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.

your 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

lindeth ; and to him that kuocketh
it shall be opened.
Mat. 21—22 And all things,

ye may consume it upon your

feast.
Is. 48—10 I have refined thee,

me early.
Na. 1—9 What do ye imagine
against the Lord? he will make

are at ease : for I was but a little

Is. 1—24 I will ease me of mine
adversaries, and avenge me of
mine enemies.
Mat. .5—25 Agree with thine ad-

the way with him; lest at any

to the judge, and the judge de-

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.

not.

lift up thy face without spot ; yea ,
thou shalt be steadfast, and shalt
not fear:

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.

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.

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.

the seven churches, see Re. 2 and

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.
Ps. 104—1 Who maketh his an-
gels spirits ; his ministers a flam-
"^5a. 8—16 And I heard a man's
voice which said, Gabriel, make
this man to imderstand the vi-

prince, p. 247. , , ,, ,
Jude 1—9 Michael the arch-
angel, when contending with the
devil, p. 61 and Re. 12. 7-9. p. 62.
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.

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<nind a trum-
pet before thee, as the liypoerites
do in the synagogues and in the
streets, that they may have glory
of men. Verily I say imto you.
They have then- reward.
3 But when thou doest alms,
let not thy left hand know what
thy right doeth :
4 That thine ahns may be in se-
cret : and thy Father which seeth
in secret shall reward thee openly.
Je. 8—12 Were they ashamed
when they had committed abomi-
nation? nay, they were not at all
ashamed, neither could they
blush; therefore shall they fall
among them that fall : in the time
of their visitation they shall be
cast down, saith the Lord.
Mar. 8—38 Whosoever therefore
shall be ashamed of me and of my
words, in this adulterous and sin-
ful generation, of him also shall
the Son of man be ashamed, when

tery with her already in his heart.
Le. 20—10 And the man that
committeth adultery with an-
other man's wife, even he that
committeth adultery with his
neighbour's wife, the adulterer
and the adulteress shall surely be
put to death.
Pro. 6—32 Wlioso committeth
adultery with a woman lacketh

destroyeth his own soul.
33 A wound and dishonour .shall
he get ; and his reproach shall not
be wiped away.
Ps. 88—8 Thou hast put away
mine acquaintance far from nie ;
tliou hast made me an abomma-
tion unto them.
Je. 15—17 I sat not in the as-

joiced ; I sat alone because of thy
hand ; for thou hast filled me with
indignation.
Job 6—25 How forcible are right
words ! but what doth your argu-
ing reprove?
Is. 10—15 Shall the axe boast

him that smote the anvil.

the angel of the Lord, she fell
down under Balaam: and Ba-
laam's anger was kindled, and he
smote the ass with a staff.
28 And the Lord opened the
mouth of the ass, and she said unto
Balaam, What have I done unto
thee, that thou ha.st smitten me
these three times?
29 And Balaam said unto the
ass. Because thou hast mocked
me: I would there were a sword
in mine hand, for now would I
kill thee.
30 And the ass said uiito Ba-
laam, Am not I thine ass, upon
which thou hast ridden ever since
I was thine unto this day? was I
ever wont to do so unto thee?
And he said. Nay.

THE FIRST BROTHERS.
BROTHERS, BRETHREN. See

p. 279.
Ge. 4—1 And Adam knew Eve
his wife ; and she conceived, and
bare Cain, and said, 1 have gotten
a man from the Lord.
2 And she again bare his brother
Abel. And Abel was a keeper of
sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the
ground.
3 And in process of time it came
to iiass, that Cain brought of tlie
fruit of the ground an offering
unto the Lord.
4 And Abel, he also brought of
the firstlings of his flock and of
the fat thereof. And the Lord
had respect unto Abel and to his
offering :
5 But unto Cain and to his offer-
ing he had not respect. And Cain
was very vrroth, and his counte-
nance fell.
6 And the Lord said unto Cain,
Why art thou wroth? and why is
thy countenance fallen?
7 If thou doest well, shalt thou
not be accepted? and if thou doest
not well, sin lieth at the door : and
unto thee shall be his desire, and
thou shalt rale over him.
8 And Cain talked with Abel his
brother : and it came to pass, when
they were in the field, that Cain
rose up against Abel his brother,
and slew him.
9 IT And the Lord said xmto
Cain, Where is Abel thy brother?
And he said, I know not: Am I
my brother's keeper?
10 And he said. What hast thou
done? the voice of thy brother's
blood crieth unto me from the
ground.
11 And now art thou cursed from
the earth, which hath opened her
mouth to receive thy brother's
blood from thy hand.
12 When thou tillest the ground,
it shall not henceforth yield unto
thee her strength ; a fugitive and
a vagabond shalt thou be in the
earth.
13 And Cain said unto the Lord,
My punishment is greater than I
can bear.
14 Behold, thou hast driven me
out this day from the face > )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.

and thine heart shall not be
grieved when thou givest unto
him: because that for this tiling

in all thy works, and in all that
thou puttest thine hand vmto. p.

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. -

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,

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.

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.

you.
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.
Ac. 20—3.5 Remember the words
of the Lord Jesus, how he said,
It is more blessed to give ^han to
receive.

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.
Jos. 23—6 Be ye therefore very
courageous to keep and to do all
that is written in the book of the
law of Moses, that ye turn not
aside therefrom to the right hand
or to the left.
Mai. 3— IG And a book of remem-
brance was written for them that
feared the Lord, and thought

written of me.
Ps. 69—28 Let them be blotted
out of the book of the living, and

Re. 3—5 He that overcometh,

name before my Father, and be-

Lamb's book of life. p. 37.
Re. 22—7 Beliold, I come quickly :
blessed is he that keepeth the
sayings of the prophecy of this
book.
10 And he saith, Seal not the
sayings of the prophecy of this
book : for the time is at hand. p.
37.
18 For I testify unto every man
that heareth the words of the
prophecy of this book, If any nnin
shall add unto these things, God
shall add unto him the plagues
that are written in this book.
19 And if any man shall take
away from the words of the book
of this prophecy, God shall take
away his part out of the book of
life, and out of the holy city, and
from the things which are writ-
ten in this book, p. 536.
Is. 29—11 And the vision of all is
become unto you as the words of
a book tliat is sealed, which men
deliver to one that is learned, say-
ing. Read this, I pray thee: and
he saith, I cannot ; for it is sealed :
12 And the book is delivered to
him that is not learned, saying.
Read this, 1 pray thee: and he
saith, I am not learned.
18 And in that day shall the
deaf hear the words of the book,
and tlie eyes of the blind shall
see out of obscurity, and darkness.
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.
Ac. 19—19 Many of them which
used curious arts brought their
books together, and burned them
before all men : and they counted
the price of them, and found it
lifty thousand pieces of silver.
Job 19—23 Oh that my words
were now written! oh that they
were printed iii a book I p. 385.
Job 31—35 Behold, my desire is,
that the Almighty would answer
me, and that mine adversaiT had
written a book. p. 387.
Is. 34—16 Seek ye out of the book
of the Lord, and read : no one of
these shall fail, none shall want
her mate.
Phi. 4—3 And I entreat thee, true
yokefellow, help those women
which laboured with me in the
gospel, with Clement and my lel-
low labourers, whose names are
in the book of life.
Ec. 12—12 And further, by these,
my son, be admonished : of mak-
ing many books there is no end :
and much study is a weariness of
the flesh.
Eze. 2—9 And when I looked,
behold, a hand was sent mito me ;
and, lo, a roll of a book was
therein;
10 And he spread it before me ;
and it was written within and
without: and there was written
therein lamentations, and mourn-
ing, and woe.
Je. 51—63 And it shall be, when
thou hast made an end of reading
this book, that thou shalt bind a
stone to it, and cast it into the
midst of Euphrates.

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©.

we are at home in the body, we

Ge. 1—24 God said. 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

mountains: and the wild beasts
of the field are mine.
Job 21—10 Their bull gendereth,

nine cubits was the length there-
of, and four cubits the breadth of
it, after the cubit of a man.
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.

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.

heaven, thou art there : if I make
my bed in hell, behold, thou art

upon his bed ; he setteth himseli
in a way that is not good.
Ps 41— 3 The Lord will strength-

ing: thou wilt make all his bed

Pro. 22—27 If thou hast nothing
to pay, wliy should he take away
thy bed from under thee?
Is. 28—20 For the bed is shorter
than that a man can stretch him-
self on it: and the covermg nar-
rower than that he can wrap him-
self in it. , ^^ ^ J

arose, and went all night, and
took the body of Saul and the
bodies of his sons from the wall ot
Beth-shan, and came to Jabesli,
and burnt them there, p. 422.
Je. 29—22 And of them shall be
taken up a curse by all the cap-
tivity of Judah which are in Baby-
lon, saying. The Lord make thee
like Zedekiah and like Ahab,
whom the kuig of Babylon roasted
in the tire.
Am. 2—1 Thus saith the Lord ;
For three transgressions of Moab,
and tor four, I will not turn away
the punishment thereof ; because
1 he bm-ned the bones of the king
of Edom into lime.
Am. 6—10 And a man's uncle
shall take him up, and he that
burnetii him, to bring out the
bones out of the house.

all my goods to feed the poor, and
though I give my body to be

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.

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.

Le. 3—17 It shall be a perpetual
statute for your generations
throughout all your dwellings,
that ye eat neither fat nor blood.
Le. 17—10 And whatsoever hian
there be of the house of Israel, or
of the strangers that sojourn
among you, that eateth any man-
ner of blood; I will even set my
face against that soul that eateth
blood, and will cut him of¥ from
among his people.
11 For the life of the flesh is in
the blood ; and I have given it to
you upon the altar to make an
atonement for your souls: for it
is the blood that maketh an atone-
ment for the soul.
12 Therefore I said unto the chil-
dren of Israel, No soul of you shall
eat blood, neither shall any stran-
ger that sojounieth among you
eat blood. Le. 7. 22-27, p. 79.
2 Ki. 21—16 Moreover Manasseh
shed innocent blood very mixch,
till he had filled Jerusalem from
one end to another, p. 464.
1 Chr. 22— s But the word of the
Lord came to David, saying. Thou
hast shed blood abundantly, and
hast made great wars: thou shalt
not build a house unto my name,
because thou hast shed much
blood upon the earth in my sight.
p. ;J66.
Is. 59—3 For your hands are de-
filed with blood, and your fingers
with iniquity; your lips have
spoken lies, your tongue hath
muttered perverseness.
Eze 33—25 Thus saith the Lord
God ; Ye eat with the blood, and
lift up your eyes toward your
idols, and shed blood: and shall
ye pos.sess the land?
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.
Re. 14—20 And blood came out
of the winepress, even unto the
horse bridles, p. 130.
Pro. 14-14 The backslider in
heart shall be filled with his own
ways: and a good man shall be
satisfied from himself.
Je. 2-19 Thine own wickedness
shall correct thee, and thy back-
slidings shall reprove thee: know
therefore and see that it is an
evil thing and bitter, that thou
hast forsaken the Lord thy God.
Je. 5—6 Their transgressions are
many, and their backslidings are
mcreased.
Je. 8—5 Why then is this people
of Jerusalem slidden back by a
perpetual backsliding? they hold
last deceit, they refuse to return.
Pro. 2.5—23 The north wind driv-
etli aw-ay rain ; so doth an angiy
countenance a backbiting tongue.
Ro. 1—30 Backbiters, haters of
God, despiteful, proud, boasters,
inventors of evil things, disobedi-
ent to parents.
Gal. 5—15 But if ye bite and
devour one another, take heed
that ye be not consumed one of
another.
Pro. 22—29 Seest thou a man
diligent in his business? he shall

ness, and to work with yoiu- own
hands, as we commanded you.
Le. 25—14 And if thou sell aught
unto thy neighbour, or buyest
aught of thy neighbour's hand,
ye shall not oppress one another.
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.

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!) Some of them thought,
because Judas had the bag, that
Jesus had said unto him. Buy those
things that we have need of
against the feast; or, that he
should give something to the poor,
p. 513.

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.

than the sand of the sea. p. 383.
Job 31 — 6 Let me be weighed in

weighed in the balances, and art
found wantmg. p. 391.
Ho. 12—7 He is a merchant, the

Am. 8—5 Saymg, When will the
new moon be gone, that we may
sell corn? and the sabbath, that
we may set fortli wheat, making

great, and falsifying the balances
by deceit?
Mi. 6—11 Shall I count them
pure with the wicked balances,

upon all the hands shall be cut-
tings, and upon the loins sack-
cloth.
2 Sa. 20—9 And Joab said to
Amasa, Art thou in health, my
brother? 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.

are the servants of corruption : for
of whom a man is overcome, of the
same is he brought in bondage.
BAPTISM. Baptism of Jesus
Christ. See also. Mat. 28. 19,20, p.
521 ; Mar. 16. 14-18, p. 522; Ro. 6. 3.
p. 248; 1 Co. 10. 1, p. 256.
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. For the
only true sign of a believer in

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.

mention of brick, used m building

32. 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.

be bald, and every beard clipped:
upon all the hands shall be cut-
tings, and upon the loins sack-
cloth.
Eze. 7—18 And shame shall be
upon all faces, and baldness upon
all their heads.
Mi. 1—16 Make thee bald, and
poll thee ; enlarge thy baldness as

Is. 3—24. And it shall come to
pass, that instead of sweet smell
there shall be stink ; and instead
of a girdle a rent : and instead of
well set hair baldness; and in-
stead of a stomacher a girding of
sackcloth; and burning instead
of beauty, p. 440.

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.

Ps. 76—1 In Judah is God
known: his name is great in
Israel.
2 In Salem also is his tabernacle,
and his dwelluigplace in Zion.
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. Lu. 2. 4, p.
498.
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. 9—11 And I will make Jeru-
salem heaps, and a den of dragons:
and I will make the cities of
Judah desolate, without an in-
habitant. See 2 Ki. 21. 13, p. 238,
and Je. 25. 9, p. 464.
Jo. 3—20 Judah shall dwell for
ever, and Jerusalem from genera-
tion to generation, p. 72.
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.
So Judah was carried away out of
their land. See Lamentation of
Jeremiah over the fall of Jeru-
salem and the terrible sufferings
of the people. La. l, 2. 3, 4, and 5,

1 The constancy of the Jews in
captivity. 7 Tlie prophet curseth
Edom and Babel.
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.

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

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.

his son s .son, and Sarai his daugh-
ter in law, his son Abram"s wife ;
and they went foi-th with them
from Ur of the Chaldees, to go
into the land of Canaan.
Is. 8—1 Moreover the Lord said
unto me. Take thee a great roll,
and write in it with a man's pen
concerning Maher-shalal-h a s h-
baz.
2 And I took unto me faithful
witnesses to record, Uriah the
priest, and Zechariah.
3 And I went unto the prophet-
ess; and she conceived, and bare
a son. Then said the Lord to nie,
Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-
baz.
4 For before the child shall have
knowledge to cry. My father, and
my mother, the riches of Damas-
cus and the -spoil of Samaria shall
be taken away before the king of
Assyria.
Is. 17—1 The burden of Damas-
cus. Behold, Damascus is taken
away from being a city, and it
shall be a ruinous heap.
3 The fortress also shall cease
from Ephraim, and the kingdom
from Damascus, and the remnant
of Syria,
Je. 49—23 Concernmg Damascus.
Hamath is confounded, and Ar-

ings ; they are fainthearted ; there
is sorrow on the sea ; it cannot be
quiet.

Lot entertains two angels. 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. See also Matt. 2. 1

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.

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.

commandment against the mer-
chant city, to destroy the strong
holds thereof.
14 Howl, ye ships of Tarshish:

15 And it shall come to pass in
that day, that Tyre shall be for-
gotten seventy years, according

end of seventy years .shall Tyre

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.

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

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.
COMFORT, COMFORTERS.
CHASTISEMENT, COMMUNE.
Job. 16—1 Then Job said,
2 I have heard many such
things: miserable comforters are
ve all. p. 384.
Job. 21—34 How then comfort ye
me in vain, seeing in your answers
there remaineth falsehood, p. 385.
Ps. 69—20 I looked for some to
take pity, but there was none;
and for comforters, but I found
none.
Is. 40—1 Comfort ye, comfort ye
my people, saith yoiu' God. p. 470.
is. 61—2 To proclaim the accept-
able year of the Lord, and the day
of vengeance of our God ; to com-
fort all that mourn, p. 473.
Is. 66—13 As onewhom his mother
comforteth, so will I comfort you ;
and ye shall be comforted.
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.
Ps. 4 — 4 Stand in awe, and sin
not: commune with your own
heart upon your bed, and be still.
Ps. 77 — 6 I call to remembrance
my son^ in the night : I commune
with mine own heart: and my
spirit made diligent search.

Job. 21—17 How oft is the candle
of the wicked put out! and how
oft Cometh their destruction upon
them! God distributeth sorrows
in his anger.
Job. 18—6 The light shall be
dark in his tabernacle, and his
candle shall be put out with him.
Job. 29— -2 Oh that I were as in
the days when God preserved
me:
3 When his candle shined upon
my head, and when by his light
I walked through darkness, p.
386.
Ps. 18—28 For thou wilt light
my candle: the Lord my God
will enlighten my darkness.
Pro. 20—27 The spirit of man is
the candle of the Lord, searching
all the inward parts of the belly.
Pro. 24—20 For there shall be no
reward to the evil man ; the can-
dle of the wicked shall be put
out.
Pro. 31—18 She perceiveth that
her merchandise is good: her
candle goeth not out by night,
p. 209.
Mat. .5—15 Neither do men light
a caudle, and put it under a
bushel, but on a candlestick ; and
it giveth light unto all that are in
the house, p. 175.
Lu. 8 — 16 No man, when he hath
lighted a caudle, covereth it with
a vessel, or putteth it under a
bed; but setteth it on a candle-
stick, that they which enter in
may see the light, p. 535.
Re. 18—23 And the light of a
candle shall shine no more at all
in thee.
Re. 22—5 And there shall be no
night there; and they need no
caudle, neither light of the sun.

Ne. 2—2 Why is thy countenance
sad, seeing thou art not sick? this
is nothing else but sorrow of heart.
SS. 2—14 Let me see thy counte-

sweet is thy voice, and thy coun-
tenance is comely, p. 172.
Is. 3—9 The shew of then- coun-
tenance doth witness against
them.
Jiio. 8—9 They which heard it,
being convicted by their own
conscience, went out one by one,
beginning at the eldest, p. 437.
1 Co. 10—29 Conscience, I say,
not thine own, but of the other:
for why is my liberty judged of
another man's conscience?
Ac. 24 — 16 And herein do I ex-
ercise myself, to have always a
conscience void of offence toward
God, and toward men.
54
He. 13—18 Pray for us: for we
trust we have a good conscience,
in all things willing to live
honestly.
1 Ti. 4—2 Speaking lies in hy-
pocrisy; having then- conscience
seared with a hot ii'on.
Phi. 4—11 Not that I speak in
respect of want: for I have
learned, in whatsoever state I
am, therewith to be content.
He. 13. 5. p. 58.
1 Ti. 6—6 But godliness with
contentment is great gain.
7 For we brought nothing into
this world, and it is certain we
can carry nothing out.
8 And havmg food and raiment,
let us be therewith content.
Je. 6—13 For from the least of
them even unto the greatest of
them every one is given to covet-
ousness; and fi-om the prophet
even unto the priest every one
dealeth falsely.
Hab. 2—9 Woe to him that cov-
eteth an evil covetousness to his
house, that he may set his nest
on high.
Lu. 12—15 And he said unto
them, Take heed, and beware of
covetousness: for a man's life
consisteth not in the abundance
of the things which he possesseth.
Pro. 25—19 Confidence in an un-
faithful man in time of trouble is
like a broken tooth, and a foot
out of joint.
2 Co. 7—16 I rejoice therefore
that I have confidence in yon in
all thing.s.
He. 1(1—35 Cast not away there-
fore your confidence, which hath
great recompense of reward.
Pro. 1—26 I also will laugh at
your calamity; I will mock when
your fear cometh.
Pro. 6—15 Therefore shall his
calamity come suddenly; sud-
denly shall he be broken without
remedy.
Pi-o. 17—5 Whoso mocketh the
poor reproacheth his Maker: and
he that is glad at calamities shall
not be unpunished.
Pro. 24—22 For their calamity
shall rise suddenly; and who
knoweth the ruin of them both?
Job. .5—12 He disappointeth the
devices of the crafty, so that their
hands cannot perform their enter-
prise.
13 He taketh the wise in their
own craftiness: and the counsel
of the froward is carried head-
long.
Da. 8—25 And through his policy
also he shall cause craft to pros-
per in his hand. p. 395.
2 Co. 12—16 But be it so, I did
not burden you: nevertheless,
being crafty, I caught you with
guile.
Re. 18—22 And no craftsman, of
whatsoever craft he be, shall be
found any more in thee. p. 535.

came into Egypt to Joseph for to
buy corn; because that the fam-
ine was so sore in all lands, p.
349.
Ge. 42—1 Jacob said unto his
sons, I have heard that there is
corn in Egypt: get you down
thither, and buy for us.
3 And Joseph's ten bretlu-en
went down to buy corn in Egypt,
p. .349.
De. 23—25 When thou comest
into the standing corn of thy
neighbour, then thou mayest
pluck the ears with thine hand ;
but thou shalt not move a .sickle
unto thy neighbour's" standing
corn.
Ps. 78—24 And had rained down
manna to eat, and had given them
of the corn of heaven.
Pro. 11—26 He that withholdeth
com, the people shall curse him :
but blessing shall be upon the
head of him that selleth it.
Zee. 9—17 How great is his good-
ness, and his beauty! com shall
make the young men cheerful,
and new wine the maids, p. 483.
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.

rision • it containeth much. .
33 Thou shalt be filled with
drunkenness and sorrow, with the
cup of astoni-shnient and desola-
tion, with the cup of thy sister
Samaria.
Mat. 26—39 O my Father, if it be
possible, let this cup pass from
me: nevertheless, not as I will,

to every generation ?

lifted up mine eyes, and looked,
and behold a flying roll.
2 And he said unto me. What
seest thou? And I answered, I
see a flying roll; the length
thereof is twenty cubits, and 'the
breadth therof ten cubits.
3 Then said he unto me. This is
the curse that goeth forth over
the face of the whole earth • for
every one that stealeth shall be
cut off as on this side according
to it • and every one that swear-
eth shall be cut off as on that side
according to it. . , ,
4 I will bring it forth, saith the
Lord, and it shall enter into the
house of the thief, and into the
house of him that sweareth
falsely by my name: and it shall
remain in the midst of his house,
and shall consume it with the tim-
ber and the stones thereof, p. 454.
Je. 20—14 Cursed be the day
wherein I was bom: let not the
day wherein my mother bare me
he blessed.
15 Cursed be the man who
brought tidings to my father, say-
ing, A man child is bom unto
thee ; making him very glad.
16 And let that man be as the
cities which the Lord overthrew,
and repented not: and let him
hear the cry in the morning, and
the shouting at noontide ;
17 Because he slew me not from
the womb; or that my mother
might have been my grave.
18 Wherefore came I forth out
of the womb to see labour and
son-ow, that my days should be
consumed with shame ?

Ec. 12—1 Remember now thy
Creator in the days of tliy youth,
while the evil days come not, nor
the years draw nigh, when thou
shalt say, 1 have no pleasure in
them:
2 While the sun, or the light, or
the moon, or the stars, he not
darkened, nor the clouds retxrm
after the rain :
3 In the day when the keepers
of the house shall tremble, and the
strong men shall bow themselves,
and the grinders cease because
they are few, and those that look
out of tlie windows be darkened,
4 And the doors shall be shut in
the streets, when the sound of the
grinding is low, and he shall rise
up at the voice of the bird, and
all the daiighters of music shall
be brought low ;
5 Also when they shall be afraid
of that which is high, and fears
shall be in the way, and the al-
mond tree shall flourish, and the
grasshopper shall be a burden, and
esire shall fail: because man
goeth to his long home, and the
mourners go about the streets:
6 Or ever the silver cord be
loosed, or the golden bowl be
broken, or the pitcher be broken
at the fountain, or the wheel
broken at the cistern.
7 Then shall the dust retiu-n to
the earth as it was: and the spirit
shall return unto God who gave it.

est the height of the hill: though
thou shouldest make thy nest as
high as the eagle, I will bring thee
down from thence, saith the
Lord.
Is. 32—5 The vile person shall be
no more called liberal, nor the

needy speaketh right.

1 Chr. 21—1 And Satan stood up
against Israel, and provoked
David to number Lsrael. p. 3G3.
2 Chr. 11 — 15 And he ordained
him priests for the high places,
and for the devils, and for the
calves which he had made.
Christ fasted forty days and
forty nights, and was then
tempted by the Devil, etc.
Mat. 4^1 Then was Jesus led
up of the Spirit into the wilder-
ness to be tempted of the devil.
2 And when he had fasted forty
days and forty nights, he was
afterward a hungered.
3 And when the tempter came
to him, he said, If thou be the
Son of God, command that these
stones be made bread.
4 But he answered and said. 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.
De. 6—13 Thou shalt fear the
Lord thy God, and serve him,
and shalt swear by his name.)
11 Then the devil leaveth him,
and, behold, angels came and
ministered unto him.
Lu. 4—33 And in the synagogue
there was a man, which had a
spirit of an unclean devil, and
cried out with a loud voice,
34 Saying, Let tis alone; what
have we to do witjj thee, thou Je-
sus of Nazareth? art thou come to
destroy us? 1 know thoe who thou
art ; the Holy One of God.
35 And Jesus rebuked him, say-
ing. 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.
Lu. 9—49 And John answered
and said, Master, we saw one
casting out devils in thy name;
and we forbade him, because he
foUoweth not with us.
,50 And Jesus said unto him.
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.
Lord, even the devils are subject
unto us through thy name.
18 And he said unto them, I
beheld Satan as lightning fall
from heaven, p. 262.

Mat. 12—22 Then was brought
unto him one possessed with a
devil, blind, and dtimb: and he
healed him, insomuch that the
blind and dtunb both spake and
saw.
23 And all the people were
amazed, and said. 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.
Mat. 16—23 Get thee behind me,
Satan: for thou savotu-est not the
things that be of God, but those
that be of men. p. 508.

Mar. 5—2 There met him out of
the tombs a man with an unclean
spirit,
3 Who had his dwelling among
the tombs : and no man could
bind him, no, not with chains:
6 But when he saw Jesus afar
off. he ran and worshipped him.
7 And cried with a loud voice,
and said, What have I to do with
thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most
liigh God? 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. My name is Legion: for
we are many.
10 And he besought him much
that he would not send them
away out of the countiT-
11 Now there was there nigh
unto the mountains a gi'eat herd
of swine feeding.
12 And all the devils besought
him. saying, Send us into the
swine, that we may enter into
them.
13 And forthwith Jesus gave
them leave. And the unclean
spirits went out, and entered
into the swine; and the herd ran
violently down a steep place into
the sea, (they were about two
thousand.) and were choked in
the sea. Mat. 8. 28.
Mar. 7—25 For a certain woman,
whose young daughter had an un-
clean spirit, heard of him, and
came and fell at his feet :
26 The woman was a Greek, a
Syrophenician by nation ; and she
besought him that he would cast
forth the devil out of her daugh-
tcr.
27 But Jesus said unto her, Let
the children first be filled: tor it
is not meet to take the children's
bread, and to cast it unto the
dogs. , , . .,
28 And she answered and said
unto him. Yes, Lord ; yet the do^s
under the table eat of the chil-
dren's crumbs.
29 And he said unto her. For this
saving go thy way; the devil is
gone out of thy daughter.
30 And when she was come to
her house, she found the devil
gone out, and her daughter laid
upon the bed.

Re. 12—1 And there appeared a
great wonder in heaven ; a woman
clothed with the sun, and the
moon under her feet, and upon her
head a crown of twelve stars:
2 And she being with child
cried, travailing in birth, and
pained to be delivered.
3 And there appeared another
wonder in heaven; and behold a
great red dragon, having seven
heads and ten boms, and seven
crowns upon his heads.
D
4 And his tail drew the third
part of the stars of heaven, and
did cast them to the earth : and
the dragon stood before the
woman which was ready to be
delivered, for to devour her child
as soon as it was horn.
5 And she brought forth a man
child, who was to rule all nations
with a rod of iron: and her child
was caught up unto God, and to
his throne. ^ -, • ^ ^v.
6 And the woman fled into the
wilderness, where she hath a place
prepared of God, that they should
feed her there a thousand two
hundred and threescore days.
7 And there was war in heaven :
Michael and his angels fought
against the dragon ; and the
dragon fought and his angels.
8 And prevailed nof. neither
was their place fotmd any more
in heaven.
9 And the great dragon was cast
out, that old serpent, called the
Devil, and Satan, which deceiv-
eth the whole world : he was cast
out into the earth, and his angels
were cast out with him.
10 And I heard a loud voice say-
ing in heaven, Now isconie salva-
tion, and the kingdom of our God,
and the power of his Christ: for
the accuser of our brethren is cast
down, which accused them before
our God day and night.
11 And they overcame him by
the blood of the Lamb, and hy
the word of their testimony ; and
they loved not their lives unto
the death.
12 Therefore reioice, ye heavens,
and ye that dwell in them. 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.

YEAR OF RELEASE.

^^2 And this is the manner of the
release: Every creditor that lend-
eth aught unto his neighbour shall
release it : he shall not exact it of
his neighbour, or of W^ brother;

5 Only if thou carefully heark-
en unto the voice of the Lord thy
God, to observe to do all these
commandments which I com-
mand thee this day. p. 13.
Ne. 13—15 In those days saw I
(Nehemiah) in Judah some tread-
ing winepresses on the sabbath,
and bringing in sheaves, and lad-
ing asses; as also wine, grapes,
and figs, and all manner of bur-
dens, which they brought into
Jerusalem on the sabbath day:
and I testified agauist them in the
day wherein they sold victuals.
16 There dwelt men of Tyre also
therein, which brought fish, and
all manner of ware, and sold on
the sabbath unto the children of
Judah, and in Jerusalem.
17 Then I contended with the
nobles of Judah, and .said unto
them, What evil thing is this that
ye do, and profane the sabbath
day?
18 Did not your fathers thus,
and did not our God bring all this
evil upon us, and upon tliiscity?
yet ye bring more wrath upon
Israel by profanuig the sabbath.
19 And it came to pass, that when
the gates of Jerusalem began to
be dark before the sabbath, I com-
manded that the gates should be
shut, and charged that they
should not be opened till after the
sabbath: and some of my servants
set I at the gates, that there
should no burden be brought in
on the sabbath day.
20 So the merchants and sellers
of all kind of ware lodged with-
out Jerusalem once or twice.
21 Then I testified against
them, and said imto them. Why
lodge ye about the wall? If ye do
so agam, I will lay hands on you.
From that time forth came they
no more on the sabbath.
22 And I commandeth the Le-
vites, that they should cleanse
themselves, and that they should
come and keep the gates, to sanc-
tify the sabbath day. Remember
me, O my God, concerning this
also, and spare me accordmg to
the greatness of thy mercy.
Stoned to death for gathering
sticks on the sabbath day.
Nu. 1.5—32 And while the chil-
dren of Israel were in the wilder-
ness, they found a man that gath-
ered sticks upon the sabbath day.
69
33 And they that found him
gathering sticks brought him
unto Moses and Aai-on, and unto
all the congregation.
34 And tliey put him in ward,
because it was not declared what
should be done to him.
35 And the Lord said unto Mo-
ses, The man shall be surely put
to death: all the congregation
shall stone him with stones with-
out the camp.
36 And all the congregation
brought him without the camp,
and stoned him with stones, and
he died : as the Lord commanded
Moses.
Hezekiah's life lengthened fif-
teen years. See also Is. 38.
2 Ki 20—1 In those days was
Hezekiah sick unto death. And
the prophet Isaiah the son of
Amoz came to him, and said unto
him, Thus saith the Lord, Set
thine house in order; for thou
shalt die, and not live.
2 Then he turned his face to the
wall, and prayed imto the Lord,
saying,
3 I oeseech thee, O Lord, re-
member now how I have walked
before thee in truth and with a
perfect heart, and have done that
which is good in thy sight. And
Hezekiah wept sore.
4 And it came to pass, afore Isa-
iah was gone out into the middle
court, that the word of the Lord
came to him, saying,
5 Turn again, and tell Hezekiah
the captain of my people. Thus
saith the Lord, the God of David
thy father, I have heard thy pray-
er, I have seen thy tears: behold,
I will heal thee : on the third day
thou Shalt go up unto the house
of the Lord.
6 And I will add unto thy days
fifteen years; and I will deliver
thee and this city out of the hand
of the king of Assyria ; and I will
defend this city for mine own
sake, and for my servant David's
sake.
7 And Isaiah said. Take a lump
of figs. And they took and laid it
on the boil, and he recovei'ed.
8 H And Hezekiah said unto Isa-
iah, What shall be the sign that
the Lord will heal me, and that I
shall go up into the house of the
Lord the third day?
70
9 Aud Isaiah said.Thissigii shalt
thou have of the Lord, shall the
shadow go forward teu degrees,
or go back teu degreesl
10 And Hezekiah auswered. It
is a light thing for the shadow to
go dowu ten degrees: nay, but let
the shadow return backward ten
degrees. , . , ^ ,.i,„

LoKD : and he brought the shadow
ten degrees backward, by which
it had gone dowu m the dial oi

them; they shall be in pain as a
woman that travaileth : they shall

Cometh, ci'uel both with wrath

not give their light: the sun shall
be darkened in his going forth,
and the moon shall not cause her
light to shine.
11 And I will punish the world
for their evil, and the wicked for
their iniquity; and I will cause
the aiTogancy of the proud to
cease, and will lay low the haugh-
tiness of the terrible.

precious than fine gold; even a

and nothing shall escape them.
10 The earth shall quake before
them ; the heavens shall tremble :
the smi and the moon shall, be
dark, and the stars shall with-
draw their shining :
11 And the Lord shall utter his
voice before his army: for his
camp is very great: for he is
strong that executeth his word:
for the day of the Lord is great
and very terrible ; and who can
abide it? ^ , j v ^ ->

great things. ^, ^ t

in the midst of Israel, and that 1
am the Lord your God, and none
else: and my people shall never
be ashamed.
28 H And it shall come to pass
afterward, that I will pour out my
Spirit upon all flesh; and yoiir
sons and your daughters shall
prophesy, your old men shall
dream dreams, your young men
shall see visions:
29 And also upon the servants
and upon the handmaids in those
days will I pour out my Spirit. .

the heavens and in the earth,
blood, and fire, and pillars ol

darkness, and the moon into
bloodi before the great and the
terrible day of the Lord come.
32 And it shall come to pass, that

of the Lord shall be delivered:

Lord hath said, and in the rem-
nant whom the Lord shall call.
Zep. 1—14 The great day of the
Lord is near, it is near, and hast-
eth greatly, even the voice of the
day of the Lord : the mighty man
shall cry there bitterly.
15 That day is a day of wrath, a
day of trouble and distress, a day
of wasteness and desolation, a day
of darkness and gloominess, a day
of clouds and thick darkness,
16 A day of the trumpet and
alarm against the fenced cities,
and against the high towers.
17 And I wUlbrmg distress upon
men, that they shall walk like
blind men, because they have
sinned against the Lord: and
their blood shall be poured out as
dust, and their flesh as the dung.
18 Neither their silver nor their
gold shall be able to deliver them
in the day of the Lord s wrath ;
but the whole land shall be de-
voured by the fire of hisgealousy.
Jo. 3-1 For. behold, m those
days, and in that tune, when 1
shall brmg again the captivity of
Judali and Jerusalem,

and will bring them down into the
valley of Jehoshaphat, and will
plead with them there for my peo-
ple and for my heritage Israel,
whom they have scattered among
the nations, and parted my land.
3 And they have cast lots for my
people; and have given a boy. for
a harlot, and sold a girl for wme,
that they might drink.
9 U Proclaim ye this among the
Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up
the mighty men, let all the men
of war draw near.

14 Multitudes in the valley of
decision : for the day of the Lord
is near in the valley of decision.
15 The sun and the moon shau
be darkened, and the stars shan
withdraw their shining.
16 The Lord also shivll roar out
of Zion, and utter his voice from
Jerusalem ; and the heavens and
the earth shall shake.
17 So shall ye know that. I ani
the Lord your God dwelhng m
Zion, my holy mountain: then
shall Jerusalem be holy, and
there shall no strangers pass
through her anv niore. p. 216.

If there be a prophet among you,
I the Lord will make myself
known unto him in a vi.sion, and
will speak unto him in a dream,
p. 3.56.
De.l3— 1 If there arise among you
a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams,
and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
2 And the sign or the wonder
come to pass, whereof he spake
luito thee, saying. Let us go after
other gods, which thou hast not
known, and let us serve them ;
3 Thou shalt not hearken unto
the words of that prophet, or that
dreamer of dreams: tor the Lord
your God proveth you, to know
whether ye love the Lord your
God with all your heart and with
all your soul.
4 Ye shall walk after the Lord
your God, and fear him, and keep
his commandments, and obey his
voice, and ye shall serve him, and
cleave unto him.
5 And that prophet, or that
dreamer of dreams, shall be put to
death ; because he hath spoken to
turn you away from the Lord
your God, which brought you out
of the land of Egypt, and re-
deemed you out of the house of
bondage, to thrust thee out of the
v/ay which the Lord thy God
commanded thee to walk in. So
shalt thou put the evil away from
the midst of thee.
Job 33—14 For God speaketh
once, yea twice, yet man perceiv-
eth it not.

night, when deep sleep falleth up-

bed;
16 Then he openeth the ears of
men, and sealeth their instruction.
Job. 7—14 Then thou scarest me
with dreams, and terrihest me
through visions.
Ec. fr— 3 For a dream cometh
througk the multitude of busi-

7 For in the multitude of dreams
and many words there are also
divers vanities : but fear thou God.
Je. 23—28 The prophet that hath
a di'eam, let him tell a dream;
and he that hath my word, let
him speak my word faithfully.
What is the chaff to the wheat ?

that prophesy false dreams, saith
the Lord, and do tell them, and
cause my people to err by thek
lies. p. 227.

DEACONS.
1 Ti. 3—8 Likewise must the
deacons be grave, not double-
tongued, not given to much wine,
not greedy of filthy lucre;
9 Holding the mystery of the
faith in a pure conscience.
10 And let these also first be
proved; then let them use the
office of a deacon, being found
blameless.
11 Even so must their wives be
grave, not slanderers, sober, faith-
lul in all things.
12 Let the dieacons be the hus-
bands of one wife, ruling their
children and their own houses
well.
13 For they that have used the
olHce of a deacon well purchase
to themselves a good degree, and
great boldness in the faith which
is in Christ Jesus.

debts, as we forgive our debtors.
1 Ki. 4—25 And Judah and Israel
dwelt safely, every man under
his vine and under his tig tree,
from Dan even to Beer-sheba, all
the days of Solomon.
2 Ki. 9—20 And the driving is
like the driving of Jehu; for he
driveth furiously.
Ps. 21—11 For they intended evil
against thee: they imagined a
mischievous device, which they
are not able to perform.
Ps, 41—8 An evil disease, say
they, cleaveth fast unto him : and
now that he lieth he shall rise up

plished is sweet to the soul : but it

very treacherously.

days, when Felix came with his
wife Drusilla,which was a Jewess,

they, self-wiUed, they are not
afraid to speak evil of dignities.

The EARTH. According to the
Bible the earth was made by the
Lord, aud by him said to be " very
good " (Ge. 1. 31, p. 183). And yet
he cursed the same earth tliat he
had made (Ge. 3. 17, p. 184). " God
himself formed the earth and
made it; he created it not in
vain" (Is. 45. 18, p. 101). And Sol-
omon said, It was to abide for ever
(Ec. 1. 4, p. 115). But Peter said it
was to be burnt up (2 Pe. 3. 10, p.
115). And Isaiah tells us that we
are to have a new heaven and a
new earth. (Is. 66. 22, p. 114; and
Is. 65. 17-25, this page). Because
this earth is to fall and not rise
again (Is. 24. 20, this page). St.
John claims that in a vision he
saw the new heaven and the new
earth (Re. 21 and 22, p. 36, 37). See
also Ge. 8. 22, p. 187 ; Mat. 24. 35, p.
488; Land, p. 148; 1 Go. 15, p, 198;
Zep. 3. 8, p. 481; Is. 51. 6, p. 115;
Mi. 1. 3, 4, p. 101 ; Re. 7. 1, p. 268.
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.
9 And God said. Let the waters
under the heaven be gathered to-
gether unto one place, aud let the
dry land appear: and it was so.
10 And God called the dry land
Earth ; and the gathering together
of the waters called he Seas.
11 And God said. Let the earth
bring forth grass, the herb yield-
ing seed, and the fruit tree yield-
ing fruit after his kind upon the
earth : and it was so.
12 And the earth brought forth
grass, and herb yiekhng seed
after his kind, and the tree yield-
ing fruit, whose seed was in itself,
after his kind : and God saw that
it was good.
13 And the evening and the
morning were the third day.
1 Sa. 2—8 For the pillars of the
earth are the Lord's, and he hath
set the world upon them.
Job. 28— 5 As for the earth, out
of it Cometh bread : and under it
is turned up as it were fire.
6 The stones of it are the place
of sapphires: and it hath dust of
gold.
Job. 38 — i Where wast thou
when I laid the foundations of the
77 E
earth? declare, if thou hast un-
derstanding.
5 Who hath laid the measures
thereof, if thou knowest? or who
hath stretched the line upon it?
6 Whereupon are the founda-
tions thereof fastened? or who
laid the corner stone? p. 388.
Ps. 24—1 The earth is the Lord's,
and the fulne.ssthereof ; the world,
and they that dwell therein.
2 For he hath founded it upon
the seas, and established it upon
the floods.
Ps. 37— 9 Those thatwaitupon the
Lord, they shall inherit the earth.
Is. 24—1 Behold, the Lord mak-
eth the earth empty, and maketh
it waste, and turneth it upside
down, and scattereth abroad the
inhabitants thereof.
3 The land shall be utterly emp-
tied, and utterly spoiled: for the
Lord hath spoken this word.
4Theearthraournethand fadeth
away, the world languisheth and
fadeth away, the haughty peo-
ple of the earth do languish.
5 The earth also is defiled under
the inhabitants thereof; because
they have transgressed the laws,
changed the ordinance, broken
the everlasting covenant.
6 Therefore nath the curse de-
voured the earth, and they that
dwell therein are desolate : there-
fore the inhabitants of the earth
are burned, aud few men left.
18 For the windows from on
high are open, and the founda-
tions of the earth do shake.
19 The earth is utterly broken
down, the earth is clean dissolved,
the earth is moved exceedingly.
20 The earth shall reel to and
fro like a drunkard, and shall be
removed like a cottage ; and the
transgression thereof shall be
heavy upon it; and it shall fall,
and not rise again.
Is. 65—17 For. behold, I create
new heavens and a new earth:
and the former shall not be re-
membered, nor come into mind.
18 But be ye glad and rejoice for
ever in that which I create : for,
behold. I create Jerusalem a re-
joicing, and her people a joy.
19 And I will rejoice in Jerusa-
lem, and joy in my people: and
the voice of weeping shall, be no
more heard in her.
20 There shall be no more thence
an infant of days, nor an old man
that hath not tilled his days: for
the child shall die a hundred years
old ; but the sinner being a hun-
dred years old shall be accursed.
21 And they shall build houses,
and inhabit them ; and plant vine-
yards, and eat the fruit of them.
22 They shall not build, and an-
other 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.
23 They shall not labour ui vam,
nor bring forth for trouble ; for
they are the seed of the blessed ot
the Lord, and their oflsprmg
with them.
24 And it shall come to pass, that
before they call, I will, ant wer;
and while they are yet speakmg,
I will hear. , , , ^ i, n
25 The wolf and the lamb shall
feed together, and the lion shall
eat straw like the bullock: and
dust shall be the serpent's meat.
«They shall not hm-t nor destroy m
all my holy mountain, saith the
Lord. Is. 11. 6. p. 469.
Is. 48—13 Mine hand also hath
laid the foundation of the earth,
and my right hand hath spanned
the heavens: when I call unto
them, they stand up together. .
Ps. 102—25 Of old hast thou laid
the foundation of the earth: and
the heavens are the work of thy
hands. They shall perish, but
thou Shalt endui-e.

Lu. 5— '27 And he went forth, and
saw a publican, named Levi, sit-
ting at the receipt of custom : and
he said vmto him, Follow me.
28 And he left all, rose up. and
followed him.
29 And Levi made him a great
feast in his own house: and there
was a great company of publicans
and of others that sat down with
them. ., , TIT, ■
30 But their Scribes and Phari-
sees murmured against his disci-
ples, saying. Why do ye eat and
drink with publicans and smners.-'
31 And Jesus said unto them,
They that are whole need not a
physician ; but they that are sick.
32 I came not to call the right-
eous, but sinners to repentance.
33 And they said unto him. Why
do the disciples of John fast often,
and make prayers, and likewise
the disciples of the Pharisees; but
thine eat and drink?
34 And he said unto them, Can
ye make the children of the bride-
chamber fast, while the bride-
groom is with them?
35 But the days will come, when
the bridegroom shall be taken
away from them, and then shall
thev fast in those days.
Lii. 7—33 John the Baptist came
neither eating bread nor drinkmg

given you every herb bearmg seed,
which is upon the face of all the
earth, and every tree, in the which
is the fruit of a tree yielding seed ;
to you it shall be for meat.
30 And to every beast of the
earth, and to every fowl of the
air. and to every thing that creep-
eth upon the earth, wherein there
is life. I have given every green
herb for meat : and it was so. Ge.

Le. 7—22 And the Lord spake
imto Moses, saying,
23 Speak unto the children of
Israel, saying. Ye shall eat no
manner of fat, of ox, or of sheep,
or of goat.
24 And the fat of the heast that
dieth of itself, and the fat of that
which is torn with beasts, may be
used in any other use ; but ye shall
in no wise eat of it.
25 For whosoever eateth the fat
of the beast, of which men offer
an offering made by tire unto the
Lord, even the soul that eateth it
shall be cut off from his people.
26 Ye shall eat no manner of
blood, whether it be of fowl or
of beast, in any of your dwell-
ings.
27 Whatsoever soul it be that
eatelji any manner of blood, even
that soul shall be cut off from his
people.
Le. 11—2 These are the beasts
which ye shall eat among all the
beasts that are on the earth.
3 Whatsoever parteth the hoof,
and is clovenfooted,and cheweth
the cud, among the beasts, that
shall ye eat.
4 Nevertheless, these shall ye not
eat of them that chew the cud, or
of them that divide the hoof: as
the camel, because he cheweth
the cud, but divideth not the
hoof; he is unclean unto you.
5 And the coney, because he
cheweth the cud^ but divideth
not the hoof; he is unclean unto
you.
6 And the hare, because he chew-
eth the cud, but divideth not the
hoof ; he is unclean unto you.
7 And the swine, though he di-
vide the hoof, and be clovenfoot-
ed, yet he cheweth not the cud ;
he is unclean to you.
8 Of their flesh shall ye not eat,
and their carcass shall ye not
touch ; they are unclean to you.
9 These shall ye eat of all that
are in the waters: whatsoever
hath fins and scales in the waters,
m the seas, and in the rivers, them
shall ye eat.
10 And all that have not fins
and scales in the seas, and in the
rivers, of all that move in the wa-
ters, and of any living thing which
is in the waters, they shall be an
abomination unto you:
11 They shall be even an abom-
ination unto you ; ye shall not eat
of their flesh, but ye shall have
their carcasses in abomination.
12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor
scales in the waters, that shall be
an abomination unto you.
13 And these are they which ye
shall have in abomination among
the fowls; they shall not be eaten,
they are an abomination : the ea-
gle, and the ossifrage, and the
ospray,
14 And the vulture, and the kite
after hiskmd;
15 Every raven after his kind;
16 And the owl, and the night-
hawk, and the cuckoo, and the
hawk after his kind,
17 And the little owl, and the
cormorant, and the great owl,
18 And the swan, and the peli-
can, and the gier eagle,
19 And the stork, the heron
after her kind, and the lapwing,
and the bat.
20 All fowls that creep, going
upon all four, shall be an abomina-
tion unto you.
21 Yet these may ye eat of every
flying creeping thing that goeth
upon all foui', which have legs
above their feet, to leap withal
upon the earth ;
22 Even these of them ye may
eat ; the locust after his kind, and
the bald locxist after his kind, and
the beetle after his kind, and the
grasshopper after his kind.
23 But all other flying creeping
things,which have four feet, shall
be an abomination luito you.
24 And for these ye shall be un-
clean: whosoever toucheth the
carcass of them shall be uncleau
until the even.
25 And whosoever beareth aught
of the carcass of them shall wash
his clothes, and be unclean until
the even.
26 The carcasses of every beast
which divideth the hoof, and is
not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the
cud, are unclean unto you: every
one that toucheth them shall be
unclean.
27 And whatsoever goeth upon
his paws, among all manner of
beasts that go on all four, those
are unclean unto you: whoso
toucheth their carcass shall be
unclean until the even.
28 And he that beareth the car-
cass of them shall wash his clothes,,
and be unclean until the even:
they are unclean unto you.
E
29 These also shall be unclean
unto you among the creeping
things that creep upon the earth ;
the weasel, and the mouse, and
the tortoise after his kind,
30 And the ferret, and the cha-
meleon, and the lizard, and the
snailLand the mole.
31 These are unclean to you
among all that creep: whosoever
doth touch them, when they he
dead, shall he unclean until the
even.
41 And every creeping thing that
creepethupon the earth shall he an
abomination ; it shallnot be eaten.
42 Whatsoever goeth upon the
belly, and whatsoever goeth upon
all four, or whatsoever hath more
feet among all creeping things
that creep upon the earth, them
ye shall not eat; for they are an
abomination.
46 This is the law of the beasts,
and of the fowl, and of every liv-
ing creatui-e that moveth in the
waters, and of every creature that
creepeth upon the earth :
47 To make a difference between
the imclean and the clean, and
between the beast that may be
eaten and the beast that may not
be eaten.
De. 14—21 Ye shall not eat of any
thing that dieth of itself: thou
shalt give it unto the stranger that
is in thy gates, that he may eat it ;
or thou mayest sell it unto an
alien: for thou art a holy people
unto the Lord thy God. Thou
shalt not seethe a kid in his moth-
er's milk.
The children of Israel fed on
manna (the bread of heaven) and
quails forty years.
Ex. 16—1 And they took their
journey from Elim, and all the
congregation of the children of
Israel came unto the wilderness of
Sin, which is between Elim and
Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the
second month after their depart-
ing out of the land of Egypt.
2 And the whole congregation of
the children of Israel nmrmured
against Moses and Aaron in the
wilderness:
3 And the children of Israel said
unto them. Would to God we had
died by the hand of the Lord in
the land of Egypt, when we sat
by the flesh pots, and when we did
80 B
eat bread to the full ; for ye have
brought us forth into this wilder-
ness, to kill this whole assembly
with hunger.
4 Then said the Lord unto Mo-
ses, Behold, I will rain bread from
heaven for you; and tlie people
shall go out and gather a certain
rate every day, that I may prove
them, whether they will walk in
my law, or no.
5 And it shall come to pass, that
on the sixth day they shall prepare
that which they bruig in ; and it
shall be twice as much as they
gather daily.
(Ps. 105—40 The people asked, and
he brought quails, and satisfied
them with the bread of heaven.)
12 Speak unto them, saying. At
even ye shall eat flesh, and ih the
morning ye shall be filled with
bread; and ye shall know that I
am the Lord your God,
13 And it came to pass, that at
even the quails came up, and cov-
ered the camp : and in the morning
the dew lay roiind about the host.
14 And when the dew that lay
was gone up, behold, upon the
face of the wilderness there lay a
small round thing, as small as the
hoar frost on the ground.
15 And when the children of
Israel saw it, they said one to an-
other. It is manna: for they wist
not what it was. And Moses said
unto them, This is the bread which
the Lord hath given you to eat.
16 This is the thing which the
Lord hath commanded. Gather of
it every man according to his eat-
ing, an omer for every man, ac-
cording to the number of your
persons; take ye every man for
them which are in his tents.
17 And the children of Israel did
so, and gathered, some more, some
less.
18 And when they did mete it
with an omer, he that gathered
much had nothing over, and he
that gathered little had no lack ;
they gathered every man accord-
ing to his eating.
19 And Moses said. Let no man
leave of it till the morning.
20 Notwithstandingthey heark-
ened not unto Moses; but some of
them left of it until the morning,
and it bred worms, and stank:
and Moses was wroth with them.
B
21 And they gathered it every
morning, every man according to
his eating: and when the sun
waxed hot, it melted.
22 And it came to pass, that on
the sixth day they gathered twice
as much bi-ead, two omers for
one man: and all the rulers of
the congregation came and told
Moses.
23 And he said unto them, This
is that which the Lord hath said.
To morrow is the rest of the holy
sabbath unto the Lord: bake
that which ye will bake to day,
and seethe that ye will seethe;
and that which remaineth over
lay up for you to be kept until
the morning.
24 And they laid it up till the
morning, as Moses bade: and it
did not stink, neither was there
any worm therein.
25 And Moses said, Eat that to
day ; for to day is a sabbath unto
the Lord: to day ye shall not
find it in the field.
26 Six days ye shall gather it;
but on the seventh day, which is
the sabbath, in it there shall be
none.
31 And the house of Israel called
the name thereof Manna: and it
was like coriander seed, white;
and the taste of it was like wafers
made with honey.
32 And Moses said, This is the
thing which the Lord command-
eth. Fill an omer of it to be kept
for your generations; that they
may see the bread wherewith I
have fed you in the wilderness,
when I brought you forth from
the land of Egypt.
33 And Moses said unto Aaron,
Take a pot, and put an omer full
of manna therem, and lay it up
before the Lord, to be kept for
your generations. He. 9. 4, p. 49.
34 As the Lord commanded Mo-
ses, so Aaron laid it up before the
Testimony, to be kept.
35 And the children of Israel did
eat manna forty years, until they
came to a land mhabitated : they
did eat manna, until they came
mito the borders of the land of
Canaan. Jos. 5. 10-12, p. 169.
Nu. 11—4 And the mixed multi-
tude that was among them fell a
lusting: and the children of Is-
rael also wept again, and said.
Who shall give us flesh to eat?
81 E
5 We remember the fish, which
we did eat in Egypt freely; the
cucumbers, and the melons, and
the leeks, and the onions, and the
garlic :
6 But now oiir soul is dried
away: thei-e is nothing at all, be-
sides this manna, before our eyes.
7 And the manna was as corian-
der seed, and the colour thereof as
the colour of bdellium.
8 And the people went about,
and gathered it, and ground it in
mills, or beat it in a mortar, and
baked it in pans, and made cakes
of it: and the taste of it was as
the taste of fresh oil.
9 And when the dew fell upon
the camp in the night, the manna
fell upon it.
18 Say thou unto the people.
Sanctify yourselves against to
morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for
ye have wept in the ears of the
Lord, saying. Who shall give iis
flesh to eat? for it was well with
us in Egypt : therefore the Lord
will give you flesh, and ye shall
eat.
19 Ye shall not eat one day, nor
two days, nor five days, neither
ten days, nor twenty days ;
20 But even a whole month, un-
til it come out at your nostrils,
and it be loathsome unto yoxx: be-
cause that ye have despised the
Lord which is among you, and
have wept before him, saying,
Why came we forth out of Egypt?
21 And Moses said. The people,
among whom I am, are six hun-
dred thousand footmen; and thou
hast said, I will give them flesh,
that they may eat a whole
month.
22 Shall the flocks and the herds
be slain for them, to suffice them?
or shall all the fish of the sea be
gathered together for them, to
suffice them?
23 And the Lord said unto Mo-
ses, Is the Lord's hand waxed
short? thou shalt see now whether
my word shall come to pass unto
thee or not.
31 IT And there went forth a
wind from the Lord, and brought
quails from the sea, and let them
fall by the camp, as it were a day's
journey on this side, and as it were
a day's journey on the other side,
round about the camp, and as it
were two cubits high upon the
face of the earth.
B
82
32 And the people stood up all
that day, and all that night, and
all the uextday.and they gathered
the quails: he that gathered least
gathered ten homers: and they
spread them all abroad for them-
selves round about the camp.
33 And while the flesh was yet
between their teeth, ere it was
chewed, the wrath of the Lord
was kindled against the people,
and the Lord smote the people
with a very great plague.
34 And he called the name ot
that place Kibroth-hattaavah : be-
cause there they buried the people
that lusted. , . ^ •,
Ps. 78—24 And had rained down
mamia upon them to eat. and
had given them of the com ot
heaven. , , „ , ,
25 Man did eat angels food : he
sent them meat to the full. . r
26 He caused an east wind to
blow in the heaven: and by his
power he brought in the south
27 Herauied flesh also upon them
as dust, and feathered fowls like
as the sand of the sea :
28 And he let it fall in the midst
of their camp, round about their
habitations. , , ,
29 So they did eat, and were well
filled: for he gave them the ii- own
30 They were not estranged from
their lust: but while their meat
was yet in then- mouths,
31 The wTath of (iod came upon
them.and slew the fattest of them,
and smote down the chosen men
of Israel. , , , ^
Re. 2—17 He that hath an ear, let
him hear what the Spirit saith
mi to the churches; To him that
overcometh will I give to eat ot
the hidden manna, and will give
him a white stone, and in the
stone a new name written, which
no man knoweth savmg he that
receiveth it.
The children of Israel to eat the
flesh of their own sons and daugh-
ters, if they disobeyed the com-
mands of God. which they did;
and the curse came upon them.
See the following.
Le. 26—27 And if ye will not
hearken unto me, but walk con-
trary unto me:
28 'Then I will walk contrary
E
imto you also in fm-y ; and I, even
I, will chastise you seven tmies
for your sins, , ^ i <■
29 And ye shall eat the flesh of
your sons, and the flesh of your
daughters shall ye eat. p. 162.
Je. 19—9 And I will cause them
to eat the flesh of their sons and
the flesh of their daughters, and
they shall eat every one the flesh
of his friend hi the the sie^e and
straitness, wherewith their ene-
mies, and they that seek their
lives, shall straiten them.

God; This is Jerusalem.
9 And I will do in thee that
which I have not done, and where-
imto I will not do any more the
like, because of all thine abomi-
nations. , „ , . ,,
10 Therefore the fathers shall

11 Wlierefore, as I live, saith the
Lord God ; Sm-ely, because thou
hast defiled my sanctuary with ail
thy detestable things, and with
all thine abominations, therefore
will I also diminish thee ; neither

I have any pity.
12 A third part of thee shall
die with the pestilence, and with
famine shall they be consume^d.in
the midst of thee: and a third
part shall fall by the sword round
about thee; and I will scatter a
third part into all the winds, and
1 will draw out a sword alter
them. . ,
13 Thus shall mme anger be ac-
complished, and I will cause niy
fury to rest upon them, and 1
will be comforted: and they shall
know that I the Lord have spo-
ken it in my zeal, when I have ac-
complished my fm-y in them. See

passing by upon the wall, tliere
cried a woman unto him. saying,
Help, my lord, O king.
27 And he said, If the Lord do
not help thee, whence shall I help
thee ? out of the bai-nfioor, or out
of the winepress ?
28 And the king said unto her,
What aileth thee ? And she an-
swered,This woman said unto me.
Give thy son, that we may eat him
to day, and we will eat my son to
morrow.
29 So we boiled my son. and did
eat him : and I said imto her on the
next day,Give thy sou.thatwemay
eat him: and she hath hid her
son.
30 And when the king heard the
words of the woman, he rent his
clothes; and he passed by upon
the wall, and the people looked,
and, behold, he had sackcloth
within upon his flesh.

Lord came unto him, saying,

there to sustain thee.
10 So he arose and went to Za-
rephath. And when he came to

widow woman was there gather-
ing of sticks : and he called to her,
and said. Fetch me. I pray thee, a
little water in a vessel, that I may
drink.
11 And as she was going to fetch
it, he called to her. and said.
Bring me. 1 pray thee, a morsel of
bread in thine hand.
12 And she said, as the Lord thy
God liveth, I have not a cake, but
a handful of meal in a barrel, and
a little oil in a cruse : and, behold,
I am gathering two sticks, that I
may go in and dress it for me and
my son.that we may eat it, and die.
13 And Elijahsaid untoher.Fear
not ; go and do as thou hast said :
but make me thereof a little cake
first,and bring it unto m c.ai id after
make for thee and for thy son.
E
14 For thus saith the Lord God
of Israel, The barrel of meal shall
not waste, neither shall the cruse
of oil fail, until the day that the
Lord sendeth rain upon the earth.
15 And she went and did accord-
ing to the saying of Elijah: and
she, and he. and her house, did eat
many days.
16 And the barrel of meal wasted
not. neither did the cruse of oil
fail, according to the word of the

field to gather herbs, and gathered
wild gourds his lap full, and came
and shred them into the pot of
pottage : for they knew them not.
40 So they poui-ed out for the
men to eat. And, as they were
eating of the pottage, that they
cried out, and said, O thou man of
God, there is death in the pot.
And they could not eat thereof.
41 But lie said.Then bring meal.
And he cast it into the pot ; and
he said. Pour out for the people,
that they may eat. And there was
no harm in the pot.
42 And there came a man. and
brought the man of God bread,
twenty loaves of barley, and full
ears of corn in the husk. And he
said, Give unto the people, that
they may eat.
43 And his servitor said, Wliat,
should I set this before a hundred
men ? He said again. Give the
people, that they may eat: for
thus saith the Lord, They shall
eat, and shall leave thereof.
44 So he set it before them, and
they did eat, and left thereof.

eveniug, his disciples came to him,
saying, This is a desert place, and
the time is now past: send the
multitude away, that they may go
into the villages, and buy them-
selves victuals.
16 But Jesus said. They need not
depart ; give ye them to eat.
17 And they say. We have here
but five loaves, and two tishes.
19 And he commanded the mul-
titude to sit down on the grass,
and took the live loaves, and the
two tishes, and looking up to
heaven, he blessed, and brake, and
gave the loaves to his disciples,
and the disciples to the multitude.
20 And they did all eat, aud were
filled: and they took up of the
fragments that remained twelve
baskets full.
21 And they that had eaten were
about five thousand men, beside
women and children.
Mat. 15—32 Jesus called his dis-
ciples unto him, and said, I have
compassion on the multitiide, be-
cause they continue with me now
three days, and have nothing to
eat : and 1 will not send them away
fasting, lest they faint in the way.
33 And his disciples say luito
him. Whence should we have so
much bread in the wilderness, as
to fill so great a multitude?
34 And Jesus saith. How many
loaves have ye? And they said,
Seven, and a few little fishes.
35 And he commanded the mul-
titude to sit down on the ground.
36 And he took the seven loaves
and the fishes, and gave thanks,
and brake them, and gave to his
disciples, and the disciples to the
multitude.
37 And they did all eat, and were
filled: and they took up of the
broken meat that was left seven
baskets full.
38 And they that did eat were
four thousand men, beside women
and children.
Jno. 6—26 Jesus answered them
and said. Verily, I say unto you.
Ye seek me. not because ye saw
the miracles, but because ye did
eat of the loaves, and were filled.

Mat. 6—22 The light of the body

arated me from his people:
neither let the eunuch say, Be-
hold, 1 am a dry ti"ee.
4 For thus saith the Lord unto
the eunuchs that keep my sab-
baths, and choose the things that
please me, and take hold of my
covenant ;
5 Even unto them will I give in
mine house and within my walls
a place and a iiaiiie better than of
sons and of daughters: I will give
them an everlasting name, that
shall not be cut off.

that join themselves to the Lord,
to serve him, and to love the name
of the Lord, to be his servants,
every one that keepeth the sab-
bath from polluting it, and taketh
hold of my covenant ;
7 Them will I bring to my holy
mountain, and make them joyful
in my house of prayer: their burnt
offerings and sacrifices shall be
accepted upon mine altar; for
mine house shall be called a house
of prayer for all people.
8 The Lord God which gather-
eth the outcasts of Israel saith,
Yet will I gather others to him,

Mat. 19—12 There are some
eunuchs, which were so bom from
their mother's womb: and some
eunuchs, which were made eu-
nuchs of men: and there be
eunuchs, which have made them-
selves eunuchs for the kingdom
of heaven's sake. He that is
able to receive it, let him re-
ceive it.

FOOLS, FOLLY, FABLES. FOR-
NICATION. See also Ro. l. 24-32,
p. 439.
Ps. 14— i The fool hath said in
his heart. There is no God.
Ps. 53—1 The fool hath said in
his heart. There is no God.
Ps. 94—8 Understand, ye brutish
among the i>eople: and ye fools,
when will ve be wise?
Ps. 107—17 Fools, because of their
transgression, and becau.se of
their iniQuities. are afflicted.
Pro. 1—7 The fear of the Loei> is
the beginning of knowledge: but
fools despi.se wisdom and instruc-
tion. , ,
^2 The turning away of the sim-
ple sliall slay them, the prosperity
of fofjls shall destroy them.
Pro. 9—6 Forsake the foolish, and
live ; and go in the way of under-
standing.
Pro. 10—21 The lips of the right-
eous feed many : but fools die for
want of wisdom.
23 It is as sport to a fool to do
mischief: but a man of under-
standing hath wisdom.
Pro. 11—29 The fool shall be ser-
vant to the wise of heart.
Pro. 12—15 The way of a fool is
right in his own eyes: but he
that hearkeueth unto counsel is
wise.
16 A fool's wrath is presently
known : but a prudent man cover-
eth shame.
Pro. 15—5 A fool despiseth his
father's instruction: but he that
regardeth reproof is prudent.
14 The heart of him that hath un-
derstanding seeketh knowledge:
but the mouth of fools feedeth on
foolishness.
21 Folly is joy to him that is des-
titute of wisdom.
Pro. 17—7 Excellent speech be-
cometh not a fool: mucli less do
lying lips a prince.
10 A reproof entereth more into
a wise man than a hiiudred stripes
into a fool.
12 Let a bear robbed of her
whelps meet a man, rather than a
fool in his folly.
16 AVlierefore is there a price in
the hand of a fool to get wis-
dom, seeing he hath no heart to
it?
21 He that begetteth a fool doeth
it to his sorrow : and the father of
a fool hath no joy.
24 Wisdom is before him that
hath understanding ; but the eyes
of a fool are in the ends of the
earth.
28 Even a fool, when he holdeth
his peace, is counted wise.
Pro. 18—2 A fool hath no delight
in understanding, but that liis
heart may discover itself.
6 A fool's lips enter into conten-
tion, and his mouth calleth for
strokes.
7 A fool's mouth is his destruc-
tion, and his lips are the snare of
his soul.
Pro. 19—29 Judgments are pre-
pared for scomers, and stripes for
the back of fools.
Pro. 20—3 It is an honour for a
man to cease from strife: but
every fool will be meddling.
1 Sa. 26—21 Behold, I have played
92 P
the fool, and have erred exceed-
ingly.
Pro. 24— 7.'Wisdom is too high for
a fool: he openeth not his mouth
in the gate.
9 The thought of foolishness is
sin: and the scomer is an abom-
ination to men.
Pro. 26—1 As snow in summer,
and as rain in harvest, so honour
is not seemly for a fool.
3 A whip for the horse, a bridle
for the ass, and a rod for the fool's
back.
4 Answer not a fool according to
his f olly,lest thou also be like unto
him.
5 Answer a fool according to his
folly, lest he be wise in his own
conceit.
6 He that sendeth a message by
the hand of a fool cutteth off the
feet, and drinketh damage.
7 The legs of the lame are not
equal : so is a parable in the mouth
of fools.
8 As he that bindeth a stone in
a sling, so is he that giveth honour
to a fool.
9 As a thorn goeth up into the
hand of a drunkard, so is a parable
in the mouth of fools.
10 The great God that fomaed all
things both rewardeth the fool,
and rewardeth transgressors.
11 As a dog returneth to his
vomit, so a fool returneth to his
folly.
Pro. 27—3 A stone is heavy, and
the sand weighty; but a fool's
wrath is heavier than them both.
22 Though thou shouldest bray
a fool in a mortar among wheat
with a pestle, yet will not nis fool-
ishness depart from him.
Pro. 29—11 A fool uttereth all his
mind : but a wise man keepeth it
in till afterwards.
Ec. 5 — t AMien thou vowest a vow
unto God, defer not to pay it; for
he hath no pleasure in tools.
Ec. 7—5 It is better to hear the
rebuke of the wise, than for a man
to hear the song of fools.
6 For as the crackling of thorns
under a pot, so is the laughter of
the fool: this also is vanity.
Ec. lo— 1 Dead flies cause the
ointment of the apothecary to
send forth a stinking savoiir: so
doth a little folly him that is in
reputation forwisdom and honour.
2 A wise man's heart is at his
right hand; but a fool's heart at
his left.
p
93
3 Yea also, when he that is a
fool walketh by the way, his wis-
dom faileth him, and he saith to
every one that he is a fool.
6 Folly is set in great dignity,
and the rich sit in low place.
12 The words of a wise man's
mouth are gracious; but the lips
of a fool will swallow up himself.
13 The beginning of the words
of his moutn is foolishness: and
the end of his talk is mischievous
madness.
14 A fool also is full of words:
a man cannot tell wliat shall be;
and what shall be after him, who
can tell him?
15 The labour of the foolish
wearieth every one of them, be-
cause he knoweth not how to go
to the city.
1 Co. 4—10 We are fools for
Christ's sake, but ye are wise in
Christ; we are weak, but ye are
strong ; ye are honourable, but we
are despised.
2 Co. 11—16 I say again, Let no
man think me a fool ; if otherwise,
yet as a fool receive me, that I may
Doast myself a little.
I Ti. 4—7 But refuse profane and
old wives' fables, and exercise
thyself rather unto godliness.
Tit. 1—14 Not giving heed to
Jewish fables, and command-
ments of men, that turn from the
truth.
1 Co. 5—1 It is reported commonly
that there is fornication among
you, and such fornication as is not
so much as named among the Gen-
tiles, that one should have his
father's wife.
1 Co. 6—18 Flee fornication. Ev-
ery sin that a man doeth is with-
out the body ; but he thatcommit-
teth fornication simieth against
his O'WTi body.
Ep. 5—3 But fornication, and all
uncleanness, or covetousness, let
it not be once named among you,
as becometh saints.
FEAR, AFRAID, FIGHTING.
Ge. 15—1 The Lord came unto
Abram :in a vision, saying, Fear
not, Abram : I am thy shield, and
thy exceeding great reward.
2 Ki. 6—16 Fear not: for they
that be with us are more than
they that be with them.
Job 41—33 Upon earth there is
not his like, who is made without
fear. p. 401.
Ps. 53—5 There were they in
gi-eat fear, where no fear was.
Ps. 55—5 Fearfulness and trem-
bling are come upon me, and hor-
ror hath overwhelmed me.
Is. 41—10 Fear thou not ; for I am
with thee : be not dismayed ; for I
am thy God: I will strengthen
thee ; yea, I will help thee ; yea, I
will uphold thee with the right
hand of my righteousness.
Lu. 12—4 And I say unto you my
friends, Be not afraid of them that
kill the body, and after that have
no more that they can do.
5 But I will forewarn you whom
ye shall fear: Fear him, which
after he hath killed hath power to
cast into hell ; yea, I say unto you.
Fear him.
Jos. 1—9 Be strong and of a good
courage ; be not afraid, neither be
thou dismayed : for the Lord thy
God is with thee whithersoever
thou goest. p. 168.
Job 11—18 And thou shalt be se-
cure, because there is hope; and
thou .shalt take thy re.st in safety.
19 Also thou shalt lie down, and
none shall make thee afraid.
Ps. 3—6 I will not be afraid of
ten thousands of people, that have
set themselves agamst me.
Ps. 91—5 Thou shalt not be afraid
for tlie terror by night ; nor for the
arrow that tlieth by day ;
Pro. 3—24 When thou liest down,
thou shalt not be afraid : yea, thou
shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall
be sweet.
25 Be not afraid of sudden fear,
neither of the desolation of the
wicked.
Eze. 2—6 Son of man, be not
afraid of them, neither be afraid
of their words, though briers and
thorns be with thee, and thou dost
dwell among scorpions: be not
afraid of tlieii' words, nor be dis-
mayed at their looks, though they
be a rebellious house.
Ex. 21—12 He that smiteth a
man, so that he die, shall be
surely put to death.
13 And if a man lie not in wait,
but God deliver him into his
hand ; then I will appoint thee a
place whither he shall flee.
14 But if a man come presumpt-
uously upon his neignbour, to
slay him with guile ; thou shalt
take him from mine altar, that he
may die.
94
18 And if men strive togetlier,
and one smite anotlier with a
stone, or with his fist, and he die
not. but keepeth his bed :
19 If he rise again, and walk
abroad upon his staff, then shall
he that smote him be quit: only
he shall pay for the loss of his
time, and shall cause him to he
thoroughly healed.
20 And if a man smite his ser-
vant, or his maid, with a rod.
and he die under his hand; he
shall be surely punished.
21 Notwithstanding, if he con-
tinue a day or two, he shall not
be punished : for he is his money.
22 If men strive, and hurt a
woman with child, so that her
fruit depart from her, and yet
no mischief follow: he .*all be
surely punished, according as the
woman's husband will lay upon
him; and he shall pay as the
judges determine. . , . , , ,, ^
23 And if any mischief follow,
then thou shalt give life for lite.
De. 25—11 When men strive to-
gether one with another, and the
wife ol the one draweth near for
to deliver her husband. out of the
hand ol nun that smiteth him.
and putleth forth her hand, and
taketh him by the secrets:
12 Then thou shalt cut off her
hand, thine eye shall not pity her.
1 Ki. 20-11 The king of Israel
said. Tell him. Let not him that
girdeth on his harness boast him-
self as he that putteth it oft. p.

Pro. 3—30 Strive not with a man
without cause, if he have done
thee no harm. ^-i *
Pro 25—8 Go not forth hastily to
strive, lest thou know not what to

thou shalt be steadfast, and shalt
not fear. . . , , . .,

FAITH, Hope, and Charity,
Faithful, see Lu. 16. 10, p. 447 ; 1
Ti. 4. 1, p. 256.
Mat. 8—26 And Jesus saith unto
them. Why are ye fearful, O ye of
little faith? Then he arose, and re-
buked the winds and the sea; and
there was a great calm. Mar. 4. p.
^^Lu 17—5 And the apostles said
unto the Lord. Increase our faith.
6 And the Lord said. If ye had
faith as a grain of mustard seed,
ye might say unto this sycamine
tree. Be thou plucked up by the
root, and be thou planted in the
sea; and it should obey you. bee
Mat. 17.20, Mar. 11.22, p. 216. .
Ro 14—1 Him that is weak m
the faith receive ye, but not to
doubtful disputations.
22 Hast thou faith? have it to
thyself before God. Happy is he
that condemneth not himself in
that thing which he alloweth.
2 Co. 13-5 Examine yourselves,
whether ye be in the faith.
2 Ti. 1-5 When I call to remem-
brance the unfeigned faith that is
in thee, which dwelt first in tliy
grandmother Lois, and thy
mother Eunice; and I am per-
suaded that in thee also.
97
1 Co. 16— 13 Watch ye, stand fast
in the faith, quit you like men,
be strong. Let all your things be
done with charity.
2 Co. 5—7 For we walk by faith,
not by sight.
Ep. 2—8 For by grace are ye
saved through faith ; and that not
of yourselves: it is the gift of
God.
1 Ti. 6—12 Fight the good fight
of faith, lay hold on eternal life.
He. 10—23 Let us hold fa,st the
profession of our faith without
wavering, p. 199.
Ja. 2—14 What doth it profit, my
brethren, though a man say he
hath faith, and have not works?
can faith save him? p. 14.
18 Yea, a man may say. Thou
hast faith, and I have works:
shew me thy faith without thy
works, and I will shew thee my
faith by my works.
20 But wilt thou know, O vain
man, that faith without works is
dead?
24 Ye see then how that by
works a man is justified, and not
by faith only.
26 For as the body without the
spirit is dead, so faith without
works is dead also.
2 Pe. 1—5 Add to your faith vir-
tue ; and to virtue, knowledge ;
6 And to knowledge, temper-
ance; and to temperance, pa-
tience; and to patience, godli-
ness;
7 And to godliness, brotherly
kindness; and to brotherly kind-
ness, charity.
8 For if these things be in you,
and abound, they make you that
ye shall neither be barren nor un-
fruitful in the knowledge of our
Lord .Jesus Christ.
Ro.5— 1 Therefore being justified
by faith, we have peace with God
through our Lord Jesus Christ :
2 By whom also we have access
by faith into this ^race wherein
we stand, and rejoice in hope of
the glory of God.
3 And not only so, but we glory
in tribulations also; knowingthat
tribulation worketh patience ;
4 And patience, experience ; and
experience, hope:
5 And hope maketh not asham-
ed ; because the loveof God is shed
abroad in our hearts by the Holy
Ghost which is given unto us.
Job 6—11 What is my strength.
that I should hope? and what is
mine end, that 1 should prolong
my life?
20 They were confounded be-
cause they had hoped ; they came
thither, and were ashamed.
Job 17—15 And where is now my
hope? as for my hope, who shall
see it?
Job 19—10 He hath destroyed me
on every side, and I am gone:
and mine hope hath he removed
like a tree. p. 385.
Pro. 13—12 Hope deferred mak-
eth the heart sick : but when the
desire cometh, it is a tree of life.
Ro. 8—24 For we are saved by
hope : but hope that is seen is not
hope : for what a man seeth, why
doth he yet hope for?
25 But if we hope for that we
see not, then do we with patience
wait for it.
Ro. 12—12 Rejoicing iu hope;
patient in tribulation; continuing
instant in prayer.
1 Co. 9—10 He that plougheth
should plough in hope: and that
he that thresheth in hope should
be partaker of his hope.
2 Co. 1—7 And our hope of you
is steadfast, knowing, tnat as ye
are partakers of the sufferings,
so shall ye be also of the consola-
tion.
Gal. 5—5 For we through the
Spirit wait for the hope of right-
eousness by faith.
1 Co. 13—1 Though I speak with
the tongues of men and of angels,
and have not charity, I am be-
come as sounding brass, or a tink-
ling cymbal.
2 And though I have the gift
of prophecy, and understand all
mysteries, and allknowledge ; and
though I have all faith, so that I
could remove mountains, and
have not charity, I am nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my
Foods to feed the poor, and though
give my body to be burned, and
have not charity, it profiteth me
nothing.
4 Charity suffereth long, and is
kind; charity euvieth not; char-
ity vamiteth not itself, is not
puffed up.
8 Charity never faileth; but
whether there be prophecies, they
shall fail; whether there be
tongues.they shall cease ; whether
there be knowledge, it shall van-
ish away.
p
13 And now abideth faith, hope,
charity, these three; .but the
greatest of these is chanty.
1 Co. 14—1 Follow after chanty,
and desire spiritual gifts.
Col. 3—14 And above all these
things put on charity, which is the
bondof perfectness. „ ,, .
1 Pe. 4—8 And aboye all things
have fervent charity among your-
selves: for charity shall cover tlie
multitude of sins.

exact all your labours,
4 Behold, ye fast for strife and
debate, and to smite with the hst
of wickedness: ye shall not fast
as ye do this day, to make your
voice to be heard on high.
5 Is it such a fast that I have
chosen? a day for a man to afflict
his soul? is it to bow down hi.s
head as a bulrush, and to spreact
sackcloth and ashes under him .■'
wilt thou call this a fast, and an
acceptable day to the Lord;'
6 Is not this the fast that I have
chosen? to loose the bands of
wickedness, to undo the heavy
burdens, and to let the oppressed
go free, and that ye break every
7 Is it not to deal thy bread to
the hungry, and that thou briiig
the poor that are cast out to thy
house? when thou seest the nar-
ked, that thou cover him ; and
that thou hide not thyself from
thine own flesh? t r. ■^^
Da. 10—2 In those days I Daniel

self at all, till three whole weeks

them all to take, meat, saying.
This day is the fourteenth day

98 B-
Mat. 6—16 When ye fast, be nbt,
as the hypocrites, of a sad counte-
nance: for they disfigure then-
faces, that they may appear unto
men to fast. Verily I say unto
vou. They have their reward. .
' 17 But when thou fastest, anoint
thine head, and wash thy face ;
18 That thou appear not unto
men to fast, but unto thy Father
which is in secret: and thy Fath-
er which seeth in secret shall re-
ward thee openly.

Pro.4— '>6 Ponder the path of thy
feet, and let all thy ways be estab-
lished. Tm-u not to the right hand
nor to the left: remove thy foot
from evil.
Pro. 25—17 Withdraw thy foot
from thy neigrhbour's house ; lest
he be weary of thee, and so hate
thee.
Ec. 5—1 Keep thy foot when thou
goest to the house of God, and be
more ready to hear, than to give
the sacrifice of fools.
J no. 13-4 Jesus riseth from sup-
per, and laid aside his garments;
and took a towel, and girded him-
self.
5 After that he poureth water
into a basin, and began to wash
the disciples' feet, and to wipe
them with the towel.
6 Then couieth he to Simon Pe-
ter: and Peter saith unto him.
Lord, dost thou wash my feet ?
7 Jesus answered and said,What
I do thou knowest not now; but
thou Shalt know hereafter.
8 Peter saith unto him, Thou
Shalt never wa.sh my feet. Jesus
answered him. If I wash thee not,
thou hast no part with me.
9 Simon Peter saith unto him.
Lord, not my feet only, but also
my hands and my head.
10 Jesus saith, He that is washed
needeth not save to wash his feet,
but is clean every whit: and ye
are clean, but not all.
11 For he knew who ."should be-
tray him; therefore said he, Ye
are not all clean.
12 So after he had washed then-
feet, and had taken his garments,
and was set do«ni again, he said
unto them. Know ye what I have
done to you '?
13 Ye call me Master and Lord:
and ye say well ; for so I am.
14 If I then, your Lord and Mas-
ter.have washed your feet ; ye also
ought to wash one another's feet.
15 For I have given you an ex-
ample, that ye should do as I have
done to you.
IG Verily, verily, I say unto you.

GOD, LORD GOD. The God of
the Hebrews only, and of those
strangers who may become He-
brews (Ge. 17. 10-14, p. 52; Ex. 12.
48, p. 1.58. See also those who may
or may not enter into the congre-
gation of the Lord, De. 23, 1-8).
This is according to the old Bible,
or Jewish history. According to
the words of Jesus Christ, the son
of Mary, in the new Bible, God will
be the God of all who will believe
on him. Jesus Christ, see Mat.

175. As to who God is, or where he
came from, or who created him
(and we are taught that all things
were created by a Creator), we
know nothuig about him. We do
not know that such a being ever
did exist, and surely we have no
proof of it. All we do know is
what we have learned from the
doubtful Biblical statements of
the Jewish writers. Isaiah said,
"Before me there was no God
formed, neither shall there be
after me " (Is. 43. 10, p. lOl). So ac-
cording to this there was a time
when no God existed, and a time
to come when no God will exist.
But Moses tells us in Ps. 90. 2, p.
102, "Even from everlasting to
everlasting thou art God." For the
hrst mention of God see Ge. 1, p.
65; Kingdom of God, p. 142.
Ex. 20—3 Thou Shalt have no
other gods before me. p. 46.
Ex.34— 14 Thou Shalt worship no
other god: for the Lord, whose
uanie is Jealous, is a jealous God.
De. 4—24 The Lord thy God is a
consuming tire, a jealous God.
39 The Lord he is God in heaven
above, and upon the earth be-
neath: there is none else. See De.
13. 16-18.
De. 17—2 If there be found
among you, man or woman, that
3 Hath gone and served other
gods, and worshipped them, either
the sun, or moon, or any of the
host of heaven, which I have not
commanded ;
4 And it be told thee, and thou
hast heard of it, and inquired dili-
gently, and, behold, it be true, and
the thing certain, that such abom-
ination is wrought in Israel:
5 Then shalt thou bring forth

that man or woman, which have
committed that wicked thing,
unto thy gates, and shalt stone
them with stones, till they die.
De. 7—9 Know therefore that the
Lord thy God, he is God, the
faithful God, which keepeth cov-
enant and mercy with them that
love him and keep his command-
ments to a thousand generations.
De. 10—17 For the Lord your God
is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a
great God, a mighty, and a terri-
ble, which regardeth not persons,
nor taketli reward.
20 Thou shalt fear the Lord thy
God; him shalt thou serve, and to
him shalt thou cleave, ana swear
by his name.
De. 32—39 I, even I, am he, and
there is no god with me : I kill, and
I make alive ; I wound, and I heal :
neither is there any that can de-
liver out of my hand.
40 For I lift up my hand to
heaven, and say, I live for ever.
41 If I whet my glittering sword,
and mine hand take hold on judg-
ment ; I Will render vengeance to
mine enemies, and will reward
them that hate me.
42 I will make mine arrows
drunk with blood, and my sword
shall devour flesh ; and that with
the blood of the slain and of the
captives, from the beginning of
revenges upon the enemy.
Is. 33—22 For the Lord is our
judge, the Lord is our lawgiver,
the Lord is our King; he will
save us.
Is. 49—23 And thou shalt know
that I am the Lord : for they shall
not be ashamed that wait for me.
Is. 46, p. 279.
Is. 40—12 Who hath measured
the waters in the hollow of his
hand, and meted out heaven with
the span, and comprehended the
dust of the earth in a measure,
and weighed the mountains in
scales, and tlie hills in a balance?
13 Who hath directed the Spirit
of the Lord, or being his counsel-
lor hath taught him ?
Is. 43—3 For I am the Lord thy
God, the Holy One of Israel, thy
Saviour.
10 Ye are my witnesses, saith
the Lord, and my servant whom
I have chosen ; that ye may know
and believe me, and luiderstand
that I am he : before me there was
no God formed, neither shall
there be after me.
11 I, even I, am the Lord ; and
beside me there is no saviour.
12 I have saved, and I have
shewed, when there was no
strange god among you : therefore
ye are my witnesses, saith the
Lord, that I am God.
13 Yea, before the day was I am
he ; and there is none that can de-
liver out of my hand : I will work,
and who shall let it?
15 I am the Lord, your Holy
One, the Creator of Israel, your
King.
Is. 44—6 Thus saith the Lord the
King of Israel, and his Redeemer
the Lord of hosts ; I am the first,
and I am the last; and besides me
there is no God.
8 Is there a God besides me? yea,
there is no God ; I know not any.
Is. 45—6 That they may know
from the rising of the sun, and
from the west, that there is none
besides me. I am the Lord, and
there is none else.
8 Drop down, ye heavens, ftom
above, and let the skies pour down
righteousness : let the earth open,
and let them bring forth salvation,
and let righteousness spring up to-
gether; I the Lord have created
It.
9 Woe unto him that striveth
with his Maker!
12 I have made the earth, and
created man upon it: I nave
stretched out the heavens, and all
their host have I commanded.
18 For thus saith the Lord that
created the heavens; God himself
that formed the earth and made
it ; he hath established it, he cre-
ated it not in vain, he formed it to
be inhabited : I am the Lord, and
there is none else. p. 400.
Ps. 9—7 The Lord shall endure
for ever: he hath prepared his
throne for judgment.
8 And he shall judge the world
in righteousness, he shall minister
judgment to the people in up-
rightness.
9 The Lord also will be a refuge
for the oppressed, a refuge in
times of trouble.
Mi. 1—3 For the Lord cometh
forth out of his place, and will
come down, and tread upon the
high places of the earth.
4 And the momitains shall be

fire, and as the waters that are
poured down a steep place.

Immble, and to revive the heart of

Is.59— 16 He sawthat there was no
man, and wondered that there was
no intercessor: therefore his arm
brought salvation vOito him; and
his righteousness,it sustainedhim.
17 For he put on righteousness as
a breastplate, and a helmet of sal-
vation upon his head ; and he put
on the garments of vengeance for
clothing, and was clad with zeal
as a cloak. ,.-,-,
18 According to their deeds, ac-
corduigly he will repay, fury to
his adversaries, recompense to his
enemies.
19 So shall they fear the name of
the Lord from the west, and his
glorv from the rising of the sun.
When the enemy shall come in

shall lift up a standard against
him. p. 473.

Is. 30—27 Behold, the name of the
Lord cometh from far. bunimg
with his anger, and the burden
thereof is heavy: his lips are full
of indignation, and his tongue as
a devouring fire :
28 And his breath, as an over-
flowing stream, shall reach to the
midst of the neck, to sift the na-
tions with the sieve of vanity : and
there shall be a bridle in the jaws
of the people, causing them to err.
30 And the Lord shall cause his
glorious voice to be heard, and
shall shew the lighting domi of
his arm, with the indignation ot
his auger, and with the flame of a
devouring fire, with scattermg,
and tempest, and hailstones.
Is. 42—13 The Lord shal 1 go forth
as a mighty man. he shall stir up
jealousy like a man of war: he
shall cry, yea, roar; he shall pre-
vail against his enemies.
Is. 63—10 They rebelled, and
vexed his Holy Spirit: therefore
he was turned to be their enemy,
and he fought against them.

near the Lord: but they shall not
come nigh; neither shall the
people go up with him.

as it were a paved work of a sap-

children of Israel he laid not his
hand : also they saw God, and did
eat and drink. Continued on p. 46.

thee, if I have fomid grace in thy

thou hast spoken: for thou hast
found grace ui my sight, and 1
know thee by name.

shew me thy glory. .,, . .,

my goodness pass before thee, and
I will proclaim the name of the
Lord before thee ; and will be
gracious to whom I will be gra-

20 And he said. Thou canst not
see my face : for there shall no

Shalt stand upon a rock :

21 And there came forth a spirit,
and stood before the Lokd, and
said, I will persuade him.
22 And the Lord said unto him.
Wherewith? And he said, I will
go forth, and I will he a lying
spirit in the mouth of all his
prophets. And he said, Thou shalt
persuade him, and prevail also:
go forth, and do so.
23 Now therefore, behold, the
Lord hath put a lying spirit in

evil concerning thee.

Is. 6—1 In the year that king
Uzziah died I saw also the Lord
sitting upon a throne, high and
lifted up, and his train filled the
temple.
2 Above it stood the seraphim :
each one had six wings; with
twain he covered his face, and
with twain he covered his feet,
and with twain he did fly.
3 And one cried unto another,
and said. Holy, holy, holy, is the
Lord of hosts: the whole earth
is full of his glory.
4 And thCpostsofthedoor moved
at the voice of him that cried, and
the house was filled with smoke.
5 Then said I, Woe is me ! for I
am undone; because I am a man
of unclean lips, and I dwell in the
midst of a people of miclean lips:
for mine eyes have seen the King,
the Lord of hosts.
Am. 9—1 1 saw the Lord standing
upon the altar: and he said. Smite
the lintel of the door, that the
posts may shake: and cut them
in the head, all of them ; and I will
slay the last of them with the
sword : he that fleeth of them shall
not flee away, and he that escap-
eth of'them shall not be delivered.
2 Though they dig into hell,
thence'shall mine hand take them ;
though they climb up to heaven,
thence will I bring them down:
3 And though tliey hide them-
selves in the top of Carinel, I will
search and take them out thence ;
and though they be hid from niv
sight in the bottom of the sea, I
thence will I command the ser-
pent, and he shall bite them:
4 And though they go into cap-
tivity before their enemies.thence
will I command the sword, and it
shall slay them: and I will set
mine eyes upon them for evil, and
not for good.
Ac. 7—55 But he, being full of
the Holy Ghost, looked up stead-
fastly into heaven, and saw the
glory of (ifod, and Jesus standing
on the right hand of God,
56 And said. Behold, I see the
heavens opened, and the Son of
man standing on the right hand
of God.
57 Then they cried out with a
loud voice, and stopped their ears,
and ran upon him with one ac-
cord,
58 And cast him out of the city,
andstonedhim: and thewitnesses
laid down their clothes at a young
man's feet, whose name was Saul.
59 And they stoned Stephen,
calling upon God, and saying.
Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
60 And he kneeled down, and
cried with a loud voice. Lord, lay
not this sin to their charge. And
when he had said this, he fell
asleep.
Juo. 1—18 No man hath seen God
at any time; the only begotten
Son, which is in the bosom of

borne witness of me. Ye have

time, nor seen his shape.
De. 4—12 And the Lord spake un-
to you out of the midst of the fire :
ye heard the voice of the words,

voice of God speaking out of the
midst of the fire, as thou hast
heard, and livQ?
36 Out of heaven he made thee
to hear his voice, that he might
instruct thee: and upon earth he
shewed thee his great fire; and

midst of the fire. See Ex. 19 and

Jno. 10—31 Jesus answered them,
Is it not written in your law, I
said, Ye are gods ?
.35 If he called them gods, unto
whom the word of God came, and
the Scripture cannot be broken ;
36 Say ye of him, whom the Fa-
ther hath sanctified, and sent into
the world, Thou blasphemest ; be-
cause I said, I am the Son of God ?
Ps. 138—1 I will praise thee with
my whole heart : before the gods
will I sing praise imto thee.

and one Lord Jesus Christ.

Ex. 23—8 IT And thou shalt take
no gift: for the gift blindeth the

of camel's hair, and a leathern
girdle about his loins: and his
meat was locusts and wild honey,

Mat. 11—8 What went ye out for
to see? A man clothed in soft rai-
ment? behold, they that wear soft
clothing are in king's houses,
p. 502.
Mat. 5 — 10 And if any man will
sue thee at the law, and take away
thy coat, let him have thy cloak
also.
Mat. 6—28 Why take ye thought
for raiment? Consider the lilies
of the held, how they grow ; they
toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And yet I say unto you. That
even Solomon in all his glory was
not arrayed like one of these.
30 Wherefore, if God so clothe
the grass of the field, which to
day is, and to morrow is cast into
the oven, shall he not much more
clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought,
saying. What shall we eat? or.
What shall we drmk? or, Where-
withal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do
the Gentiles seek:) for your heav-
enly Father knoweth that ye
have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the king-
dom of God, and his righteous-
ness- and all these things shall
be added unto you.

lofty are their eyes! and then-
eyelids are lifted up,

teeth are as swords, and their jaw
teeth as knives, to devour the
poor from off the earth, and the
needy from among men.

Pro. 30—16 The grave ; and the

tire that saith not. It is enough.
Ec. 9—10 Wliatsoever thy hand

for there is no work, nor device,

com blasted before it be grown

thereof is as the flower of the
field:
7 The grass withereth, the flower

Lord bloweth upon it : surely the

created the heaven and the earth.

firmament in the midst of the wa-
ters, and let it divide the waters
ti-om the waters.
7 And God made the firmament,
and divided the waters which
were under the firmament trom
the waters which were above the
firmament: and it was so.
8 And God called the firmament
Heaven. And the evening and the
mornuig were the second day.

of this one thing, that one day is
with the Lord as a thousand years,
and a thousand years as one day.
10 But the day of the Lord
will come as a thief in the
night; in the which the heavens
shall pass away with a great noise,
and the elements shall melt with
fervent heat, the earth also and
the works that are therein shall
be burned up.

the coming of the day of God,
wherein the heavens being on
fire shall be dissolved, and the

heat?

streets of Jerusalem: for then
had we plenty of victuals, and
were well, and saw no evil.

Mat. 13—31 Another parable put
he forth unto them, saying, The
kingdom of heaven is like to a
gram of mustard seed, which a
man took, and sewed in his field:
32 Which indeed is the least of
all seeds: but when it is grown, it
is the greatest among herbs, and
becometh a tree, so that the birds
of the air come and lodge in the
branches thereof.
33 Another parable spake he
unto them; The kingdom of
heaven is like unto leaven, which
a woman took, and hid in three
measures of meal, till the whole
was leavened.
44 Agam, the kingdom of heav-
en is like unto treasure hid in a
field ; the which when a man hath
found, he hideth, and for joy
thereof goeth and selleth all that
he hath, and buyeth that field.
45 Again, the kingdom of heav-
en is like mito a merchantman,
seeking goodly pearls:
46 Who, when lie had foimd one
peai-1 of gi-eat price, went and sold
all that he had, and bought it.
47 Again, the kingdom of heav-
en is like unto a net, that was
cast into the sea, aud gathered of
every kind:
116
48 "Which, when it was full, they
drew to shore, and sat down, and
gathered the good into vessels,
but cast the bad away.

Shalt bind on earth shall be bound

BOTTOMLESS PIT.
Re. 9-1 And the fifth angel
sounded, and I saw a star fall from
heaven vmto the earth: and to
him was given the key of the bot-
tomless pit.
119
2 And lie opened the bottomless
pit; and there arose a smoke out
of the pit, as tlie smoke of a great
furnace ; and tlie sun and the air
were darkened by reason of the
smoke of the pit.
3 And there came out of the
smoke locusts upon the earth:
and unto them was given power,
as the scorpions of the earth have
power.
4 And it was commanded them
that they should not hurt the
grass of the earth, neither any
green thing, neither any tree ; but
only those men which have not
the seal of God in their foreheads.
5 And to them it was given that
they should not kill them, but
that they should be tormented
live months: and their torment
was as the torment of a scorpion,
when he striketh a man.
6 And m those days shall men
seek death, and shall not find it;
and shall desire to die, and death
shall flee from them.
7 And the shapes of the locusts
were like luito horses prepared
unto battle; and on their heads
were as it were crowns like gold,
and their faces were as the faces
of men.
8 And they had hair as the hair
of women, and their teeth were
as the teeth of lions.
9 And they had breastplates, as
it were breastplates of iron; and
the sound of their wings was as
the .sound of chariots of many
horses running to battle.
10 And they had tails like unto
scorpions, and there were stings
in their tails: and their power
was to hurt men five months.
11 And they had a king over
them, which is the angel of the
bottomless pit, whose name in the
Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but
in the Greek tongue hath his
name Apollyon.
12 One woe is past; and, behold,
there come two woes more here-
after.
13 And the sixth angel sounded,
and I heard a voice from the four
horns of the golden altar which is
before God,
14 Sayuig to the sixth angel
which had the trumpet. Loose the
four angels which are bound in
the great river Euphrates.
15 And the four angels were
loo.sed. which were prepared for
an hour, and a day, and a montb,
and a year, for to slay the third
part of men.
16 And the number of the army
of the horsemen were two hun-
dred thousand thousand: and I
heard the number of them.
17 And thus I saw the horses in
the vision, and them that sat on
them, having breastplates of fire,
and of jacinth, and brimstone:
and the heads of the horses were
as the heads of lions; and out of
their mouths issued fire and
smoke and brimstone.
18 By these three was the third
part of men killed, by the fire,
smoke, and brimstone, which is-
sued out of their mouths.
19 For their power is in their
mouth, and in their tails: for
their tails were like unto ser-
pents, and had heads, and with
them they do hurt.
20 And the rest of the men which
were not killed by tlie.se plagues
yet repented not of the works of
their hands, that they should not
worship devils, and idols of gold,
and silver, and brass, and stone,
and of wood ; which neither can
see, nor hear, nor walk :
21 Neither repented they of
their murders, nor of their sorcer-
ies, nor of their fornication, nor
of their thefts.
Bottomle-ss Pit; Dragon; Ser-
pent ; 8atan, the Devil, bound one
thousand years; the first resur-
rection ; the last and general res-
urrection ; .see also Re. 12 and 13,
p. 61, 62.
Re. 20—1 And I saw an an^el
come down from heaven, having
the key of the bottomle.ss pit and
a great chain in his hand.
2 And he laid hold on the drag-
on, that old serpent, which is the
Devil, and Satan, and bound him
a thousand years,
3 And cast him into the bottom-
less pit, and shut him up, and .set
a seal upon him, that he should
deceive the nations no more, till
the thousand years should be ful-
filled : and after that he must be
loosed a little season.
4 And I saw thrones, and they
sat upon them, and judgment was
given unto them : and I saw the
souls of them that were beheaded
for the witness of Jesus, and for
120
the word of God, and which had
uot worshipped the beast, ueitlier
his image, neither had received
his mark upon tlieii' foreheads, or
in their hands; and they lived
and reigned with Christ a thou-
S;ind years.
5 But the rest of the dead lived
not again vmtil the thous;ind
years were tinished. This is the
first resm-rection.
6 Blessed and holy is he that
hath part in the tii-st resurrec-
tion: on such the second death
hath no power, but they shall be
priests of God and of Christ, and
shall reign with him a thousiiud
years.
7 And when the thousand years
are expired, Satan shall be loosed
out of his prison,
8 And .<ihall go out to deceive
the nations which are in the four-
quarters of the earth, Gog and
Magog, to gather them together
to battle: tlie number of whom is
as the Siind of the sea.
9 And they went up on the
breadth of the earth, and com-
passed the camp of the s;\iuts
about, and the beloved city: and
tire came down from God out of
heaven, and devoured them.
10 And the devil that deceived
them was cast into the lake of tire
and brimstone, where the beast
and the false prophet are, and
shall be tormented day and night
for ever and ever.
11 And I saw a great white
tlu'one, and him that sat on it,
from whose face the earth and the
heaven tied away ; and there was
found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small
and great, stand before God: and
the books were opened: and an-
other book was opened, which is
the book of life: and the dead
were judged out of those things
which were written in the hooks,
according to their works.
13 And the .sea gave up the dead
which were in it ; and death and
hell delivered up the dead which
were in them: and they were
judged every man according to
their works.
14 And death and hell were cast
hito the lake of tire. This is the
second death.
15 And whosoever was uot found
written in the book of life was
cast into the lake of fire.

white cloud, and upon the cloud
one sat like imto the Son of man,
having on his head a golden
erown, and in his hand a sharp
sickle
15 And another angel came out
of the temple, crying with a loud
voice to him that sat on the
cloud. Thrust in thy sickle, and
reap: for the harvest of the earth
is ripe. , , ,
16 And he that sat on the cloud
thrust in his sickle on the earth ;
and the earth was reaped.
17 And another angel came out
of the temple which is in heaven,
he also having a sharp sickle.
18 And another angel came out
from the altar, which had power
over fire; and cried with a loud
cry to him that had the sharp
sickle, saying. Thrust in thy sharp
sickle, and gather the clusters of
the vine of the earth; for her
grapes are fully ripe. . .
19 And the angel thrust m his
sickle into the earth, and gathered
the vine of the earth, and cast it
into the great winepress of the
wrath of God.

Ac. 18—2 And a certain Jew
named Aquila, lately come from
Italy, with his wife Priscilla, (be-
cause that Claudius had com-
manded all Jews to depart from
Rome.)
Ro.2— 9 Tribulation and angtiish,
upon every soul of man that doeth
evil ; of the Jew first, and also of
the Gentile ;
137
10 But gloiT. honour, .and peace,
to every man that worketh good ;
to the Jew first, and also to the
Gentile:
11 For there is no respect of per-
sons with God.
28 For he is not a Jew, which is
one outwardly; neither is that
circumcision, which is outward
in the flesh :
29 But he is a Jew, which is
one inwardly; and circumcision
is that of the heart, in the spirit,
and not in the letter; whose
praise is not of men, but of God.
Ro. 3 — 1 What advantage then
hath the Jew? or what profit is
there of circumcision?
2 Much every way : chiefly, be-
cause that unto them were com-
mitted the oracles of God.
3 For what if some did not be-
lieve? shall then- unbelief make
the faith of God without effect?
1 Co. 1—20 Where is the wise?
where is the scribe? where is the
dispvxter of this world? hath not
God made foolish the wisdom of
this world?
21 For after that in the wisdom
of God the world by wisdom knew
not God, it pleased God by the
foolishness of preaching to save
them that believe.
22 For the Jews require a sign,
and the Greeks seek after wis-
dom:
23 But wepreachChristcrucified,
unto the Jews a stumblingblock,
and unto the Greeks foolishness ;
24 But rmto them which are
called, both Jews and Greeks,
Christ the power of God, and the
wisdom of God.
25 Because thefoolishnessof God
is wiser than men ; and the weak-
ness of God is stronger than men.
26 For ye see your calling, breth-
ren, how that not many wise men
after the fleeh, not many mighty,
not many noble, are called:
27 But God hath chosen the fool-
ish things of the world to confound
the wise; and God hath chosen
the weak things of the world to
confound the things which are
mighty-
28 And base thmgs of the world,
and things which are despised,
hath God chosen, yea, and things
which are not, to bring to nought
things that are.
I Co. 9—20 And unto the Jews I
became as a Jew, that I might
gain the Jews.
Ro. 10—12 Tliere is no difference
between the Jew and the Greek :
for the same Lord over all is rich
unto all that call upon him.
13 For whosover shall call upon
the name of the Lord shall be
saved.
1 Co. 12—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.
Gal. 3—28 There is neither Jew
nor Greek, there is neither bond
nor free, there is neither male nor
female: for ye are all one in
Christ Jesus.

Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor
uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scy-
thian, bond nor free: but Christ
is all, and in all.

Ac. 13—46 Paul and Barnabas
said. It M'as necessary that the
word of God should first have been
spoken to you: but seeing ye put
it from you, and judge yourselves
unworthy of everlasting life, lo,
we turn to the Gentiles.
47 For so hath the Lord com-
manded us, saying, I have set
thee to be a light of the Gentiles,
that thou shouldest be for salva-
tion unto the ends of the earth.
48 And when the Gentiles heard
this, they were glad, and glorified
the word of the Lord: and as
138
many as were ordained to eternal
life believed.
Is. 49—6 I will also give thee for
a light to the Gentiles, that thou
mayest be my salvation tmto the
end of the earth, p. 471.
Ac. 15—7 Peter rose up, and said
unto them, Men and brethren, ve
know how that a good while ago
God made choice among us, that
the Gentiles by my mouth should
hear the word of the gospel, and
believe.
8 And God, which knoweth the
hearts, bare them witness, giving
them the Holy Ghost, even as he
did unto us ;
9 And put no difference be-
tween us and them, purifying
their hearts by faith.
JUDGE. JUDGMENT, JUST,
the Unjust Judge, etc. See also

Ex. 23—2 Thou Shalt not follow
a multitude to do evil: neither
speak in a cause to decline after
many to WTest judgment:
3 Neither shalt thou counte-
nance a poor man in his cause.
6 Thou shalt not wrest the judg-
ment of thy poor in his cause.
Le.l9— 15 Yeshall do no unright-
eousness in judgment ; thou shalt
not respect the person of the poor,
not honour the person of the
mighty: but in righteousness
shalt thou judge thy neighbour.
De. 1—16 And I charged your
judges at that time, saying. Hear
the causes between your brethren,
and judge righteously between
every man and his brother, and
the stranger that is with him.
17 Ye shall not respect persons
in judgment; but ye shall hear
the small as well as the great ; ye
shall not be afraid of the face of
man; for the judgment is God's:
and the cause that is too hard for
you, bring it unto me.
De. 16—18 Judges and officers
•shalt thou make thee in all thy
gates, which the Lokd thy God
giveth thee, throughout thy
tribes: and they shall judge the
people with just judgment.
19 Thou shalt not wrest judg-
ment ; thou shalt not respect per-
sons, neither take a gift : for a gift
doth blind the eyes of the wise.
and pervert the words of tiie
righteous.
De. 17—8 If there arise a matter
too hard for thee in judgment, be-
tween blood and blood, between
plea and plea, and between stroke
and stroke, being matters of con-
troversy withui thy gates: then
shalt thou arise, and get thee up
into the place which the Lord
thy God shall choose ;
9 And thou shalt come unto the
priests the Levites, and unto the
judge that shall be in those days,
and inquire ; and they shall shew
thee the sentence of judgment:
10 And thou shalt do according
to the sentence, which they of
that place which the Lord shall
choose shall shew thee; and thou
shalt observe to do according to
all that they inform thee:
11 According to the sentence of
the law which they shall teach
thee, and according to the judg-
ment which they shall tell thee,
thou shalt do:
12 And the man that will do
presumptuously, and will not
hearken unto the priest that
standeth to minister there before
the Lord thy God, or unto the
judge, even that man shall die:
and thou shalt put away the evil
from Israel.
De. 25—1 If there be a contro-
versy between men, and they
come unto judgment, that the
judges may judge them : then
they shall justify the righteous,
and condemn the wicked.
2 And it shall be, if the wicked
man be worthy to be beaten, that
the judge shall cause him to lie
down, and to be beaten before his
face, according to his fault, by a
certain number.
3 Forty stripes he may give him.
and not exceed : lest, if he should
exceed, and beat him above these
with many stripes, then thy broth-
er should seem vile unto thee.
De. 27—19 Cursed be he that
perverteth the judgment of the
stranger, fatherless, and widow:
and all the people shall say, Amen.
Job 9—20 If I justify myself,
mine own mouth shall condemn
me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall
also prove me perverse.
Job 14—3 And dost thou open
thine eyes upon such a one, and
bringest me into judgment with
thee?
139
Job 34—4 Let us choose to us
judgment: let us know among
ourselves wliat is good.
Ps. 9—7 But the Lord shall en-
dure forever: he hath prepared
his tlu-one for judgment.
8 And he shall judge the world
in righteousness, he shall min-
ister judgment to the people tu
uprightness.
Ps. 82—1 God standeth in the
congregation of the mighty; he
judgeth among the gods.
2 How long will ye judge \va-
justly, and accept the persons of
the wicked? Selah.
3 Defend the poor and father-
less: do justice to the afflicted
and needy.
Pro. 4—18 But the path of the
just is as tlie shining liglit, that
shineth more and more mito the
perfect day.
Pro. 10—7 The memory of the
just is blessed: but the name of
the wicked shall rot.
Pro. 11—9 A hypocrite with his
mouth destroyeth his neighbour:
but through knowledge shall the
just be delivered.
Pro. 12—21 There shall no evil
happen to the just : but the wicked
shall be filled with mischief.
Pro. 13—23 Much food is in the
tillage of the poor: but there is
that is destroyed for want of
judgment.
Pro. 17—15 He that justifieth
the wicked, and he that condemn-
eth the just, even they both are
abomination to the Lord.
Pro. 19—28 An ungodly witness
scorneth judgment: and the
mouth of the wicked devoureth
iniquity.
29 Judgments are prepared for
scorners, and stripes for tlie back
of fools.
Pro. 21—3 To do justice and
judgment is more acceptable to
the Lord than sacrifice.
Pro. 31—9 Open thy mouth,
judge righteously, and plead the
cause of the poor and needy.
Ec. 8—6 Because to every pur-
pose there is time and judgment,
therefore the misery of man is
great upon him. p. 194.
Mi. 7-311 That they may do evil
with both hands earnestly, the
prince asketh, and the judge ask-
eth for a reward : and the great
man, he uttereth his mischievous
desire : so they wrap it up.
Is. 59 — 4 Nonecalleth for justice,
nor any pleadeth for truth: they
trust in vanity, and speak lies;
they conceive mischief, and bring
forth iniquity.
8 The way of peace they know
not; and there is no judgment in
their goings: they have made
them crooked paths; whosoever
goeth therein shallnotknowpeace.
9 Therefore is jiidgment far
from us, neither doth justice over-
take us: we wait for light, but
behold obscurity; for brightness,
but we walk in darkness.
11 We roar all like bears, and
mourn sore like doves: we look
for judgment, but there is none;
for salvation, but it is far off.
14 And judgment is turned away-
backward, and justice standeth
afar off: for truth is fallen m the
street, and equity cannot enter.
15 Yea, truth faileth; and he
that departeth from evil maketh
himself a prey: and the Lord
saw it, and it displeased him that
there was no judgment.
Je. 5—28 They judge not the
cause, the cause of the fatherless,
yet they prosper; and the right
of the needy do they not judge.
Am. 5 — 7 Ye who tui'u judgment
to wormwood, and leave off right-
eousness in the earth.
Am. 6—12 Ye have turned judg-
ment into gall, and the fruit of
righteousness into hemlock.

is lifted up is not upright in him ;
but the just shall live by his faitli,

evening wolves; they gnaw not
the bones till the morrow.
Lu. 6—37 Judge not, and ye shall
not be judged : condemn not, and
ye shall not be condemned: for-
give, aild ye shall be forgiven.
Lu. 18—2 Tliere was in a city a
judge, which feared not God,
neither regarded man :
3 And tliere was a widow in
that city ; and she came unto him,
saying. Avenge me of mine ad-
versary.
4 And he would not for a while:
but afterward he said within him-
self, Though I fear not God, nor
regard man;
5 Yet because this widow troub-
leth me, I will avenge her, lest by
her continual coming she weary ,
me.
140
6 And the Lord said, Hear what
the unjust judge saitli.
7 And shall not God avenge his
own elect, which crj' day and
night unto him, though he bear
long with them?
8 1 tell you that he will avenge
them speedily. Nevertheless,
when the Son of man cometh,
shall he tind faith on the earth?
Mat. 7—1 Judge not, that ye be
not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye
judge, ye shall be judged: and
with what measure ye mete, it
shall be measured to you again.
Jno. 7 — 24 Judge not according to
the appearance, but judge right-
eous judgment.
Jno. 12 — 47 And if any man hear
my words, and believe not, 1 judge
him not : for I came not to judge
the world, but to save the world.
48 He that i-ejecteth me, and
receiveth not my words, hath one
that judgeth him : the word that I
have spoken, the same .shall judge
him in the last day.
Ro. 2—1 Therefore thou art in-
excusable, O man, whosoever thou
art that judgest : for wherein thou
judgest another, thou condemn-
est thyself; for thou that judgest
doest the same things.
2 But we are sure that the judg-
ment of God is according to truth
against them which commit such
things.
3 And thinkest thou this, O man,
that judgest them which do such
things, and doest the same, that
thou shalt escape the judgment
of God?
Ro. 14—10 But why dost thou
judge thy brother? or why dost
thou set at nought thy brother?
for we shall all stand before the
judgment seat of Christ.
13 Let us not therefore judge one
another any more: but judge this
rather, that no man put a stum-
blingblock or an occasion to fall
in his brother's way.
iXJo. 4—3 But with me it is a very
small thing that I should be
judged of you, or of man's judg-
ment: yea, I judge not mine own
self.
4 For I know nothing by my-
self: yet am I not hereby justi-
fied: bxit he that judgeth me is
the Lord.
5 Therefore judge nothing be-
fore the time, mitil the Lord
come, who both will bring to light
the hidden things of darkness.and
will make manifest the counsels
of the hearts.
1 Co. 6—2 Do ye not know that
the samts shall judge the world?
and if the world shall be judged
by you, are ye unworthy to judge
the smallest matters?
3 Know ye not that we shall
judge angels? how much more
things that pertain to this life?
4 If then ye have judgments of
things pertaining to this life, set
them to judge who are least es-
teemed in the church.
2 Co. 5—10 For we must all ap-
pear before the judgment seat of
Clu-ist; that every one may re-
ceive tbe things done in his body,
according to that he hath done,
whether it be good or bad.
Ja. 4—11 Speak not evil one of
another, brethren. He that speak-
eth evil of his brother, and judg-
eth his brother, speaketh evil of
the law, and judgeth the law : but
if thou judge the law, thou art not
a doer of the law, but a judge.
12 There is one lawgiver, who is
able to save and to destroy: who
art thou that judgest another?
Ja. 5—9 Grudge not one against
another, brethren, lest ye be con-
demned : behold, the judge stand-
eth before the door.
1 Pe. 4—17 For the time is come
that judgment must begin at the
house of God : and if it first begin
at us, what shall the end be of
them that obey not the gospel of
God?

in thee.
Is. 9 — 3 Thou hast multiplied the
nation, and not increasea the joy ;
they joy before thee according to
the joy in harvest, and as men
rejoice when they divide the
spoil.
Lu. 2—10 Behold, I bring you
good tidiugs of great joy, which
shall be to all people.
Jno. 16—22 And ye now have sor-
row: but I will see you again, and
your heart shall rejoice, and your
]oy no man taketh from you.
24 Ask, and ye shall receive,
that your joy may be full.
Pro. 6—34 For jealousy is the rage
of a man: therefore lie will not
spare in the day of vengeance.
35 He will not regard any ran-
som ; neither will he rebt content,
though thou givest many gifts.
SS. 8— ti Set me as a seal upon
thine heart, as a seal upon thiue
arm : for love is strong as death ;
jealousy is cruel as the grave: the
coals thereof are coals of lire,
which hath a most vehement
flame, p. 174.
Nu. 5—11 H And the Lord spake
unto Moses, saying,
12 Speak unto the children of
Israel, and say unto them. If any
man's wife go aside, aud commit
a trespass against him,
13 And a man lie with her car-
nally, and it be hid from the eyes
of her husband, and be kept close,
and she be defiled, aud there be
no witness against her, neither she
be taken with the manner ;
14 And the spirit of jealousy
come upon him, and he be jealous
of his wife, and she be defiled ; or
if the spirit of jealousy come upon
him, and he be jealous of his wife,
and she be not defiled :
15 Then shall the man bring his
wife unto the priest, and he shall
bring her offering for her, the
tenth part of an ephah of barley
meal; he shall pour no oil upon
it, uor put fraukiuceuse thereon;
for it is an offering of iealousy,
an offering of memorial, bringiug
iuiquity to remembrance.
16 And the priest shall bring her
near, aud set her before the Lord :
17 And the priest shall take holy
water in an earthen vessel ; and of
the dust that is in the floor of the
tabernacle the priest shall take,
and put it into the water :
18 And the priest shall set the
woman before the Lord, and un-
cover the woman's head, and put
the offermg of memorial in her
hands, which is the jealousy offer-
ing: and the priest shall have in
his hand the bitter water that
causeth the curse :
19 And the priest shall charge
her by an oath, and say unto the
woman, If no man have lain ■with
thee, aud if thou hast not gone
aside to uncleannesswith another
instead of thy husband, be thou
free from this bitter water that
causeth the curse :
20 But if thou hast gone aside
to another instead of thy husband,
and if thou be defiled, and some
man have lain with thee besides
thine husband :
21 Then the priest shall charge
the woman with an oath, and the
priest shall say unto the woman.
The Lord make thee a curse and
an oath among thy people, when
the Lord doth make thy thigh to
rot, and thy belly to swell ;
22 And this water that causeth
the curse shall go into thy bowels,
to make thy belly to swell, and
thy thigh to rot. And the woman
shall say. Amen, amen.
23 And the priest shall write
these curses in a l)ook, and he
shall blot them out with the bitter
water:
24 And he shall cause the wo-
man to drink the bitter water that
causeth the curse : aud the water
that causeth the curse shall enter
into her, aud become bitter.
25 Then the priest shall take the
jealousy offermg out of the wo-
man's hand, and shall wave the
offering before the Lord, and
offer it upon the altar:
26 And the priest shall take a
handful of the offering, even the
memorial thereof, and burn it
upon the altar, and afterward
shall cause the woman to drink
the water.
142
27 And when he hath made her
to drink the water, then it shall
come to pass, that if she be defiled,
and have done trespass against
her husband, that the water that
causeth the curse shall enter into
her, and become bitter, and her
Iselly shall swell and her thigh
shall rot: and the woman shall
be a curse among her people.
28 And if the woman be not
defiled, but be clean: then she
shall be free, and shall conceive
seed.
29 This is the law of jealousies,
"wlieu a wife goeth aside to
another instead of her husband;
30 Or when the spirit of jealousy
Cometh upon him, and he be jeal-
ous over liis wife, and shall set
the woman before the Lord, and
the priest shall execute upon her
all tliis law.
31 Then shall the man be guilt-
less from iniquity, and this wo-
man shall bear her iniquity.

ing to the Lord and Samuel, 1 Sa.
12. 17, p. 248. Yet the Lord told
Samuel to make them a king:
and the Lord chose Saul out of all
Israel, saying to Samuel. " Behold
the man whom I spake to thee of,
this same shall rule over my peo-
ple," and Samuel anointed Saul
King (1 Sa. 9. 17 and 1 Sa. 10. l) ; and

he had chosen him to be King
over all Israel, 1 Sa. 15. 1-35. See

22 Let me pass through thy
land: we will not turn into the
fields, or into the vineyards- we
will not drink of the waters of the
well: but we will go along by the
king's high way.
23 And Sihon would not suffer
Israel to pass through his border:
but gathered all his people to-
gether, and fought against Israel.
24 And Israel smote him with
the edge of the sword, and pos-
sessed his land.
33 And they turned and went

Pro. 14—28 In the multitude of

a wise servant : but his wrath is
against him that causeth shame.
Pro. IC— 10 A divine sentence is
in the lips of the king: his mouth
trausgresseth not in judgment.
12 It is an abomination to kings
to commit wickedness: the throne
is established by righteousness.
13 Righteous lipsare the delight
of kings; and they love him that
speaketh right.
14 The wrath of a king is as mes-

Lord's sake: whether it be to the
king, as supreme ;
14 Or unto governors, as unto
them that are sent by him for
the punishment of evil doers, and
for the praise of them that do well.

ish men.
17 Honour all men. Love the
brotherhood. Fear God. Hon-

Ex. 22—28 Thou shalt not revile
the gods, nor curse the ruler of
thy people.
Pro. 28—15 As a roaring lion,
and a ranging bear ; so is a wicked
ruler over the poor people.
Pro. 29—12 If a ruler hearken to
lies, all his servants are wicked.
26 Many seek the ruler's favour ;
but every man's judgment cometh
from the Lord.
Ec. 10—4 If the spirit of the ruler
rise up agamst thee, leave not
thy place; for yielding pacifieth
great offences.
Is. 3—5 And the people shall be
oppressed, every one by another,
and every one by his neighbour:
the chila shall behave himself
proudly agamst the ancient, and
the base against the honourable.
6 When a man shall take hold
of his brother of the house of his
father, saying. Thou hast cloth-
ing, be thou our ruler, and let
this rain be under thy hand:
7 In that day shall he swear,
saying, I will not be a healer;
for in my_house is neither bread
nor clothing: make me not a
ruler of the people.
Ro. 13—1 Let every soul be sub-
ject unto the higher powers. For
there is no power but of God : the
powers that be are ordained of
God.
2 Whosoever therefore resisteth
the power, resisteth the ordinance
of God : and they that resist shall
receive to themselves damnation.
3 For rulers are not a terror to
good works, but to the evil. Wilt
thou then not be afraid of the pow-
er? do that which is good, and
thou shalt have praise of the same :
4 For he is the minister of God
to thee for good. But if thou do
that which is evil, be afraid ; for
he beareth not the sword in vain :
for he is the minister of God, a
revenger to execute wrath upon
him that doeth evil.
5 Wherefore ye must needs be
subject, not only for wrath, but
also for conscience' sake.
6 For, for this cause pay ye trib-
ute also: for they are God's min-
isters, attending continually upon
this very thmg.
7 Render therefore to all their
dxies: tribute to whom tribute is
due; custom to whom custom;
fear to whom fear; honoiu' to
whom honour.
Nu. 22—15 And Balak sent yet
again princes, more, and more
honourable than they.
Job 34—18 Is it fit to say to a
king. Thou art wicked? and to
princes. Ye are ungodly?
19 How much less to him that
accepteth not the persons of
prmces, nor regardetn the rich
more than the poor? for they all
are the work of liis hands.
Ps. 146—3 Put not your trust in
princes, nor ui the son of man, in
whom there is no help.
Pro. 17—7 Excellent speech be-
cometh not a fool: much less do
lying lips a prince.
Pro. 19—6 Many will entreat the
favour of the prince; and every
man is a friend to him that
giveth gifts.
Pro. 25—15 By long forbearing is
a prince persuaded, and a soft
tongue breaketh the bone.
Pro. 28—16 The prince that want-
eth understanding is also a great
oppressor.
Ec. 10—16 Woe to thee, O land,
when thy king is a child, and thy
princes eat in the morning!
17 Blessed art thou, O land,
when thy king is the son of
nobles, and thy princes eat in due
season, for strength, and not for
drunkenness !

lious, and companions of thieves:
every one loveth gifts, and fol-
loweth after rewards, p. 34.

Quotations in regard to Land, etc.
Ge. 12—1 Now the Lord had said
unto Abram, Get thee out of thy
coimtry, and from thy kindred,
and from thy father's house, unto
a land that I will shew thee :
2 And I will make of thee a
great nation, and I will bless
thee, and make thy name great;
3 And I will bless them that
bless thee, and curse him that
ciu-seth thee : and in thee shall all
families of the earth be blessed.
4 So Abram departed, as the
Lord had spoken unto him : and
Lot went with him: and Abram
was seventy and five years old
when he departed out or Haran.
5 And Abram took Sarai his
wife, and Lot his brother's son,
and all their substance that they
had gathered, and the souls that
they had gotten in Haran; and
they went forth to go into the
land of Canaan; and into the
land of Canaan they came.
149
7 And the Lord appeared unto
Abram, and said, Lnto thy seed
will I give this land: and there
build ed he an altar unto the
Lord, who appeared unto him.
Ge. 13— U And the Lord said
imto Abram, after that Lot was
se^)arated from him, Lift up now
thine eyes, and look from the
place where thou art northward,
and southward, and eastward, and
westward :
15 For all the land which thou
seest, to thee will I give it, and to
thy seed for ever.
IG And I will make thy seed as
the dust of the earth: so that if a
man can number the dust of the
earth, then shall thy seed also be
numbered.
17 Arise, walk through the land
in the length of it and in the
breadth of it ; for I will give it
unto thee.
18 Then Abram removed his
tent, and came and dwelt in the
plain of Mamre, in Hebron, and
built there an altar unto the Lord.
Ge. 15—5 And the Lord brought
him forth abroad, and said, Look
now toward heaven, and tell the
stars, if thou be able to number
them : and he said unto him. So
shall thy seed be.
6 And he believed in the Lord ;
and he counted it to him for
righteousness.
7 And lie said unto him, I am
the Lord that brought thee out
of Ur of the Clialdees, to give
thee this land to inherit it.
13 And he said unto Abram,
Know of a surety that thy seed
shall be a stranger in a land that
is not theirs, and shall serve them ;
and they shall afflict them four
hundred years,
14 And also that nation, whom
they shall serve, will I judge : and
afterward shall they come out
with great substance.
18 In that same day the Lord
made a covenant with Abram,
saying, Unto thy seed have I
given this land, from the river
of Egypt unto the great river,
the river Euphrates:
19 The Kenites, and the Keniz-
zites, and the Kadmonites,
20 And the Hittites, and the
Perizzites, and the Rephaim,
21 And the Amorites, and the
Canaanites, and the Girgashites,
and the Jebusites.
Ge. 17—1 And when Abram was
ninety years old and nine, the
Lord appeared to Abram, and said
unto him, I am the Almighty
God ; v?alk before me. and be thou
perfect.
5 Neither shall thy name any
more be called Abram, but thy
name shall be Abraham; for a
father of many nations have I
made thee.
6 And I will make thee exceed-
ing fruitful, and I will make na-
tions of thee, and kings shall
come out of thee.
7 And I will establish my cov-
enant between me and thee and
thy seed after thee in their gen-
erations, for an everlasting cove-
nant, to be a God unto thee and
to thy seed after thee.
8 And I will give unto thee.and
to thy seed after thee, the land
whereui thou art a stranger, all
the land of Canaan, for an ever-
lasting possession; and 1 will be
their God. Continued on p. 52.
15 And God said unto Abraham,
As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt
not call her name Sarai, but Sarah
shall her name be.
16 And I will bless her, and give
thee a son also of her: yea, I will
bless her,and;she shall be a mother
of nations; kings of people shall
be of her. p. 180.
•Jacob and his entire family go
down into Egypt. See also Ge. 47,
p. 353.
Ge. 46—1 And Israel took his
journey with all that he had, and
came to Beer-sheba, and offered
sacrifices unto the God of his
father Isaac.
2 And God spake unto Israel in
the visions of the night, and said,
Jacob, Jacob. And he said. Here
am I.
3 And he said, I am God, the
God of thy father: fear not to go
down into Egypt ; for I will there
niake of thee a great nation.
4 I will go down with thee into
Egypt; and I will also surely
bring thee up again; and Joseph
shall put his hand upon thine
eyes.
5 And Jacob rose up from Beer-
sheba : and the sons of Israel car-
ried Jacob their father, and their
little ones, and their wives, in the
wagons which Pharaoh had sent
to carry him.
150
6 And they took their cattle,
and their goods, which they had
gotten in the land of Canaan, and
came into Egypt, Jacob, and all
his seed with him. De. 26. 5.
26 All the souls that came with
Jacob into Egypt, which came
out of his loins, besides Jacob's
sons' wives, all the souls were
threescore and six ;
27 And the sons of Joseph, which
were borne him in Egypt, were
two souls: all the souls of the
house of Jacob, which came into
Egypt, were threescore and ten.

which came into Egypt.
2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and
Judah,
3 Issachar, Zebulun,and Benja-
min,
4 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and
Asher.
5 And all the souls that came
out of the loins of Jacob were
seventy souls: for Joseph was in
Egypt already.
6 And Joseph died, and all his
brethren, and all that generation.
7 And the children of Israel
were fruitful, and increased abun-
dantly, and multiplied, and
waxed exceeding mighty; and
the land was filled with them.
8 Now there arose up a new
king over Egypt, which knew not
Joseph.
9 And he said unto his people,
Behold, the people of the children
of Israel are more and mightier
than we:
10 Come on, let us deal wisely
with them; lest they multiply,
and it come to pass, that, when
there falleth out any war, they
join also unto our enemies, and
tight against us, and so get them
up out of the land.
11 Therefore they did set over
them taskmasters to afflict them
with their burdens. And they
built for Pharaoh treasure cities,
Pithom and Raanises.
12 But the more they afflicted
them, the more they multiplied
and grew. And they were grieved
because of the children of Israel.
13 And the Egyptians made the
children of Israel to serve with
rigour :
14 And they made their lives
bitter with hard bondage, in mor-
tar, and in brick, and in all man-
ner of service in the field: all
their service, wherein they made
them serve, was with rigour. Ex.
5, p. 30.
Moses at the Burning Bush. He
is commanded and instructed by
the Lord to deliver the children
of Israel out of the hands of the
Egj'ptians.
Ex. 3—1 Now Moses kept the
flock of Jethro his father in law,
the priest of Midian: and he led
the flock to the back side of the
desert, and came to the mountain
of God, even to Horeb.
2 And the Angel of the Lord
appeared unto him in a flame of
fire out of the midst of a bush:
and he looked, and, behold, the
bush burned with fire, and the
bush was not consumed.
3 And Moses said, I will now
turn aside, and see this great
sight, why the bush is not burnt.
4 And when the Lord saw that
he turned aside to see, God called
unto him out of the midst of the
bush, and said, Moses, Moses.
And he said. Here am I.
5 And he said. Draw not nigh
hither: put off thy shoes from off
thy feet; for the place whereon
thou standest is holy ground.
6 Moreover he said, I am the
God of thy father, the God of
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And
Moses hid his face: for he was
afraid to look upon God.
7 And the Lord said, I have
surely seen the affliction of my
people which are in Egypt, and
have heard their cry by reason of
their taskmasters; for I know
their sorrows. Ex. 5, p. 30.
8 And I am come down to de-
liver them out of the hand of the
Egyptians, and to bring them up
out of that land unto a good land
and a large, unto a land flowing
with milk and honey, unto the
place of the Canaanites, and the
Hittites, and the Amorites, and
the Perizzites, and the Hivites,
and the Jebusites.
151
9 Now therefore, behold, the cry
of the children of Israel is come
unto me: aud I have also seen the
oppression wherewith the Egyp-
tians oppress them.
10 Come now therefore, and I
will send thee unto Pharaoh, that
thou mayest bring forth my people
the children of Israel out of Egyjp
13 And Moses said unto God, Be
t.
hold, when I come unto the chil-
dren of Israel, and shall say unto
them, The God of your fathers
hath sent me unto you : and they
shall say to me. What ishis name?
what shall I say unto them?
14 And God said unto Moses, I
AM THAT I AM: and he said,
Thus shalt thou sayuntothe chil-
dren of Israel, I AM hath sent me
unto you.
18 Aud they shall hearken to thy
voice: and thou shalt come, thou
and the elders of Israel, unto the
king of Egypt, and ye shall say
unto him. The Lord God of the
Hebrews hath met with us: and
now let us go, we beseech thee,
three days' journey into the wil-
derness, that we may sacrifice to
the Lord our God.
19 And I am sure that the king
of Egypt will not let you go, no,
not by a mighty hand.
20 And I will stretch out my
hand, and smite Egypt with all
my wonders which I will do in the
midst thereof : and after that he
will let you go.
21 And I will give this people
favour in the sight of the Egyp-
tians: and it shall come to pass,
that, when ye go, ye shall not go
empty :
22 But every woman shall bor-
row of her neighbour, and of her
that sojoumeth in her house, jew-
els of silver, and iewels of gold,
and raiment: and ye shall put
them upon your sons, and upon
your daughters; and ye shall spoil
the Egyptians.
Ex. 4—1 And Moses answered
and said, But, behold, they will
not believe me, nor hearken unto
my voice: for they will say, The
Lord hath not appeared unto thee.
2 And the Lord said unto him.
What is that in thine hand? Aud
he said, A rod.
3 And he said. Cast it on the
ground. And he cast it, on the
ground, and it became a serpent;
and Moses fled from before it.
4 And the Lord said unto Moses,
Put forth thine hand, and take it
by the tail. And he put fortii his
hand, and caught it, and it be-
came a rod in his hand.
6 And the Lord said further-
more unto him, Put now thine
hand into thy bosom. And he
put his hand into his bosom : and
when he took it out, behold, his
hand was leprous as snow.
7 And he said. Put thine hand
into thy bosom again. And he put
his hand into his bosom again ;
and plucked it out of his bosom, -
and, behold, it was turned again
as his other Hesh.
9 And it shall come to pass, if
they will not believe also these
two signs, neither hearken unto
thy voice, that thou shalt take of
the water of the river, and pour it
upon the dry land : and the water
which thou takest out of the river
shall become blood upon the dry
land.
18 And Moses went^ and re-
turned to Jethro his father in law,
and said unto him, Let me go, I
Eray thee, and return unto my
rethren which are in Egypt, and
see whether they be yet alive.
And Jethro said to Moses, Go in
peace.
20 And Moses took his wife and
his sons, and set them upon an
ass, and he returned to the land
of Egypt: and Moses took the
rod of God in his hand.
21 And the Lord said unto Mo-
ses, When thou goest to return
into Egypt, see that thou do all
those wonders before Pharaoh,
which I have put in thine hand:
but I will harden his heart, that
he shall not let the people go.
24 And it came to pass oy the
way in the inn, that the Lord met
him, and sought to kill him.
25 Then Zipporah took a sharp
stone, and cut off the foreskin of
her son, and cast it at his feet, and
said, Surely a bloody husband art
thou to me.
26 So he let him go: then she
said, A bloody husband thou art,
because of the circumcision.
27 And the Lord said to Aaron,
Go into the wilderness to meet
Moses. And he went, and met him
in the mount of God, and kissed
him.
28 And Moses told Aaron all the
I words of the Lord.
152
Ex. 5—1 And afterward Moses
and Aaron went in, and told Pha-
raoh, Thus saith the Lord God of
Israel, Let my people go, that they
may hold a feast unto me m the
wilderness. , • ^i,
2 And Pharaoh said, who is the
Lord, that J should obey his
voice to let Israel go? l,,know
not the Lord, neither will I let
Israel go. . , „, ^ ■, ixv
3 And they said. The God of the
Hebrews hath met with us: letus
go, we pray thee, three days' jour-
ney into the desert, and sacrince
unto the Lord our God ; lest he
fall upon us with pestilence, or
with the sword. .
4 And the king of Egypt said
•unto them. Wherefore do ye, Mo-
ses and Aaron, let the people from
their works? get you imto your
burdens, p. 29. , ^ ^t.
22 And Moses returned unto the
Lord, and said, Lord, wherefore
hast thou so evil entreated this
people? why is it that thou hast
sent me? . ^ m. r
23 For since I came to Pharaoh
to speak in thy name, he hath
done evil to this people ; neither
hast thou delivered thy people at
all.
Ex. 6—1 Then the Lord said unto
Moses, Now shalt thou see what
I will do to Pharaoh: for with a
strong hand shall he let them go,
and with a strong hand shall he
drive them out of his land.
6 Wherefore say vmto the chil-
dren of Israel, I am the Lord, and
I will brmg you out from imder
the burdens of the Egyptians, and
I will rid vou out ot their bond-
age, and I will redeem you with a
stretched out arm, Ewid with great
judgments: „
7 And I will take you to me tor
a people, and I will be to you a
God : and ye shall know that I am
the Lord vour God. which bring-
eth you oiit from under the bur-
dens of the Egyptians.
8 And I will bring you m unto
the land, concerning the which I
did swear to give it to Abraham,
to Isaac, and to Jacob ; and I will
give it you for a heritage: I am
the Lord. , ^ ^,
9 And Moses spake so unto the
children of Israel: but they heark-
ened not unto Moses for anguish
of spirit, and for cruel bondage.
10 And the Lord spake unto
Moses, saying,
11 Go in, speak unto Pharaoh
king of Egypt, that he let the chil-
dren of Israel go out of his land.
12 And Moses spake before the
Lord, saying. Behold, the chil-
dren of Israel have not hearkened
unto me ; how then shall Pharaoh
hear me. who am of imcircum-
cised lips?
Aaron's Rod. The Plagues of
Egypt, etc.
Ex. 7—1 And the Lord said unto
Moses, See, I have made thee a
god to Pharaoh ; and Aaron thy
brother shall be thy prophet.
2 Thou Shalt speak all that I
command thee; and Aaron thy
brother shall speak unto Pharaoh,
that he send the children of Israel
out of his land. , „, ,,
3 And I will harden Pharaoh's
heart, and multiply my signs and
my wonders in the land of Egypt.
4 But Pharaoh shall not hearken
unto vou. that I may lav my ha,nd
upon Egypt, and bring forth mine
armies, and my people the chil-
dren of Israel, out of the land of
Egypt bv great judgments. .
6 And Moses and Aaron did as
the Lord commanded them, so
did they.
7 And Moses was fourscore years
old,aud Aaron fom-score and three
vears old, when they spake unto
Pharaoh.
10 And Moses and Aaron went m
imto Pharaoh, and they did so as
the Lord had commanded: and
Aaron cast down his rod before
Pharaoh, and before his servants,
and it became a serpent.
11 Then Pharaoh also called the
wise men and the sorcerers: now
the magicians of Egypt, they also
did in like manner with their en-
chantments.
12 For they cast down every man
his rod.and they became serpents:
but Aaron's rod swallowed up
then- rods.
13 And he hardened Pharaoh s
heart, that he hearkened not unto
them ; as the Lord had said.
19 And the Lord spake unto
Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy
rod, and stretch out thine hand
upon the waters of Egypt, upon
their streams, upon their rivers,
and upon their ponds, and upon
all their pools of water, that they
153
may hecome blood ; and that there
may be blood throughout all the
land of Egypt, both hi vessels of
wood, and in vessels of stone.
20 And Moses and Aaron did so,
as the Lord commanded ; and he
lifted up the rod, and smote the
waters that were in the river, in
the sight of Pharaoh, and in the
sight of his servants; and all the
waters that were in the river
were turned to blood.
21 And the lish that was in th&
river died ; and the river stank,
and the Egyptians c(juld not drink
of the water of the river; and
there was blood throughout all
the land of Egypt.
22 And the magicians of Egypt
did so with their enchantments:
and Pharaoh's heart was hard-
ened, neither did he hearken un-
to them ; as the Lord had said.
Ex. 8—5 And the Lord spake un-
to Moses, Say imto Aaron, Stretch
forth thine hand with thy rod over
the streams, over the rivers, and
over the ponds, and cause frogs to
come up iipon the land of Egypt.
6 And Aaron stretched out his
hand over the waters of Egypt;
a,nd the frogs came up, and cov-
ered the land of Egypt.
7 And the magicians did so with
their enchantments, and brought
up frogs upon the land of Egypt.
8 Then Pharaoh called for Mo-
ses and Aaron, and said, Entreat
the Lord, that he may take away
the frogs from me, and from my
people; and I will let the people
go, that they may do isacrihce
imto the Lord.
9 And Moses said lanto Pharaoh,
Glory over me: when shall I en-
treat for thee, and for thy ser-
vants, and for thy people, to de-
stroy the frogs from thee and thy
houses, that they may remain in
the river only?
10 And he said. To morrow.
And he said, Be it according to
thy word ; that thovi mayest know
that there is none like unto the
Lord om God.
12 And Moses and Aaron went
out from Pharaoh: and Moses
cried unto the Lord because of
the frogs which he had brought
against Pharaoh.
13 And the Lord did according
to the word of Moses; and the
frogs died out of the houses, out of
the villages, and out of the fields.
14 And they gathered them to-
gether upon heaps ; and the land
stank.
1.5 But when Pharaoh saw tliat
there was respite, he hardened
his lieart, and hearkened not
unto them • as the Lord had said.
16 H And the Lord said unto
Moses, Say tmto Aaron, Stretch
out thy rod, and smite the dust
of the land, that it may become
lice.
17 And they did so; for Aaron
stretched out 'his hand with his
rod, and smote the dust of the
earth, and it became lice in man,
and in beast ; all the dust of the
land became lice tliroughout all
the land of Egypt.
18 And the magicians did so
with their enchantments to bring
forth lice, but they could not : so
there were lice upon man, and.
upon beast. 2 Ti. 3. 8, p. 323.
19 Then the magicians said unto
Pharaoh, This is the finger of
God: and Pharaoh's heart was
hardened, and he hearkened not
unto them ; as the Lord had said.
20 H And the Lord said unto Mo-
ses, Rise up early in the morn-
ing, and stand before Pharaoh;
lo, he cometh forth to the water ;
and say unto him, Thus saith the
Lord, Let my people go, that they
may serve me.
21 Else, if thou wilt not let my
people go, behold, I will send
swarms of flies upon thee, and up-
on thy servants, and upon thy peo-
ple, and into thy houses: and the
houses of the Egyptians shall be
full of swarms of flies, and also
the groirnd whereon they are.
22 And I will sever in that day
the land of Goshen, in which my
people dwell, that no swarms of
flies shall be there; to the end
thou mayest know that I am the
Lord in the midst of the earth.
23 And I will put a division be-
tween my people and thy people:
to morrow shall this sign be.
24 And the Lord did so; and
there came a grievous swarm of
flies into the house of Pharaoh,
and into his servants' houses, and
into all the land of Egypt: the
land was cornipted by reason of
the swarm of flies.
25 And Pharaoh called for
Moses .and for Aaron, and said. Go
ye, sacrifice to your God in the
land.
154
26 And IMoses said. It is not meet
so to do ; for we shall sacrifice the
abomination of the Egyptians to
the Lord our God: lo. shall we
sacrifice the abomination of the
Egyptians before their eyes, and
will they not stone us? .
27 We will go three days' jour-
ney into the wilderness, and sac-
rifice to the Lord our God, as he
shall command us. .„ , ^
28 And Pharaoh said, I will let
you go, that ye may sacrifice to
the Lord your God m the wilder-
ness; only ye shall not go very far
away: entreat for me. , ,, ,
29 And Moses said, Behold, I go
out from thee, and I will entreat
the Lord that the swarms of flies
may depart from Pharaoh, from
his servants, and from his people,
to morrow: out let not Pharaoh
deal deceitfully any more in not
letting the people go to sacrihce
to the Lord.
30 And Moses went out from
Pharaoh, and entreated the Lord.
31 And the Lord did according
to the word of Moses : and he re-
moved the swarms of files from
Pharaoh, from his servants, and
from his people; there remained
not one. _, , , ■, ■, ,■
32 And Pharaoh hardened his
heart at this time also, neither
would he let the people go.
Ex. 9—1 Then the Lord said
unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh
and tell him, Thus saith the Lord
God of the Hebrews, Let my peo-
ple go, that they may serve me.
2 For if thou refuse to let them
go, and wilt hold them still,
3 Behold, the hand of the Lord
is upon thy cattle which is in the
field, upon the horses, upon the
asses, upon the camels, upon the
oxen, and upon the sheep: there
shall be a very gi-ievous niurram.
4 And the Lord shall sever be-
tween the cattle of Israel and the
cattle of Egypt: and there shall
nothing die of all that is the chil-
dren's of Israel. .
5 And the Lord appomted a set
time, saying, To morrow the Lord
shall do this thing in the land. .
6 And the Lord did that thing
on the morrow, and all the cattle
of Egypt died : but of the cattle of
the children of Israel died not one.
7 And Pharaoh sent, and, behold,
there was not one of the cattle of
the Israelites dead. And the heart
of Pharaoh was hardened, and he
did not let the people go. .
8 IF And the Lord said unto
Moses and unto Aaron, Take to
you handfuls of ashes of the fur-
nace, and let Moses sprinkle it
toward the heaven in the sight of
Pharaoh. „ , ^
9 And it shall become small dust
in all the land of Egypt, and shall
be a boil breaking forth with
blains upon man, and upon beast,
throughout all the land of Egypt.
10 And they took ashes of the
furnace, and stood before Pha-
raoh; and Moses sprinkled it up
toward heaven • and it became a
boil breaking forth with blams
upon man, and upon beast.
11 And the magicians could not
stand before Moses because of the
boils; for the t)oil was upon the
magicians, and upon all the Egyp-
tians. , , , ,,
12 And the Lord hardened the
heart of Pharaoh, and he heark-
ened not unto them ; as the Lord
had spoken unto Moses. .
13 H And the Lord said unto
Moses, Rise up early in the mom-
ing.and stand before Pharaoh. and
say unto him. Thus saith the Lord
God of the Hebrews, Let my peo-
ple go, that they may serve me.
14 For I will at this time send all
my plagues upon thme heart, and
upon thy servants, and upon thy
people ; that thou mayest know
that there is none like me m all
the earth. .,, . ^ t. *
15 For now 1 will stretch out
my hand, that I may smite thee
and thv people with pestilence;
and thou shall be cut off from
the earth. , , r xi •
16 And m very deed for this
cause have I raised thee up, for
to shew in thee my power; and
that my name may be declared
throughout all the earth.
17 As yet exaltest thou thyself
against my people, that thou wilt
not let them go? , ^ ^, .
18 Behold, to morrow about this
time I will cause it to rain a very
grievous hail, such as hath not
been in Egypt since the founda-
tion thereof even until now.
19 Send therefore now, and
gather thv cattle, and ail that
thou hast in the field ; for upon
every man and beast which shall
be found in the field, and shall
not be brought home, the nail
155
shall come dowu upon them, and
they shall die.
20 He that feared the word of
the Lord aiuoug the servants of
Pharaoh made his servants and
his cattle tiee into the houses:
21 And he that regarded not
the word of the Lord left his
servants and his cattle in the
field.
22 IT And the Lord said iinto
Moses, Stretch forth thine hand
toward heaven, that there may
be hail in all the land of Egypt,
upon man, and upon beast, and
upon every herb of the field,
throughout the land of Egypt.
23 And Moses stretched forth
his rod toward heaven: and the
Lord sent thunder and hail, and
the fire ran along upon the
ground ; and the Lord rained
hail upon the land of Egypt.
24 So there was hail, and fire
mingled with the hail, very griev-
ous, such as there was none like
it in all the land of Egypt since it
became a nation.
2.5 And the hail smote through-
out all the land of Egypt all that
was in the field, both man and
beast; and the hail smote every
herb of the field, and brake every
tree of the field.
26 Only in the land of Goshen,
where the children of Israel were,
was there no hail.
27 H And Pharaoh sent, and
called for Moses and Aaron, and
said unto them, I have sinned this
time : the Lord is righteous, and
I and my people are wicked.
28 Entreat the Lord (for it is
enough) that there be no more
mighty thunderings and hail ;
and I will let you go, and ye shall
stay no longer.
29 And Moses said vmto him. As
soon as I am gone out of the city,
I will spread abroad my hands
unto the Lord ; and the thunder
shall cease, neither shall there be
any more hail ; that thou mayest
know how that the earth is the
Lord's.
30 But as for thee and thy serv-
ants, I know that ye will not yet
fear the Lord God.
31 And the flax and the barley
was smitten: for the barley was
in the ear, and the flax was boiled.
32 But the wheat and the rye
were not smitten: for they were
not grown up.
.33 And Moses went out of the
city from Pharaoh, and spread
abroad his hands luito the Lord:
and the thunders and hail ceased,
and the rain was not poured upon
the earth.
34 And when Pharaoh saw that
the rain and the hail and the
thunders) were ceased, he sinned
yet more, and hardened his heart,
he and his servants.
35 And the heart of Pharaoh
was hardened, neither would he
let the children of Israel go; as
the Lord had spoken by Moses.
Ex. 10 — 1 And the Lord said un-
to Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh : for
I have hardened his heart, and the
heart of his servants, that J might
shew these my signs before him:
2 And that thou mayest tell in
the ears of thy son, and of thy
son's son, what things I have
wrought in Egypt, and my signs
which I have done among them ;
that ye may know how that I am
the Lord.
3 And Moses and Aaron came in
unto Pharaoh, and said unto him.
Thus saith the Lord God of the
Hebrews, How long wilt thou re-
fuse to hum hie thyself before me?
let my people go, that they may
serve me.
4 Else, if thou refuse to let
my people go, behold, to morrow
will I bring the locusts into thy
coast :
5 And they shall cover the face
of the earth, that one cannot be
able to see the earth: and they
shall eat the residue of that which
is escaped, which remaineth unto
you from the hail, and shall eat
every tree which groweth for you
out of the field:
6 And they shall fill thy houses,
and the houses of all thy serv-
ants, and the houses of all the
Egyptians; which neither thy
fathers, nor thy fathers' fathers
have seen, suice the day that they'
vi^ere uptm the earth unto this
day. And he turned himself, and
went out from Pharaoh.
7 And Pharaoh's servants said
unto him. How long shall this
man be a snare unto us? let the
men go, that they may serve the
Lord their God: knowest thou
not yet that Egypt is destroyed?
8 And Moses and Aaron were
brought again unto Pharaoh : and
he said unto them, Go, serve the
156
Lord yom- God : but who are they
that shall go?
9 And Moses said, We will go
with our young and with our old,
with our sons and with our daugh-
ters, with our flocks and with our
herds will we go; for we must
hold a feast unto the Lord.
10 And he said unto them. Let
the Lord be so with you, as I will
let you go, and your little ones:
look to it ; for evil is before you.
11 Not so : go now ye that are
men, and serve the Lord ; for
that ye did deshe. And they
were driven out from Pharaoh's
presence.
12 H And the Lord said unto
Moses, Stretch out thine hand
over the land of Egypt for the
locusts, that they may come up
upon the land of Egypt, and eat
every herb of the land, even all
that the hail hath left.
13 And Moses stretched forth
his rod over the land of Egypt,
and the Lord brought an east
wind upon the land all that day,
and all that night; and when
it was morning, the east wind
brought the locusts.
14 And the locusts went up over
all the land of Egypt, and rested
in all the coasts of Egypt: very
grievous were they ; before them
there were no such locusts as they,
neither after them shall be such.
15 For they covered the face of
the whole earth, so that the land
was darkened ; and they did eat
every herb of the land, and all
the fruit of the trees which the
hail had left: and there remained
not any green thing iu the trees,
orin theherbsof thefield,through
all the land of Egypt.
16 IT Then Pharaoh called for
Moses and Aaron in haste; and
he said, I have sinned against the
Lord your God, and against you.
17 Now therefore forgive, I pray
thee, my sin only this once, and
entreat the Lord your God, that
he may take away from me this
death only.
18 And he went out from Pha-
raoh, and entreated the Lord.
19 And the Lord turned a mighty
strong westwind, which took away
the locusts, and cast them into the
Red sea ; there remained not one
locust in all the coasts of Egypt.
20 But the Lord hardened Pha-
raoh's heart, so that he would
not let the children of Israel go.
21 IT And the Lord said unto
Moses, Stretch out thine hand to-
ward heaven, that there may be
darkness over the land of Egypt,
even darkness which may be felt.
22 And Moses stretched forth his
hand toward heaven; and there
was a thick darkness in all the
land of Egvpt three days:
23 They saw not one another,
neither rose any fi'om his place
for three davs: but all the chil-
dren of Israel had light in their
dwellings.
24 H And Pharaoh called unto
Jloses, and said. Go ye, serve tbe
Lord; only let your flocks and
your herds be stayed: let your
little ones also go with you.
25 And Moses said. Thou must
give us also sacrifices and burnt
offerings, that we may sacrifice
unto the Lord our God.
26 Our cattle also shall go with
us; there shall not a hoof be left
behuid ; for thereof must we take
to serve the Lord our God ; and
we know not with what we must
serve the Lord, until we come
thither. , , -, ,
27 11 But the Lord hardened
Pharaoh's heart, and he would
not let them go.
28 And Pharaoh said unto him.
Get thee from me, take heed to
thyself, see my face no more; for
in that day thou seest my face
thou Shalt die.
29 And Moses said. Thou hast
spoken well, I will see thy face
again no more.
Ex. 11—1 And the Lord said unto
Moses, Yet will I bring one plague
more upon Pharaoh, and upon
Egypt ; afterwards he will let you
go hence: when he shall let you
go, he shall surely thrust you out
hence altogether.
2 Speak now in the ears of the
people, and let every man bon-ow
of his neighbour, and every wo-
man of her neighbour, jewels of
silver, and jewels of gold.
3 And the Lord gave the peo-
ple favom- in the sight of the
lEgyptians. Moreover, the man
Moses was very great in the land
of Egypt, in the sight of Pha-
raoh's servants, and in the sight
of tne people. .
4 And Moses said. Thus saith
the Lord, About midnight will
I go out into the midst of Egypt:
157
5 And all the firstborn in the
land oi Egypt shall die, from the
firstborn of Pharaoh that sitteth
upon his throne, even unto the
firstborn of the maidservant that
is behind the mill; and all the
firstborn of beasts.
6 And there shall be a great cry
throughout all the land of Egypt,
such as thei'e was none like it,
nor shall be like it any more.
7 But against any of the chil-
dren of Israel shall not a dog
move his tongue, against man or
beast : that ye may know how that
the Lord doth put a difference be-
tween the Egyptians and Israel.
8 And all these thy servants shall
come down unto me, and bow
down themselves unto me, saying,
Get thee out. and all the people
that follow thee : and after that I
will go out. And he went out
irom Pharaoh in a great anger.
9 And the I^ord said unto Moses,
Pharaoh shall not hearken unto
you; that my wonders may be
multiplied in the land of Egypt.
10 And Moses and Aaron did all
these wonders before Pharaoh:
and the Lord hardened Pharaoh's
heart, so that he would not let the
children of Israel go out of his
land.
The Passover instituted. The
Firstborn of Egypt slain.
Ex. 12—1 And the Lord spake
unto Moses and Aaron in the land
of Egjpt, saying,
2 This month shall be unto you
the begmning of months: it shall
be the fii'st month of the year to
you.
3 IT Speak ye unto all the congre-
gation of Israel, saying. In the
tenth day of this mouth they shall
take to them every man a lamb,
according to the house of their
fathers, a lamb for a house :
4 And if the household be too
little forthe lamb, let him and his
neighbour next unto his house
.y take it according to the number
of the souls ; every man according
to his eating shall make your
count for the lamb.
5 Your lamb shall be without
blemish, a male of the first year:
ye shall take it out fi'om the
sheep, or from the goats:
6 And ye shall keep it up until
the fourteenth day of the same
month: and the whole assembly
of the congregation of Israel shall
kill it in the evening.
7 And they shall take of the
blood, and strike it on the two
side posts and on the upper door
post of the houses, wherein they
shall eat it.
8 And they shall eat the flesh in
that night, roast with fire, and un-
leavened bread; and with bitter
herbs they shall eat it.
9 Eat not of it raw, nor sodden
at all with water, but roast with
tire; his head with his legs, and
with the purteuance thereof.
10 And ye shall let nothing of it
remain until the morning; and
that which remaineth of it until
the moruLug ye shall bui-n with
lire.
11 IT And thus shall ye eat it;
with your loins girded, your shoes
on your feet, and your staff in
your hand ; and ye shall eat it in
haste: it is the Lord's passover.
12 For I will pass through the
land of Egypt this night, and will
smite all the firstborn in the land,
both man and beast; and against
all the gods of Egypt I will exe-
cute judgment: I am the Lord.
13 And the blood shall be to you
for a token upon the houses where
ye are: and when I see the blood,
I will pass over you, and the
plague shall not be upon you to
destroy you, when I smite the
land of Egypt.
14 And this day shall be unto you
for a memorial ; and ye shall keep
it a feast to the Lord throughout
your generations: ye shall keep it
a feast by an ordinance for ever.
15 Seven days shall ye eat \m-
leavened bread ; even the first day
ye shall put away leaven out of
your houses: for whosoever eat-
eth leavened bread from the first
day until the seventh day, that
soul shall be cut off from Israel.
10 And in the first day there shall
be a holy convocation, and in the
seventh day there shall be a holy
convocation to you ; no manner of
work shall be done in them, save
that which every man mu.st eat,
that only may be done of you.
17 And ye shall observe the feast
of unleavened bread ; for in this
selfsame day have I brought your
annies out of the land of Egypt:
therefore shall ye observe this
day in your generations by an
ordinance for ever.
158
18 In the first month, on the I
fourteenth day of the mouth at
even, ye shall eat unleavened
bread, until the one and twenti-
eth day of the month at even.
19 Seven days shall there be no
leaven found in your houses: for
whosoever eateth that which is
leavened, even that soul shall be
cut off from the congregation of
Israel, whether he be a stranger,
or born in the land.
20 Ye shall eat nothing leavened ;
in all your habitations shall ye eat
unleavened bread.
29 And it came to pass, that at
midnight the Lord smote all the
firstborn in the land of Egypt,
from the firstborn of Pharaoh that
sat on his throne unto the firstborn
of the captive that was in the
dungeon ; and all the firstborn of
30 And Pharaoh rose up in the
night, he. and all his servants, and
all the Egyptians; and there was
a great cry in Egypt: for there
was not a house where there was
not one dead.
31 And he called for Moses and
Aaron by night, and said. Rise up,
and get you forth from among my
people, both ye and the children
of Israel ; and go, serve the Lord,
as ye have said.
32 Also take your flocks and
your herds, as ye have said, and
be gone : and bless me also.
33 And the Egyptians were ur-
gent upon the people, that they
might send them out of the land
in haste ; for they said, We be all
dead men. , , , .
31 And the people took their
dough before it was leavened,
their kneadingtroughs being
bound up in their clothes upon
their shoulders.
35 And the children of Israel did
according to the word of Moses;
and they borrowed of the Egyp-
tians jewels of silver, and jewels
of gold, and raiment:
36 And the Lord gave the peo-
ple favour in the sight of the
Egyptians, so that they lent unto
the'm such things as they required :
and they spoiled the Egyptians.
37 And the children of Israel
journeyed from Rameses to Suc-
coth, about six hundred thousand
on foot that were men, beside
children.
38 And a mixed multitude went
up also with them ; and flocks, and
herds, even very much cattle.
39 And they baked unleavened
cakes of the dough they brought
out of Egypt, for it was not leav-
ened; because they were thrust
out of Egypt, and could not tarry,
neither had they prepared for
themselves any victuals.
40 Now the sojourning of the
children of Israel, who dwelt in
Egjypt, was four hundi-ed and
thirty years.
41 And it came to pass at the end
of the four hundred and thirty
years, even the selfsame day, that
all the hosts of the Lord went out
from the land of Egypt.
(Ps. 105—37 He brought them
forth also with silver and gold:
and there was not one feeble per-
son among their tribes.)
42 It is a night to be much ob-
served unto the Lord for bringing
them out from the land of Egypt :
this is that night of the Lord to
be observed of all the children of
Israel in their generations.
43 And the Lord said unto Moses
and Aaron, This is the ordinance
of the passover: There shall no
stranger eat thereof:
44 But every man's servant that
is bought for money, when thou
hast cii'cumcised him, then shall
he eat thereof.
45 A foreigner and a hired ser-
vant shall not eat thereof.
46 In one house shall it be eaten ;
thou shalt not carry forth aught
of the flesh abroad out of the
house; neither shall ye break a
bone thereof.
47 All the congregation of Israel
shall keep it.
48 And when a stranger shall so-
journ with thee, and will keep the
passover to the Lord, let all his
males be circumcised, and then
let him come near and keep it;
and he shall be as one that is born
in the land: for no uncircumcised
person shall eat thereof.
50 Thus did all the children of
Israel; as the Lord commanded.
51 And the same day, the Lord
did bring the children of Israel
out of Egypt by their armies.
The children of Israel passed
through the Red Sea and into the
wilderness. Pharaoh and his
armv pursued after them, and
were drowned in the Red Sea.
159
Ex. 13—17 And it came to pass,
when Pharaoh had let the peo-
ple go, that God led them not
through the way of the land of the
Philistines, although that was
near; for God said, Lest perad ven-
ture the people repent when they
see war, and they return to Egypt :
18 But God led the people about,
through the way of the wilder-
ness of the Red sea: and the chil-
dren of Israel went up harnessed
out of the land of Egypt.
20 And they took their jour-
ney from Succoth, and encamped
in Etham, in the edge of the wil-
derness.
21 And the Lord went before
them by day in a pillar of a cloud,
to lead them the way; and by
night in a pillar of tire, to give
them light; to go by day and
night.
22 He took not away the pillar
of the cloud by day, nor the pillar
of fire by night, from before the
people.
Ex. 14—5 And it was told the
king of Egypt that the people
fled: and the heart of Pharaoh
and of his servants was turned
Wainst the people, and they said,
hy have we done this, that we
have let Israel go from serving us?
6 And he made ready his char-
iot, and took his people with him:
7 And he took six hvuidred
chosen chariots, and all the char-
iots of Egypt, and captains over
every one of them.
8 And the Lord hardened the
heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt,
and he pursued after the children
of Israel: and the children of Is-
rael went out with a high hand.
9 But the Egyptians pursued
after them, all the horses and
chariots of Pharaoh, and his horse-
men, and his army, and overtook
them encamping by the sea.
10 And when Pharaoh drew
nigh, the children of Israel lifted
up their eyes, and, behold, the
Egyptians marched after them;
and they were sore afraid: and
the children of Israel cried out
unto the Lord.
11 And they saidyunto Moses,
Because there were no graves in
Egypt, hast thou taken us away
to die in the wilderness? where-
fore hast thou dealt thus with us,
to carry us forth out of Egypt?
12 Is not this the word' that we
did tell thee in Egypt, saying.
Let us alone, that we may serve
the Egyptians? For it had been
better for us to serve the Egyp-
tians, than that we should die in
the wilderness.
13 And Moses said imto the
people. Fear ye not, stand still,
and see the salvation of the Lord,
which he will shew to you to day:
for the Egyptians whom ye have
seen to day, ye shall see them,
again no more for ever.
14 The Lord shall tight for you,
and ye shall hold your peace.
19 And the Angel of God, which
went before the camp of Israel,
removed and went behind them ;
and the pillar of the cloud went
from before their face, and stood
behind them :
20 And it came between the
camp of the Egyptians and the
camp of Israel; and it was a
cloud and darkness to them, but
it gave light by night to these:
so that the one came not near the
other all the night.
21 And Moses stretched out his
hand over the sea ; and tbe Lord
caused the sea to go back by a
strong east wind all that night,
and made the sea dry land, and
the waters were divided.
22 And the children of Israel
went into the midst of the sea
upon the dry ground: and the
waters were a wall unto them on
their right hand, and on their
left.
23 And the Egyptians pursued,
and went in after them to the
midst of the sea, even all Pha-
raoh's horses, his chariots, and
his horsemen.
26 And the Lord said unto
Moses, Stretch out thine hand
over the sea, that the waters may
come again upon the Egyptians,
upon their cnariots, and upon
their horsemen.
27 And Moses stretched forth
his hand over the sea, and the
sea returned to his strength when
the morning appeared; and the
Egyptians tied against it ; and the
Lord overthrew the Egyptians in
the midst of the sea.
28 And the waters returned,
and covered the chariots, and
the horsemen, and all the host of
Pharaoh that came into the sea
after them; there remained not
so much as one of them.

29 But the children of Israel
■walked upon dry laud in the
midst of the sea ; aud the waters
were a wall uuto them ou theii-
right haud, aud ou theh left.
30 Thus the Lohd saved Israel
that day out of the haud of the
Egyptians ; aud Israel Siiw the
Egyptians dead upon the sea
shore.
31 Aud Israel saw that great
work which the Lord did upon
the Egvptiaus: aud the people
ieared the Lord, aud believed
the Lord, and his servant Moses.
Ex. 15—1 Theu sang Moses aud
the children of Israel this song
mito the Lord, aud spake, say-
ing, I will slug luito the Lord, tor
he hath triumphed gloriously:
the horse and his rider hath he
throwu into the sea.
•20 Aud Mu-iam the prophetess,
the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel
in her haud , aud all the women
went out after her with timbrels
aud with dances.
•Ji Aud Miriam answe.'-ed them.
Sing ye to the Lord, for he hath
triuuiphed gloriously: the hor.se
and his rider hath he throwu into
the sea.
2-2 So Closes brought Israel from
the Red sea, aud they went out
iuto the wilderness of Shur; and
they weut three days in the wil-
derness, aud foimd uo water.
23 Aud wheu they came to
Marah. they could uot druik of
the watere of Marah, for they
were bitter; therefore the name
of it was called Marah.
24 Aud the people uuu-mm'ed
against Moses, sayiug. What shall
we drink?
25 Aud he cried unto the Lord :
and the Lord shewed him a tree,
which when he had cast iuto the
watei-s, the waters were made
sweet: there he made for them
a statute aud an ordinance, and
there he proved them.
2(3 Aud said. If thou wilt dili-
geutly hearken to the voice of
the Lord thy God, aud wilt do
that which is right in his sight,
aud wilt give ear to his com-
maudmeuts, aud keep all his stat-
utes, I will put noue of these dis-
eases upon thee, which I have
brought upon the Egyptians: for
I am the Lord that healeth thee.
27 Aud they came to Elim,
where were twelve wells of water.
aud threescore and ten palm
trees: aud they eucamped there
by the waters. Nu. 33. 9. p. 301.
After forty years of wauderiug
in the wilderness, aud about
thhty days before his deatti, Mt>-
ses gave the following comuu\ud-
ments to the children of Israel,
excepting Le. 26, following, which
was given in the tii-st or second
year after they left Egypt.
De. S— 7 The Lord thv God
bringeth thee iuto a good laud, a
laud of brooks of water, of fouu-
tains aud depths that spring out
of valleys and hills;
S A laud of wheat and barley,
aud vines, aud tig trees, aud
pomegranates: a laud of oil olive,
and honey:
9 A land wherein thou shalt eat
bread without S(.nirceness, thou
shalt uot lack any thiug in it ; a
laud whose stones are u-on, and
out of whose hills thou mayest
dig brass.
10 When thou hast eateu and
art full, theu thou shalt bless the
Lord thy God for the good land
which he hath giveu thee.
11 Beware that thou foi"get not
the Lord thy God, iu uot keepiug
his commandments, aud his judg-
meuts. aud his stattites, which I
command thee this day:
12 Lest, when thou hast eateu
and art full, and hast built goodly
hovises. and dwell therein ;
13 Aud when thy herds and thy
flocks! multiply, aud thy silver
and thy gold IS multiplied, aud all
that thou hast is mtiltiplied ;
14 Then thiue heart be lifted up.
aud thou forgot the Lord thy
God, which brought thee forth
out of the land of Egypt, fi-om
the house of bondage.
De. 9 — 4 8peak not thou in thine
heart, after that the Lord thy
God hath cast them out from be-
fore thee, sayiug. For my right-
eousness the Lord hath brought
me m to possess this land :
5 Not for thy righteousness, or
for th uprightness of thuie heart,
dost thou go to possess their laud :
but for the wickedness of these
nations the Lord thy God doth
drive them out fi-om hefore thee,
aud that he may perform the
word which the Lord sware unto
thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob.
161
G Understand therefore, that the
LoKD thy God gi veth thee not this
go<jd land to possess it for thy
righteousness ; for thou art a stiff-
necked people.
De. 11—8 Therefore shall ye keep
all the commandments which I
command you this day, that ye
may he strong, and go in and pos-
sess the land, whither ye go to
possess it :
9 And that ye may prolong yoiir
days in the land, which the Lord
sware unto your fathers to give
unto them and to their seed.a land
that tloweth with milk and honey.
10 For the land, whither thou
goest in to possess it, is not as the
land of Egypt, from whence ye
came out, where thou sowedst thy
seed, and wateredst it with thy
foot^as a garden of herbs:
11 But the laud, whither ye go to
possess it. is a land of hills and
valleys, and drinketh water of the
rain of heaven :
12 A laud which the Lord thy
God careth for: the eyes of the
Lord thy God are always upon it,
from the beginning of the year
even unto the end. Nu. 35. 34, p.
213 ; De. 23. 14, p. 234.
The blessings for obedience, and
the terrible and inhuman curses
for disobedience.
Le. 26—1 Ye shall make you no
idols nor graven image, neither
rear you up a standing image,
neither shall ye set up any image
of stone in your land, to bow down
unto it : lor I am the Lord your
God.
2 IF Ye shall keep my sabbaths,
and reverence my sanctuary : I am
the Lord.
3 IT If ye walk in my statutes,
and keep my commandments, and
do them ;
4 Then I will give you rain in
due season, and the land shall
yield her increase, and the trees of
the field shall yield their fruit.
5 And your threshing shall reach
unto the vintage, and the vintage
shall reach unto the sowing time:
and ye shall eat your bread to the
full, and dwell in your land safely.
6 And I will give peace in the
land, and ye shall lie down, and
none shall make you afraid : and i
will rid evil beastsout of the land,
neither shall the sword go through
your land.
7 And ye shall chase your ene-
mies, and tliey sliall fall before
you by the sword.
8 And five of you shall chase a
hundred, and a hundred of you
sliall put ten thousand to flight:
and your enemies shall fall before
you by the sword.
9 For I will have respect unto
you, and make you fruitful, and
multiply you, and establish my
covenant with you.
10 And ye shall eat old store,
and bring forth the old because of
the new.
11 And I will set my tabernacle
amongyou: and my soul shall not
abhor you.
12 And I will walk among you,
and will be your God, and ye shall
be my people.
13 I am the Lord your God,
which brought you forth out of
the land of Egypt, that ye should
not be their bondmen ; and I have
broken the bands of^ your yoke,
and made you go upright.
14 H But if ye will not hearken
unto me, and will not do all these
commandments ;
15 And if ye shall despise my
.statutes, or if your soul abhor my
judgments, so that ye will not do
all my commandments,
16 I also will do this unto you;
I will even appoint over you tei^
ror, consumption, and the burn-
ing ague, that shall consume the
eyes, and cause soitow of heart:
and ye shall sow yourseedinvain,
for your enemies shall eat it.
17 And I will set my face against
you, and ye shall be slain before
your enemies: they that hate you
shall reign over you ; and ye shall
tlee when none pursueth you.
18 And if ye will not yet for all
this hearken unto me, then I will
punish you seven times more for
your sins.
19 And 1 will break the pride of
your power ; and I will make your
heaven as iron, and your earth as
brass:
20 And your strength shall be
spent in vain: for your land shall
not yield her increase, neither
shall the trees of the land yield
their fruits.
21 H And if ye walk contrary
unto me, and will not hearken un-
to me; I will bring seven times
more plagues upon you according
to your sins.
162
22 I will also send wild beasts
among you, which shall rob you
of your children, and destroy your
cattle, and make you few in num-
ber ; and your high ways shall be
desolate.
23 And if ye will not be reform-
ed by me by these things, but will
walk contrary unto me ;
24 Then will I also walk contrary
unto you, and will punish you yet
seven times for your sins.
25 And I will bring a sword upon
you, that shall avenge the quarrel
of my covenant : and when ye are
gathered together within your
cities, I will send the pestilence
among you ; and ye shall be deliv-
ered into the hand of the enemy.
26 And when I have broken the
staff of yoiir bread, ten women
shall bake your bread in one oven,
and they shall deliver you your
bread again by weight: and ye
shall eat, and not be satisfied.
27 And if ye will not for all this
hearken unto me, but walk con-
trary \uito me ;
28 Then I will walk contrary
unto you also in fury ; and I, even
I, will chastise you seven times
for your sins.
29 And ye shall eat the flesh of
your sons, and the flesh of your
daughters shall ye eat. 2 Ki. 6. 28,
p. 83.
30 And I will destroy your high
places, and cut down your images,
and cast your carcasses upon the
carcasses of your idols, and my
soul shall abhor you.
31 And I will make yoiir cities
waste, and bring your sanctuaries
unto desolation, and J will not
smell the savour of your sweet
odours.
32 And I will bring the land
into desolation : and your enemies
which dwell therein shall be as-
tonished at it
33 And I will scatter you among
the heathen, and will draw out a
sword after you: and your land
shall be desolate, and your cities
waste. 2 Ki. 25, p. 34.
34 Then shall the land enjoy her
sabbaths, as long as it lieth deso-
late, and ye be in your enemies'
land; even then shall the land
rest, and enjoy her sabbaths. Le.
25, p. 68.
35 As long as it lieth desolate it
shall rest; because it did not rest
in your sabbaths when ye dwelt
upon it.
36 And upon them that are left
alive of you I will send a faintness
into their hearts in the lands of
their enemies; and the sound of a
shaken leaf shall chase them ; and
they shall flee, as fleeing from a
sword; and they shall fall when
nonepursueth.
37 And they shall fall one upon
another, as it were before a sword,
when none pursueth: and ye shall
have no power to stand before
your enemies.
38 And ye shall perish among the
heathen, and the land of your en-
emies shall eat you up.
39 And they that are left of you
shall pine away in their iniquity
in your enemies' lands; and also
in the iniquities of their fathers
shall they pine away with them.
40 If they shall confess their in-
iquity, and the iniquity of their
fathers, with their trespass which
they trespassed against me, and
that also they have walked con-
trary unto me ;
41 And that I also have walked
contrary unto them, and have
brought them into the land of
their enemies; if then their un-
circumcised hearts be humbled,
and they then accept of the pun-
ishment of their iniquity :
42 Then will I remember my
covenant with Jacob, and also my
covenant with Isaac, and also
my covenant with Abraham will
I remember; and I will remember
the land.
43 The land also shall be left of
them, and shall enjoy her sab-
baths, while she lieth desolate
without them : and they shall ac-
cept of the punishment of their
iniquity; because, even because
they despised my judgments, and
because their soul abhorred my
statutes.
44 And yet for all that, when
they be in the landof their ene-
mies, I will not cast them away,
neither will I abhor them, to de-
stroy them utterly, and to break
my covenant with them : for I am
the Lord their God.
45 But I will for their sakes re-
member the covenant of their an-
cestors, whom I brought forth out
of the land of Egypt.
46 These are the statutes and
judgments and laws, which the
LoKD made between him and the
children of Israel in mount Sinai
by the hand of Moses.

De. 28—1 And it shall come to
pass, if thou shalt hearken dili-
gently unto the voice of tlie Lord
thy God, to observe and to do all
his commandments which I com-
mand thee this day, that the Lokd
thy God will set thee on high
above all nations of the earth :
2 And all these blessings shall
come on thee, and overtake thee,
if thou shalt hearken unto the
voice of the Lord thy God.
3 Blessed shalt thou be in the
city, and blessed shalt thou be in
the field.
4 Blessed shall be the fruit of
thy body, and the fruit of thy
ground, and the fruit of thy
cattle, the increase of thy kine,
and the fiocks of thy sheep.

and thy store.

thou comest in, and blessed shalt
thou be when thou goest out.

enemies that rise un against thee
to be smitten before thy face:
they shall come out against thee
one way, and flee before thee
seven ways.
8 The Lord shall command the
blessing upon thee in thy store-
houses, and in all that thou set-
test thine hand unto ; and he shall
bless thee in the laud which the
Lord thy God givetli thee. Is. C5. 8,
Eze. 34. 26. p. 15.
9 The Lord shall establish thee
a holy people unto himself, as he
hath sworn unto thee, if thou
shalt keep the commandments of
the Lord thy God, and walk in
his ways.
10 And all people of the earth
shall see that thou art called
by the name of the Lord; and
they shall be afraid of thee.
11 And the Lord shall make
thee plenteous in goods, in the
fruit of thy body, and in the fruit
of thy cattle, and in the fruit of
thy ground, in the land which the
Lord sware unto thy fathers to
give thee.
12 The Lord shall open unto
thee his good treasure, the heaven
to give tlie rain unto thy land in
his season, and to bless all the
work of thine hand: and thou
shalt lend unto many nations, and
thou shalt not borrow.
13 And the Lord shall make
thee the head, and not the tail :
and thou shalt be above only, and
thou shalt not be beneath ; if that
thou hearken unto the command-
ments of the Lord thy God,
which I command thee this day.
to observe and to do them :
14 And thou shalt not go aside
from any of the words which I
command thee this day, to the
right hand, or to the left, to go
after other gods to serve them.
15 H But it shall come to pass,
if thou wilt not hearken unto the
voice of the Lord thy God, to ob-
serve to do all his commandments,
and his statutes which I command
thee this day; that all these
cur.ses shall come upon thee, and
overtake thee :
16 Cursed shalt thou be in the
city, and cursed shalt thou be in
the field.
17 Cursed shall be thy basket
and thy store.
18 Cursed shall be the fruit of
thy body, and the fruit of thy
land, the increase of thy kine,
and the flocks of thy sheep.
19 Cursed shalt thou be when
thou comest in, and cursed shalt
thou be when thou goest out.
20 The Lord shall send upon
thee cursing, vexation, and re-
buke, in all that thou settest
thine hand unto for to do, until
thou be destroyed, and until thou
perish quickly; because of the
wickedness of thy doings, where-
by thou hast forsaken me.
21 The Lord shall make the
pestilence cleave unto thee, until*
he have consumed thee from off
the land, whither thou goest to
possess it.
22 The Lord shall smite thee
with a consumption, and with a
fever, and with an inflammation,
and with an extreme burning, and
with the sword, and with blast-
ing, and with mildew ; and they
shall pursue thee until thou
perish.
23 And thy heaven that is over
thy head shall be brass, and the
earth that is under thee shall be
iron.
24 The Lord shall make the
rain of thy land powder and dust:
from heaven shall it come down
upon thee, until thou be de-
stroyed.
25 The Lord shall cause thee
to be smitten before thine ene-
mies: thou shalt go out one
way against them, and flee seven
ways liefore them; and shalt be
164
lemoTed into all the kingdoms of
the earth.
•^6 And thy carcass shall be
meat unto all fowls of the air. and
njiTO the beasts of the earth, and
no man shall fray them away.
27 The Lord will smite thee
-with the botch of Egypt, and with
the emerods, and with the scab,
and with the itch, whereot thou
canst not be healed.
-28 The LOED shall smite thee
-with madness, and blindness, and
astonishment of heart :
29 And thoii shalt grope at
noondav, as the blind gropeth in
darkness, and thou shalt not pros-
per in thy ways: and thou shalt
be oppressed and spoiled ever-
more, and no man shall save thee.
30 Thou shalt betroth a wife,
and another man shall lie with
her: thou shalt build a house,
and thou shalt not dwell therein :
thou shalt plant a vineyard, and
shalt not gather the grapes
thereof. , .
31 Thine ox shall be slam be-
fore thine eves, and thou shalt not
eat thereof: thme ass shall be vio-

■unto thine enemies, and thou
shalt have none to rescue them.
32 Thv sons and thy daughters

ple, and thine eyes shall look.
and fail with longing for them
• all the dav long: and there shall
be no might in thine hand.
33 The fruit of thy land, and
all thv labotirs shall a nation
which 'thou knowest not eat up:
and thou shalt be only oppressed
and crushed alway : , , , ,
Si So that thou shalt be mad
for the sight of thine eyes which
thou shalt see. , . , •
a5 The Lord shall smite thee m
the knees, and in the legs, with a
sore botch that cannot be healed,
from the sole of thy foot unto the
top of thy head. , „ , . ^,
36 The Lord shall hrmg thee,
and thy king which thou shalt set
over thee, vmto a nation which
neither thou nor thy fathers have
known; and there shalt thou
serve other gods, wood and stone.
37 And thou shalt become an
astonishment, a proverb, and a
bvword, among all nations whith-
er the Lord shall lead thee.
38 Thou shalt carry much seed
out into the field, and shalt
gather but little in; for the lo-
cust shall consume it.
39 Thou shalt plant vmeyards,
and dress them, but shalt neither
drink of the wine, nor gather the
grapes ; for the worms shall eat
them.
40 Thou shalt have olive trees
throughout all thy coasts, but
thou shalt not anoint thyself with

his fruit. , ,

thee shall get up above thee very
high: and thou shalt comedown
very low. , , ,
44 He shall lend to thee, and
thou shalt not lend to him: he
shall be the head, and thou shalt
be the tail.
45 Moreover all these cnrses
shall come upon thee, and shall
pursue thee, and overtake thee,
till thou be destroyed; because
thou hearkenedst not mito the
voice of the Lord thy God, to
keep his commandments and his
statutes which he commanded
46 And thev shall be upon thee
for a sign and for a wonder, and
upon thy seed for ever.
47 Because thou servedst not
the Lord thy God with joyful-
ness. and with gladness of heart,
for the abimdance of all thmgs:
48 Therefore shalt thou ser\-e
thine enemies, which the Lord
shall send against thee, m htinger.
and in thirst, and in nakedness,
and in want of all things: and he
shall put a yoke of iron upon thv
neck, until he have destroyed
thee. ,,,,_•
49 The Lord shall hrmg a na-
tion against thee from far, faom
the end of the earth, as swift as
the eagle tiieth: a nation whose
tongue thou shalt not imderstaud.
50 A nation of tierce counte-
nance, which shall not regard the
person of the old, nor shew favour
tothevoung. 2 Chr. 36. 17. p. 6.
51 Aiid he shall eat the fruit of
thv cattle, and the fruit of thy
lahd, mitil thou be destroyed:
16fi
which also shall not leave thee
either com, wiue, or oil, or the iu-
crease of thy kine.or tlocks of thy
sheep, until he have destroyed
thee.
52 And he shall besiege thee in
all thy gates, until thy high and
fenced walls come down, wherein
thoii tnistedst, throughout all thy
land : and he shall besiege thee in
all thy gates throughout all thy
laud, which the Lord thy God
hath given thee.
53 And thou shalt eat the fruit
of thine own body, the flesh of
thy sons and of thy daughters,
which the Lokd thy God hath
given thee, in the siege, and in the
straitness, wherewith thine ene-
mies shall distressthee. 2 Ki. 6. 28,
p. 83.
54 So that the man that is tender
among you, and very delicate, his
eye shall be evil toward his broth-
er, and toward the wife of his
bosom, and toward the remnant
of his children which he shall
leave:
55 So that he will not give to any
of them of the flesh of his children
whom he shall eat: because he
hath nothing left him in the siege,
and in the straitness, wherewith
thine enemies shall distress thee
in all thy gates.
56 The tender and delicate wo-
man among you, which would not
adventure to set the sole of her
foot upon the ground for delicate-
ness and tenderness, her eye .'^hall
be evil toward the husband of her
bosom, and toward her son, and
toward her daughter,
57 And toward her yoimg one
that Cometh out from between
her feet, and toward her children
which she shall bear : for .she shall
eat them for want of all things
secretly in the siege and strait-
ness, where with thine enemy shall
distress thee in thy gates.
58 If thou wilt not observe to do
all the words of this law that are
written in this book, that thou
mavest fear this glorious and
fearful name, THE LORD THY
GOD:
59 Then the Lord will make
thy plagues wonderful, and the
plagues of thy seed, even great
plagues, and of long continuance,
and sore sicknesses, and of long
continuance.
60 Moreover, he will bring upon
thee all the diseases of Egypt,
which thou wast afraid of; and
they shall cleave unto thee.
Cl Also every sickness, and every
Elague, which is not written in the
ooK of this law, them will the
Lord bring upon thee, until thou
be destroyed.
62 And ye shall be left few in
number, whereas ye were as the
stars of heaven for multitude; be-
cause thou wouldest not obey the
voice of the Lord thy God.
63 And it shall come to pass, that
as the Lord rejoiced over you to
do you good, and to multiply you ;
so the Lord will rejoice over you
to destroy you, and to bring you
to nought ; and ye shall be plucked
from off the land whither thoa
goest to possess it.
64 And the Lord shall scatter
thee among all people, from the
one end of the earth even unto the
other; and there thou shalt serve
other gods, which neither thou
nor thy fathers have known, even
wood and stone.
65 And among these nations
shalt thou find no ease, neither
shall the soul of thy foot have
rest: but the Lord shall give
thee there a trembling heart, and
failing of eyes, and sorrow of
mind :
66 And thy life shall hang in
doubt before thee; and thou shalt
fear day and night, and shalt have^
none assurance of thy life :
67 In the morning thou shalt
say, Would God it were even ! and
at even thou shalt say. Would
God it were morning ! for the fear
of thine heart wherewith thou
shalt fear, and for the sight of
thine eyes which thou shalt see.
08 And the Lord shall bring
thee into Egypt again with ships,
by the way whereof I spake unto
thee. Thou shalt see it no move
again: and there ye shall be sold
unto your enemies for bondmen
and bondwomen, and no man shall
buy you.

De. 30—1 And it shall come to
pass, when all these things are
come upon thee, the blessing and
the curse, whicli I have set before
thee, and thou shalt call them to
mind among all the nations,
whither the Lord thy God hath
•driven thee,
2 And shalt return unto the
Lord thy God, and shalt obey his
voice according to all that I com-
mand thee this day, thou and thy
children, with all thine heart, and
with all thy soul ;
3 That then the Lord thy God
will turn thy captivity, and have
compassion upon thee, and will re-
tru-n and gather thee from all the
nations, whither the Lord thy
God hath scattered thee.
4 If any of thine be driven out
Tinto the outmost parts of heaven,
from thence will the Lord thy
God gat her thee, and from thence
will he fetch thee:
5 And the Lord thy God will
bring thee into the land which
thy fathers possessed, and thou
shalt possess it; and he will do
thee good, and multiply thee
above thy fathers.
6 And the Lord thy God will
cii'cumcise thine heart, and the
heart of thy seed, to love the Lord
thy God with all thine heart, and
with all thy soul, that thou may-
est live.
7 And the Lord thy God will
put all these curses upon thine en-
emies, and on them that hate
thee, which persecuted thee.
8 And thou shalt return and
obey the voice of the Lord, and
do all his commandments which I
command thee this day.
9 And the Lord thy God will
make thee plenteotxs in every
work of thine hand, in the fniit of
thy body, and in the fruit of thy
cattle, and in the fruit of thy laud,
for good: for the Lord will" again
rejoice over thee for good, as he
rejoiced over thy fathers:
10 If thou shalt hearken unto
the voice of the Lord thy God, to
keep his commandments and his
statutes which are written in this
book of the law, and if thou turn
unto the Lord thy God with all
thine heart, and with all thvsoul.
11 IT For this commandment
which I command thee this day,
it is not hidden from thee, neither
is it far off.
12 It is not in heaven, that thou
shouldest say, Who shall go up for
us to heaven, and bring itimto us,
that we may hear it, and do it?
13 Neither is it beyond the sea,
that thou shouldest say, Wlio shall
go over the sea for us, and bring it
unto us, that we may hear it, and
doit?
14 But the word isvery nigh un-
to thee, in thy mouth, and m thy
heart, that thou mayest do it.
15 II See, I have set before thee
this day life and good, and death
and evil ;
16 In that I command thee this
day to love the Lord thy God, to
walk in his ways, and to keep his
commandments, and his statutes,
and his judgments, that thou
mayest live and multiply : and the
Lord thy God shall bless thee in
the land whither thou goest to
possess it.
17 But if thine heart turn away,
so that thou wilt not hear, but
shalt be drawn away, and worship
other gods, and serve them ;
18 1 denounce unto you this day,
that ye shall surely perish, and
that ye shall not prolong your days
upon the land, whither thou pass-
est over Jordan to go to possess it.
19 I call heaven and earth to re-
cord this day against you, that I
have set before you life and death,
blessing and cursing: therefore
choose life, that both thou and
thy seed may live:
20 That thou miayest love the
Lord thy God, and that thou
mayest obey his voice, and that
tbou mayest cleave unto him: for
he is thy life, and the length of
thy days: that thou mayest dwell
in the land which the Lord sware
unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to
Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
De. 31—1 And Moses went and
spake these words unto all Israel.
2 And he said unto them, I am
a hmidred and twenty years old
this day; I can no more go out
and come in: also the Lord hath
said unto me. Thou shalt not go
over this Jordan.
3 The Lord thy God, he will go
over before thee, and he will de-
stroy these nations from before
thee, and thou shalt possess them :
and Joshua, he shall go over be-
fore thee, as the Lord hath said.
7 And Moses called unto
Joshua, and said unto him in the
167
siglit of all Israel, Be strong and
ot a good courage : for thou must
go with this people unto the land
which the Lord hath sworn unto
their>fathers to give them ; and
thou shalt cause them to inherit it.
14 And the Lord said unto
Moses, Behold, thy days approach
that thou must die: call Joshua,
and present yourselves iu the tab-
ernacle of the congregation, that
I may give him a charge. And
Moses and Joshua went, and pre-
sented themselves in the taberna-
cle of the congregation.
15 And the Lord appeared in the
tabernacle in a pillar of a cloud:
and the pillar of the cloud stood
over the door of the tabernacle.
16 And the Lord said unto
Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep
with thy fathers ; and this people
will rise up, and go a whoring
after the gods of the strangers
of the land, whither they go to
be among them, and will forsake
me, and break my covenant which
I have made with them.
17 Then my anger shall be kin-
dled against them in that day, and
I will forsake them, and I will
hide my face from them, and they
shall be devoured, and many evils
and troublesshall befall them ; so
that they will say in that day. Are
not these evils come upon us, be-
cause our God is not among us?
De. 32—48 And the Lord spake
unto Moses that selfsame day, say-
ing,
49 Get thee up into this moun-
tain Abarim, luito mount Nebo,
which is in the land of Moab, that
is over against Jericho; and be-
hold the land of Canaan, which I
f:ive unto the children of Israel
or a possession:
50 And die in the mount whither
thou goest up, and be gathered
unto thy people; as Aaron thy
brother died in mount Hor, and
was gathered unto his people:
Nu. 33. 38, 39, p. 357.
51 Because ye trespassed against
me among the children of Israel
at the waters of Meribah-Kadesh,
ill the wilderness of Zin ; because
ye sanctified me not in the midst
of the children of Israel. Nu. 20.
12, 13, p. 303.
52 Yet thou shalt see the land
before thee ; but thou shalt not go
thither unto the land which I
give the children Qf Israel.
De. 34—1 And Moses went up
from the plains of Moab unto the
mountain of Nebo, to the top of
Pisgah, that is over against Jeri-
cho: and the Lord shewed him
all the land of Gilead, unto Dan,
2 And all Naphtali, and the land
of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and
all the land of Judah, unto the
utmost sea,
3 And the south, and the plain
of the valley of Jericho, the city
of palm trees, unto Zoar.
4 And the Lord said imto him.
This is the land which I sware
unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and
imto Jacob, saying, I will give it
unto thy seed : I have caused thee
to see it with thine eyes, but thou
shalt not go over thither.
5 So Moses the servant of the
Lord died there in the land of
Moab, according to the word of
the Lord.
6 And he buried him in a valley
in the land of Moab, over against
Beth-peor: but no man knoweth
of his sepulchre unto this day.
7 And Moses was a hundred
and twenty years old when he
died: his eye was not dim, nor
his natural force abated.
8 And the children of Israel
wept for Moses in the plains of
Moab thu'ty days: so the days of
weeping and mourning for Moses
were ended.
9 And Joshua was full of the
spirit of wisdom ; for Moses had
laid his hands upon him : and the
children of Israel hearkened unto
him, and did as the Lord com-
manded Moses. Nu. 27, p. 125.
10 And there arose not a prophet
since in Israel like mito Moses,
whom the Lord knew face to
face,
11 In all the signs and the won-
ders which the Lord sent him
to do in the land of Egypt, to Pha-
raoh, and to all his servants, and
to all his land,
12 And in all that mighty hand,
and in all the great terror which
Moses shewed in the sight of all
Israel.
Nu. 33—50 And the Lord had
spoken unto Moses in the plains of
Moab by Jordan near Jericho,
saying.
51 bpeak unto the children of
Israel, and say mito them. When
ye are passed over Jordan into the
laud 01 Canaan :
168
52 Then ye shall drive out all
the inhabitants of the land fi-om
before you, and destroy all their
pictui-es, and destroy all their
molten images, and quite pluck
down all their high places:
53 And ye shall dispossess the
inhabitants of the land, and
dwell therein: for 1 have given
you the land to possess it.
54 And ye shall divide the land
by lot for an inheritance among
your families ; and to the more ye
shall give the more inheritance,
and to the fewer ye shall give
the less inheritance: every man's
inheritance shall be in the place
where his lot falleth; according
to the tribes of your fathers ye
shall inherit.
55 But if ye will not drive out
the inhabitants of the land from
before you; then it shall come
to pass, that those which ye let
remain of them shall be pricks in
ypur eyes, and thorns in your
sides, and shall vex you in the
land wherein ye dwell.
56 Moreover it shall come to
fass, that I shall do unto you, as
thought to do unto them.
Joshua, at the Lord's command,
led the children of Israel into the
Promised Land.
Jos. 1—1 Now after the death of
Moses the servant of the Lord, it
came to pass that the Lord spake
unto Joshua the son of Nun, Mo-
ses' minister, sayiug,
2 Moses my servant is dead;
now therefore arise, go over this
Jordan, thou, and all this people,
unto the land which I do give to
them, even to the children of
Israel.
3 Every place that the sole of
your foot shall tread upon, that
have I given unto you, as I said
tmto Moses.
4 From the wilderness and this
Lebanon even unto the great riv-
er, the river Euphrates, all the
land of the Hittites, and unto the
great sea toward the going down
of the sun, shall be your coast.
5 There shall not any man be
able to stand before thee all the
days of thy life: as I was with
Moses, so I will be with thee: I
will not fail thee, nor forsake
thee.
6 Be strong and of a good cour-
age : for imto this people shalt I
thou divide for an inheritance
the land, which I sware unto
their fathers to give them.
10 Then Joshua commanded the
officers of the people, saying.
11 Pass through the host, and
command the people, saying.
Prepare you victuals; for within
three days ye shall pass over this
Jordan, to go in to possess the
land, which the Lord your God
giveth you to possess it.
12 And to the Reubenites, and
to the Gadites. and to half the
tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua,
saying,
13 Remember the word which
Moses the servant of the Lord
commanded you, saying. The
Lord your God hath given you
rest, and hath given you this
land.
14 Your wives, your little ones,
and your cattle, shall remain in
the land wliich Moses gave vou
on this side Jordan ; but ye shall
pass before your brethren armed,
all the mighty men of valour,
and help them ;
15 Until the Lord have given
your brethren rest, as he hath
given you, and they also have
possessed the land which the
Lord your God giveth them : then
ye shall return unto the land of
your possession, and enjoy it,
which Moses the Lord's servant
gave you on this side Jordan
toward the sunrising.
16 And they answered Joshua,
saying. All that thou command-
est us we will do, and wliitherso-
ever thou sendest us, we will go.
Jos. 3—7 And the Lord said
unto Joshua, This day will I be-
gin to magnify thee in the sight
of all Israel, that they may know
that, as I was with Moses, so I
will be with thee.
8 And thou shalt command the
priests that bear the ark of the
covenant, saying. When ye are
come to the brmk of the water
of Jordan, ye shall stand still in
Jordan.
9 And Joshua said unto the
children of Israel, Come hither,
and hear the words of the Lord
your God.
10 And Joshua said. Hereby ye
shall know that the living: God is
among you, and that he will with-
out fail drive out from before you
the Canaanites, and the Hittites,
169
and the Hivites, and the Perizzit-
es, and the Girgashites, and the
Amorites, and the Jebusites.
11 Behold, the ark of the cove-
nant of the Lord of all the earth
passeth over before you into Jor-
dan.
13 And it shall come to pass, as
soon as the soles of the feet of tlie
Eriests tliat bear the ark of the
,ORD, the Lord of all the earth,
shall rest in the waters of Jordan,
that the waters of Jordan shall be
cut off from, the waters that come
down from above ; and they shall
stand upon a heap.
14 And it came to pass, when
the people removed from their
tents, to pass over Jordan, and the
priests bearing the ark of the cove-
nant before the people ;
15 And as they that bare the ark
were come unto Jordan, and the
feet of the priests that bear the
ark were dipped in the brim of the
water, (for Jordan overtloweth all
his banks all the time of harvest,)
16 That the waters which came
down from above stood and rose
up upon a heap very far from the
city Adam, that is beside Zare-
tan; and those that came down
toward the sea of the plain, even
the salt sea, failed, and were cut
off: and the people passed over
right against Jericho.
17 And the priests that bare the
ark of the covenant of the Lord
stood firm on dry ground in the
mid.st of Jordan, and all the Is-
raelites passed over on dry ground,
until all the people were passed
clean over Jordan.
Jos. 4—18 And when the priests
that bare the ark of the covenant
of the Lord were come up out of
the midst of Jordan, and the .soles
of the priests' feet were lifted up
unto the dry land, the waters of
Jordan returned unto their place,
and flowed over all his banks, as
they did before.
19 And the people came up out
of Jordan on the tenth day of the
first month, and encamped in Gil-
gal, in the east border of Jericho.
Jos. 5—10 And the children of Is-
rael encamped in Gilgal, and kept
the passover on the fourteenth
day of the month at even in the
plains of Jericho.
11 And they did eat of the old
corn of the land on the morrow
after the passover, unleavened
cakes, and parched com in the
selfsame day.
12 And the marma ceased on
the morrow after they had eaten
of the old corn of the land. p. 492.
Redemption of Land and Houses.
See also Le. 27. 17, Ru. 4. 4. and Je.
32. 6-12.
Le. 25—23 The land shall not be
sold forever: for the land is mine ;
for ye are strangers and sojourners
with me.
'24 And in all the land of your
possession ye shall grant a re-
demption for the land.
25 If thy brother be poor, and
hath sold away some of his pos-
session, and if any of his kin come
to i-edeem it, then shall he redeem
that which his brother sold.
26 And if the man have none to
redeem it, and himself be able to
redeem it ,
27 Then let him cotmt the years
of the sale thereof, and restore the
overplus unto the man to whom
he sold it; that he may return
unto his possession.
28 But if he be not able to re-
store it to him, then that which
is sold shall remain in the hand of
him that hath bought it until the
year of jubilee: and in the jubilee
It shall go out, and he shall return
tmto his possession.
29 And if a man sell a dwelling-
house in a walled city, then he
may redeem it within a whole year
after it is sold.
30 And if it be not redeemed
within the space of a full year,then
the house that is in the walled
city shall be established forever to
him that bought it throughout his
generations: it shall not go out in
the jubilee.
31 But the houses of the villages
which have no wall round about
them shall be counted as the fields ,
of the country: they may be re-
deemed, and they shall go out in
the jubilee.
32 Notwithstanding the cities of
the Levites, and the nouses of the
cities of their possession, may the
Levites redeem at any time.
33 And if a man purchase of the
Levites, then the house that was
sold, and the city of his possession,
shall go out in the year of jubilee :
for the houses of the cities of the
Levites are their possession among
the children of Israel.
170
34 But the field of the subm-hs of
their cities may not be sold ; for it
is their perpetual possession.
Is. 34—7 And then- land shall be
soaked with blood, and their dust
made fat with fatness.
8 For it is the day of the Lord s
vengeance, and the year of recom-
penses for the controversy of Zion.
9 And the streams thereof shall
be turned into pitch, and the dust
thereof into brimstone, and the
land thereof shall become burn-
ing pitch. .
10 it shall not be quenched night
nor day ; the smoke thereof shall
go up for ever: from generation
to generation it shall lie waste;
none shall pass through it for ever

Eze. 14—13 When the land sm-
neth against me by trespassing
grievously, then will I stretch out
mine hand upon it, and will break

cut off man and beast from it :

own souls by their righteousness,

and every one that loveth is born
of God, and knoweth God.
8 He that loveth not, knoweth
not God : for God is love.
9 In this was manifested the
love of God toward us. because
that God sent his only begotten
Son into the world, that we might
live through him.
10 Herein is love, not that we
loved God. but that he loved us,
and sent his Son to be the propi-
tiation for our sins.
II Beloved, if God so loved us,
we ought also to love one another.
12 Neman hath seen God at any
time. If we love one another, God
dwelleth in us, and his love is
perfected in us.
15 Whosoever shall confess that
Jesus is the Sou of God. God
dwelleth m him, and he in God.
16 And we have known and be-
lieved the love that God hath to
us. God is love; and he that
dwelleth in love dwelleth in God,
and God in him. ,
17 Herein is our love made per-
fect, that we may have boldness
in the day of judgment: because
as he is, so are we in this world.
18 There is no fear in love ; but
perfect love casteth out fear: be-
cause fear hath torment. He that
feareth is not made perfect in love»
19 We love him, because he first
loved us. Fi

to the hills of frankincense.
7 Thou art all fair, my love;
there is no spot in thee.
8 Come with me from Lebanon,
mv spouse, with me from Leba-
non : look from the top of Amana,
from the top of Shenir and Her-
mon, from the lions' dens, fi-om
the mountains of the leopards.
9 Thou hast ravished my heart,
my sister, my spouse; thou hast
ravished my heart with one of
173
tbiiie eyes, with one chain of thy
neck.
10 How fair is thy love, my sis-
ter, my Hpfmse ! how much better
is thy love than wine! and the
smell of thine ointments than all
spices I
11 Thy lips, O my spouse, drop
as the honeyc<jmrj: honey ana
milk are under thy tongue; and
the smell of tliy garments is like
the smell of Lebanon, p. 113.
SS. .5—1 I am come into my gar-
den, my sister, my srKju.se : I have
fathered my myrrh with my spice :
have eaten my honeycomb with
my honey; I havednmk my wine
with my milk: eat, O friends:
drink, yea, drink abundantly, O
beloved.
21 1 sleep, but my heart waketh :
it is the voice of rny beloved that
knocketh, saying, dpen to me, my
sister, my love, my dove, my un-
defiled: for my head is filled with
dew, and my locks with the drops
of the night, p. 111.
4 My beloved put in his hand by
the hole of the door, and my bow-
els were moved for him.
5 I rose up to open to my belov-
ed ; and my hands dropj:>ed with
mjTTh, and my fingers wnth sweet
smelling myrrh, upon the handles
of the lock.
6 I opened to my beloved ; but
mv beloved had withdrawn him-
self, and was gone : mv .soul failed
when he spake: I sought him,
but I could not find him ; 1 called
him, but he gave me no answer.
7 The watchmen that went about
the city found me, they smote me,
they wounded me: the keepers of
the walls took away my vail from
me.
8 I charge you, daughters of
Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved,
that ye tell him, that I am sick of
love.
9 *J, What is thy beloved more
than another beloved, O thou fair-
est among women? what is thy
beloved more than another belov-
ed, that thou do.st so charge us?
10 My beloved is white and rud-
dy, the chiefest among ten thou-
sand.
11 His head is as the most fine
gold; his locks are bushy, and
black as a raven:
12 His eyes are as the eyes of
doves by the rivers of waters,
washed with milk, and fitly set :
13 His cheeks are as a bed of
spices, as sweet flowers: his lips
like lilies, dropping sweet smell-
ing m^Trh.
u Hi.s hands are as gold rings
set with the beryl: his nellv is as
bright ivory overlaid with sap-
phires.
irj His legs are as pillars of mar-
ble, set upon sockets of fine gold :
his countenance is as Lebanon,
excellent as the cedars:
16 His mouth is most sweet:
yea, he is altogether lovely. This
IS my beloved, and this is my
friend, O daughters of Jerasalem.
SS. 6—1 Whither is thy beloved
gone. O thou fairest among wo-
men? whither is thy beloved
turned aside? that we may seek
him with thee.
2 My beloved is gone down into
his garden, to the beds of spices,
to feed in the gardens, and to
gather lilies.
3 1 am my beloved's, and my be-
loved is mine : he f eedeth among
the lilies.
4 T Thou art beautiful, O my
love, comely asJeru.salem, terrible
as an army with banners.
6 Turn away thine eyes from
me, for they have overcome me:
thy hair is as a flock of goats that
appear from Gilead :
6 Thy teeth are as a flock of
sheep which go up from the wash-
ing, whereof every one beareth
twins, and there is not one harren
among them.
7 As a piece of a pomegranate
are thy temples within thy locks.
8 There are threescore queens,
and fourscore concubines, and vir-
gins without number.
9 My dove, my undefiled is hut
one : she is the only one of her
mother, she is the choice one of
her that bare her. The daughters
saw her, and blessed her: yea,
the queens and the concubines,
and they praised her.
10^ Who is she that looketh forth
as the morning, fair as the moon,
clear as the sun, and terrible as
an army with banners?
11 I went down into the garden
of nuts to see the fruits of the val-
ley, and to see whether the vine
flourished, and the pomegranates
budded.
12 Or ever I was aware, my soul
made me like the chariots of Am-
mi-nadib.
174
13 Return, return, O Shulamite;
Tetvirn, return, that we may look
upon thee. What will ye see in
the Shulamite? As it were the
company of two armies.
SS. 7—1 How beautiful are thy
feet with shoes, O prmce's daugh-
ter! the joints of thy thighs are
like jewels, the work of the hands
of a cunning workman.
2 Thy navel is like a round gob-
let, which wanteth not liquor:
thy belly is like a heap of wheat
set about with lilies.
3 Thy two breasts are like two
young roes that are twins.
4 Thy neck is as a tower of ivo-
ry ; thine eyes like the fishpools in
Heshbon, by the gate of Bath-rab-
bim : thy nose is as the lower of
1-ebanon which looketh toward
Damascus.
5 Thine head upon thee is like
•Canmel.and the hair of thine head
like purijle; the King is held in
the galleries.
6 How fan- and how pleasant art
vthou, O love, for delights!
? This thy statm-e is like to a
palm tree, and thy breasts to clus-
ters of ^-apes.
8 I said, I will go up to the palm
tree, I will take hold of the boughs
thereof: now also thy breasts shall
be as clusters of the vine, and the
smell of thy nose like apples:
9 And the roof of thy mouth like
the best wine for my beloved, that
goeth down sweetly, causing the
lips of those that are asleep to
speak.
10. IT I am my beloved's, and his
desire is toward me.
11 Come, my beloved, let us go
forth into the tield ; let us lodge
in the villages.
.12 Let us get up early to the
vineyards; let us see if the vine
iiourish,whether the tender grape
appear, and the pomegranates
bud forth: there will I give thee
my loves.
13 The mandrakes give a smell,
and at our gates are all manner
of pleasant fruits, new and old,
which I have laid up for thee, O
my beloved.
SS. 8—1 O that thou wert as my
brother, that sucked the breasts
of my mother! when I should find
thee without, I would kiss thee :
yea. I should not be despised.
2 I would lead thee, and bring
thee uito my mother's house, who
would instruct me: I would cause I
thee to drink of spiced wine of
the juice of my pomegranate.
3 His left hand should be under
my head, and his right hand
should embrace me.
4 1 charge you, O daughters of
Jerusalem, that ye stii- not up, nor
awake my love, until he please.
5 Who IS this that cometh up
Irom the wilderness, leaning upon
her beloved? I raised thee up im-
der the apple tree : there thy moth-
er brought thee forth ; there she
brought thee forth that bare thee.
6 IT Set me as a seal upon thine
heart, as a seal upon thine arm:
for loye is strong as death; jeal-
ousy IS ciaiel as the grave: the
coals,thereofarecoalsoffire,which
hath a most vehement flame.
7 Many waters cannot quench
love, neither can the floods drown
It: if a man would give all the
substance of his hou.se for love, it
would utterly be contemned.
8 11 We have a little sister, and
she hath no breasts: what shall
we do for our sister in the day
when she shall be spoken for?
9 If she be a wall, we will build
upon her a palace of silver: and if
she be a door, we will inclose her
with boards of cedar.
.10 I am a wall, and my breasts
like towers: then was I in his eyes
as one that found favour, p. 298.
13 Thou that dwellest in the gar-
dens, the companions hearken to
thy voice: cause me to hear it.
14 IT Make haste, my beloved,
and be thou like to a roe or to a
young hart upon the mountains
of spices.

there be lights in the firmament
ot the heaven to divide the day
from, the night; and let them be
for signs, and for seasons, and for
days, and years:
15 And let them be for lights in
the hrmament of the heaven to
give light upon the earth: and it
was so.
16 And God made two great
lights; the greater light to rule '
the day, and the lesser light to

ament of the lieavento give liglit

18 Aud to rule over the day and

light from the darkness: and God
saw that it was good.
19 Aud the evening aud the
inorniug were the fouith day.
2Sa.23— 1 Aud he shall be as the
light of the morning, when the
sun rLseth, even a morning with-
out clouds; as the tender grass
springing out of tlie earth by clear
shining after rain.
Job 3—20 Wherefore is light
given to him that is in misery,
aud life unto the bitter m soul?
23 Why is li^lit given to a man
whose way is hid and whom God
hath hedged in? p. 383.
Job 18—5 Yea, the light of the
wicked shall be put out, and the
spark of his fire shall not shine.
6 The light shall be dark in his
tabernacle, and his caudle shall
be put out with him.
18 He shall be driven from light
into darkness, and chased out of
the world.
Job 30—26 When I looked for
good, then evil came luito me:
and when I waited for light, there
came darkness.
Ec.11-7 Truly the li^ht is sweet,
and a pleasant thing it is for the
eyes to behold the sim. p. 195.
Is. 60—1 Arise, shine; for thy
light is come, and the glory of the
Lord is risen upon thee.
2 For, behold, the darkness shall
cover the earth, and gross dark-
ness the people: but the Lord
shall arise upon thee, and his
glory shall be seen upon thee.
3 And the Gentiles shall come
to thy light, aud kings to the
brightness of thy rising.
19 1 he sun shall be no more thy
light by day; neither for bright-
uess shall the moon give light
imto thee : but the Lord shall be
unto thee an everlasting light,
and thy God thy glory.
20 Thy sun shall no more go
down; neither shall thy moon
withdraw itself: for the Lord
shall be thine everlasting light,
aud the days of thy mourning
shall be ended.
Mat. 5—14 Ye are the light of the
world. A city that is set on a hill
cannot be hid.
15 Neither do men light a can-
dle, aud put it under a bushel, but
on a candlestick; and it giveth
light unto all that are iu the
house.
16 Let youl" light so .shine before
men, that they may see your good
works, and glorify your Father
which is iu heaven.
Jno. 3—18 He that believeth on
him is not condemned: but he
that believeth not is condemned
already, because he hath not be-
lieved in the name of the only be-
gotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation,
that light is come into the world,
and men loved darkness rather
than li^ht, because their deeds
were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil
hateth the light, neither cometh
to the light, lest his deeds should
be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth com-
eth to the light, that his deeds
may be made manifest, that they
are wrought in God.
Jno. 5—35 He was a burning and
a shining light: and ye were will-
ing for a season to rejoice in his
light.
Jno. &— 5 As long as I am in the
world, I am the light of the world.
Juo. 12—35 Then Jesus said unto
them. Yet a little while is the light
with you. Walk while ye have
the light, lest darkness come upon
you : for he that walketh in dark-
ness knoweth uot whither he
go e til.
36 While ye have light, believe
iu the light, that ye may be the
children of light, p. 197.
44 Jesus cried and said. He that
believeth on me, believeth not on
me, but on him that sent me.
45 Aud he that seeth me seeth
him that sent me.
46 1 am come a light into the
world, that whosoever believeth
on me should not abide in dark-
ness.
47 And if any man hear my
words, and believe not, 1 judge
him not : for I came not to judge
the world, but to save the world.
Ep. 5—8 For ye were sometime
darkness, but now are ye light in
the Lord: walk as children of
light.

of light, aud the children of the

you out of darkness into his mar-
vellous light.

1 Sa. 25—29 A man is risen to p\ir-
sue thee, and to seek thy soul : but
the soul of my lord shall be bound
in the bundle of life with the
Lord thy God.
Job 6—11 What is my strength,
that I should hope? and what is
mine end, that I should prolong
my life?
Job 7—7 O remember that my
life is wmd: mine eye shall no
more see good.
8 The eye of him that hathseen
me shall see me no more : thine
eyes are upon me, and I am not.
15 My soul chooseth strangling,
and death rather than my life.
16 1 loathe it ; I would not live
alway : let me alone ; for my days
are vanity, p. 383.
Ps. 36—9 For with thee is the
fountain of life : in thy light shall
we see light.
Ps. 133—3 As the dew of Her-
mon, and as the dew that de-
scended upon the mountains of
Zion: for there the Lord com-
manded the blessing, even life
for evermore.
Pro. 9—11 For by me thy days
shall be multiplied, and the years
of thy life shall be increased.
Ec. 2-17 Therefore 1 hated life ;
because the work that is wrought
under the sun is grievous unto
me. p. 193.
Ec. 9—4 For to him that is
joined to all the living there is
hope: for a living dog is better
than a dead lion.
5 For the living know that they
shall die: but the dead know not
any thmg, neither have they any
more a reward; for the memory
of them is forgotten.
Mat. 6—25 Therefore I say unto
you, Take no thought for your
life, what ye shall eat, or what
ye shall drink ; nor yet for your
body, what ye shall put on. Is
not the life more than meat, and
the body than rainient?
Mat. 10—39 He that findeth his
life shall lose it: and he that
loseth his life for my sake shall
lind it.
Mat. 16—25 For whosoever will
save his life shall lose it: and
whosoever will lose his life for
my sake shall find it.
Mat. 20—28 Even as the Son of
man came not to be ministered
unto, but to mmister, and to give
his life a ransom for many.
Lu. 17—33 Whosoever shall seek
to save his life shall lose it ; and
whosoever shall lose his life shall
preserve it.
Jno. 3—14 And as Moses lifted
up the serpent in the wilderness,
even so must the Son of man be
lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in
him should not perish, but have
eternal life.
36 He that believeth on the Son
hath everlasting life : and he that
believeth not the Son shall not see
life ; but the wrath of God abideth
on him.
Jno. 5—24 Verily, I say unto you.
He that heareth my word, and
believeth on him that sent me,
hath everlastmg life, and shall
not come into condemnation; but
is passed from death unto life.
25 Verily, verily, I say unto you,
The hour is commg, and now is,
when the dead shall hear the
voiceof theSonof God: and they
that hear shall live.
26 For as the Father hath life in
himself; so hath he given to the
Son to have life in himself;
27 And hath given him author-
ity to execute judgment also, be-
cause he is the Son of man.
Jno. 6—53 Then Jesus said unto
them. Verily, verily, I say unto
you, Except ye eat the flesh of
the Son of man, and drink his
blood, ye have no life in you.
54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and
drinketh my blood, hath eternal
life; and 1 will raise him up at
the last day. p. 248.
63 It is the Spirit that quicken-
eth; the flesh profiteth nothing:
the words that I speak unto you,
they are spirit, and they are life.
177
Jiio. 12—26 He that lovetli his
life shall lose it; and he that hat-
eth his life in this world shall
keep it unto life eternal.
49 The Father which sent me, he
gave me a commandment, what I
should say.
50 And I know that his com-
mandment is life everlasting.
Jno. 17—2 As thou hast given him
powerover all flesh,that he should
five eternal life to as many as thou
ast given him.
3 And this is life eternal, that
they might know thee the only
true God, and Jesus Christ, whom
thou hast sent.
Ac. 13—48 And as many as were
ordained to eternal life believed,
p. 137.
Ro. 14—7 For none of us livethto
himself, and no man dieth to him-
self.
8 For whether we live, we live
unto the Lord; and whether we
die, we die unto the Lord:
whether we live therefore, or die,
we are the Lord's.
9 For to this end Christ both died,
and rose, that he might be Lord
both of the dead and livmg.
Tit. 2—12 We should live sober-
ly, righteously, and godly, in this
present world.
1 Pe. 3—10 For he that will love
life, and see good days, let him
refrain his tongue from evil, and
his lips that they speak no guile.
I Jno. 5—10 Hethatbelieveth on
the Son of God hath the witness
in himself: he that believethnot
God hath made him a liar; be-
cause he believeth not the record
that God gave of his Son.
II And this is the record, that
God hath given to us eternal life,
and this life is in his Son.
12 He that hath the Son hath
life ; and he that hath not the Son
of God hath not life.

panion of riotous men shameth his
lather.
9 He that tumeth away his ear
from hearing the law, even his
prayer shall be abomination.

come to destroy the law, or the
prophets: I am not come to de-
stro>\ but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say mito you. Till
heaven and earth pass, one jot or
one tittle shall in no wise pass
from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Mat. 20—15 Is it not lawful for
me to do what I will with mine
own? Is thine eye evil, because I
am good? p. 448.
Lu. 16—16 The law and the proph-
ets were until John: since that
time the kingdom of God is
preached, and every man presseth
into it.
17 And it is easier for heaven
and earth to pass, than one tittle
of the law to fail.
Jno. 1—17 For the law was given
by Moses, but grace and truth
came by Jesus Christ,
Ac. 23—2 And the high priest
Ananias commanded them to
smite him on the mouth.
3 Then said Paul unto him, God
shall smite thee, thou whited
wall : for sittest thou to judge me
after the law, and commandest me
to be smitten contrary to the law?
Ro. 2—12 For as many as have
sinned without law shall also per-
ish without law ; and as many as
have sinned in the law shall be
judged by the law ;
13 (For not the hearers of the
law are just before God, but the
doers of the law shall be justified,
14 For when the Gentiles, which
have not the law, do by nature the
things contained in the law, these,
having not the law, are a law unto
themselves:
15 Which shew the work of the
law written in their hearts, their
conscience also bearing witness,
and their thoughts the mean
while accusing or else excusing
one another;)
Ro. 7—21 I find then a law, that,
when 1 would do good, evil is
present with me.
22 For I delight in the law of
God after the inward man :
23 But I see another law in my
members, waiTing against the law
of my mind, and bringing me into
captivity to the law of sin which
is in my members.
2-1 O wretched man that I am!
who shall deliver me from the
body of this death?
25 I thank God through Jesus
Christ our Lord. So then with
the mind I myself serve the law
of God; but with the flesh the
law of sin.
I Co. 6—1 Dare any of you, hav-
ing a matter against another, go
to law before the unjust, and not
before the saints? p. 140.
Gal. 3—10 As many as are of the
works of the law are under the
curse : for it is written. Cursed is
every one that continueth not in
all things which are written in
the book of the law to do them.
(De. 27—26 Cursed be he that con-
firmeth not all the words of this
law to do them : and all the peo-
ple shall say, Amen.)
II But that no man is justified
by the law in the sight of God, it
is evident: for. The just shall live
by faith.
12 And the law is not of faith:
but, The man that doeth them
shall live in them.
13 Christ hath redeemed us from
the curse of the law, being made
a curse for us: for it is written,
Cursed is every one that hangeth
on a tree. De. 21, p. 129.
Gal. &— 14 For all the law is ful-
filled in one word, even in this;
Thou shalt love thy neighboiu' as
thyself.
1 Ti. 1—7 Desiring to be teach-
ers of the law; understanding
neither what they say, nor where-
of they affirm.
8 But we know that the law is
good, if a man use it lawfully.
9 Knowing this, that the law is
not made for a righteous man, but
for the lawless and disobedient.
Ja. 2—8 If ye fulfil the royal law
according to the Scripture, Thou
shalt love thy neighboiu' as thy-
self, ye do well:
9 But if ye have respect to per-
sons, ye commit sin, and are con-
vinced of the law as transgressors,
10 For whosoever shall keep the
whole law, and yet offend in one
point, he is guilty of all.
Lu. 7—30 But the Pharisees and
lawyers rejected the counsel of
God against themselves, being
not baptized in him.

Bible History of the creation of
man and woman. They were
commanded by God to be fruit-
ful and multiply " (Ge. 1. 27, 28.
this page), yet they knew not how.
But when the Serpent (the farst
Devil) imparted the knowledge to
Eve (and where did he get his
knowledge from ?), then God m
his anger cursed them (Ge. 3. lol-
lowing). Garden of Eden. Ge. 2.

Ge. 1—26 And God said. Let us
make man in our image, after our
our likeness: and let them have
dominion over the fish of the sea,
the fowl of the air, and over the
cattle, and over all the earth, and
over every creeping thing that
creepeth upon the earth. . .
27 So God created man m his
own image, in the image of God
created he him ; male and female
created he them.
28 And God blessed them., and
God said unto them, Be fruitful,
and multiply, and replenish the
earth, and subdue it: and have
dominion over the fish of the sea.
and over the fowl of the air, and
over every living thing that mov-
eth upon the earth.
31 And God saw every thmg that
he had made, and, behold, it was
very good. And the evening and
the morning were the sixth day.
Ge. 2—7 And the Lord God
formed man of the dust of the
ground, and breathed into hi&
nostrils the breath of lite; and
man became a living soul.
8 And the Lord God planted a
garden eastward in Eden; and
there he put the man whom he
had formed. -, i
9 And out of the ground made
the Lord God to grow every tree
that is pleasant to the sight, and
good for food ; the tree of life also
ui the midst of the garden and
the tree of knowledge of good and
evil. , ^ -T^-,
10 And a nver went out of Eden
to water the garden; and from
thence it was parted, and became
into four heads. ^ ^ . „•
11 The name of the first is Pison :
that is it which compasseth the
whole land of Havilah. where
there is gold ; , ,, ^ , -, •
12 And the gold of that land is
good : there is bdellium and the
onyx stone.
13 And the name of the second
river is Gihon: the same is it
that compasseth the whole land
of Ethiopia. ^,-^
14 And the name of the third
river is Hiddekel : that is it which
goeth toward the east of Assyria.
And the fourth vivei is Euplirates.
15 And the Lord God took the
man.^and put him into the garden
of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
16 And the Lord God com-
manded the man. saying. Of every
tree of the garden thou mayest
freely eat : , ^, , i
17 But of the tree of the knowl-
edge of good and evil, thou shalt
not eat of it: for in the day that
thou eatest thereof thou siiait
"^"8^ Ind the Lord God said It is
not good that the man should be
alone: I will make him a help
meet for him. j ^, ^
19 And out of the ground the
Lord God formed every beast ot
the field, and every fowl of the
air ; and brought them unto Adam
to see what he would call them:
M
184
M
and whatsoever Adam called ev-
ery living creature, that was the
name thereof.
20 And Adam gave names to all
cattle, and to the fowl of the air,
and to every beast of the held;
but for Adam there was not found
a help meet for him.
21 And the Lord God caused a
deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and
he slept: and he took one of his
ribs, and closed up the flesh in-
stead thereof. . , , r
22 And the rib, which the Lord
God had taken from man, made
he a woman, and brought her unto
the man. , . .
23 And Adam said. This is now
hone of my bones, and flesh of my
flesh: she shall be called Woman,
because she was taken out of man.
24 Therefore shall a man leave
his father and his mother, and
shall cleave mito his wife: and
they shall be one flesh.
25 And they were both naked,
the man and his wife, and were
not ashamed.
Ge. 3—1 Now the serpent was
more subtile than any beast of
the field which the Lord God
had made. And he said luito the
woman. Yea, hath God said. Ye
shall not eat of every tree of the
garden?
2 And the woman said mito the
serpent. We may eat of the fruit
of the trees of the garden :
3 But of the fruit of the tree
which is in the midst of the gar-
den, God hath said, Ye shall not
eat of it, neither shall ye touch it,
lest ye die.
4 And the serpent said unto the
woman. Ye shall not sm-ely die:
5 For God doth know that in the
day ye eat thereof, then your eyes
shall be opened, and ye shall be as
gods, knowing good and evil.
6 And when the woman saw tbat
the tree was good for food, and
that it was pleasant to the eyes,
and a tree to be desked to inak^e
one wise, she took of the fruit
thereof, and did eat, and gave
also unto her husband with her ;
and he did eat.
7 And the eyes of them both
were opened, and they knew that
they were naked ; and they sewed
fig leaves together, and made
themselves aprons.
8 And they heard the voice of
the Lord God walking in the gar-
den in the cool of the day: and
Adam and his wife hid them-
selves from the presence of the
Lord God amongst the trees of
the garden.
9 And the Lord called unto
Adam, and said, Where art thou?
10 And he said, I heard thy voice
in the garden, and I was afraid,
because I was naked ; and I hid
myself. , ,
11 And he said Who told thee
that thou wast naked? Hast thou
eaten of the tree, whereof I com-
manded thee that thou shouldest
not eat? _,,
12 And the man said. The wo-
man whom thou gavest to be with
me, she gave me of the tree, and I
did eat. ^ ,
13 And the Lord God said unto
the woman, What is this that thou
hast done? And the woman said.
The serpent beguiled me, and I
did eat. ^ ,
14 And the Lord God said unto
the sei-peut. Because thou hast
done this, thou art cursed above
all cattle, and above every beast
of the field ; upon thy belly shalt
thou go, and dust shalt thou eat
all the days of thy life :
15 And I will put enmity be-
tween thee and the woman, and
between thy seed and her seed ; it
shall bruise thy head, and thou
shalt bruise his heel. .
16 Unto the woman he said, I
will greatly multiply thy sorrow

17 And iinto Adam he said. Be-
cause thou hast hearkened unto
the voice of thy wife, and hast
eaten of the tree, of which I com-
manded thee, saying. Thou shalt
not eat of it: cursed is the ground
for thy sake ; in sorrow shalt thou
eat of it all the days of thy life ;
18 Thorns also and thistles shall
it bring forth to thee ; and thou
shalt eat the herb of the field :
19 In the sweat of thy face shalt
thou eat bread, till thou return
unto the ground; for out of it
wast thou taken: for dust thou
art, and unto dust shalt thou re-
turn. ,, , , . .i, ,

^1 Unto Adam also and to his
wife did the Lord Hod make
coats of skins, and clothed them.
22 t And the Lord God said,
Behold, the man is become as one
of us, to know good and evil: and
now, lest he put forth his hand,
and take also of the tree of life,
and eat, and live for ever:
23 Therefore the Lord God sent
him forth from the garden of
Eden, to till the grotuid from
whence he was taken.
24 So he drove out the man: and
he placed at the east of the garden
of Eden cherubim, and a flaming
sword which turned every way, to
keep th6 way of the tree of life.

when men began to multiply on
the face of the earth, and daugh-
ters were born unto them,
2 That the sons of God saw the
daughters of men that they were
fair; and they took them wives
of all which they chose.
3 And the Lord 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. 6.
4 There were giants in the earth
in those days; and also after that,
when the sons of God came in un-
to the daughters of men, and they
bare children to them, the same
became mighty men which were
of old, men of renown.
5 IT And God saw that the wick-
edness of man was great in the
earth, and that evei-j; imagina-
tion of the thoughts of his heart
was only evil continually,
6 And it repented the Lord that
he had made man on the earth,
and it grieved hmi at his heart.
7 And the Lord said, I will de-
stroy man whom I have created
from the face of the earth; both
man, and beast, and the creeping
thing, and the fowls of the air;
for it repenteth me that I have
made them.
8 But Noah fotmd grace in the
eves of the Lord.
9 IT These are the generations of
Noah : Noah was a just man and
Serfect in his generations, and
foah walked with God.
10 And Noah begat three sons,
Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 The earth also was corrupt
before God; and the earth was
tilled with violence.
12 And God looked upon the
earth, and, behold, it was cor-
rupt; for all flesh had corrupted
his way upon the earth.
13 And God said unto Noah, The
end of all flesh is come before me ;
for the earth is filled with violence
through them ; and, behold, I will
de.stroy them with the earth.
14 H Make thee an ark of gopher
wood ; rooms shalt thou make in
the ark, and shalt pitch it within
and without with pitch.
15 And this is the fashion which,
thou shalt make it of: The length
of the ark shall be three hundred
cubits, the breadth of it fifty cu-
bits, and the height of it thirty
cubits.
16 A window shalt thou make to
the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou
finish it above ; and the door of
the ark shalt thou set in the side
thereof; with lower, second, and
third stories shalt thou make it.
17 And, behold, I, even I, do
bring a flood of waters upon the
earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein .
is the breath of life, from under
heaven ; and every thing that is
in the earth shall die.

18 But with thee will I establish
my covenant; and thou shalt
come into the ark, thou and th>^
sots; and thy wife, and thy sons'
wives with thee. . ^, . ^ -
19 And of every living thing ot
all flesh, two of every sort shalt
thou bring into the ark, to keep
them alivi with thee; they shafl
be male and female. . ^ ^„ ^
20 Of fowls after their kind, and
of cattle after their kind, of every
creeping thing of the earth after
his kind; two of every sort shall
come unto thee, to keep them
^^21 And take thou unto thee of
all food that is eaten, and thou
shalt gather it to thee ; and it shall
be for food for thee, and for them.
22 Thus did Noah; according to
all that God commanded him, so

Noah.Come thou and all thy house
into tke ark ; for thee haye.I seen

take to thee by sevens, the male

are not clean by two, the male and

to keep seed alive upon the face

forty days and forty nighVh^vP
every living substance that 1 lia\e
made will 1 destroy from off the

5 And Noah did accordmg unto
all that the Lord commanded
^e^And Noah was six hundred
years old when the flood of waters
wasupon the earth. .
7 H And Noah went m. and his
sons, and his wife, and his sons
wives with him, into the ark, be-
cause of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts
that are not clean, and of fowls,
and of everythmg that creepeth
upon the earth, .
9 There went m two and two
Txnto Noah into the ark. the male
and the female, as God had com-
manded Noah.
10 And it came to pass a Iter
seven days, that the waters ot the
flood were upon the earth.
11 1 In the six hundredth year of
Noah's life, in the second month,
the seventeenth day of the month,
the same day were all the tount-
ains of the great deep broken up.
and the windows of heaven were
opened. . ., „
12 And the ram was upon the
earth forty days and forty nights.
13 In the selfsame day entered
Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and
Japheth. the sons, of Noah, and
Noah's wife, and the three wives
of his sons with them.mto the ark ;
14 They, and every beast after
his kind, and all the cattle after
thek kind, and every creeping
thing that creepeth upon the
earth after his kind, and every
fowl after his kmd. every bird ot
every sort. . . ^.^ ,
15 And they went in unto Noah
into the ark. two and two of all
flesh, wherein is the breath ot lite.
16 And they that went m. went
in male and female of all. flesh, as
God had commanded him: ana
the Lord shut him iu. ^ ^ ^
17 And the flood was forty days
upon the earth; and the waters
increased, and bare up the ark.

23 And every living substance
was destroyed which was upon the
face of the ground, both man, and

they were destroyed from . the
earth: and Noah only remained
alive,and they that were with him

Ge. 8—1 And (iod remembered
Noah, aud every living- thing, and
all the cattle that wan with him
in the ark: and God made a wind
to pass over the earth, and the
waters assuaged.
2 The fountains also of the deep
and the windows of heaven were
stopped, and the rain from heaven
was restrained.
3 And the waters returned from
off the earth continually: and
after the end of the hmidred
and fifty days the waters were
abated.
4 And the ark rested m the sev-
enth month, on the seventeenth
day of the month, upon the moun-
tains of Ararat.
5 And the waters decreased con-
tinually ixntil the tenth month : in
the tenth month, on the first day
of the month, were the tops of the
mountains seen.
6 IF And it came to pass at the
end of forty days, that Noah
opened the window of the ark
which he had made:
7 And he sent forth a raven,
which went forth to and fro, until
the waters were dried up from oil
the earth.
8 Also he sent forth a dove from
him, to see if the waters were
abated from of the face of the
ground.
9 But the dove found no rest for
the sole of her foot, and she re-
turned unto him into the ark ; for
the waters were on the face of the
whole earth. Then he put forth
his hand, and took her. and pulled
her in unto him into the ark.
10 And he stayed yet other seven
days ; and again he sent forth the
dove out of the ark.
11 And the dove came in to him
in the evening, and. lo, in her
mouth was an olive leaf plucked
off: so Noah knew that the waters
were abated from off the earth.
12 And he stayed yet other seven
days, and sent forth the dove,
which returned not again unto
him any more.
13 IT And it came to pass in the
six hmidredth and first year, in
the fir.st month, the first day of the
month, the waters were dried up
from off the earth : and Noah re-
moved the covering of the ark,
and looked, and, behold, the face
of the ground was dry.
14 And in the second month, on
the seven and twentieth day of
the month, was the earth dried.
15 H And God spake unto Noah,
saying,
16 Go forth of the ark, thou,
and thy wife, and thy sons, and
thy sons' wives with thee.
17 Bring forth every living thing,
of all flesh, both of fowl, and of
cattle, and of every creeping
thing that creepeth upon the
earth ; that they may breed abun-
dantly in the earth, and be fruit-
ful, and multiply upon the eartli.
18 And Noah went forth, and his
sons, and his wife, and his sons'
wives with him:
19 Every beast, every creeping
thing, and every fowl, and what-
soever creepeth upon the eartli,
after then- kinds, went forth out
of the ark.
20 IT And Noah builded an altar
unto the Lord; and took of
every clean beast, and of every
clean fowl, and offered burnt of-
ferings on the altar.
21 And the Lord smelled a
sweet savour; and the Lord said
in his heart, I will not again curse
the ground any more for man's
sake; for the imagination of
man's heart is evil from his
youth : neither will 1 agam smite
any more every thing living, as
I have done.
22 While the earth remaineth.
seedtime and harvest, and cold
and heat. and summer and winter,
and day and night shall not cease.
Ge. 9—1 And God blessed Noah
and his .sons, and said unto them,
Be fruitful, and multiply, aud re-
plenish the earth.
2 And the fear of you and the
dread of you shall be upon every
beast of the earth, and upon eveiy
fowl of the air, upon all that niov-
eth upon the earth, and upon all
the fishes of the sea; into youi-
hand are they delivered.
3 Every moving thing that liv-
eth shall be meat for you ; even as
the gi-een herb have I given you
all things.
4 But flesh with the life thereof ;
which is the blood thereof, shall
ye not eat.
5 And surely your blood of your
lives will I require: at the hand
of evei-y beast will I require it,
and at the hand of man; at the
hand of every man's brother will
1 requu-e the life of man.

6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood,
by man shall his blood be shed : for
in the image of God made he man.
7 And you. be ye fruitful, and
multiply ; brmg forth abiidantly
in the earth,and multiply thei-em.
8 H And- God spake unto Noah,
and to his sons with hmi, saying,
9 And I, behold, I establish my
covenant with you, and with your
seed after you ;
10 And with every living creat-
ure that is with you, of the fowl.
of the cattle, and of every beast ot
the earth with you; from all that
go out of the ark, to every beast
of the earth. , , . ,
11 And I will establish my cov-
enant with you ; neither «hall all
flesh be cut off any more by the
waters of a flood; neither shall
there any more be a flood to de-
stroy the earth. . , ^, . . ^,
12 And God said. This is the
token of the covenant which 1
make between me and you, and
every livmg creature that is with
you, for perpetual generations:
13 I do set my bow in the clovid,
and it shall be for a token of a
covenant between me and the
14 And it shall come to pass,
when I bring a cloud oyer «ie
earth, that the bow shall be seen
in the cloud :
15 And I will remember my cov-
enant, which is between me and
you and every living creature ot
all flesh ; and the waters shall no
more become a flood to destroy all
flesh. , ,, , . ^,
16 And the bow shall be m the
cloud ; and I will look upon it, that
I may remember the everlasting
covenant between God and every
living creature of all flesh that is
upon the earth. ,^ ,
17 And God said unto Noah,
This is the token of the covenant,
which I have established between
me and all flesh that is upon the
18 If' And the sons of Noah, that
went forth of the ark, were Shem,
and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham
is the father of Canaan.
19 These are the three sons of
Noah: and of them was the whole
earth overspread.
20 And Noah began to be a hus-
bandman, and he planted a vuie-
yard: , „ ,
21 And he drank of the wme.
and was drimken; and he was
uncovered within his tent.
22 And Ham, the father of Ca-'
naan, saw the nakedness of his
father, and told his two brethi-en.
23 And Shem and Japheth took
a garment, and laid it upon both
their shoulders, and went back-
ward, and covered the nakedness
of their father ; and they saw not
their father's nakedness.
24 And Noah awoke fi'om his
wine, and knew what his younger
son had done unto him.
25 And he said. Cursed be Ca-
naan ; a servant of servants shall
he be unto his brethren.
26 And he said. Blessed be the
Lord God of Shem ; and Canaan
shall be his servant.
27 God shall enlarge Japheth.
and he shall dwell in the tents of
Shem; and Canaan shall be his
servant. , „
28 t And Noah lived after the
flood three hundred and fiftyyears.
29 And all the days of Noah were
nine hundred and fifty years : and
he died.

are before the eyes of the Lord,
and he pondereth all his gomgs.
Pro. 9—9 Give instruction to a
wise man, and he will be yet
wiser: teach a just man, and he
will increase in learning.
Pro. 10—14 Wise men lay up
knowledge: but the mouth of the
foolish is near destruction. ,
15 The rich man's wealth is his
strong city: the destruction of
the poor is their poverty.

Pro. 12—2 A good man obtaiueth
favour of the Lord: but a man of
wicked devices will he condemn.
3 A man shall not be estab-
lished by wickedness: but the
root of the righteous shall not be
moved.
8 A man shall be commended
according- to his wisdom: but he
that is of a perverse heart shall be
despised.
10 A righteous man regardeth the
life of his beast: but the tender
mercies of the wicked are cruel.
14 A man shall be satisfied with
good by the fruit of his mouth:
and the recompense of a man's
handsshall be rendered unto him.
23 A prudent man concealeth
knowledge: but the heart of fools
proclaimeth foolishness.
25 Heaviness in the heart of man
maketh it stoop: but a good word
maketh it glad.
27 The slothful man roasteth not
that which he took in hunting.
Pro. 13—8 The ransom of a man's
life are his riches: but the poor
heareth not rebuke.
20 He that walketh with wise
men shall be wise: biit a compan-
ion of fools shall be destroyed.
22 A good man leaveth an inher-
itance to his children's children:
and the wealth of the sinner is
laid up for the just.
Pro. 14—7 Go from the presence
of a foolish man, when thou per-
ceivest not in him the lips of
knowledge.
12 There is a way which seemeth
right unto a man; but the end
thereof are the ways of death.
16 A wise man feareth, and de-
parteth from evil: but the fool
rageth, and is confident.
17 He that is soon angry dealeth
foolishly: and a man of wicked
devices is hated.
Pro. 15—23 A man hath joy by the
answer of his mouth: and a word
spoken in due season, how good
is it!
Pro. 16-1 The preparations of the
heart in man, and the answer of
the tongue, is from the Lord.
2 All the waysof aman are clean
in his own eyes; but the Lord
weigheth the spirits.
7 When a man's ways please the
Lord, he maketli even his ene-
mies to be at peace with him.
9 A man's heart deviseth his
way: but the Lord directeth his
steps.
Pro. 18-4 Tlie words of a man's
mouth areas deep waters, and the
wellspring of wisdom as a flowing
brook.
20 A man's belly shall be satis-
fied with the fruit of his mouth ;
and with the increase of his lips
shall he be filled.
Pro. 19—11 The discretion of a
man differeth his anger; and it is
his glory to pass over a transgres-
sion.
19 A man of great wi-ath shall
suffer piuiishment: for if thou
deliver him, yet thou must do it
agaui.
21 There are many devices in a
man's heart.
22 The desire of a man is his
kindness: and a poor man is better
than a liar.
Pro. 20—3 It is an honour for a
man to cease from strife : but every
fool will be meddling.
6 Most men will proclaim every
one his own goodness: but a faith-
ful man who can find?
24 Man's goings are of the Lord ;
how can a man then understand
his own way?
26 It is a snare to the man who
devoureth that which is holy, and
after vows to make inguiry.
27 The spirit of man is the candle
of the Lord, searching all the in-
ward parts of the belly.
29 The glory of young men is
their strength : and the beauty of
old men is the gray head.
Pro. 21—2 Every way of a man is
right in his own eyes: but the
Lord pondereth the hearts.
16 The man that wandereth out
of the way of understanding shall
remain in the congregation of the
dead.
22 A wise man scaleth the city
of the mighty, and casteth down
the strength of the confidence
thereof. Pro. 25. 19, p. 54.
Pro. 22—3 A prudent man for-
seeth the evil, and hideth him-
self: but the simple pass on, and
are punished.
24 Make no friendship with an
angry man; and with a furious
man thou shalt not go;
25 Lest thou learn his ways, and
get a snare to thy soul. p. 24.
Pro. 24—1 Be not thou envious
against evil men, neither desire
to be with them. p. 313.
5 A wise man is strong; yea,
a man of knowledge increaseth
strength.

12 Doth not lie that poudereth
the heart consider it? and he that
keepeth thy soul, doth not he
know it? and shall not he render
to every man according to his
works? ^ ,, ^,
16 For a just man falleth seven
times, and riseth up again: but the
wicked shall fall into mischiet.
Pro. 26—12 Seest thou a man wise
in his own conceit? there is more
hope of a fool than of him.
Pro. 28— 11 The rich man is wise
in his own conceit ; hut the poor
that hath understanding search-
eth him out.
12 When righteous men do re-
joice, there is great glory: but
when the wicked rise, a man is
hidden.
21 To have respect of persons is
not good : for, for a piece of bread
that man will transgress.
23 He that rebuketh a man,af ter-
wards shall find more favour than
he that flattereth with the tongue.
Pro. 29— .5 A man that flattereth
his neighbour spreadeth a net for
his feet.
8 Scornful men bring a city into
a snare : but wise men turn away
, wrath.
9 If a wise man contendeth with
a foolish man, whether he rage or
laugh, there is no rest.
13 The poor and the deceitful
man meet together: the Lord
lighteneth botli their eyes.
20 Seest thou a man that is hasty
in his words? there is more hope
of a fool than of him.
22 An angry man stirreth up
strife, and a furious man abound-
eth in transgression.
23 A man's pride shall bring him
low: but honoiu- shall uphold the
humble in spirit,
26 Many seek the ruler's favour;
but every man's judgment Com-
eth from the Lord.
27 An unjust man is an abomina-
tion to the just.
Pro. 30—2 Surely I am more brut-
ish than any man, and have not
the understanding of a man. See
Pro. 30. 19, p. 279.
Labour of Man, Solomon's La-
bour, Pleasure, Regret, and Ad-
vice to Man.
Ec. 1—3 What profit hath a man
of all his labour which he taketh
under the sun?
8 All things are full of labour;
man cannot utter it. See Ec. 1.
8-11, p. 279, and 12-18, p. 308.
Ec. 2—1 I said in mine heart.
Go to now, I will prove thee with
mirth; therefore enjoy pleasure:
and. behold, this also is vanity.
2 I said of laughter. It is mad:
and of mirth. What doeth it? .
3 I sought in mine heart to give
myself unto wine, yet acquainting
mine heart with wisdom ; and to
lay hold on folly, till I might see
what was that good for the sons of
men, which they should do mider
the heaven all the days of then-
life.
4 I made me great works; 1
builded me houses ; 1 planted me
vineyards:
5 I made me gardens and or-
chards, and I planted trees in
them of all kind of fruits:
6 I made me pools of water, to
water therewith the wood that
bringeth forth trees:
7 1 got me servants and maidens,
and had servants born m my
house; also I had great posses-
sions of great and small cattle
above all that were in Jerusalem
before me: ., ,
8 I gathered me also silver and
fold, and the peculiar treasure of
ings and of the provinces: I
gat me men singers and women
singers, and the delights of the
sons of men, as musical instru-
ments, and that of all sorts.
9 So I was great, and increased
more than all that were before me
in Jerusalem : also my wisdom re-
mained with me.
10 And whatsoever mine eyes
desired I kept not from them, I
withheld not my heart from any
joy; for my heart rejoiced in all
my labour: and this was my por-
tion of all my labom-.
11 Then I looked on all the works
that my hands had wrought, and
on the labour that I had laboured
to do: and, behold, all was vanity
and vexation of spirit, and there
was no profit under the sun,
12 f And I turned myself to be-
hold wLsdom, and madness, and
folly : for what can the man do that
Cometh after the king? even that
which hath been already done.
13 Then I saw that wisdom ex-
celleth lolly, as far as light excel-
leth darkness. .
14 The wise man's eyes are m his

l^ead.; but the .1001 walketh in
darkuess; aiitl I myself perceived
alsu thai one event hitppeueth to
them all. . ,■ . : . -
,1^ Theu said I ia xuy heart, As it
happeiieth tothe tool, so it hap-
feueth even to me; .and why was
then more wise? , Theu I. Said lh
any heart, that this also is vanity.
■ ■ IG For there is no reuiem brauce
of tiUe, wise more than of the fool
forever; seeing that whicli now
is in the day.s-tocome shall all be
forgotten. And how dieth the wise
tnau? as. the fool. . '
], 47 Therefore I liated life; be-
cause the work, tliat is wrought
linder the sun is- grievous \into
me: for all is vanity and vexation
of simit. ,, ■ ■ -■ '
18 il Yea, I hated all my labour
which I' had takenunder the sun :
because i should leave it luito the
maaa, that shall be after me.
, 1 19, 'And who knoweth whether
'he shall be a wise man or a fool?
yet shall h«; liave! rule over all my
labour wherein I have laboured,
and wherein I have shewed my-
self wise under the sun. This is
also vanity.
/ 30 :Tlierefore I w€nt about to
cause my heart to despair of all
the labour which I took under the
•sun. :
, 21 For there is a man whose la-
bour is m wisdom, and in knowl-
edge, and in equity ; yet to a man
that hath not laboured therein
shall he leave it for his portion.
This also is vanity and a great evil.
^2 For what hath man of all his
labour, and of the vexation'of liis
■lieart, wherein he hath laboured?
23 For all his days are sorrows,
and his travail grief ; yea,his heart
taketh not rest in the night. This
is also vanity.
24 1i There is nothing better for a
man, than that he should eat and
drink, and that he should make
his soul enjoy good in his labour.
This also I saw. that it was from
the hand of God.
, 25 For who can eat, or who else
can hasten heremito, more than 1?
26 For God giveth to a man that
is good in his sight, wisdom, and
knowledge, and joy: but to the
sinner he giveth travail, to gather
and to heap u_t), that lie may give
to him that is good before God.
This also is vanity and vexation
of spirit.
; Ec. 3—9 What profitliath he that
.worketh in that *hureitt he la-
boureth? ■.:.■.> . - . ■-• •■;
lu I haveseentlie travail, which
God hath given to the sons of meh
to be exercised in itv ' ' '■ '
11 He hath madefevery tliinfe
beautiful in his time: silso he
hath set the world in their heart,
so that no man can tind oitt'the
work that Hod makethfroin the
beginning to the end. "' '
12 I know that there is no good
in them, but for a man to rejoice,
.and to do good in his life. '^
13 And. also th;it every ' man
should eat and drink, and engoy
the good of. all his labour, ifis
thegift'of God. . • •'. '•- •'
18 I said ill mine heart conoefn-
ing the estate of the S(nis of' men,
that (iod might manifest theii>,
and that they might see that
they themselves are'beasts. ' '
19 For *hat which befalletfe the
sons of men befalleth beasts ;>etieai
one thing befalleth them : - as the
onedieth,. so dieth the other; yed,
they have: all one breath; so that
a man liath no preemiijeuce above
a, beast : for all is vanity.
20 All go unto one place ; all are
of the dust, and all turn to dust
again. ' 1, :; •' ■.
21 Who knoweth the* spirit M
^laii that goeth upwjtld, and the
spirit of the beast that gofeth
downward to the earth? ■■'•-■
22 Wherefore I perceive that
there is nothing better, than .that
a man should rejoice in his own
works; for that is his portion:
for who shall 'bring him to sefe
what shall be after him?
Ec. 4—4 Agaiii, 1 considei-ed all
travail, and evei-y right work.that
for tins a man is envied of his
neighbour. This is also vanity
and vexation of .spirit.
8 There isone alone, and there is
not a second ; yea, he hath neither
child nor brother: yet is there no
end of all his labour ; neither is his
eye satisfied with riches; neither
saith he, For whom do I labour,and
bereave my .soul of good? This is
also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.
Ec. 5—13 There is a> .sore evil
which I have seen under the sun,
namely, riches kept for the owners
thereof to their hurt.
14 But those riches perish by evil
travail: and he hegetteth a son,
and there is nothing in his hand.
M
194
15 As he came forth of his moth-
er's womb, naked shall he return
to go as he came, and shall take
nothing of his labour, which he
may carry away in his hand.
16 .'^d this also is a sore evil,
that in all points as he came, so
shall he go: and what profit hath
he that hath laboured for the
wind? , , .
17 All his days also he eateth m
darkness, and ne hath much sor-
row and wrath with his sickness.
18 t Behold that which I have
seen: it is good and comely for
one to eat and to drink, and to en-
joy the good of all his labour that
ne taketh under the sun all the
days of his life, which Grod giv-
eth him : for it is his portion.
19 Every man also to whom God
hath given riches and wealth, and
hath given him power to eat there-
of, and to take his portion, and to
rejoice in his labour; this is the
gift of God.
20 For he shall not much remem-
ber the days of his life ; because
God auswereth him in the joy of
his heart. , . , ,
Ec. 6—1 There is an evil which I
have seen under the sun, and it is
common among men :
2 A man to whom God hath
given riches, wealth, and honour,
so that he wanteth nothing for his
soul of all that hedesireth,yet God
giveth him not power to eat there-
of, but a stranger eateth it : this is
vanity, and it is an evil disease.
3 If a man beget a hundred chil-
dren, and live many years, so that
the days of his years be many,
and his soul be not filled with
good, and also that he have no
burial ; I say, that an untimely
birth is better than he.
6 Yea, though he live a thou-
sand years twice told, yet hath he
seen no good : do not all go to one
place? . ,
7 All the labour of man is for
his mouth, and yet the appetite is
not filled.
10 That which hath been is
named already, and it is known
that it is man: neither may he
contend with him that is might-
ier then he.
11 Seeing there be many things
that increase vanity, what is
man the better?
12 For who knoweth what is
good for man in this life, all the
days of his vain life which he
spendeth as a shadow? for who
can tell a man what shall be after
him under the sun?
Ec. 7—7 Surely oppression ma,k-
eth a wise man mad; and a gift
destroyeth the heart, p. 254.
14 In the day of prosperity be
joyful, but in the day of adversity
consider: God also hath set the
one over against the other, to the
end that man should find nothing
after him.
15 All things have I seen in the
days of my vanity: there is a just
man .that perisheth in his right-
eousness, and there is a wicKed
man that prolongeth his life in
his wickedness.
20 For there is not a just man
upon earth, that doeth good, and
sinneth not.
27 Behold, this have I found,
saith the Preacher, counting one
by one, to find out the account ;
28 Which yet my soul seeketh,
but I find not : one man among a
thousand have I found ; but a wo-
man among all those have I not
found.
29 Lo, this only have I found,
that God hath made man upright ;
but they have sought out many
inventions.
Ec. 8—1 Who is as the wise man ?
and who knoweth the interpreta-
tion of a thing? a man's wisdom
maketh his face to shine, and the
boldness of his face shall be
changed, p. 145.
5 Whoso keepeth the command-
ment shall feel no evil thing; and
a wise man's heart discemeth
both time and judgment.
6 Because to every purpose there
is time and judgment, therefore
the misery of man is great upon
him.
7 For he knoweth not that
which shall be : for who can tell
him when it shall be?
8 There is no man that hath
power over the spirit to retain the
spirit; neither hath he power in
the day of death: and there is no
discharge in that war; neither
shall wickedness deliver those
that are given to it.
9 All this have I seen, and ap-
plied to my heart unto every
work that is done mider the sim:
there is a time wherein one man
ruleth over another to his own
hurt. , . , J ,
10 And so I saw the wicked bur-
ied, who had come and gone from
M
195
M
the place of the holy, and they
were forgotten in the city where
they had so done: this is also
vanity.
II Because sentence against an
evil work is not executed speedily,
therefore the heart of the sons of
men is fully set in them to do evil.
14 There is a vanity which is
done upon the earth; that there
be just men. unto whom it happen-
eth according to the work of the
wicked; again, there be wicked
men, to whom it happeneth accord-
ing to the work of tlie righteous: I
said that this also is vanity.
15 Then I commended mirth, be-
cause a man hath no better thing
under the sun, than to eat, and to
drink, and to be merry: for that
shall abide with him of his labour
the days of his life.
16 When I applied mine heart to
know wisdom, and to see the busi-
ness that is done upon the earth :
(for also there is that neither day
nor nigh t seeth sleep with his eyes:)
17 Then I beheld all the work of
God, that a man cannot find out
the work that is done under the
sun: because though a man labour
to seek it out, yet he shall not find
it; yea further; though a wise
man think to know it, yet shall he
not be able to find it.
Ec. 9—1 For all this I considered
in my heart, that the righteous,
and the wise, and their works, are
in the hand of God: no man know-
eth either love or hatred by all
that is before them.
2 All things come alike to all:
there is one event to the right-
eous, and to the wicked ■ to the
good and to the clean, and to the
unclean; to him that sacrificeth,
and to him that sacrificeth not:
as is the good, so is the sinner;
and he that sweareth, as he that
feareth an oath.
3 This is an evil among all things
that are done under the sun, that
there is one event unto all: yea,
also the heart of the sons of men
is full of evil, and madness is in
their heart while they live, and
after tliat»theygo to the dead.
II I returned, and saw under the
sun, that the race is not to the
swift, nor the battle to the strong,
neither yet bread to the wise, nor
yet riches to men of understand-
ing, nor yet favour to men of
skill ; but time and chance hap-
peneth to them all.
12 For man aLsoknoweth not his
time : as the fishes that are taken
in an evil net, and as the bird.s
that are caught in the snare; so
are the sons of men snared in
an evil time, when it falleth sud'
denly upon them.
THE POOR WISE MAN.
13 This wisdom have I seen also
under the sun, and it seemed
great unto me :
14 There was a little city, and
few men within it; and there
came a great king against it, and
besieged it, and uuilt great bul-
warks against it.
15 Now there was found in it a
poor wise man, and he by his wis-
dom delivered the city; yet no
man remembered that same poor
man.
16 Then said I, Wisdom is bet-
ter than strength: nevertheless
the poor man's wisdom isdespised.
and his words are not heard.
17 The words of wise men are
heard in quiet more than the cry
of him that ruleth among fools.
18 Wisdom is better than weap-
ons of war: but one sinner de-
stroy eth much good.
Ec. 11—7 Truly the light is sweet,
and a pleasant thing it is for the
eyes to behold the sun :
8 But if a man live many years,
and rejoice in them all; yet let
him remember the days of dark-
ness; for they shall be many. All
that cometh is vanity.
9 Rejoice, O young man, in thy
youth; and let thy heart cheer
thee in the days of thy youth, and
walk in the ways of thme heart,
and in the sight of thine eyes: but
know thou, that for all these
things God will bring thee into
judgment.
10 Therefore remove sorrow
from thy heart, and put away evil
from thy tlesh : for childhood and
youth are vanity.
Ec. 12—5 Man goeth to his long
home, and the mourners go about
the streets, p. 57.
13 Let us hear the conclusion of
the whole matter: Fear God, and
keep his commandments: for this
is the whole duty of man.
14 For God shall bring every
work into judgment, with every
secret thing, whether it be good,
or whether it be evil. See also

45 And so it is written, The first
man Adam was made a living
soul ; the last Adam was made a
quickening spirit. . , , _^,

earthy: the second man is the
Lord from heaven.
48 As is the earthy, such are
they also that are earthy : and as

also that are heavenly.

image of the earthy, we shall
also bear the image of the heav-

rupted no man, we have de-
frauded no man.
2 Co. 8—12 For if there be first a
willing mind, it is accepted ac-
cording to that a man hath, and
not according to that he hath
not.
13 For I mean not that other
men be eased, and ye burdened.
Gal. 6—1 Brethren, if a man be
overtaken in a fault, ye which are
spiritual, restore such a one m the
spirit of meekness; considering
thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
2 Bear ye one another's burdens,
and so fulfil the law of Christ.
3 For if a man think himself to
be something, when he isnothmg,
he deceivetli himself. .
4 But let every man prove his
own work, and then shall he have
rejoicing in himself alone, and not

Col. 2—8 Beware lest any man

world, and not after Christ. .

spect of a holyday, or of the new
moon, or of the sabbath days.
18 Let no man beguile you pi

9 Let the brother of low degree
rejoice in that he is exalted :
10 But the rich, in that he is
made low : because as the flower
of the grass he shall pass away.
11 For the sun is no sooner risen
with a burning heat, but it with-
ereth the grass?, and the flower
thereof falleth, and the grace of
the fashion of it perisheth: so also
shall the rich man fade away in
his ways,
12 Blessed is the man that en-
dureth temptation: for when he
is tried, he snail receive the crown
of life, which the Lord hath
promised to them that love him.
13 Let no man say when he is
tempted, I am tempted of God:
for God caimot be tempted with
evil, neither tempteth he any
man:
14 But every man is tempted,
when he is drawn away of his
own lust, and enticed.
15 Then when lust hath con-
ceived, it bringeth forth sin; and
sin, when it is finished, bringeth
forth death.
16 Do not err, my beloved
brethren.
19 Wherefore my beloved breth-
ren, let every man he swift to
hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath :
20 For the wrath of man work-
eth not the rigjhteousness of God.
Ja. 3 — 2 For in many things we
offend all. If any man offend not
in word, the same is a perfect

whole body.

conversation . his works with
meekness of wisdom.
1 Pe. 4—10 As every man hath

any man minister, let him do it as
of the ability which God giveth.
2 Pe. 2 — 19 While they promise

dash the young men to pieces ; and
they shall have no pity on the
fruit of the womb ; their eye shall
not spare children.

their children, yet will I bereave
them,that there shall not be a man

2 Ki. 2—23 And Elisha went up
from thence unto Beth-el: and as
he was going up by the way, there
came forth little children out of
the city, and mocked him, and
said unto him, Go up, thou bald ,
head ; go up, thou bald head. '
24 And he turned back, and,,
looked on them, and cursed them
in the name of the Lord. And
there came forth two she bears
out of the wood, and tare forty
and two children of them.
La. 2—11 Mine eyes do fail with
tears, because the children and
the sucklings swoon in the streets
of the city.
12 They say to their mothers.
Where is corn and wine? when
they swooned as the womided,
when their soul was pom-ed out
into their mothers' bosom.
19 Arise, cry out in the night:
in the begmning of the watches
pour out thine heart like water
before the face of the Lord: lift
up thy hands toward him for the
life of thy young children, that
faint for hunger in the top of
every street.
20 Behold, O Lord, and consider
to whom thou hast done this.
Shall the women eat their fruit,
and children of a span long? shall
the priest and the prophet be slain
in the sanctuary of the Lord?
21 The young and the old lie on
the ground in the streets : my vir-
gins and my young men are fallen
by the sword; thou hast slain
them in the day of thine anger;
thou hast killed, and not pitied.
La. 4—4 The tongue of the suck-
ing child cleaveth to the roof of his
mouth for thirst : the young chil-
dren ask bread, and no man
breaketh it unto them.
10 The hands of the pitiful wo-
men have sodden their ovn\ chil-
dren : they were their meat in the
destriiction of the daughter of my
people.
Na. 3—10 Her young children
were dashed in pieces at the top
of all the streets: and they cast
lots for her honourable men, and
all her great men were bound in

two years old and under, according
to the time which he had dili-
gently inquired of the wise men.
17 Then was fulfilled that which
was spoken by Jeremy the proph-
et, saying.
18 In Kama was there a voice
heard, lamentation, and weeping,
and great mourning, Rachel weep-
ing for her children, and would
not he comforted, because they
are not.
Je. 31—15 Thus saith the Lord ;
A voice was heard in Ramah,
lamentation, and bitter weeping;
Rachel weeping for her children
refused to be comforted for her
children, because they were not.
16 Refrain thy voice from weep-
ing, and thine eyes from tears:
for thy work shall be rewarded,
saith the Lord; and they shall
come again from the land of the
enemy.

children shall come again to

born and rebellious son. which
will not obey the voice of his fa-
ther, or the voice of his mollier,
and that, when they have chas-

them :
19 Then shall his father and his
mother lay hold on him, and bring
him out unto the elders of his
city, and unto the gate of his
place ;
20 And they shall say mito the
elders of his city. This om' son is
stubborn and rebellious, he will
iu)t obey our voice ; he is a glut-
ton, and a drunkard.

shallstone him with stones, that
he die: so shalt thou put evil
away from among you; and all
Israel shall hear, and fear.
Le. 24—10 And the son of an Is-
raelitish woman, whose father
was an Egyptian, and a man of
Israel strove together in the
camp ;
11 And the Israelitish woman's
son blasphemed the name of the
Lord and cursed. And thev
brought him unto INIoses: (and his
mother's name was Shelomitli),
12 And they put him in ward,
that the mhid of the Lord might
be shewed them.
13 And the Lord spake imto
Moses, saying,
14 Bring forth him that hath
cursed without the camp: and let
all tliat heard him lay their hands
upon his head, and let all the con-
gregation stone him.
15 And thou shalt speak unto
the children of Israel, .saving,
Whosoever curseth his God shall
bear his sin.
16 And he that blasphemeth the
204

name of the Lord, he shall surelv
be put to death, and all the coii-
gregation shall certainly stone
bim: as well the stranger, as he
that IS born in the land.
23 And Moses spake to the chil-
dren of Lsrael, that they should
bring forth him that had cursed
out of the camp, and stone him:
and the children of Lsrael did as
the Lord commanded Moses.
INLvt. 21—28 A certain mau had
two sons; and he came to the
hrst, and said. Son, go work to
day m my vineyard.
29 He answered and said, I will
not; but afterward he repented,
and went^
M And he came to the second,
and said likewise. And he an-
swered and said, I go, sir; and
went not.

the will of his father? Thev ,sav

unto them Verily I .say unto
you, Ihat the publicans and the
harlots go into the kingdom of\
Crod before you.
32 For John came unto you hi
the way of righteousness, ami ve
believed him not; but the publi-
cans and the harlots believed
him : and ye, when ye had seen it,
repented not afterward, that ye
might believe him.
Lu. 15— 11 And he said, A certain
man had two sous:
12 And»the younger of them said
to his father. Father, give me the
portion of goods that falleth to
me. And he divided unto them
his livmg.
13 And not many days after the
younger son gathered all together,
and took his journey into a far
coimtry, and there wasted his sub-
stance with riotous living.
14 And when he had spent all,
there arose a mightv famine in
that land; and he began to be in
want.
15 And he went and joined him-
self to a citizen of that country
and he sent him into his fields to
teed swine.
.10 And he would fain have filled
his belly with the husks that the
swine did eat: and no mau gave
unto him.
17 And when he came to himself
he said. How many hired servants
M
of my father's have hread enougli
and to spare, and I perish with
hunger.
18 I will arise and go to my fa-
ther, and will say unto him. Fa-
ther. I have sinned against heav-
en, and hefore thee,
10 And am no more worthy to he
called thy son: make me as one
of thy hired servants.
20 And he arose, and came to
his father'. But when he was yet
a great way off, his father saw
him, and had compassion, and ran,
and fell on his neck, and kissed
him.
21 And the son said unto him.
Father, I have sinned against
heaven, and in thy sight, and am
no more worthy to be called thy
son.
22 But the father said to his
servants. Bring forth the best
robe, and put it on him ; and put
a ring on his hand, and shoes on
his feet:
23 And bring hither the fatted
calf, and kill it; and let us eat,
and he merry:
24 For this my son was dead,
and is alive again ; he was lost,
and is found. And they began to
be men-y.
2.5 Now his elder son was m the
field: and as he came and drew
nigh to the house, he heard music
and dancing.
26 And he called one of the serv-
ants, and asked what these things
meant.
27 And he said, Thy brother is
come : and thy father hath killed
tlie fatted calf, because he hath
received him safe and somid.
28 And he was angry,and would
not go in: therefore came his fa-
ther out, and entreated him.
29 And he an.swering said to his
father, Lo, these many years do I
serve thee, neither transgressed I
at any time thy commandment;
and yet thou never gavest me a
kid.that I might make merry with
my fi'iends:
30 But as soon as this thy son
was come, which hath devoured
thy living with harlots, thou hast
killed for him the fatted calf.
31 And he said unto him, Son,
thou art ever with me,aud all that
I have is thine.
32 It was meet that we should
make meiTy, and be glad : for this
thy brother was dead, and is alive
again ; and was lost, and is found.

He. 13— 4 Marriage is honom-able
in all, and the bed undefiled : but
whoremongers and adulterers
God will judge.
De. 22—13 If any man take a
wife, and go in unto her, and hate
her,
14 And give occasions of speech
against her, and bring up an evil
name upon her, and say, I took
this woman, and when I came to
her, I found her not a maid:
15 Then shall the father of the
damsel, and her mother, take and
bring forth the tokens of the dam-
sel's virginity unto the elders of
the city in the gate:
16 And the damsel's father shall
say unto the elders, 1 gave my
daughter unto this man to wife,
and he hateth her;
17 And, lo, he hath given occa-
sions of speech against her,saying,
I found not thy daughter a maid ;
and yet these are the tokens of my
daughter's virginity. And they
shall spreivd the cloth before the
elders of the city.
18 And the elders shall take
that man and chastise him ;
19 And amerce him in a hundred
shekels of silver, and give them
unto the father of the damsel, be-
cause he hath brought up an evil
name upon a virgin of Israel : and
she shall be his M'ife; he may not
put her away all his days.
20 But if this thing: be true, and
the tokens of virginity be not
found for the damsel:
21 Then they shall bring out the
damsel to the door of her father's
house, and the men of her city
shall stone her with stones that
she die ; because she hath wrought
folly in Israel, to play the whore
in her father'shouse : so shalt thou
put evil away from among you.
22 If a man be found lying with
a woman married to a husband,
then they shall both of them die,
both the man and woman.

a man find her in the city, and lie
with her; , ,, , • ^v.
24 Then ye shall bring them
both out unto the gate of that city,
and ve shall stone them with
stones that they die ; the damsel,
becaiise she cried not, being in the
city : and the man, because he hath
humbled his neighbour's wif e :
25 But if a man find a betrothed
damsel in the field, and the man
force her, and lie with her- then
the man only that lay with her
shall die. ,. ^ ^ w, ^ •
28 If a man hnd a damsel that is
a virgin, which is not betrothed,
and lay hold on her, and lie with
her, and they be found ;
29 Then the man that lay with
her shall give unto the damsel's
father fifty shekels of silver, and
she shall be his wife ; because he
hath humbled her, he may not put
her away all his days.
De. 24—1 When a man hath
taken a wife, and married her,
and it come to pass that she find
no favour in his eyes, because he
hath foxmd some uncleanness in
her: then let him write her a bill
of divorcement, and give it in her
hand, and send her out of his
house. . , , ^
2 And when she is departed out
of his house, she may go and be
another man's wife.
3 And if the latter husband hate
her, and write her a bill of divorce-
ment, and giveth it in her hand,
and sendeth her out of his house ;
or if the latter husband die, which
took her to be his wife ;
4 Her former husband, which
sent her away, may not take her
again to be his wife, after that she
is defiled ; for that is abomination
before the Lord. p. 403.
Mat. 5—31 It hath been said,
Whosoever shall put away his
wife, let him give her a writing of
divorcement : ^,
32 But I say imto you. That who-
soever shall put away his wife,
saving for the cause of fornica-
tion, causeth her to commit adul-
tery: and whosoever shall marry
her that is divorced committeth
adultery. ^,
Mat. 19—3 The Pharisees came,
tempting him, and saying. Is it
lawful for a man to put away his
wife for every cause?
4 And he answered and said unto
them. Have ye not read, that he
which made them at the begin-
ning made them male and female,
5 And said. For this cause shall
a man leave father and mother,
and shall cleave to his wife : and
they twain shall be one nesh?
6 Wherefore they are no more
twain, but one flesh. What there-
fore God hath joined together, let
not man put asunder. .
7 They say imto him, Why did
Moses then command to give a
writing of divorcement, and to
put her away?
8 He saith unto them, Moses be-
cause of the hardness of your
hearts suffered you to put away
your wives: but from the begm-
iiing it was not so.
9 And I say unto you. Whoso-
ever shall put away his wife, ex-
cept it be for fornication, and
shall marry another, committeth
adultery: and whoso marrieth
her which is put away doth com-
mit adultery. .
10 His disciples say unto him, It
the case of the man be so with his
wife, it is not good to marry.
11 But he said unto them, AH
men cannot receive this saying,
save they to whom it is given.
Verse 12, p. 89. , , ,, .
De. 25—5 If brethren dwell to-
gether, and one of them die. and
have no child, the wife of the
dead shall not marry without
rmto a stranger: her husbands
brother shall go in unto her, and
take her to him to wife, and per-
form the duty of a husband's
brother unto her.
6 And it shall be, that the first-
born which she beareth shall suc-
ceed in the name of his brother
which is dead, that his name be
not put out of Israel.
7 And if the man like not to take
his brother's wife, then let his
brother's wife go up to the gate
imto the elders, and say. My hus-
band's brother refuseth to raise
up unto his brother a name in Is-
rael, he will not perform the duty
of my husband's brother. .
8 Then the elders of his city
shall call him, and speak unto
him: and if he .stand to it, and
say, I like not to take her;
9 Then shall his brother's wife
come unto him in the presence of
the elders, and loose his shoe from
M
207
M
off his foot, and spit in his face,
and shall answer and say, So shall
it be done unto that man that will
not build up his brother's house.
10 And his name shall be called
in Israel, The house of him that
hath his shoe loosed.
Mat. 22—23 The same day came
to him the .Sadducees, which say
that there is no resui-rectiou, and
asked him,
24 Sayuig Master, Moses said,
If a man die, having no children,
his brother shall marry his wife,
and raise up seed unto his brother.
25 Now there were with us seven
brethren: and the tirst, when he
had married a wife, deceased, and,
having no issue, left his wife unto
his brother:
26 Likewise the second also, and
the third, unto the seventh.
27 And last of all the woman died
also.
28 Therefore in the resurrection,
whose wife shall she be of the
seven? for they all had her.
29 Jesus answered and said unto
them. Ye do eiT, not knowuig the
Scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 For in the resuri'ection they
neither marry, nor are given in
marriage, but are as the angels of
God in heaven. Lu. 20, p. 247.
1 Co. 7—1 Now concerning the
things whereof ye wrote unto me :
It is good for a man not to touch
a woman.
2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornica-
tion, let every man have his own
wife, and let every woman have
her own husband.
3 Let the husband render iinto
the wife due benevolence: and
likewise also the wife unto the
husband.
4 The wife hath not power of her
own body, but the husband : and
likewise also the husband hath
not power of his own body, but
the wife.
5 Defraud ye not one the other,
except it be with consent for a
time, that ye may give yourselves
to fasting and prayer; and come
together again, that Satan tempt
you not for your incontinency.
6 But I speak this by this permis-
sion, and not of commandment.
7 For I would that all men were
even as I myself. But every man
hath his proper gift of God, one
after this manner, and another
after that.
8 I say therefore to the unmar-
ried and widows. It is good for
them if they abide even as I.
9 But if they cannot contain, let
them marry: for it is better to
marry than to burn.
10 And unto the married I com-
mand, yet not I, but the Lord,
Let not the wife depart fi"om her
husband:
11 But and if she depart, let her
remain unmarried, or be recon-
ciled to her husband: and let not
the husband put away his wife.
12 But to the rest speak I, not
the Lord: If any brother hath a
wife that believeth not, and she
be pleased to dwell with him, let
him not put her away.
13 And the woman which hath a
husband that believeth not, and
if he be pleased to dwell with
her, let her not leave him.
14 For the unbelieving husband
is sanctified by the wife, and the
lonbelieviug wife is sanctified by
the husband: else were your chil-
dren unclean ; but now are they
holy.
15 But if the unbelievuig depart,
let him depart. A brother or a
sister is not under bondage in
such cases: but God hath called
us to peace.
16 For what knowest thou. O
wife, whether thou shalt save thy
husband? or how knowest thou,
man, whether thou shalt save
thy wife? p. 50.
25 Now concerning virgins I
have no commandment of the
Lord: yet I give my judgment,
as one that hath obtained mercy
of the Lord to be faithful.
26 I suppose therefore that this
is good for the present distress,
1 say, that it is good for a man so
to be.
27 Art thou bound unto a wife?
seek not U> be loosed. Art thou
loosed from a wife? seek not a
wife.
28 But and if thou man-y. thou
hast not sinned; and if a virgin
marry, she hath not sinned. Nev-
ertheless such shall have trouble
in the flesh : but I spare you.
29 But this I say. brethren, the
time is short: it remaineth, that
both they that have wives be as
though they had none ;
,30 And they that weep, as though
they wept not ; and they that re-
joice, as though they rejoiced not ;
M
208
M
aud they that buy, as though they
possessed not ;
31 And they that use this world,
as not abusing it: for the fashion
of this world passeth away.
32 But I would have you without
carefulness. He that is unmarried
careth for the things that belong
to the Lord, how he may please
the Lord :
33 But he that is married careth
for the things that are of the
worldjhow he may please his wife.
31 There is difference also be-
tween a wife and a virgin. The
unmarried woman careth for the
things of the Lord, that she mav
be holy both in body and =n spirit :
but she that is married careth for
the things of the world, how she
may please her husband.
35 And this 1 speak for vour own
profit ; not that I may cast a snare
upon you, but for that which is
comely, and that ye mar attend
upon the Lord without distraction.
36 But if any man think that he
behaveth himself uncomely to-
ward his virgin, if she pass the
flower of her age, and need so re-
quire, let him do what he will, he
smneth not: let them marry.
37 Nevertheless he that standeth
steadfast in his heart, having no
necessitv, but hath power over his
own will, and hath so decreed in
his heart that he will keep his vir-
gin, doeth well.
38 So then he that giveth her in
marriage doeth well ; but he that
giveth her not in marriage doeth
better.
39 The wife is bound by the law
as long as her husband li veth ; but
If her husband be dead, she is at
liberty to be married to whom she
will ; only in the Lord.
40 But she is happier if she so
abide, after my judgment: and I
thmk also that I have the Spirit
of God.
Ep. 5— '22 Wives, submit your-
selves unto your own husbands,
as unto the Lord.
23 For the husband is the head
of the wife, even as Christ is the
head of the church: aud he is the
Saviour of the body.
24 Therefore as the church is
subject unto Christ, so let the
wives be to then- own husbands in
every thing.
25 Husbands, love your wives
even as Christ also loved the
church, and gaveSiimself for it •
26 That he might sanctify aud
cleanse it with the washing of
water by the word,
.27 That he might present it to
himself a glorious chm-ch, not
havmg spot, or wrinkle, or any
such thing: but that it should be
holy and without blemish.
28 So ought men to love their
wives as their own bodies. He that
lovetli his wife loveth himself.
.29 l<or no man ever yet hated
his own flesh ; but nourisheth and
cherisheth it. even as the Lord the
church:
30 For we are members of his
body, of his tlesh. and of his
bones.
31 For this cause shall a man
leave his father and mother, and
shall be joined unto his wife, and
they two shall be one flesh.
32 This is a great mystery: but
1 speak concerning Chi-ist and the
church.
33 Nevertheless, let evei-v one of
you m particular so love fiis wife
even as himself: and the wife
see that she reverence her hus-
band.
Col. 3—18 Wives, submit yoiu--
selyes unto yoiu- owu husbands,
as it IS fit in the Lord.
19 Husbands, love vour wives,
and be not bitter against them.
. 1 P^v ?— 1. Likewise, ye wives, be
m subjection to your own hus-
bands: that, if any obey not the
word, they also may without the
word be won by the conversation
of the wives;
2 While they behold vour chaste
conversation coupled with fear.
3 Whose adorning, let it not be
that outward adorning of piaiting
the hair, and of wearing of gold,
or of putting on of apparel :
4 But let it be the hidden man
of the heart, iii that which is not
corruptible, even the ornament of
a meek and quiet spirit, which is
in the sight of God of great price.
.5 I or after this manner in the
old time the holy women also,
who trusted in God, adorned
themselves, being in subjection
imto then- own husbands:
6 Even as Sarah obeved Abra-
ham, calling him lord: whose
daughters ye are, as long as ye do
well, and are not afraid with any
amazement.
7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell
with them according to knowl-
edge, giving honour unto the
M
wife, as unto tlie weaker vessel,
and as being heirs together of the
grace of life; that your prayers
be not hindered.
Ps. 128—3 Thy wife shall be as a
fi-uitful vine by tlie sides of thine
house: thy cliildren like olive
plants round about thy table.
•i Thus shall the man be blessed
that feareth tlie Lord.
Pro. .5—18 Rejoice with the wife
of thy youth.
19 Let her be as the loving hind
and i)leasant roe ; let her breasts
satisfy thee at all times, and be
thou ravished always with her
love.
Pro. 9—29 So he that goeth in
to his neighbour's wife; whoso-
ever toucheth her shall not be
innocent, p. 9.5.
Pro. 18—22 Whoso tiudeth a wife
tindeth a good thing, and obtain-
etli favour of the Lord.
Pro. 19—14 Ht)use and riches are
the inheritance of fathers: and a
prudent wife is from the Lord.
Ec. 9— 9 Live joyfully with the
wife whom thou lovest all the
days of the life of thy vanity.
Je. 5—8 They were as fed lior-ses
in the morning; every one neighed
after his neighbour's wife.
Eze. 33—26 Ye work abomina-
tion, and ye defile every one his
neighbour's wife: and shall ye
possess the land?
Mi. 7—5 Trust ye not in a friend,
put ye not confidence in a guide :
keep the doors of thy mouth from
her that lieth in thy bosom.
Mai. 2—15 Take heed to your
spirit, and let none deal treacher-
ously against the wife of his youth .
DEATH OF EZEKIEL'S WIFE.
Eze. 24 — 15 Also the word of the
Lord came unto me, saying,
16 Son of man, behold, I take
away from thee the desire of
thine eyes with a stroke: yet
neither shalt tliou mouni nor
weep, neither shall thy tears run
down.
17 Forbear to cry, make no
mourning for the dead, bind the
tire of thine head upon thee, and
put on thy shoes upon thy feet,
and cover not thy lips, and eat
not the bread of men.
18 So I spake unto the people in
the morning: and at even my
wife died ; and I did in the morn-
ing as I was commanded.
Pro. 11—22 As a jewel of gold in
a swine's .snout, so is a fair woman
wliicli is without discretion.
Pro. 12 — 4 A virtuous woman is
a crown to her husband: but she
that maketh ashamed is as rot-
tenness in his bones.
Pro. 21—9 It is better to dwell in
a corner of the housetop, than
with a brawling woman in a wide
house.
19 It is better to dwell in the
wilderness, than with a conten-
ti(jus and an angiy woman.
Pro. 27—15 A continual dropping
in a very rainy day and a conten-
tious M'oman are alike.
Pro. 31—10 Who can find a vir-
tuous woman? for her price is far
above rabies.
11 The heart of her husband dotli
.safely trust in her, so that he shall
have no need of spoil.
12 She will do him good and
not evil all the days of her life.
13 She seeketh wool, and tlax,
and worketh willingly.
14 She is like the merchants'
ships; she bringethher food from
afar.
15 She riseth also wliile it is yet
night, and giveth meat to her
hou.sehold, and a portion to her
maidens.
16 She considereth a field, and
buyeth it: with the fruit of her
hands she planteth a vineyard.
18 She perceiveth that her mer-
chandise is good : her candle go-
eth not out by night.
19 She layeth her hands to the
spindle, and her hands hold the
dLstaff.
20 Slie stretcheth out her hand
to the poor; yea, she reacheth
forth her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of the snow
for her houseliold: for all her
household are clothed with
scarlet.
22 She maketh herself coverings
of tapestry; her clothing is silk
and piu'ple.
23 Her husband is known in the
gates, when he sitteth among the
elders of the land.
24 Slie maketh fine Imeu, and
selleth it; and delivereth girdles
unto the merchant.
M
210
M
25 Strength and honour are her
clothing; and she shall rejoice in
time to come.
26 She openeth her mouth with
wisdom \ and in her tongue is the
law of kindness.
27 She looketh well to the ways
of her household, and eateth not
the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise up, and call
her blessed ; her husband also,and
he praiseth her.
29 Many daughters have done
virtuously, but thou excellest
them all.
30 Favoixr is deceitful, and beau-
ty is vain : but a woman that f ear-
eth the Lord, she shall be praised.
Ec. 7—26 I find more bitter than
death the woman, whose heart is
snares and nets, and her hands as
bands: whoso pleaseth God shall
escape from her; but the sinner
shall be taken by her. p. 194.
Je. 4—30 And when thou art
sijoiled, what wilt thou do?
Though thou clothest thyself
with crimson, though thou deck-
est thee with ornaments of gold,
though thou rentest thy face with
painting, in vain shalt thou make
thyself fair; thy lovers will de-
spise thee.
Is. 32—9 Rise up, ye women that
are at ease; hear my voice, ye
careless daughters ; give ear xmto
my speech.
10 Many days and years shall ye
be troubled, ye careless women:
for the vintage shall fail, the
gathering shall not come.
11 Tremble, ye women that are
at ease; be troubled, ye careless
ones: strip you, and make you
bare, and gird sackcloth upon
your loins.
Is. 49—15 Can a woman forget
her sucking child, that sbe should
not have compassion on the sou of
her womb?
Je. 31—22 How long wilt thou go
about, O thou backsliding daugn-
ter? for the Lord hath created a
new thing in the earth, A woman
shall compass a man.
Ps. 58—8 As a snail which melt-
eth, let every one of them pass
away : like the untimely birth of a
woman, that they may not see the
sun.
Job 25—4 How then can man be
iustitied with God? or how can
he be clean that is born of a
woman?
Jno. 16—21 A woman when she
is in travail hath sorrow, because
her .hour is come: but as soon as
she is delivered of the child, she
remembereth no more the an-
guish, for joy that a man is born
into the world.
I Co. 11—3 But I would have you
know, that the head of every man
is Christ ; and the head of the wo-
man is the man ; and the head of
Christ is God.
4 Every man praying or proph-
esying, having his head covered,
dishonouretli his head.
5 But every woman that prayeth
or prophesieth with her head xxii-
covered dishonouretli her head:
for that is even all one as if she
were shaven.
6 For if the woman be not cov-
ered, let her also be shorn : but if
it be a shame for a woman to be
shorn or shaven, let her be cov-
ered.
7 For a man indeed ought not
to cover his head, forasmuch as he
isthe image and glory of God: but
the woman is the glory of the man.
8 For the man is not of the wo-
man ; but the woman of the man.
9 Neither was the man created
for the woman; but the woman
for the man.
10 For this cause ought the wo-
man to have power on her head
because of the angels.
II Neither is the man without
the woman, neither the woman
without the man, in the Lord.
12 For as the woman is of the
man, even so is the man also by
the woman ; but all things of God.
13 Judge in yourselves: is it
comely that a woman pray unto
God uncovered?
14 Doth not even nature itself
teach you, that if a man have long
hair, it is a shame unto him?
15 But if a woman have long
hair, it is a glory to her: for her
hair is given her for a covering.
16 But if any man seem to be
contentious, we have no such cus-
tom, neither the churches of God.
1 Co. 14—34 Let your women keep
silence in the chui-ches: for it is
not permitted unto them to speak ;
but to be under obedience, as also
saith the law.
35 And if they will learn any
thing,let them ask their husbands
at home: for it is a shame for
women to speak in the church.
M
211
M
I Ti. 2—8 I will therefore that
men pray every where, liftmg up
holy hauds, without wrath and
doubting.
9 That women adorn themselves
in modest apparel, with shanie-
facedness and sobriety; not with
braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or
costly array ;
10 But (which becometh women
professing godliness) with good
works.
II Let the woman learn m si-
lence with all subjection.
12 But I suffer not a woman to
teach, nor to usurp authority over
the man, but to be in silence.
13 For Adam was first formed,
then Eve. p. 183.
14 And Adam was not deceived,
but the woman being deceived
was in the transgression.
15 Notwithstanding she shall be
saved in childbearing, if they con-
tinue in faith and charity and
holiness witli sobriety.
Tit. 2—3 The aged women like-
wise, that they be in behaviour
as becometh holiness, not false
accusers, not given to much wine,
teachers of good things;
4 That they may teach the yomig
women to be sober, to love then'
husbands, to love their children,
5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers
at home, good, obedient to then-
own husbands, tliat the word of
God be not blasphemed.
Ex. 22—16 And if a man entice a
maid that is not betrothed, and
lie with her, he shall surely en-
dow her to be his wife.
17 If her father utterly refuse
to give her unto him, he sliall pay
money according to the dowry ol
virgins.
Job. 31—1 I made a covenant
with mine eyes: why tlien should
1 think upon a maid?
Je. 2—32 Can a maid forget her
ornaments, or a bride her attire?
Pro. 30. 19, p. 279.
Women to be ravished and
ripped up by the Lord's command.
Is. 13—16 Their- children also
shall be dashed to pieces before
their eyes; their houses shall be
spoiled, and their wives ravished.
La. 5—11 They ravished the wo-
men in Zion, and the maids in the
cities of Judah.
Zee. 14—2 For I will gather all
nations against Jervisalem to bat-
tle- and the city shall be taken,
and the houses ritled, and the
women ravished, p. 485.
2 Ki. 15—16 Then Menahem
smote Tiphsah, and all that were
therem: oecause they opened not
to him, therefore he smote it ; and
all the women therein that were
with child he ripped up.
Ho. 13—16 Samaria shall become
desolate; for .she hath rebelled
against her God: they sliall fall
by tlie sword : their infants shall
be dashed in pieces, and their
women with child shall be ripped
up.
Am. 1— 13ir Thus saith the Lord :
For three trausgi-essions of the
children of Amnion, and for four,
I will not turn away the punish-
ment thereof ; because they have
ripped up the women with child,
of Gilead, that they might en-
large their border.

widow, or fatherless child.
23 If thou afflict them in any
wise, and they cit at all unto me,
I will surely hear their cry ;
24 And my wrath shall wax hot,
and I will kill you with the sword ;
and your wives shall be widows,
and your children fatherless.
De.24— 17 Thou shall not pervert
the judgment of the stranger,
nor of the fatherless; nor take a
widow's raiment to pledge.
Is. 1—17 Learn to do well ; seek
judgment, relieve the oppressed,
judge the fatherless, plead for the
widow.
23 They judge not the father-
less, neither doth the cause of the
widow come unto them. p. 34.
Is. 47—8 1 shall not sit as a widow,
neither shall 1 know the loss of
children:
9 But these two things shall
come to thee in a moment in one
day, the loss of children, and wid-
owhood. See Re. 18. 7, p. 531.

Je, 15—8 Their widows are in-
creased to me above the sand of
the seas: I have brought upon
them against the mother of the
young men a spoiler at noonday.
9 She tliat hath home seven lan-
guisheth: she hath given up the
ghost ; her sun is gone down while
it was yet day.
Je. 49—11 Leave thy fatherless
children, I will preserve them
alive ; and let thy widows trust in
me.
La. 5—3 We are orphans and
fatherless, oiir mothers are as
widows.
Job 22—9 Thou sent widows
away empty, and the arms of the
fatherless have been broken, p. 385.
Job 24—3 They drive away the
ass of the fatherless, they take
the widow's ox for a pledge.
Job 29—13 The blessing of him
that was ready to pei'ish came
upon me : and I caused the widow's
heart to sing for joy. p. 386.
1 Ti. 5—1 Rebuke not an elder,
but entreat him as a father; and
the younger men as brethren ;
2 The elder women as mothers;
the younger as sisters, with all
purity.
3 Honour widows that are wid-
ows indeed.
4 But if any widow have children
or nephews, let them leani tirst to
shew piety at home, and to requite
their parent : for that is good and
acceptable before God.
5 Now that she is a widow in-
deed, and desolate, trusteth in
God, and continueth in supplica-
tions and prayers night and day.
6 But she that liveth in pleasure
is dead while she liveth.
9 Let not a widow be taken into
the number under threescore years
old, having been the wife of one
man,
10 Well reported of for good
works; if she have brought up
children, if she have lodged stran-
gers, if she have washed the saints'
feet, if she have relieved the af-
flicted, if she have diligently fol-
lowed every good work.
11 But the younger widows re-
fuse: for when they have begun
to wax wanton against Christ they
will marry;
12 Having damnation, because
they have cast off their hrst faith.
13 And withal they learn to he
idle, wandering about from house
to house: and not only idle, but
tattlersalso and busy bodies, speak-
ing things which they ought not.
14 I will therefore that the
younger women marry, bear chil-
dren, guide the house, give none
occasion to the adversary to speak
reproachfully.
15 For some are already turned
aside after Satan.
16 If any man or woman that
believeth have widows, let them
relieve them, and let not the
church be charged; that it may
relieve them that are widows
iudeed.

Ex. 21—12 He that smiteth a
man, so that he die, shall be
surely put to death.
13 And if a man lie not in wait,
but God deliver him into his
hand; then I will appoint thee
a place whither he shall flee.
14 But if a man come presumpt-
uously upon his neighbour, to
slay him with guile; thou shalt
take him from mine altar, that he
may die.
Nu. 35—9 And the Lord spake
unto Moses, saying,
10 Speak unto the children of Is-
rael, and say unto them, Wlien ye
be come over Jordan into the land
of Canaan,
11 Then ye shall appoint you
cities to be cities of refuge for
you- that the slayer may flee
thither, which killeth any person
at unawares.
12 And they shall be unto you
cities for refuge from the aven-
ger; that the manslayer die not,
until he stand before the congre-
gation in judgment.
13 And of these cities which ye
shall give, six cities shall ye have
for refuge.
14 Ye shall give three cities on
this side Jordan, and three cities
shall ye give in the land of Canaan,
which shall be cities of refuge.
M
213
M
15 These six cities shall be a ref-
uge, both for the childreu of Is-
rael, and for the stranger, and for
tlie sojourner among them; that
every one that killeth any person
unawares may tiee thither.
16 And if he smite him with an
instrument of iron, so that he die,
he is a murderer: the murderer
shall surely; be put to death.
17 And if he smite him with
throwing a stone, wherewith he
may die, and he die, he is a mur-
derer: the raiu'derer shall sui'ely
be put to death.
18 Or if he smite him with a
hand weapon of wood, wherewith
he may die, and he die, he is a
mm"derer: the murderer shall
surely be put to death.
19 The revenger of blood him-
self shall slay the murderer:
when he nieeteth him, he shall
slay him.
20 But if he thrust him of ha-
tred, or hurl at him by laying of
wait, that he die ;
21 Or in emnity smite him with
liis hand, that he die: he that
smote him shall siu-ely be put to
death; for he is a murderer: the
revenger of blood shall slay the
mui'derer, when lie nieeteth him.
22 But if he thrust him sud-
denly without emnity, or have
cast upon him anything without
laying of wait,
23 Or with any stone, where-
with a man may die, seeing him
not, and cast it upon him, that he
die, and was not his enemy, nei-
ther sought his harm :
24 Then the congregation .shall
judge between the slayer and the
revenger of blood according to
these judgments:
25 And the congregation shall
deliver the slayer out of the hand
of the revenger of blood, and the
congregation shall restore him to
the city of his refuge, whitlier he
was tied: and he shall abide in it
unto the death of the high priest,
which was anointed with the
holy oil.
26 But if the slayer shall at any
time come without tlie border of
the city of his refuge, whither he
was fled ;
27 And the revenger of blood
find him without the borders of
the city of his refuge, and the re-
venger of blood kill the slayer;
he snail not be guilty of blood:
28 Because he should have re-
mained in the city of las refuge
until the death of the high priest :
but after the death of the high
priest the slayer shall retmni into
the land of his posses.sion.
29 !So these things sliall be for a
statute of judgment unto you
throughout ^-Dtir generations in
all youi- dwellings.
30 Whoso killeth any person, the
murderer .shall be pirt to death by
the mouth of witnesses: but one
witness shall not te.stify against
any person to cause him to die.
31 Moreover ye shall take no sat-
isfaction for the life of a murder-
er, which is guilty of death: but
he shall be surely put to death.
32 And ye shall take no satisfac-
tion for hnn that is fled to the city
of his refuge, that he should come
again to dwell in the land, until
the death of the priest.
33 So ye shall not ^TOllute the
land wherein ye are: tor blood it
deflleth the land: and the laud
cannot be cleansed of the blood
that is shed therein, but by the
blood of him that .shed it.
34 Deflle not therefore the land
which ye shall inhabit, wlierem I
dwell: for I the Lord dwell
among the children of Israel.
De. 21—1 If one be found slain
in the land which the Lord tliy
God giveth thee to possess it, ly-
ing in the field, and it be nof
known who hath slain him:
2 Then thy elders and thy judges
shall come forth, and they .shall
measure unto tlie cities which are
round about him that is slain :
3 And it shall be, that the city
which is next unto the slain man,
even the elders of that city shall
take a heifer, which hatli not
b^en wrouglit with, and which
hath not drawn in the yoke ;
■ 4 And the elders of that city
shall bring down the heifer unt6
a rough valley, which is neither
eared nor sown, and shall strike
oif the heifer's neck there in the
valley.
5 And the priests the sons of
Levi shall come near; for them
the Lord thy God hath chosen to
minister unto him, and to bless in
the name of the Lord; and by
their word shall every controver-
sy and every stroke be tried:
C And all the elders of that city,
that are next unto the slain man.
M

shall wash their hands over the
heifer that is beheaded iu the
valley:
7 And they shall say, Our hands
have not shed this blood, neither
have our eyes seen it.
8 Be merciful, O Lord, and lay
not innocent blood unto thy peo-
ple of Israel's charge. And the
blood shall be forgiven them.

God: for God is in heaven, and
thou upon earth : therefore let thy

me with their mouth, and with
their lips do honour me, but have

into the mouth defileth a man ;
but that which cometh out.
18 But those things which pro-
ceed out of the mouth come forth
from the heart; and they defile
the man.
19 For out of the heart proceed
evil thoughts, murders.adulteries,
fornications, thefts, false witness,
blasphemies:
20 These are the things which de-
file a man: but to eat with mi-
washen hands defileth not a man.

munication proceed out of your
mouth, but that which is good to
the use of edifying, that it may
minister grace unto the hearers.

PRIEST AND LEVITES.
Melchizedek, King of Salem,
Jerusalem ; the First Priest, " The
Priest of the Most High God."
No one seems to know anything
about this man; yet some claim
that he was Christ, the first Christ,
the Christ who was with God be-
fore the world was. See Jesus
Christ, " The First and the Last,"
p. 490-496, and Re. 22. 13, 16, p. 536,
and Ge. 14. 17-20; He. 7. 1-6, follow-
ing, and He. 5. 6-11 and Ps. iio. 4,
p. 224.
Ge. 14—17 And the king of Sodom
went out to meet Abram, after
his return from the slaughter of
Chedorlaomer and of the kings
that were with him, at the valley
of Shaveh, which is the king's dale.
18 And Melchizedek king of Sa-
lem brought forth bread and
wine: and he was the priest of
the most high God.
19 And he Dlessed him, and said
Blessed be Abram of the most
high God, possessor of heaven and
earth:
20 And blessed be the most high
God, which hath delivered thine
enemies into thy hand. And he
gave him tithes of all. p. 404.
He. 7—1 For this Meichisedec,
king of Salem, priest of the most
high God, who met Abraham re-
turning from the slaughter of the
kings, and blessed him ;
2 To whom also Abraham gave
a tenth part of all ; first being by
interpretation King of righteous-
ness, and after that also King of
Salem, which is. King of peace:
3 Without father, without moth-
er, without descent^ having nei-
ther beginning of days, nor end
of life: but made like unto the
Son of God ; abideth a priest con-
tinually.
4 Now consider how great this
man was, unto whom even the
patriarch Abraham gave the tenth
of the spoils.
5 And verily they that are of
the sons of Levi, who receive the
oflSce of the priesthood, have a
commandment to take tithes of
the people according to the law,
that is, of their brethren, though
they come out of the loins of
Abraham :
6 But he whose descent is not
counted from themreceived tithes
of Abraham, and blessed him that
had the promises.
Aaron and his sons of the tribe
of Levi are set apart for the
Priest's office (none but perfect
men to be priests, Le. 21. 16-24).
The other male members of the
tribe of Levi are to have charge
of the Tabernacle and its furni-
ture, and also to be assistant to
the Priests, etc. The Priests' Holy
Garments: The Priests' and Le-
vites' Consecration; how the
Priest and Levites are to be paid

Christ as a Prophet and Christ
as a High Priest.
Jno.5— 46 Had ye believed Moses,
ye would have believed me: for
Le wrot« of me. Moses made no
mention of Christ in any of his
writings. The Prophet six)ken of
by Moses in De. 18. 15-22, following,
is referred to by Peter m Ac. 3. 20-
23, following, as proof that Christ
was that Prophet. Yet, from an
imoartial reading of De. 18. 15-22,
ana to the end of the book of
Deuteronomy, it isclearand plain
to any unbiased mind that Joshua
was the prophet spoken of by Mo-
ses, and not Jesus Christ, whom
the New Testament writers would
have us believe was the man. See
the following: —
De 18—15 The Loed thy God
will raise up unto thee a Prophet
from the midst of thee, of thy
brethren, like unto me ; unto him
ve shall hearken :
16 According to all that thou
desiredst of the Lord thy God in
Horeb in the day of the assembly,
saving. Let me not hear again the
voice of the Lord my God, neither
let me see this great fire any more,
that I die not. Ex. 20, p. 46.
17 And the Lord said unto me,
They have well sjwken that which
they have spoken.
18 1 will raise them up a Prophet
from among their brethren, like
unto thee, and will put my "words
in his mouth: and he shall speak
unto them all that I shall com-
mand him.

whosoever will uot hearken iruto
my words which he shall speak in
.jay name, I will reqnire it of him.

api'ssunie to speak a word in my
name, which I have. not com-
manded him to. speak, oc that
■shall speak in the. name of othei-
.gods, even that prophet shall dje.
. , 21 And if thou say in thine heart,
•How «hal-l we . know the word
-which the Lukd hath not spoken?
.,,22 When a prophet speaketh in
Ithename of the Lord, if the thing
follow nyt, nor come to pass, that
,is the thing which the Lokd hath
'not spoken, but, the prophet hath
;spoken it -prt^sumptuously : thou
Shalt not be airaid of him.
De. 34—10 And there arose not a
prophet since in Israel, like tuito
Moses, whom the LoKti knew face
to face. p. 167.
- Ac./3— 20 And he shall send JeSus

vUnto you:
;.. 21 Whom the hea/veu must re-
Iceive' until the times of restitu-
tion of all things, which God hath
'spoken by themouthof alihis holy
iprophets since the world began.
iM22 For Moses truly said unto- the
fathers, A Prophet shall the Lord
your God raise up unto you of
vour brethi-en, like, unto me ; him
shall ye hear in all things whatso-
ever he shall say unto you.
1 . 23 And it shall come to pass, that
•every soul, which will not hear
that Prophet, slia'll be destroyed.
Mat. 21—10 And when he was
come into Jerusalem, all the city
iwas moved, saying, Who is this?
11 And the multitude said. This
is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth
of Galilee, p. 511.
! He. &— 1 For every high priest
taken from among men isordained
for men in things pertainmg to
God, that he may offer both gifts
and sacrifices for sins. See He. 3.
2 Who can have compassion on
the ignorant, and on them that
are out of the way ; for that he
himself also is compassed with
infirmity.
3 And by reason hereof he ought,
as for the people, so also for him-
self, fo offer for sms.
4 And. no man taketh this hon-
our unto himself, but he that is
called of God, as was Aaron.
5. -So also Christ glorified not
himself to be made a high prie.st ;
but he that said unto hiniv Thou
ait my Son, to day liave I begot-
ten thee. : , • . ■, . :
6 As he saith also in anotheir
place. Thou art a priest for ever
after the order of Melchisedec.
(PSillO— 4 The LoRDhath sworn,
and' will not repent. Thou art a
priest for ever after the order of
Melchizedek.)
7 Who in the days of his flesh,
when he had offered Upi prayei-s
and supplications with strong.cry-
iiig and tears unto him that was
able to save him from death.
8 Though he were a Son, yet
leaniedhe obedience by the things
which he suffered ; . - '
9 And being made perfect, he
became the author of eternal -«al-
vaticaa unto all them that obey
'him;!
10 Galled of God a high priest
after the orderiof Melchisedec. :

ing ye are dull of hearing. ■
..THE SEVENTY ELDER&:-'"
jNu; 11— 24:Aiid Moses gathered
the seventy men of the elders of
the people, and set them rouiid
about the tabernacle.
25 And the Lord came down in
a cloud, and spake unto him, and
took of the spirit that was upon
him, and gave it unto the seventy
eldei-s: and it came to pass, that,
when the spirit rested upon them,
they prophesied,and did notcease.
26 But there reniamed two of
the men in the camp, the name of
the one was Eldad, aud the name
of the other Medad: and the spirit
rested upon them ; and they were
of them that were wi-itten, but
went not out unto the tabernacle :
and they prophesied in the camp,
27 And there ran a young man,
and told Moses, and said Eldad
and Medad do prophecy in the
camp.
28 And Joshua the son of Nun,
the servant of Moses, one of his
vomig men, answered and said.
My lord Moses, forbid them.
29 And Moses said unto him,
Enviest thou for my sake? would
God that all the Lord's people
were prophets, and that the Lord
would put his Spirit iipon them.
225
"The Prophets of Baal four liun-
dred and fifty, and the prophets
of the groves four hundred."
1 Ki. 18—1 And it came to pass
after many days, that the word of
the Lord came to Elijah in the
third year, saying, Go, shew thy-
self unto Ahab.
2 And Elijah went to shew him-
self imto Ahab. And there was a
sore famine in Samaria.
3 And Ahab called Obadiah,
which was the governor of his
house. (Now Ubadiah feared the
Lord greatly:
4 For it was so.when Jezebel cut
off the prophets of the Lord, that
Obadiali took a hundred prophets,
and hid them by fifty in a cave,
and fed them with bread and
water.)
7 And as Obadiah was in the
way, Elijah met him: and he
knew him, and fell on his face,
and said. Art thou that my lord
Elijah?
8 And he answered him, I am:
go, tell thy lord, Behold. Elijah is
here.
16 So Obadiah went to meet
Ahab, and told him: and Ahab
went to meet Elijah.
17 And it came to pass, when
Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said
unto him. Art thou he that troub-
leth Israel?
18 And he answered, I have not
troubled Israel ; but thou, and thy
father's hoiise, in that ye have
forsaken the commandments of
the Lord, and thou hast followed
Baalim.
19 Now therefore send, and gath-
er to me all Israel unto Mount Car-
mel.and the prophets of Baal four
hundred and fifty, and the proph-
ets of the groves four hundred,
which eat at Jezebel's table.
20 So Ahab sent unto all the chil-
dren of Israel, and gathered the
prophets together unto mount
Carmel.
21 And Elijah came unto all the
people, and said. How long halt
ye between two opinions? if the
Lord be God, follow him: but if
Baal, then follow him. And the
people answered him not a word.
22 Then said Elijah unto the peo-
ple,!, even I only, remain a prophet
of the Lord; but Baal's prophets
are four hundred and fifty men.
23 Let them therefore give us
two bullocks ; and let them choose
one bullock for themselves, and
cut it in pieces,and lay it on wood,
and put no tire under: and I •will
dress the other bullock, and lay it
on wood, and put no tire under:
24 And call ye on the name of
your gods, and I will call on the
name of the Lord: and the God
that answereth by fire, let him be
God. And all the people answered
and said, It is well spoken.
25 And Elijah said unto the
prophets of Baal, Choose you one
bullock for youi-selves, and dress
it first; for ye are many; and call
on the name of your gods, but put
no fire under.
26 And they took the bullock
which was given them, and rhey
dressed it, and called on the name
of Baal from morning even until
noon, saying. O Baal, hear us.
But there was no voice, nor any
that answered. And tliey leaped
upon the altar which was macfe.
27 And it came to pass at noon,
that Elijah mocked them, and
said. Cry aloud: for he is a god;
either he is talking, or he is pur-
sviing, or he is in a journey, or per-
adventure he sleepeth, and must
be awaked.
28 And they cried aloud, and cut
themselves after their manner
with knives and lancets, till the
blood gushed out upon tbem.
29 And it came to pass, when
midday was past, and they proph-
esied until the time of the offeruig
of the evening sacrifice, tbat there
was neither voice, nor any to an-
swer, nor any that regarded.
30 And Elijah said unto all the
people. Come near unto me. And
all the people came near unto him.
And he repaired the altar of the
Lord that was broken down.
31 And Elijah took twelve stones,
according to the number of the
tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto'
whom the word of the Lord came,
saying, Israel shall be thy name :
32 And with the stones he built
an altar in the name of the Lord:
and he made a trench about the
altar, as great as would contain
two measures of seed.
33 And he put the wood in order,
and ciit the Dullock in pieces, and
laid him on the wood, and said,
Fill four barrels with water, and
pour it on the burnt sacrifice, and
on the wood.
226
34 And lie said, Do it the second
time. And they did it tlie second
time. And he said, Do it tlie
third time. And they did it the
third time.
35 And the water ran round
about the altar; and he filled
the trench also with water.
36 And it came to pass at the
time of the offering of the evening
sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet
came near, and said. Lord God of
Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let
it be known this day that thou
art God in Israel, and that I am
thy servant, and that I have done
all these things at thy word.
37 Hear me, O Lord, hear me,
tkat this people may Know that
thou art the Lord God, and that
thou hast turned their heart back
again.
38 Then the fire of the Lord fell,
and consumed the burnt sacrifice,
and the wood, and the stones, and
the dust, and licked up the water
that was in the trench.
39 And when all the people saw
it, they fell on their faces: and
they said. The Lord he is the
God ; the Lord he is the God.
40 And Elijah said mito them,
Take the prophets of Baal ; let not
one of them escape. And they
took them: and Elijah brought
them down to the brook Kishon,
and slew them there, p. 249.
The Prophets of Baal slaugh-
tered by Jehu's command.
2 Ki. 10—18 And Jehu gathered
all the people together, and said
unto them, Ahab served Baal a
little: but Jehu shall serve him
much.
19 Now therefore call unto me
all the prophets of Baal, all his
servants, and all his priests; let
none be wanting: for I have a
great sacrifice to do to Baal ; who-
soever shall be wanting, he shall
not live. But Jehu did it in sub-
tilty, to the intent that he might
destroy the worshippers of Baal.
20 Aiid Jehu said. Proclaim a
solemn assembly for Baal. And
they proclaimed it.
21 And Jehu sent through all Is-
rael: and all the worshippers of
Baal came, so that there was not
a man left that came not. And
they came into the house of Baal ;
and the iiouse of Baal was full
from one end to another.
22 And he said unto him that
was over the vestry. Bring forth
vestments for all the worshippers
of Baal.
23 And Jehu went, and Jehona-
dab, into the house of Baal, and
said. Search, and look that there
be here with you none of the ser-
vants of the Lord.
24 And when they went in to
offer sacrifices and bm-nt offer-
ings, Jehu appointed foiu'score
men without, and said. If any of
the men whom I have brought
into your hands escape, he that
letteth him go, his life shall be
for the life of him.
25 And as soon as he had made
an end of offering the burnt of-
fering, Jehu said. Go in, and slay
them ; let none come forth. And
they smote them with the edge
of the sword ; and the guard and
the captains cast them out.
PRIESTS AND PROPHETS.
The corrupt Priest and Pi-ophets
were the cause of the downfall of
the Jewish people. See also Josh-
ua the high priest. Zee. 3, p. 482.

Women Prophets, p. 548.
Is. 28—7 The priest and the
prophet have erred through strong
drink, they are swallowed up of
wme, they are out of the way
through strong drink ; they err in
vision, thev stumble in judgment.
Is. 30—10 Which say to the seers.
See not; and to the prophets.
Prophesy not unto us right things,
speak linto us smooth things,
prophesy deceits.
Je. 1—4 Then the word of the
Lord came unto Jeremiah, say-
ing
5 feefore I formed thee in the
belly I knew thee ; and before thou
earnest forth out of the womb I
sanctified thee, and I ordained
thee a prophet unto the nations.
Je. 5—13 The prophets shall be-
come wind, and the word is not
in them.
30 A wonderful and horrible
thing is committed in the land;
31 The prophets prophesy false-
ly, and the priests bear rule by
227
their means; and my people love
to have it so: and what will ye do
in the end theieof?
Je.6— 13 From the least of them
even unto the greatest of them
every one is given to covetous-
ness; and from the prophet e^en
unto the priest every one dealeth
falsely. Je. 8. 10, p. 222.
Je. 23 — 9 Mine heart within me
is hroken because of the prophets ;
all my bones shake: I am like a
drunken man, and like a man
whom wine hath overcome, be-
cause of the Lord, and because of
the words of his holiness.
10 For the land is full of adul-
terers; for because of swearing
the land mourneth; the pleasant
places of the wilderness are dried
up, and theu' course is evil, and
their force is not right.
11 For both prophet and priest
are profane; yea, in my house
have I found tlieir wickedness,
saith the Lord.
12 Wherefore their way shall be
unto them as slippery ways in tlie
darkness: they shall be driven on,
and fall therein : for I will bring
evil upon them, even the year of
f their visitation, saith the Lord.
' 13 And I have seen folly in the
prophets of Samaria; they proph-
esied in Baal, and caused my peo-
ple Lsrael to err.
14 I have seen also in the proph-
ets of Jerusalem a horrible thing:
they commit adultery, aud walk
in lies: they strengthen also the
hands of evil doers, that none doth
return from his wickedness: they
are all of them unto me as Sodom,
and the inhabitants thereof as Go-
miorrah.
15 Therefore thus saith the Lord
of hosts concerning the prophets;
Behold, 1 will feed them witli
wormwood, and make them drink
the water of gall: for from the
prophets of Jeiiisalem is profane-
uess gone forth into all the land.
16 Thus saith the Lord of hosts.
Hearken not unto the words oi
the prophets that prophesy unto
you; they make you vain: they
speak a vision of their own heart,
and not out of the mouth of the
Lord.
21 I have' not sent these proph-
ets, yet they ran: 1 have not
spoken to them, yet they proph-
esied:
22 But if they had stood in mv
counsel, and had caused my peo-
ple to hear my M'ords, then tliey
should have turned them from
their evil way, and from the evil
of their doings.
2.0 1 have heard what the proph-
ets said, that prophesy lies in my
name, saying, 1 have dreamed, I
have dreamed.
26 How long shall this be in the
heart of the prophets that proph-
esy lies? yea, they are prophets of
the deceit of their own heart ;
27 Which think to cause my peo-
ple to forget my name by their
dreams, which they tell eveiT man
to his neighbour, as their fathers
have forgotten my name for Baal.
28 The prophet that hath a
dream, let him tell a dream ; and
he that hath my word, let him
speak my word faithfully. What
is the chaff to the wheat? saith
the Lord.
29 Is not my word like as a fire?
saith the Lord; and like a ham-
mer that breaketh the rock ui
pieces?
30 Therefore, behold, I am
against the prophets, saith the
Lord, that steal my words every
one from his neighbour.
31 Behold, I am against tlie
prophets, saith the Lord, that use
their tongues, and say. He saith.
32 Behold, I am against them
that prophesy false dreams, saith
the Lord, and do tell them, and
cause my people to err by thek
lies, and by their lightness: yet I
sent them hot, nor commanded
them.
Je. 28—15 Then said the prophet
Jeremiah mito Hauaiiiah the
prophet. Hear now, Hanauiah;
The Lord hath not sent thee;
biit thou makeh this people to
trust in a lie.
lOThereforethussaiththe Lord ;
Behold, 1 will cast thee from off
the face of the earth: this year
thoii Shalt die, because thou hast
taught rebellion against the Lord.
17 So Hananiah the prophet died
the same year in the seventh
month.
Je. 31—14 And I will satiate the
.soiil of the priests with fatness,
and my people shall be satisiied
with my goodness, saith the Lord.
La. 4—13 For the sins of her
prophets, and the iniquities of her
priests, that haA'e shed the blood
of the just in the midst of her.
228
14 They have wandered as blind
men in the streets, they have pol-
luted themselves with blood, so
that men could not touch theii'
garments.
Eze. 13—1 And the word of the
Lord came iinto me, saying,
2 Son of man, prophesy against
the prophets of Isi'ael that proph-
esy, and say thou unto them that
prophesy out of their own hearts.
Hear ye the word of the Lord;
3 Thus saith the Lord God ; Woe
unto the foolish prophets, that
follow their own spirit, and have
seen nothing!
4 O Israel, thy prophets are like
the foxes in the deserts.
5 Ye have not gone J.p into the
gaps, neither made vip the hedge
for the house of Israel to stand
in the battle in the day of the
Lord.
6 The^ have seen vanity and
lying divination, saying, The
Lord saith: and the Lord hath
not sent them: and they have
made others to liope that they
would confirm the word.
7 Have ye not seen a vain vision,
and have ye not spoken a lying
divination, whereas ye say, The
Lord saith it; albeit I have not
spoken?
8 Therefore thus saith the Loi-d
God; Because ye have spoken
vanity, and seen lies, therefore,
behold, J am against you, saith the
Lord God.
9 And mine hand shall be upon
the prophets that see vanity, and
that divine lies: they shall not be
in the assembly of my people,
neither shall they be written in
the writing of the house of Israel,
neither shall they enter into the
land of Israel ; and ye shall know
that I am the Lord God.
17 Likewise, thou sou of man,
set thy face against the daughters
of thy people, which prophesy out
of their own heart ; and prophesy
thou against them,
18 And say. Thus saith the Lord
God ; Woe to the women that sew
pillows to all armholes, and make
kerchiefs upon the head of every
statiu-e to limit souls! Will ye
hunt the souls of my people, and
will ye save the souls alive that
come unto you?
19 And will ye pollute me among
my people for liandfuls of barley
and for pieces of bread, to slay the
souls that should not die, and to
save the souls alive that should
not live, by your lying to my peo-
ple that hear yom- lies?
20 \yherefore thus saith the
Lord; 'Behold, I am against yom'
pillows, wherewith ye there hunt
the souls to make them fly, and I
will tear them from your arms,
and will let the souls go, even the
souls that ye hunt to make them
tly.
21 Your kerchiefs also will I tear,
and deliver my people out of your
hand, and they shall be no more
in your hand to be hunted; and
ye shall know that I am the Lord.
Eze. 14—7 For every one of the
house of Israel, or of the stranger
that sojourneth in Israel, which
separateth himself from me, and
setteth up his idols in his heart,
and putteth the stumbling block
of his iniquity before his face, and
cometb to a prophet to inquire of
him concerning me; I the Lord
will answer him by myself :
8 And I will set my face against
that man, and will make him a
sign and a proverb, and I will cut
him off from the midst of my peo-
ple ; and ye shall know that I am
the Lord.
9 And if the prophet be deceived
when he hath spoKen a thing, I the
Lord have deceived that prophet,
and I will stretch out my hand up-
on him, and will destroy him from
the midst of my people Israel.
Eze. 33 — 30 Also, thou son of man,
the children of thy people still are
talking against thee by the walls
and in the doors of the houses,
and speak one to another, every
one to his brother, saying. Come,
I pray you, and hear what is the
word that cometh forth from the
Lord.
31 And they come unto thee as
the people cometh, and they sit
before thee as my people, and they
hear thy words, but they will not
do them: for with their mouth
they shew much love, but their
heart goeth after their covetous-
ness.
32 And, lo, thou art unto them
as a very lovely song of one that
hath a pleasant voice, and can play
well on an instrument: for they
hear thy words, but they do them
not.
33 And when this cometh to pass,
(lo, it will come,) then shall they
know that a prophet hath been
among them.
229
1 Sa. 10—20 And Saul sent mes-
sengers to take David : and when
they saw tlie company of the
lirophets prophesy ing.and Samuel
■standing as appointed over them,
the Spirit of God was upon the
messengers of Saul, and tliey also
prophesied.
^1 And when it was told Saul, he
sent other messengers, and they
prophesied likewise. And Saul
sent messengers again the third
time, and they prophesied also.
23 And he went thither: and the
Spirit of God was upon him also,
and he went on, and prophesied,
until he came to Naioth.
24 And he stripped off his clothes
also, and prophesied before Sam-
uel in like manner, and lay down
naked all that day and all that
night. Wherefore they say. Is
Saul also among the prophets?
See also l Sa. 10. 5-13.
Ho. 4—0 My people are destroyed
for lack of knowledge: because
thou hast rejected knowledge, I
will also reject thee, that thou
shalt be no priest to me: seeing
thou hast forgotten the law of
thy God, I will also forget thy
children.
9 And there shall be, like peo-
ple, like priest: and 1 will punish
them for their ways, and reward
them their doings.
Ho. 6—9 And as troops of robbers
wait for a man, so the company
of priests murder in the way
by consent: for they commit
lewdness.
Ho. 9—7 The prophet is a fool,
the spiritual man is mad, for the
multitude of thine iniquity, and
the great hatred. See also Jo. 2.
28. p. 72.
Mi. 3—5 Thus saith the Lord
concerning theprophetsthatmake
my people err, tliatbite with their
teetn, and cry, Peace ; and he that
putteth not into their mouths,
they even prepare war agamst
him :
Therefore night shall be unto
you, that ye shall not have a vi-
sion ; and it shall be dark unto
you, that ye shall not divine; and
the sun shall go down over the
prophets, and the day shall be
dark over them.
7 Thenshall the seers be ashamed,
and the diviners confounded : yea,
they shall all cover their lips; for
there is no answer of God.
11 The heads thereof judge for
reward, and the priests thereof
teach for hire, and the prophets
thereof diA^me for money: yet
will they lean upon the Lord,
and say. Is not the Lord among
us? none evil can come upon us.
Zep. 3—4 Her prophets are light
and treacherous persons: Tier
priests have polluted the sanctu-
ary, they have done violence to
the law.
Mi. 2—11 If a man walking in the
spirit and falsehood do lie. saying,
I will prophesy unto thee of wine
and of strong drink ; he shall even
be the prophet of this people.
1 Sa. 2—13 The priest's custom
with the people was, that, when
any man offered sacrilice, the
priest's servant came, while the
riesh was in seething, with a flesh-
hook of three teeth in his hand ;
14 And he struck it into the pan,
or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all
that theneshhook brought up the
priest took for himself.
Zee. 13-4 The prophet shall be
ashamed when he liath prophe-
sied: neither shall he wear a
rough garment to deceive, p. 484.
Mai. 1—10 Who is there even
among you that would shut the
doors for nought? neither do ye
kindle fire on jiiine altar for
nought. I have no pleasure in you,
saith the Lord of hosts, neither
will I accept an offering at your
hand.
Mai. 2—1 And now, O ye priests,
this commandment is for you.
2 If ye we will not hear, and if ye
will not lay it to heart, to give
glory unto my name. I will even
send a curse upon you, and 1 will
curse your blessings:, yea, I have
cursed them already, because ye
do not lay it to heart.
3 Behold, I will corrupt your
seed, and spread dung upon your
faces, even the dung of your sol-
emn feasts; and one shall take
you away with it. ^
4 And ye shall know that I have
sent this commandment unto you,
that my covenant might be with
Levi, saith the Lord of hosts.
.') My covenant was with him of
life and peace ; and I gave them
to him for the fear wherewith he
feared me.
G The law of truth was in his
mouth, and iniquity was notfound
in his lips: he walked with me in
230
peace aud equity, and did tuxn
many away from iniquity.
7 For the priest's lips should
keep knowledge, and they should
seek the law at his mouth : for he
is the messenger of the Lokd of
hosts.
8 But ye are departed out of the
way; ye have caused many to
stumble at the law; ye have cor-
mpted the covenant of Levi,
saith the Lord of hosts.
9 Therefore have I also made
you contemptible aud base before
all the people, according as ye
have not kept my ways, but have
been partial to the law.
Mai. 4—5 Behold, I will send you
Elijah the prophet before the com-
ing of the great aud dreadful day
of the Lord. p. 487.
Mat. 7—1.5 Beware of false proph-
ets, which come to you in sheep's
clothing, but inwardly they are
ravening wolves, p. 288.
Mat. 10 — 11 He that receiveth a
prophet in the name of a prophet
shall receive a prophet's reward;
and he that receiveth a righteous
man in the name of a righteous
man shall receive a righteous
man's reward.
Mat. 13—54 And when Jesus was
come into his own country, he
taught them in their synagogue,
insomuch that they were aston-
ished, and said. Whence hath
this man this wisdom, and these
mighty works?
55 Is not this the carpenter's
son? is not his mother called
Mary? and his brethren, James,
aud .loses, and Simon, and Judas?
56 And his sisters, are they not
all with us? Whence then hath
this man all these things?
57 And they were offended in
liim. But Jesus said unto them,
A prophet is not without honour,
save in his own coimtry, and in
his own house. Mar. 6. 4.
Mat. 24—11 And many false
prophets shall rise, and shall de-
ceive many. p. 487.
Lu. 11 — 47 Woe unto you! for ye
build the sepulchres of the proph-
ets, and your fathers killed them.
48 Truly ye bear witness that ye
allow the deeds of your fathers:
for they indeed killed them, and
ye build their sepulchres.
49 Therefore also said the wis-
dom of God, I will send them
prophets and apostles, and some
of them they shall slay and
persecute :
50 That the blood of all the
prophets, which was shed from
the foundation of the world, may
be required of this generation ;
51 From the blood of Abel unto
the blood of Zacharias, which per-
ished between the altar and the
temple : verily I say unto yoii. It
shall be required of this genera-
tion. Ge. 4. 8; 2 Chr. 24. 20, 21, 22.
Lu. 13 — 33 And Jesus said, it can-
not be that a prophet perish out of
Jerusalem.
34 O Jerusalem. Jerusalem,
which killest the prophets, and
stonest them that are sent unto
thee; how often would 1 have
gathered thy children together,
as a hen doth gather her brood iin-
der her wings, and ye would not !
Lu. 16—16 The law and the
prophets were until John: since
that time the kingdom of God is
preached, and every man press-
etli into it.
31 And he said unto him. If they
hear not Moses, and the prophets,
neither will they be persuaded,
though one rose from the dead.
Lu. 24—25 Jesus said unto them,
O fools, and slow of heart to be-
lieve all that the prophets have
spoken, p. 523.
Jno. 7—52 They answered and
said unto him. Art thou also of
Galilee? Search, and look: for
out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
1 Th. 5—20 Despise not prophe-
syings. Prove all things; hold
fast that which is good.
2 Pe. 1—20 No prophecy of the
Scripture is of any private inter-
pretation.
21 For the prophecy came not
in old time by the will of man:
but holy men of God spake as
they were moved by the Holy
Ghost. See also Propliecy pre-
ferred to the Gift of Tongues, 1
Co. 14, p. 282.
PASTORS. Ministers, Preachers.
See also Pastors and Pastures,
p. 272.
Je. 2—8 The priests said not,
WTiere is the Lord? and they
that handle the law knew me
not: the pastors also trausgi-essed
against me, and the prophets
prophesied by Baal, and walked
after things that do not profit.
231
Je. 3—15 And I will give you
pastors according to iniue heart,
which shall feed you with kuowl-
edge and understanding.
tie. 10—21 For the pastors are be-
come brutish, and have not sought
the Lord: therefore they shall
not prosper, and all their tJocks
shall be scattered.
Ep. 4—11 And he gave some,
apostles; and some, prophets; and
some, evangelists; and some, pas-
tors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the
saints, for the work of the minis-
try, for the edifying of the body
of Christ.
Ps. IW — 1 Who maketh his an-
gels spirits ; his ministers a flam-
ing tire.
Is. 61— C Ye shall be named the
Priests of the Lord: men shall
call you the Ministers of our God:
ye shall eat the riches of the Gen-
tiles, and in tlieir glory shall ye
boast yourselves, p. 473.
Mat. 20—26 Whosoever will be
great among you, let him be your
minister;
27 And whosoever will be chief
among you, let him be your serv-
ant:
28 Even as the Son of man came
not to be ministered unto, but to
mini.ster, and to give bis life a
ransom for many. p. 401.
1 Co. 4—1 Let a man so accomit
of us, as of the ministers of Christ,
and stewards of the mysteries of
God.
2 Moreover it is remiired in
stewards, that a man be found
faithful.
2 Co. 3—6 Who also hath made
us able ministers of the new tes-
tament; not of the letter, biit of
the spirit: for the letter killeth,
but the spirit giveth life.
2 Co. 4—1 Therefore, seeing we
have this ministry, as we have re-
ceived mercy, we faint not ;
2 But have renounced the hid-
den things of dishonesty, not walk-
ing in craftiness, nor handlmg the
word of God deceitfully ; but, by
manifestation of the truth, com-
mending ourselves to every man's
conscience in the sight of God.
3 But if our gospel be hid, it is
hid to them that are lost:
4 In whom the god of this world
hath blinded the minds of them
which believe not, lest the li^ht
of the glorious gospel of Christ,
who is the image of God, should
shine unto them.
5 For we preach not ourselves,
but Christ Jesus the Lord; and
ourselves your servants for Jesus'
sake.
2 Co. 6—3 Giving no offence in
any thing, that the ministry be
not blamed:
4 Biit in all things approving
ourselves as the ministers of God.
Col. 1 — 2.5 I am made a minister,
according to the dispensation oi
God which is given to me for you,
to fultil the word of God.
Ro. 10—14 How then shall they
call on him in whom they have
not believed? and how shall they
believe in him of whom they have
not heard? and how shall they
hear without a preacher?
15 And how snail they preach,
except they be sent? as it is writ-
ten. How beautiful are the feet
of them that preach the gospel of
peace, and bring glad tidings of
good things! Is. 52. 7, p. 472.
1 Co. 2 — 4 My speech and preach-
ing was not with enticing words
of man's wisdom, but in demon-
stration of the Spirit and of power.
1 Ti. 2—7 W^hereunto I am or-
dained a preacher, and an apostle,
(I speak the tmth in Christ, and
lie not.) a teacher of the Gentiles
in faith and verity.
2 Ti. 4—2 Preach the word; be
instant in f3ea.son, out of season-
reprove, rebuke, exhort with all
longsuffering and doctrine. Ec. 1.

The Gospel to be preached in all
the world. See also Mat. 28. 18-20
and Mar. 16. 15-18, p. 521 ; Mar. 14.
9, p. 508.
Mat. 24—14 And thisgospel of the
kingdom shall he preached in all
the world for a witness unto all
nations; and then shall the end
come. p. 487.
Lu. 24—47 And that repentance
and remission of sins should be
preached m his name among all
nations, beginning at Jerusalem,
p. .523.
Ro. 1—15 So, as much as in me is,
I am ready to preach the gospel to
yon that are at Rome also.
16 For I am not ashamed of the
gospel of Christ: for it is the pow-
er of God unto salvation to every
one that believeth; to the Jew
first, and also to the Greek.
232
Ro. 15—19 From Jerusalem, and
round about.I have fully preached
the gospel of Christ.
20 Yea, so have I strived to
preach the gospel.not where Christ
was named, lest I should build
upon another man's foundation.
1 Co. 1—17 For Christ sent me
not to baptize, but to preach the
gospel: not with wisdom of words,
lest the cross of Christ should be
made of none effect.
18 For the preaching of the cross
is to them that perish, foolishness ;
but imto us which are saved, it is
the power of God.
1. Co. 9—13 Do ye not know that
they which minister about holy
things live of the things of the
temple? and they which wait at
the altar are partakers with the
altar? . , , .
U Even so hath the Lord ordain-
ed that they which preach the
gospel should live of the gospel.
15 But I have used none of these
things: neither have I written
these things, that it should be so
done unto me : for it were better
for me to die, than that any man
should make my glorying void.
16 For though 1 preach the gos-
pel, I have nothing to glory of:
for necessity is laid upon me ; yea,
woe is unto me, if I preach not
the gospel!
17 For if I do this thing willingly,
I have a reward : but if against my
will, a dispensation of the gospel
is committed unto me.
18 What is my reward then?
Verily that, when I preach the
gosi)el, 1 may make the gospel of
Christ without charge, that I abuse
not my power in the gospel.
22T0 the weak became! asweak,
that 1 might gain the weak: I am
made all things to all men, that I
might by all means save some.
2 Co. 4—3 But if our gospel be hid,
it is hid to them that are lost.
Gal. 1—8 But though we, or an
angel from heaven, preach any
other gospel unto you than that
which we have preached unto
you, let him be accursed.
9 As we said before, so say I now
again. If any man preach any
other gosijel imto you than that ye
have received, let him be accursed.
Re. 14— 6 And I sawanother angel
fly in the midst of heaven, having
the everlasting gospel to preach
unto them that dwell on the earth.

Mat. 6—5 When thou prayest,
thou shalt not be as the hypo-
crites : for they love to pray stand-
ing in the synagogues and m the
corners of the streets, that they
may be seen of men. Verily I say
unto you, They have their rewai-d.
6 But thou, when thou prayest,
enter into thy closet, and when
thou hast shut thy door, pray to
thy Father which is in secret ; and
thy Father which seeth in secret
shall reward thee openly. -
7 But when ye pray, use not
vain repetitions, as the heathen
do: for they think that they shall
be heard for their much speaking.
8 Be not ye therefore like unto
them: for your Father knoweth
what things ye have need of, be-
fore ye ask him.
9 After this manner therefore
gray ye : Our Father which art in
eaven. Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will
be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily
bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as
we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into tempta-
tion, but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the
power, and the glory, for ever.
Amen. p. 94.
Lu. 11—1 And as he was praying
in a certain place, when he ceased,
one of his disciples said unto him.
Lord, teach us to pray, as John
also taught his disciples.
2 And he said unto them. When
ye pray, say. Our Father which art
in heaven. Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be
done, as m heaven, so in earth.
3 Give us day by day our daily
bread.
4 And forgive us our sins; for
we also forgive every one that is
mdebted to us. And lead us not
into temptation; but deliver us
from evil.

Lu. 18—10 Two men went up in-
to the temple to pray ; the one a
Pharisee, and the other a publi-
can.
11 The Pharisee stood and pray-
ed thus with himself, God, I thank
thee, that 1 am not as other men
are, extortioners, unjust, adulter-
ers, or even as this publican.
12 I £a.st twice in the week, I
give tithes of all that I possess.
13 And the publican, standing'
afar off, would not lift up so much
as his eyes unto heaven, but smote
upon his breast, saying, God be
merciful to me a sinner.
14 1 tell you, this man went down
to his house justified rather than
the other: for every one that ex-
alteth himself shall be abased:
and he that humbleth himself
shall be exalted.
Pro. 30—1 The words of Agur the
son of Jakeh, even the prophecy:
the man .spake unto Ithiel, even
unto Ithiel and Ucal,
2 Surely I am more bmtish than
any man, and have not the under-
standing of a man.
3 I neither learned wisdom, nor
have the knowledge of the holy.
7 Two things have I required of
thee; deny me them not oefore I
die:
8 Remove far from me vanity
and lies; give me neither poverty
nor riches; feed me with food
convenient for me :
9 Lest I be full, and deny thee,
and say. Who is the Lord? or lest
1 be poor, and steal, and take the
name of my God in vain.
Hab. 3—1 A prayer of Habakkuk
the prophet.
2 O Lord, I have heard thy
speech, and was afraid : O Lord,
revive thy work in the midst of
the years,in the midst of the years
make known; in wrath remember
mercy.
Mar. 11—24 Therefore I say unto
you. What thmgs soever ye desire,
when ye pray, believe that ye re-
ceive them, and ye shall have
them.
•25 And when ye stand praying,
forgive, if ye have aught against
any ; that your Father also which
is in heaven may forgive you your
trespasses.
26 But if ye do not forgive,
neither will your Father which
is in heaven forgive your tres-
passes.
Lu. 6—12 And it came to pass Ln
those days, that Jesus went out
into a mountain to pray, and con-
tinued all night in prayer to
God.
Lu. 22—46 Jesus said unto them,
Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest
ye enter into temptation, p. 513.
Ps. 55—17 Evening, and morning,
and at noon, will 1 pray, and cry
aloud: and he shall hear my
voice.
1 Ti.2— 1 1 exhorttherefore,that,
first of all, supplications, pray-
ers, intercessions, and giving of
thanks, be made for all men;
2 For kings, and for all that are
in authority ; that we may lead a
quiet and peaceable life in all
godliness and honesty.
3 For this is good and acceptable
in the sight of God our Saviour;
4 Who will have all men to
be saved, afid to come unto the
knowledge of the truth.
8 I will therefore that men pray
every where, lifting up holy hands,
without wrath and doubting.
Is. 1—15 i\iid when ye spread
forth your hands, I will hide mine
eyes from you ; yea, when ye make
many prayers, I will not hear:
your hands are full of blood,
p. 34.
2 Ti. 1—3 1 thank God, with pure
conscience, that without ceasing I
have remembrance of thee in my
prayers night and day.
Ja. 5—13 Is any among you af-
flicted? let him pray. Is any mer-
ry? let him sing psalms.
14 Is any sick among you? let
him call for the elders of the
church; and let them pray over
him. anointing him with oil in
the name of the Lord :
15 And the prayer of faith shall
save the sick, and the Lord shall
raise him up; and if he have com-
mitted sins, they shall be forgiven
him.
16 Confess your faults one to an-
other, and pray one for another,
that ye may be healed. The ef-
fectual fervent prayer of a right-
eous man availeth much.
1 Th. 5—17 Pray without ceasmg.
2 Th. 3—1 Finally, brethren, pray
for us, that the word of the Lord
may have free course, and be glo-
rified, even as it is with you:
2 And that we may be deliver-
ed from unreasonable and wicked
men: for all men have not faith.

De. 7—6 Thou art a holy people
unto the Lokd thy God : the Lokd
thy God hath chosen thee to be a
special people unto himself, above
all people that are upon the face
of the earth.
7 The Lokd did not set his love
upon you, nor choose you, be-
cause ye were more in number
than any people ; for ye were the
fewest of all people :
8 But becaiise the Lord loved
you, and because he would keep
the oath which he had sworn un-
to your fathers, hath the Lord
redeemed you out of the house of
bondmen, from the hand of Pha-
raoh king of Egypt.
De. 14—2 Thou art a holy peo-
ple, and the Lord hath chosen
thee to be a peculiar people unto

that are upon the earth, p. 304.
De. 23—14 For the Lord thy God
walketh in the midst of thy camp,
to deliver thee, and to give up
thine enemies before thee ; there-
fore shall thy camp be holy: that
he see no unclean thing in thee,
and turn away from thee.
De. 26-18 And the Lord hath
avouched thee this day to be his
peculiar people, as he hath prom-
ised thee, and that thou should-
est keep all his commandments;
19 And to make thee high above
all nations which he hath made,
in praise, name, and in honour.
JJe. 32—9 For the Lord's portion
is his people ; Jacob is the lot of
his inheritance.
10 He found him in a desert
land, and in the waste howling
wilderness; he led him about, he
instructed him, he kept him as
the apple of his eye.
Ex. 32—9 The Lord said unto
Moses, I have seen this people,
aTid, it is a stiffnecked people:
10 Now therefore let me alone,
that my wrath may wax hot
against them, and that I may
consume them: and I will make
of thee a great nation, p. 47.
11 And Moses said. Lord, why
doth thy wrath wax hot against
thy people, which thou hast
brought forth out of the land of
Egypt with great power, and
with a mighty hand?
12 Wherefore should the Egyp-
tians speak, and say. For mischief
did he bring them out. to slay
them in the mountains, and to .
consume them from the face of
the earth? Turn from thy fierce
wrath, and repent of this evil
against thy people.
14 And the Lord repented of
the evil which he thought to do
unto his people. Continued on p.
47. See also Nu. 14, p. 328.
Is. 3—12 As for my people, chil-
dren are their oppressors, and wo-
men rule over them. They which
lead thee cause thee to err, and
destroy the way of thy paths.
14 The Lord will enter into
judgment with the ancients of.
his people, and the princes: for
ye have eaten up the vineyard;
the spoil of the poor is in your
houses.
15 What mean ye that ye beat
my people to pieces, and grind
the faces of the poor? saith the
Lord.
Is. 9—2 The people that walked
in darkness nave seen a great
light: they that dwell in the land
of the shadow of death, upon
them hath the light shined.
16 For the leaders of this people
cause them to err ; and they that
are led of them are destroyed.
Is. 29—13 Wherefore the Lord
said. Forasmuch as this people
draw near me with their mouth,
and with their lips do honour
me, but have removed their
heart far from me, and their fear
toward me is taught by the pre-
cept of men:
14 Therefore, I will do a work
among this people, even a marvel-
lous work and a Wonder: for the
wisdom of their wise men shall
perish, and the understanding of
their prudent men shall be hid.
Is. 30—9 That this is a rebellious
people, lying children, that will
not hear the law of the Lord.
Is. 60—21 Thy people also shall

heaven knoweth her appointed
times; and the turtle and the
crane and the swallow observe
the time of their coming; but my
people know not the judgment of
the Lord.
Ho. 2—23 And I will say to them
which were not my people. Thou
art my people ; and they shall say.
Thou art my God.
1 Pe. 2—9 But ye are a chosen
generation, a royal priesthood, a
holy nation, a peculiar people;
that ye should shew forth the
praises of him who hath called
you out of darkness iuto his mar-
vellous light :
10 Which in time past were not
a people, but are now the people
of God : which had not obtained
mercy, but now have obtained
mercy.

8 Be ye also patient; stablish
your hearts: for the coming of

in a parable: I will utter dark
sayings of old.
Mat. 13—10 The disciples came,
and said unto Jesus, Why speak-
est thou unto them in parables?
11 He answered. Because it is
given unto you to know the mys-
teries of the kingdom of heaven,
but to them it is not given.
12 For whosoever hath, to him
shall be given, and he shall have
more abundance: but whosoever
hath not, from him shall be taken
away even that he hath.
13 Therefore speak I to them in
parables: because they seeing see
not; and hearing they hear not,
neither do they understand.

shall be removed : then- silver and
their gold shall not be able to
deliver them in the day of the
wrath of the Lord : they shall not
satisfy their souls, neither fill
their bowels: because it is the
stumbltngblock of their ini-
quity.
Mat. 10—9 Provide neither gold,
nor silver, nor brass in your purses,
p. 458.
Ac. 3—6 Then Peter said. Silver
and gold have I none ; but such as
1 have give I thee. p. 524.
Ac. 8—20 But Peter said unto
him, Thy money perish with thee,
because thou hast thought that
the gift of God may be purchased
with money, p. 322.
Ac. 20—33 I have coveted no
man's silver, or gold, or apparel.
34 Yea, ye yourselves know, that
these hands have ministered unto
my necessities, and to them that
were with me.
1 Ti. 6—9 But they that will be
rich fall into temptation and a
snare, and into many foolish and
hurtful lusts, which drown men
in destruction and perdition.
10 For the love of money is the
root of all evil : which while some
coveted after, they have erred
from the faith, and pierced them-
selves through witli many sor-
rows.
17 Charge them that are rich in
this world, that they be not high-
minded, nor trust in uncertain
riches, but in the living God, who
giveth us richly all thmgs to en-
joy ;
18 That they do good, that they
be rich in good works, ready to
distribute, willing to [communi-
cate;
19 Laying up in store for them-
selves a good foundation against
the time to come, that they may
lay hold on eternal life.
Re. 3—17 Because thou sayest, I
am rich, and increased with goods.
and have need of nothing; and
knowest not that thou art wretch-
ed, and miserable, and poor, and
blind, and naked:
18 I counsel thee to buy of me
gold tried in the fire, that thou
mayest be rich. Re. 2. 9, p. CI.
Lending money for usury. See
also Lend and Borrow p. 181 ; Je.
15. 10, p. 196.
Ex. 22—25 If thou lend money to
any of my; people that is poor by
thee, thou shalt not be to him as
a usurer, neither shalt thou lay
upon him usury.
Le. 25— 35 IT And if thy brother be
waxen poor, and fallen in decay
with thee ; then thou shalt relieve
him : yea, though he be a stranger,
or a sojourner; that he may live
with thee.
36 Take thou no usury of him,
or increase : but fear thy God ; that
thy brother may live with thee.
37 Thou shalt not give him thy
money upon usury, nor lend him
thy victuals for increase.
De. 23—19 IT Thou shalt not lend
upon usury to thy brother ; usury
of money, usury of victuals, usury
of any thing that is lent upon
usury.
20 Unto a stranger thou mayest
lend upon usury; but unto thy
brother thou shalt not lend upon
usury.
Ne. 5—1 And there was a great
cry of the people and of their
wives against their brethren the
Jews.
2 For there were that said, We,
our sons, and our daughters, are
many: therefore we taxe up corn
for them, that we may eat, and
live.
3 Some also there were that said.
We have mortgaged our lands,
vineyards, and houses, that we
might buy com, because of the
dearth.
4 There were also that said. We
have borrowed money for the
king's tribute, and that upon our
lands and vineyards.
6 Yet now our flesh is as the flesh
of our bretlu-en, our children as
their children: and, lo, we bring
into bondage our sons and our
daughters to be servants.and some
of our daughters are brought into
laondage already : neither is it in
our power to redeem them; for
other men have our lands and
vineyards.
6 If And I was very angry when
1 heard their cry and these words.
7 Then I consulted with myself,
and I rebuked the nobles, and the
rulers, and said unto them. Ye
exact usury, every one of his
245
B
brother. And I set a great assem-
bly against them.
8 And I said imtothem.We.after
our ability, have redeemed our
brethren the Jevvs.whichwere sold
unto the heathen ; andwill ye even
sell your brethren? or shall they
be sold unto us? Then held they
their peace, and found nothing to
answer.
9 Also I said. It is not good that
ye do: ought ye not to walk in
the fear of our God because of the
reproach of the heathen our ene-
mies?
10 I likewise, and my brethren,
and my servants, might exact of
them money and corn: I pray you,
let us leave off this usury.
11 Restore, I pray you, to them,
even this day, their lands, their
vineyards, their oliveyards, and
their houses, also the hundredth
part of the money, and of the corn,
the wine, and the oil, that ye ex-
act of them.
12 Then said they. We will re-
store them, and will require noth-
ing of them ; so will we do as thou
sayest. Then I called the priests,
and took an oath of them, that
they should do according to this
promise.
13 Also I shook my lap, and said,
So God shake out every man from
bis house, and from his labom-,
that performeth not this promise,
even thus be he shaken out, and
emptied. And all the congrega-
tion said. Amen, and praised the
LoKD. And the people did ac-
cording to this promise.
Ps. 15—5 He that putteth not out
his money to usury, nor taketli re-
ward against the innocent. He
that doeth these things shall nev-
er be moved.
Pro. 28—8 He that by usury and
unjust gain increaseth his sub-
stance, he shall gather it for him
that will pity the poor.
Eze. 22—12 Thou hast taken
usury and increase, and thou hast
greedily gained of thy neighbours
y extortion, and hast forgotten
me, saith the Lord God.

Ps. 34—19 Many are the afflic-
tions of the righteous: but the
Lord delivereth him out of them

29 The rigliteous shall uiherit

Ps. 58—1 Do ye indeed speak
righteousness, O congregation?
do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons
of men?
2 Yea, in heart ye work wicked-
ness; ye weigh the violence of
yoiu- hands in the earth.
10 The righteous shall rejoice
when he seeththe vengeance: he
shall wash his feet in the blood of
the wicked.
11 So that a man shall say, Veri-
ly there is a reward for the right-
eous: verily he is a God that
judgeth in the earth.
Ps. 85—10 Mercy and truth are

Pro. 10—16 The labour of the
righteous tendeth to life: the
fruit of the wicked to sin.

seduceth them. In the way uf
righteousness is life; and in the
pathway thereof there is no

away in his wickedness: but the
righteous hath hope in his death.
34 Righteousness exalteth a na-
tion: but sin is a reproach to any
people.
Pro. 16—8 Better is a little with
righteousness, than great reve-
nues withoiit right.

righteous to go astray in an evil
way shall fall himself into his

ple in whose heart is my law ; fear

ther be afi-aid of their revilings.
Is. 57—1 The righteous perish-
eth, and no man layeth it to heart :

away, none considering that the
righteous is taken away from the

2 He shall enter into peace: they
shall rest in their beefs, each oue

earth :
26 And though after my skin
worms destroy this body, yet in
my flesh shall I see God :
27 Whom I shall see for myself,
and mine eyes shall behold, and
not another; though my reins be
consumed within me. p. 385.
Is. 26—19 Thy dead men shall
live, together with my dead body
shall they arise. Awake and sing,
ye that dwell in dust : for thy dew^
is as the dew of herbs, and the
earth shall cast out the dead.
pa. 12—1 And at that time shall
Michael stand up, the great prince
which standeth for the children
of thy people : and there .shall be a
time of trouble, such as never was
since there was a nation even to
that same time: and at that time
thy people shall be delivered, ev-
ery one that shall be found writ-
ten in the book.
2 And many of them that sleep
in the dust of the earth shall
awake, some to everlasting life,
and some to shame and everlast-
ing contempt.
3 And they that be wise shall
shine as the brightness of the
firmament; and they that turn
many to righteousness, as the
stars for ever and ever.
4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up
the words, and seal the book, even
to the time of the end : many shall
run to and fro, and knowledge
shall be increased.
13 But go thou thy way till the
end be: for thou shalt rest, and
stand in thy lot at the end of the
days.
Lu. 20—34 And Jesus answermg

248
the dead, neither man-y, nor are

fels ; and are the children of God,

rection. Mat. 22, p. 207.

The Son of man shall be betrayed

son-y.

Cometh to me I will in no wise
cast out.
38 For I came down from heaven,
not to do mine own will, but the
will of him that sent me.
39 And this is the Father's will
-which hath sent me, that of all
which he hath given me I .should
lose nothing, but should raise it
up again at the last day.
40 And this is the will of him
that sent me,that every one which
seeth the Son, and believeth on
him, may have everlasting life:
and I will raise him up at the last
day. p. 507.

resurrection, and the life: he that
believeth in me, though he were
dead, yet shall he live. p. 457.
Ro. 6—3 Know ye not, that so
many of us as were baptized
into Jesus Christ were baptized
into his death?
4 Therefore we are buried with
him by baptism into death : that
like as Christ was raised up from
the dead by the glory of the Fa-
ther, even so we also should walk
in newness of life.
5 For if we have been planted
together in the likeness of his
death, we shall be also in the like-
ness of his resurrection.
1 Co. 15—51 Behold, I shew you a
mystery; We shall not all sleep,
but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling
of an eye, at the last trump: for
the trumpet shall sound, and the
dead shall be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed.
63 For this con-uptible must put
on incorruption, and this mortal
must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall
have put on incorruption, and this
mortal shall have put on immor-
tality, then shall be brought to
pass the saying that is written,
Death is swallowed up in victory.
The resuiTCCtion of the dead de-
nied and doubted.
Ac 17—32 And when they heard
of the resurrection of the dead,
some mocked: and others said.
We will hear thee again of this
matter.
33 So Paul departed from among
them. p. 109.
Ac. 23—8 For the Sadducees say
that there is no resurrection,
neither angel, nor spirit: but the
Pharisees confess both.
1 Co. 15—12 Now if Christ be
preached that he rose from the
dead, how say some among you
that there is no resuiTection of
the dead?
13 But if there be no resurrec-
tion of the dead, then is Christ
not risen :
14 And if Christ be not risen,
then is our preaching vain.

Ja. 5—17 Elias was a man subject
to like passions as we are, and he
prayed earnestly that it mig^htnot
rain: and it rained not on the
earth by the space of three years
and six months.
18 And he praj;ed again, and the
heaven gave rain, and the earth
brought forth her fruit.
1 Ki. 17—1 And Elijah the Tish-
bite, whowas of the inhabitants
of Gilead, said luito Ahab, As
the Lord God of Israel liveth,
before whom I stand, there shall
not be dew nor rain these years,
but according to my word.
2 And the word of the Lord
came unto him, saying,
3 Get thee hence, and turn thee
eastward, and hide thyself by the
brook Cherith, that is before Jor-
dan.
4 And it shall be, that thou shalt
drink of the brook; and I have
commanded the ravens to feed
thee there.
5 So he went and did according
unto the word of the Lord: for
he went and dwelt by the brook
Cherith, that is before Jordan.
6 And the ravens brought him
bread and tlesh in the morning,
and bread and flesh in the even-
ing; and he drank of the brook.
7 And it came to pass after a
while, that the brook dried up, be-
cause there had been no ram in
the laud. Continued on p. 83.
1 Ki. 18—1 And the word of the
Lord came to Elijah in the third
year, saying. Go, shew thyself un-
to Ahab ; and I will send rain up-
on the earth.
41 And Elijah said unto Ahab,
Get thee up, eat and drink ; for
there is a sound of abundance of
rain.
42 So Ahab went up to eat and
to drink. And Elijah went up to
the top of Carmel ; and he cast
himself down upon the earth, and
put his face between his knees,
43 And said to his servant, Go up
now, look toward the sea. And
lie went up, and looked, and said,
There is nothing. And he said,
(to again seven times.
44 And it came to pass at the
seventhtime,tbathe said. Behold,
there ariseth a little cloud out of
the sea, like a man's hand. And
lie said. Go up, say unto Ahab,
Prepare thy chariot, and get thee
down, that the rain stop thee not.
45 And it came to paSs in the
mean while, that the heaven was
black with clouds and wind, and
there was a great rain. And
Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel.
46 And the hand of the Lord
was on Elijah; and he girded up
his loins, and ran before Ahab to
the entrance of Jezreel.
Job 29—23 And they waited for
me as for the rain; and they
opened their mouth wide as for

bread to the eater.
Je 10—13 When he uttereth his
voice, there is a multitude of wa-
ters in the heavens, and he causeth
the vapours to ascend from the
ends of the earth; he maketh
lightnings with rain, and bring-
eth forth the wind out of his treas-
ures.
Am. 4—7 And also I have with-
holden the rain from you, when

piece whereupon it rained not

2 Sa. 22—2 And David said, The
Lord is my rock, and my fortress,
and my deliverer;
3 Tlae God of my rock ; in him
Willi trust: he is my shield, and
the horn of my salvation, my high
tower, and my refuge,my saviour ;
thou savest me from violence.
32 For who is God, save the
Lord? and who is a rock, save
our God?
47 The Lord liveth ; and hlessed
be my rock; and exalted be the
God of the rock of my salvation.
Ps. 18—2 The Lord is mv rock,
and my fortress, and my deliver-
er ; my God,my strength, in wlaom
1 will ti-ust ; my buckler, and the
horn of my salvation, and my
high tower.
Ps. 40—2 He brought me up also
out of a horrible pit, out of the
miry clay, and set my feet upon a
rock, and established my goings.
Ps. 61—2 From the end of the
earth will I cry unto thee, when
myheart is overwhelmed : lead me
to the rock that is higher than I.
Nu. 17—1 And the Lord spake
unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak iinto the children of Is-
rael, and take of every one of them
a rod according to the house of
their fathers, of all their princes
according to the house ot their
fathers, twelve rods: write thou
every man's name upon his rod.
3 And thou shalt write Aaron's
name upon the rod of Levi: for
one rod shall be for the head of
the house of their fathers.
4 And thoi\ shalt lay them up in
the tabernacle of the congrega-
tion before the testimony, where
I will meet with you.
5 And it shall come to pa.ss, that
the man's rod, whom I shall
choose, shall blossom : and I will
make to cease from me the mur-
murings of the children of Israel,
whereby they murmur against
you.
6 V And Moses spake unto the
children of Israel, and every one
of their princes §rave him a rod
apiece, for each prmce one, accord-
ing to their fathers' houses, even
twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron
was among their rods.
7 And Moses laid up the rods be-
fore the Lord in the tabernacle
of witness.
8 And it came to pass, that on
the morrow Moses went into the
tabernacle of witness ; and,behold,
the rod of Aaron for the house
of Levi was budded, and brought
forth buds,and bloomed blossoms,
and yielded almonds.
9 And Moses brought out all the
rods from before the Lord unto
all the children of Israel : and they
took eveiT man his rod.
10 And the Lord said unto Moses,
Brmg Aaron's rod again before
the testimony, to be kept for a
token against the rebels ; and
thou Shalt quite take away their
murmuriugs from me, that they
die not.
11 And Moses did so: as the
Lord commanded him, so did he.
Job 9—34 Let him take his rod
away from me, and let not his fear
terrify me.
Eze. 20—37 And I will cause you

bring you into the bond of the
covenant.

strong, p. 195.
Is. 40—31 But they that wait
upon the Lord shall renew their
strength; they shall mount up
with wings as eagles; they shall
run, and not be weary; and they
shall walk, and not faint.
Je. 12—5 If thou hast run with
the footmen, and they have
wearied thee, then how canst thou
contend with horses?
Hab. 2—2 And the Lord an-
swered me, and said. Write the
vision, and make it plain upon
tables, that he may run that read-
eth it.
1 Co. 9—24 Know ye not that thev
which niu in a race run all. but
one receiveth the prize? So rim,
that ye may obtain.
26 I therefore so run, not as un-
certainly; so fight I, not as one
that beateth the am
Gal. 5— 7 Ye did run well; who
did hinder you that ye should not
obey the tnath?
He. 12—1 Wherefore, seeing we

great a cloud of witnesses, let us

which doth so easily beset us, and
let us run with patience the race
that is set before us.

done that which is lawful and
right, and hath kept all my stat-
utes, and hath done them, he shall
surely live. , . , ,,
20 The soul that smneth, it shall
die. The son shall not bear the

give an offering unto the Lord,

atonement money of the children

Lord departed from Saul, and an
evil spirit from the Lord troubled

21 And David came to Saul, and
stood before him: and he loved

armourbearer.

trembling, which made all my
bones to shake.
15 Then a spirit passed before
my face; the hair of my flesh
stood up:
16 It stood still, but I could not

saying,

Ac. 16—16 And it came to pass, as
we went to prayer, a certain dam-
sel possessed with a spirit of divi-
nation met us, which orought her
masters much gain by soothsay-
ing:
17 The same followed Paul and
us, and cried, saying. These men
are the servants of the most high
God, which shew unto us the way
of salvation.
18 And this she did many days.
But Paul, being grieved, turned
and said to the spirit, I command
thee in the name of Jesus Christ
to come out of her. And he came
out the same hour.
Ac. 10—13^ Then certain of the
vagabond Jews, exorcists, took up-
on them to call over them which
had evil spirits the name of the
Lord Jesus, saying, we adjure you
by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.
14 And there were seven sons of
one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the
priests, which did so.
15 And the evil spirit answered
and said, Jesus I know, and Paul
1 know : but who are ye?
16 And the man in whom the evil
spirit was leaped on them,, and
overcame them, and prevailed
against them, so that they ried out
of that house naked and wounded.
Ro. 8—1 There is therefore now
110 condemnation to them which
are in Christ Jesus, who walk not
after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2 For tlie law of the Spirit of
life in Christ Jesus hath made
me free from the law of sin and
death.
3 For what the law could not do,
in that it was weak through the
flesh, God sending his own Son in
the likeness of suiful flesh, and for
sin, condemned sin in the flesh :
4 That the righteousness of the
law might be fultilled in us, who
walk not after the flesh, but after
the Spirit.
5 For they that are after the
flesh do mind the things of the
flesh ; but they that are after the
Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
6 For to be carnally minded is
death ; but to be spiritually mind-
ed is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind is
enmity against God : for it is not
subject to the law of God, neither
indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the
flesh cannot please God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but
in the Spirit, if so be that the
Spirit of God dwell in you. Now
if any man have not the Spu'it of
Clirist, hens none of his.
10 And if Christ be in you, the
body is dead because of sin ; but
the Spii'it is life because of right-
eousness.
11 But if the Spirit of him that
raised up Jesus from the dead
dwell in you, he that raised up
Christ from the dead shall also
cxuicken your mortal bodies by
his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
12 Therefore, brethren, we are
debtors, not to the flesh, to live
^fter the flesh.
13 For if ye live after the flesh,
ye shall die : but if ye through the
Spirit do mortify the deeds of the
body, ye shall live.
14 For as many as are led by
the Spirit of God, they are the
sous of God.
15 For ye have not received the
spirit of bondage again to fear;
but ye have received the Spirit
of adoption, whereby we cry, Ab-
ba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself beareth wit-
ness with our spu'it, that we are
the children of (4od:
17 And if children, then heirs;
heirs of God, and joint heirs with
Christ; if so be that we suffer
with him, that we may be also
glorified together.
26 Likewise the Spirit also help-
eth our infirmities: for we know
256
s
not what we should pray for as we
ought : but the Spirit itself mak-
eth intercession for us with groan-
ings which canuot be uttered.
27 And he that searcheth the
hearts knoweth what is the mind
of the Spirit, because he maketh
intercession for the saints accord-
ing to the will of God.

1 Co. 10—1 Moreover, brethren, I
would not that ye should be ig-
norant, how that all our fathers
were under the cloud, and all
passed through the sea ;
2 And were all baptized unto
Moses in the cloud and in the
sea; '
3 And did all eat the same spir-
itual meat ;
4 And did all drmk the same
spiritual drink ; for they drank of
that spiritual Rock that followed
them : and that Rock was Christ.

spirit, and I will pray with the
understanding also: I will siug
with the spirit, and^I will smg

body, it is raised a spiritual body.
There is a natural body, and there

be alike good.

shut up the kingdom of heaven

Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye de-
vour widows' houses, and for a
pretense make long prayer: there-
fore ye shall receive the greater
damnation.

23 Woe unto you, scribes and
Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay
tithe of mint and anise and cum-
min,and have omitted the weight-
ier matters of the law, judgment,

to have done, and not to leave the
other undone.

25 Woe unto you, scribes and
Pharisees,hypocrites! for ye make
clean the outside of the cup and
of the platter, but within they are
full of extortion and excess.
26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse
first tliat which is within the cup
and platter, that the outside of
them may be clean also.
27 Woe unto you, scribes and
Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are
like unto whited sepulchres,which
indeed appear beautiful outward,
but are within full of dead men's
bones, and of all uncleanness.
28 Even so ye also outwardly
ajjpear righteous unto men, but
within ye are full of hypocrisy
and iniquity.
29 Woe unto you, scribes and
Pharisees, hypocrites ! because ye
build the tombs of the prophets,
and ganiish the sepulchres of the
righteous,
30 And say. If we had been m
the days of our fathers, we would
not have been partakers with
them in the blood of the prophets.
31 Wherefore ye be witnesses
unto yourselves, that ye are the
children of them which killed the
prophets.
32 Fill ye up then the measure
of your fathers.
33 Ye serpents, ye generation of
vipers, how can ye escape the
damnation of hell?
Lu. 20 — 16 Beware of the scribes,
which desire to walk in long robes,
and love greetings in the markets,
and the highest seats in the syna-
fogues, and the chief rooms at
47 wViich devour widows'houses,
and for a shew make long prayers :
the same shall receive greater
damnation.
Ac. 23—8 For the Sadducees say
that there is no resurrection,
neither angel, nor spirit: but the
Pharisees confess both.

De. 8—15 Who led thee through
that great and terrible wilder-

Nu. 21—5 And the people spake
against God, and against ]\roses.
Wherefore have ye brought us up
3

out of Egypt to die in the wilder-
ness? for there is no bread, neither
is there any water: and oui' soul
loatheth this light bread.
6 And the Lord sent fiery ser-
pents among the people, and they
bit the people ; and much people
of Israel died.
', 7 Therefore the people came to
Moses, and said, We have sinned,
for we have spoken against the
Lord, and against thee ; pray imto
the Lord, that he take away the
serpents from us. And Moses pray-
ed for the people.
8 And the Lord said unto Moses,
Make thee a fiery serpent, and set
it upon a pole : and it sliall come
to pass, that every one that is bit-
ten, when he lopketh upon it,
shall live.
9 And Moses made a serpent of
brass, and put it upon a pole ; and
it came to pass, that if a serpent
had bitten any man, when he be-
held the serpent of brass,he lived.

Mat. 5—33 Ye have heard that it

at all ; neither by heaven ; for it is
God's throne:
35 Nor by the earth; for it is his
footstool: neither by Jerusalem;
for it is the cityof the great King.
36 Neither shalt thou swear by
thy head, because thou cansfnot

17 Ye fools and blind : for wheth-
er is greater, the gold, or the tem-
ple that sanctifieth the gold?
18 And, Whosoever shall swear
by the altar, it is nothing; but
whosoever sweareth by the gift
that is upon it, he is guilty.
19 Ye fools and blind: for wheth-
er is greater, the gift, or the altar
that sanctifieth the gift?
20 Whoso therefore shall swear
by the altar, sweareth by it, and
by all things thereon.
21 And whoso shall swear by the
temple, sweareth by it, and by
him that dweileth therein.

of God, and by him that sitteth
thereon, p. 261.
1 Ti. 1—20 Hymeneus and Alex-
ander; I have delivered unto Sa-
tan, that they may learn not to
blaspheme.
He. 6—13 For when God made
promise to Abraham, because he
could swear by no greater, lie
sware by himself,
14 Saying, Surely blessing I will
bless thee, and multiplying I will
multiply thee.
15 And so, after he hstd patiently
endured, he obtained the promise.
16 For men verily swear by the
greater: and an oath for coii-
tirmatiou is to them an end of all
strife.
17 Wherein God, willing more
abundantly to shew unto the heirs
of promise the immutability of
his counsel, contirmed it by an
oath. .
Ge. 22—15 And the Angel of the
Lord called unto Abraham out of
heaven the second time,
16 Aud said. By myself have I
swonu saith the I>ord, for be-
cause thou hast done this thing,
and hast not withheld thy sou,
thine only son, .
17 That in blessing I will bless
thee, and in multiplying I will
multiply thy seed as the stars of
the heaven, and as the sand which
is upon the sea shore ; and thy
seed shall possess the gate of his
enemies;
18 And in thy seed shall all the
nations of the earth l)e blessed ;
because thou hast obeyed my
voice, p. 492.
Ge. 26—3 Sojourn in this land,
Isaac, and I will be with thee, and
will bless thee; for uuto thee, and
imto thv seed, I will give all these
countries, and I will perform the
oath which I sware unto Abraham
thy father;
4 And I will make thy seed to
multiply as the stai-s of heaven
and will give unto thy seed all
these countries; aud in thy seed
shall all the nations of the earth

Ge. 28—10 And Jacob went out
from Beer-sheba, and went toward
Haran.
11 And he lighted upon a certain
place, and tarried there all night,
because the sun was set; and he
took of the stones of that place,
and put them for his pillows, and
lay down in that place to sleep.
12 And he dreamed, and behold
a ladder set up on the earth, and
the top of it reached to heaven:
and behold the angels of God
ascending and descending on it.
13 And, behold, the Lord stood
above it, and said, I am the Lord
God of Abraham thy father, and
the God of Isaac: the land where-
on thou liest, to thee will I give
it, and to thy seed ;
14 And thy seed shall be as the
dust of the earth ; and thou shalt
spread abroad to the west, and to
the east, and to the north, and
to the south : and in thee and in
thy seed shall all the families of
the earth be blessed.
15 And, behold, I am with thee,
and will keep thee in all places
whither thou goest, and will bring
thee again into this land: for I
will not leave thee, until I have
done that which 1 have spoken to
thee of.
Le. 20—1 And the Lord spake
unto Moses, saying,
2 Again, thou shalt say to the
children of Israel, Whosoever he
be of the children of Israel, or of
the strangers that sojourn in Isra-
el, that giveth any of his seed
unto Molech; he shall surely be
put to death: the people of the
land shall stone Mm with stones.
3 And I will set my face against
that man, and will cut him off
from among his people; because
he hath given of his seed unto
Molech, to defile my sanctuary,
and to profane my holy name.
4 And if the people of the land
do any ways hide their eyes from
the man, when he giveth of his
seed unto Molech, and kill him
not;
5 Then I will set my face against
that man, and against his family,
and will cut him off, and all that
go a whoring after nim, to com-
mit whoredom with Molech, from
among theirpeople.
Ezr. 9—2 For they have taken
of their daughters for themselves,
and for their sons: so that the holy
seed have mingled themselves
with the people of those lands:
yea, the hand of the princes and
rulers hath been chief in this
trespass.
Is. 61—9 And their seed shall be
known among the Gentiles: all
that see them shall acknowledge
them,that they are the seed which
the Lord hath blessed, p. 474.

Pro. 3— 24 When thou liest down,
thou shalt not be afraid : yea, thou
shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall
be sweet.
Pro. 4—16 For they sleep not, ex-
cept they have done mischief;
and their sleep is taken away,
miless they cause some to fall.
Pro. 6—4 Give not sleep to thine
eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.
9 How long wilt thou sleep,
sluggard? wiien wilt thou arise
out of thy sleep?
10 Yet a little sleep, a little
slumber, a little folding of the
hands to sleep:
11 So shall thy poverty come as
one that travelletn, and thy want
as an armed man.
Pro. 10—5 He that gathereth in
summer is a wise son : but he that
sleepeth in harvest is the son that
caiiseth shame.
Pro. 20—13 Love not sleep, lest
thou come to poverty: open thine
eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied
with bread.
Ec. 5-12 The sleep of a labouring
man is sweet, whether he eat little
or much : but tlie abundance of the

Ro. 13—11 And that, knowing

to awake out of sleep: for now is
our salvation nearer than when

1 Co. 11—30 For this cause many
are weak aud sickly among you,
and many sleep.
1 Co. 15—51 Behold, 1 shew you

but we shall all be changed.
Ep. 5—14 Wherefore he saith.
Awake thou that sleepest, and
arise from the dead, and Christ
shall give thee light.
1 Th. 5—6 Therefore let us not
sleep, as do others; but let us
watch and be sober.
7 For they that sleep sleep in the
night; and they that be drunken
are drunken in the night.
8 But let us, who are of the day,
be sober, putting on the breast-
plate of faith and love; and for a
helmet, the hope of salvation.
1 Pe. 4—7 But the end of all
things is at hand : be ye therefore
sober, and watch unto prayer.
1 Pe. 5—8 Be sober, be vigilant;
because your adversary the devil,

Ps. 116—6 The Lord preserveth
the simple: I was brought low,
and he helped me.
Pro. 1—22 How long, ve simple
ones, will ye love simplicity? and
the scorners delight in their scorn-
ing, and fools hate knowledge?
;i2 For the turning away of the
simple shall slay them, and the
prosperity of fools shall destroy
th«m.
Pro. 8—5 O ye simple, under-
stand wisdom : and, ye fools, be ye
of an understanding heart.
Pro. 5^-4 Whoso is simple, let
him turn in hither: as for him
that wanteth understanding, she
saith to him,
5 Come, eat of my bread, and
drink of the wine which I have
mingled.

ful in his work is brother to him
that is a great wastei'.
Pro. 19—15 Slothfuluess castetli
into a deep sleep ; and an idle soul
shall suffer hunger.
24 A slothful man hideth his
hand in his bosom, and will not so
much as bring it to his mouth.
Pro. 21—25 The desire of the
slothful killeth him; for his
hands refuse to labour.
26 He coveteth greedily all the
daylong: but the righteous giv-
eth and spareth not.
Pro 24—30 1 went by the field of
the slothful, and the vineyard of
the man void of understanding ;
31 And, lo, it was all grown over
with thorns, and nettles had cov-
eredthe face thereof , and the stone
wall thereof was broken down.
32 Then 1 saw, and considered
it well: I looked upon it, aud re-
ceived instruction.
33 Yet a little sleep, a little
slumber, a little folding of the
hands to sleep:
34 So shall thy poverty come as
one that travelleth; aud thy
want as an armed man.
Pro. 26—13 The slothful man
saith. There is a lion in the way;
a lion is in the streets.
14 As the door turneth upon his
hinges, so doth the slothful upon
his bed.
15 The slothful hideth his hand
in his bosom ; it grieveth him to
bring it again to his mouth.
16 The sluggard is wiser in his
own conceit than seveii men that
can render a reason.
Pro. 10—26 As vinegar to the
teeth, and as smoke to the eyes,
so is the sluggard to them that
send him.
Pro. 20-4 The sluggard will not
plough by reason of the cold;
therefore shall he beg in harvest,
and have nothing.
Pro. 9—7 He that reproveth a
scorner getteth to himself shame:
and he that rebuketh a wicked
man getteth himself a blot.
8 Reprove not a scorner, lest he
hate thee: rebuke a wise man,
and he will love thee.

50 We have brought an oblation
for the Lord, what every man

51 And Moses and Eleazar the

52 And all the gold of the of-
fering that they offered up to the
Lord, of the captains of thou-
sands, and of the captains of

seven hundred and fifty shekels.
53 (For the men of war had

25 And they answered. We will
willuigly give them. And they
spread a garment, and did cast
therein every man the earrings of
his prey.
26 And the weight of the golden
earring.s that he requested was a

whereof was a talent of gold with
the precious stones : and it was set
on David's head. And he brought

abundance.
31 And he' brought forth the

liver thyself, when thou art come
into the hand of thy friend; go,
humble thy.self, and make .sure
thy friend.

man enter in, he shall be saved,
and shall go in and out, and find
pasture.
10 The thief cometh not, bi;t for
to steal, and to kill, and to de-
stroy : I am come that they m ight

have it more abmidantly.

not the shepherd, whose own the
sheep are not, seeth the wolf com-
ing, and leaveth the sheep, and
fleeth; and the wolf catcheth
theni, and scattereth the sheep.

he is a hkeling, and carethnot for

Re. 14—1 I looked, and, lo, a
Lamb stood on mount Sion, and
with him a hundred forty and
four thousand, having his Father's
name written in their foreheads.
2 And 1 heard a voice. from heav-
en, as the voice of many waters,
and as the voice of a great thun-
der: and 1 heard the voice of
harpers harping with their harps:
3 And they sung as it were a
new soug before tlie throne, and
before the four beasts, and the
elders: and no man could learn
that song but the hundred and
forty and four thousand, which
were redeemed from the earth.
4 These are they which were not
defiled with women ; for they are
virgins. These are they which
follow the Lamb whithersoever he
goeth. These were redeemed
from among men, being the first-
fruits unto God and to the Lamb.
5 And in their mouth was found
no guile: for they are without
fault before the throne of God.
Re. 19—7 Let us be glad and re-
joice, and give honour to him: for

clean and white : tor the fine linen
is the righteousness of saints.

10 But the goat, on w^iich the lot
fell to be the scapegoat, shall be
presented alive before the Lord,
to make an atonement with him,
and to let him go for a scapegoat
into the wilderness.
21 And Aaron shall lay both his
hands upon the head f>f the live
goat, and confess over him all the
iniquities of the children of Israel,
and all their transgressions in all
their sins, putthig them upon the
head of the goat, and .shall .send
him away by the hand of a fit
man into the wilderness:
22 And the goat shall bear upon
him all their iniquities unto a

let go the goat in the wilderness.

have not visited them: behold, I
will visit upon you the evil of your
doings.
3 And I will gather the remnant
of my flock out of all countries
whither I have driven them, and

cry ; and wallow yourselves in the
ashes, ye principal of the flock : for

no way to flee, nor the principal
of the flock to escape.

Jos. 7—1 But the children of
Israel committed a trespass in the
accursed thing: for Achau, of the
tribe of Judah, took of the ac-
cursed thing: and the anger of
tlie Lord was kindled against
the children of Israel.
2 And Joshua sent men from
Jericho to Ai, about three thou-
sand men; and they tied before
the men of Ai.
5 And the men of Ai smote of
them about thirty and six men:
wherefor the hearts of the people
melted, and became as water.
6 And Joshua rent his clothes,
and fell to the earth upon his face
before the ark of the Lord until
the eventide, he and the elders of
Israel, and put dust upon their
heads.
8 O Lord, what shall I say, when
Israel turneth their backs before
their enemies!
10 And the Lord said unto
Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore
liest thou thus upon thy face?
11 Israel hath simied, and they
have also transgressed my cove-
nant which 1 commanded them:
for they have even taken of the
accursed thing, and they have put
it even among their own stuff.
12 Therefore the children of Is-
rael could not stand before their
enemies, because they were ac-
cursed : neither will I be with you
any more, except ye destroy the
accursed from among you.
13 Up, sanctify the people, aud
say. Sanctify yourselves against
to morrow: for thus saitli the
Lord God of Israel, There is an
accursed tiling in the midst of
thee, O Israel: thou canst not
stand before thine enemies, until
ye take away the accursed thing
from among you.
14 In the morning therefore ye
shall be brouglit according to your
tribes: and it shall be, that the
tribe which the Lord taketh shall
come according to the families
thereof; and the family which the
Lord shall take shall come by
278
households; and the household
which the Lord shall take shall
come mau by man.
15 And it shall be, that he that
is taken with the accursed thing
shall be burnt with tire, he and
all that he hath: because he hath
transgressed the covenant of the
Lord, and because he hath
wrought folly in Israel. .
16 So Joshua rose up early in the
morning, and brought Israel bv
their ti-ibes; and the tribe of
:jxxdah was taken:
17 And he brought the family of
Judah; and he took the family of
the Zarhites: and he brought "the
family of the Zarhites man by
man ; and Zabdi was taken:
18 And he brought his household
man by man; and Achan, the son
of Carmi, thesonof Zabdi, the son
of Zerah, bt the tribe of Judah,
was taken.
19 And Joshua said tinto Achan,
My son, give, I pray thee, glory to
the Lord Crod of Israel, and make
confession imto him; and tell me
.now what thou hast done ; hide it
not from me.
20 And Achan answered Joshua,
and said, Indeed I have sinned
against the Lord God of Israel,
and thus and thiiis have I done:
21 When I saAV' among the spoils
a goodly Babylonish garment, and
two hundred shekels of silver, and
a wedge of gold of tifty shekels
weight, then I coveted them, and
took them; and, behold, thev
are hid in the earth in the midst
of my tent, and the silver under
if- " . ': .-.■;•;. ;■, ■ ,
' ' 22 So Joshua' sfeiit ' "messengers,
and th'6yran unto the tent; and.
behold. It was hid in his tent, and
the silver under it.
23 And they took them out of
the midst of the tent, and brought
'them unto Joshua, and imto all
the children of Israel, and laid
them out before the Lord.
24 And Joshua, and all Israel
with him, took Achan the son of
Zerah, and the silver, and the gar-
ment, and the wedge of gold, and
his sons, find his diiughters, and
his flxen, and his asses, and his
sheep,, and his tent, and all that
he had: and they brought tliem
unto the valley of Achor.
'2.5 And Joshua said, Whv hast
tltoti troubled us? the Lord shall
trouble thee.this dav. And all Is-
raer stoned him with stones, and
burped them with fire, after they
had stoned them with stones.
26 And they raised over him a
gi'eat heap of stones unto this day.
So the Lord turned from tlie
fierceness of , his anger. Where-
fore the name of that place was
called. The valley of Achor, imto
this day.
Ac. 2 — 43 And many wonders and
signs were done by the apostles.

not. It is enough.
17 The eye that mocketli at his
father, and despiseth to obeyliis
mother, the ravens of the valley
shall pick it out, and the young
eagles shall eat it.
18 There be three things which
are too wonderful for me, yea,
four which I know not:
19 The way of an eagle in tlie
air : the way of a serpent upon a
rock; the way of a ship in the
midst of the sea; and the way of a
man with a maid.
21 For three things the earth is
disquieted, and for four which it
cannot bear: ' . '
23 For a servant when he reigh-
eth ; and a fool when he iS filled
withtneat;
2:^ For an odious woman when
she is maiTied; and a handmaid
that is heir to her mistress. •
24 There be four things which
are little upon the earth, but they
areexceedingwi.se:
25 The ants are a people not
strong, yet they prepare their
meat ni the summer;
26 The conies are but a feeble
folk, yet make they their houses
in the rocks; , ,
27 The locusts have no king, yet
go they forth all of them by
bands;

Ec. 1—8 All things are full of
labour; man cannot utter it: tlie
eye is not satisfied with .seemg,

9 The thing that hath been, it
is tliat which shall be: and that
which is done is that which shall
be done: and there is no new
thing under the sun.
10 Is there any thing whereof it
may be said. See, this is new? it

Ps. 39—1 I said, I will take heed
to my ways, that I sin not with
my tongue : I will keep my moutli
with a bridle, while the wicked is
before me.
2 I was dumb with silence, I
held my peace, even from good;
and my sorrow was stirred.
3 My heart was hot within me;
while I was musing the tire burn-
ed : then .spake I with my tongue.
4 Lord, make me to know mine
end, and the measure of my days,
what it is; that I may know how
frail I am.
Ps. 52—1 Why boastest thou thy-
self in mischief, O mighty man?
the goodness of God eudureth
continually.
2 Thy tongue deviseth mis-
chiefs ; like a shai-p razor, working
deceitfully.
3 Thou lovest evil more than
good; and lying rather than to
speak righteousness. Selah.
4 Thou lovest all devouring
words, O thou deceitful tongue.
Ps. 120—2 Deliver my soul, O
Lord, from lying lips, and from a
deceitful tongue.
3 What shall be given unto thee?
or what shall be done unto thee,
thou false tongue?
4 Sharp arrows of the mighty,
with coals of juniper.
Pro. 10—20 The tongue of the
just is as choice silver: the heart
of the wicked is little worth.
Pro. 15—4 A wholesome tongue
is a tree of life: hut perverseness
therein is a breach in the spirit.
Pro. 17—4 A wicked doer giveth
heed to fal.se lips; and a liar giv-
eth ear to a naughty tongue.
Pro. 18—21 Death and life are in
the power of the tongue : and they
that love it shall eat the fniit
thereof.
Pro. 2.5—15 By long forbearing is
a prince persuaded, and a soft
tongue breaketh the bone.

Pro. 25—23 The north wind driv-
eth away rain : so doth an angry
countenance a backbiting tongue.
Pro. 26—28 A lying tongue hat-
eth tliose that are afflicted by it ;
and a flattering moutli worketh
ruin.
Is. 35—6 Then shall the lame
man leap as a hart, and the tongue
of the du.mb sing.
Je. 9—8 Their tongue is as an
arrow shot Out; it speaketh de-
ceit : one speaketh peaceably to his
neighbour with his mouth, but in
heart he layeth his wait.
Ac. 2—3 And there appeared un-
to them cloveh tongues like as of
fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all fi,^lled with
the Holy Ghost, and began to
speak with other tongues, as the
Spirit gave them utterance.
Ja. 3—3 Behold, we put bits in
the horses' mOuths, that they may
obey us; and we turn about their
whole body.
4 Behold also the ships, which
though they be so great, and are
driven of fierce winds, yet are
they turned about with a very
small helm, whithersoever the
governor listeth.
5 Even so the tongue is a lit-
tle member, and boasteth great
things. Behold, how great a mat-
ter a little fire kindleth!
G And the tongue is a fire, a
world of initiuity : so is the tongue
among our members, tliat it de-
tileth the whole body, and setteth
on tire the course of nature ; and
it is set on fire of hell.
7 For every kind of beasts, aiid
of birds, and of serpents, and of
things in the sea, is tamed, and
hath been tamed of mankind :
8 But the tongue can no man
tame; it is an unruly e\i\, full of
deadly poison.
f> Therewith bless we God, even
the Father; and therewith curse
we men, which are made after
the similitude of God.
10 Out of the sam6 mouth pro-
ceedeth blessing and cursing.
Prophesy preferred to the gift of
tongues.
1 Co. 14—1 Follow after charity,
and desire spiritual gifts, but
rather that ye may propiiesy.
2 For he that speaketh hi an un-
known tongue speaketh not unto
nien, but unto God: for no man
understandeth him ; howbeit in
the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
3 But he that prophesinth speak-
eth unto_men to edification, and
exhortation, and comfort.
4 He that speaketh in an un-
known tongue editieth himself;
but he that prophesieth edifieth
the church.
51 would that ye all spake with
tongues, but rather that ye proph-
esied ; for greater is lie that proph-
esieth than he that speaketh with
tongues, except he inteipret, that
the church may receive edifying.
6 Now, brethren, if I come unto
you speaking with tongues, what
shall I profit you, except I shall
speak to you either by revelation,
or by knowledge, or by prophesy-
ing, or by doctrine?
7 And even things without life
giving .sound, whether pipe or
harp, except they give a distinct-
tion in the sounds, iiow shall it be
known what is piped or harped?
8 For if thertrumpet give an un-
certain .sound, who shall prepare
himself to the battle?
9 So likewi.se ye, except ye utter
by the tongue words easy to be
understood, how shall it be known
what is spoken? for ye shall speak
into the air.
10 There are, it may be, so many
kinds of voices in the worldj and
none of them is without sigmfica-
tion.
11 Therefore if I know not the
meaning of the voice, 1 shall be
unto him that speaketh a barba-
rian, and he that speaketh shall
be a barbarian unto me.
12 Even so ye, for as much as ye
are zealous of .spiritual gifts, seek
that ye may excel to the edifying
of the churcb,
13 Wherefore let him that speak-
eth in an unknown tongue pray
that he may interpret.
14 For if I pray in an unknown
tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my
understanding is unfruitful.
15 What is it then? I will pray
with the spirit, and 1 will pray
with tlie understanding also: 1
will sing with the spirit, and 1 will
sing witli the undeivstanduig also.
16 Else, when thou shalt ble.ss
with the spirit, how shall he that
occupieth tlie room of the un-
learned say Amen at thy giving of
thanks, seeing he understandeth
not what thou sayest>
283
17 For thou verily givest thanks
well, but the other is uot editieel.
18 I thank my (iod, I speak with
tongues more than ye all:
19 Yet in the chiu-ch 1 had rather
speak live words with my under-
standing, that by my vt)ice I
might teach others also, than ten
thousand words iu an unknown
tongue.
20 Brethren, be not children 'in
undei'standing: howboit in malice
be ye children, but iu understand-
ing be men.
■Jl In the law it is written. With
men of other tongues and other
lips will I speak unto this people;
and yet for all tliat will they not
hear me, saith the Lord.
(Is. 28—11 For with stammering-
lips and another tongue will he
speak to this people.)
22 Wherefore tongues are for a
sign, not to them that believe,
but to them that believe not : but
prophesying serveth uot for them
that believe uot, but for them
which believe.
23 If therefore the whole church
be come together into one place,
and all speak with tongues, and
there come in those that are un-
learned, or unbelievei-s, will they
not say that ye are mad?
24 But if all prophesy, and there
come in one that believeth uot, or
one unlearned, he is convinced of
all, he is judged of all:
25 And thus are the secrets of
his heart made manifest: and so
falling do^Ti on his face he will
worship God, and report that God
is in you of a ti'uth.
26 How is it then, brethren?
when ye come together, every one
of you hath a psalm, hath a doc-
trine, hath a tongue, hath a rev-
elation, hath an interpretation.
Let all things be done unto edify-
ing.
27 If any man speak in an un-
known tongue, let it be by two, or
at the most by three, and that by
course ; and let one interpret.
28 But if there be no interpreter,
let him keep silence in the church ;
and let him speak to himself, and
to God.
29 Let the prophets speak two or
three, and let the other judge.
30 If anything be revealed to an-
other that sitteth by, let the first
bold his peace.
31 For ye may all prophesy one
by one, that all may learn, and all
may be comforted.
32 And the spiritsof the prophets
are subject to the prophets.
37 If anv man think himself to
be a pi'ophet, or spiritual, let him
acknowledge that the things that
I write unto you are the command-
ments of the Lord.
38 But if any man be ignorant,
let him be ignorant.
3;i Wherefore, l)rethren, covet to
prophesy, and forbid not to speak
with tongues.

THE TEMPLE, the House of
God. Christ driveth the buyers
and sellers out of the Temple, and
also overthrew the tables of the
money changers in the Temple.
See Mat. 21, Mar. 11, Lu. 19. Jno. 2,
and Je. 7, following, etc. Solo-
mon's Temple, p. 366-372. Temple
of Diana, Ac. 19. 24-28.
Mat. 21—12 And Jesus went into
the temple of God, and cast out all
them that sold and bought in the
temple, and overthrew the tables
of the money changers, and the
seats of them that sold doves,
13 And said unto them. It is
written. My house shall be called
the house of prayer ; but ye have
made it a den of thieves.
Mar. 11—15 And they come to Je-
rusalem: and Jesus went into the
temple, and began to cast out
them that sold and bought in the
temple, and overthrew the tables
of tne money changers, and the
seats of them that sold doves:
16 And would not suffer that
any man should carry any vessel
through the temple.
17 And he taught, saying unto
them. Is it not written, My house
shall be called of all nations the
house of prayer? but ye have
made it a den of thieves.
Lu. 19—45 And he went into the
temple, and began to cast out
them that sold therein, and them
that bought;
46 Saying unto them. It is writ-
ten. My house is the house of
prayer; but ye have made it a
den of thieves.
47 And he taught daily in the
temple. But the chief priests and
the scribes and the chief of the
people sought to destroy him,
48 And could not lind what they
might do: for all the people were
very attentive to hear him.
Jno. 2—13 And the Jews' pass-
over was at hand, and Jesus went
up to Jesusalem,
14 And found in the temple those
that sold oxen and sheep and
doves, and the changers of money
sitting:
15 And when he had made a
scourge of small cords, he drove
them all out of the temple, and
the sheep, and the oxen; and
poured out the changers' money,
and overthrew the tables;
16 And said unto them that sold
doves. Take these things hence ;
make not my Father's house a
house of merchandise.
17 And his disciples remem-
bered that it was written. The zeal
of thine house hath eaten me up:
18 Then answered the Jews and
said unto him. What sign shewcst
thou unto us, seeing that thou do-
est these things?
19 Jesus answered and said un-
to them. Destroy this temple, and
in three days I will raise it up.
20 Then said the Jews, Forty
and six years was this temple in
building, and wilt thou rear it up
in three days?
21 But he spake of the temple
of his body.
22 When therefore he was risen
from the dead, his disciples re-
membered that he had said this
unto them ; and they believed the
Scripture, and the word which
Jesus had said.
285
Je. 7—8 Behold ye trust in lying
words, that cannot profit.
10 And come ana stand before
nie in this house, which is called
by lyy name, and say, We are de-
livered to do all these abomina-
tions?
11 Is this house, which is called
by my name, become a den of
robbers in your eyes? Behold,
even 1 have seen it, saith the
Lord.
12 But go ye now unto my place
which was in Shiloh, where I set
mv name at the lirst, and see what
I did to it for the wickedness of
my people Israel.
13 And now, because ye have
done all these works, saith the
Lord, and I spake unto you, ris-
ing up early and speaking, but ye
heard not ; and I called you, but
ye answered not ;
14 Therefore will I do unto this
house, which is called by my
name, wherein ye trust, and unto
the place which I gave to you and
to your fathers, as I have done to
Shiloh.
15 And I will cast you out of my
sight, as I have cast out all your
brethren, even the whole seed of
Ephraim.
16 Therefore pray not thou for
this people, neitlier lift up cry nor
prayer for them, neither make
intercession tome: for I will not
hear thee.

Re. 4—1 I looked, and, behold, a
door was opened in heaven: and
the first voice which I heard was
as it were of a trumpet talking
with me; which said, Come up
hither, and I will shew thee
things which must be hereafter.
2 And immediately 1 was in the
Spu'it: and, behold, a throne was
set in heaven, and one sat on the
throne.
3 And he that sat was to look
upon like a jasper and a sardine
stone: and there was a rainbow
round about the throne, in sight
like unto an emerald.
4 And round about the throne
were four and twenty seats: and
upon the seats I saw four and
twenty elders sitting, clothed in
white raiment ; and they had on
their heads cro\vns of gold.
5 And out of the throne pro-
ceeded lightnings and thimder-
ings and voices: and there were
seven lamps of tire bm-ning be-
fore the throne, which are the
seven Spirits of God.
286
6 And before the throne there
was a sea of glass like imto ci-ys-
tal : and in the midst of the throne,
and round about the throne, were
foiu' beasts full of eyes before and
behind.
7 And the first beast was like a
lion, and the second beast like a
calf,- and the third beast had a
face as a man, and the fourth
beast was like a tiying eagle.
8 And the four beasts had each
of them six wings about him ; and
they were full of eyes within: and
they rest not day and night, say-
ing. Holy, holy, holy, Lord God
Almighty, which was, and is, and
is to come.
9 And when those beasts give
glory and honour and thanks to
him that sat on the throne, who
liveth for ever and ever,
10 The four and twenty elders
fall down before him that sat on
the throne, and worship him that
liveth for ever and ever, and cast
their crowns before the throne,
saying,
11 Tliou art worthy, O Lord, to
receive glory and honour and
power: for thou hast created all
things, and tor thy pleasure they
are and were created.
Re. 7—9 I beheld, and, lo, a
great multitude, which no man
could number, of all nations, and
kindreds, and people, and tongues,
stood before the throne, and be-
fore the Lamb, clothed with white
robes, and palms in their hands;
10 And cried with a loud voice,
.saying, Salvation to oiu" <Tod
which sitteth upon the throne,
and unto the Lamb.
11 And all the angels stood round
about the throne, and about the
elders and the four beasts, and fell
before the throne on their faces,
and worshipped (lod,
12 vSayLng, Amen : Blessing, and
glory, and wisdom, and thanks-
giviiig, and honour, and power,
and might, be mito our God for
ever and ever. Amen.
13 And one of the elders answer-
ed, saying unto me. What are
these which are arrayed in white
robes? and whence came they?
14 And I said unto him, Sir,
tbovi knowest. And he said to
me, These are they which came
out of great tribulation, and have
washed their robes, and made
them white in the blood of the
Lamb.
15 Therefore are they before the
throne of God, and serve him day
and night in his temple : and he
that sitteth on the throne shall
dwell among them.
IG They shall hunger no more,
neither thirst ; neither shall the
sun light on them, nor any heat.
17 For the Lamb which is in the
midst of the throne shall feed
them, and shall lead them unto
living fountains of waters: and
God shall wipe away all tears
from their eyes.
Ps. 89—3 1 have made a covenant
with my chosen, I have sworn un-
to David my servant,
4 Thy seed will I establish for
ever, and biiild up thy throne to
all generations. Selah.
20 1 have found David my serv-
ant ; with my holy oil have I
anointed him.
27 Also I will make him my tirst-
boni, higher than the kings of the
earth.
28 My mercy will 1 keep for him
for evermore, and my covenant
shall stand fast with him.
29 His seed also will I make to
endure for ever, and his throne as
the days of heaven.
solfhischildren forsake my law,
and walk not in my judgments;
31 If they break my statutes, and
keep not my comnuxndments;
32 Then -nill 1 vLsit their trans-
gression with the rod, and their
iniquity witli stripes.
33 Nevertheless my lovingkiud-
ness will I not utterly take from
him, nor suffer my faithfulness to
fail.
34 My covenant will I not break,
nor alter the thing that is gone
out of my lips.
a5 Once have I sworn by my holi-
ness that 1 will not lie unto David.
3(5 His seed shall endure forever,
and his throne as the sun before
me.
37 It shall be established for
ever as the moon, and as a faith-
ful witness in heaven. Selah.
38 But thou hast cast off and ab-
hon'cd, thow hast been wroth with
thine anointed.
39 Thou hast made void the cov-
enant of thy .servant: thou hast
profaned bis crown by casting it
to the gi-ound.
T
287
43 Tliou hast also turned the
edge of his sword, and hast not
made liiin to stand in the hattle.
44 Thou hast made liis glory to
cease, and cast his throne down
to the ground .
45 The days of his youth hast
thoii shortened : thou hast covered
him with shame. Ps. 132, p. 36.
1 Ki. 10—16 And king Solomon
made two himdred targets of
heaten gold : six hundred shekels
of gold went to one target.
17 And he made three hundred
shields of beaten gold; three
jMiunds of gold went to one
sliield: and tlie king put them in
tlie houseof the forest of ]>el)anon.
18 1 Moreover, the king made a
great throne of ivory, and over-
laid it with tlie hest gold.
19 The throne had six steps, and
the top of the throne was roimd
beliind : and there were stays on
either side on the place of the
seat, and two lions stood beside
the stays.
20 And twelve lions stood there
on the one side and on the other
upon the six steps: there was not
the like made in any kingdom.
•21 And all king Solomon's
drinking ve.ssels were of gold, and
all the vessels of the house of the
forest of Lebanon were of pure
gold; none were of .silver: it was
nothing accounted of in the days
of Solomon, p. 372.
Ps. 11—4 The Lord is in his holy
temple, the Lord's throne is in

Is. 66—1 Thus .saith the Lord,
The heaven is my throne, and the
eai-th is my footstool: where is
the house that ye build unto me?
and where is the place of my rest?
2 For all those things hath mine
hand made, and all tliose things
have been, saith the Lord: but to
this man will I look, even to him
that is poor and of a contrite
spirit, and tremhleth at my word.
He. 4—16 Let us therefore come
boldly unto the throne of gi-ace,
that we may obtain mercy, and

2Ki. 14—9 And Jeboashthe king
of Israel sent to Amaziah king of
Judah, saying. The thistle tliat

and there passed by a wild beast

down the thistle.
1 Chr. 16—33 Then shall the trees
of tlie wood sing out at the pres-
ence of the Lord, because he
Cometh to judge the earth.
Job 14—7 For there is hope of a
tree, if it be cut down, that it will
sprout again, and that the tender
branch thereof will not cease.
8 Though the root thereof wax
old in the earth, and the stock
thereof die in the groimd ;
9 Yet through the scent of water
it will bud, and bring forth boughs
like a plant.
10 But man dieth, and wasteth

Lord have brought down the high

Mat. 3—10 And now alsothe axe
is laid unto the root of the trees:
therefore every tree which bring-

down, and cast into the tire.
Mat. 7—15 Beware of false proph-
ets, which come to you in sheep's
clothing, but inwardly they are
ravening wolves.
IG Ye shall know them by their
fruits. Do men gather grapes of
thorns, or tigs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bring-
eth forth good fruit; but a cor-
rupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth
evil fruit, neither can a corrupt
tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not
forth good fruit is hewn down,
and cast into the fu-e.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye
shall know them.
Mat. 12—33 Either make the tree
good, and his fruit good ; or else
make the tree conaipt, and his
fruit corrupt: for the tree is
known by his fruit.
Lu. 23—31 For if they do these
things in a green tree, what shall

Mat. 21—18 Now in the morning,
as Jesus returned into the city,
he hungered.
19 And when he saw a fig tree in
the way, he came to it, and found
nothuig thereon, but leaves only,
and said unto it. Let no fruit grow
on thee henceforward for ever.
20 And when the disciples .saw
it, they marvelled, saying. How
soon isthe fig tree withered away'.
21 Jesus answered and said unto
them, Verily 1 say unto you. If ye
have faith.and doubt not, ye shall
not only do this which is done to
the fig tree, but also if ye shall
say unto this mountain, Be thou
removed, and be thou cast into
the sea ; it shall be done.
Lu. 13—6 A certain man had a
fig tree planted in his vineyard ;
and he came and sought fi-uit
thereon, and fomid none.
7 Then said he imto the dresser
of hisvineyard,Behold,these three
yeai-s I come seeking fruit on this
fig tree, and find none : cut itdowu ;
why cumbereth it the ground?
8 And he said unto liim, Lord,
let it alone this year also, till 1
shall dig about it, and dung it:
9 And if it bear fruit, well: and
if not, then after that thou shalt
cut it down.
Re. 2—7 He that hath an ear, let

(Ac. 11—5 I was in the city of
Joppa praying: and in a trance I
saw a vision, A certain vessel de-
scend, as it had been a great sheet,
let down from heaven uy four cor-
ners; and it came even to me.)
11 And saw heaven opened, and
a certain vessel descending unto
liini, as it had been a gi-eat sheet
knit at the four corners, and let
down to the earth :
12 Wherein were all manner of
f ourf ooted beasts of the earth, and
wild beasts, and creeping things,
and fowls of the au-.
13 And there came a voice to
him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
14 But Peter said, INot so. Lord;
for I have never eaten any thing
that is common or unclean.

again the second time. What God
hath cleansed, that call not thou
common.

vessel was received up again into
heaven.

from before you; then it shall
come to pas8, that those ■which ye

sides, and shall vex you in the
land wherein ye dwell.
INIi. 7 — i The best of them is as a
brier: the most upright is sharper
than a thorn hedge.
2 Co. 12—7 And lest I should be
exalted above measure through
the abundance of the revelations,
there was given to me a thorn in
the tlesh, the messenger of Satan
to buffet me, lest I should be ex-
alted above measure.

that they might only touch the
hem of his garment: and as many
as touched were made perfectly
whole.
2 Co. 6—17 Come out from among
them, saith the Lord, and touch
not the unclean thing.
Col. 2— 21 Touch not; taste not;
handle not.
Ex. 21—27 And if he smite out
his manservant's tooth, or his
maidservant's tooth ; he shall let
him go free for his tooth's sake.

wrath, he gnasheth upon me with
his teeth; mine enemy sharpen-

Pro. 8—7 For my mouth shall
speak truth ^ and wickedness is
an abomination to my lips.
Pro. 12—17 He that speaketh
truth sheweth forth righteous-
ness: but a false witness deceit.
18 There is that speaketh like
the piercings of a sword: but the
tongue of the wise is health.
19 The lip of truth shall be estab-
lished for ever: but a lying tongue
Ls but for a moment.
Pro. 23—23 Buy the truth, and
sell it not; also wisdom, and in-

therefore meddle not with him
that flattereth with his lips.

Pro. 26—20 Where no wood is,

the innermost parts of tlie belly.
Ps. 6—6 I am weary with my
groaning; all the night make I

couch with my tears.
Ps. 56—8 Put thou my tears into
thy bottle: are they not in thy
book?
Ps. 80—5 Thou feedest them with
the bread of tears; and givest
them tears to druik in great

thoughts, and devices which ye
wrongfully imagine against me.

Is. 55—8 My thoughts are not
your thoughts, neither are your
ways my ways, saith the Lord.
9 For as the heavens are higher
than the earth, so are my ways
higher than your ways, and my
thoughts than your thoughts.
Ec. 4—9 Two are better than
one; because they have a good
reward for their labour.
10 For if they fall, the one will
lift up his fellow: but woe to him
that is alone when he falleth; for
he hath not another to helphim up.
11 Again, if two lie together,
then they have heat : but how can
one be warm alone?
12 And if one prevail against
him, two shall withstand him;
and a threefold cord is not quickly
broken.
Am. 3—3 Can two walk together,
except they be agreed?
Mat. 18—19 Again I say. That if
two of you shall agree on earth as
touching any thing that they shall
ask, it shall be done for them of
my Father which is in heaven.
20 For where two or three are
gathered together in my name,
there am I in the midst of them.
Mat. 24. 40, 41, p. 488.
Je. 7—30 The children of Judah
have done evil in my sight, saith
the Lord:
31 And they have bi^ilt the high
places of Tophet, which is in tlie
valley of the sou of Hinnom, to
293
bum their sons aud their daugh-
ters in the tire; which I com-
manded them not, neither came
it into my heart.
32 Therefore, behold, the days
come, saith the Lord, that it shall
no more be called Tophet, nor The
valley of the son of Hinuom, but
The valley of slaughter: for they
shall bury in Tophet, till there be
no place.
33 And the carcasses of this peo-
ple shall be meat for the fowls of
the heaven, and for the beasts of
the earth; and none shall fray
them away.
34 Then will I cause to cease
from the cities of Judah, and from
the streets of Jerusalem, the voice
of mirth, and the voice of glad-
ness, the voice of the bridegroom,
aud the voice of the bride: for the
land shall be desolate.
Is. 29—20 For the terrible one is
brought to nought, and the scorner
is consumed, and all that watch

yearly with the third part of a
shekel for the service of the house
of our God.
37 And that we should bring the
firstfruits of our dough, and our
offerings, and the fruit of all man-
ner of trees, of wine aud of oil,
unto the priests, to the chambers
of the house of our God ; and the
tithes of our ground unto the Le-
vites, that the same Levites might
have the tithes in all the cities of
our tillage.
38 And the priest the son of Aa-
ron shall be with the Levites,
wlien the Levites take tithes: and
the Levites shall bring up the
tithe of the tithes unto the house
of our God, to the chambers, into
the treasure house.
Mai. 3 10— Bring ye all the tithes
in tothe storehouse, that there may
be meat in mine house, and prove
me now herewith, saith the Lord,
if I will not open you the wm-
dows of heaven, and pour you out
a blessing, that there shall not be
room enough to receive it. n. 486.
Lu. 11—42 Woe unto you, Phari-
sees! for ye tithe mint and me and
all maimer of herbs, and pass over
judgment and the love of God:
these ought ye to have done, and
not to leave the other undone.
TRIBUTE. See also 2 Ki. 3. 4, p.
272; Ro. 13. 6, 7, p. 146.
1 Ki. 9— 20 And all the people that
were left of the Amorites, Hittites,
Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.
which were not of the children of
Israel,
21 Their children that were left
after them in the land, whom the
chiklren of Israel also were not
able utterly to destroy, upon
those did Solomon levy a tribute
of bondservice unto this day.
2 Ki. 15—19 And Pul the king of
Assyria came against the land:
and Menahem gave Pul a thou-
sand talents of silver, that his
hand might be with him to con-
firm the kingdom in liiSkhand.
20 And Menahem exacted the
money of Israel, even of all the
mighty men of wealth, of each
man lifty shekels of silver, to give
to the king of Assyria. So the
king of Assyria turned back, and
stayed not there in the land.
2 Ki.18— 13 Now in the fourteenth
year of king Hezekiah did Sen-
nacherib king of Assyria come up
against all the fenced cities of
Judah, and took them.
14 And Hezekiah king of Judah
sent to the king of Assyria to
Lachish, saying, I have offended;
return from me: that which thou
puttest on me will I hear. And
the king of Assyria appointed un-
to Hezekiah king of Judah three
hundred talents of silver and
thirty talents of gold.
15 And Hezekiah gare him all
the silver that was found in the
house of the Lord, and in the
treasures of the king's house.
10 At that time did Hezekiah
cut off the gold from the doors of
the temple of the Lord and from
the pillars, and gave it tothe king
of Assyria.
294
2 Clir. 17—11 Some of the Philis-
tines brought Jehoshapliat pres-
ents, and tribute silver; and the
Arabians brought liim Hocks, sev-
en thovrsaud and seven hundred
rams, and seven thousand and
seven hundred he goats, p. 431.
2 Chr. 27—5 He fought also with
the king of the Ammonites, and
prevailed agauistthem. And the
children of Amnion gave him the
same year a hundred talents of
silver, and ten thousand measures
of wheat, and ten thousand of
barley. So much did the children
of Amnion pay unto him, bothlhe
second year, and the third.
6 So Jotham became mighty,
because lie prepared liis ways be-
fore the Lord his God.
Mat. 17— 24 And when they were
come to Capernaum, they that re-
ceived tribute money came to Pe-
ter, and said. Doth not your mas-
ter pay tribute?
25 He saith, Yes. And when he
was come into the house, Jesus
prevented him, . saying. What
thinkest thou, Simon? of whom
do the kings of the earth take
custom or tribute? of their own
children, or of strangers?
•26 Peter saith unto him, Of
.strangers. Jesus saith unto him.
Then are the children free.
27 Notwithstanding, lest we
should offend them, go thou to
the sea, and cast a hook, and take
up the tish that hist cometh up ;
and when thou has opened his
mouth, thou shalt tiud a piece of
money; that take, and give unto
them for me and thee.
Lu. 20—22 Is it lawful for us to
give tribute mito Cesar, or no?
23 But Jesus perceived their
craftiness, and said unto them,
Why tempt ye me?
24 Shew me a penny. Whose
image and subscription hath it?
They answered and said, Cesar's.
25 And he said unto them, Ren-
der therefore unto Cesar the
things which be Cesar's, and
unto God the things which be
God's.

Nu. 10—1 And the Lord spake
unto Moses, saying,
2 Make thee two trumpets of
.silver ; of a whole piece shalt thou
make them: that thou niayest
use them for the calling of the as-
sembly, and for the jom-neying of
the camps.
3 And when they shall blow
with them, all the assembly shall
assemble themselves to thee at
the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation.
4 And if they blow but with one
trumpet, then the princes, which
are heads of the thousands of Is-
rael, shall gather themselves unto
thee.
5 When ye blow an alarm, then
the camps that lie on the east
parts shall go forward.
6 When ye blow an alarm the
second time, then the camps
that lie on the south side shall
take theii- journey: they shall
blow an alarm for their journeys.
7 But when the congregation is
to be gathered together, ye shall
blow, but ye- shall not sound an
alarm.
8 And the sons of Aaron, the
priests, shall blow with the trum-
pets; and they shall be to you for
an ordinance for ever throughout
your generations.
9 And if ye go to war in your
land against the enemy that op-
presseth you, then ye shall blow
an alarm with the trumpets; and
ye shall be remembered befoi-e
the Lord your God, and ye shall
be saved from your enemies.
10 Also in the day of your glad-
ness, and in your solemn days, and
in the beginnings of your months,
ye shall blow with the trumpets
over yom- bunit offerings, and
over the sacrifices of your peace
offerings; that they may be to
you for a memorial before yom'
God.

ye ought to be teachers, ye have
need that one teach you again
which be the first principles of
the oracles of God ; aud are be-
come such as have need of milk,
and not of strong meat.
13 For every one that useth milk
is unskilful in the word of right-
eousness: for he is a babe.
14 But strong meat belongeth to
them that are of full age, even
those who by reason of use have
their senses exercised to discern
both good and evil.
2 Pe. 2—1 There shall be false
teachers among you, who privily
shall bring in damnable heresies,
even denying the Lord that
bought them, and l)ring upon
themselves swift destruction.
2 And many shall follow their
pernicious ways; by reason of
whom the way of truth shall be
evil spoken of.

tenipted the Lord, saying. Is the
Lord among us, or not?
Nu. 20—1 Then came the chil-
dren of Israel, even the whole con-
gregation, into the desert of Zin
in the first month : and the people
abode in Kadesh.
2 And there was no water for the
congregation : and they gathered
w

W
themselvestogetheragaiust Moses
and agaiust Aaron.
'i And the people chode with
Moses, and spake, saying, Would
(iod that we had died when our
brethren died before the Lord !
4 And why haA'e ye brought up
the congregation of the Lord into
this wilderness, that we and our
cattle should die there?
5 And wherefore have ye made
us to come up out of Egypt, to
bring us in unto this evil place?
it is no place of seed, or of tigs,
or of vines, or of pomegranates;
neither is there any water to drink.
G And Moses and Aaron went
from the presence of the assembly
unto the door of the tabernacle of
the congregation, and they fell
upon their faces: and the glory
of the Lord appeared unto them.
7 And the Lord spake unto
Moses, saying,
8 Take the rod, and gather thou
the assembly together, thou and
Aaron thy brother, and' speak ye
unto the rock before theu- eyes;
and it shall give forth his water,
and thou shalt bring forth to them
water out of the rock: so thou
shalt give the congregation and
their beasts drink. Nu. 21. 16, p. 302.
9 And Moses took the rod from
before the Lord, as he command-
ed him.
10 And Moses and Aaron gath-
ered the congregation together
before the rock, and he said, Hear
now, ye rebels; must we fetch
you water out of this rock?
11 And Moses lifted up his hand,
and with his rod he smote the rock
twice: and the water came out
abundantly, and the congregation
drank, and their beasts also.
12 And the Lord spake unto
Moses and Aaron, Because ye be-
lieved me not, to sanctify me in
tlie eyes of the children of Israel,
therefore ye shall not bring this
congregation into the laud which
I have given them.
13 This is the water of Meribah ;
because the children of Israel
strove with the Lord, and he was
sanctified in them.
Elisha healed the waters.
2 Ki. 2—19 And the men of the
city said unto Elisha, Behold, 1
praj' thee, the situation of this
city is pleasant, as my lord seeth:
but the water is naught, and the
ground barren.
20 And he said. Bring me a new
cruse, and put salt therein. And
they brought it to him.
21 And he went forth unto the
spring of the waters, and cast the
salt in there, and said. Thus saith
tlie Lord, I have healed these
waters; there shall not be from
thence any more death or barren
land,
22 So the waters were healed
unto this day. according to the
saying of Elisha which he spake.
Ezekiel's vision of the Holy
waters. ,
Eze.47— 1 Afterward he brought
me again unto the door of the
house ; and, behold, waters issued
out from under the threshold
of the liouse eastward: for the
forefront of the house stood to-
ward the east, and the waters
came down from under, from the
right side of the house, at the
south side of the altar.
2 Theu brought he me out of the
way of the gate northward, and
led me about the way without
unto the outer gate by the M^ay
that looketh eastward; and, be^
hold, there ran out waters on the
right side.
3 And when the man that had
the line in his hand went forth
eastward, he measured a thousand
cubits, and he brought me through
the waters ; the waters were to the
ankles.
i Agaiuhemeasured athousand,
and brought me through the
waters; the waters M'ere to the
knees. Again he measured a thou-
sand, and brought me through;
the waters were to the loins.
5 Afterward he measured a
thousand ; and it was a river that
1 could not pass over: for the
waters were risen, waters to swim
in, a river that could not be passed
over.
G H And he said imto me, Son of
man, hast thou seen this? Then
he brouglit me, and caused me to
return to the brink of the river.
7 Now when 1 had returned, be-
hold, at the bank of the river were
very many trees on the one side
and on the other.
8 Then said he unto me. These
waters issue out toward the east
w

W
country, and go down into the
desert, and go into the sea : which
being brouglit forth into the sea,
the waters shall be healed.
9 And it shall come to pass, that
every thing that livetli, which
moveth, whithersoever the rivers
shall come, shall live: and there
shall be a very great multitude
of fish, because these waters shall
come thither: for they shall be
healed ; and every thing shall
live whither the river cometh.
10 And it shall come to pass, that
the fishers shall stand upon it from
En-gedi even unto En-eglaim ;
they shall be a place to spread
forth nets ; their fish shall be ac-
cording to their kinds, as the fish
of the great sea, exceeding many.
11 But the miry places and the
marshes thereof shall not be
healed; they shall be given to
salt.
12 And by the river upon the
bank thereof, on this side and on
that side, shall grow all trees for
meat, whose leaf shall not fade,
neither shall the fruit thereof be
consumed: it shall bring forth
new fruit according to his months,
because their waters they issued
out of the sanctuai-y : and the fruit
thereof shall be for meat, and the
leaf thereof for medicine.
Christ turneth Water into Wine,
his first miracle; water turned in-
to blood, Ex. 7. 19, 20, p. 152.
Jno. 2—1 And the third day there
was a marriage in Cana of Galilee ;
and the mother of Jesus was there :
2 And both Jesus was called, and
his disciples, to the mamage.
3 And when they wanted wine,
the mother of Jesus saith iinto
him. They have no wine.
4 Jesus saith unto her. Woman,
what have 1 to do with thee? mine
hour is not yet come.
5 His mother saith unto the serv-
ants. Whatsoever he saith unto
you, do it.
6 And there were set there six
waterpots of stone, after the man-
ner of the purifying of the Jews,
containing two or three firkins
apiece.
7 Jesus saith unto them. Fill the
waterpots with water. And they
filled them up to the brim.
8 And he saith unto them. Draw
out now, and bear unto the gov-
ernor of the feast. And they bare
it.
9 When the ruler of the feast had
tasted the water that was made
wine, and knew not whence it was,
(but the servants which drew the
water knew,) the governor of the
feast called the bridegroom,
10 And saith unto him. Every
man at the beginning doth set
forth good wine ; and when men
have well drunk, then that which
is worse: but thou hast kept the
good wine until now.
1 1 Thisbeginning of miracles did
Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and mani-
fested forth his glory; and his
disciples believed on him.

hath chosen thee to be a peculiar
people unto himself, above all the
nations that are upon the earth.
22 Thou shalt truly tithe all the
increase of thy seed, that the field

Lord thy God, in the place which
he shall choose to place his name

for thee, so that thou art not able
to carry it; or if the place be too
far from thee, which the Lord thy
(-rod shall choose to set his name
there, when the Lord thy God
liath blessed thee:
25 Then shalt thou turn it into
money, and bind up the money in
thine hand, and shalt go unto the
place which the Lord thy God
shall choose:
26 And thou shalt bestow that
money for whatsoever thy soul
lustetn after, for oxen, or for
sheep, or for wine, or for strong
drink, or for whatsoever thy soul
desireth : and thou shalt eat there
before the Lord thy God, and
thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine
household,
27 And the Levite that is with-
in thy gates; thou shalt not for-
sake him: for he hath no part nor
inheritance with thee.
28 At the end of three years
thou shalt bring forth all the tithe
of thine Increase the same year,
and shalt lay it up within thy
gates:
29 And the Levite, (because he
hath no part nor inheritaaice with
t hee,) and the stranger, the father-
less, and the widow, which are
within thy gates, shall come, and
shall eat and be satisfied; that

De. 32—32 For their vine is of

saying. Ye shall drink no wiue,
neither ye, nor your sons forever:
7 Neither shall ye build house,
nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard,
nor have any : but all your days ye
shall dwell in tents; that ye may
live many days in the land where
ye be strangers.
8 Thvis have we obeyed the voice
of Jonadab our father in all that
he hath charged us, to drink no
wine all our days, we, our wives,
our sons, nor our daugliters ;
9 Nor to build houses for us to
dwell in; neither have we vine-
yard, nor field, nor seed :
10 But we have dwelt in tents,

appear unto Solomon, and said.
Ask what 1 shall give thee.
8 And Solomon said unto God,
Thou hast shewed great mercy
unto David my father, and hast
made me to reign in his stead.
9 Now, O Lord God, let thy
promise unto David my father be
established : for thou hast made
w

me king over a people like the
dust of tire earth in multitude.
10 Give me now wisdom and
knowledge, that I may go out and
come in before this people: for
who can judge this thy people,
that is so great?
U And God said to Solomon, Be-
cause this was in thine heart, and
thou hast not asked riches,wealth,
or honour, nor the life of thine
enemies, neither yet hast asked
long life; hut hast asked wisdom
and knowledge for thyself, that
thou mayest judge my people,
over whom I have made thee
king:
12 Wisdom and knowledge is
granted unto thee ; and I will give
thee riches, and wealth, and hon-
our, such as none of the kings
have had that have been before
thee, neither shall there any after
thee have the like.
2 Chr. 9-22 And king Solomon
passed all the kings of the earth
in riches and wisdom.
23 And all the kings of the
earth sought the presence of Solo-
mon, to hear Ins wisdom, that
God had put in his heart.
24 And they brought every man
his present, ves.sels of silver, and
vessels of gold, and raiment, har-
ness, and spices, hor.ses, and
mules, a rate year by year.
Ec. 1—12 I the Preacher was
king over Israel in Jerusalem.
13 And I gave my heart to seek
and search out by wisdom con-
cerning all things that are done
under heaven: this sore travail
hath God given to the sons of man
to be exercised therewith.
l-t I have seen all the works that
are done under the sun; and, be-
hold, all is vanity and vexation
of spirit.
15 That which is crooked cannot
be made straight : and that which
is wanting cannot be nuinbered.
16 I communed with mine own
heart, saying, Lo, I am come to
great estate, and have gotten more
wisdom than all they that have
been before me in Jenisalem; yea,
my heart had great experience of
wisdom and knowledge.
17 And I gave my heart to know
wisdom, and to know madness
and folly: I perceived that this
also is vexation of .spirit.
18 For in much wisdom is much
gi-ief: and he that increaseth
knowledge increaseth sorrow.

Job 28—12 But where shall wis-
dom be found? and where is the
place of understanding?
13 Man knoweth not the price
thereof; neither is it found in the
land of the living.
14 The depth saith. It is not in
me: and the sea saith, It is not
with me.
15 It cannot be gotten for gold,
neither shall silver be weighecl
for the price thereof.
16 It cannot be valued with the
gold of Ophir, with the precious
onyx, or the sapphire.
17 The gold and the crystal can-
not equal it: and the exchange of
it shall not be for jewels of fine
gold.
18 No mention shall be made of
coral, or of pearls: for the price
of wisdom is above rubies.
19 The topaz of Ethiopia shall
not equal it, neither shall it be
valued with pure gold.
20 Whence then cometh wis-
dom? and where is the place of
understanding?

Pro. 9—1 Wisdom hath builded
her house, she hath hewn out her

wise for thyself: but if thou

Pro. 16— IG How much better is
it to get wisdom than gohl ! and to
get understanding rather to be

an inheritance: and by it there is

money is a defence : but the excel-
lency of knowledge iss.that wisdom
giveth life to them that have it.
23 All this have I proved by wis-
dom: I said, 1 will be wise; but it
was far from me.
Ec. 9—17 The words of wise men
are heard in quiet more than tlie
cry of him that ruleth among

thy riches,and thine heart is lifted

7 But we speak the wisdom of
God in a mystery, even the hidden

15 This wisdom descendeth not
from above, but is earthly, sen-
sual, devilish.

•Job 21—7 Wherefore do the wick-
ed live, become old, yea. are
mightv in power?
8 Their seed is established in
their sight with them, and theu'
offspring before their eyes.
9 Their houses are safe from
fear, neither is the rod of God
upon them.
loTlieir bull gendereth,and fail-
eth not: their cow calveth, and
casteth not her calf.
11 They send forth their little
ones like a flock, and their chil-
dren dance.
12 They take the timbrel and
harp, and rejoice at the sound of
the organ.
13 Ihey spend their days in
wealth, and in a moment go down
to the grave.
30 The wicked is reserved to
the day of destruction :
Ps. 73—3 For I was envious at
the foolish, when I saw the pros-
peritv of the wicked.
5 They are not in trouble as other
men; neither are they plagued
like other men.
7 Their eves stand out with fat-
ness: they have more than heart
could wish.
8 They are corrupt, and speak
wickedlv concerning oppression:
9 Thev set then- mouth against
the heavens, and their tongue
walketh through the earth.
10 Therefore his people return
hither: and waters of a full cup
are wrung out to them.
11 And they say. How doth God

the Most High?
12 Behold, these are the ungodly,
who prosper in the world; they
increase in riches.

eous are hold as a lion.
Job 20 — 1 Knowest thou not this
of old, since man was placed upon
earth? p. 385.
5 That the triumphing of the
wicked is short, and the joy of the
hypocrite but for a moment?
28 The increase of his house shall
depart, and his goods shall flow
awav in the day of his wrath.
29 This is the 'portion of a wick-

Eze. 33—1 Agaui the word of the
Lord came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, speak to the chil-
dren of thy people, and say unto
them. When 1 bring the sword
upon a land, if the people of the
laud take a man of their coasts,
and .set him for their watchman:
3 If when he seeth the sword
come upon the land, he blow the
trumpet, and warn the people :
4 Then whosoever heareth the
sound of the trumpet, and taketh
not warning: if the sword come,
and take him away, his blood
.shall be upon his own head.
5 He heard the sound of the
trumpet, and took not warning;
his blood shall be upon him. But
he that taketh warning .shall de-
liver his soul.
But if the watchman .see the
sword come, and blow not the
trumpet, and the people be not
warned; if the sword come, and
take any person from among
them, he is taken away in his in-
iquity ; but his blood will I require
at the watchman's hand.
7 ^ So thou, O son of man, I
have set thee a watchman unto
the house of Israel : therefore thou
shalt hear the word at my mouth,
and wani them from me.
w
314
W
8 \Yhen I say unto the wicked,
wicked man, thou shalt surely
die: if thou dost not speak to
warn the wicked from his way,
that wicked man shall die in his
iniquity ; hut his blood will I re-
quire at thine hand.
9 Nevertheless, if thou warn the
wicked of his way to turn from it ;
if he do not turn from his way, he
shall die in his iniquity ; but thou
hast delivered thy soul.
11 As I live, saith the Lord God,
1 have no pleasure in the death of
the wicked: but that the wicked
tuni from his way and live: turn
ve, turn ye from your evil ways:
for why will ye die, O house of
Israel?
12 Therefore, thou son of man,
sav luito the children of thy peo-
ple, The righteousness of the
righteous shall not deliver him in
the day of his transgression: as
for the wickedness of the wicked,
he shall not fall thereby in the
day that he turueth from liis
wickedness; neither .shall the
righteous be able to live for his
righteousness in the day that he
sinueth.
13 When I shall say to the right-
eous, that he shall surely live: if
he trust to his own righteousness,
and commit iniquity, all his right-
eousness shall not be rememijer-
ed; but for his iniquity that he
hath committed, he shall die.
11 Again, when I .say unto the
wicked. Thou shalt sxirely die; if
he turn from his sin, and do that
which is laM-f ul and right ;
15 If the wicked restore the
pledge, give again that he had
robbed, walk in the statutes of
life, without committing iniquity ;
he shall sui'ely live, he shall not
die.
16 None of his sins that he hath
oommitted shall be mentioned
unto him: he hath done that
which is lawful and right; he
shall surely live.
18 When the righteous tumeth
from his righteousness, and com-
mitteth iniqviity, he shall even
die thereby.
19 But if the wicked turn from
his wickedness, and do that which
is lawful and right, he shall live
thereby.

De. 17-6 At the mouth of t^'o
witnesses, or three witnesses, shall
lie that is worthy of deatli be put
to death ; but at the mouth of one
witness he shall not be put to
death.
De. 19—16 If a false witness rise
up against any man to testify
against him that which is wrong;
17 Then both the men, between
whom the controversy is, shall
stand before the Lord, before the
priests and the judges, M^iichshall
be in those days;
18 And the judges shall make
diligent inquisition: and, behold,
if the witness be a false witness,
and hath testitied falsely against
his brother ;
19 Then shall ye do unto him, as
he hard thought tohave done unto
his brother: .so shalt thou put the
evil away from among you. ;
20 Aiid those which remain shall
hear, and fear, and shall commit
no more any such evil.
21 And thine eye shalt not pity;
but life shall go for life, eye for
eye, tooth for tooth, hand for
hand, foot for foot.

gotten Son, that whosoever be-
lieveth in him should not perish,

but that the world tlu'ough him

It hated you.
19 If ye were of the world, the
world would love his own; but
because ye are not of the world,

22 Fair weather cometh out of
the north: with God is terrible
majesty.
Ps. 18—10 And he rode upon a
cherub, and did Hy : yea, he did
riy uixm the wings of the wind.
11 He made darkness his secret
place; his pavilion round about
him were dark waters and thick
clouds of the skies.
Pro. i,")— 23 The north wind driv-
eth away rain: .so doth an angry
countenance a backbiting tongue.
Ec. 1—6 The wind goeth toward
the south, and tunieth about unto
the north ; it whirleth about con-
tinually, and the wind returneth
again according to his circuits.

Mat. 16—2 Jesus answered and
said unto them. When it is even-
ing, ye say. It will he fair weather :
for the sky is red.
' 3 And in the morning, It will be
foul weather to day : for the sky is
red and lowering. O ye hypo-
crites, ye can discern the face of
the sky; but can ye not discern
the signs of the times?
Lu. 12—54 And Jesus said also to
the people. When ye see a cloud
rise out of the west, straightway
ye say. There cometh a shower;
and so it is.
55 And when ye see the south
wind blow, ye say. There will be
heat : and it cometh to pass.
56 Ye hypocrites, ye can discern
the face of the sky and of the
earth; but how is it that ye do
not discern this time?
Is. 5—18 Woe unto them that
draw iniquity with cords of van-
ity, and sm as it were with a cart
rope.
21 Woe imto them that are wise

Lord hath added grief to my sor-
row.
Hab. 2—6 Shall not all these
take up a parable against him,

him, and say. Woe to him that in-
creaseth that which is not his !

are rich! for ye have received
your consolation.

Le. 19—13 Thou Shalt not defraud
thy neighbour, neither rob him :
the wages of him that is hired
shall not abide with thee all
night until the morning.
De. 24—14 Thou shalt not op-
press a hired servant that is poor
and needy, whether he be of thy
brethren, or of thy strangers that
are in thy land within thy gates:
15 At his day thou shalt give
him his hire, neither shall the
sun go down upon it; for he is
poor, and settetli his heart upon
it: lest he cry against thee unto
the Lord, and it be sin unto thee.

Eze. 13—10 % Because they have
seduced my people, saying, Feace ;
and there was no peace ; and one
bnilt up a wall, and, lo, others
daubed it with imtempered mor-
tar:
11 Say unto them which daub it
with mitempered mortar, that it
shall fall: there shall beauover-
tiowiug shower; and ye, O great
hailstones, shall fall ; and astormy
wind shall rend it.
12 Lo, when the wall is fallen,
shall it not be said unto you.
Where is the daubing wherewith
ye have daubed it?
13 Therefore thussaith the Lord
God: I will even rend it with a
stormy wind in my fury ; and there
f<hall be au overdowuig shower in
mine anger, and great hailstones
in my fui-y to consume it.
U So will 1 break down the wall
that ye have daubed with mitem-
pered mortar, and bring it down
to the ground, so that the founda-
tion thereof shall be discovered,
and it shall fall, and ye shall be
consumed in the midst thereuf:
and ye shall know that I am the
Lord.
15 Thus will I accomplish my
wrath upon the wall, and uixin
them that have daubed it with
untempered nun-tar, and will say
luito you. The wall is no more,
neither they that daubed it :
10 To wit, the prophets of Israel
which prophecy concerning Jeru-
salem, and wliich see visions of
peace for her, and there is no
peace, saith the Lord God.
Eze. 8—7 And lie brought me to
the door of the court ; and when I
looked, behold a hole in the wall.
8 Then said he unto me, Son of
man, dig now in the wall: and
when I had digged in the wall,
behold a door.
9 And he said unto me. Go in,
and behold the wicked abomina-
tions that they do here.
10 So I went in and saw: and
behold every form of creeping
things, and abominable beasts,
and all the idols of the house or
Israel, portrayed upon the wall
round aoout.

bal by the morning light any that

Je. 15—18 Why is my pain per-
petual, and my wound incurable,

Je. 30—12 For thus saith the
Lord, Thy bruise is incurable,

cause, that thou mayest be bound

1 Sa.28— 3 Now Samuel was dead.
and all Israel had lamented him,
and buried him in Ramah, even
in his i>wn city. And Saul had
put away those that had familiar
spirits, and the wizards, out of
the laud.
4 And the Philistines gathered
themselves together, and came
and pitched in Shunem: and Saul
gathered all Israel together, and
they pitched in Gilboa.
5 And when Saul saw the host of
the Philistines, he was afraid, and
his heart greatly trembled.
6 And when Saul inquii-ed of the
Lord, the Lord answered him
not, neither by dreams, nor by
Urim, nor by prophets.
7 Then said Saul unto his serv-
ants. Seek me a woman that hath
a familiar spirit, that 1 may go to
her, and inquire of her. And his
servants said to him, Behold.there
is a woman that hath a familiar
spirit at En-dor.
8 And Saul disguised himself,
and put on other raiment, and he
went, and two men with him, and
they came to the woman by night :
and he said, I pray thee, divine
unto me by the familiar spirit,
and bring me him up, whom I
shall name unto thee.
9 And the woman said unto him.
Behold, thou knowest what Saul
hath done, how he hath cut off
those that have familiar spirits,
and the wizards, out of the land:
wherefore then layest thou a
snare for my life, to cause me to
die?
10 And Saul sware to her by the
Lord, saying. As the Lord liveth,
there shall no pimishment happen
to thee for this thing.
11 Then said the woman. Whom
shall I bring up unto thee? And
he said. Bring me up Samuel.
12 And when the woman saw
Samuel, she cried with a loud
voice: and the woman spake to
Saul, saying. Why hast thou de-
ceived me? for thou art Saul.
13 And tiie kijig said unto her.
Be not afraid: for what sawest
thou? And the woman said unto
Saiil, I saw gods ascending out of
the earth.
. 14 And he said unto her, What
form is he of? And she said. An
old man cometh up; and he is
covered with a mantle. And Saul
perceived that it was Samuel, and
he stooped with his face to the
ground, and bowed himself.
w
322
w
15 t And Samuel said to Saul, |
Why hast thou disquieted me, to
liniig- me uy? Aud 8aul answered,
I am sore distressed : for tlie Phil-
istines make war against me, aud
God is departed from me, aud au-
swereth me no mure, neither by
prophets, nor by dreams: therefore
I have called thee, that thou may-
est make known unto me what I
shall do. ,^,
16 Then said Samuel, Wherefore
then dost thou ask of me, seeing
the Lord is departed from thee,
and is become tiiine enemy?
17 And the Lokd hath done to
him, as he spake by me: for the
Lord hath rent the kingdom out
of thine hand, and given it to thy
neighbour, even to David :
18 Because thou obeyedst not
the voice of the Lord, nor execu-
tedst his fierce wrath upon Ama-
lek, therefore hath the Lord done
this thing mito thee this dav.
19 Moreover the Lord will also
deliver Israel with thee into the
hand of the Philistines: and to
morrow shalt thou and thy sons be
with me: the Lord also shall de-
liver the host of Israel into the
hand of the Philistines.
20 Then Saul fell straightway
all along on the earth, and was
sore afraid, because of the words
of Samuel: and there was no
strength in him ; for he had eaten
no bread all the day, nor all the
night.
21 And the woman came unto
Saul, and saw that he was sore
troubled, and said unto him. Be-
hold, thinehandmaidhath obeyed
thy voice, and I have put my life
in my hand, and have hearkened
unto thy words which thou
spakest unto me.
22 Now therefore, I pray thee,
hearken thou also unto the voice
of thine handmaid, and let me
set a morsel of bread before thee ;
and eat that thou mayest have
strength, when thou goest on thy
23 But he refused, and said, I
will not eat. But his servants, to-
gether with the woman, com-
pelled him : and he hearkened un-
to their voice. So he rose from the
earth, aaid sat upon the bed.
24 And the woman had a fat calf
in the house ; and she hasted, and
killed it, and took Hour, and
kneaded it, and did bake un-
leavened bread thereof:
2.5 And she brought it before
Saul, and before his servants: and
they did eat. Then they ruse up,
and went away that night. See
1 Sa. 31, p. -121, 42:;.
Ac. 8—9 There was a certain
man, called Simon, which before-
time in the same city used sorcery,
and bewitched the people of Sa-
maria, giving out that himself
was some great one :
10 To whom they all gave heed,
from the least to the greatest, say-
ing. This man is the great power
of God.
11 And to him they had regard,
because that of long time he had
bewitched them with sorceries.
12 But whenthey believed Philip
preaching the things concerning
the kingdom of God, and the name
of Jesus Christ, they were baptiz-
ed, both men and women.
13 Then Simon himself believed
also: and when he was baptized,
he continued with Philip, and
wondered , beholding the miracles
and signs w'hich were done.
18 And when Simon saw that
through laying on of the apostles'
hands the Holy Ghost was given,
he offered them money,
19 Saying, Give me also this
power, that on whomsoever I lay
hands, he may receive the Holy
Ghost. . _,,
20 But Peter said unto him. Thy
money perish with thee, because
thou hast thought that the gift
of God may be purchased with
money.
21 Thou hast neither part nor
lot in this matter: for thy heart
is not right in the sight of God.
22 Repent therefore of this thy
wickedness, and pray God, if per-
haps the thought of thine heart
may be forgiven thee.
23 For I perceive that thou art
in the gall of bitterness, and in
the bond of iniquity.
24 Then answered Simon, and
said, Prav ve to the Lord for me,
that none of these things which
ye have spoken come up<:m me.
2 Ki. 23—24 Moreover the work-
ers with familiar spirits, and the
wizards, and the images, and the
idols, and all the abominations
that were spied in the land of
Judah and in Jerusalem, did
Josiah put away.

familiar spirits, neither seek after
wizards, to be defiled by them.
Le. 20—6 And the soul that tum-
eth after such as have familiar
spirits, and after wizards, to go a
whoring after them, I will even
set my face against tliat soul, and
will cut him off from among his
people.
27 A man also or woman that
hath a familiar spirit, or that is a

found among you any one that
maketh his son or his daughterto

11 Or a charmer, or a consulter
with familiar spirits, or a wizard,

12 Forall that dothese things are
an abomination unto the Lord.
2Chr. 33— 6 And Manasseh caus-
ed his children to pass through
the fire in the valley of the son of
Hinnom: also he observed times,
and used enchantments, and used
witchcraft, and dealt with a fa-
miliar spirit, and with wizards:
he wrought much evil in the
sight of the Lord, to provoke him
to anger.
Is. 8—19 And when they shall
say unto you. Seek unto them
that have familiar spirits, and
unto wizards that peep and that
liuitter: should not a people seek
unto their God? for the living to
the dead?
Is. 47—13 Thou art wearied in
the multitude of thy counsels.
Let now the astrologers, the star-
gazers, the monthly prognosti-

diviners, nor to your dreamers,

Eze. 21— 21 For the king of Baby-
lon stood at the parting of the
way, at the head of the two ways,

arrows bright, he consulted with
images, he looked in the liver.
22 At his right hand was the div-
ination for Jerusalem, to appoint
captains, to open the mouth in
the slaughter, to lift up the voice
with shouting, to appoint batter-
ing rams against the gates, to cast
a mount, and to build a fort.
23 And it shall be unto them as
a false divination in their sight.

crafts; and thou shalt have no

A CONDENSED HISTOEY OF THE HEBREWS,
ISRAELITES, OR JEWS
(Ge. 14. 13 AXD 32. 28, p. 404, 492; 2 Ki. 16. 6, p. 136.)
FROM ABRAHAM. 1921 B.C.. TO ST. JOHN THE DIVINE, A.D. 96.
According to the old Bible or
Jewish History. God called Abra-
ham, a native of Ur of the Chal-
dees (Ge. 11. 31, p. 39) to be the
father of his chosen people (Ge.
12. 13, 15, 17, p. 148, 149, and 234) and
the founder of the greatest nation
of brave, honest, charitable, pure,
and virtuous people that this
world would ever know. Now
all this was to come to pass if
his chosen people would only obey
his commands (Ex. 19 and 20, p.
45, 46. and Le. 26, De. 28, p. 161-
16.5), which of course they did
not do; and God, in his great
and wonderful wisdom, must
have known that they would
not do it. "For the Lord knows
the thoughts of man" (Ps. 94. 11,
p. 299), and the eyes of the
Lord run to and fro throughout
the whole earth" (2 Chr. 16. 9. p.
87). For "the eyes of the Lord
are in every place, beholding the
evil and the good" (Pro. 15. 3,
p. 87. See also Pro. 16. l, 9, and
20. 24, p. 191; Jno. 3. 27, p. 107;
1 Co. 7. 17, p. 50). So Abraham, as
the Lord commanded him, left
Ur, and went to Canaan (p. 148,
149) ; and there he fought and won
a great battle, the first battle
mentioned in the Bible (Ge. 14, p.
404); and, on his retiirn fnmi the
battle, " The king of Sodom went
out to meet him; and jNIelchize-
dek king of Salem brought forth
bread and wine," etc. After this
the Lord said unto Abraham,
"Know of a surety that thy seed
shall be a stranger in a land that
isnot theirs, and shall serve them,
and they shall afflict them 4(io
years." Ge. 15. 13, p. 149. For
other history in regard to Abra-
ham, see p. 41. 42 52. 148, 149,
334, 491. 492; and Abraham's
nephew Lot, his wife and daugh-
ters, and the destruction of
Sodom and Gomorrah, Ge. 19, p.
40, 41. Also history of Abraham's
sous, Ishmael and Isaac, and his
grandsons, Esau and Jacob, p.

journed in the Philistines' land

Joseph sold into Egypt by his
brothers. This was done by the
Lord's decree (Ge. 37, p. 346, and
Ge. 45. 5-8, p. 352). Jacob and his
entire family go down into Egypt
(Ge. 46, p. 149, 150, and Ge. 47, p. 353).
Birth of Moses, 1571 B.C., 425 years
after tlie birth of Abraham (Ex.
2, p. a54). Moses in.structed and
commanded by the Lord to lead
the children of Israel out of Egypt
and iiito the promised land, the
land of Canaan, etc., from which
tliev came from into Egypt (Ge.
12. 5 and 15. 18-21 and 46. 1-27, p.
148-1.5(J; De. 30. 5. p. 166). The exo-
dus from Egypt, see p. 150-160.
In the second year after leaving
Egypt the children of Israel came
near to the promised land, and
Moses, by the Lord's command,
sent one man from each of the
twelve tribes to spy out the land
of Canaan, etc., the promised land.
the land flownig with milk and
honey (Ex. 3. 8. p. 150, and Nu.
10. 11, 12, and 13. 1-33, and 32. 8-15;
De. 1. 19-46 and 2. 13-15). They
went and returned as Moses com-
manded them ; and, with the ex-
ception of Joshua and Caleb, they
made an evil, lying report to Mo-
ses and tlie children of Israel.
This they did because they were
afraid ot the people whom they
saw in the promised land (Nu. 13.
26-33) ; and in consequence the Lord
turned them back to wander in
the wilderness thirty-eight years
more, and also slew the men that
made the evil report, and put a
citrse upon all the balance of that
great multitude. Seethe follow-
ing verses: —
328
Nu. 14—28 Say unto them, As
truly as I live, saith the Lord, as
ye have spokeu in mine ears, so
will I do to you:
29 Your carcasses shall fall in
this wilderness, and all that were
numbered of you, according to
youi- whole number, from twenty
years old and upward, which have
murmured against me,
30 Doubtless ye shall not come
into the land, concerning which I
sware to make you dwell therein,
save Caleb the son of Jephunneh,
and Joshua the son of Nun.
31 But your little ones, which ye
said should be a prey, them will I
bring in, and they shall know the
land which ye have despised.
32 But as for you, your carcasses,
they shall fall in this wilder-
ness.
33 And your children shall wan-
der in the wilderness forty years,
and bear your whoredoms, until
your carcasses be wasted in the
wilderness.
34 After the number of the days
in which ye searched the land,
even forty days, each day for a
year, shall ye bear your iniquities,
even forty years, and ye shall
know my breach of promise.
35 I the Lord have said, I will
surely do it unto all this evil con-
gregation, that are gathered to-
gether against me : in this wilder-
ness they shall be consumed, and
there they shall die.
36 And the men which Moses
sent to search the land, who re-
turned, and made all the congre-
gation to murmur against him,
by bringing up a slander upon
the land,
37 Even those men that did
bring up the evil report upon the
land, died by the plague before
the Lord.
38 But Joshua the son of Niin,
and Caleb the son of Jephunneh,
which were of the men that went
to search the laud, lived still.
So not one of the 600,000 men
that left Egypt entered the prom-
ised land but Caleb and Joshua
(Ex. 12. 37, p. 158). Even Moses,
meek Moses (Nu. 12. 3. p. 356), was
not permitted to pass over Jor-
dan. See De. 31. 2 and 32, 48-52, p.
166, 167.
Thousands of the children of
Israel were slain outright by the
Lord for their disobedience dvu--
ing their forty years wandering in
the wilderness and in the open
country, see Ex. 32. 28, p. 47; Le.
10. p. 402; Nu. 16. 31-35, 49, and 25.
4, 5, 9, and 11. 1-3, p. 355, 356, 402 ; and
21. 6-9, p. 262. Independent of that
great slaughter of people by the
Lord, he also caused them to
tight several battles during that
forty years, and it appears that
the children of Israel were well
armed for lighting ; and how did
that come if they were kept down
as slaves in Egypt? or did the
Lord give them power to borrow
swords, as he did to borrow jew-
elry from the Egyptians? see Ex.
5, p. 30, and 1. 7-14, p. 1.50, and 3, 21,
22, and 12. 35, 36, p. 151, 158. The
first battle fought after leaving
Egypt was the battle of Riphi-
dim, "Hands up," Ex. 17. p. 404;
the second, the battle with the
kings of Sihon and Og, Nu. 21, p.
144; the third, the battle with
the Midianites, Nu. 31, p. 405. In
all these battles the Israelites
were victorious, because the Lord
was with them ; but in the last
battle fought in the wilderness
they were not. This one was
foughtwithout authority from the
Lord, fought after they brought
in their false report about the
promised land. See the following
verses:—
Nu. 14 — 40 And they rose up early
in the morning, and gat them up
into the top of the mountain, say-
ing, Lo, we be here, and will go
up unto the place which the
Lord hath promised : for we have
sinned.
41 And Moses said. Wherefore
now do ye transgress the com-
mandment of the Lord? but it
shall not prosper.
42 Go not up, for the Lord is
not among you; that ye be not
smitten before your enemies.
43 For the Anialekites and the
Canaanites are there before you,
and ye shall fall by the sword:
because ye are turned away from
the Lord, therefore the Lord will
not be with you.
44 But they presumed to go up
unto the hilltop: nevertheless the
ark of the covenant of the Lord,
and Moses, departed not out of
the camp.
329
45 Then the Amalekites came
down, and the Canaanites which
dwelt iu that hill, and smote
them, and discomiited them,
even unto Hormah.
This was in the second year
after leaving Egypt, and about
thirty-eight years before they
retui-ned to their old country,
the promised land, after a so-
journ of 430 years iu Egypt. Dur-
ing their forty years wandering
the Lord gave unto Moses all he
laws, both general and religious,
whereby the children of Israel
were to be governed. (For those
who may wish to go more fully
into this matter, see Ex. 16 to
Nu. 36: this covers a space of
thirty-nine years and six months,
and the book of Deuteronomy the
last six months of the forty years
wandering in the wilderness.)
The first laws were the Ten Com-
mandments, Ex. 19 and 20, p. 4.5.
46. Second, laws in regard to buy-
ing and selling slaves, p. 441, etc.

etc. After the death of Moses
(De. 31 and 34, p. I6t>, 167) Joshua
led the children of Israel into the
promised land (1451 B.C., p. 168,
169); and then began a series of
battles to kill off all the people,
the inhabitants of that land
(Jos. 2, p. 405 to Ju. 1.5, p. 412),
so that the Israelites could occupy
it themselves. This they could do
not entirely; but they shwghtered
untold thousandsof men, women.
and children, and took possession
of their houses, cattle, and lands,
enough to make homes for them-
selves. See Jos. 12, p. 144, and the
entire book of Joshua and first
chapter of the book of Judges.
Now all this murderous slaughter
of a people created in the image
of their maker, the Bible tells us,
was done because they were
heathens. " And yet it is not in
man that walketh to direct his
steps," Je. 10. 2;5, p. 196. "For the
preparation of the heart in man,
and the answer of the tongue is
from the Lord," Pro. 16. 1, p. 191. " I
make peace and create evil; I
the Lord do all these things," Is.
45. 7, p. 105. So the poor heathen
was slaughtered, without mercy
or pity, slaughtered by the will
and lirection of God himself for
a people whose honour, honesty,
and virtue was no better than
those unfortunate mortals whom
Joshua and his idolatrous, plun-
dering horde so barbarously mur-
dered; and after all this inhuman
slaughter of a people simply de-
feuding their own homes, then
the children of Israel, God's
chosen people (p. 234), turned
against the God that chose theiri.
and disobeyed him, as they had
done many, many times before,
disobeyed the God who had
chosen them to be an example
and a model for all creation to
pattern after, and said to them,
" In tbee shall all families of the
earth be blessed," Ge. 12. 3, p,
148, " and in thy seed shall all the
nation of the earth be blessed,"
Ge. 22. 18, p. 263. Their actions so
angered the Lord that he would
not help them, or assist them in
any way, not even with the
hornet (Ex. 23, De. 7; Jos. 24, p.
132), to drive out or miu'der any
more of the heathens, the un-
fortunate people of the land, but
left them to be " Pricks in your
eves, and thorns in your sides,"
Nu. 33. 55, p. 168; Ju. 2. 1-5, p.
492, and Ju. 2. 14, 15, p. 125.
Ju. 2—20 And the anger of the
Lord was liot against Israel ; and
he said, Because that this people
hath trangressed my covenant
which I commanded their fathers,
and have not hearkened unto my
voice ;
330
21 I also will not henceforth
drive out any from before them
of the nations which Joshua left
when he died :
22 That through them I may
prove Israel, whether they will
keep the way of the Lord to walk
therein, as their fathers did keep
it, or not.
23 Therefore the Lord left those
nations, without driving them out
hastily; neither delivered he
them mto the hand of Joshua.
Ju. 3—1 Now these are the na-
tions which the Lord left, to
prove Israel by them, even as
many of Israel as had not known
all the wars of Canaan ;
2 Only that the generations of
the children of Israel might know
to teach them war, at the least
such as before knew nothing
thereof;
3 Namely, five lords of the Phi-
listines, and all the Canaanites,
and the Sidonians.and the Hivites
that dwelt in mount Lebanon,
from mount Baal-hermon unto
the entering in of Haniath.
4 And they were to prove Israel
by them, to know whether they
would hearken unto the com-
mandments of the Lord, which
he commanded their fathers by
the hand of Moses.
6 And they took their daughters
to be their wives, and gave their
daughters to their sous.and served
their gods.
7 And the children of Israel did
evil in the sight of the Lord, and
forgat the Lord their God, and
served Baalim and the groves.
See also De. 7. 1-8 and 20. 10-18.
And in consequence the Lord sold
them into the hands of their ene-
mies, and in time delivered them,
and again and again sold them
to their enemies, and again and
again delivered them (Ju. 3 and 4,
p. 408, etc.), and thus they were in
trouble or at war, with two or
tliree exceptions, from the time
they came out of Egypt, 1491 B.C.,
to the days of Saul, 1096 B.C. Dur-
ing all these long years of trouble
and war, the children of Israel
were governed by Moses, Joshua,
and the Judges, except for three
years when A himelech by his own
appointment was king of Israel,
about two hundred years before
the days of Saul, Ju. 9, p. 410.
Saul was the first king of Israel
hy the Lord's appointment, and
he reigned forty years. He was
chosen by the Lord, in his great
wisdom and judgment, as the
best man in all Israel to rule his
chosen people.
1 Sa. &— 2 And Saul was a choice ■'
young man, and there was not
among the children of Israel a "
goodlier person than he: from his
shoulders and upward he was
higher than any of the people.
15 Now the Lord had told Sam-
uel in his ear a day before Saul
came, saying,
16 lo morrow about this time I
will send thee a man out of the
land of Benjamin, and thou shalt
anoint him to be captain over my .
people Israel.
17 And when Samuel saw Saul, -
the Lord said unto him. Behold
the man whom I spake to thee of!
this same shall reign over my
people.
1 Sa. 10—1 Then Samuel took a
vial of oil, and poured it upon his
head, and kissed him, and said. Is
it not because the Lord hatli
anointed thee to be captain over
his inheritance?
So Saul became king of Israel,
not by his own request ; for he had
no thought, not even the least
idea, that he would be chosen
king. Yet he was, and an unfor-
tunate thing it was for poor Saul ;
for he made a fatal mistake after
he was anointed king, and in con-
sequence the Lord rejected him
and chose David a man, after; his
own heart (l Sa. 13. 8-14, p. 417).
the man who, ten years after the
Lord had chosen him, robbed
Uriah of his wife and had him put
to death. See David, Bath-Sheba,
and Uriah, p.424, and the following
lines: —
2 Sa. 12—31 And David brought
forth the people, and put them
under saws, and under harrows of
iron, and under axes of iron, and
made them pass through the
brickkiln, p. 266.
And Saul also made a second
mistake, and then his doom was
sealed. "And the Lord repented
that he had made Saul King over
Israel." 1 Sa. 15. 9-35. p. 418, 419.
331
"And the spirit of the Lord de-
parted from Saul, and an evil
spirit from the Lord troubled
him," 1 Sa. 16. 14, p. 251; and this
same evil spirit guided Saul in
all his actions after the slaughter
of the Amalekites, 1 Sa. 15, p. 418.
So no matter what Saul did, it
was not Saul that did it, it was
the evil spirit from the Lord ; and
thus the Lord, through that evil
spirit, in his desire for revenge on
the man he had chosen to rule
his people Israel (the man who
made two humane and uninten-
tional mistakes before the Lord's
evil spirit controlled him), con-
tinuecf to afflict him until the
day of his death. See the last
battle of the unfortunate King
Saul, p. 421. The histories of the
world without any exception, in-
cluding the Old Bible or Jewish
History, tells us of no other man
in authority who persecuted an-
other man in authority to the
same extent that the Lord perse-
cuted Saul ; and yet the decreas-
ing numbers of the so-called Chris-
tiansof this world are still praying
to that Lord who so mercilessly
and inhumanly persecuted the
unfortunate King Saul. David,
who reigned forty years (2 Ki. 2.
11, p. 365), David, "The sweet
Psalmist of Israel" (2 Sa. 23. 1, p.
402), David, "The man after the
Lord's own heart" (1 Sa. 13. 14, p.
417), the second king of Israel by
tlie Lord's appointment (1 Sa. 16
and 17 and 1 Chr. 2, p. 43), was
chosen king seven years before
the death of King Saul in the
year 1063 b.c. In the same year
after he was made king he slew
Goliath, see 1 Sa. 17, p. 419, and
Chronology of the Old Bible, p.
537. For other history in regard
to King David, see p. 359-367 and
419-429.
During the reign of Saul and
David (80 years) the children of Is-
rael were almost continually at
war or in trouble of some kind,
but in the forty year reign of Sol-
omon (1 Ki. 11. 42, p. 372), the son
of David, who was the third king
of Israel by the Lord's appoint-
ment, thei'e was peace ni the
land, as the Lord said there should
be, 1 Ch. 22. 9, p. 366; 1 Ki. 4. 25, p.
298.
King Solomon himself, Solo-
mon named by the Lord (2 Sa. 12.
24, 1 Chr. 22. 9, p. 427), led a peace-
ful, but an extravagant, lascivi-
ous life, with his one thousand
wives and concubines, until a few
years before his death ; and then
'His wives turned away his heart
from the Lord," 1 Ki. 11. 3, 4, p. 372.
I Ki. 11—9 And the Lord was
angry with Solomon, because his
heart was turned from the Lord
God of Israel, which had appeared
unto him twice, l Ki. 3.5-15, 9. 2-9,
and 2 Chr. 1, p. 307.
II Wherefore the Lord said un-
to Solomon. Forasmuch as this
is done of thee, and thou hast
not kept my covenant and my
statutes, which I have command-
ed thee, I will surely rend the
kingdom from thee, and will give
it to thy servant.
12 Notwithstanding, in thy days
I will not do it for David thy
father's sake: but I will rend it
out of the hand of thy sou.
13 Howbeit I will not rend away
all the kingdom; but will give
one tribe to thy son for David my
servant's sake, and for Jerusa-
lem's sake which I have cliosen.
14 And the Lord stirred up an
adversary unto Solomon, Hadad
the Edomite: he was of the king's
seed in Edom.
23 And God stirred him up an-
other adversary, Rezon the son of
Eliadah, which fled from his lord
Hadadezer king of Zobah.
26 And Jeroboam the son of
Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zereda,
Solomon's servant, whose moth-
er's name was Zeruah, a widow
woman, even he lifted up his
hand against the king.
40 Solomon sought therefore to
kill Jeroboam. And Jeroboam
arose, and fled into Egypt, unto
Shishak king of Egypt, and was in
Egypt until the death of Solomon.
The peace in the land during
Solomon's reign does not seem to
be verified in the following lines,
—words spoken by Solomon's sub-
jects to his son Rehoboam, and
Kehoboam's answer:—
1 Ki. 12 — 1 Thy father made our
yoke grievous: now therefore
make thou the grievous service
of thy father, and his heavy yoke
which he put upon us, lighter, and
we will serve thee.
332
14 And king Rehoboam spake
to them after the counsel of the
young men, saying My father
made your yoke heavy, a,nd I will
add to your yoke mj father also
chastised you with whips but I
will chastise you with scorpions.
From this, one would judge that
there was not much happiness
among Solomon's people, even
though the nation was at peace
with other nations. For a contin-
uation of history in regard to this
all wise king, see 2 Chr. l and 9,
etc., p. 307, 308, and p. 364-372, and
the supposed writings of Solomon,
SS. 1. to SS. 8, p. 171-174 ; and Ec. 2
to Ec. 12, p. 192-195. It is also
claimed that Solomon wrote the
book of Proverbs.
Pro. 1—1 The Proverbs of Solo-
mon the son of David, king of Is-
rael;
2 To know wisdom and instruc-
tion ; to perceive the words of un-
derstanding ;
3 To receive the instruction of
wisdom, justice, and judgment,
and equity;
4 To give subtilty to the simple,
to the young man knowledge and
discretion.
5 A wise man will hear, and will
increase learning; and a man of
understanding shall attain unto
wise counsels:
6 To understand a proverb, and
the interpretation ; tlie words of
the wise, and their dark saying.
7 The fear of the Lokd is the
beginningof knowledge: but fools
despise wisdom and instruction.
After the death of Solomon (976
B.C., 1 Ki. 11. 43, p. 372) the king-
dom of Israel was divided into
two parts, as the Lord said it
should be; and thus began the
downfall of the great Jewish na-
tion, divided, cut asunder, split
apart, and started on the down-
ward road to ruin, all on accoiint
of Solomon. And yet they might
have been saved had it not
been for the corrupt Priests and
Prophets (Je. 23. 22, p. 227, and p.
226-230). Andisit any wonder that
tliat house, divided against itself
by the Lord for its quarrelsome,
tyrannical nature and licentious
corruption, did fall.
In 388 years after the kingdom
was divided, the two divided na-
tion passed out of existence as
independent nations and into the
hand of their enemies. See 2 Ki.
15, 18, and 21, p. 466; and 2 Ki. 25, p.
34, 35. When the kingdom of Is-
rael was divided, the tribes of Ju-
dah and Benjamin made Reho-
boam, sou of Solomon, of the tribe
of Judah, their king, and he was
known as the king of Judah and
dweL in Jerusalem; and the other
ten tribes made Jeroboam, son of
Nebat. their king, and he was
known as the king of Israel and
dwelt in Shechem, some years
after the kings of Israel dwelt in
Samaria, as will be seen by the
following lines. Rehoboam at-
tempted to restore the kingdom,
but m this he was not successful.
1 Ki. 12—21 And when Rehoboam
was come to Jerusalem, he as-
sembled all the house of Judah,
with the tribe of Benjamin, a
hundred and fourscore thousand
chosen men, which were warriors,
to fight against the house of Is-
rael, to brmg the kingdom again
to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.
22 But the word of God came
unto Shemaiah the man of God,
saying,
23 Speak unto Rehoboam, the
sonof Solomon, kingof Judah, and
unto all the house of Judah and
Benjamin, and to the remnant of
the people, saying,
24 Ihussaith the Lord, Ye shall
not go up, nor fight against your
brethren the children of Israel:
return every man to his house;
for this thuig is from me. They
hearkened therefore to the word
of the Lord, and returned, accord-
ing to the word of the Lord.
25 Then Jeroboam built She-
chem in mount Ephraim, and
dwelt therein.
26 And Jeroboam said in his
heart. Now shall the kingdom re-
turn to the house of David :
27 If this people go up to do sac-
rifice in the house of the Lord at
Jerusalem, then shall the heart of
this people turn again unto their
lord, even unto Rehoboam king
of Judah, and they shall kill me,
and go again to Rehoboam king
of Judah.

28 Whereupon the king took
counsel, and made two calves of
gold, and said unto them. It is too
much for you to go up to Jerusa-
lem: behold thv gods, O Israel,
which brought thee up out of the
land of Egypt.
29 And he set the one in Beth-el,
and the other put he in Dan.
30 And this tiling became a sin:
for th people went to worship be-
fore the one, even unto Dan.
31 And he made a house of high
places, and made priests of the
lowest of the people which were
not of the sons of Levi.
32 And Jeroboam ordained a
feast in the eighth month on the
fifteenth day of the month, like
unto the feast that is in Judah,
and he offered upon the altar. So
did he in Beth-el, sacriticiiig unto
the calves that he had made and
he placed in Beth-el the priests
of the high places which he had
made.
There were nineteen kings and
one queen of Judah; and they
reigned for 388 years, from the
death of Solomon, when the king-
dom was divided in 976 B.C., until
their fall in 588 B.C. Then Jerusa-
lem was taken for the second time
and nearly destroyed by Nebu-
chaduezzer, kmg of Babylon. See
2 Ki. 25, p. 34. It was first taken
eleven years before this, and many
of the people carried away cap-
tive. See 2 Ki. 24, p. 4CG. And there
were nineteen kmgsof Israel who
reigned for 255years,from the days
of Solomon, 976 B.C., to the daysof
their captivity, 721 B.C., 2 Ki. 15.

old Bible, p. 537. From tlie book
of Malachi, the last book of the
old Bible, supposed to have been
written in the year 420 B.C., to the
birth of Jesus Christ, the sou of
Mary, there is no Bible history of
the Jews. As to the new Bible or
New Testament history of the
Jews from the birth of Christ, and
including the life and works of
Jesus Christ, from the books of
Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John,
each one of these books contains
an accovmt of the life of Christ
supposed to have been written by
the man whose name it bears.
Yet no one of them record in full
all the works ascribed to Christ ;
but, on the pages mentioned be-
low, you will find a collection of
all the important events of his
life. See p. 496 and Mat. 3, Lu. 3.
p. 27. 28. and p. 445-536.
From the birth of Christ to the
writing of the book of Revela-
tions by St. John there is a space
of about 96 years, and that brings
to a close the Bible history of the
Hebrew, Israelite, or Jew, from the
year 1921 B.C. to a.d. 96.

BIBLE SELECTIONS.
Abraham's journey into Egypt, where he denied his wife, and into
the land of Philistines unto King Ataimelech, where he again de-
nied his wife ; and Isaac's sojom-n in the land of the Philistines with
King Abimelech. where he also denied his wife, Ge. 12, 20, and 36
following.
Ge. 12—10 And there was a fam-
ine in the land: and Abram went
down into Egypt to sojourn there ;
for the famine was grievous in the
land.
11 And it came to pass, when he
was come near to enter into
Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his
wife, Behold, now, I know that
thou art a fair woman to look
upon:
12 Therefore it shall come to
pass, when the Egyptians shall see
thee, that they shall say. This is
his wife: and they will kill me,
but they will save thee alive.
13 Say, I pray thee, thou art my
sister: that it may be well with
me for thy sake; and my soul
shall live because of thee.
14 And it came to pass, that,
when Abram was come into
Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the
woman that she "was very fair.
15 The princes also of Pharaoh
saw her, and commended her be-
fore Pharaoh: and the woman
was taken into Pharaoh's house.
16 And he entreated .\bram well
for her sake: and he had sheep,
and oxen, and he asses, and men-
servants, and maidservants, and
she asses, and camels.
17 And the Lord plagued Pha-
raoh and his house with great
plagues, because of Sarai, Abram's
wife.
18 And Pharaoh called Abram,
and said. What is this that thou
has done unto me? why didst
thou not tell me that she vt as thy
wife?
19 Why saidst thou. She is my
sister? so I might have taken her
tome to wife: now therefore be-
hold thy wife, take her, and go
thy way.
20 And Pharaoh commanded his
men concerning him: and they
sent him away, and his wife, and
all that he had.
Ge. 20—1 Ajid Abraham jour-
neyed from thence toward the
south coimtry, and dwelt between
Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned
in Gerar.
2 And Abraham said of Sarah
his wife. She is my sister: and
Abimelech king of Gerar sent,
and took Sarah.
3 But God came to Abimelech
in a dream by night, and said to
him. Behold, thou art but a dead
man, for the woman which thou
hast taken; for she is a man's
wife.
4 But Abimelech had not come
near her: and he said. Lord, wilt
thou slay also a righteous nation ?
5 Said he not mito me. She is
my sister? and she, even she her-
.self .said. He is my brother: in
the integrity of my heart and
innocency of my hands have I
done this.
6 And God said unto him in a
dream, Yea, I know that thou
didst this in the integrity of thy
heart ; for I also withheld thee
from .sinning against me: there-
fore suffered I thee not to touch
her.
7 Now therefore restore the man
his wife ; for he is a prophet, and
he shall pray for thee, and thou
shalt live: and if thou restore her
not, know thou that thou shalt
surely die, thou, and all that are
thine.
8 Therefore Abimelech rose
early in the morning, and called
all his servants, and told all these
things in their ears: and the men
were sore afraid.
9 Then Abimelech called Abra-
ham, and .said unto him. What
hast thou done unto us? and what
have offended thee, that thou
hast bi'ought on me and on my
kingdom a great sin? thou hast
done deeds unto me that ought
not to be done.
11 And Abraham said. Because
I thought, Surely the fear of God
is not m this place ; and they will
slay me for my wife's sake.
12 And yet indeed she is my
sister ; she is the daughter of my
father, but not the daughter of
my mother; and she became my
wife.
13 And it came to pass, when
335
God caused me to wander from
my father's house, that I said uuto
her, This is thy kindness which
thou shalt shew uuto me ; at every
place whither we shall come, say
of me. He is my brotlier.
14 And Abimelech took slieep,
and oxeu, and menservauts, and
womenservants, and gave them
unto Abraham, and restored him
Sarah his wife.
15 And Abimelech said. Behold,
my laud is before thee: dwell
where it pleaseth thee.
16 And uuto Sarah he said, Be-
hold, I have given thy brother a
thousand pieces of silver: behold,
he is to thee a covering of the
eyes, unto all that are with thee,
and with all other: thus she was
reproved.
17 So Abraham prayed unto
God: and God healed Abimelech,
and his wife, and his maidserv-
ants; and they bare children.
18 For the Lord had fast closed
up all the wombs of the house
of Abimelech, because of Sarah,
Abraham's wife.
Birth of Ishmael, the son of
Abraham and Hagar.
Birth of Isaac, the son of Abra-
ham and Sarah. See also Gal. 4.
22-31.
Ge. 16—1 Now Sarai, Abram's
wife, bare him no children: and
she had a handmaid, an Egyptian,
wliose name was Hagar.
2 And Sarai said vmto Abram,
Behold now, the Lord hath re-
strained me from bearing: I pray
thee, go in unto mj^ maid ; it may
be that I may obtain children by
her. And Abram hearkened to
the voice of Sarai.
3 And Sarai, Abram's wife, took
Hagar her maid the Egyptian,
after Abram had dwelt ten years
in the land of Canaan, and gave
her to her husband Abram to be
his wife.
4 IT And he went in unto Hagar,
and she conceived : and when she
saw that she had conceived, her
mistress was despised in her eyes.
5 And Sarai said unto Abram,
My wrong be upon thee: I have
given my maid into thy bosom ;
and when she saw that she had
conceived, I was despised in her
eyes: the Lord judge between
me and thee.
6 But Abram said unto Sarai,
Behold, thy maid is in thy hand :
do to her as it pleaseth thee. And
when Sarai dealt hardly with
her, she tied from her face.
7 And the angel of the Lord
found her by a fountain of water
in the wilderness, by the fountain
in the way to Shur.
8 And he said, Hagar. Sarai's
maid, whence camest thou? and
whither wilt thou go? And she
said, I flee from the face of my
mistress Sarai.
9 And the angel of the Lord
said luito her, Retui'u to thy mis-
tress, and submit thyself under
her hands.
10 And the angel of the Lord
said unto her. I will multiply thy
seed exceedingly, that it shall
not be numbered for multitude.
11 And the angel of the Lord
said unto her, Behold, thou art
with child, and shalt bear a son,
and shalt call his name Ishmael;
because the Lord hath heard thy
affliction.
12 And he will be a wild man;
hishandwillbeagainsteveryman,
and every man's hand against
him: and he shall dwell m the
presence of all his brethren.
15 And Hagar bare Abram a son :
and Abram called his son's name,
which Hagar bare, Ishmael.
16 And Abram was fourscore
and six years old, when Hagar
bare Ishmael to Abram.
Ge. 17—20 And as for Ishmael, I
have heard thee: Behold, I have
blessed him, and will make him
fruitful, and will multiply him
exceedingly • twelve princes shall
he beget, and 1 will make him a
great nation.
21 But my covenant will I estab-
lish with Isaac, which Sarah shall
bear unto thee at this set time in
the next year.
Ge. 21—1 And the Lord visited
Sarah as he had said, and did
unto Sarah as he had spoken.
2 For Sarah conceived, and bare
Abraham a son in his old age, at
the set time of which God had
spoken to him.
3 And Abraham called the
name of his son that was born
unto him, whom Sarah bare to
him, Isaac. Vrs. 4, 5, p. 52.
336
6 And Sarah said, God hath
made me to latigh, so that all
that hear will laugh with me.
7 Andshesaid. Who would have
said unto Abraham, that Sarah
should have given children suck?
for I have borne him a son in his
old age.
8 And the child grew, and was
weaned: and Abraham made a
great feast the same day that
Isaac was weaned.
9 And Sarah saw the son of
Hagar the Egyptian, which she
had borne unto Abraham, mock-
ing.
10 Wherefore she said unto
Abraham, Cast out this bond-
woman and her son: for the son
of this bondwoman shall not be
heir with my son, even with
Isaac.
11 And the thing was very grriev-
ous in Abraham s sight because
of his son.
12 And God said unto Abra-
ham, Let it not be grievous in thy
sight because of the lad, and be-
cause of thy bondwoman ; in all
that Sarah hath said unto thee,
hearken unto her voice: for in
Isaac shall thy .seed be called.
13 And also of the son of the
bondwoman will I make a nation,
because he is thy seed.
14 And Abraham rose up early
in the morning, and took bread,
and a bottle of water, and gave it
unto Hagar, putting it on her
slioulder, and the child, and sent
her away: and she departed, and
wandered in the wilderness of
Beer-sheba.
1,5 And the water was spent in
the bottle, and .she cast the child
under one of the shrubs.
16 And she went, and sat her
down over again.st him a good
way off, as it were a bowshot:
for she said. Let me not see the
death of the child. And she sat
over against him, and lifted up
her voice, and wept.
17 And God heard the voice of
the lad; and the angel of God
called to Hagar out of heaven,
and said unto her, What aileth
thee, Hagar? fear not; for God
hath heard the voice of the lad
where he is.
18 Arise, lift up the lad, and
hold him in thine hand ; for I
will make him a great nation.
19 And God opened her eyes,
and she saw a well of water ; and
she went, and tilled the bottle
with water, and gave the lad
drink.
20 And God was with the lad;
and he grew, and dwelt in the
wilderness, and became an archer.
21 And he dwelt in the wilder-
ness of Paran: and his mother
took him a wife out of the land
of Egypt.
Ge.25— 17 And these are the years
of the life of Ishmael, a hun-
dred and thirty and seven years:
and he gave up the ghost and
died, and was gathered unto his
people.
Ge. 26—1 And there was a famine
in theland, besidesthelirst famine
that was in the days of Abraham.
And Isaac went unto Abimelech
king of the Philistines imto Gerar.
2 And the Lord appeared unto
him, and said. Go not down into
Egypt ; dwell in the land which I
shall tell thee of. Vrs. 3-5, p. 263.
6 And Isaac dwelt in Gerar.
7 And the men of the place asked
him of his wife; and he said. She
is my sister: for he feared to say,
She IS my wife; lest, said he, the
men of the place should kill me
for Rebekah ; because she was fair
to look upon.
8 And it came to pass, when he
had been there along time, that
Abimelech king of the Philistines
looked out at a window, and saw,
and, behold, Isaac was sporting
with Rebekah his wife.
9 And Abimelech called Isaac,
and said. Behold, of a surety she
is thy wife: and how .saidst thou.
She IS my sister? And Isaac saia
unto him, Because I said, Lest I
die for her.
10 And Abimelech said, What
is this thou hast done unto us?
one of the people might lightly
have lain with thy wife, and thou
shouldest have brought guilti-
ness upon us.
11 And Abimelech charged all
his people, saying. He that touch-
eth this man or his wife shall
surely be put to death.
12 Then Isaac sowed in that
land, and received in the same
Eear a hundredfold: and the
ORD blessed him.
13 And the man waxed great,
and went forward, and grew until
he became very great:
14 For he had possession of flocks.
337
aud possession of herds, and great
store of servants: and the Philis-
tines envied him.
REBEKAH AT THE WELL.
Marriage of Isaac and Rebekah.
Ge. 24 — 2 And Abraham said un-
to his eldest servant of his liouse,
that ruled over all that he had.
Put, I pray thee, thy hand under
my thigh:
3 And I will make thee swear by
the Lord, the God of heaven, and
the God of the eartli, that thou
shalt not take a wife unto my son
of the daughters of the Canaanites,
among whom I dwell:
4 But thou shalt go vmto my
country, and to my kindred, and
take a wife unto my son Isaac.
9 And the servant put his hand
under the thigh of Abraham his
master, and sware to him concern-
ing that matter.
10 And the servant took ten
camels of the camels of his master,
and departed ; for all the goods of
his master were in his hand : and
he arose, and went to Mesopota-
mia, unto the city of Nahor.
11 And he made his camels to
kneel down without the city by a
well of water at the time of the
evening, even the time that wom-
en go out to draw water.
15 And, behold, Rebekah came
out, who was born to Bethuel, son
of Milcali, the wife of Nahor,
Abraham 's'brother, with her pitch-
er upon her shoulder.
16 And the dam.sel was very fair
to look upon, a virgin, neither had
any man Known her: and she went
down to the well, and filled her
pitcher, and came up.
17 And the servant ran to meet
her, and said. Let me, I pray thee,
drink a little water of thy pitcher.
18 And she said. Drink, my lord :
and she hasted, and let down her
pitcher upon her hand, and gave
him drink.
19 And when she had done giv-
ing him drink, she said, I will
draw water for thy camels also,
until they have done drinking.
20 And she hasted, and emptied
her pitcher into the trough, and
ran again unto the well to draw
water, and drew for all his camels.
22 And it came to pass, as the
camels had done drinking, that
the man took a golden earring of
half a shekel weight, and two
bracelets for her Yiands of ten
sliekels weight of gold.
'28 And the damsel ran, and told
them of her mother's house these
things.
29 And Rebebah had a brother,
and his name was Laban: and
Laban ran out unto the man, unto
the well.
30 And it came to pass, when he
saw the earring, and bracelets
upon his sister's hands, and when
he heard the words of Rebekah
his sister, saying. Thus spake the
man unto me, tliat he came imto
the man ; and, behold, he stood
by the camels at the well^
31 And he said. Come m, thou
blessed of tlie Lord; wherefore
standest thou without? for I have
prepared the house, and room for
the camels.
32 Aud the man came into the
house : and he ungirded his cam-
els, and gave straw and proven-
der for the camels, and water to
wash his feet, and the men's feet
that were with him.
33 And there was set meat be-
fore him to eat: but he said, I
will not eat, mitil I have told mine
errand. And he said, Speak on.
34 And he said, I am Abraham's
servant.
37 And my master made me
swear, saying. Thou shalt not
take a wife to my son of the
daughters of the Canaanites, in
whose land I dwell:
38 But thou shalt go unto my
father's house, and to my kindred,
aud take a wife unto my son.
50 Then Laban and Bethuel an-
swered and said, The thing pro-
ceedeth from the Lord: we can-
not speak unto thee bad or good.
51 Behold, Rebekah is before
thee ; take her, and go, and let her
be thy master's soirs wife, as the
Lord hath spoken.
53 And the servant brought
forth jewels of silver, and jewels
of gold, and raiment, and gave
them to Rebekah: he gave also to
her brother and to her mother
precious things.
54 And they did eat aud drink,
he and the men that were with
him, and tarried all night; and
they rose up in the morning, and
he said, Send me away unto my
master.
338
55 And her brother and her
mother said, Let the damsel abide
with us a few days, at the least
ten ; after that she shall go.
56 And he said unto them, Hin-
der me not, seeing the Lord hath
prospered my way ; send me away
that I may go to my master.
57 And they said,We will call the
damsel, and inquire at her mouth.
58 And they called Rebekah,and
said unto her, Wilt thoii go with
this man? And she said, I will go.
59 And they sent away Rebekah
their sister, and her nurse^and
Abraham's servant, and his men.
60 And they blessed Rebekah,
and said unto her. Thou art our
sister ; be tliou the mother of thou-
sands of millions, and let thy seed
possess the gate of those which
liate them.
61 And Rebekah arose, and her
damsels, and they rode upon the
camels, and followed the man:
and the sei'vant took Rebekah,
and went his way,
62 And Isaac came from the way
of the well Lahai-roi; for he
dwelt in the south country.
63 And Isaac went oiit to medi-
tate in the field at the eventide :
and he lifted up his eyes, and saw,
and, behold, the camels were
coming.
64 And Rebekah lifted up her
eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she
lighted off the camel.
65 For she had said imto the
servant. What man is this that
walketh in the field to meet us?
And the servant had said. It is
my master: therefore she took a
vail, and covered herself.
66 And the servant told Isaac all
things that he had done.
67 And Isaac brought her into
his mother Sarah's tent, and Re-
bekah became his wife; and he
loved her: and Isaac was com-
forted after his mother's death.
BIRTH OF ESAU AND JACOB.
"Yet I loved Jacob and I hated
Esau,"— a specimen of God's in-
tense love and bitter hatred.
JEsau sold his birthright.
Jacob, by his mother's advice,
deceived his father and obtained
his brother Esau's blessing. Yet
Isaac blessed Esau with a bless-
ing equally as good as Jacob's.
Ge. 25—20 And Isaac was forty
years old when he took Rebekah
to wife, the daughter of Bethuel
the Syrian of Fadan-aram, the
sister to Laban the Syrian.
21 And Isaac entreated the Lord
for his wife, because she was bar-
ren : and the Lord was entreated
of him, and Rebekah his wife con-
ceived.
22 And the children struggled
together within her; and she said.
If it be so, why am I thus? And
she went to inquire of the Lord.
23 And the Lord said unto her.
Two nations are in thy womb,
and two manner of people shall be
separated from thy bowels; and
the one people shall be stronger
than the other people; and the
elder shall serve the younger.
(Ro. 9-10 And when Rebecca al-
so had conceived by one, even by
our father Isaac,
11 (For the children being not
yet bom, neither having done any
good or evil, that the purpose of
God according to election might
stand, not of works, but of him
that calleth ;)
12 It was said unto her, The el-
der shall serve the younger.
13 As it is written, Jacob have I
loved, but Esau have I hated.
Mai. 1—1 The hnrden of the
word of the Lord to Israel by
Malachi.
2 I have loved you, saith the
Lord. Yet ye say. Wherein hast
thou loved us? Was not Esau Ja-
cob's brother? saith the Lord:
yet I loved Jacob,
3 And I hated Esau, and laid his
mountains and his heritage waste
for the dragons of the wilder-
ness.)
24 And when her days to be de-
livei-ed were fulfilled, behold,
there were twuis in her womb.
25 And the first came out red,
all over like a hau-y garment;
and they called his name Esau.
26 And after that came his
brother out, and his hand t-ook
hold on Esau's heel ; and his name
was called Jacob: and Isaac was
tlireescore years old when she
bare them.
(Ho. 12—3 He took his brother
by the heel in the womb, and by
his strength he had power with
God:
4 Yea, he had power over the
angel, and prevailed; he wept,
339
and made supplication unto him:
he found him in Beth-el, and there
he spake with us.)
27 And the boys grew: and Esau
was a cunning hunter, a man of
the field; and Jacob was a plain
man, dwelling in tents.
28 And Isaac loved Esau, be-
cause he did eat of his venison:
but Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 1[ And Jacob sold pottage: and
Esau came from the field, and he
was faint :
30 And Esau said to Jacob, Feed
me, I pray thee, with that same
red pottage ; fori am faint : there-
fore was his name called Edom.
31 And Jacob said, Sell me this
day thy birthright.
32 And Esau said. Behold, I am
at the point to die: and what
profit shall this birthright do to
me?
33 And Jacob said. Swear to me
this day ; and he sware vmto him :
and he sold his bu-thright imto
Jacob.
34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread
and pottage of Tentiles; and he
did eat and drmk, and rose up,
and went his way. Thus Esau
despised his birthright.
(He. 12—16 Lest there be any for-
nicator, or profane per.son, as Esau,
who for one morsel of meat sold
his birthright.
17 For ye know how that after-
ward, when he would have inher-
ited the blessing, he was rejected :
for he found no place of repent-
ance, though besought it careful-
ly with tears.
Esau was not rejected, Jacob by
fraud obtained the blessing. See
the following chapter.)
Ge. 27—1 And it came to pass,
that when Isaac was old, and his
eyes were dim, so that he could
not see, he called Esau his eldest
son, and said unto him. My son :
and he said unto him, Behold
here am I.
2 And he said. Behold now, I am
old, I know not the day of my
death :
3 Now therefore take, 1 pray
thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and
thy bow, and go out to the field,
and take me some venison ;
4 And make me savoury meat,
such as I love, and bring it to me,
that I may eat; that my soul may
bless thee before I die.
5 And Rebekah heard when
Isaac spake to Esau his sou. And
Esau went to the held to hunt for
venison, and to bring it.
6 And Rebekah spake unto
Jacob her son, saying. Behold, I
beard thy father speak unto Esau
thy brother, saying,
7 Bring me venison, and make
me savom-y meat, that I may eat,
and bless thee before the Lord
before my death.
8 Now thei-efore, my son, obey
my voice according to that whic^
I command thee.
9 Go now to the flock, and fetch
me from thence two good kids of
the goats; and I will make them
savoury meat for thy father, such
as he loveth:
10 And thou shalt bring it to thy
father, that he may eat, and that
he mayblesstbee before his death.
11 And Jacob said to Rebekah
his mother. Behold, Esau my
ln'other is a hairy man, and I am a
smooth man:
12 My father peradventure will
feel me, and I shall seem to him
as a deceiver; and I shall bring
a curse upon me, and not a bless-
ing.
13 And his mother said unto
him. Upon me be thy curse, my
son : only obey my voice, and go
fetch me them.
14 And he went, and fetched,
and brought them to his mother:
and his mother made- savoury
meat, such as his father loved.
15 And Rebekah took goodly
raiment of her eldest son Esau,
which were with her in the house,
and put them upon Jacob her
younger son :
16 And she put the skins of the
kids of the goats upon his hands,
and upon the smooth of his neck :
17 And she gave the savoury
meat and the oread, which she
had prepared, into the hand of
her sou .Jacob.
18 And he came unto his father,
and said. My father: and he said,
Here am I; who art thou, my
son?
19 And Jacob said unto his fa-
ther, I am Esau thy firstborn ; I
have done according as thou
badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit
and eat of my venison, that thy
soul may bless me.
20 And Isaac said unto his son.
How is it that thou hast found it
so quickly, my son? And he said.
340
Because the Lord thy God brought
it to me.
21 And Isaac said unto Jacob,
Come near, I pray thee, that 1
may feel thee, my son, whether
thou be my very son Esau or not.
22 And Jacob went near imto
Isaac his father; and he felt him,
and said. The voice is Jacob's
voice, but the hands are the hands
of Esau.
25 And he said. Bring it near to
me, and I will eat of my son's
venison, that my soul may bless
thee. And he brought it near to
him, and he did eat: and he
brought him wine, and he drank.
_2G And his father Issac said unto
him. Come near now. and kiss me,
my son.
27 And he came near, and kissed
him: and he smelled the smell of
his raiment, and blessed him. and
said. See, the smell of my son is
as the smell of a held which the
Lord liath blessed:
28 Therefore God give thee of
the dew of heaven, and the fat-
ness of the earth, and plenty of
com and wine :
29 Let people serve thee, and
nations bow down to thee: be
lord over thy brethren, and let
thy mother's sons bow down to
thee: cursed be every one that
curseth thee, and blessed be he
that blesseth thee.
30 And it came to pass, as soon
as Isaac had made an end of bless-
ing Jacob, and Jacob was yet
scarce gone out from the presence
of his father, that Esau his broth-
er came in from his hunting.
31 And he also had made sa-
voury meat, and brought it unto
his father, and said unto his fa-
ther, Let my father arise, and eat
of his son's venison, that thy soul
may bless me.
32 And Isaac his father said unto
him, Who art thou? And he said,
I am thy sou, thy firstborn, Esau.
33 And Isaac trembled very ex-
ceedingly, and said. Who? where
is he that hath taken venison, and
brought it me, and 1 have eaten of
all before thou camest, and have
blessed him? yea, and he shaJl be
blessed.
34 And when Esau heard the
words of his father, he cried with
a great and exceeding bitter cry,
and said unto his father. Bless me,
even me also, O my father.
35 And he said. Thy brother
came with subtilty, and hath
taken away thy blessmg.
36 And he said. Is not he rightly
named Jacob? for he hath sup-
planted me these two times: be
took away my birthright; and,
behold, now he hath taken away
my blessing.
38 And Esau said. Hath thou
but one blessing, my father? bless
me. even me. And Esau lifted
up his voice, and wept.
39 And Isaac his father answered
and said unto him, Bebold, thy
dwelling shall be the fatness of
the earth, and of the dew of
heaven from above ;
40 And by tby sword shalt thou
live, and shalt serve thy brother:
and it shall come to pass when
thou shalt have the dominion,
that thou shalt break bis yoke
from off thy neck.
41 And Esau hated Jacob be-
cause of the blessing wherewith
his father blessed him: and Esau
said. The days of mourning for
my father are at hand ; then will
I slay my brother Jacob.
42 And these words of Esau her
elder son were told to Rebekah :
and she sent and called Jacob her
younger son, and said unto him.
Behold, thy brother Esau, as
touching thee, doth comfort him-
self, purposing to kill thee.
43 Now therefore, my son, obey
my voice; and arise, tlee thou to
Laban my brother to Haran ;
44 And tarry with him a few
days, until thy brother's fiu-y turn
aw ay ;
45 Until thy brother's anger turn
away from thee, and he forget
that which thou hast done to him :
then I will send, and fetch thee
from thence: why should I be de-
prived also of you both in one
day?
For fear of Esau, Isaac sent Jacob
to Padan-aram, to his uncle Laban,
his mother's brother. Jacob mar-
ried Laban's two daughters, Leah
and Rachel, and became very
rich by his peculiar method of
raising cattle.
Ge. 28—1 And Isaac called Jacob,
and blessed him.and charged him,
and said wiito him. Thou shalt
not take a wife of the daughters
of Canaan.
341
2 Arise, go to Padan-aram. to
the house of Bethuel thy motlier's
father; and take thee a wife from
thence of the daughters of Labau
thy mother's brother.
Ge. 29—1 Then Jacob went on
his journey, and came into the
land of the people of the east.
2 And he looKed, and behold a
wellinthefield,and,lo, there were
three tlocks of sheep lying by it ;
for out of that well they watered
the docks: and a great stone was
upon the well's mouth.
9 And Rachel came with her
father's sheep: forshe kept them.
10 And when Jacob saw Rachel
the daughter of Laban, and the
sheep of Laban his mother's
brother, Jacob went near, and
rolled the stone from the well's
mouth, and watered the Hock of
Laban.
11 And Jacob kissed Rachel, and
lifted up his voice, and wept.
12 And Jacob told Rachel that
he was her father's brother, and
that he was Rebekahs son: and
she ran and told her father.
13 And it came to pass, when
Laban heard the tidings of Jacob
his sister's son, that he ran to
meet him, and embraced him, and
kissed him, and brought him to
his house. And he told Laban
all these things.
14 And Laban said to him. Sure-
ly thou art my bone and my tiesh.
And he abode with him the space
of a month.
15 And Laban said unto Jacob,
Because thovi art my brother,
shouldest thou therefore serve me
for nought? tell me, what shall
thy wages be?
16 And Laban had two daugh-
ters: the name of the elder was
Leah, and the name of the young-
er was Rachel.
17 Leah was tender eyed; but
Rachel was beautiful and well
favoured.
18 And Jacob loved Rachel ; and
said, I will serve thee seven years
for Rachel thy younger daughter.
19 And Laban said. It is better
that I give her to thee, than that
I should give her to another man :
abide with me.
20 And Jacob served seven years
for Rachel; and they seemed un-
to him but a few days, for the
love he had to her.
21 And Jacob said unto Laban,
Give me my wife, for my days are
fulfilled, that 1 may go in unto
her.
•22 And Laban gathered together
all the men of the place, and made
23 And it came to pass in the
evening, that he took Leah his
daughter, and brought her to him ;
and he went in vmto her.
24 And Laban gave unto his
daughter Leah Ziipah his maid
for a handmaid.
25 And it came to pass, that in
the morning, behold, it was Leah :
and he said to Laban, What is this
thou has done unto me? did not
I serve with thee for Rachel?
wherefore then hast thou be-
guiled me?
26 And Laban said. It must not
be so done in our country, to give
the younger before the firstborn.
27 Fulfil her week, and we will
give thee this also for the service
which thou shalt serve with me
yet seven other years.
28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled
her week : and he gave him Rachel
his daughter to wife also.
29 And Laban gave to Rachel
his daughter Bilhah his hand-
maid to oe her maid.
30 And he went in also tmto Ra-
chel, and he loved also Rachel
more than Leah, and served with
him yet seven other years.
Ge. 30—25 And it came to passj
that Jacob said unto Laban, Send
me away, that I may go unto
mine own place, and to my coun-
try.
26 Give me my wives and my
children, for whom I have served
thee, and let me go: for thou
knowest my service which I have
done thee.
27 And Laban said unto him; I
pray thee, if I have found favour
in thine eyes, tarry: for I have
learned by experience that the
Lord hath blessed me for thy
28 And he said, Appoint me thy
wages, and I will give it.
29 And he said unto him, 1 hou
knowest how I have served thee,
and how thv cattle was with me.
30 For it was little which thou
hadst before 1 came, and it is now
increased vmto a multitude ; and
the Lord hath blessed thee since
my coming: and now, when shall
I provide for mine own house
342
31 Aud he said. What shall
I give thee? And Jacoh said,
Thou Shalt not give me any
thing: if thou wilt do this thing
ior me, I will again feed and keep
thy flock. , ,
32 I will pass through all thy
flock to day .removing from thence
all the speckled ana spotted cat-
tle, ana all the brown cattle
among the sheep, and the spotted
and speckled among the goats:
and of such shall be my hire.
33 So shall my righteousness
answer for me in time to come,
when it shall come for my hire
before thy face: every one that is
not speckled and spotted among
the goats and brown among the
sheep, that shall be counted sto-
len with me.
34 And Laban said. Behold, I
would it might be according to
thv word.
35 And he removed that day the
he goats that were ringstreaked
aud spotted, and all the she goats
that were speckled and spotted,
and everj[ one that had some
white in it, and all the brown
among the sheep, and gave them
into the hand of his sons.
36 And he set three days' jour-
ney betwixt himself and Jacob:
and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's
flocks.
37 And Jacob took him rods of
green poplar, aud of the hazel and
chestnut tree; and pilled white
streaks in them, and made the
white appear which was in the
rods.
38 And he set the rods which he
had pilled before the flocks in the
gutters in the watering troughs
when the flocks came to drink,
that they should conceive when
they came to drink,
39 And the flocks conceived be-
fore the rods, and brought forth
cattle ringstreaked, specKled, and
spotted,
40 And Jacob did separate the
lambs, and set the faces of the
flocks toward the ringstreaked,
and all the brown in the flock of
Laban ; and he put his own flocks
by themselves, and put them not
unto Laban's cattle.
41 And whensover the stronger
cattle did conceive, Jacob laid
the rods before the eyes of the
cattle in the gutters, that they
might conceive among the rods.
42 But when the cattle were fee-
ble, he put them not in: so the
feebler were Laban's, and the
stronger Jacob's.
43 And the man increased ex-
ceedingly, and had much cattle,
and maidservants, aud menserv-
ants, and camels, and asses.
Jacob leaves Laban to go to his
father, Isaac, in the Land of Ca-
naan.
Ge. 31—1 And he heard the
words of Laban's sons, saying, Ja-
cob hath taken away all that was
oiir father's; and of that which
was our father's hath he gotten
all this glory.
2 And Jacob beheld the counte-
nance of Laban, and, behold, it
was not toward him as before.
3 And the Lord said unto Ja-
cob, Return unto the land of thy
fathers, aud to thy kindred ; and
I will be with thee.
4 And Jacob sent and called
Rachel and Leah to the field unto
his flock,
5 And said unto them, I see
your father's countenance, that
It is not toward me as before ; but
the God of my father hath been
with me.
6 And ye know that with all my
power I have served your father.
7 And your father hath deceived
me, and changed my wages ten
times ; but God suffered him not
to hurt me.
8 If he said thus. The speckled
shall be thy wages: then all the
cattle bare speckled: and if he
said thus. The ringstreaked shall
be thy hire ; then bare all the cat-
tle ringstreaked.
9 Thus God hath taken away
the cattle of your father, and giv-
en them to me.
10 And itcame to pass at the time
that the cattle conceived, that I
lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a
dream, and, behold, the rams
which leaped upon the cattle
were ringstreaked, speckled, and
grizzled.
11 And the angel of God spake
unto me in a dream, saying, Ja-
cob: and I said. Here am I.
12 And he said. Lift up now
thine eves, and see, all the rams
which leap upon the cattle are
ringstreaked, speckled, and griz-
zled : for I have seen all that La-
ban doeth unto thee.
343
14 And Rachel and Leah answer-
ed and said unto him, Is there yet
any portion or inheritance for us
in our father's hotise?
15 Are we not counted of him
strangers? for he hath sold us.
and hath quite devoured also our
money.
16 For all the riches which God
hath taken from our father, that
is ours, and our children's: now
then, whatsoever God hath said
unto thee, do.
17 H Then Jacob rose up, and set
his sons and his wives upon cam-
els;
18 And he carried away all his
cattle, and all his goods which he
had gotten, the cattle of his get-
ting, which he had gotten in Pa-
dan-arain, for to go to Isaac his
father in the land of Canaan.
20 And Jacob stole away un-
awares to Laban the Syrian, in
that he told him not that he fled.
21 So he fled with all that he
had ; and he rose up, and passed
over the river, and set his face
toward the movmt Gilead.
22 And it was told Laban on the
third day, that Jacob was fled.
23 And betook his brethren with
him, and pursued after him seven
days' journey; and they overtook
him in the mount Gilead.
24 And God came to Laban the
Syrian in a dream by night, and
said unto him. Take heed that
thou speak not to Jacob either
good or bad.
36 H And Jacob was wroth, and
chode with Laban : and Jacob an-
swered and said to Laban, What
is my trespass? what is my sin,
that thou nast so hotly pursued
after me?
38 This twenty years ha ve I been
with thee ; thy ewes and thy she
goats have not cast their young,
and the rams of thy flock nave I
not eaten.
39 That which was torn of bea.sts
I brought not unto thee ; I bare
the loss of it ; of my hand didst
thou require it, whether stolen by
day, or stolen by niglit.
40 Thus I was; in the day the
drought consumed me, and the
frost by night ; and my sleep de-
parted from mine eyes.
41 Thus have I been twenty
years in tby house : 1 served thee
fourteen years for thy two daugh-
ters, and six years for thy cattle ;
and thou hast changed my wages
ten times.
42 Except the God of my father,
the God of Abraham, and the fear
of Isaac, had been with me, surely
thou hadst sent me away now
empty. God hath seen mine afflic-
tion and the labour of my hands,
and rebuked thee yesternight.
55 And early in the morning La-
ban rose up, and kissed his sous
and his daughters, and blessed
them: and Laban departed, and
retm-ned unto his place.
The pathetic meeting of" Esau
and Jacob, after a separation of
twenty years.
Ge. 32—1 And Jacob went on his
way, and the angels of God met
him.
2 And when Jacob saw them,
he said. This is God's host: and
he called the name of that place
Mahanaim.
3 And Jacob sent messengers
before him to Esau his brother
unto the land of Seir, the country
of Edom.
4 And he commanded them,
saying. Thus shall ye speak unto
my lord Esau ; Thy servant Jacob
saith thus, I have sojourned with
Laban, and stayed there until
now:
5 And I have oxen, and asses,
flocks, and menservants, and wo-
menservants: and I have sent to
tell my lord, that I may find grace
in thy sight.
611 And the messengers returned
to Jacob, saying. We came to thy
brother Esau, and also he cometh
to meet thee, and four hundred
men with him.
7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid
and distressed: and he divided
the people that was with him, and
the flocks, and herds, and the
camels, into two bauds;
8 And said. If Esau come to the
one company, and smite it, then
tlie other company which is left
shall escape.
9 IF And Jacob said, O God of
my father Abraham, and God of
my father Isaac, the Lord which
saidst unto me. Return unto thy
country, and to thy kindred, and
I will deal well with thee:
10 I am not worthy of the least
of all the mercies, and of all the
truth, which thou hast shewed
unto thy servant; for with my
344
staff I passed over this Jordan;
and now 1 am become two bands.
11 Deliver me, 1 pray thee, from
the hand of my brother, from tlie
hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest
he will come and smite me, and
the mother with the children.
13 1 And he lodged there that
same night; and took of that
wliich came to his hand a present
for Esau his brother ;
14 Two hundred she goats and
twenty lie goats, two hundred
ewes and twenty rams,
15 Thirty milch camels with
their colts, forty kine and ten
bulls, twenty she asses and ten
foals.
16 And he delivered tliem into
the hand of his servants, every
drove by themselves; and said
unto his servants. Pass over be-
fore me, and put a space betwixt
drove and drove.
17 And he commanded the fore-
most, saying, When Esau my
brother meeteth thee, and asketh
thee, saying. Whose art thou? and
whither goest thou? and whose
are these before thee?
18 Then thou slialt say. They be
thy servant Jacob's; it is a pres-
ent sent unto my lord Esau.
20 And say ye moreover. Behold,
thy servant Jacob is behind us.
J"or he said, I will appease him
with the present that goeth be-
fore me, and afterward I will see
his face; peradventure he will
accept of me.
21 bo went the present over be-
fore him. p. 492.
Ge. 33—1 And Jacob lifted up his
eyes, and looked, and, behold
Esau came, and with him four
hmidred men. And he divided
the children unto Leah, and unto
Rachel, and unto the two hand-
maids.
2 And he put the handmaids
and their children foremost, and
Leah and her children after, and
Kachel and Joseph hindermost.
3 And he passed over before
them, and bowed himself to the
ground seven times, until he came
iiear to his brother.
4 And Esau rau to meet him,
and embraced him, and fell on his
neck, and kissed him: and they
wept.
5 And he lifted up his eyes, and
saw the women and the children,
and said. Who are those with
thee? And he said. The children
which God hath graciously given
thy servant.
6 Then the handmaidens came
near, they and their children, and
they bowed themselves.
7 And Leah also with her chil-
dren came near, tod bowed them-
selves: and after came Joseph
near and Rachel, and they bowed
themselves.
8 And he said. What meanest
thou by all this drove which I
met? And he said. These are to
find grace in the sight of my lord,
9 And Esau said, I have enough,
my brother; keep that thou hast
unto thyself.
10 And Jacob said. Nay, I pray
thee, if now I have found grace in
thy sight, then receive my present
at my hand : for therefore I have
seen thy face, as though I had seen
the face of God, and thou wast
pleased with me.
11 Take, I pray thee, my blessing
that is brought to thee; because
God hath dealt graciously with
me, and because 1 have enough.
And he urged him, and he took
it.
12 And he said. Let us take our
journey, and let us go, and I will
go before thee.
13 And he said unto him. My
lord knoweth that the children
are tender, and the flocks and
herds with young are with me;
and if men should overdrive them
one day, all the flock will die.
14 Let my lord, I pray thee, pass
over before his servant ; and I will
lead on softly, according as the
cattle that goeth before me and
the children DC able to endure, un-
til I come unto my lord unto Seh.
15 And Esau said. Let me now
leave with thee some of the folk
that are with nie. And he said.
What needeth it? let me find
grace in the sight of my lord.
16 IT So Esau returned that day
on his way unto Seir.
17 And Jacob jom-neyed to Suo-
cotli, and built him a house, and
made booths for his cattle.
18 IT And Jacob came to Shalem,
a city of Shechem, which is in the
land of Canaan, when he came
from Padan-arani; and pitched
his tent before the city.
19 And he bought a parcel of a
field, where he had spread his
tent, at the hand of the children
of Hamor, Shechem's father, for
a hundred pieces of money.
SIS
Dinah Jacob's daughter, rav-
ished by Shechem.
Ge. 34—1 And Dinah the daugh-
ter of Leah, which she bare unto
Jacob, went out to see the daugh-
ters of the land.
2 And when Shechem the son of
Hamor the Hivite, prince of the
country, saw her, he took her, and
lay with her, and defiled her.
11 And Shechem said unto her
father and unto her brethren, Let
me find grace in your eyes, and
what ye shall say unto me I will
give.
12 Ask me never so much dowry
and gift, and I will give according
as ye shall say unto me: but give
me the damsel to wife.
14 And they said. We cannot do
this thing, to give our sister to
one that is uncircumcised ; for
that were a reproach unto us:
15 But in this will we consent
unto you: If ye will be as we be,
that every male of you be circum-
cisGcl '
16 Then will we give our daugh-
ters unto yoii, and we will take
your daughters to us, and we will
dwell with you, and we will be-
come one people.
20 And Hamor and Shechem his
son came unto the gate of their
city, and communed with the
men of their city.
24 And unto Hamor and unto
Shechem his sou hearkened all
that went out of the gate of his
city ; and every male was circum-
ciSGQ
25 And on the third day, when
they were sore, two of the sons of
Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's
brethren,took each man hissword,
and came upon the city, and slew
all the males.
26 And they slew Hamor and
Shechem his son with the edge of
the sword, and took DLuah out
of Shechem's house, and went
out.
27 The sons of Jacob came upon
the slain, and spoiled the city, be-
cause they had defiled their sister.
28 They took their sheep, and
their oxen, and their asses, and
that which was in the city, and
that which was in the field,
29 And all their wealth, and all
theii- little ones, and their wives
took they captive, and spoiled
even all tnat was in the house.
Names of Jacob's twelve sons
(and one daughter Dinah, see this
page! Ruben,histirst born, defiled
his father's bed, and Jacob con-
demned him for so doing.
Ge. 35—21 And Israel journeyed,
and spread his tent beyond the
tower of Edar.
22 And v/hen Israel dwelt in that
land, Reuben went and lay with
Bilhah his f ather'sconcubine : and
Israel heard it. Now the sons of
Jacob were twelve:
•n The sons of Leah; Ruben,
Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon,
and Levi.aiid Judah.and Issachar,
and Zebulun:
24 The sons of Rachel ; Joseph,
and Benjamin:
25 And the sons of Bilhah, Ra-
chel's handmaid; Dan, and Naph-
tali:
26 And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's
handmaid ; Gad.and Asher. These
are the sons of Jacob, which were
bom to him in Padan-aram. p. 42.
Ge. 49—3 Reuben, thou art my
firstborn, my might, and the be-
ginning of my strength, the ex-
cellency of dignity, and the ex-
cellency of power :
4 Unstable as water, thou shalt
not excel; because thou wentest
up to thy father's bed; then de-
tiledst thou it : he went up to my
couch.
Er and Onan slain by the Lord ;
Judah and Tamar ; Pharez the bas-
tard, through whom Luke traced
the genealogy of Christ, Lu. 3. 33.
p. 500; De, 23. 2, p. 81.
Ge. 38—6 And Judah took a wife
for Er his firstborn, whose name
was Tamar.
7 And Er, Judah's firstborn, was
wicked in the sight of the Lord ;
and the Lord slew him.
8 And Judah said unto Onan,
Go in unto thy brother's wife,
and marry her, and raise up seed
to thy brother.
9 And Onan knew that the seed
should not be his; and it came to
pass, when he went in unto his
brother's wife, that he spilled it
on the ground, lest that he should
give seed to his brother.
10 And the thing which he did
displeased the Lord: wherefore
he slew him also.
i 11 Then said Judah to Tamar his
346
daughter in law, Remain a widow
at thy father's house, till Shelah
my son be grown :
13 And it was told Tamar, say-
ing. Thy father in law goeth up
to Timnath to shear his sheep.
14 And she put her widow's gar-
ments off, and sat in an open
place, which is by the way to
Timnath; for she saw that she-
lah was grown, and she was not
given unto him to wife.
15 When Judah saw her, he
thought her to be a harlot; be-
cause she had covered her face.
16 And he said. Go to, I pray
thee, let me come in unto thee ;
(for he knew not that she was his
daughter in law:) and she said.
What wilt thou give me?
17 And he said, I will send thee
a kid from the tiock. And she
said, Wilt thou give me a pledge,
till thou send it?
18 And he said. What pledge
shall I give thee? And she said.
Thy signet, and thy bracelets,
and thy staff that is in thine
hand. And he gave it her, and
came in vuito her, and she con-
ceived by him.
20 And Judah sent the kid bv
the hand of his friend the Adul-
lamite, to receive his pledge from
the woman's hand: but he found
her not.
24 About three months after,
that it was told Judah, saying,
Tamar thy daughter in law hath
played the harlot ; and also, be-
hold, she is with child by whore-
dom. And Judah said. Bring her
forth, and let her be burnt.
25 When she was brought forth,
she sent to her father in law, say-
ing. By the man, whose these are,
am 1 with child: and she said.
Discern, I pray thee, whose are
these, the signet, and bracelets,
and staff.
26 And Judah acknowledged
them, and said. She hath been
more righteous than I; because
that I gave her not to Shelah my
son. And he knew her again no
more.
27 And it came to pass in the
time of her travail, that, behold,
twins were in her womb.
28 And when she travailed, one
put out his hand: and the mid-
wife took and bound upon his
hand a scarlet thread, saying,
This came out first.
29 And it came to pass, as he
drew back his hand, that, behold,
his brother came out: and she
said. How hast thou broken forth?
this breach be upon thee : there-
fore hisnajne was called Pliarez.
30 And afterward came out his
brother, that had the scarlet
thread upon his hand: and his
name was called Zarah.
Joseph sold into Egypt by the
Lord's decree, see Ge. 45. 5-8, 6. 352,
and then cast into prison. He in-
terpreteth Pharaoh's butler's and
baker's dreams.
Ge. 37—1 And Jacob dwelt in
the land of Canaan.
2 Joseph, being seventeen years
old, was feeding the flock with
his brethren; and Joseph brought
unto his father their evil report.
3 Now Israel loved Joseph more
than all his children, because he
was the son of his old age: and
he made him a coat of many col-
ours.
4 And when his brethren saw
that then- father loved him more
than all his brethren, they hated
him, and could not speak peace-
ably unto him.
6 And he said unto them, Hear,
I pray you, this dream which I
have dreamed :
7 Foi', behold, we were binding
sheaves in the field, and, lo, niy
sheaf arose, and also stood up-
right; and, behold, yom- sheaves
stood round about, and made
obeisance to my sheaf.
8 And his brethren said to him,
Shalt thou indeed reign over us?
or shalt thou indeed have domin-
ion over us? And they hated him
yet the more for his dreams, and
for his words.
9 H And he dreamed yet another
dream, and told it his brethren,
and said. Behold, I have dreamed
a dream more; and, behold, the
sun and the moon and the eleven
stars made obeisance to me.
10 And he told it to his father,
and to his brethren : and his father
rebuked him, and said unto him.
What is this dream that thou hast
dreamed? Shall I and thy moth-
er and thy brethren indeed come
to bow down ourselves to thee to
the earth?
11 And his brethren envied him ;
but his father observed the saying.
347
12 And his brethren went to
feed their father's dock in She-
chem.
13 And Israel said unto Joseph,
Do not thy brethren feed the tiock
in Shechem? come, and I will
send thee unto them.
23 11 And it came to pass, when
Joseph was come unto his breth-
ren, that they stripped Joseph out
of liis coat, his coat of many
colours that was on him ;
24 And they took him, and cast
him into a pit: and the pit was
empty, there was no water in it.
28 Then there passed by Mld-
ianites merchantmen ; and tliey
drew and lifted up Joseph out of
the pit, and sold Joseph to the
Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of
silver: and they brought Joseph
to Egypt.
31 And they took Joseph's coat,
and killed a kid of the goats, and
dipped the coat in the blood ;
32 And they brought it to their
father; and said, This have M'e
found: know not whether it be
thy son's coat or no.
33 And he knew it, and said. It
is my son's coat; an evil beast
hath devoured him; Joseph is
without doubt rent in pieces.
34 And Jacob rent his clothes,
and put sackcloth upon his loins,
and mourned for his son numy
days.
Ge. 39 — 1 And Joseph wasbrought
down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an
officer of Pharaoh, captain of the
guard, bought him of the hands
of the Ishmaelites.
4 And Joseph found grace in
his sight: and he made him over-
seer over his house, and all that
he had he put mto his hand.
5 And the Lord blessed the
Egyptian's house for Joseph's
sake;
6 And Joseph was a goodly per-
son, and well favoured.
7 And it came to pass after
thes things, that his master's
wife cast her eyes \ipon Joseph,
and she said. Lie with me.
8 But he refused, and said; Be-
hold, my master wotteth not what
is with me in the house, and he
hath committed all that he hath
to my hand ;
9 There is none greater in this
house than I ; neither hath he
kept back any thing from me but
thee, because thou art his wife:
how then can I do this great
wickedness, and sin against God?
11 And it came to pa.ss that
Joseph went into the house to do
his business; and there was none
of the men of the house within.
12 And she caught him by his
garment, saying. Lie with me:
and he left his garment in her
hand, and tied.
16 And she laid up his garment
by her, until his lord came
home.
17 And she spake unto him, say-
ing. The Hebrew servant, which
thou hast brought unto us, came
in unto me to mock me ;
18 And, as I lifted up my voice
and cried, he left his garment
with me, and fled out.
19 And, when his master heard
the words of his wife, his wrath
was kindled.
20 And Joseph's master took
him, and put him into the prison,
a place where the king's prisoners
were bound.
21 But the Lord was with
Joseph, and shew-ed him mercy,
and gave him favour in the sight
of the keeper of the prison.
22 And the keeper of the prison
committed to Joseph's hand all
the prisoners that were in the
prison.
23 The keeper of the prison
looked not to any thing that was
under his hand; because the
Lord M'as with him, and that
which he did, the Lord made it
to prosper.
Ge. 40—2 And Pharaoh was
wroth against two of his officers,
the chief of tlie butlers, and
the chief of the bakers.
3 And he put them in ward in
the house of the captain of the
guard, into the prison, the place
where Joseph was bound.
8 And they said unto him. We
have dreamed a dream, and there
is no interpreter of it. And Jo-
seph said imto them. Do not in-
terpretations belong to God? tell
me them, I prav you.
9 And the chief butler told his
dream to Joseph, and said to him.
In my dream, behold, a vine was
before me ;
10 And in the vine were three
branches: and it was as though
it budded, and her blossoms shot
forth; and the clusters thereof
brought forth ripe grapes:
348
11 And Pliaraoh's cup was in my
hand: and I took the grapes, and
pressed them into Pharaoh's cup,
and I gave the cup into Pharaoh's
hand.
12 And Joseph said. This is the
interpretation of it: Tlie three
branches are three days:
13 Yet withm three days shall
Pharaoh lift up thine head, and
restore thee uuto thy place ; and
thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup
into his hand, after the former
manner.
14 But think on me when it
shall be well with thee, and shew
kindness, 1 pray thee, unto me,
and make mention of me unto
Pharaoh, and bring me out of this
house.
16 When the chief baker saw
that the interpretation was good,
he said unto Joseph, I also was in
my dream, and, behold, I had
three white baskets on my head :
17 And in the uppermost basket
there was of all manner of bake-
meats for Pharaoh ; and the birds
did eat them out of the basket
upon my head.
18 And Joseph said. This is the
interpretation thereof: The three
baskets are three days:
19 Yet within three days shall
Pharaoh lift up thy head from off
thee, and shall hang thee on a
tree ; and the birds shall eat thy
flesh from off thee.
20 And it came to pass the third
day, which was Phai-aoh's birth-
day, that he made a feast unto
all his servants.
21 And he restored the chief
butler unto his butlership again ;
and he gave the cup into Pha-
raoh's hand :
22 But he hanged the chief
baker: as Joseph had interpreted
to them.
23 Yet did not the chief but-
ler remember Joseph.
Pharaoh's two dreams: Joseph
interpreteth them, Pharaoh ap-
points Joseph governor over all
Egypt. The famine in Egypt:
Jacob sent his sons into Egypt to
buy corn, Joseph makes himself
known to them, and at his and
Pharaoh s request Jacob and his
entire family go down into Egypt.
Ge. 41—1 And it came to pass at
the end of two full years, that
Pharaoh dreamed.
14 Then Pharaoh sent and
called Joseph, and they brought
him hastily out of the dungeon:
and he shaved himself, and
changed his raiment, and came
in unto Pharaoh.
15 And Pharaoh said unto Jo-
seph, I have dreamed a dream,
and there is none that can inter-
pret it : and I have heard say of
thee, that thou canst understand
a dream to interpret it.
16 And Joseph answered Pha-
raoh, saying. It is 'not in me:
Qod shall give Pharaoh an an.swer
of peace.
17 And Pharaoh said unto Jo-
seph, In my dream, behold, I
stood upon the bank of the river:
18 And, behold, there came up
out of the river seven kine, fat-
fleshed and well favoured; and
they fed in a meadow:
19 And, behold, seven other kine
came up after them, poor and
very ill favoured and leanfleshed.
such as I never saw in all the land
of Egypt for badness:
20 And the lean and the ill fa-
voured kine did eat up the first
seven fat kine:
21 And when they had eaten
them up, it could not be known
that they had eaten them ; but
they were still ill favoured, as at
the beginning. So I awoke.
22 And I saw in my dream, and,
behold, seven ears come up in
one stalk, full and good :
23 And, behold, seven ears, with-
ered, thin, and blasted with
the east wind, sprung up after
them:
24 And the thin ears devoured
the seven good ears: and I told
thisunto the magicians; but there
was none that could declare it to
me.
25 And Joseph said unto Pha-
raoh, The dream of Pharaoh is
one: God hath shewed Pharaoh
what he is about to do.
26 The seven good kine are
seven years; and the seven good
ears are seven years: the dream
is one.
27 And the seven thin and ill
favoured kine that came up after
them are seven years; and the
seven empty ears blasted with the
east wind shall be seven years of
famine.
»i9
28 This is the thing which I
have spoken unto Pharaoh : Wliat
God is about to do he sheweth
uiito Pharaoh.
29 Behold, there come seven
years of great plenty throughout
all the land of Egypt:
30 And there shall arise after
them seven years of famine; and
all the plenty shall be forgotten
in the land of Egypt: and the
famine shall consume the land;
31 And the plenty shall not be
known in the land by reason of
that famine following ; for it shall
be very grievous.
32 And for that the dream was
doubled unto Phai-aoh twice; it
is because the thing is established
by (Jod, and God will shortly
bring it to pass.
33 Now therefore let Pharaoh
look out a man discreet and wise,
and set him over the land oi
Egypt.
Si Let Pharaoh do this, and let
him appoint otiicersover the land,
and take up the fifth part of the
laud of Egypt in the seven plen-
teous years.
35 And let them gather all the
food of those good years that
come, and lay up corn under the
hand of Pharaoh, and let them
keep food in the cities.
36 And that food shall be for
store to the land against the seven
years of famine, which shall be in
the land of Egypt ; that the land
perish not thrtnigh the famine.
39 And Pharaoh said unto Jo-
seph, Forasmuch as God hath
shewed thee all this, there is none
so discreet and wise as thou art:
40 Thou shalt be over my house,
and according unto thy word .shall
all my people be ruled: only in
the tlurone will 1 be greater than
thou.
41 And Pharaoh said unto Jo-
seph, See, I have set thee over
all the land of Egypt.
42 And Pharaoh took off his
ring from his hand, and put it
upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed
him in vestures of fine linen, and
put a gold chain about his
neck;
43 And he made him to ride in
the second chariot which he had ;
and they cried before him, Bow
the knee: and he made him ruler
over all the land of Egypt.
44 And Pharaoh said unto Jo-
seph, I am Pharaoli, and without
thee shall no man lift up his
hand or foot in all the land of
Egypt.
4,') And Pharaoh called Joseph's
name Zaphnath-paaueah ; and he
gave him to wife Asenath the
daughter of Poti-pherah priest of
On. And Joseph went out over all
the land of Egypt.
46 And Joseph was thirty years
old when he stood before Pharaoh
k ing of Egypt. And Joseph went
out from the presence of Pharaoh,
and went throughout all the land
of Egypt.
48 And he gathered up all the
food of the seven years, which
were in the land of Egypt, and
laid up the food in the cities: the
food of the field, which was round
about every city, laid he up in the
same.
50 And unto Joseph were born
two sons, before the years of fam-
ine came: which Asenath the
daughter of Poti-pherah priest of
On bare unto him.
51 And Joseph called the name
of the firstborn Manasseh: For
God, said he, hath made me for-
get all my toil, and all my fath-
er's house.
.52 And the name of the second
called he Ephraim : For God hath
caused me to be fruitful in the
land of my afiiiction.
53 And the seven years of plen-
teousness, that was in the land of
Egypt, were ended.
55 And when all the land of
Egypt was famished, the people
cried to Pharaoh for bread: and
Pharaoh said unto all the Egyp-
tians, Go unto Joseph; what he
saith to you, do.
56 And the famine was over all
the face of the earth: and Joseph
opened all the storehouses, and
sold unto the Egyptians; and the
famine waxed sore in the laud of
Egypt.
57 And all countries came into
Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn ;
because that the famine was so
sore in all lands.
Ge. 42—1 Now when Jacob saw
that there was corn in Egypt, Ja-
cob said unto his sons,
2 Get you down thither, and
buy for us from thence; that we
may live, and not die.
3 H And Joseph's ten brethren
went down to buy corn in Egypt.
4 But Benjamin, Joseph's broth-
er, Jacob sent not with his breth-
350
ren ; for he said. Lest peradven-
ture mischief befall him.
5 And the sons of Israel came to
buy corn among those that came :
for the famine was in the land of
Canaan.
6 And Joseph was the governor
over the land, and he it was that
sold to all the people of the land:
and Joseph's brethren came, and
bowed down themselves before
him with their faces to the earth.
7 And Joseph saw his brethren,
and he knew them, but made him-
self strange luitothem, and spake
roiighly unto them; and he said
unto them. Whence come ye?
And they said. From the land of
Canaan to buy food.
8 And Joseph knew his breth-
ren, but they knew not him.
9 And Joseph remembered the
dreams which he dreamed of
them, and said unto them. Ye are
spies ; to see the nakedness of the
land ye are come.
10 And they said unto him. Nay,
my lord, but to buy food are thy
servants come.
14 And Joseph said unto them.
That is it that I spake unto you,
saying. Ye are spies:
15 Hereby ye shall be proved:
By the life of Pharaoh ye shall
not. go forth hence, except your
youngest bi-other come hither.
16 Send one of you, and let him
fetch your brother, and ye shall
be kept in pri.son, that your words
may be proved, whether there be
any truth in you: or else by the
life of Pharaoh surely ye are
spies.
17 And he put them all together
into ward three days.
18 And Joseph said unto them
the third day. This do, and live ;
for 1 fear God :
19 If ye be true men, let one of
your brethren be bound in the
house of your prison: go ye,
carry com for the famme of your
houses:
20 But bring your youngest
brother unto me; so shall your
words be verilied, and ye shall
not die. And they did so.
24 And he turned him.self about
from them, and wept; and re-
turned to them again, and com-
muned with them, and took from
them Simeon, and bound him be-
fore their eyes.
25 Then Joseph commanded to
fill their sacks with corn, and to
restore every man's money into
his sack, and to give them pro-
vision for the way: and thus did
he unto them.
26 And they laded their asses
with the corn, and departed
thence.
29 H And they came unto Jacob
their father unto the land of Ca-
naan, and told him all that befell
unto them.
38 And he said. My son shall not
go down with you ; for his brother
IS dead, and he is left alone: if
mischief befall him by the way in
the which ye go, then shall ye
bring down my gray hairs with
sorrow to the grave.
Ge. 43—2 And it came to pass,
when they had eaten up the corn
which they had brought out of
Egypt.their father said unto them,
Go again, buy us a little food.
3 And Judali spake unto him,
saying, The man did solemnly
protest unto us, saying, ye shall
not see my face, except your
brother be with you.
11 And their father Israel said
unto them, If it must be so now, do
this; take of the best fruits in the
land in your vessels, and carry
down the man a present, a little
balm, and a little honey, spices
and myrrh, nuts and almonds:
12 And take double money in
your hand ; and the money that
was brought again in the mouth
of your sacks, carry it again in
your hand; peradventure it was
an oversight.
13 Take also your brother, and
arise, go again unto the man:
14 And God Almighty give you
mercy before the man, that he
may send away your otlier broth-
er,;and Benjamin. If I be bereav-
ed of my children, I am be-
reaved.
15 And the men took that pres-
ent, and they took double money
in their hand, and Benjamin;
and rose up, and went down to
E&ypt, and stood before Joseph.
16 And when Joseph saw Benja-
min with them, he said to the
ruler of his house. Bring these
men home, and slay, and make
ready; for these men shall dine
with me at noon.
17 And the man did as Joseph
bade; and the man brought the
men into Joseph's house.
361
Ifl And they came near to the
steward of .losepli's liuuse, and
they communed with him at the
door of the house,
20 And said, O sir, we came in-
deed down at the tirst time to buy
food:
21 And it came to pass, when we
came to the inn, that we opened
our sacks, and, behold, every
man's money was in the mouth
of liis sack, our money in full
weight: and wo have brought it
again in our hand.
22 And other money have we
brought down in our hands to
buy food ; we cannot tell who put
our money in our sacks.
23 And he said, Peace be to you,
fear not: your God, and the God
of your father, hath given you
treasure in your sacks: I had your
money. And he brought Simeon
out unto them.
24 And the man brought the
men into Joseph's house, and
gave them water, and they wash-
ed their feet: and he gave their
asses provender.
26 And when Joseph came home,
they brought him the present
which was in their hand into the
house, and bowed themselves to
him to the earth.
27 And he asked them of their
welfare, and said, Is your father
well, the old man of whom ye
spake? Is he yet alive?
28 And they answered. Thy serv-
ant our father is in good health,
he is yet alive. And tliey bowed
down their heads, and made obei-
sance.
29 And he lifted up his eyes,
and saw his brother Benjamin,
his mother's son, and said. Is this
your younger brother, of whom
ye spake unto me? And he said,
God be gracious unto thee, my
son.
30 And Joseph made haste;
for his bowels did yearn upon
his brother: and he sought
where to weep; and he entered
into his chamber, and wept
there.
31 And he washed his face, and
went out, and refrained himself,
and said. Set on bread.
32 And they set on for him by
himself, and for them by them-
selves, and for the Egyptians,
which did eat with him, by them-
selves: because the Egyptians
might not eat bread with the He-
brews: for that is an abomination
unto the Egyptians.
33 And they sat before him, the
tirstborn according to his birth-
right, and the youngest according
to his youth: and the men mar-
velled one at another.
34 And he took and sent messes
unto them from before him : but
Benjamin's mess was five times so
much as any of theirs. And they
drank, and were merry with him.
Ge. 44—1 And he commanded
the steward of his house, saying,
Fill the men's sacks with food, as
much as they can carry, and put
every man's mouey in his sack's
mouth.
2 And put my cup, the silver
cup, in the sack's mouth of the
youngest, and his corn money.
And he did according to the word
that Joseph had spoken.
3 As soon as the morning was
light, the men were sent away.
4 And when they were gone out
of the city, and not yet far off,
Joseph said unto his steward. Up,
follow after the men ; and when
thou dost overtake them, say un-
to them. Wherefore have ye re-
warded evil for good?
5 Is not this it in which my lord
drinketh, and whereby indeed he
divineth? ye have done evil in
so doing.
6 And he overtook them, and
he spake unto them these same
words.
11 Then they speedily took down
every man his sack to the ground,
and opened every man his sack.
12 And he searched, and began
at the eldest, and left at the
youngest: and the cup was found
m Benjamin's sack.
13 Then they rent their clothes,
and laded every man his ass, and
returned to the city.
14 And Judah and his brethren
came to Joseph's house; for he
was yet there: and they fell be-
fore him on the ground.
15 And Joseph said unto them.
What deed is this that ye have
done? wot ye not tliat such a
man as I can certainly divine?
16 And Judah said. What shall
we say unto my lord? what shall
we speak? or how shall we clear
ourselves? God hath foimd out
the iniquity of tliy servants: be-
hold, we are my lord's servants,
both we, antl he also with whom
the cup IS found.
352
Ge.45— 1 Then Joseph could not
refrain himself before all them
that stood by him ; and he cried,
Cause every man to go out from
me. And there stood no man with
him, while Joseph made himself
known unto his brethren.
2 And he wept aloud: and the
Egyptians and the house of Pha-
raoh heard.
3 And Joseph said, I am Joseph ;
doth my father yet live? And
his brethren could not answer
him; for they were troubled at
his presence.
4 And Joseph said to his breth-
ren, Come near, I pray you. And
they came near. And he said, I
am Joseph your brother, whom
ye sold into Egypt.
5 Now be not grieved, nor angry
with yourselves, that ye sold me
hither: for God did send me be-
fore you to preserve life.
6 For these two years hath the
famine been in the land: and yet
there are five years, in the which
there shall neither be earing nor
harvest.
7 And God sent me before you
to preserve you a posterity in the
earth, and to save your lives by a
great deliverance.
8 So now it was not you that
sent me hither, but God : and he
hath made me a father to Pha-
raoh, and lord of all his house,
and a ruler throughout all the
laud of Egypt.
9 Haste ye, and go up to my
father, and say unto him. Thus
saith thy son Joseph, God hath
made me lord of all Egypt: come
down unto me, tarry not:
10 And thou shalt dwell m the
land of Goshen, and thou shalt
be near unto me, thou, and thy
children, and thy children's chil-
dren, and thy liocks, and thy
herds, and all that thou hast:
11 And there will I nourish
thee ; .for yet there are five years
of famine.
12 And, behold, your eyes see,
and the eyes of my brother Ben-
jamin, that it is my mouth that
speaketh unto you.
13 And ye shall tell my fatherof
all my glory in Egypt, and all ye
have seen; and shall ha.ste and
bring down my father hither.
14 And he fell upon his brother
Benjamin's neck, and wept ; and
Benjamin wept upon his neck.
15 Moreover he kissed all his
brethren, and wept upon them:
and after that his brethren talked
with him.
16 H And the fame thereof was
heard in Pharaoh's house, saying,
Joseph's brethren are come: and
it pleased Pharaoh well, and his
servants.
17 And Pharaoh said unto Jo-
seph, Say unto thy brethren. This
do ye; lade your beasts, and go,
get you unto the land of Canaan ;
18 And take yom' father and
your householdSt and come v\nto
me: and I will give you the good
of the land of Egypt, and ye shall
eat the fat of the laud.
19 Now thou art commanded,
this do ye ; take you wagons out
of the land of Egypt for your lit-
tle ones, and for your wives, a«id
bring your father, and come.
20 Also regard not your stufif •
for the good of all the laud of
Egypt is yours.
21 And the children of Israel did
so: and Jo.seph gave them wag-
ons, according to the command-
ment of Pharaoh, and gave them
provision for the way.
22 To all of them he gave each
man changes of raiment ; but to
Benjamin ne gave three hundred
pieces of silver, and five changes
of raiment.
23 And to his father he sent
after this manner; ten asses laden
with the good things of Egypt,
and ten she asses laden with com
and bread and meat for his father
by the way.
24 So he sent his brethren away,
and he said unto them. See that
ye fall not out by the way.
25 IT And they went up out of
Egypt, and came into tiie land
of Canaan unto Jacob their
father,
26 And told him, saying, Joseph
is yet alive, and he is governor
over all the land of Egypt. And
Jacob's heart fainted, for he be-
lieved them not.
27 And they told him all the
words of Joseph, which he had
said unto them : and when he saw
the wagons which Joseph had
sent to carry him, the spirit of
Jacob their father revived.
28 And Israel said. It is enough ;
Joseph my son is yet alive: I will
go and see him before I die. See
Ge. 46, p. 149.
353
Jacob and his family are kindly
received in Egypt by Joseph and
Pharaoh. See also Ge. 46, p. 140.
Joseph, by taking advantage of
tlie starving Egyptians, secures
all their money, cattle, and land
for Pharaoh; but the land of the
holy, holy priest was exempted.
Ct«. 47—1 Then Joseph came and
told Pharaoh, and said. My father
and my brethren, and their tiocks,
and then- herds, and all that they
have, are come out of the land
of Canaan; and, behold, they are
in the land of Goshen.
2 And he took some of his breth-
ren, even five men, and presented
them unto Pharaoh.
3 And Pharaoh said unto his
brethren. What is your occupa-
tion? And they said unto Pha-
raoh, Thy servants are shepherds,
both we, and also our fathers.
4 They said moreover unto Pha-
raoh, For to sojourn in the land
are we come; for thy servants
have no pasture for their docks;
for the famine is sore in the land
of Canaan: now therefore, we
pray thee, let thy servants dwell
in the land of Goshen.
5 And Pharaoh spake unto Jo-
seph, saying,
6 The land of Egypt is before
thee; in the best of the land make
thy father and brethren to dweH :
in the land of Goshen let them
dwell: and if thou knowest any
men of activity among them,
then make them rulers over my
cattle.
7 And Joseph brought in .Jacob
his father, and set him before Pha-
roah: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
8 And Pharaoh said unto Jacob,
How old art thou?
9 And Jacob said unto Pharaoh,
The days of the years of my pil-
grimage are a hundred and thirty
years: few and evil have the days
of the years of my life been, and
have not attained unto the days
of the years of the life of my fa-
thers in the days of their pilgrim-
age.
10 And -Jacob blessed Pharaoh,
and went out.
11 And Joseph placed his fa-
ther and his brethren, and gave
them a possession in the land of
Egypt, in the best of the land, in
the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh
had commanded.
12 And Joseph nourished his fa-
ther, and his brethren, and all his
father's household, with bread,
according to their families.
13 IT And there was no bread in
all the land; for the famine was
very sore, so that the land of
Egypt and all the land of Canaan
fainted by reason of the famine.
14 And Joseph gathered up all
the money that was found in the
land of Egypt, and in the land of
Canaan, for the corn which they
bought: and Joseph brought the
money into Pharaoh's house.
15 And when money failed in
the land of Egypt, and in the land
of Canaan, all the Egyptians
came unto Joseph, and said. Give
us bread: for why should we die
in thy presence? for the money
faileth.
16 And Joseph said. Give your
cattle; and I will give you for
your cattle, if money fail.
17 And they brought their cattle
unto Joseph: and Joseph gave
them bread in exchange for
horses, and for the docks, and for
the cattle of the herds, and for
the asses; and he fed them with
bread for all their cattle for that
year.
18 When that year was ended,
they came unto him the second
year, and said unto him. We will
not hide it from my loi'd, how that
our money is spent ; my lord also
hath our herds of cattle: there is
not aught left in the sight of my
lord, but our bodies, and our
lands:
19 Wherefore shall we die before
thine eyes, both we and our land?
buy ixs and our land for bread, and
we and our land will be servants
unto Pharaoh: and give us seed,
that we may live, and not die,
that the land be not desolate.
20 And Joseph bought all the
land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for
the Egyiitians sold evei-y man his
field, because the famine pre-
vailed over them; so the laud
became Pharaoli's.
21 And as for the people, he re-
moved them to cities from cne
end of the borders of Egypt even
to the other end thereof.
22 Only the land of the priests
bought ho not ; for the priests had
a portion assigned them of Pha-
raoh, and did eat their portion
which Pharaoh gave them:
wherefore they sold not theu*
lauds.
354
23 Then Joseph said unto the
people, Behold, I have bought you
this day aud your laud for Pha-
raoh : lo, here is seed for you, and
ye shall sow the land.
24 Aud it shall come to pass in
the increase, that ye shall give the
fifth part unto Pharaoh, and four
parts shall be yom- own, for seed
of the field, and for your food, and
for them of your households, and
for food for your little ones.
25 Aud they said, Thou hast
saved our lives: let us find grace
in the sight of my lord, and we
will be Pharaoh's servants.
26 And Joseph made it a law
over the land of Egypt unto this
day, that Pharaoh should have
the fifth part; except the laud of
the priests only, which became
not Pharaoh's.
27 And Israel dwelt in the land
of Egypt, in the country of Go-
shen; and they had possessions
therein, aud grew, and multiplied
exceedingly, p. 42.
BIRTH OF MOSES.
Ex. 2—1 And there went a man
of the house of Levi, and took to
wife a daughter of Levi.
(Ex. 6—20 And Amram took him
Jochebedhisfather'ssistertowife.
Nu. 26—59 Aud she bare unto
Amram, Aaron and Moses, and
Miriam their sister.)
2 And the woman conceiA^ed,
and bare a son: and when she
saw him that he was a goodly
child, she hid him three months.
3 And when she could not longer
hide him, she took for him an ark
of bulrushes, and daubed it with
slime and with pitch, and put the
child therein; aud she laid it in
the liags by the river's brink.
4 And his sister stood afar off,
to wit what would be done to him.
5 And the daughter of Pharaoli
came down to wash herself at the
the river ; and hermaideus walked
along by the river's side: and
when she saw the ark among the
flags, she sent her maid to fetch
it.
6 And when she had opened it,
she saw the child : and, behold, the
babe wept. And she had compas-
sion on him, and said. This is one
of the Hebrews' children.
7 Then said his sister to Pha-
raoh's daughter, Shall I go and
call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew
women, that she may nurse the
child for thee?
8 And Pharaoh's daughter said
to her. Go. And the maid went
and called the child's mother.
9 And Pharaoh's daughter said
unto her. Take this child away,
and nurse it forme, and I will give
thee thy wages. And the woman
took the child, and nm-sed it.
10 And the child grew, and she
brought him unto Pharaoh's
daughter, and he became her sou.
And she called his name Moses:
and she said. Because 1 drew him
out of the water.
(Ac. 7—22 And Moses was learned
in all the wisdom of the Egyptians,
and was mighty in words and in
deeds.)
11 U And it came to pass in those
days, when Moses was grown, that
he went out uuto his brethren,
and looked on their burdens: and
he spied an Egyptian smiting a
Hebrew, one of nis bretlnen.
12 And he looked this way and
that way, and when he saw that
there was no man, he slew the
Egyptian.and hid him in the sand.
13 And when he went out the
second day, behold, two men of
the Hebrews strove together: and
he said to him that did the wrong.
Wherefore smitest thou thy fel-
low? _ , ,
14 And he said. Who made thee
a prince and a judge over us? in-
tendest thou to kill me, as thou
killedstthe Egyptian? AudMoses
feared, and said, Sui-ely this thing
is known.
15 Now when Pharaoh heard tins
thing, he sought to slay INIoses.
I3ut Moses fled from the face of
Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of
Midian: and he sat down by a
well.
16 Now the priest of Midian had
seven daughters: and they came
and drew water, and tilled the
troughs to water their father's
flock.
17 And the shepherds came and
drove them away: but INIoses
stood up and helped them, and
watered their flock.
18 And when they came to Reuel
their father, he said. How is it
that ye are come so soon to day?
19 And they said, An Egyptian
delivered us out of the hand of
the shepherds.and also drew water
355
enough for us, and watered the
tiock.
20 And he said unto his daugh-
ters, And where is he? why is it
that ye have left the man? call
him, that he may eat bread.
21 And Moses was content to
dwell with the man: and he gave
Moses Zipporah his daughter.
22 And she bare him a son, and
he called his name Gershom: for
he said, I have been a stranger in
a strange land. p. 150.
The Children of Israel to dwell
in booths seven days in the year.
Hence camp meetings, bush meet-
ings.
Le. 23—39 In the fifteenth day of
the seventh month, when ye have
gathered in the friiit of the land,
ye shall keep a feast unto the
Lord seven days: on the first day
shall be a sabbath, and on the
eighth day shall be a sabbath.
40 And ye shall take yoix on the
first day the boughs of goddly
ti'ees, branches of palm trees, and
the boughs of thick trees, .and wil-
lows of the brook; and ye shall
rejoice before the Lord your God
seven days.
41 And ye shall keep it a feast
unto the Lord seven days in the
year: it shall be a statute for ever
in your generations ; ye shall cel-
ebrate it in the seventli month.
42 Ye shall dwell in booths seven
days; all that are Israelites born
shall dwell in booths:
43 That your generations may
know that 1 made the children of
Israel to dwell in booths, when I
broxrght them out of the land of
Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
The rebellion of Korah. An
earthquake swallowed up Korah
and his company. Fire consumed
250 and the plague 14,700.
Nu. 16—1 Now Korah, Dathan
and Abiram took men:
2 And they rose up before Moses,
with certain of the children of Is-
rael, two hundred and fifty princes
of the assembly, famous in the
congregation, men of renown:
3 And they gathered themselves
together against Moses and Aaron,
and said, Ye take too much upon
you, seeing all the congregation
are holy, and the Lord is among
them: wherefore then lift ye up
yourselves above the congrega-
tion of the Lord?
15 And Moses was very wroth,
and said unto the Lord, Respect
not tliou their offering: I have
not taken one ass from them, nei-
ther have I hurt one of them.
16 And Moses said unto Korah,
Be thou and all thy company be-
fore the Lord, thou, and they, and
Aaron, to morrow :
17 And take every man hiscens^
er, and put incense in them, and
bring ye before the Lord every
man his censer, two hundred and
fifty censers ; thou also,and Aaron,
each of you his censer.
18 And they took every man his
censer, and put fire in them, and
laid incense thereon, and stood in
the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation with Moses and Aa-
ron.
20 And the Lord spake unto Mo-
ses and unto Aaron, saying,
21 Separate yourselves from
among this congregation, that I
may consume them in a moment.
27 So they ^at up from the tab-
ernacle of Korah^ Dathan, and
Abiram, on every side: and Dath-
an and Abiram came out, and
stood in the door of their tents,
and their wives, and their sons,
and their little children.
28 And Moses said. Hereby ye
shall know that the Lord hath
sent me to do all these works; for
1 have not done them of mine owu
mind.
29 If these men die the common
death of all men, or if they be
visited after the visitation of all
men; then the Lord hath not
sent me.
31 And it came to pass, as he
had made an end of speaking all
these W(irds,that the ground clave
asunder that was under them :
32 And tlie earth opened her
mouth, and swallowed them up,
and their houses, and all the men
that appertained xmto Korah, and
all their goods.
33 They, and all that appertained
to them, went down alive into
the pit, and the earth closed upon
them: and they perished from
among the congregation.
3.5 And there came out a fire
from the Lord, and consumed
the two Inmdred and fifty men
that offered incense.
356
41 But on the morrow all the
congregation of the children of
Israel murmured against Moses
and against Aaron, saying. Ye
have killed the peopleof the Lord.
44 And the Lord spake unto
Moses, saying,
45 Get you up from among this
congregation, that I may consume
them as in a moment. And they
fell upon their faces.
46 And Moses said imto Aaron,
Take a censer, and put fire therein
from off the altar, and put on in-
cense, and go quickly vinto the
congregation ; and make an atone-
ment for them : for there is wi'ath
gone ovit from the Lord; the
plague is hegun.
47 And Aaron took as Moses com-
manded, and ran into the midst of
the congregation ; and, heliold, the
plague was begun among the peo-
ple: and he put on incense, and
made an atonement forthe people.
48 And he stood between the
dead and the living; and the
plague was stayed.
49 Now they that died in the
plague were fourteen thousand
and seven hundred, besides them
that died about the matter of
Korah.
Zimri, Cozbi, and 24,000 Israe-
lites slain.
Nu. 25—1 And Israel abode in
Shittim, and the people began to
commit whoredom with the
daughters of Moab.
2 And they called the people un-
to the sacrifices of their gods: and
the people did eat, and bowed
down to their gods.
3 And Israel joined himself unto
Baal-peor: and the anger of she
Lord was kindled against Israel.
4 And the Lord said unto Mo-
ses, Take all the heads of the peo-
ple, and hang them up before the
Lord against the sun, that the
fierce anger of the Lord may be
turned away from Lsrael.
5 And Moses said unto the
judges of Israel, Slay ye every
one his men tkat were joined un-
to Baal-peor.
6 And Zimri, one of the chil-
dren of Israel came and brought
unto his brethren Cozbi, a Midia-
nitish woman in the sight of Mo-
ses, and in the sight of all the con-
gregation of the children of Is-
rael, who were weeping before
the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation.
7 And when Phinehas, the son
of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the
priest, saw it, he rose up from
among the congregation, and took
a javelin in his hand;
8 And he went after the man of
Israel into the tent, and thru,st
both of them through, the man of
Israel, and the woman through
her belly. So the plague was
stayed from the children of Israel.
9 And those that died in the
plague were twenty and four
thousand.
10 And the Lord spake unto
Moses, saying,
11 Phinehas, the son of Eleazar,
the son of Aaron the priest, hath
turned my wrath away from the
children of Israel, while he was
zealous for my sake among them,
that 1 consumed not the children
of Israel in my jealousy.
12 Wherefore say. Behold, I give
unto him my covenant of peace :
13 And he shall have it, and his
seed after him, even the covenant
of an everlasting priesthood ; be-
cause he was zealous for his God,
and made an atonement for the
children of Israel.
Sedition of Aaron and Miriam
(see Nu. 26. 59, p. 3,54).
Death of Aaron and Miriam.
Nu. 12—1 And Miriam and Aaron
spake against Moses becau.se of
the Ethiopian woman whom he
had married: for he had married
an Ethiopian woman.
2 And tney said. Hath the Lord
indeed spoken only by Moses?
hath he not spoken also by us?
And the Lord heard it.
3 (Now the man Moses was very
meek, above all the men which
were on the face of the earth.)
4 And the Lord spake suddenly
unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and
unto Miriam, Come out ye three
unto the tabernacle of the con-
gregation. And they three came
out.
5 And the Lord came down in
the pillar of the cloud, and stood
in the door of the tabernacle, and
called Aaron and MMam: and
they both came forth.
6 And he said. Hear now my
words: If there be a prophet
among you, I the Lord will make
myself known imto him in a vis-
357
ion, and will speak unto liim in a
dream.
7 My servant Moses is not so,
who is faithful in all mine house.
8 With him will 1 speak mouth
to mouth, even apparently, and
not in dark speeches; and the si-
militude of the Lord shall he he-
hold; wherefore then were ye not
afraid to speak against my ser-
vant Moses?
9 And the anger of the Lord
was kindled against them; and
he departed.
10 And the cloud departed from
off the tabernacle; and, behold,
Miriam became leprous, white as
snow: and Aaron looked upon
Miriam, and, behold, she was lep-
rous.
11 And Aaron said unto Moses,
Alas, my lord I beseech thee, lay
not the sin upon us, wherein we
have done foolishly, and wherein
we have sinned.
12 Let her not be as one dead,
of whom the liesh is half con-
sumed when he cometh out his
mother's womb.
13 And Moses cried unto the
Lord, saying, Heal her now, O
God, I beseech tliee.
14 And the Lord said unto Mo-
ses, If her father had but spit in
her face, should she not be
ashamed seven days? let her be
shut out from the camp seven
days, and after that let her be re-
ceived in again.
15 And Miriam was shut out
from the camp seven days: and
the people journeyed not till Mir-
iam was brought in agaui.
Nu. 20—1 Then came the chil-
dren of Israel, into the desert of
Zin ; and Miriam died there, and
was buried there.
Nu. 33—38 And Aaron the priest
went up into mount Hor at the
commandment of the Lord, and
died there, in the fortieth year
after the children of Israel were
come out of the land of Egypt, in
the first day of the fifth month.
39 And Aarou was a hundred
and twenty and three years old
when he died in mount Hor.
Samson's marriage ; his riddle ;
30 men slain ; the 300 foxes and
the firebrands; his wife burned
to death, then .Samson " smote
them hip and thigh with a great
slaughter.''
Ju. 14—1 And Samson went
down to Timnatli.
2 And he came, and told hi.s
father and mother, and said. I
have seen a woman in Timnatli
of the daughters of the Philis-
tines: now therefore get her for
me to wife.
4 But his father and his mother
knew not that it was of the Lord,
that he .sought an occasion against
the Philistines: for at that time
the Philistines had dominion over
Israel.
5 Then went Samson down, and
his father and mother, to Tim-
natli: and, behold, a young lion
roared against him.
6 And the Spirit of the Lord
came upon him, and he rent him
as he would have rent a kid.
7 And he went down and talked
with the woman ; and she pleased
Samson well.
8 And after a time he returned
to take her, and he turned aside
to see the carcass of the lion: and.
behold, there was a swarm of
bees and honey in the carcass.
9 And he took thereof in his
hands, and went on eating, and
came to his fatlier and motlier.and
gave them, and they did eat:
10 So his father went down un-
to the woman: and Samson made
there a feast ;
12 IT And Samson said unto
them, I will now put forth a rid-
dle unto you: if ye can declare it
me within the seven days of the
feast, then I will give you thirty
sheets and thirty change of gar-
ments:
13 But if ye cannot declare it
me, then shall ye give me thirty
sheets and thirty change of gar-
ments. And they said unto htnu.
Put forth thy riddle.
14 And he said. Out of the eater
came forth meat, and out of the
strong came forth sweetness.
15 And it came to pass on the
seventh day, that they said unto
Samson's wife. Entice thy luis-
band, tliat he may declare unto
us the riddle, lest we bum thee
and thy father's house with tire.
J7 And she wept before him the
seven days, while their feast last-
ed: and on the .seventh day, he
told her, and she told the riddle
to the children of her people.
18 And the men of the city said
unto liini on the seventh day be-
358
fore the sun went down. What is
sweeter than honey? and what is
stronger than a lion? And he
said unto them. If ye had not
ploughed with my heifer, ye had
not found out my riddle.
19 And the Spirit of the Lord
came upon him, and he went
down to Aslikelon, and slew thirty
men of them, and took their spoil,
and gave change of garments un-
to them which expounded the
riddle. And his auger was kin-
dled, and lie went up to his
fathers house.
20 But Samson's wife was given
to his companion.
Ju. 15—1 But it came to pass
within a while after, in the time
of wheat harvest, that Samson
visited his wife with a kid.
2 And her father, said, I verily
thought that thou hadst utterly
hated her; therefore I gave her
to thy companion: is not her
younger sister fairer than she?
take her, I pray thee, instead of
her.
3 And Samson said conceniing
them. Now shall I be more blame-
less than the Philistines, though
I do them a displeasure.
4 And Samson went and caught
three hundred foxes, and took
firebrands, and tui-ned tail to tail,
and put a firebrand in the midst
between two tails.
5 And when he had set the
brands on fire, he let them go into
the standing com of the Philis-
tines, and burnt up both the
shocks, and also the standaig
com. with the vineyards and
olives.
6 Then the Philistines said.
Who hath done this? And they
answered, Samson, the son in law
of the Timnite. because he had
taken his wife, and given her to
his companion. And the Philis-
tines came up, and burnt her and
her father with fire.
7 And Samson said unto them.
Though ye have done this, yet
will I oe avenged of you, and after
that I will cease.
8 And he smote them hip and
thigh with a great slaughter : and
he went down and dwelt in the
top of the rock Etam. p. 412.
Samson and the harlot at Gaza,
and Delilah who betrayed him.
His death: "So the dead which
he slew at his death were more
than they which he slew in his
life."
Ju. 16—1 Then went Samson to
Gaza, and saw there a harlot, and
went in unto her.
2 And it was told the Gazites,
saying, Samson is come. And
they compassed him in, and laid
wait for him all night in the gate
of the city, saying. In the morning,
when it is day, we shall kill him.
3 And Samson lay till midnight,
and arose, and took the doors of
the gate of the city, and the two
posts, bar and all, and put them
upon his shoulders, and carried
them up to the top of a hill.
4 And it came to pass after-
ward, that he loved a woman,
whose name was Delilah.
5 And the lords of the Philistines
said unto her. Entice him, and
see wherein his great strength
lieth, and by what means we may
prevail against him: and we will
give thee every one of us eleven
hundred pieces of silver.
G And Delilah said to Samson,
Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy
great strength lieth.
7 And Samson said. If they bind
me with seven green withs that
were never dried, then shall I be
weak, and be as another man.
8 Then the lords of the Philis-
tinesbroughtuptohersevengreen
withs, and she bound him with
them.
9 Now there were men lying in
wait, with her in the chamber.
And she said. The Philistines be
upon thee, Samson. And he brake
the witlis, as a thread of tow.
10 And Delilah said, Samson,
thou has mocked me, and told me
lies: now tell me, 1 pray thee,
wherewith thou mightest be
bound.
11 And he said unto her. If they
bind me fast with new ropes that
never were occupied, then shall I
be weak, and be as another man.
12 Delilah therefore took new
ropes, and bound him, and said.
The Philistines be upon thee,
Samson. And he brake them
from off his arms like a thread.
13 And Delilah said. Thou hast
mocked me, and told me lies: tell
me wherewith thou mightest be
bound. And he said. If thou
weavest the seven locks of my
head with the web.
14 And she fastened it with the
359
pm, and said unto him, the Phi-
listines be upon thee, Samson.
And he awaked out of his sleep,
and went away with the pin of
the beam, and with the web.
16 And it came to pass, when she
pressed him daily with her words,
and urged him, so that his soul
was vexed luito death ;
17 That he told her all his heart.
and said imto her. There hath not
<'ome a razor upon mine head ; for
I have been a Kazarite unto God
from my mother's womb : if 1 be
shaven, then my strength will go
from me,and I shall become wealv,
and be like anv other man.
18 And when Delilah saw that lie
had told her all his heart, she
sent and called for the lords of
the Philistines. Then the lords of
tlie Philistines came up unto her,
and brought money in their hand.
19 And she made him sleep upon
her knees; and she called for a
man, and caused him to shave
off the seven locks of his head ;
and his strength went from him.
20 And she said. The Philistines
be upon thee, Samson. And he
awoke out of his sleep, and said, I
will go out as at other times be-
fore, and shake myself. And he
wist not that the Lord was de-
parted from him.
21 But the Philistines took him,
and put out his eyes, and brought
him down to Gaza, and bound
him with fetters of brass; and he
did grind in the prison house.
22 Howbeit the hair of his head
began to grow again.
23 Then the lords of the Philis-
tines gathered them together for
to o<¥er a great sacrifice unto Da-
gon their god, and to rejoice: for
they said. Our god hath delivered
Samson our enemy into our hand.
25 And when their hearts were
meriw, they said. Call for Samson,
that he may make us sport. And
they called for Samson out of the
prison house ; and he made them
sport: and they set him between
the pillars.
26 And Samson said unto the lad
that held him by the hand. Suffer
me that I may feel the pillars
whereupon the house standeth,
that 1 may lean upon them.
27 Now the house was full of
men and women ; and all the lords
of the Philistines were there ; and
there were upon the roof about
three thousand men and women,
that beheld while Samson made
sport.
28 And Samson called unto the
Lord, and said, O Lord, remember
me, I pray thee, and strengthen
me, only this once, that I may be
at once avenged of the Philistines
for my two eyes.
29 And Samson took hold of the
two middle pillars upon which
the house stood, of the one with
his right hand, and of the other
with his left.
30 And Samson said. Let me die
with the Philistines. And he bow-
ed himself with all his might ; and
the house fell upon the lords, and
upon all the people that were
therein. So the dead which he
slew at his death were more than
they which he slew in his life.
31 Then his brethren and all the
house of his father came down,
and brought him up, and buried
him in the buryingplace of Ma-
noah his father. And he judged
Israel twenty years.
DAVID. JONATHAN, AND THE
ARROWS.
If there was to be peace between
Saul and David, .Jonathan would
say, "Behold, the arrows are on
this side of thee," and if not he
would say," Behold, the arrowsare
beyond thee." For the cause of
the trouble between Saul and
David see l Sa. 9. 15-27 ; 10. 1-27 ; 10.
1-23 ; also chapters 17, 18, 19.
1 Sa. 20—18 Then Jonathan said
to David,
20 And 1 will shoot three arrows
on the side thereof, as though I
shot at a mark.
21 And, behold, I will send a lad,
saytng,Go, find out the arrows. If
I expressly say unto the lad. Be-
hold, the arrows are on this side
of thee, take them; then come
thou: for there is peace to thee,
and no hurt ; as the Lord liveth.
22 But if I say thus unto the
young man. Behold, the arrows
are beyond thee ; go thy way: for
the Lord hath sent thee away.
35 H And it came to pass in the
morning, that Jonathan went out
into the field at the time ap-
pointed with David, and a little
lad with him.
360
36 And he said unto his lad,
Run, find out now the arrows
which I shoot. And as the lad
ran, he shot an an-ow beyond
him.
37 And when the lad was come
to the place of the arrow which
Jonathan had shot,Jonathan cried
after the lad, and said. Is not the
arrow beyond thee?
38 And Jonathan cried after the
lad. Make speed, haste, stay not.
And Jonathan's lad gathered up
the arrows.and cametohismaster.
39 But the lad knew not any
thing: only Jonathan and David
knew the matter.
40 And Jonathan gave his artil-
lery unto his lad, and said unto
him. Go, carry them to the city.
41 And as soon as the lad was
gone, David arose out of a place
toward the south, and fell on his
face totheground, and bowed him-
self three times: and they kissed
one another, and wept one with
another, until David exceeded.
42 And Jonathan said to David,
Go in peace, forasmuch as we have
sworn both of us in the name of
the Lord, saying, The Lord be be-
tween me and thee, and between
my seed and thy seed for ever.
And he arose and departed: and
Jonathan went into the city. See
1 Sa. 18. 1-4, p. 421.
David and the shewbread;
eighty-five priests and all the
men, women, and childi'en of the
city of Nob slain by Saul's com-
mand. -
1 Sa. 21—1 Then came David to
Nob to Ahimelech the priest: and
Ahimelech was afraid at the
meeting of David, and said unto
him, Why art thou alone, and no
man with thee?
2 And David said. The king
hath commanded me a business,
and said unto me. Let no man
know any thing of the business
whereabout I send thee.
3 Now therefore what is under
thine hand? give me live loaves
of bread in mine hand.
4 And the priest said. There is
no common bread under mine
hand, but there is hallowed bread ;
if the young men have kept them-
selves at least from women.
5 And David said. Of a truth
women have been kept from us
about the.se three days, since I
came out, and the vessels of the
young men are holy, and the
bread is in a manner common, yea,
though it were sanctified this day.
6 So the priest gave him hal-
lowed bread: for there was no
bread there but the shewbread.
7 Now a certain man of the ser-
vants of Saul was there that day ;
and his name was Doeg, an Ed-
mouite, the chiefest of the herd-
men that belonged to Saul.
8 And David said unto Ahime-
lech, And is there not here under
thine hand spear or sword? for I
have neither brought my sword
nor my weapons with me, because
the king's business required haste.
9 And the priest said. The sword
of Goliath the Philistine, whom
thou slewest in the valley of Elah,
it is liere: if thou wilt take that,
take it. And David .said, There is
none like that ; give it me.
1 Sa. 22—1 David therefore de-
parted thence, and escaped to the
cave Adullam: and when his
brethren and all his father's house
heard it, they went down thither
to him.
2 And everyone that was in dis-
tress, and every one that was in
debt, and every one that was dis-
contented, gathered themselves
unto him ; and he became a cap-
tain over them: and there were
with himabout four hundred men.
11 Then Saul sent to call Ahi-
melech the prie.st, the son of Ahi-
tub, and all nis father's house, the
priests that were in Nob : and they
came all of them to the king.
17 And the king said imto the
footmen that stood about him.
Turn, and slay the priests of the
Lord ; because their hand also is
with David, and becau.se they
knew when he fled, and did not
shew it to me. But the servants
of the king would not put forth
their hand to fall upon the priests
of the Lord.
18 And the king .said to Doeg,
Turn thou, and fall upon the
priests. And Doeg the Edmonite
turned, and he fell upon the
priests, and slew on that day four-
score and five persons that did
wear a liuen ephod.
19 And Nob, the city of the
priests, smote he with the edge of
the .sword, both men and women,
children and sucklings, and oxeu,
and asses, and sheep.

Abuerand Amasa slain by Joab,
general-iu-chief of David's army.
David's curse upon Joab. Abncr
was slain by Joab because David
■was about to make biui general
in his place, and also because he
killed his brother Asahel in bat-
tle (2 8a. 2. 23, p. 423). David ap-
pointed Amasa geueral-in-chief
of his army in place of Joab, be-
cause Joab slew Absalom in bat-
tle (2 Sa. 18. 14. p. 428). Yet Joab
slew Amasa, and thus compelled
David to retain him as his gen-
eral-in-chief. Joab and Amasa
were cousins, and David was
their uncle. SeelOhr.2. 13-17, p. 43.
2 Sa. 3—12 And Abner sent mes-
sengers to David saying. INfake
thy league with me. and, behold,
my hand shall with thee, to bring
about all Israel unto thee.
13 And he said. Well; I will
make a league with thee.
20 So Abner came to David to
Hebron, and twenty men with
him. And David made Abner
and the men that were with him
a feast.
21 And Abner said unto David. I
will arise and go, and will gather
all Israel unto my lord the king,
that they may make a league
with thee, and that thou mayest
reign over all that thine heart
desireth. And David sent Abner
away; and he went in peace.
24 Then Joab came to the king,
and said. What hast thou done?
behold, Abner came unto thee;
why is it that thou hast sent him
away, and he is quite gone?
2.5 Thou knowest Abner the son
of Ner. that he came to deceive
thee, and to know thy going out
and thy coming in, and to know
all that thou doest.
26 And when Joab was come out
from David, he sent messengers
after Abner, which brought him
again from the well of Sirah: but
David knew it not.
27 And when Abner was return-
ed to Hebron, Joab took him aside
in the gate to speak with him
quietly, and smote him there un-
der the fifth rib, that he died, for
the blood of Asahel his brother.
28 And aftei-ward when David
heard it, he said, I and my king-
dom are guiltless before the Lord
for ever from the blood of Abner
the son of Ner:
29 Let it rest on the head of
Joab, and on all his father's hou.se ;
and let there not fail from the
hou.se of Joab one that hath an
issue, or that is a leper, or that
leaneth on a staff, or tliat falleth
on the sword, or that lacketh
bread. _
30 So Joab and Abishai his broth-
er slew Abner, because he had
slain their brother Asahel at Gib-
eon in the battle.
31 And David said to Joab, and
to all the people that were with
him. Rend your clothes, and gird
you with sackcloth, and mourn
before Abner. And king David
himself followed the bier.
32 And they buried Abner in He-
bron: and the king lifted up his
v<iice, and wept at the grave of
Aimer; and all the people wept.
33 And the king lamented over
Abner, and said, Died Abner as a
fool dieth?
:34 Thy hands were not bound,
nor thy feet put into fetters: as a
man falleth before wicked men, so
fellest thou. And all the people
wept again over him.
38 And the king .said unto his
servants, KnoM' ye not that there
is a prince and a great man fallen
this day in Israel?
39 And I am this day weak,
though annointed king; andthese
men the sons of Zeruiah be too
hard for me: the Lord shall re-
ward the doer of evil according to
his wickedness.
2 Sa. 19—11 And kingDavid sent
to Zadok and to Abiathar the
priests, saying. Speak,
13 And say ye to Amasa, Art
tliou not of my bone, and of my
tiesh? God do so to me, and more
also, if thovi be not captain of the
host before me continually in the
room of Joab.
2 Sa. 20—1 Then said King Da-
vid to Amasa, Assemble me the.
menof Judah within three days,
and be thou here present.
9 And JoaV) said to Amasa, Art
thou in health, my brother? And
Joab took Ama.sa 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 sriiote him therewith
in the fifth rib, and shed out his
bowels to the ground, and stnick
him not again; and he died.
362
Amnon, the son of King David,
ravished his half sister Tamar.
Death of Amnon, etc.
2 Sa. 13—1 And Absalom the son
of David had a fair sister, whose
name was Tamar; and Amnon
the son of David loved her.
2 And Amnon was so vexed, that
he fell sick for his sister Tamar;
for she was a virgin; and Amnon
thought it hard for him to do any
tiling to her.
3 But Amnon had a friend,
whose name was Jonadab, the son
of Shimeah David's brother: and
Jonadab was a very subtile man.
4 And he said. Why art thou,
bemg the king's sou, lean from
day to day? wilt thou not tell me?
And Amnon said, I love Tamar,
my brother Absalom's sister.
5 And Jonadab said unto him.
Lay thee down on thy bed, and
make thyself sick: and when thy
father cometh to see thee, say un-
to him, I pray thee, let my sister
Tamar come, and give me meat.
6 So Amnon lay down, and
made himself sick : and when the
king was come to see him, Amnon
said unto the king, 1 pray thee,
let Tamar my sister come, and
make me a couple of cakes in my
sight, that I may eat at her hand.
7 Then David sent home to Ta-
mar, saying. Go now to thy broth-
er Amnon's house, and dress him
meat.
8 So Tamar went to her brother
Amnon's house; and he was laid
down. And she took Hour, and
kneaded it, and made cakes in
his sight, and did bake the cakes.
9 And she took a pan, and
poured them out before him; but
he refused to eat. And Amnon
said. Have out all men from me.
And they went out every man
from him.
10 And Amnon said unto Tamar,
Bring the meat into the chamber,
that I may eat of thine hand.
11 And when she had brought
them unto him to eat, he took hold
of her, and said unto her. Come
lie with me, my sister.
12 And she answered him. Nay,
my brother, do not force me ; for
no such thing ought to be done in
Israel : do not thou this folly.
13 And I, whither shall 1 cause
my shame to go? and as for thee,
thou shalt be as one of the fools in
Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee,
speak unto the king; for he will
not withhold me from thee.
14 Howbeit he would not heark-
en unto her voice: but, being
stronger than she, forced her, and
lay with her.
15 Then Amnon hated her ex-
ceedingly; so that the hatred
wherewith he hated her was
greater than the love wherewith
he had loved her. And Amnon
said unto her. Arise, be gone.
16 And she said unto him. There
is no cause: this evil in sending
me away is greater than the other
that thou didst unto me. But he
would not hearken imto her.
17 Then he called his servant
that ministered unto him, and
said, Put now this woman out from
me, and bolt the door after her.
18 And she had a garment of di-
vers colours upon her: for with
such robes were the king's daugh-
ters that were virgins apparelled.
Then hisservant brought her out,
and bolted the door after her.
19 And Tamar put ashes on her
head, and rent ner garment of
divers colours that was on her,
aad laid her hand on her head,
and went on crying.
20 And Absalom her brother said
unto her. Hath Amnon thy broth-
er been with thee? but hold now
thy peace, my sister: he is thy
brother; regard not this thing.
So Tamar remained desolate in
her brother Absalom's house.
21 But when kuig David heard
of all these things, he was very
wroth.
22 And Absalom spake unto his
brother Amnon neither good nor
bad: for Absalom hated Amnon,
because he had forced his sister
Tamar.
23 And it came to pass after two
years, that Absalom had sheei>
shearers in Baal-hazor, and in-
vited all the king's sons. 1 Chr. 3.
28 Now Absalom had command-
ed his servants, saying, Mark ye
now when Amnon's heart is
merry with wine, and when I say
unto you. Smite Amnon; then
kill him, fear not: have not I
commanded you?
29 And the servants of Absalom
did unto Amnon as Absalom had
commanded. Then all the king's
sons arose, and every man gat
him up upon his mule, and fled.
363
38 And Absalom fled, and went
to Geshur, and was there three
years.
2 Sa. 14—23 So Joab arose and
went to Geshur, and brought
Absalom to Jerusalem.
25 But in all Israel there was
none to be so much praised as Ab-
salom for his beauty: from the
sole of his foot even to the crown
of his head there was no blemish
in him.
26 And when he polled his head,
(for it was at every year's end that
he polled it ; because the hair was
heavy on him, therefore he polled
it:) he weighed the hair of his
head at two hundred shekels after
the king's weight.
27 And unto Absalom there were
born three sons, and one daughter,
whose name was Tamar: she
was a woman of a fair counte-
nance.
28 So Absalom dwelt two full
years in Jerusalem, and saw not
the king's face.
33 So Joab came to the king, and
told him : and when he had called
for Absalom, he came to the king,
and bowed himself on his face to
the ground before the king: and
the king kissed Absalom.
The Lord caused David to num-
ber the people of Israel, and for
so doing he slew 70,000 of them by
a pestilence: and, as an angel was
destroying Jerusalem, the Lord
repented, and stayed his hand.
1 Chr. 21—1 And Satan stood up
against Israel, and provoked Da-
vid to number Israel.
(2 Sa. 24—1 And again the anger
of the Lord waskmdled against
Israel, and he moved David
against them to say. Go, number
Israel and Judah.)
2 And David said to Joab and to
the i-ulers of the people, Go, num-
ber Israel.
5 And Joab gave the sum of
the number of the people unto
David. And all they of Israel
were a thousand thousand and a
hundred thousand men that drew
sword: and Judah was four hun-
dred threescore and ten thousand
men that drew sword.
6 But Levi and Benjamin count-
ed he not among them: for the
king's word was abominable to
Joab.
(2 Sa. 24—9 And Joab gave up the
sum of the number of the people
unto the king: and there were iu
Israel eight hundred thousand
valiant men that drew the sword ;
and the men of Judah were five
hundred thousand men.)
7 And God was displeased with
this thing; therefore he smote Is-
rael.
(2Sa. 24—11 For when David was
up in the morning, the word of the
Lord came unto the prophet Gad,
David's seer, saying,
12 Go and say unto David, Tlius
saith the Lord, I offer thee three
things; choose thee one of them,
that 1 may do it unto thee.)
12 Either three years' famine:
or three mouths to be destroyed
before thy foes, while that the
sword of thine enemies overtak-
eth thee; or else three days tlie
sword of the Lord, even the pesti-
lence, in the land, and the angel
of the Lord destroying through-
out all the coasts of Israel.
13 And David said unto Gad, I
am in a great strait: let me fall
now into the hand of the Lord ;
for very great are his mercies:
but let me not fall into the hand
of man.
14 So the Lord sent pestilence
upon Israel: and there fell of Is-
rael seventy thousand men.
15 And God sent an angel unto
Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he
was destroying, the Lord beheld,
and he repented him of the evil,
and said to the angel that destroy-
ed. It is enough, stay now thine
hand. And the angel of the Lord
stood by the threshingtioor of Or-
uan the Jebusite.
16 And David saw the angel of
the Lord stand between the eaj:th
and the heaven, having a drawn
sword in his hand stretched out
over Jerusalem. Then David and
the elders of Israel, clothed iu
.sackcloth, fell upon their faces.
17 And David said unto God, Is
it not 1 that commanded the peo-
ple to be numbered? but as for
these sheer), what have they
done? let thine hand, I pray thee,
be on me, and on my father's
house ; but not on thy people.
18 Then the angel of the Lord
commanded Gad to say to David,
Go up, and set up an altar unto
the Lord in the threshingfloor of
Oman the Jebusite.
364
19 And David went up at the
saying of Gad.
20 And Oman turned back, d^d
saw tlie angel ; and his four sons
with liim hid themselves. Now
Oman was threshmg wheat.
21 And as David came toOruan,
Oman looked and saw David, and
went out of the threshiuglioor,
and bowed himself to David.
22 Then David said to Oman,
Grant me the place of thisthresh-
ingfloor, that 1 may build an altar
therein unto the Lord.
23 And Oman said. Take it, and
let my lord the king do that
which is good in his eyes: lo, I
give thee the oxen also tor bui-nt
offerings, and the thresliing instm-
ineiits for wood, and the wheat for
the meat offering; I give it all.
24 And king Davidsaid to Oman,
Nay; but l will buy it for the full
price: for I will not take that
which is thine for the Lord, nor
offer biuiit offerings withovit cost.
25 So David gave to Oman for
the place six hundred shekels of
gold by weight.
(2 Sa. 24—24 And the king said
unto Arauuah, Nay; but I will
buy it of thee at a price: neither
will I offer bui-nt offerings unto
the Lord of that which doth cost
me nothing. So David bought the
threshiugtioor and the oxen for
fifty shekels of silver.)
26 AndDavidbuilt there an altar
tmto the Lord, and offered burnt
offerings and peace offerings, and
called upon the Lord; and he
answered him from heaven by tire
upon the altar of burnt offeriiig.
27 And the Lord commanded
the angel ; and he put up hissword
again mto the sheath tliereof .

Solomon annoiuted king. His
first official act was to have his
brother Adonijah put to death,
because he wanted the beautiful
Abishag.a Shuuammite,the wom-
an that Solomon wanted himself.
Solomon loved by the Lord, and
chosen by him to be king over all
Israel. 2 Sa. 12. 24 and l Chr. 22. 9.

1 Ki. 1—1 Now king David was
old and stricken in years; and
they covered him with clothes,
but he gat no heat.
2 Wherefore his servants said
unto him. Let there be sought for
my lord the king a young virgin :
and let her stand before the king,
and let her cherish him, and let
her lie in thy bosom, that my lord
the king may get heat.
3 So they sought for a fair dam-
sel throughout all the coasts of
Israel, ana found Abishag a Shu-
nammite, and brought her to the
king.
4 And the damsel was very fair,
and cherished the king, and min-
istered to him: but the king knew
her not.
5 Then Adonijah the sou of Hag-
gith exalted himself, saying. 1
will be king: and he prepared
him chariots and horsemen, and
tity men to run before him.
7 And he conferred with Joab
the son of Zeruiah, and with
Abiathar the priest: and they fol-
lowing Adonijah helped him.
24 And Nathan said. My lord, O
king, hast thou said, Adonijah
shall reign after me, and he shall
sit upon my throne?
2.5 For he is gone down this day.
and hath slam oxen and fat cat-
tle and sheep in abundance, and
hath called all the king's sons,
and the captains of the host, and
Abiathar the priest ; and, behold,
they eat and drink before him,
and say, God save king Adonijah.
26 But me, even me thy servant,
and Zadok the priest, and Beuaiah
the son of Jehoiada, and thy serv-
ant Solomon, hath he not called,
28 Then king David answered
and said.CallmeBath-sheba. And
she came into the king's presence,
and stood before the king.
29 And the kingsware, and said.
As the Lord liveth. that hath re-
deemed my soul out of all dis-
tress.
30 Even as I sware vmto thee by
the Lord God of Israel, saying,
Assui'edly Solomon thy son shall
reign after me, and he shall sit up-
on my throne in my stead ; even
so will I certainly do this day.
31 Then Beth-sueba bowed with
her face to the earth. &nd did
reverence to the king, and said.
Let my lord king David live for
ever.
365
3_' And king David said. Call
me Zadok the priest, and Nathan
the prophet, and Benaiah the son
of Jehoiada. And they came be-
fore the king.
33 The king also said nnto them,
Take with yon the servants of
your lord, and cause Solomon my
son to ride upon mine own mule,
and bring him down to Gihon:
3i And let Zadok the priest and
Nathan the prophet anoint him
there king over Israel: and blow
ye with the trumpet, and say, God
save king Solomon.
39 And Zadok the priest took a
horn of oil out of the tabernacle,
and anointed Solomon. And they
blew the trumpet : and all the peo-
ple said, God save king Solomon.
40 And all the people came up
after him, and the people piped
with pipes, and rejoiced with
great joy, so that the earth rent
with the sound of them.
50 And Adonijah feared because
of Solomon, and arose, and went,
and caught hold on the horns of
the altar.
51 And it was told Solomon say-
ing,Behold, Adoniiah feareth king
Solomon ; tor, lo, he hath caught
hold on the horns of the altar, say-
ing, Let king Solomon swear unto
me to day that he will not slay his
servant with the sword.
52 And Solomon said, If he will
shew himself a worthy man, there
shall not a hair of him fall to the
earth: but if wickedness shall be
found in him, he shall die.
53 So king Solomon sent, and
they brought him down fi'om the
altar. And he came and bowed
himself to king Solomon: and
Solomon said unto him. Go to
thine house. [
1 Ki. 2—1 Now the dayis of David
drew nigh that he should die ; and
he charged Solomon his son, say-
ing.
2 1 go the way of all the earth:
be thou strong therefore, and
shew thyself a man:
3 And keep the charge of the
Lord thy God, to walk in his
ways, to keep his statutes, and his
commandments, and his judg-
ments, and his testimonies, as it
is written in the law of Moses,
that thou mayest prosper in all
that thou doest, and whitherso-
ever thou tuniest thyself:
4 That the Lord may continue
his word which he spake concern-
ing me, saying. If thy childreu
take lieed to their way, to walk
before me in truth with all their
heart and with all their soul, there
shall not fail thee (said he) a man
on the throne of Israel.
5 Moreover thou knowest also
what Joabthe son of Zeruiah did
to me, and what he did to the two
captains of the hosts of Israel, mi-
to Abner the son of Ner, and unto
Amasa the son of Jetlier, whom
he slew, and shed the blood of war
in peace, l Sa. 3 and 20, p. 361.

6 Do therefore according to tny
wisdom, and let not his hoar head
go down to the grave in peace.
10 So David slept with his fa-
thers, and was bm'ied in the city
of David.
U And the days that David
reigned over Israel were forty
Sears: seven years reigned he in
[ebron, and thirty and three
vears reigned he in Jerusalem. 2
Sa. 5. 5.
12 Then sat Solomon upon the
throne of David his father ; and
his kingdom was established.
13 And Adonijah the son of Hag-
gith came to Bath-sheba the
mother of Solomon. And she
said, Comcst thou peaceably? And
he said. Peaceably,
17 And he said. Speak, I pray
thee, unto Solomon the king, (for
he will not say thee nay,) that he
give me Abishag the Shunam-
mite to wife. SS. 6. 13, p. 174.
18 And Bath-sheba said. Well;
I will speak for thee.
19 Bath-sheba therefore went
imto king Solomon. And the king
rose up to meet her, and bowed
himself unto her, and sat down on
his throne, and caused a seat to
be set for the king's mother; and
she sat on his right hand.
20 Then she said, I desire one
small petition of thee ; I pray thee,
say me not nay^ And the king
said unto her. Ask on, my mother;
for I will not say thee nay.
21 And she said. Let Abishag
the Shunammite be given to
Adonijah thy brother to wife.
22 And king Solomon said. And
why dost thou ask Abishag the
Shunammite for Adonijah? ask
for him the kingdom also ; for he
is mine elder brother.
366
23 Then king Solomon sware by
tlie Lord, saying, God do so to
me, and more also, if Adonijah
liave not spoken this word against
his own lite.
25 And king Solomon sent by the
hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoi-
ada ; and he fell upon him that he
died.
29 And it was told king Solomon
that Joab was fled unto the taber-
nacle of the LoKD- and, behold,
lie is by the altar. Then Solomon
sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada,
saying. Go, fall upon him.
31 So Benaiah thesonof Jehoiada
went up, and fell upon him, and
slew hmi: and he was buried in
his own house in the wilderness.
' Solomon's Temple, seven years
in building, finished and dedi-
cated in the year, 1004 B.C., de-
stroyed by the Chaldeans 588 B.C.,
see 2 Ki. 25. 9, p. 35. Rebuilt by
Zerubbabel 520, B.C., see Ezr. 1 and
3. 8, and Hag. l and 2,also Eze. 40-44.
Herod began to rebuild or enlarge
the Temple 20 B.C., and finished
the work m eight years. The Tem-
ple was destroyed by the Romans
imder Titus in the year 70, and
not since rebuilt.
2 Sa. 7—1 And it came to pass,
when the king sat in his house,
and the Lord had given him rest
round about from all his enemies ;
2 That the king said unto Nathan
the prophet. See now, I dwell in
a house of cedar, but the ark of
God dwelleth within curtains.
See 2 Sa. 5. 11, p. 120.
4 And it came to pass that night,
that the word of the»LoRD came
unto Nathan, saying,
5 Go and tell my servant David,
Thus saith the Lord, Shalt thou
build me a house for me to dwell
in? , , .
6 Wliereas I have not dwelt m
any house since the time that I
brought up the children of Israel
out of Egypt, even to this day,
but have walked in a tent and in
a tabernacle.
7 In all the places wherein I have
-walked with all the children of Is-
rael spake I a word with any of
the tribes of Israel, whom I com-
manded, saying, Why build ye
not me a house of cedar?
8 Now therefore so shalt thou
say unto my servant David, Thus
saith the Lord of hosts, I took
thee from the sheepcote, from
following the sheep, to be ruler
over my people, over Israel :
9 And I was with thee whither-
soever thou wentest, and have
cut off all thine enemies out of
thy sight, and have made thee a
great name, like unto the name
of the great men that are in the
earth.
12 And when thy days be ful-
filled, and thou shalt sleep with
thy fatbers, I will set up thy seed
after thee, which shall proceed
out of thy boM'els, and I will es-
tablish his kingdom.
13 He shall build a house for
my name, and I will stablish the
throne of his kingdom for ever.
14 I will be his father, and he
shall be my son. If he commit
iniquity, I will chasten him with
the rod of men, and with the
stripes of the children of men:
15 But my mercy shall not de-
part away from him, as I took
it from Saul, whom I put away
before thee.
16 And thine house and thy
kingdom shall be established for
ever before thee : thy throne shall
be established for ever. Ps. 89, p.
286.
1 Chr. 22—5 And David said, Solo-
mon my son is young and tender,
and the house that is to be builded
for the Lord must be exceeding
magnifical, of fame and of glory
throughout all countries: I will
therefore now make preparation
for it. So David prepared abim-
dantly before his death. •
7 And David said to Solomon,
My son, as for me, it was in my
mmd to build a house unto the
name of the Lord my God:
8 But the word of the Lord
came to me, saying. Thou hast
shed blood abundantly, and hast
made great wars: thou shalt not
build a house unto my name, be-
cause thou hast shed much blood
upon the earth in my sight.
9 Behold, a son shall be bom to
thee, who shall be a man of rest ;
and I will give him rest from all
his enemies round about: for his
name shall be Solomon, and I will
give peace and quietness unto Is-
rael in his days.
10 He shall build a house for my
name : and he shall be my son, and
I will be his father ; and I will es-
367
tablish the throne of his kiugdom
over Israel for ever.
U Now, behold, in my trouble
I have prepared for the house of
the Lord a hundred thousand tal-
ents of gold, and a thousand thou-
sand talents of silver ; and of brass
and iron without weight ; for it is
in abundance: timber also and
stone have I prepared ; and thou
mayest add thereto.
1 Chr. 28—11 Then David gave to
Solomon his son the pattern of
the porch, and of the houses there-
of, and of the treasuries, and of
the upper chambers, and of the
inner parlours, and of the place of
the mercy seat.
12 And the pattern of all that he
had by the Spirit, of the courts of
the house of the Lord, and of all
the chambers round about, of the
treasuries of the house of God,
and of the treasuries of the dedi-
cated tilings:
13 AJso for the courses of the
priests and the Levites, and for all
the work of the service of the
house, and for all the vessels of
service in tlie house of the Lord.
14 He gave of gold by weight for
things of gold, for all instruments
of all manner of service; silver
also for all instruments of silver
by weight, for all instruments of
every kind of service:
15 Even the weight for the can-
dlesticks of gold, and for their
lamps of gold, by weight for every
candlestick, and for the lamps
thereof: and for the candlesticks
of silver by weight, both for the
candlestick, and also for the
lamps thereof.
16 And by weight he gave gold
for the tables of shrewbread, for
every table; and likewise silver
for the tables of silver:
17 Also pure gold for the flesh-
hooks, and the bowls, and the
cups: and for the golden basins
he gave gold by weight for every
basin; and likewise silver by
weight for every basin of silver:
18 And for the altar of incense
refined gold by weight; and gold
for the pattern of the chariot of
the cherubim, that spread out
their wings, and covered the ark
of the covenant of the Lord.
19 All this, said David, the Lord
made me understand in writing
by his hand upon me, even all the
works of this pattern.
1 Chr. 29—1 Furthermore David
the king said unto all the congre-
gation, Solomon my son, whom
alone God hath chosen, is yet
young and tender, and the work
IS great: for the palace is not for
man, but for the Lord God.
2 Now I have prepared with all
my might for tlie house of my God
the gold for things to be made of
gold, and the silver for things of
silver, and the brass for things of
brass, the iron for things of iron,
and wood ^or things of wood;
onyx stones, and stones to be set,
glistering stones, and of divers
coloui'S, and all manner of pre-
cious stones, and marble stones in
abundance.
3 Moreover, because 1 have set
my affection to the house of my
God, 1 have of mine own proper
good, of gold and silver, wnicn 1
have given to the house of my
God, over and above all that I
have prepared for the holy liouse,
4 Even three thousand talents of
gold, of the gold of Ophir, and
seven thousand talents of refined
silver, to overlay the walls of the
houses withal :
6 Then the chief of the fathers
and princes of the tribes of Israel,
and the captains of thousands and
of hundreds, with the rulers of
the kmg's work, offered willingly,
7 And gave, for the service of
the house of God, of gold five
thousand talents and ten thou-
sand drams, and of silver ten thou-
sand talents, and of brass eighteen
thousand talents, and one hun-
dred thousand talents of iron.
8 And they with whom precious
stones were found gave them to
the treasure of the house of the
Lord.
9 Then the people rejoiced, for
that they offered willingly, be-
cause with perfect heart they of-
fered willingly to the Lord: and
David the kmg also rejoiced with
great joy.
1 Ki. 5—1 And Hiram king of
Tyre sent his servants unto Solo-
mon; for he had heard that they
had anointed him king in the
room of his father : for Hiram was
ever a lover of David.
2 And Solomon sent to Hiram,
saying,
3 Thou knowest how that David
my father could not build a house
unto the name of t^ve Lord his
368
God, for the wars which were
about him on every side, imtil the
Lord put them under the soles of
his feet.
5 And, behold, I purpose to build
a house unto the name of the
Lord my God, as the Lord spake
unto David my father, saying.
Thy son, whom 1 will set upon
thy throne in thy room, he shall
build a house unto my name.
6 Now therefore command thou
that they hew me cedar trees out
of Lebanon ; andmyservantsshall
be with thy servants: and unto
thee will I ^ive hire for thy serv-
ants according to all that thou
shalt appoint: for thou knowest
that there is not among us any
that can skill to hew timber like
unto the Sidoniaus.
7 If And it came to pass, when
Hiram heard the words of Solo-
mon, that he rejoiced greatly, and
said. Blessed be the Lord this day,
which hath given unto David a
wise .son over this great people.
8 And Hiram sent to Solomon,
saying, I have considered the
things which thou sentest to me
for: and 1 will do all thy desire
concerning timber of cedar, and
concerning timber of fir.
9 My servants shall bring them
down from Lebanon unto tlie sea;
and I will convey them by sea in
floats unto the place that thou
shalt appoint me, and will cause
them to be discharged there, and
thou shalt receive them : and thou
shalt accomplish my desire, in
giving food for my household.
10 So Hiram gave Solomon cedar
trees and fir trees according to all
his desire.
11 And Solomon gave Hiram
twenty thousand measures of
wheat for food to his household,
and twenty measures of pure oil:
thus gave Solomon to Hiram year
by year.
13 IT And king Solomon raised
a levy out of all Israel; and the
levy was thirty thousand men.
14 And he sent them to Lebanon,
ten thousand a month by courses:
a month they were in Lebanon,
and two months at home.
15 And Solomon had threescore
and ten thousand that bare bur-
dens, and fourscore thousand hew-
ers in the mountains ;
16 Besides the chief of Solomon's
ofScers which were over the work.
three thousand and three Inin-
dred, which ruled over the people
that wrought in the work.
17 And the king commanded,
and they brought great .stones,
costly stones, and hewed stones, to
lay the foundation of the house.
18 And Solomon's builders and
Hiram's builders did hew them,
and the stonesquarers: so they
prepared timber and stones to
build the house.
2 Chr. 3—1 Then Solomon began
to build the house of the Lord
at Jerusalem in mount Moriah,
where the Lord appeared unto
David his father, intlie place that
David had prepared in tlie thre.sh-
ingfloor of Oman the Jebusite. 1
Chr. 21. 22, p. 364.
1 Ki. 6—1 And it came to pass in
the four hundred and eightieth
year after the children of Israel
were come out of the land of
Egypt, in the fourth year of Solo-
mon's reign over Israel, in the
month Zif, which is the second
month, that he began to build the
house of the Lord.
2 And the house which king Sol-
omon built for the Lord, the
length thereof was threescore cu-
bits, and the breadth thereof
twenty cubits, and the height
thereof thirty cubits.
3 And the porch before the tem-
ple of the house, twenty cubits
was the length thereof, according
to the breadth of the house; and
ten cubits was the breadth thereof
before the house.
4 And for the house he made
windows of narrow lights.
5 IF And against the wall of the
house he built chambers round
about, both of the temple and of
the oracle: and he made cham-
bers round about.
6 The nethermost chamber was
five cubits broad, and the middle
was six cirbits broad, and the third
was seven cubits broad : for with-
out in the wall of the house he
made narrowed rests round about,
that the beams should not be fast-
ened in the walls of the house.
7 And the house, when it was in
building, was built of stone made
ready before it was brought thith-
er : so that there was neither ham-
mer nor axe nor any tool of iron
heard in the house, while it was
in building.
8 The door for the middle cham-
3C9
ber was in the right side of the
liduse: and they went up with
winding stairs into the middle
chamber, and out of tlie middle
into the third.
9 So he bi^ilt the house, and fin-
ished it; and covered the house
with beams and boards of cedar.
10 And then he built chambers
against all the house, live cubits
high: and they rested on the
house with timber of cedar.
14 So Solomon built the house,
and finished it.
15 And he built the walls of the
house within with boardsof cedar,
both the floor of the house, and
the walls of the ceiling: and he
covered them on the inside with
wood, and covered the floor of the
house with planks of tir.
16 And he built twenty cubits on
the .sides of the house, both the
floor and the walls with boards
of cedar: he even built them for
it within, even for the oracle,
even for the most holy place.
17 And the house, that is, the
temple before it, was forty cubits
long.
18 And the cedar of the house
within was carved with knops and
open flowers: all was cedar ; there
was no stone seen.
19 And the oracle he prepared
in the house within, to set there
the ark of the covenant of the
Lord.
20 And the oracle in the forepart
was twenty cubits in length, and
twenty cubits in breadth, and
twenty cubits in the height there-
of : and he overlaid it with pure
gold; and so covered the altar
which was of cedar.
21 So Solomon overlaid the house
within with pure gold: and he
made a partition by the chains of
gold before the oracle; and he
overlaid it with gold.
22 And the whole house he over-
laid with gold, until he had fin-
i.shed all the house : also the whole
altar that was by the oracle he
overlaid with gold.
23 II And within the oracle he
made two cherubim of olive tree,
each ten cubits high.
24 And five cubits was the one
wing of the cherub, and five cu-
bits the other wing of the cherub :
from the uttermost part of the
one wing imto the uttermost part
of the other were ten cubits.
2.5 And the other cherub was ten
cubits; both the cherubim were
of one measure and one size.
2G The height of the one cherub
was ten cubits, and so was it of
the other cherub.
27 And he set the cheriibim
within the inner house: and they
stretched forth the wings of the
cherubim, so that the wing of the
one touched the one wall, and the
wing of the other cheriib touched
the other wall; and their wings
touched one another in the mid.st
of the house.
28 And he overlaid the cherubim
with gold.
29 And he carved all the walls of
the house round about with carved
tiguresof cherubim and palm trees
and open flowers, within and
without.
30 And the floor of the house he
overlaid with gold, within and
without.
31 If And for the entering of the
oracle he made doors of olive tree :
the lintel and side posts were a
flfth part of the wall.
32 The two doors also were of
olive tree; and he carved upon
them carvings of cherubim and
palm trees and open flowers, and
overlaid them with gold, and
spread gold upon the cherubim,
and upon the palm trees.
33 So also made he for the door
of the temple posts of olive tree, a
fourth part of the wall.
34 And the two doors were of flr
tree: the two leaves of the one
door were folding, and the two
leaves of the other door were
folding.
35 And he carved thereon cheru-
bim and palm trees and ojjen
flowers: and covered them with
gold fitted upon tlie carved work.
3611 And he built the inner coiirt
with three rows of hewed stone,
and a row of cedar beams.
37 IT In the fourth year was the
foundation of the house of the
Lord laid, in the month Zif :
38 And in the eleventh year, in
the month Bui, which is the
eighth month, was the house fin-
ished throughout all the parts
thereof, and according to all the
fashion of it. So was he seven
years in building it.
1 Ki. 7—1 But Solomon was build-
ing his own house thirteen years,
and he finished all his house.
370
2 IT He built also the house of
the forest of Lebanon : the length
thereof was a hundred cubits, and
the breadth thereof fifty cubits,
and the height thereof thirty cu-
bits, upon four rows of cedar pil-
lars, with cedar beams upon the
pillars.
3 And it was covered with cedar
above upon the beams, that lay on
forty five pillars, fifteen in a row.
4 And there were windows in
three rows, and light was against
light in three ranks.
5 And all the doors and posts
were square, with the windows:
and liglit was against light in
three ranks.
6 IT And he made a porch of pil-
lars; the length thereof was fifty
cubits, and the breadth thereof
thirty cubits: and the porch was
before them: and the other pil-
lars and the thick beam were oe-
fore them.
7 IT Then he made a porch for
the throne where he might judge,
even the porch of judgment: and
it was covered with cedar from
one side of the floor to the other.
8f And his house where he dwelt
had another court within the
porch, which wasof the like work,
bolomon made also a house for
Pharaoh's daughter, whom he
had taken to wife, like unto this
porch.
9 All these were of co.stly stones,
according to the measures of
hewed stones, sawed with saws,
within and without, even from
the foundation unto the coping,
and so on the outside toward the
great court.
10 And the foundation was of
costly stones, even great stones,
stones of ten cubits, and stones oi
eight cubits.
11 And above were costly stones,
after the measures of hewed
stones, and cedars.
12 And the great court round
about was with tliree rows of
hewed stones, and a row of cedar
beams, both for the inner court of
the house of the Lord, and for
the porch of the house.
13 If And king Solomon sent and
fetched Hiram out of Tyre.
14 He was a widow's son of the
tribe of Naphtali, and his father
was a man of Tyre, a worker in
brass: and he was filled with wis-
dom,and understanding, and cun-
ning to work all works in brass.
And he came to king Solomon,
and wrought all his work.
15 For ne cast two pillars of
brass, of eighteen cubits high
apiece: and a line of twelve cu-
bits did compass either of them
about.
16 And he made two chapiters
of molten brass, to set upon the
tops of the pillars: the height of
the one chapiter was five cubito,
and the height of the other chap-
ter was five cubits:
17 And nets of check erwork, and
wreaths of chain work, for the
chapiters which were upon the
top of the pillars; seven for the
one chapiter, and seven for the
other chapiter.
18 And he made the pillars, and
two rows round about upon the
one network, to cover the chapi-
ters that were upon the top, with
pomegranates: and so did he for
the other diapiter.
19 And the chapiters that were
upon the top of the pillars were of '
lily work in the porch, four cubits.
20 And the chapiters upon the
two pillars had pomegranates al-
so above, over against the belly
which was by the network: and
the pomegranates were two hun-
dred in rows round about upon
the other chapiter.
21 And he set up the pillars in
the porch of the temple : and he
set up the right pillar, and called
the name thereof . J achin: and he
set up the left pillar, and called
the name thereof Boaz.
22 And upon the top of the pil-
lars was lily work: so was the
work of the pillars finished.
23 H And he made a molten sea,
ten cubits from the one brim to
the other: it was round all about,
and his height was five cubits:
and a line of thirty cubits did
compass it round about.
24' And under the brim of it
round about there were knops
compassing it, ten in a cubit, com-
passing the sea round about: the
knops were cast in two rows,
when it was cast.
25 It stood upon twelve oxen,
three looking toward the north,
and three looking toward the
west, and three looking toward
the south, and three looking to-
ward the east: and the sea was
set above upon them, and all
their hinder parts were inward.
26 And it was a handbreadth
371
thick, and the brim thereof was
wrought like the brim of a cup,
with flowers of lilies: itcoutaiued
two thousand baths.
27 II Aud he made ten bases of
brass; four cubits was the length
of one base, and four cubits the
breadth thereof, and three cubits
the height of it.
28 And the work of the bases
was on this manner: they had
borders, and the borders were
between the ledges:
29 Aud on the borders that were
between the ledges were lions,
oxen, aud cherubim: aud upon
the ledges there was a base above :
and beneath the lions and oxeu
were certain additions made of
thin work.
■30 Aud every base had four
brazen wheels, aud plates of
brass: and the four corners there-
of had undersetters: under the
laver were undersetters molten,
at the side of every addition.
31 And the mouth of it within
the chapiter and above was a cu-
bit: but the mouth thereof was
rovmd after the work of the base,
a cubit and a half: and also upon
the mouth of it were gravings
with their borders, foursquare,
not round.
32 And under the borders were
four wheels; and the axletrees of
the wheels were joined to the
base: and the height of a wheel
was a cubit aud half a cubit.
33 Aud the work of the wheels
was like the work of a chariot
wheel: their axletrees, and their
naves, and their felloes, and their
spokes, were all molten.
34 And there were four under-
setters to the four corners of one
base: aud the undersetters were
of the very base itself.
35 And in the top of the base was
there a round compass of half a
cubit high: and on the top of the
base the ledges thereof aud the
borders thereof were of the same.
36 For on the plates of the ledges
thereof, aud on the borders there-
of, he graved cherubim, lions,
and palm trees, according to the
proportion of every one, aud ad-
ditions round about.
37 After this mauuer he made
the ten bases: all of them had
one casting, one measure, and
one size.
38 Tt Then made he ten lavers of
brass: one laver contained forty
baths: and every laver was four
cubits: aud upon every one of the
ten bases one laver.
39 And he put live bases on the
right side of the hou.se, and live
on the left side of the house: and
he set the sea on the right side of
the house eastward, over against
the south.
40 H And Hiram made the la-
vers, and the shovels, aud the ba-
sins. So Hiram made an end of
doing all the work that he made
king Solomon for the house of the
Lord:
41 The two pillars, and the two
bowls of the chapiters that were
on the top of the two pillars ; and
the two networks, to cover the
two bowls of the chapiters which
were upon the top of the pillars;
42 Aud four hundred pomegran-
ates for the two networks, eveu
two rows of pomegranates for one
network, to cover the two bowls
of the chapiters that were upon
the pillars;
43 Aud the ten bases, and ten
lavers on the bases ;
44 Aud one sea, and twelve oxen
under the sea ;
45 And the pots, and the shovels,
and the basins: and all these ves-
sels, which Hiram made to king
Solomon for the house of the
Lord, were of bright brass.
46 In the plain of Jordan did the
king cast them, in the clay ground
between Succoth aud Zarthan.
47 And Solomon left all the ves-
sels uu weighed, because they were
exceeding many : neither was the
weight of the brass found out.
48 And Solomon made all the
vessels that pertained unto the
house of the Lord; the altar of
gold, aud the table of gold, where-
upon the shrewbread was,
49 And the candlesticks of pure
gold, five on the right side, and
five on the left, before the oracle,
with the flowers, and the lamps,
and the tongs of goW.
50 And the bowls, aud the snuff-
ers, aud the basins, and the spoons,
and the censers of pure gold; and
the hinges of gold, both for the
doors of the inner house, the most
holy place, and for the doors of the
house, to wit, of the temiile.
51 So was ended all the work
that king Solomon made for the
house of the Lord. Aud Solomon
372
■broiaght in the things which Da-
vidhis fatherhad dedicated ; even
tlie silver, and the gold, and the
vessels, did he put among the
treasures of the house of theLoRD.
Dedication of the temple, see l
Ki. 8. For another account of the
building and dedication of the
temple see 2 Chr. 2 to 7.
I Ki. 9—10 And it came to pass
at the end of twenty years, when
Solomon had built the two houses,
the house of the Lord, and the
king's house,
II (Now Hiram thekin^ of Tyre
had mrnished Solomon withcedar
trees and tir trees, and with gold,
according to all his desire,) that
then king Solomon gave Hiram
twenty cities in the land of
Galilee.
12 And Hiram came out from
Tyre to see the cities which Solo-
mon had given him; and they
pleased him not.
13 And he said. What cities are
these which thou hast given me,
my brother? And he called them
the land of Cabul unto this day.
"The queen of Sheba heard of
the fame of Solomon, and she
came to Jerusalem with a very
great train."
1 Ki. 10—1 And when the queen
of Sheba heard of the fame of
Solomon concerning the name of
the Lord, she came to prove him
with hard questions.
2 And she came to Jerusalem
with a very great train, with
camels that bare spices, and very
much gold, and precious stones:
and M'hen she was come to Solo-
mon, she communed with him of
all that was in her heart.
3 And Solomon told her all her
qiiestions: there was not any
thing hid from the king, which
he told her not.
4 And when the queen of Sheba
had seen all Solomon's wisdom,
and the house that he had built,
5 And themeatof bistable, and
the sitting of his servants, and the
attendance of his ministers, and
their apparel, and his cupbearers,
and his ascent by which he went
up unto the house of the Lord;
there was no more spirit in her.
6 And she said, It was a true re-
port that I heard in mine own land
of thy acts and of thy wisdom.
7 Howbeit I believed not the
words, until I came, and mine
eyes had seen it ; and, behold, the
half was not told me :
8 Happy are thy men, happy are
these thy servants, which stand
continually before thee, and that
hear thy wisdom.
10 And she gave the king a hun-
dred and twenty talents of gold,
and of spices very great store, and
precious stones: there came no
more such abundance of spices as
these which the queen of Sheba
gave to king Solomon.
13 And king Solomon gave unto
the queen of Sheba all her desire,
whatsoever she asked, besides
that which Solomon gave her of
his royal bounty. So she turned
and went to her own country, she
and her servants, p. 212.
Solomon's wives and concu-
bines; his death and burial. See
also SS. 3. 7, 8, and 9, 10, p. 21, 55; 1
Ki. 4. 26 and 10. 26-29, p. 127; Ec. l-
12, p. 192-195; 1 Ki. 10. 14 and 10.
16-21, p. 242. 287.
1 Ki. 11—1 But king Solomon
loved many strange women.
3 And he had seven hundred
wives, princesses, and three hun-
dred concubines: and his wives
turned away his heart.
4 For it came to pass, when Salo-
mon was old, that his wivesturned
away his heart after other gods:
and his heart was not perfect with
the Lord his God, as was the
heart of David his father.
(Ne. 13—26 Did not Solomon king
of Israel sin by these things? yet
among many nations was there
no king like him, who was belov-
ed of his God, and God made him
king over all Israel: nevertheless
even him did outlandish women
cause to sin.)
41 And the rest of the acts of
Solomon, and all that he did, and
his wisdom, are they not written
in the book of the acts of Solo-
mon?
42 And the time that Solomon
reigned in Jerusalem over all Is-
rael was forty years.
43 And Solomon slept with his
fathers, and was buried in the city
of David his father: and Reho-
boam his son reigned in his stead.

Eliiali fleeth from Queen .Teze-
hel. HeaskeththeLord totakehis
life. He is lairaculovisly fed, and
did not eat again for forty days.
He is sent by the Lord to anoint
Elislia prophet in his stead. He
cast his mantle upon Elisha, who
arose and followed liim.
1 Ki. 19—1 And Ahab told Jeze-
bel all that Elijah had done, and
withal how he liad slain all the
prophets with the sword. 1 Ki.
18, p. ■2-25.
2 Then Jezebel sent a messen-
ger unto Elijah, saying, So let the
gods do to me, and more also, if I
make not thy life as the life of
one of them by to morrow about
this time.
3 And when be saw that, he
arose, and went for his life, and
came to Beer-sheba, which be-
longeth to Judah, and left his
servant there.
4 But he himself went a day's
journey into the wilderness, and
came and sat down imder a juni-
per ti-ee: and he requested fen-
himself that he might die; and
said, It is enough ; now, O Lord,
take away my life ; for I am not
better than my fathers.
5 And as he lay and slept under
a juniper tree, behold, then an
angel touched him, and said unto
him. Arise and eat.
6 And he looked, and behold,
there was a cake baken on the
coals, and a cruse of water at his
head. And he did eat and drink,
and laid him down again.
7 And the angel of the Lord
came again the secc)nd time, and
touched him, and said. Arise and
eat; because the journey is too
great for thee.
8 And he arose, and did eat and
drink, and went in the strength
of that meat forty days and forty
nights uuto Horeb the mount of
God.
9 And he came thither vmto a
cave, aud lodged there: and, be-
hold, the word of the Lord came
to him, and he said unto him,
What doest thou here, Elijah?
10 And he said, I have been very
jealous for the Lord God of hosts:
for the children of Israel have
forsaken thy covenant, thrown
down thine altars, and slain thy
prophets with the sword ; and I,
even I only, am left; and they
seek my life, to take it away.
11 And he said, Go forth, and
stand upon the mount before the
Lord. And, behold, the Lord
passed by, and a great and strong
wind rent the mountains, and
brake in pieces the rocks before
the Lord ; but the Lord was not
in the wind : aud after the wind
an earthquake ; but the Lord was
not in the earthquake:
12 And after the earthquake a
fire ; but the Lord was not in the
tire: and after the fire a still
small voice.
15 And the Lord said unto him.
Go, return on thy way to the wil-
derness of Damascus: and when
thou comest, anoint Hazael to l)e
king over .Syria:
16 And Jehu the son of Nimshi
shalt thou anoint to be king over
Israel : and Elisha the son of Sha-
phat shalt thou anoint to be proph-
et in thy room. p. 260.
19 vSo he departed thence, and
found Elisha the son of 8haphat,
who was ploughing Mith twelve
yoke of oxen before him, and he
with the twelfth: and Elijah pass-
ed by him, aud cast his mantle
upon him.
20 And he left the oxen, and ran
after Elijah, and said. Let me, I
pray thee, kiss my father and my
mother, and then I will follow
thee. And he said unto him. Go
back again: for what have I done
to thee?
•21 And he returned back from
him, and took a yoke of oxen, and
slew them, and boiled their tiesh
with the instrviments of the oxen,
and gave unto the people, and
they did eat. Then he arose, and
went after Elijah, and ministered
unto him.
NABOTH'S VINEYARD.
Death of Ahab and Jezebel.
1 Ki. 21—1 Naboth the Jez-
reelite had a vineyard, which was
in Jezreel, hard by the palace of
Ahab king of Samaria.
2 And Ahab spake unto Naboth,
saying, Give me thy vmeyard,
that Imay have it for a garden of
herbs, because it is near unto my
house: and I will give thee for it
a better vineyard than it: or, if
it seem good to thee, I will give
thee the worth of it in money.
374
3 And Naboth said to Ahab, The
Lord forbid it me, that I should
give the inheritance of my fathers
unto thee.
4 And Ahab came into his house
heavy and displeased because of
the word wliich Naboth the Jez-
reelite had spoken to him. And
he laid him down upon liis bed,
and turned away his face, and
would eat no bread.
5 But Jezebel his wife came to
him, and said. Why is thy spirit
so sad, that thou eatest no Dread?
G And he said unto her, Because
I spake unto Naboth, and said,
<iive me tliy vineyard for money ;
or else, if it please thee, I will
give thee another vineyard for it:
and he answered, I will not give
thee my vineyard.
7 And Jezebel his wife said unto
him. Dost thou now govern the
kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat
bread, and let thine heart be mer-
ry: I will give thee the viiieyard
of Naboth the Jezreelite.
8 So she wrote letters in Ahab's
name, and sealed them with bis
seal, and sent the letters unto the
elders and to the nobles that were
in hiscity. dwelling with Naboth.
And she wrote in the letters,
saying. Proclaim a fast, and .set
Naboth on high among the people :
10 And set two men, sons of Be-
lial, before him, to bear witness
against him. saying. Thou didst
blaspheme God and the king.
And tiieii carry him nut, and stone
him, that he may die.
11 And the men of bis city, even
the elders ami the nobles who
were the inhabitants in his city,
did asJezebel had sent unto them,
and as it was written in the letters
which she had sent unto them.
12 They proclaimed a fast, and
set Naboth on high among the
people.
13 And there came in two men,
children of Belial, and sat before
him: and the men of Belial wit-
nessed against him, even against
Naboth, in the i3resence of the
people, saying, Naboth did blas-
pheme God and the king. Then
they carried him forth out of the
city, and stoned him with stones,
that be died.
14 Then they sent to Jezebel,
saying, Naboth is stoned, and is
dead.
i5 H And it came to pass, when
•Jezebel heard that Naboth was
stoned,and was dead, that Jezebel
.said to Ahab, Ai-ise, take posses-
sion of the vineyard of Naboth
the Jezreelite, which he refused
to give tliee for money: for Na-
both is not alive, but dead.
16 And it came to pass, when
Ahab heard that Naboth was dead,
that Ahab rose up to go down to
the vineyard of Naboth the Jez-
reelite, to take possession of it,
17 And the word of the Lord
came to Elijah the Tishbite, say-
ing,
18 Arise, go down to meet Ahab
king of Israel, which is in Sama-
ria: behold, he is in the vineyard
of Naboth, whither he is gone
down to possess it.
19 And thou shalt speak unto
him, saying. Thus saith the Lord.
Hast thou killed, and also taken
possession? And thou shalt speak
unto him, saying. Thus saith the
Lord. In the place where dogs
licked tlie blood of Naboth shall
dogs lick thy blood, even thine.
23 And of Jezebel also spake the
Lord, saying, The dogs sliall eat
Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.
24 Him that dieth of Ahab in tlie
city the dogs shall eat; and him
that dieth in the held shall the
fowls of the air eat.
1 Ki. 22—29 So Ahab king of Is-
rael and Jehoshaphat king of
Judah went up to Kamoth-gilead.
See 1 Ki. 22. 20, p. lOG.
30 And the king of Israel said
unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise
myself, and enter into the battle;
but put thou on thy robes. And
theking of Israel disguised him-
self, and went into the battle.
34 And a certain man drew a bow
at a venture, and smote the king
of Israel between the joints of the
harness: wlierefore he said unto
the driver of his chariot. Turn
thine hand, and carry me out of
the host; for I am wounded.
35 And the battle increased that
day: and the king was stayed up
in his chariot against the Syrians,
and died at even: and the blood
ran out of the wound into the
midst of the chariot.
;37 So the king died, and wa.s
brought to Samaria; and they
buried the king in Samaria.
.38 And one washed the chariot m
the pool of Samaria; and the dogs
licked up his blood; and they
375
washed his armour; acoording
unto the word of the Lohd which
he spake.
39 Now the rest of the acts of
Ahab, and all that he did, and the
ivory liouse which he nnide, and
all the cities that he built, are
they not written in the book of the
Chronicles of the kings of Israel?
40 So Ahab slept with his fath-
ers; and Aluiziah his son reigned
in his stead.
2Ki. 9 — ;iO And when .Tehu was
come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of
it; and she painted her face, and
tired her head, and looked out at
a window.
31 And as Jehu entered in at the
gate she said. Had Ziniri peace,
who slew his master?
:32 And as he lifted up his face to
the window, and said, WJio is on
my side? who? And there looked
out to him tM'o or three eunuchs.
.33 And he .said. Throw her down.
So they threw her down: and
some of her blood was sprinkled
on the wall, and oi\ the horses:
and he trode her under foot.
34 And when he was come in,
he did eat and drink, and said,
Go, see now this cursed woman,
and bury her: for she is a king's
daughter.
35 And they went to bury her :
but they found no more of her
than the skull, and the feet, and
the palms of her hands.
36 Wherefore they came again,
and told him. And he said, This
is the word of the Lord, which he
spake by his servant Elijah the
Tishbite, saying, In the portion
of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh
of Jezebel:
37 And the carcass of Jezebel
shall be as dung upon the face of
the Held in the portion of Jezreel ;
so that they shall not say, This is
Jezebel.
Elijah called fire from heaven,
which consumed 100 men.
2 Ki. 1—2 And Ahaziah felldown
through a lattice in his upper
chamber that was in Samaria,
and was sick: and he sent mes-
.sengers, and said unto them, (io,
inquire of Baal-zebub the god of
Ekron whether I shall recover of
this disease.
3 But the angel of the Lord said
to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go
up to meet the messengers of the
king of Samaria, and say unto
them, Is it not because there is not
a (Tod in Israel, that ye go to in-
quire of Baal-zebub.
4 Now tliereft)re thus saith the
Lord, Thou shalt not come down
from that bed on which thou art
gone up, but shalt surely die.
5 And when the messengers
turned back unto the king
7 He said, What manner of man
was he which came up to meet
you, and told you these words?
8 And they answered him. He
was a hairy man, and girt with a
girdle of leatlier about his loins.
And he said, It is Elijah the Tish-
bite.
9 Then the king sent unto him
a captain of tifty with his tifty.
And, behold, he sat on the top of a
bill. And he spake unto him,
Thou man of God, the king hath
said, Come down.
10 And Elijah said. If I be a man
of God, then let fire come down
from heaven, and consume thee
and thy tifty. And there came
down tire from heaven, and con-
sumed him and his tifty.
11 Again also he sent another
captain of fifty with his tifty.
And he said unto him, Oman of
(jod, thus hath the king said.
Come down quickly.
12 And Elijah said unto them.
If I lie a man of God, let fire come
down from heaven, and consume
thee and thy fifty. And the tire
of God came down from heaven,
and consumed him and his tifty.
13 And he sent a captain of the
third tifty with his tifty. And he
came and fell on his knees before
Elijah, and said unto him,0 man
of God, I pray thee, let my life,
and the life of these fi fty thy serv-
ants, be precious in thy sight.
1.5 And the angel said unto Eli-
jah, Go down with him: be not
afraid of him. And be went down
with him unto the king.
16 And said, Thus saith the
Lord, As tliou has sent messen-
gers to inquire of Baal-zebub the
god of Ekron, is it not because
tliere is no God in Israel to inquire
of his word? therefore thou shalt
not come down off that l)ed on
which thou art gone up, but shall
surely die.
17 So he died according to the
word of the Lord which Elijah
had spoken.
376
"And Elijah went up bv a
whirlwind into heaven."
2 Ki. 2—1 And it came to pass,
when the Lord would take up
Elijah into heaven by a whirl-
wind, that Elijah went with
Elisha from Gilgal.
2 And Elijah said unto Elisha,
Tarry here, I pray thee; for the
Lord hath sent me to Beth-el.
And Elisha said unto him, As the
Lord liveth, and as thy soul
liveth, I will not leave thee. So
they went down to Beth-el.
3 And the sons of the prophets
that were at Beth-el came forth to
Elisha, and said unto him, Know-
e.st thou that the Lord will take
away thy master from thy head
today? And he said. Yea, I know
It ; hold ye your peace.
4 And Elijah said unto him,
Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee;
for the Lord hath sent me to
Jericho. And he said. As the Lord
liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I
will not leave thee. So they came
to Jericho.
5 And the sons of the prophets
that were at Jericho came to Eli-
sha, and said unto him, Knowest
thou that the Lord will take
away thy master from thy head
to day? And he answered, Yea, I
know it ; hold ye your peace.
6 And Elijah said unto him.
Tarry, I pray thee, here; for the
Lord hath sent me to Jordan. And
he said. As tlie Lord liveth, and
as thy soul liveth, I will not leave
thee. And they two went on.
7 And fifty men of the sons of
the prophets went, and stood to
view afar off: and they two stood
by Jordan.
8 And Elijah took his mantle,
and wrapped it together, and
smote the waters, and they were
divided hither and thither, so
that they two went over on dry
ground.
9 And it came to pass, when
they were gone over, that Elijah
said unto Elisha, Ask what 1 shall
do for thee, before I be taken
away from thee. And Elisha said,
I pray thee, let a double portion
of thy spirit he upon me.
10 And he said. Thou hast asked
a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou
see me when I am taken from
thee, it shall be so unto thee ; but
if not, it shall not be so.
11 And it came to pass, as they
still went on, and talked, that, be-
hold, there appeared a chariot of
hre, and horses of tire, and parted
them both asunder; and Elijah
went up by a whirlwind into
heaven.
12 And Elisha saw it, and he
cried. My father, my father, the
chariot of Israel, and the horse-
men thereof! And he saw liim
no more: and he took hold of his
own clothes, and rent them in
two pieces.
13 He took up also the mantle
of Elijah that fell from him, and
went back, and stood by the bank
of Jordan ;
14 And he took the mantle, and
smote the waters, and said, Where
is the Lord God of Elijah? And
when he also liad smitten the
waters, they parted hither and
thither: and Elisha went over.
15 And when the sons of tlie
prophets which were to view at
Jericho .saw him, they said. The
spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha.
And they came to meet him, and
bowed themselves to the ground
before him. '
Elisha increased the widow's
oil. See also 2 Ki. 4. 8, p. 398.
2 Ki. 4—1 Now there cried a cer-
tain woman of the wives of the
.sous of the prophets unto Elisha,
saying, Thy servant my husband
IS dead; and thou knowest that
thyservantdidfeartheLoRD: and
the creditor is come to take unto
him my two sons to he bondmen.
2 And Elisha said unto her.
What shall 1 do for thee? tell me,
what hast thou in the house?
And she said, Thine handmaid
liath not anything in the house,
save a pot of oil.
3 Then he said. Go, borrow thee
vessels abroad of all thy neigh-
bours, even empty vessels; bor-
row not a few.
4 And when thou art come in,
thou shalt shut the door upon thee
and upon thy sons, and shalt pour
out into all those vessels, and thou
shalt set aside that which is full.
5 So she went from him, and
shut the door upon her and upon
her .sons, who brought the vessels
to her; and she poured out.
6 And it came to pass, when the
vessels were full, that she said un-
377
to her son, Bring me yet a vessel.
And he said unto tier, Tliere is
not a vessel more. And the oil
stayed.
7 Tlien she came and told the
manof (lod. And he said, Go, sell
the oil, and pay tliy debt, and live
thou and thy children of the rest.
King Allah's 70 sons slain, 42 of
King Ahaziah's brethren slain.
Death of Elisha.
■2 Ki. in— 1 And Ahab had seventy
sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote
letters, and sent to Samaria, unto
the rulers of Jezreel,to theelders,
and to them that brought up
Ahab's children, saying,
2 Now as soon as this letter com-
eth to you, seeing your master's
sons are with you, and there are
with you chariots and horses, a
fenced city also, and armour;
3 Look even out the best and
meetest of your master's sons, and
set him on his father's throne, and
light for your master's house.
5 And the elders, and the bring-
ers up of the children, sen t to Jehu,
saying. We are thy servants, and
will do all that thou shalt bid us;
we will not rhake any king: do
thou that which is good in thine
eyes.
6 Then he wrote a letter the sec-
ond time to them, saying. It ye be
mine, and if ye will hearken unto
my voice, take ye the heads of
the men your master's sons, and
come to me to Jezreel by to mor-
row this time.
7 And when the letter came to
them, they took the king's sons,
and slew seventy persons, and put
their heads in baskets, and sent
them to Jezreel.
8 And there came a messenger,
and told him, saying. They have
brought the heads of the king's
sons. And he said. Lay ye them
in two heaps at the entenng in of
the gate until the morning.
9 And it came to pass in the
morning, that he went out, and
stood, and said to all the people.
Ye be righteous: behold, I con-
spired against my master, and
slew him: but who slew all these?
10 Know now that there shall
fall unto the earth nothing of the
word of the Lord, which the Lord
spake concerning the house of
Ahab: for the Lord hath done
th at which he spake by his servant
Elijah.
11 So Jehu slew all tliat re-
mained of the house of Ahab.
12 And he arose and departed,
and came to Samaria. And as he
was at the shearing house in the
way,
13 Jehu met with the brethren
of Ahaziah king of Judah. and
said. Who are ye? And they an-
swered. We are the brethren of
Ahaziah ; and we go down to
.salute the children of the king
and the children of the queen.
14 And he said, Take them alive.
And they took them alive, and
slew them at the pit of the shear-
ing hoxise, even two and forty
men ; neither left he any of them.
17 And when he came to Sama-
ria, he slew all that remained un-
to Ahab in Samaria, till he had
destroyed him, according to the
saying of the Lord, which he
spake to Elijah, p. 226.
2 Ki. 13—20 And Elisha died, and
they buried him. And the bands
of the Moabites invaded the land
at the coming in of the year.
21 And it came to pass, as they
were burying a man, that, behold,
they .spied a band of men; and
they cast the man into the sepul-
chre of Elisha: and when the
man was let down, and touched
the bones of Elisha, he revived,
and stood up on his feet.

and barefoot.
3 And the Lord said. Like as my
servant Isaiah hath walked naked
and barefoot three years for a
sign and wonder upon Egypt and
upon Ethiopia ;

lead away the Egyptians priso-

King Ahasuerus's royal feast to
■which his wife Queen Vashti re-
fused to come at liis command,
and in consequence siie was set
aside with the loss of her royal
rank and estates; and Esther, the
beautiful Jewess, was chosen in
her place. Downfall of Hamau,
the king's favorite and chief
prince. Haman and his ten sons
hanged. The remarkahle pro-
motion of Mordecai the Jew (cou-
sin and foster father of Esther) in
Haman's place. He received high
rank and honor from the king,
and the great privilege for the
Jews of killing 75,800 of their ene-
mies, and in glory of the same,
with feasting and gladness, they
instituted the yearly feast of
Purim.
Est. 1 — 1 Now it came to pa.ss in
the days of Ahasueitis, (this is
Ahasuerus which reigned from
India iinto Ethiopia, over a hun-
dred and seven and twenty prov-
inces )
3 In the third year of his reign,
he made a feast mito all his
princes and his servants; the
power of Persia and Media,
4 When lie shewed the riches of
his glorious kingdom and the hon-
our of his excellent majesty many
days, even a hundred and four-
score days.
5 And when these days were ex-
pired, the king made a feast unto
all the people that were present
in Shushan the palace, botli unto
great and small, seven days, in
the court of the garden of the
king's palace;
6 Where were white, green, and
blue hangings, fastened with
cords of tine linen and purple to
silver rings and pillars of marble:
tlie beds were of gold and silver,
upon a pavement of red, and blue,
and white, and black marble.
7 And they gave them drink in
vessels of gold, (the vessels being
diverse one from another,) and
royal wine in abundance, accord-
ing to the state of the king,
8 And the drinking was accord-
ing to the law; none did compel:
for so the king had appointed to
all the otMcers of his house, that
they should do according to every
man's pleasure.
9 Also Vashti the queen made a
feast for the women in the royal
house.
10 On the seventh day, when the
heart of the king was merry with
wine, he commanded Meliuman,
11 To bring Vashti the queen
before the king with the crown
royal, to shew the people and the
princes her beauty: for she was
fair to look on.
12 But the queen Vashti refused
to come.
13 Then the king said to the
wise men, which knew the times,
15 What shall we do unto the
queen Vashti accorduig to law,
because she hath not performed
the commandment of the king.
16 And Memucan answered be-
fore the kmg and the princes,
Vashti the queen hath not done
wrong to the king only, but also
to all the princes, and to all the
people that are in all the provinces
of the king Ahasuerus.
17 For this deed of the queen
.shall come abroaduntoall women,
so that they shall despise then-
husbands in their eyes.
18 Likewise shall the ladies of
Persia and Media say this day
unto all the king's princes, which
have heard of the deed of the
queen. Thus shall there arise too
much contempt and wrath.
19 H it please the king, let there
go a royal commandment from
him, and let it be written among
the laws of the Persians and the
Medes^ tliat it be not altered,
That \ ashti come no more before
king Ahasuerus; and let the king
give her royal estate unto another
that is better than she.
20 And when the king's decree
shall be published throughout all
his empire, all the wives shall
give to their husbands honour,
both to great and small.
21 And the saying pleased the
king and the princes.
22 For he sent letters to all the
king's provinces, that every man
should Dear rule in his own house.
Est. 2 — 2 Then said the king's
servants. Let there be fair young
virgins sought for the king:
4 And let the maiden which
pleaseth thekingbe queen instead
of Vashti. And the thing pleased
the king; and he did so.
5 1 Now in Shushan the palace
there was a certain Jew, whose
name was Mordecai,
6 Who had been carried away
from Jerusalem with the captiv-
ity.
379
7 And he brought up Hadassah,
that is, Esther, his uncle's davigh-
ter: for she had neither fatlier nor
mother, and the maid was fair
and beautiful; whom Mordecai,
when her father and mother were
dead, took for his own daughter.
8 So it came to pass, when the
king's commandment and his de-
cree was heard, and when many
maidens were gathered together
unto Shushan the palace, that
Esther was brought also unto the
king's house, to the custody of
Hegai, keeper of the women.
12 Now when every maid's turn
was come to go in to king Ahasue-
rus,after that she had been twelve
mouths, according to the manner
of the women, (for so were the
days of their purifications accom-
plished, to wit, six months with
oil of myrrh, and six months with
sweet odours, and with other
things for the purifying of the
women,)
13 Then thus came every maiden
unto the king.
14 In the evening she went, and
on the morrow she returned into
the second house of the women, to
the custody of Shaashgaz, the
king's chamberlain, which kept
the concubines: she came in unto
the king no more, except the king
delighted in her.
16 So Esther was taken unto
king Ahasuerus into his house
royal.
17 And the king loved Esther
above all the women, and she ob-
tained grace and favour in his
sight more than all the virgins ; so
that he set the royal crown upon
her head, and made her queen in-
stead of Vashti.
18 Theu the king made a great
feast unto all his princes and his
servants, even Estner's feast ; and
he made a release to t he provinces,
and gave gifts, according to the
state of the king.
21 In those days, while Morde-
cai sat in the king's gate, two nf
the king's chamberlains sought
to lay hand on the king.
22 And the thing was known to
Mordecai, who told it unto Esther
the queen ; and Esther certitied the
king thereof in Mordecai's name.
23 And when inquisition was
made of the matter, it was found
out; therefore they were both
hanged on a tree. -
Est. 6— 3 And the kingsaid,What
honour and dignity hath been
done to Mordecai for this? Then
.said the king's servants, There is
nothing done for him.
6 So Haman came in. And the
king said unto him. What shall
be done unto the man whom the
kingdelighteth to honour? Kow
Haman tliouglit in liis heart, To
whom Would the king delight to
do honour more than to myself?
7 And Hamau answered the king,
8 Let the royal apparel be
brought which the king useth to
wear, and the hor.se that the king
rideth upon, and the crown royal
which is set upon his head:
9 And let tins apparel and horse
be delivered to the hand of one of
the king's most noble princes, that
they may array the man, and
bring him on horseback through
the street of the city, and uro-
claim before him, Thus shall it
be done to the man whom the
king delighteth to honour.
10 Then the king said. Make
haste, and take the apparel and
the horse, as thou hast said, and
do even so to Mordecai the Jew,
that sitteth at the king's gate.
11 Then took Haman the apparel
and the horse, and arrayed Morde-
cai, and brought him on horseback
thr(.)ugh the street of the city, and
proclaimed before him, Thusshall
It be done unto the man whom
the king delighteth to honour.
Est. 7 — 1 So the king and Haman
came to banquet with Esther the
queen.
2 And the king said again unto
Esther on the second day at the
banquet of wine.'What is thy pe-
tition, queen Esther? and it shall
be granted thee: and what is thy
request? and itshall be performed, '
even to the half of the kingdom.
3 Then Esther the queen answer-
ed and said,
4 We are sold, I and my people,
to be destroyed, to be slam, and
to perish. But if we had been
sold for bondmen and bondwo-
men, I had held my tongue.
5 Ihen the king answered and
said unto Esther the queen. Who
is he, and wiiere is he, that durst
presume in his heart to do so?
6 And Esther said, the adver-
sary and enemy is this wicked
Haman. Then Haman was afraid
before the king and the queen.
380
7 And the kin^ arising from
the banquet of wine in his wrath
went into the palace garden: and
Hamau stood iip to make request
for his life to Esther the queen;
for lie saw that there was evil
determined against him by the
king.
8 Then the king returned out of
the palace garden into the place
of the banquet of wine; and Ha-
man was fallen upon the bed
wiiereon Esther was. Then said
the king, Will he force tlie queen
also before me in the house? As
the word went oiit of the king's
mouth, they covered Hamau's
face. See vrs. 9, 10, p. 129.
Est. 8—1 On that day did the
king give the house of Haman
tlie Jews' enemy imto Esther the
(jueen. And JNIordecai came be-
fore theking; for Esther had told
what he was unto her.
2 And the king took off his ring,
which he had taken from Haman,
and gave it unto JNIordecai. And
Esther set Mordecai over the
house of Haman.
7 Then the king Ahasuerus said
unto Esther the queen and to
3Iordecai the Jew, Beliold, 1 have
given Esther the house of Haman,
and him they have hanged iipon
the gallows, because he laid his
hand upon the Jews.
8 Write ye also for the Jews, as
it liketh you, in the king's name,
and seal It with tlie king's ring:
for the writing which is written
in the king's name, and sealed
witli the king's ring, may no man
reverse.
10 And he wrote in the king
Ahasuerus' name, and sealed it
with the king's ring, and sent
letters by posts on horseback,
and riders on mules, camels, and
young dromedaries:
11 Wherein the king granted
the Jews in every city to gatlier
themselves together, and to stand
for their life, to destroy, and to
caiise to perish, all the power of
tlie people and province that
would assault them, both little
ones and women, and to take the
spoil of them for a prey,
12 Upon one day in all the prov-
inces of king Aha.suerus, upon the
thirteenth day of the twelfth
month, which is the month Adar.
1.5 And Mordecai went out from
the presence of the king in royal
aijparel of blue and white, and
with a great crown of gold, and
with a garment of hue linen and
purple : and the city of Shushan
rejoiced and was glad.
17 And iu every province, and
in every city, whithersoever the
king's commandment and his de-
cree came, the Jews had joy and
gladness, a feast and a good day.
And many of the people of tlie
land became Jews; for the fear
of the Jews fell upon them.
Est. 9—1 Now in the twelfth
month, that is, the month Adar,
on the thirteenth day of the same,
when the king's commandment
and his decree drew near to be
put into execution,
2 The Jews gathered themselves
together in their cities through-
out all the provinces of the king
Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such
as sought their hurt: and no man
could withstand them.
3 And all the rulers of the prov-
inces, and the lieutenants, and the
deputies, and officers of the king,
helped the Jews ; because tlie fear
of Mordecai fell upon them.
5 Thus the Jews smote all their
enemies with the stroke of the
sword, and slaughter, and destruc-
tion, and did what they would
unto those that hated them.
6 And in Shushan the palace
the Jews slew and destroyed five
hundred men.
13 Then said Esther, if it please
the king, let it be granted to the
Jews which are in Shushan to do
to morrow also according unto
this day's deci-ee, and let Ha-
inan's ten sons be hanged upon
the gallows.
14 And the king commanded it
so to be done: and the decree was
given at Shushan ; and they hang-
ed Hainan's ten sons.
1.5 For the Jews that were in Shu-
shan gathered themselves togeth-
er on the fourteenth day also of
the month Adar, and slew three
hundred men at Shushan : but on
the prey they laid not their hand.
16 But the other Jews that were
in the king's provinces gathered
themselves together, and .stood
for their lives, and had rest from
their enemies, and slew of their
foes seventy and five thousand,
but they laid not their hands on
the prey,
17 On the thirteenth day of the
3S1
month Adar; and on the fonr-
teeuth day of tlie same rested
they, and made it a day of feast-
ing and gladness.
18 But the -lews that were at
Sliushan assembled togetlier on
the thirteenth day thereof, and on
tlie fourteenth thereof; and on
the tif teenth day of the same they
rested, and made it a day of
feasting and gladness.
19 Therefore the Jews of the vil-
lages, that dwelt in the unwalled
towns, made the fourteenth day
of tlie month Adar a day of glad-
ness and feasting, and of sending
portions one to another.
20 And Mordecai wrote these
things, and sent letters unto all
the Jews that were in all the prov-
inces of the king Ahasuerus,
•21 To establish this among them,
that they should keep the four-
teenth day of the month Adar,
and tlie fifteenth day of tlie same,
yearly,
22 As the days wherein the Jews
rested from their enemies, and
the month wliioh was tiu-ned unto
them from sorrow to joy, and
from mourning into a good day:
that they should make them days
of feasting and .ioy, and of send-
ing portions one to another, and
gifts t9 the poor.
23 And the Jews undertook to
do as they had begun, and as
Mordecai had written unto them ;
21 Because Hainan, the enemy
of all the Jews, had devised a-
gainst the Jews to- destroy them,
and had cast Pur, that is, the lot,
to consume them, and to destroy
them :
26 wherefore they called these
days Purim after the name of Pur.
27 The Jews ordained, and took
vipon them, and upon their .seed,
and upon all sucli as joined them-
selves unto them, so as it should
not fail, that they would keep
these two days according to theh
writing, and according to their
appointed time every year;
29 Then Esther the queen, and
Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all
authority, to conhrm this second
letter of Purim.
30 And lie sent the letters unto
all the Jews, to the hundred twen-
ty and seven provinces of the
kingdom of Ahasuerus, with
words of peace and truth,
;n To confirm these days of
Purim in their times appointed.
according as Mordecai the Jew
and Esther the queen had en-
joined them,
Est.* 10—3 Mordecai was next
unto king Ahasuerus, and great
among the Jews, and accepted of
the multitude of his brethren,
seeking the wealth of his people,
and speaking peace to all his seed.
APOCRYPHAL POEM.
Jol) and the Devil. Job and
his three friends and Elihu. Job
from wealth to poverty and afHic-
tion, and then to greater wealth,
happiness, and long life. " I
know that mv Redeemer liveth,"
Job 91-25, p. 385.
Job 1—1 There was a man in the
land of Uz, whose name was Job:
and that man was perfect and up-
right, and one that feared God,
and eschewed evil.
2 And there were born unto him
seven sons and three daughters.
3 His substance also was seven
thousand sheep, three thousand
camels, five hundred yoke of
oxen, and five hundred she asses,
and a very great household ; so
that this man was the greatest
of all the men of the ea.st.
4 And his sous fea.sted in their
houses, every one his day; and
sent and called for their three
sisters to eat and to drink with
them.
5 And, when the days of their
feasting were gone. Job sent and
sanctified them, and rose up early
in the morning, and offered burnt
offerings according to the number
of them all: for Job said. It may
be that my sons have sinned, and
cursed God in tiieir hearts. Thus
did Job continually.
6 Now there was a day when
the sons of God came to present
themselves before the Lord, and
Satan came also among tliem.
7 And the Lord .said unto Satan,
Whence comest thou? Then Sa-
tan answered. From going to and
iro in the earth, and from walk-
ing up and down in it.
8 And the Lord said unto Satan,
Hast thou considered my servant
Jol), that there is none like him
in the earth, a perfect and an up-
right man, one that feareth God,
and esclieweth evil?
9' Then Satan answered the
Lord, and said. Doth Job fear
God for nought?
382
10 Hast uot tlioii made a hedge
about him, and about his house,
and about all that he hath on ev-
ery side? thou hast blessed the
work of his hands, and his sub-
stance is increased in the land.
11 But put forth thine hand now,
and touch all that he hath, and
he will curse thee to thy face.
12 And the Lord said, all that
he hath is in thy power; only
upon himself put not forth thine
hand. So Satan went forth from
the presence of the Lord.
13 And there was a day when
his sons and his daughters were
eating and drinking wine in their
eldest orother"s house:
14 And there came a messenger
unt'i Job, and said. The oxen were
ploughing, and the asses feeding
beside them :
1.5 And the Sabeans fell upon
them, and took them away; yea,
they have slain the servants with
the edge of the sword ; and I only
am escaped alone to tell thee.
IG While he was yet speaking,
there came also auotlier, and said.
The tire of God is fallen from
heaven, and hath liurned up the
sheep, and the servants, and con-
siimed them; and I only am es-
scaped alone to tell thee.
17 While he was yet speaking,
there came also anotlier, and said.
The Chaldeans made out three
bands, and fell upon the camels,
and have carried them away, yea,
and slain the servants witli the
edge of the sword ; and I only am
escaped alone to tell thee.
18 There came also another, and
said Thy sons and thy daughters
were eating and drinking wine in
their eldest brother's hou,se :
19 And, behold, there came a
great Avind from the wilderness,
and smote the four corners of the
liouse, and it fell upon the young
men, and they are dead; and I
only am escaped alone to tell thee.
21) Then Job arose, and rent his
mantle, and shaved his head, and
fell down upon the ground, and
worshipped,
21 And said. Naked came I out
of my mother's womb, and naked
shall I return thither: the Lord
gave, and the Lord hath taken
away ; blessed be the name of the
Lord.
2*2 In all this Job sinned not, nor
charged God foolishly.
Job 2—1 Again there was a day
when the sons of God came to
£ resent themselves before the
ORD, and Satan came also among
them to present himself.
2 And the Lord said unto Satan,
From whence comest thou? And
Satan answered and said. From
going to and fro iri the earth, and
from walking up and down in it.
3 And the Lord said unto Satan.
Hast thou considered my servant
Job, that there is none like him in
the earth, a perfect and an up-
right man, one that feareth God,
and escheweth evil? and still lie
holdeth fast his integrity, al-
though thou movedst me against
him, to destroy him withoiit cause.
4 And Satan answered and said.
Skin for skin, yea, all that a man
hath will he give for his life.
5 But put forth thine hand now,
and touch his bone and iiis tlesh,
and he will curse thee to thy face.
G And the Lord said unto Satan,
Behold, he is in thine hand; but
save his life.
7 So went Satan from the pres-
ence of the Lord, and smote Job
with sore boils from the sole of
his foot unto his crown.
8 And he took him a potsherd to
scrape him.self withal ; and he .sat
down among the ashes.
9 Then said his wife unto him,
Do.st thou still retain thine in-
tegrity? curse God, and die.
10 But he said. Thou speakest as
one of the fooli.sh women. What?
shall we receive good at the hand
of God. and shall we not i-eceive
evil? In all this did not Job sin
with his lips.
11 Now when Job's three friends
heard of all this evil that was
come upon him. they came every
one from his own place ; Elipbaz
the Temanite, Bildad the Shu-
hite. and Zophar the Naamathite :
for they had made an appoint-
ment together to come to mourn
with him. and to comfort him.
12 And when they lifted up their
eyes afar off. and knew him not,
they lifted \\p their voice, and
wept ■ and they rent every one his
mantle, and sprinkled dust upon
their heads toward heaven.
13 So they sat down with him
upon the ground seven days and
seven niglits, and none spake a
word unto him : for they saw that
his grief was very great.
383
Job 3—1 After this opened Job
his mouth, and cursed his day,
2 And said,
3 Let the day perish wherein I
was born.
4 Let that day be darkness; let
not God regard it from above,
neither let the light shine upon it.
.5 Let darkness and the shadow
of death stain it; let a cloud
dwell upon it; let the blackness
of the day terrify it.
6 As for that night, let darkness
seize upon it; let it not be joined
unto the days of the year; let it
not come into the number of the
months.
7 Lo, let that night be solitary ;
let no joyful voice come therein.
9 Let the stars of the twilight
thereof be dark; let it look for
light, but have none ; neither let
it see the dawning of the day.
11 Why died I not from the
womb? why did I not give up the
ghost when I came out of the
belly?
13 For now should I have lain
still and been quiet, I should have
slept : then had I been at rest,
16 Or as a hidden untimely birth
1 had not been ; as infants which
never saw light.
17 There the wicked cease from
troubling; and there the weai-y
be at rest.
18 There the prisoners rest to-
gether; they hear not the voice
of the oppressor.
19 The small and great are
there; and the servant is free
from his master.
20 Wherefore is light given to
him that is in misery, and life
unto the bitter in soul ;
21 Which long for death, but it
Cometh not; and dig for it more
than for hid treasiu-es ;
22 Which rejoice exceedingly,
and are glad, when they can tind
the grave?
23 Why is light given to a man
whose way is hid and whom God
hath hedged in?
' 24 For my sighing cometh before
1 eat, and my roarings are poured
out like the waters.
25 For the thing which I greatly
feared is come upon me.
26 I was not in safety, neither
had I rest, neither was I quiet;
yet trouble came.
Job 4—1 Then Eliphaz the Tem-
anite answered and said,
2 If we assay to commune with
thee, wilt thou be grieved? but
who can withhold himself from
speaking?
3 Behold, thou hast instructed
many, and thou hast strengthened
the weak hands.
4 Thy words have upholden him
that was falling, and thou hast
strengthened the feeble knees.
5 But now it is come upon thee,
and thou faintest; it toucheth
thee, and thou art troubled.
Job 5—1 Call now, if there be
any that will answer thee : and to
which of the saints wilt thou turn?
6 Affliction cometh not forth of
the dust, neither doth trouble
spring out of the ground :
7 Yet man is born unto trouble,
as the sparks fly upward.
Job 6—1 But Job answered and
said,
2 Oh that my grief were thor-
oughly weighed, and my calamity
laid in the balances together!
3 For now it would be heavier
than the sand of the sea: there-
fore my words are swallowed up.
8 Oh that I might have my re-
quest ; and that God would grant
me the thing that 1 long for!
9 Even that it would please God
to destroy me ; that he would let
loose his hand, and cut me off!
Job 7—1 Is there not an appointed
time to man upon earth? are not
his days also like the days of a
hireling?
2 As a servant earnestly desireth
the shadow, and as a hireling look-
eth for the reward of his work :
3 So am I made to possess months
of vanity, and wearisome nights
are apponited to me.
4 W'hen I lie down, I say. When
.shall I arise, and the night be
gone? and I am full of toi5siugs to
and fro unto the dawning of the
day.
6 My days are swifter than a
weaver's shuttle, and are spent
without hope.
16 I loathe it; I would not live
alway ; let me alone ; for my days
are vanity.
Job 8—1 Then answered Bildad
the iShuhite, and said,
2 How long wilt thou speak
these things? and how long shall
the words of thy mouth be like a
.strong wind?
6 If thoii wert pure and upright ;
surely now he would awake for
384
thee, and make the habitation of
thy righteousness prosperous.
7 Tliough thy beginning was
small, yet thy latter end should
greatly increase.
20 Behold, God will not cast
away a perfect man, neither will
he help the evil doers:
Job ^—1 Then Job answered and
said,
2 I know it is so of a truth : but
how should man be just with God?
3 If he will contend with liim,
he cannot answer him.
i He is wise in heart. and mighty
in strengtli: who hath hardened
himself against him, and hath
prospered?
Job 10—1 My soul is weary of my
life; I will leave my complaint
upon myself; I will speak in the
bitterness of my soul.
2 I will say unto God, Do not
cofidemn me ; shew me wherefore
thou contendest with me.
9 Remember, I beseech thee,
that thou hast made me as the
clay ; and wilt thou bring me into
dust again?
18 Wherefore then hast thou
brought meforttjout of the womb?
Oh that I had given up the ghost,
and no eye had seen me I
20 Are not my days few? cease
then, and let me alone, that I
may take comfort a little,
21 Before 1 go whence I shall not
return, even to the land of dark-
ness and the shadow of death.
Job 11 — 1 Then answered Zophar
the Naamathite, and said,
2 Should not the multitude of
words be answered? and should
a man full of talk be justified?
3 Should thy lies make men
hold their peace? and when thou
mockest, shall no man make thee
ashamed?
4 For thou hast said. My doc-
trine is pm-e, and I am clean in
thine eyes.
5 But oh that God would speak,
and open his lips against thee;
6 And that he would shew thee
the secrets of wisdom. Know
therefore that God exacteth of
thee less than thine iniquity de-
serveth.
Job 12—1 And Job answered and
said,
2 No doubt but ye are the people,
and wisdom shall die with you.
3 But I have understanding as
well as you ; I am not inferior to
yoti : yea, who knoweth not such
things as these?
4 I am as one mocked of his
neighbom-, who calleth upon God,
and he answereth him: the just
upright man is laughed to scorn.
Job 13—4 Bitt ye are forgers of
lies, ye are all physicians of no
value.
5 Oh that ye would altogether
hold your peace! and it should be
your wisdom.
Job 15—1 Then answered Eli-
phaz the Temauite, and said,
2 Should a wise man utter vain
knowledge, and till his belly witli
the east wind?
3 Should he reason with un-
profitable talk? or witli speeches
wherewith he can do no good?
4 Yea, thou castest off fear, and
restrainest prayer before God.
5 For thy mouth uttereth thine
iniquity, and thou choosest the
tongue of the crafty.
6 Thine own mouthcoudemneth
thee, and not I: yea, thine own
lips testify against thee.
7 Art thou the first man that
was born? or wast thou made be-
fore the hills?
Job 16—1 Then Job answered
and said,
2 I have heard many such
things: miserable comforters are
ye all.
3 Shall vain words have an end?
or what emboldeneth thee that
thou answerest?
4 I also could speak as ye do: if
your soul were in my soul's stead,
I could heap up words against
you, and shake mine head at you.
5 But I would strengthen you
with my mouth, and the moving
of my lips should assuage your
grief,
6 Though I speak, my grief is
not assuaged: and though I for-
bear, what am I eased?
11 God hath delivered me to the
ungodly, and tm'ned me over into
tlie hands of the wicked, p. 221.
Job 17—10 But as for you all, do
ye return, for I cannot find one
wise man among you.
Job 18—1 Then answered Bildad
the Shithite, and said,
2 How long will it be ere ye
make an end of words? mark,
and afterwards we will speak.
3 Wherefore are we counted as
beasts, and reputed vile in your
sight?
385
Job 19—1 Then Job said,
2 How lone will ye vex my
soul, and break me in pieces with
words?
3 These ten times have ye re-
proached me: ye are nut ashamed
that ye make yourselves strange
to me.
4 And be it indeed that I have
erred, mine error remaiueth with
myself.
6 Know now that God hath
overthrown me, and hath com-
passed me with his net.
9 He hath stripped me of my
glory, and taken tue crown from
my head.
10 He hath destroyed me on
every side, and mine hope hath
he removed like a tree.
13 He hath put my brethren far
from me, and mine acquaintance
are verily estranged from me.
14 My kinsfolk have failed, and
my familiar friends have forgot-
ten me.
15 They that dwell in mine
house, and my maids, count me
for a stranger: I am an alien in
their siglit.
16 I called my servant, and he
gave me no answer; 1 entreated
him with my mouth.
17 My breath is strange to my
wife, though I entreated for the
children's sake of mine own body.
18 Yea, young children despised
me; I arose, and they spake
against me.
19 All my inward friends ab-
hori'ed me: and they whom I
loved are turned against me.
20 My bone cleaveth to my skin
and to my flesh, and I am escaped
with the skin of my teeth.
21 Have pity upon me, have pity
upon me, O ye my friends ; for the
hand of God hath touched me.
23 Oh that my words were now
written ! oh that they were print-
ed in a book !
24 That they were graven with
an iron pen and lead in the rock
for ever !
25 For I know that my Redeemer
liveth, and that he shall stand at
the latter day upon the earth :
26 And though after my skin
worms destroy this body, yet in
my tiesli shall I see God:
27 Whom I shall see for myself,
and mine eyes shall behold, and
not another ; though my reins be
consumed within me.
Job 20—1 Then answered Zophar
the Naamathite. and said,
2 Therefore do my thoughts
cause me to answer, and for this
I make haste.
3 I have lieard the check of my
reproach, and the spirit of my lui-
derstandingcauseth metoanswer.
4 Knowest thou not this of old,
since man was placed upon earth,
5 That the triumphing of the
wicked is short, and the joy of the
hypocrite bxit for a moment, p. 90.
Job 21—1 But Job answered and
said,
2 Hear diligently my speech,
and let this be your consolations.
3 Suffer me that I may speak;
and after that I have spoken,
mock on.
4 As for me, is my complaint to
man? and if it were so, why should
not my spirit be troubled?
.5 Mark me, and be astonished,
and lay your hand upon your
mouth.
27 Behold, I knowyourthoughts,
and the devices which ye wrong-
fully imagine against me.
34 How then comfort ye me in
vain, seeing in your answers there
remaineth falsehood?
Job 22—1 Then Eliphaz the Tem-
anite answered and said,
2 Can a man be profitable unto
God, as he that is wise may be
protitable unto himself?
3 Is it any pleasui-e to the Al-
mighty, that tiiou art righteous?
or is it gain to him, that thou
madest thy ways perfect?
4 Will he reprove thee for fear
of thee?
5 Is not thy wickedness great?
and thine iniquities infinite?
6 For thou hast taken a pledge
from thy brother for nought, and
stripped the naked of their cloth-
ing.
7 Thou hast not given water to
the weary to drnik, and thou
hast withholden bread from the
hungry.
8 But as for the mighty man, he
had the earth ; and the honour-
able man dwelt in it.
9 Thou hast sent widows away
empty, and the arms of the fath-
erless have been broken.
10 Therefore snares are round
about thee, and sudden fear
troubleth thee;
23 If thou return to the Al-
mighty, thou shalt be built up.
386
•24 Then shalt thou lay up gold
as dust, and the gold of Ophu" as
the stones of the brooks.
25 Yea, the Almighty shall be
thy defence, and thou shall have
plenty of silver.
Job 23— 1 Then Job answered and
said, Even to day ismy complaint
bitter: my stroke is heavier than
ray groaning.
Job 24— 25 And if it be not so now,
who will make me a liar, and
make my speech nothing worth?
Job 29—1 Moreover Job con-
tinued his parable, and said,
2 Oh that I were as in months
past, as in the days when God
preserved me;
3 When his candle shined upon
my head, and when by his light I
walked through darkness:
4 As I was in the days of my
youth, when the secret of God
was upon my tabernacle ;
5 When the Almighty was yet
with me, when my children were
about me :
6 When I washed my steps with
biitter, and the rock poured me
out rivers of oil ;
7 When I went out to the gate
through the city, when I prepared
my seat in the street!
8 The young men saw me, and
hid themselves: and the aged
arose, and stood up.
9 The princes refrained talking,
and laid their hand on their
mouth.
10 The nobles held their peace,
and their tongue cleaved to the
roof of their mouth.
11 When the ear heard me, then
it blessed me; and when the eye
saw me, it gave witness to me:
12 Because I delivered the poor
that cried, and the fatherless,
and him that had none to help
him.
13 The blessing of him that was
ready to perish came upon me:
and I caused the widow's heart to
sing for joy.
14 I put on righteousness, and
it clothed me: my judgment was
as a robe and a diadem.
15 1 was eyes to the blind, and
feet was 1 to the lame.
16 I was a father to the poor:
and the cause which I knew not 1
searched out.
17 And 1 brake the jaws of the
wicked, and plucked the spoil out
of his teeth.
20 My glory was fresh in me, and
my bow was renewed in my hand.
21 Unto me men gave ear, and
waited, and kept silence at my
counsel.
22 After my words they spake
not again; and my speech drop-
ped upon them.
23 And they waited for me as
for the rain. p. 249.
24 If 1 laughed on them, they
believed it not; and the light of
my countenance they cast not
down.
25 I chose out their way, and sat
chief, and dwelt as a king in the
army, as one that comforteth the
mourners.
Job 30—1 But now they that are
younger than I have me in de-
rision, whose fathers I would have
disdained to have set with the
dogs of my flock.
8 They were children of fools,
yea, children of base men: they
were viler than the earth.
9 And now am I their song, yea,
I am their byword.
10 They abhor me, they flee far
from me, and spare not to spit in
my face.
Job 31—6 Let me be weighed in
an even balance, that God may
know mine integrity.
7 If my step hath turned out of
the way, and mine heart walked
after mine eyes, and if any blot
hath cleaved to mine hands;
8 Then let me sow, and let an-
other eat ; yea, let my offspring be
rooted out.
9 If mine heart have been de-
ceived by a woman, or if 1 have
laid wait at my neighbour's door;
10 Then let my wife grind unto
ain)theri and let others how down
upon her.
13 If I did despise the cause of
my manservant or of my maid-
servant, when they contended
with me:
16 If I have withheld the poor
from their desire, or have caused
the eyes of the widow to fail ;
17 Or have eaten my morsel my-
self alone, and the fatherless hath
not eaten thereof ;
19 If I have seen any perish for
want of clothing, or any poor
without covering;
'20 If his loins have not blessed
me, and if he were not warmed
with the fleece of my sheep ;
21 If I have lifted up my hand
against the fatherless, when I saw
my help in the gate:
387
22 Then let mine arm fall from
my shoulder blade, and mine arm
he broken fiom the bone.
24 If I have made gold my hope,
or have said to the fine gold. Thou
art my confidence ;
25 If 1 rejoiced because m y wealth
was great, and because mine hand
had gotten much;
,29 If I rejoiced at the destruc-
tion of him that hated me, or lift-
ed upmyself Wlien evil found him ;
30 (Neither have I suffered my
mouth to sin by wishing a cm-se to
his soul.)
32 The stranger did not lodge in
the street: but I opened my doors
to the traveller.
SI Did I fear a great multitude,
or did the contempt of families
terrify me, that I kept silence, and
went not out of the door?
35 Oh that one would hear me !
behold, my desire is, that the Al-
mighty would answer me, and that
mine adversary had written a
book.
40 Let thistles grow instead of
wheat, and cockle instead of bar-
ley. The words of Job are ended.
Job 32—1 So these three men
ceased to answer Job, because he
was righteous in his own eyes.
2 Then was kindled the wrath
of Elihu the sun of Barachel the
Buzite, of the kindred of Ram:
againstJobwas his wrath kindled,
because hejustifiedhimself rather
than God.
3 Also against his three friends
was his wrath kindled, because
they had found no answer, and yet
had condemned Job.
4 Now Elihu had waited till Job
had spoken, because they were
elder than he.
5 When El ihu saw thatthere was
no answer in the mouth of these
three men, then his wrath was
kindled.
6 And Elihu answered and said,
I am young, and ye are very old ;
wherefore! was afraid, and durst
not .shew you mine opinion.
7 I said. Days should speak, and
multitude of years should teach
wisdom.
SButthereisaspirit in man: and
the inspiration of- the Almighty
giveth them imderstanding.
9 Great men are not always
wise: neither do the aged under-
stand judgment.
10 Therefore I said. Hearken to
me ; I also will shew mine opinion.
11 Behold, I waited for your
words; I gave ear to your rea-
sons, whilst ye .searched out what
to say.
12 Yea, I attended unto you, and,
behold, there was none of you that
convinced Job, or that answered
his words:
14 Now he hath not directed his
words against me: neither will I
an.swer him with your speeches.
17 I said, I will answer also my
part ; I also will shew mine opin-
ion.
18 For I am full of matter; the
spirit within me constraineth
me.
19 Behold, my belly is as wine
which hath no vent ; it is ready to
burst like new bottles.
20 I will speak, that I may be
refreshed: I will open my lips and
answer.
21 Let me not, I pray you, ac-
cept any man's person ; neither let
me give flattering tit lesuntoman.
22 For I know not to give flatter-
ing titles; in so doing my Maker
would soon take me away.
Job 33—1 Wherefore, Job, I pray
thee, hear my speeches, and
hearken to all my words.
8 Surely thou hast spoken in
mine hearing, and I have heard
the voice of thy words, saying,
9 I am clean without transgres-
sion. I am innocent; neither is
there iniijuity ui me.
Job 34—1 Furthermore Elihu an-
swered and said,
7 What man is like Job, who
drhiketh up scorning like water?
8 Which goeth in company with
the workers of iniquity, and walk-
eth with wicked men.
9 For he hath said. It profiteth
a man nothing that he should de-
light himself with God.
3.5 Job hath spoken without
knowledge, and his words were
without wisdom.
36 My desire is that Job may be
tried unto the end, because of his
answers for wicked men.
37 For he addeth rebellion unto
his sin, he clappeth his hands
among us, and multiplieth his
words against God.
Job 38—1 Then the Lord an-
swered Job out of the whirlwind,
and said,
2 Who is this that darkeneth
counsel by words without knowl-
edge?
3 Gird up now thy loins like a
388
man ; for I will demand of thee,
and answer thou me.
4 Where was thou when I laid
the foundations of the earth? de-
clare, if thou hast understanding.
5 Who hath laid the measures
thereof, if thou knowest? or who
hath stretched the line upon it?
6 Whereupon are the founda-
tions thereof fastened? or who
laid the comer stone thereof?
18 Has thou perceived the
hreadth of the earth? declare if
thou knowest it all.
Job 42—1 Then Job answered
the LoKD, and said,
2 I know that thou canst do
every thing, and that no thought
can be withholden from thee.
3 Who is he that hideth counsel
without knowledge? therefore
have I uttered that 1 understood
not; things too wonderful for
me, which 1 knew not.
4 Hear. I beseech thee, and 1
will speak: 1 will demand of thee,
and declare thou unto me.
5 I have heard of thee by the
hearing of the ear ; but now mine
eye seeth thee:
6 Wherefore I abhor myself, and
repent in dust and ashes.
7 f And it was so, that after the
Lord had spoken these words un-
to Job. the Lord said to Elipliaz
the Temanite, My wrath is kin-
dled against thee, and against
thy two friends: for ye have not
spoken of me the thing that is
right, as mv servant Job hath.
8 Therefore take unto you now
seven bullocks and seven rams,
and go to my servant Job, and
offer up for yourselves a burnt
offermg; and my servant Job shall
pray for you: for him will I ac-
cept: lest I deal with you after
your foUv, in that ye have not
spoken of me the thing which is
right, like my servant Job.
9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and
Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the
Naamathite went, and did accord-
ing asthe LoRDCommanded them :
the Lord also accepted Job.
10 And the Lord turned the
captivity of Job, when he prayed
for his friends: also the Lord
gave Job twice as much as he
had before.
11 Then came there unto him
all his brethren, and all his sis-
ters, and all they that had been
of his acquaintance before, and
did eat bread with him in his
house: and they bemoaned him,
and comforted him over all the
evil that the Lord had brought
upon him: every man also gave
hun a piece of money, and every
one an earring of gold.
12 So the Lord blessed the lat-
ter end of Job more than his be-
ginning: for he had fourteen
thousand sheep, and six thousand
camels, and a thousand yoke of
oxen, and a thousand she asses.
13 He had also seven sons and
three daughters.
14 And he called the name of
the first, Jemima ; and the name
of the second, Kezia; and the
name of the third, Keren-happuch.
15 And in all the land were no
women found so fair as the daugh-
ters of Job: and their father gave
them inheritance among their
brethren.
16 After this lived Job a hun-
dred and forty years, and saw his
sons, and his sous' sons, even four
generations.
17 So Job died, being old and
full of days.
Nebuchadnezzar's two dreams
interpreted by Daniel.
' Da. 2—31 Thou, O king, sawest,
and behold a great image. This
great image, whose brightnesswas
excellent, stood before thee ; and
the form thereof was teiTible.
32 This image's head was of fine
gold, his breast and his arms of
silver, his belly and his thighs of
brass, , . „
33 His legs of iron, his feet part
of iron and part of clay.
34 Thou sawest till that a stone
was cut out without hands, which
smote the image upon his feet that
were of iron and clay, and brake
them to pieces.
35 Then was the iron, the clay,
the bra.ss, the silver, and the gold,
broken to pieces together, and be-
came like the chaff of the summer
threshingfloors; and the wind car-
ried them away, that no place was
found for them: and the stone
that smote the image became a
great mountain, and filled the
whole earth.
36 This is the dream ; and we
will tell the interpretation thereof
before the king.
37 Thou. O king, art a king of
kings: for the God of heaven hath
389
given thee a kingdom, power, and
strength, and glory-
38 And wheresoever the chil-
dren of men dwell, the heasls of
the field and the fowls of the
heaven hath he given into thine
hand, and hath made thee ruler
over them all. Thou art this head
of gold.
39 And after thee shall arise
another kingdom inferior to thee.
and another third kingdom oi
brass, which shall bear rule over
all the earth.
40 And the fourth kingdom shall
be strong as iron: forasmuch as
iron breaketh in pieces and sub-
dueth all things: and as iron that
breaketh all these, shall it break
in pieces and bruise.
41 And whereas thou .sawestthe
feet and toes, part of the potters'
clay, and part of iron, the king-
dom shall be divided; but there
shall be in it of the strength of the
iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the
iron mixed with miry clay.
42 And as the toes of the feet
were part of iron, and part of clay,
so the kingdom shall l>e partly
strong, and partly broken.
43 And whereas thou sawest iron
mixed with miry clay, they shall
mingle themselves with the seed
of men: but they shall not cleave
one to another, even as ii'on is not
mixed with clay.
44 And in the days of these
kings shall the God of heaven set
up a kingdom, which shall never
be destroyed: and the kingdom
shall not be left to otlier people,
but it shall break in pieces and
consume all these kingdoms, and
it shall stand for ever.
45 Forasmuch as thou sawest
that the stone was cut out of the
mountain without hands, and that
it brake in pieces the iron, the
brass, the clay, the silver, and the
gold; the great Ciod hath made
known to the king what shall
come to pass hereafter: and the
dream is certain, and the inter-
pretatioii thereof sure.
46 Then king Nebuchadnezzar
fell upon his face, and worshipped
Daniel.
48 And the king made Daniel a
great man, and gave him many
great gifts, and made him ruler
over the whole province of Bab-
ylon, and chief of the governors
over all the wise men of Babylon.
Da. 4—18 This dream I king
Nebuchadnezzar have seen. Now
thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the
interpretation thereof, forasmuch
as ail the wise men of mv kmg-
dom are not able to make known
unto me the interpretation: but
thou art able ; for the spirit of the
holy gods is in thee.
19 H Then Daniel, whose name
was Belteshazzer, was astonied
for one hour, and his thoughts
troubled him. The king spake,
and said, Belteshazzar, let not the
dream, or the interpretation there-
of , trouble thee. Belteshazzar an-
swered and said. My lord, the
dream be to them that hate thee,
and the intei-pretatiou thereof to
thine enemies.
20 The tree that thou sawest,
which grew, and was strong,
whose height reached imto the
heaven, and the sight thereof to
all the earth ;
21 Whose leaves were fair, and
the fruit thereof much, and in it
was meat for all ; under which the
beasts of the held dwelt, and upon
whose branches the fowls of the
heaven had their habitation:
22 It is thou, O king, that art
grown and become strong : for thy
greatness is grown, and reachetn
mito heaven, and thy dominion
to the end of the earth.
23 And whereas the king saw a
watcher and a holy one coming
down from heaven, and saying.
Hew the tree down, and destroy
it; yet leave the stump of the
roots thereof ui the earth, even
with a band of iron and brass, in
the tender grass of the field ; and
let it be wet with the dew of
heaven, and let his portion be
with the beasts of the field, till
seven times pass over him ;
24 This is the interpretation, O
king, and this is the decree of the
Most High, which is come upon
my lord the king :
25 That they shall drive thee
from men, and thy dwelling shall
be with the beasts of the field, and
they shall make thee to eat grass
as oxen, and they shall wet thee
with tlie dew of heaven, and seven
times shall pass over thee, till thou
know that the Most High ruleth
in the kingdom of men, and giv-
eth it to wliomsoever he will.
26 And whereas they command-
ed to leave the stump of the tree
390
roots; thy kingrdom shall be sure
unto thee, after that thou shalt
have known that the heavens do
rule.
•27 Wherefore, O king, let my
counsel be acceptable unto thee,
and break ofif thy sins by right-
eousness, and thine iniquities by
shewing mercy to the poor; if it
may be a lengthening of thy tran-
quillity.
28 All this came upon the king
Nebuchadnezzar.
29 At the end of twelve mouths
he walked in the palace of the
kingdom of Babylon.
30 The king spake, and said, Is
not this great Babylon, that I have
built for the house of the kingdom
by the might of my power, and
for the honour of my majesty?
31 While the word was in the
king's mouth, there fell a voice
from heaven, saying, O king Neb-
uchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken ;
The kingdom is departed from
thee.
32 And they shall drive' thee
from men, and thy dwelling shall
be with the beasts of the tield:
they shall make thee to eat grass
as oxen, and seven times shall
pass over thee, ujitil thou know
that the Most High ruleth in the
kingdom of men, and giveth it to
whomsoever he will.
33 The same hour was the thing
fulfilled tipon Nebuchadnezzar:
and he was driven from men, and
did eat grass as oxen, and his
body was wet with the dew of
heaven, till his hairs were grown
like eagles' feathers, and his nails
like birds' claws.
34 And at the end of the days
I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine
eyes unto heaven, and mine un-
derstanding returned unto me,
and I blessed the Most High, and
I praised and honoured him that
liveth for ever, whose dominion
is an everlasting dominion, and
his kingdom is from generation to
generation :
3.5 Andalltheinhabitantsof the
earth are reputed as nothing: and
hedoeth according to his will in
the araiy of heaven, and among
the inhaoitants of the earth: and
none can stay his hand, or say un-
to him. What doest thou?
36 At the same time my reason
returned unto me; and for the
glory of my kingdom, mine hon-
our and brightness returned unto
me ; and my counsellors and my
lords sought unto me ; and I was
established in ,my kingdom, and
excellent majesty was added unto
me.
NEBUCHADNEZZAR'S GOL-
DEN IMAGE.
The Fiery Furnace.
Da. 3—1 Nebuchadnezzar the
king made an image of gold,
whose height was threesc'ore cu-
bits, and the breadth thereof six
cubits: he set it up in tlie plain of
Dura, in the province of Babylon.
2ThenNebuchaduezzarthe king
sent togather together the princes,
tlie governors, and the captains,
the judges, the treasurers, the
counsellors, the sheriffs, and all
the rulers of the provmces, to
come to the dedication of the
image which Nebuchadnezzar
the king had set up.
4 Then a herald cried aloud. To
you it is commanded, O people,
nations, and languages,
5 That at what time ye hear the
sound of the cornet, tiute, harp,
sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and
all kinds of music, ye fall down
and worship the golden image
that Nebuchadnezzar the king
hath set up:
6 And whoso falleth not down
and worshippeth shall the same
hour be cast into the midst of a
burning fiery furnace.
8 Wherefore at that time cer-
tain Chaldeans came near, and
accused the Jews.
9 They spake and said to the
king Nebuchadnezzar, O king,
live for ever.
12 There are certain Jews "whom
thou hast set over the affairs of
the provinceof Baby Ion, Shadrach,
Mesnach, and Abed-nego; these
men, O king, have not regarded
thee: they serve not thy gods,
nor worship the golden image
which thou hast set up.
19 Then was Nebuchadnezzar
full of fury, and the form of his
visage was changed against Sha-
drach, Mesdach, and Abed-nego:
therefore he spake, and command-
ed that they should heat the fur-
nace one seven times more than
it was wont to be heated.
20 And he commanded the most
mighty men that were in his army
to biTid Shadrach, Meshach, and
391
Abed-nego, and to cast them into
the burning fiery furnace.
21 Then these men were boimd
in their coats, their hosen. and
their hats, and their other gar-
ments, and were cast into the
midst of the burning fiery furnace.
22 Therefore because the kmg s
commandment was urgent, and
the furnace exceeding hot, the
flame of the fire slew those men
that took up Shadrach, Meshach,
and Abed-nego.
23 And these three men, bha-
drach, Meshach, and Abed-nego,
fell down bound into the midst oi
the burning fiery furnace.
24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the
king was astonied. and rose up
in haste, and spake, and said unto
his counsellors, Did not we cast
three men bound into the midst
of the fire? They answered and
said unto the king. True, O kmg.
25 He answered and said. Lo, 1
see four men loose, walking m the
midst of the fire, and they have
no hurt; and the form of the
fourth is like the Son oi God.
26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came
near to the mouth of the burmug
fiery furnace, and spake, and said.
Shadrack, Meshach, and Abed-
nego, ye servants of the most high
God, come forth, and come hitlier.
Then Shadrach. Meshach. and
Abed-nego, came forth of the
midst of the fire.
27 And the princes, governors,
and captains, and the king's coun-
sellors, being gathered together,
saw these men, upon whose bodies
the fire had no power, nor was a
hair of their head singed, neither
were their coats changed, nor the
smell of fire had passed on them.
30 Then the king promoted Sha-
drach, Meshach. and Abed-nego,
in the province of Babylon.
BELSHAZZAR'S FEAST.
Handwriting on the Wall.
Da. 5—1 Belsliazzar the kmg
made a great feast to a thousand
of his lords, and drank wine be-
fore the thousand.
2 Belchazzar. while he tasted
the wine, commanded to bring the
golden and silver vessels which
his father Nebuchadnezzar had
taken out of the temple which
was in Jerusalem; tliat the king
and his princes, his wives and his
concubines, might drink therem.
3 Then they brought the golden
vessels that were taken out of the
temple of the house of God which
was at Jerusalem ; and the king
and his princes, his wives and his
concubines, drank in them.
4 They drank wine, and praised
the gods of gold, and of silver, of
brass, of iron, of wood, andof stone.
5 H In the same hour came forth
fingers of a man's hand, and wrote
over against the candlestick upon
the plaster of the wall of the
king's palace: and the king saw
the part of the hand that wrote.
6 Then the king's countenance
was changed, and his thoughts
troubled him. so that the joints
of his loins were loosed, and his
knees smote one against another.
7 The king cried aloud to bring
in the astrologers, the Chaldeans,
and the soothsayers. And the
king spake, and said to the wise
men of Babylon. Whosoever shall
read this writing, and shew me
the interpretation thereof, shall
be clothed with scarlet, and have
a chain of gold about his neck,
and shall be the third ruler m the
kingdom. . ,
8 Then came m all the kings
wise men : but they could not read
the writmg. nor make known to
the king the interpretation there-
17 Then Daniel answered and
said before the king. Let thy gifts
be to thyself, and give thy re-
wards to another ; yet I will read
the writing unto the kmg, and
make known to him the interpre-
tation, . . . ^, ^
25 And this is the writing that
was written, MENE, MENE,TE-
KEL, UPHARSIN.
26 This is the interpretation of
the thing: MENE; God hath
numbered thy kingdom, and fin-
ished it. . , >
. 27 TEKEL; Thou art weighed
in the balances, and art found
wanting. .
28 PERES; Thy kingdom is di-
vided, and given to the Modes
and Persians,
29 Then commanded Belshaz-
zar, and they clothed Daniel with
scarlet, and put a chain of gold
about his neck, and made a proc-
lamation concerning him, that
he should be the third ruler in
the kingdom.
392
30 tin thatnight was Belshazzar
the king of the Chaldeans slain.
31 And Darius the Median took
the kingdom, being about three-
score and two years old.
DANIEL IN THE LION'S DEN.
Da. 6—1 It pleased Darius to set
over the kingdom a hundred and
twenty princes, which should be
over the whole kingdom ;
2 And over these three presi-
dents; of whom Daniel was tirst:
that the princes might give ac-
counts unto them, and the king
should have no damage.
3 Then this Daniel was preferred
above the presidents and princes,
because an excellent spirit was in
him; and the king thought to set
him over the whole realm.
4 H Then the presidents and
princes sought to find occasion
against Daniel concerning the
kmgdom; but they could find
none occasion nor fault; foras-
much as he was faithful, neither
was there any error or fault found
in him.
5 Then said these men, We shall
not find any occasion against this
Daniel, except we find it against
him concerning the law of his
God.
6 Then these presidents and
princes assembled together to the
king, and said thus unto him.
King Darius, live for ever.
7 All the presidents of the king-
dom, the governors, and the
princes, the counsellors, and the
captains, have consulted together
to establish a royal statute, and to
make a firm decree, that whoso-
ever shall ask a petition of any
God or man for thirty days, save
of thee, O king, he shall be cast
into the den of lions.
8 Now, O king, establish the de-
cree, and sign the writing, that it
be not changed, according to the
law of the Medes and Persians,
which altereth not.
9 Wherefore king Darius signed
the writing and the decree.
10 IT Now when Daniel knew that
the writing was signed, he went
into his house ; and, his windows
being open in his chamber toward
Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his
knees three times a day, and
prayed, and gave thanks before
his God, as he did aforetime.
11 Then these men assembled,
and found Daniel praying and
making supplication before his
God.
12 Then they came near, and
spake before the king concern-
ing the king's decree ; Hast thou
not signed a decree, that every
man that shall ask a petition of
any God or man within thirty
days, save of thee,'0 king, shall
be cast into the den of lions?
The king answered and said. The
thing is true, according to the law
of the Medes and Persians, which
altereth not.
13 Then answered they and said
before the king, That Daniel,
which is of the children of the
captivity of Judah, regardeth not
thee, O king, nor the decree that
thou hast signed, but maketh his
petition three times a day.
14 Then the king, when he heard
these words, was sore displeased
with himself, and set his heart on
Daniel to deliver him: and he la-
boured till the going down of the
sun to deliver him.
15 Then these men assembled
unto the king, and said unto the
king. Know, O king, that the law
of the Medes and Persians is. That
no decree nor statute which the
kingestablishethmaybechanged.
16 Then the king commanded,
and they brought Daniel, and cast
him into the den of lions. Now
the king spake and said unto Dan-
iel, Thy God whom thou servest
continually, he will deliver thee.
17 And a stone was brought,
and laid upon the mouth of the
den ; and the king sealed it with
his own signet, and with the sig-
net of his lords; that the purpose
might not be changed concerning
Daniel.
18 H Then the king went to his
palace, and passed tlie night fast-
mg: neither were instruments of
music brought before him: and
his sleep went from him.
19 Then the king arose very
early in the morning, and went, in
haste unto the den of lions.
20 And when he came to the den,
he cried with a lamentable voice
unto Daniel: and the kingspakev
and said to Daniel, O Daniel, serv-
ant of the living God, is thy God,
whom thou servest continually,
able to deliver thee from the
lions?
393
21 Then said Dahiel unto the
king, O kintr, live for ever.
22 My Goaf hath sent his angel,
and hath shut the lions' mouths,
that they have not hurt me : for-
asmuch as hefore him innocency
was found in me ; and also before
thee, O king, have I done no hurt.
23 Then was the king exceeding
glad for him.andcomniaudedthat
they should take Daniel up out of
the den. So Daniel was taken up
out of the den, and no manner of
hurt was found upon him, because
he believed in his God.
24 IF And the king commanded,
and they brought those men
which had accused Daniel, and
they cast them into the den of
lions, them, their children, and
their wives; and the lions had the
mastery of them, and brake all
their bones in pieces or ever they
came at the bottom of the den.
25 H Then king Darius wrote
unto all people, nations, and lan-
guages, that dwell inallthe earth ;
Peace be multiplied unto you.
26 I make a decree. That in
every dominion of my kingdom
men tremble and fear before the
God of Daniel : for he is the living
God, and steadfast for ever, and
his kingdom that which shall not
be destroyed, and his dominion
shall be even unto the end.
27 He delivereth and rescueth,
and he worketh signs and won-
ders in heaven and in earth, who
hath delivered Daniel from the
power of the lions.
28 So this Daniel prospered in
the reign of Darius, and in the
reign of Cyrus the Persian.
Daniel's vision of the four beasts.
Da. 7—1 In the first year of Bei-
shazzar king of Babylon, Daniel
had a dream and visions of his
head upon his bed : then he wrote
the dream, and told the sum of
the matters.
2 Daniel spake and said, I saw in
my vision by night, and, behold,
the four winds of the heaven
strove upon the great sea.
3 And four great beasts came up
from the sea, diverse one from
another.
4 The first was like a lion, and
had eagle's wings: I beheld till
the wings thereof were plucked,
and it was lifted up from the
earth, and made stand upon the
feet as a man, and a man's heart
was given to it.
5 And behold another beast,
like to a bear, and it raised up
itself on one side, and it had
three ribs m the mouth of it be-
tween the teeth: and they said
thus unto it. Arise, devoux much
desh.
6 After this I beheld another,
like a leopard, which had upon
the back of it foui- wings of a fowl ;
the beast had also tour heads;
and dominion was given to it.
7 After this I saw a fourth beast,
dreadful, terrible, and strong ex-
ceedingly • and it had great iron
teeth: it devoured and brake in
pieces, and stamped the residue
with the feet of it: and it was di-
verse from all the beasts that were
before it ; and it had ten bonis.
8 1 considered the horns, and, be-
hold, there came up among them
another little horn, before whom
there were three of the first horns
plucked up by the roots: and, be-
hold, in this liorn were eyes like
the eyes of man, and a mouth
speaking great things. Vrs. 9, 10,
p. 17.
11 I beheld then, because of the
voiceof the great words which the
horn spake : even till the beast was
slain, and his body destroyed, and
given to the burning flame.
12 As concerning the rest of the
beasts, they had their dominion
taken aM'ay ; yet their lives were
prolonged for a season and time.
13 1 saw in the night visions, one
like the Son of man came with
the clouds of heaven, and came
to the Ancient of days, and they
brought him near before him. Vrs.
14, p. 143.
15 I Daniel was grieved in my
spirit, and the visions of my head
troubled me.
IG I came near unto one of them
that stood by, and asked him the
truth of all this. So he told nie.
17 These great beasts, which are
four, are four kings, which shall
arise out of the earth. ""
18 But the saints of the Most
High shall take, and possess the
kingdom forever.
19 Then I would know the truth
of the fourth beast, which was di-
verse from all the others, exceed-
ing dreadful, whose teeth were of
iron, and his nails of brass;
20 And of the ten liorns that
i were in his head, and even of th;i t
394
"horn that had eyes, and a mouth
that spake very great things.
21 I Deheld, and the same horn
made war with the saints, and
prevailed against them ;
22 Until the Ancient of days
came, and judgment was given
to the saints of the Most High ;
and the time came that the saints
possessed the kingdom.
23 Thus he said, The fourth heast
shall be the fourth kingdom upon
earth, which shall be diverse from
all kingdoms, and shall devour
the whole earth, and shall tread
it down, and break it in pieces.
24 And the ten horns out of this
kingdom are ten kings that shall
arise: and another shall rise after
them: and he shall be diverse
from the first, and he shall sub-
due three kings.
25 And heshall speak great words
against the Most High, and shall
wear out the saints oi the Most
High, and think to change times
and laws: and they shall be given
into his hand until a time and
times and the dividing of time.
26 But the judgment shall sit,
and they shall take away his do-
minion, to consume and to destroy
it unto the end.
27 And the kingdom and domin-
ion, and the greatness of the king-
dom under the whole heaven shall
be given to the people of the saints
of the Most High, whose kingdom
is an everlastmg kingdom, and
all dominions shall serve and
obey him.
28 Hitherto is the end of the
matter. As for me Daniel, my
cogitationsmuch troubled me, and
my countenance changed in me:
but I kept the matter in my heart.
Daniel's vision of the ram and
he goat. The 2,300 days of sacri-
fice.
Da. 8—1 In the third year of the
reign of king Belshazzar a vision
appeared unto me, even unto me
Daniel, after that which appeared
unto me at the tirst.
2 And I saw in a vision ; and it
came to pass, when I saw, that I
was at Shushan in the palace,
which is in the province of Elam ;
and I saw in a vision, and I was
by the river of Ulai.
3 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and
saw, and, behold, there stood be-
fore the river a ramwhich had two
horns: and the two horns were
high ; but one was higher than the
other, and the higher came up last.
4 I saw the ram pushing west-
ward, and northward, and south-
ward; so that no beasts might
stand before him, neither was
there any that could deliver out
of his hand ; but he did according
to his will, and became great.
5 And as 1 was considering, be-
hold, a he goat came from the
west on the face of the whole
earth, and touched not the
ground: and the goat had a
notable honi between his eyes.
6 And he came to the ram that
had two horns, which I had seen
standing before the river, and ran
unto him in the fury of his power.
7 And I saw him come close unto
the ram, and he was moved with
choler against him, and smote the
ram, and brake his two horns:
and there was no power in the
ram to stand before him, but he
cast him down to the ground, and
.stamped upon him: and there was
none that could deliver the ram
out of his hand.
8 Therefore the he goat waxed
very great: and when he was
strong, the great horn was brok-
en; and for it came up four
notable ones toward the four
winds of heaven.
9 And out of one of them came
forth a little horn, which waxed
exceedmg great, toward the
south, and toward the east, and
toward the pleasant land.
10 And it waxed great, even to
the host of heaven; and it cast
down some of the host and of the
stars to the ground, and stamped
upon them.
11 Yea, he magnified him.self
even to the prince of the host,
and by him the daily sacrifice
was taken away, and the place of
his sanctuary was cast down.
12 And a host was given him
against the daily sacrifice by rea-
son of transgression, and it cast
down the truth to the ground;
and it practised, and prospered.
13 IT Then I heard one saint
speaking, and another saint said
unto that certain saint which
spake. How long shall be the vis-
ion concerning the daily sacrifice,
and the transgression of desola-
tion, to give both the sanctuary
and the host to be trodden under
lOOl c
14 And he said unto me. Unto
two thousand and three hundred
days; then shall the sanctuary be
cleansed.
15 IF And it. came to pass, when
i.even 1 Daniel, had seen the vis-
ion, and sought for the meaning,
then, behold, there stood before
nie as the appearance of a
man.
16 And I heard a man's voice
between the banks of Ulai, which
called, and said, Gabriel, make
tins man to understand the vision.
17 feo he came near where 1
stood: and when he came, I was
atraul, and fell upon my face:
but he said unto me. Understand,
son of man: for at the time of
the end shall be the vision.
18 Now as he was speaking with
nie. I was m a deep sleep on my
face toward the gromid: but he
touched me, and set me up-
right. ^
19 And he said. Behold, I will
make thee know what shall be in
the last end of the indignation :
1 ^^i^^ *™® appointed the end
shall be.
20 The ram which thou sawest
^i^XF§-*^o *ioi""s are tlie kings
of Media and Persia.
21 And the rough goat is the
king of Grecia: and the great
horn that is between his eyes is
the hrst king.
22 Now that being broken,
whereas four stood up for it, four
kingdoms shall stand up out of
the nation, but not in his power
23 And m the latter time of their
kingdom, when the transgressors
are come to the full, a king of
nerce. countenance, and under-
standing dark sentences, shall
stand up.
24 And his power shall be
mighty, but not by his own
power: and he shall destroy won-
derfully, and shall prosper, and
practise, and shall destroy the
mighty and the holy people.
25 And through his policy he
shall cause craft to prosper in his
iiand; and he shall magnify him-
395
u ii^'i '"^ heart, and by peace
shall destroy many : he shaU also
stand up agamst the Prince of
princes; but he shall be broken.
. 26 And the vision of the even-
ing and the morning which was
told is true: wherefore shut thou
up the vision; for it shall be for
many days.
27 And I Daniel fainted, and
was sick certain days; afterward
1 rose up. and did the kings busi-
ness; and I was astonislied at the
vision, but none understood it.

that hath an issue, and whoso-
ever is defiled by tlie dead :
3 Both male and female shall

Naaman, captain of the Syrian
army, cured of leprosy by Elisha.
2 Ki. 5—1 Now Naaman. captain
of the host of the king of Syria,
was a great man with his master,
396
and honourable, because by him
the Lord had given deliverance
unto Syria: he was also a mighty
man in valour, but he was a leper.
2 And the Syrians had gone out
by companies, and had brought
away captive out of the land of Is-
rael a little maid ; and she waited
on Naaman's wife.
3 And she said unto her mistress.
Would God my lord were with the
prophet that is in Samaria! for he
would recover him of his leprosy.
4 And one went in, and told his
lord, saying. Thus and thus said
the maid that is of the land of
Israel.
5 And the king of Syria said. Go
to, go, and I will send a letter unto
the king of Israel. And he de-
parted, and took with him ten
talents of silver, and six thousand
pieces of gold, and ten changes of
raiment.
6 And he brought the letter to
the king of Israel, saying. Now
when this letter is come unto thee,
behold, I have therewith sent Naa-
man my servant to thee, that thou
may est recover him of his leprosy.
7 And it came to pass, when the
king of Israel had read the letter,
that he rent his clothes, and said.
Am I God, to kill and to make
alive, that this man doth send
unto me to recover a man of his
leprosy? Wherefore consider, I
pray you, and see how he seeketh
a quarrel againt me.
8 IT And It was so, when Elisha
the man of God had heard that the
king of Israel had rent his clothes,
that he sent to the king, saying,
Wherefore hast thou rent thy
clothes? let him come now to me,
and he shall know that there is a
prophet in Israel.
9 So Naamaii came with his
horses and with his chariot, and
stood at the door of the house of
Elisha.
10 And Elisha sent a messenger
unto him, saying. Go and wash in
Jordan seven times, and thy flesh
sball come again to thee, and thou
shalt be clean.
11 But Naaman was wroth, and
went away, and said. Behold, I
thought, He will surely come out
to me. and stand, and call on the
name of the Lord his God, and
strike his hand over the place,
and recover the leper.
12 Are not Abana and Pharpar,
rivers of Damascus, better than al I
the waters of Israel? may I not
wash in them, and be clean? So
he turned and went away inarage.
13 And his servants came near,
and spake unto him, and said. My
father, if the prophet had bid thee
dosome great thing, wouldest thou
not have done it ? how much rather
then, when he saith to thee, Wash,
and be clean?
14 Then he went down, and dip-
ped himself seven timesin Jordan,
according to the saying of the man
of God: and his flesh came again
like unto the flesh of a little child,
and he was clean.
1.5 If And he returned to the man
of God, he and all his company,
and came, and stood before him:
and he said. Behold, now I know
that there is no God in all the
earth, but in Israel: now there-
fore, 1 pray thee, take a blessing
of thy servant.
16 But he said, As the Lord liv-
eth, before whom I stand, I will
receive none. And he urged him
to take it ; but he refused.
17 And Naaman said. Shall there
not then, 1 pray thee, be given to
thy servant two mules' burden of
earth? for thy servant will hence-
forth offer neither burnt offering
nor sacrifice unto other gods, but
unto the Lord.
18 In this thing the Lord pardon
thy servant, that when my master
goeth intothehouseof Rimmonto
worship there, and he leaneth on
my hand, and I bow myself in the
house of Rimmon: when I bow
down myself in the house of Rim-
mon, the Lord pardon thy ser-
vant in this thing.
19 And he said unto him, Go in
peace. So he departed from him
a little way.
20 H But Gehazi, the servant of
Elisha the man oi God, said, Be-
hold, my master hath spared Naa-
man this Syrian, in not receiving
at his hands that which he
brought : but, as the Lord liveth,
I will run, after him, and take
somewhat of him.
21 So Gehazi followed after Naa-
man. And when Naamansaw him
running after him, he lighted
down from the chariot to meet
him, and said. Is all well?
22 And he said. All is well. My
master hath sent me, saying, Be-
hold, even now there be come to
397
me from mount Ephraim two
young men of the sons of the
prophets: give them, I pray tliee,
a talent of silver, and two changes
of garments.
23 And Naamansaid.Becovtent,
take two talents. And he urged
him, and bound two talents of sil-
ver ni two bags, with two changes
of garments, ajid laid them upon
two of his servants ; and they bare
them before him.
24 And when he came to tlie
tower, lie took them from their
hand, and bestowed them in the
liouse: and he let the men go, and
tliey departed.
25 Hut he went in, and stood be-
fore his master. And Elisha said
unto liim. Whence comest thou,
Gehazi? And he said, Thy serv-
ant went no wliither.
26 And he said unto him, Went
not'mineheart with thee, when the
man turned again from his chariot
to meet thee? Is it a time to re-
ceive money, and to receive gar-
ments, and oliveyards. and vino-
yards, and sheep, and oxen, and
menservants, and maidservants?
27 The leprosy therefore of Naa-
man shall cleave unto thee, and
unto thy .seed for ever. And he
went out from his presence a
leper as white as sjiow.
Lu. 4—27 And many lepers were
in Israel in the time of Eliseus
the prophet: and none of them
was cleansed, saving Naaman the
Syrian.
Uzziah the leprous king.
In 2 Ki. 15. 1-7 you will find an
account of this same king under
the name of Azariah.
2 Clir. 26—16 But when Uzziah
th« king was strong, his heart was
lifted up to his destruction : for he
traiKsgressed against the Lord his
God, and went into the temple of
the Lord to burn incense upon
the altar of incense.
17 And Azariah the priest went
in after him, and with him four-
score priests of the Lord, that
were valiant men:
18 And they withstood Uzziah
the king, and said unto him. It ap-
pertaiiieth not imto thee, Uzziah,
to Imru incense untothe Lord, but
to the priests the sons of Aaron,
that are consecrated to burn in-
cense: go out of the saiu'.tuary;
for thou hast trespassed ; neither
shall it be for thine honour from
the Lord (iod.
19 Then Uzziah was wroth, and
had a censer in his hand to burn
incense: and while he was wroth
with the priests, the leprosy even
rose up in his forehead oefore the
priests in the house of the Lord,
from beside the incense altar.
20 And Azariah the chief priest,
and all the priests, looked upon
him, and, behold, he was leprous
in his forehead, and they thrust
him out from thence; yea, him-
self hasted also to go out, because
tlie Lord had smitten him.
21 And Uzziah the king was a
leper unto the day of his death,
and dwelt in a several house.
Cleansing of a leper.
Mar 1—40 And there came a
leper to him, beseeching him,
and kneeling down to him, and
saying unto him, If thou wilt,
thou canst make me clean.
41 And Jesus, moved with com-
passion, put forth his hand, and
touched him, and saith unto him,
I will ; be thou clean.
42 And as soon as he had spoken,
immediately the leprosy departed
from him, and he was cleansed.
43 And he straitly charged him,
and forthwith .sent him away;
44 And saith unto him. See thou
say nothing to any man: but go
thy way,shewthy.self totlie priest,
and offer for thy cleansing those
things which Moses commanded,
for a testimony unto them.
45 But he went out, and began
to publish it much, and to blaze
abroad the matter, in.somuch that
Jesus could lu) more openly enter
into the city, but was without in
desert places: and they came to
him from every quarter.
Cleansing of ten lepers.
Lu. 17—12 And as he entered in-
to a certain village, there met
him ten men that were lepers,
which stood afar off:
13 And they lifted up their
voices, and said. Jesus, Master,
have mercy on us.
14 And when he saw them, he
.said unto them. Go shew your-
selves unto the priests. And it
came to pass, that, iis they went,
they were cleansed.
398
15 And one of them, when he
saw that he was healed, turned
back, and with a loud voice glori-
fied God,
16 And fell down on his face at
his feet, giving him thanks: and
he was a Samaritan.
17 And Jesus answering said.
Were there not ten cleansed? but
where are the nine?
18 There are not found that re-
turned to give glory to God, save
this stranger.
19 And he said unto him, Arise,
go thy way : thy faith hath made
thee. whole. See also Ex.4. 6, 7, p.
151.
Elijah raised the widow's son to
life. See also 1 Ki. 17. 8-16, p. 83.
1 Ki. 17—17 And it came to pass
after these things, that the son of
the woman, the mistress of the
house, fell sick; and his sickness
was so sore, that there was no
breath left in him.
18 And she said unto Elijah,
What have I to do with thee, O
thou man of God? art thou come
unto me to call my sin to remem-
brance, and to slay my son?
19 And he said unto her. Give
me thy son. And he took him out
of her bosom, and carried him up
into a loft, where he abode, and
laid him upon his own bed.
20 And he cried unto the Lord,
and said, O Lord my God, hast
thou also brought evil upon the
widow with whom I sojourn, by
slaying her son?
21 And he stretched himself up-
on the child three times, and cried
unto the Lord, and said, O Lord
my God, I pray thee, let this
child's soul come into him again.
22 And the Lord heard the
voice of Elijah; and the soul of
the child came into him again,
and he i-evived.
23 And Elijah took the child,
and brought him down out of the
chamber into the house, and de-
livered him unto hismother: and
Elijah said, See, thy son liveth.
24 And the woman said to Eli-
jali. Now by this I know that thou
art a man of God, and that the
word of the Lord in thy mouth is
truth.
2 Ki. 4—8 And it fell on a day,
that Elisha passed to Shunem,
where was a great woman; and
she constrained him to eat bread.
And so it was, that as oft as he
passed by, he turned in thither to
eat bread.
9 And she said tmto her hus-
band, Behold now, I perceive that
this is a holy man ot God, which
passeth by us continually.
10 Let us make a little chamber,
I pray thee, on the wall ; and let
us set for him there a bed, and a
table, and a stool, and a candle-
stick: and it shall be, when he
cometh to us, that he shall turn
in thither.
11 And it fell on a day, that he
came thither, and he turned into
the chamber, and lay there.
12 And he said to Gehazi his
servant. Call this Shunammite.
And when he had called her, she
stood before him.
13 And he said unto him, Say
now unto her. Behold, thou hast
been careful for us with all this
care ; what is to be done for thee?
wouldest thou be spoken for to
the king, or to the captain of the
host? And she answered, I dwell
among mine own
peopk
What
Elisha raised the
mite's son to life.
Shunam-
be done for her? And Gehazi an-
swered. Verily she hath no child,
and her husband is old.
15 And he said. Call her. And
when he had called her, she stood
in the door.
16 And he said. About this sea-
son, according to the time of life,
thou shalt embrace a son. And
she said. Nay, my lord, thou man
of God, do not lie imto thine hand-
maid.
17 And the woman conceived,
and bare a son at that season that
Elisha had said rxnto her, accord-
ing to the time of life.
18 And when the child was
grown, it fell on a day, that he
went out to his father to the
reapers.
19 And he .said unto his father.
My head, my head ! And he said
to a lad. Carry him to his mother.
20 And when he had taken him
to his mother, he sat on her knees
till noon, and then died.
21 And she went up, and laid
him on the bed of tne man of
God, and shut the door upon him,
and went out.
399
22 And she called unto her hus-
band, and said, Seud nie, 1 pray
thee, one of the young men, and
one of the asses, that 1 may run to
the man of God, and come agaui.
23 And he said. Wherefore wilt
thou go to him to day? it is nei-
ther new moon, nor sabbath. And
she said. It shall be well.
•24 Then she saddled an ass, and
said to her servant, Drive, and go
forward ; slack not thy riding f or
me, except I bid thee.
25 So she went and came unto
the man of God to mount Carmel.
And it came to pass, when the man
of God saw her afar off, that he
said to Gehazi his servant. Be-
hold, yonder is that Shunanimite:
26 Run now, I pray thee, to meet
her, and say unto her, Is it well
with thee? is it well with thy
husband? is it well with the
child? Andshe answered. It is well.
27 And when she came to the
man of God to the hill, she caught
him by the feet: but Gehazi came
near to thrust her away. And the
man of God said. Let her alone;
for her soul is vexed within her:
and the Lord hath hid it from
me, and hath not told me.
28 Then she said. Did I desire a
son of my lord? did I not say. Do
not deceive me?
29 Then he said to Gehazi, Gird
up thy loins, and take my staff in
thine hand, and go thy way: if
thou meet any man, salute him
not; and if any salute thee,
answer him not again : and lay my
staff upon the face of the child.
30 And the mother of the child
said. As the Lord liveth, and as
thy soul liveth. I will not leave
thee. And he arose, and followed
her.
31 And Gehazi passed on before
them, and laid the staff upon the
face of the child; but there was
neither voice, nor hearing. Where-
fore he went again to meet him,
and told him, saying. The child
is not awaked.
32 And when Elisha was come
into the house, behold, the child
was dead, and laid upon his bed.
33 He went in therefore, and
shut the door upon them twain.
and prayed unto the Lord.
34 And he went up, and lay upon
the child, and put his mouth upon
his mouth, and his eyes upon his
eyes, and his hands upon his
hands: and he stretched himself
upon the child' and the flesh of
the child waxed warm.
35 Then he returned, and walked
ui the house to and fro, and went
up, and stretched himself upon
him: and the child sneezed seven
times, and opened his eyes.
36 And hecalled Gehazi. andsaid.
Call this Shunanimite. So he
called her. And when she was
come in unto him, he said. Take
up thy son.
37 Then she went in, and fell at
his feet, and bowed herself to the
ground, and took up her son, and
went out. See 2 Ki. 4, p. 83.
Joseph Blessing from his father
Jacob. See also Ge. 48. 22, p. 260.
Ge. 49—22 Jo.seph is a fruitful
bough, even a fruitful bough by a
well ; whose branches run over
the wall:
23 The archers have sorely griev-
ed him, and shot at him, and
hated him :
24 But hisbow abode in strength,
and the arms of his hands were
made strong by the hands of the
mighty God of Jacob; (from
thence is the shepherd, the stone
of Israel ;)
25 Even by the God of thy fa-
ther, who shall help thee; and
by the Almighty, who shall bless
thee with blessings of heaven
above, blessings of the dee^ that
iieth mider, blessings of the
breasts, and of the womb:
26 The blessings of thy father
have prevailed above the bless-
ings of my progenitors unto the
utmost bound of the everlasting
hills: they shall be on the head of
Joseph, and on the crown of the
head of him that was separate
from his brethren.
BEZALEEL AND AHOLIAB.
Men filled with the spirit of
God in wisdom. The men who
made the tabernacle after the
pattern given by God to Moses.
For a full description of the
tabernacle, see Ex. 25 to 27 and
36 to 40.
Ex. 35—30 And Moses said unto
the children of Israel, See, the
Lord hath called by name Beza-
leel of the tribe of Judah \
31 And he hath filled him with
the spirit of God, in wisdom, in
understanding, and in knowledge.
400
and in all manner of workman-
ship;
32 And to devise curious wotks,
to work in gold, and in silver, and
in b'-ass,
33 And in the cutting of stones,
to set them , and in carvingof wood ,
to make any manner of cunning
work.
M And he hath put in his heart
that he may teacli, both he, and
Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of
the tribe of Dan.
35 Them hath he filled with wis-
dom of heart, to work all manner
of work, of the eugi-aver, and of
the cunning workman, and of the
embroiderer, in blue, and in pur-
ple, in scarlet, and in line linen,
and of tlie weaver, even of tliem
that do any work, and of those
that devise cunning work.
Ex. 38—22 And Bezaleel, of the
tribe of Judah, made all that the
Lord commanded Moses.
23 And with him was Aholiab,
of the tribe of Dan, an engraver,
and a cunning workman, and an
embroiderer in blue, and in pur-
ple, and in scarlet, and tine linen.
THE LAVER OF BRASS.
Ex. 30—17 And the Lokd spake
unto Moses, saying,
18 Thou shalt also make a laver
of brass, and his foot also of brass,
to wash withal: and thou shalt
put it between the tabernacle of
the congregation and the altar,
and thou shalt put water therein.
19 For Aaron and his sons shall
wash their hands and their feet
thereat :
20 When they go into the taber-
nacle of the congregation, thev
shall wash with water, that they
die not ; or when they come near to
the altar to mmister, to burn offer-
ing made by fire unto the Lord:
21 So they shall wash their hands
and their feet, that they die not:
and it shall be a statute for ever to
them, even to him and to his seed
throughout their generations.
Ex. 38—8 And lie made the laver
of brass, and the foot of it of brass,
of the lookingglassesof the women
assembling, which assembled at
the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation.
The call of Cyrus. See also Ezr.
1. and 3. 8, and Solomon's temple,
p. 366.
Is. 45—1 Thus saith the Lord to
his anointed, to Cyrus, whose
right hand have holden, to sub-
due nations before him ; and I will
loose the loins of kings, to open
before him the twoleaved gates;
and the gates shall not be shut ;
2 1 will go before thee, and make
the crooked places straight : I will
break in pieces the gates of brass,
and cut in sunder the bars of iron :
3 And I will give thee tliH treas-
ures of darkness, and liidden
riches of secret places, that tliou
mayest know that I, the Lord,
which call thee by thy name, am
the God of Israel.
4 For Jacob my servant's sake,
and Israel mine elect, I have even
called thee by thy name: I have
sumamed thee, though thou hast
not known me.
5 I am the Lord, and there is
none else, there is no God besides
me: I girdeth thee, though thou
hast not known me. Continued
on p. 101.
The mighty leviathan. See also
Is. 27. 1, p. 262.
Job 41—1 Canst thou draw out
leviathan with a hook? or his
tongue with a cord which thou
lettest down?
2 Canst thou put a hook into
his nose? or bore his jaw through
with a thoni?
3 Will he make many supplica-
tions imtothee? will he speak soft
words unto thee?
4 Will he make a covenant with
thee? wilt thou take him for a
servant for ever?
5 Wilt thou play with him as
with a bird? or wilt thou bind
him for thy maidens?
6 Shall the companions make a
banquet of him? shall they part
him among the merchants?
7 Canst thou fill his skin with
barbed irons? or his head with
fish spears.
8 Lay thine hand upon him, re-
member the battle, do no more.
9 Behold, the hope of him is in
vain: shall not one be cast down
even at the sight of him?
10 None is so fierce that dare
stir him up: who then is able to
stand before me?
11 Wlio hath prevented me, that
I should repay him? whatsoever is
under the whole heaven is mine.
401
12 I will not conceal his parts,
nor his power, nor his comely
proportion.
13 Who can discover the face of
his garment? or who can come to
him with his douhle bridle?
14 Who can open the doors of
his face? his teeth are terrible.
15 His scales are his pride, shut
up together as with a close seal.
16 One is so near to another, that
no air can come between them.
17 They are joined one to an-
other, they stick togetlier, that
they cannot be sundered. .
18 By his neesings a light doth
shine, and his eyes are like the
eyelids of the morning.
19 Out of his mouth go burning
lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.
20 Out of his nostrils goeth
smoke, as out of a seething pot or
caldron.
21 His breath kindleth coals, and
a flame goeth out of his mouth.
22 In his neck remaineth
strength, and sorrow is turned into
joy before him.
23 The flakes of his flesh are
joined together: they are firm
in themselves; they cannot be
moved.
24 His heart is as firm as a stone ;
yea, as hard as a piece of the
nether millstone.
25 When he rr.iseth up himself,
the mighty are afraid : by reason
of breakings they pvirify them-
selves.
26 The sword of him that layeth
at him cannot hold: the spear, the
dart, nor the habergeon.
27 He esteemeth iron as straw,
and brass as rotten wood.
28 The arrow cannot make him
flee : sling stones are turned with
him into stubble.
29 Darts are counted as stubble:
he laugheth at the shaking of a
spear.
30 Sharp stones are under him :
he spreadeth sharp pointed things
upon the mire.
31 He maketh the deep to boil
like a pot: he maketh the sea
like a pot of ointment.
32 He maketh a path to shine
after him; one would think the
deep to be hoary.
33 Upon earth there is not his
like, who is made without fear.
34 Hebeholdeth all high things:
he is a king over all the children
of pride.
EZEKIEL'S VISION.
The mark preserved. See also
Re. 13. 16, 17, p. 63.
Eze. 9—1 He cried also in mine
ears with a loud voice, saying.
Cause them that have charge
over the city to draw near, even
every man with his destroying;
weapon in bis hand.
2 And, behold, six men came
every man a slaughter weapon in
his hand; and one man among
them was clothed with linen, with
a writer's inkhom by his side:
and they went in, and stood be-
side the Drazen altar.
3 And the glory of the God of
Israel was gone up from the cher-
ub. And he called to the man
clothed with linen.
4 And theLoKD said. Go through
the midst of Jerusalem, and set a
mark upon the foreheads of the
men that sigh and that cry for all
the abominations that be done in
the midst thereof.
5 And to the others he said, Go
ye after him through the city, and
smite: let not your eye spare,
neither have ye pity :
6 Slay utterly old and young,
both maids, and little children,
and women : but come not near
any man upon whom is the mark ;
and begin at my sanctuary. Then
they began at the ancient men
which were before the house.
7 And he said unto them. Defile
the house, and fill the courts with
the slain: go ye forth. And they
went forth, and slew in the city.
8 And while they were slaying
them, I fell upon my face, and
cried, and said. Ah Lord God!
wilt thou destroy all the residue
of Israel in thy pouring out of thy
fury upon Jerusalem?
9 Then said he unto me. The in-
iquity of the house of Israel and
Judan is exceeding great, and the
land is full of blood, and the city
full of perverseness: for they say.
The Lord hath forsaken the
earth, and the Lord seeth not.
10 And as for me also, mine eye
shall not spare, neither will 1 have
pity, but I will recompense their
way upon their head.
11 And the man clothed with
linen, which had the inkhom by
his side, reported, saying, I have
done as thou commanded me.
402
Aaron's two sons, for offering
strange lire before the Lord, are
destroyed by fire from the Lord.
Le. 1ft— 1 And Nadaband Abihu,
the sons of Aaron, took either of
them his censer, and put fire
thereiri, and put incense tliereon,
and offered strange lire before
the Lord, which he commanded
them not.
2 And there went out fire from
the Lord, and devoured tliem,
and they died before the Lord.
3 Then Moses said unto Aaron.
This is it tliat the Lord spake,
saying, I will be sanctified in
them that come nigh me, and be-
fore all the people I will be glori-
fied. And Aaron held his peace.
4 And Moses called Mishael and
Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the
uncle of Aaron, and said unto
them. Come near, carry your
brethren from Ijefore the sanc-
tuary out of the camp.
5 bo they went near, and carried
them in their coats out of the
camp; as Moses had said.
6 And Moses said unto Aaron,
and unto Eleazar and unto Itha-
mar. his' sons. Uncover not your
heads, neither rend your clothes;
lest ye die. and lest wrath come
upon all the people: but let your
brethren, the whole house of Is-
rael, bewail the burning which
the Lord hath kindled.
7 And ye shall not go out from
the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation, lest ye die: for the
anointing oil of the Lord is upon
you. And they did according to
the word of Moses.
■Israelites destroyed by fire from
the Lord. They also worried
Moses to that extent that he
asked the Lord to kill him. Thus
did the Lord's chosen people, p.
234. Passing through fire, etc.
Nu. 11—1 And when the people
complained, it displeased the
Lord; and the fire of the Lord
burnt among them, and consumed
them that were in the uttermost
parts of the camp.
2 And the people cried unto Mo-
ses; and when Moses prayed unto
the Lord, the fire was quenched.
3 And he called the name of the
place Taberah : because the fire of
the Lord burnt among them.
11 And Moses said unto the
Lord, Wherefore hast thou afflict-
ed thy servant? that thou layest
the burden of all this people upon
me?
14 I am not able to bear all this
people alone, because it is too
heavy for me.
15 And if thou deal thus with
me, kill me, I pray thee, out of
hand, if I have found favour in
thy sight ; and let me not see my
wretchedness.
2 Ki. 17—17 And they caused
their sons and their daughters to
pass through the fire, and used di-
vination and enchantments, and
sold themselves to do evil in the
sight of the Lord, to provoke him
to anger.
2 Ki. 21—6 And Manassah made
his son pass through the fire, and
observed times, and used enchant-
ments, and dealt with familiar
spirits and wizards.
2 Chr. 28— 3 Moreover Ahaz burnt
incense in the valley of the son of
Hmnom, and burnt his children
in the fire, after the abominations
of the heathen.
THE LAST WORDS OF
DAVID.
2 Sa. 23—1 Now these be the last
words of David. David the son of
Jesse said, and the man who was
raised up on high, the anointed
of the God of Jacob, and the sweet
psalmist of Israel, said,
2 The Spirit of the Lord spake
by me, and his word was in my
tongue.
3 The God of Israel said, the
Rock of Israel spake to me. He
that ruleth over men must be just,
ruling in the fear of God.
4 And he shall be asthe light of
the morning, when the sunriseth,
even a morning without clouds;
as the tender grass springing out
of the earth by clear shining after
rain.
5 Although my house be not so
with God ; yet he hath made with
me an everlasting covenant.
6 But the sons of Belial shall be
as thorns thrust away, becaiise
they cannot be taken with hands :
7 But the man that shall touch
them must be fenced with iron
and the staff of a spear • and they
shall be utterly burned with fire
in the same place, p. 429.

BATTLES. JEWISH LAWS IN REGARD, QUOTATIONS. ETC.
Remarkable and mysterious
battles mentioned in the Bible,
p. 403-436. See also Ju. 8. 10, p.
494; Nu. 21, p. 144; War. p. 324; and
the greatest of all armies. 200,-
000,000 men all on white horses,
and all in heaven, according to
St. John, Re. 9. 16, p. 119, and Re.
19. 14, p. 535, and Job 39. 25, p. 128 ;
Job 41. 8, p. 400; Ec. 9. 11. p. 195;
Zee. 10. 3, p. 271 ; Spoil, p. 266.
De. 20—1 When thou goest out to
battle against thine enemies, and
seest horses, and chariots, and a
people more than thou, be not
afraid of them: for the Lord thy
God is with thee, which brought
thee up out of the laud of Egypt.
2 And when ye are come nigh
unto the battle, the priest shall
speak unto the people.
3 And say iinto them. Hear, O
Israel, ye approach this day unto
battle against your enemies: let
not your hearts faint, fear not,
and do not tremble, neither be ye
terrified because of them ;
4 For the Lord your God is he
that goeth with you, to fight for
you against your enemies, to save
you.
5 And other ofHcers shall speak
uutothe people, saying. What man
is there that hath built a new
house, and hath not dedicated it?
let him go and return to his house,
lest he die in the battle, and an-
other man dedicate it.
6 And what man hath planted
a vineyard, and hath not yet eaten
of it? let him also go and return
unto his house, lest he die in the
battle, and another man eat of it.
7 And what man is there that
hath betrothed a wife, and hath
not taken her? let him go and re-
turn unto his house, lest he die in
the battle, and another man take
her.
8 And what man is there, that is
fearful and fainthearted? let him
go and return unto his house, lest
his brethren's heart faint as well
as his heart.
9 And when the pfHcers have
made an end of speaking unto the
people, they shall make captains
of the armies to lead the people.
De. 21—10 When thou goest forth
to war against thine enemies, and
the Lord thy God hath delivered
them into thine hands, and thou
hast taken them captive,
11 And seest among the captives
a beautiful woman, and hast a de-
sire unto her, that thou wouldest
have her to thy wife ;
12 Then thou shalt bring her
home to thine house; and she
shall shave her head, and pare her
nails;
13 And put the raiment of her
captivity from off of her, and shall
remain in thine house, and bewail
her father and her mother a full
month: and after that thou shalt
go in unto her, and be her hus-
band, and she shall be thy wife.
14 And if thou have no delight
in her, then thou shalt let her go
whither she will ; but thou shalt
not sell her f(jr money, thou shalt
not make merchandise of her, be-
cause thou hast humbled her.
De. 24—5 When a man hath
taken a new wife, he shall not go
out to war, neither shall he be
charged with any business: but he
shall be free at home one year,
and shall cheer up his wife which
he hath taken.

bows, and could use both the right
hand and the left in hurling stones
and shooting arrows, even of
Saul's brethren of Benjamin.

me with strength unto the battle.
Ps. 78.-9 The children of Eph-
raim, being armed, and carrying

battle.

and garments rolled in blood ; but
this shall be with burning and
fuel of fire.
Je. 46—3 Order ye the buckler
and shield, and draw near to
battle.
Je. 50—22 A sound of battle is in

axe and weapons of war: for with
thee will I oreak in pieces the
nations, and with thee will I de-
stroy kingdoms.

trumpet, even to make all ready;
but none goeth to the battle.

The tirst battle. The battle of
four kings against five, and
Abram's battle with the victor-
ious four kings.
Ge. 14—5 And in the fourteenth
year came Chedorlaomer, and the
kings that were with him, and
.smote the Rephaim in Ashteroth
KamaimLandthe Zuzim in Ham,
and the Emim in Shaveh Kiria-
thaim,
6 And the Horites in their
mount Seir, unto El-paran, which
is by the wilderness.
7 And they returned, and came
to En-mishpat, which is Kadesh,
and smote all the country of the
Amalekites, and also the Amo-
rites, that dwelt in Hazezon-
tamar.
8 And there went out the king
of Sodom, and the king of Gormor-
rah, and the king of Admah, and
the king of Zeboiim.and the king
of Bela, (the same is Zoar;) and
they joined battle with them in
the vale of Siddim :
9 With Chedorlaomer the king
of Elam, and with Tidal king of
nations, and Amraphel king of
Shinar, and Arioch king of El-
lasar; four kings with five.
10 And tlie vale of (Siddim was
full of slimepits; and the kings of
Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and
fell there ; and they that remained
fled to the mountain.
11 And they took all the goods
of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all
their victixals, and went then-
way.
12 And they took Lot, Abram's
brother's son, who dwelt in
Sodom, and his goods, and de-
parted.
13 And there came one that
had escaped, and told Abram the
Hebrew ; for he dwelt in the plain
of Mamre the Amorite, brother of
Eshcol, and brother of Aner:
and these were confederate with
Abram.
14 And when Abram heard that
his brother was taken captive, he
armed his trained servants, born
in his own house, three hundred
and eighteen, and pursued them
unto Dan.
15 And he divided himself a-
gainst them, he and his servants,
by night, and smote them, and
pursued them unto Hobah, which
IS on the left hand of Damascus.
16 And he brought back all the
goods, and also brought again his
brother Lot, and his goods, and
the women also, and the people.
Vrs. 17. 20, p. 223.
21 And the king of Sodom said
unto Abram, Give me the persons,
and take the goods to thyself.
22 And Abram said to the king
of Sodom, I have lifted up mine
hand unto the Lord, the most
high God, the possessor of heaven
and earth,
23 That I will not take from a
thread even to a shoelachet, and
that I will not take any thing that
is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I
have made Abram rich :
24 Save only that which the
young men have eaten, and the
portion of the men which went
with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mam-
re ; let them take their portion.
Moses' battle with Amalek in
Rephidim. "Hands up."
Ex. 27— SThencame Amalek.and
fought with Israel in Rephidim.
9 And Moses said unto Joshua,
Choose us out men, and go out,
fight with Amalek: to morrow
I will stand on the top of the
hill with the rod of God in mine
hand.
10 So Joshua did as Moses had
said to him, and foughtwith Ama-
lek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur
went up to the top of the hill.
11 And it came to pass, when
Moses held up his hand, that
Lsrael prevailed: and when he
let down his hand, Amalek pre-
vailed.
12 But Moses' hands were heavy ;
and they took a stone, and put it
under him, and he sat thereon ;
and Aaron and Hur stayed up his
hands, the one on the one side,
and the other on the other side ;
and his hands were steady until
the going down of the sun.
13 And Joshua discomfited Ama-
lek and his people with the edge
of the sword.
14 And the Lokd said unto Mo-
ses, Write this for a memorial in
a book, and rehearse it in the ears
of Joshua: fori will utterly put
out the remembrance of Amalek
from under heaven.
15 And Moses built an altar, and
called the name of it Jehovah-
nissi :
405
16 For he said. Because the Lord
hath sworn that the Lord will
have war with Amalek from geu-
eration to generation.
De. 25—17 Remember what Am-
alek did unto thee by the way,
when ye were come forth out of
Egypt ;
18 How he met thee by the way,
and smote the hindmost of thee,
even all that were feeble beliind
thee, when thou wast faint and
weary; and he feared not God.
19 Therefore it shall be, when
the Lord thy God hath given thee
rest from all tliiue enemies round
about, in tlie land which tlie Lord
thy God givetli thee for an inher-
itance to possess it, that thou
shalt blot out the remembrance
of Amalek from luider heaven;
thou shalt not forget it.
Ex. 23— '20 Behold, I send an An-
gel [supposed to be Christ] before
thee, to Keep thee in the way, and
to bring thee into the place which
I have prepared.
21 Beware of him, and obey his
voice, provoke him not; for he
will not pardon your transgres-
sions: for my name is in him.
22 But if thou shalt indeed obey
his voice, and do all that I speak ;
then 1 will be an enemy uuto
thine enemies, and an adversary
unto thine adversaries.
23 For mine Angel shall go be-
fore thee, and bring thee in unto
the Amorites.aud theHittites.and
thePerizzites,andthe Canaauites,
the Hivites, and the Jebusites;
and 1 will cut them off.

Battle with the Midianites.
"Kill all the males, but save the
maidens alive for yourselves."
Balaam killed, see also Balaam,
Nu. 22. 27-30. p. 12.
Nu. 31—1 And the Lord spake
mito Moses, saying,
2 Avenge the childreu of Israel
of the Midianites: afterwardshalt
thou be gathered unto thy people.
6 And Moses sent them to the
war, a thousand of every tribe,
them and Phinehas the priest.
with the holy instruments, and
the trumpets to blow.
7 And tliey warred against the
Midianites, as the Lord com-
manded Moses; and they slew all
the males.
8 And they slew the kings of
Midian, beside the rest of them
that were slain ; namely, Evi, and
Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and
Keba, live kings of Midian: Ba-
laam also the son of Beor they
slew with the sword.
9 And the children of Israel took
all tlie women of Midian captives,
and their little ones, and took the
spoil of all their cattle, and all
their tiocks, and all their goods.
10 And they burnt all tlieir
cities wherein they dwelt, and all
their goodly castles, with fire.
12 And they brought the cap-
tives, and the prey, and the spoil,
unto Moses and Eleazar the priest,
and unto the congregation of the
children of Israel, unto the camp
at the plains of Moab, which are
by Jordan near Jericho.
15 And Moses, said unto them,
Have ye saved all the women
alive?
17 Now therefore killeverymale
among the little ones, and kill
every womau that hath known
man by lying with him.
18 But all the women children,
that have not known a man by
lying with him, keep alive for
yourselves. Continued on p. 2C6.
The fall of Jericho: all the
men, women, children, and ani-
mals slaughtered ; nothing saved
alive except Rahab, the harlot.
Jos. 2—1 And Joshua the son of
Nun sent out of Shittim two men
to spy secretly, saying, Go view
the land, even Jericho. And they
went, and came into a harlot's
liou.se, named Rahab, and lodged
there.
2 And it was told the king <>f
Jericho, saying, Behold, there
came men in nither to night of
the children of Israel to search
out the country.
3 And the king of Jericho sent
unto Rahab, saying. Bring forth
the men that are come to thee,
which are entered into thine
house : for they be come to search
out all the country.
4 And the woman took the two
men, and lud tliem, and said thus,
406
There came inen unto me, but I
wist not whence they were :
6 But she had brought them up
to the roof of the house, and hid
them with the stalks of flax.
12 Now therefore, 1 pray you,
swear unto me by the Lord, since
I have shewed you kindness, that
ye will also shew kindness unto
my father's house :
13 And that ye will save alive
my father, and my mother, and
my brethren, and my sisters, and
all that they have.
14 And the men answered her,
Our life for yours, if ye utter not
this our business. And it shall
be, when the Lord hath given us
the land, that we will deal kindly
and truly with thee.
15 Then she let them down by a
cord through the window : for her
house was upon the town wall.
18 Behold, when we come into
the land, thou shalt bind this line
of scarlet thread in the window
which thou didst let us down by:
and thou shalt bring thy father,
and thy mother, and thy breth-
ren, and all thy father's house-
hold, home unto thee.
21 And she said. According unto
your words, so be it. And they
departed: and she bound the
scarlet line in the window.
Jos. 6—1 Now Jericho was straitly
shut up becau.se of the children of
Israel: none went out, and none
came in.
2 And the Lord said unto Josh-
ua, See, I- have given into thine
hand Jericho, and the king there-
of, and the mighty men of valour.
3 And ye shall compass the city,
all ye men of war, and go round
about the city once. Thus shalt
thou do six days.
4 And .seven priests shall bear
before the ark seven trumpets of
rams' horns: and the seventh day
ye shall compass the city seven
times, and the priests shall blow
with the trumpets.
16 And it came to pass at the
seventh time, when the priests
blew with the trumpets, Joshua
.said unto the people. Shout; for
the Lord hath given you tlie city.
20 So the people shouted when
the priests olew with the trum-
pets: and the wall fell down Hat,
so that the people went up into
the city, every man straight be-
fore him, and they took the city.
21 And they utterly destroyed
all that was in the city, both man
and woman, young and old, and
ox, and sheep, andf ass, with the
edge of the sword.
22 But Joshua had said unto the
two men that had spied out the
country. Go into tne harlot's
house, and bring out thence the
woman, and all that she hath.
23 And the young men went in,
and brought out Rahab, and her
father, mother, brethren, and all
that she had; and they brought
out all her kindred,
24 And they burnt the city with
fire, and all that was therein:
only the silver, and the gold, and
the vessels of brass and of iron,
they put into the treasury of the
house of the Lord.
25 And Joshua saved Rahab the
harlot alive, and all that she had ;
and she dwelleth in Israel even
imto this day; because she hid
the messengers, which Joshua
sent to spy out Jericho.
26 II And Joshua adjured tliem
at that time, saying. Cursed he
the man before the Lord, that
riseth up and buildeth this city
Jericho: he shall laj; the founda-
tion thereof in his firstborn, and
in his youngest son shall he set up
the gates of it.
27 So the Lord was with Joshua ;
and his fame was noised through-
out all the country.
1 Ki. 16—34 IT In his days did
Hielthe Beth-elite build Jericho:
he laid the formdation thereof in
Abham his firstborn, and set up
the gates thereof in his youngest
son Segub, according to the word
of the Lord, which he spake by
Joshua the son of Nun.
The city of Ai taken and burnt
by Joshua, who hanged the king
and slaughtered twelve thousand
men, women, and children, all
by the Lord's command.
Jos. 8—18 And the Lord said un-
to Joshua, Stretch out the spear
that is in thy hand toward Ai : for
I will give it into thine hand.
And Joshua stretched out the
spear that he had toward the city.
25 And so it was, that all that
fell that day, both of men and
women, were twelve thousand,
even all the men of Ai.
26 For Joshua drew not his hand
back, wherewith he stretched out
407
the spear, until he had utterly de-
stroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
27 Only the cattle and the spoil
of that city Israel took for a prey
unto themselves, according unto
the word of the Lord which he
commanded Joshua.
28 And Joshua burnt Ai, and
made it a heap for ever, even a
desolation unto this day.
29 And the king of Ai he hanged
on a tree until eventide: and as
soon as the sun was down, Joshua
commanded that they should take
his carcass down from the tree,
and cast it at the entering of the
gate of the city, and raise thereon
a great heap of stones, that re-
maineth unto this day. See Jos.
7, p. 277.
The battle at Gibeon, where
Joshua commanded the sun and
moon to stand still, and where the
Lord cast down stones from
heaven upon the people, and
killed more of them than the
children of Israel did with the
sword. Joshua hanged the king
of Jerusalem, etc. See also Jos. U.
6, 9, p. 127.
Jos. 10—1 Now it came to pass,
when Adoni-zedek king of Jeru-
salem had heard how Joshua had
taken Ai, and had utterly destroy-
ed it; as he had done to Jericho
and her king, so he had done to
Ai and her king: and how the
inhabitants of Gioeon had made
peace with Israel, and were among
them ;
2 That they feared greatly, be-
cause Gibeon was a great city, as
one of the royal cities, and be-
cause it was greater than Ai, and
all the men thereof were mighty.
3 Wherefore Adoni-zedek king
of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham
king of Hebron, and unto Piram
king of Jarmiith. and unto Japliia
king of Lachish, and unto Debir
king of Eglon, saying,
4 Come up unto me, and help
me, that we may smite Gibeon:
f or it hath madepeace with Joshua
and with the children of Israel.
5 Therefore the five kings of the
Amorites. the king of Jerusalem,
the king of Hebron, the king of
Jarmuth, the kiugof Lachish, the
kings of Eglon, gathered them-
selves together, and went up,
they and all their hosts, and en-
camped before Gibeon. and made
war against it.
8 And the Lord said unto
Joshua.^ Fear them not: for I
have delivered them into thine
hand; there shall not a man of
them stand before thee.
9 Joshua therefore came unto
them suddenly, and went up from
Gilgal all night.
10 And the Lord discomfited
them before Israel, and slew them
with a great slaughter at Gibeon,
and chased them along the way
that goeth up to Beth-horon, and.
smote them to Azekah, and unto
Makkedah.
11 And it came to pass, as they
tied from before Israel, and were
in the going down to Beth-horon.
that the Lord cast down great
stones from heaven upon them
unto Azekah, and they died : they
were more which died with hail-
stones than they whom the chil-
dren of Israel slew with the sword .
12 Then spake Joshua to the
Lord in the day when the Lord
delivered up the Amorites before
the children of Israel, and he said
in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand
thou still upon Gibeon; and thou.
Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
13 And the sun stood still, and
the moon stayed, until the pedple
had avenged themselves upon
their enemies. Is not this written
in the book of Jasher? So the sun
stood still in the midst of heaven,
and hasted not to go down about
a whole day.
14 And there was no day like
that before it or after it, that the
Lord hearkened unto the voice of
a man : for the Lord fought for
Israel.
15 And Joshua returned, and
all Israel with him, unto the
camp to Gilgal.
16 But these live kings fled, and
hid themselves in a cave.
22 Then said Joshua, Open the
mouth of the cave, and bring out
those five kings unto me.
23 And they did so. and brought
forth those five kings unto him
out of the cave, the king of Jeru-
salem, the king of Hebron, the
king of Jarmuth. the king of La-
chish. and the king of Eglon.
24 And it came to pass, when
they brought out those kings unto
Joshua, that Joshua called for all
the men of Israel, and said unto
408
the captains of the men of war
which went with him. Come near,
put your feet upon the necks of
these kings. And they came near,
and put their feet upon the necks
of them.
25 And Joshua said unto them,
Fear not, nor be dismayed, be
strong and of good courage: for
thus shall the Lord do to all your
enemies against whom ye tight.
26 And afterward Joshua slew
them, and hanged them on five
trees: and they were hangingupou
the trees until the evening.
27 And it came to pass at the
time of the going down of the sun,
that Joshuacommanded, and they
took them down off the trees, and
cast them into the cave wherein
tliey had been hid, and laid great
stones in the cave's mouth, which
remain until this very day. See
also Jos. 12, p. 144.
Ehud's battle with the Moa-
bites, 10,000 slain. See also Jerusa-
lem taken, Jos. 15, Ju. l, and 2 Sa.
6, p. 33.
Ju. 3—12 And the children of Is-
rael did evil again in the sight of
the Lord : and the Lord strength-
ened Eglon the king of Moab
against Israel.
13 And he gathered unto him the
children of Amnion and Amalek,
and went and smote Israel, and
possessed the city of palm trees.
14 So the children of Israel
served Eglon the king of Moab
eighteen years.
15 But when the children of Is-
rael cried unto the Lord, the
Lord raised them up a deliverer,
Ehud the son of Gera.aBeiijamite,
a man lefthanded : and by him the
children of Israel sent a present
unto Eglon the king of Moab.
16 But Ehud made him a dagger
which had two edges, of a cubit
length; and he did gird it under
his raiment upon his right thigh.
17 And he brought the present
unto Eglon king of Moab: and
Eglon was a very fat man.
18 And when hehad madeaneud
to offer the present, he sent away
the people that bare the present.
19 But he himself turned again
from the quarries that were by
Gilgal, and said, I have a secret
errand unto thee, O king: who
said. Keep silence. And all that
stood by him went out from him.
20 And Ehud came unto him;
and he was sitting in a summer
parlour, which he had for himself
alone: and Ehud said, I have a
messagefrom God unto thee. And
he arose out of his seat.
21 And Ehud put forth his left
hand, and took the dagger from
his right thigh, and thrust it into
his belly:
22 And the haft also went in
after the blade ; and the fat closed
upon the blade, so that he could
not draw the dagger out of his
bellv ; and the dirt came out.
23Then Ehud went forth through
the porch, and shut the doors of
tlie parlour upon him, and locked
thena.
24 When he was gone out, his
servants came; and when they
saw that, behold, the doors of the
parlour were locked, they said,
Surely he covereth his feet in his
summer chamber.
25 And they tarried till they
were ashamed: and, behold, he
opened not the doors of the par-
lour; therefore they took a key,
and opened them: and, behold,
their lord was fallen down dead
on the earth.
26 And Ehud escaped while they
tarried, and passed beyond the
quarries, unto Seirath.
27 And when he was come, he
blew a trumpet m the mountain
of Ephraim, and the children of
Israel went down with him from
the mount, and he before them.
29 And they slew of Moab at
that t ime about ten thousand men,
all lusty, and all men of valour;
and there escaped not a man.
30 So Moab was subdued that
dayunderthehandof Israel. And
the land had rest fourscore years.
31 And after him was Shamgar,
which slew of the Philistmes six
hundred men with an oxgoad:
and he also delivered Israel.
Deborah and Barak's victory
over Jabin and Sisera. Jael, He-
ber's, wife killeth Sisera.
Ju.4 —1 And the children of Is-
rael again did evil in the sight of
Lord, when Ehud was dead.
2 And the Lord sold them into
the hand of Jabin king of Canaan,
that reigned in Ilazor; the cap-
tain of whose host was Sisera.
which dwelt in Harosheth of the
Gentiles.
409
3 And the children of Israel cried
unto the Lokd: for he had nine
hundred chariots of iron; and
twenty years he mightily oppress-
ed the children of Israel.
4 IT And Deborah, a prophetess,
the wife of Lapidoth, she judged
Israel at that time.
5 And she dwelt under the palm
tree of Deborah, between Raniah
and Beth-el in mount Ephraim:
and the children of Israel came
up to her for judgment.
6 And she sent and called Barak
the son of Abinoam out of Ke-
desh-naphtali.and said tuito him,
Hath not the Lord God of Israel
commanded, saying. Go and di'aw
toward mount Tabor, and take
with thee ten thousand men of
the children of Naphtali and of
the children of Zebuluu?
7 And I will draw unto thee, to
the river Kishon, Sisera the cap-
tain of Jabin's army, with his
chariots and his multitude ; and I
will deliver him uito thine hand.
8 And Barak said unto her. If
thou wilt go with me, then 1 will
go: but if thou wilt not go with
me, then I will not go.
9 And she said, I will surely go
with thee: notwithstanding the
ioui'ney that thou takest shall not
be for thine honour ; for the Lord
shall sell Sisera into the hand of a
woman. And Deborah arose, and
went with Barak to Kedesh.
15 And the Lord discomfited
Sisera, and all his chariots, and
all his host, with the edge of the
sword before Barak ; so that Sisera
lighted down off his chariot, and
fled away on his feet.
16 But Barak pursued after the
chariots, and after the host, unto
Harosheth of the Gentiles: and
all the host of Sisera fell upon
the edge of the sword ; and there
was not a man left.
17 Howbeit Sisera fled away on
his feet to the tent of Jael the wife
of Heber the Kenite: for there
was peace between Jabin the
king of Hazor and the house of
Heber the Kenite.
18 And Jael went out to meet
Sisera, and said unto him, Tiirn
in, my lord, ttirn in to me; fear
not. And when he had turned in
unto her into the tent, she covered
him with a mantle.
19 And he said unto her. Give
me, I pray thee, a little water to
drink ; for I am thirsty. And she
opened, a bottle of milk, and gave
him drink, and covered him.
20 Again he said unto her. Stand
in the door of the tent, and it
shall be, when any man doth come
and inquire of thee, and say. Is
there any man here? that thou
Shalt say. No.
21 Then Jael Heber'swife took
a nail of the tent, and took a ham-
mer in her hand, and went softly
unto him, and smote the nail into
his temples, and fastened it into
the ground : for he was fast asleep
and weary. So he died.
22 And, behold, as Barak pur-
sued Sisera, Jael came out to meet
him, and said unto him, Come, and
I will shew thee the man whom
thou seekcst. And when he came
into her tent, behold, Sisera lay
dead, and the nail was in his
temples.
23 So God subdued on that day
Jabin the king of Canaan before
the children of Israel.
The song of Deborah and Barak.
Ju. 5—1 Then sang Deborah and
Barak the son of Abinoam on that
day, saying,
3 Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O
ye princes; 1, even!, will sing un-
to the Lord ; I will sing praise to
the Lord God of Israel.
7 The inhabitants of the villages
ceased^hey ceased in Israel, until
that I Deborah arose, that I aro^e
a mother in Israel.
12 Awake, awake, Deborah:
awake, awake, utter a song: arise,
Barak, and lead thy captivity cap-
tive, thou son of Abinoam.
19 The kings came and fought;
then fought the kings of Canaan
in Taanach by the waters of Me-
giddoj theytook nogainof money.
20 They fought from heaven;
the stars in their courses fought
against Sisera.
24 Blessed above women shall
Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite
be; blessed shall she be above
women in the tent.
25 He asked water, and she gave
him milk ; she brought forth but-
ter in a lordly di.sh.
26 She put her hand to the nail,
and her right hand to the work-
men's hammer: and with the
hammer she smote Sisera, she
smote off his head, when she, had
410
pierced and stricken through his
temples. , , , , ,,
27 At her feet he bowed, he fell,
he lay down : at her feet he bowed,
he fell: where he bowed, there he
fell down dead. , , ,
28 The mother of Sisera looked
out atawmdow, and cried through
the lattice, Why is his chariot so
long in coming? why tarry the
wheels of his chariots?
29 Her wise ladies answered
her, yea, she retui-ned answer to
herself, , „ ,
30 Have they not sped? have
they not divided the prey; to
every man a damsel or two; to
Sisera a prey of divers colours, a
prey of divers colours of needle-
work, of divers colours of nepile-
work on both sides, meet for the
necks of them that take the spoil?
31 So let all thine enemies perish,
O Lord: but let them that love
him be as the sun when he gpetli
forth in his might. And the land
had rest forty years.
Abimelech,the son of Jerubbaal,
or Gideon, slew seventy of his
own brothers, and was then made
king of Israel by his followers
<the first Jewish king). His bat-
tles and death, see also Gideon s
wonderful battle, Ju. 6, 7, 8, p.
493-195.
Ju. 9—1 And Abimelech the son
of Jerubbaal went to Shechein
imto his mother's bretlu-eu, and
oommimed with them, and with
all the family of the house of his
mother's father, saying,
2 Speak, I pray you, in the ears
of all the men of Shechem,
Whether is better for you, either
that all the sous of Jerubbaal,
which are threescore and ten per-
sons, reign over you, or that one
xeign over you? remember also
that I am your bone and your flesh.
3 And his mother's brethren
spake of him in the ears of all the
men of Shechem all these words:
and their hearts inclined to fol-
low Abimelech ; for they said. He
is our brother.
4 And they gave him tlireescore
and ten pieces of silver out of the
house of Baal-berith, wherewith
Abimelech hired vain and light
persons, which followed him.
5 And he went linto his father s
liouse at Ophrah, and slew his
brethren the sons of Jerubbaal,
being threescore and ten persons,
upon one stone : notwithstanding,
yet Jotham the youngest son of
Jerubbaal was left; for he hid
himself.
6 And all the men of Shechem
gathered together, and all the
house of Millo, and went and made
Abimelech king, by the plain of
the pillar that was m Shechem.
22 H When Abimelech had
reigned three years over Israel,
23 Then God sent an evil spirit
between Abimelech and the men
of Shechem; and the men of She-
chem dealt treacherously with
Abimelech.
34 And Abimelech rose up, and
all the people that were with
him, by night, and they laid wait
against Shechem in four com-
panies. , ,
39 And Gaal went out before the
men of Shechem, and fought with
Abimelech.
40 And Abimelech chased him,
and he fled before him, and many
were overthrown and wounded,
even unto the eutertngof the gate.
44 And Abimelech, and the com-
pany that was with him, rushed
forward, and stood in the entering
of the gate of the city: and the
two other companies ran upon all
the people that were in the fields,
and slew them.
45 And Abimelech fought
against the city all that day ; and
he took the city, and slew the
people that was therein, and beat
down the city, and sowed it with
salt.
47 And it was told Abimelech.
that all the men of the tower of
Shechem were gathered together.
48 And Abimelech gat him up
to mount Zalmon, he and all
the people that were with him;
and Abimelech took an axe in his
hand, and cut down a bough from
the trees, and took it, and laid it
on his shoulder, and said unto the
people that were with him. What
ye have seen me do, make haste,
and do as I have done.
49 And all the people likewise
cut down every man his bough,
and followed Abimelech, and put
them to the hold, and set the hold
on fire upon them; so that all the
men of the tower of Shechem
died also, about a thousand men
and women.
50 IF Then went Abimelech to
Thebez, and took it.
411
51 But there was a strong tower
within the city, and thither tied
all the men and women, and all
they of the city, and shut it to
them, and gat them up to the top
of the tower.
52 And Abimelech came unto
the tower, and fought against it,
and went hard unto the door of
the tower to burn it with tire.
53 And a certain woman cast a
piece of a millstone upon Abime-
lech's head, and all to brake his
skull.
54 Then he called hastily unto
the young man his armourbearer,
and said unto him. Draw thy
sword, and slay me, that men say
not of me, A woman slew him.
And his young man thnist him
through, and he died.
55 And when the men of Israel
saw that Abimelech wasdead,they
departed everymanunto his place.
Jephthah's vow accepted by the
Lord. He won his battle, and
paid his vow by burning his own
daughter on the altar, a human
sacrifice to the Lord.
Ju. 11—29 Then the Spirit of the
Lord came upon Jephthah, and
he passed over Gilead, unto the
children of Ammon.
30 And Jephthah vowed a vow
unto the Lord, and said. If tliuu
Shalt without fail deliver the chil-
dren of Ammon into mine hands,
31 Then it shall be, that whatso-
ever Cometh forth of the doors of
my house to meet me, when I re-
turn in peace from the children
of Ammon, shall surely be the
Lord's, and I will offer it up for a
burnt offering.
32 So Jephthah passed over un-
to the children of Amnion to tight
against them; and the Lord de-
livered them into his hands.
33 And he smote them from
Aroer, even till thou come to
Minnith, even twenty cities, and
unto the plain of the vineyards,
with a very great slaughter. Thus
the children of Ammon were sub-
dued before the children of Israel.
34 And Jephtliah came to Miz-
peh unto his house, and, behold,
his daughter came out to meet
him with timbrels and with
dances: and she was his only
child ; beside her he had neither
son nor daughter.
35 And it came to pass, when he
saw her, that he rent his clothes,
said, Alas, my daughter! thou
hast brought me very low, and
thou art one of them that trouble
me: for 1 have opened my mouth
mito the Lord, and I cannot go
back.
36 And she said unto him. My
father, if thou hast opened thy
mouth unto the Lord, do to me
according to that which hath pro-
ceeded out of thy mouth; foras-
much as the Lord hath taken
vengeance for thee of thine ene-
mies, even of the children of Am-
nion.
37 And she said unto her father.
Let this thing be done for me: let
me alone two months, that I may
go up and down upon the mount-
ains, and bewail my virginity. I
and my fellows.
38 And he said. Go. And he
sent her away for two months:
and she went with her com-
panions, and bewailed her virgini-
ty uix)n the mountains.
39 And it came to pass at the end
of two months, that she returned
unto her father, who did with her
according to his vow which he had
vowed: and she knew no man.
And it was a custom in Israel,
40 That the daughters of Israel
went yearly to lament the daugh-
ter of Jephthah the Gileadite four
days in a year.
SHIBBOLETH.
Jephthah's battle with his
brother Ephraimites, 42,000 slain.
Ju. 12—1 And the men of Eph-
raim gathered themselves to-
gether, and went northward, and
said unto Jephthah, Wherefore
passedst thou over to tight against
the children of Amnion, and
didst not call us to go with thee?
we will burn thine house upon
thee with fire.
2 And Jephthah said imto them,
I and my people were at great
strife with the children of Am-
nion ; and when I called you, ye
delivered me not out of their
hands. , ,.
3 And when I saw that ye deliv-
ered me not, I put my life in my
liand.s, and passed over against
the children of Ammon, and the
Lord delivered them into my
412
hand : wherefore then are ye come
up unto me this day, to light
against me?
4 Then Jephthah gathered to-
gether all the men of Gilead, and
tonght with Ephraim : and smote
Ephraim, because they said. Ye
Gileadites are fugitives of Eph-
raim amongthe Ephraimites, and
among the Manassites.
5 And the Gileadites took the
passages of Jordan before the
Ephraimites: and it was so, that
when those Ephraimites which
were escaped said, Let me go over,
that the men of Gilead said unto
him. Art thou an Ephraimite? If
he said. Nay;
6 Then said they unto him. Say
now Shibboleth: and he said Sib-
boleth: for he could not frame to
pronounce it right. Then they
took him, and slew him at the
passages of Jordan: and there fell
at that time of the Ephraimites
forty and two thousand.
7 And Jepthah judged Israel
six years. Then died Jephthah
the Gileadite, and was buried in
one of the cities of Gilead.
8 And after him Ibzan of Beth-
lehem judged Israel.
9 And he had thirty sons, and
thirty daughters, whom he .sent
abroad, and took in thirty daugli-
ters from abroad for his sons.
And he iudged Israel seven years.
13 And after him Abdou the
son of Hillel, judged Israel.
14 And he had forty sons and
thirty nephews, that rode on
threescore and ten ass colts: and
he judged Israel eight years.
Ju. 10—3 And Jair, a Gileadite,
judged Israel twenty and two
years.
4 And he had thirty sons that
rode on thkty ass colts, and they
had thirty cities.
Samson's great victory, 1,000
slatii. See also Shamgar's victory,
600 slain, Ju. 3. 31, p. 407. and Da-
vid's mighty men, 2 Sa. 23, p. 429.
Jn.l5— 14 And when became unto
Lehi, the Philistines shouted
against him : and the Spirit of the
Lord came mightily upon him,
15 And he found a new jawbone
of an ass, and put forth his hand,
and took it, and slew a thousand
men therewith. Ju. 15. 8 and 16.
30, p. 358, 359.
16 And Samson said. With the
jawbone of an ass, heaps upon
heaps.with the jaw of an ass have
I slain a thousand men.
17 And when he had made an
end of speaking, he cast away the
jawbone out of his hand.
18 And he was sore athirst, and
called on the Lord, and said.
Thou has given this great deliv-
erance into the hand of thy ser-
vant : andnowshall I die for thirst,
and fall into the hand of the un-
circumcised ?
19 But God clave a hollow place
that was in the jaw, and there
came water thereout; and when
he had drunk, his spirit came
again, and he revived.
20 And he judged Israel in the
days of the Philistines twenty
years.
The Levite's concubine. She is
ravished to death by her Jewish
brothers of the tribe of Benjamin,
then cut into twelve pieces by the
Levite, and a piece sent to each of
the twelve tribes. This caused a
war,inwhich65,000men were slain.
J«. 19—1 And in those days,when
there was no king in Israel, a cer-
tain Levite sojourning on the side
of mount Ephraim, took him a con-
cubine out of Beth-lehem-judah.
2 And his concubine played the
whore against him.and went away
from him imto her father's house
to Beth-lehem-judah, and was
there four whole months.
3 And her husband arose, and
went after her, to speak friendly
unto her, and to bring her again,
having his servant with him, and
a couple of asses: and she brought
him into her father's house ; and
when the father of the damsel saw
him, he rejoiced to meet him.
4 And his father in law, retained
him three days: so they did eat
and drink, and lodged there.
10 And he rose up and departed,
and came over against Jehus,
which is Jerusalem ; and there
were with him two asses saddled,
his concubine also was witli him.
11 And when they were by Jehus,
the day was far spent; and the
servant said untohismaster.Come,
I pravthee, and let us turn in into
this city of the Jebusites, and
lodge in it. •'•»»i uoc
413
12 And his master said unto
him, We will not turn aside hitlier
into the city of a stranger, that is
not of the children of Israel; we
will pass over to Gibeah.
16 And, behold, there came an
old man from his work out of the
field at even, which was also of
mount Ephraim ; and he sojourn-
ed in Gibeah ; but the men of the
place were Benjamites.
20 And the old man said, Peace
be with thee; howsoever, let all
thy wants lie upon me ; only lodge
not in the street.
21 So he brought him into his
house, and gave provender unto
the asses: and they washed their
feet, and did eat and drink.
22 Now as they were making
their hearts merry, behold, the
men of the city, certain sons of
Belial, beset the house round
about, and beat at the door, and
spake to the master of the house,
the old man, saymg. Bring forth
the man that came into thine
house, that we may know him.
The men that made this request
were Jews of the tribe of Benja-
min : they were Sodomites by na-
ture, and no better than the men
of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah,
and Zeboin, whom the Lord de-
stroyed by tire and brimstone
about eight hundred years before
this time. See Ge. 19. 5, p. 40.
23 And the man, the master of
the house, went out unto them,
and said unto them. Nay, my
brethren, nay, I pray you, do not
so wickedly; seeing that this man
is come into mine house, do not
this folly.
24 Behold, here is my daughter a
maiden, and his concubine ; them
I will bring out now, and humble
ye them, and do with them what
seemeth good unto you : but unto
this man do not so vile a thing.
25 But the men would not lieark-
en to him: so the man took his
concubine, and brought her forth
unto them; and they knew her,
and abused her all the night until
the morning: and when the day
began to spring, they let her go.
26 Then came the woman in the
dawning of the day, and fell down
at the door of the man's house
where her lord was, till it was
light.
27 And her lord rose up in the
morning, and opened the doors of
the house, and went out to go his
way: and, behold, the woman his
concubine was fallen down at the
door of the house, and her hands
were upon the threshold.
28 And he said unto her. Up, and
let us be going. But none an-
swered. Then the man took her
up upon an ass, and the man rose
up, and gat him unto his place.
29 *! And when he was come into
his house, he took a knife, and
laid hold on his concubine, and
divided her, together with her
bones, into twelve pieces, and sent
her into all the coasts of Israel.
30 And it was so, that all that
saw it said. There was no such
deed done nor seen from the day
that the children of Israel came
up out of the land of Egypt unto
this day: consider of it, take ad-
vice, and speak your minds.
Ju. 20—1 Then all the children
of Israel went out, and the con-
gregation was gathered together
as one man, from Dan even to
Beersheba, with the land of Gile-
ad, unto the Lord in Mizpeh.
2 And the chief of all the people,
even of all the tribes of Israel,
presented themselves in the as-
sembly of the people of God, four
hundred thousand footmen that
drew sword.
12 And the tribes of Israel sent
men through all the tribe of Ben-
jamin, saying. What wickedness
IS this that is done among you?
13 Now therefore deliver us the
men, the children of Belial, which
are in Gibeah, that we may put
them to death, and put away evil
from Israel. But the children of
Benjamin would not hearken to
the voice of their brethren the
children of Israel:
14 But the children of Benjamin
gathered themselves together out
of the cities unto Gibeah, to go
out to battle against the children
of Israel.
15 And the children of Benjamin
were numbered at that time out
of the cities twenty and six thou-
sand men that drew sword, be-
sides the inhabitants of Gibeah,
which were numbered seven hun-
dred chosen men.
16 Among all this people there
were seven hundred chosen men
lefthanded ; every one could sling
414
Stones at a hair breadth, and not
miss.
17 And the men of Israel, besides
Benjamin, were numbered four
hundred thousand men that drew
sword : all tliese were men of war.
18 And the children of Israel
arose, and went up to the house
of God, and asked counsel of God,
and said. Which of us shall go up
first to the battle against the chil-
dren of Benjamin? And the Lord
said, Judah shall go up first.
20 And the men of Israel went
out to battle against Benjamin;
and the men of Israel put them-
selves in array to fight against
them at Gibeah.
21 And the children of Benjamin
came forth out of Gibeah, and
destroyed down to the ground of
the Israelites that day twenty and
two thousand men.
"3 (And the children of Israel
went up and wept before the Lord
until even, and asked counsel of
the Lord, saying. Shall I go up
again to battle against the chil-
dren of Benjamin my brother?
And the Lord said. Go up against
him.)
24 And the children of Israel
came near against the children of
Benjamin the second day.
25 And Benjamin went forth
against them out of Gibeah the
second day, and destroyed down
to the ground of the children of
Israel again eighteen thousand
men ; all these drew the sword,
27 And the children of Israel in-
quired of the Lord, (for the ark
of the covenant of God was there
in those days,
28 And Phinehas, the son of
Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood
before it in those days,) saying.
Shall I yet again go out to battle
against the children of Benjamin
my brother, or shall I cease? And
the Lord said. Go up; for to mor-
row I will deliver them into thine
hand.
30 And the children of Israel
went up against the children of
Benjamin on the third day, and
piit themselves in array against
Gibeah, as at other times.
31 And the children of Benjamin
went out against the peoplCj and
were drawn away from the city.
38 Now there was an appointed
sign between the men of Israel
and the liers in wait, that they
should make a great flame with
smoke rise up out of the city.
39 And when the men of Israel
retired in the battle, Benjamin
began to smite and kill of the
men of Israel about thirty per-
sons: for they said. Surely they
are smitten down before us, as in
the first battle.
40 But when the flame began to
arise up out of the city with a
pillar of smoke, the Beniamites
looked behind them, and, behold,
the flame of the city ascended up
to heaven.
42 Therefore they turned their
backs before the men of Israel un-
to the way of the wilderness ; but
the battle overtook them; and
them which came out of the cities
they destroyed in the midst of
them.
43 Thus they inclosed the Ben-
jamites roimd about, and chased
them, and trode them down with
ease over against Gibeah toward
the sunrisiug.
44 And there fell of Benjamin
eighteen thousand men.
45 And they turned and fled
toward the wilderness unto the
rock of Rimmon: and they glean-
ed of them in the highways five
thousand men ; and pursued hard
after them unto Gidom, and slew
two thousand men of them.
46 So that all which fell that
day of Benjamin were twenty and
five thousand men that drew the
sword; all these were men of
valour.
47 But six hundred men turned
and fled to the wilderness unto
the rock Rimmon, and abode in
tbe rock Rimmon four months.
48 And the men of Israel turned
again upon the children of Benja-
min, and smote them with the
edge of the sword, as well the men
of every city, as the beast, and all
that cameto hand : also they set on
fire all the cities thattheycameto.
A cruel and inhuman way to
provide wives for the defeated
Benjamites.
Ju. 21—1 Now the men of Israel
had sworn, saying. There shall
not any of us give his daughter
unto Benjamin to wife.
2 And the people came to the
house of God, and abode there till
even before God, and lifted up
their voices, and wept sore ;
415
3 And said, O Lord God of Is-
rael, why is tliis come to pass in
Israel, that there should be to day
one tribe lacking in Israel?
6 And the children of Israel re-
pented them for Benjamin their
brother, and said. There is one
tribe cut off from Israel this day.
7 How shall we do for wives for
them that remain, seeing we have
swoni by the Lord, that we will
not give them of our daughters to
wives?
8 And they said. What one is
there of the tribes of Israel that
came not up to Mizpeh to the
Lord? And, behold, there came
none to the camp from Jabesh-
gilead to the assembly.
10 And the congregation sent
thither twelve thousand men of
the valiantest, and commanded
them, saying. Go and smite the
inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead with
the edge of the sword, with the
women and the children.
11 And this is the thing that ye
shall do. Ye shall utterly destroy
every male, and every woman
that hath lain by man.
12 And they found among the
inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead four
liundred young virgins, that had
known no man by lying with any
male: and they brought them un-
to the camp to Shiloh, which is in
the land of Canaan.
13 And the whole congregation
sent some to speak to the children
of Benjamin that were in the rock
Rimmon, and to call peaceably
unto them.
14 And Benjamin came again at
that time; and they gave them
wives which they h;id saved alive
of the women of Jabesh-gilead:
and yet so they sufficed them not.
19 Then they said. Behold, there
is a feast of the Lord in Shiloh
yearly, in a place which is on the
north side of Beth-el, on the east
side of the highway that goeth up
from Beth-el to Shechem, and on
the south of Lebonah.
20 Therefore they commanded
the children of Benjamin, saying.
Go and lie in wait in the vine-
yards ;
21 And, if the daughters of
Shiloh come out to dance in
dances, then come ye out of the
vineyards, and catch you every
man his wife of the daughters
of Shiloh, and go to the land
of Benjamin.
23 And the children of Benjamin
did so, and took them wives, ac-
cording to their number, of them
that danced, whom they caught:
and they went and returned unto
their inheritance, and repaired
the cities, and dwelt in them.
25 In those days there was no
king in Israel : every man did that
which was right in his own eyes.
The lirst battle of Ebenezer,
M,()00 slain. The ark of the cove-
nant taken and returned by the
Philistines. After its return the
Jewish people looked into it, and
for so doing the Lord slew 50,000
of them (ark of the covenant,
Ex. 25. 10-16, p. 49). Death of Eli
the priest.
1 Sa. 4—1 And the word of
Samuel came to all Israel. Now
Israel went out against the Philis-
tines to battle, and pitched beside
Eben-ezer: and the Philistines
pitched in Aphek.
2 And the Philistines put them-
selves in array against Israel: and
when they joined battle, Israel
was sm itten before the Philistines :
and they slew of the army in the
field about four thousand men.
3 And when the people were
come into the camp, the elders of
Israel said, Wherefore hath the
Lord smitten us to day before the
Philistines? Let us fetch the ark
of the covenant of the Lord out
of Shiloh unto us, that, when it
cometh among us, it may save us
out of the hand of our enemies.
5 And when the ark of the cove-
nant of the Lord came into the
camp, all Israel shouted with a
great shout, so thatthe earth rang.
10 And the Philistines fought,
and Israel was smitten, and they
fled every man into his tent: and
there was a very great slaughter;
for there fell of Israel thirty thou-
sand footmen.
11 And the ark of God was tak-
en ; and the two sons of Eli, Hoph-
ni and Phinehas, were slain.
15 Now Eli was ninety and eight
years old ; and his eyes were dim,
that he could not see.
16 And the man said unto Eli, I
am he that came out of the army.
17 And he, Israel, is fled before
the Philistines, and there hath
been a great slaughter, and thy
two sons, Hophni and Phinehas,
are dead, and the ark of God is
taken.
416
18 And it came to pass, when he
nrade mention of the ark of God,
that he fell from off the seat back-
ward by the side of the gate, and
hisueck brake, and he died: for he
was an old man, and heavy. And
he had judged Israel forty years.
I Sa. 6—1 And the ark of the
Lord was in the country of the
Philistines seven mouths.
19 And he smote the men of
Beth-shemesh, because they had
looked into the ark of the Lord,
even he smote of the people fifty
thousand and threescore and ten
men.
21 And^;hey sent messengers to
Kirjath-jearim, saying. The Phi-
listines have brought again the
ark of the Lord ; come ye down,
and fetch it up to you.
The second battle of Ebenezer.
The thunder battle.
l' Sa. 7—9 And Samuel took a
sucking lamb, and offered it for
a burnt offermg wholly unto the
Lord : and Samuel cried unto the
Lord for Israel; and the Lord
heard him.
10 And as Samuel was offering
\ip the bumt,offering, the Philis-
tines drew near to battle against
Israel: but the Lord thundered
with a great thunder on that day
upon the Philistines, and discom-
fited them ; and they were smitten
before Israel.
II And the men of Israel pursued
the Philistines, and smote them,
until they came under Beth-car.
12 Then Samuel took a stone,
and set it between Mizpeh and
Shen, and called the name of it
Eben-ezer, saying. Hitherto hath
the Lord helped us.
SAUL'S FIRST BATTLE.
1 Sa. 11—1 Then Nahash the Am-
monite came up, and encamped
against Jabesh-gilead: and all
the men of Jabesh said mito Na-
hash, Make a covenant with us,
and we will serve thee.
2 And Nahash the Ammonite an-
swered them. On this condition
will I make a covenant with you,
that I may thrust out all your
right eyes, and lay it for a re-
proach upon all Israel.
4 Then came the messengers to
Gibeah of Saul, and told the ti-
dings in the ears of the people:
and all the people lifted up their
voices, and wept.
5 And, behold, Saul came after
the herd out of the field ; and Saul
said. What aileth the people that
they weep? And they told him
the tidings of the men of Jabesh.
6 And the Spirit of God came
upon Saul when he heard those
tidings, and his auger was kindled
greatly.
7 And he took a yoke of oxen,
and hewed them in pieces, and
sent them throughout all the
coasts of Israel by the hands of
messengers, saying. Whosoever
cometh not forth after Saul and
after Samuel, so shall it be done
unto his oxen. And the fear of the
Lord fell on the people, and they
came out with oue consent.
8 And when he numbered them
in Bezek, the children of Israel
were three hundred thousand, and
the men of Judah thirty thousand.
11 And it was so on the morrow,
that Saul put the people in three
companies; and they came into
the midst of the host in the morn-
ing watch, and slew the Ammon-
ites until the heat of the day: and
it came to pass, that they which
remained were scattered, so that
two of them werenot left together.
Saul's second battle, and there
he made his fatal mistake; and
for so doing the Lord rejected
him, and cliose David, a man
after his own heart, to be king
over all Israel in his place.
1 Sa. 13—1 Saul reigned one year ;
and when he had reigned two
years over Israel,
2 Saul chose him three thousand
men of Israel; whereof two thou-
sand were with Saul in Michmash
and in mount Beth-el, and a thou-
sand were with Jonathan in Gib-
eah of Benjamin : and the rest of
the people he sent every man to
his tent.
5 And the Philistines gathered
themselves together to fight with
Israel, thirty thousand chariots,
and SIX thousand horsemen, and
people as the sand which is on the
sea shore in multitude: and they
came up, and pitched in Mich-
mash.
6 When the men of Israel saw
that they were in a strait, (for the
people were distressed,) then the
people did hide themselves in
caves, and in thickets, and in
417
rocks, and in high places, and in
pits.
7 And some of the Hebrews went
over Jordan to the laud of Gad
and Gilead. As for Saul, he was
yet in Gilgal, and all the people
followed him trembling.
8 And he tarried seven days,
according to the set time that
Samuel had appouited: but Sam-
uel came not to Gilgal; and
tlie people were scattered from
him.
9 And Saul said. Bring hither a
burnt offering to me, and peace
offermgs. And he oiTered the
burnt offering.
10 And it came to pass, that as
soon as he had made an end of
offering the biu-nt offering, be-
hold, Samuel came; and Saul
went out to meet him, that he
might salute him.
11 And Samuel said. What hast
thou done? And Saul said. Be-
cause I saw that the people were
scattered from me, and that thou
camest not within the days ap-
pouited, and that the Philistines
gathered themselves together at
Michmash:
12 Therefore said I, The Philis-
tines will come down now upon
me to Gilgal, and I have not made
supplication unto the Lord: I
forced myself therefore, and of-
fered a burnt offermg.
13 And Samuel said to Saul,
Thou hast done foolishly: thou
hast not kept the commandment
of the Lord thy God, which he
commanded thee: for now would
the Lord have established thy
kingdom upon Israel for ever.
14 But now thy kingdom shall
not contmue: the Lord hath
sought him a man after his own
lieart, and the Lord hath com-
manded him to be captain over
his people, because thou hast not
kept that which the Lord com-
manded thee.
15 And Samuel arose, and gat
him up from Gilgal unto Gibeah
of Benjamin. And Saul numbered
the people that were present with
him, about six hundred men.
16 And Saul, and Jonathan his
son, and the people that were pres-
ent with them, abode in GiBeah
of Benjamin; hut the Philistines
encamped in Michmash. p. 276.
Jonathan's wonderful and mi-
raculous victory.
1 Sa. 14—6 And Jonathan said to
the young man that bare his
armour. Come, and let us go over
unto the garrison of these iiucu*-
cumcised: it may be that the
Lord will work for us: for there
is no restraint to the Lord to save
by many or by few.
7 And his armourbearer said un-
to him, Do all that is in thy heart :
turn thee ; behold, I am with thee
according to thy heart.
13 And Jonathan climbed up
upon his hands and upon his feet,
and his armourbearer after him :
and they fell before Jonathan;
and his armourbearer slew after
him.
14 And that first slaughter,
which Jonathan and his armour-
bearer made, was about twenty
men, within as it were a half acre
of land, which a yoke of oxen
might plough.
15 And there was trembling in
the host, in the field, and among
all the people : the garrison, and
the spoilers, they also trembled,
and the earth quaked: so it was
a very great trembling.
16 And the watchmen of Saul in
Gibeah of Benjamin looked ; and,
behold, the multitude melted
away, and they went on beating
down one another.
20 And Saul and all the people
that were with him assembled
themselves, and they came to the
battle: and, behold, every man's
sword was against his fellow, and
there was a very great discomfi-
ture.
23 So the Lord saved Israel that
day: and the battle passed over
unto Beth-aven.
24 And the men of Israel were
distressed that day : for Saul had
adjured the people, saying, Cursed
be the man that eateth any food
until evening, that I may be
avenged on mine enemies. So
noneof the people tasted any food.
25 And all they of the land
came to a wood; and there was
honey upon the ground.
26 And, behold, the honey
dropped ; but no man put his hand
tohis mouth: forthe people feared
the oath.
27 But Jonathan heard not wh en
liis father charged the people with
the oath: wherefore he put forth
the end of the rod that was in his
hand, and dipped, it in a honey-
comb, and put his hand to his
418
mouth ; and his eyes, were enlight-
ened.
28 Then answered one of the
people, and said, Thy fatherstrait-
ly charged the people with an
oath, saying. Cursed be the man
that eateth any food this day.
29 Then said Jonathan, My
father hath troubled the land:
see, I pray you, how mine eyes
have been enlightened, because
1 tasted a little of this honey.
30 How much more, if haply the
people had eaten freely to day of
the spoil of their enemies which
they found? for had there not
been now a much greater slaugh-
ter among the Philistines?
31 And they smote the Philis-
tines that day from Michmash to
Aijalon.
36 And Saul said. Let us go down
after the Philistines by night, and
spoil them until the nioming
light, and let us not leave a man
ofthem. And they said. Do what-
soever seemeth good unto thee.
Then said the priest, Let us draw
near hither unto God.
37 And Saul asked counsel of
God, Shall I go down after the
Philistines? wilt thou deliver
them into the hand of Israel?
But he answered him not that
day.
38 And Saul said, Draw ye near
hither, all the chief of the people :
and know and see wherein this
sin hath been this day.
39 For as the Lord liveth, which
saveth Israel, though it be in Jon-
athan my son, he shall surely die.
But there was not a man among
all the people that answered him.
40 Then said he unto all Israel,
Be ye on one side, and I and Jon-
athan will be on the other side.
And the people said unto Saul, Do
what seemeth good unto thee.
41 Therefore Saul said unto the
Lord God of Israel, Give a perfect
lot. And Saul and Jonathan were
taken: but the people escaped.
42 And Saul said. Cast lots be-
tween me and Jonathan my son.
And Jonathan was taken.
43 Then Saul said to Jonathan,
Tell me what thou hast done.
And Jonathan told him, and said,
1 did but taste a little honey with
the end of the rod that was in
mine hand, and, lo, I must die.
44 And Saul answered, God do
so and more also: for thou shall
surely die, Jonathan.
45 And the people 'said unto
Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who
hath wrought this great salvatioii
in Israel? God forbid: as the
Lord liveth, there shall not one
hair of his head fall to the ground .
So the people rescued Jonathan,
that he died not.
46 Then Savil went up from fol-
lowing the Philistines: and the
Philistines went to their own
place.
47 So Saul took the kingdom
over Israel, and fought against
all his enemies on every side.
48 And he gathered a host, and
smote the Amalekites, and deliv-
ered Israel out of the hands of
them that spoiled them. See also
1 Chr. 5. 18-22.
The Lord's command to Saul,
"Smite Amalek, slay both man
and woman, infant and suckling,
ox and sheep, camel and ass."
1 Sa. 15—1 Samuel also said unto
Saul, The Lord sent me to anoint
thee to be king over his people,
over Israel : now thereforehearken
thou unto the voice of the words
of the Lord.
2 Thus saith the Lord of hosts,
I remember that which Amalek
did to Israel, how he laid wait for
him in the way, when he came up
fi-om Egypt.
3 Now go and smite Amalek,
and utterly destroy all that they
have, and spare them not; but
slay both man and woman, infant
and suckling.ox and sheep, camel
and ass.
4 And Saul gathered the people
together, and numbered them in
Telaim, two hundred thousand
footmen, and ten thousand men
of Jixdah.
7 And Saul smote the Amale-
kites from Havilah luitil thou
comest toShur, that isoveragainst
Egypt.
8 And he took Agag the kmg of
the Amalekites alive, and vitterly
destroyed all the people with the
edge of the sword.
9 But Saul and the people spared
Agag, and the best of the sheep,
and of the oxen, and of the fat-
lings, and the lambs, and all that
was good, and would not utterly
destroy them: but every thing
that was vile and refuse, that they
destroved utterly.
10 t Then came the word of the
Lord unto Samuel, saying,
419
11 It repenteth nie that I have
set up Saul to be khie: for he is
turned back from following me,
and hath not performed mv com-
mandments. And it grieved Sam-
iiel ; and he cried unto the Lord
all night.
13 And Samuel came to Saul:
and Saul said unto him, Blessed
be thou of the Lord : I have per-
formed the commandment of the
Lord.
14 And Samuel said, What mean-
eth then this bleating of the sheep
in mine ears, and the lowing of
the oxen which I hear?
19 Wherefore then didst thou
not obey the voice of the Lord,
but didst fly upon the spoil, and
didst evil in the sight of the Lord?
20 And Saul said unto Samuel,
Yea, I have obeyed the voice of
the Lord, and have gone the way
which the Lord sent me, and
have brought Agag the king of
Auiaiek, and have utterly de-
stroyed the Amalekites.
21 But the people took of the
spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of
thethingswhich should have been
vitterly destroyed, to sacrifice unto
the Lord thy God in Gilgal.
22 And Samuel said, Hath the
Lord as great delight in burnt
offerings and sacrifices, as in obey-
ing the voice of the Lord?
24 And Saul said unto Samuel,
I have sinned : for I have trans-
gressed the commandment of the
Lord, and thy words: because I
feared the people, and obeyed
their voice.
25 Now -therefore, I pray thee,
pardon my sin, and tiirn again
with me, that 1 may worship the
Lord.
26 And Samuel said unto Saul, I
will not return with thee: for
thou hast rejected the word of the
Lord, and the Lord hath reject-
ed thee from being king over Is-
rael.
27 And as Samuel turned about
to go away, he laid hold upon the
skirt of his mantle, aud it rent.
28 And Samuel said unto him.
The Lord hath rent the kingdom
of Israel from thee this day, and
hath given it to a neighbour of
thine, that is better than thou.
29 And also the Strength of Is-
rael will not lie nor repent: for
he is not a man, that he should
repent.
30 Then he said, I have sinned:
yet honoiu' nie now, I pray thee,
before the elders of my people,
and before Israel, and turn again
with me, that I may worship the
Lord thy (xod.
^ 31 So Samuel turned again after
Saul ; and Saul worshipped the
Lord.
32 IT Then said Samuelj Bring ye
hither to me Agag the king of the
Amalekites. And Agag came un-
to him delicately. And Agag said.
Surely the bitterness of death is
past.
33 And Samuel said. As thy
sword hath made women child-
less, so shall thy mother be child-
less among women. And Samuel
hewed Agag in pieces before the
Lord in Gilgal.
34 Then Samuel went to Ka-
mah; and Saul went up to his
house to Gibeah of Saul.
35 And Samuel came no more to
see Saul until the day of his death :
nevertheless Samuel mourned for
Saul : and the Lord repented that
he had made Saul king over Israel.
DAVID SLAYETH GOLIATH.
It may not be generally known,
but David had been anointed
king of Israel some time before
he slew Goliath, yet Saul did not
know it. See 1 Sa. 16. 1-13, p. 43,
aud chronology of the old Bible,
p. 537.
1 Sa. 17—1 Now the Philistines
gathered together their armies to
battle, at Shochoh, and pitched
between Shochoh and Azekah.
2 And Saul and the men of Israel
were gathered together, and pitch-
ed by the valley of Elah, and set
the battle in array against the
Philistines.
3 And the Philistines stood on a
moimtain on the on6 side, and Is-
rael stood on a mountain on the
other side: and there was a valley
between them.
4 And there went out a cham-
pion out of the camp of the Phi-
listines, named Goliath, of Gath,
whose height, was six cubits and
a span.
5 And he had a helmet of brass
upon his head, and he was armed
with a coat of mail ; and the
weight of the coat was five thou-
sand shekels of brass.
420
6 And he had greaves of brass
upon his legs, and a target of
brass between his shoulders.
7 And the staff of his spear was
like a weaver's beam; and his
spear's head weighed six hundred
shekels of iron: and one bearing
a shield went before him.
8 And he stood and cried unto
the armies of Israel, and said imto
them, Why are ye come out to set
your battle in array? am not I a
Philistine, and ye servants to
Saul? choose you a man for you,
and let him come down to me.
9 If he be able to tight with me,
and to kill me, then will we be
your servants: but if I prevail
against him, and kill him, then
shall ye be our servants, and serve
US
10 And the Philistine said, I defy
the armies of Israel this day : give
me a man, that we may fight to-
gether.
11 When Saul and alllsrael heard
those words of thePhilistine, they
weredismayed.and greatly afraid.
16 And the Philistine drew near
morning and evening, and pre-
sented himself forty days.
19 Now Saul, and they, and all
the men of Israel, were in the
valley of Elah, fighting with the
Philistines.
32 And David said to Saul,
Let no man's heart fail because
of him ; thy servant will go and
tight with this Philistine.
40 And he took his staff in his
hand, and chose him five smooth
stones out of the brook, and yut
them in a shepherd's bag winch
he had, even in a scrip; and his
sling was in his hand; and he
drew near to the Philistine.
41 And the Philistine came on
and drew near unto David; and
the man that bear the shield went
before him.
42 And when the Philistme look-
ed about, and saw David, he dis-
dained him: for he was but a
youth, and ruddy, and of a fair
countenance.
43 And the Philistine said unto
David, Am I a dog, that thou
comest to me with staves? And
tlie Philistine cursed David by
his gods.
44 And the Philistine said to
David, Come to me, and I will
give thy flesh luito me the fowls
of the air, and to the beasts of the
field.
45 Then said David to the Phi-
listine, Thou comest to me with a
sword, and with a spear, and with
a shield: but I come to thee in
the name of the Lord of hosts.
the God of the ai-mies of Israel,
whom thou has defied.
46 This day will the Lord deliv-
er thee into mine hand ; and I will
smite thee, and take thine head
from thee; and I will give the
carcasses of the host of the Philis-
tines this day unto the fowls of
the air, and to the wild beasts of
the earth ; that all the earth may
know that there is a God in Israel.
47 And all this assembly shall
know that the Lord saveth not
with sword and spear: for the
battle is the Lord's, and he will
give you into oiu- hands.
48 And it came to pass, when the
Philistine arose, and came and
drew nigh to meet David, that
David hasted, and ran toward the
army to meet the Philistine.
49 And David put his hand in his
bag, and took thence a stone, and
slang it, and smote the Philistine
in his forehead, that the stone
sunk into his forehead; and he
fell upon his face to the earth.
50 So David prevailed over the
Philistine with a sling and with a
stone, and smote the Philistine,
and slew him; hut there was no
sword in the hand of David.
51 Therefore David ran, and
.stood upon the Philistine, and
took his sword, and drew it out of
the sheath thereof, and slew him,
and cut off his head therewith.
And when the Philistines saw
theirchampionwasdead,theyfled.
52 And the men of Israel and of
Judah arose, and shouted, and
pursued the Philistines, to the
gates of Ekron. And the wound-
ed of the Philistines fell down by
the way to Shaaraim, even unto
Gath, and unto Ekron.
53 And the children of Israel re-
turned from chasing after the Phi-
listines, and they spoiled their
tents. , ,
54 And David took the head of
the Philistine, and brought it to
Jerusalem ; but he put his armom-
in his tent. ^
55 And when Saul saw David
go forth against the Philistine, he
said unto Abner, the captain of
the host, Abner, whose son is this
vouth? And Abner said. As thy
i soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell.
421
56 And the king said, Inquire
thou whose son the stripling is.
57 And as David returuea from
the slaughter of the Philistine,
Abner took him, and brought him
before Saul with the head of the
Philistine in his hand.
58 And Saul said to him, Whose
son art thou, thou young man?
And David answered, I am the
son of thy servant Jesse the Beth-
lehemite.
From reading the above three
verses one would suppose that
Saul did not know David, yet
sometime before this he had ap-
pointed him his armourbearer.
See 1 Sa. 16. 14-23, p. 254.
Jonathan's love for David: Da-
vid an officer in Saul's army. The
women of Israel sing his praise.
David and his men slew two hun-
dred Philistines, and their fore-
skins he presented to Saul at
Saul's request, and in return Saul
gave him his daughter Michal,
and she became his wife.
1 Sa. 18—1 And it came to pass,
when he had made an end of
speaking unto Saul, that the soul
of Jonathan was knit with the
soul of David, and Jonathan loved
him as his own soul.
2 And Saul took him that day,
and would let him go no more
home to his father's house.
3 Then Jonathan and David
made a covenant, because he
loved him as his own soul.
4 And Jonathan stripped him-
self of the robethat was upon him,
and gave it to David, and his gar-
ments, even to his sword, and to
his bow, and to his girdle.
5 And David went out whither-
soever Saul sent him,andbehaved
himself wisely: and Saul set him
over the men of war, and he was
accepted in the sight of all the
people, and also in the sight of
Saul's servants.
6 And it came to pass as they
came, when David was returned
from the slaughter of the Philis-
tine, that the women came out
of all cities of Israel, singing and
dancing, to meet king Saul, with
tabrets, with joy, and with instru-
ments of music.
7 And the women answered one
another as they played, and said.
Saul hath slain his thousands,
and David his ten thousands.
8 And Saul was very wroth, and
the saying displeased him; and
he said. They have ascribed unto
David ten thousands, and to me
they have ascribed butthousands:
and what can he have more but
the kingdom?
22 And Saul commanded his
servants, saying. Commune with
David secretly, and say, Behold,
the king hath delight in thee, and
all his servants love thee: now
therefore be the king's son in
law.
23 And Saul's servants spake
those words in the ear of David.
And David said, Seemeth it to you
a light thing to be a king's son in
law, seeing that I am a poor man,
and lightly esteemed?
24 And the servants of Saul told
him.
25 And Saul said. Thus shall ye
say to David, The king desireth
not any dowry, but a hundred
foreskins of the Philistines, to be
avenged of the king's enemies.
But Saul thought to make David
fall by the hand of the Philistines.
26 And when his servants told
David these words, it pleased Da-
vid well to be the king's son in
law.
27 Wherefore David went, he
and his men, and slew of the Phi-
listines two hundred men; and
David broughttheir foreskins,and
gave them m full tale to the king,
that he might be the king's son in
law. And Saul gave him Michal
his daughter to wife.
The last battle fought by the
vinfortunate king Saul. Death of
Saul and his son Jonathan. See
also Saul and the witch at Endor,
1 Sa. 28, p. 321, 322. Saul was chosen
by the Lord to be the first king of
the Jewish people (l Sa. 9 and 10,
p. 330), and rejected by the Lord for
doing what he honestly thought
was right; and David, "the man
after God's own heart," whose
life's record was a thousand times
blacker than Saul's, was chosen by
the Lord to be king over all Israel
in his place. This was seven years
before the death of Saul, 1 Sa. 13.
8-14, p. 417 ; 1 Sa. 16. 1-13, p. 43. See
also chronology of the Old Bible,
p. 537.
422
1 Sa. 31—1 Now the PMlistmes
lought against Israel: and the
men of Israel fled from before the
Philistines, and fell down slain m
mount Gilboa.
2 And the Philistines followed
hard upon Saul and upon his sons;
and the Philistines slew Jonathan,
and Abinadab, and Melchi-shua,
Saul's sous.
3 And the battle went sore
against Saul, and the archers hit
him ; and he was sore wounded.
i Then said Saul unto his arm-
ourbearer, Draw thy sword, and
thrust me tlu-ough therewith ; lest
these uncircumcised come and
thrust me through, anxl abuse me.
But his armourbearer would not;
for he was sore afraid. Therefore
Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
5 And when his armourbearer
saw that Saul was dead, he fell
likewise upon his sword, and died
with him.
6 So Saul died, and his three
sons, and his armourbearer, and
all his men, that same day.
(Ac. 13—21 And God gave unto
them Saul the son of Cis, a man
of the tribe of Benjamin, by the
space of forty years.)
7 And when the men of Israel
on the other side of the valley,
and they that were on the other
side Jordan, saw that the men of
Israel Ited, and that Saul and his
sons were dead, they forsook the
cities, and tied- and the Philis-
tines came and dwelt in them.
8 And on the morrow, when the
Philistines came to strip the slain,
they found Saul and his three
sons.
9 And they cut off his head, and
stripped oft' his armour, and sent
into the land of the Philistines, to
publish it in the house of their
idols, and among the people.
10 And they put his armour in
the hou.se of Ashtaroth : and they
fastened his body to the wall of
Beth-shan.
11 And when the inhabitants of
Jabesh-^ilead heard of that which
the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 All the valiant men arose,
and went all night, and took the
body of Saul and his sons from the
wall of Beth-shan, and came to
Jabesh, and bimit them there,
13 And they took their bones.
and buried them under a tree at
Jabfish, and fasted seven days.
1 Chr. 10—13 So Saul died for his
transgression, and also for asking
counsel of one that had a familiar
spirit, to inquire of it;
14 And inquired not of the
Lord : therefore he slew him, and
turned the kingdom unto David.
Saul did inquire of the Lord,
but he answered him not, see 1 Sa.
28. 6, p. 321.
David's lament for Saul and
Jonathan. " How are the mighty
fallen!" • '
2 Sa, 1—17 And David lamented
with this lamentation over Saul
and over Jonathan his, son:
18 (Also he bade them teach the
children of Judah the use of the
bow: behold, it is written in the
book of Jasber:)
19 The beauty of Israel is slain
upon thy high places: how are
the mighty fallen!
20 Tell it not in Gath. publish it
not ill the streets of Askeloii; lest
the daughters of the Philistines
rejoice, lest the daughters of the
uncircumcised triumph.
21 Ye mountains of Gilboa, let
there be no dew, neither let there
be rain, upon you, nor fields of
offerings: for there the shield of
the mighty is vilely cast away,
the shield of Saul, as thougli he
had not been anointed with oil.
22 From the blood of the slain,
from the fat of the mighty, the
bow of Jonathan turned not pack,
and the sword of Saul returned
not empty.
23 Saul and Jonathan were
lovely and pleasant in their lives,
and in their-death they were not
divided: they were swifter than
eagles, they were stronger than
lions.
24 Ye daughters of Israel, weep
over Saul, who clothed you in
scarlet, with other delights; who
put on ornaments of gold upon
your apparel.
25 How are the mighty fallen in
the midst of the battle! O Jona-
than, thou wast slain in thine
high places.
26 I am distressed for thee, my
brother Jonathan: very pleasant
hast thou been unto me: tby love
to me was wonderful, passing the
love of women.
27 How are the mighty fallen,
and the weapons of war perished!

The skirmish of the twelve
brings on a battle, aud .380 men
are slain. ,; p.:'.V :;,:;' ■,!.,
2 Sa. 2—12 And Abner thfe son of
Ner, and the servants of Ish-bo-
sheth the son of Saul, went out
from Mahauaim to Gibeon. _
13 And Joab the son of Zeruiah,
aud the servants of David, went
out, and met together by the pool
of Gibeon : and they sat down, the
one on the one side of the pool,
aud the other oii the other side.
14 And Abner said to Joab, Let
the young men now arise, and
iilav before us. And Jpab said.
Let them arise. ' ., '
15 Then there aroSe and went
over twelve of Benjamin, which
pertained to Ish-bosheth, aud
twelve of the servants of Davul.
16 And they caught every one
his fellow by the head, and thrust
his sword in his fellow's side; so
they fell down together. ';■ • •.•
17 And there was a very sore
battle ; and Abner was beaten.

of Zeruiah there, Joab, Abishai,
aud Asahel: and Asahel was as
light of foot as a wild roe. And
Asahel pursued after Abner.
23 Wherefore Abner with the
hinder end of the spear smote
him under the fifth rib, that the
spear came out behind him; and
he fell down there, and died.
30 And there lacked of David's
servantsnineteenmen and Asahel .
31 But the servants of David had
smitten of Benjamin, and of Ab-
ner'smen, so that three hundred
and threescore men died.

23 And when David inquired of
the LoKD, he said, Thou shalt not
go up ; but fetch a compass behind
them, and coma upon them over
against the mulberry trees.
24 And let it be, when thou hear-
est the sound of a going in the tops
of the mulberry trees, that then
thou Shalt bestir thyself: for then

2 Sa. 8—1 And it came to pass,
that David smote the Philistines,
and subdued them.
2 And he smote Moab, and
measured them With a line, cast-
ing them down to the ground ;
even with two lines measiued lie
to put to death, and with one full
line to keep alive. And so the
Moabites became David's ser-
vants, and brought gifts.
3 David smote also Hadadezer,
the .son of Rehob, king of Zobah,
as he went to recover his border
at the river Euphrates. ' ■■; v.

zer king of Zobah, David slew of
the Syrians two and twenty thou-

David and Joab's battle with
the Ammonites and the hired
soldiers, 47,000 slain. See also 2
Chr. 25. 6, p. 434.
2 Sa. 10—1 And it came to pass
after this, that the king of the
children of Amnion died, and
Hanun his son reign in his stead.
2 Then said David, I will shew
ktrldness unto Hanun the son of
Nahash, as his fathershe wed kind-
ness unto me. And David sent to
comfort him by the hand of his
servants for his father. And Da-
vid's servants came into the land
of the children of Amnion.
3 And the princes of the children
of Amnion said unto Haniui their
lord, Thinkest thou that David
doth honour thy father, that he
hath sent comforters unto thee?
hath not David rather sent his
servants unto thee, to search the
city, and to spy it out, and to
overthrow it?
4 Wherefore Hanun took Da-
vid's servants, and shaved oi¥ the
one half of their beards, and cut
off their garments in the middle,
even to their buttocks, and sent
them away.
5 When they told it unto David,
he sent to meet them, because the
men were greatly ashamed: and
the king said. Tarry at Jericho
until your beards be grown, and
then return.
6 And when the children of
Ammon saw that they stank be-
fore David, the children of Am-
nion sent and hired the Syrians
of Beth-rehob, and the Syrians of
Zoba, twenty thousand footmen,
and of king Maacali a thousand
men, and of Ish-tob twelve thou-
sand men.
(1 Chr. 19—6 And when the chil-
dren of Ammon saw that they had
made themselves odious to David,
Hanxui and thechildrenof Amnion
sent a thousand talents of silver to
hire them chariots and horsemen
out of Mesopotamia, and out of
Syria-maachah.andout of Zobali.
7 So they hired thirty and two
thousand chariots, and the king
of Maachah and his people.)
7 And when Davia heard of it.
he sent Joab, and all the host of
the mighty men.
13 And Joab drew nigh, and the
people that were with him, unto
the battle against the Syrians:
and they lied before him.
14 And when the children of
Ammon saw that the Syrians
were fled, then fled they also be-
fore Abishai, and entered into the
city. So Joab returned, and came
to Jenisalem.
15 And when the Syrians saw
that they were smitten, they
gathered themselves together.
16 And Hadarezer sent, and
brought out the Syrians ; and they
came to Helani: and Shobach the
captain of the host of Hadarezer
went before them.
17 And when it was told David,
he gathered all Israel together,
and passed over Jordan, and came
to Helani. And the Syrians set
themselves in aiTay against Da-
vid, and fought with him.
18 And the Syrians fled before
Israel ; and David slew the men of
seven hundred chariots of the
Syrians, and forty thousand horse-
men, and smote Shobach the cap-
tain of their host, who died
there.
1 Clir. 19—18 But the Syrians fled
before Israel ; and David slew of
the Syrians seven thousand men
which fought in chariots, and
forty thousand footnien,and killed
Shophach the captain of the host.
DAVID, BATH-SHEBA, AND
URIAH.
See also the battle of Rabbah,
where David tortured his pris-
oners in a barbarous, cruel, and
inhuman manner (2 Sa. 12. 29-31,
p. 266). And yet he was a man
after the Lord's own heart, l Sa.
13. 14, p. 417, and Ps. 109.
David committed adultery with
Bath-Sheba, Uriah's wife, and
then sent for Uriah, one of the
generals in his army, and feasted
him, and made Ivini drtmk, all in
a kindly, hypocritical manner,
and then wrote Uriah's death
warrant in the form of a letter,
and gave it to him to deliver to
Joab, the commander-in-chief of
his army, which he did. And thus
425
Uriah, not knowing, carried his
own death warrant from the hand
of God's chosen man, David.
Death of Uriah. David married
his wife, who mourned for her
h\st husband. Natlian (one of Da-
vid's piophets), bv command of
the Lord, reproved David. David
repented, and the Lord pardoned
him ; yet he laid a ciu-se upon Da-
vid's house. See Amnon and Ta-
mar, 2 Sa. 13, p. 362; Absalom's
rebellion, 2 Sa. 18, p. 427.
Solomon, son of Uriah's wife, is
born, and named by David: also
named Jedidiah and Solomon by
tlie Lord.
2 Sa. 11—1 And it came to pass,
after the year was expired, at the
time when kings go forth to bat-
tle, that David sent Joab, and his
servants with him, and all Israel ;
and they destroyed the children
of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah.
But David tarried still at Jerusa-
lem.
2 And it came to pass in an
eveningtide, that David arose
from off his bed, and walked upon
the roof of the king's house : and
from the roof he saw a woman
washing herself: and the woman
was very beautiiul to look ^^pon.
3 And David sent anH inquired
after the woman. And one said,
Ls not this Bath-sheba, the daugh-
ter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah
the Hittite?
4 And David sent messengers,
and took her: and she came in
unto him, and he lay with her;
for she was purified from her un-
cleanness: and she returned unto
her house. .
5 And the woman conceived,
and sent and told David, and said,
1 am with child.
6 And David sent to Joab, say-
ing. Send me Uriah the Hittite.
And Joab sent Uriah to David.
7 And when Uriah was come un-
to him, David demanded of him
how Joab did, and how the people
did, and how tlie war prospered.
8 And David said to Uriah, Go
down to thy house, and wash thy
feet. And Uriah departed out of
the king's house, and there fol-
lowed him a mess of meat from
the king.
9 But Uriah slept at the door of
the king's house with all the serv-
ants of his lord, and went not
down to his house.
10 And when they had told Da-
vid, saying, Uriah went not down
unto his house, David said imto
Uriah, Camest thou not from thy
journey? why then didst thou not
go down unto thine house?
11 And Uriah said unto David,
The ark, and Israel, and Judah,
abide in tents; and my lord Joab,
and the servants of my lord,' are
encamped in the open fields; shall
I then go into mine house, to eat
and to drink, and to lie with my
wife? asthoiilivest, and asthy soul
liveth, I will not do this thing.
12 And David said to Uriah,
Tarry here to day also, and to
morrow I will let thee depart. So
Uriah abode in Jerusalem that
day, and the morrow.
13 And when David had called
hiin, he did eat and drink before
him; and he made him drunk:
and at even he went out to lie on
his bed with the .servants of his
lord, but went not down to his
house.
14 And it came to pass in the
morning, that David wrote a let-
ter to Joab, and sent it by the
hand of Uriah.
15 And he wrote in the letter,
saying. Set ye Uriah in the fore-
front of the hottest battle, and
retii-e ye from him, that he may
be smitten, and die.
16 And it came to pass, when
Jo.ab observed the city, that he as-
signed Uriah unto a place where
he knew that valiant men were.
17 And the men of the city went
out, and fought with Joab: and
there fell some of the people of
the servants of David; and Uriah
the Hittite died also.
18 Then Joab sent and told
David all the things concerning
the war.
22 IT So the messenger went, and
came and shewed David all that
Joab had sent him for.
23 And the messenger said unto
David, Surely the men prevailed
against us, and came out unto us
into the field, and we were upon
them even unto the entering of
the gate. , , „
24 And the shooters shot from orr
the wall upon thy servants; and
someoftheking'sservantsbedead,
436
and thy servant Uriah the Hittite
is de;id ivls«.>.

V^lease thee, for the sword devour-
eth one as well as another; make
thy Iwttle more strvnijr against
the city, and overthrvnv it; and
encvHur-ace thou him.
26 And when the wife of Uriah
heard that Uriah her huv4>and
was dead, she nioiuned for her
husbaud.
■Z7 And when the mourning was
past, David sent and fetched her
to his house, and sl>e became his
wife, and bare him a s<.>n. But
tlie thinjr that l>avid had done
displeased the Loki>.
2 Sa. li— 1 And the Lord sent
Nathan unto David. And lie
came unto him, and s;nd tinto
him. There were two men in one
city: the one rich, and the other
p<.K>rl
2 Tne rich man had exceeding
many tiocks and herds:
3 But thepiH^rman had notfunjf,
save one little ewe lanib. whiA
he had Umglit and nourished up:
and it grew up together witli him,
and with his childrmi ; it did eat
of his own meat, and drank of his
own cup, ami lay in his bvvsom,
and w;i6 unto him as a daughter.
4 And there came a traveller
unto the rich man, and lie spared
to take of his own titvk and of his
own herd, to dress for the wayfar-
ing man that was come unto him :
but tixik the ix>or man's lamb, and
dressed it for the man that was
come to him.
5 And David's anger was grreatlv
kindled against the man; and he
said to Nathan, As the Loko liv-
eth, the man that hath done this
thing shall siu-ely die:
6 And he shall restore the lamb
fourfold, because he did this
thing, and because he had no pit v.
7 And Nathan s;ud to David,
Thou art the man. Thuss;iitli the
LoRii God of Israel, I auinnted
thee king over Israel, and I deliv-
ered thee out of the hand of Saul ;
S .\nd I gave thee thy master's
house, and thy master's wives into
thy lx\>;om, and gave thee the
house of Israel and of .Tudah ; and
if that had been too little. I would
moreover have given unto thee
such and such things.
9 Wherefore hast thou despised
the commandment of the Li>ki\
to do evil in his si^hf; thou hast
killed I riah the Hittite with t'ne
sword, and hast taken his wife to
be thy wife, and hast slain him
with the swortl of the children ot
Ammon.
10 Now therefore the sworvi slui'l
never depart fnnu thine house;
iHX'ause thou hast despised me.
and hast taken the wife of Uriah
the Hittite to be thv wife.
11 Thus Siuth the Loki>. Behold.

ABSALOM'S REBELLION.
Battle between the armies of
Absalom and David. Absalom
and 2(j,(XXj men slain. To more
fullv understand the ret>elnon of
Absalom read 2 Sa., chapters l.!^2(j.
2 Sa. 18—1 And David numbered
the pef>ple that were with hmi,
and set captains of thousands
and captains of hundreds over
them.
2 And David sent forth a third
I>art of the i>eople under the hand
of Joab, and a third part under
the hand of .\bihhai the S'jn ot
Zeruiah, .Jvabs brcAher, and a
third i^rt under the hand of
Ittai the Gittite. And the king
said unto the people. 1 will surely
go forth with you myself alsfj.
3 But the pe<jple ans-wered, 1 hou
Shalt not go fJjrth : for if we flee
awav, thev will not care for us;
neither if naif of us die, will they
fare for us: but now thou art
worth ten thousand of us: there-
fore now it iB better that thou
sucofjur us out of the city.
4 Aud the king said unto them.
What seemeth you best I will do.
And the king su^fjd by the gate
and all the people came
thou-
side. »...* — - ---- r -•--
out by hundreds and by
sands. , , t
.0 And tVie kmg commanded Jo-
ab and Abisbai and Ittai. saying.
Deal gently for my sake with the
young man, even with Absalom.
And all the people heard when
the king gave all the captains
charge concerning Absalom.
6 ^ So the people went out mto
the field against Israel: aud the
battle was in the wood of Ephra-
7 Where the people of Israel
w^ere slain before the servants of
David, and there was there a
great slaughter that day of twenty
thousand men.
8 For the battle was there scat-
tered over the face of all the couu-
trj-: and the wood devoured more
people that day than the sword
devoured.
9 ^ And Absalom met the serv-
ants of David. And Absalom rode
upon a mule, and the mule went
under the thick boughs of a great
oak, and bis head caught hold ot
the oak, and he was taken up be-
tween the heaven and the earth ;
and the mule that was under him
went away. .
10 And a certain man ra-w it,
and told Joab, and said. Behold, I
saw Absalom hanged in an oak.
11 And Joab said unto the man
thatt-old hirn. And. behold, thou
sawest him, and why didst thou
not smite him, theretotheground?
and I would have given thee ten
shekels of silver, and a girdle.
12 .\nd the man said unto Joab,
Though I should receive a thou-
and shekels of silver in mine hand,
428
yet would I not put forth miue
hand against the king's son: for
in our hearing the king charged
thee and Abishaiand Ittai, saying,
Beware that none toucli tlie young
man Absalom.
13 Otherwise I should have
wrought falsehood against mine
own life: for there is no matter
hid from the king, and thou thy-
self wouldest have set thyself
against me.
14 Then said Joab, I may not
taiTy thus with thee. And he
took three darts in his hand, and
thrust them through the heart of
Ab.salom, while he was yet alive
in the midst of the oak.
15 And ten young men that bare
Joab's armour compassed about
and smote Absalom, and slewhim.
16 And Joab blew the trumpet,
and the people returned from pur-
suing after Israel: for Joab held
back the people.
17 And they took Absalom, and
cast him into a great pit in the
wood, and laid a very great heap
of stones upon him : and all Israel
fled every one to his tent.
18 Now Ab.salom in his lifetime
had taken and reared up for him-
self a pillar, which is in the king's
dale: for he .said, I have no son to
keep my name in remembrance:
and he called the pillar after his
own name: and it is called unto
this day, Absalom's place.
21 Then said Joab to Gushi, Go
tell the king what thou hast seen.
And Cushi bowed himself unto
Joab, and ran.
24 And David sat between the
two gates: and the watchman
went up to the roof over the gate
unto tlie wall, and lifted up his
eyes, and looked, and behold a
man running alone.
31 And Cushi came; and said.
Tidings, my lord the kmg : for the
Lord hath avenged thee this day
of all them that rose up against
thee.
32 And the king .said unto Cushi,
Is the young man Ab.salom safe?
And Cushi answered, The enemies
of my lord the king, and all that
rise against thee to do thee hurt,
be as that young man is.
33 And the king was much
moved, and went up to the cham-
ber over the gate, and wept : and
as he went, thus he said, O my
sou Absalom! my son, my .sou Al>-
salom! would God I had died for
thee, O Absalom, my son, my son!

FOUR GIANTS SLAIN.
2 Sa. 21—1 Then there was a fa-
mine in the days of David three
years, year after year; and David
inquired of the Lord. And the
Lord answered. It is for Saul, and
for his bloody house, because he
slew the Gibeonites.
2 And the king called the Gib-
eonites; (now the Gibeonites were
not of the children of Israel, but of
the remnant of the Amorites; and
the children of Israel had sworn
unto them : and Saul sought toslay
them in his zeal to the children of
Israel and Judah:)
3 Wherefore David said unto the
(Tibeonites, What shall I do for
you? and wherewith shall I make
the atonement, that ye may bless
the inheritance of the Lord?
4 And the Gibeonites said unto
him. We will have no silver nor
gold of Saul, nor of his house;
neither for us shalt thou kill any
man in Lsrael. And he said. What
ye shall say, that will I do for j;ou.
5 And they an.swered the king.
The man that consumed us, and
that devised against us that we
should be destroyed from remain-
ing in any of the coasts of Israel,
6 Let seven men of his sons be
delivered unto us, and we will
hang them up unto the Lord in
(xibeah of Saul, whom the Lord
did choo.se. And the king said, I
will give them.
7 But the king spared Mephibo-
sheth, the .son of Jonathan the son
of Saul, because of the Lord's
oath that was between them, be-
tween David and Jonathan the
son of Saul. 1 Sa. 20. 18-42, p. 359.
8 But the king took the two sons
of Rizpali the daughter of Aiah.
whom she bare vmto Saul, Arnioni
and Mephibosheth; and the five
sons of Michal the daughter of
Saul, whom she brought up for
429
Adriel the son of Barzillai the
]Meholathite:
(1 Sa. 18—19 But it came to pass
at tiie time when Merab Saul's
daughter should have been given
to David, that she was given unto
Adriel the Meholathite to wife.
1 Sa. 25—44 But Saul had given
]\IichaI his daughter, David's
wife, to Phalti the sou of Laisli.
See 2 Sa. 3. 13, 14.)
9 And he delivered them into the
hands of the Gibeonites, and they
hanged them in the liill before
the Lokd: and tliey fell all seven
together, and were put to death
in the days of harvest, in the be-
ginning of barley harvest.
1.5 The Philistines luid war again
with Israel; and David and his
servants fought against the Phi-
listines: and David waxed faint.
16 And Ishbi-benob, which was
of the sons of the giant, the weight
of whose spear weiglied three hun-
dred sliekels of brass in weight, he
being girded with a new sword,
thouglit to have slain David.
17 But Abishai succoured him,
and smote the Philistine. Then
the men of David sware unto him,
saying, Thou shalt go no more
out with us to battle, that thou
quench not the light of Israel.
18 And it came to pass after this,
that there was again a battle witli
the Philistines at Gob: Then Sib-
bechai the Hushathite slew Saph,
which was of the sous of the
giant.
19 And there was again a baftle
in Gob with the Philistines, where
Elhanan, a Beth-leliemite,, slew
the brother of Goliatli the Gittite,
the stafi of whose spear was like
a weave'-'s beam.
20 And there was yet a battle in
Gath, where was a man of great
stature, that had on every hand
six fingers, and on every foot six
toes, four and twenty in number ;
and he also was born to the
giant.
21 And when he defied Israel,
Jonathan the son of Shimeah the
brother of David slew him.
22 Tiiese four were born to the
giant in Gath, and fell by the hand
of David, and his servants.
David's mighty men of war. See
also Joab, commander-in-cliief of
David's army, and Uriali, one of
the mighty men, 2 Sa. 11, p. 425.
2 Sa. 23—8 These be the names
of the mighty men whom David
had: The Tachmonite that sat
in the seat, cliief among the cap-
tains; the same was Adino the
Eznite: he lifted up his .spear
against eight hundred, whom he
slew at one time.
(1 Clir. 11—11 And of the mighty
men whom David had; Jaslro-
beam, a Hachmonite, the chief of
the captains: he lifted up his
spear against three hundred slaiu
by him at one time.)
9 Andafter him wasEleazarthe
son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of
the three mighty men with Da-
vid, when they defied the Philis-
tines that were there gathered
together to battle, and the men
of Israel were gone away:
10 He arose, and smote the Phi-
listines until his hand was weary,
and his liand claveunto the sword :
and the Lord wrought a great
victory that day; and the peo-
ple retui-ned after him only to
spoil.
11 And after Irim was Shammah
the son of A^ee the Hararite.
Andthe Philistines were gatliered
together into a troop, where was
a piece of ground full of lentiles:
and the people fled fx-om the Phi-
listines.
12 But he stood in the midst of
the ground, and defended it, and
slew the Philistines: and the
Lord wrought a great victory.
Vrs. 1.5-17, p. 302.
18 And Abishai, the brother of
Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was
chief among three. And he lifted
up liis spear against three hun-
dred, and slew them, and had ths
name among three.
20 And Benaiah the son of Jehci-
ada, the son of a valiant man, who
had done many acts, lie slew two
lionlike men of Moab: he went
down also and slew a lion in the
midst of a pit in time of snow.
21 And he slew an Egyptian, a
goodly man: and the Egyptian
had a spear in his hand ; but he
went down to him with a staff,
and plucked the spear out of the
Egyptian's hand, and slew him
with his own spear, p. 402.

A GREAT BATTLE BETWEEN
JEWISH BROTHERS.
Abijah. son of Relioboam. king
of Judah. with an army of 400,000
men defeated Jeroboam king of
Israel with an army of 800,000 men,
and slew 500,000 of his Jewish
brothers, all with the help of the
Lord.
2 Chr. 13—1 Now in the eight-
eenth year of king Jeroboam be-
gan Abijah to reign over Judah.
2 He reigned three years in Je-
rusalem. And there was war be-
tween Abijah and Jeroboam .
3 And Abijah set the battle in
array with an army of valiant
men of war, even four- hundred
thousand chosen men : Jeroboam
also set the battle in aiTay against
him with eight hundred thousand
chosen men, being mighty men
of valour.
14 And when Judah looked
back, behold, the battle was be-
fore and behind: and they cried
unto the Lord, and the priests
sounded with the trumpets.
15 Then the men of Judah gave
a sbout : and as the men of Judah
shouted, it came to pass, that God
smote Jeroboam and all Israel be-
fore Abijah and Judah.
16 And the children of Israel fled
before Judah: and God delivered
them into their hand.
17 And Abijah and his people
slew them with a great slaughter :
so there fell down slain of Israel
live hundred thousand chosen
men. p. 203.
Asa, king of Judah, with 580.000
men defeated Zerah the Ethio-
pian with 1,000,000 men and 300
chariots.
2 Chr. 14—8 And Asa had an
army of men that bare targets
and spears, out of Judah three
hundred thousand; and oiit of
Benjamin, that bare shields and
drew bows, two himdred and
foiu-score thousand: all these
were mighty men of valour.
'/ 9 And there came out against
them Zerah the Ethiopian with a
host of a thousand thousand, and
three hundred chariots ; and came
unto Mareshah.
10 Then Asa went out against
him, and they set the battle in
-array in the valley of Zephathah
at Mareshah.
11 And Asa cried unto the Lord,
and said. Lord, it is nothing with
thee to help, whether with many,
or with them that have nopower:
help us, O Lord ovir God ; for we
rest on thee, and in thy name we
go against this multitude. O
Lord, thou art our God; let not
man prevail against thee.
12 So the Lord smote the Ethi-
opians before Asa, and before Ju-
dah ; and the Ethiopians fled.
13 And Asa and the people that
were with him pursued them unto
Gerar: and the Ethiopians were
overthrown, that they could not
recover themselves; for they were
destroyed before the Lord, and
before his host; and they earned
away very much spoil.
14 And they smote all the cities
about Gerar; for the fear of the
Lord came upon them : and they
spoiled the cities; for there was
exceeding much spoil in them.
15 They smote also the tents of
cattle, and carried away .sheep
and camels in abundance, and re-
turned to Jerusalem.
Battle of the hills and battle
of the plain, 127,000 slain. See also
death of king Ahab, 1 Ki. 22. 29,
p. 374.
I'Ki. 20—1 And Ben-hadad the
king of Syria gathered all his host
together: and there were thirty
and two kings with him, and
horses, and chariots: and he went
u^p and besieged Samaria, and
warred against it.
2 And he sent messengers to
Ahab king of Israel into the city,
and said unto him. Thus saith
Ben-hadad,
3 Thy silver and thy gold is
mine ; thy wives also and thy
children, even the goodliest, are
mine.
11 And the king of Israel an-
swered and said. Tell him. Let not
him that girdeth on his harness
boast himself as he that putteth
it off,
12 And it came to pass, when
Ben-hadad heard this message, as
he was drinking, he and the kings
in the pavilions, that he said unto
his servants. Set yoiirselves in ar-
431
ray. And they set themselves in
•^array against the city.
13 Aud, behold, there came a
prophet unto Ahah king of Israel,
saying, Thus saith tne Lord,
Hast thou seen all this great mul-
titude? behold,] will deliver itm-
to thine hand this day ; and thou
Shalt know that 1 am the Lord.
14 And Ahab said. By whom?
And he said. Thus .saith the Lord,
Even by the young men of the
princes of the provinces. Then he
said. Who shall order the battle?
And he answered. Thou.
15 Then he numbered the young
men of the princes of the prov-
inces, and they were two hundred
and thirty two: and after them
he numbered all the people, even
all the children of Israel, being
seven thousand.
19 So these yomig men of the
princes of the provinces came out
of the city, and the army which
followed them.
20 And they slew every one his
man: and the Syrians fled; and
Israel pursued them: and Ben-
hadad the king of Syria escaped
on a horse with the horsemen.
21 And the king of Israel went
out, and smote the horses and
chariots, and slew the Syrians
with a great slaughter.
23 And the servants of the king
of Syria said unto him. Their gods
are gods of the hills; therefore
they were stronger than we ; but
let us fight against them in the
plain, and surely we shall be
stronger than they.
24 And do this thing, Take the
kings away, and put captains in
their rooms.
26 And at the return of the year,
Benhadad numbered the Syrians,
and went up to Aphek, to fight
against Israel.
27 And the childrenof Israel were
numbered, and pitched before
them like two little flocks of kids ;
but the Syrians filled the country.
28 And there came a man of
God, and spake unto the king of
Israel, and said. Thus saith the
Lord, Because the Syrians have
said. The Lord is God of the hills,
but he is not God of the valleys,
therefore will I deliver all this
great multitude into thine hand,
and ye shall know that I am the
Lord.
29 And they pitched one over
against the other seven days.
And so it was, that in the seventh
day the battle was joined: and
the children of Israel slew of the
Syrians a hundred thousand foot-
men in one day.
30 But the rest fled to Aphek, in-
to the city; and there a wall fell
upon twenty and seven thousand
of the men that were left.
Jehoshaphat's army of 1,160,000 j
men.
2 Chr. 17—12 And Jehoshaphat ;
waxed great exceedingly ; and he
built in Judah castles, and cities ■
of store. , . .
13 And he had much busmess in
the cities of Judah : and the men
of war, mighty men of valour,
were iu Jerusalem.
u And these are the numbers of
them according to the house of
their fathers: Uf Judah, the cap-
tains of thousands; Adnah the
chief, and with him mighty men
of valour three hundred thousand.
15 And next to him was Jeho-
hanan the captain, and with him
two hundred and four-score thou-
sand. .
16 And next him was Amasiah
the son of Zichri, who willingly
offered himself unto the Lord;
and with him two hundred thou-
sand mighty men of valour.
17 And of Benjamin; Eliada a
mighty man of valour, and with
him armed men with bow and
shield two hundred thousand.
18 And next him was Jehozabad,
and with him a hundred and
fourscore thousand readyprepared
for the war. , , .
19 These waited on the king, be-
sides those whom the king put m
the fenced cities throughout all
Judah. p. 294.
Jehoshaphat's singing battle, or
the Lord's battle.
2 Chr. 20—1 It came to pass after
this also, that the children of
Moab, and the children of Am-
nion, and with them other besides
the Ammonites, came against
Jehoshaphat to battle.
14 Then upon Jahaziel, a Levite
of the sons of Asaph, came the
Spirit of the Lord in the midst of
the congregation;
15 And he said. Hearken ye, all
Judah, and ye inhabitants of J e-
432
rusalem, and tliou king Jehosha-
phat, Thus saith the Lord vuito
yon, Be not afraid nor dismayed
by reason of this great multitude ;
for the battle is not yours, but
God's.
16 To morrow go ye down against
them: behold, they come up by
the cliff of Ziz; and ye shall tiud
them at the end of the brook, be-
fore the wilderness of Jeruel.
17 Ye shall not need to tight in
this battle: set yourselves, stand
ye still, and see the salvation of
the Lord with you, O Judah and
Jerusalem : fear not, nor be dis-
mayed : to morrow go out against
them : for the Lord will be with
you.
20 And they rose early in the
morning, and went forth into the
wilderness of Tekoa: and as they
went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and
said. Hear me, O Judah, and ye
inhabitants of Jenisalem : Believe
in the Lord your God, so shall ye
be established ; believe his proph-
ets, so shall ye prosper.
21 And when he nad consulted
with the people, he appointed
singers unto the Lord, and that
should praise the beauty of holi-
ness, as they went out before the
army, and to say. Praise the Lord ;
for his mercy endureth for ever.
22 And when they began to sing
and to praise, the Lord set am-
bushments against the children
of Ammon, Moab, and mount 8eir,
which were come against Judah ;
and they were smitten.
23 For the children of Ammon
and Moab stood up against the in-
habitants of mount Seir, utterly
to slay and destroy them: and
when they had made an end of the
inhabitants of Seir, every one
helped to destroy anothei-.
24 And when Judah came toward
the watchtower in the wilderness,
they looked unto the miiltitude,
and, behold, they were dead bod-
ies fallen to the earth, and none
escaped, p. 267.
The king of Israel, Judah, and
Edom fought against the king of
Moab. Water miraculously sup-
plied. " Moab to the spoils."
2 Ki. 3—6 IT And king Jehoram
went out of Samaria, and number-
ed all Israel.
7 And he went and ^ent to Je-
hoshaphat the king of Judah, sav-
ing, The king of Moab hath rebel-
led against me: wilt thou go with
me against Moab to battle? And
he said, I will go up : I am as thou
art, my people as tliy people, and
my horses as thy horses.
8 And he said. Which way shall
we go up? And he answered, Tlie
way through the wilderness of
Edom.
9 So the king of Israel went, and
the king of Judah, aud the king of
Edom: aud they fetched a com-
pass of seven days' journey: and
there was no water for the host,
and for the cattle that followed
them.
16 And Elisha said. Thus saitli
the Lord, Make this valley full
of ditches.
17 For thus saith the Lord, Ye
shall not see wind, neither shall
ye see rain; yet that valley shall
be filled with water, that ye may
drink, both ye, and your cattle,
and your beasts.
18 Aud this is but a light thing
in the sight of the Lord: he will
deliver the Moabites also into your
hand.
19 And ye shall smite every
fenced city, and every choice city,
and shall fell every good tree, and
stop all wells of water, and mar
every good piece of land with
stones.
20 And it came to pass in the
morning, when the meat offering
was offered, that, behold, there
came water by the way of Edom,
and the country was filled with
water.
21 And when all the Moabites
heard that the kings were come up
to fight against them, they gath-
ered all that were able to put on
armour, aud upward, and stood in
the border.
22 And they rose up early m the
morning, and the sun shone upon
the water, aud the Moabites saw
the water on the other side as red
as blood :
23 And they said. This is blood :
the kings are surely slain, and
they have smitten one another:
now therefore, Moab, to the spoil.
24 And when they came to the
camp of Israel, the Israelites rose
up and smote the Moabites, so that
they tied before them: but they
went forward smiting the Moab-
ites, even in their coiintry.
"
433
25 And they beat down the
cities, and on every good piece oi
land cast every man his stone,
and tilled it; and they stopped
all the wells of water, and lelled
all the good trees: only m Ku-
haraseth left they the stones
thereof; how belt the shngers
went about it. and smote it.
26 And when the king of Moab
saw that the battle was too sore
for him, he took with him seven
hundred men that drew swords, to
break through even unto the knig
of Edom : but they could not.
27 Then he took his eldest son
that .should have reigned ui his
stead, and offered him for a burnt
offering upon the wall. And there
was great indignation against Is-
rael : and they departed from him,
and returned to tneir own land.
The Syrian army sent to appre-
hend Elisha was struck with
blindness. The Syrian army sent
against Samaria was frightened
away by the Lord.
2 Ki. 6—8 Then the king of Syria
warred against Israel.
13 And he said, Go and spy
where Elisha is, that 1 may send
and fetch him. And it was told
him, saying, he is in Dothan.
14 Therefoie sent lie thither
horses, and chariots, and a great
host: and they came by night,
and compassed the city about.
18 And Elisha prayed unto the
Lord, and said. Smite this people
I pray thee, with blindness. And
he smote them with blindness
according to the word of Elisha.
19 And Elisha said unto them,
This is not the way, neither is this
the city: follow me, and I will
bring you to the man whom ye
seek. But he led them to Samaria.
20 And it came to pass, when
they were come into Samaria, that
Elisha said. Lord, open the eyes
of these men, that they may see.
And the Lord opened their eyes,
and they saw; and, behold, they
were in the midst of Samaria. .
21 And the king of Israel said
unto Elisha. when he saw them.
My father, shall I smite them?
22 And he answered. Thou shalt
not smite them: wouldest thou
smite those whom thou hast taken
captive with thy sword and witli
thy bow? set bread and water
before them, that they may eat
and drink, and go to their master.
23 And he prepared great pro-
vision for them: and wiien they
hadeateu and drunk, hesentthem
away, and they went to their mas-
ter. So the bands of Syria came
no more into the land of Israel.
24 And it came to pass after
this, that Ben-hadad king of Syria
gathered all his host, and went
up, and besieged Samaria.
2.5 And there was a great famine
in Samaria: and, behold, they be-
sieged it, until an a.ss's head was
sold for fourscore pieces of silver,
and the fourth part of a cab of
dove's dung for five pieces of sil-
ver, p. 82, 83.
2 Ki. 7—1 Then Elisha said. Hear
ye the word of the Lord ; thus
saith the Lord, To morrow about
this time shall a measure of line
flour be sold for a shekel, and two
measm-es of barley for a shekel,
in the gate of Samaria.
3 And there were four leprous
men at the entering in of the gate : ,
and they said one to another.
Why sit we here until we die?
4 If we say. We will enter into
the city, then the famine is in the
city, and we shall die there : and
if we sit still here, we die also.
Nowthereforecome,and let us fall
unto the host- of the Syrians: i£
they save us alive, we shall live ;
and if they killus, we shall but die.
5 And they rose up in the twi-
light, to go unto the camp of the
Syrians: and when they were
come to the uttermost part of the
camp of Syria, behold, there was
no man there. , , , ^,
6 For the Lord had made the
host of the Syrians to hear a noise
of chariots, and a noise of horsesi
even the noise of a great host : and
they said one to another, Lo, the
king of Israel hath hired against
us the kings of the Hittites, and
the kings of the Egyptians, to
come upon us.
7 Wherefore they arose and flecl
in the twilight, and left their
tents, and their horses, and then-
asses, even the camp as it was,
and tied for their life. ^
8 And when these lepers came to
the uttermost part of the camp,
they went into one tent, and am
eat and drink, and carried thence
silver, and gold, and raiment, and
went and hid it ; and came again,
434
and entered iuto another tent,
and carried thence also, and went
and hid it.
9 Then they said one to another.
We do not well: this day is a day
of ^'ood tidings, and we hold our
peace: if we tarry till the morning
light, some mischief will come
upon us: now therefore come,
that we may go and tell the
king's household.
14 And the king sent after the
ho.st of the Syrians, saying. Go
and see.
15 And they went after them
unto Jordan: and, lo, all the way
was full of garments and vessels,
which the Syrians had cast away
in their haste. And the messen
gers returned, and told the king
16 And tlie people went out, and
spoiled the tents of the Syrians.
So a measure of tine flour was sold
for a shekel, and two measures of
harley for a shekel, according to
the word of the Lord.
Amaziah with an army of 300,noo
men defeated the children of Seir,
23,0(X) slain.
2 Chr. 2&— 5 Amaziah gathered
Judah together: and he numbered
them from twenty years old and
above, and found them three hun-
dred thousand choice men, able
to go forth to war, that could han-
dle spear and shield.
6 He hired also a hundred thou-
sand mighty men of valour out of
Israel for a hundred talents of
silver.
7 But there came a man of God
to him, saying, O king, let not the
army of Israel go with thee ; for
the Lord is not with Israel, to wit,
with all the children of Ephraim.
8 But if thou wilt go, do it, be
strong for the battle: God shall
make thee fall before the enemy:
for God hath power to help, and
to cast down.
9 And Amaziah said to the man
of God, But what shall we do for
the hundred talents which 1 have
given to the army of Israel ? And
the man of God answered. The
Lord is able to give thee much
more than this.
10 Then Amaziah separated
them, to wit, the army that was
come to him out of Ephraim, to go
home again: wherefore their an-
ger was greatly kindled against
Judah, and they returned home
in great anger.
11 And Amaziah strengthened
himself, and led forth his people,
and went to the valley of salt, and
smote of the children of Seir ten
thousand.
12 And other ten thousand left
alive did the children of Judah
carry away captive, and brought
them unto the top of the rock,
and cast them down from the top
of the rock, that they all were
broken in pieces.
13 H But the soldiers of the army
which Amaziah sent back, that
they should not go with him to
battle, fell upon the cities of Ju-
dah, from Samaria even vmto
Beth-horon, and smote three thou-
sand of them, and took much spoil.
120,000 Jews slain in one day, be-
cause they had forsaken the Lord.
The cliildren of Israel carried
away captive of their own breth-
ren 200,000.
2 Chr. 28—6 Pekah the son of
Remaliali slew in Judah a hun-
dred and twenty thousand in one
day, which were all valiant men ;
because they had forsaken the
Lord God of their fathers.
8 And the children of Israel car-
ried away captive of their brethren
two hundred thousand, women,
sons, and daughters, and took also
away much spoil from them, and
brought the spoil to Samaria.
9 But a prophet of the Lord was
there, whose name wasOded: and
he went out before the host that
came to Samaria, and said unto
them. Behold, because the Lord
God of your fathers was wroth
with Judah, he hath delivered
them into your hand, and ye have
slain them in a rage that reacheth
up unto heaven.
10 And now ye purpose to keep
under the children of Judah and
Jerusalem for bondmen and bond-
women unto you: but are there
not with you, even with you, sins
against the Lord your God?
11 Now hear me therefore, and
deliver the captives again, which
ye have taken captive of your
brethren: for the tierce wrath of
the Lord is upon you.
14 So the armed men left the
captives and the sijoil before the
princes and all the congregation.
15 And the men which were ex-
pressed by name ro.se up, and took
the captives, and with the spoil
435
clothed all that were naked
amoug them, and arrayed them.
and shod them, and gave theni to
eat and to drink, and anomted
them, and earned all the feehle
of them upon asses, and brougnt
them to Jericho, the city ot pahn
trees, to their brethren : then they
returned to Samaria.
An angel of the Lord smote
185.000 Assyrians in one night.
See also 2 Chr. 32. 21, Is. 37. 36.
2 Ki 19—20 Then Isaiah the, son
of Amoz sent to Hezekiah. saying.
Thus saith the Lokd Uod ot
Israel, That which thou hast
prayed to me against Sennacherib
king of Assyria I have heard.
32 Therefore thus saith the Lord
concerning the king of Assyria,
He shall not come mto this city ,
nor shoot an arrow there, nor
come before it with shield, nor
cast a blank against it.
33 By the way that he came, b5
the same shall he return, and
shall not come into this city.
34 For I will defend this city, to
save it. for mine own sake, and
for my servant David's sake.
35 And it came to pass that
night, that the angel of the Lord
went out. and smote m the camp
of the Assyrians a hundred tour-
score and live thousand : ai d when
thev arose early in the morning,
be hold, they were all dead corpses
3C So Sennacherib king of As-
syria departed, and went and re
turned, and dwelt at Nmeveh
37 And it came to pass, as he was
worshipping in the house ot JNis-
roch his god, that Adraramelech
and Sharezer his sons smote him
with the sword: and they es-
caped into the land of Armenia.
And Esar-haddon his son reigned
in his stead.

Eze. 38—1 And the word of the
Lord came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face a-
gainst Gog. the land ot Magog
the chief prince ot Meshech and
Tubal, and prophesy against him,
3 And say. Thus saith the Lord
God ; Behold, I am against thee,

great company, and a mighty
tirii.iv '
16 And thou shalt come up
against my people of Israel, as a
cloud to cover the laud; it sha
be in the latter days, and I will
bring thee against my land, that
the heathen may know me, when
I shall be sanctitied in thee, O
Gog, before their eyes.
18 And it shall come to pass at
the same time when Gog shall
come against the land of Israel,
saith the Lord God, that my fury
shall come up in my face. .
19 For in my jealousy and m the
fire of my wrath have I spoken.
Surely in that day there shall be
a great shaking in the land of
^20*So that the fishes of the sea.
and the fowls of the heaven and
the beasts of the field, and all
creeping things that creep upon
the earth, and all the men that are
upon the face of the earth, shall
shake at my presence, and the
mountains shall be throwii down,
and the steep places shall fall, and
every wall shall f al 1 to the ground.
iX
21 And I will call for a sword
agaiust him throughout all uiy
liiouutaiiis, saith the Lord God:
every man's sword shall be agaiust
his brother.
22 And I will plead agaiust him
with pestilence and with blood;
and I will rain upon him, and upon
the many people that are with
him, an overflowing raiu, and
great hailstones, fire, aud brim-
stone.
23 Thus will 1 magnify myself,
and sanctify myself ; aud I will be
known in the eyes of many na-
tions, and they shall know that 1
aui the Lord.
Eze. 39—1 Therefore, son of man,
prophecy agaiust Gog, aud say.
Thus saith the Lord God ; Behold,
I am against thee, O God, the cliiei
prince of Meshech aud Tubal:
2 Aud 1 will turn thee back, aud
leave but the sixth part of thee.
3 And I will smite thy bow out
of thy left hand, aud thine arrows
out of thy right hand.
4 Thou shalt fall upon the
mountains of Israel, thou, aud all
thy bands, and the people that is
with thee: I will give thee unto
the raveuous birds of every sort,
and to the beasts of the field, to
be devoured.
5 Thou shalt fall upon the ojien
field: for I have spoKeu it, saith
the Lord God.
6 And I will send a fire on Ma-
gog, and among them that dwell
carelessly in the isles: and they
shall know that I am the Lord. "
8 Behold, it is come, aud it is
done, saith the Lord God; this is
the day whereof I have spoken.
9 And they that dwell in the
cities of Israel sliall go forth, and
shall set on fire and burn the
weapons, both the shields and the
bucklers, the bows and the arrows,
aud the handstaves, and the
spears, and they shall bui-n them
with fire seven years:
10 Sothatthey shall takenowood
out of the field, neither cut down
any out of the forests; for they
shall burn the weapons with fire:
and they shall spoil those that
spoiled them, and rob those that
robbed them, saith the Lord God.
11 And it shall come to pass in
that day. that I will give unto Gog
a place there of graves in Israel,
the valley of the passengers on the
east of the sea; and it shall stop
the uoses of the passengers: and
there shall they bury Gog aud all
his multitude: and they shall call
it. The valley of Hamou-gog.
12 Aud seven mouths shall the
be burying of
house of Israel
them.
13 Yea, all the people of the land
shall bury them; and it shall be
to them a renown the day that
I shall be glorified, saith the
Lord.
14 Aud they shall sever out men
of continual employment, passing
through the land, to bury with
the passengers those that remai)i
upon the face of the earth, to
cleanse it: after the end of seven
months shall they search.
15 And the passengers that pass
through the land, when anyseeth
a man's bone, then shall he set
up a sign by itt till the buriers
have buried it in the valley of
Hamou-gog.
16 And also the name of the city
shall be Hamonah.
17 And, thou son of man, thus
saith the Lord God: Speak unto
every feathered fowl, and to every
beast of the field, Assemble your-
selves, and come' gather your-
selves on every side to my sacri-
fice that I do sacrifice for you,
even a great sacrifice upon the
mountains of Israel, that ye may
eat flesh, and drink blood.
18 Ye shall eat the flesh of the
mighty, aud di-ink the blood of the
princes of the earth, of rams, of
lambs, and of goats, of bullocks,
all of them fathngsof Bashan.
19 And ye shall eat fat till ye
be full, and drink blood till ye be
drunken, of my sacrifice which I
have sacrificed for you.
20 Thus ye shall be filled at my
table with horses aud chariots,
with mighty men, and with all
men of war, saith the Lord God.

1 Ki. 3—16 Then came there two
women, that were harlots, unto
king Solomon, and stood before
him. .J ,-,
17 And the cue woman said, O
my lord, I aud this woman dwell
in one house ; and I was delivered
of a child with her in the house.
18 Aud the third day after I was
delivered, this woman was deliv-
ered also: and we were together;
there was no stranger with vis in
the house. , ,.,,,.,
19 Aud this woman's child died
in the night; because she over-
laid it. . , . , ^
20 And she arose at midnight,
and took my sou from beside me,
while thine handmaid slept, and
laid it iu her bosom, aud laid her
dead child iu my bosom.
21 And when I rose in the morn-
ing to give my child suck, behold,
it was dead : but when 1 had con-
sidered it, behold, it was not my
son, which I did bear.
22 And the other woman said.
Nay ; but the living is my son, and
the dead is thy son. And this said ,
No; but the dead is thy son, and
the living is my son. Thus they
spake before the king.
23 Then said the king, The one
saith. This is my son that liveth,
and thy son is the dead : and the
other saith. Nay; but thy son is
the dead, and my son is the living.
24 And the king said. Bring me a
sword. And they brought asword.
25 And the king said. Divide the
living child in two, and give half
to the one, and half to the other.
26 Then spake the woman whose
the living child was unto the king,
for her bowels yearned upon her
.son, and she said, O my lord, give
her the living child, and in no wise
slay it. But the other said. Let it
be neither mine nor thine, but di-
vide it. , ,
27 Then the king answered and
said. Give her the livhig child, and
in no wise slay it : she is the moth-
er thereof, jr..,
28 And all Israel heard of the
judgment which the king had
judged ; and they feared the king :
tor they saw that the wisdom of
God was in him to do judgment.
Jno. 8—2 And early in the morn-
ing he came again into the tem-
ple, and all the people came unto
him ; and he sat down, aud taught
them. ., , T^, .
3 And the scribes and Pharisees
brought unto him a woman taken
iu adultery; and when they had
set her in the midst,
4 Thev say unto him. Master,
this woman was taken in adultery,
in the very act.
5 Now Moses in the law com-
manded us, that such should be
stoned? but what say est thou?
6 This they said, tempting him,
that they might have to accuse
him. But Jesus stooped down,
and with his finger wrote on the
ground, as though he heard them
7 Sowhen they continued asking
him, he lifted up himself, and
said unto them. He that is with-
out sin among you, let him first
cast a stone at her.
8 And again he stooped down,
and wrote on the ground. _ .
9 And thev which heard it, being
convicted bytheirown conscience,
went out one by one, beginning at
the eld ist, even unto the last : and
Jesus was left alone, and the wo-
man standing in the midst. .
10 When Jesus had lifted up him-
self, and saw none but the woman,
he said unto her. Woman, where
are those thine accusers? hath no
man condemned thee?
11 She said. No man. Lord. And
Jesus said unto her. Neither do I
condemn thee: go, and sin no
more.
Le. 19— 29 Do not prostitute thy
daughter, to cause her to be a
whore ; lest the land fall to whore-
dom, and the land become full of
wickedness. ,
Le. 20—16 If a woman approach
unto anv beast, and lie down
thereto, thou .«halt kill the wo-
man, and the beast: they shall
surely be put to death; their
blood shall be upon them.
Le. 21—9 And the daughter of
any priest, if she profane herself
by playing the whore, she profan-
eth her father: she shall be burnt
with fire.
De. 23—17 There shall be no
whore of the daughters of Israel,
nor a sodomite of the sons oi
Israel.
18 Thou shalt not bring the hire
of a whore, or the price of a dog,
into the house of the Lord thy
(iod for any vow: for even both
these are abomination unto the
LoKD thy God.
I 8a. 2—22 Eli was very old, and
heard all that his sons did ; and
liow they lay with tbe women
that assembled at the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation.
Pro.2 — 10 When wisdom entereth
into thine heart, and knowledge
is pleasant unto thy soul ;
II Discretion shall preserve thee,
understanding shall keep thee.
16 To deliver thee from the
strange woman, even from the
stranger which liattereth with
her words;
17 Which forsaketh the guide of
her youth, and forgetteth the cov-
enant of her God.
18 For her house inclineth unto
death, and her paths unto the
dead.
19 None that go unto her return
again, neither take they hold of
the paths of life.
Pro. 5—3 For the lips of a strange
Woman drop as a honeycomb, and
her mouth is smoother than oil :
4 But her end is bitter as worm-
wood, sharp as a twoedged sword.
5 Her feet go down to death;
her steps take hold on hell.
6 Lest thou shouldest ponder
the path of life, her ways are
moveable, that thou canst not
know them.
8 Remove thy way far from her,
and come not nigh the door of her
house:
9 Lest thou give thine honour
unto others, and thy years unto
the cruel:
10 Lest strangers be filled Avith
tliy wealth ; and thy labours be in
the house of a stranger;
11 And thou mourn at the last,
when thy flesh and thy body are
consumed.
18 Let thy fountain be blessed :
and rejoice with the wife of thy
youth.
19 Let her be as the loving hind
and pleassant roe; let her breasts
satisfy thee at all times; and be
thou ravished always with her
love.
20 And why wilt thou, my son,
be ravished with a strange wo-
man, and embrace the bosom of a
stranger?
Pro. 6—23 For the commandment
is a lamp; and the law is light;
and reproofs of instruction are the
way of life:
24 To keep thee from the evil
woman, from the flattery of the
tongue of a strange woman.
25 Lust not after her beauty in
thine heart ; neither let her take
thee with her eyelids.
26 For by means of a whorish
woman a man is brought to a
piece of bread : and the adulteress
will hunt for the precious life. p.
95.
Pro. 7—1 My son, keep my words,
and lay up my commandments
with thee.
5 That they may keep thee from
the strange woman, from the
stranger which flattereth with
her words.
6 For at the window of my
house I looked through my case-
ment,
7 And beheld among the simple
ones, I discerned among the
youths, a young man void of un-
derstanding,
8 Passing through the street
near her corner; and he went the
way to her house,
9 In the twilight, in the evening,
in the black and dark night:
10 And, behold, there met him a
woman with the attire of a harlot,
and subtile of heart.
11 (She is loud and stubborn;
her feet abide not in her house:
12 Now is she without, now iu
the streets, and lieth in wait at
every corner.)
i;j iSoshecaiighthim, and kissed
him, and with an impudent face
said unto him,
14 1 have peace offerings with
me; this day have I paid my
vows.
15 Therefore came I forth to
meet thee, diligently to seek thy
face, and I have found thee.
16 I have decked my bed with
coverings of tapestry, with ca^'ved
works, with fine linen of Egypt.
439
17 I liave perfumed my bed with
myrrh, aloes, and ciunamon.
18 Come, let us take our till of
love until the morning : let us so-
lace ourselves with loves.
19 For the goodman is not at
home, he is gone a long journey:
20 He hath taken a bag of mon-
ey with him, and will come
home at the day appointed.
21 With much fair speech she
caused him to yield, with the
flattering of her lips she forced
him. . ,
22 He goeth after her straight-
way, as an ox goeth to the slaugh-
ter, or as a fool to the correction
of the stocks; .
23 Till a dart strike through his
liver; as a bird hasteth to the
snare, and knoweth not that it is
for his life.
24 Hearken unto me now there-
fore, O ye children, and attend to
the words of my mouth.
25 Let not thine heart decline
to her ways, go not astray in her
paths.
26 For she hath cast down many
wounded : yea, many strong men
have been slain by her.
27 Her house is the way to hell,
going down to the chambers of
death.
Pro. 9—13 A foolish woman is
clamorous: she is simple, and
knoweth nothing.
14 For she sitteth at the door of
her house, on a seat in the high
places of the city,
1.5 To call passengers who go
right on theii- ways:
16 Whoso is simple, let him turn
in hither: and as for him that
wanteth understanding, she saith
to him,
17 Stolen waters are sweet, and
bread eaten in secret is pleas-
ant.
18 But he knoweth not that the
dead are there; and that her
guests are in the depths of hell.
Pro. 22—14 The mouth of strange
women is a deep pit: he that is
abhorred of the Lord shall fall
therein.
Pro. 23—27 For a whore is a deep
ditch; and a strange woman is a
narrow pit. , . ,
Pro. 29—3 Whoso lovetVi wisdom
rejoiceth his father: but he that
keepeth company with harlots
spendeth his substance.
Pro. 30—20 Such is the way of an
adulterous woman; she eateth,
and wipeth her mouth, and saith,
I have done no wickedness.
Is. 57—3 Draw near hither, ye
sons of the sorceress, the seed of
the adulterer and the whore.
4 Against whom do ye sport
yourselves? against whom make
ye a wide mouth, and draw out
the tongue? are ye not children
of transgression, a seed of false-
hood,
Je. 3—3 Therefore the showers
have been withholden, and there
hath been no latter rain; and
thou hadst a whore's forehead,
thou refusedst to be ashamed.
Je. 5—7 Thy children have for-
saken me, when 1 had fed them
to the full, they then committed
adultery, and assembled them-
selves by troops in the harlots'
houses.
8 They were as fed horses m the
morning: every one neighed after
his neighbour's wife.
Ho. 4—11 Whoredom and wine
and new wine takeaway tbeheart.
13 Therefore your daughters
shall commit whoredom, and your
spouses shall commit adultery.
14 I will not punish your daugh-
ters when they commit whore-
dom, nor your spouses when they
commit adultery : for themselves
are separated with whores, and
they sacrifice with harlots: there-
fore the people that doth not
understand shall fall.
He. 13—4 Marriage is honourable
in all, and the bed undefiled :
but whoremongers and adulterers
God will judge.
Ro. 1—24 Wherefore God also
gave them up to uncleanness.
through the lusts of their own
hearts, to dishonour their own
bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of
God into a lie, and worshipped
and served the creature more
than the Creator, who is blessed
for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them
up into vile affections: for even
their women did change the natu-
ral use into that which is against
nature :
27 And likewise also the men,
leaving the natural use of the
woman, burned in their lust one
toward another; men with men
working that which is unseemly,
and receiving in themselves that
recompense of their error which
was meet.
440
28 And even as they did not like
to retain God in their knowledge,
God gave them over to a repro-
bate mind, to do those things
which are not convenient;
29 Being tilled with all unright-
eousness, fornication, wickedness,
covetousness, maliciousness; full
of envy, murder, debate, deceit,
malignity; whisperers,
30 Backoiters. haters of God, de-
spiteful, proud, boasters, invent-
ors of evil things, disobedient to
parents,
31 Without understanding, cove-
nant-breakers, without natural af-
fection, inplacable, unmerciful:
32 Who, knowing the judgment
of God, that they which commit
such things are worthy of death.
THE HAUGHTY DAUGHTERS
OF ZION.
Is.3— leMoreovertheLoRDsaith,
Because the daughters of Zionare
haughty, and walk with stretched
forth necks and wanton eyes,
walking and mincing as they" go.
and mailing a tinkling with their
feet:
17 Therefore the Lord will smite
with a scab the crown of the head
of the daughters of Zion, and tlie
Lord will discover their secret
parts.
18 In that day the Lord will
take away the bravery of their
twinkling ornaments about their
feet, and their cauls, and their
round tires like the moon.
If) The chains, and the bracelets,
and the mufflers,
20 The bonnets, and the orna-
ments of the legs, and the head-
bands, and the tablets, and the
earrings,
21 The rings, and nose jewels.
22 The changeable suits of ap-
parel, and the mantels, and the
wimples, and the crispuig pins,
23 The glasses, and the tine linen,
and the noods, and the vails.
24 And it shall come to pass, that
instead of sweet smell there shall
be stink ; and instead of a girdle
a rent; and instead of well set
hair baldness; and instead of a
stomacher a girding of sackcloth ;
and burning in.stead of beauty.
25 Thy men shall fall bv the
sword, and thy mighty in the war.
26 And her gates shall lament
and mourn; and she being deso-
late shall sit upon the ground.
RESURRECTION OF DRY
BONES.
Eze. 37—1 The hand of the Lord
was upon me, and carried me out
in the Spirit of the Lord, and set
me down in the midst of the valley
which was full of bones,
2 And caused me to pass by them
round about: and, behold, there
were very many in the open val-
ley: and, lo, they were very drv.
3 And he said unto me. Son" of
man, can these bones live? And
1 answered, O Lord God, thou
kno'west.
4 Again he said unto me. Proph-
esy upon these bones, and sav un-
to them. O ye dry bones, hear the
word of the Lord.
5 Behold, I will cause breath to
enter into you, and ye shall live:
6 And I will lay sinews upon
you, and will bring up flesh upon
you, and cover you with skin, and
put breath in you, and ve shall
live: and ye shall know that 1 am
the Lord.
7 So I prophesied as I was com-
manded: and as I prophesied,
there was a noise, and behold a
shaking, and the bones came to-
gether, bone to his bone.
8 And wlien I beheld, lo, the sin-
ews and the flesh came up upon
them, and the skin covered them
above: but there was no breath in
them.
9 Then said he unto me. Proph-
esy unto the wind, and say to the
wind, Thus saith the Lord God;
Come from the four winds. O
breath, and breathe upon these
slain, that they may live.
10 So I prophesied as he com-
manded me, and the breath came
into them, and they lived, and
stood up upon their feet, an ex-
ceeding great army.
11 Then he said unto me. Son of
man, these bones are the whole
house of Israel : behold, thev sav.
Our bones are dried, and our hope
IS lost : we are cut off for our parts.
l2Therefore say unto them, Thus
saith the Lord God; Behold, O
my people, I will open your graves,
and cause you to come up out of
your graves, and bring you into
the land of Israel.
14 And shall put mv Spirit in
you, and ye shall live, ana I shall
place you in your own land : then
shall ye know that I the Lord
have spoken it, and performed it.

MASTER, SLAVE, SERVANT.
BONDMEN. BONDWOMEN.
ETC.
The Bible does not tell us any-
thing about the beginning of
slavery, or how or when it be-
came an established institution,
unless we accept the story of
Noah cursing his own son Ham ;
and it is claimed that his deed
was so dark, and that the curse
was so terrible, that it caused him
to change color, and from him
sprang the negro race, and they
becamethe first slaves (Ge. 9. 20-25.
p. 188). And why should millions
of people from that day to this
have suffered as slaves for the
fault of one man? I suppose it
will be much nearer the truth to
sav that slavery began in a very,
very early day. just as soon as self-
ish, strong-minded man found
out that he could control and use
to his own advantage his weaker
brother, and it made no difference
to him whether he was white or
black, a blood relation or a strang-
er; and according to the Bible
slavery is to continue to the end
of the world (Re. 6. 15. p. 531).
The first mention of aslave-owner
was Abraham, the man who was
called by God to be the father of
his chosen people (Ge. 12. 13. 15.
and 17. p. 148, 149). And he owned
three hundred and eighteen
slaves: this was about four hun-
dred years after that terrible curse
fell upon Ham (Ge. 14. 14, p. 404.)
Slavery is also a divine institu-
tution, according to the Bible.
(Tod himself gave Moses all the
laws in regard buying and sell-
ing slaves, their treatment, etc.,
beginning with the ten command-
ments (Ex. 20. p. 46 ; and Ex. 21
Le. 2.5. De. 15, etc., following). All
the prominent and rich men, and
in fact any one who was able,
owned slaves during Bible days,
including the priest and the great
apostle Paul. Christ himself
never condemned slavery, and his
apostles upheld it to the full ex-
tent of the laws, and gave instruc-
tion as to how they were to be
treated, etc.; and it is a well
known fact that slavery would be
in existence to-day on our own
soil, and all over the world, were
it only profitable. The lack of
jH'otit and not the sympathy of
man caused the freedom of the
slaves in our own country; and
may it ever be thus.

drawers of water. De. 29. 11, Jos.
9. 27, p. 325; Ge. 17. 12-23, p. 52: Is.

Lu. 12. 17. 19, p. 445. 447, 510.
Jo.seph sold as a slave in Egypt
by the Lord's decree (Ge. 37 and 45.
4-8, p. 346, 352).
Onesimus, Paul's runaway slave,
Philemon, 1. 10-19, called by the
Lord to be slaves (l Co. 7. 20-24,
p. 50).
Ex. 21—1 Now these are the
judgments which thou shalt set
before them.
2 If thou buy a Hebrew servant.
six years he shall serve: and in
the seventh he shall go out free
for nothing.
3 If lie came in by himself, he
sliall go out by himself: if he
were mamed, then his wife shall
go out with him.
4 If his master have given him
a wife, and .she have borne him
sons or daughters; the wife and
her children shall be her master's,
and he shall go out by himself.
5 And if the servant shall
plainly say, I love my master, my
wife, and my children; I will not
go out free : , , .
6 Then his master shall bring
him unto the judges ; he shall also
bring him to the door, or unto the
door post; and his master shall
bore his ear through with an awl ;
and he shall serve liim for ever.
7 And if a man sell his daiigh-
ter to be a maidservant, she shall
not go out as the menservants
do.
8 If she please not her master,
who hath oetrothed her to hini-
,self. then shall he let her be re-
deemed : to sell her unto a strange
nation he shall have no power,
seeing he hath dealt deceitfully
with her. , , , ,
9 And if he have betrothed her
unto his .son. he shall deal with
her after the manner of daugh-
ters.

Ee. 25— 39 And if thv brothet
that dwelleth by thee be waxen
poor, and be sold mito thee: thou
shah uot compel him to serve as
a bondservant:
40 But as a hired servant, aud
as a sojourner, he shall l^ with
thee, and shall serve thee unto
the ve;vr of jubilee:
41 And then shall he depart from
thee, both he and his children
with him. and shall return luito
liLs own family, and unto the iH>s-
sessiou of his fathers shall he re-
turn.
42 For they are my servants.
which I brought forth out of the
land of Egypt: they shall not be
sold as bondmen.
43 Thou shall uot rule over him
with rigour: but shalt fear thy
God.
44 Both thy bondmen, aud thy
boudmaids, whicli thou shaft

46 Aud ye shall take them as an
inheritance for yotu- children

possession: they shall be your
Wuduieu forever: but over vour
brethren the children of Israel, ye
si\all not role one over another

47 And if a sojourner or stran-
ger wax rich by thee, and thv

55 For mito me the children of
Israel are servants: they are mv
servants whom I brought forth
out of the land of Egvpt: I am

Je. 2—14 % Is Israel a servant? is
he a homebom slave? whv is he
spoiled?
443
De. 15—12 And if tliy brother, a
Hebrew mau, of a Hebrew wo-
man, be sold unto thee, and serve
thee six yeai-s; then in the sev-
enth year thou Shalt let him go
free from thee.
13 And when thou sendest him
out free from thee, thou shalt not
let him go away empty:
14 Thou shalt funiish him liber-
ally out of thy tlock, and out of
thy tioor, and out of thy wine-
press: of that wherewith the
Lord thy God hath blessed thee
thou shalt give unto him.
1.5 And thou shalt remember
that thou wast a bondman in the
land of Egj^pt, and the Lord thy
God redeemed thee: therefoi-e I
command thee this thing to day.
16 And it shall be, if he say unto
thee, I will not go away from
tliee : because he loveth thee and
thine liouse, because he is well
with thee ;
17 Then thou shalt take an awl,
and thrust it through his ear unto
the door, and he shall be thy serv-
ant for ever. And also unto thy
maidservant thou shalt do like-
wise.
18 It shall not seem hard unto
thee, when thou sendest him
away free from thee; for he hath
been worth a double hired servant
to thee, in serving thee six vears:
and the Lord tliy God shall ble.ss
thee in all that thou doest.
De. 23—1.5 Thou shalt not deliver
unto his master the servant which
is escaped from his master unto
thee:
16 He shall dwell with thee,
even among you, in that place
which he shall choose in one of
thy gates, where it liketh him
best: thou shalt not oppress him.
Je. 34—8 This is the word that
came unto Jeremiah from tlie
Lord, after that the king Zede-
kiah had made a covenant wit li
all the people which were at Jeru-
salem, to proclaim liberty unto
them ;
9 That every man should let his
manservant, and erery man his
maidservant, being a Hebrew or
a Hebrewess, go free; that none
should serve himself of them, to
wit, of a Jew his brother.
10 Now when all the princes, and
all the people, which had entered
into the covenant, heard that ev-
ery one should let his mansexvant,
and every one his maid.servant,
go free, that none should serve
themselves of them any more;
then they obeyed, and let them
go.
11 But afterwards they turned,
and caused the servants and the
handmaids, whom they had let
go free, to return, and brought
them into subjection for servants
and for handmaids.
17 Therefore thus saith the
Lord; Ye have not hearkened
unto me, in proclaiming liberty,
every one to his brother, and every
man to his neighbour: behold, I
proclaim a liberty for you, .saith
the Lord, to the sword, to the pes-
tilence, and to the famine; and I
will make you to be removed into
all the kingdoms of the earth.
18 And I will give the men that
have transgressed my covenant,
which have not performed the
words of the covenant which they
had made before me, when they
out the calf in twain, and passed
between the parts thereof,
19 The princes of Judali, and the
princesor Jei-usalem, the eiumchs,
and the priests, and all the people
of the land, which passed between
the parts of the calf ;
20 1 will even give them into the
hand of their enemies,and into the
hand of tliem that, seek their life:
and their dead bodies .shall be for
meat unto the fowls of the heav-
en, and to the beasts of the earth.
21 And Zedekiah king of Judah
and his princes will I give into the
hand of their enemies, and into
the hand of them that seek their
life, and into tlie hand of the
king of Babylon's army, which
are gone up from you.
22 Behold, I will command, saith
the Lord, and cause them to re-
turn to this city; and they shall
tight against it, and take it, and
burn it with lire: and 1 will make
the cities of Judah a desolation
without an inhabitant. See 2 Ki.
25, p. 34.
Jo. 3—6 The children also of Ju-
dah and the children of Jerusa-
lem have ye sold unto the Gre-
cians, that ye might remove them
far from their border.
7 Behold, 1 will raise them out
of the place whither ye have sold
them, and will return your re-
compense upon your own bead :
444
8 And I -will sell your sons and
your daughters into the hand of
the children of Jiidah, and they
shall sell them to the Sabeans, to
a people far off: Jot the Lord
hath spoken it.

Ep. &—5 Servants, be obedient
to tliem that are your masters ac-
cording to the flesh, with fear
and trembling, in singleness of
your heart, as unto Christ;
6 Not with eyeservice, as mem-
pleasers; but as the servants of
Christ, doing the will of God
from the heart;
7 With good will doing service,
as to the Lord, and not to men :
8 Knowing that whatsoever
good thing any man doeth, the
same shall he receive of the Lord,
whether he bo bond or free.
9 And, ye masters, do the same
things unto them forbearing
tlu-eatening: knowing that your
Master also is in heaven: neither
is there respect of persons with
him.
Col. 3—22 Servants, obey in all
things your masters according to
the flesh : not with eyeservice, as
menpleasers; but in singleness of
heart, fearing God :
23 And whatsoever ye do. do it
heartily, as to the Lord, and not
unto men:
24 Knowing that of the Lord ye
shall receive the reward of the in-
heritance: for ye serve the Lord
Christ.
Col. 4—1 Masters, give tmto your
servants that which is just and
equal ; knowing that ye also have
a Master in heaven.
1 Ti. G— 1 Let as many servants
as are under the yoke count their
own masters worthy of all hon-
our, that the name of God and
his doctrine be not blasphemed
2 And they that have believing
masters, let them not despise
them, because they are brethren :
but rather do them service, be-
cause they are faithful and Vie-
loved, partakers of the benefit.
These things teach and ©short.
3 If any man teach otherwise,
and consent not to wholesome
words, even the words of our Lord
Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine
which is according to goodliness;
4 He is proud, knowing nothing,
but doting about questions and
strifes of words, whereof cometh
envy, strife, railings, evil surmis-
ings.
Tit. 2—9 Exhort servants to be
obedient unto their own masters,
and to please them well in all
things; not answering again;
10 Not purloining, but shewing
all good fidelity; that they may
adorn the doctrine of God.
1 Pe. 2—18 Servants, be subject
to your masters with all fear ; not
only to the good and gentle, but
also to the fro ward.
19 For this is thankworthv, if a
man for conscience toward God
endure grief, suffering wrong-
fully.
20 For what glory is it, if, when
ye be buffeted for your faults, ye
shall take it patiently? but "if,
when ye do well, and suffer for it.
ye take it patiently, this is ac-
ceptable with God.
21 For even hereunto were ye
called: because Christ also suf-
fered for us, leaving us an ex-
ample, that ye should follow his
steps:

THE UNMERCIFUL SER-
VANT.
Mat. 18—23 Therefore is the
kingdom of heaven likened unto
a certain king, which would take
account of his servants.
24 And when he had begun to
reckon, one was brought unto
him, which owed him ten thou-
sand talents. ■, v, , *.
25 But forasmuch as he had not
to pay, his lord commanded him
to be sold, and his wife, and chil-
dren, and all that he had, and
payment to be made.
26 The servant therefore fell
down, and worshipped hmi, say-
ing. Lord, have patience with me,
and I will pay thee all.
27 Then the lord of that servant
was moved with compassion, and
forgave him the debt.
28 But the same servant went
out, and found one of his fellow
servants, which owed him a hun-
dred pence : and he laid hands on
him, and took him by the throat,
saying. Pay me that thou owest.
29 And his fellow servant tell
down at his feet, and besought
him, saying. Have patience witn
me. and I will pay thee all.
30 And he would not: but went
and cast him into prison.
31 So when his fellow servants
saw what was done, they were
very sorry, and came and told un-
to their lord all that was done.
32 Then his lord, after that he
had called him, said unto him, O
thou wicked servant, I forgave
thee all that debt, because thou
desiredst me: , . ,
33 Shouldest not thou also have
had compassion on thy fellow ser-
vant, even as I had pity on thee .^
34 \nd his lord was wroth, and
delivered him to the tormentors,
till le should pay all that was due.
35 So 'ikewise shall myheavenly
Father do also unto you it ye
from vour hearts forgive not every
1 one his brother their trespasses.
446
1 Co. 7—20 Let every man abide
in thegamecalling wherein he was
called.
21 Art thoii 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: likewise also he that is
called, being free, is Christ's serv-
ant.
23 Ye are bought with a price;
be not ye the servants of men.
De. 24—14 Thou shalt not oppress
a hired servant that is poor and
needy, whether he be of thy breth-
ren, or of thy strangers that are
in thy land within thy gates.
15 At his day thoii shalt give
him his hire, neither shall the sun
go down vrpon it: for he is poor,
and setteth his heart upon it: lest
he cry against thee unto the Lord,
and it be sin unto thee.
THE UNPROFITABLE SER-
VANT.
Lu. IV— 7 But which of you, hav-
ing a servant ploughmg or feed-
ing cattle, will say unto him by
and by, when he is come from the
Meld, Go and .sit down to meat?
8 And will ni)t rather say. Make
ready wherewith I may sup, and
gird thyself, and serve me, till 1
have eaten and drunken; and
afterward thou shalt eat and
drink?
9Doth he thank that servant be-
cause he did the things that were
commanded him? I ti"<>w not.
10 So likewi.se ye, when ye shall
have done all those things whicli
are commanded you, say. We are
unprotitable servants: we have
done that which was oiu- duty.
Servants be ready at a knock to
open to the Lord when he cometh.
See also Mat. 24. 42-51, p. 488.
Lu. 12—35 Let your loins be
girded, and your lights burning;
36 And ye yourselves like unto
men that wait for then lord, when
he will return from the wedding;
that, when he cometh and knock-
eth, they may open unto him im-
mediately.
37 Blessed are those servants,
whom the lord when he cometh
shall find watching: verily I say
unto you, that he shall gird him-
self, and make them to sit down
to meat, and will come forth and
serve them.
38 And if he shall come in the
secoiul watch, or come in the third
watch, and find them so, blessed
are those servants.
39 And this know, that if the
goodman of the house had known
what hour the thief wtmld come,
he would have watched, and not
have suffered his house to be bro-
ken through.
40 Be ye therefore ready also:
for the Son of man cometh at an
hour when ye think not.
42 And the Ltud said. Who then
is that faithful and wi.se steward,
whom his lord shall make ruler
over his household.
43 Blessed is that servant, whom
his lord when he cometh shall
tind so doing.
44 Of a ti-uth I say unto you,
that he will make him ruler over
all that he hath.
45 But and if that servant say
in his heai't, Mv lord delayeth his
comuig; and shall begin to beat
the menservants and nuiideus,
and to eat and drink, and to be
drunken:
46 The lord of that servant will
come in a day when he looketh not
for him, and at an hour when he is
not aware, and will cut him in
sunder, and will appoint him his
portion with the unbelievers.
47 And that servant, which knew
his lord's will, and prepared not
himself, neither did according to
his will, shall be beatenwith many
stripes.
48 But he that knew not, and did
commit things worthy of stripes,
shall be beaten with few stripes.
For unto whomsoever much is
given, of him shall be much re-
quired.
THE T-WO DEBTORS.
Lu. 7 — il There was a certain
creditor which had two debtors:
the one owed live hundred pence,
and the other fifty.
42 And when they had nothing
to pay, he fi'ankly forgave them
botli. Tell me therefore, which
of them will love him most?
43 Simon answered and said, 1
suppose that he, to whom he for-
¥ave most. And he said unto him,
hou hast rightly judged.
447
PARABLE OF THE TALENTS.
Mat. 2rr—u For the kingdom of
heaven is as a man travelling into
a far country, who called his own
servants, and delivered unto them
his goods.
15 And unto one he gave five
talents, to another two, and to
another one; to every man ac-
cording to his several ability : and
straightway took his journey.
16 Then he that had received
the five talents went and traded
with the same, and made them
other five talents.
17 And likewise he that had
received two, he also gained other
two.
18 But he that had received one
went and digged in the earth,
and hid his lord's money.
19 After a long time the lord of
those servants cometh, and reck-
oneth with them.
20 And so he that had received
five talents came and brought
other five talents, saying, Lord,
thou deliveredst unto me five
talents: behold, I have gained
beside them five talents more.
21 His lord said unto him. Well
done, thou good and faithful serv-
ant: thou has been faithful over
a few things, I will make thee
ruler over many things: enter
thou into tlie joy of thy lord.
22 He also that had received
two talents came and said, Lord,
thou deliveredst unto me two
talents: behold, I have gained
two other talents beside them.
23 His lord said unto him, Well
done, good and faithful servant ;
thou has been faithful over a few
things, I will make thee ruler over
many things: enter thou into the
joy of thy lord.
21 Then he which had received
the one talent came and said.
Lord, I knew thee that thou art a
hard man, reaping where thou
hast not sown, and gathering
where thou hast not strewed :
25 And I was afraid, and went
and hid thy talent in the earth :
lo, there thou hast that is thine.
2G His lord answered and .said
unto him. Thou wicked and sloth-
ful servant, thou knewest that I
reap where 1 sowed not, and gath-
er where I have not strewed:
27 Thou oughtest therefore to
have put my money to the ex-
changers, and then at my coming
I should have received mine own
with usury.
28 Take therefore the talent
from him, and give it ixnto him
which hath ten talents.
29 For unto every one that hath
shall be given, and he shall have
abundance: but from him that
hath not shall be taken away even
that which he hath.
30 And cast ye the unprofitable
servant into outer darkness: there
.shall be weeping and gnashing of
teeth.
THE UNJUST STEWARD.
Lu. 16—1 And he said also unto
his disciples. There was a certain
rich man, which had a steward :
and the same was accused unto
him that he had wasted his goods.
2 And he called him, and said
unto him. How is it that I hear
this of thee? give an account of
thy stewardship; for thou mayest
be no longer steward.
3 Then the steward said within
himself. What shall 1 do? for my
lord taketh away from me the
steward.ship: I cannot dig; to beg
1 am ashamed.
i I am resolved what to do, that,
when I am put out of the steward-
shiiJ, they may receive me into
their houses.
5 So he called every one of his
lord's debtors unto him, and said
unto the first. How much owest
thfiu unto my lord?
G And he said, A hundred meas-
ures of oil. And he said unto him.
Take thy bill, and sit down quick-
ly, and write fifty.
7 Then said he to another. And
how much owest thou? And he
said, A hundred measures of
wheat. And he said unto hiin.
Take thy bill, and write four-
score.
8 And the lord commended the
unjust steward, because he had
done wisely: for the children of
this world are in their generation
wiser than the children of light.
9 And I say unto you. Make to
your.selves friends of the mammon
of unrighteousness ; that, when ye
fail, tliey may receive you into
everlasting habitations.
in He that is faithful in that
which is least is faithful also in
much: and he that is unjust in
the least is unjust also in much.
448
11 If therefore ye have not been
faithful in the uurighteoub mam-
mon, who will commit to your
trust the true riches?
12 And if ye have not been faith-
ful in that which is another
man's, who shall give you that
which is your own? p. 445.
THE LABOURERS IN THE
VINEYARD.
Mat. 20—1 For the kingdom of
heaven is like unto a man that is
a householder, which went out
early in the morning to hire la-
bourers into his vineyard.
2 And when he had agreed with
the labomers for a jiemiy a day,
his sent them into his vineyard.
3 And he went oixt about the
third horn-, and saw others stand-
ing idle in the marketplace,
4 And said unto them; Go ye
also into the vineyard, and what-
soever is right 1 will give you.
And they went theii- way.
5 Again he went out about the
sixth and ninth horn-, and did like-
wise.
6 And about the eleventh hour he
went out, and found others stand-
ing idle, and saithuntothem, Why
stand ye here all the day idle?
7 They say unto him, Because
no man hath hii-ed us. He saith
unto them, Go ye also into the
vineyard ; and whatsoever is right,
that shall ye receive.
8 So when even was come, the
lord of the vineyard saith unto his
steward. Call the labourers, and
give them then- hire, beginning
from the last unto the first.
9 And when they came that were
hired about the eleventh hour,
they received every man a peiniy.
10 But when the hrst came, they
supposed that they should have
received more ; and they likewise
received every man a penny.
n And when they had received
it, they murmured against the
goodman of the house,
12 Saying, These last have
wrought but one hoiu'. and thou
liast made them equal unto us,
which have borne the burden and
heat of the day.
13 But he answered one of them,
and said, Friend, 1 do thee no
wrong ; didst thou not agree with
me for a penny?
15 Is it not lawful for me to do
what I will with mine own? Is
thine eye evil, because I am good?
16 So the last shall be tirst, and
the first last: for many be called,
but few chosen.
PARABLE OF THE SOWER
AND THE TARES.
Mat. 13—3 And he spake many
things in parables, saying. Behold,
a sower went forth to sow ;
4 And when hesowed, some seeds
fell by the way side, and the fowls
came and devoured them up:
5 Some fell upon stony places,
where they had not much earth:
and forthwith they sprung up, be-
cause they had no deepness of
earth:
6 And when the sun was up, they
were scorched ; and because they
had no root, they withered away.
7 And some fell among thorns;
and the thorns sprung up, and
choked them:
8 But other fell intogood ground,
and brought forth fi-uit, some a
hundredfold,somesixtyfold,some
thirtyfold.
18 Hear ye therefore the para-
ble of the sower.
19 When any one heareth the
word of the kingdom, and under-
standeth it not, then cometh the
wicked one, and catcheth away
that which was sown in his heart.
This is he which received seed by
the way side.
20 But he that received the seed
into stony places, the same is he
that heareth the word, and anon
with joy receiveth it ;
21 Yet he hath not root in him-
self, but dureth for a while: for
when tribulation or persecution
ariseth because of the word, by
and by he is offended.
22 He also that received seed
among the thorns is he that hear-
eth the word ; and the care of this
world, and the deceitfulness of
riches, choke the word, and he be-
cometh unfruitful.
23 But he that received seed into
the good ground is he that heareth
the word, and understandeth it:
which also beareth fruit, and
bringeth forth, some a hundred-
fold, some sixty, some thirty.
24 Another parable put he forth
unto them, saying. The kingdom
of heaven is likened unto a man
whichsowed good seed in his tield :
449
25 But while men slept, his ene-
my came and sowed tares among
the wheat, and went liis way.
20 But when the blade was
sprung up, and brought forth
fruit, then appeared the tares also.
27 So the servants of the house-
holder came and said unto him.
Sir, didst not thou sow good seed
in thy tield? from whence then
hath it tares?
28 He said unto them. An enemy
hath done this. The servants said
unto him. Wilt thou then that we
go and gather them vip?
29 But he said. Nay; lest while
ye gather up the tares, ye root up
also the wheat with them.
30 Let both grow together until
the harvest: and in the time of
harvest 1 will say to the reapers.
Gather ye together first the tares,
and bind them in bundles to burn
them: but gather the wheat into
my barn.
36 Then Jesus sent the multi-
tude away, and went into the
house: and his disciplescame un-
to him, saying. Declare unto us
the parable of the tares of the
tield.
37 He answered and said unto
them, He that soweth the good
seed is the Son of man ;
38 The tield is the world; the
food .seed are the childi-en o* the
ingdom; but the tares are the
children of the wicked one ;
39 The enemy that sowed them
is the devil; the harvest is the
end of the world ; and the reapers
are the angels.
40 As therefore the tares are
gathered and burned in the fire;
so shall it be in the end of this
world.
41 The Son of man shall send
forth his angels, and they shall
gather out of his kingdom all
things that offend, and them
which do iniquity;
42 And shall cast them into a
furnace of tire: there shall be
wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43 Then shall the righteous
shine forth as the sun in the king-
dom of their Father. ^
THE SEED GROWING SE-
CRETLY.
Mar. 4—26 And he said. So is the
kmgdom of God, as if a mas
should cast seed into the groiind ;
.27 Ajid should sleep, and rise
night and day, and the seed
should spring and grow up, he
knoweth not how.
28 For the earth bringeth forth
fruit of herself; first the blade,
then the ear, after that the full
corn in the ear.
29 But when the fruit is brought
forth, he putteth in the sickle,
because the harvest is come.
THE GOOD SAMARITAN.
Lu. 10—25 And, behold, a certain
lawyer stood up, and tempted
him, saying. Master, what shall I
do to inherit eternal life?
26 He said unto him, What is
written in the law?
27 And he answering said, Thoir
Shalt love the Lord thy God with
all thy heart, and with all thy
soul, and with all thy strength,
and with all thy mind ; and thy
neighbour as thyself. See Le. 19.
18, De. 6. 5, p. 49.
28 And he said unto him. Thou
hast answered right : this do, and
thou shalt live.
29 But he, willing to justify him-
self, said unto Jesus, And who is
my neighbour?
30 And Jesus answering said, A
certain man went down from Je-
rusalem to Jericho, and fell among
thieves, which stripped him of his
raiment, and wovmded him, and
departed, leaving him half dead.
31 And by chance there came
down a certain priest that way;
and when he saw him, he passed
by on the other side.
32 And likewise a Levite, when
he was at the place, came and
looked on him, and passed by on
the other side.
33 But a certain Samaritan, as
he journeyed, came where he was ;
and when he saw him, he had
compassion on him,
34 And went to him, and bound
up his wounds, pouring in oil and
wine, and set him on his own
beast, and brought him to an inn,
and took care of him.
35 And on the morrow when he
departed, he took out two pence,
and gave them to the host, and
said unto him. Take care of him:
and whatsoever thou spendest
more, when I come again, I will
repay thee.
36 Which now of these three,
thinkest thou, wasneigh hour unto
him that fell among the thieves ?
450
37 And he said. He that shewed
mercy ou him. Then said Jesus
unto him, Go, and do thou like-
wise.
"When thou art bidden to a
wedding sit not down in tlie high-
est room." "When you make a
feast, call the poor, the lame, and
the blind."
Lu. 14—7 And he put forth a
parable to those which were bid-
den, when he marked how they
chose out the chief rooms: saying
unto them,
8 When thou art bidden of any
man to a wedding, sit not down
in the highest room; lest a more
honourable man than thou be
bidden of him;
9 And he that bade thee and him
come and say to thee. Give this
man place : and thou begin with
shame to take the lowest room.
10 But when thou art bidden, go
and sit down in the lowest room ;
that when he that bade thee com-
eth, he may say unto thee. Friend,
go up higher: then shalt thou
nave worship in the presence of
them that sit at meat with thee.
12 Then said he also to him that
bade him. When thou makest a
dinner or a supper, call not thy
friends, nor thy brethren, neither
thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neigh-
bours; lest they also bid thee
again, and a recompense be made
thee.
13 But when thou makest a
feast, call the poor, the maimed,
the lame, the blind :
14 And thou shalt be blessed:
for they cannot recompense thee:
for thou shalt be recompensed at
the resurrection of the lust.
15 And when one of them that
sat at meat with him heard these
things, he said unto him. Blessed
is he that shall eat bread in the
kingdom of God.
THE GREAT SUPPER.
Lu. 14—16 Then said he unto
him, A certain man made a great
supper, and bade many:
17 And sent his servant at sup-
per time to say to them that were
bidden. Come; for all things are
now ready.
18 And they all with one con-
sent began to make excuse. The
first said unto him,l have bouglit
a piece of ground, and I must
needs go and see it : I pray thee
have me excused.
19 And another said, I have
bought five yoke of oxen, and I
go to prove them: 1 pray thee
have me excused.
20 And another said. 1 have
maiTied a wife, and therefore I
cannot come.
21 So that servant came, and
shewed his lord tliese things.
Then the master of the house
being angry said to his servant.
Go out quickly into the streets
and lanes of the city, and bring in
hither the poor, and the maimed,
and the halt, and the blind.
22 And the servant said. Lord,
it is done as thou hast com-
manded, and yet there is room.
23 And the lord said unto the
servant. Go out into the high-
ways and hedges, and compel
them to come in, that my hoiise
may be filled.
24 For I say unto you, That none
of those men which were bidden
shall taste of my supper.
The maiTiage of the king's son.
"The Wedding Garment."
Mat. 22—1 Jesus answered them
again by parables, and said,
2 The kingdom of heaven is
like mito a certain king, which
made a marriage for his son,
3 And sent forth his servants to
call them that were bidden to the
wedding: and they would not
come.
4 Again, he sent forth other
servants, saying. Tell them which
are biddeii. Behold, I have pre-
pared my dinner: my oxen and
my fallings are killed, and all
things are ready: come unto the
marriage.
5 But they made light of it, and
went their ways, one to his farm,
another to his merchandise:
6 And the remnant took his
servants, and entreated them
spitefully, and slew them.
7 But when the king heard
thereof, he was wroth: and he
sent forth his armies, and de-
stroyed those murderers, and
burned up their city.
8 Then saith he to his servants.
The wedding is ready, but they
which were bidden were not wor-
thy.
9 Go ye therefore into the high-
wavs. and as many as ye shall
find, bid tg the marriage.
451
10 So tliose servants went out
into the highways, and gathered
together all asmanyastheytound,
both bad and good : and the wed-
ding was furnished with guests.
11 And when the king came in
to see the guests, he saw there a
man which had not on a wedding
garment:
12 And he saith unto him,
Friend, how earnest thou in hith-
er not having a weddinggarmeut?
And he was speechless.
13 Then said the king to the serv-
ants. Bind him hand and toot, and
take him away, and cast him into
outer darkness; there shall be
weeping and gnashing of teeth.
14 For many are called, but tew
are chosen.
HEALING OF THE CENTU-
RION'S SERVANT.
Lu. 7—2 And a certain centu-
rion's servant, who was dear unto
him, was sick, and ready to die.
3 And when he heard of Jesus,
he sent unto him the elders of the
Jews, beseeching him that he
would come and heal his ser-
vant. , ^ ^
4 And when they came to Jesus,
they besought him instantly, say-
ing. That he was worthy for whom
he should do this:
5 For he loveth our nation, and
he hath built us a synagogue.
6 Then Jesus went with them.
And when he was now not far
from the house, the centurion
sent friends to him, saying unto
him. Lord, trouble not thyselt;
for T am not worthy that thou
shouldest enter under my roof:
7 Wherefore neither thought I
myself worthy to come unto thee :
but say in a word, and my servant
shall be healed.
8 For I also am a man set under
authority, havmg under me sol-
diers, and I say unto one. Go, and
he goeth ; and to another. Come,
and he cometh: and to my serv-
ant. Do this, and he doeth it.
9 \Vhen Jesusheard these things,
he marvelled at him, and turned
him about, and said unto the peo-
ple that followed him, I say unto
you, I have not found so great
faith, no, not in Israel.
10 And they that were sent, re-
turning to the house, found the
servant whole that had been sick.
HEALING OF I'-WO BLIND
MEN.
Mat. 20—30 And, behold, two
blind men sitting by the wayside,
when thev heard that Jesus passed
bv, cried but, saying. Have mercy
on us, O Lord, thou Son of David.
31 And the multitude rebuked
them, because they should hold
their peace. , ^.,, ,
32 And Jesus stood still, and
called them, and said. What will
ve that I shall do unto you?
" 33 They say unto him. Lord,
that our eyes may be opened.
34 So Jesus had compassion on
them, and touched their eyes:. and
immediately their eyes received
sight, and they followed him.
Healing of the paralytic man,
the man with the palsy. ' Arise,
and take up thy bed, and walk.
Mar. 2—3 And they come unto
him, bringing one sick of the
palsy, which was borne ot tour.
4 And when they could not come
nigh unto him for the press, they
uncovered the roof where he was:
and when they had broken it up.
they let down the bed wherein
the sick of the palsy lay. .
5 When Jesus saw their faith, he
said unto the sick of the palsy.
Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.
6 But there were certain of the
scribes sitting there, and reason-
ing in their hearts,
7 Why doth this man thus speak
blasphemies? who can forgive sins
but God only?
8 And immediately, when Jesus
perceived in his spirit that they
so reasoned within themselves,
he said unto them. Why reason
ye these things in your hearts?
9 Whether it is easier to say
to the sick of the palsy. Thy sms
be forgiven thee ; or to say. Arise,
and take up thy bed, and walk?
10 But that ye may know that
the Son of man hath power on
earth to forgive sins, (he saith to
the sick of the palsy,) .
11 I sav unto thee. Arise, and
take up thy bed, and go thy way
into thine house.
12 And immediately he arose,
took up the bed, and went forth
before them all; insomuch that
they were all amazed, and glori-
fied God, saying, We never saw
it on this fashion.
452
HEALING OF A DEAF AND
DUMB MAN.
Healing a dumb man possessed
of a devil.
Mar. 7—32 And they bring unto
him one that was deaf, and had
an impediment in his speech; and
they beseech him to put his hand
upon him.
33 And he took him aside from
the multitude, and put his fingers
into Ins ears, and he spit, and
touched his tongue;
34 And looking up to heaven, he
sighed, and saitli unto him, Eph-
phatha, that is. Be opened.
35 And straightway his ears
were opened, and the string of
his tongue was loosed, and he
spake plain.
36 And he charged them that
they should tell no man: but the
more he charged them, so much
the more a great deal they pub-
lished it ;
37 And were beyond measure
astonished, saying, He hath done
all things well: he maketh both
the deaf to hear, and the dumb
to speak.
Mat. 9—32 As they went out,
behold, they brought to him a
dumb man possessed with a devil.
33 And when the devil was cast
out, the dumb spake: and the
multitudes marvelled, saying, It
was never so seen in Israel.
34 But the Pharisees said. He
casteth out devils through the
prince of the devils.
35 And Jesus went about all the
cities and villages, teaching in
their synagogues, and preaching
the gospel of the kingdom, and
healing every sickness and every
disease among the people.
STILLING OF THE TEMPEST.
Second stilling of the tempest.
"Jesus went unto them walking
on the sea."
Mar. 4—36 And when they had
sent away the multitude, they
took him even as he was in the
ship. And there were also with
him other little ships.
37 And there arose a great storm
of wind, and the waves beat into
the ship, so that it was now full.
38 And he was iu the hinder
part of the ship, asleep on a pil-
low: and they awake him, and
say unto him. Master, carest thou
not that we perish?
39 And he arose, and rebuked
the wind, and said unto the sea,
Peace, be still. And the wind
ceased, and there was a great
calm.
40 And he said unto them, Why
are ye so fearful? how is it that
ye have no faith?
41 And they feared exceedingly,
and said one to another. What
manner of man is this, that even
the wind and the sea obey him?
INIat. 14—22 And straightway
Jesus constrained his disciples to
get into a ship, and to go before
him unto the other side, while he
sent the multitudes away.
23 And when he had sent the
multitudes away, he went up into
a momitain apart to pray: and
when the evening was come, he
was there alone.
24 But the ship was now in the
midst of the sea, tossed with
waves: for the wind was contrary.
25 And ui the fourth watch of
the night Jesus went unto them,
walking on the sea.
26 And when the disciples saw
him walking on the sea, they
were troubled, .saying. It isaspirit ;
and they cried out for fear.
27 But straightway Jesus spake
unto them, saying. Be of good
cheer; it is 1 ; be not afraid.
28 And Peter answered him and
said. Lord, if it be thou, bid me
come unto thee on the water.
29 And he said. Come. And
when Peter was come down out
of the ship, he walked on the
water, to go to Jesus.
30 But when he saw the wind
boisterous, he was afraid ; and be-
ginning to sink, he cried, saying.
Lord, save me.
31 And immediately Jesus
stretched forth his hand, and
caught him, and said unto him,
O thou of little faith, wherefore
didst thou doubt?
32 And when they were come
into the ship, the wind ceased.
33 Then they that were in the
ship came and worshipped him,
saying. Of a tmth thou art the
Son of God.
453
HEALING OF THE NOBLE-
MAN'S SON.
Jno. 4—46 So Jesvis came again
into Cana of Galilee, where he
made the water wine. And there
was a certain nobleman, whose
son was sick at Capernaiim.
47 When he heard that Jesus
was come out of Judea into Gali-
lee, he went unto him, and be-
sought him that he would come
down, and heal his sou : for he was
at the point of death.
48 Then said Jesus unto him.
Except ye see signs and wonders,
ve will not believe.
49 The nobleman saith unto him.
Sir, come down ere my child die.
50 Jesus saith unto him. Go thy
way; thy son liveth. And the
man believed the woi'd that Jesus
had spoken unto him, and he
went his way.
51 And as he was now going
down, his servants met him, and
told him, saving. Thy sou liveth,
52 Then inquired he of them the
hour when he began to amend.
And they said unto him, Yester-
day at the seventh hour the fever
left him.
53 So the father knew that it
was at the same hour, in the which
Jesus said unto him. Thy son liv-
eth: and himself believed, and
his whole house.
54 This is again the second mir-
acle that Jesus did, when he was
come out of Judea into Galilee.
HEALING OF THE INFIRM
MAN.
The angel at the pool of Be-
thesda. Rise, take up thy bed
and walk."
Jno. 5—1 After this there was a
feast of the Jews; and Jesus went
lip to Jerusalem.
2 Now there is at Jerusalem by
the sheep market a pool, which is
called in the Hebrew tongue Be-
thesda, having five porches.
3 In these lay a great multitude
of impotent folk, of blind, halt,
withered, waiting for the moving
of the water.
4 For an angel went down at a
certain season into the pool, and
troubled the water: whosoever
then first after the troubling of
the water stepped in was made
whole of whatsoever disease he
had.
5 And a certain man was there, .
which had an intirmity thirty and
eight years. , . ,.
6 When Jesus saw him he, ana
knew that he had been now a long
time in that case, he saith unto
him, Wilt thou be made whole?
7 The impotent man answered
him, Sir, 1 have no man, when the
water is troubled, to put me into
the pool: but while I am com-
ing, another steppeth down before
me.
8 Jesus saith unto him. Rise,
take up thy bed, and walk.
9 And immediately the man
was made whole, and took up his
bed, and walked : and on the same
day was the sabbath.
10 11 The Jews therefore said un-
to him that was cured. It is the
sabbath day : it is not lawful for
thee to carry thy bed.
11 He answered them. He that
made me whole, the same said
unto me. Take up thy bed, and
walk.
12 Then asked they him. What
man is tlitit which said unto thee.
Take up thy bed, and walk?
13 And he that was healed wist
not who it was: for Jesus had con-
veyed himself away, a multitude
being in that place.
14 Afterward Jesus findeth him
in the temple, and said unto him.
Behold, thou art made whole : sin
no more, lest a worse thing come
unto thee.
15 The man departed, and told
the Jews that it was Jesus, which
had made him whole.
16 And therefore did the Jews
persecute Jesus, and sought to
slay him, because he had done
these things on the sabbath day.
THE MIRACULOUS DRAUGHT
OF FISHES.
Lu. 5—4 Now when he had left
speaking, he said mito Simon,
Launch out into the deep, and let
down your nets for a draught.
5 And Simon answering said
unto him. Master, we have toiled
all the night, and have taken
nothing : nevertheless at thy word
I will let down the net.
6 And when they had this done,
they inclosed a great multitude of
tishes: and their net brake.
7 And they beckoned unto their
partners, which were in the other
ship, that they should come and
454
help them. And they came, and
iilled both the ships, so that they
began to sink.
8 When Simon Peter saw it. he
fell down at Jesus' knees, saying,
Depart from me; for I am a sin-
ful man, O Lord.
9 For he was astonished, and all
that were with him, at the draught
of the iishes which they had
taken :
10 And so was also James, and
John, the sous of Zebedee, which
were partners with Simon. And
Jesus said unto Simon. Fear not ;
from henceforth thou shalt catch
men.
11 And when they had brought
their ships to land, they for.sook
all, and followed him.
Jesus healed the multitudes of
lame, blind, dumb, and sick peo-
ple.
Mat. 15—30 And great multi-
tudes came unto Jesus, having
with them those that were lame,
blind, dumb, maimed, and many
others, and cast them down at Je-
sus' feet; and he healed them:
31 Insomuch that the multitude
wondered, and they gloritied the
God of Israel.
The two women with wings, not
angels. See also Re. 12. 14, p. 62,
and angels p. 7.
Zee. 5—5 Then the angel that
talked with me went forth, and
said unto me. Lift up now thine
eyes, and see what is this that
goeth forth.
6 And I said, "What is it? And
he said. This is an ephah that
goeth forth. He said moreover,
This is their resemblance through
all the earth.
7 And, behold, there was lifted
up a talent of lead: and this is a
M'omau that sitteth in the midst
of the ephah.
8 And liesaid,Thisiswickedness.
And he cast it into the midst of
the ephah ; and he cast the weight
of lead upon the mouth thereof.
9 Then lifted I up mhie eyes, and
looked, and, behold, there came
out two women, and the wind was
in their wings; for they had
wings like the wings of a stork:
and they lifted up the ephah be-
tween the earth and the heaven.
10 Then said I to the angel that
talked with me. Whither do these
bear the ephah?
11 And he said unto me. To build
it a house in the land of Shinar:
and it shall be established, and
set there upon her own base. p. 50.
THE ISSUE OF BLOOD.
Mar. 5—25 And a certain wom-an,
which had an issue of blood
twelve years,
26 And had suffered many things
of many physicians, and had spent
all that she had, and was nothing
bettered, but rather grew worse,
27 When she had heard of Jesus,
came in the press behind, and
touched his garment.
28 For she said. If I may touch
but his clothes, I shall be whole.
29 And straightway the fountain
of her blood was dried up; and
she felt in her body that she was
healed of that plague.
.30 And Jesus.immediately know-
ing in himself thatvirtue had gone
out of him, turned and said. Who
touched my clothes?
31 And his disciples said unto
him. Thou seest the multitude
thronging thee, and sayest thou,
Who touched me?
32 And he looked round about
tosee her that had done thisthing.
33 But the woman fearing and
trembling, knowing what was
done in her, came and fell down
before him, and told him all the
truth.
34 And he said unto her. Daugh-
ter, thy faith hath made thee
whole ; go in peace.
Healing of Simon's mother-in-
law.
Lu. 4 — 38 And he arose out of the
synagogue, and entered into Si-
mon's house. And Simon's wife's
mother was taken with a great
fever; and they besought him for
her.
39 And he stood over her, and
rebuked the fever; and it left
her: and immediately she arose
and ministered unto them.
Healing of the woman with the
spirit of mtirmity.
Lu. 13—11 And, behold, there was
a woman which had a spirit of in-
firmity eighteen years, and could
m no wi.se lift up herself.
12 And, when Jesus saw her, he
called her to him, and said unto
her. Woman, thou art loosed from
I thine inhnnity.
455
13 And he laid his hands ou her:
iind immediately she was made
straight, and glorified God.
14 And the ruler of the s^na-
fogue answered with indignation,
ecause that Jesus had healed ou
the sabhath day, and said unto
the people. There are six days in
which men ought to work: in
them therefore come and be heal-
ed, and not on the sabbath day.
15 The Lord then answered him,
and said. Thou hypocrite, dotli
not each one of you ou the sab-
bath loose his ox or his ass from
the stall, and lead him away to
watering?
16 And ought not this woman,
being a daughter of Abraham,
whom Satan hath bound, lo, these
eighteen years, be loosed from this
bond on the sabbath day?
17 And when he had said these
things, all his adversaries were
ashamed: and all the people re-
joiced for all the glorious things
that were done by him.
MARTHA AND MARY.
Lu. 10—38 Now it came to pass,
as they went, that he entered into
a certain village: and a certain
woman named Martha received
him into her house.
39 And she had a sister called
Mary, which also sat at Jesus'
feet, and heard his word.
40 But Martha was cumbered
about much serving, and came to
him, and said. Lord, dost thoii not
care that my sister hath left me
to serve alone? bid her therefore
that she help me.
41 And Jesus answered and said
unto her, Martha, Martha, thou
art careful and troubled about
many thuigs:
42 But one thing is needful ;
and Mary hath chosen that good
part, which shall not be taken
away from her.
THE LOST PIECE OF MONEY.
Lu. 15—8 Either what woman
having ten pieces of silver, if slie
lose one piece, doth not light a
candle, and sweep the house, and
seek diligently till she find it?
9 And when she hath found it,
she calleth her friends and her
neighbours together, saying, Re-
joice with nie ; for I have found
the piece which I had lost.
10 Likewise, I say unto you,
there is joy in the presence of the
angels of God over one sinner that
repenteth.
Jesus revealeth himself unto a
woman of Samaria at Jacob's
well.
Jno. 4—5 Then cometh he to a
city of Samaria, which is called
Sychar, near to the parcel of
ground that Jacob gave to his sou
Joseph.
6 Now Jacob's well was there.
Jesus therefore, being wearied
with his jouniey, sat thus on the
well: aud it was about the sixth
hour.
7 There cometh a woman of Sa-
maria to draw water: Jesus saith
unto her. Give nie to drink.
8 (For his disciples were gone
away unto the city to buy meat.)
_ 9 Then saith the woman of Sama-
ria unto him, How is it that thou,
being a Jew, askest drink of me,
which am a woman of Samaria?
for the Jews have no dealuigs with
the Samaritans.
10 Jesus answered and said unto
her. If thou knewest the gift of
God, and who it is that saith to
thee. Give me to drink; thou
wouldest have asked of him, and
he would have given thee living
water.
11 The woman saith unto him.
Sir, thou hast nothing to draw
with, and the wellisdfeep: from
whence then hast thou that living
water?
12 Art thou greater than our
father Jacob, wliich gave us the
well, and drank thereof himself,
and his children, and his cattle?
13 Jesus answered and said unto
her. Whosoever drinketh of this
water shall thirst again:
14 But whosover drmketh of the
water that I shall give liim shall
never thirst ; but the water that I
shall give him shall be in him a
well of water springing up iuto
everlasting life.
15 The woman saith unto him.
Sir, give me this water, that I thirst
not, neither come hither to draw.
16 Jesus saith unto her. Go, call
thy husband, and come hither.
17 The woman answered and
said, I have no husband. Jesus
said unto her. Thou hast well
said, I have no husband.
18 For thou hast had five hus-
bands; aiul he whom thou now
456
hast is not thy husband: in that
saidst thou truly.
19 The woman saith unto him.
Sir, I perceive that thou art a
prophet.
20 Our fathers worshipped in
this mountain ; and ye say, that
in Jerusalem is the place where
men ought to worship.
21 Jesus saith, Woman, believe
me, the hour cometh, when ve
shall neither in this mountain,
nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the
Father.
22 Ye worship ye know not what :
we know that we worship; for
salvation is of the Jews.
23 But the hour cometh, and now
is, when the true worshippers
shall worship the Father in spirit
and in truth: for the Father seek-
eth such to worship him.
24 God is a Spirit: and thev that
worship him must worship him in
spirit and in truth,
2.5 The woman saith unto him, I
know that Messiascometli, which
is called Christ: when he is come,
he will tell us all things.
26 Jesus saith unto her, I that
speak unto thee am he.
27 And upon this came his di.s-
ciples, and marvelled that he talk-
ed with the woman: yet no man
said. What seekest thou? or, Wliy
talkest thou-with her?
28 The woman then left her wa-
terpot, and went her way into the
city, and saith to the men,
29 Come, see a man, which told
me all things that ever I did: is
not this the Christ?
30 Then they went out of the
city, and came unto him.
31 In the mean M'hile his disci-
ples prayed him, saying, Master,
eat.
32 But he said unto them, I have
meat to eat that ye know not of.
33 Therefore said the disciples
one to another, Hath anv man
brought him aught to eat?
34 Jesus saith unto tliem. My
meat is to do the will of him that
sent me, and to tinish his work.
39 And many of the Samaritans
of that city believed on him for
the saying of the woman, which
te.stified, He told me all that ever
I did.
40 So when the Samaritans were
come unto him, thev besought
him that he would tarry with
them: and he abode there two
days.
41 And many more believed be-
cause of his own word :
42 And said unto the woman,
Aow we believe, not because of
tliy saying: for we have heard
Inm om-selves, and know that this
IS indeed the Christ, the Saviour
of the world.
RAISING OF JAIRUS' DAUGH-
TER.
Mar. 5—22 And, behold, there
cometh one of the rulers of the
synagogue, Jairus by name; and
when he saw him, he fell at his
feet,
23 And besought Imn greatlv.
saynig. My little daughter lieth
at the point of death : I pray thee,
come and lay thy hands on her,
that she may be healed ; and .she
shall live.
24 And Jesiis went with him :
and much people followed him.
35 While he yet spake, there
came from the ruler of the syna-
gogue's house certain which said.
Thy daughter is dead ; why troub-
lest thou the Master anv further?
36 As soon as Jesus heard the
word that was .spoken, he saith
unto the ruler of the synagogue.
Be not afraid, only believe.
37 And he suffered no man to fol-
low him, save Peter, and James,
and John the brother of James.
38 And he cometh to the house
of the ruler of the synagogue, and
seeth the tumult, and them that
wept and wailed greatly.
39 And when he was come in,
he saith unto them. Why make
ye this ado, and weep? the dam-
sel is not dead, biit sleepeth.
40 And they laughed him to
.scorn. But when he had put them
all out, he taketh the father and
the mother of the damsel, and
them that were with him, and
entereth in where the damsel was.
41 And he took the damsel by
the hand, and .said unto her, Tal-
itha cumi; which is, being inter-
preted. Damsel, (I say unto thee,)
arise.
42 And straightway the damsel
arose, and walked ; for she was of
the age of twelve years. And
they were astonished with a great
astonishment.
43 And he charged them straitly
that no man should know it:
and commanded that something
should be given her to eat.

RAISING OF THE WIDOW'S
SON.
_Lu. 7—11 And Jesus went into a
city called Nain; and many of his
disciples went with him, and
much people.
12 Now when he came nigh to
the gate of the city, behold, there
was a dead man carried out, the
only son of his mother, and she
was a widow: and much people of
the city was witli her.
13 And when the Lord saw her,
he had compassion on her, and
said unto her. Weep not.
14 And he came and touched the
bier: and they that bare him
stood still. And he said, Young
man, I say unto thee. Arise.
15 And he that was dead sat up,
and began to speak. And he de-
livered him to his mother.
RAISING OF LAZARUS.
Jno. 11—1 Now a certain man
was sick, named Lazarus, of Beth-
any, the town of Mary and her
sister Martha.
2 (It was that Mary which
anointed the Lord with ointment,
and wiped his feet with her hair,
whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
3 Therefore his sisters sent unto
him, saying. Lord, behold, he
whom thou lovest is sick.
4 When Jesus heard that, he
said, This sickness is not unto
death, but for the glory of God,
that the Son of God might be
glorified thereby.
.5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and
her sister, and Lazarus.
6 When he had heard that he
was sick, he abode two days .still
in the same place where he was.
11 And after that he saith. Our
friend Lazarus sleepeth ; but I go,
that 1 may awake him out of
sleep.
12 Then said his disciples. Lord,
if he sleep, he shall do well.
13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his
death: but they thought that he
had spoken of taking of rest in
sleep.
14 Then said Jesus unto them
plainly, Lazarus is dead.
15 And I am glad for your sakes
that I was not there, to the intent
ye may believe; nevertheless let
us go unto him.
20 Then Martha, as soon as she
heard that Jesus was coining.
went and met him: but Mary sat
still in the house.
21 Then said Martha unto Jesus.
Lord, if thou hadst been here, my
brother had not died.
22 But I know, that even now,
whatsoever thou wilt ask of God,
God will give it thee.
23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy
brother shall rise again.
24 Martha saith unto him, I
know that he shall rise again in
the resurrection at the last day.
25 Jesus said unto her, I am the
resurrection, and the life: he that
believeth in me, though he were
dead, yet shall he live:
26 And whosoever liveth and
believeth in me shall never die.
Believest thou this?
27 She saith unto him, Yea,
Lord: I believe that thou art the
Chri.st, the Son of God, which,
should come into the world.
28 And when she had so said,
she went her way, and called
Mary her sister secretly, saying,
1 he Master is come, and calleth
for thee.
32 Then when Mary was come
where Jesus was. and saw him,
she tell down at his feet, saying
unto him. Lord, if thou hadst
been here, my brother had not
died.
33 When Jesus therefore saw
her weeping, and the Jews also
weeping which came with her, he
groaned in the spirit, and was
troubled,
. .34 And said. Where have ye laid
him? They say imto him. Lord,
come and see.
35 Jesus wept.
3(3 Then said the Jews, Behold
how he loved him!
. 38 Jesus therefore again groan-
ing m himself cometh to the
grave. It was a cave, and a stone
lay upon it.
39 Jesus said. Take ye away the
stone. Martha, the sister of him
that was dead, saith unto him,
Lord, by this time he stinketh:
for he hath been dead four days.
40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I
not unto thee, that, if thou would-
est believe, thou shouldest see the
glory of God?
41 Then they took away the
stone from the place where the
dead was laid. And Jesus lifted
up his eyes, and said. Father, I
thank thee that thou hast heard
me.
458
42 And I knew that tliou liear-
est me always: but because of
the people which stand by I said
it, that they may believe tliat
thou hast sent me.
43 And when he thus had
spoken, he cried with a loud
voice, Lazarus, come forth.
44 And he that was dead came
forth, bound hand and foot with
graveclothes; and his face was
bound about with a napkin. Jesus
saith unto them. Loose him, and
let him go.
45 Then many of the Jews which
came to Mary, and had seen the
things which Jesus did, believed
on him.
i THE TRUE LIGHT.
Jno. 1—1 In the begmning was
the Word, and the Word was with
God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the begin-
ning with God.
3 All things were made by him ;
and without him was not any
thing made that was made.
4 In him was life ; and the life
was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in dark-
ness: and the darkness compre-
hended it not.
6 There was a man sent from
God, whose name was John.
7 The same came for a witness,
to bear witness of the Light, that
all men through him might be-
lieve.
8 He was not that Light, but was
sent to bear witnessof that Light.
9 That was the true Light,
which lighteth every man that
Cometh into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the
world was made by him, and the
world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and
his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him,
to them gave he power to become
the sons of God, even to them
that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of
blood, nor of the will of the Hesh,
nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word was made flesh,
and dwelt among us, (and we be-
lield his glory, the glory as of the
only begotten of the Father.)

that sit in darkness and in the
shadow of death, to guide our
feet into the way of peace.

sent forth to preach, etc. See also

The seventy disciples set forth,
Lu. 10. 1-20.
Mat. 10—1 And when Jesus had
called unto him his twelve disci-
ples, he gave them power against
unclean spirits, to cast them out,
and to heal all manner of sick-
ness and all manner of disease.
2 Now the names of the twelve
apostles are these; The first, Si-
mon, who is called Peter, and
Andrew his brother: James the
son of Zebedee, and John his
brother :
3 Philip, and Bartholomew;
Thomas, and Matthew the pub-
lican ; James the son of Alpheus,
and Lebbeus, whose surname was
Thaddeus;
4 Simon the Canaanite, and Ju-
das Iscariot, who also betrayed
him.
5 These twelve Jesus sent forth,
and commanded them, saying, Go
not into the way of the Gentiles,
and into any city of the Samari-
tans enter ye not:
6 But go rather to the lost sheep
of the house of Israel.
7 And as ye go, preach, saying.
The kingdom of heaven is at
hand.
8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lep-
ers, raise the dead, cast out devils :
freely ye have received, freely
give.
9 Provide neither gold, nor sil-
ver, nor brass in your purses ;
10 Nor scrip for your journey,
neither two coats, neither shoes,
nor yet staves: for the workman
is worthy of his meat.
11 And into whatsoever city or
town ye shall enter, inquire who
in it is worthy ; and there abide
till ye go thence.
12 And when ye come into a
house, salute it,
13 And if the house be worthy,
let your peace come upon it: but
if it be not worthy, let your peace
return to you.
14 And whosoever shall not re-
ceive you, nor hear your word.s,
when ye depart out of that house
or city, shake off the dust of your
feet.

THE APOSTLES' KINGDOM
AND THRONES.
Mat. 19—16 Aud, behold, one
came aud said unto him, Good
Master, what good thing shall I do,
that I may have eternal life?
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 into life,
keep the commandments.
18 He saith unto him, Which?
Jesus said. Thou shalt do no mur-
der, Thou shalt not commit adul-
tery. Thou shalt not steal, Thou
shalt not bear false witness,
19 Honour thy father aud thy
mother: and, Thou shalt love thy
neighbour as thyself.
20 The young main saith unto
him. All these things have I kept
from my youth up: what lack I
yet?
21 Jesus said unto him. If thou
wilt be perfect, go and sell that
thou hast, aud give to the poor,
aud thou shalt have treasure in
heaven: and come aud follow me.
22 But when the young man
heard that saying, he went away
sorrowful: for he had great pos-
sessions.
23 Then said Jesus unto his
disciples. Verily I say unto you,
Thatarich man shall hardly enter
into the kingdom of heaven.
24 Aud again I say unto you, It
IS easier for a camel to go through
the eye of a needle, than for a rich
man to enter into the kingdom of
God.
25 When his disciples heard it,
they were exceedingly amazed,
saying, who then can be saved?
26 But Jesus beheld them, and
said unto them. With men this
is impossible; but with God all
things are possible.
27 Then answered Peter and
said unto him. Behold, we have
forsaken all, and followed thee;
what shall we have therefore?
28. Aud Jesus said unto them,
Verily I say unto you. That ye
which have followed me. in the
regeneration when the Son of
man shall sit in the throne of his
glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve
thrones, judging the twelve tribes
of Israel.
29 And every one that hath for-
saken houses, or brethren, or sis-
ters, or father, or mother, or wife,
or children, or lands, for my
name's sake, shall receive a hun-
dredfold, and shall inherit ever-
lasting life.
30 But many that are first shall
be last ; and the last shall be first.
Strife among the apostles.
iheir kmgdom and thrones.
Lu. 22—24 And there was also a
strife among them, which of them
should be accoimted the great-
est.
25 Aud he said unto them. The
kings of the Gentiles exercise
lordship over them : and they that
exercise authority upou them are
called benefactors.
26 But ye shall not be so: but he
that is greater among you, let him
be as the younger; and he that is
chief, as he that doth serve.
27 For whether is greater, he
that sitteth at meat, or he that
serveth? is not he that sitteth at
meat? but I am among you as he
that serveth.
. 28 Ye are they which have con-
tinued withme in my temptations
29 And I appoint unto you a
kingdom, as my Father hath ap-
pointed unto me ;
30 That ye may eat and drink
at my table in my kingdom, and
sit on thrones judging the twelve
tribes of Israel.
Zebedee's children, James and
John (two of the apostles), make
their request. See also Mark lo.
35.
Mat. 20—20 Then came to him
the mother of Zebedee's children
with her sons, worshipping him.
aud desiring a certain thing of
him.
21 And he said unto her. What
wilt thou? She saith unto him.
Grant that these my two sons
may sit, the one on thy right
hand, and the other on the left,
in thy kingdom.
22 But Jesus answered and said,
Ye know not what ye ask. Are
ye able to drink of the cup that I
shall drink of, and to be baptized
with the baptism that I am bap-
tized with? They say unto him,
We are able.
461
23 And he sailh unto them, Ye
shall drink indeed of my cup. and
he baptized with the baptism that
I am baptized with: but to sit on
my right hand, and on my left, is
not mine to give, but it shall be
given to them for whom it is pre-
pared of my Father.
24 And when the ten heard it,
they were moved with indigna-
tion against the two brethren.
25 But Jesus called them unto
him, and said, Ye know that the
princes of the Gentiles exercise
dominion over them, and they
that are great exercise authority
upon them.
26 But it shall not be so among
you: but whosoever will be great,
let him be your minister ;
27 And whosoever will be chief
among you, let him be your serv-
ant:
28 Even as the Son of man came
not to be ministered unto, but to
minister, and to give his life a
ransom for many.
FATE OF THE APOSTLES.
Thomas was run through the
body with a lance at Caromandel.
m the East Indies.
Matthew is supposed to have
suffered martyrdom, or was slain
with the sword at the city of
Ethiopia. , ^, ,
Judas, Jude, Lebbeus, or Thad-
deus was shot to death with
arrows. . ,
James, the brother or cousin of
Jesus, was thrown from a pinnacle
or wing of the temple, and then
beaten to death with a fuller's
club.
Simon Zelotes, the Canaanite,
was crucified in Persia.
The Bible tells us nothing about
the death of the apostles, al-
though they were all dead at
least two hundred years before
the New Testament was compiled,
except James, thebrother of John,
and Judas Iscariot. James was put
to death by command oi Herod,
see Ac. 12. 1, 2, p. 527 ; and Judas,
according to the book of Mat-
thew, hanged himself, see Mat.
27. 5, p. 515. Yet in the books of Acts
it is stated tliat "he fell head-
long and biu'st asunder, and that
. all his bowels gushed out in the
field which he had bought with
the money that he received for be-
traying Jesus Christ, see Acts 1.
18, p. 515. As to the fate of the
other apostles it is claimed that
Peter was crucified at Rome.
Andrew was bound to a cross,
whence he preached unto the
people till he expired.
John was put into a caldron of
boiling oil at Rome, and escaped
death. He afterwards died a
natural death atEphesus, in Asia.
Philip was hanged up against a
pillar at Hieropolis.
Bartholomew was flayed alive
by the command of a barbarous
king.
Matthias, the apostle chosen in
place of Judas Iscariot, was first
stoned and then beheaded.
Paul was beheaded at Rome by
the tyrant Nero. .
Luke was hanged upon an olive
tree in Greece.
Mark was dragged through the
streets of Alexandria, in Egypt^
till he expired. <.

Meeting of Jesus and Nathanael.
Jno. 1—43 The day following
Jesus would go forth into Galilee,
and tindeth Philip, and saith unto
him. Follow me.
45 Philip tindeth Nathanael, and
saith unto him. We have found
him, of whom Moses in the law,
and the prophets, did write, Jesus
of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
46 And Nathanael said unto him.
Can there any good thing come
out of Nazareth? Philip saith
unto him, Come and see.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming
to him, and saith of him. Behold
an Israelite indeed, in whom is
no guile!
48 Nathanael saith unto him.
Whence knowest thou me? Jesus
answered and said unto him, Be-
fore that Pliilip called thee, when
thou wast under the tig tree. I saw
thee.
49 Nathanael answered and saith
unto him. Rabbi, thou art the Son
of God ; thou art the King of Is-
rael.
50 Jesus answered and said unto
him. Because I said unto thee, I
saw thee imder the tig tree, believ-
est thou? thou shalt see greater
things than these.

ye shall see heaven open, and the
angels of God ascending and de-
scending upon the Sou of man.
THE WIDOW'S MITE.
Mar. 12—41 And Jesus sat over
against the treasui'y, and heheld
how the people cast money into
the treasury : and many that were
rich cast in much.
42 And there came a certain poor
widow, and she threw in two
mites, which make a farthing.
43 And he called unto him hisdi.s-
ciples, and saith unto them. Verily
I say unto you, That this poor wid-
ow hath cast more in, than all they
which have cast into the treasury :
44 For all they did cast in of
their abundance; but she of her
want did cast in all that she had,
even all her living.
THE RICH MAN AND LAZ-
ARUS.
Lu. 16—19 There was a certain
rich man, which was clothed in
purple and fine linen, and fared
sumptuously every day:
20 And there was a certain beg-
gar named Lazarus, which was
laid at his gate, full of sores,
21 And desiring to be fed with
the crumbs which fell from the
rich man's table: moreover the
dogs came and licked his sores.
22 And it came to pass, that the
beggar died, and was earned by
the angels into Abraham's bosom:
the rich man also died, and was
buried ;
23 And in hell he lifted up his
eyes, being in torments, and seetli
Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in
his bosom.
24 And he cried and said. Father
Abraham, liave mercy on me, and
send Lazarus, that he may dip
the tip of his finger in water, and
cool my tongue; for I am tor-
mented in this flame.
25 But Abraham said. Son, re-
member that thou in thy lifetime
receivedst thy good things, and
likewise Lazarus evil things: but
now he is comforted, and thou art
tormented.
26 And beside all this, between
us and you there is a great gulf
fixed: so that they which would
pass from hence to you cannot ;
neither can they pass to us, that
would come from thence.
27 Then he said, I pray thee
therefore, father, that thou would-
est send him to my father's house:
28 Fori have five brethren ; that
he may testify unto them, lest
they also come into this place of
torment.
29 Abraham saith unto him.
They have Moses and the proph-
ets; let them hear them.
30 And he said. Nay, father Abra-
ham : but if one went unto them
from the dead, they will repent.
31 And he said mito him. If they
hear not Moses and the prophets,
neither will they be persuaded,
-though one rose from the dead.
The rich man and the poor man,
according to James. "Be patient
and swear not, no matter how
much you may be afflicted and
oppressed." "Ye have heard of
the patience of Job," etc. See the
following and Job, p. 381.
Ja. 2—1 My brethren, have not
the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Lord of glory, with respect of
persons.
2 For if there come unto your as-
sembly a man with a gold ring, in
goodly apparel, and there come in
also a poor man in vile raiment ;
3 And ye have respect lo him
that weareth the gay clothing,
and say mito him. Sit thou here
in a good place ; and say to the
poor. Stand thou there, or sit here
mider my footstool :
4 Are ye not then partial in your-
selves, and are become judges of
evil thoughts.
5Hearken, my beloved brethren.
Hath not God chosen the poor of ,
this world rich in faith, and heirs
of the kingdom which he hath
promised to them that love him?
6 But ye have despised the poor.
Do not rich men oppress you, and
draw you before tne judgment
seats?
7 Do not they blaspheme that
worthy name by which ye are
called?
Ja. 5—1 Go to now, ye rich men,
weep and howl for your miseries
that shall come upon you.
2 Your riches are corrupted,
and your garments are moth-
eaten.
3 Your gold and silver is canker-
ed ; and the rvist of them shall be
a witness against you, and shall
463
eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye
have heaped treasure together for
the last days.
4 Behold, the hire of the labour-
ers who have reaped down your
fields, which is of you kept hack
by fraud, crieth: and the cries of
them which have reaped are en-
tered into the ears of the Lord of
Sabbaoth.
.5 Ye have lived in pleasure on
the earth, and been wanton ; ye
have nourished your hearts, as in
a day of slaughter.
6 Ye have condemned and k illed
the just; and he doth not re.sist
you.
7 Be patient therefore, brethren,
unto the coming of the Lord. Be-
hold, the husbandman waiteth for
the precious fruit of the earth,
and hath long patience for it, un-
til he receive the early and latter
rain.
8 Be ye also patient; stablish
your hearts: for the coming of
the Lord draweth nigh.
9 Grudge not one against an-
other, brethren, lest ye be con-
demned: behold, the judge stand-
eth before the door.
10 Take, my brethren, the proph-
ets, who have spoken in the name
of the Lord, for an example of
suffering affliction, and of pa-
tience.
11 Behold, we count them happy
which endure. Ye have heard of
the patience of Job, and have seen
the end of the Lord; that the
Lord is very pitiful, and of tender
mercy.
12 But above all things, my
brethren, swear not, neither by
heaven, neither by the earth, nei-
ther by any other oath: but let
your yea be yea; and your nay,
nay; lest ye fall into condemna-
tion.
WALK IN THE SPIRIT.
Gal. 5—16 This I say then, Walk
in the Spirit, and ye shall not
fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17 For the flesh lusteth against
the Spirit, and the Spirit against
the flesh ; and there are contrary
the one to the other; so that ye
cannot do the things that ye
would.
18 But if ye be led of the Spirit,
ye are not under the law.
19 Now the works of the flesh
are manifest, which are these.
Adultery, fornication, unclean-
uess, lasciviousness,
'20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred,
variance, emulations, wrath,
strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunken-
ness, revellings, and such like: of
the which I tell you before, as I
have also told you in time past,
that they which do such things
shall not inherit the kingdom of
God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is
love, joy, peace, longsuffering,
gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance:
against such there is no law.
24 And they that are Christ's
have crucified the flesh with the
affections and lusts.
25 If we live in the Spirit, let us
also walk in the Spirit.
26 Let us not be desirous of
vainglory, provoking one an*
other, envying one another.

1 line up these great Bible mys-

them as plain as possible for those
who are trying to understand the
destined captivity and return of
the Jews, and the first and second
coming of Christ, and end of the
world.
Captivity of the Jews foretold,
and the cause of their captivitv.
See also Le. 26. 33, p. 162; De. 30. l-
20, V. 166 ; De. 28. 25, 36, p. 163, 161 ;

165; and Is. 1. 1-24, p. 34; Am. 9. 1-
4, p. 107.
2 Ki. 21—10 And the Loed spake
by his prophets, saying,
11 Because Mauasseh king of
Judah hath done wickedly above
all that the Amorites did, which
were before him, and hath made
Judah also to sin with his idols:
12 Therefore thus saith the Lord
God of Israel, Behold, I am bring-
ing such evil upon Jerusalem and
Judah, that whosoever heareth of
it. both his ears shall tingle.
13 And I will stretch over Jeru-
salem the line of Samaria, and
the plummet of the house of
Ahab: and I will wipe Jerusalem
as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it,
and turning it upside down.
14 And I will forsake the rem-
nant of mine inheritance, and de-
liver them into the hand of their
enemies; and they shall become
a prey and a spoil to all their ene-
mies;
15 Because they have done that
which was evil in my sight, and
have provoked me to anger, since
the day their fathers came forth
out of Egypt, even unto this day.
16 Moreover Manasseh shed in-
nocent blood very much, till he
had filled Jerusalem from one end
to another; besides his sin where-
with he made Judah to sin.
Je. 15—1 Then said the Lord
unto me. Though Moses and Sam-
uel stood before me, yet my mind
could not be toward this people:
cast them out of my sight, and let
them go forth.
2 And it shall come to pass, if
they say unto thee. Whither shall
we go forth? then thou shalt tell
them, Thiis saith the Lord ; Such
as are for death, to death; and
such as are for the sword, to the
sword; and such as are for the
famine, to the famine; and such
as are for the captivity, to the
captivity.
3 And 1 will appoint over them
four kinds, saith the Lord: the
sword to slay, and the dogs to tear,
and the fowls of the heaven, and
the beasts of the earth, to devour
and destroy.
4 And I will cause them to be
removed into all kingdoms of the
earth, because of Manasseh the
king of Judah, for that which he
did in Jerusalem.
5 For who shall have pity upon
thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall
bemoan thee? or who shall go
aside to ask how thou doest?
6 Thou hast forsaken me, saith
the Lord, thou art gone back-
ward: therefore will I stretch out
my hand against thee, and destroy
thee ; I am weary with repenting.
Je. 25—1 The word that came to
Jeremiah concerning all the peo-
ble of Judah, in the fourth year of
Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king
of Judah, that was the first year
of Nebuchadrezzar king of Baby-
lon;
2 The which Jeremiah the
prophet spake unto all the people
of Judah. and to all the inhabi-
tants of Jerusalem.
8 Therefore thus saith the Lord
of hosts; Because ye have not
heard my words,
9 Behold, I will send and take
all the families of the north, saith
the Lord, and Nebuchadrezzar
the king of Babylon, my servant,
and will brin^ them against this
land, and against the inhabitants
thereof, and against all the.se na-
tions round about, and will utterly
destroy them, and make them an
astonishment, and a hissing, and
perpetual desolations.
10 Moreover I will take from
them the voice of mirth, and the
voice of gladness, the voice of the
465
bridegroom, and the voice of the
bride, the sound of the millstones,
and the light of the candle.
11 And tliis whole land shall be
a desolation, and an astonish-
ment; and these nations shall
serve the king of Babylon seventy
years. See Je. 29. 10, p. 475.
12 And it shall come to pass,
when seventy years are accom-
plished,!!^^ I will punish the king
of Babylon, and that nation, saith
the Lord, for their iniquity, and
the land of the Chaldeans, and
will make it perpetual desolations.
Je. 32—28 Therefore thus saith
the Lord ; Behold, I will give this
city into the hand of the Chal-
deans, and into the hand of Neb-
uchadrezzar king of Babylon, and
he shall take it:
29 And the Chaldeans, that fight
against the city, shall come and
set fire on this city, and burn it
with the houses, upon whose roofs
they have offered incense unto
Baal, and poured out drink offer-
ings unto other gods, to provoke
me to anger. 2 Ki. 25, ip. 34.
30 For tlie children ot Israel and
the children of Judah have only
done evil before me from their
youth: for the children of Israel
have only provoked me to anger
with the work of their hands,
saith the Lord.
31 For this city hath been to me
as a provocation of mine anger
and of my fury from the day that
tliey built it even unto this day,
that I should remove it from 'be-
fore my face;
32 Because of all the evil of the
children of Israel and of the chil-
dren of Judah, which they have
done to provoke me to anger,
they, their kings, their princes,
their priests, and their prophets,
and the men of Judah, and the
inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Is. 39—5 Then said Isaiah to
Hezekiah, Hear the word of the
Lord of hosts:
6 Behold, the days come, that
all tliat is in thine house, and that
which thy fathers have laid up in
store until this day, shall be car-
ried to Babylon : nothing shall be
left, saith the Lord.
7 And of thy sons that shall is-
sue from thee, which thou shalt
beget, shall they take away; and
they shall be eunuchs in the
palace of the king of Babylon.
Am. 7—10 Amaziah the priest of
Beth-el sent to Jeroboam king of
Israel, saying, Amos hath con-
spired against thee in the midst
of the house of Israel : the land is
not able to bear all his words.
11 For thus Amos saith, Jerobo-
am shall die by the sword, and
Israel shall surely be led away
captive out of their own land.
12 Also Amaziah said unto Amos,
thou seer, go, tiee thee away
into the laud of Judah, and there
eat bread, and prophesy there :
13 But prophesy not again any
more at Beth-el : for it is the king's
chapel, and it is the king's court.
14 Then ansM'ered Amos, and
said to Amaziah, I was no prophet,
neither was I a prophet's son : but
1 was a herdman, and a gatherer
of sycamore fruit:
15 And the Lord took me as I
followed the flock, and the Lord
said unto me. Go, prophesy unto
my people l.srael.
16 Now therefore hear thou the
word of tlie Lord: Thou sayest.
Prophesy not against Israel, and
drop not thy word against the
house of Lsaac.
iTThereforethus saiththe Lord ;
Thv wife shalt be a harlot in the
city, and thy sons and thy daugh-
ters shall fall by the sword, and
thy land shall be divided by line:
and thou shalt die in a polluted
land: and Israel shall surely go
into captivity forth of his land.
Ho. 13—16 Samaria shall become
desolate ; for she hath rebelled a-
gainst her God: they shall fall by
the sword: their infants shall be
dashed in pieces, and their women
with chila shall be ripped up.
CAPTIVITY OF THE JEWS OF
ISRAEL AND JUDAH.
After the death of Solomon the
Jewish nation was divided (the
beginning of their downfall), and
the tribes of Judah and Benjamin
made Rehoboam, son of Solomon,
their king, and he was known as
the king of Judah, and dwelt in
Jerusalem; and the other ten
tribes made Jeroboam, son of
Nebat, their king, and he was
known as the king of Israel, and
dwelt in Shechem. Hence, the
kings of Judah and Israel, see p.
332.
466
2 Ki. 15—29 In the days of Pekali
king of Israel came Tiglath-pi-
leser king of Assyria, and took
Ijou, and Abel-betli-maacliah, and
Janoah, and Kedesli, and Hazor,
and Gileadj and Galilee, all the
land of INapthali, and carried
them captive to Assyria.
2 Ki. 18—9 And it came to pass
in the fourth year of king Heze-
kiah, which was the seventh year
of Hoshea son of Elah king of
Israel, that Shalmaneser king of
Assyria came up against Samaria,
and besieged it.
10 And at the end of three years
they took it: even in the sixth
year of Hezekiah, that is the ninth
j-ear of Hoshea knig of Israel.
11 And the king of Assyria did
carry away Israel unto Assyria,
and put them in Halah and in
Habor by the river of Gozan, and
in the cities of the Medes:
12 Because they obeyed not the
voice of the Lord their God, but
transgressed his covenant, and all
that Moses the servant of the
Lord commanded, and would
not hear them, nor do them. p.
293.
2 Ki. 24—10 At that time the .ser-
vants of Nebuchadnezzar king of
Babylon came up against Jerusa-
lem, and the city was besieged.
12 And Jehoiachin the king of
Judah went out to the king of
Babylon, he, and his mother, and
his servants, and hi« princes, and
Ills officers: and the king of Baby-
lon took him in the eighth year
of his reign.
13 And he carried out thence all
the treasures of the house of the
Lord, and the treasures of the
king's house, and cut in pieces all
the vesselsof gold which Solomon
king of Israel had made in the
temple of the Lord, as the Lord
had said.
14 And he carried away all Je-
rusalem, and all the princes, and
all the mighty men of valour, even
ten thousand captives, and all
the craftsmen and smiths: none
remained, save the poorest sort of
the people of the land.
17 And the king of Babylon made
Mattaniah his father's lirother
king in his stead, and changed
his name to Zedekiah. See 2 Ki,
25, p. 34. You will find another
account of the captivity of the
Jews in 2 Chr. 36 ; Je. 39 and 52.
18 Zedekiah was twenty and one
years old when he began to reign,
and he reigned eleven years in Je-
rusalem.
Return of the Jews fi'om Baby-
lon after their seventy years' so-
jom-n there. The following, Ezr.
2, is the only account given in the
Bible of the number of Jews that
returned to either Jerusalem or
Samaria, of all who were captured,
except Ne. 7. C-73, which is a du-
plicate of Ezr. 2 following.
Ezr. 2—1 Now these are the chil-
dren of the province that went up
out of the captivity, of those
which had been carried away,
whom Nebuchadnezzar the king
of Babylon had carried away mito
Babylon, and came again unto Je-
rusalem and Judah, every one
unto his city;
2 Which came with Zerubbabel :
Jeshua, Nehemiah^ Zeraiah, Reel-
aiah, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mizpar,
Bigvai, Rehum. Baanah. The
number of the men of the people
of Israel:
64 The whole congregation to-
gether was forty and two thou-
sand three hundred and three-
score.
65 Besides their servants and
their maids, of whom there were
seven thousand three hundred
thirty and seven: and there were
among them two hundred singing
nien and singing women.
66 Their horses were seven hun-
dred thirty and six; their mules,
two hundred forty and five ;
67 Their camels, four hundred
thirty and five; their asses, six
thousand seven hundred and
twenty.
68 And some of the chief of the
fathers, when they came to the
house of the Lord which is at
Jerusalem, offered freely for tlie
house of God to set it up in his
place:
69 They gave after their ability
unto the treasure of the work
threescore and one thousand
drams of gold, and five thousand
pounds of silver, and one hundred
priests' garments.
70 So the priests, and the Le-
vites, and some of the people, and
the smgers, and the porters, and
the Nethinim, dwelt m their cit-
ies, and all Israel in their cities.

JUDAH'S BLESSING FROM
HIS FATHER JACOB.
Ge 49—1 And Jacob called unto
his sons, and said. Gather your-
selves together, that I may tell
you that which shall befall you
in the last days.
8 Judah, thou art he whom thy
brethren shall praise: thy hand
shall be in the neck of thine ene-
mies; thy father's children shall
bow down before thee.
9 Judah is a lion's whelp: from
the prey, my son. thou art gone
up: he stooped down, he.coucliecl
as a lion, and as an old lion ; who
shall rouse him up? ,1^^,,.^
10 The sceptre shall not depait
from Judah. nor a lawgiver from
between his feet, until Sluloh
come; and unto him shall the
gathering of the people be.
11 Binding his foal unto the
vine, and his ass's colt unto the
choice vine ; he washed his gar-
ments in wine, and his clothes in
the blood of grapes:
19 His eyes shall be red with
wiiie. and his teeth white with
™Ig^2-l The word that Isaiah the
son of Amoz saw concerning Ju-
dah and Jerusalem.
2 And it shall come to pass in the
last days.that the mountain of the
LoRD's^iouse shall be established
in the top of the momitains. and
shall be exalted above the hills;
and all nations shall flow imto
3 And many people shall go and
say. Come ye, and let us go up to
the mountain of the^ Lord, to the
house of the God of Jacob ; and lie
will teach us of his ways, and we
will walk in his paths: tor out ot
Zionshall go forth the law, and the
word of the Lord from Jerusa-
"^i^And he shall judge among the
nations, and shall rebuke many
people : and they shall beat their
swords into ploughshares, and
their spears into pruuinghooks:
nation shall not .lift up sword
against nation, neither shall they
learn war any more. Jo. 3. 10, p.
72.
Mi 4—1 But in the last days it
shall come to pass, thatthe moimt-
aiu of the house of the Lord shall
be established in the top of the
mountains, and it shall be exalted
above the hills; and people shall
flow unto it. .
2 And many nations shall come,
and say. Come, and let us go up to
the mountains of the Lord, and to
the house of the God of. Jacob;
and he-will teach us of his ways,
and we will walk m his paths,
for the law shall go forth of Zion.
and the word of the Lord from
Jerusalem. , ,, . ,
3 And he shall audge among
many people, and rebiike strong
nations afar off ; and they shall
beat their swords into plough-
shares, and their spears mto prun-
inghooks: nation shall not Im up
a sword agahist nation, neither
shall they learn war any more.
4 But they shall sit every .man
under his vine and under his tig
tree ; and none shall make them
afraid : for the mouth of the Lord
of lu3sts hath spoken it.
5 For all people will walk every
one in the name of his god. and
we will walk in the name of the
Lord our God for ever and ever.
6 In that day, saith the Lord,
will I assemble her that halteth,
and I will gather her that is driv-
en out. and her that I have af-
1 flicted ;
468
7 And I will make her that halt-
ed a remnant, and her that was
cast far off a strong nation: and
the Lord shall reign over them in
mount Zion £rom henceforth, even
for ever. Jno. 12. 34, p. 197.
8 And thou, O tower of the flock,
the strong hold of the daughter
of Zion, unto thee shall it come,
even the first dominion ; the king-
dom shall come to the daughter
of Jerusalem.
9 Now why dost thou cry out
aloud? is there no king in thee?
is thy coun.sellor perished? for
pangs have taken thee as a wo-
man in travail.
10 Be in pain, and labour to
bring forth, O daughter of Zion,
like a woman in travail: for now
Shalt thou go forth out of the city,
and thou shalt dwell in the field,
and thoushalt go even to Babylon ;
there shalt thou be delivered;
there the Lord shall redeem thee
from the hand of thine enemies.
11 Now also many nations are
gathered against thee, that say,
Let her be defiled, and let our
eye look upon Zion.
12 But they know not the
thoughts of the Lord, neither
understand they his counsel: for
he shall gather them as the
sheaves into the floor.
13 Arise and thresh, O daughter
of Zion; for 1 will make thine
horn iron, and I will mnke thv
hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat
in pieces many people: and I will
consecrate their gain unto the
Lord, and their substance unto
the Lord of the whole earth.
Is. 4—1 And in that day seven
women shall take hold of one
man, saying. We will eat our own
' bread, and wear our own apparel ;
only let us be called by thy name,
to take away our reproach.
2 In that day shall the branch of
the Lord be beautiful and glori-
ous, and the fruit of the earth
shall be excellent and comely for
them that are escaped of Israel.
3 And it shall come to pass, that
he that is left in Zion, and he
that remaineth in Jerusalem,
shall be called holy, even every
one that is written among the liv-
ing in Jerusalem :
4 When the Lord shall have
washed away the filth of the
daughters of Zion, and shall have
purged the blood of Jerusalem
from the midst thereof by the
spirit of judgment, and by the
spirit of burning.
5 And the Lord will create upon
every dwellingplace of moiuit
Zion, and upoa her assemblies,
a cloud and smoke by dav, and
the shining of a flaming tire by
night : for upon all the glory shall
be a defence.
C And there shall be a tabernacle
for a shadow in the daytime from
the heat, and for a place of refuge,
and for a covert from storm and
from rain.
Is. 7—10 Moreover the Lord spake
again unto Ahaz, saying,
11 Ask thee a sign of the Lord
thy God; ask it either in the
depth, or in the height above.
12 But Ahaz said, I will not ask,
neither will I tempt the Lord.
13 And he said. Hear ye now, O
house of David ; Is it a small thing
for you to weary men, but will ye
weary my God also?
14 Therefore the Lord himself
shall give you a sign; Behold, a
virgin shall conceive, and bear a
son, and shall call his name Im-
manuel.
15 Butter and honey shall he eat,
that he may know to refuse the
evil, and choose the good.
19 For before the child shall
know to refuse the evil, and
choose the good, the land that
thou abhorrest shall be forsaken
of both her kings.
21 And it shall come to pass in
that day, that a man shall noiuLsh
a young cow and two sheep;
22 And it shall come to pass, for
the abundance of milk that they
shall give, he shall eat butter: for
butter and honey shall everyone
eat that is left in the land.
Is. 9—5 Every battle of the war-
rior is with confused noise, and
garments rolled in blood; but
this shall be with burning and
fuel of fire.
6 For unto lis a child is bom,
unto us a child is given: and the
government shall be upon his
shoulder: and his name shall he
called Wonderful, Counsellor, The
mightj' God, The everlasting Fa-
ther, The Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his govern-
ment and peace there shall be no
end, upon the throne of David,
and upon his kingdom, to order it,
and to establish it with judgment
469
and with justice from henceforth
even for ever. The zeal of the
Lord of hosts will perform this.
Is. 10—20 And it shall come to
pass in that day, that the rem-
nant of Israel, and such as are es-
caped of the house of Jacob, shall
no more again stay upon him that
smote them ; but shall stay upon
the Lord, the Holy One of Israel,
in truth.
21 The remnant shall return,
even the remnant of Jacob, unto
the mighty God.
22 For though thy people Israel
be as the sand of the sea, yet a
remnant of them shall return:
the consumption decreed shall
overtlow with righteousness.
23 For the Lord God of hosts
shall make a consumi)tion, even
determined, in the midst of all
the land.
Is. 11—1 And there shall come
forth a rod out of the stem of
Jesse, and a Branch shall grow
out of his roots:
2 And the Spirit of the Lord
shall rest upon him, the spirit of
wisdom and understanding, the
spirit of counsel and might, the
spirit of knowledge and of the
fear of the Lord-
3 And shall make him of quick
understanding in the fear of the
Lord: and he shall not judge
after the sight of his eyes, neither
reprove after the hearing of his
ears :
4 But with righteousness shall
he judge the poor, and reprove
with equity for the meek of the
earth: and he shall smite the
earth with the rod of his mouth,
and with the breath of his lips
shall he slay the wicked.
5 And righteousness shall be the
girdle of his loins, and faithful-
ness the girdle of his reins.
6 The wolf also shall dwell with
the lamb, and the leopard shall
lie down with the kid; and the
calf and the young lion and the
fatling together; anda little child
shall lead them. Is. 65. 25, p. 78.
7 And the cow and the bear shall
feed; their young ones shall lie
down together: and the lion shall
eat straw like the ox.
8 And the sucking child shall
play on the hole of the asp, and
the weaned child shall put his
Land on the cockatrice' den.
9 They shall not hurt nor de-
stroy in all my holy movmtain: for
the earth shall be full of the
knowledge of the Lord, as the
waters cover the sea.
10 And in that day there shall
be a root of Jesse, which shall
stand for an ensign of the people ;
to it shall the Gentiles seek : and
his rest shall be glorious.
11 And it shall come to pass in
that day, that the Lord shall set
his hand again the second time to
recover the remnant of his people,
which shall be left, from Assyria,
and from Egypt, Pathros, Cush,
Elam, Sliinar, and from Hamath,
and from the islands of the .sea.
12 'And he shall set up an ensign
forthe nations, and shall assemble
the outcasts of Israel, and gather
together the dispersed of Judah
from the four corners of the
earth.
13 The envy also of Ephrann
shall depart, and the adversaries
of Judahshallbe cutoff: Ephraim
shall not envy Judah, and Judah
sliall not vex Ephraim.
14 But they shall fly upon the
shoulders of the Philistines
toward the west ; they shall spoil
them of the east together: they
sliall lay their hand upon Edom
and Moab; and the children of
Amnion shall obey them.
15 And the Lord shall utterly
destroy the tongue of the Egyp-
tian sea: and with his mighty
wind shall he shake his hand over
the river, and shall smite it in the
seven streams, and make men go
over dryshod.
16 And there shall be a highway
for the remnant of his people,
which shall be left, from Assyria ;
like as it was to Israel in the day
that he came up out of the land
of Egypt.
Is. 14—1 For the Lord will have
mercy on Jacob, and "will yet
choose Israel, and set them in their
own land: and the strangers shall
be joined with them, and they
shall cleave to the house of
Jacob.
2 And the people shall take
them, and bring them to their
place: and the house of Israel
shall possess them in the land of
the Lord for servants and hand-
maids: and they shall take them
captives, whose captives they
were: and they shall rule over
their oppressors.
470
3 And it shall come to pass in the
day that the Lord shallgive thee
rest from thy sorrow, and from thy
fear, and from the hard bondage
wherein thou wast niade to serve.
Is. 27—12 And it shall come to
pass in that day, that the Lord
shall heat off from the channel of
the river unto the stream of
Egypt, and ye .shall be gathered
one by one, O ye children of
Israel.
13 And it shall come to pass in
that day, that the great trumpet
shall be blown, and they shall
come which were ready to perish
in the land of Assyria, and the
outcasts in the land of Egypt, and
shall worship the Lord in the
lioly mount at Jerusalem.
Is. 28—5 In that day shall the
Lord of hosts be for a crown of
glory, and for a diadem of beauty,
unto the residence of his people,
6 And for a spirit of judgment
to him that sitteth in judgment,
and for strength to them that
turn tlie battle to the gate.
16 Therefore thus saith the
Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion
for a foundation a stone, a tried
stone, a precious corner stone, a
sure foundation: he that believ-
eth shall not make haste.
17 Judgment also will I lay to
the line, and righteousness to the
plummet: and the hail shall
sweep away the refuge of lies,
and tlie waters shall overflow the
hiding place.
Is. 32—1 Behold, a King shall
reign in righteou.sness, and princes
shall rule in judgment.
18 And my people shall dwell
in a peaceful iiabitation, and in
sure dwellings, and in quiet rest-
ing places.
Is. 3.'j— 1 The wilderness and the
solitai-y place shall be glad for
them; and the desert shall re-
joice, and blossom as the rose.
2 It shall blossom abundantly,
and rejoice even with joy and
singing: the glory of Lebanon
shall be given unto it, the excel-
lency of Carmel and Sharon ; they
shall see the glory f>f the Lord,
and the excellency of our God.
10 And the ransomed of the
Lord shall return, and come to
Zion with songs and everlasting
joy upon their heads: they shaU
obtain joy and gladness, and sor-
row and sighing shall flee away,
p. 319.
Is. 40—1 Comfort ye, comfort ye
my people, saith your God.
2 Speak ye comfortably to Jeru-
salem, and cry unto her, that her
warfare is accomplished, that her
iniquity is pardoned : for she hath
received of the Lord's hand
double for all her sins.
9 H O Zion, that bringest good
tidings, get thee up into the high
mountains; O Jerusalem, that
bringest good tidings, lift up thy
voice witn strength; lift it \\p, be
not afraid; say unto the cities of
Judah, Behold your God!
10 Behold, the Lord God will
come with strong hand, and his
arm shall rule for him: behold,
his reward is with him, and his
work before him.
11 He shall feed his flock like a
shepherd: he shall gather the
lambs with his arm. and carry
them in his bosom, and shall gent-
ly lead those that ai-e with young.
Is. 42—1 Behold my servant,
whom I uphold; mine elect, in
whom my soul delighteth ; I have
put my Spirit upon him: he shall
bring forth judgment to the
Gentiles.
2 He shall not cry, nor lift up,
nor cause his voice to be heard in
the street.
3 A briiised reed shall he not
break, and the smoking flax shall
he not quench: he shall bring
forth judgment unto truth.
4 He shall not fail nor be dis-
couraged, till he have set judg-
ment in the earth : and the isles
shall -wait for his law.
5 Thus saith God the Lord.
he that created the heavens, and
stretched them out; he thatspread
forth the earth, and that which
Cometh out of it; he that givetli
breath unto the people upon it, and
spirit to them that walk therein:
6 I the Lord have called thee in
righteousness, and will hold thine
hand, and will keep thee, and give
thee for a covenant of the people,
for a light of the Gentiles;
7 To open the blind eyes, to
bring out the prisoners from the
pri.son, and them that sit in dark-
ness out of the prison hoiise.
8 I am the Lord; that is my
name: and my glory will I not
give to another.
Behold, the former things, are
come to pass, and new things do
I declare: befoi'e they spring forth
I tell you of them. p. 23.
471
Is. 4i>— 1 Listen, O isles, unto me;
and hearken, ye people, from far;
The Lord hath called me from
the womb ; from the bowelsof my
mother hath he made mention of
my name.
2 And he hath made my mouth
like a sharp sword ; in the shadow
of his hand hath, he hid me, and
made me a polished shaft; in his
quiver hath he hid me;
3 And said unto me, Thou art
my servant, O Israel, m whom 1
will be glorified.
4 Then I said, I have laboured
in vain, I have spent my strength
for nought, and in vain : yet sure-
ly my judgment is with the Lord,
and my work with my God.
5 And now, saith the Lord that
formed me from the womb to be
his servant, to bring Jacob again
to him. Though Israel be not
gathered, yet shall I be glorious
in the eves of the Lord, and my
God shall be my strength.
6 And he said. It is a light thing
that thou shouldst be my servant
to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and
to restore the preserved of Israel :
I will also give thee for a light to
the Gentiles, that thou niayest be
my salvation unto the end of the
earth. , .„
7 Thus saith the Lord, the Re-
deemer of Israel, and his Holy
(^ne, to him whom man despiseth,
to him whom the nation abhor-
reth, to a servant of rulers. Kings
shall see and arise, princes also
shall worship, because of the Lord
that is faithful, and the Holy One
of Israel, and he shall choose
thee.
8 Thus saith the Lord, In an
acceptable time have I heard
thee, and in a day of salvation
have I helped thee: and 1 will
pre.serve thee, and give thee for a
covenant of the people, to estab-
lish the earth, to cause to inherit
the desolate heritages;
9 That thou mayest say to the
))risonei-s. Go forth; to them that
are in darkness. Shew your-
selves. They shall feed in the
ways, and their pastiu'es shall be
in all high places.
10 They shall not hunger nor
thirst: neither shall the heat nor
sun smite them : for he that hath
mercv on them shall lead them,
even by tlie springs of watershall
he guide them.
n And I will make all my
mountains a way, and my high-
ways shall be exalted.
12 Behold, these shall come
from far: and, lo, these from the
north and from the west; and
these from the land of Siuim.
22 Thus saith the Lord God, Be-
hold,! will lift up mine hand to
the Gentiles, and setup my stand-
ard to the people: and they shall
bring thy sons in their arms, and
thy daughters shall be carried up-
on their shoulders.
23 And kings shall be thy nurs-
ing fathers, and their queens thy
nursing mothers: they shall bow
down to thee with their face to-
ward the earth, and lick up the
dust of thy feet; and thou shalt
know that I am the Lord: for
they shall not be ashamed that
wait for me.
24 Shall the prey be taken from
the mighty, or the lawful captive
delivered?
25 But thus saith the Lord,
Even the captives of the mighty
shall be taken away, and the prey
of the terrible shall be delivered:
for I will contend with him that
contendeth witli thee, and I will
save thy children.
26 And I will feed them that
oppress thee with their own flesh ;
and they shall be drunken with
their own blood, as with sweet
wine: and all flesh shall know
that 1 the Lord am thy Saviour
and thy Redeemer, the Mighty
One of Jacob. , ^ , ,
Is. 50—4 The Lord God hath
given me the tongue of the learn-
ed, that I should know how to
speak a word in season to him that
is weary: he wakeneth morning
by moiiiing, he wakeneth mine
ear to hear as the learned.
5 The Lord God hath opened
mine ear, and I was not rebellious,
neither turned away back.
6 I gave my back to the smiters,
and my cheeks to them that
plucked off the hair: I hid not
my face from shame and spit-
7Tor the Lord God will help
me ; therefore shall I not be con-
founded: therefore have I set my
face like a flint, and I know that
I shall not be ashamed.
Is. 51—3 The Lord shall comfort
Zion: hewillcomfort allherwaste
places, and he will make liei-
472
wilderness like Edeu. and her
desert like the garden of the
Lord ; joy and gladness shall be
found therein, thanksgiving, and
the voice of melody.
4 Hearken unto me, my people ;
and give ear unto me, my na-
tion : for a law shall proceed from
me, and I will make my judgment
to rest for a light of the people.
9 Awake, put on strength, O
arm of the Lord; as in the an-
cient days. Art thou not it that
hath cut Rahah, and wounded
,the dragon? [Rahab, a name
given to Egypt.]
10 Art thou not it which hath
dried the sea, the waters of the
great deep; that hath made the
depths of the sea a way for the
ransomed to pass over?
11 Therefore the redeemed of
the Lord shall return, and come
with singing mito Zion ; and ever-
lasting joy shall be upon their
head : they shall obtain gladne-ss
and joy ; and sorrow anoT mourn-
ing shall flee away.
Is. 52—1 Awake, put on thy
strength, O Zion; but on thy
beautiful garments, O Jerusalem,
the holy city : for henceforth there
shall no more come into thee the
imcircumcised and the unclean.
2 Shake thyself from the dust;
arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem:
loose thyself from the bands of
thy neck, Q captive daughter of
Zion.
3 For thus saith the Lord, Ye
have sold yourselves for nought ;
and ye shall be redeemed without
monev.
4 For thus saith the Lord God,
My people went down aforetime
into Egypt to sojourn tliere; and
the Assyrian oppressed them
without cause.
5 Now therefore, what have I
here, saith the Lord, that my
people is taken away for nought?
they that rule over them make
them to howl, saith the Lord;
and my name continually every
day is bla.sphemed.
6 Therefore my people shall
know my name: therefore they
shall know in tliat day that I am
he that doth speak : behold, it is I.
7 How heautiful lapon the moun-
tains are the feet of him that
bringeth good tidings, that pub-
lisheth peace ; that bringeth good
tidings of good, that publisneth
salvation; that saith unto Zion,
Thy God reigneth !
(Na. 1—15 Behold upon the
mountains the feet of him that
bringeth good tidings, that pub-
lisheth i^eace! O Judah, keep thy
solemn feasts, perform thy vows:
for the wicked shall no more pass
through thee ; he is utterly cut off.)
8 Thy watchmen shall lift up
the voice ; with the voice together
shall they sing: for they shall see
eye to eye, when the Lord shall
bring again Zion.
9 Break forth into joy, sing to-
gether, ye waste places of Jeru-
salem: for the Lord hath com-
forted his people, he hath re-
deemed Jerusalem.
10 The Lord hath made bare
his holy arm ui the eyes of all the
nations; and all the ends of the
earth shall see the salvation of
our God.
13 Behold, my servant shall
deal pi-udently, he shall be ex-
alted and extolled, and be ver>-
high. .
u As many were astonied at
thee; his visage was so marred
more than any man, and his form
more than the sons of men :
15 So shall he sprinkle many
nations ; the kings shall shut their
mouths at him: for that which
had not been told them shall they
see; and that which they had not
heard shall they consider.
Is. 53—1 Who hath believed our
report? and to whom is the arm
of the Lord revealed?
2 For he shall grow up before
him as a tender plant, and as a
root out of a dry ground : he hath
no form nor comhness; and when
we shall see him, there is no
beauty that we should desire him.
3 He is despised and rejected of
men; a man of sorrows, and ac-
quainted with grief: and we hid
as it were ovir faces from him ; he
was despised, and we esteemed
him not.
4 Surely he hath home our
griefs, and carried our son-ows:
yet we did esteem him stricken,
smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our
transgressions, he was bmised for
our iniquities: the chastisement
of our peace was upon him ; and
with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone
astray ; we have turned every one
473
to his own way; and the Lord
hath laid on hini the iniquity of
us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was
afflicted, yet he opened not his
mouth: he is hrought as a lamb
to the slaughter, and as a sheep
before her shearers is dumb, so he
openeth not his mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and
from judgment : and who shall de-
clare his generation? for he was
cut ofT out of the land of the
living: for the transgression of
my people was he striclcen,
9 And he made his grave with
the wicked, and with the rich in
his death ; because he had done
no violence, neither was any de-
ceit in liis mouth.
10 Yet it pleased the Lord to
biaiise him ; he hath put him to
grief: when thou shalt make his
soul an offering for sin, he shall
see his seed, he sliall prolong his
days, and the pleasure of the
Lord shall prosper in his hand.
11 He .shall see of the travail of
his soul, and shall be satisfied : by
his knowledge shall my righteous
servant justify many ; for he shall
bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore will 1 divide him a
portion with the great, and he
shall divide the spoil witli the
strong ; because he hath poured out
his soul unto death: and he was
numbered with the transgressors;
and he bare the sin of many, and
made intercession for tlie trans-
gressors.
Is. 55—1 Ho, every one that thirst-
eth, come ye to the waters, and he
that hath no money; come ye,
buy, and eat ; yea, come, buy wine
and milk without money and
without price.
2 Wherefore do ye spend money
for that which is not bread? and
your labour for that which satisti-
eth not? hearken diligently unto
me, and eat ye that which is good,
and let your soul delight itself in
fatness.
3 Incline your ear, and come un-
to me: hear, and your soul shall
live; and I will make an ever-
lasting covenant with you, even
the sure mercies of David.
"1 Behold, I have given him for a
witness to the people, a leader and
commander to the people.
5 Behold, thou shalt call a na-
tion that thou knowest not, and
nations that knew not thee shall
run unto thee, because of the Lord
thy God, and for the Holy One
of Israel; for he hath glorified
thee.
Is. 59—20 And the Redeemer shall
come to Zion, and unto them that
turn from transgression in Jacob,
saith the Lord.
21 This is my covenant with
them, saith the Lord; My Spirit
that is upon thee, and my words
which I have put in thy mouth,
shall not depart out of thy mouth,
nor out of the mouth of thy seed,
nor out of the mouth of thy seed's
seed, saith the Lord, from hence-
forth and for ever. p. 102.
Is. Gl— 1 The Spirit of the Lord
God is vipon me; because the
Lord hath anointed me to preach
good tidings unto the meek : he
hath sent me to bind up the brok-
en-hearted, to proclaim liberty to
the captives, and the opening of
the prison to them that are bound.
Lu. 4. 18, p. 506.
2 To proclaim the acceptable
year of the Lord, and the day of
vengeance of our God; to com-
fort all that mourn;
3 To appoint unto them that
mourn in Zion, to give unto them
beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for
mourningj the garment of praise
for the spirit of heaviness; that
they might be called Trees of
righteousness. The planting of
the Lord, that he might be glori-
fied.
i And they shall build the old
wastes, they shall raise up the
former desolations, and they shall
repair the waste cities, the desola-
tions of many generations.
5 And strangers sliall stand and
feed your flocks, and the sons of
the alien shall be your plough-
men and your vinedressers.
6 But ye shall be named the'
Priests of the Lord: men shall
call you the Ministers of our God:
ye shall eat the riches of the Gen-
tiles, and in their glory shall ye
boast yourselves.
7 For your shame ye shall have
double; and for confusion they
shall rejoice in their portion:
therefore in their land they shall
possess the double: everlasting
joy shall be unto them.
8 For I the Lord love judgment,
I hate robbery for burnt offering;
and I will direct their work in
truth, and 1 will make an ever-
lasting covenant with them.
474
9 And their seed shall be known
among the Gentiles, and their off-
spring among the people: all that
see them shall acknowledge them,
that they are the seed which the
Lord hath blessed.
Is. 62—1 For Ziou's sake will I not
hold my peace, and for Jerusa-
lem's sake I will not rest, until the
righteousness thereof go forth as
brightness, and the salvation
thereof as a lamp that burneth.
2 And the Gentiles shall see thy
righteousness, and all kings thy
glory: and thou shalt be called by
a new name, which the mouth of
the Lord shall name.
3 Thou Shalt also be a crown of
glory in the hand of the Lord,
and a royal diadem in the hand of
thy God.
4 Thou shalt no more be termed
Forsaken; neither shall thy land
•any more be termed Desolate:
but thou shalt be called Hephzi-
bah, and thy land Beulah: for the
Lord delighteth in thee.
10 Go through, go through the
gates; prepare ye the way of the
people ; cast up, cast up the high-
way: gather out the stones; lift
up a standard for the people.
11 Behold, the Lord hath pro-
claimed unto the end of the world,
Sav ye to the daughter of Zion,
Beliold, thy salvation cometh;
behold, his reward is with him,
and his work before him.
12 And they shall call them. The
holy people. The redeemed of tlie
Lord: and thou shalt be called,
ijought out, A city not forsaken.
Is.63— 1 Who is this tbat cometh
from Edom, with dyed garments
from Bozrah ? this that is glorious
in his apparel, travelling in the
greatness of his strength ? I that
speak in righteousness, mighty to
save.
2 Wherefore art thou red in thine
apparel, and thy garments like
Iiim that treadeth in the wine-
fat?
3 1 have trodden the winepress
alone ; and of the people there was
none with me: for 1 will tread
them in mine anger, and trample
them in my fury; and tlieir blood
shall be sprinkled upon my gar-
ments, and I will stain all my rai-
ment.
4 For the day of vengeance is in
mine heart, and the yearof my re-
deemed is come.
5 And I looked, and there was
none to help; and I wondered that
there was none to behold: there-
fore mine own arm bi'ought salva-
tion unto me ; and my fury, it up-
held me.
6 And I will tread down the peo-
ple in mine anger, and make them
drmik in my fury, and I will bring
down their strength to the earth.

Israel out of the land of Egypt ;
1.5 But, The Lord liveth. that

them again into their land that I
gave unto their fathers.
Je 23—5 Behold, the days come,
.saith the Lord, that I will raise
unto David a righteous Branch,
and a King shall reign and pros-
per, and shall execute judgment
and justice in the earth.
6 In his days Judah shall be
saved, and Israel shall dwell safe-
ly: and this is his name whereby
he shall be called, THE LORD
OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
7 Therefore, behold, the days
come, saith the Lord, that they
shall no more say. The Lord liv-
eth, which brought up the chil-
dren of Israel out of the land of
Egypt ;
8 But, The Lord liveth, which
brought up and which led the .seed
of the house of Lsrael out of the
north country, and from all coun-
tries whither I had driven them ;
and they .shall dwell in their own
land. p. 272.
Je. 24—5 Thus saith the Lord,
the God of Lsrael; Like these
good tigs, so will I acknowledge
them that are carried away cap-
tive of Judah, whom I have sent
out of this place into the land of
the Chaldeans for their good.
6 For I will set mine eyes upon
them for good, and I will bring
them again to this land : and I will
bviild them, and not pull them
down ; and I will plant them, and
not pluck them up.
7 And I will give them a heart to
know me, that I am the LopD ; and
they shall be my people, and I will
be their God : for they shall return
unto me with their whole heart.

3 For, lo, the days come, saith
the Lord, that I will bring again
the captivity of my people Israel
and Judah, saith the Lord: and
I vrill cause them to return to the
land that 1 gave to their fathers,
and they shall possess it.
q Thev shall serve the Lord
their Go"d, and David their king, i
-whom 1 will raise up unto them.
10 Therefore fear thou not, O
my servant Jacob, saith the Lord ;
neither be dismayed, O Israel : for,
lo, I will save thee from afar, and
thy seed from the land of their
captivity ; and Jacob shall return,
and shall be in rest, and be quiet,
and none shall make him atraid.
11 For I am with thee, saith the
Lord, to save thee: though I
make a full end of all nations
whither I have scattered thee,
yet will I not make a full end ot
thee; but I will correct thee m
measure, and will not leave thee
altogether unpunished.
16 Therefore all they that de-
vour thee shall be devoured ; and
all thine adversaries, every one ot
them, shall go into captivity ; and
they that spoil thee shall be a
spoil, and all that prey upon thee
will I give for a prey.
17 For I will restore health unto
thee, and I will heal thee of thy
wounds, saith the Lord ; because
they called thee an Outcast, say-
ing. This is Zion, whom no man
seeketh after.
18 Thus saith the Lord; Be-
hold, I Mall bring again the cap-
tivity of Jacob's tents, and have
mercy on his dwelling-places ; and
the city shall be builded upon her
own heap, and the palace shall
remain alter the manner thereot.
19 And out of them shall proceed
thanksgiving and the voice ot
them that make merry: and I will
multiply them, and they shall not
be few ; I will also glorify them,
and they shall not be small.
'50 Their children also shall be as
aforetime, and their congregation
shallbe establishedbelore me,and
I will pmiish allthat oppress them.
21 And their nobles shall be ot
themselves, and their governor
shall proceed from the midst ot
them ; and I will cause him to
draw near, and he shall approach
unto me : for who is this that en-
gaged his heart to approach unto
me? saith the Lord.
22 And ye shall be my people,
and I will be your God.,
Je. 31—1 At the same time, saith
the Lord, will I be the God of all
the families of Israel, and they
shall be my people.
2 Thus saith the Lord, The peo-
ple which were left of the sword
found grace in the wilderness;
even Israel, when I went to cause
him to rest.
I 3 The Lord hath appeared of
old unto me, saying. Yea, I have
loved thee with an everlasting
love: therefore with loving kind-
ness have I drawn thee.
4 Again I will build thee, and
thou shalW he built, O virgin of
Israel: thou shalt again be
adorned with thy tabrets, and
Shalt go forth in the dances ot
them that make merry. .
5 Thou shalt yet plant vines up-
on the mountains of Samaria: the
planters shall plant, and shall eat
them as common things.
6 For there shall be a day, tuat
the watchman upon the momit
Ephraim shall cry. Arise ye, and
let us go up to Zion unto the
1 Lord our God.
476
7 For thus saitli the Lord ; Slug
with gladness for Jacob, and
shout among the chief of the na-
tions: publish ye, praise ye, and
say, O Lord, save thy people, the
remnant of Israel.
8 Behold, I will bring them from
the north country, and gather
them from the coasts of the earth,
and with them the blind and the
lame, the woman with child and
her that travaileth with child to-
gether: a great company shall re-
turn thither.
9 They shall come with weeping,
and with supplications will I lead
tliem: 1 will cause them to walk
by the rivers of waters in a
straight way, wherein thev shall
not stumble: for I am a father to
Israel, and Eplu-aim is my first-
born.
10 Hear the word of the Lord,
O ye nations, and declare it in the
isles afar olif, and say. He that
scattered Israel will gather him,
and keep him, as a shepherd doth
his flock.
11 For the Lord hath redeemed
Jacob, and ransomed him from
the hand of him that was stronger
than he.
12 Therefore they shall come
andsingin the height of Zion.and
shall flow together to the good-
ness of the Lord, for wheat, and
for wine, and for oil, and for the
young of the flock and of the
herd : and their soul shall be as a
watered garden ; and they shall
not sorrow any more at all.
13 Then shall the virgin rejoice
in the dance, both young men and
old together: for I will turn their
mourning into joy.
14 And 1 will satiate the soul of
the priests with fatness, and my
people shall be satisfied with mv
goodness, saith the Lord.
15 Thus saith the Lord; A
voice was heard in Ramah, lam-
entation, and bitter weepmg; Ra-
chel weeping for her children re-
fused to be comforted for her chil-
dren, because they were not.
16 Thus saith the Lord ; Refrain
thy voice from weeping, and thine
eyes from tears: for thy work
shall be rewarded, saiththeLoRD ;
and they shall come again from
the land of the enemy, p. 20:3.
17 And there is hope in thine
end, saith the Lord, that thv
children shall come again to their
own border.
22 How long wilt thou go about,
O thou backsliding daughter? for
the Lord hath created a new
thing in the earth. A woman shall
compass a man.
23 Thus saith the Lord of hosts,
the God of Israel; As yet they
shall use this speech m the land
of Judah and in the cities thereof,
when I shall bring again their
captivity; The Lord bless thee.
O habitation of justice, and
mountain of holiness.
24 And there shall dwell in Ju-
dah itself, and in all the cities
thereof together, husbandmen,
and they that go forth with flocks.
27 Behold, the days come, saith
the Lord, that I will sow the
house of Israel and the house of
Judah with the seed of man. and
with the seed of beast.
28 And it shall come to pass, that
like as I have watched over them,
to pluck up, and to break down,
and to throw down, and to destroy,
and to afflict ; so will I watch over
them, to build, and to plant, saith
the Lord.
29 In those days they shall say
no more. The fathers have eaten
a sour grape, and the children's
teeth are set on edge.
30 But every one shall die for
his own iniquity: every man that
eateth the soui- grape, his teeth
shall be set on edge.
31 Behold, the days come, saith
the Lord, that I will make a new
covenant with the house of Israel,
and with the house of Judah:
32 Not accordmg to the cove-
nant that I made with their fath-
ers, in the day that I took them
by the hand to bring them out of
the land of Egypt ; which mv cov-
enant they brake, although I was
a husband unto them, saith the
Lord :
33 But this shall be the covenant
that I will make with the house of
Israel ; After those days, saith the
Lord. I will put my law in their
inward parts, and write it in their
hearts ; and will be their God, and
they shall be my people.
.34 And they shall teach no more
every man his neighbour, and
every man his brother, saving.
Know the Lord: for they shall all
know me. from the least of them
unto the greatest of them, saith
the Lord: for I will forgive their
iniquity, and I will remember
their sin no more.
Je. 33—7 And I will cause the
captivity of Judah aud tlie cap-
tivity oi Israel to return, aud will
build them, as at the first.
8 And I will cleanse them from
all their iniquity, whereby they
have sinned against me ; and I
will pardon all their iniquities,
whereby they have sinned, and
whereby they have transgressed
against me.
9 And it shall be to me a name
of joy, a praise and an honour be-
fore all tue nations of the earth,
which shall hear all the good that
I do unto them: and they shall
fear and tremble for all the good-
ness and for all the prosperity
that I procure unto it.
10 Tlius saith the Lord ; Again
there shall be heard in this place,
whicli ye say shall be desolate
without man and without beast,
even in the cities of Judah, and in
the streets of Jerusalem, that are
de.solate, without man, and with-
outinhaDitant,and without beast,
11 The voice of joy, and the
voice of gladness, the voice of the
bridegroom, and the voice of the
bride, the voice of them that
.shall say. Praise the Lord of hosts:
for the Lord is good; for his
mercy endureth forever: and of
them tliat shall bring the sacri-
fice of praise into the house of the
Lord. For I will cause to return
the captivity of the land, as at
the first, saith the Lord.
12 Thus saith the Lord of hosts;
Agam in this place, which is deso-
late without man and without
beast, and in all the cities thereof,
shall be a habitation of shepherds
causing their Hocks to lie down.
13 In the cities of the mountains,
in the cities of the vale, and in the
cities of the south, and in the land
of Benjamin, and in the places
about Jerusalem, and in the cities
of Judah, shall the liocks pass
again imder the hands of him that
telleth them, saith the Lord.
14 Behold, the days come, saith
the Lord, that I will perform that
good thing which I have promised
unto the house of Israel aud to
the house of Judah.
15 In those days, and at that
time, will I cause the Branch of
righteousness to grow up unto
David ; and he shall execute judg-
ment and righteousness in the
laud.
IG In those days shall Judah be
saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell
safely: aud this is the name
wherewith .she shall be called.
The Lord our Righteousness.
17 For thus saith the Lord;
David shall never want a man to
sit upon the throne of the house of
Israel ;
18 Neither shall the priests the
Levites want a man before me to
offer Imrnt offerings, and to kindle
meat offerings, and to do sacrifice
continually.
19 And the word of the Lord
came unto Jeremiah, saying,
20 Thus saith the Lord; If ye
can break my covenant of the day,
and my covenant of the night, and
that there should not be day and
night in their season :
21 Tiien may also my covenant
be broken with David my servant,
that he should not have a son to
reign upon his throne ; and with
the Levites the priests, my minis-
ters.
22 As the host of heaven cannot
lie numbered, neither the sand of
the sea measured -so will I multi-
ply the seed of David my serv-
ant, and the Levites that minister
unto me.
Je. 46—27 But fear not tliou, O
my servant Jacob, and be not dis-
mayed, O Israel: for, behold, I
will save thee from afar off, and
thy seed from the land of their
captivity; and Jacob shall return,
and be m rest and at ease, aud
none shall make him afraid.
28 Fear thou not, O Jacob my
.servant, saith the Lord: for I am
with thee; for I will make a full
end of all the nations whither I
have driven thee: but I will not
make a full end of thee, but cor-
rect thee in measure: yet will I
not leave thee wholly unpun-
ished.
Eze. 11—16 Thus saith the Lord
God ; Although I have cast them
far off among the heathen, and
although I have scattered them
among the countries, yet will I
be to them as a little sanctuary
in the countries where they shall
come.
17 Therefoie say. Thus saith the
Lord God , I will even gather you
from the people, and assemble
you out of the countries where ye
have been scattered, and I will
give you the laud of Israel.
478
18 And they shall come thither,
and they shall take away all the
detestable things thereof and all
the abominations thereof from
thence.
19 And I will give them one
heart, and 1 will put a new spirit
within you: and I will take the
stony heart out of their flesh, and
will give them a heart of flesh :
20 That they may walk in my
statutes, and keep mine ordi-
nances, and do them: and they
shall be my people, and I will be
theii- God.
Reproof of the shepherds (the
priests of Israel, the Jewish
priests) for letting the flock (the
people) go astray. The new shep-
herd, David, riant of renown,
— names attributed to Christ.
Eze. 34—2 Thus saith the Lord
God imto the shepherds: Woe be
to the shepherds of Israel that do
feed themselves! should not the
shepherds feed the flocks?
3 Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe
you with the wool, ye kill them
that are fed: but ye feed not the
flock.
6 My sheep wandered through
all the mountains, and upon every
high hill: yea, my flock was scat-
tered upon all the face of the
earth, and none did search or seek
after them.
9 Therefore, O ye shepherds,
hear the word of the Lokd;
10 Thus saith the Lord God; Be-
hold, I am against the shepherds;
and I will require my flock at their
hand, and cause them to cease
from feeding the flock; neither
shall the shepherds feed them-
selves any more : for I will deliver
my flock from their mouth, that
they may not be meat for them.
12 As a shepherd seeketh out
his flock in the day that he is
among his sheep that are scatter-
ed : so will I seek out my sheep,
and will deliver them oiit of all
places where they have been scat-
tered in the cloudy and dark day.
13 And I will bring them out
from the people, and gather them
from the countries, and will bring
them to theii' own land, and feed
them upon the mountains of Israel
by the rivers, and in all the inhab-
ited places of the country.
14 I will feed them in a good
pasture, and upon the high mount-
ains of Israel shall their fold be:
there shall they lie in a good fold,
and in a fat pasture shall they feed
upon the mountains of Israel.
15 1 will feed my flock, and I will
cause them to lie down, saith the
Lord God.
23 And I will set up one Shep-
herd over them, and he shall feed
them, even my servant David ; he
shall feed them, and he shall be
theu" shepherd.
24 And I the Lord will be their
God, and my servant David a
prince among them; I the Lord
have spoken it.
25 And I will make with them a
covenant of peace, and will cause
the evil beasts to cease out of the
land: and they shall dwell safely
in the wilderness, and sleep in the
woods.
26 And I will make them and
the places round about my hill
a blessing; and I will cause the
shower to come down in his sea-
son; there shall be showers of
blessing.
27 And the tree of the field shall
yield her fruit, and the earth shall
yield her increase, and thev shall
be safe in then- land, and shall
know that 1 am the Lord, when
I have broken the bands of their
yoke, and delivered them out of
the hand of those that served
themselves of them.
28 And they shall no more be a
prey to the heathen, neither shall
the beast of the land devour them ;
but they shall dwell safely, and
none shall make them afraid.
29 And I will raise up for them
a plant of renown, and they shall
be no more consumed with hun-
ger in the land, neither bear the
shame of the heathen any more.
30 Thus shall they know that I
the Lord am with them, and that
they, even the house of Isi-ael, are
my people, saith the Lord God.
31 And ye my flock, the flock of
my pasture, are men, and I am
your God, saith the Lord God.
Eze. 36—24 1 will take you from
among the heathen, and gather
you out of all countries, and will
bring you into your own land.
25 IT Then will I sprinkle clean
water upon you, and ye shall be
clean: from all your tilthiness,
and from all your idols.
479
26 A new heart also will I give
yqii, and a new spirit will I put
within you: and I will take away
the stony heart out of your flesh,
and 1 will give you a heart of
nesh.
27 And I will put my Spirit
within you, and cause yoix to
walk m my statutes, and ye shall
keep my judgments, and do them.
28 And ye shall dwell in tlie
land that I gave to your fathers:
and ye shall be my people, and I
will be your (4od.
Eze. 37—21 Thus'Saith the Lord,
Beliold, 1 will take the children
ol Israel from among the heathen,
whither they be gone, and will
gather them on every side, and
bring them into their own laud :
22 And I will make them one
nation in the land upon the moun-
tains of Israel ; and one king shall
be king to them all: and they
shall be no more two nations, nei-
ther shall they be divided into two
kmgdoms any more at all.
24 And David my servant shall
he kmg over them ; and they all
sliall have one shepherd: they
shall also walk in my judgments,
a^nd observe my statutes, and do
them.
25 And they shall dwell in the
land that I have given unto Jacob
my servant, wherein your fathers
have dwelt; and they shall dwell
therein, even they, and their chil-
dren, and theirchildren's children
ior ever: and my servant David
shall be their prince for ever.
26 Moreover I will make a cove-
nant of peace with them ; it shall
be an everlasting covenant with
them : and I will place them, and
multiply them, and will set my
sanctuary in the midst of them
tor evermore.
27 My tabernacle also shall be
with them: yea, I will be their
CTod, and they shall be my people.
28 And the heathen shall know
that I the Lord do sanctify Israel
when my sanctuary shall be in the
midst of them for evermore. See
Eze. 37. 1-14, p. 440.
Eze. 39-23 And the heathen
shall know that the house of Israel
went mto captivity for their in-
iquity: because they trespassed
against me, therefore hid I my
tace from them, and gave theni
into the hand of their enemies:
so fell they all by the sword.
24 According to their uncleaii-
nessand according to their trAn.s-
gressioiis have I done unto them,
and hid my face from them.
2.5 Therefore thus saith the Lord
(jod: Now will I bring again the
captivity of Jacob, and have
mercy upon the whole house of
and will be jealous for my
nercy i
srael, :
I „ .
holy name;
20 After that they have borne
their shame, and all their tres-
passes whereby they have tre.s-
pas.sed against me, when thev
dwelt safely in their land, and
none made them afraid.
27 When I have brought them
again from the people, and gath-
ered them out of their enemies'
lands, and am sanctified in them
m the sight of many nations;
28 Then shall they know that I
am the Lord their God, which
caused them to be led into captiv-
ity among the heathen: but I
have gathered them unto their
own land, and have left none of
them any more there.
29 Neither will I hide my face
any more from them : for I have
poured out my Spirit upon the
house of Israel, saith the Lord
God. See Eze. 39, p. 436.

.Da. 9—1 In the first year of Da-
rius the son of Ahasuerus, of the
seed of the Medes, which was
made king over the realm of the
Chaldeans:
2 In the first year of his reign, I
Daniel understood by books the
number of the years, whereof the
word of the Lord came to Jere-
miah the prophet, that he would
accomplish seventy years in the
desolations of Jerusalem.
3 And 1 set my face unto the
Lord God, to seek by prayer and
supplications, with fasting, and
sackcloth, and ashes:
16 O Lord, according to all thy
righteousness, I beseech thee, let
thine anger and thy fury be turned
away from thy city Jerusalem,
thy holy mountain: because for
our sins, and for the iniquities of
our fathers, Jerusalem and thy
people are become a reproach to
all that are about us.
480
17 Now therefore, O our God,
hear the prayer of thy servant,
and his supplications, and cause
tliy face to shine upon tliy sanc-
tuary that is desolate.
18 O my God, inclhie thine ear,
and hear; open thine eyes, and
hehold our desolations, and the
city which is called by thy name:
for we do not present our suppli-
cations before thee for our right-
eousnesses, but for thy great
mercies.
19 O Lord, hear; O Lord, for-
give; O Lord, hearken and do;
defer not, for thine own sake, O
my God: for thy city and thy
people are called by thy name.
20 And while I was speaking,
and praying, and confessing my
sin and the sin of my people Is-
rael, and presenting my supplica-
tion before the Lord my God for
the holy mountain of my God ;
21 Yea, while I was speaking in
prayer, even the man Gabriel,
whom I had seen in the vision at
the beginning, being caused to
fly swiftly, touched me about the
time of the evening oblation.
22 And he informed nie, and
talked with me, and said, O Dan-
iel, I am now come forth to give
thee skill and understanding.
23 At the beginning of thy sup-
plications the commandment
came forth, and I am come to
shew thee; for thou art greatly
beloved : therefore understand the
matter, and consider the vision.
24 Seventy weeks are detennin-
ed upon thy people and upon thy
holy city, to finish the transgres-
sion, and to make an end of sms,
and to make reconciliation for in-
iquity, and to bring in everlasting
righteousness, and to seal up the
vision and prophecy, and to anoint
the Most Holy.
25 Know therefore and under-
stand, that from the going forth
of the commandment to restore
and to build Jerusalem, unto the
Messiah the Prince, shall be seven
weeks, and threescore and two
weeks: the street shall be built
again, and the wall, even in
troublous times. (See rebuilding
of the temple and. wall of Jerusa-
lean, Ezr. 1 and .3. 8, Hag. l and
2. and Ne. 1-5, and 12.)
26 And after threescore and two
weeks shall Messiah be cut off,
but not for himself: and the peo-
ple of the prince that shall come
shall destroy the city and the
sanctuary; and the end thereof
shall be with a flood, and unto
the end of the war desolations are
determined.
27 And he shall confirm the cov-
enant with many for one week:
and in the midst of the week he
shall cause the sacrifice and the
oblation to cease, and for the over-
spreading of abominations he
shall make it desolate, even until
the consummation, and that de-
termined shall be poured upon
the desolate.
Ho. 1—10 Yet the nupiber of the
children of Israel shall be as the
sand of the sea, which cannot be
measured nor numbered; and it
shall come to pass, that in the
place where it was said unto
them. Ye are not my people, there
it shall be said unto them. Ye are
the sons of the living God.
11 Then shall the children of
Judah and the children of Israel
be gathered together, and appoint
themselves one head, and they
shall come up out of the land: for
great shall be the dav of Jezreel.
Ho. 3—4 For the children of Is-
rael shall abide many days with-
out a king, and without a prince,
and without a sacrifice, and with-
out an image, and without an
ephod, and without terapliim :
5 Afterward shall the children
of Israel return, and seek the
L(JRD their God, and David their
king; and shall fear the Lord
and his goodness in the latter
days.
Am. 9—11 In that day will I
raise up the tabernacle of David
that is fallen, and close up the
breaches thereof ; and 1 will raise
up his ruins, and I will build it as
in the days of old.
14 And I will brmg again the
captivity of my people of Israel,
and they shall build the M'aste
cities, and inhabit them ; and they
sliall plant vuieyards, and drink
the wme thereof; they shall also
make gardens, and eat the fruit
of them.
15 And I will plant them upon
their land, and they shall no more
be pulled up out of their land
which I have given them, saith
the Lord thy God.
481
Mi. 5—1 Now gather thyself ui
troops. O daughter of troops: he
hath laid siege against us: they
shall smite the judge of Israel
with a rod upon the clieek.
2 But thou, Beth-lehem Eph-
ratah. though thou be little among
the thousands of Judah.yet out of
thee shall he come forth unto me
that is to be ruler in Israel ; whose
goings forth have been from of old,
from everlasting.
3 Therefore will he give them
up, until the time that she which
travaileth hath brought forth:
then the remnant of his brethren
shall return unto the children of
Israel. ,, , , x j
4 And he shall stand and feed
in the strength of the Lord, in
the majesty of the name of the
Lord his God; and they shall
abide : for now shall he be great
unto the ends of the earth.
5 And this man shall be the
peace, when the Assyrian shall
come into our land : and when he
shall tread in our palaces, then
shall we raise against him seven
shepherds, and eight principal
men. , , ,
6 And they shall waste the land
of Assyria with the sword, and the
land of Nimrod in the entrances
thereof: thus shall he deliver us
from the Assyrian, when he com-
eth into our land, and when he
treadeth within our borders.
7 And the remnant of Jacob shall
be in the midst of many people as
a dew from the Lord, as the
showers upon the grass, that tar-
rieth not for man, nor waiteth for
the sons of men. , , ,,
8 And the remnant of Jacob shall
he among the Gentiles in the
midst of many people, as a lion
among the beasts of the forest, as
a young lion among the flocks of
sheep: who, if he go through,
both treadeth down, and teareth
in pieces, and none can deliver.
9 Thine hand shall be lifted up
upon thine adversaries, and all
thine enemies shall be cut off.
10 And it shall come to pass in
that day, saith the Lord, that I
will cut off thy horses out of the
midst of thee, and I will destroy
thy chariots:
11 And I will cut off the cities of
thy land, and throw down all thy
strong holds :
12 And I will cut off witchcrafts
out of thine hand ; and thoushalt
have no more soothsayers:
13 Thy graven images also will I
cut off, and thy .standing images;
and thou shalt no more worship
the work of thine hands.
14 And I will pluck up thy
groves out of the midst of thee : so
will I destroy thy cities.
15 And I will execute vengeance
in anger and fury upon the hea-
then, such as they have not heard.
Mi. 2—12 1 will surely assemble,
O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely
gather the remnant of Israel; I
will put them together as the
sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in
the midst of their fold : they shall
make great noise by reason of
the multitude of men.
13 The breaker is come up be-
fore them: they have broken up.
and have passed through the gate,
and are gone out by it ; and their
king shall pass before them, and
the Lord on the head of them.
Zep. 3—8 Therefore wait ye upon
me, saith the Lord, until the day
that I rise up to the prey: for my
determination is to gather the
nations, that I may assemble the
kingdoms, to pour upon them
mine indignation, even all my
fierce anger: for all the earth shall
be devoured with the fire of my
jealousy.
9 For then will I turn to the peo-
ple a pure language, that they
may all call upon the name of the
Lord, to serve him with one con-
sent. . ,
10 From beyond the rivers or
Ethiopia my suppliants, even the
daughter of my dispersed, shall
bring mine offering.
11 In that day shalt thou not be
ashamed for all thy doings, where-
in thou hast transgressed against
me: for then I will take away out
of the midst of thee them that re-
joice in thy pride, and thou shalt
no more be haughty because of
my holy mountain.
12 I will also leave m the midst
of thee an afflicted and poor peo-
ple, and they shall trust in the
name of the Lord. , , ,,
13 The remnant of Israel shall
not do iniquity, nor speak lies;
neither shall a deceitful tongue
be found in their mouth: for they
shall feed and lie down, and none
shall make them afraid.
482
14 Sing, O daughter of Zion;
shout, O Israel; be glad and re-
joice with all the heart, O daugh-
ter of Jerusalem.
15 The Lord hath taken away
thy judgments, he hath cast out
thine enemy : the King of Israel,
even the Lord, is in the midst of
thee: thou shaltnotsee evil any
more.
16 In that day it shall be said to
•lerusalem. Fear thou not: and to
Zion, Let not thine hands be slack.
17 The Lord thy God in the
midst of thee is mighty; he will
save, he will rejoice over thee
with joy ; he will rest in his love,
he will joy over thee with singing.
18 I will gather them that are
sorrowful for the solemn assem-
bly, who are of thee, to whom the
reproach of it was a burden.
19 At that time I will undo all
that afflict thee: and 1 will save
her that halteth, and gather her
that was driven out; and I will
get them praise and fame in every
land where they have been put to
shame.
•iO At that time will I bring you
again, even in the time that I
gather you: for I will make you a
name and a praise among all peo-
ple of the earth, when I turn back
your captivity before your eyes,
saith the Lord.
Zee. 2 — i Jerusalem shall be in-
habited as towns without walls
for the multitude of men and
cattle therein:
5 For I, saith the Lord, will be
unto her a wall of tire round
about, and will be the glory in the
midst of her.
6 Ho, ho, come forth, and flee
from the land of the north, saith
the Lord: fori liave spread you
abroad as the four winds of the
heaven, saith the Lord.
7 Deliver thyself, O Zion, that
dwellest with the daughter of
Babylon.
8 For thus saith the Lord of
hosts ; After the glory hath he sent
me unto the nations which spoiled
you: for he that touoheth you,
toucheth the apple of his eye.
9 For, behold,! will shake mine
hand upon them, and they shall
be a spoil to their servants.
. 10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter
of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will
dwell in the midst of thee, saith
the Lord.
11 And many nations shall be
joined to the Lord in that day,
and shall be my people : and I will
dwell in the midst of thee, and
thou shalt know that the Lord of
hosts hath sent me unto thee.
12 And the Lord shall inherit
Judah his portion in the holy land,
and shall cnoose Jerusalem again.
Joshua, the high priest. The
Branch (supposed to be Christ) is
promised.
Zee. 3—1 And he shewed me
Joshua the high priest standing
before the angel of the Lord, and
Satan standing at his right hand
to resist him.
2 And the Lord said unto Sa-
tan, The Lord rebuke thee, O
Satan ; even the Lord that hath,
chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee : is
not this a brand plucked out of
the fire?
3 Now Joshua was clothed with
filthy garments, and stood before
the angel.
4 And he spake unto those that
stood before him, saying. Take
away the filthy garments from
him. And unto hmi he said. Be-
hold,! have caused thine iniquity
to pass from thee, and I will clothe
thee with change of raiment.
5 And I said. Let them set a fair
mitre upon his head. So they set
a fair mitre upon his head, and
clothed him with garments.
6 And the angel of the Lord
protested unto Joshua, saying,
7 Thus saith the Lord of hosts;
If thou wilt walk in my ways, and
if thou wilt keep my charge, then
thou shalt also judge my house,
and shalt also Keep my courts,
and I will give thee places to walk
among these that stand by.
8 Hear now, O Joshua the high
priest, thou, and thy fellows that
sit before thee: for they are men
wondered at: for, behold, I will
bring forth my servant the
BRANCH.
9 For behold the stone that I
have laid hefore Joshua ; upon one
stone shall.be seven eyes: behold,
I will engrave the graving thereof,
saith the Lord of hosts, and I will
remove the iniquity of that land
in one day.
10 In that day, saith the Lord
of liosts, shall ye call every man
his neighbour under the vine and
under the tig tree.
483
Zee. 6—9 And the word of the
Lord came unto me.sayiug,
10 Take of them of the captivity,
even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of
Jedaiah, which are come from
Babylon, and come thou the same
day, and go into tlie house of Jo-
siah the sou of Zephaniah ;
U Then take silver and gold,
and make crowns, and set them
upon the head of Joshua the son
of Josedech, the high priest ;
12 And speak imto him, saying,
Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts,
saying, Behold the man whose
name is The BRANCH; and he
shall grow up out of his place,
and he shall build the temple of
the Lord:
X3 Even he shall build the tem-
ple of the Lord; and he shall
bear the glory, and shall sit and
rule upon his throne; and he
shall be a priest upon his throne:
and the counsel of peace shall be
between them both.
14 And the crowns shall be to
Helem. and to Tobijah, and to
Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of
Zephaniah, for a memorial in the
temple of the Lord.
15 And they that are far off shall
come and build in the temple of
the Lord, and ye shall know that
the Lord of hosts hath sent me
unto you. And this shall come to
pass, if ye will diligently obey the
voice of the Lord yom' God.
Zee. 8—1 Again the word of the
Lord of hosts came to me, saying,
2 Thus saith the Lord of hosts ;
I was jealous for Zion with great
jealousy, and I was jealous for
her with great fury.
3 Thus saitli the Lord ; 1 am re-
turned mito Zion, and will dwell in
the midst of Jerusalem: and Jeru-
salem shall be called A city of
truth; and the mountain of the
Lord of hosts, The holy mountain.
4 Thus saith the Lord of hosts;
There shall yet old men and old
women dwell in the streets of Je-
rusalem, and every man with his
staff in his hand for very age.
5 And the streets of the city
shall be full of boys and gii-ls play-
ing in the streets thereof.
6 Thus saith the Lord; If it be
marvellous in the eyes of the
remnant of this people in these
days, should it also be marvellous
in mine eyes? saith the Lord of
hosts.
7 Thus saith the Lord of hosts;
Behold, I will save my people
from the east country, and from
the west country ;
8 And I will bring them, and
they shall dwell in the midst of
Jerasalem : and they shall be my
people, and I will be their God,
in truth and in righteousness.
22 Yea, many people and strong
nations shall come to seek the
Lord of hosts in Jerusalem, and
to pray before the Lord.
23 Thus saith the Lord of hosts ;
In those days it shall come to
pass, that ten men sliall take hold
out of all languages of tlie na-
tions, even shall take hold of the
skirt of him that is a Jew, saying,
We will go with you : for we have
heard that God is with you.
Zee. 9—9 Rejoice greatly, O
daughter of Zion ; shout, O daugh-
ter of Jerusalem: behold, thy
King Cometh unto thee : he is just,
and liaving salvation; lowly, and
riding upon an ass, and upon a
colt the foal of an ass. Mat. 21. 5,
p. 511.
10 And I will cut off the chariot
from Ephraim, and the horse from
Jerusalem, and the battle bow
shall be cut off: and he shall
speak peace unto the heathen:
and his dominion shall be from
sea even to sea, and from the river
even to the ends of the earth.
Hi And the Lord their God shall
save them in that day as the flock
of his people: for they sliall be as
the stones of a crown, lifted up as
an ensign upon his land.
17 For how great is his goodness,
and how great is his beauty! corn
shall make the yoiuig men cheer-
ful, and ncM' wine the maids.
Zee. 10—5 And they shall be as
mighty men, which tread down
their enemies in the mire of the
streets in the battle: and they
shall fight, because the Lord is
with them, and the riders on
horses shall be confounded.
6 Andlwillstrengthenthehouse
of Judah, andl will save the house
of Joseph, and I will bring them
again to place them; for I have
mercy upon them: and they shall
be as though I had not cast them
off: for I am the Lord their
God.
7 And they of Ephraim shall be
like a mighty man, and their heart
shall rejoice as through wine: yea,
their children shall see it, and be
484
glad: their heart shall rejoice in
the Lord.
8 I will hiss for them, aud gath-
er them; for I have redeemed
them: and they shall increase as
they have increased.
9 And I will sow them among
the people: and they shall re-
member me in far coimtries; and
they shall live with their chil-
dren, aud tm-n again.
10 I will bring them again also
out of the land of Egypt, and
gather them out of Assyria ; and
I will bring them into the land of
Gilead and Lebanon; and place
shall not be found for them.
12 And I will strengthen them
in the Lord ; and they shall walk
up and down in his name, saith
the Lord.
Zee. 11—7 And 1 took unto me
two staves; the one I called
Beauty, and the other I called
Bands.
10 And 1 took my staff, even
Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I
might break my covenant which
I had made with all the people.
11 And it was broken in that
day: and so the poor of the flock
that waited upon me knew that
it was the word of the Lord.
12 And 1 said unto them. If ye
think good, give me my price ; and
if not, forbear. So they weighed
for my price thirty pieces of silver.
13 And the Lord said unto me.
Cast it unto the potter: a goodly
price that I was prized at of them.
And I took the thirty pieces of
silver, and cast them to the potter
in the hoiise of the Lord.
14 Then 1 cut asunder mine
other staff, even Bands, that I
might break the brotherhood be-
tween Judah and Israel, n. 271.
Zee. 12—2 Behold, I will make
Jerusalem a cup of trembling un-
to all the people romid about,
when they shall be in the siege
both against Judah and against
Jerusalem.
3 And in that day will I make
Jerusalem a burdensome stone for
all people : all that bmden them-
selves with it shall be cut in
pieces, though all the people of
the earth be gathered together
against it.
6 In that day will I make the
governors of Judah like a hearth
of tire among the wood, and a
torch of tire in a sheaf; and they
shall devour all the people round
about, on the right hand and on
the left: and Jerusalem shall be
inhabited agam in her own place,
even in Jerusalem.
7 The Lord also shall save the
tents of Judah first, that the glory
of the house of David and the
glory of the inhabitants of Jeru-
salem do not magnify themselves
against Judah.
8 In that day shall the Lord de-
fend the inhabitants of Jerusa-
lem, and he that is feeble among
them at that day shall be as
David ; and the house of David
shall be as God, as the angel of
the Lord before them.
9 And it shall come to pass in
that day, that I will seek to de-
stroy all the nations that come
against Jerusalem.
10 Aud I will pour upon the
house of David, and upon the in-
habitants of Jerusalem, the spirit
of grace and of supplications: and
they shall look upon me whom
they have pierced, and they shall
momTi for liim, as one moumeth
for his only son, and shall be in
bitterness for him, as one that is
in bitterness for his tirstborn.
11 In that day shall there be a
great mourning in Jerusalem, as
the mourning of Hadadrimmon
in the valley of Megiddon.
Zee. 13—1 In that day there shall
be a fountain opened to the house
of David and to the inhabitants
of Jerusalem for sin and for un-
cleanness.
2 t And it shall come to pass in
tliat day, saith the Lord of hosts,
that I will cut off the names of the
idols out of the land, and they
shall no more be remembered:
and also I will cause the prophets
and the unclean spirit to pass out
of the land.
3 And it shall come to pass, that
when any shall yet prophecy, then
his father and his mother that be-
gat him shall say mito him. Thou
shalt not live ; tor thou speakest
lies in the name of the Lord : and
his father and his mother that be-
gat him shall thrust him through
when he prophesieth.
4 And It shall come to pass in
that day, that the prophets shall
be ashamed every one of his vis-
ion, when he hath prophesied;
neither shall they wear a rough
garment to deceive:
5 But he shall say, I am no proph-
et, I am a husbandman; for man
485
taught me to keep cattle from my
youth.
6 And one shall say unto him,
What are these wounds in thine
hands? Then he shall answer,
Those with which I was wounded
in the house of my friends.
7 Awake, O sword, against my
Shepherd, and against the man
that is my fellow, saith the Lord
of hosts: smite the Shepherd, and
the sheep shall be scattered: and
I will turn mine hand upon the
little ones. Mat. 26. 31, p. 512.
8 And it shall come to pass, that
in all the land, saith the Lord,
two parts therein shall be cut off
and die; but the third shall be
left therein.
9 And I will bring the third part
through the fire, and will retine
them as silver is retined, and will
try them as gold is tried: they
shall call on my name, and 1 will
hear them: I will say, It is my
people: and they shall say. The
Lord is my God.
Zee. 14—1 Behold, the day of the
Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall
be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations
against Jerusalem to battle ■ and
the city shall be taken, and the
houses rifled, and the women rav-
ished; and half of the city shall
go forth into captivity, and the
residue of the people shall not be
cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the Lord go forth,
and fight against those nations, as
when he fought in the day of
battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in
that day'upon themount of Olives,
which is before Jerusalem on the
east, and the mount of Olives shall
cleave in the midst th ereof toward
the east and toward the west, and
there shall be a very great valley ;
and half of the mountain shall re-
move toward the north, and half
of it toward the south.
5 And ye shall flee to the valley
of the mountains; for the valley
of the mountains shall reach unto
Azal : yea, ye shall flee, like as ye
fled from before the earthquake
in the days of Uzziah king of Ju-
dah: and the Lord my God shall
come, and all the saints with thee.
6 And it shall come to pass in
that day, that the light shall not
be clearj nor dark:
7 But It shall be one day which
shall be known to the Lord, not
day, nor night: but it shall come
to pass, that at evening time it
shall be light.
8 And it shall be in that day, that
living waters shall go out from
Jerusalem; half of tliem toward
the former sea, and half of them
toward the hinder sea : in summer
and in winter shall it be.
9 And the Lord shall be King
over all the earth: in that day
shall there be one Lord, and his
name one.
10 All the land shall be turned
as a plain from Geba to Rimmon
•south of Jerusalem: and it shall
be lifted up, and inhabited in her
place, from Benjamin's gate unto
the place of the first gate, unto
the corner gate, and from the
tower of Hananeel tmto the king's
winepresses.
11 And men shall dwell in it, and
there shall be no more utter de-
struction ; but Jerusalem shall be
safely inhabited.
12 And this shall be the plague
wherewith the Lord will smite
all the people that have fought
against Jerusalem; Their flesh
shall consume away while they
stand upon then- feet, and their
eyes shall consume away in their
holes, and their tongue shall con-
sume away in their mouth.
13 And it shall come to pass in
that day, that a great tumult from
the Lord shall be among them;
and they shall lay hold every one
on the hand of his neighbour, and
his hand shall rise up against the
hand of his neighbour.
14 And Judah also shall fight at
Jerusalem ; and the wealth of all
the heathen round about shall be
gathered together, gold, and sil-
ver, and apparel, in great abun-
15 And so shall be the plague of
the horse, of the mule, of the
camel, and of the ass, and of all
the beasts that shall be in these
tents, as this plague.
16 And it shall come to pass, that
every one that is left of all the
nations which came against Jeru-
salem, shall even go up from year
to year to worship the King, the
Lord of hosts, and to keep the
feast of tabernacles.
17 And it shall be, that whoso will
not come up of all the families of
the earth unto Jerusalem to wor-
486
ship the King, the Lord of hosts,
even upon them shall be no rain.
18 And if the family of Egypt go
not up, and come not, that have
:io rain ; there shall be the plague,
wherewith the Lord will smite
the heathen that come not up to
keep the feast of tabernacles.
19 Thisshall be the punishment
of Egypt, and the punishment of
all nations that come not up to
keep the feast of tabernacles.
20 In that day shall there be
upon the bells of the horses,
HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD;
and the pots in the Lord's house
shall he like the bowls before the
altar.
21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem
and in Judah shall be holiness
unto the Lord of hosts: and all
they that sacrifice shall come and
take of them, and seethe therein:
and in that day there shall be no
more the Canaanite iu the house
of the Lord of hosts.
Mai. 3—1 Behold, I will send my
messenger, and he shall prepare
the wayhefore me: and the Lord,
whom ye seek, shall suddenly
come to his temple, even the mes-
senger of the covenant, whom ye
delight in: behold, he shall come,
saith the Lord of hosts.
2 But who may abide the day of
his coming '? and who shall stand
when he appeareth ? for he is like
a refiner's fire, and like fullers'
soap:
3 And he shall sit as a refiner
and purifier of silver: and he shall
pui'iry the sons of Levi, and purge
them as gold and silver, that they
may offer unto the Lord an offer-
ing in righteousness.
4 Then shall the offering of Ju-
dah and Jerusalem be pleasant
unto the Lord, as in the days of
old, and as in former years.
5 And I will come near to you to
judgment; and I will be ii swift
witness against the sorcerers, and
against the adulterers, and aga inst
false swearers, and against those
that oppress the hireling in his
wages, tlie widow, and the father-
less, and that turn aside the stran-
ger from his right, and fear not
me, saith the Lord of hosts.
6 For I am the Lord, I change
not; therefore ye sons of Jacob
are not consumed.
7 Even fiom the days of your
fathers ye are gone away from
mine ordinances, and have not
kept them. Return unto me, and
I will return unto you, saith the
Lord of hosts. Be ye said. Where-
in shall we return ?
8 Will a man rob God ? Yet ye
have robbed me. But ye say.
Wherein have we robbed thee ?
In tithes and offerings.
9 Ye are cursed with a curse:
for ye have robbed me, even this
whole nation.
10 Bring ye all the tithes into
the storehouse, that there may be
meat in mme house, and prove
me now herewith, saith the Lord
of hosts, if I will not open you the
windows of heaven, and pour you
out a blessing, that there shall
not be room enough to receive it.
11 And I will rebuke the devour-
er for your sakes,and he shall not
destroy the fruits of your ground :
neither shall your vine cast her
fruit before the time in the field,
saith the Lord of hosts.
12 And all nations shall call you
blessed: for 5;e shall be a delight-
some land,saith theLoRD of hosts.
13 If Your words have been stout
against me, saith the Lord. Yet
ye say. What have we spoken so
inuch against thee ?
14 Ye have said. It is vain to
serve God: and what profit is it
that we have kept his ordinance,
and that we have walked mourn-
fully before the Lord of hosts ?
15 And now we call the proud
happy; yea, they that work wick-
edness are set up; yea, they that
tempt God are even delivered.
16 Then they that feared the
Lord spake often one to another:
and the Lord hearkened, and
heard it, and a Iwok of i-emem-
brance was written before him for
them that feared the Lord, and
that thought upon his name.
IV And they shall be mine, saith
the Lord of hosts, in that day
when I make up my jewels; and I
will spare them, as a man spareth
his own son that serveth him.
18 Then shall he return, and
discern between the righteous
and the wicked, between him
that serveth God and him that
serveth him not.
Mai. 4—1 For, behold, the day
Cometh, that shall burn as an oven ;
and all the protid, yea, and all that
do wickedly, shall be .stubble: and
the day that cometh shall bum
487
them up, saith the Lord of hosts,
that it shall leave them ueither
root nor branch.
2 But uuto vou that fear my
name shall the Sun of righteous-
ness arise with healing in his
wings; and ye shall go forth, and
grow up as calves of the stall.
3 And ye shall tread down the
wicked; for they shall be ashes
under the soles of your feet in the
day that I shall do this, saith
the Lord of hosts. .
5 Behold, 1 will send you Eli-
jah the prophet before the com-
ing of the great and dreadful day
of the Lord : , , ^ -.
6 And he shall turn the heart of
the fathers to the children, and
the heart of the children to their
fathers, lest I come and smite the
earth with a curse.

the mount of Olives, the disciples
came unto him privately, saying.
Tell us. when shall these things
be? and what shall be the sign
of thy coming, and of the end of
the world? , , .,
4 And Jesus answered and said
unto them. Take heed that no
man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my
name, saying, I am Christ; and
shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and
rumours of wars: see that ye be
not troubled: for all these things
must come to pass, but the end is
not yet. . , „ . . ,
7- For nations shall rise against
nation, and kingdom against
kingdom : and there shall be fam-
ines, and pestilences, and earth-
quakes, in divers places.
8 All these a»e the beginnmg of
sorrows, , ,.
9 Then shall they deliver you
up to be afflicted, and shall kill
you: and ye shall be hated of all
nations for my name's sake.
10 And then shall many be of-
fended, and shall betray one an-
other, and shall hate one another.
12 And because iniquity shall
abound, the love of many shall
wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto
the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the king-
dom shall be preached in all the
world for a witness unto all na-
tions; and then shall the end
come.
15 When ye shall see the abomi-
nation of desolation, spoken of by
Daniel, stand in the holy place,
(whoso readeth, let him under-
stand.) Da. 12, p. 247; Da. 8. 13.
P- 394. , ,.,,..
16 Then let them which be in
Judea liee into the mountains :
17 Let him which is on the
housetop not come down to take
any thing out of his house :
18 Neither let him which is m
the field return back to take his
clothes.
19 And woe unto them that are
with child, and to them that give
suck in those days !
20 But pray ye that your flight
be not in the winter, neither ou
the sabbath day:
21 For then shall be great tribu-
lation, such as was not since the
beginning of the world to this
tune. no. nor ever shall be.
(Lu. 21-24 And they shall fall by
the sword, and shall be led away
captive into all nations : and Jeru-
salem shall be trodden down of
the Gentiles, until the times of
the Gentiles be fulfilled. See Re.
11. 2, p. 285.) , , , , J
22 And except those days should
be shortened, there should no flesh
be saved : but for the elect's sake
those days shall be shortened.
23 Then if any man shall say.
Here is Christ ; believe it not.
24 For there shall arise false
Christs, and false prophets, and
shall shew great signs and won-
ders; insomuch that, if it were
possible, they shall deceive the
very elect.
26 Wherefore if they shall say
uuto vou. He is in the desert ; go
not forth: behold, he is in the
secret chambers; believe it not.
27 For as the lightning cometh
out of the east, and shineth even
unto the west; so shall also the
coming of the Sou of man he.
28 For wheresoever the carcass
is, there will the eagles be gath-
ered together. _•■
29 H Immediately after thei,n»-
488
Illation of those days shall the sun
be darkened, and the nioou shall
not give her light, and the stars
shall fall from heaven, and the
powers of the heavens shall be
shaken :
30 And then shall appear the
sign of the Son ol man in heaven:
and then shall all the tribes of the
earth mourn, and they shall see
the Son of man coming in the
clouds of heaven with power and
great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels
with a great sound of a trumpet,
and they shall gather together his
elect from the four winds, from
one end of heaven to the other.
32 Now learn a parable of the
fig tree ; When his branch is yet
tender, and putteth forth leaves,
ye know that summer is nigh :
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall
see all these things, know that it
is near, even at the doors.
34 Verily I say unto you. This
generation shall not pass, till all
these things be fulfilled.
a5 Heaven and earth shall pass
away, but my words shall not pass
away.
36 But of that day and hour
knoweth no man. no, not the an-
gels of heaven, but my Father
only.
37 But as the days of Noe were,
so shall also the coming of the
Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were
before the flood they were eating
and drinking, marrying and giv-
ing m marriage, until the day
that Noe entered into the ark.
39 And knew not until the Hood
came, and took them all away ; so
shall also the coming of the Son
of man be.
40 Then shall two be in the field ;
the one shall be taken, and the
other left.
41 Two women shall be grinding
at the mill ; the one shall he taken,
and the other left.
42 Watch therefore ; for ye know
not what hour your Lord doth
come.
43 But know this, that if the
goodman of the house had known
m what watch the thief would
come, he would have watched,
and would not have suffered his
house to be broken up.
44 Therefore be ye also ready:
for in such an hour as ye think not
the Son of man coraeth.
4.5 Who then is a faithful and
wise servant, whom his lord hath
made ruler over his household, to
give them meat in due season?
46 Blessed is that servant, whom
his lord when he cometh shall
find so doing.
47 Verily I say unto you. That
he shall make him ruler over all
his goods.
48 But and if that evil servant
shall say in his heart, My lord de-
layeth his coming;
49 And shall begin to smite his
fellow servants, and to eat and
drink with the drimken ;
50 The lord of that servant shall
come in a day when he looketh
not for him, and in an hour that
he is not aware of,
51 And shall cut him asunder,
and appoint him his portion with
the hypocrites: there shall be
weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Lu. 17—20 And when he was de-
manded of the Pharisees, when
the kingdom of God should come,
he answered them and said. The
kingdom of God cometh not with
observation :
21 Neither shall they say, Lo
here! or, lo there! for, behold,
the kingdom of God is within
you.
22 And he said unto the dis-
ciples. The days will come, when
ye shall desire to see one of the
days of the Son of man, and ye
shall not see it.
23 And they shall say to you. See
here; or, see there: go not after
them, nor follow them.
24 For as the lightning, that
lighteneth out of the one part un-
der heaven, shineth unto the
other part under heaven ; so shall
also the Son of man be in his day.
25 But first must he. suffer many
things, and be rejected of this
generation.
26 And as it was in the days of
Noe, so shall it be also in the days
of the Son of man,
27 They did eat, they drank,
they married wives, they were
given in marriage, until the day
that Noe entered intothe ark, and
the flood came, and destroyed
them all.
28 Likewise also as it was in the
days of Lot; they did eat, they
drank, they bought, they sold,
they planted, they buildeo.;
29 But the same day that Lot
went out of Sodom it rained fire
489
and brimstone from heaven, and
destroyed tliem all.
SOEventhusshali it be in theday
when the Sou of man is revealed.
31 In that day, he which shall be
upon the housetop, and his stuff in
the house, let him not come down
to take it away : and he that is in
the field, let him likewise not re-
turn back.
32 Remember Lot's wife.
33 Wliosoever shall seek to save
his life shall lose it; and whoso-
ever shall lose his life shall pre-
serve it.
34 I tell you, in that night there
shall be two men in one bed ; the
one shall be taken, and the other
shall be left.
35 Two women shall be grinding
together; the one shall be taken,
and the other left.
36 Two men shall be in the field ;
the one shall be taken, and the
other left.
37 And they answered and said
unto him. Where. Lord? And he
said unto them. Wheresoever the
body is, thither will the eagles be
gathered together. See Lu. 21.
THE LAST JUDGMENT.
Mat. 25—31 When the Son of man
shall come in his glory, and all
the holy angels with him. then
shall he sit upon the throne of his
glory:
32 And before him shall be gath-
ered all nations: and he shall sep-
arate them one from another, as
a shepherd divideth his sheep
from tne goats:
33 And he shall set the sheep on
his right hand, but the goats on
the left.
34 Then shall the King say unto
them on his right hand. Gome, ye
blessed of my Father, inherit the
kingdom prepared for you from
the foundation of the world :
36 For I was a hungered, and ye
gave me meat: 1 was thirsty, and
ye gave me drink : I was a stran-
ger, and ye took me in :
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I
was sick, and ye visited me: I was
in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 Then shall the righteous an-
swer him, saying. Lord, when saw
we thee a hungered, and fed thee?
or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 When saw we thee a stranger,
and took thee in? or naked, and
clothed thee?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or
in pri.son, and came unto thee?
40 And the King shall answer
and say unto them. Verily I say
unto you. Inasmuch as ye have
done It unto one of the least of
these my brethren, ye have done
it unto me.
41 Then shall he say also unto
them on the left hand. Depart
from me, ye cursed, into everlast-
ing fire, prepared for the devil and
his angels:
42 For I was a hungered, and ye
gave me no meat : 1 was thirsty,
and ye gave them no drink:
43 I was a stranger, and ye took
me not in: naked, and ye clothed
me not: sick, and in prison, and
ye visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answer
him, saying. Lord, when saw we
thee a hungered, or athirst. or a
stranger, or naked, or sick, or in
prison, and did not minister unto
thee?
45 Then shall he answer them,
saying. Verily I say unto you. In-
asmuch as ye did it not to' one of
the least of these, ye did it not to
me.
46 And these shall go away into
everlasting punishment: but the
righteous mto life eternal.
1 Th. 4—13 But I would not have
you to be ignorant^ brethren, con-
cerning them which are asleep,
that ye sorrow not, even as others
which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus
died and rose again, even so them
also which sleep in Jesus will God
bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by
the word of the Lord, that we
which are alive and remain unto
the coining of the Lord shall not
prevent them which are asleep.
16 For tlie Lord himself shall de-
scend from heaven with a shout,
with the voice of the archangel,
and with the trump of God : and
the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and
remain shall becaught up together
with them in the clouds, to meet
the Lord in the air: and so shall
we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one an-
other with these words.
2 Fe. 3—3 Knowing this first,
that there shall come in tlie last
days scoffers, walking after their
own lusts.
490
4 And saying. Where is the
promise of his coming ? for smce
the fathers fell asleep, all things
continue as they were from the
beginning of the creation.
5 Eor this they willingly are ig-
norant of. that by the word of
God the heavens were of old, and
the earth standing out of the
water and in the water :
6 Whereby the world that then
was, being overflowed with water,
perished;
7 But the heavens and the earth,
which are now, by the same word
are kept in store, reserved unto
tire against the day of judgment
and perdition of ungodly men. p.
115.
Re. 1—1 The Revelation of Jesus
Christ, which God gave unto him,
to shew his servants things which
must shortly come to pass; and
he sent and signified it by his
angel unto his servant John :
2 Who bare record of the word
of God, and of the testimony of
Jesus Christ, and of all things that
he saw. , , ,
3 Blessed is he that readeth, and
they that hear the words of this
prophecy, and keep those things
which are written therein : for the
time is at hand. p. 253.
7 Behold.hecometh with clouds ;
and every eye shall see him, and
they also which pierced him: and
all kindreds of the earth shall wail
because of him. Even so. Amen.
8 I am Alpha and Omega, the
beginning and the ending, saith
the Lord, which is, and which
was, and which is to come, the
Almighty.
9 I John, who also am your
brother, and companion in tribu-
lation, and in the kingdom and
patience of Jesus Christ, was m
the isle that is called Patmos, for
the word of God, and for the testi-
mony of Jesus Christ.
10 I was in the Spirit on the
Lord's day, and heard behind me
a great voice, as of a trumpet,
11 Saying,! am Alpha and Ome-
ga, the first and the last.
12 And I turned to see the voice
that spake. And 1 saw seven gol-
den candlesticks, p. 258.
13 And in the midst of the seven
candlesticks one like unto the Son
of man, clothed with a garment
down to the foot, and girt about
the paps with a golden girdle.
14 His head and his hairs were
white like wool, as white as snow ;
and his eyes were as a name of
fire. Da. 7. 9, p. 17. ..
15 And his feet like unto fine
brass, and his voice as the sound
of many waters. Re. 2. 18.
16 And he had in his right hand
seven stars: and out of his mouth
went a sharp twoedged sword:
and his countenance was as the
sun shineth m his strength, p. 258.
17 And when I saw him. I fell at
his feet as dead. And he laid his
hand upon me. saying, Fear not ;
1 am the first and the last :
18 I am he that liveth, and was
dead ; and, behold, I am alive for
evermore, Amen; and have the
keys of hell and of death.
Christ as an angel, and Christ
before the world was. p. 490 to 496.
The old Bible makes no mention
of Christ, under the name of
Christ, either as an angel or as the
Son of God ; in fact, there is no
mention made in the old Bible of
a Son of God. The angels are
classed as sons of God, Job. 38. 7,
p. 8; men as sons of God, Ge. 6. 2,
p. 185; Christians as sons of God,
p. 43; and the children of Israel as
sons of God, Ho. 1. 10, p. 480. For
all names attributed to Christ (or
to the one who was to come to be
the king of the Jews) in the old or
new Bible, see Christ's various
names and titles, p. 503. Jesus
Christ is the name of the son
of Mary, the wife of Joseph,
Mat. 1. 18-21, p. 496. Luke says,
supposed to be the son of Joseph,
Lu. 3. 23, p. 499. Christ himself
said that he was the Son of God.
(Mar. 14—61 Again the high
priest asked him. Art thou the
Christ, the Son of the Blessed ?
62 And Jesus said. I am.
Jno. 10—36 Say ye of him, whom
the Father hath sanctified, and
sent into the world. Thou blas-
phemest; because I said, I am the
Son of God ? See also Jno. 9. 35-
37, Mat. 16. 16, p. 608.) . , ^ ^
And also that he was with God
before the world was. Jno. 17. 5, p.
496. Micah, in writing about the
future ruler of Israel who was to
come out of Bethlehem, said,
" Whose goings forth have been
of old, from everlasting," Mi. 5.
2, p. 481.
4^
■It is claimed by some people
that Christ, the son of Mary, was
that ruler; and it is also claimed
by other people that he was not
that ruler. Those who are inter-
ested in this subject can find all
the information the Bible gives
on it in the first and second com-
ing of Christ, p. 467-490. Christ,
the son of Mary, said that Abi-a-
hani "rejoiced to see his day, and
saw it, and was glad," see Jno. 8.
.5G, p. 496, and Ge. 18. 1-8. p. 491. In
Ge. 18. 1-8, it says the Lord appear-
ed unto Abraham, and Christian
Bible writers tell us that that Lord
was Jesus Christ, the angel. At
any rate, it appears that Abraham
was glad to see the Lord, and en-
tertained him and his two compan-
ions in a very hospitable manner;
and they did eat and drink what
Abraham set before them. It is
supposed that this is the meeting
that Christ referred to in Jno. 8.
56, p. 496. But how could he be
that Lord whom Abraham enter-
tained nineteen hundred years be-
fore he was born of the Virgin
Mary? It is claimed (and that is
all) that Christ, the son of Mary,
was possessed of the spirit of the
Lord, the angel ; or, at least, was
born with that spirit in him. If
this was so, then what became of
the Lord, the angel? The Bible
does not explain this; and it does
not seem to be understood by any
person, except the paid teachers,
and a certain few who have gain-
ed tbeir knowledge from those
teachers. It is also claimed <^hat
Olirist was the angel, the Lord,
w h from heaven stayed the hand
of Abraham when he was about to
slay his son Isaac Ge. 22. 10, p. 492).
and the man who wrestled all
night with Jacob, and changed
his name to Israel (hence th chil-
dren of Israel), and also caused
the sinew of Jacob's thigh to
shrink; and "the children of Israel
eatnot of the sinew which shrank,
which is upon the hollow of the
thigh unto this day" (Ge. 32. 24-
32, p. 492). The Lord, the angel
Christ, also appeared unto Moses
in a burning bush (see Ex. 3. 2, p.
150) (and a short time after that
meeting, the Lord sought to kill
him) (Ex. 4. 24, p. 1.51 ; see also Ex.
23. 20, p. 405), and to Joshua, as the
captain of the Lord's host (Jos. 6.
14, p. 492), and to the children of Is-
rael in Bochim (Ju. 2. 1, p. 492), and
to Gideon, and gave hun the sign
of the Fleece of Wool, and also
instructed him how to defeat the
Midianites. with three hundred
men, armed with pitchers, lamps,
and swords, which he did : "for
there fell one hundred and twenty
thousand men that drew swords "
(see Ju. 6-8, p. 493-49.5). Christ also
appeared as an angel to Manoah
and his wife, and promised them
ason,— Samson,— "Who was to be-
gin to deliver the children of Is-
rael out of the hand of the Philis-
tines." Then Manoah offered a
burnt offering unto the Lord;
"and it came to pass when the
flame went up toward heaven,
from off tbe altar, that the angel
of the Lord ascended in the flame
of the altar" (Ju. 13. 2-24, p. 495).
See also the Lord's promise to
Abraliam and Sarah (Ge. 17 and
18, p. 180),~ and Abraham inter-
cedeth for Sodom (Ge. 18. 20-33).
Ge. 18—1 And the Lord appear-
ed unto him in the plains of
Mamre: and he sat in the tent
door in the heat of the day ;
2 And he lifted up his eyes and
looked, and, lo, three men stood
by him: and when he saw them,
he ran to meet them, and bowed
himself toward the ground,
3 And said. My Lord, if now I
have fomid favour in thy sight,
pass not away, I pray thee, from
thy servant:
4 Let a little water, I pray you.
be fetched, and wash your feet,
and rest yourselves under the
tree :
5 And I will fetch a morsel of
bread, and comfort ye yonr
hearts; after that ye shall pass
on: for therefore are ye come to
your servant. And they said, So
do, as thou hast said.
6 And Abraham hastened into
the tent unto Sarah, and said.
Make ready quickly three meas-
ures of tine meal, knead it, and
make cakes upon the hearth.
7 And Abraham ran unto the
herd, and fetched a calf tender
and good, and gave it unto a
young man to dress it.
8 And he took butter, and milk,
and the calf which he had dress-
ed, and set it before them; and
he stood by them under the tree,
and thev did eat. p. 180.
492
Ge. 22—1 And it came to pass,
that God did tempt Abraham, and
said unto him,
2 Take now thy son, thine only
son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and
!^et thee into the land of Moriah ;
and offer him there for a burnt
offering upon one of the moun-
tains whicn I will tell thee of.
3 And Abraham rose up early in
the morning, and saddled his ass,
and took two of his young men
with him, and Isaac his son, and
clave the wood for the burnt offer-
ing, and went unto the place of
which God had told him.
4 Then on the third day Abra-
ham lifted up his eyes, and saw
the place afar off.
5 And Abraham said unto his
young men. Abide ye here with
the ass; and I and the lad will go
yonder and worship, and come
again to you.
6 And Abraham took the wood,
and laid it upon Isaac his son ; and
he took the fire in his hand, and
a knife ; and they went both of
them together.
7 And Isaac spake unto his fath-
er, and said. Behold the fire and
the wood : but where is the lamb
for a burnt offering?
8 And Abraham said. My son,
God will provide himself a lamb
for a burnt offering.
9 And they came to the place;
and Abraham built an altar there,
and laid the wood in order, and
bound Isaac his son, and laid him
on the altar upon the wood.
10 And Abraham stretched forth
his hand, and took the knife to
slay his son.
11 And the Angel of the Lord
called unto him out of heaven,
and said,
12 Lay not thine hand upon the
lad, neither do thou any thing
unto him: for now i know that
thou f earest God, seeing thou hast
not withheld thy son, thine only
son, from me.
13 And Abraham looked, and
behold behind him a ram caught
in a thicket by his horns: and
Abraham went and took the ram,
and offered him up for a burnt
offering, vrs. 15-18, p. 263.
19 So Abraham returned unto
his young men, and they rose up
and went together to Beersheba ;
and dwelt there.
Ge. 32—24 Jacob was left alone ;
and there wrestled a man with
him until the break of day.
25 And when he saw that he pre-
vailed not against him, he touched
the hollow of his thigh ; and the
hollow of Jacob's thigh was out
of joint, as he wrestled with him.
26 And he said. Let me go, for
the day breaketh. And he said, I
will not let thee go, except thou
bless me.
27 And he said unto him. What
is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
28 And he said. Thy name shall
be called no more Jacob, but Is-
rael: for as a prince hast thou
power with God and with men,
and hast prevailed.
29 And Jacob asked him, and
said. Tell me, I pray thee, thy
name. And he said. Wherefore is
it that thou dost ask after my
name? And he blessed him there.
30 And Jacob called the name of
the place Peniel: for I have seen
God face to face, and my life is
preserved.
31 And as he passed over Penuel
the sun rose upon him, and he
halted upon his thigh.
32 Therefore the children of Is-
rael eat not of the sinew which
slirank, which is upon the hollow
of the thigh, unto this day; be-
cause he touched the hollow of
Jacob's thigh.
Jos. 5—13 When Joshua was by
Jericho, there stood a man over
against him with his sword drawn
in his hand: and Joshua went,
and said unto him. Art thou for
us, or for our adversaries?
14 And he said. Nay; but as cap-
tain of the host of the Lord am I
now come. And Joshua fell on
his face to the earth, and did wor-
ship, and said unto him. What
saitii my lord unto his servant ?
15 And the captain of the Lord's
ho!3t said unto Joshua, Loose thy
shoe from off thy foot; for the
place whereon thou stand est is
holy. And Joshua did so. p. 406.
Ju. 2—1 And an Angel of the
Lord came up from Gflgal to Bo-
chim, and said, I made you to go
up out of Egypt, and have brought
you unto the land which I sware
unto your fathers; and I said, I
will never break my covenant
with you.
493
2 And ye shall make no league
with the inhabitants of this land ;
ye shall throw down their altars:
but ye have not obeyed my voice ;
why have ye done this?
3 Wherefore I also said, I will
not drive them out from before
you ; but they shall be as thorns
in your sides, and their gods shall
be a snare unto you.
4 And it came to pass, when the
Angel of the Lord spake these
words mito all the children of Is-
rael, that the people lifted up
their voice, and wept.
5 And they called the name of
that place Bochim : and they sac-
rificed there vuito the Lord.
Ju. 6—11 And there came an an-
gel of the Lord, and sat under an
oak which was in Ophrah, that
pertained unto Joash : and his son
Gideon threshed wheat by the
winepress, to hide it from the
Midiauites. ^ ,
12 And the angel of the Lord
appeared unto him, and said unto
him. The Lord is with thee, thou
mighty man of valour. .
13 And Gideon said unto him, O
my Lord, if the Lord be with us,
why then is all this befallen us?
and. where be all his miracles
which our fathers told us of, say-
ing, Did not the Lord bring us up
from Egypt? but now the Lord
hath forsaKen us, and delivered us
into the hands of the Midianites.
14 And the Lord looked upon
him, and said. Go in this thy
might, and thou shalt save Israel
from the hand of the Midianites:
have not I sent thee? p. 120.
17 And he said unto him, If now
I have found grace in thy sight,
then shew me a sign that thou
talkest with me.
18 Depart not hence, I pray thee,
until I come unto thee, and bring
forth my present, and set it before
thee. And he said, I will tarry
until thou come again.
19 II And Gideon went in, and
made ready a kid, and unleavened
cakes of an ephah of flour: the
flesh he put in a basket, and he
put the broth in a pot, and brought
it out unto him under the oak,
and presented it. , , ^ , . ,
20 And the angel of God said
unto him. Take tlie flesh and the
unleavened cakes, and lay them
upon this rock, and pour out the
broth. And he did so.
21 Then the angel of the Lord
put forth the end of the staff that
was in his Ijand, and touched the
flesh and the unleavened cakes;
and there rose up fire out of the
rock, and consumed the flesh and
the unleavened cakes. Then the
angel of the Lord departed out of
his sight. .
22 And when Gideon perceived
that he was an angel of the Lord,
Gideon said. Alas, O Lord God!
for because I have seen an angel
of the Lord face to face.
23 And the Lord said unto him,
Peace be unto thee ; fear not : thou
shalt not die.
36 And Gideon said unto God,
If thou wilt save Israel by mine
hand, as thou hast said,
37 Behold, I will put a fleece of
wool in the floor ; and if the dew
be on the fleece only, and it be dry
upon all the earth besides, then
shall I know that thou wilt save
Israel by mine hand, as thou hast
said.
38 And it was so : for he rose up
early on the moiTOW, and thrust
the fleece together, and wringed
the dew out of the fleece, a bowl
full of water. ^ ■, t ^
39 And Gideon said unto God, Let
not thine anger be hot against me,
and I will speak but this once: let
me prove,'! pray thee, but this once
with the fleece ; let it now be dry
only upon the fleece, and upon
all the ground let there be dew.
40 And God did so that night:
for it was dry upon the fleece
only, and there was dew on all
the ground. , , , , •
Je. 7—1 Then Jenibbaal, who is
Gideon, and the people that were
with him, rose up early, and
pitched beside the well of Harod:
so that the host of the Midianites
were on the north side of them,
by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.
2 And the Lord said. The peo-
ple that are with thee are too
many for me to give the Midian-
ites into their hands, lest Israel
vaunt themselves against me, say-
iug.Mine ownhand hath saved me.
3 Now therefore go to, proclaim
in the ears of the people, saying.
Whosoever is fearful and afraid,
let him return and depart early
from mount Gilead. And there
returned of the people twenty and
twothousand ; andthere remained
ten thousand.
494
4 And the Lord said uuto Gid-
eon, The people are yet too many;
bring them down unto the water,
and I will try them for thee there :
and it shall be, that of whom I
say imto thee. This shall go with
thee, the same shall go with thee ;
and of whomsoever I say unto
thee. This shall not go with thee,
the same shall not go.
5 So he brought down the peo-
ple unto the water: and the Lord
said unto Gideon, Every one that
lappeth of the water with his
tongue, as a dog lappeth, him
shaft thou set by himself; like-
wise everyone that boweth down
upon his knees to drink.
6 And the number of them that
lapped, putting their hand to
their mouth, were three hundred
men: but all the rest of the peo-
ple bowed down upon their knees
to drink water.
7 And the Lord said unto Gid-
eon, By the three hundred men
that lapped will I save you, and
deliver the Midianites into thine
hand: and let all the other people
go every man unto his place.
8 So the people took victuals in
their hand, and their trumpets:
and he sent all the rest of Israel
every man unto his tent, and re-
tained those three hundred men:
and the host of Midian was be-
neath him iu the valley.
9 And it came to pass the same
night, that the Lord said uuto
him, Arise, get thee down unto
the host ; for I have delivered it
into thine hand.
10 But if thou fear to go down,
go thou with Phurah thy servant
down to the host:
11 And thou Shalt hear what
they say; and afterward shall
thine hands be strengthened to
go down unto the host. Then
went he down with Phurah his
servant uuto the outside of the
armed men that were in the host.
13 And when Gideon was come,
behold, there was a man that told
a dream unto his fellow, and said,
I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a
cake of barley bread tumbled
into the host of Midian, and came
unto a tent, and smote it that it
fell.
14 And his fellow answered and
said. This is nothing else save the
sword of Gideon the son of Joash,
a man of Israel : for into his hand
hath God delivered Midian.
15 And it was so, when Gideon
heard thetellingof the dream.and
the interpretation thereof, that
he worshipped, and returned into
the host of Israel, and said. Arise ;
for the Lord hath delivered into
your hand the host of Midian.
16 And he divided the three
hundred men into three com-
panies, and he put a trumpet in
every man's hand, with empty
pitchers, and lamps within the
pitchers.
17 And he said unto them. Look
on me, and do likewise: and, be-
hold, when Icome to the ttutside
of the camp, it shall be that, as I
do, so shall ye do.
18 When 1 blow with a truinp-
et, I and all that are with me,
then bloTv ye the trumpets also
on every side of all the camp, and
say. The swoxd of the Lord, and
of Gideon.
19 So Gideon, and the hundred
men that were with him, came
unto the outside of the camp in
the beginning of the middle
watch; and they had but newly
set the watch: and they blew the
trumpets, and brake the pitchers
that were iu their hands.
20 And the three companies
blew the trumpets, and brake the
pitchers, and held the lamps in
their left hands, and the trumpets
in their right hands to blow
withal : and they cried. The sword
of the Lord, and of Gideon.
21 And they stood evei'y man
in his place rouud about the
camp: and all the host ran, and
cried, and fled.
22 And the three hundred blew
the trumpets, and the Lord set
every man's sword against his fel-
low, even throughout all the host :
and the host fled.
23 And the men of Israel gath-
ered themselves together, and
pursued after the Midianites.
Ju. 8—4 And Gideon came to
Jordan, and passed over, he, and
the three hundred men that were
with him,faint, yet pursuing after
Zebah aud Zalmunna, kings of
Midian.
10 Now Zebah and Zalmunna
were in Karkor. and their hosts
with them, about fifteen thou-
sand men, all that were left of all
the hosts of the children of the
east ; for there fell a hundred and
twenty thousand men that drey
sword.

11 And Gideou went up by the
way of them that dwelt m tents
on the euBt of Nobah and Jogbe-
hah. and smote the host: tor the
host was secure. ■■ r, ,
12 And when Zebah and Zal-
muuna tied, he pursued alter
them, and took the two kmgs of
Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna,
and discomfited all the host.
13 And Gideon the son ot Joash
returned from battle before the
sun was up. ^ ^i e
15 And he came unto the men ot
Succoth, , , ■ , . ^,
16 And he took the elders of the
city, and thorns of the wilderness,
and briers, and with them he
taught the men of Succoth.
17 And he beat down the tower
of Penuel, and slew the men ot
the city. „ , , j
18 Then said he unto Zebah and
Zalmunna. What manner of men
were they whom ye slew at la-
bor? And tliey answered Asthou
art, so were they; each one re-
sembled the children of a king.
19 And he said. They were my
brethren, even the sons of my
mother: as the Lokd liveth, it ye
had saved them alive, I would
not slay you. ^ t .i i,-
20 And he said unto Jether his
firstborn. Up. and slay them. But
the youth drew not his sword: for
he feared, because he was yet a
^*2\ Then Zebah and Zalmunna
said. Rise thou, and fall upon us:
for as the man is, so is his strength.
And Gideon arose, and slew Zebah
and Zalmunna. p. 266.
28 Thus was Midian subdued
before the children of Israel, so
that they lifted up their heads no
more. And the country was m
quietness forty years in the days
of Gideon. ___
Ju. 13—2 And there was a certam
man of Zorah, of the family of the
Dauites, whose name was Ma-
noah; and his wife was barren,
and bare not. . , , t
3 And the angeJ of the Lord
appeared unto the woman, and
said unto her, Behold now, tliou
art barren, and bearest not: but
thou Shalt conceive, and bear a
son. , , .
4 Now therefore beware, I pray
thee, and drink not wine nor
strong drink, and eat not any un-
clean thing :
5 For. lo. thou Shalt conceive,
and bear a sou ; and no razor shalL
come on his head: for the child
shall be a Nazarite unto God from
the womb: and he shall begin ta
deliver Israel out of the hand ot
the Philistines. , ^,
15 And Manoah said unto the
angel of the Lord. I pray thee, let
us detain thee, until we shall
have made ready a kid for thee.
16 And the angel of the Lord
said unto Manoah. Though thou
detain me. I will not eat of thy
bread: and if thou wilt ofter a
bui'nt offering, thou must otter it
unto the Lord. For Manoah
knew not that he was an angel ot
the Lord. , . ■, ^ ^-u
17 And Manoah said unto the
angel of the Lord. What is thy
name, that when thy saymgscome
to pass we may do thee honour?
18 And the angel of the Lord
said unto him. Why askest thou
thus after my name, seemg it is
secret? , ■ . ^ .^.
19 8o Manoah took a kid with a
meat offering, and offered it upon
a rock unto the Lord: and the
angel did wondrously; and Ma-
noah and his wife looked on.
20 For it came to pass, when the
flame went up toward heaven
from off the altar, that the angel
of the Lord ascended in the tiame
of the altar: and Manoah and his
vfiie looked on it. and fell on their
faces to the ground.
21 But the angel of the Lord
did no more aiipear to Manoah and
to his wife. Then Manoah knew
that he was an angel of the Lord.
22 And Manoah said unto his
wife, We shall sm-elydie. because
we have seen God.
23 But his wife said unto him.
If the Lord were pleased to kill.
us, he would not have recevyed a^
burnt offering and a meat offering-
at our hands, neither would he
have shewed us all these things,
nor would as at this time have
told us such things as these.
24 And the woman bare a son,
and called his name Samson: and
the child grew, and the Lord
blessed him.
JESUS CHRIST BEFORE THE
WORLD WAS.
Mi. 5—2 But thou, Beth-lehem
Ephratah, though thou be lit*i®
among the thousands of Judah,
496
yet out of thee shall he come forth
unto me that is to be ruler in
Israel; whose goings forth have
been from of old, from everlast-
ing, p. 481.
Jno. 6—36 Fori came down from
heaven, not to do mine own will,
but the will of him that sent me.
62 What and if ye shall see the
Son of man ascend up where he
was before ?
Jno. 8—42 Jesus said unto them.
If God were your Father, ye would
love me : for Iproceeded forth and
came from God; neither came I
of myself, but he sent me.
53 Art thou greater than our
father Abraham, which is dead ?
and the prophets are dead: whom
makest thou thyself ?
54 Jesus answered. If I honour
myself, my honour is nothing : it is
my Father that hououreth me ; of
wnom ye say, that he is your God :
55 Yet ye have not known him ;
but I know him: and if 1 should
say, I know him not, I shall be a
liar like unto you: but 1 know
him, and keep his saying.
56 Your father Abrahamrejoiced
to see my day : and he saw it, and
was glad.
57 Then said the Jews unto him,
Thou art not yet fifty years old,
and hast thou seen Abraham ?
58 Jesus said unto them. Verily,
verily, I say unto you. Before
Abraham was, I am.
59 Then took they up stones to
cast at him : but Jesus hid him-
self, and went out of the temple,
going through the midst of them,
and so passed by.
Jno. 17—5 And now, O Father,
glorify thou me with thine own
self with the glory which I had
with thee before the world was.
24 Father, I will that they also,
whom thou hast given me, be with
me where I am ; that they may be-
hold my glory, which thou hast
given me : for thou lovedst me be-
fore the foundation of the world.
iPe. 1—18 Ye were not redeemed
with corruptible things,
19 But with the precious blood
of Christ :
20 Who verily was foreordained
before the foundation of the
world.
BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST.
Mat. 1—18 Now the birth of Jesus
Christ was on this wise: When as
his mother Mary was espoused to
Joseph, before they came to-
gether, she was found with child
of the Holy Ghost.
19 Then Joseph her husband,
being a just man, and not willing
to make her a public example,
was minded to put her away
privily.
•20 But while he thought on these
things, behold, the angel of the
Lord appeared unto him in a
dream, saying, Joseph, thou son
of David, fear not to take unto
thee Mary thy wife: for that
which is conceived in her is of
the Holy Ghost.
21 And she shall bring forth a
son, and thou shalt call his name
JESUS: for he shall save his peo-
ple from their sins.
22 Now all this was done, that
it might be fulfilled which was
spoken of the Lord by the prophet,
saying,
23 Behold, a virgin shall be with
child, and shall bring forth a son,
and they shall call his name Em-
manuel, which being interpreted
is, God with us. Is. 7. 14, p. 468.
24 Then Joseph being raised
from sleep did as the angel of the
Lord had bidden him, and took
unto him his wife:
25 And knew her not till she had
brought forth her hrstboni son:
and he called his name JESUS.
Mat. 2—1 Now when Jesus was
born in Bethlehem of Judea in
the days of Herod the king, be-
hold, there came wise men from
the east to Jerusalem,
2 Saying, Where is he that is
bom King of the Jews ? for we
have seen his star in the east, and
are come to worship him.
3 When Herod the king had
heard these things, he was trou-
bled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 And when he had gathered all
the chief priests and scribes of the
people together, he demanded of
them where Christ shoxild be
bom.
5 And they said unto him. In
Bethlehem of Judea: for thus it
is written by the prophet,
6 And thou Bethlehem, in the
land of Juda, art not the least
among the princes of Juda: for
497
out of thee shall come a Governor,
that shall rule my people Israel.
Ml. 5. 2, p. 481.
7 Then Herod, when he had priv-
ily called the wise men, inquired
of them diligently what time the
star appeared.
8 And he sent them to Bethle-
hem, and said. Go and search dili-
gently for the young child : and
when ye have found him, bring
me word again, that I may come
and worship him also.
»When they had heard the king,
they departed ; and, lo, the star,
which they saw in the east, went
before them, till it came and stood
over where the young child was.
10 When they saw tne star, they
rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
11 H And when they were come
into the house, they saw the young
child with Mary his mother, and
fell down, and worshipped him:
and when they had opened their
treasures, theypresented unto him
gifts; gold, and frankincense, and
myrrh.
12 And being warned of God in
a dream that they should not re-
turn to Herod, they departed into
their own country another way.
ISAnd when they were departed,
behold, the angel of the Lord ap-
peareth to .Joseph in a dream, say-
mg. Arise, and take the young
child and his mother, and flee into
Egypt, and be thou there imtil I
bring thee word: for Herod will
seek the young child to destroy
him.
14 When he arose, he took the
young child and his mother by
night, and departed into Egypt :
15 And was there until the death
of Herod: that it might be ful-
filled which was spoken of the
Lord by the prophet, saying, Out
of Egypt have I called my sou.
(vis. 16-18 and Je. 31. 15-17, p. 203.)
19 But when Herod was dead,
behold, an angel of the Lord ap-
peareth in a dream to Joseph m
Egypt. .
20 baymg. Arise, and take the
young child and his mother, and
go into the land of Israel : for they
are dead which sought the young
child's life.
21 And he arose, and took the
young child and his mother, and
came into the land of Israel.
22 But when he heard that Ar-
chelaus did reign in Judea in the
room of his father Herod, he was
afraid to go thither: notwith-
standing, being warned of God in
a dream, he turned aside into the
parts of Galilee:
23 And he came and dwelt in a,
city called Nazareth : that itmight
be fulfilled which was spoken by
the prophets. He shall be called a,
Nazarene.
Lu. 1—26 And in the sixth month
the angel Gabriel was sent from
God unto a city of Galilee, named
Nazareth,
27 To a virgin espoused to a man
whose name was Joseph, of the
house of David ; and the vii'gin's
name was Mary.
28 And the angel came, and
said. Hail, that thou art highly
favoured, the Lord is with thee:
blessed art thou among women.
29 And when she saw him, she
was troubled at his saying, and
cast in her mind what manner of
salutation this should be.
30 And the angel said unto her.
Fear not. Mary: for thou hast
found favour with God.
31 And, behold, thou shalt con-
ceive in thy womb, and bring
forth a son, and shalt call his
name JESUS. Is. 9. 6, p. 468.
32 He shall be great, and shall be
called the Son of the Highest ; and
the Lord God shall give unto him
the throne of his father David :
33 And he shall reign over the
house of Jacob for ever: and of
his kingdom there shall be no
end.
34 Then said Mary unto the an-
gel. How shall this be, seehig I
know not a man?
35 And the angel answered and
said unto her. The Holy Ghost
shall come upon thee, and the
power of the Highest shall over-
shadow thee : therefore also that
holy thing which shall be bom of
thee shall be called the Son of
God.
36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisa-
beth, she hath also conceived a
son in her old age ; and this is the
sixth month with her. who was
called barren.
37 For with God nothing shall
be impossible.
38 And Mary said. Behold the
handmaid of the Lord ; be it unto
me according to thy word. And
the angel departed from her. p.
501.
498
Lu. 2—1 And it came to pass in
those days, that there went out a
decree from Cesar Aixgiistus, that
all the world should be taxed.
•2 CAnd this taxing was first made
when Cyrenius was governor of
Syria.)
3 And all went to be taxed, eyery
one into his own city.
4 And Joseph also went up from
Galilee, out of the city of Nazar-
eth, into Judea, unto the city of
David, which is called Bethle-
hem, (;because he was of the house
and lineage of David,)
5 To be taxed with Mary his
espoused wife, being great with
child. , , ., ,
6 And so it was, that, while they
-were there, the days were accom-
plished that she should be deliv-
ered. , ' .
7 And she brought forth her
firstborn sou, and wrapped him in
swaddling clothes, and laid him
in a manger ; because there was no
room for them in the inn.
8 And there were in the same
country shepherds abiding in the
field, keeping watch over their
tiock by night. , , ^ ■,
9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord
came upon them, and the glory of
the Lord shone round about them ;
and they were sore afraid.
10 And the angel said unto them.
Fear not: for, behold, I bring you
good tidings of great joy, which
shall be to all people. .
11 For unto you is bom this day
in the city of David a Saviour,
which is Christ the Lord.
12 And this shall be a sign unto
you; Ye shall find the babe wrap-
ped in swaddluig clothes, lying in
a manger.
13 And suddenly there was with
the angel a multitude of the heav-
enly host praising God, and say-
ing,
14 Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace, good will to-
ward men.
15 And it came to pass, as the
angels were gone away from them
into heaven, the shepherds said
one to another. Let us n6w go
even unto Bethlehem, and see
this thing which is come to pass,
which the Lord hath madeknown
unto ug. . , , \^
16 And they came with haste,
and found Mary and Joseph, and
the babe lying in a manger.
17 And when they had seen it,
theymade known abroad the say-
ing which was told them concern-
ing this child.
18 And all they that heard it
wondered at those things which
were told them by the shepherds.
19 But Mary kept all these things,
and pondered them, in her heart.
20 And the shepherds returned,
glorifying and praising God for all
the things that they had heard
and seen, as it was told unto
them.
21 And when eight days were
accomplished for the circumcismg
of tlie child, his name was called
JESUS, which was so named of
the angel before he was conceived
in the womb.
22 And when the days of her
purification according to the law
of Moses were accomplished, they
brought him to Jerusalem, to pre-
sent him to the Lord ;
23 (As it is written in the law of
the Lord, Every male that openeth
the womb shall be called holy to
the Lord.) Ex. 13. 2, p. 25.
39 And when they had performed
all things according to the law of
the Lord, they returned into Gali-
lee, to their own city Nazareth.
40 And the child grew, and
waxed strong in spirit, filled with
wisdom; and the grace of God
was upon him.
41 Now his parents went to Je-
rusalerh every year at the feast of
the passover.
42 And when he wast;welve years
old, they went up, to Jerusalem
after the custom of the feast.
43 And when they had fulfilled
the days, as they returned, the
child Jesus tarried behiud m Je-
rusalem; and Joseph and his
mother knew not of it.
44 But they, supposing him to
have been in the company, went
a day's journey; and they sought
him among their kinsfolk and ac-
quaintance. , , .
45 And when they found him
not, they turned back again to
Jerusalem, seeking him. ,
46 And it came to pass, that
after three days they found him
in the temple, sitting in the midst
of the doctors, both heartagthem,
and asking them questions.
47 And all that heard him were
astonished at his understanding
and answers. '
199
48 And wheu they saw him, they
were amazed: audhismothersaid
uutohim, Son, why hast thoutlius
dealt with us? behold, thy father
and I have sought thee sorrowing.
49 And he said unto them. How
is it that ye sought me? wist ye
not that I must be about my Fa-
ther's business?
50 And they understood not the
saying which he spake unto them .
51 And he weut down with
them, and came to Nazareth, and
was subject unto them: but his
mother kept all these sayings in
her heart.
52 And JesuS; increased in wis-
dom and stature, and .in favour
with God and man.
Genealogy of Jesus Christ by
Matthew and Luke. You will see
that these two writers differ very
materially in tracing up the gen-
ealogy of Christ ; yet neither one
of them explain why they say,
God was the father of Jesus
Christ (Mat. 1. 18-20 and Lu. l.
32, 35, p. 496, 497), and then trace
his genealogy back from Joseph,
who was not his father. Other
writers say, Jesus Christ the son
of David, and also the Scribes
and Pharisees called him the son
of David, and Christ questioned
them for so doing ; for he himself
said. He was the son of God. See
the following and Mar. 14. 61-62
and Jno. 10. 36, p. 514, 109. The
prophets wrote about the coming
of Christ, or at least the one who
was to come and rule over Israel,
as the branch. " I will raise unto
David a righteous branch, and a
king shall reign and prosper,"
Je. 23. 5 following ; and also " Da-
vid my servant shall be king over
them." Eze. 37. 24, p. 479. See also
first coming of Christ, p. 467, etc.
Mat. 1—1 The book of the gen-
eration of Jesus Christ, the son of
David, the son of Abraham.

aud Amou begat Josias;
11 And Josias begat Jechonias
and his brethren, about the time
they were carried away to Baby-

12 And after they were brought
to Babylon, Jechoni.as begat Sala-

aud Eleazar begat Matthan ; and

16 And Jacob begat Joseph the

Abraham to David are fourteen
generations ; and from David un-
til the carrying away mto Baby-
lon are fourteen generations; and
from the carrying away into
Babylon unto Christ are fourteeu
generations.

were gathered together, Jesus
asked them,
42 Saying, What think ye of
Christ? whose sou is he? They
say unto him. The son of David.
43 He saith unto them, How
then doth David in spirit call
him Lord, saying.
44 The Lord said unto my Lord,
Sit thou on my right hand, till I
make thine enemies thy foot-
stool?
45 If David then called him
Lord, how is he his son?
46 And no man was able to an-
swer him a word, neither durst
any man from that day forth ask
him any more questions.
Mar. 12—35 And Jesus answered
and said, while he taught in the
temple, How say the scribes that
Christ is the son of David?
36 For David himself said by
the Holy Ghost, The Lord said to
my Lord, Sit thou on my right
hand, till I make thine enemies
thy footstool.
37 David therefore himself call-
eth him Lord ; and whence is he
then his son? And the common
people heard him gladly.
Lu. 20—41 And he said unto
them. How say they that Christ
is David's son?
42 And David himself saith in
the book of Psalms, The Lord
said unto my Lord, Sit thou on
my right hand,
43 lill I make thine enemies
thv footstool .
44 David therefore calleth him
Lord, how is he then his son?
501
Ps. 110—1 The Lord said unto
my Lord, Sit thou at my right
hand, until I make thine enemies
thy footstool.
2 The Lord shall send the rod
of thy strength out of Zion: rule
thouiu themidst of thine enemies.
3 Thy people shall be willing in
the day of tny power, in the beau-
ties of holiness from the womb of
the morning: thou hast the dew
of thy youth.
4 The Lord hath sworn, and
will not repent. Thou art a priest
for ever after the order of Mel-
chizedek. p. 223.
5 The Lord at thy right hand
shall strike through kings in the
day of his wrath.
6 He shall judge among the hea-
then, he shall fill the places with
the dead bodies; he shall wound
the heads over many countries.
7 He shall drink of the brook in
the way : therefore shall he lift up
the head.
Je. 23—5 Behold, the days come,
saith the Lord, that I will raise
unto David a righteous Branch,
and a King shall reign and pros-
per, and shall execute judgment
and justice in the earth.
Birth of Johnthe Baptist, Christ's
second cousin, see Lu. 1. 26, p. 497.
Lu. 1—5 There was in the days
of Herod, the king of Judea, a
certain priest named Zacharias,
of the course of Abia : and his wife
was of the daughters of Aaron,
and her name was Elisabeth.
7 And they had no child, be-
cause that Elisabeth was barren ;
and they both were now well
stricken in years.
8 And it came to pass, that, while
he executed the priest's oihce be-
fore God in the order of his course,
11 There appeared mito him an
angel of the Lord standing on the
rignt side of the altar of in-
cense.
12 And when Zacharias saw him,
he was troubled, and fear fell up-
on him.
13 But the angel said imto him.
Fear not, Zacharias: for thy
prayer is heard; and thy wife
Elisabeth shall bear thee a son,
and thou shalt call his name
John.
14 And thou shalt have joy and
gladness; and many shall rejoice
at his birth.
15 For he shall be great in the
sight of the Lord, and shall drink
neither wine nor strong drink ;
and heshall be tilled with the Holy
Ghost, even from his mother's
womb.
16 And many of the children of
Israel shall he turn to the Lord
their God.
17 And he shall go before him in
the spirit and power of Elias, to
turn the hearts of the fathers to
the children, and the disobedient
to the wisdom of the just; to
make ready a people prepared for
the Lord.
18 And Zacharias said unto the
angel. Whereby shall I know this?
for I am an old man, and my wife
well stricken in years.
19 And the angel answering said
unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand
in the presence of God; and am
sent to speak unto thee, and to
shew thee these glad tidings.
20 And. behold, thou shalt be
dumb, and not able to speak, un-
til the day that these things shall
be performed, because thou be-
lie vest not my words, which shall
be fulfilled in their season.
24 And after those days his wife
Elisabeth conceived, and hid her-
self tive months, saying,
25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with
me in the days wherein he looked
on me, to take away my reproach
among men. p. 497.
39 And Mary arose in those days,
and went into the hill country
with haste, into a city of Juda;
40 And entered into the house of
Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
41 And it came to pass, that,
when Elisabeth heard the saluta-
tion of Mary, the babe leaped in
her womb; and Elisabeth was
filled with the Holy Ghost:
56 And Mary abode with her
about three months, and returned
to her own house.
57 Now Elisabeth's full time
came that shcishould be'delivered ;
and she brought forth a son.
59 And on the eighth day they
came to circumcise the child ; and
they called him Zacharias, after
the name of his father.
60 And his mother answered and
said. Not so ; but he shall be called
John.
502
62 And they made signs to his
father, how he would have him
called.
63 And he asked for a writing
table, and wrote, saying.His name
is John. And they marvelled all.
64 And his mouth was opened
immediately, and his tongue
loosed, and he spake, and praised
God.
80 And the child grew, and
waxed strong in spirit, and was
in the deserts till the day of his
shewing unto Israel. ■
John the Baptist said to tie
Elias by Christ. John himself said
he was not Elias,— Elijah.
Mat. 11—2 Now when John had
heard in the prison the works of
Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
3 And said unto him. Art thou
he that should come, or do we
look for another ?
4 Jesus said unto them, Go and
shew John again those things
which ye do hear and see:
5 The blind receive their sight,
and the lame walk, the lepers are
cleansed, and the deaf hear, the
dead are raised up, and the poor
have the gospel preached to them.
6 And blessed is he, whosoever
shall not be offended m me.
7 And as they departed, Jesus
began to say unto the multitudes
concerning John, Wliat went ye
out into the wilderness to see ? A
reed shaken with the wind ?
8 But what went ye out for to
see ? A man clothed in soft rai-
ment ? behold, they that wearsof t
clothing are in kings' houses.
9 But what went ye out for to
see ? A prophet ? yea, I say unto
you, and more than a prophet.
10 For this is he, of whom it is
written. Behold. I send my mes-
sengerbefore thy face, which shall
prepare thy way before thee. See
Mai. 3. 1, p. 486.
11 Verily 1 say unto you, Among
them that are bom of women
there hath not risen a gi'eater
than John the Baptist: notwith-
standing, he that is least in the
kingdom of heaven is greater
than he.
12 And from the days of John
the Baptist until now the king-
dom of heaven suffereth violence,
and the violent take it by force.
13 For all the prophets and the
law prophesied until John.
14 And if ye will receive it. this
is Elias, which was for to come.
Mai. 4—5 Behold, I will send you
Elijah the prophet before the
coming of the gi'eat and dreadful
day of the Lord. p. 487.
Mat. 17—10 And his disciples
asked him. Why then say the
scribes that Eliasmust first come ?
11 And Jesus answered and said
milo them, Elias truly shall first
come, and restore all things.
12 But I say. That Elias is come
already, and they knew him no.t,
but have done unto him whatso-
ever they listed. Likewise shall
also the Son of man sufferof them .
13 Then the disciples understood
that he spake unto them of John
the Baptist.
Jno.l— 19 And thisisthe recordof
John, when the Jews sent priests
and Levites from Jeru.salem to ask
him, Who art thou ?
20 And he confessed, and denied
not; but confessed, I am not the
Christ.
21 And they asked him. What
then ? Art thou Elias ? And he
saith, I am not. Art thou that
Prophet ? And he answered. No.
22 Then said they mito him, Who
art thou ? that we may give an
answer to them that sent us.
23 He said, I am the voice of one
crying in the wilderness. Make
straight the way of the Lord, as
said the prophet Esaias.
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. Mat. 3, p. 27.
4 Every valley shall be exalted,
and every mountain and hill shall
be made low: and the crooked
shall be made straight, and the
rough places plain:
5 And the glory of the Lord
shall be revealed, and all flesh
shall see it together : forthe mouth
of theLoRD hath spoken it. p. 113.
DEATH OF JOHN THE BAP-
TIST.
Mar. 6—17 For Herod himself
had sent forth and laid hold upon
John, and bound him in prison for
Herodias' sake,his brother Philip's
wife ; for he had married her.
18 For John had said unto Herod,
It is not lawful for thee to have
thy brother's wife.
503
la Therefore Herodiiis had a
(lUiUTel; agaiust him, and would
have killed him; but she could
not :
20 For Herod feared John, know-
ing- that he was p, just man and
a holy, and observed him ; and
when he heard him, he did many
things, and heard him gladly.
21 And when a convenient day
was come, that Herod on his birth-
day made a supper to his lords,
high captains, and chief estates of
Galilee;
22 And when the daughter of the
said Herodias came in, and
danced, and pleased Herod and
them that sat with him, the king
said unto the damsel. Ask of me
whatsoever thou wilt, and I will
give it thee.
23 And he sware unto her, What-
soever thou Shalt ask of me, I will
give it thee, unto the half of my
kingdom.
24 And she went forth, and said
untoher mother, Whatshall I ask?
And she said, The head of John
the Baptist.
2.5 And she came in straightway
with haste unto the king, ana
asked, saying, I will that thou
give me by and by in a charger
the head of John the Baptist.
26 And the king was exceeding
sorry ; yet for his oath's sake, and
fur their sakes which sat with him ,
he would not reject her.
27 And immediately the king
sent an executioner, and com-
manded his head to be lirougbt:
and he went and beheaded him in
the prison,
28 And brought his head in a
chargei-, and gave it to the dam-
sel ; and the damsel gave it to her
mother.
29 And when his disciples heard
of it, they came and took up his
corpse, and laid it in a tomb.

AFTER HIS ASCENSION.
Ac. 7—55 Stephen, being full of
the Holy Ghost, looked up stead-
fastly into heaven, and saw the
glory of God, and Jesus standing
on the right hand of God,
56 And said. Behold, I see the
heavens opened, and the Son of
man standing on the right hand
of God.
Ac. 18—9 Then spake the Lord to
Paul in the night by a vision. Be
not afraid, but speak, and hold not
thy pea«e.
Ac. 27—23 There stood by me this
night the angel of God,
24 Saying, Fear not. Paul; thou
must fee brought before Cesar.

Christ's seinnon 'in tiie syna-
gogue in Nazareth, whei'e th'e Jews
tried to kill him.
Lu. 4—14 And Jesus returned in
the power of the Spirit into Gal-
lilee : and there went out a fame
of him through all the region
round about.
15 And he taught in their syna-
gogues, being glorified of all.
16 And he came to Nazareth,
where he had been brought up:
and, as his custom was. he went
into the synagogue on the sabbath
day, and stood up for to read.
17 And there was delivered unto
him the book of the prophet
Esaias. And when he had opened
the book, he found the place where
it was written,
18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon
me, because he hath anointed me
to preach the gospel to the poor ;
he hath seut me to heal the
brokenhearted, to preach deliver-
ance to the captives, and recover-
ing of sight to the blind, to set at
liberty them that are bniised,
19 To preach the acceptable year
of the Lord. Is. ci, p. 473.
20 And he closed the book, and
he gave it again to the minister,
and sat down. And the eyes of all
them that were in the synagogue
were fastened on him.
21 And he began to say unto
them. This day is this Scripture
fulfilled in your ears.
22 And all bare him witness, and
wondered at the gracious words
which proceeded out of his mouth.
And they said. Isiiot this Joseph's
sou ?
23 And he said unto them. Ye
will surely say unto me this prov-
erb. Physician, heal thyself: what-
soever we have heard done iu
Capernaum, do also here in thy
country.
24 And he said. Verily I say un-
to you. No prophet is accepted in
his own comitry.
25 But I tell you of a truth, many
widows were iu Israel iu the days
of Elias, when the heaven was
shut up three years and six
months, when great famine was
thi-oughout all the laiid ;
2G But imto none of them was
Elias sent, save iinto Sarepta. a
city of Sidon. unto a woman that
was a widow, l Ki. 17. 9, p. 83.
27 And many lepers were in Js-
rael in the time of Eliseus the
prophet; and none of them wa.s
cleansefd, saving Naaman the Sy-
rian. 2 Ki. 5, p. 395.
507
28 And all they in the syna-
gogue, when they heard these
things, were tilled with wrath.
29 And rose up. and thrust him
out of the city, and led him unto
the brow of the hill whereon
their city was built, that they
might cast him down headlong.
30 But he, passing through the
midst of them, went his way.
31 And came down to Caperna-
um, a city of Galilee, and taught
them on the sabbath days.
32 And they were astonished at
his doctrine: for his word was
with power.
JESUS THE BREAD OF LIFE.
Jno. 6—31 Our fathers did eat
manna in the desert ; as it is writ-
ten. He gave them bread from
heaven to eat.
32 Then Jesus said. Verily, I say
unto you, Moses gave you not that
bread from heaven; but my Fa-
ther giveth you the true bread
from heaven.
33 For the bread of God is he
which cometh down from heaven,
and giveth life unto the world.
34 TJ^en said they unto him.
Lord, evermore give us this bread.
35 And Jesus said unto them,
I am the bread of life: he that
cometh to me shall never hunger :
and he that beiievethon me shall
never thirst, p. 248.
41 The Jews then murmured at
him. because he said, I am the
bread which came down from
heaven.
42 And they said. Is not this Je-
sus, the son of Joseph, whose fa-
ther and mother we know? how
is it then that he saith, I came
down from heaven?
43 Jesus therefore answered and
said unto them. Murmur not
among yo'ui"selves.
47 verily, verily, I say unto you.
He that believeth on me hath
everlasting life.
48 Lam that bread of life.
49 Your fathers did eat manna
in the wilderness, and are dead.
50 This is the bread which com-
eth down from heaven, that a man
may eat thereof, and not die.
51 I am that living bread which
came down from heaven: if any
man eat of this bi-ead, he shall live
for ever: and the bread that I will
give is my flesh, which I will give
for the life of the world.
52 The Jews strove among them-
selves, saying. How can this man
give us his flesh to eat?
53 Then Jesus said. Verily, I .say
unto you. Except ye eat the flesh
of the Son of man, and drink his
blood, ye have no life in you.
54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and
drinketh my blood, hath eternal
life; and I will raise him up at
the last day.
55 For my flesh is meat indeed,
and my blood is drink indeed.
56 He that eateth my flesh, and
drinketh my blood, dwelleth in
me, and I in him.
57 As the living- Father hath
sent me, and I live by the Father;
so he that eateth me, even he
shall live by me.
58 This is that bread which
came down from heaven: not as
your fathers did eat manna, and
are dead : he that eateth of this
bread shall live for ever.
59 These things said he in the
synagogue, as he taught in Caper-
naum.
60 Many of his disciples, when
they heard this, said. This is a hard
saying; who can hear it?
61 When Jesus knew in himself
that Ms disciples murmured at
it, he said unto them. Doth this
oflfend you?
62 What and if ye shall see the
Son of man ascend up where he
was before?
63 It is the Spirit that quicken-
eth; the flesh profiteth nothing:
the words that I speak unto you,
they are spirit, and they are life.
66 From that time many of his
disciples went back, and walked
no more with him.
JESUS THE TRUE VINE.
Jno. 15—1 1 am the true vine, and
my Father is the husbandman.
2 Every branch in me thatbear-
eth not fruit be taketh away:
and every branch that beareth
fruit, he purgeth it, that it may
bring forth more fruit.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As
the branch cannot bear fruit of it-
self, except it abide in the vine ;
no more can ye, except ye abide
in me. ,
5 I am the vine, ye are the
branches. He that abideth in me,
and I in hmi, the same bringeth
forth much fruit ; for without me
ye can do nothing, vrs. 7., p. 5.

Mat. 16—13 Jesus asked his dis-
ciples, saying. Whom do men say
that I, the Son of man am? Mat.
8, J no. 12, p. 197.
14 And they said, Some say that
thou art John the Baptist; some,
Elias; and others, Jeremias. or
one of the prophets.
15 He saith unto them. But
whom say ye tkat I am?
16 And Simon Peter answered
and said. Thou art the Christ, the
Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus answered and said
unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon
Bar-jona: for tlesh and blood hath
not revealed it mito thee, hut my
Father which is in heaven.
18 And I say alst) unto thee. That
thou art Peter, and upon this rock
I will build my cluu-ch; and the
gates of hell shall not prevail
against it.
19 And I will give unto thee the
keys of the kingdom of heaven:
and whatsoever thou shalt bind
on earth shall be bound in heaven ;
and whatsoever thou shalt loose
on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
20 Then charged he his disciples
that they should tell no man that
he was Jesus the Christ.
21 H From that time forth began
Jesus to shew unto his disciples,
how that he must go unto Jerusa-
lem, and suffer many things of
the elders and chief priests and
scribes, and be killed, and be
rai.sed again the third day.
22 Then Peter began to rebuke
liim, sjiying. Be it far from thee.
Lord : this shall not be unto thee.
23 But he turned, and said unto
Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan :
thou art an offence vuito me: for
thou savourest not the things that
be of God, but those that be of
men.
JESUS ANOINTED BY MARY.
Jno. 12—1 Then Jesus six days
before the passover came to Beth-
any, where Lazarus was, whom
he raised from the dead.
2 There they made him a sup-
per; and Martha seiwed : butLaz-
arous was one of them that sat at
the table with him.
3 Then took Mary a pound of
ointment of spikenard, very cost-
ly, and anointed the feet of Jesus,
and wiped his feet with her hair:
and the house was filled with the
odour of the ointment.
4 Then saith one of his disciples,
Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which
should betray him,
5 Why was not this ointment
sold for three hundred pence, and
given to the poor?
6 This he said, not that he cared
for the poor: but because he was
a thief, and had the bag, and hare
what was put therein.
7 Then said Jesus, Let her alone :
against the day of my buiTing
hath she kept this.
8 For the poor always ye have
with you; but me ye have not al-
ways.
9 Much people of the Jews there-
fore knew that he was there : and
they came not for Jesus' sake only,
but that they might see Lazarus
also, whom he had raised from the
dead.
Mar. 14—3 And being in Beth-
any, in the house of Simon the
leper, as he sat at meat, there
came a woman having an alabas-
ter box of ointment of spikenarc}
very precious ; and she brake the
box, and pouied it on his head.
4 And there were some that had
indignation within themselves,
and said. Why was this waste or
the ointment made?
5 For it might have been sold for
more than three hundred pence,
and have been given to the poor.
And they murmm-ed against her.
6 And Jesus said. Let her alone;
why trouble ye her? she hath
wrought a good work on me.
7 For ye have the poor with you
always, and whensoever ye will
ye may do them good: but me ye
have not always.
8 She hath done what she could:
she is come aforehand to anoint
my body to the burying.
9 Verily I say unto you, Where-
soever this gospel shall be preach-
ed throughout the whole world,
this also that she hath done shall
be spoken of for a memorial of
her. Mat. 26. 6-13.
JESUS ANOINTED BY MARY
MAGDALENE.
Lu. 7—36 And one of the Phari-
sees desired him that he would
500
eat with liira. And he went into
the Pharisee's house, aud sat
down to meat.
37 Aud, behold, a woman in the
city, which was a sinner, when
she knew that Jesus sat at meat
in the Pharisee's house, brought
an alabaster box of ointment,
38 And stood at his feet behind
him weeping, and began to wash
his feet with tears, and did wipe
them with the hairs of her head,
and kissed his feet, aud anointed
tlaem with the ointment.
39 Now when the Pharisees
which had bidden him saw it, he
spake within him self, saying, This
man, if he were a prophet, would
have known who and what man-
ner of woman this is that touch-
eth him ; for she is a sinner.
44 And he turned to the woman,
and said unto Simon, Seest thou
this woman? I entered into thine
house, thou givest me no water
for my feet: but she hath washed
my feet with tears, and wiped
them with the hairs of her head.
45 Thou gavest me no kiss: but
this woman, since the time I came
in, hath not ceased to kiss my
feet.
46 My head with oil thou didst
not anoint; but this woman hath
anointed my feet with ointment.
47 Wherefore I say unto tli^e,
Her sins, which are many, are for-
given ; for she loved much : but
to whom little is forgiven, the
same loveth little.
48 And he said unto her. Thy
sins are forgiven.
49 And they that sat at meat
with him began to say within
themselves. Who is this that for-
giveth sins also?
50 And he said to the woman,
Thy faith hath saved thee ; go in
peace.
TRANSFIGURATION OF JE-
SUS CHRIST.
Lu. 9—28 And Jesus took Peter
and John and James, and went
up into a mountain to pray.
29 And as he prayed, the fashion
of his countenance was altered,
and his raiment was white and
glistering.
(Mat. 17—2 And was transfigured
before them: and his face did
shine as the sun, and his raiment
was white as the light.)
(Mar. 9—3 And his raiment be-
came shining, exceeding white
as snow ; so as no fuller on earth
can white them.)
30 And, behold, there talked
with him two men, which were
Moses and Elias:
31 Who appeared in glory, and
spake of his decease which he
should accomplish at Jerusalem.
32 But Peter and they that were
with him were heavy with vsleep:
and when they were awake, they
saw his glory, and the two men
that stood with him.
33 And it came to pass, as they
departed from him, Peter said un-
to Jesus, Master, it is good for us
to be here : and let us make three
tabernacles; one for thee, and one
for Moses, and one for Elias: not
knowing what he said.
34 While he thus spake, there
came a cloud, and overshadowed
them: and they feared as they
entered into the cloud.
35 And there came a voice out
the cloud, saying. This is my be-
loved Son: hear him.
36 And when the voice was past,
Jesus was found alone. And they
kept it close, and told no man in
those days any of those things
which they had seen.
REJECTED BY THE SA-
MARITANS.
51 And it came to pass, when
the time was come that he should
be received up, he steadfastly set
his face to go to Jerusalem,
52 Aud sent messengers before
his face : and they went, and en-
tered into a village of the Samari-
tans, to make ready for him.
53 Aud they did not receive him,
because his face was as though he
would go to Jerusalem.
54 And when his disciples James
and John saw this, they said.
Lord, wilt thou that we command
fire to come down from heaven,
and consume tliem, even as Elias
did? See 2 Ki. 1. 10, 12, p. 375.
55 But he turned, and rebuked
them, and said, Ye know not what
manner of spirit ye are of.
56 For the Son of man is not
come to destroy men's lives, but
to save them. Aud they went to
another village.
JESUS ENTERTAINED BY
ZACCHEUS THE PUBLICAN.
Lu. 19—1 Aud Jesus entered and
passed through Jericho,
510
2 And, behold, there was a man
named Zaccheus, which was the
chief among the publicans, and
he was rich.
3 And he sought to see Jesus who
lie was; and could not for the
press, because he was little of
stature.
4 And he ran before, and climbed
up into a sycamore tree to see
him ; for he was to pass that way.
5 And when Jesus came to the
place, he looked up, and saw him,
and said unto him. Zaccheus,
make haste, and come down ; for
to day I must abide at thy house.
6 And he made haste, and came
down, and received him joyfully.
7 And when they saw it, they all
mumiured, saying. That lie was
gone to be guest with a man that
IS a sinner.
8 And Zaccheus stood, and said
unto the Lord ; Behold, Lord, the
half of my goods I give to the
poor; and if 1 have taken any
thing from any man by false ac-
cusation, I restore him fourfold.
9 And Jesus said unto him, This
day is salvation come to this
house, forasmuch as he also is a
son of Abraham.
10 For the Son of man is come
to seek and to save that which
was lost.
PARABLE OF THE POUNDS.
THE TEN PIECES OF MONEY.
Lu. iJH-ii And as they heard
these things, he added and spake
a parable, because he was nigh to
Jerusalem, and because they
thought that the kingdom of God
should immediately appear.
12 He said therefore, A certain
nobleman went into a far coimtry
to receive for himself a kiDgdom,
and to return.
13 And he called his ten servants,
and delivered them ten pounds.
and said unto them. Occupy till I
come.
14 But his citizens hated him,
and sent a message after him,
saying. We will not have this
man to reign over us.
15 And it came to pass, that when
he was returned, having received
the kmgdom, then hecommanded
these servants to be called imto
him, to whom he had given the
money, that he might know how
much every man had gained by
trading.
16 Then came the first, saying.
Lord, thy pound hath gained ten
pounds.
17 And he said unto him. Well
thou good servant: because thoii
hast been faithful in a very little,
have thou authority over ten
cities.
18 And the second came, saying
Lord, thy pound hath gained five
pounds.
19 And he said likewise to him.
Be thou also over five cities.
20 And another came, saying.
Lord behold, here is thy pound,
which I have kept laid up in a
napkm:
21 For I feared thee, because
thou art an austere man: thou
takest up that thou layedst not
down, and reapest that thou didst
not sow.
22 And he saith unto him. Out
of thme own mouth will I judge
thee, thou wicked servant. Thou
knewest that I was an austere
man, taking up that I laid not
down, and reaping that I did not
sow:
23 Wherefore then gavest not
thou my money into the bank,
that at my coming I might have
requu-ed mine own with usury^
24 And he said unto them that
stood by. Take from him the
pqfiud, and give it to him that
hath ten pounds.
25 (And they said unto him,
Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
26 For I say unto you. That un-
to every one which hath shall be
given; and from hiin that hath
not, even that he hath shall be
taken away from him.
27 But those mine enemies, which
would not that I should reign over
them, bring hither, and slay them
before me.
Christ's public and triumphal
entry mto Jerusalem, and the de-
struction of the city foretold.
Lu, 19-28 And when he had thus
spoken, he went before, ascending
up to Jerusalem.
29 And it came to pass, when he
was come nigh to Bethphage and
Bethany, at the mount called the
mount of Olives, he sent two of
his disciples,
30 Saying, Go ye into the village
over against you ; in the which at
your entering
511
(Milt. 21—2 Ye shall lind an ass
tied, and a colt with her: loose
them, and bring them unto me.
3 And if any man say auglit un-
to you, ye shall say. The Lord hath
need of them ; and straightway he
will send them.
4 All this was done, that it might
be fulfilled which was spoken by
the prophet, saying,
5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion,
Behold, thy King cometh unto
thee, meek, and sitting upon an
ass, and a colt the foalof an ass.
Zee. 9. 9, p. 483.
6 And the disciples went, and
did as Jesus commanded them,
7 And brought the ass, and the
colt, and put on them their.clothes,
and they set him thereon.
8 And a very great multitude
spread their garments in the way ;
others cut down branches from the
trees, and strewed them in the
way.
9 And the multitudes that went
before, and that followed, cried,
saying, Hosanna to the Son of
David : Blessed is he that cometh
in the name of the Lord; Hosan-
na in the highest.
10 And when he was come into
Jemsalem, all the city was moved,
saying, Who is this?
11 And the multitude said. This
is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth
of Galilee.)
38 Blessed be the King that
Cometh in the name of the Lord:
peace in heaven; and glory in the
highest.
39 And some of the Pharisees
from among the multitude said.
Master, rebuke thy disciples.
40 And he said, I tell you, if
these should hold their peace, the
stones would immediately cry out.
41 And when he was come near,
he beheld the city, and wept over
it.
42 Saying, If thou hadst known,
even thou, at least in this thy day,
the things which belong imto thy
peace ! but now they are hid from
thine eyes.
43 For the days shall come upon
thee, that thine enemies shall cast
a trench about thee, and compass
thee round, and keep thee in on
every side,
44 And shall lay thee even with
the ground, and thy children
withm thee; and they shall not
leave in thee one stone upon an-
other; because thou knewest not
the time of thy visitation.
Mat. 23—37 O Jerusalem, Jerusa-
lem, thou that killest the proph-
ets, and stonest them which are
sent unto thee, how often would I
have gathered thy children to-
gether, even as a hen gathereth
her chickens under her wings,
and ye would not !
Parable of the Vineyard, the
Stone the Builder rejected, etc.
Lu. 20— 9 Then began he to speak
to the people this parable; A cer-
tain man planted a vineyard, and
let it forth to husbandmen, and
went into a far country for a long
time.
10 And at the season he sent a
servant to the husbandmen, that
they should give him of the frait
of the vineyard: but the husband-
men beat him, and sent him away
empty.
11 And again he sent another
servant: and they beat him also,
and entreated him shamefully,
and sent him away empty.
12 And again he sent a third:
and they wounded him also, and
cast him out.
13 Then said the lord of the
vineyard. What shall I do? I will
send my beloved son: it may be
they will reverence him when
they see him.
14 But when the husbandmen
saw him, they reasoned among
themselves, saying. This is the
heir: come, let us kill him, that
the mheritance may be ours.
15 So they cast him out of the
vineyard, and killed him. What
therefore shall the lord of the
vineyard do unto them?
16 He shall come and destroy
these husbandmen, and shall give
the vineyard to others. Audwlien
they heard it, they said, God for-
bid.
17 And be beheld them, and
said. What is this then that is
wi'itten. The stone which the
builders rejected, the same is be-
come the head of the comer?
18 Whosoever shall fall upon
that stone shall be broken ; but on
whomsoever it shall fall, . it will
grind him to powder. Mat. 21, p.
259.
19 t And the chief priests and
the scribes the same hour sought
to lay hands on him.
512
20 And they watched him, and
sent forth spies, which should
feign themselves just men, that
they might take hold of his words,
that so they might deliver him
unto the power and authority of
the governor.

Judas betrayeth the Lord Jesus
Christ.
Lu. 22—1 Now the feast of un-
leavened bread drew nigh, which
is called the passover.
2 And the chief priests and
scribes sought how they might kill
him ; for they feared the people.
3 IT Then entered vSatan into
Judas suruamed Iscariot, being of
the number of the twelve.
4 And he went his way, and
communed with the chief priests
and captains, how he might be-
tray him unto them.
(Mat. 26—15 And said unto them,
"What will ye give me, and 1 will
deliver him unto you ? And they
covenanted with him for thirty
pieces of silver.
16 And from that time he sought
opportunity to betray him.)
7 Then came the day of unleav-
ened bread, when the p9.ssover
must be killed.
8 And he sent Peter and John,
saying. Go and prepare us the
passover, that we may eat.
9 And they said untohim,Where
wilt thou that we prepare ?
10 And he said unto them. Be-
hold, when ye are entered into the
city, there shall a man meet you,
bearing a pitcher of water; follow
him into the house where he en-
tereth in.
11 And ye shall say unto the
goodman of the house. The Mas-
ter saith unto thee. Where is the
guestchamber, where 1 shall eat
the passover with my disciples ?
12 And he shall shew you a large
tipper room furnished : there make
ready.
13 And they went, and found as
he had said unto them : and they
made ready the passover.
14 And when the hour was come,
he sat down, and the twelve apos-
tles with him.
Mat. 26—21 And as they did eat,
he said,Verily I say unto you, that
one of you shall betray me.
22 And they were exceeding sor-
rowful, and began every one of
them to say unto him. Lord, is it
I?
23 And he answered and said.He
that dippeth his hand with me in
the dish, the same shall betray me.
24 The Son of man goeth as it is
written of him : but woe unto that
man by whom the Son of man is
betrayed! it had been good for
that man if he had not been born.
25 Then Judas, which betrayed
him, answered and said. Master,
is it I ? He said unto him, Thou
hast said.
26 H And as they were eating,
Jesus took bread, and blessed it,
and brake it, and gave it to the
disciples, and said, Take, eat ; this
is my body.
27 And he took the cup, and
gave thanks, and gave it to them,
sayiiig. Drink ye all of it ;
28 For this is my blood of the
new testament, which is shed for
many for the remission of sins.
29 But I say unto you, I will not
drink henceforth of this fruit of
the vine, until that day when 1
drink it new with you in my
Father's kingdom.
30 And when they had sung a
hymn, they went out into the
mount of Olives.
31 Then saith Jesus unto them.
All ye shall be offended because
of me this night: for it is written,
1 will smite the Shepherd, and the
sheep of the flock shall be scat-
tered abroad. Zee. 13. 7, p. 485.
32 But after I am risen again, I
will go before you into Galilee.
33 Peter answered and said unto
him. Though all men shall be of-
fended because of thee, yet will I
never be offended,
31 Jesus said mito him. Verily
I say unto thee. That this night,
before the cock crow, thou shalt
deny me thrice.
35 Peter said unto him, Though
I should die with thee, yet will I
dot deny thee. Likewise also said
all the disciples.
Jno. 13—18 I speak not of you
all : I know whom I have chosen :
but that the Scripture maybe ful-
filled. He that eateth bread with
me hath lifted up his heel against
me. Ps. 41. 9, p. 19, and p. 100.
19 Now I tell you before it come,
that, when it is come to pass, ye
may believe that 1 am he.
513
20 Verily, verily, I say unto you.
He that receiveth whomsoever 1
send receiveth me; and he that
receiveth me receiveth him that
sent me.
, 21 When Jesus had thus said, he
was troubled in spirit, and testi-
tied, and said. Verily, verily, I say
unto you, that one of you shall
betray me.
22 Then the disciples looked one
on another, doubting of whom he
spake.
23 Now there was leaning on
Jesus' bosom one of his disciples,
whom Jesus loved.
24 Simon Peter therefore beck-
ojied to him, that he should ask
who it should be of whom he
spake.
25 He then lying on Jesus' breast
saith unto him. Lord, who is it?
26 Jesus answered. He it is, to
whom I shall give a sop, when I
have dipped it. And when he had
dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas
Iscariot, the son of Simon.
27 And after the sop Satan en-
tered into him. Then said Jesus
unto him. That thou doest, do
quickly.
28 Now no man at the table knew
for what intent he spake this unto
him.
29 For some of them thoitght,
because Judas had the bag, that
Jesus had said'untohim, Buy those
things that we have need of
against the feast; or, that he
should give something to the poor.
30 He then, having received the
sop, went immediately out; and
it was night.
31 Therefore, when he was gone
out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of
man glorified, and God is glorified
in him.
Trial, crucifixion, death, resur-
rection, and ascension of Jesiis
Christ, from the books of Mat-
thew, Mark, Luke, and John.
Jno. 18—1 When Jesus had spok-
en these words, he went forth
with his disciples over the brook
Cedron, where was a garden.
Mar. 14—32 Which was named
Gethsemane: and he saith to his
disciples. Sit ye here, while 1 pray.
;« Ajid he taketh with him
Peter and James and John, and
began to be sore amazed, and to
be very heavy ;
34 And saith unto them, My
soul is exceeding sorrowful unto
death : tany ye liere, and watch.
3.5 And he went forward a little,
and fell on tlie ground, and prayed
tliat, if it were possible, the houi-
might pass from him.
,36 And he said, Abba, Father,
all things are possible unto thee;
take away this cup from me: nev-
ertheless, not what I will, but
what thou wilt.
Lu. 22 — 13 And there appeared
an angel unto him from heaven,
strengthening him.
44 And being in an agony he
prayed more earnestly: and hi.s
sweat was as it were great drops
of blood falling down to the
ground.
45 And when he rose up from
prayer, and was come to his dis-
ciples, he found them sleeping
for sorrow,
46 And said unto them. Why
sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye
enter into temptation.
47 And while he yet spake, be-
hold a multitude, and he that was
called Judas, one of the twelve,
went before them, and drew near
unto Jesus to kiss him.
48 But Jesus said unto him, Ju-
das, betrayest thou the Sou of
man with a kiss?
Mat. 26—49 And forthwith he
came to JestM, and said, Hail,
Master; and kissed him.
Jno. 18—4 Jesus therefore, know-
ing all things that should come
upon him, went forth, and said
unto them. Whom seek ye?
5 They answered him, Jesus of
Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them,
1 am he. And Judas also, which
betrayed him, stood with them.
6 As soon then as he had said
unto them, I am he, they went
backward, and fell to the ground.
7 Then asked he them again.
Whom seek ye? And they said,
Jesus of Nazareth.
8 Jesus answered, I have told
you that I am he : if therefore ye
seek me, let these go their way:
9 That the saying might be ful-
filled, which he spake. Of them
which thou gavest me have I lost
none.
(Jno. 17—12 While I was with
them in the world, I kept them in
thy name: and none of them is
lost, but the son of perdition : that
the Scripture might be fulfilled.)
514
10 Then Simon Peter having a
sword drew it, aud smote the high
priest's servant, and cut off his
right ear. The servant's name
was Malchus.
(Lu. 22—51 And Jesiis answered
aud said. Suffer ye thus far. And
he touched his ear, and healed
him.) .
11 Then said Jesus unto Peter.
Put up thy sword into the sheath :
the cup which my Father liath
given me, shall I not drink it?
Mat. 26—52 Put up again thy
sword into his place: for all they
that take the sword shall perish
with the sword. Lu. 22. 35-38, p. 260.
53 Thinkest thou that I caimot
now pray to my Father, aud he
shall presently give me more than
twelve legions of angels'?
54 But how then shall the Scrip-
tures be fulfilled, that thus it
must he?
55 In that same hour said Jesus
to the multitudes. Are ye come
out as against a thief with swords
and staves for to take me? 1 sat
daily with you teaching in the
temple, and ye laid no hold on me.
56 But all this was done, that
the Scriptures of the prophets
might be fulfilled. Then all the
disciples forsook him, and fled.
(Mar. 14—50 And they all forsook
him, and fled.
51 And there fallowed him a
a certain young man, having a
linen cloth cast about his naked
body; and the young men laid
hold on him :
52 And he left the linen cloth,
and fled from tliem naked.)
57 And they that had laid hold
on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas
the high priest, where the scribes
and the elders were assembled.
.58 But Peter followed him afar
off unto the high priest's.palace,
and went in, and sat with the
servants, to see the end.
(Jno. 18— 18 And the servants and
officers stood there, who had made
a fire of coals, for it was cold ; and
they warmed themselves: and
Peter stood with them, and
warmed himself.)
59 Now the chief priests, and
elders, and all the council, sought
false witness against Jesus, to
put him to death ;
60 But found none : yea, though
many false witnesses came, yet
found they none. At the last
came two false witnesses,
61 And said. This fellow said. I
am able to destroy the temple of
God, and to build it in three
days.
(Mar. 14—60 And the high priest
stood up in the midst, and a.sked
Jesus, saymg. Answerest thou
nothing? what is it which these
witness against thee?
61 But he held his peace, and
answered nothing. Again the
high priest asked him, and said
unto him. Art thou the Christ, the
Son of the Blessed? p. 490.
62 And Jesus said, 1 am : and ye
shall see the Son of man sitting
on the right hand of power, and
coming in the clouds of heaven.
63 Then the high priest rent his
clothes, and saitu. What need we
any f m-ther witnesses?
64 Ye haveheardtheblasphemy :
what think ye? And they all con-
demned him to be guilty of death,
65 And some began to spit on
him, and to cover his face, and to
buffet him; and to say mito him.
Prophesy: and the servants did
strike him with the palms of
their hands. Is. 50. 6, p. 471.)
69 Now Peter sat without m
the palace: and a damsel came
mito nim, saying, Thou also wast
with Jesus of Galilee.
70But he denied before them all,
saying, I know not what thou
sayest.
71 And when he was gone out
into the porch, another maid saw
him, and said unto them that
were there. This fellow was also
with Jesus of Nazareth.
72 And again he denied with an
oath, I do not know the man.
73 And after a while came unto
him thev that stood by, and said
to Peter, Surely thou also art one
of them ; for thy speech bewray-
eth thee.
74 Then began he to curse and to
swear, saying, I know not theman.
And immediately the cock crew.
Lu. 22—61 And the Lord turned,
and looked upon Peter. And
Peter remembered the word of
the Lord, how he had said unto
him. Before the cock crow, thou
Shalt deny me thrice.
62 And Peter went out, and wept
bitterly.

fortunate scapegoat. See also Le.

459.
515
Mat. 27—1 When the morniug
was come, all the chief priests and
elders of the people took counsel
against Jesus to put him to death.
3 Then Judas, which had be-
trayed him, when he saw that he
was condemned, repented him-
self, and brought again the thirty
pieces of silver to the chief priests
and elders,
■4 Saying, I have sinned in that I
have betrayed the innocent blood.
And they said. What is that to us?
see thou to that.
5 And he cast down the pieces of
silver in the temple, and departed,
and went and hanged himself.
(Ac. 1—15 And ni those days
Peter stood up in the midst of the
disciples, and said,
16 Men and brethren, this Scrip-
ture must needs have been fulfill-
ed, which the Holy Ghost by the
mouth of David spake before con-
cerning Judas, which was guide
to them that took Jesus.
17 For he was numbered with
us. and had obtained part of this
ministry.
18 Now this man purchased a
field with the reward of iniquity ;
and falling headlong, he Durst
asunder in the midst, and all his
bowels gushed out.
19 Anditwasknownuntoallthe
dwellers at Jerusalem • insomuch
as that field is called, in their
proper tongue, Aceldama, that is
to say. The field of blood.
20 For it is written in the book
of Psalms, Let his habitation be
desolate, and let no man dwell
therein: and. His bishoprick let
another take.
The word "bishoprick" cannot
be found in the Old Testament,
and David wrote nothing about
Judas. There isno mention made
of him in the book of Psalms, or
in any of the other books of the
» Hd Bible. It is supposed that
Peter referred to Ps. 69. 25 and Ps.
109.8. See p. 222, 283. Yet by read-
ing them you will see tliat they
have no bearing on the case what-
ever.)
6 And the chief priests took the
silver pieces, and said. It is not
lawful for us to put them into the
treasury, because it is the price of
blood.
7 And they took counsel, and
l>ought with them the potter's
field, to bury strangers in.
8 Wherefore that field was
called, The field of blood, unto
this day.
9 Then was fulfilled that which
was spoken by Jeremy the proph-
et, saying, And they took the
thirty pieces of silver, the price of
him that was valued, whom they
of the children of Israel did value ;
10 And gave them for the pot-
ter's field, as the Lord appointed
me. Zee. 11. 12, 13. p. 484.
Jno. 18—28 Then led they Jesus
from Caiaphas unto the hall of
judgment: and it was early; and
they themselves went not into the
judgment hall, lest they should
be defiled; but that they might
eat the passover.
29 Pilate then went out unto
them, and said, What accusation
bring ye against this man?
30 rhey answered and said unto
him. If he were not a malefactor,
we would not have delivered him
up unto thee.
(Mat. 27—19 When Pilate was set
down on the judgment seat, his
wife sent unto him, saying. Have
thou nothing to do with that just
man: for I have suffered many
things this day in a dream because
of him.)
31 Then said Pilate unto them.
Take ye him, and judge him ac-
cording to your law. The Jews
therefore said unto him. It is not
lawful for us to put any man to
death:
32 That the saying of Jesus
might be fulfilled„whichhe spake,
signifying what death he should
die.
33 Then Pilate entered into the
judgment hall again, and called
Jesus, and said unto him. Art thou
the King of the Jews?
34 Jesus answered him, Sayest
thou this thing of thyself, or did
others tell it thee of me?
35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew?
Thine own nation and the chief
priests have delivered thee unto
me: what hast thou done?
36 Jesus answered. My kingdom
is not of this world : if my King-
dom were of this world, then
would my servants fight, that I
should not be delivered to the
Jews: but now is my kingdom
not from hence.
37 Pilate therefore said unto
him. Art thou a king then? Je-
sus answered. Thou sayest that 1
am a king. To this end was I
516
bom, and for this cause came I
into the world, that I should bear
witness unto the truth. Every
one that is of the truth heareth
my voice.
38 Pilate saith tiuto him. What
is truth ? And when he had said
this, he went out again unto the
Jews, and saith unto them, I find
in him no fault at all.
39 But ye have a custom, that I
should release unto you one at the
passover: will ye therefore that I
release unto you the King of the
Jews ?
40 Then cried they all again,say-
ing, Not this man, but Barabbas.
Now Barabbas was a robber.
Jno. 19—1 Then Pilate therefore
took Jesus, and scourged him.
2 And the soldiers platted a
crown of thorns, and put it on his
head, and they put on him a pur-
ple robe,
3 And said. Hail, King of the
Jews! and they smote him with
their hands.
4 Pilate therefore went forth
again, and saith unto them. Be-
hold, 1 bring him forth to you,
that ye may know that I find no
fault in him.
5 Then came Jesus forth, wear-
ing the crown of thorns, and the
purple robe. And Pilate saith un-
to them. Behold the man I
6 When the chief priests there-
fore and ofiicers saw him, they
cried out, saying. Crucify him,
crucifv him. Pilate saith unto
them. Take ye him, and crucify
him : for 1 find no fault in him.
7 The Jews answered him. We
have a law, and by our law he
ouglit to die, because he made
himself the Son of God.
8 When Pilate therefore heard
that saying, he was the more
afraid;
9 And went agam into the judg-
ment hall, and saith unto Jesus,
Whence art thou ? But Jesus gave
him no answer.
10 Then said Pilate unto him,
Speakest thou not unto me ?
knowest thou not that I have
power to crucify thee, and have
power to release thee ?
11 Jesus answered. Thou could-
est have no power at all against
me, except it were given thee from
above : thereforehethat delivered
xne unto thee hath the greater sin.
(Jno. 10—17 My Father love me,
because I lay down my life, that I
might take it again.
18 No man taketh it from me,
but I lay it down of myself. I
have power to lay it down, and I
have power to take it again. This
commandment have I received of
mv Father.
30 I and my Father are one.)
12 And from thenceforth Pilate
sought to release him: but the
Jews cried out, saying, If thou let
this man go, thou art not Cesar's
friend : whosoever maketh himself
a king speaketh against Cesar.
13 When Pilate therefore heard
that saying, he broiight Jesus
forth, and sat down in the judg-
ment seat in a place that is called
the Pavement, but in the Hebrew,
Gabbatha.
14 And it was the preparation of
the passover, and about the sixth
hour: and he saith unto the Jews,
Behold vour King!
15 But they cried out. Away with
him, away with him, crucify him.
Pilate saith imto them, Shall I cra-
cify your Kmg ? The chief priests
answered. We have uo king but
Cesar.
16 Then delivered he him there-
fore unto them to be crucified.
And they took Jesus, and led him
away. Mat. 27. 24, p. 24.
17 And he hearing his cross went
forth into a place called the place
of a skull, which is called in the
Hebrew Golgotha:
18 Where they cnicitied him, and
two others with him, on either
side one, and Jesus in the midst.
(Mar. 1.5—21 And they compel one
Simon aCyrenian, who passed by,
coming out of the countiT. the
father of Alexander and Rufus.to
bear his cross.
22 And they bring him unto the
place Golgotha, which is, being in-
terpreted. The place of a skull.
23 And they gave him to drink
wine mingled withmyiTh: but he
received it not.
(Mat. 27—34 They gave him vine-
gar to drink mingled with gall:
and when he had tasted thereof,
he would not drink.)
27 And with him they crucify
two thieves; the one on his right
hand, and the other on his left.
28 And the Scripture was ful-
filled, -which saith. And he was
numbered with the trangressors.
Is. 53; 12, p. 473.)
517
(Lu. 23—27 And there followed
him a great company of people,
and of women, which also be-
wailed and lamented him.
28 But Jesus turning unto them
said, Daughters of Jerusalem,
weep not for me, but weep for
yourselves, and for your children.
29 For, behold, the days are
coming, in the which thev shall
say, Blessed are the barren, and
tlie wombs that never bare, and
the paps which never gave suck.
30 Then shall they begin to say
to the mountains. Fall on us;
and to the hills. Cover us.
. 31 For if they do these things
m a green tree, what shall be
done in the dry?
32 And there were also two
others, malefactors, led with him
to be put to death.
33 And when they were come to
the place, which is calledCal vary,
there they crucified him, and the
malefactors, one on the right
hand, and the other on the left.
39 And one of the malefactors
which were hanged railed on
hnn, saying. If thou be Christ,
save thyself and us.
40 But the other answering re-
buked him, saying. Dost not thou
fear God, seeing thou art in the
same condemnation?
41 And we indeed justly; for
we receive the due reward of our
deeds: but this man hath done
nothing amiss.
42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord,
remember me when thou comest
into thy kingdom.
43 And Jesus said unto him.
Verily I say unto thee. To day
shalt thou be with me in paradise.)
19 And Pilate wrote a title,
and put it on the cross. And the
writing was, JE8US OF NAZ-
ARETH THE KING OF THE
JEWS. .
20 This title then read many of
the Jews; for the place where Je-
sus was crucified was nigh to the
city: and it was written in He-
brew, and Greek, and Latin.
21 Then said the chief priests of
the Jews to Pilate, Write not. The
King of the Jews: but that he
said, I am King of the Jews.
22 Pilate answered. What I
have written 1 have written.
23 Then the soldiers, when they
had crucified Jesus, took his gar-
ments, and made four parts, to
every soldier a part ; and also his
coat: now the coat was without
seam, woven from the top through-
out.
24 They said therefore among
themselves. Let us not rend it, but
cast lots for it, whose it shall be:
that the scripture might be firlfill-
ed, which saith. They paned my
raiment among them, and for my
vesture they did cast lots. These
things therefore the soldiers did.
(Ps. 22—18 They part my gar-
ments among them, and cast lots
upon my vesture.)
25 Now there stood by the cross
of Jesus his mother, and his mo-
ther's sister, Mary the wife of
Cleophas. and Mary Magdalene.
(Mat. 27 — 55 And many women
were there beholding afar off,
which followed Jesus from Gali-
lee, ministering unto him :
56 Among which was Marv Mag-
dalene, and Mary the mother of
James and Joses, and the mother
of Zebedee's children.)
26 When Jesus therefore saw
his mother, and the disciples
standing by, whom he loved, he
saith unto his mother, Woman, be-
hold thy son!
27 Then saith he to the disciple.
Behold tliy mother! And from
that hour that disciple took her
anto Ills own home. The disciple
whom Jesus loved (John), see
Jno, 13. 23, p. 513; and Jno. 21. 20-
24, p. 520.
28 After this, Jesus knowing
that all things were now accom-
plished, that the Scripture might
be fuUiiled, saith, I thirst.
(Ps. 69—21 They gave me also gall
for my meat; and in my thirst
they gave me vinegar to drink.
24 Pour out thine indignation
upon them, and let thy wrathful
anger take hold of them.
25 Let their habitation be deso-
late, let none dwell in their tents.
26 For they persecute him whom
thou hast smitten, and they talk
to the grief of those whom thou
hast wounded.)
29 Now there was set a yessel
full of vinegar: and they filled
a sponge with vinegar, and put
it upon hyssop, and pat it to nis
mouth.
30 When Jesus therefore had
received the vinegar, he said. It
is finished: and he bowed his
head, and gave up the ghost.
518
(Mat. 27—45 Now from the sixth
hour there was darkness over all
the land unto the ninth hour.
46 And about the ninth hour
Jesus cried with a loud voice, say-
ing, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani ?
that is to say. My God, my God,
why hast thou forsaken me ?
(Ps. 22—1 My God, my God, why
hast thou forsaken mei" why art
thou so far from helping me, and
from tlie words of my roaring ? )
47 Some of them that stood there,
when they heard that, said. This
man calleth for Elias.
48 And straightway one of them
ran, and took a sponge, and filled
it with vinegar, and put it on a
reed, and gave him to drink.
49 The rest said. Let be, let us
see whether Elias will come to
save him.
50 Jesus, when he had cried
again with a loud voice, yielded
up the ghost.
51 And, behold, the vail of the
temple was rent in twain from the
top to the bottom ; and the earth
did quake, and the rocks rent ;
52 And the graves were opened ;
and many bodies of the saints
which slept arose,
53 And came out of the graves
after his resurrection, and went
into the holy city, and appeared
unto many
51 Now when the centurion, and
they that were with him, watch-
ing Jesus saw the earthquake,
and those things that were done,
they feared greatly, saying. Truly
this was the Son of God.)
31 The Jews therefore, because
it was the preparation, that the
bodies should not remain upon
the cross on the sabbath day,
(for that sabbath day was a high
day,) besought Pilate that their
legs might be broken, and that
they miglit be taken away.
32 Then came the soldiers, and
brake the legs of the first, and of
theother which was crucified with
him.
33 But when they came to Jesus,
and saw that he was dead already,
they brake not his legs:
34 But one of the soldiers with a
spear pierced his side, and forth-
with came there out blood and
water.
35 And he that saw it bare rec-
ord, and his record is true; and he
knoweth that he saith true, that
ye might believe.
36 For these things were done,
that the Scripture should be ful-
filled, A bone of him shall not be
broken.
(Ps. 34—19 Many are the afflic-
tions of the righteous: but the
LoHD delivereth him out of them
all.
20 Hekeepeth all his bones: not
one of them is broken.
21 Evil shall slay the wicked:
and they that hate the righteous.)
37 And again another Scripture
saith. They shall look on him
whom they pierced.
(Ps. 22—16 For dogs have com-
passed me: the assembly of the
wicked have inclosed me: they
pierced my hands and my feet.
Zee. 12. 10, p. 484.)
38 And after this Joseph of
Arimathea, being a disciple of
Jesus, but secretly for fear of the
Jews, besought Pilate that he
might take away the body of Je-
sus: and Pilate gave him leave.
He came therefore, and took the
body of Jesus.
39 And there came also Nicode-
mus, (which at the first came to
Jesus by night.) and brought a
mixture of myrrh and aloes, about
a hundred pound weight.
40 Then took they the body of
Jesus, and wound it in linen
clothes with the spices, as the
manner of the Jews is to bury.
41 Now in the place where he
was crucified there was a garden ;
and in the garden a new sepul-
chre, wherein was never man yet
laid.
42 There laid they Jesus there-
fore because of the Jews' prepara-
tion day; for the sepulchre was
nigh at hand.
RESURRECTION AND ASCEN-
SION OF JESUS CHRIST.
Jno. 20—1 The first day of the
week cometh Mary Magdalene
early, when it was yet dark, unto
the sepulchre, and seeth the stone
taken away from the sepulchre.
2 Then she runneth, and cometh
to Simon Peter, and to the other
disciple, whom Jesus loved, and
saith untothem, They have taken
away the Lord out of the sepul-
chre, and we know not where they
have laid him.
3 Peter therefore went forth, and
that other disciple, and came to
the sepulchre.
519
4 So they ran both together : and
the otlier disciple did outrun Pe-
ter, and came first to the sepul-
chre.
5 And he stooping down, and
looking in, saw the linen clothes
lying; yet went he not in.
G Then conieth Simon Peter fol-
lowing him, and went into the
sepulclire, and seeth the linen
clothes lie,
7 And the napkin, that was
about his head, not lying with the
linen clothes, but wrapped to-
gether in a place by itself.
8 Then went in also that other
disciple, which came first to the
sepulchre, and he saw, and be-
lieved.
9 For as yet they knew not the
Scripture, that he must rise again
from the dead.
10 Then the disciples went away
again unto their own home.
11 But Mary stood without at
the sepulchre weeping: and as she
wept, she stooped down, and
looked into the sepulchre,
12 And seeth two angels in white
sitting, the one at the head, and
the other at the feet, where the
body of Jesus had lain.
13 And they say unto her, Wo-
man, why weepest thou? Shesaith
unto them. Because they have
taken away my Lord, and I know
not where they have laid him.
14 And when she had thus said,
she turned herself back, and saw
•lesus standing, and knew not
that it was Jesus.
15 Jesus saith unto her. Woman,
why weepest thou? whom se^kest
thou? She, supposing him to be
the gardener, saith unto him. Sir,
if thou have borne him hence, tell
me where thou hast laid him, and
1 will take him away.
16 Jesus saith unto her, Mar>'.
She turned herself, and saith unlo
him, Rahboni; which is to say,
Master.
17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch
me not; for I am not yet ascend-
ed to my Father: but go to my
brethren, and saj' unto them, I
a.scend unto my Father, and your
Father; and to my God, and.j'our
God.
18 Mary Magdalene came and
told the disciples that she had
seen the Lord, and that he had
spoken these things unto her.
19 H Then the same day at even-
ing, being the first day of the
week, when the doors were shut
where the disciples were assem-
bled for fear of the Jews, came
Jesus and stood in the midst, and
saith unto them, Peace be unto
you.
20 And he shewed unto them hLs
hands and his side. Then were
the disciples glad, when they saw
the Lord. See Zee. 13. 6, p. 485.
21 Then said Jesus again. Peace
be unto you: as my Father hath
sent me, even so send I you.
22 And when he had said this, he
breathed on them, and saith unto
them. Receive ye the Holy Ghost :
23 Whosesoever sins ye remit,
they are remitted unto them ; and
whosesoever sins ye retain, they
are retained.
24 But Thomas, one of the
twelve, called Didymus, was not
with them when Jesus came.
25 The other disciples therefore
.said unto him. We have seen the
Lord. But he said unto them. Ex-
cept I shall see in his hands the
print of the nails, and put my fin-
ger into the print of the nails, and
thrust my hand into his side, I
will not believe.
26 And after eight days again
his disciples were within, and
Thomas with them : then came
Jesus, the doors being shut, and
stood in the midst, and said.
Peace be unto you.
27 Then saith he to Thomas.
Reach hither thy finger, and be-
hold my hands; and reach hither
thy hand, and thrust it into my
side ; and be not faithless, but be-
lieving.
28 And Thomas answered and
said unto him. My Lord and my
God.
29 Jesussaithuntohim, Thomas,
because thou hast seen me, thou
hast believed: blessed are they
that have not seen, and yet have
believed.
30 And many other signs truly
did -Jesus in the presence of his
disciples, which are not written
in this book :
31 But these are written, that ye
might believe that Jesus is the
Christ, the Son of God ; and that
believing ye might have life
through his name.
Jno. 21—1 After these things Je-
sus shewed himself again to the
disciples at the sea of Tiberias;
and on this wise shewed he him-
self.
520
2 There were together Simon Pe-
ter, aud Thomas called Didymus,
aud Nathanael of Caiia in Gali-
lee, and the sons of Zebedee, aud
two other of his disciples.
3 Simon Peter saith unto them,
I go a tishing. They say unto
him. We also go with thee. They
went forth, and entered into a
ship immediately ; and that night
they caught nothing.
4 But when tlie morning was
now come, Jesus stood on the
shore ; but the disciples knew not
that it was Jesus.
5 Then Jesus saith unto them.
Children, have ye any meat?
They answered him. No.
6 And he said unto them. Cast
the net on the right side of the
ship, aud ye shall tind. They cast
therefore, and now they were not
'able to draw it for the multitude
of fishes.
7 Therefore that disciple whom
Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is
the Lord. Now when Simon Pe-
ter heard that it was the Lord, he
gii-t his fisher's coat unto him,
(for he was naked, and did cast
himself into the sea.
8 And the other disciples came
in a little ship, (for they were not
far fi-om land, but as it were two
hundred cubits,) draggmg the net
with fishes.
9 As soon then as they were come
to land, they saw a fire of coals
there, and fish laid thereon, and
. bread.
10 Jesus saith imto them, Brmg
of the hsh which ye have now
caught.
11 Simon Peter went up, and
drew the net to land full of great
fishes, a hundred and fifty and
tln-ee: and for all there were so
many, yet was not the net broken .
12 Jesus saith unto them. Come
and dine. And none of the disci-
ples durst ask liim. Who art thou?
knowing that it was the Lord.
13 Jesus then cometh, and tak-
eth bread, and giveth them, and
fish likewise.
14 This is now the third time
that Jesus shewed himself to his
disciples, after that he was risen
from the dead.
1.5 So when they had dined,
Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Si-
mon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me
more than these? He saith unto
him. Yea, Lord; thou knowest
that I love thee. He saith unto
liim. Feed my lambs.
IG He saith to him again the sec-
ond time, Simon, son of Jonas,
lovest thou me? He saith unto
him. Yea, Lord; thou knowest
that I love thee. He saith unto
hiin. Feed my sheep.
17 He saith unto him the third
time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest
thou me? Peter was grieved be-
cause he said unto him the third
time, Lovest thou me? And he
said unto him. Lord, thou knowest
all things; thou knowest that I
love thee. Jesus saith unto him,
Feed my sheep.
18 Verily, verily, I say unto
thee. When thou wast young, thou
girdedst thyself, and walkedst
whither thou wouldest : but when
thou shalt be old, thou shalt
stretch forth thy hands, and an-
other shall gird thee, and can-y
thee whither thou wouldest not.
19 This spake he, signifying by
what death he should glorify God.
And when he had spoken this, he
saitli unto him. Follow me.
20 Then Peter, turning about,
seeth the disciple whom Jesus
loved following ; which alsoleaned
on his breast at supper, and said.
Lord, which is he that betrayeth
thee?
21 Peter seeing him saith to Je-
sus, Lord, and what shall this
man do?
22 Jesus saith unto him. If I
will that he tarry till 1 come,
what is that to thee? follow thou
me,
23 Then went this saying abroad
among the brethren, that that
disciple should not die: yet Jesus
said not unto him, He shall not
die; but. If I will that he tarry
till I come, what is that to
thee? , , . ,
24 This is the disciple which tes-
titieth of these things, and wrote
these things : and we know that
his testimony is true.
25 And there are also many other
things which Jesus did, the which,
if they should be written every
one, I suppose that even the world
itself could not contain the books
that should be written. Amen.
Mat. 28—1 In the end of the sab-
bath, as it began to dawn toward
the first day of the week, came
Marv Magdalene and the other
Mary to see the sepulchre.
521
2 And, behold, there was a great
earthquake: for the angel of the
Lord descended from heaven, and
came and rolled hack the stone
from the door, and sat upon it.
3 His countenance was like
lightning, and his rainieut white
as snow :
4 And for fear of him the keep-
ers did shake, and became as
dead men.
5 And the angel answered and
said unto the women, Fear not
ye : for I know that ye seek Je-
sus, which was crucified.
6 He is not here: for he is risen,
as he said. Come, see the place
where the Lord lay.
7 And go quickly, and tell his
disciples that he is risen from
the dead! and. behdld.he goeth
before you into Galilee; there
shall ye see him: lo, I have told
you.
8 And they departed quickly
from the sepulchre with fear and
great joy; and did run to bring
his disciples word.
9 And as they went to tell his
disciples, behold, Jesus met them,
saying. All hail. And they came
and held him by the feet, and
worshipped him.
10 Then said Jesus unto them.
Be not afraid: go tell mv breth-
ren that they go into Galilee, and
there shall they see me.
11 Now when they were going,
behold, some of the watch came
into the city, and shewed unto
the chief priests all the things
that were done.
12 And when they were assem-
bled with the elders, and had
taken counsel, they gave large
money unto the soldiers,
13 Saying. Say ye, His disciples
came by night, and stole him
away while we slept.
14 And if this come to the gov-
ernor's ears, we will persuade him,
and secure you.
15 So they took the money, and
did as tliey were taught: and
this saying is commonly reported
among the Jews until this day.
16 Then the eleven disciples
went away into Galilee, into a
mountain where Jesus had ap-
pointed them.
17 And when they saw him,
they worshipped him: but some
doubted.
18 And Jesus came and spake
auto them, saying, All power is
given unto me in heaven and in
earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach
all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father, and of tlie
Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe
all things whatsoever I have com-
manded you: and, lo, 1 am with
you alway, even unto the end of
the world. Amen.
Mar. 1(5—1 And when the sab-
bath was past, Mary Magdalene,
and Mary the motlier of James,
and Salome, had bought sweet
spices, that they might come and
anoint him.
2 And very early in the morn-
ing, the first day of the week,
they came unto the sepulchre at
the riang of the sun.
3 And they said among them-
selves. Who shall roll us away the
stone from the door of the sepul-
chre?
4 And when they looked, they
saw that the stone was rolled
away : for it was very great.
5 And entering into the sepul-
chre, they saw a young man sit-
ting on the right side, clothed in
a long white garment ; and they
were affrighted.
6 And he saith unto them, Be
not affrighted: ye seek Jesus of
Nazareth, which was crucified:
he is risen ; he is not here : behold
the place where they laid him.
7 But go your way, tell his dis-
ciples and Peter that he goeth be-
fore you into Galilee: there shall
ye see him, as he said unto you.
8 And tliey went oitt quickly,
and tied from the sepulchre ; for
they trembled and were amazed:
neither said they any thing to any
man; for they were afraid.
9 Now when Jesus was risen
early the first day of the week,
he appeared first to Mary Magda-
lene, out of whom he had cast
seven devils.
10 And she went and told them
that had been with him, as they
mourned and wept.
11 And they, when they had
heard that he was alive, and had
been seen of her, believed not.
12 After that he appeared in
another form unto tM'o of them,
as they walked, and went into
the country.
13 And they went and told it
unto the residue: neither be-
lieved they them.
14 Afterward he appeared un-
to the eleven as they sat at meat,
and upbraided them with their
unbelief and hardness of heart,
because they believed not them
which had seen him after he was
risen.
15 And he said unto them, do
ye into all the world, and preach
the gospel to every creature.
16 He that believeth and is bap-
tized shall be saved ; but he that
believeth not shall be damned.
17 And these signs shall follow
them that believe; In my name
shall they cast out devils; they
shall speak with new tongues;
18 They shall take up serpents;
and if they drink any deadly
thing, it shall not hurt them ; they
shall lay hands on the siak, and
they shall recover.
19 So then, after the Lord had
spoken unto them, he was re-
ceived up into heaven, and sat on
the right hand of God.
20 And they went forth, and
preached every where, the Lord
working with them, and conhrm-
ing the word with signs following.
Amen. ,. ^
Lu. 21—1 Now upon the nrst day
of the week, very early in the
moruine, they came unto the sep-
ulchre, oringmg the spices which
they had prepared, and certain
others with them.
2 And they found the stone roll-
ed awav from the sepulchre.
3 And they entered In, and found
not the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 And it came to pass, as they
were much perplexed thereabout,
behold, two men stood by them
in shining garments:
5 And as they were afraid, and
bowed down their faces to the
earth, they said unto them. Why
seek ye the living among the
dead?
G He is not here, but is risen : re-
member how he spake unto you
when he was yet in Galilee,
7 Saving, The Son of man must
be delivered into the hands of
sinful men, and be crucified, and
the third day rise again. .
8 And they remembered his
words,
9 And returned from the sepul-
chre, and told all these things un-
to the eleven, and to all the rest.
10 It was Mary Magdalene, and
Joanna, and Mary the mother of
James, and other women that
were with them, which told these
things unto the apostles.
11 And their words seemed to
them as idle tales, and they be-
lieved them not.
12 Then arose Peter, and ran
unto the sepulchre ; and stooping
dovra, he beheld the linen clothes
laid by themselves, and departed,
wondering in himself at that
which was come to pass.
13 And, behold, two of them
went that same day to a village
called Emmaus, which was from
Jerusalem about threescore fur-
longs.
14 And they talked together of
all these things which nad hap-
pened.
15 And it came to pass, that,
while they communed together
and reasoned, Jesus himself drew
near, and went with them.
16 But their eyes were holden
that they should not know him.
17 And he said unto them, What
manner of communications are
these that ye have one to another,
as ve walk, and are sad?
18 And the one of them, whose
name was Cleopas, answering said
unto him, Art thou only a stranger
in Jerusalem, and hast not known
the things which are come to pass
there in these days?
19 And he said unto them, What
things? And they said unto him.
Couceniing Jesus of Nazareth,
which was a prophet mighty in
deed and word before God and all
the people: . . „ . ,
20 And how the chief priests and
our rulers delivered him to be
condemned to death, and have
cnicitied him. .
21 But we trusted that it had
been he which should have re-
deemed Israel: and beside all
this, to day is the third day since
these things were done.
22 Yea, and certain women also
of our company made us astonish-
ed, which were early at the sep-
ulchre;
23 And when they found not his
body, they came, saying, that they
had also seen a vision of angels,
which said that he was alive. .
24 And certain of them which
were with us went to the sepul-
chre, and found it even so as the
women had said: but him they
saw not.
523
25 Then he said i;nto them,
fools, and slow of heart to be- ,
lieve all that the prophets have
spoken :
26 Ought not Christ to have suf-
fered these things, and to enter
into his glory?
27 And beginning at Moses and
all the prophets, he expounded
unto them in all the Scriptures
the things concerning himself.
28 And they drew nigh unto the
village, whither they went: and
lie made as though he would have
gone further.
2i) But they constrained him,
saying. Abide with us; for it is
toward evening, and the day is
far spent. And he went in to
tarry with them.
3() And it came to pass, as he sat
at meat with them, he took bread,
and blessed it, and brake, and
gave to them.
31 And their eyes were opened,
and they knew him ; and he van-
ished out of their sight.
32 And they said one to another.
Did not our heart burn within us,
while he talked with us by the
way, and while he opened to us
the Scriptures?
33 And they rose up the same
hour, and returned to Jerusalem,
and found the eleven gathered to-
gether, and them that were with
them,
34 Saying, The Lord is risen in-
deed, and hath appeared to Simon.
35 And they told what things
were done in the way, and how he
was known of them in breaking
of bread.
3C And as they thus spake, Je-
sus Tiimself stood in the midst
of -them, and saith unto them.
Peace be unto you.
37 But they were terrified and
affrighted, and supposed that
they had seen a spirit.
38 And he said unto them. Why
are ye troubled? and why do
thoughts arise in yoiu hearts?
39 Behold my hands and my
feet, that it is I myself: handle
me, and see ; for a spirit hath not
Hesh and bones, as ye see me have.
40 And when he had thus spoken,
he shewed them his hands and
his feet.
41 And while they yet believed
not for joy, and wondered, he said
unto them, Have ye here any
meat?
42 And they gave him a piece of
a broiled fish, and of a honey-
comb.
43 And he took it, and did eat
before them.
44 And he said unto them, These
are the words which I spake unto
you, while I was yet with you.
that all things must be fulfilled,
which were written in the law of
Moses, and in the prophets, and
in the psalms, concerning me.
45 Then opened he their under-
standing, that they might under-
stand the Scriptures,
46 And said unto them. Thus it
is written, and thus it behooved
Christ to suif er, and to rise from
the dead the third day:
47 And that repentance and re-
mission of sins should be preached
in his name among all nations,
beginning at Jerusalem.
48 And ye are witnesses of these
things.
49 And, behold, I send the prom-
ise of my Father upon you: but
tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem,
until ye be endued with power
from on high.
50 H And lie led them out as far
as to Bethany, and he lifted up
liis hands, and blessed themi.
51 And it came to pass, while he
blessed them, he was parted from
them, and carried up into heaven.
52 And they worshipped him.
and returned to Jerusalem with
great joy :
53 And were continually in the
temple, praising and blessing God.
Amen.
Ac. 1—1 The former treatise have
I made, O Theophilus, of all that
Jesus began botli to do and teach,
2 Until the day in which he was
taken up, after that he through
the Holy Ghost had given com-
mandments unto the apostles
whom he had chosen:
3 To whom also he shewed him-
self alive after his passion by
many infallible proofs, oeing seen
of them forty days, and speakmg
of the things nertaining to the
kingdom of God :
4 And, being assembled togeth-
er with them, commanded them
that they should not depart from
Jerusalem, but wait for the prom-
ise of the Father, which, saith he.
ye have heard of me.
5 For John truly baptized with
water; but ye shall he baptized
524
with tlie Holy Ghost not mauy
days hence
6 Whentheywerecome together,
they asked of him, saying, Lord,
wilt thou at this time restore
again the kingdom to Israel ?
7 And he said unto them. It is
not tor you to know the times or
the seasons,which the Father hath
put in his own power.
8 But ye shall receive power,
after that the Holy Ghost is come
upon you: and ye shall be wit-
nesses unto me both in Jerusalem,
Judea, Samaria, and unto the ut-
termost part of the earth.
9 And when he had spoken the.se
things, while they beheld, he was
taken up; and a cloud received
him out of their sight.
10 And while they looked stead-
fa.stly toward heaven as he went
up, behold, twomeu stood by them
in white apparel ;
11 Which also said. Ye men of
Galilee, why stand ye gazmg up
into heaven ? this same Jesus,
which is taken up from you, shall
so come in like manner as ye have
seen him go into heaven.
12 Then returned they to Jeru-
salem from mount Olivet, which
is a sabbath day's iournev.
1 Co. 15—3 For I Paul delivered
unto you tirst of all that which 1
also received, how that Clu-ist died
for our sins according to the Scrip-
tures ;
4 And that he was buried, and
that he rose again the third day
according to the Scriptures:
5 And that he was seen of Ce-
phas, then of the twelve:
6 After that, lie was seen of
above live himdred brethren at
once; of whom the greater part
remain unto this present, but some
are fallen asleep.
7 After that, he was seen of
James; then of all the apostles.
8 And last of all he was seen of
tne also, as of one bom out of due
time.
9 For I am the least of the apos-
tles, that am not meet to be called
an apostle, because I persecuted
the church of God.
10 But by the grace of God I am
■what I am : and his grace which
was bestowed upon me was not in
vain ; but I laboured more abun-
dantly than they all: yet not I,
but the grace of God which was
Tvith me.

He is antichrist, that denieth the

whether they are of God: because

that Jesus Christ is come in the
tiesli is of God :
3 And every spirit that confess-
eth not that Jesus Christ is come
in the flesh is not of God . and this
is that spirit of antichrist, whereof
ye have heard that it should come ;
and even now already is it in the
world.
2 Jno. 1—7 For many deceivers

confess not that Jesus Christ is

ceiver and an antichrist.
PETER HEALS A CRIPPLE.
Ac. 3—1 Now Peter and John
went up together into the temple
at the horn' of prayer, being the
ninth hour.
2 And a certain man lame from
his mother's womb was earned,
whom they laid daily at the gate
ofthe temple which iscalled Beau-
tiful, to asK alms of them that en-
tered into the temple ;
3 Who, seeing Peter and John
about to go into the temple, asked
an alms.
4 And Peter, fastening his eyes
upon hini with John, said. Look
on us.
5 And he gave heed unto them,
expecting to receive something of
them.
6 Then Perer said. Silver and
gold have I none; but such as I
have give I thee: In the name of
Jesus Clu-ist of Nazareth rise up
and walk.
7 And he took him by the right
hand, and lifted him up: and im-
mediately hisfeet and ankle bones
received strength.
8 And lie leaping up stood, and
walked, and entered with them
into the temple, walking, and
leaping, and praising God.
DEATH OF ANANIAS AND
SAPPHIRA.
Ac. 5—1- But a certain man
named Ananias, with Sapphira
his wife, sold a possession,
2 And kept back part of the
price, his wife also be big privy to
it, and broiiglit a certain part, and
laid it at the apostles' feet.
3 But Peter said, Ananias, why
hath Satan filled thine heart to lie
to the Holy Ghost, and to keep
back part of the price of the land ?
4 W bile it remained, was it not
thine own ? and after it was sold,
was it not in thine own power?
why hast thou conceived this
thing in thine heart ? thou hast
not lied ruito men, but unto God.
5 And Ananias hearing these
words fell down, and gave up the
ghost : and great fear came on all
them that heard these things.
6 And the young men arose,
wound him up, and carried him
out, and buried him.
7 And it was about the space of
three hours after, when his wife,
not knowing what was done,
came in.
8 And Peter answered unto her.
Tell me whether ye sold the land
for so much ? And she said, Yea,
for so much.
9 Then Peter said unto her. How
is it that ye have agreed together
to tempt the Spirit of the Lord ?
behold, the feet of them which
have buried thy husband are at
the door, and shall carry thee out.
10 Then fell she down straight-
way at his feet, and yielded up the
ghost: and the youug men came
ni, and found her dead, and, carry-
ing her forth, buried her by her
husband.
11 And great fear came upon all
the church, and upon as many as
heard these things.
PHILIP AND THE EUNUCH.
Ac. 8—26 And the angel of the
Lord spake unto Philip, saying.
Arise, and go toward the .south,
unto the way that goeth down
from Jerusalem unto Gaza.
27 And he arose and went: and,
behold, a man of Ethiopa, a
525
eunuch of great authority under
Candace queen of the Ethiopians,
who had the charge of all her
trea.sure, and had come to Jerusa-
lem for to worship,
28 Was returning, and sitting in
his chariotread Esaiasthepropliet.
29 Then tlie Spirit said unto
Philip, Go near.
30 And Philip ran thither to him,
and heard him read the prophet
Esaias, and said, Understaudest
thou what thou readest?
31 And he said. How can I, ex-
cept some man should guide me ? -
And he desired Philip that he
would come up and sit with him.
32 The place of the Scripture
which he read was this.He was led
as a sheep to the slaughter- and
like a lauib dumb before his shear-
er, so opened he not his mouth:
33 In his humiliation his judg-
ment was taken iiway: and who
shall declare his generation ? for
his life is taken from the earth.
34 And the eunuch answered
Philip, and said, I pray thee, of
whom speaketh the prophet ?
35 Then Philipopened his mouth,
and began at the same Scripture,
and preached unto him Jesus.
36 And as they went on their
way, they came unto a certam
water: and the eunuch said, See.
here is water: what doth hmder
me to be baptized '?
37 And Philip said. If thou be-
lievest with all thine heart, thou
mayest. And he answered and
said, 1 believe that Jesus Christ is
the Son of God.
38 And he commanded the char-
iot to stand still . and they went
down both into the water, both
Philip and the eunuch; and he
baptized him.
39 And when they were come up
out of the water, the Spirit of the
Lord caught away Philip, that tbe
eunuch saw him no more : and he
went on his way rejoicing.
CONVERSION OF SAUL.

Paul.)
Paul's labours and suffering.
See also 1 Co. 2. 2, p. 58 ; 2 Co. 12. l^.
p. 116.
Ac. 9—1 And Saul, yet breathing
out threatenings and slaughtei*
against the disciples of the Lord,
went unto the high priest.
526
2 And desired of him letters to
Damascus to the syuagogues,
that if he foiiud any of this way,
whether they wei-e men or wo-
men, he mi^ht bring them boimd
xuito Jeriis;ilem.
3 And as he jo\anieyed, he
came near Damascus: and siid-
denly tliere shiued round about
him a lia;ht from heaven :
i And lie fell to the earth, and
heard a voice sayuig unto him,
Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou
me?
5 And he said. Who art thou,
Lord? And the Lord s;xid, I am
Jesus whom thou persecutest : it
is hard for thee to kick against
the pricks.
6 And he trembling and aston-
ished said. Lord, what wilt thou
have me to do? And the Lord
said unto him. Arise, and go into
the citv, and it shall be told thee
what thou must do.
7 And the men which ioumeyed
-with him stood speechless, hear-
ing a voice, but seeing no man.
S Ami Saul arose from the
earth; and when his eyes were
openevi, lie saw no man: but they
led him bv the hand, and brought
him into Damascus.
y And he was three days without
sight, and neither did eat nordrink.
10 And there was a certain dis-
ciple at Damascus, named Ana-
nias; and to him said the Lord in
a vision, Ananias. And he said,
Behold. I am here. Lord.
11 And the Lord s;iid unto him.
Arise, and go into the street
which is called Straight, and in-
quire in the houvse of Judas for
one called Saul, of Tarsus.
15 For he is a chosen vessel un-
to me, to bear my name before
the Gentiles, and kings, and the
children of Israel:
16 For 1 will shew him how
great things he must suffer for
my name's sake.
17 And Auauias went his way.
and entered into the house; and
putting his hands on him said,
Brot her Saul, the Lord, even Jesus,
that appeared imtothee iiithe way
as thou camest, hath sent me, that
tliou mishtest receive thy sight,
and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
18 And immediately tliere fell
from his eves as it had been scales :
and he received sight forthwith,
and arose, and wasbaptized.
10 And when he had received
meat, he was strengthened. Then
was Saul certain days wit h the dis-
ciples which were at l>amascus.
•Ji) And straightway he preached
Christ in the synagogues, that he
is the Son of God.
•J3 And after that many days
were fultiUed, the Jews took
coiuisel to kill him:
•J4 But their laying wait was
known of Saul. And they watch-
ed the gates day and night to kill
him.
■26 Then the disciples took him
by night, and let iiim down by
the wall in a basket.
■X And when Saul was come to
Jerusalem, he assayed to join
himself to the disciples.
2 Co. 11—23 I am more ; in la-
boui-s more abundant, in stripes
above measure, in prisons more
freiiuent, in deaths oft.
24 Of the Jews live times re-
ceived I forty stripes save one.
25 Thrice was I beaten with
rods, once was I stoned, thrice 1
suffered shipwreck, a night and a
day I have been in the deep;
26 In jourueyiiigs often, in perils
of waters, in perils of robbers, in
perils by mine owij countrymen,
in perils by the heathen, in perils
in the city, in perils in the wilder-
ness, in perils m the sea, in perils
among false brethren;
27 In weariness and painfulness.
in watchings often, in hunger
and thii-st. in fastings often, in
cold and nakedness.
28 Besides those things that are
without, that which cometli up-
on me daily, the care of all the
churches.
32 In Damascus the governor
under Aretas the king kept the
city of the Damascenes with a gar-
rison, desirous to apprehend me :
33 And through a window in a
basket was I let do^^ni by the wall,
and escaped his hands. Ac. 9. 25,

Peter healeth Eneas of the
Bilsy, and restoreth Tabitha. or
orcas, to life.
Ac. 9—32 And it came to pass, as
Peter passed throughout all quar-
ters, he came down also to the
s;iints which dwelt at Lydda.
33 And there he found a certain
man named Eneas, which had
527
kept his bed eight years, and was
sick of the palsy.
?A And Peter said unto him,
Eneas. Jesus Christ maketli th<.-(^
whole: arise, and make thy bed.
And he arose immediately.
36 Now there was at Joppa a
certain dis<*ii>le named lahitha,
which by interpretation is called
J>orcas: this woman was luU.ot
>,'ood works and almsdeeds which
she did. . ^,
:j7 And it came to pass in those
days, that she was sick, and died :
whom when they had washed,
they laid her in an upperchainber.
38 And forasmuch asLydda \vas
nijrh to .Joppa. and the disciples
had heard that Peter was there,
they sent unto him two men, de-
siring him that he would not de-
lay to come to them.
39 Then Peter arose and went
with them. When he was come,
they brought him into the upper
chamber: and allthewidowsstood
by him weeping, and shewuig the
coats and garments winch Dorcas
made, while she was with them.
40 But Peter put them all forth,
and kneeled down, and prayed ;
and turning him to the body said,
Tabitha, arise. And she opened
her eyes: and when she saw Peter.
she sat up. , v. • i, .i
41 And he gave her his hand,
and lifted her up; and when lie
had called the saints and widows,
he presented her alive.
42 And it was known through-
out all Joppa; and many believed
in the Lord. ., . , ^
4:i And it came to pass, that he
tarried many days in Joppa with
one Simon a tanner.
Herod kills James, one of the
Apostles. Peter in pris<jn; his
miraculous deliverance. Herod
killed by an angel.
^c 12—1 Herod the king
stretched forth his hands to vex
certain of the church.
2 And he killed James the broth-
er of John with the sword.
3 And because he saw it pleased
the Jews, he proceeded further to
take Peter also. . . ,
4 And he put Viim m prison, and
delivered him to four quaternions
of soldiers to keephim ;. mtemling
after Easter to bring him forth to
the people.
5 Peter was kept in prison : but
prayer was made without ceasing
of the church unto God for him.
c, And when Herod would liaye
brought him forth, the same night
Peter was sleeping between two
soldiers, bound with two chains:
and the keepers before the door
kept the prison. , , ^.
7 And. behold, the angel of tne
Lord came upon him, and a light
sinned in the prison : and he smote
Peter on the side, and raised hnn
up. savi ng, Arise up quickly. And
his chains fell off from his hands.
8 And the angel said unto him,
Gird thyself, and bind on thy san-
dals: aiuLsohedld. Andhesaith
unto him, Cast thy garment about
thee, and follow me.
9 And he went out, and followed
him ; and wist not tliat it was true
which was done by the angel; but
thought he saw a visioih
10 \Vhen they were past the hrst
and the second ward, they came
unto the iron gate that leadeth
unto the cltv; which opened to
them of his own accord : and thev
went out. and passed on through
one street; and forthwith the an-
gel departed from inrn. .
12 And when he had considered
tlie thing, he came to the house of
Mary the mother of John, who.se
surname was Mark; where many
were gathered together praying.
13 And as Peter knocked at the
door of the gate, a damsel came to
hearken, named Rhoda.
14 And when she knew Peters
voice, she opened not the gate lor
gladness, but ran in, and told hov/
Peter stood before the gate.
15 And they said unto her. Thou
art mad. But she constantly af-
firmed that it was even so. ihen
said they. It is his angel.
16 But Peter continued knock-
ing: and when they had opened
the dof.r, and saw him. they were
a.stonished. , , . . ..^^
17 But he. beckoning unto them
with the hand to hold their peace,
declared unto them how the Lord
had brought him out of the prison.
\nd he said. Go shew these things
unto James, and to the brethren.
And he departed, and went into
another place. .
18 Now as soon as it was day.
there was no small stir amoiig the
soldiers, what wasbecome of Peter.
1 19 And when Herod had sought
for hmi, and found him not, he
examhied the keepers, and com-
manded that theyshould be put to
death. And he went down from
Judea to Cesarea.aud there abode.
20 And Herod was highly dis-
pleased with them of Tyre and Si-
don: but they came with one ac-
cord to him, and, having made
Blastus the king's chamberlain
their friend, desired peace; be-
cause their country was nourished
by the king's country.
21 And upon a set day Herod,
arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon
his throne, and made au oration
unto them.
22 And the people gave a shout,
saying, It is the voice of a god,
and not of a man.
23 And immediately the angel
of the Lord smote him, because
he gave not God the glory : and he
was eatei^ of worms, and gave up
the ghost.
Bar-jesus, or Elymas the sor-
cerer, struck blind by Paul.
Ac. 13—6 And when Barnabas
and haul had gone through the
isle unto Paphos,they found a cer-
tain sorcerer, a false prophet, a
Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus:
7 Which was with the deputy of
the country, Sergius Paulus. a
prudent man ; who called for Bar-
nabas and Saul, and desired to
hear the word of God.
8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for
so is his name by interpreta-
tion) withstood them, seeking to
turn away the deputy fi-om the
faith.
9 Then Saul, (who also is called
Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost,
set his eyes on him,
10 And said.O full of all subtiltv
and all mischief, thou child of the
devil,thou enemy of all righteous-
ness, wilt thou not cease to per-
vert the right ways of the Lord?
11 And now, behold, the hand of
the Lord is upon thee, and thou
Shalt be blind, not seeing the sun
for a season. And immediately
there fell on him a mist and a
darkness ;and he went about seek-
mg some to lead him by the hand.
12 Then the deputy.when he saw
what was done, believed, being
astonished at the doctrine of the
Lord.
Paul heals a cripple. The Jews
persuaded the people to stone
him.
Ac. 14—8 There sat a man at Lys-
tra, impotent in his feet/beiug a
cripple from his mother's womb,
who never had walked:
9 The same heard Paul speak:
who steadfastly beholding him,
and perceiving that he had faith
to be healed,
10 Said with a loud voice, Stand
upright on thy feet. And he
leaped and walked.
11 And when the people saw
what Paul had done, they lifted
up their voices, saying in tlie
speech of Lycaonia, The gods are
come down to us in the likeness of
men.
19 And there came thither cer-
tam Jews from Antioch and Ico-
nium. who persuaded the people,
and.having stoned Paul.drew him
put of the city, supposing he had
been dead.
20 Howbeit, as the disciples
stood round about him, he rose
up, and came into the city.
Paul raised Eutychus to life.
Ac. 20— 6 And we sailed away
from Philippi, and came to Troas
in ti ve days ;where we abode seven
days.
7 And upon the first day of
the week.when the disciples came
together to break bread, Paul
preached unto them, and con-
tmued his speech until midnight.
8 And there were many lights in
the upper chamber, where they
were gathered together.
9 And there sat in a window a
certain young man named Eutv-
chus, being fallen into a dee'p
sleep: and as Paul was long
preaching he sunk down witli
sleep.and fell down from the third
loft, and was taken up dead.
10 And Paul went down, and
fell on him, and embracing him
said. Trouble not yourselves; for
his life is in him.
11 When he therefore was come
up again, and had broken bread,
and eaten, and talked a long
while, even till break of day, so
he departed.
12 And they brought the young
man alive, and were not a little
comforted.

Paul, on his way to Rome, was
shipwrecked ou the Island of
Melita, or Malta.
Ac. 28—1 And when they were
escaped, then they knew that the
island was called Melita.
2 And the barbarous people
shewed us no little kindness: for
they kindled a lire, and received
us every one, because of the pres-
I'Ht rain, and because of the cold.
3 And when Paul had gathered
a bundle of sticks, and laid them
c m the tire, there came a viper out,
and fastened on his hand.
■i And when the barbarians saw
the venomous beast hang on his
hand, thev said.No doubtthisman
IS a murderer, whom, though he
liath escaped the sea, yet veng-
eance suffereth not to live.
5 And he shook off the beast in-
to the tire, and felt no harm.
6 Howbeit they looked when he
shoitld have swollen, or fallen
down dead suddenly: but after
they had looked a great while,
md saw no harm come to him,
I hey changed their minds, and
said that he was a god.
7 In the same quarters were
possessions of the chief man of
the island, whose name was Pu-
blius; who received us, and lodg-
ed us three days courteously.
8 And the father of Publius lay
sick of a fever and of a bloody
tlux: to whom Paul entered in,
and prayed, and laid his hands on
him, and healed him.
9 So when this was done, others
also, which had diseases in the
island, came, and were healed:
10 ^ ho also honoured us with
many honours; and when we de-
parted, they laded us with such
things as were necessary.
11 And after three months we
departed in a ship of Alexandria,
which had wintered in the isle,
whose sign wasCastor and Pollux.
12 And landing at Syracuse, we
tarried there three days.
16 And when we came to Rome,
the centurion delivered the pris-
oners to the captain of the guard :
but Paul was suffered to dwell
by himself with a soldier that
kept him.
30 And Paul dwelt two whole
years in his own hired house, and
received all that came in unto
him.
Gamaliel's advice in regards
the apostles, also the unfortunate
Galileans.
Ac. 5—34 Then stood there up one
in the council, a Pharisee, named
Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had
in reputation among all the peo-
ple, and commanded to put the
apostles forth a little space :
35#Vnd said unto them. Ye men
of Israel, take heed to yourselves
what ye mtend to do as touching
these men.
36 For before these days ro.se up
Theudas, boasting himself to be
somebody; to whom a number of
men, about four hundred, joined
themselves: who was slain: and
all, as many as obeyed him, were
scattered, and brought to nought.
37 After this man rose up Judas
of Galilee in the days of the tax-
ing, and drew away much people
after him : he also perished : and
all, even as many as obeyed him,
were dispersed.
(Ac. 21—38 Art not thou that
Egyptian, which before these days
madest an uproar, and ledde.stout
into the wilderness four thousand
men that were murderers?)
38 And now I say unto you. Re-
frain from these men, and let
them alone: for if this counsel or
this work be of men, it will come
to nought :
39 But if it be of God, ye cannot
overthrow it; lest haply ye be
found even to fight against God.
40 And to him they agreed: and
when they had called the apos-
tles, and beaten them, they com-
manded that they should not
speak in the name of Jesus, and
let them go.
Lu. 13—1 There were present
some that told him of the Gali-
leans, whose blood Pilate had
mingled with their sacrifices.
2 And Jesus answering said un-
to them. Suppose ye that these
Galileans were sinners above all
the Galileans, because they suf-
fered such things?
3 I tell you. Nay: but, except ye
repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
4 Or those eighteen, upon whom
the tower in Siloam fell, and slew
them, think ye that they were
sinners above all men that dwelt
in Jerusalem?
5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye
repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

«hurch in Philadelphia, one of the
seven churches in Asia. For the
other six churches see Re. 1. 11, p.

Re. 3—6 He that hath an ear, let
him hear what the Spirit saith
unto the churches.
7 And to the angel of the church
in Philadelphia write; These
things saith he that is holy, he
that is true, he that hath the key
of David, he that openeth, and no
man shutteth ; and shutteth, and
no man openeth;
8 I "know thy works: behold, I
have set before thee an open door,
and no man can shut it ; for thou
hast a little strength, and hast
kept my word, and hast not denied
my name.
9 Behold, 1 will make them of
the synagogue of Satan, which
say they are Jews, and are not,
but do lie; behold, I will make
them to come and worship before
thy feet, and to know that I have
loved thee.
10 Because thou hast kept the
word of my patience, I also will
keep thee from the hour of temp-
tation, which shall come upon all
the world, to try them that dwell
upon the earth.
11 Behold,! com3 quickly: hold
that fast which thou hast, that no
man take thy crown.
12 Him that overcometh will I
make a pillar in the temple of my
God. and he shall go no more out:
and I will write upon him the
name of my God, and the name of
the city of my God, which is new
Jerusalem, which cometh down
out of heaven from my God: and
I will write upon him my new
name.
Opening of the seven seals in
order, and what followed there-
upon, containing a prophecy to
the end of the world.
Re. 6—1 And 1 saw when the
Lamb opened one of the seals, and
I heard, as it were the noise of
thvmder, one of the fom- beasts
saying. Come and see.
2 And I saw, and behold a white
horse : and he that sat on him had
a bow; and a crown was given
imto him : and he went forth con-
quering, and to conquer.
3 And when he had opened the
second seal, 1 heard the second
beast say. Come and see.
4 And there went out another
horse that was red : and powerwas
given to him that sat tliereon to
take peace from the earth, and
that they should kill one another :
and there was given unto him a
great sword.
5 And when he had opened the
third seal. I heard the third beast
say, Come and see. And I beheld,
and lo a black horse ; and he that
sat on him had a pan.- of balances
in his hand.
6 And I heard a voice in the
midst of the four beasts say, A
measure of wheat for a penny, and
three measures of barley for a
penny ; and see thou hm-t not the
oil and the wine.
7 And when he had opened the
fourth seal, I heard the voice of
the fourth beast say. Come and
8 And 1 looked, and behold a
pale horse: and his name that sat
on him was Death, and Hell fol-
lowed with him. And power was
given unto them over tlie fourth
part of the earth, to kill with
sword, and with hunger, and with
death, and with the oeasts of the
9 And when he had opened the
fifth seal. I saw under the altar
the souls of them that were slain
for the word of God. and for the
testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud
voice, saying, How long, O Lord,
holy and true, dost thou not judge
and avenge our blood on them
that dwellon the earth ?
11 And white robes were given
unto every one of them ; and it
was said unto them, that they
should rest yet for a little season,
imtil their fellow servants also
and their brethren, that should be
killed as they were, should be ful-
filled. , , ,
12 And I beheld when he had
opened the sixth seal. and. lo.
there was a great earthquake;
and the sun became black as sack-
cloth of hair, and the moon be-
came as blood;
13 And the stars of heaven fell
unto the earth, even as a fig tree
casteth her untimely figs, when
she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14 And the heaven departed as a
531
scroll when it is rolled together;
aud eveiT mountain and island
were moved out of their places.
15 And the kings of the earth,
and the great men, and the rich
men, and the chief captains, and
the mighty men, and every hond
man, and every free man, hid
themselves in the dens and in the
rocks of the mountains ;
16 And said to the mountains
and rocks. Fall on-ns, and hide us
from the face of him that sitteth
on the throne, and from the wrath
of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of his wrath
is come ; aud who shall he able to
stand?
OPENING OF THE SEVENTH
SEAL.
The seven angels with trumpets,
tlie golden censer and golden
altar.
Re. 8—1 And when he had
opened the seventh seal, there
was silence in heaven about the
space of half an hour.
2 And 1 saw the seven angels
which stood before God; and to
them were given seven trumpets.
3 And another angel came and
stood at the altar, having a golden
censer; and there was given unto
him much incense, that he should
offer it with the prayers of all
saints upon the golden altar which
was before the throne.
4 And the smoke of the incense,
which came with the prayers of
the saints, ascended up before
God out of the angel's hand.
5 And the angel took the censer,
and tilled it with fire of the altar,
and cast it into the earth: and
there were voices, and thunder-
iugs, and lightnings, and an earth-
quake.
6 And the seven angels which
had the seven trumpets prepared
themselves to sound.
7 The first angel sounded, and
there followed hail and fire min-
gled with blood, and they were
cast upon the earth: and the third
part of trees was burnt up, aud all
green grass was burnt up.
8 And the second angel sounded,
and as it were a great mountain
burning with lire was cast into the
sea: and the third part of the sea
became blood ;
9 Aud the third part of the creat-
ures which were in the sea, and
had life, died ; and the third part
of the ships were destroyed.
10 And the third angel .sounded,
and there fell a great star from
heaven, burning as it were a lamp,
and it fell upon the third part of
the rivers, and upon the fountains
of waters ;
11 And the name of the star is
called Wormwood: and the third
part of the waters became worm-
wood ; and many men died of the
waters, because they were made
bitter.
12 And the fourth angel soimd-
ed, and the third part of the sun
was smitten, and tne third part of
the moon, and the third part of
the stars; so as the third part of
them was darkened, and the day
shone not for a third part of it,
and the night likewise.
13 And I beheld, and heard an
angel flying through the midst of
heaven, saying with a loud voice,
Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters
of the earth by reason of the other
voices of the trumpet of the three
angels, which are yet to sound.
See fifth and sixth angel. Re. 9. 1,
13, p. 118, 119.
The two witnesses, the seventh
angel, "and the temple of God
was opened in heaven."
Re. 11—3 And I will give power
unto my two witnesses, and they
shall prophesy a thousand two
hundred and threescore days,
clothed in sackcloth.
4 These are the two olive trees,
and the two candlesticks standing
before the God of the earth.
5 Andif any man will hurt them,
lireproceedethoutof their mouth,
and devoureth their enemies: and
if any man will hurt them, he
must in this manner be killed.
6 These have power to shut heav-
en, that it rain not in the days of
their prophecy: and have power
over waters to turn them to blood,
and to smite the earth with all
plagues, as often as they will.
7 And when they shall have fin-
ished their testimony, the beast
that ascendeth out of the bottom-
less pit shall make war against
them, and shall kill them.
8 And their dead bodies shall lie
in the street of the great city,
which spiritually is called Sodom
and Egypt, where also our Lord
was crucified.
532
9 And they of the people and
kindreds and tongues and na-
tions sliall see their dead bodies
three days and a half, and shall
not suffer their dead bodies to be
put m graves.
10 And they that dwell upon the
earth shall rejoice over them, and
make merry, and shall send gifts
one to another: because these
two prophets tormented them
that dwelt on the earth.
11 And after three days and a
half the Spirit of life from God
entered into them, and they stood
upon their feet; and gi-eat fear
fell upon them which saw them.
12 And they heard a great voice
from heaven saying unto them,
Come up hither. And thev as-
cended up to heaven in a cloud :
and their enemies beheld them.
13 And the same hourwas there
a great earthquake, and the tenth
part of the city fell, and in the
earthquake were slaiu of men
seven thousand : and the remnant
were affrighted, and gave glory
to the God of heaven.
14 The second woe is past ; and,
behold, the thkd woe cometh
quickly.
15 And the seventh angel
sounded; and there were gi-eat
voices in heaven, saying. The
kingdoms of this world are be-
come the kingdoms of our Lord,
and of his Christ ; and he shall
reign for ever and ever.
16 And the four and twenty eld-
ers, which sat before God on their
seats, fell upon their faces, and
worshipped God,
17 Saying, We give thee thanks,
OLord God Almighty, which art,
and wast, and art to come; be-
cause thon hast taken to thee thy
great power, and hast reigned.
IS And the nations were augry,
and thy wrath is come, and the
time of the dead,thatthey should
be judged,and that thou shouldest
give reward tmto thy servants the
prophets, and to the saints, and
them that fear thy name, small
and great ; and shoitldest destroy
them which destroy the earth.
19 And the temple of God was
opened in heaven, and there was
seen in his temple the ark of his
testament ; and there were light-
nings, and voices, and thunder-
iugs.and an earthquake.and great
hail.
The seven angels with the seven
last plagues. The seven golden
vials full of the wrath of God.
The angels pour out their vials
full of wrath.
Re. 15—1 And I saw another sign
in heaven, great and marvellous,
seven angels having theseven last
plagues; for in them is tilled up
the wrath of God.
2 And I saw as it were a sea of
glass mingled with fire : and them
that had gotten the victory over
the beast, and over his image, and
over his mark, and over the num-
ber of his name, stand on the sea
of glass, having the harps of God,
3 And they smg the song of
Moses the servant of God, and
the song of the Lamb, saying.
Great and marvellous are thy
works. Lord God Almighty; just
and true are thy ways, thou King
of saints.
4 Who shall not fear thee. O
Lord, and glorify thy name? for
thou only art holy: for all na-
tions shall come and worship be-
fore thee ; for thy judgments are
made manifest.
5 And after that 1 looked, and,
behold, the temple of the taber-
nacle of the testimony in heaven
was opened :
6 And the seven angels came out
of the temple, having the seven
plagues.clothed in piu-e and white
linen, and having their breasts
girded with golden girdles.
T And one of the four beasts
gave unto the seven angels seven
golden vials full of the wrath of
God.who liveth for ever and ever.
8 And the temple was tilled with
smoke from the glory of God, and
from his power; and no man was
able to enter into the temple, till
the seven plagues of the seven
angels were fulfilled.
Re. 16—1 And I heard a great
voice out of the temple saying to
the seven angels. Go yoiu- ways,
and pour out the vials of the wrath
of God upon the earth.
2 And the first went, and poured
out his vial upon the earth; ajid
there fell a noisome and grievous
sore upon the men which had the
mark of the beast, and upon them
which worshipped his image.
3 And the second angel poured
out his vial upon the sea ; and it
became as the blood of a dead
^S3
man: and every living soul died
in the sea.
4 And the third angel poured
out his vial upon the rivers and
fountains of waters; and they
became blood.
5 And I heard the angel of the
waters say, Thou art righteous, O
Loi'd, which art, and wast, and
shall be, because thou hast judg-
ed thus.
6 For they have shed the blood
of saints and prophets, and thou
hast given them blood to drink ;
for they are worthy.
7 And I heard another out of the
altar say, Even so. Lord God Al-
mighty, true and righteous are
thy judgments.
8 And the fourth angel poured
out his vial upon the sun; and
power was given unto him to
scorch men with tire.
9 And men were scorched with
great heat, and blasphemed the
name of God, which hath power
over these plagues: and they re-
pented not to give him glorv.
10 And the fifth angel poured
out his vial upon the seat of the
bea.st ; and his kingdom was full
of darkness: and they gnawed
their tongues for pain,
11 And blasphemed God because
of their pains and their sores, and
repented not of then- deeds.
12 And the sixth angel poiired
out his vial upon the great river
Euphrates; and the water was
dried up, that the way of the
kings of the east might be pre-
pared.
13 And I saw three unclean
spu-its like frogs come out of the
mouth of the dragon, and the
beast, and out of the mouth of
the false prophet.
li For they are the spirits of
devils, workmg mnacles, which
go forth mito the kings of the
earth and of the whole world, to
gather them to the battle of that
great day of God Almighty.
15 Behold, 1 come as a thief.
Blessed is he that watcheth. and
keepethhisgarments.lesthe walk
naked, and they see his shame.
16 And he gathered them to-
gether into a place called in the
Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
17 And the seventh angel pour-
ed out his vial into the air: and
there came a great voice out of
the temple of heaven, from the
throne, saying, It is done.
18 And there were voices, and
thunders, and lightnings: and
there was a great earthquake,
.such as was not since men were
upon the earth, so mighty an
earthquake, and so great.
19 And the great city was di-
vided into three parts, and the
cities of the nations fell: and
great Babylon came in remem-
brance before God, to give unto
her the cup of the wine of the
fierceness of his wrath.
■20 And every island fled away,
and the mountainswere not found.
21 And there fell upon men a
great hail out of heaven, everv
stone about the weightof a talent :
and men blasphemed God be-
cause of the plague of the hail.
THE INIYSTERYOF BABYLON.
"And I saw a woman sit upon a
scarlet coloured beast. ■"
Re. 17—1 And there came one of
the seven angels which had the
seven vials, and talked with me,
saying unto me. Come hither: I
will shew unto thee the judgment
of the great whore that sitteth
upon many waters ;
2 With whom the kings of the
earth have committed fornica-
tion, and the inhabitants of the
earth have been made drunk with
the wine of her fornication.
3 So he caiTied me away in the
spirit into the wilderness: and
I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet
coloured beast, full of names of
blasphemy, having seven heads
and ten honis.
4 And the woman was arrayed
in purple and scarlet colour, and
decked with gold and precious
.stones and pearls, having a gold-
en cup in her hand full of abom-
inations and filthinessof her for-
nication :
5 And upon her forehead was a
name written, MYSTERY, BAB-
YLON THE GREAT, THE
MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND
ABOMINATIONS OF THE
EARTH.
6 And I saw the woman drunk-
en with the blood of the saints,
and with the blood of the martyrs
of Jesus: and when 1 saw her, I
wondered with great admiration.
7 And the angel said unto me.
Wherefore didst thou marvel? I
534
■will tell thee the mystery of the
■woman, and of the beast that car-
rieth her, which hath the seven
heads and ten horns.
8 The beast that thou sa-west
was. and is not ; and shall ascend
out of the bottomless pit, and go
into perdition: and they that
dwell on the earth shall wonder,
whose names were not ■written ui
the book of life from the founda-
tion of the world, when they be-
hold the beast that was. and is
not, and yet is.
9 And here is the miud which
hath wisdom. The seven heads
are seven mountains, on which the
woman sitteth.
10 And there are seven kings:
five are fallen, and one is, and tne
other is not vet come ; and when
he cometh, he must continue a
short space.
11 And the beast that was, and is
not , even he is the eighth, and is of
the seven, and goeth into perdi-
tion.
12 And the ten horns which thoti
sawest are ten kings, wliich have
received no kingdom as yet ; but
receive power as kings one hour
with the beast.
13 These have one mind, and
shall give their powerandstrength
unto the beast.
14 These shall make war with
the Lamb, and the Lamb shall
overcome them: for he is Lord of
lords, and King of kings: and they
that are with him are called, and
chosen, and faithful.
15 And he saith vmto me. The
waters which thou sawest, where
the whore sitteth. are peoples,
and multitudes, and nations.
16 And the ten horns which thou
sawest upon the beast, these shall
hate the whore, and shall make
her desolate and naked, and shall
eat her flesh, and burn her with
fire. . , .
17 For God hath put m their
hearts to fulfil his will, and to
agree, and give their kingdom
unto the beast, imtil the words of
God shall be fulfilled.
18 And the woman which thou
sawest is that great city, which
reigneth over the kings of the
earth.
The Fall of Babylon as revealed
to Saint John. The kings of the
earth and the merchants and
mariners lament over her.
Re. IS— 1 And after these things
I saw another angel come down
from heaven, having great ix)wer :
and the earth was lignteued with
his glory.
■2 And he cried mightily with a
strong voice, sityiug, Babylon the
great is fallen, is fallen, and is be-
come the habitation of devils, and
the hold of every foitl spirit, and a
cage of everv imclean and hateful
bh-d.
3 For all nations have drunk of
the wine of the wrath of her for-
nication, and the kings of the
earth have committed fornication
with her, and the merchants of
the earth are waxed rich through
the abundance of her delicacies.
See Ho. 12, v. -217.
4 And I heard another voice
from heaven, saying. Come out of
her, my people, that ye be not
partakersof uersuis, and that ye
receive not of her plagues.
5 For hersins have reached imto
heaven, and God hath remember-
ed her iniquities.
6 Reward her even as she re-
warded you, and double imto her
double according to her works: ui
the cup which she hath filled, till
to her double.
7 How much she hath glorified
herself, and lived deliciously, s<;>
much torment and sorrow give
her: for she saith in her heart, I
sit a queen, luid am no widow, and
shall see no sorrow.
8 Therefore shall her plagues
come in one day, deatii, and
mourning, and famine ; and she
shall be utterly burned with fire :
for strong is the Lord God who
judgeth her.
9 And the kings of the earth,
who have committed fornication
and lived deliciouslv with her.
shall bewail her, and lament for
her, when they shall see the
smoke of her biu-nin^,
10 Standing afar off for the fear
of her torment, sayuig, Alas, alas,
that great city Baliylon, that
mighty city I for in one hour is
thv judgment come.
11 And the merchants of the
earth shall weep and mourn over
her: for no man btiyeth their
merchandise any more :
1-2 The merchandise of gold, and
silver, and precious stones, and of
pearls, and tine linen, and purple,
and silk, and scarlet, and all tnv-
ine wood, and all manner vessel.s
535
of ivorv, and all manner vessels of
most precious wood, and of brass,
and iron, and marble,
13 And cinnamon, and odours,
and ointments, and frankincense,
and wine, and oil. and fine llour,
and wheat, and beasts, and sheep,
and horses, and chariots, and
slaves, and souls of men.
14 And the fruits that thy soul
lusted after are departed from
thee, and all things which were
daintv and goodly are departed
from thee, and thou shalt tmd
them no more at all. .
15 The merchantsof these things,
which were made rich by her,
shall stand afar off for the fear of
her torment,weeping and wailing.
16 And saving, Alas, alas, that
great citv, that was clothed in tine
linen, and pm-ple,and scarlet, and
decked with gold, and precious
stones, and pearls!
17 For in one hour so great
riches is come to nought. And
e verv shipmaster, and all the com-
pany in ships, and sailors, and as
many as trade by sea, stood afar
18 And cried when they saw the
smoke of her burning, saying.
What city is like unto this great
city !
19 And they cast dust on their
heads, and cried, weeping and
wailing, saying. Alas, alas, that
great citv, wherein were made
rich all that had ships in the sea
by reason of her costliness! form
one hour is she made desolate.
20 Rejoice over her.thou heaven,
and ye holy apostles and proph-
ets; for God hath avenged you on
her.
21 And a mighty angel took up a
stone like a great millstone, and
cast it into the sea, saying. Thus
with violence shall that great citv
Babvlon be thrown down, and
shall be found no more at all.
22 And the voice of harpers,
and musicians, and of pipers, and
trumpeters, shall be heard no
more at all in thee ; and no crafts-
man, of whatsoever craft he be,
shall be found any more in thee :
and the sound of a millstone shall
be heard no more at all in thee :
23 Andthe light of a candle shall
shine no more at all in thee: and
the voice of the bridegroom and of
the bride shall be heard no more
at all in thee: for thy merchants
were the great men of the earth ;
for by thy sorceries were all na-
tions deceived.
24 And in her was found the
blood of prophets, and of saints.
and of all that were slain upon the
earth.
The armies in heaven. Jesus
Christ the leader. The feast of
the fowls, or the supper of the
Great God. See also Eze. 38 and
39, p. 435, 436.
Re. 19— 11 And I saw heaven op-
ened, and behold a white horse;
and he that sat upon him was
called Faithful and True, and m
righteousness he doth judge and
make war.
12 His eves were as a flame of
lire, and oh his head were many
crowns: and he had a name writ-
ten, that no man knew, but he
himself. , , ,
13 And he was clothed with a
vesture dipped in blood : and his
name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were m
heaven followed him upon white
horses, clothed in fiLae linen, white
and clean. , ,
15 And out of his mouth goeth
a sharp sword, that with it he
should smite the nations: and he
shall rule them with a rod of iron :
and he treadeth the winepress of
the fierceness and wrath of Al-
mighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture
and on his thigh a name written,
KING OF KINGS. AND LORD
OF LORDS.
17 And I saw an angel standing
in the sun; and he cried with a
loud voice, saying to all the fowls
that flv in the midst of heaven.
Come and gather yourselves to-
gether unto the supper of the
great God ; , ^ , *
18 That ve may eat the flesh of
kings, and the flesh of captains\
and the flesh of mighty men, and
the flesh of horses, and of theni
that sit on them, and the flesh of
all men, both free and bond, both
small and great.
19 And I saw the beast, and the
kings of the earth, and their
armies.gathered togetherto make
war against him that sat on the
horse, and against his army.
20 And the beast was taken, and
with him the false prophet that
wrougb*^ »T>4-!4cles before iiim. with
536
which he deceived tliem that had
received the mark of tlie beast,
and them that worshipped his
image. These both were cast
aiive into a lake oi fire bmning
witli brimstone.
21 And tlie remnant were slain
with the sword of him that sat
upon the horse, which sword pro-
ceeded out of his mouth: and all
the fowls were filled with then-
tiesh. ■ ...
Re. 22—12 And, behold, 1 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. p. 37.
16 I Jesus have sent mine angel
to testify unto you these things in
the churches. I am the root and
the offspring of David, and the
bright and morning star.
17 And the Spirit and the bride
say, Come. And let him that
heareth say. Come. And let him
that is athirst come. And who-
socA'er will, let him take the
water of life freely.
18 For I testify unto every man
that heareth the words of the
prophecy of this book, If any man
shall add unto these things, God
i5hall add unto him the plagues
that are written in this bonk :
19 And if any man shall take
away from the words of the book
of this prophecy, God .shall take
away his part out of the book of
life, and out of the holy city, and
from the things which are written
in this book.
20 He which testifieth these
things saith^urely I come quick-
ly: Amen. Even so, come, Lord
Jesus.
21 The grace of our Lord Jesus
Christ be with you all. Amen.
Ec. 12—8 Vanity of vanities,
saith the Preacher; all is vanity.
9 And moreover, because the
Preacher was wise, he still taught
the people knowledge; yea, he
gave good heed, and sought out,
and set in order many proverbs.
10 The Preacher sought to find
out acceptable words, and that
which was written was upright,
even words of truth.
11 The words of the wise are as
goad.s, and as nails fastened by
the masters of assemblies, which
are given from one shepherd.
12 And further, bythe.se, my son,
be admonished : or making many
books there is no end; and much
study is a wearmess of the flesh.
1.3 Let us hear the conclusion
of the whole matter: Fear God,
and keep his commandments: for
this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God shall bring every
work into judgment, with everv
secret thing, whether it be good,
or whether it be evil.
2 Co. 13—11 Finally, brethren,
farewell. Be perfect, be of good
comfort, be of one mind, live in
peace; and the God of love and
peace shall be with you.
12 Greet one another with a
holy kiss.
13 All the saints salute you.
14 The grace of the Lord Jesus
Christ, and the love of God, and
the communion of the Holy
Ghost, be with you all. Amen.

Battles 403-436
Independent of the above
list of killed, there were

sands slain in other ways.
Accordmg to the Bible
everv man, woman, or
child that has been killed,
from the creation of the
world to the present time,
was either killed by the
Lord, by the Lord's com-
mand, or by his knowl-
edge and consent ; for
W8
the Bible teaches us that
the Lord knows every-
thing, sees everything,
guides and directs every-
thing. Even the mind of
man and his actions are
controlled by the Lord,
and therefore man has no
power over himself what-
ever. So, if this is true,
then every man, woman,
and child that has been
killed in battle, mur-
dered, or their life crush-
ed out in any way, it
has all been done by the
will of the Lord. See 1

BELIEVERS SAVED.
Mar. 16—16 He that believeth
and is baptized shall be saved;
but he that believeth not shall be
damned, p. 522.
Jno. 3—16 % For God so loved the
world, that he gave his only be-
f rotten Son, that whosoever be-
ieveth in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life.
36 He that believeth on the Son
hath everlasting life: and he that
believeth not the Son shall not see
life; but the wrath of God abid-
eth on him.
Jno. 5—24 Verily, I say unto you.
He that heareth my word, and be-
lieveth on him that sent me, hath
everlasting life, and shall not
come into condemnation : but is
passed from death unto life.
Jno. 6—47 Verily, verily, I say
unto you, He that believeth on me
hath everlasting life.
Jno. 10—27 My sheep hear my
voice, and I know them, and they
follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal
life.
Jno. 11—26 And whosoever liveth
and believeth in me shall never
die. See also Believers, p. 28;
Saved, p. 256.
I Jno. 5—1 Whosoever believeth
that Jesus is the Christ is born of
God.
10 He that believeth on the Son
of God hath the witness in him-
self: he that belie vetli not God
hath made him a liar; because he
believeth not the record that God
gave of his Son.
II And this is the record, that
God hath given to us eternal life,
and this life is in his Son.
12 He that hath the Son hath
life ; and he that hath not the Son
of God hath not life.
13 These tilings have I written
unto you that believe on the name
of the Son of God; that ye may
know that ye have eternal life,
and that ye may believe on the
name of the Son of God.
Col. 1—12 Giving thanks unto
the Father, which nath made us
meet to be partakers of the inheri-
tance of the saints in light:
13 Who hath delivered us from
the power of darkness, and hath
translated us into the kingdom
of his dear Son:
14 In whom we have redemption
through his blood, even the for-
giveness of sins.
