But LORD hearkened to me that time also. ²⁰ And LORD was very angry with Aaron to destroy him. And I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.

²⁶ And I prayed to LORD, and said, O lord LORD, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, that thou have redeemed through thy greatness, that thou have brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand. ²⁷ Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Look not to the stubbornness of this people, nor to their profaneness, nor to their sin, ²⁸ lest the land from where thou brought us out say, Because LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised to them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness. ²⁹ Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou brought out by thy great power and by thine outstretched arm.

¹ O God, why have thou cast off forever? Why does thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture? ² Remember thy congregation, which thou have gotten of old, which thou have redeemed to be the tribe of thine inheritance, and mount Zion, at which thou have dwelt.

²³ Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy.

¹⁷ O LORD, why do thou make us to err from thy ways, and harden our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes of thine inheritance.

¹ Thou are righteous, O LORD, when I contend with thee. Yet I would reason the case with thee. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are all those at ease who deal very treacherously? ² Thou have planted them. Yea, they have taken root, they grow. Yea, they bring forth fruit. Thou are near in their mouth, and far from their heart.

⁶ And LORD regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart.

¹⁴ And LORD relented of the evil which he said he would do to his people.

¹³ And Moses said to LORD, Then the Egyptians will hear it, for thou brought up this people in thy might from among them, ¹⁴ and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that thou LORD are in the midst of this people, for thou LORD are seen face to face, and thy cloud stands over them, and thou go before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night. ¹⁵ Now if thou shall kill this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying, ¹⁶ Because LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore to them, therefore he has slain them in the wilderness.

²⁸ lest the land from where thou brought us out say, Because LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised to them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.

¹⁷ And nothing of the devoted thing shall cling to thy hand, that LORD may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and show thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he has sworn to thy fathers,

²⁶ I said, I would scatter them afar, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men, ²⁷ were it not that I feared the provocation of the enemy, lest their adversaries should judge amiss, lest they should say, Our hand is exalted, and LORD has not done all this.

³⁶ For LORD will judge his people, and regrets for his servants, when he sees that their power is gone, and there is none remaining, shut up or left at large.

⁹ For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it, and will encompass us around, and cut off our name from the earth, and what will thou do for thy great name?

²⁶ And they raised over him a great heap of stones, to this day, and LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger. Therefore the name of that place was called the valley of Achor to this day.

¹⁴ Let now our rulers be appointed for all the assembly, and let all those who are in our cities who have married foreign women come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce wrath of our God be turned from us, until this matter be dispatched.

¹⁸ Remember this, that the enemy has reproached, O LORD, and that a foolish people has blasphemed thy name.

³⁸ But he, being merciful, forgave iniquity, and destroyed not. Yea, many a time he turned his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.

⁹ Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name. And deliver us, and forgive our sins, for thy name's sake. ¹⁰ Why should the nations say, Where is their God? Let the avenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed be known among the nations in our sight.

³ Thou have taken away all thy wrath. Thou have turned from the fierceness of thine anger.

¹³ Return, O LORD. How long? And relent concerning thy servants.

⁴⁵ And he remembered his covenant for them, and relented according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.

⁹ But I worked for my name's sake (that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, among which they were, in whose sight I made myself known to them) in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.

¹⁴ But I worked for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out.

²² Nevertheless I withdrew my hand, and worked for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them forth.

³ LORD relented concerning this. It shall not be, says LORD.

⁶ LORD relented concerning this. This also shall not be, says the lord LORD.

⁹ Who knows whether God will not turn and relent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we not perish?

¹⁴ For thus says LORD of hosts: As I thought to do evil to you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, says LORD of hosts, and I did not relent,

² And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great, and be thou a blessing.

⁷ And LORD appeared to Abram, and said, I will give this land to thy seed. And there he built an altar to LORD, who appeared to him.

¹⁵ For all the land which thou see, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed forever. ¹⁶ And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth. So that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then may thy seed also be numbered.

⁵ And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and number the stars, if thou be able to number them. And he said to him, So shall thy seed be.

⁷ And he said to him, I am LORD who brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.

¹⁸ In that day LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, To thy seed I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates:

¹⁶ and said, By myself I have sworn, says LORD, because thou have done this thing, and have not withheld thy son, thine only son,

³ Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee. For to thee, and to thy seed, I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath that I swore to Abraham thy father. ⁴ And I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and will give to thy seed all these lands, and in thy seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed,

¹³ And, behold, LORD stood above it, and said, I am LORD, the God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac. The land on which thou lie, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed. ¹⁴ And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shall spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south. And in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.

¹¹ And God said to him, I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins. ¹² And the land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give it to thee, and I will give the land to thy seed after thee.

¹⁶ the agent who has redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads, and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac, and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.

⁴² then I will remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember, and I will remember the land.

⁸ but because LORD loves you. And because he would keep the oath which he swore to your fathers, LORD has brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

²⁷ Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Look not to the stubbornness of this people, nor to their profaneness, nor to their sin,

⁵⁴ He helped his boy Israel to be reminded of mercy, ⁵⁵ just as he spoke to our fathers: to Abraham and his seed into the age.

¹³ For God who promised to Abraham, since he had none greater to swear by, swore by himself,

²⁶ I said, I would scatter them afar, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men,

¹⁶ And when the agent stretched out his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, LORD relented of the evil, and said to the agent who destroyed the people, It is enough. Now stay thy hand. And the agent of LORD was by the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

¹⁵ And God sent an agent to Jerusalem to destroy it. And as he was about to destroy, LORD beheld, and he relented of the evil, and said to the destroying agent, It is enough. Now halt thy hand. And the agent of LORD was standing by the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

⁸ if that nation, concerning which I have spoken, turns from their evil, I will relent of the evil that I thought to do to them.

¹³ Now therefore amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of LORD your God, and LORD will relent of the evil that he has pronounced against you.

¹⁹ Did Hezekiah king of Judah, and all Judah put him to death? Did he not fear LORD, and entreat the favor of LORD. And LORD relented of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Thus might we commit great evil against our own souls.

¹³ And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn to LORD your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and relents of the evil.

¹⁰ And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way. And God relented of the evil which he said he would do to them, and he did not do it.

² And he prayed to LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I hastened to flee to Tarshish, for I knew that thou are a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and relent thee of the evil.

³⁴ As LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.

¹⁸ And he gave to Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, the two tablets of the testimony, tablets of stone, written with the finger of God.

²⁰ And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy-seat above upon the ark.

²² These words LORD spoke to all your assembly on the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice, and he added no more. And he wrote them upon two tablets of stone, and gave them to me.

¹⁵ So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount was burning with fire. And the two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands.

⁷ The law of LORD is perfect, restoring the soul. The testimony of LORD is sure, making a simple man wise.

¹ And I saw at the right hand of him who sits on the throne a book, written inside and outside, sealed with seven seals.

¹ And LORD said to Moses, Hew thee two tablets of stone like the first, and I will write upon the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which thou broke.

⁴ And he hewed two tablets of stone like the first. And Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up to mount Sinai, as LORD had commanded him, and took in his hand two tablets of stone.

⁹ When I was gone up onto the mount to receive the tablets of stone, even the tablets of the covenant which LORD made with you, then I abode on the mount forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water. ¹⁰ And LORD delivered to me the two tablets of stone written with the finger of God. And on them was according to all the words, which LORD spoke with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly. ¹¹ And it came to pass, at the end of forty days and forty nights, that LORD gave me the two tablets of stone, even the tablets of the covenant.

¹ At that time LORD said to me, Hew thee two tablets of stone like the first, and come up to me onto the mount, and make thee an ark of wood.

³ being seen that ye are a letter of Christ, administered by us, written not in ink, but in the Spirit of the living God, not in stony tablets, but in fleshly tablets, in hearts.

⁷ But if the administration of death in writings engraved on stones occurred in glory, so that the sons of Israel could not gaze upon the face of Moses because of the fading glory of his countenance,

¹⁰ Because this is the covenant that I will ordain with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord, giving my laws into their mind, and I will write them on their hearts. And I will be to them for a God, and they will be to me for a people.

⁹ And Moses said to Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in my hand.

¹³ And Moses rose up, and Joshua his minister, and Moses went up onto the mount of God.

¹⁸ And he said, It is not the voice of those who shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of those who cry for being overcome, but the noise of those who sing do I hear.

⁵ And it shall be, that, when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout. And the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall go up every man straight before him.

¹⁰ And Joshua commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth until the day I bid you shout. Then ye shall shout.

¹⁶ And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, Shout, for LORD has given you the city.

²⁰ So the people shouted, and the priests blew the trumpets. And it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, that the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.

¹⁴ When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him. And the Spirit of LORD came mightily upon him, and the ropes that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands dropped from off his hands.

⁵ And when the ark of the covenant of LORD came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again. ⁶ And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What is the meaning of the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of LORD came into the camp.

²⁰ And David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took, and went as Jesse had commanded him. And he came to the place of the wagons as the army which was going forth to the fight shouted for the battle.

⁵² And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines until thou come to Gai, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath, and to Ekron.

¹¹ And they sang one to another in praising and giving thanks to LORD, saying, For he is good, for his loving kindness is forever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised LORD, because the foundation of the house of LORD was laid. ¹² But many of the priests and Levites and heads of fathers, the old men who had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice, and many shouted aloud for joy. ¹³ So that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people, for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off.

²⁵ As often as the trumpet sounds he says, Aha! And he smells the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.

¹ O clap your hands, all ye peoples. Shout to God with the voice of triumph.

¹⁴ LORD of hosts has sworn by himself, saying, Surely I will fill thee with men as with the canker-worm, and they shall lift up a shout against thee.

¹⁴ But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour the palaces of it, with shouting in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind.

² But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kerioth, and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.

¹ Then Moses and the sons of Israel sang this song to LORD, and spoke, saying, I will sing to LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously. The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea. ² LORD is my strength and song, and he has become my salvation. This is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him. ³ LORD is a man of war. LORD is his name. ⁴ Pharaoh's chariots and his army he has cast into the sea, and his chosen captains are sunk in the Red Sea. ⁵ The deeps cover them. They went down into the depths like a stone. ⁶ Thy right hand, O LORD, is glorious in power. Thy right hand, O LORD, dashes the enemy in pieces. ⁷ And in the greatness of thine excellency thou overthrow those who rise up against thee. Thou send forth thy wrath, it consumes them as stubble. ⁸ And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were piled up. The floods stood up as a heap. The deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea. ⁹ The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil, my desire shall be satisfied upon them. I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them. ¹⁰ Thou did blow with thy wind, the sea covered them. They sank as lead in the mighty waters. ¹¹ Who is like thee, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? ¹² Thou stretched out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them. ¹³ Thou in thy loving kindness have led the people that thou have redeemed. Thou have guided them in thy strength to thy holy habitation. ¹⁴ The peoples have heard, they tremble. Pangs have taken hold on the inhabitants of Philistia. ¹⁵ Then the chiefs of Edom were dismayed, the mighty men of Moab. Trembling takes hold upon them. All the inhabitants of Canaan are melted away. ¹⁶ Terror and dread falls upon them. By the greatness of thine arm they are as still as a stone, till thy people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over whom thou have purchased. ¹⁷ Thou will bring them in, and plant them on the mountain of thine inheritance, the place, O LORD, which thou have made for thee to dwell in, the sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established. ¹⁸ LORD shall reign forever and ever.

⁴ They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.

²³ but have lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven. And they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou and thy lords, thy wives and thy concubines, have drunk wine from them. And thou have praised the gods of silver and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor know. And the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, thou have not glorified.

²⁰ And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand, and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.

⁴ And he received it at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, and made it a molten calf. And they said, These are thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. ⁵ And when Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it. And Aaron made proclamation, and said, Tomorrow shall be a feast to LORD. ⁶ And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings. And the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to revel.

³ Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men who were upon the face of the earth.

¹⁶ And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against LORD your God. Ye had made you a molten calf. Ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which LORD had commanded you. ¹⁷ And I took hold of the two tablets, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.

²⁶ Cursed is every man who does not continue in all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Truly.

¹⁴ And David danced before LORD with all his might. And David was girded with a linen ephod.

³² not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, because they did not continue in my covenant, and I disregarded them, says LORD.

¹⁵ The joy of our heart is ceased, our dance is turned into mourning.

¹⁰ And I took my staff Beauty, and cut it apart, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the peoples. ¹¹ And it was broken in that day, and thus the poor of the flock who gave heed to me knew that it was the word of LORD.

¹⁴ Then I cut apart my other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.

²² But I say to you, that every man who is angry at his brother without cause will be liable to the judgment, and whoever speaks an insult to his brother will be liable to the council, and whoever says, Foolish man, will be liable to the hell of fire.

⁵ And having looked around on them with anger, being grieved at the callousness of their heart, he says to the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored as the other.

¹⁴ But when Jesus saw it, he was displeased, and said to them, Allow the children to come to me. Forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of God.

²⁶ Be ye angry, and sin not. Let not the sun go down upon your wrath,

⁵ But thus shall ye deal with them: Ye shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and hew down their Asherim, and burn their graven images with fire.

²⁵ Ye shall burn the graven images of their gods with fire. Thou shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them, nor take it to thee, lest thou be snared by it, for it is an abomination to LORD thy God.

²¹ And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust. And I cast the dust of it into the brook that descended out of the mount.

⁶ And he brought out the Asherah from the house of LORD, outside Jerusalem, to the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and beat it to dust, and cast the dust of it upon the graves of the common people.

¹⁵ Moreover the altar that was at Bethel, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, even that altar and the high place he broke down. And he burned the high place and beat it to dust, and burned the Asherah.

³¹ Therefore they shall eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.

¹⁴ The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways, and a good man from his own fruits.

⁹ Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said to him, What have thou done to us? And in what have I sinned against thee, that thou have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? Thou have done deeds to me that ought not to be done.

¹⁰ And Abimelech said, What is this thou have done to us? One of the people might easily have lain with thy wife, and thou would have brought guiltiness upon us.

⁶ If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, who is as thine own soul, entices thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou have not known, thou, nor thy fathers, ⁷ of the gods of the peoples that are round about you, near to thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth, ⁸ thou shall not consent to him, nor hearken to him. Neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shall thou spare, neither shall thou conceal him,

¹⁹ And Joshua said to Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to LORD, the God of Israel, and make confession to him, and tell me now what thou have done. Hide it not from me. ²⁰ And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Of a truth I have sinned against LORD, the God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done: ²¹ When I saw among the spoil a goodly Babylonian mantle, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them. And, behold, they are hid in the ground in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it. ²² So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent. And, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it. ²³ And they took them from the midst of the tent, and brought them to Joshua, and to all the sons of Israel, and they laid them down before LORD. ²⁴ And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the mantle, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his donkeys, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had, and they brought them up to the valley of Achor. ²⁵ And Joshua said, Why have thou troubled us? LORD shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and they burned them with fire, and stoned them with stones. ²⁶ And they raised over him a great heap of stones, to this day, and LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger. Therefore the name of that place was called the valley of Achor to this day.

¹⁹ Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it be LORD who has stirred thee up against me, let him accept an offering, but if it be the sons of men, cursed be they before LORD. For they have driven me out this day that I should not cling to the inheritance of LORD, saying, Go, serve other gods.

¹⁶ And he will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he has sinned, and with which he has made Israel to sin.

²² And I will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah for the provocation with which thou have provoked me to anger, and have made Israel to sin.

⁹ But they did not hearken. And Manasseh seduced them to do that which is evil more than did the nations whom LORD destroyed before the sons of Israel. ¹⁰ And LORD spoke by his servants the prophets, saying, ¹¹ Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these abominations, and has done wickedly above all that the Amorites did who were before him, and has made Judah also to sin with his idols,

²⁴ And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?

² And the whole congregation of the sons of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness. ³ And the sons of Israel said to them, Would that we had died by the hand of LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pots, when we ate bread to the full, for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger. ⁴ Then LORD said to Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you, and the people shall go out and gather a day's portion every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or not.

²⁰ Notwithstanding they did not hearken to Moses, but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and became foul, and Moses was angry with them.

²⁸ And LORD said to Moses, How long do ye refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?

² Therefore the people contended with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said to them, Why do ye contend with me? Why do ye challenge LORD? ³ And the people thirsted there for water. And the people murmured against Moses, and said, Why have thou brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our sons and our cattle with thirst? ⁴ And Moses cried to LORD, saying, What shall I do to this people? They are almost ready to stone me.

⁷ Remember, do not thou forget how thou provoked LORD thy God to wrath in the wilderness. From the day that thou went forth out of the land of Egypt, until ye came to this place, ye have been rebellious against LORD.

²⁴ Ye have been rebellious against LORD from the day that I knew you.

²⁴ And Saul said to Samuel, I have sinned, for I have transgressed the commandment of LORD, and thy words, because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.

⁴ He devises iniquity upon his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good. He does not abhor evil.

¹⁶ For they do not sleep unless they do evil. And their sleep is taken away unless they cause to fall.

¹ And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mount, the people gathered themselves together to Aaron, and said to him, Up, make gods for us, which shall go before us. For as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what has become of him. ² And Aaron said to them, Break off the golden rings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them to me. ³ And all the people broke off the golden rings which were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron. ⁴ And he received it at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, and made it a molten calf. And they said, These are thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

¹² And the man said, The woman whom thou gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate. ¹³ And LORD God said to the woman, What is this thou have done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I ate.

²⁹ But he, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbor?

¹⁰ as it is written, There is no righteous man, not even one.

¹⁰ And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked. And I hid myself.

⁴ And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned, and no man put his ornaments on him. ⁵ And LORD said to Moses, Say to the sons of Israel, Ye are a stiff-necked people. If I go up into the midst of thee for one moment, I shall consume thee. Therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do to thee. ⁶ And the sons of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments from mount Horeb onward.

²⁰ And LORD was very angry with Aaron to destroy him. And I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.

¹⁹ For LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel, for he had dealt wantonly in Judah, and trespassed severely against LORD.

³ Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen. I will take vengeance, and will spare no man.

⁶³ that thou may remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more, because of thy shame, when I have forgiven thee all that thou have done, says the lord LORD.

² And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

³ lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and kill her with thirst.

¹¹ Pass away, O inhabitant of Shaphir, in nakedness and shame. The inhabitant of Zaanan has not come forth. The wailing of Beth-ezel shall take from you the stay of it.

²¹ What fruit therefore did ye have then, of which things ye are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.

¹⁷ Because thou say, I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing, and do not know that thou are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked. ¹⁸ I counsel thee to buy from me gold refined from fire, so that thou may become wealthy, and white garments, so that thou may clothe thyself, and the shame of thy nakedness may not be made known, and eye-salve, so that thou may anoint thine eyes, so that thou may see.

¹⁵ (Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, so that he may not walk naked, and they see his shame.)

¹³ And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man opposite him with his sword drawn in his hand. And Joshua went to him, and said to him, Are thou for us, or for our adversaries?

¹¹ And there stood by him one of Joab's young men, and said, He who favors Joab, and he who is for David, let him follow Joab.

³² And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side? Who? And two or three eunuchs looked out to him.

³⁰ He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters.

²⁶ then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Whoever is on LORD's side, come to me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him.

²⁹ And Moses said, Consecrate yourselves today to LORD, yea, every man against his son, and against his brother, that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.

⁵ And Moses said to the judges of Israel, Kill ye every one his men who have joined themselves to Baal-peor.

⁷ And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from the midst of the congregation, and took a spear in his hand. ⁸ And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her body. So the plague was stayed from the sons of Israel. ⁹ And those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand. ¹⁰ And LORD spoke to Moses, saying, ¹¹ Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned my wrath away from the sons of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I did not consume the sons of Israel in my jealousy. ¹² Therefore say, Behold, I give to him my covenant of peace.

⁸ And of Levi he said, Thy Thummim and thy Urim are with thy holy man, whom thou proved at Massah, with whom thou strove at the waters of Meribah, ⁹ who said of his father, and of his mother, I have not seen him, neither did he acknowledge his brothers, nor knew he his own sons, for they have observed thy word, and keep thy covenant.

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

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

³² and the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men that pertained to Korah, and all their goods. ³³ So they, and all that pertained to them, went down alive into Sheol. And the earth closed upon them, and they perished from among the assembly. ³⁴ And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them, for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up. ³⁵ And fire came forth from LORD, and devoured the two hundred and fifty men who offered the incense.

⁴¹ But on the morrow all the congregation of the sons of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of LORD.

⁹ who said of his father, and of his mother, I have not seen him, neither did he acknowledge his brothers, nor knew he his own sons, for they have observed thy word, and keep thy covenant.

⁴ And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment to you, that my covenant may be with Levi, says LORD of hosts. ⁵ My covenant of life and peace was with him. And I gave them to him that he might fear, and he feared me, and stood in awe of my name. ⁶ The law of truth was in his mouth, and unrighteousness was not found in his lips. He walked with me in peace and uprightness, and turned many away from iniquity.

⁸ Nor should we fornicate as some of them fornicated, and twenty-three thousand fell in one day.

² For if the word spoken through agents became certain, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward, ³ how will we escape, having neglected so great a salvation? Which first, having taken to be spoken by the Lord, was verified for us by those who heard;

¹¹ Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned my wrath away from the sons of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I did not consume the sons of Israel in my jealousy. ¹² Therefore say, Behold, I give to him my covenant of peace. ¹³ And it shall be to him, and to his seed after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood, because he was jealous for his God, and made atonement for the sons of Israel.

⁶ If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, who is as thine own soul, entices thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou have not known, thou, nor thy fathers, ⁷ of the gods of the peoples that are round about you, near to thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth, ⁸ thou shall not consent to him, nor hearken to him. Neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shall thou spare, neither shall thou conceal him, ⁹ but thou shall surely kill him. Thy hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. ¹⁰ And thou shall stone him to death with stones, because he has sought to draw thee away from LORD thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. ¹¹ And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall no more do any such wickedness as this is in the midst of thee.

⁹ who said of his father, and of his mother, I have not seen him, neither did he acknowledge his brothers, nor knew he his own sons, for they have observed thy word, and keep thy covenant. ¹⁰ They shall teach Jacob thine ordinances, and Israel thy law. They shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt offering upon thine altar.

¹⁸ And LORD sent thee on a journey, and said, Go, and utterly destroy the sinners, the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed. ¹⁹ Why then did thou not obey the voice of LORD, but did fly upon the spoil, and did that which was evil in the sight of LORD? ²⁰ And Saul said to Samuel, Yes, I have obeyed the voice of LORD, and have gone the way which LORD sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites. ²¹ But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the devoted things, to sacrifice to LORD thy God in Gilgal. ²² And Samuel said, Has LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.

³ To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to LORD than sacrifice.

¹² Yet even now, says LORD, turn ye to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning. ¹³ And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn to LORD your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and relents of the evil. ¹⁴ Who knows whether he will not turn and relent, and leave a blessing behind him, even a meal offering and a drink offering to LORD your God?

³ And it shall come to pass that, when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother who begot him shall say to him, Thou shall not live, for thou speak lies in the name of LORD. And his father and his mother who begot him shall thrust him through when he prophesies.

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

³¹ And Moses returned to LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made gods of gold for them. ³² Yet now, if thou will forgive their sin-, and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou have written.

⁴⁷ And Aaron took as Moses spoke, and ran into the midst of the assembly. And, behold, the plague had begun among the people. And he put on the incense, and made atonement for the people.

¹³ And it shall be to him, and to his seed after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood, because he was jealous for his God, and made atonement for the sons of Israel.

¹⁷ And the sin of the young men was very great before LORD, for the men despised the offering of LORD.

²⁰ And Samuel said to the people, Fear not. Ye have indeed done all this evil, yet turn not aside from following LORD, but serve LORD with all your heart.

²³ Moreover as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against LORD in ceasing to pray for you. But I will instruct you in the good and the right way.

⁹ Why have thou despised the word of LORD, to do that which is evil in his sight? Thou have smitten Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and have taken his wife to be thy wife, and have slain him with the sword of the sons of Ammon.

¹² It may be that LORD will look on the wrong done to me, and that LORD will reward me good for his cursing of me this day.

²¹ For he tore Israel from the house of David. And they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king. And Jeroboam drove Israel from following LORD, and made them sin a great sin.

⁷ And it was so, that, after LORD had spoken these words to Job, LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends. For ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has. ⁸ Now therefore, take to you seven bullocks and seven rams. And go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering. And my servant Job shall pray for you, for him I will accept, that I not deal with you after your folly. For ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.

¹⁵ Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish justice in the gate. It may be that LORD, the God of hosts, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.

⁴⁷ For this reason I say to thee, her many sins are forgiven, because she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, loves little.

¹⁸ After rising, I will go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and in thy sight.

³ For I wished I myself to be accursed from the Christ, for my brothers, my kinsmen according to flesh,

¹³ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, Cursed is every man who hangs on a tree.

²⁵ in meekness correcting those who oppose. Perhaps God may grant them repentance for recognition of the truth,

⁴ Thou shall not make to thee a graven image, nor any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

³⁰ And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said to the people, Ye have sinned a great sin. And now I will go up to LORD, perhaps I shall make atonement for your sin.

²⁸ And he was there with LORD forty days and forty nights. He neither ate bread, nor drank water, and he wrote upon the tablets the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.

¹⁸ And I fell down before LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all your sin which ye sinned, in doing that which was evil in the sight of LORD, to provoke him to anger. ¹⁹ For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure with which LORD was angry against you to destroy you. But LORD hearkened to me that time also.

⁶ and I said, O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God, for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our guiltiness has grown up to the heavens. ⁷ Since the days of our fathers we have been exceedingly guilty to this day. And for our iniquities have we, our kings, and our priests, been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, and to plunder, and to confusion of face, as it is this day.

¹⁵ O LORD, the God of Israel, thou are righteous, for we are left a remnant that is escaped, as it is this day. Behold, we are before thee in our guiltiness, for none can stand before thee because of this.

³³ However thou are just in all that has come upon us, for thou have dealt truly, but we have done wickedly,

⁵ we have sinned, and have dealt perversely, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even turning aside from thy precepts and from thine ordinances,

⁸ O Lord, to us belongs confusion of face, to our kings, to our rulers, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.

¹¹ Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even turning aside, that they should not obey thy voice. Therefore the curse has been poured out upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God. For we have sinned against him.

¹⁰ Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may grow hot against them, and that I may consume them. And I will make of thee a great nation.

¹⁹ Pardon, I pray thee, the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of thy loving kindness, and according as thou have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.

¹⁹ Therefore it shall be, when LORD thy God has given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which LORD thy God gives thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shall blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven. Thou shall not forget.

²⁰ LORD will not pardon him, but then the anger of LORD and his jealousy will smoke against that man, and all the curse that is written in this book shall lie upon him, and LORD will blot out his name from under heaven.

⁸ Thou number my wanderings. Put thou my tears into thy bottle. Are they not in thy book?

²⁸ Let them be blotted out of the book of life, and not be written with the righteous.

¹⁶ Thine eyes saw my unformed substance, and in thy book they were all written, even the days that were ordained, when as yet there was none of them.

⁹ And my hand shall be against the prophets who see false visions, and who divine lies. They shall not be in the council of my people, nor shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel. And ye shall know that I am the lord LORD.

¹⁸ O my God, incline thine ear, and hear. Open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name. For we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousness, but for thy great mercies' sake. ¹⁹ O Lord, hear. O Lord, forgive. O Lord, hearken and do. Defer not, for thine own sake, O my God, because thy city and thy people are called by thy name.

¹ And at that time Michael shall stand up, the great prince who stands for the sons of thy people. And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time. And at that time thy people shall be delivered, everyone who shall be found written in the book.

² And it came to pass that, when they made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O lord LORD, forgive, I beseech thee. How shall Jacob stand, for he is small?

³⁴ And Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they are doing. And dividing his garments, they cast a lot.

³ Yes, I ask thee also, genuine yokefellow, help them-the women who labored with me in the good news-with Clement also, and the rest of my co-workmen whose names are in the book of life.

⁵ He who overcomes, this man will be clothed in white garments, and I will, no, not erase his name out of the book of life. And I will acknowledge his name before my Father, and before his agents.

⁸ The beast that thou saw was, and is not, and is going to ascend out of the abyss and go into destruction. And those who dwell on the earth will wonder, whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast that was, and is not, and will come.

²⁷ And there will, no, not enter into it anything profane, and doing an abomination and a lie, since they are not written in the Lamb's book of life.

¹⁹ And if any man takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life, and from the holy city, the things written in this book.

³⁰ And whatever soul it be who does any manner of work in that same day, that soul I will destroy from among his people.

⁵ Thou have rebuked the nations. Thou have destroyed the wicked. Thou have blotted out their name forever and ever.

¹³ Let his posterity be cut off. In the generation following let their name be blotted out. ¹⁴ Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with LORD, and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

⁴ Behold, all souls are mine, as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine. The soul that sins, it shall die.

⁸ And all who dwell upon the earth will worship it, whose name has not been written in the book of life of the Lamb who was killed from the foundation of the world.

¹² And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the one of life. And the dead were judged from the things that were written in the books, according to their works.

¹⁷ And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, to a land flowing with milk and honey.

⁵ Thou shall not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them, for I, LORD thy God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons, upon the third and upon the fourth generation of those who hate me,

²⁰ Behold, I send an agent before thee, to keep thee by the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.

² And I will send an agent before thee, and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite-

²⁷ How long shall I bear with this evil congregation that murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the sons of Israel, which they murmur against me. ²⁸ Say to them, As I live, says LORD, surely as ye have spoken in my ears, so will I do to you. ²⁹ Your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness. And all who were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against me, ³⁰ surely ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore that I would make you dwell in it, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

¹⁶ And when we cried to LORD, he heard our voice, and sent an agent, and brought us forth out of Egypt. And, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the outermost of thy border.

³⁵ Vengeance is for me, and recompense at the time when their foot shall slide. For the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that are to come upon them shall make haste.

⁸ Thou answered them, O LORD our God. Thou were a God who forgave them, though thou took vengeance on their doings.

⁹ In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the agent of his presence saved them. In his love and in his pity he redeemed them. And he bore them, and carried them all the days of old.

⁹ Shall I not visit for these things? says LORD. And shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

²⁹ Shall I not visit for these things? says LORD. Shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

¹⁴ For in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him, I will also visit the altars of Bethel, and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground.

³⁵ so that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom ye murdered between the sanctuary and the altar.

⁴ Or do thou despise the wealth of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God guides thee to repentance? ⁵ But according to thy hardness, and thy impenitent heart, thou store up wrath to thyself in the day of wrath, and revelation, and righteous judgment of God, ⁶ who will render to each man according to his works,

²⁵ And when Moses saw that the people were broken loose, (for Aaron had let them loose for a derision among their enemies,)

⁹ Why have thou despised the word of LORD, to do that which is evil in his sight? Thou have smitten Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and have taken his wife to be thy wife, and have slain him with the sword of the sons of Ammon. ¹⁰ Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thy house, because thou have despised me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.

³ Then Judas, who betrayed him, after seeing that he was condemned, having repented, he brought back the thirty silver pieces to the chief priests and elders, ⁴ saying, I sinned, having betrayed innocent blood. But they said, What is it to us? See thou to it. ⁵ And having cast down the silver pieces in the temple, he departed, and after going away, he hanged himself. ⁶ And after taking the silver pieces, the chief priests said, It is not permitted to put them into the treasury, since it is a price of blood. ⁷ And having held consultation, they bought the potter's field with them for burial for foreigners.

¹⁸ (Indeed therefore this man obtained a field from the reward of his unrighteousness, and having become headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out.
