# GENESIS

Genesis 1

[ **20** ] And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

[ **21** ] And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

[ **22** ] And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

Genesis 1

[ **27** ] So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

[ **28** ] And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Genesis 2

[ **21** ] And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

[ **22** ] And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

[ **23** ] And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. [24] Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

Genesis 3

[ **1** ] Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

Genesis 3

[ **13** ] And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. [14] And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

[ **15** ] And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Genesis 4

[ **3** ] And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.

[ **4** ] And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:

[ **5** ] But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.

Genesis 4

[ **6** ] And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?

[ **7** ] If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

Genesis 4

[ **9** ] And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?

[ **10** ] And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.

[ **11** ] And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;

[ **12** ] When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.

Genesis 4

[ **13** ] And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.

[ **14** ] Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.

[ **15** ] And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.

Genesis 4

[ **25** ] And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.

Genesis 5

[ **24** ] And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.

Genesis 6

[ **3** ] And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

Genesis 6

[ **5** ] And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

[ **6]** And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

[ **7** ] And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

Genesis 6

[ **8** ] But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.

[ **9** ] These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

Genesis 6

[ **11** ] The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.

[ **12** ] And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.

[ **13** ] And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

Genesis 8

[ **15** ] And God spake unto Noah, saying,

[ **16** ] Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.

[ **17** ] Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.

Genesis 8

[ **20** ] And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. [21] And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.

Genesis 9

[ **1** ] And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.

Genesis 9

[ **4** ] But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.

Genesis 9

[ **6** ] Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.

Genesis 9

[ **7** ] And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.

Genesis 9

[ **20** ] And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:

[ **21** ] And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.

[ **22** ] And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.

[ **23** ] And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.

[ **24** ] And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.

[ **25** ] And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.

[ **26** ] And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

[ **27** ] God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

Genesis 12

[ **1** ] Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:

[ **2** ] And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

[ **3** ] And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

Genesis 12

[ **10** ] And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.

[ **11** ] And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon:

[ **12** ] Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive.

[ **13** ] Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.

[ **14** ] And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.

[ **15** ] The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.

[ **16** ] And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.

[ **17** ] And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.

Genesis 12

[8] And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD.

Genesis 15

[ **1** ] After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.

[ **2** ] And Abram said, Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?

[ **3** ] And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.

[ **4** ] And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.

[ **5** ] And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.

[ **6** ] And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.

Genesis 15

[ **7** ] And he said unto him, I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.

[ **8** ] And he said, Lord GOD, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?

[ **9** ] And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.

[ **10** ] And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.

[ **11** ] And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.

[ **12** ] And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.

[ **13** ] And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;

[ **14** ] And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.

[ **15** ] And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.

[ **16** ] But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.

[ **17** ] And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.

Genesis 17

[ **1** ] And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.

Genesis 17

[ **9** ] And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.

[ **10** ] This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised. [11] And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.

[ **12** ] And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed.

[ **13** ] He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

[ **14** ] And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant.

Genesis 18

[ **19** ] For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.

Genesis 18

[ **23** ] And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?

[ **24** ] Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?

[ **25** ] That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?

[ **26** ] And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.

[ **27** ] And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:

[ **28** ] Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it.

[ **29** ] And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty's sake.

[ **30** ] And he said unto him, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.

[ **31** ] And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty's sake.

[ **32** ] And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake.

[ **33** ] And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.

Genesis 20

[ **1** ] And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.

[ **2** ] And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.

[ **3** ] But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife.

[ **4** ] But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?

[ **5** ] Said he not unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this.

[ **6** ] And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.

[ **7** ] Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine.

Genesis 20

[ **17** ] So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children.

[ **18** ] For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.

Genesis 22

[ **1** ] And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.

[ **2** ] And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.

Genesis 22

[ **11** ] And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.

[ **12** ] And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.

Genesis 24

[ **2** ] And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:

[ **3** ] And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:

[ **4** ] But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.

Genesis 25

[ **21** ] And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

Genesis 26

[ **4** ] And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;

[ **5** ] Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.

Genesis 26

[ **26** ] And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son.

[ **27** ] And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD hath blessed:

[ **28** ] Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:

[ **29** ] Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee.

Genesis 30

[ **22** ] And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb.

[ **23** ] And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach:

Genesis 38

[ **6** ] And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Tamar.

[ **7** ] And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD slew him.

Genesis 38

[ **8** ] And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.

[ **9** ] And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.

[ **10** ] And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also.

Genesis 39

[ **2** ] And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.

[ **3** ] And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.

[ **4** ] And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.

[ **5** ] And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.

[ **6** ] And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favoured.

Genesis 39

[ **21** ] But the LORD was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.

[ **22** ] And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it.

[ **23** ] The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his hand; because the LORD was with him, and that which he did, the LORD made it to prosper.

Genesis 40

[ **6** ] And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon them, and, behold, they were sad.

[ **7** ] And he asked Pharaoh's officers that were with him in the ward of his lord's house, saying, Wherefore look ye so sadly to day?

[ **8** ] And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you.

Genesis 42

[ **21** ] And they said one to another, We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon us.

Genesis 46

[ **1** ] And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beer-sheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac.

[ **2** ] And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.

[ **3** ] And he said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation:

[ **4** ] I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up again: and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes.

Genesis 47

[ **29** ] And the time drew nigh that Israel must die: and he called his son Joseph, and said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt:

[ **30** ] But I will lie with my fathers, and thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their burying place. And he said, I will do as thou hast said.

[ **31** ] And he said, Swear unto me. And he sware unto him. And Israel bowed himself upon the bed's head.

Genesis 48

[ **8** ] And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who are these?

[ **9** ] And Joseph said unto his father, They are my sons, whom God hath given me in this place. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and I will bless them.

Genesis 49

[ **3** ] Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power:

[ **4]** Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to thy father's bed; then defiledst thou it: he went up to my couch.

Genesis 49

[ **5** ] Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their habitations.

[ **6** ] O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a wall.

[ **7** ] Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.

# EXODUS

Exodus 1

[ **18** ] And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive?

[ **19** ] And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere [before] the midwives come in unto them.

[ **20** ] Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.

[ **21** ] And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.

Exodus 2

[ **23** ] And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.

[ **24** ] And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.

[ **25** ] And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them.

Exodus 3

[ **7** ] And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;

Exodus 3

[ **9** ] Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.

[ **10** ] Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.

Exodus 3

[ **13** ] And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?

[ **14** ] And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.

[ **15** ] And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.

Exodus 4

[ **10** ] And Moses said unto the LORD, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.

[ **11** ] And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?

[ **12** ] Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.

[ **13** ] And he said, O my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send.

[ **14** ] And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart.

Exodus 4

[ **22** ] And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn:

Exodus 4

[ **24** ] And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him.

[ **25** ] Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to me.

[ **26** ] So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou art, because of the circumcision.

Exodus 9

[ **15** ] For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth.

[ **16** ] And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.

Exodus 10

[ **1** ] And the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew these my signs before him:

[ **2** ] And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I am the LORD.

Exodus 10

[ **3** ] And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me.

Exodus 11

[ **3** ] And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh's servants, and in the sight of the people.

Exodus 12

[ **1** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,

[ **2** ] This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.

[ **3** ] Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:

[ **4** ] And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.

[ **5** ] Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:

[ **6** ] And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.

[ **7** ] And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. [8] And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.

[ **9** ] Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof.

[ **10** ] And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.

[ **11** ] And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD's passover.

Exodus 12

[ **12** ] For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.

[ **13** ] And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.

[ **14** ] And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.

Exodus 12

[ **43** ] And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof:

[ **44** ] But every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.

[ **45** ] A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof.

[ **46** ] In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.

[ **47** ] All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.

[ **48** ] And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.

[ **49** ] One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.

Exodus 13

[ **1** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[ **2** ] Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine.

Exodus 13

[ **3** ] And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten.

[ **4** ] This day came ye out in the month Abib.

[ **5** ] And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in this month.

[ **6** ] Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the LORD.

[ **7** ] Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters.

[ **8** ] And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of that which the LORD did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt.

[ **9** ] And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the LORD's law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the LORD brought thee out of Egypt.

[ **10** ] Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to year.

Exodus 13

[ **12** ] That thou shalt set apart unto the LORD all that openeth the matrix, and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the males shall be the LORD's.

[ **13** ] And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break his neck: and all the firstborn of man among thy children shalt thou redeem.

[ **14** ] And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What is this? that thou shalt say unto him, By strength of hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage:

[ **15** ] And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the LORD slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem.

Exodus 14

[ **13** ] And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.

[ **14** ] The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

Exodus 15

[ **2** ] The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.

Exodus 15

[ **3** ] The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.

Exodus 15

[ **24** ] And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?

[ **25** ] And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them,

[ **26** ] And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.

Exodus 16

[ **4** ] Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.

Exodus 16

[ **5** ] And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.

Exodus 16

[ **23** ] And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.

Exodus 16

[ **27** ] And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none.

[ **28** ] And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?

[ **29** ] See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day. [30] So the people rested on the seventh day.

Exodus 17

[ **8** ] Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.

[ **9** ] And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand.

[ **10** ] So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

[ **11** ] And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.

[ **12** ] But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.

[ **13** ] And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

Exodus 18

[ **15** ] And Moses said unto his father in law, Because the people come unto me to inquire of God:

[ **16** ] When they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between one and another, and I do make them know the statutes of God, and his laws.

Exodus 18

[ **25** ] And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.

[ **26** ] And they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes they brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.

Exodus 19

[ **5** ] Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:

[ **6** ] And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.

Exodus 20

[ **3** ] Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Exodus 20

[ **4** ] Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

[ **5** ] Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; [6] And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

Exodus 20

[ **7** ] Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

Exodus 20

[ **8** ] Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

Exodus 20

[ **9** ] Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

[ **10** ] But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

Exodus 20

[ **11** ] For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Exodus 20

[ **12** ] Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

Exodus 20

[ **18** ] And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off.

[ **19** ] And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.

[ **20** ] And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.

Exodus 20

[ **24** ] An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee.

Exodus 20

[ **25** ] And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.

Exodus 20

[ **26** ] Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.

Exodus 21

[ **2** ] If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.

[ **3** ] If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were married, then his wife shall go out with him.

[ **4** ] If his master have given him a wife, and she have born him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself.

[ **5** ] And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free:

[ **6** ] Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an aul; and he shall serve him for ever.

Exodus 21

[ **7** ] And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do.

[ **8** ] If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a strange nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her.

[ **9** ] And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.

[ **10** ] If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.

[ **11** ] And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out free without money.

Exodus 21

[ **12** ] He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.

[ **13** ] And if a man lie not in wait, but God deliver him into his hand; then I will appoint thee a place whither he shall flee.

[ **19** ] If he rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that smote him be quit: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed.

Exodus 21

[ **20** ] And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished.

Exodus 21

[ **22** ] If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.

[ **23** ] And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,

[ **24** ] Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

[ **25** ] Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

Exodus 21

[ **26** ] And if a man smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, that it perish; he shall let him go free for his eye's sake.

[ **27** ] And if he smite out his manservant's tooth, or his maidservant's tooth; he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake.

Exodus 21

[ **28** ] If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die: then the ox shall be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be quit.

Exodus 21

[ **29** ] But if the ox were wont to push with his horn in time past, and it hath been testified to his owner, and he hath not kept him in, but that he hath killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also shall be put to death.

[ **30** ] If there be laid on him a sum of money, then he shall give for the ransom of his life whatsoever is laid upon him.

[ **31** ] Whether he have gored a son, or have gored a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done unto him.

Exodus 21

[ **32** ] If the ox shall push a manservant or a maidservant; he shall give unto their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.

Exodus 21

[ **33** ] And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit, and not cover it, and an ox or an ass fall therein;

[ **34** ] The owner of the pit shall make it good, and give money unto the owner of them; and the dead beast shall be his.

Exodus 21

[ **35** ] And if one man's ox hurt another's, that he die; then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the money of it; and the dead ox also they shall divide.

Exodus 22

[ **9** ] For all manner of trespass, whether it be for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing, which another challengeth to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; and whom the judges shall condemn, he shall pay double unto his neighbour.

Exodus 22

[ **10** ] If a man deliver unto his neighbour an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast, to keep; and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing it:

[ **11** ] Then shall an oath of the LORD be between them both, that he hath not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods; and the owner of it shall accept thereof, and he shall not make it good.

[ **12** ] And if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof.

Exodus 22

[ **16** ] And if a man entice a maid [virgin] that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.

[ **22** ] Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.

[ **23** ] If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry;

[ **24** ] And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

Exodus 23

[ **15** ] Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:)

[ **16** ] And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field.

Exodus 23

[ **17** ] Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord GOD.

[ **21** ] Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.

[ **22** ] But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.

Exodus 23

[ **23** ] For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.

[ **1** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[ **2** ] Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering.

[ **3** ] And this is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and silver, and brass,

[ **4** ] And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair,

[ **5** ] And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,

[ **6** ] Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense,

[ **7** ] Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the breastplate.

[ **8** ] And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.

Exodus 25

[ **45** ] And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God.

Exodus 30

[ **11** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[ **12** ] When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel after their number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto the LORD, when thou numberest them; that there be no plague among them, when thou numberest them.

[ **13** ] This they shall give, every one that passeth among them that are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary: (a shekel is twenty gerahs:) an half shekel shall be the offering of the LORD.

[ **14** ] Every one that passeth among them that are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering unto the LORD.

[ **15** ] The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when they give an offering unto the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls.

[ **16** ] And thou shalt take the atonement money of the children of Israel, and shalt appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; that it may be a memorial unto the children of Israel before the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls.

Exodus 31

[ **12** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[ **13** ] Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you.

Exodus 31

[ **14** ] Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

Exodus 31

[ **15** ] Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.

Exodus 32

[ **7** ] And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:

[ **8** ] They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

[ **9** ] And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:

[ **10** ] Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation.

[ **11** ] And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand?

[ **12** ] Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people.

[ **13** ] Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever.

[ **14** ] And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.

Exodus 32

[ **30** ] And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto the LORD; peradventure I shall make an atonement for your sin.

[ **31** ] And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.

[ **32** ] Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.

[ **33** ] And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.

Exodus 32

[ **34** ] Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee: nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them. [35] And the LORD plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.

Exodus 33

[ **19** ] And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.

Exodus 34

[ **6** ] And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,

[ **7** ] Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.

Exodus 34

[ **14** ] For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:

Exodus 34

[ **15** ] Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods , and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice;

[ **16** ] And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods.

Exodus 34

[ **17** ] Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.

Exodus 34

[ **18** ] The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the month Abib: for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt.

Exodus 34

[ **19** ] All that openeth the matrix is mine; and every firstling among thy cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male.

[ **20** ] But the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou redeem him not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.

Exodus 34

[ **21** ] Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.

Exodus 34

[ **22** ] And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year's end.

Exodus 34

[ **23** ] Thrice in the year shall all your men children appear before the Lord GOD, the God of Israel.

[ **24** ] For I will cast out the nations before thee, and enlarge thy borders: neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou shalt go up to appear before the LORD thy God thrice in the year.

Exodus 34

[ **25** ] Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the morning.

Exodus 34

[ **26** ] The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.

Exodus 35

[ **2** ] Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death.

Exodus 35

[ **3** ] Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day.

Exodus 39

[ **43** ] And Moses did look upon all the work, and, behold, they have done it as the LORD had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.

# LEVITICUS

Leviticus 1

[ **1** ] And the LORD called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,

[ **2** ] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man of you bring an offering unto the LORD, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd, and of the flock.

[ **3** ] If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD.

[ **4** ] And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.

Leviticus 1

[ **9** ] But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

Leviticus 1

[ **10** ] And if his offering be of the flocks, namely, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice; he shall bring it a male without blemish.

[ **14** ] And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the LORD be of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons.

Leviticus 2

[ **1** ] And when any will offer a meat [grain] offering unto the LORD, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon:

[ **2** ] And he shall bring it to Aaron's sons the priests: and he shall take thereout his handful of the flour thereof, and of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof; and the priest shall burn the memorial of it upon the altar, to be an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD:

[ **3** ] And the remnant of the meat [grain] offering shall be Aaron's and his sons': it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.

Leviticus 2

[ **4** ] And if thou bring an oblation [offering] of a meat [grain] offering baken in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil.

[ **9** ] And the priest shall take from the meat [grain] offering a memorial thereof, and shall burn it upon the altar: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

Leviticus 2

[ **11** ] No meat [grain] offering, which ye shall bring unto the LORD, shall be made with leaven: for ye shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, in any offering of the LORD made by fire.

Leviticus 2

[ **12** ] As for the oblation [offering] of the firstfruits, ye shall offer them unto the LORD: but they shall not be burnt on the altar for a sweet savour.

Leviticus 2

[ **14** ] And if thou offer a meat [grain] offering of thy firstfruits unto the LORD, thou shalt offer for the meat [grain] offering of thy firstfruits green ears of corn dried by the fire, even corn beaten out of full ears.

[ **15** ] And thou shalt put oil upon it, and lay frankincense thereon: it is a meat [grain] offering.

Leviticus 3

[ **1** ] And if his oblation [offering] be a sacrifice of peace offering, if he offer it of the herd; whether it be a male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before the LORD.

Leviticus 3

[ **17** ] It shall be a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings, that ye eat neither fat nor blood.

Leviticus 4

[ **1** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[ **2** ] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them:

[ **3** ] If the priest that is anointed do sin according to the sin of the people; then let him bring for his sin, which he hath sinned, a young bullock without blemish unto the LORD for a sin offering.

Leviticus 4

[ **13** ] And if the whole congregation of Israel sin through ignorance, and the thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done somewhat against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which should not be done, and are guilty;

[ **14** ] When the sin, which they have sinned against it, is known, then the congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin, and bring him before the tabernacle of the congregation.

[ **15** ] And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon the head of the bullock before the LORD: and the bullock shall be killed before the LORD.

Leviticus 4

[ **22** ] When a ruler hath sinned, and done somewhat through ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD his God concerning things which should not be done, and is guilty;

[ **23** ] Or if his sin, wherein he hath sinned, come to his knowledge; he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a male without blemish:

[ **24** ] And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before the LORD: it is a sin offering.

Leviticus 4

[ **27** ] And if any one of the common people sin through ignorance, while he doeth somewhat against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which ought not to be done, and be guilty;

[ **28** ] Or if his sin, which he hath sinned, come to his knowledge: then he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for his sin which he hath sinned.

Leviticus 4

[ **32** ] And if he bring a lamb for a sin offering, he shall bring it a female without blemish.

Leviticus 5

[ **1** ] And if a soul sin, and hear the voice of swearing, and is a witness, whether he hath seen or known of it; if he do not utter it, then he shall bear his iniquity. ["If anyone sins in that he hears a public adjuration to testify, and though he is a witness, whether he has seen or come to know the matter, yet does not speak, he shall bear his iniquity;] (ESV)

Leviticus 5

[ **2** ] Or if a soul touch any unclean thing, whether it be a carcase of an unclean beast, or a carcase of unclean cattle, or the carcase of unclean creeping things, and if it be hidden from him; he also shall be unclean, and guilty.

Leviticus 5

[ **3** ] Or if he touch the uncleanness of man, whatsoever uncleanness it be that a man shall be defiled withal, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty.

Leviticus 5

[ **4** ] Or if a soul swear, pronouncing with his lips to do evil, or to do good, whatsoever it be that a man shall pronounce with an oath, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty in one of these. [or if anyone utters with his lips a rash oath to do evil or to do good, any sort of rash oath that people swear, and it is hidden from him, when he comes to know it, and he realizes his guilt in any of these;] (ESV)

Leviticus 5

[ **5** ] And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that he shall confess that he hath sinned in that thing:

[ **6** ] And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD for his sin which he hath sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats, for a sin offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin.

[ **7** ] And if he be not able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring for his trespass, which he hath committed, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, unto the LORD; one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering.

[ **8** ] And he shall bring them unto the priest, who shall offer that which is for the sin offering first, and wring off his head from his neck, but shall not divide it asunder:

[ **9** ] And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin offering upon the side of the altar; and the rest of the blood shall be wrung out at the bottom of the altar: it is a sin offering.

[ **10** ] And he shall offer the second for a burnt offering, according to the manner: and the priest shall make an atonement for him for his sin which he hath sinned, and it shall be forgiven him.

[ **11** ] But if he be not able to bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, then he that sinned shall bring for his offering the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering; he shall put no oil upon it, neither shall he put any frankincense thereon: for it is a sin offering. [12] Then shall he bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it, even a memorial thereof, and burn it on the altar, according to the offerings made by fire unto the LORD: it is a sin offering.

[ **13** ] And the priest shall make an atonement for him as touching his sin that he hath sinned in one of these, and it shall be forgiven him: and the remnant shall be the priest's, as a meat [grain] offering.

Leviticus 5

[ **14** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[ **15** ] If a soul commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, in the holy things of the LORD; then he shall bring for his trespass unto the LORD a ram without blemish out of the flocks, with thy estimation by shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering:

[ **16** ] And he shall make amends for the harm that he hath done in the holy thing, and shall add the fifth part thereto, and give it unto the priest: and the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering, and it shall be forgiven him. [You must make restitution for the sacred property you have harmed by paying for the loss, plus an additional 20 percent. When you give the payment to the priest, he will purify you with the ram sacrificed as a guilt offering, making you right with the LORD, and you will be forgiven.]

Leviticus 5

[ **17** ] And if a soul sin, and commit any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the commandments of the LORD; though he wist [knew] it not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.

[ **18** ] And he shall bring a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest: and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his ignorance wherein he erred and wist [knew] it not, and it shall be forgiven him.

Leviticus 6

[ **1** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[ **2** ] If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against the LORD, and lie unto his neighbour in that which was delivered him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a thing taken away by violence, or hath deceived his neighbour;

[ **3** ] Or have found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it, and sweareth falsely; in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein:

[ **4** ] Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore that which he took violently away, or the thing which he hath deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the lost thing which he found,

[ **5** ] Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely; he shall even restore it in the principal, and shall add the fifth part more thereto, and give it unto him to whom it appertaineth, in the day of his trespass offering.

[ **6** ] And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest:

[ **7** ] And the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD: and it shall be forgiven him for any thing of all that he hath done in trespassing therein.

Leviticus 6

[ **24** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[ **25** ] Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, saying, This is the law of the sin offering: In the place where the burnt offering is killed shall the sin offering be killed before the LORD: it is most holy.

[ **26** ] The priest that offereth it for sin shall eat it: in the holy place shall it be eaten, in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation.

[ **27** ] Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof shall be holy: and when there is sprinkled of the blood thereof upon any garment, thou shalt wash that whereon it was sprinkled in the holy place.

Leviticus 7

[ **1** ] Likewise this is the law of the trespass offering: it is most holy.

[ **2** ] In the place where they kill the burnt offering shall they kill the trespass offering: and the blood thereof shall he sprinkle round about upon the altar.

[ **3** ] And he shall offer of it all the fat thereof; the rump, and the fat that covereth the inwards,

[ **4** ] And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the caul that is above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away:

[ **5** ] And the priest shall burn them upon the altar for an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a trespass offering.

[ **6** ] Every male among the priests shall eat thereof: it shall be eaten in the holy place: it is most holy.

Leviticus 7

[ **7** ] As the sin offering is, so is the trespass offering: there is one law for them: the priest that maketh atonement therewith shall have it.

Leviticus 7

[ **8** ] And the priest that offereth any man's burnt offering, even the priest shall have to himself the skin of the burnt offering which he hath offered.

Leviticus 7

[ **9** ] And all the meat [grain] offering that is baken in the oven, and all that is dressed in the fryingpan, and in the pan, shall be the priest's that offereth it.

Leviticus 7

[ **10** ] And every meat [grain] offering, mingled with oil, and dry, shall all the sons of Aaron have, one as much as another.

Leviticus 7

[ **11** ] And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he shall offer unto the LORD.

[ **12** ] If he offer it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mingled with oil, of fine flour, fried.

[ **13** ] Besides the cakes, he shall offer for his offering leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offerings.

[ **14** ] And of it he shall offer one out of the whole oblation [offering] for an heave offering unto the LORD, and it shall be the priest's that sprinkleth the blood of the peace offerings.

[ **15** ] And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it is offered; he shall not leave any of it until the morning.

Leviticus 7

[ **16** ] But if the sacrifice of his offering be a vow, or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he offereth his sacrifice: and on the morrow also the remainder of it shall be eaten:

[ **17** ] But the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burnt with fire.

Leviticus 7

[ **18** ] And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings be eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed unto him that offereth it: it shall be an abomination, and the soul that eateth of it shall bear his iniquity.

[ **19** ] And the flesh that toucheth any unclean thing shall not be eaten; it shall be burnt with fire: and as for the flesh, all that be clean shall eat thereof.

Leviticus 7

[ **20** ] But the soul that eateth of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, that pertain unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.

Leviticus 7

[ **22** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[ **23** ] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no manner of fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat.

Leviticus 7

[ **24** ] And the fat of the beast [animal] that dieth of itself, and the fat of that which is torn with beasts, may be used in any other use: but ye shall in no wise eat of it.

Leviticus 7

[ **25** ] For whosoever eateth the fat of the beast [animal], of which men offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, even the soul that eateth it shall be cut off from his people.

Leviticus 7

[ **26** ] Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of fowl [bird] or of beast [animal], in any of your dwellings.

[ **27** ] Whatsoever soul it be that eateth any manner of blood, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.

Leviticus 7

[ **28** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[ **29** ] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, He that offereth the sacrifice of his peace offerings unto the LORD shall bring his oblation [offering] unto the LORD of the sacrifice of his peace offerings.

[ **30** ] His own hands shall bring the offerings of the LORD made by fire, the fat with the breast, it shall he bring, that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before the LORD.

[ **31** ] And the priest shall burn the fat upon the altar: but the breast shall be Aaron's and his sons'.

[ **32** ] And the right shoulder shall ye give unto the priest for an heave offering of the sacrifices of your peace offerings.

[ **33** ] He among the sons of Aaron, that offereth the blood of the peace offerings, and the fat, shall have the right shoulder for his part.

Leviticus 10

[ **1** ] And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not.

[ **2** ] And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD.

[ **3** ] Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the LORD spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace.

Leviticus 10

[ **7** ] And ye shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: for the anointing oil of the LORD is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses.

Leviticus 10

[ **9** ] Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou [Aron], nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations:

[ **10** ] And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean;

Leviticus 10

[ **12** ] And Moses spake unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons that were left, Take the meat [grain] offering that remaineth of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside the altar: for it is most holy:

[ **13** ] And ye shall eat it in the holy place, because it is thy due [share], and thy sons' due [share], of the sacrifices of the LORD made by fire: for so I am commanded.

[ **14** ] And the wave breast and heave shoulder shall ye eat in a clean place; thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee: for they be thy due [share], and thy sons' due [share], which are given out of the sacrifices of peace offerings of the children of Israel.

[ **15** ] The heave shoulder and the wave breast shall they bring with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave offering before the LORD; and it shall be thine, and thy sons' with thee, by a statute for ever; as the LORD hath commanded.

Leviticus 10

[ **16** ] And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin offering, and, behold, it was burnt: and he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron which were left alive, saying,

[ **17** ] Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin offering in the holy place, seeing it is most holy, and God hath given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the LORD?

[ **18** ] Behold, the blood of it was not brought in within the holy place: ye should indeed have eaten it in the holy place, as I commanded.

[ **19** ] And Aaron said unto Moses, Behold, this day have they offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD; and such things have befallen me: and if I had eaten the sin offering to day, should it have been accepted in the sight of the LORD? [20] And when Moses heard that, he was content.

Leviticus 11

[ **1** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,

[ **2** ] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts [animals] which ye shall eat among all the beasts [animals] that are on the earth.

[ **3** ] Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.

Leviticus 11

[ **4** ] Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

[ **5** ] And the coney [hydrax], because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

[ **6** ] And the hare [rabbit], because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

[ **7** ] And the swine [pig], though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.

[ **8** ] Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.

Leviticus 11

[ **9** ] These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.

Leviticus 11

[ **10** ] And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:

[ **11** ] They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.

[ **12** ] Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.

Leviticus 11

[ **13** ] And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,

[ **14** ] And the vulture, and the kite after his kind;

[ **15** ] Every raven after his kind;

[ **16** ] And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,

[ **17** ] And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,

[ **18** ] And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,

[ **19** ] And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.

Leviticus 11

[ **20** ] All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you.

Leviticus 11

[ **21** ] Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth;

[ **22** ] Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind.

[ **23** ] But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you.

[ **24** ] And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even.

[ **25** ] And whosoever beareth ought of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.

Leviticus 11

[ **26** ] The carcases of every beast which divideth the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, are unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean.

Leviticus 11

[ **27** ] And whatsoever goeth upon his paws, among all manner of beasts that go on all four, those are unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even.

[ **28** ] And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they are unclean unto you.

Leviticus 11

[ **29** ] These also shall be unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind,

[ **30** ] And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole.

[ **31** ] These are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even.

Leviticus 11

[ **32** ] And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel it be, wherein any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the even; so it shall be cleansed. [And anything on which any of them falls when they are dead shall be unclean, whether it is an article of wood or a garment or a skin or a sack, any article that is used for any purpose. It must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; then it shall be clean.] (ESV)

Leviticus 11

[ **33** ] And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it. [And if any of them falls into any earthenware vessel, all that is in it shall be unclean, and you shall break it.] (ESV)

[ **34** ] Of all meat which may be eaten, that on which such water cometh shall be unclean: and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean. [Any food in it that could be eaten, on which water comes, shall be unclean. And all drink that could be drunk from every such vessel shall be unclean.] (ESV)

Leviticus 11

[ **35** ] And every thing whereupon any part of their carcase falleth shall be unclean; whether it be oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down: for they are unclean, and shall be unclean unto you. [And everything on which any part of their carcass falls shall be unclean. Whether oven or stove, it shall be broken in pieces. They are unclean and shall remain unclean for you.] (ESV)

Leviticus 11

[ **36** ] Nevertheless a fountain or pit, wherein there is plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcase shall be unclean.

Leviticus 11

[ **37** ] And if any part of their carcase fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean.

Leviticus 11

[ **38** ] But if any water be put upon the seed, and any part of their carcase fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you.

Leviticus 11

[ **39** ] And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even.

[ **40** ] And he that eateth of the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: he also that beareth the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.

Leviticus 11

[ **41** ] And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten.

Leviticus 11

[ **42** ] Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all four, or whatsoever hath more feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination.

Leviticus 11

[ **44** ] For I am the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Leviticus 12

[ **1** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[ **2** ] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean.

[ **3** ] And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.

[ **4** ] And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled.

[ **5** ] But if she bear a maid child [daughter], then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore [sixty] and six days.

Leviticus 12

[ **6** ] And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest:

[ **7** ] Who shall offer it before the LORD, and make an atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood. This is the law for her that hath born a male or a female.

[ **8** ] And if she be not able to bring a lamb, then she shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons; the one for the burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for her, and she shall be clean.

Leviticus 16

[ **17** ] And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he goeth in to make an atonement in the holy place, until he come out, and have made an atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the congregation of Israel.

Leviticus 16

[ **29** ] And this shall be a statute for ever unto you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you:

[ **30** ] For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your sins before the LORD.

[ **31** ] It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute for ever.

Leviticus 17

[ **1** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[ **2** ] Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them; This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, saying,

[ **3** ] What man soever there be of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that killeth it out of the camp,

[ **4** ] And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer an offering unto the LORD before the tabernacle of the LORD; blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people:

[ **5** ] To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they offer in the open field, even that they may bring them unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest, and offer them for peace offerings unto the LORD.

Leviticus 17

[ **7** ] And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto devils, after whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be a statute for ever unto them throughout their generations.

Leviticus 17

[ **8** ] And thou shalt say unto them, Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers which sojourn among you, that offereth a burnt offering of sacrifice,

[ **9** ] And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer it unto the LORD; even that man shall be cut off from among his people.

Leviticus 17

[ **10** ] And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people.

Leviticus 17

[ **11** ] For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.

Leviticus 17

[ **13** ] And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust.

Leviticus 17

[ **14** ] For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.

Leviticus 17

[ **15** ] And every soul that eateth that which died of itself, or that which was torn with beasts, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even: then shall he be clean.

[ **16** ] But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh; then he shall bear his iniquity.

Leviticus 18

[ **3** ] After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances.

[ **4** ] Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am the LORD your God.

Leviticus 18

[ **5** ] Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD.

[ **4** ] Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the LORD your God.

Leviticus 19

[ **5** ] And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, ye shall offer it at your own will.

[ **6** ] It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and if ought remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire.

[ **7** ] And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is abominable; it shall not be accepted.

[ **8** ] Therefore every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the LORD: and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

Leviticus 19

[ **9** ] And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest.

[ **10** ] And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the LORD your God.

Leviticus 19

[ **11** ] Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.

Leviticus 19

[ **12** ] And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.

[ **14** ] Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I am the LORD.

Leviticus 19

Leviticus 19

[ **16** ] Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour: I am the LORD. [You shall not go around as a slanderer among your people, and you shall not stand up against the life of your neighbor: I am the LORD.] (ESV)

Leviticus 19

[ **17** ] Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.

Leviticus 19

[ **18** ] Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.

Leviticus 19

[ **19** ] Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee.

Leviticus 19

[ **20** ] And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid, betrothed to an husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; she shall be scourged; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free.

[ **21** ] And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, even a ram for a trespass offering.

[ **22** ] And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before the LORD for his sin which he hath done: and the sin which he hath done shall be forgiven him.

Leviticus 19

[ **23** ] And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten of.

[ **24** ] But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the LORD withal.

[ **25** ] And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the increase thereof: I am the LORD your God.

Leviticus 19

[ **26** ] Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times.

Leviticus 19

[ **27** ] Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.

Leviticus 19

[ **28** ] Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print [tattoo] any marks upon you: I am the LORD.

[ **29** ] Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.

Leviticus 19

[ **30** ] Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.

Leviticus 19

[ **31** ] Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God. ["Do not turn to mediums or necromancers; do not seek them out, and so make yourselves unclean by them: I am the LORD your God.] (ESV)

Leviticus 19

[ **32** ] Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I am the LORD. ["You shall stand up before the gray head and honor the face of an old man, and you shall fear your God: I am the LORD.] (ESV)

Leviticus 19

[ **33** ] And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him.

Leviticus 19

[ **34** ] But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.

Leviticus 19

[ **35** ] Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure. [You must not use dishonest measures of length, weight, or volume.] (ESV)

Leviticus 19

[ **36** ] Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.

Leviticus 19

[ **37** ] Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I am the LORD.

Leviticus 20

[ **2** ] Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones.

[ **3** ] And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.

Leviticus 20

[ **4** ] And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not:

[ **5** ] Then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people.

Leviticus 20

[ **6** ] And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people. ["If a person turns to mediums and necromancers, whoring after them, I will set my face against that person and will cut him off from among his people.] (ESV)

[ **13** ] If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

Leviticus 20

[ **14** ] And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you.

Leviticus 20

[ **18** ] And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and shall uncover her nakedness; he hath discovered her fountain, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.

[ **19** ] And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister, nor of thy father's sister: for he uncovereth his near kin: they shall bear their iniquity.

Leviticus 20

[ **20** ] And if a man shall lie with his uncle's wife, he hath uncovered his uncle's nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.

Leviticus 20

[ **21** ] And if a man shall take his brother's wife, it is an unclean thing: he hath uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless.

Leviticus 20

[ **22** ] Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, spue you not out.

Leviticus 20

[ **23** ] And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.

Leviticus 20

[ **24** ] But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey: I am the LORD your God, which have separated you from other people.

Leviticus 20

[ **25** ] Ye shall therefore put difference between clean beasts [animals] and unclean, and between unclean fowls [birds] and clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean.

Leviticus 20

[ **26** ] And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine.

Leviticus 21

[ **1** ] And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none be defiled for the dead among his people:

[ **2** ] But for his kin, that is near unto him, that is, for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother,

[ **3** ] And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh unto him, which hath had no husband; for her may he be defiled.

[ **4** ] But he shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.

Leviticus 21

[ **5** ] They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.

[ **6** ] They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of their God: for the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and the bread of their God, they do offer: therefore they shall be holy.

Leviticus 21

[ **7** ] They shall not take a wife that is a whore, or profane; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband: for he is holy unto his God.

[ **10** ] And he that is the high priest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor rend his clothes;

[ **11** ] Neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother;

[ **12** ] Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am the LORD.

[ **13** ] And he shall take a wife in her virginity.

[ **14** ] A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane, or an harlot, these shall he not take: but he shall take a virgin of his own people to wife.

[ **15** ] Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for I the LORD do sanctify him.

Leviticus 21

[ **17** ] Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.

[ **18** ] For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,

[ **19** ] Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,

[ **20** ] Or crookbackt [hunchback], or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy [itching disease], or scabbed, or hath his stones [testicals] broken;

Leviticus 21

[ **21** ] No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.

[ **22** ] He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.

[ **23** ] Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I the LORD do sanctify them.

Leviticus 22,

[ **2** ] Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, and that they profane not my holy name in those things which they hallow unto me: I am the LORD.

Leviticus 22

[ **3** ] Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your seed among your generations, that goeth unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence: I am the LORD.

Leviticus 22

[ **4** ] What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath a running issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth any thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him;

[ **5** ] Or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath;

[ **6** ] The soul which hath touched any such shall be unclean until even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he wash his flesh with water.

[ **7** ] And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things; because it is his food.

[ **8** ] That which dieth of itself, or is torn with beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself therewith: I am the LORD.

Leviticus 22

[ **10** ] There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest, or an hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.

[ **11** ] But if the priest buy any soul with his money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they shall eat of his meat [food].

Leviticus 22

[ **12** ] If the priest's daughter also be married unto a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things.

Leviticus 22

[ **13** ] But if the priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is returned unto her father's house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father's meat [food]: but there shall no stranger eat thereof.

Leviticus 22

[ **14** ] And if a man eat of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give it unto the priest with the holy thing.

Levitcus 22

[ **15** ] And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto the LORD;

[ **16** ] Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I the LORD do sanctify them.

Levitcus 22

[ **18** ] Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, Whatsoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that will offer his oblation [offering] for all his vows, and for all his freewill offerings, which they will offer unto the LORD for a burnt offering;

[ **19** ] Ye shall offer at your own will a male without blemish, of the beeves [cattle], of the sheep, or of the goats.

[ **20** ] But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.

Levitcus 22

[ **21** ] And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD to accomplish his vow, or a freewill offering in beeves [cattle] or sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein.

Leviticus 22

[ **22** ] Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen [sebaceous cyst], or scurvy[itching disease], or scabbed, ye shall not offer these unto the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto the LORD.

[ **25** ] Neither from a stranger's hand shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of these; because their corruption is in them, and blemishes be in them: they shall not be accepted for you.

Leviticus 22

[ **27** ] When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days under the dam [with its mother]; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

Leviticus 22

[ **28** ] And whether it be cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her young both in one day.

Leviticus 22

[ **29** ] And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the LORD, offer it at your own will.

[ **30** ] On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall leave none of it until the morrow: I am the LORD.

Leviticus 22

[ **32** ] Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am the LORD which hallow you,

Leviticus 23

[ **3** ] Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation [formal assembly]; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.

Leviticus 23

[ **4** ] These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations [formal assemblies], which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.

[ **5** ] In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD's passover.

[ **6** ] And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.

[ **7** ] In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.

[ **8** ] But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.

Leviticus 23

[ **10** ] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf [grain stalks bundled lengthwise] of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:

[ **11** ] And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.

[ **12** ] And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the LORD.

[ **13** ] And the meat [grain] offering thereof shall be two tenth deals [approximately 40 litres or 9 gallons] of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto the LORD for a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin [approximately 5 litres or 1 gallon].

[ **14** ] And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

Leviticus 23

[ **15** ] And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf [grain stalks bundled lengthwise] of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:

[ **16** ] Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat [grain] offering unto the LORD.

[ **17** ] Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave [to be waved before the Lord] loaves of two tenth deals [approximately 40 litres or 9 gallons]: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; they are the firstfruits unto the LORD.

[ **18** ] And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be for a burnt offering unto the LORD, with their meat [grain] offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of sweet savour unto the LORD.

[ **19** ] Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings.

[ **20** ] And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits for a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the LORD for the priest.

[ **21** ] And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that it may be an holy convocation [formal assembly] unto you: ye shall do no servile work therein: it shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.

Leviticus 23

[ **23** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[ **24** ] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation [formal assembly].

[ **25** ] Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

Leviticus 23

[ **27** ] Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation [formal assembly] unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

[ **28** ] And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God.

[ **29** ] For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.

[ **30** ] And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.

[ **31** ] Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

[ **32** ] It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.

Leviticus 23

[ **33** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[ **34** ] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles [sometimes called 'Feast of Booths] for seven days unto the LORD.

[ **35** ] On the first day shall be an holy convocation [formal assembly]: ye shall do no servile work therein.

[ **36** ] Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation [formal assembly] unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein.

Leviticus 23

[ **37** ] These are the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations [formal assemblies], to offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meat [grain] offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day:

[ **38** ] Beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the LORD.

Leviticus 23

[ **39** ] Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath.

[ **40** ] And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days.

[ **41** ] And ye shall keep it a feast unto the LORD seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month.

[ **42** ] Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths:

[ **43** ] That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.

Leviticus 24

[ **10** ] And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel: and this son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp;

[ **11** ] And the Israelitish woman's son blasphemed the name of the LORD, and cursed. And they brought him unto Moses: (and his mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan:)

[ **12** ] And they put him in ward, that the mind of the LORD might be shewed them.

[ **13** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[ **14** ] Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him.

[ **15** ] And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin.

Leviticus 24

[ **16** ] And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the LORD, shall be put to death.

Leviticus 24

[ **17** ] And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death.

Leviticus 24

[ **18** ] And he that killeth a beast shall make it good; beast for beast.

Leviticus 24

[ **19** ] And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him;

[ **20** ] Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him again.

Leviticus 24

[ **22** ] Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I am the LORD your God.

Leviticus 25

[ **3** ] Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;

[ **4** ] But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.

[ **5** ] That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed: for it is a year of rest unto the land.

[ **6** ] And the sabbath of the land shall be meat [food] for you; for thee, and for thy servant [slave], and for thy maid [female slave], and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee,

[ **7** ] And for thy cattle, and for the beast that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be meat [food].

Leviticus 25

[ **8** ] And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years.

[ **9** ] Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.

[ **10** ] And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.

Leviticus 25

[ **11** ] A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed.

[ **12** ] For it is the jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.

Leviticus 25

[ **14** ] And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest ought of thy neighbour's hand, ye shall not oppress one another:

[ **15** ] According to the number of years after the jubile thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, and according unto the number of years of the fruits he shall sell unto thee:

[ **16** ] According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish the price of it: for according to the number of the years of the fruits doth he sell unto thee.

Leviticus 25

[ **17** ] Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the LORD your God.

Leviticus 25

[ **18** ] Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.

[ **19** ] And the land shall yield her fruit, and you shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.

Leviticus 25

[ **23** ] The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.

Leviticus 25

[ **24** ] And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.

Leviticus 25

[ **25** ] If thy brother be waxen poor, and hath sold away some of his possession [property], and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother sold.

[ **26** ] And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it;

[ **27** ] Then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; that he may return unto his possession [property]. [let him calculate the years since he sold it and pay back the balance to the man to whom he sold it, and then return to his property.] (ESV

[ **28** ] But if he be not able to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubile: and in the jubile it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession [property].

Leviticus 25

[ **29** ] And if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year may he redeem it.

[ **30** ] And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be established for ever to him that bought it throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubile.

Leviticus 25

[ **31** ] But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be counted as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubile.

Leviticus 25

[ **32** ] Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, and the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time.

Leviticus 25

[ **33** ] And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the year of jubile: for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.

[ **34** ] But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession.

Leviticus 25

[ **35** ] And if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt relieve him: yea, though he be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee.

[ **36** ] Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee.

[ **37** ] Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals [food] for increase [profit].

Leviticus 25

[ **39** ] And if thy brother that dwelleth by thee be waxen poor, and be sold unto thee; thou shalt not compel him to serve as a bondservant [slave]:

[ **40** ] But as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee, and shall serve thee unto the year of jubile:

[ **41** ] And then shall he depart from thee, both he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return.

[ **42** ] For they are my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as bondmen [slaves].

[ **43** ] Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; but shalt fear thy God.

Leviticus 25

[ **44** ] Both thy bondmen [male slaves], and thy bondmaids [female slaves], which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.

[ **45** ] Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession.

[ **46** ] And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour.

Leviticus 25

[ **47** ] And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee, and thy brother that dwelleth by him wax poor, and sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner by thee, or to the stock of the stranger's family:

[ **48** ] After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren may redeem him:

[ **49** ] Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may redeem himself.

[ **50** ] And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him unto the year of jubile: and the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of years, according to the time of an hired servant shall it be with him.

[ **51** ] If there be yet many years behind, according unto them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.

[ **52** ] And if there remain but few years unto the year of jubile, then he shall count with him, and according unto his years shall he give him again the price of his redemption.

[ **53** ] And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: and the other shall not rule with rigour over him in thy sight.

[ **54** ] And if he be not redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in the year of jubile, both he, and his children with him.

[ **55** ] For unto me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.

Leviticus 26

[ **1** ] Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.

Leviticus 26

[ **3** ] If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;

[ **4** ] Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

[ **5** ] And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.

[ **6** ] And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.

[ **7** ] And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.

[ **8** ] And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.

[ **9** ] For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.

[ **10** ] And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new.

[ **11** ] And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you.

[ **12** ] And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.

[ **13** ] I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.

Leviticus 26

[ **14** ] But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments;

[ **15** ] And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant:

[ **16** ] I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

[ **17** ] And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.

[ **18** ] And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.

[ **19** ] And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:

[ **20** ] And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.

[ **21** ] And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.

[ **22** ] I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your highways shall be desolate.

[ **23** ] And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me;

[ **24** ] Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.

[ **25** ] And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

[ **26** ] And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.

[ **27** ] And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me;

[ **28** ] Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.

[ **29** ] And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.

[ **30** ] And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.

[ **31** ] And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours.

[ **32** ] And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it.

[ **33** ] And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste.

[ **34** ] Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye be in your enemies' land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.

[ **35** ] As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.

[ **36** ] And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth.

[ **37** ] And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.

[ **38** ] And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.

[ **39** ] And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.

Leviticus 26

[ **40** ] If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me;

[ **41** ] And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity:

[ **42** ] Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land.

[ **43** ] The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes.

[ **44** ] And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am the LORD their God.

[ **45** ] But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I am the LORD.

Leviticus 27

[ **1** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[ **2** ] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man shall make a singular vow, the persons shall be for the LORD by thy estimation. ["Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'If anyone makes a special vow to dedicate a person to the LORD by giving the equivalent value,] (NIV)

[ **3** ] And thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, even thy estimation shall be fifty shekels [silver coin and unit of weight] of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.

[ **4** ] And if it be a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels.

[ **5** ] And if it be from five years old even unto twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

[ **6** ] And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation shall be three shekels of silver.

[ **7** ] And if it be from sixty years old and above; if it be a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

[ **8** ] But if he be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to his ability that vowed shall the priest value him. [And if someone is too poor to pay the valuation, then he shall be made to stand before the priest, and the priest shall value him; the priest shall value him according to what the vower can afford.] (ESV)

[ **9** ] And if it be a beast, whereof men bring an offering unto the LORD, all that any man giveth of such unto the LORD shall be holy.

[ **10** ] He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then it and the exchange thereof shall be holy. [One shall not differentiate between good or bad, neither shall he make a substitute for it; and if he does substitute for it, then both it and the substitute shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed."] (ESV)

[ **11** ] And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a sacrifice unto the LORD, then he shall present the beast before the priest:

[ **12** ] And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as thou valuest it, who art the priest, so shall it be.

[ **13** ] But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth part thereof unto thy estimation.

Leviticus 27

[ **14** ] And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy unto the LORD, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it be good or bad: as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand. ["When a man dedicates his house as a holy gift to the LORD, the priest shall value it as either good or bad; as the priest values it, so it shall stand.] (ESV)

[ **15** ] And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be his.

Leviticus 27

[ **16** ] And if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD some part of a field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the seed thereof: an homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels shekels [silver coin and unit of weight] of silver.

[ **17** ] If he sanctify his field from the year of jubile, according to thy estimation it shall stand.

[ **18** ] But if he sanctify his field after the jubile, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain, even unto the year of the jubile, and it shall be abated from thy estimation.

[ **19** ] And if he that sanctified the field will in any wise redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be assured to him.

[ **20** ] And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more.

[ **21** ] But the field, when it goeth out in the jubile, shall be holy unto the LORD, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest's.

Leviticus 27

[ **22** ] And if a man sanctify unto the LORD a field which he hath bought, which is not of the fields of his possession;

[ **23** ] Then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation, even unto the year of the jubile: and he shall give thine estimation in that day, as a holy thing unto the LORD.

[ **24** ] In the year of the jubile the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land did belong.

[ **25** ] And all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.

Leviticus 27

[ **26** ] Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be the LORD's firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox, or sheep: it is the LORD's.

[ **27** ] And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem it according to thine estimation, and shall add a fifth part of it thereto: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation.

Leviticus 27

[ **28** ] Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto the LORD of all that he hath, both of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto the LORD.

Leviticus 27

[ **29** ] None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death.

Leviticus 27

[ **30** ] And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD's: it is holy unto the LORD.

Leviticus 27

[ **31** ] And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof.

Leviticus 27

[ **32** ] And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD.

[ **33** ] He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he change it at all, then both it and the change thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.

# NUMBERS

Numbers 3

[ **4** ] And Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD, when they offered strange fire before the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children: and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office in the sight of Aaron their father.

Numbers 3

[ **11** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[ **12** ] And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth the matrix among the children of Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine;

[ **13** ] Because all the firstborn are mine; for on the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be: I am the LORD.

Numbers 3

[ **40** ] And the LORD said unto Moses, Number all the firstborn of the males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names.

[ **41** ] And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I am the LORD) instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the children of Israel.

Numbers 3

[ **46** ] And for those that are to be redeemed of the two hundred and threescore and thirteen [273] of the firstborn of the children of Israel, which are more than the Levites;

[ **47** ] Thou shalt even take five shekels [silver coin and unit of weight] apiece by the poll, after the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take them: (the shekel is twenty gerahs:)

[ **48** ] And thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd number of them is to be redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons.

Numbers 5

[ **5** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[ **6** ] Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the LORD, and that person be guilty;

[ **7** ] Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he shall recompense his trespass with the principal thereof, and add unto it the fifth part thereof, and give it unto him against whom he hath trespassed. [he shall confess his sin that he has committed. And he shall make full restitution for his wrong, adding a fifth to it and giving it to him to whom he did the wrong.] (ESV)

[ **8** ] But if the man have no kinsman to recompense the trespass unto, let the trespass be recompensed unto the LORD, even to the priest; beside the ram of the atonement, whereby an atonement shall be made for him. [But if the man has no next of kin to whom restitution may be made for the wrong, the restitution for wrong shall go to the LORD for the priest, in addition to the ram of atonement with which atonement is made for him.] (ESV)

Numbers 5

[ **9** ] And every offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they bring unto the priest, shall be his. [And every contribution, all the holy donations of the people of Israel, which they bring to the priest, shall be his.] (ESV)

[ **10** ] And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever any man giveth the priest, it shall be his. [Each one shall keep his holy donations: whatever anyone gives to the priest shall be his."] (ESV)

Numbers 5

[ **11** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[ **12** ] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man's wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him,

[ **13** ] And a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and there be no witness against her, neither she be taken with the manner;

[ **14** ] And the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled:

[ **15** ] Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it is an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance.

[ **16** ] And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the LORD:

[ **17** ] And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water:

[ **18** ] And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and uncover the woman's head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which is the jealousy offering: and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that causeth the curse:

[ **19** ] And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness with another instead of thy husband, be thou free from this bitter water that causeth the curse:

[ **20** ] But if thou hast gone aside to another instead of thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee beside thine husband:

[ **21** ] Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, The LORD make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the LORD doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell;

[ **22** ] And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot: And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.

[ **23** ] And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out with the bitter water:

[ **24** ] And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causeth the curse: and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter.

[ **25** ] Then the priest shall take the jealousy offering out of the woman's hand, and shall wave the offering before the LORD, and offer it upon the altar:

[ **26** ] And the priest shall take an handful of the offering, even the memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar, and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water.

[ **27** ] And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her people.

[ **28** ] And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed.

Numbers 6

[ **1** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[ **2** ] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or woman shall separate themselves to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate themselves unto the LORD:

[ **3** ] He shall separate himself from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried.

[ **4** ] All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk.

[ **5** ] All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no rasor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth himself unto the LORD, he shall be holy, and shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow.

[ **6** ] All the days that he separateth himself unto the LORD he shall come at no dead body.

[ **7** ] He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die: because the consecration of his God is upon his head.

[ **8** ] All the days of his separation he is holy unto the LORD.

[ **9** ] And if any man die very suddenly by him, and he hath defiled the head of his consecration; then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave it.

[ **10** ] And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:

[ **11** ] And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and make an atonement for him, for that he sinned by the dead, and shall hallow his head that same day.

[ **12** ] And he shall consecrate unto the LORD the days of his separation, and shall bring a lamb of the first year for a trespass offering: but the days that were before shall be lost, because his separation was defiled.

Numbers 6

[ **13** ] And this is the law of the Nazarite, when the days of his separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:

[ **14** ] And he shall offer his offering unto the LORD, one he lamb of the first year without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for peace offerings,

[ **15** ] And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and wafers of unleavened bread anointed with oil, and their meat [grain] offering, and their drink offerings.

[ **16** ] And the priest shall bring them before the LORD, and shall offer his sin offering, and his burnt offering:

[ **17** ] And he shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, with the basket of unleavened bread: the priest shall offer also his meat [grain] offering, and his drink offering.

[ **18** ] And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and put it in the fire which is under the sacrifice of the peace offerings.

[ **19** ] And the priest shall take the sodden shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them upon the hands of the Nazarite, after the hair of his separation is shaven:

[ **20** ] And the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD: this is holy for the priest, with the wave breast and heave shoulder: and after that the Nazarite may drink wine.

Numbers 6

[ **21** ] This is the law of the Nazarite who hath vowed, and of his offering unto the LORD for his separation, beside that that his hand shall get: according to the vow which he vowed, so he must do after the law of his separation.

Numbers 6

[ **22** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[ **23** ] Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,

[ **24** ] The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:

[ **25** ] The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:

[ **26** ] The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

[ **27** ] And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.

Numbers 7

[ **89** ] And when Moses was gone into the tabernacle of the congregation to speak with him, then he heard the voice of one speaking unto him from off the mercy seat that was upon the ark of testimony, from between the two cherubims: and he spake unto him.

Numbers 9

[ **6** ] And there were certain men, who were defiled by the dead body of a man, that they could not keep the passover on that day: and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day:

[ **7** ] And those men said unto him, We are defiled by the dead body of a man: wherefore are we kept back, that we may not offer an offering of the LORD in his appointed season among the children of Israel?

[ **8** ] And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the LORD will command concerning you.

[ **9** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[ **10** ] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the LORD.

[ **11** ] The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

[ **12** ] They shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break any bone of it: according to all the ordinances of the passover they shall keep it.

[13] But the man that is clean, and is not in a journey, and forbeareth to keep the passover, even the same soul shall be cut off from among his people: because he brought not the offering of the LORD in his appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.

Numbers 9

[ **14** ] And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover unto the LORD; according to the ordinance of the passover, and according to the manner thereof, so shall he do: ye shall have one ordinance, both for the stranger, and for him that was born in the land.

Numbers 10

[ **35** ] And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee.

[ **36** ] And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the many thousands of Israel.

Numbers 11

[ **1** ] And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.

[ **2** ] And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the LORD, the fire was quenched.

Numbers 11

[ **18** ] And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.

[ **19** ] Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;

[ **20** ] But even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the LORD which is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?

Numbers 11

[ **29** ] And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the LORD's people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!

Numbers 12

[ **6** ] And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.

Numbers 12

[ **7** ] My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.

[ **8** ] With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?

[ **9** ] And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed.

[ **10** ] And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.

Numbers 12

[ **13** ] And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee.

[ **14** ] And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in again.

[ **15** ] And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.

Numbers 14

[ **6** ] And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:

[ **7** ] And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.

[ **8** ] If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.

[ **9** ] Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not.

[ **10** ] But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel.

[ **11** ] And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere [before] they believe me, for all the signs which I have shewed among them?

[ **12** ] I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.

Numbers 14

[ **13** ] And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;)

[ **14** ] And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that thou LORD art among this people, that thou LORD art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.

[ **15** ] Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,

[ **16** ] Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness.

[ **17** ] And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,

[ **18** ] The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.

Numbers 14

[ **19** ] Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.

[ **20** ] And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word:

Numbers 14

[ **22** ] Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;

[ **23** ] Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:

[ **24** ] But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.

Numbers 14

[ **26** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

[ **27** ] How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.

[ **28** ] Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:

[ **29** ] Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me,

[ **30** ] Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

[ **31** ] But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.

[ **32** ] But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness.

Numbers 14

[ **33** ] And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.

[ **34** ] After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.

[ **35** ] I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.

[ **36** ] And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander upon the land,

[ **37** ] Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the LORD.

[ **38** ] But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of the men that went to search the land, lived still.

Numbers 14

[ **39** ] And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.

[ **40** ] And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place which the LORD hath promised: for we have sinned.

[ **41** ] And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the LORD? but it shall not prosper.

[ **42** ] Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies.

[ **43** ] For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you.

[ **44** ] But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.

[ **45** ] Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even unto Hormah.

Numbers 15

[ **14** ] And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever be among you in your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD; as ye do, so he shall do.

Numbers 15

[ **15** ] One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD.

[ **16** ] One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.

Numbers 15

[ **22** ] And if ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments, which the LORD hath spoken unto Moses,

[ **23** ] Even all that the LORD hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the LORD commanded Moses, and henceforward among your generations;

[ **24** ] Then it shall be, if ought be committed by ignorance without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour unto the LORD, with his meat [grain] offering, and his drink offering, according to the manner, and one kid of the goats for a sin offering.

[ **25** ] And the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it is ignorance: and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD, and their sin offering before the LORD, for their ignorance:

[ **26** ] And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; seeing all the people were in ignorance.

Numbers 15

[ **27** ] And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering.

[ **28** ] And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the LORD, to make an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him.

Numbers 15

[ **29** ] Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through ignorance, both for him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them.

Numbers 15

[ **30** ] But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously [defiantly], whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

[ **31** ] Because he hath despised the word of the LORD, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him.

Numbers 15

[ **32** ] And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.

[ **33** ] And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.

[ **34** ] And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him.

[ **35** ] And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp.

[ **36** ] And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses.

Numbers 15

[ **37** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[ **38** ] Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes [tassles] in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe [tassle] of the borders a ribband [cord] of blue:

[ **39** ] And it shall be unto you for a fringe [tassle], that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:

[ **40** ] That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God.

[ **41** ] I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD your God.

Numbers 16

[ **1** ] Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men:

[ **2** ] And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown:

[ **3** ] And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD?

[ **4** ] And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face:

[ **5** ] And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even to morrow the LORD will shew who are his, and who is holy; and will cause him to come near unto him: even him whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto him.

[ **6** ] This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;

[ **7** ] And put fire therein, and put incense in them before the LORD to morrow: and it shall be that the man whom the LORD doth choose, he shall be holy: ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.

[ **8** ] And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:

[ **9** ] Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them?

[ **10** ] And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also?

[ **11** ] For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the LORD: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?

[ **12** ] And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which said, We will not come up:

[ **13** ] Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except thou make thyself altogether a prince over us?

[ **14** ] Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.

[ **15** ] And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them.

[ **16** ] And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:

[ **17** ] And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring ye before the LORD every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each of you his censer.

[ **18** ] And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood in the door of the tabernacle of the congregation with Moses and Aaron.

[ **19** ] And Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the congregation.

[ **20** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

[ **21** ] Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.

[ **22** ] And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation?

[ **23** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[ **24** ] Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.

[ **25** ] And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.

[ **26** ] And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.

[ **27** ] So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children.

[ **28** ] And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own mind.

[ **29** ] If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then the LORD hath not sent me.

[ **30** ] But if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the LORD.

[ **31** ] And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them:

[ **32** ] And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.

[ **33** ] They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation.

[ **34** ] And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also.

[ **35** ] And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.

Numbers 16

[ **36** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[ **37** ] Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are hallowed.

[ **38** ] The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them make them broad plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before the LORD, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel. [As for the censers of these men who have sinned at the cost of their lives, let them be made into hammered plates as a covering for the altar, for they offered them before the LORD, and they became holy. Thus they shall be a sign to the people of Israel."] (ESV)

Numbers 16

[ **39** ] And Eleazar the priest took the brasen censers, wherewith they that were burnt had offered; and they were made broad plates for a covering of the altar:

[ **40** ] To be a memorial unto the children of Israel, that no stranger, which is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense before the LORD; that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as the LORD said to him by the hand of Moses.

Numbers 16

[ **41** ] But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of the LORD.

[ **42** ] And it came to pass, when the congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tabernacle of the congregation: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD appeared.

[ **43** ] And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation.

[ **44** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[ **45** ] Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.

[ **46** ] And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the LORD; the plague is begun.

[ **47** ] And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the people.

[ **48** ] And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.

[ **49** ] Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah.

[ **50** ] And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the plague was stayed.

Numbers 18

[ **8** ] And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Behold, I also have given thee the charge of mine heave offerings of all the hallowed things of the children of Israel; unto thee have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to thy sons, by an ordinance for ever.

[ **9** ] This shall be thine of the most holy things, reserved from the fire: every oblation [offering] of theirs, every meat [grain] offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs, which they shall render unto me, shall be most holy for thee and for thy sons.

[ **10** ] In the most holy place shalt thou eat it; every male shall eat it: it shall be holy unto thee.

[ **11** ] And this is thine; the heave offering of their gift, with all the wave offerings of the children of Israel: I have given them unto thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: every one that is clean in thy house shall eat of it.

[ **12** ] All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the wheat, the firstfruits of them which they shall offer unto the LORD, them have I given thee.

[ **13** ] And whatsoever is first ripe in the land, which they shall bring unto the LORD, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thine house shall eat of it.

[ **14** ] Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine.

[ **15** ] Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh, which they bring unto the LORD, whether it be of men or beasts, shall be thine: nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem.

[ **16** ] And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shalt thou redeem, according to thine estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs.

[ **17** ] But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they are holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savour unto the LORD.

[ **18** ] And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are thine.

[ **19** ] All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer unto the LORD, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it is a covenant of salt for ever before the LORD unto thee and to thy seed with thee.

Numbers 18

[ **20** ] And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I am thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel.

Numbers 18

[ **21** ] And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth [tithe] in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.

Numbers 18

[ **22** ] Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.

[ **23** ] But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance.

Numbers 18

[ **24** ] But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.

Numbers 18

[ **25** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[ **26** ] Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD, even a tenth part of the tithe.

[ **27** ] And this your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though it were the corn of the threshingfloor, and as the fulness of the winepress.

[28] Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto the LORD of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and ye shall give thereof the LORD's heave offering to Aaron the priest.

[ **29** ] Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave offering of the LORD, of all the best thereof, even the hallowed part thereof out of it.

[ **30** ] Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye have heaved the best thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto the Levites as the increase of the threshingfloor, and as the increase of the winepress.

[ **31** ] And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households: for it is your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the congregation.

[ **32** ] And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy things of the children of Israel, lest ye die.

Numbers 19

[ **1** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

[ **2** ] This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke:

[ **3** ] And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her forth without the camp, and one shall slay her before his face:

[ **4** ] And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle of her blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation seven times:

[ **5** ] And one shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:

[ **6** ] And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.

[ **7** ] Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the even.

[ **8** ] And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.

[ **9** ] And a man that is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up without the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for a water of separation: it is a purification for sin. ["A man who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer and put them in a ceremonially clean place outside the camp. They are to be kept by the Israelite community for use in the water of cleansing; it is for purification from sin.] (NIV)

Numbers 19

[ **11** ] He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days.

[ **12** ] He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.

Numbers 19

[ **13** ] Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him.

Numbers 19

[ **14** ] This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.

[ **15** ] And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, is unclean.

Numbers 19

[ **16** ] And whosoever toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.

Numbers 19

[ **17** ] And for an unclean person they shall take of the ashes of the burnt heifer of purification for sin, and running water shall be put thereto in a vessel:

[ **18** ] And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that touched a bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a grave:

[ **19** ] And the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even.

Numbers 19

[ **20** ] But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the congregation, because he hath defiled the sanctuary of the LORD: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled upon him; he is unclean.

Numbers 19

[ **21** ] And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them, that he that sprinkleth the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and he that toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean until even.

[ **22** ] And whatsoever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even.

Numbers 20

[ **7** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[ **8** ] Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.

[ **9** ] And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.

[ **10** ] And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?

[ **11** ] And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.

[ **12** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.

Numbers 20

[ **14** ] And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us:

[ **15** ] How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers:

[ **16** ] And when we cried unto the LORD, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border:

Numbers 20

[ **23** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast of the land of Edom, saying,

[ **24** ] Aaron shall be gathered unto his people: for he shall not enter into the land which I have given unto the children of Israel, because ye rebelled against my word at the water of Meribah.

[ **25** ] Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor:

[ **26** ] And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son: and Aaron shall be gathered unto his people, and shall die there.

[ **27** ] And Moses did as the LORD commanded: and they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.

[ **28** ] And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there in the top of the mount: and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mount.

Numbers 21

[ **1** ] And when king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south, heard tell that Israel came by the way of the spies; then he fought against Israel, and took some of them prisoners.

[ **2** ] And Israel vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.

[ **3** ] And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and he called the name of the place Hormah.

Numbers 21

[ **5** ] And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.

[ **6** ] And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.

[ **7** ] Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.

[ **8** ] And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.

[ **9** ] And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.

Numbers 22

[ **9** ] And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men are these with thee?

[ **10** ] And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, saying,

[ **11** ] Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the face of the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out.

[ **12** ] And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed.

Numbers 22

[ **31** ] Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face.

[ **32** ] And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because thy way is perverse before me:

Numbers 23

[ **1** ] And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams.

[ **2** ] And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram.

[ **3** ] And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go: peradventure the LORD will come to meet me: and whatsoever he sheweth me I will tell thee. And he went to an high place.

[ **4** ] And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered upon every altar a bullock and a ram.

[ **5** ] And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.

[ **6** ] And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab.

Numbers 23

[ **19** ] God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

Numbers 23

[ **23** ] Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!

[ **24** ] Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain.

Numbers 23

[ **25** ] And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.

[ **26** ] But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do?

Numbers 24

[ **4** ] He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:

[ **5** ] How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel!

[ **6** ] As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river's side, as the trees of lign aloes which the LORD hath planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters.

[ **7** ] He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.

[ **8** ] God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.

[ **9** ] He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee.

Numbers 25

[ **1** ] And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab.

[ **2** ] And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.

[ **3** ] And Israel joined himself unto Baal-peor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.

[ **4** ] And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel.

[ **5** ] And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baal-peor.

[ **6** ] And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

[ **7** ] And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand;

[ **8** ] And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.

Numbers 25

[ **9** ] And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.

[ **10** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[ **11** ] Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.

[ **12** ] Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:

[ **13** ] And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel.

Numbers 25

[ **16** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[ **17** ] Vex the Midianites, and smite them:

[ **18** ] For they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, which was slain in the day of the plague for Peor's sake.

Numbers 26

[ **52** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[ **53** ] Unto these the land shall be divided for an inheritance according to the number of names.

[ **54** ] To many thou shalt give the more inheritance, and to few thou shalt give the less inheritance: to every one shall his inheritance be given according to those that were numbered of him.

[ **55** ] Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot: according to the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit.

[ **56** ] According to the lot shall the possession thereof be divided between many and few.

Numbers 27

[ **3** ] Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of them that gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah; but died in his own sin, and had no sons.

[ **4** ] Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family, because he hath no son? Give unto us therefore a possession among the brethren of our father.

[ **5** ] And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.

[ **6** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[ **7** ] The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.

Numbers 27

[ **8** ] And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter.

[ **9** ] And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren.

[ **10** ] And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his father's brethren.

[ **11** ] And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of judgment, as the LORD commanded Moses.

Numbers 27

[ **18** ] And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;

[ **19** ] And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.

[ **20** ] And thou shalt put some of thine honour upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.

[ **21** ] And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask counsel for him after the judgment of Urim before the LORD: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.

Numbers 28

[ **1** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[ **2** ] Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My offering, and my bread for my sacrifices made by fire, for a sweet savour unto me, shall ye observe to offer unto me in their due season.

Numbers 28

[ **16** ] And in the fourteenth day of the first month is the passover of the LORD.

[ **17** ] And in the fifteenth day of this month is the feast: seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten.

[ **18** ] In the first day shall be an holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of servile work therein:

Numbers 28

[ **26** ] Also in the day of the firstfruits, when ye bring a new meat [grain] offering unto the LORD, after your weeks be out, ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work:

Numbers 29

[ **1** ] And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work: it is a day of blowing the trumpets unto you.

Numbers 29

[ **7** ] And ye shall have on the tenth day of this seventh month an holy convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls: ye shall not do any work therein:

Numbers 29

[ **12** ] And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work, and ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days:

Numbers 29

[ **35** ] On the eighth day ye shall have a solemn assembly: ye shall do no servile work therein:

Numbers 30

[ **1** ] And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded.

[ **2** ] If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.

Numbers 30

[ **3** ] If a woman also vow a vow unto the LORD, and bind herself by a bond, being in her father's house in her youth;

[ **4** ] And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.

[ **5** ] But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth; not any of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father disallowed her.

Numbers 30

[ **6** ] And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul;

[ **7** ] And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her in the day that he heard it: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.

[ **8** ] But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard it; then he shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips, wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect: and the LORD shall forgive her.

Numbers 30

[ **9** ] But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, wherewith they have bound their souls, shall stand against her.

[ **10** ] And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath;

[ **11** ] And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and disallowed her not: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.

[ **12** ] But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he heard them; then whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband hath made them void; and the LORD shall forgive her.

[ **13** ] Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.

[ **14** ] But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day; then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which are upon her: he confirmeth them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them.

[ **15** ] But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heard them; then he shall bear her iniquity.

Numbers 31

[ **19** ] And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.

[ **20** ] And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood.

Numbers 31

[ **21** ] And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the battle, This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD commanded Moses;

[ **22** ] Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,

[ **23** ] Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the water.

[ **24** ] And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.

Numbers 31

[ **25** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[ **26** ] Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation:

[ **27** ] And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation:

[ **28** ] And levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war which went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep:

[ **29** ] Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for an heave offering of the LORD.

[ **30** ] And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites, which keep the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.

Numbers 31

[ **48** ] And the officers which were over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses:

[ **49** ] And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war which are under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us.

[ **50** ] We have therefore brought an oblation [offering] for the LORD, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD.

[ **51** ] And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels.

[ **52** ] And all the gold of the offering that they offered up to the LORD, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.

[ **53** ] (For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)

[ **54** ] And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tabernacle of the congregation, for a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD.

Numbers 32

[ **1** ] Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle;

[ **2** ] The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spake unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying,

[ **3** ] Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,

[ **4** ] Even the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:

[ **5** ] Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession, and bring us not over Jordan.

[ **6** ] And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?

[ **7** ] And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD hath given them?

Numbers 32

[ **8** ] Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land.

[ **9** ] For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.

[ **10** ] And the LORD's anger was kindled the same time, and he sware, saying,

[ **11** ] Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:

[ **12** ] Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD.

[ **13** ] And the LORD's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed.

Numbers 32

[ **14** ] And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel. [15] For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.

Numbers 32

[ **16** ] And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:

[ **17** ] But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land.

[ **18** ] We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.

[ **19** ] For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward.

[ **20** ] And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed before the LORD to war,

[ **21** ] And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,

[ **22** ] And the land be subdued before the LORD: then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless before the LORD, and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the LORD.

[ **23** ] But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.

[ **24** ] Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.

Numbers 33

[ **50** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,

[ **51** ] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan;

[ **52** ] Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places:

Numbers 33

[ **53** ] And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it.

[ **54** ] And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families: and to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: every man's inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit.

Numbers 33

[ **55** ] But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.

[ **56** ] Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them.

Numbers 34

[ **16** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[ **17** ] These are the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.

Numbers 34

[ **18** ] And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance.

[ **19** ] And the names of the men are these: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.

Numbers 35

[ **1** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,

[ **2** ] Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and ye shall give also unto the Levites suburbs for the cities round about them.

[ **3** ] And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and the suburbs of them shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts.

Numbers 35

[ **6** ] And among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites there shall be six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee thither: and to them ye shall add forty and two cities.

[ **7** ] So all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them shall ye give with their suburbs.

[ **8** ] And the cities which ye shall give shall be of the possession of the children of Israel: from them that have many ye shall give many; but from them that have few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities unto the Levites according to his inheritance which he inheriteth.

Numbers 35

[ **9** ] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[ **10** ] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan;

[ **11** ] Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person at unawares.

[ **12** ] And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment.

[ **13** ] And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye have for refuge.

[ **14** ] Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities of refuge.

[ **15** ] These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that killeth any person unawares may flee thither.

Numbers 35

[ **16** ] And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.

[ **17** ] And if he smite him with throwing a stone, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.

[ **18** ] Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.

Numbers 35

[ **19** ] The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him.

Numbers 35

[ **20** ] But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of wait, that he die;

[ **21** ] Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him.

Numbers 35

[ **22** ] But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon him any thing without laying of wait,

[ **23** ] Or with any stone, wherewith a man may die, seeing him not, and cast it upon him, that he die, and was not his enemy, neither sought his harm:

[ **24** ] Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the revenger of blood according to these judgments:

Numbers 35

[ **25** ] And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall abide in it unto the death of the high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil.

Numbers 35

[ **26** ] But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the city of his refuge, whither he was fled;

[ **27** ] And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood:

[ **28** ] Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the slayer shall return into the land of his possession.

Numbers 35

[ **30** ] Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person to cause him to die.

Numbers 35

[ **31** ] Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death.

Numbers 35

[ **32** ] And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that is fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.

Numbers 35

[ **33** ] So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.

Numbers 35

[ **34** ] Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel.

Numbers 36

[ **2** ] And they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.

[ **3** ] And if they be married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance.

[ **4** ] And when the jubile of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.

[ **5** ] And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well.

[ **6** ] This is the thing which the LORD doth command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry.

[ **7** ] So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.

[ **8** ] And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers.

[ **9** ] Neither shall the inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep himself to his own inheritance.

# DEUTERONOMY

Deuteronomy 1

[ **9** ] And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:

[ **10** ] The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.

[ **11** ] (The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!)

[ **12** ] How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?

[ **13** ] Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.

Deuteronomy 1

[ **14** ] And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do.

[ **15** ] So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes.

Deuteronomy 1

[ **16** ] And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.

Deuteronomy 1

[ **17** ] Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it.

Deuteronomy 1

[ **20** ] And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which the LORD our God doth give unto us.

[ **21** ] Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.

Deuteronomy 1

[ **22** ] And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come.

[ **23** ] And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe:

[ **24** ] And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.

[ **25** ] And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which the LORD our God doth give us.

Deuteronomy 1

[ **26** ] Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God:

[ **27** ] And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the LORD hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.

[ **28** ] Whither shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there.

Deuteronomy 1

[ **29** ] Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.

[ **30** ] The LORD your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;

[ **31** ] And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that the LORD thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place.

[ **32** ] Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God,

[ **33** ] Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day.

Deuteronomy 1

[ **34** ] And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying,

[ **35** ] Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers,

[ **36** ] Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed the LORD.

[ **37** ] Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither.

[ **38** ] But Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.

[ **39** ] Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.

[ **40** ] But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.

Deuteronomy 1

[ **42** ] And the LORD said unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.

[ **43** ] So I spake unto you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and went presumptuously up into the hill.

[ **44** ] And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, even unto Hormah.

Deuteronomy 2

[ **26** ] And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,

[ **27** ] Let me pass through thy land: I will go along by the high way, I will neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left.

[ **28** ] Thou shalt sell me meat [food] for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only I will pass through on my feet;

[ **29** ] (As the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did unto me;) until I shall pass over Jordan into the land which the LORD our God giveth us.

[ **30** ] But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for the LORD thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as appeareth this day.

Deuteronomy 4

[ **1** ] Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you.

[ **2** ] Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

Deuteronomy 4

[ **3** ] Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baal-peor: for all the men that followed Baal-peor, the LORD thy God hath destroyed them from among you.

[ **4** ] But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God are alive every one of you this day.

Deuteronomy 4

[ **7** ] For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the LORD our God is in all things that we call upon him for?

Deuteronomy 4

[ **8** ] And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?

Deuteronomy 4

[ **9** ] Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons;

[ **10** ] Specially the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children.

[ **11** ] And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire unto the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness.

[ **12** ] And the LORD spake unto you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only ye heard a voice.

[ **13** ] And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.

[ **14** ] And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it.

Deuteronomy 4

[ **15** ] Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day that the LORD spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire:

[ **16** ] Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,

[ **17** ] The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air,

[ **18** ] The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth:

[ **19** ] And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.

[ **20** ] But the LORD hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as ye are this day.

Deuteronomy 4

[ **23** ] Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, which the LORD thy God hath forbidden thee.

[ **24** ] For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.

Deuteronomy 4

[ **25** ] When thou shalt beget children, and children's children, and ye shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, and shall do evil in the sight of the LORD thy God, to provoke him to anger:

[ **26** ] I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed.

[ **27** ] And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the LORD shall lead you.

[ **28** ] And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.

[ **29** ] But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.

[ **30** ] When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;

[ **31** ] (For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.

Deuteronomy 4

[ **32** ] For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it?

[ **33** ] Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?

[ **34** ] Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of another nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

[ **35** ] Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD he is God; there is none else beside him.

Deuteronomy 4

[ **36** ] Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee: and upon earth he shewed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his words out of the midst of the fire.

[ **37** ] And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out in his sight with his mighty power out of Egypt;

[ **38** ] To drive out nations from before thee greater and mightier than thou art, to bring thee in, to give thee their land for an inheritance, as it is this day.

[ **39** ] Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.

Deuteronomy 4

[ **40** ] Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, for ever.

Deuteronomy 5

[ **7** ] Thou shalt have none other gods before me.

Deuteronomy 5

[ **8** ] Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth:

[ **9** ] Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,

[ **10** ] And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.

Deuteronomy 5

[ **11** ] Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

Deuteronomy 5

[ **12** ] Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee.

[ **13** ] Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work:

[ **14** ] But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou.

Deuteronomy 5

[ **15** ] And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.

Deuteronomy 5

[ **16** ] Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

Deuteronomy 5

[ **17** ] Thou shalt not kill.

Deuteronomy 5

[ **18** ] Neither shalt thou commit adultery.

Deuteronomy 5

[ **19** ] Neither shalt thou steal.

Deuteronomy 5

[ **20** ] Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour.

Deuteronomy 5

[ **21** ] Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour's wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour's house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbour's.

Deuteronomy 5

[ **29** ] O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!

Deuteronomy 5

[ **32** ] Ye shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.

Deuteronomy 5

[ **33** ] Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.

Deuteronomy 6

[ **1** ] Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it:

[ **2** ] That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.

Deuteronomy 6

[ **3** ] Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.

Deuteronomy 6

[ **4** ] Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:

Deuteronomy 6

[ **5** ] And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

Deuteronomy 6

[ **6** ] And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:

[ **7** ] And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

[ **8** ] And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.

[ **9** ] And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

Deuteronomy 6

[ **10** ] And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not,

[ **11** ] And houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full;

[ **12** ] Then beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

Deuteronomy 6

[ **13** ] Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name.

[ **14** ] Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you;

[ **15** ] (For the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth.

Deuteronomy 6

[ **16** ] Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.

Deuteronomy 6

[ **17** ] Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.

Deuteronomy 6

[ **18** ] And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of the LORD: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers,

[ **19** ] To cast out all thine enemies from before thee, as the LORD hath spoken.

Deuteronomy 6

[ **20** ] And when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD our God hath commanded you?

[ **21** ] Then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt; and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand:

[ **22** ] And the LORD shewed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes:

[ **23** ] And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers.

[ **24** ] And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.

Deuteronomy 6

[ **25** ] And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us.

Deuteronomy 7

[ **6** ] For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.

Deuteronomy 7

[ **7** ] The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:

[ **8** ] But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

Deuteronomy 7

[ **9** ] Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;

Deuteronomy 7

[ **10** ] And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.

Deuteronomy 7

[ **11** ] Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.

[ **12** ] Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:

[ **13** ] And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.

[ **14** ] Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.

[ **15** ] And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee.

Deuteronomy 7

[ **16** ] And thou shalt consume all the people which the LORD thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that will be a snare unto thee.

Deuteronomy 7

[ **17** ] If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?

[ **18** ] Thou shalt not be afraid of them: but shalt well remember what the LORD thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;

Deuteronomy 7

[ **25** ] The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God.

[ **26** ] Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.

Deuteronomy 8

[ **1** ] All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers.

Deuteronomy 8

[ **2** ] And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.

Deuteronomy 8

[ **3** ] And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.

Deuteronomy 8

[ **5** ] Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.

[ **6** ] Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.

Deuteronomy 8

[ **10** ] When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.

Deuteronomy 8

[ **11** ] Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:

[ **12** ] Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;

[ **13** ] And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;

[ **14** ] Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;

[ **15** ] Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;

[ **16** ] Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;

[ **17** ] And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.

[ **18** ] But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.

Deuteronomy 8

[ **19** ] And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.

[ **20** ] As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God.

Deuteronomy 9

[ **1** ] Hear, O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven,

[ **2** ] A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak!

[ **3** ] Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God is he which goeth over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the LORD hath said unto thee.

Deuteronomy 9

[ **4** ] Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee.

[ **5** ] Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Deuteronomy 9

[ **12** ] And the LORD said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.

[ **13** ] Furthermore the LORD spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:

[ **14** ] Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.

Deuteronomy 9

[ **15** ] So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.

[ **16** ] And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the LORD your God, and had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which the LORD had commanded you.

[ **17** ] And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes.

[ **18** ] And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

[ **19** ] For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the LORD was wroth against you to destroy you. But the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also.

[ **20** ] And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also the same time.

[ **21** ] And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, and ground it very small, even until it was as small as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount.

Deuteronomy 10

[ **8** ] At that time the LORD separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day.

[ **9** ] Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren; the LORD is his inheritance, according as the LORD thy God promised him.

Deuteronomy 10

[ **12** ] And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,

[ **13** ] To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?

Deuteronomy 10

[ **17** ] For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:

Deuteronomy 10

[ **18** ] He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.

[ **19** ] Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

Deuteronomy 10

[ **20** ] Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.

Deuteronomy 10

[ **21** ] He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen.

Deuteronomy 11

[ **1** ] Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, alway.

Deuteronomy 11

[ **8** ] Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go to possess it;

[ **9** ] And that ye may prolong your days in the land, which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land that floweth with milk and honey.

Deuteronomy 11

[ **13** ] And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,

[ **14** ] That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.

[ **15** ] And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full.

Deuteronomy 11

[ **16** ] Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;

[ **17** ] And then the LORD's wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you.

Deuteronomy 11

[ **18** ] Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.

Deuteronomy 11

[ **19** ] And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

[ **20** ] And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates:

[ **21** ] That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.

Deuteronomy 11

[ **22** ] For if ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him;

[ **23** ] Then will the LORD drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves.

[ **24** ] Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be.

[ **25** ] There shall no man be able to stand before you: for the LORD your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you.

Deuteronomy 11

[ **26** ] Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;

[ **27** ] A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day:

[ **28** ] And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.

Deuteronomy 12

[ **2** ] Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree:

[ **3** ] And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place. [4] Ye shall not do so unto the LORD your God.

Deuteronomy 12

[ **5** ] But unto the place which the LORD your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come:

[ **6** ] And thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and of your flocks:

[ **7** ] And there ye shall eat before the LORD your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your households, wherein the LORD thy God hath blessed thee.

Deuteronomy 12

[ **10** ] But when ye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which the LORD your God giveth you to inherit, and when he giveth you rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety;

[ **11** ] Then there shall be a place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto the LORD:

[ **12** ] And ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your menservants, and your maidservants, and the Levite that is within your gates; forasmuch as he hath no part nor inheritance with you.

[ **13** ] Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt offerings in every place that thou seest:

[ **14** ] But in the place which the LORD shall choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I command thee.

Deuteronomy 12

[ **15** ] Notwithstanding thou mayest kill and eat flesh in all thy gates, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as of the roebuck, and as of the hart.

[ **16** ] Only ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon the earth as water.

Deuteronomy 12

[ **17** ] Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy wine, or of thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds or of thy flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill offerings, or heave offering of thine hand:

[ **18** ] But thou must eat them before the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates: and thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God in all that thou puttest thine hands unto.

Deuteronomy 12

[ **19** ] Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite as long as thou livest upon the earth.

Deuteronomy 12

[ **23** ] Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh.

[ **24** ] Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water.

[ **25** ] Thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the LORD.

Deuteronomy 12

[ **26** ] Only thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows, thou shalt take, and go unto the place which the LORD shall choose:

[ **27** ] And thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of the LORD thy God: and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of the LORD thy God, and thou shalt eat the flesh.

Deuteronomy 12

[ **29** ] When the LORD thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land;

[ **30** ] Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.

[ **31** ] Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.

Deuteronomy 12

[ **32** ] What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

Deuteronomy 13

[ **1** ] If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,

[ **2** ] And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;

[ **3** ] Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

[ **4** ] Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.

[ **5** ] And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee.

Deuteronomy 13

[ **6** ] If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;

[ **7** ] Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth;

[ **8** ] Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him:

[ **9** ] But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.

[ **10** ] And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

[ **11** ] And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is among you.

Deuteronomy 13

[ **12** ] If thou shalt hear say in one of thy cities, which the LORD thy God hath given thee to dwell there, saying,

[ **13** ] Certain men, the children of Belial, are gone out from among you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known;

[ **14** ] Then shalt thou inquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it be truth, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought among you;

[ **15** ] Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword.

[ **16** ] And thou shalt gather all the spoil of it into the midst of the street thereof, and shalt burn with fire the city, and all the spoil thereof every whit, for the LORD thy God: and it shall be an heap for ever; it shall not be built again.

[ **17** ] And there shall cleave nought of the cursed thing to thine hand: that the LORD may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and shew thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers;

[ **18** ] When thou shalt hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep all his commandments which I command thee this day, to do that which is right in the eyes of the LORD thy God.

Deuteronomy 14

[ **1** ] Ye are the children of the LORD your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.

Deuteronomy 14

[ **2** ] for thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.

Deuteronomy 14

[ **3** ] Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.

[ **4** ] These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,

[ **5** ] The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois.

Deuteronomy 14

[ **6** ] And every beast that parteth the hoof, and cleaveth the cleft into two claws, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, that ye shall eat.

[ **7** ] Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof; as the camel, and the hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; therefore they are unclean unto you.

Deuteronomy 14

[ **8** ] And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcase.

Deuteronomy 14

[ **9** ] These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat:

Deuteronomy 14

[ **11** ] Of all clean birds ye shall eat.

[ **12** ] But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and ossifrage, and the ospray,

[ **13** ] And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind,

[ **14** ] And every raven after his kind,

[ **15** ] And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,

[ **16** ] The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan,

[ **17** ] And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant,

Deuteronomy 14

[ **19** ] And every creeping thing that flieth is unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten.

Deuteronomy 14

[ **20** ] But of all clean fowls ye may eat.

Deuteronomy 14

[ **21** ] Ye shall not eat of any thing that dieth of itself: thou shalt give it unto the stranger that is in thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien: for thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.

Deuteronomy 14

[ **22** ] Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year.

Deuteronomy 14

[ **23** ] And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always.

Deuteronomy 14

[ **24** ] And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from thee, which the LORD thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:

[ **25** ] Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose: [26] And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household,

Deuteronomy 14

[ **27** ] And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.

Deuteronomy 14

[ **28** ] At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates:

[ **29** ] And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.

Deuteronomy 15

[ **1** ] At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release.

[ **2** ] And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor that lendeth ought unto his neighbour shall release it;he shall not exact it of his neighbour, or of his brother; because it is called the LORD's release.

[ **3** ] Of a foreigner thou mayest exact it again: but that which is thine with thy brother thine hand shall release;

[ **4** ] Save when there shall be no poor among you; for the LORD shall greatly bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it:

[ **5** ] Only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all these commandments which I command thee this day.

Deuteronomy 15

[ **6** ] For the LORD thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations,but they shall not reign over thee.

Deuteronomy 15

[ **7** ] If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother:

[ **8** ] But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth.

[ **9** ] Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry unto the LORD against thee, and it be sin unto thee.

[ **10** ] Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.

[ **11** ] For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.

Deuteronomy 15

[ **12** ] And if thy brother, an Hebrew man, or an Hebrew woman , be sold unto thee, and serve thee six years; then in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free from thee.

[ **13** ] And when thou sendest him out free from thee, thou shalt not let him go away empty:

[ **14** ] Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy floor, and out of thy winepress: of that wherewith the LORD thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give unto him.

[ **15** ] And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee: therefore I command thee this thing to day.

Deuteronomy 15

[ **16** ] And it shall be, if he say unto thee, I will not go away from thee; because he loveth thee and thine house, because he is well with thee; [17] Then thou shalt take an aul, and thrust it through his ear unto the door, and he shall be thy servant for ever. And also unto thy maidservant thou shalt do likewise.

Deuteronomy 15

[ **18** ] It shall not seem hard unto thee, when thou sendest him away free from thee; for he hath been worth a double hired servant to thee, in serving thee six years: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all that thou doest.

Deuteronomy 15

[ **19** ] All the firstling males that come of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt sanctify unto the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy bullock, nor shear the firstling of thy sheep.

[ **20** ] Thou shalt eat it before the LORD thy God year by year in the place which the LORD shall choose, thou and thy household.

[ **21** ] And if there be any blemish therein, as if it be lame, or blind, or have any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto the LORD thy God. [22] Thou shalt eat it within thy gates: the unclean and the clean person shall eat it alike, as the roebuck, and as the hart.

Deuteronomy 16

[ **1** ] Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover unto the LORD thy God: for in the month of Abib the LORD thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night.

[ **2** ] Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover unto the LORD thy God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which the LORD shall choose to place his name there.

[ **3** ] Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life.

[ **4** ] And there shall be no leavened bread seen with thee in all thy coast seven days; neither shall there anything of the flesh, which thou sacrificedst the first day at even, remain all night until the morning.

Deuteronomy 16

[ **5** ] Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee:

[ **6** ] But at the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt.

[ **7** ] And thou shalt roast and eat it in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose: and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy tents.

[ **8** ] Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work therein.

Deuteronomy 16

[ **9** ] Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: begin to number the seven weeks from such time as thou beginnest to put the sickle to the corn.

[ **10** ] And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the LORD thy God with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give unto the LORD thy God, according as the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:

[ **11** ] And thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are among you, in the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to place his name there.

[ **12** ] And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.

Deuteronomy 16

[ **13** ] Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine:

[ **14** ] And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates.

[ **15** ] Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD shall choose: because the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the works of thine hands, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.

Deuteronomy 16

[ **16** ] Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the LORD empty:

[ **17** ] Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee.

Deuteronomy 16

[ **18** ] Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they shall judge the people with just judgment.

Deuteronomy 16

[ **19** ] Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.

[ **20** ] That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and inherit the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

Deuteronomy 16

[ **21** ] Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of any trees near unto the altar of the LORD thy God, which thou shalt make thee.

Deuteronomy 16

[ **22** ] Neither shalt thou set thee up any image; which the LORD thy God hateth.

Deuteronomy 17

[ **1** ] Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the LORD thy God any bullock, or sheep, wherein is blemish, or any evilfavouredness: for that is an abomination unto the LORD thy God.

Deuteronomy 17

[ **2** ] If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing his covenant,

[ **3** ] And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded;

[ **4** ] And it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and inquired diligently, and, behold, it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel:

[ **5** ] Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.

Deuteronomy 17

[ **6** ] At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; but at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.

[ **7** ] The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So thou shalt put the evil away from among you.

Deuteronomy 17

[ **8** ] If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within thy gates: then shalt thou arise, and get thee up into the place which the LORD thy God shall choose;

[ **9** ] And thou shalt come unto the priests the Levites, and unto the judge that shall be in those days, and inquire; and they shall shew thee the sentence of judgment:

[ **10** ] And thou shalt do according to the sentence, which they of that place which the LORD shall choose shall shew thee; and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they inform thee:

[ **11** ] According to the sentence of the law which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do: thou shalt not decline from the sentence which they shall shew thee, to the right hand, nor to the left.

Deuteronomy 17

[ **12** ] And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not hearken unto the priest that standeth to minister there before the LORD thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die: and thou shalt put away the evil from Israel.

[ **13** ] And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.

Deuteronomy 17

[ **14** ] When thou art come unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that are about me;

[ **15** ] Thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother.

[ **16** ] But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.

[ **17** ] Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.

Deuteronomy 17

[ **18** ] And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites:

[ **19** ] And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them:

[ **20** ] That his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel.

Deuteronomy 18

[ **1** ] The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance.

[ **2** ] Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the LORD is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them.

Deuteronomy 18

[ **3** ] And this shall be the priest's due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep; and they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw.

[ **4** ] The firstfruit also of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him.

[ **5** ] For the LORD thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons for ever.

Deuteronomy 18

[ **6** ] And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind unto the place which the LORD shall choose;

[ **7** ] Then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his brethren the Levites do, which stand there before the LORD.

[ **8** ] They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony.

Deuteronomy 18

[ **9** ] When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.

[ **10** ] There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,

[ **11** ] Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.

[ **12** ] For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.

[ **13** ] Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.

[ **14** ] For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.

Deuteronomy 18

[ **18** ] I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.

[ **19** ] And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.

Deuteronomy 18

[ **20** ] But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.

Deuteronomy 18

[ **21** ] And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?

[ **22** ] When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.

Deuteronomy 19

[ **1** ] When the LORD thy God hath cut off the nations, whose land the LORD thy God giveth thee, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their cities, and in their houses;

[ **2** ] Thou shalt separate three cities for thee in the midst of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.

[ **3** ] Thou shalt prepare thee a way, and divide the coasts of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to inherit, into three parts, that every slayer may flee thither.

Deuteronomy 19

[ **4** ] And this is the case of the slayer, which shall flee thither, that he may live: Whoso killeth his neighbour ignorantly, whom he hated not in time past;

[ **5** ] As when a man goeth into the wood with his neighbour to hew wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and the head slippeth from the helve, and lighteth upon his neighbour, that he die; he shall flee unto one of those cities, and live:

[ **6** ] Lest the avenger of the blood pursue the slayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and slay him; whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in time past.

Deuteronomy 19

[ **8** ] And if the LORD thy God enlarge thy coast, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, and give thee all the land which he promised to give unto thy fathers;

[ **9** ] If thou shalt keep all these commandments to do them, which I command thee this day, to love the LORD thy God, and to walk ever in his ways; then shalt thou add three cities more for thee, beside these three:

[ **10** ] That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and so blood be upon thee.

Deuteronomy 19

[ **11** ] But if any man hate his neighbour, and lie in wait for him, and rise up against him, and smite him mortally that he die, and fleeth into one of these cities:

[ **12** ] Then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die.

[ **13** ] Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with thee.

Deuteronomy 19

[ **14** ] Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour's landmark, which they of old time have set in thine inheritance, which thou shalt inherit in the land that the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.

Deuteronomy 19

[ **15** ] One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.

Deuteronomy 19

[ **16** ] If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that which is wrong;

[ **17** ] Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days;

[ **18** ] And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother;

[ **19** ] Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you.

[ **20** ] And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among you.

[ **21** ] And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

Deuteronomy 20

[ **1** ] When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, and a people more than thou, be not afraid of them: for the LORD thy God is with thee, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

[ **2** ] And it shall be, when ye are come nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people,

[ **3** ] And shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day unto battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them;

[ **4** ] For the LORD your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.

Deuteronomy 20

[ **5** ] And the officers shall speak unto the people, saying, What man is there that hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it? let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man dedicate it.

[ **6** ] And what man is he that hath planted a vineyard, and hath not yet eaten of it? let him also go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man eat of it.

[ **7** ] And what man is there that hath betrothed a wife, and hath not taken her? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man take her.

Deuteronomy 20

[ **8** ] And the officers shall speak further unto the people, and they shall say, What man is there that is fearful and fainthearted? let him go and return unto his house, lest his brethren's heart faint as well as his heart.

[ **9** ] And it shall be, when the officers have made an end of speaking unto the people, that they shall make captains of the armies to lead the people.

Deuteronomy 20

[ **10** ] When thou comest nigh unto a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace unto it.

[ **11** ] And it shall be, if it make thee answer of peace, and open unto thee, then it shall be, that all the people that is found therein shall be tributaries unto thee, and they shall serve thee.

[ **12** ] And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it:

[ **13** ] And when the LORD thy God hath delivered it into thine hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword:

[ **14** ] But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which the LORD thy God hath given thee.

[ **15** ] Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations.

Deuteronomy 20

[ **16** ] But of the cities of these people, which the LORD thy God doth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth:

[ **17** ] But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath **commanded thee:**

**[18** ] That they teach you not to do after all their abominations, which they have done unto their gods; so should ye sin against the LORD your God.

Deuteronomy 20

[ **19** ] When thou shalt besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by forcing an axe against them: for thou mayest eat of them, and thou shalt not cut them down (for the tree of the field is man's life) to employ them in the siege:

[ **20** ] Only the trees which thou knowest that they be not trees for meat [food], thou shalt destroy and cut them down; and thou shalt build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee, until it be subdued.

Deuteronomy 21

[ **1** ] If one be found slain in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it, lying in the field, and it be not known who hath slain him:

[ **2** ] Then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth, and they shall measure unto the cities which are round about him that is slain:

[ **3** ] And it shall be, that the city which is next unto the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take an heifer, which hath not been wrought with, and which hath not drawn in the yoke;

[ **4** ] And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer unto a rough valley, which is neither eared nor sown, and shall strike off the heifer's neck there in the valley:

[ **5** ] And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them the LORD thy God hath chosen to minister unto him, and to bless in the name of the LORD; and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be tried:

[ **6** ] And all the elders of that city, that are next unto the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded in the valley:

[ **7** ] And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it.

[ **8** ] Be merciful, O LORD, unto thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood unto thy people of Israel's charge. And the blood shall be forgiven them.

[ **9** ] So shalt thou put away the guilt of innocent blood from among you, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the LORD.

Deuteronomy 21

[ **10** ] When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and the LORD thy God hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive,

[ **11** ] And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife;

[ **12** ] Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house; and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails;

[ **13** ] And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife.

[ **14** ] And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money, thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her.

Deuteronomy 21

[ **15** ] If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have born him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the firstborn son be hers that was hated:

[ **16** ] Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit that which he hath, that he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated, which is indeed the firstborn:

[ **17** ] But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated for the firstborn, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath: for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his.

Deuteronomy 21

[ **18** ] If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them:

[ **19** ] Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;

[ **20** ] And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.

[ **21** ] And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

Deuteronomy 21

[ **22** ] And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree:

[ **23** ] His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God;) that thy land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.

Deuteronomy 22

[ **1** ] Thou shalt not see the brother's ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again unto thy brother.

[ **2** ] And if thy brother be not nigh unto thee, or if thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it unto thine own house, and it shall be with thee until thy brother seek after it, and thou shalt restore it to him again.

[ **3** ] In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thou do with his raiment; and with all lost thing of thy brother's, which he hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not hide thyself.

Deuteronomy 22

[ **4** ] Thou shalt not see thy brother's ass or his ox fall down by the way, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely help him to lift them up again.

Deuteronomy 22

[ **5** ] The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.

[ **6** ] If a bird's nest chance to be before thee in the way in any tree, or on the ground, whether they be young ones, or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the dam with the young:

[ **7** ] But thou shalt in any wise let the dam go, and take the young to thee; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days.

[ **13** ] If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her,

[ **14** ] And give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid:

[ **15** ] Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel's virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate:

[ **16** ] And the damsel's father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;

[ **17** ] And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.

[ **18** ] And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him;

[ **19** ] And they shall amerce him in an hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.

[ **20** ] But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel:

[ **21** ] Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.

[ **24** ] Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.

Deuteronomy 22

[ **25** ] But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die:

[ **26** ] But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this matter:

[ **27** ] For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her.

Deuteronomy 22

[ **28** ] If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;

[ **13** ] And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee:

[ **1** ] And it shall be, when thou art come in unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and possessest it, and dwellest therein;

[ **2** ] That thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name there.

[ **3** ] And thou shalt go unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say unto him, I profess this day unto the LORD thy God, that I am come unto the country which the LORD sware unto our fathers for to give us.

[ **4** ] And the priest shall take the basket out of thine hand, and set it down before the altar of the LORD thy God.

[ **5** ] And thou shalt speak and say before the LORD thy God, A Syrian ready to perish was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous:

[ **6** ] And the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage:

[ **7** ] And when we cried unto the LORD God of our fathers, the LORD heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour, and our oppression:

[ **8** ] And the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders:

[ **9** ] And he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, even a land that floweth with milk and honey.

[ **10** ] And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land, which thou, O LORD, hast given me. And thou shalt set it before the LORD thy God, and worship before the LORD thy God:

[ **11** ] And thou shalt rejoice in every good thing which the LORD thy God hath given unto thee, and unto thine house, thou, and the Levite, and the stranger that is among you.

Deuteronomy 26

[ **12** ] When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled;

[ **13** ] Then thou shalt say before the LORD thy God, I have brought away the hallowed things out of mine house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandments which thou hast commanded me: I have not transgressed thy commandments, neither have I forgotten them:

[ **14** ] I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I taken away ought thereof for any unclean use, nor given ought thereof for the dead: but I have hearkened to the voice of the LORD my God, and have done according to all that thou hast commanded me.

[ **15** ] Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the land which thou hast given us, as thou swarest unto our fathers, a land that floweth with milk and honey.

Deuteronomy 26

[ **16** ] This day the LORD thy God hath commanded thee to do these statutes and judgments: thou shalt therefore keep and do them with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.

Deuteronomy 26

[ **17** ] Thou hast avouched the LORD this day to be thy God, and to walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and to hearken unto his voice:

Deuteronomy 26

[ **18** ] And the LORD hath avouched thee this day to be his peculiar people, as he hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keep all his commandments;

[ **19** ] And to make thee high above all nations which he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honour; and that thou mayest be an holy people unto the LORD thy God, as he hath spoken.

Deuteronomy 27

[ **5** ] And there shalt thou build an altar unto the LORD thy God, an altar of stones: thou shalt not lift up any iron tool upon them.

Deuteronomy 27

[ **14** ] And the Levites shall speak, and say unto all the men of Israel with a loud voice,

[ **15** ] Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image, an abomination unto the LORD, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and putteth it in a secret place. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen.

Deuteronomy 27

[ **16** ] Cursed be he that setteth light by his father or his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen.

Deuteronomy 27

[ **17** ] Cursed be he that removeth his neighbour's landmark. And all the people shall say, Amen.

Deuteronomy 27

[ **18** ] Cursed be he that maketh the blind to wander out of the way. And all the people shall say, Amen.

Deuteronomy 27

[ **19** ] Cursed be he that perverteth the judgment of the stranger, fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall say, Amen.

Deuteronomy 27

[ **20** ] Cursed be he that lieth with his father's wife; because he uncovereth his father's skirt. And all the people shall say, Amen.

Deuteronomy 27

[ **21** ] Cursed be he that lieth with any manner of beast. And all the people shall say, Amen.

Deuteronomy 27

[ **22** ] Cursed be he that lieth with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen.

Deuteronomy 27

[ **23** ] Cursed be he that lieth with his mother in law. And all the people shall say, Amen.

Deuteronomy 27

[ **24** ] Cursed be he that smiteth his neighbour secretly. And all the people shall say, Amen.

Deuteronomy 27

[ **25** ] Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen.

Deuteronomy 27

[ **26** ] Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen.

Deuteronomy 28

[ **1** ] And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:

Deuteronomy 28

[ **2** ] And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.

[ **3** ] Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.

[ **4** ] Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.

[ **5** ] Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.

[ **6** ] Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.

[ **7** ] The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.

[ **8** ] The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

[ **9** ] The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways.

[ **10** ] And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee.

[ **11** ] And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee.

[ **12** ] The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.

[ **13** ] And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:

[ **14** ] And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

Deuteronomy 28

[ **15** ] But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:

[ **16** ] Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field.

[ **17** ] Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store.

[ **18** ] Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.

[ **19** ] Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out.

[ **20** ] The LORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me.

[ **21** ] The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it.

[ **22** ] The LORD shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish.

[ **23** ] And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron.

[ **24** ] The LORD shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed.

[ **25** ] The LORD shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.

[ **26** ] And thy carcase shall be meat [food] unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away.

[ **27** ] The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed.

[ **28** ] The LORD shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart:

[ **29** ] And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee.

[ **30** ] Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof.

[ **31** ] Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof: thine ass shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue them.

[ **32** ] Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long: and there shall be no might in thine hand.

[ **33** ] The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway:

[ **34** ] So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.

[ **35** ] The LORD shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head.

[ **36** ] The LORD shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone.

[ **37** ] And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee.

[ **38** ] Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather but little in; for the locust shall consume it.

[ **39** ] Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt neither drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them.

[ **40** ] Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; for thine olive shall cast his fruit.

[ **41** ] Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity.

[ **42** ] All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume.

[ **43** ] The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low.

[ **44** ] He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.

[ **45** ] Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:

[ **46** ] And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.

[ **47** ] Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;

[ **48** ] Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.

[ **49** ] The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand;

[ **50** ] A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young:

[ **51** ] And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed: which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee.

[ **52** ] And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the LORD thy God hath given thee.

[ **53** ] And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee:

[ **54** ] So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave:

[ **55** ] So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates.

[ **56** ] The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter,

[ **57** ] And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.

[ **58** ] If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD;

[ **59** ] Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.

[ **60** ] Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.

[ **61** ] Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.

[ **62** ] And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God.

[ **63** ] And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.

[ **64** ] And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.

[ **65** ] And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:

[ **66** ] And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life:

[ **67** ] In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.

[ **68** ] And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.

Deuteronomy 29

[ **2** ] And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land;

[ **3** ] The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles:

[ **4** ] Yet the LORD hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day.

Deuteronomy 29

[ **5** ] And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot.

[ **6** ] Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink: that ye might know that I am the LORD your God.

Deuteronomy 29

[ **9** ] Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do.

Deuteronomy 29

[ **10** ] Ye stand this day all of you before the LORD your God; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with all the men of Israel,

[ **11** ] Your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water:

[ **12** ] That thou shouldest enter into covenant with the LORD thy God, and into his oath, which the LORD thy God maketh with thee this day:

[ **13** ] That he may establish thee to day for a people unto himself, and that he may be unto thee a God, as he hath said unto thee, and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

[ **14** ] Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath;

[ **15** ] But with him that standeth here with us this day before the LORD our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day:

Deuteronomy 29

[ **16** ] (For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we came through the nations which ye passed by;

[ **17** ] And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them:)

[ **18** ] Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;

[ **19** ] And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:

[ **20** ] The LORD will not spare him, but then the anger of the LORD and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven.

[ **21** ] And the LORD shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law:

[ **22** ] So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the LORD hath laid upon it;

[ **23** ] And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:

[ **24** ] Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger?

[ **25** ] Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt:

[ **26** ] For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not given unto them:

[ **27** ] And the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book:

[ **28** ] And the LORD rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.

Deuteronomy 29

[ **29** ] The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.

Deuteronomy 30

[ **1** ] And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee,

[ **2** ] And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul;

[ **3** ] That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee.

[ **4** ] If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee:

[ **5** ] And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.

[ **6** ] And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.

[ **7** ] And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee.

[ **8** ] And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day.

[ **9** ] And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:

[ **10** ] If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.

Deuteronomy 30

[ **11** ] For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.

[ **12** ] It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?

[ **13** ] Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?

[ **14** ] But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.

Deuteronomy 30

[ **15** ] See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;

[ **16** ] In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.

[ **17** ] But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;

[ **18** ] I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it.

[ **19** ] I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

[ **20** ] That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

Deuteronomy 31

[ **1** ] And Moses went and spake these words unto all Israel.

[ **2** ] And he said unto them, I am an hundred and twenty years old this day; I can no more go out and come in: also the LORD hath said unto me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan.

[ **3** ] The LORD thy God, he will go over before thee, and he will destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt possess them: and Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as the LORD hath said.

[ **4** ] And the LORD shall do unto them as he did to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorites, and unto the land of them, whom he destroyed.

[ **5** ] And the LORD shall give them up before your face, that ye may do unto them according unto all the commandments which I have commanded you.

[ **6** ] Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

Deuteronomy 31

[ **9** ] And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it unto the priests the sons of Levi, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and unto all the elders of Israel.

[ **10** ] And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles,

[ **11** ] When all Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing.

[ **12** ] Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law:

[ **13** ] And that their children, which have not known any thing, may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.

Deuteronomy 32

[ **4** ] He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.

Deuteronomy 32

[ **5** ] They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.

[ **6** ] Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?

Deuteronomy 32

[ **9** ] For the LORD's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.

Deuteronomy 32

[ **10** ] He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.

[ **11** ] As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:

[ **12** ] So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.

[ **13** ] He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;

[ **14** ] Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.

[ **15** ] But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.

[ **16** ] They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger.

[ **17** ] They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.

[ **18** ] Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.

[ **19** ] And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.

[ **20** ] And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith.

[ **21** ] They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

[ **22** ] For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.

[ **23** ] I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them.

[ **24** ] They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.

[ **25** ] The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.

[ **26** ] I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:

[ **27** ] Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the LORD hath not done all this.

[ **28** ] For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.

Deuteronomy 32

[ **29** ] O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!

[ **30** ] How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up?

Deuteronomy 32

[ **35** ] To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.

Deuteronomy 32

[ **36** ] For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left.

Deuteronomy 32

[ **37** ] And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,

[ **38** ] Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.

Deuteronomy 32

[ **39** ] See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.

Deuteronomy 32

[ **40** ] For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever.

[ **41** ] If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.

[ **42** ] I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.

Deuteronomy 32

[ **43** ] Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.

Deuteronomy 32

[ **45** ] And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel:

[ **46** ] And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.

[ **47** ] For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.

Deuteronomy 33

[ **8** ] And of Levi he said, Let thy Thummim and thy Urim be with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, and with whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;

[ **9** ] Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not seen him; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own children: for they have observed thy word, and kept thy covenant.

[ **10** ] They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar.

[ **11** ] Bless, LORD, his substance, and accept the work of his hands: smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not again.

Deuteronomy 33

[ **29** ] Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.

Deuteronomy 34

[ **9** ] And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the LORD commanded Moses.

# JOSHUA

Joshua 1

[ **1** ] Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,

[ **2** ] Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.

[ **3** ] Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.

[ **4** ] From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.

[ **5** ] There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

[ **6** ] Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.

[ **7** ] Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.

[ **8** ] This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

[ **9** ] Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

Joshua 2

[ **24** ] And they said unto Joshua, Truly the LORD hath delivered into our hands all the land; for even all the inhabitants of the country do faint because of us.

Joshua 4

[ **1** ] And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over Jordan, that the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,

[ **2** ] Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man,

[ **3** ] And command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst of Jordan, out of the place where the priests' feet stood firm, twelve stones, and ye shall carry them over with you, and leave them in the lodging place, where ye shall lodge this night.

[ **4** ] Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of every tribe a man:

[ **5** ] And Joshua said unto them, Pass over before the ark of the LORD your God into the midst of Jordan, and take ye up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according unto the number of the tribes of the children of Israel:

[ **6** ] That this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean ye by these stones?

[ **7** ] Then ye shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it passed over Jordan, the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever.

Joshua 4

[ **20** ] And those twelve stones, which they took out of Jordan, did Joshua pitch in Gilgal.

[ **21** ] And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones?

[ **22** ] Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.

[ **23** ] For the LORD your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were gone over:

[ **24** ] That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the LORD, that it is mighty: that ye might fear the LORD your God for ever.

Joshua 5

[ **6** ] For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not shew them the land, which the LORD sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey.

Joshua 5

[ **13** ] And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?

[ **14** ] And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?

[ **15** ] And the captain of the LORD's host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.

Joshua 6

[ **16** ] And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city.

[ **17** ] And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.

[ **18** ] And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.

[ **19** ] But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are consecrated unto the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD.

Joshua 6

[ **20** ] So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.

[ **21** ] And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.

Joshua 6

[ **26** ] And Joshua adjured them at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: he shall lay the foundation thereof in his firstborn, and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.

Joshua 7

[ **1** ] But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel.

Joshua 7

[ **2** ] And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth-aven, on the east side of Bethel, and spake unto them, saying, Go up and view the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai.

[ **3** ] And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; and make not all the people to labour thither; for they are but few.

[ **4** ] So there went up thither of the people about three thousand men: and they fled before the men of Ai.

[ **5** ] And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men: for they chased them from before the gate even unto Shebarim, and smote them in the going down: wherefore the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.

[ **6]** And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the LORD until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads.

[ **7** ] And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord GOD, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? would to God we had been content, and dwelt on the other side Jordan!

[ **8** ] O Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies!

[ **9** ] For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of it, and shall environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do unto thy great name?

[ **10** ] And the LORD said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face?

[ **11** ] Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own stuff.

[ **12** ] Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.

Joshua 7

[ **15** ] And it shall be, that he that is taken with the accursed thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he hath: because he hath transgressed the covenant of the LORD, and because he hath wrought folly in Israel.

Joshua 7

[ **19** ] And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the LORD God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me now what thou hast done; hide it not from me.

[ **20** ] And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:

[ **21** ] When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.

[ **22** ] So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it.

[ **23** ] And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel, and laid them out before the LORD.

[ **24** ] And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them unto the valley of Achor.

[ **25** ] And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones.

[ **26** ] And they raised over him a great heap of stones unto this day. So the LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto this day.

Joshua 8

[ **27** ] Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took for a prey unto themselves, according unto the word of the LORD which he commanded Joshua.

[ **28** ] And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it an heap for ever, even a desolation unto this day.

Joshua 9

[ **1** ] And it came to pass, when all the kings which were on this side Jordan, in the hills, and in the valleys, and in all the coasts of the great sea over against Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard thereof;

[ **2** ] That they gathered themselves together, to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord.

[ **3** ] And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and to Ai,

[ **4** ] They did work wilily, and went and made as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their asses, and wine bottles, old, and rent, and bound up;

[ **5** ] And old shoes and clouted upon their feet, and old garments upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry and mouldy.

[ **6** ] And they went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and said unto him, and to the men of Israel, We be come from a far country: now

[ **7** ] And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, Peradventure ye dwell among us; and how shall we make a league with you?

[ **8** ] And they said unto Joshua, We are thy servants. And Joshua said unto them, Who are ye? and from whence come ye?

[ **9** ] And they said unto him, From a very far country thy servants are come because of the name of the LORD thy God: for we have heard the fame of him, and all that he did in Egypt,

[ **10** ] And all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites, that were beyond Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, which was at Ashtaroth.

[ **11** ] Wherefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spake to us, saying, Take victuals with you for the journey, and go to meet them, and say unto them, We are your servants: therefore now make ye a league with us.

[ **12** ] This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go unto you; but now, behold, it is dry, and it is mouldy:

[ **13** ] And these bottles of wine, which we filled, were new; and, behold, they be rent: and these our garments and our shoes are become old by reason of the very long journey.

[ **14** ] And the men took of their victuals, and asked not counsel at the mouth of the LORD.

[ **15** ] And Joshua made peace with them, and made a league with them, to let them live: and the princes of the congregation sware unto them.

[ **16** ] And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had made a league with them, that they heard that they were their neighbours, and that they dwelt among them.

[ **17** ] And the children of Israel journeyed, and came unto their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjath-jearim.

[ **18** ] And the children of Israel smote them not, because the princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the princes.

[ **19** ] But all the princes said unto all the congregation, We have sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel: now therefore we may not touch them.

[ **20** ] This we will do to them; we will even let them live, lest wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we sware unto them.

[ **21** ] And the princes said unto them, Let them live; but let them be hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation; as the princes had promised them.

[ **22** ] And Joshua called for them, and he spake unto them, saying, Wherefore have ye beguiled us, saying, We are very far from you; when ye dwell among us?

[ **23** ] Now therefore ye are cursed, and there shall none of you be freed from being bondmen, and hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God.

[ **24** ] And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that the LORD thy God commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you, therefore we were sore afraid of our lives because of you, and have done this thing.

[ **25** ] And now, behold, we are in thine hand: as it seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us, do.

[ **26** ] And so did he unto them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slew them not.

[ **27** ] And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the LORD, even unto this day, in the place which he should choose.

Joshua 10

[ **1** ] Now it came to pass, when Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem had heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;

[ **2** ] That they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all the men thereof were mighty.

[ **3** ] Wherefore Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying,

[ **4** ] Come up unto me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon: for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.

[ **5** ] Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it.

[ **6** ] And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us.

[ **7** ] So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour.

[ **8** ] And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thine hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee.

[ **9** ] Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, and went up from Gilgal all night.

[ **10** ] And the LORD discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up to Beth-horon, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah.

[ **11** ] And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Beth-horon, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.

[ **12** ] Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.

[ **13** ] And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.

Joshua 10

[ **24** ] And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the captains of the men of war which went with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them.

[ **25** ] And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the LORD do to all your enemies against whom ye fight.

Joshua 10

[ **40** ] So Joshua smote all the country of the hills, and of the south, and of the vale, and of the springs, and all their kings: he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD God of Israel commanded.

[ **41** ] And Joshua smote them from Kadesh-barnea even unto Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon.

[ **42** ] And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time, because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel.

Joshua 11

[ **14** ] And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, the children of Israel took for a prey unto themselves; but every man they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, neither left they any to breathe.

Joshua 11

[ **19** ] There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon: all other they took in battle.

[ **20** ] For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that he might destroy them utterly, and that they might have no favour, but that he might destroy them, as the LORD commanded Moses.

Joshua 11

[ **23** ] So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the LORD said unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from war.

Joshua 14

[ **1** ] And these are the countries which the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed for inheritance to them.

[ **2** ] By lot was their inheritance, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half tribe.

[ **3** ] For Moses had given the inheritance of two tribes and an half tribe on the other side Jordan: but unto the Levites he gave none inheritance among them.

[ **4** ] For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: therefore they gave no part unto the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell in, with their suburbs for their cattle and for their substance.

[ **5** ] As the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did, and they divided the land.

Joshua 14

[ **10** ] And now, behold, the LORD hath kept me alive, as he said, these forty and five years, even since the LORD spake this word unto Moses, while the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness: and now, lo, I am this day fourscore and five years old.

[ **11** ] As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in.

[ **12** ] Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the LORD spake in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims were there, and that the cities were great and fenced: if so be the LORD will be with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, as the LORD said.

[ **13** ] And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance.

[ **14** ] Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day, because that he wholly followed the LORD God of Israel.

Joshua 17

[ **1** ] There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the firstborn of Joseph; to wit, for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.

Joshua 17

[ **12** ] Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.

[ **13** ] Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute; but did not utterly drive them out.

Joshua 17

[ **14** ] And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me but one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath blessed me hitherto?

[ **15** ] And Joshua answered them, If thou be a great people, then get thee up to the wood country, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be too narrow for thee.

[ **16** ] And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both they who are of Beth-shean and her towns, and they who are of the valley of Jezreel.

[ **17** ] And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great power: thou shalt not have one lot only:

[ **18** ] But the mountain shall be thine; for it is a wood, and thou shalt cut it down: and the outgoings of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, and though they be strong.

Joshua 18

[ **3** ] And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long are ye slack to go to possess the land, which the LORD God of your fathers hath given you?

Joshua 18

[ **6** ] Ye shall therefore describe the land into seven parts, and bring the description hither to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.

[ **7** ] But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance: and Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance beyond Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them.

Joshua 18

[ **8** ] And the men arose, and went away: and Joshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and come again to me, that I may here cast lots for you before the LORD in Shiloh.

[ **9** ] And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven parts in a book, and came again to Joshua to the host at Shiloh.

[ **10** ] And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD: and there Joshua divided the land unto the children of Israel according to their divisions.

Joshua 20

[ **1** ] The LORD also spake unto Joshua, saying,

[ **2** ] Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Appoint out for you cities of refuge, whereof I spake unto you by the hand of Moses:

[ **3** ] That the slayer that killeth any person unawares and unwittingly may flee thither: and they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood.

[ **4** ] And when he that doth flee unto one of those cities shall stand at the entering of the gate of the city, and shall declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city, they shall take him into the city unto them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them.

[ **5** ] And if the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not deliver the slayer up into his hand; because he smote his neighbour unwittingly, and hated him not beforetime.

[ **6** ] And he shall dwell in that city, until he stand before the congregation for judgment, and until the death of the high priest that shall be in those days: then shall the slayer return, and come unto his own city, and unto his own house, unto the city from whence he fled.

Joshua 21

[ **43** ] And the LORD gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein.

[ **44** ] And the LORD gave them rest round about, according to all that he sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand.

[ **45** ] There failed not ought of any good thing which the LORD had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.

Joshua 22

[ **2** ] And said unto them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you:

[ **3** ] Ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of the LORD your God.

[ **4** ] And now the LORD your God hath given rest unto your brethren, as he promised them: therefore now return ye, and get you unto your tents, and unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the other side Jordan.

[ **5** ] But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.

Joshua 22

[ **8** ] And he spake unto them, saying, Return with much riches unto your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with brass, and with iron, and with very much raiment: divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren.

Joshua 22

[ **17** ] Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we are not cleansed until this day, although there was a plague in the congregation of the LORD,

[ **18** ] But that ye must turn away this day from following the LORD? and it will be, seeing ye rebel to day against the LORD, that to morrow he will be wroth with the whole congregation of Israel.

Joshua 22

[ **19** ] Notwithstanding, if the land of your possession be unclean, then pass ye over unto the land of the possession of the LORD, wherein the LORD's tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession among us: but rebel not against the LORD, nor rebel against us, in building you an altar beside the altar of the LORD our God.

[ **20** ] Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? and that man perished not alone in his iniquity.

Joshua 22

[ **29** ] God forbid that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn this day from following the LORD, to build an altar for burnt offerings, for meat [grain] offerings, or for sacrifices, beside the altar of the LORD our God that is before his tabernacle.

Joshua 23

[ **7** ] That ye come not among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto them:

[ **8** ] But cleave unto the LORD your God, as ye have done unto this day.

Joshua 23

[ **9** ] For the LORD hath driven out from before you great nations and strong: but as for you, no man hath been able to stand before you unto this day.

[ **10** ] One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the LORD your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as he hath promised you.

[ **11** ] Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love the LORD your God.

Joshua 23

[ **12** ] Else if ye do in any wise go back, and cleave unto the remnant of these nations, even these that remain among you, and shall make marriages with them, and go in unto them, and they to you:

[ **13** ] Know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no more drive out any of these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.

Joshua 23

[ **14** ] And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing hath failed thereof.

[ **15** ] Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all good things are come upon you, which the LORD your God promised you; so shall the LORD bring upon you all evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.

[ **16** ] When ye have transgressed the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them; then shall the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given unto you.

Joshua 24

[ **7** ] And when they cried unto the LORD, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes have seen what I have done in Egypt: and ye dwelt in the wilderness a long season.

Joshua 24

[ **12** ] And I sent the hornet before you, which drave them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; but not with thy sword, nor with thy bow.

Joshua 24

[ **13** ] And I have given you a land for which ye did not labour, and cities which ye built not, and ye dwell in them; of the vineyards and oliveyards which ye planted not do ye eat.

Joshua 24

[ **14** ] Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD.

Joshua 24

[ **16** ] And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should forsake the LORD, to serve other gods;

[ **17** ] For the LORD our God, he it is that brought us up and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and which did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the people through whom we passed:

[ **18** ] And the LORD drave out from before us all the people, even the Amorites which dwelt in the land: therefore will we also serve the LORD; for he is our God.

Joshua 24

[ **20** ] If ye forsake the LORD, and serve strange gods, then he will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you good.

Joshua 24

[ **23** ] Now therefore put away, said he, the strange gods which are among you, and incline your heart unto the LORD God of Israel.

Joshua 24

[ **32** ] And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in a parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for an hundred pieces of silver: and it became the inheritance of the children of Joseph.

# JUDGES

Judges 2

[ **1** ] And an angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you.

[ **2** ] And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice: why have ye done this?

[ **3** ] Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.

[ **4** ] And it came to pass, when the angel of the LORD spake these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.

[ **5** ] And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there unto the LORD.

Judges 2

[ **10** ] And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.

[ **11** ] And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim:

[ **12** ] And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD to anger.

[ **13** ] And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtaroth.

[ **14** ] And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.

[ **15** ] Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had said, and as the LORD had sworn unto them: and they were greatly distressed.

[ **16** ] Nevertheless the LORD raised up judges, which delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.

[ **17** ] And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the LORD; but they did not so.

[ **18** ] And when the LORD raised them up judges, then the LORD was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented the LORD because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them.

[ **19** ] And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way.

[ **20** ] And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and he said, Because that this people hath transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice;

[ **21** ] I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died:

[ **22** ] That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.

[ **23** ] Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.

Judges 3

[ **6** ] And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.

[ **7** ] And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgat the LORD their God, and served Baalim and the groves.

[ **8** ] Therefore the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Chushan-rishathaim eight years.

Judges 3

[ **9** ] And when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.

[ **10** ] And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the LORD delivered Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushan-rishathaim.

[ **11** ] And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.

Judges 3

[ **12** ] And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD.

[ **13** ] And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.

[ **14** ] So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.

Judges 3

[ **15** ] But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab.

Judges 5

[ **24** ] Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent.

[ **25** ] He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.

[ **26** ] She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote off his head, when she had pierced and stricken through his temples.

Judges 5

[ **31** ] So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.

Judges 8

[ **4** ] And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them.

[ **5** ] And he said unto the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread unto the people that follow me; for they be faint, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.

[ **6** ] And the princes of Succoth said, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto thine army?

[ **7** ] And Gideon said, Therefore when the LORD hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into mine hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.

[ **8** ] And he went up thence to Penuel, and spake unto them likewise: and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered him.

[ **9** ] And he spake also unto the men of Penuel, saying, When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower.

Judges 8

[ **34** ] And the children of Israel remembered not the LORD their God, who had delivered them out of the hands of all their enemies on every side:

[ **35** ] Neither shewed they kindness to the house of Jerubbaal, namely, Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had shewed unto Israel.

Judges 9

[ **7** ] And when they told it to Jotham, he went and stood in the top of mount Gerizim, and lifted up his voice, and cried, and said unto them, Hearken unto me, ye men of Shechem, that God may hearken unto you.

Judges 9

[ **23** ] Then God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech:

[ **24** ] That the cruelty done to the threescore and ten sons of Jerubbaal might come, and their blood be laid upon Abimelech their brother, which slew them; and upon the men of Shechem, which aided him in the killing of his brethren.

Judges 11

[ **30** ] And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands,

[ **31** ] Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD's, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering.

[ **32** ] So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hands.

[ **33** ] And he smote them from Aroer, even till thou come to Minnith, even twenty cities, and unto the plain of the vineyards, with a very great slaughter. Thus the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel.

[ **34** ] And Jephthah came to Mizpeh unto his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: and she was his only child; beside her he had neither son nor daughter.

[ **35** ] And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his clothes, and said, Alas, my daughter! thou hast brought me very low, and thou art one of them that trouble me: for I have opened my mouth unto the LORD, and I cannot go back.

[ **36** ] And she said unto him, My father, if thou hast opened thy mouth unto the LORD, do to me according to that which hath proceeded out of thy mouth; forasmuch as the LORD hath taken vengeance for thee of thine enemies, even of the children of Ammon.

[ **37** ] And she said unto her father, Let this thing be done for me: let me alone two months, that I may go up and down upon the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I and my fellows.

[ **38** ] And he said, Go. And he sent her away for two months: and she went with her companions, and bewailed her virginity upon the mountains.

[ **39** ] And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned unto her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed: and she knew no man. And it was a custom in Israel,

[ **40** ] That the daughters of Israel went yearly to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year.

Judges 18

[ **3** ] When they were by the house of Micah, they knew the voice of the young man the Levite: and they turned in thither, and said unto him, Who brought thee hither? and what makest thou in this place? and what hast thou here?

[ **4** ] And he said unto them, Thus and thus dealeth Micah with me, and hath hired me, and I am his priest.

[ **5** ] And they said unto him, Ask counsel, we pray thee, of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous.

[ **6** ] And the priest said unto them, Go in peace: before the LORD is your way wherein ye go.

Judges 20

[ **26** ] Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came unto the house of God, and wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until even, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.

[ **27** ] And the children of Israel inquired of the LORD, (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,

[ **28** ] And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days,) saying, Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease? And the LORD said, Go up; for to morrow I will deliver them into thine hand.

# RUTH

Ruth 2

[ **10** ] Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger?

[ **11** ] And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been shewed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother in law since the death of thine husband: and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not heretofore.

[ **12** ] The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.

# 1 SAMUEL

1 Samuel 2

[ **1** ] And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, mine horn is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.

1 Samuel 2

[ **3** ] Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.

1 Samuel 2

[ **6** ] The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.

[ **7** ] The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.

1 Samuel 2

[ **8** ] He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD's, and he hath set the world upon them.

1 Samuel 2

[ **9** ] He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.

1 Samuel 2

[ **10** ] The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.

1 Samuel 2

[ **12** ] Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD.

1 Samuel 2

[ **20** ] And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The LORD give thee seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to the LORD. And they went unto their own home.

[ **21** ] And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD.

1 Samuel 2

[ **22** ] Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

[ **23** ] And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people.

[ **24** ] Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make the LORD's people to transgress.

[ **25** ] If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the LORD, who shall intreat for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the LORD would slay them.

1 Samuel 2

[ **30** ] Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.

1 Samuel 3

[ **12** ] In that day I will perform against Eli all things which I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end.

[ **13** ] For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not.

[ **14** ] And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering for ever.

1 Samuel 7

[ **3** ] And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto the LORD with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the LORD, and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.

1 Samuel 7

[ **7** ] And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.

[ **8** ] And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry unto the LORD our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines.

[ **9** ] And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it for a burnt offering wholly unto the LORD: and Samuel cried unto the LORD for Israel; and the LORD heard him.

[ **10** ] And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel: but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten before Israel.

[ **11** ] And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until they came under Beth-car.

1 Samuel 7

[ **12** ] Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Eben-ezer, saying, Hitherto hath the LORD helped us.

1 Samuel 9

[ **8** ] And the servant answered Saul again, and said, Behold, I have here at hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver: that will I give to the man of God, to tell us our way.

[ **9** ] (Beforetime in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, thus he spake, Come, and let us go to the seer: for he that is now called a Prophet was beforetime called a Seer.)

1 Samuel 12

[ **8** ] When Jacob was come into Egypt, and your fathers cried unto the LORD, then the LORD sent Moses and Aaron, which brought forth your fathers out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place.

1 Samuel 12

[ **9** ] And when they forgat the LORD their God, he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against them.

1 Samuel 12

[ **10** ] And they cried unto the LORD, and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken the LORD, and have served Baalim and Ashtaroth: but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee.

[ **11** ] And the LORD sent Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side, and ye dwelled safe.

1 Samuel 12

[ **14** ] If ye will fear the LORD, and serve him, and obey his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall both ye and also the king that reigneth over you continue following the LORD your God:

[ **15** ] But if ye will not obey the voice of the LORD, but rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall the hand of the LORD be against you, as it was against your fathers.

1 Samuel 12

[ **16** ] Now therefore stand and see this great thing, which the LORD will do before your eyes.

[ **17** ] Is it not wheat harvest to day? I will call unto the LORD, and he shall send thunder and rain; that ye may perceive and see that your wickedness is great, which ye have done in the sight of the LORD, in asking you a king.

[ **18** ] So Samuel called unto the LORD; and the LORD sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel.

[ **19** ] And all the people said unto Samuel, Pray for thy servants unto the LORD thy God, that we die not: for we have added unto all our sins this evil, to ask us a king.

[ **20** ] And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not: ye have done all this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart;

1 Samuel 12

[ **24** ] Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.

1 Samuel 13

[ **14** ] But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the LORD commanded thee.

1 Samuel 14

[ **6** ] And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that the LORD will work for us: for there is no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by few.

[ **7** ] And his armourbearer said unto him, Do all that is in thine heart: turn thee; behold, I am with thee according to thy heart.

[ **8** ] Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over unto these men, and we will discover ourselves unto them.

[ **9** ] If they say thus unto us, Tarry until we come to you; then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up unto them.

[ **10** ] But if they say thus, Come up unto us; then we will go up: for the LORD hath delivered them into our hand: and this shall be a sign unto us.

1 Samuel 14

[ **31** ] And they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon: and the people were very faint.

[ **32** ] And the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground: and the people did eat them with the blood.

[ **33** ] Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against the LORD, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, Ye have transgressed: roll a great stone unto me this day.

[ **34** ] And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say unto them, Bring me hither every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slay them here, and eat; and sin not against the LORD in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slew them there.

[ **35** ] And Saul built an altar unto the LORD: the same was the first altar that he built unto the LORD.

[ **36** ] And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and spoil them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatsoever seemeth good unto thee. Then said the priest, Let us draw near hither unto God.

[ **37** ] And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he answered him not that day.

1 Samuel 15

[ **2** ] Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt.

1 Samuel 15

[ **5** ] And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and laid wait in the valley.

[ **6** ] And Saul said unto the Kenites, Go, depart, get you down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them: for ye shewed kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.

1 Samuel 15

[ **7** ] And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah until thou comest to Shur, that is over against Egypt.

[ **8** ] And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.

[ **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: but every thing that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.

[ **10** ] Then came the word of the LORD unto Samuel, saying,

[ **11** ] It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the LORD all night.

1 Samuel 15

[ **22** ] And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.

1 Samuel 15

[ **23** ] For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.

1 Samuel 15

[ **32** ] Then said Samuel, Bring ye hither to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And Agag came unto him delicately. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past.

[ **33** ] And Samuel said, As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.

1 Samuel 16

[ **6** ] And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the LORD's anointed is before him.

[ **7** ] But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.

1 Samuel 17

[ **34** ] And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock:

[ **35** ] And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.

[ **36** ] Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.

1 Samuel 17

[ **37** ] David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee.

1 Samuel 17

[ **45** ] Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.

[ **46** ] This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.

[ **47** ] And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD's, and he will give you into our hands.

1 Samuel 24

[ **9** ] And David said to Saul, Wherefore hearest thou men's words, saying, Behold, David seeketh thy hurt?

[ **10** ] Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that the LORD had delivered thee to day into mine hand in the cave: and some bade me kill thee: but mine eye spared thee; and I said, I will not put forth mine hand against my lord; for he is the LORD's anointed.

1 Samuel 24

[ **13** ] As saith the proverb of the ancients, Wickedness proceedeth from the wicked: but mine hand shall not be upon thee.

1 Samuel 25

[ **28** ] I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine handmaid: for the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house; because my lord fighteth the battles of the LORD, and evil hath not been found in thee all thy days.

1 Samuel 25

[ **39** ] And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be the LORD, that hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil: for the LORD hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his own head, And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her to him to wife.

1 Samuel 26

[ **7** ] So David and Abishai came to the people by night: and, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the trench, and his spear stuck in the ground at his bolster: but Abner and the people lay round about him.

[ **8** ] Then said Abishai to David, God hath delivered thine enemy into thine hand this day: now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear even to the earth at once, and I will not smite him the second time.

[ **9** ] And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not: for who can stretch forth his hand against the LORD's anointed, and be guiltless?

1 Samuel 26

[ **15** ] And David said to Abner, Art not thou a valiant man? and who is like to thee in Israel? wherefore then hast thou not kept thy lord the king? for there came one of the people in to destroy the king thy lord.

[ **16** ] This thing is not good that thou hast done. As the LORD liveth, ye are worthy to die, because ye have not kept your master, the LORD's anointed. And now see where the king's spear is, and the cruse of water that was at his bolster.

1 Samuel 30

[ **1** ] And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;

[ **2** ] And had taken the women captives, that were therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away, and went on their way.

[ **3** ] So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.

[ **4** ] Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.

[ **5** ] And David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.

[ **6** ] And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.

1 Samuel 30

[ **7** ] And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David.

[ **8** ] And David inquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.

1 Samuel 30

[ **22** ] Then answered all the wicked men and men of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them ought of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away, and depart.

[ **23** ] Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the LORD hath given us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the company that came against us into our hand.

[ **24** ] For who will hearken unto you in this matter? but as his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part alike.

[ **25** ] And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day.

# 2 SAMUEL

2 Samuel 2

[ **1** ] And it came to pass after this, that David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And the LORD said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron.

2 Samuel 4

[ **9** ] And David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said unto them, As the LORD liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity,

[ **10** ] When one told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead, thinking to have brought good tidings, I took hold of him, and slew him in Ziklag, who thought that I would have given him a reward for his tidings:

[ **11** ] How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house upon his bed? shall I not therefore now require his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth?

[ **12** ] And David commanded his young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up over the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ish-bosheth, and buried it in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron.

2 Samuel 7

[ **1** ] And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the LORD had given him rest round about from all his enemies;

[ **2** ] That the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains.

[ **3** ] And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thine heart; for the LORD is with thee.

[ **4** ] And it came to pass that night, that the word of the LORD came unto Nathan, saying,

[ **5** ] Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the LORD, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in?

[ **6** ] Whereas I have not dwelt in any house since the time that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle.

[ **7** ] In all the places wherein I have walked with all the children of Israel spake I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why build ye not me an house of cedar?

[ **8** ] Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel:

[ **9** ] And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies out of thy sight, and have made thee a great name, like unto the name of the great men that are in the earth.

[ **10** ] Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime,

[ **11** ] And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also the LORD telleth thee that he will make thee an house.

[ **12** ] And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.

[ **13** ] He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.

[ **14** ] I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men:

[ **15** ] But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.

[ **16** ] And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.

[ **17** ] According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.

2 Samuel 12

[ **1** ] And the LORD sent Nathan unto David. And he came unto him, and said unto him, There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor.

[ **2** ] The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds:

[ **3** ] But the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own meat [food], and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter.

[ **4** ] And there came a traveller unto the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man that was come unto him; but took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.

[ **5** ] And David's anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As the LORD liveth, the man that hath done this thing shall surely die:

[ **6** ] And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.

[ **7** ] And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul;

[ **8** ] And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things.

[ **9** ] Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.

[ **10** ] Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.

[ **11** ] Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.

[ **12** ] For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.

2 Samuel 14

[ **14** ] For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God respect any person: yet doth he devise means, that his banished be not expelled from him.

2 Samuel 15

[ **19** ] Then said the king to Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore goest thou also with us? return to thy place, and abide with the king: for thou art a stranger, and also an exile.

[ **20** ] Whereas thou camest but yesterday, should I this day make thee go up and down with us? seeing I go whither I may, return thou, and take back thy brethren: mercy and truth be with thee.

2 Samuel 16

[ **5** ] And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, thence came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed still as he came.

[ **6** ] And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.

[7] And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Come out, come out, thou bloody man, and thou man of Belial:

[ **8** ] The LORD hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and the LORD hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and, behold, thou art taken in thy mischief, because thou art a bloody man.

[ **9** ] Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head.

[ **10** ] And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? so let him curse, because the LORD hath said unto him, Curse David. Who shall then say, Wherefore hast thou done so?

[ **11** ] And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, which came forth of my bowels, seeketh my life: how much more now may this Benjamite do it? let him alone, and let him curse; for the LORD hath bidden him.

[ **12** ] It may be that the LORD will look on mine affliction, and that the LORD will requite me good for his cursing this day.

2 Samuel 17

[ **14** ] And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel. For the LORD had appointed to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might bring evil upon Absalom.

2 Samuel 20

[ **1** ] And there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite: and he blew a trumpet, and said, We have no part in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to his tents, O Israel.

2 Samuel 21

[ **1** ] Then there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David inquired of the LORD. And the LORD answered, It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he slew the Gibeonites.

[ **2** ] And the king called the Gibeonites, and said unto them; (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn unto them: and Saul sought to slay them in his zeal to the children of Israel and Judah.)

[ **3** ] Wherefore David said unto the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? and wherewith shall I make the atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of the LORD?

2 Samuel 21

[ **15** ] Moreover the Philistines had yet war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines: and David waxed faint.

[ **16** ] And Ishbi-benob, which was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear weighed three hundred shekels of brass in weight, he being girded with a new sword, thought to have slain David.

[ **17** ] But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succoured him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David sware unto him, saying, Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, that thou quench not the light of Israel.

2 Samuel 22

[ **4** ] I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

2 Samuel 22

[ **7** ] In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.

2 Samuel 22

[ **20** ] He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

2 Samuel 22

[ **21** ] The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

[ **22** ] For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

[ **23** ] For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.

[ **24** ] I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from mine iniquity.

[ **25** ] Therefore the LORD hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.

2 Samuel 22

[ **26** ] With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, and with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright.

2 Samuel 22

[ **27** ] With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury.

2 Samuel 22

[ **28** ] And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.

2 Samuel 22

[ **31** ] As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.

2 Samuel 22

[ **33** ] God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.

2 Samuel 22

[ **48** ] It is God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me,

2 Samuel 22

[ **49** ] And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.

2 Samuel 23

[ **3** ] The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God.

[ **4** ] And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain.

2 Samuel 23

[ **6** ] But the sons of Belial shall be all of them as thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands:

[ **7** ] But the man that shall touch them must be fenced with iron and the staff of a spear; and they shall be utterly burned with fire in the same place.

2 Samuel 24

[ **1** ] And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah.

2 Samuel 24

[ **24** ] And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

2 Samuel 24

[ **25** ] And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD was intreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.

# 1 KINGS

1 Kings 2

[ **1** ] Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying,

[ **2** ] I go the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and shew thyself a man;

[ **3** ] And keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself:

1 Kings 2

[ **44** ] The king said moreover to Shimei, Thou knowest all the wickedness which thine heart is privy to, that thou didst to David my father: therefore the LORD shall return thy wickedness upon thine own head;

1 Kings 3

[ **4** ] And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place: a thousand burnt offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar.

[ **5** ] In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.

1 Kings 3

[ **6** ] And Solomon said, Thou hast shewed unto thy servant David my father great mercy, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great kindness, that thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.

[ **7** ] And now, O LORD my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a little child: I know not how to go out or come in.

[ **8** ] And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.

[ **9** ] Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?

[ **10** ] And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.

[ **11** ] And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment;

[ **12** ] Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.

[ **13** ] And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days.

[ **14** ] And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days.

1 Kings 6

[ **11** ] And the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying,

[ **12** ] Concerning this house which thou art in building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I perform my word with thee, which I spake unto David thy father:

[ **13** ] And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.

1 Kings 8

[ **22** ] And Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven:

[ **23** ] And he said, LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart:

1 Kings 8

[ **28** ] Yet have thou respect unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer, which thy servant prayeth before thee to day:

[ **29** ] That thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which thou hast said, My name shall be there: that thou mayest hearken unto the prayer which thy servant shall make toward this place.

[ **30** ] And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: and hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place: and when thou hearest, forgive.

1 Kings 8

[ **31** ] If any man trespass against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house:

[ **32** ] Then hear thou in heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.

1 Kings 8

[ **33** ] When thy people Israel be smitten down before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and shall turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray, and make supplication unto thee in this house:

[ **34** ] Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest unto their fathers.

1 Kings 8

[ **35** ] When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou afflictest them:

[ **36** ] Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, that thou teach them the good way wherein they should walk, and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.

1 Kings 8

[ **37** ] If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, blasting, mildew, locust, or if there be caterpiller; if their enemy besiege them in the land of their cities; whatsoever plague, whatsoever sickness there be;

[ **38** ] What prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, which shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house:

[ **39** ] Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men;)

[ **40** ] That they may fear thee all the days that they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.

1 Kings 8

[ **41** ] Moreover concerning a stranger, that is not of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far country for thy name's sake;

[ **42** ] (For they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy strong hand, and of thy stretched out arm;) when he shall come and pray toward this house;

[ **43** ] Hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for: that all people of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as do thy people Israel; and that they may know that this house, which I have builded, is called by thy name.

1 Kings 8

[ **44** ] If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, whithersoever thou shalt send them, and shall pray unto the LORD toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house that I have built for thy name:

[ **45** ] Then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.

1 Kings 8

[ **46** ] If they sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near;

[ **47** ] Yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they were carried captives, and repent, and make supplication unto thee in the land of them that carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have committed wickedness;

[ **48** ] And so return unto thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, which led them away captive, and pray unto thee toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, the city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name:

[ **49** ] Then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling place, and maintain their cause,

[ **50** ] And forgive thy people that have sinned against thee and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against thee, and give them compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them:

[ **51** ] For they be thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron:

[ **52** ] That thine eyes may be open unto the supplication of thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto thee.

1 Kings 8

[ **53** ] For thou didst separate them from among all the people of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spakest by the hand of Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord GOD.

1 Kings 9

[ **1** ] And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the building of the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all Solomon's desire which he was pleased to do,

[ **2** ] That the LORD appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared unto him at Gibeon.

[ **3** ] And the LORD said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.

1 Kings 9

[ **4** ] And if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and my judgments:

[ **5** ] Then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel for ever, as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel.

1 Kings 9

[ **6** ] But if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your children, and will not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them:

[ **7** ] Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people:

[ **8** ] And at this house, which is high, every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and to this house?

[ **9** ] And they shall answer, Because they forsook the LORD their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have taken hold upon other gods, and have worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath the LORD brought upon them all this evil.

1 Kings 13

[ **33** ] After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but made again of the lowest of the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he consecrated him, and he became one of the priests of the high places.

[ **34** ] And this thing became sin unto the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from off the face of the earth.

1 Kings 14

[ **7** ] Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Forasmuch as I exalted thee from among the people, and made thee prince over my people Israel,

[ **8** ] And rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it thee: and yet thou hast not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do that only which was right in mine eyes;

1 Kings 14

[ **9** ] But hast done evil above all that were before thee: for thou hast gone and made thee other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and hast cast me behind thy back:

[ **10** ] Therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone. [ **11** ] Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat: for the LORD hath spoken it.

1 Kings 14

[ **22** ] And Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they had committed, above all that their fathers had done.

[ **23** ] For they also built them high places, and images, and groves, on every high hill, and under every green tree.

[ **24** ] And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.

[ **25** ] And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem:

[ **26** ] And he took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made.

1 Kings 15

[ **1** ] Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat reigned Abijam over Judah.

[ **2** ] Three years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.

[ **3** ] And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father.

[ **4** ] Nevertheless for David's sake did the LORD his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem:

[ **5** ] Because David did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and turned not aside from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

1 Kings 15

[ **11** ] And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father.

[ **12** ] And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

[ **13** ] And also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove; and Asa destroyed her idol, and burnt it by the brook Kidron.

[ **14** ] But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa's heart was perfect with the LORD all his days.

[ **15** ] And he brought in the things which his father had dedicated, and the things which himself had dedicated, into the house of the LORD, silver, and gold, and vessels.

[ **16** ] And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

[ **17** ] And Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

[ **18** ] Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants: and king Asa sent them to Ben-hadad, the son of Tabrimon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,

[ **19** ] There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; come and break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.

[ **20** ] So Ben-hadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of the hosts which he had against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-beth-maachah, and all Cinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.

[ **21** ] And it came to pass, when Baasha heard thereof, that he left off building of Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah.

1 Kings 15

[ **25** ] And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned over Israel two years.

[ **26** ] And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.

[ **27** ] And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha smote him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel laid siege to Gibbethon.

1 Kings 16

[ **1** ] Then the word of the LORD came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,

[ **2** ] Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the dust, and made thee prince over my people Israel; and thou hast walked in the way of Jeroboam, and hast made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins;

[ **3** ] Behold, I will take away the posterity of Baasha, and the posterity of his house; and will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

[ **4** ] Him that dieth of Baasha in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth of his in the fields shall the fowls of the air eat.

1 Kings 16

[ **30** ] And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD above all that were before him.

[ **31** ] And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him.

[ **32** ] And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.

[ **33** ] And Ahab made a grove; and Ahab did more to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him.

1 Kings 18

[ **17** ] And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?

[ **18** ] And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed Baalim.

1 Kings 18

[ **36** ] And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word.

[ **37** ] Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again.

[ **38** ] Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.

[ **39** ] And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God.

1 Kings 19

[ **15** ] And the LORD said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria:

[ **16** ] And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room.

[ **17** ] And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay.

[ **18** ] Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.

1 Kings 20

[ **28** ] And there came a man of God, and spake unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the LORD, Because the Syrians have said, The LORD is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

1 Kings 20

[ **35** ] And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said unto his neighbour in the word of the LORD, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man refused to smite him.

[ **36** ] Then said he unto him, Because thou hast not obeyed the voice of the LORD, behold, as soon as thou art departed from me, a lion shall slay thee. And as soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him, and slew him.

1 Kings 20

[ **38** ] So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with ashes upon his face.

[ **39** ] And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king: and he said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man unto me, and said, Keep this man: if by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or else thou shalt pay a talent of silver.

[ **40** ] And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him, So shall thy judgment be; thyself hast decided it.

[ **41** ] And he hasted, and took the ashes away from his face; and the king of Israel discerned him that he was of the prophets.

[ **42** ] And he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Because thou hast let go out of thy hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people.

1 Kings 21

[ **1** ] And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.

[ **2** ] And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.

[ **3** ] And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.

[ **4** ] And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.

[ **5** ] But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?

[ **6** ] And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.

[ **7** ] And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thine heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.

[ **8** ] So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling with Naboth.

[ **9** ] And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people:

[ **10** ] And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he may die.

[ **11** ] And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.

[ **12** ] They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.

[ **13** ] And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.

[ **14** ] Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.

[ **15** ] And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead.

[ **16** ] And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.

[ **17** ] And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

[ **18** ] Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which is in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to possess it.

[ **19** ] And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.

1 Kings 21

[ **20** ] And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the LORD.

[ **21** ] Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take away thy posterity, and will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel,

[ **22** ] And will make thine house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked me to anger, and made Israel to sin.

1 Kings 21

[ **27** ] And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.

[ **28** ] And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

[ **29** ] Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: but in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house.

# 2 KINGS

2 Kings 1

[ **2** ] And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go, inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron whether I shall recover of this disease.

[ **3** ] But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron?

[ **4** ] Now therefore thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. And Elijah departed.

2 Kings 2

[ **19** ] And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water is naught, and the ground barren.

[ **20** ] And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him.

[ **21** ] And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith the LORD, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren land.

[ **22** ] So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spake.

[ **23** ] And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.

[ **24** ] And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.

2 Kings 3

[ **11** ] But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD, that we may inquire of the LORD by him? And one of the king of Israel's servants answered and said, Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, which poured water on the hands of Elijah.

2 Kings 4

[ **1** ] Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the LORD: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen.

[ **2** ] And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil.

[ **3** ] Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.

[ **4** ] And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full.

[ **5** ] So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out.

[ **6** ] And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.

[ **7** ] Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest.

2 Kings 4

[ **8** ] And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.

[ **9** ] And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually.

[ **10** ] Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither.

[ **11** ] And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber, and lay there.

[ **12** ] And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him.

[ **13** ] And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine own people.

[ **14** ] And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no child, and her husband is old.

[ **15** ] And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door.

[ **16** ] And he said, About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thine handmaid.

[ **17** ] And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season that Elisha had said unto her, according to the time of life.

2 Kings 4

[ **18** ] And when the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.

[19 **]** And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said to a lad, Carry him to his mother.

[ **20** ] And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died.

[ **21** ] And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon him, and went out.

[ **22** ] And she called unto her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one of the asses, that I may run to the man of God, and come again.

[ **23** ] And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him to day? it is neither new moon, nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well.

[ **24** ] Then she saddled an ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward; slack not thy riding for me, except I bid thee.

[ **25** ] So she went and came unto the man of God to mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is that Shunammite:

[ **26** ] Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well.

[ **27** ] And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught him by the feet: but Gehazi came near to thrust her away. And the man of God said, Let her alone; for her soul is vexed within her: and the LORD hath hid it from me, and hath not told me.

[ **28** ] Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?

[ **29** ] Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thine hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute thee, answer him not again: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.

[ **30** ] And the mother of the child said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose, and followed her.

[ **31** ] And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Wherefore he went again to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awaked.

[ **32** ] And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed.

[ **33** ] He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto the LORD.

[ **34** ] And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and he stretched himself upon the child; and the flesh of the child waxed warm.

[ **35** ] Then he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.

[ **36** ] And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when she was come in unto him, he said, Take up thy son.

2 Kings 5

[ **20** ] But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought: but, as the LORD liveth, I will run after him, and take somewhat of him.

[ **21** ] So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running after him, he lighted down from the chariot to meet him, and said, Is all well?

[ **22** ] And he said, All is well. My master hath sent me, saying, Behold, even now there be come to me from mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets: give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of garments.

[ **23** ] And Naaman said, Be content, take two talents. And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and laid them upon two of his servants; and they bare them before him.

[ **24** ] And when he came to the tower, he took them from their hand, and bestowed them in the house: and he let the men go, and they departed.

[ **25** ] But he went in, and stood before his master. And Elisha said unto him, Whence comest thou, Gehazi? And he said, Thy servant went no whither.

[ **26** ] And he said unto him, Went not mine heart with thee, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants?

[ **27** ] The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.

2 Kings 6

[ **21** ] And the king of Israel said unto Elisha, when he saw them, My father, shall I smite them? shall I smite them?

[ **22** ] And he answered, Thou shalt not smite them: wouldest thou smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow? set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.

[ **23** ] And he prepared great provision for them: and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. So the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.

2 Kings 8

[ **7** ] And Elisha came to Damascus; and Ben-hadad the king of Syria was sick; and it was told him, saying, The man of God is come hither.

[ **8** ] And the king said unto Hazael, Take a present in thine hand, and go, meet the man of God, and inquire of the LORD by him, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?

[ **9** ] So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels' burden, and came and stood before him, and said, Thy son Ben-hadad king of Syria hath sent me to thee, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?

[ **10** ] And Elisha said unto him, Go, say unto him, Thou mayest certainly recover: howbeit the LORD hath shewed me that he shall surely die.

2 Kings 9

[ **6** ] And he arose, and went into the house; and he poured the oil on his head, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I have anointed thee king over the people of the LORD, even over Israel.

[ **7** ] And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the LORD, at the hand of Jezebel.

[ **8** ] For the whole house of Ahab shall perish: and I will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel:

[ **9** ] And I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah:

[ **10** ] And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her. And he opened the door, and fled.

2 Kings 9

[ **22** ] And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?

2 Kings 10

[ **18** ] And Jehu gathered all the people together, and said unto them, Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu shall serve him much.

[ **19** ] Now therefore call unto me all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests; let none be wanting: for I have a great sacrifice to do to Baal; whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not live. But Jehu did it in subtilty, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.

2 Kings 10

[ **30** ] And the LORD said unto Jehu, Because thou hast done well in executing that which is right in mine eyes, and hast done unto the house of Ahab according to all that was in mine heart, thy children of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.

[ **31** ] But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the LORD God of Israel with all his heart: for he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, which made Israel to sin.

2 Kings 11

[ **15** ] But Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, the officers of the host, and said unto them, Have her forth without the ranges: and him that followeth her kill with the sword. For the priest had said, Let her not be slain in the house of the LORD.

[ **16** ] And they laid hands on her; and she went by the way by the which the horses came into the king's house: and there was she slain.

2 Kings 12

[ **1** ] In the seventh year of Jehu Jehoash began to reign; and forty years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Zibiah of Beer-sheba.

[ **2** ] And Jehoash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD all his days wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed him.

[ **3** ] But the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.

2 Kings 12

[ **16** ] The trespass money and sin money was not brought into the house of the LORD: it was the priests'.

2 Kings 13

[ **1** ] In the three and twentieth year of Joash the son of Ahaziah king of Judah Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned seventeen years.

[ **2** ] And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom.

[ **3** ] And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Ben-hadad the son of Hazael, all their days.

[ **4** ] And Jehoahaz besought the LORD, and the LORD hearkened unto him: for he saw the oppression of Israel, because the king of Syria oppressed them.

[ **5** ] (And the LORD gave Israel a saviour, so that they went out from under the hand of the Syrians: and the children of Israel dwelt in their tents, as beforetime.

2 Kings 14

[ **5** ] And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom was confirmed in his hand, that he slew his servants which had slain the king his father.

[ **6** ] But the children of the murderers he slew not: according unto that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, wherein the LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall be put to death for his own sin.

2 Kings 14

[ **26** ] For the LORD saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter: for there was not any shut up, nor any left, nor any helper for Israel.

[ **27** ] And the LORD said not that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven: but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.

2 Kings 15

[ **1** ] In the twenty and seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah to reign.

[ **2** ] Sixteen years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem.

[ **3** ] And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah had done;

[ **4** ] Save that the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burnt incense still on the high places.

[ **5** ] And the LORD smote the king, so that he was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house. And Jotham the king's son was over the house, judging the people of the land.

2 Kings 15

[ **8** ] In the thirty and eighth year of Azariah king of Judah did Zachariah the son of Jeroboam reign over Israel in Samaria six months.

[ **9** ] And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as his fathers had done: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.

[ **10** ] And Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and smote him before the people, and slew him, and reigned in his stead.

2 Kings 17

[ **7** ] For so it was, that the children of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, which had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharoah king of Egypt, and had feared other gods,

[ **8** ] And walked in the statutes of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made.

[ **9** ] And the children of Israel did secretly those things that were not right against the LORD their God, and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.

[ **10** ] And they set them up images and groves in every high hill, and under every green tree:

[ **11** ] And there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the heathen whom the LORD carried away before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger:

[ **12** ] For they served idols, whereof the LORD had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing.

[ **13** ] Yet the LORD testified against Israel, and against Judah, by all the prophets, and by all the seers, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets.

[ **14** ] Notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, that did not believe in the LORD their God.

[ **15** ] And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that were round about them, concerning whom the LORD had charged them, that they should not do like them.

[ **16** ] And they left all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made a grove, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.

[ **17** ] And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

[ **18** ] Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.

[ **19** ] Also Judah kept not the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.

[ **20** ] And the LORD rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight.

[ **21** ] For he rent Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drave Israel from following the LORD, and made them sin a great sin.

[ **22** ] For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they departed not from them;

[ **23** ] Until the LORD removed Israel out of his sight, as he had said by all his servants the prophets. So was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria unto this day.

2 Kings 17

[ **34** ] Unto this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the LORD, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law and commandment which the LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel;

[ **35** ] With whom the LORD had made a covenant, and charged them saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them:

[ **36** ] But the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and a stretched out arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye do sacrifice.

[ **37** ] And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods.

[ **38** ] And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods.

[ **39** ] But the LORD your God ye shall fear; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.

2 Kings 18

[ **1** ] Now it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.

[ **2** ] Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Abi, the daughter of Zachariah.

[ **3** ] And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that David his father did.

[ **4** ] He removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brasen serpent that Moses had made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan.

[ **5** ] He trusted in the LORD God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor any that were before him.

[ **6** ] For he clave to the LORD, and departed not from following him, but kept his commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses.

[ **7** ] And the LORD was with him; and he prospered whithersoever he went forth: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served him not.

[ **8** ] He smote the Philistines, even unto Gaza, and the borders thereof, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.

2 Kings 18

[ **11** ] And the king of Assyria did carry away Israel unto Assyria, and put them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes:

[ **12** ] Because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD their God, but transgressed his covenant, and all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded, and would not hear them, nor do them.

2 Kings 19

[ **6** ] And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words which thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.

[ **7** ] Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumour, and shall return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.

2 Kings 19

[ **19** ] Now therefore, O LORD our God, I beseech thee, save thou us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD God, even thou only.

2 Kings 19

[ **21** ] This is the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning him; The virgin the daughter of Zion hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.

[ **22** ] Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel.

2 Kings 20

[ **1** ] In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live.

[ **2** ] Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, saying,

[ **3** ] I beseech thee, O LORD, remember now how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.

[ **4** ] And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the LORD came to him, saying,

[ **5** ] Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the LORD.

[ **6** ] And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.

2 Kings 20

[ **12** ] At that time Berodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah: for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick.

[ **13** ] And Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and shewed them all the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah shewed them not.

[ **14** ] Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country, even from Babylon.

[ **15** ] And he said, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All the things that are in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them.

[ **16** ] And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD.

[ **17** ] Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house,and that which thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day, shall be carried into Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the LORD.

[ **18** ] And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.

2 Kings 21

[ **1** ] Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hephzi-bah.

[ **2** ] And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, after the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.

[ **3** ] For he built up again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and made a grove, as did Ahab king of Israel; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.

[ **4** ] And he built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD said, In Jerusalem will I put my name.

[ **5** ] And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.

[ **6** ] And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

[ **7** ] And he set a graven image of the grove that he had made in the house, of which the LORD said to David, and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:

[ **8** ] Neither will I make the feet of Israel move any more out of the land which I gave their fathers; only if they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them.

[ **9** ] But they hearkened not: and Manasseh seduced them to do more evil than did the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel.

[ **10** ] And the LORD spake by his servants the prophets, saying,

[ **11** ] Because Manasseh king of Judah hath done these abominations, and hath done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, which were before him, and hath made Judah also to sin with his idols:

[ **12** ] Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Behold, I am bringing such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever heareth of it, both his ears shall tingle.

[ **13** ] And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it, and turning it upside down.

[ **14** ] And I will forsake the remnant of mine inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies;

[ **15** ] Because they have done that which was evil in my sight,and have provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even unto this day.

[ **16** ] Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; beside his sin wherewith he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.

2 Kings 22

[ **10** ] And Shaphan the scribe shewed the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.

[ **11** ] And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he rent his clothes.

[ **12** ] And the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Michaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah a servant of the king's, saying,

[ **13** ] Go ye, inquire of the LORD for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found: for great is the wrath of the LORD that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not hearkened unto the words of this book, to do according unto all that which is written concerning us.

2 Kings 22

[ **16** ] Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the words of the book which the king of Judah hath read:

[ **17** ] Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and shall not be quenched.

2 kings 22

[ **18** ] But to the king of Judah which sent you to inquire of the LORD, thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, As touching the words which thou hast heard;

[ **19** ] Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the LORD, when thou heardest what I spake against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee, saith the LORD.

[ **20** ] Behold therefore, I will gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered into thy grave in peace; and thine eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again.

2 Kings 23

[ **25** ] And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to the LORD with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.

2 Kings 24

[ **2** ] And the LORD sent against him bands of the Chaldees, and bands of the Syrians, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by his servants the prophets.

[ **3** ] Surely at the commandment of the LORD came this upon Judah, to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did;

[ **4** ] And also for the innocent blood that he shed: for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; which the LORD would not pardon.

# 1 CHRONICLES

1 Chronicles 4

[ **9** ] And Jabez was more honourable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow.

[ **10** ] And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.

[ **19** ] And they made war with the Hagarites, with Jetur, and Nephish, and Nodab.

[ **20** ] And they were helped against them, and the Hagarites were delivered into their hand, and all that were with them: for they cried to God in the battle, and he was intreated of them; because they put their trust in him.

[ **21** ] And they took away their cattle; of their camels fifty thousand, and of sheep two hundred and fifty thousand, and of asses two thousand, and of men an hundred thousand.

[ **22** ] For there fell down many slain, because the war was of God. And they dwelt in their steads until the captivity.

1 Chronicles 10

[ **13** ] So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD, even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to inquire of it;

1 Chronicles 11

[ **17** ] And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, that is at the gate!

[ **18** ] And the three brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: but David would not drink of it, but poured it out to the LORD,

[ **19** ] And said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this thing: shall I drink the blood of these men that have put their lives in jeopardy? for with the jeopardy of their lives they brought it. Therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mightiest.

1 Chronicles 12

[ **8** ] And of the Gadites there separated themselves unto David into the hold to the wilderness men of might, and men of war fit for the battle, that could handle shield and buckler, whose faces were like the faces of lions, and were as swift as the roes upon the mountains;

1 Chronicles 12

[ **16** ] And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the hold unto David.

[ **17** ] And David went out to meet them, and answered and said unto them, If ye be come peaceably unto me to help me, mine heart shall be knit unto you: but if ye be come to betray me to mine enemies, seeing there is no wrong in mine hands, the God of our fathers look thereon, and rebuke it.

1 Chronicles 13

[ **9** ] And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.

[ **13** ] And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley.

[ **14** ] Therefore David inquired again of God; and God said unto him, Go not up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.

[ **15** ] And it shall be, when thou shalt hear a sound of going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle: for God is gone forth before thee to smite the host of the Philistines.

1 Chronicles 15

[ **11** ] And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab,

[ **12** ] And said unto them, Ye are the chief of the fathers of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, both ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel unto the place that I have prepared for it.

[ **13** ] For because ye did it not at the first, the LORD our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not after the due order.

1 Chronicles 16

[ **14** ] He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.

1 Chronicles 16

[ **15** ] Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations;

[ **16** ] Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;

[ **17** ] And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,

[ **18** ] Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;

[ **19** ] When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.

1 Chronicles 16

[ **20** ] And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people;

1 Chronicles 17

[ **1** ] Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in an house of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD remaineth under curtains.

[ **2** ] Then Nathan said unto David, Do all that is in thine heart; for God is with thee.

[ **3** ] And it came to pass the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,

[ **4** ] Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not build me an house to dwell in:

[ **5** ] For I have not dwelt in an house since the day that I brought up Israel unto this day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.

[ **6** ] Wheresoever I have walked with all Israel, spake I a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have ye not built me an house of cedars?

[ **7** ] Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, even from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be ruler over my people Israel:

[ **8** ] And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name like the name of the great men that are in the earth.

[ **9** ] Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning,

[ **10** ] And since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Moreover I will subdue all thine enemies. Furthermore I tell thee that the LORD will build thee an house.

[ **11** ] And it shall come to pass, when thy days be expired that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom.

[ **12** ] He shall build me an house, and I will stablish his throne for ever.

[ **13** ] I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee:

[ **14** ] But I will settle him in mine house and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for evermore.

1 Chronicles 21

[ **1** ] And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.

[ **2** ] And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel from Beer-sheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it.

1 Chronicles 21

[ **3** ] And Joab answered, The LORD make his people an hundred times so many more as they be: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? why then doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel?

[ **4** ] Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.

[ **5** ] And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people unto David. And all they of Israel were a thousand thousand and an hundred thousand men that drew sword: and Judah was four hundred threescore and ten thousand men that drew sword.

[ **6** ] But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them: for the king's word was abominable to Joab.

[ **7** ] And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he smote Israel.

1 Chronicles 21

[ **9** ] And the LORD spake unto Gad, David's seer, saying,

[ **10** ] Go and tell David, saying, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee three things: choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.

[ **11** ] So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Choose thee

[ **12** ] Either three years' famine; or three months to be destroyed before thy foes, while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of the LORD, even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel. Now therefore advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him that sent me.

[ **13** ] And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall now into the hand of the LORD; for very great are his mercies: but let me not fall into the hand of man.

1 Chronicles 21

[ **15** ] And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the LORD beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough, stay now thine hand. And the angel of the LORD stood by the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.

1 Chronicles 21

[ **17** ] And David said unto God, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done evil indeed; but as for these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, O LORD my God, be on me, and on my father's house; but not on thy people, that they should be plagued.

[ **18** ] Then the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and set up an altar unto the LORD in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.

1 Chronicles 21

[ **22** ] Then David said to Ornan, Grant me the place of this threshingfloor, that I may build an altar therein unto the LORD: thou shalt grant it me for the full price: that the plague may be stayed from the people.

[ **23** ] And Ornan said unto David, Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes: lo,I give thee the oxen also for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meat [grain] offering; I give it all.

[ **24** ] And king David said to Ornan, Nay; but I will verily buy it for the full price: for I will not take that which is thine for the LORD, nor offer burnt offerings without cost.

1 Chronicles 21

[ **26** ] And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called upon the LORD; and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt offering.

[ **27** ] And the LORD commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into the sheath thereof.

1 Chronicles 22

[ **5** ] And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be builded for the LORD must be exceeding magnifical, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will therefore now make preparation for it. So David prepared abundantly before his death.

1 Chronicles 22

[ **6** ] Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build an house for the LORD God of Israel.

[ **7** ] And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God:

[ **8** ] But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build an house unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.

1 Chronicles 22

[ **12** ] Only the LORD give thee wisdom and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel, that thou mayest keep the law of the LORD thy God.

[ **13** ] Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to fulfil the statutes and judgments which the LORD charged Moses with concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed.

1 Chronicles 22

[ **17** ] David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,

[ **18** ] Is not the LORD your God with you? and hath he not given you rest on every side? for he hath given the inhabitants of the land into mine hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD, and before his people.

[ **19** ] Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of the LORD.

1 Chronicles 26

[ **27** ] Out of the spoils won in battles did they dedicate to maintain the house of the LORD.

1 Chronicles 28

[ **4** ] Howbeit the LORD God of Israel chose me before all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever: for he hath chosen Judah to be the ruler; and of the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he liked me to make me king over all Israel:

[ **5** ] And of all my sons, (for the LORD hath given me many sons,) he hath chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the LORD over Israel.

[ **6** ] And he said unto me, Solomon thy son, he shall build my house and my courts: for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father.

[ **7** ] Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he be constant to do my commandments and my judgments, as at this day.

1 Chronicles 28

[ **8** ] Now therefore in the sight of all Israel the congregation of the LORD, and in the audience of our God, keep and seek for all the commandments of the LORD your God: that ye may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance for your children after you for ever.

1 Chronicles 28

[ **9** ] And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.

1 Chronicles 28

[ **20** ] And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the LORD God, even my God, will be with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD.

1 Chronicles 29

[ **1** ] Furthermore David the king said unto all the congregation, Solomon my son, whom alone God hath chosen, is yet young and tender, and the work is great: for the palace is not for man, but for the LORD God.

1 Chronicles 29

[ **9** ] Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.

[ **10** ] Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed be thou, LORD God of Israel our father, for ever and ever.

1 Chronicles 29

[ **11** ] Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.

1 Chronicles 29

[ **12** ] Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all.

1 Chronicles 29

[ **14** ] But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee.

1 Chronicles 29

[ **15** ] For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as were all our fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is none abiding.

1 Chronicles 29

[ **17** ] I know also, my God, that thou triest the heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of mine heart I have willingly offered all these things: and now have I seen with joy thy people, which are present here, to offer willingly unto thee.

# 2 CHRONICLES

2 Chronicles 1

[ **6** ] And Solomon went up thither to the brasen altar before the LORD, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it.

[ **7** ] In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee.

[ **8** ] And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.

[ **9** ] Now , O LORD God, let thy promise unto David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.

[ **10** ] Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great?

[ **11** ] And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:

[ **12** ] Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like.

2 Chronicles 2

[ **4** ] Behold, I build an house to the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual shewbread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts of the LORD our God. This is an ordinance for ever to Israel.

2 Chronicles 6

[ **14** ] And said, O LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee in the heaven, nor in the earth; which keepest covenant, and shewest mercy unto thy servants, that walk before thee with all their hearts:

2 Chronicles 6

[ **16** ] Now therefore, O LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit upon the throne of Israel; yet so that thy children take heed to their way to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me.

2 Chronicles 6

[ **18** ] But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built!

2 Chronicles 6

[ **19** ] Have respect therefore to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee:

[ **20** ] That thine eyes may be open upon this house day and night, upon the place whereof thou hast said that thou wouldest put thy name there; to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant prayeth toward this place.

[ **21** ] Hearken therefore unto the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which they shall make toward this place: hear thou from thy dwelling place, even from heaven; and when thou hearest, forgive.

2 Chronicles 6

[ **22** ] If a man sin against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to make him swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house;

[ **23** ] Then hear thou from heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, by requiting the wicked, by recompensing his way upon his own head; and by justifying the righteous, by giving him according to his righteousness.

2 Chronicles 6

[ **24** ] And if thy people Israel be put to the worse before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee; and shall return and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication before thee in this house;

[ **25** ] Then hear thou from the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest to them and to their fathers.

2 Chronicles 6

[ **26** ] When the heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; yet if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou dost afflict them;

[ **27** ] Then hear thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou hast taught them the good way, wherein they should walk; and send rain upon thy land, which thou hast given unto thy people for an inheritance.

2 Chronicles 6

[ **28** ] If there be dearth in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting, or mildew, locusts, or caterpillers; if their enemies besiege them in the cities of their land; whatsoever sore or whatsoever sickness there be:

[ **29** ] Then what prayer or what supplication soever shall be made of any man, or of all thy people Israel, when every one shall know his own sore and his own grief, and shall spread forth his hands in this house:

[ **30** ] Then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and render unto every man according unto all his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of men:)

[ **31** ] That they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways, so long as they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.

2 Chronicles 6

[ **32** ] Moreover concerning the stranger, which is not of thy people Israel, but is come from a far country for thy great name's sake, and thy mighty hand, and thy stretched out arm; if they come and pray in this house;

[ **33** ] Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; that all people of the earth may know thy name, and fear thee, as doth thy people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.

2 Chronicles 6

[ **34** ] If thy people go out to war against their enemies by the way that thou shalt send them, and they pray unto thee toward this city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name;

[ **35** ] Then hear thou from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.

2 Chronicles 6

[ **36** ] If they sin against thee, (for there is no man which sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them over before their enemies, and they carry them away captives unto a land far off or near;

[ **37** ] Yet if they bethink themselves in the land whither they are carried captive, and turn and pray unto thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done amiss, and have dealt wickedly;

[ **38** ] If they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried them captives, and pray toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, and toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name:

[ **39** ] Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive thy people which have sinned against thee.

2 Chronicles 6

[ **40** ] Now, my God, let, I beseech thee, thine eyes be open, and let thine ears be attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.

[ **41** ] Now therefore arise, O LORD God, into thy resting place, thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in goodness.

[ **42** ] O LORD God, turn not away the face of thine anointed: remember the mercies of David thy servant.

2 Chronicles 7

[ **1** ] Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD filled the house.

[ **2** ] And the priests could not enter into the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD's house.

[ **3** ] And when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the LORD upon the house, they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.

2 Chronicles 7

[ **12** ] And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice.

[ **13** ] If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; [14] If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

2 Chronicles 7

[ **15** ] Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.

[ **16** ] For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.

2 Chronicles 7

[ **17** ] And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and shalt observe my statues and my judgments;

[ **18** ] Then will I stablish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel.

2 Chronicles 7

[ **19** ] But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them;

[ **20** ] Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations.

[ **21** ] And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to every one that passeth by it; so that he shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and unto this house?

[ **22** ] And it shall be answered, Because they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath he brought all this evil upon them.

2 Chronicles 12

[ **1** ] And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Israel with him.

[ **2** ] And it came to pass, that in the fifth year of king Rehoboam Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the LORD,

[ **3** ] With twelve hundred chariots, and threescore thousand horsemen: and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt; the Lubims, the Sukkiims, and the Ethiopians.

[ **4** ] And he took the fenced cities which pertained to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.

[ **5** ] Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, Ye have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.

[ **6** ] Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, The LORD is righteous.

[ **7** ] And when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves; therefore I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.

[ **8** ] Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.

[ **9** ] So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house; he took all: he carried away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made.

[ **10** ] Instead of which king Rehoboam made shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the chief of the guard, that kept the entrance of the king's house.

[ **11** ] And when the king entered into the house of the LORD, the guard came and fetched them, and brought them again into the guard chamber.

[ **12** ] And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him that he would not destroy him altogether: and also in Judah things went well.

2 Chronicles 12

[ **13** ] So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess.

[ **14** ] And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the LORD..

2 Chronicles 13

[ **5** ] Ought ye not to know that the LORD God of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?

[ **6** ] Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, is risen up, and hath rebelled against his lord.

2 Chronicles 13

[ **10** ] But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and the priests, which minister unto the LORD, are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites wait upon their business:

[ **11** ] And they burn unto the LORD every morning and every evening burnt sacrifices and sweet incense: the shewbread also set they in order upon the pure table; and the candlestick of gold with the lamps thereof, to burn every evening: for we keep the charge of the LORD our God; but ye have forsaken him.

2 Chronicles 13

[ **12** ] And, behold, God himself is with us for our captain, and his priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not against the LORD God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper.

2 Chronicles 13

[ **14** ] And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind: and they cried unto the LORD, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.

[ **15** ] Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.

[ **16** ] And the children of Israel fled before Judah: and God delivered them into their hand.

[ **17** ] And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.

[ **18** ] Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the LORD God of their fathers.

2 Chronicles 14

[ **2** ] And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God:

[ **3** ] For he took away the altars of the strange gods, and the high places, and brake down the images, and cut down the groves:

[ **4** ] And commanded Judah to seek the LORD God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.

[ **5** ] Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the images: and the kingdom was quiet before him.

[ **6** ] And he built fenced cities in Judah: for the land had rest, and he had no war in those years; because the LORD had given him rest.

[ **7** ] Therefore he said unto Judah, Let us build these cities, and make about them walls, and towers, gates, and bars, while the land is yet before us; because we have sought the LORD our God, we have sought him, and he hath given us rest on every side. So they built and prospered.

2 Chronicles 14

[ **11** ] And Asa cried unto the LORD his God, and said, LORD, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O LORD our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O LORD, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee.

[ **12** ] So the LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.

[ **13** ] And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them unto Gerar: and the Ethiopians were overthrown, that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before the LORD, and before his host; and they carried away very much spoil.

[ **14** ] And they smote all the cities round about Gerar; for the fear of the LORD came upon them: and they spoiled all the cities; for there was exceeding much spoil in them.

[ **15** ] They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem.

2 Chronicles 15

[ **1** ] And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded:

[ **2** ] And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The LORD is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.

2 Chronicles 15

[ **3** ] Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.

[ **4** ] But when they in their trouble did turn unto the LORD God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them.

[ **5** ] And in those times there was no peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in, but great vexations were upon all the inhabitants of the countries.

[ **6** ] And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city: for God did vex them with all adversity.

2 Chronicles 15

[ **7** ] Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded.

[ **8** ] And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed the altar of the LORD, that was before the porch of the LORD.

[ **9** ] And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and the strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.

[ **10** ] So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.

[ **11** ] And they offered unto the LORD the same time, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.

[ **12** ] And they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;

[ **13** ] That whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.

[ **14** ] And they sware unto the LORD with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.

[ **15** ] And all Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and the LORD gave them rest round about.

2 Chronicles 15

[ **16** ] And also concerning Maachah the mother of Asa the king, he removed her from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove: and Asa cut down her idol, and stamped it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.

2 Chronicles 16

[ **7** ] And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said unto him, Because thou hast relied on the king of Syria, and not relied on the LORD thy God, therefore is the host of the king of Syria escaped out of thine hand.

[ **8** ] Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubims a huge host, with very many chariots and horsemen? yet, because thou didst rely on the LORD, he delivered them into thine hand.

2 Chronicles 16

[ **9** ] For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.

2 Chronicles 17

[ **3** ] And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto Baalim;

[ **4** ] But sought to the LORD God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.

[ **5** ] Therefore the LORD stablished the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and honour in abundance.

[ **6** ] And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD: moreover he took away the high places and groves out of Judah.

[ **7** ] Also in the third year of his reign he sent to his princes, even to Ben-hail, and to Obadiah, and to Zechariah, and to Nethaneel, and to Michaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah.

[ **8** ] And with them he sent Levites, even Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tob-adonijah, Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, priests.

[ **9** ] And they taught in Judah, and had the book of the law of the LORD with them, and went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught the people.

[ **10** ] And the fear of the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.

[ **11** ] Also some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and tribute silver; and the Arabians brought him flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred he goats.

[ **12** ] And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly; and he built in Judah castles, and cities of store.

[ **13** ] And he had much business in the cities of Judah: and the men of war, mighty men of valour, were in Jerusalem.

2 Chronicles 18

[ **31** ] And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel. Therefore they compassed about him to fight: but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.

2 Chronicles 19

[ **1** ] And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.

[ **2** ] And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate the LORD? therefore is wrath upon thee from before the LORD.

[ **3** ] Nevertheless there are good things found in thee, in that thou hast taken away the groves out of the land, and hast prepared thine heart to seek God.

2 Chronicles 19

[ **4** ] And Jehoshaphat dwelt at Jerusalem: and he went out again through the people from Beer-sheba to mount Ephraim, and brought them back unto the LORD God of their fathers.

[ **5** ] And he set judges in the land throughout all the fenced cities of Judah, city by city,

[ **6** ] And said to the judges, Take heed what ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for the LORD, who is with you in the judgment.

[ **7** ] Wherefore now let the fear of the LORD be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with the LORD our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts.

2 Chronicles 19

[ **8** ] Moreover in Jerusalem did Jehoshaphat set of the Levites, and of the priests, and of the chief of the fathers of Israel, for the judgment of the LORD, and for controversies, when they returned to Jerusalem.

[ **9** ] And he charged them, saying, Thus shall ye do in the fear of the LORD, faithfully, and with a perfect heart.

[ **10** ] And what cause soever shall come to you of your brethren that dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and judgments, ye shall even warn them that they trespass not against the LORD, and so wrath come upon you, and upon your brethren: this do, and ye shall not trespass.

[ **11** ] And, behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of the LORD; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, for all the king's matters: also the Levites shall be officers before you. Deal courageously, and the LORD shall be with the good.

2 Chronicles 20

[ **14** ] Then upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, came the Spirit of the LORD in the midst of the congregation;

[ **15** ] And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's.

[ **16** ] To morrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the brook, before the wilderness of Jeruel.

[ **17** ] Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you.

2 Chronicles 20

[ **20** ] And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.

2 Chronicles 20

[ **21** ] And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever.

[ **22** ] And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.

[ **23** ] For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another.

2 Chronicles 20

[ **33** ] Howbeit the high places were not taken away: for as yet the people had not prepared their hearts unto the God of their fathers.

2 Chronicles 20

[ **35** ] And after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did very wickedly:

[ **36** ] And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish: and they made the ships in Ezion-geber.

[ **37** ] Then Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, the LORD hath broken thy works. And the ships were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish.

2 Chronicles 21

[ **6** ] And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, like as did the house of Ahab: for he had the daughter of Ahab to wife: and he wrought that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD.

[ **7** ] Howbeit the LORD would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give a light to him and to his sons for ever.

2 Chronicles 21

[ **12** ] And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of David thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah,

[ **13** ] But hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go a whoring, like to the whoredoms of the house of Ahab, and also hast slain thy brethren of thy father's house, which were better than thyself:

[ **14** ] Behold, with a great plague will the LORD smite thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy goods:

[ **15** ] And thou shalt have great sickness by disease of thy bowels, until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day.

[ **16** ] Moreover the LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, that were near the Ethiopians:

[ **17** ] And they came up into Judah, and brake into it, and carried away all the substance that was found in the king's house, and his sons also, and his wives; so that there was never a son left him, save Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons.

[ **18** ] And after all this the LORD smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease.

[ **19** ] And it came to pass, that in process of time, after the end of two years, his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness: so he died of sore diseases. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers.

2 Chronicles 22

[ **3** ] He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab: for his mother was his counseller to do wickedly.

[ **4** ] Wherefore he did evil in the sight of the LORD like the house of Ahab: for they were his counsellers after the death of his father to his destruction.

2 Chronicles 23

[ **3** ] And all the congregation made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said unto them, Behold, the king's son shall reign, as the LORD hath said of the sons of David.

2 Chronicles 23

[ **6** ] But let none come into the house of the LORD, save the priests, and they that minister of the Levites; they shall go in, for they are holy: but all the people shall keep the watch of the LORD.

2 Chronicles 23

[ **18** ] Also Jehoiada appointed the offices of the house of the LORD by the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of the LORD, to offer the burnt offerings of the LORD, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as it was ordained by David.

2 Chronicles 24

[ **9** ] And they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in to the LORD the collection that Moses the servant of God laid upon Israel in the wilderness.

[ **10** ] And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had made an end.

[ **11** ] Now it came to pass, that at what time the chest was brought unto the king's office by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king's scribe and the high priest's officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to his place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.

[ **12** ] And the king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and hired masons and carpenters to repair the house of the LORD, and also such as wrought iron and brass to mend the house of the LORD.

[ **13** ] So the workmen wrought, and the work was perfected by them, and they set the house of God in his state, and strengthened it.

[ **14** ] And when they had finished it, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, whereof were made vessels for the house of the LORD, even vessels to minister, and to offer withal, and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt offerings in the house of the LORD continually all the days of Jehoiada.

[ **15** ] But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of days when he died; an hundred and thirty years old was he when he died.

[ **16** ] And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, both toward God, and toward his house.

2 Chronicles 24

[ **18** ] And they left the house of the LORD God of their fathers, and served groves and idols: and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their trespass.

[ **19** ] Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto the LORD; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear.

[ **20** ] And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, which stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the LORD, that ye cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken the LORD, he hath also forsaken you.

2 Chronicles 24

[ **24** ] For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men, and the LORD delivered a very great host into their hand, because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers. So they executed judgment against Joash..

2 Chronicles 25

[ **1** ] Amaziah was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.

[ **2** ] And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, but not with a perfect heart.

2 Chronicles 25

[ **3** ] Now it came to pass, when the kingdom was established to him, that he slew his servants that had killed the king his father.

[ **4** ] But he slew not their children, but did as it is written in the law in the book of Moses, where the LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin.

2 Chronicles 25

[ **7** ] But there came a man of God to him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with thee; for the LORD is not with Israel, to wit, with all the children of Ephraim.

[ **8** ] But if thou wilt go, do it, be strong for the battle: God shall make thee fall before the enemy: for God hath power to help, and to cast down.

2 Chronicles 25

[ **14** ] Now it came to pass, after that Amaziah was come from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed down himself before them, and burned incense unto them.

[ **15** ] Wherefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against Amaziah, and he sent unto him a prophet, which said unto him, Why hast thou sought after the gods of the people, which could not deliver their own people out of thine hand?

[ **16** ] And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that the king said unto him, Art thou made of the king's counsel? forbear; why shouldest thou be smitten? Then the prophet forbare, and said, I know that God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened unto my counsel.

2 Chronicles 25

[ **19** ] Thou sayest, Lo, thou hast smitten the Edomites; and thine heart lifteth thee up to boast: abide now at home; why shouldest thou meddle to thine hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?

[ **20** ] But Amaziah would not hear; for it came of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they sought after the gods of Edom.

2 Chronicles 25

[ **27** ] Now after the time that Amaziah did turn away from following the LORD they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent to Lachish after him, and slew him there.

2 Chronicles 26

[ **3** ] Sixteen years old was Uzziah when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.

[ **4** ] And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah did.

[ **5** ] And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God: and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper.

[ **6** ] And he went forth and warred against the Philistines, and brake down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod, and built cities about Ashdod, and among the Philistines.

[ **7** ] And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gur-baal, and the Mehunims.

[ **8** ] And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah: and his name spread abroad even to the entering in of Egypt; for he strengthened himself exceedingly.

[ **9** ] Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, and at the valley gate, and at the turning of the wall, and fortified them.

[ **10** ] Also he built towers in the desert, and digged many wells: for he had much cattle, both in the low country, and in the plains: husbandmen also, and vine dressers in the mountains, and in Carmel: for he loved husbandry.

[ **11** ] Moreover Uzziah had an host of fighting men, that went out to war by bands, according to the number of their account by the hand of Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the ruler, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king's captains.

[ **12** ] The whole number of the chief of the fathers of the mighty men of valour were two thousand and six hundred.

[ **13** ] And under their hand was an army, three hundred thousand and seven thousand and five hundred, that made war with mighty power, to help the king against the enemy.

[ **14** ] And Uzziah prepared for them throughout all the host shields, and spears, and helmets, and habergeons, and bows, and slings to cast stones.

[ **15** ] And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by cunning men, to be on the towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows and great stones withal. And his name spread far abroad; for he was marvellously helped, till he was strong.

2 Chronicles 26

[ **16** ] But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction: for he transgressed against the LORD his God, and went into the temple of the LORD to burn incense upon the altar of incense.

[ **17** ] And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him fourscore priests of the LORD, that were valiant men:

[ **18** ] And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto him, It appertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto the LORD, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for thou hast trespassed; neither shall it be for thine honour from the LORD God.

[ **19** ] Then Uzziah was wroth, and had a censer in his hand to burn incense: and while he was wroth with the priests, the leprosy even rose up in his forehead before the priests in the house of the LORD, from beside the incense altar.

[ **20** ] And Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests, looked upon him, and, behold, he was leprous in his forehead, and they thrust him out from thence; yea, himself hasted also to go out, because the LORD had smitten him.

[ **21** ] And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the LORD: and Jotham his son was over the king's house, judging the people of the land.

2 Chronicles 27

[ **1** ] Jotham was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok.

[ **2** ] And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah did: howbeit he entered not into the temple of the LORD. And the people did yet corruptly.

[ **3** ] He built the high gate of the house of the LORD, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.

[ **4** ] Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.

[ **5** ] He fought also with the king of the Ammonites, and prevailed against them. And the children of Ammon gave him the same year an hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of Ammon pay unto him, both the second year, and the third.

[ **6** ] So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his God.

2 Chronicles 28

[ **1** ] Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: but he did not that which was right in the sight of the LORD, like David his father:

[ **2** ] For he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for Baalim.

[ **3** ] Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burnt his children in the fire, after the abominations of the heathen whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.

[ **4** ] He sacrificed also and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.

[ **5** ] Wherefore the LORD his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria; and they smote him, and carried away a great multitude of them captives, and brought them to Damascus. And he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who smote him with a great slaughter.

[ **6** ] For Pekah the son of Remaliah slew in Judah an hundred and twenty thousand in one day, which were all valiant men; because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers.

[ **7** ] And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king's son, and Azrikam the governor of the house, and Elkanah that was next to the king.

[ **8** ] And the children of Israel carried away captive of their brethren two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and took also away much spoil from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria.

2 Chronicles 28

[ **9** ] But a prophet of the LORD was there, whose name was Oded: and he went out before the host that came to Samaria, and said unto them, Behold, because the LORD God of your fathers was wroth with Judah, he hath delivered them into your hand, and ye have slain them in a rage that reacheth up unto heaven.

[ **10** ] And now ye purpose to keep under the children of Judah and Jerusalem for bondmen and bondwomen unto you: but are there not with you, even with you, sins against the LORD your God?

[ **11** ] Now hear me therefore, and deliver the captives again, which ye have taken captive of your brethren: for the fierce wrath of the LORD is upon you.

[ **12** ] Then certain of the heads of the children of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against them that came from the war,

[ **13** ] And said unto them, Ye shall not bring in the captives hither: for whereas we have offended against the LORD already, ye intend to add more to our sins and to our trespass: for our trespass is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel.

[ **14** ] So the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the princes and all the congregation.

[ **15** ] And the men which were expressed by name rose up, and took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all that were naked among them, and arrayed them, and shod them, and gave them to eat and to drink, and anointed them, and carried all the feeble of them upon asses, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brethren: then they returned to Samaria.

2 Chronicles 28

[ **19** ] For the LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he made Judah naked, and transgressed sore against the LORD.

2 Chronicles 28

[ **20** ] And Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria came unto him, and distressed him, but strengthened him not.

[ **21** ] For Ahaz took away a portion out of the house of the LORD, and out of the house of the king, and of the princes, and gave it unto the king of Assyria: but he helped him not.

2 Chronicles 29

[ **1** ] Hezekiah began to reign when he was five and twenty years old, and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.

[ **2** ] And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that David his father had done.

[ **3** ] He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of the LORD, and repaired them.

[ **4** ] And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the east street,

[ **5** ] And said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites, sanctify now yourselves, and sanctify the house of the LORD God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy place.

[ **6** ] For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the LORD, and turned their backs.

[ **7** ] Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt offerings in the holy place unto the God of Israel.

[ **8** ] Wherefore the wrath of the LORD was upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he hath delivered them to trouble, to astonishment, and to hissing, as ye see with your eyes.

[ **9** ] For, lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this.

[ **10** ] Now it is in mine heart to make a covenant with the LORD God of Israel, that his fierce wrath may turn away from us.

2 Chronicles 29

[ **31** ] Then Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves unto the LORD, come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of the LORD. And the congregation brought in sacrifices and thank offerings; and as many as were of a free heart burnt offerings.

2 Chronicles 30

[ **6** ] So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.

2 Chronicles 30

[ **7** ] And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, which trespassed against the LORD God of their fathers, who therefore gave them up to desolation, as ye see.

2 Chronicles 30

[ **8** ] Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves unto the LORD, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever: and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you.

2 Chronicles 30

[ **9** ] For if ye turn again unto the LORD, your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land: for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return unto him.

2 Chronicles 30

[ **18** ] For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the passover otherwise than it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good LORD pardon every one

[ **19** ] That prepareth his heart to seek God, the LORD God of his fathers, though he be not cleansed according to the purification of the sanctuary.

[ **20** ] And the LORD hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.

2 Chronicles 32

[ **8** ] With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.

2 Chronicles 32

[ **10** ] Thus saith Sennacherib king of Assyria, Whereon do ye trust, that ye abide in the siege in Jerusalem?

[ **11** ] Doth not Hezekiah persuade you to give over yourselves to die by famine and by thirst, saying, The LORD our God shall deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

[ **12** ] Hath not the same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall worship before one altar, and burn incense upon it?

[ **13** ] Know ye not what I and my fathers have done unto all the people of other lands? were the gods of the nations of those lands any ways able to deliver their lands out of mine hand?

[ **14** ] Who was there among all the gods of those nations that my fathers utterly destroyed, that could deliver his people out of mine hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of mine hand?

[ **15** ] Now therefore let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you on this manner, neither yet believe him: for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of mine hand, and out of the hand of my fathers: how much less shall your God deliver you out of mine hand?

[ **16** ] And his servants spake yet more against the LORD God, and against his servant Hezekiah.

[ **17** ] He wrote also letters to rail on the LORD God of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, As the gods of the nations of other lands have not delivered their people out of mine hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliver his people out of mine hand.

[ **18** ] Then they cried with a loud voice in the Jews' speech unto the people of Jerusalem that were on the wall, to affright them, and to trouble them; that they might take the city.

[ **19** ] And they spake against the God of Jerusalem, as against the gods of the people of the earth, which were the work of the hands of man.

[ **20** ] And for this cause Hezekiah the king, and the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz, prayed and cried to heaven.

[ **21** ] And the LORD sent an angel, which cut off all the mighty men of valour, and the leaders and captains in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. And when he was come into the house of his god, they that came forth of his own bowels slew him there with the sword.

2 Chronicles 32

[ **24** ] In those days Hezekiah was sick to the death, and prayed unto the LORD: and he spake unto him, and he gave him a sign.

[ **25** ] But Hezekiah rendered not again according to the benefit done unto him; for his heart was lifted up: therefore there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem.

[ **26** ] Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the LORD came not upon them in the days of Hezekiah.

2 Chronicles 32

[ **30** ] This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper watercourse of Gihon, and brought it straight down to the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works.

[ **31** ] Howbeit in the business of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent unto him to inquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know all that was in his heart.

2 Chronicles 33

[ **10** ] And the LORD spake to Manasseh, and to his people: but they would not hearken.

[ **11** ] Wherefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the thorns, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.

2 Chronicles 33

[ **12** ] And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,

[ **13** ] And prayed unto him: and he was intreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD he was God.

2 Chronicles 33

[ **21** ] Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem.

[ **22** ] But he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed unto all the carved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them;

[ **23** ] And humbled not himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.

[ **24** ] And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.

[ **25** ] But the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.

2 Chronicles 34

[ **1** ] Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem one and thirty years.

[ **2** ] And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the ways of David his father, and declined neither to the right hand, nor to the left.

[ **3** ] For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father: and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images.

[ **4** ] And they brake down the altars of Baalim in his presence; and the images, that were on high above them, he cut down; and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images, he brake in pieces, and made dust of them, and strowed it upon the graves of them that had sacrificed unto them.

[ **5** ] And he burnt the bones of the priests upon their altars, and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.

[ **6** ] And so did he in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and Simeon, even unto Naphtali, with their mattocks round about.

[ **7** ] And when he had broken down the altars and the groves, and had beaten the graven images into powder, and cut down all the idols throughout all the land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem.

2 Chronicles 34

[ **20** ] And the king commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Abdon the son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah a servant of the king's, saying,

[ **21** ] Go, inquire of the LORD for me, and for them that are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found: for great is the wrath of the LORD that is poured out upon us, because our fathers have not kept the word of the LORD, to do after all that is written in this book.

[ **22** ] And Hilkiah, and they that the king had appointed, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college:) and they spake to her to that effect.

[ **23** ] And she answered them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Tell ye the man that sent you to me,

[ **24** ] Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah:

[ **25** ] Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be poured out upon this place, and shall not be quenched.

[ **26** ] And as for the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the LORD, so shall ye say unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel concerning the words which thou hast heard;

[ **27** ] Because thine heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God, when thou heardest his words against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, and humbledst thyself before me, and didst rend thy clothes, and weep before me; I have even heard thee also, saith the LORD.

[ **28** ] Behold, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace, neither shall thine eyes see all the evil that I will bring upon this place, and upon the inhabitants of the same. So they brought the king word again.

2 Chronicles 35

[ **20** ] After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Necho king of Egypt came up to fight against Carchemish by Euphrates: and Josiah went out against him.

[ **21** ] But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, What have I to do with thee, thou king of Judah? I come not against thee this day, but against the house wherewith I have war: for God commanded me to make haste: forbear thee from meddling with God, who is with me, that he destroy thee not.

[ **22** ] Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and hearkened not unto the words of Necho from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.

[ **23** ] And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, Have me away; for I am sore wounded.

[ **24** ] His servants therefore took him out of that chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had; and they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died, and was buried in one of the sepulchres of his fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.

2 Chronicles 36

[ **11** ] Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.

[ **12** ] And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God, and humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the mouth of the LORD.

[ **13** ] And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from turning unto the LORD God of Israel.

[ **14** ] Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people, transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen; and polluted the house of the LORD which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.

[ **15** ] And the LORD God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place:

[ **16** ] But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy.

[ **17** ] Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age: he gave them all into his hand.

[ **18** ] And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king, and of his princes; all these he brought to Babylon.

[ **19** ] And they burnt the house of God, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels thereof.

[ **20** ] And them that had escaped from the sword carried he away to Babylon; where they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia:

[ **21** ] To fulfil the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths: for as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years.

2 Chronicles 36

[ **22** ] Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,

[ **23** ] Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the LORD God of heaven given me; and he hath charged me to build him an house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Who is there among you of all his people? The LORD his God be with him, and let him go up.

# EZRA

Ezra 9

[ **1** ] Now when these things were done, the princes came to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands, doing according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.

[ **2** ] For they have taken of their daughters for themselves, and for their sons: so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the people of those lands: yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief in this trespass.

[ **3** ] And when I heard this thing, I rent my garment and my mantle, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down astonied.

Ezra 9

[ **5** ] And at the evening sacrifice I arose up from my heaviness; and having rent my garment and my mantle, I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands unto the LORD my God.

[ **6** ] And said, O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God: for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our trespass is grown up unto the heavens.

[ **7** ] Since the days of our fathers have we been in a great trespass unto this day; and for our iniquities have we, our kings, and our priests, been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, and to a spoil, and to confusion of face, as it is this day.

Ezra 9

[ **8** ] And now for a little space grace hath been shewed from the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage.

[ **9** ] For we were bondmen; yet our God hath not forsaken us in our bondage, but hath extended mercy unto us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up the house of our God, and to repair the desolations thereof, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem.

Ezra 9

[ **10** ] And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments,

[ **11** ] Which thou hast commanded by thy servants the prophets, saying, The land, unto which ye go to possess it, is an unclean land with the filthiness of the people of the lands, with their abominations, which have filled it from one end to another with their uncleanness.

[ **12** ] Now therefore give not your daughters unto their sons, neither take their daughters unto your sons, nor seek their peace or their wealth for ever: that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children for ever.

Ezra 10

[ **2** ] And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said unto Ezra, We have trespassed against our God, and have taken strange wives of the people of the land: yet now there is hope in Israel concerning this thing.

[ **3** ] Now therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the counsel of my lord, and of those that tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law.

[ **4** ] Arise; for this matter belongeth unto thee: we also will be with thee: be of good courage, and do it.

Ezra 10

[ **6** ] Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Johanan the son of Eliashib: and when he came thither, he did eat no bread, nor drink water: for he mourned because of the transgression of them that had been carried away.

Ezra 10

[ **10** ] And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them, Ye have transgressed, and have taken strange wives, to increase the trespass of Israel.

[ **11** ] Now therefore make confession unto the LORD God of your fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from the people of the land, and from the strange wives.

Ezra 10

[ **19** ] And they gave their hands that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their trespass.

# NEHEMIAH

Nehemiah 1

[ **5** ] And said, I beseech thee, O LORD God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments:

Nehemiah 1

[ **8** ] Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, If ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations:

[ **9** ] But if ye turn unto me, and keep my commandments, and do them; though there were of you cast out unto the uttermost part of the heaven, yet will I gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen to set my name there.

Nehemiah 1

[ **10** ] Now these are thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy strong hand.

Nehemiah 1

[ **11** ] O Lord, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who desire to fear thy name: and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. For I was the king's cupbearer.

Nehemiah 2

[ **17** ] Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach.

[ **18** ] Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also the king's words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work.

[ **19** ] But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they laughed us to scorn, and despised us, and said, What is this thing that ye do? will ye rebel against the king?

[ **20** ] Then answered I them, and said unto them, The God of heaven, he will prosper us; therefore we his servants will arise and build: but ye have no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem.

Nehemiah 4

[ **13** ] Therefore set I in the lower places behind the wall, and on the higher places, I even set the people after their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows.

[ **14** ] And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, which is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.

Nehemiah 5

[ **7** ] Then I consulted with myself, and I rebuked the nobles, and the rulers, and said unto them, Ye exact usury, every one of his brother. And I set a great assembly against them.

Nehemiah 5

[ **8** ] And I said unto them, We after our ability have redeemed our brethren the Jews, which were sold unto the heathen; and will ye even sell your brethren? or shall they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and found nothing to answer.

Nehemiah 5

[ **9** ] Also I said, It is not good that ye do: ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the heathen our enemies?

Nehemiah 5

[ **14** ] Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even unto the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that is, twelve years, I and my brethren have not eaten the bread of the governor.

[ **15** ] But the former governors that had been before me were chargeable unto the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, beside forty shekels of silver; yea, even their servants bare rule over the people: but so did not I, because of the fear of God.

Nehemiah 5

[ **19** ] Think upon me, my God, for good, according to all that I have done for this people.

Nehemiah 7

[ **2** ] That I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the palace, charge over Jerusalem: for he was a faithful man, and feared God above many.

Nehemiah 7

[ **5** ] And my God put into mine heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I found a register of the genealogy of them which came up at the first, and found written therein,

Nehemiah 7

[ **65** ] And the Tirshatha said unto them, that they should not eat of the most holy things, till there stood up a priest with Urim and Thummim.

Nehemiah 8

[ **5** ] And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people; (for he was above all the people;) and when he opened it, all the people stood up:

Nehemiah 8

[ **6** ] And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshipped the LORD with their faces to the ground.

Nehemiah 8

[ **9** ] And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This day is holy unto the LORD your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law.

Nehemiah 9

[ **1** ] Now in the twenty and fourth day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackclothes, and earth upon them.

Nehemiah 9

[ **2** ] And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers.

Nehemiah 9

[ **3** ] And they stood up in their place, and read in the book of the law of the LORD their God one fourth part of the day; and another fourth part they confessed, and worshipped the LORD their God.

Nehemiah 9

[ **5** ] Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said, Stand up and bless the LORD your God for ever and ever: and blessed be thy glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise.

Nehemiah 9

[ **6** ] Thou, even thou, art LORD alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee.

Nehemiah 9

[ **7** ] Thou art the LORD the God, who didst choose Abram, and broughtest him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gavest him the name of Abraham;

[ **8** ] And foundest his heart faithful before thee, and madest a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Jebusites, and the Girgashites, to give it, I say, to his seed, and hast performed thy words; for thou art righteous:

Nehemiah 9

[ **9** ] And didst see the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heardest their cry by the Red sea;

Nehemiah 9

[ **10** ] And shewedst signs and wonders upon Pharoah, and on all his servants, and on all the people of his land: for thou knewest that they dealt proudly against them. So didst thou get thee a name, as it is this day.

Nehemiah 9

[ **13** ] Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments:

Nehemiah 9

[ **16** ] But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their necks, and hearkened not to thy commandments,

Nehemiah 9

[ **17** ] And refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage: but thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsookest them not.

Nehemiah 9

[ **18** ] Yea, when they had made them a molten calf, and said, This is thy God that brought thee up out of Egypt, and had wrought great provocations;

[ **19** ] Yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in the wilderness: the pillar of the cloud departed not from them by day, to lead them in the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to shew them light, and the way wherein they should go.

Nehemiah 9

[ **20** ] Thou gavest also thy good spirit to instruct them, and withheldest not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst.

Nehemiah 9

[ **26** ] Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee, and cast thy law behind their backs, and slew thy prophets which testified against them to turn them to thee, and they wrought great provocations.

Nehemiah 9

[ **27** ] Therefore thou deliveredst them into the hand of their enemies, who vexed them: and in the time of their trouble, when they cried unto thee, thou heardest them from heaven; and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest them saviours, who saved them out of the hand of their enemies.

Nehemiah 9

[ **28** ] But after they had rest, they did evil again before thee: therefore leftest thou them in the hand of their enemies, so that they had the dominion over them: yet when they returned, and cried unto thee, thou heardest them from heaven; and many times didst thou deliver them according to thy mercies;

Nehemiah 9

[ **29** ] And testifiedst against them, that thou mightest bring them again unto thy law: yet they dealt proudly, and hearkened not unto thy commandments, but sinned against thy judgments, (which if a man do, he shall live in them;) and withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear.

Nehemiah 9

[ **30** ] Yet many years didst thou forbear them, and testifiedst against them by thy spirit in thy prophets: yet would they not give ear: therefore gavest thou them into the hand of the people of the lands.

Nehemiah 9

[ **31** ] Nevertheless for thy great mercies' sake thou didst not utterly consume them, nor forsake them; for thou art a gracious and merciful God.

Nehemiah 9

[ **36** ] Behold, we are servants this day, and for the land that thou gavest unto our fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof, behold, we are servants in it:

[ **37** ] And it yieldeth much increase unto the kings whom thou hast set over us because of our sins: also they have dominion over our bodies, and over our cattle, at their pleasure, and we are in great distress.

Nehemiah 10

[ **31** ] And if the people of the land bring ware or any victuals on the sabbath day to sell, that we would not buy it of them on the sabbath, or on the holy day: and that we would leave the seventh year, and the exaction of every debt.

Nehemiah 10

[ **32** ] Also we made ordinances for us, to charge ourselves yearly with the third part of a shekel for the service of the house of our God;

[ **33** ] For the shewbread, and for the continual meat [grain] offering, and for the continual burnt offering, of the sabbaths, of the new moons, for the set feasts, and for the holy things, and for the sin offerings to make an atonement for Israel, and for all the work of the house of our God.

Nehemiah 10

[ **34** ] And we cast the lots among the priests, the Levites, and the people, for the wood offering, to bring it into the house of our God, after the houses of our fathers, at times appointed year by year, to burn upon the altar of the LORD our God, as it is written in the law:

Nehemiah 10

[ **35** ] And to bring the firstfruits of our ground, and the firstfruits of all fruit of all trees, year by year, unto the house of the LORD:

Nehemiah 10

[ **36** ] Also the firstborn of our sons, and of our cattle, as it is written in the law, and the firstlings of our herds and of our flocks, to bring to the house of our God, unto the priests that minister in the house of our God:

Nehemiah 10

[ **37** ] And that we should bring the firstfruits of our dough, and our offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, of wine and of oil, unto the priests, to the chambers of the house of our God; and the tithes of our ground unto the Levites, that the same Levites might have the tithes in all the cities of our tillage.

Nehemiah 10

[ **38** ] And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, when the Levites take tithes: and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes unto the house of our God, to the chambers, into the treasure house.

Nehemiah 10

[ **39** ] For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring the offering of the corn, of the new wine, and the oil, unto the chambers, where are the vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests that minister, and the porters, and the singers: and we will not forsake the house of our God.

Nehemiah 11

[ **1** ] And the rulers of the people dwelt at Jerusalem: the rest of the people also cast lots, to bring one of ten to dwell in Jerusalem the holy city, and nine parts to dwell in other cities.

[ **2** ] And the people blessed all the men, that willingly offered themselves to dwell at Jerusalem.

Nehemiah 12

[ **43** ] Also that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced: for God had made them rejoice with great joy: the wives also and the children rejoiced: so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off.

Nehemiah 12

[ **46** ] For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God.

[ **47** ] And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, every day his portion: and they sanctified holy things unto the Levites; and the Levites sanctified them unto the children of Aaron.

Nehemiah 13

[ **1** ] On that day they read in the book of Moses in the audience of the people; and therein was found written, that the Ammonite and the Moabite should not come into the congregation of God for ever;

[ **2** ] Because they met not the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against them, that he should curse them: howbeit our God turned the curse into a blessing.

Nehemiah 13

[ **7** ] And I came to Jerusalem, and understood of the evil that Eliashib did for Tobiah, in preparing him a chamber in the courts of the house of God.

[ **8** ] And it grieved me sore: therefore I cast forth all the household stuff of Tobiah out of the chamber.

[ **9** ] Then I commanded, and they cleansed the chambers: and thither brought I again the vessels of the house of God, with the meat [grain] offering and the frankincense.

Nehemiah 13

[ **10** ] And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them: for the Levites and the singers, that did the work, were fled every one to his field.

[ **11** ] Then contended I with the rulers, and said, Why is the house of God forsaken? And I gathered them together, and set them in their place.

Nehemiah 13

[ **13** ] And I made treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah: and next to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah: for they were counted faithful, and their office was to distribute unto their brethren.

Nehemiah 13

[ **14** ] Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for the offices thereof.

Nehemiah 13

[ **15** ] In those days saw I in Judah some treading wine presses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day: and I testified against them in the day wherein they sold victuals.

[ **16** ] There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, which brought fish, and all manner of ware, and sold on the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem.

[ **17** ] Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them, What evil thing is this that ye do, and profane the sabbath day?

[ **18** ] Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath.

Nehemiah 13

[ **19** ] And it came to pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath, I commanded that the gates should be shut, and charged that they should not be opened till after the sabbath: and some of my servants set I at the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath day.

Nehemiah 13

[ **22** ] And I commanded the Levites that they should cleanse themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember me, O my God, concerning this also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy mercy.

Nehemiah 13

[ **23** ] In those days also saw I Jews that had married wives of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab:

[ **24** ] And their children spake half in the speech of Ashdod, and could not speak in the Jews' language, but according to the language of each people.

[ **25** ] And I contended with them, and cursed them, and smote certain of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God, saying, Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take their daughters unto your sons, or for yourselves.

[ **26** ] Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many nations was there no king like him, who was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless even him did outlandish women cause to sin.

[ **27** ] Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this great evil, to transgress against our God in marrying strange wives?

Nehemiah 13

[ **28** ] And one of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, was son in law to Sanballat the Horonite: therefore I chased him from me.

[ **29** ] Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites.

# ESTHER

Esther 8

[ **3** ] And Esther spake yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and besought him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his device that he had devised against the Jews.

[ **4** ] Then the king held out the golden sceptre toward Esther. So Esther arose, and stood before the king,

[ **5** ] And said, If it please the king, and if I have found favour in his sight, and the thing seem right before the king, and I be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews which are in all the king's provinces:

[ **6** ] For how can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?

Esther 8

[ **17** ] And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a good day. And many of the people of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews fell upon them.

Esther 9

[ **1** ] Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king's commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them, (though it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that hated them;)

[ **2** ] The Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them fell upon all people.

Esther 9

[ **24** ] Because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is, the lot, to consume them, and to destroy them;

[ **25** ] But when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.

[ **26** ] Wherefore they called these days Purim after the name of Pur. Therefore for all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and which had come unto them,

[ **27** ] The Jews ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves unto them, so as it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to their writing, and according to their appointed time every year;

[ **28** ] And that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish from their seed.

# JOB

Job 1

[ **1** ] There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.

Job 1

[ **4** ] And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them. [5] And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.

Job 1

[ **6** ] Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

[ **7** ] And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

[ **8** ] And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?

Job 1

[ **9** ] Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?

[ **10** ] Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.

[ **11** ] But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.

[ **12** ] And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.

Job 1

[ **13** ] And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:

[ **14** ] And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:

[ **15** ] And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

[ **16** ] While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

[ **17** ] While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

[ **18** ] While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:

[ **19** ] And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

[ **20** ] Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,

[ **21** ] And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.

[ **22** ] In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.

Job 2

[ **1** ] Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.

[ **2** ] And the LORD said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

[ **3** ] And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.

[ **4** ] And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.

[ **5** ] But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.

[ **6** ] And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life.

[ **7** ] So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.

[ **8** ] And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes.

[ **9** ] Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.

[ **10** ] But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.

Job 4

[ **7** ] Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?

Job 4

[ **8** ] Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.

[ **9** ] By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.

Job 5

[ **2** ] For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one.

Job 5

[ **3** ] I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.

[ **4** ] His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them.

[ **5** ] Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance.

Job 5

[ **11** ] To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.

Job 5

[ **12** ] He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.

Job 5

[ **13** ] He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.

[ **14** ] They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night.

Job 5

[ **15** ] But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.

[ **16** ] So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.

Job 5

[ **17** ] Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:

[ **18** ] For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.

[ **19** ] He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.

[ **20** ] In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword.

[ **21** ] Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.

[ **22** ] At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.

[ **23** ] For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.

[ **24** ] And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.

[ **25** ] Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth.

[ **26** ] Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season.

[ **27** ] Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good.

Job 8

[ **3** ] Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice?

Job 8

[ **5** ] If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;

[ **6** ] If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.

[ **7** ] Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.

Job 8

[ **11** ] Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water?

[ **12** ] Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not cut down, it withereth before any other herb.

[ **13** ] So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish:

[ **14** ] Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider's web.

[ **15** ] He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.

[ **16** ] He is green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden.

[ **17** ] His roots are wrapped about the heap, and seeth the place of stones.

[ **18** ] If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen thee.

[ **19** ] Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow.

Job 8

[ **20** ] Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers:

Job 9

[ **24** ] The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he?

Job 11

[ **13** ] If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;

[ **14** ] If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.

[ **15** ] For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:

[ **16** ] Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away:

[ **17** ] And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.

[ **18** ] And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.

[ **19** ] Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee.

Job 11

[ **20** ] But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.

Job 13

[ **10** ] He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.

Job 15

[ **20** ] The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.

[ **21** ] A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.

[ **22** ] He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword.

[ **23** ] He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.

[ **24** ] Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.

[ **25** ] For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty.

[ **26** ] He runneth upon him, even on his neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers:

[ **27** ] Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on his flanks.

[ **28** ] And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps.

[ **29** ] He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth.

[ **30** ] He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.

[ **31** ] Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompence.

[ **32** ] It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green.

[ **33** ] He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive.

Job 15

[ **34** ] For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.

[ **35** ] They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepareth deceit.

Job 17

[ **4** ] For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt them.

Job 17

[ **5** ] He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.

Job 17

[ **9** ] The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.

Job 22

[ **5** ] Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite?

[ **6** ] For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing.

[ **7** ] Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.

[ **8** ] But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it.

[ **9** ] Thou has sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.

[ **10** ] Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee;

[ **11** ] Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee.

Job 22

[ **15** ] Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?

[ **16** ] Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood:

[ **17** ] Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them?

[ **18** ] Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

[ **19** ] The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn.

Job 22

[ **21** ] Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.

[ **22** ] Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.

[ **23** ] If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.

[ **24** ] Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.

[ **25** ] Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.

[ **26** ] For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.

[ **27** ] Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows.

[ **28** ] Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.

[ **29** ] When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.

[ **30** ] He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.

Job 29

[ **1** ] Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,

[ **2** ] Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me;

[ **3** ] When his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness;

[ **4** ] As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle;

[ **5** ] When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me;

[ **6** ] When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;

[ **7** ] When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street!

[ **8** ] The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, and stood up.

[ **9** ] The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.

[ **10** ] The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.

[ **11** ] When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:

[ **12** ] Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.

[ **13** ] The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.

[ **14** ] I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.

[ **15** ] I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.

[ **16** ] I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.

[ **17** ] And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.

[ **18** ] Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand.

[ **19** ] My root was spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch.

[ **20** ] My glory was fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand.

[ **21** ] Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel.

[ **22** ] After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them.

[ **23** ] And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.

[ **24** ] If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.

[ **25** ] I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners.

Job 31

[ **13** ] If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me;

[ **14** ] What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?

[ **15** ] Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb?

Job 31

[ **16** ] If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;

[ **17** ] Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof;

[ **18** ] (For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb;)

[ **19** ] If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering;

[ **20** ] If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;

[ **21** ] If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:

[ **22** ] Then let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.

[ **23** ] For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure.

Job 31

[ **24** ] If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence;

[ **25** ] If I rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had gotten much;

[ **26** ] If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness;

[ **27** ] And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand:

[ **28** ] This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above.

Job 31

[ **29** ] If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him:

[ **30** ] Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul.

[ **31** ] If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied.

[ **32** ] The stranger did not lodge in the street: but I opened my doors to the traveller.

[ **33** ] If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom:

[ **34** ] Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence, and went not out of the door?

Job 31

[ **38** ] If my land cry against me, or that the furrows likewise thereof complain;

[ **39** ] If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life:

[ **40** ] Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.

Job 32

[ **21** ] Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.

[ **22** ] For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.

Job 33

[ **23** ] If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness:

[ **24** ] Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.

[ **25** ] His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth:

[ **26** ] He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.

Job 33

[ **27** ] He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;

[ **28** ] He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.

[ **29** ] Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man,

[ **30** ] To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.

Job 34

[ **26** ] He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others;

[ **27** ] Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways:

[ **28** ] So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.

Job 36

[ **7** ] He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted.

Job 36

[ **8** ] And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction;

[ **9** ] Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded.

[ **10** ] He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.

Job 36

[ **11** ] If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.

Job 40

[ **6** ] Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

[ **7** ] Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

[ **8** ] Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?

Job 40

[ **11** ] Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.

[ **12** ] Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.

[ **13** ] Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret.

Job 42

[ **7** ] And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.

[ **8** ] Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.

Isaiah 9

[ **12** ] The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

[ **14** ] Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day.

Isaiah 14

[ **16** ] They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;

Isaiah 26

[ **2** ] Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in.

Isaiah 26

[ **3** ] Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

Isaiah 28

[ **7** ] But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.

Isaiah 28

[ **10** ] For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

Isaiah 28

[ **11** ] For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.

[ **12** ] To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.

Isaiah 30

[ **1** ] Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:

Isaiah 30

[ **2** ] That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!

[ **3** ] Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.

[ **15** ] For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.

Isaiah 33

[ **6** ] And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.

Isaiah 33

[ **14** ] The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?

[ **15** ] He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;

[ **16** ] He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.

Isaiah 33

[ **20** ] Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.

[ **21** ] But there the glorious LORD will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.

Isaiah 38

[ **1** ] In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live.

[ **2** ] Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the LORD,

[ **3** ] And said, Remember now, O LORD, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.

[ **4** ] Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying,

[ **5** ] Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years.

[ **6** ] And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will defend this city.

[ **7** ] And this shall be a sign unto thee from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he hath spoken;

[ **8** ] Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down.

Isaiah 40

[ **31** ] But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Isaiah 42

[ **24** ] Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law.

Isaiah 43

[ **22** ] But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel.

[ **23** ] Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt offerings; neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to serve with an offering, nor wearied thee with incense.

Isaiah 43

[ **24** ] Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities.

Isaiah 43

[ **25** ] I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.

[ **26** ] Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.

[ **22** ] There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.

Isaiah 53

[ **12** ] Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Isaiah 54

[ **11** ] O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires.

[ **12** ] And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones.

[ **13** ] And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children.

[ **14** ] In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee.

[ **15** ] Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.

[ **7** ] Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

Isaiah 55

[ **8** ] For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

[ **9** ] For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Isaiah 55

[ **10** ] For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:

[ **11** ] So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Isaiah 56

[ **1** ] Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.

[ **3** ] Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.

Isaiah 56

[ **6** ] Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;

[ **7** ] Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.

Isaiah 58

[ **6** ] Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?

[ **7** ] Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?

[ **8** ] Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.

[ **9** ] Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;

Isaiah 58

[ **10** ] And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday:

[ **11** ] And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.

[ **12** ] And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.

Isaiah 58

[ **13** ] If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:

[ **14** ] Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

Isaiah 59

[ **20** ] And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.

[ **1** ] The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

Isaiah 61

[ **3** ] To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

Isaiah 61

[ **5** ] And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.

[ **6** ] But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.

Isaiah 61

[ **8** ] For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.

Isaiah 61

[ **10** ] I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

Isaiah 64

[ **4** ] For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.

Isaiah 65

[ **11** ] But ye are they that forsake the LORD, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish the drink offering unto that number.

[ **12** ] Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not.

[ **13** ] Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed:

[ **14** ] Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit.

Isaiah 66

[ **2** ] For all those things hath mine hand made, and those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.

# JEREMIAH

Jeremiah 2

[ **3** ] Israel was holiness unto the LORD, and the firstfruits of his increase: all that devour him shall offend; evil shall come upon them, saith the LORD.

[ **16** ] Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.

Jeremiah 7

[ **6** ] If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt:

[ **7** ] Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever.

Jeremiah 8

[ **6** ] I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle.

Jeremiah 8

[ **10** ] Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.

Jeremiah 12

[ **15** ] And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them out I will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.

[ **16** ] And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, The LORD liveth; as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built in the midst of my people.

[ **17** ] But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith the LORD.

Jeremiah 15

[ **6** ] Thou hast forsaken me, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with repenting.

Jeremiah 17

[ **5** ] Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.

[ **6** ] For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.

Jeremiah 17

[ **7** ] Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.

[ **8** ] For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

Jeremiah 17

[ **9** ] The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Jeremiah 17

[ **10** ] I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

Jeremiah 17

[ **11** ] As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.

[ **13** ] O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.

[ **21** ] Thus saith the LORD; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem;

[ **22** ] Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.

Jeremiah 17

[ **27** ] But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.

Jeremiah 18

[ **8** ] If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.

Jeremiah 18

[ **9** ] And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;

[ **10** ] If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.

Jeremiah 18

[ **11** ] Now therefore go to, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: return ye now every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good.

Jeremiah 21

[ **12** ] O house of David, thus saith the LORD; Execute judgment in the morning, and deliver him that is spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my fury go out like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.

Jeremiah 21

[ **14** ] But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the LORD: and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall devour all things round about it.

Jeremiah 22

[ **3** ] Thus saith the LORD; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place.

[ **4** ] For if ye do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his people.

[ **5** ] But if ye will not hear these words, I swear by myself, saith the LORD, that this house shall become a desolation.

Jeremiah 32

[ **18** ] Thou shewest lovingkindness unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the LORD of hosts, is his name,

Jeremiah 32

[ **19** ] Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for thine eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:

Jeremiah 33

[ **20** ] Thus saith the LORD; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season;

[ **21** ] Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers.

Jeremiah 33

[ **22** ] As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.

Jeremiah 39

[ **16** ] Go and speak to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be accomplished in that day before thee.

[ **17** ] But I will deliver thee in that day, saith the LORD: and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid.

[ **18** ] For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the LORD.

# LAMENTATIONS

Lamentations 3

[ **22** ] It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.

[ **23** ] They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

Lamentations 3

[ **25** ] The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.

Lamentations 3

[ **26** ] It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.

Lamentations 3

[ **31** ] For the Lord will not cast off for ever:

[ **32** ] But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.

Lamentations 3

[ **34** ] To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth,

[ **35** ] To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High,

[ **36** ] To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not.

Lamentations 3

[ **39** ] Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?

[ **40** ] Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.

[ **41** ] Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.

Lamentations 3

[ **57** ] Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not.

[ **58** ] O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life.

# EZEKIEL

Ezekiel 3

[ **18** ] When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

[ **19** ] Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

Ezekiel 3

[ **20** ] Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

[ **21** ] Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.

Ezekiel 16

[ **49** ] Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

[ **50** ] And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.

Ezekiel 16

[ **52** ] Thou also, which hast judged thy sisters, bear thine own shame for thy sins that thou hast committed more abominable than they: they are more righteous than thou: yea, be thou confounded also, and bear thy shame, in that thou hast justified thy sisters.

Ezekiel 18

[ **5** ] But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right,

[ **6** ] And hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbour's wife, neither hath come near to a menstruous woman,

[ **7** ] And hath not oppressed any, but hath restored to the debtor his pledge, hath spoiled none by violence, hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment;

[ **8** ] He that hath not given forth upon usury, neither hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true judgment between man and man,

[ **9** ] Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my judgments, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD.

Ezekiel 18

[ **19** ] Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live.

[ **20** ] The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.

Ezekiel 18

[ **21** ] But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.

[ **22** ] All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.

Ezekiel 18

[ **23** ] Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?

Ezekiel 18

[ **24** ] But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.

# DANIEL

Daniel 1

[ **9** ] Now God had brought Daniel into favour and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs.

Daniel 1

[ **17** ] As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.

Daniel 2

[ **19** ] Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.

Daniel 2

[ **20** ] Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:

Daniel 2

[21] And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:

Daniel 2

[ **22** ] He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.

Daniel 2

[ **23** ] I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the king's matter.

Daniel 3

[ **17** ] If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. [18] But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.

Daniel 3

[ **28** ] Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.

Daniel 4

[ **17** ] This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.

Daniel 4

[ **27** ] Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity.

Daniel 4

[ **34** ] And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation:

[ **35** ] And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?

Daniel 4

[ **37** ] Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.

Daniel 5

[ **18** ] O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour:

[ **19** ] And for the majesty that he gave him, all people, nations, and languages, trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew; and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he set up; and whom he would he put down.

[ **20** ] But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him:

[ **21** ] And he was driven from the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses: they fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the most high God ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he will.

Daniel 5

[ **22** ] And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this;

[ **23** ] But hast lifted up thyself against the LORD of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified:

[ **24** ] Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written.

[ **25** ] And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.

[ **26** ] This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.

[ **27** ] TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.

[ **28** ] PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.

Daniel 6

[ **21** ] Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever.

[ **22** ] My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.

Daniel 6

[ **26** ] I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end.

[ **27** ] He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.

Daniel 7

[ **18** ] But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.

Daniel 9

[ **3** ] And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplication, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:

Daniel 9

[ **4** ] And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;

Daniel 9

[ **5** ] We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:

Daniel 9

[ **6** ] Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.

Daniel 9

[ **7** ] O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee.

Daniel 9

[ **8** ] O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.

Daniel 9

[ **9** ] To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him;

Daniel 9

[ **10** ] Neither have we obeyed the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.

Daniel 9

[ **11** ] Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him.

Daniel 9

[ **13** ] As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth.

Daniel 9

[ **14** ] Therefore hath the LORD watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the LORD our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we obeyed not his voice.

Daniel 9

[ **16** ] O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all that are about us.

Daniel 9

[ **18** ] O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies.

Daniel 10

[ **11** ] And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.

[ **12** ] Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.

Daniel 12

[ **3** ] And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

# HOSEA

Hosea 6

[ **6** ] For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

Hosea 7

[ **13** ] Woe unto them! for they have fled from me: destruction unto them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me.

Hosea 7

[ **14** ] And they have not cried unto me with their heart, when they howled upon their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, and they rebel against me.

Hosea 10

[ **13** ] Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.

[ **14** ] Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Beth-arbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon her children.

# JOEL

Joel 2

[ **12** ] Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: [13] And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.

[ **14** ] Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat [grain] offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God?

# OBADIAH

Obadiah 1

[ **10** ] For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.

[ **11** ] In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them.

Obadiah 1

[ **12** ] But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress.

Obadiah 1

[ **13** ] Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity;

[ **14** ] Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress.

Obadiah 1

[ **15** ] For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.

# JONAH

Jonah 2

[ **8** ] They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

Jonah 2

[ **9** ] But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.

Jonah 4

[ **2** ] And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.

Jonah 4

[ **10** ] Then said the LORD, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night:

[ **11** ] And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?

# MICAH

Micah 2

[ **1** ] Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.

Micah 2

[ **2** ] And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.

Micah 2

[ **7** ] O thou that art named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the LORD straitened? are these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?

Micah 2

[ **8** ] Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye pull off the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from war.

Micah 2

[ **9** ] The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever.

Micah 3

[ **1** ] And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house of Israel; Is it not for you to know judgment?

Micah 3

[ **2** ] Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones;

[ **3** ] Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.

[ **4** ] Then shall they cry unto the LORD, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings.

Micah 3

[ **9** ] Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity.

[ **10** ] They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.

[ **11** ] The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, Is not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us.

[ **12** ] Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest.

Micah 4

[ **1** ] But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.

[ **2** ] And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

[ **3** ] And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

[ **4** ] But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken it.

[ **5** ] For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever.

[ **6** ] In that day, saith the LORD, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted;

[ **7** ] And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever.

Micah 4

[ **11** ] Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion.

[ **12** ] But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor.

Micah 6

[ **6** ] Wherewith shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old?

[ **7** ] Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?

[ **8** ] He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

Micah 6

[ **9** ] The LORD's voice crieth unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.

Micah 6

[ **10** ] Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable?

[ **11** ] Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?

[ **12** ] For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.

[ **13** ] Therefore also will I make thee sick in smiting thee, in making thee desolate because of thy sins.

[ **14** ] Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied; and thy casting down shall be in the midst of thee; and thou shalt take hold, but shalt not deliver; and that which thou deliverest will I give up to the sword.

[ **15** ] Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not reap; thou shalt tread the olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil; and sweet wine, but shalt not drink wine.

Micah 6

[ **16** ] For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and ye walk in their counsels; that I should make thee a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof an hissing: therefore ye shall bear the reproach of my people.

Micah 7

[ **2** ] The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.

[ **3** ] That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.

Micah 7

[ **7** ] Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.

Micah 7

[ **8** ] Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me.

Micah 7

[ **9** ] I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness.

Micah 7

[ **18** ] Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.

Micah 7

[ **19** ] He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

Micah 7

[ **20** ] Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.

# NAHUM

Nahum 1

[ **2** ] God is jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies.

Nahum 1

[ **3** ] The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

Nahum 1

[ **6** ] Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.

Nahum 1

[ **7** ] The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.

Nahum 1

[ **11** ] There is one come out of thee, that imagineth evil against the LORD, a wicked counseller.

Nahum 2

[ **2** ] For the LORD hath turned away the excellency of Jacob, as the excellency of Israel: for the emptiers have emptied them out, and marred their vine branches.

Nahum 2

[ **3** ] The shield of his mighty men is made red, the valiant men are in scarlet: the chariots shall be with flaming torches in the day of his preparation, and the fir trees shall be terribly shaken.

Nahum 2

[ **6** ] The gates of the rivers shall be opened, and the palace shall be dissolved.

Nahum 2

[ **7** ] And Huzzab shall be led away captive, she shall be brought up, and her maids shall lead her as with the voice of doves, tabering upon their breasts.

Nahum 3

[ **1** ] Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and robbery; the prey departeth not;

Nahum 3

[ **2** ] The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the pransing horses, and of the jumping chariots.

[ **3** ] The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword and the glittering spear: and there is a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcases; and there is none end of their corpses; they stumble upon their corpses: [4] Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts.

Nahum 3

[ **19** ] There is no healing of thy bruise; thy wound is grievous: all that hear the bruit of thee shall clap the hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually?

# HABAKKUK

Habakkuk 2

[ **4** ] Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

Habakkuk 2

[ **6** ] Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? and to him that ladeth himself with thick clay!

[ **7** ] Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them?

# ZEPHANIAH

Zephaniah 1

[ **4** ] I will also stretch out mine hand upon Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, and the name of the Chemarims with the priests;

[ **5** ] And them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops; and them that worship and that swear by the LORD, and that swear by Malcham;

[ **6** ] And them that are turned back from the LORD; and those that have not sought the LORD, nor inquired for him.

Zephaniah 1

[ **12** ] And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their lees: that say in their heart, The LORD will not do good, neither will he do evil.

[ **13** ] Therefore their goods shall become a booty, and their houses a desolation: they shall also build houses, but not inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof.

Zephaniah 2

[ **3** ] Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD's anger.

Zephaniah 3

[ **2** ] She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God.

Zephaniah 3

[ **7** ] I said, Surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt receive instruction; so their dwelling should not be cut off, howsoever I punished them: but they rose early, and corrupted all their doings.

# HAGGAI

Haggai 1

[ **3** ] Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying,

[ **4** ] Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house lie waste?

[ **5** ] Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.

Haggai 1

[ **6** ] Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes.

[ **7** ] Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.

[ **8** ] Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the LORD.

Haggai 1

[ **9** ] Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the LORD of hosts. Because of mine house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house.

[ **10** ] Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit.

[ **11** ] And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the hands.

Haggai 1

[ **12** ] Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the LORD their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the LORD their God had sent him, and the people did fear before the LORD.

[ **13** ] Then spake Haggai the LORD's messenger in the LORD's message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith the LORD.

[ **14** ] And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and did work in the house of the LORD of hosts, their God,

Haggai 2

[ **1** ] In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the LORD by the prophet Haggai, saying,

[ **2** ] Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and to the residue of the people, saying,

[ **3** ] Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing?

[ **4** ] Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work: for I am with you, saith the LORD of hosts:

[ **5** ] According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, so my spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not.

[ **6** ] For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;

[ **7** ] And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.

[ **8** ] The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts.

[ **9** ] The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.

Haggai 2

[ **17** ] I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the labours of your hands; yet ye turned not to me, saith the LORD.

# ZECHARIAH

Zechariah 4

[ **6** ] Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.

Zechariah 7

[ **9** ] Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother:

Zechariah 7

[ **10** ] And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.

Zechariah 7

[ **11** ] But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.

[ **12** ] Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts.

[ **13** ] Therefore it is come to pass, that as he cried, and they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith the LORD of hosts:

Zechariah 8

[ **16** ] These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates:

Zechariah 8

[ **17** ] And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith the LORD.

Zechariah 8

[ **19** ] Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love the truth and peace.

# MALACHI

Malachi 1

[ **7** ] Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the LORD is contemptible.

Malachi 1

[ **13** ] Ye said also, Behold, what a weariness is it! and ye have snuffed at it, saith the LORD of hosts; and ye brought that which was torn, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye brought an offering: should I accept this of your hand? saith the LORD.

Malachi 1

[ **14** ] But cursed be the deceiver, which hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the LORD a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, saith the LORD of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the heathen.

Malachi 3

[ **5** ] And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts.

Malachi 3

[ **8** ] Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.

[ **9** ] Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.

Malachi 3

[ **10** ] Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat [food] in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

Malachi 3

[ **16** ] Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.

[ **17** ] And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
