PUBLISHERS Providence, R.I., U.S.A. 1903 O Q ^ r. r^ Copyright, 1902, by Wm. Preston Smith. Smith's Scrap Book of the Bible contains quotations from the Bible arranged in alphabetical order, the same as a dictionary or concordance (p. 5 to 326), and a condensed Bible history of the Hebrew, Israelite, or Jew, Bible selection, etc. (p. 327-463), captivity and return of the Jews, first and second coming of Clirist, and end of the world; life of Christ, from the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John; and the important events in the life of Peter and Paul; and the wonderful revelation of St. John the Divine (p. 464 to 536); also a chronological table, and table of time, money, weights, and measures, and a full and complete alphabetical index, the" Me '" of Jesus, and believers saved (p. 537-551). Where no page is given, the same as Na. 3 following verse 10, Jon. 3, p. 39, and Gal. 4. 22-31 above, Ge. 16. l, p. 335, it is because those verses are not in this book, for the size and price of tliis book will not admit of it. Yet the verses and chapters of the Bible are given for those who may desire to go more fully into detailed Bible history. The arrangement of the material in this book is such as will give the honest, unprejudiced readers a clearer and more con-ect f- knowledge of the Bible than they can possibly get in any other way. 8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth ; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein : for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.— Jos. 1. This book, with the exception of the headings, tables, and index, is composed entirely of whatever is claimed as inspired Scripture (2 Ti. 3. 16, p. 274). So read and understand for yourself, for it is not to be supposed that God would inspire men to write what his people could not understand. 2 And the Lord answered me, and said. Write the vision, and y make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. Hab. 2. a 15 Whoso readeth, let him understand. Mat. 24.

Pro. 15—1 A soft answer turnetli away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. Pro. 16—32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty ; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. Mar. 3. 5, p. 126. Ps. 37—8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. Ps. 8.5—5 Wilt thou be angi'y with as forever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations? Ps. 9(>— 7 For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled. Ec. 7—9 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry : for anger rest- eth in the bosom of fools. Is. 48—9 For my name's sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off. Is. 63—6 And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth, p. 474. Ep. 4—26 Be ye angry, and sin not : let not the sun go aov^^l upon your wrath : 27 Neithergive place to the devil. 31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice : 32 And be ye kind one to an- other, tenderhearted, forgiving line another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. Mat. 7—7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall tind; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh re- ceiveth; and he that seeketh lindeth ; and to him that kuocketh it shall be opened. Mat. 21—22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. Jno. 14 — 13 And whatsoever y© .shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glori- tied in the Son. 14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. Jno. 15—7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Ja. 4—3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. Job 5—G Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out or the ground; 7 Yet man is bom unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward, p. 383. Job 6—14 To him that is afflicted pity should be shewed from his friend. Ps- 119—67 Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word. 71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted ; that I might learn thy statutes. Ps. 129—2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth : yet they have not prevailed against me. Pro. 15—15 All the days of the afflicted are evil : but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast. Is. 48—10 I have refined thee, but not with silver ; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction. Ho. 5—15 J will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face : in their affliction they will seek me early. Na. 1—9 What do ye imagine against the Lord? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time. Zee. 1—15 And I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are at ease : for I was but a little displeased, and they helped for- ward the affliction. 2 Co. 4—17 For our light afflic- tion, which is but for a ;noment, worketh for us a far more exceed- ing and eternal weight of glory. 2 Ti. 4—5 Watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, p. 90. Ja. 5—13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. Ro. 12—10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love- in honour preferring one another. Col. 3—2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. Ps. 109—29 Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame , and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle. Is. 1—24 I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies. Mat. .5—25 Agree with thine ad- versary quickly, while thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge de- liver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. He. 13—3 Remember them that are in bonds, and them which suffer adversity. Ps. 10. 6, p. 124. Ps. 64- 3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words. See also 1 Sa. 20. 20-42 p. 359; Ps. 120. 4, p. 281. Pro. 18—13 He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him. AGE OF MAN. ETC. Ge. 6—3 And the Lokd said, My Spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh : yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years, p. 185. Ps. 90—9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told. 10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be four- score years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Is. 65—20 There shall be no more an mfant of days, nor an old man that liath not hlled his days: for the child shall die a hmidred years old ; but the sinner being a him- dred years old shall be accursed. Ps. 71 — 9 Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth. 18 Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not. John- 15 For then .shalt thou lift up thy face without spot ; yea , thou shalt be steadfast, and shalt not fear: 16 Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away : 17 And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning. Ps. 92—13 Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. 14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age ; they shall be fat and flourishing. Is. 46 — l And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I can-y you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will Carry, and will deliver you. Jno9— 21 But by what means he now seetli, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not : he is of age ; ask him : he shall speak for himself, p. 23. 2 Chr. 36—17 God brought upon them the kin^ of the Chaldees, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon yoiuig man or maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age. AOE OF THE PATRIARCHS. Ge. 5—1 This is the book of tlie generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the like- ness of God made lie him ; 2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam in the day when they were created. 3 And Adam lived a hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his im- age; and called his name Seth; 4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters: 5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thir- ty years: and he died. 6 And Seth lived a hundred and five years, and begat Enos: 7 And Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daugh- ters: 8 And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years: and he died. 9 And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan : 10 And Enos lived after he be- gat Cainan eight hundred and fif- teen years, and begat sons and daughters: 11 And all the dajrs of Enos were nine hundred and five years: and he died. 12 And Cainan lived seventy years, and begat Mahalaleel ; 13 And Cainan lived after he begat Mahalaleel eight hundred and forty years, and begat sons and daughters: 14 And all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years: and he died 15 And Mahalaleel lived sixty and five years, and begat Jared: 16 And Mahalaleel lived after he begat Jared eight hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters : 17 And all the days of Maha- laleel were eight hundred ninety and five years: and he died. 18 And Jared lived a hundred sixty and two years, and he begat Enoch: 19 And Jared lived after he be- gat Enoch eight hundred years, and begat cons and daughters : 20 And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years: and he died. 21 And Enoch lived sixty-five years, and begat Methuselah: 22 And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: 23 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years : 24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. 25 And Methuselah lived a hun- dred eighty and seven years, and begat Lameeli : 26 And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters: 27 And all the days of Methuse- lah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died. 28 And Lamech lived a hun- dred eighty and two years, and begat a son : 29 And he called his name Noah, saying. This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the Lord hath cursed. 30 And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters: 31 And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died. 32 And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ge.9.28,p.l88. ANGELS, Saints, Cherub, Cher- ubim, Seraph, Seraphim, Sons of God (see also Christians, p. 43). All the angels mentioned in the Bible were men, and none of them had wings; but the Cherubim and Seraphim, they had wings. See Ge. 3. 24, p. 185 ; Eze. 1. 1-25, p. 9 ; Eze. 10. 1-20, p. 10; Is. 6. 1-4, p. 107. There are no accounts given or any mention made in the Bible of female angels. There are only two accoujits given in the Bible of women with wings, and neither one of them were angels. See Zee. 5. 5-11, p. 454, and Re. 12. 1-17, p. 61, 62. The first angels, according to the Scripture (except the Cheru- bim, Ge. 3. 24, p. 185), were the three who ate and drank what Abraham set before them. See A 8 Ge. 18. 1-8, p. 491. And it is sup- posed that Jesus Christ was one of them, and that that was the time "Abraham rejoiced to see his day." Jno. 8. 42, 53-59. p. 496- See also Christ as an angel, and before the world was, pp. 490-496. The next were the two whom l-ot entertained at a feast ni his house. Ge. 19. 1-22 p. 40. Now this question will be asked,_ it those angels did eat and drink with Abraham and Lot on this earth, do they eat and. drink m heaven? Daniel, in a vision, saw millions of angels; and about seven hundred years- after bamt .Jolin saw about the same number, and also millions of horsemen. " And thus I saw the horses m the vision, and them that sat on them." Re. 9. 16, 17. p. 119,. Da. 7. 10 ; Re. 5. 11, p. 17. Of all this vast number of angels, except .the mere mention of them, the Bible tells us nothing about them,— who they were or where they came from. For other mention ot angels see the following and Ge. 28. 12, p. 264; Nu. 22. 27, p. 12; 2 tea. 24. 16 and 1 Chr. 21. 1.5, p. 363; 1 Ki. 19. 5, p. 373; Da. 3. 24. 25, P- 391; Mat. 4. 6 and Ps. 91. ll, p. 59 ; Mat. 1. 20, 24, p. 496; Mat. 2. 13, 19, and Lu. 1. 26-38, p. 497; Lu. 2. 9-15, p. 498 ; Mat. 13. 49. p. 116 ; 24. 31, p. 488 ; 25. 31 and 1 Th. 4. 16, p. 489 ; 28. 2 and Mar. 16. 5, p. 521 ; Jno. 5. 4, p. 453, and 20. 12, 13, p. .519 ; Lu. 24. 4, p. 522; Ac. 1. 10, p. 524; 12. 7-10, 23, p. 527 ; He. 12. 22. p. 326 ; Re. 8. 14-17, p. 531-.533, 130, 271; Re. 7. 1, 2, 11, p. 268 and 286; 9. l, 11, 14,15. p. 118, 119; 10. 1-10, pp. 17, 18; 11. 1. p. 285; 12. 7-9, p. 62; 14. 6, p. 232; 14. 15-19, p. 130; 19. 17, p. 535; 20. 1, p. 119; 21. 9, p. 36. Angels or ministers ot the seven churches, see Re. 2 and 3. [Re. 1—11 I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and. What thou seest. write m a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia ; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and mito ihya- tira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. p. 490.] An angel (supposed to be Christ) led the children of Israel during their forty year wandering in the wilderness. See Ex. 23. 20, p. 405. An angel smote 18.5,000 As- syrians in one night. 2 Ki. 19. 35, p. 435. De. 33—2 The Lord came from Sinai, and rose up from Sen unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran. and he came wuJ) ten thousands of saints. Jude 1—14 Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying. The Lord cometh with ten thousand of his saints. Ps. 68—17 The chariots ot God are twenty thousand, even thou- sands of angels: the. Lord is among them, as in Sinai. Job 4—18 Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly. , Job 38-7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted lor joy. p. Ps. 34—7 The angel of the Lord encampeth roimd about them that fear him, and delivereth them. ^, ., Ps. 78^19 He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by send- ing evil angels among them.

Mat. 26—53 Thinkest thou that I cannot pray to my Father, and he shall give me more than twelve legions of angels? p. 514. [Fallen angels. See also Re. 12. 7-9. p. 62; 9. 11, p. 119.] ■i Pe 2 — 1 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell. p. 118- . Jude 1—6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judg- ment of the great day. 2 Sa. 22—11 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he. was seen upon the wings of the wind. Ps. 18—10 And he rode upon. a cherub, and did fly : yea. he did fly upon the wings of the wind. See also Ex. 25. 18, Eze.4, 1-18, and 1 Ki. 6. 23-30, p. 369. Ezekiel's vision of four Cheru- bim, — the four wheels ("a wheel in the middle of a wheel") and of the glory of God. Eze. 1—1 Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among' the cap- tives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God. 2 In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity, 3 The word of the Lord came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the Lord was there upon him. 4 H And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire. 5 Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatiu'es. And this was their ap- pearance ; they had the likeness of a man. 6 And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings. 7 And their feet were straight feet ; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass. 8 And they had the hands of a man uiider their wings on their four sides ; and they four had their faces and their wings. 9 Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every ojie straight forward. 10 As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side : and they four had the face of an ox on the left side ; they foui' also had the face of an eagle. 11 Thus were their faces: and their- wings were stretched up- ward ; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies. 12 And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went: and they turned not when they went. 13 As for the likeness of the liv- ing creatui-es, their appearance was like burning coals of tire, and like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the liv- ing creatures; and the tire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning. 14 And the living creatui-es ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning. 15 If Now as I beheld the living creatm-es, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces. 16 The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their ap- pearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel. 17 When they went, they went upon their four sides: and they turned not when they went. 18 As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful ; and their i-ings were full of eyes romid about tliem four. 19 And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up. 20 Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither was their spirit tc go ; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living ci-eature was in the wheels. 21 When those went, these went ; and when those stood, these stood ; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up: for the spirit of the liv- ing creature was in the wheels. 22 And the likeness of the firma- ment upon the heads of the living creature was as the colour of the terrible crystal, stretched fortli over their heads above. 23 And mider the firmaueut were their wings straight, the one to- ward the other: every one had two, which covered on this side, and every one had two, which cov- ered on that side, their bodies. 24 And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of a host: when they stood, they let dowai their wings. 10 25 And there was a voice from the finiiameut that was over then- heads, when they stood, and had let down their wings. 26 And above the hmiament was the likeness of a tlu-one, as the appearance of a sapphire stone; and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the ap- pearance of a man above upon it. 27 And I saw as the colour- of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even up- ward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of tire, and it had brightness round about. 28 As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round abor t. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and 1 heard a voice of one that spake. Ezekiel's vision of the coals of fire to be scattered over the city of Jerusalem and his vision of the cherubim. Eze. 10—1 Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubim there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the ap- pearance of the likeness of a throne. 2 And he spake unto the man clothed with linen, and said. Go in between the wheels, even under the cherub, and fill thine hand with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight. 3 Now the cherubim stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in ; and the cloud filled the umer court. 4 Then the glory of the Lord went up from the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house t and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the Lord's glory. 5 And the sound of the cheru- bim's wings was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh. 7 And one cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cheru- bim unto the fire and took there- of, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linen ; who took it, and went out. 8 H And there appeared in the cherubim the form of a man's hand under their wings. 9 And when I lopked, behold the four wheels by the cherubim, one wheel by one cherub, and an- other wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was as the colour of a beryl stone. 10 And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel. 11 When they went, thev went upon their four sides ; they turned not as they went, but to the place whither the head looked they followed it. 12 And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes roimd about, even the wheels that they four had. 13 As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O wheel. 14 And every one had four faces : the first face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fom-th the face of an eagle. 16 And when the cherubim went, the wheels went by them: and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to momit up from the earth, the same wheels also turned not from beside them. 17 When they stood, these stood : and when they were lifted up, these lifted up themselves also: for the spirit of the living creature was in them. 18 Then the glory of the Lord departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood over the chembim. 19 And the cherubim lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight : when they went out, the wheels also were be- side them, and every one stood at the door of the east gate of the Lord's house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above. 20 This is the living creatui-e that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar and I knew that they were the cheru- bim. 11 Mat. 6—: Take heed that ye do not your ahns before meu, to be seen of them : otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. 2 Therefore when thou doest t^ine alms, do not s )f the earth • and from thy face shall I be hid ; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth ; and 13 it shall come to pass, that every one that liudeth me shall slay me. 15 And the Lord said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him. IG And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt m the laud of Nod, on the east of Eden. 17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch. 25 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me an- other seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew. 26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son ; aud he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the Lord. 1 Juo. 3—12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's right- eous. Le. 19—17 Thoix shalt not liate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer siu upon him. 18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the chil- dren of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the Lord. Le. 25, p. 244. De. 15—7 If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother: 8 But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wauteth. 9 Beware tliat there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, say- ing. The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand ; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought ; and he cry unto the Lord against thee, and it be sin unto thee. ely gi and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this tiling the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand vmto. p. 235 and 68. Job. 22— fi For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clotliing. p. 385. Ps. 5()— 20 Thou sittest and speak- est against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son. Pro. 17—17 A friend lovetli at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. Pro. 18—19 A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle. Pro. 27—10 Thine owti friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not ; neither go into thy brother's hou.se in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off. Is. 9—19 Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his brother. Je. 9—4 Take heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slan- ders. 5 And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not .speak the truth : they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit in- iquity. Zee. 7—9 Thus speaketh the Lord, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother : 10 And oppress not the widow, nor the fatlierless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in voiu' heart. Mai. 2—10 Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every nian against his brother? Mat. 10—21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death, p. 459. - 14 Mat. 5 — 22 Whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be iu danger of the judg- ment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be m danger of the council: but who- soever shall say, Thou fool, shall he in danger of hell lire. 23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there re- memberest that thy brother hath aught against thee : 24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. Mat. 18—15 If thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. IG But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one, or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. 17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church : but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as a heathen man and a publican. 21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I for- give him? till seven times? 22 Jesus saith mito him, I say not mito thee. Until seven times: but. Until seventy times seven. Lu. 17—3 If thy brother trespass against thee, i-ebuke him ; and if he repent, forgive him. 4 If he trespass agauist thee seven times iu a day. and seven times in a day turn to thee, say- ing, I repent; thou shalt forgive him. Ro. 14—10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thv brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Clirist. 2 Th. 3—6 We command you, bretlu-en, in the name of Jesus, that ye withdraw yom-selves from every brother that walketh dis- orderly, and not after the tradi- tion which he received of us. 1 Th. 4—6 That no man go be- yond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such. He. 3—12 Take heed, bretlu'en, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, iu departmg from the living God. He. 13—1 Let brotherly love con- tinue. Be not forgetful to enter- tain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels un- awares. •la. 1—9 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is ex- alted : 10 But the rich, in that he is made low : because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away, p. 199. Ja. 2—15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of food, 16 And one of you say unto them. Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanduag ve give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, bemg alone. See Ja. 4, p. 140. 1 Jno. 2—9 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. 10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. 1 Jno. 3—13 Marvel not, my breth- ren, if the world hate you. 14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. 15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer : and ye know that nommderer hath eternal life abiding in him. 16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid do^vn his life for us: and we ought to lav down our lives for the bretliren. " 17. But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? 1 Jno. 4—20 If a man sav, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 21 And this commandment have we from him. That he who loveth God love his brother also. Ho. 13—15 Though he be fruitful among his brethren, an east wuid shall come, the wind of the Lord shall come up from the wilder- ness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountam shall be dried up: he shall spoil the treas- ure of all pleasant vessels. 15 Ps. 133—1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell to^rether in unity! 2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his gai'ments. Mat. 5—17 If ye salute your brethren only, wliat do ye more than others? do not even the pub- liCiiiis so*^ 1 Co. .5—11 I have written unto vou not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extor- tioner ; with such a one no not to 1 Co. 6—5 1 speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? that shall be able to judge between his brethren? 6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the un- believers. 7 Now there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why not take wrong? Why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded? 8 Nay, ye do wTong, and defraud, and that your brethren. 1 Co. 14—26 How is it then, breth- ren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an mter- pretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. 2 Th. 3—13 Brethren, be not weary in well doing. 14 And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed. 15 Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother. 1 Th. 5—25 Brethren, pray for us. Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss. 2 Co. 13—11 Finally, bretlu-en, farewell. Be perfect, be of one mind, live in peace ; and the God of love and peace shall be with you. BLESS, BLESSING.

Lu. 6—20 Blessed be ye poor : for yours is the kingdom of God. 21 Blessed are ye that hunger now : for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now : for ye shall laugh. 16 22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their com- pany, and shall reproach you, and cast out yom- name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. 23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, hehold, your re- ward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets. Lu. 11—27 And a certain woman of the coniEjany lifted up her voice, and said unto him. Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. 28 But Jesus said, Yea, rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

Ex. 24—4 And Moses wi'ote all the words of the Lord, and rose up early ui the morning, and builded an altar imder the hill, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel. 5 And he sent yoimg men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto the Lord. 6 And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basins; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar. 7 And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audi- ence of the people : and they said. All that the Lord hath said will we do, and be obedient. 8 And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said. Behold the blood of the cov- enant, which the Lord hath made with you concerning all these words. Ex. 32—33 And the Lord said unto Moses, Whosoever hath siimed against me, him will I blot out of my book. De. 31—24 And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished, 25 That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord, say- ing, 26 Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee. 27 For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck : beholdj while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the Lord ; and how much more after my death? Jos. 1—8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth ; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein : for then thou shalt make thy way pi'osperous, and then thou shalt have good success, p. 168.

Re. 5—1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on t^ie back side, sealed with seven seals. See Re. 6 and 8, p. 530, 531. 2 And I saw a strong angel pro- claiming with a loud voice. Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? 3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither imder the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. 4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. 5 And" one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. 6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and .seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. 7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. 8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odoms, whicli are the prayers of saints. 9 And they sung a new song, saying. Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof : for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation ; 10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. 11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne, and tlie beasts, and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thou- .sand, and thousands of thou- sands , 12 Saymg with a loud voice. Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. Da. 7—9 1 beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white aS'Snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire. 10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thou- sand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was .set, and the books were opened. Re. 1. 13, p. 490. Re. 10—1 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud : and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as inllars of fire : 2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he .set his right foot upon the sea, aud his left foot on the earth. 18 3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. 4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was ahout to write : and I heard a voice from heaven saying. Seal up those thing's which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. 5 And the angel which I saw lifted up his hand to heaven, 6 And sware by him that livetli for ever and ever, who created heaven, and earth, and the thmgs that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer: 7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. 8 And the voice which J heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. 9 And I went luito the angel, and said unto him. Give nie the little book. And he said unto me. Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. 10 And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up ; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.

Is. 30—20 And though the Lurd give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yeb shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thme eyes shall see thy teachers. La. 5—9 We gat our bread with the peril of our lives, because of the sword of the wilderness. Eze. 4—16 Behold. I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care ; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment: 17 That they may want bread and water, and be astonied one with another, and consume away for their iniquity. Eze. 12—18 Son of man. eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and with carefulness. Eze. IC— 49 Pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters. Ho. 9^ They shall not offer wine offerings to the Lord. neither shall they be pleasing unto him : their sacrifices shall be unto them as the bread of mourn- ers; all that eat thereof shall be polluted : for their bread for their soul shall not come into the house of the Lord. Mat. 7 — 9 Or what man is there of you. whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? Mat. 4. 19, p. 197. Lu. 14—15 And when one of them that sat at meat with Jesus heard these things, he said xuito him. Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God. 2 Th. 3—12 Now we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread. 20 BODY, BELLY. See alao Mat. 10. 28. p. 118. 1 Co. 6—13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats : but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not lor fornica- tion, but for the Lord ; and the Lord for the body. , . , 14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power. . 15 Know ve not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of a harlot? God forbid. 16 What! know ye not that he which is joined to a harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. . . . , ^ ., 17 But he that is jomed rmto the Lord is one spirit. _ 18 Flee fornication. Every sm that a man doeth is without the body ; but he that committeth for- nication silineth against his own body. . , ^^1 ^ 19 What ! know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? , ■, ^ .Lx 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and m your spirit, which are God's. 1 Co. 9—27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection : lest that by any means, when 1 have preached to others, I niyselt should be a castaway. , , , . 1 Co. 12—12 For as the body is one, and hath manv members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body : so also is Christ. „ . .^ n 13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free ; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 14 For the body is not one mem- ber, but many. 15 If the foot shall say. Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body*^ 16 And if the ear shall say. Be- cause I am not the eye, I am not of the body ; is it therefore not of the body? , , , , 17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? It the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? 18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. 19 And if they were all one mem- ber, where were the body? 20 But now are they many mem- bers, yet but one body. 21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee : nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. 22 Nay, much more those mem- bers of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary : 23 And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our micomely parts have more abun- dant comeliness. 24 For om- comely parts have no need : but God hath tempered the body together, having givemnore abundant honour to that part which lacked : , , , , 25 That there should be no schism in the body ; but that the members should have the same care one for another 26 And whether one member suf- fer, all the members suffer with it ; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. . 27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. _ 28 And God hath set some m the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, alter that miracles, then gifts of heal- ings, helps, governments, diver- sities of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? are all proph- ets? are all teachers? are all work- ers of miracles? 30 Have all the gifts of healmg? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? ^i .^i, -u 4. 31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way. p. If©. 1 Co. 1.5 — 10 There are also celes- tial bodies, and bodies terrestrial : but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terres- trial is another. . 2 Co. 5—6 Knowmg that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord. Job 20—23 When he is about to fill his bellv. God shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and rain it upon him while he is eatmg. 21 Job 32—10 Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles. p. 387. Ro. 16—18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly ; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple. Phi. 3—19 Whose end is destruc- tion, whose God is their belly, and Miiose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things. Tit. 1— I20ne of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said. The Cretians are always liars, evil beasts, slow bellie.s. BEA8T, BEHEMOTH, BULLS, BEARS, BIRDS.

Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creep- ing thing, and beast of the earth after his kind, and it was so. 25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind : and God saw that it was good. Job 35—11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven? Job 40—15 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee ; he eat- etli grass as an ox. 16 Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is m the navel of his belly. 17 He moveth his tail like a cedar : the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. 18 His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron. 19 He is the chief of the ways of God : he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him. 20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play. 21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens. 22 The shady trees cover him with their shadow ; the willows of the brook compass him about. 23 Behold, he drinketh up a river: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth. Ps. 50—9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds : 10 For eveiw beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. 11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine. Job 21—10 Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf. Ps. 22—12 Many bulls have com- passed me : strong bulls of Bashan have be.set me roimd. 13 They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion. Je. .50—11 Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced, O ye de- stroyersof mine heritage, because ye are grown fat as the heifer at gra.ss, and bellow as bulls.

SS. 3—7 Behold his bed, which is Solomon's ; threescore valiant men are about it, of the valiant of Israel. 8 They all hold swords, being expert in war: every man hath his .sword upon his thigh because of fear in the night, p. 172. Am. 6^ That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the nock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall. 22 Is. 57—7 Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed : even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice. 8 Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up thy remem- brance: for thou hast discovered thyself to another than me, and art gone up: thou hast enlarged tliy bed, and made thee a covenant with them ; thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest it. p. 117.

Pro. 22—27 If thou hast nothing to pay, wliy should he take away thy bed from under thee?

Ex. 4—11 And the Lord said unto Moses, Who hath made man s mouth'^ or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind ? have not I the Lord? 2 Ki. 6—18 And Elisha prayed mito the Lord, and said. Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blmdness according to the word of Elisha. p. 433. Mat. 9—27 And when Jesus de- parted thence, two blind men fol- lowed him, crying, and saymg. Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. . , 28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them. Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said imto him, Yea, Lord. , -, , ^, . 29 Then touched he their eyes, saying. According to your faith be it mito you. 30 And their eyes were opened ; and Jesus straitly charged them, saymg. See that no man know it. 31 But they spread abroad his fame in all that country. B 23 Mar 8—22 And he coiiietli to Bethsaida ; and tliey bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him. 23 And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw aught. 24 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking. 25 After that he put his hands aijain upon his eyes, and made him look up ; and he was restored, and saw every man clearly. Mar. 10 — 46 And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimesu, the son of Timeus, sat by the higliway side begging. 47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me. 48 And many charged him that he should hold his peace : but he cried the more a great deal. Thou Son of David, have mercy on me. 49 And Jesus commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee. •W And he, casting away his gar- ment, rose, and came to Jesus. 51 And Jesus answered and said mito him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him. Lord, that I might receive mjr sight. 52 And Jesus said unto him. Go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way. Jno. 9—1 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. 2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, wlio did sin. this man, or his parents, that he was bom blind? 3 Jesus answered. Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents : but that tlie works of God should be made manifest in him. 6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anoint- ed the eyes of the blind man. 7 And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation. Sent.) He went and washed, and came seeing. 14 And it was the sabbath day when Je.sus made the clay, and opened his eyes. 39 And Je.sus said. For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind. 40 And some of the Pharisees wliich were with him heard these words, and said imto him. Are we blind aLso? 41 Jesus said unto them. If ye were blind, ye should have no sin : but now ye say. We see ; therefore your sin remaineth. Le. 19—14 Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling- blo©k before the blind, but shalt fear thy God : I am the Lord. De. 27—18 Cursed be he that maketh the blind to wander out of the way. Is. 6—9 And he said. Go, and tell this people. Hear ye indeed, but understand not ; and see ye in- deed, but perceive not. 10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed. Jno. 12—39 They could not be- lieve, because that Esaias said, 40 He hath blinded their eyes. and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. Mat. 13. 14. Is. 42—16 And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known : I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. 18 Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see. 19 Who is blind, but my ser- vant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? wlio is blind as he^ that is perfect, and blind as the Lord's servant? 20 Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not. Is. 43—8 Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears. Mat. 1.5—14 Let them alone : they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. 24 BLOOD, BLOOD not to be eaten, see also Ge. 9. 4-6. p. 187; Ps. 106. 37. 38. p. 59.

Mat. 27—24 \\lien Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, sav- ing, I am innocent of the blood of this ijust person: see ye to it. 25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

Pro. 20—14 It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer ; but when he IS gone his way, then he boasteth. , Eze. 7—12 The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the .seller mom-n : for wrath is upon all the multitude thereof. 25 Ja. 4—13 Go to now, ye tliat say, To day or to moiTow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain : 14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. 15 For that ye ought to say. If the Lord will, we shall live and do this, or that. Hag. 1—6 Ye have sown much, and bring in little ; ye eat, but ye have not enough ; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink ; ye clothe you, but there is none warm : and he that eameth wages, earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes. Lu. 12—33 Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treas- ure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. 34 For where yoiir treasure is, there will your heart be also. Jno. 12—6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein. Jno. 13—2!)

BIRTH, BORN. Fiistbom, Bom again. Job 3—2 And Job said, 3 Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said. There is a man child conceived. 16 Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been ; as infants which never saw light, p. 383. Job 1.5—14 What is man that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous? 1 Co. 1.5—8 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one bom out of due time. p. 524. Ex. 1.3—1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Sanctify unto me all the first- born, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Is- rael, both of man and of beast: it is mine. De. 21—15 If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have borne him children, both the beloved and the hated ; and if the fir.stborn son be hers that was hated : 16 Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit that which he hath, that he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before tlie son of the hated, which is indeed the first- born : 17 But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated for the firstborn, bv giving him a double portion of ail that he liath : for he is the be- ginnm^ of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his. Jno. 3—1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a rviler of the Jews : 2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him. Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except (jod be with him. 3 JesiTS answered and .said unto him. Verily, verily, I say unto thee. Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? 5 Jesus answered. Verily, verily, I say unto thee. Except a man be bora of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is bom of the flesh is flesh ; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee. Ye must be bom again. 8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth : so is every one that is boru of the Spirit. 26 BALANCES.

And Joab took Amasa by the beard with the right hand to kiss him. 10 But Amasa took no heed to the sword that was in Joab's hand : so he smote him therewith in the fifth rib, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and struck him not again ; and he died. p. 361.

Is. 54 — 1 Siiig, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the Lord.

Eze. 21— 31!l will blow against thee in the fire of my wrath, and deliver thee into the hand of brutish men. Eze. 22—21 Yea, I will rather you, and blow upon you in the lire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst thereof.

Mat. 3—1 In those day;5 came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judea. 2 And saying. Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaveu is at hand. 3 For this is he that wa*} spoken of by the prophet Esaia", saying. The voice of one crying in the wilderness. Prepare ye Ihe way of the Lord, make his paths straight. (Is. 40—3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness. Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.) 4 And the same John Iiad his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his louis; and his meat was locusts and wild honey. 5 Then went out to him Jerusa- lem, and all Judea, and all the region round about Jordan, 6 And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins. 7 But wlien he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadduceescome to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath 28 wanied you to tiee from the wrath to come? 8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance : 9 And think not to say within youi-selves. We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, tliat God is able of these stones to raise xip children unto Abraham. 10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: there- fore every tree which bringethnot forth good friiit is hewu down, and cast into the fire. 11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with lire : 12 "VMiose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will bum up the chafl: with luiquenchable fire. 13 Then cometh Jesus from Gali- lee to Jordan vuito John, to be baptized of him. 14 But John forbade him, say- ing, I have need to be baptized of thee, aud comest thou to me? 15 And Jesus said unto him. Suffer it to be so now : for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteous- ness. Then he suffered him. 16 And Jesus, when he was bap^ tized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him : 17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying. This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Lu. 3—21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being bap- tized, and praying, the heaven was opened, 22 And the Holy Ghost de- scended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said. Thou art my beloved Son ; in thee I am well pleased. 23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, bemg (as was supposed) the sou of Jo- seph. Mar. 16—16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved ; but he that believeth not shall be damned, p. 522. Eze. 36—25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean : fi-om all your filtliiness, and idols, will I cleanse you. He. 10—22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pui-e water. BELIEVE, BELIEVERS.

BISHOPS. Stewards of God. IMar. 9—23 Jesus said unto him. If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believ- eth. Jno. 6—47 Verily, verily, I say unto you. He that believeth on me hath everlastuig life. p. 507. Jno. 11—26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? p. 457. Jno. 20—29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because tbou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed, p. 519. 1 Ti. 3—1 This is a true saying. If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. 2 A bishop then must be blame- less, the husband of one wife, vig- ilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach ; 3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covet- ous; 4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in sub- jection with all gravity ; 5 (For if a man know not how to nile his own house, how shall he take care of the chiu'ch of (iod?) 6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the con- demnation of the devil. 7 jSIoreover he must have a good report of them which are with- out; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. Tit. 1—4 To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: (irace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and tlie Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour-. 29 5 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that tliou shduldest ordain elders in every city: 6 If any he blameless, the hus- band of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly. 7 For a bishop must be blame- less, as the steward of God ; not selfwilled. not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre ; 8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate ; 9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.

Build, masterbuilder, etc. Jno. 3—29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, re- t'oiceth greatly because of the (ridegroom's voice. Re. 22—17 And the Spirit and the bride say. Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely, p. 536. Is. 61—10 As a bridegroom deck- eth himself with ornaments, and as a bride adometh herself with her jewels. Is. 62—5 And as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee. Mat. 9 — 15 And Jesus said unto them. Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast. Mat. 25—1 Then stall the king- dom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them : 4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamp.s. 5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6 And at midnight there was a cry made. Behold, the bridegroom Cometh ; go ye out to meet him. 7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said unto the wise. Give us of youi- oil ; for our lamps are gone out. 9 But the wise answered, saying. Not so ; lest there be not enouglr ior us and you : but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went iu with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 11 Afterward came also the other virgius, saying. Lord, Lord, open to us. 12 But he answered and said. Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13 Watch therefore; for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. Pro. :J— 9 Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the first fruits of all thine increase. 10 So shall thy bams be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wme. Lu. 12—16 And Jesus spake a parable unto them, saying. The § round of a certain rich man rought forth plentifully: 17 And he thought within him- self, saying. What shall I do, be- cause I have no room where to bestow my fruits? 18 And he said. This will I do: 1 will pull down my bams, and build ereater; and there will I be- stow all my fmits and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul. Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thioe ease, eat, driuk, and be merry. 20 But God said luito him. Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? 21 So is he that layeth up treas- ure for himself, and is not rich toward God. 30 Ge. 11—3 Let us make brick, and bum them thoroughly. Aud they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar, p. 32. Ex. 5—6 And Pharaoh com- manded the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying, 7 Ye shall no more give the peo- ple straw to make brick, as here- tofore: let them go and gather . straw for themselves. 8 And the tale of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them ; ye shall not diminish aught thereof: for they be idle ; therefore they cry, saying. Let us go and sacrifice to our God. 15 Then the officers of the chil- dren of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying. Wherefore deal- est thou thus with thy servants? 16 There is no straw given unto thy servants, and they say to us, Make brick: and, behold, thy ser- vants are beaten ; but the fault is in thine own people. 17 But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle : therefore ye say. Let us go and do sacrifice to the Lord. 18 Go therefore now. and work ; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks. Is. 9—10 The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycamores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars. Is. 65—22 They shall not build, and another inhabit: they shall not plant, and another eat : for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. Lu. 14—28 Which of you, intend- ing to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to fin- ish it? 29 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, 30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish. 1 Co. 3—9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. 10 According to the grace of God which is ^iven unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let evei-y man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 11 For other foundation can no man lay than tbat is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Ro. 15. 20, p. 232. BOAST. BANNER, BALDNESS.

Ge. 10—8 And Cush begat Nim- rod : he began to be a mighty one in the earth. 9 He was a mighty hunter be- fore the Lord: wherefore it is said. Even as Nimrod the mighty hmiter before the Lord. 10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Baoel. and Erech. and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. Ge. 11—1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. 2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and tliey dwelt there. 3 And they said one to another. Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar. 4 And they said. Go to, let us build us a city, and a tower, whose top may reach unto heav- en ; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. 5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 6 And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. 33 8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. 9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth. Is. 13—19 And Babylon, the gloi-y of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and GomoiTah. 20 It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation : neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shep- herds make their fold there. 21 But.wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there. 22 And the wiW beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleas- ant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged. Je. 50—45 Hear ye the counsel of the Lord, that he hath taken against Babylon- and his pur- poses, that he hath purposed against the land of the Chaldeans. 46 At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard among the na- tions. Je. 51—7 Babylon hath been a golden cup in the Lord's band, that made all the earth drmiken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad. 11 Make bright the arrows; gather the shields: the Lord hath raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: for his device is against Babylon, to destroy it; because it is the vengeance of the Lord. 24 And I will render unto Baby- lon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight, saith the Lord. 49 As Babylon hath caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Baby- lon shall fall the slain of all the earth. 50 Ye that have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still: remember the Lord afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind. 58 The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned with Are.

Jos. 15—63 As for the Jebusites the inhabitants of Jeru.salem, the children of Judah could not drive them out : but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at Je- rusalem unto this day. Ju. 1—8 Now the children of Judah had fought against Jeru- salem, and had taken it, and smitten it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire. 21 And the children of Benja- nirii did not drive the Jebusites out of Jerusalem; but the Jebu- sites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem unto this day. 2 Sa. 5— € And the king and his men went to Jerusalem unto the Jebusites, which spake unto David, saying. Except thou take away the blind and the lame, thou shalt iiiot come in : thinking, David cannot come in hither. 7 Nevertheless, David took the strong hold of Zion : the same is the city of David. (1 Chr. 11—5 And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come hither. Nevertheless David took the castle of Zion, which is the city of David.) 34 6 And David said. Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. So Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up, and was chief.) 8 And David said on that day, Whosoever getteth up to the g'ut- ter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind, that are hated of David's soul he shall be chief and captain. Wherefore they said, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house. 9 So David dwelt in the fort, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from Millo and inward.

Is. 1—1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw con- cerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. 2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth : for the Lord hath spok- en ; I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebel- led against me. 4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniqiaity, a seed of evil doers, children that are corrupt- ers: they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward. 7 Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your laud, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate. 16 Wash ye, make you clean; frat away the evil of your doings rom before mine eyes; cease to do evil ; 17 Learn to do well ; seek judg- ment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. 18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow ; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. 19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land : 20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword : for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. 21 How is the faithful city be- come a harlot! it was full of judg- ment; righteousness lodged in it: toiit now murderers. 23 Thy princes are rebellioiis, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them. 24 Therefore saith the Lord, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies. 26 And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called. The city of righteousness, the faithful city. 27 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness. Is. 3—1 For the Lord doth take away from Jerusalem and Judah the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water, 2 The mighty man.and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the pradent, and the ancient, 3 The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsel- lor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator, p. 146. Je. 5—1 Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judg- ment, that seeketh the truth ; and J will pardon it. Je. 7. 34, p. 293. Mi. 3—10 They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity. 12 Therefore shall Zion for your sake be ploughed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps.

Je. 21—10 For I have set my face against this city for evil, and not for good, saith the Lord: it shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall bum it with fire. 2 Ki. 25—1 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebu- chadnezzer king of Babylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem ; and they built forts against it round about. 2 And the city was besieg'ed imto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah. 35 3 And on the ninth day of the fourth month the famine pre- vailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land. 4 And the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate be- tween two walls, which is by the king's garden: (now the Chaldees were against the city round about:) and the king went the way toward the plain. 5 And the army of the Chaldees pursued after the king, and over- took htm in the plains of Jericho: and all his army were scattered fi'om him. 6 So they took the kin§, and brought him up to the knig of Babylon to Riblah ; and they gave judgment upon him. 7 And they slew the sons of Zed- ekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass, and car- ried him to Babylon. 8 And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Baby- lon came Nebuzar-adan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem : 9 And he burnt the house of the Lord, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man's house burnt he with hre. 10 And all the army of the Chal- dees, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down the walls of Jerusalem round about. (La. 4—11 The Lord hath accom- plished his fury; he hath poured out his fierce anger, and hath kin- dled a tire in Zion, and it hath devoured the foundations thereof. 12 The kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the world, would not have believed that the adversary and the enemy should have entered into the gates of Jerusalem.) 11 Now the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the fugitives that fell away to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard carry away. 12 But the captain of the guard left of the poor of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen. 18 And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door: 19 And out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war, and five men of them that were in the king's presence, which were found 'n the city, and the principal scribe of the host, wliicli mustered the people of the land, and threescore men of the people of the land that were found m the city : 20 And Nebuzar-adan captain of the guard took these, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah: 21 And the king of Babylon smote them, and slew them at Riblah in the land of Hamath.

Ps. 137—1 By the rivers of Baby- lon, there we sat do\^^l, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. 2 We lianged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. 3 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion. 4 How shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land? 5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cun- ning. C If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth ; if J prefer not Jerusa- lem above my chief joy. 7 Remember, O Lord, the chil- dren of Edom in the day of Jeru- salem ; who said. Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof. 8 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. 9 Happy shall he be, that tak- eth and dasheth thy little ones against the stones. 36 Ps. 122—1 I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord. 2 Our feet shall stand withm thy gates, O Jerusalem. 3 Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together. 4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, unto the testi- mony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord. 5 For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David. 6 Pray for the peace of Jerusa- lem : they shall prosper that love thee. 7 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces. 8 For my brethen and compan- ions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee. 9 Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek thy good. Ps. 132—11 The Lord hath sworn in truth unto David ; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne. 12 If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore. 13 For the Lord hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation. 14 This is my rest forever: here will I dwell ; for I have desii-ed it. 15 1 will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread. IC I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy. 17 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed. 18 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but xxpon himself shall his crown flourish. A new heaven, and a new earth, and the new or heavenly Jerusalem. The river of the water of life and the tree of life. Re. 21—1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth : for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away ; and there was no more sea. 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying. Behold, the tab- ernacle of God IS with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God him- self shall be with them, and be their God. 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 5 And he that sat upon the throne said. Behold, I make all things new. And he said vihto me. Write: for these words are true and faithful. 6 And he said unto me. It is done. I am Alpha and Omega^ the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7 He that overcometh shall m- herit all things ; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 8 But the fearful, and unbeliev- ing, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have then- part in the lake which bm-neth with fire and brimstone: which is the sec- ond death. 9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying. Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife. 10 And he can-ied me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalern, de- scending out of heaven from God, 11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal ; 12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel : 13 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. ■ . , , 14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. C 37 15 And he that talked with me liad a golden reed to measure the city, the gates and the wall. 16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measm-ed the city with the reed, twelve thou- sand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. 17 And he measured the wall thereof, a hundred and forty and four cubits, accorduig to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. 18 And tlie building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city waspure gold, like untoclear glass. 19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all mannerofpreciousstones. The first foimdation was jasper; the second, sapphire ; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an em- erald ; 20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius ; the seventh, chiTS- olite ; the eighth, beryl ; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysopra- sus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. 21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass. 22 And I saw no temple therein : for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. 23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it : for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. 24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. 25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. 26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it. 27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that de- fileth, neither whatsoever work- eth abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written m the Lamb's book of life. Re. 22—1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him; 4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. 5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. 6 And he said imto me. These sayuigs are faithful and true : and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done. 7 Behold, I come quickly: bless- ed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. 8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had lieard and seen, I fell down to worship the angel which shewed me these things. 9 Then saith he unto me. See thou do it not : for I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the savings of this book : worship God. 10 And he saith vmto me. Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. 11 He that is unjust, let him be mijust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still : and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. 12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of lire, and may enter in through the gates into the city. 15 For without are dogs, and sor- cerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie- ft '^ ^ t * - il iS a b D 16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you tliese tilings in the churches.

Nineveh (Jonah, the whale, and the gourd), Rehoboth, Calah, Resen, etc. Ge. 10—11 Asshur builded Nine- veh^and the city Rehoboth, and Calah, 12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah : the same is a gi-eat city. Jon. 1—1 Now the word of the Lord came imto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, 2 Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me. 3 But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to lar- shish : so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them imto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. 4 II But the Lord sent otit a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken. 5 Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every manixnto his god, and cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it of them. But Jonah was gone down into the sides of the ship ; and he lay, and was fast asleep. 6 So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him. What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not. 7 And they said every one to his fellow. Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah. 15 So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging. 16 Then the men feared the Lord exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice imto the Lord, and made vows. 17 Now the Lord had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. Mat. 12 — 40 For as Jonas was tliree days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas ; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. Jon. 2—1 Then Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish's belly, 2 And said, I cried by reason of mme affliction unto the Lord, and he heard me ; out of the belly of hell cried L and thou heardest my voice. 10 II And the Lord spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land. Jon. 3—1 And the word of the Lord came imto Jonah the sec- ond time, saying, 2 Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that 1 bid thee. 3 So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey. 4 And Jonah began to enter mto the citv a day's journey, and he cried, and said. Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown. 5 H So the people of Nineveh be- lieved God, and proclaimed a last, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. . 6 For word came mito the kmg of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sack- cloth, and sat in ashes. 7 And he caused it to be pro- claimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, .saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thmg: let them not feed, nor drink water: 8 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God : yea, let them tuni every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is m their hands. 9 Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away fi'om his fierce auger, that we perish not? 39 10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them : and he did it not. See Na. 3. Jon. 4—1 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry. 2 And he prayed unto the Lord, and said, 1 pray thee, O Lord, was not this my saying, when I was yet in uiy co\iutry ? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repent- est thee of the evil. 3 Therefore now, O Lord, take, I beseech thee, my life from me ; for it is better for me to die than to live. 4 t Then said the Lord, Doest thou well to be angry ? 5 So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would become of the city. 6 And the Lord God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his grief. So Jonah was exceeding' glad of the gourd. 7 But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered. 8 And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind ; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said. It is better for me to die than to live. 9 And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd ? And he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death. 10 Ihen said the Lord, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which th(m hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night : 11 And should not I spare Nin- eyeh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand per- sons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand ; and also much cattle? Zep. 2—13 And the Lord will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and will make Nineveh a desolation, and dry like a wilderness. 15 This is the rejoicing city that dwelt carelessly, that said in her heart, I am, and there is none be- sides me: how is she become a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in ! every one that passeth by her shall hiss, and wag his hand.

De- struction of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim. Lot, his wife, and his two daughters. Ge. 19—1 And there came two angels to Sodom at even ; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom : and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them ; and he bowed himself with his face toward the gromid ; 2 And he said. Behold now, my lords, turn in, 1 pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash yovir feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on yoiir ways. And they said. Nay: but we will abide in the street all night. 3 And he pressed upon them greatly; and they entered into nis house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat, 411 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and yovmg, all the people from every quarter : 5 And they called mito Lot, and said unto him. Where are the men which came in to thee thisnight? bring them out xmto us, that we may know them. 6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him, 7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly. 8 Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good m your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they vmder the shadow of my roof. 9 And they said. Stand back. And they said again. This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee than with them. Ajid they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door. 10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house, and snut the door. 11 And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door. 12 IF And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thoii hast in the city, bring them out, 13 For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the Lord ; and the Loed hath sent us to de- stroy it. 14 And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which mar- ried his daughters, and said. Up, £et you out of this place ; for the ORD will destroy this city. But he .seemed as one that mocked ixnto his sons in law. 15 f And when the momuig arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying. Arise, take thy wife. and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city. 16 And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his band, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daugh- ters; the Lord being merciful unto him : and they brought him forth, and set him without the city. 17 IT And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said. Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain ; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed. 18 And Lot said unto them. Oh, not so, my Lord : 19 Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in sav- mg my life; and I cannot escape to the movuitain, lest some evil take me, and I die: 20 Behold now, this city is near to tiee unto, and it is a little one: O, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live. 21 And he said unto him. See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken. 22 Haste thee, escape hither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar. 23 IT The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar. 41 24 Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brim- stone and tire from the Lord out of heaven ; 25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground. 26 f But his wite looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. (Lu. 17—32 Remember Lot's wife.) 27 If And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the Lord: 28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomonah, and toward all the landof the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace. 29 If And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt. 30 If And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him ; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters. 31 And the firstborn said unto the younger. Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in luito us after the manner of all the earth : 32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him. that we may preserve seed of our father. 33 And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father ; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. 34 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger. Behold. I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in. and lie with hiiii, that we may pre- serve seed of our father. 45 And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the yoimger arose, and lay with him ; and he perceived not when she lay do^vn, nor when she arose. 36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father. 37 And the firstborn bare a son. and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moab- ites unto this day. 38 And the younger, she also bare a son. and called his name Ben-ammi : the same is the father of the children of Amnion unto this day. De. 29—23 And that the whole laud thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor bearetli, nor any grass groweth therein, like the over- throw of Sodom and Gomorrah, Adinah and Zeboim, which the Lord overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath : Jude 1—7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like mamier. giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal tire. Hebron, in the land of Canaan, the Promised Laud (Ge. 12 and 13, p. 148, 149); where Abraham. Isaac, and Jacob sojom-ned, and where they and their wives were buried in the cave of JVIachpelah ; and after tlie return of the chil- dren of Israel from Egypt to the Promised Land, Hebron was given to Caleb. Jos. 14. 6-15 and 1 Ki. 2. 11, p. 365. Ge. 23—1 And Sarah was a hun- dred and seven and twenty years old : these were the years of the life of Sarah. 2 And Sarah died in Kirjath- arba; the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan: and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her. 3 if And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spake unto the sons of Heth, saying, 4 I am a stranger and a sojourn- er with you: give me a possession of a buryingplace with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight. 5 And the children of Heth an- swered Abraham, saying, 6 Hear us. my lord; thou art a mighty prince among us: in the choice of our sepulchres bury thy dead; none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre, but that thou mayest bury thy dead. 42 7 And Abraham stood wp, and "bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth. 8 And he communed with them, saying, If it be your mind that I should bui-y my dead out of niy sight, entreat for me to Ephron, 9 That he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath, which is in the end of his field ; for as much money as it is worth he shall give it me for a possession of a buryingplace amongst you. 10 And Ephi-on the Hittite an- swered Abraham in the andieuce of the children of Heth, even of all that went in at the gate of his city, saying, 11 Nay, my lord, hear me: the field give I thee, and the cave that is therein, I give it thee; in the presence of the sons of my people give I it thee: bm-y thy dead. 12 And Abraham bowed down himself before the people. 13 And he spake imto Ephron saying. But if thou wilt give it, I pray thee, hear me: I will give thee money fo« the field; and I will bury my dead there. 14 And Ephron answered Abra- ham, saying unto him, 15 My lord, hearken unto me: the land is worth four hundred shekels of silver; what is that betwixt me and thee? bury there- fore thy dead. 16 And Abraham hearkened un- to Ephron ; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver, which he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four- hundred shekels of silvei', current money with the merchant. 19 And after this, Abraham biir- ied Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre: the same is Hebron in the laud of Canaan. Ge. 25—1 Then again Abraham took a wife, and ner name was Keturah. 2 And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan,aud Medan, andMidian, and Ishbak, and Shuah. 5 And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac. 6 But unto the sons of the con- cubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, mito the east country. 7 And these are the years of Abraham's life, a hundred three- score and fifteen years. 8 Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people. 9 And his sons Isaac and Ish- mael buried him in .the cave of Machpelah. Ge. 35—27 And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto the city of Arba, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac so- journed. 28 And the days of Isaac were a hundred and fom-score years. 29 And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered unto his people: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him. Ge. 47—28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of Jacob was a hundred forty and seven years. 29 And the time drew nigh that Israel must die: and he called his son Joseph, and said unto him, bury me not, I pray thee in Egypt: But I will lie with my fathers, Ge. 49—30 In the cave of Mach- pelah, in the land of Canaan. 31 Ihere they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they bru-ied Isaac and Rebekah his wife ; and there I buried Leah. Ge. 50—12 And his sons did ac- cording as he commanded them. Jos. 14—13 Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb Hebi-on. 14 Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb; because that he wholly followed the Lord God of Israel. Bethlehem.

Ge. 35—16 And they journeyed from Bethel: and Rachel tra- vailed, and she had hard labour. 17 And when she was in hard labour, the midwife said unto her. Fear not ; thou shaft have this son also. 18 And as her soul was in depart- ing, (for she died,) she called his name Ben-oni: but his father called him Benjamin. 19 And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Beth-lehem. 20 And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day. 43 Rii. 1—22 Naomi and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter iu law, returned out of the country of Moab: and came to Beth-lehem. Ru. 4—13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife : and she bare a sou. 17 And they called his name Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David. 1 Sa. 17—12 Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Beth- iehem-judah, whose name was Jesse^ and he had eight sons: And David was the youngest. 1 Chr. 2—13 And Jesse begat his firstborn Eliab, Abiiiadab the second, and Shimma the third, 14 Nethaneel the fourth, Raddai the fifth, _ . , , 15 Ozem the sixth, David the seventh: . 16 Whose sisters were Zeruiah, and Abigail. And the sons of Zeruiah; Abishai, and Joab, and A.sahel, three. 17 And Abigail bare Amasa. (David's sons, see 1 Chr. 3.) I Sa. IG— 1 And the Lord said unto Samuel. How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have re- jected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and fo to Jes.se the Beth-lehemite : for have provided me a king among his sons. . , . , 4 And Samuel did that which the Lord spake, and came to Beth-lehem. 10 Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said luito Jesse, The Lord hath not chosen these. II And Samuel said mito Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said. There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him. 12 And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was niddy, and of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the Lord said. Arise, anoint him : for this is he. 13 Then Samuel took the hona of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethi-en: and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward.

COMMUNION. 1 Co. 10—15 I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say. 16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the com- munion of the body of Christ? 17 For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread. 21 Ye camiot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cujp of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils 1 Co. 11—17 Now in this that I declare imto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse. 18 For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it. 19 For there must be also here- sies among you, that they which are approved may be made mani- fest among you. 20 When ye come together there- fore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper. 21 For in eating every one tak- eth before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken. 22 What! have je not houses to eat and to drink m? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not. 23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus, the same night in which he was be- trayed, took bread: 24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said. Take, eat ; this is my body, which is broken for you: this ao in re- membrance of me. 25 After the same manner also he took the cua when he had supped, saying. This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. 26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. 27 Wlierefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28 But let a man examine him- self, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 45 29 For he that eateth and drink- eth unworthily, eateth and drink- eth damnation to himself, not dis- cerning the Lord's body. 30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you. and many sleep. 31 For if we would judge our- selves, we should not be judged. 32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. 33 Wherefore, my brethren,when ye come together to eat, tarry one lor another. 34 And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come. The Ten Commandments; the tables of stone on which the Ten Commandments were written by the finger of God ; Aaron and the golden calf, at the sight of which Mo.ses became angry and cast the tables of stone out of his hands and brake them. And God's anger was so great that he caused the children of Levi to kill three thou- sand of their brotliers. The tables of stone are renewed, and, when Moses came down from the moun- tain with them, his face shone so brightly that Aaron and the chil- dren of Israel were afraid of him. So Moses covered his face with a veil. The ark of the covenant in which the tables of stone were to be kept. Moses repeats the Ten Commandments to the people. See De. 5. Ex. 19—1 In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai. 2. And there Israel camped be- fore the momit. 3 And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord called unto him out of the mountain,saying,Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel ; 4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare yo u on eagles wings, and brought you unto myself. 5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my cov- enant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people : for all the earth is mine: 6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation. 7 And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words. 8 And all the people answered together, and said, All that the Lord hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the Lord. 9 And the Lord said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, tliat the people may hear when I speak with thee, and be- lieve thee for ever. 10 Go unto the people, and sanc- tify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes. 11 And be ready against the third day: for the third day the Lord will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai. 12 And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, say- ing,Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it : whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death: 13 There shall not a hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through : whether it be beast or man, it sliall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shajl come up to the mount. 14 And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes. 16 And it came to pa.ss on the third day in the nioniing, that there were thunders and light- nings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trum- pet exceeding loud ; so that all the people that was in the camp trem- 17 And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God ; and they stood at the nether part of the mount. 46 18 And moTxnt Sinai was alto- gether ou a smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire : and tlie smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly. 19 And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice. 20 And the Lord came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount : 21 And said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto the Lokd to gaze, and many of them perish. 22 And let the priests also, which come near to the Lord, sanctify themselves, lest the Lord break forth upon them. And thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee. 25 So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them. Ex. 20—1 And God spake all these words, saying, 2 I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth be- neath, or that is in the water under the earth : 5 Thou shalt not bow down thy- self to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord tliy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me ; 6 And shewing mercy unto thou- sands of them that love me, and keep mv commandments. 7 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain : for the Lord will not hold him guilt- less that taketh his name in vain. 8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holv. 9 Six davs shalt thou labour, and do all tliy work : 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God : in it tliou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daugh- ter, thy manservant, nor thy maid- servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day. and hallowed it. 12 IT Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. 13 Thou Shalt not kill. 14 Thou shalt not commit adul- tery. 15 Thou shalt not steal. 16 Thou shalt not bear false wit- ness against thy neighboiir. 17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidser- vant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing tliat is thyneighbom-'s. 18 IT And all the people saw the thtmderings, and the lightnings, and the noi.se of the trumpet, and the motmtain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off. 19 And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die. 20 And Moses said unto the peo- ple. Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not. 21 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was. 22 IT And the Lord said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven. 23 Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold. Ex. 24—12 And the Lord said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written ; that thou mayest teach them. 13 And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua ; and Moses went up into the mount of God. 14 And he said unto the elders, Tan-y ye here for us, until we come again unto you: and, be- hold, Aaron and Hur are with you : if an j; man have any matters to do, let him come unto them. 15 And Moses went up into the moiint, and a cloud covered the mount. 16 And the glory of the Lord abode upon mount Shiai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud. 17 And the sight of the gloiT of the Lord was like devouring tire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the childi-en of Israel. 18 And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and was in the mount forty days and forty nights. Ex. 31—18 And he gave mito Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testi- mony, tables of stone, written the finger of God. Aaron and the Golden Calf. Ex. 32—1 And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come dowTi out of the momit, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto hmi, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of EgyiJt, we wot not what is become of him. 2 And Aaron said. Break ofif the golden earrings which are in the ears of your wives, of your .sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me. 3 And all the people brake off the golden earrings, and brought them unto Aaron. 4 And he received them, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said. These be thy gods, O Israel, which lirought thee up out of the land of Egypt. (Ps. 106—19 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the mol- ten image.) 5 And Aaron built an altar be- fore it, and said. To morrow is a feast to the Lord. 6 And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offer- ings, and brought peace offerings ; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play. 7 And the Lord said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou brought- est out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves: 47 8 They have turned aside quick- ly oiit of the way which I com- manded them: they have made a molten calf, and worshipped it. and sacrificed there vuito, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, p. 234. 15 H And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony wei-e in his hand : the tables were writ- ten on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they wi-itten. 16 And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables, p. 21.5. 19 IF And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dan- cing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them be- neath the moiint. 20 And he took the calf which they had made, and bunat it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strewed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it. 26 Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said. Who is on the Lord's side? let him come imto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves to- gether unto him 27 And he said unto them. Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour. 28 And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about tlu^ee thousana men. 35 And the Lord plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made. Ex. 34—1 And the Lord said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon these tables the- words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest. 2 And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning unto mount Sinai, and present tnyself there to me in the top of the momit. 3 And no man shall come up with thee, neither let any man be seen throughout all the mount; neither let the flocks nor herds feed before that mount. i IT And he hewed two tables of stone like unto the first ; and Mo- ses rose up early in the morning, and went up uuto mount Sinai, as the Lord had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone. 5Aud the LoRB descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord. 6 And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed. The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gra- cious,longsufferiug and abundant in goodness and truth, 7 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgres- sion and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the chil- dren's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation. 8 And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped. 27 And the Lord said unto Mo- ses. Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel. 28 And he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights ; he did neither eat bread.nor drink water. And He wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments. I)e.9.9-18. 29 IT And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Si- nai with tlie two tables of testi- monyinMoses'hand, when became down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him. 30 And when Aaron and ajl the children of Israel saw Moses, be- hold, the skiu of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him. 31 And Moses called unto them ; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him: and Moses talked with them. 32 And afterward all the chil- dren of Israel came nigh: and he gave them in commandment all that the Lord had spoken with iiim in moimt Sinai. 48 C 33 And till Moses had done speaking with them, he put a vail on his face. 34 But when Moses went in be- fore the Lord to speak with him, he took the vail off, until he came out. And he came out, and spake unto the children of Israel that which he was commanded. 35 And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses' face shone : and Moses put the vail upon his face again, until he went in to speak witli Him. 2 Co. 3—7 If the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stead- fastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his coimtenance; which glory was to be done away ; 11 For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious. 12 Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech : 13 And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the chil- dren of Israel could not steadfast- ly look to the end of that which is abolished : 14 But their minds were blind- ed: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. 15 But aven \mto this day.when Moses is read, the vail is upon theu- heart. 16 Nevertheless, when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. De. 10—1 At that time the Lord said unto me. Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount, and make thee an ark of wood. 2 And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables which thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark. 3 And I made an ark of shittim wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the momit, having the two tables in mine hand. 4 And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, whicli the Lord spake unto you in the mount, out of the midst of the nre, in the day of the assenbly: and the Lord gave them unto me. 49 5 Aud I turned myself and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made ; and there they be, as the LoKD commanded me. Ark of the Covenant. Ex. 25—10 IT And they shall make an ark of shittim wood : two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, aud a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, aud a cubit and a half the height thereof. 11 And thou shalt overlap it ■with pui-e gold, within and with- out shalt thou overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about. 12 And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, aud put them in the four corners; a:"^! two rmgs shall be in the one side of it. and two rings in the other side of it. 13 Aud thou shalt make staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold. 14 And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them. 15 The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it. 16 And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee. He. 9—1 And the ark of the cov- enant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had maiuia, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant. Pro. 13—13 Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded. Is. 48—18 O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea. Ec.8— 5 Whoso keepeth the com- mandmentshall feel no evil thing : and a wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment. Mat. 5—19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. Mat. 19—17 And he said unto him. Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter intolife,keepthe commandments. Mat. 22—35 Then oue of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a^ guestion, tempting him, and say- ing, 36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said luito him. Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as tliyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. De. 6—5 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, aud with all thv might. 13 Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name. Le. 19—18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy peo- ple, but thou shalt love thy neigh- bour as thyself : I am the Lord. Mar. 7—7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doc- trines the commandments of men. 8 For laying aside the com- mandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like ihings ye do. 9 Full well ye reject the com- mandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. Juo. 12—49 The Father which sent me, he gave me a command- ment, what I should say, and what I should speak. 50 And I know that his com- mandment is life everlasting. Jno. 13—34 A new command- ment I give unto you. That ye love one another ; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. .Jno. 1.5—10 If ye keep my com- mandments, ye shall aoide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. 12 This is my commandment. That ye love one another, as ' have loved you. 50 1 Ti. 1—5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a ^ood con- science, and of faith unfeigned. Ec. 12—13 Let us hear the con- clusion of the whole matter : Fear ijrod, and keep his command- ments: for this IS the whole duty of man.

Pro. 1—24 I have called, and ye refused ; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded ; 27 When your fear cometh, and when distress and anguish cometh upon you. 28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me. Mat. 20-16 So the last shall be first, and the first last : for many be called, but few chosen. Matt. 22—14 For many are called, but few are chosen. Ep. 4—1 I therefore beseech you that ye walk worthy of the voca- tion wherewith ye are called. 1 Co. 1—26 Ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. 1 Cu. 7—17 But as God hath dis- tributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches. 20 Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called. 21 Art thou called being a serv- ant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather. 22 For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: also he that is called, bemg free, is Christ's servant. 23 \ e are bought with a price ; be not ye the servants of men. 24 Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God. Ro. 8—28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestmate to be con- formed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren, 30 Moreover, whom he did pre- destinate, them he also calfed; and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. Ep. 1—4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foun- dation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself. 11 In whom also we have ob- tamed an inheritance, being pre- destinated according to the pur- pose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will. Ro. 11—28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the elec- tion, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. 29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

CROSS, CONFESS. 2 Sa. 16—23 The counsel of Ahith- ophel, which he counselled in those days, was as it a man had inquire d at the oracle of God : so was all the counsel of Ahitho- phel both with David and with Absalom. Job 12—17 He leadeth counsel- lors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools. Pro. 1—25 Ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof. 30 They would none of my coun- sel: they despised all my reproof. Pro. 11—14 Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multi- tude of counsellors there is safety. Pro. 15 — 22 Without counsel pur- poses are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.

Pro. 24—6 For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety. Is. 8—10 Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand : for God is with us. Is. 41— 28 And there was no man; even among them, and there was no counsellor,' that, when I asked of them, could answer a word. Is. 45—21 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let tjiem take counsel together. Is. 47—13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the star- gazers, the monthly prognostica- tors, stand up, and save thee. Je. 32—18 The Great. The Mighty God, The Lord of hosts; great in counsel, and mighty in work. Mat. 10—38 And he that taketli • not his cross, and foUoweth after me, is not worthy of me. Mat. Ki— 24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples. If any man will come after me, let him deny him- self, and take up his cross, and follow me. Lu. 14—27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and ctmie after me, cannot be my disciple. Lu. 23—26 And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus. Jno. 19—17 Je.sus bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is callea in the Hebrew Golgotha. 18 Where they crucified him, and two others with him. 19 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cro.ss. And the writ- ing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH. THE KING OF THE JEWS. p. 516, 517. Phi. 2—8 And he humbled him- self, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Ps. 32—5 I said.Iwillcontessmy transgressions unto the Lord ; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah. Mat. 10— 32 Whosoever shall con- fess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. 33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. Lu. 12—8 Whosoever shall con- fess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God : 9 But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God. Ro. 10—9 That if thou shalt con- fess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Ja. 5—16 Confess your faults one to another. 1 Jno. 1—0 If we confess our sins, he is fiiithful and just to forgive us our sins. 1 Jno. 4—15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God.

Ge.l7— 9AndGodsaid unto Abra- ham, Thou shalt keep my cove- nant, thou, and thy seed afterthee in their generations. 10 This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised. 11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin ; and it shall be a token of the covenant be- twixt me and you.' 12 And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your genera- tions, he that is bom in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed. 13 He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circum- cised : and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant. 14 And the uncircunicised man child whose flesli of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people ; he hath broken my covenant. 23 And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house.and all that were bought with his money, everymale among the men of Abraham's house : and circumcised the flesh of their fore- skin in the selfsame day, as God had said unto him. 24 And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised. 25 And Ishmael his son was thir- teen years old, when he was cir- cumcised. Ge. 21^ And Abraham circum- cised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him. 5 And Abraham was a hundred years old. when his son Isaac was bom unto him. p. 335. De. 30—6 -■^nd the Lord will cir- cumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the Lord with all tliine heart and soul. Je. 4 — 1 Circumcise yourselves to the Lord, and take away the fore- skins of your heart, ye men of Judah and Jerusalem; lest my fury come forth like fire, and bum that none can quench it, because of the evil of your douigs. Ro. 2—25 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a brealcer of the law, thy circumcision is made un- circumcision. 1 Co. 7—19 Circumcision is noth- ing, and uncircumcision is noth- ing, but the keeping of the com- mandments of God. Gal. 5—6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love. Lu. 2—21 And when eight days were accomplished for the circum- cising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb. p. 498.

Jno. 14—16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you an- other Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever ; 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not. neither knoweth him : but ye know him • for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 53 18 I will not leave you comfort- less: I will come to you. 26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will seud in my name, he' shall teach you all things, and bring ail things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said mito you. 1 Ki. 12—14 Rehoboam said Solo- mon my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions. De. 8 — 5 Also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the Lord thy God chasteneth thee. Job. 5. 17, p. 189. 6 Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him. Pro. 3—11 My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of his cor- rection : 12 For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth ; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. He. 12—7 If ye endure chasten- ing, God dealeth with you as with sons: for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? 8 But if ye be without chastise- ment, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. Ex. 25—22 And there! will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cheru- bim which are upon the ark of the testimony. Job. 4—2 Ii we assay to com- mune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? but who can withhold himself from speaking? p. 383.

Mat. 12—1 At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the com ; and his disciples were a hungered, and began to pluck the ears of com, and to eat. 2 But the Pharisees said. Thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day. 3 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was a hungered ; 4 How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shew- bread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither lor them which were with him, but only for the priests? (David and his 55 men did eat tlie bread, and in conseciuence eighty-five priests and all the people m the city of Nob were slam. 1 Sa. 21, 22, p. 360.) 5 Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless ? 6 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple. 8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.

It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by eveiT word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. (De. 8—3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.) 5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, 6 And saith unto him. If thou be the Son of (xod, ca.st thyself down : for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. (Ps. 91—11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.) 7 Jesus said unto him, It is writ- ten again. Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. (De. 6—16 Ye shall not tempt the Lord your God, as ye tempted him in Massah. Ex. 17. 7, p. 302.) 8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high moun- tain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9 And saith unto him. All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 10 Then saith Jesus mito him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written. Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. (Ex. 34— 14 For thou shalt worship no other God : for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.

Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil liad thrown him in the midst, he came out of him. and hurt him not. 41 And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying. Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he reluiking them suffered them not to speak : for they knew that he was Christ.

Forbid him not : for he that is not against us is for us. Lu. 10—17 And the seventy re- turned again with joy, saying.

Is not this the Son of David? 24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, btit by Beelzebub the price of the devils. 25 And Jesits knew their thoughts, and said unto them. Every kingdom divided against itself is brottght to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: 26 And it Satan cast out vSatan, he is divided against himt'«lf ; how shall then his kingdom stand? 27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, bv whom do your chil- dren cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges. 28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come luito you. Mat. 17—14 And there came to Jesus a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying, 15 Lord, have mercy on my son ; for he is lunatic, and sore vexed : for ofttimes he falleth into the tire, and oft into the water. 16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him. 17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse gen- eration, how long shall I be with you? how long shall J suffer you? bring him hither to me. 18 And Jesus rebuked the devil ; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour. 19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? 20 And Jesus said unto them. Be- cause of your unbelief: for verily I say xxnto you. If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain. Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove: and nothing shall be impossible unto you. 21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

I adjure thee by God. that tbou torment me not. 8 (For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.) 9. And he asked him, W hat is thy name? And he answered, saying.

Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time, 13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast imto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. . 14 And to the woman were giv- en two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wil- derness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. 15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away. 62 D 16 And the earth helped tlie woman; and the earth openec. her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out. 17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant ot her seed, which keep the com- mandments of God. and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. The two Beasts and the Dragon. Re. 13—1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven neads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blas- phemy. , . , X 2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. 3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. 4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like un- to the beast? who is able to make war with him? . 5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. 6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemv against God. to blas- pheme his name, and his taber- nacle, and them that dwell in heaven. . , . ^ 7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slam from the foundation of the world. , , , . ^ ^. .. 10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. 11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth ; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to wor- ship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth. 14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had Eower to do in the sight of the east; saying to them that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. 15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the im- age of the beast should be killed. IC And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of tlie beast, or the number of his name.. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast : for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. DIE, DEATH, DEAD.

Ru. 1—16 And Ruth said to Naomi, Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee : for whither thou goest, I will go ; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: 17 vVhere thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the Lord do so to me, and more also, if aught but death part thee and me. 22 So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter in law, with her, which returned out of the coiuitry of Moab: and they came to Beth-lehem in the begin- ning of barley harvest.

Ge. 1—1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void ; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said. Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

Is. 5—20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil ; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter ! 30 And if one look unto the laud, behold darkness and sorrow ; and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof. Is. 45—7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lokd do all these things. Is. 59—9 Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity ; for bright- ness, but we walk in darkness.

Ex. 20—21 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was. p. 46. Ps. 18-9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and dark- ness was under his feet. 10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did tiy : yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind. II He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies. 2 Sa. 22. 10, 11, 12. rs. 82—5 They know not, neither will they understand ; they walk on in darkness. Mat. 6—23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If there fore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
