²⁸ hereof are they fat and wealthy, and are run away from me with shameful blasphemies. They minister not the law, they make no end of the fatherless cause, they judge not the poor according to equity.

²⁸ For they are all unfaithful and fallen away, they hang upon filthy lucre; they are clean brass and iron, for they hurt and destroyed every man.

⁶ If ye will not oppress the stranger, the fatherless and the widow; if ye will not shed innocent blood in this place; if ye will not cleave to strange gods to your own destruction;

¹¹ Forsomuch then as ye oppress the poor, and rob him of his best sustenance: therefore, where as ye have builded houses of square stone, ye shall not dwell in them. Marvelous pleasant vineyards shall ye plant; but the wine of them shall ye not drink. And why? ¹² As for the multitude of your wickednesses and your stout sins, I know them right well. Enemies are ye of the righteous; ye take rewards; ye oppress the poor in judgment.

¹ Hear, O ye heads of the house of Jacob, and ye leaders of the house of Israel: Should not ye know, what were lawful and right? ² But ye hate the good, and love the evil: ye pluck off men's skins, and the flesh from their bones; ³ ye eat the flesh of my people, and flay of their skin; ye break their bones, ye chop them in pieces as it were into a cauldron, and as flesh into a pot. ⁴ Now the time shall come, that when they call unto the LORD, he shall not hear them, but hide his face from them, because that through their own Imaginations they have dealt so wickedly.

¹ Woe to the abominable, filthy and cruel city: ² which will not hear, nor be reformed. Her trust is not in the LORD, neither will she hold her to her God. ³ Her rulers within her are as roaring lions: her judges are as wolves in the evening, which leave nothing behind them till the morrow. ⁴ Her prophets are light persons and unfaithful men: her priests unhallow the Sanctuary, and do wrong under the pretence of the law. ⁵ I will come and punish you, and I myself will be a swift witness against the witches, against the adulterers, against false swearers: yea, and against those that wrongfully keep back the hireling's duty, which vex the widows and the fatherless, and oppress the stranger, and fear not me, sayeth the LORD of Hosts.

⁵ Hearken, my dear beloved brethren, hath not God chosen the poor of this world, which are rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom, which he promised to them that love him? ⁶ But ye have despised the poor. Are not the rich they which oppress you: and they which draw you before judges?

¹³ "Thou shalt not kill.

¹ Thou shalt not accept a vain tale, neither shalt put thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.

⁷ and keepest mercy in store for thousands, and forgivest wickedness, trespass and sin — for there is no man innocent before thee — and visitest the wickedness of the fathers upon the children and upon children's children, even unto the third and fourth generation."

²⁵ "'Cursed be he that taketh a reward to slay innocent blood.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.'

²³ For if thou wilt turn to the Almighty, thou shalt stand fast, and all unrighteousness shall be far from thy dwelling:

¹⁴ Come not in the path of the ungodly, and walk not in the way of the wicked. ¹⁵ Eschew it, and go not therein: depart aside, and pass over by it.

¹⁵ The LORD hateth as well him that justifieth the ungodly, as him that condemneth the innocent.

¹⁵ He that leadeth a godly life - say I - and speaketh the truth; He that abhorreth to do violence and deceit; he that keepeth his hand that he touch no reward; which stoppeth his ears, that he hear no counsel against the innocent; which holdeth down his eyes, that he see none evil.

³ The LORD suffereth long, he is of great power, and so innocent that he leaveth no man faultless before him. The LORD goeth forth in tempest and stormy weather; the clouds are the dust of his feet.

¹⁸ For the wrath of God appeareth from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men which withhold the truth in unrighteousness.

⁵ But thou, after thine hard heart that cannot repent, heapest thee together the treasure of wrath against the day of vengeance: when shall be opened the righteous judgment of God, ⁶ which will reward every man according to his deeds,

²² Abstain from all suspicious things.

¹⁷ For the LORD your God, he is God of Gods and Lord of lords; a great God, a mighty and a terrible which regardeth no man's person nor taketh gifts:

³ Nevertheless, his sons followed not his steps: but turned aside after lucre and took rewards, and perverted the right.

³ Behold, here I am. Answer me before the LORD and before his anointed, whose ox have I taken? Or whose ass have I taken? Whom have I done wrong to? Or whom have I oppressed? And of whose hand have I received any bribe, to blind mine eyes therewith? And I will restore it you again."

¹⁰ in whose hands is wickedness, and their righthand is full of gifts.

²⁷ The covetous man rooteth up his own house; but whoso hateth rewards, shall live.

⁸ Liberality is a precious stone unto him that hath it; for wheresoever he becometh, he prospereth.

²³ The ungodly taketh gifts out of the bosom, to wrest the ways of judgment.

⁴ Riches make many friends; but the poor is forsaken of his own friends.

⁷ Whoso doeth wrong, maketh a wise man to go out of his wit, and destroyeth a gentle heart.

¹³ Offer me no more oblations, for it is but lost labour. I abhor your incense. I may not away with your new moons, your Sabbaths and solemn days. Your fastings are also in vain.

²³ These give sentence with the ungodly for rewards, but condemn the just cause of the righteous.

¹² Yea, gifts have been received in thee to shed blood. Thou hast taken usury and increase, thou hast oppressed thy neighbours by extortion, and forgotten me, sayeth the LORD God.

¹⁸ Their drunkenness hath put them back, and brought them to whoredom. Their rulers love rewards; "Bring," say they, to their own shame.

¹² As for the multitude of your wickednesses and your stout sins, I know them right well. Enemies are ye of the righteous; ye take rewards; ye oppress the poor in judgment.

³ yet they say they do well when they do evil. As the prince will, so sayeth the judge: that he may do him a pleasure again. The great man speaketh what his heart desireth; and the hearers allow him.

²¹ But and if they continue a day or two, it shall not be avenged for they are his money.

²¹ Vex not a stranger, neither oppress him, for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

¹⁹ Love therefore the stranger, for ye were strangers yourselves in the land of Egypt.

¹⁴ Thou shalt not defraud a hired servant that is needy and poor, whether he be of thy brethren or a stranger that is in thy land within thy cities. ¹⁵ Give him his hire the same day, and let not the sun go down thereon. For he is needy and therewith sustaineth his life, lest he cry against thee unto the LORD and it be sin unto thee. ¹⁶ The fathers shall not die for the children nor the children for the fathers: but every man shall die for his own sin. ¹⁷ Hinder not the right of the stranger nor of the fatherless, nor take widow's raiment to pledge. ¹⁸ But remember that thou wast a servant in Egypt, and how the LORD thy God delivered thee thence. Wherefore I command thee to do this thing.

⁶ They murder the widow and the stranger, and put the fatherless to death.

⁷ In thee have they despised father and mother, in thee have they oppressed the stranger, in thee have they vexed the widow and the fatherless.

³³ Was it not mete also, that thou shouldest have had compassion on thy fellow, even as I had pity on thee?'

¹⁷ Wherefore in all things it became him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be merciful, and a faithful high priest in things concerning God, for to purge the people's sins. ¹⁸ For in that he himself suffered, and was tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

³ Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt cut thy vines and gather in thy fruits. ⁴ But the seventh year shall be a Sabbath of rest unto the land. The LORD's Sabbath it shall be, and thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor cut thy vines.

² "Speak unto the children of Israel and say unto them, 'When ye be come in to the land which I give you, let the land rest a Sabbath unto the LORD. ³ Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt cut thy vines and gather in thy fruits. ⁴ But the seventh year shall be a Sabbath of rest unto the land. The LORD's Sabbath it shall be, and thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor cut thy vines. ⁵ The corn that groweth by itself thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes that grow without thy dressing: but it shall be a Sabbath of rest unto the land. ⁶ Nevertheless the Sabbath of the land shall be meat for you: even for thee and thy servant and for thy maid and for thy hired servant and for the stranger that dwelleth with thee: ⁷ and for thy cattle and for the beasts that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be meat.

¹¹ A year of horns blowing shall that fiftieth year be unto you. Ye shall not sow neither reap the corn that groweth by itself, nor gather the grapes that grow without thy labour. ¹² For it is a year of horns blowing and shall be holy unto you: how be it, yet ye shall eat of the increase of the field.

²⁰ "'If ye shall say: What shall we eat the seventh year inasmuch as we shall not sow nor gather in our increase?

²² and ye shall sow the eighth year and eat of old fruit until the ninth year, and even until her fruits come, ye shall eat of old store.

³⁴ Then the land shall rejoice in her Sabbaths, as long as it lieth void and ye in your enemies' land: even then shall the land keep holy day and rejoice in her Sabbaths. ³⁵ And as long as it lieth void it shall rest, for that it could not rest in your Sabbaths, when ye dwelt therein.

⁸ "Remember the Sabbath day that thou sanctify it. ⁹ Six days mayest thou labour and do all that thou hast to do: ¹⁰ but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God, in it thou shalt do no manner work: neither thou nor thy son, nor thy daughter, neither thy manservant nor thy maidservant, neither thy cattle neither yet the stranger that is within thy gates. ¹¹ For in six days the LORD made both heaven and earth and the sea and all that in them is and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

¹⁵ Six days shall men work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the holy rest of the LORD: so that whosoever doeth any work in the Sabbath day, shall die for it. ¹⁶ Wherefore let the children of Israel keep the Sabbath, that they observe it throughout their generations, that it be an covenant forever.

²¹ "Six days thou shalt work, and the seventh thou shalt rest: both from earing and reaping.

³ Moreover, ye shall kindle no fire throughout all your habitations upon the Sabbath day."

¹³ Six days thou shalt labour and do all that thou hast to do, ¹⁴ but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God; thou shalt do no manner work: neither thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy servant, nor thy maid, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor the stranger that is within thy city, that thy servant and thy maid may rest as well as thou. ¹⁵ And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and how that the LORD God brought thee out thence with a mighty hand and a stretched out arm. For which cause the LORD thy God commandeth thee to keep the Sabbath day.

³ They seek of me righteous judgments, and will draw nigh unto God. Why have we fasted and thou hast not looked upon it? Have humbled our souls, and thou wouldest not wit it?

¹⁴ And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath day, and said unto the people, "There are six days in the week, in which men ought to work, in them come and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day."

³⁸ Nebo, Baalmeon — and turned their names — and Sibmah also: and gave names unto the cities which they built.

⁹ Take heed to thyself therefore only and keep thy soul diligently, that thou forget not the things which thine eyes have seen, and that they depart not out of thine heart, all the days of thine life: but teach them thy sons, and thy son's sons.

¹⁵ Take heed unto yourselves diligently as pertaining unto your souls, for ye saw no manner of image the day when the LORD spake unto you in Horeb out of the fire;

³ Overthrow their altars and break their pillars and burn their groves with fire and hew down the images of their gods, and bring the names of them to nought out of that place.

⁵ But in any wise take exceeding good heed that ye do the commandment and law which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you: which is, that ye love the LORD your God, and walk in his ways and keep his commandments, and cleave unto him, and serve him with all your hearts and all your souls."

⁷ and that ye go not unto these nations that remain with you: and that ye neither make mention or swear by the names of their gods, and that ye neither serve them nor bow yourselves unto them.

¹¹ Take good heed therefore unto your souls, that ye love the LORD your God.

⁷ and will establish his kingdom forever. If he will harden himself to do my commandments, and my laws, as it goeth this day.' ⁸ And now I say unto you before all Israel, the congregation of the LORD, and in the audience of our God: keep and seek for all the commandments of the LORD your God, that ye may enjoy a good land and inherit your children after you forever. ⁹ And thou, Solomon my son: know God thy father and serve him with a pure heart and lust of soul. For the LORD searcheth all hearts and understandeth all the imaginations of thoughts. If thou shalt seek him, he will be found of thee: But and if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off forever.

⁴ But they that run after another god shall have great trouble. Their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, neither make mention of their names within my lips.

¹ {To the Chanter, for praising, a Psalm of David} I said, "I will take heed to my ways, that I offend not in my tongue. I will keep my mouth as it were with a bridle, while the ungodly is in my sight."

¹¹ As for their gods, it may well be said of them, "They are gods, that made neither heaven nor earth: therefore shall they perish from the earth, and from all things under heaven."

¹⁷ For I will take away those names of Baal from her mouth, yea she shall never remember their names any more.

² And then, sayeth the LORD of Hosts, I will destroy the names of Idols out of the land: so that they shall no more be put in remembrance. As for the false prophets also and the unclean spirit, I shall take them out of the land:

¹² For it is shame even to name those things which are done of them in secret:

¹⁵ Take heed therefore that ye walk circumspectly — not as fools, but as wise -

¹⁶ Take heed unto thyself and unto learning, and continue therein. For if thou shalt so do, thou shalt save thyself, and them that hear thee.

¹⁵ And look to, that no man be destitute of the grace of God, and that no root of bitterness spring up and trouble; and thereby many be defiled:

¹⁷ "Three times in a year shall all thy men children appear before the Lord Jehovah.

²² Thou shalt observe the feast of weeks with the first fruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the years' end. ²³ Thrice in a year shall all your men children appear before the Lord Jehovah, God of Israel: ²⁴ for I will cast out the nations before thee and will enlarge thy coasts, so that no man shall desire thy land, while thou goest up to appear before the face of the LORD thy God, thrice in the year.

⁵ The fourteenth day of the first month at evening is the LORD's Passover.

¹⁶ even unto the morrow after the seventh week ye shall number fifty days. And then ye shall bring a new meat offering unto the LORD.

³⁴ "Speak unto the children of Israel, and say, 'The fifteenth day of the same seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles, seven days unto the LORD.

¹⁶ Three times in the year shall all your males appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose: In the feast of sweet bread, in the feast of weeks and in the feast of the tabernacles. And they shall not appear before the LORD empty:

¹⁴ And this day shall be unto you a remembrance, and ye shall keep it holy unto the LORD: even throughout your generations after you shall ye keep it holy day, that it be a custom forever. ¹⁵ Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread, so that even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses. For whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be plucked out from Israel. ¹⁶ "The first day shall be a holy feast unto you, and the seventh also. There shall be no manner of work done in them, save about that only which every man must eat: that only may ye do. ¹⁷ And see that ye keep you to unleavened bread. For upon that same day I will bring your armies out of the land of Egypt, therefore ye shall observe this day and all your children after you, that it be a custom forever. ¹⁸ The first month and the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat sweet bread unto the twenty-first day of the month at even again. ¹⁹ Seven days see that there be no leavened bread found in your houses. For whosoever eateth leavened bread, that soul shall be rooted out from the multitude of Israel: whether he be a stranger or born in the land. ²⁰ Therefore see that ye eat no leavened bread, but in all your habitations eat sweet bread." ²¹ And Moses called for the elders of Israel and said unto them, "Choose out, and take to every household a sheep and kill, Passover. ²² And take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike it upon the upper post and on the two side posts, and see that none of you go out at the door of his house until the morning. ²³ For the LORD will go about and smite Egypt. And when he seeth the blood upon the upper door post and on the two side posts, he will pass over the door and will not suffer the destroyer to come into your house to plague you. ²⁴ Therefore see that thou observe this thing, that it be an ordinance to thee, and thy sons forever. ²⁵ And when ye be come into the land which the LORD will give you according as he hath promised, see that ye keep this service. ²⁶ And when your children ask you, 'What manner of service is this ye do?' ²⁷ Ye shall say, 'It is the sacrifice of the LORD's Passover, which passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, as he smote the Egyptians and saved our houses.'" Then the people bowed themselves and worshipped. ²⁸ And the children of Israel went and did as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.

⁴³ And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, "This is the manner of Passover: there shall no stranger eat thereof, ⁴⁴ but all the servants that are bought for money shall ye circumcise, and then let them eat thereof. ⁴⁵ A stranger and a hired servant shall not eat thereof. ⁴⁶ In one house shall it be eaten. Ye shall carry none of the flesh out at the doors: moreover, see that ye break not a bone thereof. ⁴⁷ All the multitude of the children of Israel shall observe it. ⁴⁸ If a stranger dwell among you, and will hold Passover unto the LORD, let him circumcise all that be males, and then let him come and observe it, and be taken as one that is born in the land. No uncircumcised person shall eat thereof. ⁴⁹ One manner of law shall be unto them that are born in the land, and unto the strangers that dwell among you."

⁴ This day come ye out of Egypt in the month of Abib.

⁶ Seven days thou shalt eat sweet bread, and the seventh day shall be feastful unto the LORD. ⁷ Therefore thou shalt eat sweet bread seven days, and see that there be no leavened bread seen nor yet leaven among you in all your quarters.

¹⁸ The feast of sweet bread shalt thou keep, and seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed in the month of Abib: for in the month of Abib thou camest out of Egypt.

²⁰ But the first of the ass thou shalt buy out with a sheep, or if thou redeem him not: see thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou must needs redeem. And see that no man appear before me empty.

⁵ The fourteenth day of the first month at evening is the LORD's Passover. ⁶ And the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of sweet bread unto the LORD; seven days ye must eat unleavened bread. ⁷ The first day shall be a holy feast unto you, so that ye may do no laborious work therein. ⁸ But ye shall offer sacrifices unto the LORD seven days, and the seventh day also shall be a holy feast, so that ye may do no laborious work therein.'"

¹⁰ "Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, 'When ye be come into the land which I give unto you and reap down your harvest, ye shall bring a sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest unto the priest,

² "Let the children of Israel offer Passover in his season: ³ even the fourteenth day of this month at even they shall keep it in his season, according to all the ordinances and manners thereof." ⁴ And Moses bade the children of Israel that they should offer Passover, ⁵ and they offered Passover the fourteenth day of the first month at even in the wilderness of Sinai: and did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses. ⁶ And it chanced that certain men which were defiled with a dead corpse, that they might not offer Passover the same day, came before Moses and Aaron the same day, ⁷ and said, "We are defiled upon a dead corpse, wherefore are we kept back that we may not offer an offering unto the LORD in the due season, among the children of Israel?" ⁸ And Moses said unto them, "Tarry, that I may hear what the LORD will command you." ⁹ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, ¹⁰ "Speak unto the children of Israel, and say, 'If any man among you or your children after you be unclean by the reason of a corpse or is in the way far off, then let him offer Passover unto the LORD: ¹¹ the fourteenth day of the second month at even, and eat it with sweet bread and sour herbs, ¹² and let them leave none of it unto the morning nor break any bone of it. And according to all the ordinance of the Passover let them offer it. ¹³ But if a man be clean and not let in a journey, and yet was negligent to offer Passover, the same soul shall perish from his people, because he brought not an offering unto the LORD in his due season: and he shall bear his sin. ¹⁴ And when a stranger dwelleth among you and will offer Passover unto the LORD, according to the ordinance of Passover and manner thereof shall he offer it. And ye shall have one law both for the stranger and for him that was born at home in the land.'"

¹⁶ And the fourteenth day of the first month shall be Passover unto the LORD. ¹⁷ And the fifteenth day of the same month shall be a feast, in which seven days men must eat unleavened bread. ¹⁸ The first day shall be a holy feast, so that ye shall do no manner of laborious work therein. ¹⁹ And ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the LORD, two bullocks, one ram, and seven lambs of a year old without spot, ²⁰ and their meat offering of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals unto a bullock, and two tenth deals unto a ram, ²¹ and evermore one tenth deal unto a lamb, throughout the seven lambs: ²² and a he-goat for a sin offering to make an atonement for you. ²³ And ye shall offer these, beside the burnt offering in the morning that is always offered. ²⁴ And after this manner ye shall offer throughout the seven days, the food of the sacrifice of sweet favour unto the LORD. And it shall be done beside the daily burnt offering and his drink offering. ²⁵ And the seventh day shall be a holy feast unto you, so that ye shall do no laborious work therein.

¹ Observe the month of Abib, and offer Passover unto the LORD thy God. For in the month of Abib, the LORD thy God brought thee out of Egypt by night: ² Thou shalt therefore offer Passover unto the LORD thy God, and sheep and oxen in the place which the LORD shall choose to make his name dwell there. ³ Thou shalt eat no leavened bread therewith: but shalt eat therewith the bread of tribulation seven days long. For thou camest out of the land of Egypt in haste, that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest out of the land of Egypt, all days of thy life. ⁴ And see that there be no leavened bread seen in all thy coasts seven days long, and that there remain nothing of the flesh which thou hast offered the first day at evening, until the morning. ⁵ Thou mayest not offer Passover in any of thy cities which the LORD thy God giveth thee: ⁶ But in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to make his name dwell in, there thou shalt offer Passover at evening about the going down of the sun, even in the season that thou camest out of Egypt. ⁷ And thou shalt seethe and eat it in the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen, and depart on the morrow and get thee unto thy tent. ⁸ Six days thou shalt eat sweet bread, and the seventh day is for the people to come together to the LORD thy God, that thou mayest do no work.

¹⁰ And the children of Israel pitched their tents in Gilgal, and held the feast of Passover the fourteenth day of the month, at even, in the fields of Jericho. ¹¹ And they ate of the corn of the land on the morrow after Passover, sweet cakes and parched corn in the selfsame day.

²¹ And the king commanded all the people, saying, "Keep the feast of passover unto the LORD your God, as it is written in the book of this covenant." ²² For there was no passover held like that from the days of the judges that judged Israel, and throughout all the days of the kings of Israel and of Judah. ²³ And in the eighteenth year of king Josiah was this passover holden to the LORD in Jerusalem.

⁹ Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstlings of all thine increase: ¹⁰ So shall thy barns be filled with plenteousness, and thy presses shall flow over with sweet wine.

¹² And the first day of sweet bread, when men offer the paschal lamb, his disciples said unto him, "Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the Easter lamb?"

⁷ Then came the day of sweet bread, when of necessity the Easter lamb must be offered.

⁷ Purge therefore the old leaven, that ye may be new dough, as ye are sweet bread. For Christ our Easter lamb is offered up for us. ⁸ Therefore let us keep holiday, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of maliciousness and wickedness — but with the sweet bread of pureness and truth.

²⁹ Thy fruits, whether they be dry or moist, see thou keep not back. Thy firstborn son thou shalt give me:

²² Thou shalt observe the feast of weeks with the first fruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the years' end.

⁹ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, ¹⁰ "Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, 'When ye be come into the land which I give unto you and reap down your harvest, ye shall bring a sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest unto the priest, ¹¹ and he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD to be accepted for you: and even the morrow after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it. ¹² And ye shall offer the day when he waveth the sheaf, a lamb without blemish of a year old for a burnt offering unto the LORD: ¹³ and the meat offering thereof, two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil to be a sacrifice unto the LORD of a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereto, the fourth deal of a hin of wine. ¹⁴ And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor frumenty of new corn: until the self same day that ye have brought an offering unto your God. And this shall be a law forever unto your children after you, wheresoever ye dwell. ¹⁵ "'And ye shall count from the morrow after the Sabbath: even from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering, seven weeks complete: ¹⁶ even unto the morrow after the seventh week ye shall number fifty days. And then ye shall bring a new meat offering unto the LORD. ¹⁷ And ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves made of two tenth deals of fine flour, leavened and baken, for first fruits unto the LORD. ¹⁸ And ye shall bring with the bread seven lambs without deformity of one year of age, and one young ox, and two rams, which shall serve for burnt offerings unto the LORD, with meat offerings and drink offerings longing to the same, to be a sacrifice of a sweet savour unto the LORD. ¹⁹ And ye shall offer a he goat for a sin offering: and two lambs of one year old for peace offerings. ²⁰ And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the first fruits before the LORD, and with the two lambs. And they shall be holy unto the LORD, and be the priest's. ²¹ And ye shall make a proclamation the same day that it be a holy feast unto you, and ye shall do no laborious work therein. And it shall be a law forever throughout all your habitations unto your children after you.

³⁴ "Speak unto the children of Israel, and say, 'The fifteenth day of the same seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles, seven days unto the LORD. ³⁵ The first day shall be a holy feast, so that ye shall do no laborious work therein. ³⁶ Seven days ye shall offer sacrifice unto the LORD, and the eighth day shall be a holy feast unto you, and ye shall offer sacrifice unto the LORD. It is the end of the feast, and ye shall do no laborious work therein. ³⁷ "'These are the feasts of the LORD which ye shall proclaim holy feasts, for to offer sacrifice unto the LORD, burnt offerings, meat offerings, and drink offerings every day: ³⁸ beside the Sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and all your vows, and all your freewill offerings which ye shall give unto the LORD. ³⁹ "'Moreover in the fifteenth day of the seventh month after that ye have gathered in the fruits of the land, ye shall keep holy day unto the LORD seven days long. The first day shall be a day of rest, and the eighth day shall be a day of rest. ⁴⁰ And ye shall take you the first day, the fruits of goodly trees and the branches of palm trees and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook, and shall rejoice before the LORD seven days. ⁴¹ And ye shall keep it holy day unto the LORD seven days in the year. And it shall be a law forever unto your children after you, that ye keep that feast in the seventh month. ⁴² And ye shall dwell in booths seven days: even all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths, ⁴³ that your children after you may know how that I made the children of Israel dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: for I am the LORD your God.'" ⁴⁴ And Moses told all the feasts of the LORD unto the children of Israel.

²⁶ And the day of your first fruits when ye bring a new meat offering unto the LORD in your weeks, shall be a holy feast unto you: ²⁷ so that ye shall do no laborious work therein. And ye shall offer a burnt offering of a sweet savour unto the LORD: two young bullocks, and a ram, and seven lambs of a year old apiece, ²⁸ with their meat offerings of flour mingled with oil three tenth deals unto a bullock two tenth deals to a ram, ²⁹ and evermore one tenth deal unto a lamb throughout the seven lambs, ³⁰ and a he-goat to make an atonement for you. ³¹ And this ye shall do besides the daily burnt offering, and his meat offering: and they shall be without spot, with their drink offerings.

¹² And the fifteenth day of the seventh month shall be a holy day and ye shall do no laborious work therein, and ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD of seven days long. ¹³ And ye shall offer a burnt offering of a sweet savour unto the LORD: thirteen bullocks two rams and fourteen lambs which are yearlings and pure, ¹⁴ with oil, three tenth deals unto every one of the thirteen bullocks: two tenth deals to either of the rams, ¹⁵ and one tenth deal unto each of the fourteen lambs. ¹⁶ And one he-goat unto a sin offering, beside the daily burnt offering with his meat and drink offerings. ¹⁷ And the second day, twelve young bullocks, two rams, and fourteen yearling lambs without spot: ¹⁸ and their meat offerings and drink offerings unto the bullocks, rams and lambs, according to the number of them and after the manner. ¹⁹ And a he-goat for a sin offering, beside the daily burnt offering and his meat and drink offerings. ²⁰ And the third day, eleven bullocks two rams and fourteen yearling lambs without spot: ²¹ and their meat and drink offerings unto the bullocks, rams and lambs, after the number of them and according to the manner. ²² And a he-goat for a sin offering, beside the daily burnt offering and his meat and drink offerings. ²³ And the fourth day, ten bullocks two rams and fourteen lambs, yearlings and pure: ²⁴ and their meat and drink offerings unto the bullocks, rams and lambs, according to their number and after the manner. ²⁵ And a he-goat for a sin offering, beside the daily burnt offering and his meat and drink offerings. ²⁶ And the fifth day, nine bullocks, two rams and fourteen lambs of one year old apiece without spot. ²⁷ And their meat and drink offerings unto the bullocks, rams and lambs, according to the number of them and after the manner. ²⁸ And a he-goat for a sin offering, beside the daily burnt offering and his meat and drink offerings. ²⁹ And the sixth day, eight bullocks, two rams and fourteen yearling lambs without spot. ³⁰ And their meat and drink offerings unto the bullocks, rams and lambs, according to the manner. ³¹ And a he-goat for a sin offering, beside the daily burnt offering and his meat and drink offerings. ³² And the seventh day, seven bullocks, two rams and fourteen lambs that are yearlings and pure. ³³ And their meat and drink offerings unto the bullocks, rams and lambs, according to their number and to the manner. ³⁴ And a he-goat for a sin offering, beside the daily burnt offering and his meat and drink offerings. ³⁵ And the eighth day shall be the conclusion of the feast unto you, and ye shall do no manner laborious work therein. ³⁶ And ye shall offer a burnt offering of a sweet savour unto the LORD: one bullock, one ram and seven yearling lambs without spot. ³⁷ And the meat and drink offerings unto the bullock, ram and lambs, according to their numbers and according to the manner. ³⁸ And a he-goat for a sin offering beside the daily burnt offering and his meat and drink offerings. ³⁹ These things ye shall do unto the LORD in your feasts: beside your vows and freewill offerings, in your burnt offerings, meat offerings, drink offerings and peace offerings."'

⁹ Then reckon the seven weeks, and begin to reckon the seven weeks when the sickle beginneth in the corn, ¹⁰ and keep the feast of weeks unto the LORD thy God, that thou give a freewill offering of thine hand unto the LORD thy God according as the LORD thy God hath blessed thee. ¹¹ And rejoice before the LORD thy God: both thou, thy son, thy daughter, thy servant and thy maid, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger, the fatherless and the widow that are among you, in the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to make his name dwell there. ¹² And remember that thou was a servant in Egypt, that thou observe and do these ordinances. ¹³ Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days long, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine. ¹⁴ And thou shalt rejoice in that thy feast; both thou and thy son, thy daughter, thy servant, thy maid, the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless and the widow that are in thy cities. ¹⁵ Seven days thou shalt keep holy day unto the LORD thy God, in the place which the LORD shall choose: for the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy fruits and in all the works of thine hands, and thou shalt be all together gladness.

¹⁴ And they found written in the law, how that the LORD had commanded by Moses that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month. ¹⁵ And so they caused it be declared and proclaimed in all their cities, and at Jerusalem, saying, "Go up unto the mount and fetch Olive branches, and Pine branches, Myrtle branches, Palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written." ¹⁶ And the people went up, and fetched them, and made them booths, every one upon the roof of his house, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the street by the Watergate, and in the street by port Ephraim. ¹⁷ And all the congregation of them that were come again out of the captivity, made booths, and dwelt therein. For since the time of Jeshua the son of Nun unto this day, had not the children of Israel done so, and there was very great gladness. ¹⁸ And every day from the first day unto the last, read he in the book of the law of God. And seven days held they the feast, and on the eighth day they gathered together, according unto the manner.

¹⁶ Every one that remaineth then of all the people, which came against Jerusalem, shall go up yearly, to worship the King, even the LORD of Hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. ¹⁷ And look: what generation upon earth goeth not up to Jerusalem for to worship the King, even the LORD of Hosts: upon the same shall come no rain. ¹⁸ If the kindred of Egypt go not up, and come not, it shall not rain upon them neither. This shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all Heathen, that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. ¹⁹ Yea, this shall be the sin plague of Egypt and the sin plague of all people that go not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

² The Jews' tabernacle feast was at hand.

³⁷ In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, "If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink.

¹ When the fiftieth day was come, they were all with one accord gathered together in one place.

¹⁴ "Three feasts thou shalt hold unto me in a year.

²³ Thrice in a year shall all your men children appear before the Lord Jehovah, God of Israel:

⁵ but ye shall enquire the place which the LORD your God shall have chosen out of all your tribes to put his name there and there to dwell.

¹¹ when all Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy God, in the place which he hath chosen: see that thou read this law before all Israel in their ears.

⁷ They will go from strength to strength, and unto the God of Gods appeareth every one of them in Zion.

⁴² And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.

⁸ And they shall eat the flesh the same night, roast with fire, and with unleavened bread, and with sour herbs they shall eat it.

¹⁰ And see that ye let nothing of it remain unto the morning: if ought remain, burn it with fire.

¹⁵ Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread, so that even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses. For whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be plucked out from Israel.

²⁵ "Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread: neither shall ought of the sacrifice of the feast of Passover, be left unto the morning.

¹¹ "'All the meat offerings which ye shall bring unto the LORD shall be made without leaven. For ye shall neither burn leaven nor honey in any offering of the LORD.

¹² If he offer to give thanks, he shall bring unto his thank offering: sweet cakes mingled with oil and sweet wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mingled with oil of fine flour fried,

¹⁵ And the flesh of the thank offering of his peace offerings shall be eaten the same day that it is offered, and there shall none of it be laid up until the morning.

⁴ And see that there be no leavened bread seen in all thy coasts seven days long, and that there remain nothing of the flesh which thou hast offered the first day at evening, until the morning.

²⁶ The first of the first fruits of thy land, thou shalt bring unto the house of the LORD thy God. And see that thou seethe not a kid in his mother's milk."

¹⁰ "Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, 'When ye be come into the land which I give unto you and reap down your harvest, ye shall bring a sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest unto the priest, ¹¹ and he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD to be accepted for you: and even the morrow after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it. ¹² And ye shall offer the day when he waveth the sheaf, a lamb without blemish of a year old for a burnt offering unto the LORD: ¹³ and the meat offering thereof, two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil to be a sacrifice unto the LORD of a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereto, the fourth deal of a hin of wine. ¹⁴ And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor frumenty of new corn: until the self same day that ye have brought an offering unto your God. And this shall be a law forever unto your children after you, wheresoever ye dwell. ¹⁵ "'And ye shall count from the morrow after the Sabbath: even from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering, seven weeks complete: ¹⁶ even unto the morrow after the seventh week ye shall number fifty days. And then ye shall bring a new meat offering unto the LORD. ¹⁷ And ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves made of two tenth deals of fine flour, leavened and baken, for first fruits unto the LORD.

¹² all the fat of the oil, of the wine and of the corn: their first fruits which they give unto the LORD that have I given unto thee. ¹³ The first fruits of all that is in their lands which they bring unto the LORD, shall be thine: and all that are clean in thine house, shall eat of it.

⁵ but ye shall enquire the place which the LORD your God shall have chosen out of all your tribes to put his name there and there to dwell. ⁶ And thither thou shalt come, and thither ye shall bring your burnt sacrifices and your offerings, your tithes and heave offerings of your hands, your vows and free will offerings and thy first born of your oxen and of your sheep. ⁷ And there ye shall eat before the LORD your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye lay your hands on, both ye and your households, because the LORD thy God hath blessed thee.

²¹ Ye shall eat of nothing that dieth alone: But thou mayest give it unto the stranger that is in thy city that he eat it, or mayest sell it unto an Alien. For thou art a holy people unto the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.

² take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which thou hast brought in out of the land that the LORD thy God giveth thee and put it in a maund and go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to make his name dwell there.

¹⁰ And now, lo: I have brought the first fruits of the land which the LORD hath given me.' And set it before the LORD thy God, and worship before the LORD thy God,

³⁵ and yearly to bring the firstlings of our land, and the firstlings of our fruits of all trees, year by year, unto the house of the LORD:

¹⁰ A righteous man regardeth the life of his cattle; but the ungodly have cruel hearts.

³ Yea all the customs and laws of the Gentiles are nothing but vanity. They hew down a tree in the wood with the hands of the workman, and fashion it with the axe;

²⁰ But now is Christ risen from the dead, and is become the first fruits of them that slept.

⁴ These are they, which were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These follow the lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from men being the first fruits unto God and to the lamb,

¹⁸ And that same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, "Unto thy seed will I give this land, from the river of Egypt, even unto the great river Euphrates:

¹⁶ And the angel which hath delivered me from all evil, bless these lads: that they may be called after my name, and after my father Abraham and Isaac, and that they may grow and multiply upon the earth."

² And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of a bush. And he perceived that the bush burned with fire, and consumed not. ³ Then Moses said, "I will go hence and see this great sight, how it cometh that the bush burneth not." ⁴ And when the LORD saw that he came for to see, he called unto him out of the bush and said, "Moses, Moses." And he answered, "Here am I." ⁵ And he said, "Come not hither, but put thy shoes off thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground." ⁶ And he said, "I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob." And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God.

¹⁹ And the angel of God which went before the host of Israel, removed and went behind them. And the clouden pillar that was before them removed and stood behind them

¹⁷ Bring them in and plant them in the mountains of thine inheritance, the place, LORD, which thou hast made for to dwell in, the sanctuary, LORD, which thy hands have prepared.

³⁴ But go, and bring the people unto the land which I said unto thee, 'Behold, mine angel shall go before thee.' Neverthelater in the day when I visit, I will visit their sin upon them."

² And I will send an angel before thee, and will cast out the Canaanites, the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites:

¹⁴ And he said, "My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest."

¹⁶ Then we cried unto the LORD and he heard our voices, and sent an angel and hath fetched us out of Egypt. And behold, we are in Kadesh, a city hard by the borders of thy country:

¹³ And when Joshua was come to Jericho, he lift up his eyes and looked: and behold there stood a man before him with his sword drawn in his hand. And Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, "Art thou on our side or on our adversaries?"

² And the LORD said unto Joshua, "Behold, I have given into thine hand, Jericho and her king and the men of war.

¹¹ For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

⁹ In their troubles he forsook them not, but the angel that went forth from his presence delivered them. Of very love and kindness that he had unto them, he redeemed them: He hath born them, and carried them up ever since the world began.

¹ Behold, I send my messenger which shall prepare the way before me. And suddenly shall the Lord whom ye seek, come unto his temple, and the messenger of the covenant whom ye desire. Behold, he cometh saith the LORD Sabaoth.

³⁴ Then shall the King say to them on his right hand, 'Come, ye blessed children of my father, inherit ye the kingdom prepared for you from the beginning of the world.

³ And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again: and receive you even unto myself, that where I am, there may ye be also.

⁹ Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them tempted and were destroyed of serpents. ¹⁰ Neither murmur ye as some of them murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.

¹⁴ Then said God unto Moses, "I Will Be What I Will Be." And he said, "This shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, 'I Will Be did send me to you.'"

³ and I appeared unto Abraham, Isaac and Jacob an Almighty God: but in my name Jehovah was I not known unto them.

⁵ And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there: and he called upon the name of the LORD. ⁶ And when the LORD walked before him, he cried, "LORD, LORD God full of compassion and mercy, which art not lightly angry but abundant in mercy and truth, ⁷ and keepest mercy in store for thousands, and forgivest wickedness, trespass and sin — for there is no man innocent before thee — and visitest the wickedness of the fathers upon the children and upon children's children, even unto the third and fourth generation."

¹¹ And the LORD said unto Moses, "How long shall this people rail upon me, and how long will it be, yer they believe me, for all my signs which I have showed among them?

³⁵ I, the LORD, have said that I will do it unto all this evil congregation that are gathered together against me: even in this wilderness ye shall be consumed, and here ye shall die."

¹⁹ And whosoever will not hearken unto the words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.

¹⁹ But Joshua said unto the people, "Ye cannot serve the LORD: for he is a holy God and cannot bear your transgression and sin.

¹² Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and so ye perish from the right way. For his wrath shall be kindled shortly: blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

¹⁹ And blessed be the name of his majesty forever; and all the lands be fulfilled with his glory. Amen, Amen.

⁴⁰ O how oft did they grieve him in the wilderness? How many a time did they provoke him in the desert?

⁵⁶ Yet, for all this they tempted and displeased the most high God, and kept not his covenant:

¹⁸ And they shall know that thou, whose name is Jehovah, art only the most highest over all the earth.

¹⁴ Neverthelater, yet the Lord, he will give you a sign. Behold: a virgin shall be with child, and shall bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

⁶ For unto us a child is born, and unto us a son is given. Upon his shoulders shall the kingdom lie, and he shall be called with his own name, "Wonderful, the giver of counsel, the mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of peace."

⁸ Even I am the LORD, and this is my name: and my glory will I give to none other, neither mine honour to graven images.

⁶ that it might be known from the rising of the sun to the going down of the same, that all is nothing without me. For I am the LORD, and there is else none.

¹⁵ For thus sayeth the high and excellent, even he that dwelleth in everlastingness, whose name is the holy one: I dwell high above and in the sanctuary, and with him also, that is of a contrite and humble spirit: that I may heal a troubled mind, and a contrite heart.

⁷ "Should I then, for all this, have mercy upon thee? Thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods. And albeit they were bound to me in marriage, yet they fell to adultery, and hunted harlots' houses.

⁶ In his time shall Judah be saved and Israel shall dwell without fear. And this is the name that they shall call him: even, 'The LORD our righteous maker.'

²³ "Behold, a maiden shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which is by interpretation, God with us."

⁵ While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud shadowed them. And behold, there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, "This is my dear son, in whom I delight; hear him."

²³ because that all men should honour the son, even as they honour the father. He that honoureth not the son, the same honoureth not the father which hath sent him.

³⁰ And I and my father are one."

³⁸ But if I do: though ye believe not me, yet believe the works, that ye may know and believe that the father is in me, and I in him."

⁹ Jesus said unto him, "Have I been so long time with you: and yet hast thou not known me? Philip, he that hath seen me, hath seen the father. And how sayest thou then, Show us the father? ¹⁰ Believest thou not that I am in the father, and the father in me? The words that I speak unto you, I speak not of myself: but the father that dwelleth in me is he that doeth the works.

³⁰ And grieve not the holy spirit of God, by whom ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

⁹ For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily,

¹⁰ Wherefore I was grieved with that generation and said, 'They ever err in their hearts: they verily have not known my ways,' ¹¹ so that I sware in my wrath, that they should not enter into my rest."

¹⁶ For some, when they heard, rebelled: howbeit, not all that came out of Egypt under Moses.

²⁶ For if we sin willingly after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins: ²⁷ but a fearful looking for judgment, and violent fire, which shall devour the adversaries. ²⁸ He that despiseth Moses' law, dieth without mercy under two or three witnesses. ²⁹ Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be counted worthy, which treadeth underfoot the son of God: and counteth the blood of the testament as an unholy thing, wherewith he was sanctified, and doth dishonour to the spirit of grace.

²⁵ See that ye despise not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not which refused him that spake on earth; Much more shall we not escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:

¹⁶ If any man see his brother sin a sin that is not to death, let him ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death, for which say I not that a man should pray.

⁸ "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending," saith the Lord almighty, which is and which was and which is to come.

⁸ "And unto the angel of the congregation of Smyrna write, 'These things saith he that is first, and the last, which was dead and is alive:

²³ And I will kill her children with death. And all the congregations shall know that I am he which searches the reins and hearts. And I will give unto everyone of you according to your works.

⁷ "And write unto the tidings-bringer of the congregation of Philadelphia, 'This saith he that is holy and true, which hath the key of David; which openeth and no man shutteth, and shutteth and no man openeth.

³ And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse them that curse thee. And in thee shall be blessed all the generations of the earth."

⁹ He couched himself and lay down as a lion and as a lioness; who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee."

⁷ And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies and on them that hate thee and persecute thee.

²⁰ Their children shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall continue in my sight. And all those that vex them, will I visit.

⁸ For thus sayeth the LORD of Hosts: With a glorious power hath he sent me out to the Heathen, which spoiled you: for whoso toucheth you, shall touch the apple of his own eye.

⁴ And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?" ⁵ And he said, "What art thou, Lord?" And the Lord said, "I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it shall be hard for thee to kick against the prick."

¹⁹ the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites, ²⁰ the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Giants, ²¹ the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites and the Jebusites."

² And Shechem, the son of Hamor the Hivite, lord of the country, saw her, and took her, and lay with her, and forced her:

¹⁷ And I have said it, that I will bring you out of the tribulation of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites: even a land that floweth with milk and honey.'

²⁰ "Behold, I send mine angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.

² And Aaron said unto them, "Pluck off the golden earrings which are in the ears of your wives, your sons and of your daughters: and bring them unto me."

⁸ And I brought you into the land of the Amorites which dwelt on the other side Jordan. And they fought with you: and I gave them into your hands. And ye conquered their country. And I destroyed them in your sight. ⁹ Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab arose and warred against Israel, and sent and called Balaam the son of Beor for to curse you. ¹⁰ But I would not agree to hearken unto Balaam, and therefore he blessed you: And so I delivered you out of his hand. ¹¹ And when ye went over Jordan, and came unto Jericho, the citizens of Jericho fought against you: the Amorites, Perezites, Cananites, Hittites, Girgashites, Hivites, Jebusites which I delivered into your hands.

¹³ Therefore cometh my folk also in captivity, because they have no understanding. Their glory is famished with hunger, and their pride is marred for thirst.

⁵ See that thou neither bow thyself unto them neither serve them: for I, the LORD thy God, am a jealous God, and visit the sin of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me:

²⁰ And the took the calf which they had made and burned it with fire, and stamped it unto powder and strowed it in the water, and made the children of Israel drink.

¹³ But overthrow their altars and break their pillars, and cut down their groves, ¹⁴ for thou shalt worship no strange god. For the LORD is called jealous, because he is a jealous God:

³ Wherefore after the doings of the land of Egypt wherein ye dwelt, see that ye do not; neither after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I will bring you, neither walk ye in their ordinances;

²⁶ Keep ye therefore mine ordinances and judgments, and see that ye commit none of these abominations: neither any of you nor any stranger that sojourneth among you ²⁷ — for all these abominations have the men of the land done which were there before you, and the land is defiled - ²⁸ lest that the land spew you out when ye have defiled it, as it spewed out the nations that were there before you. ²⁹ For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, the same souls that commit them shall perish from among their people. ³⁰ Therefore see that ye keep mine ordinances, that ye commit none of these abominable customs which were committed before you: that ye defile not yourselves therewith, for I am the LORD your God.'"

⁵² see that ye drive out all the inhabiters of the land before you, and destroy their imaginations and all their images of metal, and pluck down all their altars built on hills:

⁵ But thus ye shall deal with them: overthrow their altars, break down their pillars, cut down their groves and burn their images with fire.

²⁵ The images of their gods thou shalt burn with fire, and see that thou covet not the silver or gold that is on them nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therewith. For it is an abomination unto the LORD thy God. ²⁶ Bring not therefore the Abomination to thine house, lest thou be a damned thing as it is: but utterly defy it and abhor it, for it is a thing that must be destroyed.

³⁰ Beware that thou be not taken in a snare after them, after that they be destroyed before thee, and that thou ask not after their gods saying, 'How did these nations serve their gods, that I may do so likewise?' ³¹ Nay, thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for all abominations which the LORD hated did they unto their gods. For they burnt both their sons and their daughters with fire unto their gods.

² And he did wickedly in the sight of the LORD, like unto the abominations of the heathen which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.

⁹ But Manasseh made Judah and the inhabiters of Jerusalem to err and to do worse than the heathen which the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel.

³ Insomuch that the eighth year of his reign, when he was yet a lad, he began to seek after the God of David his father. And in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem of hill altars, groves, carved Images, and Images of metal: ⁴ so that they brake down the altars of Baals even in his presence, and the Idols that were upon them he caused to be destroyed. And the groves, carved Images, and Images of metal he brake and made dust of them, and strawed it upon the graves of them that had offered to them. ⁵ And he burnt the bones of the priests upon the altars, and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem. ⁶ And even so did he in the cities of Manasseh, Ephraim, Simeon and of Naphtali thereto. ⁷ And in the wildernesses of them round about he plucked asunder the altars and the groves and did beat them and stamp them to powder, and beat down the idols throughout all the land of Israel: and then returned to Jerusalem again.

³ I will take no wicked thing in hand. I hate the sin of unfaithfulness; it shall not cleave unto me.

³⁵ but were mingled among the Heathen, and learned their works - ³⁶ insomuch that they worshipped their idols, which turned to their own decay. ³⁷ Yea, they offered their sons and their daughters unto devils, ³⁸ and shed the innocent blood of their sons and of their daughters; whom they offered unto the idols of Canaan, so that the land was defiled with blood.

⁴⁷ Yet hast thou not walked after their ways, nor done after their abominations: but in all thy ways thou hast been more corrupt than they.

²⁶ and said, "If ye will hearken unto the voice of the LORD your God, and will do that which is right in his sight and will give an ear unto his commandments, and keep all his ordinances: then will I put none of these diseases upon thee which I brought upon the Egyptians, for I am the LORD thy surgeon."

¹³ But fear the LORD thy God and serve him, and swear by his name,

¹³ and will love thee, bless thee and multiply thee: he will bless the fruit of thy womb and the fruit of thy field, thy corn, thy wine and thy oil, the fruit of thine oxen and the flocks of thy sheep in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.

¹⁵ Moreover, the LORD will turn from thee all manner infirmities, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt — which thou knowest — upon thee, but will send them upon them that hate thee.

¹² And now, Israel, what is it that the LORD thy God requireth of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God and to walk in all his ways and to love him and to serve the LORD thy God with all thine heart and with all thy soul,

²⁰ Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God and serve him and cleave unto him and swear by his name,

¹³ If thou shalt hearken therefore unto my commandments which I command you this day, that ye love the LORD your God and serve him with all your hearts and with all your souls; ¹⁴ then he will give rain unto your land in due season, both the first rain and the latter, and thou shalt gather in thy corn, thy wine and thine oil.

⁴ For ye must walk after the LORD your God and fear him and keep his commandments and hearken unto his voice and serve him and cleave unto him.

¹ If thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, the LORD will set thee on high above all nations of the earth. ² And all these blessings shall come on thee and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God. ³ Blessed shalt thou be in the town and blessed in the fields; ⁴ blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, the fruit of thy ground and the fruit of thy cattle, the fruit of thine oxen, and thy flocks of sheep; ⁵ blessed shall thine almery be and thy store. ⁶ Blessed shalt thou be, both when thou goest out, and blessed when thou comest in. ⁷ The LORD shall smite thine enemies that rise against thee before thy face. They shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways. ⁸ The LORD shall command the blessing to be with thee in thy store houses and in all that thou settest thine hand to, and will bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. ⁹ "The LORD shall make thee a holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God and walk in his ways. ¹⁰ And all nations of the earth shall see that thou art called after the name of the LORD, and they shall be afeared of thee. ¹¹ And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, in the fruit of thy cattle and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee. ¹² "The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, even the heaven, to give rain unto thy land in due season and to bless all the labours of thine hand. And thou shalt lend unto many nations, but shalt not need to borrow thyself. ¹³ And the LORD shall set thee before and not behind, and thou shalt be above only and not beneath: if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God which I command thee this day to keep and to do them. ¹⁴ And see that thou bow not from any of these words which I command thee this day, either to the righthand or to the left, that thou wouldest go after strange gods to serve them.

¹⁴ And now, fear the LORD and serve him in pureness and truth: And put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the water, and in Egypt, and serve the LORD. ¹⁵ But if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, then choose you this day, whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served, that were on the other side of the water, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land, ye dwelt. As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."

²¹ And the people answered Joshua, "Nay, but we will serve the LORD."

²⁴ And the people answered Joshua, "The LORD our God we will serve and his voice we will obey."

³ And Samuel spake unto all Israel, saying, "If ye be come again unto the LORD with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods from among you, and Ashtaroth, and prepare your hearts unto the LORD and serve him alone; and so shall he rid you out of the hands of the Philistines."

²⁰ Then said Samuel unto the people, "Fear not. And though ye have done all this wickedness, yet depart not from the LORD in any case. But serve him with all your hearts.

²⁴ Only fear you the LORD and serve him truly with all your hearts: for he hath done great things for you.

³ Who forgiveth all thy sin, and healeth all thine infirmities?

¹⁶ He it is, that shall dwell on high; whose safeguard shall be in the true rock, to him shall be given the right true meat and drink.

²⁴ There lieth no man that sayeth, "I am sick," but all evil is taken away from the people, that dwell there.

² and laid against the Sun, the Moon and all the heavenly host: whom they loved, whom they served, whom they ran after, whom they sought and worshipped. They shall neither be gathered together nor buried, but shall lie upon the earth, to their shame and despising.

¹⁰ Bring every tithe into my barn, that there may be meat in mine house: and prove me withal, sayeth the LORD of Hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven unto you, and pour you out a blessing with plenteousness.

¹⁰ Then said Jesus unto him, "Depart, Satan: For it is written, 'Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God and him only shalt thou serve.'"

⁸ and then fell sick and died, in a lusty age — when he had lived enough — and was put unto his people.

²⁹ and then fell he sick and died, and was put unto his people being old and full of days. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.

¹⁴ Thou shalt be blessed above all nations; there shall be neither man nor woman unfruitful among you, nor anything unfruitful among your cattle.

⁴ blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, the fruit of thy ground and the fruit of thy cattle, the fruit of thine oxen, and thy flocks of sheep;

¹ And when David was old and stricken in years, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.

²⁶ Thou shalt come to thy grave in a fair age, like as the corn sheaves are brought in to the barn in due season.

¹⁰ Their bullock gendereth, and that not out of time: their cow calveth, and is not unfruitful.

¹⁷ And so he died, being old and of a perfect age.

²³ But as for them, thou, O God, shalt bring them into the pit of destruction. The bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days. Nevertheless, my trust shall be in thee, O LORD.

¹⁰ The days of our age are threescore years and ten: and though men be so strong that they come to fourscore years, yet is their strength then but labour and sorrow; so soon passeth it away, and we are gone.

³⁸ He blesseth them, so that they multiply exceedingly, and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

¹³ that our garners may be full and plenteous with all manner of store; that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets;

²⁰ There shall never be child nor old man, that have not their full days. But when the child cometh to a hundred years old, it shall die. And if he that is a hundred years of age do wrong, he shall be cursed.

¹⁰ Bring every tithe into my barn, that there may be meat in mine house: and prove me withal, sayeth the LORD of Hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven unto you, and pour you out a blessing with plenteousness. ¹¹ Yea, I shall reprove the consumer for your sakes, so that he shall not eat up the fruit of your ground, neither shall the vineyard be barren in the field, sayeth the LORD of Hosts.

⁵ And they departed. And the fear of God fell upon the cities that were round about them, that they durst not follow after the sons of Jacob.

¹⁴ The nations heard, and were afraid. Pangs came upon the Philistines. ¹⁵ Then the dukes of the Edomites were amazed, and trembling came upon the mightiest of the Moabites, and all the inhabiters of Canaan waxed faint-hearted. ¹⁶ Let fear and dread fall upon them through the greatness of thine arm, and let them be as still as a stone, while thy people pass through, O LORD; while the people pass through, which thou hast gotten.

²⁵ This day I will begin to send the fear and dread of thee upon all nations that are under all ports of heaven: so that when they hear speak of thee, they shall tremble and quake for fear of thee.'

²³ And the LORD thy God shall deliver them unto thee and stir up a mighty tempest among them, until they be brought to nought.

²³ then will the LORD cast out all these nations; and ye shall conquer them which are both greater and mightier than yourselves.

²⁵ There shall no man be able to stand before you: the LORD your God shall cast the fear and dread of you upon all lands whither ye shall come, as he hath said unto you,

⁹ and said unto the men, "I know that the LORD hath given you the land, both because that the fear of you is fallen upon us, and because that the inhabiters of the land faint at your coming. ¹⁰ For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the reed sea before you, when you came out of Egypt, and what you did unto the two kings of the Amorites on the other side Jordan; Sihon, and Og, which ye utterly destroyed. ¹¹ And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did faint. And there remained no more courage in any man for fear of your coming. For the LORD your God; he is the God in heaven above, and on the earth beneath.

¹⁵ And there was a fear in the host that was in the field, and among all the people: insomuch that they that kept the hold, and they that were gone to rob, were afraid also: and the earth trembled and there was a fear sent of God.

⁶ For the Lord had made the host of the Syrians hear a noise of chariots and a noise of horses, and the noise of a great Host. Insomuch that they said one to another, "See, the king of Israel hath hired against us, the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Egypt, to come upon us."

¹⁴ And they smote all the cities round about Gerar. For the fear of the LORD came upon them. And they robbed all the cities, for there was exceeding much to be robbed in them.

⁴⁰ Thou hast made mine enemies also to turn their backs upon me, and I shall destroy them that hate me. {TYNDALE: And thou madest mine enemies to turn their backs to me, and them that hated me, and I destroyed them.}

²⁰ Thereto, the LORD thy God will send hornets among them until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.

¹¹ And when ye went over Jordan, and came unto Jericho, the citizens of Jericho fought against you: the Amorites, Perezites, Cananites, Hittites, Girgashites, Hivites, Jebusites which I delivered into your hands. ¹² And I sent hornets before you and ye cast out before you: even the two kings of the Amorites: but not with your own sword or with your own bow.

²² The LORD thy God will put out these nations before thee a little and a little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.

⁶³ But the Jebusites that were the inhabiters of Jerusalem, the children of Judah could not cast out. Wherefore the Jebusites dwell among the children of Judah unto this day.

¹⁰ Notwithstanding, they drave not out the Cananites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Cananites dwelt among the Ephraimites unto this day, and pay tribute.

¹² yet the children of Manasseh could not overcome those cities, but the Cananites began to dwell in the same land. ¹³ Nevertheless, as soon as the children of Israel were waxed strong, they put the Cananites to tribute, but expelled them not.

¹ These are the nations which the LORD left to tempt Israel, even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan. ² Only, for the learning of the generation of the children of Israel, which before knew nothing of war, ³ he left the five lords of the Philistines, and all the Cananites, the Sidonians, the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon: even from mount Baalhermon unto Hamath. ⁴ Those remained to prove Israel by, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of the LORD, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.

³⁴ And the LORD said unto Moses, "Fear him not, for I have delivered him into thy hands with all his people and his land. And thou shalt do with him as thou didst with Sihon, the king of the Amorites which dwelt at Heshbon."

³ And your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom, so that your south quarter shall be from the side of the salt sea eastward, ⁴ and shall fetch a compass from the south up to Akrabbim, and reach to Zin. And it shall go out on the south side of Kadesh Barnea, and go out also at Hazaraddar, and go along to Azmon. ⁵ And shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and shall go out at the sea. ⁶ And your west quarter shall be the great sea, which coast shall be your west coast. ⁷ And this shall be your north quarter: ye shall compass from the great sea unto mount Hor. ⁸ And from mount Hor, ye shall compass and go unto Hamath, and the end of the coast shall be at Zeded, ⁹ and the coast shall reach out to Ziphron and go out at Hazarenan. And this shall be your north quarter. ¹⁰ And ye shall compass your east quarter from Hazarenan to Shepham. ¹¹ And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain. And then descend and go out at the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward. ¹² And then go down along by Jordan, and leave at the salt sea. And this shall be your land with all the coasts thereof round about.'" ¹³ And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, "This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, and which the LORD commanded to give unto nine tribes and a half: ¹⁴ for the tribe of the children of Reuben have received, in the households of their fathers; and the tribe of the children of Gad in their fathers' households; and the half tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance - ¹⁵ that is, to wit, two tribes and a half have received their inheritance on the other side of Jordan by Jericho eastward, toward the sun-rising."

² And the LORD said unto me, "Fear him not, for I have delivered him and all his people and his land into thy hand and thou shalt deal with him as thou dealtest with Sihon king of the Amorites which dwelt at Heshbon.'

²⁴ All the places whereon the soles of your feet shall tread, shall be yours: even from the wilderness and from Lebanon and from the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coasts be.

⁴ from the wilderness and this Lebanon unto the great river Euphrates; and all the land of the Hittites, even unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coasts.

⁷ Then shall ye rise up from lying await and destroy the city: For the LORD your God will deliver it into your hands.

¹⁸ Then the LORD said unto Joshua, "Stretch out the spear that is in thine hand toward Ai, for I have given thee it." And Joshua stretched out the spear that was in his hand, toward the city.

⁸ and the LORD said unto Joshua, fear them not, for I have delivered them unto thine hand, there shall not a man of them stand before thee.

¹⁹ And stand ye not still, but follow after your enemies and smite the hindmost of them. And suffer them not to enter into their cities, for the LORD your God hath delivered them into your hands.

⁴⁴ And the LORD gave the rest round about according to all that he sware unto their fathers. So that there stood not a man of all their enemies before them. But the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hands.

⁸ And I brought you into the land of the Amorites which dwelt on the other side Jordan. And they fought with you: and I gave them into your hands. And ye conquered their country. And I destroyed them in your sight.

¹² And I sent hornets before you and ye cast out before you: even the two kings of the Amorites: but not with your own sword or with your own bow.

¹⁸ And the LORD did cast out before us all the nations with the Amorites which dwelt in the land, wherefore we will serve the LORD — for he is our God."

⁴ And Judah went up, and the LORD delivered the Cananites and Perezites into their hands. And they slew of them in Bezek ten thousand men.

¹² Take heed to thyself, that thou make no covenant with the inhabiters of the land whither thou goest lest it be cause of ruin among you.

¹⁵ lest, if thou make any covenant with the inhabiters of the land, when they go a whoring after their gods and do sacrifice unto their gods, they call thee and thou eat of their sacrifice;

¹ And Israel dwelt in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab, ² which called the people unto the sacrifice of their gods. And the people ate, and worshipped their gods,

² and when the LORD thy God hath set them before thee that thou shouldest smite them: see that thou utterly destroy them and make no covenant with them nor have compassion on them.

¹⁶ Thou shalt bring to nought all nations which the LORD thy God delivereth thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them neither shalt thou serve their gods, for that shall be thy decay.

¹⁴ And the men took of their victuals, and counseled not with the mouth of the LORD. ¹⁵ And Joshua made peace with them, and made a covenant with them, to save their lives: and the lords of the congregation sware unto them. ¹⁶ But three days after they had made peace with them, they heard that they were neighbours unto them, and that they dwelt among them. ¹⁷ For the children of Israel took their journey and came unto their cities the third day: and their cities were Gibeon, Chephirah, Beeroth and Kiriathjearim. ¹⁸ And the children of Israel slew them not, because the lords of the congregation had sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel. And therefore all the multitude murmured against the lords. ¹⁹ But all the lords said unto all the congregation, "We have sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel, and therefore we may not hurt them. ²⁰ But this we will do to them and let them live: and so shall no wrath be upon us because of the oath which we sware unto them." ²¹ And the lords said unto them, "Let them live, that they may be hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation," as the lords said unto them. ²² Then Joshua sent for them, and talked with them, and said, "Wherefore have ye beguiled us and yet ye dwell among us? ²³ And now therefore cursed be you, and there shall not cease to be of you, bondmen and hewers of wood and drawers of water unto the house of my God."

¹ Then there fell a hunger in the days of David: three years, year by year. And David enquired of the LORD. And the LORD answered, "It is for Saul's sake and the house of blood, because he slew the Gibeonites." ² And the king called the Gibeonites and spake unto them. Now these Gibeonites are not of the children of Israel, but a remnant of the Amorites — and the children of Israel sware unto them. And yet Saul sought to slay them, for a zeal that he had to the children of Israel and of Judah.

¹⁵ What concord hath Christ with Belial? Either, what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

² and when the LORD thy God hath set them before thee that thou shouldest smite them: see that thou utterly destroy them and make no covenant with them nor have compassion on them. ³ Also thou shalt make no marriages with them, neither give thy daughter unto his son nor take his daughter unto thy son.

³⁰ Beware that thou be not taken in a snare after them, after that they be destroyed before thee, and that thou ask not after their gods saying, 'How did these nations serve their gods, that I may do so likewise?'

¹³ be sure that the LORD your God will not cast out all these nations before you. But they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges for your sides, and pricks in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.

³ Wherefore I have likewise determined that I will not cast them out before you: that they may be a fall unto you, and their gods shall be snares unto you."

²¹ And he said, "I will give him her that she may be a snare to him, to bring the hand of the Philistines upon him." And Saul said to David, "Thou shalt this day be my son-in-law again."

¹⁶ And he will give Israel up, because of the sin of Jeroboam wherewith he did sin and made Israel sin thereto."
