Informace o Studijní on-line bibli (SOB) (CZ)

   Aplikace, kterou právě používáte, je biblický program Studijní on-line bible (dále jen SOB) verze 2. Jedná se prozatím o testovací verzi, která je oproti původní verzi postavena na HTML5, využívá JavaScriptovou knihovnu JQuery a framework Bootstrap. Nová verze přináší v některých ohledech zjednodušení, v některých ohledech je tomu naopak. Hlavní výhodou by měla být možnost využívání knihovny JQuery pro novou verzi tooltipů (ze kterých je nově možné kopírovat jejich obsah, případně kliknout na aktivní odkazy na nich). V nové verzi by zobrazení překladů i vyhledávek mělo vypadat "profesionálněji", k dispozici by měly být navíc např. informace o modulech apod. Přehrávač namluvených překladů je nyní postaven na technologii HTML5, tzn., že již ke svému provozu nepotřebuje podporu Flash playeru (který již oficiálně např. pro platformu Android není k dispozici, a u kterého se počítá s postupným všeobecným útlumem).

Information about the "Online Bible Study" (SOB) (EN)

   Application you're using is a biblical program Online Bible Study (SOB), version Nr. 2. This is yet a testing release, which is (compared to the previous version) based on HTML5, uses JQuery JavaScript library and Bootstrap framework. The new version brings in some aspects simplifications. The major advantage should be the possibility of using JQuery for the new version tooltips (from which it is now possible to copy their content, or click on active hyperlinks). In the new version are also available informations about the modules and the like. The player of the narrated translations is now HTML5 powered (he does not need Flash player). I hope, that the new features will be gradually added.

Hello, I would like to contact developers to tell me where I can get "portuguese almeida revised and updated (with strong’s numbers)" because I want to make a website for studies. Please, for the growth of the kingdom of God.

Rád tuto stránku navštěvuji a učím se z ní v posledních týdnech. Velmi mi pomohla jazykově a přiblížila mi význam některých veršů, jejichž plný význam nebo zabarvení bylo ztraceno v překladu. "Obsluha" (tady se za výraz velmi omlouvám) je pohotová a technicky znalá. Velmi doporučuji.

Hallo Libor Vielen Dank für den Hinweis. Die kroatische Bibel reicht. Soweit ich eine Freundin verstand, ist bosnisch und kroatisch das gleiche und serbisch ähnlich, war ja früher auch ein Land, Jugoslawien , nur das eben da zwischen islamischen und traditionell christlichen Streit von aussen reingebracht und geschürrt wurde. Ich leite die kroatische Bibelsuche gleich weiter Einige können lesen, einige nicht und so ist das Super installiert, das man die Bibel auch auf Audio stellen kann. Toll ist es, das auch die Nafterli Herz Tur-Sinai Bibel in deutsch dabei ist, denn da finde ich vieles, speziell Psalm 91 als Beispiel authentischer formuliert, als in allen anderen deutschen Bibeln. Das jüdische Neue Testament von David H. Stern habe ich auch, aber die Nafterli Herz Tur-Sinai Bibel ist mir persönlich sehr wichtig. Vielen Dank Libor für diese kompakte Internet Webseiten- Arbeit für den Herrn, uns sein noch besser studieren und weiter geben zu können Shalom .

Wer hat diese Seite ermöglicht und wer wartet diese Seiteund bezahlt die Website Kosten ? Mit dieser Website dient ihr Gott dem Vater zum Bau der Gemeinde Gottes. Und wir wurden im Buch Korinther aufgerufen, da wo wir genährt werden, auch zu unterstützen. Ich bitte den Admin dieser Seite, mir per email die Kontonummer mitzuteilen, dass ich mit Gaben mtl.segnen kann und nicht nur fromme Sprüche loslasse, denn seit kurzem bekam ich den Link dieser Seite und arbeite sehr gerne auf dieser Seite und gebe den Link weiter. Bitte das sich der Webseitengründer meldet. Danke.

Herzlichen Dank für Ihr Angebot. Aber ich brauche Ihre Hilfe nicht, ich leide nicht an Mangel :-) Wenn Sie helfen möchten, helfen Sie bitte jemandem in Ihrer Nähe.    Libor

Vielen Dank für diese Möglichkeit Bibel-Ausgaben vergleichen zu können. Eine sehr gut aufgebaute Strukturierung und sehr bedien- freundlich. Ich hätte eine Bittende Frage. Habt Ihr auch die bosnische Bibel oder besteht da Möglichkeit, auch für Bosnieer, Kroaten, Serben die bosnische Bibel hier zu hinterlegen. Ich habe seit 2015 sehr viel Kontakt zu Bosnierer , Kroaten, Serben und Albanern Kosovo und muß Bibelstellen immer auf google übersetzen, um ihnen die Bibel näher zu bringen, was sie dankbar annehmen, aber bei Google habe ich nie die Sicherheit, dass die Übersetzung gut geprüft ist. Kommen auch Bibeln als bosnisch - und albanische Bibeln hinzu ? Danke

Außer der bosnischen Bibel ist alles, was benötigt wird, bereits hier in der SOB (Studien Online Bible) enthalten. Diese Übersetzungen sind im Abschnitt "Andere europäische Übersetzungen" zu finden. Serbische Bibel (Kyrillisch), Serbische Bibel (Đuro Daničić, Vuk Karadžić - 1865), Albanian Bibel und Kroatische Bibel. Sie können die bosnische Bibel im PDF-Format HIER herunterladen.    Libor

Hallo und vielen Dank für die hilfreiche Suchfunktion bei den hebräischen Bibeln – ich benutze sie seit Jahren zur Überprüfung der masoretischen Zählungen von Wortpaaren. Ein Schreibfehler am Ende von Josua 11,16 (Elberfelder 1905) "und das ebirge Israel und seine Niederung", es müsste heißen "und das Gebirge Israel und seine Niederung". Grüße aus Zittau / Sachsen

Danke. Natürlich hast du recht - ich habe es bereits behoben.    Libor

Vielen, vielen Dank für diese Seite (und dass wir sie kostenfrei nutzen können)! Sie ist sehr gut gemacht und eröffnet beim Bibelstudium völlig neue Einblicke! Eine dringende Frage habe ich zur Adolf Ernst Knoch Bibel - die Begriffe, die kursiv und hell in den Versen dargestellt sind - bedeuteten diese, die Worte wurden von Knoch hinzugefügt, weil im Original nicht mehr erhalten? Oder wie ist das zu verstehen? Vielen Dank und Gottes Segen, Ani

Hallo, Ani. Kursiv und hell - das sind die Worte, die nicht im Originaltext sind, aber sie sind wichtig für das richtige Verständnis. Sie können es im VERGLEICHS-MODUS gut sehen. Schauen Sie sich zum Beispiel das Münchener Neues Testament an...     Libor

Ich habe diese Seite gefunden um einfach Bibel online zu benutzen in verschiedenen Sprachen - ich bin überzeugt das Gott sein Wort bewahrt hat in allen Sprachen. Und weiß bis zum Ende hin wird sein Wort leuchten. "Denn mein Wort wird nicht leer zu mir zurückkehren..." - Gottes Segen für die segensreiche Arbeit die ihr tut. Leider kann ich kein Tscheschisch aber habe auch Bekannte in der Slowakei und bin Euch sehr verbunden im Sinne des Protestantismus. Ich benutze die Bibel jeden Tag. Andreas Boldt

Ich danke Ihnen, Andreas. Diese Anwendung ist viel mehr als nur eine Online-Bibel. Versuchen Sie bitte herauszufinden, welche Optionen und Funktionen SOB anbietet... (Anleitung) Libor

Nech Vám pán odplatí Jeho spôsobom, toto je nejlepšia verzia práce s Božím slovom. Vyhladávanie, režim porovnávania sú skvelé. Pracujem s touto stránkou už celé roky a cítim povinnosť povzbudiť autorov, že je toto určite požehnaná práca. Veľa to používam aj na mobile, ako rýchlu online bibliu. Oceňujem odvahu vydania prekladu Jozefa Roháčka v edícii Dušana Seberíniho s doslovným prekladom Božieho mena. Výborná je možnosť porovnania s gréckymi originál textami so strongovými číslami. Buďte požehnaní bratia. Juraj

Vďaka Juraj. Je príjemné počuť, že tento biblický program používate už dlhší čas, a že ste s ním spokojný. Snažím sa SOB stále vylepšovať. Nie sú žiadni autori - je iba jeden amatér, ktorý chce (okrem bežných funkcií biblických programov) najmä sprístupniť originálny text biblie pre všetkých - aj bez znalosti biblických jazykov. Libor

Γέν. 2:15:Then Jehovah God took the man that He had formed and put him in the Paradise of Delights, so He could cultivate and care for it.
Γέν. 2:16:And Jehovah God gave these instructions to Adam: ‘You are free to eat from all the trees of Paradise,
Γέν. 2:18:And Jehovah God said: ‘It isn’t good for the man to be alone. Let’s make a helper for him.’
Γέν. 3:2:And the snake was the wiliest animal that Jehovah had made on the earth. Then the snake asked the woman, ‘Why did God tell you that you shouldn’t eat from all the trees of Paradise?’
Γέν. 3:8:Then they heard the voice of Jehovah God, as He walked around in Paradise that afternoon; so Adam and his wife hid from the face of Jehovah God, among the trees of Paradise.
Γέν. 3:9:And Jehovah God called to Adam, saying, ‘Where are you Adam?’
Γέν. 3:13:Then Jehovah God asked the woman: ‘Why did you do this?’ And the woman replied: ‘The snake deceived me, so I ate it.’
Γέν. 3:14:Then Jehovah God said to the snake: ‘Because you did this, you [alone] are doomed to punishment among all the cattle and wild animals of the earth. You will travel on your chest and belly, and you will eat from the ground all the days of your life.
Γέν. 3:21:Then Jehovah God made leather clothing for Adam and his wife, and dressed them.
Γέν. 3:23:Then Jehovah God put Adam outside the Paradise of Delights to work the ground that he was taken from.
Γέν. 4:3:After many days, Cain brought some of the fruit of the ground as a sacrifice to Jehovah,
Γέν. 4:6:Then Jehovah God asked Cain: ‘Why are you so sad and why is your face so long?
Γέν. 4:9:And when Jehovah God asked Cain, ‘Where is your brother?’ he replied, ‘I don’t know… am I my brother’s bodyguard?’
Γέν. 4:10:Then Jehovah asked, ‘What have you done? I hear the blood of your brother calling to me from the ground!
Γέν. 4:13:Then Cain told Jehovah God, ‘My crime is too great for me to [ever] be forgiven.
Γέν. 4:14:And Cain said to Jehovah God, ‘If you [drive me away] into the land today – away from Your face today where I will be hidden from You and where I must groan and tremble on the land – then anyone who finds me will kill me!’
Γέν. 4:15:And Jehovah God replied, ‘That isn’t so, for whoever kills Cain will pay seven penalties.’ Then Jehovah God put a mark on Cain, so that nobody who found him would kill him.
Γέν. 5:29:who he named Noah. And he said: ‘He will stop us from doing the things we do, from working with our hands, and from [living on] the ground (which Jehovah has cursed).
Γέν. 6:3:Then Jehovah God said: ‘I won’t allow My Breath to stay with these men through the the age, for they are fleshly. So their [lives] will only last one hundred and twenty [more] years.’
Γέν. 6:5:Now, Jehovah God saw that all the badness men were doing on the earth was increasing, and that the entire motivation of their hearts was always twisted toward evil.
Γέν. 6:8:However, Noah found mercy in the eyes of God Jehovah.
Γέν. 6:12:So when Jehovah God looked at the earth, all He saw was corruption, because all flesh had become dirty in the things they were doing.
Γέν. 6:13:Then Jehovah God told Noah: ‘A season is now before me [that will lead to the end of] all men, because the earth is filled with their unrighteousness. Look! I’m going to destroy both them and the ground!
Γέν. 6:22:And Noah did everything that Jehovah God told him to do.
Γέν. 7:1:Then Jehovah God said to Noah: ‘Now, you and your family must go into the chest, because I have found [just] you to be righteous among this generation.
Γέν. 7:5:So Noah did everything that Jehovah God commanded him.
Γέν. 7:16:Males and females of all flesh went inside, just as God commanded Noah; then Jehovah God closed the chest from the outside.
Γέν. 8:15:Then Jehovah God spoke to Noah and said,
Γέν. 8:20:Then Noah built an altar to Jehovah, and he took some of the clean animals as well as some from among all the clean winged creatures, and offered them whole… burning them on the altar.
Γέν. 8:21:And as Jehovah noticed the sweet smell, He thought about it and said, ‘I will never curse the ground again for the bad things that men do. Because, the imagination of men is totally bent toward doing bad things from the time they are young. So, I will never again [destroy] all living flesh as I have just done.
Γέν. 9:12:Then Jehovah God told Noah: ‘This is the sign that I have set [as a reminder] of the Agreement of the Ages of Generations, between you and Me, and every living creature that is with you:
Γέν. 9:26:Then he added, ‘May Jehovah, the God of Ham and JaPheth, be praised. But CanaAn will be a servant in their homes.
Γέν. 10:9:He was a gigantic hunter before Jehovah God, and that’s why people speak of Nimrod as ‘the gigantic hunter before Jehovah.’
Γέν. 11:6:And Jehovah said, ‘Look; they are all the same race and they share the same lips, and now they’ve started doing this. [Before long], they will be able to accomplish anything they set out to do.
Γέν. 11:8:And Jehovah scattered them from there over the entire face of the earth, so they stopped building the city and its tower.
Γέν. 11:9:That is why [the city] is named Confusion (Babylon), because, that’s where Jehovah confused all the languages of the earth and scattered them from there over all the face of the earth.
Γέν. 12:1:Then Jehovah said to Abram, ‘Leave this land, your family, and your father’s home, and go to a land that I’m going to show you,
Γέν. 12:4:So, Abram did just as Jehovah told him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran,
Γέν. 12:7:Then Jehovah appeared to Abram and said, ‘I will give this land to your seed.’ So Abram built an altar there to Jehovah, who had appeared to him.
Γέν. 12:8:Then he moved on from there to a mountain that was east of BethEl, and he pitched his tent there in BethEl, which was close to the sea and east of AgGai. There he built an altar to Jehovah and started calling on the Name of the Lord.
Γέν. 13:10:So, Lot surveyed all the country around the Jordan and noticed that it had plenty of water (this was before God overthrew Sodom and GomorRah). It looked like the Paradise of Jehovah and like the land of Egypt up to Zogora.
Γέν. 13:18:Then Abram packed up his tent and took up living by the big tree of MamRe (in Hebron), and he built an altar there to Jehovah.
Γέν. 14:22:And Abram said to the king of Sodom, ‘I swear by Jehovah the Most High God who made the heavens and the earth,
Γέν. 15:1:After that, Jehovah sent word to Abram in a vision, saying: ‘Don’t be afraid, Abram, for I am your shield, and You will have a huge reward.’
Γέν. 15:2:Then, Abram said, ‘Almighty Jehovah; What can You give me, since I’m about to die without a son? EliEzer of Damascus, the son of my home-born female slave Masek, is my heir.’
Γέν. 15:4:And immediately Jehovah said to him: ‘He won’t be your heir… the one who comes from you will be your heir.’
Γέν. 15:18:This was the day when Jehovah made a Sacred Agreement with Abram. He said, ‘I will give this land – from the [Nile] River of Egypt to the great Euphrates River – to your seed,
Γέν. 16:2:And Sara said to Abram: ‘Look; Jehovah has kept me from getting pregnant, so [sleep with] my maid so I can have my children through her.’ Well, Abram accepted Sara’s advice.
Γέν. 16:5:So Sara said to Abram: ‘I’ve really been hurt by you, for I gave you my handmaid [to sleep with], and when I saw that she was pregnant, she treated me disrespectfully. May Jehovah judge between me and you!’
Γέν. 16:7:Then a messenger from Jehovah found [Hagar] by a spring of water in the desert (the spring on the way to Sur).
Γέν. 16:8:And Jehovah’s messenger said to her, ‘Hagar, Sarah’s maid; Where are you coming from and where are you going?’ And she replied, ‘I’m running away from my mistress, Sara.’
Γέν. 16:9:Then Jehovah’s messenger said: ‘Return to your mistress and obey her.’
Γέν. 16:10:And the messenger of Jehovah told her: ‘I will make your seed grow, and there will be so many that they can’t be counted.’
Γέν. 16:11:And the messenger of Jehovah said to her: ‘Look; You are pregnant with a child. You will give birth to a son, and you should name him IshMaEl, because Jehovah has noticed how you have been humiliated.
Γέν. 17:1:Then, when Abram was ninety-nine years old, Jehovah appeared to him [again] and said: ‘I am your God. So be pleasing to Me and don’t do anything that you can be blamed for,
Γέν. 18:14:Is there anything that is impossible for Jehovah? I will return to you [next year] in this season and Sarah will have a son!’
Γέν. 18:19:Because, I know that he will order his sons and the house that is to come from him to keep the ways of Jehovah – to be righteous and just – so that Jehovah can bring all the things to Abraham that He promised to him.’
Γέν. 19:13:because we’re going to destroy it! A great cry has been raised against [this city] to Jehovah, and [He] has sent us to destroy it.’
Γέν. 19:14:So Lot went [back] outside and spoke to his [future] sons-in-law who [were engaged to] his daughters, and said: ‘Get up and leave this place, because Jehovah is about to destroy the city!’ However, to his [future] sons-in-law it seemed as though he was joking.
Γέν. 19:16:However, they were unsure. So the messengers grabbed his hand, the hand of his wife, and the hands of his two daughters… and that’s how Jehovah saved them.
Γέν. 19:24:Then Jehovah poured fire and sulfur from the sky upon Sodom and GomorRah.
Γέν. 19:27:That morning, Abraham got up early to go to the place where he had stood before Jehovah.
Γέν. 20:18:(because Jehovah had closed all the wombs in AbiMelech’s house due to Abraham’s wife Sarah).
Γέν. 21:1:Then Jehovah visited Sarah and did as [He had promised] her.
Γέν. 21:2:She became pregnant and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the exact time that Jehovah specified.
Γέν. 21:6:And Sarah said, ‘Jehovah has created laughter for me, because, everyone who hears [about this] will rejoice with me.’
Γέν. 21:33:Then Abraham planted a field at The Well of the Oath, and started calling on the Name of the God of the ages, Jehovah.
Γέν. 22:11:that a messenger of Jehovah called to him from the sky, and said, ‘Abraham… Abraham!’ And he said, ‘Look, it’s me!’
Γέν. 22:14:Abraham thereafter named that place, ‘Jehovah Was Seen.’ [He did that] so people today would say, ‘This is the mountain where Jehovah was seen.’
Γέν. 22:15:Then a messenger of Jehovah called Abraham a second time from the sky, and he said,
Γέν. 22:16:‘This is what Jehovah said: I have sworn [an oath] by Myself, that; because you’ve done this thing – because you haven’t spared your loved son for Me –
Γέν. 24:1:By then Abraham was very old, and Jehovah had blest Abraham in everything.
Γέν. 24:3:because I want you to swear by Jehovah the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you won’t take a wife for my son Isaac from the daughters of the CanaAnites, these [people] among whom I am living.
Γέν. 24:7:Jehovah – the God of heaven and the God of earth, who took me out of my father’s house and out of the land where I was born, who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying, I will give this land to you and to your seed, will send His messenger ahead of you, and you must take a wife for my son from there.
Γέν. 24:12:And he [prayed], ‘O Jehovah, the God of my master Abraham; Bless what I’m doing today, and be merciful with my master Abraham.
Γέν. 24:21:And the man really paid attention to her, but he didn’t say anything, because he wanted to know whether Jehovah was blessing this or not.
Γέν. 24:26:Then the man (who was very happy) bowed low to Jehovah
Γέν. 24:27:and said, ‘May Jehovah the God of my master Abraham be praised, [because He] hasn’t allowed His righteousness or His truth to fail my master. Jehovah has led me right to the house of my lord’s brother!’
Γέν. 24:31:and said to him, ‘Come on in, you who are blest by Jehovah; Why are you standing outside? I’ve prepared the house and I also made a place for your camels!’
Γέν. 24:35:and Jehovah has greatly blest my master. He is highly respected and has been given sheep, cattle, silver, gold, male and female servants, camels, and burros.
Γέν. 24:40:‘And he replied, Jehovah God, who has found me to be acceptable in His presence, will send His messenger along with you, and your journey will be blest. You should take a wife for my son from my tribe and from the house of my father.
Γέν. 24:42:‘So, today I came to this well, and I [prayed]: Jehovah, the God of my master Abraham; If you would bless this journey that I’m now on,
Γέν. 24:44:and she replies, Take a drink, and I will also [pour water] for your camels to drink until they are satisfied; this is the wife that Jehovah has prepared for His servant Isaac. And that’s how I will know that You have been merciful to my master Abraham.
Γέν. 24:48:‘All of this made me so happy that I bowed low and praised Jehovah, the God of my master Abraham, who has truly blest me in such a way that I might take the daughter of my master’s own brother for his son.
Γέν. 24:50:And at this, Laban and BathuEl answered, saying, ‘This thing has come from Jehovah, so we won’t be able to answer you either in a bad or a good way.
Γέν. 24:51:Look! There’s Rebecca standing before you. Take her and go. Let her be the wife of your master’s son, just as Jehovah has said.’
Γέν. 24:52:And when Abraham’s servant heard these words, he bowed to the ground to Jehovah.
Γέν. 24:56:But he replied to them, ‘Don’t hold me back, because Jehovah has blest my journey. Send me away, so I can return to my master!’
Γέν. 25:21:Then Isaac prayed to Jehovah about his wife Rebecca, because she was sterile, and Jehovah heard him; so then his wife (Rebecca) got pregnant.
Γέν. 25:22:And [then one day], the babies that were inside her jumped. And she asked, ‘If this happened to me, then why did it happen?’ So, she went to ask Jehovah,
Γέν. 25:23:and Jehovah told her: ‘There are two nations in your womb, and two races will be separated from your belly. One race will become greater than the other, and the older one will serve the younger.’
Γέν. 26:12:Then Isaac planted grain in the land, and that year the barley produced a hundred times [more than what he had planted]. So, Jehovah had blest him.
Γέν. 26:22:And he left that place and dug another well, which no one else claimed to be theirs; so he named it Space, saying, ‘Because Jehovah has made space for us, and He has made us prosper on the earth.’
Γέν. 26:24:And Jehovah appeared to him [there] that night and said, ‘I am the God of your father Abraham. Don’t be afraid, for I am with you! And because of your father Abraham, I will bless you, and your seed will increase.’
Γέν. 26:25:So he built an altar there, and named it Jehovah. Then he pitched his tent, and Isaac’s servants dug a well there in the valley of GeraRa.
Γέν. 26:28:And they replied, ‘We have surely seen that Jehovah is with you. So we said, May there be an oath between us and you… and we [wish to] make a treaty with you;
Γέν. 26:29:that you won’t do any wrong to us, and we won’t hate you. And because we have treated you well by sending you away peacefully, you are now blest by Jehovah.’
Γέν. 27:7:Bring me venison and prepare the meat so I can eat it and bless you in front of Jehovah before I die.
Γέν. 27:20:But Isaac asked his son, ‘What did you find so quickly?’ And he replied, ‘It’s what Jehovah your God set before me.’
Γέν. 27:27:So [Jacob] went over and kissed him; and [Isaac] then sniffed the odor of his clothes, and blest him, saying, ‘{Look!} This is the odor of my son. It has the smell of a wonderful field that has been blest by Jehovah.
Γέν. 28:13:Then Jehovah stood on it and said, ‘I am the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. Don’t be afraid, for I will give the ground that you’re lying on to you and to your seed.
Γέν. 28:16:And when Jacob awoke from his sleep, he said, ‘Jehovah is here and I didn’t realize it.’
Γέν. 28:20:Then Jacob made a vow, saying, ‘If Jehovah God will be with me and guard me throughout this journey, and give me bread to eat and clothes to wear,
Γέν. 28:21:and bring me back safely to the house of my father, then Jehovah will be my God.
Γέν. 29:31:And when Jehovah God saw that Leah wasn’t attractive [to Jacob], he opened her womb. However, Rachel was sterile.
Γέν. 29:32:So Leah got pregnant and bore a son to Jacob, who she named Reuben. She said, ‘[This is] because Jehovah has seen my humiliation and given me a son. Now my husband will love me.’
Γέν. 29:33:Then she got pregnant again and bore a second son to Jacob. [This time] she said, ‘Because Jehovah has heard that I’m hated, He has also given me this one.’ So she named him Simeon.
Γέν. 29:35:Thereafter she got pregnant again and bore a son. And she said, ‘I give thanks to Jehovah once more.’ So she named him Judah. And after that, she didn’t have any more children.
Γέν. 30:23:So she got pregnant and bore Jacob a son. And Rachel said, ‘Jehovah has removed my disgrace.’
Γέν. 30:27:And Laban replied: ‘If I’ve found favor in your eyes, it’s a good sign for me, because Jehovah has blest me by your coming here.
Γέν. 30:30:You didn’t have many before I got here, and now there are many! So Jehovah God has blest you since I came. Now, when can I set up my own house?’
Γέν. 31:3:Then Jehovah said to Jacob: ‘Return to your family and to your father’s land, and I will be with you.’
Γέν. 38:7:But, Er was wicked before Jehovah, so God killed him.
Γέν. 39:2:However, Jehovah was with Joseph and He blest him. So [Joseph] lived in the house of his Egyptian master,
Γέν. 39:3:who recognized that Jehovah was with him and that Jehovah blest everything he did.
Γέν. 39:5:And because he put Joseph in charge of his house and over everything that he owned, Jehovah blest the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake. Jehovah blest everything that he had in his house and in his field,
Γέν. 39:21:Well, Jehovah was with Joseph and He was very merciful to him. So He helped him find favor in the eyes of the prison’s warden.
Γέν. 39:23:so the warden was unaware of what was going on there, because everything was in Joseph’s hands. And Jehovah continued to bless everything he was doing.
Γέν. 49:18:while he awaits the salvation of Jehovah.
Έξ. 3:2:And there, Jehovah’s messenger appeared to him in a flame that was burning in a bush. He saw the flames in the bush, but [the bush] wasn’t really burning.
Έξ. 3:4:And when the Lord saw him coming closer to look, Jehovah called him from the bush. He said, ‘Moses! Moses!’ And [Moses] asked, ‘What is it?’
Έξ. 3:7:Then Jehovah told Moses: ‘I’ve seen the hardships that My people are enduring in Egypt, and I’ve heard their cries about their task-masters, so I know what they’re going through.
Έξ. 3:15:Then God said to Moses, ‘Say to the Sons of Israel: Jehovah the God of our ancestors – the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob – has sent me to you. That’s My Name through the ages and it’s how I should be remembered from generation to generation.
Έξ. 3:16:‘So, go and gather the elders of the children of Israel, then tell them that Jehovah, the God of your ancestors, has appeared to you. He’s the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. [And tell them that] He said, I have looked [down] and [seen] all the bad things that are happening to you in Egypt.
Έξ. 4:2:And Jehovah asked him: ‘What do you have in your hand?’ He replied: ‘My walking stick.’
Έξ. 4:4:And Jehovah told Moses: ‘Now, reach out and grab it by the tail.’ So [Moses] reached out and grabbed it by the tail,
Έξ. 4:6:Then Jehovah told him: ‘Now, put your hand inside [your robe and touch] your chest.’ So he reached inside and touched his chest; and when he brought his hand out it was [as white] as snow.
Έξ. 4:10:Then Moses said to Jehovah: ‘I beg you Lord; I’ve never been good at this in the past, and I’m still no good at it since You started talking to your servant… I’m a poor speaker and I talk slowly!’
Έξ. 4:11:And Jehovah asked Moses: ‘Who gave man his mouth, and who made both those who can hear and the deaf, and those who can see and the blind? Isn’t it I… God?
Έξ. 4:14:Well, this made Jehovah very angry with Moses, so He said: ‘Look; isn’t Aaron the Levite your brother? I know that he will speak for you. Look! He’s coming to meet you, and when he sees you, he will jump for joy.
Έξ. 4:19:And Jehovah said to Moses (while he was still) in Midian: ‘Go! Leave for Egypt, because those who wanted to kill you are now dead.’
Έξ. 4:21:And Jehovah said to Moses: ‘When you return to Egypt, look at all the miracles that I’ve given you [the power to perform]. You must do these before Pharaoh. However, I will make him hard hearted and he will refuse to send the people away.
Έξ. 4:22:Then you must tell Pharaoh, This is what Jehovah has said: Israel is My firstborn;
Έξ. 4:24:Well, [during their journey], a messenger of Jehovah met them along the way at an inn and wanted to kill [his son].
Έξ. 4:27:Then Jehovah told Aaron: ‘Go into the desert to meet Moses.’ So he went and met him at the Mountain of God, and they kissed each other.
Έξ. 4:28:Then Moses told Aaron everything that Jehovah had said, why he was being sent, and of all the things that he was told to do.
Έξ. 5:1:After that, Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said to him, ‘This is what Jehovah, the God of Israel, said: Send My people away, so they can hold a feast to Me in the desert.’
Έξ. 5:2:And Pharaoh asked, ‘Just who is this Jehovah so that I should have to pay any attention to what He has to say, and that I should send the children of Israel away? I don’t know Jehovah, and I’m not letting Israel go!’
Έξ. 5:3:Then [Moses and Aaron] said, ‘The God of the Hebrews has called us to Him. So we’re going on a three-day journey into the desert to [offer] sacrifices to our God Jehovah, for we’re afraid that [something might happen to us] and we might die or be murdered.’
Έξ. 5:22:Then Moses turned to Jehovah, and said, ‘I beg You, O Lord; Why have You caused trouble for these people, and why did You send me?
Έξ. 6:1:And Jehovah replied to Moses: ‘Now you’re going to see what I will do to Pharaoh, for he will indeed send them away… with a strong hand and a hard pitch he’ll THROW them out of his land!’
Έξ. 6:2:And God said to Moses: ‘I am Jehovah
Έξ. 6:3:I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and I was their God. However, I didn’t show them My Name Jehovah
Έξ. 6:6:So, go and tell the children of Israel that I am Jehovah, and I will lead them out of the tyranny of the Egyptians and free them from slavery. I will pay their ransom with a hard pitch and a great judgment!
Έξ. 6:7:I will take them to be My people, and I will be their God. And then they will know that I am Jehovah their God who freed them from the tyranny of the Egyptians.
Έξ. 6:8:And I will bring them into the land that I reached out to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob… I will give it to them as their inheritance, for I am Jehovah.’
Έξ. 6:10:So Jehovah told Moses,
Έξ. 6:12:And Moses replied to Jehovah, saying, ‘Look, the children of Israel didn’t listen to me, so how will I get Pharaoh to listen to me? Besides, I’m not a good speaker.’
Έξ. 6:13:So Jehovah spoke to [both] Moses and Aaron, and told them to order Pharaoh (the king of Egypt) to send the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
Έξ. 6:28:in the day that Jehovah spoke to Moses.
Έξ. 6:29:Jehovah told Moses: ‘I am Jehovah! Speak to Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and tell him whatever I say to you.’
Έξ. 6:30:And Moses replied to Jehovah: ‘Look, I’m not a good speaker, so how will Pharaoh listen to me?’
Έξ. 7:1:Then Jehovah told Moses: ‘Look! I’ve made you a god to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron is your Prophet.
Έξ. 7:5:Then all the Egyptians will know that I am Jehovah, and that I reached out My hand toward Egypt and brought the children of Israel out of their midst.’
Έξ. 7:8:Then Jehovah said to Moses and Aaron,
Έξ. 7:13:Well, Pharaoh’s heart became hard and he refused to listen to what Jehovah had instructed them to say.
Έξ. 7:14:Then Jehovah told Moses: ‘Now Pharaoh’s heart has become hard and he won’t let the people go.
Έξ. 7:16:and tell [Pharaoh] that Jehovah the God of the Hebrews has sent you to him, and that He says: Send My people away so they can serve Me in the desert! Look, you haven’t listened to Me so far,
Έξ. 7:17:but this is how I’m going to let you know that I am Jehovah!’ ‘[Then tell him]: Look; I’m going to slap the water with this walking stick in my hand, and the river water will change into blood.
Έξ. 7:19:And Jehovah continued, ‘Then tell your brother Aaron to take his walking stick and hold his arms out over all the water in Egypt (over their rivers, canals, ponds, and any standing water) and they will turn into blood. This blood will be throughout the entire land of Egypt… even in their pottery and wooden jars!’
Έξ. 7:22:However, the Egyptian soothsayers used their magic to do the same thing, so the heart of Pharaoh became hard and he wouldn’t listen to them… which is just what Jehovah said [would happen].
Έξ. 7:25:And Jehovah’s conquest of the river lasted for seven days.
Έξ. 8:1:Then the Lord told Moses: ‘Now go to Pharaoh [again] and tell him that this is what Jehovah has said: Send My people away so they can serve Me.
Έξ. 8:5:And Jehovah said to Moses, ‘Tell your brother Aaron to hold his arms out with his walking stick in his hand over the rivers, canals, and pools, to bring up the frogs.’
Έξ. 8:8:Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, ‘Pray to Jehovah for me and ask Him take the frogs away from my people and me. Then I will send [the children of Israel] away to offer sacrifices to Jehovah.’
Έξ. 8:10:And [Pharaoh] replied: ‘Tomorrow morning.’ Then [Moses] said, ‘It will be just as you’ve said… and then you will know that there is no [God] other than Jehovah.
Έξ. 8:12:And at that, Moses and Aaron left Pharaoh. Then Moses called to Jehovah and asked Him to remove the frogs, as Pharaoh had asked.
Έξ. 8:13:And Jehovah did what Moses asked, and the frogs died in the houses, villages, and fields.
Έξ. 8:15:Well, when Pharaoh saw that there was some relief, his heart became hard again, and he didn’t listen to the things they told him that Jehovah had said.
Έξ. 8:16:So Jehovah told Moses: ‘Now tell Aaron to take his walking stick in his hand and to hit the dirt on the ground, then fleas will cover the men and animals throughout the entire land of Egypt.’
Έξ. 8:19:so the soothsayers said to Pharaoh: ‘This is the finger of God!’ But Pharaoh’s heart was hardened and he wouldn’t listen to them and do as Jehovah said.
Έξ. 8:20:So Jehovah said to Moses, ‘Get up early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh as he’s going to go down to the water. Then you must tell him that this is what Jehovah has said: Send My people away, so they can serve Me in the desert.
Έξ. 8:22:[But this time], I will create a marvelous difference in the land of Gesem, where My people are living… there’ll be no stable flies there. Then you will know that I am Jehovah, the God of all the earth,
Έξ. 8:25:So Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron [again] and said, ‘Now, go and offer a sacrifice to Jehovah your God in this land.’
Έξ. 8:26:But Moses said: ‘We can’t do that, because the things we will sacrifice to Jehovah our God are considered disgusting to the Egyptians. So if we sacrifice such things in front of the Egyptians, they will stone us.
Έξ. 8:27:Rather, let us travel three-days into the desert, and we will offer our sacrifices to Jehovah our God there, as our Lord has told us.’
Έξ. 8:28:Then Pharaoh said, ‘Go and sacrifice to your God in the desert; but don’t go too far; and pray to Jehovah for me!’
Έξ. 8:29:And Moses said, ‘Now I will leave you and pray to God, so that the stable flies will leave your servants and your citizens tomorrow. But Pharaoh; Don’t deceive me again and refuse to send the people away to sacrifice to Jehovah.’
Έξ. 8:31:And Jehovah did just as Moses said… He removed all the stable flies from Pharaoh, his servants, and his citizens.
Έξ. 9:1:So Jehovah told Moses, ‘Go to Pharaoh and say to him that this is what Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews says: Send My people away so they can serve Me.
Έξ. 9:8:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, ‘Moses should take handfuls of furnace ashes and throw them into the sky before Pharaoh and his servants,
Έξ. 9:12:But Jehovah just made Pharaoh’s heart harder, so he wouldn’t listen to them and do what Jehovah told him to do.
Έξ. 9:13:And Jehovah said to Moses, ‘Get up early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh, then tell him that this is what Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews, has said: Send My people away so they can serve Me.
Έξ. 9:20:So those servants of Pharaoh who were afraid of what Jehovah said, brought their cattle into their homes.
Έξ. 9:21:And those who didn’t pay any attention to what Jehovah said, left their cattle in the fields.
Έξ. 9:22:Then Jehovah told Moses: ‘Raise your hands to the sky, and there will be a hailstorm throughout the entire land of Egypt… on the men, the cattle, and on all the plants that are growing on the ground.’
Έξ. 9:23:So Moses raised his hands to the sky, and Jehovah sent hail, thunder, and lightning that rolled around on the ground. And this hail from Jehovah rained throughout the entire land of Egypt.
Έξ. 9:27:So Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron, and said: ‘I’ve sinned this time. Jehovah is righteous, and my people and I are wicked.
Έξ. 9:28:Pray to Jehovah for me and have Him stop the thunder, lightning, and the hail, then I will send you away and you won’t have to [live here] anymore.’
Έξ. 9:29:And Moses said to him: ‘After I leave the city, I will raise my hands to Jehovah, and the thunder, lightning, hail, and rain will stop… and then you will know that the earth belongs to Jehovah.
Έξ. 9:30:However, I know that you and your servants don’t fear Jehovah yet.’
Έξ. 9:33:So then, Moses left Pharaoh and [walked] out of the city. And when he raised his hands to Jehovah, the thundering stopped, and the rain and hail stopped falling.
Έξ. 9:35:And it was because of this hard heart that Pharaoh refused to send the children of Israel away, as Jehovah had instructed Moses.
Έξ. 10:1:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said, ‘Go to Pharaoh [again], because I’ve hardened the hearts of him and his servants, so I could bring these signs upon them.
Έξ. 10:2:[I did this] so you could tell your children and your children’s children of the many ways that I’ve mocked the Egyptians, and of the wonders that I’ve brought upon them, so they will know that I am Jehovah.’
Έξ. 10:3:Then Moses and Aaron went before Pharaoh and said to him, ‘This is what Jehovah the God of the Hebrews says: How much longer will you refuse to respect Me? Send My people away, so they can serve Me.
Έξ. 10:8:So they went and brought Moses and Aaron back to Pharaoh, and he said to them: ‘You may go and serve Jehovah your God… but, just who will be going with you?’
Έξ. 10:9:And Moses replied, ‘We will be taking the young and the old, along with our sons, daughters, sheep, and bulls, because this is a feast of Jehovah.’
Έξ. 10:10:Then [Pharaoh] said to them, ‘May Jehovah be with you. But if I send you away, must I also [send away] all that you own? You have an evil [plan],
Έξ. 10:12:Then Jehovah told Moses: ‘Now raise your hands over the land of Egypt and let the locusts come to the land. They will eat every plant on the ground and all the fruit that wasn’t damaged by the hail on the trees!’
Έξ. 10:13:So Moses lifted his walking stick to the sky, and Jehovah sent a south wind [that blew] all day and all night long. Then the next morning, the south wind brought the locusts
Έξ. 10:16:Then Pharaoh hastily called Moses and Aaron, and said: ‘I have sinned before Jehovah your God and against you.
Έξ. 10:17:[Please] pardon my sin one more time and pray to Jehovah your God, for Him take away this death!’
Έξ. 10:19:then Jehovah sent a strong wind from the sea that blew in the opposite direction, which picked up the locusts and threw them into the Red Sea, so there wasn’t a single locust left anywhere in the land of Egypt.
Έξ. 10:20:But Jehovah continued to harden Pharaoh’s heart, so he didn’t send the children of Israel away.
Έξ. 10:21:Then Jehovah told Moses, ‘Lift your hands toward the sky and bring darkness to the land of Egypt… a darkness that can be felt.’
Έξ. 10:24:Then Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and said: ‘Go serve your God Jehovah, but leave your sheep, your bulls, and your belongings.’
Έξ. 10:25:However, Moses said: ‘No; You must allow us the burnt offerings and sacrifices that we’re going to offer to Jehovah our God…
Έξ. 10:26:so our cattle will be going with us! We won’t leave a hoof behind, because we’re going to take them to serve Jehovah our God, and we won’t know how we’re going to serve Him until we get there.’
Έξ. 10:27:But Jehovah kept hardening Pharaoh’s heart, and he wouldn’t let them go.
Έξ. 11:1:Then Jehovah told Moses: ‘I’m going to bring one more plague on Pharaoh and on Egypt, and then he will send you away with everything… in fact, he’ll drive you out!
Έξ. 11:3:So Jehovah caused his people to be looked on favorably by the Egyptians, and they were willing to lend things to them, because the Egyptians considered Moses a great man… even greater than Pharaoh and his servants.
Έξ. 11:4:Then Moses told [the children of Israel], ‘This is what Jehovah said: About midnight I will be going throughout Egypt,
Έξ. 11:7:However, among the children of Israel, not even a dog will snarl at a man or an animal. That’s when you will see how great the difference is, that Jehovah will make between the Egyptians and Israel.
Έξ. 11:9:Now, Moses had left Pharaoh [feeling very] angry. And as Jehovah told Moses, ‘Pharaoh isn’t going to listen to you, so I can show great signs and wonders in the land of Egypt.’
Έξ. 11:10:And Moses and Aaron brought about all these signs and wonders in the land of Egypt and before Pharaoh. But Jehovah kept hardening Pharaoh’s heart, and he wouldn’t listen and send the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
Έξ. 12:1:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and Aaron there in the land of Egypt, and said,
Έξ. 12:11:‘And this is how you must eat it: With your thighs covered for work, your sandals on your feet, and your walking sticks in your hands. Then you must eat it quickly, for it is Jehovah’s Passover.
Έξ. 12:12:Because, I will go throughout the land of Egypt that night and strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt (both men and animals), and I will bring My vengeance upon all the gods of Egypt, for I am Jehovah.
Έξ. 12:14:‘You must always remember this day and keep it as a feast to Jehovah through all your generations. [Observance of] this feast will be the law through the ages.
Έξ. 12:23:for Jehovah will pass over you [as He] strikes the Egyptians… He will see the blood on the doorframes and Jehovah will pass over that door. He won’t allow the destroyer to enter your homes to strike you.
Έξ. 12:25:And if you should enter the land that Jehovah promises to give you, you must keep on doing this.
Έξ. 12:27:You should tell them, The Passover is a sacrifice to Jehovah, for when He protected the homes of the children of Israel in Egypt and He struck the Egyptians, but [passed over] our homes.’
Έξ. 12:28:Well, the people bowed to their faces, then the children of Israel went and did exactly as Jehovah had instructed Moses and Aaron.
Έξ. 12:29:It was midnight when Jehovah struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt… from the firstborn of Pharaoh who was sitting on the throne, to the firstborn of the female slave who was sitting in a dungeon, to the firstborn of all the cattle.
Έξ. 12:31:As the result, Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron that night and told them: ‘Get up and leave us, both you and the children of Israel! Go and serve your God Jehovah as you’ve asked,
Έξ. 12:36:And Jehovah caused the Egyptians to view them favorably, so they [gave these things] to them… they plundered the Egyptians.
Έξ. 12:41:the whole army of Jehovah left the land of Egypt that night.
Έξ. 12:42:It was [the night] when they kept watching for Jehovah to bring them out of the land of Egypt, so all the children of Israel throughout all their generations must keep this same night as a night of watch to Jehovah.
Έξ. 12:43:Then Jehovah told Moses and Aaron: ‘This is the Law regarding the Passover: No stranger may eat it,
Έξ. 12:48:And if a convert comes and wants to keep the Passover to Jehovah, you must circumcise all their males before they can come and offer the sacrifice; and then they will be treated as residents in the land. However, no one who is uncircumcised may eat it.
Έξ. 12:50:Then the children of Israel did exactly as Jehovah had instructed Moses and Aaron.
Έξ. 12:51:And so, that was the day when Jehovah brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt with all their forces.
Έξ. 13:1:Then Jehovah told Moses:
Έξ. 13:3:And Moses said to the people, ‘Remember this day! [It’s the one] when you were brought out of the land of Egypt and out of the house of slavery; for Jehovah brought you out of there with His strong hand. So, fermentation must not be eaten [now]!
Έξ. 13:5:so when Jehovah your God brings you into the land of the CanaAnites, Chettites, Amorites, Evites, Jebusites, Gergesites, and Pherezites, which He swore to your ancestors that He would give you – a land that flows with milk and honey – you must perform this same service during this month.
Έξ. 13:6:Six days you will eat fermentation-free bread, and the seventh day will be a feast day to Jehovah.
Έξ. 13:8:And you will tell your sons on this day: This is how Jehovah dealt with me as I was leaving Egypt.
Έξ. 13:9:‘So, let it remain as a sign on your hand and as something to remember before your eyes, that Jehovah’s Law may always stay on your [lips], because Jehovah God brought you out of Egypt with His strong hand.
Έξ. 13:11:‘And when Jehovah your God brings you into the land of the CanaAnites, which He swore to your ancestors that he would give you,
Έξ. 13:12:you must set aside every male that opens a womb to Jehovah. This includes those among your flocks and herds of cattle… as many as you have. [All the] males must be [set aside as] holy to Jehovah.
Έξ. 13:13:‘However, when it comes to burros, you must offer a sheep instead… you can’t exchange it, you must buy it back [from Jehovah], and you must buy back every firstborn son.
Έξ. 13:14:‘And if your son should ever ask you, Why are you doing this? You must tell him, Jehovah brought us out of Egypt and out of the house of slavery with His strong hand.
Έξ. 13:15:And when Pharaoh’s heart became hard and [he refused] to send us away, [God] slaughtered all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the men and the animals. That’s why we offer every male that opens a womb to Jehovah, and that’s why we buy back all of our firstborn sons.
Έξ. 13:16:‘So, may this be a sign on your hand and something that is always fixed in front of your eyes, because Jehovah brought you out of Egypt with His strong hand.’
Έξ. 14:1:Then Jehovah said to Moses,
Έξ. 14:4:‘Then I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will chase after you. And Pharaoh and his whole army will bring glory to Me, and all the Egyptians will know that I am Jehovah.’ And that’s what happened.
Έξ. 14:8:But it was because Jehovah had hardened the hearts of Pharaoh (the king of Egypt) and his servants that he chased after the children of Israel. And the children of Israel allowed them the upper hand.
Έξ. 14:10:And as Pharaoh approached, the children of Israel could see the Egyptians [marching] behind them, and they were terrified and started calling out to Jehovah.
Έξ. 14:13:But Moses said to the people, ‘Don’t be afraid; Stand here and watch the salvation that comes from Jehovah and the things He will do for us on this day. Why, you see all those Egyptians today, but you won’t see them again in this age,
Έξ. 14:14:because Jehovah is going to fight for you, so you will be at peace!’
Έξ. 14:15:Then Jehovah asked Moses, ‘Why are they shouting to Me? Speak to the children of Israel and tell them to go on!
Έξ. 14:18:and all the Egyptians will know that I am Jehovah when I’m glorified by Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horses.’
Έξ. 14:21:Then Moses lifted his arms over the sea, and Jehovah pushed the sea back with a strong south wind [that blew] all night long. This dried the seabed and divided the water.
Έξ. 14:24:And it was during the morning watch that Jehovah looked at the Egyptians through the columns of fire and clouds, and [He created] trouble in their camp.
Έξ. 14:25:The wheels on their chariots sank to their axels, so they were hard to pull. And the Egyptians said, ‘Let’s run from the face of Israel, because Jehovah is fighting for them against the Egyptians!’
Έξ. 14:26:Then Jehovah told Moses; ‘Now, stretch your arms out over the sea and let the water fall back in its place… let it cover the Egyptian chariots and their riders.’
Έξ. 14:27:So Moses stretched his arms out over the sea, and the water returned to its place around daybreak. The Egyptians tried to run from the water, but Jehovah just kept shaking them back into the middle of the sea.
Έξ. 14:30:So Jehovah saved Israel that day from the hands of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians lying dead by the seashore.
Έξ. 14:31:And Israel saw Jehovah’s mighty hand in the things He did to the Egyptians, and they started to fear Jehovah and trust in God and in His servant Moses.
Έξ. 15:1:Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to God: ‘Let’s sing to Jehovah, for He has been glorified. He’s thrown the horses and riders into the sea.
Έξ. 15:3:Jehovah brings an end to all war, [Yes, Jehovah] is His Name.
Έξ. 15:18:For, Jehovah reigns through the age, And on through the ages of the ages.
Έξ. 15:19:Pharaoh’s horse sank in the sea, Along with his chariots and horsemen. Then Jehovah covered them over with water, But the children of Israel walked on dry land, Through the midst of the sea.’
Έξ. 15:21:Miriam led them, saying, ‘Let’s sing to Jehovah, for He has been glorified. The horses and riders have been thrown in the sea…’
Έξ. 15:25:So Moses called to Jehovah, and Jehovah showed him a tree, which [Moses] threw into the water and the water became sweet… and this is the place where [God] gave him His Laws and decisions, and where He showed His approval.
Έξ. 15:26:For [God] said: ‘If you will listen to the voice of Jehovah your God, do things that please Him, obey His Commandments, and keep all His Laws, I won’t bring any of the [plagues] upon you that I brought on the Egyptians. For I am Jehovah; the God who makes you well.’
Έξ. 16:3:They told them, ‘We would rather have died [with those who were] struck by Jehovah in the land of Egypt, back when we could sit by the stew pots and eat all the bread we wanted! Now you’ve brought us out into this desert to starve us all to death!’
Έξ. 16:4:And Jehovah said to Moses, ‘Look! I will rain bread on you from the sky. Then the people will go out and gather their allotment for each day, so I can test them to see whether they will follow My Law or not.
Έξ. 16:6:So Moses and Aaron spoke to the entire gathering of the children of Israel, saying, ‘This evening you will know that it was Jehovah who brought you out of the land of Egypt;
Έξ. 16:7:for in the morning you will see the glory of Jehovah. Because, He has heard you complaining against Him… and what are we that you keep complaining about us?’
Έξ. 16:8:Then Moses said, ‘This evening Jehovah will give you meat to eat, and in the morning He will provide enough bread to satisfy you, because Jehovah has heard all the complaints that you have against us… and what are we? You aren’t complaining against us, but against God!’
Έξ. 16:10:Then, after Aaron spoke to them, they turned toward the desert, and the glory of Jehovah appeared in a cloud.
Έξ. 16:11:And at that, Jehovah spoke to Moses, and said,
Έξ. 16:12:‘I’ve heard the children of Israel’s complaints. So, tell them: This evening you will eat meat, and in the morning you will have enough bread to satisfy you… and then you will know that I am Jehovah your God.
Έξ. 16:16:‘This is the bread that Jehovah has given you to eat… it’s what Jehovah has approved. Each man should gather a third of a bushel for each person in his family. Go gather it along with those who are living with you.’
Έξ. 16:23:And Moses asked, ‘Didn’t Jehovah tell us that tomorrow is the Sabbath… a holy [day of] rest to Jehovah? So, bake all that you can bake, and boil all that you can boil, so that the leftovers can be stored for tomorrow!’
Έξ. 16:25:Then Moses said, ‘That’s what you must eat today, because today is a Sabbath to Jehovah… so you won’t find any in the fields.
Έξ. 16:28:So Jehovah asked Moses, ‘How long are you going to fail to listen to My commands and [obey] My laws?
Έξ. 16:32:Then Moses said, ‘This is what Jehovah commanded: We are to collect a third of a bushel of manna and set it aside, so that future generations can see the bread that you ate in the desert after Jehovah led you from the land of Egypt.’
Έξ. 16:34:And just as Jehovah told Moses, Aaron stored it away as a testimony.
Έξ. 17:1:Then the entire gathering of the children of Israel left the desert of Sin, following the order of their camps, and Jehovah told them to camp in RaphiDin. However, there was no water for the people to drink,
Έξ. 17:2:so they started shouting at Moses and saying, ‘Give us water to drink!’ And Moses asked them, ‘Why are you shouting at me, and why are you asking Jehovah to prove Himself?
Έξ. 17:4:Then Moses called to Jehovah, and said, ‘What should I do with these people? Why, before long they’ll stone me!’
Έξ. 17:5:And Jehovah replied to Moses, ‘Go before the people and bring along some of their elders. Then take the walking stick that you slapped the [Nile] river with into your hand, and go
Έξ. 17:7:And he named that place Proof and Shouting, because of all the shouting of the children of Israel, and because they wanted Jehovah to prove Himself when they asked, ‘Is Jehovah among us or not?’
Έξ. 17:14:Then Jehovah told Moses, ‘Write this in a book so it will be remembered: Tell Joshua that I’m going to totally blot out all memory of the Amalechites from under the heavens.’
Έξ. 17:15:Then Moses then built an altar to Jehovah there and named it My Refuge,
Έξ. 17:16:because Jehovah was secretly waging war against all generations of the Amalechites.
Έξ. 18:1:Well, Jethro (the priest of Midian, Moses’ father-in-law) heard of all that Jehovah had done for his people Israel by bringing them out of Egypt.
Έξ. 18:8:where Moses told his father-in-law everything that Jehovah had done to Pharaoh and the Egyptians for Israel’s sake, of all the things that had happened to them along the way, and of how Jehovah had rescued them from the hands of Pharaoh and the Egyptians.
Έξ. 18:9:Well, Jethro was amazed at all the good things that Jehovah had done for them by rescuing them.
Έξ. 18:10:And Jethro said, ‘Praise Jehovah, because He rescued them from the hands of Pharaoh and the Egyptians.
Έξ. 18:11:Now I now know that Jehovah is higher than all [other] gods, and that’s why [the children of Israel] were attacked.’
Έξ. 19:9:Then Jehovah told Moses, ‘{Look!} I’m going to come to you in a column of clouds, so the people can hear Me speaking to you. Then they will believe you through the age.’ And Moses reported what Jehovah said back to the people.
Έξ. 19:10:Then Jehovah said to Moses, ‘Go down and give solemn instructions to the people. They must be cleansed both today and tomorrow, and they must wash their clothes.
Έξ. 19:20:Jehovah came down to the top of Mount Sinai and He called Moses, [telling him to come] to the top of the mountain! So, Moses went up,
Έξ. 19:22:And make sure that any Priests who come close to Jehovah God have cleansed themselves, so He doesn’t [have to] destroy some of them!’
Έξ. 19:24:Then the Lord told him: ‘Now, go down [the mountain] and bring Aaron back with you. But don’t allow the Priests or the people to force their way up to God, for fear that Jehovah will destroy them.’
Έξ. 20:1:Then Jehovah said all of this:
Έξ. 20:2:‘I am Jehovah your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt and out of the house of slavery.
Έξ. 20:5:You must not bow before them or serve them, for I Jehovah your God am a zealous God, and I bring the sins of the ancestors upon the children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren of those who hate Me.
Έξ. 20:7:‘You must not misuse the Name of your God Jehovah, for Jehovah your God will not forgive those who misuse His Name.
Έξ. 20:10:but the seventh day is the Sabbath of your God Jehovah, and you must do no work… not you, your son, your daughter, your male servant, your female servant, your ox, your burro, any of your cattle, or any strangers that are visiting among you.
Έξ. 20:11:Because, Jehovah made the sky, the ground, the seas and everything in them, then He rested on the seventh day. So Jehovah blest the seventh day and made it holy.
Έξ. 20:12:‘Honor your father and mother, as Jehovah your God commanded you, so that things may go well for you and that you may live a long time in the land that Jehovah your God is giving you.
Έξ. 20:22:And Jehovah said to Moses, ‘This is what you must say to the house of Jacob, and what you will report to the children of Israel: You have seen Me speak to you from the sky,
Έξ. 22:20:‘Anyone who offers sacrifices to a god other than Jehovah must be put to death.
Έξ. 23:17:So, all your males must appear before Jehovah your God three times each year.
Έξ. 23:19:‘You must bring all the first fruitage of your fields to the House of your God Jehovah. ‘You must never boil a lamb in its mother’s milk.
Έξ. 23:25:‘If you serve Jehovah your God, I will bless your bread, your wine, and your water; and I will keep you from getting sick.
Έξ. 24:1:Then Jehovah told Moses: ‘I want you, Aaron, Nadab, AbiUd, and seventy of Israel’s elders to come to Me and bow before [Me] from a distance.
Έξ. 24:3:So, Moses went and told the people about everything God had said and about His Laws. And the people unanimously answered all together, ‘We will do and obey everything that Jehovah has said!’
Έξ. 24:4:Then Moses [sat down] and wrote everything that Jehovah said. And early the next morning, he built an Altar at the base of the mountain using twelve stones [to represent] the twelve tribes of Israel.
Έξ. 24:7:Thereafter, [Moses] took the scroll of the Sacred Agreement [that he wrote] and read it to the people. And they [again] said, ‘We will do and pay attention to everything that Jehovah has said.’
Έξ. 24:8:Then Moses took the blood [from the bowls] and sprinkled it on the people, and he said: ‘{Look!} This is the blood of the Sacred Agreement that Jehovah has made with you over the things that you’ve [agreed to].’
Έξ. 24:12:Then Jehovah told Moses: ‘[I want you to] come [back] up the mountain to Me and stay here, for I will give you the tablets of stone containing the Law and Commandments that I have written.’
Έξ. 24:16:And the glory of God came down on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days. Then Jehovah called Moses from the midst of the cloud on the seventh day.
Έξ. 24:17:Well, to the Children of Israel, the glory of Jehovah looked like a fire that was burning on top of the mountain.
Έξ. 25:1:And there Jehovah told Moses:
Έξ. 27:21:inside the Tent of Proofs and outside the veil that hides the Chest of the Sacred Agreement. Aaron and his sons must keep them burning all night long before Jehovah. This is the rule that must be followed throughout all generations of the children of Israel.’
Έξ. 28:12:Then mount these two stones on the shoulder pieces. They are to be memorial stones of the children of Israel, and Aaron will wear the names of the children of Israel before Jehovah on his shoulders in memory of them.
Έξ. 28:26:You are to put the Revelation and the Truth on the Expression of Judgment, and Aaron will wear it on his chest whenever he enters the Holy Place before Jehovah. So, he will always carry the judgments of the children of Israel on his chest before Jehovah.
Έξ. 28:31:‘And whenever Aaron is serving and entering or leaving the Holy Place of Jehovah, he must speak loudly so he doesn’t die.
Έξ. 28:32:‘You are also to make a plate of pure gold that is engraved with the sign, Jehovah is Holy,
Έξ. 28:34:so it will always be on Aaron’s forehead to carry away sins. Then all the children of Israel will have their gifts made holy and acceptable to Jehovah on their behalf.
Έξ. 29:10:Bring the calf to the entrance of the Tent of Proofs and have Aaron and his sons lay their hands upon the calf’s head before Jehovah.
Έξ. 29:11:And then you must slaughter the calf before Jehovah, there at the entrance to the Tent of Proofs.
Έξ. 29:18:Then you must put the whole ram on the Altar as a burnt offering and a sweet-smelling delight to Jehovah. It will be like incense to Jehovah.
Έξ. 29:23:And take one of the round cakes [that had been covered] with oil and one loaf from the basket of fermentation-free bread, and set them before Jehovah;
Έξ. 29:24:then give the rest to Aaron and his sons. But the [loaf and the round cake] must be offered separately to Jehovah;
Έξ. 29:25:take them from the hands of the Priests and put them on the Altar, then burn them as offerings of sweet-smelling delights to Jehovah.
Έξ. 29:26:‘Then you must remove the ram’s breast at the end of ceremony for Aaron, to be offered before Jehovah. And [the rest] must be shared with you.
Έξ. 29:28:This will be a requirement for the children of Israel and for Aaron and his sons through the ages. This is to be a separate and special offering to Jehovah from the children of Israel, as one of their peace offerings.
Έξ. 29:41:You must offer the same things with the second lamb [that is sacrificed] in the evening (which includes the drink offering), as a sweet-smelling delight to Jehovah.
Έξ. 29:42:This sacrifice is to be offered before Jehovah by all your generations through the ages at the entrance to the Tent of Proofs. That’s where I will be made known to you and where I will speak to you from now on.
Έξ. 29:46:Then they will know that I am Jehovah, the God who brought them out of the land of Egypt, so they can call on Me and I can be their God.’
Έξ. 30:8:And when Aaron lights the lamps in the evening, he must burn incense on it again. So, incense will be offered continuously before Jehovah throughout your generations.
Έξ. 30:10:And at the same time each year, Aaron must offer the reconciliation for their generations on its horns with the blood of purification, because it is very holy to Jehovah.’
Έξ. 30:12:‘I want you to take a census of the children of Israel, and each [person] must pay Jehovah a ransom for his life, so no one will be destroyed when they are visited.
Έξ. 30:13:This is what everyone who is surveyed must give: half a double-silver coin (or twenty copper coins), which is to be used for the Holy Place as an offering to Jehovah.
Έξ. 30:14:Everyone twenty years old and up who answers to the census must pay this offering to Jehovah.
Έξ. 30:15:The rich won’t pay any more, and the poor won’t pay any less than the half double-silver coin that they must offer to reconcile their lives with Jehovah.
Έξ. 30:16:Then you must take the money that the children of Israel donate and use it for the services at the Tent of Proofs. The children of Israel must always remember to do this, in order to reconcile their lives [with Jehovah].’
Έξ. 30:17:And Jehovah spoke to Moses, and said:
Έξ. 30:20:Whenever they enter the Tent of Proofs, they must wash themselves with the water, so they won’t die. And they must do [the same] whenever they go to the Altar for services or to burn sacrifices to Jehovah.
Έξ. 30:22:Then Jehovah told Moses:
Έξ. 30:34:And Jehovah said to Moses, ‘Also, gather these sweet smelling substances: sweet myrrh oil, snail shells, sweet galbanum, and transparent frankincense. They are to be combined in equal measures
Έξ. 30:37:so you shouldn’t make any for yourselves by this formula, because it is something holy to Jehovah.
Έξ. 31:1:Then Jehovah told Moses:
Έξ. 31:12:And Jehovah said to Moses,
Έξ. 31:13:‘Also, tell the children of Israel to pay attention and keep My Sabbaths, because they are the sign between us through the generations that they know I am Jehovah who makes them holy.
Έξ. 31:14:So they must keep the Sabbaths, because this is a holy thing to Jehovah for them, and anyone who dishonors them must be put to death… anyone who works on [that day] must have his life destroyed in the midst of his people.
Έξ. 31:15:They may work for six days, but the seventh day is the Sabbath… a holy [day of] rest to Jehovah, and anyone who works on the seventh day must be put to death.
Έξ. 31:17:This is to be an Agreement through the ages between the children of Israel and Me. It is their sign to Me through the ages. Because, Jehovah made the earth and sky in six days, then on the seventh day He stopped and rested.’
Έξ. 32:5:And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar in front of it and he proclaimed, ‘Tomorrow [we will hold] a feast to Jehovah.’
Έξ. 32:7:Well, Jehovah told Moses, ‘Hurry and descend [the mountain], because the people you brought out of the land of Egypt have sinned!
Έξ. 32:11:But Moses started begging Jehovah. He said: ‘O Jehovah, why are you so angry with the people who You brought out of the land of Egypt with Your mighty arm and with so much power?
Έξ. 32:14:And that’s how Jehovah was moved to [keep them] as His people.
Έξ. 32:26:So Moses went to the entrance of the camp and shouted, ‘Who is on Jehovah’s side? [May those who are], come here to me!’ Well, all the sons of Levi came to him,
Έξ. 32:27:and he told them, ‘This is what Jehovah the God of Israel said: Everyone must [tie on] his sword and go through the camp from gate to gate, and each of you should kill [his rebellious] brothers and neighbors, starting with those that are the closest to you.’
Έξ. 32:29:Then Moses told them, ‘You are to be praised, because you’ve all lifted your hands to Jehovah [and struck down] your own sons and brothers1’
Έξ. 32:31:Then Moses returned to Jehovah and said, ‘I’ve [come to] beg You, O Jehovah, because these people are guilty of a great sin by making a god of gold.
Έξ. 32:33:But Jehovah told Moses, ‘I’m going to erase [the names] of all those who have sinned against Me from My book.
Έξ. 32:35:Then Jehovah struck the people for having Aaron make the calf.
Έξ. 33:1:Then Jehovah told Moses, ‘Go on! You and the people that you brought out of the land of Egypt should leave and go to the land that I promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, when I said, I will give it to your seed.
Έξ. 33:5:But Jehovah told the children of Israel, ‘You’re stubborn people! Now, pay attention so I don’t send another plague and destroy you. Take off your [mourning] clothes and its trappings, and let Me show you what I will do to you.’
Έξ. 33:7:Then Moses carried the Tent outside the camp (they called it the Tent of Proofs) and [had it] assembled some distance away. And everyone who [wanted an answer from Jehovah] would go to the Tent outside the camp.
Έξ. 33:11:Meanwhile, Jehovah would speak to Moses face to face, as though they were two friends. Then [Moses] would return to the camp, but his servant Joshua (the son of Naweh), who was a young man, didn’t leave the Tent.
Έξ. 33:12:Thereafter, Moses said to Jehovah: ‘{Look!} You told me to lead these people on, but You haven’t shown me where You want me to go! Now, You’ve told me that You know me better than all the rest, and that You like me.
Έξ. 33:17:And Jehovah told Moses, ‘I will do this thing that you’ve asked, because you’ve found My favor and I’ve put you above all others.’
Έξ. 33:19:And [God] said, ‘I will pass before you with My glory, and I will call out My Name Jehovah in front of you. I will be merciful to those for whom I feel mercy, and I will have pity on those for whom I feel pity.’
Έξ. 33:21:And Jehovah said, ‘{Look!} Stand on the rock by Me,
Έξ. 34:1:And Jehovah said to Moses: ‘You need to cut two tablets of stone like the first ones, and climb the mountain to Me, then I will write the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke.
Έξ. 34:5:Then the Lord descended in a cloud and stood close to him as He called the Name Jehovah.
Έξ. 34:6:And the Lord passed before his face while He was saying, ‘Jehovah, the God of mercy, pity, patience, concern, and truth;
Έξ. 34:10:Thereafter, Jehovah said to Moses: ‘{Look!} I am establishing a Sacred Agreement with you in the presence of all your people. I will do wonderful things that have never been done before anywhere on earth or in any nation. Everyone among you will see that the deeds I will do for you are wonderful.
Έξ. 34:14:You must not worship other gods, because Jehovah (which is a zealous Name) is a zealous God.
Έξ. 34:23:Every male must appear before Jehovah the God of Israel three times each year.
Έξ. 34:24:For, after I’ve driven the nations away from before you and enlarged your borders, no one will want your land, as long as you go up to appear before Jehovah your God three times each year.
Έξ. 34:26:‘The first fruits of your land must be taken to the House of your God Jehovah. ‘You must not boil a lamb in its mother’s milk.’
Έξ. 34:27:Then Jehovah told Moses: ‘Write all of these words down, because they are the words of My Sacred Agreement with you and with Israel.’
Έξ. 34:28:Well, Moses was there with Jehovah for forty days and forty nights, and during that time, he didn’t eat any bread or drink any water. Then he wrote the words of the Sacred Agreement (the Ten Commandments) on the tablets.
Έξ. 34:32:And later, all the children of Israel came to him, and he told them all the Commandments that Jehovah had given him on Mount Sinai (Horeb).
Έξ. 34:34:Then, whenever Moses went in to speak to Jehovah, he would take off the veil until he [came back outside] to tell the children of Israel what Jehovah told him.
Έξ. 34:35:[Of course], it was because the children of Israel could see Moses’ face radiating that he wore the veil over it when he went in to speak to Jehovah.
Έξ. 35:1:Then Moses assembled the entire gathering of the children of Israel and said: ‘These are the commandments that Jehovah has told you to obey:
Έξ. 35:2:You can work for six days, but the seventh day is for resting. It is a holy Sabbath and a rest for Jehovah. Anyone who does work on [that day] must die.
Έξ. 35:3:You must not light a fire in any of your homes on the Sabbath day, for I am Jehovah.’
Έξ. 35:4:Then Moses told the gathering of the children of Israel, ‘This is what Jehovah has instructed you to do:
Έξ. 35:5:Take up [a collection] as an offering to Jehovah. Everyone whose heart moves him to do so, must bring as first-fruits to Jehovah, gold, silver, brass,
Έξ. 35:9:‘Then, any man among you who is wise at heart may come and create the things that Jehovah has commanded, such as:
Έξ. 35:21:And they donated as offerings to Jehovah everything that was needed for the Tent of Proofs and all its services, and all the clothing for the Holy Place.
Έξ. 35:23:So, many of them brought their gold jewelry to Jehovah, as well as fine linen and ram’s skins that were dyed blue or red.
Έξ. 35:24:And everyone who brought offerings also brought items of silver and brass to Jehovah. Also, anyone who had durable wood or the tools to work it, brought that.
Έξ. 35:29:So, every man and woman that was moved to do so, came to do all the work that Jehovah assigned to them through Moses, which the children of Israel donated as offerings to Jehovah.
Έξ. 36:1:So, BeSeleEl, EliAb, and all those who were wise and knowledgeable, were given the wisdom, knowledge, and necessary [skills] to do everything that had to be done for the holy offices, in the way that Jehovah had instructed.
Έξ. 36:5:Then one of them said to Moses, ‘The people are bringing in too many of the things that Jehovah told them to bring!’
Έξ. 36:14:and connected them to the shoulder pieces of the vest. This was done in memory of the children of Israel, as Jehovah had instructed Moses.
Έξ. 36:39:It was engraved in raised lettering, with the words ‘Jehovah is Holy.’
Έξ. 38:27:He made the basin so that Moses, and Aaron and his sons, could wash their hands and feet whenever they entered the Tent of Proofs, or whenever they went to serve at the Altar, as Jehovah had instructed Moses.
Έξ. 39:11:So, the children of Israel did everything as Jehovah had instructed Moses.
Έξ. 39:12:And the rest of the contributed gold was used to make furnishings that would be used in service to Jehovah.
Έξ. 39:22:Whatever Jehovah told Moses, the children of Israel did to complete the furnishings.
Έξ. 39:23:And when Moses looked at all the work and saw that they had done everything and made everything the way that Jehovah had told him, he blest them.
Έξ. 40:1:Then Jehovah told Moses:
Έξ. 40:16:This anointing of the Priesthood [must be done] through the ages.’ And Moses did everything that Jehovah told him.
Έξ. 40:19:Then he stretched the curtains over the Tent and installed the veil from the top of the Tent, as Jehovah had commanded.
Έξ. 40:23:And he brought in the showbread [and set it] before Jehovah, just as the Lord had instructed him.
Έξ. 40:25:and he mounted its lamps in front of Jehovah, just as the Lord had commanded.
Έξ. 40:34:Then a cloud covered the Tent of Proofs and it was filled with the glory of Jehovah.
Έξ. 40:35:Not even Moses could enter the Tent of Proofs, because of the cloud that covered it and the glory of Jehovah that was inside the Tent.
Λευ. 1:1:And Jehovah called Moses again and spoke to him in the Tent of Proofs. He said,
Λευ. 1:2:‘Talk to the children of Israel and tell them this: Any of you that bring an ox as a gift to the Lord; bring one that will be acceptable to Jehovah.
Λευ. 1:5:Then they must slaughter the calf before Jehovah, and Aaron’s sons (the Priests) must collect the blood and pour it around the Altar at the entrance to the Tent of Proofs.
Λευ. 1:9:they must wash the [animal’s] entrails and feet in water, and the Priests must put the rest of it on the Altar as a burnt-offering sacrifice and as a sweet odor to Jehovah.
Λευ. 1:10:‘However, if [the person] is offering a sheep as a gift to Jehovah (or a lamb or a kid) for a whole-burnt offering, it must be a perfect male.
Λευ. 1:11:He must put his hand on its head and they must kill it next to the Altar toward the north, before Jehovah. Then the sons of Aaron (the Priests) must pour its blood on and around the Altar.
Λευ. 1:13:Then they must wash its entrails and feet with water and the Priest must put the rest on the Altar as a burnt-offering sacrifice… as a sweet odor to Jehovah.
Λευ. 1:14:‘But if [the person] is offering a bird as a gift to Jehovah, it must be a dove or a pigeon.
Λευ. 1:17:He should then break off its wings, but not cut it up. And the Priest must put the burnt-offering sacrifice on the Altar over the burning wood as a sweet-smelling odor to Jehovah.
Λευ. 2:1:‘And if a person brings fine flour as a gift to sacrifice to Jehovah, he must pour oil on it and put frankincense on it before offering it as a sacrifice.
Λευ. 2:2:He must carry it to the Priests (the sons of Aaron) and take a handful of the fine flour with the oil and the frankincense, and then a Priest must put it on the Altar as a sacrifice and as a sweet odor to Jehovah.
Λευ. 2:3:The rest of the sacrifice must be [given to] Aaron and his sons as their holy portion from the sacrifices to Jehovah.
Λευ. 2:4:‘And if he brings [bread] that has been baked in an oven as a gift to sacrifice to Jehovah, it should be fermentation free and kneaded with oil into fermentation-free cakes.
Λευ. 2:6:it must be broken into pieces and then oil must be poured over it as a sacrifice to Jehovah.
Λευ. 2:7:‘However, if the gift of fine flour with oil that is to be offered as a sacrifice to Jehovah [consists of whole loaves] which were baked in an oven,
Λευ. 2:9:and the Priest must take it to the Altar and offer a portion of it as a burnt offering and as a sweet odor to Jehovah.
Λευ. 2:10:The rest of the sacrifice must be [given to] Aaron and his sons as their holy portion from the burnt offerings of Jehovah.
Λευ. 2:11:‘You must not have fermentation in any sacrifices that are brought to Jehovah, and no honey will be brought as a gift to Jehovah.
Λευ. 2:12:Such things may be brought to Jehovah as though they were fruit, but they must not be offered on the Altar as a sweet-smelling odor to Jehovah.
Λευ. 2:13:‘All gifts of sacrifices must be seasoned with salt. Don’t leave the salt of Jehovah’s Sacred Agreement out of your sacrifices. No matter what type of gift it is, it must be offered to Jehovah your God with salt.
Λευ. 2:14:‘And when you offer the first fruit as a sacrifice to Jehovah (the new grain), it should be ground and roasted, then brought as a sacrifice.
Λευ. 2:16:Then the Priest must offer a portion of the grain with oil and all the frankincense as a burnt offering to Jehovah.
Λευ. 3:1:‘If the gift to Jehovah is to be a peace offering and it is selected from among the cattle, it can be a male or a female, but it must be perfect to bring it before Jehovah.
Λευ. 3:2:The [the person] must put his hands on the head of the gift and slaughter it before Jehovah next to the entrance to the Tent of Proofs. Then the Priests (the sons of Aaron) must pour the blood on and around the Altar of burnt offerings.
Λευ. 3:3:For peace offerings, [these portions] should be offered as a burnt-sacrifice to Jehovah: the belly and all the fat in and around it,
Λευ. 3:5:The Priests (the sons of Aaron) must offer them on the Altar of burnt offerings over the burning wood on the Altar as a sweet odor to Jehovah.
Λευ. 3:6:‘And if the peace-offering gift to Jehovah is a sheep, it may be either a male or a female, but it must be perfect.
Λευ. 3:7:If the gift is a lamb, he must bring it before Jehovah,
Λευ. 3:9:The peace offering is then to be burned to Jehovah. He can take the healthy, fat hind parts and loins with him, but all the fat that is in and around the belly,
Λευ. 3:11:must be offered on the Altar by the Priest as a sweet odor and burnt offering to Jehovah.
Λευ. 3:12:‘And if his offering is a goat, he must bring it before Jehovah,
Λευ. 3:13:put his hands on its head, and slaughter it before Jehovah next to the entrance of the Tent of Proofs. Then the Priests (the sons of Aaron) must pour the blood on and around the Altar.
Λευ. 3:14:And the parts of the burnt offering [that will be offered] to Jehovah must be the fat in and around the belly,
Λευ. 3:16:Then the Priest must offer it on the Altar as a burnt offering and as a sweet odor to Jehovah. ‘All the fat is Jehovah’s.
Λευ. 4:1:Then Jehovah told Moses,
Λευ. 4:2:‘Speak to the children of Israel and tell them this: If a person sins against Jehovah in any of the Commandments that Jehovah says you must not do… but he does them unintentionally,
Λευ. 4:3:or if the anointed Priest sins and that causes the people to sin, then he must bring [an offering] for his sin. [He must bring] a perfect calf from his herd to Jehovah, for his sin.
Λευ. 4:4:He must bring the calf before Jehovah at the entrance to the Tent of Proofs, put his hand on its head, and they must slaughter it in Jehovah’s presence.
Λευ. 4:6:Then the Priest must dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it at the base of the Holy Veil before Jehovah seven times.
Λευ. 4:7:And he must put some of the calf’s blood on the horns of the incense Altar that is before Jehovah (inside the Tent of Proofs) and pour the rest of the blood at the base of the Altar, by the entrance to the Tent of Proofs.
Λευ. 4:13:‘Now, if the whole gathering of Israel unknowingly commits a sin and it goes unnoticed by them (if they should do something that is forbidden, shouldn’t be done, and is a sin against any of the commandments of Jehovah),
Λευ. 4:15:Then [all] the elders of the gathering must lay their hands on the calf’s head and slaughter it before Jehovah.
Λευ. 4:17:He must then dip his finger in some of the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the veil of the Holy Place, there before Jehovah.
Λευ. 4:18:‘The Priest must also put some of the blood on the horns of the incense Altar, which is standing before Jehovah, inside the Tent of Proofs. Then he must pour the rest of the blood at the base of the Altar of whole-burnt offerings, which is by the entrance to the Tent of Proofs.
Λευ. 4:22:‘And if one of the leaders should unknowingly break one of the commandments of Jehovah his God (something he shouldn’t have done in sin and error),
Λευ. 4:24:He must put his hand on the head of the kid, and they must kill it where they kill the whole-burnt offerings before Jehovah, as a sin offering.
Λευ. 4:27:‘And if a person among the people of the land should sin unknowingly against any of the Commandments of Jehovah by doing something that shouldn’t be done,
Λευ. 4:31:Thereafter, he must remove all the fat and offer it as a sacrifice of a peace offering. The Priest must offer it on the Altar as a sweet odor to Jehovah. [This is how] the Priest must pay for his sin, so it can be forgiven.
Λευ. 4:35:Then he must cut off all its fat, the same as he would for the lamb of the peace-offering sacrifice, and the Priest must put it on the Altar as a whole-burnt offering to Jehovah. [This is how] the Priest must pay for his sin, so it can be forgiven.
Λευ. 5:6:and [pay for] his sin against [Jehovah by offering] a female lamb from his flock or a goat kid as a sin offering, which the Priest must [offer] in payment for his sin. Then he will be forgiven.
Λευ. 5:7:‘And if he can’t afford a sheep, he must bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons to Jehovah. One [must serve] as a sin offering, and the other as a burnt offering.
Λευ. 5:12:He must carry it to the Priest and he must take a handful of it and lay a portion of it on the Altar as a whole-burnt offering to Jehovah, and as a sin offering.
Λευ. 5:14:And Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Λευ. 5:15:‘The person who is truly unaware and unknowingly sins against any of the holy things of Jehovah must carry something to Jehovah for his error. [It must be] a perfect ram from his flock (or its value in the type of silver coins that are accepted in the Holy Place) [to pay] for his mistake.
Λευ. 5:17:‘And if any person sins and does something that isn’t right and which is against any of Jehovah’s Commandments; even if he doesn’t realize it, he is guilty of a sin.
Λευ. 5:19:However, he has truly been found guilty of sinning before Jehovah.’
Λευ. 6:7:And Jehovah told Moses,
Λευ. 6:14:‘This is the law concerning the sacrifices that the sons of Aaron must bring to the Altar before Jehovah:
Λευ. 6:15:[The Priest] must scoop a handful of the fine flour of the sacrifice that was offered, along with its oil and all the frankincense, and put it on the Altar as a burnt offering and a sweet-smelling odor for Jehovah to remember.
Λευ. 6:17:it must not be baked with fermentaion. I am giving a portion of Jehovah’s burnt offering to them. It is very holy, as are the offerings for sin and the offerings for errors.
Λευ. 6:18:All the male Priests must eat it. This is to be the rule for burnt offerings to Jehovah throughout your generations and through the ages. For, whoever touches them will be made holy.’
Λευ. 6:19:And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Λευ. 6:20:‘This is the gift that Aaron and his sons must offer to Jehovah on the day when you anoint him: A quart of fine flour must be sacrificed, half of it in the morning and the other half in the evening.
Λευ. 6:21:It must be kneaded with oil into rolls [and cooked] in a pan, and then offered [on the Altar] in pieces as a sweet odor to Jehovah.
Λευ. 6:24:Then Jehovah told Moses,
Λευ. 6:25:‘Speak to Aaron and his sons and tell them, This is the law of the sin offerings: The sin offerings must be slaughtered before Jehovah in the same place as the whole burnt offerings, for they are very holy.
Λευ. 6:29:Then all the male Priests must eat it as something that is very holy to Jehovah.
Λευ. 7:1:This is the law of the peace-offering sacrifice that [the Priests] are to bring to Jehovah:
Λευ. 7:4:And [each person] must bring one gift as a separate offering to Jehovah for the Priest who pours the blood of the peace offering.
Λευ. 7:10:Any person who eats the flesh of the peace-offering sacrifice to Jehovah and is unclean, must not be allowed to live among His people.
Λευ. 7:11:And whoever touches anything unclean, whether it is the unclean things of a man, of a four-footed animal, or anything that is disgustingly unclean, then eats the flesh of a peace-offering sacrifice that has been offered to Jehovah, must not be allowed to live among His people.
Λευ. 7:12:Then Jehovah told Moses,
Λευ. 7:15:Whoever eats the fat of animals that they have brought as burnt offerings to Jehovah must not be allowed to live among His people.
Λευ. 7:18:Then Jehovah told Moses,
Λευ. 7:19:‘You must also tell the children of Israel this: Whoever brings a peace-offering sacrifice as a gift to Jehovah
Λευ. 7:20:must carry the fat that is on the breast and the liver in his hands. He must bring them and offer them as a gift before Jehovah.
Λευ. 7:25:These were [the instructions that were given] about how Aaron and his sons were to be anointed, and [regarding their responsibilities toward] the burnt offerings to Jehovah, back when He brought them up to serve as Priests to Jehovah.
Λευ. 7:26:It’s what Jehovah commanded on the day He chose them from among the sons of Israel, as a law through all their generations and through the ages.
Λευ. 7:28:[Jehovah gave these] commandments to Moses on Mount Sinai, back when He gave the commandments to the children of Israel on how to offer their gifts to Jehovah, while they were [camping] in the Sinai Desert.
Λευ. 8:1:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, and said,
Λευ. 8:4:So Moses did just as Jehovah told him. He assembled the gathering at the entrance to the Tent of Proofs,
Λευ. 8:5:and Moses told them, ‘This is what Jehovah has commanded us to do.’
Λευ. 8:9:Next, he put the turban on [Aaron’s] head and mounted the gold plate (this most holy thing) on the front of the turban, just as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
Λευ. 8:13:And Moses brought up Aaron’s sons, put on their robes and wrapped on their sashes, then put on their turbans, just as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
Λευ. 8:17:Then he burned the rest of the calf (its skin, flesh, and dung) in a fire outside the camp, just as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
Λευ. 8:20:So Moses offered the whole ram on the Altar as a burnt offering, and it was burned as a sweet-smelling odor to Jehovah, just as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
Λευ. 8:25:and from the basket of consecration that was before Jehovah, he took one fermentation-free loaf, one loaf made with oil, and one cake (along with the fat and the right shoulder),
Λευ. 8:26:and put them all in the hands of Aaron and his sons, who waved them before Jehovah.
Λευ. 8:27:Then Moses took it from their hands and put it on the Altar as the whole-burnt offering of the last lamb, and it was burned as an offering to Jehovah, providing a sweet-smelling odor to Him.
Λευ. 8:28:Then Moses took the last lamb’s breast and set it aside before Jehovah, and this was given to Moses as his portion, just as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
Λευ. 8:31:Then Moses told Aaron and his sons, ‘Now, boil the flesh in the Holy Place inside the Tent of Proofs, and eat it there along with the loaves in the last basket, just as Jehovah told me when He said, Aaron and his sons must eat this.
Λευ. 8:34:the same as He did on the day that Jehovah commanded me to do this to pay for your sins.
Λευ. 8:35:So, you must remain inside the entrance to the Tent of Proofs for seven days and nights. You must obey this rule of Jehovah so you won’t die… for that is what Jehovah God commanded me.’
Λευ. 8:36:So, Aaron and his sons followed the instructions that Jehovah gave as commandments to Moses.
Λευ. 9:2:And Moses said to Aaron, ‘Now, select a perfect young calf from the herd as a sin offering, and a ram to be a whole-burnt offering, then offer them before Jehovah.
Λευ. 9:4:and a calf and a ram as peace offerings to Jehovah, along with fine flour that is mixed with oil, because Jehovah is going to appear among you today.’
Λευ. 9:5:So, just as Moses commanded, they brought [the animals] to the Tent of Proofs, and the entire gathering came and stood before Jehovah.
Λευ. 9:6:Then Moses said, ‘This is what Jehovah told us to do… and then the glory of Jehovah will appear among you.’
Λευ. 9:7:And Moses told Aaron, ‘Come to the Altar. Offer your sin offering and your whole-burnt offering to pay for the sins of you and your family… then offer gifts for the people, to pay for their sins, just as Jehovah commanded.’
Λευ. 9:10:Next, he offered the fat, the kidneys, and the liver on the Altar as a sin offering, just as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
Λευ. 9:21:Then Aaron set aside the breast and right shoulder as a choicest offering before Jehovah, just as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
Λευ. 9:23:Then both Moses and Aaron went into the Tent of Proofs. And when they came out, they blest all the people. It was then that Jehovah’s glory appeared to all the people…
Λευ. 9:24:fire came from Jehovah that consumed the offerings on the Altar (both the whole-burnt offerings and their fat); and when all the people saw this, they were stunned and fell to their faces.
Λευ. 10:1:Then two of Aaron’s sons (Nadab and AbiUd) took their censers, put incense and fire in them, and offered it before Jehovah in a way that is quite different from what they had been commanded.
Λευ. 10:2:And at that, fire came from Jehovah and consumed them, so they died there before Jehovah.
Λευ. 10:3:Then Moses told Aaron: ‘Jehovah told us, I must be made holy by those approach Me, and I must be glorified before the whole congregation!’ Well, Aaron was badly shaken by this.
Λευ. 10:6:Then Moses said to Aaron, EliEzer, IthaMar, and his remaining sons: ‘Don’t uncover your heads or tear your clothes, unless you want to die and bring [God’s] anger down on the entire congregation! For then your brothers and the entire house of Israel would mourn this burning, which came from Jehovah.
Λευ. 10:7:Nor should you leave the entrance to the Tent of Proofs, or you will die; because Jehovah’s anointing oil is on you.’ And they did just as Moses told them.
Λευ. 10:8:Then Jehovah spoke to Aaron, and said,
Λευ. 10:11:And [you must] teach the children of Israel all the laws that [Jehovah gave] them through Moses.’
Λευ. 10:12:Then Moses told Aaron, EliEzer, IthaMar, and Aaron’s surviving sons: ‘Now, take the remaining sacrifices among the burnt offerings for Jehovah and eat [them with] fermentation-free bread close to the Altar, because that is a very holy [place].
Λευ. 10:13:Eating the burnt offerings to Jehovah in the Holy Place will be the law for you and your sons, because this is what I have commanded…
Λευ. 10:15:They must bring the choicest shoulder and [they must] separate the breast from the burnt offerings of fat, as a separate division before Jehovah. This is to be the rule for you, your sons, and your daughters through the ages, just as Jehovah commanded Moses.’
Λευ. 10:17:‘Why didn’t you eat the sin offering here in the Holy Place? It is a very holy [thing that Jehovah] has given you to eat before Him, so you can remove and pay for the sins of the entire gathering.
Λευ. 10:18:Why, its blood wasn’t even brought into the Holy Place… and Jehovah commanded you to eat [the sacrifice] here before Him!’
Λευ. 10:19:So Aaron asked Moses: ‘If they bring their sin offerings and whole-burnt offerings to Jehovah today, and [we were to] eat the sin offerings that are brought today (despite what we have done), would that be pleasing to Jehovah?’
Λευ. 11:1:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and Aaron and told them,
Λευ. 11:44:For I am Jehovah your God, and you will be made holy and you will stay holy, because I, Jehovah your God, am holy. So, you must not dirty your lives with any of the slithering, crawling things of the earth.
Λευ. 11:45:For I am Jehovah who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God. So you must be holy, because I Jehovah am holy.’
Λευ. 12:1:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Λευ. 12:7:Then he must present it before Jehovah and offer it to pay for her sins and her flow of blood. This law applies to her, whether she gives birth to a male or a female.
Λευ. 13:1:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and Aaron, and said,
Λευ. 14:1:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Λευ. 14:11:And the Priest who did the cleansing must present the man who is being purified, along with these [offerings], before Jehovah at the entrance to the Tent of Proofs.
Λευ. 14:12:Then the Priest must take the lamb and present it as a compensation offering, along with the cup of oil, and set them aside as a special offering before Jehovah.
Λευ. 14:16:then dip the finger of his right hand in some of the oil in his left hand, and sprinkle it before Jehovah with his finger seven times.
Λευ. 14:18:Any oil that is left over on the hand of the Priest should then be put on the head of the cleansed person, and the Priest must [use it to] pay for his sins before Jehovah.
Λευ. 14:19:‘Next, the Priest must sacrifice the sin offering as a payment to Jehovah for the sins of the person who is being purified, and then the Priest must slaughter the whole-burnt offering.
Λευ. 14:20:The Priest must offer the whole-burnt offering sacrifice on the Altar before Jehovah to pay for [the person’s] sins, so he can be cleansed.
Λευ. 14:23:These must be brought to the Priest at the entrance to the Tent of Proofs before Jehovah on the eighth day, so he can be purified.
Λευ. 14:24:Then the Priest must take the lamb of the compensation offering and the cup of oil, and set them before Jehovah.
Λευ. 14:27:and sprinkle some of the oil that is on his left hand with the finger of his right hand before Jehovah, seven times.
Λευ. 14:29:Any oil that is left on the hand of the Priest must then be put on the head of the one who is being purified, and the Priest must pay for his sins before Jehovah.
Λευ. 14:31:one for a sin offering, and the other for a whole-burnt offering. The Priest must use these to smooth the relationship of the person being purified with Jehovah.’
Λευ. 14:33:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and Aaron, and said:
Λευ. 15:1:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and Aaron, and said,
Λευ. 15:14:Then on the eighth day, he must obtain two turtledoves or two young pigeons and bring them before Jehovah at the entrance to the Tent of Proofs, and give them to the Priest.
Λευ. 15:15:And the Priest must offer one as a sin offering and the other as a whole-burnt offering. Thereby the Priest will pay for his sins before Jehovah for the discharge.
Λευ. 15:30:and the Priest must offer one as a sin offering and the other as a whole-burnt offering. Thus the Priest must pay for her sins before Jehovah for her unclean flow.
Λευ. 16:1:And Jehovah spoke to Moses (after Aaron’s two sons died for bringing unauthorized fire before Jehovah)
Λευ. 16:7:Then he must take the two goats and stand them before Jehovah at the entrance to the Tent of Proofs.
Λευ. 16:8:Then Aaron must cast lots over the two goats… one [will be] for Jehovah, and the other [will be] the scapegoat.
Λευ. 16:9:‘Then Aaron must bring up the goat which the lot [showed was Jehovah’s], and offer it as a sin offering.
Λευ. 16:10:And the goat that was chosen by lot as the scapegoat must be presented alive before Jehovah, to [cleanse] it, so it can be sent away as a scapegoat and released into the desert.
Λευ. 16:12:‘Then he must take his censer and fill it with coals from the fire on the Altar before Jehovah, fill his hands with fine mixed incense, and bring it inside the veil.
Λευ. 16:13:Then he must put the incense on the [coals] there before Jehovah, and the incense smoke must cover the propitiatory over the tablets inside the [Chest of] Proofs, so he doesn’t die.
Λευ. 16:15:‘Then he must kill the goat for the people’s sin offering before Jehovah, and he must bring its blood inside the veil, and do the same thing that he did with the blood of the calf, sprinkling its blood on and before the Propitiatory.
Λευ. 16:18:‘Afterward, he must go outside to the Altar that is before Jehovah, and put the blood of the calf and the goat all around the horns of the Altar, to pay for sins.
Λευ. 16:30:For on that day [the High Priest] must [offer the sacrifices to] pay for your sins and cleanse you from all your errors before Jehovah, and then they will be purged from you.
Λευ. 16:34:This must be your rule through the ages… that [he must offer sacrifices] for the children of Israel to pay for all their sins. It must be done once each year, just as Jehovah commanded Moses.’
Λευ. 17:1:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Λευ. 17:2:‘Speak to Aaron, his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and tell them, This is what Jehovah has commanded
Λευ. 17:4:[you must] bring it to the entrance of the Tent of Proofs as a sweet smelling whole-burnt offering or as a peace-offering sacrifice to Jehovah, for it to be to be acceptable. If you slaughter it outside and don’t bring it to the entry at the front of the Tent of Proofs as a gift to Jehovah, you will be held guilty of shedding the blood, and you must be cut off from your people.
Λευ. 17:5:‘All [cattle] that the children of Israel might slaughter in the fields as a sacrifice to Jehovah must be brought to the entrance to the Tent of Proofs and to the Priest, who must sacrifice it as a peace offering to Jehovah.
Λευ. 17:6:Then the Priest must pour its blood on and around the Altar before Jehovah and offer the fat as a sweet-smelling odor to Jehovah.
Λευ. 17:9:and fail to bring it to the entrance of the Tent of Proofs and sacrifice it to Jehovah, he must be destroyed from among his people.
Λευ. 18:1:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Λευ. 18:2:‘Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them [this]: I am Jehovah your God.
Λευ. 18:4:You must obey and follow My decisions and keep My rules, for I am Jehovah your God.
Λευ. 18:5:So, follow all My rules and all My decisions! Follow them in such a way [that you learn to] live by them; for I am Jehovah your God!
Λευ. 18:6:‘No man may approach a close relative and uncover his/her nakedness, for I am Jehovah.
Λευ. 18:21:You must not give of your sperm in service to a ruler, and you must not profane My Holy Name, for I am Jehovah.
Λευ. 18:30:‘So, you must keep My rules! You may not do any of the disgusting things that have been done [in the land] before you get there, and you must not pollute yourselves by doing [any of these things], for I am Jehovah your God.’
Λευ. 19:1:And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Λευ. 19:2:‘Speak to the gathering of the children of Israel and tell them: You must be holy, for I Jehovah your God am holy!
Λευ. 19:3:Everyone must fear his father and his mother, and you must keep My Sabbaths, for I am Jehovah your God.
Λευ. 19:4:‘You must not become an idol worshiper, nor may you mold [statues] as gods for yourselves, for I am Jehovah your God.
Λευ. 19:5:‘If you bring a peace-offering sacrifice to Jehovah, it must be offered willingly.
Λευ. 19:8:Also, the person who eats it will be [guilty] of sin, because he has misused the holy things of Jehovah, so he must be destroyed from among his people.
Λευ. 19:10:And when you pick the grapes in your vineyard, you must not gather them all, but you must leave some for the poor and for strangers, for I am Jehovah your God.
Λευ. 19:12:‘You must not swear a false oath in My Name, nor may you misuse the Holy Name of your God, for I am Jehovah your God.
Λευ. 19:14:‘You must not make fun of the deaf, nor should you set a trap for the blind, for you must fear Jehovah your God. I am Jehovah your God.
Λευ. 19:16:‘You must not march in treachery against your nation, and you must not [go to battle to shed] the blood of your neighbors, for I am Jehovah your God.
Λευ. 19:18:You must not raise your hands in vengeance, and you must not be angry with the sons of your people… you must love your neighbors as you [love] yourselves, for I am Jehovah,
Λευ. 19:21:Then, for his sin, he must bring a ram as an offering for his error to Jehovah at the entrance to the Tent of Proofs.
Λευ. 19:22:There the Priest must use the ram he is offering to pay Jehovah for the sin that he committed, and his sin must be forgiven.
Λευ. 19:23:‘And when you enter the land that Jehovah your God is giving you and plant any fruit trees, you must first purge away the filth [of the land], so its fruit must be unclean to you, and it must not be eaten for three years.
Λευ. 19:24:But in the fourth year, all the fruit will be holy and worthy of praise to Jehovah.
Λευ. 19:25:Then in the fifth year, you must eat the fruit, for that’s when it will produce a great abundance. I am Jehovah your God.
Λευ. 19:28:Nor may you make cuts on your bodies over [someone who dies], and you must not tattoo your bodies, for I am Jehovah your God.
Λευ. 19:30:‘You must keep My Sabbaths and fear My Holy Place, for I am Jehovah.
Λευ. 19:31:‘You must not associate with or pollute yourselves with those who speak by [the demons], nor have anything to do with witches, for I am Jehovah your God.
Λευ. 19:32:‘You must rise before a grey-headed person; [you must] value the faces of elderly men; and you must fear your God, for I am Jehovah your God.
Λευ. 19:34:You must treat strangers as natives, and you must love them as yourselves, for you were once strangers in the land of Egypt. I am Jehovah your God.
Λευ. 19:36:You must all have honest weights, scales, and liquid measures, for I am Jehovah your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt.
Λευ. 19:37:You must obey and follow all My Laws and rules, for I am Jehovah your God.’
Λευ. 20:1:And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Λευ. 20:7:For, you must be holy as I Jehovah your God am holy.
Λευ. 20:8:You must obey My rules and follow them, for I am Jehovah who makes you holy.
Λευ. 20:24:I have told you that you will inherit their land, and I am giving you this land that flows with milk and honey to be your own. For, I am Jehovah your God who is separating you from all those nations.
Λευ. 20:26:You must be holy to Me, because I Jehovah your God am holy, and I have set you apart from all other nations as Mine.
Λευ. 21:1:And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, ‘Speak to the Priests among the sons of Aaron and tell them that they must not [show themselves to be mourning] over the dead before the nation.
Λευ. 21:6:They must be holy to their God, and they may not profane the Name of their God, because they offer the sacrifices to Jehovah as gifts to their God, so they must be holy.
Λευ. 21:7:‘They must not marry a woman who is a whore, one who has been violated, or a divorced woman, because these [men] are holy to their God Jehovah.
Λευ. 21:8:They must remain holy, because they offer the gifts to their God Jehovah. They must be holy, for I Jehovah (who makes them holy) am holy.
Λευ. 21:12:He may not leave the Holy Place and he must not make the Holy Place of his God unclean, because he wears God’s holy anointing oil. I am Jehovah.
Λευ. 21:15:For, he must not profane his seed among his people. I am Jehovah who makes him holy.’
Λευ. 21:16:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Λευ. 21:23:but he must not approach the veil or get close to the Altar, because of his handicap. He must not dishonor the Holy Place of his God, for I am Jehovah who makes them holy.’
Λευ. 22:1:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Λευ. 22:2:‘Speak to Aaron and his sons, and warn them to be careful with the holy things of the children of Israel, so they don’t profane My Holy Name in anything that they offer to Me in a holy way, for I am Jehovah.
Λευ. 22:3:Tell them that throughout their generations, any of their seed that comes to Me to offer the holy things – whatever the children of Israel may offer to Jehovah – and do so while they are unclean… that person will be cut off from Me, for I am Jehovah your God.
Λευ. 22:8:‘They must not eat anything that dies on its own or that has been killed by wild animals, so they aren’t polluted by them, for I am Jehovah.
Λευ. 22:9:They must keep My rules so they don’t fall into sin in these matters and die due to their making themselves dirty, for I am Jehovah God who makes them holy.
Λευ. 22:15:‘They must not profane the holy things of the children of Israel that are offered to Jehovah
Λευ. 22:16:and thereby bring the sin of error upon themselves when they eat their holy things, for I am Jehovah who makes them holy.’
Λευ. 22:17:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Λευ. 22:18:‘Speak to Aaron, his sons, and to the entire gathering of Israel, and tell them; Any man among the children of Israel, and any alien that lives among them in Israel, who wishes to offer gifts as a confession, as they may choose – whatever they may bring to Jehovah as a whole-burnt offering –
Λευ. 22:20:They must not bring anything to Jehovah that isn’t perfect, for it won’t be accepted.
Λευ. 22:21:‘Whenever a man brings something to Jehovah from the herd, or a sheep, as a peace offering, or to fulfill a promise, or as a free-will offering; it must be perfect to be accepted… it shouldn’t have any flaws.
Λευ. 22:22:They may not offer anything to Jehovah that is blind, lame, has its tongue cut out, has warts, or a running sore, or a scar… nor may you offer any of these as burnt offerings on the Altar.
Λευ. 22:24:This is [also true] of one that has been castrated or has had its testicles crushed… you must not offer it to Jehovah, nor may you sacrifice it on your land.
Λευ. 22:26:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Λευ. 22:27:‘Calves, sheep, and goats must suckle their mothers for seven days from the time they are born, and after the eighth day, they can be accepted as burnt-offering sacrifices to Jehovah
Λευ. 22:29:‘If you vow to offer a sacrifice to Jehovah out of sheer joy, you must offer it willingly.
Λευ. 22:30:It must be eaten on that same day and not left over until the next morning, for I am Jehovah.
Λευ. 22:32:And you must not profane the Name of the Holy One, for I must be made holy in the midst of the children of Israel. I am Jehovah that makes you holy and
Λευ. 22:33:who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God… I am Jehovah!’
Λευ. 23:1:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Λευ. 23:2:‘Speak to the children of Israel and tell them: The feasts of Jehovah that you are going to call Holy Assemblies are My feasts.
Λευ. 23:3:You may work for six days, but the seventh day is the Sabbath, a [day of] rest and a Holy Assembly to Jehovah. You must not work on that day, for it is a Sabbath to [Jehovah… this covers] everything that you do.
Λευ. 23:4:‘Here are the feasts to Jehovah… the Holy Assemblies that you are to [observe] in each of their seasons:
Λευ. 23:5:‘On the fourteenth day of the first month, between the evenings, is Jehovah’s Passover.
Λευ. 23:6:Then the fifteenth day of that month is the Feast of Fermentation-free bread to [Jehovah]. So, you must eat fermentation-free bread for seven days.
Λευ. 23:8:And you must offer whole-burnt offerings to [Jehovah during those] seven days. Then the seventh day will be [another] Holy Assembly for you, [during which] you must not work for anyone.’
Λευ. 23:9:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Λευ. 23:11:and he must hold them up and wave the bundle before [Jehovah, for Him to] accept it from you. This must be done on the morning of the first day.
Λευ. 23:12:‘And on that same day, you must offer a perfect yearling lamb as a whole-burnt offering to Jehovah.
Λευ. 23:13:Then, along with this offering of meat, you [must offer] two measurements of fine flour mixed with oil as a sweet-smelling sacrifice, and a quart of wine as a drink offering to Jehovah.
Λευ. 23:15:‘Then you must count the days, starting from the day after the Sabbath when you offered the bundle of grain that was waved before Jehovah. And after seven full weeks,
Λευ. 23:16:on the morning following the last week (or after fifty days), you must bring a food offering to Jehovah.
Λευ. 23:17:You must also bring two loaves [of bread] from your homes that are made from two measurements of fine flour baked with fermentation as an offering of your first fruitage to Jehovah.
Λευ. 23:18:‘And with the bread, you must bring seven healthy yearling lambs, a calf from your herd, and two perfect male kid goats as whole-burnt offerings to Jehovah. These food and drink offerings are to be sacrificed as a sweet odor to Jehovah.
Λευ. 23:20:The Priest must set them aside with the first-fruitage loaves as an offering before Jehovah. They will be holy to Jehovah, but they will belong to the Priest who brings them.
Λευ. 23:22:‘And when you harvest your land, you must not reap everything in your field, nor may you gather anything that falls during the harvest. You must leave it for the poor and for strangers, for I am Jehovah your God.’
Λευ. 23:23:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Λευ. 23:24:‘Also, the tenth day of the seventh month is to be the Day of Atonement ([when you pay for your sins]). It [is also] to be a holy [day of] assembly for you. You must be very humble [on that day] and present a whole-burnt offering to Jehovah.
Λευ. 23:25:You must not do any work on that day, for it is a day when you pay for your sins before Jehovah your God.
Λευ. 23:33:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Λευ. 23:34:‘Speak to the children of Israel and tell them; On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, and the next seven days, is to be the Feast of Tents to Jehovah.
Λευ. 23:36:You must offer whole-burnt offerings to Jehovah for seven days, and the eighth day will [also] be a Holy Assembly to you, [during which] you must offer whole-burnt offerings to Jehovah. This is [to be] a free day, so you must not work for anyone.
Λευ. 23:37:‘These are the feasts to Jehovah, which you are to call Holy Assemblies, [and during which] you are to offer burnt offerings to Jehovah… whole-burnt offerings, food offerings, and drink offerings, each on its day.
Λευ. 23:38:This is in addition to the Sabbaths to Jehovah, and to your gifts, and to all your vows, and to all the free offerings that you will give to Jehovah.
Λευ. 23:39:‘On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, after you have completely harvested all the fruit of the ground, you must hold a feast to Jehovah for seven days… and both the first day and the eighth day will be rest days.
Λευ. 23:40:On the first day you must bring a large amount of fruit from your trees, some palm-tree branches, some thick tree branches, willow branches, and branches from water willows, as a rejoicing to Jehovah your God… [do this] for seven days each year.
Λευ. 23:43:so your descendants can see that I made the children of Israel live in tents when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. For I am Jehovah your God.’
Λευ. 23:44:So, this is how Moses explained Jehovah’s feasts to the children of Israel.
Λευ. 24:1:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Λευ. 24:3:outside the veil of the Tent of Proofs. Aaron and his sons must keep it burning before Jehovah continuously from evening until morning. This is a law through the ages for all your generations.
Λευ. 24:4:The lamps on the pure lampstand must be kept burning before Jehovah until morning.
Λευ. 24:6:Then place them in two rows, six loaves in each row, on the pure table before Jehovah,
Λευ. 24:7:and pour frankincense and salt over each row. Remember to set these things and the loaves before Jehovah
Λευ. 24:8:on each Sabbath. They must continue to be set before Jehovah by the children of Israel as a sacred agreement through the ages.
Λευ. 24:9:This will be for Aaron and his sons, and they must eat it there in the Holy Place, for this is their own very holy portion of the offerings that are made to Jehovah, as [part of] the Law of the ages.’
Λευ. 24:12:Thereafter, they locked him up and held him for judgment by Jehovah.
Λευ. 24:13:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Λευ. 24:16:and whoever [curses] using the Name Jehovah must absolutely be put to death, whether he is a native or an alien. The entire gathering of Israel must stone him with rocks, and he must die for [swearing by] the Name of the Lord.
Λευ. 24:22:This one judgment must be the same for both natives and aliens, for I am Jehovah your God.
Λευ. 24:23:Well, after Moses told this to the children of Israel, they took the man that had done the cursing outside the camp and stoned him with rocks… the children of Israel did just as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
Λευ. 25:1:Jehovah spoke to Moses [while he was] on Mount Sinai and told him,
Λευ. 25:2:‘Speak to the children of Israel and say to them: When you enter the land that I am giving to you, the ground must [be allowed] to rest during its Sabbaths to Jehovah.
Λευ. 25:4:but the seventh year will be a Sabbath during which the land should rest. During this Sabbath to Jehovah, you may not plant your fields, prune your vines,
Λευ. 25:17:No man should oppress his neighbor, for you must fear your God Jehovah. I am Jehovah your God.
Λευ. 25:36:You must not charge him interest or [tell him] to pay you more, for you must fear your God. I am Jehovah… and you must [help] your brother to keep living among you.
Λευ. 25:38:For I am Jehovah your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of CanaAn… and to be your God.
Λευ. 25:43:nor may you force them into hard labor, for you must fear Jehovah your God.
Λευ. 26:1:‘You must not mold [gods] for yourselves or carve them with your hands. Nor may you set up stone pillars in your land to worship, for I am Jehovah your God.
Λευ. 26:2:You must keep My Sabbaths and respect My Holy Places, for I am Jehovah.
Λευ. 26:13:I am Jehovah your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt where you were slaves. It was I who broke the shackles of your [slavery] and paraded you away before [everyone]!
Λευ. 26:44:But despite this, I didn’t fail to [keep an eye] on them while they were in the land of their enemies, nor did I hate them and void the Sacred Agreement that I made with them, for I am Jehovah their God.
Λευ. 26:45:‘Then I will remember the Sacred Agreement [that I made with them] when I brought them out of the land of Egypt and out of the house of slavery before that nation, to be their God. For I am Jehovah.
Λευ. 26:46:‘These are My decisions, My rules, and the Law that Jehovah Himself gave to the children of Israel from Mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.’
Λευ. 27:2:‘Speak to the children of Israel and tell them; Whenever someone wishes to make a vow to offer the value of a life to Jehovah,
Λευ. 27:9:‘And when cattle are offered as gifts to Jehovah by anyone, they become holy.
Λευ. 27:11:‘And if [someone brings] an unclean animal (which must never be offered as a gift to Jehovah), he must bring the animal to the Priest,
Λευ. 27:14:‘And if a man chooses to set aside his house as holy to Jehovah, the Priest must determine whether it is valuable or not, and whatever value the Priest sets is what must be paid.
Λευ. 27:16:‘And if a man should choose to designate a portion of a field that he owns as holy to Jehovah, then it must be valued by whatever is planted there. It will be worth fifty double-silver coins per two hundred and fifty quarts of barley.
Λευ. 27:21:However, after the Release, the field will be holy to Jehovah and subdivided, for the Priest will then own it.
Λευ. 27:22:‘And if a man should set aside a field to Jehovah that he has bought and which isn’t a family possession,
Λευ. 27:23:the Priest must calculate its value to the Year of Release, and that’s how much he must pay that day as holy to Jehovah.
Λευ. 27:26:‘All the firstborn cattle are Jehovah’s, so no man can [set them aside] as holy… whether it’s a calf or a sheep, it is Jehovah’s.
Λευ. 27:28:‘Anything a man has that he chooses to curse before Jehovah, whether it’s a man, an animal, or a field that he owns; it may never be sold or taken back. Everything that is cursed for destruction becomes very holy to Jehovah.
Λευ. 27:30:‘Anything in the land that is to be offered, whether it is seeds or the fruit of trees, is Jehovah’s… it is holy to Jehovah.
Λευ. 27:32:‘And a tenth of everything, including bulls, sheep, and anything else that is taxable, will be holy to Jehovah.
Λευ. 27:34:These are the commandments that Jehovah gave to Moses for the sons of Israel on Mount Sinai.
Αρ. 1:1:On the first day of the second month, two years after their departure from the land of Egypt, Jehovah spoke to Moses inside the Tent of Proofs [while they were still] in the desert at Sinai, and He said,
Αρ. 1:19:as Jehovah had commanded Moses there in the desert of Sinai.
Αρ. 1:48:for Jehovah had told Moses,
Αρ. 1:54:And the children of Israel did everything that Jehovah commanded Moses and Aaron.
Αρ. 2:1:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and Aaron and said,
Αρ. 2:33:However, the Levites weren’t counted among them, just as Jehovah instructed Moses.
Αρ. 2:34:And the children of Israel did everything that Jehovah told Moses. They each camped in their [specified] locations, and they marched in order by family lines.
Αρ. 3:1:These are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day in that Jehovah spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai.
Αρ. 3:4:However, Nadab and AbiUd died before Jehovah when they offered [incense] to Him in an unauthorized way, while they were in the Sinai Desert. And because they had no children, just EliEzer and IthaMar served as Priests with their father Aaron.
Αρ. 3:5:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and told him,
Αρ. 3:11:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Αρ. 3:13:For, all the firstborn have been Mine since the day that I struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt. I chose all the firstborn in Israel as holy to Myself – both the men and the animals – and they are Mine, for I am Jehovah.’
Αρ. 3:14:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses in the Sinai Desert and said,
Αρ. 3:16:So, Moses and Aaron counted them following Jehovah’s instructions.
Αρ. 3:39:All the Levites who Moses and Aaron counted, which were a month old and older (by family lines), following Jehovah’s instructions, were twenty-two thousand.
Αρ. 3:40:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said, ‘Now count all the firstborn males among the children of Israel who are a month old and older, and take their names.
Αρ. 3:41:Then take the Levites for Me in place of all the firstborn of the sons of Israel. Also, take all the Levites’ cattle in place of the first-born of the cattle of the children of Israel, for I am Jehovah.’
Αρ. 3:42:So Moses counted all the firstborn of the children of Israel, just as Jehovah commanded him.
Αρ. 3:44:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Αρ. 3:45:‘Now take the Levites in place of all the first-born of the sons of Israel, and the Levite’s cattle in place of their cattle, and they must be Mine, for I am Jehovah.
Αρ. 3:51:Then Moses gave the ransom for these extra ones to Aaron and his sons, according to the instructions that Jehovah gave to Moses.
Αρ. 4:1:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and Aaron and said,
Αρ. 4:17:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and Aaron and said,
Αρ. 4:21:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Αρ. 4:37:This is how many there were of the family of CaAth that served in the Tent of Proofs, as Moses and Aaron counted them, following Jehovah’s instructions to Moses.
Αρ. 4:41:This is how many there were of the family of Gedson that served in the Tent of Proofs, as Moses and Aaron counted them, following Jehovah’s instructions to Moses.
Αρ. 4:45:This is how many there were of the family of MeraRi, as Moses and Aaron counted them, following Jehovah’s instructions to Moses.
Αρ. 4:49:Then after they were counted (following the words of Jehovah through Moses), they appointed each man his job, and they reviewed his duties and discussed what he was to carry.
Αρ. 5:1:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Αρ. 5:4:And that’s what the children of Israel did; they drove them out of the camp, just as Jehovah told Moses.
Αρ. 5:5:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Αρ. 5:8:‘Now, if a man doesn’t owe anything to anyone for his sin, the sin-offering must be paid to Jehovah. A ram must be [be given to] the Priest as payment for his sins, and as the price to cover his sins.
Αρ. 5:9:‘And when it comes to the first fruitage of all the holy things among the children of Israel; everything that they offer to Jehovah must be [given to] the Priest for himself.
Αρ. 5:11:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Αρ. 5:16:‘Then the Priest must take [the woman] to stand before Jehovah.
Αρ. 5:18:Then the Priest must stand the woman before Jehovah, uncover her head, and place the sacrifice that is to be remembered (the sacrifice of jealousy) into her hands. ‘Next, the Priest must take the water which brings a curse into his hands.
Αρ. 5:21:then the Priest must make the woman swear [to accept] the oaths of this curse. ‘The Priest must say to her: May Jehovah bring a curse upon you by the oath [you have sworn] in the midst of your people. May Jehovah cause your [sexual parts] to rot away and your belly to swell.
Αρ. 5:25:‘Next, the Priest must take the sacrifice of jealousy from the woman’s hands and carry it to the Altar to present it before Jehovah.
Αρ. 5:30:or where a man develops a jealous spirit and becomes jealous of his wife. He should take his wife before Jehovah, and the Priest must make her follow this law.
Αρ. 6:1:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Αρ. 6:2:‘Speak to the children of Israel and tell them that whenever a man or woman wishes to make a great vow to set himself aside as holy to Jehovah,
Αρ. 6:5:during the whole period that he is set aside. Nor may a razor be used to cut the person’s hair until the period of the vow to Jehovah is completed. For the person must be holy and cherish the long hair of his head
Αρ. 6:6:for as long as his vow to Jehovah lasts, and he must not go near any dead bodies…
Αρ. 6:8:and they must remain holy to Jehovah during the entire period of their vow.
Αρ. 6:12:and he will [again] be made perfect to Jehovah during the rest of [the period of] the vow. Then he must bring a yearling lamb as an offering for the error; and because the vow on his head was polluted, the full period of [the vow] must be [restarted].
Αρ. 6:14:The gifts that he must bring to Jehovah are: one perfect yearling male lamb as a whole-burnt offering; one perfect yearling female lamb as a sin offering; one perfect male sheep as a peace offering;
Αρ. 6:16:‘The Priest must bring them before Jehovah and [sacrifice] the sin offering and the whole-burnt offering.
Αρ. 6:17:Then he must sacrifice the male sheep as a peace offering to Jehovah, along with the basket of fermentation-free bread, followed by the food offering and the drink offering.
Αρ. 6:20:Then the Priest must present them as an offering before Jehovah, and this holy portion will then belong to the Priest, along with the breast and shoulder of the wave offering. Then the person who made the oath must drink some wine.
Αρ. 6:21:‘This is the law for any person who makes a vow to Jehovah: [He must give all] his gifts that were promised to Jehovah, along with anything else that he may be able to afford, which is [in addition] to the things that are [required by] the strong vow of setting oneself aside as holy [to Jehovah].’
Αρ. 6:22:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Αρ. 6:24:May Jehovah bless you and watch over you.
Αρ. 6:25:May Jehovah’s face shine upon you, and may He have mercy on you.
Αρ. 6:26:May [Jehovah keep His eyes] on you and bring you peace.’
Αρ. 7:3:brought gifts before Jehovah. There were six covered wagons pulled by twelve bulls (two per [wagon]) that were contributed by the leaders, which were brought to the Tent.
Αρ. 7:4:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Αρ. 7:11:Then Jehovah told Moses, ‘One leader must also bring a gift each day for the dedication of the Altar.’
Αρ. 7:89:And from that point on, whenever Moses went into the Tent of Proofs to speak to God, he would hear the voice of Jehovah speaking to him from between the two cherubs that were above the Propitiatory, which covers the Chest of Proofs.
Αρ. 8:1:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Αρ. 8:3:And that’s what Aaron did. He [assembled and] lit the lamps to illuminate the area directly across from the lamp, just as Jehovah had instructed Moses.
Αρ. 8:4:The Sacred Lamp’s base and stem were of solid gold, as were its lilies. They were made following the pattern that Jehovah had shown to Moses.
Αρ. 8:5:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Αρ. 8:10:Stand them there in front of Jehovah, and have the sons of Israel lay their hands on the Levites.
Αρ. 8:11:‘Next, Aaron must set the Levites aside as a gift to Jehovah from the children of Israel, and they must be made ready to perform Jehovah’s work.
Αρ. 8:12:Then have the Levites lay their hands on the heads of the calves, and you should sacrifice one as a sin offering, and the other as a whole-burnt offering to Jehovah, to pay for their sins.
Αρ. 8:13:‘Then stand the Levites in front of Jehovah (and before Aaron and his sons), and give them to Jehovah as a gift…
Αρ. 8:15:‘Thereafter, the Levites must go to the Tent where they are to work, and you must purify them and present them there before Jehovah,
Αρ. 8:20:Then Moses, Aaron, and the entire gathering of the children of Israel did everything that Jehovah commanded Moses concerning the Levites.
Αρ. 8:21:The Levites purified themselves and washed their clothes. Then Aaron presented them as a gift before Jehovah, and [sacrificed] the payments for their sins to purify them.
Αρ. 8:22:Thereafter, the Levites entered the Tent to serve before Aaron and his sons, just as Jehovah had instructed Moses.
Αρ. 8:23:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Αρ. 9:1:It was in the first month of the second year after they had left the land of Egypt, that Jehovah spoke to Moses there in the Sinai Desert and said,
Αρ. 9:5:on the fourteenth day of the first month, there in the Sinai Desert. And the children of Israel did just as Jehovah told Moses.
Αρ. 9:7:and said, ‘We are unclean because we touched the dead body of a man. So, will we not to be allowed to offer our gifts to Jehovah at this time, along with the rest of the children of Israel?’
Αρ. 9:8:Then Moses said, ‘Stay here and I will listen to whatever instructions Jehovah gives us about this.’
Αρ. 9:9:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Αρ. 9:10:‘Tell the sons of Israel that whenever a man among you or your descendants has become unclean because of touching a dead body, or is far away on a journey, he must still keep the Passover to Jehovah,
Αρ. 9:13:But if anyone is clean and is not away on a trip, he must be sure to keep the Passover. Any person who doesn’t offer the gift to Jehovah at the proper time is guilty, and must be cut off from his people!
Αρ. 9:14:‘And if an alien should come into your land and wish to observe the Passover to Jehovah, he must do so according to the laws and instructions concerning the Passover. So there is just one law [concerning this], and it applies to both natives and aliens.’
Αρ. 9:18:So, the children of Israel camped by the commands of Jehovah, and they moved by the commands of Jehovah… as long as the cloud covered the Tent, the children of Israel were to camp.
Αρ. 9:20:For, whenever the cloud covered the Tent for a number of days, they were to camp, following the words of Jehovah, and they were to stay camped there by the commands of Jehovah.
Αρ. 9:23:for they were only to move by the commands of Jehovah. And this is what they did. They followed the instructions and commands that Jehovah gave through Moses.
Αρ. 10:1:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Αρ. 10:9:‘And if you must go to war against your enemies that will oppose to you in your land, you must also blow the trumpets as a reminder to Jehovah, and then you will be saved from your enemies.
Αρ. 10:11:This must be done as a reminder to you before your God, for I am Jehovah your God.’
Αρ. 10:13:And following the instructions of Jehovah through Moses, the first group started their march.
Αρ. 10:29:And Moses said to his father-in-law Jethro (the son of RaguEl the Midianite), ‘We are traveling to the place about which Jehovah said, I’m going to give this to you. So, come with us and we will treat you well, because Jehovah has promised good things for Israel.’
Αρ. 10:32:For if you go with us; when Jehovah does good things for us, we will do good things for you.’
Αρ. 10:33:Then they left the Mountain of Jehovah and traveled for three days. And the Chest of Jehovah’s Sacred Agreement was carried ahead of them for all three days as a comfort to them.
Αρ. 10:35:Then, when the Chest was brought forward, Moses said, ‘Arise, O Jehovah! Let Your enemies be scattered and may all who hate You run in terror!’
Αρ. 10:36:And when they reached its resting place, he said, ‘Turn [Your face] again, O Jehovah, to the thousands and tens of thousands in Israel!’
Αρ. 11:1:Then the people started murmuring sinful things against Jehovah, and He heard them. This made Him very angry, and a fire that came from Jehovah started burning among them, which consumed part of the camp,
Αρ. 11:2:so the people called for Moses. And after he prayed to Jehovah, the fire went out.
Αρ. 11:3:Thereafter, they called that place ‘The Burning,’ because that was where a fire from Jehovah had burned among them.
Αρ. 11:10:Well, Moses heard them sitting in front of their [tents] in family groups, crying. This made Jehovah very angry, and Moses viewed these actions as evil.
Αρ. 11:11:So Moses asked Jehovah, ‘Why have You done this to your servant, and why haven’t I found favor in Your eyes, so that You should lay the burden of these people on me?
Αρ. 11:16:Then Jehovah told Moses, ‘Gather seventy men from among the elders of Israel to Me. [Make sure that] you know they are the elders and scribes among the people, then bring them to the Tent of Proofs and have them stand there with you.
Αρ. 11:18:‘Then go to the people and tell them, ‘Now purify yourselves, because tomorrow you’re going to eat meat. Yes, you who have bawled before Jehovah and asked, Who will give us meat to eat? and said, Things were good for us [back in Egypt]! ‘So, Jehovah will provide meat, and you must eat the meat.
Αρ. 11:20:You’re going to eat it for a full month… until it comes out your noses! You’re going to be sick of it, because you disobeyed Jehovah who is here among you. You bawled before Him and asked, Why did we ever leave Egypt?’
Αρ. 11:23:Then Jehovah said to Moses: ‘Isn’t the hand of Jehovah big enough? By now you should know whether My words will come true!’
Αρ. 11:24:So Moses went out and told the people what Jehovah said. Then he gathered seventy men from among the people’s elders and stood them around the Tent.
Αρ. 11:25:Then Jehovah came down in a cloud to speak to [Moses], and He took some of the Breath that was in him and put it into the seventy elders. And when [God’s] Breath came to rest upon them, they started prophesying… and then they stopped.
Αρ. 11:29:But Moses replied, ‘Are you jealous for me? I wish that all of Jehovah’s people were Prophets when He puts His Breath on them.’
Αρ. 11:31:Then Jehovah blew His Breath, and [flocks of] quail blew over the sea and into the camp. They covered the ground several feet deep for a day’s journey all around the camp.
Αρ. 11:33:Well, they were still picking the meat that was stuck between their teeth when Jehovah showed how angry He was with the people, for He then struck them with a great plague.
Αρ. 12:2:They asked, ‘Is Moses the only one that Jehovah has spoken to? Hasn’t He also spoken to us?’ And Jehovah heard them say this.
Αρ. 12:4:so Jehovah immediately spoke to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, and said. ‘All three of you, come to the Tent of Proofs!’
Αρ. 12:5:So the three of them went to the Tent of Proofs, and Jehovah descended in a column of clouds. He stood there at the entrance to the Tent of Proofs and called Aaron and Miriam, and they stepped forward.
Αρ. 12:6:Then He said to them, ‘Listen to Me; If either of you are Prophets of Jehovah, I will make things known to you in a vision and speak to you as you sleep.
Αρ. 12:8:I’m not hidden to him, but I appear and speak to him mouth to mouth. Why, he has seen the glory of Jehovah, so why aren’t you afraid to speak against My servant Moses?’
Αρ. 12:9:Well, Jehovah was very angry with them; and then as He left,
Αρ. 12:13:Then Moses called to Jehovah and said, ‘Oh God, I beg You; Heal her!’
Αρ. 12:14:And Jehovah replied to Moses, ‘If her father had just spit in her face, wouldn’t she have been shamed for seven days? Therefore, she may not enter the camp for seven days; but then she may return.’
Αρ. 13:2:There Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Αρ. 13:4:So, following Jehovah’s instructions, Moses chose leaders from the sons of Israel and sent them out from the Desert of Pharan.
Αρ. 14:3:‘We would rather have died in the land of Egypt than in this desert! Why is Jehovah bringing us to this land just to be killed in war, and our wives and children to serve as prey? It would be better for us to return to Egypt!’
Αρ. 14:8:And if Jehovah has chosen us, He will bring us into this land and give it to us – a land that flows with milk and honey.
Αρ. 14:9:So, don’t leave Jehovah, and don’t be afraid of the people in that land, because they are just meat for us. Their time has ended, for Jehovah is with us. So don’t be afraid!’
Αρ. 14:10:Then all the people started throwing rocks at them. [And suddenly] the glory of Jehovah appeared in the cloud over the Tent of Proofs before all the children of Israel.
Αρ. 14:11:And Jehovah said to Moses, ‘How much longer will these people continue to anger Me, and how much longer will they refuse to believe Me after all the signs I’ve given them?
Αρ. 14:14:Also, the people who live in this land have heard that You are their Lord, that You are with these people, and that You, O Jehovah, have been seen face to face! Why, Your cloud rests upon them, and You lead them each day in a column of clouds and by a column of fire all night long.
Αρ. 14:16:Because Jehovah couldn’t bring His people into the land that He swore to give them, He has [killed] them in the desert!
Αρ. 14:18:Jehovah is patient, merciful, and true. He removes mistakes, errors, and sins. He will never acquit the guilty, but will bring the sins of fathers on their children for three or four generations.
Αρ. 14:20:Then Jehovah replied to Moses: ‘I will be [patient] with them as you’ve asked.
Αρ. 14:21:For as I live, and as My Name is living, the glory of Jehovah must fill the whole earth.
Αρ. 14:26:Then Jehovah spoke to both Moses and Aaron and said,
Αρ. 14:28:So, tell them that Jehovah says, As I live; Whatever I’ve heard you say is exactly what I’m going to do to you.
Αρ. 14:35:For I Jehovah have spoken, and that’s what I will do to this evil gathering that has stood together against Me. You will be totally destroyed and die here in this desert!’
Αρ. 14:37:were struck with a plague from Jehovah and died.
Αρ. 14:40:Then early the next morning, [Moses] stepped up to the top of a hill and said, ‘{Look!} Now those of us who are left are going to travel to the place where Jehovah told us to go, because we have sinned.’
Αρ. 14:41:And Moses asked, ‘Why didn’t you obey the words of Jehovah and prosper?
Αρ. 14:42:Now you can’t [enter the land], because Jehovah isn’t with you; otherwise you will [be cut down] before your enemies.
Αρ. 14:43:For the Amalechites and the CanaAnites stand there before you, and you will be cut down with swords, because you disobeyed Jehovah and turned aside. So, Jehovah will not be among you.’
Αρ. 14:44:Well, they went up to the top of the mountain and tried to force their way [into the land] anyhow, but the Chest of Jehovah’s Sacred Agreement and Moses never left the camp.
Αρ. 15:1:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Αρ. 15:3:and offer whole burnt offerings to Jehovah, or offerings to fulfill a vow, or free-will offerings, or feast sacrifices from the herd or flock as a sweet odor to Jehovah,
Αρ. 15:5:and a quart [of wine] as a drink offering with each lamb that you sacrifice as a sweet odor to Jehovah.
Αρ. 15:7:and two quarts of wine as a drink offering, as a sweet odor to Jehovah.
Αρ. 15:8:‘And if you offer a sacrifice from the herd as a whole-burnt offering, or a sacrifice to fulfill a vow, or as a peace offering to Jehovah,
Αρ. 15:10:and three quarts of wine as a drink offering, as a sweet odor to Jehovah.
Αρ. 15:13:All the natives in the country must do this whenever they offer sacrifices as a sweet odor to Jehovah
Αρ. 15:14:whether the person is an alien in your land or someone who was born among you, they must offer [the same] sacrifices as a sweet odor to [Jehovah… everyone among the gathering must offer sacrifices to Jehovah!
Αρ. 15:15:There must be just one law for you and for the aliens who live among you. It is a law through the ages and throughout your generations that the aliens must act as you do before Jehovah.
Αρ. 15:17:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Αρ. 15:19:and you start eating bread from the land, you must set aside a special wave-offering to Jehovah from the first fruitage of your dough.
Αρ. 15:21:as the first fruitage of your dough – and give it to Jehovah as a wave offering throughout your generations.
Αρ. 15:22:‘Now, if you should fail to follow all these commandments that Jehovah gave to Moses,
Αρ. 15:23:and which Moses has been telling you since the day that Jehovah selected you, and on through your generations,
Αρ. 15:24:and if an error is committed by mistake and without the knowledge of the gathering, then the whole gathering must offer a perfect calf from the herd as a whole-burnt offering and as a sweet odor to Jehovah, along with food and drink offerings (according to the rules), and one goat kid as a sin offering.
Αρ. 15:25:Then the Priest must make payment for the sins of the entire gathering of the children of Israel, and they will be forgiven, because it was a mistake, and they have brought their gift as a burnt-offering to Jehovah for their error and involuntary sin.
Αρ. 15:31:For when he disregards the Word of Jehovah and breaks His Laws, that person must be found guilty of sin and destroyed.’
Αρ. 15:35:But thereafter, Jehovah spoke to Moses and said, ‘The man must absolutely be put to death by the entire gathering. Stone him with rocks!’
Αρ. 15:36:So the entire gathering dragged him outside the camp and stoned him with rocks, just as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
Αρ. 15:37:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Αρ. 15:39:Then, whenever they look at these fringes, they must think of all the Commandments of Jehovah and remember to obey them, instead of turning back and following the immoral things of their imaginations.
Αρ. 15:41:for I am Jehovah, the God who brought them out of the land of Egypt to be their God… I am Jehovah your God!’
Αρ. 16:3:They came up against Moses and Aaron, and said, ‘That’s enough of you! Why, the whole gathering of Israel is holy, and Jehovah is among them; so why have you set yourselves up over the gathering of Jehovah?’
Αρ. 16:7:and put fire and incense in them to stand before Jehovah tomorrow. Then we will let Jehovah choose who will be holy. And may this settle the matter, you sons of Levi.’
Αρ. 16:15:Well, this upset Moses, and he said to Jehovah, ‘Don’t accept their sacrifices, because I haven’t taken anything that they want away from them, nor have I harmed any of them.’
Αρ. 16:16:Then Moses told KorAh, ‘Be sure that your whole group is holy, then get them ready to stand before Jehovah with Aaron tomorrow.
Αρ. 16:17:Each man must bring his censer, then you must each put incense in them and carry the censers before Jehovah… two hundred and fifty censers in all. Then you and Aaron must also bring your censers.’
Αρ. 16:19:There KorAh and his group stood defiantly as the glory of Jehovah appeared to the whole gathering.
Αρ. 16:20:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and Aaron and said,
Αρ. 16:23:And Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Αρ. 16:28:Then Moses said, ‘Now you will know that; when Jehovah sent me to do these things, it wasn’t on my own.
Αρ. 16:29:If these men just die a natural death, and if what happens to them is the same as what happens to all men, then Jehovah hasn’t sent me.
Αρ. 16:30:But if Jehovah brings a miracle and the earth opens her mouth and swallows them, their homes, their tents, and everything that belongs to them, and they go down into their graves alive, then you must know that these men have angered Jehovah!’
Αρ. 16:35:Then fire came from Jehovah and it consumed the two hundred and fifty men who were offering the incense.
Αρ. 16:36:Thereafter, Jehovah spoke to
Αρ. 16:38:[and use them as a sign against] those sinners and against their lives. Beat [the metal] into plates to cover the Altar, for these [censors] were brought before Jehovah as holy, so they must be used as a sign to the children of Israel!’
Αρ. 16:40:This was to serve as a reminder to the children of Israel that no one other than the seed of Aaron might come close to offer incense before Jehovah, so what happened to KorAh and those who conspired with him doesn’t happen to them. [And he did just] as Jehovah told him through Moses.
Αρ. 16:41:Well, the next day, the people started grumbling against Moses and Aaron again, and they shouted, ‘You’ve killed the people of Jehovah!’
Αρ. 16:42:Then a mob gathered against Moses and Aaron, and they foolishly ran into the Tent of Proofs. And at that, the cloud covered it and the glory of Jehovah appeared!
Αρ. 16:44:and Jehovah spoke to Moses and Aaron and said,
Αρ. 16:46:and Moses said to Aaron, ‘Take a censer, put some fire from the Altar and some incense in it, and quickly carry it into the camp to pay for their sins. Because, Jehovah’s rage has come upon us and He is already destroying the people!’
Αρ. 17:1:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Αρ. 17:7:Then Moses laid the walking sticks before Jehovah inside the Tent of Proofs.
Αρ. 17:9:Then Moses carried all the walking sticks that were before Jehovah out before the sons of Israel for them to see, and each [of the leaders] took his walking stick.
Αρ. 17:10:And Jehovah told Moses, ‘Now, place Aaron’s walking stick among the Proofs and keep it as a sign for these disobedient children. Then tell them to stop grumbling to Me, so they don’t die!’
Αρ. 17:11:And that’s what Moses and Aaron did… they did just as Jehovah commanded Moses.
Αρ. 17:13:Why, everyone who touches the Tent of Jehovah dies, so are we now going to be totally destroyed?’
Αρ. 18:1:Then Jehovah spoke to Aaron and told him, ‘You, your sons, and your [tribe] will be guilty of any sins against the holy things, and you and your sons [are responsible for] your Priesthood.
Αρ. 18:8:Then Jehovah told Aaron: ‘Look, I have given you all the instructions regarding the first fruitage of everything that is to be made perfect for Me by the children of Israel. This is an honor for you and your descendants, and it is a law through the ages
Αρ. 18:12:All the first offerings of oil, wine, grain, and whatever else they may offer to Jehovah, is yours.
Αρ. 18:13:All the first fruitage of the land – whatever is offered to Jehovah – must belong to you, and anyone in your home who is clean may eat them.
Αρ. 18:15:Whatever they bring to Jehovah, whether man or animal – everything that opens a womb – must be yours. However, the first-born of men and the first-born of unclean animals must be paid for.
Αρ. 18:17:However, you must not pay for the first-born calves, sheep, and goats, because they are holy. You must pour their blood on the Altar, and offer the fat as a burnt offering and a sweet odor to Jehovah.
Αρ. 18:19:All the special offerings of holy things – whatever the children of Israel offer as special to Jehovah – I have given to you, your sons, and your daughters who live with you. This is a rule through the ages. It is a Sacred Agreement of salt through the ages between Me, you, and your seed that descends from you.’
Αρ. 18:20:Then Jehovah told Aaron: ‘You aren’t going to receive an inheritance in that land, nor may you own any part of it, for I am your portion and your inheritance in the midst of the children of Israel.
Αρ. 18:24:because I have given the Levites the tithes of the children of Israel as their inheritance… everything that is offered to Jehovah. That is why I am telling them that they are to receive no inheritance among the children of Israel.’
Αρ. 18:25:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Αρ. 18:26:‘Speak to the Levites and tell them that when they receive the tithes from the children of Israel that I am giving them as their inheritance, they must set aside a tenth of the tithe as a wave offering to Jehovah.
Αρ. 18:28:They must set this portion aside from all tithe offerings to Jehovah and everything else that they receive from the children of Israel, and give My offerings to Aaron the Priest.
Αρ. 18:29:This includes a portion of all gifts that are given as offerings to Jehovah and all the first fruitage.
Αρ. 19:1:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and Aaron and said,
Αρ. 19:2:‘This is a commandment of the Law that Jehovah has given you: Speak to the sons of Israel and tell them to bring you a perfect unspotted red heifer that has never worn a yoke,
Αρ. 19:13:Also, anyone who touches the carcass of a man who has died and doesn’t get purified, will dirty the Tent of Jehovah, so that person must be cut off from Israel, because; if the cleansing water isn’t sprinkled on him, he is unclean and will remain unclean.
Αρ. 19:20:‘Any man who has become unclean and chooses not to purify himself must be cut off from among the gathering, because he has dirtied the holy things of Jehovah… if the cleansing water hasn’t been sprinkled on him, he remains unclean.
Αρ. 20:3:and they started shouting at Moses, saying, ‘We would rather have died when our brothers were destroyed before Jehovah!
Αρ. 20:4:Why have you brought the gathering of Jehovah into this desert… to kill us along with our cattle?
Αρ. 20:6:Then Moses and Aaron went to the entrance of the Tent of Proofs and stood before the people, and [they both] fell to their faces. Then the glory of Jehovah appeared to them,
Αρ. 20:9:So Moses took his walking stick that was there before Jehovah, just as Jehovah had commanded him,
Αρ. 20:12:Then Jehovah said to Moses and Aaron, ‘Because you didn’t believe Me enough to mention Me before the children of Israel, you won’t be allowed to lead this gathering into the land that I have given them.
Αρ. 20:13:This is the Water of Rebellion, because it’s where the children of Israel spoke rebelliously before Jehovah; yet I remained holy among them.’
Αρ. 20:16:Well, when we called out to Jehovah, He heard our voice and sent His messenger who brought us out of Egypt.And now we are in the city of Cades, at the edge of your land,
Αρ. 20:23:It was while they were at Mount Or (on the border of the land of Edom) that Jehovah spoke to Moses and Aaron, and said:
Αρ. 20:27:So Moses did just as Jehovah commanded him. He took them up Mont Or before the whole gathering,
Αρ. 21:2:Then Israel swore a vow to Jehovah, saying, ‘If You will hand them over to us, we will dedicate them and their cities to You.’
Αρ. 21:3:So Jehovah heard what [the people of] Israel said, and gave the CanaAnites into their hands. They [destroyed] them and their cities, and they started calling that place the Cursed.
Αρ. 21:6:So, Jehovah sent poisonous snakes among them that bit [many] people, and quite a few of the children of Israel died.
Αρ. 21:7:And then the people went to Moses and said, ‘We have sinned, for we have spoken against Jehovah and against you. Please pray to Jehovah and [ask] Him to take these snakes away from us!’
Αρ. 21:8:So Moses prayed to Jehovah for the people, and Jehovah told Moses, ‘Make a snake and raise it as a sign. Then, whenever a snake bites someone, they can look at [this sign] and they will live.’
Αρ. 21:14:And that’s why it was written about ZoOb (in the book of the Wars of Jehovah) that, ‘The dry river beds of Arnon were set on fire,
Αρ. 21:16:It was there that they came to a well, and Jehovah said, ‘I have given this well to Moses; so gather the people and I will give them water to drink.’
Αρ. 21:34:Then Jehovah told Moses: ‘Don’t be afraid of him, for I am putting him, his people, and his land into your hands. Now, do to him as you did to Seon the king of the Amorites who lived in Hesh-Eboneh.’
Αρ. 22:18:But BalaAm answered Balak’s leaders in these words: ‘If Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I still wouldn’t be able to violate the words of God Jehovah and do anything good or anything bad, for I know [this is wrong].
Αρ. 22:24:Then Jehovah’s messenger went and stood in the Avenue of Vines, which had a fence on both sides.
Αρ. 22:26:Then Jehovah’s messenger went ahead and stood in a narrow place where it was impossible to turn either right or left.
Αρ. 22:31:And at that, God opened BalaAm’s eyes so he could see the messenger of Jehovah standing in the way with his sword in his hand. So he prostrated himself and bowed to his face.
Αρ. 22:34:Well at that, BalaAm said to Jehovah’s messenger, ‘I have sinned! I didn’t realize that you were standing in our way. So, if it displeases you for me to go on, I will turn back.’
Αρ. 22:35:Then Jehovah’s messenger told BalaAm: ‘Go on with these men! However, make sure that whatever I tell you is what you will tell them!’ So, BalaAm traveled on with Balak’s rulers.
Αρ. 23:17:So he returned to Balak, who was standing next to his whole-burnt sacrifice, along with all the leaders of Moab. And Balak asked, ‘What did Jehovah say?’
Αρ. 23:21:There must be no trouble in Jacob, Nor may sorrow be seen within Israel; For Jehovah their God is with them, And the glory of kings is among them.
Αρ. 25:3:So, Israel had become totally devoted to Beel Phegor, which made Jehovah very angry with them.
Αρ. 25:4:And as the result, Jehovah told Moses: ‘Take all the leaders, then lay them out in the sunlight before Jehovah to make examples of them, so His anger will turn away from Israel!’
Αρ. 25:10:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Αρ. 25:16:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said, ‘Tell the children of Israel
Αρ. 26:1:Well, after the plague, Jehovah spoke to Moses and EliEzer (the Priest) and said,
Αρ. 26:4:and counted all [the soldiers] who were twenty years old and older, just as Jehovah had commanded Moses. And these are the [family lines] of Israel that came out of Egypt:
Αρ. 26:9:and his sons, NamuEl, Dathan, and AbiRam. [Dathan and AbiRam] were the famous men among the gathering who joined KorAh in opposing Moses and Aaron, and rebelling against Jehovah.
Αρ. 26:52:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Αρ. 26:61:but Nadab and AbiUd died when they offered unauthorized fire to Jehovah while they were in the Sinai Desert.
Αρ. 26:65:for Jehovah told them that they were going to die in the desert, and none were left except Caleb (the son of JePhonNe) and JoShua (the son of NaWeh).
Αρ. 27:3:‘Our father died in the desert, but he wasn’t among those in the gathering who rebelled against Jehovah by joining with KorAh. Rather, he died for his own sin… and he had no sons. [Please] don’t allow the name of our father to be blotted out from among his people just because he had no sons. Give us an inheritance among our father’s brothers!’
Αρ. 27:4:So, Moses brought their case before Jehovah.
Αρ. 27:5:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Αρ. 27:11:And if his father has no brothers, you must give the inheritance to the nearest relative in his tribe.’ These were the laws concerning the inheritance of possessions among the children of Israel that Jehovah gave to Moses.
Αρ. 27:12:Then Jehovah told Moses: ‘Go to the Mountain in the country beyond the Jordan (Mount Nabau) and gaze upon the land CanaAn, which I am giving to the sons of Israel.
Αρ. 27:15:Then Moses said to Jehovah:
Αρ. 27:16:‘May Jehovah, the God of all that is breath and all that is flesh, provide a man who will watch over this gathering.
Αρ. 27:17:Don’t leave the gathering of Jehovah as sheep without a shepherd, but [assign someone] to travel before them as their leader, who will lead them in and lead them out.’
Αρ. 27:18:And Jehovah said to Moses, ‘Choose and lay your hands on JoShua, the son of NaWeh, for he’s a man who has [God’s] Breath upon him.
Αρ. 27:21:Then he must stand alongside EliEzer the Priest, and whenever they come before Jehovah to ask for the judgments of the Revelation, they must do whatever he says… they must follow his instructions and the entire gathering of the children of Israel must unite behind him!’
Αρ. 27:22:So Moses did just as Jehovah commanded him… he took JoShua and stood him before EliEzer the Priest and the entire gathering.
Αρ. 27:23:Then he laid his hands on him and gave him his appointment, just as Jehovah ordered Moses.
Αρ. 28:1:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Αρ. 28:6:This whole-burnt offering is to be sacrificed through the ages as a sweet-smelling odor to Jehovah, just as it was offered on Mount Sinai.
Αρ. 28:7:[They must also bring] a drink offering – a quart for each lamb – and pour it out in the holy place as an offering to Jehovah.
Αρ. 28:8:‘As for the second lamb, the one that is to be [sacrificed] in the evening; it should also be presented along with a food offering and a drink offering, as a sweet-smelling odor to Jehovah.
Αρ. 28:11:‘And on each New Moon they must bring a whole-burnt offering to Jehovah, consisting of two calves from the herd, one ram, seven perfect yearling lambs,
Αρ. 28:13:and a quart of fine flour mixed with oil for each lamb, as food offerings and as a sweet-smelling odor to Jehovah.
Αρ. 28:15:Also, one goat kid must be brought to Jehovah as a sin offering, in addition to the regular whole-burnt offerings and drink offerings.
Αρ. 28:16:‘Then on the fourteenth day of the first month [they must celebrate] the Passover to Jehovah.
Αρ. 28:19:Thereafter, these whole-burnt offerings must be sacrificed to Jehovah: two calves from the herd, one ram, seven yearling lambs (which must all be perfect),
Αρ. 28:24:seven days a week, as a gift and a sweet-smelling odor to Jehovah, along with a drink offering.
Αρ. 28:26:‘Also, the day when the new grain is offered to Jehovah must be a holy day of rest, during which they may do no hard labor.
Αρ. 28:27:And these whole-burnt offerings must be brought as a sweet-smelling odor to Jehovah: two calves from the herd, one ram, and seven perfect lambs,
Αρ. 29:2:Then you must offer these whole burnt offerings as a sweet odor to Jehovah: one calf from the herd, one ram, and seven perfect yearling lambs.
Αρ. 29:6:This is in addition to the whole-burnt offerings for the New Moon Festival and their food and drink offerings, and the regular whole-burnt offerings, with their food and drink offerings (according to their laws), which must be offered as a sweet-smelling odor to Jehovah.
Αρ. 29:8:Then you must bring these whole-burnt offerings as a sweet-smelling odor to Jehovah: one calf from the herd, one ram, and seven yearling lambs, each of which must be to perfect.
Αρ. 29:11:You must also bring a goat kid as a sin offering, to pay for your sins. All of this is in addition to the other sin offerings, and the regular whole-burnt offerings, along with their food and drink offerings (according to their laws), which must be offered as a sweet odor and as a burnt sacrifice to Jehovah.
Αρ. 29:12:‘And the fifteenth day of the seventh month must also be a holy day of rest during which you must do no hard labor, for you are to hold a feast to Jehovah for the next seven days.
Αρ. 29:13:And you must bring these whole-burnt offerings as a sacrifice and as a sweet odor to Jehovah: On the first day you must bring thirteen calves from the herd, two rams, and fourteen yearling lambs, which must all be perfect.
Αρ. 29:36:And you must bring one calf, one ram, and seven perfect yearling lambs as whole-burnt-offering sacrifices to Jehovah.
Αρ. 29:39:‘These are the things that you must offer to Jehovah during your feasts, in addition to those that you offer in your vows as free-will offerings, and as your whole burnt offerings, food offerings, drink offerings, and your peace offerings.’
Αρ. 30:1:So Moses spoke to the children of Israel and told them everything that Jehovah had commanded.
Αρ. 30:2:Then Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel and said, ‘This is what Jehovah has commanded:
Αρ. 30:3:Whenever a man makes a vow to Jehovah, or swears an oath, or accepts a responsibility, he must not break his word… he must do whatever he says!
Αρ. 30:4:‘And the same is true of a woman. She must do whatever she vows to Jehovah. If she says that she will do something while she is young and still living in her father’s house, and her father hears her say it – as long as he doesn’t disagree with her making [such a vow] – then all her vows must be fulfilled,
Αρ. 30:6:However, if her father forbids [her vow] (or any other obligation that she agrees to) on the same day that he hears it, then she isn’t bound to it, and Jehovah won’t hold her accountable, because it was forbidden by her father.
Αρ. 30:9:However, if her husband forbids [her vow] (or any other obligation that she agrees to) on the same day that he hears it, then she isn’t bound to it and Jehovah won’t hold her accountable, because it was forbidden by her husband.
Αρ. 30:13:However, if her husband cancelled [her vow] (or any other obligation that she agreed to) on the same day that he hears it, then she isn’t bound to it and Jehovah won’t hold her accountable, because her husband forbade it.
Αρ. 30:17:These were the laws that Jehovah gave to Moses regarding a man and his wife, and regarding a father and his young daughter who is still living in his home.
Αρ. 31:1:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Αρ. 31:3:So, Moses spoke to the people and said, ‘Arm yourselves, then stand before Jehovah in battle lines and [prepare yourselves] to bring Jehovah’s vengeance upon Midian…
Αρ. 31:7:Then they arranged themselves in battle lines against Midian just as Jehovah had commanded Moses, and they destroyed them.
Αρ. 31:16:They were the ones [who listened to] BalaAm and misled the children of Israel by inciting their revolt and by teaching them to despise the word of Jehovah at Phogor; and that’s why Jehovah sent a plague on the gathering!
Αρ. 31:21:Then EliEzer (the Priest) told the men from the army who had just returned from battle, ‘This is what the Law that Jehovah gave to Moses says:
Αρ. 31:25:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Αρ. 31:28:And as a tribute to Jehovah from the warriors that went out to battle, take one out of every five hundred of the people, oxen, sheep, and burros, and
Αρ. 31:29:give them to EliEzer the Priest as the first fruits of Jehovah.
Αρ. 31:30:Then from among those things that are given to the children of Israel, you should take one out of fifty of the people, oxen, sheep, and burros, and give them to the Levites who teach at the Tent of Jehovah.’
Αρ. 31:31:So, Moses and EliEzer (the Priest) did as Jehovah commanded Moses.
Αρ. 31:37:six hundred and seventy-five sheep as a tribute to Jehovah.
Αρ. 31:38:And of their thirty-six thousand oxen, they gave seventy-two as a tribute to Jehovah;
Αρ. 31:39:of their thirty thousand five hundred burros, they gave sixty-one as a tribute to Jehovah;
Αρ. 31:40:and of the sixteen thousand people, they gave thirty-two of them as a tribute to Jehovah.
Αρ. 31:41:Then Moses presented all the tributes as a wave offering to Jehovah God, [and it was given] to EliEzer the Priest (just as Jehovah had commanded Moses)
Αρ. 31:47:And from their half, Moses took a fiftieth of the people and cattle, and gave them to the Levites who teach at the Tent of Jehovah, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
Αρ. 31:50:And those of us who found things that were made of gold, such as armlets, chains, rings, bracelets, and hair clasps, have brought them as our gift to Jehovah, to pay for our sins.’
Αρ. 31:52:and [they found that] the gold the captains of thousands and of hundreds offered to Jehovah was worth sixteen thousand, seven hundred and fifty silver coins.
Αρ. 31:54:Then Moses and EliEzer (the Priest) took all the gold items that the captains of thousands and hundreds contributed, and placed them in the Tent of Proofs, as a reminder to the children of Israel, there in front of Jehovah.
Αρ. 32:4:which Jehovah has delivered into the hands of the children of Israel, is pasture land, and we (your servants) have many cattle.
Αρ. 32:7:Why are you twisting the minds of the children of Israel by encouraging them not to cross into the land that Jehovah is giving them?
Αρ. 32:9:For, after they went into the Valley of Grape Clusters as spies, they twisted the hearts of the children of Israel, so that they didn’t want to enter the land that Jehovah gave them.
Αρ. 32:10:And this made Jehovah very angry, so He swore and said,
Αρ. 32:13:‘And because Jehovah was so angry with Israel, He made them wander in the desert for forty years, until the whole generation that did this evil thing before Him was gone.
Αρ. 32:14:Now {Look!} you’re following in the footsteps of your fathers and you have allied yourselves as sinful people to make Jehovah even angrier against Israel,
Αρ. 32:20:So Moses said to them, ‘If you do everything you’re saying… if you arm yourselves and march in battle before Jehovah,
Αρ. 32:22:and the land is settled before you return home, you will be free of guilt before Jehovah, and this land can be yours.
Αρ. 32:23:But if you don’t do that, you will sin against Jehovah and you will see the results of your sin when bad things happen to you.
Αρ. 32:27:And after that, we will march ahead [of Israel], all armed and ready for battle before Jehovah, as you said.’
Αρ. 32:29:He said, ‘If the sons of Reuben and Gad cross the Jordan armed and ready for war before Jehovah and help conquer the land before you, then you must give them the land of GalaAd as theirs.
Αρ. 32:31:And the sons of Reuben and Gad answered, ‘We will do whatever Jehovah tells his servants.
Αρ. 32:32:We will arm ourselves and march into the land of CanaAn before Jehovah, and you must give us our inheritance on this side of the Jordan.’
Αρ. 33:2:For, following the instructions of Jehovah, Moses wrote down the places that they moved to and where they stayed. So, here are the stages of their journey:
Αρ. 33:4:since the Egyptians were burying all the dead that Jehovah had struck down – all the firstborn in the land of Egypt – and He also brought vengeance on their gods.
Αρ. 33:38:It was there at Mount Or that Aaron the Priest climbed the mountain, following Jehovah’s instructions, and died there on the first day of the fifth month, forty years after they left the land of Egypt.
Αρ. 33:50:And it was there that Jehovah spoke to Moses (west of Moab by the Jordan River, close to Jericho) and said,
Αρ. 34:1:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Αρ. 34:13:Then Moses gave the children of Israel these instructions. He said: ‘This is the land that you’re going to inherit by lottery, as Jehovah commanded it to be given to the nine tribes and the half tribe of ManasSeh,
Αρ. 34:16:And Jehovah told Moses,
Αρ. 34:29:These were the ones that Jehovah command to do the distributing to the children of Israel in the land of CanaAn.
Αρ. 35:1:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses by the Jordan River near Jericho (west of Moab) and said,
Αρ. 35:9:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Αρ. 35:34:You must not dirty the land where you are living and where I am living among you, for I am Jehovah, and I live in the midst of the children of Israel.’
Αρ. 36:2:They said, ‘Jehovah commanded our lord to assign the land that the children of Israel will inherit by lottery. Then Jehovah told our lord to give our brother SalpaAd’s inheritance to his daughters.
Αρ. 36:5:So, following Jehovah’s instructions, Moses told the children of Israel, ‘In accordance with [the request of] the tribe of the children of Joseph,
Αρ. 36:6:this is what Jehovah has said concerning the daughters of SalpaAd: They may marry wherever they please, but they may only marry among their father’s tribe,
Αρ. 36:10:So, the daughters of SalpaAd did just as Jehovah commanded Moses.
Αρ. 36:13:These are the commandments, laws, and decisions that Jehovah gave to Moses west of Moab, by the Jordan River, near Jericho.
Δευτ. 1:3:It was the first day of the eleventh month of the fortieth year that Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and [he recounted] all the instructions that Jehovah had given Him concerning them.
Δευτ. 1:6:‘It was while we were at Mount Horeb that Jehovah your God spoke to us and said, You have lived on this mountain long enough.
Δευτ. 1:10:for Jehovah your God has made you grow. Look! There are now so many of you… like the stars in the sky in numbers!
Δευτ. 1:11:For, Jehovah the God of your ancestors has made you grow a thousand-times more, and He blest you and He spoke to you.
Δευτ. 1:19:‘Then we left the Dry Place (Horeb) and traveled through that great and terrible desert; and (as Jehovah our God instructed us) you saw all the land from the mountains of the Amorites to Kadesh Barne.
Δευτ. 1:21:{Look!} Jehovah your God has given you all the land that lies before you. So, go there and inherit it. And as Jehovah the God of your ancestors said to you, don’t be afraid!
Δευτ. 1:25:Then they took some of the fruit of the land and brought it back to you, and they said, The land that Jehovah our God is giving us is good!
Δευτ. 1:26:‘However, you refused to enter it and you rebelled against the words of our God Jehovah.
Δευτ. 1:27:Then you went back to your tents and started complaining, saying, Jehovah hates us, because he has brought us out of the land of Egypt just to put us into the hands of the Amorites who will destroy us!
Δευτ. 1:30:because Jehovah your God is traveling before you and He will fight them with you… and He will win, just as He did for you in the land of Egypt!
Δευτ. 1:31:Why, you’ve seen this happen [many times] while you were in this desert on the way to the mountains of the Amorites… Jehovah your God has carried you as dearly as any man could nurse his child during all your travels coming to this place.
Δευτ. 1:32:‘But you didn’t believe Jehovah your God,
Δευτ. 1:34:‘And when Jehovah heard the things you were saying, He became very angry. So He swore and said,
Δευτ. 1:36:except Caleb (the son of JephonNe)… he will see it and I will give this land that he traveled to, to him and his sons, because he did what Jehovah said.
Δευτ. 1:37:‘Then Jehovah became angry with me because of you. For he told me, You won’t enter the land either.
Δευτ. 1:41:’But later you said, We have sinned against Jehovah our God. And now we will go there and fight, just as Jehovah our God commanded us. So everyone grabbed his weapons of war and assembled to go back to the mountain.
Δευτ. 1:42:‘But Jehovah said to me, Tell them not to go and fight, because I’m not with them. Their enemies will destroy them!
Δευτ. 1:43:‘So I told you, but you wouldn’t listen to me! You disobeyed Jehovah’s Commandments and you forced your way up the mountain.
Δευτ. 1:45:And then you sat down and bawled before our God Jehovah, but He wouldn’t listen to you or pay any attention to you.
Δευτ. 2:1:‘Then we turned left and [traveled] through the desert, following the Red Sea, just as Jehovah told me, and we circled Mount Seir for many days.
Δευτ. 2:2:And finally, Jehovah said to me:
Δευτ. 2:7:‘Yet, Jehovah our God has blest you in everything that you’ve done. Just think of how you went through that great and terrible desert. {Look!} During those forty years under Jehovah your God, you haven’t lacked anything!
Δευτ. 2:9:It was then that Jehovah said to me, Don’t argue with the Moabites and don’t war against them, for I won’t give you their land as an inheritance, since I have given AroEr to the children of Lot as their inheritance.
Δευτ. 2:12:The ChorRhites also lived in Seir before the sons of Esau destroyed them and wiped them out; and then they took possession of the land, as Israel will take possession of the land that Jehovah is giving them as an inheritance.
Δευτ. 2:14:And we spent the next thirty-eight years traveling between Kadesh Barne and the Zaret Valley, until the whole generation of the men of war had died (as Jehovah God swore to them).
Δευτ. 2:15:For, it was the hand of Jehovah that destroyed them from among the camp, until they were all gone.
Δευτ. 2:17:that Jehovah spoke to me and said,
Δευτ. 2:21:They were once a great nation. They had more people and they were mightier than you are (as were the Enakim). But Jehovah destroyed them and [the AmMonites] inherited the land, where they live to this day,
Δευτ. 2:29:as we did with the sons of Esau who lived in Seir, and with the Moabites who lived in AroEr, until we reach the Jordan and the land that Jehovah our God is giving us.
Δευτ. 2:30:‘But Seon (the king of Hesh-Eboneh) wouldn’t allow us to pass through his land, because Jehovah our God hardened his spirit and gave him a stubborn heart, so he would be delivered into our hands that day.
Δευτ. 2:31:Jehovah said to me, Look! I’m putting Seon (the Amorite king of Hesh-Eboneh) and his land into your hands. Now inherit his land!
Δευτ. 2:33:But our God Jehovah handed him over to us and we cut them all down (him, his sons, and all of his people).
Δευτ. 2:36:And all the way from AroEr (which lies at the edge of the brook of Arnon, and its city in the valley) to Mount Gilead, there was not a town that escaped us. Jehovah our God gave them all into our hands.
Δευτ. 2:37:However, following Jehovah’s instructions, we didn’t go near the children of Amman or even close to its border at the Jaboc Brook and their cities in the mountains.’
Δευτ. 3:2:And Jehovah said to me, Don’t be afraid of him, because I’m giving him, all his people, and all of his land into your hands. So, do to him as you did to Seon, the king of the Amorites who lived in Hesh-Eboneh.
Δευτ. 3:3:‘And Jehovah our God did give him into our hands, as well as all of his people. We cut them down until none of his seed was left,
Δευτ. 3:18:‘And at that time, I told [the men of the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of ManasSeh] that Jehovah their God had given them this land by lottery, and that all the mighty [men] should then arm themselves and march ahead of their brothers, the children of Israel.
Δευτ. 3:20:until Jehovah our God provides their brothers a haven (as He has given them) and they inherit the land that Jehovah is giving them on the other side of Jordan… when each one has his own inheritance.
Δευτ. 3:21:‘That’s when I told JoShua: You have seen everything that Jehovah our God did to these two kings, and that’s what He’s going to do to all the kingdoms that you are crossing over to there.
Δευτ. 3:22:So, you must not be afraid of them, because Jehovah our God will fight for you.
Δευτ. 3:23:‘Then I went to Jehovah and asked,
Δευτ. 3:26:‘But Jehovah replied, Because you didn’t show respect or listen to Me, don’t ask Me about this anymore.
Δευτ. 4:1:‘And now, O Israel; Listen to the rules and decisions – everything that I’m going to teach you today – so that you can live, grow, and inherit the land that Jehovah the God of your ancestors is giving you.
Δευτ. 4:2:And don’t add anything to or take anything away from these Commandments that I’m giving you… obey the Commandments of Jehovah our God and do everything that I’m commanding you today!
Δευτ. 4:3:‘Why, you’ve seen everything that Jehovah our God did to the men [who started worshiping] Beel Phegor. Jehovah destroyed them all from among you…
Δευτ. 4:5:‘{Look} I’ve shown you the rules and decisions, just as Jehovah gave them to me, so you may follow them in the land that you’re traveling to and which you will inherit.
Δευτ. 4:7:‘Why, what other nation is so great that they have a God as close to them as Jehovah our God is [to us], so that we may call to Him about everything?
Δευτ. 4:10:the things that happened when you gathered before Jehovah our God at Horeb… when Jehovah said to me, Gather the people to Me and have them listen to My words, so they can learn to fear Me for as long as they live in the land, and then teach this to their sons.
Δευτ. 4:12:Then Jehovah spoke to you from the midst of the fire with a voice and words that you heard… and although you saw no shape, you heard the voice.
Δευτ. 4:14:‘And then Jehovah commanded me to teach you His rules and decisions, so you should obey them in the land that you’re going to inherit.
Δευτ. 4:15:Now, keep them in your hearts, for you’ve never seen another day like the one when Jehovah spoke to you on Mount Horeb from the midst of the fire!
Δευτ. 4:19:or look up in the sky and see the sun, moon, stars, or any of the other heavenly bodies that Jehovah your God provided to all the nations under heaven – and then go off and worship and serve them.
Δευτ. 4:21:‘Then Jehovah God became angry with me over things that you said, and He swore that I wouldn’t cross the Jordan and enter the land that He’s giving to you as an inheritance.
Δευτ. 4:23:‘Now, pay attention to yourselves and don’t forget the Sacred Agreement that Jehovah our God made with you. Don’t sin and carve images of any of the things that Jehovah your God told you not to do.
Δευτ. 4:24:For Jehovah your God is zealous, and He can be a consuming fire.
Δευτ. 4:25:‘Then, after you have fathered sons then grown old and had grandchildren; if you sin and carve images of things and start acting wickedly toward Jehovah your God and anger Him;
Δευτ. 4:27:Then Jehovah will scatter you among all the nations and you will become the minority among all the [people] wherever Jehovah sends you.
Δευτ. 4:29:‘But if you search for Jehovah your God there, you’ll find Him. For, whenever you are oppressed and you search for Him with all your hearts and souls, [you will find Him]…
Δευτ. 4:30:and that’s what will happen to you in the last days. Then you must turn to Jehovah your God and listen to His voice,
Δευτ. 4:31:because Jehovah your God is also a God of pity, so He won’t forget the Sacred Agreement that He promised to your ancestors, and He won’t leave you or destroy you.
Δευτ. 4:34:What [other] nation has God elevated and taken as His own with trials, signs, wonders, and war (with His mighty hand and mighty arm)… with all these great things that we saw Jehovah our God do in Egypt?
Δευτ. 4:35:So, you should know that Jehovah your God is The God, and that there is none other than Him!
Δευτ. 4:39:‘So, recognize all of this and consider it in your hearts. For, Jehovah your God is the God of heaven above and the earth below, and there are no others!
Δευτ. 4:40:And if you keep His Commandments and rules – all that I’m giving you today – it will go well for you and your descendants, and you may live on the land that Jehovah your God is giving you for a long time… for ages.’
Δευτ. 5:2:For, Jehovah your God made a Sacred Agreement with you at the Dry Place (Horeb).
Δευτ. 5:4:Jehovah spoke to you face to face at the mountain from the midst of the fire.
Δευτ. 5:5:And I stood between Jehovah and you at that time, and reported the words of Jehovah to you, because you were afraid of the fire and you didn’t want to get close to the mountain. And [there He] said:
Δευτ. 5:6:I am Jehovah your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt and out of the house of slavery.
Δευτ. 5:9:You must not bow before them or serve them, for I, Jehovah your God, am a zealous God, and I bring the sins of the ancestors upon the children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren of those who hate Me.
Δευτ. 5:11:You must not misuse the Name of your God Jehovah, for your God Jehovah will not forgive those who misuse His Name.
Δευτ. 5:12:Keep the Sabbath day and make it holy, as Jehovah your God commanded you.
Δευτ. 5:14:but the seventh day is the Sabbath of your God Jehovah, and you must do no work… not you, your sons or daughters, your male or female servants, your oxen, your burros, any of your cattle, or any converts that are visiting among you. Both you and your servants must rest.
Δευτ. 5:15:For, remember that you were once slaves in the land of Egypt, then Jehovah your God brought you out of there with His strong hand and mighty arm. So, Jehovah has instructed you to keep the Sabbath and to make it holy.
Δευτ. 5:16:Honor your father and mother, as Jehovah your God commanded you, so that things may go well for you and that you may live a long time in the land that Jehovah your God is giving you.
Δευτ. 5:22:‘These are the words that Jehovah spoke to the gathering with a loud voice at the mountain, from the midst of the fire, darkness, blackness, and storms… and He didn’t add any more. He wrote them on two tablets of stone, and then He gave them to me.
Δευτ. 5:24:you said, {Look!} Jehovah our God has shown us His glory and we have heard His voice from the midst of the fire today. We have seen that when God speaks to men we can still live.
Δευτ. 5:25:And now we’re [afraid] that we will die, because this great fire will burn us up and kill us if we listen to the voice of Jehovah our God anymore.
Δευτ. 5:27:So, we want you to go closer and listen to everything that Jehovah our God wishes say, then tell us whatever Jehovah our God says to you and we will all do it!
Δευτ. 5:28:‘And when Jehovah heard what you said to me, He replied: I have heard all the things that these people have said to you, and everything that they’ve said is good.
Δευτ. 5:32:They must pay attention and do as Jehovah their God commands them. They must not turn to the right or to the left,
Δευτ. 5:33:but they must follow the path that Jehovah their God will tell them to walk, so He may provide them rest and things may go well with them; and so that they may live even longer upon the land that they’re going to inherit.’
Δευτ. 6:1:‘These are all the Commandments, rules, and decisions that Jehovah our God gave us and taught you to obey in the land that you will inherit.
Δευτ. 6:2:So, fear Jehovah your God and follow all the rules and Commandments that I’m giving to you, to your sons, and to your grandsons, for as long as you all may live!
Δευτ. 6:3:‘Now listen, O Israel, and obey them, so that things may go well for you, and your [families] will grow, just as Jehovah the God of your ancestors promised that He would do for you when He gives you a land flowing with milk and honey. Yes, these were the rules and decisions that Jehovah gave as Commandments to the children of Israel while they were in the desert, after they left the land of Egypt.
Δευτ. 6:4:[He said], Listen, O Israel; Jehovah our God is [the only] Lord,
Δευτ. 6:10:‘And when Jehovah your God brings you into the land that He promised to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob – that He would give you great and beautiful cities that you won’t build,
Δευτ. 6:12:you must be careful not to forget Jehovah your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt and out of the house of slavery.
Δευτ. 6:13:So, you must fear Jehovah your God and serve only Him! You must stick to Him and swear by His Name.
Δευτ. 6:15:for Jehovah your God (who is among you) is a zealous God. Otherwise, Jehovah your God will be very angry with you and destroy you from the face of the earth.
Δευτ. 6:16:‘You must not test Jehovah your God as you tested Him in the [desert].
Δευτ. 6:18:And you must do everything that is pleasing and good before Jehovah, so that things may go well for you, and so that you may enter and inherit the good land that Jehovah promised to your ancestors,
Δευτ. 6:20:‘Then if your son should ever ask you, What are the words, rules, and decisions that Jehovah our God has given us?
Δευτ. 6:21:You must tell him, We were once slaves to Pharaoh in the land of Egypt; then Jehovah brought us out of there with His strong hand and mighty arm.
Δευτ. 6:22:For, Jehovah performed signs and great miracles for us there in Egypt, before Pharaoh and His house.
Δευτ. 6:24:Then Jehovah taught us to obey all His rules and to fear our God, so things will go well for us through the ages of our lives, down to today.
Δευτ. 6:25:For, Jehovah our God will be merciful to us if we pay attention and obey all these Commandments that He has given us.
Δευτ. 7:1:‘And when Jehovah your God brings you in and gives you the land where you are going, [He] will remove great nations before you – the Hittites, Gergesites, Amorites, CanaAnites, Pherezites, Evites, and Jebusites – seven nations that are larger and stronger than you are.
Δευτ. 7:2:Jehovah your God will give them into your hands and you must cut them down… destroy them! You must not make any treaties with them or feel pity for them,
Δευτ. 7:4:For they will draw your sons away to serve other gods, and Jehovah will be very angry with you and will soon destroy you.
Δευτ. 7:6:for you are a holy people to Jehovah your God, and He chose you to be His people over all the other nations on the face of the earth!
Δευτ. 7:7:‘But Jehovah didn’t prefer and choose you because there are more of you than there are in other nations, for you are smaller than the rest.
Δευτ. 7:9:Therefore, you should know that Jehovah your God is a faithful God who keeps His Sacred Agreements, and that He is merciful to those who love Him and keep His Commandments through thousands of generations.
Δευτ. 7:12:And after you hear them (if you decide to do them), Jehovah your God will keep His Sacred Agreement with you and show the mercy to you that He promised to your ancestors.
Δευτ. 7:13:He will love you, bless you, and make you grow; and He will bless the children who come from you, as well as the fruitage of your [fields] – your grain, wine, oil, herds of oxen, and flocks of sheep – in the land that Jehovah swore to your ancestors that He would give to you.
Δευτ. 7:15:Jehovah your God will also take away all illnesses… He won’t bring any of the terrible diseases that you saw in Egypt upon you, but He will bring them upon all those who hate you.
Δευτ. 7:16:‘Also, you may eat all that you loot from the nations that Jehovah your God is giving you. For you must not spare them, nor may you serve their gods, because that would be a sin!
Δευτ. 7:18:just remember all that Jehovah your God did to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians.
Δευτ. 7:19:For you have seen the great signs, wonders, and the strong hand and mighty arm that Jehovah your God used to bring you out of there, and that’s what He will do to all the nations… they will [shake in] fear when they see you!
Δευτ. 7:20:Jehovah your God will send hornets against them until any who are left and hiding from you are destroyed.
Δευτ. 7:21:Yet, none of you will even be wounded, because Jehovah your God who is among you, is a great and powerful God.
Δευτ. 7:22:‘However, Jehovah your God will destroy these nations a little at a time… you won’t be able to destroy them quickly, otherwise the land would become desert again and there would be too many wild animals in your fields.
Δευτ. 7:23:Yet, Jehovah your God will give them all into your hands, so you must [keep on] destroying them until they are all gone.
Δευτ. 7:25:‘Then you must burn the carved images of their gods in fires. You must not loot their [images] of silver or gold, for that would offend Jehovah your God… because these things are disgusting to Him!
Δευτ. 8:1:‘You must be careful to obey all the Commandments that I’m giving you today, so you can live and grow, then enter and inherit the land that Jehovah your God promised to your ancestors.
Δευτ. 8:2:Don’t forget how Jehovah your God led you through the desert where He tested and tried you in order to show what’s in your hearts… whether you would keep His Commandments or not.
Δευτ. 8:5:‘So, in your hearts you must know that Jehovah your God is disciplining you in the same way that any man should discipline his son.
Δευτ. 8:7:For Jehovah your God will bring you into a large and good land where there are flowing rivers and deep springs that run through the plains and through the mountains.
Δευτ. 8:10:‘Then, when you have eaten and are filled, you must praise Jehovah your God in the good land that He’s giving you.
Δευτ. 8:11:Pay attention to yourselves and don’t forget Jehovah your God or forget His Commandments, decisions, and rules, which I’m giving you today.
Δευτ. 8:14:don’t become proud in your in hearts and forget Jehovah your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt and out of the house of slavery,
Δευτ. 8:18:But you must remember that Jehovah your God is the One who gives you the power to gain your wealth… and this is due to the Sacred Agreement that He swore to your ancestors.
Δευτ. 8:19:‘And if you ever forget Jehovah your God and choose to follow, worship, and serve other gods, then I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you today, that you will be destroyed!
Δευτ. 8:20:For, just as Jehovah is destroying the nations before you, that’s how you will be destroyed if you fail to listen to the voice of your God!’
Δευτ. 9:3:But I want you to know today, that your God Jehovah will go ahead of you. For He is a consuming fire and He will destroy them… He will move them back before you and destroy them quickly, just as He promised.
Δευτ. 9:4:‘Now, after Jehovah your God has destroyed all these nations before you, don’t say in your hearts, Jehovah brought me here to inherit this good land because I’m so righteous.
Δευτ. 9:5:For, it isn’t because of your righteousness or due to the holiness in your hearts that you’re inheriting their land. Rather, it’s because these nation are so wicked that Jehovah will destroy them; and [He’s doing it] so that He may fulfill the Sacred Agreement that He swore to our ancestors, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Δευτ. 9:6:‘No, it isn’t because of your righteousness that Jehovah your God is giving you this good land as an inheritance, for you are a [rebellious] people.
Δευτ. 9:7:Don’t forget how much you angered Jehovah your God in the desert, starting from the day that you left Egypt until you arrived here, because you have continued to disobey Him!
Δευτ. 9:8:‘[Remember how] you made Jehovah so angry in the dry place (Horeb) that He wanted to destroy you?
Δευτ. 9:9:Why, when I went up the mountain to receive the stone tablets of the Sacred Agreement that Jehovah made with you, I was on the mountain for forty days and forty nights, during which I had nothing to eat or drink.
Δευτ. 9:10:Then Jehovah gave me the two stone tablets that had been written on by the finger of God… all the words that Jehovah said to you on the day that you gathered at the mountain were written on them!
Δευτ. 9:11:‘It was at the end of those forty days and nights that Jehovah gave me the two stone tablets that contained the Sacred Agreement.
Δευτ. 9:13:‘Then Jehovah said to me, As I told you before, I have seen these people and {Look!} they are rebellious.
Δευτ. 9:16:And when I saw that you had sinned against Jehovah your God and made yourselves an idol – something that Jehovah had commanded you not to do –
Δευτ. 9:18:Then I prayed, begging Jehovah, for forty more days and nights. I didn’t eat or drink anything then either, because of all your sins and the evil things that you did before Jehovah God to anger Him.
Δευτ. 9:19:And I was really frightened, because He was so angry with you that He wanted to destroy you! However, Jehovah listened to me one more time.
Δευτ. 9:22:‘You also angered Jehovah at the Burning, at the Temptation, and at the Graves of Greed.
Δευτ. 9:23:And when Jehovah sent you from Kadesh Barne and said, Now go and inherit the land that I am Giving you, you disobeyed Jehovah your God… you didn’t believe Him and your wouldn’t do what He said.
Δευτ. 9:24:Why, you’ve been disobedient to everything that Jehovah has said since the day that you came to know Him!
Δευτ. 9:25:‘So, I prayed to Jehovah for forty days and forty nights… that’s how long I prayed to Jehovah, begging Him not to destroy you!
Δευτ. 9:28:Otherwise, those who live in the land that You took us from will say, It’s just because Jehovah couldn’t bring them into the land He promised to them that He didn’t care for them and carried them away from here to kill them in the desert.
Δευτ. 10:1:‘Then Jehovah said to me, Cut two stone tablets for yourself, like the first ones, then come up to Me on the mountain. Also, make a wooden chest for yourself.
Δευτ. 10:4:And there He wrote the Ten Commandments on the tablets, the same as He did on the first ones (which Jehovah spoke to you about from the midst of the fire on the mountain), and He gave them to me.
Δευτ. 10:5:Then I turned and came down the mountain, and I put the tablets into the chest that I had made, just as Jehovah had commanded me.
Δευτ. 10:8:It was there that Jehovah assigned the tribe of Levi to carry the Chest of Jehovah’s Sacred Agreement and to stand before Jehovah to serve and praise His Name to this day.
Δευτ. 10:9:And from that point on, the Levites were to have no part in the inheritance of their brothers, because (as He told them), Jehovah is their inheritance.
Δευτ. 10:10:‘Well, I stayed on the mountain for forty days and forty nights. And Jehovah listened to me and decided not to destroy you.
Δευτ. 10:12:‘And now, O Israel, what does Jehovah your God require of you other than that you fear Him, walk in His paths, love Him, and serve Him with all your hearts and souls?
Δευτ. 10:13:So, obey the Commandments of your God Jehovah and follow all His rules that I’m telling you today, so things may go well for you.
Δευτ. 10:14:Look into the sky and into the heaven of heavens, for they, the earth, and all things that are in them belong to Jehovah your God.
Δευτ. 10:15:‘It is Jehovah who chose your ancestors and their seed (which includes you) over all the other nations, to be loved by Him.
Δευτ. 10:17:for Jehovah your God is the God of gods and Lord of lords. He’s the great, strong, and terrifying God who doesn’t [show special] favor to anyone or accept bribes.
Δευτ. 10:20:‘You must fear Jehovah your God… serve Him, stick to Him, and swear by His Name!
Δευτ. 10:22:Why, there were only seventy people (your ancestors) who went down to Egypt, but Jehovah your God has now made you like the stars in the sky in numbers!’
Δευτ. 11:1:‘So you must love your God Jehovah and follow His assignments, rules, Commandments, and decisions throughout your lives.
Δευτ. 11:2:‘Now, recognize that I’m not [addressing] your children here today… those who don’t know and haven’t seen the discipline of your God Jehovah, or His wonderful works, strong hand, mighty arm,
Δευτ. 11:7:Rather, [I’m addressing you]; for it was your eyes that have seen all these mighty deeds that Jehovah performed among us.
Δευτ. 11:9:that’s flowing with milk and honey, and then live a long time on the land that Jehovah promised your ancestors that He would give to them and to their seed.
Δευτ. 11:12:It’s a land that Jehovah your God will keep an eye on and watch over throughout the whole year.
Δευτ. 11:13:Now, if you will listen to all the Commandments that I’m telling you today and love and serve Jehovah your God with your whole heart and soul,
Δευτ. 11:17:For, if Jehovah becomes angry with you, He will bind up the skies and there won’t be any rain, the earth won’t produce its fruit, and you will soon be destroyed from the good land that Jehovah is giving you.
Δευτ. 11:21:so that your days and the days of your children will last a long time in the land that Jehovah swore to your ancestors that He would give to them for as long as the skies cover the earth.
Δευτ. 11:22:‘Now, if you listen to all these Commandments that I’m telling you today, and you love Jehovah your God, walk in all His ways, and stick close to Him,
Δευτ. 11:25:Then no one will be able to stand against you, and your God Jehovah will put the fear and dread of you over all the land that you walk on, just as He promised.
Δευτ. 11:27:The blessing will come if you listen to all the Commandments of your God Jehovah that I’m giving you today.
Δευτ. 11:28:And the curse will come if you don’t listen to the Commandments of your God Jehovah that I’m giving you today and you stray from the path that I’m setting out, and then start serving other gods who you don’t know.
Δευτ. 11:29:‘Now, after our God Jehovah has brought you into the land that you’re going to inherit, you must put the blessings on Mount GiriZim and the curses on Mount Ebal.
Δευτ. 11:31:‘So, as you cross the Jordan to enter the land that Jehovah our God is giving you to live in and inherit throughout your lives,
Δευτ. 12:1:‘Now, these are the rules and decisions that you must be sure to follow in the land that Jehovah the God of your ancestors is giving you as your inheritance, and during the entire time that you will live in the land:
Δευτ. 12:5:for your God Jehovah will choose one of your cities to have His Name put there, and that’s where He’ll call for you; then you must go there to search for Him.
Δευτ. 12:7:Then you must eat [the sacrifices] there before Jehovah your God, as you rejoice over all the things that Jehovah your God has touched and blest you and your families with.
Δευτ. 12:9:For until now, you haven’t arrived at the resting place and the inheritance that Jehovah our God is giving you.
Δευτ. 12:10:But you will soon cross the Jordan to live in the land that Jehovah our God is taking as an inheritance for you. And soon He will provide you rest from all your enemies round about you, and you will live in security.
Δευτ. 12:11:‘So there will be a place which Jehovah your God will choose to be called by His Name. And it’s there that you must bring all the things that I’m telling you to bring today… your whole burnt offerings, your sacrifices, your tithes, the first fruitage of your hands, and any gifts that you choose to offer as a freewill vow to Jehovah your God.
Δευτ. 12:12:And it’s there that you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, and the Levites who live outside your [city] gates (because they won’t have their own inheritance among you) must rejoice before Jehovah your God.
Δευτ. 12:14:just in the place that Jehovah your God will choose from among one of your tribes. That’s [the only place] where you may offer your whole burnt offerings, and that’s where you must do all the things that I’m telling you today.
Δευτ. 12:15:‘Now, you may kill and eat all the flesh you desire that has the blessings of your God Jehovah (such as male and female deer) in any city. And both the clean and the unclean may eat it there.
Δευτ. 12:18:You, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, and the strangers who are staying inside your [city] gates must eat such things before Jehovah your God in the place that He will choose for Himself; and it’s there that you must rejoice before Jehovah your God with whatever you’re bringing to Him.
Δευτ. 12:20:‘Now, when Jehovah your God enlarges your borders, as He told you He would do, and you desire to eat flesh; you may eat all the flesh that your soul desires.
Δευτ. 12:21:And if the place that Jehovah your God chooses for Himself (where His Name will be called) is far away from you; you may kill any [animals] from your herd or flock that God has given you (just as I’ve told you), and you may eat as much of it as you want in your own cities.
Δευτ. 12:25:You mustn’t eat it if you want things to go well for you and your descendants. Always do what is good and pleasing before Jehovah your God!
Δευτ. 12:26:‘But whenever you have holy things, you must take them and your vow offerings to the place where Jehovah your God will choose to put His Name.
Δευτ. 12:27:It is there that you must sacrifice the flesh of your whole burnt offerings… on the Altar of your God Jehovah. The blood of your sacrifices must be poured out at the foot of the Altar of your God Jehovah, and then you may eat the flesh.
Δευτ. 12:28:‘Be careful! Listen to and obey all the Commandments that I’m telling you, and then things will go well for you and your descendants through the ages… that is, if you do whatever is pleasing and good before Jehovah your God.
Δευτ. 12:29:‘Now, after Jehovah your God destroys the nations where you are going and you inherit their land and start living there,
Δευτ. 12:31:No, don’t do this to your God, because the things they sacrifice to their gods are disgusting to Jehovah, and He hates those who offer their sons and daughters to their gods in fires.
Δευτ. 13:3:don’t listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer, because Jehovah your God may be testing you to find out whether you love your God with your whole heart and soul.
Δευτ. 13:4:‘You must follow Jehovah your God and fear Him! You must listen to His voice and trust in just Him!
Δευτ. 13:5:Then that prophet or dreamer of dreams must be put to death for what he said in trying to make you turn from your God Jehovah (He who brought you out of the land of Egypt and who purchased you from slavery), and for trying to lead you away from the direction that Jehovah your God has commanded you to walk. So, you must remove any evil that is among you.
Δευτ. 13:10:Then they must stone him/her with rocks until the person dies, because he/she has tried to draw you away from Jehovah your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt and out of the house of slavery.
Δευτ. 13:12:‘And if you should hear people in one of the cities (which Jehovah God is giving you to live in)
Δευτ. 13:16:You most take all its valuable things into the streets and burn the city and its loot with fire before Jehovah your God, and it must remain uninhabited through the ages, never to be rebuilt.
Δευτ. 13:17:Don’t allow any of their cursed things to stick to your hands, so that Jehovah’s rage may turn away and He may show you mercy. ‘He will care for you and cause you to grow, just as He swore to your ancestors,
Δευτ. 13:18:if you will listen to the voice of your God Jehovah, keep His Commandments that I’m telling you today, and do everything that’s good and pleasing before Jehovah your God.’
Δευτ. 14:1:‘You are the children of your God Jehovah, so you must not shave your heads whenever someone dies.
Δευτ. 14:2:‘You are a holy people to Jehovah your God, and He has chosen you as His alone from among all the nations on the face of the earth.
Δευτ. 14:21:but you may not eat anything that dies on its own. You may give it to people who are visiting in your cities and they can eat it, or you may sell it to strangers, but you are a holy people to Jehovah your God. ‘You must not boil a lamb in its mother’s milk.
Δευτ. 14:23:and you must eat it in that place where Jehovah your God will choose to have His Name called. That’s where you must bring your tithes of grain, wine, oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks. ‘So, learn to always fear Jehovah your God!
Δευτ. 14:24:‘Now, if the journey to that place where Jehovah your God will choose to have His Name called is too far for you, and you are unable to take [your offerings] there because of the distance, Jehovah will bless you
Δευτ. 14:25:if you sell them for money and take the money to the place that Jehovah will choose.
Δευτ. 14:26:And there you may use the money to buy whatever your soul desires (oxen, sheep, wine, liquor… anything that your soul desires). Then you must eat it there before Jehovah your God, and you and your family must rejoice
Δευτ. 14:29:Then you must invite all the Levites, and all the strangers, orphans, and widows in your cities (those who don’t have anything to bring) to come with you, and they may eat until they are full. Then Jehovah your God will bless you in everything that you do.’
Δευτ. 15:2:and these are the rules: You must cancel any debts that your neighbors owe you personally, and you must not ask to have them paid back, because this is a cancellation [of debts] to Jehovah your God.
Δευτ. 15:4:That way, there won’t be any poor people among you and Jehovah your God will surely bless you in the land that He’s giving you as your inheritance.
Δευτ. 15:5:‘Now, if you listen to the voice of your God Jehovah and obey all these Commandments that I’m giving you today,
Δευτ. 15:6:Jehovah your God will bless you (as He told you), and then you will lend [money] to many nations. However, you must never borrow from them, nor may you rule over them… but they won’t rule over you either.
Δευτ. 15:7:‘If you find a poor man among your brothers in your city in that land which Jehovah your God is giving you, you must not be hard-hearted or tight-fisted with your brother who is in need…
Δευτ. 15:9:‘Now, be careful not to secretly say in your hearts, The seventh year (the year of cancellation) is getting close, then allow your eyes to look wickedly at your brother who is in need and not lend him anything. For, he will call out to Jehovah about you, and you will be guilty of a serious sin.
Δευτ. 15:10:So you must be sure to lend Him as much as he needs and not hold a grudge in your hearts. For, because of your good deeds, Jehovah your God will bless everything you do and everything you touch.
Δευτ. 15:14:You must give him provisions from your flock, your grain, and your wine… as Jehovah your God has blest you, that’s how you must treat him.
Δευτ. 15:15:‘Don’t forget that you were once slaves in the land of Egypt, and Jehovah your God bought you out of there; that’s why I’m telling you to do this!
Δευτ. 15:18:‘[None of] this will create a hardship on you, because the people will serve you for six years as hired hands, and Jehovah your God will bless you in everything you do.
Δευτ. 15:19:‘Now, when it comes to the firstborn among your oxen and sheep; you must offer the males as holy to Jehovah your God. You may not work a firstborn calf, and you may not shear a firstborn sheep.
Δευτ. 15:20:You and your household must eat them before Jehovah each year in the place that Jehovah your God will choose.
Δευτ. 15:21:However; if it’s lame, blind, or deformed, you must not sacrifice it to Jehovah your God.
Δευτ. 16:1:‘You must celebrate the month of New Grain and sacrifice the Passover to Jehovah your God, because that’s the month when you left Egypt during the night.
Δευτ. 16:2:You must sacrifice your Passover sheep and oxen in that place where Jehovah your God will select to have His Name called.
Δευτ. 16:5:Nor are you allowed to sacrifice the Passover in any of the cities that Jehovah your God is giving you.
Δευτ. 16:6:The Passover may not be sacrificed anywhere other than in the place that Jehovah your God will choose to have His Name called, in the evening just after sunset… which is the time that you left Egypt.
Δευτ. 16:7:Then you must boil or roast it, and then eat it in the place that Jehovah your God will choose; and don’t return home until the next morning!
Δευτ. 16:8:You must eat fermentation-free bread for six days, and then the seventh day is to be a holiday and a feast to Jehovah your God, during which you may not do any work other that which is common to everyone.
Δευτ. 16:10:and you must celebrate the Festival of Weeks to Jehovah your God with as much strength and with as many things as Jehovah your God has given you.
Δευτ. 16:11:You must rejoice before Jehovah your God with your sons and daughters, male and female servants, the Levites, strangers, orphans, and the widows who live among you in that place where Jehovah your God will choose to have His Name called.
Δευτ. 16:15:You must hold a feast to Jehovah your God for seven days in the place that Jehovah your God will choose for Himself. And you must rejoice over all the harvest that Jehovah your God has blest you with and for all the things that you’ve accomplished.
Δευτ. 16:16:‘All your males must appear before Jehovah your God three times each year in the place that Jehovah will choose, for: · The Festival of Fermentation-free Bread · The Festival of Weeks · The Festival of Temporary Dwellings. And don’t appear before Jehovah your God empty handed!
Δευτ. 16:17:Each one must bring whatever he can, as Jehovah your God has blest him.
Δευτ. 16:18:‘You must appoint judges and officials in the cities that Jehovah your God is giving to each of your tribes, and they must judge the people righteously.
Δευτ. 16:20:You must always work at being just, so you may live and inherit the land that Jehovah your God is giving you.
Δευτ. 16:22:nor may you erect sacred columns for yourselves, for Jehovah your God hates such things!’
Δευτ. 17:1:‘You must not sacrifice a calf or a sheep to Jehovah your God that is scarred or deformed in any way, for that would be disgusting to Jehovah your God.
Δευτ. 17:2:‘And if a man or a woman should ever be found among you (in any of the cities that Jehovah your God is giving you) who chooses to do what is evil before Jehovah and sins against His Sacred Agreement
Δευτ. 17:9:you must take the matter to the Levite Priests who will then be at the place which Jehovah your God will choose, and have them try the case. They must perform their own investigation and report their findings to you.
Δευτ. 17:10:Then you must do whatever they have decided in the place that Jehovah your God will choose. You must be sure to do whatever the Law tells you to do.
Δευτ. 17:12:For, any man who acts so haughtily that he won’t listen to the Priests who stand and serve in the Name of your God Jehovah, or to a presiding judge, must be put to death. You must remove that evil person from Israel;
Δευτ. 17:14:‘And when you enter the land that Jehovah your God is giving you (after you’ve inherited it and lived there), and you decide that you want a king to rule over you (like the other nations around you),
Δευτ. 17:15:he must be chosen by Jehovah God. Kings may only be selected from among your brothers, so don’t empower yourselves to select a king who isn’t a brother.
Δευτ. 17:16:‘[And no king should] accumulate horses for himself, nor may he send [My] people back to Egypt. He may [decide to] do this if he starts collecting horses for himself, but Jehovah has told you not to go back there again!
Δευτ. 17:19:Then they must keep it and read from it all the days of their lives, so they will learn to fear Jehovah their God and keep and observe all these Commandments and rules.
Δευτ. 18:1:‘None of the Priests, including the whole tribe of Levi, will have any inheritance in Israel, because the burnt offerings of Jehovah are their inheritance and what they will eat.
Δευτ. 18:2:They will have no inheritance among their brothers, because Jehovah is their portion, just as He told them.
Δευτ. 18:5:This is because Jehovah has chosen them from among all your tribes to stand before Jehovah your God, to serve and praise His Name, and [to serve] His sons, the children of Israel.
Δευτ. 18:7:he must serve the Name of His God Jehovah. And all His brothers (the Levites who stand and offer [the sacrifices] to Jehovah your God)

Δευτ. 18:12:For through the ages, those who have done such things have been disgusting to Jehovah your God. And if you do such disgusting things, Jehovah will destroy you from before His face…
Δευτ. 18:13:you must be perfect before Jehovah your God!
Δευτ. 18:14:‘Now, all those nations whose land you will inherit have listened to these omens and [followed these] occult practices, but Jehovah your God doesn’t allow you to do that.
Δευτ. 18:15:‘Then Jehovah your God will raise a Prophet like me from among your brothers, and you must listen to him,
Δευτ. 18:16:as when you received all that you desired from Jehovah your God in the dry place (Horeb) after the whole gathering said, We don’t want to listen to the voice of your God Jehovah again or see His great fire, so we won’t die.
Δευτ. 18:17:For, Jehovah said to me, What they have said is good,
Δευτ. 18:21:‘And if you ever wonder in your hearts which words Jehovah didn’t say;
Δευτ. 18:22:[remember that] anything a prophet says in the Name of the Lord that doesn’t come true, is something that Jehovah didn’t say. So, that prophet has spoken wickedly and he must die!’

Δευτ. 19:14:‘Don’t move your neighbor’s property markers that were set by your ancestors as their inheritance… those which will been assigned to you in the land that Jehovah your God is giving you as your inheritance.
Δευτ. 19:17:both people in the controversy must stand before Jehovah and before the Priests or judges in those days.

Δευτ. 20:13:until Jehovah your God gives it into your hands. Then you must kill all the men there with swords.
Δευτ. 20:14:You may spare the women, their possessions, all the cattle, and anything else that is in the city… you may loot it and take whatever you wish, and you may also eat whatever your enemies have, because Jehovah your God has given it to you.
Δευτ. 20:15:‘Now, that’s what you must do to the distant cities, not to the cities of these nations that Jehovah your God is giving you and where you will inherit their land.
Δευτ. 20:17:You must curse the Hittites, Amorites, CanaAnites, Pherezites, Evites, Jebusites, and Gergesites, just as Jehovah your God commanded you,
Δευτ. 20:18:so they don’t teach you to do all the disgusting things that they are doing before their gods and cause you to sin before Jehovah your God.
Δευτ. 21:1:‘And if anyone is found murdered with a knife, and [his body is] left in a field in the land that Jehovah your God is giving you to inherit, and no one knows who did it,

Δευτ. 21:23:don’t allow his body to remain on the tree overnight. You must bury it on that same day, because through the ages, anyone who is hanged on a tree is cursed before God, and you must not [allow it to] dirty the land that Jehovah your God is giving you as your inheritance.’
Δευτ. 22:5:‘A woman should never wear men’s clothing, nor should a man wear women’s clothing. For through the ages, such a thing has been considered disgusting by Jehovah your God.

Δευτ. 23:14:[You must do this] because Jehovah your God walks in your camp to save you and to give your enemies [into your hands], so your camp must be holy and nothing disgusting may be seen, so He doesn’t turn away from you.
Δευτ. 23:18:‘You may not bring the wages of a prostitute or the price of a dog into the House of your God Jehovah to pay for any vow, because both of them are disgusting to Jehovah.
Δευτ. 23:20:You may charge interest on loans to strangers, but not to your brothers, so Jehovah your God will bless what you do in the entire land that you are entering and will inherit.
Δευτ. 23:21:‘Whenever you swear an oath to Jehovah your God, you must be quick about paying it, for Jehovah your God requires that you do so. Otherwise, this would be a sin against you.
Δευτ. 23:23:But whatever you vow to offer as a gift to Jehovah God must be [paid] as promised.’
Δευτ. 24:6:the former husband may not remarry her after she has had sex with the other man, because that is a disgusting thing before Jehovah your God. You must not dirty the land that Jehovah your God is giving you to inherit.

Δευτ. 24:17:You must pay them their wages on the same day. Don’t allow the sun to set before [paying them], because they are poor and they need it. For if you do, they will call out to Jehovah about you, and it will be a sin for you.
Δευτ. 24:20:For, remember that you were once slaves in the land of Egypt, and Jehovah your God bought you from there. So, do what I’m telling you!

Δευτ. 26:4:‘Then the Priest must take the basket from your hands and set it before the Altar of your God Jehovah,
Δευτ. 26:5:and he must answer you and say before Jehovah, A small group of my ancestors (who came from Syria) went down to Egypt and stayed there, where they grew into a large number and a mighty nation.
Δευτ. 26:7:Then we called out to Jehovah our God and He heard us. And when He saw our humiliation, our hardships, and how hard we were working,

Δευτ. 28:35:Jehovah will strike you with bad sores on you knees and legs that won’t heal… from the soles of your feet to the tops of your heads. ·
Δευτ. 28:36:Jehovah will drive you and the leaders who you’ll set over yourselves away, and you’ll be sent to a nation that neither you nor your ancestors have ever known. And there you’ll serve gods made of wood and stone;
Δευτ. 28:37:and there [the all things that happened to you] will be used as amazing examples and illustrations among all the nations where Jehovah your God will send you. ·
Δευτ. 28:45:‘All of these curses will come upon you and chase you down until they’ve consumed and destroyed you if you don’t listen to the voice of your God Jehovah and keep the Commandments and rules that He has given you.
Δευτ. 28:47:if you fail to serve Jehovah your God happily and with a [cheerful] heart, because of all the many [good] things that you will have received.
Δευτ. 28:48:‘Then you must serve the enemies that Jehovah will send against you. You’ll be hungry, thirsty, naked, in need of everything, and you’ll have to wear an iron yoke on your necks until they’ve destroyed you.
Δευτ. 28:49:Jehovah will bring a nation against you from the ends of the earth; they will come like a fast-flying eagle, and you won’t understand their language.
Δευτ. 28:58:‘So, if you won’t listen to and obey all the words of the Law that have been written in this scroll and fear the glorious and wonderful Name of your God Jehovah,
Δευτ. 28:61:And Jehovah will even bring sicknesses and plagues that haven’t been written about in the scroll of this Law, until He has destroyed you.
Δευτ. 28:62:Then, although you were once as many as the stars of the sky, there won’t be many left, because you didn’t listen to the voice of your God Jehovah.
Δευτ. 28:63:‘And as Jehovah once rejoiced over you, did good things for you, and made you grow, He will then rejoice over destroying you and in quickly removing you from the land you’re going to inherit.
Δευτ. 28:64:Then Jehovah your God will scatter you among all the nations – from one end of the earth to the other – and you must serve other gods there, which are made of wood and stone, and that neither you nor your ancestors have ever heard of.
Δευτ. 28:65:‘In addition, [in the places where you will be] among those nations, He won’t give you a quiet [place to live], nor will the soles of your feet have any rest. For there Jehovah will give you weak hearts, failing eyes, and wasted lives.
Δευτ. 28:68:Then Jehovah will take you back to Egypt in ships – back to the place that He said you should never see again – where you’ll be offered for sale to your enemies as slaves… but nobody will [want to] buy you!’
Δευτ. 29:1:These are the words of the Sacred Agreement that Jehovah commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, which were added to the Sacred Agreement that He made with them at the dry place (Horeb).
Δευτ. 29:2:Moses called all the sons of Israel and said to them: ‘You have seen all the things that Jehovah did to Pharaoh, his servants, and to his entire land of Egypt.
Δευτ. 29:4:Yet down to this day, Jehovah God hasn’t given you the heart to understand, the eyes to see, or the ears to hear.
Δευτ. 29:6:And you didn’t eat bread, or drink wine or liquor, so you would know that He is Jehovah your God.
Δευτ. 29:10:‘Here you stand before Jehovah your God today… the heads of your tribes, your elders, your judges, your officers – every man of Israel –
Δευτ. 29:12:And now you’re going to enter the Sacred Agreement of your God Jehovah and swear as many oaths as Jehovah your God asks of you today,
Δευτ. 29:15:They apply to everyone who is here before Jehovah your God today, and to anyone who isn’t here with you today.
Δευτ. 29:18:So, if the heart of any man, woman, family, or tribe isn’t with Jehovah your God, then go and serve the gods of these nations, so there may be no root that is filled with gall and bitterness among you.
Δευτ. 29:20:for God won’t pardon him. Rather, Jehovah’s rage and zeal will blaze against that man and all the curses of this Sacred Agreement that are written in this scroll will come upon him, and Jehovah will blot his name out from under the sky.
Δευτ. 29:21:Jehovah will also hold the children of Israel responsible for all their evil [and bring] all the curses of the Sacred Agreement that are written in this book of Law upon them.
Δευτ. 29:22:Then future generations – your descendants who come after you and strangers who come from far away lands – will see the plagues on your land and the diseases that Jehovah has sent here.
Δευτ. 29:23:For, there will be brimstone and burning salt, and the entire land won’t be able to be cultivated, nor will anything green grow there. It will become like [the cities of] Sodom, GomorRah, Adama, and SeboIm, which Jehovah destroyed in His rage and anger.
Δευτ. 29:24:‘Then all the nations will ask, Why has Jehovah done this to His land? What made Him so fierce and angry?
Δευτ. 29:25:And others will answer, It’s because they broke the Sacred Agreement of Jehovah, the God of their ancestors. For, this is what He warned their ancestors He would do to them when He brought them out of the land of Egypt.
Δευτ. 29:27:So, Jehovah became very angry at that land and brought all the curses that are written in the scroll of this Law upon it.
Δευτ. 29:29:‘The things that are done in secret [are known by Jehovah] our God, and He reveals them. So, the responsibility of we and our children is to obey all the words of this Law through the ages.’
Δευτ. 30:1:‘And when all these things happen to you, you must recall to mind the blessings and the curses that I’ve set before you today, wherever [you may be] among all the nations where Jehovah will have scattered you.
Δευτ. 30:2:Then you must return to Jehovah your God and listen to His voice, and [obey] everything that I’m telling you today with all your hearts and souls,
Δευτ. 30:3:and Jehovah will heal you from your sins, have pity on you, and gather you back from all the nations where He scattered you.
Δευτ. 30:4:‘It won’t matter whether you’re dispersed from one end of the sky to the other; Jehovah will gather you from there and take you
Δευτ. 30:6:And Jehovah will purge your hearts and the hearts of your seed, and you must all love Jehovah your God with your whole hearts and souls, so you may live.
Δευτ. 30:7:‘Then Jehovah your God will put all these curses on your enemies and on those who hated and persecuted you,
Δευτ. 30:8:if you’ll return and listen to the voice of your God Jehovah and keep all His Commands that I’m telling you today.
Δευτ. 30:9:Then Jehovah your God will bless everything you do, the offspring of your bodies and of your cattle, and the crops in your fields. And Jehovah your God will be happy over you once again… but [this time] in a good way, as He was happy with your ancestors.
Δευτ. 30:10:[This will all happen] if you’ll just listen to the voice of your God Jehovah and keep His Commandments, rules, and decisions that are written in the scroll of this Law, and if you’ll return to Jehovah your God with all your hearts and souls.
Δευτ. 30:16:If you’ll listen to the Commandments of your God Jehovah that I’m giving you today – to love Jehovah your God, to walk in His ways, and to follow all His rules and decisions – then you’ll live and grow in numbers, and Jehovah your God will bless you throughout the land where you’re going and which you’ll inherit.
Δευτ. 30:20:Love Jehovah your God! Listen to His voice and stick to Him, for He’s your life, and [He’s] the length of the number of days that you will live in the land which Jehovah promised to your ancestors (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob) that He would give to you.’
Δευτ. 31:2:he said, ‘I’m a hundred and twenty years old today, and I won’t be able to [represent] you anymore, for Jehovah has told me that I may not cross the Jordan.
Δευτ. 31:3:So, Jehovah your God will walk before you. He will destroy the nations before you and you will inherit them. And Jehovah has said that JoShua will now lead you.
Δευτ. 31:4:‘Then Jehovah your God will do the same things to them that He did to Seon and Og, the two Amorite kings, and to their land on [this side] of the Jordan, when He destroyed them.
Δευτ. 31:5:For, Jehovah has given them to you, and you must do what I’ve told you to do, to them.
Δευτ. 31:6:So, be courageous and strong! Don’t be afraid or act like cowards, and don’t let them scare you, for Jehovah your God is marching with you and among you, and He won’t forsake you or leave you.’
Δευτ. 31:7:Then Moses called JoShua and said to Him before all Israel, ‘Be courageous and strong, for you must walk ahead of these people into the land that Jehovah swore to your ancestors that He would give them, and then you must give it to them as their inheritance.
Δευτ. 31:8:Jehovah will be going with you, and He won’t forsake you or abandon you; so don’t be afraid or have any fear.’
Δευτ. 31:9:Then Moses wrote the words of this Law in a scroll and gave it to the Priests (those sons of Levi who bear the Chest of Jehovah’s Sacred Agreement), and to the elders of the sons of Israel.
Δευτ. 31:11:when all Israel assembles before Jehovah your God in the place that Jehovah will choose, you must read this Law where all Israel can hear it.
Δευτ. 31:12:The whole assembly – the men, the women, the children, and any converts who are living in your cities – must all hear it, so that they may learn to fear Jehovah your God, and to obey all the words of this Law.
Δευτ. 31:13:Even the sons who haven’t [been born yet] must hear it and learn to fear Jehovah your God for as long as they live in the land that you’re crossing the Jordan to inherit.’
Δευτ. 31:14:Then Jehovah said to Moses: ‘Look; The day of your death has arrived! Call JoShua and go stand at the entrance to the Tent of Proofs and I will speak to him.’ So, Moses and JoShua went to the Tent of Proofs and stood at the entrance.
Δευτ. 31:15:Then Jehovah descended in a cloud and stood next to the entrance in a column of clouds.
Δευτ. 31:16:And Jehovah said to Moses, ‘{Look!} [It’s time] for you to sleep with your ancestors. But, from among these people [some] will arise who will commit adultery with the strange gods of the land they’re entering. They will leave Me and break the Sacred Agreement that I made with them.
Δευτ. 31:17:And when that happens, I will be very angry with them and I’ll leave them… I’ll turn My face away from them and they will be devoured. But after many bad things and plagues have come upon them, they will [finally] say, These bad things have happened to us because Jehovah our God isn’t with us.
Δευτ. 31:23:Then he spoke to JoShua and said, ‘Be courageous and strong, because you’re now going to lead the sons of Israel into the land that Jehovah promised them, and He’ll be with you.’
Δευτ. 31:25:Then he gave these instructions to the Levites who bear the Chest of the Sacred Agreement of Jehovah, saying
Δευτ. 31:26:‘Take this scroll of the Law and put it inside the Chest of the Sacred Agreement of your God Jehovah, so it will [always] be there among you as proof.
Δευτ. 31:29:For, I know that after my death you’ll become very sinful and turn from the ways that I’ve commanded you. Then bad things will eventually happen to you because of making Jehovah God angry by all the evil things that you’ll do.’ Then Moses spoke the words of this song, [and taught it] to the whole gathering:
Δευτ. 32:4:His works are true and all His ways just. Yes God is faithful… He isn’t unrighteous, For Jehovah is holy and just.
Δευτ. 32:6:Is this how you pay back Jehovah? ‘Are these people all foolish and stupid? Didn’t He become your own Father, Didn’t He purchase you back? Didn’t He form you and make you?
Δευτ. 32:9:‘His people (Jacob) was the portion of Jehovah; Israel was His own inheritance.
Δευτ. 32:12:‘It was Jehovah alone who led them, When no other gods did they have.
Δευτ. 32:19:‘When Jehovah saw this He was zealous; He was enraged by His sons and His daughters.
Δευτ. 32:27:‘Were it not for their enemies’ rage, They would have lived a long time. But their enemies have combined to attack them. And yet, may their enemies not say, It was by my own mighty arm. For, Jehovah has done all these things.
Δευτ. 32:30:‘O how can one man chase a thousand, Or two men route tens of thousands, If it weren’t God who had sold them, And if Jehovah hadn’t handed them over?
Δευτ. 32:36:‘For, Jehovah will judge all His people; He’ll take comfort [in the fall of] His servants. For, He saw they were weak and had failed, So, in a hostile invasion they’ll become feeble.
Δευτ. 32:37:‘Then Jehovah asked: Where are those gods that they trusted?
Δευτ. 32:48:Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and said,
Δευτ. 33:2:He said: ‘Jehovah came from Mount Sinai; He appeared to us at Mount Seir; He quickly moved to Mount Pharan, With ten thousand Holy Ones at His right hand, And [all] His messengers were with him.
Δευτ. 33:7:And this is the blessing of Judah: ‘O Jehovah; listen to the voice of Judah, And pay attention to [all of] his people. Although he will fight with his hands, With his enemies, You give him help.’
Δευτ. 33:11:‘O Jehovah; Please bless his strength, And accept the things that he offers. Break all the enemies that come against him, And don’t allow those who hate him to stand.’
Δευτ. 33:12:And to BenJamin he said: ‘Jehovah’s loved one will live in safety. For, God’s shadow will always be with him, And between [God’s] shoulders he will rest.’
Δευτ. 33:13:And to Joseph he said: ‘His land is the blessing of Jehovah… Of seasons, sky, dew, and deep wells…
Δευτ. 33:21:‘He’ll see that his is the first fruitage of the land, Where leaders will gather with the chiefs of the people. For, [he does what Jehovah proclaims to be] righteous, And to Israel he will bring justice.’
Δευτ. 33:29:‘You’re blest, O Israel, for who else is like you… You who’ve been saved by Jehovah your helper. ‘He’ll hold His shield over you, And you will boast of His sword. Then you will walk on the necks, Of the enemies who dared to lie before you.’
Δευτ. 34:1:Finally, Moses went from ArabOth in Moab, to the Nabau Mountains, and climbed to the top of Mount Pisgah (near Jericho). And there Jehovah showed him Mount Gilead [in the land] of Dan, the land of NaphTali,
Δευτ. 34:4:Then Jehovah said to Moses, ‘This is the land that I swore that I would give to the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And now that you’ve seen it, you may not go there.’
Δευτ. 34:5:Then Moses, the servant of Jehovah, died there in the land of Moab, as Jehovah said.
Δευτ. 34:9:Then JoShua (the son of NaWeh) became filled with the spirit of knowledge, for Moses had laid his hands upon him. So, the children of Israel listened to him as they did when Jehovah was commanding Moses.
Δευτ. 34:10:But there was never again a Prophet in Israel like Moses, who Jehovah knew face to face;
Δευτ. 34:11:who Jehovah sent to perform all the signs and wonders to Egypt – to Pharaoh, his servants, and his entire land –
Ιησ. 1:9:Look; I’m commanding you to be strong and courageous! Don’t be a coward or fearful, for Jehovah your God will be with you no matter where you may go.’
Ιησ. 1:11:‘Go throughout the camp and tell the people to prepare their provisions; for in three days we will cross the Jordan to enter and take possession of the land that Jehovah the God of your ancestors is giving you.’
Ιησ. 1:13:‘Remember what Moses, the servant of Jehovah, told you. He said, Jehovah your God has allowed you to rest by giving you this land.
Ιησ. 1:15:[You must do this] until Jehovah your God has allowed your brothers to rest as He has [allowed] you [to rest], when they have inherited the land that Jehovah your God is giving them. Then you may each return to the inheritance that Moses gave you east of the Jordan.
Ιησ. 1:17:And just as we listened to Moses, we will listen to you… but may Jehovah our God be with you as He was with Moses.
Ιησ. 2:9:and said, ‘I know that Jehovah has given you this land, for we’re all afraid [of you].
Ιησ. 2:10:We’ve heard how your God Jehovah dried up the Red Sea before you when you left the land of Egypt, and of the things He did to the two Amorite kings across the Jordan… to Seon and Og whom you destroyed.
Ιησ. 2:11:And when we heard this, our hearts were stunned and we were barely able to breathe because of you, for Jehovah your God is truly the God of the heavens above and the earth below.
Ιησ. 2:12:So now; Swear to me by Jehovah God, that since I’ve been merciful with you, you’ll be merciful to the house of my father,
Ιησ. 2:14:And the men replied, ‘[We will offer] our lives for yours, even to death.’ And she said, ‘When Jehovah gives this city to you, you must be merciful and true to me!’
Ιησ. 2:24:And they said, ‘Jehovah has put the entire land under our power, because everyone who lives there is shaking because of us.’
Ιησ. 3:3:telling the people that; when they saw the Levite Priests bearing Jehovah God’s Chest of the Sacred Agreement, they should follow along,
Ιησ. 3:5:Then JoShua told the people: ‘Make yourselves holy, because tomorrow Jehovah will perform a miracle among you.’
Ιησ. 3:6:And JoShua said to the Priests: ‘Now, pick up Jehovah’s Chest of the Sacred Agreement and lead the people!’ So the Priests picked it up and walked ahead of the people.
Ιησ. 3:7:Then Jehovah said to JoShua: ‘Today I’m going to start [raising your prestige] before all the children of Israel, so they will know that I’m with you just as I was with Moses.
Ιησ. 3:9:Then JoShua told the children of Israel: ‘Come here and listen to the words of our God Jehovah.
Ιησ. 3:14:So the people packed up their tents to cross over the Jordan, and the Priests carried the Chest of Jehovah’s Sacred Agreement ahead of them.
Ιησ. 4:1:Well, after everyone had crossed the Jordan, Jehovah spoke to JoShua and said,
Ιησ. 4:5:and told them: ‘Now walk in front of me and in the presence of Jehovah to the middle of the Jordan. Then each of you pick up a rock from there and carry it on your shoulders, one [rock] for each of the twelve tribes of Israel,
Ιησ. 4:8:And that’s what the children of Israel did… just as Jehovah commanded JoShua, they picked up twelve rocks from the midst of the Jordan (after the children of Israel had finished the crossing) and carried them into their camp and laid them there.
Ιησ. 4:9:Then JoShua placed twelve rocks [on the bottom] of the Jordan itself, at the place where the feet of the Priests who carried the Chest of the Sacred Agreement of Jehovah stood, and they are still there to this day.
Ιησ. 4:10:Well, the Priests who were carrying the Chest of the Sacred Agreement kept standing there in the Jordan until JoShua had finished all that Jehovah had commanded him to do, and until everyone had crossed.
Ιησ. 4:11:Then, after all the people had had crossed; they carried Jehovah’s Chest of the Sacred Agreement and the rocks [to the other side].
Ιησ. 4:13:forty thousand armed men crossed before Jehovah to war with the city of Jericho.
Ιησ. 4:14:So on that day, Jehovah raised JoShua’s prestige [in the eyes of] all the people of Israel, and they started fearing him as they did Moses.
Ιησ. 4:15:Then Jehovah spoke to JoShua and said:
Ιησ. 4:23:back when our God Jehovah dried up the Jordan’s waters before them until they had all crossed, the same as He did at the Red Sea when He dried up its water until we had all crossed.
Ιησ. 4:24:[They are here] so that all the nations of the earth might know that Jehovah is powerful and mighty, and so that you will worship Jehovah our God in everything you do.’
Ιησ. 5:1:And when the kings of the Amorites (on the [west] side of the Jordan) and the kings of Phoenicia heard that Jehovah God had dried up the Jordan River in front of the children of Israel as they crossed it, their hearts dropped, they were terrified, and they were beside themselves because of the children of Israel.
Ιησ. 5:2:It was about this time that Jehovah said to JoShua, ‘Make some knives of sharp stones, then sit down and circumcise the children of Israel again.’
Ιησ. 5:9:Then Jehovah said to JoShua (the son of NaWeh), ‘On this day I have removed the shame of Egypt from you.’ So He named that place GilGal (the Wheel).
Ιησ. 5:14:And he replied, ‘I have come as the general of the army of Jehovah!’
Ιησ. 5:16:And the captain of Jehovah’s army said to JoShua: ‘Take off your shoes, because the place where you are standing is holy!’
Ιησ. 6:7:‘Give sacred trumpets to seven Priests, and have them blow [the trumpets] loudly as they walk before Jehovah… and they must be followed by the Chest of the Sacred Agreement of Jehovah.
Ιησ. 6:8:‘Then tell the people to walk in a circle around the city with the men all armed and ready for war before Jehovah.
Ιησ. 6:9:The army is to walk ahead of the Priests, who must keep blowing the trumpets, and they are to be followed by the Chest of the Sacred Agreement of Jehovah.’
Ιησ. 6:12:Then the next day, JoShua got up in the morning and the Priests picked up the Chest of the Sacred Agreement of Jehovah.
Ιησ. 6:13:And the seven Priests who had the seven trumpets walked before Jehovah, followed by the men of war, the rest of the group, and then the Chest of the Sacred Agreement of Jehovah, as the Priests blew the trumpets.
Ιησ. 6:16:And on the seventh round, the Priests blew their trumpets, and JoShua told the children of Israel: ‘Now shout, for Jehovah has given you the city!
Ιησ. 6:17:You must dedicate it and everything that is in it to Jehovah of Armies, except for the prostitute RaHab and the things in her house.
Ιησ. 6:19:For all the gold, silver, brass, and iron is holy to Jehovah, so it must be carried to the treasury of Jehovah!’
Ιησ. 6:24:Then the city was burned, along with everything in it, except for the gold, silver, brass, and iron, which they carried into the treasury of Jehovah.
Ιησ. 6:26:And that day, JoShua made everyone swear before Jehovah that any man who rebuilds that city will be cursed… the one who lays its foundation will lose his firstborn, and the one who rebuilds it gates will lose his youngest son. And that’s what Hozan of BethEl did; he laid the foundation [with the body of] AbiRom his firstborn, and set up its gates [with the body of] his youngest surviving son.
Ιησ. 6:27:Well, Jehovah was with JoShua, so His Name became [known] throughout the land.
Ιησ. 7:1:However, the children of Israel committed a serious sin by taking some of the things that were cursed. It was Achar (the son of Charmi, the son of Zambri and grandson of Zara) of the tribe of Judah who took the cursed things, which made Jehovah very angry with the children of Israel.
Ιησ. 7:6:Well, at this, JoShua started ripping his clothes; then he and the elders of Israel threw dust on their heads and fell with their faces to the ground before Jehovah [and lay there] until evening.
Ιησ. 7:13:‘So now, get up and make the people holy. Tell them to make themselves holy, and then say, Jehovah the God of Israel says that you have cursed things among you, and you won’t be able to stand before your enemies until you’ve removed these cursed things.
Ιησ. 7:14:So, all the tribes must gather tomorrow morning, then Jehovah will indicate to us, which tribe, which family line, which household, and which man [is guilty].
Ιησ. 7:15:And whoever He points to will be burned with fire for breaking the Sacred Agreement of Jehovah and making all Israel [appear] wicked.’
Ιησ. 7:19:So JoShua said to Achar, ‘Give glory to Jehovah the God of Israel today and confess. Tell me what you’ve done… and don’t [try to] hide it from me!’
Ιησ. 7:20:Then Achar answered JoShua and said, ‘Yes, I’ve sinned against Jehovah the God of Israel, and this is what I did:
Ιησ. 7:23:Then they brought them to JoShua and the elders of Israel and laid them before Jehovah.
Ιησ. 7:25:And JoShua said to Achar, ‘You’ve destroyed us, so today Jehovah is going to destroy you!’ Then all Israel stoned him with rocks.
Ιησ. 7:26:And it was after they covered him with a huge pile of rocks that Jehovah’s rage ended. This is why that place is called The Valley of Achar (the Troublemaker) to this day.
Ιησ. 8:1:Then Jehovah said to JoShua, ‘Don’t be afraid or tremble, but now you must take all the men of war and return to Gai. For look; I’ve given the king of Gai and his land into your hands!
Ιησ. 8:18:Then Jehovah said to JoShua, ‘Now, raise the spear that’s in your hand toward the city, for I’ve given it into your hands. And those who are hiding must quickly get up and enter [the city].’
Ιησ. 8:27:Then (other than the things that were in the city) the children of Israel took all the rest as loot for themselves, following the command that Jehovah gave JoShua.
Ιησ. 8:30:Then JoShua built an altar to Jehovah (the God of Israel) on Mount Ebal,
Ιησ. 8:31:just as Moses (Jehovah’s servant) had commanded the children of Israel, and as it is written in the Law of Moses. It was an altar made of stones that hadn’t been cut or touched by iron. And there he sacrificed whole burnt offerings and a peace offering to Jehovah.
Ιησ. 8:33:Thereafter, all Israel (including their elders, judges, and scribes) filed past the Chest on either side. Then the Levite Priests carried the Chest of the Sacred Agreement of Jehovah, as the aliens and the natives were divided into two groups. One half was stationed near Mount GiriZim, and the other half near Mount Ebal, just as Moses (Jehovah’s servant) had commanded, to receive the first blessing of the people.
Ιησ. 9:3:However, when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Jehovah did to Jericho and Gai,
Ιησ. 9:9:And they replied, ‘Your servants have come from a far away country in the Name of Jehovah your God. For we have heard of His Name and of all that He did in Egypt,
Ιησ. 9:14:So the leaders [of Israel] shared their provisions with them, and then they failed to ask Jehovah’s direction.
Ιησ. 9:18:but they didn’t fight against them, because all the leaders had sworn an oath before Jehovah the God of Israel. And this caused the whole gathering to start grumbling against their leaders.
Ιησ. 9:19:However, the leaders spoke to the gathering and said, ‘We have sworn [an oath] to them by Jehovah the God of Israel, so now we can’t touch them!
Ιησ. 9:24:And they replied to JoShua, ‘We were told that Jehovah your God ordered his servant Moses to [take] this land and to destroy us, and all who live here. And it was because we feared for our lives that we did this thing!
Ιησ. 9:27:Then JoShua made them woodcutters and water bearers to the whole gathering and for the Altar of God; so the inhabitants of Gibeon will serve as our woodcutters and water bearers for the Altar of God, even in that [future] place that will be chosen by Jehovah.
Ιησ. 10:8:And Jehovah said to JoShua, ‘Don’t be afraid, for I’m giving them into your hands. There won’t be any of them left to stand before you!’
Ιησ. 10:10:Then Jehovah struck them with terror before the children of Israel… he destroyed them with a great slaughter there at Gibeon, and chased them all the way to the road to Oronin, and to Azeca and Makeda.
Ιησ. 10:11:And as they were fleeing the children of Israel at the descent from Oronin, Jehovah threw hailstones from the sky at them all the way to Azeca, and more died from the hailstones than were killed in battle by the children of Israel.
Ιησ. 10:12:Then JoShua spoke to Jehovah that day, as He was giving the Amorites into the [hands] of Israel. While they were destroying [their enemies] at Gibeon, JoShua said, ‘May the sun stand still over Gibeon and may the moon [stand still] over the valley of AiLon!’
Ιησ. 10:19:But don’t just stop there; keep chasing your enemies and attacking them from the rear. Don’t allow them to enter their cities, for Jehovah our God has given them into our hands!’
Ιησ. 10:25:and JoShua said, ‘Now, don’t be afraid or act cowardly… be courageous and strong! For this is what Jehovah will do to all the enemies who you will fight against.’
Ιησ. 10:30:and Jehovah gave it into their hands. They captured it and its king, and they killed the inhabitants with swords… they killed everything that breathed there, and no one survived or escaped. Then they also did to its king as they had done to the king of Jericho.
Ιησ. 10:32:And Jehovah handed LachIsh over to Israel, capturing it on the second day, and then they put all the inhabitants to death with swords and destroyed [the city], as they had done to Lebna.
Ιησ. 10:35:Jehovah gave it into the hands of Israel on that same day, and they killed the inhabitants and every breathing thing there with swords, as they had done at LachIsh.
Ιησ. 10:40:Then JoShua attacked all the hill country, the Negev, the plain country, AsedOth, and all their kings… they didn’t spare any of them. They destroyed everything that had the breath of life, just as Jehovah the God of Israel had commanded,
Ιησ. 10:42:JoShua struck down all their kings once and for all and [captured] their land, because Jehovah the God of Israel was fighting on their side.
Ιησ. 11:6:Then Jehovah said to JoShua, ‘Don’t be afraid of them, for tomorrow at this same time I will make them retreat before Israel. Then you must hamstring their horses and burn their chariots.’
Ιησ. 11:8:and Jehovah gave them into Israel’s hands. They struck them down and chased them all the way to Sidon, MasEron, and eastward to the plains of MasSoch… they kept destroying until there no one was left.
Ιησ. 11:9:Then JoShua did as Jehovah commanded; he hamstrung the horses and burned their chariots in a fire.
Ιησ. 11:12:Thereafter, JoShua conquered all the cities that belonged to those kings, and killed everyone with swords. He left no survivors, just as Moses (the servant of Jehovah) had commanded.
Ιησ. 11:15:For, this is what Jehovah had commanded His servant Moses to do, and it’s what Moses commanded JoShua to do, so JoShua did everything that Moses commanded.
Ιησ. 11:20:For Jehovah hardened all the hearts [of the people in those cities] when they went to war against Israel, so that they might be destroyed without mercy, just as Jehovah told Moses.
Ιησ. 11:23:Thereafter, JoShua took all their land, just as Jehovah had commanded Moses, and [divided] it among Israel by their tribes as their inheritance. And then the war ended.
Ιησ. 12:6:They were the ones who Moses (the servant of Jehovah) and the children of Israel struck down, and whose [land] Moses gave as an inheritance to Ruben, Gad, and the half tribe of ManasSeh.
Ιησ. 13:1:By then, JoShua had grown very old, so Jehovah said to him, ‘You’re getting very old and there’s still a lot of land to [divide as] inheritances,
Ιησ. 13:8:Its boundaries run from the Jordan westward to the [Mediterranean] Sea.’ Now, Moses (the servant of Jehovah) had already given the two tribes of Ruben, Gad, and the half tribe of ManasSeh their inheritance in the east, across the Jordan,
Ιησ. 13:14:However, no inheritance was given to the tribe of Levi, for Jehovah the God of Israel is their inheritance, as He told them. Here is how Moses divided the land among the children of Israel at ArabOth Moab on the other side of the Jordan near Jericho:
Ιησ. 14:2:The nine-and-a-half tribes received their inheritances in a lottery, just as Jehovah commanded JoShua,
Ιησ. 14:5:So the children of Israel did just as Jehovah commanded Moses, and they divided up the land.
Ιησ. 14:6:Then (one of) the sons of Judah (Caleb, the son of JePhoNe the Kenite) went to JoShua at GilGal and said to him: ‘You know what Jehovah said to Moses (the man of God) about me at Cades Barne.
Ιησ. 14:8:However, although my brothers who went with me preferred to listen to the people, I kept following my God Jehovah.
Ιησ. 14:9:So Moses swore on that day, saying, The land where you went will become the inheritance of you and your children through the ages, because you made sure that you followed our God Jehovah.
Ιησ. 14:10:‘So Jehovah has kept me alive until now, and this is the forty-fifth year since [the time when Jehovah] said that to Moses, and [during which] Israel [lived] in the desert. And today {Look!} I’m eighty-five years old,
Ιησ. 14:11:yet I’m still as strong as when Jehovah sent me; in fact, I’m still strong enough to fight as a soldier!
Ιησ. 14:12:And now I ask of you for this mountain [to fulfill Jehovah’s promise], which you heard that day. And although the Enakim are here in large fortified cities; if Jehovah is with me, I’ll destroy them just as Jehovah has instructed me.’
Ιησ. 14:14:And since then, Hebron has been the inheritance of Caleb, because he followed the commandments of Jehovah, the God of Israel.
Ιησ. 17:4:So they went before JoShua, EliEzer the Priest, and the rulers and said, ‘God commanded Moses to give us an inheritance in the midst of our family.’ So at the command of Jehovah, they were given an inheritance among their uncles.
Ιησ. 18:3:Then JoShua said to the sons of Israel, ‘How much longer are you going to hold back from inheriting the land that Jehovah our God has given you?
Ιησ. 18:6:But, now you must divide the [rest of] land into seven parts, and then bring the descriptions here to me and I will parcel them out in a lottery before Jehovah our God.
Ιησ. 18:7:However, the sons of Levi won’t receive a share among you, for the Priesthood of Jehovah is their portion. Also, Gad, Ruben, and the half tribe of ManasSeh have already received their inheritance east of the Jordan, which was given to them by Moses, the servant of Jehovah.’
Ιησ. 18:8:Then, as the men got up to leave, JoShua gave these orders to those who were to explore the land: ‘Go and explore the land, then come to me and I will divide it in a lottery here before Jehovah in Shiloh.’
Ιησ. 18:10:And JoShua threw lots for them before Jehovah there at Shiloh.
Ιησ. 19:51:These are the divisions that EliEzer the Priest, JoShua (the son of NaWeh), and the family heads of the tribes of Israel assigned in a lottery before Jehovah at Shiloh, at the entrance to the Tent of Proofs. And thereafter, they each went out to take possession of their lands.
Ιησ. 20:1:Then Jehovah spoke to JoShua and said,
Ιησ. 21:2:at Shiloh in the land of CanaAn, and said, ‘[Remember that Jehovah] gave the commandment through Moses that we should be given cities to live in, along with their surrounding countrysides (for our cattle).’
Ιησ. 21:3:So, following the commands of Jehovah, the children of Israel gave the Levites cities and their surrounding countryside as their inheritance.
Ιησ. 21:8:The children of Israel also gave the Levites the land around their cities, as Jehovah had commanded Moses, which were divided in a lottery.
Ιησ. 21:40:and all their surrounding land and suburbs. Then JoShua stopped dividing the land and setting their borders, and the children of Israel gave JoShua his portion, because this is what Jehovah had commanded them. They gave him the city that he asked for, ThamnaSarach in the hills of EphraIm. Then JoShua built the city and lived there. Thereafter, JoShua took stone knives and circumcised the children of Israel who were born along the way in the desert, and had [them recuperate] at ThamnaSarach.
Ιησ. 21:41:So Jehovah gave Israel all the land that He had promised to their ancestors; so they inherited it and lived there.
Ιησ. 21:43:And all the good things that Jehovah promised the children of Israel happened.
Ιησ. 22:2:and said to them, ‘You’ve heard all that Moses (the servant of Jehovah) commanded you, and you’ve paid attention to everything I said to you about his instructions.
Ιησ. 22:3:You haven’t deserted your brothers during all this time and you’ve followed the commandments of your God Jehovah.
Ιησ. 22:4:So, now that our God Jehovah has given our brothers [a place] where they can rest (as He promised), you can go back to your land and your homes that Moses gave you on the other side the Jordan.
Ιησ. 22:5:However, be careful to obey the Commandments and the Law that Moses (the servant of Jehovah) gave you… love Jehovah our God, walk in all His paths, keep His commandments, stick with Him, and serve Him with your whole mind and life.’
Ιησ. 22:9:So, the sons of Ruben, Gad, and the half tribe of ManasSeh left the children of Israel in Shiloh (in the land of CanaAn) and headed toward Gilead and the land they inherited at the command of Jehovah through Moses.
Ιησ. 22:16:‘This is what the whole gathering of Jehovah wants to know: What is this sin that you’ve committed before the God of Israel by building yourselves an altar? Did you do this so you can turn away from Him?
Ιησ. 22:17:Was the sin at Phogor – from which we have yet to be cleansed – that insignificant to you, despite the fact that it brought a plague among the entire gathering of Jehovah?
Ιησ. 22:18:And now you’ve revolted against Jehovah, so tomorrow you will know the wrath of all Israel!
Ιησ. 22:19:‘Why, if your land is too small for you, cross over [the Jordan] into the land that Jehovah [gave us] and where the Tent of Jehovah stays and receive an inheritance among us. Don’t turn away from God by building an altar apart from the Altar of Jehovah!
Ιησ. 22:22:‘God – our God – is Jehovah. And God Himself knows, and Israel knows, that if we have broken away from Jehovah and turned aside, He won’t save us today.
Ιησ. 22:23:But we didn’t build ourselves an altar to turn away from Him or to sacrifice whole burnt offerings or peace offerings on it (those things that Jehovah requires).
Ιησ. 22:24:Rather, we have done this as precaution. We did it for fear that in the future, your sons might ask our sons what they have to do with Jehovah, the God of Israel.
Ιησ. 22:25:‘Now that Jehovah has set a boundary between you and us (the Jordan), we don’t want your sons to alienate our sons and keep them from worshiping Jehovah.
Ιησ. 22:27:but as a witness between you and us and between our children, that we do serve Jehovah, and that we will sacrifice our burnt offerings, meat offerings, and peace offerings to Him. Then your sons won’t be able to say to our sons that we don’t [belong to] Jehovah.
Ιησ. 22:28:‘Therefore, to prevent them from ever saying such a thing to us or our descendants, [we want them to] see our representation of the altar of Jehovah. It wasn’t built for the sake of burnt offerings or meat offerings, but as a witness between you and us and between our sons.
Ιησ. 22:29:Far be it from us to turn away from Jehovah today or to turn away from Him and build an altar for burnt offerings or peace offerings separate from the Altar of Jehovah that stands before His Tent.’
Ιησ. 22:31:Then Phineas the Priest said, ‘Today we know that Jehovah is with us, because you aren’t guilty of a serious sin against Jehovah and you have saved the children of Israel from the hand of Jehovah.’
Ιησ. 22:34:Thereafter, JoShua named the altar of the children of Ruben, Gad, and the half tribe of ManasSeh, and said, ‘It is their testimony that Jehovah is their God.’
Ιησ. 23:1:Jehovah had allowed Israel to rest from all their enemies [who lived] around them for a considerable time, until JoShua was old and up in years.
Ιησ. 23:3:and you’ve seen all that Jehovah our God has done to these nations around us and how your God fought for you.
Ιησ. 23:5:and Jehovah our God will destroy them before us until they’re all gone. For, He will send wild animals against them until He has destroyed them and their kings, then you will inherit their land, just as Jehovah our God has promised.
Ιησ. 23:8:Rather, you must stick to Jehovah our God, just as you have been doing until now.
Ιησ. 23:9:Then Jehovah will destroy them – even the great and strong nations – from among you, for no one has been able to stand against us so far.
Ιησ. 23:10:Why, each one among you has been able to chase a thousand, for Jehovah our God fought for you as He had promised.
Ιησ. 23:11:So, be sure to love Jehovah our God.
Ιησ. 23:13:realize that Jehovah won’t destroy them. Rather, they will become snares and stumbling blocks – nails in your heels, and darts in your eyes – until they’ve wiped you out of this good land that Jehovah your God has given you.
Ιησ. 23:14:‘And now, I’m getting ready to die, as does everyone else on this earth. But know in your hearts and souls that not a single word has failed of all the things that Jehovah our God has [promised] about us.
Ιησ. 23:15:And after all the good things that Jehovah God will bring upon you are done, remember that He will also do bad things until He wipes you out of this good land that He has given you,
Ιησ. 23:16:if you break the Sacred Agreement of Jehovah our God and go and serve other gods and bow before them.’
Ιησ. 24:2:And JoShua spoke to all the people and said, ‘This is what Jehovah the God of Israel said: Your ancestors (such as Tara, the father of Abraham and Nahor) once stayed beyond the river and served other gods.
Ιησ. 24:7:Then, when they called out to Jehovah, I put a cloud and darkness between [them and] the Egyptians, and brought the Sea down upon [the Egyptians] and covered them. ‘Why, your eyes have seen all that Jehovah did in the land of Egypt, and of how you spent a long time in the desert.
Ιησ. 24:8:And now He has brought us into the land of the Amorites who lived across the Jordan, and Jehovah has given them into our hands… you have inherited their land and destroyed them!
Ιησ. 24:10:Yet, Jehovah your God wouldn’t destroy you; He blessed us and saved us from their hands, then He handed them over to us.
Ιησ. 24:11:‘Thereafter, you crossed the Jordan and came to Jericho, where the people of Jericho fought against us – as did the Amorites, CanaAnites, Pherezites, Evites, Jebusites, Hittites, and the Gergesites – and Jehovah gave them all into our hands.
Ιησ. 24:14:So, fear Jehovah and serve Him righteously and justly… get rid of all the strange gods that our ancestors served across the river and in Egypt, and serve Jehovah!
Ιησ. 24:15:‘However, if you don’t wish to serve Jehovah, then choose who you will serve today… whether it’s the gods of your ancestors that were on the other side of the river, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you’re now living. But as for me and my household, we will serve Jehovah, because He alone is holy!’
Ιησ. 24:16:And the people answered, ‘We won’t leave Jehovah and serve other gods.
Ιησ. 24:17:Why, our God Jehovah is God! For, it was He who brought our ancestors and us out of Egypt, and who protected us all along the way that we walked, and from all the nations that we passed.
Ιησ. 24:18:And it was Jehovah who threw out the Amorites and all the other nations that lived in this land. Yes, we will serve Jehovah, for He is our God!’
Ιησ. 24:19:Then JoShua said to the people, ‘You won’t really be able to serve Jehovah, because He is holy. And because He’s zealous, He won’t forgive your sins and your errors.
Ιησ. 24:20:So when you leave Jehovah to serve other gods, He will come against you, oppress you, and consume you, because He has done good things for you.’
Ιησ. 24:21:Then the people replied, ‘No! We will serve Jehovah!’
Ιησ. 24:22:And JoShua said, ‘Then you are witnesses against yourselves that you’ve chosen to serve Jehovah.
Ιησ. 24:23:So now, get rid of all the strange gods that you have, and set your hearts right with Jehovah, the God of Israel.’
Ιησ. 24:24:And the people replied, ‘We will serve Jehovah and listen to His voice!’
Ιησ. 24:26:And then he wrote those words in the book of the Laws of God. And JoShua took a large block of stone and erected it under the oak tree before Jehovah.
Ιησ. 24:27:Then he told the people, ‘Look, this stone will serve as a witness among you, for it has heard all the words that you’ve said before Jehovah. And because He has spoken to you today, this stone will serve as a witness against you in the last days when you deal treacherously with my God Jehovah.’
Ιησ. 24:29:Thereafter, JoShua (the son of NaWeh), the servant of Jehovah, died at the age of a hundred and ten,
Ιησ. 24:30:and they buried him in the land that he had inherited in Thamna Sarach, in the hills of EphraIm north of Mount Gilead. They put his [body] in a tomb, along with the stone knives that he had used to circumcise the children of Israel at GilGal, after Jehovah brought them out of Egypt… and they are still there today.
Ιησ. 24:31:Well, Israel served Jehovah for as long as JoShua and the elders of JoShua’s era (who knew all that Jehovah had done for Israel) were still alive.
Ιησ. 24:33:Shortly thereafter, EliEzer (Aaron’s son) the High Priest also died and was buried in GabaA in the hills of EphraIm (which had been given to his son Phineas). And on that day, the children of Israel took the Chest of God and carried it among the people. Then Phineas was appointed as [High] Priest in place of his father EliEzer (after his death and burial at GabaA). Thereafter, the children of Israel each left and returned to their own cities and homes, and they started worshiping Astarte, AstarOth, and the gods of the nations around them. So, Jehovah handed them over to Eglom, the king of Moab, who ruled over them for the next eighteen years.
Κρ. 1:1:After the death of JoShua, the children of Israel asked Jehovah, ‘Who will lead us in battle against the CanaAnites now?’
Κρ. 1:2:And Jehovah replied, ‘The Judeans must take the lead, for I have delivered this land into their hands.’
Κρ. 1:4:and Jehovah delivered the CanaAnites and Pherezites into their hands. It was at Bezek that they cut down ten thousand men.
Κρ. 1:19:But Jehovah was with the Judeans, and they inherited all the hill country; yet they weren’t able to destroy the inhabitants in the valley, because the Rechabites kept them from doing so.
Κρ. 1:22:The sons of Joseph went up against BethEl and Jehovah was with them.
Κρ. 2:1:Well, a messenger of Jehovah had traveled from GilGal to The Place of Tears at BethEl, to address the house of Israel. And he told them, ‘This is what Jehovah has said: I brought you out of Egypt and into the land that I promised to your ancestors. And I said that I would never break the Agreement that I made with you.
Κρ. 2:4:Well, after the messenger of Jehovah said all of this to the children of Israel, the people started shouting and crying,
Κρ. 2:5:and that’s why they named it The Place of Tears. Then they offered sacrifices to Jehovah there,
Κρ. 2:7:So, the people served Jehovah [faithfully] for as long as JoShua and all the elders (who knew of the great things that Jehovah had done in Israel) were still alive.
Κρ. 2:8:But then JoShua (the son of NaWeh), the servant of Jehovah, died at a hundred and ten years old,
Κρ. 2:10:And then the rest of that generation was laid to rest with their ancestors, and another generation came along that didn’t know Jehovah or of the things that He had done in Israel.
Κρ. 2:11:So the children of Israel started doing evil things before Jehovah, and they started serving Baal Im.
Κρ. 2:12:They left Jehovah (the God of their ancestors) who had brought them out of the land of Egypt, and started following and worshiping other gods – the gods of the nations roundabout them –
Κρ. 2:13:and this made Jehovah very angry… they left Him and started serving Baal and the stars!
Κρ. 2:14:And because Jehovah was very angry at Israel, He handed them over to looters who plundered them… He sold them into the hands of their enemies [who lived] around them and they were no longer able to stand against their enemies,
Κρ. 2:15:for the hand of Jehovah was against them. He caused bad things to happen, as He promised, and they [underwent some very hard times].
Κρ. 2:16:Then Jehovah appointed Judges to save them from the hands of those who were looting them, but they wouldn’t even listen to the Judges.
Κρ. 2:17:They just continued in their immoral relations with other gods by worshiping them, and they quickly turned from the way that their ancestors had walked, refusing to listen to the words of Jehovah.
Κρ. 2:18:Now, because Jehovah had appointed their Judges, He blest the Judges and continued to save [Israel] from the hands of their enemies during the entire period of the Judges, for Jehovah was moved by all their groaning about those who were attacking and looting them.
Κρ. 2:20:which made Jehovah very angry with Israel. So He told them: ‘Because this nation has broken the Sacred Agreement that I made with their ancestors and refused to listen to My voice,
Κρ. 2:23:So, Jehovah just left those nations (that JoShua didn’t conquer) alone, and He didn’t drive them away.
Κρ. 3:1:These are the nations that Jehovah left [in the land] to test those in Israel (those who didn’t know about the wars in CanaAn,
Κρ. 3:7:[Of course], this was evil in the eyes of Jehovah, for they had forgotten Jehovah their God and were serving Baal Im and the sacred poles.
Κρ. 3:8:As the result, Jehovah was very angry at Israel and He sold them into the hand of Chusar Sathaim, the king of Syrian-MesoPotamia, and the children of Israel served him for eight years.
Κρ. 3:9:It was then that the children of Israel started calling to Jehovah; so Jehovah appointed a savior for Israel who delivered them… GothoniEl (the son of Kenez), the younger brother of Caleb.
Κρ. 3:10:Jehovah poured out His Breath upon him, and he served as Israel’s Judge. And when he went to war against Chusar Sathaim, Jehovah gave the king of Syrian-MesoPotamia into his hands, and he was conquered.
Κρ. 3:12:However, the children of Israel kept doing evil things before Jehovah, so because of their evil ways, He allowed Eglom (the king of Moab) to grow stronger, and then come against Israel.
Κρ. 3:15:And again the children of Israel called to Jehovah and He provided them a savior, Aod (the son of Gera and grandson of JeMeni), who was just as strong with his left hand as he was with his right. And when the children of Israel sent him to carry gifts to Eglom,
Κρ. 3:28:and said, ‘Now follow me, for Jehovah God has given our enemies the Moabites into our hands.’ So they followed him and they captured the fords that cross the Jordan near the land of Moab, and they wouldn’t allow anyone to cross.
Κρ. 3:31:After him, Jehovah appointed SamEgar (the son of Dinach). He’s the one who cut down six hundred Philistines with an ox plough. And he too delivered Israel.
Κρ. 4:1:And again, after Aod died, the children of Israel went back to doing evil things against Jehovah.
Κρ. 4:2:So Jehovah sold them into the hands of JaBin (the king of CanaAn) who ruled from Asor. The leader of his army was SiSara, and he lived in ArisOth-of-the-Gentiles.
Κρ. 4:3:Then the children of Israel started calling to [Jehovah again], because [SiSara] had nine hundred iron chariots, which [he used to] oppress Israel for twenty years.
Κρ. 4:6:Then DeborAh sent for BaRak (the son of AbineEm) who was in Cades of NaphTali, and she asked him, ‘Hasn’t Jehovah the God of Israel given you any instructions? Take ten thousand men from among the sons of NaphTali and ZebuLon, and go to Mount Tabor.
Κρ. 4:8:And BaRak replied, ‘If you’ll go with me, I will go. But if you won’t go, I’m not going; because I’m not sure which day Jehovah will bless me [by sending] His messengers.’
Κρ. 4:9:And she said, ‘Then I’ll go with you, but understand this: You won’t be honored by this expedition, for Jehovah will give SiSara into the hands of a woman.’ So DeborAh left Cades and went with BaRak…
Κρ. 4:14:Then DeborAh told BaRak, ‘Now [get ready], for this is the day when Jehovah will give SiSara into your hands… because Jehovah will go ahead of you!’ So, BaRak descended Mount Tabor with ten thousand men,
Κρ. 4:15:and Jehovah created problems for SiSara, his chariots, and his army; and BaRak cut them down with swords. Then SiSara jumped from his chariot and ran.
Κρ. 5:3:Hear O you kings and listen you rulers, For this I will sing… Yes, I’ll sing a song to Jehovah… A psalm to Jehovah, Israel’s God.
Κρ. 5:4:O Jehovah; You went up to Seir… You went to the land of Edom; The earth quaked and the sky dripped with dew, And from the clouds dropped the rain.
Κρ. 5:5:Mountains shook before the face of the Lord; O God; Sinai [trembled] before the face of Jehovah (God of Israel),
Κρ. 5:9:My heart yearned for Israel to be ordered, (Among those who still praised Jehovah)
Κρ. 5:11:that you’ve been saved from those who disturbed us; And may those who go to draw water, Tell the righteous things that You’ve done, O Jehovah. And may Your righteous deeds keep growing in Israel; May the people of Jehovah return to their cities.
Κρ. 5:13:A small group of the strong people of Jehovah went with him; They were the mighty that came from among us.
Κρ. 5:23:May you be cursed, O Meroz, For, the messenger of Jehovah has cursed all who live there, Because they didn’t [fight] for Jehovah, And [they didn’t come] to the aid of His mighty.
Κρ. 5:31:May all your enemies perish thus, O Jehovah; But may those who love You be just as strong, As the voyages of the sun.’
Κρ. 6:1:However, the children of Israel kept doing evil things in the eyes of Jehovah, so He put them under the hand of the Midianites for seven years.
Κρ. 6:7:and the children of Israel started calling to Jehovah over Midian.
Κρ. 6:8:Then Jehovah sent a Prophet to the children of Israel, who told them, ‘This is what Jehovah the God of Israel says: I’m the One who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and it was I who brought you out of the house of slavery.
Κρ. 6:10:I also told you that I am Jehovah your God, so you are not to be afraid of the gods of the Amorites in whose land you now live; but you just wouldn’t listen to Me!
Κρ. 6:11:Then a messenger of Jehovah came and sat down under the fir tree at EphRatha (BethLehem) in the land of JoAs (the father of EsDri), as [EsDri’s] son Gideon was threshing wheat in a wine press (so the Midianites wouldn’t notice [what he was doing]).
Κρ. 6:12:It was there that Jehovah’s messenger appeared to him and said, ‘Jehovah is with you, you mighty [man].’
Κρ. 6:13:And Gideon said to him, ‘Be patient with me, my lord; If Jehovah is with us, then why are all these bad things happening to us… and where are all His miracles that our ancestors have told us about, such as when He brought them out of Egypt? For, now he has rejected us and given us into the hands of the Midianites.’
Κρ. 6:14:Then the messenger of Jehovah turned to him and said, ‘Go and use your strength to save Israel from the hands of Midian. For look, I am sending you!’
Κρ. 6:16:And the messenger of Jehovah said to him, ‘Jehovah will be with you and you must cut down everyone in Midian.’
Κρ. 6:21:Then the messenger of Jehovah stuck out the walking stick that was in his hand and touched the meat and fermentation-free bread, and fire came out of the rock and consumed it all. Then the messenger of Jehovah vanished from his sight.
Κρ. 6:22:It was then that Gideon realized it was a messenger of Jehovah, and he said, ‘Ah… ah… Jehovah my God! I’ve seen the messenger of Jehovah face to face!’
Κρ. 6:23:And Jehovah replied, ‘May you have peace. Now, don’t be afraid, for you’re not going to die.’
Κρ. 6:24:And so Gideon built an altar to Jehovah there and called it ‘The Peace of Jehovah.’ And it’s still there today in EphRatha, [at the home of his] father, EsDri.
Κρ. 6:25:Then that night, Jehovah said to him, ‘Now take the young calf that your father has, the second one that is seven-years old, and then destroy your father’s altar to Baal and his sacred poles.
Κρ. 6:26:For, you must build an altar to Jehovah your God on the top of this hill and get things ready; then take the calf and sacrifice it as a whole burnt offering, using the wood from the sacred poles that you cut down.’
Κρ. 6:27:So, Gideon took ten of his servants and did as Jehovah said. But, because he was afraid of the house of his father and the men of the city, he did it at night.
Κρ. 6:34:So, the Breath of Jehovah came upon Gideon and he blew his [battle] horn, and AbiEzer came to his aid.
Κρ. 7:4:Then Jehovah said to Gideon, ‘There are still too many people, so lead them all down to the water, and I will reduce their numbers for you. Then, whichever ones I select and say, This one must go with you, you must take. And those that I tell you not to take must not go with you… make sure that they don’t come along!’
Κρ. 7:5:So, Gideon led the people down to the water, and Jehovah said to Gideon, ‘Now, I want you to set all those who lap the water like a dog aside from those who get down on their knees to drink.’
Κρ. 7:7:And Jehovah said to Gideon, ‘Now I’m going to save you and give Midian into your hands with these three hundred men who lapped the water. All the rest may return home.’
Κρ. 7:9:And that night, Jehovah said to him, ‘Now get up and go down into the camp, for I have given it into your hands.
Κρ. 7:15:So, when Gideon heard the story of the dream and its interpretation, he thanked Jehovah. Then he returned to the camp of Israel and said, ‘Now get up, for Jehovah has given the camp of Midian into our hands.’
Κρ. 7:18:then I’ll blow my horn, and at the same time you must start blowing your trumpets all around their camp and shouting, For Jehovah and Gideon!
Κρ. 7:20:Then all three companies blew their trumpets and broke their pitchers, and they held the torches in their left hands as they blew their trumpets with their right hands and shouted, ‘A sword for Jehovah and Gideon!’
Κρ. 7:22:And when the three hundred blew their trumpets, Jehovah caused the entire army to start attacking each other with swords.
Κρ. 8:3:Why, Jehovah delivered the leaders of Midian (Oreb and Zeb) into your hands, and what did I do to compare with that?’ Well when he said that, they calmed down.
Κρ. 8:7:And Gideon said, ‘Okay then, but when Jehovah gives Zebee and Salmana into my hands, [I’m going to return] and tear your flesh with thorns in the BarKenim Desert.’ From there he went up to Peniel and made the same request of them, but they answered as the men of Succoth had.
Κρ. 8:19:And Gideon said, ‘They were my brothers… the sons of my mother. So, as Jehovah lives, if you had left them alive I wouldn’t have to kill you.’
Κρ. 8:23:But Gideon replied, ‘I’m not going to rule over you, nor will my sons, for Jehovah must be your ruler.’
Κρ. 8:34:So, the children of Israel forgot Jehovah their God who had saved them from the hands of all those around them that were oppressing them.
Κρ. 10:6:Then the children of Israel once again started doing evil things in the eyes of Jehovah,
Κρ. 10:11:but Jehovah said to the children of Israel: ‘Haven’t I delivered you from the oppression of Egypt, the Amorites, the children of AmMon, the Philistines,
Κρ. 10:16:Then they removed all their other gods and started serving just Jehovah again. However, He was hurt by all the trouble that Israel was causing.
Κρ. 11:9:So JephThah told the elders of Gilead. ‘Okay, if you bring me back to fight against the children of AmMon and Jehovah hands them over to me; then I must be your leader.’
Κρ. 11:10:And the elders of Gilead replied, ‘Jehovah is our witness that we will do just as you said.’
Κρ. 11:11:So JephThah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him the head [of their army and their] ruler. Then JephThah prayed to Jehovah about this at MasSepha.
Κρ. 11:21:However, Jehovah the God of Israel gave Seon and all his people into the hands of Israel, and they them cut him down and inherited all the land of the Amorites who lived there,
Κρ. 11:23:‘So, now that Jehovah the God of Israel has removed the Amorites [and given their land to] His people Israel, are you going to take it back?
Κρ. 11:24:Why not accept the land that your god Chamosh has given you as your inheritance, and allow us to inherit all the land that our God Jehovah has taken from you?
Κρ. 11:27:So now, I haven’t sinned against you, but you’re doing me wrong by preparing to war against me. May Jehovah our Judge serve as the judge between the children of Israel and the children of AmMon today!’
Κρ. 11:29:And Jehovah’s Breath settled upon JephThah, so he went up to Gilead (in ManasSeh), passed by its watchtower (as well as the children of AmMon), and went to the other side of the city.
Κρ. 11:30:Then JephThah made a vow to Jehovah. He said, ‘If you’ll give the children of AmMon into my hands,
Κρ. 11:31:then whoever is the first to come out of the door of my house to meet me when I return in peace after [conquering] the children of AmMon, must be Jehovah’s… I will offer him as a whole burnt offering.’
Κρ. 11:32:Then JephThah advanced to meet the sons of AmMon in battle, and Jehovah gave them into his hands.
Κρ. 11:35:And when he saw her, he ripped his clothes and shouted, ‘Oh no, my daughter! You’ve ruined me! Oh, I’m so sad, because I made a promise about you to Jehovah, and now I can’t change it.’
Κρ. 11:36:And she said: ‘Father, do to me whatever you’ve promised to Jehovah, for He has given you vengeance on our enemies, the children of AmMon.’
Κρ. 12:3:So, when I saw that you weren’t any help, I put my life in my own hands and attacked the sons of AmMon, and Jehovah gave them to me. So now, just why are you coming against me today?’
Κρ. 13:1:Then the children of Israel started sinning against Jehovah again, so He handed them over to the Philistines for forty years.
Κρ. 13:3:Then a messenger of Jehovah appeared to her and said, ‘I see that you have never given birth to a son.
Κρ. 13:8:So ManoEh prayed to Jehovah and said: ‘I beg You, O Jehovah my Lord, concerning the man of God that you sent. Let him come to us once again and teach us what to do to this child that’s about to be born.’
Κρ. 13:9:And Jehovah heard the voice of ManoEh and sent His messenger to the woman again as she was sitting in a field… but ManoEh (her husband) wasn’t with her.
Κρ. 13:13:And the messenger of Jehovah said to ManoEh: ‘The woman will be aware of all the things that I spoke to her about;
Κρ. 13:15:And ManoEh said to the messenger of Jehovah, ‘Please stay for a while and let us prepare a meal of young goat for you.’
Κρ. 13:16:And the messenger of Jehovah said to ManoEh, ‘If you want me to stay, I won’t eat your bread. But if you wish to sacrifice a whole burnt offering to Jehovah, you should do it.’ Now, ManoEh didn’t realize that he was a messenger of Jehovah,
Κρ. 13:18:And the messenger of Jehovah replied, ‘Why do you ask my name? It’s just too wonderful.’
Κρ. 13:19:So then, ManoEh took a kid goat and its meat offering, and offered it to Jehovah on a rock. And the messenger did something unusual as ManoEh and his wife looked on.
Κρ. 13:20:For the flames of the altar flew up into the sky, and the messenger of Jehovah went up in the flames. And when ManoEh and his wife saw this, they fell with their faces to the ground.
Κρ. 13:21:Well, the messenger never appeared to ManoEh and his wife again. But MonoEh then realized that it was a messenger of Jehovah.
Κρ. 13:23:But his wife said to him, ‘If Jehovah wanted to kill us, He wouldn’t have accepted our whole burnt offering and food offering, nor would He have shown us or caused us to hear all these things.’
Κρ. 13:24:Thereafter, the woman gave birth to a son who she named Sampson, and Jehovah blest him as he grew.
Κρ. 13:25:For, the Breath of Jehovah went with him into the camp of Dan and between SaraAh and EsthaOl.
Κρ. 14:4:Well, what his father and mother didn’t realize, is that this [action] came from Jehovah, for He wanted to bring His vengeance upon the Philistines, who were ruling over Israel at the time.
Κρ. 14:6:Well, the Breath of Jehovah came over him in a powerful way, and he crushed the lion as though it were a kid goat, leaving nothing in his hands. But he didn’t tell his father and mother what he had done.
Κρ. 14:19:Then the Breath of Jehovah came over him and he went down into the city and destroyed thirty men, took their clothes, and gave them to those who answered the riddle. And Sampson was so angry that he just went back to the house of his father,
Κρ. 15:18:Well, he was extremely thirsty, so he called to Jehovah and said, ‘Since it has pleased You to use Your servant’s hands to bring about this great deliverance, must I now die of thirst and fall into the hands of the uncircumcised?’
Κρ. 16:20:So when DeliLah shouted ‘The Philistines are here, Sampson!’ he woke up thinking, ‘I’ll just shake myself free and leave, as before.’ But he didn’t know that Jehovah had left him.
Κρ. 16:28:Then Sampson called to Jehovah and said, ‘O Jehovah my Lord; please remember me and give me strength just one last time, O God, so I can make the Philistines pay for the loss of my eyes.’
Κρ. 17:2:And he said to his mother, ‘Do you remember those eleven hundred silver coins that you once had, and which you cursed me for taking? Well, here they are, for I did in fact take them.’ And his mother said, ‘May Jehovah bless you, my son.’
Κρ. 17:13:And MicaYas said, ‘Now I know that Jehovah will treat me well, because a Levite has become my priest.’
Κρ. 18:6:And the priest said to them, ‘Go your way in peace, for the direction you’re heading is the direction of Jehovah.’
Κρ. 20:1:Then the whole gathering of the children of Israel (from Dan to BerSabeEh) came to a meeting before Jehovah at MasSepha in the land of Gilead.
Κρ. 20:2:They all stood there before Jehovah as an assembly of the people of God, along with four hundred thousand sword carrying soldiers,
Κρ. 20:18:But [before they went to battle], they went to BethEl to ask God, ‘Who must lead us in the fight against the children of BenJamin?’ And Jehovah replied, ‘Judah must go first and serve as your leader.’
Κρ. 20:23:[But first], they went and spent the day crying before Jehovah, and in the evening they asked Him, ‘Should we go to fight against our brothers the children of BenJamin again?’ And Jehovah said, ‘Go and fight them.’
Κρ. 20:26:Then all the children of Israel (the people and their troops) went to BethEl and sat there crying before Jehovah, and they fasted all that day until the evening. Then they offered whole burnt offerings and perfect sacrifices to Jehovah.
Κρ. 20:27:Well, back then, the [Sacred Chest] of Jehovah God was there [in BethEl].
Κρ. 20:28:And Phineas (the son of EliEzer and grandson of Aaron) would go and stand before it whenever the children of Israel wanted to ask Jehovah for anything. So, again they asked: ‘Must we go again to fight with our brothers, the sons of BenJamin?’ And Jehovah replied, ‘If you go there in the morning, I will give them into your hands.’
Κρ. 20:35:So, Jehovah allowed the children of Israel to cut down BenJamin that day. And all together, the children of Israel destroyed twenty-five thousand of BenJamin’s soldiers.
Κρ. 21:3:For they asked, ‘Why, O Jehovah the God of Israel, should one tribe of Israel now be missing?’
Κρ. 21:5:Then the children of Israel started asking, ‘Who among the tribes of Israel hasn’t come here to meet with the gathering of Jehovah?’ (For they had all sworn an oath that those who didn’t come to Jehovah at MasSephath would be put to death).
Κρ. 21:7:But, what must we do to provide wives for those [among BenJamin] who are still alive, since we’ve all sworn by Jehovah not to give them our daughters as wives?’
Κρ. 21:8:Then they asked, ‘Are there any among the tribes of Israel who failed to come to Jehovah at MasSephath?’ And they found that no one had come there from JabIsh in Gilead
Κρ. 21:15:The reason why the people made this concession to Benjamin, was because Jehovah had allowed this breakup among the tribes of Israel.
Κρ. 21:19:Then they said, ‘Look, there’s a feast of Jehovah that’s held each year in Shiloh’ (which is north of BethEl and east of the road between BethEl and Sychem, south of Lebona).
Ρουθ 1:6:So, she got up and told her two daughters-in-law that she was going to return to her own country, because she heard [from someone] there in the land of Moab, that Jehovah had returned to His people and was again providing loaves of bread to eat.
Ρουθ 1:8:But Naomi said to her daughters-in-law: ‘Please go back home to your mothers, and may Jehovah be as merciful with you as you’ve been with my dead ones. Thank you for meeting with me.
Ρουθ 1:9:May Jehovah give you each rest in the house of a husband.’ Then she kissed them and they both started to cry,
Ρουθ 1:13:And should you wait for them and not marry again until they’ve grown into men? No, my daughters, for I’ve become very bitter since the hand of Jehovah has been against me.’
Ρουθ 1:17:Wherever you die is where I will die, and that’s were I’ll be buried. May Jehovah [curse] me and add more to it if anything other than death will separate me from you.’
Ρουθ 1:21:Because, after I left [this land], Jehovah has sent me back with nothing. So, why call me Naomi, because Jehovah has humbled me, and [God] has persecuted me.’
Ρουθ 2:4:And {Look!} when Boaz came from the city (of BethLehem), he said to those who were harvesting there, ‘May Jehovah be with you.’ And they replied, ‘May Jehovah bless you.’
Ρουθ 2:12:May Jehovah repay your good deeds, and may the God of Israel who you’ve come to serve shelter you under His wings.’
Ρουθ 2:20:And Naomi said, ‘Praise Jehovah, for He hasn’t forgotten to be merciful [to the widows] of those who have died.’ Then she added, ‘This man is a close relative to you. He’s one of us… one of our closest relatives!’
Ρουθ 3:10:And Boaz replied, ‘May you be blessed by Jehovah God for your goodness and mercy, my daughter, because you chose the last over the first. You could have looked for a younger man, whether rich or poor.
Ρουθ 3:13:So, spend the rest of the night here, and in the morning, we’ll find out if he will do right by you as your closest relative. Now, as Jehovah is living, you may go to sleep until the morning.’
Ρουθ 4:11:And the elders agreed, saying, ‘We are witnesses. And may Jehovah make the wife who is entering your home like Rachael and Leah, the ones who built the house of Israel. May they succeed in doing that in a powerful way in EphRatha, and in [bringing forth] a name in BethLehem.
Ρουθ 4:14:And she said to Naomi, ‘May Jehovah be praised, because He didn’t rest until He provided a son for you today. May he speak your name in Israel,
1Σαμ. 1:3:Well, each day [ElKanah] would leave his city and go up to Shiloh to bow and offer sacrifices to Jehovah of armies, along with Eli and two of his sons, Hophni and Phineas, who were Priests of Jehovah.
1Σαμ. 1:5:but he only gave HanNah a single portion, because she didn’t have any children. However, ElKanah loved HanNah more than he loved PeninNah, yet Jehovah had kept her womb locked,
1Σαμ. 1:6:for He hadn’t given her a child to love and to remove her sorrow, so she became depressed, and she believed that Jehovah wouldn’t allow her to have a baby.
1Σαμ. 1:7:And each year she would go up to the House of Jehovah, and cry and fast there.
1Σαμ. 1:10:and because her life was in such pain, she prayed and cried there before Jehovah.
1Σαμ. 1:11:Then she made a vow, saying, ‘O Jehovah of armies; if You will look at me, You will see how Your slave woman has been disgraced. Please remember me and don’t forget that I’m your servant. Remember me and don’t forget me; and if You’ll give me a son, I will stand him before You and dedicate him to You throughout his entire life, and no razor will ever be used on his head.’
1Σαμ. 1:12:As she was praying there before Jehovah, the Priest Eli was watching her mouth,
1Σαμ. 1:15:But HanNah said, ‘No my lord, I’m just a woman who has had hard times. I haven’t had any wine or liquor to drink, and I’m not drunk. Rather, I’m pouring out my soul before Jehovah.
1Σαμ. 1:19:Then, when they got up early the next morning, they bowed before Jehovah and went back home. And after ElKanah returned home to RamAh, he [had sex] with his wife HanNah, and Jehovah remembered her and she got pregnant.
1Σαμ. 1:22:HanNah didn’t go there with him, for she said, ‘I will wait until the boy is weaned before I bring him before Jehovah, then he can spend the rest of the age there.’
1Σαμ. 1:23:And ElKanah said, ‘You do whatever you see is best. But after he’s weaned, may [Jehovah hold you responsible] for the things you’ve said.’ So, the woman nursed her son until the time he was weaned,
1Σαμ. 1:24:then they took him up to Shiloh along with a three-year-old calf, a quart of fine flour, and a skin flask of wine. There they entered the house of Jehovah in Shiloh, and took the boy inside with them
1Σαμ. 1:25:and stood him before Jehovah. Then, after they slaughtered the calf, HanNah brought the child to Eli
1Σαμ. 1:26:and said, ‘My Lord, may you live a long life. I’m the woman who stood before you while praying to Jehovah, and here’s my son.
1Σαμ. 1:27:This is the boy that I prayed for, and Jehovah gave me what I asked of Him, so may he now serve Jehovah all the days of his life. [We are presenting him to you here] to be used by the Lord.’
1Σαμ. 2:1:And HanNah prayed and sang: ‘Now my [faith] is firm, O God; For my heart [belongs to Jehovah]; My horn has been raised by my God; And against my enemies my mouth’s opened wide. ‘I thank You for my salvation, For, Your salvation has made me so happy.
1Σαμ. 2:2:There’s no one as holy as Jehovah; There’s no one who is as righteous as our God… none are holier than You.
1Σαμ. 2:3:‘We should never boast Or allow haughty words to come from our mouths, For, Jehovah is a God of [great] knowledge, And a God who plans all that He does.
1Σαμ. 2:6:‘For, Jehovah kills and gives birth to the living; He takes them to the grave and leads them back out.
1Σαμ. 2:7:It’s Jehovah who makes the poor and the rich; Yes, He humbles and raises.
1Σαμ. 2:10:And it’s Jehovah who weakens our enemies… yes Jehovah is holy. ‘May the intelligent not boast of their smartness, And may the mighty not brag of their strength, Nor the rich of their wealth. But let them boast now in this: Let he who is bragging now see, And know that it comes from Jehovah; May they observe the ways that He judges, And see His justice in the midst of the land. ‘For, Jehovah has ascended into heaven, And there in the sky He has thundered. He will [find] and judge all the wicked, And to the ends of the earth [He’ll search] for the righteous. ‘It is He who gives strength to kings, And it’s He who’ll raise the horn of His anointed.’
1Σαμ. 2:11:She then left him there before Jehovah and went back home to their house in RamAh. And there the boy served Jehovah before Eli the Priest. Now, Eli’s Sons were very wicked,
1Σαμ. 2:12:because they didn’t [really believe in Jehovah].
1Σαμ. 2:14:They would drop the meat hook down into the large kettle and grab whatever they could. So, rather than allowing [the people to eat their portion of the sacrifice], the Priests took whatever they wanted. And that’s how they treated the people of Israel who came to Shiloh to offer sacrifices to Jehovah.
1Σαμ. 2:17:And that’s how the young men were sinning before Jehovah in such a great way, and how they made the His sacrifices worthless.’
1Σαμ. 2:18:So, SamuEl served there in the presence of Jehovah as a boy, wearing a sacred chest piece of linen.
1Σαμ. 2:20:And Eli praised ElKanah and his wife, saying, ‘Jehovah has taken the seed of this woman as a loan, for the way that she has acted toward the Lord.’ And then they went back home.
1Σαμ. 2:21:Well, Jehovah visited HanNah once more, and she got pregnant again. So, she gave birth to three more sons and two daughters. But the boy SamuEl was given the responsibility of serving in the presence of Jehovah.
1Σαμ. 2:23:And he asked them, ‘Why are you doing all these bad things that the people of Jehovah are talking about?
1Σαμ. 2:25:Why, if you’re sinning against the people, they will go and pray to Jehovah about it. And if you’re the one who is sinning against Jehovah, who will pray for you?’ But they wouldn’t listen to their father, because Jehovah preferred to destroy them.
1Σαμ. 2:26:However, the boy SamuEl went on to become great, for he was in good standing with both Jehovah and with men.
1Σαμ. 2:27:Then a man from God came to Eli and said, ‘This is what Jehovah has said: I revealed Myself to the house of your fathers in the land of Egypt who were servants in the house of Pharaoh.
1Σαμ. 2:30:Now, because of this, says Jehovah, the God of Israel, Your house and the house of your father will fall before Me through the age. Then those who glorify Me will be glorified, and those who treat Me with contempt will be disgraced.
1Σαμ. 3:1:Well, the boy SamuEl served as an official of Jehovah under Eli the [High] Priest. And back then, the word of Jehovah was highly esteemed, because the [Priests] weren’t being given visions of what to do.
1Σαμ. 3:3:the [sacred] lampstand of God had been left burning. Well, SamuEl also lied down in the Holy Place of Jehovah near the Chest of Proofs.
1Σαμ. 3:7:Well, SamuEl didn’t realize that it was God speaking, and that the words of Jehovah were about to be revealed to him.
1Σαμ. 3:10:and Jehovah came and called as He had done before. He said, ‘SamuEl… SamuEl.’ And SamuEl replied, ‘Speak, because Your servant is listening!’
1Σαμ. 3:15:Then SamuEl went back to bed [and lay there] until morning. And when he got up early in the morning and opened the entrance to the House of Jehovah, he was afraid to tell Eli what he saw.
1Σαμ. 3:18:So, SamuEl reported everything that was said to him… he didn’t try to hide a single word. And Eli said, ‘Jehovah is good, and He will do everything that He says He will do.’
1Σαμ. 3:19:Well SamuEl became great, because Jehovah was with him, and there wasn’t a word he was told that failed to come true in the land.
1Σαμ. 3:20:And all Israel from Dan to BeerSheba came to know that SamuEl was a faithful Prophet of Jehovah.
1Σαμ. 3:21:So, Jehovah started to show Himself at Shiloh again, for He was revealing Himself to SamuEl, and Jehovah was speaking to him there. Then SamuEl became the trusted Prophet of Jehovah throughout Israel, from one end of the land to the other. But Eli was very old, and his sons kept doing things that were wicked before Jehovah.
1Σαμ. 4:3:And when they returned to camp, the people asked, ‘Why has Jehovah allowed us to lose against the Philistines today? Perhaps we should take Jehovah’s Chest of Proofs from Shiloh and carry it in our midst [in battle], for it will protect us from the hands of our enemies!’
1Σαμ. 4:4:So they sent people to Shiloh to get the Chest of Jehovah’s Sacred Agreement [to summon the power] of the cherubs [on its cover], and both sons of Eli (Hophni and Phineas) traveled with the [sacred] Chest of God.
1Σαμ. 4:6:And when the Philistines heard it, they started asking each other, ‘Why are they shouting in the camp of the Hebrews?’ Well, they concluded that the Chest of Jehovah had been brought into the camp,
1Σαμ. 5:3:But when the people of AshDod got up early the next morning and entered the Temple, {Look!} they found Dagon had fallen with his face to the ground before the Chest of God. So, they lifted Dagon up and set him back in place. Well, Jehovah’s hand continued to be heavy against the people of AshDod and the surrounding country, for He tormented them and struck them [with boils] on their backsides.
1Σαμ. 5:4:Then, when they got up the next morning, {Look!} they found that Dagon had once again fallen on his face before the Chest of Jehovah’s Sacred Agreement, but this time his head had fallen off and both hands had broken off at their wrists, and were lying by the [front] door. So, all that was left of him was his torso.
1Σαμ. 5:6:Well, Jehovah continued to oppress and torment the people of AshDod, and He struck them [with boils] on their backsides throughout all its borders.
1Σαμ. 5:9:And as they were moving it there, Jehovah created a tremendous problem for them, for He struck all the men of the city (both the small and the great) [with boils] on their backsides.
1Σαμ. 6:1:Well, the Chest of Jehovah just laid there in a Philistine field for seven months, and soon their land became overrun with mice.
1Σαμ. 6:2:So the Philistines called a meeting of their priests, clairvoyants, and witches, and they asked, ‘What should we do with the Chest of Jehovah? Tell us how we can go about returning it to where it belongs!’
1Σαμ. 6:3:And they replied, ‘If you return the Chest of the Sacred Agreement of Jehovah the God of Israel, return it empty. For, by doing this you will really upset them, but the thing will be settled. [Their God] will no longer [oppress you] and everyone will be healed [from the plague].’
1Σαμ. 6:5:‘Each of the five Philistine governors should send along a gold [model of their] buttocks, because the fault was theirs… both the rulers and the people. Also, send along a representation of five gold mice, the type that are overrunning the land; and [don’t forget to] give glory to Jehovah if you wish Him to [stop being angry] with you, your gods, and your land.
1Σαμ. 6:8:Next, take the Chest of Jehovah and put it on the wagon, then replace the things in the Chest with the gold representations of your torment and send it on.
1Σαμ. 6:11:Then they put the Chest of Jehovah on the wagon and placed the gold mice and the images of their buttocks inside the chest,
1Σαμ. 6:13:Well at the time, the people of BethShemesh were harvesting their wheat in the valley. And when they saw the Chest of Jehovah, they started cheering and ran to meet it.
1Σαμ. 6:14:Then they took the wagon into the field of Joshua (which was near BethShemesh), up to a huge rock, where they split the wood of the wagon and sacrificed the oxen as whole burnt offerings to Jehovah.
1Σαμ. 6:15:The Levites then took the Chest of Jehovah and removed the items of gold that were in it, and placed them on the large rock. Then the men of BethShemesh sacrificed the whole burnt offerings (along with other sacrifices) to Jehovah.
1Σαμ. 6:17:Now, these are the gold buttocks that the Philistines sent to remove the torment of Jehovah: There was one from AshDod, one from Gaza, one from AshKelon, one from Gath, and one from Ekron.
1Σαμ. 6:18:And each of the well-fortified Philistine cities sent gold mice, one from each of the five governors… they were also removed from the Chest of Jehovah and placed on the large rock. [You can still find that rock] in the field of JoShua near BethShemesh today.
1Σαμ. 6:19:But then Jehovah struck the men of BethShemesh, because they had [been examining] the Chest of Jehovah. He struck down seventy of their [leaders] and fifty thousand of their people, and they went into mourning, because Jehovah had struck so many people with such a great calamity.
1Σαμ. 6:20:And the men of BethShemesh asked, ‘Who can stand in the presence of this holy God Jehovah, and who can we send to carry this Chest?
1Σαμ. 6:21:So they sent messengers to the people of Kiriath JaIrim saying, The Philistines have returned the Chest of Jehovah, so come here and take it.’
1Σαμ. 7:1:Then the men of Kiriath JaIrim went and took the Chest of Jehovah’s Sacred Agreement and carried it to the House of AminAdab on the hill, and EliEzer and his son were [purified] there, so they could serve as guardians of the Chest.
1Σαμ. 7:2:But the ‘day’ that the Chest was to be kept in Kiriath JaIrim became many days… in fact, it stayed there for twenty years! Meanwhile, the whole house of Israel started [turning to Jehovah].
1Σαμ. 7:3:So, SamuEl spoke to the house of Israel and said, ‘If you wish to return to Jehovah with your whole hearts, you must remove the gods of the foreigners that live among you and their sacred poles, and prepare your hearts for Jehovah and serve Him alone. Then He will rescue you from the hands of the Philistines!’
1Σαμ. 7:4:So, the sons of Israel [got rid of their images of] Baal Im and their sacred poles of AstarOth, and they started serving just Jehovah.
1Σαμ. 7:5:Then SamuEl said, ‘All of Israel must gather at Mizpah, and I will pray to Jehovah for you there.’
1Σαμ. 7:6:So, all the people went to Mizpah, where they drew water and poured it out on the ground before Jehovah, and they fasted throughout the whole day. For, they said, ‘We have sinned against Jehovah.’ Then SamuEl prayed in behalf of the sons of Israel there at Mizpah.
1Σαμ. 7:8:So they went to SamuEl and said, ‘Don’t remain silent! Call out to Jehovah your God so He will save us from the hands of the Philistines!’
1Σαμ. 7:9:Then SamuEl took a newborn lamb and sacrificed it as a whole burnt offering to Jehovah before all the people, and he called to Jehovah on behalf of Israel, and Jehovah listened.
1Σαμ. 7:10:Well, just as SamuEl was offering up the sacrifice, the Philistines attacked. And then the voice of Jehovah spoke like thunder to the Philistines, which confused them, so they retreated.
1Σαμ. 7:12:And thereafter, SamuEl took a [block of] stone and erected it between Mizpah and the old city, which he named EbenEzer, which means, ‘The Rock of the Helper.’ For, he said, ‘This is where Jehovah helped us.’
1Σαμ. 7:13:So, Jehovah humbled the Philistines that day, and they didn’t enter the borders of Israel again, for the hand of Jehovah was against the Philistines during the entire lifetime of SamuEl.
1Σαμ. 7:17:Then he would return to his home in RamAh, where he served as the mediator for Israel and where he built an Altar to Jehovah.
1Σαμ. 8:6:But SamuEl viewed this as something wicked when they said, ‘Appoint a king to settle matters between us,’ so he prayed to Jehovah.
1Σαμ. 8:7:And Jehovah replied, ‘Listen to the voice of the people and do whatever they’re asking. For, they aren’t treating you with contempt,
1Σαμ. 8:10:So, SamuEl told them everything that Jehovah said about kings.
1Σαμ. 8:18:And the day will come when you’ll call out to the king that you chose for yourselves, and he won’t pay any attention to Jehovah.’
1Σαμ. 8:21:And after SamuEl heard what the people said, he spoke to them before Jehovah and said,
1Σαμ. 8:22:Jehovah told me to listen to whatever you have to say and to appoint a king over you. Now, each of you should return to your cities.’
1Σαμ. 9:15:However, Jehovah had opened the ears of SamuEl [the previous day] and told him,
1Σαμ. 9:17:So when SamuEl noticed Saul, Jehovah said to him, ‘Look, this is the man that I was talking to you about. He will rule My people.’
1Σαμ. 10:1:Then SamuEl took a flask of oil and poured it over [Saul’s] head, and kissed him and said: ‘Jehovah is anointing you to be the ruler over His inheritance.
1Σαμ. 10:6:Then the Breath of Jehovah will come over you and you should prophesy with them, for you will become another man.
1Σαμ. 10:17:Then SamuEl summoned all the people of Jehovah and told them to assemble at MizPah.
1Σαμ. 10:18:And there he told the sons of Israel, ‘This is what Jehovah the God of Israel has said: I led Israel out of Egypt and I rescued them from the hand of its Pharaoh and from the hands of all the kingdoms that oppressed them.
1Σαμ. 10:19:Yet, today you’re treating the God who saved you from all of this badness and oppression with contempt! ‘Now, you’ve all said that you want me to appoint a king over you. So, that’s why you’re all standing here before Jehovah today by tribes, states, and families.’
1Σαμ. 10:20:Then SamuEl led each of the tribes of Israel [past Jehovah], and the tribe of BenJamin was chosen. Then he led the tribe of BenJamin [past Jehovah] and the family of Matri was chosen.
1Σαμ. 10:22:So SamuEl asked Jehovah: ‘Is the man still here?’ And Jehovah replied: ‘Look, he’s hiding in the tool shed.’
1Σαμ. 10:24:Then SamuEl said to the people, ‘Do you see who Jehovah Himself has chosen? There isn’t another man like him among you!’ Well, all the people recognized this and they shouted, ‘Long live the king!’
1Σαμ. 10:25:Thereafter, SamuEl explained all the rules of kingship to the people, and then he wrote everything in a scroll and set it before Jehovah. So, he sent the people away and they each returned home.
1Σαμ. 10:26:And when Saul got home to GibeAh, many powerful men whose hearts had been touched by Jehovah were there to meet with him.
1Σαμ. 11:6:Well, the Breath of Jehovah came over Saul when he heard what they said, and he was outraged.
1Σαμ. 11:7:So he took his two oxen and cut them up, then he sent [the pieces] throughout all Israel via messengers who said, ‘Whoever refuses to follow Saul and SamuEl will be treated like my oxen.’ Then Jehovah caused a change of heart to come over the people [of Israel], and they started shouting together as one person.
1Σαμ. 11:13:But Saul said, ‘No; none of them are going to die today, because this is the day that Jehovah has brought salvation to Israel.’
1Σαμ. 11:15:So, everyone went to GilGal, and SamuEl anointed Saul as king there before Jehovah. Then he offered sacrifices before Jehovah, and Saul and all the people of Israel were very happy.
1Σαμ. 12:3:And look, here I am! So, answer before Jehovah and His anointed one: Whose calf or burro have I taken? Whom have I tyrannized or pressured? And from whose hand have I taken a bribe or even a sandal? Tell me what I’ve taken and I’ll return it to you!’
1Σαμ. 12:5:Then SamuEl said to the people, ‘So Jehovah is my witness among you today, as is His anointed one, that you haven’t found anything in my hands that I’ve taken from you.’ And they replied, ‘It’s a fact.’
1Σαμ. 12:6:And SamuEl said, ‘Then Jehovah, the One who prepared Moses and Aaron and who led our ancestors out of Egypt, is my witness.
1Σαμ. 12:7:So now, come here and I will judge you before Jehovah, and I’ll tell you of the righteous things that Jehovah has done for you and your ancestors.
1Σαμ. 12:8:‘After Jacob and his sons moved to Egypt, the Egyptians made them slaves. So, our ancestors called to Jehovah and He sent Moses and Aaron. They led our ancestors out of Egypt and settled them here.
1Σαμ. 12:9:But [our ancestors soon] forgot Jehovah their God, so He gave them into the hands of Sisera (the commander-in-chief of JabIsh, the king of Hazor), then into the hands of the Philistines, then into the hands of Moab, and they had to go to war with [each of] them.
1Σαμ. 12:10:But when they called to Jehovah and admitted that they had sinned by abandoning Him to serve Baal Im and the sacred poles and they asked Him to rescue them,
1Σαμ. 12:11:Jehovah sent JeruBaal, then Barak, then JephThah, and finally SamuEl. So, He has continued to save you from the hands of the enemies that live all around you, and you’ve started to feel safe.
1Σαμ. 12:12:‘Then, when you saw NaHash (the king of the sons of Ammon) coming against you, you said, We want a king to rule over us… yet our God Jehovah is your king.
1Σαμ. 12:13:‘So now, look… here’s the king that I got for you and whom you chose. Yet, Jehovah was the One who appointed him as your king,
1Σαμ. 12:14:so you must serve Him and listen to His voice. Don’t argue with Jehovah
1Σαμ. 12:7:both you and the king who rules over you must follow Jehovah your God!
1Σαμ. 12:15:But if you ever stop listening to the voice of Jehovah and you start arguing with Him, His hand will come against you and against your king.
1Σαμ. 12:16:‘Now, stand and behold the great thing that Jehovah is going to do before your eyes today!
1Σαμ. 12:17:Since this is the time of the wheat harvest, I will call upon Jehovah and He will send thunder and rain. And then you will see and know the bad thing that you did before Jehovah when you asked for a king.’
1Σαμ. 12:18:So SamuEl called to Jehovah and He sent thunder and rain that day. Well, this made the people afraid of SamuEl and Jehovah.
1Σαμ. 12:19:And the people begged SamuEl, ‘Pray to Jehovah your God on behalf of your servants, so we don’t die for this great sin of asking for a king!’
1Σαμ. 12:20:But SamuEl told them, ‘Don’t be afraid of any of the bad things you’ve done. Rather, be in fear of ever turning away from Jehovah! You must keep serving Jehovah with your whole hearts!
1Σαμ. 12:22:Never allow Jehovah to be pushed away from His people, because His Name is great, and He chose you to be His people.
1Σαμ. 12:23:‘Now as for me; may I not sin against Jehovah by ceasing to pray that you will live good and straight lives.
1Σαμ. 12:24:Fear Jehovah and truly serve Him with your whole hearts, for you see what He has done among you!
1Σαμ. 13:12:So I [thought to myself], Now the Philistines are going to attack me at GilGal, and I haven’t been able to beg Jehovah for help. So, I just took charge and sacrificed the whole burnt offerings myself.’
1Σαμ. 13:13:But SamuEl told Saul, ‘You’ve done a foolish thing by not obeying the instructions that I gave you from Jehovah, for He had meant for your kingdom to last through the ages.
1Σαμ. 13:14:But now the kingdom [of your family line] will not stand, and Jehovah will search for another man – one who [pleases] His heart – and He will appoint him to be the ruler over His people, because you didn’t do as Jehovah said.’
1Σαμ. 14:3:and AhiJah (the son AhiTub, the brother of Ichabod, who was the son of Phinehas and the grandson of Eli) the Priest of Jehovah in Shiloh, came carrying the sacred chest piece of the Priest. However, no one knew that JoNathan had left.
1Σαμ. 14:6:Then JoNathan said to the servant who was carrying his weapons, ‘Come on, let’s go to the town of MesSab [and attack] the uncircumcised who are camped there, for, perhaps Jehovah will give them [into our hands]. After all, doesn’t [Jehovah give victory] over many to just a few?’
1Σαμ. 14:10:But if they tell us to come forward, that will be our sign… we’ll know that Jehovah has given them into our hands, so we’ll attack.’
1Σαμ. 14:12:So the men of MesSab called to JoNathan and the man who was carrying his weapons, and said: ‘Come on up here to us and we’ll show you a few things.’ Then JoNathan said to the man who was carrying his weapons, ‘Now follow me, for Jehovah has given them into the hands of Israel!’
1Σαμ. 14:15:And this caused quite a change in attitude among the [Philistines] in and around MesSab, for they had caught the men they destroyed off guard. And everyone was very disturbed over what [Jehovah had done among them].
1Σαμ. 14:22:And when the Israelites who had run to the hills of EphraIm heard that the Philistines were retreating, they all came and joined in the battle, and Jehovah gave victory to Israel that day. Well, the battle raged through BethAven, and by then, about ten thousand men had joined Saul.
1Σαμ. 14:26:And when some of his people went up to them, they found that they were full of honey; but no one would taste any, because of the oath that [Saul] had made before Jehovah.
1Σαμ. 14:33:And when the report was brought to Saul that the people were sinning against Jehovah by eating the blood, Saul said, ‘You have sinned! Now roll a large rock over here.’
1Σαμ. 14:34:Then Saul sent orders for his men to each bring a calf and a sheep, and they were to slaughter them there on the rock and eat them. For he said: ‘You must not sin against Jehovah by eating blood!’ So, everyone brought [the animals] that night and slaughtered them there.
1Σαμ. 14:35:Then Saul built an altar to Jehovah
1Σαμ. 14:39:Why, as Jehovah (the One who saves Israel) lives; if someone were to even tell me that it was my son JoNathan, he would die.’ But nobody said anything.
1Σαμ. 14:41:And Saul said, ‘O Jehovah, God of Israel, give us a sign.’ Then lots were thrown, and Saul and JoNathan were chosen, so the people were excused.
1Σαμ. 14:42:And Saul said, ‘Now throw the lots between me and my son JoNathan, and whoever Jehovah chooses must die!’ So, they threw the lots between him and JoNathan, and JoNathan was chosen.
1Σαμ. 14:45:Then Saul spoke to the people and said, ‘Shall I now kill the one who brought deliverance to Israel? As Jehovah lives, not a hair of his head should fall to the ground over the mercy that God has performed for Israel today.’ Then the people prayed on behalf of JoNathan, and he wasn’t put to death.
1Σαμ. 15:1:Thereafter, SamuEl said to Saul: ‘It was Jehovah who sent me to anoint you as king over His people Israel, so now, listen to what He has to say!
1Σαμ. 15:2:This is what Jehovah of armies says to you: Now I shall punish Amalech for what they did to Israel when they were coming from Egypt.
1Σαμ. 15:10:So Jehovah said to SamuEl, ‘I have changed My mind about having Saul rule as king, because he has turned away from Me and he doesn’t listen to what I say.’
1Σαμ. 15:11:Well, this saddened SamuEl, and he kept calling to Jehovah all night long.
1Σαμ. 15:13:And when SamuEl reached Saul, he said to him, ‘Saul, you were blest by Jehovah and I’ve told you everything that He said to me.
1Σαμ. 15:15:And Saul replied, ‘My men took them from the Amalechites. We only took the best of the herds, and we’re going to use them as sacrifices to your God Jehovah… we destroyed all the rest.’
1Σαμ. 15:16:And SamuEl said to Saul, ‘Listen and I’ll tell you what Jehovah said to me last night!’ And [Saul] said, ‘Speak!’
1Σαμ. 15:17:Then SamuEl said, ‘Weren’t you just a nobody before you became the chief of Israel? And wasn’t it Jehovah who anointed you to be the king of Israel?
1Σαμ. 15:18:Then Jehovah sent you here and He told you to go and destroy the Amalechites for sinning against Him… He told you to war against them until you destroyed them all!
1Σαμ. 15:19:Yet, you didn’t pay attention to what He said, for you took a lot of loot and you acted wickedly before Jehovah.’
1Σαμ. 15:20:And Saul replied, ‘Well, I did this because I was listening to the people. I [personally] followed Jehovah’s instructions; and although I took the Amalechite king captive, I killed all his people.
1Σαμ. 15:21:It was my men who took their flocks, herds, good things, and food… but they took it in order to sacrifice it before Jehovah our God in GilGal.’
1Σαμ. 15:22:And SamuEl asked, ‘Does Jehovah prefer whole burnt offerings and sacrifices, or does He want you to listen to what He says? Look! Obeying is better than sacrificing, and paying attention is better than the fat of rams!
1Σαμ. 15:23:Now, this sin is an omen of the grief and misery that’s going to come upon you. Because of the contempt you’ve shown for the words of Jehovah, Jehovah is going to treat you with contempt, and you’ll no longer be the king of Israel.’
1Σαμ. 15:24:Then Saul said to SamuEl, ‘I have sinned by violating the instructions that you gave me from Jehovah. But I was afraid of the people, so I did whatever they asked.
1Σαμ. 15:25:Now, please take away my sin and reinstate me [as king], and I’ll prostrate myself before your God Jehovah!’
1Σαμ. 15:26:But SamuEl replied, ‘I won’t reinstate you, because you’ve treated the words of Jehovah with contempt. And now Jehovah is going to treat you with contempt by removing you as king over Israel.’
1Σαμ. 15:28:And SamuEl said to him, ‘That’s how Jehovah has torn your kingship over Israel from your hands today, and He’s going to give it to your neighbor; someone who’s better than you.
1Σαμ. 15:30:And again, Saul said, ‘I have sinned! Please glorify me before the elders of my people and before Israel. Come back to me and I’ll prostrate myself before your God Jehovah!’
1Σαμ. 15:31:But SamuEl just walked around Saul, and then he bowed before Jehovah.
1Σαμ. 15:33:And SamuEl replied, ‘As you have used your sword to make orphans and widows, your mother is going to be childless.’ Then SamuEl killed AgAg there in the presence of Jehovah in GilGal.
1Σαμ. 15:35:and SamuEl never went to see Saul again until the day he died. Yet, he mourned over Saul, for Jehovah was unhappy that He had appointed Saul as king over Israel.
1Σαμ. 16:1:Then Jehovah asked SamuEl, ‘How long are you going to mourn for Saul? Don’t I treat him with contempt, and am I not removing his rulership from Israel? Now, fill your horn with oil and come, because I’m sending you to Jesse in BethLehem… for I have found My king among his sons.’
1Σαμ. 16:2:And SamuEl asked, ‘How can I go there… won’t Saul hear about it and kill me?’ And Jehovah replied, ‘Take along a brown heifer cow and say, I’m going to offer a sacrifice to Jehovah.
1Σαμ. 16:4:So, SamuEl did everything that Jehovah said… he went to BethLehem. But the city elders were startled when they saw him, and they asked, ‘Is your mission here peaceful?’
1Σαμ. 16:5:And he replied, ‘Peace! I’ve come to sacrifice to Jehovah. So make yourselves holy, then come and recline with me [and share in] the sacrifice!’ Then he went [to the house of] Jesse and made him and his sons holy, and invited them to the sacrifice.
1Σαμ. 16:6:And when they got there, he said to [Jesse’s eldest son] EliAb, ‘What stands before [me] is Jehovah’s anointed.’
1Σαμ. 16:7:Then Jehovah said to SamuEl, ‘Don’t pay any attention to what [a man] looks like, nor treat his size with contempt, for God doesn’t look at what a man appears to be on the surface… He sees what’s in the heart.’
1Σαμ. 16:8:So Jesse called AminAdab to stand before SamuEl. And [SamuEl] said, ‘This isn’t the one that Jehovah has chosen.’
1Σαμ. 16:9:Then Jesse brought ShamMah forward. But [SamuEl] said, ‘Nor has Jehovah chosen this one.’
1Σαμ. 16:10:Well, Jesse sent seven of his sons to stand before SamuEl, and he said to Jesse, ‘Jehovah hasn’t chosen any of these.’
1Σαμ. 16:12:So they sent for [David] and brought him there. [Now, David] had a ruddy complexion, beautiful eyes, and he was very handsome. Then Jehovah said to SamuEl, ‘Get up and anoint him, for he’s the one!’
1Σαμ. 16:13:So, SamuEl took his horn full of oil and anointed him there in the midst of his brothers, and the Breath of Jehovah came to be upon David from that day forward. Then SamuEl got up and returned to RamAh.
1Σαμ. 16:14:Well, the Breath of Jehovah then left Saul, and Jehovah brought a ferocious smothering spirit over him.
1Σαμ. 16:15:So, even Saul’s servants were saying, ‘Look! For, a fact, there’s a ferocious spirit from Jehovah that’s smothering you!
1Σαμ. 16:18:And one of his servants said: ‘Look, I’ve seen the son of the BethLehemite Jesse, who knows how to play. He’s very alert, he’s a warrior, he’s good with words, he’s handsome, and Jehovah is with him.’
1Σαμ. 17:37:And David said, ‘It is Jehovah who rescued me from [the mouth] of the lion and the bear, so He will rescue me from the hands of this uncircumcised Philistine.’ Then Saul said to David, ‘Well then, go… and may Jehovah be with you!’
1Σαμ. 17:45:And David said to the Philistine, ‘You’re coming to me with a broadsword, a spear, and a shield; but I’m coming to you in the Name of Jehovah the God of armies… the God of the army of Israel who you’re making fun of today.
1Σαμ. 17:46:May Jehovah give you into my hands, for I will kill you, then cut off your head and leave your body in the Philistine camp [where it will be eaten by] the flying creatures in the sky and the wild animals of the ground. Then they will know that the whole earth belongs to the God of Israel,
1Σαμ. 17:47:and these called ones will know that Jehovah doesn’t need their swords or spears to save them, for He’s the God of war, and He will save them from you!’
1Σαμ. 18:12:Well, Saul came to fear David, for he realized that Jehovah was with him, so he finally had to leave Saul’s [house].
1Σαμ. 18:14:for David was capable in everything he did, and Jehovah was with him.
1Σαμ. 18:17:Then Saul said to David, ‘Look, I’ll give you my older daughter Merab as your wife, so you can be a powerful son to me. And then you can [lead] the battles of Jehovah!’ Well, what Saul [was thinking] was: ‘That way I won’t have to kill him, I’ll let the Philistines do it for me.’
1Σαμ. 18:28:Well, when Saul saw this, he knew for sure that Jehovah was with David, and his daughter Michal and all Israel loved him.
1Σαμ. 19:5:Why, he put his life on the line when he struck down the Philistine, and Jehovah brought a great salvation that day… then all Israel saw it and rejoiced. So, why do you want to sin against the blood of an innocent man and kill David when he hasn’t really been charged with anything?’
1Σαμ. 19:6:Well, Saul [was moved by] what JoNathan had to say, and he swore an oath, saying, ‘As Jehovah lives, he shall [live]!’
1Σαμ. 19:9:But then the ferocious Breath of Jehovah came upon Saul as he was sitting his house (with a spear in his hand), and David was there playing his [harp].
1Σαμ. 20:3:But David told JoNathan, ‘Your father knows that I’ve found favor in your eyes, so he told the others, Don’t tell JoNathan, because he cares for him. But as Jehovah lives and as you live, I tell you that the only thing certain between your father and me is death.’
1Σαμ. 20:8:‘Now, you’ve shown great mercy to your servant, for you’ve made an agreement between you and me before Jehovah. And if you think your servant has done anything wrong, then condemn me to death and take me to your father.’
1Σαμ. 20:12:Then JoNathan said to David, ‘Jehovah the God of Israel knows that I’ll question my father at least two or three times. And if things look good for you, I’m not going to send you to [live in] the fields.
1Σαμ. 20:13:For, may God [curse] me and add to it if I’ll allow anything bad to happen to you. [However, if the message is bad], I’ll tell you and send you away in peace. Then Jehovah will have to watch over you as He once did my father.
1Σαμ. 20:14:‘Now, you’ve met with me while I’m alive, and after I die (by the mercy of Jehovah),
1Σαμ. 20:15:[please] be merciful to my house through the age. And when Jehovah destroys the enemies of David from the face of the earth,
1Σαμ. 20:16:may the name of JoNathan always remain in the house of David, even if Jehovah should allow me to die at the hands of your enemies.’
1Σαμ. 20:21:And when I send my servant to look for them, if I say to him, Here they are in front of you, come pick them up,’ you may come back, because everything is peaceful. As Jehovah lives, let’s do it this way, so there’s no miscommunication.
1Σαμ. 20:22:But if I tell the young man, The arrows are way beyond you, I’ll be sending you away to Jehovah!
1Σαμ. 20:23:‘Now concerning these things that you and I have agreed to; may Jehovah serve as the witness between you and me through the age.’
1Σαμ. 20:42:Then JoNathan said to David, ‘Go in peace! And as we both swore an oath in the Name of the Lord; Jehovah is the witness between you and me, and between my seed and your seed through the ages.’ Then David got up and left, and JoNathan returned to the city.
1Σαμ. 21:6:So, the Priest removed the loaves from the presence of Jehovah and gave it to them, because there was no other bread nearby, and [David] took them.
1Σαμ. 21:7:Now on that day, there was a certain servant of Saul [who had come to worship] before Jehovah. He was called Doyo the Edomite. And at the time, he was out feeding Saul’s mules.
1Σαμ. 22:17:Then he told his guards who were standing there, ‘Take them out and kill the Priests of Jehovah, because they’ve sided with David. They knew where he had run and they didn’t tell me!’ However, the [guards] weren’t willing to lift a hand against the Priests of Jehovah.
1Σαμ. 22:18:So, he said to Doyo, ‘Then you [kill] the Priests.’ And Doyo the Edomite slaughtered the Priests of Jehovah that day… eighty-five men who wore the sacred vests.
1Σαμ. 22:21:Now, when AbiAthar told David that Saul had executed all the Priests of Jehovah, David said, ‘I knew that this would happen when I saw Doyo the Edomite…
1Σαμ. 23:2:So David asked Jehovah: ‘Shall I go and fight these Philistines?’ And Jehovah replied: ‘Go fight the Philistines, and you’ll save KeiLah!’
1Σαμ. 23:4:So, David went and asked Jehovah again, and Jehovah replied, ‘Go go down to KeiLah, for I’m giving the Philistines into your hands!’
1Σαμ. 23:10:Then David prayed, ‘O Jehovah, God of Israel; please hear Your servant, for Saul is planning to attack me in KeiLah. Why, he’ll destroy the whole city because of me.
1Σαμ. 23:11:So, should we lock it up? For Saul will surely come here, now that he has heard that your servant is here, O Lord, the God of Israel. Please tell your servant what to do.’ And Jehovah replied, ‘Lock it up!’
1Σαμ. 23:12:And David asked: ‘Then, will the people of KeiLah hand me and my men over to Saul?’ And Jehovah replied, ‘Yes they will, to save themselves.’
1Σαμ. 23:14:Then from there, David traveled to the desert, where he lived in narrow passes, and he settled in the Ziph Desert. Well, Saul kept searching for him for quite a long time, but Jehovah kept him out of Saul’s hands.
1Σαμ. 23:16:And then Saul’s son JoNathan came to David in New City, which strengthened his faith in Jehovah.
1Σαμ. 23:18:And they [once again] made an agreement there in the presence of Jehovah. Well, David stayed in New City, but JoNathan returned home.
1Σαμ. 23:21:And Saul replied, ‘May Jehovah bless you for coming to me.
1Σαμ. 24:4:So David’s men said to him: ‘Look! This is the day that Jehovah spoke to you about when He said, I will give your enemy into your hands and you may deal with him in any way you wish.’ Well, David crept up to Saul [while he was sleeping] and quietly cut the fringe off his robe.
1Σαμ. 24:6:And he said to his men, ‘Jehovah certainly didn’t mean for me to do such a thing to my lord. I should never have raised a hand against him, because he truly is the anointed of Jehovah.’
1Σαμ. 24:10:For look! Today you’ve seen with your own eyes how Jehovah gave you into my hands, and I didn’t want to kill you… I spared you. I said, I won’t lift a hand against my lord, because he’s the anointed of Jehovah.
1Σαμ. 24:12:So, may Jehovah judge between you and me, and may He find me righteous when it comes to you, because He knows that I wouldn’t lift a hand against you.
1Σαμ. 24:15:May Jehovah be the judge! And may He serve as judge between me and you. Yes, may Jehovah look down and judge my case, and may He save me from your hands.’
1Σαμ. 24:18:Then you [took the time to] tell me about these good things, and of how Jehovah gave me into your hands, but you didn’t kill me.
1Σαμ. 24:19:For, what other man, if he were to find his enemy vulnerable, would be good enough to send him away? So, may Jehovah repay the goodness that you’ve shown today.
1Σαμ. 24:21:So, [please] swear an oath to me by Jehovah, that you won’t destroy me or my seed, and that you’ll never remove my name from the house of my father.’
1Σαμ. 25:26:But, O my lord; as Jehovah lives and as you live, may Jehovah keep you from shedding the blood of the innocent, for in so doing you may save your own life. And may your enemies who are trying to do bad things become as NaBal.
1Σαμ. 25:28:Then forgive your female servant, and may Jehovah make the house of my master one that can be trusted. May Jehovah fight your wars and may He never find you guilty of anything evil.
1Σαμ. 25:29:And if any man chases you and tries to kill you, may Jehovah God save the life of my master, and may the lives of your enemies be thrown down as with a sling.
1Σαμ. 25:30:And may Jehovah do all the good things for you that He said He would do and make you the leader over Israel.
1Σαμ. 25:31:‘So, please don’t offend your heart by doing this terrible thing to my master, and don’t shed innocent blood without a reason. Please save my master from himself, and then Jehovah will do good things for you… and don’t overlook your female servant or fail to treat her kindly.’
1Σαμ. 25:32:Then David said to AbiGail, ‘Praise Jehovah the God of Israel who sent you to me today.
1Σαμ. 25:34:As Jehovah the God of Israel lives, you’ve kept me from doing something bad to you. And if you hadn’t hurried and come to meet me here, none in the house of NaBal who can urinate against a wall would have lived to see the light of dawn.’
1Σαμ. 25:38:And after ten days, Jehovah struck NaBal and he died.
1Σαμ. 25:39:Well, when David heard that NaBal had died, he said, ‘May Jehovah be praised, for He judged the case of my being scorned by NaBal, and He brought NaBal’s evil down upon his own head. Yet, He kept His servant from doing anything bad.’ Then David sent for AbiGail, because he was talking about taking her as his wife.
1Σαμ. 26:8:So, AbiShai said to David, ‘Jehovah has given your enemy into your hands today, so I’m going to run him through with his spear… I’ll only do it once, because I won’t have to do it a second time.’
1Σαμ. 26:9:But David said, ‘No, don’t kill him; for who can lift a hand against the anointed of Jehovah and not be guilty?’
1Σαμ. 26:10:And he added, ‘As Jehovah lives, it is up to the Lord to strike him and kill him, or for him to die in battle and to be [buried] with his ancestors.
1Σαμ. 26:11:For, Jehovah hasn’t instructed me to raise a hand against His anointed. So, we’ll just take the spear that’s next to his head, and his canteen of water, and leave.’
1Σαμ. 26:12:Then David picked up [Saul’s] spear and canteen, and they left… and no one saw them or knew that they had been there, for no one woke up. All were sleeping tightly, because Jehovah had put them to sleep.
1Σαμ. 26:16:so what you’ve done is not a good thing! As Jehovah lives, you are sons of death for not guarding your lord the king… the anointed of Jehovah. Now look! Where is the king’s spear… and where’s his canteen of water… these things that he kept by his head?’
1Σαμ. 26:19:‘And now listen, O my lord the king, to the words of his servant: If it’s God that’s sending you against me, then may you smell your sacrifice. But if it’s the sons of men, may they be cursed before Jehovah. Because, they’ve driven me away from the inheritance I received from Jehovah, saying, Go and serve other gods!
1Σαμ. 26:20:Now, may my blood not be spilled on the ground away from the face of Jehovah, for the king of Israel is searching for a flea the way he hunts for long-eared owls in the mountains.’
1Σαμ. 26:23:For, Jehovah will repay each one for his righteousness and faithfulness, as Jehovah saved you from my hands today, since I didn’t wish to raise a hand against the anointed of Jehovah.
1Σαμ. 28:6:Then he started asking [the direction of Jehovah], but Jehovah wouldn’t answer him in his dreams, give him signs, or answer through the Prophets.
1Σαμ. 28:10:And Saul swore an oath to her by God, saying, ‘As Jehovah lives, I won’t treat you unjustly in this matter.’
1Σαμ. 28:16:And SamuEl replied, ‘Then why are you asking me, if Jehovah has left you and taken up with your neighbor?
1Σαμ. 28:17:For, Jehovah has just done the things to you that I told you He would do. He will rip your kingdom from your hands and give it to your neighbor David,
1Σαμ. 28:19:So, Jehovah will give Israel into the hands of the Philistines, and by tomorrow you and your sons will be with me, while the camp of Israel will be handed over to the Philistines.’
1Σαμ. 29:6:So, AchIsh called David and said to him, ‘As Jehovah lives, I know that you’re a good and honest man, and that’s why I invited you with me to the camp. For, I haven’t found anything evil in you since you came to me. But the governors don’t trust you;
1Σαμ. 30:6:which hurt David so much that his men said they should stone him, because he was so grieved over the people, and for each of his sons and daughters. However, his God Jehovah then gave him strength,
1Σαμ. 30:8:and David asked Jehovah, ‘Should I chase after them?’ And Jehovah replied, ‘Chase after them; for if you chase them, you’ll catch up with them and rescue [your people].’
1Σαμ. 30:23:However, David said, ‘You must not mistreat the brothers of this confederation. For, it was Jehovah who guarded us and gave the enemy to us, and it was He who saved the troops that came with us.
1Σαμ. 30:26:Well, when David got back to Ziklag, he sent [a portion of] the spoils to the elders of Judah, and he gave some to his neighbors, saying, ‘Look, here’s a blessing from the spoils of the enemies of Jehovah.’
2Σαμ. 1:14:And David asked him, ‘So, why weren’t you afraid to lift your hand and kill the anointed one of Jehovah?’
2Σαμ. 1:16:For David said to him, ‘Your blood is on your own head, because your own mouth spoke against you when you said I have killed the anointed one of Jehovah.’
2Σαμ. 2:1:After that, David asked Jehovah, ‘Should I return to one of the cities of Judah now?’ And Jehovah answered, ‘Go!’ Then David asked where he should go, and Jehovah answered, ‘To Hebron.’
2Σαμ. 2:5:So, David sent messengers to the leaders of JabIsh of Gilead, who said to them, ‘You are blest by Jehovah for showing such mercy to your lord Saul, the anointed of God, by building a tomb for him and his son JoNathan.
2Σαμ. 2:6:Now, may Jehovah give you mercy and truth, and I will treat you in the same [kind] way that you’ve treated [Saul and JoNathan].
2Σαμ. 2:27:And JoAb said, ‘As Jehovah lives; it’s a good thing that you said this, otherwise our people would have been chasing each other all night long!’
2Σαμ. 3:9:As Jehovah swore by an oath to David, may God curse AbNer and add to it if I don’t do the same thing.
2Σαμ. 3:18:And this is the time for you to act, for Jehovah has said concerning David, I will deliver Israel from the hands of the Philistines and all their other enemies at the hands of David!
2Σαμ. 3:28:Then, when David heard about it, he said, ‘My kingdom and I are innocent before Jehovah through the ages over the blood of AbNer, the son of Ner.
2Σαμ. 3:39:Why, I feel like one of his close relatives and as someone who has stood in the presence of a king. But these men, these sons of ZeruJah, are hard for me to bear. May Jehovah repay the one who did this wicked thing with the evil that he deserves.’
2Σαμ. 4:8:they brought IshBosheth’s head to David in Hebron and said to the king, ‘Look, here’s the head of Saul’s son IshBosheth… your enemy who would have killed you. Jehovah has given him to our lord the king in punishment of the enemies of his seed. For, Saul and his seed have been your enemies to this day.’
2Σαμ. 4:9:But David told Rechab and his brother BaAna, ‘As Jehovah (the One who has protected my life) lives;
2Σαμ. 5:3:Then all the elders of Israel came [and met with] the king in Hebron, and King David made a treaty with them there in Hebron, in the presence of Jehovah. Then they anointed David to be the king over all Israel.
2Σαμ. 5:8:Then he told his men, ‘Everyone who cuts down a Jebusite should also use his dagger on the lame, the blind, and on anyone else who hates the life of David. And because of this, people will say, The blind and the lame will never enter the house of Jehovah.’
2Σαμ. 5:10:And from then on, David kept getting greater, because Jehovah the Almighty was with him.
2Σαμ. 5:12:Now, David knew that it was Jehovah who had made him king over Israel, and it was He who was blessing [David’s] kingdom, because of His people Israel.
2Σαμ. 5:19:So, David went to Jehovah and asked, ‘Should I fight the Philistines, and will You give them into my hands?’ And Jehovah replied, ‘Go, for I will save you and give the Philistines into your hands!’
2Σαμ. 5:20:So, David attacked them from the mountain passes and breached their lines, defeating the Philistines. And David said, ‘Jehovah cut through my enemies the Philistines like He cuts through water. So, because of this, we will name this place the High Breaches.’
2Σαμ. 5:23:So, David asked of Jehovah, and Jehovah replied, ‘Don’t confront them, go around them to the other side of the Forest of Tears, and I will give them into your hands.
2Σαμ. 5:25:So, David did just as Jehovah told him, and he cut down the Philistines from Gibeon to the land of GeZer.
2Σαμ. 6:2:Then he and all his men (along with rulers from Judah) went on an expedition to bring back the Chest of God that was used to call on the Name of Jehovah of armies… the one that has the [covering of] cherubs on it.
2Σαμ. 6:3:So, they went to the house of AminiDab (the one on the hill), and picked up the Chest of Jehovah and put it on a new wagon. And the sons of AminiDab led the wagon that carried the Chest.
2Σαμ. 6:5:David and his men were dancing in front of Jehovah and playing musical instruments… they were playing appropriate lively tunes on lyres, harps, tambourines, cymbals, and pipes.
2Σαμ. 6:7:Well, this enraged Jehovah, so God struck Oza and he died there next to the Chest of Jehovah… in front of God.
2Σαμ. 6:8:Well, David was very depressed over Jehovah cutting down Oza. So, he called that place ‘the Cutting Down of Oza,’ which is what it is still called today.
2Σαμ. 6:9:Now, David became afraid of Jehovah that day, for he asked, ‘Then how can I bring the Chest of God with me?’
2Σαμ. 6:10:So he decided not to bring the Chest of the Sacred Agreement of Jehovah into his city. Rather, he turned and carried it to the house of ObedEdom, the GitTite,
2Σαμ. 6:11:and the Chest of Jehovah was kept there for three months. But as the result, Jehovah blest the household of ObedEdom and everything that he owned.
2Σαμ. 6:12:Well, when it was reported to King David that the house of ObedEdom and all his things were being blest because of the Chest of God, David went and took the Chest of Jehovah from there, and he [had it brought] into the city of David in a joyful [parade].
2Σαμ. 6:13:For, as the Chest of Jehovah was being transported, it was led by seven companies of dancers, along with a calf and lambs that were being brought for a sacrifice, and David [led the way] playing music that was appropriate in the presence of Jehovah.
2Σαμ. 6:15:And David and the whole house of Israel danced in front of the Chest of Jehovah, shouting, and blowing trumpets.
2Σαμ. 6:16:And as the Chest reached the city of David, Michal (Saul’s daughter) looked out her window and saw King David dancing and playing music before Jehovah, and in her heart she was disgusted.
2Σαμ. 6:17:Well, they brought the Chest of Jehovah and put it in its place, in the middle of the Tent that David had made for it, then David sacrificed whole burnt offerings and peace offerings before Jehovah.
2Σαμ. 6:18:And after he did this, David blest the people in the name of Jehovah of armies,
2Σαμ. 6:21:And David replied, ‘When I’m in the presence of Jehovah, I’m going to dance. May Jehovah, who chose me over your father and his house, be praised for allowing me to take the lead over His people Israel. So, I will play and dance in His presence,
2Σαμ. 7:1:Well, after Jehovah had conquered all [of David’s] enemies around him, the king was sitting in his palace,
2Σαμ. 7:3:And Nathan said to the king, ‘Then do whatever your heart moves you to do, because Jehovah is with you!’
2Σαμ. 7:4:But that night, the word of Jehovah came to Nathan, which said,
2Σαμ. 7:5:‘Go and speak to My servant David, and tell him that this is what Jehovah says: You are not to build a house for Me to live in,
2Σαμ. 7:8:Then tell my servant David that Jehovah the almighty says: I took you out of the sheep pens to be the leader over My people Israel,
2Σαμ. 7:11:back when I put judges over my people Israel. It is then that I will allow you to rest from all your enemies, and I will instruct you to build a House for Jehovah.
2Σαμ. 7:18:Then King David went in and sat before Jehovah and asked, ‘Just who am I, O my Lord Jehovah, and what is my house that You’re showing such love for me?
2Σαμ. 7:19:Why, I was once very small before you, O my Lord Jehovah, yet You spoke about my house long ahead of time. So, what laws are you giving me, O my Lord,
2Σαμ. 7:20:and what should David say before You? ‘Now, You know Your servant, O my Lord Jehovah,
2Σαμ. 7:22:You have brought about all these great things to let your servant know that he should glorify You, O my Lord Jehovah, for there is no one else like You, and we’ve heard of no God other than You.
2Σαμ. 7:25:‘And now, O my Lord Jehovah; may the things that You said about Your servant and his house prove true through the ages, just as You said.
2Σαμ. 7:27:Jehovah – the Almighty God over Israel – be glorified through the ages. For, You have uncovered the ears of your servant and told me that I shall build a House for You. This is why Your servant’s heart has been moved to pray this prayer to You.
2Σαμ. 7:29:Therefore, start blessing the house of Your servant that will stand before You through the ages. For You, O my Lord Jehovah, have spoken, and You’ve promised to bless the house of your servant through the ages.’
2Σαμ. 8:6:Then David sent a detachment to Syria, where they garrisoned near Damascus, and the Syrians had to pay a tribute to David also. So, Jehovah was with David wherever he went.
2Σαμ. 8:11:which King David dedicated to Jehovah, as he had done with all the silver and gold that he had taken from the cities that he’d conquered…
2Σαμ. 8:14:Then he put detachments throughout all of Idumea, and the Idumeans became the king’s servants. Well, no matter where he went, Jehovah was with David,
2Σαμ. 10:12:However, we must act like men, for if we are strong for our people and the cities of our God, then Jehovah will do what He sees is best!’
2Σαμ. 11:27:Then, after her period of mourning, David sent for her and had her brought to his palace. So he married her and she gave birth to his son. Well, this whole thing appeared wicked in the eyes of Jehovah.
2Σαμ. 12:1:So, Jehovah sent the Prophet Nathan to David… he went in and said to him, ‘There were two men who lived in the same city, one was rich, and the other was poor.
2Σαμ. 12:5:Well, David was outraged about this man and said, ‘As Jehovah lives, this man deserves to die!
2Σαμ. 12:7:And Nathan said to David, ‘You are the man who did this. And this is what Jehovah the God of Israel says: I’m the One who anointed you to be king over Israel, and I’m the One who saved you from the hands of Saul.
2Σαμ. 12:9:So, why have you treated the word of Jehovah as worthless by doing this wicked thing in His eyes? For, you cut down UriJah the Hittite with the broadsword and took his wife as yours, because, when the sons of AmMon killed him, you really killed him.
2Σαμ. 12:11:‘This is what Jehovah says: Look, I will cause evil things to awaken in your own house, and I will take your wives from before you and give them to your neighbor, and he will go to bed with them in the daylight…
2Σαμ. 12:13:Then David said to Nathan, ‘I have sinned against Jehovah.’ And Nathan said to David, ‘Well, Jehovah has forgiven your sin, so you’re not going to die.
2Σαμ. 12:14:However, in doing such an unrighteous thing, you even made the enemies of Jehovah angry; so the son that will be born to you will die.’
2Σαμ. 12:15:Then Nathan left David’s palace, and Jehovah caused the child that was born to the wife of UriJah by David to be sickly and weak.
2Σαμ. 12:22:And David replied, ‘I fasted and cried while the boy was still living, because I hoped that Jehovah would show mercy on me and allow the boy to live.
2Σαμ. 12:24:Then David went to comfort his wife BathSheba. Well, he went to bed with her again, and she got pregnant and gave birth to a son who she named Solomon… and Jehovah loved him.
2Σαμ. 12:25:So He sent Nathan the Prophet, who renamed him JediDiJah, following Jehovah’s instructions.
2Σαμ. 14:11:And the woman said, ‘May Jehovah your God remind the king not to allow them to take away my son, so our family line [may continue].’ And he said, ‘As Jehovah lives, not a hair of your son’s head will fall on the ground.’
2Σαμ. 14:17:And they told me that the words of my lord the king would be as good as a sacrifice. For my lord the king is like a messenger from God, in that you listen to both the good and the bad. So, may Jehovah your God be with you.’
2Σαμ. 15:7:Then, at the end of forty years, AbSalom went to his father and said, ‘I’m going to Hebron to pay something that I vowed to Jehovah.
2Σαμ. 15:8:For, while I was in GedSur Syria, I vowed to Jehovah that if He would return me to Jerusalem, I would be His servant.’
2Σαμ. 15:20:you’ve just joined me, so are you [now planning to] travel with us… are you moving away from your homes?’ And he replied, ‘I will go wherever you are going.’ [But David said], ‘Go back, and take your brothers with you, for Jehovah will bring you kindness and truth!
2Σαμ. 15:21:But ItTai replied to the king, ‘As Jehovah lives, and as my lord the king lives, no matter what happens to my lord… whether he lives or dies, I will be your servant.’
2Σαμ. 15:24:{Look!} Then they saw Zadok and all the Levites carrying the Chest of the Sacred Agreement of Jehovah from the [Tent of God]. Well, they set the Chest of God down, and AbiAthar came to him as all the people came from the city [of Jerusalem].
2Σαμ. 15:25:Then the king said to Zadok, ‘Take the Chest of God back to the city. For, if I should find favor in the eyes of Jehovah and He returns me, then He will show it to me in all His glory.
2Σαμ. 15:31:Well, when David was told that AhiThophel had joined the confederation with AbSalom, he said, ‘O Jehovah my God; Confuse the counsel of AhiThophel!’
2Σαμ. 16:8:for Jehovah has brought all the blood of the house of Saul on you for taking his place as the ruler. And now He has given the kingdom into the hand of your son AbSalom. So, you’ve received some of your own badness, because you’re a murderer!’
2Σαμ. 16:10:And the king said to AbiShai, ‘What difference does it make to me and to you sons of ZeruJah? Leave him alone and let him curse, because Jehovah told him to curse David. So there’s no reason to ask him why he’s doing this.’
2Σαμ. 16:11:And David said to AbiShai and his servants, ‘Why, my son who came from my own belly wants to kill me, so let the son of the BenJaminite curse, because Jehovah told him to do it.
2Σαμ. 16:12:Now, may Jehovah look at my humiliation and provide good things for me in place of his curses today.’
2Σαμ. 16:18:And HushAi said, ‘First; I’ll follow whoever Jehovah and His people (the men of Israel) have chosen. I will stick with him and stay with him.
2Σαμ. 17:14:Well, AbSalom and all the men of Israel said, ‘The counsel of HushAi the Arachite is better than the counsel of AhiThophel.’ (However, it was Jehovah who caused the good counsel of AhiThophel to lose out, so He could bring bad things to AbSalom).
2Σαμ. 18:19:Thereafter, AhiMaAz (the son of Zadok) said, ‘Run and bring the good news to the king that Jehovah has passed judgment on his enemies.’
2Σαμ. 18:28:Then AhiMaAz yelled to the king, ‘Peace!’ as he bowed to the ground before the king. And he said, ‘Praise your God Jehovah, for he has closed the mouths of those who have raised their hands against my lord the king.’
2Σαμ. 18:31:Then HushAi came and said to the king, ‘I have good news to announce to my lord the king, for today Jehovah has passed judgment upon all those who opposed you!’
2Σαμ. 19:7:‘Now get up… go out and talk to your servants! Tell them how you really feel! For I swear by Jehovah, that unless you go out there today, there won’t be a man standing with you tonight. Realize that the evil you’re doing here is worse that all the evil things that have happened to you since you were young.’
2Σαμ. 19:21:But AbiShai (the son of ZeruJah) asked, ‘Shouldn’t Shemei be put to death for cursing the anointed of Jehovah?’
2Σαμ. 20:19:Now, I’m one of the peaceful ones who is in support of Israel, but you’re planning to destroy a city… and a mother-city of Israel at that. So, why would you sink the inheritance of Jehovah?’
2Σαμ. 21:1:Well, there were three consecutive years of famine in the days of David, so he asked Jehovah, and Jehovah said: ‘This has happened because the house of Saul is guilty of shedding [innocent] blood when he killed the Gibeonites.’
2Σαμ. 21:3:Then David asked the Gibeonites, ‘What must I do for you… what must I do to [pay for our sins], and to get you to bless the inheritance of Jehovah?’
2Σαμ. 21:6:Therefore, give us seven of his descendants and we will hang them in the sun before Jehovah in Saul’s town of Gibeon.’ And the king said, ‘I will give them to you.’
2Σαμ. 21:7:However, the king spared MephiBosheth (the son of JoNathan and the grandson of Saul), because of the oath that Jehovah had made between them… between David and JoNathan (Saul’s son).
2Σαμ. 21:9:Then he handed them over to the Gibeonites, and they hung them on the mountain in the sun before Jehovah. And there they fell – all seven of them together. Well, this happened at the beginning of the barley harvest.
2Σαμ. 22:1:Well, after Jehovah had rescued David from the hands of Saul and all his enemies, he sang this song to Jehovah:
2Σαμ. 22:2:Jehovah is my rock and my fortress; He’s the One who comes to my rescue.
2Σαμ. 22:7:But in my pain I called on Jehovah, Yes, then I yelled to my God. And from His great Temple He Heard me… My voice and my cries reached His ears.
2Σαμ. 22:14:He thundered from out of the sky; Jehovah shouted from up above.
2Σαμ. 22:16:Then the things in the sea were exposed; The foundations of man’s habitation; They were accusations from Jehovah… The breath of the spirit of His rage.
2Σαμ. 22:19:He anticipated the problems that I’d face, And Jehovah became my stabilization.
2Σαμ. 22:21:For Jehovah has repaid my righteousness; He pays me back for the cleanness of my hands.
2Σαμ. 22:22:For I paid attention to the ways of Jehovah… I wasn’t impious to my God.
2Σαμ. 22:29:My lamp You will light, O Jehovah… My Lord gives me light in the darkness.
2Σαμ. 22:31:Yes, flawless are the ways of the Almighty… And the sayings of Jehovah are refined. He’s the defender of all who obey Him,
2Σαμ. 22:32:Yes, who is as strong as Jehovah? And who but our God can create?
2Σαμ. 22:42:They yelled, but no help came from Jehovah, For to them He never would listen.
2Σαμ. 22:47:As Jehovah lives, may my Guardian be praised… May my God who guards me be raised high.
2Σαμ. 22:48:For Jehovah is strong and brings vengeance, And He corrects the people who serve me.
2Σαμ. 22:50:And for this I’ll praise You to the nations. O Jehovah; I’ll strum tunes to Your Name.
2Σαμ. 23:1:And these were the last words of David. David (the son of Jesse) was a trustworthy man who Jehovah elevated to the position of the anointed of the God of Jacob. He also wrote many of the beautiful psalms of Israel.
2Σαμ. 23:2:‘The Breath of Jehovah spoke by me, And His words were there on my tongue.
2Σαμ. 23:5:It is He who made my house strong, And made it firm through the ages, With a sacred agreement He concluded with me. ‘He has always guarded and saved me, So I’ll serve Jehovah and not break His Laws.
2Σαμ. 23:10:and kept killing Philistines until his hand got tired, so he tied his sword to his hand [and kept fighting]. Jehovah gave him a great victory that day, and the only reason why the people had to return to [the field] was just to strip the dead.
2Σαμ. 23:16:it was these same three mighty ones who tore up the camp of the Philistines, drew water from the well that was in BethLehem, and brought it to David. However, he wouldn’t drink it, but offered it to Jehovah instead.
2Σαμ. 23:17:For he said, ‘Please be kind to me, O Jehovah, for offering this. Yes, how could I drink it after these men risked their blood and their lives to bring it to me?’ So, he didn’t drink it. However, these three mighty ones did these things.
2Σαμ. 24:1:Well, the anger of Jehovah started to burn in Israel, for David was moved to say, ‘Go and take a census of Israel and Judah!’
2Σαμ. 24:3:But JoAb said to the king, ‘May Jehovah your God add to your people, and may you find that they have grown to be a hundred times greater. However, my Lord the king, why would you want to do you such a thing?’
2Σαμ. 24:10:Well, after he had the census performed, David [was ashamed] of what he had done, and he said to Jehovah: ‘I have really sinned by doing this thing. And now, O Lord, please overlook this lawlessness on the part of your servant, for I was very foolish.’
2Σαμ. 24:11:But when David got up the next morning, [he found that] the word of Jehovah had come to the Prophet Gad, the Seer, who was told,
2Σαμ. 24:12:‘Go and speak to David. Tell him that this is what Jehovah has said: I am giving you your choice of three [penalties]. You must choose the one you prefer, and I will bring it against you!
2Σαμ. 24:14:And David said to Gad: ‘Those are all tough choices, but of the three, I choose to put myself into the hands of Jehovah, because He is very compassionate. He will never allow me to fall into the hands of [my enemies].’
2Σαμ. 24:15:So David chose the death. Now, it was the season of the wheat harvest when Jehovah sent death throughout Israel, from the morning until dinnertime, and devastation started among the people, killing seventy thousand men from Dan to BeerSheba.
2Σαμ. 24:16:Then the messenger of God turned his hand toward Jerusalem… to destroy it. However, [Jehovah then forgave] the evil that was done, and He said to the messenger who was destroying the people, ‘That’s enough!’ Well at the time, the messenger of Jehovah was at the threshing-floor of Orna the Jebusite.
2Σαμ. 24:17:And David said to Jehovah (when he saw the messenger striking the people), ‘Look… it it I who did the wrong! I’m the shepherd who sinned, and these are just the sheep… what have they done? May Your hand come against me and the house of my father instead!’
2Σαμ. 24:18:Then Gad came to David that day and said to him, ‘Now go and erect an Altar to Jehovah at the threshing-floor of Orna the Jebusite.’
2Σαμ. 24:19:So, following the instructions of the Prophet Gad, he did what Jehovah told him to do.
2Σαμ. 24:21:And Orna asked, ‘Why is my lord the king coming to his servant?’ And David replied, ‘To buy your threshing-floor from you, in order to build an Altar to Jehovah, so that He will stop destroying the people.’
2Σαμ. 24:22:And Orna said to David, ‘Then take it and offer it to Jehovah, my lord the king, and do whatever is good in your eyes. Look, here are some oxen to sacrifice as whole burnt-offerings… and use the wooden [ox-cart] and it wheels to burn [the sacrifice]!’
2Σαμ. 24:23:So, Orna offered it all to the king. And he said, ‘May Jehovah your God bless you.’
2Σαμ. 24:24:But the king said to Orna, ‘No, I want to purchase it from you for a price, because I won’t offer a whole burnt-offering to Jehovah my God free of charge.’ So, David bought the threshing floor and the oxen, paying for it with fifty large silver coins.
2Σαμ. 24:25:And there he built an Altar to Jehovah, where he sacrificed whole burnt offerings and peace offerings. Then [later on], Solomon added to the size of the Altar, because it was small at first. But [Jehovah’s favor] returned to the land, and He ended the devastation that He was bringing upon Israel.
1Βασ. 1:17:And she replied, ‘My lord, didn’t you swear to your handmaid by Jehovah your God, saying, Your son Solomon will reign after me and sit on my throne?
1Βασ. 1:29:Then the king swore [an oath to her] saying, ‘As Jehovah lives (who saved my life from all danger),
1Βασ. 1:30:and as I swore to you by Jehovah the God of Israel, saying, Your son Solomon will reign after me and sit on my throne after me, I’m saying the same thing today.’
1Βασ. 1:36:And BenaiJah (the son of JehoiAda) answered the king and said, ‘May it be! May Jehovah, the God of my lord the king, make it so.
1Βασ. 1:37:And as Jehovah was with my lord the king, let him be with Solomon; and may He raise his throne even higher than the throne of my lord King David.’
1Βασ. 1:48:For the king is saying: May Jehovah the God of Israel be praised, because today He has appointed one of my seed to sit on my throne while my eyes can still see it!
1Βασ. 2:3:Follow the instructions of Jehovah your God, walk in His ways, and follow the Commandments, rules, and decisions that are written about in the Law of Moses, so you’ll understand what you should do in all the things that I’ve told you.
1Βασ. 2:4:Then Jehovah will prove the thing that He promised: If your children will pay attention to the way that they should walk before Me in truth and with all their hearts, there will never fail to be a man who sits on the throne of Israel.
1Βασ. 2:8:‘And {Look!} there is Semei (the son of Gera – a BenJaminite of BaUrim) who is still among us. Yet, he brought a great curse on me when he came down to the Jordan to meet me as I was returning to Jerusalem. Then I swore to him by Jehovah that I wouldn’t use the sword to put him to death.
1Βασ. 2:15:And he said, ‘You know that the kingdom was mine, because all Israel turned to me as their king. But the kingdom was taken from me and it became my brother’s, because it was given to him by Jehovah.
1Βασ. 2:23:And then King Solomon swore an oath by Jehovah. He said, ‘May God curse me and add to it if AdoniJah hasn’t spoken these words against his own life.
1Βασ. 2:24:And now, as Jehovah lives – He who established me, set me on the throne of my father David, and made me a house, as Jehovah said – today AdoniJah will be put to death!’
1Βασ. 2:26:Then the king said to AbiAthar the Priest, ‘Now, go back to your farm in AnathOth quickly, because you also deserve death today. However, I’m not going to kill you, because you carried Jehovah’s Chest of the Sacred Agreement before my father, and because you also shared in all the sufferings of my father.’
1Βασ. 2:27:So, Solomon removed AbiAthar as the Priest of Jehovah, to fulfill the words that Jehovah spoke concerning the house of Heli in Salem.
1Βασ. 2:28:Well, the news of this reached JoAb (the son of ZeruJah), and because he had supported AdoniJah (not Solomon), he ran to the Tent of Jehovah and grabbed hold of the horns on the altar.
1Βασ. 2:29:And when Solomon was told, ‘JoAb has fled to the Tent of Jehovah, and look, he’s hanging onto the horns of the altar,’ he sent [a message] to JoAb, asking, ‘What’s wrong with you? Why have you fled to the altar?’ And JoAb replied, ‘Because I was afraid of you, I fled to Jehovah for refuge.’ Then Solomon sent BenaiJah (the son of JehoiAda), telling him, ‘Go and kill him, and then bury him.’
1Βασ. 2:30:Well, when BenaiJah (the son of JehoiAda) reached JoAb at the Tent of Jehovah, he said to him, ‘The king commands you to come out of there!’ And JoAb said, ‘I’m not coming out, for I’d rather die here!’ And BenaiJah (the son of JehoiAda) returned to the king and told him what JoAb said.
1Βασ. 2:32:For, Jehovah has brought the blood of his unrighteousness upon his own head, because he attacked two men who were more righteous and better than himself, killing them with his sword. Yet, my father David was unaware that he would kill AbNer (the son of Ner), the commander-in-chief of Israel, and AmesSa (the son of Jether), the commander-in-chief of Judah.
1Βασ. 2:33:And now their blood is on his head and on the head of his seed through the ages. But upon David, his seed, his house, and his throne, may there be peace from Jehovah through the ages.
1Βασ. 2:35:Thereafter, the king appointed BenaiJah (the son of JehoiAda) to be the commander-in-chief of his army, and his kingship became firm in Jerusalem. And as for Sadoc the Priest; the king appointed him the High Priest in place of AbiAthar. So, Solomon (the son of David) reigned over Israel and Judah from Jerusalem, and Jehovah gave Solomon as much wisdom, understanding, and greatness of heart as there is sand at the seashore. For, the wisdom of Solomon was greater than that of all the ancient peoples, and it was far greater than the wise men of Egypt.
1Βασ. 2:42:the king sent for Semei and said to him, ‘Didn’t you swear by Jehovah, and didn’t I warn you that if you left Jerusalem, whether to the right or the left, that you will surely die?
1Βασ. 2:43:So, why haven’t you kept your oath to Jehovah and followed the instructions that I gave you?’
1Βασ. 2:44:Then the king told Semei, ‘In your heart you know of all the bad things you’ve done, and of the bad things that you did to my father David. So now, Jehovah is bringing your badness down upon your own head…
1Βασ. 2:45:and King Solomon will be blest, and the throne of David will be established before Jehovah through the ages.’
1Βασ. 3:1:Well, under Solomon the kingdom was united. Then Solomon contracted a marriage with Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. He took the daughter of Pharaoh and brought her to the city of David. However, before that, he completed the building of his palace, the Temple of Jehovah, and the wall around Jerusalem.
1Βασ. 3:2:Now, before the Temple was built, the people were burning incense [to Jehovah] in the high places.
1Βασ. 3:3:And since Solomon loved Jehovah (and following the orders of his father David), he also offered his sacrifices and burnt incense there.
1Βασ. 3:5:and then Jehovah appeared to Solomon while he was sleeping that night. And Jehovah said, ‘Solomon; Ask for anything you might wish for yourself.’
1Βασ. 3:7:And now, O Jehovah my God; You have appointed Your servant in place of my father David, yet I’m just a boy who doesn’t even know when to enter and when to leave.
1Βασ. 3:10:And this thing that Solomon asked for was pleasing to Jehovah,
1Βασ. 3:15:Well, when Solomon woke up, he remembered the dream. Then he got up and returned to Jerusalem, and there he went and stood before the Altar, which was in front of the Chest of the Sacred Agreement of Jehovah in Zion. Then he sacrificed whole burnt offerings and peace offerings, and he held a great banquet for himself and for all his servants.
1Βασ. 4:29:Well, Jehovah gave intelligence and great wisdom to Solomon, and it kept growing in his heart like the sands of the sea.
1Βασ. 5:3:‘You know that my father David was unable to build a [Temple] to the Name of Jehovah my God, because of fighting the wars that were going on around him, and until Jehovah put his enemies under the soles of his feet.
1Βασ. 5:4:And now Jehovah my God has provided rest for me all around [my land], for there are no more plotters or wicked people near me.
1Βασ. 5:5:So, now I’m talking about building a [Temple] to the Name of Jehovah my God, for as He told my father David, Your son who I will put on your throne after you will build the [Temple] to My Name.
1Βασ. 5:12:Well, Jehovah gave Solomon the wisdom he had asked for, and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, for they had made a treaty between them.
1Βασ. 6:1:Well, it was in the four hundred and fortieth year after the sons Israel left Egypt (in the fourth year and second month of Solomon’s reign over Israel) that the foundation of the Temple of Jehovah was laid.
1Βασ. 6:11:Then Jehovah sent word to Solomon, saying,
1Βασ. 6:19:Inside the entryway, in the center of the Temple, a place was made to hold the Chest of the Sacred Agreement of Jehovah.
1Βασ. 7:41:And soon he had completed making all the things for King Solomon at the Temple of Jehovah – the two columns; the twisted decorations that were put on the capitals of the two columns; the carvings for the tops of the columns;
1Βασ. 7:45:and for the cooking pots, tongs, and bowls. He [personally] made all these things for King Solomon and for the Temple of Jehovah. All together, he [decorated] forty-eight columns for the palace of the king and for the Temple of Jehovah. And everything that Hiram made for the king was entirely of brass.
1Βασ. 7:48:Then Solomon went on to make the rest of the items for the Temple of Jehovah… the golden Altar, the gold table for the showbread,
1Βασ. 7:51:So, Solomon finally finished his ‘house’ for Jehovah. And he carried in all the holy things of David his father, as well as all his own holy things, including silver, gold, and other things for the treasury of the Temple of Jehovah.
1Βασ. 8:1:Then King Solomon held a meeting with all the elders of Israel there on [Mount] Zion, to talk about bringing the Chest of the Sacred Agreement of Jehovah out of the city of David (which was on Mount Zion).
1Βασ. 8:9:Of course, there was nothing in the Chest except the two stone tablets of the Sacred Agreement that Jehovah made with the sons of Israel after they left the land of Egypt, and which were put there by Moses at the Dry Place (Horeb).
1Βασ. 8:11:So the Priests were unable to stand and officiate before the mist, because the glory of Jehovah filled the whole Temple.
1Βασ. 8:12:Then Solomon said: ‘Jehovah, You spoke of camping in dimness.
1Βασ. 8:15:And [the king] said, ‘Praise Jehovah, the God of Israel, who spoke with His mouth about my father David, and who filled his hands, saying, From the day that I led My people Israel out of Egypt, I have never chosen a city [for Myself] in one of the chiefdoms of Israel, where a [Temple] would be built to My Name.
1Βασ. 8:17:And that’s why the heart of my father David was moved to build a [Temple] to the Name of Jehovah, the God of Israel.
1Βασ. 8:18:‘Then, Jehovah said to my father David: Because your heart was moved to build a [Temple] to My Name, you’ve done a good thing, because it came from your heart!
1Βασ. 8:20:‘So, Jehovah caused these things that He said to happen. I replaced my father David and sat down on the throne of Israel, just as Jehovah said, and now I’ve built the [Temple] to the Name of Jehovah the God of Israel.
1Βασ. 8:21:And I’ve created a place for the Chest that contains the Sacred Agreement that Jehovah made with our ancestors, when He led them out of the land of Egypt.’
1Βασ. 8:22:Then Solomon stood before the Altar of Jehovah, there in front of the whole gathering of Israel, and he raised his arms toward heaven
1Βασ. 8:23:and said, ‘O Jehovah, God of Israel; there are no gods in heaven above or on the earth below that are like You. For, You have kept Your Agreement and shown mercy to Your servant… the one who has walked before You with his whole heart, Your servant David, my father.
1Βασ. 8:25:And now, O Jehovah, God of Israel; keep [the promise] that You made with my father David when You said, There will always be a man who sits before Me on the throne of Israel for as long as your children keep following Me, as you have followed Me.’
1Βασ. 8:26:‘So now, O Jehovah, God of Israel; may the words that You said to my father David prove to be true.
1Βασ. 8:28:‘Please listen to my prayer, O Jehovah, God of Israel… hear the prayer that Your servant is praying before You today!
1Βασ. 8:53:because You have drawn them and set them apart for Yourself as an inheritance from among all the peoples of the earth, and You spoke to them through Your servant Moses when You led our ancestors out of the land of Egypt, O Lord Jehovah.’ Then Solomon spoke concerning the Temple, after he had completed its construction. ‘When He made the sun in the sky, Jehovah said: I will live in a dimly-lit place, so build a new [Temple] for Me to dwell in… and may it be a beautiful place for your sakes. {Look!} Isn’t that what’s written as a song in the scroll?’
1Βασ. 8:54:And after Solomon finished his prayer and his requests to Jehovah, he stood up before the Altar of Jehovah (because he had been kneeling before it), then he raised his arms toward heaven
1Βασ. 8:56:‘Praise Jehovah, for He has brought rest to His people Israel today, just as He promised (among all the many things that He said). For, not a word of the many things He said through His servants has failed to come true.
1Βασ. 8:57:‘May Jehovah our God be with us, as He has been with our ancestors. May He not abandon us or turn from us.
1Βασ. 8:59:And may the things that I’ve begged for, here before Jehovah our God, come true today. May they be heard by Jehovah our God day and night, and may He always do the right thing for His servant and for His people Israel, day in and day out,
1Βασ. 8:60:so that all the people on the earth will come to know that Jehovah is God, and that there is no other.
1Βασ. 8:61:And may our hearts become perfect to Jehovah our God, and may we follow His orders and keep His Commandments in sacredness, as we are doing today.’
1Βασ. 8:62:Then the king and all the sons of Israel offered sacrifices before Jehovah.
1Βασ. 8:63:King Solomon offered twenty-two thousand oxen and a hundred-and-twenty thousand sheep as a peace offering to Jehovah. Then the king inaugurated the [Temple] of Jehovah before all the sons of Israel.
1Βασ. 8:64:And on that holy day, the king stood in the middle of the courtyard (in front of the Temple of Jehovah) and prepared whole burnt offerings as sacrifices, and he offered the fat of the peace offerings there, because the brass Altar that was before Jehovah was just too small, so it couldn’t handle all the whole burnt-offerings, gift offerings, and peace-offering sacrifices.
1Βασ. 8:65:Then Solomon held a holiday feast that day, and all Israel attended. It was a huge gathering, for people had come from as far as Hamath and the [Nile] River to stand before Jehovah God at the [Temple] that [Solomon] had built. They ate, drank, and rejoiced before Jehovah God for seven days.
1Βασ. 8:66:And on the eighth day, [Solomon] sent the people away, and they offered ages of blessings to the king as they left. So, they all returned to their [homes] rejoicing over all the good things that Jehovah had done for His servant David and for His people Israel.
1Βασ. 9:1:Well, after Solomon had finished building the Temple of Jehovah, his own palace, and all the other things that he wanted to do,
1Βασ. 9:2:Jehovah appeared to him a second time (as He had appeared in Gibeon).
1Βασ. 9:8:And everyone who passes by this lofty [Temple] will be amazed and whistle, asking, Why did Jehovah do such a thing to this land and to this [Temple]?
1Βασ. 9:9:And they will be told, Because they abandoned their God – the God of their ancestors, Jehovah – who led them out of the house of slavery in Egypt. Then they took hold of alien gods, and bowed before them and served them. This is why Jehovah brought all these bad things upon them.’
1Βασ. 9:10:Well, this happened some twenty years after Solomon built the two houses – the [Temple] of Jehovah and the [palace] of the king.
1Βασ. 9:15:that he had plundered, to build the Temple of Jehovah, the king’s palace, the wall around Jerusalem (to fortify the city of David), as well as the cities of MegidDo and GeZer.
1Βασ. 9:25:Well, three times each year, Solomon sacrificed whole burnt offerings and peace offerings on the Altar that he’d built to Jehovah. He also burned incense on it, there before Jehovah, until he finished the Temple.
1Βασ. 10:1:Well, the Queen of Sheba had heard of Solomon’s fame and of the Name Jehovah, so she came to test him with problems.
1Βασ. 10:5:all the food that he had, the way his servants were assigned, the jobs that his officials were given, how they were dressed, as well as his wine servers, and the whole burnt offerings that he sacrificed at the Temple of Jehovah, she was beside herself.
1Βασ. 10:9:And Jehovah your God, who chose you and put you on the throne of Israel, must love Israel and [plan to] watch over it through the ages, to set you as king over them and righteously hear and judge their cases.’
1Βασ. 10:12:The king used the timber as supports for the Temple of Jehovah and the king’s palace, as well as for stringed instruments and lutes for the musicians. Never before had such wood been seen in the land (or anywhere else, for that matter).
1Βασ. 10:24:and all the kings of the earth came to Solomon to hear the wisdom that Jehovah had put into his heart.
1Βασ. 11:2:which Jehovah had forbidden the sons of Israel to do. He told them, ‘You must not [marry] them, and they must not come to you, for they will turn your hearts [toward serving] their idols.’ However, Solomon [was a slave] to love,
1Βασ. 11:4:Soon Solomon’s wives turned his heart to worshiping other gods, so his heart was no longer perfect toward Jehovah his God, as was the heart of his father David.
1Βασ. 11:6:So, Solomon started doing evil things before Jehovah, and he was no longer a follower of Jehovah, as was David his father.
1Βασ. 11:9:And of course, this made Jehovah very angry with Solomon, for his heart had turned from Jehovah the God of Israel, who had appeared before him twice
1Βασ. 11:10:after he had been plainly told not to serve other gods, and to be careful to do everything that Jehovah God told him.
1Βασ. 11:11:So, Jehovah said to Solomon: ‘Because you’ve done these things, and you haven’t followed My Commandments or instructions that I gave you, I will take your kingdom out of your hand, rip it up, and give it to your servant.
1Βασ. 11:14:So Jehovah sent an enemy against Solomon, Ader the Idumean (from the kingdom of Idumea).
1Βασ. 11:23:Jehovah had also raised another enemy against [Solomon]; Rezon (the son of EliAdah), who had run away from his master HadadEzer, the king of Zobah.
1Βασ. 11:31:And he said to JeroBoam, ‘Take ten of these pieces for yourself, because this is what Jehovah the God of Israel has said: {Look!} I’m tearing the kingdom out of the hands of Solomon and giving you ten of its [tribes].
1Βασ. 12:15:Well, the king just wouldn’t listen to the people, because Jehovah had moved his heart so that what He had said through the Prophet AhiJah the Selonite concerning JeroBoam (the son of Nabat) would come true.
1Βασ. 12:22:However, Jehovah sent word through His servant ShemaiJah, who was told,
1Βασ. 12:24:this is what Jehovah says: You must not go to war against your brothers, the sons of Israel. Return to your homes, because I have caused this to happen.’ So, they paid attention to words of Jehovah, because they didn’t want to oppose what He said.
1Βασ. 12:27:And if these people go to offer sacrifices in the [Temple] of Jehovah in Jerusalem, they will soon turn their hearts toward Jehovah and to RehoBoam, the king of Judah. Then they’ll kill me.’
1Βασ. 12:30:And because of this sin, the people started worshiping the one that he put in Dan, and they no longer went to the Temple of Jehovah.
1Βασ. 13:1:And {Look!} a man of God came to BethEl from Judah, with a message from Jehovah. He got up on the sacrificial altar there
1Βασ. 13:2:and called out the words of Jehovah. He said: ‘O altar; O altar; this is what Jehovah has said: {Look!} A son has been born in the house of David, JosiJah is his name, and he will sacrifice the priests of the high places upon you – those who are offering sacrifices upon you – and he will burn their bones upon you.’
1Βασ. 13:3:Then he performed a miracle; he said, ‘This is what Jehovah has said: {Look!} The altar has been ripped, and all the fat that was put on it is being spilled!
1Βασ. 13:5:Then the altar miraculously cracked and spilled all the fat that had been placed there, just as the man of God told them that Jehovah had said.
1Βασ. 13:6:Then King JeroBoam said to the man of God: ‘Go before the face of Jehovah your God and beg Him to return my hand to me!’ So the man of God [spoke to] the face of Jehovah, and the king’s hand returned to him and became as it was before.
1Βασ. 13:9:For, this is what Jehovah told me: Don’t eat bread, don’t drink water, and don’t return by the same way you came.’
1Βασ. 13:17:For, Jehovah told me, You must not eat any bread or drink any water there; and you must not return by the same way you came.
1Βασ. 13:18:However he replied, ‘But I’m a prophet like you, and a messenger [of God] told me these words from Jehovah… he said, Take him back to your house and give him some food and water!’ (However, he was lying).
1Βασ. 13:20:But as they were sitting down at the table, the word of Jehovah came to the prophet who did the inviting,
1Βασ. 13:21:so he said to the man of God who had come from Judah, ‘This is what Jehovah has said: Because you disobeyed the instructions of Jehovah and you didn’t do as you were commanded by Jehovah your God
1Βασ. 13:26:And when the prophet heard what had happened to the man of God along the road, he said, ‘This is what happens to those who rebel against the word of Jehovah. For, it was Jehovah who sent the lion… it attacked him and killed him, just as Jehovah foretold.’
1Βασ. 13:32:For, Jehovah used him to speak against the altar in BethEl, and against the temples on the hilltops in Samaria.’
1Βασ. 14:5:But Jehovah said to AhiJah, ‘Look, the wife of JeroBoam is coming to you to ask about her son, because he’s very ill, and this is what you should say to her…’
1Βασ. 14:7:Return to JeroBoam and tell him that this is what Jehovah the God of Israel has said: I’m the one who elevated you from the midst of your people and appointed you over the people of Israel.
1Βασ. 14:11:Those of JeroBoam who die in the city will be eaten by dogs, and the flying creatures of the sky will eat those who die in the fields. ‘This is what Jehovah said.
1Βασ. 14:13:Then [his body] will be put in a tomb and all Israel will mourn for him. For, he’s the only one of JeroBoam’s [children] who will be put in a tomb, because he’s the only one in the house of JeroBoam who [would have] said something good about Jehovah, the God of Israel.
1Βασ. 14:14:‘And today – in fact, NOW – Jehovah will raise a king for Himself over Israel who will cut down the house of JeroBoam.
1Βασ. 14:15:For, Jehovah will strike Israel as someone stirs a reed in the water. He will pluck Israel from the good land that He gave their ancestors and toss them to the other side of the river, because of all the sacred poles they erected to anger Jehovah.’
1Βασ. 14:16:And that’s how Jehovah showed His [dis]favor to Israel because of the sins of JeroBoam. For, he had not only sinned, he’d also led Israel into sin.
1Βασ. 14:18:Then they buried [his body] in a tomb and all Israel mourned for him, just as Jehovah said they would through His servant AhiJah the Prophet.
1Βασ. 14:21:At the time, RehoBoam (the son of Solomon) was reigning over Judah. He was forty-one years old when he started his reign, and he ruled in Jerusalem (the city where Jehovah chose to put His Name for all the tribes of Israel) for seven years. His mother’s name was NaAma, and she was an Ammonite.
1Βασ. 14:22:During this time, Judah was also acting wickedly before Jehovah, and they were making Him jealous by all the things they were doing, as did their ancestors when they sinned.
1Βασ. 14:24:They got together throughout the land and started doing all the disgusting things that the nations, which Jehovah had removed from before the sons of Israel, had been doing.
1Βασ. 14:26:and took all the treasures of the Temple of Jehovah, and all the treasures of the king’s palace. He took the gold spears (which David took from the children of AdraZar, the king of Suba) and carried them [from] Jerusalem. He took everything! He even took the gold shields that Solomon had made, and carried them all to Egypt.
1Βασ. 14:28:And one day, while the king was in the Temple of Jehovah, the bodyguards took them down and mounted them in their own barracks.
1Βασ. 15:3:However, he followed in the sins that his father had committed before him, and his heart wasn’t perfect toward Jehovah his God, as was the heart of his grandfather David.
1Βασ. 15:4:But because of David, Jehovah God gave him the right to establish his line as [the future kings] in Jerusalem.
1Βασ. 15:5:This is because David did the right thing before Jehovah and didn’t turn away from all that he was told to do during his lifetime
1Βασ. 15:11:Now, Asa did what was right before Jehovah, as did his ancestor David.
1Βασ. 15:14:And, although he failed to remove the high places of worship, the heart of Asa was perfect toward Jehovah all the days of his life.
1Βασ. 15:15:For, Asa returned the huge columns of silver and gold to the Temple of Jehovah, as well as its silver and gold utensils.
1Βασ. 15:18:But then Asa took all the silver and gold that he found in the treasury of the Temple of Jehovah and in the treasuries of the palace of the king, and entrusted them to his servants. Then King Asa had the treasures sent to BenHader, who was the son of TaberEma, the king of Syria, who lived in Damascus.
1Βασ. 15:26:for he also acted wickedly before Jehovah and he followed in the steps of his father, committing the same sins and leading Israel into sin.
1Βασ. 15:29:Well, during BaAsha’s reign, he killed the entire house of JeroBoam. He didn’t leave anyone alive, but killed them all, just as Jehovah had said through His servant AhiJah the Selonite
1Βασ. 15:30:(because of the sins of JeroBoam in leading Israel into sin, and provoking the anger of Jehovah, the God of Israel).
1Βασ. 15:33:It was in the third year of the reign of Asa (the king of Judah) that BaAsha (the son of AhiJah) started ruling over Israel from TirZah. Then he reigned for twenty-four years, and he also acted wickedly before Jehovah, for he followed in the footsteps of JeroBoam (the son Nabat) by sinning and leading Israel into sin.
1Βασ. 16:1:Then Jehovah sent word to BaAsha by Jehu (the son of AnaNi), saying,
1Βασ. 16:7:For, Jehovah had sent a proclamation against BaAsha and his house through Jehu (the son AnaNi), because of all the bad things he did before Jehovah. The things he was doing made Jehovah very angry, so BaAsha’s house would become like the house of JeroBoam, who he had slaughtered.
1Βασ. 16:12:So, Zimri wiped out the whole house of BaAsha, just as Jehovah had foretold through the Prophet Jehu.
1Βασ. 16:13:He did this because of all the sins of BaAsha and his son ElAh, who had made Jehovah the God of Israel angry by leading Israel into sin with all his foolishness.
1Βασ. 16:19:This happened because of all the sins that Zimri had committed. For, he also acted wickedly before Jehovah, and followed in the ways of JeroBoam (the son of Nabat), committing the same sins and leading Israel into sin.
1Βασ. 16:25:Well, Omri also acted wickedly before Jehovah. In fact, he was worse than all those who came before him.
1Βασ. 16:26:He followed in the ways of JeroBoam (the son of Nabat), and committed all his sins by leading Israel into foolishness and sin, which made Jehovah the God of Israel very angry.
1Βασ. 16:30:And he also acted wickedly before Jehovah… even wickeder than all who had gone before him.
1Βασ. 16:33:And Ahab also set up fields of sacred poles, doing everything he could to anger Jehovah the God of Israel, and to bring his own destruction.
1Βασ. 16:34:And it was during his reign that AchiEl the BethElite rebuilt Jericho, with the loss of his first-born son AbiRon, for laying its foundation, and with the loss of his youngest son Segub, for erecting its gates, just as Jehovah had said through JoShua (the son of NaWeh).
1Βασ. 17:1:Then the Prophet EliJah (the Tishbite from Tishbon of Gilead) went to Ahab and said: ‘As Jehovah the Almighty God – the God of Israel before whom I stand – lives, there won’t be any dew or rain in the land for years unless I call for it.’
1Βασ. 17:2:And then Jehovah told EliJah:
1Βασ. 17:5:So EliJah did what Jehovah said; he settled by the HorRath Wadi near the Jordan,
1Βασ. 17:8:So then, Jehovah told EliJah:
1Βασ. 17:12:And the woman said, ‘As Jehovah your God lives; what good is a cake that is baked in hot ashes? All I have is just a handful of flour in a jar and a little olive oil in a pitcher. And look! Here I’ve collected two sticks, so I can go home and cook it for my children and myself… then we can eat it and die.’
1Βασ. 17:14:For, this is what Jehovah the God of Israel has said: The jar of flour will not fail, nor will the pitcher of olive oil, until the day comes which Jehovah has appointed for rain to fall upon the ground.’
1Βασ. 17:16:And the jar of flour never became empty, nor did her pitcher of olive oil ever run low, just as Jehovah had told her through EliJah.
1Βασ. 17:20:Then EliJah yelled out and said, ‘O Jehovah; You’ve seen how this widow has treated me, so why have You brought evil to kill her son?’
1Βασ. 17:21:Then he breathed into the boy’s [mouth] three times, and he called to Jehovah saying: ‘O my God; give the boy’s life back to him.’
1Βασ. 17:24:And the woman said to EliJah, ‘Now I know that you’re a man of God, and that the words of Jehovah that come from your mouth are true.’
1Βασ. 18:1:After three years, Jehovah came to EliJah and said, ‘Go and speak to Ahab, for I’m going to allow rain to fall on the land again!’
1Βασ. 18:3:However, Ahab called for AbDiu (his man in charge), who was extremely afraid of Jehovah.
1Βασ. 18:4:For, when JezeBel had many of the Prophets of Jehovah killed, he gathered a hundred of them and hid them in two caves in groups of fifties; then he sent them food and water.
1Βασ. 18:9:Then AbDiu asked, ‘What has your servant done that you would hand me over to Ahab, for he would kill me! As Jehovah your God lives, there isn’t a nation or kingdom where my master hasn’t searched for you.
1Βασ. 18:12:What if, after I leave you, Jehovah sends a wind that picks you up and carries you into an unknown land? Then, if I go and tell Ahab and he doesn’t find you here, he’ll kill me! ‘Now, your servant has feared Jehovah since his youth.
1Βασ. 18:13:And perhaps you haven’t been told, my master, what I did when JezeBel killed the Prophets of Jehovah… I took a hundred of them and hid them in caves in groups of fifties. Then I fed them with bread loaves and water.
1Βασ. 18:15:And EliJah said, ‘As the Almighty Jehovah who stands before me lives, I’m going to appear before him today.’
1Βασ. 18:18:And EliJah said, ‘No, I’m not going to [stop bothering] Israel, for you and the house of your fathers have left Jehovah your God, and started following Baal Im.
1Βασ. 18:21:Then EliJah stood up in front of everyone and said, ‘How much longer are you going to be lame on both of your hams? If Jehovah is God, then follow him! But if Baal is God, then follow him!’ Well, no one said a word.
1Βασ. 18:22:Then EliJah said, ‘I’m the only Prophet of Jehovah who is left. But here are four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal, and four hundred prophets of the sacred poles.
1Βασ. 18:24:Then you can call to the names of your gods, and I will call upon the Name of Jehovah my God. And whichever one lights the fire truly is God.’ Well, all the people said, ‘What you’ve said is very good!’
1Βασ. 18:31:EliJah took twelve stones (which represented the tribes of Israel), just as Jehovah had told him, in this place where Jehovah had once told [Jacob], ‘Israel will be your Name.’
1Βασ. 18:32:For, these were the stones that [Jacob had] erected in the Name of Jehovah, and it’s the altar of Jehovah (that had been destroyed), which he rebuilt. Then he built a moat around it that was deep enough to hold two sacks of seeds, and he put wood on the altar that he made.
1Βασ. 18:36:And he yelled into the sky and said, ‘O Jehovah, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel; hear me today and send fire, so all these people will know that You are Jehovah the God of Israel, that I’m Your servant, and that the things I’m doing are Your works!
1Βασ. 18:37:Hear me, O Jehovah; send fire so these people will know that You are Jehovah God, and so that the hearts of these people will turn back to You!’
1Βασ. 18:38:Then Jehovah sent fire that fell from the sky, and it consumed the whole burnt offering, the wood, the water in the moat, the stones… and even the dirt around [the altar] was licked up by the fire.
1Βασ. 18:39:Then all the people fell to their faces and said, ‘Truly, Jehovah is God… The God!’
1Βασ. 18:46:the hand of Jehovah came over EliJah, so he wrapped up his waist, then he ran to JezreEl ahead of Ahab.
1Βασ. 19:4:and traveled along the desert road for a day’s journey, and then [he spent the night] under a broom bush. That’s when he prayed for his life to end. He said, ‘It’s now fitting for You to take my life from me, O Jehovah, for I’m no better than my ancestors!’
1Βασ. 19:7:But the messenger of Jehovah returned a second time and touched him, and said, ‘Get up and eat! You’ll need this for your long journey.’
1Βασ. 19:9:And when he got there, he went into a cave to rest. But then {Look!} Jehovah sent word to him. He asked, ‘Why are you here, EliJah?’
1Βασ. 19:10:And EliJah replied, ‘Because of my zeal… because I’m zealous for Jehovah the Almighty. Yet, the sons of Israel have abandoned You… they’ve cut down Your Altars, and they’ve killed Your Prophets with swords… and now I’m the only one left and they’re looking [to kill] me!’
1Βασ. 19:11:Then he was told, ‘Go outside and stand on the mountain before Jehovah, and {Look!} Jehovah will pass by you in a strong wind that will split the mountain and break its rocks.’ [So, he went outside and stood] before Jehovah, and wind blew… but it wasn’t wind, it was Jehovah. Then after the wind blew, the ground also shook… but it wasn’t an earthquake, it was Jehovah.
1Βασ. 19:12:And after the earth shook, there was a fire… but it wasn’t fire, it was Jehovah. And after the fire, there was a sound that came from a soft breeze, which was Jehovah.
1Βασ. 19:14:And EliJah again replied, ‘Because of my zeal… because I’m zealous for Jehovah the Almighty. Yet, the sons of Israel have abandoned Your Sacred Agreement with them… they’ve demolished Your Altars, and they’ve killed Your Prophets with swords… and now I’m the only one left and they’re looking [to kill] me!’
1Βασ. 19:15:Then Jehovah said to him, ‘Now, go on with your journey until you reach the desert road to Damascus, and then anoint HazaEl as the king of Syria.
1Βασ. 20:13:Then {Look!} a Prophet came to Ahab (the king of Israel) and said, ‘This is what Jehovah says: Have you seen how large an army they have? Look! Today I’m giving them all into your hands, and then you will know that I am Jehovah!
1Βασ. 20:14:And Ahab asked, ‘Who will accomplish this?’ And he was told, ‘This is what Jehovah said: It will happen at the hands of the young princes of this region.’ And Ahab asked, ‘Then, who will join them in this war?’ And he was told, ‘You will!’
1Βασ. 20:28:Then the man of God went to the king of Israel and said, ‘This is what Jehovah has said: Because Syria says that Jehovah the God of Israel is a God of the mountains, not a God of the valleys, I’m going to give this huge army into your hands. Then you will know that I am Jehovah.
1Βασ. 20:35:Then a man who was one of the sons of the Prophets said to his neighbor (by [the inspiration] of Jehovah), ‘Strike me!’ But his neighbor wouldn’t knock him down,
1Βασ. 20:36:so he said to him: ‘Because you didn’t listen to the voice of Jehovah, {look!} after you leave me, a lion will strike you down!’ And after he left him, he found that a lion had indeed killed him.
1Βασ. 20:42:Then the Prophet said to him, ‘This is what Jehovah has said: Because you allowed a man who escaped from you to live, your life will be required for his life, and your people for his people.’
1Βασ. 21:17:Then Jehovah spoke to EliJah (the Tishbite) and said, ‘Get up and go to Samaria to meet with Ahab (the king of Israel).
1Βασ. 21:19:Speak to him and tell him that Jehovah has said: Because you had to murder someone to inherit this field, everywhere that the pigs and dogs licked the blood of NabOth, they will lick your blood. Why, prostitutes will bathe in your blood!
1Βασ. 21:21:And EliJah replied, ‘Yes, I’ve found you, because you’ve acted foolishly and sold yourself into wickedness before Jehovah. So, this is what He said: {Look!} I’m bringing all sorts of bad things upon you. I will destroy Ahab and burn away everything that comes after him… all those who urinate against a wall and all those who serve him that are still left in Israel.
1Βασ. 21:23:Then he told JezeBel, ‘Jehovah said this: Dogs will eat her [body] around the walls of JezreEl.
1Βασ. 21:25:This is because Ahab acted so foolishly when he sold himself into wicked deeds before Jehovah through the perversions of his wife JezeBel.
1Βασ. 21:26:Why, his actions have been disgusting! He has worshiped the disgusting thing of the Amorites who Jehovah drove away from before the sons of Israel.’
1Βασ. 21:27:Well, after all these things were said, Ahab became very repentant before Jehovah… he started crying and ripping his clothes, then he tied sackcloth around his body and fasted. And he kept wearing the sackcloth from the day that NabOth the JezreElite was killed.
1Βασ. 21:28:Then Jehovah spoke to EliJah the Tishbite and said,
1Βασ. 22:5:And JehoShaphat said, ‘You and I, and your people and mine, are the same race; so my horses are your horses. But, why don’t you ask [Jehovah about this] today? You should definitely ask Him!’
1Βασ. 22:7:Then JehoShaphat asked the king of Israel, ‘Don’t you have any Prophets of Jehovah? We should use them to ask Jehovah about this matter.’
1Βασ. 22:8:And the king of Israel said to JehoShaphat, ‘There’s still one man of Jehovah who we can ask, but I detest him, because he never tells me good things, just bad things. His name is MicaiJah (the son of JemBlaAh).’ So, JehoShaphat the king of Judah said, ‘Let him speak.’
1Βασ. 22:14:Well, MicaiJah replied, ‘As Jehovah lives, whatever He tells me is what I’ll say.’
1Βασ. 22:15:But he went to the king, and the king asked, ‘Should I go to war for RamOth Gilead, or should I wait?’ And MicaiJah told him, ‘Go, and Jehovah will bless the hands of the king!’
1Βασ. 22:17:And MicaiJah replied, ‘Well, [what I said] isn’t true, for I saw all Israel scattered in the mountains like a flock with no shepherd. Then the Lord asked, Isn’t Jehovah the God of these people? Then let them return to their homes in peace!
1Βασ. 22:19:And MicaiJah said, ‘That isn’t so! For, all I do is listen to the words of Jehovah… and isn’t that what I’ve done? I saw Jehovah the God of Israel sitting on His throne, and the whole army of the heavens standing around Him… on His right and on His left.
1Βασ. 22:20:Then Jehovah asked, Who will fool Ahab the king of Israel and make him go to war for RamOth Gilead? And one said this, and the other said that,
1Βασ. 22:21:but then a spirit came and stood before Jehovah and said, I will deceive him!
1Βασ. 22:22:‘So Jehovah asked him: How will you do that? ‘And he replied, I’ll go and become a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets. ‘And God said, You will surely deceive him. Go on and do it!
1Βασ. 22:23:‘So now, {Look!} Jehovah has put a lying spirit in the mouths of all your prophets, for Jehovah has foretold bad things for you.’
1Βασ. 22:24:And at that, ZedekiJah (the son HanaAn) came up to MicaiJah and hit him in the mouth, and asked, ‘So, what kind of spirit has Jehovah prophesied for you?’
1Βασ. 22:28:And MicaiJah said, ‘You won’t return in peace, for Jehovah told me: Listen all you people!
1Βασ. 22:38:But as they were washing the blood off the chariot in the Spring of Samaria, pigs and dogs licked his blood, and prostitutes bathed in the bloody water, just as Jehovah had said.
1Βασ. 22:43:He had followed in the path of his father Asa unswervingly, doing what was upright in the eyes of Jehovah. However, he never tore down the high places where the people burned incense and offered sacrifices.
1Βασ. 22:53:This is because he acted wickedly before Jehovah and followed in the steps of his father Ahab, his mother JezeBel, and the house of the son of Nabat, who led Israel into sin…
1Βασ. 22:54:and because he served Baal Im, bowing before him. So, this angered Jehovah, the God of Israel.
2Βασ. 1:3:Then a messenger of Jehovah spoke to EliJah (the Tishbite) and said, ‘Get up and meet the messengers of AhaziJah, the king of Samaria, and ask them, Is it because there’s no God in Israel that you’re so anxiously going to see Baal, the Fly God of Ekron… you know that isn’t true!
2Βασ. 1:4:So, [tell them to return to AhaziJah] because Jehovah says, You’re never going to get out of that bed you’re in… you’re going to die!’ So EliJah went and told them,
2Βασ. 1:6:And they said, ‘Well, a man came to meet us, and he told us to return to the king who sent us and tell him that Jehovah says: Are you so anxiously going to see Baal, the Fly God of Ekron because there’s no God in Israel? There’s no need to do that, because you won’t be getting out of the bed you’re lying in, for you’re going to die.’
2Βασ. 1:15:Then the messenger of Jehovah spoke to EliJah and said, ‘Get down and go with him, and don’t be afraid of them.’ So, EliJah climbed down and went with them to the king.
2Βασ. 1:16:Then he told the king, ‘This is what Jehovah has said: Why did you send messengers to get a reply from Baal, the Fly God of Ekron? That won’t be necessary, because you won’t be getting out of the bed that you’re in, for you’re going to die!
2Βασ. 1:17:And then he died, just as Jehovah said through EliJah.
2Βασ. 2:1:Then there came the time when Jehovah was to take EliJah into the sky in a great shaking; so EliJah and EliSha left GilGal together.
2Βασ. 2:2:And EliJah said to EliSha, ‘Wait here, because Jehovah is sending me on to BethEl.’ And EliSha asked, ‘As Jehovah lives and as you live, should I just I abandon you?’ So, they traveled on to BethEl together.
2Βασ. 2:3:Then the Sons of the Prophets came to EliSha in BethEl and said to him, ‘Do you know that Jehovah is going to take your master and lift him over your head today?’ And he replied, ‘Yes, I know… but don’t talk about it!’ 4, 5, 
2Βασ. 2:6:Then EliJah told him, ‘Now, wait here, because Jehovah is sending me to the Jordan River.’ And EliSha [again] said, ‘As Jehovah lives and as you live, am I to abandon you?’ So, they both traveled on.
2Βασ. 2:16:Then they said to him, ‘{Look!} We have fifty men [who are filled with God’s] power. Allow us to send them to search for your master; for the Breath of Jehovah may have tossed him into the Jordan, or onto one of the mountains or hills!’ And EliSha said, ‘No, don’t send them.’
2Βασ. 2:21:And EliSha went to the place where they got their water and threw the salt in, and said, ‘This is what Jehovah has said: I have made the water good, so now it will cause no more death or destruction.’
2Βασ. 2:24:And when he saw this, he turned around and cursed them in the name of Jehovah. Then {Look!} two bears came out of the woods and tore all forty of the children to pieces.
2Βασ. 3:2:He also acted wickedly in the eyes of Jehovah, but not as badly as his father or mother.
2Βασ. 3:10:Then the king of Israel said, ‘Oh, did Jehovah call three kings and send them here just to hand them over to Moab?’
2Βασ. 3:11:And JehoShaphat asked, ‘Didn’t you bring along a Prophet of Jehovah? We should be asking him!’ And one of the servants of the king of Israel said, ‘We can go to EliSha (the son of ShaPhat), who used to wash the hands of EliJah.’
2Βασ. 3:12:And JehoShaphat asked, ‘Are the words of Jehovah in him?’ Well, the king of Israel, the king of Judah (JehoShaphat), and the king of Edom went to see him.
2Βασ. 3:13:And EliSha asked the king of Israel, ‘Why have you come here… why don’t you go to the prophets of your father and mother?’ But the king of Israel asked him, ‘Has Jehovah called us three kings just to hand us over to Moab?’
2Βασ. 3:14:And EliSha said, ‘As Jehovah the God of armies (before whom I stand) lives; if it were not for the fact that JehoShaphat (the king of Judah) is welcome here, I would never have bothered to see you.
2Βασ. 3:15:But now, bring me my harp.’ Well, as he strummed his harp, the hand of Jehovah came over him
2Βασ. 3:16:and he said, ‘This is what Jehovah has said: Dig cistern after cistern in the wadi,
2Βασ. 3:18:And because this is no light matter in the eyes of Jehovah, I will give Moab into your hands.
2Βασ. 4:1:Then a wife of one of the Sons of the Prophets called for EliSha and said, ‘My husband (your servant) has died. Now, you know that your servant was [a man] who feared Jehovah. But the moneylender just came to take my two sons away to be his slaves.’
2Βασ. 4:27:Then she went up to EliSha on the mountain, and grabbed hold of his feet… but GeHazi approached to push her away. However, EliSha said, ‘Leave her alone, because there’s a lot of pain in her life. I don’t know what it is, because Jehovah has concealed it from me.’
2Βασ. 4:30:Then the boy’s mother said to EliSha, ‘As Jehovah lives and as your body is living, are we going to leave you behind?’ So, EliSha got up and went after her,
2Βασ. 4:33:So, he went inside and locked the door after him, and prayed to Jehovah.
2Βασ. 4:43:And [EliSha] said to his servant, ‘Why should I feed those things to just a hundred men? Give it to the [rest] of the people [of the city] and let them eat it, for Jehovah has said, They will eat it and have leftovers!
2Βασ. 4:44:And after everyone ate, there were leftovers, just as Jehovah had said.
2Βασ. 5:1:There was a man named NaAman who was the commander-in-chief of the army of Syria. He was highly valued by his lord and everyone admired him. Why, Jehovah had even used him to save Syria, for he was a very strong and mighty man. However, he had contracted leprosy.
2Βασ. 5:16:But EliSha said, ‘As [Jehovah, the God] that I stand before lives; how could I accept such a thing?’ Well, he kept insisting, but EliSha kept resisting.
2Βασ. 5:17:Then NaAman said, ‘Well if not, then at least let your servant give you this team of mules, and you can give me some of your red earth in return; then I’ll quit insisting. However, your servant won’t present whole burnt offerings or sacrifices to any gods other than to Jehovah alone, because of what this God has done.
2Βασ. 5:18:But, may Jehovah deal kindly with your servant when I have to enter the temple of RemMan with my master. Because when he goes there, he has to hold onto my hand when he kneels before RemMan, so I must bend down also… may Jehovah deal kindly with your servant in this matter.’
2Βασ. 5:20:But GeHazi (EliSha’s servant) said, ‘{Look!} NaAman was saved, yet my master wouldn’t accept any of the things he brought. As Jehovah lives, I’m going to run after him and accept anything that he’s willing to give!’
2Βασ. 6:17:Then EliSha prayed and said, ‘O Jehovah, open wide the eyes of this servant.’ So, Jehovah opened his eyes wide, and he saw {Look!} that the mountain was filled with horses and chariots of fire that were surrounding EliSha.
2Βασ. 6:18:Well, when they came to get him, EliSha prayed to Jehovah, saying, ‘Now strike this nation so they can’t see!’ And suddenly they were all struck [mentally] blind, just as EliSha had asked.
2Βασ. 6:20:and when they got there, EliSha prayed, ‘O Jehovah, now open their eyes and let them see!’ And Jehovah opened the eyes [of their minds] wide, and they realized that {Look!} they were in the midst of Samaria.
2Βασ. 6:27:And he replied, ‘Where can I save you from… the threshing floor or the wine vat? Only Jehovah can save you!’
2Βασ. 6:33:And while he was still speaking to them, {Look!} the messenger arrived and said, ‘{Look!} All this evil has come from Jehovah, so is there a reason to wait on Jehovah any longer?’
2Βασ. 7:1:Then EliSha said, ‘Listen to the word of Jehovah, for this is what He said: At this same time tomorrow, a scoop of fine flour will sell for a copper coin, and two scoops of barley will sell for a copper coin inside the gates of Samaria.’
2Βασ. 7:2:But the official proclaimer (to whom the king would give his hand and lean on) [sent a reply] to EliSha, saying, ‘{Look!} Will Jehovah make it pour from the sky? It will never happen!’ And EliSha said, ‘Look! You will see it with your own eyes, but you won’t eat any of it.’
2Βασ. 7:6:This is because Jehovah had created the sounds of horses, chariots, and a huge army, so all the people in the camp thought that the king of Israel had hired the kings of the Hittites and Egyptians to come and attack them.
2Βασ. 7:19:And the official proclaimer who had said to EliSha, ‘{Look!} Will Jehovah make it pour from the sky? It will never happen,’ and to whom EliSha said, ‘{Look!} You’ll see it with your eyes, but you won’t eat any of it’…
2Βασ. 8:1:Then EliSha went and spoke to the woman whose son he had brought back to life. He told her, ‘Get up and take everyone in your house to wherever you wish to go, for Jehovah has called for a famine on the land… and it will last for seven years.’
2Βασ. 8:8:the king said to HazaEl, ‘Bring along a gift and go meet with the man of God. Tell him to go before Jehovah quickly and ask if I will survive this illness.’
2Βασ. 8:10:And EliSha said to him, ‘Go and tell him that he will live… however, Jehovah has shown me that he will die.’
2Βασ. 8:13:And HazaEl asked, ‘Do you think of your servant as a dead dog, that I would do such a thing?’ And EliSha said, ‘Jehovah has shown me that you will reign over Syria.’
2Βασ. 8:18:However, he followed in the ways of the kings of Israel and the house of Ahab, because Ahab’s daughter was his wife. So, he acted very wickedly before Jehovah.
2Βασ. 8:19:But Jehovah didn’t want [to harm] Judah because of His promise to His servant David (that He would allow him and his descendants to be the lamplight throughout their lives).
2Βασ. 8:27:So, he also followed in the ways of the house of Ahab and acted wickedly before Jehovah.
2Βασ. 9:3:Take him into the bin of a storage shed and pour this flask of oil on his head, and tell him that Jehovah said: I have anointed you to be the king over Israel. Then open the door and run! Don’t wait!’
2Βασ. 9:6:So, [Jehu] got up and they both went outside. Then [the Prophet] poured the oil over his head and said, ‘This is what Jehovah the God of Israel has said: I have anointed you to be the king over the people of Jehovah… over Israel.
2Βασ. 9:7:Now, you must wipe the house of your lord Ahab away from before My face and avenge the blood of My servants the Prophets and the blood of all the servants of [Jehovah who were killed] by JezeBel.
2Βασ. 9:12:And they said, ‘It would be wrong if you don’t tell us what has happened.’ And Jehu said to them, ‘So-and-so spoke to me and told me that Jehovah said: I have anointed you to be the king over Israel.’
2Βασ. 9:25:And Jehu said to BadEkar (his aid), ‘Take his body and throw it into the field of NabOth the JezreElite. For we both remember, back when we rode for his father Ahab, how Jehovah told him, Look! Wasn’t it just yesterday that I saw the blood of NabOth and his sons?
2Βασ. 9:26:And then Jehovah said, I will pay him back [for his sins] in this very field. So now, throw his body into this field, just as Jehovah said!’
2Βασ. 9:36:And when they returned to tell him, he said, ‘This is what Jehovah had said through EliJah the Tishbite… Dogs will eat the flesh of JezeBel in JezreEl,
2Βασ. 10:10:{Look!} Now everything that Jehovah said through EliJah concerning what would happen to the house of Ahab has come true. For, it was Jehovah who did everything that He said He would do through His servant EliJah.’
2Βασ. 10:16:and said, ‘Come with me and see my zeal for Jehovah of Armies!’ And from there they rode in the chariot
2Βασ. 10:17:to Samaria, where they killed all who were left of Ahab in Samaria… he wiped them all out, just as Jehovah had said through EliJah.
2Βασ. 10:23:So, Jehu went in with JoNadab (the son of ReChab) and said to the servants of Baal, ‘Now, look around and make sure that there are no servants of Jehovah, for we just want the servants of Baal here!’
2Βασ. 10:30:Yet, Jehovah said to Jehu: ‘Because of the many good things that you did that were righteous in My eyes, and the things that you did to the house of Ahab, which was what My heart desired, your sons will sit on the throne of Israel through the fourth generation.’
2Βασ. 10:31:However, Jehu didn’t follow the Law of Jehovah (the God of Israel) with his whole heart. And because he didn’t remove the sins of JeroBoam (the son of NaBat),
2Βασ. 10:32:Jehovah started cutting Israel down. For HazaEl attacked the borders of Israel
2Βασ. 11:3:Then she kept him hidden in the Temple of Jehovah for six years. So, AthaliJah ruled over the land.
2Βασ. 11:4:But after seven years, JehoiAda (the Priest) took the commanders who were in charge of patrolmen and couriers, and brought them into the Temple of Jehovah. Then he had them make an agreement with Jehovah and bound them with an oath in the presence of Jehovah, and that’s when JehoiAda showed the son of the king to them.
2Βασ. 11:7:Two of you must go to the Temple of Jehovah on the Sabbath to guard the king,
2Βασ. 11:10:Then the Priest gave the commanders the spears and shields of King David that were kept in the Temple of Jehovah,
2Βασ. 11:13:Well, when AthaliJah heard the sound of people running, she went to the Temple of Jehovah, and that’s when she saw the king standing at the columns and ruling. All the singers and trumpeters were there by the king, and all the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing horns.
2Βασ. 11:15:And that’s when JehoiAda (the Priest) told the commanders and their lieutenants, ‘Take her outside and kill her with your swords, because she shouldn’t die inside the Temple of Jehovah.’
2Βασ. 11:17:Then JehoiAda proclaimed an agreement between Jehovah, the king, and his people, that they would be the people of Jehovah.
2Βασ. 11:18:Thereafter, all the people of the land gathered at the temple of Baal and tore it down. They smashed its images and altars into fine pieces, and they killed Mathan (the priest of Baal) in front of the altars. Then the Priest appointed men as overseers in the Temple of Jehovah.
2Βασ. 11:19:And he took the military commanders and their troops of patrolmen and couriers, along with all the people in the land, and led the king from the Temple of Jehovah, through the gate of the royal bodyguards, and into the palace of the kings. Then they seated him on the throne,
2Βασ. 12:3:JoAsh did what was upright before Jehovah throughout his entire life, for he had been well trained by JehoiAda the Priest.
2Βασ. 12:5:Now, JoAsh told the Priests that they could keep any money or sell anything of value that was brought to the Temple of Jehovah,
2Βασ. 12:10:So, JehoiAda the Priest built a chest and bored a hole in the top, and he placed it by the Altar of the Temple of Jehovah. Then Priests were assigned to stand next to the doors to guard all the money that was brought to Jehovah’s Temple.
2Βασ. 12:11:Well after a while, quite a bit of money had accumulated in the chest at the Temple of Jehovah, so the Scribe and the High Priest went to the king, then they closed the doors and counted the money,
2Βασ. 12:12:and they gave the money for the repairs into the hands of those who were in charge of the workers at the Temple of Jehovah – the woodcutters, carpenters, construction workers, fabricators, quarry workers, and stonemasons – so they could make the necessary repairs.
2Βασ. 12:15:because those who were doing the work were going to contribute such things. Well, all the repairs were finally made to the Temple of Jehovah, and no one had to account for it.
2Βασ. 12:19:So, JoAsh (the king of Judah) gathered all the holy things of his ancestors (JehoShaphat, JehoRam, and AhaziJah) as well as his own holy things and all the gold in the treasury of the Temple of Jehovah and in the king’s palace, and sent it to HazaEl, the king of Syria, so he would leave Jerusalem alone.
2Βασ. 13:2:However, he acted wickedly in the eyes of Jehovah, because he [actively promoted] the sins of JeroBoam (the son of NaBat), who led Israel into sin… and he kept on doing it.
2Βασ. 13:3:So, this provoked Jehovah’s rage against Israel, and he gave them into the hands of HazaEl (the king of Syria) and his son BenAder, throughout his entire reign.
2Βασ. 13:4:However, JehoAhaz went before the face of [Jehovah to beg for help], and Jehovah listened to him, because He saw how badly the king of Syria was oppressing the people of Israel.
2Βασ. 13:5:So, Jehovah freed Israel from bondage to Syria, and the sons of Israel could [once again] sit in their tents in peace, as they used to.
2Βασ. 13:11:He also acted wickedly in the eyes of Jehovah, and he didn’t remove the sins of JeroBoam (the son of NaBat) who led Israel into sin.
2Βασ. 13:17:and said, ‘Now, open the window that faces east!’ And he opened it. Then EliSha said, ‘Now shoot!’ And he shot. Then EliSha said, ‘This is the arrow of the salvation of Jehovah and the arrow of deliverance from Syria. For, you will keep attacking Syria at Aphek until you’ve won!’
2Βασ. 13:23:But Jehovah showed mercy on them, pitied them, and watched over them, because of the Sacred Agreement He had made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and He didn’t allow them to be destroyed or torn from before His face.
2Βασ. 14:3:AmaziJah was an upright man in the eyes of Jehovah, but he wasn’t as righteous as his ancestor David.
2Βασ. 14:6:but he didn’t have their sons killed. [He did] this, because the Law that Jehovah gave to Moses said, ‘Fathers shouldn’t be put to death [for the sins] of their sons, and the sons shouldn’t be put to death [for the sins] of their fathers. Rather, each one should die for his own sins.’
2Βασ. 14:14:Then he carried away all the gold and silver utensils that he found in the Temple of Jehovah, everything in the kings’ treasury and palace, and all the sons of [AmaziJah’s] allies; carrying them all back to Samaria.
2Βασ. 14:24:and he acted wickedly before Jehovah, because he didn’t remove the sins of JeroBoam (the son of NaBat) who led Israel into sin.
2Βασ. 14:25:However, he moved the boundary of Israel from the entrance of HaMath to the sea of ArabAh, just as Jehovah the God of Israel said would happen through His servant Jonah the Prophet, the son of Amathi, from Gath Hepher.
2Βασ. 14:26:But Jehovah saw the bitter humiliation of Israel in that there was little unity, they were being abandoned, and no one would help them, so their size was dwindling.
2Βασ. 14:27:As the result, Jehovah didn’t say anything about wiping their seed out from under the skies, but He used JeroBoam (the son of JehoAsh) to save them.
2Βασ. 15:3:And like his father (AmaziJah), AzariJah did what was right in the eyes of Jehovah.
2Βασ. 15:5:So, Jehovah touched the king and gave him leprosy until the day he died, and he had to live in his own house. As the result, JoTham (the king’s son) was put in charge of the palace family and staff, and he served as the judge of the people of the land.
2Βασ. 15:9:He was very wicked in the eyes of Jehovah and did all the things that his ancestors had done… he practiced all the sins of JeroBoam (the son of NaBat) who led Israel into sin.
2Βασ. 15:12:And as Jehovah told Jehu when He said that his sons would sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation; it came to be so.
2Βασ. 15:18:He too acted wickedly in the eyes of Jehovah, because he didn’t remove the sins of JeroBoam (the son of NaBat) who led Israel into sin.
2Βασ. 15:24:because he also acted wickedly in the eyes of Jehovah by not removing the sins of JeroBoam (the son of NaBat) who led Israel into sin.
2Βασ. 15:28:But he also acted wickedly in the eyes of Jehovah by not removing the sins of JeroBoam (the son of NaBat) who led Israel into sin.
2Βασ. 15:34:He did what was upright in the eyes of Jehovah, as did his father AzariJah;
2Βασ. 15:35:however, he didn’t remove the high places where the people offered sacrifices and burned incense. But he was the one who rebuilt the upper gate to the Temple of Jehovah.
2Βασ. 15:37:It was back in those days that Jehovah started sending RasSon (the king of Syria) and PekAh (the son of RomeliJah) against Judah.
2Βασ. 16:2:He was twenty years old at the time, and he reigned in Jerusalem for sixteen years. However, he didn’t do what was upright in the eyes of Jehovah his God and trust in Him, as did his ancestor David.
2Βασ. 16:8:Then Ahaz took all the silver and gold that he found in the treasuries of the Temple of Jehovah and in the king’s palace, and sent it as a gift to the king of Assyria.
2Βασ. 16:13:(which was made of brass and which was placed before Jehovah).
2Βασ. 16:14:He had the Altar moved forward and placed in front of the Temple of Jehovah, between the Temple and the [old] Altar, and he displayed it next to [the old] Altar, on its north side.
2Βασ. 16:18:He also built a foundation for a royal throne inside the Temple of Jehovah,
2Βασ. 16:19:near the entrance of the king, and he rebuilt the Temple of Jehovah in the presence of the king of Assyria.
2Βασ. 17:2:But he also acted wickedly in the eyes of Jehovah… however, he wasn’t as bad as the kings who came before him.
2Βασ. 17:7:This all happened because the sons of Israel had sinned against Jehovah their God who had brought them out of the land of Egypt and from under the hand of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and they started fearing other gods.
2Βασ. 17:8:They had also started following in the ways of the nations that Jehovah removed from in front of them… and their kings were doing the same things.
2Βασ. 17:9:There were so many things that the sons of Israel did to cover over the words of Jehovah, and so as not to do anything that their God had said; for they [built altars] for themselves in high places near all their cities… from their guard towers to their walled cities.
2Βασ. 17:11:On the high places they burned incense in the same ways that the nations who Jehovah moved far away from them did. And they formed alliances, and carved images to provoke Jehovah to rage.
2Βασ. 17:12:Then they served the very idols that Jehovah had warned them against!
2Βασ. 17:13:However, Jehovah sent warnings to Israel and Judah through all His Prophets (all of whom were Seers) who told them, ‘Turn from your wicked ways and obey My Commandments, My instructions, and all the Laws that I gave to your ancestors, which I sent to you by the hands of My servants the Prophets!’
2Βασ. 17:15:He warned them time and again, but they just wouldn’t do what He said. They did foolish, silly things, and followed in the paths of the nations around them… the very ones that Jehovah had warned them against when He said, ‘Don’t do these things.’
2Βασ. 17:16:They abandoned the Commandments of Jehovah their God, and they made for themselves two heifers of cast metal, and the groves of sacred poles. Then they bowed to all the powerful things in the sky and started serving Baal.
2Βασ. 17:17:They also offered their sons and daughters in fires; they went to fortunetellers to learn the future; and they sold themselves into wickedness in the eyes of Jehovah, provoking Him to anger.
2Βασ. 17:19:But even Judah didn’t follow the Commandments of Jehovah their God, for they followed in the ways of Israel and did the same bad things… pushing Jehovah away!
2Βασ. 17:20:So, Jehovah became enraged with all the seed of Israel and He just shook them off, handing them over to be ripped to pieces, and throwing them away from His face.
2Βασ. 17:21:For Israel had rebelled against the house of David and made JeroBoam (the son of NaBat) their king, and JeroBoam removed Israel from the way of following Jehovah and led them into a great sin.
2Βασ. 17:22:And from then on, the sons of Israel followed along in all the sins that JeroBoam committed, and they never changed their ways until Jehovah removed them from before His face… just as He said He would do, through all His servants the Prophets.
2Βασ. 17:25:Well, from the very beginning, these [new] people wouldn’t fear Jehovah either, so He sent lions among them to kill them.
2Βασ. 17:28:So they brought one of the Priests from Samaria and returned him to BethEl, so he could teach the people there to fear Jehovah.
2Βασ. 17:32:And although they had started fearing Jehovah, they kept the images of their gods in the temples that they built on the high places in Samaria, near the cities where each nation lived. And although they feared Jehovah, they still appointed priests to serve at the temples of the high places.
2Βασ. 17:33:And although they feared Jehovah, they still served the gods of the countries they came from,
2Βασ. 17:34:and they’re still following that same form of worship today. So, although they feared Jehovah, they didn’t follow the instructions, Laws, and Commandments that He gave to the sons of Jacob, to whom He gave the name Israel.
2Βασ. 17:35:For when Jehovah made a Sacred Agreement [with Israel], He told them: ‘Don’t fear other gods! Don’t bow to them, serve them, or offer sacrifices to them.
2Βασ. 17:36:You may only serve Jehovah, the God who led you out of the land of Egypt with His great strength and outstretched arm. You must fear, bow before, and sacrifice to just Him,
2Βασ. 17:39:You should fear only Jehovah your God, for He alone will rescue you from all your enemies,
2Βασ. 17:41:Well, those nations feared Jehovah, but they also served things that they carved for themselves… as did their sons and grandsons, and which they’re still doing today.
2Βασ. 18:3:HezekiJah did what was upright in the eyes of Jehovah (every bit as much as did his ancestor David),
2Βασ. 18:5:He placed his hope in Jehovah the God of Israel, and there were none like him among the kings of Judah… those who lived before him or who came after him.
2Βασ. 18:6:He stuck to Jehovah, he never stopped following Him, and he obeyed all the Commandments that Moses [wrote].
2Βασ. 18:7:So, Jehovah was with him in everything that he did. He was wise and he annulled Judah’s allegiance to the king of Assyria, and refused to serve him.
2Βασ. 18:12:[which happened] because they wouldn’t listen to the voice of Jehovah their God. For they had violated the Sacred Agreement that He made through His servant Moses, and they just refused to listen and do as they were told.
2Βασ. 18:15:he sent him all the silver that he could find in the Temple of Jehovah and in the treasuries of the king’s palace.
2Βασ. 18:22:Or if you should say to me that you’re relying on your God Jehovah; aren’t you the one who removed His high places of worship and His altars, and who told the people of Judah and Jerusalem to bow before the Altar in Jerusalem?
2Βασ. 18:25:‘Do you really think that we came here to destroy this place without [the blessings of Jehovah]? Why, it was Jehovah who told me to attack this land and destroy it!’
2Βασ. 18:30:And don’t listen to HezekiJah when he tells you to put your hope in Jehovah and that He will rescue you and never give you into the hands of the king of Assyria.
2Βασ. 18:32:Because, I’ll come and take you to a land that’s like yoursit’s a land of grain, wine, bread, and vineyardsit’s a land of olive oil and honey, where you can live and not have to be killed. ‘So, don’t listen to HezekiJah, because he’s fooling you when he says that Jehovah will rescue you.
2Βασ. 18:35:Which of the gods of any land have saved their countries from my hand? So, how can Jehovah rescue Jerusalem from my hand?’
2Βασ. 19:1:And as King HezekiJah listened, he ripped off his clothes and dressed himself in sackcloth, and then he went to the Temple of Jehovah.
2Βασ. 19:4:So, if Jehovah your God heard all the things that RapSakes (who was sent by his lord the king of Assyria) said to berate the living God and blaspheme Him – if He heard what was said – then pray to your God on behalf of the few of us who are left [in Judea].’
2Βασ. 19:6:and IsaiJah told them, ‘Tell your lord that this is what Jehovah has said: Don’t be afraid of the words that you heard and the blasphemies of the servants of the king of Assyria.
2Βασ. 19:14:Well, HezekiJah took the letter from the hands of the messengers and read it, and then he went to the Temple of Jehovah and unrolled it before Jehovah.
2Βασ. 19:15:And he prayed, ‘O Jehovah, God of Israel, the One who rests on cherubs; You alone are the God of all the kingdoms of the earth, and the One who made the heavens and the earth.
2Βασ. 19:16:O Jehovah, turn your ear to me and hear! O Jehovah, open your eyes and Look… [read] the words that SenNacherIb sent to berate the living God.
2Βασ. 19:17:For it was You, O Jehovah, who allowed the kings of Assyria to destroy the nations,
2Βασ. 19:19:‘Now, O Jehovah our God; please save us from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth will know that You – Jehovah – are the only [true] God.’
2Βασ. 19:20:Then IsaiJah (the son of Amos) sent a message to HezekiJah that said, ‘This is what Jehovah the God of Israel and of armies has said: I have heard what you said to Me in prayer concerning SenNacherIb (the king of Assyria).
2Βασ. 19:21:And Jehovah went on to speak these words against him: The daughters of Jerusalem will shake their heads at youyou who would treat the virgin daughters of Zion with contempt and sneer at them.
2Βασ. 19:23:you sent your messengers and berated Jehovah! ‘Then you said, With all my chariots I have ridden to the tops of mountains along the borders of Lebanon, and I have cut down their great cedars (their best ones), then I rode among the forests of Carmel.
2Βασ. 19:30:And [Jehovah] will add those who were taken away to those who have been preserved of the house of Judah – like roots beneath the ground – and they too will produce fruitage.
2Βασ. 19:31:For, a remnant will come from Jerusalem and a rescuer will come from Mount Zion. And it is the zeal of Jehovah of armies, which will accomplish this…
2Βασ. 19:32:isn’t that the truth? ‘Now, this is what Jehovah says to the king of Assyria: He won’t enter this city, says Jehovah, he won’t even shoot an arrow there, so no one will have to lift a shield. And he won’t pour dirt to build a mound around the city.
2Βασ. 19:33:For, the way he came is the way he’ll return. He won’t enter this city, says Jehovah.
2Βασ. 19:35:And that’s what happened. For during the night, a messenger of Jehovah came and destroyed the camp of Assyria, killing a hundred-and-eighty-five-thousand men. So, when [the people of Jerusalem] got up the next morning, {Look!} all [they found] was dead bodies.
2Βασ. 20:1:Well, HezekiJah [developed an infection] and was sick to the point of dying. So, the Prophet IsaiJah (the son of Amos) went to see him and said, ‘Jehovah says that you should [settle your affairs], because you’re not going to live… you’re going to die!’
2Βασ. 20:2:And at that, HezekiJah turned his face to the wall and made a vow to Jehovah, saying,
2Βασ. 20:3:‘O Jehovah, remember that I walked before You in truth and with a heart that’s full of good; for I did what was right in Your eyes.’ Then he broke down and cried.
2Βασ. 20:4:Well at the time, IsaiJah was walking out through the courtyard, and these words of Jehovah came to him.
2Βασ. 20:5:‘Return to HezekiJah (the one who is leading My people) and say: I’ve heard your prayer and I’ve seen your tears. So {Look!}, I will heal you on the third day, and then you must go to the Temple of Jehovah.
2Βασ. 20:8:And HezekiJah asked IsaiJah, ‘What’s the sign that Jehovah will heal me, and that I will go to the Temple on the third day?’
2Βασ. 20:9:And IsaiJah said, ‘This is the sign that Jehovah will do the things He said: The shadow on your stairway will go up ten stairs, then go back down ten stairs.’
2Βασ. 20:11:And the Prophet IsaiJah called out to Jehovah, and then the shadow went back down ten stairs.
2Βασ. 20:16:And IsaiJah said, ‘Listen to the words of Jehovah!
2Βασ. 20:17:Look; the days are coming, says Jehovah, when all the things in your palace, and all the treasures that your ancestors have stored away until now will be taken to Babylonthere won’t be a thing Jehovah spoke about that will be left.
2Βασ. 20:19:Then HezekiJah said to IsaiJah, ‘The words of Jehovah are good. But may there be peace during my lifetime!’
2Βασ. 21:2:ManasSeh acted wickedly in the eyes of Jehovah, for he returned to the disgusting practices of the nations that Jehovah had removed from before the sons of Israel.
2Βασ. 21:4:Then he built an altar inside the Temple of Jehovah, because, as he had said, ‘I will have my name remembered in Jerusalem.’
2Βασ. 21:5:And he built an altar to all the powerful things in the sky in two of the courtyards of the Temple of Jehovah.
2Βασ. 21:6:He also sacrificed two of his own sons in fire, and he brought many fortunetellers, diviners, and seers into the land where he established sacred precincts for them. Well, all of this was very wicked in the eyes of Jehovah, which made Him very angry.
2Βασ. 21:7:Then he put carvings of the sacred poles inside the Temple… in the very place where Jehovah had said to David and his son Solomon, ‘This is the house in Jerusalem that I chose out of all the rest of the tribes of Israel as the place to put My Name though the ages.
2Βασ. 21:9:However, they just wouldn’t listen, and ManasSeh misled them into doing things that were even wickeder in the eyes of Jehovah than what the nations did, whom Jehovah had removed from before the sons of Israel.
2Βασ. 21:10:So, Jehovah spoke to them through His servants the Prophets, and said,
2Βασ. 21:12:and this cannot continue!’ Then Jehovah (the God of Israel) said this: ‘{Look!} I’m going to bring so much evil upon Jerusalem and Judah that everyone will hear about it with both of their ears.
2Βασ. 21:16:Also, ManasSeh shed the blood of many innocent [people], so much so, that it filled Jerusalem mouth to mouth… and this was in addition to all the rest of his sins and the ways he led Judah into sin by acting wickedly in the eyes of Jehovah.
2Βασ. 21:20:And like his father ManasSeh, he also acted wickedly in the eyes of Jehovah,
2Βασ. 21:22:and he abandoned Jehovah the God of his ancestors. He certainly didn’t walk in the paths of Jehovah.
2Βασ. 22:2:JosiAh did what was upright in the eyes of Jehovah, and he followed in the paths of his ancestor David. He didn’t swerve to the right or to the left.
2Βασ. 22:3:Well, it was during the eighth month of the eighteenth year of King JosiAh’s reign that the king sent for SaPhan (the son of EselJah and grandson of MesolLam) who was the scribe in the Temple of Jehovah. And he told him,
2Βασ. 22:5:and have him give it to the men who are assigned to work on the Temple of Jehovah!’ So, they gave the money to the men who were working on the Temple of Jehovah, and they used it to repair its walls.
2Βασ. 22:8:Then HelkiJah (the High Priest) went to SaPhan the scribe and reported: ‘We’ve found a scroll of the Law in the Temple of Jehovah!’ So, HelkiJah gave the scroll to SaPhan and he read it,
2Βασ. 22:9:then he carried it to King JosiAh. And when he went before the king, the king said, ‘Set aside more of the silver in the Temple of Jehovah and give it to your servants who are appointed to do the repairs on the Temple.’
2Βασ. 22:13:‘Go and search for Jehovah for my sake and for all my people in the land of Judah, because of the things that this scroll you found says. Why, the anger of Jehovah is surely blazing against us, because we haven’t been paying attention to any of the instructions, or to any of the things that were written about us in this scroll.’
2Βασ. 22:15:And she told them, ‘Jehovah the God of Israel says you should speak to the man who sent you to me
2Βασ. 22:16:and tell him that Jehovah says this: {Look!} I’m bringing bad things against this place and upon those who live here… everything that’s written in the scroll that the king of Judah read.
2Βασ. 22:18:And tell the king of Judah (the one who sent you to inquire of Jehovah) that these are the words of Jehovah the God of Israel, which you’ve heard.
2Βασ. 23:2:And the king went to the Temple of Jehovah with the men of Judah and Jerusalem, the Priests and the Prophets, and all the people (the small and the great), and he read all the words of the scroll of the Sacred Agreement that had been found there.
2Βασ. 23:3:Then the king stood by the column and proposed an agreement with Jehovah; that they would return to Jehovah and obey His Commandments, proclamations, and Laws with all their hearts and souls, and that they would restore His Sacred Agreement that was written in the scroll. Then he had all the people who were there, ratify his agreement.
2Βασ. 23:4:Next, the king had the High Priest HelkiJah (as well as all the other lesser priests and those who guarded the doors) go into the Temple of Jehovah and carry out all the objects for Baal worship, as well as things for the groves of sacred poles, and for the worship of the things in the sky. Then he burned them outside Jerusalem in the Cedar (Kidron) Valley and had the ashes carried off to BethEl.
2Βασ. 23:6:He also had the carvings of the groves of sacred poles carried out of the Temple of Jehovah and outside of Jerusalem to the Cedar (Kidron) Wadi, and he had them burned there and ground to dust, which was then scattered among the tombs in graveyards.
2Βασ. 23:7:Then he had the rooms in the Temple of Jehovah where male prostitutes were kept, and where women wove robes for the worship of the sacred poles, demolished.
2Βασ. 23:9:Then [the king] forbade the priests of the high places to ever be allowed to approach the Altar of Jehovah in Jerusalem, or to share in eating the fermentation-free bread among their brothers.
2Βασ. 23:16:But before he did that, JosiAh noticed the tombs of the people who were buried there in the city, and he had the bones taken from the tombs and burned them on the altar to defile it. So, the [prophecy] of Jehovah, which the man of God spoke on the holiday that JeroBoam called for when he built the altar, was fulfilled. For at that time, the man of God looked toward the graveyard and said,
2Βασ. 23:19:Then [the king] went throughout the cities of Samaria and had all the temples on the high places that the kings of Israel had built to provoke Jehovah to anger, torn down. JosiAh removed them all, along with all the things that were built for worship in BethEl.
2Βασ. 23:21:and he told all the people, ‘Now you must observe the Passover of Jehovah our God, just as it is written in the scroll of this Sacred Agreement.’
2Βασ. 23:23:So, it was in the eighteenth year of King JosiAh that the Passover to Jehovah was once again celebrated in Jerusalem.
2Βασ. 23:24:Then King JosiAh had all the witches, fortunetellers, objects for providing omens, idols, and all the other disgusting things and practices that were taking place in the land of Judah and Jerusalem removed, so the words of the Law that were written in the scroll, which was found by HelkiJah the Priest in the Temple of Jehovah, could be followed once again.
2Βασ. 23:25:Never before was there any king like him who had turned toward Jehovah and to the Law of Moses with his whole heart, strength, and inner person. And after him, no one like him ever arose again.
2Βασ. 23:26:However, none of this turned Jehovah from His rage and great anger against Judah, because of the things that ManasSeh had done.
2Βασ. 23:27:For Jehovah had said, ‘Yes, I will indeed remove Judah from before My face as I removed Israel. I’ll throw this city that I chose (Jerusalem) away, as well as the Temple where I said I will put My Name.’
2Βασ. 23:32:For, he followed in the paths of his ancestors and acted wickedly in the eyes of Jehovah.
2Βασ. 23:37:He also acted wickedly in the eyes of Jehovah and did all the things that his ancestors had done.
2Βασ. 24:2:So during that time, Jehovah sent armed bands of Chaldeans, Syrians, Moabites, and Ammonites against him and the land of Judah, and they were finally overrun, just as Jehovah had foretold through His servants the Prophets.
2Βασ. 24:3:This happened because of the rage of Jehovah against Judah and His purpose to remove them from in front of Him, due to the sins of ManasSeh and all the [bad] things he did.
2Βασ. 24:9:But JehoiAchin followed in the ways of his father and acted wickedly in the eyes of Jehovah.
2Βασ. 24:13:Then he went in and took all the treasures in the Temple of Jehovah, and all the treasures in the king’s palace. And he had all the gold things that Solomon (the king of Israel) had placed in the Temple of Jehovah cut off and removed, just as Jehovah said would happen.
2Βασ. 24:19:And like his father JehoiAchin, he also acted wickedly before Jehovah,
2Βασ. 24:20:so Jehovah’s rage continued against Jerusalem and Judah, until He threw them away from before His face. Then ZedekiJah also annulled his allegiance to the king of Babylon.
2Βασ. 25:9:Then he burned the Temple of Jehovah, the king’s palace, and all the houses of Jerusalem… he burned everything,
2Βασ. 25:13:The Chaldeans also broke up the brass columns in the Temple of Jehovah, its basins, and the Sacred Sea, and carried all the brass back to Babylon.
2Βασ. 25:16:Well, with the two columns, the Sacred Sea, and the bases that Solomon had made for the Temple of Jehovah, no one could estimate the weight of all the brass that they took,
1Χρ. 2:3:The sons of Judah were Er, Onan, and SelOm. All three were born to him through the daughter of Shua the CanaAnite. Er was his firstborn, but he proved to be wicked before Jehovah, so He killed him.
1Χρ. 6:31:These are the ones who David put in charge of the chorus that sang at the Temple of Jehovah when the [Sacred] Chest was brought there.
1Χρ. 6:32:They were also the ones who officiated at the Tent of Proofs until Solomon built the Temple of Jehovah in Jerusalem… and they each handled their own assigned duties.
1Χρ. 9:19:Salom (the son of KorAh, the son of AbiAsaph, the son of Sore) and his brothers of the paternal houses of the Korites. They were in charge of the work and administration of the watches for guarding the Sacred Tent. For, their ancestors were once in charge of the entire camp of Jehovah, and served as guards to its entrances.
1Χρ. 9:20:Back then, PhineHas (the son of EliEzer) stood as their leader before Jehovah,
1Χρ. 9:23:Now, it was their sons who were in charge of the doors and who kept watch at the Temple of Jehovah and the house of the Tent.
1Χρ. 10:13:So, Saul was killed because of the lawless ways in which he had acted against his God. He had gone against the instructions of Jehovah and he didn’t do what he was told. For, Saul had gone to a fortuneteller to speak to the Prophet SamuEl.
1Χρ. 10:14:And because he didn’t ask Jehovah, he was killed and his kingdom was handed over to David, the son of Jesse.
1Χρ. 11:2:And while Saul used to be our king, you were the one who led the armies of Israel, and your God Jehovah said to you, You will take care of My people Israel and you will be their leader.’
1Χρ. 11:3:Then all the elders of Israel came to him in Hebron and made an agreement with King David before Jehovah, and they anointed him to be the king over Israel, just as Jehovah had said through the Prophet SamuEl.
1Χρ. 11:9:And from that point on, David kept becoming greater and more famous, for Jehovah the Almighty was with him.
1Χρ. 11:10:These are the leaders and the mighty ones who were with David and who became great along with him when he ruled over all Israel, because they were the ones who made him king over Israel, just as Jehovah had said:
1Χρ. 11:14:he stood there alone in the middle of the field and saved them by killing [all of] the Philistines. For, Jehovah had used him to bring a great victory.
1Χρ. 11:18:it was these three who attacked the Philistines, drew water from the well at the entrance to BethLehem, and brought it to David. But then David refused to drink it. Rather, he offered it to Jehovah and said,
1Χρ. 12:23:And these are the names of the military generals who came to David in Hebron to fight Saul for his kingdom (according to the words of Jehovah).
1Χρ. 13:2:Then he went before the entire gathering of Israel and said, ‘If you approve, and if our God Jehovah blesses the effort, we should send [a letter] to all our brothers who are left throughout the land of Israel, and to the Priests and Levites in their cities, and invite them all to gather with us.
1Χρ. 13:6:For, all Israel had traveled up to the city of David, which was in Judah, to lead [a procession before] the Chest of Jehovah God (the one with the cherubs sitting on top) that is used to call upon His Name.
1Χρ. 13:10:and Jehovah became enraged with what Oza had done, so He struck him down, because he had touched the Chest; and he died there before God.
1Χρ. 13:11:Well, David was so upset that Jehovah had cut Oza down, that he named that place ‘The Severance of Oza’, which is what it is still called today.
1Χρ. 14:2:Now, David knew that Jehovah had prepared him to be the king over Israel, and that He would make his kingdom become more important because of His people Israel.
1Χρ. 14:10:But first David went before God and asked, ‘Should I go and fight the Philistines, and will You give them into my hands?’ And Jehovah replied, ‘Go, and I will give them into your hands!’
1Χρ. 14:17:and the name of David became known throughout the land, for Jehovah had put the fear of him upon all the nations.
1Χρ. 15:2:Then David said, ‘No one is to handle the Chest of God other than the Levites, because Jehovah has chosen them for that purpose… to carry it and to officiate before Him through the ages.
1Χρ. 15:3:Then David gathered all Israel in Jerusalem to carry the Chest of Jehovah and put it into the place that he had built for it.
1Χρ. 15:26:And to be sure that God would empower them to carry the Chest of Jehovah, the [Priests] first sacrificed seven calves and seven rams.
1Χρ. 15:27:Then David came dressed in fine linen, along with the Levites who would bear the Chest of the Sacred Agreement of Jehovah, the singers, and ChoneniJah (the head of the musicians). Then they wrapped David in a fine linen cape,
1Χρ. 15:28:and all Israel walked ahead of the Chest of the Sacred Agreement of Jehovah, cheering, blowing ram’s horns and trumpets, loudly beating on cymbals, and playing stringed instruments and harps.
1Χρ. 15:29:Then, when the Chest of the Sacred Agreement of Jehovah reached the city of David, Michal (the daughter of Saul) leaned over and looked from her window, and when she saw King David dancing and acting like a child, she inwardly felt contempt for him.
1Χρ. 16:2:And when David completed these offerings, he blest the people in the name of Jehovah.
1Χρ. 16:4:Then he stood before the Chest of the Sacred Agreement of Jehovah and ordered the Levites to shout aloud and acknowledge and praise Jehovah, the God of Israel.
1Χρ. 16:7:So, that was the day when David arranged for Asaph and his brothers to start praising Jehovah.
1Χρ. 16:8:[For they shouted]: ‘Acknowledge Jehovah! Call upon Him by His Name! Tell the people of the things He has done!
1Χρ. 16:11:Seek Jehovah and be strong! ‘Always search for His face!
1Χρ. 16:14:‘He is Jehovah our God! His judgments have filled the whole earth!
1Χρ. 16:23:‘May the whole earth sing to Jehovah! Shout each day about the way that He saves!
1Χρ. 16:25:‘For, Jehovah is great and worthy of praise! He is more to be feared that all other gods,
1Χρ. 16:26:For the gods of the nations are just idols, But Jehovah made the heavens!
1Χρ. 16:28:Give praise to Jehovah, all you families of the nations; Praise Jehovah’s glory and strength!
1Χρ. 16:29:‘Glorify the Name of the Lord! Bring gifts… carry them before His face, Then bow low before Jehovah In His courtyard so holy!
1Χρ. 16:31:You heavens be glad and earth cry in joy! May all the nations admit that Jehovah is their king!
1Χρ. 16:33:Why, even the forests of trees in the fields Will be glad before the face of Jehovah, For He is coming to judge the earth!
1Χρ. 16:34:‘Acknowledge that Jehovah is good, For His mercy lasts through the ages. Save us, O God; deliver us!
1Χρ. 16:36:Praise Jehovah Israel’s God Through the ages and [beyond].’ Then all the people shouted, ‘Amen!’ And they started praising Jehovah.
1Χρ. 16:37:So they left the Chest of the Sacred Agreement of Jehovah there, and Asaph and his brothers served before the Chest continually, each day,
1Χρ. 16:39:However, Zadok the Priest and his fellow Priests stayed before the Tent of Jehovah, which was located in Bala of Gibeon.
1Χρ. 16:40:And there they offered whole burnt offerings on the Altar to Jehovah continually, morning and evening, just as it was written in the Law of Jehovah, as it was given to the sons of Israel by the hand of Moses, God’s servant.
1Χρ. 16:41:Those who were with [the Priests] were Heman, IdiThoum, and all the rest who were chosen by name to praise Jehovah for His mercy through the ages.
1Χρ. 17:1:Then one day, when David was in his palace, he said to the Prophet Nathan, ‘Look; here I am living in a palace of cedars, while the Chest of the Sacred Agreement of Jehovah is sitting under a tent of leather skins.’
1Χρ. 17:3:But that night, the word of Jehovah came to Nathan, saying,
1Χρ. 17:4:‘Go and tell My servant David that this is what Jehovah has said: You may not build a House for Me to stay in,
1Χρ. 17:7:‘So, tell My servant David, that this is what Jehovah the Almighty had decreed: I’ve taken you out of the pastures where you followed the flocks, to lead My people Israel,
1Χρ. 17:10:Why, from the days when I arranged for the Judges [to lead] My people Israel, I’ve humbled all their enemies so My [nation] would grow.So now, a House will be built for Jehovah,
1Χρ. 17:16:Then King David went and sat before Jehovah and said, ‘Who am I, O Lord God… what is [so good about] my house that You’ve loved me through the age?
1Χρ. 17:17:And now it seems that this thing has become less important to You, O God, for You have spoken about this House that your servant [would build] for a long time. But then You looked upon me in a vision that was given to a man and raised me up high, O Jehovah God.
1Χρ. 17:20:‘O Jehovah; There’s none other like You, and there’s no god other than You… no one that we’ve ever heard of.
1Χρ. 17:22:And You’ve appointed Israel as Your people exclusively through the ages. Then You, O Jehovah, have become their God.
1Χρ. 17:23:‘And now, O Jehovah; concerning what You’ve said to Your servant about this House… may the words that You said be trusted through the ages!
1Χρ. 17:24:And may Your Name be trusted and magnified through the ages, O Jehovah the Almighty, the God of Israel. For, You are the God of Israel and of the house of David Your servant, who now stands before You.
1Χρ. 17:25:O Jehovah; You are my God, and now You’ve opened the ears of Your servant about building this House. And it’s because of this that I saw the need to pray before Your face.
1Χρ. 17:26:‘And now, O Jehovah; You are Him… God! You’ve spoken about these good things to Your servant,
1Χρ. 17:27:and You’ve started blessing the house of your servant. So, may it all stand that way before You through the ages. For You, O Jehovah, have blest, and You’ve promised Your blessings through the ages!’
1Χρ. 18:6:and he left a garrison in Syria near Damascus. So, Syria became David’s servant and had to bring tributes to him. Well, Jehovah watched over David, no matter where he went.
1Χρ. 18:11:Then David took all the gold, silver, and brass items that he captured from the nations of Idumea, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, and the Amalechites, and set them aside as holy to Jehovah.
1Χρ. 18:13:Then he placed a garrison in the Valley, and the Idumeans also became David’s servants. Well, Jehovah watched over David, no matter where he went,
1Χρ. 19:13:If we show that we’re [courageous], our people will be stronger; because these are the cities of our God, and Jehovah will do whatever is good in His eyes.’
1Χρ. 21:3:And JoAb said, ‘May Jehovah multiply His people a hundred times. But the eyes of my lord the king can see all of his servants; so, why do you want to do this, my lord? Be careful that you don’t bring a sin upon Israel!’
1Χρ. 21:9:Then Jehovah spoke to Gad, David’s Seer, and said,
1Χρ. 21:10:‘Go speak to David and tell him that this is what Jehovah has said: I will give you a choice of three punishments. Choose which you prefer, and I’ll bring it upon you.’
1Χρ. 21:11:So, Gad went to David and told him, ‘This is what Jehovah has said, Choose for yourself
1Χρ. 21:12:from these three: · Three years of famine · Three months of destruction and fleeing from your enemies · Three days of death in the land, when the messenger of Jehovah will go destroying among all the inheritance of Israel. ‘Now, give me an answer for the One who sent me… which do you choose?’
1Χρ. 21:13:And David told Gad, ‘Those are three very tough choices, so I’ll leave it in the hands of Jehovah, because He is exceptionally compassionate. I don’t want to leave myself in the hands of men.’
1Χρ. 21:14:So, Jehovah sent death throughout all Israel, and seventy thousand men died.
1Χρ. 21:15:Then God sent His messenger to Jerusalem to wipe it out too, but as he was destroying it, Jehovah saw what was happening and felt sorry for the evil. So He said to the messenger who was doing the destroying, ‘That’s enough; stay your hand!’ And at the time, the messenger of Jehovah was standing at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
1Χρ. 21:16:For, David looked up and saw the messenger of Jehovah standing there between the earth and the sky with an unsheathed broadsword in his hand that was stretched out over Jerusalem, and David fell to the ground. Then the elders put on sackcloth and covered their faces.
1Χρ. 21:17:And David said to God, ‘Wasn’t it me who told them to count the people? I’m the one who sinned! I’m the one who told them to do this bad thing! And these sheep; what did they do, O Jehovah God? Bring Your hand and Your destruction against me and the house of my father, not against Your people, O Jehovah.’
1Χρ. 21:18:Then the messenger of Jehovah told Gad, ‘Now, tell David to build an Altar to Jehovah at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.’
1Χρ. 21:19:So David went and did what Gad had told him in the Name of Jehovah.
1Χρ. 21:22:Then David said, ‘Give me your threshing floor, because I want to build an Altar to Jehovah upon it. Tell me how much you want for it, because this will bring an end to the calamity that has been plaguing the people.’
1Χρ. 21:24:And David said to Ornan, ‘No, I want to pay you whatever it’s worth, because there’s no way that I’ll take what’s yours for Jehovah and sacrifice a whole burnt offering for myself free of charge.’
1Χρ. 21:26:then he built an Altar to Jehovah there and sacrificed whole burnt offerings and a deliverance offering, as he yelled out to Jehovah. Well, Jehovah listened to him from the heavens as he stood there by the fire and the whole burnt offerings on the Altar.
1Χρ. 21:27:And Jehovah spoke to the messenger, and he put the broadsword back into its sheath.
1Χρ. 21:28:Then David saw that Jehovah had listened to him there at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, where he had offered the sacrifices.
1Χρ. 21:29:At the time, the Tent of Jehovah that Moses had made was in the desert, as was the Altar for sacrificing whole burnt offerings… it was located in Thama in Gibeon.
1Χρ. 21:30:But David wasn’t able to go there to seek the face of God, because he didn’t want to turn away too quickly from the broadsword that was being held by the messenger of Jehovah.
1Χρ. 22:1:And David said, ‘This is where the Temple of Jehovah our God [will be built], and this is the Altar for the whole burnt offerings of Israel.’
1Χρ. 22:2:Then David said, ‘Gather all the foreigners in the land of Israel.’ And he assigned quarry workers to cut and work stones to build the Temple of Jehovah.
1Χρ. 22:5:Then David said, ‘My son Solomon is still a young boy, but he will erect this great Temple to Jehovah and it will be famous for its glory throughout the whole earth… and I will prepare for it.’ So, David did prepare for it by [collecting] many things before he died.
1Χρ. 22:6:Then he called his son Solomon and told him to build the Temple to Jehovah the God of Israel.
1Χρ. 22:7:And David said to Solomon, ‘My child, it has been in my heart to build a [Temple] to the Name of Jehovah God.
1Χρ. 22:8:But the word of Jehovah came to me that said, You’ve spilled a lot of blood and fought great wars, so you may not build a Temple to My Name because of all the blood that you’ve poured out onto the ground before Me.
1Χρ. 22:11:‘Now, my son; May Jehovah be with you and bless you, for you will build a Temple to your God Jehovah, just as He said you would.
1Χρ. 22:12:And may He give you wisdom, understanding, and make you strong over Israel, so that you will preserve and keep the Laws of Jehovah your God.
1Χρ. 22:13:For, if you carefully obey the instructions and decisions that Jehovah gave to Israel through Moses, He will bless you. So, be a man and be strong! Don’t be weak or afraid!
1Χρ. 22:14:‘Now, {Look!} in my own poor way, I’ve made preparations for the Temple of Jehovah. I’ve collected hundreds of tons of gold, thousands of tons of silver, and so much brass that nobody can estimate its weight. I’ve also collected the wood and stones, and you must add to all of this.
1Χρ. 22:15:‘So, may Jehovah be with you, and may you finish [this project]. Bring together the huge number of craftsmen that will be needed… the stone workers, carpenters, and all the wise men
1Χρ. 22:16:who know how to work gold, silver, brass, and iron. Stand up and act, and Jehovah will be with you!’
1Χρ. 22:18:‘Isn’t Jehovah with you, and hasn’t He provided you with peace all around? He has put everyone who lives here into your hands, and the entire land is now subject to Jehovah and His people.
1Χρ. 22:19:So, search for Jehovah your God with all your hearts and souls. Then come and build a Holy Place to Jehovah your God, where you should place the Chest of the Sacred Agreement of Jehovah and all the rest of the holy things of God. You must build a Temple to the Name of Jehovah!’
1Χρ. 23:4:and of these, twenty-four thousand were [assigned] over the Temple of Jehovah, six thousand were [to be] scribes and judges,
1Χρ. 23:5:four thousand were [to be] gatekeepers, and four thousand were anointed to praise Jehovah with the sacred musical instruments, which were made specifically for that purpose.
1Χρ. 23:13:The sons of AmBram were Aaron and Moses. Then Aaron and his sons were set-aside to [serve in] the Holy of Holies, to burn incense before Jehovah, and to officiate and use the power of His Name through the ages.
1Χρ. 23:24:These were the names of the rulers over the descendants of Levi by houses and family lines who were more than twenty years old and served at the Temple of Jehovah.
1Χρ. 23:25:Then David said, ‘Jehovah the God of Israel has provided rest for His people, and He has camped in Jerusalem through the ages.
1Χρ. 23:28:for he had appointed them to [assist the descendants] of Aaron as they served in the Temple of Jehovah. They were to be in charge of the courtyards, the place of worship, cleansing the holy things, and handling the maintenance of the Temple of God.
1Χρ. 23:30:Each morning and evening they were to praise and acknowledge Jehovah.
1Χρ. 23:31:They also prepared all the whole burnt offerings to Jehovah on the Sabbaths, on the New Moons, and on the holidays (as they were instructed), and they always stood before Jehovah.
1Χρ. 23:32:They stood guard by watches over the Tent of Proofs, over the Holy Place, and over their brothers the sons of Aaron, [whose job was to] officiate inside the Temple of Jehovah.
1Χρ. 24:19:So, this is the way their duties were assigned and the order in which they were to enter the Temple of Jehovah, as these responsibilities were set out by their ancestor Aaron, and which were given to him by Jehovah the God of Israel.
1Χρ. 25:3:Under IdiThoum were his six sons, GodoliJah, SoUri, IseAs, Shimei, AsabiJah, and MatTathiJah. They all played the woodwinds to praise and acknowledge Jehovah.
1Χρ. 25:7:In addition, many others in their families were taught to sing to Jehovah, so altogether there were two hundred and eighty-eight in the chorus.
1Χρ. 26:12:And it was from among them that the heads of the divisions of gate guards descended. They were all rulers and important men who handled the daily rotations of their families as they served in the Temple of Jehovah.
1Χρ. 26:20:The Levites and their families who received the responsibility of being over the treasury in the Temple of Jehovah and watching over the holy things
1Χρ. 26:22:and the sons of JeiEl were ZethOm and JoEl. They and their families were over the treasury of the Temple of Jehovah.
1Χρ. 26:27:They brought these things in from the cities they captured, and [David had them made holy] so that construction of the Temple of Jehovah God wouldn’t be delayed.
1Χρ. 26:30:AsabiJah and his family (descendants of Hebron) – all one thousand, seven hundred of them – were important people, for they watched over Israel on the other side of the Jordan, to their western boundary. They served as representatives of Jehovah and of the king.
1Χρ. 26:32:And at the time, there were two thousand, seven hundred family heads; and (following Jehovah’s instructions) King David had put them in charge of the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of ManasSeh.
1Χρ. 27:23:Now, David never counted the men who were under twenty years old, because Jehovah said that He would cause Israel to grow like the stars in the sky.
1Χρ. 28:2:King David stood in the midst of the assembly and said, ‘Hear me, my brothers and my people; It came into my heart to build a House of rest for the Chest of the Sacred Agreement of Jehovah, and a station for the feet of our [God, Jehovah]. So I have prepared the things that will be needed for this shelter.
1Χρ. 28:4:Yet, Jehovah the God of Israel chose me from all the house of my father to be the king over Israel through the age. He has given the kingship to Judah and to the house of my father. And from among his sons, He chose me, because He wanted me to be the king over Israel.
1Χρ. 28:5:And from among all my sons (and Jehovah has given me many of them), He has chosen my son Solomon and seated him on the throne of His kingdom over Israel.
1Χρ. 28:8:‘And now, before this entire assembly of Jehovah, and within the hearing of our God, I say [to Solomon]: Guard and seek all the Commandments of Jehovah our God, so that you will be the heir of a good land, which your sons can inherit with you through the ages.
1Χρ. 28:9:‘And now, Solomon my son; Know the God of your fathers! Serve Him with a perfect heart and a willing soul, for Jehovah regularly checks the hearts and He knows every thought! If you search for Him you can find Him, but if you leave Him, He will leave you in the end.
1Χρ. 28:10:‘Now, {Look!} Jehovah has chosen you to build a House as His sanctuary, so be strong and act!’
1Χρ. 28:12:He had the plans all laid out in his mind for how the courtyards of the Temple of Jehovah were to be laid out, as well as all the places of worship, the storehouses around the Temple, the storehouses for the holy things, and the sleeping quarters.
1Χρ. 28:13:He had the plans for the daily rotations of the Priests and Levites, the assignments of work at the Temple of Jehovah, the management of the storehouses, and for how the sacred things were to be handled.
1Χρ. 28:18:[Then he gave] pure gold for the incense Altar, plainly showing him how much each one should weigh, and he showed him the plans for the chariot of the cherubs (the ones with open, spread wings that cover the Chest of the Sacred Agreement of Jehovah).
1Χρ. 28:19:David gave everything that was written by the hand of Jehovah to Solomon, to help him understand how to execute the plans.
1Χρ. 28:20:Then David said to Solomon, ‘Be strong and act like a man! Don’t be afraid or terrified, because my God Jehovah is with you. He won’t push you away, and He will never abandon you until you finish all the work of building the Temple of Jehovah. Look! Here are the plans for the Temple, His Sanctuary, His treasury, the upper rooms, the inner storehouses, and the place where [sacrifices are offered] for forgiveness of sins in the Temple of Jehovah.
1Χρ. 28:21:‘And look! Here are the daily rotations for the Priests and Levites (for their service in the Temple of Jehovah), and the people who are [to be] with you. They are eager, wise, and skilled at all sorts of crafts, as are their supervisors; and they’re all ready to follow your instructions.’
1Χρ. 29:1:Then King David said to the assembly: ‘My son Solomon, who Jehovah has taken for Himself, is still young and inexperienced, but he has a great work to do. However, this isn’t going to be accomplished by a man, but by Jehovah God.
1Χρ. 29:5:and to make things of gold and silver… whatever the craftsmen can do with it! And if anyone else is eager to contribute gold to make things of gold, and silver to make things of silver, may he fill his hands for Jehovah today.’
1Χρ. 29:6:Well, the heads of families, the governors of the sons of Israel, the generals, the lieutenants, and the king’s supervisors and managers were eager to contribute to building the Temple of Jehovah.
1Χρ. 29:8:And they gave whatever stones they had to JeiEl the GerShonite to put into the storehouses for the Temple of Jehovah.
1Χρ. 29:9:Well, all the people were very happy because they had shown such eagerness, for their hearts were filled with their zeal for Jehovah. And King David was extremely happy,
1Χρ. 29:10:so he praised Jehovah before the assembly. He said: ‘O Jehovah, the God of Israel, our Father through the ages of ages; May You be praised.
1Χρ. 29:11:For to You, O Jehovah, belongs the greatness, the power, the boasting, the victory, the recognition, and the strength, because You made everything in heaven and on earth. ‘You are our Lord, and all the kings of all the nations are frightened before Your face,
1Χρ. 29:12:for from You comes all the wealth and glory. You’re the Ruler over everything, O Jehovah… You are above all others. And in Your hand there is strength and control; and in Your hand [is the power] to create all fame and mightiness.
1Χρ. 29:13:‘And now, O Jehovah, we acknowledge You and we praise the Name of which You boast.
1Χρ. 29:16:‘O Jehovah our God; all these things that I’ve prepared in order to build a Temple to Your Holy Name have come from Your own hands, because everything belongs to You.
1Χρ. 29:17:And I know, O Jehovah, that You are the One who examines the heart and that You love justice. So, it is with a pure heart that I’ve felt eager to do all these things. And now I’ve also seen gladness and eagerness for You among Your people.
1Χρ. 29:18:‘O Jehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel… the God of our fathers; keep this feeling in the minds and hearts of Your people through the ages, and make their hearts straight toward You!
1Χρ. 29:20:Then David said to the entire assembly, ‘Praise Jehovah our God!’ And everyone there praised Jehovah, the God of their ancestors, and bent their knees to bow low before Jehovah and the king.
1Χρ. 29:21:Thereafter, David offered sacrifices to Jehovah. And on the next day, he sacrificed a thousand calves, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs as whole burnt offerings, as well as drink offerings; and [he offered] many more sacrifices on behalf of Israel.
1Χρ. 29:22:So, they joyfully ate and drank there before Jehovah that day, and they held a second coronation for David’s son Solomon, anointing him as king before Jehovah, and ZaDok as the [High] Priest.
1Χρ. 29:23:And thereafter, Solomon sat on the throne of Jehovah as king in place of his father David, and everyone thought highly of him. For all Israel –
1Χρ. 29:25:And Jehovah made Solomon great before all Israel, giving him greater glory than any king that came before him.
2Χρ. 1:1:Well, Solomon (the son of David) grew stronger in his kingdom because his God Jehovah was with him and made him great.
2Χρ. 1:3:And thereafter, he and the entire assembly went to the high place in Gibeon where God’s Tent of the Proofs was located that Moses (the servant of Jehovah) had made in the desert.
2Χρ. 1:5:However, the bronze Altar that BeseleEl (the son of UriJah and grandson of Or) had made was still there in front of the Tent of Jehovah, and that’s why Solomon and the assembly went there.
2Χρ. 1:6:Then Solomon offered a thousand whole burnt offerings as sacrifices to Jehovah there on the bronze Altar before the Tent of the Proofs.
2Χρ. 1:9:So, O my God Jehovah, may You prove true to Your Name in all the things that You [promised] to my father David. For, You have made me the king over a people that are as vast as the dust on the ground.
2Χρ. 2:1:Then Solomon gave the word to start building the Temple to the Name of Jehovah and a House for His Kingdom.
2Χρ. 2:4:But look, I (his son) am now building a Temple to the Name of my God Jehovah, as a Holy Place for Him. It’s a place to burn incense before Him through the ages and a place for Him to always stay, where we can sacrifice whole burnt offerings in the mornings, evenings, on the Sabbaths, during the New Moons, and on the Lord’s holidays. I’m doing this for Israel.
2Χρ. 2:5:‘Now, the Temple that I am to build will be great, because our God Jehovah is greater than all other gods.
2Χρ. 2:11:So King Hiram of Tyre sent a letter to Solomon that said, ‘Jehovah must love His people to put such a king over them.’
2Χρ. 2:12:And he added, ‘Praise Jehovah the God of Israel who made the heavens and the earth, and who gave King David such a wise son who knows enough and understands enough to build a Temple to Him and a House for His Kingdom
2Χρ. 3:1:Then Solomon started construction on the Temple of Jehovah on Mount MoriAh in Jerusalem, where Jehovah had appeared to his father David on the threshing floor that he had [bought] from Ornan the Jebusite.
2Χρ. 4:16:the foot basins, ladles, cooking pots, meat hooks, and everything else. Then he brought it all to King Solomon at the Temple of Jehovah. It was all made of pure bronze
2Χρ. 4:19:He had everything made [that was needed] for the Temple of Jehovah, including the gold Altar, the tables, the place settings for the bread,
2Χρ. 5:1:After Solomon finished construction on the Temple of Jehovah, he carried in all the holy things of his father David (the things made of silver and gold) and put them into the Temple treasury.
2Χρ. 5:2:And thereafter, he held an assembly in Jerusalem of all the elders of Israel, all the tribal heads, and all the family heads of the sons of Israel, as they brought the Chest of the Sacred Agreement of Jehovah out of the city of David, which was on [Mount] Zion.
2Χρ. 5:7:So the Priests carried the Chest of the Sacred Agreement of Jehovah and placed it inside the Temple, inside the Holy of Holies, beneath the wings of the cherubs.
2Χρ. 5:10:Nothing was in the Chest except the two tablets, which Moses had put there at The Dry Place (Horeb), when Jehovah made the [Agreement] with the sons of Israel after they left the land of Egypt.
2Χρ. 5:13:And they played a loud symphony, which was accompanied by singing, to acknowledge and praise Jehovah. Then the voices, trumpets, cymbals, and the other musical instruments reached a crescendo, singing ‘Jehovah is good and His mercies will last through the ages.’ And at that, the glorious cloud of Jehovah started to fill the Temple.
2Χρ. 5:14:So, the Priests were no longer able to stand there and serve before the face of the cloud, because the glory of Jehovah was filling the Temple of God.
2Χρ. 6:1:Then Solomon said, ‘Jehovah says that He camps in a dark place.
2Χρ. 6:4:And he said, ‘Praise Jehovah the God of Israel, who spoke to my father David with His mouth, and who filled his hands saying,
2Χρ. 6:7:‘Then it came into the heart of my father David to build a Temple to the Name of Jehovah the God of Israel.
2Χρ. 6:8:But Jehovah said to my father David, It’s a good thing that your heart has been moved to build a Temple to My Name.
2Χρ. 6:10:‘Now, Jehovah has made the thing that He said come true, for I have taken the place of my father David, and I am sitting on the throne of Israel, just as Jehovah said. And now I’ve built a Temple to the Name of Jehovah the God of Israel.
2Χρ. 6:11:I’ve also put the Chest of the Sacred Agreement of Jehovah, which He made with Israel, there.’
2Χρ. 6:12:Then [he walked over] and stood against the Altar of Jehovah and raised his arms before the assembly of Israel.
2Χρ. 6:14:and said: ‘Oh Jehovah, God of Israel, there is no other god like You in the heavens or on the earth who keeps his agreements and shows mercy, as You have shown to Your children who are now standing before You with their whole hearts.
2Χρ. 6:16:‘And now, O Jehovah, God of Israel; keep [the promise] that you made with Your servant David (my father) when You said, There will never fail to be a man from you who sits before My face on the throne of Israel, as long as your sons are careful to always obey My Laws, as you have done before Me.’
2Χρ. 6:17:‘And now, O Jehovah, God of Israel; May the things that You said to Your servant David prove to be true;
2Χρ. 6:19:‘Please hear the prayers of Your servant, and listen to these things that I’m begging before You, O Jehovah God; please answer the prayers and petitions that Your servant has brought before You today.
2Χρ. 6:39:listen to the things that they beg and pray for from Your home in the heavens, and bring them justice. Forgive Your people for their sins against You, O Jehovah. Open Your eyes and ears to the things that people beg for [in the direction of] this place!
2Χρ. 6:41:‘And now, O Jehovah our God; Awaken from Your rest when it comes to this Chest of Your strength, and to Your Priests, O Lord our God. May they wrap themselves in Your salvation, and may Your sons rejoice in good things!
2Χρ. 6:42:O Jehovah our God; Don’t turn Your face away from Your anointed one. Remember the [goodness] of Your servant David!’
2Χρ. 7:1:Then, as Solomon was finishing his prayer, fire came down from the sky and consumed the whole burnt offerings and the sacrifices; and the glory of Jehovah filled the Temple.
2Χρ. 7:2:So the Priests couldn’t enter the Temple at that time, because the glory of Jehovah filled the Temple.
2Χρ. 7:3:Now, when all the sons of Israel saw the fire come down and the glory of Jehovah in the Temple, they all fell to the stone pavement with their faces to the ground, bowing low and praising Jehovah, [saying], ‘He is good, and He is merciful through the ages.’
2Χρ. 7:4:And then the king and all the people offered [more] sacrifices before Jehovah.
2Χρ. 7:6:Meanwhile, the Priests were standing watch, and the Levites were playing songs that were written to Jehovah by King David on their [musical] instruments, [and singing] the songs they had written, which acknowledged before Jehovah His mercy through the ages. Then the Priests stood out in front and blew their trumpets, as the people stood there [listening].
2Χρ. 7:7:Thereafter, Solomon made the middle of the courtyard of the Temple of Jehovah holy by sacrificing whole burnt offerings and the fat of salvation. However, the bronze Altar that Solomon had made wasn’t large enough to handle all the whole burnt offerings, gift offerings, and fat.
2Χρ. 7:10:So, on the twenty-third day of the seventh month, he sent the people back to their homes, and they all left joyfully and with happy hearts over all the good things that Jehovah had done to David, Solomon, and His people Israel.
2Χρ. 7:11:Now, Solomon had completed the Temple of Jehovah, his own palace, and everything else that he wanted to do for the Temple of Jehovah, and his house prospered.
2Χρ. 7:12:Then Jehovah appeared to Solomon one night and said to him: ‘I’ve heard your prayers, and I’ve chosen this place for Myself as a Temple for sacrifices.
2Χρ. 7:21:Then people who pass by this Temple that I’ve made so important will be shocked and ask, Why did Jehovah do all this to this land and to this house?
2Χρ. 7:22:And they will be told, Because they abandoned Jehovah, the God of their ancestors who led them out of the land of Egypt, and they started following other gods, bowing before them and serving them. That’s why God has brought all these bad things upon them.
2Χρ. 8:1:It was some twenty years after Solomon finished building the Temple of Jehovah and his palace,
2Χρ. 8:11:Then Solomon built a palace for the daughter of Pharaoh outside the city of David, where he sent her to live. For he said: ‘You may not live as the wife of the king of Israel inside the city of David, for it is holy due to the fact that the Chest of Jehovah is there.’
2Χρ. 8:12:Solomon also sacrificed whole burnt offerings on the Altar that he built to Jehovah (in front of the Temple)
2Χρ. 9:4:the food on his tables, what his servants looked like, the stations and uniforms of his wine servers, and all the whole burnt offerings that he sacrificed at the Temple of Jehovah, she was beside herself.
2Χρ. 9:8:May your God Jehovah be praised for choosing you and putting you on His throne as the king. Your God Jehovah must have a great love for Israel and [and must plan] for it to last through the ages, that He would put you as king over them as their righteous judge.’
2Χρ. 9:11:The king used the wood to build the entryway stairs to the Temple of Jehovah, and to his palace, as well as harps and other stringed instruments for his musicians. And nothing like this had ever been seen before in the land of Judah.
2Χρ. 11:2:But Jehovah told the Man of God ShemaiJah,
2Χρ. 11:3:‘Tell RehoBoam (the son of Solomon, the king Judah) and all Israel, Judah, and BenJamin, that Jehovah says you must not go and attack your brothers. Everyone must just go back home, because I have said this!’
2Χρ. 11:4:As the result, they obeyed the words of Jehovah and they didn’t attack JeroBoam.
2Χρ. 11:14:They left their homes and all their possessions, and moved to Judah and unto Jerusalem, because JeroBoam and his sons drove them out, so they wouldn’t represent [Jehovah in his land].
2Χρ. 11:16:He also drove everyone out of the tribes of Israel whose hearts belonged to Jehovah the God of Israel. And they all moved to Jerusalem, where they could sacrifice to Jehovah the God of their ancestors.
2Χρ. 12:1:Well, once RehoBoam was firmly established on his throne, he abandoned the Commandments of Jehovah, and all Israel followed along.
2Χρ. 12:2:Then in the fifth year of the reign of RehoBoam, Shishak (the king of Egypt) attacked Jerusalem, because they had sinned against Jehovah.
2Χρ. 12:5:Thereafter, the Prophet ShemaiJah went to RehoBoam and the governors of Judah who had fled to Jerusalem, and said to them, ‘Jehovah says, You have abandoned Me, so I will abandon you into the hands of Shishak.’
2Χρ. 12:6:Well, the king and all the governors of Judah were ashamed, and they said, ‘Jehovah is just.’
2Χρ. 12:7:And when Jehovah saw their shame, He sent word to ShemaiJah, saying, ‘They feel ashamed, so I won’t destroy them totally. I will give them some small consideration, and I won’t pour out all My rage upon Jerusalem.
2Χρ. 12:9:Then Shishak (the king of Egypt) attacked Jerusalem and took all the treasures that were in the Temple of Jehovah, as well as all the treasures in the king’s palace, including the gold shields that Solomon had made
2Χρ. 12:11:so whenever the king went to the Temple of Jehovah, they would go along and watch him, and then return with him.
2Χρ. 12:12:Well, because he felt ashamed, the anger of Jehovah turned away from him and he didn’t remain corrupt to the end. So things went well for Judah,
2Χρ. 12:13:as RehoBoam continued reigning in Jerusalem, and he started to regain his power. RehoBoam was forty-one-years-old when he started his reign, and he ruled in Jerusalem (the city from among all the tribes of Israel where Jehovah chose to put His Name) for seventeen years. His mother’s name was NoOmMa (she was an Ammonite).
2Χρ. 12:14:But he continued to act wickedly, because he could never straighten out his heart toward seeking Jehovah.
2Χρ. 13:5:Don’t you know that Jehovah the God of Israel appointed King David to rule over Israel through the ages, and that He made a salt agreement with his sons?
2Χρ. 13:8:‘And now you dare to speak of resisting the kingdom of Jehovah and the hands of the sons of David, and you’ve gathered a huge army against us. But your gods are the gold calves that JeroBoam made for you.
2Χρ. 13:9:Didn’t you drive out the Priests of Jehovah… the sons of Aaron and the Levites? And didn’t you choose your own priests from among the people of the land? So, just anyone who came and offered seven rams was made the priest of something that isn’t even a God!
2Χρ. 13:10:But we have Jehovah as our God, and we haven’t abandoned Him! His Priests, the sons of Aaron and the Levites, still serve before Jehovah in their daily rotations and offer whole burnt offerings to Jehovah in the mornings and evenings. They also burn the [sacred] incense, lay the [sacred] bread loaves on the table, and serve before the sacred lampstand of pure gold, keeping the lamps burning to light the nights.
2Χρ. 13:11:‘We’re the ones who guard the watches of Jehovah the God of our ancestors, and you’re the ones who have abandoned Him.
2Χρ. 13:12:So {Look!} Jehovah is leading us, and His Priests are blowing the signal trumpets that testify against you and the sons of Israel. You can’t fight against Jehovah the God of your ancestors, because what you’re doing won’t be blest!’
2Χρ. 13:14:they found that they were being attacked from the front and from the rear. So they yelled to Jehovah and the Priests started blowing their trumpets.
2Χρ. 13:15:And when the men of Judah started calling to Jehovah, He struck JeroBoam and Israel, there before AbiJah and Judah.
2Χρ. 13:16:And then the sons of Israel turned and ran from Judah. So Jehovah saved them from their hands.
2Χρ. 13:18:So the sons of Israel were disgraced that day, and the sons of Judah became stronger, because they trusted in Jehovah the God of their ancestors.
2Χρ. 13:20:So JeroBoam was no longer strong during the rest of AbiJah’s lifetime, because Jehovah struck him and ended him.
2Χρ. 14:2:and he did good things and was righteous before his God Jehovah.
2Χρ. 14:4:Then he urged Judah to search for Jehovah, the God of their ancestors, and to obey His Laws and Commandments.
2Χρ. 14:6:So everything was peaceful, and there were no wars during that period, because Jehovah gave him rest.
2Χρ. 14:7:Then [Asa] said to the people of Judah: ‘We should rebuild all our cities and give them walls, towers, gates, and bars. For, since we’ve been searching for our God Jehovah, He has been searching for us, and He’s provided us rest all around and blest us.’
2Χρ. 14:11:Then Asa called to Jehovah his God and said, ‘O Jehovah; It isn’t impossible for You to save with many or with few, so strengthen us, O Jehovah God, for we will trust in You. We’ve come against this huge army in Your Name, O Jehovah our God, so don’t allow any man to defeat You!’
2Χρ. 14:12:Well, Jehovah cut down the Ethiopians before Judah, and they fled.
2Χρ. 14:13:Then Asa and his men chased after them all the way to Gedor. And there the Ethiopians couldn’t find a place to hide, so they were cut down and defeated before Jehovah and his army, and they carried away much loot.
2Χρ. 14:14:Now, because Jehovah was with them, the whole situation was reversed; for [Judah] attacked and destroyed all the towns around Gedor, and they ravaged all the [Ethiopian] cities, carrying away a huge amount of loot.
2Χρ. 15:1:Then the Breath of Jehovah came over AzariJah (the son of Oded), and he went to meet with Asa, all Judah, and [the tribe of] BenJamin. And he said, ‘Hear me Asa, and all Judah, and BenJamin!
2Χρ. 15:2:As long as you’re with Him, Jehovah will be with you. And if you search for Him, you’ll find Him. However; If you abandon Him, He’ll abandon you.
2Χρ. 15:4:But since [the people] have returned to Jehovah the God of Israel, He will be found by them.
2Χρ. 15:5:‘There has been no peace for those who enter or leave [our cities, until now], but Jehovah has brought a change of state to all those who live everywhere.
2Χρ. 15:8:Well, after he heard these words of the Prophet AzariJah, Asa was moved to drive all the disgusting things out of the land of Judah and BenJamin. He dedicated all the [idols] that JeroBoam had captured in the mountains of EphraIm [to destruction], [and he repaired] the Altar of Jehovah that was in front of His Temple.
2Χρ. 15:9:Then he [called an] assembly of Judah, BenJamin, and those of the tribes of EphraIm, ManasSeh, and Simeon who were living among them (for many had moved there from Israel when they saw that Jehovah God was with him).
2Χρ. 15:11:and he sacrificed part of the things they had captured to Jehovah that day… seven hundred calves and seven thousand sheep.
2Χρ. 15:12:And they all agreed to search for Jehovah the God of their ancestors with their whole hearts and souls.
2Χρ. 15:13:They also agreed that anyone who refused to search for Jehovah the God of Israel should die, whether they are young or old, male or female.
2Χρ. 15:14:So everyone swore an oath to Jehovah in a loud voice, as the trumpets and horns were being blown.
2Χρ. 15:15:And everyone in Judah was delighted to swear the oath with their whole souls… freely and of their own will. So they searched for Jehovah and they found Him; then He rested among them.
2Χρ. 16:2:Then Asa took silver and gold from the treasury in the Temple of Jehovah and the king’s palace, and sent it to BenAder, the king of Syria who lived in Damascus, saying:
2Χρ. 16:7:Thereafter, the Prophet HanaNi went to Asa (the king of Judah) and said to him: ‘Because you relied on the king of Syria and you didn’t put your trust in your God Jehovah, the army of Syria won’t remain under your control.
2Χρ. 16:8:Don’t [you remember] how large and courageous the armies of the Ethiopians and Libyans were, and how vast their cavalry was? And when you relied on Jehovah, He gave them into your hands.
2Χρ. 16:9:For the eyes of Jehovah search throughout the earth looking to strengthen any heart that is devoted to Him. But now I want you to know that you’re going to have to go to war.’
2Χρ. 16:12:It was during the thirty-ninth year of Asa’s reign that he became seriously ill, for he was having problems with his feet. And rather than going to Jehovah for help, he went to the physicians.
2Χρ. 17:3:Now, Jehovah was with JehoShaphat, because he started out by following in the ways of his ancestor David.
2Χρ. 17:4:He didn’t [worship] any of the idols… just Jehovah, the God of his father. He obeyed the commandments of his father and he didn’t follow in the ways of Israel.
2Χρ. 17:5:So, Jehovah strengthened the kingdom under his hands, and all Judah sent him gifts. As the result, he became very rich and powerful.
2Χρ. 17:6:He followed in the ways of [Jehovah faithfully], and he again removed all the high places of worship and all the sacred poles from the land of Judah.
2Χρ. 17:9:So they traveled throughout Judah with the book of the Law of Jehovah, going to each city and teaching [God’s Law] to the people.
2Χρ. 17:10:As the result, Jehovah brought a change over all the surrounding kingdoms, because they no longer went to war against JehoShaphat.
2Χρ. 17:16:AmasiJah (the son of Zari, who was known for his zeal for Jehovah), the leader of two-hundred-thousand strong, mighty men.
2Χρ. 18:4:However, JehoShaphat said to the king of Israel, ‘But first, let’s ask for [Jehovah’s direction]!’
2Χρ. 18:6:But then JehoShaphat asked, ‘Aren’t there any Prophets of Jehovah who we can ask?’
2Χρ. 18:7:And the king of Israel replied, ‘There’s one man who searches for answers from Jehovah, but I detest him, because he never prophesies anything good for me. All he ever tells me is bad things. He is MichaiJah, the son of JemBla.’ But JehoShaphat said, ‘The king shouldn’t talk that way!’
2Χρ. 18:13:And MichaiJah replied, ‘As Jehovah lives, I’ll say whatever God tells me to say.’
2Χρ. 18:15:But the king said, ‘How often do I have ask you to swear to only tell me the truth in the Name of Jehovah?’
2Χρ. 18:16:And MichaiJah said, ‘I see Israel being scattered in the mountains, like sheep without a shepherd. For Jehovah said, They will be without a leader, so each one should return to his house in peace.’
2Χρ. 18:18:And MichaiJah said, ‘That isn’t so! [These are] the words of Jehovah! For, I saw Jehovah sitting on His Throne, and all the armies of the heavens were sitting beside Him on His right and on His left.
2Χρ. 18:19:Then Jehovah asked: Who could I send to deceive Ahab the king of Israel, so that he attacks RaMoth Gilead and is defeated? Then one suggested this and another that,
2Χρ. 18:20:but then a spirit stepped forward into the presence of Jehovah
2Χρ. 18:2:and said, I can fool him! And when Jehovah asked how,
2Χρ. 18:22:‘As the result {Look!}, Jehovah has put a lying spirit into the mouths of all these, your prophets. And it was Jehovah who spoke these bad things against you, [not me].’
2Χρ. 18:27:And MichaiJah said, ‘Well, as Jehovah told me; you’re not going to return in peace… Listen all you people!’
2Χρ. 18:31:So when the generals in charge of the chariots saw JehoShaphat, they shouted: ‘That’s the king of Israel!’ And they surrounded him and prepared to attack. But JehoShaphat called out, and Jehovah saved him by turning them away from him.
2Χρ. 19:2:the Prophet Jehu (the son of AnaNi) came to meet him. And he said, ‘O King JehoShaphat; Why did you befriend and help a sinner who is hated by Jehovah? Now, because you did this, you’ve brought Jehovah’s anger upon yourself.
2Χρ. 19:3:However, good things have been said about you, because you removed the sacred poles from the land of Judah, and you’ve straightened your heart to search for Jehovah.’
2Χρ. 19:4:So thereafter, JehoShaphat continued to live in Jerusalem, and he once again went to all the people (from BeerSheba to the mountains of EphraIm) to turn them to Jehovah, the God of their ancestors.
2Χρ. 19:6:And he told the judges: ‘Pay close attention to what you’re doing, because you aren’t judging for men. Rather, the decisions you make are for Jehovah,
2Χρ. 19:7:so may the fear of God rest upon you! And be careful about how you act, for your God Jehovah isn’t unjust; He doesn’t pay any attention to what a man looks like, nor does He accept bribes!’
2Χρ. 19:8:Then JehoShaphat brought the Levites, the Priests, and the patriarchs of Israel to Jerusalem to serve as judges for Jehovah, and to judge the people of Jerusalem.
2Χρ. 19:9:And the instructions he gave to them were: ‘You must [judge] with the fear of Jehovah… in truth, and with a [pure] heart.
2Χρ. 19:10:You must warn each man among your brothers who comes to you for justice from any of the cities, whether it’s a matter of blood, of order, of the Commandments, of the Law, or of the decisions [of God], that they must not sin against Jehovah. And so that He doesn’t become angry with you or your brothers, you must [remember this also] and not sin.
2Χρ. 19:11:‘{Look!} I’ve appointed AmariJah the Priest over you, because every decision is the word of Jehovah. Also, ZabdiJah (the son of IshMaEl) is in charge of the house of Judah when it comes to the decisions of the king. And the scribes and Levites are there [to help you]. So be strong and act; and then Jehovah will bless the good!’
2Χρ. 20:3:Well, this frightened JehoShaphat and he went to seek [Jehovah’s] guidance; then he proclaimed a fast in all Judah.
2Χρ. 20:4:And thereafter, all Judah gathered to seek Jehovah’s help, coming from all the cities of the land.
2Χρ. 20:5:Then JehoShaphat stood up before the entire assembly of Judah in Jerusalem, at the Temple of Jehovah (in front of the new courtyard),
2Χρ. 20:6:and said: ‘O Jehovah, the God of my fathers; Aren’t You the God of all that’s above the sky, and don’t You dominate all the kingdoms of the nations? Don’t Your hands have the strength to dominate everything, and can anyone stand against You?
2Χρ. 20:7:For, You are Jehovah… You’re the One who destroyed those who lived in this land from before your people Israel, and You gave the land to the seed of Abraham… he who loved you through the age.
2Χρ. 20:9:‘Now, [the people have said]: Should any bad things come against us, such as war, judgments, plague, or famine, we will come and stand before You, and You will save us; for the battle Is Jehovah’s.
2Χρ. 20:12:‘O Jehovah our God; Won’t You condemn them? Why, we aren’t strong enough to resist such a huge army, and we don’t know what to do to them. So, we’re all looking to You!’
2Χρ. 20:13:Well, all Judah was standing there before Jehovah, including their wives and children.
2Χρ. 20:14:Then the Breath of Jehovah came over OziEl (the son of ZachariJah, a descendant of BenaiJah, the son of EliEl, the son of MathaniJah the Levite of the sons of Asaph) as he stood there in the assembly.
2Χρ. 20:15:And he said, ‘Listen all Judah, you who live in Jerusalem, and King JehoShaphat; for this is Jehovah’s reply to you: Don’t be afraid of that huge army, because this battle isn’t yours, it belongs to God!
2Χρ. 20:17:However, don’t attack them, just stand there and watch; and then you’ll see that the deliverance of Jehovah is with you, O Judah and Jerusalem. Don’t worry and don’t be frightened, for when you march to meet them tomorrow, Jehovah will be with you!
2Χρ. 20:18:Then JehoShaphat bowed to his face, and all Judah and the people of Jerusalem fell to their faces before Jehovah.
2Χρ. 20:19:And the Levites (the sons of KoHath and KorAh) got up and started praising Jehovah the God of Israel, calling out loudly toward the heavens.
2Χρ. 20:20:Well, they got up early the next morning and marched into the ThecoE Desert. And as they were marching, JehoShaphat got up and shouted: ‘Hear me, O Judah and those who live in Jerusalem! Trust in Jehovah and you’ll find His trust… trust in His Prophet and you’ll be blest!’
2Χρ. 20:21:Then [he marched with] the people, and he sent the singers and [the Priests] who offer holy praise and acknowledgements, to march ahead of the army. And they were shouting, ‘Praise Jehovah and His mercy through the ages!’
2Χρ. 20:22:Well, as they were shouting these praises and acknowledgements, Jehovah caused the sons of Ammon to turn against Moab and the people of the mountains of Seir who were marching against Judah, and they all turned and started running away.
2Χρ. 20:26:Then on the fourth day, they all assembled in the Canyon of Blessing (which is what they started calling it because Jehovah had blest them there), and it’s still called the Valley of Blessing to this day.
2Χρ. 20:27:Then all the men of Judah marched back to Jerusalem joyfully, with JehoShaphat taking the lead. For, everyone was so happy over what Jehovah had done to their enemies.
2Χρ. 20:28:And as they entered Jerusalem, they were playing stringed instruments, woodwinds, and trumpets, and they went to the Temple of Jehovah.
2Χρ. 20:29:Then Jehovah brought a change of state upon all the kingdoms of the land, for when they heard that Jehovah was fighting against the enemies of Israel,
2Χρ. 20:32:He followed in the ways of his father Asa, and he never turned aside from doing what was upright before Jehovah.
2Χρ. 20:33:But the high places of worship were still there, and the people never straightened out their hearts to Jehovah the God of their ancestors.
2Χρ. 20:35:But later on, JehoShaphat (the king of Judah) [displeased Jehovah] by working with AhaziJah (the king of Israel) to build boats in Ezion Geber that they could sail to Tarshish.
2Χρ. 20:37:‘Because you befriended AhaziJah, Jehovah has destroyed all your work and broken your boats to pieces.’ As the result, they never sailed to Tarshish.
2Χρ. 21:6:But he started acting like the kings of Israel and doing the same things as the house of Ahab, acting wickedly before Jehovah, because he married the daughter of Ahab.
2Χρ. 21:7:However, Jehovah didn’t want to destroy the house of David due to the agreement that He had made with David, when He told him that He would give him and his sons [as] a lamp through all the days.
2Χρ. 21:10:So Edom has continued their revolt against Judah down to this day. Then Lobna revolted and became free of [JehoRam’s] rule, because he had abandoned Jehovah the God of his ancestors…
2Χρ. 21:12:Then [JehoRam] received a letter from the Prophet EliJah that said, ‘This is what Jehovah the God of your ancestor David has said: Because you haven’t followed in the ways of your father JehoShaphat, or in the ways of Asa the king of Judah,
2Χρ. 21:14:{Look!} Jehovah is going to bring a great calamity upon you, your people, your sons, your wives, and everything you own…
2Χρ. 21:16:So Jehovah sent the Philistines, the Arabians, and the people from around Ethiopia against JehoRam,
2Χρ. 21:18:And thereafter, Jehovah struck him with a disease of the belly that couldn’t be cured,
2Χρ. 22:4:So, like the house of Ahab, he acted wickedly before Jehovah, because [Ahab’s family] were his counselors after his father died, and they led him into destruction.
2Χρ. 22:7:for he joined with JehoRam to fight against Jehu (the son of NimShi), the one who Jehovah had anointed to destroy the house of Ahab.
2Χρ. 22:9:Then Jehu told [his men] to search for AhaziJah, and they caught up with him at the hospital in Samaria. So they showed Jehu where he was, and then Jehu killed him. But they buried him in a tomb, for they said, ‘He’s the descendant of JehoShaphat, a man who searched for Jehovah with his whole heart.’ Thereafter, with the death of AhaziJah, there was no one left to rule his kingdom.
2Χρ. 23:1:Well, after seven years, JehoiAda figured that the time had finally come. So he took several army lieutenants (AzariJah the son of JehoRam, IshMaEl the son of JoAnan, AzariJah the son of Obed, MaAseJah the son of AdiJa, and EliSaphan the son of ZachariJah) with him into the Temple of Jehovah.
2Χρ. 23:3:and this whole gathering of Judah made a sacred agreement with the king there at the Temple of God. For, [JehoiAda] showed the king’s son to them and said, ‘Look… this is the king’s son! So, may he now become the king, just as Jehovah said concerning the house of David!
2Χρ. 23:5:a third must surround the king’s palace; and a third must occupy the central gate. Then all the people must assemble in the courtyards of the Temple of Jehovah
2Χρ. 23:6:but don’t allow anyone to go into the Temple who isn’t a Priest or Levite! Allow all the officiating Levites to enter, because they are holy, and all the rest should guard the watches of Jehovah.
2Χρ. 23:12:Well, when AthaliJah heard the sounds of the people running and shouting, praising the king, she went to the Temple of Jehovah
2Χρ. 23:14:But JehoiAda the Priest told the army lieutenants, ‘Throw her out of the Temple, then take her outside and kill her with your swords… don’t kill her inside the Temple of Jehovah!’
2Χρ. 23:16:Then JehoiAda proclaimed an agreement between himself, the people, and the king, that they were all going to be Jehovah’s people.
2Χρ. 23:18:Thereafter, [High] Priest JehoiAda commissioned the Priests and Levites to refurbish the Temple of Jehovah, and he reestablished the assignments and daily rotations of the Priests and Levites as they were set up by David for the Temple of Jehovah. Then he sacrificed whole burnt offerings to Jehovah in the way that was written in the Law of Moses, as they played the joyous songs that were written by David.
2Χρ. 23:19:Thereafter, the gatekeepers were assigned at the gates of the Temple of Jehovah, to prevent anyone who was unclean in any way from entering.
2Χρ. 23:20:And he gathered the family heads, the dignitaries, the people’s governors, and all the people of the land, and they conducted the king into Temple of Jehovah through the inner gate of the king’s palace, and sat him on the king’s throne.
2Χρ. 24:2:JoAsh did what was right before Jehovah for as long as the [High] Priest JehoiAda was alive.
2Χρ. 24:4:After that, it came into the heart of JoAsh to repair the Temple of Jehovah.
2Χρ. 24:5:So he brought together all the Priests and Levites and said to them, ‘Go into all the cities of Judah and Israel each year and collect enough money to strengthen the Temple of Jehovah… go do it quickly!’ Well, the Levites didn’t do anything,
2Χρ. 24:7:Why, it is [Queen] AthaliJah who is to blame [for its condition], because it was her sons who wrecked the Temple of Jehovah, then they took all its holy things and dedicated them to Baal Im.’
2Χρ. 24:8:‘Then the king said: ‘Make a [collection] chest and place it just outside of the entrance to the Temple of Jehovah.
2Χρ. 24:9:Then have them travel throughout Judah, Jerusalem, Israel, and into the desert, and tell [the people] to bring the amount that was specified by Moses (the servant of God) to Jehovah.’
2Χρ. 24:12:which the king gave to the Priest JehoiAda and to those who were doing the work on the Temple of Jehovah, for they hired the stonecutters, carpenters, and metalworkers that were needed to repair Jehovah’s Temple.
2Χρ. 24:14:Then after it was done, they carried the rest of the money to King JoAsh and JehoiAda, and they made things that were required for the services at the Temple, such as gold incense pans, and other items of silver and gold. Then whole burnt offerings were sacrificed at the Temple of Jehovah throughout the life of JehoiAda.
2Χρ. 24:18:Then they abandoned the Temple of Jehovah the God of their ancestors, and started serving the Astartes and the idols… which has brought [God’s] anger upon Judah and Jerusalem down to this day.
2Χρ. 24:19:So [God] sent His Prophets to turn them back to Jehovah, and they warned the people, but they just wouldn’t listen.
2Χρ. 24:20:Then the Breath of God came over AzariJah the Priest (who was JehoiAda’s son), and he went before the people and told them, ‘This is what Jehovah has said: Why are you overlooking My Commandments so the things you’re doing won’t be blest? You have abandoned Jehovah, so He will abandon you!’
2Χρ. 24:21:Well, following the orders of King JoAsh, they attacked him and stoned him to death there in the courtyard of Jehovah’s Temple.
2Χρ. 24:22:For, JoAsh had forgotten the mercy that JehoiAda (the father of [AzariJah]) had shown him, and had his son murdered. And as [AzariJah] was dying, he said: ‘Look down upon this O Jehovah, and judge!’
2Χρ. 24:24:For, although the army of Syria that came against them wasn’t very large, God gave [Judah] and their huge army into their hands, because they had abandoned Jehovah the God of their ancestors. They also punished JoAsh,
2Χρ. 25:2:Now, he did what was upright before Jehovah, but not with his whole heart.
2Χρ. 25:4:but he didn’t kill their sons, because of what was written in the Sacred Agreement of the Law of Jehovah, where Jehovah said, ‘Fathers should not be put to death for their children, and sons should not die for their fathers.’
2Χρ. 25:7:And thereafter, the man of God came to him and said, ‘O king; You should not march with the forces of Israel, because Jehovah isn’t with Israel or any of the descendants of EphraIm.
2Χρ. 25:8:And if you should choose to build your army with them, Jehovah will make you run from your enemies. Because, Jehovah can either make you stronger or cause you to run.’
2Χρ. 25:9:Then AmaziJah asked the man of God: ‘But what should I do about the three-tons of silver that I paid for the soldiers of Israel?’ And the man of God replied, ‘Jehovah can repay you with more than that.’
2Χρ. 25:15:So Jehovah became very angry with AmaziJah, and sent His Prophet, who asked him, ‘Why are you looking to gods who weren’t able to save their own people from your hands?’
2Χρ. 25:20:Well, AmaziJah just wouldn’t listen, because Jehovah planned to hand him over to JehoAsh, due to his trusting in the gods of the Idumeans.
2Χρ. 25:24:Then [JehoAsh] took all the gold and silver, all the things that he found in the Temple of Jehovah, the things being cared for by ObedEdom, and all the treasures in the king’s palace. He also took away several of the sons of [AmaziJah’s] allies, and he returned to Samaria.
2Χρ. 25:27:But after AmaziJah [rebelled] against Jehovah, there was an attempt to assassinate him, so he fled Jerusalem and went to LachIsh. And after he got to LachIsh, they found him and killed him there.
2Χρ. 26:4:[UzziJah] did what was upright before Jehovah, every bit as much as did his father AmaziJah.
2Χρ. 26:5:He searched for Jehovah throughout the entire life of ZachariJah, who was the one that [showed him] the need to fear Jehovah. So, during that time he searched for Jehovah, and all his ways were blest.
2Χρ. 26:7:For, Jehovah gave him power over the Philistines, the Arabians, those who lived on The Rock, and the Minaeans.
2Χρ. 26:16:However, after he became strong, his heart became very corrupt and he started sinning against his God Jehovah; for he went into the Temple of Jehovah to burn incense on the [sacred] Incense Altar.
2Χρ. 26:17:Well, the [High] Priest AzariJah and eighty mighty Priests of Jehovah went in after him
2Χρ. 26:18:and resisted King UzziJah, saying to him: ‘UzziJah, you aren’t allowed to burn incense to Jehovah! That may only be done by the Priests who have descended from Aaron and have been made holy to burn the incense. Leave this Holy Place, for you have left Jehovah! This glory will not be given to you by Jehovah God!’
2Χρ. 26:19:Well, UzziJah was furious, for there he was with the incense pan in his hand, ready to burn incense inside the Holy Place. And as he was raging against the Priests, leprosy started to appear on his forehead, right there before the Priests in the Temple of Jehovah and in front of the Incense Altar.
2Χρ. 26:20:So when AzariJah (the High Priest) and the other Priests turned to look at him, they saw the leprosy in his forehead, and they pushed him out of there. Why, even he was in a hurry to leave, because Jehovah was reproving him!
2Χρ. 26:21:Well, King UzziJah had leprosy until the day he died, and he was kept in a home for lepers, cut off from the Temple of Jehovah. As the result, his son JoTham ruled over his kingdom and judged the people of the land.
2Χρ. 27:2:[JoTham] did what was upright before Jehovah in the same way that his father UzziJah did (but he didn’t enter the Holy Place of Jehovah). Yet, despite this, the people still kept corrupting themselves.
2Χρ. 27:3:[JoTham] built the tall gatehouse of Jehovah, and he did a lot of building along the wall of Ophel. He also built cities
2Χρ. 27:6:So JoTham grew strong, because he faithfully served his God Jehovah.
2Χρ. 28:2:He didn’t do what was upright before Jehovah as did his ancestor David; rather, he went the way of the kings of Israel and made carved images,
2Χρ. 28:3:offering sacrifices to them in the Valley of the Sons of Hinnom. He also [offered] his children in the fire, in the same disgusting way as the nations that Jehovah destroyed from in front of Israel had done.
2Χρ. 28:5:As the result, his God Jehovah handed him over to the king of Syria, who attacked him and carried off many prisoners that he took back to Damascus. He also allowed the king of Israel to bring a great calamity upon him,
2Χρ. 28:6:for PekAh (the son of RemaliJah, the king of Israel) killed a hundred-and-twenty thousand of his strong, might men (all on that same day); which happened because they had left Jehovah the God of their ancestors.
2Χρ. 28:9:Now, there was a Prophet of Jehovah in Samaria whose name was Obed; and when the army of Israel was returning to Samaria, he went out to meet them and said, ‘{Look!} The reason why these people have been given into your hands is because Jehovah the God of your ancestors is angry with Judah. But you have killed them in anger, and [news of this] has reached into the heavens.
2Χρ. 28:10:And now you’re saying that the sons of Judah and Jerusalem can be sold as male and female slaves. But {Look!} here I am among you to testify about this before your God Jehovah.
2Χρ. 28:11:So now, listen to me! Return your brothers who you’ve taken as captives, because now the rage of Jehovah is upon you!’
2Χρ. 28:13:‘There’s no way that we will allow you to bring these captives to us, for that would bring a sin against Jehovah upon us. By talking this way, you’re trying to add to our sins and our ignorance. For, we’re already guilty of great sins, and the anger of Jehovah is already upon Israel.’
2Χρ. 28:18:Then the Philistines attacked his cities in the plains and to the south of Judah, capturing BethSamus, everything in the Temple of Jehovah and in the king’s palace, and the governors. Then they handed AiLon, GadEron, Sochor and its surrounding towns, Thamna and its surrounding towns, and Gamzo and its surrounding towns over to their king, and they started living there.
2Χρ. 28:19:For, Jehovah was humbling Judah, because their king (Ahaz) had turned away from Him.
2Χρ. 28:21:So Ahaz took the things in the Temple of Jehovah, the things in his palace, and the things that belonged to his governors, and gave it to the king of Assyria… not for his help,
2Χρ. 28:22:but to keep them from attacking him. Well, King Ahaz continued in his course of [rebellion] against Jehovah, for he then said: ‘I will [ask for help] from the gods of Damascus’ (who were beating him).
2Χρ. 28:24:Then Ahaz took everything out of the Temple of Jehovah, cut it all to pieces, and locked the Temple doors. And thereafter, he built altars in every city and corner of Jerusalem,
2Χρ. 28:25:and he erected high places in all the cities of Judah to burn incense to foreign gods, which made Jehovah the God of their ancestors very angry.
2Χρ. 29:2:HezekiJah did what was upright before Jehovah, as his ancestor David had done.
2Χρ. 29:3:And after his kingdom was established, in the first month, he reopened the doors to the Temple of Jehovah and had it repaired.
2Χρ. 29:5:and said to them: ‘O Levites, listen to me! Now purify yourselves, and then purify the Temple of Jehovah the God of your ancestors. Clear out everything from the Holy Place that’s unclean,
2Χρ. 29:6:because our fathers have been [guilty of] rebellion and they’ve done evil things before our God Jehovah when they abandoned Him and turned their faces away from the Tent of Jehovah, showing Him the backs of their necks!
2Χρ. 29:8:That’s why Jehovah has been so angry with Judah and Jerusalem, and why He appointed them as something to be wondered at and to be destroyed by Syria… as you can see is happening with your own eyes.
2Χρ. 29:10:‘So because of these things, you must decide in your hearts to conclude a sacred agreement with Jehovah the God of Israel, for only then will He turn His anger and rage away from you!
2Χρ. 29:11:Don’t give up, because Jehovah has selected you to stand before Him and to serve Him by officiating and burning the incense.’
2Χρ. 29:15:Then they gathered their brothers and purified themselves as the king had commanded them (and following the directions of Jehovah), so they could cleanse the Temple of Jehovah.
2Χρ. 29:18:And on the eighth day of the month, they went to the Temple of Jehovah and purified it, which took eight days, so they finished the project on the sixteenth day of the month.
2Χρ. 29:18:Then they went to see King HezekiJah and said, ‘We have purified all the things in the House of Jehovah, from the Altar for the whole burnt offerings and its utensils, to the table where the [sacred bread] is placed (along with its utensils),
2Χρ. 29:19:and all the things that King Ahaz defiled during his defection. Everything has been prepared and purified, and look… everything is there in front of Jehovah’s Altar.’
2Χρ. 29:20:Then King HezekiJah got up early the next morning and gathered all the city officials, and they went up to the Temple of Jehovah.
2Χρ. 29:21:They brought along seven calves, seven rams, seven lambs, and seven winter-yearling goats as sin offerings for the kingdom… for the holy things and for Israel. Then he told the Priests (the sons of Aaron) to go up to the Altar of Jehovah,
2Χρ. 29:25:Then the Levites stood in the Temple of Jehovah with their cymbals, stringed instruments, and woodwinds (as King David had instructed them), and the king’s Seer Gad and the Prophet Nathan were also there, following the Commandments of Jehovah (because the order of things was in the hands of the Prophets).
2Χρ. 29:27:and when HezekiJah told them to sacrifice the whole burnt offerings on the Altar, they started singing to Jehovah, accompanied by the trumpets and the instruments of David (the king of Israel).
2Χρ. 29:30:and King HezekiJah and his dignitaries told the Levites to praise Jehovah in the words of David and the Prophet Asaph. So they sang these praises joyfully, and then they fell to the ground and bowed low.
2Χρ. 29:31:Then HezekiJah [told the people]: ‘Now that you’ve filled your hands for Jehovah, come forward and bring your sacrifices of praise to the Temple of Jehovah!’ And the people eagerly started bringing their sacrifices of praise to the Temple as whole burnt offerings to Jehovah
2Χρ. 29:32:the gathering offered seventy calves, a hundred rams, and two hundred lambs as whole burnt offerings to Jehovah.
2Χρ. 29:35:But there were more than enough of the whole burnt offerings, fat for the sacred deliverance offerings, and drink offerings, so the work in the Temple of Jehovah had begun.
2Χρ. 30:1:Then HezekiJah sent letters to all Israel and Judah, as well as letters to EphraIm and ManasSeh, inviting them to come to the Temple of Jehovah in Jerusalem to observe the Passover to Jehovah the God of Israel.
2Χρ. 30:5:that they decided to send a proclamation throughout Israel (from BeerSheba to Dan), inviting everyone there to come and observe the Passover to Jehovah the God of Israel in Jerusalem, because most of them hadn’t responded to the [first] letters.
2Χρ. 30:6:So they sent runners with letters from the king and his governors into all Israel and Judah (following the king’s orders), saying, ‘Sons of Israel; Return to Jehovah the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, for He will return to those who have escaped and survived the hand of the king of Assyria.
2Χρ. 30:7:Don’t be like your ancestors and your brothers who turned away from Jehovah the God of their fathers, for He handed them over for destruction, as you can see.
2Χρ. 30:8:‘Don’t stiffen your necks as your fathers did; give glory to Jehovah God! Come to the Holy Place that He made holy through the ages, and serve your God Jehovah, and then He will turn His rage and anger away from you.
2Χρ. 30:9:For when you return to Jehovah, your brothers and your children will be shown compassion by those who have taken them captive, and He will return this land to you. Because, Jehovah our God is merciful and He feels pity, so He won’t turn His face from us if we return to Him.’
2Χρ. 30:12:and the hand of God gave them a united heart to do as the king and his governors had ordered… to follow the instructions of Jehovah.
2Χρ. 30:15:Well, the Priests and the Levites all felt ashamed, so they purified themselves and carried whole burnt offerings into the Temple of Jehovah.
2Χρ. 30:17:because many of them had been purified. However, not all of the Levites who were to sacrifice the Passover had yet been purified to Jehovah,
2Χρ. 30:19:Then HezekiJah prayed for them, saying, ‘Jehovah, the good God; [Please] cover [the sins] of those of us who have straightened our hearts to search for You, the God of our ancestors, and who haven’t been purified as the Holy Things have been purified.’
2Χρ. 30:20:Well, Jehovah listened to HezekiJah and healed the people.
2Χρ. 30:21:Then all the sons of Israel who were found in Jerusalem celebrated the holiday of the fermentation-free bread for seven days with great joy, singing praises to Jehovah each day, as the Priests and Levites played their instruments to the Lord.
2Χρ. 30:22:Then, at the conclusion of the holiday of the fermentation-free bread loaves (at the end of seven days of sacrificing for salvation and for praising Jehovah the God of their ancestors), HezekiJah spoke to the hearts of the Levites and to all who were searching for Jehovah with a pure heart.
2Χρ. 31:2:And HezekiJah reestablished the different responsibilities and the daily rotations of the Priests and Levites for sacrificing the whole burnt offerings, for offering sacrifices of salvation, and for praising, acknowledging, and officiating at the gates and courtyards of the Temple of Jehovah.
2Χρ. 31:3:He also set aside a portion of his own possessions as whole burnt offerings to be sacrificed early in the morning, at dusk, on the Sabbaths, on the New Moons, and on the holidays, as it was written in the Law of Jehovah.
2Χρ. 31:4:Then they spoke to the people who lived in Jerusalem about giving their due portion to the Priests and Levites, so they could do more in their service at the Temple of Jehovah.
2Χρ. 31:6:Also, those from the cities of Judah brought a tenth of their calves, sheep, and goats, which they [offered] as holy to their God Jehovah… they brought it all in and piled it in heaps upon heaps.
2Χρ. 31:8:And when HezekiJah and his governors came and saw all the heaps, they praised Jehovah and His people Israel.
2Χρ. 31:10:and thereafter he spoke to AzariJah (the High Priest and the head of the house of Zadok) and said, ‘When the first-fruits were brought to the Temple of Jehovah, we ate and drank; but we left a huge amount behind, and this is because Jehovah has blest His people… for we still have a lot left over.’
2Χρ. 31:11:Then HezekiJah told him to prepare a place for it in the Temple of Jehovah, which he did,
2Χρ. 31:13:as were JeiEl, OzaZiJah, NaEth, AsahEl, JeriMoth, JoZabad, EliEl, SamachiJah, MaAth, and BenaiJah and his sons. They were all assigned under CononiJah and his brother Shimei, by King HezekiJah and AzariJah (the head of the Temple of Jehovah).
2Χρ. 31:14:JemNa, the Levite who was in charge of the east gate, was then put in charge of distributing the gifts, the first-fruits that were donated to Jehovah, and the holy things in the Holy of Holies
2Χρ. 31:16:regardless of their genealogy, and gave it to all those who served at the Temple of Jehovah by the number of days that they actually served in the arrangement of the daily rotations.
2Χρ. 31:20:HezekiJah did this throughout all Judea, and everything he did was good and upright before his God Jehovah.
2Χρ. 31:21:In all that he did – whether it was work at the Temple of Jehovah, or having to do with the Law or the instructions – he relied upon his God with his whole soul, and his ways were blest.
2Χρ. 32:8:For, while those who are with him have arms of flesh, we have our God Jehovah to save us and to fight our battles!’ Well, the words of HezekiJah the king of Judah inspired confidence in the people.
2Χρ. 32:11:Has HezekiJah deceived you into thinking that he can save you from hunger, thirst, and death by telling you that your God Jehovah will save you from the hands of the king of Assyria?
2Χρ. 32:16:Well, they continued speaking against Jehovah God and His servant HezekiJah.
2Χρ. 32:17:And he even wrote a letter to berate Jehovah the God of Israel, and said concerning Him, ‘No other god of any nation on earth has rescued his people from my hand, so there’s no way that the God of HezekiJah will save his people from me!’
2Χρ. 32:21:Then Jehovah sent a messenger, and he wiped out all the mighty warriors, all the rulers, and all the leaders in the camp of the king of Assyria, so he was forced to return to his own land in shame. And when he went to the temple of his god, those who came from his own belly overthrew him, [murdering] him with a broadsword.
2Χρ. 32:22:So Jehovah saved HezekiJah and the people who were living in Jerusalem from the hands of Sennacherib the king of Assyria (as well as all who were with him), and He provided a period of rest throughout the land.
2Χρ. 32:23:And thereafter, many people brought gifts to Jehovah in Jerusalem, and they brought presents to HezekiJah the king of Judah; for after that, he was highly respected by all the other nations.
2Χρ. 32:24:Sometime later, HezekiJah became ill to the point of dying, and he prayed to Jehovah, and God heard him and gave him a sign.
2Χρ. 32:26:But then God humbled the proud hearts of HezekiJah and those who lived in Jerusalem, and Jehovah’s anger didn’t come again during the days of HezekiJah.
2Χρ. 32:29:Then he built cities for himself, and he came to own vast herds of sheep and oxen, for [Jehovah had blest] all his holdings.
2Χρ. 32:31:Well, it so happened that ambassadors were sent to him from the rulers of Babylon to ask about the miracle that had taken place in his land, and that’s when Jehovah left him (as a test), to find out the things that were in his heart.
2Χρ. 33:2:However, he acted wickedly before Jehovah and did the same disgusting things as the nations that Jehovah had destroyed before the sons of Israel.
2Χρ. 33:4:He even built altars inside the Temple of Jehovah, the place where Jehovah said, ‘[I will put] My Name in Jerusalem through the ages.’
2Χρ. 33:6:Then he [sacrificed] his children in the fire at GeHenna; he [personally] foretold the future; he administered potions and went to fortunetellers; and he did many other bad things before Jehovah to anger Him.
2Χρ. 33:7:He also carved and molded images and placed them inside the very Temple of God where Jehovah had said to David and to his son Solomon, ‘I have chosen this House and Jerusalem from all the tribes of Israel, and I will put My Name here through the ages.
2Χρ. 33:9:So ManasSeh misled Judah and the people of Jerusalem into acting worse than all the nations who Jehovah had removed from before the sons of Israel.
2Χρ. 33:10:And Jehovah spoke to ManasSeh and his people, but they just wouldn’t listen.
2Χρ. 33:11:So Jehovah led the rulers of the army of the king of Assyria against them, and they captured ManasSeh and put him shackles, then led him off to Babylon.
2Χρ. 33:12:And it was while he was in this terrible situation that he finally searched for the face of Jehovah his God, and he became very humble before the God of his ancestors.
2Χρ. 33:13:He prayed to Him, and [God listened]… He heard his cries and returned him to Jerusalem [as king] over his kingdom, for ManasSeh had learned that Jehovah is God.
2Χρ. 33:15:Then he removed the foreign gods and carved images from the Temple of Jehovah, as well as all the altars that he had built on the mountain where the Temple of Jehovah was located (as well as in Jerusalem and outside the city);
2Χρ. 33:16:and then he erected an Altar to Jehovah. Thereafter, he sacrificed a salvation offering and a praise offering, and he told Judah to serve Jehovah the God of Israel.
2Χρ. 33:17:However, the people kept on offering sacrifices in the high places, which weren’t acceptable to their God Jehovah.
2Χρ. 33:22:Like his father ManasSeh, he acted wickedly before Jehovah, because he worshiped and sacrificed to all the idols that his father had made,
2Χρ. 33:23:and he was never humbled before Jehovah, as his father ManasSeh was humbled; so he committed even worse sins than his father had.
2Χρ. 34:2:He did what was upright before Jehovah and followed in the ways of his ancestor David… he didn’t deviate to the right or to the left.
2Χρ. 34:3:It was in the eighth year of his reign (while he was still a boy) that he started searching for Jehovah, the God of his ancestor David. And in the twelfth year of his reign, he started cleansing Judah and Jerusalem of the high places [of worship], the sacred poles, the shrines, and the molded images.
2Χρ. 34:8:It was during the eighteenth year of his reign that he urged a cleansing of the land and of the Temple; so he sent Saphan (the son of EseliJa), MaAsa (the city mayor), and the City Recorder JoAh (the son of JoAhaz) to repair the Temple of his God Jehovah.
2Χρ. 34:10:They gave it to those who were in charge of doing the work in the Temple of Jehovah, to repair and fortify it;
2Χρ. 34:14:It was while they were delivering the money that had been collected for the Temple of Jehovah that the High Priest HelkiJah found a scroll of the Law of Jehovah that [had been written] by the hand of Moses.
2Χρ. 34:15:And HelkiJah said to Saphan (the scribe), ‘We’ve found the scroll of the Law in the Temple of Jehovah!’ Then HelkiJah gave the scroll to Saphan,
2Χρ. 34:17:They also melted down the silver that was found in the Temple of Jehovah and used it to pay the overseers and laborers.’
2Χρ. 34:21:‘Go and ask Jehovah about the things that are written in this scroll we found, on behalf of myself and everyone who is left in Israel and Judah. For, Jehovah’s rage must surely be burning against us, because we’ve ignored what our ancestors told us about the words of Jehovah when they told us to do the things that are written in this scroll.’
2Χρ. 34:23:Then she told them, ‘This is what Jehovah the God of Israel has said: Tell the man who sent you to me
2Χρ. 34:24:that Jehovah says [He is] calling down evil upon this place because of the things that are written in this scroll, which was read before the king of Judah.
2Χρ. 34:26:‘And tell this to the King of Judah who sent you to search for Jehovah… tell him that Jehovah the God of Israel says:
2Χρ. 34:27:Because you felt shame in your heart over the words that you heard, and because you humbled yourself before Me when you heard what I said about this place and those who live here, and because you were humbled and ripped your clothes, then wept before Me, I have listened to you. And Jehovah said,
2Χρ. 34:30:and they went to the Temple of Jehovah, along with all the people of Judah and Jerusalem (including the Priests and Levites)… all the people from the least to the greatest. Then he read all the words of the scroll of the Sacred Agreement that were found in the Temple of Jehovah.
2Χρ. 34:31:Then the king stood on the podium and proposed a sacred agreement there before Jehovah… that they would obey His Commandments, testimonies, and orders with their entire hearts and souls, so as to observe the words of the Agreement that were written in the scroll.
2Χρ. 34:32:Then he asked all in Jerusalem, Judah, and BenJamin to ratify this agreement with the Temple of Jehovah the God of their ancestors.
2Χρ. 34:33:Thereafter, JosiJah removed all the disgusting things from the land that the sons of Israel had made, and he decreed that everyone in Jerusalem and Israel should serve Jehovah their God. And throughout his life, he didn’t turn aside from following Jehovah the God of his ancestors.
2Χρ. 35:1:Then JosiJah observed the Passover to his God Jehovah… he offered the Passover sacrifice on the fourteenth day of the first month.
2Χρ. 35:2:He stationed the Priests at their watches, and granted them even more power to do their work at the Temple of Jehovah.
2Χρ. 35:3:Then he urged the most prominent Levites in all Israel to dedicate themselves to serving Jehovah, and to return the Holy Chest [to its place] in the Temple… and that’s what they did. They put the Holy Chest into the Temple that was built by Solomon (the son of David) the king of Israel. Then the king said to them, ‘It isn’t your job to be carrying anything on your shoulders… you’re just to serve your God Jehovah and His people Israel!
2Χρ. 35:6:then sacrifice the Passover and prepare the holy things, so that your brothers may observe it as Jehovah instructed through the hand of Moses.’
2Χρ. 35:12:as they prepared the whole burnt offerings. And then they delivered the portions to the sons of the people by houses and families, so they could bring them to Jehovah, as it is written in the book of Moses. This whole thing lasted into the morning.
2Χρ. 35:16:So, everything was set up for the service to Jehovah and to observe the Passover on that day. Then the whole burnt offerings were placed on the Altar of Jehovah, following the commands of King JosiJah.
2Χρ. 35:18:There hadn’t been another day like it in Israel since the time of the Prophet SamuEl, because the kings of Israel hadn’t observed the Passover… but JosiJah did. And the Priests, Levites, all Judah and Israel, and everyone who lived in Jerusalem [was there before Jehovah].
2Χρ. 35:19:This Passover was observed in the eighteenth year of the reign of JosiJah. However, the oracles, fortunetellers, family gods, idols, and beloved things were still common in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem. So King JosiJah had them all burned, following the Law that was written in the scroll that the High Priest HelkiJah had found in the Temple of Jehovah. There was never anyone else like him who had turned to Jehovah with his whole heart, soul, and strength in following the Law of Moses; nor was there anyone like him thereafter. However, even this didn’t turn away Jehovah’s great anger and rage, because of the many ways in which Judah and ManasSeh had provoked Jehovah. For Jehovah said, ‘I will for a fact remove Judah from before My face as I removed Israel; and I will push away Jerusalem (the city that I chose) and the Temple where I said that I would put My Name.’
2Χρ. 35:26:{Look!} The rest of the things that JosiJah said and hoped for concerning the Law of Jehovah
2Χρ. 36:2:JehoAhaz was twenty-three years old when he started his reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem for three months. His mother’s name was AmiTal, and she was the daughter of JeremiJah of Lobena. He acted wickedly before Jehovah, as his ancestors had done. Then Pharaoh Necho had him imprisoned in DebLatha (in the land of HamAth), so he couldn’t serve as his vassal in Jerusalem.
2Χρ. 36:5:JehoiAkim was twenty-five years old when he started his reign, and he ruled from Jerusalem for eleven years. His mother’s name was ZechOra, and she was the daughter of NerYow from Rama. He also acted wickedly before Jehovah… every bit as bad as his ancestors did. It was during his reign that NebuChadnezzar (the king of Babylon) came to the land and made him his vassal king for three years. But he rebelled against him, and then Jehovah sent the Chaldeans (as well as bands of Syrian robbers, bands of Moabite robbers, the sons of Ammon, and [the people of] Samaria) against him. However, they left after Jehovah had sent a warning to them through His servants the Prophets. Yet, Jehovah was still in a rage against Judah, because of the sins of ManasSeh and all the things he did, and because of all the innocent blood that JehoiAkim had spilled (he had filled Jerusalem with the blood of the innocent), so He planned to remove Judah from before His face. However, Jehovah didn’t want to destroy everyone.
2Χρ. 36:7:along with many things from the Temple of Jehovah, which he put into his own temple in Babylon.
2Χρ. 36:9:JehoiAchin was eighteen years old when he started his reign, and he ruled in Jerusalem for three months and ten days, for he acted wickedly in the presence of Jehovah.
2Χρ. 36:10:Then, toward the end of the year, king NebuChadnezzar carried him off to Babylon, along with many valuable things from the Temple of Jehovah, and his uncle ZedekiJah became king over Judah and Jerusalem.
2Χρ. 36:12:He also acted wickedly before his God Jehovah, and when the Prophet JeremiJah brought him word from the mouth of Jehovah, he wasn’t shamed.
2Χρ. 36:13:Then he annulled his allegiance to King NebuChadnezzar, which he had sworn before God… he just stiffened his neck and [hardened] his heart, and he refused to return to Jehovah the God of Israel.
2Χρ. 36:14:Thereafter, the honorable men of Judah, the Priests, and the people of the land just got worse. They traded goodness for the wickedness and disgusting things of the nations, and they defiled the Temple of Jehovah in Jerusalem.
2Χρ. 36:15:So Jehovah, the God of their ancestors, sent messages through His Prophets. They got up early each morning and brought [warnings] to spare His people and His Holy Place.
2Χρ. 36:16:But all [the people] did was sneer at His messengers, treat their words with contempt, and mock His Prophets, to the point where Jehovah was furious with His people and it was [obvious] that there was no cure.
2Χρ. 36:19:Then he burned the Temple of Jehovah, tore down the walls of Jerusalem, torched its palaces, and wiped away everything that was of any beauty.
2Χρ. 36:21:and fulfilled the words of Jehovah through JeremiJah, and after the land had observed its Sabbaths. For, during the seventy years that the land lay desolate, it was observing its Sabbath.
2Χρ. 36:22:It was in the first year of Cyrus the king of Persia, after the fulfillment of the words of Jehovah through the mouth of JeremiJah, that Jehovah awakened the spirit of Cyrus and commanded him to send a written proclamation throughout his kingdom, that said:
2Χρ. 36:23:‘Cyrus the king of Persia says, All the kingdoms of the earth have been given to me by Jehovah the God of heaven, and He told me to build a Temple to Him in Jerusalem in Judea. So, who of you are His people? His God Jehovah is now with him, so let him [now return to Jerusalem]!
Εσδ. 1:1:In the first year of King Cyrus of Persia, the Word of Jehovah came through the mouth of [the Prophet] JeremiJah to awaken the spirit of King Cyrus.
Εσδ. 1:2:Then he sent a written proclamation throughout his kingdom that said, ‘This is what Cyrus the king of Persia has decreed: All the kingdoms of the earth have been given to me by Jehovah the God of heaven, and He told me to build a Temple to Him in Jerusalem of Judea.
Εσδ. 1:3:So, who of you are His people? His God Jehovah is now with him; so let him [return to Jerusalem] and build a Temple for the God of Israel, for He is the God in Jerusalem.
Εσδ. 1:5:Then the family heads of Judah and BenJamin, and the Priests and Levites – everyone whose spirit God had awakened to go and build a Temple of Jehovah in Jerusalem – got up and left.
Εσδ. 1:7:Then King Cyrus brought out the things from the Temple of Jehovah that NebuChadNezzar had taken from Jerusalem and put in the temple of his god,
Εσδ. 2:68:The family heads who went to the Temple of Jehovah in Jerusalem that were willing and able to contribute to its reconstruction, contributed
Εσδ. 3:3:They prepared the Altar in a [special] place, because they were afraid of the people in the land, and they brought the whole burnt offerings to Jehovah from morning until evening.
Εσδ. 3:5:And thereafter, they continued the sacrifice of the whole burnt offerings during the New Moons and on all the holy celebrations of Jehovah… as well as the bringing of free-will offerings to the Lord.
Εσδ. 3:6:It was on the first day of the seventh month that they started sacrificing the whole burnt offerings to Jehovah, but the foundation for His Temple hadn’t been laid yet.
Εσδ. 3:8:Then, when they came to the Temple of Jehovah God in Jerusalem in the second year and the second month, ZerubBabel (the son of ShealtiEl), JoShua (the son of JoZadek), the rest of their brothers among the Priests and Levites, as well as everyone else who had left their captivity and come to Jerusalem, assigned the Levites who were twenty-years and older to ensure the success of those who were doing the work on the Temple of Jehovah.
Εσδ. 3:10:And when they laid the foundation to the Temple of Jehovah, the Priests put on their robes and got their trumpets, and the Levites (the descendants of Asaph) picked up their cymbals to praise Jehovah with [the songs] of David the king of Israel.
Εσδ. 3:11:Then they praised and acknowledged before Jehovah that He is good, and that His mercy would be upon Israel through the ages. And all the people were shouting and praising Jehovah together, as the groundwork for the Temple of Jehovah was started.
Εσδ. 4:1:Well, when the people who opposed Judah and BenJamin heard that those who had returned were building a Temple to Jehovah the God of Israel,
Εσδ. 4:3:But ZerubBabel, JoShua, and the rest of the family heads of Israel replied, ‘It isn’t up to us to decide if you can help us build a Temple to Jehovah the God of Israel, because we were told to do it by Cyrus the king of Persia.’
Εσδ. 6:21:Then all the sons of Israel (who had returned and separated themselves from the uncleanness of the nations, so they could ask things from Jehovah the God of Israel) ate the Passover.
Εσδ. 6:22:And they also joyfully observed the holiday of Yeast-free Bread for seven days, because Jehovah made them happy. Thereafter, even the king of Assyria assisted them by providing [workers] for the Temple of the God of Israel.
Εσδ. 7:6:He was a scribe who was well versed in the Law that Jehovah the God of Israel gave to Moses. And because the hand of his God Jehovah was with him, the king gave him everything that he was looking for.
Εσδ. 7:10:Now, Ezra had prepared his heart to search the Law of Jehovah and to practice and teach all its regulations and decisions in Israel.
Εσδ. 7:11:And King ArthaSastha gave a copy of the following edict to the Priest Ezra, who was the scribe of the scroll of the words of the Commandments of Jehovah… along with his orders to Israel. [The decree said]:
Εσδ. 7:15:and to carry to the Temple of Jehovah gold and silver that the king and his counselors are willing to donate to the God of Israel who camps in Jerusalem.
Εσδ. 7:27:Praise Jehovah the God of our ancestors, who put it into the heart of the king to glorify the Temple of Jehovah in Jerusalem this way;
Εσδ. 7:28:and that the eyes of the king, his advisors, and his leading men have looked so mercifully upon me; and that the good hand of my God Jehovah has strengthened me, so I could gather all the leaders of Israel to return with me!
Εσδ. 8:28:Then I said to them, ‘You are holy to Jehovah God, and these items of silver and gold are holy, for they are voluntary offerings to Jehovah, the God of our ancestors.
Εσδ. 8:29:So, stay alert and watch over them until we can hand them over to the Chief Priests, the Levites, and the heads of the families in Jerusalem, for the places of worship in the Temple of Jehovah!’
Εσδ. 8:35:All those who traveled with us to return from their captivity, brought whole burnt offerings to the God of Israel… twelve calves, one for each of the tribes of Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve winter-yearling goats for the sin offering. It was all to be sacrificed as whole burnt offerings to Jehovah.
Εσδ. 9:5:Then I got up (after feeling so ashamed and ripping my clothes and underwear) and got down on my knees, and spread my arms toward my God Jehovah,
Εσδ. 9:8:‘Now, O Jehovah our God; You’ve been lenient with us and allowed us to return [to our land] in order to teach us to rely on Your Holy Place, to open our eyes, and to put a little life into our service [to You].
Εσδ. 9:15:‘O Jehovah, the God of Israel, You are righteous, for you’ve preserved us to this day. And look, here we stand before You in our errors… and no one can stand before You like this.’
Εσδ. 10:3:But what if we make an agreement with our God to [give away] all the wives and all those who were born to us, so we can follow the counsel of Jehovah, and so that those of us who are trembling before our God can follow His commandments? If so, may it be!
Εσδ. 10:11:Now, praise Jehovah the God of our ancestors, and do what is pleasing before Him… separate yourselves from the people of this land and from your foreign wives!’
Νεεμ. 1:11:No, O Jehovah; allow Your ears to pay attention to the prayer of Your servant, and to the prayers of Your children who want to fear Your Name. Bless the way of Your servant today, and make the [king] compassionate before this man, for I am [just] a wine server to the king.’
Νεεμ. 2:4:Then the king asked me, ‘So, what are you looking for?’ Well, I prayed to Jehovah the God of heaven,
Νεεμ. 5:13:And I shook off my cape and said, ‘This is how God will shake off any man that doesn’t stand by his word on this matter. His house and everything he has worked for will be shaken off like this!’ And the entire assembly said, ‘May it be!’ Then they praised Jehovah, and the people did as they said.
Νεεμ. 5:15:However, those who had been rulers before us had oppressed the people, taking the last of their bread and wine, charging a tax of forty silver coins, and their servants dominated over the people. Yet I didn’t do that, because of my fear before the face of Jehovah.
Νεεμ. 8:1:It was in the seventh month that the sons of Israel had all arrived back in their cities. Then the people gathered as a single man in the wide area in front of the Water Gate, and they asked the scribe Ezra to bring them the scroll of the Law of Moses that gave Jehovah’s instructions to Israel.
Νεεμ. 8:6:and Ezra praised their great God Jehovah, and everyone said ‘May it be; may it be,’ as they raised their arms and bowed low before Jehovah with their faces to the ground.
Νεεμ. 8:8:And as he read from the scroll of the Law of God, Ezra taught and instructed them, giving them a higher knowledge of Jehovah, and the people understood.
Νεεμ. 8:9:Then NehemiJah (who was also known as AtarSatha), the scribe and Priest Ezra, and the Levites (who were explaining things to the people) spoke. And they said, ‘This is a holy day to our God Jehovah, so stop being sad and crying’ (because all the people were crying as they were listening to the words of the Law).
Νεεμ. 8:10:And he said, ‘Now, go and eat the fatness and drink the sweetness, and share what you have with those who have nothing, because this is a holy day to our God Jehovah. And don’t be shy before our God, because the joy of Jehovah is our strength!’
Νεεμ. 9:3:Then they took their positions as the scroll of the Law of their God Jehovah was read for four days, and they spoke openly to Jehovah and bowed before the Lord their God through the fourth day.
Νεεμ. 9:4:And all the while, the Levites (JeShua, the sons of KadmiEl, and SecheniJah the son of SherebiJah and grandson of ChenAni) stood on the ascent and called out loudly to their God Jehovah.
Νεεμ. 9:5:Then the Levites (JeShua, KadmiEl, Bani, SherebiJah, HodiJah, SecheniJah, and PethahiJah) said to the people, ‘Stand up and praise Jehovah who has been our God through the ages and into the ages of ages! Praise His glorious Name and raise it high with blessings and praise!’
Νεεμ. 9:7:‘O Jehovah God; You chose Abram and led him out of the [land] of the Chaldeans, then You changed his name to Abraham,
Νεεμ. 10:29:They all supported their brothers and swore bad things upon themselves and curses with an oath, that they would follow the Law of God that had been given at the hand of Moses (the servant of God), and guard and observe all the Commandments of our God Jehovah, and His judgments and orders.
Νεεμ. 10:34:Then we [held] a lottery to determine who would carry wood to the Temple for the Priests, Levites, and the people (by houses and families) during each season and by time of day each year, to be burned on the Altar of Jehovah our God, as it is written in the Law.
Νεεμ. 10:35:And [we agreed to] bring the first produce of our land and the first produce of the fruit from every tree to the Temple of Jehovah each year,
Νεεμ. 13:14:Remember me for this, O my God, and don’t forget my acts of mercy on behalf of the Temple of my God Jehovah and [the assignment of] His watches!
Εσθ. 4:8:And then he gave him a copy of the decree that was on public display in Susa, which told how they were to be destroyed, and Hatach took it to Esther. He also told the eunuch to ask her to beg the king’s pardon and for her to be found worthy to remind him of her people. He said, ‘Tell him of how lowly you were once considered and of how I took you and raised you, because H’Man (the king’s second in command) has spoken about murdering us. Call upon Jehovah, and then speak to the king about us and rescue us from death!’
Εσθ. 6:1:However, Jehovah removed sleep from the king that night, so he gave orders to his servant to bring in the memorandum letters and read them to him.
Ιώβ 1:6:Then one day, {Look!} the messengers of God went to stand before Jehovah and the Opposer came along with them.
Ιώβ 1:7:So Jehovah asked the Opposer, ‘Where have you come from?’ And the Opposer replied to Jehovah: ‘I’ve been on the earth walking around everywhere under the sky.’
Ιώβ 1:8:Then Jehovah asked him, ‘Have you noticed and thought about My child Job? Why, there’s no one else like him on the earth, because he’s blameless, true, God fearing, and he distances himself from anything that is bad.’
Ιώβ 1:9:And the Opposer stood before Jehovah and said: ‘Is Job really free to worship Jehovah?
Ιώβ 1:12:Then Jehovah said to the Opposer: ‘{Look!} I’m putting everything he has into your hands… just don’t touch him personally.’ So the Opposer left the presence of Jehovah.
Ιώβ 1:21:‘I came out of my mother’s belly naked, and I will return there naked. Jehovah gave it and Jehovah took it away. So, as it seems good to Jehovah, that is what has come to pass. May the Name of the Lord be praised!’
Ιώβ 1:22:Well, despite all these terrible things that happened to him, Job didn’t sin against Jehovah once, nor did he accuse God of foolishness.
Ιώβ 2:1:Then on another day, God’s messengers again came to stand before Jehovah, and the Opposer came among them once more to stand before the Lord.
Ιώβ 2:2:And Jehovah asked the Opposer, ‘So, from what place have you come?’ And the Opposer again replied: ‘I’ve been on the earth walking around everywhere under the sky.’
Ιώβ 2:3:So Jehovah asked him: ‘Have you been paying attention to my child Job; for there are none others like him on the earth. He’s not a wicked man; he’s true, blameless, God fearing… he stays away from anything that’s evil and he’s still innocent. Yet, you said [that he wouldn’t remain faithful] if everything he had was destroyed without a reason.’
Ιώβ 2:4:Then the Opposer said to Jehovah: ‘Skin for skin… a man will give everything he has for his life.
Ιώβ 2:6:And Jehovah replied to the Opposer: ‘{Look!} I’m giving him to you… just don’t take his life!’
Ιώβ 2:7:So the Opposer left Jehovah and struck Job with terrible sores from his head to his feet.
Ιώβ 2:9:Then his wife asked him, ‘How much longer are you going to endure this? Just speak a word to Jehovah and He will end it all!’
Ιώβ 2:10:But he looked at her and said: ‘Why are you acting like such a foolish woman? Why, if we have looked for good things from the hand of Jehovah, shouldn’t we also endure the bad?’
Ιώβ 4:9:For, by the order of Jehovah they will perish, and with the breath of His wrath they’ll be wiped away.
Ιώβ 5:8:‘Yet I’ll still beg to Jehovah, and I’ll call to the Almighty God,
Ιώβ 5:17:‘Blest is the man who’s disciplined by Jehovah… those who won’t ignore the Almighty!
Ιώβ 6:8:‘If He’d give me the things that I’ve asked for; if Jehovah would give me the things that I’ve hope for.
Ιώβ 6:9:For from the start Jehovah has pierced me, and in the end it hasn’t been taken away!
Ιώβ 6:14:Has His mercy to me been forbidden, and have the visits of Jehovah overlooked me?
Ιώβ 8:3:Does Jehovah sin when He judges, or does the Maker of all harm the righteous?
Ιώβ 8:5:‘Why, to seek Jehovah you arose early, and before the Almighty you have begged.
Ιώβ 8:13:So it is for those forgetting Jehovah; for there is no hope for the Godless.
Ιώβ 8:20:‘There’s no way that Jehovah would harm the good, for He never takes gifts from the ungodly.
Ιώβ 10:2:I will say to Jehovah: Don’t say that I am ungodly, for why have You judged me that way?
Ιώβ 11:5:‘O that Jehovah would speak, and tell you what He has to say.
Ιώβ 11:7:Search for the ways of Jehovah, and you’ll find that the Almighty, has also prepared for your end.
Ιώβ 12:6:and they’ll be disciplined in the rage of Jehovah.
Ιώβ 12:9:Who among all them doesn’t already know, it’s the hand of Jehovah that made them?
Ιώβ 13:7:‘Aren’t you speaking here before Jehovah… aren’t you being deceitful before Him,
Ιώβ 15:8:Did you hear how Jehovah arranged things? Did God then ask your advice, and was it from you that He gained all His wisdom?
Ιώβ 15:12:Dare you see with your eyes or examine in your heart, how your rage has torn you from Jehovah,
Ιώβ 15:25:For, against Jehovah he has lifted his hands, and before the Lord he has stiffened his neck.
Ιώβ 16:21:May the things that I beg for reach to Jehovah, and may the tears from my eyes drip before Him.
Ιώβ 18:21:This is the home of the unrighteous; it’s the place where they don’t know Jehovah.
Ιώβ 19:2:‘How long are you going to weary my life, and demolish me with your words? All you know is what Jehovah has done,
Ιώβ 19:6:But know that Jehovah is the One who’s disturbed, and it’s He that built fortresses against me.
Ιώβ 19:21:‘O show mercy… show mercy my friends, for the hand of Jehovah has touched me!
Ιώβ 19:22:Why do you chase me as Jehovah has done, for aren’t you yet filled with my flesh?
Ιώβ 19:26:and it’s due to Him that my skin is so tired… because of Jehovah I’m totally worn out.
Ιώβ 21:9:Their houses continue to prosper, and none fear, for they don’t feel the whip of Jehovah.
Ιώβ 21:14:And they say to Jehovah, Overlook me, for I don’t wish to know all Your ways.
Ιώβ 21:20:May he witness his slaughter with his own eyes, when Jehovah isn’t there to save him.
Ιώβ 21:22:‘Isn’t it Jehovah who teaches understanding, and who also gives people their insight… isn’t He the One who judges the wise?
Ιώβ 22:2:‘Doesn’t Jehovah teach wisdom and understanding?
Ιώβ 22:26:‘So, confess [your sins] to Jehovah, and look up to the heavens with joy.
Ιώβ 23:16:‘Yet, Jehovah has softened my heart; the Almighty has moved me to action.
Ιώβ 24:1:‘Why has Jehovah overlooked our time;
Ιώβ 27:8:‘What kind of hope have the Godless? Do they think they’ll be saved by Jehovah
Ιώβ 27:11:‘Now, I’ll tell you what Jehovah holds in His hand… I won’t lie about the Almighty’s things.
Ιώβ 27:13:it’s the reward the ungodly get from Jehovah, and what the mighty receive.
Ιώβ 31:6:‘I can stand on a scale, and prove myself just in the balance, for Jehovah knows that I’ve done no wrong.
Ιώβ 31:23:‘It was the fear of Jehovah that caused me to act, for without His care I couldn’t have endured.
Ιώβ 31:28:then let this be considered the worst of law breaking, for I’ve lied to the Most High Jehovah.
Ιώβ 31:35:‘O, that I’d be given someone to listen… someone in awe of the hand of Jehovah! For, I’ve never sent anyone a bill,
Ιώβ 33:14:Jehovah may speak once, or reply a second time.
Ιώβ 33:23:‘Though thousands of [God’s] messengers can come to bring death, there’s no way that one will pierce you through, if in your heart you’d change your purpose, and then turn to Jehovah again. ‘We should complain to men about ourselves, and speak of the laws we have broken;
Ιώβ 33:26:‘If one makes a vow to Jehovah, and his vow is thereafter accepted, he will walk away with a face that is clean, and with a mouth speaking praises… for He is just with all men.
Ιώβ 34:5:‘Now Job has said I am righteous; yet Jehovah has closed up my case.
Ιώβ 34:10:Yet, all are watched by Jehovah, and He searches through all of our hearts. ‘Hear me! Before Jehovah may I not be irreverent, and may the Almighty not view me unjust!
Ιώβ 34:12:‘Can you imagine Jehovah being guilty of wrong, or the Almighty not being just? Isn’t it He who created the earth,
Ιώβ 34:37:don’t add any more to our sins, for we’re all considered law breakers, when we stand and speak to Jehovah.’
Ιώβ 35:13:But there are no things that Jehovah doesn’t watch, because He is [God] the Almighty.
Ιώβ 36:5:Jehovah wouldn’t harm an honest man, who is mighty and has a brave heart.
Ιώβ 36:12:‘But the ungodly won’t be preserved, for they’re unwilling to see Jehovah; and though they’ve been told time and again, they’ll continue to refuse to listen.
Ιώβ 38:1:Then, after EliHu finished his speech, Jehovah spoke to Job from the clouds during a storm, saying,
Ιώβ 38:41:‘Who gives carrion to the crow for its young, as it calls to Jehovah while searching for grain?
Ιώβ 39:31:Then Jehovah God said to Job:
Ιώβ 39:33:And Job replied to Jehovah:
Ιώβ 40:4:‘Is your arm as the arm of Jehovah, and does your voice (like His) speak in thunder?
Ιώβ 42:4:‘But hear O Jehovah, for I still have something to say! I’ll ask You, then You can teach me!
Ιώβ 42:7:It was after Jehovah had said all these things to Job, that Jehovah said to EliPhaz the Temanite, ‘You and your two friends have sinned, for you haven’t spoken the truth, as did My attendant Job.
Ιώβ 42:9:So, EliPhaz the Temanite, Baldad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Minaean went and did as Jehovah had told them. Then He dismissed their sins against Job.
Ιώβ 42:10:Thereafter, Jehovah blest Job. And he in turn made a vow for his friends, and he forgave them for all their sins. Thereafter, Jehovah gave him double… twice as much as he had before.
Ιώβ 42:11:And when all of his brothers and sisters heard of the good things that had happened, they all came to see him, and he had twice as many friends as he had at first. They all ate and drank along with him, and offered him much consolation. Yet, they wondered at all the things that had happened, and at all the things that Jehovah had done. Then each one gave to him a lamb, and an unmarked four-drachma gold coin.
Ιώβ 42:12:So, Jehovah blessed Job’s ending, and he had more than he had before. He had ten thousand cows, four thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand oxen teams, and a thousand grazing mare burros.
Ψαλ. 1:2:but who wants to do the will of Jehovah, and considers His Laws day and night.
Ψαλ. 1:6:for Jehovah knows what the righteous have done, but the ways of the impious will perish.
Ψαλ. 2:2:For the rulers of the land and their kings, are against Jehovah and His anointed.
Ψαλ. 2:4:But He in the heavens is laughing… at them Jehovah is laughing.
Ψαλ. 2:7:For, he declares the orders of Jehovah, (saying) You are My son, and today I am your Father.
Ψαλ. 2:11:Serve Jehovah in fear; all should tremble and praise Him.
Ψαλ. 3:1:O Jehovah; Why are so many against me, and why are so many attacking?
Ψαλ. 3:3:But you are my shield O Jehovah; my glory who lifts up my head.
Ψαλ. 3:4:For, with my voice I’ve called to Jehovah, and from His holy mountain He listened.
Ψαλ. 3:7:Stand up and act O Jehovah; deliver me please, O my God! You’ve cut down those with no reason to hate me, and You’ve broken the teeth of the sinners.
Ψαλ. 3:8:Salvation comes from Jehovah, and it’s He who blesses His people.
Ψαλ. 4:5:Offer a sacrifice that is righteous, and then put your hope in Jehovah.
Ψαλ. 4:8:So I’ll sleep in peace in that place, for You O Jehovah have filled me with hope.
Ψαλ. 5:1:Lend me an ear O Jehovah, and pay attention to the things I call out for…
Ψαλ. 5:2:hear my voice and the things that I beg! To Jehovah my King and my God I will pray.
Ψαλ. 5:5:O Jehovah; You won’t put up with lawbreakers, and before Your face the lawless won’t stand.
Ψαλ. 5:8:O Jehovah; Because of my many enemies, lead me in ways that are righteous. Straighten out all of my paths, as they are seen before You.
Ψαλ. 5:10:So, bring Your judgment upon them O God, and cause their council to fail. For their irreverence send them away, because against You (Jehovah) they have rebelled.
Ψαλ. 6:1:O Jehovah; Don’t discipline me in Your rage, nor correct me in Your great anger.
Ψαλ. 6:9:Jehovah has heard the things that I’ve begged for… my God listened in favor to my prayers.
Ψαλ. 7:1:O Jehovah my God; All my trust I’ve put in You. Rescue me from those who pursue me,
Ψαλ. 7:3:O Jehovah my God; If I have done many bad things, and if in my hands there’s injustice;
Ψαλ. 7:6:O Jehovah; Arise in Your rage… before Your enemies stand tall! Awaken O Jehovah my God, and give the order to attack!
Ψαλ. 7:8:Judge all those people Jehovah, and find me innocent and righteous.
Ψαλ. 8:1:O Jehovah our Lord; How great is Your Name in all the earth. Your majesty has risen high above the skies.
Ψαλ. 8:9:O Jehovah our Lord; How wonderful is Your Name in all the earth.
Ψαλ. 9:1:O Jehovah; I’ll praise You with my whole heart, and I’ll describe all Your wonders.
Ψαλ. 9:7:Jehovah lives through the ages, and He’s ready to judge from His throne.
Ψαλ. 9:9:Jehovah is a refuge to the needy, and a helper in times of oppression.
Ψαλ. 9:11:Strum to Jehovah, those living in Zion; proclaim His deeds to the nations!
Ψαλ. 9:13:Show mercy on me O Jehovah; raise me up from death’s gate,
Ψαλ. 9:16:For Jehovah is known as He who brings justice, and sinners are snared by the deeds of their hands.
Ψαλ. 9:19:Arise O Jehovah, and may no man ever beat You! Stand the nations before You in judgment;
Ψαλ. 10:1:O Jehovah; Why have You stayed far away? Why have You left us, for we need You now!
Ψαλ. 10:4:The sinner provokes God to rage, because he won’t seek Jehovah; with him God never walks,
Ψαλ. 10:12:So rise up, Jehovah my God! Raise your hand high, and don’t forget those in need!
Ψαλ. 10:16:Jehovah is king through the age, and into the ages of ages. O you nations; from His land you’ll be wiped away,
Ψαλ. 10:17:for He’s heard the voices of those in need. O Jehovah; You have heard with Your ears, the things that they say in their hearts.
Ψαλ. 11:1:I have yielded to Jehovah.
Ψαλ. 11:5:Jehovah is in His holy [Temple], yet His throne is high in the heavens. His eyes pay attention to those who’re in need, and to their sons needs His eyelids [are open].
Ψαλ. 11:6:About the righteous, Jehovah inquires, but those loving injustice He hates to the core.
Ψαλ. 11:8:For Jehovah is just and the things that He loves, are justice and straightforward answers, which He can see with His face.
Ψαλ. 12:1:O Jehovah; Please save me, for the holy have all failed, and few among men tell the truth.
Ψαλ. 12:3:May Jehovah destroy the lips of the lying, and the tongues that brag of great things…
Ψαλ. 12:4:those who say ‘We’ll make our tongues great, and ask with our lips, Who’s Jehovah?
Ψαλ. 12:6:Jehovah’s wise words are as pure as fine silver, for their wisdom is refined seven times in a fire. O Jehovah; In Your heights You stand tall, yet the sons of men You still watch over.
Ψαλ. 13:1:For how long O Jehovah, will You forget me… how long will You turn Your face from me… will it be clear to the end?
Ψαλ. 13:3:Listen to me, O Jehovah! My God; Please look upon me! Brighten my eyes so I won’t sleep in death,
Ψαλ. 13:6:So, I’ll sing to Jehovah who’s blest me, and I’ll strum to the Name of [my God] in the heights.
Ψαλ. 14:2:From the heavens Jehovah looked down, to see if men’s sons were looking to God.
Ψαλ. 14:3:But all have turned and made themselves useless; none are doing good… no not one! Their throats are like tombs that are open, and the tongues in their throats are used to deceive. Under their lips is the poison of asps, and with bitterness their mouths are now filled. Their feet now rush to shed blood and destruction, and misery is in all of their ways. The road to peace they’ve never known… there’s no fear of Jehovah in their eyes.
Ψαλ. 14:4:Those who break laws don’t understand, for they devour my people as though they are bread. They haven’t called on Jehovah,
Ψαλ. 14:6:but this one has disgraced the wise words of the poor, whose hope is still in Jehovah.
Ψαλ. 14:7:Who’ll bring salvation to Israel from Zion? It’s Jehovah who’ll return His captive people. Then Jacob will cry out in joy, and Israel will have reasons for gladness.
Ψαλ. 15:1:O Jehovah; Who will You allow to visit Your tent; who may camp on Your Holy Mountain?
Ψαλ. 15:4:nor are they found with the wicked. For they praise those who are fearing Jehovah, and speak well of those who do what they promise.
Ψαλ. 16:1:Guard me O Jehovah, because in You I’ve put hope.
Ψαλ. 16:2:I’ve said to Jehovah ‘You are my Lord, and and beside You I have nothing good.’
Ψαλ. 16:3:The holy in His land are in awe of Jehovah, as are those who willingly serve Him.
Ψαλ. 16:5:Jehovah is my inheritance, and the portion in my cup; for You’ve restored my inheritance to me.
Ψαλ. 16:7:I’ll praise Jehovah who makes me understand, and who corrects my kidneys at night.
Ψαλ. 16:8:I’ll look to Jehovah in all of my ways; He’s at my right hand so I won’t be shaken.
Ψαλ. 17:1:Listen O Jehovah to my cries, and pay attention to the things that I ask. Listen to my prayer for my words are not spoken, with lips that try to deceive.
Ψαλ. 17:8:Guard me O [Jehovah, my God], as though I were the pupil of Your eye. Take me under the protection of Your wings, and provide a shelter for me.
Ψαλ. 17:13:Arise O Jehovah; cut them off and then trip them! With Your sword save my life from the godless.
Ψαλ. 17:14:Use Your hand, O Jehovah, to cut all my enemies down. Cut their bodies into pieces, and leave them there on the ground! Please fill their bellies like pigs, with Your things that are hidden away, and feed what is left to their children.
Ψαλ. 18:1:O Jehovah; With all of my strength I will love You,
Ψαλ. 18:3:When it comes to praise I’ll call on Jehovah, and from my enemies I’ll be saved.
Ψαλ. 18:13:Jehovah thundered from the sky, and the Most High spoke with His voice.
Ψαλ. 18:15:Then springs of water were opened, and foundations of houses were seen. O Jehovah; This all came from Your scolding, and from the blast of the Spirit of Your rage.
Ψαλ. 18:18:They came on the day when I was mistreated, but Jehovah became my support.
Ψαλ. 18:20:Jehovah will reward my righteous ways… for my clean hands He’ll repay me,
Ψαλ. 18:24:Then Jehovah will repay my righteous ways, and the cleanliness of my hands He’ll see with His eyes.
Ψαλ. 18:28:Light my lamp, O Jehovah my God; please light my way in the darkness.
Ψαλ. 18:31:For, who is God but Jehovah? Is there any other God like our God?
Ψαλ. 18:41:They shouted, but no one could save them; they called to Jehovah, but He didn’t listen.
Ψαλ. 18:46:Jehovah lives… may [He] be praised! May [the Name] of the God who saves me be raised…
Ψαλ. 18:49:So, I’ll praise You before all the nations; O Jehovah I’ll strum to Your Name.
Ψαλ. 19:7:Jehovah’s Law changes lives and is perfect; God’s witness can be trusted, for it brings wisdom to even the young.
Ψαλ. 19:8:Jehovah’s rules are all straight, and they bring joy to the heart. The Commandments of Jehovah radiate, providing light for everyone’s eyes.
Ψαλ. 19:9:The fear of Jehovah is pure, for it lasts through the ages, and then through the ages of ages. The judgments of Jehovah are true, for they bring the very same justice.
Ψαλ. 19:14:The prophecies of good will flow from my mouth, and the thoughts of my heart will be of Jehovah, for You are always my helper.
Ψαλ. 20:1:In times of trouble you should turn to Jehovah. Let the Name of Jacob’s God be your shield.
Ψαλ. 20:5:Then all will shout about their salvation, and praise the Name of our God… may Jehovah grant all that you ask.
Ψαλ. 20:6:Now, I have [seen] how Jehovah delivers, for He’s heard His anointed from His holy heavens. He takes control and saves with His right hand,
Ψαλ. 20:9:O Jehovah; please save the king, and pay close attention when we call upon You.
Ψαλ. 21:1:O Jehovah: The king will gladly submit to Your power, and for Your salvation he calls out in joy.
Ψαλ. 21:7:The king has put his hope in Jehovah, and he’ll never [lose faith in] the mercy from above.
Ψαλ. 21:13:May Your power be raised high O Jehovah, for we’ll sing and we’ll strum about Your mighty deeds.
Ψαλ. 22:8:‘He has put his trust in Jehovah, but if He wants him let Him save him!’
Ψαλ. 22:19:But Your help is not far away, O Jehovah, for You’ll notice and come to my aid.
Ψαλ. 22:23:Praise Jehovah, all you who fear Him! Give Him glory, all you seed of Jacob; but fear Him too you seed of Israel!
Ψαλ. 22:26:Then the stomachs of those in need will be filled, and those seeking Jehovah will give praise from their hearts, through the age and through ages of ages.
Ψαλ. 22:27:Turn back and remember Jehovah, all you to the ends of the earth. All families of the nations bow down before Him,
Ψαλ. 23:1:Jehovah provides, so I need nothing more.
Ψαλ. 24:1:To Jehovah belongs the earth and its goodness… the arrangement and all who live in it.
Ψαλ. 24:3:Who can ascend Jehovah’s mountain; who can stand in His Holy Place?
Ψαλ. 24:5:Only these are blest by Jehovah, and get charity from their Savior, God.
Ψαλ. 24:6:This generation is seeking Jehovah; they’re seeking the face of Jacob’s God.
Ψαλ. 24:8:Who is this glorious King? It is Jehovah the Strong One; our Lord who is the great warrior.
Ψαλ. 24:10:And who is this glorious King? It’s the God of armies, Jehovah. Yes, He is the glorious King.
Ψαλ. 25:1:I’ve lifted my life up to You, O Jehovah,
Ψαλ. 25:4:O Jehovah; You have shown me Your ways, now teach me to walk in Your paths!
Ψαλ. 25:6:Remember Your compassions O Jehovah, for You’ve shown mercy through the ages.
Ψαλ. 25:7:Please forget the sins of my youth… don’t remember what I’ve done in my ignorance. But in Your great mercy, speak of me to Yourself, for You’re so kind, O Jehovah.
Ψαλ. 25:8:Jehovah is upright and kind, and He’ll uphold His Laws ‘gainst those who are sinning.
Ψαλ. 25:10:For, merciful are the ways of Jehovah, and to those who are hearing His words He brings truth… to those who [honor] His Sacred Agreement.
Ψαλ. 25:11:Because of Your Name, O Jehovah, please cover my sins because they’re so great.
Ψαλ. 25:12:Who’s the man that fears Jehovah? He’ll give him laws in the path he has chosen.
Ψαλ. 25:14:For, Jehovah is a fort for all those who fear Him, and with them He has made an Agreement.
Ψαλ. 25:15:My eyes always look to Jehovah, for He pulls the snares from under my feet.
Ψαλ. 25:21:The guileless and upright have stayed close to me, because I stuck with You, O Jehovah.
Ψαλ. 26:1:Please judge me O God, for [before You] I’ve traveled innocently, and I’ve put my trust in Jehovah.
Ψαλ. 26:6:So, in innocence I’ll wash my hands, and encircle Your Altar, O Jehovah.
Ψαλ. 26:8:O Jehovah; I’ve loved the beauty of Your House; the place where You Tent in Your glory.
Ψαλ. 26:12:For with my feet I walk a straight path, and I’ll praise You among the gathering, O Jehovah.
Ψαλ. 27:1:Jehovah is my light and my savior, so whom should I ever fear? Jehovah is the defender of my life, so before whom should I ever be shy?
Ψαλ. 27:4:One thing have I asked of Jehovah, is to dwell in His House all my days. I wish to view the delights of Jehovah, and to visit His Holy House.
Ψαλ. 27:8:For my heart says to You, ‘I will search for Jehovah. My face has sought after You, and Your face, O God, I will seek.’
Ψαλ. 27:10:My father and mother have left me, but Jehovah has claimed me as His own.
Ψαλ. 27:11:So, give me Your Laws O Jehovah, and teach me to walk in Your ways. And because I have many enemies, guide me down roads that are straight.
Ψαλ. 27:14:So, wait on Jehovah… act like a man. Wait on the Lord and make your heart strong!
Ψαλ. 28:1:I’ll call out to You, O Jehovah; my God, I won’t remain silent, so You will never be silent with me, and make me like those who enter the pit.
Ψαλ. 28:4:O Jehovah; Repay them for the things that they do, and for all of their wicked deeds. Return upon them the things they have done; give them a just compensation.
Ψαλ. 28:5:O Jehovah; They haven’t noticed the things You have done… all the works that You’ve done with Your hands. So, You will wipe them away, and never rebuild them again.
Ψαλ. 28:6:Praise Jehovah, for He’s heard my prayer!
Ψαλ. 28:8:Jehovah is the fort of His people; the defender and savior of His anointed.
Ψαλ. 29:1:O sons of God, bring your things to Jehovah… the offspring of rams offer to God. Offer to Jehovah glory and honor…
Ψαλ. 29:3:Upon the waters is the voice of Jehovah. For the glory of God brings thunder, and Jehovah is [over the rain].
Ψαλ. 29:4:The voice of Jehovah is strong, and of His great majesty it speaks.
Ψαλ. 29:5:The voice of Jehovah breaks [down trees], even the cedars of Lebanon.
Ψαλ. 29:7:The voice of Jehovah cuts through like [lightning]…
Ψαλ. 29:10:Jehovah brings calmness to the downpours, and seats His king through the ages.
Ψαλ. 29:11:Jehovah shows His strength for His people; Our Lord will bless them with peace.
Ψαλ. 30:1:O Jehovah; I praise You for lifting me high, and not making my enemies glad.
Ψαλ. 30:3:O Jehovah; You saved my life from the grave… from those going down to the pit.
Ψαλ. 30:7:For (O Jehovah); It’s because of Your will, that You gave me both beauty and power.’ Then from me You turned away, and I became very disturbed.
Ψαλ. 30:8:‘O Jehovah,’ I cried out to You… my God I was beseeching.
Ψαλ. 30:10:Jehovah then heard and showed mercy on me, and He was my helper [once more].
Ψαλ. 30:12:For, You tore off my sackcloth and wrapped me in gladness, so I’ll strum to You in my glory. And O Jehovah my God; there’s no way that I’ll ever be angry [with You], but though the ages I’ll sing Your praises.
Ψαλ. 31:1:In You, O Jehovah, I’ve placed my hope. May I not be disgraced through the age. Rescue me in Your justice, and take me away from this place.
Ψαλ. 31:6:You’ve detested the foolish who waste their time, but I’ve put my hope in Jehovah.
Ψαλ. 31:9:Show mercy on me O Jehovah, for I am in great distress. My eyes are disturbed and enraged, as are my soul and my belly.
Ψαλ. 31:14:but I’ve put my trust in Jehovah. I said to You,
Ψαλ. 31:17:O Jehovah; May I not meet with disgrace, for upon You I have called. May the disrespectful be shamed, and then be led to their graves.
Ψαλ. 31:19:How kind are Your ways O Jehovah, which are hidden to those who don’t fear You. For, in the sight of all sons of men, You’ve come to the aid of the faithful.
Ψαλ. 31:21:May Jehovah be praised for His mercy, because; He brought miracles to a city that was surrounded.
Ψαλ. 31:23:O love Jehovah, all His holy ones, for truth is required by our God. And He doesn’t forget to repay, all who have too much pride. So, act like men and strengthen your hearts, all you who hope in Jehovah!
Ψαλ. 32:5:I’ve admitted to You all my lawless deeds, and my sins I’ve not tried to hide. I said; ‘I’ll openly declare my lawlessness to Jehovah,’ and then You forgave my Godless heart.
Ψαλ. 32:10:Sinners must be whipped many times, but mercy surrounds those who put their hope in Jehovah.
Ψαλ. 32:11:So, you should take joy in Jehovah; shout in joy all you righteous… boast about Him from you hearts!
Ψαλ. 33:1:O righteous ones, rejoice in Jehovah, for to the upright comes His praises.
Ψαλ. 33:2:Play to Jehovah on your harps; strum to Him on your lutes with ten strings.
Ψαλ. 33:4:The words of Jehovah are righteous, so trust in the things that He does.
Ψαλ. 33:6:By the word of Jehovah were the skies formed, and the Breath from His mouth formed their powers.
Ψαλ. 33:8:So fear Jehovah, those living on earth, for because of Him our habitation will shake.
Ψαλ. 33:11:But the Will of Jehovah will last through the ages; from generation to generation are the things in His heart.
Ψαλ. 33:12:Blest is the nation whose God is Jehovah; those He has chosen to be His inheritance.
Ψαλ. 33:13:From out of heaven Jehovah looks down, and He watches the things the sons of men do.
Ψαλ. 33:18:{Look!} The eyes of Jehovah are upon those who fear Him… those who put hope in His mercy.
Ψαλ. 33:20:So, with our whole lives we must wait on Jehovah, for He’s our defender and helper.
Ψαλ. 33:22:O bring Your mercy upon us Jehovah, for in You we have put all our hope.
Ψαλ. 34:1:I’ll praise Jehovah throughout all time… His praises will stay in my mouth.
Ψαλ. 34:2:I’ll praise Jehovah with my whole life, so listen you meek and be glad.
Ψαλ. 34:3:Glorify Jehovah with me; we’ll praise His great Name all together.
Ψαλ. 34:4:I searched for Jehovah and He listened to me. He rescued me during my travels.
Ψαλ. 34:9:Fear Jehovah, all you His holy, for those fearing Him will lack nothing.
Ψαλ. 34:11:Come to me children and listen, and I’ll teach you the fear of Jehovah!
Ψαλ. 34:15:For the eyes of Jehovah are upon all the righteous, and His ears hear the things that they ask for.
Ψαλ. 34:16:But the face of Jehovah is against all the bad, and He’ll destroy their memory from the earth.
Ψαλ. 34:18:For, Jehovah is near to those with broken hearts, and those humble in spirit He delivers.
Ψαλ. 34:20:Jehovah watches over their bones, and not a single one will be broken.
Ψαλ. 34:22:But Jehovah will ransom the lives of His servants, and no way will He harm those who trust Him.
Ψαλ. 35:1:O Jehovah; Please Judge the ones who are doing me wrong… wage war against those waging war!
Ψαλ. 35:9:With my whole life I’ll praise Jehovah, and [shout] in praise of His salvation.
Ψαλ. 35:10:With all my bones I’ll say to Jehovah: ‘O Lord; Who can be likened to You? For You rescue the poor with a hand that’s more solid, than the hands that rip the needy to shreds…
Ψαλ. 35:17:O Jehovah; How long will You allow this to happen? Restore my life from their evil deeds!
Ψαλ. 35:22:You have witnessed it all, O Jehovah! So, don’t remain silent or leave me.
Ψαλ. 35:23:Awaken now O Jehovah… pay attention to my case! Take notice of my cause, O my God.
Ψαλ. 35:24:Judge me, O Jehovah, and show me Your justice… my God, don’t let them rejoice!
Ψαλ. 35:27:May those seeking justice shout in joy and be glad. May they say ‘Praise Jehovah, for bringing peace to His servant!’
Ψαλ. 36:5:O Jehovah who lives in the sky; Your mercy and truth arise to the clouds.
Ψαλ. 37:3:Hope in Jehovah and act kindly. Live off the ground and its riches will serve you.
Ψαλ. 37:4:Take joy in [Jehovah your God], and He will provide all that’s in your heart.
Ψαλ. 37:5:Hope in Jehovah and show Him your way, and He will be sure to act.
Ψαλ. 37:7:Put your trust in Jehovah… yes to Him you should pray. Don’t envy those who prosper from crime.
Ψαλ. 37:9:For, those who are wicked will soon be destroyed, but those who wait on Jehovah, will inherit the earth.
Ψαλ. 37:13:But Jehovah is laughing at him, for He sees what will happen in His Day.
Ψαλ. 37:17:The arms of sinners will be broken, but Jehovah will support all the just.
Ψαλ. 37:23:Jehovah straightens the footsteps of man, and all should wish for His ways.
Ψαλ. 37:24:Then if he should fall he won’t break, for Jehovah is holding his hand.
Ψαλ. 37:28:For Jehovah is a lover of justice, and through the age He’ll not abandon the holy. The righteous will always be guarded, as those without law are driven away. The seed of the Godless will be perish,
Ψαλ. 37:33:But Jehovah won’t give them into his hands, nor judge them in condemnation.
Ψαλ. 37:34:Wait on Jehovah and follow His ways, and He’ll exalt you to inherit the land. Then you will see the sinners destroyed,
Ψαλ. 37:39:But Jehovah will save all the righteous; He’ll defend them in times of oppression.
Ψαλ. 37:40:Jehovah will help them and save them; from all of the sinners He’ll take them. Yes, He will deliver and save them, because in Him they’ve put their faith.
Ψαλ. 38:1:O Jehovah; Don’t discipline me in Your rage, nor in Your anger correct me.
Ψαλ. 38:9:O Jehovah; Before You are all the things I desire, and my moaning to You can’t be hidden.
Ψαλ. 38:15:For I’ve put my trust in You, O Jehovah… I’ve hoped that You would listen, my God.
Ψαλ. 38:21:Do not leave me, O Jehovah. Yes, my God, do not leave me!
Ψαλ. 38:22:Hear my pleas for help, O my God! O Jehovah, please bring me salvation!
Ψαλ. 39:4:‘O Jehovah, show me my limits, and the number of days I will live, so I come to know all the things that I lack.
Ψαλ. 39:7:So, how then can I endure, without the support of Jehovah?
Ψαλ. 39:12:Hear my prayer O Jehovah! Give ear as I beg in my tears! Don’t stay mute for I’ve traveled with You, as did all of my fathers.
Ψαλ. 40:1:I endured and awaited Jehovah, and then He noticed and heard my prayers.
Ψαλ. 40:3:He put a new song in my mouth… a sacred hymn to our God. Many know fear and then hope in Jehovah,
Ψαλ. 40:5:There are so many things that You’ve done, O Jehovah. Your ways are wondrous O my God; and there are no others like You, so about Your ways I’ve reported and spoken, and they keep growing beyond number.
Ψαλ. 40:9:‘About Your righteous ways, I have spoken among the great assembly. Look, O Jehovah; You know that I’ll not hold back my lips,
Ψαλ. 40:11:O Jehovah; Don’t keep Your compassions from me… may Your mercy and truth hold me fast,
Ψαλ. 40:13:Think well of me and save me O God… Jehovah, pay attention and help me!
Ψαλ. 40:16:O Jehovah; May all who seek You be glad and shout in joy… may all who love Your salvation, always shout aloud ‘Praise Jehovah!’
Ψαλ. 41:1:Blest is the one who pays attention, to those who are poor and in need, for in the evil day Jehovah will save them.
Ψαλ. 41:2:May Jehovah bless him and guard him, and keep him alive in the land, and not hand him over to his enemies.
Ψαλ. 41:10:But You, O Jehovah, showed mercy on me. You lifted me up and repaid them.
Ψαλ. 41:13:Praise Jehovah, Israel’s God, through the age and into the ages of ages. May it be, amen.
Ψαλ. 42:8:By day Jehovah instructs of His mercy, and I pray at night He will bring it; this God [who watches over] my life.
Ψαλ. 44:23:So, wake up… why do You sleep, O Jehovah? Stand up; don’t push us away ‘til the end.
Ψαλ. 44:26:So, arise O Jehovah and help us! Ransom us for the sake of Your Name!
Ψαλ. 46:7:For Jehovah of armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our shield.
Ψαλ. 46:11:Jehovah of armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our shield.
Ψαλ. 47:2:For Jehovah the Most High is to be feared… the great King over all of the earth.
Ψαλ. 47:5:To God ascended a shout; to Jehovah the sound of the trumpet was heard.
Ψαλ. 48:1:O how great is Jehovah… may He be praised in the city… our God on His Holy Mountain.
Ψαλ. 48:8:Just as we’ve heard we’ll also see, the city of Jehovah of armies. It is the city of our God; the one that God founded through the ages.
Ψαλ. 48:11:Be glad Mount Zion… shout in joy you daughters of Judea, because of the judgments of Jehovah.
Ψαλ. 50:1:Jehovah is the God of all gods, for He speaks and calls the sun from the east, where it crosses the earth to where it descends.
Ψαλ. 51:15:O Jehovah; Then to You I will open my lips, and with my mouth I will praise You.
Ψαλ. 51:18:O Jehovah; In Your good will, do the best thing for Zion, and allow Jerusalem’s walls to be built.
Ψαλ. 53:4:Don’t they know (those acting without law, those eating My people like bread) that they should call to Jehovah?
Ψαλ. 54:4:But look! God came and He helped me; Jehovah has shielded my life!
Ψαλ. 55:9:O Jehovah, please sink them! Make them speak different tongues! For I have seen how lawless they are, and I’ve heard their disputes in the city.
Ψαλ. 55:22:Upon Jehovah throw all your concerns, and He’ll nourish and take care of you. For, He won’t allow ages to pass, while the righteous are tossed all about.
Ψαλ. 55:23:But You, O God, will lead those men of blood and deception, into the well of corruption. There’s no way they will live even half of their days; for Jehovah I’m trusting in You.
Ψαλ. 56:10:so I will praise the council of God, and I will praise the words of Jehovah.
Ψαλ. 56:13:for from death You’ve saved my life. In my eyes I’ll keep my tears, so my feet will not stumble; and in the light of the living, I can then please Jehovah.
Ψαλ. 59:5:O God Jehovah of armies… O God of Israel take notice… come and visit the nations! Don’t pity those who are lawless…
Ψαλ. 59:8:But You, O Jehovah should be laughing out loud, and treating the nations with contempt.
Ψαλ. 59:11:Don’t kill them so Your Laws will not be forgotten, but scatter them with Your might. O my defender Jehovah; make them be led far away.

Ψαλ. 64:10:May the upright find joy in Jehovah, and in Him put all their trust, for He blesses those with straight hearts.
Ψαλ. 66:1:Shout to Jehovah, all you on the earth;
Ψαλ. 66:18:‘If You have found injustice in my heart, O Jehovah, don’t hear me.’
Ψαλ. 68:4:Sing to God! Strum to His Name! Open the way to the One riding west; Jehovah is His [great] Name! May all shout before Him in joy, and before His face may all be disturbed.
Ψαλ. 68:11:The Great God Jehovah will speak, and announce good news to the army.
Ψαλ. 68:16:O mountains; why would God choose to dwell upon you, for Jehovah camps at the extremes,
Ψαλ. 68:19:So, praise Jehovah our God! Praise Jehovah each day! For You are the One who blest us, O God; yes, You are truly our Savior.
Ψαλ. 68:22:Jehovah spoke and He said: ‘I will return them from Bashan; I’ll return them from the depths of the sea.
Ψαλ. 68:33:strum to Jehovah who lives in the sky… in the heavens above in the east. Look; He will shout in a powerful voice!

Ψαλ. 70:4:May those who seek You be glad and rejoice, and those loving Your salvation all say ‘Praise Jehovah.’
Ψαλ. 71:1:Upon You O Jehovah I’ve hoped, so may I not be disgraced through the age.
Ψαλ. 71:5:O Jehovah, You’re my endurance… the One who I’ve trusted since I was young.
Ψαλ. 71:16:I will walk in the might of the Lord. O Jehovah, I’ll speak of Your justice.
Ψαλ. 71:22:O Jehovah; I’ll praise You among all the peoples; I will play songs to Your truth, O my God. O the Holy One of Israel; To You I’ll strum on my harp.
Ψαλ. 72:18:Praise Jehovah, Israel’s God, for it’s He alone who does wonders!
Ψαλ. 73:20:O Jehovah; While I was awake I dreamed of Your city, and saw how You’ll treat them with contempt.
Ψαλ. 73:28:But stay with me O my God, for it’s good for me to trust in Jehovah. At the gates and before the daughters of Zion, may I ever sing in Your praise.
Ψαλ. 74:18:So, remember all of this, Your creation! An enemy is berating Jehovah, and the foolish are provoking His Name.
Ψαλ. 75:8:A cup is in the hand of Jehovah, and it’s filled with wine that is pure. And though He waves it this way and that, the wine and its dregs never spill… and from it the sinners must soon drink their fill.

Ψαλ. 76:11:Make a vow and pay it to Jehovah… all you living nearby, bring gifts to Him!

Ψαλ. 77:7:Will God reject me through the ages? Will Jehovah like me no more?
Ψαλ. 77:11:I’ll remember the works of Jehovah, and think of how all Your wonders began.
Ψαλ. 78:4:From their children they did not hide it, for they told it to each generation. [They spoke] in praise of Jehovah and His rule, and of all the wonders He’s done.
Ψαλ. 78:21:Then Jehovah heard all of this, which made Him so very angry. So He lit a fire within Jacob, and brought His rage upon Israel.
Ψαλ. 78:65:Then Jehovah awakened from sleep, as a Mighty One dizzy from wine.
Ψαλ. 79:5:How long, O Jehovah, will [You let] this happen? Will You be angry forever? Will Your zeal keep burning like fire?
Ψαλ. 79:9:Help us O God our Savior, for the sake of Your glorious Name! O Jehovah; For the sake of Your Name [come and] save us, and cover over our sins,

Ψαλ. 84:8:O Jehovah, God of armies; Please hear the things that I’m praying…
Ψαλ. 84:11:For Jehovah is a lover of truth, and mercy comes from our Lord… God cares and He will give glory… to the innocent He will bring good things.
Ψαλ. 84:12:O Jehovah, God of armies; Blest is the man who puts trust in You.
Ψαλ. 85:1:O Jehovah; You have thought well of Your land, for You have returned the captives of Jacob…
Ψαλ. 85:7:O Jehovah, show us Your mercy, and bring Your salvation to us.
Ψαλ. 85:8:O Jehovah; I’ll hear whatever You say, for God will speak peace to His people… to those who truly are holy, and wish to return with their whole hearts.

Ψαλ. 86:8:O Jehovah; Among all the gods there’s no other like You… there are none that can do what You do.
Ψαλ. 86:11:Guide me, O Jehovah, in [all of] Your ways, and I will walk in Your truth. Let my heart rejoice, O God, for Your Name I will fear [through the age].
Ψαλ. 86:12:O Jehovah my God, I will praise You; I’ll glorify Your Name with my heart through the age.
Ψαλ. 86:15:But You are patient, Jehovah my God… You show mercy, pity, and You’re true.
Ψαλ. 86:17:Give me a sign that [You’re with] me, and let those who hate me see it in shame. For You, O Jehovah, have helped me, and You have provided me comfort.
Ψαλ. 87:2:Zion’s gates are more loved by Jehovah, than all the other tents of Jacob.
Ψαλ. 87:6:Jehovah described it in the writings of men, who told of the kings that were born there.’
Ψαλ. 88:1:O Jehovah, my Savior and God, during the night I’m calling to You.
Ψαλ. 88:13:O Jehovah; I cried out to You in the morning, and You knew my prayer before it was said.
Ψαλ. 88:14:So, why O Jehovah, have You pushed me away? When will You turn Your face toward my life?
Ψαλ. 89:1:Your mercies O Jehovah, last through the ages, so I’ll sing from generation to generation. I’ll report Your truth with my mouth,
Ψαλ. 89:8:Who is like You, O God of armies? You are mighty, O Jehovah, and surrounded in truth.
Ψαλ. 89:15:Blest are the people who know cries of joy; O Jehovah, in the light of Your face they will go.
Ψαλ. 89:18:For, the One who helps us is Jehovah… the Holy One of Israel is our King.
Ψαλ. 89:46:How long, O Jehovah, will You turn away? Will Your rage keep burning like fire?
Ψαλ. 89:49:Where is Your mercy, O ancient Jehovah? When You swore to David were You telling the truth?

Ψαλ. 90:17:Send us the light of Jehovah our God, and bless the works of our hands… yes, bless the works of our hands!
Ψαλ. 91:9:Yes You, O Jehovah, are the One that I trust. If you make the Most High your refuge,
Ψαλ. 92:1:It’s good to praise You Jehovah the Most High, and to strum to Your Name;
Ψαλ. 92:4:O Jehovah; You make me glad with the things that You do, so I’ll shout in praise of the works of Your hands.

Ψαλ. 94:1:Jehovah is a God who seeks vengeance, and this God seeking vengeance has spoken aloud.
Ψαλ. 94:3:O Jehovah; How much longer will sinners remain… how long will sinners be allowed to keep boasting?
Ψαλ. 94:5:They’ve mistreated Your people, O Jehovah; to Your inheritance they have done evil.
Ψαλ. 94:7:They’ve said that Jehovah can’t see; so the God of Jacob will never know.
Ψαλ. 94:11:Jehovah knows the ways that men think, and that the things we think of are all foolish.
Ψαλ. 94:12:But blest is the man who Jehovah corrects, and is taught the ways of God’s Law.

Ψαλ. 106:34:Thereafter they didn’t destroy all the nations, as Jehovah’d instructed…
Ψαλ. 106:39:[So the land] was defiled by the things they had done, and they became practicing whores. 40  Thus Jehovah was enraged with His people… His inheritance He started to hate.

Ψαλ. 110:2:A strong scepter Jehovah will send you from Zion, and in the midst of your enemies you’ll rule.
Ψαλ. 110:4:An oath was sworn by Jehovah, for which He will never repent. He said: ‘You are a Priest through the ages, as in the order of MelchiZedek,
Ψαλ. 110:5:and you’ll [sit at] at Jehovah’s right hand.’ In the day of his rage he will shatter the kings;
Ψαλ. 111:1:I’ll praise You Jehovah with my whole heart, for the instructions [that I’ll share with] the righteous.
Ψαλ. 111:2:The deeds of Jehovah are great, and He searches for those He desires.
Ψαλ. 111:4:He’s made His wonders to not be forgotten, and Jehovah shows empathy and pity.

Ψαλ. 114:9:But not for our sake, O Jehovah… not for us, but to glorify Your Name, and because of Your mercy and truth,
Ψαλ. 114:17:The house of Israel hopes in Jehovah; He’s their defender and helper.
Ψαλ. 114:18:The house of Aaron hopes in Jehovah; He’s their defender and helper.
Ψαλ. 114:19:All those who are fearing Jehovah, are those who trust in the Lord, for He’s their defender and helper.
Ψαλ. 114:20:Jehovah remembered and blest us; the house of Israel He has blest, and the house of Aaron He has blest;
Ψαλ. 114:23:may you be blest by Jehovah… He who created the heavens and earth.
Ψαλ. 114:24:For the heavens belong to Jehovah, but to the sons of men He gave the earth.
Ψαλ. 114:25:The dead will not praise You Jehovah, nor will those going down to the grave.
Ψαλ. 115:1:I love [the fact] that Jehovah will listen, to the sounds of the things that I beg for.
Ψαλ. 115:4:So, I’ll call on the Name of the Lord: ‘Oh Jehovah, please save my life!’
Ψαλ. 115:5:Merciful and just is Jehovah, for our God is He who shows mercy.
Ψαλ. 115:7:O my soul, return to your rest, for Jehovah has watched over you.
Ψαλ. 115:9:Before Jehovah I wish to be pleasing, and to be found in the place of the living.
Ψαλ. 116:3:With what can I repay Jehovah, for all that He’s done for me?
Ψαλ. 116:4:I will accept His cup of salvation, and on the Name Jehovah I’ll call.
Ψαλ. 116:5:My vows to Jehovah I’ll render, there before all His people.
Ψαλ. 116:6:Yes, there before all His holy ones, I’ll show my regard for Jehovah.
Ψαλ. 116:7:O Jehovah, I am Your servant; the son of Your female slave. It is You who tore off my bonds,
Ψαλ. 116:8:so a sacrifice of praise I will offer, and on the Name Jehovah I’ll call.
Ψαλ. 116:9:I will pay my vows to Jehovah, before all of His people,
Ψαλ. 117:1:Praise Jehovah you nations! May He be praised by all you people,
Ψαλ. 117:2:for His mercy upon us is strong, and the truth of Jehovah lasts through the age.
Ψαλ. 118:1:Praise Jehovah because He is good, and His mercy endures through the ages.

Ψαλ. 118:5:In my affliction I called to Jehovah, and He answered my prayers in a great way.
Ψαλ. 118:6:Jehovah’s my helper so I will not fear, whatever things men can do.
Ψαλ. 118:7:For since Jehovah is my helper, my enemies will be inspected by me.
Ψαλ. 118:8:It is better to yield to Jehovah, than to give in to men.
Ψαλ. 118:9:It is better to hope in Jehovah, than to put trust in your rulers.
Ψαλ. 118:11:They had me encircled… I was surrounded, but in Jehovah’s Name I pushed them away.
Ψαλ. 118:13:I was stabbed through and fell flat on the ground, when Jehovah took hold of my [hand].
Ψαλ. 118:14:Jehovah’s my strength and my song of praise… He has become my Savior.
Ψαλ. 118:15:He’s the voice of shouting in joy, and a Savior in the tents of the righteous. Jehovah’s right hand has acted in power,
Ψαλ. 118:16:and by His right hand I was lifted… yes, Jehovah’s right hand has acted in power,
Ψαλ. 118:18:Jehovah has given me correction, and to death He did not hand me over.
Ψαλ. 118:20:For this is the gate of Jehovah, and all the righteous pass through it.
Ψαλ. 118:23:it’s by Jehovah that this happened, and it’s a wonderful thing in our eyes.
Ψαλ. 118:25:‘O Jehovah, please save us! O Lord, please bless our way!
Ψαλ. 118:26:Blest is he who comes in God’s Name… from Jehovah’s House we will praise you!’
Ψαλ. 118:27:Jehovah is God and He’s shining upon us, so gather for a great holiday… come with many sacrifices, to offer upon the horns of the Altar.
Ψαλ. 118:29:Because He is good I’ll confess to Jehovah, and His mercy endures through the ages.
Ψαλ. 119:1:Those who are spotless are blest… those who follow the Law of Jehovah.
Ψαλ. 119:12:May You be praised O Jehovah; please teach me [all of] Your ways.
Ψαλ. 119:33:So, establish for me the way of Your Laws, and I’ll always seek them, Jehovah.
Ψαλ. 119:52:Through the age I’ve remembered Your just decisions, and O Jehovah; they have brought me much comfort.
Ψαλ. 119:55:During the night I think of Your Name; O Jehovah, I have followed Your Law.
Ψαλ. 119:57:O Jehovah; You are the share I was given, and I’ve spoken of guarding Your Law.
Ψαλ. 119:65:You’ve used Your servant to do many good things, according to Your word, O Jehovah.
Ψαλ. 119:68:Benevolent You are O Jehovah, and in Your kindness You’ve taught me Your Laws.
Ψαλ. 119:75:O Jehovah; I’ve seen the justice of Your judgments, and with Your truth You’ve humbled me.
Ψαλ. 119:85:Lawbreakers have thought and plotted against me, but not by Your Law, O Jehovah.
Ψαλ. 119:89:Through the ages, O Jehovah, Your word abides in the heavens.
Ψαλ. 119:97:How I have loved Your Law, O Jehovah; through the whole day it stays on my mind.
Ψαλ. 119:107:O Jehovah, I have been humbled, so enliven me as You promised.
Ψαλ. 119:108:Voluntary offerings that come from my mouth, bring me much pleasure, O Jehovah, so teach me all Your decisions.
Ψαλ. 119:109:My life is always in Your hands, O Jehovah, and Your Law I have not forgotten.
Ψαλ. 119:126:It’s time to act, O Jehovah, for they’ve wiped away all Your Laws.
Ψαλ. 119:137:You are righteous Jehovah, and all Your decisions are straight.
Ψαλ. 119:145:I’ve cried out with my whole heart, ‘Hear me Jehovah and I’ll search for Your rules.’
Ψαλ. 119:149:Hear my voice in Your mercy Jehovah. In Your justice make me alive.
Ψαλ. 119:151:You are near O Jehovah, and all of Your ways are truthful.
Ψαλ. 119:156:You are filled with compassion O Jehovah, so enliven me with Your righteous decisions.
Ψαλ. 119:159:Look, O Jehovah, I’ve loved Your Commandments! So in Your mercy make me alive.

Ψαλ. 119:168:I have kept Your words and Commandments… all my ways are before You, Jehovah.
Ψαλ. 119:169:O Jehovah; Please hear the things that I beg, and give me understanding as You showed in Your sign.
Ψαλ. 119:170:If I am worthy O Jehovah, please allow me now to approach You… please rescue me as You showed in Your signs.
Ψαλ. 119:174:Your salvation is what I have longed for, Jehovah, and Your Law is all that I think of.
Ψαλ. 120:1:In my despair I called to Jehovah, and He listened to [my prayer].
Ψαλ. 120:2:[I said]: ‘From the lips of the unrighteous please save me Jehovah, and from those with deceitful tongues.
Ψαλ. 121:2:For, my help comes from Jehovah… He who made the heavens and earth.
Ψαλ. 121:5:Jehovah’s your guard and He’s your protection; He’s always at your right hand.

Ψαλ. 122:9:I’ve come to the [House] of Jehovah our God, in order to ask good things for you.
Ψαλ. 123:2:{Look!} As the eyes of a slave look to the hands of his master, and as the eyes of a handmaid look to the hands of her lady, our eyes look to Jehovah our God, until He takes pity on us.
Ψαλ. 123:3:Show mercy on us O Jehovah; show mercy on us, for we’ve been treated with contempt…
Ψαλ. 124:1:Unless Jehovah was with us…
Ψαλ. 124:3:Unless Jehovah was with us, the men who attacked would have swallowed us down.
Ψαλ. 124:6:Praise Jehovah for He has provided… He didn’t give us as game for their teeth.
Ψαλ. 125:1:Those who put their trust in Jehovah, are like those [who live on] Mount Zion. For those who dwell in Jerusalem, will not be shaken through the age.
Ψαλ. 125:2:As she is surrounded by mountains, Jehovah has surrounded His people, both now and into the age.
Ψαλ. 125:3:Jehovah won’t allow the rod of the sinners, to [fall on the backs] of the righteous. They won’t be stretched out before them, and be mistreated by their hands.
Ψαλ. 125:4:O Jehovah, do good to the good, and for those who are having straight hearts.
Ψαλ. 126:1:When Jehovah returns the captives of Zion, it will bring us much comfort.
Ψαλ. 126:2:With joyful [cries] our mouths will be filled, and with our tongues we’ll shout cheers. Then those of the nations will say, ‘Jehovah has made Himself great, in the way that He’s dealing with them.’
Ψαλ. 126:4:Jehovah, return all our captives, as You [return water] to the streams in the south.
Ψαλ. 127:1:If the house isn’t built by Jehovah, its builders have [worked hard] in vain. And if Jehovah’s not guarding the city, it’s in vain to stay awake and keep guard…
Ψαλ. 127:3:{Look!} The inheritance of Jehovah is sons; they are the wage and the fruit of the womb.
Ψαλ. 128:1:Blest are those who fear Jehovah… those who walk in His ways.
Ψαλ. 128:4:{Look!} The man who fears Jehovah is blest…
Ψαλ. 129:4:But [Jehovah our God] is righteous, for He has chopped off the necks of the sinners.
Ψαλ. 130:1:To You I cried from the depths, O Jehovah:
Ψαλ. 130:2:‘O Jehovah, please hear my voice! May Your ears hear the words of my prayers.
Ψαλ. 130:3:O Lord; If You look upon all our lawless deeds, who will then stand [before You], Jehovah?
Ψαλ. 130:5:O Jehovah; My soul has awaited Your word.
Ψαλ. 130:7:Let Israel put hope in Jehovah, for He provides mercy and [He pays our] ransom…
Ψαλ. 131:1:O Jehovah; My heart is not too exalted, nor are my eyes raised too high. I haven’t [spoken of] of great things, or of the wonders above me.
Ψαλ. 131:3:In Jehovah let Israel hope, both now and into the age.
Ψαλ. 132:1:O Jehovah; Remember [King] David and all his gentle ways.
Ψαλ. 132:2:For, he swore an oath to Jehovah… to the God of Jacob he made a vow. (He said),
Ψαλ. 132:5:When will I find a place for Jehovah… a Temple for Jacob’s God?’
Ψαλ. 132:8:From Your rest, arise O Jehovah, and [come to] the Chest in Your Holy Place.
Ψαλ. 132:13:For Jehovah has chosen [Mount] Zion; He chose it as His place to dwell. (He said):
Ψαλ. 133:3:It’s like the dew on [Mount] Hermon, that runs down to Mount Zion. For it’s there that Jehovah gave [meaning], to the blessing of life in the age.
Ψαλ. 134:1:Praise Jehovah, all you His servants, those standing in the House of Jehovah… those who stand in the courtyards, of the House of our God through the night.

Ψαλ. 135:13:O Jehovah; Your Name [lasts] through the ages; from generation to generation it’s how You are known.
Ψαλ. 135:14:Jehovah will judge all His people, and then His people will bring Him great comfort.
Ψαλ. 135:19:O house of Israel, praise Jehovah! O house of Aaron, praise Jehovah!
Ψαλ. 135:20:O house of Levi, praise Jehovah! All those fearing the Lord, praise Jehovah!
Ψαλ. 135:21:May Jehovah be praised in Zion… He who dwells in Jerusalem.
Ψαλ. 136:1:Let’s confess to Jehovah because He is good, and His mercy is into the ages.
Ψαλ. 137:4:How can we sing the songs of Jehovah, within an alien land?
Ψαλ. 137:7:Remember the sons of Edom, O Jehovah, when it’s Jerusalem’s day… those who said ‘Make it empty… empty it to its very foundations!’
Ψαλ. 138:1:With my whole heart I thank You Jehovah, and before the messengers I will sing songs, for You have heard all the words from my mouth.
Ψαλ. 138:5:Then let them sing of the ways of the Lord, for the glory of Jehovah is great.
Ψαλ. 138:6:Although Jehovah is high, He still cares for the lowly, but those who are haughty He sees from afar.
Ψαλ. 138:8:O Lord; On my behalf please repay them, for Your mercy, Jehovah, lasts through the ages. Please don’t overlook the works of Your hands!
Ψαλ. 139:1:O Jehovah, You’ve tried me and known me.
Ψαλ. 139:4:so You know that there’s no deceit in my tongue. Look, O Jehovah; There’s nothing that You do not know…
Ψαλ. 139:21:O Jehovah; Don’t I detest those who hate You, and against Your enemies show zeal?
Ψαλ. 140:1:Take me away, O Jehovah, from all men who are wicked… save me from the unrighteous…
Ψαλ. 140:4:From the hands of sinners please guard me, Jehovah… from unrighteous men take me away… those who lay plans to stumble my feet.
Ψαλ. 140:6:I said to Jehovah, ‘You are my God; O Lord give ear to the voice of my prayers!
Ψαλ. 140:8:O Jehovah; Don’t greant [the wicked] what they desire, for the sinners who are railing against me. And do not leave me, lest at any time, they should gain the upper hand.
Ψαλ. 140:12:I know that Jehovah keeps watch on the poor, and defends the cause of the needy.
Ψαλ. 141:1:O Jehovah, I’ve cried out to You. Hear and pay attention to my prayers as I call.
Ψαλ. 141:3:O Jehovah; Set a watch for my mouth, and a citadel door for my lips.
Ψαλ. 141:8:In You, O Jehovah my Lord, my eyes have trusted in hope, that my life You won’t take away.
Ψαλ. 142:1:With my voice I cried to Jehovah, and to Him I was begging.
Ψαλ. 142:5:So, I cried out to You, O Jehovah; I called out to You for You are my hope; You’re my share in the land of the living.
Ψαλ. 143:1:Please hear my prayer O Jehovah. In Your truth hear the things that I beg for. Listen to me in Your justice,
Ψαλ. 143:7:But quickly You heard me Jehovah, [before] I gave up my breath. From me do not turn Your face, so I won’t be as those who go into the pit.
Ψαλ. 143:8:May I be heard again in the morning, for I have hoped in Your mercy. O Jehovah; Please show me the way I should go, for to You I have lifted my soul.
Ψαλ. 143:11:Because of Your Name, O Jehovah, You will allow me to live, and Your justice will lead me, away from this pain in my life.
Ψαλ. 144:1:Praise Jehovah my God, the One teaching my hands to fight battles, and the arts of war to my fingers.
Ψαλ. 144:3:Jehovah; Just who is man that You’ve made Yourself known, or the son of man that him You’d consider?
Ψαλ. 144:5:O Jehovah; Lean from Your heaven and come down, then touch the mountains and they’ll smoke.
Ψαλ. 144:15:Declare them blest of whom such things are true, but blest are the people whose God is Jehovah.

Ψαλ. 146:1:O my soul, praise Jehovah.
Ψαλ. 146:5:He who has the God of Jacob as his helper is blest… he who puts his hope in Jehovah his God…
Ψαλ. 146:8:and it’s He who gives wisdom to the blind. Jehovah restores all those broken down, and He loves all who are righteous.
Ψαλ. 146:10:Jehovah will reign through the age. O Zion; For generations and generations He is your God.
Ψαλ. 147:1:Praise Jehovah, for our God is good. May His praise be delightful!

Παρ. 1:7:Wisdom starts with the fear of Jehovah; all who follow that rule, will be understanding and good, since reverence for God is the start of perception. But the disrespectful treat wisdom and learning with contempt.
Παρ. 1:29:because they’ve detested what’s wise, and didn’t prefer the fear of Jehovah.
Παρ. 2:5:you’ll come to know the fear of Jehovah, and you’ll find the knowledge of God.
Παρ. 2:6:Because, wisdom comes from Jehovah, and knowledge and understanding are found in His presence.
Παρ. 3:4:you will then find [God’s] favor. Before Jehovah and men, always plan to do good things.
Παρ. 3:9:Show honor to Jehovah… work hard at duing what’s good. Offer Him your righteousness as your first fruits,
Παρ. 3:11:O son; Never take lightly the instructions of Jehovah, or give up when you’re being disciplined,

Παρ. 8:22:‘If I should proclaim what happens each day, I’ll also count the things of the ages. I was created by Jehovah as the head of His ways, and to perform all His works.
Παρ. 8:26:Jehovah made regions and places to live, to the ends of habitation under heaven.
Παρ. 9:10:The beginning of wisdom is the fear of Jehovah, and the counsel of the holy gives understanding. Knowledge of the Law is good to consider,

Παρ. 15:9:The ways of the irreverent are disgusting to Jehovah, but He loves those who do what is righteous.
Παρ. 15:16:It’s better to have little and the fear of Jehovah, than to have great treasures and no fear [of Him].

Παρ. 15:26:The ways of the unrighteous are disgusting to Jehovah, but He respects the requests of the pure.

Παρ. 15:33:The fear of Jehovah is instruction and wisdom, and heeding it is the sum of all glory… and the humble will be led to this glory.
Παρ. 16:8:Those seeking Jehovah find knowledge and justice… those who righteously seek Him find peace.

Παρ. 17:11:Evil men search for ways to dispute, but a merciless angel Jehovah sends against them.
Παρ. 18:10:In the Name Jehovah there is might… the righteous run toward it and they are uplifted.
Παρ. 18:22:He who’s found a good wife, has done himself a great favor… joy from Jehovah he’s received. He who divorces a good woman, is one who throws good things away, but one who keeps an adulteress, is a foolish and irreverent man.
Παρ. 19:21:There are many choices in the heart of a man, but counsel from Jehovah lasts through the ages.
Παρ. 19:23:Fearing Jehovah brings life to a man, but he who has no such fear, will lodge in places where knowledge isn’t found.
Παρ. 20:10:An untrue weight, whether large or small, is something unclean to Jehovah. And both the weights and the one who made them,
Παρ. 20:12:The ear can hear and the eye can see, and they’re both the works of Jehovah.
Παρ. 20:22:Don’t say ‘I’ll get even with my enemy;’ just wait on Jehovah and He’ll give you help.
Παρ. 20:23:Two different weights are disgusting to Jehovah, and a balance that’s off isn’t good before Him.
Παρ. 20:24:The steps of a man are made straight by Jehovah, for how can a mortal know the right ways to go?
Παρ. 20:27:The spirit of men is the light of Jehovah, which He uses to see what’s inside them.

Παρ. 21:31:Though a horse is prepared for the day of the battle, [true] help comes from Jehovah.
Παρ. 22:2:The rich and poor should meet with each other, for both were made by Jehovah.
Παρ. 22:4:The fear of Jehovah is the father of wisdom, as well as wealth, glory, and life.

Παρ. 22:12:The eyes of Jehovah keep guard on good sense, and He treats lawbreakers like [garbage].
Παρ. 22:14:The mouths of the lawless are cesspools, which those hated by Jehovah will fall into.
Παρ. 22:19:Put your hope in Jehovah, and He will show you His ways.
Παρ. 22:23:for it’s Jehovah who argues their cause, so you’ll save your life from reprisal.
Παρ. 23:10:Don’t move the boundaries of the ages, and never take the possessions of orphans; for Jehovah is the One who’s paid their ransom;
Παρ. 23:17:Don’t let your heart be jealous of sinners… be in the fear of Jehovah all day!
Παρ. 24:8:The wise won’t turn from the Law of Jehovah, and they consider all things in their meetings.
Παρ. 24:18:For, Jehovah will see this and He’ll not be pleased, and upon you He’ll bring His rage.
Παρ. 25:22:By doing this you pile coals on his head, and Jehovah will repay the good things you’ve done.
Παρ. 27:20:As the grave and destruction never get filled, the eyes of a man are never satisfied. But the [desires] of the eyes are disgusting to Jehovah, as are the ignorant who don’t mind their tongues.
Παρ. 28:5:The evil don’t understand the meaning of fairness, but those seeking Jehovah fully comprehend it.
Παρ. 28:25:The judgment of a man without faith is [damnation], but those yielding to Jehovah are shown care.
Παρ. 29:13:When a lender and debtor meet together, Jehovah observes their agreement.
Παρ. 29:26:Many come to stand before leaders, but true justice comes from Jehovah.
Παρ. 31:30:‘Beauty and allurement are false, so that isn’t what you should look for. Find a woman who is praised and discerning; one who is known for her fear of Jehovah.
Ησ. 1:2:Hear, O heavens and [pay attention] O earth, for Jehovah spoke and He said: ‘I fathered sons and I raised them, but they have disregarded Me.
Ησ. 1:4:Woe to you O sinful nation, for you’re a people who are filled up with sins. You’re an evil seed and sons that are lawless, for you have abandoned Jehovah, and provoked the Holy One of Israel to rage, so you’ve now been pushed to the rear!
Ησ. 1:9:And unless Jehovah of Armies, should choose to leave us a seed, we will become like Sodom and GomorRah!
Ησ. 1:10:Hear the word of Jehovah, O you rulers of Sodom! O you people of GomorRah; Pay attention to the Law of our God!
Ησ. 1:11:‘What good are sacrifices that you offer to Me?’ asks Jehovah. ‘I’m full of the whole burnt offerings of rams, as well as the fat of lambs, and I don’t want the blood of bulls or male goats,
Ησ. 1:18:and then you can come and plead before me,’ says Jehovah. ‘Then if your sins should be crimson red, [I’ll make them] to be white as snow. And even if they are like scarlet, I’ll make them as white as fine wool.
Ησ. 1:20:But if you don’t listen and are never in need, I’ll send a sword to consume you.’ [Jehovah actually] said these things.
Ησ. 1:24:‘Because of this,’ says the Lord (Jehovah of Armies), ‘woe to you, Israel’s mighty, for My rage won’t cease against the contrary, and against My enemies I will bring judgment!
Ησ. 1:28:when the lawless and sinners are broken, and those leaving Jehovah are totally gone.
Ησ. 2:2:In the very last days, the Mountain of Jehovah will be seen, and the House of God will be over all mountains. It will be raised above all the hills, and all the nations will come there.
Ησ. 2:3:Many nations will go there and say, ‘Come, let’s climb the mountain of Jehovah, and go to the [Temple] of Jacob’s God. For, there He will show us His way, and that’s the way we will go.’ From out of Zion will come Law, and from Jerusalem, the Word of Jehovah.
Ησ. 2:5:Now, O house of Jacob; Come and let’s go to the light of Jehovah,
Ησ. 2:10:So, go to the rocks and hide in the ground, in fear of Jehovah and the glory of His might, for He will arise to devastate the land!
Ησ. 2:11:Because, the eyes of Jehovah are very high, but the eyes of men are very low; so men will soon become low, and Jehovah will be then be raised high in that day.
Ησ. 2:12:For the day of Jehovah of Armies, is coming upon the insulting and proud. And those who [think themselves] high and important, will then be brought [to the ground].
Ησ. 2:17:and every man will be small. The pride of men will [fall] in that day, and Jehovah alone will be high.
Ησ. 2:19:they’ll hide them in caves, in cracks between rocks, and in burrows that are under the ground, before the fear of Jehovah, and before the glory of His might.
Ησ. 2:20:Then men will toss all those disgusting things, that they’ve made with their hands (their worthless things made of silver and gold, which they made to bow down before), in front of the bats in their caves, and in the cracks between rocks, in fear of Jehovah and the glory of His might, when He arises to wipe-out the land.
Ησ. 3:1:Stop being like men who must breathe through their noses, for [what real value] do they have? Look at the Lord, Jehovah of Armies, for He’ll remove the men and the women, who live in Jerusalem and Judah, along with the strength of [their] bread, as well as the strength of [their] water;
Ησ. 3:4:Then Jehovah will appoint very young men, to be their rulers in order to mock them.
Ησ. 3:13:So, now you are judged by Jehovah, and against His own people He now stands to judge.
Ησ. 3:14:For, Jehovah Himself is judge of the elders, as well as the rulers of His people. ‘And you [O elders and rulers]; Why have you set My vineyard on fire? Why are the poor [now slaves] in your homes?
Ησ. 3:15:Why are you wronging My people, and disgracing the face of the poor?’ asks the Lord, Jehovah of Armies!
Ησ. 3:16:This is what Jehovah has said: ‘Because the daughters of Zion are proud, and walk with their [noses] held high, then beckon with their eyes and walk tiny footsteps, dragging their underwear with their feet,
Ησ. 3:17:Jehovah will debase the daughters of Zion, and expose their condition in that day.
Ησ. 3:18:Jehovah will remove the glory of their clothes… their fringes, and crescents,
Ησ. 4:4:For, Jehovah will wash away all the filth, from the sons and daughters of Zion. He’ll remove all the blood from Jerusalem’s midst, with the spirit of judgment and fire.
Ησ. 5:7:Now, the house of Israel is the vineyard, Of Jehovah of Armies, And the men of Judah are the loved ones He planted. I waited for it to produce what was just, But lawlessness was what it produced… Not a tower of justice, just cries of distress.
Ησ. 5:9:When Jehovah of Armies hears of these things? For, if there should be many houses, There’ll also be great desolation, And no one will live there again.
Ησ. 5:12:They drink to [the sounds] of the harp and the lute, Along with tambourines and pipes, And fail to consider the works of Jehovah… The works of His hands they fail to contemplate.
Ησ. 5:13:So, captives My people will become, Because they’ve forgotten Jehovah. Many will have died of hunger and thirst,
Ησ. 5:16:But the justice of Jehovah of Armies will be raised… Because of His justice, our holy God will be glorified.
Ησ. 5:24:Because of this, they’ll be burned up like stubble; Like coals of fire, leaping flames will consume them. Their roots will then be like dust, And their flowers will ascend like dust clouds. For they rejected the Laws of Jehovah of Armies… They’ve despised the Holy One of Israel’s words.
Ησ. 5:25:So, Jehovah of Armies is enraged with His people, And He raised His hand and He struck them. [By the smell] of rotting flesh the mountains were enraged, For they became like manure in the roads. Yet, even this did not [soften] His rage, Or still the raising of His [mighty arm].
Ησ. 6:1:It was during the year that King UzziJah died, that I saw Jehovah sitting on a high, lofty throne, and the [Temple] was filled with His glory.
Ησ. 6:3:And they were shouting to each other and saying, ‘Holy, holy, holy is Jehovah of Armies! The whole earth is filled with His glory!’
Ησ. 6:5:And I said, ‘O, I’m so unworthy and hurt by this, because I’m just an unclean man who lives among people with unclean lips. For, I have beheld the King – Jehovah of Armies – I’ve seen Him with my own eyes!’
Ησ. 6:8:Then I heard the voice of Jehovah ask, ‘Whom shall I send, and who will go to these people?’ And I replied, ‘Look! Here I am, send me!’
Ησ. 6:11:And I asked, ‘Until when, O Jehovah?’ And He said: ‘Until all the cities lie desolate, and no one lives there anymore; until no men are left in the houses, and the land is totally deserted.
Ησ. 7:3:Then Jehovah told IsaiJah, ‘You and your son JaSub (the one who you left behind) must now go to meet with [King] Ahaz, at the upper wash-women’s pool.
Ησ. 7:7:this is what Jehovah of Armies has said: There’s no way that this plan will succeed… it just will not happen.
Ησ. 7:10:Then Jehovah [sent a message to] to Ahaz, saying,
Ησ. 7:11:‘Ask for a sign from Jehovah your God, either from the depths or the heights.’
Ησ. 7:12:And Ahaz replied, ‘There’s no way that I’ll ask, nor will I put Jehovah to the test!’
Ησ. 7:13:Then he said, ‘Listen O house of David! If it’s too small a thing for you to supply men for a war, then how can you fight a war for Jehovah?
Ησ. 7:14:Because of this, Jehovah Himself is going to give you a sign! Look! A virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and you are to call his name EmManuEl.
Ησ. 7:18:‘In that day Jehovah will whistle, for the flies that cover the river of Egypt, and bees will come down from Assyria.
Ησ. 7:20:In that that day; Jehovah will use Assyria’s king, to take a razor and shave all those drunks, on the other side of the river. He’ll shave their heads and the hair on their feet, and then he’ll cut off their beards.
Ησ. 8:1:Then Jehovah said to me, ‘Go get a large new roll of papyrus, and write upon it with the pen of a man, about the swift plundering of loot… for now it is going to happen!
Ησ. 8:3:Well, thereafter, I [had sex] with Prophetess, and she got pregnant and gave birth to a son. Then Jehovah said to me, ‘Call his name Quick Gloom-Swift Looting,
Ησ. 8:5:Then Jehovah spoke to me again and said,
Ησ. 8:6:‘Because these people will not go, to the water of Siloam in peace, but prefer Rezin (RemaliJah’s son) as their king, {Look!} Jehovah is bringing against them, the waters of a huge and powerful river… the king of Assyria and his glory.
Ησ. 8:10:And no matter whom you ask to get your ideas, Jehovah will wipe it away. And no matter what you say you will do, it won’t be accomplished for God is [against] you!
Ησ. 8:11:This is what Jehovah said: ‘These people resist [My] persuasion, about the ways they should go, for they say:
Ησ. 8:13:Just hold Jehovah of Armies as holy, and then He’ll be your fear…
Ησ. 8:18:{Look} me and the children God gave me; for in the house of Israel they’ll serve, as miracles and signs by Jehovah of Armies… He who dwells on Mount Zion.
Ησ. 9:7:His rule from David’s throne will be great, and there’ll be no end to his peace. His kingdom will be established on judgments and justice, both now and into the age, for the zeal of Jehovah of Armies will do this.
Ησ. 9:8:But to Israel and Jacob, Jehovah sent death.
Ησ. 9:13:Because His people refused to turn back, until [the day] they were struck (they didn’t seek Jehovah of Armies),
Ησ. 9:14:Jehovah removed the head and the tail… the great and the small from Israel in a day.
Ησ. 9:17:And because of these things, Jehovah won’t favor their young men, nor will He show mercy on their orphans or widows, because they’re all lawless and wicked, and every mouth is unrighteous. Yet, none of these things will turn back His rage, for His hand will still be raised high.
Ησ. 9:19:And because of the anger and rage of Jehovah, the entire land will be burned, and its people will be as those burned in a fire, for a man won’t show mercy on his brother.
Ησ. 10:12:But after Jehovah completes all these things (that He’ll do to Jerusalem and Mount Zion), in His mind He’s determined to attack, Assyria’s king and the haughty glory of his eyes.
Ησ. 10:16:So, in place of your honor you’ll get dishonor, from Jehovah of Armies; and He’ll send you fire for your glory, then you’ll be consumed by the flames,
Ησ. 10:23:So, in justice this matter is being completed, for He who exacts is Jehovah. And Jehovah of Armies will act, throughout the habitation [of man].
Ησ. 10:24:For this reason Jehovah of Armies has said, ‘Don’t fear the Assyrians O My people… all you who are dwelling in Zion. Though [Assyria] will strike you with a rod, and bring you distress as he [marches] toward Egypt,
Ησ. 10:26:[At that time]; Jehovah the God of the Armies will rise up against them, and bring calamity upon them, as He did to Midian in the Place of Oppression. And His rage [will be expressed] by the sea, as they are traveling toward Egypt.
Ησ. 10:33:O Lord, Jehovah of Armies; See how Your strength puts the honored in disarray, and breaks the insolence of the haughty, in order to teach them the need to be humble!
Ησ. 11:2:The Breath of Jehovah will rest upon him… the spirit of wisdom and understanding; the spirit of strength and of purpose; the spirit of knowledge and reverence [for God]…
Ησ. 11:9:For, none will do any harm, and none will destroy on My holy mountain, for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of Jehovah, as the seas are covered by water.
Ησ. 11:15:Then Jehovah will [part] Egypt’s [Red] Sea, and He’ll lay His hand upon their [Nile] River… against its seven ravines He’ll send gales, so it can be walked on in sandals.
Ησ. 12:1:And in that day they will say, ‘O Jehovah I praise You, for though You were angry with us, Your rage has now turned away, and You’ve shown mercy upon us.
Ησ. 12:2:Look… my God and my Savior! I’ll do what He says and not be afraid, for Jehovah is my glory and praise, and He has become my salvation.’
Ησ. 12:4:and in that day you will say: ‘Sing in praise to Jehovah! Yell [in praise of] His Name! His honorable deeds announce to all nations! Mention that His Name has been raised!
Ησ. 13:4:There’s a voice like the sound of many nations, that is [being heard from] the mountains. It’s like the sound of many kings, and an assembly of many peoples; for Jehovah of Armies has given the orders, to a nation of warriors with weapons,
Ησ. 13:6:Shriek, for the day of Jehovah is near, and destruction by God swiftly approaches!
Ησ. 13:9:For, {Look!} the day of Jehovah is coming. It’s a day of incurable rage… the anger to destroy man’s habitation, and to wipe away all the sinners.
Ησ. 13:13:For, the skies will then be enraged, and the foundations of the earth will be shaken, by the anger and rage of Jehovah of Armies, in that day when His wrath will arrive.
Ησ. 14:1:This will all happen quickly… it will take little time, for the days will not drag on. But Jehovah will show mercy on Jacob (Israel will still be His chosen), and they will rest in their land. Then to them foreigners will be added… to the house of Jacob they’ll be added.
Ησ. 14:3:And in that day; Jehovah will bring rest from your grief and your rage, and the hard labor in which you once slaved.
Ησ. 14:5:for Jehovah has broken the yoke of the sinners, as well as the yoke of their rulers.
Ησ. 14:22:‘For, I will rise up against them,’ says Jehovah of Armies; ‘I’ll destroy their names, their remains, and their seed.’ Then Jehovah said:
Ησ. 14:24:Then Jehovah of Armies said, ‘This is how it will happen… this is the way it will be, for this is what I have decided: [Babylon] will remain in order
Ησ. 14:26:This is the plan that Jehovah laid out, for the habitation of man; and this is His high hand over the nations.
Ησ. 14:31:So shriek, O you city gates, and cry aloud O you cities, for the Philistines are being disturbed! Smoke is coming from the north, and none will be left [alive] there. Now, what answer can the kings of the nations supply? For, it was Jehovah who laid the foundation of Zion, and by Him many peoples will be saved!
Ησ. 16:13:‘This is what Jehovah said against Moab.
Ησ. 16:14:And then Jehovah spoke and said this: ‘In three years (in the length of employment of a servant) Moab will meet her dishonor; all her wealth [will be gone], with only a few peasants will remain there.’
Ησ. 17:3:No more will it be a fortified place (a place where EphraIm finds refuge); there will not be a kingdom in Damascus, and no Syrians will then be left there. ‘But it will be better for you, than for Israel’s sons and their glory,’ says Jehovah of Armies.
Ησ. 17:6:For, all that remains will be stubble… just two or three olive pits, on the tops of tall trees, where four or five branches remain.’ This is what [Jehovah] the God of Israel has said:
Ησ. 18:4:Because, this is what Jehovah has told me: ‘Though My city is protected from noontime heat, and as by clouds of dew before harvest;
Ησ. 18:7:Then gifts will be offered to Jehovah of Armies, by a people who’ve been afflicted and plucked out… a people who’ve been great [through] the ages; a nation that’s been trampled down, but in whom some hope still remains. For they will [live] from the rivers of that [land], to the mountain of the Name of Jehovah of Armies.
Ησ. 19:1:This is the vision against Egypt. {Look!} Jehovah sits upon a nimble cloud, and to Egypt He is going, to shake the idols that they made with hands, which now stand in front of His face, and their hearts will then be pierced through.
Ησ. 19:4:but I’ll give the Egyptians to hard taskmasters, and appoint hard kings over them. And Jehovah of Armies said this:
Ησ. 19:12:So, where are they now, all of your wise men? Let them now come and tell you, what Jehovah of Armies has planned against Egypt.’
Ησ. 19:14:Because Jehovah has concocted for them, the spirit of an addiction to delusions. And this will cause Egypt to [stagger], like drunks who go outside to vomit together.
Ησ. 19:16:In that day; the men of Egypt will all act like women, and before the hand of Jehovah they’ll shake, for He will cause this to happen.
Ησ. 19:17:Then the Egyptians will fear the land of Judea, and they’ll fear those who call themselves Jews, for Jehovah of Armies has plans against them.
Ησ. 19:18:In that day; In five cities of Egypt, they’ll speak the CanaAnite tongue, and swear oaths in the Name of Jehovah of Armies; and the City of Asedek will then be renamed, ‘The City of the One [God].’
Ησ. 19:19:In that day; There’ll be an Altar to Jehovah in Egypt. There’ll also be a monument to Jehovah at their borders,
Ησ. 19:20:which will serve as a sign through the age, that to Jehovah Egypt belongs. Then they’ll call to Jehovah whenever they’re oppressed, and He will send someone to save them… He’ll deliver them and bring justice.
Ησ. 19:21:So, to the Egyptians the Lord will be known… all Egypt will know Jehovah in that day. To Him they’ll offer sacrifices and gifts… make vows to Jehovah and pay them.
Ησ. 19:22:For, after Jehovah brings calamity on Egypt, He’ll heal them and they’ll turn to the Lord… He’ll listen to them and He’ll heal them.
Ησ. 19:25:For, thus says the praise of Jehovah of Armies: ‘Praise My people in Egypt, as well as those in Assyria, and My inheritance Israel.’
Ησ. 20:2:Jehovah spoke to IsaiJah (the son of Amoz) and said: ‘Remove the sackcloth from your loins, and untie the sandals from your feet.’ And he did so, walking naked and barefoot!
Ησ. 20:3:And Jehovah said: ‘As My servant IsaiJah walks naked and barefoot, such signs and miracles will be sent, to Egyptians and Ethiopians for three years.
Ησ. 21:8:[And I was told]: ‘Listen… call out to UriJah, from Jehovah’s watch tower!’ And he said: ‘I just stood there all day, and I watched the camp throughout the night.
Ησ. 21:10:So hear this, all you who remain, and those of you who are grieving… hear what I heard from Jehovah of Armies, for it’s what the God of Israel is announcing to you!
Ησ. 21:16:Then Jehovah said this: ‘In a year (as the year of someone who’s hired), the glory of Cedar will be gone,
Ησ. 21:17:and few of Cedar’s great bowmen remain, for Jehovah the God of Israel has spoken.’
Ησ. 22:5:for this is a day of disturbance, as well as trampling and destruction… it’s an addiction to delusions by Jehovah of Armies. They wander in the valley of Zion… from the small to the great, on the mountains they wander.
Ησ. 22:12:So, Jehovah of Armies calls for tears in that day… for the beating of chests and the shaving [of heads], as well as the wearing of sackcloth.
Ησ. 22:14:Since to the ears of Jehovah of Armies, so much [bad] has been revealed, these sins will not be forgiven, until the time that you die!
Ησ. 22:15:Then Jehovah of Armies said this: ‘Now go and enter My [Holy Place]; go to SomNan the keeper of stores, and then ask:
Ησ. 22:17:{Look!} Jehovah of Armies will now throw you out… He’ll wipe away such a man! Your [official] clothes He’ll remove, as well as the crown of honor [that you wear]!
Ησ. 22:25:Jehovah of Armies has declared: ‘This man will be removed and another entrenched, in a trustworthy place. He’ll be removed and he’ll fall, and all his glory will just waste away, for Jehovah [of Armies] has spoken.’
Ησ. 23:9:It was Jehovah of Armies who laid out the plans, to disable the insolence of these glorious ones… to dishonor the glories of the earth!
Ησ. 23:11:and your hands will no longer control the seas, O you the provoker of kings. For it was Jehovah of Armies… it was He who gave orders to destroy CanaAn’s strength,
Ησ. 23:18:And then her trading will become, as a holy wage to Jehovah; for their [profits] won’t be brought back to them, but to those who dwell before Jehovah… all [the wealth of] her trade [will be theirs], to eat and drink and fill themselves up, as a compact memorial to Jehovah.
Ησ. 24:1:{Look!} Jehovah will waste [your] habitation… He will make it quite desolate. He will uncover its face, and scatter those living upon it.
Ησ. 24:3:With corruption your land will be wasted, and by plundering the land will be plundered… these things were said by the mouth of Jehovah.
Ησ. 24:5:for [the land] is now thought of as lawless, on account of those who live there, because they have broken the Laws of Jehovah… they’ve wiped away and traded away, the Sacred Agreement of the ages.
Ησ. 24:14:So they will cry in loud voices… but those who remain in the land will rejoice, all together in the glory of Jehovah. Then the waters of the seas will be shaken,
Ησ. 24:15:and the glory of Jehovah will then be [made known], throughout the islands of the sea… and the Name Jehovah will be honored.
Ησ. 24:16:[For all the peoples will be saying]: ‘O Jehovah, God of Israel; Of [Your] miracles we’ve heard to the [ends] of the earth, and that there’s hope for those who respect You.’ And once more all will then say: ‘Woe to those who’ve annulled… yes those who’ve annulled the Law [of Jehovah],
Ησ. 25:1:Jehovah my God, I’ll glorify You, and to Your Name I’ll sing praises, because of the wonderful things You have done, and because [Your] ancient council has proven true… may it be!
Ησ. 25:6:Then Jehovah of Armies, will hold a banquet for the nations, and they’ll drink wine in joy on this mountain…
Ησ. 25:8:Then death [that plagues all] will be swallowed; Jehovah will take away tears from each face; and from the peoples of the earth He’ll remove all disgrace… this was said by the mouth of Jehovah.
Ησ. 25:9:And in that day they will say, ‘Look… it’s our God in whom we have hoped… it is He who brought us salvation. This is Jehovah… we’ve waited for Him! We’ll shout praises in joy for our salvation!’
Ησ. 26:4:Upon You we’ve hoped through the age, Great God of the age, O Jehovah,
Ησ. 26:8:For, the way of Jehovah is justice. We have hoped in Your Name, and You we’ve not forgotten,
Ησ. 26:11:O Jehovah; Your arm was held high, but they didn’t know it, And when they know it they’ll be shamed. Then zeal will take hold of an ignorant people, And fire will devour all those who oppose us.
Ησ. 26:12:O Jehovah our God, bring us peace! For, it’s You’ve who’ve given us all things!
Ησ. 26:13:O Jehovah our God, please own us! For we know no other, Jehovah, and we have called on Your Name.
Ησ. 26:15:O Jehovah; Add to them all the bad things… Add bad things to the glorious of the earth!
Ησ. 26:16:O Jehovah; Though in affliction, we never forgot You… In hard times we followed Your instructions.
Ησ. 26:18:In fear of You, O Jehovah, We have conceived in the womb. We went into labor and gave birth, By the spirit of Your salvation… By the things that You’ve done on the earth. We will not fall, though others will fall,
Ησ. 26:20:Proceed, O my people, to enter your bedrooms… Go inside and lock your doors, Then hide in there for a while! Because this will happen, then that; And the rage of Jehovah will pass.
Ησ. 26:21:{Look!} From His Holy Place Jehovah sends rage, Upon those who are living in the land. Then the ground won’t cover all the blood, And it will not cover those He destroys.
Ησ. 27:4:‘There are none who have failed to have her, So Jehovah did all that He promised. She is now to be burned
Ησ. 27:12:‘In that day, the ducts from the River RhinoCora, Will then be closed by Jehovah. But the sons of Israel will be gathered one by one…
Ησ. 27:13:And in that day they’ll blow a loud trumpet. ‘Then those lost in Assyria will return, As well as those who are lost down in Egypt. And they will bow to Jehovah, On His Holy Mountain in Jerusalem.’
Ησ. 28:2:For, {Look!} the rage of Jehovah is strong and it’s hard… it’s like hail that falls with great force, in a place where there’s nowhere to [run]. It’s like a flood that drags away [homes], in a land where He will bring rest, to your hands and your feet.
Ησ. 28:5:In that day, Jehovah of Armies, will be [the only] crown of hope… the crown of glory to the remnant of My people.
Ησ. 28:14:Because of this, hear the word of Jehovah: ‘O men who are being attacked, and rulers of Jerusalem’s people:
Ησ. 28:16:‘Because of this,’ says Jehovah; ‘{Look!} Upon the foundation of Zion, I will place a valuable stone… a costly, select cornerstone, to serve as its foundation… and those trusting in it will not be disgraced.
Ησ. 28:21:Jehovah will make mountains of the godless, and in Gibeon’s valley He’ll execute His rage… yes there He’ll do His bitter deed. But His rage will be brought in strange ways… the rotten deeds will be strange.
Ησ. 28:22:Then for you there’ll be no joy, for in your bonds you’ll be left without strength.’ Yes, these things will all happen… it’s what He will do on the land… it’s what Jehovah of Armies has told me.
Ησ. 28:29:for miracles will come by Jehovah of Armies. Accept [My] counsel and know that [your reasons for] comfort are wasted!
Ησ. 29:6:It will happen right away (in a moment); for you’ll receive a visit from Jehovah of Armies, with thunder, disasters, and with great noise… with blasts of wind, and the flames of a fire that consumes.
Ησ. 29:10:for Jehovah has given you frustration to drink! Then He’ll close the lids of the eyes of their prophets, as well as their rulers and seers;
Ησ. 29:13:Then Jehovah said: ‘These people approach Me with their mouths, and with their lips they offer Me praises, but in their hearts they’re really far away, so it’s in vain that they are worshiping Me. They are teaching the ideas and instructions of men!
Ησ. 29:15:So, woe to those with complicated plans, which aren’t according to Jehovah! And woe to those who make secret plans, and do things in the cover of darkness. For they ask; ‘Who has seen us and will know us, or know of the things we have done?’
Ησ. 29:19:Because of Jehovah, the poor will then shout in joy, and those who’ve given up will be filled with joy.
Ησ. 29:22:‘And concerning the house of Jacob,’ says Jehovah; ‘those I selected from the sons of Abraham: Jacob will not be shamed, nor will their faces be sad,
Ησ. 30:1:‘Woe, O children of apostates,’ says Jehovah, ‘because you searched for direction from others, and made treaties that were not by My Spirit… you added sins to your sins.
Ησ. 30:15:This is what the Lord Jehovah (the Holy One of Israel) has said: ‘You should moan, turn back, and be saved! Remember the foolishness you once relied on… how you chose not to listen, and then how weak you became.
Ησ. 30:18:And again you’ll [turn] to [your] God, and [hope] that He’ll have pity on you. And because of this, He’ll be [moved] to show mercy, since your judge is Jehovah your God. Blest are all those who stick close to Him,
Ησ. 30:20:Then Jehovah will give you a little bread and water, and those who misled will be no longer near you. Your eyes will see those who try to mislead you,
Ησ. 30:26:Then the moon will be as bright as the sun, and the sun will be seven times brighter, in that day when Jehovah heals His broken people, and heals the grief of their disaster.
Ησ. 30:27:{Look!} After a long time, the Name Jehovah, will come in burning rage and with glory. The omen from His lips is an omen of rage, and the flames of His rage are consuming.
Ησ. 30:29:Then, when you enter the Holy Place, you should do so in joy… as though it is a holiday! You should be joyful [and play tunes] as you go, to the Mountain of Jehovah, Israel’s God.
Ησ. 30:31:By the voice of Jehovah, the Assyrians will be conquered… He’ll strike and bring calamity upon them.
Ησ. 30:33:then after some days He’ll let them return; for, wasn’t the Kingdom prepared just for them? As a ravine that is deep, and as piles of wood near a fire, so is the rage of Jehovah… like a ravine that’s filled with burning sulfur.
Ησ. 31:3:The Egyptians are just men… they aren’t Gods! And their horses are no help at all, because they too are just flesh. So, Jehovah will raise His hand against them, and make those who are helping them tired, and then together, they will all perish.
Ησ. 31:4:For, the Lord said this to me: ‘In the same way that a lion or its cub, roars over the game that he’s taken, and continues to roar over it, until the mountains are filled with his voice, and all the prey will have vanished, because they’ve been scared by the greatness of his rage; so Jehovah of Armies will go down, to march upon Zion and her mountains.
Ησ. 31:5:For Jehovah of Armies can be like a bird… over Jerusalem He can fly, to rescue, protect, and to save her.’
Ησ. 31:9:they’ll be picked up like rocks for a siege mound and vanquished, and those who are fleeing will be captured. This is what Jehovah said: ‘Blest are those who have seeds in Zion, and those having families in Jerusalem.’
Ησ. 32:6:Because, the morons just say foolish things, and plan wasteful things in their hearts. They do things that are lawless, and against Jehovah speaks delusions, to scatter the lives of the hungry, and bring waste to the lives of the thirsty.
Ησ. 33:2:O Jehovah, show mercy upon us, for we are relying on You. Destroy the seed of those resisting persuasion, but save us in our time of oppression!
Ησ. 33:6:and to the Law they’ll be handed over, and our treasure will be our salvation. For in it are wisdom and knowledge, as well as great reverence for Jehovah… indeed; these are the treasures of the righteous.
Ησ. 33:10:‘And then I’ll arise,’ says Jehovah; ‘I’ll be glorified and respected.
Ησ. 33:22:My God Jehovah will not pass me by, for Jehovah [God] is our judge… He’s our ruler and king, and Jehovah Himself will bring us salvation!
Ησ. 33:2:for the rage of Jehovah is upon all the nations… His rage is upon all their numbers, to destroy and to hand them over for slaughter.
Ησ. 33:8:For, it’s Jehovah’s Judgment day, and a year of payback for the judgment of Zion.
Ησ. 33:16:They’ll pass in large numbers and none will then perish, so they will not have to search for each other. For, Jehovah has given them all their instructions, and He will gather them with His Breath.
Ησ. 35:2:Then the desert by the Jordan will cry out and blossom, for it will be given Lebanon’s glory, as well as the honor of [Mount] Carmel. My people will see the glory of Jehovah, and the full stature of their God.
Ησ. 35:10:those gathered by Jehovah will then go there. They’ll return to Zion in joy, and with the joy of ages on their heads; for blessings will be upon all their heads; they’ll be filled with happiness and leaping for joy, for from distress, moaning, and grief they’ve escaped.
Ησ. 36:7:And if you should say that you’re relying on your God Jehovah; isn’t He the same One whose high places and altars were removed by HezekiJah, who then told Judah and Jerusalem to bow before the Altar here?
Ησ. 36:10:Why, do you think that it was without Jehovah that we were able to ascend to this place to wage war against it? It was Jehovah who told me to go to this land and destroy it!’
Ησ. 36:20:Which of the gods of all these nations is the one who rescued his own land from my hand? So, how can Jehovah save Jerusalem from my hands?’
Ησ. 37:1:Well, when King HezekiJah heard this, he tore off his clothes and put on sackcloth, then he went to the [Temple] of Jehovah.
Ησ. 37:4:May it be possible for Jehovah your God to hear the words of RabShakeh, who was sent by his lord the king of Assyria to berate the living God… may Jehovah your God hear the words that he said to berate Him. Then please go to Jehovah your God to beg before Him concerning those who are remaining here.’
Ησ. 37:6:‘Tell your lord this: Jehovah says that you shouldn’t be afraid of the words that you heard the ambassadors of the king of Assyria say to berate Me.
Ησ. 37:14:So, HezekiJah took the scroll from the messengers and read it, and he [once again] went up to the [Temple] of Jehovah, where he unrolled [the message] before Jehovah,
Ησ. 37:15:and he prayed to Jehovah saying:
Ησ. 37:16:‘O Jehovah of Armies, God of Israel, the One who sits on the cherubs; You are the only God over all the kingdoms of the habitation of man. It is You who made the earth and the sky.
Ησ. 37:17:O Jehovah; lean Your ear toward me and hear me, O Lord! O Jehovah; open Your eyes! Look down, O Jehovah, and know and hear all the words that SenNacherIb sent to berate the living God!
Ησ. 37:18:It’s a fact, O Jehovah, that the kings of the Assyrians have conquered the entire habitation of man everywhere.
Ησ. 37:20:‘But now, O Jehovah our God; rescue us from his hands, so that all the kingdoms of the earth will know that You’re the only God!’
Ησ. 37:21:Then IsaiJah (the son of Amoz) was sent to HezekiJah, and he said to him, ‘Jehovah the God of Israel said, I have heard what you prayed concerning SenNacherIb, the king of Assyria.
Ησ. 37:22:And this is what Jehovah God said concerning him: Against the virgin daughter of Zion you’ve sneered, and treated her as though she is worthless, so against you the daughter of Jerusalem, has now nodded her head.
Ησ. 37:24:For, through messengers you’ve berated Jehovah, when you said I will climb up their mountains, with a vast number of chariots, to the ends of Lebanon. Then on the heights I will cut down its cedars, and the beauty of their cypress trees. Why, I went into the heights of their forests,
Ησ. 37:32:Then the survivors of Jerusalem, and those who are preserved on Mount Zion, will thereafter come to the fore, for the zeal of Jehovah of Armies will do this.’
Ησ. 37:33:So, this is what Jehovah said concerning the king of the Assyrians: ‘There’s no way that he will enter this city… he won’t shoot an arrow against it, or against it lift up a shield, nor will he surround it with a siege mound.
Ησ. 37:34:But he will return by the way that he came… he will not enter this city!’ Jehovah said,
Ησ. 37:36:And thereafter, one of Jehovah’s messengers came and destroyed the camp of the Assyrians… a hundred and eighty-five thousand of them! The [people] woke up the next morning and found just dead bodies!
Ησ. 38:1:At that time, HezekiJah became ill to the point of death. So, the Prophet IsaiJah (the son of Amoz) went to him and said, ‘This is what Jehovah has said: Give orders regarding your house, because you won’t live… you will die.’
Ησ. 38:2:Then HezekiJah turned his face to the wall and prayed to Jehovah,
Ησ. 38:3:saying, ‘O Jehovah; Remember that I’ve walked before You in truth, with a true heart, and I’ve done [many] things to please You.’ And with that, HezekiJah broke down and cried.
Ησ. 38:4:Then the word of Jehovah came to IsaiJah, saying,
Ησ. 38:5:‘Go tell HezekiJah that Jehovah said this: The God of your ancestor David has heard your prayer and seen your tears. So, {Look!} I will add fifteen years to your [life].
Ησ. 38:7:‘And this is your sign from Jehovah, that God will do the things that He said:
Ησ. 38:14:So, like a swallow I let out a call, And like a dove I meditated. ‘For my eyes failed to see the heights of the heavens. But then Jehovah became my salvation…
Ησ. 38:16:O Jehovah; It was concerning this that I [prayed], Then You reawakened my spirit… And I’m alive because of Your comfort.
Ησ. 38:20:O [Jehovah] my savior; For the rest of my life I will praise You… And I won’t cease to play on my harp, Before the [Temple] of God.
Ησ. 39:5:Then IsaiJah said, ‘Hear the word of Jehovah of Armies:
Ησ. 39:8:Then HezekiJah said to IsaiJah, ‘The word of Jehovah that you spoke to me is good, but may there be peace and justice in the days [of my reign]!’
Ησ. 40:5:Then the glory and salvation of God will be seen, for Jehovah’s the One who told us to do it.’
Ησ. 40:10:Look; Your Lord Jehovah is coming in strength, with His arm [lifted high] in order to conquer! Look; He is carrying the wages, for the things that before Him were done!
Ησ. 40:13:And who knows the mind of Jehovah? Who has become His counselor, and who can become His teacher?
Ησ. 40:18:‘To whom can Jehovah be compared? Just how would you [make an image] of Him?
Ησ. 41:17:Then the poor and the needy will rejoice, for they’ve searched for water and found none, and their tongues are drying from thirst. But I Jehovah, Israel’s God, will pay attention and I will not leave them.
Ησ. 41:20:so all will see it then think, and see that it came by the hand of Jehovah… it was the Holy One of Israel who [planted] them there.
Ησ. 41:21:‘But your time of judgment has approached,’ says Jehovah [our] God! ‘The time of decision has approached,’ says the Great King of Jacob.
Ησ. 42:5:so said [Jehovah our] God; He who made and assembled the sky; He who established the earth, and all the things that are in it; He who gave His breath to the people… breath [of life] to those who walk on it.
Ησ. 42:6:‘I (Jehovah) have called you in justice… I’ll hold onto your hand and give you strength. A Sacred Agreement I gave you, to make you a race that that’s a light to the nations;
Ησ. 42:8:‘I am [Jehovah your] God… yes, that’s My Name. My glory I’ll give to no other, and My supremacy I will not give, to things that are carved [by human hands].
Ησ. 42:10:So, sing a new hymn to Jehovah! Glorify His Name to the ends of the earth, you who go down to the sea and who sail there, and all you who live on the islands!’
Ησ. 42:13:Then Jehovah, the God of Armies, will [arrive], and bring an end to all wars. He will awaken His zeal and His strength, then against all His enemies He will rail:
Ησ. 42:21:Jehovah God’s Will is that He’s proven righteous, and that He’s held high [and offered] great praise.
Ησ. 43:1:Thus says Jehovah [our] God (the One who made you O Jacob; the One who shaped you O Israel): ‘Don’t be afraid for I’ve [paid] your ransom. To My Name I’ve called you and now you are Mine!
Ησ. 43:3:For, I am Jehovah your God; the Holy One of Israel who saves you. It was I who bargained for you, with Egypt, Ethiopia, and Sheba.
Ησ. 43:10:‘Be a witness for Me’ says Jehovah, ‘And I’ll serve as a witness [for you]… that you are the servant I’ve chosen… know, trust, and perceive that I am!
Ησ. 43:14:Thus says the Holy One of Israel… Jehovah God, who [paid] your ransom. ‘Because of you, I’ve sent [a message] to Babylon, to arouse all those who have fled there, and the Chaldeans will [return] their captives in boats.
Ησ. 43:15:For, I am [Jehovah, your] Holy God; Israel’s defender and king.’
Ησ. 43:16:Thus says Jehovah who made roads in the sea; who made a path between mighty waters;
Ησ. 44:2:For, Jehovah God (He who created and shaped you from the belly) says this: ‘Don’t be afraid, for you will be helped, O Jacob, My dearly-loved servant… Israel, whom I have chosen!
Ησ. 44:23:So, be glad, O heavens, for Israel’s God has shown mercy! Trumpet, O foundations of the earth… yell in joy, O mountains and hills, and all the trees that are on them, for Jehovah has glorified Israel, and for Jacob He’s [paid the] ransom!
Ησ. 44:24:This is what Jehovah (He who [paid your] ransom and shaped you from the belly) has said: ‘I am Jehovah… He who accomplishes all things. I alone stretched out the sky, and it is I who solidified the earth.
Ησ. 45:1:This is what Jehovah God says to Cyrus [His] anointed… to whom He’s grabbed hold of his right hand, and caused nations to pay attention before him: ‘[For you] the strength of kings I’ll tear open, and before you no doors and no gates will be closed!
Ησ. 45:3:I’ll give you treasures unknown; I’ll open to you what’s concealed and unseen, so you will know I’m Jehovah your God; the God of Israel who calls you by name.
Ησ. 45:5:‘I am Jehovah, The God; and besides Me, there is no god who’s not Me. It’s I who made you strong when you didn’t know Me.
Ησ. 45:6:So those from the sun in the east, and those [from its setting] in the west… would know there are none beside Me. ‘I’m Jehovah God and there isn’t anymore.
Ησ. 45:7:It is I who prepared the light, and I who made the darkness… it is I who made the good and the bad. ‘I’m Jehovah the God who accomplishes all things.
Ησ. 45:8:So, be glad you heavens above, and let the clouds sprinkle justice… let the ground arise and grow mercy, and together let justice burst forth! ‘I’m Jehovah, who created [all things].
Ησ. 45:11:So says Jehovah the Holy One of Israel, He who makes the things that will be: ‘Ask Me concerning My sons, and concerning the works of My hands… just ask Me!
Ησ. 45:13:and it is I who raised a king up in justice, and made all his ways to be straight, so he will rebuild My city, and My captive people he’ll then return… but not for ransoms or gifts.’ So says Jehovah of Armies.
Ησ. 45:14:Thus says Jehovah of Armies: ‘I’ll tire out Egypt before you, as well as Ethiopians and Sabean traders… you’ll pass over men who were haughty before you, and they will then be your servants. After you they will follow… tied up and walking in chains. Then to you they’ll be [handed], and they must bow before you. To you they will pray [as though] you’re a god, and to them there will be none other.
Ησ. 45:17:for Israel is released by Jehovah… they’ll [be free] though the age, and through ages they’ll not be shamed or remorseful.’
Ησ. 45:18:For thus says Jehovah (He who made the sky, and who [formed] the earth and made it distinct; He who did not leave it empty, but shaped it as a dwelling [for man]): ‘I am Jehovah; there are none other than Me.
Ησ. 45:19:And I haven’t spoken in secret, or in a dark place on the earth. Nor did I tell Jacob’s seed, that they should seek what is foolish! ‘I am Jehovah, the One speaking justly, and who is announcing the truth.
Ησ. 45:21:May all the announcers approach, so they altogether will know, and hear who did all these things. ‘From ancient times it’s been announced, that I am [Jehovah your] God! There is no other who is righteous and saves… there are none other than Me!
Ησ. 45:25:Justice and glory will be offered before Him, and those leaving Jehovah will be shamed.
Ησ. 47:4:‘The Name of this Savior is Jehovah of Armies… He is Israel’s Holy One.
Ησ. 48:2:those who’ve forgotten both justice and truth; those holding as holy the name of [His] city; those who lean on Israel’s God, whose Name is Jehovah of Armies!
Ησ. 48:16:So now, lean toward Me and listen!’ What I said long ago wasn’t spoken secretly, and when it all happened I was there. And now Lord Jehovah has sent me with His Breath.
Ησ. 48:17:For thus says Jehovah your Savior, He, the Holy One of Israel: ‘I am Jehovah your God, and I’ve shown you how to find the way you should go.
Ησ. 48:20:Come out of Babylon… flee the Chaldeans! Announce it aloud in joyful shouting, and may it be known to all [ears]! Report it to the ends of the earth! Say, ‘Jehovah has saved His servant Jacob!
Ησ. 48:22:but for the godless there’ll be no rejoicing,’ says Jehovah [our God].
Ησ. 49:1:‘Hear O islands; pay attention O nations! For, after some time it will happen,’ says Jehovah. From the belly of my mother He called me by name,
Ησ. 49:4:And I said: ‘I’m tired and useless, and all is in vain… I’ve used all my strength up for nothing. For, I’ve been judged by Jehovah, and all my work [was examined] by God.’
Ησ. 49:5:‘And now,’ says Jehovah, He who shaped me as His servant from the belly, ‘you gather Jacob to Me, so [all of] Israel will be gathered.’ He says that before Him I’ll be glorified, and my God will become my [great] strength.
Ησ. 49:7:so says Jehovah, Israel’s God; He who is your salvation. ‘Make holy all those who think their lives worthless; those who are hated by the nations, and those who are servants of rulers. For, they will be seen by all kings, and all the rulers will then stand before them, and because of Jehovah the [rulers] will bow. ‘The Holy One of Israel can be trusted, and I’m the One who chose you,’
Ησ. 49:8:says Jehovah. ‘At the appropriate time, I’ll pay attention to you, and in the day of Salvation I’ll help you. I shaped you and gave you a promise over nations, in order to reestablish the land, and to inherit the inheritances lying desolate.
Ησ. 49:14:But then it was said by Zion: ‘I was abandoned by Jehovah, and I was forgotten by the Lord.’
Ησ. 49:15:And Jehovah replied: ‘Will a woman forget her own child, or not show mercy on the offspring of her belly? Yet, even if a woman could forget such things, I will never forget you.
Ησ. 49:18:‘Look up; look around; see it with your eyes… Look! They’re all gathered and returned!’ ‘As I live,’ says Jehovah, ‘You’ll wear them as ornaments on your clothes… you’ll wear them as the ornaments of a bride.
Ησ. 49:22:‘Look,’ says the [great] Lord Jehovah, ‘I’m lifting My hand to the nations, and to the islands I’ll lift My sign. Then they will raise your sons to their chests, and your daughters they’ll lift on their shoulders.
Ησ. 49:23:Then their kings will serve as your [butlers], and their queens will be your wet nurses. They’ll bow before you with their faces to the ground, and lick the dust from your feet. Then you will know that I am Jehovah, and those waiting for Me will never be shamed.’
Ησ. 49:25:Jehovah replies: ‘If someone can capture a giant, he can take all the things that he owns; yes, he can safely take from the strong. But I am pleading your case, and I will rescue your sons.
Ησ. 49:26:So, those who oppress you will eat their own flesh, and the new wine that they drink will be their own blood. Then they will get drunk and all flesh will see, that I am Jehovah your Savior… He who gives Jacob his strength.’
Ησ. 50:1:So says Jehovah: ‘What kind divorce certificate is this, by which I sent you back to your mother; whom do I owe that I’ve had to sell you? {Look!} You have been sold for your sins, and I sent you home to your mother, because of your lawless deeds!
Ησ. 50:4:Jehovah gave me a tongue to instruct, and a knowledge of when to speak words. He stood by me morning after morning, and He gave me an ear so I’d hear.
Ησ. 50:7:For, the Lord Jehovah is my helper, and because of this I’m not ashamed. I set my face as solid rock, for, I know there’s no way I’ll be shamed.
Ησ. 50:9:Look! Jehovah will come to my aid! So who can now do me harm? Look… like coats you will grow old, and then you’ll be eaten by moths.
Ησ. 50:10:Who among you fears Jehovah? Then let him obey the voice of His servant! Let those who travel in darkness (those for whom there’s no light), yield to the Name of the Lord, and lean for support upon God!
Ησ. 51:1:Listen to Me, O you who’d be righteous… those who are seeking Jehovah; look to the rock that you’ve quarried, and into the pit of the well that you’ve dug!
Ησ. 51:11:for those whose ransom is paid? It’s by Jehovah that they’ll be returned, and then they’ll come to Zion with gladness, and leap for joy through the age. Upon their heads there’ll be praises, and with happiness be overcome, for grief, and anguish, and moaning will have fled.
Ησ. 51:15:For I am your God who shakes the seas – it is I who makes its waves roar – Jehovah of Armies is My Name.
Ησ. 51:17:Wake up… get up, O Jerusalem, the one who drank from the cup of [My] rage… [that which came] from the hand of Jehovah! Take the blows from that cup, for you’ll drink of that cup ‘til it’s empty.
Ησ. 51:20:Your sons will all be confused, and like half-boiled beets they’ll sleep in the streets… they will feel the rage of Jehovah, and before Jehovah they’ll faint.
Ησ. 51:22:For thus says [Jehovah our] God, the One who is judging His people: ‘{Look!} I’ve taken the cup of blows from your hands, which is the cup of My rage, so you must no longer drink it.
Ησ. 52:3:For thus says [your God] Jehovah: ‘Without a price you were sold, so without silver you’ll be ransomed.’
Ησ. 52:4:Thus says Jehovah the Lord: ‘My people went down into Egypt, to spend time in this place where they lived, and then to Assyria they were taken by force.
Ησ. 52:5:So now; [Do you know] why you are there?’ And then the Lord told me this: ‘Since My people were taken without price, [all should] wonder and shriek! For Jehovah says this: Because of you, My Name has been blasphemed, among [all other] nations.
Ησ. 52:8:‘The voices of those guarding will be raised, and all the voices will be glad. For eye to eye you will see it, when Jehovah shows mercy on Zion.
Ησ. 52:9:So, let Jerusalem’s desolate places, applaud together in joy, for Jehovah’s shown mercy upon her… He has rescued Jerusalem!
Ησ. 52:10:Jehovah will bare His holy arm, in the presence of all the nations… to the ends of the earth all will see it… the salvation that comes from our God.
Ησ. 52:11:‘Leave… leave… get out! And do not touch the thing that’s unclean! Get out of its midst and stay far away, you who carry Jehovah’s [sacred things]!
Ησ. 53:1:O Lord; Who has trusted our report, and to whom was the arm of Jehovah revealed?
Ησ. 53:6:For like sheep we have all strayed, and in his own ways man has wandered. So, he was sent by Jehovah for our sins;
Ησ. 53:10:It was Jehovah’s will to cleanse him by beating. But [because he] was brought as an offering for sin, you will see long-lived seed.
Ησ. 53:11:It was Jehovah’s will to remove, the misery in that life with His hand, for this showed him light and shaped his understanding, and proved this righteous one just… this good one who was serving for many, so as to bear all their sins.
Ησ. 54:1:So, be glad all you who are sterile! Yell, O you who did not give birth… O you the one without birth pains! For, many are the children of she who is childless… [more so] than the one with a husband. For, Jehovah spoke and said this:
Ησ. 54:5:Because; the Lord is the One who remade you… Jehovah of Armies is His Name. Yes, He is the One who is rescuing you. And at that time; Israel’s God will be called, the God of the whole earth.
Ησ. 54:8:In rage I turned My face for a while, and now ages of mercy I’ll show you,’ said He who saves you, Jehovah.
Ησ. 54:10:For your mountains [will never] be changed; your hills will not be taken away; and My mercy upon you won’t fail, nor will My Agreement for peace be removed.’ That’s how Jehovah spoke kindly of you.
Ησ. 54:17:so no weapons that they bring will succeed… you’ll vanquish the voices they raise to condemn you. Yes, this is the inheritance of Jehovah’s servants, for you’ll be found righteous by Me,’ says the Lord.
Ησ. 55:5:{Look!} Nations you don’t know will call upon you… peoples you don’t know will seek refuge in you, because of your God Jehovah… because of the Holy One of Israel, for He will have glorified you.
Ησ. 55:6:Search for Jehovah, and when you find Him, call upon Him so He will approach you.
Ησ. 55:7:Let the irreverent leave their bad ways, and lawless men all their plans! Let them return to Jehovah, then He (our God) will show mercy upon them… He’ll even forgive their greatest of sins!
Ησ. 55:8:‘Your plans are not like My plans, and your ways are not like My ways,’ says Jehovah.
Ησ. 55:13:Instead of brush piles, cypress will grow; and instead of briars, myrtles will sprout. Then the Name Jehovah will be known… it will serve as a sign through the ages, and this will never [come to an] end.
Ησ. 56:1:Jehovah says: ‘Guard right decisions and justice, for salvation from Me is now near… mercy from Me is about to be shown.
Ησ. 56:3:Do not let the foreigner say (he who has come to be joined to the Lord): ‘Jehovah surely has set me apart from His people.’ And may the eunuch not say: ‘I am just a dry tree!’
Ησ. 56:4:For, thus says Jehovah to eunuchs: ‘To all who are keeping My Sabbaths; to all who choose to do what I want; and to all who hold to My Sacred Agreement,
Ησ. 56:6:And I’ll give it to those foreign peoples, who [come to] join to Jehovah; to those who will serve and love the Lord’s Name, and wish to be His male and female servants; to all those keeping My Sabbaths (those who do not profane them), and those who will hold to My Sacred Agreement.
Ησ. 56:8:said Jehovah… He who’s collecting Israel’s scattered. ‘Then, to him I’ll gather a whole congregation,
Ησ. 57:15:Thus says the Most High in the heights, where He lives through the ages… there in the Holiest of Holies; He who rests in the Holiest highest places… Jehovah is His [great] Name; He who is patient with the meek, and to the brokenhearted gives life:
Ησ. 57:19:bringing peace upon peace, to those far away and those who are near.’ And Jehovah said: ‘As the result I will heal them,
Ησ. 58:6:‘I haven’t asked you to fast for such things,’ says Jehovah, ‘but for you to untie the bonds of injustice! Leave the perverseness of violent exchanges; send away freely those who’ve been wronged; and tear up your unrighteous [contracts]!
Ησ. 58:9:When you call to Jehovah He will listen, and while you’re yet speaking say, ‘Look, I am here!’ ‘If you’ll remove all your evil plans, then stretch out your hands and not grumble;
Ησ. 58:14:then you’ll be relying on Jehovah, and to your land He’ll send good things, to feed the inheritance of Jacob your father.’ From the mouth of Jehovah these things were said.
Ησ. 59:1:Is the hand of Jehovah too weak to save? Are His ears too heavy to hear?
Ησ. 59:15:truth has been lifted away, and the thoughts of the understanding have been twisted. Jehovah saw this and He was not pleased, for nowhere could fairness be found.
Ησ. 59:19:The Name of the Lord will be feared in the west, and in the east they’ll fear His honor. For like the rage of a river, the anger of Jehovah will come.
Ησ. 59:20:Then a savior will come out of Zion, who’ll remove the irreverence from Jacob,’ said Jehovah.
Ησ. 60:1:Be enlightened… Jerusalem be enlightened; for your light is shining upon you, and the glory of Jehovah has risen!
Ησ. 60:6:Herds of camels you’ll have, for the camels of Midian, Ephah, and Sheba, will come bringing frankincense and gold, announcing good news of Jehovah’s salvation.
Ησ. 60:9:Islands have waited upon Me, and boats of Tarshish are some of the first. They’re returning your children from far away places, all carrying silver and gold, because the Name Jehovah is holy, and the Holy One of Israel is glorious.
Ησ. 60:14:Then the sons of those who once humbled you, will come before you in awe. And those who provoked you will then bow before you, with their heads at the soles of your feet. And you will be called the City of Jehovah… Zion the Holy Place of Israel.
Ησ. 60:16:From the milk of the nations you’ll be nourished, and from the wealth of kings you will eat. Then you will know that I am Jehovah, your Rescuer and Savior… Jacob’s God.
Ησ. 60:19:Then your days won’t be lit by the sun, nor will the moon light your nights. For through the ages Jehovah will be your light… even God will serve as your glory.
Ησ. 60:22:The remnant will then become thousands, and the least will become a great nation; for in time I (Jehovah) will bring them together.
Ησ. 61:1:The Breath of Jehovah is upon me; He’s anointed me to announce good news to the poor;
Ησ. 61:2:He sent me to heal the broken hearted; to proclaim a release to the captives, and a recovery of sight to the blind; to proclaim a year of the favor of Jehovah, as well as a day to repay; to comfort those who are mourning,
Ησ. 61:3:and to bring glory in place of ashes, to those who are mourning on Zion… an anointing of joy to all those who mourn… a clothing of glory for the spirit of indifference. Generations of the righteous they’ll be called… a planting by Jehovah for His glory.
Ησ. 61:6:Then Priests of Jehovah you’ll be called; they’ll say you’re the servants of God. You’ll devour the strength of the nations, and be admired because of their wealth.
Ησ. 61:8:For I am Jehovah, He who loves justice, and detests all unrighteous taking. So, I’ll return their efforts to the righteous, and create with them an Agreement of the ages.
Ησ. 61:10:And they will be glad and take joy in the Lord. May my life shout in praise to Jehovah, for He’s wrapped me in the robe of salvation, and in an inner garment of joy! As a groom, He’s put a turban on my [head], and adorned me with the tiara of a bride.
Ησ. 61:11:Just as the earth grows its flowers, and as seeds in a garden put out sprouts, the Lord Jehovah will arise and bring justice, and a leaping for joy before all the nations.
Ησ. 62:4:Then you’ll not be called the Forsaken, and your land won’t be called Desolation. For, you will be called My Will, and your land will be called Being Lived In, because Jehovah found pleasure in you, and to Him your land will be married.
Ησ. 62:5:As a young man joins with a virgin, so your sons will then live among you. For you’ll be happy as a groom with his bride… and that’s how Jehovah will find joy in you.
Ησ. 62:6:O Jerusalem; I’ll put a guard on your walls, [to watch over you] day and night, and he will never stay silent… he will speak of Jehovah to the end.
Ησ. 62:8:Jehovah swore by His right hand, and by the strength of His arm: ‘I won’t give enemies your food or your grain, nor will foreigner’s sons drink your wine.
Ησ. 62:9:But those who do the picking will eat it, and they will then praise Jehovah; and those who are gathering [the grapes], will drink [the wine] in My Holy estates.’
Ησ. 62:11:for {Look!} Jehovah made this heard to the ends of the earth: ‘Say to the daughter of Zion, Look, the savior has come; and before his face is his work and reward!
Ησ. 62:12:Then He will call them a most holy people (those being ransomed by Jehovah), but you will be called The City We’ve Looked For, and no longer The One That’s Abandoned.
Ησ. 63:7:I’ve thought about the mercy of Jehovah, and all the virtues of His retribution, [and I’ve found that His] judgment on Israel is just, for, He brings upon us justice and mercy.
Ησ. 63:14:Then, as though they were cattle, [they moved on through] the plains, while Jehovah’s Breath descended to guide them. That is how You’ve led Your people, to make a glorious Name for Yourself.
Ησ. 63:16:You have now become our Father, for by Abraham we wouldn’t be known, nor would Israel have recognize us. So, help us please, O Jehovah, for You are have become our [true] Father!
Ησ. 64:8:And now, O Jehovah; You are our only [true] Father, and we are just [clay]… the works of Your hands.
Ησ. 64:9:So, [please] don’t stay very angry with us… don’t remember our sins for a long time! Now look upon us, O Jehovah, because we are your people!
Ησ. 64:12:All of these things You’ve endured, O Jehovah… You’ve kept silent and humbled us much.
Ησ. 65:7:as well as the sins of their fathers,’ says Jehovah; ‘all those who burned incense on the mountains, and spoke ill of Me on the hills… I will [heap] all their deeds on their chests!’
Ησ. 65:8:Jehovah says: ‘When they find seeds in clusters of grapes, they say: Don’t throw it away for it will bring blessings. And that’s what I’ll do with My servants… that’s what I’ll do, so I don’t destroy all.
Ησ. 65:13:‘And because of this,’ says Jehovah, ‘{Look!} Those who serve Me will eat, but you in turn will go hungry. {Look!} All my servants will drink, but you in turn will be thirsty. {Look!} Those serving Me will be happy, but you will just be ashamed.
Ησ. 65:25:‘Then wolves and lambs together will graze, and the lion will eat straw like the ox. The snake will eat the ground as its bread, and they will not harm or destroy, on My Holy Mountain,’ says Jehovah.
Ησ. 66:1:Jehovah said: ‘The heavens are My Throne and the earth is My footstool, so what kind of House can you build Me… what kind of place [can you build] for My rest?
Ησ. 66:2:For, all these things I have made with My hand, so these things are [already] Mine.’ Then Jehovah said: ‘And upon whom will I look [in favor]? Just on the humble and unassuming… those who tremble at My words.
Ησ. 66:5:Hear the word of Jehovah, O you who tremble at His voice! Tell your brothers who hate and detest you, that they should give glory to the Name of the Lord, and [that Name] should be looked on in gladness… but they will just be ashamed!
Ησ. 66:6:The sound of a voice now cries from the city… a voice [that comes] from the Temple… it is the voice of Jehovah, and it’s about [His bringing] of retribution:
Ησ. 66:9:Jehovah said: ‘I told them what to expect, but they failed to remember [My words]. For, {Look!} I made the one who gives birth, as well as the one who is sterile.’ And your God says:
Ησ. 66:12:Jehovah said: ‘{Look!} Toward them I’ll divert a river of peace, and they’ll be covered with the glory of the nations.
Ησ. 66:14:You’ll see it and rejoice in your heart and your bones… as in a pasture I’ll raise you. It will be seen as coming from the hand of Jehovah, by all of those fearing Him… and He will threaten all those, who would resist His persuasion.’
Ησ. 66:15:For, {Look!} Jehovah will come like a fire… as a blast from his chariot wheels in His rage, to pay back and punish in flames, all those who’ve rejected [Him] in contempt.
Ησ. 66:17:those who were cleansed in [their sacred] gardens, and those who ate pork on their thresholds (the disgusting things and the mouse)… together they’ll all be consumed,’ said Jehovah.
Ησ. 66:20:And then as a gift to the Lord, I’ll return your brothers from the nations, along with horses and wagons, and royal chariots with awnings drawn by mules.’ And Jehovah said: ‘Then the sons of Israel will sacrifice to Me, with songs in the [Temple] of Jehovah.
Ησ. 66:21:And I’ll choose Levites and Priests from among them,’ said Jehovah.
Ησ. 66:22:For, a new earth and sky are waiting before Me,’ says Jehovah. ‘So, I will establish your seed and your name.
Ησ. 66:23:Then from New Moon to New Moon, and from Sabbath to Sabbath, in Jerusalem all flesh will come bow before Me,’ said Jehovah.
Ιερ. 1:4:The word of Jehovah came to me saying,
Ιερ. 1:8:Don’t be afraid when you go before them, for I am with you and I’ll save you,’ said Jehovah.
Ιερ. 1:11:And thereafter, the word of Jehovah came to me asking, ‘What do you see, JeremiJah?’ And I said, ‘I see a [hard] walnut rod.’
Ιερ. 1:13:Then the word of Jehovah came to me a second time asking, ‘Now, what do you see?’ And I replied, ‘A kettle on a fire with its front facing north.’
Ιερ. 1:15:For, {Look!} I will gather kingdoms from the north,’ says Jehovah. ‘Then they will come and they’ll each place their thrones, on the thresholds of Jerusalem’s gates, and on the walls of the cities around Judah.
Ιερ. 1:17:‘So, you must arise and wrap up your waist, and tell them all I’ll instruct you to say! Don’t be afraid when you go there, nor be in terror before them, for I’m with you and I will [protect] you,’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 1:19:And though they will wage war against you, there’s no way that they’ll be able to beat you, for I am with you and I will [protect[ you,’ said Jehovah.
Ιερ. 2:2:‘Go and yell in Jerusalem’s ears… tell them that thus says Jehovah: I remembered the mercy you had in your youth, and the love that you had for perfection; for you followed the Holy One of Israel,’ says Jehovah. Israel’s Holy Lord.
Ιερ. 2:3:‘And since the beginning He’s been offended, by those who devour His offspring, and He has brought evil upon them,’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 2:5:For, Jehovah asks this: ‘What defect did your fathers find in Me, that they left to follow foolish things, and to do things that were silly?
Ιερ. 2:6:They didn’t ask Where’s Jehovah; He who led us from Egypt… He who gave us directions in the desert, through a vast unwalked land… a land without water or fruit… a land through which no one had traveled… a land where no man could live?
Ιερ. 2:8:‘But the Priests did not ask Where’s Jehovah? So those who resisted the Law, were not drawn back to Me. Your shepherds were irreverent before Me; your prophets prophesied by Baal; and you followed after things that were worthless!
Ιερ. 2:9:‘But, despite all of this I chose you,’ says Jehovah, ‘and the sons of your sons I [accepted].’
Ιερ. 2:12:‘By this the heavens were amazed, and [it caused them to] shudder,’ says Jehovah. ‘For to Me, My people did two wicked things:
Ιερ. 2:17:didn’t this happen because you left Me?’ asks Jehovah your God.
Ιερ. 2:19:‘So, for your defection you’ll be corrected… for your evil ways you’ll be scolded, and then you will know and you’ll see, how bitter are the ways of turning from Me,’ says Jehovah your God!
Ιερ. 2:20:‘So, I’ve thought [poorly] of you,’ says Jehovah your God. ‘For, through the ages you’ve broken your yoke, and ripped up all of your bonds. You said, I won’t be [Your] servant, but I will go to every high hill, and beneath every shade tree, and there I’ll do all my whoring!
Ιερ. 2:22:Why, if would wash in [puee] lye, and if you’d use plenty of soap, you’d still be spotted in your sins before Me,’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 2:29:So, why are you speaking to Me? ‘You’ve all been irreverent and lawless toward Me,’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 2:31:Hear the word of the Lord! For, it is Jehovah who asks: ‘Am I a desert to Israel… a land that has been made barren? Why have My people said You’re not our Lord, and no longer will we come in before You?
Ιερ. 2:37:You’ll be taken from here with your hands on your heads, for Jehovah has thrust you away, and none of your hopes will now prosper.’
Ιερ. 3:1:‘If a husband [divorces] his wife, and she leaves and [marries] another, and then she [also leaves him]; can she return [to first one] again… for after being defiled, is she not still defiled? Yet, after [having sex] with many shepherds, you then turn back to Me,’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 3:12:So, go and read these words toward the north! Say: Return to Me house of Israel, says Jehovah, and I’ll not set My face against you, because I am merciful, says Jehovah; and I won’t be outraged with you through the age.
Ιερ. 3:13:Just be aware of your sins! For, you’ve been irreverent toward Jehovah your God… [your love] you’ve given to strangers, beneath every tree in the woods, and you did not obey My voice, says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 3:14:So return, you sons who’ve revolted, says Jehovah, and I will then be your Lord. I’ll choose one of you from each city, and two from out of each family. Then I will bring them to Zion,
Ιερ. 3:16:And if you grow and spread through the land, says Jehovah; in those days they will no longer speak, of Israel’s Holy Chest of the Sacred Agreement… It won’t come into their hearts… it won’t be named or examined… this just won’t be done anymore!
Ιερ. 3:17:For, in those days and during that time, Jerusalem will be called the throne of Jehovah, and there all the nations will gather, and no longer follow wicked thoughts of their hearts.’
Ιερ. 3:20:‘But as a wife leaves [her husband], so the house of Israel has left Me,’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 3:22:‘Turn back, O sons… turn back and I’ll heal your broken condition!’ ‘Look… that’s how we will be with You then, for You are Jehovah our God!
Ιερ. 3:23:Since the powers of the hills and the mountains, are really the powers of Jehovah, and our God is Israel’s Savior.
Ιερ. 3:25:For, we went to bed in our shame, and we were covered by our dishonor; before our God we had sinned, as had also our fathers, from the time of our youth to this day. And we have paid no attention, to the voice of Jehovah our God.
Ιερ. 4:1:‘If Israel should [choose to] return,’ says Jehovah, ‘to him I’ll also return… if the disgusting things in his mouth he’ll remove, and if he will [bow and] show reverence before Me,
Ιερ. 4:2:and swear with an oath that Jehovah’s alive, then he will be blest with the truth, as well as equity and justice. All the nations will praise him, and in Jerusalem all will praise God.’
Ιερ. 4:3:For, to the men of Jerusalem and Judah, Jehovah gives these instructions: ‘Plow the fields you’ve prepared for the plow, and don’t plant among the thorn bushes!
Ιερ. 4:8:Because of this put on sackcloth, then be sad and call out, because the anger and rage of Jehovah, will not be diverted from you.
Ιερ. 4:9:‘And it will be in that day,’ says Jehovah, ‘that there’ll be no heart in the king; the hearts of the rulers and Priests will be shocked, and all of the prophets will wonder.’
Ιερ. 4:17:They’ll [camp] all around her and guard her fields, for I’ve been neglected by you,’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 4:25:I looked and saw that no man existed, and the birds in the sky were frightened away. I observed and saw that Carmel was bare, and all the cities were burning… set on fire by the face of Jehovah.
Ιερ. 4:27:Then Jehovah said: ‘The whole land will soon become desolation, but no way will I totally destroy it.
Ιερ. 5:1:‘Run through Jerusalem’s streets… seek and search in her squares! See if you’ll find a man who is just… a single man who can be trusted, then to him I will be kind,’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 5:2:As Jehovah lives they often say, but when they swear oaths aren’t they lying?’
Ιερ. 5:5:So, I’ll go and speak to those who are [rich], for they’ll recognize the ways of Jehovah, and the equity of God.’ But look! Together they’ve broken their yokes, and they’ve torn up their bonds.
Ιερ. 5:9:So, over such things, shouldn’t I now come to visit?’ asks Jehovah. ‘Over such a [bad] nation, shouldn’t My soul take its vengeance?
Ιερ. 5:10:‘So, climb upon her battle towers, then wipe them to the ground ‘til they’re gone… but you’re not the ones who will do it! Destroy all of her supports, because they didn’t come from Jehovah!
Ιερ. 5:11:For they have shown no respect,’ says Jehovah, ‘both the houses of Israel and Judah.
Ιερ. 5:13:For, [His] Prophets are really all windbags, and they don’t [speak] the word of Jehovah, so this will happen to them, not to us!’
Ιερ. 5:14:‘It’s because of this,’ says Jehovah the Almighty; ‘because you have said all these things, {Look!} I’ve put My words like fire in your mouths, and it will consume you as though you were wood.
Ιερ. 5:15:‘Notice, O house of Israel! From a distance I’m bringing a nation against you,’ says Jehovah, ‘with a tongue you won’t understand…
Ιερ. 5:18:And it will be in those days,’ says Jehovah; ‘your God won’t allow you to reach your fulfillment.
Ιερ. 5:19:‘Then whenever you ask, Why has our God allowed this to be? Jehovah will give this reply: It is because you have left Me, and served strange gods in your land. So, now you will have to serve strangers, in a land that’s not yours.’
Ιερ. 5:22:Why do you fail to fear Me,’ asks Jehovah, ‘and before My face bow down to the ground? For, it is I who ordered the sands, to be the limits of the seas… it is the order of ages, that the seas cannot pass over them. Though they are disturbed they cannot prevail. And no matter how much their waves roar, they may not pass by [their limits].
Ιερ. 5:24:They have not said in their hearts, We should fear Jehovah our God… He who gives rain in its seasons (both the early and late rains), and who orders full harvests for us.
Ιερ. 5:29:‘Am I not watching such things,’ asks Jehovah? ‘And against such a nation won’t My soul soon bring vengeance?
Ιερ. 6:6:For, thus says Jehovah of Armies: ‘Cut down all of her trees! Against the city of liars send your forces… finish your tyranny against her!
Ιερ. 6:9:For, thus says Jehovah of Armies: ‘Glean… glean as though they are grapevines, all the remaining of Israel! Return as the picker returns to his [vines]!
Ιερ. 6:10:‘To whom should I speak… whom shall I tell that will listen? {Look!} They have uncircumcised ears, thus they are unable to hear. {Look!} The word of Jehovah is scornful to them, so they’ll be unwilling to listen.
Ιερ. 6:12:Then their houses will be given to others, along with their fields and their wives. For, I’ll stretch out My hand ‘gainst all in this land,’ says Jehovah
Ιερ. 6:15:‘They’ll now be shamed because they have failed. But, though they’re disgraced, in [their error], they’ll refuse to accept their dishonor. And because of this they will fall… they will perish in the time of their visitation,’ said Jehovah.
Ιερ. 6:21:And because of this,’ says Jehovah, ‘{Look!} upon these people I will bring weakness. Fathers and sons will be weak, and their neighbors and near ones will perish.’
Ιερ. 6:22:And Jehovah said: ‘{Look!} From the north there now comes a people, who’ll awaken the nations to the ends of the earth;
Ιερ. 7:1:Then the word of the Lord came to JeremiJah saying, ‘Stand on the gate of Jehovah’s [Temple], and then to them read these words. Say,
Ιερ. 7:2:O Judea; Hear the word of Jehovah, for Jehovah of Armies (Israel’s God) has said this:
Ιερ. 7:4:Do not rely on words that are lies, for they’ll be no help when you shout, O the Temple of Jehovah! This is the Temple of Jehovah!
Ιερ. 7:11:‘Hasn’t My House that stands here before you (which is called by My Name), become a den of just thieves? Look, I’ve seen it,’ says Jehovah!
Ιερ. 7:19:Don’t they provoke Me to anger?’ asks Jehovah. ‘Shouldn’t they instead be provoked, by the disgrace to their own faces?
Ιερ. 7:20:‘It’s because of this,’ says Jehovah, ‘{Look!} I’ll pour out My anger and rage on this Place – upon the men and the cattle; upon every tree in the fields; and upon the produce of the land – it has now been kindled and won’t be put out!’
Ιερ. 7:21:Jehovah said: ‘Gather your whole burnt-offerings, along with your other sacrifices, and then go ahead and eat all the meats!
Ιερ. 7:29:So, shear your [hair] and throw it away, then bring sounds of wailing to you lips; for Jehovah has rejected and pushed you away… you the generation that has done all these things!
Ιερ. 7:30:‘The sons of Judah have been wicked before Me,’ says Jehovah. ‘They’ve placed disgusting things in My [Temple], to defile the Place that is called by My Name.
Ιερ. 7:32:‘{Look!} It’s because of this that the days have now come,’ says Jehovah, ‘when there in the Valley of Hinnom’s sons, and in the Shrine that they [built to] Topheth, nothing more will be said; for their valley will soon be destroyed, and they’ll [bury] Topheth in a tomb, for his place will no longer exist.
Ιερ. 8:1:‘In that time,’ says Jehovah, ‘they’ll bring out the bones of Judea’s kings, as well as the bones of its other rulers… the bones of the Priests and the Prophets, and the bones from the people of Jerusalem’s graves.
Ιερ. 8:4:‘Will those who fall then be resurrected,’ asks Jehovah, ‘or will those who have turned not return?
Ιερ. 8:7:‘Why, the stork in the sky knows her time, as do the doves and swallows in the fields. Even sparrows guard the times of their comings, but My people do not understand, the judgments [that come from] Jehovah.
Ιερ. 8:8:So, how can you say We are wise, and we have the Law of Jehovah? Why, the lies of the quills of the scribes are in vain!
Ιερ. 8:12:By the disgusting things that they’ve done, they have brought shame on themselves, yet they weren’t ashamed of their shame… they refused to know any shame. And because of this they will fall, among all of those who will fall. ‘In the time of My visit they’ll fall,’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 8:19:Look! There are the sounds of the cries, of the daughters of My people, coming from a far-away land: Isn’t Jehovah there upon Zion, and isn’t there also a king? But they’ve provoked Me to rage, with their carvings of idols, and by following strange worthless things.’
Ιερ. 9:3:‘Their tongues are stretched tight like bows, as lies and mistrust now grow in the land, for they chase after evil upon evil… they do not know Me’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 9:6:They’re compiling interest on interest, as well as treachery on treachery, for they do not wish to behold Me,’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 9:7:‘Because of this,’ says Jehovah of Armies: ‘{Look!} I’ll try them, then set them on fire! For, what else can I do before the face, of the wickedness of the daughter of My people?
Ιερ. 9:9:Shouldn’t I pay them a visit for this,’ asks Jehovah, ‘and upon them bring all My vengeance?’
Ιερ. 9:12:So, who is the man that’s discerning? Let him recognize this, and may the words from the mouth of Jehovah be with him… let him tell you the reasons, why the land is being destroyed! It’s being burned into a desert, so no one will go there again.’
Ιερ. 9:15:on account of this,’ says Israel’s God (Jehovah of Armies is His Name), ‘{Look!} I will now feed them distress, and make them drink bile for their water.
Ιερ. 9:17:Then Jehovah said: ‘Call wailing women and tell them to come; send for wise women and tell them to speak,
Ιερ. 9:23:Jehovah said: ‘Don’t let the wise boast of their wisdom, or the strong boast of their strength; and don’t let the rich boast of their wealth!
Ιερ. 9:24:But when they boast, let them brag about this: That they perceive Me and know Me… that they know I am merciful and fair… that I will judge and bring justice to the land… and these things being done are My will,’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 9:25:‘Look! The days are coming,’ says Jehovah, ‘when I will visit the uncircumcised, as well as those who [are called] circumcised
Ιερ. 10:1:O house of Israel; Hear the words that Jehovah has spoken:
Ιερ. 10:12:For, Jehovah is the One who made the earth, and by His strength He erected man’s home. Then in intelligence and wisdom He stretched out the sky,
Ιερ. 10:16:But, this isn’t the portion of Jacob, for He who shaped everything (even Israel’s inheritance and scepter), is named Jehovah of Armies!
Ιερ. 10:18:It is also Jehovah who says, ‘{Look!} I’ll stumble all those who live in this land, and squeeze them out so all [is not lost].
Ιερ. 10:21:For, the shepherds were truly unwise, and they had failed to seek Jehovah, so the sheep in their pastures were scattered and confused.’
Ιερ. 11:1:These words came to JeremiJah from Jehovah. He said,
Ιερ. 11:3:Tell them that Jehovah the God of Israel says, Cursed is the man who pays no regard, to the words of this Agreement that I gave to your fathers, on the day that I led them from Egypt… from out of that furnace of iron.
Ιερ. 11:11:And because of this, says Jehovah, {Look!} I will bring evil upon them, which they’ll be unable to remove from themselves.Then they will start to cry out, but I will not listen to them.
Ιερ. 11:17:For, Jehovah of Armies did the planting… He against whom you spoke evil. So, to the houses of Israel and Judah came evil… but they did it to themselves by provoking My rage… by their burning incense to Baal.’
Ιερ. 11:20:‘O Jehovah of Armies; please judge all these things in fairness… try their kidneys and hearts! May I behold Your punishment on them, for I’ve shown You the right things I’ve done.’
Ιερ. 11:21:It was because of this that Jehovah then replied concerning the men of AnathOth who were seeking my life… for they were the ones who were saying, ‘No longer should you prophecy in the Name of the Lord. And if you fail to agree, you will die by our hands!’
Ιερ. 11:22:Because of this, Jehovah of Armies then said, ‘Look! I’ll pay a visit on them, so all their young men will die by the sword, and their sons and daughters will starve.
Ιερ. 12:12:Through every mountain pass in that desert, came those who caused misery… those whom the sword of Jehovah will devour, from one end of the land to the other… no, there’ll be no peace for all flesh.
Ιερ. 12:13:‘You planted wheat and thorn-bushes [grew], which provided no benefit at all. So, be ashamed of all your proud words, and for speaking such scorn to Jehovah!’
Ιερ. 12:16:‘And if My people should learn the right way, then swear their oaths by My Name and say, As Jehovah lives (as they taught My people to swear by Baal), then they’ll build houses among My people.
Ιερ. 12:17:But if they choose not to return, I will lift that nation away… I’ll remove them [from the land] and destroy them,’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 13:3:Then the word of Jehovah came to me a second time saying: ‘Now take off the loincloth (the one that you’ve wrapped ‘round your loins),
Ιερ. 13:5:So, I went and hid it by the EuPhrates, as Jehovah had told me to do.
Ιερ. 13:9:‘Thus says Jehovah: Like this I’ll corrupt the insolence of Judah, as well as the insolence of Jerusalem…
Ιερ. 13:11:For, just as this cloth hugs the loins of a man, I have stuck by the houses of Israel and Judah, says Jehovah. ‘They’d have been a famous people to Me, and a reason for boasting and glory… but they paid no attention to Me.
Ιερ. 13:12:So, speak these words to those people: Thus says Jehovah, Israel’s God: All your leather bags will be filled up with wine! And when they ask you: Do you think we don’t know that our leather bags, will be filled up with wine, that you have said this to us?
Ιερ. 13:13:‘You must tell them that thus says Jehovah: {Look!} With strong drink I will fill, all who live in this land… their kings (the sons of David) who sit on their thrones… their priests, their prophets, and all those in Judah, as well as all those in Jerusalem.
Ιερ. 13:14:Then I will disperse them; each man will be separated from his brother, and fathers will be separated from their sons… and I will not miss them, says Jehovah. I won’t spare them or pity their ruin.’
Ιερ. 13:16:‘Give glory to Jehovah your God!
Ιερ. 13:17:And if you should choose not to listen, you will weep in secret (because of your pride), and there your eyes will shed tears, for the scattering of the flock of Jehovah.
Ιερ. 13:25:Yes, this is your portion and lot, because of the ways you’ve opposed Me, says Jehovah. For, you forgot Me and put hope in lies.
Ιερ. 14:1:Then the word of Jehovah came to JeremiJah concerning the drought.
Ιερ. 14:15:‘Because of this,’ says Jehovah, ‘tell those who prophecy falsely in My Name (those who I didn’t send): [You say] sword and famine won’t come to this land, so you prophets will die by diseases, and I’ll finish what’s left by starvation!
Ιερ. 14:22:Which idol of the nations can bring rain… who can bring its fullness from the skies? Is it not You [O great] Being… [isn’t it You], Jehovah our God? So, we will wait upon You, for it’s You who created these things!
Ιερ. 15:2:Then if they ask, Where will we go? You should tell them that thus says Jehovah: As many as are [appointed for] death, [are the number of those who] will die; as many as are [appointed] to the sword, are those [who will die by] the sword; as many as are [appointed] to famine, are those [who will die from] the famine; and as many as are [appointed] as captives, are those who’ll [be taken as] captives.
Ιερ. 15:3:Jehovah said, ‘I will take vengeance in four different ways: · To be slaughtered by the sword; · To be torn to pieces by dogs; · To serve as food for wild beasts of the land; · To be rotting flesh for the birds in the sky.
Ιερ. 15:5:‘Who will spare you, O Jerusalem, and who will be timid against you? Who will come saying Peace unto you? For, you have turned [your backs] upon Me,’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 15:9:Then she who bore seven will have none, for her life will meet with misfortune, and her sun will set at midday. She’ll be disgraced and berated, and I’ll give what is left to the sword,’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 15:11:May it be, O Jehovah Almighty, for no help will come in their time of affliction, and from their enemies no good will come.
Ιερ. 15:16:by those who disregard Your words. Finish them off completely, and then Your words will bring joy to my heart. For, O Jehovah the Almighty; I have been called by Your Name!
Ιερ. 15:20:For, to these people I’ll appoint you, to be a fortified wall made of brass. And though they’ll wage war against you, they’ll be unable to beat you, because I will be there to save you… I’ll rescue you, says [Jehovah]. I’ll deliver you from the hands of the wicked, and buy you out of the hands, of these men who are cursed.
Ιερ. 16:3:For, thus says Jehovah about the sons and the daughters, of those being fathered in this place, and concerning the mothers who give birth, and those who are fathers in this land:
Ιερ. 16:9:for thus says Jehovah Israel’s God: {Look!} Before your eyes I’ll remove them, and during your [life this will happen]. For, the sounds of joy and gladness [will be gone], as well as the voices of brides and grooms.
Ιερ. 16:10:‘When you tell these things to the people, they’ll ask: Why has Jehovah pronounced these bad things, for what injustice have we done… how have we sinned before our God Jehovah?
Ιερ. 16:11:‘And you must reply: It’s because I’ve been abandoned by your fathers, says Jehovah; for they followed strange gods… they bowed before them and served them… they abandoned Me and kept not My Laws…
Ιερ. 16:14:Because of this, days will come, says Jehovah, that they will still say As Jehovah lives (He who led Israel out of Egypt).
Ιερ. 16:15:But then they will also be saying, As Jehovah lives (He who led the house of Israel back, from the land of the north, and from all the places where they were taken). For, I will restore them to their land… [the land] that I gave to their fathers.
Ιερ. 16:16:{Look!} To them I will send men who fish, says Jehovah, and they will go fishing for them. And I will send many hunters, who’ll hunt for them on the mountains and hills, and in the holes in the rocks.
Ιερ. 16:21:‘{Look!} Because of this I will show them My hand… in that time I’ll show them My strength. Then they will know that My Name is Jehovah.’
Ιερ. 17:1:Thus says Jehovah: ‘The sins of Judah are being written, with a stylus of iron. They’re clawed in the tablets of their hearts, and upon the horns of their altars.
Ιερ. 17:5:Thus says Jehovah: ‘Cursed is the man who has hope, for though his flesh is still on his arms, his heart is far from Jehovah.
Ιερ. 17:7:‘But praised is the man who relies on the Lord, and puts all his hope in Jehovah.
Ιερ. 17:10:But, I Jehovah, am the examiner of hearts, as well as the One who tries kidneys, and I repay each one for his ways… by the fruits of the things he has done.
Ιερ. 17:15:{Look!}They ask: ‘Where is this word of Jehovah? Let it come and happen [to us]!’
Ιερ. 17:20:then say, O kings of Judah, and you of Judea and Jerusalem; Hear the word of Jehovah, all you who enter these gates!
Ιερ. 17:21:For, Jehovah said this: Save your lives… don’t lift burdens on the Sabbath… carry nothing through Jerusalem’s gates…
Ιερ. 17:26:And at that time [the people] will come, from the city of Jerusalem and from Judea… from the land of BenJamin they’ll also come, and from the mountains and fields in the south, bringing along their burnt-offerings, as well as incense and sacrifices, and offerings of thanks and frankincense, to offer praise at the House of Jehovah.
Ιερ. 18:1:This message came to JeremiJah from Jehovah.
Ιερ. 18:6:Jehovah asks: O house of Israel; Can I not remake you in the same way, as the potter just [remade this pot]? {Look!} As clay in the hands of a potter, that’s what you are in My hands, house of Israel.
Ιερ. 18:11:‘Now, say this to the men of Judea, and to those who live in Jerusalem… tell them that thus says Jehovah: {Look!} I will shape bad things against you, and devise against you a plot, unless you turn from your evil ways, and change your bad ways to good!’
Ιερ. 19:3:Say, Hear the word of Jehovah, O kings of Judah and those who live in Jerusalem, for Jehovah of Armies, the God of Israel says this: {Look!} I am bringing such evil to this place, it’ll ring in the ears of all those who hear it.
Ιερ. 19:6:Because of this, days will come,’ says Jehovah, ‘when they’ll not call this [The Valley] anymore, or the graveyard of Hinnom’s descendants; it will be called The Graveyard of Slaughter,
Ιερ. 19:11:And tell them that thus says Jehovah: This is how I will do it; I’ll break these people and their city like this pot, so none can thereafter repair it. They’ll be buried here in this place, where [they play] tambourines… and there’ll be no other place to be buried.
Ιερ. 19:12:Jehovah says, This is what I will do to this place, and to all those who live here: I’ll give up this city as something that’s ruined;
Ιερ. 19:14:Then JeremiJah left [the valley] where Jehovah had sent him to prophesy, and he stood in the courtyard of the [Temple] of Jehovah and said this to all the people: ‘Thus says Jehovah of Armies (the God of Israel): {Look!} I’ll bring calamity on this city, and upon all her cities and towns, all the evils that I spoke against her, for you have hardened your necks, and you don’t listen to what I’ve commanded.’
Ιερ. 20:1:Well, when Pashur, the son of ImMer the Priest (who had been anointed as the leader of the House of Jehovah) heard what JeremiJah was prophesying,
Ιερ. 20:2:he struck him and then threw him in the dungeon that was by the upper Gate of the House of BenJamin (inside the [Temple area] of Jehovah).
Ιερ. 20:3:Then the next morning, Pashur led JeremiJah out of the dungeon, and JeremiJah said to him, ‘Jehovah will not call your name Pashur, but Refugee.
Ιερ. 20:4:For Jehovah says: {Look!} I’ll hand over you and your friends, to be relocated [from here]. Then they will fall by their enemy’s swords, and your eyes will see it all happen. For, I will give Judah into to the hands of Babylon’s king, then he will displace them, and cut them to pieces with swords.
Ιερ. 20:8:So, I’ll laugh at the bitterness [within my heart], And I’ll call for rebellion and misery. For the word of Jehovah brought scorn upon me, And a reason for taunting each day.
Ιερ. 20:9:Then I said: ‘There’s no way that I’ll [speak of] Jehovah; There’s no way that I’ll still speak in His Name.’ But it became like a fire, that burned and blazed in my bones, And I became weak on my insides, to where I was unable to bear it.
Ιερ. 20:11:But Jehovah is with me, as a warrior bringing strength, And because of this, they chased me in vain. Though they were shamed, they failed to see their dishonor, Which through the ages will not be forgotten.
Ιερ. 20:13:So, sing to Jehovah and praise Him, For He has rescued the lives of the poor, From the hands of those who have power!
Ιερ. 20:16:May that man be as unrepented cities, Which are then destroyed by Jehovah! Let Him hear their cries in the mornings, And [may He hear] shouting at noon!
Ιερ. 21:1:These are the words that came to JeremiJah from Jehovah when King ZedekiJah sent Pashur (the son of MelchiJah), and ZephaniJah (the son of MaAseJah) the Priest to him.
Ιερ. 21:2:[For they had] said, ‘Ask the Lord for us, because the king of Babylon has [set up camp] around us. [Ask] if Jehovah will perform His wonders and send that king away from us.’
Ιερ. 21:3:And Jehovah said to JeremiJah, ‘Tell ZedekiJah that; I’ll turn back the weapons of warfare in his hands, which he’s using in order to wage war, against the Chaldeans that oppress him, and who are outside of his walls;
Ιερ. 21:7:‘And then,’ said Jehovah, ‘I’ll hand overJudah’s King ZedekiJah, as well as his servants and the people of the city, who survive death from the famine, and the swords in the hands of those seeking their lives. Then they’ll cut them to pieces by the mouth of the sword… I will not spare them and I’ll feel no pity.
Ιερ. 21:8:‘Then speak to these people and tell them; tell them that thus says Jehovah: {Look!} Before your faces I’ve put life and death.
Ιερ. 21:10:For against this city I’ve set My face, to do just bad things not good, says Jehovah. It’s going to be handed to Babylon’s king, and he will burn it with fire.’
Ιερ. 21:11:O house of the king of Judah; Hear the word of Jehovah!
Ιερ. 21:12:O house of David; Jehovah [our God has] said this: ‘In the morning, you should discuss the judgment upon you, and then get yourselves straightened out. Rescue those being shredded, from the hands of those who are doing them wrong! Don’t let My anger be lit like a fire, for once it has been kindled, no one will be there to put it out!
Ιερ. 22:2:Say: Hear the word of Jehovah, king of Judah, you who are sitting on David’s throne… you, as well as your servants, and your people who enter these gates!
Ιερ. 22:3:Jehovah says: You must be fair and just, and rescue those being plundered, from the hands of those who are doing them wrong! Don’t tyrannize foreigners, orphans, or widows! No more should you be irreverent, and don’t shed innocent blood in this place!
Ιερ. 22:5:If you don’t pay attention to these words, I swear an oath by Myself, says Jehovah: I’ll make this house a desolation!’
Ιερ. 22:6:And Jehovah said this against the [palace] of the king of Judah: ‘You are Gilead to Me; You are Lebanon’s head. So, should I not wipe you away, and leave your cities deserted?
Ιερ. 22:9:And the other will reply, Because they abandoned the Sacred Agreement of Jehovah their God, then they bowed to strange gods and served them.
Ιερ. 22:11:Jehovah has spoken against ShalLum, the son of JosiJah (the king of Judah), who reigned for his father (JosiJah), and who [was taken] away from this place. He said: ‘He won’t return here again,
Ιερ. 22:16:Yet they didn’t know, that they failed to judge the humble in fairness, and to give justice to the needy! Was this because you didn’t know Me,’ asks Jehovah?
Ιερ. 22:18:And because of this,’ says Jehovah, against JehoiAkim (son of JosiJah) king of Judah; ‘Woe [is coming to] this man, and no way should they ever feel sorry, and say of him, O my brother! For him they won’t weep and say, Alas for you O my Lord!
Ιερ. 22:24:‘As I live,’ says Jehovah; ‘ConiJah (the son of JehoiAkim) king of Judah, will become a seal on My right hand, and it’s from there that I’ll pluck you out.
Ιερ. 22:29:O land, hear the word of Jehovah
Ιερ. 23:1:O you shepherds who scatter; you who’re destroying the sheep of my pasture; Jehovah (the God of Israel) has made [this pronouncement], against the shepherds who are tending His people:
Ιερ. 23:4:Then I will raise shepherds to tend them, so they won’t fear or know terror anymore, nor will they be searched for [again],’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 23:5:‘Look! The days are coming,’ says Jehovah, ‘when I’ll bring a righteous dawning to David, and an understanding king will then reign, who’ll bring fairness and righteousness to the land.
Ιερ. 23:6:And during his days, Judah will be saved, and Israel will camp in submission. Then by Jehovah, he’ll be called JoSedek (Jehovah is Our Righteousness).’
Ιερ. 23:7:‘And because of this {Look!} days will come,’ says Jehovah, ‘when they will no longer be saying: As Jehovah (who led Israel out of Egypt) lives,
Ιερ. 23:8:but, As Jehovah (who gathered and led Israel’s seed from northern lands, and from everywhere they had been pushed to, and restored them to their own land) lives.
Ιερ. 23:9:Their prophets have broken my heart. All my bones were shaken within me. I became like a man who is broken, and as one who has had too much wine, before the face of Jehovah… from before the face of the beauty of His glory.
Ιερ. 23:11:and their priests and their prophets are tainted. ‘I saw their wickedness in My [Temple],’ says Jehovah,
Ιερ. 23:12:‘so I allowed them to slip into darkness, where they will stumble and fall! For, in the year that I visit, I will bring bad things upon them,’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 23:15:Because of this, thus says Jehovah of Armies, to [all of those] prophets: {Look!} I will feed them on grief, and give them bitter water to drink. For, Jerusalem’s prophets have brought, contamination upon the whole land.’
Ιερ. 23:16:Thus says Jehovah the Almighty: ‘Do not listen to the words of the prophets… those who prophesy to you. For, upon themselves they bring foolishness, by the visions [they proclaim], because they just speak from their hearts, not from the mouth of Jehovah.
Ιερ. 23:19:{Look!} A shaking will come from Jehovah… His anger will come as a rumble, then a tornado will come to the godless.
Ιερ. 23:20:Yet, this won’t turn the rage of Jehovah, until His heart is satisfied. And they won’t comprehend ‘til the end of their days.
Ιερ. 23:23:‘I am a God who is near,’ says Jehovah! ‘I’m not a God who is far away.
Ιερ. 23:24:So, what can be hidden [from Me]… what is the secret that I cannot see,’ asks Jehovah? ‘Can I not fill the heavens and earth,’ asks Jehovah?
Ιερ. 23:28:‘Let those dreaming prophets describe all their dreams! And let those who say that they have My word, describe what I’ve really said! ‘As straw is to grain, thus are My words,’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 23:31:Look! I’m against all those prophets,’ says Jehovah; ‘those who throw prophecies from their tongues, while all they really did was slumber and sleep.
Ιερ. 23:32:Look! I’m against all those prophets, those who prophesy with false dreams. For, those who describe them mislead My people, with all their lies and delusions. ‘I didn’t send them, and I didn’t tell them to do this. So, they’ve brought nothing at all to these people,’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 23:33:‘And if you are asked by these people, or by a priest or a prophet, What is Jehovah concerned with? You must answer; You’re My concern for I’ll beat you down, says Jehovah,
Ιερ. 23:34:along with the prophets, the priests, and the people… those who you say are Jehovah’s concern. For, I’ll punish that man and his house.
Ιερ. 23:35:‘Then each one will ask of his neighbor, as well as each man of his brother: What did Jehovah reply? What did Jehovah [truly] say?
Ιερ. 23:36:But, don’t ask of the concerns of Jehovah again! For, what He has said will be man’s concern.
Ιερ. 23:37:‘The words of God you’ve distorted, so when you ask of the prophets, What was said by Jehovah our God…
Ιερ. 23:38:because you’ve spoken these words once again; the concerns of Jehovah are what I will send upon you. For I said: Don’t ask of the concerns of Jehovah again!
Ιερ. 24:1:After NebuChadNezzar (the king of Babylon) had taken JeconiJah (the son of JehoiAkim) the king of Judah and the governors from Jerusalem as prisoners and led them into Babylon, Jehovah showed me two reed baskets of figs sitting before the Temple of Jehovah.
Ιερ. 24:3:And Jehovah asked me, ‘What do you see, JeremiJah?’ And I replied, ‘Figs… some that are good, and the others so bad that they can’t be eaten.’
Ιερ. 24:5:Jehovah the God of Israel says this: These figs that are better are how I will view, those Judeans who I’ve sent from this place, to the land of Chaldea.
Ιερ. 24:8:And as for the bad figs that cannot be eaten; because they are rotten, says Jehovah, I’ll hand over ZedekiJah (king of Judah), along with all his great men. Then the rest of those in Jerusalem, and those who remain in this land, as well as those [who go down to] Egypt,
Ιερ. 25:3:He said: ‘From the thirteenth year of JosiJah (son of Amon), who’s been the king of Judah to this day – for [the past] twenty three years – Jehovah’s word has been coming to me. And I’ve been getting up early each day, in order to tell you [just what He said]; However, you would not listen.
Ιερ. 25:4:‘[So, Jehovah said]: At dawn I sent you My servants the Prophets, but you didn’t listen with your ears, nor did you pay close attention.
Ιερ. 25:8:So, because of this, says Jehovahsince you didn’t trust what I said,
Ιερ. 25:12:And when seventy years are fulfilled, upon Babylon’s king, I’ll take vengeance on his wicked nation, for the unrighteous things that they’ve done, says Jehovah, and upon the land of Chaldea… through the ages I’ve appointed extinction.
Ιερ. 25:15:Jehovah the God of Israel says: Take this cup of pure wine from My hand, and give it to the nations where I’ll send you, and offer it to them as their drink.
Ιερ. 25:27:‘And you must tell them that thus Jehovah the Almighty: They must drink and get drunk, and then they will vomit and fall! For, they’ll be unable to stand, before the sword that I’m sending among them!
Ιερ. 25:28:And if they refuse to drink from the cup, you should tell them that Jehovah of Armies has said: [You have no choice] but to drink it,
Ιερ. 25:29:because this affliction has been started already, in the city that carries My Name. And if you should try to make [yourselves] clean, there’s no way that you’ll ever be clean, for I have called for a sword, to come upon the whole earth, says Jehovah of Armies.
Ιερ. 25:30:‘You must speak these words against them and say: From high above in His Holy Place, upon you Jehovah will bring execution… He’ll speak a word with His voice, and against your place He will bring execution. Then those gathering this vintage will say, against all those who have settled on the earth:
Ιερ. 25:31:Part of the earth has been ruined, for this judgment of the nations has come from Jehovah… with all flesh He now is contending, and the irreverent will be given to the sword.
Ιερ. 25:32:Jehovah of Armies says this: {Look!} Evil will come from a nation on nations, and a storm will rage to the ends of the earth.
Ιερ. 25:33:And in that day; From one part of the earth to the other, those who are slain by Jehovah, won’t be lamented, gathered, or buried… they’ll be like manure on the face of the land.
Ιερ. 25:36:There’ll be the sounds of cries from the shepherds, as well as the bleating of rams, as Jehovah wipes out their pastures.
Ιερ. 25:37:‘Peaceful places of rest will no longer be, in the face of the anger and rage of Jehovah. For, He’s like a lion that’s abandoned its lair, and their land will be a place that’s unwalked, in front of His mighty sword.’
Ιερ. 26:1:It was in the beginning of the reign of King JehoiAkim (the son of JosiJah) that this word came from Jehovah. [He] said:
Ιερ. 26:4:‘Now, tell them that Jehovah says this: If you refuse to listen to Me, and obey all the Laws that I’ve set before you… [if you won’t] obey the words of My servants –
Ιερ. 26:7:Well, all the priests, all the false prophets, and all the people heard what JeremiJah said when he spoke those words in the [Temple] of Jehovah.
Ιερ. 26:8:And when he had finished saying all that Jehovah had ordered him to say before all the people, all the priests, and all the false prophets, the people grabbed him and said,
Ιερ. 26:9:‘Now we’re going to kill you, because you’ve prophesied in the Name of the Lord and said that this [Temple] will become like Shiloh and this city will become desolate with no one living in it!’ So, all the people assembled [for a trial] against JeremiJah, there inside the [Temple] of Jehovah.
Ιερ. 26:10:And when the rulers of Judah heard [what he had said], they too went up from the king’s [palace] to the [Temple] of Jehovah, and they sat on the thresholds of the New Gate of Jehovah.
Ιερ. 26:12:And [in reply], JeremiJah said to all the rulers and the people: ‘Why, it was Jehovah who sent me to prophesy all the words that you’ve heard against this [Temple] and this city.
Ιερ. 26:13:So, it’s really better for you to change your works and your ways, and to start listening to the voice of your God Jehovah, and then the Lord will bring an end to the evils that He has spoken against you.
Ιερ. 26:15:But know and understand that if you do away with me, you will have brought the guilt of innocent blood against yourselves, this city, and all those who live here; for it was truly Jehovah who sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears.’
Ιερ. 26:16:Then the rulers and people said to the priests and false prophets: ‘This man doesn’t deserve a sentence of death, for he was speaking in the Name of Jehovah our God!’
Ιερ. 26:18:‘MicAh the Morasthite was a Prophet in the days of HezekiJah the king of Judah, and he spoke to all the people of Judah and told them that Jehovah of Armies said, Zion is like a field to be plowed; Jerusalem will become a storehouse of fruits; and the Temple Mount will be converted, into a grove of sacred poles.
Ιερ. 26:19:Yet, did King HezekiJah and the people of Judah do way with him… weren’t they in fear of Jehovah… didn’t they then beg and bow before [Him]… and didn’t Jehovah thereafter cease from the evils that He had spoken against them? Now, we have [for a fact sinned] in a great way against our own lives.’
Ιερ. 26:20:Well, there was another man who was also prophesying in the Name of Jehovah. This was UriJah the son of ShemaiJah (from Kiriath JaIrim), and he had too had prophesied about this city and land, using the same words as JeremiJah!
Ιερ. 27:1:It was at the beginning of the reign of JehoiAkim (the son of JosiJah) the king of Judah, that this word came to JeremiJah from Jehovah.
Ιερ. 27:4:Order them to say to their Lords, that Jehovah of Armies – the God of Israel – says this:
Ιερ. 27:8:And upon any nation or kingdom, that will not serve NebuChadNezzar – upon any who won’t put his yoke on their necks – I’ll send the sword, plagues, and famine, says Jehovah, until they all yield to his hand.
Ιερ. 27:11:To the nation that puts its neck in the yoke, of Babylon’s king and [willingly] serves him, I’ll allow them to stay in their land, says Jehovah. They will then work there and live there.’
Ιερ. 27:13:Work for him and his people and you’ll live! Why should you and your people all die by the sword, famine, and plagues, as Jehovah told the nations would happen to them if they choose not to serve the king of Babylon?
Ιερ. 27:15:For, Jehovah said: I didn’t send them, yet they’re prophesy unrighteous things in My Name, so as to have Me destroy you… you will perish along with your prophets, who now prophesy lies!’
Ιερ. 27:16:Then I spoke to the priests and to all the people, and told them that Jehovah said: ‘Don’t listen to the words of the prophets when they prophesy and say, {Look!} The items of the [Temple] of Jehovah will soon be returned from Babylon! Because, they’re prophesying unrighteously to you!
Ιερ. 27:18:‘If they are truly Prophets, and if they have the word of Jehovah, then let them come to meet with me, so the things that remain in the [Temple] of Jehovah, as well as in the [palace] of the king of Judah in Jerusalem, don’t end up being carried off into Babylon.
Ιερ. 27:19:Because, Jehovah gave a warning concerning the pillars, the [Sacred] Sea, the bases, and all the other things that were left behind in this city
Ιερ. 27:21:For, Jehovah of Armies, the God of Israel said this concerning the things that were left behind in the [Temple] of Jehovah, and in the [palace] of the king of Judah in Jerusalem:
Ιερ. 28:1:It was in the fifth month of the fourth year of the reign of ZedekiJah (king of Judah) that HananiJah (the son of Azur) the false prophet from Gibeon spoke to me in the [Temple] of Jehovah before the eyes of the priests and all the people. He said:
Ιερ. 28:2:Jehovah of Armies, the God of Israel, spoke to me and said, I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.
Ιερ. 28:3:And in just two more years I will return all things of the [Temple] of Jehovah to this place,
Ιερ. 28:5:Then the Prophet JeremiJah replied to HananiJah, there before the Priests and before the eyes of all people who were standing in the [Temple] of Jehovah:
Ιερ. 28:6:‘May Jehovah for a fact do what you’ve said in your prophecy, by returning the things of the [Temple] of Jehovah, and by returning to this place all those who were taken away to Babylon.
Ιερ. 28:9:and [at the same time] there were also those who prophesied peace. Yet, when it all happens, the [people] will trust whichever of the prophets that was actually sent to them by Jehovah.’
Ιερ. 28:12:But then the word of Jehovah came to JeremiJah (after HananiJah had broken the yoke from his neck), and He said,
Ιερ. 28:13:‘Return and tell HananiJah: Jehovah says that you’ve broken the yoke, but I’ll turn the wooden yokes into iron.
Ιερ. 28:14:For, Jehovah of Armies, the God of Israel says, I’ll put a yoke made of iron, upon the necks of all nations, so they’ll work and serve Babylon’s king; and to him I will give all their cattle.’
Ιερ. 28:15:Then JeremiJah told HananiJah, ‘Listen O HananiJah; Jehovah hasn’t sent you to these people just so they can rely on all the things that they are doing wrong.
Ιερ. 28:16:And because of what you’ve done, Jehovah says: {Look!} I’ll send you away from the face of the earth… this very year you will die, for speaking against Jehovah [your God]!’
Ιερ. 29:4:Jehovah of Armies, the God of Israel says to those who were taken away (those who He resettled from Jerusalem to Babylon):
Ιερ. 29:7:Seek peace in the land where I’ve sent you, and pray to Jehovah on behalf of [the people], for in their peace you’ll find peace!
Ιερ. 29:8:Jehovah of Armies, the God of Israel says: Don’t believe the false prophets among you… don’t be influenced by those, who say that you will have comfort, and don’t pay attention to any dreams that you dream!
Ιερ. 29:9:For, there will be those who come in My Name, and they will prophecy falsely; but I didn’t send them, says Jehovah!
Ιερ. 29:10:Jehovah says: After seventy years are fulfilled upon Babylon, I’ll come visit you and do as I said… I’ll return your people to this place…
Ιερ. 29:16:‘And [Jehovah also spoke of] the king who was sitting on the throne of David, and to all the people who were living in the city… to all your brothers who didn’t leave and weren’t taken into captivity along with you.
Ιερ. 29:17:Jehovah of Armies said: {Look!} I’ll send them the sword, famine, and plague… like a bad fig I will make them… [a fig] that’s too rotten to eat.
Ιερ. 29:19:For, they paid no attention to My words, says Jehovah, that I spoke to them through My servants the Prophets… those who I sent and rose early [each day], but to whom they wouldn’t listen, says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 29:20:But you’ve paid attention to the words of Jehovah… all of you who’ve been moved away… those who I sent from Jerusalem to Babylon.
Ιερ. 29:21:Jehovah also spoke against Ahab (the son of KolaiJah) and ZedekiJah (the son of MaAseJah)… those who were prophesying lies to you in His Name. [He said]: {Look!} To the king of Babylon I’ll hand them, and before your eyes he’ll cut them down.
Ιερ. 29:22:Then; When Judeans in Babylon curse they will say: May Jehovah do the same thing to you, as He did to Ahab and ZedekiJah… who the king of Babylon fried in a fire.
Ιερ. 29:23:But those in Jerusalem are lawless… they’re committing adultery with their countrymen’s wives, and they say things in My Name, that I didn’t tell them to say… so I am the witness [against them], says Jehovah.’
Ιερ. 29:24:Then [Jehovah told me] to say to ShemaiJah the NeHelamite: ‘I didn’t send you in My Name, but you sent a letter to the Priest ZephaniJah, [in which you wrote] that thus says Jehovah:
Ιερ. 29:25:It was I who appointed you Priest, to replace the Priest JehoiAda, and to be in charge of the [Temple] of Jehovah, and to be over each prophet.
Ιερ. 29:31:‘Send [a message] to those who have been relocated. Tell them that Jehovah has brought condemnation, upon ShemaiJah the NeHelamite. He said: Since ShemaiJah has prophesied to you (although I didn’t send him), and he urged you to trust in the things you do wrong…
Ιερ. 29:32:it’s because of this, said Jehovah, that I will visit ShemaiJah and his kind, and there won’t be a man left among them, who will see the good things I’ll do among you, says Jehovah. For, he’s spoken apostasy against the Lord.’
Ιερ. 30:1:These words came to JeremiJah from the Lord. He was told that Jehovah the God of Israel says:
Ιερ. 30:3:For, {Look!} the days are coming,’ says Jehovah, ‘when I’ll return those of Israel and Judah (all who have been relocated),’ said Jehovah, ‘and bring them back to that land, which I gave to their fathers, and they will then be its lords.’
Ιερ. 30:4:Then, these were the words that Jehovah spoke to Israel and Judah:
Ιερ. 30:5:Jehovah says: You will hear sounds of fear… you’ll hear sounds of fear and there’ll be no peace.
Ιερ. 30:8:For Jehovah of Armies says: In that day I will break, all the yokes from their necks; I’ll tear apart all their bonds, and they’ll no longer be toiling for strangers.
Ιερ. 30:9:They’ll work for Jehovah their God, and I will raise David to be their king.
Ιερ. 30:10:But you, O my servant Jacob; don’t be afraid, says Jehovah! O Israel, do not feel terror. For, {Look!} I’ll bring you back from that far away land… I’ll bring your seed from the land where they’re captives. Jacob will be returned and find rest; he’ll have an abundance of good things, and none will have reason to fear,
Ιερ. 30:11:for I am with you to save you,’ says Jehovah. Then I will appoint a conclusion, upon the nations where I scattered you; but there’s no way that I’ll appoint a conclusion for you. Rather, I will correct you in fairness, and I’ll cleanse you until you are clean.’
Ιερ. 30:12:Jehovah said: I’ve removed the painful calamitous destruction,
Ιερ. 30:17:Then I’ll cure all of your grievous wounds… yes, I will treat you, says Jehovah. For Zion will be called The Place That’s Replanted, and no one will [attack] her anymore.
Ιερ. 30:18:Jehovah said: {Look!} I’ll return those of Jacob who’ve been relocated… all who were taken as captives. Then I will show mercy upon them, and rebuild their city in the heights, where the people will be seated according to their fairness.
Ιερ. 30:21:Their leader shall be one of them… their ruler shall come from among them. Then I’ll collect them and bring them to Me (all those who decide in their hearts to return), says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 30:24:For, there’s no way to turn back the anger, or the rage of Jehovah, until He has taken some action… until He does what His heart has decided… and in the last days you will know this.’
Ιερ. 31:1:At that time, Jehovah said: ‘To the race of Israel I’ll be their God, and they’ll be a people to Me.’
Ιερ. 31:2:Then Jehovah said, ‘They found it hot in the desert, when they were destroyed by the sword, but Israel will now find places to rest!
Ιερ. 31:6:For, this is the day of the calling, and on the mountains of EphraIm the watchmen will cry: Get up and climb up Mount Zion, to Jehovah your God!’
Ιερ. 31:7:Then Jehovah said this to Jacob: ‘Be glad and shout to the heads of the nations… do it… shout loudly in praise! Say; Jehovah has delivered His people… those of Israel who still remain!
Ιερ. 31:10:Hear the words of Jehovah, O nations, and announce it to far-away islands. Say, ‘He who once winnowed Israel, will gather them back [to Himself] once again, and then He will guard them as grazing flocks.
Ιερ. 31:11:For, Jehovah’s [paid the] ransom for Jacob, and saved him from hands that were stronger.
Ιερ. 31:14:I’ll magnify the lives of the Priests, and the [the lives of] the sons of Levi. So My people will be filled with My good things.’ Jehovah said:
Ιερ. 31:16:Then Jehovah said: ‘Stop crying and dry the tears from your eyes, for there is a wage for your work… from the land of their enemies they’ll return.
Ιερ. 31:17:Yes, there is still hope for those who remain,’ says Jehovah, ‘for your sons will return to their borders.’
Ιερ. 31:18:I heard EphraIm grieving; I listened and heard what he said: ‘You disciplined me and I was corrected, for I was like a [wild] calf. So, turn me back and I will return, for You are Jehovah my God!
Ιερ. 31:20:‘EphraIm is My very loved son; a child in whom I find joy. And because My words are within him, so I will never forget him. It was because of this that I hurried, for when it comes to showing him mercy, I will show mercy upon him,’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 31:22:O My daughter; When will you turn from disgrace? For, Jehovah has made a new place, where it is safe to do planting, and a place where men can travel in safety.’
Ιερ. 31:23:Jehovah of Armies, the God of Israel said: ‘They will still say these words, in the land of Judah and [in all of] her cities, when I return those who were [taken away]: Praise Jehovah, upon His righteous Holy Mountain,
Ιερ. 31:27:‘{Look!} The days are coming,’ says Jehovah, ‘when I’ll sow both Israel and Judah, with the seed of man and the seed of wild beasts.
Ιερ. 31:28:It’ll be as when I watched over them, [not] when I brought demolition and evil. Over them I will be watchful… I will rebuild and replant,’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 31:31:‘Look… days are coming,’ says Jehovah, ‘when I’ll make an arrangement with Israel’s house, as well as with the house of Judah, and then I’ll conclude a New Sacred Agreement,
Ιερ. 31:32:that’s unlike the Agreement that I made with their fathers, in the day I took hold of their hands, to lead them from Egypt’s land. For, they didn’t keep My Sacred Agreement, so I let them go,’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 31:33:‘This is my Sacred Agreement, which I’ll arrange with Israel in those days,’ says Jehovah: ‘I will write My Laws in their minds and their hearts. Then they’ll be My people and I’ll be their God.
Ιερ. 31:34:There’s no way they will teach their neighbors and brothers, and tell them that they should know Jehovah! For, all will know Me from the small to the great, and I’ll be kind toward their errors and sins… no way will I remember [their sins] anymore.’
Ιερ. 31:35:Thus says Jehovah (who appointed the sun to light the day, and the moon and stars to light the night; the roar of the sea and the sound of its waves; Jehovah the Almighty is His Name):
Ιερ. 31:37:Jehovah says, ‘If the skies can be raised in their height, and the floor of the ground can be lowered, I can reject the race of Israel,’ says Jehovah, ‘for all the things that they’ve done.’
Ιερ. 31:38:‘{Look!} The days are coming,’ says the Lord, ‘when a city will be built to Jehovah. [It will run] from HananeEl Tower, up to the gate at the corner.
Ιερ. 31:39:I’ll measure it out to the hills of Gareb, and surround it with most precious stones… from the Valley of PhagarIm and its ashes, and from AsaRemOth to the Cedar (Kidron) Wadi. From the corner of the Gate of Horses to the east, it’ll be a Holy Place to Jehovah. Never again will it be uprooted; it will not be destroyed through the age.’
Ιερ. 32:1:These words came from Jehovah to JeremiJah in the tenth year [of the reign] of ZedekiJah the king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of [the reign of] of NebuChadNezzar the king of Babylon.
Ιερ. 32:3:for King ZedekiJah had him thrown in jail. [For, the king had asked him], ‘Why did you prophesy and tell us that Jehovah says, {Look!} I will hand this city over to the king of Babylon and he will take it…
Ιερ. 32:8:And thereafter, HanameEl, (the son of ShalLum) my paternal uncle, did what the Lord said he would do. It was there in the courtyard of the guard that he said to me, ‘Acquire my field, the one in AnathOth of the land of BenJamin, because you are the eldest, and it would be advantageous for to acquire it!’ Well, I knew that this was the word of Jehovah,
Ιερ. 32:14:Jehovah, the Almighty God of Israel, says that you should take this scroll that has been sealed and is proof of my ownership, then read it and put it into an earthenware jar, so it will last for many more days.
Ιερ. 32:15:Because, Jehovah of Armies, the God of Israel says, Fields, houses, and vineyards, will again be created in this land.’
Ιερ. 32:16:Then after I gave the deed scroll to BarUch (the son of NeriJah), I prayed to Jehovah, saying,
Ιερ. 32:18:O You who shows mercy to thousands, and repays the sins of the fathers upon the chests of their children that follow; the great and Almighty God; Jehovah of Armies is Your Name …
Ιερ. 32:26:Then the word of Jehovah came to me saying,
Ιερ. 32:27:‘I am Jehovah, the God of all flesh, so [do you think] that such things are hidden from Me?’
Ιερ. 32:28:Then Jehovah said, ‘I have allowed this city to be handed to Chaldeans, and into the hands of Babylon’s king… and he will [very soon] take it!
Ιερ. 32:30:‘Only the sons of Israel and Judah, would do such bad in front of My eyes. For, since their youth, Israel’s sons, have done many things to make Me feel bitter, by the works of their hands,’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 32:36:Then, Jehovah the God of Israel said against this city: ‘Say to them: I’ve placed it in the hands of Babylon’s king, through the sword, famine, and plague.
Ιερ. 32:42:Then Jehovah said: ‘And as I brought bad to these people, I’ll now bring them the good things I promised.
Ιερ. 32:44:In the land of BenJamin [this will happen], as well as all around Jerusalem, and in all the cities of Judah. [It will happen] in all cities in the mountains, and in the cities of the Shephela and Negev. For, from their relocation I’ll return them,’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 33:1:Then the word of Jehovah came to JeremiJah a second time while he was still bound in the courtyard of the guard.
Ιερ. 33:2:He was told, ‘The Lord who made the earth and shaped it (Jehovah is His great Name) says:
Ιερ. 33:4:Then Jehovah the God of Israel told of how the houses of the city [of Jerusalem] and the [palace] of the king of Judah would be demolished for use as siege mounds and fortifications
Ιερ. 33:11:there’ll be voices of gladness and joy; the sounds of a bride and a groom; and the sounds of men who are saying, Praise the Almighty God, for Jehovah really does care, and through the ages He has shown mercy! ‘Then they’ll carry gifts to [Temple] of Jehovah, and those taken from the land I’ll then return,’ said Jehovah.
Ιερ. 33:12:Then Jehovah of Armies said: ‘But upon this place there must come desolation, and its cities will be void of cattle and men… a lodging for shepherds and a place for the bedding of flocks.
Ιερ. 33:13:But then; In the cities of the mountainous regions; in the cities of the Shephela and the Negev; throughout BenJamin’s land; all places around Jerusalem, and in all the cities of Judah, sheep [will be gathered] and counted,’ said Jehovah.
Ιερ. 33:14:‘{Look!} The days are coming,’ says Jehovah, ‘when I’ll [fulfill] all the good words I spoke, about the houses of Israel and Judah.
Ιερ. 33:16:‘In those days, Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will live in security. Then they will call [Me] Jehovah Our Justice,’
Ιερ. 33:17:(for Jehovah says): ‘There’ll always be a man of David’s [line], sitting upon Israel’s throne.
Ιερ. 33:20:Jehovah says: If you should annul My Sacred Agreement – My Sacred Agreement with the day, and My Sacred Agreement with the night, so there won’t be day or night in their time –
Ιερ. 33:25:And thereafter Jehovah said, ‘If My Agreement with the day and the night had not been, and I hadn’t brought the Laws of heaven and earth,
Ιερ. 34:2:Jehovah the God of Israel told me to go to ZedekiJah the king of Judah and tell him that thus says the Lord: ‘When it comes to handing things over, I’ll hand this city to Babylon’s king, and he will take it and burn it with fire.
Ιερ. 34:4:Listen to what Jehovah said, O ZedekiJah king of Judah, because this is what He said to you! ‘You will not die by the broadsword,
Ιερ. 34:5:for when you die they’ll burn incense, as they did for your fathers who reigned before you. And when they burn it they’ll be crying, O Lord, as they are mourning for you.’ Yes, this is what was said by Jehovah.
Ιερ. 34:8:Then the word of Jehovah came to JeremiJah after King ZedekiJah [issued a decree] to the people in Jerusalem concerning [God’s] Sacred Agreement, in which he called for everyone to set
Ιερ. 34:13:Jehovah (the God of Israel) made a Sacred Agreement with them.
Ιερ. 34:17:It’s because of this that thus says Jehovah: ‘You didn’t pay attention to Me, and call for a release of your brothers and neighbors, so {Look!} I’ll call the release on your behalf – by the sword, by plague, and by famine – then scatter you to all the kingdoms of earth.
Ιερ. 34:22:‘Look, I have ordered it [to happen],’ says Jehovah! ‘I will bring them back to this city, and they’ll war against her and take her; then they will burn her with fire. So, I will make all the cities of Judah, places where none live or walk.’
Ιερ. 35:1:It was during the time of JehoiAkim (the son of JosiJah) the king of Judah that the word of Jehovah came to JeremiJah saying,
Ιερ. 35:2:‘Go to the family of the Rechabites and call them, then bring them to the [Temple] of Jehovah, and into one of the courtyards, and offer them some wine to drink.’
Ιερ. 35:3:So, he led JaAzaniJah (the son of JeremiJah and grandson of HabaZiniJah), his brothers, sons, and the rest of the family of the Rechabites into the [Temple] of Jehovah,
Ιερ. 35:13:Jehovah of Armies, the God of Israel says that you must go and speak to the men of Judah and those living in Jerusalem, and tell them that Jehovah says, There’s no way that you’re listening to the things that I say,
Ιερ. 35:17:So, because of this, says Jehovah of Armies, Israel’s God, {Look!} I will bring upon Judah, and those who are living in Jerusalem, all the bad things that I’ve spoken against them. For, I spoke to them and they paid no attention; I called to them and they didn’t answer.’
Ιερ. 35:18:Then JeremiJah said to the house of the Rechabites, ‘Jehovah says that; since the descendants of JoNadab (the son of Rechab) paid attention to the commandments of their father and did everything that he instructed them to do, It’s because of this, says Jehovah of Armies, Israel’s God,
Ιερ. 36:1:It was in the fourth year [of the reign of] of JehoiAkim (the son of JosiJah) the king of Judah, that the word of Jehovah came to me saying,
Ιερ. 36:4:So, JeremiJah called BarUch (the son of NeriJah), and he wrote all the words of Jehovah that came from the mouth of JeremiJah on a papyrus scroll.
Ιερ. 36:5:Then JeremiJah said to BarUch, ‘Because I’m being guarded, I’m unable to enter the [Temple] of Jehovah.
Ιερ. 36:6:So, you go there and read this papyrus scroll into the ears of all the people who are there in the [Temple] of Jehovah on a day of fasting… read it into the ears of all the Judeans who are coming from their cities,
Ιερ. 36:7:then perhaps their need for mercy will fall before Jehovah and they’ll turn from their evil ways. For, the rage and anger that Jehovah spoke against these people is great!’
Ιερ. 36:8:So, BarUch (the son of NeriJah] did everything that JeremiJah told him to do. He read the scroll of the words of Jehovah there in the [Temple] of Jehovah.
Ιερ. 36:9:It was in the fifth year and ninth month [of the reign] of JehoiAkim (the son of JosiJah) the king of Judah, that all the people of Jerusalem and the house of Judah held an assembly to fast before Jehovah,
Ιερ. 36:10:and that’s when BarUch read the scroll of the words of JeremiJah into the ears of all the people who were there at the [Temple] of Jehovah. [He did this] from the [apartment] of GemariJah (the son of Shapha) the scribe, in the upper courtyard, which is in front of the threshold of the New Gate of the [Temple] of Jehovah.
Ιερ. 36:11:And after MichaiJah (the son of GemariJah and grandson of ShaPhan) heard all the words of Jehovah being read from the scroll,
Ιερ. 36:27:Well, after the king burned the scroll that BarUch wrote containing all the words that were spoken by JeremiJah, the word of Jehovah came to JeremiJah saying,
Ιερ. 36:29:Then tell JehoiAkim the king of Judah that Jehovah says, You have burned up this scroll, yet you asked why I had it written. For it told you that Babylon’s king, will enter this land and destroy it, wiping away both man and beast.
Ιερ. 36:30:‘Well, because of this, Jehovah has said this against [you]: O JehoiAkim king of Judah, who sits upon David’s throne; You will no longer be sitting, but into the sweltering heat of the day, and into the icy coldness of the night, your decaying flesh will be tossed.
Ιερ. 37:2:And he, his servants, and the people of the land wouldn’t listen to words of Jehovah that He’d spoken through JeremiJah.
Ιερ. 37:3:Then King ZedekiJah sent JehuCal (the son of ShelemiJah) and ZephaniJah (the son of MaAseJah) the Priest to JeremiJah to tell him: ‘Pray to Jehovah our God for us.’
Ιερ. 37:6:Then the word of Jehovah came to JeremiJah saying,
Ιερ. 37:7:Jehovah, the God of Israel, says that you are to tell the king of Judah (the one who sent you to inquire of Me), {Look!} These armies of Pharaoh that come to your aid, to the land of Egypt will return.
Ιερ. 37:9:Jehovah says that; your souls should not think of saying, The Chaldeans will turn back once more, because there’s no way they will do so.
Ιερ. 37:17:Finally, ZedekiJah sent for him, and the king asked him secretly, ‘Is there any word from Jehovah?’ And he replied, ‘Yes! You will be handed over to the king of Babylon!’
Ιερ. 38:2:Jehovah says that all who live in this city will die by the broadsword, by famine, and by plague. But, whoever [surrenders] to the Chaldeans will live and save his own life.
Ιερ. 38:3:For, Jehovah says that; When it comes to handing over, this city will be handed over to the armies of the king of Babylon and he will take it.’
Ιερ. 38:14:Then the king sent for him while [the king] was in the house of AsaLiseEl (which is located in the [Temple] of Jehovah), and the king said to him, ‘I want to ask you something… and don’t hide the truth from me!’
Ιερ. 38:16:Then the king secretly swore an oath to him, saying, ‘As Jehovah who gave us this life lives, I won’t kill you or hand you over to these men who are seeking your life!’
Ιερ. 38:17:Then JeremiJah told him, ‘Jehovah of Armies, the God of Israel says that; If you go and surrender to the governors of the king of Babylon, you will live… you’ll save your own life, and this city won’t be burned with fire… you and your family will live!
Ιερ. 38:20:But JeremiJah said, ‘There’s no way that you’ll be handed over [to them]. Pay attention to the word of Jehovah that I’ve spoken to you, for it would be much better for you to live and save your life!
Ιερ. 38:21:But if you choose not to go out and surrender, this is what Jehovah has said:
Ιερ. 39:15:But the word of Jehovah had come to JeremiJah while he was still in the courtyard of the guard, saying,
Ιερ. 39:16:‘Go and speak to EbedMelech the Ethiopian. Tell him that Jehovah the God of Israel says, {Look!} I’ve fulfilled My words on this city, to do just bad things not good! And they will stand before you in that day.
Ιερ. 39:17:But in that day I will save you, says Jehovah. I will not hand you over, to stand before the faces of those whom you fear.
Ιερ. 39:18:For, when it comes to salvation, I’ll save you, and no way will you fall by the broadsword. Your reward will be your own life, for you trusted in Me, says Jehovah.’
Ιερ. 40:1:Then the word of Jehovah came to JeremiJah after he had been led off in shackles by NabuzarAdan (the chief of the guards), as he was being separated from the rest of the Judeans who were being relocated from RamAh to Babylon.
Ιερ. 40:2:Then, as the chief of the guards was taking him away, he said to him, ‘Jehovah your God spoke to you against this place and all of its badness,
Ιερ. 41:5:when some eighty men came from Shechem, Shiloh, and Samaria with their beards shaved off, wearing torn clothes, beating their chests, and carrying gifts of frankincense in their hands for the [Temple] of Jehovah.
Ιερ. 42:2:‘May our need for mercy fall before you! Please pray to Jehovah your God about all these things, for there were once as many of us as your eyes could behold, but now we are so few.
Ιερ. 42:3:Tell us which way Jehovah your God says we should go, and that’s the way we will go!’
Ιερ. 42:4:And JeremiJah the Prophet said to them, ‘I’ve heard you, so {Look!} I will pray to Jehovah our God about the things you’ve said. Then I will announce to you whatever Jehovah tells me… and there’s no way that I’ll hide a word from you!’
Ιερ. 42:5:So they said to JeremiJah, ‘May Jehovah be a righteous and trustworthy witness against us, if we fail to follow every word that Jehovah your God sends to us.
Ιερ. 42:6:We will obey [every word] from the voice of our God Jehovah to whom we are sending you, whether for the good or the bad! We will pay attention and listen to the voice of our God Jehovah, so that things will go well for us.’
Ιερ. 42:7:Well, after ten days, the word of Jehovah came to JeremiJah.
Ιερ. 42:9:and he said to them, ‘Jehovah, the God of Israel to whom you sent me, has heard all your prayers before Him.
Ιερ. 42:11:‘[He says]: Do not fear the king of Babylon, whose face you are now so afraid of… don’t be afraid, says Jehovah, because I am with you and I’ll save you; I will rescue you from his hands!
Ιερ. 42:13:‘But if you say among yourselves, There’s no way that we will stay in this land, and you fail to obey the voice of your God Jehovah,
Ιερ. 42:15:then hear the word of Jehovah, O you remnant of Judah! ‘Jehovah of Armies, the God of Israel says: If you point your faces toward Egypt, and enter [that land] in order to live there,
Ιερ. 42:18:Jehovah of Armies, the
Ιερ. 42:19:‘That is what Jehovah spoke against you, O remaining ones of Judah… you must not go into Egypt! Now, you know this, for I have testified to you about it today!
Ιερ. 42:20:But you [weren’t being honest] within yourselves when you sent me to Jehovah your God and said,
Ιερ. 42:12:Pray about us to Jehovah and we will do whatever Jehovah our God tells us… whatever He tells us we will do!
Ιερ. 42:21:Now, I’ve told you, but you won’t listen to the voice of Jehovah your God and follow [the words] that He sent to you, so you will come to your end in that place (where you now want to go and live) by means of the broadsword, by famine, and by plague.’
Ιερ. 43:1:Well, just after JeremiJah had finished speaking all the words of Jehovah their God, which Jehovah their God had sent to them,
Ιερ. 43:2:AzariJah (the son of HoshaiJah), JoHanan (the son of KareAh), and all the proud ones started speaking to JeremiJah and saying, ‘You’re lying! Jehovah our God didn’t send you to tell us not to go down into Egypt and live there!
Ιερ. 43:4:So, JoHanan (the son of KareAh), the generals, and all the people refused to listen to the voice of Jehovah, or [agree] to live in the land of Judah.
Ιερ. 43:7:the Prophet JeremiJah, and BarUch (the son of NeriJah), and they went to TahPanHes in Egypt. For, they had refused to listen to the voice of Jehovah.
Ιερ. 43:8:And it was while JeremiJah was in TahPanHes that the voice of Jehovah came to him, saying,
Ιερ. 43:10:then tell them that Jehovah of Armies, the God of Israel says, {Look!} I will send for My servant NebuChadNezzar (king of Babylon), and he’ll set his throne on these rocks that I’ve [buried]. He will also lay his shields down upon them.
Ιερ. 44:2:Jehovah of Armies, the God of Israel says, You have seen all the bad things, which I have brought on Jerusalem, and upon the cities of Judah; and {Look!} they lie desolate to this day… no one lives there at all,
Ιερ. 44:7:‘And now Jehovah (the Almighty God of Israel) asks: So, why are you still bringing such evil, against your own lives, O you men – against your women, your infants and babies – so that none of Judah will remain?
Ιερ. 44:11:It’s because of this, said the God of Israel, Jehovah of Armies, {Look!} that against you I’ll set My face, because of the evils you are doing, in My desolation of Judah.
Ιερ. 44:16:‘We won’t pay any attention to the words that you’ve spoken to us in the Name of Jehovah,
Ιερ. 44:21:‘When it comes to the incense you burned in the cities of Judah and Jerusalem – you, your ancestors, your kings, your rulers, and the rest of the people of the land – it is Jehovah who remembers this! Yes, it ascended to His heart,
Ιερ. 44:23:‘You stood there before Him and burned incense – sinning against the Lord – and you didn’t pay attention to the voice of Jehovah, or to His instructions, His Laws, or His proofs. Rather, you went and took up all these evil practices, which you have continued to do down to this day.’
Ιερ. 44:24:And JeremiJah said to the women and all the people: ‘So, hear the word of Jehovah, all Judea; you who are living in the land of Egypt!
Ιερ. 44:25:For, Jehovah the God of Israel says that you and your women have brought fulfillment [upon yourselves] by your own mouths and hands, when you said that you will continue to acknowledge and burn incense to the queen of heaven, and offer [food and drink] before her.’ ‘So, you plan to continue making offerings before her?
Ιερ. 44:26:Well, because of this, hear the word of the Lord, all Judea, and those who have settled in the land of Egypt: {Look!} I swore an oath by My Great Name, said Jehovah, that My Name won’t remain in the mouths of all Jews. For they will no longer say, O Lord Jehovah, come live [among us], here within the land of Egypt.
Ιερ. 44:29:And this is your sign, says Jehovah, that I Myself will visit this place, so you’ll know that My words have stuck upon you, because of your evil deeds:
Ιερ. 45:2:Jehovah the God of Israel said this about you, O BarUch,
Ιερ. 45:3:because you complained: Alas! Jehovah has added hard labor to my misery, for I went to bed moaning and I didn’t find rest.
Ιερ. 45:4:‘So, Jehovah told me to say this to you, {Look!} That which I’ve built I’ll demolish, and that which I’ve planted I will pluck out… yes even this land that is Mine.
Ιερ. 45:5:So, do you look for great things to come upon you? If so, do not do that; for {Look!} upon all flesh I’ll bring bad things, says Jehovah. But as your reward I’ll give you your life, no matter wherever you choose to go.’
Ιερ. 46:1:Thereafter, these words of Jehovah came to JeremiJah the Prophet, against the nations.
Ιερ. 46:5:‘Why are they frightened and running? It’s because their mighty have fallen, And into exile they’re going; They’ll not return to this land,’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 46:10:‘For, that day belongs to the Lord God of Armies, Who’ll arise to take vengeance on His enemies. Then the sword will devour and be filled… It will be drunk with their blood. ‘For, there’s a sacrifice to Jehovah of Armies [Being offered] upon the land of the north, There at the River EuPhrates.
Ιερ. 46:13:This is what Jehovah said through JeremiJah the Prophet concerning the coming of NebuChadNezzar (the king of Babylon) to strike the land of Egypt:
Ιερ. 46:18:‘As I live,’ says the King, Jehovah of Armies, ‘As Tabor is found among mountains, And Carmel is there by the sea,
Ιερ. 46:23:‘Then, they will cut down her forest,’ says Jehovah! ‘For, no one can imagine their numbers… As with locusts there’s no way to count them!
Ιερ. 46:25:Says Israel’s God, Jehovah of Armies. ‘{Look!} Then Ammon [the God of Thebes] I will punish. I will bring upon Egypt, As well as on her gods and her kings, And upon Pharaoh and those who put trust in him…
Ιερ. 46:26:To those seeking their lives I will hand them… To the hands of NebuChadNezzar, As well as the hands of his servants. ‘Then, as days of old it will be,’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 46:28:So don’t be afraid, Jacob My child,’ says Jehovah, ‘For I will then be there with you! And all the nations to which I led you, Will then be appointed to destruction… All nations where I sent you will be consumed. ‘But, though I’ll never appoint you an end, I will judge and correct you… You’ll not be found innocent or acquitted.’
Ιερ. 47:1:These words of Jehovah came to JeremiJah the Prophet against the Philistines before Pharaoh attacked Gaza:
Ιερ. 47:2:Jehovah says, ‘{Look!} Waters are arising from the north; They’ll become a flooding rushing stream. They’ll flood the land and all of its good things… the city, as well as all those who live there.
Ιερ. 47:4:in the day that he comes to destroy the Philistines… to wipe away Sidon, Tyre, and their allies. ‘Jehovah will destroy the Philistines, as well as the islands of CappaDocia.
Ιερ. 47:7:How can it [finally] be stilled? For, Jehovah sent it to AshKelon, and against [her cities] by the sea, so all the rest would then be aroused.’
Ιερ. 48:1:Jehovah of Armies, the God of Israel, said this against Moab: ‘Woe to Nebo for it was destroyed; Kiriath JaIrim was taken… their forts were all vanquished and shamed.
Ιερ. 48:8:To all your cities there will come ruin… none of your cities will be saved. Even your valleys will then be destroyed, along with your plains,’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 48:10:O cursed is the one who’s indifferent, in doing the work of Jehovah… cursed is the one who holds back his sword!
Ιερ. 48:12:‘But, because of this,’ says Jehovah, ‘{Look!} days are coming when I’ll send upon him, those who wish to lean on him. They will water [all his wine] pitchers, and they will break all his trumpets.
Ιερ. 48:15:For, Moab and his [capital] city are gone… all his young men are slaughtered and fallen,’ says the King (Jehovah of Armies is His Name).
Ιερ. 48:25:‘The horn of Moab has been broken, and his strong forearm has been destroyed,’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 48:26:‘Now make [his people] all drunk, for he made himself great in front of Jehovah. ‘Now Moab will wallow in her own vomit; she will be considered a joke.
Ιερ. 48:30:But I know all of his deeds,’ says Jehovah, ‘and I’ve had to endure too much from him… aren’t these the things that he did?
Ιερ. 48:35:‘I’ll destroy Moab,’ says Jehovah; ‘he who ascends to his shrine, and there burns incense to his gods.
Ιερ. 48:38:‘[There’ll be wailing] on the roofs of Moab, and even within their [city] squares. For, I’ve broken Moab,’ says Jehovah, ‘like a pot that is no longer used.
Ιερ. 48:40:Jehovah says: ‘I’ll spread and stretch out My wings over Moab.
Ιερ. 48:43:So, snares, and fear, and the pit is upon you… you who have settled in Moab,’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 48:44:‘Those fleeing in fear will fall in a cesspool, and those climbing out will be caught in a snare. For, I’ll bring these things upon Moab, in the year that I visit,’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 48:47:But, I’ll return the captives of Moab, in the last days,’ says Jehovah. This was the judgment on Moab.
Ιερ. 49:1:To the sons of Ammon: Jehovah asked; ‘Are there no sons in Israel… is there no one there to inherit [their land]? Why has MelCom inherited Gad and their people, and why does he live in their cities?
Ιερ. 49:2:{Look!} Because of this, days will come,’ says Jehovah, ‘when I’ll make the great disturbance of war, heard in RabBah by Ammon’s sons. Then they’ll be destroyed, and their land [will soon] be unwalked; her shrines will be incinerated with fire, and Israel will inherit its kingship,’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 49:5:{Look!} I will bring fear upon you,’ says Jehovah of Armies, ‘and upon all the cities within [your domain]. For you will each soon be scattered, to wherever your faces [will lead you], and none will gather those who escape.
Ιερ. 49:6:But from their captivity I’ll then return, the sons of Ammon,’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 49:7:To Edom: Jehovah says: ‘There is no more wisdom in Teman, for the council of their experts has been destroyed, and their wisdom’s beguiled and undone.
Ιερ. 49:12:Jehovah says: ‘{Look!} Those who were not under Law, were given the cup and they drank it. And because you won’t be found without guilt, you too will have to drink from that cup.
Ιερ. 49:13:For, I swear an oath by Myself,’ says Jehovah, ‘that your land will be scorned and unwalked; you will be cursed in her midst, and your cities will be deserts throughout the age!’
Ιερ. 49:14:Then I listened and heard from Jehovah, for He’d sent messengers to the nations to tell them, ‘Gather together and come here against her… arise and get ready for war!
Ιερ. 49:16:For, all your [schemes] have worked out against you, and the audacity of your heart [pulled you down], among holes in the rocks of high hills. If you set your nest as high as an eagle, from there I’ll bring you down,’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 49:18:For, as Sodom and GomorRah were destroyed, along with all those who stayed there,’ said Jehovah, ‘no man will sit [in Edom] again, nor will a son of man ever live there.
Ιερ. 49:20:So, hear the plan of Jehovah… His plan against Edom and what He’s devised, against those who are living in Teman. ‘Even the smallest of their sheep, will then be taken away, and the places where they rest will be empty.
Ιερ. 49:26:your young men will fall in your squares, and all your mighty warriors will fall in that day,’ says Jehovah of Armies.
Ιερ. 49:28:To Cypress and the queen in her courtyard, [concerning the attack by] NebuChadNezzar the king of Babylon: Jehovah says: ‘Arise and go up to Cypress, then attack the sons of Kedem,
Ιερ. 49:30:‘Flee right away… just grab what you need, O you who sit in the courtyard,’ says Jehovah! ‘For against you King NebuChadNezzar’s made plans.
Ιερ. 49:32:‘Then all your camels will be plundered, and your cattle will all be destroyed. I’ll blow them away with the winds, and shave them away from your sides, for I’ll bring your enemies to drive you away,’ said Jehovah.
Ιερ. 49:35:For, Jehovah of Armies had said: ‘Look! I will break Elam’s bows, as well as his sources of power.
Ιερ. 49:37:Before their foes (those seeking their lives), I’ll cause them to be scattered. Then I’ll bring the badness of My anger and rage,’ says Jehovah. ‘I’ll chase them all with My sword, until they’re completely consumed.
Ιερ. 49:38:Then in Elam I’ll establish My throne… from there I’ll send a king and great men,’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 49:39:‘But, at the ends of the days I’ll return, all the captives of Elam,’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 50:1:These are the words that Jehovah spoke against Babylon and the land of the Chaldea by the hand of JeremiJah the Prophet:
Ιερ. 50:4:‘During those days and that time, they will be entered and shaken,’ says Jehovah. ‘Then, sons of Israel and Judah will leave her together, and before Jehovah they’ll leave weeping [in joy], for they’ll be seeking their God.
Ιερ. 50:5:‘They’ll ask for directions to Zion, and that’s where they’ll set their faces to go. Then, in Jehovah they’ll seek refuge, and recall His Agreement of the ages.
Ιερ. 50:10:‘Then the Chaldeans will be plundered, and all those who loot her will soon become filled,’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 50:13:because of the rage of Jehovah (it won’t be lived in… all will be gone). Then those who travel through Babylon, will look sadly and whistle at her disaster.
Ιερ. 50:14:‘Come, lay siege against Babylon… stretch your bows and shoot at her! Don’t spare your bows when you come against her, for, it’s against Jehovah that she has sinned.
Ιερ. 50:18:‘It’s because of all this,’ says the God of Israel, Jehovah of Armies, ‘{Look!} I’ll take vengeance on Babylon’s king and his land, as upon Assyria’s king I took vengeance.
Ιερ. 50:20:‘In those days and that time,’ says Jehovah, ‘throughout Israel they’ll search for all that’s unrighteous, and it will no longer exist. For the sins of Judah they will seek, and there’s no way they’ll be able to find them. And those who remain will find kindness.
Ιερ. 50:21:‘Come to that land and attack her… against the people who are living within her, and punish all those who once clapped their hands… wipe them away with the sword,’ says Jehovah! ‘Do all to them that I’ve told you to do!
Ιερ. 50:24:‘They’ll attack and you will be captured; yet you, O Babylon, are still unaware. You will be found and then taken, for it is I, Jehovah, whom you’ve opposed!
Ιερ. 50:25:‘So the Lord has opened His storehouse, and withdrawn the objects of His rage, to do the work of Jehovah of Armies, within the land of Chaldea.
Ιερ. 50:28:‘There’s the sound of [people] who are fleeing… from the land of Babylon they’re running. So, announce the vengeance of Jehovah to Zion… the vengeance of our God for His Temple.
Ιερ. 50:29:‘Urge many to come against Babylon… tell all to stretch tight their bows! Set your camps all around her, and allow none to escape. Pay her back for the things she has done… what she’s done to you, you do to her! For, against Jehovah she has stood… against God (the Holy One of Israel).
Ιερ. 50:30:‘It’s because of this that she’ll fall. And all the young men in her squares, as well as all of her warriors, will be [stabbed through] in that day,’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 50:31:’{Look!} I am against you, O proud one,’ says Jehovah of Armies, ‘and the day has now come… it’s time for you to be punished.
Ιερ. 50:33:Jehovah of Armies also said, ‘To the sons of Israel you’ve been tyrants, as well as to sons of Judah… to all whom you captured you’ve been tyrants, and you refused to send them away.
Ιερ. 50:34:‘But He who pays their ransom is strong (Jehovah the Almighty is His Name). He judges His opponents in fairness, before He takes them away from their land. And now He’s [decided to] provoke, all those who are living in Babylon.
Ιερ. 50:35:‘Bring a sword upon the Chaldeans,’ says Jehovah, ‘and upon all the residents of Babylon… upon her great men and experts!
Ιερ. 50:40:For, as God destroyed Sodom and GomorRah, as well as the places round-about them,’ said Jehovah, ‘there’s no way that men will live there again, nor will sons of men ever stay there.
Ιερ. 50:45:‘Because of this; Hear the plan of Jehovah… all His plans against Babylon, and all the devices that He has devised, against those who live in the land of Chaldea. Surely their lambs will all be destroyed… surely their pastures will all be taken!
Ιερ. 51:1:Jehovah said: ‘{Look!} I will awaken against Babylon, and against the Chaldeans who live there, a wind that burns and destroys.
Ιερ. 51:5:For Israel and Judah aren’t the widows, of their God Jehovah the Almighty. It was because their land was filled with injustice, and [had left] the holy ways of Israel, that they were [taken away].
Ιερ. 51:6:‘So, those in Babylon’s midst should now flee… each man should save his own life! Don’t get involved in her unrighteous things, for it’s time for her punishment by Jehovah… He’ll repay her for the things she has done!
Ιερ. 51:7:‘As a cup of gold is Babylon, within the hands of Jehovah, and the whole earth is now drunk from her wine. All the nations have drunk it, and because of this they are reeling.
Ιερ. 51:10:‘Yes, Jehovah His judgment upon her, so come let’s announce it in Zion… the works of Jehovah our God.
Ιερ. 51:11:‘Prepare you bows… fill your quivers, for the spirit of the king of the Medes, has been aroused by Jehovah. Because of His rage against Babylon, [He plans] to wipe her away. Yes, this is vengeance from the Lord, as well as the vengeance of His people.
Ιερ. 51:12:‘Lift the flags upon Babylon’s walls; prepare the watchmen and ready the shields! For, Jehovah’s about to do what He said, against those residing in Babylon.
Ιερ. 51:14:For, Jehovah swore an oath by His arm (and He said), I’ll fill you with men – as many as locusts – and those coming against you will shout.
Ιερ. 51:19:But this isn’t the portion of Jacob, for their inheritance is He who shaped all… Jehovah of Armies is His Name.
Ιερ. 51:24:Before your eyes I’ll pay back, Babylon and the Chaldeans, for the evils they did against Zion,’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 51:26:There’s no way they will carry your stones, to be used as corner foundations, for you’ll be wiped away through the age,’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 51:29:‘The whole earth was shaken and made drunk, by Jehovah’s plans against Babylon. He arranged the extinction of Babylon’s land, and no one will live there again.
Ιερ. 51:33:For, Jehovah of Armies (the God of Israel) says: ‘The palace of Babylon’s king, is now just a floor to do threshing… and it is the season for threshing, for it is now time for the harvest!
Ιερ. 51:36:‘Because of this,’ says Jehovah: ‘{Look!} I will now judge your opponent, and avenge them for the ways that they punished you. I’ll desolate her [waters] and dry up her springs,
Ιερ. 51:39:which will be a sleep of the ages, from which they’ll never awaken,’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 51:45:‘So, come from her midst, O My people… let each one save his own life, from the anger and rage of Jehovah.
Ιερ. 51:48:Then heaven and earth will be joyful, as well as all those who live there. For, from the north will come her destroyer,’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 51:51:‘We were ashamed when we heard of our scorn, and in dishonor we covered our faces, for foreigners had entered our Holy Place… they had entered the [Temple] of Jehovah!
Ιερ. 51:52:And because of this, {Look!} days will come,’ says Jehovah, ‘when against her carved idols I’ll take vengeance, and the slain will fall in her land.
Ιερ. 51:53:For, should Babylon ascend to the heavens, or fortify the heights of her strength, from Me will come those who destroy her,’ says Jehovah.
Ιερ. 51:55:For, Jehovah will wipe away Babylon… as with sounds of waters He’ll destroy her, and to her voice He’ll bring ruin.
Ιερ. 51:57:Jehovah will repay he with what she is due. For He will make them all [reel like] drunks… her governors, wise men, and commanders,’ says the King, Jehovah the Almighty.’
Ιερ. 51:58:Thus says Jehovah the Almighty: ‘The broad walls of Babylon will be razed, and her gates will fail and be burned, because nations and people will have tired of her pride.’
Ιερ. 51:59:[All the above] are the words that Jehovah told JeremiJah the Prophet to say to SeraiJah (the son of NeriJah and grandson of MaAseJah), when he went with ZedekiJah (the king of Judah) into Babylon in the fourth year of his reign (for SeraiJah was in charge of the gifts that were [brought to the king]).
Ιερ. 51:62:then say, O Jehovah; it was You who spoke against this place. You said that You would destroy it, and no one would live here again, from man to beast, through the ages.
Ιερ. 52:2:And like JehoiAkim, the things that he did were wicked before Jehovah.
Ιερ. 52:3:So, the wrath of Jehovah stayed upon Jerusalem and Judah until He finally cast them away from His face, and ZedekiJah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
Ιερ. 52:13:and he burned the [Temple] of Jehovah, the king’s palace, and all the houses in the city with fire, including all of its mansions.
Ιερ. 52:17:Then the Chaldeans broke up the columns of brass in the [Temple] of Jehovah, along with their bases and the brass Sea, and they carried the brass off to Babylon.
Ιερ. 52:20:as well as the two columns, the Sea, and the twelve brass calves that were under the Sea (which King Solomon had made for the [Temple] of Jehovah) [to Babylon].
Θρ. 1:5:Now her head is those who opposed her, for by her enemies [she has been conquered]. By Jehovah she has been humbled, for all the irreverence within her. Her young were led out as captives, before all those who oppressed her.
Θρ. 1:11:Now all of her people are groaning, because they are searching for bread. Her desirable things they’ve traded for food, in order to save their own lives. Look upon this O Jehovah, for she has now been disgraced!
Θρ. 1:15:All my strong men are gone, because Jehovah has left me. For, the time arrived when He came to visit, and to break my best men. Yes, Jehovah has trodden the winepress, of the virgin daughter of Judea.
Θρ. 1:17:Zion has opened and spread out her hands, but there is no one to offer her comfort. For, Jehovah gave warning to Jacob, that he’d be encircled by those who’d oppress him. Jerusalem was to be a woman set apart, from all the [nations] that are unclean, as she was to live in their midst.
Θρ. 1:18:Jehovah is righteous because, it is I who made His mouth bitter. So, hear all you peoples and look at my pain… all my virgins and young men are gone… they’ve been taken as captives!
Θρ. 2:5:Like an enemy Jehovah became… He sunk Israel and all its palatial homes, and He destroyed all its forts (those of the daughter of Judah). He multiplied those who did humbling, as well as those being humbled.
Θρ. 2:6:He opened and spread out His Tent like a grapevine; He corrupted His holiday feasts; Jehovah forgot all the things He’d appointed for Zion… the holiday feasts and the Sabbaths. It was because [we had] provoked Him, that He threatened the king and the priests in His rage.
Θρ. 2:8:Jehovah made plans to ruin the walls, of the daughter of Zion. First He stretched out His ruler, and He didn’t stay His hand from the trampling. So, there was mourning around all the walls, for all the walls were destroyed.
Θρ. 2:17:Jehovah did what He’d thought of… He finished the things that He said He would do… the instructions He gave long ago. He didn’t spare… He demolished! He made the enemy glad over you, and lifted the horn of those who attacked you!
Θρ. 2:18:Their hearts yelled out to Jehovah, ‘O tear down all Zion’s walls; let them stream tears day and night! Don’t allow them to sober, or the pupils of their eyes to remain still!’
Θρ. 2:19:During the night, awaken and think… at the start of each watch, pour out your hearts, before the face of Jehovah! Raise your hands up before Him, on behalf of your starving infants, who are on each corner of your streets!
Θρ. 2:20:Behold, O Lord… see what You’ve gleaned! Shall the women eat the fruit of their bellies… shall the babies be murdered as they’re nursing on breasts… will you kill the priests and the prophets, inside Jehovah’s Holy Place?
Θρ. 3:22:The mercies of Jehovah never end, nor have His compassions ever failed.
Θρ. 3:24:‘My portion is Jehovah,’ said my soul, ‘and because of this, I’ll wait upon Him [to take action].’
Θρ. 3:25:Jehovah is good to all those who wait, and search for Him with their whole souls. NOTE: The following verses do not appear in Hebrew texts, but they seem to include a Messianic prophecy (if they are authentic).
Θρ. 3:26:It’s good [for us] to be still, and await the salvation of Jehovah.
Θρ. 3:31:For [in his heart] he knows that Jehovah, won’t push [him] away through the ages.
Θρ. 3:36:For, Jehovah never said that He’d bring, condemnation on all of mankind.
Θρ. 3:37:Who said such a thing, and could it come to pass, without Jehovah saying that it’s so?
Θρ. 3:40:Our ways are stretched and examined, so we should turn to Jehovah.
Θρ. 3:50:until the time that I can look through, and see Jehovah in the heavens…
Θρ. 3:55:So, I called on Your Name, O Jehovah, from out of the lowest of pits.
Θρ. 3:66:then pursue them in rage and remove them, from under the sky, O Jehovah.
Θρ. 4:11:as Jehovah completed His rage… as He poured out the rage of His anger. He lit a fire throughout Zion, and it consumed her foundations.
Θρ. 4:16:For, their portion was the person of Jehovah, but He didn’t look [with favor] upon them, for they showed no respect for their Priests, and on their elders they showed no mercy.’
Θρ. 4:20:Jehovah’s Anointed, our very life’s breath… for our corruption our Lord was then seized… he about whom we said, Among the nations we’ll live in his shadow.
Θρ. 5:1:Remember, O Jehovah, what has happened to us! Look down upon us and see all our scorn!
Θρ. 5:19:But You, O Jehovah, live through the ages… through generations of generations Your throne still exists.
Θρ. 5:21:Turn back to us, O Jehovah, and then we’ll return and make our days new, as they were long ago!
Ιεζ. 1:3:So, the word of the Lord came to EzekiEl (the son of Buzi) the Priest, in the land of the Chaldeans, there at the River ChoBar. This came upon me from the hand of Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 1:28:He was like a bow that forms in the clouds on a rainy day, with brightness all around Him. This was a vision of the likeness of the glory of Jehovah. And when I saw this, I fell upon my face. Then I heard a voice speaking [to me].
Ιεζ. 2:4:They are a harsh and hard-hearted [people], so to them I’m now sending you. You must tell them that Jehovah has said,
Ιεζ. 3:11:Then go among the captive sons of your people, and tell them that the Lord Jehovah has spoken; then surely they’ll listen and yield.’
Ιεζ. 3:12:Then [His] Breath lifted me up, and from behind me I heard the sound of a great quaking (that was saying), ‘Praise the glory of Jehovah that is coming from His place!’
Ιεζ. 3:14:And the Breath lifted me and carried me away, and my spirit became lifted and motivated by the hand of Jehovah, which came over me and made me very strong.
Ιεζ. 3:23:So, I got up and went out to the plains, and {Look!} there was the glory of Jehovah – the glory that I had seen by the River ChoBar – and then I fell to my face.
Ιεζ. 3:27:‘And then My voice will be speaking through you. I will open your mouth and you’ll tell them, that this is what Jehovah has said: All who choose to hear should now listen; but those who won’t be persuaded, may continue to resist the persuasion, for this is a house in rebellion!’
Ιεζ. 4:13:And Jehovah the God of Israel said: ‘For, this is the type of uncleanness, that the sons of Israel will eat, among the nations where I’ll throw them.’
Ιεζ. 5:5:This is Jerusalem, says Jehovah. I’ve placed her amid nations that will surround her.
Ιεζ. 5:7:‘It’s because of this,’ says Jehovah, ‘that your chance to be without law will arrive, from the nations that will have you surrounded, For, you haven’t follow My Laws, or observed My righteous decrees. Nor did you did observe the decrees that I gave, to the nations round about you!
Ιεζ. 5:8:So, because of this,’ says Jehovah, ‘{Look!} I am now standing against you, and I’ll bring My judgments upon you, there before [all] the nations!
Ιεζ. 5:11:‘As I live; Because of this,’ says Jehovah… ‘because you defiled My Holy Things, with things disgusting and loathsome; I will push you away… I won’t spare My eye or show mercy!
Ιεζ. 5:13:‘But after My anger and rage is exhausted, I’ll [return to] offer them comfort. And you will know that this happened, because I Jehovah have spoken in My zeal, and upon you I’ve vented My rage.
Ιεζ. 5:15:You’ll be squeezed out and scoffed at by nations, when I bring My judgments and anger upon you, as well as My vengeance and rage. For, I Jehovah have spoken.
Ιεζ. 5:17:I’ll send out famine against you, as well as ferocious wild beasts! With plagues you will also be punished, and blood will then flow among you; for then I’ll bring upon you the sword. Yes, I Jehovah have spoken!’
Ιεζ. 6:3:Say to the mountains of Israel: Hear the word of Jehovah! For, He says to the mountains, hills, valleys, and forests: {Look!} I am bringing a broadsword upon you, and it will destroy your high places.
Ιεζ. 6:7:Then, as the slain fall in your midst, you’ll know that I am Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 6:10:For, then they will know that I am Jehovah, and that it wasn’t for nothing that I spoke, of doing such bad things against them.’
Ιεζ. 6:13:And you will know that I am Jehovah, when you see your slain among all your idols… around your altars upon the high hills, and under each shade tree and bush, where they offered incense to their idols.
Ιεζ. 6:14:‘For, against them I’ll stretch out My hand, and make their land and their homes all extinct… I will make them a ruin [like] the deserts of Diblath. And then you will know that I am Jehovah.’
Ιεζ. 7:2:‘And to you, O son of man, Jehovah says this about Israel: To the four wings of the land, the end has finally arrived…
Ιεζ. 7:4:and my eyes won’t spare nor will I show mercy. For, your disgusting things I’ll hold against you… these things that were done in your midst, and then you will know that I am Jehovah.’
Ιεζ. 7:5:Jehovah said, Upon all those who are evil, {Look!} evil is now here at hand.
Ιεζ. 7:9:My eyes will not spare nor will I show mercy; I’ll hold you to blame for your ways, and all disgusting things that were done in your midst… and then you’ll know that it’s Me (Jehovah)… I am the One who is striking you [down]!
Ιεζ. 7:10:‘{Look!} The day of Jehovah has arrived, and His rod has [finally] blossomed.
Ιεζ. 7:19:‘They’ll toss their silver into the squares, and no one will value their gold; for their silver and gold will not save them, in the day of the wrath of Jehovah. Their lives will find no satisfaction, nor will their bellies be filled, because, the torment for their sins has arrived.
Ιεζ. 7:27:‘Then the rulers will end in extinction, and the hands of the people of the land will go limp. I will do to them as they acted, and punish them with their own judgments… then they will know that I am Jehovah.’
Ιεζ. 8:1:It was during the sixth year, in the sixth month, on the fifth day of the month, while I was sitting in my house and all the elders of Judah were sitting before me, that the hand of Jehovah came upon me.
Ιεζ. 8:4:And in this vision, {Look!} there in the plains, I saw the glory of Jehovah, the God of Israel.
Ιεζ. 8:12:And He said to me, ‘O son of man; You see what the elders of the house of Israel are doing, in the darkness of hidden rooms. They’re saying that Jehovah’s left the land!’
Ιεζ. 8:14:Then He brought me up to the threshold of the Gate of the [Temple] of Jehovah (the one that faces north), and there I saw women sitting and wailing for TamMuz.
Ιεζ. 8:16:So, He brought me into the inner courtyard of the [Temple] of Jehovah, up to the thresholds of the House of the Lord, and there between the columned porch and the Altar, were about twenty-five men with their backsides to the Temple of Jehovah and with their faces looking to the east… and there they were bowing to the sun in the east!
Ιεζ. 9:4:and Jehovah said to him: ‘Go through the midst of the city – through the midst of Jerusalem – and put a sign on the foreheads, of the men who are groaning and deeply upset, for the lawless deeds being done in its midst.’
Ιεζ. 9:9:And He told me, ‘The sins of the houses of Israel and Judah, have now become just too great. For, the land has become filled with [bloodshed], and the city is filled with sin and uncleanness. For, they say that Jehovah has abandoned the land, and that He pays no attention.
Ιεζ. 10:4:Then the glory of Jehovah that was hanging in the open air between the cherubs, left and entered the Temple; and the [Temple] became filled with the cloud, and the courtyard was filled with the brightness of the glory of Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 10:18:Then the glory of Jehovah departed from the open air inside the [Temple] and it mounted the cherubs.
Ιεζ. 10:19:And thereafter, the cherubs raised their wings and flew high above the ground before me, and as they traveled, their wheels were next to them. Then [they came to rest] upon the gate in front of the [Temple] of Jehovah, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.
Ιεζ. 11:1:Then [God’s] Breath took me and led me to the gate of the [Temple] of Jehovah, the one facing east, and {Look!} there on the threshold of the gate were about twenty-five men. And among them I saw JaAzaniJah (the son of Azur) and PedaiJah (the son of BenaiJah)… those who were guiding the people.
Ιεζ. 11:5:Then the Breath of Jehovah came over me, and He told me to tell them that Jehovah says: ‘I know what you’re saying, O house of Israel, and I know of the things that you’ve planned in your [hearts].
Ιεζ. 11:7:Because of this,’ says Jehovah, ‘those whom you’ve killed in her midst are the meat, and [the city of Jerusalem] is the kettle. For, I will lead you out of her midst!
Ιεζ. 11:8:‘You are afraid of the broadsword, so I’ll bring the broadsword upon you,’ says Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 11:10:and there you will fall by the broadsword. To the borders of Israel I’ll judge you, and then you will know that I am Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 11:12:Clear to the borders of Israel I’ll judge you, and then you will know that I am Jehovah. For, in My Commandments you would not walk, and you wouldn’t [abide] My decisions. The judgments of the nations you followed… those who now have you surrounded.’
Ιεζ. 11:13:And then my prophecies came to pass, for PedaiJah (the son of BenaiJah) died. So, I fell upon my face and yelled out in a loud voice, saying, ‘Alas, O Jehovah; Have You appointed the remaining ones of Israel to be totally consumed?’
Ιεζ. 11:15:‘O son of man; Your [Israelite] brothers and fellow captives, have been taken to their destination. And those in Jerusalem have said about you: Because you are far from Jehovah, we have inherited [your] land.
Ιεζ. 11:16:‘So tell them that thus says Jehovah: I’ll also push you away to the nations, and scatter you to many lands. Then to you, I’ll be no safe haven, in the places where you [will be scattered].
Ιεζ. 11:17:‘And because of this, tell them that thus says Jehovah: Then I’ll take Israel out of the nations… I’ll gather them from wherever I sent them, and give them [their land] once again.
Ιεζ. 11:21:It’s because of the disgusting things that they did, and the lawlessness within their hearts, that their hearts chose to follow in their own ways. So, upon their heads I brought their blame,’ says Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 11:23:And the glory of Jehovah ascended from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain in front of the city.
Ιεζ. 12:10:So, say concerning the rulers (those who are giving Jerusalem its directions, as well as the people in their midst)… tell them that Jehovah has spoken.
Ιεζ. 12:15:Then they will know that I am Jehovah, as among the nations they are scattered… [wherever they go] they’ll be scattered.
Ιεζ. 12:16:‘Yet, among their numbers I’ll leave a few, as survivors of the sword, and the famines and plagues. So they will then speak in detail, to all the nations where they’re sent, of the lawless deeds that they’ve done… and then they will know that I am Jehovah.’
Ιεζ. 12:19:Then you will say to the people of the land, Jehovah says, that there will be shortages of bread, and that the drinking water will vanish, among those in Israel and Jerusalem. Thus, they will soon be extinct in the land… so the violence among all who live there, will have reached its conclusion.
Ιεζ. 12:20:Then the cities that they now live in, will all become desolation, and their land will become an extinction… then they will know that I am Jehovah.’
Ιεζ. 12:23:‘Because of this, tell them that thus says Jehovah: I will turn this proverb around, and the house of Israel won’t say it again. For, now you’ll be saying instead: The days have come, as have the words of the visions!
Ιεζ. 12:25:For I, the Lord will speak all My words… I’ll act and not stretch out the time. Tell them that thus says Jehovah: In your days, O house in rebellion, I’ll speak the words and then act!’
Ιεζ. 12:28:‘Because of this, tell them that thus says Jehovah: I’ll no longer stretch out the words that I speak, for now I’ll speak and then act!’
Ιεζ. 13:2:‘Son of man; Now prophesy against Israel’s prophets (those who [say that they speak of the future])! You must speak to these prophets and tell them, that their prophecies spring from their own hearts. You must prophecy and tell them: Hear the word of Jehovah!
Ιεζ. 13:6:They see false visions and their omens are useless, for they say that Jehovah has spoken, and make their words sound very lofty, yet they are not sent by Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 13:7:Haven’t your visions been false… haven’t the words you’ve spoken proven untrue? For you speak when I haven’t spoken, says Jehovah!
Ιεζ. 13:8:Because of this, I want you to tell them, said Jehovah, that because their words are all false, and all their prophecies are foolish… it’s because of this that I am against them, says Jehovah!
Ιεζ. 13:9:So, I’ll stretch out My hand against all those prophets – those who are seeing false visions, and those who declare foolish things, when they give instructs to My people – and among Israel, their [names] will not be recorded, so they will know that I am Jehovah!
Ιεζ. 13:13:It’s because of this, says Jehovah, that I will send out a wind, that will rip down [the walls] in My anger, and then My rage will flood in… in rage, rocks will be thrown, as I bring it all to an end!
Ιεζ. 13:14:For, I’ll raze the walls that you’ve plastered… I’ll lay them to the ground and show their foundations. Then you’ll be worn out by the shouting, and you will know that I am Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 13:16:it’s with those who prophesy about Jerusalem… those who see her and speak about peace, when there really won’t be any peace, says Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 13:18:Tell them that thus says Jehovah: Woe to those who sew pillows, to be placed under elbows, and those who make veils for heads of each size, that you say are a protection for My people; for you are misleading their souls!
Ιεζ. 13:20:It’s because of this, says Jehovah, {Look!} I am opposed to your pillows, which you use to gather their lives. So, I will rip them out of your arms, and send off the lives of those you’ve misled; for then they will be scattered.
Ιεζ. 13:21:I will also rip off your [magic] veils, and rescue My people from your hands. They’ll no longer fall into your hands, and then you will know that I am Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 13:23:And because of this; You will see false visions no more, and you will not see any omens. From your hands I will rescue My people, and then you will know that I am Jehovah.’
Ιεζ. 14:4:Speak and tell them that thus says Jehovah: Any man from the house of Israel, who may start to think in his heart, that he’ll not be punished for his badness, should arrange his face and then come to the Prophet, and I Jehovah will tell him, of all the things in his mind,
Ιεζ. 14:6:‘So, tell the house of Israel that thus says Jehovah: Turn from the things that you’re doing… turn your faces from your godless deeds!
Ιεζ. 14:7:For a man – any man – from the house of Israel, or from among foreigners who are converts, that may have separated himself from Me, and starts to think in his heart, that he should never be punished, for all his unrighteous deeds; he should arrange his face and then come to the Prophet… he should ask, and then I Jehovah will answer, about the things he’s concerned with.
Ιεζ. 14:8:For I’ll fix My face against such a man, and assign him to a place where he’ll be extinct… from the midst of My people I’ll lift him away, and then you will know that I am Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 14:11:so the house of Israel will not stay misled, and remain defiled by its errors. And then they’ll become a people to Me; and to them, I’ll be their God,’ says Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 14:14:But if men like Noah, Daniel, and Job, can be found in that land, these will be saved,’ says Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 14:16:But, if three such men can be found there; As I live,’ says Jehovah, ‘none of its sons or daughters will be saved… just [those three] will be saved, but the land will be ruined thereafter.
Ιεζ. 14:18:and if such three men are there in its midst; As I live,’ says Jehovah, ‘[the land’s] sons and daughters won’t be saved, but they alone will be rescued.
Ιεζ. 14:20:and Noah, Daniel, and Job are in its midst; As I live,’ says Jehovah, ‘neither its sons or daughters will be saved… for, their lives be saved by just righteous ways!’
Ιεζ. 14:21:Then Jehovah said, ‘I will bring these four punishments on Jerusalem: the broadsword, famine, ferocious wild beasts, and the plague. These will destroy both men and beasts.
Ιεζ. 14:23:‘But [your mind] will then be relieved, because you will see theirs ways and their thoughts, and you’ll know that the things which I did, were not done for no reason,’ says Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 15:6:‘So, Jehovah says: As I’ve assigned vines among trees in the woods, to be burned in a fire and consumed, so I’ve done to those living in Jerusalem.
Ιεζ. 15:7:For, against them I’ll set My face, and fire they’ll have to [endure], since the fire will then [come and] consume them. And after My face is set against them, they’ll know that I am Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 15:8:I’ll also appoint [their] land to extinction, because they fell into error, says Jehovah.’
Ιεζ. 16:3:Tell them that thus Jehovah: Your roots and your birth are in CanaAn. An Amorite man was your father, and your mother a Hittite.
Ιεζ. 16:8:And then I came and beheld you, and look… it was your time, a time for your rest. So, I opened and spread out My wings over you, and your indecency [and shame] I then covered. Then I swore to you with an oath, and entered a Sacred Agreement with you, says Jehovah, and that’s when you became Mine.
Ιεζ. 16:14:A among the nations, your name became famous, and this was true of your beauty, for I had made your beauty complete… it was I who ordered it for you, says Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 16:19:You took the bread loaves I gave you – the fine flour, olive oil, and honey that I fed you – and before their faces you set them, as a pleasing scent and aroma. Yes, thus it was so, says Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 16:23:And now that you’ve done all your evil, woe, woe upon you, says Jehovah!
Ιεζ. 16:30:O what will I do to your heart, asks Jehovah, as you are doing these bad things… the works of a woman who’s known as a whore? Why, you’ve even had sex with your daughters!
Ιεζ. 16:35:‘Because of this, O you whore; Hear the word of Jehovah!
Ιεζ. 16:43:Because you forgot the days of your youth, and caused me to fret over such things, {Look!} I’ll bring them down on your head, says Jehovah, and then you’ll no longer be godless.
Ιεζ. 16:48:As I live, says Jehovah; Has your sister Sodom (she and her daughters) acted like you and your daughters?
Ιεζ. 16:58:As for all the irreverence, and the lawless deeds that you’ve carried, says Jehovah,
Ιεζ. 16:62:For, My Sacred Agreement will just be with you, and then you will know that I am Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 16:63:Then you should remember and be ashamed, and not open your mouth, because of the dishonor upon your face, since it was Me who had to atone, for all the bad things you did, says Jehovah.’
Ιεζ. 17:3:Tell them that thus says Jehovah: ‘There was a great eagle with very large wings, And claws that were long and outstretched. And into Lebanon he was then led, Where he selected the choicest of cedars.
Ιεζ. 17:9:‘Now, Jehovah asks, Will it prosper? Will her roots remain tender? Will not her fruits become rotten? ‘Yes, her early shoots will all dry, But not by a great mighty arm, Nor by armies who’ll pull up her roots.
Ιεζ. 17:16:‘As I live,’ says Jehovah! ‘Surely here in the place of the king, he’ll disgrace the One who gave him his reign, and violate the oath of his treaty, so in Babylon’s midst he’ll meet his end.
Ιεζ. 17:19:‘Tell him that thus says Jehovah: As I live; Surely he was disgraced, and he broke My Agreement, so I will lay this on his head:
Ιεζ. 17:21:Then his [armies] in battle array, will all fall by the broadsword. And those who remain will be scattered to the wind, then they’ll know that I Jehovah have spoken.’
Ιεζ. 17:24:‘Then all the trees in the plains, will know that I am Jehovah… He who humbles the trees in the heights, and raises high the trees that are low; He who dries up green trees, and makes [others] flourish in dryness. For, I am Jehovah… I have spoken and I will act.’
Ιεζ. 18:3:As I live,’ said Jehovah; ‘Will this proverb be found true in Israel?
Ιεζ. 18:9:who follows in the ways of My orders; who guards My Laws and then does them… such a one is a man who is righteous, and he will then [receive] life,’ says Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 18:23:‘Do I wish to see the death of the lawless,’ asks Jehovah? ‘No! I want him to turn from his bad so he’ll live!’
Ιεζ. 18:25:‘But then you say: The ways of Jehovah aren’t right! Pay attention, O house of Israel! Haven’t My ways proven straight? Aren’t yours the ways that aren’t straight?
Ιεζ. 18:29:‘Yet, the house of Israel makes the claim, that the ways of Jehovah aren’t straight. O house of Israel; Is it really My ways that aren’t straight? Aren’t yours the ways that are crooked?
Ιεζ. 18:30:O house of Israel; I’ll judge each by his ways, says Jehovah. So, if you turn from irreverence, you won’t be punished for your badness!
Ιεζ. 18:31:Thus, throw away your impious ways, and your irreverence toward Me… create for yourselves new spirits and hearts! Why should you die, O house of Israel? 32 I want no one to die, says Jehovah! Return [to Me] and you’ll live!’
Ιεζ. 20:1:It was in the seventh year, in the fifth month, and on the tenth day of the month, that men from among the elders of the house of Israel came to ask [things] of Jehovah. So, they sat there before my face,
Ιεζ. 20:3:‘O son of man; Speak to the elders of Israel, and tell them that thus says Jehovah: Have you come to ask something of Me? As I live, I will not answer, says Jehovah!
Ιεζ. 20:5:‘And tell them that Jehovah has said: From the day I accepted the house of Israel, to make [Myself] known to Jacob’s seed, and I became known down in Egypt, when I first took them by the hand, and told them that I am Jehovah their God…
Ιεζ. 20:7:and told them to leave all their disgusting things (which they kept before all their eyes), as well as the dirty practices of Egypt… I’ve been Jehovah their God!
Ιεζ. 20:12:And I gave them My Sabbaths as a sign between us, for them to know that I am Jehovah, the One who is making them holy.
Ιεζ. 20:19:for I am Jehovah their God. [I told them to] follow My orders; to keep My Laws and then do them;
Ιεζ. 20:20:and to keep all My Sabbaths holy, for this will serve as a sign between us, that I am Jehovah their God.
Ιεζ. 20:26:I gave them orders to defile them, and to scatter all those who opened the womb – to completely wipe them away – so they will know that I am Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 20:27:‘So, because of these things; O son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and tell them that thus says Jehovah: To this day your fathers have provoked Me to rage, by the errors they’ve committed against Me.
Ιεζ. 20:30:‘So, because of all of these things, tell Israel that thus says Jehovah: Do all the lawlessness of your fathers! Defile yourselves with their disgusting ways!
Ιεζ. 20:31:As the first-fruits of your gifts and your offerings, pass your children through the fire! Defile yourselves in all of your thoughts, as you have done down to this day!So, O house of Israel; Will I not give a reply? As I live, says Jehovah; If I should give you an answer, would your spirit pay any attention…
Ιεζ. 20:33:Because of this, as I live, says Jehovah; I’ll reign over you with a strong hand, and with My arm raised high in great rage!
Ιεζ. 20:36:the same as I argued the case of your fathers, there in the deserts of Egypt… that’s how I will then judge you, says Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 20:38:And I’ll pick out all those among you, who’ve proven themselves irreverent and rebellious, and remove them from those who [return]; for the land of Israel they’ll not enter. And then you will know that I am Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 20:39:And as for you, O house of Israel; Jehovah says, Get rid of all your evil ways! From now on listen to Me, and no longer profane My Holy Name, with your gifts and all your [wicked] deeds,
Ιεζ. 20:40:that are being done on My Holy Mountain, and in all of Israel’s hills.Jehovah says: Israel must serve Me throughout the whole land, for there I will receive them, and there I’ll keep watch on their first fruits… the first-fruits of your offerings and all your holy things.
Ιεζ. 20:42:And then you will know that I am Jehovah, when to the land of Israel I return you… the land that I gave to your fathers.
Ιεζ. 20:44:And you’ll know that I am Jehovah, and I did this so My Name would not be profaned, by your bad practices and ways, O house of Israel, says Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 20:47:And in the woods of the Negev, say, Hear the word of Jehovah! For He says: {Look!} I’ll light a fire within you, which will burn both the green trees and dry trees. And after it has been lit, this fire will not be put out. All faces will then be consumed, by winds from the east and the north.
Ιεζ. 20:48:Then all flesh will know that I am Jehovah, for I’ll light it on fire and not put it out.
Ιεζ. 21:3:Tell Israel that thus says Jehovah: Look, I am against you, so I’ll pull My knife from its sheath, And destroy all the unrighteous and lawless…
Ιεζ. 21:5:And when I pull My knife from its sheath, I will not put it away, And all flesh will know that I am Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 21:8:Look… it comes and will be, Says Jehovah [our] God.’
Ιεζ. 21:9:And the word of the Lord came to me saying, ‘O son of man; Now prophesy! You must tell them that thus says Jehovah: ‘O broadsword, O broadsword, be sharpened and mad,
Ιεζ. 21:17:‘I’ll also clap hand upon hand, And then I’ll slacken My rage, For, I Jehovah have spoken.’
Ιεζ. 21:26:For, Jehovah said this: Remove the turban and take off the crown, for they’ll no longer be yours. From on high you’ll be cut down, and that which is low will then be raised!
Ιεζ. 21:28:‘Yes, prophecy, O son of man… to the sons of Ammon you must say, that Jehovah said this concerning their scorn: O sword, O broadsword, now be unsheathed! Be unsheathed for the victims of slaughter! Arise and shine to consume them!
Ιεζ. 21:32:‘By fire you’ll be devoured, and your blood will flow through the midst of your land. Then there’ll be no memory of you, for I Jehovah have spoken.’
Ιεζ. 22:3:You must say that the Lord Jehovah said this: O city of so much shed blood; she who brought defilement on herself;
Ιεζ. 22:12:Among you they take bribes to shed blood; interest and rent they require; thus you’ve brought your evil to completion, and in your tyranny, you forgot Me, says Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 22:14:will your heart be able to stand it… will your hands [be strong] in the days that I do this? For, I Jehovah have spoken… yes, and now I will do it!
Ιεζ. 22:16:For, I’ll assign the nations to watch over you, and you will know that I am Jehovah.’
Ιεζ. 22:19:And because of this, you must tell them, that thus says [Jehovah their God]: You are all mixed into one. So, into Jerusalem’s midst I will put you,
Ιεζ. 22:22:As silver is cast in a furnace, in the midst of the furnace you’ll be thrown. And you will know that I am Jehovah, when I pour all My rage out upon you.’
Ιεζ. 22:28:So, her prophets by whom they were anointed, will now all be cut down… those who see only vain things, and oracles that really aren’t true, but say that Jehovah has spoken, when Jehovah has not really spoken.
Ιεζ. 22:31:thus upon her I’ll pour out My rage… the fire of My anger in order to end it… I’ll lay all the blame on their heads, said Jehovah.’
Ιεζ. 23:22:Because of this, AholiBah, says Jehovah, {Look!} I’ve awakened your lovers against you… those to whom you gave your life. I’ll bring them against you and they will surround you…
Ιεζ. 23:28:‘For Jehovah says: {Look!} I’ll give you to the hands of those you detested (those to whom you’ve given your life),
Ιεζ. 23:32:‘And Jehovah said: From the cup of your sister you will drink deeply, and there’ll be enough to cause laughter… then, in complete intoxication you will sneer.
Ιεζ. 23:34:You will drink and then you’ll throw up; you’ll eat his shards of broken pots; and start pulling at your own breasts.So I’ll pervert your holiday feasts, as well as all your New Moons… yes, I’ll pervert them, for I’ve spoken, says Jehovah.’
Ιεζ. 23:35:‘Then Jehovah said: Because you forgot Me and put Me behind you, you’ll get what you’re due for your whoring!
Ιεζ. 23:49:I’ll lay your irreverence upon your own heads, and you’ll bear your own sins and ideas. Then you will know that I am Jehovah!’
Ιεζ. 24:3:And speak this poem to that house in rebellion. Tell them that thus says Jehovah: ‘Prepare the pot… prepare the pot and fill it with water,
Ιεζ. 24:9:Because of this, said Jehovah; Woe to you, O city of blood, For your funeral pyre will be great…
Ιεζ. 24:14:‘For, I Jehovah have spoken… it will come and I’ll do it! I won’t warn or show mercy on you, And I won’t offer you comfort. According to your ways and your thoughts… That is how you’ll be judged, says Jehovah.’
Ιεζ. 24:21:‘Speak to the house of Israel, and tell them that thus says Jehovah: {Look!} I will profane My holy places… the neighing of your strength and desire of your eyes. And in order to save your own lives, you’ll abandon your sons and your daughters, and then they will fall by the broadsword.
Ιεζ. 24:24:‘EzekiEl will serve as an omen and sign, for all that he does you will do. And after these things have all happened, you will know that I am Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 24:27:‘And your mouth will open in that day, to speak to those who’ve escaped… you’ll speak and not be mute any more… you’ll tell how you were a sign, and they will know that I am Jehovah.’
Ιεζ. 25:3:Tell the sons of Ammon to hear the word of the Lord, for, thus says Jehovah: Because you were [filled with] rejoicing,
Ιεζ. 25:5:The cities of Ammon I’ll give them, to serve as pastures for their sheep; and I’ll also give them your camels. Then you will know that I am Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 25:6:Jehovah says: For, you clapped your hands and stamped your feet, and rejoiced over Israel in your soul.
Ιεζ. 25:7:And because of this, {Look!} I’ll stretch out My hand, and appoint you to be ravaged among the nations. I’ll destroy you out of the peoples… I’ll destroy you out of your regions, and then you will know that I am Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 25:8:Jehovah says: Because Moab and Seir have [often] said, {Look!} The house of Judah’s become like the gentiles,
Ιεζ. 25:11:For in Moab I will also wreak vengeance, and then they will know that I am Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 25:12:‘And Jehovah says: Since Edom was very resentful, and sought vengeance against the house of Judah, seeking to bring punishment on them;
Ιεζ. 25:13:because of this, says Jehovah, I’ll stretch out My hand against Edom, and from man to beast, destroy all. I will make [their land] a desolation, and from Teman and Ledan those being pursued, will all then fall by the broadsword.
Ιεζ. 25:14:Against the land of Edom I’ll bring vengeance, by the hand of Israel My people. They’ll deal with Edom according to My rage, and in the ways of My anger. Then they will know of My vengeance, says Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 25:15:And because of this, says Jehovah; because the Philistines arose to take vengeance, and they rejoiced in their souls, to wipe [My people] away through the age;
Ιεζ. 25:16:because of this, says Jehovah, {Look!} against the Philistines I’ll stretch out My hand… I will destroy the Cherethim, as well as those who remain on the coast.
Ιεζ. 25:17:Against them I will bring vengeance, and the rebukes of My rage. Then they will know that I am Jehovah, when I bring My vengeance upon them.’
Ιεζ. 26:3:‘Because of this,’ said Jehovah, ‘{Look!} I am against you, O Rock, and I’ll bring many nations against you, like the sea that ascends with her waves.
Ιεζ. 26:5:and she’ll be a place to dry [fish] nets, for I have spoken,’ says Jehovah. ‘She’ll become a place to be plundered by nations.
Ιεζ. 26:6:Then her daughters in the plains will be killed by the sword, and they will know that I am Jehovah.’
Ιεζ. 26:7:For Jehovah says: ‘Look! I’ll bring against you, O Tyre, NebuChadNezzar the king of Babylon from the north. He [is truly] the king of all kings, with horses, chariots, and horsemen, and an army from many nations.
Ιεζ. 26:14:I will make you like a smooth rock, and a place for the drying of dragnets. There’s no way that you’ll be rebuilt, for I Jehovah have spoken,’ said the Lord.
Ιεζ. 26:15:Then Jehovah asked this of Tyre: ‘When their swords are unsheathed in your midst, won’t the sounds of your downfall, and the moans of your wounded shake the islands?
Ιεζ. 26:19:Then the Lord Jehovah said this: ‘Upon your cities I’ll bring desolation, and leave them all without people; then I’ll cover you with the waters of the deep.
Ιεζ. 26:21:I’ll appoint you for desolation, and you won’t exist anymore, so they’ll look for you and not find you,’ says Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 27:3:You must say to the Rock (she who lives by the sea… the market of the peoples from many islands) that thus says Jehovah to Tyre: ‘You say you’ve invested in beauty;
Ιεζ. 28:2:‘And you, O son of man; Say this to the ruler of Tyre! Tell him that thus says Jehovah: You have made your heart haughty, and you said that you are a God, for you live in the dwelling of sea gods! Yet, you are a man not a god, and you made your own heart the heart of a god.
Ιεζ. 28:6:It’s due to this, says Jehovah; Since you’ve made your heart as that of a God; {Look!} I’ll bring strange pests from the nations upon you,
Ιεζ. 28:10:Among the uncircumcised you will then die… by the hands of those who are strangers. For, I have spoken, says Jehovah.’
Ιεζ. 28:12:‘O son of man; Speak this lamentation to the ruler of Tyre. Tell him that thus says Jehovah: ‘Yours is the image on a seal; Full of wisdom and a crown of great beauty.
Ιεζ. 28:22:Tell them that thus says Jehovah: {Look!} I’m against you, O Sidon, and by you I’ll be glorified, for you will know that I am Jehovah, when I bring My judgments upon you, and then I’ll be holy among you.
Ιεζ. 28:23:‘Against you I will send death and blood, and you will fall in your squares. As the men among you are wounded by swords, those near you will know that I am Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 28:24:‘The house of Israel will be gone… a barb of bitternes and thorn of grief. And all who surround them and bring them dishonor, will know that I am Jehovah.’
Ιεζ. 28:25:Jehovah says: Then I’ll gather those of the house of Israel, from among all the nations where they were dispersed, and I will be holy among them, before all the peoples and nations. Then they will live on the land, which I gave to My servant Jacob,
Ιεζ. 28:26:and they will dwell upon it in hope. There, they’ll plant vineyards and build houses, and they will dwell there in hope, when I bring My judgments on all who abused them – all who now live around them – and they’ll know that I’m Jehovah their God, as well as the God of their fathers.’
Ιεζ. 29:3:Speak and tell them that thus says Jehovah: {Look!} I’m against you, O Pharaoh, king of Egypt, the great dragon who waits between his rivers; he who says, The rivers are mine… they were created for me!
Ιεζ. 29:6:‘Then those who are living in Egypt, will know that I am Jehovah. [This will all happen] because; To the house of Israel you have proved, to be just a reed, not a rod;
Ιεζ. 29:8:Because of this, says Jehovah, {Look!} I will bring the broadsword upon you, to destroy you all (both men and beasts).
Ιεζ. 29:9:The land of Egypt will then be given, for destruction and desolation. And they will all know that I am Jehovah; since you said, The rivers are mine… they were created for me!
Ιεζ. 29:13:Then, Jehovah says, After forty years I will gather the Egyptians, from the nations where they were dispersed,
Ιεζ. 29:16:‘Then, to the house of Israel you’ll be no hope… they’ll be reminded that it was wrong, to ever have put trust in you. And then they will know that I am Jehovah.’
Ιεζ. 29:19:Because of this, says Jehovah, {Look!} To Babylon’s King NebuChadNezzar, I will hand the land of Egypt. Then he will loot and plunder her spoils, and this will be his army’s wage.
Ιεζ. 29:20:In return for his service against Tyre, the land of Egypt I’ll give him, because of the things that he’s done for Me, says Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 29:21:‘In that day, a horn will arise, before all those of Israel’s house, and I’ll send an opened mouth in their midst, and they will know that I am Jehovah.’
Ιεζ. 30:2:‘O son of man; Prophesy and tell them that thus says Jehovah: The day is near…
Ιεζ. 30:3:the day of Jehovah approaches; it’s a day of clouds and a time of the nations,
Ιεζ. 30:6:says Jehovah. And the supporters of Egypt will fall… they’ll go down with the insolence of her strength. From Migdol to Syene they’ll fall by the sword.
Ιεζ. 30:8:Then they will know that I am Jehovah, when I bring fire against Egypt, and all who helped her will be broken.
Ιεζ. 30:10:Jehovah says, I will destroy many Egyptians, by the hand of NebuChadNezzar, king of Babylon.
Ιεζ. 30:12:Then I’ll make their rivers desolate places, and give their land to those who are bad. I’ll obliterate their land and empty it out, and give all of its fullness to strangers. For, I am Jehovah and I have spoken!
Ιεζ. 30:13:Jehovah God says, Their disgusting things I’ll destroy… to those [gods] of Memphis I’ll provide rest, and the rulers of Egypt won’t be any more.
Ιεζ. 30:19:‘I will bring judgment on Egypt. Then they will know that I am Jehovah.’
Ιεζ. 30:22:But, because of this, says Jehovah, {Look!} I’m against the Pharaoh (king of Egypt), so I will break his strong arms, including the one that’s been broken, and tear his sword from his hand.
Ιεζ. 30:25:I’ll strengthen the arms of Babylon’s king, and then the arms of Pharaoh will fall. And they will know that am Jehovah, when to Babylon’s king I give My sword, and he lifts it against the land of Egypt.
Ιεζ. 30:26:‘Then I’ll scatter Egypt among all the nations… to many places I’ll blow them away, and then they will know that I am Jehovah.’
Ιεζ. 32:1:It was in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, and on the first day of the month that the word of Jehovah came to me saying,
Ιεζ. 32:8:‘All shining lights in the sky, Will be dark over you, And over your land I’ll bring darkness,’ Says Jehovah the Lord.
Ιεζ. 32:11:Then the Lord Jehovah said: ‘The broadsword of Babylon’s king, Will thereafter come upon you.
Ιεζ. 32:14:‘Then all their waters will be stilled, And their rivers will pour out like oil,’ says Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 32:15:‘When I bring destruction upon Egypt, The fullness of the land will be [gone]. And when I scatter all those who live there, They will know that I am Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 32:16:‘Then [this] lamentation they will lament. The daughters of nations will [cry] over Egypt… Over her strength they’ll lament,’ Says Jehovah the Lord.
Ιεζ. 32:17:And in the twelfth year, on the fifteenth day of the month, the word of Jehovah came to me saying,
Ιεζ. 32:31:‘Then there they’ll see King Pharaoh, and they’ll find comfort in this. For, Pharaoh and his armies will all be killed,’ says Jehovah, the Lord.
Ιεζ. 32:32:‘To the land of the living, I brought his fear, yet among the uncircumcised he’ll sleep, along with those slain by the sword… yes, Pharaoh and all of his crowd,’ says Jehovah, the Lord.
Ιεζ. 33:11:‘Reply to them and say this: As I live, says Jehovah; I don’t want the death of the godless. [I want them] to turn from their [lawless] ways, so that they can then live… but, you must turn from all your bad ways… why must you die, O house of Israel?
Ιεζ. 33:17:‘And if you will say to the sons of your people, The ways of Jehovah aren’t right, when it’s really their ways that aren’t right;
Ιεζ. 33:20:‘Now, you say that the ways of Jehovah aren’t straight! However, O house of Israel; I’ll judge you each by the ways that you act!’
Ιεζ. 33:22:Then the hand of Jehovah came over me that evening. But, before that (in the morning), He came and opened my mouth, so my mouth couldn’t stay closed any longer.
Ιεζ. 33:23:And the word of Jehovah came to me saying,
Ιεζ. 33:25:‘Because of this, tell them that the Lord Jehovah says this: Since you eat blood in your food, and to disgusting things lift your eyes, as well as shed [innocent] blood; what is this land that you will inherit?
Ιεζ. 33:27:‘Tell them that the Lord Jehovah says this: As I live; Those living in places that are being destroyed, will all fall by the broadsword. And those who are fleeing to the plains, will be given to be eaten by wild beasts. And those hiding behind walls and within caves, I will kill with a plague.
Ιεζ. 33:29:Then they will know that I am Jehovah, when I turn their land into desert, for the disgusting things that they do.
Ιεζ. 33:30:‘O son of man; The sons of your people are talking about you, along the walls and in the gatehouses, as well as inside their homes. Each is saying to his brother: We should all gather and listen, to what Jehovah has planned to do.
Ιεζ. 34:2:‘O son of man; Now prophesy against Israel’s shepherds… prophesy and tell them that thus says Jehovah the Lord: O shepherds of Israel; Do shepherds graze for themselves? Don’t sheep do the grazing for the shepherds?
Ιεζ. 34:7:Because of this, O shepherds; Hear the word of Jehovah!
Ιεζ. 34:8:As I live, says Jehovah the Lord, Instead of My sheep being plundered, and allowed to be eaten by beasts in the plains; because there aren’t any shepherds… shepherds to search for My sheep; and because the shepherds have grazed on My sheep, while they’ve failed to provide My sheep grass;
Ιεζ. 34:9:because of this, O shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah!
Ιεζ. 34:10:For the Lord Jehovah says this: Look, I’m against all the shepherds, and I’ll require My sheep from their hands. I’ll take them away from tending My sheep, and the shepherds won’t graze on them anymore. For, I will rescue My sheep from their mouths, and they’ll no longer be something that’s eaten.
Ιεζ. 34:11:‘The Lord Jehovah says, {Look!} I will search for My sheep, and I will visit with them.
Ιεζ. 34:15:I’ll graze My sheep and give them rest, says Jehovah the Lord.
Ιεζ. 34:17:And from among you, My sheep, says Jehovah the Lord, {Look!} I’ll separate sheep from the sheep among you, and the rams from the goats.
Ιεζ. 34:20:Because of this, says Jehovah the Lord, {Look!} I’ll separate the strong from the weak.
Ιεζ. 34:24:I Jehovah will be their God, and My servant David will rule in their midst… for I Jehovah have spoken.
Ιεζ. 34:27:The trees in the plains will then yield their fruit; the ground will yield all her strength; and in the hope of peace they’ll dwell on their land. ‘Then they will know that I am Jehovah, when I break the chains of their yoke, and save them out of the hands, of those who are making them slaves.
Ιεζ. 34:30:Then they’ll know that I am Jehovah their God, and they’ll know that I will be with them. For you are My people, O house of Israel, says Jehovah the Lord.
Ιεζ. 34:31:You men are the sheep of my pasture, and I am Jehovah your God, says the Jehovah the Lord.’
Ιεζ. 35:3:Tell it that thus says Jehovah the Lord: Look! I’m against you, Mount Seir! So, I’ll stretch My hand out against you, and make you a waste and a desert.
Ιεζ. 35:4:All of your cities will be desolation; I’ll turn you into a desert; and then you will know that I am Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 35:6:Because of this, as I live; says Jehovah, ‘for the blood of these men I’ll pursue you, and the blood you detested will chase after you!
Ιεζ. 35:9:I’ll assign you to be desolate through the age, and your cities will no longer be lived in; then you will know that I am Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 35:10:Because you have said, Both [of His] nations will soon be mine… I will soon inherit [their land] (and [their God] Jehovah is there);
Ιεζ. 35:11:because of this; As I live,’ says Jehovah, ‘I will treat you just as you’ve hated. Then the things you did in your jealousy of them, I’ll make known to you when I judge you,
Ιεζ. 35:12:and you will know that I am Jehovah.I’ve heard the blasphemies that you spoke, when you said: The mountains in the deserts of Israel, have been given to us to be eaten.
Ιεζ. 35:14:‘So, Jehovah says: To the joy of the land, I’ll turn you into a desert!
Ιεζ. 35:15:And as you were glad to inherit, and wipe the house of Israel away; that’s what I’ll do to you, O Mount Seir; I’ll turn you into a desert, and completely destroy the house of Edom. Then you’ll know that I’m God Jehovah!’
Ιεζ. 36:1:‘And now, O son of man, prophesy against the mountains of Israel. Tell the mountains of Israel, to hear the word of Jehovah!
Ιεζ. 36:2:Tell them the Lord Jehovah has said, that because the enemy said this against you, Well done, for now these desolate places, have all become ours through the ages.
Ιεζ. 36:3:And for this you must prophesy and tell them, that thus says Jehovah the Lord: Since you were dishonored and detested, by those who were living round-about you (those who wished you’d be owned by the nations… those who liked to talk against you, and made you the butt of the scorn of the nations)…
Ιεζ. 36:4:because of this, O mountains of Israel; hear the word of Jehovah! For, Jehovah says to your mountains and hills, to your desolate rivers and valleys, to your cities that have been destroyed and abandoned, then looted and trampled by nations round about;
Ιεζ. 36:5:It’s because of this that thus says Jehovah: I’ve spoken against the nations that remain, in the fire of My rage. [I’ve spoken] against all of Edom, for they happilly took My land as their own… they destroyed, looted, and dishonored lives.
Ιεζ. 36:6:‘So, over Israel you must prophecy; Tell the mountains and hills, as well as the valleys and forests, that thus says Jehovah the Lord: {Look!} In My zeal and My rage, I condemn the scorn that the nations brought on you.
Ιεζ. 36:7:And because of this, says Jehovah the Lord, I’ll raise My hand against all those nations (those that live all around you), and they will bear your dishonor.
Ιεζ. 36:11:Among you, I’ll multiply both men and cattle; they will grow and increase; I’ll settle you as you were long ago, and do good to you as before. Then you will know that I am Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 36:13:‘Then thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because they said, O you who once ate many men; Your nation no longer has children!
Ιεζ. 36:14:Yes, because of this, you’ll not be eaten by men, and your nation will never be childless, says Jehovah the Lord.
Ιεζ. 36:15:And never again will you hear, such dishonor of the nations against you… no more must you bear the scorning of peoples, nor again will your nation be childless, says Jehovah the Lord.’
Ιεζ. 36:20:Then, they entered the nations where they were sent, and there they profaned My Holy Name; for those who lived there were all saying, These are the people of Jehovah, and out of His land they were sent.
Ιεζ. 36:22:And because of this, tell the house of Israel that thus says Jehovah: O house of Israel; it’s not for you that I’ll act, but because of My Holy Name, which you’ve profaned among all the nations, wherever you have been sent.
Ιεζ. 36:23:So, My Name I’ll make holy again, which is being profaned among nations (which you profaned in their midst). Then those nations will know that I am Jehovah, says Jehovah the Lord, when before their eyes I’m made holy among you.
Ιεζ. 36:32:But not for your sakes will I do this, says Jehovah the Lord, but to make it known among you, that you should be shamed and remorseful, for all your bad ways, O house of Israel!
Ιεζ. 36:33:‘Then the Lord Jehovah said, In the day that I cleanse you from your lawless deeds, I will resettle your cities, and rebuild your desolate places.
Ιεζ. 36:37:‘And the Lord Jehovah said, Then the house of Israel will seek Me, [and ask Me to] to deal with them once again. And as though they are sheep (sheep that are holy), I will multiply their men… like Jerusalem’s sheep in her holiday feasts.
Ιεζ. 36:38:Thus will the cities (that were desolated), become filled with the sheep among men, and they will know that I am Jehovah.’
Ιεζ. 37:1:Then the hand of the Lord came upon me and it led me by the Breath of Jehovah into a field that was filled with human bones…
Ιεζ. 37:3:And He said to me, ‘O son of man; Will these bones live once again?’ And I replied, ‘O Jehovah; O Lord! Only You know the answer to such things!’
Ιεζ. 37:4:Then He told me to prophesy over the bones and say, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 37:5:For, the Lord Jehovah says to these bones, Look, I’ll bring the breath of life upon you;
Ιεζ. 37:6:I will put nerves upon you, and upon you I’ll also put flesh. Over you I’ll stretch skin, and [breathe] My Breath into you… then you’ll live and you’ll know that I am Jehovah.’
Ιεζ. 37:10:O son of man, and tell the wind that thus says Jehovah the Lord: From the four winds send forth breath, then blow into these dead and make them alive!’
Ιεζ. 37:12:So, you must prophesy and then tell them, that thus says Jehovah the Lord: {Look!} I’ll open your tombs and lead you out, and to the land of Israel return you.
Ιεζ. 37:13:Then you will know that I am Jehovah, when I lead you out of your graves, O my people… when I lead you up from your graves!
Ιεζ. 37:14:Then I’ll Breathe on you and you’ll live, and I’ll bring you back to your land. And you will know that I am Jehovah… that I have spoken and acted, says Jehovah!’
Ιεζ. 37:19:‘Then tell them that thus says Jehovah [their] God: {Look!} Through the hand of EphraIm I’ll take the tribe of Joseph, and the tribes of Israel that lie around to him, and appoint them to the tribe of Judah… they will become just one stick… in the hand of Judah they’ll be one.
Ιεζ. 37:21:And then you must tell them that thus says Jehovah: {Look!} I’ll gather the whole house of Israel, from the midst of the nations where they had gone… I will gather them from, all those who had them surrounded, and to the land of Israel, return them.
Ιεζ. 37:28:Then the nations will know that I am Jehovah, when, through the ages, My holy things are in their midst, and I declare them as holy.’
Ιεζ. 38:3:Tell him that thus says Jehovah: {Look!} O ruler of Mosoch, Tubal, and Ros; I am [truly] against you.
Ιεζ. 38:10:‘Then the Lord Jehovah said: And it will be in that day, that [bad] things will enter your heart; you will make wicked plans and you’ll say:
Ιεζ. 38:14:‘Because of this, O son of man, you must now prophecy… tell Gog that thus says Jehovah: In that day; Won’t you rise against Israel My people, who by then will have settled in peace?
Ιεζ. 38:17:‘The Lord Jehovah then said, You are the Gog that I spoke of long ago, by the hand of My servants the Prophets (those who prophesied in those days and years), in order to lead you to against them.
Ιεζ. 38:18:And it will be in that day (in whichever day that Gog will attack), says Jehovah the Lord, that I will ascend in My anger,
Ιεζ. 38:23:‘Then I’ll be magnified and made holy… I’ll be known and glorified among many nations… they will all know that I am Jehovah.’
Ιεζ. 39:1:‘And you, O son of man, must prophesy this against Gog… tell him that thus says Jehovah the Lord: {Look!} I’m against you O Gog, ruler of Mosoch, Tubal, and Ros!
Ιεζ. 39:5:Upon the face of the plains you will fall, for I have spoken, says Jehovah the Lord.
Ιεζ. 39:6:‘Next, I’ll send fire upon Magog, and the islands will then live in peace. For they will know that I am Jehovah,
Ιεζ. 39:8:No more will My Name be profaned, for the nations will know that am Jehovah… I am the Holy One of Israel.
Ιεζ. 39:8:Look, it has come… and you know it will be, says Jehovah the Lord, on this same day that I’ve spoken.
Ιεζ. 39:10:They’ll no longer cut trees in the plains, nor fell trees in the woods… for their fires they’ll just use those weapons. Then they’ll loot all those who once looted them, and despoil all those who despoiled them, says Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 39:13:They’ll be buried by the people of the land, and to them it’ll be a place of renown, for this was the day of My glorification, says Jehovah the Lord.
Ιεζ. 39:17:And you, O son of man, said Jehovah the Lord; You must speak to all the winged creatures, and to all wild beasts of the plains, and tell them to gather and come! Gather from the places round about, [to eat] My sacrifice that I’m offering to you… a great sacrifice on Israel’s mountains… eat all the meat and drink all the blood!
Ιεζ. 39:20:You will be filled from My table, with all their horses and horsemen, as well as their warriors and giants, says Jehovah the Lord.
Ιεζ. 39:22:And then the house of Israel will know, from that day on, that I am Jehovah their God.
Ιεζ. 39:25:Because of this, says Jehovah the Lord, I’ll return the captives of Jacob, and show mercy on the house of Israel… for My Holy Name I’ll be zealous.
Ιεζ. 39:28:Then they will know that I’m Jehovah their God, when among them I appear to the nations, and gather them back to their land, and not abandon them anymore.
Ιεζ. 39:29:From them, no more will I turn My face, for on the house of Israel I’ll have [finished] My rage, says Jehovah the Lord.’
Ιεζ. 40:1:It was in the twenty-fifth year of our captivity, in the first month and on the tenth [day] of the month (fourteen years after the city had been captured), that the hand of Jehovah came upon me
Ιεζ. 42:13:And he said to me: ‘The inner chambers facing the north, and the inner chambers facing the south (that are in front of the spaces), are the Holy-Place rooms where the Priests are to eat, and it’s where, before Jehovah they go, with the holiest of holy things. There they must carry the holiest things – sacrifices and holy things of sin offerings, as well as the offerings for errors – for this is a most holy place.
Ιεζ. 43:4:Then the glory of Jehovah entered the [Temple] by way of the gate that faces east,
Ιεζ. 43:5:and [God’s] Breath picked me up and carried me, bringing me into the inner courtyard, and {Look!} the glory of Jehovah filled the [Temple].
Ιεζ. 43:18:And he said to me, ‘O son of man, Jehovah God now says this: These are My orders for the Altar, in the day that it’s being made, to offer whole burnt-offerings upon it, and to pour upon it the blood.
Ιεζ. 43:19:Appoint Priests among the Levites, from those of the seed of ZaDok, and only they may approach Me, says God Jehovah. Then they must officiate before Me, with [the sacrifice] of a calf from the oxen, to serve as an offering for sins.
Ιεζ. 43:24:then offer them there before Jehovah. But first they must salt them, and then sacrifice them, as [holy] burnt offerings to Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 43:27:And once they’ve completed these days… from the eighth day and beyond, the Priests must then offer upon the Altar, whole-burnt-offerings and the offering for your salvation; and then I’ll receive you, says God Jehovah.’
Ιεζ. 44:2:And the Lord said to me, ‘Now that this gate has been locked, it won’t be opened and no one will enter; only Jehovah (the God of Israel) will enter, and ‘til then it must remain locked.
Ιεζ. 44:4:Then he took me in the direction of the north gate, over against the [Temple], and I looked and saw that the [Temple] of Jehovah was filled with His glory, so I fell to my face.
Ιεζ. 44:6:‘Then you must speak to those who’ve rebelled (those of the house of Israel), and tell them that the Lord Jehovah said this: O house of Israel; Let your lawless deeds now be ended!
Ιεζ. 44:9:So, because of this, says God Jehovah, foreign sons with uncircumcised hearts, as well as uncircumcised flesh, may no longer enter My Holy Places (for no foreigners will be among the house of Israel).
Ιεζ. 44:12:But, because they served the house of Israel, before the faces of their idols; for their unrighteous ways they’ll be punished… this is why I raised My hand against them, says Jehovah the Lord.
Ιεζ. 44:15:For, the Priests of the Levites – the sons of ZaDok – were the only ones who kept watch, as Israel was straying from Me. So, only these may approach Me to serve Me, and they will stand in front of My face, to offer the blood and the fat before Me, says Jehovah the Lord.
Ιεζ. 44:27:On the day that they enter the inner courtyard; in order to serve in My Holy Places, they must bring an atonement [for their sins], says Jehovah [our] God.
Ιεζ. 45:1:‘And as you’re measuring the land they’ll inherit, you must set aside a place in the land, as the first-fruits to Jehovah. Twenty-five thousand long it should be, as well as ten thousand wide; and the area around it will be holy.
Ιεζ. 45:4:And since this land will be holy, a portion will be assigned to the Priests, who will serve within the Holy Place, and for those who approach to serve Jehovah. This will be the place for their homes, for they must be separate and holy.
Ιεζ. 45:9:‘Then Jehovah God said: Let this be enough, O you who are Israel’s guides! Let all misery and unrighteousness be removed… start being righteous and fair! Lift your tyranny off of My people, says Jehovah your God!
Ιεζ. 45:15:And one sheep must be set aside, out of two hundred sheep, among all the families of Israel, as whole burnt-offering sacrifices, and [another] as an offering to cover [your sins], and in order to save you, says Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 45:18:‘Then Jehovah God said: In the first month, and on the first day of each month, you must select a perfect calf from the oxen, in order to atone for the Holy Place.
Ιεζ. 45:23:And during that seven-day holiday, he must offer as whole burnt-offerings to Jehovah, seven calves and seven perfect rams on each day. And for a sin offering he must also sacrifice, a kid of the goats on each day.
Ιεζ. 46:1:‘Then God Jehovah said this: The gate to the inner courtyard (the one that faces the east), must stay locked six days each [week]. But on the Sabbaths it’s to be opened, and it must be opened on every New Moon.
Ιεζ. 46:3:‘Then the people of the land must come and bow to Jehovah, on the Sabbaths and New Moons, at the threshold of that gate.
Ιεζ. 46:9:And when, on holidays, the people of the land, come [to bow] to Jehovah, they should enter by way of the north gate. Then they must bow and leave through the south gate. But those who enter through the south gate, must leave by way of the north gate. They may not return through the gate that they enter, and they must leave straight away.
Ιεζ. 46:12:‘And if he who is guiding should offer, a whole burnt-offering of salvation to Jehovah, the gate facing east must be opened for him. So his whole burnt-offering must be offered, along with the things for his salvation, in the same way he does on the Sabbaths. And after he leaves, they must lock the doors as he exits.
Ιεζ. 46:13:‘He must offer a perfect yearling lamb, as a whole burnt-offering to Jehovah… he must prepare it each day in the morning.
Ιεζ. 46:14:And each morning he must prepare a gift offering, of a sixth of a measure of olive oil, mixed with a third measure of fine flour, as a continuous gift offering to Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 46:16:‘Then Jehovah God said: If the one who is guiding should choose to leave, his inheritance as a gift to his sons, it will become the possession of his sons.
Ιεζ. 47:13:‘Then Jehovah God said: These are the borders of the land; the inheritance of the the sons of Israel’s twelve tribes; for they’ll each be given a piece of measured land.
Ιεζ. 47:23:They’ll live among the tribes that made them converts, along with others who’ve been converted, and an inheritance they must be given, says Jehovah your God.
Ιεζ. 48:9:The First-Fruit must be set aside for Jehovah. It’s twenty thousand wide and ten thousand long.
Ιεζ. 48:14:No part [of this land] may be sold, or measured out to be sold; nor may its first fruits be removed from the land, for it is all holy to Jehovah.
Ιεζ. 48:29:This is the land for which you’ll throw lots, for all of Israel’s tribes; and these are to be their divisions, says Jehovah your God.
Δαν. 1:2:Then Jehovah gave JehoiAkim into his hands, along with part of the things that were in the Temple of Jehovah. So, he carried it all back to the land of Shinar and put it into the treasury of the temple of his god.
Δαν. 3:23:Well, the three (ShadRach, MeShach, and AbedNego) fell into the middle of the blazing furnace with their shackles, but then they started walking around in the midst of the flames praising God and blessing Jehovah.
Δαν. 3:28:Then, right there before them, the king bowed to Jehovah and said, ‘Praise the God of ShadRach, MeShach, and AbedNego, who sent His messenger and rescued His servants that trusted in Him. Why, they changed the word of the king and offered their bodies in fire, because they wouldn’t serve any god other than their God.
Δαν. 4:17:‘Then the messenger said: This is a [revelation] from the Holy One to show everyone alive that Jehovah is above all the kingdoms of men, and that He can give it to whomever He chooses, and appoint any that men view with contempt to be over it.
Δαν. 4:25:‘You will be banished from among men and live among the wild animals of the plains. Then they will feed you grass like an ox, and you will live amidst the dew of the sky. You will be changed for seven times, until you realize that Jehovah is higher than all the kingdoms of men, and He gives it to whomever He wishes.
Δαν. 4:32:For, men will banish you, and you’ll live among the wild animals. They’ll feed you grass like an ox and you’ll be changed for seven times, until you come to know that Jehovah is over the kingdoms of mankind, and He gives it to whomever He wishes.
Δαν. 5:2:And it was while BelShazzar was tasting and drinking the wine that he told [his servants] to bring in the items of gold and silver that his father NebuChadnezzar had taken from the Temple [of Jehovah] in Jerusalem, so that the king, his important men, and his concubines and mistresses could drink from them.
Δαν. 5:23:And you’ve acted haughtily before Jehovah, the God of heaven. For, you’ve had the items from His Temple brought before you, and then you, your important men, and your concubines and mistresses drank wine from them, as you praised your gods of gold, silver, brass, iron, wood, and stone, who can’t see, hear, or know anything. And you failed to glorify the God who holds your breath and everything you are in His hands.
Δαν. 9:2:that I DaniEl came to understand the number of the years from the words that Jehovah had given to the Prophet JeremJah; for there he prophesied that Jerusalem would lie desolate for seventy years.
Δαν. 9:3:So, I turned my face toward Jehovah God to ask Him about this through prayer, supplications, and fasting in sackcloth and ashes.
Δαν. 9:4:I prayed to my God Jehovah, acknowledging Him, and said, ‘O Lord; O great and wonderful God who keeps His Sacred Agreements and who is merciful to those who love Him and keep His Commandments;
Δαν. 9:7:For You, O Jehovah, are just; but for the men of Judah, Jerusalem, and all Israel, there’s just shame today – both those who are near and those who are scattered throughout the whole earth (wherever You have scattered them) – because of their rebellion and annulling their Sacred Agreement with You, O Lord.
Δαν. 9:9:But, from Jehovah our God, there is compassion and forgiveness for our sin of separating ourselves from You, O Lord.
Δαν. 9:10:Because, we haven’t listened to the voice of Jehovah our God, or obeyed His Laws that He gave to us through the hands of His servants the Prophets.
Δαν. 9:13:For, it was written in the Law of Moses that these evils would come upon us if we didn’t search for the face of Jehovah our God, turn from our sins, and see all the things that are true.
Δαν. 9:14:And our God Jehovah is so very concerned about evil, that He has brought our evil ways down upon us. And our God Jehovah is right to do all these things that He’s done, because we haven’t listened to His voice!
Δαν. 9:15:‘Now, O Jehovah, our God who led His people out of the land of Egypt with His mighty hand and made a name for Himself until this day; We have sinned, broken Your Laws, and erred!
Δαν. 9:17:‘O Lord, our God; Listen to the prayer of Your servant and to the things he’s begging; and may Your Face appear in Your Holy Place to those who have been deserted… for the sake [of Your Name], O Jehovah!
Δαν. 9:19:But listen, O Lord, and cover our sins! Act quickly for Your own sake, O my God Jehovah, because Your Name is called upon Your city and upon Your people!’
Δαν. 9:20:Well, it was as I was speaking, praying, confessing my sins and the sins of my people Israel, and throwing my desire for mercy before my God Jehovah concerning His Holy Mountain,
Δαν. 9:25:knowledge will shine through; and [there will be] rejoicing, a turning from unrighteousness, and Jerusalem the City of Jehovah will be rebuilt.
Δαν. 10:12:And he said to me, ‘Don’t be afraid, DaniEl, because; From the first day that you opened your heart to understand and you started [fasting] before Your God Jehovah, your words were heard, and I’ve come to you because of what you said.
Ωσ. 1:1:These are the words of Jehovah that came to Hosea (the son of BeEri) in the days of UzziJah, JoTham, Ahaz, and HezekiJah, the kings of Judah, and in the days of JeroBoam (the son of JoAsh) the king of Israel.
Ωσ. 1:2:This is the beginning of the word of Jehovah by Hosea: The Lord spoke to Hosea and said, ‘Take a woman for yourself from the whores… so that children [can be born] from her whoring; because, by chasing after immoral sex, the land has strayed from Jehovah.’
Ωσ. 1:7:Yet, by the power of Jehovah their God, I will show mercy upon Judah’s sons, and I will bring them salvation. I won’t save by the bow or the broadsword, nor by the battles of horses and horsemen.’
Ωσ. 2:13:‘I will take vengeance upon her, for each day that she sacrificed to the Baals… when she donned her necklaces and earrings… when she forgot Me and chased after lovers,’ says Jehovah.
Ωσ. 2:16:‘And it will be in that day,’ says Jehovah, ‘that she’ll call out to Me, O My husband! No longer will she call to Baal Im.
Ωσ. 2:21:‘And it will be in that day,’ says Jehovah, ‘that I’ll give My attention to the skies, and the skies will give attention to the land.
Ωσ. 2:23:‘I’ll plant her on the earth for Myself, and I’ll love the one that’s unloved. Then I’ll say You’re My people to those who aren’t Mine, and she will say Jehovah’s My God!
Ωσ. 3:1:And the Lord said to me: ‘Go again and love an adulteress, who loves to do what is evil! For, though Jehovah loves the sons of Israel, they look away toward strange gods, and of raisin cakes they’ve become very fond!’
Ωσ. 3:5:‘And after these things are completed, the sons of Israel will return, and they’ll search for Jehovah their God, as well as for David their king. And in the end of the days, over Jehovah they’ll be ecstatic, and over all of His good things.’
Ωσ. 4:1:O sons of Israel; Hear the word of the Lord! For, Jehovah has a case against all who live in the land, because there is no truth and no mercy, and no knowledge of God in the earth.
Ωσ. 4:10:Then they will eat, but never be filled, for they’ve become whores who cannot get straight. They don’t watch [for Me] anymore, because they’ve abandoned Jehovah
Ωσ. 4:16:‘Israel is hot like a heifer in heat, so, Jehovah will feed them as lambs in a feedlot.
Ωσ. 5:4:and they don’t think to turn toward their God. For, the spirit of whoring is among them, and they’ve [forgotten] Jehovah.
Ωσ. 5:6:‘They seek Jehovah with their sheep and their calves, but there’s no way that they follow the Lord, nor will they ever be able to find Him, for from them He’s turned away.
Ωσ. 5:7:They have abandoned Jehovah, and to alien children they’ve given birth. So, now they and all they’d inherit, will be eaten by blight.
Ωσ. 6:1:‘In their affliction they’ll rise early to Me, and then they will say: We should return to Jehovah our God, for He’ll snatch us away and He’ll heal us. He will attack and He’ll dress all our wounds!
Ωσ. 7:10:So the insolence of Israel, will soon bring humility to his face, for they haven’t turned toward Jehovah their God… after all these things happened, they never went looking for Him.
Ωσ. 8:13:And if they sacrifice upon them, and if they should then eat the meat, Jehovah won’t receive them in favor. Their unrighteous ways are what He’ll recall, and for their sins He’ll bring vengeance. For, they have gone back to Egypt,
Ωσ. 9:1:‘So, do not rejoice, O Israel, nor should your people be glad. For, you went whoring against Jehovah your God… you loved the gifts of grain of [a whore], where you laid upon threshing floors.
Ωσ. 9:3:‘For, they didn’t dwell in the land of Jehovah; EphraIm [preferred] dwelling in Egypt, and among the Assyrians ate what’s unclean.
Ωσ. 9:4:They offered no wine as drink to the Lord, or anything delicious before Him. Their sacrifices were as bread of mourning, and all who ate them were defiled. So, their bread may not enter the [Temple] of Jehovah, for [the purpose of saving] their lives.
Ωσ. 9:5:So now; What will you do on your festival days, and on the holiday feasts of Jehovah?
Ωσ. 9:14:Give it to them, O Jehovah! [O Lord], what will you give them? Give them a womb that is childless, as well as breasts that are dry!
Ωσ. 10:3:‘Yet, now they say: We don’t have a king anymore; and we feared the king, not Jehovah, for what can [God] do to us?
Ωσ. 10:12:‘So, [as you sow], sow what is righteous… gather the vintage of the fruitage of life… light the light of knowledge for yourselves… keep on asking of Jehovah, ‘til the offspring of righteousness enters your [hearts]!
Ωσ. 11:10:‘They will [return to] Jehovah, for He will roar like a lion, and startle the children of the sea in the west.
Ωσ. 11:11:They’ll be startled like a bird out of Egypt, and like an Assyrian dove; then I’ll restore them to their homes,’ says Jehovah.
Ωσ. 11:12:‘By EphraIm I was circled with lies, and the irreverence of the houses of Israel and Judah. But they will be known by Jehovah, and be called holy people of God.’
Ωσ. 12:5:It was there that he was then told: As Jehovah the Almighty, I must be remembered.
Ωσ. 12:9:‘I am Jehovah your God; it was I who led you from Egypt; and in tents I’ll again settle you, as in the days of the holiday feast.
Ωσ. 12:13:And by a Prophet of Jehovah, to the land of Egypt Israel was led, and by a Prophet he was protected.
Ωσ. 12:14:‘But EphraIm was enraged… provoked to anger, so his blood will be poured out upon him, as Jehovah repays him for his scorn.’
Ωσ. 13:4:‘But I’m Jehovah your God; it was I who led you from Egypt, and no God beside Me shall you know, for there is no Savior other than Me!
Ωσ. 14:1:‘O Israel; Return to Jehovah your God, for, you have been weakened by your transgressions!
Ωσ. 14:9:‘Who is wise and understands all these things… who [among you can] recognize them? For, the ways of Jehovah are straight, and those who are righteous will live by these ways, as the godless are stumbled by them.’
Ιωήλ 1:1:These are words of Jehovah that came to JoEl the son of BathuEl.
Ιωήλ 1:9:Drink offerings and sacrifices have been removed, from the [Temple] of Jehovah. So, mourn O Priests (O you who serve at the Altar),
Ιωήλ 1:14:So, call for a time of holy fasting; proclaim a time of sacred service! Gather the elders and the [people] of the land, to the [Temple] of Jehovah your God, then fervently call to the Lord!
Ιωήλ 1:19:So, we’ll call out to You, O Jehovah, for fire has consumed the beauty of desert patures, and its flames have burned all the trees of the fields.
Ιωήλ 2:12:‘Now, run,’ says Jehovah our God! ‘Return to Me with your whole hearts, fasting, weeping, and beating your chests!’
Ιωήλ 2:13:Tear your hearts not your clothes, and turn to Jehovah your God! For, He shows mercy and pity… He is forgiving and full of mercy, [overlooking] the bad things we’ve done.
Ιωήλ 2:14:Why, who knows if He’ll reconsider, then change His plans and bless you instead. So, you should bring sacrifices, and drink offerings to Jehovah our God!
Ιωήλ 2:17:At the base of the Altar the Priests will all weep (those who serve before Jehovah). They’ll say: ‘Spare Your people, O Lord! Don’t give Your people to be scorned, and to be ruled by the nations! So, those of the nations won’t ask, O, where now is your God?
Ιωήλ 2:18:But Jehovah was jealous for His land, and He [showed mercy to] His people.
Ιωήλ 2:19:Jehovah replied to His people and said: ‘Look! I’ll send enough grain to fill you, as well as wine and olive oil… you’ll not be scorned by the nations again!
Ιωήλ 2:23:Be glad, O children of Zion, and rejoice in Jehovah your God, for righteousness He’s provided as food; He’ll bring both the early and late rains, as He has done in the past,
Ιωήλ 2:27:And you will then come to know, O Israel, that I am here in your midst… yes Me, Jehovah your God, and other than Me there’s no other! For, My people won’t be disgraced through the age!
Ιωήλ 2:32:‘And all those then will be saved, who have called on the Name of the Lord,’ said Jehovah. ‘For, in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, there will come one who can rescue, announcing good news to all those, who have been called by Jehovah.’
Ιωήλ 3:8:Then I’ll give your sons and your daughters, to the sons of the Jews. They will then take them as captives, to many far away nations; for I Jehovah have spoken.
Ιωήλ 3:17:And then you will know, that I am Jehovah your God! For, I’ll camp upon Zion, My Holy Mountain, and then Jerusalem will be holy… foreigners will pass through her no longer.
Ιωήλ 3:21:I’ll avenge all the blood that I’ve not avenged, and Jehovah will then camp in Zion.’
Άμ. 1:2:[The Lord] said: ‘Jehovah spoke out of Zion, and from Jerusalem He sent out His voice. For, over the pastures of the shepherds He mourned, and for the drought on [Mount] Carmel.’
Άμ. 1:5:I’ll break the bars [of the gates] of Damascus, and those in On’s plains I’ll destroy. The tribe of the men of Edem, I will now cut to pieces, and the best Assyrian men will be captured, says Jehovah.’
Άμ. 1:8:I’ll also destroy those living in AshDod, and from AshKelon I’ll remove a whole tribe. I will bring My hand against Ekron, and destroy the remaining Philistines, says Jehovah.’
Άμ. 1:15:And into captivity I’ll send her king, along with her rulers and priests, says Jehovah.’
Άμ. 2:3:I’ll destroy her judges and all of her rulers… yes, I’ll kill them, says Jehovah.’
Άμ. 2:4:And the Lord said: ‘Because of the three godless deeds, of [the descendants] of Judah (and even four), I won’t turn [My] attention from them. For, they pushed [aside] the Law of Jehovah, and His orders they didn’t follow. So, I will cause them to wander, after the vain idols that they’ve made… those which they’ve followed [since the time of] their fathers.
Άμ. 2:11:Then I took your sons as [My] Prophets, and your young men as My Holy Ones. O sons of Israel; Aren’t these things so, asks Jehovah?
Άμ. 2:16:and the strong won’t find their hearts mighty… they’ll be chased away naked in that day, says Jehovah.’
Άμ. 3:6:Will the sound of the trumpet be heard in the city, without bringing terror to the people? No! Will harm come to a city, if it’s not done by Jehovah? No!
Άμ. 3:7:‘There’s nothing that God Jehovah will do, unless it’s revealed to His servants the Prophets.
Άμ. 3:8:So, as a lion roars and all who hear fear it; when Jehovah God speaks who’ll fail to prophesy?
Άμ. 3:10:Yet, they don’t [see] what will befall her, says Jehovah; for injustice and misery are treasured in that place.
Άμ. 3:11:It’s because of this, says God Jehovah, that Tyre and all that’s around it, will soon become a desolation. For, I’ll remove all their strength, and then tear all their regions to pieces!
Άμ. 3:12:Jehovah says: As a shepherd will pull from the mouth of a lion, two legs or part of an ear, so the sons of Israel will be ripped (those dwelling in Samaria and Damascus), before a tribe that they do not know.
Άμ. 3:13:Hear this, O priests, then to the house of Jacob proclaim it, says Jehovah God the Almighty!
Άμ. 3:15:I will confuse them and then. I’ll strike the turrets on their barns, where their harvests are stored, and destroy all their ivory houses, as well as the homes [that surround them], says Jehovah.’
Άμ. 4:3:You’ll be led away naked in lines, and they’ll throw [your bones] on Mount Hermon, says Jehovah.
Άμ. 4:5:Then they read outside of the Law, and called for an offering of confession. So, you must now announce this to them: Because sons of Israel have loved such things, says Jehovah,
Άμ. 4:6:to your cities I’ll send toothaches; I’ll send shortages of bread to all of your places, for you left Me and did not return, says Jehovah.
Άμ. 4:8:So, the residents of two or three cities, will come to one city to drink their water, but there’s no way that they will be filled. For, to Me you did not return, says Jehovah.
Άμ. 4:9:So, I struck you with jaundice and fire, and though you multiplied gardens and vineyards, as well as groves of olives and figs, by caterpillars they were devoured. Yet, to Me you did not return, says Jehovah.
Άμ. 4:10:From Egypt I sent you a plague; I killed your young men by the sword, and took away all of your horses. Because of your rage I sent fire to your camps, yet to Me you did not return, says Jehovah.
Άμ. 4:11:I wiped you away [like] Sodom and GomorRah, and you became as coals that are pulled from the flames, yet to Me you did not return, says Jehovah.
Άμ. 4:13:‘{Look!} I brought the thunder and I made the wind; and I report to men of His caring. For He produces the dawn and the fog, and is mounted on the heights of the earth… His Name is Jehovah God the Almighty!’
Άμ. 5:1:Hear the word of Jehovah, for He has this lamentation against you: ‘The house of Israel fell, And never again will it rise.
Άμ. 5:3:‘For, thus says Jehovah [her] God: ‘From the city that a thousand had left, Only a hundred [will return]; And the town from which left a hundred, Ten from Israel’s house will return.
Άμ. 5:4:‘For, thus says Jehovah to the house of Israel:
Άμ. 5:6:‘So, inquire of Jehovah and live, as the house of Joseph has done, so you will not have to be burned! For, it will come and consume him, and there’ll be no one to douse Israel’s fire.
Άμ. 5:8:He’s the One who made it all, and it’s He who made everything different. It’s He who turns shadows into morning, and the day into darkness of night; It is He who calls the water of the seas, and pours them upon the face of the ground… Jehovah God the Almighty is His Name.
Άμ. 5:14:‘So now; Ask for the good not the bad, that you will be able to live… for Jehovah the Almighty to be with you! For, He’ll provide the things you request, when you are willing to say:
Άμ. 5:15:We detest all the bad things, and we love what is good! ‘Just return justice to your [city] gates, so Jehovah God the Almighty, may show mercy on the remnants of Joseph.
Άμ. 5:16:It’s because of this, says Jehovah God the Almighty; In all your squares you’ll be beating your chests, and saying in your streets, Woe [is me]! The farmers will be called to do mourning… they’ll beat on their chests and they’ll wail.
Άμ. 5:17:For they’ll know all the ways to beat on their chests, because I will go through your midst, says Jehovah.
Άμ. 5:18:‘Woe to those wanting the Day of Jehovah, for, then they will ask: What does this mean… the Day of the Lord? Why, it brought to us darkness not light!
Άμ. 5:20:So the Day of Jehovah brings darkness not light… it will bring dimness not brightness!
Άμ. 5:27:So, beyond Damascus I’ll displace you, says God… Jehovah the Almighty is His Name.’
Άμ. 6:8:Jehovah swore an oath by Himself. He said, Because I abhor all the insults of Jacob, and I have detested his fortified cities, I will lift them away, along with all who are in them.
Άμ. 6:11:For, {Look!) it was Jehovah who gave the order, and He struck their mansions with fractures, as the small houses were torn into pieces.
Άμ. 7:7:Then the Lord [took me] and showed me, and {Look!} there was Jehovah standing upon a straight wall holding a plumb line in His hand.
Άμ. 7:16:‘So now, listen to the words of Jehovah! You’ve warned me not to prophecy over Israel, and you’ve said, There’s no way that armies will be led against the house of Jacob.
Άμ. 7:17:It’s because of this that Jehovah said, Your wife will become a city whore, and your sons and daughters will fall by the sword. Then your land will be measured with a plumb line, and you’ll come to your end in a land that’s unclean. Then Israel will be led as captives from his land.’
Άμ. 8:3:So, there will be screaming in the stock pens, in their temple in that day, says Jehovah. For there many will fall… then everywhere I will bring silence.
Άμ. 8:7:Jehovah swore this oath about Jacob’s pride: Will all of this be forgotten? Will all that they’ve done be victorious? No!
Άμ. 8:9:And it will be in that day, says Jehovah, that the sun will set at midday, and the land will be darkened in daylight.
Άμ. 8:11:{Look!} The days are coming, says Jehovah, when I will send famine to the land. It won’t be a famine of bread loaves, nor a famine of water, but a famine of hearing the word of Jehovah.
Άμ. 8:12:Then, from sea to sea the waters will shake. And from north to east they will run, seeking the word of Jehovah. But in no way, will it be found.
Άμ. 9:5:‘The Lord God, Jehovah the Almighty, has grabbed the land in order to shake it. Then all who dwell there will mourn, for it will rise and fall like the Nile.
Άμ. 9:6:‘Says He who built His ascent in the skies, and gave a promise when founding the earth… He who calls to the waters of the sea, and then pours them out on the land (Jehovah [the Almighty] is His Name):
Άμ. 9:7:Are you like the sons of Ethiopia to Me, O the sons of Israel, asks Jehovah? Did I not lead Israel out of Egypt, or the Philistines out of Cappadocia, and the Syrians from out of the pit?
Άμ. 9:8:{Look!} My eyes watch the kingdoms of sinners, so I’ll remove them from the face of the earth. But the ones that I won’t completely remove, is the house of Jacob, says Jehovah.
Άμ. 9:12:so those who remain of the nations, may inquire of those who have called on My Name, says Jehovah… He who will do all these things.
Άμ. 9:13:{Look!} The days are coming, says Jehovah, when the harvest will overtake the threshing, and the grapes will [ripen] during planting. Sweetness will trickle from the mountains, and all the hills will be planted.
Άμ. 9:15:In their own land I will plant them, and they’ll not be plucked from the land that I gave them, says Jehovah [our] God.’
Άβδ. 1:1:This is the vision of ObadiJah.  Jehovah God said to Edom (I heard this report from Jehovah, and it’s a summary of what He sent to the nations)… He said, ‘Get up and rise against her in battle!
Άβδ. 1:4:‘But if you should fly as high as an eagle, and put your nest high among stars, from there I’ll lead you down,’ says Jehovah.
Άβδ. 1:8:‘So, in that day,’ says Jehovah, ‘I will destroy all the wise [men] of Edom, and from the mountains of Esau, all understanding will be gone.
Άβδ. 1:18:For, though there’ll be fire within Jacob’s house, and flames in the house of Joseph, the house of Esau will be just like stubble, and among them fire will burn and consume… for Esau’s house there’ll be no wheat harvest, for I, Jehovah, have spoken.
Άβδ. 1:21:While those from Mount Zion who are rescued, will go to take vengeance on the mountains of Esau, and their kingdom will belong to Jehovah.’
Ιων. 1:1:The word of Jehovah came to JonAh (the son of AmitTai) saying:
Ιων. 1:3:But Jonah got up to flee from the face of Jehovah, to Tharsis. So he went down to Joppa and found a boat that was sailing to Tharsis, paid his fare, boarded, and preceded to sail away from the face of Jehovah to Tharsis.
Ιων. 1:4:Then Jehovah raised a wind upon the sea that created huge swells, and [soon] the boat was in danger of breaking up.
Ιων. 1:9:Then he told them, ‘I am a servant of Jehovah the God of the heavens… I worship the One who made the sea and dry land.’
Ιων. 1:14:So they yelled out to Jehovah and said, ‘Please don’t destroy us over the life of this man, because we don’t want the blood of the righteous held against us! But for You, O Lord, we will do whatever You want.’
Ιων. 1:16:So, the men became very fearful of Jehovah, and they made vows to Him and offered sacrifices to Him.
Ιων. 1:17:Then Jehovah ordered a great sea creature to swallow Jonah, and he stayed in its belly for three days and three nights.
Ιων. 2:1:Then Jonah prayed to Jehovah his God from out of the belly of the sea creature.
Ιων. 2:2:He said: ‘In my affliction I yelled, to Jehovah my God, And He paid attention to me. I cried from the belly of the place of the dead, And then to my voice You did listen!
Ιων. 2:6:‘I went down through the fissures of mountains; Into the earth and its bars of the ages. O Jehovah my God; Allow my life to ascend from corruption!
Ιων. 2:7:‘My life came so close to [ending], And then I remembered Jehovah… My prayers reached up to You, In Your Temple most holy!
Ιων. 2:9:But I will offer You praise with my voice, And sacrifice in acknowledgment of You. All that I’ve vowed I will render to You, For my salvation by You, O Jehovah!’
Ιων. 2:10:Then Jehovah gave orders to the large sea creature, and it vomited Jonah out on dry land.
Ιων. 3:1:Then the word of Jehovah came to JonAh a second time, saying,
Ιων. 3:3:So, JonAh got up and went to Nineveh, just as Jehovah had told him (for God considered Nineveh a great city), and it took him three days to get there.
Ιων. 4:2:so he prayed to Jehovah and said, ‘O Lord; Were these not my words when I was back in my own land? It was because of something like this that I thought about fleeing to Tharsis! For, I knew that You are kind, sympathetic, lenient, and full of mercy, and that You’d change Your mind about doing such evil.
Ιων. 4:4:And Jehovah asked, ‘Has this [really] grieved you so much?’
Ιων. 4:6:Then Jehovah God provided a gourd [plant] that grew up over JonAh’s head to provide him shade (to shade him in this bad [time]). And JonAh became very happy and joyful over the gourd [plant].
Ιων. 4:10:And Jehovah said, ‘You treated the gourd plant so tenderly, yet you didn’t work hard or feed it… it just grew up during one night, and then the next night it had perished.
Μιχ. 1:2:‘Hear, O peoples these words! Also, pay attention O earth, and all of you who live on it! For, God Jehovah will witness against you, from out of His Holy [Temple].
Μιχ. 1:3:{Look!} Jehovah will come from His place; He’ll come down and mount the heights of the earth,
Μιχ. 1:12:‘But who acted kindly when she was in grief? For, the bad that had come to Jerusalem’s gates, had really come from Jehovah.
Μιχ. 2:3:It’s because of this that thus says Jehovah: ‘{Look!} Against their tribe I’ll bring bad things, so there’s no way that they’ll lift their necks, and no way will they walk erect, for now is a time of great evil.
Μιχ. 2:5:‘Then none will measure allotments, Among the gathering of Jehovah.
Μιχ. 2:7:‘It will then be said about them: ‘The house of Jacob provoked, The Spirit of Jehovah to rage! For, isn’t this how He does things… Aren’t His words good and all His ways straight?
Μιχ. 2:13:They’ll [run] though the breach that’s before them, for the gate will be cut so they can escape. Then before them will travel their king, and Jehovah will be their [true] leader.’
Μιχ. 3:4:‘Then to Jehovah they’ll cry, but He will not listen to them. He’ll turn His face in that time, because they were wicked in all that they did.’
Μιχ. 3:5:Thus says Jehovah concerning their prophets… to those misleading His people… those clenching their teeth as they proclaim peace, when no [words] were put in their mouths… and then holy war came upon them.
Μιχ. 3:8:But I wll be filled with the strength, and the Breath of Jehovah, as well as His justice and might, so I can report the irreverence of Jacob, and speak to Israel of his sins.
Μιχ. 3:11:For, her leaders accept bribes when they judge; her priests ask a wage for their replies; and her prophets ask for silver to tell of the future. Yet, they still rest on the Lord and they say, Isn’t Jehovah among us? There’s no way He’ll bring bad things upon us!
Μιχ. 4:1:‘But, in the last days, the Mountain of Jehovah will be seen, sitting on the tops of the mountains, raised higher than all of the hills, and to it all peoples will run.
Μιχ. 4:2:Many nations will go there and say, Come, let’s ascend the Mountain of Jehovah, and enter the [Temple] of Jacob’s God. Then they will show us His ways, and we will walk in His roads. ‘For, out of Zion will come Law, and from Jerusalem the Word of Jehovah!
Μιχ. 4:4:‘Then, under his grapevine each one will rest, and beneath his own fig tree; for no one will make them afraid… this came from the mouth of Jehovah the Almighty.
Μιχ. 4:5:‘Then all the peoples will go their own way, but in the Name of Jehovah our God we will walk, from now and into the ages.
Μιχ. 4:6:‘In that day,’ says Jehovah; ‘I will gather she who was broken, and she who was [once] pushed away… those I pushed away I will accept.
Μιχ. 4:7:I’ll accept she who was broken, and make her I pushed away a great nation. Upon them Jehovah will reign from Mount Zion, from now and into the ages.
Μιχ. 4:10:But, hang on and take courage O daughter of Zion, as [a woman who’s about to] give birth! For, what’s coming to you is a city, which will encamp in your plains; then into Babylon you’ll be taken. But from there your God Jehovah will save you, and ransom you from your enemy’s hands.
Μιχ. 4:12:‘Yet, they don’t know the ways of Jehovah, and His council they don’t understand. For, like sheaves [of grain] He’s gathering them, [and piling them on] a threshing floor.
Μιχ. 4:13:So, get up and thresh them, O daughter of Zion! For, I’ll turn your horns into iron, and your hoofs into brass. I will dissolve many peoples, then you’ll present their abundance to Jehovah, and their strength to the Lord of the earth.’
Μιχ. 5:4:Then he will arise and shepherd them all, in the strength of Jehovah. They’ll bask in the glory of the Name of their God, and He’ll be known to the ends of the earth.
Μιχ. 5:7:‘And the few remaining of Jacob, will be in the midst of many peoples. But, as the dew falls from Jehovah, and as the lambs [feed] on wild grass, they will be gathered by no one, nor among sons of men will they stand.
Μιχ. 5:10:‘But, [before] that day,’ says Jehovah, ‘I’ll destroy all the horses from your midst, and I will destroy all your chariots.
Μιχ. 6:1:Hear indeed what Jehovah has said! Rise up and plead with the mountains, and let all the hills hear your voice!
Μιχ. 6:2:Hear, O mountains, the judgment of God… you ravines and foundations of earth! For, there’s a case between Jehovah and His people… yes with Israel He will contend.
Μιχ. 6:5:‘O My people; Remember what Balak (the king of Moab), had once planned against you, and the answers he was given by BalaAm (son of BeOr), from the bulrushes to Gilgal… so the righteousness of Jehovah would be known:
Μιχ. 6:6:‘How could I conquer Jehovah? Can I take hold of My God in the heights? With whole burnt-offerings can I overcome Him… With calves that are a year old? No!
Μιχ. 6:7:‘Will Jehovah [be swayed] by a thousand male sheep, Or ten thousand hearty winter yearlings? No! Could I offer my first-born for my sins? No! Or the fruit of my belly for the irreverence of my soul? No!
Μιχ. 6:8:‘To you He’s explained it, O man… All the things that are good, and what Jehovah requires from you… He wants you to be fair and love mercy, And to be prepared to walk with your God.
Μιχ. 6:9:‘The voice of Jehovah will call in the city, And He’ll save all those who are fearing His Name. ‘So, now hear this, O you tribes: ‘Will you bring adornment to the city?
Μιχ. 7:7:But I will look to my Lord; I’ll wait on my Savior Jehovah, And my God will listen to me.
Μιχ. 7:9:I will endure the rage of Jehovah (For I have also sinned against Him), Until He [brings] justice to my [case], And until He brings me my judgment. For, into the light He will lead me. Then I will see His just ways,
Μιχ. 7:10:And my enemies will also look upon them, And he who sees my shame will then ask: ‘Where is Jehovah your God?’ ‘I’ll examine her with my eyes, Then she will be trampled like mud in the road…
Ναούμ 1:2:Because He is zealous, Jehovah will punish… the Lord will punish in His rage. Jehovah will punish His opponents, and all of His enemies remove.
Ναούμ 1:3:Jehovah is patient and has great strength, but the [guilty] [He] will not acquit. His ways are rumbling and final, and the clouds are as dust under His feet.
Ναούμ 1:7:Yet, Jehovah is gentle to all those who’ll wait, for Him [to act] in their day of affliction, and He knows all those who deeply respect Him.
Ναούμ 1:9:What plans can you make against Jehovah? For, He Himself brings destruction. Yet, He will not punish twice, or bring affliction for the same [errors].
Ναούμ 1:11:Against Jehovah you have planned… wicked things you’ve plotted against Him.
Ναούμ 1:12:So, thus says Jehovah who rules many waters, ‘They will now be sent away, and not be heard from again.
Ναούμ 1:14:It was concerning you that Jehovah said this: ‘Your name will no longer be mentioned, in the [Temple] of your God; for, I’ll destroy all your idols (those that are molded and carved), then a time to bury you will be set, and it will come very soon.’
Ναούμ 2:2:For, the insolence of Jacob Jehovah’s removed, and the insolence of Israel; for those who shake off, shook them off, and the [leaves] on their branches they ruined.
Ναούμ 2:13:‘Look, I am against you,’ says Jehovah the Almighty, ‘and all your army I’ll burn into smoke. Your lions I’ll devour by the broadsword, and I’ll destroy the game from your land, so the things that you do won’t be heard of again.’
Ναούμ 3:5:So, Look! I am against you,’ says Jehovah the Almighty, ‘and I will uncover your backside, then show all the nations your shame, and your dishonor to all other kingdoms!
Αββ. 1:12:O Jehovah; Are You not from days of long ago,? Aren’t You my God and my Holy One? There’s no way, O Lord, that we should die. Yet, You have ordered up justice, and for discipline and correction You have shaped me.
Αββ. 2:2:Then to me Jehovah replied. He said: ‘Clearly write down this vision, so those who read may be able to soar.
Αββ. 2:13:‘Is it not from Jehovah the Almighty, That people have fallen in the fire, And nations have been so faint-hearted?
Αββ. 2:14:Yet, with the knowledge and the glory of Jehovah, All the earth will be filled… As the waters that cover the seas.
Αββ. 2:16:Drink deeply to the glory of dishonor, And then get extremely excited! ‘But, the cup in Jehovah’s right hand, Has you completely surrounded, And it will dishonor your glory.
Αββ. 2:20:‘But Jehovah is in His Holy Temple, So, bow low before Him all the earth!’
Αββ. 3:2:O Lord; I heard Your report and I was afraid. O Jehovah; I thought of your works and was shaken. You stand between the two beasts, And in years that come all will know You… In the time now at hand You’ll be seen. When my life is disturbed ([in times of] great wrath), You’ll think of [me] and show mercy.
Αββ. 3:9:For, Jehovah [gives orders to] ‘Stretch out… Against their tents stretch your bows!’ PAUSE You’ll divide the earth up with rivers!
Αββ. 3:18:Yet, joyfully I’ll shout to Jehovah; I’ll rejoice over my Savior God!
Αββ. 3:19:For, Jehovah God is my power, And straight paths He’s set for my feet. Upon on high places He’ll set me, As by His song I will conquer.
Σοφ. 1:1:These are the words of Jehovah that came to ZephaniJah (the son of Cushi, grandson of GedaliJah, and great-grandson of AmariJah, the son of HezekiJah) in the days of JosiJah (the son of Amon) the king of Judah.
Σοφ. 1:2:‘When it comes to being in want, let all on the face of the earth be in want,’ says Jehovah!
Σοφ. 1:3:‘Let men and cattle be in want; let things that fly in the sky be in want, as well as the fish in the sea. May the irreverent all become ill… because of their lawless deeds, from the land I’ll remove them,’ says Jehovah.
Σοφ. 1:6:those who have turned from Jehovah, and those not seeking the Lord… all those who haven’t stuck close.
Σοφ. 1:7:‘Be cautious in the presence of Jehovah [our] God, for the Day of the Lord is now near! Jehovah has readied His [great] sacrifice, and His Chosen One He’s made holy.
Σοφ. 1:9:‘When I take vengeance, you will see it, for it will come to their gates in that day, and upon those who are filling the [Temple], of Jehovah their God, with their treachery and irreverence.
Σοφ. 1:10:‘And it will be in that day,’ says Jehovah, ‘that there’ll come the sounds of cries from the gates… [the sounds] of men being stabbed through, and shrieks of women in the second quarter, as well as great battles in the hills.’
Σοφ. 1:12:‘And in that day; I will search through Jerusalem with a lamp, and take vengeance upon all the men, who’ve paid no attention to My instructions, and those who say in their hearts, Jehovah won’t do either evil or good!
Σοφ. 1:14:‘The Lord’s Great Day is now near, and it comes very quickly! The sounds of the Day of Jehovah, are ordered to be bitter and harsh.
Σοφ. 1:17:For I will squeeze out the men, and they will walk like the blind, for against Jehovah they’ve sinned. ‘So, He’ll pour out their blood like the dust, and [pour] their flesh out like dung.
Σοφ. 2:2:before you this day will pass like a flower… before Jehovah’s wrath comes upon you… before the Day of the Lord’s wrath and rage.
Σοφ. 2:7:And for those who live in the land by the sea (those who are left of Judah’s house); in AshKelon’s homes sheep will pasture; and in the afternoons they will rest there. Then Jehovah will visit Judah’s sons, and from captivity He’ll return them.
Σοφ. 2:9:Because of this, as I live,’ says Israel’s God, Jehovah of armies; ‘Moab will soon be like Sodom, and the sons of Ammon like GomorRah. Damascus will also come to its end, and be heaps of salt through the age! They’ll be plundered by the remnants of My people, and be inherited by what’s left of My nation.
Σοφ. 2:10:This will happen because of their insolence… because they berated and held themselves high, over Jehovah the Almighty.
Σοφ. 3:2:She wouldn’t listen to Your voice, and Your instructions she failed to follow… upon Jehovah she wouldn’t rely… she refused to return to her God.
Σοφ. 3:5:‘But in her midst Jehovah is righteous, and no way will He do what’s unjust. Each morning He brings justice and light… nothing is hidden before Him. He doesn’t take to injustice, or injustice that’s brought on by fights.
Σοφ. 3:7:‘I told you to fear Me and do as I say, and then you’d not be destroyed. So, prepare for the vengeance I’m bringing upon her… and it’s best to rise early, for even her gleanings will be ruined,’ says Jehovah.
Σοφ. 3:15:For, Jehovah has removed your offenses, and ransomed you from your enemy’s hands. Jehovah (the King of Israel) is in your midst, so you’ll not see bad things anymore!
Σοφ. 3:16:‘To Jerusalem, Jehovah will say in that time, Be courageous O Zion, and don’t let your hands become weary!
Σοφ. 3:17:For, Jehovah your God is among you… the Mighty One will bring you salvation! He will bring gladness among you, and in His affection revive you; He’ll be glad over you with delight, as [He is] in the days of your holiday feasts.
Σοφ. 3:20:For, her enemies will all be disgraced in that time, and whatever you think good I will do; for, in that time I’ll take you back, and make you famous and a reason to boast, among all the peoples of the earth; when, before their eyes I return you, from your captivity,’ says Jehovah.
Αγγ. 1:1:In the second year [of the reign] of King Darius, in the sixth month, and on the first day of the month, the word of Jehovah came by the hand of HagGai the Prophet, saying, ‘Speak to ZerubBabel the son of ShealtiEl, from the [great] tribe of Judah, and to JoShua (son of JoZadek) the High Priest, and tell them
Αγγ. 1:2:that Jehovah the Almighty says this: These people say that the time isn’t right, to rebuild the House of Jehovah.’
Αγγ. 1:5:And now, says Jehovah the Almighty; set your hearts on your ways!
Αγγ. 1:7:‘Thus says Jehovah the Almighty: Now set your hearts on your ways!
Αγγ. 1:8:You must climb the mountains to cut the wood, with which you must build [My Temple]. For of this I will think well, and it will bring glory to Me, said Jehovah.
Αγγ. 1:9:You look for much [but find] little; and then you carry it home, but I just blow it away. This happens, says Jehovah the Almighty, because My House is deserted, while you each pursue your own homes…
Αγγ. 1:12:Well, ZerubBabel (the son of ShealtiEl) from the tribe of Judah, and JoShua (the son of JoZadek) the High Priest, and all the rest of the people listened to the voice of Jehovah their God and to the words of HagGai the Prophet, and to all [the words] that Jehovah their God had sent to them. And the people became fearful before Jehovah.
Αγγ. 1:13:Then HagGai, one of the messengers of Jehovah, said to the people: ‘Jehovah says, I am with you!
Αγγ. 1:14:Thereafter, Jehovah awakened the spirit of ZerubBabel (the son of ShealtiEl) from the tribe of Judah, the spirit of JoShua (the son of JoZadek) the High Priest, and the spirit of the rest of the people, and they went to work on the [Temple] of their God, Jehovah the Almighty.
Αγγ. 2:1:It was in the seventh month and on the twenty-first day of the month that the word of Jehovah came by the hand of HagGai the Prophet. He said,
Αγγ. 2:4:So, now be strong, O ZerubBabel, says Jehovah; and High Priest Joshua, you be strong too… be strong all you people of the land, because now you must take some action,’ says Jehovah! ‘For I am with you, says the Almighty Jehovah.
Αγγ. 2:6:For, thus says Jehovah the Almighty: Once more I will shake the earth and the sky, as well as the sea and dry land…
Αγγ. 2:7:and I will shake all the nations. Then My chosen ones will return from all nations, and I’ll fill this [Temple] with glory, says Jehovah the Almighty.
Αγγ. 2:8:All the silver is Mine, and all the gold is Mine too, says Jehovah the Almighty.
Αγγ. 2:9:And great will be this [Temple’s] glory, for the last will be greater than the first, says Jehovah the Almighty. And to this place I’ll bring peace… says Jehovah the Almighty; peace for the procurement of life, to all who’ll arise to rebuild this Temple.’
Αγγ. 2:10:Then on the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month of the second year of Darius, these words came from Jehovah to HagGai the Prophet. He told them that
Αγγ. 2:11:Jehovah the Almighty said: ‘Indeed, ask the Priests concerning the Law,
Αγγ. 2:14:Then HagGai answered and said, ‘So it will be of this people, and so it will be of this nation before Me, says Jehovah. It will be so of the works of their hands… whoever should go there will be defiled, if they show more concern for their chores. For their wicked ways they will grieve, because they’ve hated all those, who at their gates have reproved them.
Αγγ. 2:15:‘So now; take [this message] to your hearts from this day, before laying stone upon stone, within this Temple of Jehovah:
Αγγ. 2:17:Well, it was I who had struck you, with a lack of production, and the works of your hands with strong winds and hail, for to Me you didn’t return, says Jehovah.’
Αγγ. 2:23:In that day, says Jehovah the Almighty, I’ll take you O ZerubBabel, (son of ShealtiEl) My servant, says Jehovah, and I’ll set you up as a seal. For I’ve chosen you, says Jehovah the Almighty.’
Ζαχ. 1:2:Jehovah was provoked by your fathers, and [driven] into great rage,
Ζαχ. 1:3:so tell them that thus says Jehovah of Armies: Turn to Me, says Jehovah of Armies, and then I’ll turn back to you.
Ζαχ. 1:4:Do not become like your fathers, those whom the Prophets accused. For, they’d come beforehand and warned them… they said that Jehovah of Armies had told them, to turn from their wicked ways, and from the bad things that they did. But, they just paid no attention, and they wouldn’t listen to Me, says Jehovah.
Ζαχ. 1:6:Yet, you have My words and My Law… all that I sent by My Breath, through My servants the Prophets… those who were seized by your fathers. For, they answered [the Prophets] and said, Whatever Jehovah of Armies planned to do, to us for our sins and our ways, He has already done.’
Ζαχ. 1:10:Then the man who was standing in the midst of the mountains spoke to me and said: ‘These are those whom Jehovah sent out, to travel about in the land.’
Ζαχ. 1:11:Then these ones who were standing between the mountains said to the messenger of Jehovah: ‘We have traveled throughout the whole land, and {Look!} all the land is tranquil and lived in.’
Ζαχ. 1:12:And the messenger of Jehovah said: ‘O Jehovah of Armies, how long will you fail to show mercy, upon Jerusalem and the cities of Judah? For this is the seventieth year of Your rage.’
Ζαχ. 1:13:And Jehovah replied to the messenger, ‘You, the one who is speaking to Me, bring him good words that bring comfort.’
Ζαχ. 1:14:Then the messenger spoke to me and said, ‘Shout aloud! For, thus says Jehovah the Almighty: Over Jerusalem I’m zealous, and I have great zeal over Zion!
Ζαχ. 1:16:And because of this, says Jehovah, to Jerusalem I’ll turn in compassion, and My Temple will then be rebuilt there, says Jehovah of Armies. So, upon Jerusalem a line will be stretched.’
Ζαχ. 1:17:[And the messenger then told me], ‘Shout out loud once again! For, Jehovah of Armies said this: To her cities good things will be sent, for Jehovah will show mercy on Zion, and Jerusalem is still His chosen one!’
Ζαχ. 1:21:And I asked, ‘What have these come to do?’ Then he replied to Me, saying, ‘Since those horns did the scattering of Judah, and they also broke Israel, so none could then raise their heads. So, they’ve come to [throw down] those horns with their hands… those horns which the nations have raised, to scatter the land of Jehovah.’
Ζαχ. 2:5:And [tell him] that Jehovah says this: I’ll be a wall of fire to surround her, and I’ll be the glory in her midst.
Ζαχ. 2:6:O flee from the land of the north, says Jehovah, for, I’ll gather you from the four winds, said the Lord.
Ζαχ. 2:8:Then [the messenger said]: ‘I was sent to the nations by Jehovah, in order to bring back your glory, from all of those who had sacked you. For, those who have chosen to touch you, are touching the pupil of His eye.
Ζαχ. 2:9:‘So, {Look!} against them I’ll raise my hand, and they’ll be the spoils of all those who served them. And then you surely will know, that I was sent by Jehovah the Almighty.
Ζαχ. 2:11:‘And in that day many nations will come, to take refuge in Jehovah, and [to join with] His people. Then I will camp in your midst, and you’ll know that Jehovah the Almighty, was the [One] who sent me to you.
Ζαχ. 2:12:‘Then Judah will be the inheritance of Jehovah (His portion within the holy land), for, Jerusalem is still His chosen one.
Ζαχ. 2:13:So, let all flesh bow to Jehovah, for from His holy cloud He’s awakened.’
Ζαχ. 3:1:Then the Lord showed me JoShua the High Priest. And standing before him was the messenger of Jehovah; but the Slanderer was standing to his right, serving as an enemy against him.
Ζαχ. 3:2:Then [the messenger] of Jehovah said to the Slanderer, ‘O Slanderer; May Jehovah bring reproaches against you… may the Lord who chose Jerusalem, bring reproaches upon you! Why, isn’t [this man] like a coal, that has been snatched from the fire?’
Ζαχ. 3:6:And thereafter, the messenger of Jehovah stood there and testified to JoShua saying,
Ζαχ. 3:7:‘Thus says Jehovah the Almighty: If you will walk in My ways, and if you’ll keep watch on My orders, you’ll officiate at My [Holy Temple]; you will keep watch at My courtyard; and I’ll give you [guards] who will pace, between the [guards] who stand still.
Ζαχ. 3:9:Before JoShua’s face I’ll place a stone, and upon this stone will be seven eyes. ‘Look! I will dig [out a courtyard],’ says Jehovah the Almighty, ‘and there I’ll handle all injustice, throughout the land in a day.
Ζαχ. 3:10:And in that one day,’ says Jehovah the Almighty, ‘you will call to your neighbors, from under [your] grapevines and fig trees.’
Ζαχ. 4:6:Then he answered and told me: ‘This is the word of Jehovah to ZerubBabel. Tell him: Not by great power or by strength, but just by My Breath, says Jehovah the Almighty.
Ζαχ. 4:9:‘The hands of ZerubBabel that laid the foundation, will also be the hands that complete it. Then you will know that Jehovah the Almighty, was the One who sent Me to you.
Ζαχ. 4:10:For, who has despised the days of small things? Yet, they will rejoice when they see the stone plumb bob, held in of ZerubBabel’s hands… the stone with the eyes of Jehovah, that look upon the whole earth.’
Ζαχ. 5:4:For, Jehovah the Almighty says this: I will [soon] bring it forth, and send it to thieves who would enter My [Temple], and those swearing false oaths by My Name. I will enter their houses, and I will completely destroy them, including their woodwork and stones.’
Ζαχ. 6:12:And tell him that thus says Jehovah the Almighty: Look, there’s a male whose name is The Sprout, and he will grow from below, to rebuild the [Temple] of Jehovah.
Ζαχ. 6:14:‘This crown will be [in the Temple], as a reminder of those who showed recognition, and favor upon the son of ZephaniJah… it will serve as a psalm in the [Temple] of Jehovah.
Ζαχ. 6:15:‘And from far away will come those, who will build in the [Temple] of Jehovah. Then you’ll know that to you I was sent, by Jehovah the Almighty. And all who hear would [wish] they’d paid attention, to the voice of Jehovah their God.’
Ζαχ. 7:3:And they said to the Priests of the [Temple] of Jehovah the Almighty and to the Prophets: ‘The holy offering has been brought here again in this fifth month, as it has for a good number of years.’
Ζαχ. 7:4:Then the word of Jehovah of Armies came to me and said:
Ζαχ. 7:5:‘Speak to all the people of the land, and to all of the Priests, and tell them [that thus says Jehovah]: In the fifth and seventh months you have fasted, and beat your chests for seventy years; but in all of this fasting, were you fasting to Me?
Ζαχ. 7:7:‘Aren’t these the same words Jehovah once spoke, by the hands of the Prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and prospered… when her cities, her plains, and her mountains were lived in?’
Ζαχ. 7:9:Jehovah the Almighty said this: ‘With righteous judgments you must judge; let each show mercy and compassion to his brother!
Ζαχ. 7:12:Their hearts were set for resisting persuasion, for they wouldn’t listen to My Law, or to the words that came from Jehovah… by His Breath through the hands of the Prophets (all those who He’d sent before). So, there was great rage from Jehovah the Almighty.
Ζαχ. 7:13:‘This is the same as I told you before, when they wouldn’t listen to Me… when they called out and I wouldn’t listen,’ said Jehovah the Almighty.
Ζαχ. 8:1:Then came the word Jehovah the Almighty, saying,
Ζαχ. 8:3:Jehovah said: ‘So, to Zion I will return, and in Jerusalem’s midst I will camp. Then Jerusalem will be called The True City, and The Holy Mountain of Jehovah the Almighty.’
Ζαχ. 8:4:Thus said Jehovah the Almighty: ‘Old men and women will once again sit, within Jerusalem’s squares, each with his cane in his hand, because they’ll have lived many days.
Ζαχ. 8:6:Thus says Jehovah the Almighty: ‘Can’t this be done for those who remain… for those who are left in those days? No! But, will this be impossible for Me,’ asks Jehovah the Almighty? ‘No!’
Ζαχ. 8:7:Thus says Jehovah the Almighty: ‘{Look!} I’ll [return] My people from the lands in the east, and from the lands in the west.
Ζαχ. 8:9:Thus says Jehovah the Almighty: ‘O you who would hear in these days; Strengthen your hands [to follow] the words, which will come from the mouths of the Prophets. [They’ve been the same] since the day, that His Temple was founded, and from the day that the Temple was built…
Ζαχ. 8:11:‘But I won’t treat the remnant of this people, as I have done in the past,’ says Jehovah the Almighty.
Ζαχ. 8:14:Thus says Jehovah the Almighty: ‘As I once thought to bring evil upon you, because your fathers provoked Me to rage, and since then I’ve not relented,’ says Jehovah the Almighty,
Ζαχ. 8:17:Against your neighbor you must not consider, doing what’s evil in your hearts. And do not love lying oaths, for I detest all such things,’ said Jehovah the Almighty.
Ζαχ. 8:20:Thus says Jehovah the Almighty: ‘Many peoples will then come to you, and there’ll be many cities to live in.
Ζαχ. 8:21:And those in the cities will all gather and say: Let’s go beg before the face of the Lord… let’s seek the face of Jehovah the Almighty… yes we’ll all go, even I!
Ζαχ. 8:22:To Jerusalem the peoples and nations will come, to seek the face of Jehovah the Almighty, and to atone [for their sins] before Him.’
Ζαχ. 8:23:Thus says Jehovah the Almighty: ‘In those days, ten men from all nations and tongues, will come to take hold of the decorative hem, [of the robe] of a man who’s a Jew. And they’ll say: We now wish to [join] with you, because we have heard God is with you!
Ζαχ. 9:1:This is a proclamation: It’s the word of Jehovah against the land of [the God] Hadrach, and against Damascus [the place where] his sacrifices [are offered]. For, [as well as] the tribes of Israel, all men are inspected by Jehovah.
Ζαχ. 9:14:Then the Lord will be seen over them, and like lightning He’ll [shoot] His arrows. Jehovah God will blow on His trumpet, and send intimidation [upon them].
Ζαχ. 9:15:Their shield will be Jehovah Almighty, as they bring [destruction] upon them. They’ll heap upon them the stones of a sling; and they’ll drink their blood as though it were wine… like basins for the Altar they’ll fill their bowls.
Ζαχ. 9:16:‘In that day, Jehovah will be their God, and the sheep of His people He’ll save; yes, as [gems in a crown they’ll be] in His land.
Ζαχ. 10:1:‘Ask Jehovah for each season’s rains (both the early and late rains), for Jehovah has done what’s fantastic… on the pastures of their fields He’s brought winter rains.
Ζαχ. 10:3:‘My rage was provoked by the shepherds, so now I’ll visit their lambs. Jehovah God the Almighty, will visit His flock, the house of Judah. And as He has done to His handsome horse, He’ll give them orders for war.
Ζαχ. 10:5:but his warriors will tread mud in the battle. For though they’re attacked, Jehovah is with them, so those riding horses will then be disgraced.
Ζαχ. 10:6:For, the house of Judah I will strengthen, and house of Joseph I will save… because I love them I’ll save them, and they’ll be as before I disowned them… because I’m Jehovah their God, I’ll pay attention to them!
Ζαχ. 10:12:‘I’ll make them strong in Jehovah their God, and in His Name they will boast,’ said the Lord.
Ζαχ. 11:4:Thus says Jehovah the Almighty: ‘Tend the sheep for the slaughter;
Ζαχ. 11:5:those who’ve been bought by the butcher, and have not repented for the things they have done. For those who sold them have said, Praise Jehovah for we have gained wealth! And their shepherds have suffered no loss over them.
Ζαχ. 11:6:‘Because of this I will not spare, those who live in the land,’ says Jehovah. ‘{Look!} I’ll deliver each man to the hand of his neighbor, and into the hand of his king. Then they’ll cut their land into pieces… no way will I save them from their hands.
Ζαχ. 11:11:It’ll be erased in that day, and those in CanaAn who have guarded My sheep, will know that this is the word of Jehovah.
Ζαχ. 11:13:Then the Lord said to me: ‘Now, throw them into the [treasury], but check to make sure that they’re pure, for this is my [value] before them.’ So, I took the thirty pieces of silver, and threw them into the [treasury], of the [Temple] of Jehovah.
Ζαχ. 12:1:‘This is the matter of the word of Jehovah over Israel,’ said the Lord, ‘He who stretched out the skies, who laid the foundations of the earth, and from Himself shaped the breath of mankind.
Ζαχ. 12:4:‘And in that day,’ says Jehovah the Almighty, ‘I will strike all the horses with wonder, and drive all their riders to ranting. But upon Judah’s house I’ll open My eyes, and strike all their horses with blindness.
Ζαχ. 12:5:And Judah’s generals will say in their hearts: Jerusalem’s [people are safe, in the strength] of their God Jehovah Almighty.
Ζαχ. 12:7:Then Jehovah will rescue the tents of Judea, as He did long ago, so the haughty who dwell in Jerusalem, as well as those in Judea, won’t have any reason to boast, above the house of [King] David.
Ζαχ. 12:8:‘And in that day, Jehovah will shield, all those who in Jerusalem dwell. And even the weak ones among them, will be like David in that day. So, the house of David will come to be, like the Temple of God… like the messenger of Jehovah who’s standing before them.
Ζαχ. 13:2:And in that Day it will be,’ says Jehovah of Armies; ‘I’ll destroy the names of their idols from the land, so they’ll no more be remembered. And I will remove from the land, the false Prophets with spirits that are unclean.
Ζαχ. 13:7:‘O broadsword, awaken against [such] a man, and against My shepherds [who live in] My land,’ says Jehovah the Almighty. ‘Strike the shepherds and scatter the sheep, for against the shepherds I’ll bring My hand.
Ζαχ. 13:8:‘And it will be in that Day,’ says Jehovah; ‘Two-thirds will be destroyed and will cease, but a third will be left behind. Then I’ll try them as [you] try gold. But they will call on My Name, and, I will reply: These are [truly] My people! And they will say, Jehovah’s our God.’
Ζαχ. 14:5:‘Then flee to the valley of my mountain, which [runs] to the Wadi Azal. You must flee as in the day of the earthquake, [that happened] in the days of UzziJah (king of Judah). ‘Then Jehovah my God will arrive, and all of His Holy Ones with Him.
Ζαχ. 14:13:‘And in that Day, there will come, great astonishment from Jehovah upon them. Each will grab hold of his neighbor’s hand; they’ll join hand-to-hand with their neighbors.
Ζαχ. 14:16:‘Then all who remain from the nations, that against Jerusalem marched, will ascend each year to bow to the King – to Jehovah the Almighty – and observe the feast of the Pitching of Tents.
Ζαχ. 14:17:Then to all who won’t come [in that Day] (to bow before Jehovah the Almighty, from all the tribes of the earth), these things will be added to them, and upon them won’t fall any rain.
Ζαχ. 14:18:‘And if the tribe of Egypt won’t come here; upon them will also come the downfall, with which Jehovah struck the nations… those who won’t observe the holiday, of the Pitching of Tents.
Ζαχ. 14:20:‘In that Day, there’ll be [written], upon the bridles of horses, Holy to Jehovah the Almighty. And the stew pots in the [Temple] of Jehovah, will be as the bowls before the Altar.
Ζαχ. 14:21:And in Jerusalem and Judah, all the stew pots, will be holy to Jehovah the Almighty. So, all who then bring sacrifices, will take them and use them to cook with. ‘And in that Day, there’ll no longer be, CanaAnites who approach Jehovah of Armies.’
Μαλ. 1:1:This is the matter of the word of Jehovah concerning Israel [that came] by the hand of His messenger.
Μαλ. 1:2:‘I have loved you,’ says Jehovah. ‘Yet you asked, How have You loved us? Wasn’t Esau the brother of Jacob? Yet,’ said Jehovah, ‘I loved Jacob
Μαλ. 1:4:‘Because Edom will say, Although we’ve been cut down, we’ll return and rebuild our desolate places,’ thus says Jehovah the Almighty: ‘Though they may rebuild, I’ll knock it down; so the Lawless Borders is what they’ll be called, and a People Opposed to Jehovah.
Μαλ. 1:6:‘Fathers are glorified by their sons, and a servant gives glory to his master; but if I’m a father, then where is My glory; and if I’m the Lord, then where is [your] fear,’ asks Jehovah the Almighty? ‘You Priests treat My Name as having no value, then ask, How have we treated it as worthless?
Μαλ. 1:7:By bringing [unholy] bread to My Altar. Then you ask, How have we made it unholy? When you say Jehovah’s table isn’t holy, and the things you place on it are treated with contempt.
Μαλ. 1:8:For, if you bring a blind animal to offer, is this not a thing that is evil? And if you should bring the lame or the ill, is it not [also something that’s] evil? Why, bring it to [your king] who [rules over] you… will he show you favor when he gets it… will he [bestow honor] on your soul,’ asks Jehovah the Almighty? ‘No!’
Μαλ. 1:9:‘Now, atone before the face of your God… come before Him and beg! For, these things have been done by your hands. So, will I receive such things from your soul,’ asks Jehovah the Almighty? ‘No!’
Μαλ. 1:10:‘So, even among you the doors will be closed, and you won’t find My favor to light up My Altar. There is nothing of Me that’s lacking among you,’ says Jehovah the Almighty. ‘So, no sacrifices will I accept from your hands.
Μαλ. 1:11:‘From the rising of the sun to [the place] where it sets, among the nations My Name is glorified, and incense is offered in My Name everywhere… as well as sacrifices that are pure! For, among the nations My Name is great,’ says Jehovah the Almighty.
Μαλ. 1:12:‘Yet, you profane it whenever you say, The table of Jehovah isn’t [holy], and treat the food before Him with contempt.
Μαλ. 1:13:‘For you say, It’s just too much trouble, and then you just blow them away,’ says Jehovah the Almighty. ‘So, you carry in game and the lame and the ill. Yes, these you’ve brought such things to sacrifice before Me. So, will I favorably receive them from your hands,’ asks Jehovah the Almighty? ‘No!’
Μαλ. 1:14:‘Cursed is the powerful man, who has a male among all his flock, and whose vow [that was promised] comes due, and then offers one that’s corrupt to the Lord! For, I am great,’ says Jehovah the Almighty, ‘and My Name is well-known in the nations!’
Μαλ. 2:2:If you will not listen and take it to heart, that you must give glory to My Name,’ says Jehovah the Almighty, ‘then I’ll send upon you a curse; I will curse all of your blessings; I’ll curse it and it won’t happen among you, if you don’t take this to heart.
Μαλ. 2:4:And then you will know it was I, who sent these instructions to you… it’s My agreement with Levi,’ says Jehovah the Almighty.
Μαλ. 2:7:So, from his lips the Priest should guard knowledge, and seek the Law from his mouth; for he’s a messenger of Jehovah the Almighty.
Μαλ. 2:8:‘But you’ve turned aside from the way, and you’ve turned many from following the Law… you’ve corrupted My sacred agreement with Levi,’ says Jehovah the Almighty.
Μαλ. 2:12:So, Jehovah will destroy each man who has done this, and those in Jacob’s tents will be humbled… those bringing the sacrifices to Jehovah.
Μαλ. 2:13:‘Yet, you did these things that I detested, and the Altar of Jehovah you’ve covered with tears… weeping and moaning because of the trouble [you bring]. And you thought [I’d] consider your offerings, and take them from your hands as though they are worthy?
Μαλ. 2:14:‘Then you [dared to] ask, What is the reason for this? Because, Jehovah was a witness between you, and the wives of your youth whom you’ve left. Yet, they have [long] been your partners… they’re the wives of your sacred agreement!
Μαλ. 2:16:Do not detest her and send her away, says Jehovah, Israel’s God, then cover the irreverence of your thoughts. For thus says Jehovah the Almighty God: Keep close guard on your spirit, and no way should you ever abandon [your wives].
Μαλ. 2:17:‘You provoke Jehovah with your words, and then you ask How have we done this? By your saying, Before Him, the wicked are good, and He thinks [kindly] of them… O where is the God of righteous ways?’
Μαλ. 3:1:‘{Look!} I will send out My angel, and he’ll prepare the way before My face. Then the Lord (the One for whom you are searching) will suddenly come to his Temple, with the messenger of the Sacred Agreement. ‘Look; Here he comes,’ says Jehovah the Almighty!
Μαλ. 3:3:So, a melting pot he’ll place in a furnace, as someone who refines silver. Then he will cleanse the sons of Levi, and pour them out like silver or gold. ‘And before Jehovah, they will then be, those who bring sacrifices that are righteous.
Μαλ. 3:5:‘Then I’ll come against you in judgment; and against all those who make potions. I will be a swift witness, against those who are [guilty of] adultery, and those who swear false oaths in My Name; against those who don’t pay those whom they’ve hired; against those who tyrannize widows; against those who are [abusing] the orphans, and those who deny justice to foreign peoples; for, these are the ones who don’t fear Me,’ says Jehovah the Almighty.
Μαλ. 3:6:I’m Jehovah your God and I never change!
Μαλ. 3:7:‘But you sons of Jacob just won’t stay away, from the sins of your fathers… you’ve turned aside and not guarded My Laws. So, return to Me, and then to you I’ll return,’ says Jehovah the Almighty. ‘But you ask: In what ways must we return?
Μαλ. 3:10:‘This year has come to an end, and you’ve carried your produce and put it in barns, but there will be ravaging in your homes! ‘Restore indeed what [is due],’ says Jehovah the Almighty, ‘and see if I don’t open to you, the outpouring of rain from the skies… I’ll pour My blessings upon you, until you’ve received what’s enough.
Μαλ. 3:11:For you, I will set aside food, and not destroy the fruit of the ground, nor will I weaken your grapevines,’ says Jehovah the Almighty.
Μαλ. 3:12:‘Then all the nations will proclaim that you’re happy, and you’ll be a land that’s desired,’ says Jehovah the Almighty.
Μαλ. 3:13:‘But you’ve put Me down with your words,’ says Jehovah, ‘and then you have dared to ask Me: How have we spoken against You in bad ways?
Μαλ. 3:16:‘Yet, there were those who spoke to their neighbors, and told of their fear of Jehovah. So, Jehovah paid attention and He listened, and wrote [their names] in the scroll, of those honoring and fearing the Name of the Lord.
Μαλ. 3:17:And in that Day, to Me they’ll belong,’ says Jehovah the Almighty, ‘for I will prepare a procurement, and select them in the same way, as a man selects the son who will serve him.
Μαλ. 4:1:‘For, look; the Day is now coming, and it burns like an oven, and against them all it will blaze. Then the foreigners and lawless will be stubble, to be lit on fire in that Day,’ says Jehovah of Armies! ‘And no way will a branch or a root still remain.
Μαλ. 4:3:Then you will trample the lawless, and they’ll be like ashes under your feet, in the Day that I have prepared,’ says Jehovah the Almighty.
Ματθ. 1:20:But after he came to that conclusion, {Look!} Jehovah’s messenger appeared to him in a dream, saying, ‘Joseph, son of David; Don’t be afraid to take Mary as your wife, because what has been fathered in her is from [God’s] Holy Breath.
Ματθ. 1:21:She will give birth to a son and you will call his name Jesus (Jehovah is Salvation), because he will save his people from their sins.’
Ματθ. 1:22:This whole thing happened so that, what was spoken by Jehovah through the Prophet would be fulfilled:
Ματθ. 1:24:Then, after he woke up, Joseph did what Jehovah’s messenger told him to do and took the woman along with him.
Ματθ. 2:13:After they left, {Look!} Jehovah’s messenger appeared to Joseph in a dream saying, ‘Get up! Take the boy and his mother, then hurry to Egypt and stay there until I tell you otherwise, because Herod is going to search for the boy to destroy him!’
Ματθ. 2:15:where he stayed until Herod died, so the thing that was said by Jehovah through the Prophet was fulfilled, ‘I called my son out of Egypt’.
Ματθ. 2:19:Well, when Herod died, {Look!} Jehovah’s messenger appeared in a dream to Joseph while he was in Egypt
Ματθ. 4:7:But Jesus told him: ‘Again, it is written; You shouldn’t put Jehovah your God to the test.’
Ματθ. 4:10:But Jesus said: ‘Go away Slanderer, because it’s written: It is Jehovah your God you must worship, And He’s the only One you must serve.’
Ματθ. 5:33:‘Again, you heard it was said long ago: You should not swear a false oath; You must do as you vow before Jehovah.
Ματθ. 21:9:Then, part of the crowd walked ahead of him and those who followed behind were shouting: ‘[God] save the Son of David! Praise the one who comes in Jehovah’s Name… may [God] in the highest places save him!’
Ματθ. 22:37:And he replied: You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart, life, and mind.
Ματθ. 22:44:Jehovah said to my Lord; Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet?
Ματθ. 27:10:And used them to pay for the potter’s field, Just as Jehovah had told me.’
Ματθ. 28:2:And {Look!} a great shaking had happened, because Jehovah’s messenger had come down from heaven and rolled away the stone, and he was sitting on top of it…
Μάρκ. 5:19:However, [Jesus] wouldn’t allow this, but said, ‘Go back to your home and family and tell them all the things that Jehovah has done for you, and about the mercy He has shown you.’
Μάρκ. 11:9:And those who walked in front of him and behind him were shouting, ‘May [God] save him! Praised is he who comes in Jehovah’s Name!
Μάρκ. 12:11:This came by Jehovah, and we think it’s just great.’
Μάρκ. 12:29:And Jesus answered: ‘The primary one is: Hear, O Israel; Jehovah our God is one Lord,
Μάρκ. 12:36:For, through the Holy Breath [of God], David said this: Jehovah said to my Lord; Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet.
Μάρκ. 13:20:In fact, if Jehovah doesn’t shorten the days, it’s likely that no flesh will be saved. But due to the chosen ones that He elected, He has shortened the days.
Λουκ. 1:6:Both of them were found righteous by God, because they obeyed all the Commandments and requirements of Jehovah.
Λουκ. 1:9:(following the custom of the Priesthood) [ZechariJah] was chosen by lot to offer incense when he went into the Holy Place of Jehovah.
Λουκ. 1:11:and it was then that Jehovah’s messenger appeared to him, to the right of the incense altar.
Λουκ. 1:15:because he will be great in the eyes of Jehovah. He may not drink any wine or liquor at all, and he will be filled with [God’s] Holy Breath while he’s still in his mother’s womb;
Λουκ. 1:16:he will turn many sons of Israel back to Jehovah their God;
Λουκ. 1:17:he will go just ahead of Him with the power and breath of EliJah; and he will prepare a people for Jehovah, turning the hearts of fathers back to their children, and the [hearts] of those who don’t obey to righteous good sense.’
Λουκ. 1:25:‘This is Jehovah’s will, so people won’t laugh at me.’
Λουκ. 1:28:And when he came to her he said, ‘Rejoice you most cared-for person, because Jehovah is with you.’
Λουκ. 1:32:He will be great and he will be called the Son of the Most High, and Jehovah God will give him the throne of his ancestor David.
Λουκ. 1:38:Then Mary said, ‘{Look!} I’m Jehovah’s slave girl! May the thing you said happen to me!’ And at that, the messenger left her.
Λουκ. 1:46:Then Mary said: ‘I glorify Jehovah with my life,
Λουκ. 1:58:So, when her neighbors and relatives heard how Jehovah had shown such magnificent mercy toward her, they were overjoyed too.
Λουκ. 1:66:Everyone who heard of it made a note in their hearts, wondering, ‘Just what will this boy [grow up to] be, because the hand of Jehovah is with him?’
Λουκ. 1:68:‘Praise Jehovah Israel’s God, For He looked down and set His people free.
Λουκ. 2:9:Then Jehovah’s messenger appeared, standing over them with [His] Glory shining around them (which frightened them).
Λουκ. 2:15:So, after the messengers [of God] went back to heaven, the shepherds said to each other, ‘Let’s go to BethLehem and see this thing that Jehovah has revealed to us.’
Λουκ. 2:22:Then, at the end of the [forty] days of purification that were required by the Law of Moses, they took him to Jerusalem to present him to Jehovah,
Λουκ. 2:23:exactly as it was written in Jehovah’s Law, ‘Every male that opens a womb must be called holy to Jehovah.’
Λουκ. 2:24:Then they offered the sacrifice that was specified in Jehovah’s Law, a pair of turtle doves or two young pigeons.
Λουκ. 2:26:So it had been divinely shown to him by the Holy Breath that he wouldn’t die before he saw the Anointed of Jehovah.
Λουκ. 2:39:Then, after [Joseph and Mary] did everything that [Jehovah’s Law] required, they went back to their home in Nazareth of Galilee.
Λουκ. 4:8:But Jesus answered, ‘It’s written; You must worship Jehovah your God. He’s the only One you should worship.’
Λουκ. 4:12:But Jesus replied, ‘It is said, You shouldn’t Jehovah your God to the test.’
Λουκ. 4:18:Jehovah’s Breath is upon me, For He chose me to tell good news to the poor. He sent me to preach freedom to the prisoners, And the regaining of sight to the blind, To remove all the pressures from the people,
Λουκ. 4:19:And to preach of the year that Jehovah has chosen.’
Λουκ. 5:17:Well several days later he was teaching, as some Pharisees and teachers of the Law were [sitting among the crowd]; and people had come from every village of Galilee and Judea, as well as from Jerusalem, because [Jesus] was healing by the power of Jehovah.
Λουκ. 10:27:So he answered, ‘You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart, life, strength, and mind, and your neighbor as yourself.’
Λουκ. 19:38:saying, ‘Praise the one who comes as King in Jehovah’s Name! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest places!’
Λουκ. 20:37:‘Why, even Moses showed that the dead will be raised. For when [he was] at the thorn bush, he called Jehovah the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Λουκ. 20:42:For David himself says in the book of Psalms, Jehovah said to my Lord, Sit at my right 43 until I put your enemies as a stool for your feet.
Ιωάν. 12:13:took palm-tree branches and went out to meet him, shouting, ‘[God] save the Praised One who comes in Jehovah’s Name… the King of Israel!’
Ιωάν. 12:38:This was so that the words of the Prophet IsaiJah were fulfilled that said, ‘O Lord; Who has believed in the things that we’ve heard, and who has shown the arm of Jehovah?’
Πράξ. 2:25:‘Then David said this about him: I‘ve put Jehovah always before me. And since He is at my right hand, I will never be shaken.
Πράξ. 2:34:‘Now, David didn’t go to heaven, but he said: Jehovah said to my Lord; Sit down at my right hand
Πράξ. 2:39:That’s a promise to you, to your children, and to all those who are far away… to everyone who Jehovah our God calls to Himself.’
Πράξ. 3:19:‘Now, repent and turn around to get your sins erased, so you may see a period of refreshment from Jehovah.
Πράξ. 3:22:In fact, it was Moses who said: Jehovah God will raise a Prophet like me from among your brothers, and you must listen to everything that he tells you.
Πράξ. 5:9:Then Peter said: ‘Why did you agree between [the two of] you to test the Breath of Jehovah? Look! The feet of those who buried your husband are at the door, and they’ll carry you out also.’
Πράξ. 5:19:But during the night, Jehovah’s messenger opened the doors of the jail, and brought them out, saying:
Πράξ. 7:33:Then Jehovah said to him: Remove your sandals, because the place where you’re standing is holy ground!
Πράξ. 7:49:For Jehovah said: The heavens are My throne and the earth is My footstool, so what kind of House can you build for Me; or in what kind of place should I rest?
Πράξ. 8:26:Then Jehovah’s messenger spoke to Philip, saying: ‘Get up and go south to the road that runs from Jerusalem to Gaza.’ (It’s a desert road).
Πράξ. 8:39:Well after they came out of the water, Jehovah’s Breath sent Philip away quickly; and the eunuch didn’t see him anymore. But he continued on his way rejoicing.
Πράξ. 11:21:And the Lord’s hand was certainly with them, because many of them believed and turned to Jehovah.
Πράξ. 12:7:But {Look!} Jehovah’s messenger was suddenly standing there, creating a light in the cell. Then he hit Peter on the side and woke him, saying, ‘Get up… Now!’ And the chains just fell off his hands.
Πράξ. 12:23:And instantly, the messenger of Jehovah struck him, because he didn’t give the glory to God, and he became eaten up with worms and died.
Πράξ. 15:17:so that all those who remain can seek Jehovah, along with people from all the nations who are called by My Name. ‘And this was said by Jehovah, who did these things
Ρωμ. 4:8:Blest are all men whose sins are overlooked by Jehovah!’
Ρωμ. 9:28:For, Jehovah will call the land in to settle accounts, and then He will cut it short and end it.’
Ρωμ. 9:29:And as IsaiJah also prophesied, ‘If Jehovah of armies hadn’t left us a seed, we would have become just like Sodom, and the same as GomorRah.’
Ρωμ. 11:3:[He said], ‘O Jehovah; They’ve killed Your Prophets; they’ve dug up Your Altars; now I’m the only one left and they’re looking for my life!’
Ρωμ. 11:34:‘Who has come to know the mind of Jehovah, and who can give Him advice?’
Ρωμ. 12:19:don’t get even loved ones, but put anger in its place, because it’s written, ‘Allow Me to get even… I’ll pay them back, says Jehovah.’
Ρωμ. 15:11:And again, ‘Praise Jehovah all you nations, and let all the peoples praise Him.’
1Κορ. 2:16:For, ‘who has come to know the mind of Jehovah so as to become His councilor?’ However, we do have the mind of the Anointed One.
1Κορ. 3:20:And again, ‘Jehovah knows that the thoughts of wise men are worthless.’
1Κορ. 10:9:Nor do we want to put Jehovah to the test as some of them did, because they were destroyed by snakes!
1Κορ. 10:22:Or, are we making Jehovah jealous? We aren’t stronger than He is, are we?
1Κορ. 10:26:because the earth and everything in it belongs to Jehovah!
1Κορ. 14:21:It’s written in the Law, ‘I will speak to these people in foreign languages and with the lips of strangers,but even then, they won’t listen to Me, says Jehovah.’
2Κορ. 3:18:So, all of us, when we uncover our faces, have the glory of Jehovah… we reflect the glory of Jehovah like mirrors, and we are transformed from [one] glory to [another] glory, which comes from Jehovah’s Breath.
2Κορ. 6:17:Come out of their midst and separate yourselves, says Jehovah. Don’t touch anything unclean and I’ll take you in!
2Κορ. 6:18:I will be your Father, and you will be My sons and daughters, says Jehovah the Almighty.’
Γαλ. 3:6:Remember that Abraham put faith in Jehovah, and that’s why he was considered righteous.
Εφεσ. 2:21:And through him, the whole building is coming together and is growing into a Holy Temple for Jehovah.
Εφεσ. 5:19:Sing to yourselves in psalms, hymns, and songs through the Breath [of God]… sing and create music in your hearts to Jehovah
2Τιμ. 1:18:So, may Jehovah show him the mercy to sit beside the Lord in that Day. It would be good if you knew all the services he provided in Ephesus.
2Τιμ. 2:19:But you have a solid foundation in God and you have His seal [of approval]. As we were told, ‘Jehovah knows those who belong to Him’ and, ‘Let everyone who speaks the Name of the Lord stop doing what’s unrighteous.’
Εβρ. 2:13:And again, ‘I will have trusted in them.’ And again, ‘{Look!} The boys whom Jehovah gave me, and I…’
Εβρ. 7:21:so there were those who became Priests without a sworn oath! And no one else has had an oath sworn about him by He who said, ‘Jehovah has sworn (and He won’t change His mind): You’re a Priest through the age.’
Εβρ. 8:2:where He’s handling Priestly duties at the Most Holy in the real Tent that was built by Jehovah, not by men.
Εβρ. 8:8:However, He did find a problem with the people, because He said, ‘{Look!} The time is coming, says Jehovah, when I will make a new Sacred Agreement with the House of Israel and with the House of Judah.
Εβρ. 8:9:This won’t be like the Agreement that I made with their ancestors at the time that I took them by the hand and led them out of the land of Egypt… because they didn’t keep their side of it. As the result, I stopped caring for them, says Jehovah.
Εβρ. 8:10:This is the Agreement that I’m going to make with the House of Israel at that time, says Jehovah: I’ll put my laws in their minds and write them in their hearts. I will become their God and they will be My people.
Εβρ. 8:11:Then, citizens of the land won’t have to teach their brothers about Jehovah, because they will all know Me, from the least to the greatest of them.
Εβρ. 10:16:This is the Sacred Agreement that I will make with them in those days, says Jehovah: I will put my laws in their hearts and I’ll write them in their minds.
Εβρ. 10:30:For, we know the One who said, ‘Vengeance belongs to Me… I will repay!’ And again, ‘Jehovah will judge His people.’
Εβρ. 12:5:And you’ve forgotten the encouragement that was given to you as [His] sons, that said, ‘My son; Don’t treat the discipline of Jehovah lightly, and don’t try to avoid being corrected by Him.
Εβρ. 12:6:For, Jehovah disciplines those whom He Loves and He whips those whom He accepts as His sons.’
Ιακ. 5:4:Look! The wages that you refused to pay the workers who harvested your fields are calling out; and the cries of the reapers have reached the ears of Jehovah of armies!
Ιακ. 5:10:Brothers, learn the example of how to suffer bad things and how to be patient from the Prophets who spoke in the Name of Jehovah.
Ιακ. 5:11:{Look!} We call those who endured blest! Why, you’ve heard of the endurance of Job, and you saw the way Jehovah ended it. [This proves] that Jehovah is very kind and merciful.
1Πέτ. 1:25:but the words of Jehovah remain through the age.’ These are the words that we preached to you as good news.
1Πέτ. 3:12:Because, Jehovah watches out for the righteous and He listens to them whenever they ask [for help]. But Jehovah opposes those who do bad things.’
2Πέτ. 2:9:Yes, Jehovah knows how to rescue devout people from trials, while he keeps the unrighteous for a judgment day, when they will be destroyed.
2Πέτ. 3:8:However, don’t overlook the fact, loved ones, that one day to Jehovah is as a thousand years, and a thousand years is as just one day.
2Πέτ. 3:9:So, Jehovah isn’t slow when it comes to His promises (as some people think). Rather, He’s being patient with you, because He doesn’t want anyone to be destroyed; and He’s allowing enough time for everyone to repent!
Ιούδ. 1:5:Despite the fact that you already know everything, I want to remind you that; although Jehovah saved people out of the land of Egypt, He thereafter destroyed those who didn’t show faith.
Ιούδ. 1:9:Why, when MichaEl, the Highest Messenger [of God] had an argument with the Slanderer over the body of Moses, he didn’t dare to judge him by speaking disrespectfully to him. All he said was, ‘May Jehovah give you what you deserve!’
Ιούδ. 1:14:Why, the seventh man from Adam, Enoch, prophesied about them when he said, ‘[Look!] Jehovah came with His holy ten thousands of ten thousands
Αποκ. 1:8:‘I am the Alpha and the Omega,’ says Jehovah The God; ‘He who is, who was, and who’s coming… the Almighty.’
Αποκ. 4:8:Also, each of the four animals had six wings that were wrapped around them, and the inside parts of their wings were full of eyes. They don’t rest night or day, and they were saying, ‘Holy, holy, holy, is Jehovah God the Almighty, who was, who is, and who’s coming.’
Αποκ. 4:11:‘O Jehovah our God; You deserve all the glory, honor, and power, because You created all things… they were created and exist because of Your Will!’
Αποκ. 11:17:saying, ‘We thank You, Jehovah God the Almighty – the One who is and who was – because You’ve assumed Your great power and started ruling as King.
Αποκ. 15:3:and they were singing the song of God’s slave Moses and the song of the Lamb. It went: ‘The things that You do O Jehovah, the Almighty God, Are wonderful and great, King of ages; For Your ways are righteous and true,
Αποκ. 15:4:And who doesn’t fear You, Jehovah? [Who won’t] glorify Your Name? Because You are He who’s trustworthy, So, all nations will come and bow before You, For, Your righteous rules are now known.’
Αποκ. 16:7:Then I heard the Altar speak. It said: ‘Yes, Jehovah God the Almighty; Your judgments are righteous and true.’
Αποκ. 18:8:That’s why her plagues will come upon her in a single day – death, mourning, and famine – and she’ll be burned up with fire, because her judge, Jehovah God, is powerful.
Αποκ. 19:6:Then I heard what sounded like the voices of a huge crowd, along with the noise of a lot of water and heavy thunder. They were shouting: ‘Praise Jah, because Jehovah our God the Almighty has started ruling as king!
Αποκ. 21:22:I didn’t see a Divine Habitation within [the city], because Jehovah God the Almighty and the Lamb are its Holy Place (gr. naos).
Αποκ. 22:5:And since there won’t be any more night, they won’t need lamps or sunlight, because Jehovah God will shine upon them, and they’ll rule as kings for ages of the ages.
Αποκ. 22:6:Then he said to me, ‘These words are faithful and true. Yes, Jehovah (The God who gave His Breath to the Prophets) sent His messenger to show His slaves the things that will happen very soon.
