorrow.

bbe@Proverbs:15:1 @By a soft answer wrath is turned away, but a bitter word is a cause of angry feelings.

bbe@Proverbs:15:13 @A glad heart makes a shining face, but by the sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.

bbe@Proverbs:15:20 @A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish man has no respect for his mother.

bbe@Proverbs:15:32 @He who will not be controlled by training has no respect for his soul, but he who gives ear to teaching will get wisdom.

bbe@Proverbs:16:17 @The highway of the upright is to be turned away from evil: he who takes care of his way will keep his soul.

bbe@Proverbs:16:24 @Pleasing words are like honey, sweet to the soul and new life to the bones.

bbe@Proverbs:17:2 @A servant who does wisely will have rule over a son causing shame, and will have his part in the heritage among brothers.

bbe@Proverbs:17:11 @An uncontrolled man is only looking for trouble, so a cruel servant will be sent against him.

bbe@Proverbs:17:14 @The start of fighting is like the letting out of water: so give up before it comes to blows.

bbe@Proverbs:17:21 @He who has an unwise son gets sorrow for himself, and the father of a foolish son has no joy.

bbe@Proverbs:17:25 @A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitter pain to her who gave him birth.

bbe@Proverbs:18:5 @To have respect for the person of the evil-doer is not good, or to give a wrong decision against the upright.

bbe@Proverbs:18:7 @The mouth of a foolish man is his destruction, and his lips are a net for his soul.

bbe@Proverbs:19:6 @Great numbers will make attempts to get the approval of a ruler: and every man is the special friend of him who has something to give.

bbe@Proverbs:19:8 @He who gets wisdom has love for his soul: he who keeps good sense will get what is truly good.

bbe@Proverbs:19:13 @A foolish son is the destruction of his father; and the bitter arguments of a wife are like drops of rain falling without end.

bbe@Proverbs:19:16 @He who keeps the law keeps his soul; but death will be the fate of him who takes no note of the word.

bbe@Proverbs:19:18 @Give your son training while there is hope; let not your heart be purposing his death.

bbe@Proverbs:19:20 @Let your ear be open to suggestion and take teaching, so that at the end you may be wise.

bbe@Proverbs:19:26 @He who is violent to his father, driving away his mother, is a son causing shame and a bad name.

bbe@Proverbs:19:27 @A son who no longer gives attention to teaching is turned away from the words of knowledge.

bbe@Proverbs:20:4 @The hater of work will not do his ploughing because of the winter; so at the time of grain-cutting he will be requesting food and will get nothing.

bbe@Proverbs:20:19 @He who goes about talking of the business of others gives away secrets: so have nothing to do with him whose lips are open wide.

bbe@Proverbs:21:23 @He who keeps watch over his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles.

bbe@Proverbs:21:24 @The man of pride, lifted up in soul, is named high-hearted; he is acting in an outburst of pride.

bbe@Proverbs:22:5 @Thorns and nets are in the way of the twisted: he who keeps watch over his soul will be far from them.

bbe@Proverbs:22:8 @By planting the seed of evil a man will get in the grain of sorrow, and the rod of his wrath will be broken.

bbe@Proverbs:22:19 @So that your faith may be in the Lord, I have made them clear to you this day, even to you.

bbe@Proverbs:22:21 @To make you see how certain are true words, so that you may give a true answer to those who put questions to you?

bbe@Proverbs:22:25 @For fear of learning his ways and making a net ready for your soul.

bbe@Proverbs:22:29 @Have you seen a man who is expert in his business? he will take his place before kings; his place will not be among low persons.

bbe@Proverbs:23:7 @For as the thoughts of his heart are, so is he: Take food and drink, he says to you; but his heart is not with you.

bbe@Proverbs:23:14 @Give him blows with the rod, and keep his soul safe from the underworld.

bbe@Proverbs:23:15 @My son, if your heart becomes wise, I, even I, will be glad in heart;

bbe@Proverbs:23:19 @Give ear, my son, and be wise, guiding your heart in the right way.

bbe@Proverbs:23:26 @My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes take delight in my ways.

bbe@Proverbs:23:32 @In the end, its bite is like that of a snake, its wound like the wound of a poison-snake.

bbe@Proverbs:24:3 @The building of a house is by wisdom, and by reason it is made strong:

bbe@Proverbs:24:12 @If you say, See, we had no knowledge of this: does not the tester of hearts give thought to it? and he who keeps your soul, has he no knowledge of it? and will he not give to every man the reward of his work?

bbe@Proverbs:24:13 @My son, take honey, for it is good; and the flowing honey, which is sweet to your taste:

bbe@Proverbs:24:14 @So let your desire be for wisdom: if you have it, there will be a future, and your hope will not be cut off.

bbe@Proverbs:24:21 @My son, go in fear of the Lord and the king: have nothing to do with those who are in high positions:

bbe@Proverbs:24:23 @These are more sayings of the wise: To have respect for a person's position when judging is not good.

bbe@Proverbs:24:34 @So loss will come on you like an outlaw, and your need like an armed man.

bbe@Proverbs:25:1 @These are more wise sayings of Solomon, copied out by the men of Hezekiah, king of Judah.

bbe@Proverbs:25:13 @As the cold of snow in the time of grain-cutting, so is a true servant to those who send him; for he gives new life to the soul of his master.

bbe@Proverbs:25:14 @As clouds and wind without rain, so is one who takes credit for an offering he has not given.

bbe@Proverbs:25:15 @A judge is moved by one who for a long time undergoes wrongs without protest, and by a soft tongue even bone is broken.

bbe@Proverbs:25:22 @For so you will put coals of fire on his head, and the Lord will give you your reward.

bbe@Proverbs:25:23 @As the north wind gives birth to rain, so is an angry face caused by a tongue saying evil secretly.

bbe@Proverbs:25:25 @As cold water to a tired soul, so is good news from a far country.

bbe@Proverbs:25:27 @It is not good to take much honey: so he who is not looking for honour will be honoured.

bbe@Proverbs:26:1 @Like snow in summer and rain when the grain is being cut, so honour is not natural for the foolish.

bbe@Proverbs:26:2 @As the sparrow in her wandering and the swallow in her flight, so the curse does not come without a cause.

bbe@Proverbs:26:7 @The legs of one who has no power of walking are hanging loose; so is a wise saying in the mouth of the foolish.

bbe@Proverbs:26:9 @Like a thorn which goes up into the hand of a man overcome by drink, so is a wise saying in the mouth of a foolish man.

bbe@Proverbs:26:19 @So is the man who gets the better of his neighbour by deceit, and says, Am I not doing so in sport?

bbe@Proverbs:26:21 @Like breath on coals and wood on fire, so a man given to argument gets a fight started.

bbe@Proverbs:27:9 @Oil and perfume make glad the heart, and the wise suggestion of a friend is sweet to the soul.

bbe@Proverbs:27:11 @My son, be wise and make my heart glad, so that I may give back an answer to him who puts me to shame.

bbe@Proverbs:27:17 @Iron makes iron sharp; so a man makes sharp his friend.

bbe@Proverbs:27:19 @Like face looking at face in water, so are the hearts of men to one another.

bbe@Proverbs:28:7 @He who keeps the law is a wise son, but he who keeps company with feasters puts shame on his father.

bbe@Proverbs:28:19 @By ploughing his land a man will have bread in full measure; but he who goes after good-for-nothing persons will be poor enough.

bbe@Proverbs:29:10 @Men of blood are haters of the good man, and evil-doers go after his soul.

bbe@Proverbs:29:17 @Give your son training, and he will give you rest; he will give delight to your soul

bbe@Proverbs:29:21 @If a servant is gently cared for from his early years, he will become a cause of sorrow in the end.

bbe@Proverbs:29:24 @A man who takes part with a thief has hate for his soul; he is put under oath, but says nothing.

bbe@Proverbs:30:1 @The words of Agur, the son of Jakeh, from Massa. The man says: I am full of weariness, O God, I am full of weariness; O God, I have come to an end:

bbe@Proverbs:30:2 @For I am more like a beast than any man, I have no power of reasoning like a man:

bbe@Proverbs:30:3 @I have not got wisdom by teaching, so that I might have the knowledge of the Holy One.

bbe@Proverbs:30:4 @Who has gone up to heaven and come down? who has taken the winds in his hands, prisoning the waters in his robe? by whom have all the ends of the earth been fixed? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if you are able to say?

bbe@Proverbs:30:33 @The shaking of milk makes butter, and the twisting of the nose makes blood come: so the forcing of wrath is a cause of fighting.

bbe@Proverbs:31:2 @What am I to say to you, O Lemuel, my oldest son? and what, O son of my body? and what, O son of my oaths?

bbe@Proverbs:31:6 @Give strong drink to him who is near to destruction, and wine to him whose soul is bitter:

bbe@Ecclesiastes:1:1 @The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:1:6 @The wind goes to the south, turning back again to the north; circling round for ever.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:1:13 @And I gave my heart to searching out in wisdom all things which are done under heaven: it is a hard thing which God has put on the sons of men to do.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:1:18 @Because in much wisdom is much grief, and increase of knowledge is increase of sorrow.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:1 @I said in my heart, I will give you joy for a test; so take your pleasure--but it was to no purpose.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:3 @I made a search with my heart to give pleasure to my flesh with wine, still guiding my heart with wisdom, and to go after foolish things, so that I might see what was good for the sons of men to do under the heavens all the days of their life.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:5 @I made myself gardens and fruit gardens, planting in them fruit-trees of all sorts.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:7 @I got men-servants and women-servants, and they gave birth to sons and daughters in my house. I had great wealth of herds and flocks, more than all who were in Jerusalem before me.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:8 @I got together silver and gold and the wealth of kings and of countries. I got makers of song, male and female; and the delights of the sons of men--girls of all sorts to be my brides.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:15 @Then said I in my heart: As it comes to the foolish man, so will it come to me; so why have I been wise overmuch? Then I said in my heart: This again is to no purpose.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:17 @So I was hating life, because everything under the sun was evil to me: all is to no purpose and desire for wind.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:20 @So my mind was turned to grief for all the trouble I had taken and all my wisdom under the sun.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:23 @All his days are sorrow, and his work is full of grief. Even in the night his heart has no rest. This again is to no purpose.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:3:4 @A time for weeping and a time for laughing; a time for sorrow and a time for dancing;

bbe@Ecclesiastes:3:10 @I saw the work which God has put on the sons of man

bbe@Ecclesiastes:3:11 @He has made everything right in its time; but he has made their hearts without knowledge, so that man is unable to see the works of God, from the first to the last.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:3:14 @I am certain that whatever God does will be for ever. No addition may be made to it, nothing may be taken from it; and God has done it so that man may be in fear before him.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:3:18 @I said in my heart, It is because of the sons of men, so that God may put them to the test and that they may see themselves as beasts.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:3:19 @Because the fate of the sons of men and the fate of the beasts is the same. As is the death of one so is the death of the other, and all have one spirit. Man is not higher than the beasts; because all is to no purpose.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:3:21 @Who is certain that the spirit of the sons of men goes up to heaven, or that the spirit of the beasts goes down to the earth?

bbe@Ecclesiastes:3:22 @So I saw that there is nothing better than for a man to have joy in his work--because that is his reward. Who will make him see what will come after him?

bbe@Ecclesiastes:4:2 @So my praise was for the dead who have gone to their death, more than for the living who still have life.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:4:8 @It is one who is by himself, without a second, and without son or brother; but there is no end to all his work, and he has never enough of wealth. For whom, then, am I working and keeping myself from pleasure? This again is to no purpose, and a bitter work.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:4:11 @So again, if two are sleeping together they are warm, but how may one be warm by himself?

bbe@Ecclesiastes:4:14 @Because out of a prison the young man comes to be king, though by birth he was only a poor man in the kingdom.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:5:2 @Be not unwise with your mouth, and let not your heart be quick to say anything before God, because God is in heaven and you are on the earth--so let not the number of your words be great.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:5:3 @As a dream comes from much business, so the voice of a foolish man comes with words in great number.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:5:6 @Let not your mouth make your flesh do evil. And say not before the angel, It was an error. So that God may not be angry with your words and put an end to the work of your hands.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:5:14 @And I saw the destruction of his wealth by an evil chance; and when he became the father of a son he had nothing in his hand.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:5:15 @As he came from his mother at birth, so does he go again; he gets from his work no reward which he may take away in his hand.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:5:16 @And this again is a great evil, that in all points as he came so will he go; and what profit has he in working for the wind?

bbe@Ecclesiastes:5:17 @All his days are in the dark, and he has much sorrow, pain, disease, and trouble.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:6:2 @A man to whom God gives money, wealth, and honour so that he has all his desires but God does not give him the power to have joy of it, and a strange man takes it. This is to no purpose and an evil disease.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:6:3 @If a man has a hundred children, and his life is long so that the days of his years are great in number, but his soul takes no pleasure in good, and he is not honoured at his death; I say that a birth before its time is better than he.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:7:3 @Sorrow is better than joy; when the face is sad the mind gets better.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:7:5 @It is better to take note of the protest of the wise, than for a man to give ear to the song of the foolish.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:7:6 @Like the cracking of thorns under a pot, so is the laugh of a foolish man; and this again is to no purpose.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:7:14 @In the day of wealth have joy, but in the day of evil take thought: God has put the one against the other, so that man may not be certain what will be after him.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:7:25 @I gave my mind to knowledge and to searching for wisdom and the reason of things, and to the discovery that sin is foolish, and that to be foolish is to be without one's senses.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:7:28 @For which my soul is still searching, but I have it not; one man among a thousand have I seen; but a woman among all these I have not seen.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:7:29 @This only have I seen, that God made men upright, but they have been searching out all sorts of inventions.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:8:6 @For every purpose there is a time and a decision, because the sorrow of man is great in him.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:8:11 @Because punishment for an evil work comes not quickly, the minds of the sons of men are fully given to doing evil.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:8:15 @So I gave praise to joy, because there is nothing better for a man to do under the sun than to take meat and drink and be happy; for that will be with him in his work all the days of his life which God gives him under the sun.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:9:2 @Because to all there is one event, to the upright man and to the evil, to the clean and to the unclean, to him who makes an offering and to him who makes no offering; as is the good so is the sinner; he who takes an oath is as he who has fear of it.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:9:3 @This is evil in all things which are done under the sun: that there is one fate for all, and the hearts of the sons of men are full of evil; while they have life their hearts are foolish, and after that--to the dead.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:9:12 @Even man has no knowledge of his time; like fishes taken in an evil net, or like birds taken by deceit, are the sons of men taken in an evil time when it comes suddenly on them.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:11:3 @If the clouds are full of rain, they send it down on the earth; and if a tree comes down to the south, or the north, in whatever place it comes down, there it will be.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:11:5 @As you have no knowledge of the way of the wind, or of the growth of the bones in the body of her who is with child, even so you have no knowledge of the works of God who has made all.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:11:10 @So put away trouble from your heart, and sorrow from your flesh; because the early years and the best years are to no purpose.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:12:4 @When the doors are shut in the street, and the sound of the crushing is low, and the voice of the bird is soft, and the daughters of music will be made low;

bbe@Ecclesiastes:12:5 @And he is in fear of that which is high, and danger is in the road, and the tree is white with flower, and the least thing is a weight, and desire is at an end, because man goes to his last resting-place, and those who are sorrowing are in the streets;

bbe@Ecclesiastes:12:12 @And further, my son, take note of this: of the making of books there is no end, and much learning is a weariness to the flesh.

bbe@Songs:1:1 @The song of Songs, which is Solomon's.

bbe@Songs:1:2 @Let him give me the kisses of his mouth: for his love is better than wine.

bbe@Songs:1:3 @Sweet is the smell of your perfumes; your name is as perfume running out; so the young girls give you their love.

bbe@Songs:1:4 @Take me to you, and we will go after you: the king has taken me into his house. We will be glad and full of joy in you, we will give more thought to your love than to wine: rightly are they your lovers.

bbe@Songs:1:5 @I am dark, but fair of form, O daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.

bbe@Songs:1:6 @Let not your eyes be turned on me, because I am dark, because I was looked on by the sun; my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vine-gardens; but my vine-garden I have not kept.

bbe@Songs:1:7 @Say, O love of my soul, where you give food to your flock, and where you make them take their rest in the heat of the day; why have I to be as one wandering by the flocks of your friends?

bbe@Songs:1:8 @If you have not knowledge, O most beautiful among women, go on your way in the footsteps of the flock, and give your young goats food by the tents of the keepers.

bbe@Songs:1:9 @I have made a comparison of you, O my love, to a horse in Pharaoh's carriages.

bbe@Songs:1:10 @Your face is a delight with rings of hair, your neck with chains of jewels.

bbe@Songs:1:11 @We will make you chains of gold with ornaments of silver.

bbe@Songs:1:12 @While the king is seated at his table, my spices send out their perfume.

bbe@Songs:1:13 @As a bag of myrrh is my well-loved one to me, when he is at rest all night between my breasts.

bbe@Songs:1:14 @My love is to me as a branch of the cypress-tree in the vine-gardens of En-gedi.

bbe@Songs:1:15 @See, you are fair, my love, you are fair; you have the eyes of a dove.

bbe@Songs:1:16 @See, you are fair, my loved one, and a pleasure; our bed is green.

bbe@Songs:1:17 @Cedar-trees are the pillars of our house; and our boards are made of fir-trees.

bbe@Songs:2:1 @I am a rose of Sharon, a flower of the valleys.

bbe@Songs:2:2 @As the lily-flower among the thorns of the waste, so is my love among the daughters.

bbe@Songs:2:3 @As the apple-tree among the trees of the wood, so is my loved one among the sons. I took my rest under his shade with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.

bbe@Songs:2:4 @He took me to the house of wine, and his flag over me was love.

bbe@Songs:2:5 @Make me strong with wine-cakes, let me be comforted with apples; I am overcome with love.

bbe@Songs:2:6 @His left hand is under my head, and his right hand is round about me.

bbe@Songs:2:7 @I say to you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes of the field, do not let love be moved till it is ready.

bbe@Songs:2:8 @The voice of my loved one! See, he comes dancing on the mountains, stepping quickly on the hills.

bbe@Songs:2:9 @My loved one is like a roe; see, he is on the other side of our wall, he is looking in at the windows, letting himself be seen through the spaces.

bbe@Songs:2:10 @My loved one said to me, Get up, my love, my fair one, and come away.

bbe@Songs:2:11 @For, see, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;

bbe@Songs:2:12 @The flowers are come on the earth; the time of cutting the vines is come, and the voice of the dove is sounding in our land;

bbe@Songs:2:13 @The fig-tree puts out her green fruit and the vines with their young fruit give a good smell. Get up from your bed, my beautiful one, and come away.

bbe@Songs:2:14 @O my dove, you are in the holes of the mountain sides, in the cracks of the high hills; let me see your face, let your voice come to my ears; for sweet is your voice, and your face is fair.

bbe@Songs:2:15 @Take for us the foxes, the little foxes, which do damage to the vines; our vines have young grapes.

bbe@Songs:2:16 @My loved one is mine, and I am his: he takes his food among the flowers.

bbe@Songs:2:17 @Till the evening comes, and the sky slowly becomes dark, come, my loved one, and be like a roe on the mountains of Bether.

bbe@Songs:3:1 @By night on my bed I was looking for him who is the love of my soul: I was looking for him, but I did not see him.

bbe@Songs:3:2 @I will get up now and go about the town, in the streets and in the wide ways I will go after him who is the love of my soul: I went after him, but I did not see him.

bbe@Songs:3:3 @The watchmen who go about the town came by me; to them I said, Have you seen him who is my heart's desire?

bbe@Songs:3:4 @I was but a little way from them, when I came face to face with him who is the love of my soul. I took him by the hands, and did not let him go, till I had taken him into my mother's house, and into the room of her who gave me birth.

bbe@Songs:3:5 @I say to you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes of the field, let not love be moved till it is ready.

bbe@Songs:3:6 @Who is this coming out of the waste places like pillars of smoke, perfumed with sweet spices, with all the spices of the trader?

bbe@Songs:3:7 @See, it is the bed of Solomon; sixty men of war are about it, of the army of Israel,

bbe@Songs:3:8 @All of them armed with swords, trained in war; every man has his sword at his side, because of fear in the night.

bbe@Songs:3:9 @King Solomon made himself a bed of the wood of Lebanon.

bbe@Songs:3:10 @He made its pillars of silver, its base of gold, its seat of purple, the middle of it of ebony

bbe@Songs:3:11 @Go out, O daughters of Jerusalem, and see King Solomon, with the crown which his mother put on his head on the day when he was married, and on the day of the joy of his heart.

bbe@Songs:4:1 @See, you are fair, my love, you are fair; you have the eyes of a dove; your hair is as a flock of goats, which take their rest on the side of Gilead.

bbe@Songs:4:2 @Your teeth are like a flock of sheep whose wool is newly cut, which come up from the washing; every one has two lambs, and there is not one without young.

bbe@Songs:4:3 @Your red lips are like a bright thread, and your mouth is fair of form; the sides of your head are like pomegranate fruit under your veil.

bbe@Songs:4:4 @Your neck is like the tower of David made for a store-house of arms, in which a thousand breastplates are hanging, breastplates for fighting-men.

bbe@Songs:4:5 @Your two breasts are like two young roes of the same birth, which take their food among the lilies.

bbe@Songs:4:6 @Till the evening comes, and the sky slowly becomes dark, I will go to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.

bbe@Songs:4:7 @You are all fair, my love; there is no mark on you.

bbe@Songs:4:8 @Come with me from Lebanon, my bride, with me from Lebanon; see from the top of Amana, from the top of Senir and Hermon, from the places of the lions, from the mountains of the leopards.

bbe@Songs:4:9 @You have taken away my heart, my sister, my bride; you have taken away my heart, with one look you have taken it, with one chain of your neck!

bbe@Songs:4:10 @How fair is your love, my sister! How much better is your love than wine, and the smell of your oils than any perfume!

bbe@Songs:4:11 @Your lips are dropping honey; honey and milk are under your tongue; and the smell of your clothing is like the smell of Lebanon.

bbe@Songs:4:12 @A garden walled-in is my sister, my bride; a garden shut up, a spring of water stopped.

bbe@Songs:4:13 @The produce of the garden is pomegranates; with all the best fruits, henna and spikenard,

bbe@Songs:4:14 @Spikenard and safron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices.

bbe@Songs:4:15 @You are a fountain of gardens, a spring of living waters, and flowing waters from Lebanon.

bbe@Songs:4:16 @Be awake, O north wind; and come, O south, blowing on my garden, so that its spices may come out. Let my loved one come into his garden, and take of his good fruits.

bbe@Songs:5:1 @I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride; to take my myrrh with my spice; my wax with my honey; my wine with my milk. Take meat, O friends; take wine, yes, be overcome with love.

bbe@Songs:5:2 @I am sleeping, but my heart is awake; it is the sound of my loved one at the door, saying, Be open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my very beautiful one; my head is wet with dew, and my hair with the drops of the night.

bbe@Songs:5:3 @I have put off my coat; how may I put it on? My feet are washed; how may I make them unclean?

bbe@Songs:5:4 @My loved one put his hand on the door, and my heart was moved for him.

bbe@Songs:5:5 @I got up to let my loved one in; and my hands were dropping with myrrh, and my fingers with liquid myrrh, on the lock of the door.

bbe@Songs:5:6 @I made the door open to my loved one; but my loved one had taken himself away, and was gone, my soul was feeble when his back was turned on me; I went after him, but I did not come near him; I said his name, but he gave me no answer.

bbe@Songs:5:7 @The keepers who go about the town overtook me; they gave me blows and wounds; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me.

bbe@Songs:5:8 @I say to you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you see my loved one, what will you say to him? That I am overcome with love.

bbe@Songs:5:9 @What is your loved one more than another, O fairest among women? What is your loved one more than another, that you say this to us?

bbe@Songs:5:10 @My loved one is white and red, the chief among ten thousand.

bbe@Songs:5:11 @His head is as the most delicate gold; his hair is thick, and black as a raven.

bbe@Songs:5:12 @His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the water streams, washed with milk, and rightly placed

bbe@Songs:5:13 @His face is as beds of spices, giving out perfumes of every sort; his lips like lilies, dropping liquid myrrh.

bbe@Songs:5:14 @His hands are as rings of gold ornamented with beryl-stones; his body is as a smooth plate of ivory covered with sapphires.

bbe@Songs:5:15 @His legs are as pillars of stone on a base of delicate gold; his looks are as Lebanon, beautiful as the cedar-tree.

bbe@Songs:5:16 @His mouth is most sweet; yes, he is all beautiful. This is my loved one, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.

bbe@Songs:6:1 @Where is your loved one gone, O most fair among women? Where is your loved one turned away, that we may go looking for him with you?

bbe@Songs:6:2 @My loved one is gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, to take food in the gardens, and to get lilies.

bbe@Songs:6:3 @I am for my loved one, and my loved one is for me; he takes food among the lilies.

bbe@Songs:6:4 @You are beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, as fair as Jerusalem; you are to be feared like an army with flags.

bbe@Songs:6:5 @Let your eyes be turned away from me; see, they have overcome me; your hair is as a flock of goats which take their rest on the side of Gilead.

bbe@Songs:6:6 @Your teeth are like a flock of sheep which come up from the washing; every one has two lambs, and there is not one without young.

bbe@Songs:6:7 @Like pomegranate fruit are the sides of your head under your veil.

bbe@Songs:6:8 @There are sixty queens, and eighty servant-wives, and young girls without number.

bbe@Songs:6:9 @My dove, my very beautiful one, is but one; she is the only one of her mother, she is the dearest one of her who gave her birth. The daughters saw her, and gave her a blessing; yes, the queens and the servant-wives, and they gave her praises.

bbe@Songs:6:10 @Who is she, looking down as the morning light, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, who is to be feared like an army with flags?

bbe@Songs:6:11 @I went down into the garden of nuts to see the green plants of the valley, and to see if the vine was in bud, and the pomegranate-trees were in flower.

bbe@Songs:6:12 @Before I was conscious of it,...

bbe@Songs:6:13 @Come back, come back, O Shulammite; come back, come back, so that our eyes may see you. What will you see in the Shulammite? A sword-dance.

bbe@Songs:7:1 @How beautiful are your feet in their shoes, O king's daughter! The curves of your legs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a good workman:

bbe@Songs:7:2 @Your stomach is a store of grain with lilies round it, and in the middle a round cup full of wine.

bbe@Songs:7:3 @Your two breasts are like two young roes of the same birth.

bbe@Songs:7:4 @Your neck is as a tower of ivory; your eyes like the waters in Heshbon, by the doorway of Bath-rabbim; your nose is as the tower on Lebanon looking over Damascus:

bbe@Songs:7:5 @Your head is like Carmel, and the hair of your head is like purple, in whose net the king is prisoner.

bbe@Songs:7:6 @How beautiful and how sweet you are, O love, for delight.

bbe@Songs:7:7 @You are tall like a palm-tree, and your breasts are like the fruit of the vine.

bbe@Songs:7:8 @I said, Let me go up the palm-tree, and let me take its branches in my hands: your breasts will be as the fruit of the vine, and the smell of your breath like apples;

bbe@Songs:7:9 @And the roof of your mouth like good wine flowing down smoothly for my loved one, moving gently over my lips and my teeth.

bbe@Songs:7:10 @I am for my loved one, and his desire is for me.

bbe@Songs:7:11 @Come, my loved one, let us go out into the field; let us take rest among the cypress-trees.

bbe@Songs:7:12 @Let us go out early to the vine-gardens; let us see if the vine is in bud, if it has put out its young fruit, and the pomegranate is in flower. There I will give you my love.

bbe@Songs:7:13 @The mandrakes give out a sweet smell, and at our doors are all sorts of good fruits, new and old, which I have kept for my loved one.

bbe@Songs:8:1 @Oh that you were my brother, who took milk from my mother's breasts! When I came to you in the street, I would give you kisses; yes, I would not be looked down on.

bbe@Songs:8:2 @I would take you by the hand into my mother's house, and she would be my teacher. I would give you drink of spiced wine, drink of the pomegranate.

bbe@Songs:8:3 @His left hand would be under my head, and his right hand about me.

bbe@Songs:8:4 @I say to you, O daughters of Jerusalem, do not let love be moved till it is ready.

bbe@Songs:8:5 @Who is this, who comes up from the waste places, resting on her loved one? It was I who made you awake under the apple-tree, where your mother gave you birth; there she was in pain at your birth.

bbe@Songs:8:6 @Put me as a sign on your heart, as a sign on your arm; love is strong as death, and wrath bitter as the underworld: its coals are coals of fire; violent are its flames.

bbe@Songs:8:7 @Much water may not put out love, or the deep waters overcome it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would be judged a price not great enough.

bbe@Songs:8:8 @We have a young sister, and she has no breasts; what are we to do for our sister in the day when she is given to a man?

bbe@Songs:8:9 @If she is a wall, we will make on her a strong base of silver; and if she is a door, we will let her be shut up with cedar-wood.

bbe@Songs:8:10 @I am a wall, and my breasts are like towers; then was I in his eyes as one to whom good chance had come.

bbe@Songs:8:11 @Solomon had a vine-garden at Baal-hamon; he let out the vine-garden to keepers; every one had to give a thousand bits of silver for its fruit.

bbe@Songs:8:12 @My vine-garden, which is mine, is before me: you, O Solomon, will have the thousand, and those who keep the fruit of them two hundred.

bbe@Songs:8:13 @You who have your resting-place in the gardens, the friends give ear to your voice; make me give ear to it.

bbe@Songs:8:14 @Come quickly, my loved one, and be like a roe on the mountains of spice.

bbe@Isaiah:1:1 @The vision of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, which he saw about Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

bbe@Isaiah:1:9 @If the Lord of armies had not kept some at least of us safe, we would have been like Sodom, and the fate of Gomorrah would have been ours.

bbe@Isaiah:1:10 @Give ear to the word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodom; let your hearts be turned to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah.

bbe@Isaiah:1:13 @Give me no more false offerings; the smoke of burning flesh is disgusting to me, so are your new moons and Sabbaths and your holy meetings.

bbe@Isaiah:1:14 @Your new moons and your regular feasts are a grief to my soul: they are a weight in my spirit; I am crushed under them.

bbe@Isaiah:1:20 @But if your hearts are turned against me, I will send destruction on you by the sword; so the Lord has said.

bbe@Isaiah:1:24 @For this reason the Lord, the Lord of armies, the Strong One of Israel, has said, I will put an end to my haters, and send punishment on those who are against me;

bbe@Isaiah:1:25 @And my hand will again be on you, washing away what is unclean as with soap, and taking away all your false metal;

bbe@Isaiah:2:1 @The word which Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saw about Judah and Jerusalem.

bbe@Isaiah:3:9 @Their respect for a man's position is a witness against them; and their sin is open to the view of all; like that of Sodom, it is not covered. A curse on their soul! for the measure of their sin is full.

bbe@Isaiah:3:16 @Again, the Lord has said, Because the daughters of Zion are full of pride, and go with outstretched necks and wandering eyes, with their foot-chains sounding when they go:

bbe@Isaiah:3:24 @And in the place of sweet spices will be an evil smell, and for a fair band a thick cord; for a well-dressed head there will be the cutting-off of the hair, and for a beautiful robe there will be the clothing of sorrow; the mark of the prisoner in place of the ornaments of the free.

bbe@Isaiah:3:26 @And in the public places of her towns will be sorrow and weeping; and she will be seated on the earth, waste and uncovered.

bbe@Isaiah:4:1 @And in that day seven women will put their hands on one man, saying, There will be no need for you to give us food or clothing, only let us go under your name, so that our shame may be taken away.

bbe@Isaiah:5:1 @Let me make a song about my loved one, a song of love for his vine-garden. My loved one had a vine-garden on a fertile hill:

bbe@Isaiah:5:13 @For this cause my people are taken away as prisoners into strange countries for need of knowledge: and their rulers are wasted for need of food, and their loud-voiced feasters are dry for need of water.

bbe@Isaiah:5:19 @Who say, Let him do his work quickly, let him make it sudden, so that we may see it: let the design of the Holy One of Israel come near, so that it may be clear to us.

bbe@Isaiah:5:24 @For this cause, as the waste of the grain is burned up by tongues of fire, and as the dry grass goes down before the flame, so their root will be like the dry stems of grain, and their flower will go up in dust: because they have gone against the law of the Lord of armies, and have given no honour to the word of the Holy One of Israel.

bbe@Isaiah:5:25 @For this reason the wrath of the Lord has been burning against his people, and his hand has been stretched out against them in punishment, and the hills were shaking, and their dead bodies were like waste in the open places of the town.

bbe@Isaiah:5:29 @The sound of their armies will be like the voice of a lion, and their war-cry like the noise of young lions: with loud cries they will come down on their food and will take it away safely, and there will be no one to take it out of their hands.

bbe@Isaiah:5:30 @And his voice will be loud over him in that day like the sounding of the sea: and if a man's eyes are turned to the earth, it is all dark and full of trouble; and the light is made dark by thick clouds.

bbe@Isaiah:6:4 @And the bases of the door-pillars were shaking at the sound of his cry, and the house was full of smoke.

bbe@Isaiah:7:1 @Now it came about in the days of Ahaz, the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin, the king of Aram, and Pekah, the son of Remaliah, the king of Israel, came up to Jerusalem to make war against it, but were not able to overcome it.

bbe@Isaiah:7:3 @Then the Lord said to Isaiah, Go out now, you and Shear-jashub, your son, and you will come across Ahaz at the end of the stream flowing from the higher pool, in the highway of the washerman's field;

bbe@Isaiah:7:4 @And say to him, Take care and be quiet; have no fear, and do not let your heart be feeble, because of these two ends of smoking fire-wood, because of the bitter wrath of Rezin and Aram, and of the son of Remaliah.

bbe@Isaiah:7:6 @Let us go up against Judah, troubling her, and forcing our way into her, and let us put up a king in her, even the son of Tabeel:

bbe@Isaiah:7:9 @And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If you will not have faith, your kingdom will be broken.

bbe@Isaiah:7:14 @For this cause the Lord himself will give you a sign; a young woman is now with child, and she will give birth to a son, and she will give him the name Immanuel.

bbe@Isaiah:7:18 @And it will be in that day that the Lord will make a piping sound for the fly which is in the end of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee which is in the land of Assyria.

bbe@Isaiah:7:22 @And they will give so much milk that he will be able to have butter for his food: for butter and honey will be the food of all who are still living in the land.

bbe@Isaiah:8:2 @And take true witnesses to the writing, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah, the son of Jeberechiah.

bbe@Isaiah:8:3 @And I went in to my wife, and she became with child, and gave birth to a son. Then the Lord said to me, Give him the name Maher-shalal-hash-baz,

bbe@Isaiah:8:6 @Because this people will have nothing to do with the softly-flowing waters of Shiloah, and have fear of Rezin and Remaliah's son;

bbe@Isaiah:8:19 @And when they say to you, Make request for us to those who have control of spirits, and to those wise in secret arts, who make hollow bird-like sounds; is it not right for a people to make request to their gods, to make request for the living to the dead?

bbe@Isaiah:9:5 @For every boot of the man of war with his sounding step, and the clothing rolled in blood, will be for burning, food for the fire.

bbe@Isaiah:9:6 @For to us a child has come, to us a son is given; and the government has been placed in his hands; and he has been named Wise Guide, Strong God, Father for ever, Prince of Peace.

bbe@Isaiah:10:2 @Who do wrong to the poor in their cause, and take away the right of the crushed among my people, so that they may have the property of widows, and get under their power those who have no father.

bbe@Isaiah:10:11 @So, as I have done to Samaria and her images, I will do to Jerusalem and her images.

bbe@Isaiah:10:14 @And I have put my hands on the wealth of the peoples, as on the place where a bird has put her eggs; and as a man may take the eggs from which a bird has gone, so I have taken all the earth for myself: and not a wing was moved, and not a mouth gave out a sound.

bbe@Isaiah:10:15 @Will the axe say high-sounding words against him who is using it, or the blade be full of pride against him who is cutting with it? As if a rod had the power of shaking him who is using it, or as if a stick might take up him who is not wood.

bbe@Isaiah:10:18 @And he will put an end to the glory of his woods and of his planted fields, soul and body together; and it will be as when a man is wasted by disease.

bbe@Isaiah:10:19 @And the rest of the trees of his wood will be small in number, so that a child may put them down in writing.

bbe@Isaiah:11:8 @And the child at the breast will be playing by the hole of the snake, and the older child will put his hand on the bright eye of the poison-snake.

bbe@Isaiah:11:15 @And the Lord will make the tongue of the Egyptian sea completely dry; and with his burning wind his hand will be stretched out over the River, and it will be parted into seven streams, so that men may go over it with dry feet.

bbe@Isaiah:12:2 @See, God is my salvation; I will have faith in the Lord, without fear: for the Lord Jah is my strength and song; and he has become my salvation.

bbe@Isaiah:12:3 @So with joy will you get water out of the springs of salvation.

bbe@Isaiah:12:5 @Make a song to the Lord; for he has done noble things: give news of them through all the earth.

bbe@Isaiah:12:6 @Let your voice be sounding in a cry of joy, O daughter of Zion, for great is the Holy One of Israel among you.

bbe@Isaiah:13:1 @The word of the Lord about Babylon which Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saw.

bbe@Isaiah:13:2 @Put up a flag on a clear mountain-top, make a loud outcry to them, give directions with the hand, so that they may go into the doors of the great ones.

bbe@Isaiah:13:8 @Their hearts will be full of fear; pains and sorrows will overcome them; they will be in pain like a woman in childbirth; they will be shocked at one another; their faces will be like flames.

bbe@Isaiah:13:12 @I will make men so small in number, that a man will be harder to get than gold, even the best gold of Ophir.

bbe@Isaiah:13:19 @And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beautiful town which is the pride of the Chaldaeans, will be like God's destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.

bbe@Isaiah:14:2 @And the people will take them with them to their place: and the children of Israel will give them a heritage in the Lord's land as men-servants and women-servants, making them prisoners whose prisoners they were; and they will be rulers over their masters.

bbe@Isaiah:14:3 @And it will be, in the day when the Lord gives you rest from your sorrow, and from your trouble, and from the hard yoke which they had put on you,

bbe@Isaiah:14:4 @That you will take up this bitter song against the king of Babylon, and say, How has the cruel overseer come to an end! He who was lifted up in pride is cut off;

bbe@Isaiah:14:7 @All the earth is at rest and is quiet: they are bursting into song.

bbe@Isaiah:14:12 @How great is your fall from heaven, O shining one, son of the morning! How are you cut down to the earth, low among the dead bodies!

bbe@Isaiah:14:17 @Who made the world a waste, overturning its towns; who did not let his prisoners loose from the prison-house

bbe@Isaiah:14:21 @Make ready a place of death for his children, because of the evil-doing of their father; so that they may not come up and take the earth for their heritage, covering the face of the world with waste places.

bbe@Isaiah:14:22 @For I will come up against them, says the Lord of armies, cutting off from Babylon name and offspring, son and son's son, says the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:14:29 @Be not glad, O Philistia, all of you, because the rod which was on you is broken: for out of the snake's root will come a poison-snake, and its fruit will be a winged poison-snake.

bbe@Isaiah:14:31 @Send out a cry, O door! Make sounds of sorrow, O town! All your land has come to nothing, O Philistia; for there comes a smoke out of the north, and everyone keeps his place in the line.

bbe@Isaiah:15:2 @The daughter of Dibon has gone up to the high places, weeping: Moab is sounding her cry of sorrow over Nebo, and over Medeba: everywhere the hair of the head and of the face is cut off.

bbe@Isaiah:15:4 @Heshbon is crying out, and Elealeh; their voice is sounding even to Jahaz: for this cause the heart of Moab is shaking; his soul is shaking with fear.

bbe@Isaiah:16:9 @For this cause my sorrow for the vine of Sibmah will be like the weeping for Jazer: my eyes are dropping water on you, O Heshbon and Elealeh! For they are sounding the war-cry over your summer fruits and the getting in of your grain;

bbe@Isaiah:16:10 @And all joy is gone; no longer are they glad for the fertile field; and in the vine-gardens there are no songs or sounds of joy: the crushing of grapes has come to an end, and its glad cry has been stopped.

bbe@Isaiah:16:11 @For this cause the cords of my heart are sounding for Moab, and I am full of sorrow for Kir-heres.

bbe@Isaiah:17:6 @But it will be like a man shaking an olive-tree, something will still be there, two or three berries on the top of the highest branch, four or five on the outside branches of a fertile tree, says the Lord, the God of Israel.

bbe@Isaiah:17:11 @In the day of your planting you were watching its growth, and in the morning your seed was flowering: but its fruit is wasted away in the day of grief and bitter sorrow.

bbe@Isaiah:17:12 @Ah! the voice of peoples, like the loud sounding of the seas, and the thundering of great nations rushing on like the bursting out of waters!

bbe@Isaiah:18:1 @Ho! land of the sounding of wings, on the other side of the rivers of Ethiopia:

bbe@Isaiah:18:3 @All you peoples of the world, and you who are living on the earth, when a flag is lifted up on the mountains, give attention; and when the horn is sounded, give ear.

bbe@Isaiah:19:3 @And the spirit of Egypt will be troubled in her, and I will make her decisions without effect: and they will be turning to the false gods, and to those who make hollow sounds, and to those who have control of spirits, and to those who are wise in secret arts.

bbe@Isaiah:19:8 @The fishermen will be sad, and all those who put fishing-lines into the Nile will be full of grief, and those whose nets are stretched out on the waters will have sorrow in their hearts.

bbe@Isaiah:19:11 @The chiefs of Zoan are completely foolish; the wisest guides of Pharaoh have become like beasts: how do you say to Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the offspring of early kings?

bbe@Isaiah:20:2 @At that time the word of the Lord came to Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saying, Go, and take off your robe, and your shoes from your feet; and he did so, walking unclothed and without shoes on his feet.

bbe@Isaiah:20:4 @So will the king of Assyria take away the prisoners of Egypt and those forced out of Ethiopia, young and old, unclothed and without shoes, and with backs uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.

bbe@Isaiah:21:1 @The word about the waste land. As storm-winds in the South go rushing through, it comes from the waste land, from the land greatly to be feared.

bbe@Isaiah:21:2 @A vision of fear comes before my eyes; the worker of deceit goes on in his false way, and the waster goes on making waste. Up! Elam; to the attack! Media; I have put an end to her sorrow.

bbe@Isaiah:21:3 @For this cause I am full of bitter grief; pains like the pains of a woman in childbirth have come on me: I am bent down with sorrow at what comes to my ears; I am shocked by what I see.

bbe@Isaiah:21:6 @For so has the Lord said to me, Go, let a watchman be placed; let him give word of what he sees:

bbe@Isaiah:21:16 @For so has the Lord said to me, In a year, by the years of a servant working for payment, all the glory of Kedar will come to an end:

bbe@Isaiah:22:12 @And in that day the Lord, the Lord of armies, was looking for weeping, and cries of sorrow, cutting off of the hair, and putting on the clothing of grief:

bbe@Isaiah:22:15 @The Lord, the Lord of armies, says, Go to this person in authority, this Shebna, who is over the house; who has made himself a resting-place on high, cutting out a place for himself in the rock, and say,

bbe@Isaiah:22:20 @And in that day I will send for my servant, Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah:

bbe@Isaiah:23:1 @The word about Tyre. Let a cry of sorrow go up, O ships of Tarshish, because your strong place is made waste; on the way back from the land of Kittim the news is given to them.

bbe@Isaiah:23:6 @Go over to Tarshish; give cries of sorrow, O men of the sea-land.

bbe@Isaiah:23:14 @Let a cry of sorrow go up, O ships of Tarshish: because your strong place is made waste.

bbe@Isaiah:23:15 @And it will be in that day that Tyre will go out of mind for seventy years, that is, the days of one king: after the end of seventy years it will be for Tyre as in the song of the loose woman.

bbe@Isaiah:23:16 @Take an instrument of music, go about the town, O loose woman who has gone out from the memory of man; make sweet melody with songs, so that you may come back to men's minds.

bbe@Isaiah:24:4 @The earth is sorrowing and wasting away, the world is full of grief and wasting away, the high ones of the earth come to nothing.

bbe@Isaiah:24:7 @The new wine is thin, the vine is feeble, and all the glad-hearted make sounds of grief.

bbe@Isaiah:24:8 @The pleasing sound of all instruments of music has come to an end, and the voices of those who are glad.

bbe@Isaiah:24:9 @There is no more drinking of wine with a song; strong drink will be bitter to those who take it.

bbe@Isaiah:24:10 @The town is waste and broken down: every house is shut up, so that no man may come in.

bbe@Isaiah:24:14 @But those will be making sounds of joy; they will be crying loudly from the sea for the glory of the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:24:16 @From the farthest part of the earth comes the sound of songs, glory to the upright. But I said, I am wasting away, wasting away, the curse is on me! The false ones go on in their false way, yes, they go on acting falsely.

bbe@Isaiah:24:18 @And it will be that he who goes in flight from the sound of fear will be overtaken by death; and he who gets free from death will be taken in the net: for the windows on high are open, and the bases of the earth are shaking.

bbe@Isaiah:24:20 @The earth will be moving uncertainly, like a man overcome by drink; it will be shaking like a tent; and the weight of its sin will be on it, crushing it down so that it will not get up again

bbe@Isaiah:24:22 @And they will be got together, like prisoners in the prison-house; and after a long time they will have their punishment.

bbe@Isaiah:25:5 @As heat by the shade of a cloud, the noise of the men of pride has been made quiet by you; as heat by the shade of a cloud, the song of the cruel ones has been stopped.

bbe@Isaiah:26:1 @In that day will this song be made in the land of Judah: We have a strong town; he will make salvation our walls and towers.

bbe@Isaiah:26:2 @Let the doors be open, so that the upright nation which keeps faith may come in.

bbe@Isaiah:26:8 @We have been waiting for you, O Lord; the desire of our soul is for the memory of your name.

bbe@Isaiah:26:9 @In the night the desire of my soul has been for you; early will my spirit be searching for you; for when your punishments come on the earth, the people of the world will get the knowledge of righteousness.

bbe@Isaiah:26:14 @The dead will not come back to life: their spirits will not come back to earth; for this cause you have sent destruction on them, so that the memory of them is dead.

bbe@Isaiah:26:17 @As a woman with child, whose time is near, is troubled, crying out in her pain; so have we been before you, O Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:26:19 @Your dead will come back; their dead bodies will come to life again. Those in the dust, awaking from their sleep, will send out a song; for your dew is a dew of light, and the earth will give birth to the shades.

bbe@Isaiah:27:2 @In that day it will be said, A vine-garden of delight, make a song about it.

bbe@Isaiah:27:9 @So by this will the sin of Jacob be covered, and this is all the fruit of taking away his punishment; when all the stones of the altar are crushed together, so that the wood pillars and the sun-images will not be put up again.

bbe@Isaiah:27:13 @And it will be in that day that a great horn will be sounded; and those who were wandering in the land of Assyria, and those who had been sent away into the land of Egypt, will come; and they will give worship to the Lord in the holy mountain at Jerusalem

bbe@Isaiah:28:8 @For all the tables are covered with coughed-up food, so that there is not a clean place.

bbe@Isaiah:28:13 @For this cause the word of the Lord will be to them rule after rule, line after line, here a little, there a little; so that they may go on their way, and falling back may be broken, and taken in the net.

bbe@Isaiah:28:21 @For the Lord will come up as on Mount Perazim, he will be moved to wrath as in the valley of Gibeon; so that he may do his work--strange is his work; and give effect to his act--unnatural is his act.

bbe@Isaiah:28:25 @When the face of the earth has been levelled, does he not put in the different sorts of seed, and the grain in lines, and the barley in its place, and the spelt at the edge?

bbe@Isaiah:29:8 @And it will be like a man desiring food, and dreaming that he is feasting; but when he is awake there is nothing in his mouth: or like a man in need of water, dreaming that he is drinking; but when he is awake he is feeble and his soul is full of desire: so will all the nations be which make war on Mount Zion.

bbe@Isaiah:29:22 @For this reason the Lord, the saviour of Abraham, says about the family of Jacob, Jacob will not now be put to shame, or his face be clouded with fear.

bbe@Isaiah:30:6 @The word about the Beasts of the South. Through the land of trouble and grief, the land of the she-lion and the voice of the lion, of the snake and the burning winged snake, they take their wealth on the backs of young asses, and their stores on camels, to a people in whom is no profit.

bbe@Isaiah:30:7 @For there is no use or purpose in the help of Egypt: so I have said about her, She is Rahab, who has come to an end.

bbe@Isaiah:30:8 @Now go, put it in writing before them on a board, and make a record of it in a book, so that it may be for the future, a witness for all time to come.

bbe@Isaiah:30:14 @And he will let it be broken as a potter's vessel is broken: it will be smashed to bits without mercy; so that there will not be a bit in which one may take fire from the fireplace, or water from the spring.

bbe@Isaiah:30:15 @For the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, said, In quiet and rest is your salvation: peace and hope are your strength: but you would not have it so.

bbe@Isaiah:30:16 @Saying, No, for we will go in flight on horses; so you will certainly go in flight: and, We will go on the backs of quick-running beasts; so those who go after you will be quick-footed.

bbe@Isaiah:30:18 @For this cause the Lord will be waiting, so that he may be kind to you; and he will be lifted up, so that he may have mercy on you; for the Lord is a God of righteousness: there is a blessing on all whose hope is in him.

bbe@Isaiah:30:19 @O people, living in Zion, at Jerusalem, your weeping will be ended; he will certainly have mercy on you at the sound of your cry; when it comes to his ear, he will give you an answer

bbe@Isaiah:30:21 @And at your back, when you are turning to the right hand or to the left, a voice will be sounding in your ears, saying, This is the way in which you are to go.

bbe@Isaiah:30:23 @And he will give rain for your seed, so that you may put it in the earth; and you will have bread from the produce of the earth, good and more than enough for your needs: in that day the cattle will get their food in wide grass-lands.

bbe@Isaiah:30:29 @You will have a song, as in the night when a holy feast is kept; and you will be glad in heart, as when they go with music of the pipe to the mountain of the Lord, the Rock of Israel.

bbe@Isaiah:30:30 @And the Lord will send out the sound of his great voice, and they will see his arm stretched out, with the heat of his wrath, and the flame of a burning fire; with a cloud-burst, and storm, and a rain of ice.

bbe@Isaiah:30:32 @And every blow of the rod of his punishment, which the Lord will send on him, will be with the sound of music: and with the waving of his sword the Lord will make war against him.

bbe@Isaiah:31:4 @For the Lord has said to me, As a lion, or a young lion, makes an angry noise over his food, and if a band of herdsmen come out against him, he will not be in fear of their voices, or give up his food for their noise: so the Lord of armies will come down to make war against Mount Zion and its hill.

bbe@Isaiah:31:5 @Like birds with outstretched wings, so will the Lord of armies be a cover to Jerusalem; he will be a cover and salvation for it, going over it he will keep it from danger.

bbe@Isaiah:31:6 @Come back to him who has been so deeply sinned against by the children of Israel.

bbe@Isaiah:32:6 @For the foolish man will say foolish things, having evil thoughts in his heart, working what is unclean, and talking falsely about the Lord, to keep food from him who is in need of it, and water from him whose soul is desiring it.

bbe@Isaiah:32:12 @Have sorrow for the fields, the pleasing fields, the fertile vine;

bbe@Isaiah:33:7 @See, the men of war are sorrowing outside the town: those who came looking for peace are weeping bitterly.

bbe@Isaiah:33:9 @The earth is sorrowing and wasting away; Lebanon is put to shame and has become waste; Sharon is like the Arabah; and in Bashan and Carmel the leaves are falling.

bbe@Isaiah:35:2 @It will be flowering like the rose; it will be full of delight and songs; the glory of Lebanon will be given to it; the pride of Carmel and Sharon: they will see the glory of the Lord, the power of our God.

bbe@Isaiah:35:6 @Then will the feeble-footed be jumping like a roe, and the voice which was stopped will be loud in song: for in the waste land streams will be bursting out, and waters in the dry places.

bbe@Isaiah:35:10 @Even those whom he has made free, will come back again; they will come with songs to Zion; on their heads will be eternal joy; delight and joy will be theirs, and sorrow and sounds of grief will be gone for ever.

bbe@Isaiah:36:3 @And there came out to him Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, who was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder.

bbe@Isaiah:36:6 @See, you are basing your hope on that broken rod of Egypt, which will go into a man's hand if he makes use of it for a support; for so is Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to all who put their faith in him.

bbe@Isaiah:36:22 @Then Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, who was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, came to Hezekiah with their clothing parted as a sign of grief, and gave him an account of what the Rab-shakeh had said.

bbe@Isaiah:37:2 @And he sent Eliakim, who was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and the chief priests, dressed in haircloth, to Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz.

bbe@Isaiah:37:4 @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, has sent to say evil things against the living God, and will make his words come to nothing: so make your prayer for the rest of the people.

bbe@Isaiah:37:5 @So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.

bbe@Isaiah:37:8 @So the Rab-shakeh went back, and when he got there the king of Assyria was making war against Libnah: for it had come to his ears that the king of Assyria had gone away from Lachish.

bbe@Isaiah:37:19 @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@Isaiah:37:20 @But now, O Lord our God, give us salvation from his hand, so that it may be clear to all the kingdoms of the earth that you, and you only, are the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:37:21 @Then Isaiah, the son of Amoz, sent to Hezekiah, saying, The Lord, the God of Israel, says, The prayer you have made to me against Sennacherib, king of Assyria, has come to my ears.

bbe@Isaiah:37:26 @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@Isaiah:37:38 @And it came about, when he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer put him to death with the sword, and they went in flight into the land of Ararat. And Esar-haddon, his son, became king in his place.

bbe@Isaiah:38:1 @In those days Hezekiah was ill and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him, and said to him, The Lord says, Put your house in order; for your death is near.

bbe@Isaiah:38:8 @See, I will make the shade which has gone down on the steps of Ahaz with the sun, go back ten steps. So the shade went back the ten steps by which it had gone down.

bbe@Isaiah:38:14 @I make cries like a bird; I give out sounds of grief like a dove: my eyes are looking up with desire; O Lord, I am crushed, take up my cause.

bbe@Isaiah:38:17 @See, in place of peace my soul had bitter sorrow. but you have kept back my soul from the underworld; for you have put all my sins out of your memory.

bbe@Isaiah:38:20 @O Lord, quickly be my saviour; so we will make my songs to corded instruments all the days of our lives in the house of the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:39:1 @At that time Merodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters with an offering to Hezekiah, because he had news that Hezekiah had been ill, and was well again.

bbe@Isaiah:39:7 @And your sons, even your offspring, will they take away to be unsexed servants in the house of the king of Babylon.

bbe@Isaiah:40:9 @You who give good news to Zion, get up into the high mountain; you who give good news to Jerusalem, let your voice be strong; let it be sounding without fear; say to the towns of Judah, See, your God!

bbe@Isaiah:40:18 @Whom then is God like, in your opinion? or what will you put forward as a comparison with him?

bbe@Isaiah:40:20 @The wise workman makes selection of the mulberry-tree of the offering, a wood which will not become soft; so that the image may be fixed to it and not be moved.

bbe@Isaiah:41:7 @So the metal-worker put heart into the gold-worker, and he who was hammering the metal smooth said kind words to the iron-worker, saying of the plate, It is ready: and he put it together with nails, so that there might be no slipping.

bbe@Isaiah:41:20 @So that they may see and be wise and give their mind to it, and that it may be clear to them all that the hand of the Lord has done this, and that the Holy One of Israel has made it.

bbe@Isaiah:41:22 @Let the future be made clear to us: give us news of the past things, so that we may give thought to them; or of the things to come, so that we may see if they are true.

bbe@Isaiah:41:23 @Give us word of what will be after this, so that we may be certain that you are gods: yes, do good or do evil, so that we may all see it and be surprised.

bbe@Isaiah:41:26 @Who has given knowledge of it from the first, so that we may be certain of it? and from the start, so that we may say, His word is true? There is no one who gives news, or says anything, or who gives ear to your words.

bbe@Isaiah:42:7 @To give eyes to the blind, to make free the prisoners from the prison, to let out those who are shut up in the dark.

bbe@Isaiah:42:10 @Make a new song to the Lord, and let his praise be sounded from the end of the earth; you who go down to the sea, and everything in it, the sea-lands and their people.

bbe@Isaiah:42:11 @Let the waste land and its flocks be glad, the tent-circles of Kedar; let the people of the rock give a glad cry, from the top of the mountains let them make a sound of joy.

bbe@Isaiah:42:12 @Let them give glory to the Lord, sounding his praise in the sea-lands.

bbe@Isaiah:42:14 @I have long been quiet, I have kept myself in and done nothing: now I will make sounds of pain like a woman in childbirth, breathing hard and quickly.

bbe@Isaiah:42:18 @Give ear, you whose ears are shut; and let your eyes be open, you blind, so that you may see.

bbe@Isaiah:42:22 @But this is a people whose property has been taken away from them by force; they are all taken in holes, and shut up in prisons: they are made prisoners, and no one makes them free; they are taken by force and no one says, Give them back.

bbe@Isaiah:42:25 @For this reason he let loose on him the heat of his wrath, and his strength was like a flame; and it put fire round about him, but he did not see it; he was burned, but did not take it to heart.

bbe@Isaiah:43:4 @Because of your value in my eyes, you have been honoured, and loved by me; so I will give men for you, and peoples for your life.

bbe@Isaiah:43:6 @I will say to the north, Give them up; and to the south, Do not keep them back; send back my sons from far, and my daughters from the end of the earth;

bbe@Isaiah:43:9 @Let all the nations come together, and let the peoples be present: who among them is able to make this clear, and give us word of earlier things? let their witnesses come forward, so that they may be seen to be true, and that they may give ear, and say, It is true.

bbe@Isaiah:43:10 @You are my witnesses, says the Lord, and my servant whom I have taken for myself: so that you may see and have faith in me, and that it may be clear to you that I am he; before me there was no God formed, and there will not be after me.

bbe@Isaiah:43:12 @I gave the word, and made it clear, and there was no strange god among you: for this reason you are my witnesses, says the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:43:14 @The Lord, who has taken up your cause, the Holy One of Israel, says, Because of you I have sent to Babylon, and made all their seers come south, and the Chaldaeans whose cry is in the ships.

bbe@Isaiah:43:26 @Put me in mind of this; let us take up the cause between us: put forward your cause, so that you may be seen to be in the right.

bbe@Isaiah:43:28 @Your chiefs have made my holy place unclean, so I have made Jacob a curse, and Israel a thing of shame.

bbe@Isaiah:44:9 @Those who make a pictured image are all of them as nothing, and the things of their desire will be of no profit to them: and their servants see not, and have no knowledge; so they will be put to shame.

bbe@Isaiah:44:13 @The woodworker is measuring out the wood with his line, marking it out with his pencil: after smoothing it with his plane, and making circles on it with his instrument, he gives it the form and glory of a man, so that it may be placed in the house.

bbe@Isaiah:44:15 @Then it will be used to make a fire, so that a man may get warm; he has the oven heated with it and makes bread: he makes a god with it, to which he gives worship: he makes a pictured image out of it, and goes down on his face before it.

bbe@Isaiah:44:18 @They have no knowledge or wisdom; for he has put a veil over their eyes, so that they may not see; and on their hearts, so that they may not give attention.

bbe@Isaiah:44:20 @As for him whose food is the dust of a dead fire, he has been turned from the way by a twisted mind, so that he is unable to keep himself safe by saying, What I have here in my hand is false.

bbe@Isaiah:44:23 @Make a song, O heavens, for the Lord has done it: give a loud cry, you deep parts of the earth: let your voices be loud in song, you mountains, and you woods with all your trees: for the Lord has taken up the cause of Jacob, and will let his glory be seen in Israel.

bbe@Isaiah:44:25 @Who makes the signs of those who give word of the future come to nothing, so that those who have knowledge of secret arts go off their heads; turning the wise men back, and making their knowledge foolish:

bbe@Isaiah:45:1 @The Lord says to the man of his selection, to Cyrus, whom I have taken by the right hand, putting down nations before him, and taking away the arms of kings; making the doors open before him, so that the ways into the towns may not be shut;

bbe@Isaiah:45:3 @And I will give you the stores of the dark, and the wealth of secret places, so that you may be certain that I am the Lord, who gave you your name, even the God of Israel.

bbe@Isaiah:45:6 @So that they may see from the east and from the west that there is no God but me: I am the Lord, and there is no other.

bbe@Isaiah:45:11 @The Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, says, Will you put a question to me about the things which are to come, or will you give me orders about my sons, and the work of my hands?

bbe@Isaiah:45:13 @I have sent him out to overcome the nations, and I will make all his ways straight: I will give him the work of building my town, and he will let my prisoners go free, without price or reward, says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Isaiah:45:22 @Let your hearts be turned to me, so that you may have salvation, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is no other.

bbe@Isaiah:46:2 @They are bent down, they are falling together: they were not able to keep their images safe, but they themselves have been taken prisoner.

bbe@Isaiah:46:10 @Making clear from the first what is to come, and from past times the things which have not so far come about; saying, My purpose is fixed, and I will do all my pleasure;

bbe@Isaiah:47:1 @Come and take your seat in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; come down from your seat of power, and take your place on the earth, O daughter of the Chaldaeans: for you will never again seem soft and delicate.

bbe@Isaiah:47:8 @So now take note of this, you who are given up to pleasure, living without fear of evil, saying in your heart, I am, and there is no one like me; I will never be a widow, or have my children taken from me.

bbe@Isaiah:48:5 @For this reason I made it clear to you in the past, before it came I gave you word of it: for fear that you might say, My god did these things, and my pictured and metal images made them come about.

bbe@Isaiah:48:20 @Go out of Babylon, go in flight from the Chaldaeans; with the sound of song make it clear, give the news, let the word go out even to the end of the earth: say, The Lord has taken up the cause of his servant Jacob.

bbe@Isaiah:49:5 @And now, says the Lord, who made me his servant when I was still in my mother's body, so that I might make Jacob come back to him, and so that Israel might come together to him: and I was honoured in the eyes of the Lord, and my God became my strength.

bbe@Isaiah:49:6 @It is not enough for one who is my servant to put the tribes of Jacob again in their place, and to get back those of Israel who have been sent away: my purpose is to give you as a light to the nations, so that you may be my salvation to the end of the earth.

bbe@Isaiah:49:13 @Let your voice be loud in song, O heavens; and be glad, O earth; make sounds of joy, O mountains, for the Lord has given comfort to his people, and will have mercy on his crushed ones.

bbe@Isaiah:49:22 @This is the word of the Lord God: See, I will make a sign with my hand to the nations, and put up my flag for the peoples; and they will take up your sons on their beasts, and your daughters on their backs.

bbe@Isaiah:49:24 @Will the goods of war be taken from the strong man, or the prisoners of the cruel one be let go?

bbe@Isaiah:49:25 @But the Lord says, Even the prisoners of the strong will be taken from him, and the cruel made to let go his goods: for I will take up your cause against your haters, and I will keep your children safe.

bbe@Isaiah:50:2 @Why, then, when I came, was there no man? and no one to give answer to my voice? has my hand become feeble, so that it is unable to take up your cause? or have I no power to make you free? See, at my word the sea becomes dry, I make the rivers a waste land: their fish are dead for need of water, and make an evil smell.

bbe@Isaiah:50:4 @The Lord God has given me the tongue of those who are experienced, so that I may be able to give the word a special sense for the feeble: every morning my ear is open to his teaching, like those who are experienced:

bbe@Isaiah:50:11 @See, all you who make a fire, arming yourselves with burning branches: go in the flame of your fire, and among the branches you have put a light to. This will you have from my hand, you will make your bed in sorrow.

bbe@Isaiah:51:3 @For the Lord has given comfort to Zion: he has made glad all her broken walls; making her waste places like Eden, and changing her dry land into the garden of the Lord; joy and delight will be there, praise and the sound of melody.

bbe@Isaiah:51:11 @Those whom the Lord has made free will come back with songs to Zion; and on their heads will be eternal joy: delight and joy will be theirs, and sorrow and sounds of grief will be gone for ever.

bbe@Isaiah:52:9 @Give sounds of joy, make melody together, waste places of Jerusalem: for the Lord has given comfort to his people, he has taken up the cause of Jerusalem.

bbe@Isaiah:52:14 @As peoples were surprised at him, And his face was not beautiful, so as to be desired: his face was so changed by disease as to be unlike that of a man, and his form was no longer that of the sons of men.

bbe@Isaiah:52:15 @So will nations give him honour; kings will keep quiet because of him: for what had not been made clear to them they will see; and they will give their minds to what had not come to their ears.

bbe@Isaiah:53:3 @Men made sport of him, turning away from him; he was a man of sorrows, marked by disease; and like one from whom men's faces are turned away, he was looked down on, and we put no value on him.

bbe@Isaiah:53:7 @Men were cruel to him, but he was gentle and quiet; as a lamb taken to its death, and as a sheep before those who take her wool makes no sound, so he said not a word.

bbe@Isaiah:54:1 @Let your voice be loud in song, O woman without children; make melody and sounds of joy, you who did not give birth: for the children of her who had no husband are more than those of the married wife, says the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:54:4 @Have no fear; for you will not be shamed or without hope: you will not be put to shame, for the shame of your earlier days will go out of your memory, and you will no longer keep in mind the sorrows of your widowed years.

bbe@Isaiah:54:9 @For this is like the days of Noah to me: for as I took an oath that the waters of Noah would never again go over the earth, so have I taken an oath that I will not again be angry with you, or say bitter words to you.

bbe@Isaiah:54:12 @I will make your towers of rubies, and your doors of carbuncles, and the wall round you will be of all sorts of beautiful stones.

bbe@Isaiah:55:2 @Why do you give your money for what is not bread, and the fruit of your work for what will not give you pleasure? Give ear to me, so that your food may be good, and you may have the best in full measure.

bbe@Isaiah:55:3 @Give ear, and come to me, take note with care, so that your souls may have life: and I will make an eternal agreement with you, even the certain mercies of David.

bbe@Isaiah:55:9 @For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

bbe@Isaiah:57:3 @But come near, you sons of her who is wise in secret arts, the seed of her who is false to her husband, and of the loose woman.

bbe@Isaiah:57:10 @You were tired with your long journeys; but you did not say, There is no hope: you got new strength, and so you were not feeble.

bbe@Isaiah:57:11 @And of whom were you in fear, so that you were false, and did not keep me in mind, or give thought to it? Have I not been quiet, keeping myself secret, and so you were not in fear of me?

bbe@Isaiah:57:16 @For I will not give punishment for ever, or be angry without end: for from me breath goes out; and I it was who made the souls.

bbe@Isaiah:58:1 @Make a loud cry, do not be quiet, let your voice be sounding like a horn, and make clear to my people their evil doings, and to the family of Jacob their sins.

bbe@Isaiah:58:6 @Is not this the holy day for which I have given orders: to let loose those who have wrongly been made prisoners, to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the crushed go free, and every yoke be broken?

bbe@Isaiah:58:9 @Then at the sound of your voice, the Lord will give an answer; at your cry he will say, Here am I. If you take away from among you the yoke, the putting out of the finger of shame, and the evil word;

bbe@Isaiah:58:10 @And if you give your bread to those in need of it, so that the troubled one may have his desire; then you will have light in the dark, and your night will be as the full light of the sun:

bbe@Isaiah:58:12 @And your sons will be building again the old waste places: you will make strong the bases of old generations: and you will be named, He who puts up the broken walls, and, He who makes ready the ways for use.

bbe@Isaiah:59:1 @Truly, the Lord's hand has not become short, so that he is unable to give salvation; and his ear is not shut from hearing:

bbe@Isaiah:59:2 @But your sins have come between you and your God, and by your evil doings his face has been veiled from you, so that he will give you no answer.

bbe@Isaiah:59:5 @They give birth to snake's eggs, and make spider's threads: whoever takes their eggs for food comes to his death, and the egg which is crushed becomes a poison-snake.

bbe@Isaiah:59:11 @We make noises of grief, like bears, and sad sounds like doves: we are looking for our right, but it is not there; for salvation, but it is far from us.

bbe@Isaiah:59:16 @And he saw that there was no man, and was surprised that there was no one to take up their cause: so his arm gave salvation, and he made righteousness his support.

bbe@Isaiah:59:19 @So they will see the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the east: for he will come like a rushing stream, forced on by a wind of the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:60:4 @Let your eyes be lifted up, and see: they are all coming together to you: your sons will come from far, and your daughters taken with loving care.

bbe@Isaiah:60:9 @Vessels of the sea-lands are waiting for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, so that your sons may come from far, and their silver and gold with them, to the place of the name of the Lord your God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he has made you beautiful.

bbe@Isaiah:60:11 @Your doors will be open at all times; they will not be shut day or night; so that men may come into you with the wealth of the nations, with their kings at their head.

bbe@Isaiah:60:14 @And the sons of those who were cruel to you will come before you with bent heads; and those who made sport of you will go down on their faces at your feet; and you will be named, The Town of the Lord, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

bbe@Isaiah:60:20 @Your sun will never again go down, or your moon keep back her light: for the Lord will be your eternal light, and the days of your sorrow will be ended.

bbe@Isaiah:61:1 @The spirit of the Lord is on me, because I am marked out by him to give good news to the poor; he has sent me to make the broken-hearted well, to say that the prisoners will be made free, and that those in chains will see the light again;

bbe@Isaiah:61:3 @To give them a fair head-dress in place of dust, the oil of joy in place of the clothing of grief, praise in place of sorrow; so that they may be named trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, and so that he may have glory.

bbe@Isaiah:61:7 @As they had twice as much grief, and marks of shame were their heritage, so in their land they will be rewarded twice over, and will have eternal joy.

bbe@Isaiah:61:10 @I will be full of joy in the Lord, my soul will be glad in my God; for he has put on me the clothing of salvation, covering me with the robe of righteousness, as the husband puts on a fair head-dress, and the bride makes herself beautiful with jewels.

bbe@Isaiah:61:11 @For as the earth puts out buds, and as the garden gives growth to the seeds which are planted in it, so the Lord will make righteousness and praise to be flowering before all the nations.

bbe@Isaiah:62:5 @For as a young man takes a virgin for his wife, so will your maker be married to you: and as a husband has joy in his bride, so will the Lord your God be glad over you.

bbe@Isaiah:63:5 @And I saw that there was no helper, and I was wondering that no one gave them support: so my arm did the work of salvation, and my wrath was my support.

bbe@Isaiah:63:8 @For he said, Truly they are my people, children who will not be false: so he was their saviour out of all their trouble.

bbe@Isaiah:63:10 @But they went against him, causing grief to his holy spirit: so he was turned against them, and made war on them.

bbe@Isaiah:63:14 @Like the cattle which go down into the valley, they went without falling, the spirit of the Lord guiding them: so you went before your people, to make yourself a great name.

bbe@Isaiah:63:17 @O Lord, why do you send us wandering from your ways, making our hearts hard, so that we have no fear of you? Come back, because of your servants, the tribes of your heritage.

bbe@Isaiah:63:18 @Why have evil men gone over your holy place, so that it has been crushed under the feet of our haters?

bbe@Isaiah:64:1 @O let the heavens be broken open and come down, so that the mountains may be shaking before you,

bbe@Isaiah:64:2 @As when fire puts the brushwood in flames, or as when water is boiling from the heat of the fire: to make your name feared by your haters, so that the nations may be shaking before you;

bbe@Isaiah:64:6 @For we have all become like an unclean person, and all our good acts are like a dirty robe: and we have all become old like a dead leaf, and our sins, like the wind, take us away.

bbe@Isaiah:65:7 @For their sins and the sins of their fathers, who were burning perfumes on the mountains, and saying evil things against me on the hills: so I will take the measure of their sins, and will send the punishment for them into their breast.

bbe@Isaiah:65:8 @This is the word of the Lord: As the new wine is seen in the grapes, and they say, Do not send destruction on it, for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants, in order that I may not put an end to them all.

bbe@Isaiah:65:14 @My servants will make songs in the joy of their hearts, but you will be crying for sorrow, and making sounds of grief from a broken spirit.

bbe@Isaiah:65:16 @So that he who is requesting a blessing will make use of the name of the true God, and he who takes an oath will do so by the true God; because the past troubles are gone out of mind, and because they are covered from my eyes.

bbe@Isaiah:65:19 @And I will be glad over Jerusalem, and have joy in my people: and the voice of weeping will no longer be sounding in her, or the voice of grief.

bbe@Isaiah:66:1 @The Lord says, Heaven is the seat of my power, and earth is the resting-place for my feet: what sort of house will you make for me, and what place will be my resting-place?

bbe@Isaiah:66:3 @He who puts an ox to death puts a man to death; he who makes an offering of a lamb puts a dog to death; he who makes a meal offering makes an offering of pig's blood; he who makes an offering of perfumes for a sign gives worship to an image: as they have gone after their desires, and their soul takes pleasure in their disgusting things;

bbe@Isaiah:66:4 @So I will go after trouble for them, and will send on them what they are fearing: because no one made answer to my voice, or gave ear to my word; but they did what was evil in my eyes, going after that in which I took no pleasure.

bbe@Isaiah:66:5 @Give ear to the word of the Lord, you who are in fear at his word: your countrymen, hating you, and driving you out because of my name, have said, Let the Lord's glory be made clear, so that we may see your joy; but they will be put to shame.

bbe@Isaiah:66:6 @There is a noise of war from the town, a sound from the Temple, the voice of the Lord giving punishment to his haters.

bbe@Isaiah:66:10 @Have joy with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all you her lovers: take part in her joy, all you who are sorrowing for her:

bbe@Isaiah:66:11 @So that you may take of the comfort flowing from her breasts, and be delighted with the full measure of her glory.

bbe@Isaiah:66:13 @As to one who is comforted by his mother, so will I give you comfort: and you will be comforted in Jerusalem.

bbe@Isaiah:66:21 @And some of them will I take for priests and Levites, says the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:66:22 @For as the new heaven and the new earth which I will make will be for ever before me, says the Lord, so will your seed and your name be for ever.

bbe@Jeremiah:1:1 @The words of Jeremiah, the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:

bbe@Jeremiah:1:2 @To whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah, the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his rule.

bbe@Jeremiah:1:3 @And it came again in the days of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, up to the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah; till Jerusalem was taken away in the fifth month.

bbe@Jeremiah:1:17 @So make yourself ready, and go and say to them everything I give you orders to say: do not be overcome by fear of them, or I will send fear on you before them.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:4 @Give ear to the words of the Lord, O sons of Jacob and all the families of Israel:

bbe@Jeremiah:2:9 @For this reason, I will again put forward my cause against you, says the Lord, even against you and against your children's children.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:22 @For even if you are washed with soda and take much soap, still your evil-doing is marked before me, says the Lord God.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:26 @As the thief is shamed when he is taken, so is Israel shamed; they, their kings and their rulers, their priests and their prophets;

bbe@Jeremiah:2:33 @With what care are your ways ordered when you are looking for love! so... your ways.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:36 @Why do you go about so much for the purpose of changing your way? you will be shamed on account of Egypt, as you were shamed on account of Assyria.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:3 @So the showers have been kept back, and there has been no spring rain; still your brow is the brow of a loose woman, you will not let yourself be shamed.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:9 @So that through all her loose behaviour the land became unclean, and she was untrue, giving herself to stones and trees.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:20 @Truly, as a wife is false to her husband, so have you been false to me, O Israel, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:21 @A voice is sounding on the open hilltops, the weeping and the prayers of the children of Israel; because their way is twisted, they have not kept the Lord their God in mind.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:24 @But the Baal has taken all the work of our fathers from our earliest days; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:4 @Undergo a circumcision of the heart, you men of Judah and people of Jerusalem: or my wrath may come out like fire, burning so that no one is able to put it out, because of the evil of your doings.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:5 @Say openly in Judah, give it out in Jerusalem, and say, Let the horn be sounded in the land: crying out in a loud voice, Come together, and let us go into the walled towns.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:6 @Put up a flag for a sign to Zion: go in flight so that you may be safe, waiting no longer: for I will send evil from the north, and a great destruction.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:7 @A lion has gone up from his secret place in the woods, and one who makes waste the nations is on his way; he has gone out from his place, to make your land unpeopled, so that your towns will be made waste, with no man living in them.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:10 @Then said I, Ah, Lord God! your words were not true when you said to this people and to Jerusalem, You will have peace; when the sword has come even to the soul

bbe@Jeremiah:4:13 @See, he will come up like the clouds, and his war-carriages like the storm-wind: his horses are quicker than eagles. Sorrow is ours, for destruction has come on us.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:14 @O Jerusalem, make your heart clean from evil, so that you may have salvation. How long are evil purposes to have a resting-place in you?

bbe@Jeremiah:4:15 @For a voice is sounding from Dan, giving out evil from the hills of Ephraim:

bbe@Jeremiah:4:19 @My soul, my soul! I am pained to my inmost heart; my heart is troubled in me; I am not able to be quiet, because the sound of the horn, the note of war, has come to my ears.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:21 @How long will I go on seeing the flag and hearing the sound of the war-horn?

bbe@Jeremiah:4:31 @A voice has come to my ears like the voice of a woman in birth-pains, the pain of one giving birth to her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, fighting for breath, stretching out her hands, saying, Now sorrow is mine! for my strength is gone from me before the takers of life.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:6 @And so a lion from the woods will put them to death, a wolf of the waste land will make them waste, a leopard will keep watch on their towns, and everyone who goes out from them will be food for the beasts; because of the great number of their sins and the increase of their wrongdoing.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:9 @Am I not to give punishment for these things? says the Lord: will not my soul take payment from such a nation as this?

bbe@Jeremiah:5:13 @And the prophets will become wind, and the word is not in them; so it will be done to them.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:14 @For this reason the Lord, the God of armies, has said: Because you have said this, I will make my words in your mouth a fire, and this people wood, and they will be burned up by it.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:15 @See, I will send you a nation from far away, O people of Israel, says the Lord; a strong nation and an old nation, a nation whose language is strange to you, so that you may not get the sense of their words.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:17 @They will take all the produce of your fields, which would have been food for your sons and your daughters: they will take your flocks and your herds: they will take all your vines and your fig-trees: and with the sword they will make waste your walled towns in which you put your faith.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:19 @And it will come about, when you say, Why has the Lord our God done all these things to us? that you will say to them, As you gave me up, making yourselves servants to strange gods in your land, so will you be servants to strange men in a land which is not yours.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:22 @Have you no fear of me? says the Lord; will you not be shaking with fear before me, who have put the sand as a limit for the sea, by an eternal order, so that it may not go past it? and though it is ever in motion, it is not able to have its way; though the sound of its waves is loud, they are not able to go past it.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:27 @As the fowl-house is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: for this reason they have become great and have got wealth.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:28 @They have become fat and strong: they have gone far in works of evil: they give no support to the cause of the child without a father, so that they may do well; they do not see that the poor man gets his rights.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:29 @Am I not to give punishment for these things? says the Lord: will not my soul take payment from such a nation as this?

bbe@Jeremiah:5:31 @The prophets give false words and the priests give decisions by their direction; and my people are glad to have it so: and what will you do in the end?

bbe@Jeremiah:6:1 @Go in flight out of Jerusalem, so that you may be safe, you children of Benjamin, and let the horn be sounded in Tekoa, and the flag be lifted up on Beth-haccherem: for evil is looking out from the north, and a great destruction.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:4 @Make war ready against her; up! let us go up when the sun is high. Sorrow is ours! for the day is turned and the shades of evening are stretched out.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:6 @For this is what the Lord of armies has said: Let trees be cut down and an earthwork be placed against Jerusalem: sorrow on the false town! inside her there is nothing but cruel ways.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:7 @As the spring keeps its waters cold, so she keeps her evil in her: the sound of cruel and violent behaviour is in her; before me at all times are disease and wounds.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:8 @Undergo teaching, O Jerusalem, or my soul will be turned away from you, and I will make you a waste, an unpeopled land.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:10 @To whom am I to give word, witnessing so that they may take note? see, their ears are stopped, and they are not able to give attention: see, the word of the Lord has been a cause of shame to them, they have no delight in it.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:11 @For this reason I am full of the wrath of the Lord, I am tired of keeping it in: may it be let loose on the children in the street, and on the band of the young men together: for even the husband with his wife will be taken, the old man with him who is full of days.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:15 @Let them be put to shame because they have done disgusting things. They had no shame, they were not able to become red with shame: so they will come down with those who are falling: when my punishment comes on them, they will be made low, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:16 @This is what the Lord has said: Take your place looking out on the ways; make search for the old roads, saying, Where is the good way? and go in it that you may have rest for your souls. But they said, We will not go in it.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:17 @And I put watchmen over you, saying, Give attention to the sound of the horn; but they said, We will not give attention.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:18 @So then, give ear, you nations, and...

bbe@Jeremiah:6:21 @For this reason the Lord has said, See, I will put stones in the way of this people: and the fathers and the sons together will go falling over them; the neighbour and his friend will come to destruction.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:26 @O daughter of my people, put on haircloth, rolling yourself in the dust: give yourself to sorrow, as for an only son, with most bitter cries of grief; for he who makes waste will come on us suddenly.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:27 @I have made you a tester among my people, so that you may have knowledge of their way and put it to the test.

bbe@Jeremiah:7:10 @And come and take your place before me in this house, which is named by my name, and say, We have been made safe; so that you may do all these disgusting things?

bbe@Jeremiah:7:14 @For this reason I will do to the house which is named by my name, and in which you have put your faith, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.

bbe@Jeremiah:7:20 @So this is what the Lord God has said: See, my wrath and my passion will be let loose on this place, on man and beast, and on the trees of the field, and on the produce of the earth; it will be burning and will not be put out.

bbe@Jeremiah:7:23 @But this was the order I gave them, saying, Give ear to my voice, and I will be your God, and you will be my people: go in all the way ordered by me, so that all may be well for you.

bbe@Jeremiah:7:29 @Let your hair be cut off, O Jerusalem, and let it go, and let a song of grief go up on the open hilltops; for the Lord is turned away from the generation of his wrath and has given them up.

bbe@Jeremiah:7:31 @And they have put up the high place of Topheth in the valley of the son of Hinnom, burning their sons and their daughters there in the fire; a thing which was not ordered by me and never came into my mind.

bbe@Jeremiah:7:32 @For this cause, the days are coming, says the Lord, when it will no longer be named Topheth, or, The valley of the son of Hinnom, but, The valley of Death: for they will put the dead into the earth in Topheth till there is no more room.

bbe@Jeremiah:8:10 @So I will give their wives to others, and their fields to those who will take them for themselves: for everyone, from the least to the greatest, is given up to getting money; from the priest even to the prophet, everyone is false.

bbe@Jeremiah:8:12 @Let them be put to shame because they have done disgusting things. They had no shame, they were not able to become red with shame: so they will come down with those who are falling: in the time of their punishment they will be made low, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:8:16 @The loud breathing of the horses comes to our ears from Dan: at the sound of the outcry of his war-horses, all the land is shaking with fear; for they have come, and have made a meal of the land and everything in it; the town and the people living in it.

bbe@Jeremiah:8:17 @See, I will send snakes and poison-snakes among you, against which the wonder-worker has no power; and they will give you wounds which may not be made well, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:8:18 @Sorrow has come on me! my heart in me is feeble

bbe@Jeremiah:9:1 @If only my head was a stream of waters and my eyes fountains of weeping, so that I might go on weeping day and night for the dead of the daughter of my people!

bbe@Jeremiah:9:2 @If only I had in the waste land a night's resting-place for travellers, so that I might go away, far from my people! for they are all untrue, a band of false men.

bbe@Jeremiah:9:7 @So the Lord of armies has said, See, I will make them soft in the fire and put them to the test; this I will do because of their evil-doing.

bbe@Jeremiah:9:9 @Am I not to send punishment for these things? says the Lord: will not my soul take payment from such a nation as this?

bbe@Jeremiah:9:10 @Give yourselves to weeping, crying out in sorrow for the mountains; and for the fields of the waste land send up a song of grief, because they are burned up, so that no one goes through; there is no sound of cattle; the bird of the heavens and the beast are in flight and are gone.

bbe@Jeremiah:9:12 @Who is the wise man able to see this? who is he to whom the word of the Lord has come, so that he may make it clear? why is the land given to destruction and burned up like a waste place, so that no one goes through?

bbe@Jeremiah:9:15 @So the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said, I will give them, even this people, bitter plants for food and bitter water for drink.

bbe@Jeremiah:9:17 @This is what the Lord of armies has said: Take thought and send for the weeping women, so that they may come; and send for the wise women, so that they may come:

bbe@Jeremiah:9:18 @Let them quickly make cries of sorrow for us, so that drops may be flowing from our eyes till they are streaming with water.

bbe@Jeremiah:9:19 @For a sound of weeping goes up from Zion, a cry, How has destruction come on us? we are overcome with shame because we have gone away from our land; he has sent us out from our house.

bbe@Jeremiah:9:20 @But even now, give ear to the word of the Lord, O you women; let your ears be open to the word of his mouth, training your daughters to give cries of sorrow, everyone teaching her neighbour a song of grief

bbe@Jeremiah:10:4 @They make it beautiful with silver and gold; they make it strong with nails and hammers, so that it may not be moved.

bbe@Jeremiah:10:13 @At the sound of his voice there is a massing of waters in the heavens, and he makes the mists go up from the ends of the earth; he makes the thunder-flames for the rain, and sends out the wind from his store-houses.

bbe@Jeremiah:10:18 @For the Lord has said, I will send the people in flight like a stone from the land at this time, troubling them so that they will be conscious of it.

bbe@Jeremiah:10:19 @Sorrow is mine for I am wounded! my wound may not be made well; and I said, Cruel is my disease, I may not be free from it.

bbe@Jeremiah:10:21 @For the keepers of the sheep have become like beasts, not looking to the Lord for directions: so they have not done wisely and all their flocks have been put to flight.

bbe@Jeremiah:10:22 @News is going about, see, it is coming, a great shaking is coming from the north country, so that the towns of Judah may be made waste and become the living-place of jackals.

bbe@Jeremiah:11:4 @To the order which I gave your fathers on the day when I took them out of the land of Egypt, out of the oven of iron, saying, Give ear to my voice, and do all the orders I have given you: so you will be my people, and I will be your God:

bbe@Jeremiah:11:5 @So that I may give effect to the oath which I made to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey as at this day. And I said in answer, So be it, O Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:11:8 @But they gave no attention and did not give ear, but they went on, every man in the pride of his evil heart: so I sent on them all the curses in this agreement, which I gave them orders to keep, but they did not.

bbe@Jeremiah:11:11 @So the Lord has said, I will send evil on them, which they will not be able to get away from; and they will send up a cry for help to me, but I will not give ear to them

bbe@Jeremiah:11:19 @But I was like a gentle lamb taken to be put to death; I had no thought that they were designing evil against me, saying, Come and let us make trouble his food, cutting him off from the land of the living, so that there may be no more memory of his name.

bbe@Jeremiah:11:21 @So this is what the Lord of armies has said about the men of Anathoth who have made designs against your life, saying, You are not to be a prophet in the name of the Lord, or death will overtake you by our hands:

bbe@Jeremiah:11:22 @So the Lord of armies has said, See, I will send punishment on them: the young men will be put to the sword; their sons and their daughters will come to death through need of food:

bbe@Jeremiah:12:7 @I have given up my house, I have let my heritage go; I have given the loved one of my soul into the hands of her haters.

bbe@Jeremiah:12:8 @My heritage has become like a lion in the woodland to me; her voice has been loud against me; so I have hate for her.

bbe@Jeremiah:13:2 @So, as the Lord said, I got a band for a price and put it round my body.

bbe@Jeremiah:13:5 @So I went and put it in a secret place by Parah, as the Lord had said to me.

bbe@Jeremiah:13:7 @So I went to Parah and, uncovering the hole, took the band from the place where I had put it away: and the band was damaged and of no use for anything.

bbe@Jeremiah:13:11 @For as a band goes tightly round a man's body, so I made all the people of Israel and all the people of Judah tightly united to me; so that they might be a people for me and a name and a praise and a glory: but they would not give ear.

bbe@Jeremiah:13:12 @So you are to say this word to them: This is the word of the Lord, the God of Israel: Every skin bottle will be full of wine; and they will say to you, Is it not quite clear to us that every skin bottle will be full of wine?

bbe@Jeremiah:13:14 @I will have them smashed against one another, fathers and sons together, says the Lord: I will have no pity or mercy, I will have no feeling for them to keep me from giving them to destruction.

bbe@Jeremiah:13:17 @But if you do not give ear to it, my soul will be weeping in secret for your pride; my eye will be weeping bitterly, streaming with water, because the Lord's flock has been taken away as prisoners.

bbe@Jeremiah:13:19 @The towns of the south are shut up, and there is no one to make them open: Judah is taken away as prisoners; all Judah is taken away as prisoners.

bbe@Jeremiah:13:24 @So I will send them in all directions, as dry grass is taken away by the wind of the waste land.

bbe@Jeremiah:13:26 @So I will have your skirts uncovered before your face, in order that your shame may be seen.

bbe@Jeremiah:14:2 @Judah is weeping and its doors are dark with sorrow, and people are seated on the earth clothed in black; and the cry of Jerusalem has gone up.

bbe@Jeremiah:14:7 @Though our sins give witness against us, do something, O Lord, for the honour of your name: for again and again we have been turned away from you, we have done evil against you.

bbe@Jeremiah:14:10 @This is what the Lord has said about this people: Even so they have been glad to go from the right way; they have not kept their feet from wandering, so the Lord has no pleasure in them; now he will keep their wrongdoing in mind and send punishment for their sins.

bbe@Jeremiah:14:15 @So this is what the Lord has said about the prophets who make use of my name, though I sent them not, and say, The sword and need of food will not be in this land: the sword and need of food will put an end to those prophets.

bbe@Jeremiah:14:16 @And the people to whom they are prophets will be pushed out dead into the streets of Jerusalem, because there is no food, and because of the sword; and they will have no one to put their bodies into the earth, them or their wives or their sons or their daughters: for I will let loose their evil-doing on them.

bbe@Jeremiah:14:19 @Have you completely given up Judah? is your soul turned in disgust from Zion? why have you given us blows from which there is no one to make us well? we were looking for peace, but no good came; and for a time of well-being, but there was only a great fear.

bbe@Jeremiah:14:22 @Are any of the false gods of the nations able to make rain come? are the heavens able to give showers? are you not he, O Lord our God? so we will go on waiting for you, for you have done all these things.

bbe@Jeremiah:15:2 @And it will be, when they say to you, Where are we to go? then you are to say to them, The Lord has said, Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are to be in need of food, to need of food; and such as are to be taken away prisoners, to be taken away.

bbe@Jeremiah:15:4 @And I will make them a cause of fear to all the kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh, the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, and what he did in Jerusalem.

bbe@Jeremiah:15:5 @For who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem? and who will have sorrow for you? or who will go out of his way to see how you are?

bbe@Jeremiah:15:6 @You have given me up, says the Lord, you have gone back: so my hand is stretched out against you for your destruction; I am tired of changing my purpose.

bbe@Jeremiah:15:10 @Sorrow is mine, my mother, because you have given birth to me, a cause of fighting and argument in all the earth! I have not made men my creditors and I am not in debt to any, but every one of them is cursing me.

bbe@Jeremiah:15:18 @Why is my pain unending and my wound without hope of being made well? Sorrow is mine, for you are to me as a stream offering false hope and as waters which are not certain.

bbe@Jeremiah:16:2 @You are not to take a wife for yourself or have sons or daughters in this place.

bbe@Jeremiah:16:3 @For this is what the Lord has said about the sons and daughters who come to birth in this place, and about their mothers who have given them birth, and about their fathers who have given life to them in this land:

bbe@Jeremiah:16:5 @For this is what the Lord has said: Do not go into the house of sorrow, do not go to make weeping or songs of grief for them: for I have taken away my peace from this people, says the Lord, even mercy and pity.

bbe@Jeremiah:16:7 @No one will make a feast for them in sorrow, to give them comfort for the dead, or put to their lips the cup of comfort on account of their father or their mother.

bbe@Jeremiah:16:12 @And you have done worse evil than your fathers; for see, every one of you is guided by the pride of his evil heart, so as not to give ear to me:

bbe@Jeremiah:16:13 @For this reason I will send you away out of this land into a land which is strange to you, to you and to your fathers; there you will be the servants of other gods day and night, and you will have no mercy from me.

bbe@Jeremiah:16:21 @For this reason, truly, I will make them see, this once I will give them knowledge of my hand and my power; and they will be certain that my name is the Lord

bbe@Jeremiah:17:10 @I the Lord am the searcher of the heart, the tester of the thoughts, so that I may give to every man the reward of his ways, in keeping with the fruit of his doings.

bbe@Jeremiah:17:23 @But they gave no attention and would not give ear, but they made their necks stiff so that they might not give ear and might not get teaching

bbe@Jeremiah:17:26 @And they will come from the towns of Judah, and from the places round about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the lowlands, and from the mountains, and from the South, with burned offerings and offerings of beasts and meal offerings and perfume and offerings of praise, to the house of the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:18:13 @So this is what the Lord has said: Make search among the nations and see who has had word of such things; the virgin of Israel has done a very shocking thing.

bbe@Jeremiah:18:16 @Making their land a thing of wonder, causing sounds of surprise for ever; everyone who goes by will be overcome with wonder, shaking his head.

bbe@Jeremiah:18:20 @Is evil to be the reward of good? for they have made a deep hole for my soul. Keep in mind how I took my place before you, to say a good word for them so that your wrath might be turned away from them.

bbe@Jeremiah:18:23 @But you, Lord, have knowledge of all the designs which they have made against my life; let not their evil-doing be covered or their sin be washed away from before your eyes: but let it be a cause of falling before you: so do to them in the time of your wrath.

bbe@Jeremiah:19:1 @This is what the Lord has said: Go and get for money a potter's bottle made of earth, and take with you some of the responsible men of the people and of the priests;

bbe@Jeremiah:19:2 @And go out to the valley of the son of Hinnom, by the way into the door of broken pots, and there say in a loud voice the words which I will give you;

bbe@Jeremiah:19:5 @And they have put up the high places of the Baal, burning their sons in the fire; a thing which was not ordered by me, and it was never in my mind:

bbe@Jeremiah:19:6 @For this cause, see, a time is coming, says the Lord, when this place will no longer be named Topheth, or, The valley of the son of Hinnom, but, The valley of Death.

bbe@Jeremiah:19:8 @And I will make this town a thing of wonder and a cause of surprise; everyone who goes by will be overcome with wonder and make sounds of surprise, because of all its troubles.

bbe@Jeremiah:19:9 @I will make them take the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters for food, they will be making a meal of one another, because of their bitter need and the cruel grip of their haters and those who have made designs against their life.

bbe@Jeremiah:19:11 @And say to them, This is what the Lord of armies has said: Even so will this people and this town be broken by me, as a potter's bottle is broken and may not be put together again: and the bodies of the dead will be put in the earth in Topheth, till there is no more room.

bbe@Jeremiah:19:15 @The Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: See, I will send on this town and on all her towns all the evil which I have said; because they made their necks stiff, so that they might not give ear to my words.

bbe@Jeremiah:20:1 @Now it came to the ears of Pashhur, the son of Immer the priest, who was chief in authority in the house of the Lord, that Jeremiah was saying these things;

bbe@Jeremiah:20:4 @For the Lord has said, See, I will make you a cause of fear to yourself and to all your friends: they will come to their death by the sword of their haters, and your eyes will see it: and I will give all Judah into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he will take them away prisoners into Babylon and put them to the sword.

bbe@Jeremiah:20:6 @And you, Pashhur, and all who are in your house, will go away prisoners: you will come to Babylon, and there your body will be put to rest, you and all your friends, to whom you said false words.

bbe@Jeremiah:20:11 @But the Lord is with me as a great one, greatly to be feared: so my attackers will have a fall, and they will not overcome me: they will be greatly shamed, because they have not done wisely, even with an unending shame, kept in memory for ever.

bbe@Jeremiah:20:13 @Make melody to the Lord, give praise to the Lord: for he has made the soul of the poor man free from the hands of the evil-doers.

bbe@Jeremiah:20:16 @May that man be like the towns overturned by the Lord without mercy: let a cry for help come to his ears in the morning, and the sound of war in the middle of the day;

bbe@Jeremiah:20:17 @Because he did not put me to death before my birth took place: so my mother's body would have been my last resting-place, and she would have been with child for ever.

bbe@Jeremiah:20:18 @Why did I come from my mother's body to see pain and sorrow, so that my days might be wasted with shame?

bbe@Jeremiah:21:1 @The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, when King Zedekiah sent to him Pashhur, the son of Malchiah, and Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah the priest, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:21:2 @Will you get directions from the Lord for us; for Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, is making war against us; it may be that the Lord will do something for us like all the wonders he has done, and make him go away from us.

bbe@Jeremiah:21:12 @O family of David, this is what the Lord has said: Do what is right in the morning, and make free from the hands of the cruel one him whose goods have been violently taken away, or my wrath will go out like fire, burning so that no one may put it out, because of the evil of your doings.

bbe@Jeremiah:22:10 @Let there be no weeping for the dead, and make no songs of grief for him: but make bitter weeping for him who has gone away, for he will never come back or see again the country of his birth.

bbe@Jeremiah:22:11 @For this is what the Lord has said about Shallum, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who became king in place of Josiah his father, who went out from this place: He will never come back there again:

bbe@Jeremiah:22:12 @But death will come to him in the place where they have taken him away prisoner, and he will never see this land again.

bbe@Jeremiah:22:18 @So this is what the Lord has said about Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah: They will make no weeping for him, saying, Ah my brother! or, Ah sister! they will make no weeping for him, saying, Ah lord! or, Ah his glory!

bbe@Jeremiah:22:22 @All the keepers of your sheep will be food for the wind, and your lovers will be taken away prisoners: truly, then you will be shamed and unhonoured because of all your evil-doing.

bbe@Jeremiah:22:24 @By my life, says the Lord, even if Coniah, the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, was the ring on my right hand, even from there I would have you pulled off;

bbe@Jeremiah:22:27 @But to the land on which their soul's desire is fixed, they will never come back.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:2 @So this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, has said against the keepers who have the care of my people: You have let my flock be broken up, driving them away and not caring for them; see, I will send on you the punishment for the evil of your doings, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:7 @And so, truly, the days are coming when they will say no longer, By the living Lord, who took the children of Israel up out of the land of Egypt;

bbe@Jeremiah:23:14 @And in the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen a shocking thing; they are untrue to their wives, walking in deceit, and they make strong the hands of evil-doers, so that a man may not be turned back from his evil-doing: they have all become like Sodom to me, and its people like Gomorrah.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:15 @So this is what the Lord of armies has said about the prophets: See, I will give them a bitter plant for their food, and bitter water for their drink: for from the prophets of Jerusalem unclean behaviour has gone out into all the land.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:39 @For this reason, truly, I will put you completely out of my memory, and I will put you, and the town which I gave to you and to your fathers, away from before my face:

bbe@Jeremiah:24:1 @The Lord gave me a vision, and I saw two baskets full of figs put in front of the Temple of the Lord, after Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, had taken prisoner Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and the chiefs of Judah, and the expert workmen and metal-workers from Jerusalem, and had taken them to Babylon.

bbe@Jeremiah:24:2 @One basket had very good figs, like the figs which first come to growth: and the other basket had very bad figs, so bad that they were of no use for food.

bbe@Jeremiah:24:3 @Then the Lord said to me, What do you see, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs; the good figs are very good, and the bad very bad, and of no use for food, they are so bad.

bbe@Jeremiah:24:5 @This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, has said: Like these good figs, so in my eyes will be the prisoners of Judah, whom I have sent from this place into the land of the Chaldaeans for their good.

bbe@Jeremiah:24:8 @And like the bad figs which are so bad that they are of no use for food, so I will give up Zedekiah, king of Judah, and his chiefs and the rest of Jerusalem who are still in this land, and those who are in the land of Egypt:

bbe@Jeremiah:25:1 @The word which came to Jeremiah about all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah king of Judah; this was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:3 @From the thirteenth year of Josiah, the son of Amon, king of Judah, even till this day, for twenty-three years, the word of the Lord has been coming to me, and I have given it to you, getting up early and talking to you; but you have not given ear.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:7 @But you have not given ear to me, says the Lord; so that you have made me angry with the work of your hands, causing evil to yourselves.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:8 @So this is what the Lord of armies has said: Because you have not given ear to my words,

bbe@Jeremiah:25:10 @And more than this, I will take from them the sound of laughing voices, the voice of joy, the voice of the newly-married man, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the stones crushing the grain, and the shining of lights.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:30 @So, as a prophet, give out these words among them, and say to them, The voice of the Lord will be sounding like a lion from on high; he will send out his voice from his holy place, like the loud voice of a lion, against his flock; he will give a cry, like those who are crushing the grapes, against all the people of the earth.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:36 @A sound of the cry of the keepers of sheep, and the bitter crying of the chiefs of the flock! for the Lord has made waste their green fields.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:37 @And there is no sound in the fields of peace, because of the burning wrath of the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:26:1 @When Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, first became king, this word came from the Lord, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:26:3 @It may be that they will give ear, and that every man will be turned from his evil way, so that my purpose of sending evil on them because of the evil of their doings may be changed.

bbe@Jeremiah:26:13 @So now, make a change for the better in your ways and your doings, and give ear to the voice of the Lord your God; then the Lord will let himself be turned from the decision he has made against you for evil.

bbe@Jeremiah:26:17 @Then some of the responsible men of the land got up and said to all the meeting of the people,

bbe@Jeremiah:26:20 @And there was another man who was a prophet of the Lord, Uriah, the son of Shemaiah of Kiriath-jearim; he said against this town and against this land all the words which Jeremiah had said:

bbe@Jeremiah:26:22 @And Jehoiakim the king sent Elnathan, the son of Achbor, and certain men with him, into Egypt.

bbe@Jeremiah:26:24 @But Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, gave Jeremiah his help, so that he was not given into the hands of the people to be put to death.

bbe@Jeremiah:27:1 @When Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, first became king this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:27:7 @And all the nations will be servants to him and to his son and to his son's son, till the time comes for his land to be overcome: and then a number of nations and great kings will take it for their use.

bbe@Jeremiah:27:10 @For they say false words to you, so that you may be sent away far from your land, and so that you may be forced out by me and come to destruction.

bbe@Jeremiah:27:12 @And I said all this to Zedekiah, king of Judah, saying, Put your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon and become his servants and his people, so that you may keep your lives.

bbe@Jeremiah:27:15 @For I have not sent them, says the Lord, but they are saying what is false in my name, so that I might send you out by force, causing destruction to come on you and on your prophets.

bbe@Jeremiah:27:20 @Which Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, did not take away, when he took Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, a prisoner from Jerusalem to Babylon, with all the great men of Judah and Jerusalem;

bbe@Jeremiah:28:1 @And it came about in that year, when Zedekiah first became king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, that Hananiah, the son of Azzur the prophet, who came from Gibeon, said to Jeremiah in the house of the Lord, before the priests and all the people,

bbe@Jeremiah:28:4 @And I will let Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, come back to this place, with all the prisoners of Judah who went to Babylon, says the Lord: for I will have the yoke of the king of Babylon broken.

bbe@Jeremiah:28:6 @The prophet Jeremiah said, So be it: may the Lord do so: may the Lord give effect to the words which you have said, and let the vessels of the Lord's house, and all the people who have been taken away, come back from Babylon to this place.

bbe@Jeremiah:28:11 @And before all the people Hananiah said, The Lord has said, Even so will I let the yoke of the king of Babylon be broken off the necks of all the nations in the space of two years. Then the prophet Jeremiah went away.

bbe@Jeremiah:28:16 @For this reason the Lord has said, See, I will send you away from off the face of the earth: this year death will overtake you, because you have said words against the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:28:17 @So death came to Hananiah the prophet the same year, in the seventh month.

bbe@Jeremiah:29:1 @Now these are the words of the letter which Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the responsible men among those who had been taken away, and to the priests and the prophets and to all the rest of the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had taken away prisoners from Jerusalem to Babylon;

bbe@Jeremiah:29:3 @By the hand of Elasah, the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah, the son of Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah, king of Judah, sent to Babylon, to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon,) saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:29:4 @This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said to all those whom I have taken away prisoners from Jerusalem to Babylon:

bbe@Jeremiah:29:6 @Take wives and have sons and daughters, and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, so that they may have sons and daughters; and be increased in number there and do not become less.

bbe@Jeremiah:29:7 @And be working for the peace of the land to which I have had you taken away prisoners, and make prayer to the Lord for it: for in its peace you will have peace.

bbe@Jeremiah:29:14 @I will be near you again, says the Lord, and your fate will be changed, and I will get you together from all the nations and from all the places where I had sent you away, says the Lord; and I will take you back again to the place from which I sent you away prisoners.

bbe@Jeremiah:29:16 @For this is what the Lord has said about the king who is seated on the seat of David's kingdom, and about all the people living in this town, your countrymen who have not gone out with you as prisoners;

bbe@Jeremiah:29:17 @This is what the Lord of armies has said: See, I will send on them the sword and need of food and disease, and will make them like bad figs, which are of no use for food, they are so bad

bbe@Jeremiah:29:20 @And now, give ear to the word of the Lord, all you whom I have sent away prisoners from Jerusalem to Babylon.

bbe@Jeremiah:29:21 @This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said about Ahab, the son of Kolaiah, and about Zedekiah, the son of Maaseiah, who are saying to you what is false in my name: See, I will give them up into the hands of Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, and he will put them to death before your eyes.

bbe@Jeremiah:29:22 @And their fate will be used as a curse by all the prisoners of Judah who are in Babylon, who will say, May the Lord make you like Zedekiah and like Ahab, who were burned in the fire by the king of Babylon;

bbe@Jeremiah:29:25 @Shemaiah the Nehelamite sent a letter in his name to Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah the priest, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:29:26 @The Lord has made you priest in place of Jehoiada the priest, to be an overseer in the house of the Lord for every man who is off his head and is acting as a prophet, to put such men in prison and in chains.

bbe@Jeremiah:29:27 @So why have you made no protest against Jeremiah of Anathoth, who is acting as a prophet to you?

bbe@Jeremiah:30:3 @For see, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will let the fate of my people Israel and Judah be changed, says the Lord: and I will make them come back to the land which I gave to their fathers, so that they may take it for their heritage.

bbe@Jeremiah:30:7 @Ha! for that day is so great that there is no day like it: it is the time of Jacob's trouble: but he will get salvation from it.

bbe@Jeremiah:30:10 @So have no fear, O Jacob, my servant, says the Lord; and do not be troubled, O Israel: for see, I will make you come back from far away, and your seed from the land where they are prisoners; and Jacob will come back, and will be quiet and at peace, and no one will give him cause for fear.

bbe@Jeremiah:30:15 @Why are you crying for help because of your wound? for your pain may never be taken away: because your evil-doing was so great and because your sins were increased, I have done these things to you.

bbe@Jeremiah:30:16 @For this cause, all those who take you for their food will themselves become your food; and all your attackers, every one of them, will be taken prisoners; and those who send destruction on you will come to destruction; and all those who take away your goods by force will undergo the same themselves.

bbe@Jeremiah:30:19 @And from them will go out praise and the sound of laughing: and I will make them great in number, and they will not become less; and I will give them glory, and they will not be small

bbe@Jeremiah:30:21 @And their chief will be of their number; their ruler will come from among themselves; and I will let him be present before me, so that he may come near to me: for who may have strength of heart to come near me? says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:3 @From far away he saw the Lord: my love for you is an eternal love: so with mercy I have made you come with me.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:7 @For the Lord has said, Make a glad song for Jacob and give a cry on the top of the mountains: give the news, give praise, and say, The Lord has given salvation to his people, even to the rest of Israel.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:9 @They will come with weeping, and going before them I will be their guide: guiding them by streams of water in a straight way where there is no falling: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is the first of my sons.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:12 @So they will come with songs on the high places, flowing together to the good things of the Lord, to the grain and the wine and the oil, to the young ones of the flock and of the herd: their souls will be like a watered garden, and they will have no more sorrow.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:13 @Then the virgin will have joy in the dance, and the young men and the old will be glad: for I will have their weeping turned into joy, I will give them comfort and make them glad after their sorrow.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:15 @So has the Lord said: In Ramah there is a sound of crying, weeping and bitter sorrow; Rachel weeping for her children; she will not be comforted for their loss.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:16 @The Lord has said this: Keep your voice from sorrow and your eyes from weeping: for your work will be rewarded, says the Lord; and they will come back from the land of their hater.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:19 @Truly, after I had been turned, I had regret for my ways; and after I had got knowledge, I made signs of sorrow: I was put to shame, truly, I was covered with shame, because I had to undergo the shame of my early years.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:20 @Is Ephraim my dear son? is he the child of my delight? for whenever I say things against him, I still keep him in my memory: so my heart is troubled for him; I will certainly have mercy on him, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:23 @So the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said, Again will these words be used in the land of Judah and in its towns, when I have let their fate be changed: May the blessing of the Lord be on you, O resting-place of righteousness, O holy mountain.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:25 @For I have given new strength to the tired soul and to every sorrowing soul in full measure.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:28 @And it will come about that, as I have been watching over them for the purpose of uprooting and smashing down and overturning and sending destruction and causing trouble; so I will be watching over them for the purpose of building up and planting, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:7 @See, Hanamel, the son of Shallum, your father's brother, will come to you and say, Give the price and get for yourself my property in Anathoth: for you have the right of the nearest relation.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:8 @So Hanamel, the son of my father's brother, came to me, as the Lord had said, to the place of the armed watchmen, and said to me, Give the price and get my property which is in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin: for you have the nearest relation's right to the heritage; so get it for yourself. Then it was clear to me that this was the word of the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:9 @So I got for a price the property in Anathoth from Hanamel, the son of my father's brother, and gave him the money, seventeen shekels of silver;

bbe@Jeremiah:32:11 @So I took the paper witnessing the business, one copy rolled up and stamped, and one copy open:

bbe@Jeremiah:32:12 @And I gave the paper to Baruch, the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, before the eyes of Hanamel, the son of my father's brother, and of the witnesses who had put their names to the paper, and before all the Jews who were seated in the place of the armed watchmen.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:14 @This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: Take these papers, the witness of this business, the one which is rolled up and stamped, and the one which is open; and put them in a vessel of earth so that they may be kept for a long time.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:16 @Now after I had given the paper to Baruch, the son of Neriah, I made my prayer to the Lord, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:32:19 @Great in wisdom and strong in act: whose eyes are open on all the ways of the sons of men, giving to everyone the reward of his ways and the fruit of his doings:

bbe@Jeremiah:32:23 @And they came in and took it for their heritage, but they did not give ear to your voice, and were not ruled by your law; they have done nothing of all you gave them orders to do: so you have made all this evil come on them:

bbe@Jeremiah:32:27 @See, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there anything so hard that I am unable to do it?

bbe@Jeremiah:32:28 @So this is what the Lord has said: See, I am giving this town into the hands of the Chaldaeans and into the hands of Nebuchadrezzar, the king of Babylon, and he will take it:

bbe@Jeremiah:32:31 @For this town has been to me a cause of wrath and of burning passion from the day of its building till this day, so that I put it away from before my face:

bbe@Jeremiah:32:35 @And they put up the high places of the Baal in the valley of the son of Hinnom, making their sons and their daughters go through the fire to Molech; which I did not give them orders to do, and it never came into my mind that they would do this disgusting thing, causing Judah to be turned out of the way.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:39 @And I will give them one heart and one way, so that they may go on in the worship of me for ever, for their good and the good of their children after them:

bbe@Jeremiah:32:40 @And I will make an eternal agreement with them, that I will never give them up, but ever do them good; and I will put the fear of me in their hearts, so that they will not go away from me.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:41 @And truly, I will take pleasure in doing them good, and all my heart and soul will be given to planting them in this land in good faith.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:42 @For the Lord has said: As I have made all this great evil come on this people, so I will send on them all the good which I said about them.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:44 @Men will get fields for money, and put the business in writing, stamping the papers and having them witnessed, in the land of Benjamin and in the country round Jerusalem and in the towns of Judah and in the towns of the hill-country and in the towns of the lowland and in the towns of the South: for I will let their fate be changed, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:33:10 @This is what the Lord has said: There will again be sounding in this place, of which you say, It is a waste, without man and without beast; even in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem which are waste and unpeopled, without man and without beast,

bbe@Jeremiah:33:11 @Happy sounds, the voice of joy, the voice of the newly-married man and the voice of the bride, the voices of those who say, Give praise to the Lord of armies, for the Lord is good, for his mercy is unchanging for ever: the voices of those who go with praise into the house of the Lord. For I will let the land come back to its first condition, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:33:13 @In the towns of the hill-country, in the towns of the lowland, and in the towns of the South and in the land of Benjamin and in the country round Jerusalem and in the towns of Judah, the flocks will again go under the hand of him who is numbering them, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:33:20 @The Lord has said: If it is possible for my agreement of the day and the night to be broken, so that day and night no longer come at their fixed times,

bbe@Jeremiah:33:21 @Then my agreement with my servant David may be broken, so that he no longer has a son to take his place on the seat of the kingdom; and my agreement with the Levites, the priests, my servants.

bbe@Jeremiah:33:22 @As it is not possible for the army of heaven to be numbered, or the sand of the sea measured, so will I make the seed of my servant David, and the Levites my servants.

bbe@Jeremiah:33:26 @Then I will give up caring for the seed of Jacob and of David my servant, so that I will not take of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will let their fate be changed and will have mercy on them.

bbe@Jeremiah:34:9 @That every man was to let his Hebrew man-servant and his Hebrew servant-girl go free; so that no one might make use of a Jew, his countryman, as a servant:

bbe@Jeremiah:34:10 @And this was done by all the rulers and the people who had taken part in the agreement, and every one let his man-servant and his servant-girl go free, not to be used as servants any longer; they did so, and let them go.

bbe@Jeremiah:34:12 @For this reason the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:34:13 @The Lord, the God of Israel, has said, I made an agreement with your fathers on the day when I took them out of Egypt, out of the prison-house, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:34:17 @And so the Lord has said, You have not given ear to me and undertaken publicly, every man to let loose his countryman and his neighbour: see, I undertake to let loose against you the sword and disease and need of food; and I will send you wandering among all the kingdoms of the earth.

bbe@Jeremiah:35:1 @The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, in the days of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:35:3 @Then I took Jaazaniah, the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, and his brothers and all his sons and all the Rechabites;

bbe@Jeremiah:35:4 @And I took them into the house of the Lord, into the room of the sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, the man of God, which was near the rulers' room, which was over the room of Maaseiah, the son of Shallum, the keeper of the door;

bbe@Jeremiah:35:5 @And I put before the sons of the Rechabites basins full of wine and cups, and I said to them, Take some wine.

bbe@Jeremiah:35:6 @But they said, We will take no wine: for Jonadab, the son of Rechab our father, gave us orders, saying, You are to take no wine, you or your sons, for ever:

bbe@Jeremiah:35:7 @And you are to make no houses, or put in seed, or get vine-gardens planted, or have any: but all your days you are to go on living in tents, so that you may have a long life in the land where you are living as in a strange country.

bbe@Jeremiah:35:8 @And we have kept the rules of Jonadab, the son of Rechab our father, in everything which he gave us orders to do, drinking no wine all our days, we and our wives and our sons and our daughters;

bbe@Jeremiah:35:11 @But when Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, came up into the land, we said, Come, let us go to Jerusalem, away from the army of the Chaldaeans and from the army of the Aramaeans: and so we are living in Jerusalem.

bbe@Jeremiah:35:14 @The orders which Jonadab, the son of Rechab, gave to his sons to take no wine, are done, and to this day they take no wine, for they do the orders of their father: but I have sent my words to you, getting up early and sending them, and you have not given ear to me.

bbe@Jeremiah:35:16 @Though the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have done the orders of their father which he gave them, this people has not given ear to me:

bbe@Jeremiah:35:17 @For this reason the Lord, the God of armies, the God of Israel, has said, See, I will send on Judah and on all the people of Jerusalem all the evil which I said I would do to them: because I sent my words to them, but they did not give ear; crying out to them, but they gave no answer.

bbe@Jeremiah:35:19 @For this reason the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said, Jonadab, the son of Rechab, will never be without a man to take his place before me.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:1 @Now it came about in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, that this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:36:3 @It may be that the people of Judah, hearing of all the evil which it is my purpose to do to them, will be turned, every man from his evil ways; so that they may have my forgiveness for their evil-doing and their sin.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:4 @Then Jeremiah sent for Baruch, the son of Neriah; and Baruch took down from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the Lord which he had said to him, writing them in a book.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:6 @So you are to go, reading there from the book, which you have taken down from my mouth, the words of the Lord, in the hearing of the people in the Lord's house, on a day when they go without food, and in the hearing of all the men of Judah who have come out from their towns.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:8 @And Baruch, the son of Neriah, did as Jeremiah the prophet gave him orders to do, reading from the book the words of the Lord in the Lord's house.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:9 @Now it came about in the fifth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, that it was given out publicly that all the people in Jerusalem, and all the people who came from the towns of Judah to Jerusalem, were to keep from food before the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:10 @Then Baruch gave a public reading of the words of Jeremiah from the book, in the house of the Lord, in the room of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the higher square, as one goes in by the new doorway of the Lord's house, in the hearing of all the people.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:11 @And Micaiah, the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, after hearing all the words of the Lord from the book,

bbe@Jeremiah:36:12 @Went down to the king's house, to the scribe's room: and all the rulers were seated there, Elishama the scribe and Delaiah, the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan, the son of Achbor, and Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah, the son of Hananiah, and all the rulers.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:14 @So all the rulers sent Jehudi, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, Take in your hand the book from which you have been reading to the people and come. So Baruch, the son of Neriah, took the book in his hand and came down to them.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:15 @Then they said to him, Be seated now, and give us a reading from it. So Baruch did so, reading it to them.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:21 @So the king sent Jehudi to get the book, and he took it from the room of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi gave a reading of it in the hearing of the king and all the rulers who were by the king's side.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:26 @And the king gave orders to Jerahmeel, the king's son, and Seraiah, the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah, the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet: but the Lord kept them safe.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:30 @For this reason the Lord has said of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, He will have no son to take his place on the seat of David: his dead body will be put out to undergo the heat of the day and the cold of the night.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:32 @Then Jeremiah took another book, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah, who put down in it, from the mouth of Jeremiah, all the words of the book which had been burned in the fire by Jehoiakim, king of Judah: and in addition a number of other words of the same sort.

bbe@Jeremiah:37:1 @And Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, became king in place of Coniah, the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, made king in the land of Judah.

bbe@Jeremiah:37:3 @And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal, the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Make prayer now to the Lord our God for us.

bbe@Jeremiah:37:4 @(Now Jeremiah was going about among the people, for they had not put him in prison.

bbe@Jeremiah:37:13 @But when he was at the Benjamin door, a captain of the watch named Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah, who was stationed there, put his hand on Jeremiah the prophet, saying, You are going to give yourself up to the Chaldaeans.

bbe@Jeremiah:37:14 @Then Jeremiah said, That is not true; I am not going to the Chaldaeans. But he would not give ear to him: so Irijah made him prisoner and took him to the rulers.

bbe@Jeremiah:37:15 @And the rulers were angry with Jeremiah, and gave him blows and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe: for they had made that the prison.

bbe@Jeremiah:37:16 @So Jeremiah came into the hole of the prison, under the arches, and was there for a long time.

bbe@Jeremiah:37:18 @Then Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, What has been my sin against you or against your servants or against this people, that you have put me in prison?

bbe@Jeremiah:37:21 @Then by the order of Zedekiah the king, Jeremiah was put into the place of the armed watchmen, and they gave him every day a cake of bread from the street of the bread-makers, till all the bread in the town was used up. So Jeremiah was kept in the place of the armed watchmen.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:1 @Now it came to the ears of Shephatiah, the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah, the son of Pashhur, and Jucal, the son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur, the son of Malchiah, that Jeremiah had said to all the people,

bbe@Jeremiah:38:6 @So they took Jeremiah and put him into the water-hole of Malchiah, the king's son, in the place of the armed watchmen: and they let Jeremiah down with cords. And in the hole there was no water, but wet earth: and Jeremiah went down into the wet earth.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:11 @So Ebed-melech took the men with him and went into the house of the king, to the place where the clothing was kept, and got from there old clothing and bits of old cloth, and let them down by cords into the water-hole where Jeremiah was.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:12 @And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, Put these bits of old cloth under your arms under the cords. And Jeremiah did so.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:13 @So pulling Jeremiah up with the cords they got him out of the water-hole: and Jeremiah was kept in the place of the armed watchmen.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:16 @So King Zedekiah gave his oath to Jeremiah secretly, saying, By the living Lord, who gave us our life, I will not put you to death, or give you up to these men who are desiring to take your life.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:27 @Then all the rulers came to Jeremiah, questioning him: and he gave them an answer in the words the king had given him orders to say. So they said nothing more to him; for the thing was not made public.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:28 @So Jeremiah was kept in the place of the armed watchmen till the day when Jerusalem was taken.

bbe@Jeremiah:39:5 @But the Chaldaean army went after them and overtook Zedekiah in the lowlands of Jericho: and they made him a prisoner and took him up to Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, to Riblah in the land of Hamath, to be judged by him.

bbe@Jeremiah:39:6 @Then the king of Babylon put the sons of Zedekiah to death before his eyes in Riblah: and the king of Babylon put to death all the great men of Judah.

bbe@Jeremiah:39:9 @Then Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, took away to Babylon as prisoners, all the rest of the workmen who were still in the town, as well as those who had given themselves up to him, and all the rest of the people.

bbe@Jeremiah:39:13 @So Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, sent Nebushazban, the Rab-saris, and Nergal-shar-ezer, the Rabmag, and all the chief captains of the king of Babylon,

bbe@Jeremiah:39:14 @And they sent and took Jeremiah out of the place of the watchmen, and gave him into the care of Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, to take him to his house: so he was living among the people.

bbe@Jeremiah:40:1 @The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, after Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him; for he had been put in chains, among all the prisoners of Jerusalem and Judah who were taken away prisoners to Babylon.

bbe@Jeremiah:40:5 @Then go back to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has made ruler over the towns of Judah, and make your living-place with him among the people; or go wherever it seems right to you to go. So the captain of the armed men gave him food and some money and let him go.

bbe@Jeremiah:40:6 @So Jeremiah went to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, in Mizpah, and was living with him among the people who were still in the land.

bbe@Jeremiah:40:7 @Now when it came to the ears of all the captains of the forces who were in the field, and their men, that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, ruler in the land, and had put under his care the men and women and children, all the poorest of the land, those who had not been taken away to Babylon;

bbe@Jeremiah:40:8 @Then they came to Gedaliah in Mizpah, even Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and Seraiah, the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah, the son of the Maacathite, they and their men.

bbe@Jeremiah:40:9 @And Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, took an oath to them and their men, saying, Have no fear of the servants of the Chaldaeans: go on living in the land, and become the servants of the king of Babylon, and all will be well.

bbe@Jeremiah:40:11 @In the same way, when all the Jews who were in Moab and among the children of Ammon and in Edom and in all the countries, had news that the king of Babylon had let Judah keep some of its people and that he had put over them Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan;

bbe@Jeremiah:40:13 @Now Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces which were in the field, came to Gedaliah in Mizpah,

bbe@Jeremiah:40:14 @And said to him, Has it come to your knowledge that Baalis, the king of the children of Ammon, has sent Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, to take your life? But Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, put no faith in what they said.

bbe@Jeremiah:40:15 @Then Johanan, the son of Kareah, said to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, Let me now go and put Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, to death without anyone's knowledge: why let him take your life so that all the Jews who have come together to you may be sent in flight, and the rest of the men of Judah come to an end?

bbe@Jeremiah:40:16 @But Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, said to Johanan, the son of Kareah, You are not to do this: for what you say about Ishmael is false.

bbe@Jeremiah:41:1 @Now it came about in the seventh month that Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the king's seed, having with him ten men, came to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, in Mizpah; and they had a meal together in Mizpah.

bbe@Jeremiah:41:2 @Then Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men who were with him, got up, and attacking Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword, put to death him whom the king of Babylon had made ruler over the land.

bbe@Jeremiah:41:5 @Some people came from Shechem, from Shiloh and Samaria, eighty men, with the hair of their faces cut off and their clothing out of order, and with cuts on their bodies, and in their hands meal offerings and perfumes which they were taking to the house of the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:41:6 @And Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, went out from Mizpah with the purpose of meeting them, weeping on his way: and it came about that when he was face to face with them he said, Come to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam.

bbe@Jeremiah:41:7 @And when they came inside the town, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and the men who were with him, put them to death and put their bodies into a deep hole.

bbe@Jeremiah:41:8 @But there were ten men among them who said to Ishmael, Do not put us to death, for we have secret stores, in the country, of grain and oil and honey. So he did not put them to death with their countrymen.

bbe@Jeremiah:41:9 @Now the hole into which Ishmael had put the dead bodies of the men whom he had put to death, was the great hole which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha, king of Israel: and Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, made it full of the bodies of those who had been put to death.

bbe@Jeremiah:41:10 @Then Ishmael took away as prisoners all the rest of the people who were in Mizpah, the king's daughters and all the people still in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, had put under the care of Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam: Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, took them away prisoners with the purpose of going over to the children of Ammon.

bbe@Jeremiah:41:11 @But when Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the armed forces who were with him, had news of all the evil which Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had done,

bbe@Jeremiah:41:12 @They took their men and went out to make war on Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and they came face to face with him by the great waters in Gibeon.

bbe@Jeremiah:41:13 @Now when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces with him, then they were glad.

bbe@Jeremiah:41:14 @And all the people whom Ishmael had taken away prisoners from Mizpah, turning round, came back and went to Johanan, the son of Kareah.

bbe@Jeremiah:41:15 @But Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, got away from Johanan, with eight men, and went to the children of Ammon.

bbe@Jeremiah:41:16 @Then Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, took all the rest of the people whom Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had made prisoners, after he had put to death Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the people from Mizpah, that is, the men of war and the women and the children and the unsexed servants, whom he had taken back with him from Gibeon:

bbe@Jeremiah:41:18 @Because of the Chaldaeans: for they were in fear of them because Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had put to death Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had made ruler over the land.

bbe@Jeremiah:42:1 @Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah, the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least to the greatest, came near,

bbe@Jeremiah:42:6 @If it is good or if it is evil, we will be guided by the voice of the Lord our God, to whom we are sending you; so that it may be well for us when we give ear to the voice of the Lord our God.

bbe@Jeremiah:42:8 @And he sent for Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were still with him, and all the people, from the least to the greatest,

bbe@Jeremiah:42:12 @And I will have mercy on you, so that he may have mercy on you and let you go back to your land.

bbe@Jeremiah:42:14 @Saying, No, but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we will not see war, or be hearing the sound of the horn, or be in need of food; there we will make our living-place;

bbe@Jeremiah:42:18 @For this is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: As my wrath and passion have been let loose on the people of Jerusalem, so will my passion be let loose on you when you go into Egypt: and you will become an oath and a cause of wonder and a curse and a name of shame; and you will never see this place again.

bbe@Jeremiah:43:2 @Then Azariah, the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the men of pride, said to Jeremiah, You have said what is false: the Lord our God has not sent you to say, You are not to go into the land of Egypt and make your living-place there:

bbe@Jeremiah:43:3 @But Baruch, the son of Neriah, is moving you against us, to give us up into the hands of the Chaldaeans so that they may put us to death, and take us away prisoners into Babylon.

bbe@Jeremiah:43:4 @So Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, did not give ear to the order of the Lord that they were to go on living in the land of Judah.

bbe@Jeremiah:43:5 @But Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces took all the rest of Judah who had come back into the land of Judah from all the nations where they had been forced to go;

bbe@Jeremiah:43:9 @Take in your hand some great stones, and put them in a safe place in the paste in the brickwork which is at the way into Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes, before the eyes of the men of Judah;

bbe@Jeremiah:44:5 @But they gave no attention, and their ears were not open so that they might be turned from their evil-doing and from burning perfume to other gods.

bbe@Jeremiah:44:7 @So now, the Lord, the God of armies, the God of Israel, has said, Why are you doing this great evil against yourselves, causing every man and woman, little child and baby at the breast among you in Judah to be cut off till not one is still living;

bbe@Jeremiah:44:8 @Moving me to wrath with the work of your hands, burning perfumes to other gods in the land of Egypt, where you have gone to make a place for yourselves, so that you may become a curse and a name of shame among all the nations of the earth?

bbe@Jeremiah:44:11 @So this is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: See, my face will be turned against you for evil, for the cutting off of all Judah;

bbe@Jeremiah:44:14 @So that not one of the rest of Judah, who have gone into the land of Egypt and are living there, will get away or keep his life, to come back to the land of Judah where they are hoping to come back and be living again: for not one will come back, but only those who are able to get away.

bbe@Jeremiah:44:23 @Because you have been burning perfumes, and sinning against the Lord, and have not given ear to the voice of the Lord, or gone in the way of his law or his rules or his orders; for this reason this evil has come on you, as it is today.

bbe@Jeremiah:44:29 @And this will be the sign to you, says the Lord, that I will give you punishment in this place, so that you may see that my words will certainly have effect against you for evil:

bbe@Jeremiah:45:1 @The words which Jeremiah the prophet said to Baruch, the son of Neriah, when he put these words down in a book from the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah; he said,

bbe@Jeremiah:45:3 @You said, Sorrow is mine! for the Lord has given me sorrow in addition to my pain; I am tired with the sound of my sorrow, and I get no rest.

bbe@Jeremiah:46:2 @Of Egypt: about the army of Pharaoh-neco, king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, overcame in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah.

bbe@Jeremiah:46:18 @By my life, says the King, whose name is the Lord of armies, truly, like Tabor among the mountains and like Carmel by the sea, so will he come.

bbe@Jeremiah:46:19 @O daughter living in Egypt, make ready the vessels of a prisoner: for Noph will become a waste, it will be burned up and become unpeopled.

bbe@Jeremiah:46:22 @She makes a sound like the hiss of a snake when they come on with strength; they go against her with axes, like wood-cutters.

bbe@Jeremiah:46:27 @But have no fear, O Jacob, my servant, and do not be troubled, O Israel: for see, I will make you come back from far away, and your seed from the land where they are prisoners; and Jacob will come back, and will be quiet and in peace, and no one will give him cause for fear.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:1 @Of Moab. The Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: Sorrow on Nebo, for it has been made waste; Kiriathaim has been put to shame and is taken: the strong place is put to shame and broken down.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:3 @There is the sound of crying from Horonaim, wasting and great destruction;

bbe@Jeremiah:48:7 @For because you have put your faith in your strong places, you, even you, will be taken: and Chemosh will go out as a prisoner, his priests and his rulers together.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:11 @From his earliest days, Moab has been living in comfort; like wine long stored he has not been drained from vessel to vessel, he has never gone away as a prisoner: so his taste is still in him, his smell is unchanged.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:12 @So truly, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will send to him men who will have him turned over till there is no more wine in his vessels, and his wine-skins will be completely broken.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:20 @Moab has been put to shame, she is broken: make loud sounds of grief, crying out for help; give the news in Arnon, that Moab has been made waste.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:30 @I have knowledge of his wrath, says the Lord, that it is nothing; his high-sounding words have done nothing.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:31 @For this cause I will give cries of grief for Moab, crying out for Moab, even for all of it; I will be sorrowing for the men of Kir-heres.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:33 @All joy is gone; no longer are they glad for the fertile field and for the land of Moab; I have made the wine come to an end from the crushing vessels: no longer will the grapes be crushed with the sound of glad voices.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:34 @The cry of Heshbon comes even to Elealeh; to Jahaz their voice is sounding; from Zoar even to Horonaim and to Eglath-shelishiyah: for the waters of Nimrim will become dry.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:36 @So my heart is sounding for Moab like the sound of pipes, and my heart is sounding like pipes for the men of Kir-heres: for the wealth he has got for himself has come to an end.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:39 @How is it broken down! how is Moab's back turned in shame! so Moab will be a cause of sport and of fear to everyone round about him.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:46 @Sorrow is yours, O Moab! the people of Chemosh are overcome: for your sons have been taken away as prisoners, and your daughters made servants.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:1 @About the children of Ammon. These are the words of the Lord: Has Israel no sons? has he no one to take the heritage? why then has Milcom taken Gad for himself, putting his people in its towns?

bbe@Jeremiah:49:2 @Because of this, see, the days are coming when I will have a cry of war sounded against Rabbah, the town of the children of Ammon; it will become a waste of broken walls, and her daughter-towns will be burned with fire: then Israel will take the heritage of those who took his heritage, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:3 @Make sounds of grief, O Heshbon, for Ai is wasted; give loud cries, O daughters of Rabbah, and put haircloth round you: give yourselves to weeping, running here and there and wounding yourselves; for Milcom will be taken prisoner together with his rulers and his priests.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:9 @If men came to get your grapes, would they not let some be uncut on the vines? if thieves came by night, would they not make waste till they had enough?

bbe@Jeremiah:49:10 @I have had Esau searched out, uncovering his secret places, so that he may not keep himself covered: his seed is wasted and has come to an end, and there is no help from his neighbours.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:17 @And Edom will become a cause of wonder: everyone who goes by will be overcome with wonder, and make sounds of fear at all her punishments.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:18 @As at the downfall of Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighbouring towns, says the Lord, no man will be living in it, no son of man will have a resting-place there.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:21 @The earth is shaking with the noise of their fall; their cry is sounding in the Red Sea.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:24 @Damascus has become feeble, she is turned to flight, fear has taken her in its grip: pain and sorrows have come on her, as on a woman in birth-pains.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:26 @So her young men will be falling in her streets, and all the men of war will be cut off in that day, says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:33 @And Hazor will be a hole for jackals, a waste for ever: no one will be living in it, and no son of man will have a resting-place there.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:13 @Because of the wrath of the Lord no one will be living in it, and it will be quite unpeopled: everyone who goes by Babylon will be overcome with wonder, and make sounds of fear at all her punishments.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:15 @Give a loud cry against her on every side; she has given herself up, her supports are overturned, her walls are broken down: for it is the payment taken by the Lord; give her payment; as she has done, so do to her.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:18 @So this is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: See, I will send punishment on the king of Babylon and on his land, as I have given punishment to the king of Assyria.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:22 @There is a sound of war in the land and of great destruction.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:27 @Put all her oxen to the sword; let them go down to death: sorrow is theirs, for their day has come, the time of their punishment.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:29 @Send for the archers to come together against Babylon, all the bowmen; put up your tents against her on every side; let no one get away: give her the reward of her work; as she has done, so do to her: for she has been uplifted in pride against the Lord, against the Holy One of Israel.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:33 @This is what the Lord of armies has said: The children of Israel and the children of Judah are crushed down together: all those who took them prisoner keep them in a tight grip; they will not let them go.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:34 @Their saviour is strong; the Lord of armies is his name: he will certainly take up their cause, so that he may give rest to the earth and trouble to the people of Babylon.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:39 @For this reason the beasts of the waste land with the wolves will make their holes there and the ostriches will be living in it: never again will men be living there, it will be unpeopled from generation to generation.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:40 @As when Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighbouring towns were overturned by God, says the Lord, so no man will be living in it, and no son of man will have a resting-place there.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:45 @So give ear to the decision of the Lord which he has made against Babylon, and to his purposes designed against the land of the Chaldaeans; Truly, they will be pulled away by the smallest of the flock; truly, he will make waste their fields with them.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:6 @Go in flight out of Babylon, so that every man may keep his life; do not be cut off in her evil-doing: for it is the time of the Lord's punishment; he will give her her reward.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:16 @At the sound of his voice there is a massing of the waters in the heavens, and he makes the mists go up from the ends of the earth; he makes the thunder-flames for the rain and sends out the wind from his store-houses.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:27 @Let a flag be lifted up in the land, let the horn be sounded among the nations, make the nations ready against her; get the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz together against her, make ready a scribe against her; let the horses come up against her like massed locusts.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:36 @For this reason the Lord has said: See, I will give support to your cause, and take payment for what you have undergone; I will make her sea dry, and her fountain without water.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:39 @When they are heated, I will make a feast for them, and overcome them with wine, so that they may become unconscious, sleeping an eternal sleep without awaking, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:43 @Her towns have become a waste, a dry and unwatered land, where no man has his living-place and no son of man goes by.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:46 @So that your hearts may not become feeble and full of fear because of the news which will go about in the land; for a story will go about one year, and after that in another year another story, and violent acts in the land, ruler against ruler.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:48 @And the heaven and the earth and everything in them, will make a song of joy over Babylon: for those who make her waste will come from the north, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:49 @As Babylon had the dead of Israel put to the sword, so in Babylon the dead of all the land will be stretched out.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:52 @For this reason, see, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will send punishment on her images; and through all her land the wounded will be crying out in pain.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:54 @There is the sound of a cry from Babylon, and of a great destruction from the land of the Chaldaeans:

bbe@Jeremiah:51:55 @For the Lord is making Babylon waste, and putting an end to the great voice coming out of her; and her waves are thundering like great waters, their voice is sounding loud:

bbe@Jeremiah:51:58 @The Lord of armies has said: The wide walls of Babylon will be completely uncovered and her high doorways will be burned with fire; so peoples keep on working for nothing, and the weariness of nations comes to an end in the smoke.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:59 @The order which Jeremiah the prophet gave to Seraiah, the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, when he went with Zedekiah, the king of Judah, to Babylon in the fourth year of his rule. Now Seraiah was the chief controller of the house.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:62 @And after reading them, say, O Lord, you have said about this place that it is to be cut off, so that no one will be living in it, not a man or a beast, but it will be unpeopled for ever.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:64 @And you are to say, So Babylon will go down, never to be lifted up again, because of the evil which I will send on her: and weariness will overcome them. So far, these are the words of Jeremiah.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:5 @So the town was shut in by their forces till the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:6 @In the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month, the store of food in the town was almost gone, so that there was no food for the people of the land.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:9 @Then they made the king a prisoner and took him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath to be judged.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:10 @And the king of Babylon put the sons of Zedekiah to death before his eyes: and he put to death all the rulers of Judah in Riblah.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:11 @And he put out Zedekiah's eyes; and the king of Babylon, chaining him in iron bands, took him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:15 @Then Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, took away as prisoners the rest of the people who were still in the town, and those who had given themselves up to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the workmen.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:18 @And the pots and the spades and the scissors for the lights and the spoons, and all the brass vessels used in the Lord's house, they took away.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:20 @The two pillars, the great water-vessel, and the twelve brass oxen which were under it, and the ten wheeled bases, which King Solomon had made for the house of the Lord: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:27 @And the king of Babylon put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was taken prisoner away from his land.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:28 @These are the people whom Nebuchadrezzar took away prisoner: in the seventh year, three thousand and twenty-three Jews:

bbe@Jeremiah:52:29 @And in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he took away as prisoners from Jerusalem eight hundred and thirty-two persons:

bbe@Jeremiah:52:30 @In the twenty-third year of Nebuchadrezzar, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, took away as prisoners seven hundred and forty-five of the Jews: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:31 @And in the thirty-seventh year after Jehoiachin, king of Judah, had been taken prisoner, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth day of the month, Evil-merodach, king of Babylon, in the first year after he became king, took Jehoiachin, king of Judah, out of prison.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:33 @And his prison clothing was changed, and he was a guest at the king's table every day for the rest of his life.

bbe@Lamentations:1:2 @She is sorrowing bitterly in the night, and her face is wet with weeping; among all her lovers she has no comforter: all her friends have been false to her, they have become her haters.

bbe@Lamentations:1:3 @Judah has been taken away as a prisoner because of trouble and hard work; her living-place is among the nations, there is no rest for her: all her attackers have overtaken her in a narrow place.

bbe@Lamentations:1:4 @The ways of Zion are sad, because no one comes to the holy meeting; all her doorways are made waste, her priests are breathing out sorrow: her virgins are troubled, and it is bitter for her.

bbe@Lamentations:1:5 @Those who are against her have become the head, everything goes well for her haters; for the Lord has sent sorrow on her because of the great number of her sins: her young children have gone away as prisoners before the attacker.

bbe@Lamentations:1:7 @Jerusalem keeps in mind, in the days of her sorrow and of her wanderings, all the desired things which were hers in days gone by; when her people came into the power of her hater and she had no helper, her attackers saw their desire effected on her and made sport of her destruction.

bbe@Lamentations:1:9 @In her skirts were her unclean ways; she gave no thought to her end; and her fall has been a wonder; she has no comforter: see her sorrow, O Lord; for the attacker is lifted up.

bbe@Lamentations:1:18 @The Lord is upright; for I have gone against his orders: give ear, now, all you peoples, and see my pain, my virgins and my young men have gone away as prisoners.

bbe@Lamentations:1:22 @Let all their evil-doing come before you; do to them as you have done to me for all my sins: for loud is the sound of my grief, and the strength of my heart is gone.

bbe@Lamentations:2:5 @The Lord has become like one fighting against her, sending destruction on Israel; he has sent destruction on all her great houses, making waste his strong places: increasing the grief and the sorrow of the daughter of Judah.

bbe@Lamentations:2:8 @It is the Lord's purpose to make waste the wall of the daughter of Zion; his line has been stretched out, he has not kept back his hand from destruction: he has sent sorrow on tower and wall, they have become feeble together.

bbe@Lamentations:2:13 @What example am I to give you? what comparison am I to make for you, O daughter of Jerusalem? what am I to make equal to you, so that I may give you comfort, O virgin daughter of Zion? for your destruction is great like the sea: who is able to make you well?

bbe@Lamentations:2:14 @The visions which your prophets have seen for you are false and foolish; they have not made clear to you your sin so that your fate might be changed: but they have seen for you false words, driving you away.

bbe@Lamentations:2:18 @Let your cry go up to the Lord: O wall of the daughter of Zion, let your weeping be flowing down like a stream day and night; give yourself no rest, let not your eyes keep back the drops of sorrow.

bbe@Lamentations:3:5 @He has put up a wall against me, shutting me in with bitter sorrow.

bbe@Lamentations:3:7 @He has put a wall round me, so that I am not able to go out; he has made great the weight of my chain.

bbe@Lamentations:3:14 @I have become the sport of all the peoples; I am their song all the day.

bbe@Lamentations:3:17 @My soul is sent far away from peace, I have no more memory of good.

bbe@Lamentations:3:19 @Keep in mind my trouble and my wandering, the bitter root and the poison.

bbe@Lamentations:3:20 @My soul still keeps the memory of them; and is bent down in me.

bbe@Lamentations:3:25 @The Lord is good to those who are waiting for him, to the soul which is looking for him.

bbe@Lamentations:3:34 @In a man's crushing under his feet all the prisoners of the earth,

bbe@Lamentations:3:44 @Covering yourself with a cloud, so that prayer may not get through.

bbe@Lamentations:3:51 @The Lord is unkind to my soul, more than all the daughters of my town.

bbe@Lamentations:3:53 @They have put an end to my life in the prison, stoning me with stones.

bbe@Lamentations:3:55 @I was making prayer to your name, O Lord, out of the lowest prison.

bbe@Lamentations:3:58 @O Lord, you have taken up the cause of my soul, you have made my life safe.

bbe@Lamentations:3:63 @Take note of them when they are seated, and when they get up; I am their song.

bbe@Lamentations:4:2 @The valued sons of Zion, whose price was the best gold, are looked on as vessels of earth, the work of the hands of the potter!

bbe@Lamentations:4:6 @For the punishment of the daughter of my people is greater than the punishment of Sodom, which was overturned suddenly without any hand falling on her.

bbe@Lamentations:4:14 @They are wandering like blind men in the streets, they are made unclean with blood, so that their robes may not be touched by men.

bbe@Lamentations:4:18 @They go after our steps so that we may not go in our streets: our end is near, our days are numbered; for our end has come.

bbe@Lamentations:4:22 @The punishment of your evil-doing is complete, O daughter of Zion; never again will he take you away as a prisoner: he will give you the reward of your evil-doing, O daughter of Edom; he will let your sin be uncovered.

bbe@Lamentations:5:6 @We have given our hands to the Egyptians and to the Assyrians so that we might have enough bread.

bbe@Lamentations:5:15 @The joy of our hearts is ended; our dancing is changed into sorrow.

bbe@Lamentations:5:16 @The crown has been taken from our head: sorrow is ours, for we are sinners.

bbe@Lamentations:5:20 @Why have we gone from your memory for ever? why have you been turned away from us for so long?

bbe@Ezekiel:1:1 @Now it came about in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, while I was by the river Chebar among those who had been made prisoners, that the heavens were made open and I saw visions of God.

bbe@Ezekiel:1:2 @On the fifth day of the month, in the fifth year after King Jehoiachin had been made a prisoner,

bbe@Ezekiel:1:3 @The word of the Lord came to me, Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldaeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the Lord was on me there.

bbe@Ezekiel:1:4 @And, looking, I saw a storm-wind coming out of the north, a great cloud with flames of fire coming after one another, and a bright light shining round about it and in the heart of it was something coloured like electrum.

bbe@Ezekiel:1:24 @And when they went, the sound of their wings was like the sound of great waters to my ears, like the voice of the Ruler of all, a sound like the rushing of an army: when they came to rest they let down their wings.

bbe@Ezekiel:1:28 @Like the bow in the cloud on a day of rain, so was the light shining round him. And this is what the glory of the Lord was like. And when I saw it I went down on my face, and the voice of one talking came to my ears.

bbe@Ezekiel:2:1 @And he said to me, Son of man, get up on your feet, so that I may say words to you.

bbe@Ezekiel:2:3 @And he said to me, Son of man, I am sending you to the children of Israel, to an uncontrolled nation which has gone against me: they and their fathers have been sinners against me even to this very day.

bbe@Ezekiel:2:6 @And you, son of man, have no fear of them or of their words, even if sharp thorns are round you and you are living among scorpions: have no fear of their words and do not be overcome by their looks, for they are an uncontrolled people.

bbe@Ezekiel:2:8 @But you, son of man, give ear to what I say to you, and do not be uncontrolled like that uncontrolled people: let your mouth be open and take what I give you.

bbe@Ezekiel:2:10 @And he put it open before me, and it had writing on the front and on the back; words of grief and sorrow and trouble were recorded in it.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:1 @And he said to me, Son of man, take this roll for your food, and go and say my words to the children of Israel.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:3 @And he said to me, Son of man, let your stomach make a meal of it and let your inside be full of this roll which I am giving you. Then I took it, and it was sweet as honey in my mouth.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:4 @And he said to me, Son of man, go now to the children of Israel, and say my words to them.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:10 @Then he said to me, Son of man, take into your heart all my words which I am about to say to you, and let your ears be open to them

bbe@Ezekiel:3:11 @And go now to those who have been taken away as prisoners, to the children of your people, and say to them, This is what the Lord has said; if they give ear or if they do not.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:12 @Then I was lifted up by the wind, and at my back the sound of a great rushing came to my ears when the glory of the Lord was lifted up from his place.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:13 @And there was the sound of the wings of the living beings touching one another, and the sound of the wheels at their side, the sound of a great rushing.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:15 @Then I came to those who had been taken away as prisoners, who were at Telabib by the river Chebar, and I was seated among them full of wonder for seven days.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:17 @Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the children of Israel: so give ear to the word of my mouth, and give them word from me of their danger.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:18 @When I say to the evil-doer, Death will certainly be your fate; and you give him no word of it and say nothing to make clear to the evil-doer the danger of his evil way, so that he may be safe; that same evil man will come to death in his evil-doing; but I will make you responsible for his blood.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:25 @But see, O son of man, I will put bands on you, prisoning you in them, and you will not go out among them:

bbe@Ezekiel:3:26 @And I will make your tongue fixed to the roof of your mouth, so that you have no voice and may not make protests to them: for they are an uncontrolled people.

bbe@Ezekiel:4:1 @And you, son of man, take a back and put it before you and on it make a picture of a town, even Jerusalem.

bbe@Ezekiel:4:4 @Then, stretching yourself out on your left side, take the sin of the children of Israel on yourself: for as long as you are stretched out, so long will the sin of the children of Israel be on you.

bbe@Ezekiel:4:9 @And take for yourself wheat and barley and different sorts of grain, and put them in one vessel and make bread for yourself from them; all the days when you are stretched on your side it will be your food.

bbe@Ezekiel:4:13 @And the Lord said, Even so the children of Israel will have unclean bread for their food among the nations where I am driving them.

bbe@Ezekiel:4:14 @Then I said, Ah, Lord! see, my soul has never been unclean, and I have never taken as my food anything which has come to a natural death or has been broken by beasts, from the time when I was young even till now; no disgusting flesh has ever come into my mouth.

bbe@Ezekiel:4:16 @And he said to me, Son of man, see, I will take away from Jerusalem her necessary bread: they will take their bread by weight and with care, measuring out their drinking-water with fear and wonder:

bbe@Ezekiel:4:17 @So that they may be in need of bread and water and be wondering at one another, wasting away in their sin.

bbe@Ezekiel:5:1 @And you, son of man, take a sharp sword, using it like a haircutter's blade, and making it go over your head and the hair of your chin: and take scales for separating the hair by weight.

bbe@Ezekiel:5:4 @And again take some of these and put them in the fire, burning them up in the fire; and say to all the children of Israel,

bbe@Ezekiel:5:10 @For this cause fathers will take their sons for food among you, and sons will make a meal of their fathers; and I will be judge among you, and all the rest of you I will send away to every wind.

bbe@Ezekiel:5:13 @So my wrath will be complete and my passion will come to rest on them; and they will be certain that I the Lord have given the word of decision, when my wrath against them is complete.

bbe@Ezekiel:6:2 @Son of man, let your face be turned to the mountains of Israel, and be a prophet to them, and say,

bbe@Ezekiel:6:6 @In all your living-places the towns will become broken walls, and the high places made waste; so that your altars may be broken down and made waste, and your images broken and ended, and so that your sun-images may be cut down and your works rubbed out.

bbe@Ezekiel:6:9 @And those of you who are kept safe will have me in mind among the nations where they have been taken away as prisoners, how I sent punishment on their hearts which were untrue to me, and on their eyes which were turned to their false gods: and they will be full of hate for themselves because of the evil things which they have done in all their disgusting ways.

bbe@Ezekiel:6:11 @This is what the Lord has said: Give blows with your hand, stamping with your foot, and say, O sorrow! because of all the evil and disgusting ways of the children of Israel: for death will overtake them by the sword and through need of food and by disease.

bbe@Ezekiel:7:2 @And you, son of man, say, This is what the Lord has said to the land of Israel: An end has come, the end has come on the four quarters of the land.

bbe@Ezekiel:7:12 @The time has come, the day is near: let not him who gives a price for goods be glad, or him who gets the price have sorrow:

bbe@Ezekiel:7:24 @For this reason I will send the worst of the nations and they will take their houses for themselves: I will make the pride of their strength come to an end; and their holy places will be made unclean.

bbe@Ezekiel:7:27 @The king will give himself up to sorrow, and the ruler will be clothed with wonder, and the hands of the people of the land will be troubled: I will give them punishment for their ways, judging them as it is right for them to be judged; and they will be certain that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:2 @And looking, I saw a form like fire; from the middle of his body and down there was fire: and up from the middle of his body a sort of shining, like electrum.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:5 @Then he said to me, Son of man, now let your eyes be lifted up in the direction of the north; and on looking in the direction of the north, to the north of the doorway of the altar, I saw this image of envy by the way in.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:6 @And he said to me, Son of man, do you see what they are doing? even the very disgusting things which the children of Israel are doing here, causing me to go far away from my holy place? but you will see other most disgusting things.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:8 @And he said to me, Son of man, make a hole in the wall: and after making a hole in the wall I saw a door.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:10 @So I went in and saw; and there every sort of living thing which goes flat on the earth, and unclean beasts, and all the images of the children of Israel, were pictured round about on the wall.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:11 @And before them seventy of the responsible men of the children of Israel had taken their places, every man with a vessel for burning perfumes in his hand, and in the middle of them was Jaazaniah, the son of Shaphan; and a cloud of smoke went up from the burning perfume.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:12 @And he said to me, Son of man, have you seen what the responsible men of the children of Israel do in the dark, every man in his room of pictured images? for they say, The Lord does not see us; the Lord has gone away from the land.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:15 @Then he said to me, Have you seen this, O son of man? you will see even more disgusting things than these.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:17 @Then he said to me, Have you seen this, O son of man? is it a small thing to the children of Judah that they do the disgusting things which they are doing here? for they have made the land full of violent behaviour, making me angry again and again: and see, they put the branch to my nose.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:18 @For this reason I will let loose my wrath: my eye will not have mercy, and I will have no pity

bbe@Ezekiel:9:4 @The Lord said to him, Go through the town, through the middle of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the brows of the men who are sorrowing and crying for all the disgusting things which are done in it.

bbe@Ezekiel:9:6 @Give up to destruction old men and young men and virgins, little children and women: but do not come near any man who has the mark on him: and make a start at my holy place. So they made a start with the old men who were before the house.

bbe@Ezekiel:9:8 @Now while they were doing so, and I was untouched, I went down on my face, and crying out, I said, Ah, Lord! will you give all the rest of Israel to destruction in letting loose your wrath on Jerusalem?

bbe@Ezekiel:10:5 @And the sound of the wings of the winged ones was clear even in the outer square, like the voice of the Ruler of all.

bbe@Ezekiel:10:7 @And stretching out his hand to the fire which was between the winged ones, he took some of it and went out.

bbe@Ezekiel:11:1 @And the wind, lifting me up, took me to the east doorway of the Lord's house, looking to the east: and at the door I saw twenty-five men; and among them I saw Jaazaniah, the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah, rulers of the people.

bbe@Ezekiel:11:2 @Then he said to me, Son of man, these are the men who are designing evil, who are teaching evil ways in this town:

bbe@Ezekiel:11:4 @For this cause be a prophet against them, be a prophet, O son of man.

bbe@Ezekiel:11:7 @For this reason the Lord has said: Your dead whom you have put down in its streets, they are the flesh, and this town is the cooking-pot: but I will make you come out from inside it.

bbe@Ezekiel:11:13 @Now while I was saying these things, death came to Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah. Then falling down on my face and crying out with a loud voice, I said, Ah, Lord! will you put an end to all the rest of Israel?

bbe@Ezekiel:11:15 @Son of man, your countrymen, your relations, and all the children of Israel, all of them, are those to whom the people of Jerusalem have said, Go far from the Lord; this land is given to us for a heritage:

bbe@Ezekiel:11:16 @For this reason say, This is what the Lord has said: Though I have had them moved far off among the nations, and though I have sent them wandering among the countries, still I have been a safe place for them for a little time in the countries where they have come.

bbe@Ezekiel:11:20 @So that they may be guided by my rules and keep my orders and do them: and they will be to me a people, and I will be to them a God.

bbe@Ezekiel:11:24 @And the wind, lifting me up, took me in the visions of God into Chaldaea, to those who had been taken away as prisoners. So the vision which I had seen went away from me.

bbe@Ezekiel:11:25 @Then I gave an account to those who had been taken prisoners of all the things which the Lord had made me see.

bbe@Ezekiel:12:2 @Son of man, you are living among an uncontrolled people, who have eyes to see but see not, and ears for hearing but they do not give ear; for they are an uncontrolled people.

bbe@Ezekiel:12:3 @And you, O son of man, by day, before their eyes, get ready the vessels of one who is taken away, and go away from your place to another place before their eyes: it may be that they will see, though they are an uncontrolled people.

bbe@Ezekiel:12:4 @By day, before their eyes, take out your vessels like those of one who is taken away: and go out in the evening before their eyes, like those who are taken away as prisoners.

bbe@Ezekiel:12:9 @Son of man, has not Israel, the uncontrolled people, said to you, What are you doing?

bbe@Ezekiel:12:11 @Say, I am your sign: as I have done, so will it be done to them: they will go away as prisoners.

bbe@Ezekiel:12:12 @And the ruler who is among them will take his goods on his back in the dark and go out: he will make a hole in the wall through which to go out: he will have his face covered so that he may not be seen.

bbe@Ezekiel:12:16 @But a small number of them I will keep from the sword, from the need of food, and from disease, so that they may make clear all their disgusting ways among the nations where they come; and they will be certain that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:12:18 @Son of man, take your food with shaking fear, and your water with trouble and care;

bbe@Ezekiel:12:19 @And say to the people of the land, This is what the Lord has said about the people of Jerusalem and the land of Israel: They will take their food with care and their drink with wonder, so that all the wealth of their land may be taken from it because of the violent ways of the people living in it.

bbe@Ezekiel:12:22 @Son of man, what is this saying which you have about the land of Israel, The time is long and every vision comes to nothing?

bbe@Ezekiel:12:27 @Son of man, see, the children of Israel say, The vision which he sees is for the days which are a long way off, and his words are of times still far away.

bbe@Ezekiel:13:2 @Son of man, be a prophet against the prophets of Israel, and say to those prophets whose words are the invention of their hearts, Give ear to the word of the Lord;

bbe@Ezekiel:13:8 @So this is what the Lord has said: Because your words are without substance and your visions are false, see, I am against you, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:13:13 @For this reason, the Lord has said: I will have it broken in two by a storm-wind in my passion; and there will be an overflowing shower in my wrath, and you, O ice-drops, will come raining angrily down.

bbe@Ezekiel:13:14 @So I will let the wall, which you were covering with whitewash, be broken down; I will have it levelled to the earth so that its base is uncovered: it will come down, and destruction will come on you with it; and it will be clear to you that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:13:15 @So I will let loose my passion on the wall in full measure, and on those who put whitewash on it; and I will say to you, Where is the wall, and where are those who put whitewash on it?

bbe@Ezekiel:13:17 @And you, son of man, let your face be turned against the daughters of your people, who are acting the part of prophets at their pleasure; be a prophet against them, and say,

bbe@Ezekiel:13:18 @This is what the Lord has said: A curse is on the women who are stitching bands on all arms and putting veils on the heads of those of every size, so that they may go after souls! Will you go after the souls of my people and keep yourselves safe from death?

bbe@Ezekiel:13:19 @And you have put me to shame among my people for a little barley and some bits of bread, sending death on souls for whom there is no cause of death, and keeping those souls living who have no right to life, by the false words you say to my people who give ear to what is false.

bbe@Ezekiel:13:20 @For this cause the Lord has said: See, I am against your bands with which you go after souls, and I will violently take them off their arms; and I will let loose the souls, even the souls whom you go after freely.

bbe@Ezekiel:13:22 @Because with your false words you have given pain to the heart of the upright man when I had not made him sad; in order to make strong the hands of the evil-doer so that he may not be turned from his evil way and get life:

bbe@Ezekiel:14:3 @Son of man, these men have taken their false gods into their hearts and put before their faces the sin which is the cause of their fall: am I to give ear when they come to me for directions?

bbe@Ezekiel:14:5 @So as to take the children of Israel in the thoughts of their hearts, because they have become strange to me through their false gods.

bbe@Ezekiel:14:11 @So that the children of Israel may no longer go wandering away from me, or make themselves unclean with all their wrongdoing; but they will be my people, and I will be their God, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:14:13 @Son of man, when a land, sinning against me, does wrong, and my hand is stretched out against it, and the support of its bread is broken, and I make it short of food, cutting off man and beast from it:

bbe@Ezekiel:14:15 @Or if I send evil beasts through the land causing destruction and making it waste, so that no man may go through because of the beasts:

bbe@Ezekiel:14:16 @Even if these three men were in it, by my life, says the Lord, they would not keep safe their sons or daughters, but only themselves, and the land would be made waste.

bbe@Ezekiel:14:18 @Even if these three men were in it, by my life, says the Lord, they would not keep safe their sons or daughters, but only themselves.

bbe@Ezekiel:14:20 @Even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, by my life, says the Lord, they would not keep son or daughter safe; only themselves would they keep safe through their righteousness.

bbe@Ezekiel:14:22 @But truly, there will still be a small band who will be safe, even sons and daughters: and they will come out to you, and you will see their ways and their doings: and you will be comforted about the evil which I have sent on Jerusalem, even about everything I have sent on it.

bbe@Ezekiel:15:2 @Son of man, what is the vine-tree more than any branching tree which is among the trees of the woods?

bbe@Ezekiel:15:6 @For this cause the Lord has said: Like the vine-tree among the trees of the woods which I have given to the fire for burning, so will I give the people of Jerusalem.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:2 @Son of man, make clear to Jerusalem her disgusting ways,

bbe@Ezekiel:16:13 @So you were made beautiful with gold and silver; and your clothing was of the best linen and silk and needlework; your food was the best meal and honey and oil: and you were very beautiful.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:14 @You were so beautiful that the story of you went out into all nations; you were completely beautiful because of my glory which I had put on you, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:20 @And you took your sons and your daughters whom I had by you, offering even these to them to be their food. Was your loose behaviour so small a thing,

bbe@Ezekiel:16:33 @They give payment to all loose women: but you give rewards to your lovers, offering them payment so that they may come to you on every side for your cheap love.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:37 @For this cause I will get together all your lovers with whom you have taken your pleasure, and all those to whom you have given your love, with all those who were hated by you; I will even make them come together against you on every side, and I will have you uncovered before them so that they may see your shame.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:43 @Because you have not kept in mind the days when you were young, but have been troubling me with all these things; for this reason I will make the punishment of your ways come on your head, says the Lord, because you have done this evil thing in addition to all your disgusting acts.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:44 @See, in every common saying about you it will be said, As the mother is, so is her daughter.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:45 @You are the daughter of your mother whose soul is turned in disgust from her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters who were turned in disgust from their husbands and their children: your mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:46 @Your older sister is Samaria, living at your left hand, she and her daughters: and your younger sister, living at your right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:48 @By my life, says the Lord, Sodom your sister never did, she or her daughters, what you and your daughters have done.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:49 @Truly, this was the sin of your sister Sodom: pride, a full measure of food, and the comforts of wealth in peace, were seen in her and her daughters, and she gave no help to the poor or to those in need.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:50 @They were full of pride and did what was disgusting to me: and so I took them away as you have seen.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:53 @And I will let their fate be changed, the fate of Sodom and her daughters, and the fate of Samaria and her daughters, and your fate with theirs.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:54 @So that you will be shamed and made low because of all you have done, when I have mercy on you.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:55 @And your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, will go back to their first condition, and Samaria and her daughters will go back to their first condition, and you and your daughters will go back to your first condition.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:56 @Was not your sister Sodom an oath in your mouth in the day of your pride,

bbe@Ezekiel:16:63 @So that, at the memory of these things, you may be at a loss, never opening your mouth because of your shame; when you have my forgiveness for all you have done, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:17:2 @Son of man, give out a dark saying, and make a comparison for the children of Israel,

bbe@Ezekiel:17:5 @And he took some of the seed of the land, planting it in fertile earth, placing it by great waters; he put it in like a willow-tree.

bbe@Ezekiel:17:6 @And its growth went on and it became a vine, low and widely stretching, whose branches were turned to him and its roots were under him: so it became a vine, putting out branches and young leaves.

bbe@Ezekiel:17:7 @And there was another eagle with great wings and thick feathers: and now this vine, pushing out its roots to him, sent out its branches in his direction from the bed where it was planted, so that he might give it water.

bbe@Ezekiel:17:8 @He had it planted in a good field by great waters so that it might put out branches and have fruit and be a strong vine.

bbe@Ezekiel:17:9 @Say, This is what the Lord has said: Will it do well? will he not have its roots pulled up and its branches cut off, so that all its young leaves may become dry and it may be pulled up by its roots?

bbe@Ezekiel:17:13 @And he took one of the sons of the king and made an agreement with him; and he put him under an oath, and took away the great men of the land:

bbe@Ezekiel:17:14 @So that the kingdom might be made low with no power of lifting itself up, but might keep his agreement to be his servants.

bbe@Ezekiel:17:19 @And so the Lord has said, By my life, truly, for my oath which he put on one side, and my agreement which has been broken, I will send punishment on his head.

bbe@Ezekiel:17:22 @This is what the Lord has said: Further, I will take the highest top of the cedar and put it in the earth; cutting off from the highest of his young branches a soft one, I will have it planted on a high and great mountain;

bbe@Ezekiel:17:23 @It will be planted on the high mountain of Israel: it will put out branches and have fruit and be a fair cedar: under it all birds of every sort will make their living-place, resting in the shade of its branches

bbe@Ezekiel:18:4 @See, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so the soul of the son is mine: death will be the fate of the sinner's soul.

bbe@Ezekiel:18:10 @If he has a son who is a thief, a taker of life, who does any of these things,

bbe@Ezekiel:18:14 @Now if he has a son who sees all his father's sins which he has done, and in fear does not do the same:

bbe@Ezekiel:18:19 @But you say, Why does not the son undergo punishment for the evil-doing of the father? When the son has done what is ordered and right, and has kept my rules and done them, life will certainly be his.

bbe@Ezekiel:18:20 @The soul which does sin will be put to death: the son will not be made responsible for the evil-doing of the father, or the father for the evil-doing of the son; the righteousness of the upright will be on himself, and the evil-doing of the evil-doer on himself.

bbe@Ezekiel:18:23 @Have I any pleasure in the death of the evil-doer? says the Lord: am I not pleased if he is turned from his way so that he may have life?

bbe@Ezekiel:18:27 @Again, when the evil-doer, turning away from the evil he has done, does what is ordered and right, he will have life for his soul.

bbe@Ezekiel:18:30 @For this cause I will be your judge, O children of Israel, judging every man by his ways, says the Lord. Come back and be turned from all your sins; so that they may not be the cause of your falling into evil.

bbe@Ezekiel:19:1 @Take up now a song of grief for the ruler of Israel, and say,

bbe@Ezekiel:19:7 @And he sent destruction on their widows and made waste their towns; and the land and everything in it became waste because of the loud sound of his voice.

bbe@Ezekiel:19:9 @They made him a prisoner with hooks, and took him to the king of Babylon; they put him in the strong place so that his voice might be sounding no longer on the mountains of Israel.

bbe@Ezekiel:19:10 @Your mother was in comparison like a vine, planted by the waters: she was fertile and full of branches because of the great waters

bbe@Ezekiel:19:14 @And fire has gone out from her rod, causing the destruction of her branches, so that there is no strong rod in her to be the ruler's rod of authority. This is a song of grief, and it was for a song of grief.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:3 @Son of man, say to the responsible men of Israel, This is what the Lord has said: Have you come to get directions from me? By my life, says the Lord, you will get no directions from me.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:4 @Will you be their judge, O son of man, will you be their judge? make clear to them the disgusting ways of their fathers,

bbe@Ezekiel:20:9 @And I was acting for the honour of my name, so that it might not be made unclean before the eyes of the nations among whom they were, and before whose eyes I gave them knowledge of myself, by taking them out of the land of Egypt.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:10 @So I made them go out of the land of Egypt and took them into the waste land.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:12 @And further, I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, so that it might be clear that I, who make them holy, am the Lord

bbe@Ezekiel:20:14 @And I was acting for the honour of my name, so that it might not be made unclean in the eyes of the nations, before whose eyes I had taken them out.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:20 @And keep my Sabbaths holy; and they will be a sign between me and you so that it may be clear to you that I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:22 @And I was acting for the honour of my name, so that it might not be made unclean in the eyes of the nations, before whose eyes I had taken them out.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:26 @I made them unclean in the offerings they gave, causing them to make every first child go through the fire, so that I might put an end to them.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:27 @For this cause, son of man, say to the children of Israel, This is what the Lord has said: In this your fathers have further put shame on my name by doing wrong against me.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:31 @And when you give your offerings, causing your sons to go through the fire, you make yourselves unclean with all your images to this day; and will you come to me for directions, O children of Israel? By my life, says the Lord, you will get no direction from me.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:36 @As I took up the cause with your fathers in the waste land of the land of Egypt, so will I take up the cause with you says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:46 @Son of man, let your face be turned to the south, let your words be dropped to the south, and be a prophet against the woodland of the South;

bbe@Ezekiel:20:47 @And say to the woodland of the South, Give ear to the words of the Lord: this is what the Lord has said: See, I will have a fire lighted in you, for the destruction of every green tree in you and every dry tree: the flaming flame will not be put out, and all faces from the south to the north will be burned by it.

bbe@Ezekiel:21:2 @Son of man, let your face be turned to Jerusalem, let your words be dropped in the direction of her holy place, and be a prophet against the land of Israel;

bbe@Ezekiel:21:4 @Because I am going to have the upright and the evil cut off from you, for this cause my sword will go out from its cover against all flesh from the south to the north:

bbe@Ezekiel:21:6 @Make sounds of grief, son of man; with body bent and a bitter heart make sounds of grief before their eyes.

bbe@Ezekiel:21:7 @And when they say to you, Why are you making sounds of grief? then say, Because of the news, for it is coming: and every heart will become soft, and all hands will be feeble, and every spirit will be burning low, and all knees will be turned to water: see, it is coming and it will be done, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:21:9 @Son of man, say as a prophet, These are the words of the Lord: Say, A sword, a sword which has been made sharp and polished:

bbe@Ezekiel:21:10 @It has been made sharp to give death; it is polished so that it may be like a thunder-flame:...

bbe@Ezekiel:21:11 @And I have given it to the polisher so that it may be taken in the hand: he has made the sword sharp, he has had it polished, to put it into the hand of him who gives death.

bbe@Ezekiel:21:12 @Give loud cries and make sounds of grief, O son of man: for it has come on my people, it has come on all the rulers of Israel: fear of the sword has come on my people: for this cause give signs of grief.

bbe@Ezekiel:21:14 @So then, son of man, be a prophet, and put your hands together with a loud sound, and give two blows with the sword, and even three; it is the sword of those who are wounded, even the sword of the wounded; the great sword which goes round about them

bbe@Ezekiel:21:15 @In order that hearts may become soft, and the number of those who are falling may be increased, I have sent death by the sword against all their doors: you are made like a flame, you are polished for death.

bbe@Ezekiel:21:17 @And I will put my hands together with a loud sound, and I will let my wrath have rest: I the Lord have said it.

bbe@Ezekiel:21:19 @And you, son of man, have two ways marked out, so that the sword of the king of Babylon may come; let the two of them come out of one land: and let there be a pillar at the top of the road:

bbe@Ezekiel:21:23 @And this answer given by secret arts will seem false to those who have given their oaths and have let them be broken: but he will keep the memory of evil-doing so that they may be taken.

bbe@Ezekiel:21:28 @And you, son of man, say as a prophet, This is what the Lord has said about the children of Ammon and about their shame: Say, A sword, even a sword let loose, polished for death, to make it shining so that it may be like a flame:

bbe@Ezekiel:22:2 @And you, son of man, will you be a judge, will you be a judge of the town of blood? then make clear to her all her disgusting ways.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:3 @And you are to say, This is what the Lord has said: A town causing blood to be drained out in her streets so that her time may come, and making images in her to make her unclean!

bbe@Ezekiel:22:5 @Those who are near and those who are far from you will make sport of you; your name is unclean, you are full of sounds of fear.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:18 @Son of man, the children of Israel have become like the poorest sort of waste metal to me: they are all silver and brass and tin and iron and lead mixed with waste.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:20 @As they put silver and brass and iron and lead and tin together inside the oven, heating up the fire on it to make it soft; so will I get you together in my wrath and in my passion, and, heating the fire with my breath, will make you soft.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:21 @Yes, I will take you, breathing on you the fire of my wrath, and you will become soft in it.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:22 @As silver becomes soft in the oven, so you will become soft in it; and you will be certain that I the Lord have let loose my passion on you.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:24 @Son of man, say to her, You are a land on which no rain or thunderstorm has come in the day of wrath.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:25 @Her rulers in her are like a loud-voiced lion violently taking his food; they have made a meal of souls; they have taken wealth and valued property; they have made great the number of widows in her.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:27 @Her rulers in her are like wolves violently taking their food; putting men to death and causing the destruction of souls, so that they may get their profit.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:30 @And I was looking for a man among them who would make up the wall and take his station in the broken place before me for the land, so that I might not send destruction on it: but there was no one.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:2 @Son of man, there were two women, daughters of one mother:

bbe@Ezekiel:23:4 @Their names were Oholah, the older, and Oholibah, her sister: and they became mine, and gave birth to sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem, Oholibah.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:10 @By these her shame was uncovered: they took her sons and daughters and put her to death with the sword: and she became a cause of wonder to women; for they gave her the punishment which was right.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:17 @And the Babylonians came to her, into the bed of love, and made her unclean with their loose desire, and she became unclean with them, and her soul was turned from them.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:18 @So her loose behaviour was clearly seen and her shame uncovered: then my soul was turned from her as it had been turned from her sister

bbe@Ezekiel:23:22 @For this cause, O Oholibah, this is what the Lord has said: See, I will make your lovers come up against you, even those from whom your soul is turned away in disgust; and I will make them come up against you on every side;

bbe@Ezekiel:23:25 @And my bitter feeling will be working against you, and they will take you in hand with passion; they will take away your nose and your ears, and the rest of you will be put to the sword: they will take your sons and daughters, and the rest of you will be burned up in the fire.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:27 @So I will put an end to your evil ways and your loose behaviour which came from the land of Egypt: and your eyes will never be lifted up to them again, and you will have no more memory of Egypt.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:28 @For this is what the Lord has said: See, I will give you up into the hands of those who are hated by you, into the hands of those from whom your soul is turned away in disgust:

bbe@Ezekiel:23:33 @You will be broken and full of sorrow, with the cup of wonder and destruction, with the cup of your sister Samaria.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:35 @So this is what the Lord has said: Because you have not kept me in your memory, and because your back has been turned to me, you will even undergo the punishment of your evil designs and your loose ways.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:36 @Then the Lord said to me: Son of man, will you be the judge of Oholibah? then make clear to her the disgusting things she has done.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:37 @For she has been false to me, and blood is on her hands, and with her images she has been untrue; and more than this, she made her sons, whom she had by me, go through the fire to them to be burned up.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:44 @And they went in to her, as men go to a loose woman: so they went in to Oholibah, the loose woman.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:47 @And the meeting, after stoning her with stones, will put an end to her with their swords; they will put her sons and daughters to death and have her house burned up with fire.

bbe@Ezekiel:24:2 @Son of man, put down in writing this very day: The king of Babylon let loose the weight of his attack against Jerusalem on this very day.

bbe@Ezekiel:24:3 @And make a comparison for this uncontrolled people, and say to them, This is what the Lord has said: Put on the cooking-pot, put it on the fire and put water in it:

bbe@Ezekiel:24:7 @For her blood is in her; she has put it on the open rock not draining it on to the earth so that it might be covered with dust;

bbe@Ezekiel:24:8 @In order that it might make wrath come up to give punishment, she has put her blood on the open rock, so that it may not be covered.

bbe@Ezekiel:24:10 @Put on much wood, heating up the fire, boiling the flesh well, and making the soup thick, and let the bones be burned.

bbe@Ezekiel:24:11 @And I will put her on the coals so that she may be heated and her brass burned, so that what is unclean in her may become soft and her waste be completely taken away.

bbe@Ezekiel:24:16 @Son of man, see, I am taking away the desire of your eyes by disease: but let there be no sorrow or weeping or drops running from your eyes.

bbe@Ezekiel:24:17 @Let there be no sound of sorrow; make no weeping for your dead, put on your head-dress and your shoes on your feet, let not your lips be covered, and do not take the food of those in grief.

bbe@Ezekiel:24:18 @So in the morning I was teaching the people and in the evening death took my wife; and in the morning I did what I had been ordered to do.

bbe@Ezekiel:24:21 @Say to the people of Israel, The Lord has said, See, I will make my holy place unclean, the pride of your strength, the pleasure of your eyes, and the desire of your soul; and your sons and daughters, who did not come with you here, will be put to the sword.

bbe@Ezekiel:24:23 @And your head-dresses will be on your heads and your shoes on your feet: there will be no sorrow or weeping; but you will be wasting away in the punishment of your evil-doing, and you will be looking at one another in wonder.

bbe@Ezekiel:24:25 @And as for you, son of man, your mouth will be shut in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that on which their hearts are fixed, and their sons and daughters.

bbe@Ezekiel:24:27 @In that day your mouth will be open to him who has got away safe, and you will say words to him and your lips will no longer be shut: so you will be a sign to them and they will be certain that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:25:2 @Son of man, let your face be turned to the children of Ammon, and be a prophet against them:

bbe@Ezekiel:25:3 @And say to the children of Ammon, Give ear to the word of the Lord; this is what the Lord has said: Because you said, Aha! against my holy place when it was made unclean, and against the land of Israel when it was made waste, and against the people of Judah when they were taken away as prisoners;

bbe@Ezekiel:25:6 @For the Lord has said, Because you have made sounds of joy with your hands, stamping your feet, and have been glad, putting shame with all your soul on the land of Israel;

bbe@Ezekiel:25:10 @To the children of the east I have given her for a heritage, as well as the children of Ammon, so that there may be no memory of her among the nations:

bbe@Ezekiel:26:2 @Son of man, because Tyre has said against Jerusalem, Aha, she who was the doorway of the peoples is broken; she is turned over to them; she who was full is made waste;

bbe@Ezekiel:26:13 @I will put an end to the noise of your songs, and the sound of your instruments of music will be gone for ever.

bbe@Ezekiel:26:15 @This is what the Lord has said to Tyre: Will not the sea-lands be shaking at the sound of your fall, when the wounded give cries of pain, when men are put to the sword in you?

bbe@Ezekiel:26:17 @And they will send up a song of grief for you, and say to you, What destruction has come on you, how are you cut off from the sea, the noted town, which was strong in the sea, she and her people, causing the fear of them to come on all the dry land!

bbe@Ezekiel:26:20 @Then I will make you go down with those who go down into the underworld, to the people of the past, causing your living-place to be in the deepest parts of the earth, in places long unpeopled, with those who go down into the deep, so that there will be no one living in you; and you will have no glory in the land of the living.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:2 @And you, son of man, make a song of grief for Tyre;

bbe@Ezekiel:27:22 @The traders of Sheba and Raamah did trade with you; they gave the best of all sorts of spices and all sorts of stones of great price and gold for your goods.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:28 @At the sound of the cry of your ships' guides, the boards of the ship will be shaking.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:30 @And their voices will be sounding over you, and crying bitterly they will put dust on their heads, rolling themselves in the dust:

bbe@Ezekiel:27:31 @And they will have the hair of their heads cut off because of you, and will put haircloth on their bodies, weeping for you with bitter grief in their souls, even with bitter sorrow.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:32 @And in their weeping they will make a song of grief for you, sorrowing over you and saying, Who is like Tyre, who has come to an end in the deep sea?

bbe@Ezekiel:27:36 @Those who do business among the peoples make sounds of surprise at you; you have become a thing of fear, you have come to an end for ever.

bbe@Ezekiel:28:2 @Son of man, say to the ruler of Tyre, This is what the Lord has said: Because your heart has been lifted up, and you have said, I am a god, I am seated on the seat of God in the heart of the seas; but you are man and not God, though you have made your heart as the heart of God:

bbe@Ezekiel:28:12 @Son of man, make a song of grief for the king of Tyre, and say to him, This is what the Lord has said: You are all-wise and completely beautiful;

bbe@Ezekiel:28:16 @Through all your trading you have become full of violent ways, and have done evil: so I sent you out shamed from the mountain of God; the winged one put an end to you from among the stones of fire.

bbe@Ezekiel:28:17 @Your heart was lifted up because you were beautiful, you made your wisdom evil through your sin: I have sent you down, even to the earth; I have made you low before kings, so that they may see you.

bbe@Ezekiel:28:18 @By all your sin, even by your evil trading, you have made your holy places unclean; so I will make a fire come out from you, it will make a meal of you, and I will make you as dust on the earth before the eyes of all who see you.

bbe@Ezekiel:28:21 @Son of man, let your face be turned to Zidon, and be a prophet against it, and say,

bbe@Ezekiel:29:2 @Son of man, let your face be turned against Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and be a prophet against him and against all Egypt:

bbe@Ezekiel:29:7 @When they took a grip of you in their hands, you were crushed so that their arms were broken: and when they put their weight on you for support, you were broken and all their muscles gave way.

bbe@Ezekiel:29:15 @It will be the lowest of the kingdoms, and never again will it be lifted up over the nations: I will make them small, so that they may not have rule over the nations.

bbe@Ezekiel:29:18 @Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, made his army do hard work against Tyre, and the hair came off every head and every arm was rubbed smooth: but he and his army got no payment out of Tyre for the hard work which he had done against it.

bbe@Ezekiel:30:2 @Son of man, be a prophet, and say, These are the words of the Lord: Give a cry, Aha, for the day!

bbe@Ezekiel:30:17 @The young men of On and Pi-beseth will be put to the sword: and these towns will be taken away prisoners.

bbe@Ezekiel:30:18 @And at Tehaphnehes the day will become dark, when the yoke of Egypt is broken there, and the pride of her power comes to an end: as for her, she will be covered with a cloud, and her daughters will be taken away prisoners.

bbe@Ezekiel:30:21 @Son of man, the arm of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, has been broken by me, and no band has been put round it to make it well, no band has been twisted round it to make it strong for gripping the sword.

bbe@Ezekiel:31:2 @Son of man, say to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and to his people; Whom are you like in your great power?

bbe@Ezekiel:31:7 @So it was beautiful, being so tall and its branches so long, for its root was by great waters.

bbe@Ezekiel:31:8 @No cedars were equal to it in the garden of God; the fir-trees were not like its branches, and plane-trees were as nothing in comparison with its arms; no tree in the garden of God was so beautiful.

bbe@Ezekiel:31:9 @I made it beautiful with its mass of branches: so that all the trees in the garden of God were full of envy of it.

bbe@Ezekiel:31:10 @For this cause the Lord has said: Because he is tall, and has put his top among the clouds, and his heart is full of pride because he is so high,

bbe@Ezekiel:31:16 @I will send shaking on the nations at the sound of his fall, when I send him down to the underworld with those who go down into the deep: and on earth they will be comforting themselves, all the trees of Eden, the best of Lebanon, even all the watered ones.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:2 @Son of man, make a song of grief for Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and say to him, Young lion of the nations, destruction has come on you; and you were like a sea-beast in the seas, sending out bursts of water, troubling the waters with your feet, making their streams dirty.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:9 @And the hearts of numbers of peoples will be troubled, when I send your prisoners among the nations, into a country which is strange to you.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:16 @It is a song of grief, and people will give voice to it, the daughters of the nations will give voice to it, even for Egypt and all her people, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:18 @Son of man, let your voice be loud in sorrow for the people of Egypt and send them down, even you and the daughters of the nations; I will send them down into the lowest parts of the earth, with those who go down into the underworld.

bbe@Ezekiel:33:2 @Son of man, give a word to the children of your people, and say to them, When I make the sword come on a land, if the people of the land take a man from among their number and make him their watchman:

bbe@Ezekiel:33:3 @If, when he sees the sword coming on the land, by sounding the horn he gives the people news of their danger;

bbe@Ezekiel:33:4 @Then anyone who, hearing the sound of the horn, does not take note of it, will himself be responsible for his death, if the sword comes and takes him away.

bbe@Ezekiel:33:5 @On hearing the sound of the horn, he did not take note; his blood will be on him; for if he had taken note his life would have been safe.

bbe@Ezekiel:33:6 @But if the watchman sees the sword coming, and does not give a note on the horn, and the people have no word of the danger, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them; he will be taken away in his sin, but I will make the watchman responsible for his blood.

bbe@Ezekiel:33:7 @So you, son of man, I have made you a watchman for the children of Israel; and you are to give ear to the word of my mouth and give them news from me of their danger.

bbe@Ezekiel:33:10 @And you, son of man, say to the children of Israel, You say, Our wrongdoing and our sins are on us and we are wasting away in them; how then may we have life?

bbe@Ezekiel:33:12 @And you, son of man, say to the children of your people, The righteousness of the upright man will not make him safe in the day when he does wrong; and the evil-doing of the evil man will not be the cause of his fall in the day when he is turned from his evil-doing; and the upright man will not have life because of his righteousness in the day when he does evil.

bbe@Ezekiel:33:21 @Now in the twelfth year after we had been taken away prisoners, in the tenth month, on the fifth day of the month, one who had got away in flight from Jerusalem came to me, saying, The town has been taken.

bbe@Ezekiel:33:24 @Son of man, those who are living in these waste places in the land of Israel say, Abraham was but one, and he had land for his heritage: but we are a great number; the land is given to us for our heritage.

bbe@Ezekiel:33:28 @And I will make the land a waste and a cause of wonder, and the pride of her strength will come to an end; and the mountains of Israel will be made waste so that no one will go through.

bbe@Ezekiel:33:30 @And as for you, son of man, the children of your people are talking together about you by the walls and in the doorways of the houses, saying to one another, Come now, give ear to the word which comes from the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:33:32 @And truly you are to them like a love song by one who has a very pleasing voice and is an expert player on an instrument: for they give ear to your words but do them not.

bbe@Ezekiel:34:2 @Son of man, be a prophet against the keepers of the flock of Israel, and say to them, O keepers of the sheep! this is the word of the Lord: A curse is on the keepers of the flock of Israel who take the food for themselves! is it not right for the keepers to give the food to the sheep?

bbe@Ezekiel:34:9 @For this reason, O you keepers of the flock, give ear to the word of the Lord;

bbe@Ezekiel:34:10 @This is what the Lord has said: See I am against the keepers of the flock, and I will make search and see what they have done with my sheep, and will let them be keepers of my sheep no longer; and the keepers will no longer get food for themselves; I will take my sheep out of their mouths so that they may not be food for them.

bbe@Ezekiel:34:12 @As the keeper goes looking for his flock when he is among his wandering sheep, so I will go looking for my sheep, and will get them safely out of all the places where they have been sent wandering in the day of clouds and black night.

bbe@Ezekiel:34:20 @For this reason the Lord has said to them, Truly, I, even I, will be judge between the fat sheep and the thin sheep.

bbe@Ezekiel:35:2 @Son of man, let your face be turned to Mount Seir, and be a prophet against it,

bbe@Ezekiel:35:14 @This is what the Lord has said: Because you were glad over my land when it was a waste, so will I do to you:

bbe@Ezekiel:36:1 @And you, son of man, be a prophet about the mountains of Israel, and say, You mountains of Israel, give ear to the word of the Lord:

bbe@Ezekiel:36:4 @For this reason, you mountains of Israel, give ear to the word of the Lord; this is what the Lord has said to the mountains and to the hills, to the streams and to the valleys, to the unpeopled wastes and to the towns where no one is living, from which the goods have been taken and which have been put to shame by the rest of the nations who are round about:

bbe@Ezekiel:36:5 @For this cause the Lord has said: Truly, in the heat of my bitter feeling I have said things against the rest of the nations and against all Edom, who have taken my land as a heritage for themselves with the joy of all their heart, and with bitter envy of soul have made attacks on it:

bbe@Ezekiel:36:14 @For this reason you will no longer take the lives of men and will never again be the cause of loss of children to your nation, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:17 @Son of man, when the children of Israel were living in their land, they made it unclean by their way and their acts: their way before me was as when a woman is unclean at the time when she is kept separate.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:18 @So I let loose my wrath on them because of those whom they had violently put to death in the land, and because they had made it unclean with their images:

bbe@Ezekiel:36:25 @And I will put clean water on you so that you may be clean: from all your unclean ways and from all your images I will make you clean.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:28 @So that you may go on living in the land which I gave to your fathers; and you will be to me a people, and I will be to you a God.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:38 @Like sheep for the offerings, like the sheep of Jerusalem at her fixed feasts, so the unpeopled towns will be made full of men: and they will be certain that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:37:3 @And he said to me, Son of man, is it possible for these bones to come to life? And I made answer, and said, It is for you to say, O Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:37:5 @This is what the Lord has said to these bones: See, I will make breath come into you so that you may come to life;

bbe@Ezekiel:37:6 @And I will put muscles on you and make flesh come on you, and put skin over you, and breath into you, so that you may have life; and you will be certain that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:37:7 @So I gave the word as I was ordered: and at my words there was a shaking of the earth, and the bones came together, bone to bone.

bbe@Ezekiel:37:9 @And he said to me, Be a prophet to the wind, be a prophet, son of man, and say to the wind, The Lord has said: Come from the four winds, O wind, breathing on these dead so that they may come to life.

bbe@Ezekiel:37:11 @Then he said to me, Son of man, these bones are all the children of Israel: and see, they are saying, Our bones have become dry our hope is gone, we are cut off completely.

bbe@Ezekiel:37:14 @And I will put my spirit in you, so that you may come to life, and I will give you a rest in your land: and you will be certain that I the Lord have said it and have done it, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:37:16 @And you, son of man, take one stick, writing on it, For Judah and for the children of Israel who are in his company: then take another stick, writing on it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and all the children of Israel who are in his company:

bbe@Ezekiel:37:17 @Then, joining them one to another, make them one stick, so that they may be one in your hand.

bbe@Ezekiel:38:2 @Son of man, let your face be turned against Gog, of the land of Magog, the ruler of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and be a prophet against him,

bbe@Ezekiel:38:14 @For this cause, son of man, be a prophet and say to Gog, These are the words of the Lord: In that day, when my people Israel are living without fear of danger, will you not be moved against them?

bbe@Ezekiel:38:16 @And you will come up against my people Israel, like a cloud covering the land; and it will come about, in the last days, that I will make you come against my land, so that the nations may have knowledge of me when I make myself holy in you, O Gog, before their eyes.

bbe@Ezekiel:38:20 @So that the fish of the sea and the birds of heaven and the beasts of the field and everything moving on the earth, and all the men who are on the face of the earth, will be shaking before me, and the mountains will be overturned and the high places will come down, and every wall will come falling down to the earth.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:1 @And you, son of man, be a prophet against Gog, and say, These are the words of the Lord: See, I am against you, O Gog, ruler of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal:

bbe@Ezekiel:39:4 @On the mountains of Israel you will come down, you and all your forces and the peoples who are with you: I will give you to cruel birds of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be their food.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:12 @And the children of Israel will be seven months putting them in the earth, so as to make the land clean.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:16 @And there they will put all the army of Gog in the earth. So they will make the land clean.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:17 @And you, son of man, this is what the Lord has said: Say to the birds of every sort and to all the beasts of the field, Get together and come; come together on every side to the offering which I am putting to death for you, a great offering on the mountains of Israel, so that you may have flesh for your food and blood for your drink.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:22 @So the children of Israel will be certain that I am the Lord their God, from that day and for the future.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:23 @And it will be clear to the nations that the children of Israel were taken away prisoners for their evil-doing; because they did wrong against me, and my face was covered from them: so I gave them up into the hands of their attackers, and they all came to their end by the sword.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:24 @In the measure of their unclean ways and their sins, so I did to them; and I kept my face covered from them.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:28 @And they will be certain that I am the Lord their God, because I sent them away as prisoners among the nations, and have taken them together back to their land; and I have not let one of them be there any longer.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:1 @In the twenty-fifth year after we had been taken away prisoners, in the first month of the year, on the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the town was taken, on the very same day, the hand of the Lord was on me, and he took me there.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:4 @And the man said to me, Son of man, see with your eyes and give hearing with your ears, and take to heart everything I am going to let you see; for in order that I might let you see them, you have come here: and give an account of all you see to the children of Israel.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:5 @And there was a wall on the outside of the house all round, and in the man's hand there was a measuring rod six cubits long by a cubit and a hand's measure: so he took the measure of the building from side to side, one rod; and from base to top, one rod.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:24 @And he took me to the south, and I saw a doorway looking to the south: and he took the measure of its rooms and its uprights and its covered ways by these measures.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:27 @And there was a doorway to the inner square looking to the south: he took the measure from doorway to doorway to the south, a hundred cubits.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:28 @Then he took me to the inner square by the south doorway: and he took the measure of the south doorway by these measures;

bbe@Ezekiel:40:44 @And he took me into the inner square, and there were two rooms in the inner square, one at the side of the north doorway, facing south; and one at the side of the south doorway, facing north.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:45 @And he said to me, This room, facing south, is for the priests who have the care of the house.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:46 @And the room facing north is for the priests who have the care of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok, who, from among the sons of Levi, come near to the Lord to do the work of his house.

bbe@Ezekiel:41:11 @And the free space had doors opening from the side-rooms, one door on the north and one door on the south: and the free space was five cubits wide all round.

bbe@Ezekiel:41:19 @So that there was the face of a man turned to the palm-tree on one side, and the face of a young lion on the other side: so it was made all round the house.

bbe@Ezekiel:42:6 @For they were on three floors, and they had no pillars like the pillars of the outer square; so the highest was narrower than the lowest and middle floors from the earth level.

bbe@Ezekiel:42:10 @(And he took me) to the south, and in front of the separate place and in front of the building there were rooms.

bbe@Ezekiel:42:11 @And there was a walk in front of them like that by the rooms on the north; they were equally long and wide; and the ways out of them were the same in design and had the same sort of doors.

bbe@Ezekiel:42:12 @And under the rooms on the south was a door at the head of the outer wall in the direction of the east as one goes in.

bbe@Ezekiel:42:13 @And he said to me, The north rooms and the south rooms in front of the separate place are the holy rooms, where the priests who come near the Lord take the most holy things for their food: there the most holy things are placed, with the meal offering and the sin-offering and the offering for error; for the place is holy.

bbe@Ezekiel:42:18 @And he went round and took the measure of it on the south side with the measuring rod, five hundred, measured with the rod all round.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:2 @And there was the glory of the God of Israel coming from the way of the east: and his voice was like the sound of great waters, and the earth was shining with his glory.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:7 @And he said to me, Son of man, this is the place where the seat of my power is and the resting-place of my feet, where I will be among the children of Israel for ever: and no longer will the people of Israel make my holy name unclean, they or their kings, by their loose ways and by the dead bodies of their kings;

bbe@Ezekiel:43:8 @By putting their doorstep by my doorstep, and the pillar of their door by the pillar of my door, with only a wall between me and them; and they have made my holy name unclean by the disgusting things which they have done: so in my wrath I sent destruction on them.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:10 @You, son of man, give the children of Israel an account of this house, so that they may be shamed because of their evil-doing: and let them see the vision of it and its image.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:11 @And they will be shamed by what they have done; so give them the knowledge of the form of the house and its structure, and the ways out of it and into it, and all its laws and its rules, writing it down for them: so that they may keep all its laws and do them.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:18 @And he said to me, Son of man, the Lord God has said, These are the rules for the altar, when they make it, for the offering of burned offerings on it and the draining out of the blood.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:20 @You are to take some of its blood and put it on the four horns and on the four angles of the shelf and on the edge all round: and you are to make it clean and free from sin.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:26 @For seven days they are to make offerings to take away sin from the altar and to make it clean; so they are to make it holy.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:5 @And the Lord said to me, Son of man, take to heart, and let your eyes see and your ears be open to everything I say to you about all the rules of the house of the Lord and all its laws; and take note of the ways into the house and all the ways out of the holy place.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:15 @But as for the priests, the sons of Zadok, who took care of my holy place when the children of Israel were turned away from me, they are to come near me to do my work, they will take their places before me, offering to me the fat and the blood, says the Lord;

bbe@Ezekiel:44:19 @And when they go out into the outer square to the people, they are to take off the robes in which they do the work of priests, and put them away in the holy rooms, and put on other clothing, so that the people may not be made holy by their robes.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:25 @They are not to come near any dead person so as to become unclean: but for a father or mother or son or daughter or brother or for a sister who has no husband, they may make themselves unclean.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:30 @And the best of all the first-fruits of everything, and every offering which is lifted up of all your offerings, will be for the priests: and you are to give the priest the first of your bread-making, so causing a blessing to come on your house.

bbe@Ezekiel:45:11 @The ephah and the bath are to be of the same measure, so that the bath is equal to a tenth of a homer, and the ephah to a tenth of a homer: the unit of measure is to be a homer.

bbe@Ezekiel:45:19 @And the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin-offering and put it on the uprights at the sides of the doors of the house, and on the four angles of the shelf of the altar, and on the sides of the doorway of the inner square.

bbe@Ezekiel:45:21 @In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, you are to have the Passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread is to be your food.

bbe@Ezekiel:46:9 @But when the people of the land come before the Lord at the fixed feasts, he who comes in by the north doorway to give worship is to go out by the south doorway; and he who comes in by the south doorway is to go out by the north doorway: he is not to come back by the doorway through which he went in, but is to go straight before him.

bbe@Ezekiel:46:16 @This is what the Lord has said: If the ruler gives a property to any of his sons, it is his heritage and will be the property of his sons; it is theirs for their heritage.

bbe@Ezekiel:46:17 @And if he gives a part of his heritage to one of his servants, it will be his till the year of making free, and then it will go back to the ruler; for it is his sons' heritage, and is to be theirs.

bbe@Ezekiel:46:18 @And the ruler is not to take the heritage of any of the people, driving them out of their property; he is to give a heritage to his sons out of the property which is his: so that my people may not be sent away from their property.

bbe@Ezekiel:46:20 @And he said to me, This is the place where the offering for error and the sin-offering are to be cooked in water by the priests, and where the meal offering is to be cooked in the oven; so that they may not be taken out into the outer square to make the people holy.

bbe@Ezekiel:47:1 @And he took me back to the door of the house; and I saw that waters were flowing out from under the doorstep of the house on the east, for the house was facing east: and the waters came down from under, from the right side of the house, on the south side of the altar.

bbe@Ezekiel:47:2 @And he took me out by the north doorway, and made me go round to the outside of the doorway looking to the east; and I saw waters running slowly out on the south side.

bbe@Ezekiel:47:6 @And he said to me, Son of man, have you seen this? Then he took me to the river's edge.

bbe@Ezekiel:47:10 @And fishermen will take up their places by it: from En-gedi as far as En-eglaim will be a place for the stretching out of nets; the fish will be of every sort, like the fish of the Great Sea, a very great number.

bbe@Ezekiel:47:19 @And the south side to the south will be from Tamar as far as the waters of Meribath-kadesh, to the stream of Egypt, to the Great Sea. This is the south side, on the south.

bbe@Ezekiel:47:20 @And the west side will be the Great Sea, from the limit on the south to a point opposite the way into Hamath. This is the west side.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:10 @And for these, that is the priests, the holy offering is to be twenty-five thousand long to the north, ten thousand wide to the west, ten thousand wide to the east and twenty-five thousand long to the south; and the holy place of the Lord will be in the middle of it.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:11 @For the priests who have been made holy, those of the sons of Zadok who kept the orders I gave them, who did not go out of the right way when the children of Israel went from the way, as the Levites did,

bbe@Ezekiel:48:16 @And these will be its measures: the north side, four thousand five hundred, and the south side, four thousand five hundred, and on the east side, four thousand five hundred, and on the west side, four thousand five hundred.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:17 @And the town will have a free space on the north of two hundred and fifty, on the south of two hundred and fifty, on the east of two hundred and fifty, and on the west of two hundred and fifty.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:28 @And on the limit of Gad, on the south side and to the south of it, the limit will be from Tamar to the waters of Meribath-kadesh, to the stream, to the Great Sea.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:33 @And at the south side, four thousand five hundred by measure, and three doors, one for Simeon, one for Issachar, one for Zebulun;

bbe@Daniel:1:2 @And the Lord gave into his hands Jehoiakim, king of Judah, with some of the vessels of the house of God; and he took them away into the land of Shinar to the house of his god; and he put the vessels into the store-house of his god.

bbe@Daniel:1:3 @And the king gave orders to Ashpenaz, the captain of his unsexed servants, to take in some of the children of Israel, certain of the king's family, and those of high birth;

bbe@Daniel:1:5 @And a regular amount of food and wine every day from the king's table was ordered for them by the king; and they were to be cared for for three years so that at the end of that time they might take their places before the king.

bbe@Daniel:1:8 @And Daniel had come to the decision that he would not make himself unclean with the king's food or wine; so he made a request to the captain of the unsexed servants that he might not make himself unclean.

bbe@Daniel:1:14 @So he gave ear to them in this thing and put them to the test for ten days.

bbe@Daniel:1:16 @So the keeper regularly took away their meat and the wine which was to have been their drink, and gave them grain.

bbe@Daniel:1:19 @And the king had talk with them; and among them all there was no one like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah; so they were given places before the king.

bbe@Daniel:2:2 @Then the king gave orders that the wonder-workers, and the users of secret arts, and those who made use of evil powers, and the Chaldaeans, were to be sent for to make clear to the king his dreams. So they came and took their places before the king.

bbe@Daniel:2:6 @But if you make clear the dream and the sense of it, you will have from me offerings and rewards and great honour: so make clear to me the dream and the sense of it.

bbe@Daniel:2:9 @That if you do not make my dream clear to me there is only one fate for you: for you have made ready false and evil words to say before me till the times are changed: so give me an account of the dream, and I will be certain that you are able to make the sense of it clear.

bbe@Daniel:2:13 @So the order went out that the wise men were to be put to death; and they were looking for Daniel and his friends to put them to death.

bbe@Daniel:2:15 @He made answer and said to Arioch, O captain of the king, why is the king's order so cruel? Then Arioch gave Daniel an account of the business.

bbe@Daniel:2:18 @So that they might make a request for the mercy of the God of heaven in the question of this secret; so that Daniel and his friends might not come to destruction with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

bbe@Daniel:2:24 @For this reason Daniel went to Arioch, to whom the king had given orders for the destruction of the wise men of Babylon, and said to him, Do not put to death the wise men of Babylon: take me in before the king and I will make clear to him the sense of the dream.

bbe@Daniel:2:25 @Then Arioch quickly took Daniel in before the king, and said to him, Here is a man from among the prisoners of Judah, who will make clear to the king the sense of the dream.

bbe@Daniel:2:35 @Then the iron and the earth, the brass and the silver and the gold, were smashed together, and became like the dust on the floors where grain is crushed in summer; and the wind took them away so that no sign of them was to be seen: and the stone which gave the image a blow became a great mountain, covering all the earth.

bbe@Daniel:2:40 @And the fourth kingdom will be strong as iron: because, as all things are broken and overcome by iron, so it will have the power of crushing and smashing down all the earth.

bbe@Daniel:2:41 @And as you saw the feet and toes, part of potter's work and part of iron, there will be a division in the kingdom; but there will be some of the strength of iron in it, because you saw the iron mixed with the potter's earth.

bbe@Daniel:2:42 @And as the toes of the feet were in part of iron and in part of earth, so part of the kingdom will be strong and part of it will readily be broken.

bbe@Daniel:2:49 @And at Daniel's request, the king gave Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego authority over the business of the land of Babylon: but Daniel was kept near the king's person.

bbe@Daniel:3:5 @That when the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, bagpipe, and all sorts of instruments, comes to your ears, you are to go down on your faces in worship before the image of gold which Nebuchadnezzar the king has put up:

bbe@Daniel:3:7 @So at that time, all the people, when the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, and all sorts of instruments, came to their ears, went down on their faces in worship before the image of gold which Nebuchadnezzar the king had put up.

bbe@Daniel:3:10 @You, O King, have given an order that every man, when the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, bagpipe, and all sorts of instruments, comes to his ears, is to go down on his face in worship before the image of gold:

bbe@Daniel:3:15 @Now if you are ready, on hearing the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, bagpipe, and all sorts of instruments, to go down on your faces in worship before the image which I have made, it is well: but if you will not give worship, that same hour you will be put into a burning and flaming fire; and what god is there who will be able to take you out of my hands?

bbe@Daniel:3:22 @And because the king's order was not to be put on one side, and the heat of the fire was so great, the men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego were burned to death by the flame of the fire.

bbe@Daniel:3:25 @He made answer and said, Look! I see four men loose, walking in the middle of the fire, and they are not damaged; and the form of the fourth is like a son of the gods.

bbe@Daniel:3:28 @Nebuchadnezzar made answer and said, Praise be to the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who has sent his angel and kept his servants safe who had faith in him, and who put the king's word on one side and gave up their bodies to the fire, so that they might not be servants or worshippers of any other god but their God.

bbe@Daniel:4:6 @And I gave orders for all the wise men of Babylon to come in before me so that they might make clear to me the sense of my dream.

bbe@Daniel:4:17 @This order is fixed by the watchers, and the decision is by the word of the holy ones: so that the living may be certain that the Most High is ruler over the kingdom of men, and gives it to any man at his pleasure, lifting up over it the lowest of men.

bbe@Daniel:4:26 @And as they gave orders to let the broken end and the roots of the tree be, so your kingdom will be safe for you after it is clear to you that the heavens are ruling.

bbe@Daniel:4:27 @For this cause, O King, let my suggestion be pleasing to you, and let your sins be covered by righteousness and your evil-doing by mercy to the poor, so that the time of your well-being may be longer.

bbe@Daniel:4:34 @And at the end of the days, I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifting up my eyes to heaven, got back my reason, and, blessing the Most High, I gave praise and honour to him who is living for ever, whose rule is an eternal rule and whose kingdom goes on from generation to generation.

bbe@Daniel:4:36 @At the same time my reason came back to me; and for the glory of my kingdom, my honour and my great name came back to me; and my wise men and my lords were turned to me again; and I was made safe in my kingdom and had more power than before.

bbe@Daniel:5:2 @Belshazzar, while he was overcome with wine, gave orders for them to put before him the gold and silver vessels which Nebuchadnezzar, his father, had taken from the Temple in Jerusalem; so that the king and his lords, his wives and his other women, might take their drink from them.

bbe@Daniel:5:11 @There is a man in your kingdom in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of your father, light and reason like the wisdom of the gods were seen in him: and King Nebuchadnezzar, your father, made him master of the wonder-workers, and the users of secret arts, and the Chaldaeans, and the readers of signs;

bbe@Daniel:5:12 @Because a most special spirit, and knowledge and reason and the power of reading dreams and unfolding dark sayings and answering hard questions, were seen to be in him, even in Daniel (named Belteshazzar by the king): now let Daniel be sent for, and he will make clear the sense of the writing

bbe@Daniel:5:13 @Then they took Daniel in before the king; the king made answer and said to Daniel, So you are that Daniel, of the prisoners of Judah, whom my father took out of Judah.

bbe@Daniel:5:14 @And I have had news of you, that the spirit of the gods is in you, and that light and reason and special wisdom have been seen in you.

bbe@Daniel:5:19 @And because of the great power he gave him, all peoples and nations and languages were shaking in fear before him: some he put to death and others he kept living, at his pleasure, lifting up some and putting others down as it pleased him.

bbe@Daniel:5:21 @And he was sent out from among the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts', and he was living with the asses of the fields; he had grass for his food like the oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till he was certain that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and gives power over it to anyone at his pleasure.

bbe@Daniel:5:22 @And you, his son, O Belshazzar, have not kept your heart free from pride, though you had knowledge of all this;

bbe@Daniel:6:2 @And over them were three chief rulers, of whom Daniel was one; and the captains were to be responsible to the chief rulers, so that the king might undergo no loss.

bbe@Daniel:6:4 @Then the chief rulers and the captains were looking for some cause for putting Daniel in the wrong in connection with the kingdom, but they were unable to put forward any wrongdoing or error against him; because he was true, and no error or wrong was to be seen in him.

bbe@Daniel:6:5 @Then these men said, We will only get a reason for attacking Daniel in connection with the law of his God.

bbe@Daniel:6:8 @Now, O King, put the order in force, signing the writing so that it may not be changed, like the law of the Medes and Persians which may not come to an end.

bbe@Daniel:6:9 @For this reason King Darius put his name on the writing and the order.

bbe@Daniel:6:13 @Then they made answer and said before the king, Daniel, one of the prisoners of Judah, has no respect for you, O King, or for the order signed by you, but three times a day he makes his prayer to God.

bbe@Daniel:6:17 @Then they got a stone and put it over the mouth of the hole, and it was stamped with the king's stamp and with the stamp of the lords, so that the decision about Daniel might not be changed.

bbe@Daniel:6:23 @Then the king was very glad, and gave orders for them to take Daniel up out of the hole. So Daniel was taken up out of the hole and he was seen to be untouched, because he had faith in his God.

bbe@Daniel:6:28 @So this Daniel did well in the kingdom of Darius and in the kingdom of Cyrus the Persian.

bbe@Daniel:7:7 @After this, in my vision of the night, I saw a fourth beast, a thing causing fear and very troubling, full of power and very strong; and it had great iron teeth: it took its food, crushing some of it to bits and stamping down the rest with its feet: it was different from all the beasts before it; and it had ten horns.

bbe@Daniel:7:19 @Then it was my desire to have certain knowledge about the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, a cause of great fear, whose teeth were of iron and his nails of brass; who took his food, crushing some of it to bits and stamping on the rest with his feet;

bbe@Daniel:8:4 @I saw the sheep pushing to the west and to the north and to the south; and no beasts were able to keep their place before him, and no one was able to get people out of his power; but he did whatever his pleasure was and made himself great.

bbe@Daniel:8:7 @And I saw him come right up to the sheep, and he was moved with wrath against him, attacking the sheep so that his two horns were broken; and the sheep had not strength to keep his place before him, but was pushed down on the earth and crushed under his feet: and there was no one to get the sheep out of his power.

bbe@Daniel:8:9 @And out of one of them came another horn, a little one, which became very great, stretching to the south and to the east and to the beautiful land.

bbe@Daniel:8:10 @And it became great, even as high as the army of heaven, pulling down some of the army, even of the stars, to the earth and crushing them under its feet.

bbe@Daniel:8:17 @So he came and took his place near where I was; and when he came, I was full of fear and went down on my face: but he said to me, Let it be clear to you, O son of man; for the vision has to do with the time of the end.

bbe@Daniel:8:27 @And I, Daniel, was ill for some days; then I got up and did the king's business: and I was full of wonder at the vision, but no one was able to give the sense of it.

bbe@Daniel:9:1 @In the first year of Darius, the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, who was made king over the kingdom of the Chaldaeans;

bbe@Daniel:9:11 @And all Israel have been sinners against your law, turning away so as not to give ear to your voice: and the curse has been let loose on us, and the oath recorded in the law of Moses, the servant of God, for we have done evil against him.

bbe@Daniel:9:14 @So the Lord has been watching over this evil and has made it come on us: for the Lord our God is upright in all his acts which he has done, and we have not given ear to his voice.

bbe@Daniel:9:23 @At the first word of your prayer a word went out, and I have come to give you knowledge; for you are a man dearly loved: so give thought to the word and let the vision be clear to you.

bbe@Daniel:9:24 @Seventy weeks have been fixed for your people and your holy town, to let wrongdoing be complete and sin come to its full limit, and for the clearing away of evil-doing and the coming in of eternal righteousness: so that the vision and the word of the prophet may be stamped as true, and to put the holy oil on a most holy place.

bbe@Daniel:9:27 @And a strong order will be sent out against the great number for one week; and so for half of the week the offering and the meal offering will come to an end; and in its place will be an unclean thing causing fear; till the destruction which has been fixed is let loose on him who has made waste.

bbe@Daniel:10:6 @And his body was like the beryl, and his face had the look of a thunder-flame, and his eyes were like burning lights, and his arms and feet like the colour of polished brass, and the sound of his voice was like the sound of an army.

bbe@Daniel:10:8 @So I was by myself, and I saw this great vision, and all my strength went from me; and the colour went from my face.

bbe@Daniel:10:9 @But the sound of his words came to my ears, and on hearing his voice I went into a deep sleep with my face to the earth

bbe@Daniel:10:16 @Then one whose form was like the sons of men put his finger on my lips; and opening my mouth, I said to him who was before me, O my lord, because of the vision my pains have come on me, and I have no more strength.

bbe@Daniel:11:5 @And the king of the south will be strong, but one of his captains will be stronger than he and will be ruler; and his rule will be a great rule.

bbe@Daniel:11:6 @And at the end of years they will be joined together; and the daughter of the king of the south will come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she will not keep the strength of her arm; and his offspring will not keep their place; but she will be uprooted, with those who were the cause of her coming, and her son, and he who took her in those times.

bbe@Daniel:11:8 @And their gods and their metal images and their fair vessels of silver and gold he will take away into the south; and for some years he will keep away from the king of the north.

bbe@Daniel:11:9 @And he will come into the kingdom of the king of the south, but he will go back to his land.

bbe@Daniel:11:10 @And his son will make war, and will get together an army of great forces, and he will make an attack on him, overflowing and going past: and he will again take the war even to his strong place.

bbe@Daniel:11:11 @And the king of the south will be moved with wrath, and will come out and make war on him, on this same king of the north: and he will get together a great army, but the army will be given into his hand

bbe@Daniel:11:14 @In those times, a number will take up arms against the king of the south: and the children of the violent among your people will be lifting themselves up to make the vision come true; but it will be their downfall.

bbe@Daniel:11:15 @So the king of the north will come, and put up earthworks and take a well-armed town: and the forces of the king of the south will make an attempt to keep their position, even the best of his army, but they will not have strength to do so.

bbe@Daniel:11:21 @And his place will be taken by a low person, to whom the honour of the kingdom had not been given: but he will come in time of peace and will get the kingdom by fair words.

bbe@Daniel:11:25 @And he will put in motion his power and his strength against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south will go to war with a very great and strong army: but he will be forced to give way, because of their designs against him;

bbe@Daniel:11:29 @At the time fixed he will come back and come into the south; but in the later time it will not be as it was before.

bbe@Daniel:11:33 @And those who are wise among the people will be the teachers of the mass of the people: but they will come to their downfall by the sword and by the flame, being made prisoners and undergoing loss for a long time.

bbe@Daniel:11:35 @And some of those who are wise will have wisdom in testing themselves and making themselves clean, till the time of the end: for it is still for the fixed time.

bbe@Daniel:11:40 @And at the time of the end, the king of the south will make an attack on him: and the king of the north will come against him like a storm-wind, with war-carriages and horsemen and numbers of ships; and he will go through many lands like overflowing waters.

bbe@Daniel:11:42 @And his hand will be stretched out on the countries: and the land of the south will not be safe from him.

bbe@Daniel:11:43 @But he will have power over the stores of gold and silver, and over all the valued things of the south: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians will be at his steps.

bbe@Daniel:12:2 @And a number of those who are sleeping in the dust of the earth will come out of their sleep, some to eternal life and some to eternal shame.

bbe@Hosea:1:1 @The word of the Lord which came to Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam, the son of Joash, king of Israel.

bbe@Hosea:1:3 @So he took as his wife Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim, and she gave birth to a son.

bbe@Hosea:1:8 @Now when Lo-ruhamah had been taken from the breast, the woman gave birth to a son.

bbe@Hosea:1:10 @But still the number of the children of Israel will be like the sand of the sea, which may not be measured or numbered; and in place of its being said to them, You are not my people, it will be said to them, You are the sons of the living God

bbe@Hosea:2:6 @For this cause I will put thorns in her road, building up a wall round her so that she may not go on her way.

bbe@Hosea:2:9 @So I will take away again my grain in its time and my wine, and I will take away my wool and my linen with which her body might have been covered.

bbe@Hosea:3:2 @So I got her for myself for fifteen shekels of silver and a homer and a half of barley;

bbe@Hosea:3:3 @And I said to her, You are to be mine for a long space of time; you are not to be false to me, and no other man is to have you for his wife; and so will I be to you.

bbe@Hosea:4:6 @Destruction has overtaken my people because they have no knowledge; because you have given up knowledge, I will give you up, so that you will be no priest to me, because you have not kept in mind the law of your God, I will not keep your children in my memory.

bbe@Hosea:4:13 @They make offerings on the tops of mountains, burning perfumes in high places, under trees of every sort, because their shade is good: and so your daughters are given up to loose ways and your brides are false to their husbands.

bbe@Hosea:5:8 @Let the horn be sounded in Gibeah and in Ramah; give a loud cry in Beth-aven, They are after you, O Benjamin.

bbe@Hosea:5:12 @And so to Ephraim I am like a wasting insect, and a destruction to the children of Judah

bbe@Hosea:6:5 @So I have had it cut in stones; I gave them teaching by the words of my mouth;

bbe@Hosea:6:9 @And like a band of thieves waiting for a man, so are the priests watching secretly the way of those going quickly to Shechem, for they are working with an evil design.

bbe@Hosea:8:4 @They have put up kings, but not by me; they have made princes, but I had no knowledge of it; they have made images of silver and gold, so that they may be cut off.

bbe@Hosea:9:4 @They will give no wine offering to the Lord, they will not make offerings ready for him; their bread will be like the bread of those in sorrow; all who take it will be unclean, because their bread will be only for their desire, it will not come into the house of the Lord.

bbe@Hosea:9:12 @Even though their children have come to growth I will take them away, so that not a man will be there; for their evil-doing will be complete and they will be put to shame because of it.

bbe@Hosea:9:13 @As I have seen a beast whose young have been taken from her, so Ephraim will give birth to children only for them to be put to death.

bbe@Hosea:10:1 @Israel is a branching vine, full of fruit; as his fruit is increased, so the number of his altars is increased; as the land is fair, so they have made fair pillars.

bbe@Hosea:10:4 @Their words are foolish; they make agreements with false oaths, so punishment will come up like a poison-plant in a ploughed field.

bbe@Hosea:10:5 @The people of Samaria will be full of fear because of the ox of Beth-aven; its people will have sorrow for it, and its priests will give cries of grief for its glory, for the glory has gone in flight.

bbe@Hosea:10:9 @O Israel, you have done evil from the days of Gibeah; there they took up their position, so that the fighting against the children of evil might not overtake them in Gibeah

bbe@Hosea:10:14 @So a great outcry will go up from among your people, and all your strong places will be broken, as Beth-arbel was broken by Shalman in the day of war, as the mother was broken on the rocks with her children.

bbe@Hosea:10:15 @So will Beth-el do to you because of your evil-doing; at dawn will the king of Israel be cut off completely.

bbe@Hosea:11:1 @When Israel was a child he was dear to me; and I took my son out of Egypt.

bbe@Hosea:11:8 @How may I give you up, O Ephraim? how may I be your saviour, O Israel? how may I make you like Admah? how may I do to you as I did to Zeboim? My heart is turned in me, it is soft with pity.

bbe@Hosea:12:6 @So then, come back to your God; keep mercy and right, and be waiting at all times on your God.

bbe@Hosea:12:10 @My word came to the ears of the prophets and I gave them visions in great number, and by the mouths of the prophets I made use of comparisons.

bbe@Hosea:12:14 @I have been bitterly moved to wrath by Ephraim; so that his blood will be on him, and the Lord will make his shame come back on him.

bbe@Hosea:13:3 @So they will be like the morning cloud, like the dew which goes early away, like the dust of the grain which the wind is driving out of the crushing-floor, like smoke going up from the fireplace.

bbe@Hosea:13:7 @So I will be like a lion to them; as a cruel beast I will keep watch by the road;

bbe@Hosea:13:13 @The pains of a woman in childbirth will come on him: he is an unwise son, for at this time it is not right for him to keep his place when children come to birth.

bbe@Hosea:14:2 @Take with you words, and come back to the Lord; say to him, Let there be forgiveness for all wrongdoing, so that we may take what is good, and give in payment the fruit of our lips.

bbe@Joel:1:1 @The word of the Lord which came to Joel, the son of Pethuel.

bbe@Joel:1:5 @Come out of your sleep, you who are overcome with wine, and give yourselves to weeping; give cries of sorrow, all you drinkers of wine, because of the sweet wine; for it has been cut off from your mouths.

bbe@Joel:1:8 @Make sounds of grief like a virgin dressed in haircloth for the husband of her early years.

bbe@Joel:1:9 @The meal offering and the drink offering have been cut off from the house of the Lord; the priests, the Lord's servants, are sorrowing.

bbe@Joel:1:12 @The vine has become dry and the fig-tree is feeble; the pomegranate and the palm-tree and the apple-tree, even all the trees of the field, are dry: because joy has gone from the sons of men.

bbe@Joel:1:13 @Put haircloth round you and give yourselves to sorrow, you priests; give cries of grief, you servants of the altar: come in, and, clothed in haircloth, let the night go past, you servants of my God: for the meal offering and the drink offering have been kept back from the house of your God.

bbe@Joel:1:15 @Sorrow for the day! for the day of the Lord is near, and as destruction from the Ruler of all it will come.

bbe@Joel:1:18 @What sounds of pain come from the beasts! the herds of cattle are at a loss because there is no grass for them; even the flocks of sheep are no longer to be seen.

bbe@Joel:2:1 @Let the horn be sounded in Zion, and a war-cry in my holy mountain; let all the people of the land be troubled: for the day of the Lord is coming;

bbe@Joel:2:5 @Like the sound of war-carriages they go jumping on the tops of the mountains; like the noise of a flame of fire burning up the grain-stems, like a strong people lined up for the fight.

bbe@Joel:2:12 @But even now, says the Lord, come back to me with all your heart, keeping from food, with weeping and with sorrow:

bbe@Joel:2:15 @Let a horn be sounded in Zion, let a time be fixed for going without food, have a holy meeting:

bbe@Joel:2:17 @Let the priests, the servants of the Lord, be weeping between the covered way and the altar, and let them say, Have mercy on your people, O Lord, do not give up your heritage to shame, so that the nations become their rulers: why let them say among the peoples, Where is their God?

bbe@Joel:2:28 @And after that, it will come about, says the Lord, that I will send my spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will be prophets, your old men will have dreams, your young men will see visions:

bbe@Joel:2:32 @And it will be that whoever makes his prayer to the name of the Lord will be kept safe: for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem some will be kept safe, as the Lord has said, and will be among the small band marked out by the Lord.

bbe@Joel:3:6 @And the children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem you have given for a price to the sons of the Greeks, to send them far away from their land:

bbe@Joel:3:8 @I will give your sons and your daughters into the hands of the children of Judah for a price, and they will give them for a price to the men of Sheba, a nation far off: for the Lord has said it.

bbe@Joel:3:16 @And the Lord will be thundering from Zion, and his voice will be sounding from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth will be shaking: but the Lord will be a breastplate for his people and a strong place for the children of Israel.

bbe@Joel:3:17 @And you will be certain that I am the Lord your God, living in Zion, my holy mountain: and Jerusalem will be holy, and no strange person will ever again go through her.

bbe@Amos:1:1 @The words of Amos, who was among the herdsmen of Tekoa; what he saw about Israel in the days of Uzziah, king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam, the son of Joash, king of Israel, two years before the earth-shock.

bbe@Amos:1:2 @And he said, The Lord will give a lion's cry from Zion, his voice will be sounding from Jerusalem; and the fields of the keepers of sheep will become dry, and the top of Carmel will be wasted away.

bbe@Amos:1:5 @And I will have the locks of the door of Damascus broken, and him who is seated in power cut off from the valley of Aven, and him in whose hand is the rod from the house of Eden; and the people of Aram will go away as prisoners into Kir, says the Lord.

bbe@Amos:1:6 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Gaza, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they took all the people away prisoners, to give them up to Edom.

bbe@Amos:1:9 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Tyre, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they gave up all the people prisoners to Edom, without giving a thought to the brothers' agreement between them.

bbe@Amos:1:13 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because in Gilead they had women with child cut open, so that they might make wider the limits of their land.

bbe@Amos:1:15 @And their king will be made prisoner, he and his captains together, says the Lord.

bbe@Amos:2:2 @And I will send a fire on Moab, burning up the great houses of Kerioth: and death will come on Moab with noise and outcries and the sound of the horn:

bbe@Amos:2:10 @And I took you up out of the land of Egypt, guiding you for forty years in the waste land, so that you might take for your heritage the land of the Amorite.

bbe@Amos:2:11 @And some of your sons I made prophets, and some of your young men I made separate for myself. Is it not even so, O children of Israel? says the Lord.

bbe@Amos:3:2 @You only of all the families of the earth have I taken care of: for this reason I will send punishment on you for all your sins.

bbe@Amos:3:4 @Will a lion give his loud cry in the woodland when no food is there? will the voice of the young lion be sounding from his hole if he has taken nothing?

bbe@Amos:3:6 @If the horn is sounded in the town will the people not be full of fear? will evil come on a town if the Lord has not done it?

bbe@Amos:3:8 @The cry of the lion is sounding; who will not have fear? The Lord God has said the word; is it possible for the prophet to keep quiet?

bbe@Amos:3:11 @For this reason, says the Lord, an attacker will come, shutting in the land on every side; and your strength will come down and your great houses will be made waste.

bbe@Amos:3:12 @These are the words of the Lord: As the keeper of sheep takes out of the mouth of the lion two legs or part of an ear; so will the children of Israel be made safe, who are resting in Samaria on seats of honour or on the silk cushions of a bed.

bbe@Amos:4:8 @So two or three towns went wandering to one town looking for water, and did not get enough: and still you have not come back to me, says the Lord.

bbe@Amos:4:11 @And I have sent destruction among you, as when God sent destruction on Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were like a burning stick pulled out of the fire: and still you have not come back to me, says the Lord.

bbe@Amos:4:12 @So this is what I will do to you, O Israel: and because I will do this to you, be ready for a meeting with your God, O Israel.

bbe@Amos:5:1 @Give ear to this word, my song of sorrow over you, O children of Israel.

bbe@Amos:5:4 @For these are the words of the Lord to the children of Israel: Let your hearts be turned to me, so that you may have life:

bbe@Amos:5:5 @Do not be looking for help to Beth-el, and do not go to Gilgal, or make your way to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal will certainly be taken prisoner, and Beth-el will come to nothing.

bbe@Amos:5:6 @Go to the Lord for help so that you may have life; for fear that he may come like fire bursting out in the family of Joseph, causing destruction, and there will be no one to put it out in Beth-el.

bbe@Amos:5:9 @Who sends sudden destruction on the strong, so that destruction comes on the walled town.

bbe@Amos:5:11 @So because the poor man is crushed under your feet, and you take taxes from him of grain: you have made for yourselves houses of cut stone, but you will not take your rest in them; the fair vine-gardens planted by your hands will not give you wine.

bbe@Amos:5:13 @So the wise will say nothing in that time; for it is an evil time.

bbe@Amos:5:14 @Go after good and not evil, so that life may be yours: and so the Lord, the God of armies, will be with you, as you say.

bbe@Amos:5:16 @So these are the words of the Lord, the God of armies, the Lord: There will be weeping in all the open spaces; and in all the streets they will say, Sorrow! sorrow! and they will get in the farmer to the weeping, and the makers of sad songs to give cries of grief.

bbe@Amos:5:18 @Sorrow to you who are looking for the day of the Lord! what is the day of the Lord to you? it is dark and not light.

bbe@Amos:5:23 @Take away from me the noise of your songs; my ears are shut to the melody of your instruments.

bbe@Amos:5:27 @And I will send you away as prisoners farther than Damascus, says the Lord, whose name is the God of armies.

bbe@Amos:6:1 @Sorrow to those who are resting in comfort in Zion, and to those who have no fear of danger in the mountain of Samaria, the noted men of the chief of the nations, to whom the people of Israel come!

bbe@Amos:6:4 @Who are resting on beds of ivory, stretched out on soft seats, feasting on lambs from the flock and young oxen from the cattle-house;

bbe@Amos:6:5 @Making foolish songs to the sound of corded instruments, and designing for themselves instruments of music, like David;

bbe@Amos:6:7 @So now they will go away prisoners with the first of those who are made prisoners, and the loud cry of those who were stretched out will come to an end.

bbe@Amos:6:8 @The Lord God has taken an oath by himself, says the Lord, the God of armies: the pride of Jacob is disgusting to me, and I have hate for his great houses: so I will give up the town with everything in it.

bbe@Amos:6:12 @Is it possible for horses to go running on the rock? may the sea be ploughed with oxen? for the right to be turned by you into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into a bitter plant?

bbe@Amos:7:11 @For Amos has said, Jeroboam will be put to the sword, and Israel will certainly be taken away as a prisoner out of his land.

bbe@Amos:7:14 @Then Amos in answer said to Amaziah, I am no prophet, or one of the sons of the prophets; I am a herdman and one who takes care of sycamore-trees:

bbe@Amos:7:17 @So this is what the Lord has said: Your wife will be a loose woman in the town, and your sons and your daughters will be put to the sword, and your land will be cut up into parts by a line; and you yourself will come to your end in an unclean land, and Israel will certainly be taken away a prisoner out of his land.

bbe@Amos:8:3 @And the songs of the king's house will be cries of pain in that day, says the Lord God: great will be the number of the dead bodies, and everywhere they will put them out without a word.

bbe@Amos:8:5 @Saying, When will the new moon be gone, so that we may do trade in grain? and the Sabbath, so that we may put out in the market the produce of our fields? making the measure small and the price great, and trading falsely with scales of deceit;

bbe@Amos:8:8 @Will not the land be shaking with fear because of this, and everyone in it have sorrow? and all of it will be overflowing like the River; and it will be troubled and go down again like the River of Egypt.

bbe@Amos:8:10 @Your feasts will be turned into sorrow and all your melody into songs of grief; everyone will be clothed with haircloth, and the hair of every head will be cut; I will make the weeping like that for an only son, and the end of it like a bitter day.

bbe@Amos:9:1 @I saw the Lord stationed by the side of the altar, giving blows to the tops of the pillars so that the doorsteps were shaking: and he said, I will let all of them be broken with earth-shocks; I will put the last of them to the sword: if any one of them goes in flight he will not get away, not one of them will be safe.

bbe@Amos:9:4 @And though they are taken away as prisoners by their attackers, even there will I give orders to the sword to put them to death: my eyes will be fixed on them for evil and not for good.

bbe@Amos:9:5 @For the Lord, the God of armies, is he at whose touch the land is turned to water, and everyone in it will be given up to sorrow; all of it will be overflowing like the River, and will go down again like the River of Egypt;

bbe@Amos:9:12 @So that the rest of Edom may be their heritage, and all the nations who have been named by my name, says the Lord, who is doing this.

bbe@Obadiah:1:9 @And your men of war, O Teman, will be overcome with fear, so that every one of them may be cut off from the mountain of Esau.

bbe@Obadiah:1:16 @For as you have been drinking on my holy mountain, so will all the nations go on drinking without end; they will go on drinking and the wine will go down their throats, and they will be as if they had never been.

bbe@Obadiah:1:17 @But in Mount Zion some will be kept safe, and it will be holy; and the children of Jacob will take their heritage.

bbe@Obadiah:1:19 @And they will take the South, and the lowland, and the country of Ephraim, and Gilead, as their heritage.

bbe@Obadiah:1:20 @And those of the children of Israel who were the first to be taken away as prisoners, will have their heritage among the Canaanites as far as Zarephath; and those who were taken away from Jerusalem, who are in Sepharad, will have the towns of the South.

bbe@Jonah:1:1 @And the word of the Lord came to Jonah, the son of Amittai, saying,

bbe@Jonah:1:3 @And Jonah got up to go in flight to Tarshish, away from the Lord; and he went down to Joppa, and saw there a ship going to Tarshish: so he gave them the price of the journey and went down into it to go with them to Tarshish, away from the Lord.

bbe@Jonah:1:4 @And the Lord sent out a great wind on to the sea and there was a violent storm in the sea, so that the ship seemed in danger of being broken.

bbe@Jonah:1:6 @And the ship's captain came to him and said to him, What are you doing sleeping? Up! say a prayer to your God, if by chance God will give a thought to us, so that we may not come to destruction.

bbe@Jonah:1:7 @And they said to one another, Come, let us put this to the decision of chance and see on whose account this evil has come on us. So they did so, and Jonah was seen to be the man.

bbe@Jonah:1:11 @And they said to him, What are we to do to you so that the sea may become calm for us? For the sea was getting rougher and rougher.

bbe@Jonah:1:13 @And the men were working hard to get back to the land, but they were not able to do so: for the sea got rougher and rougher against them.

bbe@Jonah:1:14 @So, crying to the Lord, they said, Give ear to our prayer, O Lord, give ear, and do not let destruction overtake us because of this man's life; do not put on us the sin of taking life without cause: for you, O Lord, have done what seemed good to you.

bbe@Jonah:1:15 @So they took Jonah up and put him into the sea: and the sea was no longer angry.

bbe@Jonah:2:7 @When my soul in me was overcome, I kept the memory of the Lord: and my prayer came in to you, into your holy Temple.

bbe@Jonah:3:3 @So Jonah got up and went to Nineveh as the Lord had said. Now Nineveh was a very great town, three days' journey from end to end.

bbe@Jonah:3:9 @Who may say that God will not be turned, changing his purpose and turning away from his burning wrath, so that destruction may not overtake us?

bbe@Jonah:4:3 @So now, O Lord, give ear to my prayer and take my life from me; for death is better for me than life.

bbe@Jonah:4:8 @Then when the sun came up, God sent a burning east wind: and so great was the heat of the sun on his head that Jonah was overcome, and, requesting death for himself, said, Death is better for me than life.

bbe@Jonah:4:11 @And am I not to have mercy on Nineveh, that great town, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand persons without the power of judging between right and left, as well as much cattle?

bbe@Micah:1:6 @So I will make Samaria into a field and the plantings of a vine-garden: I will send its stones falling down into the valley, uncovering its bases.

bbe@Micah:1:8 @For this I will be full of sorrow and give cries of grief; I will go uncovered and unclothed: I will give cries of grief like the jackals and will be in sorrow like the ostriches.

bbe@Micah:1:16 @Let your head be uncovered and your hair cut off in sorrow for the children of your delight: let the hair be pulled from your head like an eagle's; for they have been taken away from you as prisoners.

bbe@Micah:2:4 @In that day this saying will be said about you, and this song of grief will be made: The heritage of my people is measured out, and there is no one to give it back; those who have made us prisoners have taken our fields from us, and complete destruction has come to us.

bbe@Micah:2:8 @As for you, you have become haters of those who were at peace with you: you take the clothing of those who go by without fear, and make them prisoners of war.

bbe@Micah:2:11 @If a man came with a false spirit of deceit, saying, I will be a prophet to you of wine and strong drink: he would be the sort of prophet for this people.

bbe@Micah:3:12 @For this reason, Zion will be ploughed like a field because of you, and Jerusalem will become a mass of broken walls, and the mountain of the house like a high place in the woods.

bbe@Micah:4:9 @Now why are you crying so loudly? is there no king in you? has destruction come on your wise helper? so that pains have taken you like the pains of a woman in childbirth:

bbe@Micah:4:10 @Be in pain, make sounds of grief, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in childbirth: for now you will go out of the town, living in the open country, and will come even to Babylon; there you will have salvation; there the Lord will make you free from the hands of your haters

bbe@Micah:5:7 @And the rest of Jacob will be among the mass of peoples like dew from the Lord, like showers on the grass, which may not be kept back by man, or be waiting for the sons of men.

bbe@Micah:6:1 @Give ear now to the words of the Lord: Up! put forward your cause before the mountains, let your voice be sounding among the hills.

bbe@Micah:6:4 @For I took you up out of the land of Egypt and made you free from the prison-house; I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.

bbe@Micah:6:5 @O my people, keep in mind now what was designed by Balak, king of Moab, and the answer which Balaam, son of Beor, gave him; the events, from Shittim to Gilgal, so that you may be certain of the upright acts of the Lord.

bbe@Micah:6:7 @Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of sheep or with ten thousand rivers of oil? am I to give my first child for my wrongdoing, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?

bbe@Micah:6:13 @So I have made a start with your punishment; I have made you waste because of your sins.

bbe@Micah:6:16 @For you have kept the laws of Omri and all the works of the family of Ahab, and you have been guided by their designs: so that I might make you a cause of wonder and your people a cause of hisses; and the shame of my people will be on you.

bbe@Micah:7:1 @Sorrow is mine! for I am as when they have got in the summer fruits, like the last of the grapes: there is nothing for food, not even an early fig for my desire.

bbe@Micah:7:4 @The best of them is like a waste plant, and their upright ones are like a wall of thorns. Sorrow! the day of their fate has come; now will trouble come on them.

bbe@Micah:7:6 @For the son puts shame on his father, the daughter goes against her mother and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man's haters are those of his family.

bbe@Micah:7:8 @Do not be glad because of my sorrow, O my hater: after my fall I will be lifted up; when I am seated in the dark, the Lord will be a light to me.

bbe@Nahum:2:7 @And the queen is uncovered, she is taken away and her servant-girls are weeping like the sound of doves, hammering on their breasts.

bbe@Nahum:3:10 @But even she has been taken away, she has gone away as a prisoner: even her young children are smashed to bits at the top of all the streets: the fate of her honoured men is put to the decision of chance, and all her great men are put in chains

bbe@Nahum:3:18 @Sorrow! how are the keepers of your flock sleeping, O king of Assyria! your strong men are at rest; your people are wandering on the mountains, and there is no one to get them together.

bbe@Habakkuk:1:4 @For this reason the law is feeble and decisions are not effected: for the upright man is circled round by evil-doers; because of which right is twisted.

bbe@Habakkuk:1:9 @They are coming all of them with force; the direction of their faces is forward, the number of their prisoners is like the sands of the sea.

bbe@Habakkuk:1:16 @For this reason he makes an offering to his net, burning perfume to his fishing-net; because by them he gets much food and his meat is fat.

bbe@Habakkuk:2:2 @And the Lord gave me an answer, and said, Put the vision in writing and make it clear on stones, so that the reader may go quickly.

bbe@Habakkuk:2:4 @As for the man of pride, my soul has no pleasure in him; but the upright man will have life through his good faith.

bbe@Habakkuk:2:9 @A curse on him who gets evil profits for his family, so that he may put his resting-place on high and be safe from the hand of the wrongdoer!

bbe@Habakkuk:2:10 @You have been a cause of shame to your house by cutting off a number of peoples, and sinning against your soul.

bbe@Habakkuk:2:15 @A curse on him who gives his neighbour the wine of his wrath, making him overcome with strong drink from the cup of his passion, so that you may be a witness of their shame!

bbe@Habakkuk:3:10 @The mountains saw you and were moved with fear; the clouds were streaming with water: the voice of the deep was sounding; the sun did not come up, and the moon kept still in her place

bbe@Habakkuk:3:16 @Hearing it, my inner parts were moved, and my lips were shaking at the sound; my bones became feeble, and my steps were uncertain under me: I gave sounds of grief in the day of trouble, when his forces came up against the people in bands.

bbe@Zephaniah:1:1 @The word of the Lord which came to Zephaniah, the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah, the son of Amon, king of Judah.

bbe@Zephaniah:1:7 @Let there be no sound before the Lord God: for the day of the Lord is near: for the Lord has made ready an offering, he has made his guests holy.

bbe@Zephaniah:1:8 @And it will come about in the day of the Lord's offering, that I will send punishment on the rulers and the king's sons and all who are clothed in robes from strange lands.

bbe@Zephaniah:1:10 @And in that day, says the Lord, there will be the sound of a cry from the fish doorway, and an outcry from the new town, and a great thundering from the hills, and cries of grief from the people of the Hollow;

bbe@Zephaniah:1:15 @That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and sorrow, a day of wasting and destruction, a day of dark night and deep shade, a day of cloud and thick dark.

bbe@Zephaniah:1:16 @A day of sounding the horn and the war-cry against the walled towns and the high towers.

bbe@Zephaniah:1:17 @And I will send trouble on men so that they will go about like the blind, because they have done evil against the Lord: and their blood will be drained out like dust, and their strength like waste.

bbe@Zephaniah:2:5 @Sorrow to the people living by the sea, the nation of the Cherethites! The word of the Lord is against you, O Canaan, the land of the Philistines; I will send destruction on you till there is no one living in you.

bbe@Zephaniah:2:9 @For this cause, by my life, says the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, truly Moab will become like Sodom and the children of Ammon like Gomorrah, given up to waste plants and salt pools and unpeopled for ever: the rest of my people will take their property, the overflow of my nation will take their heritage.

bbe@Zephaniah:3:1 @Sorrow to her who is uncontrolled and unclean, the cruel town!

bbe@Zephaniah:3:4 @Her prophets are good-for-nothing persons, full of deceit: her priests have made the holy place unclean and have gone violently against the law.

bbe@Zephaniah:3:6 @I have had the nations cut off, their towers are broken down; I have made their streets a waste so that no one goes through them: destruction has overtaken their towns, so that there is no man living in them.

bbe@Zephaniah:3:7 @I said, Certainly you will go in fear of me, and come under my training, so that whatever I may send on her may not be cut off before her eyes: but they got up early and made all their works evil.

bbe@Zephaniah:3:8 @For this reason, go on waiting for me, says the Lord, till the day when I come up as a witness: for my purpose is to send for the nations and to get the kingdoms together, so that I may let loose on them my passion, even all my burning wrath: for all the earth will be burned up in the fire of my bitter passion.

bbe@Zephaniah:3:9 @For then I will give the people a clean language, so that they may all make prayer to the Lord and be his servants with one mind.

bbe@Zephaniah:3:17 @The Lord your God is among you, as a strong saviour: he will be glad over you with joy, he will make his love new again, he will make a song of joy over you as in the time of a holy feast.

bbe@Haggai:1:1 @In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, came the word of the Lord by Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, ruler of Judah, and to Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying,

bbe@Haggai:1:12 @Then Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and all the rest of the people, gave ear to the voice of the Lord their God and to the words of Haggai the prophet, because the Lord their God had sent him, and the people were in fear before the Lord.

bbe@Haggai:1:14 @And the spirit of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, ruler of Judah, was moved by the Lord, as was the spirit of Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the rest of the people; and they came and did work in the house of the Lord of armies, their God.

bbe@Haggai:2:2 @Say now to Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, ruler of Judah, and to Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the rest of the people,

bbe@Haggai:2:4 @But now be strong, O Zerubbabel, says the Lord; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, all you people of the land, says the Lord, and get to work: for I am with you, says the Lord of armies:

bbe@Haggai:2:12 @If anyone has some holy flesh folded in the skirt of his robe, will bread or soup or wine or oil or any other food be made holy if touched by his skirt? And the priests answering said, No.

bbe@Haggai:2:14 @Then Haggai said, So is this people and so is this nation before me, says the Lord; and so is every work of their hands; and the offering they give there is unclean.

bbe@Haggai:2:23 @In that day, says the Lord of armies, I will take you, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, says the Lord, and will make you as a jewelled ring: for I have taken you to be mine, says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Zechariah:1:1 @In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,

bbe@Zechariah:1:6 @But my words and my orders, which I gave to my servants the prophets, have they not overtaken your fathers? and turning back they said, As it was the purpose of the Lord of armies to do to us, in reward for our ways and our doings, so has he done.

bbe@Zechariah:1:7 @On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,

bbe@Zechariah:1:16 @So this is what the Lord has said: I have come back to Jerusalem with mercies; my house is to be put up in her, says the Lord of armies, and a line is to be stretched out over Jerusalem.

bbe@Zechariah:2:10 @Give songs of joy, O daughter of Zion: for I come, and I will make my resting-place among you, says the Lord.

bbe@Zechariah:2:13 @Let all flesh be quiet and make no sound before the Lord: for he is awake and has come from his holy resting-place.

bbe@Zechariah:3:5 @And let them put a clean head-dress on his head. So they put a clean head-dress on his head, clothing him with clean robes: and to him he said, See, I have taken your sin away from you.

bbe@Zechariah:4:14 @And he said, These are the two sons of oil, whose place is by the Lord of all the earth.

bbe@Zechariah:6:6 @The carriage in which are the black horses goes in the direction of the north country; the white go to the west; and those of mixed colour go in the direction of the south country.

bbe@Zechariah:6:7 @And the red ones go to the east; and they made request that they might go up and down through the earth: and he said, Go up and down through the earth. So they went up and down through the earth.

bbe@Zechariah:6:10 @Take the offerings of those who went away as prisoners, from Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah, and from the family of Josiah, the son of Zephaniah, who have come from Babylon;

bbe@Zechariah:6:14 @And the crown will be for grace to Heldai and Tobijah and Jedaiah and the son of Zephaniah, to keep their memory living in the house of the Lord

bbe@Zechariah:7:7 @Are not these the words which the Lord said to you by the earlier prophets, when Jerusalem was full of people and wealth, and the towns round about her and the South and the Lowland were peopled?

bbe@Zechariah:7:12 @And they made their hearts like the hardest stone, so that they might not give ear to the law and the words which the Lord of armies had said by the earlier prophets: and there came great wrath from the Lord of armies.

bbe@Zechariah:7:13 @And it came about that as they would not give ear to his voice, so I would not give ear to their voice, says the Lord of armies:

bbe@Zechariah:7:14 @But with a storm-wind I sent them in flight among all the nations of whom they had no knowledge. So the land was waste after them, so that no man went through or came back: for they had made waste the desired land.

bbe@Zechariah:8:4 @This is what the Lord of armies has said: There will again be old men and old women seated in the open spaces of Jerusalem, every man with his stick in his hand because he is so old.

bbe@Zechariah:8:13 @And it will come about that, as you were a curse among the nations, O children of Judah and children of Israel, so I will give you salvation and you will be a blessing: have no fear and let your hands be strong.

bbe@Zechariah:8:15 @So in these days it is again my purpose to do good to Jerusalem and to the children of Judah: have no fear.

bbe@Zechariah:8:19 @This is what the Lord of armies has said: The times of going without food in the fourth month and in the fifth and the seventh and the tenth months, will be for the people of Judah times of joy and happy meetings; so be lovers of good faith and of peace.

bbe@Zechariah:9:7 @And I will take away his blood from his mouth, and his disgusting things from between his teeth; and some of his people will be kept for our God: and he will be as a family in Judah, and Ekron as one living in Jerusalem.

bbe@Zechariah:9:8 @And I will put my forces in position round my house, so that there may be no coming and going: and no cruel master will again go through them: for now I have seen his trouble.

bbe@Zechariah:9:11 @And as for you, because of the blood of your agreement, I have sent out your prisoners from the deep hole in which there is no water.

bbe@Zechariah:9:12 @And they will come back to you, O daughter of Zion, as prisoners of hope: today I say to you that I will give you back twice as much;

bbe@Zechariah:9:13 @For I have made Judah a bow bent for my use, I have made Ephraim the arrows of the bow; I will make your sons, O Zion, take up arms against your sons, O Greece, and will make you like the sword of a man of war.

bbe@Zechariah:9:14 @And the Lord will be seen over them, and his arrow will go out like the thunder-flame: and the Lord God, sounding the war-horn, will go in the storm-winds of the South.

bbe@Zechariah:10:2 @For the images have said what is not true, and the readers of signs have seen deceit; they have given accounts of false dreams, they give comfort to no purpose: so they go out of the way like sheep, they are troubled because they have no keeper.

bbe@Zechariah:10:8 @With the sound of the pipe I will get them together; for I have given the price to make them free: and they will be increased as they were increased.

bbe@Zechariah:11:1 @Let your doors be open, O Lebanon, so that fire may be burning among your cedars.

bbe@Zechariah:11:3 @The sound of the crying of the keepers of the flock! for their glory is made waste: the sound of the loud crying of the young lions! for the pride of Jordan is made waste.

bbe@Zechariah:11:7 @So I took care of the flock of death, for those who made profit out of the flock; and I took for myself two rods, naming one Beautiful, and the other Bands; and I took care of the flock.

bbe@Zechariah:11:8 @And in one month I put an end to the three keepers of the flock; for my soul was tired of them, and their souls were disgusted with me.

bbe@Zechariah:11:10 @And I took my rod Beautiful, cutting it in two, so that the Lord's agreement, which he had made with all the peoples, might be broken.

bbe@Zechariah:11:12 @And I said to them, If it seems good to you, give me my payment; and if not, do not give it. So they gave me my payment by weight, thirty shekels of silver.

bbe@Zechariah:11:14 @Then I took my other rod, the one named Bands, cutting it in two, so that the relation of brothers between Judah and Israel might be broken.

bbe@Zechariah:12:7 @And the Lord will give salvation to the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the family of David and the glory of the people of Jerusalem may not be greater than that of Judah.

bbe@Zechariah:12:10 @And I will send down on the family of David and on the people of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and of prayer; and their eyes will be turned to the one who was wounded by their hands: and they will be weeping for him as for an only son, and their grief for him will be bitter, like the grief of one sorrowing for his oldest son.

bbe@Zechariah:13:3 @And if anyone goes on acting as a prophet, then his father and his mother who gave him life will say to him, You may not go on living, for you are saying what is false in the name of the Lord; and his father and his mother will put a sword through him when he does so.

bbe@Zechariah:14:2 @For I will get all the nations together to make war against Jerusalem; and the town will be overcome, and the goods taken from the houses, and the women taken by force: and half the town will go away as prisoners, and the rest of the people will not be cut off from the town.

bbe@Zechariah:14:4 @And in that day his feet will be on the Mount of Olives, which is opposite Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives will be parted in the middle to the east and to the west, forming a very great valley; and half the mountain will be moved to the north and half of it to the south.

bbe@Zechariah:14:8 @And on that day living waters will go out from Jerusalem; half of them flowing to the sea on the east and half to the sea on the west: in summer and in winter it will be so.

bbe@Zechariah:14:10 @And all the land will become like the Arabah, from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem; and she will be lifted up and be living in her place; from the doorway of Benjamin to the place of the first doorway, to the doorway of the angle, and from the tower of Hananel to the king's wine-crushing places, men will be living in her.

bbe@Malachi:1:6 @A son gives honour to his father, and a servant has fear of his master: if then I am a father, where is my honour? and if I am a master, where is the fear of me? says the Lord of armies to you, O priests, who give no value to my name.

bbe@Malachi:1:9 @And now, make request for the grace of God so that he may have mercy on us: this has been your doing: will he give his approval to any of you? says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Malachi:1:10 @If only there was one among you who would see that the doors were shut, so that you might not put a light to the fire on my altar for nothing! I have no pleasure in you, says the Lord of armies, and I will not take an offering from your hands.

bbe@Malachi:2:4 @And you will be certain that I have sent this order to you, so that it might be my agreement with Levi, says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Malachi:2:9 @And so I have taken away your honour and made you low before all the people, even as you have not kept my ways, and have given no thought to me in using the law.

bbe@Malachi:2:13 @And this again you do: covering the altar of the Lord with weeping and with grief, so that he gives no more thought to the offering, and does not take it with pleasure from your hand.

bbe@Malachi:2:14 @But you say, For what reason? Because the Lord has been a witness between you and the wife of your early years, to whom you have been untrue, though she is your friend and the wife to whom you have given your word.

bbe@Malachi:2:15 @... So give thought to your spirit, and let no one be false to the wife of his early years.

bbe@Malachi:2:16 @For I am against the putting away of a wife, says the Lord, the God of Israel, and against him who is clothed with violent acts, says the Lord of armies: so give thought to your spirit and do not be false in your acts.

bbe@Malachi:3:2 @But by whom may the day of his coming be faced? and who may keep his place when he is seen? for he is like the metal-tester's fire and the cleaner's soap.

bbe@Malachi:3:3 @He will take his seat, testing and cleaning the sons of Levi, burning away the evil from them as from gold and silver; so that they may make offerings to the Lord in righteousness.

bbe@Malachi:3:6 @For I am the Lord, I am unchanged; and so you, O sons of Jacob, have not been cut off.

bbe@Malachi:3:10 @Let your tenths come into the store-house so that there may be food in my house, and put me to the test by doing so, says the Lord of armies, and see if I do not make the windows of heaven open and send down such a blessing on you that there is no room for it

bbe@Malachi:3:14 @You have said, It is no use worshipping God: what profit have we had from keeping his orders, and going in clothing of sorrow before the Lord of armies?

bbe@Malachi:3:17 @And they will be mine, says the Lord, in the day when I make them my special property; and I will have mercy on them as a man has mercy on his son who is his servant.

bbe@Matthew:1:1 @The book of the generations of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
