Unchecked Copy BoxGen 23:2 - Then she died in Kiriath Arba (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan. Abraham went to mourn for Sarah and to weep for her.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 23:5 - The sons of Heth answered Abraham,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 23:6 - "Listen, sir, you are a mighty prince among us! You may bury your dead in the choicest of our tombs. None of us will refuse you his tomb to prevent you from burying your dead."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 23:7 - Abraham got up and bowed down to the local people, the sons of Heth.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 23:10 - (Now Ephron was sitting among the sons of Heth.) Ephron the Hethite replied to Abraham in the hearing of the sons of Heth - before all who entered the gate of his city -
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 23:14 - Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 23:15 - "Hear me, my lord. The land is worth 400 pieces of silver, but what is that between me and you? So bury your dead."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:5 - The servant asked him, "What if the woman is not willing to come back with me to this land? Must I then take your son back to the land from which you came?"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:6 - "Be careful never to take my son back there!" Abraham told him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:8 - But if the woman is not willing to come back with you, you will be free from this oath of mine. But you must not take my son back there!"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:13 - Here I am, standing by the spring, and the daughters of the people who live in the town are coming out to draw water.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:15 - Before he had finished praying, there came Rebekah with her water jug on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel son of Milcah (Milcah was the wife of Abraham's brother Nahor).
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:16 - Now the young woman was very beautiful. She was a virgin; no man had ever had sexual relations with her. She went down to the spring, filled her jug, and came back up.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:17 - Abraham's servant ran to meet her and said, "Please give me a sip of water from your jug."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:18 - "Drink, my lord," she replied, and quickly lowering her jug to her hands, she gave him a drink.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:21 - Silently the man watched her with interest to determine if the LORD had made his journey successful or not.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:22 - After the camels had finished drinking, the man took out a gold nose ring weighing a beka and two gold bracelets weighing ten shekels and gave them to her.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:29 - (Now Rebekah had a brother named Laban.) Laban rushed out to meet the man at the spring.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:31 - Laban said to him, "Come, you who are blessed by the LORD! Why are you standing out here when I have prepared the house and a place for the camels?"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:32 - So Abraham's servant went to the house and unloaded the camels. Straw and feed were given to the camels, and water was provided so that he and the men who were with him could wash their feet.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:35 - "The LORD has richly blessed my master and he has become very wealthy. The Lord has given him sheep and cattle, silver and gold, male and female servants, and camels and donkeys.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:39 - But I said to my master, 'What if the woman does not want to go with me?'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:45 - "Before I finished praying in my heart, along came Rebekah with her water jug on her shoulder! She went down to the spring and drew water. So I said to her, 'Please give me a drink.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:47 - Then I asked her, 'Whose daughter are you?' She replied, 'The daughter of Bethuel the son of Nahor, whom Milcah bore to Nahor.' I put the ring in her nose and the bracelets on her wrists.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:49 - Now, if you will show faithful love to my master, tell me. But if not, tell me as well, so that I may go on my way."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:50 - Then Laban and Bethuel replied, "This is the LORD's doing. Our wishes are of no concern.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:52 - When Abraham's servant heard their words, he bowed down to the ground before the LORD.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:55 - But Rebekah's brother and her mother replied, "Let the girl stay with us a few more days, perhaps ten. Then she can go."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:56 - But he said to them, "Don't detain me - the LORD has granted me success on my journey. Let me leave now so I may return to my master."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:57 - Then they said, "We'll call the girl and find out what she wants to do."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:58 - So they called Rebekah and asked her, "Do you want to go with this man?" She replied, "I want to go."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:61 - Then Rebekah and her female servants mounted the camels and rode away with the man. So Abraham's servant took Rebekah and left.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:62 - Now Isaac came from Beer Lahai Roi, for he was living in the Negev.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:65 - and asked Abraham's servant, "Who is that man walking in the field toward us?" "That is my master," the servant replied. So she took her veil and covered herself.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:67 - Then Isaac brought Rebekah into his mother Sarah's tent. He took her as his wife and loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:1 - Abraham had taken another wife, named Keturah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:2 - She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:3 - Jokshan became the father of Sheba and Dedan. The descendants of Dedan were the Asshurites, Letushites, and Leummites.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:4 - The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were descendants of Keturah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:5 - Everything he owned Abraham left to his son Isaac.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:7 - Abraham lived a total of 175 years.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:11 - After Abraham's death, God blessed his son Isaac. Isaac lived near Beer Lahai Roi.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:12 - This is the account of Abraham's son Ishmael, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's servant, bore to Abraham.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:18 - His descendants settled from Havilah to Shur, which runs next to Egypt all the way to Asshur. They settled away from all their relatives.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:20 - When Isaac was forty years old, he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan Aram and sister of Laban the Aramean.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:21 - Isaac prayed to the LORD on behalf of his wife because she was childless. The LORD answered his prayer, and his wife Rebekah became pregnant.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:22 - But the children struggled inside her, and she said, "If it is going to be like this, I'm not so sure I want to be pregnant!" So she asked the LORD,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:25 - The first came out reddish all over, like a hairy garment, so they named him Esau.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:26 - When his brother came out with his hand clutching Esau's heel, they named him Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when they were born.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:27 - When the boys grew up, Esau became a skilled hunter, a man of the open fields, but Jacob was an even-tempered man, living in tents.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:28 - Isaac loved Esau because he had a taste for fresh game, but Rebekah loved Jacob.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:29 - Now Jacob cooked some stew, and when Esau came in from the open fields, he was famished.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:31 - But Jacob replied, "First sell me your birthright."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:32 - "Look," said Esau, "I'm about to die! What use is the birthright to me?"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:33 - But Jacob said, "Swear an oath to me now." So Esau swore an oath to him and sold his birthright to Jacob.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:34 - Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and lentil stew; Esau ate and drank, then got up and went out. So Esau despised his birthright.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:1 - There was a famine in the land, subsequent to the earlier famine that occurred in the days of Abraham. Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines at Gerar.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:2 - The LORD appeared to Isaac and said, "Do not go down to Egypt; settle down in the land that I will point out to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:7 - When the men of that place asked him about his wife, he replied, "She is my sister." He was afraid to say, "She is my wife," for he thought to himself, "The men of this place will kill me to get Rebekah because she is very beautiful."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:8 - After Isaac had been there a long time, Abimelech king of the Philistines happened to look out a window and observed Isaac caressing his wife Rebekah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:9 - So Abimelech summoned Isaac and said, "She is really your wife! Why did you say, 'She is my sister'?" Isaac replied, "Because I thought someone might kill me to get her."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:10 - Then Abimelech exclaimed, "What in the world have you done to us? One of the men might easily have had sexual relations with your wife, and you would have brought guilt on us!"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:11 - So Abimelech commanded all the people, "Whoever touches this man or his wife will surely be put to death."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:12 - When Isaac planted in that land, he reaped in the same year a hundred times what he had sown, because the LORD blessed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:14 - He had so many sheep and cattle and such a great household of servants that the Philistines became jealous of him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:16 - Then Abimelech said to Isaac, "Leave us and go elsewhere, for you have become much more powerful than we are."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:21 - His servants dug another well, but they quarreled over it too, so Isaac named it Sitnah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:22 - Then he moved away from there and dug another well. They did not quarrel over it, so Isaac named it Rehoboth, saying, "For now the LORD has made room for us, and we will prosper in the land."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:23 - From there Isaac went up to Beer Sheba.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:25 - Then Isaac built an altar there and worshiped the LORD. He pitched his tent there, and his servants dug a well.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:27 - Isaac asked them, "Why have you come to me? You hate me and sent me away from you."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:32 - That day Isaac's servants came and told him about the well they had dug. "We've found water," they reported.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:34 - When Esau was forty years old, he married Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, as well as Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:1 - When Isaac was old and his eyes were so weak that he was almost blind, he called his older son Esau and said to him, "My son!" "Here I am!" Esau replied.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:5 - Now Rebekah had been listening while Isaac spoke to his son Esau. When Esau went out to the open fields to hunt down some wild game and bring it back,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:6 - Rebekah said to her son Jacob, "Look, I overheard your father tell your brother Esau,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:11 - "But Esau my brother is a hairy man," Jacob protested to his mother Rebekah, "and I have smooth skin!
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:13 - So his mother told him, "Any curse against you will fall on me, my son! Just obey me! Go and get them for me!"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:14 - So he went and got the goats and brought them to his mother. She prepared some tasty food, just the way his father loved it.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:18 - He went to his father and said, "My father!" Isaac replied, "Here I am. Which are you, my son?"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:20 - But Isaac asked his son, "How in the world did you find it so quickly, my son?" "Because the LORD your God brought it to me," he replied.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:21 - Then Isaac said to Jacob, "Come closer so I can touch you, my son, and know for certain if you really are my son Esau."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:22 - So Jacob went over to his father Isaac, who felt him and said, "The voice is Jacob's, but the hands are Esau's."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:24 - Then he asked, "Are you really my son Esau?" "I am," Jacob replied.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:29 - May peoples serve you and nations bow down to you. You will be lord over your brothers, and the sons of your mother will bow down to you. May those who curse you be cursed, and those who bless you be blessed."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:32 - His father Isaac asked, "Who are you?" "I am your firstborn son," he replied, "Esau!"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:33 - Isaac began to shake violently and asked, "Then who else hunted game and brought it to me? I ate all of it just before you arrived, and I blessed him. He will indeed be blessed!"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:34 - When Esau heard his father's words, he wailed loudly and bitterly. He said to his father, "Bless me too, my father!"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:35 - But Isaac replied, "Your brother came in here deceitfully and took away your blessing."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:37 - Isaac replied to Esau, "Look! I have made him lord over you. I have made all his relatives his servants and provided him with grain and new wine. What is left that I can do for you, my son?"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:38 - Esau said to his father, "Do you have only that one blessing, my father? Bless me too!" Then Esau wept loudly.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:39 - So his father Isaac said to him, "Indeed, your home will be away from the richness of the earth, and away from the dew of the sky above.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:40 - You will live by your sword but you will serve your brother. When you grow restless, you will tear off his yoke from your neck."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:41 - So Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing his father had given to his brother. Esau said privately, "The time of mourning for my father is near; then I will kill my brother Jacob!"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:42 - When Rebekah heard what her older son Esau had said, she quickly summoned her younger son Jacob and told him, "Look, your brother Esau is planning to get revenge by killing you.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:46 - Then Rebekah said to Isaac, "I am deeply depressed because of these daughters of Heth. If Jacob were to marry one of these daughters of Heth who live in this land, I would want to die!"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:1 - So Isaac called for Jacob and blessed him. Then he commanded him, "You must not marry a Canaanite woman!
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:3 - May the sovereign God bless you! May he make you fruitful and give you a multitude of descendants! Then you will become a large nation.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:5 - So Isaac sent Jacob on his way, and he went to Paddan Aram, to Laban son of Bethuel the Aramean and brother of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:6 - Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him off to Paddan Aram to find a wife there. As he blessed him, Isaac commanded him, "You must not marry a Canaanite woman."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:13 - and the LORD stood at its top. He said, "I am the LORD, the God of your grandfather Abraham and the God of your father Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the ground you are lying on.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:16 - Then Jacob woke up and thought, "Surely the LORD is in this place, but I did not realize it!"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:1 - So Jacob moved on and came to the land of the eastern people.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:2 - He saw in the field a well with three flocks of sheep lying beside it, because the flocks were watered from that well. Now a large stone covered the mouth of the well.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:4 - Jacob asked them, "My brothers, where are you from?" They replied, "We're from Haran."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:5 - So he said to them, "Do you know Laban, the grandson of Nahor?" "We know him," they said.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:6 - "Is he well?" Jacob asked. They replied, "He is well. Now look, here comes his daughter Rachel with the sheep."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:8 - "We can't," they said, "until all the flocks are gathered and the stone is rolled off the mouth of the well. Then we water the sheep."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:10 - When Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of his uncle Laban, and the sheep of his uncle Laban, he went over and rolled the stone off the mouth of the well and watered the sheep of his uncle Laban.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:13 - When Laban heard this news about Jacob, his sister's son, he rushed out to meet him. He embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his house. Jacob told Laban how he was related to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:15 - Then Laban said to Jacob, "Should you work for me for nothing because you are my relative? Tell me what your wages should be."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:16 - (Now Laban had two daughters; the older one was named Leah, and the younger one Rachel.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:17 - Leah's eyes were tender, but Rachel had a lovely figure and beautiful appearance.)
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:18 - Since Jacob had fallen in love with Rachel, he said, "I'll serve you seven years in exchange for your younger daughter Rachel."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:19 - Laban replied, "I'd rather give her to you than to another man. Stay with me."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:21 - Finally Jacob said to Laban, "Give me my wife, for my time of service is up. I want to have marital relations with her."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:22 - So Laban invited all the people of that place and prepared a feast.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:24 - (Laban gave his female servant Zilpah to his daughter Leah to be her servant.)
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:25 - In the morning Jacob discovered it was Leah! So Jacob said to Laban, "What in the world have you done to me! Didn't I work for you in exchange for Rachel? Why have you tricked me?"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:26 - "It is not our custom here," Laban replied, "to give the younger daughter in marriage before the firstborn.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:28 - Jacob did as Laban said. When Jacob completed Leah's bridal week, Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to be his wife.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:29 - (Laban gave his female servant Bilhah to his daughter Rachel to be her servant.)
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:30 - Jacob had marital relations with Rachel as well. He loved Rachel more than Leah, so he worked for Laban for seven more years.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:31 - When the LORD saw that Leah was unloved, he enabled her to become pregnant while Rachel remained childless.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:32 - So Leah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Reuben, for she said, "The LORD has looked with pity on my oppressed condition. Surely my husband will love me now."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:33 - She became pregnant again and had another son. She said, "Because the LORD heard that I was unloved, he gave me this one too." So she named him Simeon.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:1 - When Rachel saw that she could not give Jacob children, she became jealous of her sister. She said to Jacob, "Give me children or I'll die!"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:2 - Jacob became furious with Rachel and exclaimed, "Am I in the place of God, who has kept you from having children?"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:3 - She replied, "Here is my servant Bilhah! Have sexual relations with her so that she can bear children for me and I can have a family through her."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:4 - So Rachel gave him her servant Bilhah as a wife, and Jacob had marital relations with her.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:9 - When Leah saw that she had stopped having children, she gave her servant Zilpah to Jacob as a wife.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:10 - Soon Leah's servant Zilpah gave Jacob a son.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:14 - At the time of the wheat harvest Reuben went out and found some mandrake plants in a field and brought them to his mother Leah. Rachel said to Leah, "Give me some of your son's mandrakes."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:15 - But Leah replied, "Wasn't it enough that you've taken away my husband? Would you take away my son's mandrakes too?" "All right," Rachel said, "he may sleep with you tonight in exchange for your son's mandrakes."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:16 - When Jacob came in from the fields that evening, Leah went out to meet him and said, "You must sleep with me because I have paid for your services with my son's mandrakes." So he had marital relations with her that night.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:22 - Then God took note of Rachel. He paid attention to her and enabled her to become pregnant.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:23 - She became pregnant and gave birth to a son. Then she said, "God has taken away my shame."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:25 - After Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, "Send me on my way so that I can go home to my own country.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:27 - But Laban said to him, "If I have found favor in your sight, please stay here, for I have learned by divination that the LORD has blessed me on account of you."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:29 - "You know how I have worked for you," Jacob replied, "and how well your livestock have fared under my care.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:31 - So Laban asked, "What should I give you?" "You don't need to give me a thing," Jacob replied, "but if you agree to this one condition, I will continue to care for your flocks and protect them:
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:34 - "Agreed!" said Laban, "It will be as you say."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:36 - Then he separated them from Jacob by a three-day journey, while Jacob was taking care of the rest of Laban's flocks.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:37 - But Jacob took fresh-cut branches from poplar, almond, and plane trees. He made white streaks by peeling them, making the white inner wood in the branches visible.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:40 - Jacob removed these lambs, but he made the rest of the flock face the streaked and completely dark-colored animals in Laban's flock. So he made separate flocks for himself and did not mix them with Laban's flocks.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:41 - When the stronger females were in heat, Jacob would set up the branches in the troughs in front of the flock, so they would mate near the branches.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:42 - But if the animals were weaker, he did not set the branches there. So the weaker animals ended up belonging to Laban and the stronger animals to Jacob.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:1 - Jacob heard that Laban's sons were complaining, "Jacob has taken everything that belonged to our father! He has gotten rich at our father's expense!"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:3 - The LORD said to Jacob, "Return to the land of your fathers and to your relatives. I will be with you."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:4 - So Jacob sent a message for Rachel and Leah to come to the field where his flocks were.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:5 - There he said to them, "I can tell that your father's attitude toward me has changed, but the God of my father has been with me.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:6 - You know that I've worked for your father as hard as I could,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:7 - but your father has humiliated me and changed my wages ten times. But God has not permitted him to do me any harm.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:8 - If he said, 'The speckled animals will be your wage,' then the entire flock gave birth to speckled offspring. But if he said, 'The streaked animals will be your wage,' then the entire flock gave birth to streaked offspring.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:11 - In the dream the angel of God said to me, 'Jacob!' 'Here I am!' I replied.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:17 - So Jacob immediately put his children and his wives on the camels.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:19 - While Laban had gone to shear his sheep, Rachel stole the household idols that belonged to her father.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:20 - Jacob also deceived Laban the Aramean by not telling him that he was leaving.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:22 - Three days later Laban discovered Jacob had left.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:24 - But God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream at night and warned him, "Be careful that you neither bless nor curse Jacob."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:25 - Laban overtook Jacob, and when Jacob pitched his tent in the hill country of Gilead, Laban and his relatives set up camp there too.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:26 - "What have you done?" Laban demanded of Jacob. "You've deceived me and carried away my daughters as if they were captives of war!
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:28 - You didn't even allow me to kiss my daughters and my grandchildren good-bye. You have acted foolishly!
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:29 - I have the power to do you harm, but the God of your father told me last night, 'Be careful that you neither bless nor curse Jacob.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:31 - "I left secretly because I was afraid!" Jacob replied to Laban. "I thought you might take your daughters away from me by force.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:32 - Whoever has taken your gods will be put to death! In the presence of our relatives identify whatever is yours and take it." (Now Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen them.)
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:33 - So Laban entered Jacob's tent, and Leah's tent, and the tent of the two female servants, but he did not find the idols. Then he left Leah's tent and entered Rachel's.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:34 - (Now Rachel had taken the idols and put them inside her camel's saddle and sat on them.) Laban searched the whole tent, but did not find them.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:35 - Rachel said to her father, "Don't be angry, my lord. I cannot stand up in your presence because I am having my period." So he searched thoroughly, but did not find the idols.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:36 - Jacob became angry and argued with Laban. "What did I do wrong?" he demanded of Laban. "What sin of mine prompted you to chase after me in hot pursuit?
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:43 - Laban replied to Jacob, "These women are my daughters, these children are my grandchildren, and these flocks are my flocks. All that you see belongs to me. But how can I harm these daughters of mine today or the children to whom they have given birth?
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:44 - So now, come, let's make a formal agreement, you and I, and it will be proof that we have made peace."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:45 - So Jacob took a stone and set it up as a memorial pillar.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:46 - Then he said to his relatives, "Gather stones." So they brought stones and put them in a pile. They ate there by the pile of stones.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:47 - Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha, but Jacob called it Galeed.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:48 - Laban said, "This pile of stones is a witness of our agreement today." That is why it was called Galeed.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:55 - (32:1) Early in the morning Laban kissed his grandchildren and his daughters goodbye and blessed them. Then Laban left and returned home.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:2 - When Jacob saw them, he exclaimed, "This is the camp of God!" So he named that place Mahanaim.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:3 - Jacob sent messengers on ahead to his brother Esau in the land of Seir, the region of Edom.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:7 - Jacob was very afraid and upset. So he divided the people who were with him into two camps, as well as the flocks, herds, and camels.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:9 - Then Jacob prayed, "O God of my father Abraham, God of my father Isaac, O LORD, you said to me, 'Return to your land and to your relatives and I will make you prosper.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:10 - I am not worthy of all the faithful love you have shown your servant. With only my walking stick I crossed the Jordan, but now I have become two camps.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:12 - But you said, 'I will certainly make you prosper and will make your descendants like the sand on the seashore, too numerous to count.'"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:16 - He entrusted them to his servants, who divided them into herds. He told his servants, "Pass over before me, and keep some distance between one herd and the next."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:21 - So the gifts were sent on ahead of him while he spent that night in the camp.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:22 - During the night Jacob quickly took his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven sons and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:24 - So Jacob was left alone. Then a man wrestled with him until daybreak.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:25 - When the man saw that he could not defeat Jacob, he struck the socket of his hip so the socket of Jacob's hip was dislocated while he wrestled with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:26 - Then the man said, "Let me go, for the dawn is breaking." "I will not let you go," Jacob replied, "unless you bless me."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:27 - The man asked him, "What is your name?" He answered, "Jacob."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:28 - "No longer will your name be Jacob," the man told him, "but Israel, because you have fought with God and with men and have prevailed."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:29 - Then Jacob asked, "Please tell me your name." "Why do you ask my name?" the man replied. Then he blessed Jacob there.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:31 - The sun rose over him as he crossed over Penuel, but he was limping because of his hip.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:1 - Jacob looked up and saw that Esau was coming along with four hundred men. So he divided the children among Leah, Rachel, and the two female servants.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:3 - But Jacob himself went on ahead of them, and he bowed toward the ground seven times as he approached his brother.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:5 - When Esau looked up and saw the women and the children, he asked, "Who are these people with you?" Jacob replied, "The children whom God has graciously given your servant."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:8 - Esau then asked, "What did you intend by sending all these herds to meet me?" Jacob replied, "To find favor in your sight, my lord."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:9 - But Esau said, "I have plenty, my brother. Keep what belongs to you."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:10 - "No, please take them," Jacob said. "If I have found favor in your sight, accept my gift from my hand. Now that I have seen your face and you have accepted me, it is as if I have seen the face of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:13 - But Jacob said to him, "My lord knows that the children are young, and that I have to look after the sheep and cattle that are nursing their young. If they are driven too hard for even a single day, all the animals will die.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:14 - Let my lord go on ahead of his servant. I will travel more slowly, at the pace of the herds and the children, until I come to my lord at Seir."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:15 - So Esau said, "Let me leave some of my men with you." "Why do that?" Jacob replied. "My lord has already been kind enough to me."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:16 - So that same day Esau made his way back to Seir.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:1 - Now Dinah, Leah's daughter whom she bore to Jacob, went to meet the young women of the land.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:4 - Shechem said to his father Hamor, "Acquire this young girl as my wife."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:5 - When Jacob heard that Shechem had violated his daughter Dinah, his sons were with the livestock in the field. So Jacob remained silent until they came in.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:6 - Then Shechem's father Hamor went to speak with Jacob about Dinah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:7 - Now Jacob's sons had come in from the field when they heard the news. They were offended and very angry because Shechem had disgraced Israel by sexually assaulting Jacob's daughter, a crime that should not be committed.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:11 - Then Shechem said to Dinah's father and brothers, "Let me find favor in your sight, and whatever you require of me I'll give.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:13 - Jacob's sons answered Shechem and his father Hamor deceitfully when they spoke because Shechem had violated their sister Dinah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:14 - They said to them, "We cannot give our sister to a man who is not circumcised, for it would be a disgrace to us.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:17 - But if you do not agree to our terms by being circumcised, then we will take our sister and depart."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:19 - The young man did not delay in doing what they asked because he wanted Jacob's daughter Dinah badly. (Now he was more important than anyone in his father's household.)
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:20 - So Hamor and his son Shechem went to the gate of their city and spoke to the men of their city,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:21 - "These men are at peace with us. So let them live in the land and travel freely in it, for the land is wide enough for them. We will take their daughters for wives, and we will give them our daughters to marry.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:25 - In three days, when they were still in pain, two of Jacob's sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, each took his sword and went to the unsuspecting city and slaughtered every male.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:27 - Jacob's sons killed them and looted the city because their sister had been violated.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:30 - Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, "You have brought ruin on me by making me a foul odor among the inhabitants of the land - among the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I am few in number; they will join forces against me and attack me, and both I and my family will be destroyed!"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:31 - But Simeon and Levi replied, "Should he treat our sister like a common prostitute?"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:1 - Then God said to Jacob, "Go up at once to Bethel and live there. Make an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:2 - So Jacob told his household and all who were with him, "Get rid of the foreign gods you have among you. Purify yourselves and change your clothes.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:6 - Jacob and all those who were with him arrived at Luz (that is, Bethel) in the land of Canaan.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:8 - (Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died and was buried under the oak below Bethel; thus it was named Oak of Weeping.)
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:9 - God appeared to Jacob again after he returned from Paddan Aram and blessed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:11 - Then God said to him, "I am the sovereign God. Be fruitful and multiply! A nation - even a company of nations - will descend from you; kings will be among your descendants!
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:13 - Then God went up from the place where he spoke with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:16 - They traveled on from Bethel, and when Ephrath was still some distance away, Rachel went into labor - and her labor was hard.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:17 - When her labor was at its hardest, the midwife said to her, "Don't be afraid, for you are having another son."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:18 - With her dying breath, she named him Ben-Oni. But his father called him Benjamin instead.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:19 - So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:22 - While Israel was living in that land, Reuben had sexual relations with Bilhah, his father's concubine, and Israel heard about it. Jacob had twelve sons:
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:24 - The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:25 - The sons of Bilhah, Rachel's servant, were Dan and Naphtali.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:26 - The sons of Zilpah, Leah's servant, were Gad and Asher. These were the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan Aram.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:27 - So Jacob came back to his father Isaac in Mamre, to Kiriath Arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had stayed.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:28 - Isaac lived to be 180 years old.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:1 - What follows is the account of Esau (also known as Edom).
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:2 - Esau took his wives from the Canaanites: Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah the daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:4 - Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau, Basemath bore Reuel,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:6 - Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, all the people in his household, his livestock, his animals, and all his possessions which he had acquired in the land of Canaan and went to a land some distance away from Jacob his brother
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:8 - So Esau (also known as Edom) lived in the hill country of Seir.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:9 - This is the account of Esau, the father of the Edomites, in the hill country of Seir.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:11 - The sons of Eliphaz were: Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:12 - Timna, a concubine of Esau's son Eliphaz, bore Amalek to Eliphaz. These were the sons of Esau's wife Adah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:13 - These were the sons of Reuel: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. These were the sons of Esau's wife Basemath.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:14 - These were the sons of Esau's wife Oholibamah the daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon: She bore Jeush, Jalam, and Korah to Esau.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:18 - These were the sons of Esau's wife Oholibamah: chief Jeush, chief Jalam, chief Korah. These were the chiefs descended from Esau's wife Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:20 - These were the sons of Seir the Horite, who were living in the land: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:22 - The sons of Lotan were Hori and Homam; Lotan's sister was Timna.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:23 - These were the sons of Shobal: Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho, and Onam.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:25 - These were the children of Anah: Dishon and Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:26 - These were the sons of Dishon: Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran, and Keran.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:27 - These were the sons of Ezer: Bilhan, Zaavan, and Akan.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:28 - These were the sons of Dishan: Uz and Aran.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:33 - When Bela died, Jobab the son of Zerah from Bozrah reigned in his place.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:34 - When Jobab died, Husham from the land of the Temanites reigned in his place.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:35 - When Husham died, Hadad the son of Bedad, who defeated the Midianites in the land of Moab, reigned in his place; the name of his city was Avith.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:36 - When Hadad died, Samlah from Masrekah reigned in his place.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:37 - When Samlah died, Shaul from Rehoboth by the River reigned in his place.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:38 - When Shaul died, Baal-Hanan the son of Achbor reigned in his place.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:39 - When Baal-Hanan the son of Achbor died, Hadad reigned in his place; the name of his city was Pau. His wife's name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Me-Zahab.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:1 - But Jacob lived in the land where his father had stayed, in the land of Canaan.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:2 - This is the account of Jacob. Joseph, his seventeen-year-old son, was taking care of the flocks with his brothers. Now he was a youngster working with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father's wives. Joseph brought back a bad report about them to their father.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:3 - Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his sons because he was a son born to him late in life, and he made a special tunic for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:4 - When Joseph's brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated Joseph and were not able to speak to him kindly.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:5 - Joseph had a dream, and when he told his brothers about it, they hated him even more.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:7 - There we were, binding sheaves of grain in the middle of the field. Suddenly my sheaf rose up and stood upright and your sheaves surrounded my sheaf and bowed down to it!"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:8 - Then his brothers asked him, "Do you really think you will rule over us or have dominion over us?" They hated him even more because of his dream and because of what he said.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:9 - Then he had another dream, and told it to his brothers. "Look," he said. "I had another dream. The sun, the moon, and eleven stars were bowing down to me."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:11 - His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept in mind what Joseph said.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:12 - When his brothers had gone to graze their father's flocks near Shechem,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:13 - Israel said to Joseph, "Your brothers are grazing the flocks near Shechem. Come, I will send you to them." "I'm ready," Joseph replied.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:14 - So Jacob said to him, "Go now and check on the welfare of your brothers and of the flocks, and bring me word." So Jacob sent him from the valley of Hebron.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:15 - When Joseph reached Shechem, a man found him wandering in the field, so the man asked him, "What are you looking for?"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:16 - He replied, "I'm looking for my brothers. Please tell me where they are grazing their flocks."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:17 - The man said, "They left this area, for I heard them say, 'Let's go to Dothan.'" So Joseph went after his brothers and found them at Dothan.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:18 - Now Joseph's brothers saw him from a distance, and before he reached them, they plotted to kill him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:19 - They said to one another, "Here comes this master of dreams!
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:21 - When Reuben heard this, he rescued Joseph from their hands, saying, "Let's not take his life!"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:22 - Reuben continued, "Don't shed blood! Throw him into this cistern that is here in the wilderness, but don't lay a hand on him." (Reuben said this so he could rescue Joseph from them and take him back to his father.)
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:23 - When Joseph reached his brothers, they stripped him of his tunic, the special tunic that he wore.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:24 - Then they took him and threw him into the cistern. (Now the cistern was empty; there was no water in it.)
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:25 - When they sat down to eat their food, they looked up and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead. Their camels were carrying spices, balm, and myrrh down to Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:26 - Then Judah said to his brothers, "What profit is there if we kill our brother and cover up his blood?
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:27 - Come, let's sell him to the Ishmaelites, but let's not lay a hand on him, for after all, he is our brother, our own flesh." His brothers agreed.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:29 - Later Reuben returned to the cistern to find that Joseph was not in it! He tore his clothes,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:30 - returned to his brothers, and said, "The boy isn't there! And I, where can I go?"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:31 - So they took Joseph's tunic, killed a young goat, and dipped the tunic in the blood.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:34 - Then Jacob tore his clothes, put on sackcloth, and mourned for his son many days.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:35 - All his sons and daughters stood by him to console him, but he refused to be consoled. "No," he said, "I will go to the grave mourning my son." So Joseph's father wept for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:36 - Now in Egypt the Midianites sold Joseph to Potiphar, one of Pharaoh's officials, the captain of the guard.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:1 - At that time Judah left his brothers and stayed with an Adullamite man named Hirah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:5 - Then she had yet another son, whom she named Shelah. She gave birth to him in Kezib.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:7 - But Er, Judah's firstborn, was evil in the LORD's sight, so the LORD killed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:8 - Then Judah said to Onan, "Have sexual relations with your brother's wife and fulfill the duty of a brother-in-law to her so that you may raise up a descendant for your brother."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:9 - But Onan knew that the child would not be considered his. So whenever he had sexual relations with his brother's wife, he withdrew prematurely so as not to give his brother a descendant.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:10 - What he did was evil in the LORD's sight, so the LORD killed him too.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:11 - Then Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, "Live as a widow in your father's house until Shelah my son grows up." For he thought, "I don't want him to die like his brothers." So Tamar went and lived in her father's house.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:12 - After some time Judah's wife, the daughter of Shua, died. After Judah was consoled, he left for Timnah to visit his sheepshearers, along with his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:14 - So she removed her widow's clothes and covered herself with a veil. She wrapped herself and sat at the entrance to Enaim which is on the way to Timnah. (She did this because she saw that she had not been given to Shelah as a wife, even though he had now grown up.)
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:16 - He turned aside to her along the road and said, "Come on! I want to have sex with you." (He did not realize it was his daughter-in-law.) She asked, "What will you give me in exchange for having sex with you?"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:17 - He replied, "I'll send you a young goat from the flock." She asked, "Will you give me a pledge until you send it?"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:18 - He said, "What pledge should I give you?" She replied, "Your seal, your cord, and the staff that's in your hand." So he gave them to her and had sex with her. She became pregnant by him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:20 - Then Judah had his friend Hirah the Adullamite take a young goat to get back from the woman the items he had given in pledge, but Hirah could not find her.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:21 - He asked the men who were there, "Where is the cult prostitute who was at Enaim by the road?" But they replied, "There has been no cult prostitute here."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:23 - Judah said, "Let her keep the things for herself. Otherwise we will appear to be dishonest. I did indeed send this young goat, but you couldn't find her."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:24 - After three months Judah was told, "Your daughter-in-law Tamar has turned to prostitution, and as a result she has become pregnant." Judah said, "Bring her out and let her be burned!"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:25 - While they were bringing her out, she sent word to her father-in-law: "I am pregnant by the man to whom these belong." Then she said, "Identify the one to whom the seal, cord, and staff belong."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:26 - Judah recognized them and said, "She is more upright than I am, because I wouldn't give her to Shelah my son." He did not have sexual relations with her again.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:27 - When it was time for her to give birth, there were twins in her womb.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:28 - While she was giving birth, one child put out his hand, and the midwife took a scarlet thread and tied it on his hand, saying, "This one came out first."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:29 - But then he drew back his hand, and his brother came out before him. She said, "How you have broken out of the womb!" So he was named Perez.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:1 - Now Joseph had been brought down to Egypt. An Egyptian named Potiphar, an official of Pharaoh and the captain of the guard, purchased him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him there.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:3 - His master observed that the LORD was with him and that the LORD made everything he was doing successful.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:4 - So Joseph found favor in his sight and became his personal attendant. Potiphar appointed Joseph overseer of his household and put him in charge of everything he owned.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:5 - From the time Potiphar appointed him over his household and over all that he owned, the LORD blessed the Egyptian's household for Joseph's sake. The blessing of the LORD was on everything that he had, both in his house and in his fields.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:8 - But he refused, saying to his master's wife, "Look, my master does not give any thought to his household with me here, and everything that he owns he has put into my care.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:10 - Even though she continued to speak to Joseph day after day, he did not respond to her invitation to have sex with her.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:11 - One day he went into the house to do his work when none of the household servants were there in the house.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:15 - When he heard me raise my voice and scream, he left his outer garment beside me and ran outside."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:18 - but when I raised my voice and screamed, he left his outer garment and ran outside."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:19 - When his master heard his wife say, "This is the way your slave treated me," he became furious.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:1 - After these things happened, the cupbearer to the king of Egypt and the royal baker offended their master, the king of Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:4 - The captain of the guard appointed Joseph to be their attendant, and he served them. They spent some time in custody.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:6 - When Joseph came to them in the morning, he saw that they were looking depressed.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:8 - They told him, "We both had dreams, but there is no one to interpret them." Joseph responded, "Don't interpretations belong to God? Tell them to me."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:10 - On the vine there were three branches. As it budded, its blossoms opened and its clusters ripened into grapes.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:17 - In the top basket there were baked goods of every kind for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating them from the basket that was on my head."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:18 - Joseph replied, "This is its meaning: The three baskets represent three days.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:20 - On the third day it was Pharaoh's birthday, so he gave a feast for all his servants. He "lifted up" the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker in the midst of his servants.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:22 - but the chief baker he impaled, just as Joseph had predicted.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:23 - But the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph - he forgot him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:1 - At the end of two full years Pharaoh had a dream. As he was standing by the Nile,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:3 - Then seven bad-looking, thin cows were coming up after them from the Nile, and they stood beside the other cows at the edge of the river.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:4 - The bad-looking, thin cows ate the seven fine-looking, fat cows. Then Pharaoh woke up.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:6 - Then seven heads of grain, thin and burned by the east wind, were sprouting up after them.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:7 - The thin heads swallowed up the seven healthy and full heads. Then Pharaoh woke up and realized it was a dream.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:8 - In the morning he was troubled, so he called for all the diviner-priests of Egypt and all its wise men. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but no one could interpret them for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:12 - Now a young man, a Hebrew, a servant of the captain of the guards, was with us there. We told him our dreams, and he interpreted the meaning of each of our respective dreams for us.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:13 - It happened just as he had said to us - Pharaoh restored me to my office, but he impaled the baker."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:14 - Then Pharaoh summoned Joseph. So they brought him quickly out of the dungeon; he shaved himself, changed his clothes, and came before Pharaoh.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:15 - Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I had a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. But I have heard about you, that you can interpret dreams."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:16 - Joseph replied to Pharaoh, "It is not within my power, but God will speak concerning the welfare of Pharaoh."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:17 - Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "In my dream I was standing by the edge of the Nile.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:21 - When they had eaten them, no one would have known that they had done so, for they were just as bad-looking as before. Then I woke up.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:23 - Then seven heads of grain, withered and thin and burned with the east wind, were sprouting up after them.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:28 - This is just what I told Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:30 - But seven years of famine will occur after them, and all the abundance will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will devastate the land.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:32 - The dream was repeated to Pharaoh because the matter has been decreed by God, and God will make it happen soon.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:37 - This advice made sense to Pharaoh and all his officials.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:39 - So Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Because God has enabled you to know all this, there is no one as wise and discerning as you are!
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:41 - "See here," Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I place you in authority over all the land of Egypt."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:44 - Pharaoh also said to Joseph, "I am Pharaoh, but without your permission no one will move his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:46 - Now Joseph was 30 years old when he began serving Pharaoh king of Egypt. Joseph was commissioned by Pharaoh and was in charge of all the land of Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:50 - Two sons were born to Joseph before the famine came. Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, was their mother.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:51 - Joseph named the firstborn Manasseh, saying, "Certainly God has made me forget all my trouble and all my father's house."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:52 - He named the second child Ephraim, saying, "Certainly God has made me fruitful in the land of my suffering."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:53 - The seven years of abundance in the land of Egypt came to an end.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:54 - Then the seven years of famine began, just as Joseph had predicted. There was famine in all the other lands, but throughout the land of Egypt there was food.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:55 - When all the land of Egypt experienced the famine, the people cried out to Pharaoh for food. Pharaoh said to all the people of Egypt, "Go to Joseph and do whatever he tells you."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:56 - While the famine was over all the earth, Joseph opened the storehouses and sold grain to the Egyptians. The famine was severe throughout the land of Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:1 - When Jacob heard there was grain in Egypt, he said to his sons, "Why are you looking at each other?"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:3 - So ten of Joseph's brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:4 - But Jacob did not send Joseph's brother Benjamin with his brothers, for he said, "What if some accident happens to him?"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:5 - So Israel's sons came to buy grain among the other travelers, for the famine was severe in the land of Canaan.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:6 - Now Joseph was the ruler of the country, the one who sold grain to all the people of the country. Joseph's brothers came and bowed down before him with their faces to the ground.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:7 - When Joseph saw his brothers, he recognized them, but he pretended to be a stranger to them and spoke to them harshly. He asked, "Where do you come from?" They answered, "From the land of Canaan, to buy grain for food."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:8 - Joseph recognized his brothers, but they did not recognize him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:10 - But they exclaimed, "No, my lord! Your servants have come to buy grain for food!
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:12 - "No," he insisted, "but you have come to see if our land is vulnerable."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:13 - They replied, "Your servants are from a family of twelve brothers. We are the sons of one man in the land of Canaan. The youngest is with our father at this time, and one is no longer alive."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:14 - But Joseph told them, "It is just as I said to you: You are spies!
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:16 - One of you must go and get your brother, while the rest of you remain in prison. In this way your words may be tested to see if you are telling the truth. If not, then, as surely as Pharaoh lives, you are spies!"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:18 - On the third day Joseph said to them, "Do as I say and you will live, for I fear God.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:19 - If you are honest men, leave one of your brothers confined here in prison while the rest of you go and take grain back for your hungry families.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:20 - But you must bring your youngest brother to me. Then your words will be verified and you will not die." They did as he said.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:22 - Reuben said to them, "Didn't I say to you, 'Don't sin against the boy,' but you wouldn't listen? So now we must pay for shedding his blood!"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:23 - (Now they did not know that Joseph could understand them, for he was speaking through an interpreter.)
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:24 - He turned away from them and wept. When he turned around and spoke to them again, he had Simeon taken from them and tied up before their eyes.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:25 - Then Joseph gave orders to fill their bags with grain, to return each man's money to his sack, and to give them provisions for the journey. His orders were carried out.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:27 - When one of them opened his sack to get feed for his donkey at their resting place, he saw his money in the mouth of his sack.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:29 - They returned to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan and told him all the things that had happened to them, saying,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:31 - But we said to him, 'We are honest men; we are not spies!
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:32 - We are from a family of twelve brothers; we are the sons of one father. One is no longer alive, and the youngest is with our father at this time in the land of Canaan.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:33 - "Then the man, the lord of the land, said to us, 'This is how I will find out if you are honest men. Leave one of your brothers with me, and take grain for your hungry households and go.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:35 - When they were emptying their sacks, there was each man's bag of money in his sack! When they and their father saw the bags of money, they were afraid.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:36 - Their father Jacob said to them, "You are making me childless! Joseph is gone. Simeon is gone. And now you want to take Benjamin! Everything is against me."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:37 - Then Reuben said to his father, "You may put my two sons to death if I do not bring him back to you. Put him in my care and I will bring him back to you."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:38 - But Jacob replied, "My son will not go down there with you, for his brother is dead and he alone is left. If an accident happens to him on the journey you have to make, then you will bring down my gray hair in sorrow to the grave."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:1 - Now the famine was severe in the land.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:2 - When they finished eating the grain they had brought from Egypt, their father said to them, "Return, buy us a little more food."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:3 - But Judah said to him, "The man solemnly warned us, 'You will not see my face unless your brother is with you.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:5 - But if you will not send him, we won't go down there because the man said to us, 'You will not see my face unless your brother is with you.'"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:6 - Israel said, "Why did you bring this trouble on me by telling the man you had one more brother?"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:7 - They replied, "The man questioned us thoroughly about ourselves and our family, saying, 'Is your father still alive? Do you have another brother?' So we answered him in this way. How could we possibly know that he would say, 'Bring your brother down'?"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:8 - Then Judah said to his father Israel, "Send the boy with me and we will go immediately. Then we will live and not die - we and you and our little ones.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:9 - I myself pledge security for him; you may hold me liable. If I do not bring him back to you and place him here before you, I will bear the blame before you all my life.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:11 - Then their father Israel said to them, "If it must be so, then do this: Take some of the best products of the land in your bags, and take a gift down to the man - a little balm and a little honey, spices and myrrh, pistachios and almonds.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:14 - May the sovereign God grant you mercy before the man so that he may release your other brother and Benjamin! As for me, if I lose my children I lose them."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:15 - So the men took these gifts, and they took double the money with them, along with Benjamin. Then they hurried down to Egypt and stood before Joseph.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:16 - When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the servant who was over his household, "Bring the men to the house. Slaughter an animal and prepare it, for the men will eat with me at noon."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:17 - The man did just as Joseph said; he brought the men into Joseph's house.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:18 - But the men were afraid when they were brought to Joseph's house. They said, "We are being brought in because of the money that was returned in our sacks last time. He wants to capture us, make us slaves, and take our donkeys!"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:19 - So they approached the man who was in charge of Joseph's household and spoke to him at the entrance to the house.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:21 - But when we came to the place where we spent the night, we opened our sacks and each of us found his money - the full amount - in the mouth of his sack. So we have returned it.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:23 - "Everything is fine," the man in charge of Joseph's household told them. "Don't be afraid. Your God and the God of your father has given you treasure in your sacks. I had your money." Then he brought Simeon out to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:25 - They got their gifts ready for Joseph's arrival at noon, for they had heard that they were to have a meal there.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:26 - When Joseph came home, they presented him with the gifts they had brought inside, and they bowed down to the ground before him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:27 - He asked them how they were doing. Then he said, "Is your aging father well, the one you spoke about? Is he still alive?"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:28 - "Your servant our father is well," they replied. "He is still alive." They bowed down in humility.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:29 - When Joseph looked up and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, he said, "Is this your youngest brother, whom you told me about?" Then he said, "May God be gracious to you, my son."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:30 - Joseph hurried out, for he was overcome by affection for his brother and was at the point of tears. So he went to his room and wept there.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:33 - They sat before him, arranged by order of birth, beginning with the firstborn and ending with the youngest. The men looked at each other in astonishment.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:34 - He gave them portions of the food set before him, but the portion for Benjamin was five times greater than the portions for any of the others. They drank with Joseph until they all became drunk.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:2 - Then put my cup - the silver cup - in the mouth of the youngest one's sack, along with the money for his grain." He did as Joseph instructed.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:4 - They had not gone very far from the city when Joseph said to the servant who was over his household, "Pursue the men at once! When you overtake them, say to them, 'Why have you repaid good with evil?
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:5 - Doesn't my master drink from this cup and use it for divination? You have done wrong!'"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:6 - When the man overtook them, he spoke these words to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:7 - They answered him, "Why does my lord say such things? Far be it from your servants to do such a thing!
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:9 - If one of us has it, he will die, and the rest of us will become my lord's slaves!"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:10 - He replied, "You have suggested your own punishment! The one who has it will become my slave, but the rest of you will go free."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:12 - Then the man searched. He began with the oldest and finished with the youngest. The cup was found in Benjamin's sack!
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:14 - So Judah and his brothers came back to Joseph's house. He was still there, and they threw themselves to the ground before him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:15 - Joseph said to them, "What did you think you were doing? Don't you know that a man like me can find out things like this by divination?"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:16 - Judah replied, "What can we say to my lord? What can we speak? How can we clear ourselves? God has exposed the sin of your servants! We are now my lord's slaves, we and the one in whose possession the cup was found."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:17 - But Joseph said, "Far be it from me to do this! The man in whose hand the cup was found will become my slave, but the rest of you may go back to your father in peace."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:18 - Then Judah approached him and said, "My lord, please allow your servant to speak a word with you. Please do not get angry with your servant, for you are just like Pharaoh.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:20 - We said to my lord, 'We have an aged father, and there is a young boy who was born when our father was old. The boy's brother is dead. He is the only one of his mother's sons left, and his father loves him.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:21 - "Then you told your servants, 'Bring him down to me so I can see him.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:22 - We said to my lord, 'The boy cannot leave his father. If he leaves his father, his father will die.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:23 - But you said to your servants, 'If your youngest brother does not come down with you, you will not see my face again.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:24 - When we returned to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:25 - "Then our father said, 'Go back and buy us a little food.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:26 - But we replied, 'We cannot go down there. If our youngest brother is with us, then we will go, for we won't be permitted to see the man's face if our youngest brother is not with us.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:27 - "Then your servant my father said to us, 'You know that my wife gave me two sons.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:30 - "So now, when I return to your servant my father, and the boy is not with us - his very life is bound up in his son's life.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:31 - When he sees the boy is not with us, he will die, and your servants will bring down the gray hair of your servant our father in sorrow to the grave.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:33 - "So now, please let your servant remain as my lord's slave instead of the boy. As for the boy, let him go back with his brothers.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:2 - He wept loudly; the Egyptians heard it and Pharaoh's household heard about it.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:3 - Joseph said to his brothers, "I am Joseph! Is my father still alive?" His brothers could not answer him because they were dumbfounded before him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:4 - Joseph said to his brothers, "Come closer to me," so they came near. Then he said, "I am Joseph your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:16 - Now it was reported in the household of Pharaoh, "Joseph's brothers have arrived." It pleased Pharaoh and his servants.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:17 - Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Say to your brothers, 'Do this: Load your animals and go to the land of Canaan!
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:19 - You are also commanded to say, 'Do this: Take for yourselves wagons from the land of Egypt for your little ones and for your wives. Bring your father and come.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:21 - So the sons of Israel did as he said. Joseph gave them wagons as Pharaoh had instructed, and he gave them provisions for the journey.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:22 - He gave sets of clothes to each one of them, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five sets of clothes.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:24 - Then he sent his brothers on their way and they left. He said to them, "As you travel don't be overcome with fear."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:27 - But when they related to him everything Joseph had said to them, and when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to transport him, their father Jacob's spirit revived.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:28 - Then Israel said, "Enough! My son Joseph is still alive! I will go and see him before I die."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:1 - So Israel began his journey, taking with him all that he had. When he came to Beer Sheba he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:2 - God spoke to Israel in a vision during the night and said, "Jacob, Jacob!" He replied, "Here I am!"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:5 - Then Jacob started out from Beer Sheba, and the sons of Israel carried their father Jacob, their little children, and their wives in the wagons that Pharaoh had sent along to transport him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:8 - These are the names of the sons of Israel who went to Egypt - Jacob and his sons: Reuben, the firstborn of Jacob.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:9 - The sons of Reuben: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:10 - The sons of Simeon: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jakin, Zohar, and Shaul (the son of a Canaanite woman).
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:11 - The sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:12 - The sons of Judah: Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah (but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan). The sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:13 - The sons of Issachar: Tola, Puah, Jashub, and Shimron.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:14 - The sons of Zebulun: Sered, Elon, and Jahleel.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:16 - The sons of Gad: Zephon, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi, and Areli.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:17 - The sons of Asher: Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, Beriah, and Serah their sister. The sons of Beriah were Heber and Malkiel.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:19 - The sons of Rachel the wife of Jacob: Joseph and Benjamin.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:20 - Manasseh and Ephraim were born to Joseph in the land of Egypt. Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, bore them to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:21 - The sons of Benjamin: Bela, Beker, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim and Ard.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:23 - The son of Dan: Hushim.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:26 - All the direct descendants of Jacob who went to Egypt with him were sixty-six in number. (This number does not include the wives of Jacob's sons.)
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:27 - Counting the two sons of Joseph who were born to him in Egypt, all the people of the household of Jacob who were in Egypt numbered seventy.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:28 - Jacob sent Judah before him to Joseph to accompany him to Goshen. So they came to the land of Goshen.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:29 - Joseph harnessed his chariot and went up to meet his father Israel in Goshen. When he met him, he hugged his neck and wept on his neck for quite some time.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:31 - Then Joseph said to his brothers and his father's household, "I will go up and tell Pharaoh, 'My brothers and my father's household who were in the land of Canaan have come to me.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:32 - The men are shepherds; they take care of livestock. They have brought their flocks and their herds and all that they have.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:1 - Joseph went and told Pharaoh, "My father, my brothers, their flocks and herds, and all that they own have arrived from the land of Canaan. They are now in the land of Goshen."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:2 - He took five of his brothers and introduced them to Pharaoh.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:3 - Pharaoh said to Joseph's brothers, "What is your occupation?" They said to Pharaoh, "Your servants take care of flocks, just as our ancestors did."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:4 - Then they said to Pharaoh, "We have come to live as temporary residents in the land. There is no pasture for your servants' flocks because the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. So now, please let your servants live in the land of Goshen."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:5 - Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Your father and your brothers have come to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:7 - Then Joseph brought in his father Jacob and presented him before Pharaoh. Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:8 - Pharaoh said to Jacob, "How long have you lived?"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:13 - But there was no food in all the land because the famine was very severe; the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan wasted away because of the famine.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:14 - Joseph collected all the money that could be found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan as payment for the grain they were buying. Then Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's palace.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:15 - When the money from the lands of Egypt and Canaan was used up, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, "Give us food! Why should we die before your very eyes because our money has run out?"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:16 - Then Joseph said, "If your money is gone, bring your livestock, and I will give you food in exchange for your livestock."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:17 - So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them food in exchange for their horses, the livestock of their flocks and herds, and their donkeys. He got them through that year by giving them food in exchange for livestock.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:18 - When that year was over, they came to him the next year and said to him, "We cannot hide from our lord that the money is used up and the livestock and the animals belong to our lord. Nothing remains before our lord except our bodies and our land.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:23 - Joseph said to the people, "Since I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh, here is seed for you. Cultivate the land.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:24 - When you gather in the crop, give one-fifth of it to Pharaoh, and the rest will be yours for seed for the fields and for you to eat, including those in your households and your little children."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:27 - Israel settled in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen, and they owned land there. They were fruitful and increased rapidly in number.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:28 - Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years; the years of Jacob's life were 147 in all.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:29 - The time for Israel to die approached, so he called for his son Joseph and said to him, "If now I have found favor in your sight, put your hand under my thigh and show me kindness and faithfulness. Do not bury me in Egypt,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:30 - but when I rest with my fathers, carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burial place." Joseph said, "I will do as you say."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:1 - After these things Joseph was told, "Your father is weakening." So he took his two sons Manasseh and Ephraim with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:2 - When Jacob was told, "Your son Joseph has just come to you," Israel regained strength and sat up on his bed.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:6 - Any children that you father after them will be yours; they will be listed under the names of their brothers in their inheritance.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:7 - But as for me, when I was returning from Paddan, Rachel died - to my sorrow - in the land of Canaan. It happened along the way, some distance from Ephrath. So I buried her there on the way to Ephrath" (that is, Bethlehem).
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:8 - When Israel saw Joseph's sons, he asked, "Who are these?"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:9 - Joseph said to his father, "They are the sons God has given me in this place." His father said, "Bring them to me so I may bless them."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:10 - Now Israel's eyes were failing because of his age; he was not able to see well. So Joseph brought his sons near to him, and his father kissed them and embraced them.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:13 - Joseph positioned them; he put Ephraim on his right hand across from Israel's left hand, and Manasseh on his left hand across from Israel's right hand. Then Joseph brought them closer to his father.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:14 - Israel stretched out his right hand and placed it on Ephraim's head, although he was the younger. Crossing his hands, he put his left hand on Manasseh's head, for Manasseh was the firstborn.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:17 - When Joseph saw that his father placed his right hand on Ephraim's head, it displeased him. So he took his father's hand to move it from Ephraim's head to Manasseh's head.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:18 - Joseph said to his father, "Not so, my father, for this 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 and will bring you back to the land of your fathers.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:22 - As one who is above your brothers, I give to you the mountain slope, which I took from the Amorites with my sword and my bow."
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 49:1 - Jacob called for his sons and said, "Gather together so I can tell you what will happen to you in the future.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 49:19 - Gad will be raided by marauding bands, but he will attack them at their heels.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 50:4 - When the days of mourning had passed, Joseph said to Pharaoh's royal court, "If I have found favor in your sight, please say to Pharaoh,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 50:15 - When Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, "What if Joseph bears a grudge and wants to repay us in full for all the harm we did to him?"
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 50:20 - As for you, you meant to harm me, but God intended it for a good purpose, so he could preserve the lives of many people, as you can see this day.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 50:24 - Then Joseph said to his brothers, "I am about to die. But God will surely come to you and lead you up from this land to the land he swore on oath to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob."
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:5 - All the people who were directly descended from Jacob numbered seventy. But Joseph was already in Egypt,
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:6 - and in time Joseph and his brothers and all that generation died.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:7 - The Israelites, however, were fruitful, increased greatly, multiplied, and became extremely strong, so that the land was filled with them.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:8 - Then a new king, who did not know about Joseph, came to power over Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:9 - He said to his people, "Look at the Israelite people, more numerous and stronger than we are!
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:12 - But the more the Egyptians oppressed them, the more they multiplied and spread. As a result the Egyptians loathed the Israelites,
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:16 - "When you assist the Hebrew women in childbirth, observe at the delivery: If it is a son, kill him, but if it is a daughter, she may live."
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:17 - But the midwives feared God and did not do what the king of Egypt had told them; they let the boys live.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:18 - Then the king of Egypt summoned the midwives and said to them, "Why have you done this and let the boys live?"
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:19 - The midwives said to Pharaoh, "Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women - for the Hebrew women are vigorous; they give birth before the midwife gets to them!"
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:20 - So God treated the midwives well, and the people multiplied and became very strong.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:22 - Then Pharaoh commanded all his people, "All sons that are born you must throw into the river, but all daughters you may let live."
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:2 - The woman became pregnant and gave birth to a son. When she saw that he was a healthy child, she hid him for three months.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:3 - But when she was no longer able to hide him, she took a papyrus basket for him and sealed it with bitumen and pitch. She put the child in it and set it among the reeds along the edge of the Nile.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:5 - Then the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself by the Nile, while her attendants were walking alongside the river, and she saw the basket among the reeds. She sent one of her attendants, took it,
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:6 - opened it, and saw the child - a boy, crying! - and she felt compassion for him and said, "This is one of the Hebrews' children."
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:8 - Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Yes, do so." So the young girl went and got the child's mother.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:9 - Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Take this child and nurse him for me, and I will pay your wages." So the woman took the child and nursed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:10 - When the child grew older she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses, saying, "Because I drew him from the water."
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:11 - In those days, when Moses had grown up, he went out to his people and observed their hard labor, and he saw an Egyptian man attacking a Hebrew man, one of his own people.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:12 - He looked this way and that and saw that no one was there, and then he attacked the Egyptian and concealed the body in the sand.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:13 - When he went out the next day, there were two Hebrew men fighting. So he said to the one who was in the wrong, "Why are you attacking your fellow Hebrew?"
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:14 - The man replied, "Who made you a ruler and a judge over us? Are you planning to kill me like you killed that Egyptian?" Then Moses was afraid, thinking, "Surely what I did has become known."
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:15 - When Pharaoh heard about this event, he sought to kill Moses. So Moses fled from Pharaoh and settled in the land of Midian, and he settled by a certain well.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:16 - Now a priest of Midian had seven daughters, and they came and began to draw water and fill the troughs in order to water their father's flock.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:17 - When some shepherds came and drove them away, Moses came up and defended them and then watered their flock.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:18 - So when they came home to their father Reuel, he asked, "Why have you come home so early today?"
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:19 - They said, "An Egyptian man rescued us from the shepherds, and he actually drew water for us and watered the flock!"
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:20 - He said to his daughters, "So where is he? Why in the world did you leave the man? Call him, so that he may eat a meal with us."
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:21 - Moses agreed to stay with the man, and he gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses in marriage.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:22 - When she bore a son, Moses named him Gershom, for he said, "I have become a resident foreigner in a foreign land."
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:23 - During that long period of time the king of Egypt died, and the Israelites groaned because of the slave labor. They cried out, and their desperate cry because of their slave labor went up to God.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 3:2 - The angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire from within a bush. He looked - and the bush was ablaze with fire, but it was not being consumed!
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 3:3 - So Moses thought, "I will turn aside to see this amazing sight. Why does the bush not burn up?"
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 3:4 - When the LORD saw that he had turned aside to look, God called to him from within the bush and said, "Moses, Moses!" And Moses said, "Here I am."
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 3:6 - He added, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." Then Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 3:7 - The LORD said, "I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt. I have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 3:12 - He replied, "Surely I will be with you, and this will be the sign to you that I have sent you: When you bring the people out of Egypt, you and they will serve God on this mountain."
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 3:19 - But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go, not even under force.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 3:21 - "I will grant this people favor with the Egyptians, so that when you depart you will not leave empty-handed.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 4:1 - Moses answered again, "And if they do not believe me or pay attention to me, but say, 'The LORD has not appeared to you'?"
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 4:2 - The LORD said to him, "What is that in your hand?" He said, "A staff."
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 4:6 - The LORD also said to him, "Put your hand into your robe." So he put his hand into his robe, and when he brought it out - there was his hand, leprous like snow!
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 4:8 - "If they do not believe you or pay attention to the former sign, then they may believe the latter sign.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 4:10 - Then Moses said to the LORD, "O my Lord, I am not an eloquent man, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant, for I am slow of speech and slow of tongue."
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 4:11 - The LORD said to him, "Who gave a mouth to man, or who makes a person mute or deaf or seeing or blind? Is it not I, the LORD?
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 4:16 - He will speak for you to the people, and it will be as if he were your mouth and as if you were his God.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 4:18 - So Moses went back to his father-in-law Jethro and said to him, "Let me go, so that I may return to my relatives in Egypt and see if they are still alive." Jethro said to Moses, "Go in peace."
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 4:19 - The LORD said to Moses in Midian, "Go back to Egypt, because all the men who were seeking your life are dead."
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 4:20 - Then Moses took his wife and sons and put them on a donkey and headed back to the land of Egypt, and Moses took the staff of God in his hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 4:21 - The LORD said to Moses, "When you go back to Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the wonders I have put under your control. But I will harden his heart and he will not let the people go.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 4:29 - Then Moses and Aaron went and brought together all the Israelite elders.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 4:31 - and the people believed. When they heard that the LORD had attended to the Israelites and that he had seen their affliction, they bowed down close to the ground.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 5:6 - That same day Pharaoh commanded the slave masters and foremen who were over the people:
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 5:10 - So the slave masters of the people and their foremen went to the Israelites and said, "Thus says Pharaoh: 'I am not giving you straw.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 5:13 - The slave masters were pressuring them, saying, "Complete your work for each day, just like when there was straw!"
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 5:15 - The Israelite foremen went and cried out to Pharaoh, "Why are you treating your servants this way?
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 5:19 - The Israelite foremen saw that they were in trouble when they were told, "You must not reduce the daily quota of your bricks."
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 5:20 - When they went out from Pharaoh, they encountered Moses and Aaron standing there to meet them,
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 5:22 - Moses returned to the LORD, and said, "Lord, why have you caused trouble for this people? Why did you ever send me?
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 6:2 - God spoke to Moses and said to him, "I am the LORD.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 6:9 - Moses told this to the Israelites, but they did not listen to him because of their discouragement and hard labor.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 6:10 - Then the LORD said to Moses,
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 6:12 - But Moses replied to the LORD, "If the Israelites did not listen to me, then how will Pharaoh listen to me, since I speak with difficulty?"
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 6:13 - The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron and gave them a charge for the Israelites and Pharaoh king of Egypt to bring the Israelites out of the land of Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 6:20 - Amram married his father's sister Jochebed, and she bore him Aaron and Moses. (The length of Amram's life was 137 years.)

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 6:24 - The sons of Korah were Assir, Elkanah, and Abiasaph. These were the Korahite clans.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 7:2 - You are to speak everything I command you, and your brother Aaron is to tell Pharaoh that he must release the Israelites from his land.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 7:3 - But I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and although I will multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt,
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 7:6 - And Moses and Aaron did so; they did just as the LORD commanded them.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 7:7 - Now Moses was eighty years old and Aaron was eighty-three years old when they spoke to Pharaoh.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 7:10 - When Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh, they did so, just as the LORD had commanded them - Aaron threw down his staff before Pharaoh and his servants and it became a snake.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 7:11 - Then Pharaoh also summoned wise men and sorcerers, and the magicians of Egypt by their secret arts did the same thing.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 7:14 - The LORD said to Moses, "Pharaoh's heart is hard; he refuses to release the people.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 7:19 - Then the LORD said to Moses, "Tell Aaron, 'Take your staff and stretch out your hand over Egypt's waters - over their rivers, over their canals, over their ponds, and over all their reservoirs - so that it becomes blood.' There will be blood everywhere in the land of Egypt, even in wooden and stone containers."
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 7:22 - But the magicians of Egypt did the same by their secret arts, and so Pharaoh's heart remained hard, and he refused to listen to Moses and Aaron - just as the LORD had predicted.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 7:23 - And Pharaoh turned and went into his house. He did not pay any attention to this.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 7:24 - All the Egyptians dug around the Nile for water to drink, because they could not drink the water of the Nile.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:1 - (7:26) Then the LORD said to Moses, "Go to Pharaoh and tell him, 'Thus says the LORD: "Release my people in order that they may serve me!
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:2 - But if you refuse to release them, then I am going to plague all your territory with frogs.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:5 - The LORD spoke to Moses, "Tell Aaron, 'Extend your hand with your staff over the rivers, over the canals, and over the ponds, and bring the frogs up over the land of Egypt.'"
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:7 - The magicians did the same with their secret arts and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt too.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:9 - Moses said to Pharaoh, "You may have the honor over me - when shall I pray for you, your servants, and your people, for the frogs to be removed from you and your houses, so that they will be left only in the Nile?"
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:10 - He said, "Tomorrow." And Moses said, "It will be as you say, so that you may know that there is no one like the LORD our God.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:12 - Then Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and Moses cried to the LORD because of the frogs that he had brought on Pharaoh.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:13 - The LORD did as Moses asked - the frogs died out of the houses, the villages, and the fields.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:15 - But when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he hardened his heart and did not listen to them, just as the LORD had predicted.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:16 - The LORD said to Moses, "Tell Aaron, 'Extend your staff and strike the dust of the ground, and it will become gnats throughout all the land of Egypt.'"
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:18 - When the magicians attempted to bring forth gnats by their secret arts, they could not. So there were gnats on people and on animals.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:20 - The LORD said to Moses, "Get up early in the morning and position yourself before Pharaoh as he goes out to the water, and tell him, 'Thus says the LORD, "Release my people that they may serve me!
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:21 - If you do not release my people, then I am going to send swarms of flies on you and on your servants and on your people and in your houses. The houses of the Egyptians will be full of flies, and even the ground they stand on.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:23 - I will put a division between my people and your people. This sign will take place tomorrow."'"
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:24 - The LORD did so; a thick swarm of flies came into Pharaoh's house and into the houses of his servants, and throughout the whole land of Egypt the land was ruined because of the swarms of flies.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:25 - Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, "Go, sacrifice to your God within the land."
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:29 - Moses said, "I am going to go out from you and pray to the LORD, and the swarms of flies will go away from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people tomorrow. Only do not let Pharaoh deal falsely again by not releasing the people to sacrifice to the LORD."
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:30 - So Moses went out from Pharaoh and prayed to the LORD,
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:31 - and the LORD did as Moses asked - he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people. Not one remained!
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:1 - Then the LORD said to Moses, "Go to Pharaoh and tell him, 'Thus says the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, "Release my people that they may serve me!
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:6 - And the LORD did this on the next day; all the livestock of the Egyptians died, but of the Israelites' livestock not one died.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:7 - Pharaoh sent representatives to investigate, and indeed, not even one of the livestock of Israel had died. But Pharaoh's heart remained hard, and he did not release the people.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:8 - Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "Take handfuls of soot from a furnace, and have Moses throw it into the air while Pharaoh is watching.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:12 - But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not listen to them, just as the LORD had predicted to Moses.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:13 - The LORD said to Moses, "Get up early in the morning, stand before Pharaoh, and tell him, 'Thus says the LORD, the God of the Hebrews: "Release my people so that they may serve me!
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:19 - So now, send instructions to gather your livestock and all your possessions in the fields to a safe place. Every person or animal caught in the field and not brought into the house - the hail will come down on them, and they will die!"'"
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:21 - but those who did not take the word of the LORD seriously left their servants and their cattle in the field.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:22 - Then the LORD said to Moses, "Extend your hand toward the sky that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, on people and on animals, and on everything that grows in the field in the land of Egypt."
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:23 - When Moses extended his staff toward the sky, the LORD sent thunder and hail, and fire fell to the earth; so the LORD caused hail to rain down on the land of Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:24 - Hail fell and fire mingled with the hail; the hail was so severe that there had not been any like it in all the land of Egypt since it had become a nation.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:25 - The hail struck everything in the open fields, both people and animals, throughout all the land of Egypt. The hail struck everything that grows in the field, and it broke all the trees of the field to pieces.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:27 - So Pharaoh sent and summoned Moses and Aaron and said to them, "I have sinned this time! The LORD is righteous, and I and my people are guilty.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:29 - Moses said to him, "When I leave the city I will spread my hands to the LORD, the thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail, so that you may know that the earth belongs to the LORD.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:31 - (Now the flax and the barley were struck by the hail, for the barley had ripened and the flax was in bud.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:32 - But the wheat and the spelt were not struck, for they are later crops.)
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:33 - So Moses left Pharaoh, went out of the city, and spread out his hands to the LORD, and the thunder and the hail ceased, and the rain stopped pouring on the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:34 - When Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder ceased, he sinned again: both he and his servants hardened their hearts.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 10:1 - The LORD said to Moses, "Go to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the heart of his servants, in order to display these signs of mine before him,
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 10:3 - So Moses and Aaron came to Pharaoh and told him, "Thus says the LORD, the God of the Hebrews: 'How long do you refuse to humble yourself before me? Release my people so that they may serve me!
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 10:4 - But if you refuse to release my people, I am going to bring locusts into your territory tomorrow.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 10:8 - So Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh, and he said to them, "Go, serve the LORD your God. Exactly who is going with you?"
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 10:11 - No! Go, you men only, and serve the LORD, for that is what you want." Then Moses and Aaron were driven out of Pharaoh's presence.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 10:12 - The LORD said to Moses, "Extend your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up over the land of Egypt and eat everything that grows in the ground, everything that the hail has left."
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 10:16 - Then Pharaoh quickly summoned Moses and Aaron and said, "I have sinned against the LORD your God and against you!
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 10:18 - Moses went out from Pharaoh and prayed to the LORD,
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 10:21 - The LORD said to Moses, "Extend your hand toward heaven so that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, a darkness so thick it can be felt."
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 10:22 - So Moses extended his hand toward heaven, and there was absolute darkness throughout the land of Egypt for three days.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 10:23 - No one could see another person, and no one could rise from his place for three days. But the Israelites had light in the places where they lived.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 10:26 - Our livestock must also go with us! Not a hoof is to be left behind! For we must take these animals to serve the LORD our God. Until we arrive there, we do not know what we must use to serve the LORD."
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 10:27 - But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he was not willing to release them.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 10:29 - Moses said, "As you wish! I will not see your face again."
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 11:1 - The LORD said to Moses, "I will bring one more plague on Pharaoh and on Egypt; after that he will release you from this place. When he releases you, he will drive you out completely from this place.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 11:3 - (Now the LORD granted the people favor with the Egyptians. Moreover, the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, respected by Pharaoh's servants and by the Egyptian people.)
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 11:8 - All these your servants will come down to me and bow down to me, saying, 'Go, you and all the people who follow you,' and after that I will go out." Then Moses went out from Pharaoh in great anger.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 11:9 - The LORD said to Moses, "Pharaoh will not listen to you, so that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt."
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 11:10 - So Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh, but the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not release the Israelites from his land.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:1 - The LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:4 - If any household is too small for a lamb, the man and his next-door neighbor are to take a lamb according to the number of people - you will make your count for the lamb according to how much each one can eat.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:10 - You must leave nothing until morning, but you must burn with fire whatever remains of it until morning.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:11 - This is how you are to eat it - dressed to travel, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. You are to eat it in haste. It is the LORD'S Passover.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:15 - For seven days you must eat bread made without yeast. Surely on the first day you must put away yeast from your houses because anyone who eats bread made with yeast from the first day to the seventh day will be cut off from Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:20 - You will not eat anything made with yeast; in all the places where you live you must eat bread made without yeast.'"
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:21 - Then Moses summoned all the elders of Israel, and told them, "Go and select for yourselves a lamb or young goat for your families, and kill the Passover animals.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:22 - Take a branch of hyssop, dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and apply to the top of the doorframe and the two side posts some of the blood that is in the basin. Not one of you is to go out the door of his house until morning.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:25 - When you enter the land that the LORD will give to you, just as he said, you must observe this ceremony.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:27 - then you will say, 'It is the sacrifice of the LORD's Passover, when he passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt, when he struck Egypt and delivered our households.'" The people bowed down low to the ground,
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:29 - It happened at midnight - the LORD attacked all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the prison, and all the firstborn of the cattle.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:32 - Also, take your flocks and your herds, just as you have requested, and leave. But bless me also."
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:34 - So the people took their dough before the yeast was added, with their kneading troughs bound up in their clothing on their shoulders.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:35 - Now the Israelites had done as Moses told them - they had requested from the Egyptians silver and gold items and clothing.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:37 - The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Sukkoth. There were about 600,000 men on foot, plus their dependants.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:40 - Now the length of time the Israelites lived in Egypt was 430 years.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:43 - The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "This is the ordinance of the Passover. No foreigner may share in eating it.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 13:1 - The LORD spoke to Moses:
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 13:3 - Moses said to the people, "Remember this day on which you came out from Egypt, from the place where you were enslaved, for the LORD brought you out of there with a mighty hand - and no bread made with yeast may be eaten.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 13:6 - For seven days you must eat bread made without yeast, and on the seventh day there is to be a festival to the LORD.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 13:13 - Every firstling of a donkey you must redeem with a lamb, and if you do not redeem it, then you must break its neck. Every firstborn of your sons you must redeem.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 13:14 - In the future, when your son asks you 'What is this?' you are to tell him, 'With a mighty hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the land of slavery.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 13:15 - When Pharaoh stubbornly refused to release us, the LORD killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of people to the firstborn of animals. That is why I am sacrificing to the LORD the first male offspring of every womb, but all my firstborn sons I redeem.'
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 13:17 - When Pharaoh released the people, God did not lead them by the way to the land of the Philistines, although that was nearby, for God said, "Lest the people change their minds and return to Egypt when they experience war."
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 13:18 - So God brought the people around by the way of the desert to the Red Sea, and the Israelites went up from the land of Egypt prepared for battle.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 13:20 - They journeyed from Sukkoth and camped in Etham, on the edge of the desert.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 13:21 - Now the LORD was going before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them in the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel day or night.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 14:4 - I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he will chase after them. I will gain honor because of Pharaoh and because of all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD." So this is what they did.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 14:8 - But the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he chased after the Israelites. Now the Israelites were going out defiantly.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 14:10 - When Pharaoh got closer, the Israelites looked up, and there were the Egyptians marching after them, and they were terrified. The Israelites cried out to the LORD,
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 14:13 - Moses said to the people, "Do not fear! Stand firm and see the salvation of the LORD that he will provide for you today; for the Egyptians that you see today you will never, ever see again.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 14:15 - The LORD said to Moses, "Why do you cry out to me? Tell the Israelites to move on.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 14:19 - The angel of God, who was going before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them, and the pillar of cloud moved from before them and stood behind them.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 14:21 - Moses stretched out his hand toward the sea, and the LORD drove the sea apart by a strong east wind all that night, and he made the sea into dry land, and the water was divided.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 14:23 - The Egyptians chased them and followed them into the middle of the sea - all the horses of Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 14:24 - In the morning watch the LORD looked down on the Egyptian army through the pillar of fire and cloud, and he threw the Egyptian army into a panic.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 14:26 - The LORD said to Moses, "Extend your hand toward the sea, so that the waters may flow back on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen!"
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 14:27 - So Moses extended his hand toward the sea, and the sea returned to its normal state when the sun began to rise. Now the Egyptians were fleeing before it, but the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the middle of the sea.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 14:29 - But the Israelites walked on dry ground in the middle of the sea, the water forming a wall for them on their right and on their left.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 14:31 - When Israel saw the great power that the LORD had exercised over the Egyptians, they feared the LORD, and they believed in the LORD and in his servant Moses.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 15:19 - For the horses of Pharaoh came with his chariots and his footmen into the sea, and the LORD brought back the waters of the sea on them, but the Israelites walked on dry land in the middle of the sea."
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 15:20 - Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a hand-drum in her hand, and all the women went out after her with hand-drums and with dances.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 15:21 - Miriam sang in response to them, "Sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and its rider he has thrown into the sea."
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 15:22 - Then Moses led Israel to journey away from the Red Sea. They went out to the Desert of Shur, walked for three days into the desert, and found no water.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 15:23 - Then they came to Marah, but they were not able to drink the waters of Marah, because they were bitter. (That is why its name was Marah.)
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 15:25 - He cried out to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a tree. When Moses threw it into the water, the water became safe to drink. There the Lord made for them a binding ordinance, and there he tested them.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 15:27 - Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve wells of water and seventy palm trees, and they camped there by the water.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 16:1 - When they journeyed from Elim, the entire company of Israelites came to the Desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their exodus from the land of Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 16:4 - Then the LORD said to Moses, "I am going to rain bread from heaven for you, and the people will go out and gather the amount for each day, so that I may test them. Will they walk in my law or not?
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 16:7 - and in the morning you will see the glory of the LORD, because he has heard your murmurings against the LORD. As for us, what are we, that you should murmur against us?"
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 16:8 - Moses said, "You will know this when the LORD gives you meat to eat in the evening and bread in the morning to satisfy you, because the LORD has heard your murmurings that you are murmuring against him. As for us, what are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD."
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 16:9 - Then Moses said to Aaron, "Tell the whole community of the Israelites, 'Come before the LORD, because he has heard your murmurings.'"
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 16:10 - As Aaron spoke to the whole community of the Israelites and they looked toward the desert, there the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud,
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 16:13 - In the evening the quail came up and covered the camp, and in the morning a layer of dew was all around the camp.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 16:15 - When the Israelites saw it, they said to one another, "What is it?" because they did not know what it was. Moses said to them, "It is the bread that the LORD has given you for food.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 16:17 - The Israelites did so, and they gathered - some more, some less.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 16:19 - Moses said to them, "No one is to keep any of it until morning."
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 16:21 - So they gathered it each morning, each person according to what he could eat, and when the sun got hot, it would melt.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 16:22 - And on the sixth day they gathered twice as much food, two omers per person; and all the leaders of the community came and told Moses.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 16:23 - He said to them, "This is what the LORD has said: 'Tomorrow is a time of cessation from work, a holy Sabbath to the LORD. Whatever you want to bake, bake today; whatever you want to boil, boil today; whatever is left put aside for yourselves to be kept until morning.'"
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 16:25 - Moses said, "Eat it today, for today is a Sabbath to the LORD; today you will not find it in the area.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 16:26 - Six days you will gather it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, there will not be any."
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 16:27 - On the seventh day some of the people went out to gather it, but they found nothing.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 16:28 - So the LORD said to Moses, "How long do you refuse to obey my commandments and my instructions?
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 16:31 - The house of Israel called its name "manna." It was like coriander seed and was white, and it tasted like wafers with honey.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 16:32 - Moses said, "This is what the LORD has commanded: 'Fill an omer with it to be kept for generations to come, so that they may see the food I fed you in the desert when I brought you out from the land of Egypt.'"
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 16:35 - Now the Israelites ate manna forty years, until they came to a land that was inhabited; they ate manna until they came to the border of the land of Canaan.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 16:36 - (Now an omer is one tenth of an ephah.)
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 17:1 - The whole community of the Israelites traveled on their journey from the Desert of Sin according to the LORD's instruction, and they pitched camp in Rephidim. Now there was no water for the people to drink.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 17:3 - But the people were very thirsty there for water, and they murmured against Moses and said, "Why in the world did you bring us up out of Egypt - to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?"
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 17:4 - Then Moses cried out to the LORD, "What will I do with this people? - a little more and they will stone me!"
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 17:5 - The LORD said to Moses, "Go over before the people; take with you some of the elders of Israel and take in your hand your staff with which you struck the Nile and go.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 17:6 - I will be standing before you there on the rock in Horeb, and you will strike the rock, and water will come out of it so that the people may drink." And Moses did so in plain view of the elders of Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 17:8 - Amalek came and attacked Israel in Rephidim.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 17:9 - So Moses said to Joshua, "Choose some of our men and go out, fight against Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand."
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 17:11 - Whenever Moses would raise his hands, then Israel prevailed, but whenever he would rest his hands, then Amalek prevailed.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 17:12 - When the hands of Moses became heavy, they took a stone and put it under him, and Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on one side and one on the other, and so his hands were steady until the sun went down.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 17:14 - The LORD said to Moses, "Write this as a memorial in the book, and rehearse it in Joshua's hearing; for I will surely wipe out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 18:1 - Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father-in-law, heard about all that God had done for Moses and for his people Israel, that the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 18:2 - Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took Moses' wife Zipporah after he had sent her back,
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 18:6 - He said to Moses, "I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you, along with your wife and her two sons with her."
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 18:7 - Moses went out to meet his father-in-law and bowed down and kissed him; they each asked about the other's welfare, and then they went into the tent.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 18:9 - Jethro rejoiced because of all the good that the LORD had done for Israel, whom he had delivered from the hand of Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 18:12 - Then Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, brought a burnt offering and sacrifices for God, and Aaron and all the elders of Israel came to eat food with the father-in-law of Moses before God.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 17:8 - If a matter is too difficult for you to judge - bloodshed, legal claim, or assault - matters of controversy in your villages - you must leave there and go up to the place the LORD your God chooses.

Unchecked Copy BoxEst 2:7 - Now he was acting as the guardian of Hadassah (that is, Esther), the daughter of his uncle, for neither her father nor her mother was alive. This young woman was very attractive and had a beautiful figure. When her father and mother died, Mordecai had raised her as if she were his own daughter.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 2:11 - And day after day Mordecai used to walk back and forth in front of the court of the harem in order to learn how Esther was doing and what might happen to her.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 2:12 - At the end of the twelve months that were required for the women, when the turn of each young woman arrived to go to King Ahasuerus - for in this way they had to fulfill their time of cosmetic treatment: six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with perfume and various ointments used by women -
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 2:15 - When it became the turn of Esther daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai (who had raised her as if she were his own daughter) to go to the king, she did not request anything except what Hegai the king's eunuch, who was overseer of the women, had recommended. Yet Esther met with the approval of all who saw her.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 2:19 - Now when the young women were being gathered again, Mordecai was sitting at the king's gate.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 2:20 - Esther was still not divulging her lineage or her people, just as Mordecai had instructed her. Esther continued to do whatever Mordecai said, just as she had done when he was raising her.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 2:23 - The king then had the matter investigated and, finding it to be so, had the two conspirators hanged on a gallows. It was then recorded in the daily chronicles in the king's presence.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 3:1 - Some time later King Ahasuerus promoted Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, exalting him and setting his position above that of all the officials who were with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 3:2 - As a result, all the king's servants who were at the king's gate were bowing and paying homage to Haman, for the king had so commanded. However, Mordecai did not bow, nor did he pay him homage.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 3:8 - Then Haman said to King Ahasuerus, "There is a particular people that is dispersed and spread among the inhabitants throughout all the provinces of your kingdom whose laws differ from those of all other peoples. Furthermore, they do not observe the king's laws. It is not appropriate for the king to provide a haven for them.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 3:11 - The king replied to Haman, "Keep your money, and do with those people whatever you wish."
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 3:14 - A copy of this edict was to be presented as law throughout every province; it was to be made known to all the inhabitants, so that they would be prepared for this day.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 3:15 - The messengers scurried forth with the king's order. The edict was issued in Susa the citadel. While the king and Haman sat down to drink, the city of Susa was in an uproar!
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 4:1 - Now when Mordecai became aware of all that had been done, he tore his garments and put on sackcloth and ashes. He went out into the city, crying out in a loud and bitter voice.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 4:4 - When Esther's female attendants and her eunuchs came and informed her about Mordecai's behavior, the queen was overcome with anguish. Although she sent garments for Mordecai to put on so that he could remove his sackcloth, he would not accept them.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 4:5 - So Esther called for Hathach, one of the king's eunuchs who had been placed at her service, and instructed him to find out the cause and reason for Mordecai's behavior.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 4:7 - Then Mordecai related to him everything that had happened to him, even the specific amount of money that Haman had offered to pay to the king's treasuries for the Jews to be destroyed.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 4:9 - So Hathach returned and related Mordecai's instructions to Esther.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 4:10 - Then Esther replied to Hathach with instructions for Mordecai:
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 4:14 - "Don't imagine that because you are part of the king's household you will be the one Jew who will escape. If you keep quiet at this time, liberation and protection for the Jews will appear from another source, while you and your father's household perish. It may very well be that you have achieved royal status for such a time as this!"
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 4:16 - "Go, assemble all the Jews who are found in Susa and fast on my behalf. Don't eat and don't drink for three days, night or day. My female attendants and I will also fast in the same way. Afterward I will go to the king, even though it violates the law. If I perish, I perish!"
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 5:1 - It so happened that on the third day Esther put on her royal attire and stood in the inner court of the palace, opposite the king's quarters. The king was sitting on his royal throne in the palace, opposite the entrance.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 5:2 - When the king saw Queen Esther standing in the court, she met with his approval. The king extended to Esther the gold scepter that was in his hand, and Esther approached and touched the end of the scepter.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 5:4 - Esther replied, "If the king is so inclined, let the king and Haman come today to the banquet that I have prepared for him."
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 5:6 - While at the banquet of wine, the king said to Esther, "What is your request? It shall be given to you. What is your petition? Ask for as much as half the kingdom, and it shall be done!"
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 5:9 - Now Haman went forth that day pleased and very much encouraged. But when Haman saw Mordecai at the king's gate, and he did not rise nor tremble in his presence, Haman was filled with rage toward Mordecai.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 5:14 - Haman's wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, "Have a gallows seventy-five feet high built, and in the morning tell the king that Mordecai should be hanged on it. Then go with the king to the banquet contented." It seemed like a good idea to Haman, so he had the gallows built.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 6:1 - Throughout that night the king was unable to sleep, so he asked for the book containing the historical records to be brought. As the records were being read in the king's presence,
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 6:2 - it was found written that Mordecai had disclosed that Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's eunuchs who guarded the entrance, had plotted to assassinate King Ahasuerus.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 6:3 - The king asked, "What great honor was bestowed on Mordecai because of this?" The king's attendants who served him responded, "Not a thing was done for him."
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 6:4 - Then the king said, "Who is that in the courtyard?" Now Haman had come to the outer courtyard of the palace to suggest that the king hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had constructed for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 6:6 - So Haman came in, and the king said to him, "What should be done for the man whom the king wishes to honor?" Haman thought to himself, "Who is it that the king would want to honor more than me?"
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 6:7 - So Haman said to the king, "For the man whom the king wishes to honor,
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 6:10 - The king then said to Haman, "Go quickly! Take the clothing and the horse, just as you have described, and do as you just indicated to Mordecai the Jew who sits at the king's gate. Don't neglect a single thing of all that you have said."
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 6:11 - So Haman took the clothing and the horse, and he clothed Mordecai. He led him about on the horse throughout the plaza of the city, calling before him, "So shall it be done to the man whom the king wishes to honor!"
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 6:12 - Then Mordecai again sat at the king's gate, while Haman hurried away to his home, mournful and with a veil over his head.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 7:1 - So the king and Haman came to dine with Queen Esther.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 7:2 - On the second day of the banquet of wine the king asked Esther, "What is your request, Queen Esther? It shall be granted to you. And what is your petition? Ask up to half the kingdom, and it shall be done!"
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 7:5 - Then King Ahasuerus responded to Queen Esther, "Who is this individual? Where is this person to be found who is presumptuous enough to act in this way?"
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 7:6 - Esther replied, "The oppressor and enemy is this evil Haman!" Then Haman became terrified in the presence of the king and queen.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 7:7 - In rage the king arose from the banquet of wine and withdrew to the palace garden. Meanwhile, Haman stood to beg Queen Esther for his life, for he realized that the king had now determined a catastrophic end for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 7:8 - When the king returned from the palace garden to the banquet of wine, Haman was throwing himself down on the couch where Esther was lying. The king exclaimed, "Will he also attempt to rape the queen while I am still in the building!" As these words left the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 7:9 - Harbona, one of the king's eunuchs, said, "Indeed, there is the gallows that Haman made for Mordecai, who spoke out in the king's behalf. It stands near Haman's home and is seventy-five feet high." The king said, "Hang him on it!"
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 8:2 - The king then removed his signet ring (the very one he had taken back from Haman) and gave it to Mordecai. And Esther designated Mordecai to be in charge of Haman's estate.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 8:4 - When the king extended to Esther the gold scepter, she arose and stood before the king.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 8:9 - The king's scribes were quickly summoned - in the third month (that is, the month of Sivan), on the twenty-third day. They wrote out everything that Mordecai instructed to the Jews and to the satraps and the governors and the officials of the provinces all the way from India to Ethiopia - a hundred and twenty-seven provinces in all - to each province in its own script and to each people in their own language, and to the Jews according to their own script and their own language.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 8:10 - Mordecai wrote in the name of King Ahasuerus and sealed it with the king's signet ring. He then sent letters by couriers on horses, who rode royal horses that were very swift.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 8:13 - A copy of the edict was to be presented as law throughout each and every province and made known to all peoples, so that the Jews might be prepared on that day to avenge themselves from their enemies.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 8:14 - The couriers who were riding the royal horses went forth with the king's edict without delay. And the law was presented in Susa the citadel as well.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 8:15 - Now Mordecai went out from the king's presence in purple and white royal attire, with a large golden crown and a purple linen mantle. The city of Susa shouted with joy.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 8:16 - For the Jews there was radiant happiness and joyous honor.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 9:12 - Then the king said to Queen Esther, "In Susa the citadel the Jews have killed and destroyed five hundred men and the ten sons of Haman! What then have they done in the rest of the king's provinces? What is your request? It shall be given to you. What other petition do you have? It shall be done."
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 9:16 - The rest of the Jews who were throughout the provinces of the king assembled in order to stand up for themselves and to have rest from their enemies. They killed seventy-five thousand of their adversaries, but they did not confiscate their property.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 9:18 - But the Jews who were in Susa assembled on the thirteenth and fourteenth days, and rested on the fifteenth, making it a day for banqueting and happiness.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 9:19 - This is why the Jews who are in the rural country - those who live in rural cities - set aside the fourteenth day of the month of Adar as a holiday for happiness, banqueting, holiday, and sending gifts to one another.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 9:20 - Mordecai wrote these matters down and sent letters to all the Jews who were throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, both near and far,
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 9:25 - But when the matter came to the king's attention, the king gave written orders that Haman's evil intentions that he had devised against the Jews should fall on his own head. He and his sons were hanged on the gallows.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 9:27 - Therefore, because of the account found in this letter and what they had faced in this regard and what had happened to them, the Jews established as binding on themselves, their descendants, and all who joined their company that they should observe these two days without fail, just as written and at the appropriate time on an annual basis.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 9:28 - These days were to be remembered and to be celebrated in every generation and in every family, every province, and every city. The Jews were not to fail to observe these days of Purim; the remembrance of them was not to cease among their descendants.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 10:1 - King Ahasuerus then imposed forced labor on the land and on the coastlands of the sea.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 10:3 - Mordecai the Jew was second only to King Ahasuerus. He was the highest-ranking Jew, and he was admired by his numerous relatives. He worked enthusiastically for the good of his people and was an advocate for the welfare of all his descendants.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 1:2 - Seven sons and three daughters were born to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 1:4 - Now his sons used to go and hold a feast in the house of each one in turn, and they would send and invite their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 1:9 - Then Satan answered the LORD, "Is it for nothing that Job fears God?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 1:15 - and the Sabeans swooped down and carried them all away, and they killed the servants with the sword! And I - only I alone - escaped to tell you!"
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 1:17 - While this one was still speaking another messenger arrived and said, "The Chaldeans formed three bands and made a raid on the camels and carried them all away, and they killed the servants with the sword! And I - only I alone - escaped to tell you!"
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 1:19 - and suddenly a great wind swept across the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young people, and they died! And I - only I alone - escaped to tell you!"
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 2:1 - Again the day came when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also arrived among them to present himself before the LORD.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 2:3 - Then the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a pure and upright man, one who fears God and turns away from evil. And he still holds firmly to his integrity, so that you stirred me up to destroy him without reason."
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 2:4 - But Satan answered the LORD, "Skin for skin! Indeed, a man will give up all that he has to save his life!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 2:5 - But extend your hand and strike his bone and his flesh, and he will no doubt curse you to your face!"
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 2:6 - So the LORD said to Satan, "All right, he is in your power; only preserve his life."
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 2:7 - So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD, and he afflicted Job with a malignant ulcer from the sole of his feet to the top of his head.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 2:9 - Then his wife said to him, "Are you still holding firmly to your integrity? Curse God, and die!"
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 2:10 - But he replied, "You're talking like one of the godless women would do! Should we receive what is good from God, and not also receive what is evil?" In all this Job did not sin by what he said.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 2:11 - When Job's three friends heard about all this calamity that had happened to him, each of them came from his own country - Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. They met together to come to show sympathy for him and to console him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 2:12 - But when they gazed intently from a distance but did not recognize him, they began to weep loudly. Each of them tore his robes, and they threw dust into the air over their heads.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:5 - Let darkness and the deepest shadow claim it; let a cloud settle on it; let whatever blackens the day terrify it!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:11 - "Why did I not die at birth, and why did I not expire as I came out of the womb?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:12 - Why did the knees welcome me, and why were there two breasts that I might nurse at them?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:13 - For now I would be lying down and would be quiet, I would be asleep and then at peace
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:18 - There the prisoners relax together; they do not hear the voice of the oppressor.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:20 - "Why does God give light to one who is in misery, and life to those whose soul is bitter,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:22 - who rejoice even to jubilation, and are exultant when they find the grave?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:24 - For my sighing comes in place of my food, and my groanings flow forth like water.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 4:1 - Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 4:2 - "If someone should attempt a word with you, will you be impatient? But who can refrain from speaking?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 4:5 - But now the same thing comes to you, and you are discouraged; it strikes you, and you are terrified.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 4:8 - Even as I have seen, those who plow iniquity and those who sow trouble reap the same.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 4:9 - By the breath of God they perish, and by the blast of his anger they are consumed.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 4:10 - There is the roaring of the lion and the growling of the young lion, but the teeth of the young lions are broken.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 4:11 - The mighty lion perishes for lack of prey, and the cubs of the lioness are scattered.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 4:13 - In the troubling thoughts of the dreams in the night when a deep sleep falls on men,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 4:18 - If God puts no trust in his servants and attributes folly to his angels,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 4:19 - how much more to those who live in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed like a moth?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 5:2 - For wrath kills the foolish person, and anger slays the silly one.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 5:3 - I myself have seen the fool taking root, but suddenly I cursed his place of residence.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 5:4 - His children are far from safety, and they are crushed at the place where judgment is rendered, nor is there anyone to deliver them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 5:5 - The hungry eat up his harvest, and take it even from behind the thorns, and the thirsty swallow up their fortune.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 5:7 - but people are born to trouble, as surely as the sparks fly upward.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 5:8 - "But as for me, I would seek God, and to God I would set forth my case.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 5:13 - He catches the wise in their own craftiness, and the counsel of the cunning is brought to a quick end.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 5:14 - They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope about in the noontime as if it were night.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 5:15 - So he saves from the sword that comes from their mouth, even the poor from the hand of the powerful.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 5:16 - Thus the poor have hope, and iniquity shuts its mouth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 5:17 - "Therefore, blessed is the man whom God corrects, so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 5:19 - He will deliver you from six calamities; yes, in seven no evil will touch you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 5:20 - In time of famine he will redeem you from death, and in time of war from the power of the sword.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 5:22 - You will laugh at destruction and famine and need not be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 5:24 - And you will know that your home will be secure, and when you inspect your domains, you will not be missing anything.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 5:25 - You will also know that your children will be numerous, and your descendants like the grass of the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 5:26 - You will come to your grave in a full age, As stacks of grain are harvested in their season.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 5:27 - Look, we have investigated this, so it is true. Hear it, and apply it for your own good."
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:1 - Then Job responded:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:2 - "Oh, if only my grief could be weighed, and my misfortune laid on the scales too!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:5 - "Does the wild donkey bray when it is near grass? Or does the ox low near its fodder?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:6 - Can food that is tasteless be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:9 - And that God would be willing to crush me, that he would let loose his hand and kill me.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:14 - "To the one in despair, kindness should come from his friend even if he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:18 - Caravans turn aside from their routes; they go into the wasteland and perish.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:21 - For now you have become like these streams that are no help; you see a terror, and are afraid.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:24 - "Teach me and I, for my part, will be silent; explain to me how I have been mistaken.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:27 - Yes, you would gamble for the fatherless, and auction off your friend.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:28 - "Now then, be good enough to look at me; and I will not lie to your face!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:3 - thus I have been made to inherit months of futility, and nights of sorrow have been appointed to me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:4 - If I lie down, I say, 'When will I arise?', and the night stretches on and I toss and turn restlessly until the day dawns.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:5 - My body is clothed with worms and dirty scabs; my skin is broken and festering.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:6 - My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle and they come to an end without hope.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:13 - If I say, "My bed will comfort me, my couch will ease my complaint,"
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:15 - so that I would prefer strangling, and death more than life.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:20 - If I have sinned - what have I done to you, O watcher of men? Why have you set me as your target? Have I become a burden to you?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:21 - And why do you not pardon my transgression, and take away my iniquity? For now I will lie down in the dust, and you will seek me diligently, but I will be gone."
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:1 - Then Bildad the Shuhite spoke up and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:5 - But if you will look to God, and make your supplication to the Almighty,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:7 - Your beginning will seem so small, since your future will flourish.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:8 - "For inquire now of the former generation, and pay attention to the findings of their ancestors;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:14 - whose trust is in something futile, whose security is a spider's web.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:15 - He leans against his house but it does not hold up, he takes hold of it but it does not stand.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:17 - It wraps its roots around a heap of stones and it looks for a place among stones.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:19 - Indeed, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth others spring up.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:20 - "Surely, God does not reject a blameless man, nor does he grasp the hand of the evildoers.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:21 - He will yet fill your mouth with laughter, and your lips with gladness.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:22 - Those who hate you will be clothed with shame, and the tent of the wicked will be no more."
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:1 - Then Job answered:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:6 - he who shakes the earth out of its place so that its pillars tremble;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:7 - he who commands the sun and it does not shine and seals up the stars;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:24 - If a land has been given into the hand of a wicked man, he covers the faces of its judges; if it is not he, then who is it?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:25 - "My days are swifter than a runner, they speed by without seeing happiness.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:34 - who would take his rod away from me so that his terror would not make me afraid.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 10:3 - Is it good for you to oppress, to despise the work of your hands, while you smile on the schemes of the wicked?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 10:9 - Remember that you have made me as with the clay; will you return me to dust?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 10:11 - You clothed me with skin and flesh and knit me together with bones and sinews.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 10:12 - You gave me life and favor, and your intervention watched over my spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 10:14 - If I sinned, then you would watch me and you would not acquit me of my iniquity.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 10:16 - If I lift myself up, you hunt me as a fierce lion, and again you display your power against me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 10:17 - You bring new witnesses against me, and increase your anger against me; relief troops come against me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:1 - Then Zophar the Naamathite spoke up and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:8 - It is higher than the heavens - what can you do? It is deeper than Sheol - what can you know?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:10 - If he comes by and confines you and convenes a court, then who can prevent him?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:11 - For he knows deceitful men; when he sees evil, will he not consider it?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:12 - But an empty man will become wise, when a wild donkey's colt is born a human being.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:13 - "As for you, if you prove faithful, and if you stretch out your hands toward him,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:14 - if iniquity is in your hand - put it far away, and do not let evil reside in your tents.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:15 - For then you will lift up your face without blemish; you will be securely established and will not fear.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:17 - And life will be brighter than the noonday; though there be darkness, it will be like the morning.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:18 - And you will be secure, because there is hope; you will be protected and will take your rest in safety.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:19 - You will lie down with no one to make you afraid, and many will seek your favor.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:20 - But the eyes of the wicked fail, and escape eludes them; their one hope is to breathe their last."
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:1 - Then Job answered:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:6 - But the tents of robbers are peaceful, and those who provoke God are confident - who carry their god in their hands.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:7 - "But now, ask the animals and they will teach you, or the birds of the sky and they will tell you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:8 - Or speak to the earth and it will teach you, or let the fish of the sea declare to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:11 - Does not the ear test words, as the tongue tastes food?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:12 - Is not wisdom found among the aged? Does not long life bring understanding?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:15 - If he holds back the waters, then they dry up; if he releases them, they destroy the land.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:17 - He leads counselors away stripped and makes judges into fools.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:19 - He leads priests away stripped and overthrows the potentates.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:20 - He deprives the trusted advisers of speech and takes away the discernment of elders.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:21 - He pours contempt on noblemen and disarms the powerful.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:22 - He reveals the deep things of darkness, and brings deep shadows into the light.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:24 - He deprives the leaders of the earth of their understanding; he makes them wander in a trackless desert waste.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:25 - They grope about in darkness without light; he makes them stagger like drunkards.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 13:3 - But I wish to speak to the Almighty, and I desire to argue my case with God.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 13:5 - If only you would keep completely silent! For you, that would be wisdom.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 13:6 - "Listen now to my argument, and be attentive to my lips' contentions.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 13:7 - Will you speak wickedly on God's behalf? Will you speak deceitfully for him?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 13:8 - Will you show him partiality? Will you argue the case for God?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 13:10 - He would certainly rebuke you if you secretly showed partiality!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 13:11 - Would not his splendor terrify you and the fear he inspires fall on you?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 13:12 - Your maxims are proverbs of ashes; your defenses are defenses of clay.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 13:27 - And you put my feet in the stocks and you watch all my movements; you put marks on the soles of my feet.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:2 - He grows up like a flower and then withers away; he flees like a shadow, and does not remain.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:5 - Since man's days are determined, the number of his months is under your control; you have set his limit and he cannot pass it.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:8 - Although its roots may grow old in the ground and its stump begins to die in the soil,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:9 - at the scent of water it will flourish and put forth shoots like a new plant.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:10 - But man dies and is powerless; he expires - and where is he?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:11 - As water disappears from the sea, or a river drains away and dries up,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:12 - so man lies down and does not rise; until the heavens are no more, they will not awake nor arise from their sleep.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:15 - You will call and I - I will answer you; you will long for the creature you have made.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:21 - If his sons are honored, he does not know it; if they are brought low, he does not see it.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:22 - Only his flesh has pain for himself, and he mourns for himself."
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:1 - Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:4 - But you even break off piety, and hinder meditation before God.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:6 - Your own mouth condemns you, not I; your own lips testify against you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:8 - Do you listen in on God's secret council? Do you limit wisdom to yourself?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:13 - when you turn your rage against God and allow such words to escape from your mouth?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:15 - If God places no trust in his holy ones, if even the heavens are not pure in his eyes,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:16 - how much less man, who is abominable and corrupt, who drinks in evil like water!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:20 - All his days the wicked man suffers torment, throughout the number of the years that are stored up for the tyrant.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:21 - Terrifying sounds fill his ears; in a time of peace marauders attack him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:23 - he wanders about - food for vultures; he knows that the day of darkness is at hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:24 - Distress and anguish terrify him; they prevail against him like a king ready to launch an attack,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:25 - for he stretches out his hand against God, and vaunts himself against the Almighty,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:26 - defiantly charging against him with a thick, strong shield!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:28 - he lived in ruined towns and in houses where no one lives, where they are ready to crumble into heaps.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:30 - He will not escape the darkness; a flame will wither his shoots and he will depart by the breath of God's mouth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:33 - Like a vine he will let his sour grapes fall, and like an olive tree he will shed his blossoms.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:34 - For the company of the godless is barren, and fire consumes the tents of those who accept bribes.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:35 - They conceive trouble and bring forth evil; their belly prepares deception."
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:1 - Then Job replied:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:4 - I also could speak like you, if you were in my place; I could pile up words against you and I could shake my head at you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:5 - But I would strengthen you with my words; comfort from my lips would bring you relief.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:6 - "But if I speak, my pain is not relieved, and if I refrain from speaking - how much of it goes away?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:7 - Surely now he has worn me out, you have devastated my entire household.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:10 - People have opened their mouths against me, they have struck my cheek in scorn; they unite together against me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:11 - God abandons me to evil men, and throws me into the hands of wicked men.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:15 - I have sewed sackcloth on my skin, and buried my horn in the dust;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:16 - my face is reddened because of weeping, and on my eyelids there is a deep darkness,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:17 - although there is no violence in my hands and my prayer is pure.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:19 - Even now my witness is in heaven; my advocate is on high.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:20 - My intercessor is my friend as my eyes pour out tears to God;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:21 - and he contends with God on behalf of man as a man pleads for his friend.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:22 - For the years that lie ahead are few, and then I will go on the way of no return.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 17:1 - My spirit is broken, my days have faded out, the grave awaits me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 17:6 - He has made me a byword to people, I am the one in whose face they spit.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 17:8 - Upright men are appalled at this; the innocent man is troubled with the godless.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 17:9 - But the righteous man holds to his way, and the one with clean hands grows stronger.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 17:10 - "But turn, all of you, and come now! I will not find a wise man among you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 17:11 - My days have passed, my plans are shattered, even the desires of my heart.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 17:13 - If I hope for the grave to be my home, if I spread out my bed in darkness,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 18:1 - Then Bildad the Shuhite answered:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 18:6 - The light in his tent grows dark; his lamp above him is extinguished.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 18:7 - His vigorous steps are restricted, and his own counsel throws him down.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 18:8 - For he has been thrown into a net by his feet and he wanders into a mesh.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 18:9 - A trap seizes him by the heel; a snare grips him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 18:11 - Terrors frighten him on all sides and dog his every step.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 18:12 - Calamity is hungry for him, and misfortune is ready at his side.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 18:13 - It eats away parts of his skin; the most terrible death devours his limbs.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 18:14 - He is dragged from the security of his tent, and marched off to the king of terrors.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 18:20 - People of the west are appalled at his fate; people of the east are seized with horror, saying,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 18:21 - 'Surely such is the residence of an evil man; and this is the place of one who has not known God.'"
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:1 - Then Job answered:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:4 - But even if it were true that I have erred, my error remains solely my concern!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:5 - If indeed you would exalt yourselves above me and plead my disgrace against me,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:6 - know then that God has wronged me and encircled me with his net.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:9 - He has stripped me of my honor and has taken the crown off my head.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:10 - He tears me down on every side until I perish; he uproots my hope like one uproots a tree.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:12 - His troops advance together; they throw up a siege ramp against me, and they camp around my tent.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:13 - "He has put my relatives far from me; my acquaintances only turn away from me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:17 - My breath is repulsive to my wife; I am loathsome to my brothers.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:18 - Even youngsters have scorned me; when I get up, they scoff at me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:20 - My bones stick to my skin and my flesh; I have escaped alive with only the skin of my teeth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:22 - Why do you pursue me like God does? Will you never be satiated with my flesh?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:23 - "O that my words were written down, O that they were written on a scroll,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:28 - If you say, 'How we will pursue him, since the root of the trouble is found in him!'
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 20:1 - Then Zophar the Naamathite answered:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 20:5 - that the elation of the wicked is brief, the joy of the godless lasts but a moment.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 20:6 - Even though his stature reaches to the heavens and his head touches the clouds,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 20:7 - he will perish forever, like his own excrement; those who used to see him will say, 'Where is he?'
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 20:8 - Like a dream he flies away, never again to be found, and like a vision of the night he is put to flight.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 20:10 - His sons must recompense the poor; his own hands must return his wealth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 20:16 - He sucks the poison of serpents; the fangs of a viper kill him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 20:19 - For he has oppressed the poor and abandoned them; he has seized a house which he did not build.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 20:22 - In the fullness of his sufficiency, distress overtakes him. the full force of misery will come upon him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 20:25 - When he pulls it out and it comes out of his back, the gleaming point out of his liver, terrors come over him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 20:26 - Total darkness waits to receive his treasures; a fire which has not been kindled will consume him and devour what is left in his tent.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 20:27 - The heavens reveal his iniquity; the earth rises up against him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:1 - Then Job answered:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:3 - Bear with me and I will speak, and after I have spoken you may mock.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:7 - "Why do the wicked go on living, grow old, even increase in power?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:8 - Their children are firmly established in their presence, their offspring before their eyes.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:9 - Their houses are safe and without fear; and no rod of punishment from God is upon them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:10 - Their bulls breed without fail; their cows calve and do not miscarry.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:11 - They allow their children to run like a flock; their little ones dance about.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:13 - They live out their years in prosperity and go down to the grave in peace.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:14 - So they say to God, 'Turn away from us! We do not want to know your ways.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:16 - But their prosperity is not their own doing. The counsel of the wicked is far from me!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:17 - "How often is the lamp of the wicked extinguished? How often does their misfortune come upon them? How often does God apportion pain to them in his anger?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:18 - How often are they like straw before the wind, and like chaff swept away by a whirlwind?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:20 - Let his own eyes see his destruction; let him drink of the anger of the Almighty.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:22 - Can anyone teach God knowledge, since he judges those that are on high?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:23 - "One man dies in his full vigor, completely secure and prosperous,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:24 - his body well nourished, and the marrow of his bones moist.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:25 - And another man dies in bitterness of soul, never having tasted anything good.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:26 - Together they lie down in the dust, and worms cover over them both.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:34 - So how can you console me with your futile words? Nothing is left of your answers but deception!"
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 22:1 - Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 22:6 - "For you took pledges from your brothers for no reason, and you stripped the clothing from the naked.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 22:8 - Although you were a powerful man, owning land, an honored man living on it,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 22:9 - you sent widows away empty-handed, and the arms of the orphans you crushed.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 22:11 - why it is so dark you cannot see, and why a flood of water covers you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 22:12 - "Is not God on high in heaven? And see the lofty stars, how high they are!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 22:18 - But it was he who filled their houses with good things - yet the counsel of the wicked was far from me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 22:19 - The righteous see their destruction and rejoice; the innocent mock them scornfully, saying,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 22:22 - Accept instruction from his mouth and store up his words in your heart.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 22:23 - If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up; if you remove wicked behavior far from your tent,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 22:25 - then the Almighty himself will be your gold, and the choicest silver for you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 22:28 - Whatever you decide on a matter, it will be established for you, and light will shine on your ways.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:1 - Then Job answered:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:4 - I would lay out my case before him and fill my mouth with arguments.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:5 - I would know with what words he would answer me, and understand what he would say to me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:7 - There an upright person could present his case before him, and I would be delivered forever from my judge.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:8 - "If I go to the east, he is not there, and to the west, yet I do not perceive him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:11 - My feet have followed his steps closely; I have kept to his way and have not turned aside.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:12 - I have not departed from the commands of his lips; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my allotted portion.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:13 - But he is unchangeable, and who can change him? Whatever he has desired, he does.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:15 - That is why I am terrified in his presence; when I consider, I am afraid because of him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:16 - Indeed, God has made my heart faint; the Almighty has terrified me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:1 - "Why are times not appointed by the Almighty? Why do those who know him not see his days?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:2 - Men move boundary stones; they seize the flock and pasture them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:5 - Like wild donkeys in the desert they go out to their labor, seeking diligently for food; the wasteland provides food for them and for their children.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:6 - They reap fodder in the field, and glean in the vineyard of the wicked.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:7 - They spend the night naked because they lack clothing; they have no covering against the cold.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:9 - The fatherless child is snatched from the breast, the infant of the poor is taken as a pledge.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:10 - They go about naked, without clothing, and go hungry while they carry the sheaves.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:11 - They press out the olive oil between the rows of olive trees; they tread the winepresses while they are thirsty.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:12 - From the city the dying groan, and the wounded cry out for help, but God charges no one with wrongdoing.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:13 - There are those who rebel against the light; they do not know its ways and they do not stay on its paths.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:14 - Before daybreak the murderer rises up; he kills the poor and the needy; in the night he is like a thief.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:19 - The drought as well as the heat carry away the melted snow; so the grave takes away those who have sinned.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:20 - The womb forgets him, the worm feasts on him, no longer will he be remembered. Like a tree, wickedness will be broken down.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:22 - But God drags off the mighty by his power; when God rises up against him, he has no faith in his life.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:24 - They are exalted for a little while, and then they are gone, they are brought low like all others, and gathered in, and like a head of grain they are cut off.'
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:25 - "If this is not so, who can prove me a liar and reduce my words to nothing?"
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 25:1 - Then Bildad the Shuhite answered:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 25:3 - Can his armies be numbered? On whom does his light not rise?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 25:5 - If even the moon is not bright, and the stars are not pure as far as he is concerned,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 26:1 - Then Job replied:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 26:4 - To whom did you utter these words? And whose spirit has come forth from your mouth?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 26:12 - By his power he stills the sea; by his wisdom he cut Rahab the great sea monster to pieces.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 26:13 - By his breath the skies became fair; his hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 26:14 - Indeed, these are but the outer fringes of his ways! How faint is the whisper we hear of him! But who can understand the thunder of his power?"
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 27:1 - And Job took up his discourse again:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 27:3 - for while my spirit is still in me, and the breath from God is in my nostrils,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 27:6 - I will maintain my righteousness and never let it go; my conscience will not reproach me for as long as I live.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 27:7 - "May my enemy be like the wicked, my adversary like the unrighteous.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 27:13 - This is the portion of the wicked man allotted by God, the inheritance that evildoers receive from the Almighty.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 27:14 - If his children increase - it is for the sword! His offspring never have enough to eat.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 27:15 - Those who survive him are buried by the plague, and their widows do not mourn for them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 27:16 - If he piles up silver like dust and stores up clothing like mounds of clay,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 27:17 - what he stores up a righteous man will wear, and an innocent man will inherit his silver.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 27:18 - The house he builds is as fragile as a moth's cocoon, like a hut that a watchman has made.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 27:20 - Terrors overwhelm him like a flood; at night a whirlwind carries him off.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 28:1 - "Surely there is a mine for silver, and a place where gold is refined.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 28:2 - Iron is taken from the ground, and rock is poured out as copper.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 28:4 - Far from where people live he sinks a shaft, in places travelers have long forgotten, far from other people he dangles and sways.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 28:9 - On the flinty rock man has set to work with his hand; he has overturned mountains at their bases.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 28:10 - He has cut out channels through the rocks; his eyes have spotted every precious thing.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 28:11 - He has searched the sources of the rivers and what was hidden he has brought into the light.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 28:12 - "But wisdom - where can it be found? Where is the place of understanding?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 28:20 - "But wisdom - where does it come from? Where is the place of understanding?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 28:22 - Destruction and Death say, 'With our ears we have heard a rumor about where it can be found.'
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 28:23 - God understands the way to it, and he alone knows its place.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 28:28 - And he said to mankind, 'The fear of the LORD - that is wisdom, and to turn away from evil is understanding.'"
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:1 - Then Job continued his speech:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:6 - when my steps were bathed with butter and the rock poured out for me streams of olive oil!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:7 - When I went out to the city gate and secured my seat in the public square,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:8 - the young men would see me and step aside, and the old men would get up and remain standing;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:9 - the chief men refrained from talking and covered their mouths with their hands;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:10 - the voices of the nobles fell silent, and their tongues stuck to the roof of their mouths.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:11 - "As soon as the ear heard these things, it blessed me, and when the eye saw them, it bore witness to me,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:13 - the blessing of the dying man descended on me, and I made the widow's heart rejoice;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:14 - I put on righteousness and it clothed me, my just dealing was like a robe and a turban;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:15 - I was eyes for the blind and feet for the lame;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:17 - I broke the fangs of the wicked, and made him drop his prey from his teeth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:21 - "People listened to me and waited silently; they kept silent for my advice.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:22 - After I had spoken, they did not respond; my words fell on them drop by drop.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:1 - "But now they mock me, those who are younger than I, whose fathers I disdained too much to put with my sheep dogs.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:4 - By the brush they would gather herbs from the salt marshes, and the root of the broom tree was their food.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:9 - "And now I have become their taunt song; I have become a byword among them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:10 - They detest me and maintain their distance; they do not hesitate to spit in my face.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:17 - Night pierces my bones; my gnawing pains never cease.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:20 - I cry out to you, but you do not answer me; I stand up, and you only look at me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:25 - Have I not wept for the unfortunate? Was not my soul grieved for the poor?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:26 - But when I hoped for good, trouble came; when I expected light, then darkness came.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:28 - I go about blackened, but not by the sun; in the assembly I stand up and cry for help.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:29 - I have become a brother to jackals and a companion of ostriches.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:30 - My skin has turned dark on me; my body is hot with fever.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:31 - My harp is used for mourning and my flute for the sound of weeping.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:5 - If I have walked in falsehood, and if my foot has hastened to deceit -
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:6 - let him weigh me with honest scales; then God will discover my integrity.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:7 - If my footsteps have strayed from the way, if my heart has gone after my eyes, or if anything has defiled my hands,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:8 - then let me sow and let another eat, and let my crops be uprooted.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:10 - then let my wife turn the millstone for another man, and may other men have sexual relations with her.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:13 - "If I have disregarded the right of my male servants or my female servants when they disputed with me,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:14 - then what will I do when God confronts me in judgment; when he intervenes, how will I respond to him?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:15 - Did not the one who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same one form us in the womb?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:16 - If I have refused to give the poor what they desired, or caused the eyes of the widow to fail,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:17 - If I ate my morsel of bread myself, and did not share any of it with orphans -
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:19 - If I have seen anyone about to perish for lack of clothing, or a poor man without a coat,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:20 - whose heart did not bless me as he warmed himself with the fleece of my sheep,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:22 - then let my arm fall from the shoulder, let my arm be broken off at the socket.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:24 - "If I have put my confidence in gold or said to pure gold, 'You are my security!'
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:25 - if I have rejoiced because of the extent of my wealth, or because of the great wealth my hand had gained,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:26 - if I looked at the sun when it was shining, and the moon advancing as a precious thing,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:27 - so that my heart was secretly enticed, and my hand threw them a kiss from my mouth,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:29 - If I have rejoiced over the misfortune of my enemy or exulted because calamity found him -
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:30 - I have not even permitted my mouth to sin by asking for his life through a curse -
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:31 - if the members of my household have never said, 'If only there were someone who has not been satisfied from Job's meat!' -
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:32 - But no stranger had to spend the night outside, for I opened my doors to the traveler -
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:33 - if I have covered my transgressions as men do, by hiding iniquity in my heart,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:34 - because I was terrified of the great multitude, and the contempt of families terrified me, so that I remained silent and would not go outdoors -
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:35 - "If only I had someone to hear me! Here is my signature - let the Almighty answer me! If only I had an indictment that my accuser had written.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:38 - "If my land cried out against me and all its furrows wept together,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:39 - if I have eaten its produce without paying, or caused the death of its owners,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:40 - then let thorns sprout up in place of wheat, and in place of barley, weeds!" The words of Job are ended.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:1 - So these three men refused to answer Job further, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:2 - Then Elihu son of Barakel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, became very angry. He was angry with Job for justifying himself rather than God.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:3 - With Job's three friends he was also angry, because they could not find an answer, and so declared Job guilty.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:4 - Now Elihu had waited before speaking to Job, because the others were older than he was.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:6 - So Elihu son of Barakel the Buzite spoke up: "I am young, but you are elderly; that is why I was fearful, and afraid to explain to you what I know.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:7 - I said to myself, 'Age should speak, and length of years should make wisdom known.'
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:8 - But it is a spirit in people, the breath of the Almighty, that makes them understand.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:14 - Job has not directed his words to me, and so I will not reply to him with your arguments.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:17 - I too will answer my part, I too will explain what I know.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:19 - Inside I am like wine which has no outlet, like new wineskins ready to burst!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:22 - for I do not know how to give honorary titles, if I did, my Creator would quickly do away with me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:1 - "But now, O Job, listen to my words, and hear everything I have to say!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:3 - My words come from the uprightness of my heart, and my lips will utter knowledge sincerely.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:4 - The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:10 - Yet God finds occasions with me; he regards me as his enemy!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:11 - He puts my feet in shackles; he watches closely all my paths.'
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:14 - "For God speaks, the first time in one way, the second time in another, though a person does not perceive it.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:17 - to turn a person from his sin, and to cover a person's pride.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:18 - He spares a person's life from corruption, his very life from crossing over the river.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:19 - Or a person is chastened by pain on his bed, and with the continual strife of his bones,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:20 - so that his life loathes food, and his soul rejects appetizing fare.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:22 - He draws near to the place of corruption, and his life to the messengers of death.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:23 - If there is an angel beside him, one mediator out of a thousand, to tell a person what constitutes his uprightness;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:24 - and if God is gracious to him and says, 'Spare him from going down to the place of corruption, I have found a ransom for him,'
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:25 - then his flesh is restored like a youth's; he returns to the days of his youthful vigor.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:26 - He entreats God, and God delights in him, he sees God's face with rejoicing, and God restores to him his righteousness.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 34:1 - Elihu answered:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 34:6 - Concerning my right, should I lie? My wound is incurable, although I am without transgression.'
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 34:12 - Indeed, in truth, God does not act wickedly, and the Almighty does not pervert justice.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 34:15 - all flesh would perish together and human beings would return to dust.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 34:16 - "If you have understanding, listen to this, hear what I have to say.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 34:20 - In a moment they die, in the middle of the night, people are shaken and they pass away. The mighty are removed effortlessly.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 34:21 - For his eyes are on the ways of an individual, he observes all a person's steps.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 34:26 - He strikes them for their wickedness, in a place where people can see,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 34:27 - because they have turned away from following him, and have not understood any of his ways,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 34:34 - Men of understanding say to me - any wise man listening to me says -
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 34:35 - that Job speaks without knowledge and his words are without understanding.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 34:36 - But Job will be tested to the end, because his answers are like those of wicked men.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 34:37 - For he adds transgression to his sin; in our midst he claps his hands, and multiplies his words against God."
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 35:1 - Then Elihu answered:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 35:5 - Gaze at the heavens and see; consider the clouds, which are higher than you!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 35:6 - If you sin, how does it affect God? If your transgressions are many, what does it do to him?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 35:7 - If you are righteous, what do you give to God, or what does he receive from your hand?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 35:11 - who teaches us more than the wild animals of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?'
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 35:14 - How much less, then, when you say that you do not perceive him, that the case is before him and you are waiting for him!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 36:1 - Elihu said further:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 36:5 - Indeed, God is mighty; and he does not despise people, he is mighty, and firm in his intent.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 36:12 - But if they refuse to listen, they pass over the river of death, and expire without knowledge.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 36:14 - They die in their youth, and their life ends among the male cultic prostitutes.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 36:15 - He delivers the afflicted by their afflictions, he reveals himself to them by their suffering.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 36:17 - But now you are preoccupied with the judgment due the wicked, judgment and justice take hold of you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 36:18 - Be careful that no one entices you with riches; do not let a large bribe turn you aside.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 36:27 - He draws up drops of water; they distill the rain into its mist,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 36:28 - which the clouds pour down and shower on humankind abundantly.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 37:8 - The wild animals go to their lairs, and in their dens they remain.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 37:9 - A tempest blows out from its chamber, icy cold from the driving winds.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 37:10 - The breath of God produces ice, and the breadth of the waters freeze solid.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 37:16 - Do you know about the balancing of the clouds, that wondrous activity of him who is perfect in knowledge?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 37:17 - You, whose garments are hot when the earth is still because of the south wind,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 37:24 - Therefore people fear him, for he does not regard all the wise in heart."
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:1 - Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:2 - "Who is this who darkens counsel with words without knowledge?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:8 - "Who shut up the sea with doors when it burst forth, coming out of the womb,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:9 - when I made the storm clouds its garment, and thick darkness its swaddling band,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:10 - when I prescribed its limits, and set in place its bolts and doors,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:11 - when I said, 'To here you may come and no farther, here your proud waves will be confined'?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:12 - Have you ever in your life commanded the morning, or made the dawn know its place,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:15 - Then from the wicked the light is withheld, and the arm raised in violence is broken.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:16 - Have you gone to the springs that fill the sea, or walked about in the recesses of the deep?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:17 - Have the gates of death been revealed to you? Have you seen the gates of deepest darkness?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:18 - Have you considered the vast expanses of the earth? Tell me, if you know it all!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:19 - "In what direction does light reside, and darkness, where is its place,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:20 - that you may take them to their borders and perceive the pathways to their homes?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:21 - You know, for you were born before them; and the number of your days is great!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:22 - Have you entered the storehouse of the snow, or seen the armory of the hail,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:24 - In what direction is lightning dispersed, or the east winds scattered over the earth?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:25 - Who carves out a channel for the heavy rains, and a path for the rumble of thunder,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:29 - From whose womb does the ice emerge, and the frost from the sky, who gives birth to it,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:30 - when the waters become hard like stone, when the surface of the deep is frozen solid?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:31 - Can you tie the bands of the Pleiades, or release the cords of Orion?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:33 - Do you know the laws of the heavens, or can you set up their rule over the earth?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:34 - Can you raise your voice to the clouds so that a flood of water covers you?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:35 - Can you send out lightning bolts, and they go? Will they say to you, 'Here we are'?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:36 - Who has put wisdom in the heart, or has imparted understanding to the mind?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:37 - Who by wisdom can count the clouds, and who can tip over the water jars of heaven,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:38 - when the dust hardens into a mass, and the clumps of earth stick together?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:39 - "Do you hunt prey for the lioness, and satisfy the appetite of the lions,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:40 - when they crouch in their dens, when they wait in ambush in the thicket?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:41 - Who prepares prey for the raven, when its young cry out to God and wander about for lack of food?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:1 - "Are you acquainted with the way the mountain goats give birth? Do you watch as the wild deer give birth to their young?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:2 - Do you count the months they must fulfill, and do you know the time they give birth?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:3 - They crouch, they bear their young, they bring forth the offspring they have carried.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:5 - Who let the wild donkey go free? Who released the bonds of the donkey,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:6 - to whom I appointed the steppe for its home, the salt wastes as its dwelling place?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:7 - It scorns the tumult in the town; it does not hear the shouts of a driver.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:10 - Can you bind the wild ox to a furrow with its rope, will it till the valleys, following after you?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:11 - Will you rely on it because its strength is great? Will you commit your labor to it?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:12 - Can you count on it to bring in your grain, and gather the grain to your threshing floor?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:19 - "Do you give the horse its strength? Do you clothe its neck with a mane?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:20 - Do you make it leap like a locust? Its proud neighing is terrifying!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:21 - It paws the ground in the valley, exulting mightily, it goes out to meet the weapons.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:25 - At the sound of the trumpet, it says, 'Aha!' And from a distance it catches the scent of battle, the thunderous shouting of commanders, and the battle cries.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:26 - "Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars, and spreads its wings toward the south?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:27 - Is it at your command that the eagle soars, and builds its nest on high?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:30 - And its young ones devour the blood, and where the dead carcasses are, there it is."
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 40:3 - Then Job answered the LORD:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 40:4 - "Indeed, I am completely unworthy - how could I reply to you? I put my hand over my mouth to silence myself.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 40:5 - I have spoken once, but I cannot answer; twice, but I will say no more."
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 40:6 - Then the LORD answered Job from the whirlwind:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 40:10 - Adorn yourself, then, with majesty and excellency, and clothe yourself with glory and honor!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 40:11 - Scatter abroad the abundance of your anger. Look at every proud man and bring him low;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 40:12 - Look at every proud man and abase him; crush the wicked on the spot!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 40:13 - Hide them in the dust together, imprison them in the grave.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 40:16 - Look at its strength in its loins, and its power in the muscles of its belly.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 40:17 - It makes its tail stiff like a cedar, the sinews of its thighs are tightly wound.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 40:18 - Its bones are tubes of bronze, its limbs like bars of iron.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 40:20 - For the hills bring it food, where all the wild animals play.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 40:22 - The lotus trees conceal it in their shadow; the poplars by the stream conceal it.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:1 - (40:25) "Can you pull in Leviathan with a hook, and tie down its tongue with a rope?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:2 - Can you put a cord through its nose, or pierce its jaw with a hook?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:4 - Will it make a pact with you, so you could take it as your slave for life?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:5 - Can you play with it, like a bird, or tie it on a leash for your girls?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:6 - Will partners bargain for it? Will they divide it up among the merchants?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:7 - Can you fill its hide with harpoons or its head with fishing spears?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:8 - If you lay your hand on it, you will remember the fight, and you will never do it again!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:13 - Who can uncover its outer covering? Who can penetrate to the inside of its armor?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:15 - Its back has rows of shields, shut up closely together as with a seal;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:16 - each one is so close to the next that no air can come between them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:18 - Its snorting throws out flashes of light; its eyes are like the red glow of dawn.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:21 - Its breath sets coals ablaze and a flame shoots from its mouth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:22 - Strength lodges in its neck, and despair runs before it.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:23 - The folds of its flesh are tightly joined; they are firm on it, immovable.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:24 - Its heart is hard as rock, hard as a lower millstone.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:25 - When it rises up, the mighty are terrified, at its thrashing about they withdraw.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:27 - It regards iron as straw and bronze as rotten wood.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:29 - A club is counted as a piece of straw; it laughs at the rattling of the lance.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:30 - Its underparts are the sharp points of potsherds, it leaves its mark in the mud like a threshing sledge.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:31 - It makes the deep boil like a cauldron and stirs up the sea like a pot of ointment,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:32 - It leaves a glistening wake behind it; one would think the deep had a head of white hair.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:34 - It looks on every haughty being; it is king over all that are proud."
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 42:1 - Then Job answered the LORD:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 42:3 - you asked, 'Who is this who darkens counsel without knowledge?' But I have declared without understanding things too wonderful for me to know.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 42:5 - I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye has seen you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 42:6 - Therefore I despise myself, and I repent in dust and ashes! VII. The Epilogue (42:7-17)
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 42:7 - After the LORD had spoken these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "My anger is stirred up against you and your two friends, because you have not spoken about me what is right, as my servant Job has.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 42:8 - So now take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and offer a burnt offering for yourselves. And my servant Job will intercede for you, and I will respect him, so that I do not deal with you according to your folly, because you have not spoken about me what is right, as my servant Job has."
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 42:9 - So they went, Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, and did just as the LORD had told them; and the LORD had respect for Job.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 42:10 - So the LORD restored what Job had lost after he prayed for his friends, and the LORD doubled all that had belonged to Job.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 42:11 - So they came to him, all his brothers and sisters and all who had known him before, and they dined with him in his house. They comforted him and consoled him for all the trouble the LORD had brought on him, and each one gave him a piece of silver and a gold ring.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 42:12 - So the LORD blessed the second part of Job's life more than the first. He had 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 42:13 - And he also had seven sons and three daughters.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 42:14 - The first daughter he named Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-Happuch.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 42:15 - Nowhere in all the land could women be found who were as beautiful as Job's daughters, and their father granted them an inheritance alongside their brothers.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 42:16 - After this Job lived 140 years; he saw his children and their children to the fourth generation.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 42:17 - And so Job died, old and full of days.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 2:6 - "I myself have installed my king on Zion, my holy hill."
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 5:7 - But as for me, because of your great faithfulness I will enter your house; I will bow down toward your holy temple as I worship you.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 6:5 - For no one remembers you in the realm of death, In Sheol who gives you thanks?
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 8:7 - including all the sheep and cattle, as well as the wild animals,
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 11:3 - When the foundations are destroyed, what can the godly accomplish?"
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 11:5 - The LORD approves of the godly, but he hates the wicked and those who love to do violence.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 13:5 - But I trust in your faithfulness. May I rejoice because of your deliverance!
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 15:4 - He despises a reprobate, but honors the LORD's loyal followers. He makes firm commitments and does not renege on his promise.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 16:7 - I will praise the LORD who guides me; yes, during the night I reflect and learn.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 16:9 - So my heart rejoices and I am happy; My life is safe.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 17:15 - As for me, because I am innocent I will see your face; when I awake you will reveal yourself to me.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 19:1 - The heavens declare the glory of God; the sky displays his handiwork.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 20:7 - Some trust in chariots and others in horses, but we depend on the LORD our God.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 20:8 - They will fall down, but we will stand firm.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 22:3 - You are holy; you sit as king receiving the praises of Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 22:17 - I can count all my bones; my enemies are gloating over me in triumph.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 26:11 - But I have integrity! Rescue me and have mercy on me!
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 27:10 - Even if my father and mother abandoned me, the LORD would take me in.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 28:3 - Do not drag me away with evil men, with those who behave wickedly, who talk so friendly to their neighbors, while they plan to harm them!
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 30:6 - In my self-confidence I said, "I will never be upended."
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 30:7 - O LORD, in your good favor you made me secure. Then you rejected me and I was terrified.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 31:6 - I hate those who serve worthless idols, but I trust in the LORD.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 31:14 - But I trust in you, O LORD! I declare, "You are my God!"
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 31:22 - I jumped to conclusions and said, "I am cut off from your presence!" But you heard my plea for mercy when I cried out to you for help.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 32:10 - An evil person suffers much pain, but the LORD's faithfulness overwhelms the one who trusts in him.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 33:8 - Let the whole earth fear the LORD! Let all who live in the world stand in awe of him!
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 33:10 - The LORD frustrates the decisions of the nations; he nullifies the plans of the peoples.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 33:11 - The LORD's decisions stand forever; his plans abide throughout the ages.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 33:17 - A horse disappoints those who trust in it for victory; despite its great strength, it cannot deliver.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 34:10 - Even young lions sometimes lack food and are hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 34:16 - But the LORD opposes evildoers and wipes out all memory of them from the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 35:9 - Then I will rejoice in the LORD and be happy because of his deliverance.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 35:13 - When they were sick, I wore sackcloth, and refrained from eating food. (If I am lying, may my prayers go unanswered!)
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 36:4 - He plans ways to sin while he lies in bed; he is committed to a sinful lifestyle; he does not reject what is evil.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 36:7 - How precious is your loyal love, O God! The human race finds shelter under your wings.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 37:9 - Wicked men will be wiped out, but those who rely on the LORD are the ones who will possess the land.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 37:11 - But the oppressed will possess the land and enjoy great prosperity.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 37:13 - The Lord laughs in disgust at them, for he knows that their day is coming.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 37:17 - for evil men will lose their power, but the LORD sustains the godly.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 37:20 - But evil men will die; the LORD's enemies will be incinerated - they will go up in smoke.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 37:21 - Evil men borrow, but do not repay their debt, but the godly show compassion and are generous.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 37:22 - Surely those favored by the LORD will possess the land, but those rejected by him will be wiped out.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 37:28 - For the LORD promotes justice, and never abandons his faithful followers. They are permanently secure, but the children of evil men are wiped out.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 37:29 - The godly will possess the land and will dwell in it permanently.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 37:33 - But the LORD does not surrender the godly, or allow them to be condemned in a court of law.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 37:38 - Sinful rebels are totally destroyed; evil men have no future.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 37:39 - But the LORD delivers the godly; he protects them in times of trouble.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 38:13 - But I am like a deaf man - I hear nothing; I am like a mute who cannot speak.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 38:19 - But those who are my enemies for no reason are numerous; those who hate me without cause outnumber me.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 40:6 - Receiving sacrifices and offerings are not your primary concern. You make that quite clear to me! You do not ask for burnt sacrifices and sin offerings.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 40:17 - I am oppressed and needy! May the Lord pay attention to me! You are my helper and my deliverer! O my God, do not delay!
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 41:12 - As for me, you uphold me because of my integrity; you allow me permanent access to your presence.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 44:9 - But you rejected and embarrassed us! You did not go into battle with our armies.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 50:8 - I am not condemning you because of your sacrifices, or because of your burnt sacrifices that you continually offer me.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 50:16 - God says this to the evildoer: "How can you declare my commands, and talk about my covenant?
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 50:17 - For you hate instruction and reject my words.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 52:8 - But I am like a flourishing olive tree in the house of God; I continually trust in God's loyal love.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 55:16 - As for me, I will call out to God, and the LORD will deliver me.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 55:23 - But you, O God, will bring them down to the deep Pit. Violent and deceitful people will not live even half a normal lifespan. But as for me, I trust in you.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 56:3 - When I am afraid, I trust in you.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 59:15 - They wander around looking for something to eat; they refuse to sleep until they are full.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 59:16 - As for me, I will sing about your strength; I will praise your loyal love in the morning. For you are my refuge and my place of shelter when I face trouble.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 60:12 - By God's power we will conquer; he will trample down our enemies.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 63:9 - Enemies seek to destroy my life, but they will descend into the depths of the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 63:11 - But the king will rejoice in God; everyone who takes oaths in his name will boast, for the mouths of those who speak lies will be shut up.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 68:9 - O God, you cause abundant showers to fall on your chosen people. When they are tired, you sustain them,
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 69:13 - O LORD, may you hear my prayer and be favorably disposed to me! O God, because of your great loyal love, answer me with your faithful deliverance!
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 70:5 - I am oppressed and needy! O God, hurry to me! You are my helper and my deliverer! O LORD, do not delay!
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 71:14 - As for me, I will wait continually, and will continue to praise you.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 71:24 - All day long my tongue will also tell about your justice, for those who want to harm me will be embarrassed and ashamed.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 73:2 - But as for me, my feet almost slipped; my feet almost slid out from under me.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 73:28 - But as for me, God's presence is all I need. I have made the sovereign LORD my shelter, as I declare all the things you have done.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 74:12 - But God has been my king from ancient times, performing acts of deliverance on the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 75:9 - As for me, I will continually tell what you have done; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob!
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 78:37 - They were not really committed to him, and they were unfaithful to his covenant.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 79:13 - Then we, your people, the sheep of your pasture, will continually thank you. We will tell coming generations of your praiseworthy acts.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 82:1 - God stands in the assembly of El; in the midst of the gods he renders judgment.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 82:7 - Yet you will die like mortals; you will fall like all the other rulers."

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 8:2 - At the top of the elevated places along the way, at the intersection of the paths she takes her stand;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 8:3 - beside the gates opening into the city, at the entrance of the doorways she cries out:

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 8:7 - For my mouth speaks truth, and my lips hate wickedness.
