Bible verses about "almonds" | Thomson

³⁷ And Jacob took him rods of the styrax and almond and plane-tree and peeled off the white bark, and twisting it round the green, the white which he peeled off appeared speckled. ³⁸ And he placed the rods which he had peeled, in the watering troughs, in order that, when the flocks came to drink, they might engender at the rods, while they were drinking, with the rods in view. ³⁹ So the flocks engendered at the rods and brought forth cattle streaked and spotted and ash coloured. ⁴⁰ And when Jacob had separated the lambs and placed before the ewes a spotted ram and all that had spots among the lambs, then he kept the flocks which were for himself apart by themselves and did not mix them with the flocks of Laban. ⁴¹ And at the season when the sheep were engendering and conceiving, Jacob put the rods in the troughs before some, that they might engender before the rods; ⁴² but before others that had lambed he did not place them. Thus the indifferent became Laban's but the choicest were Jacob's. ⁴³ And the man became very rich and had much cattle and herds and men servants and maid servants and camels and asses.

³¹ Thou shalt make also a candlestick of pure gold. Thou shalt make it a turned work. Its shaft and its branches and the cups and the knobs and the lilly ornaments shall be of one piece. ³² And from its sides there shall issue six branches; three branches of the candlestick from one side thereof, and three branches of the candlestick from the other side, ³³ with three cups beaten out in form of almonds, and a knob and an ornament like a lilly on each branch; and so on the six branches issuing from the candlestick: ³⁴ and on the shaft there shall be four cups beaten out in form of almonds, and for each branch, knobs and ornaments like lillies, of the same piece; ³⁵ the knob under the first pair of branches issuing from it; and a knob under the second pair of branches issuing from it, and so under the third pair of branches issuing from the shaft; and on the shaft four cups beaten out in form of almonds. ³⁶ Let the knobs and the branches be of one piece. The whole must be turned out of one piece of pure gold. ³⁷ And thou shalt make the seven lamps for it, and place the lamps so that they may give light in one row. ³⁸ And its snuffers and its snuff dishes thou shalt make of pure gold. ³⁹ All these utensils shall be a talent of pure gold. ⁴⁰ See that thou make them according to the pattern shewn thee on this mount.

⁸ And on the next day when Moses went in, with Aaron, into the tabernacle of the testimony, behold Aaron's staff, for the house of Levi, had bloomed, and brought forth a bud, and had shot forth blossoms, and produced almonds.

¹ Because youth and thoughtlessness is vanity, therefore remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth; before the evil days come and the years draw nigh in which thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them. ² So long as the sun and the light and the moon and the stars are not involved in darkness, the clouds will return after rain. ³ When once the guards of the house are shaken, and the men of valour put to flight, and the grinding maids are idle, because reduced to a few, then shall the maids who look out at the windows be darkened, ⁴ and the doors of the market place will be shut at the feebleness o the voice of the grinding maid, which will be raised to the plaintive tone of the young ostrich; and all the daughters of the song will be brought low; ⁵ and they will look up to the height and there are terrors in the way. Though the almond tree shall have bloomed and the locust hath been fattened and the caper bush is shed, because the man is gone to his long home, therefore the mourners have made a circuit in the market place. ⁶ Until the silver cord can be wound up no more, and the golden bowl be broken, and the bucket broken at the well, and the wheel on the well shall run down with it, ⁷ and dust return to dust as it was, and the spirit return to God who gave it; ⁸ vanity of vanities, said the preacher; all things are vanity. ⁹ And moreover, because the preacher was wise, because he taught mankind wisdom; that the ear might find what is comely from parables, ¹⁰ the preacher made diligent search to find pleasing words and a writing of rectitude; words of truth. ¹¹ The words of the wise are like goads and nails ready made, which have been laid up in repositories from one shepherd to another. ¹² What remaineth of them, my son, keep thou.
