Exo 23:1 You shall not utter a false report; You shall not put your hand with the wicked, to become a violent witness.

Exo 23:4 When you happen on the ox of your enemy, or his wandering ass, returning you shall return it to him.

Exo 23:6 You shall not pervert the judgment of your needy one in his lawsuit.
Exo 23:7 You shall keep far away from a false matter. And do not kill the innocent and the righteous; for I will not justify the wicked.
Exo 23:8 And you shall not take a bribe, for the bribe blinds the seeing one, and it perverts the words of the righteous.
Exo 23:9 And you shall not oppress an alien; and you know the life of an alien, since you were aliens in the land of Egypt.
Exo 23:10 And you shall sow your land six years, and you shall gather its produce.
Exo 23:11 And the seventh year you shall let it rest and let it alone, and the needy of your people shall eat. And what they leave, the animals of the field shall eat. So you shall do to your vineyard, to your oliveyard.
Exo 23:12 You shall do your work six days, and on the seventh day you shall rest, so that your ox and your ass may rest, and the son of your slave-girl and your alien may be refreshed.

Exo 23:20 Behold, I am about to send an Angel before you, to guard you in the way, and to bring you to the place which I have prepared.
Exo 23:21 Be on guard before Him, and listen to His voice. Do not be rebellious against Him, for He will not forgive your transgressions; for My name is in Him.
Exo 23:22 For if you fully listen to His voice, and do all which I speak, I will be an enemy to those distressing you, and will be a foe to your foes.
Exo 23:23 For My Angel shall go before you and bring you in to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite; and I will cut them off.
Exo 23:24 You shall not bow down to their gods, and you shall not serve them. And you shall not do according to their works. But tearing you shall tear them down, and smashing you shall smash their pillars.
Exo 23:25 And you shall serve Jehovah your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will remove sickness from your midst.
Exo 23:26 There shall not be one miscarrying, nor one barren in your land. I will fulfill the number of your days.

Exo 23:28 And I will send hornets before you which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite before you.
Exo 23:29 I will not drive them out from before you in one year, that the land not become a waste, and the beast of the field multiply on you.
Exo 23:30 I will drive them out before you little by little, until you are fruitful and possess the land.
Exo 23:31 And I will set your border from the Sea of Reeds as far as the Sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness as far as the River. For I will give the people of the land into your hand. And you shall drive them out before you.
Exo 23:32 You shall not cut a covenant for them and for their gods.
Exo 23:33 They shall not dwell in your land, lest they cause you to sin towards Me. If you serve their gods, it will be a snare to you.

Exo 22:2 If the thief is found breaking in, and is stricken and dies, no blood shall be shed for him.

Exo 22:10 When a man gives an ass or an ox to his neighbor; or a sheep, or any animal to keep, and it dies, or is injured, or is captured, no one seeing it,
Exo 22:11 an oath of Jehovah shall be between them both, that he has not put his hand to his neighbor’s goods. And its owner shall take it, and he shall not repay.
Exo 22:12 And if it is indeed stolen from him, he shall repay to its owner.
Exo 22:13 If it is completely torn in pieces, he shall bring it as a witness; he shall not repay that which was torn.
Exo 22:14 And when a man borrows from his neighbor, and it is hurt, or dies, its owner not being with it, paying he shall repay.

Exo 22:25 If you lend money to My people, the poor with you, you shall not be as a money-lender to him; you shall not put interest on him.
Exo 22:26 If you indeed take the clothing of your neighbor as a pledge, you shall return it to him by the going of the sun,
Exo 22:27 for that is his only covering, that is his covering for his skin. In what shall he lie down? And it shall be, when he cries to Me, I will hear, for I am compassionate.
Exo 22:28 You shall not revile God, and you shall not curse a ruler among your people.
Exo 22:29 You shall not delay giving the fullness of your crops and the juices of your vintage. You shall give to Me the first-born of your sons.
Exo 22:30 So you shall do to your oxen, to your sheep: it shall be seven days with its mother; on the eighth day you shall give it to Me.
Exo 22:31 And you shall be holy men to Me. And you shall not eat flesh torn in pieces; you shall throw it to the dogs.

Exo 21:1 And these are the judgments which you shall put before them:
Exo 21:2 When you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve six years And in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
Exo 21:3 If he comes in with his body, he shall go out with his body. If he was the husband of a wife, his wife shall go out with him.
Exo 21:4 If his master gives him a wife, and she bears sons or daughters to him, the wife and her children shall belong to her master; and he shall go out with his body.
Exo 21:5 And if the slave truly says, I love my master, my wife and my children; I do not desire to go out free,
Exo 21:6 his master shall bring him to God, and one shall bring him to the door, or to the doorpost; and his master shall pierce his ear with an awl, and he shall serve him forever.
Exo 21:7 And when a man sells his daughter for a slave-girl, she shall not go out as the male slaves go out.
Exo 21:8 If she is bad in the eyes of her master who has appointed her for himself, he shall allow her redemption. He shall not have power to sell her to a foreign people, in his deceiving her.
Exo 21:9 And if he chooses her for his son, he shall do to her as is the custom of daughters.
Exo 21:10 If he takes another for himself, her flesh, her clothing, and her conjugal right shall not be diminished.
Exo 21:11 And if he does not do these three for her, she shall go out for nothing, without silver.
Exo 21:12 He that strikes a man so that he dies, dying he shall die.
Exo 21:13 But he who does not lie in wait, and God lets fall into his hand, I will appoint a place for you where he may flee.
Exo 21:14 And when a man seethes insolently against his neighbor, to kill him by deceit, you shall take him from My altar to die.
Exo 21:15 And he who strikes his father or his mother dying shall die.
Exo 21:16 And he that steals a man and sells him, or if he is found in his hand, dying he shall die.
Exo 21:17 And he who curses his father or his mother, dying he shall die.
Exo 21:18 And when men strive, and one strikes his neighbor with a stone, or with a fist, and he does not die, but falls on his bed,
Exo 21:19 if he rises and walks about in the street on his staff, the one who struck him shall be innocent; only he shall pay his sitting; paying he shall pay for his healing.
Exo 21:20 And if a man strikes his male slave or his slave-girl with a rod, and he dies under his hand, avenging he shall be avenged.
Exo 21:21 But if he continues a day or two, he shall not be avenged, for he is his silver.
Exo 21:22 And when men fight, and they strike a pregnant woman, and her child goes forth, and there is no injury, being fined he shall be fined. As much as the husband of the woman shall put on him, even he shall give through the judges.
Exo 21:23 But if injury occurs, you shall give life for life,
Exo 21:24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
Exo 21:25 branding for branding, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
Exo 21:26 And when a man strikes the eye of his male slave, or the eye of his slave-girl and destroys it, he shall send him away free for his eye.
Exo 21:27 And if he causes the tooth of his male slave, or the tooth of his slave-girl, to fall out, he shall send him away free for his tooth.
Exo 21:28 And when an ox gores a man so that he dies, the ox stoning shall be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten, and the owner of the ox is innocent.
Exo 21:29 And if he was an ox apt to gore from yesterday and the third day, and its owner is given warning, and he does not watch him, and he kills a man or a woman, the ox shall be stoned, and its owner also shall die.
Exo 21:30 If a ransom is put on him, he shall give the redemption of his life, according to all which is put on him.
Exo 21:31 Whether he gores a son or he gores a daughter, according to this judgment it shall be done to him.
Exo 21:32 If the ox gores a male slave or a slave-girl, he shall give thirty silver shekels to his master, and the ox shall be stoned.
Exo 21:33 And when a man opens a pit, or when a man digs a pit, and does not cover it, and an ox or an ass falls into it,
Exo 21:34 the owner of the pit shall pay; he shall give silver to its owner, and the dead shall be his.
Exo 21:35 And when a man’s ox strikes against the ox of his neighbor, and it dies, they shall sell the living ox, and they shall divide the silver; and they shall also divide the dead.
Exo 21:36 Or if it was known that he was an ox apt to gore from yesterday and the third day, and his owner does not watch him, he shall pay ox for ox, and the dead shall be his.

Gen 20:1 And Abraham pulled up stakes from there to the land of the Negeb, and lived between Kadesh and Shur, and stayed in Gerar.
Gen 20:2 And Abraham said with regards to his wife Sarah, She is my sister. And Abimelech the king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.
Gen 20:3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night and said to him, Behold, you are about to die because of the woman you have taken, she being married to a husband.
Gen 20:4 And Abimelech had not come near her. And he said, O Lord, will You slay even a righteous nation?
Gen 20:5 And did he not say to me, She is my sister? And she, even she herself said, He is my brother. In the honor of my heart and the purity of my hands I have done this.
Gen 20:6 And God said to him in a dream, Yes, I know that you did this in the honor of your heart, and I also withheld you from sinning against Me. On account of this I did not allow you to touch her.
Gen 20:7 And now return the wife of the man, for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you, and you shall live. And if you do not return her, know that dying you shall die, you and all that are yours.
Gen 20:8 And Abimelech started up early in the morning and called for all his servants. And he spoke all these words in their ears. And the men were greatly afraid.
Gen 20:9 And Abimelech called Abraham and said to him, What have you done to us? And in what have I offended you that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? You have done things to me that ought not to be done.
Gen 20:10 And Abimelech said to Abraham, What did you see that you have done this thing?
Gen 20:11 And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place, and they will kill me for my wife’s sake.
Gen 20:12 And yet she really is my sister, daughter of my father; only not daughter of my mother. And she became my wife.
Gen 20:13 And it happened when God made me wander from my father’s house, even I said to her, This is your kindness which you do to me: at every place where we come there, say of me, He is my brother.
Gen 20:14 Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and male slaves, and slave-girls, and gave to Abraham. And he returned his wife Sarah to him.
Gen 20:15 Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before you. Live where it pleases you.
Gen 20:16 And he said to Sarah, I, behold, I have given a thousand of silver to your brother. Behold, it is for you a covering of the eyes to all who are with you. And with all this you are reproved.
Gen 20:17 And Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech and his wife and his concubines, and they gave birth.
Gen 20:18 For Jehovah had completely closed up every womb of the house of Abimelech because of Sarah, the wife of Abraham.

Gen 19:1 And the two angels came into Sodom at evening. And Lot was sitting at the gate of Sodom. And Lot saw, and he rose up to meet them and bowed his face to the earth.
Gen 19:2 And he said, Behold, now, my lords, please turn in to your servant’s house and lodge, and wash your feet; and rise early and go to your way. And they said, No, for we will lodge in the street.
Gen 19:3 And he much urged them, and they turned in to him and came into his house. And he made a feast for them. And he baked unleavened cakes, and they ate.
Gen 19:4 Before they had laid down, even the men of the city, the men of Sodom, circled the house; from the young to the aged, all the people from its limits.
Gen 19:5 And they called to Lot and said to him, Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, that we may know them.
Gen 19:6 And Lot went out to them, to the door, and he closed the door behind him.
Gen 19:7 And he said, My brothers, please do not act evilly.
Gen 19:8 Behold, now, I have two daughters who have not known a man; please let me bring them out to you and do to them as you see fit; only do not do a thing to these men, on account of this they came into the shade of my roof.
Gen 19:9 And they said, Stand back! And they said, This one came in to visit, and must he always judge? Now we will do evil to you rather than to them. And they pressed on the man, upon Lot violently, and drew near to break the door.
Gen 19:10 But the men put out their hands and brought Lot in to them, into the house, and shut the door.
Gen 19:11 And they struck the men at the door of the house with blindness, from the small to the great; and they struggled to find the door.
Gen 19:12 And the men said to Lot, Who still is here to you? Bring out of this place your sons and your sons-in-law and your daughters, and whoever belongs to you in the city.
Gen 19:13 For we are about to destroy this place, for the cry of them is great before Jehovah, and Jehovah has sent us to destroy it.
Gen 19:14 And Lot went out to speak to his sons-in-law, those taking his daughters. And he said, Rise up, go out from this place, for Jehovah is about to destroy the city. And he seemed as one joking to his sons-in-law.
Gen 19:15 And when the dawn rose, then the angels urged Lot, saying, Rise up, take your wife and your two daughters who are found, lest you be cut off in the depravity of the city.
Gen 19:16 And he lingered. And the men lay hold of his hand and his wife’s hand, and on the hand of his two daughters, Jehovah having mercy on him. And they caused him to go out, and they put him down outside the city.
Gen 19:17 And it happened as they led them outside, he said, Escape for your life! Do not look behind you, and do not stay in all the plain. Escape to the mountain, lest you be swept away.
Gen 19:18 And Lot said to them, Please, no, Lord!
Gen 19:19 Behold, now, Your servant has found grace in Your sight, and You have magnified Your mercy which You have done to me in saving my life. And I am not able to escape to the mountain lest some evil overtake me and I die.
Gen 19:20 Please, now, this city is near, to flee there, and it is a little one. Please let me escape there! Is it not a little thing, that my soul may live?
Gen 19:21 And He said to him, See, I have lifted up your face also as to this thing, without overthrowing the city for which you have spoken.
Gen 19:22 Hurry, escape there, for I am not able to do anything until you have come there. So the name of the city was called Zoar.
Gen 19:23 The sun had gone forth on the earth, and Lot came into Zoar.
Gen 19:24 And Jehovah rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah, from Jehovah out of the heavens.
Gen 19:25 And He overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all those living in the cities, and the produce of the ground.
Gen 19:26 And his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
Gen 19:27 And Abraham started up early in the morning, going to the place where he had stood there before Jehovah.
Gen 19:28 And he looked toward the face of Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain. And he saw. And, behold, the smoke of the country went up like the smoke of a furnace.
Gen 19:29 And it happened when God destroyed the cities of the plain, God remembered Abraham; and He sent Lot out from the overthrow when overturning the cities in which Lot lived.
Gen 19:30 And Lot went up out of Zoar and lived in the mount. And his two daughters were with him. For he feared to live in Zoar. And he lived in a cave, he and his two daughters.
Gen 19:31 And the first-born said to the younger, Our father is old, and there is no man in the land to come in to us as is the way of all the earth.
Gen 19:32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and let us lie with him, that we may keep alive seed of our father.
Gen 19:33 And they caused their father to drink wine that night. And the first-born went in and lay with her father. And he did not know when she lay down nor when she rose up.
Gen 19:34 And on the next day it happened, the first-born said to the younger, Behold, I lay with my father last night. Let us cause him to drink wine tonight also. And you go in and lie with him, so that we may keep alive seed of our father.
Gen 19:35 And they caused their father to drink wine that night also. And the younger rose up and lay with him. And he did not know when she lay down, nor when she rose up.
Gen 19:36 And both the daughters of Lot were with child by their father.
Gen 19:37 And the first-born bore a son and called his name Moab; he is the father of Moab to this day.
Gen 19:38 And the younger also bore a son and called his name Ben-ammi; he is the father of the Ammonites to this day.

Gen 18:1 And Jehovah appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre. And he was sitting at the door of the tent in the heat of the day.
Gen 18:2 And he lifted up his eyes and looked; and, behold, three men were standing by him. And he saw, and he ran to meet them from the entrance of the tent. And he bowed to the ground.
Gen 18:3 And he said, My Lord, if now I have found favor in Your sight, I beg You, do not leave from near Your servant.
Gen 18:4 Please allow a little water to be taken and You wash Your feet, and rest under the tree.
Gen 18:5 And I will bring a bite of bread and will sustain Your heart. Then You may pass on, for this is why You have passed over to Your servant. And they said, Do so, as you have said.
Gen 18:6 And Abraham ran into the tent to Sarah and said, Hurry, prepare three measures of fine meal, knead it and make cakes.
Gen 18:7 And Abraham ran to the herd and brought a son of the herd, tender and good, and gave it to a youth. And he hurried to prepare it.
Gen 18:8 And he took curds and milk and the son of the herd which he had prepared, and he set before them. And he stood by them under the tree. And they ate.
Gen 18:9 And they said to him, Where is your wife Sarah? And he said, See, in the tent.
Gen 18:10 And He said, Returning I will return to you at the time of life; and, Behold! A son shall be to your wife Sarah. And Sarah was listening at the entrance to the tent, and it was behind Him.
Gen 18:11 And Abraham and Sarah were aged, going on in days. The custom as to women had ceased to be to Sarah.
Gen 18:12 And Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After my being old, shall there be pleasure to me; my lord also being old?
Gen 18:13 And Jehovah said to Abraham, Why has Sarah laughed at this, saying, Indeed, truly shall I bear, even I who am old?
Gen 18:14 Is anything too difficult for Jehovah? At the appointed time I will return to you, at the time of life, and there will be a son to Sarah.
Gen 18:15 And Sarah denied, saying, I did not laugh; for she was afraid. And He said, No, but you did laugh.
Gen 18:16 And the men rose up from there and looked on the face of Sodom. And Abraham was going with them, to send them away.
Gen 18:17 And Jehovah said, Shall I hide from Abraham that which I am doing?
Gen 18:18 And Abraham shall become a great and powerful nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
Gen 18:19 For I have known him, so that whatever he may command his sons and his house after him, even they may keep the way of Jehovah, to do righteousness and justice; to the intent that Jehovah may bring on Abraham that which He has spoken of him.
Gen 18:20 And Jehovah said, The cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and their sin is exceedingly heavy.
Gen 18:21 I will go down and see if they have at all done according to the cry coming to Me. And if not, I will know.
Gen 18:22 And the men faced around from there and went toward Sodom. And Abraham was still standing before Jehovah.
Gen 18:23 And Abraham drew near and said, Is it so? Will You cut off the righteous with the wicked?
Gen 18:24 Perhaps there are fifty righteous within the city; is it so You will cut off and will not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous ones that are within it?
Gen 18:25 Far be it from You to act in this way, to put to death the righteous with the wicked. Far be it from You. The Judge of all the earth, shall He not do right?
Gen 18:26 And Jehovah said, If I find fifty righteous within the city, in Sodom, then I will spare all the place because of them.
Gen 18:27 And Abraham answered and said, Behold, I pray, I have undertaken to speak to the Lord, and I am dust and ash.
Gen 18:28 Perhaps there will be lacking five from the fifty righteous, will You destroy all the city for the five? And He said, If I find forty five there, I will not destroy.
Gen 18:29 And he continued still to speak to Him and said, Perhaps forty will be found there. And He said, I will not do it because of the forty.
Gen 18:30 And he said, Please do not my Lord be angry, that I may speak; perhaps thirty will be found there. And He said, I will not do it if I find thirty there.
Gen 18:31 And he said, Behold, I pray, I have undertaken to speak to the Lord; perhaps twenty will be found there. And He said, I will not destroy because of the twenty.
Gen 18:32 And he said, I pray, let not my Lord be angry that I may speak only this time; perhaps ten will be found there. And He said, I will not destroy because of the ten.
Gen 18:33 And when Jehovah had left off speaking to Abraham, He was finished. And Abraham returned to his place.

Gen 17:1 And when Abram was ninety nine years old, Jehovah appeared to Abram and said to him, I am the Almighty God! Walk before me and be perfect;
Gen 17:2 and I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you very much.
Gen 17:3 And Abram fell on his face. And God spoke with him, saying,
Gen 17:4 As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations.
Gen 17:5 And your name no longer shall be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham. For I have made you a father of many nations.
Gen 17:6 And I will make you very fruitful, exceedingly. And I will give you for nations. And kings shall come out of you.
Gen 17:7 And I will establish My covenant between Me and you, and your seed after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to you and to your seed after you.
Gen 17:8 And I will give to you and to your seed after you the land of your sojourning, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession and I will be their God.
Gen 17:9 And God said to Abraham, You shall keep My covenant, you and your seed after you in their generations.
Gen 17:10 This is My covenant which you shall keep, between Me and you and your seed after you: Every male child among you shall be circumcised.
Gen 17:11 And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin. And it shall be a token of the covenant between Me and you.
Gen 17:12 And a son of eight days shall be circumcised among you, every male in your generation, he that is born in the house, or bought with silver from any son of a foreigner who is not of your seed.
Gen 17:13 The child of your house and the purchase of your money circumcising must be circumcised. And My covenant shall be in your flesh for a perpetual covenant.
Gen 17:14 And an uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, his soul shall be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant.
Gen 17:15 And God said to Abraham, You shall not call your wife Sarai by her name Sarai, for Sarah shall be her name;
Gen 17:16 and I have blessed her and have also given to you a son from her. Yea, I have blessed her and she shall become nations; kings of people shall be from her.
Gen 17:17 And Abraham fell on his face and laughed. And he said in his heart, Shall one be born to a son of a hundred years? And shall Sarah bear, a daughter of ninety years?
Gen 17:18 And Abraham said to God, Oh that Ishmael might live before You!
Gen 17:19 And God said, Your wife Sarah truly shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac. And I have established My covenant with him for a perpetual covenant with his seed after him.
Gen 17:20 And as to Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I have blessed him and will make him fruitful and will multiply him exceedingly. He shall father twelve chiefs, and I will make him a great nation.
Gen 17:21 And I will establish My covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this time next year.
Gen 17:22 And He finished talking with him. And God went up from Abraham.
Gen 17:23 And Abraham took his son Ishmael, and all the ones born of his house, and all that were bought with his silver, every male among the men of the house of Abraham. And he circumcised the flesh of their foreskins in that same day, even as God spoke to him.
Gen 17:24 And Abraham was a son of ninety nine years when being circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Gen 17:25 And his son Ishmael was a son of thirteen years when being circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Gen 17:26 In the same day that Abraham was circumcised, Ishmael his son also was.
Gen 17:27 And all the men of his house, born in the house or bought with silver from a son of a foreigner, were circumcised with him.

Gen 16:1 And Sarai, Abram’s wife, did not bear to him; and to her belonged a female slave, an Egyptian, and her name was Hagar.
Gen 16:2 And Sarai said to Abram, See, now, Jehovah has kept me from bearing; go in now to my slave-girl; perhaps I may be built up from her. And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.
Gen 16:3 And Sarai, Abram’s wife, took her slave-girl, Hagar, the Egyptian, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife, after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan.
Gen 16:4 And he went in to Hagar and she conceived; and she saw that she had conceived, and her mistress was despised in her eyes.
Gen 16:5 And Sarai said to Abram, My injury be upon you; I gave my slave-girl into your bosom, and she saw that she had conceived, and I was despised in her eyes. Let Jehovah judge between me and you.
Gen 16:6 But Abram said to Sarai, See, your slave girl is in your hand. Do to her what is good in your eyes. And Sarai dealt harshly with her, and she fled from before her.
Gen 16:7 And the Angel of Jehovah found her by a well of water in the wilderness; by the well in the way of Shur.
Gen 16:8 And He said, Hagar, Sarai’s slave-girl, where did you come from? And where do you go? And she said, I am fleeing from the face of my mistress, Sarai.
Gen 16:9 And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, Return to your mistress and submit yourself under her hand.
Gen 16:10 And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, I will exceedingly multiply your seed, so that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
Gen 16:11 And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, Behold! You are with child and shall bear a son; and you shall call his name Ishmael, because Jehovah has listened to your affliction.
Gen 16:12 And he shall be a wild ass of a man, his hand against all, and the hand of everyone against him; and he shall live before all his brothers.
Gen 16:13 And she called the name of Jehovah, the One speaking to her, You, a God of vision! For she said, Even here have I looked after the One seeing me?
Gen 16:14 On account of this, the well was called, The Well of the Living One Seeing Me. Behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
Gen 16:15 And Hagar bore a son to Abram, and Abram called the name of his son whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.
Gen 16:16 And Abram was eighty six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.

Gen 15:1 After these things the Word of Jehovah came to Abram in a vision, saying, Do not fear, Abram; I am your shield, your reward will increase greatly.
Gen 15:2 And Abram said, Lord Jehovah, what will You give to me since I am going childless and the son of the inheritance of my house is Eleazar of Damascus?
Gen 15:3 And Abram said, Behold! You have given no seed to me; and lo, the son of my house is inheriting of me!
Gen 15:4 And behold! The Word of Jehovah came to him saying, This one shall not be inheriting. But he that shall come forth out of your own bowels shall be your heir.
Gen 15:5 And He brought him outside and said, Look now at the heavens and count the stars, if you are able to count them. And He said to him, So shall your seed be.
Gen 15:6 And he believed in Jehovah. And He counted it to him for righteousness.
Gen 15:7 And He said to him, I am Jehovah who caused you to come out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to inherit it.
Gen 15:8 And he said, My Lord Jehovah, by what shall I know that I shall inherit it?
Gen 15:9 And He said to him, Take for Me a heifer three years old, and a she-goat three years old, and a ram three years old, and a turtledove, even a nestling.
Gen 15:10 And he took all these for Him, and he divided them in the middle; and he laid each piece against one another, but he did not divide the bird.
Gen 15:11 And the birds of prey came down on the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.
Gen 15:12 And it happened, the sun was going, and a deep sleep fell on Abram. And behold, a terror of great darkness was falling on him!
Gen 15:13 And He said to Abram, Knowing you must know that your seed shall be an alien in a land not theirs; and they shall serve them. And they shall afflict them four hundred years;
Gen 15:14 and I also will judge that nation whom they shall serve; and afterward they shall come out with great substance.
Gen 15:15 And you shall come to your fathers in peace. You shall be buried in good old age.
Gen 15:16 And in the fourth generation they shall come here again; for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
Gen 15:17 And it happened, the sun had gone down, and it was dark. Behold! A smoking furnace and a torch of fire that passed between those pieces!
Gen 15:18 On that day Jehovah made a covenant with Abram, saying, I have given this land to your seed, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates,
Gen 15:19 the Kenite, and the Kenizzite, and the Kadmonite,
Gen 15:20 and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the giants,
Gen 15:21 and the Amorite and the Canaanite, and the Girgashite, and the Jebusite.

Gen 14:1 And it happened in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Tidal king of the nations;
Gen 14:2 they made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar.
Gen 14:3 All these were joined together to the valley of Siddim, which is the Salt Sea.
Gen 14:4 They served Chedorlaomer for twelve years, and the thirteenth year they rebelled.
Gen 14:5 And in the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him came and struck the giants in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
Gen 14:6 and the Horites in the hills of Seir, as far as the oak of Paran, which is by the wilderness.
Gen 14:7 And they turned back and came to Enmishpat which is Kadesh, and struck all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites who lived in Hazazon Thamar.
Gen 14:8 And the king of Sodom went out, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar. And they set the battle with them in the valley of Siddim,
Gen 14:9 with Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal the king of the nations, and Amraphel the king of Shinar, and Arioch the king of Ellasar; four kings with the five.
Gen 14:10 And the valley of Siddim was pitted with asphalt pits, and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there. And they that remained fled to the mountain.
Gen 14:11 And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their food, and went away.
Gen 14:12 And they took Lot, the son of Abram’s brother, and his goods, and left; and he was living in Sodom.
Gen 14:13 And one who had escaped came and told Abram the Hebrew; for he was living among the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, the brother of Eshcol and Aner. And these were possessor of a covenant with Abram.
Gen 14:14 And when Abram heard that his brother was captured, even then he led out his trained men, born of his household, three hundred and eighteen. And they pursued as far as Dan.
Gen 14:15 And he divided against them by night, he and his slaves, and he struck them, and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is on the left of Damascus.
Gen 14:16 And he brought back all the goods, and also brought back his brother, and also the women and the people.
Gen 14:17 And the king of Sodom went out to meet him, after he returned from smiting Chedorlaomer and the kings which were with him, to the valley of Shaveh, it being the valley of the king.
Gen 14:18 And Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought out bread and wine; and he was the priest of the most high God.
Gen 14:19 And he blessed him and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of Heaven and earth;
Gen 14:20 and blessed be the most high God, who has delivered your enemies into your hand. And he gave him a tithe of all.
Gen 14:21 And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the persons and take the goods for yourself.
Gen 14:22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lifted up my hand to Jehovah, the most high God, the possessor of Heaven and earth,
Gen 14:23 that I will not take from all that is yours, from a thread to a shoe latchet, and that you may not say, I have made Abram rich.
Gen 14:24 Nothing for me; only what the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who went with me: Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.

Zec 14:1 Behold, the day of Jehovah comes, and your spoil shall be divided among you.
Zec 14:2 For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem. And the city shall be captured, and the houses plundered, and the women ravished. And half the city shall go into exile and the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
Zec 14:3 And Jehovah shall go out and fight against those nations, like the day He fought in the day of battle.
Zec 14:4 And His feet shall stand in that day on the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives shall divide from its middle, from the east even to the west, a very great valley. And half of the mountain shall move toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
Zec 14:5 And you shall flee to the valley of My mountains, for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azal. And you shall flee as you fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah, king of Judah. And Jehovah my God shall come, and all the saints with You.
Zec 14:6 And it will be in that day, there shall not be light; the glorious ones will shrink.
Zec 14:7 And it will be one day which shall be known to Jehovah; not day and not night, but it will be, there will be light at evening time.
Zec 14:8 And it shall be in that day, living waters shall go out from Jerusalem, half of them shall go toward the eastern sea, and half of them toward the western sea; in summer and in winter it shall be.
Zec 14:9 And Jehovah shall be King over all the earth. In that day there shall be one Jehovah, and His name one.
Zec 14:10 All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem. And it shall rise and dwell in its place, from Benjamin’s Gate to the place of the First Gate, to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananeel to the king’s winepresses.
Zec 14:11 And they shall live in it. And there shall not again be a shutting in, but Jerusalem shall dwell safely.
Zec 14:12 And this shall be the plague with which Jehovah will strike all the peoples who have fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh shall rot while they stand on their feet, and their eyes will rest in their sockets, and their tongues shall rot in their mouths.
Zec 14:13 And it shall be in that day, a great panic of Jehovah shall be among them; and they shall each one lay hold of his neighbor, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbor.
Zec 14:14 And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem. And the wealth of the surrounding nations shall be gathered, gold, and silver, and clothing, very much.
Zec 14:15 And so shall be the plague of the horse, the mule, the camel, and the ass, and all the beasts which shall be in those camps, like this plague.
Zec 14:16 And it shall be, everyone who is left from all the nations which came up against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, Jehovah of Hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.
Zec 14:17 And it shall be, whoever will not go up from the families of the earth to Jerusalem to worship the King, Jehovah of Hosts, there shall even be no rain on them.
Zec 14:18 And if the family of Egypt does not go up, nor come in, then the rain shall not be on them, but the plague with which Jehovah shall strike the nations who do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.
Zec 14:19 This shall be Egypt’s offense, and the offense of all nations who do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.
Zec 14:20 In that day there shall be on the bells of the horses, HOLY TO JEHOVAH. And the pots in the house of Jehovah shall be like the bowls before the altar.
Zec 14:21 And every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holy to Jehovah of Hosts. And all those who sacrifice shall come and take of them, and boil in them. And in that day there shall not be a trader in the house of Jehovah of Hosts any more.

Zec 13:1 In that day a fountain shall be opened to the house of David and to those living in Jerusalem, for sin and for impurity.
Zec 13:2 And it shall be in that day, I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall be remembered no more, says Jehovah of Hosts. And I also will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.
Zec 13:3 And it shall be when any shall prophesy again, his father and his mother who gave him birth shall say to him then, You shall not live, for you speak lies in the name of Jehovah. And his father and his mother who gave him birth shall pierce him when he prophesies.
Zec 13:4 And it shall be in that day, the prophets shall be ashamed, each one of his vision when he prophesies, and they shall not wear a hairy garment to deceive.
Zec 13:5 But he shall say, I am not a prophet; I am a man, a tiller of the ground, for a man caused me to buy from my youth.
Zec 13:6 And one shall say to Him, What are these wounds between Your hands? Then He shall answer, Those with which I was struck in the house of those who love Me.
Zec 13:7 O sword, awake against My Shepherd, and against the Man who is My Associate, says Jehovah of Hosts. Strike the Shepherd and the sheep will be scattered. And I will turn My hand on the little ones.
Zec 13:8 And it shall be in all the land, says Jehovah, two parts in it shall be cut off and perish, but the third shall be left in it.
Zec 13:9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and I will refine them as silver is refined. And I will try them as gold is tried. They shall call on My name, and I will answer them. I will say, It is My people, and they shall say, Jehovah is my God.

Zec 12:1 The burden of the Word of Jehovah for Israel, says Jehovah, who stretches forth the heavens, and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man in his midst.
Zec 12:2 Behold! I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling to all the peoples all around, and it shall also be against Judah in the siege against Jerusalem.
Zec 12:3 And in that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who lift it shall be slashed. And all the nations of the earth will be gathered against it.
Zec 12:4 In that day I will strike every horse with panic and his rider with madness, says Jehovah. And I will open My eyes on the house of Judah, and I will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness.
Zec 12:5 And the leaders of Judah shall say in their heart, Those living in Jerusalem shall be my strength in Jehovah of Hosts, their God.
Zec 12:6 In that day I will make the leaders of Judah like a hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire among cut grain. And they shall devour all the peoples all around, on the right hand and on the left hand. And Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her place, in Jerusalem.
Zec 12:7 Jehovah also shall save the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the house of David and the glory of those living in Jerusalem may not be magnified above Judah.
Zec 12:8 In that day Jehovah shall protect around those living in Jerusalem. And it will be, he who is feeble among them in that day shall be like David, and the house of David shall be like God, like the Angel of Jehovah before them.
Zec 12:9 And it shall be in that day, I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
Zec 12:10 And I will pour on the house of David, and on those living in Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of prayers. And they shall look on Me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they shall be bitter over Him, like the bitterness over the first-born.
Zec 12:11 In that day the mourning in Jerusalem shall be great, like the mourning of Hadad-rimmon in the valley of Megiddo.
Zec 12:12 And the land shall mourn, each family apart: the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
Zec 12:13 the family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;
Zec 12:14 all the families who remain, each family apart, and their wives apart.

Zec 11:1 Open your doors, O Lebanon, so that the fire may devour your cedars.
Zec 11:2 Howl, fir tree, for the cedar has fallen, because the majestic trees have been destroyed. Howl, O oaks of Bashan, for the inaccessible forest has come down.
Zec 11:3 A voice of the wailing of the shepherds is heard, for their splendor is destroyed. A voice of the roaring of young lions is heard, for the pride of Jordan is destroyed.
Zec 11:4 For so says Jehovah my God: Feed the flock of the slaughter.
Zec 11:5 Those who buy them kill them and are not held guilty. And those who sell them say, Blessed be Jehovah, for I am rich. And their shepherds do not pity them.
Zec 11:6 For I will never again pity those living in the land, says Jehovah. But, behold! I will cause to be found the men, each one into his neighbor’s hand, and into his king’s hand. And they shall strike the land, and I will not deliver out of their hand.
Zec 11:7 And I fed the flock of slaughter, the truly poor of the flock. And I took two staffs for Myself: the one I called Kindness, and the other I called Union. And I fed the flock.
Zec 11:8 I also cut off three shepherds in one month. And My soul loathed them, and their soul also detested Me.
Zec 11:9 Then I said, I will not feed you; that which dies, let it die; and that which is to be cut off, let it be cut off. And let the ones remaining, each woman, eat the flesh of her neighbor.
Zec 11:10 And I took My staff Kindness and broke it apart, to break My covenant which I had cut with all the peoples.
Zec 11:11 And it was broken in that day, and so the poor of the flock who were watching Me knew that it was the Word of Jehovah.
Zec 11:12 And I said to them, If it is good in your eyes, give My price; and if not, let it go. And they weighed My price, thirty pieces of silver.
Zec 11:13 And Jehovah said to Me, Throw it to the potter, the magnificent price at which I was valued by them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw it to the potter in the house of Jehovah.
Zec 11:14 Then I broke apart My second staff Union, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
Zec 11:15 And Jehovah said to me, Again take to yourself the vessels of a foolish shepherd.
Zec 11:16 For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land; he shall not visit those who are cut off, nor will he seek the young, nor will he heal that which is broken, nor will he sustain that which stands. But he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear off their hoofs.
Zec 11:17 Woe to the worthless shepherd who abandons the flock! The sword shall be against his arm and against his right eye. His arm shall be completely withered, and his right eye shall be totally darkened.

Zec 10:1 Ask rain from Jehovah in the time of the latter rain. Jehovah shall make lightnings. And He gives them showers of rain, grass to each man in the field.
Zec 10:2 For the family idols speak iniquity, and the divining ones have seen a lie and have told false dreams. They comfort in vain. On account of this, they wandered like a flock. They were troubled because there was no shepherd.
Zec 10:3 My anger is kindled against the shepherds, and I will punish the he-goats. For Jehovah of Hosts has visited His flock, the house of Judah, and made them as His splendid horse in battle.
Zec 10:4 From Him came the cornerstone, from Him the nail, from Him came the battle bow, and from Him every ruler together.
Zec 10:5 And they shall be like mighty ones who trample the mud of the streets in the battle. And they shall fight because Jehovah is with them, and they shall make the riders of horses ashamed.
Zec 10:6 And I will make stronger the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph. And I will return to save them, for I have pity on them. And they shall be as though I had not cast them off, for I am Jehovah their God, and I will answer them.
Zec 10:7 And Ephraim shall be like a mighty one, and their heart shall be glad as by wine. And their sons shall see and be glad; their heart shall rejoice in Jehovah.
Zec 10:8 I will whistle for them and gather them, for I have redeemed them. And they shall multiply as they were multiplied.
Zec 10:9 And I will sow them among the peoples, and they shall remember Me in far countries, and they shall live with their sons and return.
Zec 10:10 And I will return to save them out of the land of Egypt and gather them out of Assyria. And I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon, for room shall not be found for them.
Zec 10:11 And He shall pass through the sea of distress and strike the waves in the sea, and all the depths of the Nile shall dry up. And the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the scepter of Egypt shall go away.
Zec 10:12 And I will make them strong in Jehovah, and they shall walk up and down in His name, says Jehovah.

Zec 9:1 The burden of the Word of Jehovah against the land of Hadrach, and its resting place, Damascus, (when the eye of man, and all the tribes of Israel shall be toward Jehovah),
Zec 9:2 and Hamath also borders on it; Tyre and Sidon, though they are very wise.
Zec 9:3 And Tyre shall build a fortress for herself, and shall pile up silver like the dust, and gold like the mud of the streets.
Zec 9:4 Behold! The Lord will expel her, and He will strike her wealth in the sea, and she shall be consumed with fire.
Zec 9:5 Ashkelon shall see and fear; Gaza also shall writhe in great pain; and Ekron shall be ashamed for her hope. And the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
Zec 9:6 And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
Zec 9:7 And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth. But the remnant, even he, shall be for our God. And he shall be as a governor in Judah, and Ekron, like a Jebusite.
Zec 9:8 And I will camp around My house from an army, from one passing by, and from one returning. And an oppressor shall not pass through them again. For now I have seen with My eyes.
Zec 9:9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King comes to you! He is righteous and being victorious, humble, and riding on an ass, even on a colt, the son of an ass.
Zec 9:10 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 to the nations. And His dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.
Zec 9:11 Also you, by the blood of your covenant I have sent out your prisoners from the pit; no water is in it.
Zec 9:12 Turn to the stronghold, O prisoners of hope! Even today I declare I will return double to you.
Zec 9:13 For I have bent Judah for Me as a bow; I filled it with Ephraim. And I will stir up your sons, O Zion, against your sons, O Greece, and make you as the sword of a mighty man.
Zec 9:14 Then Jehovah will be seen over them, and His arrow shall go out as lightning; and the Lord Jehovah shall blow the ram’s horn and shall go forth with the windstorms of the south.
Zec 9:15 Jehovah of Hosts shall defend them. And they shall devour and subdue the slingstones. And they shall drink and be boisterous, as with wine. And they shall be full like a bowl, like the corners of the altar.
Zec 9:16 And Jehovah their God shall save them in that day as the flock of His people; for they are as stones of a crown, lifted up as a barrier over His land.
Zec 9:17 For how great is its goodness, and how great its beauty! Grain shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.

Zec 8:1 And the Word of Jehovah was to me, saying,
Zec 8:2 So says Jehovah of Hosts: I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great wrath.
Zec 8:3 So says Jehovah: I have returned to Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. And Jerusalem shall be called a City of Truth, and the mountain of Jehovah of Hosts, the Holy Mountain.
Zec 8:4 So says Jehovah of Hosts: There shall yet be old men and old women sitting in the streets of Jerusalem; and each man with his staff in his hand because of their many days.
Zec 8:5 And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in its streets.
Zec 8:6 So says Jehovah of Hosts: If it is marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, will it also be marvelous in My eyes? says Jehovah of Hosts.
Zec 8:7 So says Jehovah of Hosts: Behold, I will save My people from the rising sun and from the land of the setting sun.
Zec 8:8 And I will bring them, and they shall live in the midst of Jerusalem. And they shall be for a people to Me, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.
Zec 8:9 So says Jehovah of Hosts: Let your hands be made strong, you who hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, that in the day the house of Jehovah of Hosts is founded, the temple is to be built.
Zec 8:10 For before those days there was no payment for man, nor was there payment for animal; and there was no peace to him from the adversary who went out or came in. For I sent every man, a man against his neighbor.
Zec 8:11 But now I will not be to the remnant of this people as in former days, says Jehovah of Hosts.
Zec 8:12 For there shall be peace for the seed: the vine shall give its fruit, and the ground shall give its produce, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to inherit all these.
Zec 8:13 And it shall be, as you were a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so I will save you, and you shall be a blessing. Do not fear; let your hands be made strong.
Zec 8:14 For so says Jehovah of Hosts, As I purposed to punish you when your fathers provoked Me to wrath, says Jehovah of Hosts, and I did not repent,
Zec 8:15 so again I have purposed in these days to do good to Jerusalem, and the house of Judah. Do not fear.
Zec 8:16 These are the things that you shall do. Let each man speak the truth with his neighbor. Judge with truth and justice for peace in your gates,
Zec 8:17 and let each devise no evil in your heart against his neighbor, and do not love a false oath. For all these I hate, says Jehovah.
Zec 8:18 And the Word of Jehovah of Hosts was to me, saying,
Zec 8:19 So says Jehovah of Hosts: The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall become for joy and gladness and cheerful feasts to the house of Judah. Therefore, love truth and peace.
Zec 8:20 So says Jehovah of Hosts: There shall yet come peoples, and those living in many cities.
Zec 8:21 And those living in one shall go to another, saying, Let us go at once to seek the favor of the face of Jehovah, and to seek Jehovah of Hosts; I will go also.
Zec 8:22 And many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek Jehovah of Hosts in Jerusalem, and to seek the favor of the face of Jehovah.
Zec 8:23 So says Jehovah of Hosts: In those days ten men out of all languages of the nations shall take hold, and will seize the skirt of a man, a Jew, saying, Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.
