rsv@Genesis:2:5 @ when no plant of the field was yet in the earth and no herb of the field had yet sprung up--for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was no man to till the ground;

rsv@Genesis:2:7 @ then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.

rsv@Genesis:2:9 @ And out of the ground the LORD God made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food, the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

rsv@Genesis:2:17 @ but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall die."

rsv@Genesis:2:18 @ Then the LORD God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him."

rsv@Genesis:2:20 @ The man gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for the man there was not found a helper fit for him.

rsv@Genesis:2:25 @ And the man and his wife were both naked, and were not ashamed.

rsv@Genesis:3:1 @ Now the serpent was more subtle than any other wild creature that the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God say, `You shall not eat of any tree of the garden'?"

rsv@Genesis:3:3 @ but God said, `You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.'"

rsv@Genesis:3:4 @ But the serpent said to the woman, "You will not die.

rsv@Genesis:3:5 @ For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

rsv@Genesis:3:11 @ He said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?"

rsv@Genesis:3:17 @ And to Adam he said, "Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, `You shall not eat of it,' cursed is the ground because of you; in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life;

rsv@Genesis:3:22 @ Then the LORD God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever"--

rsv@Genesis:4:1 @ Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, saying, "I have gotten a man with the help of the LORD."

rsv@Genesis:4:2 @ And again, she bore his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, and Cain a tiller of the ground.

rsv@Genesis:4:5 @ but for Cain and his offering he had no regard. So Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.

rsv@Genesis:4:7 @ If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is couching at the door; its desire is for you, but you must master it."

rsv@Genesis:4:9 @ Then the LORD said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?" He said, "I do not know; am I my brother's keeper?"

rsv@Genesis:4:11 @ And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.

rsv@Genesis:4:12 @ When you till the ground, it shall no longer yield to you its strength; you shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth."

rsv@Genesis:4:15 @ Then the LORD said to him, "Not so! If any one slays Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold." And the LORD put a mark on Cain, lest any who came upon him should kill him.

rsv@Genesis:4:16 @ Then Cain went away from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, east of Eden.

rsv@Genesis:4:17 @ Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch; and he built a city, and called the name of the city after the name of his son, Enoch.

rsv@Genesis:4:18 @ To Enoch was born Irad; and Irad was the father of Me-hu'ja-el, and Me-hu'ja-el the father of Me-thu'sha-el, and Me-thu'sha-el the father of Lamech.

rsv@Genesis:4:25 @ And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and called his name Seth, for she said, "God has appointed for me another child instead of Abel, for Cain slew him."

rsv@Genesis:4:26 @ To Seth also a son was born, and he called his name Enosh. At that time men began to call upon the name of the LORD.

rsv@Genesis:5:6 @ When Seth had lived a hundred and five years, he became the father of Enosh.

rsv@Genesis:5:7 @ Seth lived after the birth of Enosh eight hundred and seven years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:5:9 @ When Enosh had lived ninety years, he became the father of Kenan.

rsv@Genesis:5:10 @ Enosh lived after the birth of Kenan eight hundred and fifteen years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:5:11 @ Thus all the days of Enosh were nine hundred and five years; and he died.

rsv@Genesis:5:18 @ When Jared had lived a hundred and sixty-two years he became the father of Enoch.

rsv@Genesis:5:19 @ Jared lived after the birth of Enoch eight hundred years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:5:21 @ When Enoch had lived sixty-five years, he became the father of Methu'selah.

rsv@Genesis:5:22 @ Enoch walked with God after the birth of Methu'selah three hundred years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:5:23 @ Thus all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years.

rsv@Genesis:5:24 @ Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.

rsv@Genesis:5:29 @ and called his name Noah, saying, "Out of the ground which the LORD has cursed this one shall bring us relief from our work and from the toil of our hands."

rsv@Genesis:5:30 @ Lamech lived after the birth of Noah five hundred and ninety-five years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:5:32 @ After Noah was five hundred years old, Noah became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

rsv@Genesis:6:3 @ Then the LORD said, "My spirit shall not abide in man for ever, for he is flesh, but his days shall be a hundred and twenty years."

rsv@Genesis:6:4 @ The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men that were of old, the men of renown.

rsv@Genesis:6:8 @ But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD.

rsv@Genesis:6:9 @ These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation; Noah walked with God.

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

rsv@Genesis:6:11 @ Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight, and the earth was filled with violence.

rsv@Genesis:6:13 @ And God said to Noah, "I have determined to make an end of all flesh; for the earth is filled with violence through them; behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

rsv@Genesis:6:22 @ Noah did this; he did all that God commanded him.

rsv@Genesis:7:1 @ Then the LORD said to Noah, "Go into the ark, you and all your household, for I have seen that you are righteous before me in this generation.

rsv@Genesis:7:2 @ Take with you seven pairs of all clean animals, the male and his mate; and a pair of the animals that are not clean, the male and his mate;

rsv@Genesis:7:5 @ And Noah did all that the LORD had commanded him.

rsv@Genesis:7:6 @ Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came upon the earth.

rsv@Genesis:7:7 @ And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him went into the ark, to escape the waters of the flood.

rsv@Genesis:7:8 @ Of clean animals, and of animals that are not clean, and of birds, and of everything that creeps on the ground,

rsv@Genesis:7:9 @ two and two, male and female, went into the ark with Noah, as God had commanded Noah.

rsv@Genesis:7:11 @ In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst forth, and the windows of the heavens were opened.

rsv@Genesis:7:13 @ On the very same day Noah and his sons, Shem and Ham and Japheth, and Noah's wife and the three wives of his sons with them entered the ark,

rsv@Genesis:7:15 @ They went into the ark with Noah, two and two of all flesh in which there was the breath of life.

rsv@Genesis:7:22 @ everything on the dry land in whose nostrils was the breath of life died.

rsv@Genesis:7:23 @ He blotted out every living thing that was upon the face of the ground, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the air; they were blotted out from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those that were with him in the ark.

rsv@Genesis:8:1 @ But God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the cattle that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind blow over the earth, and the waters subsided;

rsv@Genesis:8:6 @ At the end of forty days Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made,

rsv@Genesis:8:9 @ but the dove found no place to set her foot, and she returned to him to the ark, for the waters were still on the face of the whole earth. So he put forth his hand and took her and brought her into the ark with him.

rsv@Genesis:8:10 @ He waited another seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;

rsv@Genesis:8:11 @ and the dove came back to him in the evening, and lo, in her mouth a freshly plucked olive leaf; so Noah knew that the waters had subsided from the earth.

rsv@Genesis:8:12 @ Then he waited another seven days, and sent forth the dove; and she did not return to him any more.

rsv@Genesis:8:13 @ In the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried from off the earth; and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and behold, the face of the ground was dry.

rsv@Genesis:8:15 @ Then God said to Noah,

rsv@Genesis:8:18 @ So Noah went forth, and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him.

rsv@Genesis:8:20 @ Then Noah built an altar to the LORD, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

rsv@Genesis:8:22 @ While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease."

rsv@Genesis:9:1 @ And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.

rsv@Genesis:9:4 @ Only you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood.

rsv@Genesis:9:8 @ Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him,

rsv@Genesis:9:17 @ God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth."

rsv@Genesis:9:18 @ The sons of Noah who went forth from the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham was the father of Canaan.

rsv@Genesis:9:19 @ These three were the sons of Noah; and from these the whole earth was peopled.

rsv@Genesis:9:20 @ Noah was the first tiller of the soil. He planted a vineyard;

rsv@Genesis:9:23 @ Then Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it upon both their shoulders, and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father; their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father's nakedness.

rsv@Genesis:9:24 @ When Noah awoke from his wine and knew what his youngest son had done to him,

rsv@Genesis:9:28 @ After the flood Noah lived three hundred and fifty years.

rsv@Genesis:9:29 @ All the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years; and he died.

rsv@Genesis:10:1 @ These are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth; sons were born to them after the flood.

rsv@Genesis:10:32 @ These are the families of the sons of Noah, according to their genealogies, in their nations; and from these the nations spread abroad on the earth after the flood.

rsv@Genesis:11:1 @ Now the whole earth had one language and few words.

rsv@Genesis:11:3 @ And they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly." And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar.

rsv@Genesis:11:6 @ And the LORD said, "Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; and nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.

rsv@Genesis:11:7 @ Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."

rsv@Genesis:11:27 @ Now these are the descendants of Terah. Terah was the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran was the father of Lot.

rsv@Genesis:11:30 @ Now Sar'ai was barren; she had no child.

rsv@Genesis:12:1 @ Now the LORD said to Abram, "Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you.

rsv@Genesis:12:10 @ Now there was a famine in the land. So Abram went down to Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine was severe in the land.

rsv@Genesis:12:11 @ When he was about to enter Egypt, he said to Sar'ai his wife, "I know that you are a woman beautiful to behold;

rsv@Genesis:12:18 @ So Pharaoh called Abram, and said, "What is this you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife?

rsv@Genesis:12:19 @ Why did you say, `She is my sister,' so that I took her for my wife? Now then, here is your wife, take her, and be gone."

rsv@Genesis:13:2 @ Now Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.

rsv@Genesis:13:6 @ so that the land could not support both of them dwelling together; for their possessions were so great that they could not dwell together,

rsv@Genesis:13:8 @ Then Abram said to Lot, "Let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen; for we are kinsmen.

rsv@Genesis:13:9 @ Is not the whole land before you? Separate yourself from me. If you take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if you take the right hand, then I will go to the left."

rsv@Genesis:13:13 @ Now the men of Sodom were wicked, great sinners against the LORD.

rsv@Genesis:13:14 @ The LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, "Lift up your eyes, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward;

rsv@Genesis:14:10 @ Now the Valley of Siddim was full of bitumen pits; and as the kings of Sodom and Gomor'rah fled, some fell into them, and the rest fled to the mountain.

rsv@Genesis:14:15 @ And he divided his forces against them by night, he and his servants, and routed them and pursued them to Hobah, north of Damascus.

rsv@Genesis:14:23 @ that I would not take a thread or a sandal-thong or anything that is yours, lest you should say, `I have made Abram rich.'

rsv@Genesis:14:24 @ I will take nothing but what the young men have eaten, and the share of the men who went with me; let Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre take their share."

rsv@Genesis:15:1 @ After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, "Fear not, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great."

rsv@Genesis:15:3 @ And Abram said, "Behold, thou hast given me no offspring; and a slave born in my house will be my heir."

rsv@Genesis:15:4 @ And behold, the word of the LORD came to him, "This man shall not be your heir; your own son shall be your heir."

rsv@Genesis:15:8 @ But he said, "O Lord GOD, how am I to know that I shall possess it?"

rsv@Genesis:15:10 @ And he brought him all these, cut them in two, and laid each half over against the other; but he did not cut the birds in two.

rsv@Genesis:15:13 @ Then the LORD said to Abram, "Know of a surety that your descendants will be sojourners in a land that is not theirs, and will be slaves there, and they will be oppressed for four hundred years;

rsv@Genesis:15:16 @ And they shall come back here in the fourth generation; for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete."

rsv@Genesis:16:1 @ Now Sar'ai, Abram's wife, bore him no children. She had an Egyptian maid whose name was Hagar;

rsv@Genesis:16:2 @ and Sar'ai said to Abram, "Behold now, the LORD has prevented me from bearing children; go in to my maid; it may be that I shall obtain children by her." And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sar'ai.

rsv@Genesis:16:10 @ The angel of the LORD also said to her, "I will so greatly multiply your descendants that they cannot be numbered for multitude."

rsv@Genesis:17:5 @ No longer shall your name be Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.

rsv@Genesis:17:12 @ He that is eight days old among you shall be circumcised; every male throughout your generations, whether born in your house, or bought with your money from any foreigner who is not of your offspring,

rsv@Genesis:17:14 @ Any uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin shall be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant."

rsv@Genesis:17:15 @ And God said to Abraham, "As for Sar'ai your wife, you shall not call her name Sar'ai, but Sarah shall be her name.

rsv@Genesis:17:19 @ God said, "No, but Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him.

rsv@Genesis:18:3 @ and said, "My lord, if I have found favor in your sight, do not pass by your servant.

rsv@Genesis:18:11 @ Now Abraham and Sarah were old, advanced in age; it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.

rsv@Genesis:18:13 @ The LORD said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh, and say, `Shall I indeed bear a child, now that I am old?'

rsv@Genesis:18:15 @ But Sarah denied, saying, "I did not laugh"; for she was afraid. He said, "No, but you did laugh."

rsv@Genesis:18:19 @ No, for I have chosen him, that he may charge his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing righteousness and justice; so that the LORD may bring to Abraham what he has promised him."

rsv@Genesis:18:21 @ I will go down to see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry which has come to me; and if not, I will know."

rsv@Genesis:18:24 @ Suppose there are fifty righteous within the city; wilt thou then destroy the place and not spare it for the fifty righteous who are in it?

rsv@Genesis:18:25 @ Far be it from thee to do such a thing, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous fare as the wicked! Far be that from thee! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?"

rsv@Genesis:18:28 @ Suppose five of the fifty righteous are lacking? Wilt thou destroy the whole city for lack of five?" And he said, "I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there."

rsv@Genesis:18:29 @ Again he spoke to him, and said, "Suppose forty are found there." He answered, "For the sake of forty I will not do it."

rsv@Genesis:18:30 @ Then he said, "Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak. Suppose thirty are found there." He answered, "I will not do it, if I find thirty there."

rsv@Genesis:18:31 @ He said, "Behold, I have taken upon myself to speak to the Lord. Suppose twenty are found there." He answered, "For the sake of twenty I will not destroy it."

rsv@Genesis:18:32 @ Then he said, "Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak again but this once. Suppose ten are found there." He answered, "For the sake of ten I will not destroy it."

rsv@Genesis:19:2 @ and said, "My lords, turn aside, I pray you, to your servant's house and spend the night, and wash your feet; then you may rise up early and go on your way." They said, "No; we will spend the night in the street."

rsv@Genesis:19:5 @ and they called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, that we may know them."

rsv@Genesis:19:7 @ and said, "I beg you, my brothers, do not act so wickedly.

rsv@Genesis:19:8 @ Behold, I have two daughters who have not known man; let me bring them out to you, and do to them as you please; only do nothing to these men, for they have come under the shelter of my roof."

rsv@Genesis:19:9 @ But they said, "Stand back!" And they said, "This fellow came to sojourn, and he would play the judge! Now we will deal worse with you than with them." Then they pressed hard against the man Lot, and drew near to break the door.

rsv@Genesis:19:17 @ And when they had brought them forth, they said, "Flee for your life; do not look back or stop anywhere in the valley; flee to the hills, lest you be consumed."

rsv@Genesis:19:18 @ And Lot said to them, "Oh, no, my lords;

rsv@Genesis:19:19 @ behold, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have shown me great kindness in saving my life; but I cannot flee to the hills, lest the disaster overtake me, and I die.

rsv@Genesis:19:20 @ Behold, yonder city is near enough to flee to, and it is a little one. Let me escape there--is it not a little one?--and my life will be saved!"

rsv@Genesis:19:21 @ He said to him, "Behold, I grant you this favor also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken.

rsv@Genesis:19:22 @ Make haste, escape there; for I can do nothing till you arrive there." Therefore the name of the city was called Zo'ar.

rsv@Genesis:19:30 @ Now Lot went up out of Zo'ar, and dwelt in the hills with his two daughters, for he was afraid to dwell in Zo'ar; so he dwelt in a cave with his two daughters.

rsv@Genesis:19:31 @ And the first-born said to the younger, "Our father is old, and there is not a man on earth to come in to us after the manner of all the earth.

rsv@Genesis:19:33 @ So they made their father drink wine that night; and the first-born went in, and lay with her father; he did not know when she lay down or when she arose.

rsv@Genesis:19:35 @ So they made their father drink wine that night also; and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose.

rsv@Genesis:20:4 @ Now Abim'elech had not approached her; so he said, "Lord, wilt thou slay an innocent people?

rsv@Genesis:20:5 @ Did he not himself say to me, `She is my sister'? And she herself said, `He is my brother.' In the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands I have done this."

rsv@Genesis:20:6 @ Then God said to him in the dream, "Yes, I know that you have done this in the integrity of your heart, and it was I who kept you from sinning against me; therefore I did not let you touch her.

rsv@Genesis:20:7 @ Now then restore the man's wife; for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you, and you shall live. But if you do not restore her, know that you shall surely die, you, and all that are yours."

rsv@Genesis:20:9 @ Then Abim'elech called Abraham, and said to him, "What have you done to us? And how have I sinned against you, that you have brought on me and my kingdom a great sin? You have done to me things that ought not to be done."

rsv@Genesis:20:11 @ Abraham said, "I did it because I thought, There is no fear of God at all in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife.

rsv@Genesis:20:12 @ Besides she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.

rsv@Genesis:21:10 @ So she said to Abraham, "Cast out this slave woman with her son; for the son of this slave woman shall not be heir with my son Isaac."

rsv@Genesis:21:12 @ But God said to Abraham, "Be not displeased because of the lad and because of your slave woman; whatever Sarah says to you, do as she tells you, for through Isaac shall your descendants be named.

rsv@Genesis:21:16 @ Then she went, and sat down over against him a good way off, about the distance of a bowshot; for she said, "Let me not look upon the death of the child." And as she sat over against him, the child lifted up his voice and wept.

rsv@Genesis:21:17 @ And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, and said to her, "What troubles you, Hagar? Fear not; for God has heard the voice of the lad where he is.

rsv@Genesis:21:23 @ now therefore swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me or with my offspring or with my posterity, but as I have dealt loyally with you, you will deal with me and with the land where you have sojourned."

rsv@Genesis:21:26 @ Abim'elech said, "I do not know who has done this thing; you did not tell me, and I have not heard of it until today."

rsv@Genesis:22:12 @ He said, "Do not lay your hand on the lad or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me."

rsv@Genesis:22:16 @ and said, "By myself I have sworn, says the LORD, because you have done this, and have not withheld your son, your only son,

rsv@Genesis:22:20 @ Now after these things it was told Abraham, "Behold, Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor:

rsv@Genesis:23:6 @ "Hear us, my lord; you are a mighty prince among us. Bury your dead in the choicest of our sepulchres; none of us will withhold from you his sepulchre, or hinder you from burying your dead."

rsv@Genesis:23:10 @ Now Ephron was sitting among the Hittites; and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the hearing of the Hittites, of all who went in at the gate of his city,

rsv@Genesis:23:11 @ "No, my lord, hear me; I give you the field, and I give you the cave that is in it; in the presence of the sons of my people I give it to you; bury your dead."

rsv@Genesis:24:1 @ Now Abraham was old, well advanced in years; and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.

rsv@Genesis:24:3 @ and I will make you swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and of the earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell,

rsv@Genesis:24:5 @ The servant said to him, "Perhaps the woman may not be willing to follow me to this land; must I then take your son back to the land from which you came?"

rsv@Genesis:24:6 @ Abraham said to him, "See to it that you do not take my son back there.

rsv@Genesis:24:8 @ But if the woman is not willing to follow you, then you will be free from this oath of mine; only you must not take my son back there."

rsv@Genesis:24:14 @ Let the maiden to whom I shall say, `Pray let down your jar that I may drink,' and who shall say, `Drink, and I will water your camels'--let her be the one whom thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac. By this I shall know that thou hast shown steadfast love to my master."

rsv@Genesis:24:16 @ The maiden was very fair to look upon, a virgin, whom no man had known. She went down to the spring, and filled her jar, and came up.

rsv@Genesis:24:21 @ The man gazed at her in silence to learn whether the LORD had prospered his journey or not.

rsv@Genesis:24:25 @ She added, "We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in."

rsv@Genesis:24:33 @ Then food was set before him to eat; but he said, "I will not eat until I have told my errand." He said, "Speak on."

rsv@Genesis:24:37 @ My master made me swear, saying, `You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell;

rsv@Genesis:24:39 @ I said to my master, `Perhaps the woman will not follow me.'

rsv@Genesis:24:49 @ Now then, if you will deal loyally and truly with my master, tell me; and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand or to the left."

rsv@Genesis:24:50 @ Then Laban and Bethu'el answered, "The thing comes from the LORD; we cannot speak to you bad or good.

rsv@Genesis:26:22 @ And he moved from there and dug another well, and over that they did not quarrel; so he called its name Reho'both, saying, "For now the LORD has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land."

rsv@Genesis:26:24 @ And the LORD appeared to him the same night and said, "I am the God of Abraham your father; fear not, for I am with you and will bless you and multiply your descendants for my servant Abraham's sake."

rsv@Genesis:27:19 @ Jacob said to his father, "I am Esau your first-born. I have done as you told me; now sit up and eat of my game, that you may bless me."

rsv@Genesis:27:21 @ Then Isaac said to Jacob, "Come near, that I may feel you, my son, to know whether you are really my son Esau or not."

rsv@Genesis:27:23 @ And he did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like his brother Esau's hands; so he blessed him.

rsv@Genesis:27:36 @ Esau said, "Is he not rightly named Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright; and behold, now he has taken away my blessing." Then he said, "Have you not reserved a blessing for me?"

rsv@Genesis:27:41 @ Now Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father had blessed him, and Esau said to himself, "The days of mourning for my father are approaching; then I will kill my brother Jacob."

rsv@Genesis:27:43 @ Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; arise, flee to Laban my brother in Haran,

rsv@Genesis:28:1 @ Then Isaac called Jacob and blessed him, and charged him, "You shall not marry one of the Canaanite women.

rsv@Genesis:28:6 @ Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan-aram to take a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he charged him, "You shall not marry one of the Canaanite women,"

rsv@Genesis:28:8 @ So when Esau saw that the Canaanite women did not please Isaac his father,

rsv@Genesis:28:14 @ and your descendants shall be like the dust of the earth, and you shall spread abroad to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south; and by you and your descendants shall all the families of the earth bless themselves.

rsv@Genesis:28:15 @ Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done that of which I have spoken to you."

rsv@Genesis:28:16 @ Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, "Surely the LORD is in this place; and I did not know it."

rsv@Genesis:28:17 @ And he was afraid, and said, "How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven."

rsv@Genesis:29:5 @ He said to them, "Do you know Laban the son of Nahor?" They said, "We know him."

rsv@Genesis:29:7 @ He said, "Behold, it is still high day, it is not time for the animals to be gathered together; water the sheep, and go, pasture them."

rsv@Genesis:29:8 @ But they said, "We cannot until all the flocks are gathered together, and the stone is rolled from the mouth of the well; then we water the sheep."

rsv@Genesis:29:10 @ Now when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, Jacob went up and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.

rsv@Genesis:29:15 @ Then Laban said to Jacob, "Because you are my kinsman, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what shall your wages be?"

rsv@Genesis:29:16 @ Now Laban had two daughters; the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.

rsv@Genesis:29:25 @ And in the morning, behold, it was Leah; and Jacob said to Laban, "What is this you have done to me? Did I not serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?"

rsv@Genesis:29:26 @ Laban said, "It is not so done in our country, to give the younger before the first-born.

rsv@Genesis:29:27 @ Complete the week of this one, and we will give you the other also in return for serving me another seven years."

rsv@Genesis:29:30 @ So Jacob went in to Rachel also, and he loved Rachel more than Leah, and served Laban for another seven years.

rsv@Genesis:29:32 @ And Leah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben; for she said, "Because the LORD has looked upon my affliction; surely now my husband will love me."

rsv@Genesis:29:34 @ Again she conceived and bore a son, and said, "Now this time my husband will be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons"; therefore his name was called Levi.

rsv@Genesis:30:1 @ When Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, she envied her sister; and she said to Jacob, "Give me children, or I shall die!"

rsv@Genesis:30:20 @ Then Leah said, "God has endowed me with a good dowry; now my husband will honor me, because I have borne him six sons"; so she called his name Zeb'ulun.

rsv@Genesis:30:24 @ and she called his name Joseph, saying, "May the LORD add to me another son!"

rsv@Genesis:30:26 @ Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me go; for you know the service which I have given you."

rsv@Genesis:30:29 @ Jacob said to him, "You yourself know how I have served you, and how your cattle have fared with me.

rsv@Genesis:30:30 @ For you had little before I came, and it has increased abundantly; and the LORD has blessed you wherever I turned. But now when shall I provide for my own household also?"

rsv@Genesis:30:31 @ He said, "What shall I give you?" Jacob said, "You shall not give me anything; if you will do this for me, I will again feed your flock and keep it:

rsv@Genesis:30:33 @ So my honesty will answer for me later, when you come to look into my wages with you. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats and black among the lambs, if found with me, shall be counted stolen."

rsv@Genesis:30:40 @ And Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the striped and all the black in the flock of Laban; and he put his own droves apart, and did not put them with Laban's flock.

rsv@Genesis:30:42 @ but for the feebler of the flock he did not lay them there; so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.

rsv@Genesis:31:1 @ Now Jacob heard that the sons of Laban were saying, "Jacob has taken all that was our father's; and from what was our father's he has gained all this wealth."

rsv@Genesis:31:2 @ And Jacob saw that Laban did not regard him with favor as before.

rsv@Genesis:31:5 @ and said to them, "I see that your father does not regard me with favor as he did before. But the God of my father has been with me.

rsv@Genesis:31:6 @ You know that I have served your father with all my strength;

rsv@Genesis:31:7 @ yet your father has cheated me and changed my wages ten times, but God did not permit him to harm me.

rsv@Genesis:31:13 @ I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a pillar and made a vow to me. Now arise, go forth from this land, and return to the land of your birth.'"

rsv@Genesis:31:15 @ Are we not regarded by him as foreigners? For he has sold us, and he has been using up the money given for us.

rsv@Genesis:31:16 @ All the property which God has taken away from our father belongs to us and to our children; now then, whatever God has said to you, do."

rsv@Genesis:31:20 @ And Jacob outwitted Laban the Aramean, in that he did not tell him that he intended to flee.

rsv@Genesis:31:24 @ But God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream by night, and said to him, "Take heed that you say not a word to Jacob, either good or bad."

rsv@Genesis:31:25 @ And Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the hill country, and Laban with his kinsmen encamped in the hill country of Gilead.

rsv@Genesis:31:27 @ Why did you flee secretly, and cheat me, and did not tell me, so that I might have sent you away with mirth and songs, with tambourine and lyre?

rsv@Genesis:31:28 @ And why did you not permit me to kiss my sons and my daughters farewell? Now you have done foolishly.

rsv@Genesis:31:29 @ It is in my power to do you harm; but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, `Take heed that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad.'

rsv@Genesis:31:30 @ And now you have gone away because you longed greatly for your father's house, but why did you steal my gods?"

rsv@Genesis:31:32 @ Any one with whom you find your gods shall not live. In the presence of our kinsmen point out what I have that is yours, and take it." Now Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen them.

rsv@Genesis:31:33 @ So Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the tent of the two maidservants, but he did not find them. And he went out of Leah's tent, and entered Rachel's.

rsv@Genesis:31:34 @ Now Rachel had taken the household gods and put them in the camel's saddle, and sat upon them. Laban felt all about the tent, but did not find them.

rsv@Genesis:31:35 @ And she said to her father, "Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise before you, for the way of women is upon me." So he searched, but did not find the household gods.

rsv@Genesis:31:38 @ These twenty years I have been with you; your ewes and your she-goats have not miscarried, and I have not eaten the rams of your flocks.

rsv@Genesis:31:39 @ That which was torn by wild beasts I did not bring to you; I bore the loss of it myself; of my hand you required it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.

rsv@Genesis:31:42 @ If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had not been on my side, surely now you would have sent me away empty-handed. God saw my affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked you last night."

rsv@Genesis:31:50 @ If you ill-treat my daughters, or if you take wives besides my daughters, although no man is with us, remember, God is witness between you and me."

rsv@Genesis:31:52 @ This heap is a witness, and the pillar is a witness, that I will not pass over this heap to you, and you will not pass over this heap and this pillar to me, for harm.

rsv@Genesis:32:25 @ When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and Jacob's thigh was put out of joint as he wrestled with him.

rsv@Genesis:32:26 @ Then he said, "Let me go, for the day is breaking." But Jacob said, "I will not let you go, unless you bless me."

rsv@Genesis:32:28 @ Then he said, "Your name shall no more be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with men, and have prevailed."

rsv@Genesis:32:32 @ Therefore to this day the Israelites do not eat the sinew of the hip which is upon the hollow of the thigh, because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh on the sinew of the hip.

rsv@Genesis:33:9 @ But Esau said, "I have enough, my brother; keep what you have for yourself."

rsv@Genesis:33:10 @ Jacob said, "No, I pray you, if I have found favor in your sight, then accept my present from my hand; for truly to see your face is like seeing the face of God, with such favor have you received me.

rsv@Genesis:33:11 @ Accept, I pray you, my gift that is brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough." Thus he urged him, and he took it.

rsv@Genesis:33:13 @ But Jacob said to him, "My lord knows that the children are frail, and that the flocks and herds giving suck are a care to me; and if they are overdriven for one day, all the flocks will die.

rsv@Genesis:34:1 @ Now Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the women of the land;

rsv@Genesis:34:5 @ Now Jacob heard that he had defiled his daughter Dinah; but his sons were with his cattle in the field, so Jacob held his peace until they came.

rsv@Genesis:34:7 @ The sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard of it; and the men were indignant and very angry, because he had wrought folly in Israel by lying with Jacob's daughter, for such a thing ought not to be done.

rsv@Genesis:34:14 @ They said to them, "We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised, for that would be a disgrace to us.

rsv@Genesis:34:17 @ But if you will not listen to us and be circumcised, then we will take our daughter, and we will be gone."

rsv@Genesis:34:19 @ And the young man did not delay to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter. Now he was the most honored of all his family.

rsv@Genesis:34:21 @ "These men are friendly with us; let them dwell in the land and trade in it, for behold, the land is large enough for them; let us take their daughters in marriage, and let us give them our daughters.

rsv@Genesis:34:23 @ Will not their cattle, their property and all their beasts be ours? Only let us agree with them, and they will dwell with us."

rsv@Genesis:35:5 @ And as they journeyed, a terror from God fell upon the cities that were round about them, so that they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.

rsv@Genesis:35:10 @ And God said to him, "Your name is Jacob; no longer shall your name be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name." So his name was called Israel.

rsv@Genesis:35:17 @ And when she was in her hard labor, the midwife said to her, "Fear not; for now you will have another son."

rsv@Genesis:35:22 @ While Israel dwelt in that land Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine; and Israel heard of it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.

rsv@Genesis:35:28 @ Now the days of Isaac were a hundred and eighty years.

rsv@Genesis:37:3 @ Now Israel loved Joseph more than any other of his children, because he was the son of his old age; and he made him a long robe with sleeves.

rsv@Genesis:37:4 @ But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him.

rsv@Genesis:37:5 @ Now Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers they only hated him the more.

rsv@Genesis:37:9 @ Then he dreamed another dream, and told it to his brothers, and said, "Behold, I have dreamed another dream; and behold, the sun, the moon, and eleven stars were bowing down to me."

rsv@Genesis:37:12 @ Now his brothers went to pasture their father's flock near Shechem.

rsv@Genesis:37:13 @ And Israel said to Joseph, "Are not your brothers pasturing the flock at Shechem? Come, I will send you to them." And he said to him, "Here I am."

rsv@Genesis:37:14 @ So he said to him, "Go now, see if it is well with your brothers, and with the flock; and bring me word again." So he sent him from the valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.

rsv@Ruth:2:19 @ And her mother-in-law said to her, "Where did you glean today? And where have you worked? Blessed be the man who took notice of you." So she told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, and said, "The man's name with whom I worked today is Bo'az."

rsv@Ruth:2:20 @ And Na'omi said to her daughter-in-law, "Blessed be he by the LORD, whose kindness has not forsaken the living or the dead!" Na'omi also said to her, "The man is a relative of ours, one of our nearest kin."

rsv@Ruth:2:22 @ And Na'omi said to Ruth, her daughter-in-law, "It is well, my daughter, that you go out with his maidens, lest in another field you be molested."

rsv@1Samuel:1:3 @ Now this man used to go up year by year from his city to worship and to sacrifice to the LORD of hosts at Shiloh, where the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phin'ehas, were priests of the LORD.

rsv@1Samuel:1:7 @ So it went on year by year; as often as she went up to the house of the LORD, she used to provoke her. Therefore Hannah wept and would not eat.

rsv@1Samuel:1:8 @ And Elka'nah, her husband, said to her, "Hannah, why do you weep? And why do you not eat? And why is your heart sad? Am I not more to you than ten sons?"

rsv@1Samuel:1:9 @ After they had eaten and drunk in Shiloh, Hannah rose. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the seat beside the doorpost of the temple of the LORD.

rsv@1Samuel:1:11 @ And she vowed a vow and said, "O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thy maidservant, and remember me, and not forget thy maidservant, but wilt give to thy maidservant a son, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life, and no razor shall touch his head."

rsv@1Samuel:1:13 @ Hannah was speaking in her heart; only her lips moved, and her voice was not heard; therefore Eli took her to be a drunken woman.

rsv@1Samuel:1:15 @ But Hannah answered, "No, my lord, I am a woman sorely troubled; I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I have been pouring out my soul before the LORD.

rsv@1Samuel:1:16 @ Do not regard your maidservant as a base woman, for all along I have been speaking out of my great anxiety and vexation."

rsv@1Samuel:1:18 @ And she said, "Let your maidservant find favor in your eyes." Then the woman went her way and ate, and her countenance was no longer sad.

rsv@1Samuel:1:22 @ But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, "As soon as the child is weaned, I will bring him, that he may appear in the presence of the LORD, and abide there for ever."

rsv@1Samuel:2:12 @ Now the sons of Eli were worthless men; they had no regard for the LORD.

rsv@1Samuel:2:15 @ Moreover, before the fat was burned, the priest's servant would come and say to the man who was sacrificing, "Give meat for the priest to roast; for he will not accept boiled meat from you, but raw."

rsv@1Samuel:2:16 @ And if the man said to him, "Let them burn the fat first, and then take as much as you wish," he would say, "No, you must give it now; and if not, I will take it by force."

rsv@1Samuel:2:22 @ Now Eli was very old, and he heard all that his sons were doing to all Israel, and how they lay with the women who served at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

rsv@1Samuel:2:24 @ No, my sons; it is no good report that I hear the people of the LORD spreading abroad.

rsv@1Samuel:2:25 @ If a man sins against a man, God will mediate for him; but if a man sins against the LORD, who can intercede for him?" But they would not listen to the voice of their father; for it was the will of the LORD to slay them.

rsv@1Samuel:9:13 @ As soon as you enter the city, you will find him, before he goes up to the high place to eat; for the people will not eat till he comes, since he must bless the sacrifice; afterward those eat who are invited. Now go up, for you will meet him immediately."

rsv@1Samuel:9:15 @ Now the day before Saul came, the LORD had revealed to Samuel:

rsv@1Samuel:9:16 @ "Tomorrow about this time I will send to you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him to be prince over my people Israel. He shall save my people from the hand of the Philistines; for I have seen the affliction of my people, because their cry has come to me."

rsv@1Samuel:9:20 @ As for your asses that were lost three days ago, do not set your mind on them, for they have been found. And for whom is all that is desirable in Israel? Is it not for you and for all your father's house?"

rsv@1Samuel:9:21 @ Saul answered, "Am I not a Benjaminite, from the least of the tribes of Israel? And is not my family the humblest of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? Why then have you spoken to me in this way?"

rsv@1Samuel:9:27 @ As they were going down to the outskirts of the city, Samuel said to Saul, "Tell the servant to pass on before us, and when he has passed on stop here yourself for a while, that I may make known to you the word of God."

rsv@1Samuel:10:1 @ Then Samuel took a vial of oil and poured it on his head, and kissed him and said, "Has not the LORD anointed you to be prince over his people Israel? And you shall reign over the people of the LORD and you will save them from the hand of their enemies round about. And this shall be the sign to you that the LORD has anointed you to be prince over his heritage.

rsv@1Samuel:10:2 @ When you depart from me today you will meet two men by Rachel's tomb in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah, and they will say to you, `The asses which you went to seek are found, and now your father has ceased to care about the asses and is anxious about you, saying, "What shall I do about my son?"'

rsv@1Samuel:10:3 @ Then you shall go on from there further and come to the oak of Tabor; three men going up to God at Bethel will meet you there, one carrying three kids, another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a skin of wine.

rsv@1Samuel:10:6 @ Then the spirit of the LORD will come mightily upon you, and you shall prophesy with them and be turned into another man.

rsv@1Samuel:10:7 @ Now when these signs meet you, do whatever your hand finds to do, for God is with you.

rsv@1Samuel:10:9 @ When he turned his back to leave Samuel, God gave him another heart; and all these signs came to pass that day.

rsv@1Samuel:10:11 @ And when all who knew him before saw how he prophesied with the prophets, the people said to one another, "What has come over the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?"

rsv@1Samuel:10:14 @ Saul's uncle said to him and to his servant, "Where did you go?" And he said, "To seek the asses; and when we saw they were not to be found, we went to Samuel."

rsv@1Samuel:10:16 @ And Saul said to his uncle, "He told us plainly that the asses had been found." But about the matter of the kingdom, of which Samuel had spoken, he did not tell him anything.

rsv@1Samuel:10:17 @ Now Samuel called the people together to the LORD at Mizpah;

rsv@1Samuel:10:19 @ But you have this day rejected your God, who saves you from all your calamities and your distresses; and you have said, `No! but set a king over us.' Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes and by your thousands."

rsv@1Samuel:10:21 @ He brought the tribe of Benjamin near by its families, and the family of the Matrites was taken by lot; finally he brought the family of the Matrites near man by man, and Saul the son of Kish was taken by lot. But when they sought him, he could not be found.

rsv@1Samuel:10:24 @ And Samuel said to all the people, "Do you see him whom the LORD has chosen? There is none like him among all the people." And all the people shouted, "Long live the king!"

rsv@1Samuel:10:27 @ But some worthless fellows said, "How can this man save us?" And they despised him, and brought him no present. But he held his peace.

rsv@1Samuel:11:3 @ The elders of Jabesh said to him, "Give us seven days respite that we may send messengers through all the territory of Israel. Then, if there is no one to save us, we will give ourselves up to you."

rsv@1Samuel:11:7 @ He took a yoke of oxen, and cut them in pieces and sent them throughout all the territory of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, "Whoever does not come out after Saul and Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen!" Then the dread of the LORD fell upon the people, and they came out as one man.

rsv@1Samuel:11:11 @ And on the morrow Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and cut down the Ammonites until the heat of the day; and those who survived were scattered, so that no two of them were left together.

rsv@1Samuel:11:13 @ But Saul said, "Not a man shall be put to death this day, for today the LORD has wrought deliverance in Israel."

rsv@1Samuel:12:2 @ And now, behold, the king walks before you; and I am old and gray, and behold, my sons are with you; and I have walked before you from my youth until this day.

rsv@1Samuel:12:3 @ Here I am; testify against me before the LORD and before his anointed. Whose ox have I taken? Or whose ass have I taken? Or whom have I defrauded? Whom have I oppressed? Or from whose hand have I taken a bribe to blind my eyes with it? Testify against me and I will restore it to you."

rsv@1Samuel:12:4 @ They said, "You have not defrauded us or oppressed us or taken anything from any man's hand."

rsv@1Samuel:12:5 @ And he said to them, "The LORD is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that you have not found anything in my hand." And they said, "He is witness."

rsv@1Samuel:12:12 @ And when you saw that Nahash the king of the Ammonites came against you, you said to me, `No, but a king shall reign over us,' when the LORD your God was your king.

rsv@1Samuel:12:13 @ And now behold the king whom you have chosen, for whom you have asked; behold, the LORD has set a king over you.

rsv@1Samuel:12:14 @ If you will fear the LORD and serve him and hearken to his voice and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, and if both you and the king who reigns over you will follow the LORD your God, it will be well;

rsv@1Samuel:12:17 @ Is it not wheat harvest today? I will call upon the LORD, that he may send thunder and rain; and you shall know and see that your wickedness is great, which you have done in the sight of the LORD, in asking for yourselves a king."

rsv@1Samuel:12:19 @ And all the people said to Samuel, "Pray for your servants to the LORD your God, that we may not die; for we have added to all our sins this evil, to ask for ourselves a king."

rsv@1Samuel:12:20 @ And Samuel said to the people, "Fear not; you have done all this evil, yet do not turn aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart;

rsv@1Samuel:13:13 @ And Samuel said to Saul, "You have done foolishly; you have not kept the commandment of the LORD your God, which he commanded you; for now the LORD would have established your kingdom over Israel for ever.

rsv@1Samuel:13:14 @ But now your kingdom shall not continue; the LORD has sought out a man after his own heart; and the LORD has appointed him to be prince over his people, because you have not kept what the LORD commanded you."

rsv@1Samuel:13:18 @ another company turned toward Beth-hor'on, and another company turned toward the border that looks down upon the valley of Zebo'im toward the wilderness.

rsv@1Samuel:13:19 @ Now there was no smith to be found throughout all the land of Israel; for the Philistines said, "Lest the Hebrews make themselves swords or spears";

rsv@1Samuel:13:22 @ So on the day of the battle there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people with Saul and Jonathan; but Saul and Jonathan his son had them.

rsv@1Samuel:14:1 @ One day Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man who bore his armor, "Come, let us go over to the Philistine garrison on yonder side." But he did not tell his father.

rsv@1Samuel:14:3 @ and Ahi'jah the son of Ahi'tub, Ich'abod's brother, son of Phin'ehas, son of Eli, the priest of the LORD in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. And the people did not know that Jonathan had gone.

rsv@1Samuel:14:5 @ The one crag rose on the north in front of Michmash, and the other on the south in front of Geba.

rsv@1Samuel:14:6 @ And Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, "Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised; it may be that the LORD will work for us; for nothing can hinder the LORD from saving by many or by few."

rsv@1Samuel:14:9 @ If they say to us, `Wait until we come to you,' then we will stand still in our place, and we will not go up to them.

rsv@1Samuel:14:17 @ Then Saul said to the people who were with him, "Number and see who has gone from us." And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armor-bearer were not there.

rsv@1Samuel:14:21 @ Now the Hebrews who had been with the Philistines before that time and who had gone up with them into the camp, even they also turned to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.

rsv@1Samuel:14:24 @ And the men of Israel were distressed that day; for Saul laid an oath on the people, saying, "Cursed be the man who eats food until it is evening and I am avenged on my enemies." So none of the people tasted food.

rsv@1Samuel:14:26 @ And when the people entered the forest, behold, the honey was dropping, but no man put his hand to his mouth; for the people feared the oath.

rsv@1Samuel:14:27 @ But Jonathan had not heard his father charge the people with the oath; so he put forth the tip of the staff that was in his hand, and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes became bright.

rsv@1Samuel:14:30 @ How much better if the people had eaten freely today of the spoil of their enemies which they found; for now the slaughter among the Philistines has not been great."

rsv@1Samuel:14:34 @ And Saul said, "Disperse yourselves among the people, and say to them, `Let every man bring his ox or his sheep, and slay them here, and eat; and do not sin against the LORD by eating with the blood.'" So every one of the people brought his ox with him that night, and slew them there.

rsv@1Samuel:14:36 @ Then Saul said, "Let us go down after the Philistines by night and despoil them until the morning light; let us not leave a man of them." And they said, "Do whatever seems good to you." But the priest said, "Let us draw near hither to God."

rsv@1Samuel:14:37 @ And Saul inquired of God, "Shall I go down after the Philistines? Wilt thou give them into the hand of Israel?" But he did not answer him that day.

rsv@1Samuel:14:38 @ And Saul said, "Come hither, all you leaders of the people; and know and see how this sin has arisen today.

rsv@1Samuel:14:39 @ For as the LORD lives who saves Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die." But there was not a man among all the people that answered him.

rsv@1Samuel:14:41 @ Therefore Saul said, "O LORD God of Israel, why hast thou not answered thy servant this day? If this guilt is in me or in Jonathan my son, O LORD, God of Israel, give Urim; but if this guilt is in thy people Israel, give Thummim." And Jonathan and Saul were taken, but the people escaped.

rsv@1Samuel:14:45 @ Then the people said to Saul, "Shall Jonathan die, who has wrought this great victory in Israel? Far from it! As the LORD lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he has wrought with God this day." So the people ransomed Jonathan, that he did not die.

rsv@1Samuel:14:49 @ Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, Ishvi, and Mal'chishu'a; and the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the first-born was Merab, and the name of the younger Michal;

rsv@1Samuel:15:1 @ And Samuel said to Saul, "The LORD sent me to anoint you king over his people Israel; now therefore hearken to the words of the LORD.

rsv@1Samuel:15:3 @ Now go and smite Am'alek, and utterly destroy all that they have; do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.'"

rsv@1Samuel:15:9 @ But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep and of the oxen and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them; all that was despised and worthless they utterly destroyed.

rsv@1Samuel:15:11 @ "I repent that I have made Saul king; for he has turned back from following me, and has not performed my commandments." And Samuel was angry; and he cried to the LORD all night.

rsv@1Samuel:15:17 @ And Samuel said, "Though you are little in your own eyes, are you not the head of the tribes of Israel? The LORD anointed you king over Israel.

rsv@1Samuel:15:19 @ Why then did you not obey the voice of the LORD? Why did you swoop on the spoil, and do what was evil in the sight of the LORD?"

rsv@1Samuel:15:25 @ Now therefore, I pray, pardon my sin, and return with me, that I may worship the LORD."

rsv@1Samuel:15:26 @ And Samuel said to Saul, "I will not return with you; for you have rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD has rejected you from being king over Israel."

rsv@1Samuel:15:29 @ And also the Glory of Israel will not lie or repent; for he is not a man, that he should repent."

rsv@1Samuel:15:30 @ Then he said, "I have sinned; yet honor me now before the elders of my people and before Israel, and return with me, that I may worship the LORD your God."

rsv@1Samuel:15:35 @ And Samuel did not see Saul again until the day of his death, but Samuel grieved over Saul. And the LORD repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.

rsv@1Samuel:16:6 @ When they came, he looked on Eli'ab and thought, "Surely the LORD'S anointed is before him."

rsv@1Samuel:16:7 @ But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for the LORD sees not as man sees; man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart."

rsv@1Samuel:16:10 @ And Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, "The LORD has not chosen these."

rsv@1Samuel:16:11 @ And Samuel said to Jesse, "Are all your sons here?" And he said, "There remains yet the youngest, but behold, he is keeping the sheep." And Samuel said to Jesse, "Send and fetch him; for we will not sit down till he comes here."

rsv@1Samuel:16:12 @ And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and had beautiful eyes, and was handsome. And the LORD said, "Arise, anoint him; for this is he."

rsv@1Samuel:16:13 @ Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon David from that day forward. And Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.

rsv@1Samuel:16:14 @ Now the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD tormented him.

rsv@1Samuel:16:15 @ And Saul's servants said to him, "Behold now, an evil spirit from God is tormenting you.

rsv@1Samuel:16:16 @ Let our lord now command your servants, who are before you, to seek out a man who is skilful in playing the lyre; and when the evil spirit from God is upon you, he will play it, and you will be well."

rsv@1Samuel:17:1 @ Now the Philistines gathered their armies for battle; and they were gathered at Socoh, which belongs to Judah, and encamped between Socoh and Aze'kah, in E'phes-dam'mim.

rsv@1Samuel:17:8 @ He stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel, "Why have you come out to draw up for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and are you not servants of Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me.

rsv@1Samuel:17:12 @ Now David was the son of an Eph'rathite of Bethlehem in Judah, named Jesse, who had eight sons. In the days of Saul the man was already old and advanced in years.

rsv@1Samuel:17:19 @ Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.

rsv@1Samuel:17:28 @ Now Eli'ab his eldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eli'ab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, "Why have you come down? And with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your presumption, and the evil of your heart; for you have come down to see the battle."

rsv@1Samuel:17:29 @ And David said, "What have I done now? Was it not but a word?"

rsv@1Samuel:17:30 @ And he turned away from him toward another, and spoke in the same way; and the people answered him again as before.

rsv@1Samuel:17:32 @ And David said to Saul, "Let no man's heart fail because of him; your servant will go and fight with this Philistine."

rsv@1Samuel:17:33 @ And Saul said to David, "You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are but a youth, and he has been a man of war from his youth."

rsv@1Samuel:17:39 @ And David girded his sword over his armor, and he tried in vain to go, for he was not used to them. Then David said to Saul, "I cannot go with these; for I am not used to them." And David put them off.

rsv@1Samuel:17:46 @ This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you down, and cut off your head; and I will give the dead bodies of the host of the Philistines this day to the birds of the air and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel,

rsv@1Samuel:17:47 @ and that all this assembly may know that the LORD saves not with sword and spear; for the battle is the LORD'S and he will give you into our hand."

rsv@1Samuel:18:20 @ Now Saul's daughter Michal loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.

rsv@1Samuel:18:21 @ Saul thought, "Let me give her to him, that she may be a snare for him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him." Therefore Saul said to David a second time, "You shall now be my son-in-law."

rsv@1Samuel:18:25 @ Then Saul said, "Thus shall you say to David, `The king desires no marriage present except a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, that he may be avenged of the king's enemies.'" Now Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.

rsv@1Samuel:19:4 @ And Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father, and said to him, "Let not the king sin against his servant David; because he has not sinned against you, and because his deeds have been of good service to you;

rsv@1Samuel:22:3 @ And David went from there to Mizpeh of Moab; and he said to the king of Moab, "Pray let my father and my mother stay with you, till I know what God will do for me."

rsv@1Samuel:22:5 @ Then the prophet Gad said to David, "Do not remain in the stronghold; depart, and go into the land of Judah." So David departed, and went into the forest of Hereth.

rsv@1Samuel:22:6 @ Now Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men who were with him. Saul was sitting at Gib'e-ah, under the tamarisk tree on the height, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him.

rsv@1Samuel:22:7 @ And Saul said to his servants who stood about him, "Hear now, you Benjaminites; will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards, will he make you all commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds,

rsv@1Samuel:22:8 @ that all of you have conspired against me? No one discloses to me when my son makes a league with the son of Jesse, none of you is sorry for me or discloses to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day."

rsv@1Samuel:22:9 @ Then answered Do'eg the E'domite, who stood by the servants of Saul, "I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahim'elech the son of Ahi'tub,

rsv@1Samuel:22:11 @ Then the king sent to summon Ahim'elech the priest, the son of Ahi'tub, and all his father's house, the priests who were at Nob; and all of them came to the king.

rsv@1Samuel:22:12 @ And Saul said, "Hear now, son of Ahi'tub." And he answered, "Here I am, my lord."

rsv@1Samuel:22:14 @ Then Ahim'elech answered the king, "And who among all your servants is so faithful as David, who is the king's son-in-law, and captain over your bodyguard, and honored in your house?

rsv@1Samuel:22:15 @ Is today the first time that I have inquired of God for him? No! Let not the king impute anything to his servant or to all the house of my father; for your servant has known nothing of all this, much or little."

rsv@1Samuel:22:17 @ And the king said to the guard who stood about him, "Turn and kill the priests of the LORD; because their hand also is with David, and they knew that he fled, and did not disclose it to me." But the servants of the king would not put forth their hand to fall upon the priests of the LORD.

rsv@1Samuel:22:19 @ And Nob, the city of the priests, he put to the sword; both men and women, children and sucklings, oxen, asses and sheep, he put to the sword.

rsv@1Samuel:22:23 @ Stay with me, fear not; for he that seeks my life seeks your life; with me you shall be in safekeeping."

rsv@1Samuel:23:1 @ Now they told David, "Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Kei'lah, and are robbing the threshing floors."

rsv@1Samuel:23:7 @ Now it was told Saul that David had come to Kei'lah. And Saul said, "God has given him into my hand; for he has shut himself in by entering a town that has gates and bars."

rsv@1Samuel:23:14 @ And David remained in the strongholds in the wilderness, in the hill country of the Wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God did not give him into his hand.

rsv@1Samuel:23:17 @ And he said to him, "Fear not; for the hand of Saul my father shall not find you; you shall be king over Israel, and I shall be next to you; Saul my father also knows this."

rsv@1Samuel:23:19 @ Then the Ziphites went up to Saul at Gib'e-ah, saying, "Does not David hide among us in the strongholds at Horesh, on the hill of Hachi'lah, which is south of Jeshi'mon?

rsv@1Samuel:23:20 @ Now come down, O king, according to all your heart's desire to come down; and our part shall be to surrender him into the king's hand."

rsv@1Samuel:23:22 @ Go, make yet more sure; know and see the place where his haunt is, and who has seen him there; for it is told me that he is very cunning.

rsv@1Samuel:23:23 @ See therefore, and take note of all the lurking places where he hides, and come back to me with sure information. Then I will go with you; and if he is in the land, I will search him out among all the thousands of Judah."

rsv@1Samuel:23:24 @ And they arose, and went to Ziph ahead of Saul. Now David and his men were in the wilderness of Ma'on, in the Arabah to the south of Jeshi'mon.

rsv@1Samuel:24:3 @ And he came to the sheepfolds by the way, where there was a cave; and Saul went in to relieve himself. Now David and his men were sitting in the innermost parts of the cave.

rsv@1Samuel:24:6 @ He said to his men, "The LORD forbid that I should do this thing to my lord, the LORD'S anointed, to put forth my hand against him, seeing he is the LORD'S anointed."

rsv@1Samuel:24:7 @ So David persuaded his men with these words, and did not permit them to attack Saul. And Saul rose up and left the cave, and went upon his way.

rsv@1Samuel:24:10 @ Lo, this day your eyes have seen how the LORD gave you today into my hand in the cave; and some bade me kill you, but I spared you. I said, `I will not put forth my hand against my lord; for he is the LORD'S anointed.'

rsv@1Samuel:24:11 @ See, my father, see the skirt of your robe in my hand; for by the fact that I cut off the skirt of your robe, and did not kill you, you may know and see that there is no wrong or treason in my hands. I have not sinned against you, though you hunt my life to take it.

rsv@1Samuel:24:12 @ May the LORD judge between me and you, may the LORD avenge me upon you; but my hand shall not be against you.

rsv@1Samuel:24:13 @ As the proverb of the ancients says, `Out of the wicked comes forth wickedness'; but my hand shall not be against you.

rsv@1Samuel:24:18 @ And you have declared this day how you have dealt well with me, in that you did not kill me when the LORD put me into your hands.

rsv@1Samuel:24:20 @ And now, behold, I know that you shall surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in your hand.

rsv@1Samuel:24:21 @ Swear to me therefore by the LORD that you will not cut off my descendants after me, and that you will not destroy my name out of my father's house."

rsv@1Samuel:25:1 @ Now Samuel died; and all Israel assembled and mourned for him, and they buried him in his house at Ramah. Then David rose and went down to the wilderness of Paran.

rsv@1Samuel:25:3 @ Now the name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Ab'igail. The woman was of good understanding and beautiful, but the man was churlish and ill-behaved; he was a Calebite.

rsv@1Samuel:25:7 @ I hear that you have shearers; now your shepherds have been with us, and we did them no harm, and they missed nothing, all the time they were in Carmel.

rsv@1Samuel:25:10 @ And Nabal answered David's servants, "Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants nowadays who are breaking away from their masters.

rsv@1Samuel:25:11 @ Shall I take my bread and my water and my meat that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men who come from I do not know where?"

rsv@1Samuel:25:15 @ Yet the men were very good to us, and we suffered no harm, and we did not miss anything when we were in the fields, as long as we went with them;

rsv@1Samuel:25:17 @ Now therefore know this and consider what you should do; for evil is determined against our master and against all his house, and he is so ill-natured that one cannot speak to him."

rsv@1Samuel:25:19 @ And she said to her young men, "Go on before me; behold, I come after you." But she did not tell her husband Nabal.

rsv@1Samuel:25:21 @ Now David had said, "Surely in vain have I guarded all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that belonged to him; and he has returned me evil for good.

rsv@1Samuel:25:25 @ Let not my lord regard this ill-natured fellow, Nabal; for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him; but I your handmaid did not see the young men of my lord, whom you sent.

rsv@1Samuel:25:26 @ Now then, my lord, as the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, seeing the LORD has restrained you from bloodguilt, and from taking vengeance with your own hand, now then let your enemies and those who seek to do evil to my lord be as Nabal.

rsv@1Samuel:25:27 @ And now let this present which your servant has brought to my lord be given to the young men who follow my lord.

rsv@1Samuel:25:28 @ Pray forgive the trespass of your handmaid; for the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord is fighting the battles of the LORD; and evil shall not be found in you so long as you live.

rsv@1Samuel:25:31 @ my lord shall have no cause of grief, or pangs of conscience, for having shed blood without cause or for my lord taking vengeance himself. And when the LORD has dealt well with my lord, then remember your handmaid."

rsv@1Samuel:25:34 @ For as surely as the LORD the God of Israel lives, who has restrained me from hurting you, unless you had made haste and come to meet me, truly by morning there had not been left to Nabal so much as one male."

rsv@1Samuel:25:36 @ And Ab'igail came to Nabal; and, lo, he was holding a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. And Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk; so she told him nothing at all until the morning light.

rsv@1Samuel:26:1 @ Then the Ziphites came to Saul at Gib'e-ah, saying, "Is not David hiding himself on the hill of Hachi'lah, which is on the east of Jeshi'mon?"

rsv@1Samuel:26:8 @ Then said Abi'shai to David, "God has given your enemy into your hand this day; now therefore let me pin him to the earth with one stroke of the spear, and I will not strike him twice."

rsv@1Samuel:26:9 @ But David said to Abi'shai, "Do not destroy him; for who can put forth his hand against the LORD'S anointed, and be guiltless?"

rsv@1Samuel:26:11 @ The LORD forbid that I should put forth my hand against the LORD'S anointed; but take now the spear that is at his head, and the jar of water, and let us go."

rsv@1Samuel:26:12 @ So David took the spear and the jar of water from Saul's head; and they went away. No man saw it, or knew it, nor did any awake; for they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from the LORD had fallen upon them.

rsv@1Samuel:26:14 @ and David called to the army, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, "Will you not answer, Abner?" Then Abner answered, "Who are you that calls to the king?"

rsv@1Samuel:26:15 @ And David said to Abner, "Are you not a man? Who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not kept watch over your lord the king? For one of the people came in to destroy the king your lord.

rsv@1Samuel:26:16 @ This thing that you have done is not good. As the LORD lives, you deserve to die, because you have not kept watch over your lord, the LORD'S anointed. And now see where the king's spear is, and the jar of water that was at his head."

rsv@1Samuel:26:19 @ Now therefore let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it is the LORD who has stirred you up against me, may he accept an offering; but if it is men, may they be cursed before the LORD, for they have driven me out this day that I should have no share in the heritage of the LORD, saying, `Go, serve other gods.'

rsv@1Samuel:26:20 @ Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of the LORD; for the king of Israel has come out to seek my life, like one who hunts a partridge in the mountains."

rsv@1Samuel:26:21 @ Then Saul said, "I have done wrong; return, my son David, for I will no more do you harm, because my life was precious in your eyes this day; behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly."

rsv@1Samuel:26:23 @ The LORD rewards every man for his righteousness and his faithfulness; for the LORD gave you into my hand today, and I would not put forth my hand against the LORD'S anointed.

rsv@1Samuel:27:1 @ And David said in his heart, "I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul; there is nothing better for me than that I should escape to the land of the Philistines; then Saul will despair of seeking me any longer within the borders of Israel, and I shall escape out of his hand."

rsv@1Samuel:27:4 @ And when it was told Saul that David had fled to Gath, he sought for him no more.

rsv@1Samuel:27:8 @ Now David and his men went up, and made raids upon the Gesh'urites, the Gir'zites, and the Amal'ekites; for these were the inhabitants of the land from of old, as far as Shur, to the land of Egypt.

rsv@1Samuel:27:9 @ And David smote the land, and left neither man nor woman alive, but took away the sheep, the oxen, the asses, the camels, and the garments, and came back to A'chish.

rsv@1Samuel:27:11 @ And David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring tidings to Gath, thinking, "Lest they should tell about us, and say, `So David has done.'" Such was his custom all the while he dwelt in the country of the Philistines.

rsv@1Samuel:28:2 @ David said to A'chish, "Very well, you shall know what your servant can do." And A'chish said to David, "Very well, I will make you my bodyguard for life."

rsv@1Samuel:28:3 @ Now Samuel had died, and all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in Ramah, his own city. And Saul had put the mediums and the wizards out of the land.

rsv@1Samuel:28:6 @ And when Saul inquired of the LORD, the LORD did not answer him, either by dreams, or by Urim, or by prophets.

rsv@1Samuel:28:9 @ The woman said to him, "Surely you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off the mediums and the wizards from the land. Why then are you laying a snare for my life to bring about my death?"

rsv@1Samuel:28:10 @ But Saul swore to her by the LORD, "As the LORD lives, no punishment shall come upon you for this thing."

rsv@1Samuel:28:13 @ The king said to her, "Have no fear; what do you see?" And the woman said to Saul, "I see a god coming up out of the earth."

rsv@1Samuel:28:15 @ Then Samuel said to Saul, "Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?" Saul answered, "I am in great distress; for the Philistines are warring against me, and God has turned away from me and answers me no more, either by prophets or by dreams; therefore I have summoned you to tell me what I shall do."

rsv@1Samuel:28:18 @ Because you did not obey the voice of the LORD, and did not carry out his fierce wrath against Am'alek, therefore the LORD has done this thing to you this day.

rsv@1Samuel:28:20 @ Then Saul fell at once full length upon the ground, filled with fear because of the words of Samuel; and there was no strength in him, for he had eaten nothing all day and all night.

rsv@1Samuel:28:22 @ Now therefore, you also hearken to your handmaid; let me set a morsel of bread before you; and eat, that you may have strength when you go on your way."

rsv@1Samuel:28:23 @ He refused, and said, "I will not eat." But his servants, together with the woman, urged him; and he hearkened to their words. So he arose from the earth, and sat upon the bed.

rsv@1Samuel:28:24 @ Now the woman had a fatted calf in the house, and she quickly killed it, and she took flour, and kneaded it and baked unleavened bread of it,

rsv@1Samuel:29:1 @ Now the Philistines gathered all their forces at Aphek; and the Israelites were encamped by the fountain which is in Jezreel.

rsv@1Samuel:29:3 @ the commanders of the Philistines said, "What are these Hebrews doing here?"

rsv@1Samuel:29:4 @ But the commanders of the Philistines were angry with him; and the commanders of the Philistines said to him, "Send the man back, that he may return to the place to which you have assigned him; he shall not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he become an adversary to us. For how could this fellow reconcile himself to his lord? Would it not be with the heads of the men here?

rsv@1Samuel:29:5 @ Is not this David, of whom they sing to one another in dances, `Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands'?"

rsv@1Samuel:29:6 @ Then A'chish called David and said to him, "As the LORD lives, you have been honest, and to me it seems right that you should march out and in with me in the campaign; for I have found nothing wrong in you from the day of your coming to me to this day.

rsv@1Samuel:29:7 @ So go back now; and go peaceably, that you may not displease the lords of the Philistines."

rsv@1Samuel:30:12 @ and they gave him a piece of a cake of figs and two clusters of raisins. And when he had eaten, his spirit revived; for he had not eaten bread or drunk water for three days and three nights.

rsv@2Samuel:1:5 @ Then David said to the young man who told him, "How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?"

rsv@2Samuel:1:10 @ So I stood beside him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after he had fallen; and I took the crown which was on his head and the armlet which was on his arm, and I have brought them here to my lord."

rsv@2Samuel:7:21 @ Because of thy promise, and according to thy own heart, thou hast wrought all this greatness, to make thy servant know it.

rsv@2Samuel:14:25 @ Now in all Israel there was no one so much to be praised for his beauty as Ab'salom; from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.

rsv@2Samuel:14:29 @ Then Ab'salom sent for Jo'ab, to send him to the king; but Jo'ab would not come to him. And he sent a second time, but Jo'ab would not come.

rsv@2Samuel:18:3 @ But the men said, "You shall not go out. For if we flee, they will not care about us. If half of us die, they will not care about us. But you are worth ten thousand of us; therefore it is better that you send us help from the city."

rsv@2Samuel:20:6 @ And David said to Abi'shai, "Now Sheba the son of Bichri will do us more harm than Ab'salom; take your lord's servants and pursue him, lest he get himself fortified cities, and cause us trouble."

rsv@2Samuel:24:24 @ But the king said to Arau'nah, "No, but I will buy it of you for a price; I will not offer burnt offerings to the LORD my God which cost me nothing." So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

rsv@2Chronicles:32:13 @ Do you not know what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of other lands? Were the gods of the nations of those lands at all able to deliver their lands out of my hand?

rsv@2Chronicles:32:15 @ Now therefore do not let Hezeki'ah deceive you or mislead you in this fashion, and do not believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom has been able to deliver his people from my hand or from the hand of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you out of my hand!'"

rsv@2Chronicles:32:17 @ And he wrote letters to cast contempt on the LORD the God of Israel and to speak against him, saying, "Like the gods of the nations of the lands who have not delivered their people from my hands, so the God of Hezeki'ah will not deliver his people from my hand."

rsv@2Chronicles:32:25 @ But Hezeki'ah did not make return according to the benefit done to him, for his heart was proud. Therefore wrath came upon him and Judah and Jerusalem.

rsv@2Chronicles:32:26 @ But Hezeki'ah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the LORD did not come upon them in the days of Hezeki'ah.

rsv@2Chronicles:32:27 @ And Hezeki'ah had very great riches and honor; and he made for himself treasuries for silver, for gold, for precious stones, for spices, for shields, and for all kinds of costly vessels;

rsv@2Chronicles:32:31 @ And so in the matter of the envoys of the princes of Babylon, who had been sent to him to inquire about the sign that had been done in the land, God left him to himself, in order to try him and to know all that was in his heart.

rsv@2Chronicles:32:32 @ Now the rest of the acts of Hezeki'ah, and his good deeds, behold, they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz, in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.

rsv@2Chronicles:32:33 @ And Hezeki'ah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the ascent of the tombs of the sons of David; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honor at his death. And Manas'seh his son reigned in his stead.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:6 @ And he burned his sons as an offering in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and practiced soothsaying and augury and sorcery, and dealt with mediums and with wizards. He did much evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking him to anger.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:8 @ and I will no more remove the foot of Israel from the land which I appointed for your fathers, if only they will be careful to do all that I have commanded them, all the law, the statutes, and the ordinances given through Moses."

rsv@2Chronicles:33:10 @ The LORD spoke to Manas'seh and to his people, but they gave no heed.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:18 @ Now the rest of the acts of Manas'seh, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of the LORD the God of Israel, behold, they are in the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:23 @ And he did not humble himself before the LORD, as Manas'seh his father had humbled himself, but this Amon incurred guilt more and more.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:2 @ He did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, and walked in the ways of David his father; and he did not turn aside to the right or to the left.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:8 @ Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azali'ah, and Ma-asei'ah the governor of the city, and Jo'ah the son of Jo'ahaz, the recorder, to repair the house of the LORD his God.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:21 @ "Go, inquire of the LORD for me and for those who are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that has been found; for great is the wrath of the LORD that is poured out on us, because our fathers have not kept the word of the LORD, to do according to all that is written in this book."

rsv@2Chronicles:34:22 @ So Hilki'ah and those whom the king had sent went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tokhath, son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the Second Quarter) and spoke to her to that effect.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:25 @ Because they have forsaken me and have burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands, therefore my wrath will be poured out upon this place and will not be quenched.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:28 @ Behold, I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace, and your eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring upon this place and its inhabitants.'" And they brought back word to the king.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:33 @ And Josi'ah took away all the abominations from all the territory that belonged to the people of Israel, and made all who were in Israel serve the LORD their God. All his days they did not turn away from following the LORD the God of their fathers.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:3 @ And he said to the Levites who taught all Israel and who were holy to the LORD, "Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David, king of Israel, built; you need no longer carry it upon your shoulders. Now serve the LORD your God and his people Israel.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:15 @ The singers, the sons of Asaph, were in their place according to the command of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jedu'thun the king's seer; and the gatekeepers were at each gate; they did not need to depart from their service, for their brethren the Levites prepared for them.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:18 @ No passover like it had been kept in Israel since the days of Samuel the prophet; none of the kings of Israel had kept such a passover as was kept by Josi'ah, and the priests and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel who were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:21 @ But he sent envoys to him, saying, "What have we to do with each other, king of Judah? I am not coming against you this day, but against the house with which I am at war; and God has commanded me to make haste. Cease opposing God, who is with me, lest he destroy you."

rsv@2Chronicles:35:22 @ Nevertheless Josi'ah would not turn away from him, but disguised himself in order to fight with him. He did not listen to the words of Neco from the mouth of God, but joined battle in the plain of Megid'do.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:26 @ Now the rest of the acts of Josi'ah, and his good deeds according to what is written in the law of the LORD,

rsv@2Chronicles:36:8 @ Now the rest of the acts of Jehoi'akim, and the abominations which he did, and what was found against him, behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah; and Jehoi'achin his son reigned in his stead.

rsv@2Chronicles:36:12 @ He did what was evil in the sight of the LORD his God. He did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet, who spoke from the mouth of the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:36:16 @ but they kept mocking the messengers of God, despising his words, and scoffing at his prophets, till the wrath of the LORD rose against his people, till there was no remedy.

rsv@2Chronicles:36:17 @ Therefore he brought up against them the king of the Chalde'ans, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion on young man or virgin, old man or aged; he gave them all into his hand.

rsv@2Chronicles:36:22 @ Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom and also put it in writing:

rsv@Ezra:2:1 @ Now these were the people of the province who came up out of the captivity of those exiles whom Nebuchadnez'zar the king of Babylon had carried captive to Babylonia; they returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each to his own town.

rsv@Ezra:2:59 @ The following were those who came up from Tel-me'lah, Tel-har'sha, Cherub, Addan, and Immer, though they could not prove their fathers' houses or their descent, whether they belonged to Israel:

rsv@Ezra:2:62 @ These sought their registration among those enrolled in the genealogies, but they were not found there, and so they were excluded from the priesthood as unclean;

rsv@Ezra:2:63 @ the governor told them that they were not to partake of the most holy food, until there should be a priest to consult Urim and Thummim.

rsv@Ezra:3:6 @ From the first day of the seventh month they began to offer burnt offerings to the LORD. But the foundation of the temple of the LORD was not yet laid.

rsv@Ezra:3:7 @ So they gave money to the masons and the carpenters, and food, drink, and oil to the Sido'nians and the Tyrians to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea, to Joppa, according to the grant which they had from Cyrus king of Persia.

rsv@Ezra:3:8 @ Now in the second year of their coming to the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, Zerub'babel the son of She-al'ti-el and Jeshua the son of Jo'zadak made a beginning, together with the rest of their brethren, the priests and the Levites and all who had come to Jerusalem from the captivity. They appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to have the oversight of the work of the house of the LORD.

rsv@Ezra:3:13 @ so that the people could not distinguish the sound of the joyful shout from the sound of the people's weeping, for the people shouted with a great shout, and the sound was heard afar.

rsv@Ezra:4:3 @ But Zerub'babel, Jeshua, and the rest of the heads of fathers' houses in Israel said to them, "You have nothing to do with us in building a house to our God; but we alone will build to the LORD, the God of Israel, as King Cyrus the king of Persia has commanded us."

rsv@Ezra:4:13 @ Now be it known to the king that, if this city is rebuilt and the walls finished, they will not pay tribute, custom, or toll, and the royal revenue will be impaired.

rsv@Ezra:4:14 @ Now because we eat the salt of the palace and it is not fitting for us to witness the king's dishonor, therefore we send and inform the king,

rsv@Ezra:4:16 @ We make known to the king that, if this city is rebuilt and its walls finished, you will then have no possession in the province Beyond the River."

rsv@Ezra:4:22 @ And take care not to be slack in this matter; why should damage grow to the hurt of the king?"

rsv@Ezra:5:1 @ Now the prophets, Haggai and Zechari'ah the son of Iddo, prophesied to the Jews who were in Judah and Jerusalem, in the name of the God of Israel who was over them.

rsv@Ezra:5:3 @ At the same time Tat'tenai the governor of the province Beyond the River and She'thar-boz'enai and their associates came to them and spoke to them thus, "Who gave you a decree to build this house and to finish this structure?"

rsv@Ezra:5:5 @ But the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, and they did not stop them till a report should reach Darius and then answer be returned by letter concerning it.

rsv@Ezra:5:6 @ The copy of the letter which Tat'tenai the governor of the province Beyond the River and She'thar-boz'enai and his associates the governors who were in the province Beyond the River sent to Darius the king;

rsv@Ezra:5:8 @ Be it known to the king that we went to the province of Judah, to the house of the great God. It is being built with huge stones, and timber is laid in the walls; this work goes on diligently and prospers in their hands.

rsv@Ezra:5:14 @ And the gold and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnez'zar had taken out of the temple that was in Jerusalem and brought into the temple of Babylon, these Cyrus the king took out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered to one whose name was Shesh-baz'zar, whom he had made governor;

rsv@Ezra:5:16 @ Then this Shesh-baz'zar came and laid the foundations of the house of God which is in Jerusalem; and from that time until now it has been in building, and it is not yet finished.'

rsv@Ezra:6:13 @ Then, according to the word sent by Darius the king, Tat'tenai, the governor of the province Beyond the River, She'thar-boz'enai, and their associates did with all diligence what Darius the king had ordered.

rsv@Ezra:7:25 @ "And you, Ezra, according to the wisdom of your God which is in your hand, appoint magistrates and judges who may judge all the people in the province Beyond the River, all such as know the laws of your God; and those who do not know them, you shall teach.

rsv@Ezra:7:26 @ Whoever will not obey the law of your God and the law of the king, let judgment be strictly executed upon him, whether for death or for banishment or for confiscation of his goods or for imprisonment."

rsv@Ezra:8:15 @ I gathered them to the river that runs to Aha'va, and there we encamped three days. As I reviewed the people and the priests, I found there none of the sons of Levi.

rsv@Ezra:8:33 @ On the fourth day, within the house of our God, the silver and the gold and the vessels were weighed into the hands of Mer'emoth the priest, son of Uri'ah, and with him was Elea'zar the son of Phin'ehas, and with them were the Levites, Jo'zabad the son of Jeshua and No-adi'ah the son of Bin'nui.

rsv@Ezra:8:36 @ They also delivered the king's commissions to the king's satraps and to the governors of the province Beyond the River; and they aided the people and the house of God.

rsv@Ezra:9:1 @ After these things had been done, the officials approached me and said, "The people of Israel and the priests and the Levites have not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands with their abominations, from the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Per'izzites, the Jeb'usites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.

rsv@Ezra:9:8 @ But now for a brief moment favor has been shown by the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant, and to give us a secure hold within his holy place, that our God may brighten our eyes and grant us a little reviving in our bondage.

rsv@Ezra:9:9 @ For we are bondmen; yet our God has not forsaken us in our bondage, but has extended to us his steadfast love before the kings of Persia, to grant us some reviving to set up the house of our God, to repair its ruins, and to give us protection in Judea and Jerusalem.

rsv@Ezra:9:15 @ O LORD the God of Israel, thou art just, for we are left a remnant that has escaped, as at this day. Behold, we are before thee in our guilt, for none can stand before thee because of this."

rsv@Ezra:10:2 @ And Shecani'ah the son of Jehi'el, of the sons of Elam, addressed Ezra: "We have broken faith with our God and have married foreign women from the peoples of the land, but even now there is hope for Israel in spite of this.

rsv@Ezra:10:6 @ Then Ezra withdrew from before the house of God, and went to the chamber of Jehoha'nan the son of Eli'ashib, where he spent the night, neither eating bread nor drinking water; for he was mourning over the faithlessness of the exiles.

rsv@Ezra:10:8 @ and that if any one did not come within three days, by order of the officials and the elders all his property should be forfeited, and he himself banned from the congregation of the exiles.

rsv@Ezra:10:11 @ Now then make confession to the LORD the God of your fathers, and do his will; separate yourselves from the peoples of the land and from the foreign wives."

rsv@Ezra:10:13 @ But the people are many, and it is a time of heavy rain; we cannot stand in the open. Nor is this a work for one day or for two; for we have greatly transgressed in this matter.

rsv@Nehemiah:1:1 @ The words of Nehemi'ah the son of Hacali'ah. Now it happened in the month of Chislev, in the twentieth year, as I was in Susa the capital,

rsv@Nehemiah:1:6 @ let thy ear be attentive, and thy eyes open, to hear the prayer of thy servant which I now pray before thee day and night for the people of Israel thy servants, confessing the sins of the people of Israel, which we have sinned against thee.

rsv@Nehemiah:1:7 @ We have acted very corruptly against thee, and have not kept the commandments, the statutes, and the ordinances which thou didst command thy servant Moses.

rsv@Nehemiah:1:11 @ O Lord, let thy ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants who delight to fear thy name; and give success to thy servant today, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man." Now I was cupbearer to the king.

rsv@Nehemiah:2:1 @ In the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of King Ar-ta-xerx'es, when wine was before him, I took up the wine and gave it to the king. Now I had not been sad in his presence.

rsv@Nehemiah:2:2 @ And the king said to me, "Why is your face sad, seeing you are not sick? This is nothing else but sadness of the heart." Then I was very much afraid.

rsv@Nehemiah:2:3 @ I said to the king, "Let the king live for ever! Why should not my face be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers' sepulchres, lies waste, and its gates have been destroyed by fire?"

rsv@Nehemiah:2:7 @ And I said to the king, "If it pleases the king, let letters be given me to the governors of the province Beyond the River, that they may let me pass through until I come to Judah;

rsv@Nehemiah:2:9 @ Then I came to the governors of the province Beyond the River, and gave them the king's letters. Now the king had sent with me officers of the army and horsemen.

rsv@Nehemiah:2:12 @ Then I arose in the night, I and a few men with me; and I told no one what my God had put into my heart to do for Jerusalem. There was no beast with me but the beast on which I rode.

rsv@Nehemiah:2:14 @ Then I went on to the Fountain Gate and to the King's Pool; but there was no place for the beast that was under me to pass.

rsv@Nehemiah:2:16 @ And the officials did not know where I had gone or what I was doing; and I had not yet told the Jews, the priests, the nobles, the officials, and the rest that were to do the work.

rsv@Nehemiah:2:17 @ Then I said to them, "You see the trouble we are in, how Jerusalem lies in ruins with its gates burned. Come, let us build the wall of Jerusalem, that we may no longer suffer disgrace."

rsv@Nehemiah:2:20 @ Then I replied to them, "The God of heaven will make us prosper, and we his servants will arise and build; but you have no portion or right or memorial in Jerusalem."

rsv@Nehemiah:3:19 @ next to him Ezer the son of Jeshua, ruler of Mizpah, repaired another section opposite the ascent to the armory at the Angle.

rsv@Nehemiah:3:20 @ After him Baruch the son of Zab'bai repaired another section from the Angle to the door of the house of Eli'ashib the high priest.

rsv@Nehemiah:3:21 @ After him Mer'emoth the son of Uri'ah, son of Hakkoz repaired another section from the door of the house of Eli'ashib to the end of the house of Eli'ashib.

rsv@Nehemiah:3:24 @ After him Bin'nui the son of Hen'adad repaired another section, from the house of Azari'ah to the Angle

rsv@Nehemiah:3:27 @ After him the Teko'ites repaired another section opposite the great projecting tower as far as the wall of Ophel.

rsv@Nehemiah:3:30 @ After him Hanani'ah the son of Shelemi'ah and Hanun the sixth son of Zalaph repaired another section. After him Meshul'lam the son of Berechi'ah repaired opposite his chamber.

rsv@Nehemiah:4:1 @ Now when Sanbal'lat heard that we were building the wall, he was angry and greatly enraged, and he ridiculed the Jews.

rsv@Nehemiah:4:5 @ Do not cover their guilt, and let not their sin be blotted out from thy sight; for they have provoked thee to anger before the builders.

rsv@Nehemiah:4:10 @ But Judah said, "The strength of the burden-bearers is failing, and there is much rubbish; we are not able to work on the wall."

rsv@Nehemiah:4:11 @ And our enemies said, "They will not know or see till we come into the midst of them and kill them and stop the work."

rsv@Nehemiah:4:14 @ And I looked, and arose, and said to the nobles and to the officials and to the rest of the people, "Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your homes."

rsv@Nehemiah:4:15 @ When our enemies heard that it was known to us and that God had frustrated their plan, we all returned to the wall, each to his work.

rsv@Nehemiah:4:19 @ And I said to the nobles and to the officials and to the rest of the people, "The work is great and widely spread, and we are separated on the wall, far from one another.

rsv@Nehemiah:4:23 @ So neither I nor my brethren nor my servants nor the men of the guard who followed me, none of us took off our clothes; each kept his weapon in his hand.

rsv@Nehemiah:5:1 @ Now there arose a great outcry of the people and of their wives against their Jewish brethren.

rsv@Nehemiah:5:5 @ Now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children are as their children; yet we are forcing our sons and our daughters to be slaves, and some of our daughters have already been enslaved; but it is not in our power to help it, for other men have our fields and our vineyards."

rsv@Nehemiah:5:7 @ I took counsel with myself, and I brought charges against the nobles and the officials. I said to them, "You are exacting interest, each from his brother." And I held a great assembly against them,

rsv@Nehemiah:5:8 @ and said to them, "We, as far as we are able, have bought back our Jewish brethren who have been sold to the nations; but you even sell your brethren that they may be sold to us!" They were silent, and could not find a word to say.

rsv@Nehemiah:5:9 @ So I said, "The thing that you are doing is not good. Ought you not to walk in the fear of our God to prevent the taunts of the nations our enemies?

rsv@Nehemiah:5:12 @ Then they said, "We will restore these and require nothing from them. We will do as you say." And I called the priests, and took an oath of them to do as they had promised.

rsv@Nehemiah:5:13 @ I also shook out my lap and said, "So may God shake out every man from his house and from his labor who does not perform this promise. So may he be shaken out and emptied." And all the assembly said "Amen" and praised the LORD. And the people did as they had promised.

rsv@Nehemiah:5:14 @ Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year to the thirty-second year of Ar-ta-xerx'es the king, twelve years, neither I nor my brethren ate the food allowance of the governor.

rsv@Nehemiah:5:15 @ The former governors who were before me laid heavy burdens upon the people, and took from them food and wine, besides forty shekels of silver. Even their servants lorded it over the people. But I did not do so, because of the fear of God.

rsv@Nehemiah:5:16 @ I also held to the work on this wall, and acquired no land; and all my servants were gathered there for the work.

rsv@Nehemiah:5:18 @ Now that which was prepared for one day was one ox and six choice sheep; fowls likewise were prepared for me, and every ten days skins of wine in abundance; yet with all this I did not demand the food allowance of the governor, because the servitude was heavy upon this people.

rsv@Nehemiah:6:1 @ Now when it was reported to Sanbal'lat and Tobi'ah and to Geshem the Arab and to the rest of our enemies that I had built the wall and that there was no breach left in it (although up to that time I had not set up the doors in the gates),

rsv@Nehemiah:6:2 @ Sanbal'lat and Geshem sent to me, saying, "Come and let us meet together in one of the villages in the plain of Ono." But they intended to do me harm.

rsv@Nehemiah:6:3 @ And I sent messengers to them, saying, "I am doing a great work and I cannot come down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and come down to you?"

rsv@Nehemiah:6:7 @ And you have also set up prophets to proclaim concerning you in Jerusalem, `There is a king in Judah.' And now it will be reported to the king according to these words. So now come, and let us take counsel together."

rsv@Nehemiah:6:8 @ Then I sent to him, saying, "No such things as you say have been done, for you are inventing them out of your own mind."

rsv@Nehemiah:6:9 @ For they all wanted to frighten us, thinking, "Their hands will drop from the work, and it will not be done." But now, O God, strengthen thou my hands.

rsv@Nehemiah:6:10 @ Now when I went into the house of Shemai'ah the son of Delai'ah, son of Mehet'abel, who was shut up, he said, "Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us close the doors of the temple; for they are coming to kill you, at night they are coming to kill you."

rsv@Nehemiah:6:11 @ But I said, "Should such a man as I flee? And what man such as I could go into the temple and live? I will not go in."

rsv@Nehemiah:6:12 @ And I understood, and saw that God had not sent him, but he had pronounced the prophecy against me because Tobi'ah and Sanbal'lat had hired him.

rsv@Nehemiah:6:14 @ Remember Tobi'ah and Sanbal'lat, O my God, according to these things that they did, and also the prophetess No-adi'ah and the rest of the prophets who wanted to make me afraid.

rsv@Nehemiah:6:17 @ Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters to Tobi'ah, and Tobi'ah's letters came to them.

rsv@Nehemiah:7:1 @ Now when the wall had been built and I had set up the doors, and the gatekeepers, the singers, and the Levites had been appointed,

rsv@Nehemiah:7:2 @ I gave my brother Hana'ni and Hanani'ah the governor of the castle charge over Jerusalem, for he was a more faithful and God-fearing man than many.

rsv@Nehemiah:7:4 @ The city was wide and large, but the people within it were few and no houses had been built.

rsv@Nehemiah:7:5 @ Then God put it into my mind to assemble the nobles and the officials and the people to be enrolled by genealogy. And I found the book of the genealogy of those who came up at the first, and I found written in it:

rsv@Nehemiah:7:65 @ the governor told them that they were not to partake of the most holy food, until a priest with Urim and Thummim should arise.

rsv@Nehemiah:7:70 @ Now some of the heads of fathers' houses gave to the work. The governor gave to the treasury a thousand darics of gold, fifty basins, five hundred and thirty priests' garments.

rsv@Nehemiah:8:9 @ And Nehemi'ah, who was the governor, and Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people said to all the people, "This day is holy to the LORD your God; do not mourn or weep." For all the people wept when they heard the words of the law.

rsv@Nehemiah:8:10 @ Then he said to them, "Go your way, eat the fat and drink sweet wine and send portions to him for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord; and do not be grieved, for the joy of the LORD is your strength."

rsv@Nehemiah:8:17 @ And all the assembly of those who had returned from the captivity made booths and dwelt in the booths; for from the days of Jeshua the son of Nun to that day the people of Israel had not done so. And there was very great rejoicing.

rsv@Nehemiah:9:29 @ And thou didst warn them in order to turn them back to thy law. Yet they acted presumptuously and did not obey thy commandments, but sinned against thy ordinances, by the observance of which a man shall live, and turned a stubborn shoulder and stiffened their neck and would not obey.

rsv@Esther:2:15 @ When the turn came for Esther the daughter of Ab'ihail the uncle of Mor'decai, who had adopted her as his own daughter, to go in to the king, she asked for nothing except what Hegai the king's eunuch, who had charge of the women, advised. Now Esther found favor in the eyes of all who saw her.

rsv@Esther:2:20 @ Now Esther had not made known her kindred or her people, as Mor'decai had charged her; for Esther obeyed Mor'decai just as when she was brought up by him.

rsv@Esther:2:22 @ And this came to the knowledge of Mor'decai, and he told it to Queen Esther, and Esther told the king in the name of Mor'decai.

rsv@Esther:3:2 @ And all the king's servants who were at the king's gate bowed down and did obeisance to Haman; for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mor'decai did not bow down or do obeisance.

rsv@Esther:3:4 @ And when they spoke to him day after day and he would not listen to them, they told Haman, in order to see whether Mor'decai's words would avail; for he had told them that he was a Jew.

rsv@Esther:3:5 @ And when Haman saw that Mor'decai did not bow down or do obeisance to him, Haman was filled with fury.

rsv@Esther:3:6 @ But he disdained to lay hands on Mor'decai alone. So, as they had made known to him the people of Mor'decai, Haman sought to destroy all the Jews, the people of Mor'decai, throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasu-e'rus.

rsv@Esther:3:8 @ Then Haman said to King Ahasu-e'rus, "There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom; their laws are different from those of every other people, and they do not keep the king's laws, so that it is not for the king's profit to tolerate them.

rsv@Esther:4:4 @ When Esther's maids and her eunuchs came and told her, the queen was deeply distressed; she sent garments to clothe Mor'decai, so that he might take off his sackcloth, but he would not accept them.

rsv@Esther:4:11 @ "All the king's servants and the people of the king's provinces know that if any man or woman goes to the king inside the inner court without being called, there is but one law; all alike are to be put to death, except the one to whom the king holds out the golden scepter that he may live. And I have not been called to come in to the king these thirty days."

rsv@Esther:4:13 @ Then Mor'decai told them to return answer to Esther, "Think not that in the king's palace you will escape any more than all the other Jews.

rsv@Esther:4:14 @ For if you keep silence at such a time as this, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another quarter, but you and your father's house will perish. And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"

rsv@Esther:4:16 @ "Go, gather all the Jews to be found in Susa, and hold a fast on my behalf, and neither eat nor drink for three days, night or day. I and my maids will also fast as you do. Then I will go to the king, though it is against the law; and if I perish, I perish."

rsv@Esther:5:9 @ And Haman went out that day joyful and glad of heart. But when Haman saw Mor'decai in the king's gate, that he neither rose nor trembled before him, he was filled with wrath against Mor'decai.

rsv@Esther:5:11 @ And Haman recounted to them the splendor of his riches, the number of his sons, all the promotions with which the king had honored him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and the servants of the king.

rsv@Esther:5:12 @ And Haman added, "Even Queen Esther let no one come with the king to the banquet she prepared but myself. And tomorrow also I am invited by her together with the king.

rsv@Esther:5:13 @ Yet all this does me no good, so long as I see Mor'decai the Jew sitting at the king's gate."

rsv@Esther:6:1 @ On that night the king could not sleep; and he gave orders to bring the book of memorable deeds, the chronicles, and they were read before the king.

rsv@Esther:6:3 @ And the king said, "What honor or dignity has been bestowed on Mor'decai for this?" The king's servants who attended him said, "Nothing has been done for him."

rsv@Esther:6:4 @ And the king said, "Who is in the court?" Now Haman had just entered the outer court of the king's palace to speak to the king about having Mor'decai hanged on the gallows that he had prepared for him.

rsv@Esther:6:6 @ So Haman came in, and the king said to him, "What shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honor?" And Haman said to himself, "Whom would the king delight to honor more than me?"

rsv@Esther:6:10 @ Then the king said to Haman, "Make haste, take the robes and the horse, as you have said, and do so to Mor'decai the Jew who sits at the king's gate. Leave out nothing that you have mentioned."

rsv@Esther:6:11 @ So Haman took the robes and the horse, and he arrayed Mor'decai and made him ride through the open square of the city, proclaiming, "Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor."

rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:22 @ So I saw that there is nothing better than that a man should enjoy his work, for that is his lot; who can bring him to see what will be after him?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:4:1 @ Again I saw all the oppressions that are practiced under the sun. And behold, the tears of the oppressed, and they had no one to comfort them! On the side of their oppressors there was power, and there was no one to comfort them.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:4:3 @ but better than both is he who has not yet been, and has not seen the evil deeds that are done under the sun.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:4:8 @ a person who has no one, either son or brother, yet there is no end to all his toil, and his eyes are never satisfied with riches, so that he never asks, "For whom am I toiling and depriving myself of pleasure?" This also is vanity and an unhappy business.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:4:10 @ For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:4:12 @ And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him. A threefold cord is not quickly broken.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:4:13 @ Better is a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king, who will no longer take advice,

rsv@Ecclesiastes:4:16 @ there was no end of all the people; he was over all of them. Yet those who come later will not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a striving after wind.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:1 @ Guard your steps when you go to the house of God; to draw near to listen is better than to offer the sacrifice of fools; for they do not know that they are doing evil.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:2 @ Be not rash with your mouth, nor let your heart be hasty to utter a word before God, for God is in heaven, and you upon earth; therefore let your words be few.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:4 @ When you vow a vow to God, do not delay paying it; for he has no pleasure in fools. Pay what you vow.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:5 @ It is better that you should not vow than that you should vow and not pay.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:6 @ Let not your mouth lead you into sin, and do not say before the messenger that it was a mistake; why should God be angry at your voice, and destroy the work of your hands?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:8 @ If you see in a province the poor oppressed and justice and right violently taken away, do not be amazed at the matter; for the high official is watched by a higher, and there are yet higher ones over them.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:10 @ He who loves money will not be satisfied with money; nor he who loves wealth, with gain: this also is vanity.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:12 @ Sweet is the sleep of a laborer, whether he eats little or much; but the surfeit of the rich will not let him sleep.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:6:2 @ a man to whom God gives wealth, possessions, and honor, so that he lacks nothing of all that he desires, yet God does not give him power to enjoy them, but a stranger enjoys them; this is vanity; it is a sore affliction.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:6:3 @ If a man begets a hundred children, and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, but he does not enjoy life's good things, and also has no burial, I say that an untimely birth is better off than he.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:6:10 @ Whatever has come to be has already been named, and it is known what man is, and that he is not able to dispute with one stronger than he.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:6:12 @ For who knows what is good for man while he lives the few days of his vain life, which he passes like a shadow? For who can tell man what will be after him under the sun?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:9 @ Be not quick to anger, for anger lodges in the bosom of fools.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:10 @ Say not, "Why were the former days better than these?" For it is not from wisdom that you ask this.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:12 @ For the protection of wisdom is like the protection of money; and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of him who has it.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:14 @ In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider; God has made the one as well as the other, so that man may not find out anything that will be after him.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:17 @ Be not wicked overmuch, neither be a fool; why should you die before your time?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:18 @ It is good that you should take hold of this, and from that withhold not your hand; for he who fears God shall come forth from them all.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:20 @ Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:21 @ Do not give heed to all the things that men say, lest you hear your servant cursing you;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:22 @ your heart knows that many times you have yourself cursed others.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:25 @ I turned my mind to know and to search out and to seek wisdom and the sum of things, and to know the wickedness of folly and the foolishness which is madness.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:27 @ Behold, this is what I found, says the Preacher, adding one thing to another to find the sum,

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:28 @ which my mind has sought repeatedly, but I have not found. One man among a thousand I found, but a woman among all these I have not found.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:1 @ Who is like the wise man? And who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man's wisdom makes his face shine, and the hardness of his countenance is changed.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:3 @ go from his presence, do not delay when the matter is unpleasant, for he does whatever he pleases.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:5 @ He who obeys a command will meet no harm, and the mind of a wise man will know the time and way.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:7 @ For he does not know what is to be, for who can tell him how it will be?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:8 @ No man has power to retain the spirit, or authority over the day of death; there is no discharge from war, nor will wickedness deliver those who are given to it.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:11 @ Because sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, the heart of the sons of men is fully set to do evil.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:12 @ Though a sinner does evil a hundred times and prolongs his life, yet I know that it will be well with those who fear God, because they fear before him;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:13 @ but it will not be well with the wicked, neither will he prolong his days like a shadow, because he does not fear before God.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:15 @ And I commend enjoyment, for man has no good thing under the sun but to eat and drink, and enjoy himself, for this will go with him in his toil through the days of life which God gives him under the sun.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:16 @ When I applied my mind to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done on earth, how neither day nor night one's eyes see sleep;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:17 @ then I saw all the work of God, that man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun. However much man may toil in seeking, he will not find it out; even though a wise man claims to know, he cannot find it out.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:1 @ But all this I laid to heart, examining it all, how the righteous and the wise and their deeds are in the hand of God; whether it is love or hate man does not know. Everything before them is vanity,

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:2 @ since one fate comes to all, to the righteous and the wicked, to the good and the evil, to the clean and the unclean, to him who sacrifices and him who does not sacrifice. As is the good man, so is the sinner; and he who swears is as he who shuns an oath.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:5 @ For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward; but the memory of them is lost.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:6 @ Their love and their hate and their envy have already perished, and they have no more for ever any share in all that is done under the sun.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:8 @ Let your garments be always white; let not oil be lacking on your head.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:10 @ Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:11 @ Again I saw that under the sun the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the intelligent, nor favor to the men of skill; but time and chance happen to them all.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:12 @ For man does not know his time. Like fish which are taken in an evil net, and like birds which are caught in a snare, so the sons of men are snared at an evil time, when it suddenly falls upon them.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:15 @ But there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city. Yet no one remembered that poor man.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:16 @ But I say that wisdom is better than might, though the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heeded.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:1 @ Dead flies make the perfumer's ointment give off an evil odor; so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:4 @ If the anger of the ruler rises against you, do not leave your place, for deference will make amends for great offenses.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:10 @ If the iron is blunt, and one does not whet the edge, he must put forth more strength; but wisdom helps one to succeed.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:11 @ If the serpent bites before it is charmed, there is no advantage in a charmer.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:14 @ A fool multiplies words, though no man knows what is to be, and who can tell him what will be after him?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:15 @ The toil of a fool wearies him, so that he does not know the way to the city.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:17 @ Happy are you, O land, when your king is the son of free men, and your princes feast at the proper time, for strength, and not for drunkenness!

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:20 @ Even in your thought, do not curse the king, nor in your bedchamber curse the rich; for a bird of the air will carry your voice, or some winged creature tell the matter.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:11:2 @ Give a portion to seven, or even to eight, for you know not what evil may happen on earth.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:11:3 @ If the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves on the earth; and if a tree falls to the south or to the north, in the place where the tree falls, there it will lie.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:11:4 @ He who observes the wind will not sow; and he who regards the clouds will not reap.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:11:5 @ As you do not know how the spirit comes to the bones in the womb of a woman with child, so you do not know the work of God who makes everything.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:11:6 @ In the morning sow your seed, and at evening withhold not your hand; for you do not know which will prosper, this or that, or whether both alike will be good.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:11:9 @ Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth; walk in the ways of your heart and the sight of your eyes. But know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:1 @ Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come, and the years draw nigh, when you will say, "I have no pleasure in them";

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:9 @ Besides being wise, the Preacher also taught the people knowledge, weighing and studying and arranging proverbs with great care.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:12 @ My son, beware of anything beyond these. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

rsv@Songs:1:3 @ your anointing oils are fragrant, your name is oil poured out; therefore the maidens love you.

rsv@Songs:1:6 @ Do not gaze at me because I am swarthy, because the sun has scorched me. My mother's sons were angry with me, they made me keeper of the vineyards; but, my own vineyard I have not kept!

rsv@Songs:1:7 @ Tell me, you whom my soul loves, where you pasture your flock, where you make it lie down at noon; for why should I be like one who wanders beside the flocks of your companions?

rsv@Songs:1:8 @ If you do not know, O fairest among women, follow in the tracks of the flock, and pasture your kids beside the shepherds' tents.

rsv@Songs:2:7 @ I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles or the hinds of the field, that you stir not up nor awaken love until it please.

rsv@Songs:3:5 @ I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles or the hinds of the field, that you stir not up nor awaken love until it please.

rsv@Songs:4:16 @ Awake, O north wind, and come, O south wind! Blow upon my garden, let its fragrance be wafted abroad. Let my beloved come to his garden, and eat its choicest fruits.

rsv@Songs:5:2 @ I slept, but my heart was awake. Hark! my beloved is knocking. "Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my perfect one; for my head is wet with dew, my locks with the drops of the night."

rsv@Songs:5:6 @ I opened to my beloved, but my beloved had turned and gone. My soul failed me when he spoke. I sought him, but found him not; I called him, but he gave no answer.

rsv@Daniel:2:15 @ he said to Ar'i-och, the king's captain, "Why is the decree of the king so severe?" Then Ar'i-och made the matter known to Daniel.

rsv@Daniel:2:17 @ Then Daniel went to his house and made the matter known to Hanani'ah, Mish'a-el, and Azari'ah, his companions,

rsv@Daniel:2:18 @ and told them to seek mercy of the God of heaven concerning this mystery, so that Daniel and his companions might not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

rsv@Daniel:2:21 @ He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding;

rsv@Daniel:2:22 @ he reveals deep and mysterious things; he knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him.

rsv@Daniel:2:23 @ To thee, O God of my fathers, I give thanks and praise, for thou hast given me wisdom and strength, and hast now made known to me what we asked of thee, for thou hast made known to us the king's matter."

rsv@Daniel:2:24 @ Therefore Daniel went in to Ar'i-och, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he went and said thus to him, "Do not destroy the wise men of Babylon; bring me in before the king, and I will show the king the interpretation."

rsv@Daniel:2:25 @ Then Ar'i-och brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus to him: "I have found among the exiles from Judah a man who can make known to the king the interpretation."

rsv@Daniel:2:26 @ The king said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshaz'zar, "Are you able to make known to me the dream that I have seen and its interpretation?"

rsv@Daniel:2:27 @ Daniel answered the king, "No wise men, enchanters, magicians, or astrologers can show to the king the mystery which the king has asked,

rsv@Daniel:2:28 @ but there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, and he has made known to King Nebuchadnez'zar what will be in the latter days. Your dream and the visions of your head as you lay in bed are these:

rsv@Daniel:2:29 @ To you, O king, as you lay in bed came thoughts of what would be hereafter, and he who reveals mysteries made known to you what is to be.

rsv@Daniel:2:30 @ But as for me, not because of any wisdom that I have more than all the living has this mystery been revealed to me, but in order that the interpretation may be made known to the king, and that you may know the thoughts of your mind.

rsv@Daniel:2:34 @ As you looked, a stone was cut out by no human hand, and it smote the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces;

rsv@Daniel:2:35 @ then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold, all together were broken in pieces, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, so that not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.

rsv@Daniel:2:36 @ "This was the dream; now we will tell the king its interpretation.

rsv@Daniel:2:39 @ After you shall arise another kingdom inferior to you, and yet a third kingdom of bronze, which shall rule over all the earth.

rsv@Daniel:2:43 @ As you saw the iron mixed with miry clay, so they will mix with one another in marriage, but they will not hold together, just as iron does not mix with clay.

rsv@Daniel:2:44 @ And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, nor shall its sovereignty be left to another people. It shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and it shall stand for ever;

rsv@Daniel:2:45 @ just as you saw that a stone was cut from a mountain by no human hand, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold. A great God has made known to the king what shall be hereafter. The dream is certain, and its interpretation sure."

rsv@Daniel:2:48 @ Then the king gave Daniel high honors and many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief prefect over all the wise men of Babylon.

rsv@Daniel:3:2 @ Then King Nebuchadnez'zar sent to assemble the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the justices, the magistrates, and all the officials of the provinces to come to the dedication of the image which King Nebuchadnez'zar had set up.

rsv@Daniel:3:3 @ Then the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the justices, the magistrates, and all the officials of the provinces, were assembled for the dedication of the image that King Nebuchadnez'zar had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnez'zar had set up.

rsv@Daniel:3:12 @ There are certain Jews whom you have appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego. These men, O king, pay no heed to you; they do not serve your gods or worship the golden image which you have set up."

rsv@Daniel:3:14 @ Nebuchadnez'zar said to them, "Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the golden image which I have set up?

rsv@Daniel:3:15 @ Now if you are ready when you hear the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, bagpipe, and every kind of music, to fall down and worship the image which I have made, well and good; but if you do not worship, you shall immediately be cast into a burning fiery furnace; and who is the god that will deliver you out of my hands?"

rsv@Daniel:3:16 @ Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego answered the king, "O Nebuchadnez'zar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.

rsv@Daniel:3:18 @ But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image which you have set up."

rsv@Daniel:3:24 @ Then King Nebuchadnez'zar was astonished and rose up in haste. He said to his counselors, "Did we not cast three men bound into the fire?" They answered the king, "True, O king."

rsv@Daniel:3:25 @ He answered, "But I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they are not hurt; and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods."

rsv@Daniel:3:27 @ And the satraps, the prefects, the governors, and the king's counselors gathered together and saw that the fire had not had any power over the bodies of those men; the hair of their heads was not singed, their mantles were not harmed, and no smell of fire had come upon them.

rsv@Daniel:3:28 @ Nebuchadnez'zar said, "Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego, who has sent his angel and delivered his servants, who trusted in him, and set at nought the king's command, and yielded up their bodies rather than serve and worship any god except their own God.

rsv@Daniel:3:29 @ Therefore I make a decree: Any people, nation, or language that speaks anything against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego shall be torn limb from limb, and their houses laid in ruins; for there is no other god who is able to deliver in this way."

rsv@Daniel:4:6 @ Therefore I made a decree that all the wise men of Babylon should be brought before me, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream.

rsv@Daniel:4:7 @ Then the magicians, the enchanters, the Chalde'ans, and the astrologers came in; and I told them the dream, but they could not make known to me its interpretation.

rsv@Daniel:4:9 @ "O Belteshaz'zar, chief of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you and that no mystery is difficult for you, here is the dream which I saw; tell me its interpretation.

rsv@Daniel:4:17 @ The sentence is by the decree of the watchers, the decision by the word of the holy ones, to the end that the living may know that the Most High rules the kingdom of men, and gives it to whom he will, and sets over it the lowliest of men.'

rsv@Daniel:4:18 @ This dream I, King Nebuchadnez'zar, saw. And you, O Belteshaz'zar, declare the interpretation, because all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation, but you are able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in you."

rsv@Daniel:4:19 @ Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshaz'zar, was dismayed for a moment, and his thoughts alarmed him. The king said, "Belteshaz'zar, let not the dream or the interpretation alarm you." Belteshaz'zar answered, "My lord, may the dream be for those who hate you and its interpretation for your enemies!

rsv@Daniel:4:25 @ that you shall be driven from among men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field; you shall be made to eat grass like an ox, and you shall be wet with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over you, till you know that the Most High rules the kingdom of men, and gives it to whom he will.

rsv@Daniel:4:26 @ And as it was commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree, your kingdom shall be sure for you from the time that you know that Heaven rules.

rsv@Daniel:4:30 @ and the king said, "Is not this great Babylon, which I have built by my mighty power as a royal residence and for the glory of my majesty?"

rsv@Daniel:4:34 @ At the end of the days I, Nebuchadnez'zar, lifted my eyes to heaven, and my reason returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and praised and honored him who lives for ever; for his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom endures from generation to generation;

rsv@Daniel:4:35 @ all the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing; and he does according to his will in the host of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand or say to him, "What doest thou?"

rsv@Daniel:4:37 @ Now I, Nebuchadnez'zar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven; for all his works are right and his ways are just; and those who walk in pride he is able to abase.

rsv@Daniel:5:6 @ Then the king's color changed, and his thoughts alarmed him; his limbs gave way, and his knees knocked together.

rsv@Daniel:5:8 @ Then all the king's wise men came in, but they could not read the writing or make known to the king the interpretation.

rsv@Daniel:5:10 @ The queen, because of the words of the king and his lords, came into the banqueting hall; and the queen said, "O king, live for ever! Let not your thoughts alarm you or your color change.

rsv@Daniel:5:12 @ because an excellent spirit, knowledge, and understanding to interpret dreams, explain riddles, and solve problems were found in this Daniel, whom the king named Belteshaz'zar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation."

rsv@Daniel:5:15 @ Now the wise men, the enchanters, have been brought in before me to read this writing and make known to me its interpretation; but they could not show the interpretation of the matter.

rsv@Daniel:5:16 @ But I have heard that you can give interpretations and solve problems. Now if you can read the writing and make known to me its interpretation, you shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about your neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.

rsv@Daniel:5:17 @ Then Daniel answered before the king, "Let your gifts be for yourself, and give your rewards to another; nevertheless I will read the writing to the king and make known to him the interpretation.

rsv@Daniel:5:22 @ And you his son, Belshaz'zar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this,

rsv@Daniel:6:2 @ and over them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one, to whom these satraps should give account, so that the king might suffer no loss.

rsv@Daniel:6:4 @ Then the presidents and the satraps sought to find a ground for complaint against Daniel with regard to the kingdom; but they could find no ground for complaint or any fault, because he was faithful, and no error or fault was found in him.

rsv@Daniel:6:5 @ Then these men said, "We shall not find any ground for complaint against this Daniel unless we find it in connection with the law of his God."

rsv@Daniel:6:7 @ All the presidents of the kingdom, the prefects and the satraps, the counselors and the governors are agreed that the king should establish an ordinance and enforce an interdict, that whoever makes petition to any god or man for thirty days, except to you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions.

rsv@Daniel:6:8 @ Now, O king, establish the interdict and sign the document, so that it cannot be changed, according to the law of the Medes and the Persians, which cannot be revoked."

rsv@Daniel:6:12 @ Then they came near and said before the king, concerning the interdict, "O king! Did you not sign an interdict, that any man who makes petition to any god or man within thirty days except to you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions?" The king answered, "The thing stands fast, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be revoked."

rsv@Daniel:6:13 @ Then they answered before the king, "That Daniel, who is one of the exiles from Judah, pays no heed to you, O king, or the interdict you have signed, but makes his petition three times a day."

rsv@Daniel:6:15 @ Then these men came by agreement to the king, and said to the king, "Know, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians that no interdict or ordinance which the king establishes can be changed."

rsv@Daniel:6:17 @ And a stone was brought and laid upon the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet and with the signet of his lords, that nothing might be changed concerning Daniel.

rsv@Daniel:6:18 @ Then the king went to his palace, and spent the night fasting; no diversions were brought to him, and sleep fled from him.

rsv@Daniel:6:22 @ My God sent his angel and shut the lions' mouths, and they have not hurt me, because I was found blameless before him; and also before you, O king, I have done no wrong."

rsv@Daniel:6:23 @ Then the king was exceedingly glad, and commanded that Daniel be taken up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no kind of hurt was found upon him, because he had trusted in his God.

rsv@Daniel:7:3 @ And four great beasts came up out of the sea, different from one another.

rsv@Daniel:7:5 @ And behold, another beast, a second one, like a bear. It was raised up on one side; it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth; and it was told, `Arise, devour much flesh.'

rsv@Daniel:7:6 @ After this I looked, and lo, another, like a leopard, with four wings of a bird on its back; and the beast had four heads; and dominion was given to it.

rsv@Daniel:7:8 @ I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots; and behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.

rsv@Daniel:7:9 @ As I looked, thrones were placed and one that was ancient of days took his seat; his raiment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames, its wheels were burning fire.

rsv@Daniel:7:14 @ And to him was given dominion and glory and kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed.

rsv@Daniel:7:16 @ I approached one of those who stood there and asked him the truth concerning all this. So he told me, and made known to me the interpretation of the things.

rsv@Daniel:7:19 @ "Then I desired to know the truth concerning the fourth beast, which was different from all the rest, exceedingly terrible, with its teeth of iron and claws of bronze; and which devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet;

rsv@Daniel:7:24 @ As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings shall arise, and another shall arise after them; he shall be different from the former ones, and shall put down three kings.

rsv@Daniel:8:4 @ I saw the ram charging westward and northward and southward; no beast could stand before him, and there was no one who could rescue from his power; he did as he pleased and magnified himself.

rsv@Daniel:8:7 @ I saw him come close to the ram, and he was enraged against him and struck the ram and broke his two horns; and the ram had no power to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground and trampled upon him; and there was no one who could rescue the ram from his power.

rsv@Daniel:8:13 @ Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to the one that spoke, "For how long is the vision concerning the continual burnt offering, the transgression that makes desolate, and the giving over of the sanctuary and host to be trampled under foot?"

rsv@Daniel:8:19 @ He said, "Behold, I will make known to you what shall be at the latter end of the indignation; for it pertains to the appointed time of the end.

rsv@Hosea:9:15 @ Every evil of theirs is in Gilgal; there I began to hate them. Because of the wickedness of their deeds I will drive them out of my house. I will love them no more; all their princes are rebels.

rsv@Hosea:9:16 @ E'phraim is stricken, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit. Even though they bring forth, I will slay their beloved children.

rsv@Hosea:9:17 @ My God will cast them off, because they have not hearkened to him; they shall be wanderers among the nations.

rsv@Malachi:2:4 @ So shall you know that I have sent this command to you, that my covenant with Levi may hold, says the LORD of hosts.

rsv@Malachi:2:6 @ True instruction was in his mouth, and no wrong was found on his lips. He walked with me in peace and uprightness, and he turned many from iniquity.

rsv@Malachi:2:7 @ For the lips of a priest should guard knowledge, and men should seek instruction from his mouth, for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts.

rsv@Malachi:2:9 @ and so I make you despised and abased before all the people, inasmuch as you have not kept my ways but have shown partiality in your instruction."

rsv@Malachi:2:10 @ Have we not all one father? Has not one God created us? Why then are we faithless to one another, profaning the covenant of our fathers?

rsv@Malachi:2:13 @ And this again you do. You cover the LORD's altar with tears, with weeping and groaning because he no longer regards the offering or accepts it with favor at your hand.

rsv@Malachi:2:14 @ You ask, "Why does he not?" Because the LORD was witness to the covenant between you and the wife of your youth, to whom you have been faithless, though she is your companion and your wife by covenant.

rsv@Malachi:2:15 @ Has not the one God made and sustained for us the spirit of life? And what does he desire? Godly offspring. So take heed to yourselves, and let none be faithless to the wife of his youth.

rsv@Malachi:2:16 @ "For I hate divorce, says the LORD the God of Israel, and covering one's garment with violence, says the LORD of hosts. So take heed to yourselves and do not be faithless."

rsv@Malachi:3:5 @ "Then I will draw near to you for judgment; I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, against the adulterers, against those who swear falsely, against those who oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow and the orphan, against those who thrust aside the sojourner, and do not fear me, says the LORD of hosts.

rsv@Malachi:3:6 @ "For I the LORD do not change; therefore you, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed.

rsv@Malachi:3:7 @ From the days of your fathers you have turned aside from my statutes and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you, says the LORD of hosts. But you say, `How shall we return?'

rsv@Malachi:3:10 @ Bring the full tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house; and thereby put me to the test, says the LORD of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you an overflowing blessing.

rsv@Malachi:3:11 @ I will rebuke the devourer for you, so that it will not destroy the fruits of your soil; and your vine in the field shall not fail to bear, says the LORD of hosts.

rsv@Malachi:3:15 @ Henceforth we deem the arrogant blessed; evildoers not only prosper but when they put God to the test they escape.'"

rsv@Malachi:3:16 @ Then those who feared the LORD spoke with one another; the LORD heeded and heard them, and a book of remembrance was written before him of those who feared the LORD and thought on his name.

rsv@Malachi:3:18 @ Then once more you shall distinguish between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve him.

rsv@Malachi:4:1 @ "For behold, the day comes, burning like an oven, when all the arrogant and all evildoers will be stubble; the day that comes shall burn them up, says the LORD of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch.
