Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:45 - “Before I finished praying in my heart, Rebekah came out, with her jar on her shoulder. She went down to the spring and drew water, and I said to her, ‘Please give me a drink.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:46 - “She quickly lowered her jar from her shoulder and said, ‘Drink, and I'll water your camels too.' So I drank, and she watered the camels also.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:48 - and I bowed down and worshiped the LORD. I praised the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me on the right road to get the granddaughter of my master's brother for his son.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:52 - When Abraham's servant heard what they said, he bowed down to the ground before the LORD.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:56 - But he said to them, “Do not detain me, now that the LORD has granted success to my journey. Send me on my way so I may go to my master.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:57 - Then they said, “Let's call the young woman and ask her about it.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:59 - So they sent their sister Rebekah on her way, along with her nurse and Abraham's servant and his men.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:60 - And they blessed Rebekah and said to her, “Our sister, may you increase to thousands upon thousands; may your offspring possess the cities of their enemies.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:61 - Then Rebekah and her attendants got ready and mounted the camels and went back with the man. So the servant took Rebekah and left.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:67 - Isaac brought her into the tent of his mother Sarah, and he married Rebekah. So she became his wife, and he loved her; and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:10 - the field Abraham had bought from the Hittites.[fn] There Abraham was buried with his wife Sarah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:20 - and Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebekah daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan Aram[fn] and sister of Laban the Aramean.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:3 - Stay in this land for a while, and I will be with you and will bless you. For to you and your descendants I will give all these lands and will confirm the oath I swore to your father Abraham.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:4 - I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and will give them all these lands, and through your offspring[fn] all nations on earth will be blessed,[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:25 - Isaac built an altar there and called on the name of the LORD. There he pitched his tent, and there his servants dug a well.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:34 - When Esau was forty years old, he married Judith daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and also Basemath daughter of Elon the Hittite.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:2 - Isaac said, “I am now an old man and don't know the day of my death.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:11 - Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “But my brother Esau is a hairy man while I have smooth skin.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:15 - Then Rebekah took the best clothes of Esau her older son, which she had in the house, and put them on her younger son Jacob.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:27 - So he went to him and kissed him. When Isaac caught the smell of his clothes, he blessed him and said, “Ah, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field that the LORD has blessed.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:35 - But he said, “Your brother came deceitfully and took your blessing.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:36 - Esau said, “Isn't he rightly named Jacob[fn]? This is the second time he has taken advantage of me: He took my birthright, and now he's taken my blessing!” Then he asked, “Haven't you reserved any blessing for me?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:43 - Now then, my son, do what I say: Flee at once to my brother Laban in Harran.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:45 - When your brother is no longer angry with you and forgets what you did to him, I'll send word for you to come back from there. Why should I lose both of you in one day?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:2 - Go at once to Paddan Aram,[fn] to the house of your mother's father Bethuel. Take a wife for yourself there, from among the daughters of Laban, your mother's brother.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:4 - May he give you and your descendants the blessing given to Abraham, so that you may take possession of the land where you now reside as a foreigner, the land God gave to Abraham.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:5 - Then Isaac sent Jacob on his way, and he went to Paddan Aram, to Laban son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, who was the mother of Jacob and Esau.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:6 - Now Esau learned that Isaac had blessed Jacob and had sent him to Paddan Aram to take a wife from there, and that when he blessed him he commanded him, “Do not marry a Canaanite woman,”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:7 - and that Jacob had obeyed his father and mother and had gone to Paddan Aram.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:9 - so he went to Ishmael and married Mahalath, the sister of Nebaioth and daughter of Ishmael son of Abraham, in addition to the wives he already had.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:15 - I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:10 - When Jacob saw Rachel daughter of his uncle Laban, and Laban's sheep, he went over and rolled the stone away from the mouth of the well and watered his uncle's sheep.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:11 - Then Jacob kissed Rachel and began to weep aloud.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:18 - Jacob was in love with Rachel and said, “I'll work for you seven years in return for your younger daughter Rachel.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:21 - Then Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife. My time is completed, and I want to make love to her.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:23 - But when evening came, he took his daughter Leah and brought her to Jacob, and Jacob made love to her.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:24 - And Laban gave his servant Zilpah to his daughter as her attendant.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:26 - Laban replied, “It is not our custom here to give the younger daughter in marriage before the older one.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:28 - And Jacob did so. He finished the week with Leah, and then Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to be his wife.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:29 - Laban gave his servant Bilhah to his daughter Rachel as her attendant.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:31 - When the LORD saw that Leah was not loved, he enabled her to conceive, but Rachel remained childless.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:32 - Leah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Reuben,[fn] for she said, “It is because the LORD has seen my misery. Surely my husband will love me now.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:1 - When Rachel saw that she was not bearing Jacob any children, she became jealous of her sister. So she said to Jacob, “Give me children, or I'll die!”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:4 - So she gave him her servant Bilhah as a wife. Jacob slept with her,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:9 - When Leah saw that she had stopped having children, she took her servant Zilpah and gave her to Jacob as a wife.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:14 - During wheat harvest, Reuben went out into the fields and found some mandrake plants, which he brought to his mother Leah. Rachel said to Leah, “Please give me some of your son's mandrakes.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:15 - But she said to her, “Wasn't it enough that you took away my husband? Will you take my son's mandrakes too?” “Very well,” Rachel said, “he can sleep with you tonight in return for your son's mandrakes.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:16 - So when Jacob came in from the fields that evening, Leah went out to meet him. “You must sleep with me,” she said. “I have hired you with my son's mandrakes.” So he slept with her that night.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:18 - Then Leah said, “God has rewarded me for giving my servant to my husband.” So she named him Issachar.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:22 - Then God remembered Rachel; he listened to her and enabled her to conceive.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:25 - After Rachel gave birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me on my way so I can go back to my own homeland.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:26 - Give me my wives and children, for whom I have served you, and I will be on my way. You know how much work I've done for you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:1 - Jacob heard that Laban's sons were saying, “Jacob has taken everything our father owned and has gained all this wealth from what belonged to our father.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:3 - Then the LORD said to Jacob, “Go back to the land of your fathers and to your relatives, and I will be with you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:13 - I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a pillar and where you made a vow to me. Now leave this land at once and go back to your native land.' ”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:16 - Surely all the wealth that God took away from our father belongs to us and our children. So do whatever God has told you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:18 - and he drove all his livestock ahead of him, along with all the goods he had accumulated in Paddan Aram,[fn] to go to his father Isaac in the land of Canaan.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:24 - Then God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream at night and said to him, “Be careful not to say anything to Jacob, either good or bad.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:25 - Jacob had pitched his tent in the hill country of Gilead when Laban overtook him, and Laban and his relatives camped there too.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:42 - If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had not been with me, you would surely have sent me away empty-handed. But God has seen my hardship and the toil of my hands, and last night he rebuked you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:52 - This heap is a witness, and this pillar is a witness, that I will not go past this heap to your side to harm you and that you will not go past this heap and pillar to my side to harm me.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:1 - Jacob also went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:9 - Then Jacob prayed, “O God of my father Abraham, God of my father Isaac, LORD, you who said to me, ‘Go back to your country and your relatives, and I will make you prosper,'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:12 - But you have said, ‘I will surely make you prosper and will make your descendants like the sand of the sea, which cannot be counted.' ”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:13 - He spent the night there, and from what he had with him he selected a gift for his brother Esau:
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:21 - So Jacob's gifts went on ahead of him, but he himself spent the night in the camp.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:22 - That night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two female servants and his eleven sons and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:3 - He himself went on ahead and bowed down to the ground seven times as he approached his brother.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:16 - So that day Esau started on his way back to Seir.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:19 - For a hundred pieces of silver,[fn] he bought from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem, the plot of ground where he pitched his tent.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:3 - His heart was drawn to Dinah daughter of Jacob; he loved the young woman and spoke tenderly to her.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:4 - And Shechem said to his father Hamor, “Get me this girl as my wife.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:5 - When Jacob heard that his daughter Dinah had been defiled, his sons were in the fields with his livestock; so he did nothing about it until they came home.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:8 - But Hamor said to them, “My son Shechem has his heart set on your daughter. Please give her to him as his wife.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:12 - Make the price for the bride and the gift I am to bring as great as you like, and I'll pay whatever you ask me. Only give me the young woman as my wife.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:13 - Because their sister Dinah had been defiled, Jacob's sons replied deceitfully as they spoke to Shechem and his father Hamor.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:14 - They said to them, “We can't do such a thing; we can't give our sister to a man who is not circumcised. That would be a disgrace to us.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:20 - So Hamor and his son Shechem went to the gate of their city to speak to the men of their city.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:24 - All the men who went out of the city gate agreed with Hamor and his son Shechem, and every male in the city was circumcised.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:25 - Three days later, while all of them were still in pain, two of Jacob's sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, took their swords and attacked the unsuspecting city, killing every male.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:26 - They put Hamor and his son Shechem to the sword and took Dinah from Shechem's house and left.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:27 - The sons of Jacob came upon the dead bodies and looted the city where[fn] their sister had been defiled.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:29 - They carried off all their wealth and all their women and children, taking as plunder everything in the houses.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:30 - Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have brought trouble on me by making me obnoxious to the Canaanites and Perizzites, the people living in this land. We are few in number, and if they join forces against me and attack me, I and my household will be destroyed.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:4 - So they gave Jacob all the foreign gods they had and the rings in their ears, and Jacob buried them under the oak at Shechem.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:8 - Now Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died and was buried under the oak outside Bethel. So it was named Allon Bakuth.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:12 - The land I gave to Abraham and Isaac I also give to you, and I will give this land to your descendants after you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:16 - Then they moved on from Bethel. While they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth and had great difficulty.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:18 - As she breathed her last—for she was dying—she named her son Ben-Oni.[fn] But his father named him Benjamin.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:2 - Esau took his wives from the women of Canaan: Adah daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite—
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:3 - also Basemath daughter of Ishmael and sister of Nebaioth.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:20 - These were the sons of Seir the Horite, who were living in the region: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:10 - When he told his father as well as his brothers, his father rebuked him and said, “What is this dream you had? Will your mother and I and your brothers actually come and bow down to the ground before you?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:34 - Then Jacob tore his clothes, put on sackcloth and mourned for his son many days.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:8 - Then Judah said to Onan, “Sleep with your brother's wife and fulfill your duty to her as a brother-in-law to raise up offspring for your brother.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:9 - But Onan knew that the child would not be his; so whenever he slept with his brother's wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from providing offspring for his brother.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:16 - Not realizing that she was his daughter-in-law, he went over to her by the roadside and said, “Come now, let me sleep with you.” “And what will you give me to sleep with you?” she asked.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:18 - He said, “What pledge should I give you?” “Your seal and its cord, and the staff in your hand,” she answered. So he gave them to her and slept with her, and she became pregnant by him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:28 - As she was giving birth, one of them put out his hand; so the midwife took a scarlet thread and tied it on his wrist and said, “This one came out first.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:29 - But when he drew back his hand, his brother came out, and she said, “So this is how you have broken out!” And he was named Perez.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:11 - One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:15 - When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:18 - But as soon as I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:11 - Pharaoh's cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes, squeezed them into Pharaoh's cup and put the cup in his hand.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:13 - Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your position, and you will put Pharaoh's cup in his hand, just as you used to do when you were his cupbearer.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:19 - Within three days Pharaoh will lift off your head and impale your body on a pole. And the birds will eat away your flesh.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:21 - He restored the chief cupbearer to his position, so that he once again put the cup into Pharaoh's hand—
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:9 - Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, “Today I am reminded of my shortcomings.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:13 - And things turned out exactly as he interpreted them to us: I was restored to my position, and the other man was impaled.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:14 - So Pharaoh sent for Joseph, and he was quickly brought from the dungeon. When he had shaved and changed his clothes, he came before Pharaoh.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:21 - But even after they ate them, no one could tell that they had done so; they looked just as ugly as before. Then I woke up.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:30 - but seven years of famine will follow them. Then all the abundance in Egypt will be forgotten, and the famine will ravage the land.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:42 - Then Pharaoh took his signet ring from his finger and put it on Joseph's finger. He dressed him in robes of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:44 - Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, but without your word no one will lift hand or foot in all Egypt.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:45 - Pharaoh gave Joseph the name Zaphenath-Paneah and gave him Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On,[fn] to be his wife. And Joseph went throughout the land of Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:49 - Joseph stored up huge quantities of grain, like the sand of the sea; it was so much that he stopped keeping records because it was beyond measure.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:6 - Now Joseph was the governor of the land, the person who sold grain to all its people. So when Joseph's brothers arrived, they bowed down to him with their faces to the ground.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:15 - And this is how you will be tested: As surely as Pharaoh lives, you will not leave this place unless your youngest brother comes here.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:16 - Send one of your number to get your brother; the rest of you will be kept in prison, so that your words may be tested to see if you are telling the truth. If you are not, then as surely as Pharaoh lives, you are spies!”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:21 - They said to one another, “Surely we are being punished because of our brother. We saw how distressed he was when he pleaded with us for his life, but we would not listen; that's why this distress has come on us.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:25 - Joseph gave orders to fill their bags with grain, to put each man's silver back in his sack, and to give them provisions for their journey. After this was done for them,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:30 - “The man who is lord over the land spoke harshly to us and treated us as though we were spying on the land.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:37 - Then Reuben said to his father, “You may put both of my sons to death if I do not bring him back to you. Entrust him to my care, and I will bring him back.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:7 - They replied, “The man questioned us closely about ourselves and our family. ‘Is your father still living?' he asked us. ‘Do you have another brother?' We simply answered his questions. How were we to know he would say, ‘Bring your brother down here'?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:16 - When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the steward of his house, “Take these men to my house, slaughter an animal and prepare a meal; they are to eat with me at noon.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:18 - Now the men were frightened when they were taken to his house. They thought, “We were brought here because of the silver that was put back into our sacks the first time. He wants to attack us and overpower us and seize us as slaves and take our donkeys.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:20 - “We beg your pardon, our lord,” they said, “we came down here the first time to buy food.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:26 - When Joseph came home, they presented to him the gifts they had brought into the house, and they bowed down before him to the ground.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:33 - The men had been seated before him in the order of their ages, from the firstborn to the youngest; and they looked at each other in astonishment.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:2 - Then put my cup, the silver one, in the mouth of the youngest one's sack, along with the silver for his grain.” And he did as Joseph said.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:4 - They had not gone far from the city when Joseph said to his steward, “Go after those men at once, and when you catch up with them, say to them, ‘Why have you repaid good with evil?
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:11 - Each of them quickly lowered his sack to the ground and opened it.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:13 - At this, they tore their clothes. Then they all loaded their donkeys and returned to the city.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:14 - Joseph was still in the house when Judah and his brothers came in, and they threw themselves to the ground before him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:16 - “What can we say to my lord?” Judah replied. “What can we say? How can we prove our innocence? God has uncovered your servants' guilt. We are now my lord's slaves—we ourselves and the one who was found to have the cup.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:13 - Tell my father about all the honor accorded me in Egypt and about everything you have seen. And bring my father down here quickly.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:21 - So the sons of Israel did this. Joseph gave them carts, as Pharaoh had commanded, and he also gave them provisions for their journey.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:5 - Then Jacob left Beersheba, and Israel's sons took their father Jacob and their children and their wives in the carts that Pharaoh had sent to transport him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:6 - So Jacob and all his offspring went to Egypt, taking with them their livestock and the possessions they had acquired in Canaan.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:15 - These were the sons Leah bore to Jacob in Paddan Aram,[fn] besides his daughter Dinah. These sons and daughters of his were thirty-three in all.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:19 - Why should we perish before your eyes—we and our land as well? Buy us and our land in exchange for food, and we with our land will be in bondage to Pharaoh. Give us seed so that we may live and not die, and that the land may not become desolate.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:20 - So Joseph bought all the land in Egypt for Pharaoh. The Egyptians, one and all, sold their fields, because the famine was too severe for them. The land became Pharaoh's,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:22 - However, he did not buy the land of the priests, because they received a regular allotment from Pharaoh and had food enough from the allotment Pharaoh gave them. That is why they did not sell their land.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:23 - Joseph said to the people, “Now that I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh, here is seed for you so you can plant the ground.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:29 - When the time drew near for Israel to die, he called for his son Joseph and said to him, “If I have found favor in your eyes, put your hand under my thigh and promise that you will show me kindness and faithfulness. Do not bury me in Egypt,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:2 - When Jacob was told, “Your son Joseph has come to you,” Israel rallied his strength and sat up on the bed.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:4 - and said to me, ‘I am going to make you fruitful and increase your numbers. I will make you a community of peoples, and I will give this land as an everlasting possession to your descendants after you.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:14 - But Israel reached out his right hand and put it on Ephraim's head, though he was the younger, and crossing his arms, he put his left hand on Manasseh's head, even though Manasseh was the firstborn.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:17 - When Joseph saw his father placing his right hand on Ephraim's head he was displeased; so he took hold of his father's hand to move it from Ephraim's head to Manasseh's head.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:18 - Joseph said to him, “No, my father, this one is the firstborn; put your right hand on his head.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:21 - Then Israel said to Joseph, “I am about to die, but God will be with you[fn] and take you[fn] back to the land of your[fn] fathers.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 49:4 - Turbulent as the waters, you will no longer excel, for you went up onto your father's bed, onto my couch and defiled it.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 49:11 - He will tether his donkey to a vine, his colt to the choicest branch; he will wash his garments in wine, his robes in the blood of grapes.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 49:15 - When he sees how good is his resting place and how pleasant is his land, he will bend his shoulder to the burden and submit to forced labor.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 49:18 - “I look for your deliverance, LORD.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 49:28 - All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father said to them when he blessed them, giving each the blessing appropriate to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 49:31 - There Abraham and his wife Sarah were buried, there Isaac and his wife Rebekah were buried, and there I buried Leah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 49:33 - When Jacob had finished giving instructions to his sons, he drew his feet up into the bed, breathed his last and was gathered to his people.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 50:8 - besides all the members of Joseph's household and his brothers and those belonging to his father's household. Only their children and their flocks and herds were left in Goshen.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 50:17 - ‘This is what you are to say to Joseph: I ask you to forgive your brothers the sins and the wrongs they committed in treating you so badly.' Now please forgive the sins of the servants of the God of your father.” When their message came to him, Joseph wept.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 50:21 - So then, don't be afraid. I will provide for you and your children.” And he reassured them and spoke kindly to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 50:24 - Then Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die. But God will surely come to your aid and take you up out of this land to the land he promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:14 - They made their lives bitter with harsh labor in brick and mortar and with all kinds of work in the fields; in all their harsh labor the Egyptians worked them ruthlessly.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:5 - Then Pharaoh's daughter went down to the Nile to bathe, and her attendants were walking along the riverbank. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her female slave to get it.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:8 - “Yes, go,” she answered. So the girl went and got the baby's mother.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:10 - When the child grew older, she took him to Pharaoh's daughter and he became her son. She named him Moses,[fn] saying, “I drew him out of the water.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:21 - Moses agreed to stay with the man, who gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses in marriage.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 3:1 - Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 3:7 - The LORD said, “I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 3:16 - “Go, assemble the elders of Israel and say to them, ‘The LORD, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob—appeared to me and said: I have watched over you and have seen what has been done to you in Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 3:17 - And I have promised to bring you up out of your misery in Egypt into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—a land flowing with milk and honey.'
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 3:18 - “The elders of Israel will listen to you. Then you and the elders are to go to the king of Egypt and say to him, ‘The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Let us take a three-day journey into the wilderness to offer sacrifices to the LORD our God.'

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 13:16 - These are the names of the men Moses sent to explore the land. (Moses gave Hoshea son of Nun the name Joshua.)
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 13:17 - When Moses sent them to explore Canaan, he said, “Go up through the Negev and on into the hill country.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 13:18 - See what the land is like and whether the people who live there are strong or weak, few or many.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 13:21 - So they went up and explored the land from the Desert of Zin as far as Rehob, toward Lebo Hamath.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 13:22 - They went up through the Negev and came to Hebron, where Ahiman, Sheshai and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, lived. (Hebron had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 13:25 - At the end of forty days they returned from exploring the land.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 13:26 - They came back to Moses and Aaron and the whole Israelite community at Kadesh in the Desert of Paran. There they reported to them and to the whole assembly and showed them the fruit of the land.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 13:27 - They gave Moses this account: “We went into the land to which you sent us, and it does flow with milk and honey! Here is its fruit.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 13:28 - But the people who live there are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large. We even saw descendants of Anak there.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 13:32 - And they spread among the Israelites a bad report about the land they had explored. They said, “The land we explored devours those living in it. All the people we saw there are of great size.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 14:1 - That night all the members of the community raised their voices and wept aloud.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 14:3 - Why is the LORD bringing us to this land only to let us fall by the sword? Our wives and children will be taken as plunder. Wouldn't it be better for us to go back to Egypt?”
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 14:6 - Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had explored the land, tore their clothes
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 14:8 - If the LORD is pleased with us, he will lead us into that land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and will give it to us.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 14:14 - And they will tell the inhabitants of this land about it. They have already heard that you, LORD, are with these people and that you, LORD, have been seen face to face, that your cloud stays over them, and that you go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 14:16 - ‘The LORD was not able to bring these people into the land he promised them on oath, so he slaughtered them in the wilderness.'
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 14:19 - In accordance with your great love, forgive the sin of these people, just as you have pardoned them from the time they left Egypt until now.”
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 14:21 - Nevertheless, as surely as I live and as surely as the glory of the LORD fills the whole earth,
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 14:22 - not one of those who saw my glory and the signs I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness but who disobeyed me and tested me ten times—
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 14:23 - not one of them will ever see the land I promised on oath to their ancestors. No one who has treated me with contempt will ever see it.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 14:24 - But because my servant Caleb has a different spirit and follows me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he went to, and his descendants will inherit it.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 14:25 - Since the Amalekites and the Canaanites are living in the valleys, turn back tomorrow and set out toward the desert along the route to the Red Sea.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 14:27 - “How long will this wicked community grumble against me? I have heard the complaints of these grumbling Israelites.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 14:30 - Not one of you will enter the land I swore with uplifted hand to make your home, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 14:31 - As for your children that you said would be taken as plunder, I will bring them in to enjoy the land you have rejected.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 14:33 - Your children will be shepherds here for forty years, suffering for your unfaithfulness, until the last of your bodies lies in the wilderness.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 14:34 - For forty years—one year for each of the forty days you explored the land—you will suffer for your sins and know what it is like to have me against you.'
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 14:36 - So the men Moses had sent to explore the land, who returned and made the whole community grumble against him by spreading a bad report about it—
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 14:38 - Of the men who went to explore the land, only Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh survived.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 14:40 - Early the next morning they set out for the highest point in the hill country, saying, “Now we are ready to go up to the land the LORD promised. Surely we have sinned!”
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 14:44 - Nevertheless, in their presumption they went up toward the highest point in the hill country, though neither Moses nor the ark of the LORD's covenant moved from the camp.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 14:45 - Then the Amalekites and the Canaanites who lived in that hill country came down and attacked them and beat them down all the way to Hormah.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 15:2 - “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘After you enter the land I am giving you as a home
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 15:18 - “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you enter the land to which I am taking you
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 15:24 - and if this is done unintentionally without the community being aware of it, then the whole community is to offer a young bull for a burnt offering as an aroma pleasing to the LORD, along with its prescribed grain offering and drink offering, and a male goat for a sin offering.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 16:3 - They came as a group to oppose Moses and Aaron and said to them, “You have gone too far! The whole community is holy, every one of them, and the LORD is with them. Why then do you set yourselves above the LORD's assembly?”
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 16:5 - Then he said to Korah and all his followers: “In the morning the LORD will show who belongs to him and who is holy, and he will have that person come near him. The man he chooses he will cause to come near him.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 16:15 - Then Moses became very angry and said to the LORD, “Do not accept their offering. I have not taken so much as a donkey from them, nor have I wronged any of them.”
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 16:16 - Moses said to Korah, “You and all your followers are to appear before the LORD tomorrow—you and they and Aaron.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 16:19 - When Korah had gathered all his followers in opposition to them at the entrance to the tent of meeting, the glory of the LORD appeared to the entire assembly.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 16:22 - But Moses and Aaron fell facedown and cried out, “O God, the God who gives breath to all living things, will you be angry with the entire assembly when only one man sins?”
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 16:26 - He warned the assembly, “Move back from the tents of these wicked men! Do not touch anything belonging to them, or you will be swept away because of all their sins.”
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 16:42 - But when the assembly gathered in opposition to Moses and Aaron and turned toward the tent of meeting, suddenly the cloud covered it and the glory of the LORD appeared.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 16:46 - Then Moses said to Aaron, “Take your censer and put incense in it, along with burning coals from the altar, and hurry to the assembly to make atonement for them. Wrath has come out from the LORD; the plague has started.”
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 16:47 - So Aaron did as Moses said, and ran into the midst of the assembly. The plague had already started among the people, but Aaron offered the incense and made atonement for them.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 16:50 - Then Aaron returned to Moses at the entrance to the tent of meeting, for the plague had stopped.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 17:8 - The next day Moses entered the tent and saw that Aaron's staff, which represented the tribe of Levi, had not only sprouted but had budded, blossomed and produced almonds.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 17:9 - Then Moses brought out all the staffs from the LORD's presence to all the Israelites. They looked at them, and each of the leaders took his own staff.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 17:10 - The LORD said to Moses, “Put back Aaron's staff in front of the ark of the covenant law, to be kept as a sign to the rebellious. This will put an end to their grumbling against me, so that they will not die.”
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 18:7 - But only you and your sons may serve as priests in connection with everything at the altar and inside the curtain. I am giving you the service of the priesthood as a gift. Anyone else who comes near the sanctuary is to be put to death.”
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 18:8 - Then the LORD said to Aaron, “I myself have put you in charge of the offerings presented to me; all the holy offerings the Israelites give me I give to you and your sons as your portion, your perpetual share.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 18:22 - From now on the Israelites must not go near the tent of meeting, or they will bear the consequences of their sin and will die.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 18:23 - It is the Levites who are to do the work at the tent of meeting and bear the responsibility for any offenses they commit against it. This is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come. They will receive no inheritance among the Israelites.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 18:30 - “Say to the Levites: ‘When you present the best part, it will be reckoned to you as the product of the threshing floor or the winepress.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 18:32 - By presenting the best part of it you will not be guilty in this matter; then you will not defile the holy offerings of the Israelites, and you will not die.' ”
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 19:7 - After that, the priest must wash his clothes and bathe himself with water. He may then come into the camp, but he will be ceremonially unclean till evening.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 19:9 - “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.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 19:10 - The man who gathers up the ashes of the heifer must also wash his clothes, and he too will be unclean till evening. This will be a lasting ordinance both for the Israelites and for the foreigners residing among them.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 19:13 - If they fail to purify themselves after touching a human corpse, they defile the LORD's tabernacle. They must be cut off from Israel. Because the water of cleansing has not been sprinkled on them, they are unclean; their uncleanness remains on them.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 19:14 - “This is the law that applies when a person dies in a tent: Anyone who enters the tent and anyone who is in it will be unclean for seven days,
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 20:1 - In the first month the whole Israelite community arrived at the Desert of Zin, and they stayed at Kadesh. There Miriam died and was buried.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 20:4 - Why did you bring the LORD's community into this wilderness, that we and our livestock should die here?
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 20:6 - Moses and Aaron went from the assembly to the entrance to the tent of meeting and fell facedown, and the glory of the LORD appeared to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 20:8 - “Take the staff, and you and your brother Aaron gather the assembly together. Speak to that rock before their eyes and it will pour out its water. You will bring water out of the rock for the community so they and their livestock can drink.”
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 20:9 - So Moses took the staff from the LORD's presence, just as he commanded him.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 20:10 - He and Aaron gathered the assembly together in front of the rock and Moses said to them, “Listen, you rebels, must we bring you water out of this rock?”
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 20:11 - Then Moses raised his arm and struck the rock twice with his staff. Water gushed out, and the community and their livestock drank.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 20:12 - But the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not trust in me enough to honor me as holy in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this community into the land I give them.”
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 20:24 - “Aaron will be gathered to his people. He will not enter the land I give the Israelites, because both of you rebelled against my command at the waters of Meribah.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 20:26 - Remove Aaron's garments and put them on his son Eleazar, for Aaron will be gathered to his people; he will die there.”
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 21:1 - When the Canaanite king of Arad, who lived in the Negev, heard that Israel was coming along the road to Atharim, he attacked the Israelites and captured some of them.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 21:14 - That is why the Book of the Wars of the LORD says: “. . . Zahab[fn] in Suphah and the ravines, the Arnon
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 21:23 - But Sihon would not let Israel pass through his territory. He mustered his entire army and marched out into the wilderness against Israel. When he reached Jahaz, he fought with Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 21:26 - Heshbon was the city of Sihon king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab and had taken from him all his land as far as the Arnon.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 21:32 - After Moses had sent spies to Jazer, the Israelites captured its surrounding settlements and drove out the Amorites who were there.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 21:33 - Then they turned and went up along the road toward Bashan, and Og king of Bashan and his whole army marched out to meet them in battle at Edrei.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 21:34 - The LORD said to Moses, “Do not be afraid of him, for I have delivered him into your hands, along with his whole army and his land. Do to him what you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon.”
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 21:35 - So they struck him down, together with his sons and his whole army, leaving them no survivors. And they took possession of his land.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 22:5 - sent messengers to summon Balaam son of Beor, who was at Pethor, near the Euphrates River, in his native land. Balak said: “A people has come out of Egypt; they cover the face of the land and have settled next to me.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 22:8 - “Spend the night here,” Balaam said to them, “and I will report back to you with the answer the LORD gives me.” So the Moabite officials stayed with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 22:11 - ‘A people that has come out of Egypt covers the face of the land. Now come and put a curse on them for me. Perhaps then I will be able to fight them and drive them away.' ”
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 22:19 - Now spend the night here so that I can find out what else the LORD will tell me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 22:21 - Balaam got up in the morning, saddled his donkey and went with the Moabite officials.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 22:23 - When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD standing in the road with a drawn sword in his hand, it turned off the road into a field. Balaam beat it to get it back on the road.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 22:27 - When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, it lay down under Balaam, and he was angry and beat it with his staff.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 22:31 - Then the LORD opened Balaam's eyes, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the road with his sword drawn. So he bowed low and fell facedown.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 22:32 - The angel of the LORD asked him, “Why have you beaten your donkey these three times? I have come here to oppose you because your path is a reckless one before me.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 22:41 - The next morning Balak took Balaam up to Bamoth Baal, and from there he could see the outskirts of the Israelite camp.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 23:7 - Then Balaam spoke his message: “Balak brought me from Aram, the king of Moab from the eastern mountains. ‘Come,' he said, ‘curse Jacob for me; come, denounce Israel.'
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 23:18 - Then he spoke his message: “Arise, Balak, and listen; hear me, son of Zippor.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 23:28 - And Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, overlooking the wasteland.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 24:1 - Now when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he did not resort to divination as at other times, but turned his face toward the wilderness.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 24:3 - and he spoke his message: “The prophecy of Balaam son of Beor, the prophecy of one whose eye sees clearly,
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 24:15 - Then he spoke his message: “The prophecy of Balaam son of Beor, the prophecy of one whose eye sees clearly,
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 24:20 - Then Balaam saw Amalek and spoke his message: “Amalek was first among the nations, but their end will be utter destruction.”
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 24:21 - Then he saw the Kenites and spoke his message: “Your dwelling place is secure, your nest is set in a rock;
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 24:23 - Then he spoke his message: “Alas! Who can live when God does this?[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 25:6 - Then an Israelite man brought into the camp a Midianite woman right before the eyes of Moses and the whole assembly of Israel while they were weeping at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 25:8 - and followed the Israelite into the tent. He drove the spear into both of them, right through the Israelite man and into the woman's stomach. Then the plague against the Israelites was stopped;
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 25:18 - They treated you as enemies when they deceived you in the Peor incident involving their sister Kozbi, the daughter of a Midianite leader, the woman who was killed when the plague came as a result of that incident.”
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 26:1 - After the plague the LORD said to Moses and Eleazar son of Aaron, the priest,
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 26:2 - “Take a census of the whole Israelite community by families—all those twenty years old or more who are able to serve in the army of Israel.”
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 26:22 - These were the clans of Judah; those numbered were 76,500.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 26:54 - To a larger group give a larger inheritance, and to a smaller group a smaller one; each is to receive its inheritance according to the number of those listed.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 26:56 - Each inheritance is to be distributed by lot among the larger and smaller groups.”
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 26:59 - the name of Amram's wife was Jochebed, a descendant of Levi, who was born to the Levites[fn] in Egypt. To Amram she bore Aaron, Moses and their sister Miriam.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 27:5 - So Moses brought their case before the LORD,
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 27:8 - “Say to the Israelites, ‘If a man dies and leaves no son, give his inheritance to his daughter.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 27:9 - If he has no daughter, give his inheritance to his brothers.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 27:10 - If he has no brothers, give his inheritance to his father's brothers.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 27:11 - If his father had no brothers, give his inheritance to the nearest relative in his clan, that he may possess it. This is to have the force of law for the Israelites, as the LORD commanded Moses.' ”
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 27:12 - Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go up this mountain in the Abarim Range and see the land I have given the Israelites.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 27:14 - for when the community rebelled at the waters in the Desert of Zin, both of you disobeyed my command to honor me as holy before their eyes.” (These were the waters of Meribah Kadesh, in the Desert of Zin.)
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 27:21 - He is to stand before Eleazar the priest, who will obtain decisions for him by inquiring of the Urim before the LORD. At his command he and the entire community of the Israelites will go out, and at his command they will come in.”
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 28:3 - Say to them: ‘This is the food offering you are to present to the LORD: two lambs a year old without defect, as a regular burnt offering each day.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 28:8 - Offer the second lamb at twilight, along with the same kind of grain offering and drink offering that you offer in the morning. This is a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the LORD.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 29:6 - These are in addition to the monthly and daily burnt offerings with their grain offerings and drink offerings as specified. They are food offerings presented to the LORD, a pleasing aroma.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 31:18 - but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 31:24 - On the seventh day wash your clothes and you will be clean. Then you may come into the camp.”

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 32:4 - the land the LORD subdued before the people of Israel—are suitable for livestock, and your servants have livestock.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 32:7 - Why do you discourage the Israelites from crossing over into the land the LORD has given them?
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 32:8 - This is what your fathers did when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to look over the land.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 32:9 - After they went up to the Valley of Eshkol and viewed the land, they discouraged the Israelites from entering the land the LORD had given them.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 32:11 - ‘Because they have not followed me wholeheartedly, not one of those who were twenty years old or more when they came up out of Egypt will see the land I promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob—
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 32:15 - If you turn away from following him, he will again leave all this people in the wilderness, and you will be the cause of their destruction.”
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 32:17 - But we will arm ourselves for battle[fn] and go ahead of the Israelites until we have brought them to their place. Meanwhile our women and children will live in fortified cities, for protection from the inhabitants of the land.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 32:18 - We will not return to our homes until each of the Israelites has received their inheritance.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 32:23 - “But if you fail to do this, you will be sinning against the LORD; and you may be sure that your sin will find you out.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 32:29 - He said to them, “If the Gadites and Reubenites, every man armed for battle, cross over the Jordan with you before the LORD, then when the land is subdued before you, you must give them the land of Gilead as their possession.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 34:18 - And appoint one leader from each tribe to help assign the land.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 1:19 - Then, as the LORD our God commanded us, we set out from Horeb and went toward the hill country of the Amorites through all that vast and dreadful wilderness that you have seen, and so we reached Kadesh Barnea.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 1:21 - See, the LORD your God has given you the land. Go up and take possession of it as the LORD, the God of your ancestors, told you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 1:22 - Then all of you came to me and said, “Let us send men ahead to spy out the land for us and bring back a report about the route we are to take and the towns we will come to.”
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 1:28 - Where can we go? Our brothers have made our hearts melt in fear. They say, ‘The people are stronger and taller than we are; the cities are large, with walls up to the sky. We even saw the Anakites there.' ”
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 1:31 - and in the wilderness. There you saw how the LORD your God carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went until you reached this place.”
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 1:33 - who went ahead of you on your journey, in fire by night and in a cloud by day, to search out places for you to camp and to show you the way you should go.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 1:34 - When the LORD heard what you said, he was angry and solemnly swore:
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 1:35 - “No one from this evil generation shall see the good land I swore to give your ancestors,
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 1:36 - except Caleb son of Jephunneh. He will see it, and I will give him and his descendants the land he set his feet on, because he followed the LORD wholeheartedly.”
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 1:40 - But as for you, turn around and set out toward the desert along the route to the Red Sea.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 2:1 - Then we turned back and set out toward the wilderness along the route to the Red Sea,[fn] as the LORD had directed me. For a long time we made our way around the hill country of Seir.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 2:7 - The LORD your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He has watched over your journey through this vast wilderness. These forty years the LORD your God has been with you, and you have not lacked anything.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 2:8 - So we went on past our relatives the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. We turned from the Arabah road, which comes up from Elath and Ezion Geber, and traveled along the desert road of Moab.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 2:9 - Then the LORD said to me, “Do not harass the Moabites or provoke them to war, for I will not give you any part of their land. I have given Ar to the descendants of Lot as a possession.”
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 2:12 - Horites used to live in Seir, but the descendants of Esau drove them out. They destroyed the Horites from before them and settled in their place, just as Israel did in the land the LORD gave them as their possession.)
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 2:13 - And the LORD said, “Now get up and cross the Zered Valley.” So we crossed the valley.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 2:14 - Thirty-eight years passed from the time we left Kadesh Barnea until we crossed the Zered Valley. By then, that entire generation of fighting men had perished from the camp, as the LORD had sworn to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 2:18 - “Today you are to pass by the region of Moab at Ar.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 2:24 - “Set out now and cross the Arnon Gorge. See, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his country. Begin to take possession of it and engage him in battle.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 2:29 - as the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir, and the Moabites, who live in Ar, did for us—until we cross the Jordan into the land the LORD our God is giving us.”
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 2:30 - But Sihon king of Heshbon refused to let us pass through. For the LORD your God had made his spirit stubborn and his heart obstinate in order to give him into your hands, as he has now done.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 2:31 - The LORD said to me, “See, I have begun to deliver Sihon and his country over to you. Now begin to conquer and possess his land.”
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 2:36 - From Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Gorge, and from the town in the gorge, even as far as Gilead, not one town was too strong for us. The LORD our God gave us all of them.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 3:1 - Next we turned and went up along the road toward Bashan, and Og king of Bashan with his whole army marched out to meet us in battle at Edrei.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 3:2 - The LORD said to me, “Do not be afraid of him, for I have delivered him into your hands, along with his whole army and his land. Do to him what you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon.”
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 3:8 - So at that time we took from these two kings of the Amorites the territory east of the Jordan, from the Arnon Gorge as far as Mount Hermon.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 3:12 - Of the land that we took over at that time, I gave the Reubenites and the Gadites the territory north of Aroer by the Arnon Gorge, including half the hill country of Gilead, together with its towns.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 3:13 - The rest of Gilead and also all of Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh. (The whole region of Argob in Bashan used to be known as a land of the Rephaites.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 3:14 - Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, took the whole region of Argob as far as the border of the Geshurites and the Maakathites; it was named after him, so that to this day Bashan is called Havvoth Jair.[fn])
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 3:15 - And I gave Gilead to Makir.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 3:17 - Its western border was the Jordan in the Arabah, from Kinnereth to the Sea of the Arabah (that is, the Dead Sea), below the slopes of Pisgah.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 3:18 - I commanded you at that time: “The LORD your God has given you this land to take possession of it. But all your able-bodied men, armed for battle, must cross over ahead of the other Israelites.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 3:20 - until the LORD gives rest to your fellow Israelites as he has to you, and they too have taken over the land that the LORD your God is giving them across the Jordan. After that, each of you may go back to the possession I have given you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 3:24 - “Sovereign LORD, you have begun to show to your servant your greatness and your strong hand. For what god is there in heaven or on earth who can do the deeds and mighty works you do?
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 3:25 - Let me go over and see the good land beyond the Jordan—that fine hill country and Lebanon.”
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 3:28 - But commission Joshua, and encourage and strengthen him, for he will lead this people across and will cause them to inherit the land that you will see.”
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 4:1 - Now, Israel, hear the decrees and laws I am about to teach you. Follow them so that you may live and may go in and take possession of the land the LORD, the God of your ancestors, is giving you.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 4:9 - Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them fade from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 4:13 - He declared to you his covenant, the Ten Commandments, which he commanded you to follow and then wrote them on two stone tablets.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 4:19 - And when you look up to the sky and see the sun, the moon and the stars—all the heavenly array—do not be enticed into bowing down to them and worshiping things the LORD your God has apportioned to all the nations under heaven.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 4:21 - The LORD was angry with me because of you, and he solemnly swore that I would not cross the Jordan and enter the good land the LORD your God is giving you as your inheritance.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 4:22 - I will die in this land; I will not cross the Jordan; but you are about to cross over and take possession of that good land.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 4:23 - Be careful not to forget the covenant of the LORD your God that he made with you; do not make for yourselves an idol in the form of anything the LORD your God has forbidden.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 4:26 - I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you this day that you will quickly perish from the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess. You will not live there long but will certainly be destroyed.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 4:31 - For the LORD your God is a merciful God; he will not abandon or destroy you or forget the covenant with your ancestors, which he confirmed to them by oath.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 4:38 - to drive out before you nations greater and stronger than you and to bring you into their land to give it to you for your inheritance, as it is today.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 4:43 - The cities were these: Bezer in the wilderness plateau, for the Reubenites; Ramoth in Gilead, for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, for the Manassites.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 4:47 - They took possession of his land and the land of Og king of Bashan, the two Amorite kings east of the Jordan.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 4:49 - and included all the Arabah east of the Jordan, as far as the Dead Sea,[fn] below the slopes of Pisgah.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 5:3 - It was not with our ancestors[fn] that the LORD made this covenant, but with us, with all of us who are alive here today.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 5:12 - “Observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy, as the LORD your God has commanded you.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 5:15 - Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and that the LORD your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. Therefore the LORD your God has commanded you to observe the Sabbath day.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 5:16 - “Honor your father and your mother, as the LORD your God has commanded you, so that you may live long and that it may go well with you in the land the LORD your God is giving you.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 5:21 - “You shall not covet your neighbor's wife. You shall not set your desire on your neighbor's house or land, his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 5:23 - When you heard the voice out of the darkness, while the mountain was ablaze with fire, all the leaders of your tribes and your elders came to me.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 5:24 - And you said, “The LORD our God has shown us his glory and his majesty, and we have heard his voice from the fire. Today we have seen that a person can live even if God speaks with them.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 5:25 - But now, why should we die? This great fire will consume us, and we will die if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any longer.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 5:28 - The LORD heard you when you spoke to me, and the LORD said to me, “I have heard what this people said to you. Everything they said was good.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 5:29 - Oh, that their hearts would be inclined to fear me and keep all my commands always, so that it might go well with them and their children forever!
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 5:33 - Walk in obedience to all that the LORD your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 6:10 - When the LORD your God brings you into the land he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give you—a land with large, flourishing cities you did not build,
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 6:18 - Do what is right and good in the LORD's sight, so that it may go well with you and you may go in and take over the good land the LORD promised on oath to your ancestors,
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 6:23 - But he brought us out from there to bring us in and give us the land he promised on oath to our ancestors.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 7:1 - When the LORD your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess and drives out before you many nations—the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites, seven nations larger and stronger than you—
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 7:3 - Do not intermarry with them. Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons,
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 7:12 - If you pay attention to these laws and are careful to follow them, then the LORD your God will keep his covenant of love with you, as he swore to your ancestors.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 7:19 - You saw with your own eyes the great trials, the signs and wonders, the mighty hand and outstretched arm, with which the LORD your God brought you out. The LORD your God will do the same to all the peoples you now fear.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 8:1 - Be careful to follow every command I am giving you today, so that you may live and increase and may enter and possess the land the LORD promised on oath to your ancestors.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 8:2 - Remember how the LORD your God led you all the way in the wilderness these forty years, to humble and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 8:17 - You may say to yourself, “My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 8:18 - But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 8:19 - If you ever forget the LORD your God and follow other gods and worship and bow down to them, I testify against you today that you will surely be destroyed.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 9:4 - After the LORD your God has driven them out before you, do not say to yourself, “The LORD has brought me here to take possession of this land because of my righteousness.” No, it is on account of the wickedness of these nations that the LORD is going to drive them out before you.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 9:5 - It is not because of your righteousness or your integrity that you are going in to take possession of their land; but on account of the wickedness of these nations, the LORD your God will drive them out before you, to accomplish what he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 9:6 - Understand, then, that it is not because of your righteousness that the LORD your God is giving you this good land to possess, for you are a stiff-necked people.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 9:19 - I feared the anger and wrath of the LORD, for he was angry enough with you to destroy you. But again the LORD listened to me.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 9:21 - Also I took that sinful thing of yours, the calf you had made, and burned it in the fire. Then I crushed it and ground it to powder as fine as dust and threw the dust into a stream that flowed down the mountain.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 9:23 - And when the LORD sent you out from Kadesh Barnea, he said, “Go up and take possession of the land I have given you.” But you rebelled against the command of the LORD your God. You did not trust him or obey him.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 9:26 - I prayed to the LORD and said, “Sovereign LORD, do not destroy your people, your own inheritance that you redeemed by your great power and brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 9:27 - Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Overlook the stubbornness of this people, their wickedness and their sin.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 9:28 - Otherwise, the country from which you brought us will say, ‘Because the LORD was not able to take them into the land he had promised them, and because he hated them, he brought them out to put them to death in the wilderness.'
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 10:2 - I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke. Then you are to put them in the ark.”
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 10:4 - The LORD wrote on these tablets what he had written before, the Ten Commandments he had proclaimed to you on the mountain, out of the fire, on the day of the assembly. And the LORD gave them to me.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 10:5 - Then I came back down the mountain and put the tablets in the ark I had made, as the LORD commanded me, and they are there now.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 10:8 - At that time the LORD set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister and to pronounce blessings in his name, as they still do today.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 10:11 - “Go,” the LORD said to me, “and lead the people on their way, so that they may enter and possess the land I swore to their ancestors to give them.”
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 10:15 - Yet the LORD set his affection on your ancestors and loved them, and he chose you, their descendants, above all the nations—as it is today.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 10:16 - Circumcise your hearts, therefore, and do not be stiff-necked any longer.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 11:2 - Remember today that your children were not the ones who saw and experienced the discipline of the LORD your God: his majesty, his mighty hand, his outstretched arm;
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 11:4 - what he did to the Egyptian army, to its horses and chariots, how he overwhelmed them with the waters of the Red Sea[fn] as they were pursuing you, and how the LORD brought lasting ruin on them.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 11:6 - and what he did to Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab the Reubenite, when the earth opened its mouth right in the middle of all Israel and swallowed them up with their households, their tents and every living thing that belonged to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 11:8 - Observe therefore all the commands I am giving you today, so that you may have the strength to go in and take over the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess,
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 11:18 - Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 11:27 - the blessing if you obey the commands of the LORD your God that I am giving you today;
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 11:29 - When the LORD your God has brought you into the land you are entering to possess, you are to proclaim on Mount Gerizim the blessings, and on Mount Ebal the curses.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 11:31 - You are about to cross the Jordan to enter and take possession of the land the LORD your God is giving you. When you have taken it over and are living there,
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 12:7 - There, in the presence of the LORD your God, you and your families shall eat and shall rejoice in everything you have put your hand to, because the LORD your God has blessed you.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 12:9 - since you have not yet reached the resting place and the inheritance the LORD your God is giving you.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 12:15 - Nevertheless, you may slaughter your animals in any of your towns and eat as much of the meat as you want, as if it were gazelle or deer, according to the blessing the LORD your God gives you. Both the ceremonially unclean and the clean may eat it.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 12:16 - But you must not eat the blood; pour it out on the ground like water.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 12:18 - Instead, you are to eat them in the presence of the LORD your God at the place the LORD your God will choose—you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, and the Levites from your towns—and you are to rejoice before the LORD your God in everything you put your hand to.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 12:21 - If the place where the LORD your God chooses to put his Name is too far away from you, you may slaughter animals from the herds and flocks the LORD has given you, as I have commanded you, and in your own towns you may eat as much of them as you want.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 12:24 - You must not eat the blood; pour it out on the ground like water.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 12:27 - Present your burnt offerings on the altar of the LORD your God, both the meat and the blood. The blood of your sacrifices must be poured beside the altar of the LORD your God, but you may eat the meat.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 12:29 - The LORD your God will cut off before you the nations you are about to invade and dispossess. But when you have driven them out and settled in their land,
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 13:13 - that troublemakers have arisen among you and have led the people of their town astray, saying, “Let us go and worship other gods” (gods you have not known),
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 13:16 - You are to gather all the plunder of the town into the middle of the public square and completely burn the town and all its plunder as a whole burnt offering to the LORD your God. That town is to remain a ruin forever, never to be rebuilt,
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 15:7 - If anyone is poor among your fellow Israelites in any of the towns of the land the LORD your God is giving you, do not be hardhearted or tightfisted toward them.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 15:10 - Give generously to them and do so without a grudging heart; then because of this the LORD your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 15:16 - But if your servant says to you, “I do not want to leave you,” because he loves you and your family and is well off with you,
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 15:17 - then take an awl and push it through his earlobe into the door, and he will become your servant for life. Do the same for your female servant.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 15:23 - But you must not eat the blood; pour it out on the ground like water.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 16:3 - Do not eat it with bread made with yeast, but for seven days eat unleavened bread, the bread of affliction, because you left Egypt in haste—so that all the days of your life you may remember the time of your departure from Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 16:17 - Each of you must bring a gift in proportion to the way the LORD your God has blessed you.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 16:20 - Follow justice and justice alone, so that you may live and possess the land the LORD your God is giving you.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 17:2 - If a man or woman living among you in one of the towns the LORD gives you is found doing evil in the eyes of the LORD your God in violation of his covenant,
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 17:5 - take the man or woman who has done this evil deed to your city gate and stone that person to death.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 17:9 - Go to the Levitical priests and to the judge who is in office at that time. Inquire of them and they will give you the verdict.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 17:14 - When you enter the land the LORD your God is giving you and have taken possession of it and settled in it, and you say, “Let us set a king over us like all the nations around us,”

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 18:10 - Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft,

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 19:3 - Determine the distances involved and divide into three parts the land the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, so that a person who kills someone may flee for refuge to one of these cities.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 19:6 - Otherwise, the avenger of blood might pursue him in a rage, overtake him if the distance is too great, and kill him even though he is not deserving of death, since he did it to his neighbor without malice aforethought.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 19:8 - If the LORD your God enlarges your territory, as he promised on oath to your ancestors, and gives you the whole land he promised them,
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 20:5 - The officers shall say to the army: “Has anyone built a new house and not yet begun to live in it? Let him go home, or he may die in battle and someone else may begin to live in it.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 20:14 - As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything else in the city, you may take these as plunder for yourselves. And you may use the plunder the LORD your God gives you from your enemies.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 22:21 - she shall be brought to the door of her father's house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death. She has done an outrageous thing in Israel by being promiscuous while still in her father's house. You must purge the evil from among you.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 22:22 - If a man is found sleeping with another man's wife, both the man who slept with her and the woman must die. You must purge the evil from Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 22:24 - you shall take both of them to the gate of that town and stone them to death—the young woman because she was in a town and did not scream for help, and the man because he violated another man's wife. You must purge the evil from among you.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 22:25 - But if out in the country a man happens to meet a young woman pledged to be married and rapes her, only the man who has done this shall die.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 22:28 - If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered,

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 2:18 - unless, when we enter the land, you have tied this scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down, and unless you have brought your father and mother, your brothers and all your family into your house.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 2:19 - If any of them go outside your house into the street, their blood will be on their own heads; we will not be responsible. As for those who are in the house with you, their blood will be on our head if a hand is laid on them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 2:22 - When they left, they went into the hills and stayed there three days, until the pursuers had searched all along the road and returned without finding them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 2:24 - They said to Joshua, “The LORD has surely given the whole land into our hands; all the people are melting in fear because of us.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 3:3 - giving orders to the people: “When you see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the Levitical priests carrying it, you are to move out from your positions and follow it.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 3:4 - Then you will know which way to go, since you have never been this way before. But keep a distance of about two thousand cubits[fn] between you and the ark; do not go near it.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 3:6 - Joshua said to the priests, “Take up the ark of the covenant and pass on ahead of the people.” So they took it up and went ahead of them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 3:8 - Tell the priests who carry the ark of the covenant: ‘When you reach the edge of the Jordan's waters, go and stand in the river.' ”
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 3:13 - And as soon as the priests who carry the ark of the LORD—the Lord of all the earth—set foot in the Jordan, its waters flowing downstream will be cut off and stand up in a heap.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 3:14 - So when the people broke camp to cross the Jordan, the priests carrying the ark of the covenant went ahead of them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 3:15 - Now the Jordan is at flood stage all during harvest. Yet as soon as the priests who carried the ark reached the Jordan and their feet touched the water's edge,
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 3:16 - the water from upstream stopped flowing. It piled up in a heap a great distance away, at a town called Adam in the vicinity of Zarethan, while the water flowing down to the Sea of the Arabah (that is, the Dead Sea) was completely cut off. So the people crossed over opposite Jericho.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 3:17 - The priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD stopped in the middle of the Jordan and stood on dry ground, while all Israel passed by until the whole nation had completed the crossing on dry ground.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 4:3 - and tell them to take up twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan, from right where the priests are standing, and carry them over with you and put them down at the place where you stay tonight.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 4:8 - So the Israelites did as Joshua commanded them. They took twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan, according to the number of the tribes of the Israelites, as the LORD had told Joshua; and they carried them over with them to their camp, where they put them down.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 4:9 - Joshua set up the twelve stones that had been[fn] in the middle of the Jordan at the spot where the priests who carried the ark of the covenant had stood. And they are there to this day.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 4:10 - Now the priests who carried the ark remained standing in the middle of the Jordan until everything the LORD had commanded Joshua was done by the people, just as Moses had directed Joshua. The people hurried over,
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 4:13 - About forty thousand armed for battle crossed over before the LORD to the plains of Jericho for war.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 4:16 - “Command the priests carrying the ark of the covenant law to come up out of the Jordan.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 4:18 - And the priests came up out of the river carrying the ark of the covenant of the LORD. No sooner had they set their feet on the dry ground than the waters of the Jordan returned to their place and ran at flood stage as before.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 4:23 - For the LORD your God dried up the Jordan before you until you had crossed over. The LORD your God did to the Jordan what he had done to the Red Sea[fn] when he dried it up before us until we had crossed over.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 5:1 - Now when all the Amorite kings west of the Jordan and all the Canaanite kings along the coast heard how the LORD had dried up the Jordan before the Israelites until they[fn] had crossed over, their hearts melted in fear and they no longer had the courage to face the Israelites.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 5:6 - The Israelites had moved about in the wilderness forty years until all the men who were of military age when they left Egypt had died, since they had not obeyed the LORD. For the LORD had sworn to them that they would not see the land he had solemnly promised their ancestors to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 5:7 - So he raised up their sons in their place, and these were the ones Joshua circumcised. They were still uncircumcised because they had not been circumcised on the way.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 5:12 - The manna stopped the day after[fn] they ate this food from the land; there was no longer any manna for the Israelites, but that year they ate the produce of Canaan.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 5:14 - “Neither,” he replied, “but as commander of the army of the LORD I have now come.” Then Joshua fell facedown to the ground in reverence, and asked him, “What message does my Lord[fn] have for his servant?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 6:2 - Then the LORD said to Joshua, “See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands, along with its king and its fighting men.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 6:5 - When you hear them sound a long blast on the trumpets, have the whole army give a loud shout; then the wall of the city will collapse and the army will go up, everyone straight in.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 6:7 - And he ordered the army, “Advance! March around the city, with an armed guard going ahead of the ark of the LORD.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 6:10 - But Joshua had commanded the army, “Do not give a war cry, do not raise your voices, do not say a word until the day I tell you to shout. Then shout!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 6:11 - So he had the ark of the LORD carried around the city, circling it once. Then the army returned to camp and spent the night there.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 6:12 - Joshua got up early the next morning and the priests took up the ark of the LORD.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 6:13 - The seven priests carrying the seven trumpets went forward, marching before the ark of the LORD and blowing the trumpets. The armed men went ahead of them and the rear guard followed the ark of the LORD, while the trumpets kept sounding.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 6:14 - So on the second day they marched around the city once and returned to the camp. They did this for six days.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 6:15 - On the seventh day, they got up at daybreak and marched around the city seven times in the same manner, except that on that day they circled the city seven times.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 6:16 - The seventh time around, when the priests sounded the trumpet blast, Joshua commanded the army, “Shout! For the LORD has given you the city!
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 6:17 - The city and all that is in it are to be devoted[fn] to the LORD. Only Rahab the prostitute and all who are with her in her house shall be spared, because she hid the spies we sent.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 6:18 - But keep away from the devoted things, so that you will not bring about your own destruction by taking any of them. Otherwise you will make the camp of Israel liable to destruction and bring trouble on it.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 6:20 - When the trumpets sounded, the army shouted, and at the sound of the trumpet, when the men gave a loud shout, the wall collapsed; so everyone charged straight in, and they took the city.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 6:22 - Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, “Go into the prostitute's house and bring her out and all who belong to her, in accordance with your oath to her.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 6:23 - So the young men who had done the spying went in and brought out Rahab, her father and mother, her brothers and sisters and all who belonged to her. They brought out her entire family and put them in a place outside the camp of Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 6:25 - But Joshua spared Rahab the prostitute, with her family and all who belonged to her, because she hid the men Joshua had sent as spies to Jericho—and she lives among the Israelites to this day.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 6:26 - At that time Joshua pronounced this solemn oath: “Cursed before the LORD is the one who undertakes to rebuild this city, Jericho: “At the cost of his firstborn son he will lay its foundations; at the cost of his youngest he will set up its gates.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 6:27 - So the LORD was with Joshua, and his fame spread throughout the land.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 7:2 - Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is near Beth Aven to the east of Bethel, and told them, “Go up and spy out the region.” So the men went up and spied out Ai.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 7:3 - When they returned to Joshua, they said, “Not all the army will have to go up against Ai. Send two or three thousand men to take it and do not weary the whole army, for only a few people live there.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 7:6 - Then Joshua tore his clothes and fell facedown to the ground before the ark of the LORD, remaining there till evening. The elders of Israel did the same, and sprinkled dust on their heads.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 7:9 - The Canaanites and the other people of the country will hear about this and they will surround us and wipe out our name from the earth. What then will you do for your own great name?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 7:11 - Israel has sinned; they have violated my covenant, which I commanded them to keep. They have taken some of the devoted things; they have stolen, they have lied, they have put them with their own possessions.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 7:15 - Whoever is caught with the devoted things shall be destroyed by fire, along with all that belongs to him. He has violated the covenant of the LORD and has done an outrageous thing in Israel!' ”
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 7:19 - Then Joshua said to Achan, “My son, give glory to the LORD, the God of Israel, and honor him. Tell me what you have done; do not hide it from me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 7:22 - So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent, and there it was, hidden in his tent, with the silver underneath.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 7:24 - Then Joshua, together with all Israel, took Achan son of Zerah, the silver, the robe, the gold bar, his sons and daughters, his cattle, donkeys and sheep, his tent and all that he had, to the Valley of Achor.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 8:1 - Then the LORD said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Take the whole army with you, and go up and attack Ai. For I have delivered into your hands the king of Ai, his people, his city and his land.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 8:2 - You shall do to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho and its king, except that you may carry off their plunder and livestock for yourselves. Set an ambush behind the city.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 8:5 - I and all those with me will advance on the city, and when the men come out against us, as they did before, we will flee from them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 8:7 - you are to rise up from ambush and take the city. The LORD your God will give it into your hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 8:9 - Then Joshua sent them off, and they went to the place of ambush and lay in wait between Bethel and Ai, to the west of Ai—but Joshua spent that night with the people.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 8:17 - Not a man remained in Ai or Bethel who did not go after Israel. They left the city open and went in pursuit of Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 8:18 - Then the LORD said to Joshua, “Hold out toward Ai the javelin that is in your hand, for into your hand I will deliver the city.” So Joshua held out toward the city the javelin that was in his hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 8:19 - As soon as he did this, the men in the ambush rose quickly from their position and rushed forward. They entered the city and captured it and quickly set it on fire.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 8:21 - For when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city and that smoke was going up from it, they turned around and attacked the men of Ai.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 8:28 - So Joshua burned Ai[fn] and made it a permanent heap of ruins, a desolate place to this day.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 8:33 - All the Israelites, with their elders, officials and judges, were standing on both sides of the ark of the covenant of the LORD, facing the Levitical priests who carried it. Both the foreigners living among them and the native-born were there. Half of the people stood in front of Mount Gerizim and half of them in front of Mount Ebal, as Moses the servant of the LORD had formerly commanded when he gave instructions to bless the people of Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 9:6 - Then they went to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal and said to him and the Israelites, “We have come from a distant country; make a treaty with us.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 9:11 - And our elders and all those living in our country said to us, ‘Take provisions for your journey; go and meet them and say to them, “We are your servants; make a treaty with us.” '
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 9:24 - They answered Joshua, “Your servants were clearly told how the LORD your God had commanded his servant Moses to give you the whole land and to wipe out all its inhabitants from before you. So we feared for our lives because of you, and that is why we did this.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 10:1 - Now Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had taken Ai and totally destroyed[fn] it, doing to Ai and its king as he had done to Jericho and its king, and that the people of Gibeon had made a treaty of peace with Israel and had become their allies.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 10:5 - Then the five kings of the Amorites—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish and Eglon—joined forces. They moved up with all their troops and took up positions against Gibeon and attacked it.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 10:6 - The Gibeonites then sent word to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal: “Do not abandon your servants. Come up to us quickly and save us! Help us, because all the Amorite kings from the hill country have joined forces against us.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 10:9 - After an all-night march from Gilgal, Joshua took them by surprise.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 10:19 - But don't stop; pursue your enemies! Attack them from the rear and don't let them reach their cities, for the LORD your God has given them into your hand.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 10:28 - That day Joshua took Makkedah. He put the city and its king to the sword and totally destroyed everyone in it. He left no survivors. And he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 10:32 - The LORD gave Lachish into Israel's hands, and Joshua took it on the second day. The city and everyone in it he put to the sword, just as he had done to Libnah.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 10:37 - They took the city and put it to the sword, together with its king, its villages and everyone in it. They left no survivors. Just as at Eglon, they totally destroyed it and everyone in it.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 10:39 - They took the city, its king and its villages, and put them to the sword. Everyone in it they totally destroyed. They left no survivors. They did to Debir and its king as they had done to Libnah and its king and to Hebron.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 10:41 - Joshua subdued them from Kadesh Barnea to Gaza and from the whole region of Goshen to Gibeon.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 10:42 - All these kings and their lands Joshua conquered in one campaign, because the LORD, the God of Israel, fought for Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 11:2 - and to the northern kings who were in the mountains, in the Arabah south of Kinnereth, in the western foothills and in Naphoth Dor on the west;
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 11:3 - to the Canaanites in the east and west; to the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites and Jebusites in the hill country; and to the Hivites below Hermon in the region of Mizpah.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 11:6 - The LORD said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them, because by this time tomorrow I will hand all of them, slain, over to Israel. You are to hamstring their horses and burn their chariots.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 11:11 - Everyone in it they put to the sword. They totally destroyed[fn] them, not sparing anyone that breathed, and he burned Hazor itself.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 11:16 - So Joshua took this entire land: the hill country, all the Negev, the whole region of Goshen, the western foothills, the Arabah and the mountains of Israel with their foothills,
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 11:20 - For it was the LORD himself who hardened their hearts to wage war against Israel, so that he might destroy them totally, exterminating them without mercy, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Unchecked Copy BoxRth 4:6 - At this, the guardian-redeemer said, “Then I cannot redeem it because I might endanger my own estate. You redeem it yourself. I cannot do it.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRth 4:7 - (Now in earlier times in Israel, for the redemption and transfer of property to become final, one party took off his sandal and gave it to the other. This was the method of legalizing transactions in Israel.)

Unchecked Copy BoxRth 4:10 - I have also acquired Ruth the Moabite, Mahlon's widow, as my wife, in order to maintain the name of the dead with his property, so that his name will not disappear from among his family or from his hometown. Today you are witnesses!”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 2:29 - Why do you[fn] scorn my sacrifice and offering that I prescribed for my dwelling? Why do you honor your sons more than me by fattening yourselves on the choice parts of every offering made by my people Israel?'
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 2:33 - Every one of you that I do not cut off from serving at my altar I will spare only to destroy your sight and sap your strength, and all your descendants will die in the prime of life.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 4:7 - the Philistines were afraid. “A god has[fn] come into the camp,” they said. “Oh no! Nothing like this has happened before.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 4:8 - We're doomed! Who will deliver us from the hand of these mighty gods? They are the gods who struck the Egyptians with all kinds of plagues in the wilderness.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 4:13 - When he arrived, there was Eli sitting on his chair by the side of the road, watching, because his heart feared for the ark of God. When the man entered the town and told what had happened, the whole town sent up a cry.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 5:11 - So they called together all the rulers of the Philistines and said, “Send the ark of the god of Israel away; let it go back to its own place, or it[fn] will kill us and our people.” For death had filled the city with panic; God's hand was very heavy on it.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 6:3 - They answered, “If you return the ark of the god of Israel, do not send it back to him without a gift; by all means send a guilt offering to him. Then you will be healed, and you will know why his hand has not been lifted from you.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 6:5 - Make models of the tumors and of the rats that are destroying the country, and give glory to Israel's god. Perhaps he will lift his hand from you and your gods and your land.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 9:8 - The servant answered him again. “Look,” he said, “I have a quarter of a shekel[fn] of silver. I will give it to the man of God so that he will tell us what way to take.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 9:10 - “Good,” Saul said to his servant. “Come, let's go.” So they set out for the town where the man of God was.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 9:11 - As they were going up the hill to the town, they met some young women coming out to draw water, and they asked them, “Is the seer here?”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:24 - He stripped off his garments, and he too prophesied in Samuel's presence. He lay naked all that day and all that night. This is why people say, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:11 - See, my father, look at this piece of your robe in my hand! I cut off the corner of your robe but did not kill you.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:25 - Then Saul said to David, “May you be blessed, David my son; you will do great things and surely triumph.” So David went on his way, and Saul returned home.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 27:6 - So on that day Achish gave him Ziklag, and it has belonged to the kings of Judah ever since.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 27:9 - Whenever David attacked an area, he did not leave a man or woman alive, but took sheep and cattle, donkeys and camels, and clothes. Then he returned to Achish.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:5 - When Saul saw the Philistine army, he was afraid; terror filled his heart.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:8 - So Saul disguised himself, putting on other clothes, and at night he and two men went to the woman. “Consult a spirit for me,” he said, “and bring up for me the one I name.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:9 - But the woman said to him, “Surely you know what Saul has done. He has cut off the mediums and spiritists from the land. Why have you set a trap for my life to bring about my death?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:14 - “What does he look like?” he asked. “An old man wearing a robe is coming up,” she said. Then Saul knew it was Samuel, and he bowed down and prostrated himself with his face to the ground.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:17 - The LORD has done what he predicted through me. The LORD has torn the kingdom out of your hands and given it to one of your neighbors—to David.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:19 - The LORD will deliver both Israel and you into the hands of the Philistines, and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. The LORD will also give the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:20 - Immediately Saul fell full length on the ground, filled with fear because of Samuel's words. His strength was gone, for he had eaten nothing all that day and all that night.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:25 - Then she set it before Saul and his men, and they ate. That same night they got up and left.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:1 - David and his men reached Ziklag on the third day. Now the Amalekites had raided the Negev and Ziklag. They had attacked Ziklag and burned it,

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:3 - When David and his men reached Ziklag, they found it destroyed by fire and their wives and sons and daughters taken captive.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:4 - So David and his men wept aloud until they had no strength left to weep.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:22 - But all the evil men and troublemakers among David's followers said, “Because they did not go out with us, we will not share with them the plunder we recovered. However, each man may take his wife and children and go.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:24 - Who will listen to what you say? The share of the man who stayed with the supplies is to be the same as that of him who went down to the battle. All will share alike.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 31:4 - Saul said to his armor-bearer, “Draw your sword and run me through, or these uncircumcised fellows will come and run me through and abuse me.” But his armor-bearer was terrified and would not do it; so Saul took his own sword and fell on it.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 31:12 - all their valiant men marched through the night to Beth Shan. They took down the bodies of Saul and his sons from the wall of Beth Shan and went to Jabesh, where they burned them.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 31:13 - Then they took their bones and buried them under a tamarisk tree at Jabesh, and they fasted seven days.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:2 - On the third day a man arrived from Saul's camp with his clothes torn and dust on his head. When he came to David, he fell to the ground to pay him honor.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:10 - “So I stood beside him and killed him, because I knew that after he had fallen he could not survive. And I took the crown that was on his head and the band on his arm and have brought them here to my lord.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:16 - For David had said to him, “Your blood be on your own head. Your own mouth testified against you when you said, ‘I killed the LORD's anointed.' ”

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:13 - Joab son of Zeruiah and David's men went out and met them at the pool of Gibeon. One group sat down on one side of the pool and one group on the other side.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:16 - Then each man grabbed his opponent by the head and thrust his dagger into his opponent's side, and they fell down together. So that place in Gibeon was called Helkath Hazzurim.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:21 - Then Abner said to him, “Turn aside to the right or to the left; take on one of the young men and strip him of his weapons.” But Asahel would not stop chasing him.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:22 - Again Abner warned Asahel, “Stop chasing me! Why should I strike you down? How could I look your brother Joab in the face?”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:23 - But Asahel refused to give up the pursuit; so Abner thrust the butt of his spear into Asahel's stomach, and the spear came out through his back. He fell there and died on the spot. And every man stopped when he came to the place where Asahel had fallen and died.

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:13 - “Good,” said David. “I will make an agreement with you. But I demand one thing of you: Do not come into my presence unless you bring Michal daughter of Saul when you come to see me.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:14 - Then David sent messengers to Ish-Bosheth son of Saul, demanding, “Give me my wife Michal, whom I betrothed to myself for the price of a hundred Philistine foreskins.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:25 - You know Abner son of Ner; he came to deceive you and observe your movements and find out everything you are doing.”

Unchecked Copy BoxEze 46:2 - The prince is to enter from the outside through the portico of the gateway and stand by the gatepost.

Unchecked Copy BoxEze 46:8 - When the prince enters, he is to go in through the portico of the gateway, and he is to come out the same way.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 46:9 - “ ‘When the people of the land come before the LORD at the appointed festivals, whoever enters by the north gate to worship is to go out the south gate; and whoever enters by the south gate is to go out the north gate.

Unchecked Copy BoxEze 46:20 - He said to me, “This is the place where the priests are to cook the guilt offering and the sin offering[fn] and bake the grain offering, to avoid bringing them into the outer court and consecrating the people.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 46:21 - He then brought me to the outer court and led me around to its four corners, and I saw in each corner another court.
