He said to them, “The LORD would have to be with you if I would ever let you and your families go! Look out ​— ​you're heading for trouble.

“When the LORD passes through to strike Egypt and sees the blood on the lintel and the two doorposts, he will pass over the door and not let the destroyer enter your houses to strike you.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:25 -

“When you enter the land that the LORD will give you as he promised, you are to observe this ceremony.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:28 -

Then the Israelites went and did this; they did just as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:29 -

Now at midnight the LORD struck every firstborn male in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the prisoner who was in the dungeon, and every firstborn of the livestock.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:36 -

And the LORD gave the people such favor with the Egyptians that they gave them what they requested. In this way they plundered the Egyptians.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:43 -

The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the statute of the Passover: no foreigner may eat it.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:50 -

Then all the Israelites did this; they did just as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:51 -

On that same day the LORD brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt according to their military divisions.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 13:1 -

The LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 13:3 -

Then Moses said to the people, “Remember this day when you came out of Egypt, out of the place of slavery, for the LORD brought you out of here by the strength of his hand. Nothing leavened may be eaten.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 13:5 -

“When the LORD brings you into the land of the Canaanites, Hethites, Amorites, Hivites, and Jebusites,[fn] which he swore to your ancestors that he would give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, you must carry out this ceremony in this month.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 13:8 -

“On that day explain to your son, ‘This is because of what the LORD did for me when I came out of Egypt.'

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 13:9 -

“Let it serve as a sign for you on your hand and as a reminder on your forehead,[fn] so that the LORD's instruction may be in your mouth; for the LORD brought you out of Egypt with a strong hand.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 13:11 -

“When the LORD brings you into the land of the Canaanites, as he swore to you and your ancestors, and gives it to you,

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 13:14 -

“In the future, when your son asks you, ‘What does this mean? ' say to him, ‘By the strength of his hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt, out of the place of slavery.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 13:16 -

“So let it be a sign on your hand and a symbol[fn] on your forehead, for the LORD brought us out of Egypt by the strength of his hand.”

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 13:19 -

Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, because Joseph had made the Israelites swear a solemn oath, saying, “God will certainly come to your aid; then you must take my bones with you from this place.”

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 14:1 -

Then the LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 14:4 -

“I will harden Pharaoh's heart so that he will pursue them. Then I will receive glory by means of Pharaoh and all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD.” So the Israelites did this.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 14:8 -

The LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued the Israelites, who were going out defiantly.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 14:14 -

“The LORD will fight for you, and you must be quiet.”

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 14:15 -

The LORD said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to me? Tell the Israelites to break camp.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 14:18 -

“The Egyptians will know that I am the LORD when I receive glory through Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.”

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 14:21 -

Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea. The LORD drove the sea back with a powerful east wind all that night and turned the sea into dry land. So the waters were divided,

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 14:24 -

During the morning watch, the LORD looked down at the Egyptian forces from the pillar of fire and cloud, and threw the Egyptian forces into confusion.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 14:25 -

He caused their chariot wheels to swerve[fn][fn] and made them drive[fn] with difficulty. “Let's get away from Israel,” the Egyptians said, “because the LORD is fighting for them against Egypt! ”

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 14:26 -

Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea so that the water may come back on the Egyptians, on their chariots and horsemen.”

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 14:27 -

So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and at daybreak the sea returned to its normal depth. While the Egyptians were trying to escape from it, the LORD threw them into the sea.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 14:30 -

That day the LORD saved Israel from the power of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 14:31 -

When Israel saw the great power that the LORD used against the Egyptians, the people feared the LORD and believed in him and in his servant Moses.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 15:3 -

The LORD is a warrior;

the LORD is his name.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 15:18 -

The LORD will reign forever and ever!

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 15:19 -

When Pharaoh's horses with his chariots and horsemen went into the sea, the LORD brought the water of the sea back over them. But the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 15:25 -

So he cried out to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a tree. When he threw it into the water, the water became drinkable.

The LORD made a statute and ordinance for them at Marah, and he tested them there.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 15:26 -

He said, “If you will carefully obey the LORD your God, do what is right in his sight, pay attention to his commands, and keep all his statutes, I will not inflict any illnesses on you that I inflicted on the Egyptians. For I am the LORD who heals you.”

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 16:4 -

Then the LORD said to Moses, “I am going to rain bread from heaven for you. The people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day. This way I will test them to see whether or not they will follow my instructions.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 16:6 -

So Moses and Aaron said to all the Israelites, “This evening you will know that it was the LORD who brought you out of the land of Egypt,

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 16:11 -

The LORD spoke to Moses,

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 16:12 -

“I have heard the complaints of the Israelites. Tell them: At twilight you will eat meat, and in the morning you will eat bread until you are full. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God.”

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 16:15 -

When the Israelites saw it, they asked one another, “What is it? ” because they didn't know what it was.

Moses told them, “It is the bread the LORD has given you to eat.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 16:16 -

“This is what the LORD has commanded: ‘Gather as much of it as each person needs to eat. You may take two quarts[fn] per individual, according to the number of people each of you has in his tent.' ”

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 16:23 -

He told them, “This is what the LORD has said: ‘Tomorrow is a day of complete rest, a holy Sabbath to the LORD. Bake what you want to bake, and boil what you want to boil, and set aside everything left over to be kept until morning.' ”

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 16:28 -

Then the LORD said to Moses, “How long will you[fn] refuse to keep my commands and instructions?

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 16:29 -

“Understand that the LORD has given you the Sabbath; therefore on the sixth day he will give you two days' worth of bread. Each of you stay where you are; no one is to leave his place on the seventh day.”

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 16:32 -

Moses said, “This is what the LORD has commanded: ‘Two quarts[fn] of it are to be preserved throughout your generations, so that they may see the bread I fed you in the wilderness when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.' ”

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 16:34 -

As the LORD commanded Moses, Aaron placed it before the testimony to be preserved.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 17:5 -

The LORD answered Moses, “Go on ahead of the people and take some of the elders of Israel with you. Take the staff you struck the Nile with in your hand and go.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 17:7 -

He named the place Massah[fn] and Meribah[fn] because the Israelites complained, and because they tested the LORD, saying, “Is the LORD among us or not? ”

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 17:14 -

The LORD then said to Moses, “Write this down on a scroll as a reminder and recite it to Joshua: I will completely blot out the memory of Amalek under heaven.”

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 17:16 -

He said, “Indeed, my hand is lifted up toward[fn] the LORD's throne. The LORD will be at war with Amalek from generation to generation.”

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 18:1 -

Moses's father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Midian, heard about everything that God had done for Moses and for God's people Israel when the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 18:8 -

Moses recounted to his father-in-law all that the LORD had done to Pharaoh and the Egyptians for Israel's sake, all the hardships that confronted them on the way, and how the LORD rescued them.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 18:9 -

Jethro rejoiced over all the good things the LORD had done for Israel when he rescued them from the power of the Egyptians.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 18:10 -

“Blessed be the LORD,” Jethro exclaimed, “who rescued you from the power of Egypt and from the power of Pharaoh. He has rescued the people from under the power of Egypt!

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 18:11 -

“Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods, because he did wonders when the Egyptians acted arrogantly against Israel.”[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 19:9 -

The LORD said to Moses, “I am going to come to you in a dense cloud, so that the people will hear when I speak with you and will always believe you.” Moses reported the people's words to the LORD,

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 19:10 -

and the LORD told Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow. They must wash their clothes

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 19:11 -

“and be prepared by the third day, for on the third day the LORD will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 19:20 -

The LORD came down on Mount Sinai at the top of the mountain. Then the LORD summoned Moses to the top of the mountain, and he went up.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 19:22 -

“Even the priests who come near the LORD must consecrate themselves, or the LORD will break out in anger against them.”

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 19:24 -

And the LORD replied to him, “Go down and come back with Aaron. But the priests and the people must not break through to come up to the LORD, or he will break out in anger against them.”

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 20:1 -

Then God spoke all these words:

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 20:2 -

I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the place of slavery.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 20:5 -

Do not bow in worship to them, and do not serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, bringing the consequences of the fathers' iniquity on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate me,

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 20:7 -

Do not misuse the name of the LORD your God, because the LORD will not leave anyone unpunished who misuses his name.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 20:11 -

For the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and everything in them in six days; then he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and declared it holy.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 20:12 -

Honor your father and your mother so that you may have a long life in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 20:22 -

Then the LORD told Moses, “This is what you are to say to the Israelites: You have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 21:4 -

“If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children belong to her master, and the man must leave alone.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 21:6 -

“his master is to bring him to the judges[fn] and then bring him to the door or doorpost. His master will pierce his ear with an awl, and he will serve his master for life.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 21:28 -

“When an ox[fn] gores a man or a woman to death, the ox must be stoned, and its meat may not be eaten, but the ox's owner is innocent.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 21:29 -

“However, if the ox was in the habit of goring, and its owner has been warned yet does not restrain it, and it kills a man or a woman, the ox must be stoned, and its owner must also be put to death.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 21:34 -

“the owner of the pit must give compensation; he must pay to its owner, but the dead animal will become his.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 22:8 -

“If the thief is not caught, the owner of the house must present himself to the judges[fn] to determine[fn] whether or not he has taken his neighbor's property.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 22:11 -

“there must be an oath before the LORD between the two of them to determine whether or not he has taken his neighbor's property. Its owner must accept the oath, and the other man does not have to make restitution.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 22:14 -

“When a man borrows an animal from his neighbor, and it is injured or dies while its owner is not there with it, the man must make full restitution.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 22:15 -

“If its owner is there with it, the man does not have to make restitution. If it was rented, the loss is covered by[fn] its rental price.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 24:3 -

Moses came and told the people all the commands of the LORD and all the ordinances. Then all the people responded with a single voice, “We will do everything that the LORD has commanded.”

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 24:7 -

He then took the covenant scroll and read it aloud to the people. They responded, “We will do and obey all that the LORD has commanded.”

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 24:8 -

Moses took the blood, splattered it on the people, and said, “This is the blood of the covenant that the LORD has made with you concerning all these words.”

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 24:12 -

The LORD said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain and stay there so that I may give you the stone tablets with the law and commandments I have written for their instruction.”

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 24:16 -

The glory of the LORD settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days. On the seventh day he called to Moses from the cloud.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 25:1 -

The LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 29:46 -

“And they will know that I am the LORD their God, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, so that I might dwell among them. I am the LORD their God.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 30:11 -

The LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 30:17 -

The LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 30:22 -

The LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 30:34 -

The LORD said to Moses, “Take fragrant spices: stacte, onycha, and galbanum; the spices and pure frankincense are to be in equal measures.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 31:1 -

The LORD also spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 31:12 -

The LORD said to Moses,

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 31:13 -

“Tell the Israelites: You must observe my Sabbaths, for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, so that you will know that I am the LORD who consecrates you.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 31:17 -

“It is a sign forever between me and the Israelites, for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, but on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.”

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 32:7 -

The LORD spoke to Moses: “Go down at once! For your people you brought up from the land of Egypt have acted corruptly.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 32:14 -

So the LORD relented concerning the disaster he had said he would bring on his people.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 32:27 -

He told them, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘Every man fasten his sword to his side; go back and forth through the camp from entrance to entrance, and each of you kill his brother, his friend, and his neighbor.' ”

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 32:33 -

The LORD replied to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me I will erase from my book.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 32:35 -

And the LORD inflicted a plague on the people for what they did with the calf Aaron had made.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 33:1 -

The LORD spoke to Moses: “Go up from here, you and the people you brought up from the land of Egypt, to the land I promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying: I will give it to your offspring.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 33:5 -

For the LORD said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites: You are a stiff-necked people. If I went up with you for a single moment, I would destroy you. Now take off your jewelry, and I will decide what to do with you.”

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 33:11 -

The LORD would speak with Moses face to face, just as a man speaks with his friend, then Moses would return to the camp. His assistant, the young man Joshua son of Nun, would not leave the inside of the tent.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 33:17 -

The LORD answered Moses, “I will do this very thing you have asked, for you have found favor with me, and I know you by name.”

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 33:19 -

He said, “I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim the name ‘the LORD' before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.”

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 33:21 -

The LORD said, “Here is a place near me. You are to stand on the rock,

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 34:1 -

The LORD said to Moses, “Cut two stone tablets like the first ones, and I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 34:4 -

Moses cut two stone tablets like the first ones. He got up early in the morning, and taking the two stone tablets in his hand, he climbed Mount Sinai, just as the LORD had commanded him.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 34:5 -

The LORD came down in a cloud, stood with him there, and proclaimed his name, “the LORD.”

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 34:6 -

The LORD passed in front of him and proclaimed:

The LORD ​— ​the LORD is a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger and abounding in faithful love and truth,

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 34:10 -

And the LORD responded, “Look, I am making a covenant. In the presence of all your people I will perform wonders that have never been done[fn] in the whole earth or in any nation. All the people you live among will see the LORD's work, for what I am doing with you is awe-inspiring.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 34:14 -

“Because the LORD is jealous for his reputation, you are never to bow down to another god.[fn] He is a jealous God.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 34:27 -

The LORD also said to Moses, “Write down these words, for I have made a covenant with you and with Israel based on these words.”

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 34:32 -

Afterward all the Israelites came near, and he commanded them to do everything the LORD had told him on Mount Sinai.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 34:34 -

But whenever Moses went before the LORD to speak with him, he would remove the veil until he came out. After he came out, he would tell the Israelites what he had been commanded,

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 35:1 -

Moses assembled the entire Israelite community and said to them, “These are the things that the LORD has commanded you to do:

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 35:3 -

“Do not light a fire in any of your homes on the Sabbath day.”

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 35:4 -

Then Moses said to the entire Israelite community, “This is what the LORD has commanded:

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 35:10 -

“Let all the skilled artisans[fn] among you come and make everything that the LORD has commanded:

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 35:29 -

So the Israelites brought a freewill offering to the LORD, all the men and women whose hearts prompted them to bring something for all the work that the LORD, through Moses, had commanded to be done.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 36:1 -

Bezalel, Oholiab, and all the skilled[fn] people are to work based on everything the LORD has commanded. The LORD has given them wisdom and understanding to know how to do all the work of constructing the sanctuary.”

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 36:5 -

and said to Moses, “The people are bringing more than is needed for the construction of the work the LORD commanded to be done.”

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 38:22 -

Bezalel son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made everything that the LORD commanded Moses.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 39:1 -

They made specially woven[fn] garments for ministry in the sanctuary, and the holy garments for Aaron from the blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 39:5 -

The artistically woven waistband that was on the ephod was of one piece with the ephod, according to the same workmanship of gold, of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and of finely spun linen, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 39:7 -

He fastened them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as memorial stones for the Israelites, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 39:21 -

Then they tied the breastpiece from its rings to the rings of the ephod with a cord of blue yarn, so that the breastpiece was above the ephod's waistband and did not come loose from the ephod. They did just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 39:26 -

a bell and a pomegranate alternating all around the lower hem of the robe[fn] to be worn for ministry. They made it just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 39:29 -

and the sash of finely spun linen expertly embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn. They did just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 39:31 -

They attached a cord of blue yarn to it in order to mount it on the turban, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 39:32 -

So all the work for the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, was finished. The Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 39:42 -

The Israelites had done all the work according to everything the LORD had commanded Moses.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 39:43 -

Moses inspected all the work they had accomplished. They had done just as the LORD commanded. Then Moses blessed them.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 40:1 -

The LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 40:16 -

Moses did everything just as the LORD had commanded him.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 40:19 -

Then he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering of the tent on top of it, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 40:21 -

He brought the ark into the tabernacle, put up the curtain for the screen, and screened off the ark of the testimony, just as the LORD had commanded him.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 40:23 -

He arranged the bread on it before the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded him.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 40:25 -

and set up the lamps before the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded him.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 40:27 -

and burned fragrant incense on it, just as the LORD had commanded him.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 40:30 -

He set the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar and put water in it for washing.

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 1:1 -

Then the LORD summoned Moses and spoke to him from the tent of meeting:

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 4:1 -

Then the LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 5:14 -

Then the LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 6:1 -

The LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 6:8 -

The LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 6:19 -

The LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 6:24 -

The LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 7:22 -

The LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 7:28 -

The LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 7:36 -

The LORD commanded this to be given to them by the Israelites on the day he anointed them. It is a permanent portion throughout their generations.

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 7:38 -

which the LORD commanded Moses on Mount Sinai on the day he commanded the Israelites to present their offerings to the LORD in the Wilderness of Sinai.

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 8:1 -

The LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 8:4 -

So Moses did as the LORD commanded him, and the community assembled at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 8:5 -

Moses said to them, “This is what the LORD has commanded to be done.”

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 8:9 -

He also put the turban on his head and placed the gold medallion, the holy diadem, on the front of the turban, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 8:13 -

Then Moses presented Aaron's sons, clothed them with tunics, wrapped sashes around them, and fastened headbands on them, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 8:17 -

He burned the bull with its hide, flesh, and waste outside the camp, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 8:21 -

but he washed the entrails and legs with water. He then burned the entire ram on the altar. It was a burnt offering for a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the LORD as he had commanded Moses.

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 8:29 -

He also took the breast and presented it before the LORD as a presentation offering; it was Moses's portion of the ordination ram as the LORD had commanded him.

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 8:34 -

“The LORD commanded what has been done today in order to make atonement for you.

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 8:35 -

“You must remain at the entrance to the tent of meeting day and night for seven days and keep the LORD's charge so that you will not die, for this is what I was commanded.”

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 8:36 -

So Aaron and his sons did everything the LORD had commanded through Moses.

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 9:4 -

“an ox and a ram for a fellowship offering to sacrifice before the LORD; and a grain offering mixed with oil. For today the LORD is going to appear to you.”

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 9:6 -

Moses said, “This is what the LORD commanded you to do, that the glory of the LORD may appear to you.”

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 9:7 -

Then Moses said to Aaron, “Approach the altar and sacrifice your sin offering and your burnt offering; make atonement for yourself and the people.[fn] Sacrifice the people's offering and make atonement for them, as the LORD commanded.”

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 9:10 -

He burned the fat, the kidneys, and the fatty lobe of the liver from the sin offering on the altar, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 9:21 -

but he presented the breasts and the right thigh as a presentation offering before the LORD, as Moses had commanded.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 10:1 -

Aaron's sons Nadab and Abihu each took his own firepan, put fire in it, placed incense on it, and presented unauthorized fire before the LORD, which he had not commanded them to do.

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 10:3 -

Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the LORD has spoken:

I will demonstrate my holiness[fn]

to those who are near me,

and I will reveal my glory[fn]

before all the people.”

And Aaron remained silent.

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 10:8 -

The LORD spoke to Aaron:

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 10:11 -

“and teach the Israelites all the statutes that the LORD has given to them through Moses.”

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 10:15 -

“They are to bring the thigh of the contribution and the breast of the presentation offering, together with the food offerings of the fat portions, to present as a presentation offering before the LORD. It will belong permanently to you and your children, as the LORD commanded.”

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 10:18 -

“Since its blood was not brought inside the sanctuary, you should have eaten it in the sanctuary area, as I commanded.”

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 11:1 -

The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron:

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 11:44 -

“For I am the LORD your God, so you must consecrate yourselves and be holy because I am holy. Do not defile yourselves by any swarming creature that crawls on the ground.

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 11:45 -

“For I am the LORD, who brought you up from the land of Egypt to be your God, so you must be holy because I am holy.

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 12:1 -

The LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 13:1 -

The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron:

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 14:1 -

The LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 14:33 -

The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron:

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 19:23 -

“When you come into the land and plant any kind of tree for food, you are to consider the fruit forbidden.[fn] It will be forbidden to you for three years; it is not to be eaten.

“You are to have honest balances, honest weights, an honest dry measure,[fn] and an honest liquid measure;[fn] I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 19:37 -

“Keep all my statutes and all my ordinances and do them; I am the LORD.”

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 20:1 -

The LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 20:7 -

“Consecrate yourselves and be holy, for I am the LORD your God.

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 20:8 -

“Keep my statutes and do them; I am the LORD who sets you apart.

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 20:24 -

“You are to be holy to me because I, the LORD, am holy, and I have set you apart from the nations to be mine.

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 21:1 -

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 21:8 -

“You are to consider him holy since he presents the food of your God. He will be holy to you because I, the LORD who sets you apart, am holy.

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 21:12 -

“He must not leave the sanctuary or he will desecrate the sanctuary of his God, for the consecration of the anointing oil of his God is on him; I am the LORD.

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 21:15 -

“so that he does not corrupt his bloodline[fn] among his people, for I am the LORD who sets him apart.”

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 21:16 -

The LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 21:23 -

“But because he has a defect, he must not go near the curtain or approach the altar. He is not to desecrate my holy places, for I am the LORD who sets them apart.”

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 22:1 -

The LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 22:2 -

“Tell Aaron and his sons to deal respectfully with the holy offerings of the Israelites that they have consecrated to me, so they do not profane my holy name; I am the LORD.

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 22:3 -

“Say to them: If any man from any of your descendants throughout your generations is in a state of uncleanness yet approaches the holy offerings that the Israelites consecrate to the LORD, that person will be cut off from my presence; I am the LORD.

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 22:8 -

“He must not eat an animal that died naturally or was mauled by wild beasts,[fn] making himself unclean by it; I am the LORD.

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 22:9 -

“They must keep my instruction, or they will be guilty and die because they profane it; I am the LORD who sets them apart.

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 22:16 -

“by letting the people eat their holy offerings and having them bear the penalty of restitution. For I am the LORD who sets them apart.”

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 22:17 -

The LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 22:26 -

The LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 22:30 -

“It is to be eaten on the same day. Do not let any of it remain until morning; I am the LORD.

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 22:32 -

“You must not profane my holy name; I must be treated as holy among the Israelites. I am the LORD who sets you apart,

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 22:33 -

“the one who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God; I am the LORD.”

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 23:1 -

The LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 23:9 -

The LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 23:22 -

“When you reap the harvest of your land, you are not to reap all the way to the edge of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Leave them for the poor and the resident alien; I am the LORD your God.”

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 23:23 -

The LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 23:26 -

The LORD again spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 23:33 -

The LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 23:43 -

“so that your generations may know that I made the Israelites live in shelters when I brought them out of the land of Egypt; I am the LORD your God.”

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 24:1 -

The LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 24:13 -

Then the LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 24:22 -

“You are to have the same law for the resident alien and the native, because I am the LORD your God.”

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 24:23 -

After Moses spoke to the Israelites, they brought the one who had cursed to the outside of the camp and stoned him. So the Israelites did as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 25:1 -

The LORD spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai:

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 25:17 -

“You are not to cheat one another, but fear your God, for I am the LORD your God.

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 25:36 -

“Do not profit or take interest from him, but fear your God and let your brother live among you.

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 25:38 -

“I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan and to be your God.

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 25:55 -

“For the Israelites are my servants. They are my servants that I brought out of the land of Egypt; I am the LORD your God.

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 26:1 -

“Do not make worthless idols for yourselves, set up a carved image or sacred pillar for yourselves, or place a sculpted stone in your land to bow down to it, for I am the LORD your God.

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 26:2 -

“Keep my Sabbaths and revere my sanctuary; I am the LORD.

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 26:13 -

“I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, so that you would no longer be their slaves. I broke the bars of your yoke and enabled you to live in freedom.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 26:44 -

“Yet in spite of this, while they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject or abhor them so as to destroy them and break my covenant with them, since I am the LORD their God.

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 26:45 -

“For their sake I will remember the covenant with their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations to be their God; I am the LORD.”

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 26:46 -

These are the statutes, ordinances, and laws the LORD established between himself and the Israelites through Moses on Mount Sinai.

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 27:1 -

The LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxLev 27:34 -

These are the commands the LORD gave Moses for the Israelites on Mount Sinai.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 1:1 -

The LORD spoke to Moses in the tent of meeting in the Wilderness of Sinai, on the first day of the second month of the second year after Israel's departure from the land of Egypt:

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 1:19 -

just as the LORD commanded Moses. He registered them in the Wilderness of Sinai:

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 1:48 -

For the LORD had told Moses,

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 1:54 -

The Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 2:1 -

The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron:

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 2:33 -

But the Levites were not registered among the Israelites, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 2:34 -

The Israelites did everything the LORD commanded Moses; they camped by their banners in this way and moved out the same way, each man by his clan and by his ancestral family.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 3:1 -

These are the family records of Aaron and Moses at the time the LORD spoke with Moses on Mount Sinai.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 3:5 -

The LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 3:11 -

The LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 3:13 -

“because every firstborn belongs to me. At the time I struck down every firstborn in the land of Egypt, I consecrated every firstborn in Israel to myself, both man and animal. They are mine; I am the LORD.”

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 3:14 -

The LORD spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai:

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 3:16 -

So Moses registered them in obedience to the LORD as he had been commanded:

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 3:40 -

The LORD told Moses, “Register every firstborn male of the Israelites one month old or more, and list their names.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 3:41 -

“You are to take the Levites for me ​— ​I am the LORD ​— ​in place of every firstborn among the Israelites, and the Levites' cattle in place of every firstborn among the Israelites' cattle.”

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 3:42 -

So Moses registered every firstborn among the Israelites, as the LORD commanded him.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 3:44 -

The LORD spoke to Moses again:

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 3:45 -

“Take the Levites in place of every firstborn among the Israelites, and the Levites' cattle in place of their cattle. The Levites belong to me; I am the LORD.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 3:51 -

He gave the redemption silver to Aaron and his sons in obedience to the LORD, just as the LORD commanded Moses.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 4:1 -

The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron:

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 4:17 -

Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron:

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 4:21 -

The LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 4:49 -

At the LORD's command they were registered under the direction of Moses, each one according to his work and transportation duty, and his assignment was as the LORD commanded Moses.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 5:1 -

The LORD instructed Moses,

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 5:4 -

The Israelites did this, sending them outside the camp. The Israelites did as the LORD instructed Moses.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 5:5 -

The LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 5:11 -

The LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 6:1 -

The LORD instructed Moses,

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 6:22 -

The LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 6:23 -

“Tell Aaron and his sons, ‘This is how you are to bless the Israelites. You should say to them,

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 6:24 -

“May the LORD bless you and protect you;

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 6:25 -

“may the LORD make his face shine on you

and be gracious to you;

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 6:26 -

“may the LORD look with favor on you[fn]

and give you peace.” '

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 7:4 -

The LORD said to Moses,

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 7:11 -

The LORD told Moses, “Each day have one leader present his offering for the dedication of the altar.”

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 8:1 -

The LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 8:3 -

So Aaron did this; he set up its lamps to give light in front of the lampstand just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 8:4 -

This is the way the lampstand was made: it was a hammered work of gold, hammered from its base to its flower petals. The lampstand was made according to the pattern the LORD had shown Moses.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 8:5 -

The LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 8:20 -

Moses, Aaron, and the entire Israelite community did this to the Levites. The Israelites did everything to them the LORD commanded Moses regarding the Levites.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 8:22 -

After that, the Levites came to do their work at the tent of meeting in the presence of Aaron and his sons. So they did to them as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 8:23 -

The LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 9:1 -

In the first month of the second year after their departure from the land of Egypt, the LORD told Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai,

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 9:5 -

and they observed it in the first month on the fourteenth day at twilight in the Wilderness of Sinai. The Israelites did everything as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 9:8 -

Moses replied to them, “Wait here until I hear what the LORD commands for you.”

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 9:9 -

Then the LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 10:1 -

The LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 10:10 -

“You are to sound the trumpets over your burnt offerings and your fellowship sacrifices and on your joyous occasions, your appointed festivals, and the beginning of each of your months. They will serve as a reminder for you before your God: I am the LORD your God.”

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 10:29 -

Moses said to Hobab, descendant of Reuel the Midianite and Moses's relative by marriage, “We're setting out for the place the LORD promised, ‘I will give it to you.' Come with us, and we will treat you well, for the LORD has promised good things to Israel.”

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 10:32 -

“If you come with us, whatever good the LORD does for us we will do for you.”

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 11:1 -

Now the people began complaining openly before[fn] the LORD about hardship. When the LORD heard, his anger burned, and fire from the LORD blazed among them and consumed the outskirts of the camp.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 11:10 -

Moses heard the people, family after family, weeping at the entrance of their tents. The LORD was very angry; Moses was also provoked.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 11:16 -

The LORD answered Moses, “Bring me seventy men from Israel known to you as elders and officers of the people. Take them to the tent of meeting and have them stand there with you.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 11:18 -

“Tell the people: Consecrate yourselves in readiness for tomorrow, and you will eat meat because you wept in the LORD's hearing, ‘Who will feed us meat? We were better off in Egypt.' The LORD will give you meat and you will eat.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 11:23 -

The LORD answered Moses, “Is the LORD's arm weak?[fn] Now you will see whether or not what I have promised will happen to you.”

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 11:25 -

Then the LORD descended in the cloud and spoke to him. He took some of the Spirit who was on Moses and placed the Spirit on the seventy elders. As the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied, but they never did it again.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 11:29 -

But Moses asked him, “Are you jealous on my account? If only all the LORD's people were prophets and the LORD would place his Spirit on them! ”

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 11:33 -

While the meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, the LORD's anger burned against the people, and the LORD struck them with a very severe plague.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 12:2 -

They said, “Does the LORD speak only through Moses? Does he not also speak through us? ” And the LORD heard it.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 12:4 -

Suddenly the LORD said to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, “You three come out to the tent of meeting.” So the three of them went out.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 12:5 -

Then the LORD descended in a pillar of cloud, stood at the entrance to the tent, and summoned Aaron and Miriam. When the two of them came forward,

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 12:14 -

The LORD answered Moses, “If her father had merely spit in her face, wouldn't she remain in disgrace for seven days? Let her be confined outside the camp for seven days; after that she may be brought back in.”

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 13:1 -

The LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 14:3 -

“Why is the LORD bringing us into this land to die by the sword? Our wives and children will become plunder. Wouldn't it be better for us to go back to Egypt? ”

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 14:8 -

“If the LORD is pleased with us, he will bring us into this land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and give it to us.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 14:9 -

“Only don't rebel against the LORD, and don't be afraid of the people of the land, for we will devour them. Their protection has been removed from them, and the LORD is with us. Don't be afraid of them! ”

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 14:11 -

The LORD said to Moses, “How long will these people despise me? How long will they not trust in me despite all the signs I have performed among them?

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 14:14 -

“They will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that you, LORD, are among these people, how you, LORD, are seen face to face, how your cloud stands over them, and how you go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and in a pillar of fire by night.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 14:18 -

“The LORD is slow to anger and abounding in faithful love, forgiving iniquity and rebellion. But he will not leave the guilty unpunished, bringing the consequences of the fathers' iniquity on the children to the third and fourth generation.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 14:20 -

The LORD responded, “I have pardoned them as you requested.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 14:26 -

Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron:

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 14:28 -

“Tell them: As I live ​— ​this is the LORD's declaration ​— ​I will do to you exactly as I heard you say.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 14:35 -

“I, the LORD, have spoken. I swear that I will do this to the entire evil community that has conspired against me. They will come to an end in the wilderness, and there they will die.”

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 14:40 -

They got up early the next morning and went up the ridge of the hill country, saying, “Let's go to the place the LORD promised, for we were wrong.”

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 14:42 -

“Don't go, because the LORD is not among you and you will be defeated by your enemies.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 14:43 -

“The Amalekites and Canaanites are right in front of you, and you will fall by the sword. The LORD won't be with you, since you have turned from following him.”

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 15:1 -

The LORD instructed Moses,

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 15:17 -

The LORD instructed Moses,

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 15:22 -

“When you sin unintentionally and do not obey all these commands that the LORD spoke to Moses ​— ​

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 15:23 -

“all that the LORD has commanded you through Moses, from the day the LORD issued the commands and onward throughout your generations ​— ​

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 15:35 -

Then the LORD told Moses, “The man is to be put to death. The entire community is to stone him outside the camp.”

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 15:36 -

So the entire community brought him outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 15:37 -

The LORD said to Moses,

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 15:41 -

“I am the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God; I am the LORD your God.”

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 16:3 -

They came together against Moses and Aaron and told them, “You have gone too far! Everyone in the entire community is holy, and the LORD is among them. Why then do you exalt yourselves above the LORD's assembly? ”

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 16:7 -

“place fire in them and put incense on them before the LORD. Then the man the LORD chooses will be the one who is set apart. It is you Levites who have gone too far! ”

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 16:20 -

The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron,

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 16:23 -

The LORD replied to Moses,

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 16:28 -

Then Moses said, “This is how you will know that the LORD sent me to do all these things and that it was not of my own will:

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 16:29 -

“If these men die naturally as all people would, and suffer the fate of all, then the LORD has not sent me.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 16:30 -

“But if the LORD brings about something unprecedented, and the ground opens its mouth and swallows them along with all that belongs to them so that they go down alive into Sheol, then you will know that these men have despised the LORD.”

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 16:36 -

Then the LORD spoke to Moses:

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 16:40 -

just as the LORD commanded him through Moses. It was to be a reminder for the Israelites that no unauthorized person outside the lineage of Aaron should approach to offer incense before the LORD and become like Korah and his followers.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 16:44 -

and the LORD said to Moses,

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 17:1 -

The LORD instructed Moses,

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 17:10 -

The LORD told Moses, “Put Aaron's staff back in front of the testimony to be kept as a sign for the rebels, so that you may put an end to their complaints before me, or else they will die.”

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 17:11 -

So Moses did as the LORD commanded him.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 18:1 -

The LORD said to Aaron, “You, your sons, and your ancestral family[fn] will be responsible for iniquity against the sanctuary. You and your sons will be responsible for iniquity involving your priesthood.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 18:8 -

Then the LORD spoke to Aaron, “Look, I have put you in charge of the contributions brought to me. As for all the holy offerings of the Israelites, I have given them to you and your sons as a portion and a permanent statute.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 18:20 -

The LORD told Aaron, “You will not have an inheritance in their land; there will be no portion among them for you. I am your portion and your inheritance among the Israelites.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 18:25 -

The LORD instructed Moses,

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 19:1 -

The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron,

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 19:2 -

“This is the legal statute that the LORD has commanded: Instruct the Israelites to bring you an unblemished red cow that has no defect and has never been yoked.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 20:7 -

The LORD spoke to Moses,

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 20:9 -

So Moses took the staff from the LORD's presence just as he had commanded him.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 20:12 -

But the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not trust me to demonstrate my holiness in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this assembly into the land I have given them.”

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 20:16 -

“When we cried out to the LORD, he heard our plea,[fn] and sent an angel,[fn] and brought us out of Egypt. Now look, we are in Kadesh, a city on the border of your territory.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 20:23 -

The LORD said to Moses and Aaron at Mount Hor on the border of the land of Edom,

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 20:27 -

So Moses did as the LORD commanded, and they climbed Mount Hor in the sight of the whole community.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 21:3 -

The LORD listened to Israel's request and handed the Canaanites over to them, and Israel completely destroyed them and their cities. So they named the place Hormah.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 21:6 -

Then the LORD sent poisonous[fn] snakes among the people, and they bit them so that many Israelites died.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 21:8 -

Then the LORD said to Moses, “Make a snake image and mount it on a pole. When anyone who is bitten looks at it, he will recover.”

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 21:16 -

From there they went to Beer,[fn] the well the LORD told Moses about, “Gather the people so I may give them water.”

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 21:34 -

But the LORD said to Moses, “Do not fear him, for I have handed him over to you along with his whole army and his land. Do to him as you did to King Sihon of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon.”

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 22:8 -

He said to them, “Spend the night here, and I will give you the answer the LORD tells me.” So the officials of Moab stayed with Balaam.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 22:19 -

“Please stay here overnight as the others did, so that I may find out what else the LORD has to tell me.”

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 23:8 -

How can I curse someone God has not cursed?

How can I denounce someone the LORD has not denounced?

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 23:17 -

So he returned to Balak, who was standing there by his burnt offering with the officials of Moab. Balak asked him, “What did the LORD say? ”

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 23:21 -

He considers no disaster for Jacob;

he sees no trouble for Israel.[fn]

The LORD their God is with them,

and there is rejoicing over the King among them.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 24:6 -

They stretch out like river valleys,[fn]

like gardens beside a stream,

like aloes the LORD has planted,

like cedars beside the water.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 24:11 -

“Now go to your home! I said I would reward you richly, but look, the LORD has denied you a reward.”

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 25:3 -

So Israel aligned itself with Baal of Peor, and the LORD's anger burned against Israel.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 25:4 -

The LORD said to Moses, “Take all the leaders of the people and execute[fn] them in broad daylight before the LORD so that his burning anger may turn away from Israel.”

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 26:52 -

The LORD spoke to Moses,

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 26:65 -

For the LORD had said to them that they would all die in the wilderness. None of them was left except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 27:6 -

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 27:11 -

“If his father has no brothers, give his inheritance to the nearest relative of his clan, and he will take possession of it. This is to be a statutory ordinance for the Israelites as the LORD commanded Moses.”

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 27:12 -

Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go up this mountain of the Abarim range[fn] and see the land that I have given the Israelites.

Moses told the leaders of the Israelite tribes, “This is what the LORD has commanded:

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 30:5 -

“But if her father prohibits her on the day he hears about it, none of her vows and none of the obligations she put herself under are binding. The LORD will release her because her father has prohibited her.

Moses then summoned Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel, “Be strong and courageous, for you will go with[fn] this people into the land the LORD swore to give to their ancestors. You will enable them to take possession of it.

The LORD said to Moses, “The time of your death is now approaching. Call Joshua and present yourselves at the tent of meeting so that I may commission him.” When Moses and Joshua went and presented themselves at the tent of meeting,

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 31:15 -

the LORD appeared at the tent in a pillar of cloud, and the cloud stood at the entrance to the tent.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 31:16 -

The LORD said to Moses, “You are about to rest with your ancestors, and these people will soon prostitute themselves with the foreign gods of the land they are entering. They will abandon me and break the covenant I have made with them.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 31:17 -

“My anger will burn against them on that day; I will abandon them and hide my face from them so that they will become easy prey. Many troubles and afflictions will come to them. On that day they will say, ‘Haven't these troubles come to us because our God is no longer with us? '

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 31:23 -

The LORD commissioned Joshua son of Nun, “Be strong and courageous, for you will bring the Israelites into the land I swore to them, and I will be with you.”

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 32:4 -

The Rock ​— ​his work is perfect;

all his ways are just.

A faithful God, without bias,

he is righteous and true.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 32:12 -

The LORD alone led him,

with no help from a foreign god.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 32:19 -

When the LORD saw this, he despised them,

angered by his sons and daughters.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 32:27 -

“if I had not feared provocation from the enemy,

or feared that these foes might misunderstand

How could one pursue a thousand,

The LORD will indeed vindicate his people

Then Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which faces Jericho, and the LORD showed him all the land: Gilead as far as Dan,

The LORD then said to him, “This is the land I promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, ‘I will give it to your descendants.' I have let you see it with your own eyes, but you will not cross into it.”

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 34:9 -

Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom because Moses had laid his hands on him. So the Israelites obeyed him and did as the LORD had commanded Moses.

No prophet has arisen again in Israel like Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 1:1 -

After the death of Moses the LORD's servant, the LORD spoke to Joshua son of Nun, Moses's assistant:

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 1:9 -

“Haven't I commanded you: be strong and courageous? Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 1:11 -

“Go through the camp and tell the people, ‘Get provisions ready for yourselves, for within three days you will be crossing the Jordan to go in and take possession of the land the LORD your God is giving you to inherit.' ”

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 1:13 -

“Remember what Moses the LORD's servant commanded you when he said, ‘The LORD your God will give you rest, and he will give you this land.'

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 1:15 -

“until the LORD gives your brothers rest, as he has given you, and they too possess the land the LORD your God is giving them. You may then return to the land of your inheritance and take possession of what Moses the LORD's servant gave you on the east side of the Jordan.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 1:17 -

“We will obey you, just as we obeyed Moses in everything. Certainly the LORD your God will be with you, as he was with Moses.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 2:9 -

and said to them, “I know that the LORD has given you this land and that the terror of you has fallen on us, and everyone who lives in the land is panicking because of you.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 2:10 -

“For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to Sihon and Og, the two Amorite kings you completely destroyed across the Jordan.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 2:11 -

“When we heard this, we lost heart, and everyone's courage failed[fn] because of you, for the LORD your God is God in heaven above and on earth below.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 2:14 -

The men answered her, “We will give our lives for yours. If you don't report our mission, we will show kindness and faithfulness to you when the LORD gives us the land.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 2:24 -

They told Joshua, “The LORD has handed over the entire land to us. Everyone who lives in the land is also panicking because of us.”[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 3:5 -

Joshua told the people, “Consecrate yourselves, because the LORD will do wonders among you tomorrow.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 3:7 -

The LORD spoke to Joshua: “Today I will begin to exalt you in the sight of all Israel, so they will know that I will be with you just as I was with Moses.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 4:1 -

After the entire nation had finished crossing the Jordan, the LORD spoke to Joshua:

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 4:8 -

The Israelites did just as Joshua had commanded them. The twelve men took stones from the middle of the Jordan, one for each of the Israelite tribes, just as the LORD had told Joshua. They carried them to the camp and set them down there.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 4:10 -

The priests carrying the ark continued standing in the middle of the Jordan until everything was completed that the LORD had commanded Joshua to tell the people, in keeping with all that Moses had commanded Joshua. The people hurried across,

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 4:14 -

On that day the LORD exalted Joshua in the sight of all Israel, and they revered him throughout his life, as they had revered Moses.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 4:15 -

The LORD told Joshua,

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 4:23 -

“For the LORD your God dried up the water of the Jordan before you until you had crossed over, just as the LORD your God did to the Red Sea, which he dried up before us until we had crossed over.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 5:1 -

When all the Amorite kings across the Jordan to the west and all the Canaanite kings near the sea heard how the LORD had dried up the water of the Jordan before the Israelites until they had crossed over, they lost heart and their courage failed because of the Israelites.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 5:2 -

At that time the LORD said to Joshua, “Make flint knives and circumcise the Israelite men again.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 5:6 -

For the Israelites wandered in the wilderness forty years until all the nation's men of war who came out of Egypt had died off because they did not obey the LORD. So the LORD vowed never to let them see the land he had sworn to their ancestors to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 5:9 -

The LORD then said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the disgrace of Egypt from you.” Therefore, that place is still called Gilgal[fn] today.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 6:2 -

The LORD said to Joshua, “Look, I have handed Jericho, its king, and its best soldiers over to you.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 6:16 -

After the seventh time, the priests blew the rams' horns, and Joshua said to the troops, “Shout! For the LORD has given you the city.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 6:27 -

And the LORD was with Joshua, and his fame spread throughout the land.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 7:1 -

The Israelites, however, were unfaithful regarding the things set apart for destruction. Achan son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of what was set apart, and the LORD's anger burned against the Israelites.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 7:10 -

The LORD then said to Joshua, “Stand up! Why have you fallen facedown?

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 7:13 -

“Go and consecrate the people. Tell them to consecrate themselves for tomorrow, for this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: There are things that are set apart among you, Israel. You will not be able to stand against your enemies until you remove what is set apart.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 7:14 -

“In the morning, present yourselves tribe by tribe. The tribe the LORD selects is to come forward clan by clan. The clan the LORD selects is to come forward family by family. The family the LORD selects is to come forward man by man.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 7:25 -

Joshua said, “Why have you brought us trouble? Today the LORD will bring you trouble! ” So all Israel stoned them[fn] to death. They burned their bodies, threw stones on them,

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 7:26 -

and raised over him a large pile of rocks that remains still today. Then the LORD turned from his burning anger. Therefore that place is called the Valley of Achor[fn] still today.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 8:1 -

The LORD said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid or discouraged. Take all the troops with you and go attack Ai. Look, I have handed over to you the king of Ai, his people, city, and land.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 8:18 -

Then the LORD said to Joshua, “Hold out the javelin in your hand toward Ai, for I will hand the city over to you.” So Joshua held out his javelin toward it.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 8:27 -

Israel plundered only the cattle and spoil of that city for themselves, according to the LORD's command that he had given Joshua.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 9:3 -

When the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and Ai,

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 9:24 -

The Gibeonites answered him, “It was clearly communicated to your servants that the LORD your God had commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land before you. We greatly feared for our lives because of you, and that is why we did this.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 9:27 -

On that day he made them woodcutters and water carriers ​— ​as they are today ​— ​for the community and for the LORD's altar at the place he would choose.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 10:8 -

The LORD said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them, for I have handed them over to you. Not one of them will be able to stand against you.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 10:10 -

The LORD threw them into confusion before Israel. He defeated them in a great slaughter at Gibeon, chased them through the ascent of Beth-horon, and struck them down as far as Azekah and Makkedah.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 10:11 -

As they fled before Israel, the LORD threw large hailstones on them from the sky along the descent of Beth-horon all the way to Azekah, and they died. More of them died from the hail than the Israelites killed with the sword.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 10:14 -

There has been no day like it before or since, when the LORD listened to a man, because the LORD fought for Israel.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 10:19 -

“But as for the rest of you, don't stay there. Pursue your enemies and attack them from behind. Don't let them enter their cities, for the LORD your God has handed them over to you.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 10:25 -

Joshua said to them, “Do not be afraid or discouraged. Be strong and courageous, for the LORD will do this to all the enemies you fight.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 10:30 -

The LORD also handed it and its king over to Israel. He struck it down, putting everyone in it to the sword, and left no survivors in it. He treated Libnah's king as he had the king of Jericho.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 10:32 -

The LORD handed Lachish over to Israel, and Joshua captured it on the second day. He struck it down, putting everyone in it to the sword, just as he had done to Libnah.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 10:35 -

On that day they captured it and struck it down, putting everyone in it to the sword. He completely destroyed it that day, just as he had done to Lachish.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 10:40 -

So Joshua conquered the whole region ​— ​the hill country, the Negev, the Judean foothills,[fn] and the slopes ​— ​with all their kings, leaving no survivors. He completely destroyed every living being, as the LORD, the God of Israel, had commanded.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 10:42 -

Joshua captured all these kings and their land in one campaign, because the LORD, the God of Israel, fought for Israel.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 11:6 -

The LORD said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them, for at this time tomorrow I will cause all of them to be killed before Israel. You are to hamstring their horses and burn their chariots.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 11:8 -

The LORD handed them over to Israel, and they struck them down, pursuing them as far as greater Sidon and Misrephoth-maim, and to the east as far as the Valley of Mizpeh. They struck them down, leaving no survivors.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 11:9 -

Joshua treated them as the LORD had told him; he hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 11:15 -

Just as the LORD had commanded his servant Moses, Moses commanded Joshua. That is what Joshua did, leaving nothing undone of all that the LORD had commanded Moses.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 11:20 -

For it was the LORD's intention to harden their hearts, so that they would engage Israel in battle, be completely destroyed without mercy, and be annihilated, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 11:23 -

So Joshua took the entire land, in keeping with all that the LORD had told Moses. Joshua then gave it as an inheritance to Israel according to their tribal allotments. After this, the land had rest from war.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 13:1 -

Joshua was now old, advanced in age, and the LORD said to him, “You have become old, advanced in age, but a great deal of the land remains to be possessed.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 13:14 -

He did not, however, give any inheritance to the tribe of Levi. This was their inheritance, just as he had promised: the food offerings made to the LORD, the God of Israel.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 14:2 -

Their inheritance was by lot as the LORD commanded through Moses for the nine and a half tribes,

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 14:5 -

So the Israelites did as the LORD commanded Moses, and they divided the land.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 14:6 -

The descendants of Judah approached Joshua at Gilgal, and Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, “You know what the LORD promised Moses the man of God at Kadesh-barnea about you and me.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 14:10 -

“As you see, the LORD has kept me alive these forty-five years as he promised, since the LORD spoke this word to Moses while Israel was journeying in the wilderness. Here I am today, eighty-five years old.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 14:12 -

“Now give me this hill country the LORD promised me on that day, because you heard then that the Anakim are there, as well as large fortified cities. Perhaps the LORD will be with me and I will drive them out as the LORD promised.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 18:3 -

So Joshua asked the Israelites, “How long will you delay going out to take possession of the land that the LORD, the God of your ancestors, gave you?

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 20:1 -

Then the LORD spoke to Joshua,

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 21:2 -

At Shiloh, in the land of Canaan, they told them, “The LORD commanded through Moses that we be given cities to live in, with their pasturelands for our livestock.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 21:8 -

The Israelites gave these cities with their pasturelands around them to the Levites by lot, as the LORD had commanded through Moses.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 21:43 -

So the LORD gave Israel all the land he had sworn to give their ancestors, and they took possession of it and settled there.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 21:44 -

The LORD gave them rest on every side according to all he had sworn to their ancestors. None of their enemies were able to stand against them, for the LORD handed over all their enemies to them.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 21:45 -

None of the good promises the LORD had made to the house of Israel failed. Everything was fulfilled.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 22:4 -

“Now that he has given your brothers rest, just as he promised them, return to your homes in your own land that Moses the LORD's servant gave you across the Jordan.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 22:22 -

“The Mighty One, God, the LORD! The Mighty One, God, the LORD![fn] He knows, and may Israel also know. Do not spare us today, if it was in rebellion or treachery against the LORD

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 22:23 -

“that we have built for ourselves an altar to turn away from him. May the LORD himself hold us accountable if we intended to offer burnt offerings and grain offerings on it, or to sacrifice fellowship offerings on it.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 22:25 -

“For the LORD has made the Jordan a border between us and you descendants of Reuben and Gad. You have no share in the LORD! ' So your descendants may cause our descendants to stop fearing the LORD.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 22:31 -

Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest said to the descendants of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh, “Today we know that the LORD is among us, because you have not committed this treachery against him. As a result, you have rescued the Israelites from the LORD's power.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 22:34 -

So the Reubenites and Gadites named the altar: It[fn] is a witness between us that the LORD is God.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 23:3 -

“and you have seen for yourselves everything the LORD your God did to all these nations on your account, because it was the LORD your God who was fighting for you.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 23:5 -

“The LORD your God will force them back on your account and drive them out before you so that you can take possession of their land, as the LORD your God promised you.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 23:9 -

“The LORD has driven out great and powerful nations before you, and no one is able to stand against you to this day.

“One of you routed a thousand because the LORD your God was fighting for you, as he promised.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 23:13 -

“know for certain that the LORD your God will not continue to drive these nations out before you. They will become a snare and a trap for you, a sharp stick[fn] for your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you disappear from this good land the LORD your God has given you.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 23:14 -

“I am now going the way of the whole earth, and you know with all your heart and all your soul that none of the good promises the LORD your God made to you has failed. Everything was fulfilled for you; not one promise has failed.

“Since every good thing the LORD your God promised you has come about, so he will bring on you every bad thing until he has annihilated you from this good land the LORD your God has given you.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 24:2 -

Joshua said to all the people, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Long ago your ancestors, including Terah, the father of Abraham and Nahor, lived beyond the Euphrates River and worshiped other gods.

“I sent Moses and Aaron, and I defeated Egypt by what I did within it, and afterward I brought you out.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 24:7 -

“Your ancestors cried out to the LORD, so he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea over them, engulfing them. Your own eyes saw what I did to Egypt. After that, you lived in the wilderness a long time.

“ ‘Later, I brought you to the land of the Amorites who lived beyond the Jordan. They fought against you, but I handed them over to you. You possessed their land, and I annihilated them before you.

“but I would not listen to Balaam. Instead, he repeatedly blessed you, and I rescued you from him.

“For the LORD our God brought us and our ancestors out of the land of Egypt, out of the place of slavery, and performed these great signs before our eyes. He also protected us all along the way we went and among all the peoples whose lands we traveled through.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 24:18 -

“The LORD drove out before us all the peoples, including the Amorites who lived in the land. We too will worship the LORD, because he is our God.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 24:30 -

They buried him in his allotted territory at Timnath-serah, in the hill country of Ephraim north of Mount Gaash.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 24:33 -

And Eleazar son of Aaron died, and they buried him at Gibeah,[fn] which had been given to his son Phinehas in the hill country of Ephraim.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 1:2 -

The LORD answered, “Judah is to go. I have handed the land over to him.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 1:4 -

When Judah attacked, the LORD handed the Canaanites and Perizzites over to them. They struck down ten thousand men in Bezek.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 1:19 -

The LORD was with Judah and enabled them to take possession of the hill country, but they could not drive out the people who were living in the plain because those people had iron chariots.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 2:1 -

The angel of the LORD went up from Gilgal to Bochim and said, “I brought you out of Egypt and led you into the land I had promised to your ancestors. I also said: I will never break my covenant with you.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 2:14 -

The LORD's anger burned against Israel, and he handed them over to marauders who raided them. He sold them to the enemies around them, and they could no longer resist their enemies.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 2:15 -

Whenever the Israelites went out, the LORD was against them and brought disaster on them, just as he had promised and sworn to them. So they suffered greatly.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 2:16 -

The LORD raised up judges, who saved them from the power of their marauders,

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 2:18 -

Whenever the LORD raised up a judge for the Israelites, the LORD was with him and saved the people from the power of their enemies while the judge was still alive. The LORD was moved to pity whenever they groaned because of those who were oppressing and afflicting them.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 2:20 -

The LORD's anger burned against Israel, and he declared, “Because this nation has violated my covenant that I made with their ancestors and disobeyed me,

The LORD left these nations and did not drive them out immediately. He did not hand them over to Joshua.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 3:8 -

The LORD's anger burned against Israel, and he sold them to King Cushan-rishathaim[fn] of Aram-naharaim,[fn] and the Israelites served him eight years.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 3:9 -

The Israelites cried out to the LORD. So the LORD raised up Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb's youngest brother, as a deliverer to save the Israelites.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 3:10 -

The Spirit of the LORD came on him, and he judged Israel. Othniel went out to battle, and the LORD handed over King Cushan-rishathaim of Aram to him, so that Othniel overpowered him.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 3:12 -

The Israelites again did what was evil in the LORD's sight. He gave King Eglon of Moab power over Israel, because they had done what was evil in the LORD's sight.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 3:15 -

Then the Israelites cried out to the LORD, and he raised up Ehud son of Gera, a left-handed Benjaminite,[fn] as a deliverer for them. The Israelites sent him with the tribute for King Eglon of Moab.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 3:25 -

The servants waited until they became embarrassed and saw that he had still not opened the doors of the upstairs room. So they took the key and opened the doors ​— ​and there was their lord lying dead on the floor!

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 3:28 -

He told them, “Follow me, because the LORD has handed over your enemies, the Moabites, to you.” So they followed him, captured the fords of the Jordan leading to Moab, and did not allow anyone to cross over.

So the LORD sold them to King Jabin of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor. The commander of his army was Sisera who lived in Harosheth of the Nations.[fn]

She summoned Barak son of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali and said to him, “Hasn't the LORD, the God of Israel, commanded you, ‘Go, deploy the troops on Mount Tabor, and take with you ten thousand men from the Naphtalites and Zebulunites?

Barak said to her, “If you will go with me, I will go. But if you will not go with me, I will not go.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 4:9 -

“I will gladly go with you,” she said, “but you will receive no honor on the road you are about to take, because the LORD will sell Sisera to a woman.” So Deborah got up and went with Barak to Kedesh.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 4:14 -

Then Deborah said to Barak, “Go! This is the day the LORD has handed Sisera over to you. Hasn't the LORD gone before you? ” So Barak came down from Mount Tabor with ten thousand men following him.

The LORD threw Sisera, all his charioteers, and all his army into a panic before Barak's assault. Sisera left his chariot and fled on foot.

That day God subdued King Jabin of Canaan before the Israelites.

Those with their roots in Amalek[fn] came from Ephraim;

“Curse Meroz,” says the angel of the LORD,

The Israelites did what was evil in the sight of the LORD. So the LORD handed them over to Midian seven years,

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 6:8 -

the LORD sent a prophet to them. He said to them, “This is what the LORD God of Israel says: ‘I brought you out of Egypt and out of the place of slavery.

“I said to you: I am the LORD your God. Do not fear the gods of the Amorites whose land you live in. But you did not obey me.' ”

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 6:12 -

Then the angel of the LORD appeared to him and said, “The LORD is with you, valiant warrior.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 6:13 -

Gideon said to him, “Please, my lord, if the LORD is with us, why has all this happened? And where are all his wonders that our ancestors told us about? They said, ‘Hasn't the LORD brought us out of Egypt? ' But now the LORD has abandoned us and handed us over to Midian.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 6:16 -

“But I will be with you,” the LORD said to him. “You will strike Midian down as if it were one man.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 6:23 -

But the LORD said to him, “Peace to you. Don't be afraid, for you will not die.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 6:25 -

On that very night the LORD said to him, “Take your father's young bull and a second bull seven years old. Then tear down the altar of Baal that belongs to your father and cut down the Asherah pole beside it.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 6:27 -

So Gideon took ten of his male servants and did as the LORD had told him. But because he was too afraid of his father's family and the men of the city to do it in the daytime, he did it at night.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 7:2 -

The LORD said to Gideon, “You have too many troops for me to hand the Midianites over to them, or else Israel might elevate themselves over me and say,[fn] ‘I saved myself.'

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 7:3 -

“Now announce to the troops, ‘Whoever is fearful and trembling may turn back and leave Mount Gilead.' ” So twenty-two thousand of the troops turned back, but ten thousand remained.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 7:4 -

Then the LORD said to Gideon, “There are still too many troops. Take them down to the water, and I will test them for you there. If I say to you, ‘This one can go with you,' he can go. But if I say about anyone, ‘This one cannot go with you,' he cannot go.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 7:5 -

So he brought the troops down to the water, and the LORD said to Gideon, “Separate everyone who laps water with his tongue like a dog. Do the same with everyone who kneels to drink.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 7:7 -

The LORD said to Gideon, “I will deliver you with the three hundred men who lapped and hand the Midianites over to you. But everyone else is to go home.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 7:9 -

That night the LORD said to him, “Get up and attack the camp, for I have handed it over to you.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 7:14 -

His friend answered, “This is nothing less than the sword of Gideon son of Joash, the Israelite. God has handed the entire Midianite camp over to him.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 7:15 -

When Gideon heard the account of the dream and its interpretation, he bowed in worship. He returned to Israel's camp and said, “Get up, for the LORD has handed the Midianite camp over to you.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 7:22 -

When Gideon's men blew their three hundred rams' horns, the LORD caused the men in the whole army to turn on each other with their swords. They fled to Acacia House[fn] in the direction of Zererah as far as the border of Abel-meholah near Tabbath.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 8:3 -

“God handed over to you Oreb and Zeeb, the two princes of Midian. What was I able to do compared to you? ” When he said this, their anger against him subsided.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 8:19 -

So he said, “They were my brothers, the sons of my mother! As the LORD lives, if you had let them live, I would not kill you.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 8:23 -

But Gideon said to them, “I will not rule over you, and my son will not rule over you; the LORD will rule over you.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 10:7 -

So the LORD's anger burned against Israel, and he sold them to the Philistines and the Ammonites.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 10:11 -

The LORD said to the Israelites, “When the Egyptians, Amorites, Ammonites, Philistines,

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 11:9 -

So Jephthah said to them, “If you are bringing me back to fight the Ammonites and the LORD gives them to me, I will be your leader.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 11:10 -

The elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, “The LORD is our witness if we don't do as you say.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 11:21 -

“Then the LORD God of Israel handed over Sihon and all his troops to Israel, and they defeated them. So Israel took possession of the entire land of the Amorites who lived in that country.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 11:23 -

“The LORD God of Israel has now driven out the Amorites before his people Israel, and will you now force us out?

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 11:24 -

“Isn't it true that you can have whatever your god Chemosh conquers for you, and we can have whatever the LORD our God conquers for us?

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 11:27 -

“I have not sinned against you, but you are doing me wrong by fighting against me. Let the LORD who is the judge decide today between the Israelites and the Ammonites.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 11:32 -

Jephthah crossed over to the Ammonites to fight against them, and the LORD handed them over to him.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 11:36 -

Then she said to him, “My father, you have given your word to the LORD. Do to me as you have said, for the LORD brought vengeance on your enemies, the Ammonites.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 12:3 -

“When I saw that you weren't going to deliver me, I took my life in my own hands and crossed over to the Ammonites, and the LORD handed them over to me. Why then have you come today to fight against me? ”

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 13:1 -

The Israelites again did what was evil in the LORD's sight, so the LORD handed them over to the Philistines forty years.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 13:23 -

But his wife said to him, “If the LORD had intended to kill us, he wouldn't have accepted the burnt offering and the grain offering from us, and he would not have shown us all these things or spoken to us like this.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 13:24 -

So the woman gave birth to a son and named him Samson. The boy grew, and the LORD blessed him.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 16:20 -

Then she cried, “Samson, the Philistines are here! ” When he awoke from his sleep, he said, “I will escape as I did before and shake myself free.” But he did not know that the LORD had left him.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 17:13 -

Then Micah said, “Now I know that the LORD will be good to me, because a Levite has become my priest.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 19:12 -

But his master replied to him, “We will not stop at a foreign city where there are no Israelites. Let's move on to Gibeah.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 19:23 -

The owner of the house went out and said to them, “Please don't do this evil, my brothers. After all, this man has come into my house. Don't commit this horrible outrage.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 19:26 -

Early that morning, the woman made her way back, and as it was getting light, she collapsed at the doorway of the man's house where her master was.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 19:27 -

When her master got up in the morning, opened the doors of the house, and went out to leave on his journey, there was the woman, his concubine, collapsed near the doorway of the house with her hands on the threshold.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 20:18 -

They set out, went to Bethel, and inquired of God. The Israelites asked, “Who is to go first to fight for us against the Benjaminites? ”

And the LORD answered, “Judah will be first.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 20:23 -

They went up, wept before the LORD until evening, and inquired of him, “Should we again attack our brothers the Benjaminites? ”

And the LORD answered, “Fight against them.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 20:28 -

and Phinehas son of Eleazar, son of Aaron, was serving before it. The Israelites asked, “Should we again fight against our brothers the Benjaminites or should we stop? ”

The LORD answered, “Fight, because I will hand them over to you tomorrow.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 20:35 -

The LORD defeated Benjamin in the presence of Israel, and on that day the Israelites slaughtered 25,100 men of Benjamin; all were armed.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 21:15 -

The people had compassion on Benjamin, because the LORD had made this gap in the tribes of Israel.

Unchecked Copy BoxRth 1:6 -

She and her daughters-in-law set out to return from the territory of Moab, because she had heard in Moab that the LORD had paid attention to his people's need by providing them food.

Naomi said to them, “Each of you go back to your mother's home. May the LORD show kindness to you as you have shown to the dead and to me.

Unchecked Copy BoxRth 1:9 -

“May the LORD grant each of you rest in the house of a new husband.” She kissed them, and they wept loudly.

Unchecked Copy BoxRth 1:17 -

Where you die, I will die,

and there I will be buried.

May the LORD punish me,

and do so severely,

if anything but death separates you and me.

Unchecked Copy BoxRth 1:21 -

“I went away full, but the LORD has brought me back empty. Why do you call me Naomi, since the LORD has opposed[fn] me, and the Almighty has afflicted me? ”

Unchecked Copy BoxRth 2:4 -

Later, when Boaz arrived from Bethlehem, he said to the harvesters, “The LORD be with you.”

“The LORD bless you,” they replied.

Unchecked Copy BoxRth 2:12 -

“May the LORD reward you for what you have done, and may you receive a full reward from the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings you have come for refuge.”

Unchecked Copy BoxRth 3:13 -

“Stay here tonight, and in the morning, if he wants to redeem you, that's good. Let him redeem you. But if he doesn't want to redeem you, as the LORD lives, I will. Now lie down until morning.”

Unchecked Copy BoxRth 4:11 -

All the people who were at the city gate, including the elders, said, “We are witnesses. May the LORD make the woman who is entering your house like Rachel and Leah, who together built the house of Israel. May you be powerful in Ephrathah and your name well known in Bethlehem.

Unchecked Copy BoxRth 4:13 -

Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife. He slept with her, and the LORD granted conception to her, and she gave birth to a son.

Unchecked Copy BoxRth 4:14 -

The women said to Naomi, “Blessed be the LORD, who has not left you without a family redeemer today. May his name become well known in Israel.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 1:5 -

But he gave a double[fn] portion to Hannah, for he loved her even though the LORD had kept her from conceiving.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 1:6 -

Her rival would taunt her severely just to provoke her, because the LORD had kept Hannah from conceiving.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 1:19 -

The next morning Elkanah and Hannah got up early to worship before the LORD. Afterward, they returned home to Ramah. Then Elkanah was intimate with his wife Hannah, and the LORD remembered her.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 1:23 -

Her husband, Elkanah, replied, “Do what you think is best, and stay here until you've weaned him. May the LORD confirm your[fn] word.” So Hannah stayed there and nursed her son until she weaned him.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 1:27 -

“I prayed for this boy, and since the LORD gave me what I asked him for,

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 2:2 -

There is no one holy like the LORD.

There is no one besides you!

And there is no rock like our God.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 2:3 -

Do not boast so proudly,

or let arrogant words come out of your mouth,

for the LORD is a God of knowledge,

and actions are weighed by him.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 2:6 -

The LORD brings death and gives life;

he sends some down to Sheol, and he raises others up.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 2:7 -

The LORD brings poverty and gives wealth;

he humbles and he exalts.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 2:10 -

Those who oppose the LORD will be shattered;[fn]

he will thunder in the heavens against them.

The LORD will judge the ends of the earth.

He will give power to his king;

he will lift up the horn of his anointed.[fn]

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 2:20 -

Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife: “May the LORD give you children by this woman in place of the one she[fn] has given to the LORD.” Then they would go home.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 2:21 -

The LORD paid attention to Hannah's need, and she conceived and gave birth to three sons and two daughters. Meanwhile, the boy Samuel grew up in the presence of the LORD.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 2:25 -

“If one person sins against another, God can intercede for him, but if a person sins against the LORD, who can intercede for him? ” But they would not listen to their father, since the LORD intended to kill them.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 2:27 -

A man of God came to Eli and said to him, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Didn't I reveal myself to your forefather's family[fn] when they were in Egypt and belonged to Pharaoh's palace?

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 2:30 -

“Therefore, this is the declaration of the LORD, the God of Israel: ‘I did say that your family and your forefather's family would walk before me forever. But now,' this is the LORD's declaration, ‘no longer! For those who honor me I will honor, but those who despise me will be disgraced.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 3:4 -

Then the LORD called Samuel,[fn] and he answered, “Here I am.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 3:6 -

Once again the LORD called, “Samuel! ”

Samuel got up, went to Eli, and said, “Here I am; you called me.”

“I didn't call, my son,” he replied. “Go back and lie down.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 3:8 -

Once again, for the third time, the LORD called Samuel. He got up, went to Eli, and said, “Here I am; you called me.”

Then Eli understood that the LORD was calling the boy.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 3:10 -

The LORD came, stood there, and called as before, “Samuel, Samuel! ”

Samuel responded, “Speak, for your servant is listening.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 3:11 -

The LORD said to Samuel, “I am about to do something in Israel that will cause everyone who hears about it to shudder.[fn]

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 3:18 -

So Samuel told him everything and did not hide anything from him. Eli responded, “He is the LORD. Let him do what he thinks is good.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 3:19 -

Samuel grew. The LORD was with him, and he fulfilled everything Samuel prophesied.[fn]

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 3:21 -

The LORD continued to appear in Shiloh, because there he revealed himself to Samuel by his word.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 4:3 -

When the troops returned to the camp, the elders of Israel asked, “Why did the LORD defeat us today before the Philistines? Let's bring the ark of the LORD's covenant from Shiloh. Then it[fn] will go with us and save us from our enemies.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 6:19 -

God struck down the people of Beth-shemesh because they looked inside the ark of the LORD.[fn] He struck down seventy persons.[fn] The people mourned because the LORD struck them with a great slaughter.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 7:9 -

Then Samuel took a young lamb and offered it as a whole burnt offering to the LORD. He cried out to the LORD on behalf of Israel, and the LORD answered him.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 7:10 -

Samuel was offering the burnt offering as the Philistines approached to fight against Israel. The LORD thundered loudly against the Philistines that day and threw them into such confusion that they were defeated by Israel.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 7:12 -

Afterward, Samuel took a stone and set it upright between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer,[fn] explaining, “The LORD has helped us to this point.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 7:13 -

So the Philistines were subdued and[fn] did not invade Israel's territory again. The LORD's hand was against the Philistines all of Samuel's life.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 8:7 -

But the LORD told him, “Listen to the people and everything they say to you. They have not rejected you; they have rejected me as their king.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 8:18 -

“When that day comes, you will cry out because of the king you've chosen for yourselves, but the LORD won't answer you on that day.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 8:22 -

“Listen to them,” the LORD told Samuel. “Appoint a king for them.”

Then Samuel told the men of Israel, “Each of you, go back to your city.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 9:15 -

Now the day before Saul's arrival, the LORD had informed Samuel,

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 9:17 -

When Samuel saw Saul, the LORD told him, “Here is the man I told you about; he will govern my people.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 10:1 -

Samuel took the flask of oil, poured it out on Saul's head, kissed him, and said, “Hasn't the LORD anointed you ruler over his inheritance?[fn]

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 10:18 -

and said to the Israelites, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I brought Israel out of Egypt, and I rescued you from the power of the Egyptians and all the kingdoms that were oppressing you.'

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 10:22 -

They again inquired of the LORD, “Has the man come here yet? ”

The LORD replied, “There he is, hidden among the supplies.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 10:24 -

Samuel said to all the people, “Do you see the one the LORD has chosen? There is no one like him among the entire population.”

And all the people shouted,[fn] “Long live the king! ”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 10:26 -

Saul also went to his home in Gibeah, and brave men whose hearts God had touched went with him.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 11:13 -

But Saul ordered, “No one will be executed this day, for today the LORD has provided deliverance in Israel.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 12:5 -

He said to them, “The LORD is a witness against you, and his anointed is a witness today that you haven't found anything in my hand.”

“He is a witness,” they said.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 12:6 -

Then Samuel said to the people, “The LORD, who appointed Moses and Aaron and who brought your ancestors up from the land of Egypt, is a witness.[fn]

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 12:8 -

“When Jacob went to Egypt,[fn] your ancestors cried out to the LORD, and he sent them Moses and Aaron, who led your ancestors out of Egypt and settled them in this place.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 12:11 -

“So the LORD sent Jerubbaal, Barak,[fn] Jephthah, and Samuel. He rescued you from the power of the enemies around you, and you lived securely.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 12:12 -

“But when you saw that Nahash king of the Ammonites was coming against you, you said to me, ‘No, we must have a king reign over us' ​— ​even though the LORD your God is your king.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 12:13 -

“Now here is the king you've chosen, the one you requested. Look, this is the king the LORD has placed over you.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 12:16 -

“Now, therefore, present yourselves and see this great thing that the LORD will do before your eyes.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 12:18 -

Samuel called on the LORD, and on that day the LORD sent thunder and rain. As a result, all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 12:22 -

“The LORD will not abandon his people, because of his great name and because he has determined to make you his own people.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 13:13 -

Samuel said to Saul, “You have been foolish. You have not kept the command the LORD your God gave you. It was at this time that the LORD would have permanently established your reign over Israel,

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 13:14 -

“but now your reign will not endure. The LORD has found a man after his own heart,[fn] and the LORD has appointed him as ruler over his people, because you have not done what the LORD commanded.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:6 -

Jonathan said to the attendant who carried his weapons, “Come on, let's cross over to the garrison of these uncircumcised men. Perhaps the LORD will help us. Nothing can keep the LORD from saving, whether by many or by few.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:10 -

“But if they say, ‘Come on up,' then we'll go up, because the LORD has handed them over to us ​— ​that will be our sign.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:12 -

The men of the garrison called to Jonathan and his armor-bearer. “Come on up, and we'll teach you a lesson! ” they said.

“Follow me,” Jonathan told his armor-bearer, “for the LORD has handed them over to Israel.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:23 -

So the LORD saved Israel that day.

The battle extended beyond Beth-aven,

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:39 -

“As surely as the LORD lives who saves Israel, even if it is because of my son Jonathan, he must die! ” Not one of the troops answered him.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:42 -

Then Saul said, “Cast the lot between me and my son Jonathan,” and Jonathan was selected.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:45 -

But the people said to Saul, “Must Jonathan die? He accomplished such a great deliverance for Israel! No, as the LORD lives, not a hair of his head will fall to the ground, for he worked with God's help today.” So the people redeemed Jonathan, and he did not die.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:1 -

Samuel told Saul, “The LORD sent me to anoint you as king over his people Israel. Now, listen to the words of the LORD.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:2 -

“This is what the LORD of Armies says: ‘I witnessed[fn] what the Amalekites did to the Israelites when they opposed them along the way as they were coming out of Egypt.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:13 -

When Samuel came to him, Saul said, “May the LORD bless you. I have carried out the LORD's instructions.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:16 -

“Stop! ” exclaimed Samuel. “Let me tell you what the LORD said to me last night.”

“Tell me,” he replied.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:17 -

Samuel continued, “Although you once considered yourself unimportant, haven't you become the leader of the tribes of Israel? The LORD anointed you king over Israel

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:18 -

“and then sent you on a mission and said, ‘Go and completely destroy the sinful Amalekites. Fight against them until you have annihilated them.'

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:20 -

“But I did obey the LORD! ” Saul answered.[fn] “I went on the mission the LORD gave me: I brought back King Agag of Amalek, and I completely destroyed the Amalekites.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:23 -

For rebellion is like the sin of divination,

and defiance is like wickedness and idolatry.

Because you have rejected the word of the LORD,

he has rejected you as king.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:26 -

Samuel replied to Saul, “I will not return with you. Because you rejected the word of the LORD, the LORD has rejected you from being king over Israel.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:28 -

Samuel said to him, “The LORD has torn the kingship of Israel away from you today and has given it to your neighbor who is better than you.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:35 -

Even to the day of his death, Samuel never saw Saul again. Samuel mourned for Saul, and the LORD regretted he had made Saul king over Israel.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:1 -

The LORD said to Samuel, “How long are you going to mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him as king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go. I am sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem because I have selected for myself a king from his sons.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:2 -

Samuel asked, “How can I go? Saul will hear about it and kill me! ”

The LORD answered, “Take a young cow with you and say, ‘I have come to sacrifice to the LORD.'

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:4 -

Samuel did what the LORD directed and went to Bethlehem. When the elders of the town met him, they trembled[fn] and asked, “Do[fn] you come in peace? ”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:7 -

But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or his stature because I have rejected him. Humans do not see what the LORD sees,[fn] for humans see what is visible, but the LORD sees the heart.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:8 -

Jesse called Abinadab and presented him to Samuel. “The LORD hasn't chosen this one either,” Samuel said.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:9 -

Then Jesse presented Shammah, but Samuel said, “The LORD hasn't chosen this one either.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:10 -

After Jesse presented seven of his sons to him, Samuel told Jesse, “The LORD hasn't chosen any of these.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:12 -

So Jesse sent for him. He had beautiful eyes and a healthy,[fn] handsome appearance.

Then the LORD said, “Anoint him, for he is the one.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:18 -

One of the young men answered, “I have seen a son of Jesse of Bethlehem who knows how to play the lyre. He is also a valiant man, a warrior, eloquent, handsome, and the LORD is with him.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:37 -

Then David said, “The LORD who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine.”

Saul said to David, “Go, and may the LORD be with you.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:46 -

“Today, the LORD will hand you over to me. Today, I'll strike you down, remove your head, and give the corpses[fn] of the Philistine camp to the birds of the sky and the wild creatures of the earth. Then all the world will know that Israel has a God,

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:47 -

“and this whole assembly will know that it is not by sword or by spear that the LORD saves, for the battle is the LORD's. He will hand you over to us.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 18:14 -

and continued to be successful in all his activities because the LORD was with him.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 18:28 -

Saul realized[fn] that the LORD was with David and that his daughter Michal loved him,

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:5 -

“He took his life in his hands when he struck down the Philistine, and the LORD brought about a great victory for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced, so why would you sin against innocent blood by killing David for no reason? ”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:6 -

Saul listened to Jonathan's advice and swore an oath: “As surely as the LORD lives, David will not be killed.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:3 -

But David said, “Your father certainly knows that I have found favor with you. He has said, ‘Jonathan must not know of this, or else he will be grieved.' ” David also swore, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you yourself live, there is but a step between me and death.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:12 -

“By the LORD, the God of Israel, I will sound out my father by this time tomorrow or the next day. If I find out that he is favorable toward you, will I not send for you and tell you?

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:13 -

“If my father intends to bring evil on you, may the LORD punish Jonathan and do so severely if I do not tell you and send you away so you may leave safely. May the LORD be with you, just as he was with my father.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:16 -

Then Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, “May the LORD hold David's enemies accountable.”[fn]

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:21 -

“Then I will send a servant and say, ‘Go and find the arrows! ' Now, if I expressly say to the servant, ‘Look, the arrows are on this side of you ​— ​get them,' then come, because as the LORD lives, it is safe for you and there is no problem.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:22 -

“But if I say this to the youth, ‘Look, the arrows are beyond you! ' then go, for the LORD is sending you away.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:23 -

“As for the matter you and I have spoken about, the LORD will be a witness[fn] between you and me forever.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:42 -

Jonathan then said to David, “Go in the assurance the two of us pledged in the name of the LORD when we said, ‘The LORD will be a witness between you and me and between my offspring and your offspring forever.' ” Then David left, and Jonathan went into the city.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:2 -

So David inquired of the LORD: “Should I launch an attack against these Philistines? ”

The LORD answered David, “Launch an attack against the Philistines and rescue Keilah.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:4 -

“Will the citizens of Keilah hand me over to him? Will Saul come down as your servant has heard? LORD God of Israel, please tell your servant.”

David then stayed in the wilderness strongholds and in the hill country of the Wilderness of Ziph. Saul searched for him every day, but God did not hand David over to him.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:4 -

so they said to him, “Look, this is the day the LORD told you about: ‘I will hand your enemy over to you so you can do to him whatever you desire.' ” Then David got up and secretly cut off the corner of Saul's robe.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:10 -

“You can see with your own eyes that the LORD handed you over to me today in the cave. Someone advised me to kill you, but I[fn][fn] took pity on you and said: I won't lift my hand against my lord, since he is the LORD's anointed.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:12 -

“May the LORD judge between me and you, and may the LORD take vengeance on you for me, but my hand will never be against you.

“Otherwise, as surely as the LORD God of Israel lives, who prevented me from harming you, if you had not come quickly to meet me, Nabal wouldn't have had any males[fn] left by morning light.”

About ten days later, the LORD struck Nabal dead.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:39 -

When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Blessed be the LORD who championed my cause against Nabal's insults and restrained his servant from doing evil. The LORD brought Nabal's evil deeds back on his own head.”

Then David sent messengers to speak to Abigail about marrying him.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:8 -

Then Abishai said to David, “Today God has delivered your enemy to you. Let me thrust the spear through him into the ground just once. I won't have to strike him twice! ”

David added, “As the LORD lives, the LORD will certainly strike him down: either his day will come and he will die, or he will go into battle and perish.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:16 -

“What you have done is not good. As the LORD lives, all of you deserve to die[fn] since you didn't protect your lord, the LORD's anointed. Now look around; where are the king's spear and water jug that were by his head? ”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:23 -

“The LORD will repay every man for his righteousness and his loyalty. I wasn't willing to lift my hand against the LORD's anointed, even though the LORD handed you over to me today.

He inquired of the LORD, but the LORD did not answer him in dreams or by the Urim or by the prophets.

Then Saul swore to her by the LORD: “As surely as the LORD lives, no punishment will come to you[fn] from this.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:16 -

Samuel answered, “Since the LORD has turned away from you and has become your enemy, why are you asking me?

“The LORD has done[fn] exactly what he said through me: The LORD has torn the kingship out of your hand and given it to your neighbor David.

So Achish summoned David and told him, “As the LORD lives, you are an honorable man. I think it is good[fn] to have you fighting[fn] in this unit with me, because I have found no fault in you from the day you came to me until today. But the leaders don't think you are reliable.

They brought Ish-bosheth's head to David at Hebron and said to the king, “Here's the head of Ish-bosheth son of Saul, your enemy who intended to take your life. Today the LORD has granted vengeance to my lord the king against Saul and his offspring.”

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 5:10 -

David became more and more powerful, and the LORD God of Armies was with him.

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 5:12 -

Then David knew that the LORD had established him as king over Israel and had exalted his kingdom for the sake of his people Israel.

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 5:19 -

Then David inquired of the LORD: “Should I attack the Philistines? Will you hand them over to me? ”

The LORD replied to David, “Attack, for I will certainly hand the Philistines over to you.”

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 5:20 -

So David went to Baal-perazim and defeated them there and said, “Like a bursting flood, the LORD has burst out against my enemies before me.” Therefore, he named that place The Lord Bursts Out.[fn]

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 5:23 -

So David inquired of the LORD, and he answered, “Do not attack directly, but circle around behind them and come at them opposite the balsam trees.

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 5:24 -

“When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, act decisively, for then the LORD will have gone out ahead of you to strike down the army of the Philistines.”

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 5:25 -

So David did exactly as the LORD commanded him, and he struck down the Philistines all the way from Geba to Gezer.

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 6:7 -

Then the LORD's anger burned against Uzzah, and God struck him dead on the spot for his irreverence, and he died there next to the ark of God.

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 6:8 -

David was angry because of the LORD's outburst against Uzzah, so he named that place Outburst Against Uzzah,[fn] as it is today.

David replied to Michal, “It was before the LORD who chose me over your father and his whole family to appoint me ruler over the LORD's people Israel. I will dance before the LORD,

He placed garrisons throughout Edom, and all the Edomites were subject to David. The LORD made David victorious wherever he went.

“Be strong! Let's prove ourselves strong for our people and for the cities of our God. May the LORD's will be done.”[fn]

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 12:1 -

So the LORD sent Nathan to David. When he arrived, he said to him:

There were two men in a certain city, one rich and the other poor.

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 12:5 -

David was infuriated with the man and said to Nathan, “As the LORD lives, the man who did this deserves to die!

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 12:7 -

Nathan replied to David, “You are the man! This is what the LORD God of Israel says: ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I rescued you from Saul.

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 12:11 -

“This is what the LORD says, ‘I am going to bring disaster on you from your own family: I will take your wives and give them to another[fn] before your very eyes, and he will sleep with them in broad daylight.[fn]

David responded to Nathan, “I have sinned against the LORD.”

Then Nathan replied to David, “And the LORD has taken away your sin; you will not die.

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 12:15 -

Then Nathan went home.

The LORD struck the baby that Uriah's wife had borne to David, and he became deathly ill.

He answered, “While the baby was alive, I fasted and wept because I thought, ‘Who knows? The LORD may be gracious to me and let him live.'

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 12:24 -

Then David comforted his wife Bathsheba; he went to her and slept with her. She gave birth to a son and named[fn] him Solomon.[fn] The LORD loved him,

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:11 -

She replied, “Please, may the king invoke the LORD your God, so that the avenger of blood will not increase the loss, and they will not eliminate my son! ”

“As the LORD lives,” he vowed, “not a hair of your son will fall to the ground.”

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:17 -

“Your servant thought: May the word of my lord the king bring relief, for my lord the king is able to discern the good and the bad like the angel of God. May the LORD your God be with you.”

“For your servant made a vow when I lived in Geshur of Aram, saying, ‘If the LORD really brings me back to Jerusalem, I will worship the LORD in Hebron.' ”[fn]

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 15:15 -

The king's servants said to the king, “Whatever my lord the king decides, we are your servants.”

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 15:20 -

“Besides, you only arrived yesterday; should I make you wander around with us today while I go wherever I can? Go back and take your brothers with you. May the LORD show you[fn] kindness and faithfulness.”

“The LORD has paid you back for all the blood of the house of Saul in whose place you became king, and the LORD has handed the kingdom over to your son Absalom. Look, you are in trouble because you're a man of bloodshed! ”

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 16:10 -

The king replied, “Sons of Zeruiah, do we agree on anything? He curses me this way because the LORD[fn] told him, ‘Curse David! ' Therefore, who can say, ‘Why did you do that? ' ”

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 16:11 -

Then David said to Abishai and all his servants, “Look, my own son, my own flesh and blood,[fn] intends to take my life ​— ​how much more now this Benjaminite! Leave him alone and let him curse me; the LORD has told him to.

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 16:12 -

“Perhaps the LORD will see my affliction[fn] and restore goodness to me instead of Shimei's curses today.”

“Not at all,” Hushai answered Absalom. “I am on the side of the one that the LORD, this people, and all the men of Israel have chosen. I will stay with him.

Since the LORD had decreed that Ahithophel's good advice be undermined in order to bring about Absalom's ruin, Absalom and all the men of Israel said, “The advice of Hushai the Archite is better than Ahithophel's advice.”

Does the Almighty pervert what is right?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:20 -

Look, God does not reject a person of integrity,

and he will not support[fn] evildoers.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:5 -

But if only God would speak

and open his lips against you!

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:11 -

God hands me over to the unjust;[fn]

he throws me to the wicked.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:3 -

You have humiliated me ten times now,

and you mistreat[fn] me without shame.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:22 -

Why do you persecute me as God does?

Will you never get enough of my flesh?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 22:17 -

They were the ones who said to God, “Leave us alone! ”

and “What can the Almighty do to us? ”[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:16 -

God has made my heart faint;

the Almighty has terrified me.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 27:2 -

As God lives, who has deprived me of justice,

and the Almighty who has made me bitter,

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 27:9 -

Will God hear his cry

when distress comes on him?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:6 -

let God weigh me on accurate scales,

and he will recognize my integrity.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:14 -

what could I do when God stands up to judge?

How should I answer him when he calls me to account?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:14 -

For God speaks time and again,

but a person may not notice it.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 34:5 -

For Job has declared, “I am righteous,

yet God has deprived me of justice.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 34:23 -

God does not need to examine a person further,

that one should[fn] approach him in court.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 35:13 -

Indeed, God does not listen to empty cries,

and the Almighty does not take note of it —

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 36:5 -

Yes, God is mighty, but he despises no one;

he understands all things.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:1 -

Then the LORD answered Job from the whirlwind. He said:

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 40:1 -

The LORD answered Job:

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 40:6 -

Then the LORD answered Job from the whirlwind:

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 42:7 -

After the LORD had finished speaking[fn] to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “I am angry with you and your two friends, for you have not spoken the truth about me, as my servant Job has.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 42:9 -

Then Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the LORD had told them, and the LORD accepted Job's prayer.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 42:10 -

After Job had prayed for his friends, the LORD restored his fortunes and doubled his previous possessions.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 42:11 -

All his brothers, sisters, and former acquaintances came to him and dined with him in his house. They sympathized with him and comforted him concerning all the adversity the LORD had brought on him. Each one gave him a piece of silver[fn] and a gold earring.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 42:12 -

So the LORD blessed the last part of Job's life more than the first. He owned fourteen thousand sheep and goats, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and one thousand female donkeys.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 42:17 -

Then Job died, old and full of days.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 1:6 -

For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous,

but the way of the wicked leads to ruin.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 2:4 -

The one enthroned[fn] in heaven laughs;

the Lord ridicules them.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 2:7 -

I will declare the LORD's decree.

He said to me, “You are my Son;[fn]

today I have become your Father.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 2:12 -

Pay homage to[fn] the Son or he will be angry

and you will perish in your rebellion,[fn]

for his anger may ignite at any moment.

All who take refuge in him are happy.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 3:5 -

I lie down and sleep;

I wake again because the LORD sustains me.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 4:3 -

Know that the LORD has set apart

the faithful for himself;

the LORD will hear when I call to him.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 5:6 -

You destroy those who tell lies;

the LORD abhors violent and treacherous people.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 6:8 -

Depart from me, all evildoers,

for the LORD has heard the sound of my weeping.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 6:9 -

The LORD has heard my plea for help;

the LORD accepts my prayer.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 7:8 -

The LORD judges the peoples;

vindicate me, LORD,

according to my righteousness and my integrity.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 8:1 -

LORD, our Lord,

how magnificent is your name throughout the earth!

You have covered the heavens with your majesty.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 8:9 -

LORD, our Lord,

how magnificent is your name throughout the earth!

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 9:7 -

But the LORD sits enthroned forever;

he has established his throne for judgment.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 9:9 -

The LORD is a refuge for the persecuted,

a refuge in times of trouble.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 9:16 -

The LORD has made himself known;

he has executed justice,

snaring the wicked

by the work of their hands.HiggaionSelah

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 10:16 -

The LORD is King forever and ever;

the nations will perish from his land.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 10:17 -

LORD, you have heard the desire of the humble;

you will strengthen their hearts.

You will listen carefully,

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 11:4 -

The LORD is in his holy temple;

the LORD ​— ​his throne is in heaven.

His eyes watch;

his gaze[fn] examines everyone.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 11:5 -

The LORD examines the righteous,

but he hates the wicked

and[fn] those who love violence.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 11:7 -

For the LORD is righteous; he loves righteous deeds.

The upright will see his face.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 12:3 -

May the LORD cut off all flattering lips

and the tongue that speaks boastfully.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 12:5 -

“Because of the devastation of the needy

and the groaning of the poor,

I will now rise up,” says the LORD.

“I will provide safety for the one who longs for it.”

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 14:2 -

The LORD looks down from heaven on the human race[fn]

to see if there is one who is wise,

one who seeks God.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 14:6 -

You sinners frustrate the plans of the oppressed,

but the LORD is his refuge.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 16:5 -

LORD, you are my portion[fn]

and my cup of blessing;

you hold my future.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 18:1 -

I love you, LORD, my strength.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 18:2 -

The LORD is my rock,

my fortress, and my deliverer,

my God, my rock where I seek refuge,

my shield and the horn of my salvation,

my stronghold.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 18:13 -

The LORD thundered from[fn] heaven;

the Most High made his voice heard.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 18:18 -

They confronted me in the day of my calamity,

but the LORD was my support.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 18:20 -

The LORD rewarded me

according to my righteousness;

he repaid me

according to the cleanness of my hands.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 18:24 -

So the LORD repaid me

according to my righteousness,

according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 18:46 -

The LORD lives ​— ​blessed be my rock!

The God of my salvation is exalted.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 20:1 -

May the LORD answer you in a day of trouble;

may the name of Jacob's God protect you.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 20:5 -

Let us shout for joy at your victory

and lift the banner in the name of our God.

May the LORD fulfill all your requests.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 20:6 -

Now I know that the LORD gives victory to his anointed;

he will answer him from his holy heaven

with mighty victories from his right hand.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 21:9 -

You will make them burn

like a fiery furnace when you appear;

the LORD will engulf them in his wrath,

and fire will devour them.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 22:31 -

They will come and declare his righteousness;

to a people yet to be born

they will declare what he has done.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 23:1 -

The LORD is my shepherd;

I have what I need.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 24:8 -

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 27:1 -

The LORD is my light and my salvation —

whom should I fear?

The LORD is the strength of his people;[fn]

he is a stronghold of salvation for his anointed.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 29:3 -

The voice of the LORD is above the waters.

The God of glory thunders —

the LORD, above the vast water,

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 29:5 -

The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars;

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 29:8 -

The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness;

the LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 29:10 -

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 68:11 -

The Lord gave the command;

a great company of women brought the good news:

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 68:16 -

Why gaze with envy, you mountain peaks,

at the mountain God desired for his abode?

The LORD will dwell there forever!

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 68:17 -

God's chariots are tens of thousands,

thousands and thousands;

The Lord said, “I will bring them back from Bashan;

I will bring them back from the depths of the sea

For you are my hope, Lord GOD,

my confidence from my youth.

The Lord awoke as if from sleep,

like a warrior from the effects of wine.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 81:10 -

the LORD on high is majestic.

they are futile.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 94:14 -

The LORD will not leave his people

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 94:17 -

If the LORD had not been my helper,

But the LORD is my refuge;

my God is the rock of my protection.

Say among the nations, “The LORD reigns.

The world is firmly established; it cannot be shaken.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:34 -

They did not destroy the peoples

Let all the people say, “Amen! ”

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 110:5 -

The Lord is at your right hand;

he will crush kings on the day of his anger.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 111:4 -

He has caused his wondrous works to be remembered.

The LORD is gracious and compassionate.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 113:4 -

The LORD is exalted above all the nations,

his glory above the heavens.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 113:5 -

Who is like the LORD our God —

the one enthroned on high,

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 115:12 -

The LORD remembers us and will bless us.

He will bless the house of Israel;

he will bless the house of Aaron;

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 115:14 -

May the LORD add to your numbers,

both yours and your children's.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 116:1 -

I love the LORD because he has heard

my appeal for mercy.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 116:5 -

The LORD is gracious and righteous;

our God is compassionate.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 116:6 -

The LORD guards the inexperienced;

I was helpless, and he saved me.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 116:7 -

Return to your rest, my soul,

for the LORD has been good to you.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 118:6 -

The LORD is for me; I will not be afraid.

What can a mere mortal do to me?

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 118:7 -

The LORD is my helper;

therefore, I will look in triumph on those who hate me.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 118:13 -

They[fn] pushed me hard to make me fall,

but the LORD helped me.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 118:14 -

The LORD is my strength and my song;

he has become my salvation.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 118:18 -

The LORD disciplined me severely

but did not give me over to death.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 118:24 -

This is the day the LORD has made;

let's rejoice and be glad in it.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 118:27 -

The LORD is God and has given us light.

Bind the festival sacrifice with cords

to the horns of the altar.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 121:5 -

The LORD protects you;

the LORD is a shelter right by your side.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 121:7 -

The LORD will protect you from all harm;

he will protect your life.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 121:8 -

The LORD will protect your coming and going

both now and forever.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 124:1 -

If the LORD had not been on our side —

let Israel say —

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 124:2 -

if the LORD had not been on our side

when people attacked us,

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 124:6 -

Blessed be the LORD,

who has not let us be ripped apart by their teeth.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 125:2 -

The mountains surround Jerusalem

and the LORD surrounds his people,

both now and forever.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 125:5 -

But as for those who turn aside to crooked ways,

the LORD will banish them with the evildoers.

Peace be with Israel.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 126:2 -

Our mouths were filled with laughter then,

and our tongues with shouts of joy.

Then they said among the nations,

“The LORD has done great things for them.”

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 126:3 -

The LORD had done great things for us;

we were joyful.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 127:1 -

Unless the LORD builds a house,

its builders labor over it in vain;

unless the LORD watches over a city,

the watchman stays alert in vain.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 128:5 -

May the LORD bless you from Zion,

so that you will see the prosperity of Jerusalem

all the days of your life

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 129:4 -

The LORD is righteous;

he has cut the ropes of the wicked.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 132:11 -

The LORD swore an oath to David,

a promise he will not abandon:

“I will set one of your offspring[fn]

on your throne.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 132:13 -

For the LORD has chosen Zion;

he has desired it for his home:

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 133:3 -

It is like the dew of Hermon[fn]

falling on the mountains of Zion.

For there the LORD has appointed the blessing —

life forevermore.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 134:3 -

May the LORD,

Maker of heaven and earth,

bless you from Zion.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 135:3 -

Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good;

sing praise to his name, for it is delightful.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 135:4 -

For the LORD has chosen Jacob for himself,

Israel as his treasured possession.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 135:5 -

For I know that the LORD is great;

our Lord is greater than all gods.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 135:6 -

The LORD does whatever he pleases

in heaven and on earth,

in the seas and all the depths.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 135:14 -

For the LORD will vindicate his people

and have compassion on his servants.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 135:21 -

Blessed be the LORD from Zion;

he dwells in Jerusalem.

Hallelujah!

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 136:23 -

He remembered us in our humiliation

His faithful love endures forever.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 138:6 -

Though the LORD is exalted,

he takes note of the humble;

but he knows the haughty from a distance.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 138:8 -

The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me.

LORD, your faithful love endures forever;

do not abandon the work of your hands.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 140:12 -

I[fn] know that the LORD upholds

the just cause of the poor,

justice for the needy.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 144:1 -

Blessed be the LORD, my rock

who trains my hands for battle

and my fingers for warfare.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 144:15 -

Happy are the people with such blessings.

Happy are the people whose God is the LORD.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 145:3 -

The LORD is great and is highly praised;

his greatness is unsearchable.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 145:8 -

The LORD is gracious and compassionate,

slow to anger and great in faithful love.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 145:9 -

The LORD is good to everyone;

his compassion rests on all he has made.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 145:13 -

Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom;

The LORD is faithful in all his words

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 145:14 -

The LORD helps all who fall;

he raises up all who are oppressed.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 145:17 -

The LORD is righteous in all his ways

and faithful in all his acts.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 145:18 -

The LORD is near all who call out to him,

all who call out to him with integrity.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 145:20 -

The LORD guards all those who love him,

but he destroys all the wicked.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 146:7 -

executing justice for the exploited

and giving food to the hungry.

The LORD frees prisoners.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 146:8 -

The LORD opens the eyes of the blind.

The LORD raises up those who are oppressed.[fn]

The LORD loves the righteous.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 146:9 -

The LORD protects resident aliens

and helps the fatherless and the widow,

but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 146:10 -

The LORD reigns forever;

Zion, your God reigns for all generations.

Hallelujah!

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 147:2 -

The LORD rebuilds Jerusalem;

he gathers Israel's exiled people.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 147:5 -

Our Lord is great, vast in power;

his understanding is infinite.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 147:6 -

The LORD helps the oppressed

but brings the wicked to the ground.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 147:11 -

The LORD values those who fear him,

those who put their hope in his faithful love.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 149:4 -

For the LORD takes pleasure in his people;

he adorns the humble with salvation.

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 1:3 -

for receiving prudent instruction

in righteousness, justice, and integrity;

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 1:5 -

let a wise person listen and increase learning,

and let a discerning person obtain guidance —

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:6 -

For the LORD gives wisdom;

from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 3:12 -

for the LORD disciplines the one he loves,

just as a father disciplines the son in whom he delights.

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 3:26 -

for the LORD will be your confidence[fn]

and will keep your foot from a snare.

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 3:34 -

He mocks those who mock

but gives grace to the humble.

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:16 -

The LORD hates six things;

in fact, seven are detestable to him:

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 8:22 -

“The LORD acquired[fn] me

at the beginning of his creation,[fn]

before his works of long ago.

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 8:26 -

“before he made the land, the fields,

or the first soil on earth.

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 10:3 -

The LORD will not let the righteous go hungry,

but he denies the wicked what they crave.

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 15:25 -

The LORD tears apart the house of the proud,

but he protects the widow's territory.

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 17:11 -

An evil person desires only rebellion;

a cruel messenger[fn] will be sent against him.

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 21:2 -

All a person's ways seem right to him,

but the LORD weighs hearts.

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 22:2 -

Rich and poor have this in common:[fn]

the LORD makes them all.

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 22:11 -

The one who loves a pure heart

and gracious lips ​— ​the king is his friend.

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 22:23 -

for the LORD will champion their cause

and will plunder those who plunder them.

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 23:11 -

for their Redeemer is strong,

and he will champion their cause against you.

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 24:12 -

If you say, “But we didn't know about this,”

won't he who weighs hearts consider it?

Won't he who protects your life know?

Won't he repay a person according to his work?

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 24:18 -

or the LORD will see, be displeased,

and turn his wrath away from him.

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 25:22 -

for you will heap burning coals on his head,

and the LORD will reward you.

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 29:13 -

The poor and the oppressor have this in common:[fn]

the LORD gives light to the eyes of both.

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 29:23 -

A person's pride will humble him,

but a humble spirit will gain honor.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 1:2 -

Listen, heavens, and pay attention, earth,

for the LORD has spoken:

“I have raised children[fn] and brought them up,

but they have rebelled against me.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 1:9 -

If the LORD of Armies

had not left us a few survivors,

we would be like Sodom,

we would resemble Gomorrah.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 1:11 -

“What are all your sacrifices to me? ”

asks the LORD.

“I have had enough of burnt offerings and rams

and the fat of well-fed cattle;

I have no desire for the blood of bulls,

lambs, or male goats.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 1:18 -

“Come, let's settle this,”

says the LORD.

“Though your sins are scarlet,

they will be as white as snow;

though they are crimson red,

they will be like wool.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 1:24 -

Therefore the Lord GOD of Armies,

the Mighty One of Israel, declares:

“Ah, I will get even with my foes;

I will take revenge against my enemies.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 2:11 -

The pride of mankind[fn] will be humbled,

and human loftiness will be brought low;

the LORD alone will be exalted on that day.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 2:17 -

The pride of mankind will be brought low,

and human loftiness will be humbled;

the LORD alone will be exalted on that day.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 3:1 -

Note this: The Lord GOD of Armies

is about to remove from Jerusalem and from Judah

every kind of security:

the entire supply of bread and water,

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 3:13 -

The LORD rises to argue the case

and stands to judge the people.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 3:14 -

The LORD brings this charge

against the elders and leaders of his people:

“You have devastated the vineyard.

The plunder from the poor is in your houses.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 3:16 -

The LORD also says:

Because the daughters of Zion are haughty,

walking with heads held high

and seductive eyes,

prancing along,

jingling their ankle bracelets,

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 3:17 -

the Lord will put scabs on the heads

of the daughters of Zion,

and the LORD will shave their foreheads bare.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 3:18 -

On that day the Lord will strip their finery: ankle bracelets, headbands, crescents,

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 4:4 -

when the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion and cleansed the bloodguilt from the heart of Jerusalem by a spirit of judgment and a spirit of burning.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 5:16 -

But the LORD of Armies is exalted by his justice,

and the holy God demonstrates his holiness through his righteousness.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 5:25 -

Therefore the LORD's anger burned against his people.

He raised his hand against them and struck them;

the mountains quaked,

and their corpses were like garbage in the streets.

In all this, his anger has not turned away,

and his hand is still raised to strike.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 6:3 -

And one called to another:

Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of Armies;

his glory fills the whole earth.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 7:3 -

The LORD said to Isaiah, “Go out with your son Shear-jashub[fn] to meet Ahaz at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, by the road to the Launderer's Field.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 7:7 -

This is what the Lord GOD says:

It will not happen; it will not occur.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 7:10 -

Then the LORD spoke again to Ahaz:

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 7:14 -

“Therefore, the Lord himself will give you[fn] a sign: See, the virgin will conceive,[fn] have a son, and name him Immanuel.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 7:18 -

On that day

the LORD will whistle to flies

at the farthest streams of the Nile

and to bees in the land of Assyria.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 7:20 -

On that day the Lord will use a razor hired from beyond the Euphrates River ​— ​the king of Assyria ​— ​to shave the hair on your heads, the hair on your legs, and even your beards.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 8:1 -

Then the LORD said to me, “Take a large piece of parchment[fn] and write on it with an ordinary pen:[fn] Maher-shalal-hash-baz.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 8:5 -

The LORD spoke to me again:

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 8:7 -

the Lord will certainly bring against them

the mighty rushing water of the Euphrates River —

the king of Assyria and all his glory.

It will overflow its channels

and spill over all its banks.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 8:10 -

Devise a plan; it will fail.

Make a prediction; it will not happen.

For God is with us.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 8:11 -

For this is what the LORD said to me with great power, to keep[fn] me from going the way of this people:

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 9:4 -

For you have shattered their oppressive yoke

and the rod on their shoulders,

the staff of their oppressor,

just as you did on the day of Midian.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 9:8 -

The Lord sent a message against Jacob;

it came against Israel.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 9:14 -

So the LORD cut off Israel's head and tail,

palm branch and reed in a single day.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 10:12 -

But when the Lord finishes all his work against Mount Zion and Jerusalem, he will say, “I[fn] will punish the king of Assyria for his arrogant acts and the proud look in his eyes.”

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 10:16 -

Therefore the Lord GOD of Armies

will inflict an emaciating disease

on the well-fed of Assyria,

and he will kindle a burning fire

under its glory.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 10:24 -

Therefore, the Lord GOD of Armies says this: “My people who dwell in Zion, do not fear Assyria, though they strike you with a rod and raise their staff over you as the Egyptians did.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 10:33 -

Look, the Lord GOD of Armies

will chop off the branches with terrifying power,

and the tall trees will be cut down,

the high trees felled.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 11:11 -

On that day the Lord will extend his hand a second time to recover the remnant of his people who survive ​— ​from Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, and the coasts and islands of the west.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 11:15 -

The LORD will divide[fn][fn] the Gulf of Suez.[fn]

He will wave his hand over the Euphrates

with his mighty wind

and will split it into seven streams,

letting people walk through on foot.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 12:2 -

“Indeed, God is my salvation;

I will trust him and not be afraid,

for the LORD, the LORD himself,

is my strength and my song.

He has become my salvation.”

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 13:4 -

Listen, a commotion on the mountains,

like that of a mighty people!

Listen, an uproar among the kingdoms,

like nations being gathered together!

The LORD of Armies is mobilizing an army for war.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 13:5 -

They are coming from a distant land,

from the farthest horizon —

the LORD and the weapons of his wrath —

to destroy the whole country.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 14:1 -

For the LORD will have compassion on Jacob and will choose Israel again. He will settle them on their own land. The resident alien will join them and be united with the house of Jacob.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 14:22 -

“I will rise up against them” ​— ​this is the declaration of the LORD of Armies ​— ​“and I will cut off from Babylon her reputation, remnant, offspring, and posterity” ​— ​this is the LORD's declaration.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 14:24 -

The LORD of Armies has sworn:

As I have purposed, so it will be;

as I have planned it, so it will happen.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 14:26 -

This is the plan prepared

for the whole earth,

and this is the hand stretched out

against all the nations.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 14:32 -

What answer will be given to the messengers from that nation?

The LORD has founded Zion,

and his oppressed people find refuge in her.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 16:13 -

This is the message that the LORD previously announced about Moab.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 17:3 -

The fortress disappears from Ephraim,

and a kingdom from Damascus.

The remnant of Aram will be

like the splendor of the Israelites.

This is the declaration of the LORD of Armies.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 17:6 -

Only gleanings will be left in Israel,

as if an olive tree had been beaten —

two or three olives at the very top of the tree,

four or five on its fruitful branches.

This is the declaration of the LORD,

the God of Israel.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 18:4 -

For the LORD said to me:

I will quietly look out from my place,

like shimmering heat in sunshine,

like a rain cloud in harvest heat.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 19:1 -

A pronouncement concerning Egypt:

Look, the LORD rides on a swift cloud

and is coming to Egypt.

Egypt's worthless idols will tremble before him,

and Egypt will lose heart.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 19:4 -

I will hand over Egypt to harsh masters,

and a strong king will rule it.

This is the declaration of the Lord GOD of Armies.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 19:12 -

Where then are your wise men?

Let them tell you and reveal

what the LORD of Armies has planned against Egypt.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 19:14 -

The LORD has mixed within her a spirit of confusion.

The leaders have made Egypt stagger in all she does,

as a drunkard staggers in his vomit.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 19:17 -

The land of Judah will terrify Egypt; whenever Judah is mentioned, Egypt will tremble because of what the LORD of Armies has planned against it.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 19:20 -

It will be a sign and witness to the LORD of Armies in the land of Egypt. When they cry out to the LORD because of their oppressors, he will send them a savior and leader, and he will rescue them.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 19:21 -

The LORD will make himself known to Egypt, and Egypt will know the LORD on that day. They will offer sacrifices and offerings; they will make vows to the LORD and fulfill them.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 19:22 -

The LORD will strike Egypt, striking and healing. Then they will turn to the LORD, and he will be receptive to their prayers and heal them.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 19:25 -

The LORD of Armies will bless them, saying, “Egypt my people, Assyria my handiwork, and Israel my inheritance are blessed.”

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 20:2 -

during that time the LORD had spoken through Isaiah son of Amoz, saying, “Go, take off your sackcloth from your waist and remove the sandals from your feet,” and he did that, going stripped and barefoot ​— ​

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 20:3 -

the LORD said, “As my servant Isaiah has gone stripped and barefoot three years as a sign and omen against Egypt and Cush,

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 21:6 -

For the Lord has said to me,

“Go, post a lookout;

let him report what he sees.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 21:16 -

For the Lord said this to me: “Within one year, as a hired worker counts years, all the glory of Kedar will be gone.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 21:17 -

“The remaining Kedarite archers will be few in number.” For the LORD, the God of Israel, has spoken.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:12 -

On that day the Lord GOD of Armies

called for weeping, for wailing, for shaven heads,

and for the wearing of sackcloth.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:15 -

The Lord GOD of Armies said, “Go to Shebna, that steward who is in charge of the palace, and say to him:

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:17 -

“Look, you strong man! The LORD is about to shake you violently. He will take hold of you,

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:25 -

“On that day” ​— ​the declaration of the LORD of Armies ​— ​“the peg that was driven into a firm place will give way, be cut off, and fall, and the load on it will be destroyed.” Indeed, the LORD has spoken.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 23:9 -

The LORD of Armies planned it,

to desecrate all its glorious beauty,

to disgrace all the honored ones of the earth.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 23:11 -

He stretched out his hand over the sea;

he made kingdoms tremble.

The LORD has commanded

that the Canaanite fortresses be destroyed.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 24:1 -

Look, the LORD is stripping the earth bare

and making it desolate.

He will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants:

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 24:2 -

people and priest alike,

servant and master,

female servant and mistress,

buyer and seller,

lender and borrower,

creditor and debtor.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 24:23 -

The moon will be put to shame

and the sun disgraced,

because the LORD of Armies will reign as king

on Mount Zion in Jerusalem,

and he will display his glory

in the presence of his elders.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 25:6 -

On this mountain,[fn]

the LORD of Armies will prepare for all the peoples a feast of choice meat,

a feast with aged wine, prime cuts of choice meat,[fn] fine vintage wine.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 26:21 -

For look, the LORD is coming from his place

to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity.

The earth will reveal the blood shed on it

and will no longer conceal her slain.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 27:4 -

I am not angry.

If only there were thorns and briers for me to battle,

I would trample them

and burn them to the ground.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 27:12 -

On that day

the LORD will thresh grain from the Euphrates River

as far as the Wadi of Egypt,

and you Israelites will be gathered one by one.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 28:5 -

On that day

the LORD of Armies will become a crown of beauty

and a diadem of splendor

to the remnant of his people,

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 28:16 -

Therefore the Lord GOD said:

“Look, I have laid a stone in Zion,

a tested stone,

a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation;

the one who believes will be unshakable.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 29:10 -

For the LORD has poured out on you

an overwhelming urge to[fn] sleep;

he has shut your eyes (the prophets)

and covered your heads (the seers).

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 29:13 -

The Lord said:

These people approach me with their speeches

to honor me with lip-service,[fn]
