³² And Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben. For she said, Because LORD has looked upon my affliction, for now my husband will love me.

²⁵ And when Moses saw that the people were broken loose, (for Aaron had let them loose for a derision among their enemies,) ²⁶ then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Whoever is on LORD's side, come to me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him. ²⁷ And he said to them, Thus says LORD, the God of Israel, Put ye every man his sword upon his thigh, and go to and fro from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor. ²⁸ And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses. And there fell of the people that day about three thousand men. ²⁹ And Moses said, Consecrate yourselves today to LORD, yea, every man against his son, and against his brother, that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.

⁶ And Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons, Let not the hair of your heads go loose, neither tear your clothes, that ye not die, and that he not be angry with all the congregation, but let your brothers, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which LORD has kindled.

¹¹ neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother,

¹⁷ And this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God. But thou have spoken of thy servant's house for a great while to come, and have regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O LORD God.

²⁴ Men therefore fear him. He does not regard any who are wise of heart.

¹⁸ Then they said, Come, and let us devise devices against Jeremiah. For the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.

⁵ My covenant of life and peace was with him. And I gave them to him that he might fear, and he feared me, and stood in awe of my name. ⁶ The law of truth was in his mouth, and unrighteousness was not found in his lips. He walked with me in peace and uprightness, and turned many away from iniquity. ⁷ For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth. For he is the messenger of LORD of hosts.

³⁷ He who loves father or mother above me is not worthy of me, and he who loves son or daughter above me is not worthy of me.

⁴⁸ But having answered, he said to the man who told him, Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?

¹⁶ And they send out their disciples to him, with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that thou are true, and teach the way of God in truth, and it is not a concern to thee about a man, for thou look not to the personage of men.

²⁶ If any man comes to me, and does not regard as inferior his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, and besides his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

¹⁶ So that henceforth we know no man according to flesh, and even if we have known Christ according to flesh, yet now we know him no longer.

¹⁰ For do I now trust men or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I were still pleasing men I would not be a bondman of Christ.

⁴ but as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the good news, thus we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who proves our hearts.

²¹ I solemnly testify before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the chosen agents, that thou keep these things without prejudice, doing nothing from partiality.

⁷ And Aaron shall burn in it incense of sweet spices. Every morning, when he dresses the lamps, he shall burn it. ⁸ And when Aaron lights the lamps at evening, he shall burn it, a perpetual incense before LORD throughout your generations.

⁹ but its innards and its legs he shall wash with water. And the priest shall burn the whole on the altar, for a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to LORD.

¹³ but the innards and the legs he shall wash with water. And the priest shall offer the whole, and burn it upon the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to LORD.

¹⁷ And he shall rend it by the wings of it, but shall not divide it apart, and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to LORD.

¹² And he killed the burnt offering. And Aaron's sons delivered to him the blood, and he sprinkled it upon the altar round about. ¹³ And they delivered the burnt offering to him, piece by piece, and the head, and he burnt them upon the altar.

¹¹ and that ye may teach the sons of Israel all the statutes which LORD has spoken to them by Moses.

⁴⁰ to be a memorial to the sons of Israel, to the end that no stranger, who is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to burn incense before LORD, that he not be as Korah, and as his company, as LORD spoke to him by Moses.

⁴⁶ And Moses said to Aaron, Take thy censer, and put fire in it from off the altar, and lay incense on it, and carry it quickly to the congregation, and make atonement for them, for there is wrath gone out from LORD. The plague has begun.

⁹ And thou shall come to the priests the Levites, and to the judge who shall be in those days, and thou shall inquire. And they shall show thee the sentence of judgment. ¹⁰ And thou shall do according to the tenor of the sentence which they shall show thee from that place which LORD shall choose. And thou shall observe to do according to all that they shall teach thee, ¹¹ according to the tenor of the law which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shall do. Thou shall not turn aside from the sentence, which they shall show thee, to the right hand, nor to the left.

⁸ Take heed in the disease of leprosy, that thou observe diligently, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you. As I commanded them, so ye shall observe to do.

⁹ And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it to the priests the sons of Levi, who bore the ark of the covenant of LORD, and to all the elders of Israel. ¹⁰ And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, in the set time of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles, ¹¹ when all Israel has come to appear before LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shall read this law before all Israel in their hearing. ¹² Assemble the people, the men and the women and the little ones, and thy sojourner who is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law, ¹³ and that their sons who have not known may hear, and learn to fear LORD your God as long as ye live in the land where ye go over the Jordan to possess it.

²⁸ And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? And did I give to the house of thy father all the offerings of the sons of Israel made by fire?

⁸ and with them the Levites, even Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tob-adonijah, the Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests. ⁹ And they taught in Judah, having the book of the law of LORD with them. And they went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught among the people. ¹⁰ And the fear of LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.

¹⁸ And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said to him, It does not pertain to thee, Uzziah, to burn incense to LORD, but to the priests the sons of Aaron who are consecrated to burn incense. Go out of the sanctuary. For thou have trespassed, neither shall it be for thine honor from LORD God.

²² And Hezekiah spoke encouragingly to all the Levites who had good understanding in the service of LORD. So they ate throughout the feast for the seven days, offering sacrifices of peace offerings, and making confession to LORD, the God of their fathers.

¹ And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the broad place that was before the water gate. And they spoke to Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which LORD had commanded to Israel. ² And Ezra the priest brought the law before the assembly, both men and women, and all who could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month. ³ And he read in it before the broad place that was before the water gate from early morning until midday, in the presence of the men and the women, and of those who could understand. And the ears of all the people were attentive to the book of the law. ⁴ And Ezra the scribe stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose. And beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Uriah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand, and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchijah, and Hashum, and Hashbaddanah, Zechariah, and Meshullam. 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. ⁶ And Ezra blessed LORD, the great God. And all the people answered, Truly, Truly, with the lifting up of their hands. And they bowed their heads, and worshiped LORD with their faces to the ground. ⁷ Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law. And the people stood in their place. ⁸ And they read in the book, in the law of God, distinctly, and they gave the sense, so that they understood the reading. ⁹ And Nehemiah, who was the governor, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites who taught the people, said to all the people, This day is holy to LORD your God; do not mourn nor weep. For all the people wept when they heard the words of the law.

¹³ And on the second day were gathered together the heads of fathers of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, to Ezra the scribe, even to give attention to the words of the law. ¹⁴ And they found written in the law how that LORD had commanded by Moses that the sons of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month, ¹⁵ and that they should publish and proclaim in all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying, Go forth to the mount, and fetch olive branches, and branches of wild olive, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written.

¹⁸ Also day by day, from the first day to the last day, he read in the book of the law of God. And they kept the feast seven days, and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly according to the ordinance.

¹⁹ Then thou will delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt offering and in whole burnt offering. Then they will offer bullocks upon thine altar.

²⁷ And when they have accomplished the days, it shall be that upon the eighth day, and forward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings upon the altar, and your peace offerings. And I will accept you, says the lord LORD.

²³ And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and the common, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean. ²⁴ And in a controversy they shall stand to judge. They shall judge it according to my ordinances. And they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all my appointed feasts, and they shall hallow my sabbaths.

⁶ My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because thou have rejected knowledge, I also will reject thee, that thou shall be no priest to me. Since thou have forgotten the law of thy God, I also will forget thy sons.

⁶ The law of truth was in his mouth, and unrighteousness was not found in his lips. He walked with me in peace and uprightness, and turned many away from iniquity. ⁷ For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth. For he is the messenger of LORD of hosts. ⁸ But ye are turned aside out of the way. Ye have caused many to stumble in the law. Ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, says LORD of hosts.

² The scholars and the Pharisees sit on Moses' seat. ³ All things therefore, however many they may tell you to observe, observe and do, but do not ye according to their works, for they say, and do not.

⁹ that, according to the custom of the priesthood, he was chosen by lot to burn incense after entering into the temple of the Lord. ¹⁰ And the whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense.

¹⁵ So when they ate breakfast, Jesus says to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonah, do thou love me more than these things? He says to him, Yea, Lord. Thou know that I love thee. He says to him, Feed my lambs. ¹⁶ He says to him again a second time, Simon, son of Jonah, do thou love me? He says to him, Yea, Lord. Thou know that I love thee. He says to him, Feed my sheep.

²⁵ Whereupon he is able also to save to the uttermost those who come to God through him, being always alive in order to intercede on their behalf.

²⁴ For the Christ entered not into a holy place made with hands, representative of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us.

³ And another agent came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer. And much incense was given to him, so that he would give with the prayers of all the sanctified upon the golden altar before the throne. ⁴ And the vapor of the incense, with the prayers of the sanctified, ascended before God out of the agent's hand. ⁵ And the agent who took the censer, also filled it from the fire of the altar, and cast it to the earth. And there occurred thunders, and voices, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

⁸ And LORD spoke to Aaron, And I, behold, I have given thee the charge of my heave offerings, even all the hallowed things of the sons of Israel. I have given them to thee by reason of the anointing, and to thy sons, as a portion forever. ⁹ This shall be thine of the most holy things, reserved from the fire: every oblation of theirs, even every meal offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs, which they shall render to me, shall be most holy for thee and for thy sons. ¹⁰ As the most holy things thou shall eat of it; every male shall eat of it. It shall be holy to thee. ¹¹ And this is thine: the heave offering of their gift, even all the wave offerings of the sons of Israel. I have given them to thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, as a portion forever. Everyone who is clean in thy house shall eat of it. ¹² All the best of the oil, and all the best of the vintage, and of the grain, the first-fruits of them which they give to LORD, I have given them to thee. ¹³ The first-ripe fruits of all that is in their land, which they bring to LORD, shall be thine. Everyone who is clean in thy house shall eat of it. ¹⁴ Everything devoted in Israel shall be thine. ¹⁵ Everything that opens the womb, of all flesh which they offer to LORD, both of man and beast shall be thine. Nevertheless the firstborn of man thou shall surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts thou shall redeem. ¹⁶ And those that are to be redeemed of them from a month old shall thou redeem, according to thine estimation, for the money of five shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary (the same is twenty gerahs). ¹⁷ But the firstling of an ox, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shall not redeem. They are holy. Thou shall sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shall burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savor to LORD. ¹⁸ And the flesh of them shall be thine. As the wave-breast and as the right thigh, it shall be thine. ¹⁹ All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the sons of Israel offer to LORD, I have given thee, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, as a portion forever. It is a covenant of salt forever before LORD to thee and to thy seed with thee. ²⁰ And LORD said to Aaron, Thou shall have no inheritance in their land, neither shall thou have any portion among them. I am thy portion and thine inheritance among the sons of Israel.

² Command the sons of Israel, that they give to the Levites from the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in. And ye shall give suburbs for the cities round about them to the Levites. ³ And they shall have the cities to dwell in, and their suburbs shall be for their cattle, and for their substance, and for all their beasts. ⁴ And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give to the Levites, shall be from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about. ⁵ And ye shall measure outside the city for the east side two thousand cubits, and for the south side two thousand cubits, and for the west side two thousand cubits, and for the north side two thousand cubits, the city being in the midst. This shall be to them the suburbs of the cities. ⁶ And of the cities which ye shall give to the Levites, there shall be the six cities of refuge, which ye shall give for the manslayer to flee to. And besides them ye shall give forty-two cities. ⁷ All the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty-eight cities, them with their suburbs. ⁸ And concerning the cities which ye shall give of the possession of the sons of Israel, from the many ye shall take many, and from the few ye shall take few. Everyone according to his inheritance which he inherits shall give of his cities to the Levites.

¹ The priests the Levites, even all the tribe of Levi, shall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel. They shall eat the offerings of LORD made by fire, and his inheritance. ² And they shall have no inheritance among their brothers. LORD is their inheritance as he has spoken to them. ³ And this shall be the priests' due from the people, from those who offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep: that they shall give to the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw. ⁴ The first-fruits of thy grain, of thy new wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, thou shall give him. ⁵ For LORD thy God has chosen him out of all thy tribes to stand to minister in the name of LORD, him and his sons forever.

²³ All this, O king, Araunah gives to the king. And Araunah said to the king, LORD thy God accept thee.

³ remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt-sacrifice (Selah),

²¹ who make a man an offender in his cause, and lay a snare for him who reproves in the gate, and turn aside the just with a thing of nothing.

¹⁰ Woe is me, my mother, that thou have bore me, a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have not lent, nor have men lent to me, yet every one of them curses me.

⁴⁰ For in my holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, says the lord LORD, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them, serve me in the land. There I will accept them, and there I will require your offerings, and the first-fruits of your oblations, with all your holy things. ⁴¹ I will accept you as a sweet savor when I bring you out from the peoples, and gather you out of the countries in which ye have been scattered. And I will be sanctified in you in the sight of the nations.

¹⁰ They hate him who reproves in the gate, and they abhor him who speaks uprightly.

⁸ And when ye offer the blind for sacrifice, ye say, It is no evil! and when ye offer the lame and sick, It is no evil! Present it now to thy governor. Will he be pleased with thee, or will he accept thy person? says LORD of hosts. ⁹ Ye say, And now, I pray you, entreat the favor of God, that he may be gracious to us; this has been by your means. Will he accept any of your persons? says LORD of hosts. ¹⁰ Oh that there was among you who would shut the doors, that ye might not kindle my altar in vain! I have no pleasure in you, says LORD of hosts, nor will I accept an offering at your hand.

¹⁴ And whoever will not receive you, nor hear your words, while departing that house or that city, shake off the dust of your feet. ¹⁵ Truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city.

¹⁰ But into whatever city ye enter, and they will not receive you, after departing into the thoroughfares of it, say, ¹¹ Even the dust that clings on us from your city, we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know ye this, that the kingdom of God has come near to you. ¹² I say to you, that it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.

¹⁶ He who hears you hears me, and he who rejects you rejects me, and he who rejects me rejects him who sent me.

⁸ Therefore he who disregards, disregards not man, but God, who also gave his Holy Spirit to you.

¹² And thou shall put the two stones upon the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the sons of Israel. And Aaron shall bear their names before LORD upon his two shoulders for a memorial.

¹⁰ But when ye go over the Jordan, and dwell in the land which LORD your God causes you to inherit, and he gives you rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety,

²⁷ The eternal God is thy dwelling-place, and underneath are the everlasting arms. And he thrust out the enemy from before thee, and said, Destroy. ²⁸ And Israel dwells in safety, the fountain of Jacob alone, in a land of grain and new wine. Yea, his heavens drop down dew. ²⁹ Happy are thou, O Israel. Who is like thee, a people saved by LORD, the shield of thy help, and the sword of thy excellency! And thine enemies shall submit themselves to thee, and thou shall tread upon their high places.

¹¹ And the lot of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin came up according to their families, and the border of their lot went out between the sons of Judah and the sons of Joseph. ¹² And their border on the north quarter was from the Jordan, and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up through the hill-country westward. And the goings out of it were at the wilderness of Beth-aven. ¹³ And the border passed along from there to Luz, to the side of Luz (the same is Bethel), southward, and the border went down to Ataroth-addar, by the mountain that lies on the south of Beth-horon the nether. ¹⁴ And the border extended, and turned around on the west quarter southward, from the mountain that lies before Beth-horon southward. And the goings out of it were at Kiriath-baal (the same is Kiriath-jearim), a city of the sons of Judah. This was the west quarter. ¹⁵ And the south quarter was from the uttermost part of Kiriath-jearim, and the border went out westward, and went out to the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah, ¹⁶ and the border went down to the uttermost part of the mountain that lies before the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is in the vale of Rephaim northward, and it went down to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite southward, and went down to En-rogel, ¹⁷ and it extended northward, and went out at En-shemesh, and went out to Geliloth, which is opposite the ascent of Adummim, and it went down to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben, ¹⁸ and it passed along to the side opposite the Arabah northward, and went down to the Arabah, ¹⁹ and the border passed along to the side of Beth-hoglah northward. And the goings out of the border were at the north bay of the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan. This was the south border. ²⁰ And the Jordan was the border of it on the east quarter. This was the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin, by the borders of it round about, according to their families. ²¹ Now the cities of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin according to their families were: Jericho, and Beth-hoglah, and Emek-keziz, ²² and Beth-arabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel, ²³ and Avvim, and Parah, and Ophrah, ²⁴ and Chephar-ammoni, and Ophni, and Geba; twelve cities with their villages. ²⁵ Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth, ²⁶ and Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah, ²⁷ and Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah, ²⁸ and Zelah, Eleph, and the Jebusite (the same is Jerusalem), Gibeath, and Kiriath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin according to their families.

²¹ And the sons of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem, but the Jebusites dwell with the sons of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.

²¹ And when Rehoboam came to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men, who were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.

¹ And when Rehoboam came to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men, who were warriors, to fight against Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam.

² And he went out to meet Asa, and said to him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin. LORD is with you while ye are with him. And if ye seek him, he will be found of you, but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.

⁴ He will cover thee with his pinions, and under his wings shall thou take refuge. His truth is a shield and a buckler.

¹⁴ This is my resting place forever. Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.

²² this is the word which LORD has spoken concerning him: The virgin daughter of Zion has despised thee and laughed thee to scorn. The daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at thee.

³⁵ For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake, and for my servant David's sake.

¹⁶ And I have put my words in thy mouth, and have covered thee in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say to Zion, Thou are my people.

³⁷ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets, and stones those who have been sent to her. How often I wanted to gathered thy children together the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and ye would not.

⁵ And now thy two sons, who were born to thee in the land of Egypt before I came to thee into Egypt, are mine, Ephraim and Manasseh, even as Reuben and Simeon, shall be mine.

⁹ And Joseph said to his father, They are my sons, whom God has given me here. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, to me, and I will bless them.

¹⁵ And he blessed Joseph, and said, The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the God who has fed me all my life long to this day, ¹⁶ the agent who has redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads, and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac, and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth. ¹⁷ And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him. And he held up his father's hand, to remove it from Ephraim's head to Manasseh's head. ¹⁸ And Joseph said to his father, Not so, my father, for this is the firstborn, put thy right hand upon his head. ¹⁹ And his father refused, and said, I know, my son, I know. He also shall become a people, and he also shall be great. However, his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations. ²⁰ And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee will Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh. And he set Ephraim before Manasseh.

²² Joseph is a fruitful bough, a fruitful bough by a fountain, his branches run over the wall. ²³ The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and persecute him, ²⁴ but his bow abode in strength. And the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob (From there is the shepherd, the stone of Israel), ²⁵ even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee, and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that couches beneath, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb. ²⁶ The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my forefathers to the utmost bound of the everlasting hills. They shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers.

² My doctrine shall drop as the rain. My speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender grass, and as the showers upon the herb.

¹⁹ My root is spread out to the waters, and the dew lays all night upon my branch.

³ Thy people offer themselves willingly in the day of thy power, in holy array. Out of the womb of the morning thou have the dew of thy youth.

²⁰ By his knowledge the depths were broken up, and the skies drop down the dew.

¹² The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion, but his favor is as dew upon the grass.

⁴ For thus LORD has said to me, I will be still, and I will behold in my dwelling-place, like clear heat in sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.

⁵ I will be as the dew to Israel. He shall blossom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.

⁷ And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many peoples as dew from LORD, as showers upon the grass, that tarry not for man, nor wait for the sons of men.

¹² For there shall be the seed of peace. The vine shall give its fruit, and the ground shall give its increase, and the heavens shall give their dew. And I will cause the remnant of this people to inherit all these things.

⁴ then I will give your rains in their season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

⁸ LORD will command the blessing upon thee in thy barns, and in all that thou put thy hand to. And he will bless thee in the land which LORD thy God gives thee.

⁴ he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun rises, a morning without clouds, when the tender grass springs out of the earth, through clear shining after rain.

³ When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou have ordained,

⁹ Thou visit the earth, and water it; thou greatly enrich it. The river of God is full of water. Thou provide them grain when thou have so prepared the earth. ¹⁰ Thou water its furrows abundantly. Thou settle the ridges of it. Thou make it soft with showers. Thou bless the springing of it. ¹¹ Thou crown the year with thy goodness, and thy paths drop fatness. ¹² They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness, and the hills are girded with joy. ¹³ The pastures are clothed with flocks. The valleys also are covered over with grain. They shout for joy; they also sing.

¹⁶ The day is thine; the night is also thine. Thou have prepared the light and the sun.

¹¹ For LORD God is a sun and a shield. LORD will give grace and glory. He will withhold no good thing from those who walk uprightly.

¹⁹ He appointed the moon for seasons. The sun knows his going down.

² But to you who fear my name the sun of righteousness shall arise with healing in its wings, and ye shall go forth, and frolic as calves of the stall.

⁴⁵ so that ye may become sons of your Father in the heavens, because he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and makes rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

¹⁷ although he did not leave himself without evidence, doing good and giving you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts of food and gladness.

¹⁷ Command the rich in the present age not to be arrogant, nor hope in the uncertainty of wealth, but in the living God, who supplies us all things abundantly for enjoyment,

² in the middle of its thoroughfare. And on this side of the river and on that was a tree of life, bearing twelve fruits, yielding its fruit according to each month. And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

²⁶ The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my forefathers to the utmost bound of the everlasting hills. They shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers.

⁶ He stood, and measured the earth. He beheld, and drove apart the nations. And the eternal mountains were scattered. The everlasting hills bowed. His goings were as of old.

⁷ Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient for it, until it receives the early and latter rain.

²⁸ And there passed by Midianites, merchantmen, and they drew and lifted Joseph up out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And they brought Joseph into Egypt.

³⁶ And the Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard.

² And LORD was with Joseph. And he was a man who succeeds. And he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. ³ And his master saw that LORD was with him, and that LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.

³² And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, who ate with him, by themselves, because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews, for that is an abomination to the Egyptians.

⁹ Hasten ye, and go up to my father, and say to him, Thus says thy son Joseph: God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me, delay not. ¹⁰ And thou shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shall be near to me, thou, and thy sons, and thy sons' sons, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou have. ¹¹ And there will I nourish thee, for there are yet five years of famine, lest thou come to poverty, thou, and thy household, and all that thou have.

² And the agent of LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. And he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. ³ And Moses said, I will turn aside now, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. ⁴ And when LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here I am.

¹ The earth is LORD's, and the fullness thereof, the world, and those who dwell therein.

¹² If I were hungry, I would not tell thee, for the world is mine, and the fullness thereof.

¹¹ The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine, the world and the fullness of it; thou have founded them.

¹⁶ The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan. At the sound of the neighing of his strong ones the whole land trembles. For they have come, and have devoured the land and all that is in it, the city and those who dwell therein.

²⁶ But about the dead, that they rise, have ye not read in the book of Moses, how God spoke to him at the bush, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?

¹⁴ Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill among men.

³⁰ And forty years having been fulfilled, an agent of the Lord appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai in a flame of fire of a bush. ³¹ And when Moses looked, he wondered at the sight. And as he approached to examine, a voice of the Lord came to him, ³² I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. But Moses, who developed trembling, dared not examine. ³³ And the Lord said to him, Put off the shoes from thy feet, for the place on which thou stand is holy ground.

³⁵ This Moses whom they refused, having said, Who appointed thee a ruler and a judge? This man God sent, a ruler and a liberator by the hand of the agent who appeared to him in the bush.

²⁶ for the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness of it.

²⁸ But if any man says to you, This is a sacrifice to an idol, do not eat for the sake of that man who informed, and the conscience, for the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness of it.

⁷ And so that I might not be over exalted by the extraordinariness of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, an agent of Satan so that he would buffet me, so that I would not be over exalted. ⁸ I besought the Lord thrice about this, that it might depart from me. ⁹ And he said to me, My grace is sufficient for thee, for my power is made fully perfect in weakness. More gladly therefore I will boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of the Christ may reside in me. ¹⁰ Therefore I am pleased in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in restrictions, for the sake of Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

¹⁹ And his father refused, and said, I know, my son, I know. He also shall become a people, and he also shall be great. However, his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.

²² God brings them forth out of Egypt. He has as it were the strength of the wild-ox.

⁸ God brings him forth out of Egypt. He has as it were the strength of the wild-ox. He shall eat up the nations his adversaries, and shall break their bones in pieces, and smite them through with his arrows.

³⁴ These are the families of Manasseh, and those who were numbered of them were fifty-two thousand and seven hundred.

³⁷ These are the families of the sons of Ephraim according to those who were numbered of them, thirty-two thousand and five hundred. These are the sons of Joseph after their families.

¹¹ And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made for him horns of iron, and said, Thus says LORD, With these thou shall push the Syrians until they be consumed.

¹ And the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel (for he was the firstborn, but, inasmuch as he defiled his father's couch, his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph the son of Israel, and so the genealogy is not to be reckoned after the birthright.

¹⁰ And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made for him horns of iron, and said, Thus says LORD, With these thou shall push the Syrians until they be consumed.

⁹ Will the wild-ox be content to serve thee? Or will he abide by thy crib? ¹⁰ Can thou bind the wild-ox with his band in the furrow? Or will he harrow the valleys after thee?

²¹ Save me from the lion's mouth, yea, from the horns of the wild-oxen. Thou have answered me.

⁶ He makes them also to skip like a calf, Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild-ox.

⁵ Through thee we will push down our adversaries. Through thy name we will tread them under who rise up against us.

¹⁰ But thou have exalted my horn like the wild ox's. I am anointed with fresh oil,

⁷ And the wild oxen shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls. And their land shall be drunken with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.

³ I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me. For now, O Ephraim, thou have played the harlot; Israel is defiled.

⁴ O Ephraim, what shall I do to thee? O Judah, what shall I do to thee? For your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that goes away early.

¹ When I would heal Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim is uncovered, and the wickedness of Samaria. For they commit falsehood, and the thief enters in, and the troop of robbers ravages outside.

¹³ Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea, and he shall be for a haven of ships. And his border shall be upon Sidon. ¹⁴ Issachar is a strong donkey, couching down between the sheepfolds. ¹⁵ And he saw a resting place that it was good, and the land that it was pleasant. And he bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant under task work.

¹¹ and their border went up westward, even to Maralah, and reached to Dabbesheth, and it reached to the brook that is before Jokneam,

¹⁴ Out of Ephraim, those whose root is in Amalek, after thee, Benjamin, among thy peoples, out of Machir, came down governors, and out of Zebulun those who handle the marshal's staff.

¹⁷ Thou will bring them in, and plant them on the mountain of thine inheritance, the place, O LORD, which thou have made for thee to dwell in, the sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.

¹³ He made him ride on the high places of the earth, and he ate the increase of the field, and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock,

⁵ Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in LORD.

¹³ Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? ¹⁴ Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and pay thy vows to the Most High. ¹⁵ And call upon me in the day of trouble. I will deliver thee, and thou shall glorify me.

¹⁶ For thou delight not in sacrifice, else I would give it. Thou have no pleasure in burnt offering. ¹⁷ The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. A broken and contrite heart, O God, thou will not despise.

²² And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with singing.

³ And many peoples shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob, and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths. For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of LORD from Jerusalem.

⁵ Then thou shall see and be radiant, and thy heart shall thrill and be enlarged, because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to thee. The wealth of the nations shall come to thee.

¹⁶ Thou shall also suck the milk of the nations, and shall suck the breast of kings. And thou shall know that I, LORD, am thy Savior, and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

¹¹ that ye may nurse and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations, that ye may get milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory. ¹² For thus says LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream. And ye shall nurse thereof. Ye shall be borne upon the side, and shall be dandled upon the knees.

⁴ In those days, and in that time, says LORD, the sons of Israel shall come, they and the sons of Judah together. They shall go on their way weeping, and shall seek LORD their God. ⁵ They shall inquire concerning Zion with their faces toward it, saying, Come ye, and join yourselves to LORD in an everlasting covenant that shall not be forgotten.

² And many nations shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of 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 out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of LORD from Jerusalem.

¹⁵ Through him therefore, let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, fruit of lips acknowledging his name. ¹⁶ But do not forget benevolence and fellowship, for God is well pleased with such sacrifices.

⁵ ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

²⁶ And he said, Blessed be LORD, the God of Shem. And let Canaan be his servant. ²⁷ God enlarge Japheth, and let him dwell in the tents of Shem. And let Canaan be his servant.

¹⁹ Gad, a troop shall press upon him, but he shall press upon their heel.

⁸ With him the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond the Jordan eastward, even as Moses the servant of LORD gave them:

¹⁰ and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, to the border of the sons of Ammon;

²⁴ And Moses gave to the tribe of Gad, to the sons of Gad, according to their families. ²⁵ And their border was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the sons of Ammon, to Aroer that is before Rabbah, ²⁶ and from Heshbon to Ramath-mizpeh, and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the border of Debir, ²⁷ and in the valley, Beth-haram, and Beth-nimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, the Jordan and the border of it, to the outermost part of the sea of Chinnereth beyond the Jordan eastward. ²⁸ This is the inheritance of the sons of Gad according to their families, the cities and the villages of it.

¹⁰ And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou would bless me indeed, and enlarge my border, and that thy hand might be with me, and that thou would keep me from evil, that it not be to my sorrow! And God granted him that which he requested.

¹⁸ The sons of Reuben, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, of valiant men, men able to bear buckler and sword, and to shoot with bow, and skilful in war, were forty-four thousand seven hundred and sixty, who were able to go forth to war. ¹⁹ And they made war with the Hagrites, with Jetur, and Naphish, and Nodab. ²⁰ And they were helped against them, and the Hagrites were delivered into their hand, and all that were with them, for they cried to God in the battle, and he was entreated by 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 donkeys two thousand, and of men a hundred thousand.

⁸ And of the Gadites there separated themselves to David to the stronghold in the wilderness, mighty men of valor, men trained for war, who could handle shield and spear, whose faces were like the faces of lions, and they were as swift as the roes upon the mountains: ⁹ Ezer the chief, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third, ¹⁰ Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth, ¹¹ Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh, ¹² Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth, ¹³ Jeremiah the tenth, Machbannai the eleventh. ¹⁴ These of the sons of Gad were captains of the army. He who was least was equal to a hundred, and the greatest to a thousand.

³⁷ And on the other side of the Jordan, of the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and of the half-tribe of Manasseh, with all manner of instruments of war for the battle, a hundred and twenty thousand. ³⁸ All these being men of war, who could order the battle array, came with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel. And all the rest also of Israel were of one heart to make David king.

¹⁹ He also brought me forth into a large place. He delivered me because he delighted in me.

³⁶ Thou have enlarged my steps under me, and my feet have not slipped.

⁸ And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep, who, if he goes through, treads down and tears in pieces, and there is none to deliver.

¹ Now the sons of Reuben and the sons 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 sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the rulers of the congregation, saying, ³ Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Beon, ⁴ the land which LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle. ⁵ And they said, If we have found favor in thy sight, let this land be given to thy servants for a possession. Bring us not over the Jordan. ⁶ And Moses said to the sons of Gad, and to the sons of Reuben, Shall your brothers go to the war, and shall ye sit here?

¹⁶ And they came near to him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones, ¹⁷ but we ourselves will be ready armed to go before the sons of Israel, until we have brought them to their place. And our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land. ¹⁸ We will not return to our houses until the sons of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance. ¹⁹ For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan, and forward, because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side of the Jordan eastward. ²⁰ And Moses said to them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will arm yourselves to go before LORD to the war, ²¹ and every armed man of you will pass over the Jordan before LORD, until he has driven out his enemies from before him, ²² and the land is subdued before LORD, then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless towards LORD, and towards Israel, and this land shall be to you for a possession before LORD. ²³ But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against LORD, and be sure your sin will find you out. ²⁴ Build for you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep, and do that which has proceeded out of your mouth. ²⁵ And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commands. ²⁶ Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead, ²⁷ but thy servants will pass over, every man who is armed for war, before LORD to battle, as my lord says. ²⁸ So Moses gave charge concerning them to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the sons of Israel. ²⁹ And Moses said to them, If the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben will pass with you over the Jordan, every man that is armed to battle, before LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you, then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession, ³⁰ but if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan. ³¹ And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben answered, saying, As LORD has said to thy servants, so we will do. ³² We will pass over armed before LORD into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance is with us beyond the Jordan. ³³ And Moses gave to them, even to the sons of Gad, and to the sons of Reuben, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, according to the cities of it with their borders, even the cities of the land round about. ³⁴ And the sons of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer, ³⁵ and Atrothshophan, and Jazer, and Jogbehah, ³⁶ and Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran: fortified cities, and folds for sheep. ³⁷ And the sons of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiriathaim, ³⁸ and Nebo, and Baal-meon, (their names being changed,) and Sibmah. And they gave other names to the cities which they built. ³⁹ And the sons of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorites that were in it. ⁴⁰ And Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh, and he dwelt in it. ⁴¹ And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the towns of it, and called them Havvoth-jair. ⁴² And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages of it, and called it Nobah, after his own name.

¹⁴ Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall abide in the land which Moses gave you beyond the Jordan, but ye shall pass over before your brothers armed, all the mighty men of valor, and shall help them

¹² And the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the sons of Israel, as Moses spoke to them. ¹³ About forty thousand ready armed for war passed over before LORD to battle, to the plains of Jericho.

¹ Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, ² and said to them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of LORD commanded you, and have hearkened to my voice in all that I commanded you. ³ Ye have not left your brothers these many days to this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of LORD your God. ⁴ And now LORD your God has given rest to your brothers, as he spoke to them. Therefore now turn ye, and get you to your tents, to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of LORD gave you beyond the Jordan.

² That the leaders took the lead in Israel, that the people offered themselves willingly, bless ye LORD.

¹¹ Far from the noise of archers, in the places of drawing water, there they shall rehearse the righteous acts of LORD, the righteous acts of his rule in Israel. Then the people of LORD went down to the gates.

¹⁶ Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel. ¹⁷ Dan shall be a serpent in the way, an adder in the path, that bites the horse's heels, so that his rider falls backward.

⁴⁷ And the border of the sons of Dan went out beyond them, for the sons of Dan went up and fought against Leshem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and possessed it, and dwelt in it, and called Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their father.

² And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah, and his wife was barren, and did not bear.

²⁴ And the woman bore a son, and called his name Samson. And the child grew, and LORD blessed him. ²⁵ And the Spirit of LORD began to move him in Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.

⁶ And the Spirit of LORD came mightily upon him, and he tore him apart as he would have torn a kid, and he had nothing in his hand. But he did not tell his father or his mother what he had done.

¹⁹ And the Spirit of LORD came mightily upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and smote thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave the changes of raiment to those who declared the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house.

⁸ And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter. And he went down and dwelt in the cleft of the rock of Etam.

¹⁵ And he found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, and put forth his hand, and took it, and smote a thousand men with it.

³⁰ And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might, and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were in it. So the dead that he killed at his death were more than those that he killed in his life.

²⁷ And they took that which Micah had made, and the priest whom he had, and came to Laish, to a people quiet and secure, and smote them with the edge of the sword, and they burnt the city with fire.

³⁵ And of the Danites who could set the battle in array, twenty-eight thousand and six hundred.

²¹ Naphtali is a hind let loose. He gives goodly words.

³² The sixth lot came out for the sons of Naphtali, even for the sons of Naphtali according to their families. ³³ And their border was from Heleph, from the oak in Zaanannim, and Adam-inekeb, and Jabneel, to Lakkum. And the goings out of it were at the Jordan. ³⁴ And the border turned westward to Aznoth-tabor, and went out from there to Hukkok, and it reached to Zebulun on the south, and reached to Asher on the west, and to Judah at the Jordan toward the sunrising. ³⁵ And the fortified cities were Ziddim, Zer, and Hammath, Rakkath, and Chinnereth, ³⁶ and Adamah, and Ramah, and Hazor, ³⁷ and Kedesh, and Edrei, and En-hazor, ³⁸ and Iron, and Migdal-el, Horem, and Beth-anath, and Beth-shemesh; nineteen cities with their villages. ³⁹ This is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali according to their families, the cities with their villages.

⁸ They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house, and thou will make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.

¹⁴ O satisfy us in the morning with thy loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

¹ But there shall be no gloom to her who was in anguish. In the former time he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the latter time he has made it glorious, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles. ² The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them the light has shone.

¹⁴ And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, says LORD.

¹³ And having left Nazareth behind, after coming, he dwelt in Capernaum by the sea in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali,

¹⁶ the people who dwell in darkness saw a great light, and to those who dwell in the region and shadow of death, light sprang up to them.

²⁸ Come to me, all ye who labor and have been burdened, and I will give you rest.

²⁰ Out of the Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties.

¹⁰ And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning, but that which remains of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.

⁶ when my steps were washed with butter, and the rock poured out streams of oil to me,

¹⁵ Blessed are ye of LORD who made heaven and earth.

³ Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of thy house, thy sons like olive plants round about thy table.

⁶ Yea, see thou thy son's sons. Peace be upon Israel.

³ Let not kindness and truth forsake thee. Bind them about thy neck, write them upon the tablet of thy heart, ⁴ so thou shall find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

¹⁰ and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And he appointed him governor over Egypt and his entire house.

¹⁸ For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God, and approved by men.

³¹ So that I may be rescued from those who are disobedient in Judea, and that my service for Jerusalem may become acceptable to the sanctified,

⁴⁰ And thou shall keep his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy sons after thee, and that thou may prolong thy days in the land, which LORD thy God gives thee, forever.

⁹ a land in which thou shall eat bread without scarceness. Thou shall not lack anything in it, a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou may dig copper.

⁴⁷ For it is no vain thing for you, because it is your life, and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land where ye go over the Jordan to possess it.

⁹ For the eyes of LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is perfect toward him. In this thou have done foolishly, for from henceforth thou shall have wars.

³ Thou answered me in the day that I called. Thou encouraged me with strength in my soul.

²⁹ He gives power to the faint. And to him who has no might he increases strength.

¹⁰ Fear thou not, for I am with thee. Be not dismayed, for I am thy God. I will strengthen thee. Yea, I will help thee. Yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

²² But the father said to his bondmen, Bring forth the best robe and clothe him, and give a ring for his hand, and shoes for his feet.

¹³ No temptation has taken you except is common to man. But God is faithful who will not allow you to be tempted above what ye are able, but with the temptation will also make the way to escape, to enable you to endure.

¹⁰ Finally my brothers, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might.

¹⁵ and having shod your feet in preparation of the good news of peace.

¹³ I can do all things in the Christ who strengthens me.

¹¹ being strengthened in every ability, according to the dominion of his glory, for all perseverance and longsuffering with joy.

¹¹ Who is like thee, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?

¹⁰ And he rode upon a cherub, and flew. Yea, he soared upon the wings of the wind.

⁴ Sing to God, sing praises to his name. Cast up a highway for him who rides through the deserts. His name is LORD, and exult ye before him.

³³ to him who rides upon the heaven of heavens, which are of old. Lo, he utters his voice, a mighty voice. ³⁴ Ascribe ye strength to God. His excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the skies.

⁸ There is none like thee among the gods, O Lord, nor like thy works.

³ who lays the beams of his chambers in the waters, who makes the clouds his chariot, who walks upon the wings of the wind,

¹ The burden of Egypt. Behold, LORD rides upon a swift cloud, and comes to Egypt. And the idols of Egypt shall tremble at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.

¹⁸ To whom then will ye liken God? Or what likeness will ye compare to him?

²⁵ To whom then will ye liken me, that I should be equal to him? says the Holy One.

¹¹ I, even I, am LORD, and besides me there is no savior. ¹² I have declared, and I have saved, and I have shown, and there was no strange god among you. Therefore ye are my witnesses, says LORD, and I am God. ¹³ Yea, since the day was I am he, and there is none that can deliver out of my hand. I will work, and who can hinder it?

⁸ Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? Shall a nation be brought forth at once? For as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her sons.

⁶ There is none like thee, O LORD. Thou are great, and thy name is great in might.

⁸ Was LORD displeased with the rivers? Was thine anger against the rivers, or thy wrath against the sea, that thou rode upon thy horses, upon thy chariots of salvation?

²⁴ but his bow abode in strength. And the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob (From there is the shepherd, the stone of Israel),

² and when LORD thy God shall deliver them up before thee, and thou shall smite them, then thou shall utterly destroy them. Thou shall make no covenant with them, nor show mercy to them.

³ Know therefore this day, that LORD thy God is he who goes over before thee as a devouring fire. He will destroy them, and he will bring them down before thee. So thou shall drive them out, and make them to perish quickly, as LORD has spoken to thee. ⁴ Do not speak thou in thy heart, after LORD thy God has thrust them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness LORD has brought me in to possess this land. Whereas for the wickedness of these nations LORD drives them out from before thee. ⁵ Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thy heart, do thou go in to possess their land, but for the wickedness of these nations LORD thy God drives them out from before thee, and that he may establish the word which LORD swore to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

¹⁸ And LORD drove out from before us all the peoples, even the Amorites who dwelt in the land. Therefore we also will serve LORD, for he is our God.

²⁹ And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent, for he is not a man that he should repent.

² LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I will take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.

⁵ For in the day of trouble he will hide me in his pavilion. In the covert of his tabernacle he will hide me. He will lift me up upon a rock.

⁷ How precious is thy loving kindness, O God, and the sons of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings.

¹ God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

⁷ LORD of hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

¹¹ LORD of hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

³ God has made himself known in her palaces for a refuge.

¹ Lord, thou have been our dwelling-place in all generations. ² Before the mountains were brought forth, or thou had ever formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou are God.

¹ He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. ² I will say of LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.

⁹ For thou, O LORD, are my refuge! Thou have made the Most High thy habitation.

¹⁵ He shall call upon me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.

²⁴ I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days. Thy years are throughout all generations.

²⁵ When the whirlwind passes, the wicked man is no more, but the righteous man is an everlasting foundation.

¹⁰ The name of LORD is a strong tower. A righteous man runs into it, and is safe.

⁶ His left hand is under my head, and his right hand embraces me.

⁶ For to us a child is born, to us a son is given. And the government shall be upon his shoulder. And his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace.
