Genesis 7.0:

Genesis 7.1: 7Yahweh said to Noah, “Come with all of your household into the ship, for I have seen your righteousness before me in this generation.

Genesis 7.2: 2 You shall take seven pairs of every clean animal with you, the male and his female. Of the animals that are not clean, take two, the male and his female.

Genesis 7.3: 3 Also of the birds of the sky, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive on the surface of all the earth.

Genesis 7.4: 4 In seven days, I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights. I will destroy every living thing that I have made from the surface of the ground.”

Genesis 7.5: 5 Noah did everything that Yahweh commanded him.

Genesis 7.6: 6 Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came on the earth.

Genesis 7.7: 7 Noah went into the ship with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, because of the floodwaters.

Genesis 7.8: 8 Clean animals, unclean animals, birds, and everything that creeps on the ground

Genesis 7.9: 9 went by pairs to Noah into the ship, male and female, as God commanded Noah.

Genesis 7.10: 10 After the seven days, the floodwaters came on the earth.

Genesis 7.11: 11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the sky’s windows opened.

Genesis 7.12: 12 It rained on the earth forty days and forty nights.

Genesis 7.13: 13 In the same day Noah, and Shem, Ham, and Japheth—the sons of Noah—and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ship—

Genesis 7.14: 14 they, and every animal after its kind, all the livestock after their kind, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort.

Genesis 7.15: 15 Pairs from all flesh with the breath of life in them went into the ship to Noah.

Genesis 7.16: 16 Those who went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him; then Yahweh shut him in.

Genesis 7.17: 17 The flood was forty days on the earth. The waters increased, and lifted up the ship, and it was lifted up above the earth.

Genesis 7.18: 18 The waters rose, and increased greatly on the earth; and the ship floated on the surface of the waters.

Genesis 7.19: 19 The waters rose very high on the earth. All the high mountains that were under the whole sky were covered.

Genesis 7.20: 20 The waters rose fifteen cubits1 higher, and the mountains were covered.

Genesis 7.21: 21 All flesh died that moved on the earth, including birds, livestock, animals, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every man.

Genesis 7.22: 22 All on the dry land, in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, died.

Genesis 7.23: 23 Every living thing was destroyed that was on the surface of the ground, including man, livestock, creeping things, and birds of the sky. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ship.

Genesis 7.24: 24 The waters flooded the earth one hundred fifty days.

Genesis 10.0:

Genesis 10.1: 10Now this is the history of the generations of the sons of Noah and of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood.

Genesis 10.2: 2 The sons of Japheth were: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.

Genesis 10.3: 3 The sons of Gomer were: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.

Genesis 10.4: 4 The sons of Javan were: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

Genesis 10.5: 5 Of these were the islands of the nations divided in their lands, everyone after his language, after their families, in their nations.

Genesis 10.6: 6 The sons of Ham were: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.

Genesis 10.7: 7 The sons of Cush were: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah were: Sheba and Dedan.

Genesis 10.8: 8 Cush became the father of Nimrod. He began to be a mighty one in the earth.

Genesis 10.9: 9 He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh. Therefore it is said, “like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Yahweh”.

Genesis 10.10: 10 The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

Genesis 10.11: 11 Out of that land he went into Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah,

Genesis 10.12: 12 and Resen between Nineveh and the great city Calah.

Genesis 10.13: 13 Mizraim became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim,

Genesis 10.14: 14 Pathrusim, Casluhim (which the Philistines descended from), and Caphtorim.

Genesis 10.15: 15 Canaan became the father of Sidon (his firstborn), Heth,

Genesis 10.16: 16 the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites,

Genesis 10.17: 17 the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites,

Genesis 10.18: 18 the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad.

Genesis 10.19: 19 The border of the Canaanites was from Sidon—as you go toward Gerar—to Gaza—as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim—to Lasha.

Genesis 10.20: 20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, according to their languages, in their lands and their nations.

Genesis 10.21: 21 Children were also born to Shem (the elder brother of Japheth), the father of all the children of Eber.

Genesis 10.22: 22 The sons of Shem were: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram.

Genesis 10.23: 23 The sons of Aram were: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.

Genesis 10.24: 24 Arpachshad became the father of Shelah. Shelah became the father of Eber.

Genesis 10.25: 25 To Eber were born two sons. The name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided. His brother’s name was Joktan.

Genesis 10.26: 26 Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,

Genesis 10.27: 27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,

Genesis 10.28: 28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba,

Genesis 10.29: 29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.

Genesis 10.30: 30 Their dwelling extended from Mesha, as you go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east.

Genesis 10.31: 31 These are the sons of Shem, by their families, according to their languages, lands, and nations.

Genesis 10.32: 32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, by their generations, according to their nations. The nations divided from these in the earth after the flood.

Genesis 28.0:

Genesis 28.1: 28Isaac called Jacob, blessed him, and commanded him, “You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.

Genesis 28.2: 2 Arise, go to Paddan Aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother’s father. Take a wife from there from the daughters of Laban, your mother’s brother.

Genesis 28.3: 3 May God Almighty bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, that you may be a company of peoples,

Genesis 28.4: 4 and give you the blessing of Abraham, to you and to your offspring with you, that you may inherit the land where you travel, which God gave to Abraham.”

Genesis 28.5: 5 Isaac sent Jacob away. He went to Paddan Aram to Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob’s and Esau’s mother.

Genesis 28.6: 6 Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan Aram, to take him a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he gave him a command, saying, “You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;”

Genesis 28.7: 7 and that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Paddan Aram.

Genesis 28.8: 8 Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan didn’t please Isaac, his father.

Genesis 28.9: 9 Esau went to Ishmael, and took, in addition to the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife.

Genesis 28.10: 10 Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.

Genesis 28.11: 11 He came to a certain place, and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. He took one of the stones of the place, and put it under his head, and lay down in that place to sleep.

Genesis 28.12: 12 He dreamed and saw a stairway set upon the earth, and its top reached to heaven. Behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.

Genesis 28.13: 13 Behold, Yahweh stood above it, and said, “I am Yahweh, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. I will give the land you lie on to you and to your offspring.

Genesis 28.14: 14 Your offspring will be as the dust of the earth, and you will spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south. In you and in your offspring, all the families of the earth will be blessed.

Genesis 28.15: 15 Behold, I am with you, and will keep you, wherever you go, and will bring you again into this land. For I will not leave you, until I have done that which I have spoken of to you.”

Genesis 28.16: 16 Jacob awakened out of his sleep, and he said, “Surely Yahweh is in this place, and I didn’t know it.”

Genesis 28.17: 17 He was afraid, and said, “How awesome this place is! This is none other than God’s house, and this is the gate of heaven.”

Genesis 28.18: 18 Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put under his head, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil on its top.

Genesis 28.19: 19 He called the name of that place Bethel, but the name of the city was Luz at the first.

Genesis 28.20: 20 Jacob vowed a vow, saying, “If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and clothing to put on,

Genesis 28.21: 21 so that I come again to my father’s house in peace, and Yahweh will be my God,

Genesis 28.22: 22 then this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, will be God’s house. Of all that you will give me I will surely give a tenth to you.”

Genesis 44.0:

Genesis 44.1: 44He commanded the steward of his house, saying, “Fill the men’s sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put each man’s money in his sack’s mouth.

Genesis 44.2: 2 Put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack’s mouth of the youngest, with his grain money.” He did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.

Genesis 44.3: 3 As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their donkeys.

Genesis 44.4: 4 When they had gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Joseph said to his steward, “Up, follow after the men. When you overtake them, ask them, ‘Why have you rewarded evil for good?

Genesis 44.5: 5 Isn’t this that from which my lord drinks, and by which he indeed divines? You have done evil in so doing.’”

Genesis 44.6: 6 He overtook them, and he spoke these words to them.

Genesis 44.7: 7 They said to him, “Why does my lord speak such words as these? Far be it from your servants that they should do such a thing!

Genesis 44.8: 8 Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks’ mouths, we brought again to you out of the land of Canaan. How then should we steal silver or gold out of your lord’s house?

Genesis 44.9: 9 With whomever of your servants it is found, let him die, and we also will be my lord’s slaves.”

Genesis 44.10: 10 He said, “Now also let it be according to your words. He with whom it is found will be my slave; and you will be blameless.”

Genesis 44.11: 11 Then they hurried, and each man took his sack down to the ground, and each man opened his sack.

Genesis 44.12: 12 He searched, beginning with the oldest, and ending at the youngest. The cup was found in Benjamin’s sack.

Genesis 44.13: 13 Then they tore their clothes, and each man loaded his donkey, and returned to the city.

Genesis 44.14: 14 Judah and his brothers came to Joseph’s house, and he was still there. They fell on the ground before him.

Genesis 44.15: 15 Joseph said to them, “What deed is this that you have done? Don’t you know that such a man as I can indeed do divination?”

Genesis 44.16: 16 Judah said, “What will we tell my lord? What will we speak? How will we clear ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants. Behold, we are my lord’s slaves, both we and he also in whose hand the cup is found.”

Genesis 44.17: 17 He said, “Far be it from me that I should do so. The man in whose hand the cup is found, he will be my slave; but as for you, go up in peace to your father.”

Genesis 44.18: 18 Then Judah came near to him, and said, “Oh, my lord, please let your servant speak a word in my lord’s ears, and don’t let your anger burn against your servant; for you are even as Pharaoh.

Genesis 44.19: 19 My lord asked his servants, saying, ‘Have you a father, or a brother?’

Genesis 44.20: 20 We said to my lord, ‘We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother; and his father loves him.’

Genesis 44.21: 21 You said to your servants, ‘Bring him down to me, that I may set my eyes on him.’

Genesis 44.22: 22 We said to my lord, ‘The boy can’t leave his father, for if he should leave his father, his father would die.’

Genesis 44.23: 23 You said to your servants, ‘Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will see my face no more.’

Genesis 44.24: 24 When we came up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.

Genesis 44.25: 25 Our father said, ‘Go again and buy us a little food.’

Genesis 44.26: 26 We said, ‘We can’t go down. If our youngest brother is with us, then we will go down: for we may not see the man’s face, unless our youngest brother is with us.’

Genesis 44.27: 27 Your servant, my father, said to us, ‘You know that my wife bore me two sons.

Genesis 44.28: 28 One went out from me, and I said, “Surely he is torn in pieces;” and I haven’t seen him since.

Genesis 44.29: 29 If you take this one also from me, and harm happens to him, you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol.’1

Genesis 44.30: 30 Now therefore when I come to your servant my father, and the boy is not with us; since his life is bound up in the boy’s life;

Genesis 44.31: 31 it will happen, when he sees that the boy is no more, that he will die. Your servants will bring down the gray hairs of your servant, our father, with sorrow to Sheol.2

Genesis 44.32: 32 For your servant became collateral for the boy to my father, saying, ‘If I don’t bring him to you, then I will bear the blame to my father forever.’

Genesis 44.33: 33 Now therefore, please let your servant stay instead of the boy, my lord’s slave; and let the boy go up with his brothers.

Genesis 44.34: 34 For how will I go up to my father, if the boy isn’t with me?—lest I see the evil that will come on my father.”

Exodus 17.0:

Exodus 17.1: 17All the congregation of the children of Israel traveled from the wilderness of Sin, starting according to Yahweh’s commandment, and encamped in Rephidim; but there was no water for the people to drink.

Exodus 17.2: 2 Therefore the people quarreled with Moses, and said, “Give us water to drink.”

Moses said to them, “Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test Yahweh?”

Exodus 17.3: 3 The people were thirsty for water there; so the people murmured against Moses, and said, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us, our children, and our livestock with thirst?”

Exodus 17.4: 4 Moses cried to Yahweh, saying, “What shall I do with these people? They are almost ready to stone me.”

Exodus 17.5: 5 Yahweh said to Moses, “Walk on before the people, and take the elders of Israel with you, and take the rod in your hand with which you struck the Nile, and go.

Exodus 17.6: 6 Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock in Horeb. You shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, that the people may drink.” Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.

Exodus 17.7: 7 He called the name of the place Massah,1 and Meribah,2 because the children of Israel quarreled, and because they tested Yahweh, saying, “Is Yahweh among us, or not?”

Exodus 17.8: 8 Then Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim.

Exodus 17.9: 9 Moses said to Joshua, “Choose men for us, and go out, fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with God’s rod in my hand.”

Exodus 17.10: 10 So Joshua did as Moses had told him, and fought with Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

Exodus 17.11: 11 When Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed. When he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.

Exodus 17.12: 12 But Moses’ hands were heavy; so they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side. His hands were steady until sunset.

Exodus 17.13: 13 Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

Exodus 17.14: 14 Yahweh said to Moses, “Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under the sky.”

Exodus 17.15: 15 Moses built an altar, and called its name “Yahweh our Banner”.3

Exodus 17.16: 16 He said, “Yah has sworn: ‘Yahweh will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.’”

Exodus 20.0:

Exodus 20.1: 20God1 spoke all these words, saying,

Exodus 20.2: 2 “I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

Exodus 20.3: 3 “You shall have no other gods before me.

Exodus 20.4: 4 “You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

Exodus 20.5: 5 you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me,

Exodus 20.6: 6 and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.

Exodus 20.7: 7 “You shall not misuse the name of Yahweh your God,2 for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who misuses his name.

Exodus 20.8: 8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

Exodus 20.9: 9 You shall labor six days, and do all your work,

Exodus 20.10: 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your God. You shall not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates;

Exodus 20.11: 11 for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore Yahweh blessed the Sabbath day, and made it holy.

Exodus 20.12: 12 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which Yahweh your God gives you.

Exodus 20.13: 13 “You shall not murder.

Exodus 20.14: 14 “You shall not commit adultery.

Exodus 20.15: 15 “You shall not steal.

Exodus 20.16: 16 “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.

Exodus 20.17: 17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”

Exodus 20.18: 18 All the people perceived the thunderings, the lightnings, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking. When the people saw it, they trembled, and stayed at a distance.

Exodus 20.19: 19 They said to Moses, “Speak with us yourself, and we will listen; but don’t let God speak with us, lest we die.”

Exodus 20.20: 20 Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid, for God has come to test you, and that his fear may be before you, that you won’t sin.”

Exodus 20.21: 21 The people stayed at a distance, and Moses came near to the thick darkness where God was.

Exodus 20.22: 22 Yahweh said to Moses, “This is what you shall tell the children of Israel: ‘You yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.

Exodus 20.23: 23 You shall most certainly not make gods of silver or gods of gold for yourselves to be alongside me.

Exodus 20.24: 24 You shall make an altar of earth for me, and shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your cattle. In every place where I record my name I will come to you and I will bless you.

Exodus 20.25: 25 If you make me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of cut stones; for if you lift up your tool on it, you have polluted it.

Exodus 20.26: 26 You shall not go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed to it.’

Joshua 15.0:

Joshua 15.1: 15The lot for the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families was to the border of Edom, even to the wilderness of Zin southward, at the uttermost part of the south.

Joshua 15.2: 2 Their south border was from the uttermost part of the Salt Sea, from the bay that looks southward;

Joshua 15.3: 3 and it went out southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and went up by the south of Kadesh Barnea, and passed along by Hezron, went up to Addar, and turned toward Karka;

Joshua 15.4: 4 and it passed along to Azmon, went out at the brook of Egypt; and the border ended at the sea. This shall be your south border.

Joshua 15.5: 5 The east border was the Salt Sea, even to the end of the Jordan. The border of the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the end of the Jordan.

Joshua 15.6: 6 The border went up to Beth Hoglah, and passed along by the north of Beth Arabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.

Joshua 15.7: 7 The border went up to Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that faces the ascent of Adummim, which is on the south side of the river. The border passed along to the waters of En Shemesh, and ended at En Rogel.

Joshua 15.8: 8 The border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom to the side of the Jebusite (also called Jerusalem) southward; and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lies before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the farthest part of the valley of Rephaim northward.

Joshua 15.9: 9 The border extended from the top of the mountain to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of Mount Ephron; and the border extended to Baalah (also called Kiriath Jearim);

Joshua 15.10: 10 and the border turned about from Baalah westward to Mount Seir, and passed along to the side of Mount Jearim (also called Chesalon) on the north, and went down to Beth Shemesh, and passed along by Timnah;

Joshua 15.11: 11 and the border went out to the side of Ekron northward; and the border extended to Shikkeron, and passed along to Mount Baalah, and went out at Jabneel; and the goings out of the border were at the sea.

Joshua 15.12: 12 The west border was to the shore of the great sea. This is the border of the children of Judah according to their families.

Joshua 15.13: 13 He gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh a portion among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of Yahweh to Joshua, even Kiriath Arba, named after the father of Anak (also called Hebron).

Joshua 15.14: 14 Caleb drove out the three sons of Anak: Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.

Joshua 15.15: 15 He went up against the inhabitants of Debir: now the name of Debir before was Kiriath Sepher.

Joshua 15.16: 16 Caleb said, “He who strikes Kiriath Sepher, and takes it, to him I will give Achsah my daughter as wife.”

Joshua 15.17: 17 Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife.

Joshua 15.18: 18 When she came, she had him ask her father for a field. She got off her donkey, and Caleb said, “What do you want?”

Joshua 15.19: 19 She said, “Give me a blessing. Because you have set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water.”

So he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.

Joshua 15.20: 20 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families.

Daniel 3.1: 3Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was sixty cubits,1 and its width six cubits. He set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.

Daniel 3.2: 2 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the local governors, the deputies, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counselors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.

Daniel 3.3: 3 Then the local governors, the deputies, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counselors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.

Daniel 3.4: 4 Then the herald cried aloud, “To you it is commanded, peoples, nations, and languages,

Daniel 3.5: 5 that whenever you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music, you fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has set up.

Daniel 3.6: 6 Whoever doesn’t fall down and worship shall be cast into the middle of a burning fiery furnace the same hour.”

Daniel 3.7: 7 Therefore at that time, when all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music, all the peoples, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshiped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.

Daniel 3.8: 8 Therefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and brought accusation against the Jews.

Daniel 3.9: 9 They answered Nebuchadnezzar the king, “O king, live for ever!

Daniel 3.10: 10 You, O king, have made a decree, that every man that hears the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image;

Daniel 3.11: 11 and whoever doesn’t fall down and worship shall be cast into the middle of a burning fiery furnace.

Daniel 3.12: 12 There are certain Jews whom you have appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. These men, O king, have not respected you. They don’t serve your gods, and don’t worship the golden image which you have set up.”

Daniel 3.13: 13 Then Nebuchadnezzar in rage and fury commanded that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego be brought. Then these men were brought before the king.

Daniel 3.14: 14 Nebuchadnezzar answered them, “Is it on purpose, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you don’t serve my god, nor worship the golden image which I have set up?

Daniel 3.15: 15 Now if you are ready whenever you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music to fall down and worship the image which I have made, good; but if you don’t worship, you shall be cast the same hour into the middle of a burning fiery furnace. Who is that god that will deliver you out of my hands?”

Daniel 3.16: 16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered the king, “Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.

Daniel 3.17: 17 If it happens, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace; and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king.

Daniel 3.18: 18 But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image which you have set up.”

Daniel 3.19: 19 Then Nebuchadnezzar was full of fury, and the form of his appearance was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He spoke, and commanded that they should heat the furnace seven times more than it was usually heated.

Daniel 3.20: 20 He commanded certain mighty men who were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.

Daniel 3.21: 21 Then these men were bound in their pants, their tunics, and their mantles, and their other clothes, and were cast into the middle of the burning fiery furnace.

Daniel 3.22: 22 Therefore because the king’s commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceedingly hot, the flame of the fire killed those men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.

Daniel 3.23: 23 These three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the middle of the burning fiery furnace.

Daniel 3.24: 24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste. He spoke and said to his counselors, “Didn’t we cast three men bound into the middle of the fire?”

They answered the king, “True, O king.”

Daniel 3.25: 25 He answered, “Look, I see four men loose, walking in the middle of the fire, and they are unharmed. The appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods.”

Daniel 3.26: 26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace. He spoke and said, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, you servants of the Most High God, come out, and come here!”

Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out of the middle of the fire.

Daniel 3.27: 27 The local governors, the deputies, and the governors, and the king’s counselors, being gathered together, saw these men, that the fire had no power on their bodies. The hair of their head wasn’t singed. Their pants weren’t changed, the smell of fire wasn’t even on them.

Daniel 3.28: 28 Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent his angel, and delivered his servants who trusted in him, and have changed the king’s word, and have yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.

Daniel 3.29: 29 Therefore I make a decree, that every people, nation, and language, which speak anything evil against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill; because there is no other god who is able to deliver like this.”

Daniel 3.30: 30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.

Daniel 6.0:

Daniel 6.1: 6It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom one hundred twenty local governors, who should be throughout the whole kingdom;

Daniel 6.2: 2 and over them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one; that these local governors might give account to them, and that the king should suffer no loss.

Daniel 6.3: 3 Then this Daniel was distinguished above the presidents and the local governors, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.

Daniel 6.4: 4 Then the presidents and the local governors sought to find occasion against Daniel as touching the kingdom; but they could find no occasion or fault, because he was faithful. There wasn’t any error or fault found in him.

Daniel 6.5: 5 Then these men said, “We won’t find any occasion against this Daniel, unless we find it against him concerning the law of his God.”

Daniel 6.6: 6 Then these presidents and local governors assembled together to the king, and said this to him, “King Darius, live forever!

Daniel 6.7: 7 All the presidents of the kingdom, the deputies and the local governors, the counselors and the governors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a strong decree, that whoever asks a petition of any god or man for thirty days, except of you, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.

Daniel 6.8: 8 Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it not be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which doesn’t alter.”

Daniel 6.9: 9 Therefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.

Daniel 6.10: 10 When Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house (now his windows were open in his room toward Jerusalem) and he kneeled on his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did before.

Daniel 6.11: 11 Then these men assembled together, and found Daniel making petition and supplication before his God.

Daniel 6.12: 12 Then they came near, and spoke before the king concerning the king’s decree: “Haven’t you signed a decree that every man who makes a petition to any god or man within thirty days, except to you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions?”

The king answered, “This thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which doesn’t alter.”

Daniel 6.13: 13 Then they answered and said before the king, “That Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, doesn’t respect you, O king, nor the decree that you have signed, but makes his petition three times a day.”

Daniel 6.14: 14 Then the king, when he heard these words, was very displeased, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him; and he labored until the going down of the sun to rescue him.

Daniel 6.15: 15 Then these men assembled together to the king, and said to the king, “Know, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians, that no decree nor statute which the king establishes may be changed.”

Daniel 6.16: 16 Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. The king spoke and said to Daniel, “Your God whom you serve continually, he will deliver you.”

Daniel 6.17: 17 A stone was brought, and laid on the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that nothing might be changed concerning Daniel.

Daniel 6.18: 18 Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting. No musical instruments were brought before him; and his sleep fled from him.

Daniel 6.19: 19 Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste to the den of lions.

Daniel 6.20: 20 When he came near to the den to Daniel, he cried with a troubled voice. The king spoke and said to Daniel, “Daniel, servant of the living God, is your God, whom you serve continually, able to deliver you from the lions?”

Daniel 6.21: 21 Then Daniel said to the king, “O king, live forever!

Daniel 6.22: 22 My God has sent his angel, and has shut the lions’ mouths, and they have not hurt me; because as before him innocence was found in me; and also before you, O king, I have done no harm.”

Daniel 6.23: 23 Then the king was exceedingly glad, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no kind of harm was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.

Daniel 6.24: 24 The king commanded, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions mauled them, and broke all their bones in pieces, before they came to the bottom of the den.

Daniel 6.25: 25 Then king Darius wrote to all the peoples, nations, and languages, who dwell in all the earth:

“Peace be multiplied to you.

Daniel 6.26: 26 “I make a decree that in all the dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel;

“for he is the living God,

and steadfast forever.

His kingdom is that which will not be destroyed.

His dominion will be even to the end.

Daniel 6.27: 27 He delivers and rescues.

He works signs and wonders in heaven and in earth,

who has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.”

Daniel 6.28: 28 So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

Nahum 0.0:

Matthew 13.0:

Matthew 13.1: 13On that day Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the seaside.

Matthew 13.2: 2 Great multitudes gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat, and sat, and all the multitude stood on the beach.

Matthew 13.3: 3 He spoke to them many things in parables, saying, “Behold, a farmer went out to sow.

Matthew 13.4: 4 As he sowed, some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and devoured them.

Matthew 13.5: 5 Others fell on rocky ground, where they didn’t have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of earth.

Matthew 13.6: 6 When the sun had risen, they were scorched. Because they had no root, they withered away.

Matthew 13.7: 7 Others fell among thorns. The thorns grew up and choked them.

Matthew 13.8: 8 Others fell on good soil, and yielded fruit: some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.

Matthew 13.9: 9 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

Matthew 13.10: 10 The disciples came, and said to him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?”

Matthew 13.11: 11 He answered them, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, but it is not given to them.

Matthew 13.12: 12 For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance, but whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he has.

Matthew 13.13: 13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they don’t see, and hearing, they don’t hear, neither do they understand.

Matthew 13.14: 14 In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says,

‘By hearing you will hear,

and will in no way understand;

Seeing you will see,

and will in no way perceive:

Matthew 13.15: 15 for this people’s heart has grown callous,

their ears are dull of hearing,

they have closed their eyes;

or else perhaps they might perceive with their eyes,

hear with their ears,

understand with their heart,

and would turn again;

and I would heal them.’a

Matthew 13.16: 16 “But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.

Matthew 13.17: 17 For most certainly I tell you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which you see, and didn’t see them; and to hear the things which you hear, and didn’t hear them.

Matthew 13.18: 18 “Hear, then, the parable of the farmer.

Matthew 13.19: 19 When anyone hears the word of the Kingdom, and doesn’t understand it, the evil one comes, and snatches away that which has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown by the roadside.

Matthew 13.20: 20 What was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word, and immediately with joy receives it;

Matthew 13.21: 21 yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.

Matthew 13.22: 22 What was sown among the thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of this age and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

Matthew 13.23: 23 What was sown on the good ground, this is he who hears the word, and understands it, who most certainly bears fruit, and produces, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.”

Matthew 13.24: 24 He set another parable before them, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field,

Matthew 13.25: 25 but while people slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel weeds1 also among the wheat, and went away.

Matthew 13.26: 26 But when the blade sprang up and produced fruit, then the darnel weeds appeared also.

Matthew 13.27: 27 The servants of the householder came and said to him, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where did these darnel weeds come from?’

Matthew 13.28: 28 “He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’

“The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and gather them up?’

Matthew 13.29: 29 “But he said, ‘No, lest perhaps while you gather up the darnel weeds, you root up the wheat with them.

Matthew 13.30: 30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, “First, gather up the darnel weeds, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”

Matthew 13.31: 31 He set another parable before them, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field;

Matthew 13.32: 32 which indeed is smaller than all seeds. But when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in its branches.”

Matthew 13.33: 33 He spoke another parable to them. “The Kingdom of Heaven is like yeast, which a woman took, and hid in three measures2 of meal, until it was all leavened.”

Matthew 13.34: 34 Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the multitudes; and without a parable, he didn’t speak to them,

Matthew 13.35: 35 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,

“I will open my mouth in parables;

I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.”b

Matthew 13.36: 36 Then Jesus sent the multitudes away, and went into the house. His disciples came to him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the darnel weeds of the field.”

Matthew 13.37: 37 He answered them, “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,

Matthew 13.38: 38 the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the children of the Kingdom; and the darnel weeds are the children of the evil one.

Matthew 13.39: 39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels.

Matthew 13.40: 40 As therefore the darnel weeds are gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the end of this age.

Matthew 13.41: 41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and those who do iniquity,

Matthew 13.42: 42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

Matthew 13.43: 43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

Matthew 13.44: 44 “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in the field, which a man found, and hid. In his joy, he goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field.

Matthew 13.45: 45 “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls,

Matthew 13.46: 46 who having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

Matthew 13.47: 47 “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a dragnet, that was cast into the sea, and gathered some fish of every kind,

Matthew 13.48: 48 which, when it was filled, they drew up on the beach. They sat down, and gathered the good into containers, but the bad they threw away.

Matthew 13.49: 49 So will it be in the end of the world.3 The angels will come and separate the wicked from among the righteous,

Matthew 13.50: 50 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.”

Matthew 13.51: 51 Jesus said to them, “Have you understood all these things?”

They answered him, “Yes, Lord.”

Matthew 13.52: 52 He said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has been made a disciple in the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a householder, who brings out of his treasure new and old things.”

Matthew 13.53: 53 When Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.

Matthew 13.54: 54 Coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, “Where did this man get this wisdom, and these mighty works?

Matthew 13.55: 55 Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother called Mary, and his brothers, James, Joses, Simon, and Judas?4

Matthew 13.56: 56 Aren’t all of his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all of these things?”

Matthew 13.57: 57 They were offended by him.

But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and in his own house.”

Matthew 13.58: 58 He didn’t do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

Matthew 28.0:

Matthew 28.1: 28Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.

Matthew 28.2: 2 Behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from the sky, and came and rolled away the stone from the door, and sat on it.

Matthew 28.3: 3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.

Matthew 28.4: 4 For fear of him, the guards shook, and became like dead men.

Matthew 28.5: 5 The angel answered the women, “Don’t be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus, who has been crucified.

Matthew 28.6: 6 He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where the Lord was lying.

Matthew 28.7: 7 Go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has risen from the dead, and behold, he goes before you into Galilee; there you will see him.’ Behold, I have told you.”

Matthew 28.8: 8 They departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring his disciples word.

Matthew 28.9: 9 As they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!”

They came and took hold of his feet, and worshiped him.

Matthew 28.10: 10 Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Go tell my brothers 1 that they should go into Galilee, and there they will see me.”

Matthew 28.11: 11 Now while they were going, behold, some of the guards came into the city, and told the chief priests all the things that had happened.

Matthew 28.12: 12 When they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave a large amount of silver to the soldiers,

Matthew 28.13: 13 saying, “Say that his disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.

Matthew 28.14: 14 If this comes to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him and make you free of worry.”

Matthew 28.15: 15 So they took the money and did as they were told. This saying was spread abroad among the Jews, and continues until today.

Matthew 28.16: 16 But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had sent them.

Matthew 28.17: 17 When they saw him, they bowed down to him, but some doubted.

Matthew 28.18: 18 Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.

Matthew 28.19: 19 Go2 and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

Matthew 28.20: 20 teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

2 Timothy 1.0:

2 Timothy 1.1: 1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus,

2 Timothy 1.2: 2 to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

2 Timothy 1.3: 3 I thank God, whom I serve as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience. How unceasing is my memory of you in my petitions, night and day

2 Timothy 1.4: 4 longing to see you, remembering your tears, that I may be filled with joy;

2 Timothy 1.5: 5 having been reminded of the sincere faith that is in you, which lived first in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and, I am persuaded, in you also.

2 Timothy 1.6: 6 For this cause, I remind you that you should stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

2 Timothy 1.7: 7 For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.

2 Timothy 1.8: 8 Therefore don’t be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship for the Good News according to the power of God,

2 Timothy 1.9: 9 who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal,

2 Timothy 1.10: 10 but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the Good News.

2 Timothy 1.11: 11 For this I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.

2 Timothy 1.12: 12 For this cause I also suffer these things.

Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed to him against that day.

2 Timothy 1.13: 13 Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

2 Timothy 1.14: 14 That good thing which was committed to you, guard through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.

2 Timothy 1.15: 15 This you know, that all who are in Asia turned away from me, of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.

2 Timothy 1.16: 16 May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,

2 Timothy 1.17: 17 but when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently and found me

2 Timothy 1.18: 18 (the Lord grant to him to find the Lord’s mercy in that day); and in how many things he served at Ephesus, you know very well.

1 Peter 2.0:

1 Peter 2.1: 2Putting away therefore all wickedness, all deceit, hypocrisies, envies, and all evil speaking,

1 Peter 2.2: 2 as newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the Word, that with it you may grow,

1 Peter 2.3: 3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious:

1 Peter 2.4: 4 coming to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, precious.

1 Peter 2.5: 5 You also, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

1 Peter 2.6: 6 Because it is contained in Scripture,

“Behold,1 I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen and precious:

He who believes in him will not be disappointed.”a

1 Peter 2.7: 7 For you who believe therefore is the honor, but for those who are disobedient,

“The stone which the builders rejected

has become the chief cornerstone,”b

1 Peter 2.8: 8 and,

“a stumbling stone and a rock of offense.”c

For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.

1 Peter 2.9: 9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

1 Peter 2.10: 10 In the past, you were not a people, but now are God’s people, who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

1 Peter 2.11: 11 Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

1 Peter 2.12: 12 having good behavior among the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they see, glorify God in the day of visitation.

1 Peter 2.13: 13 Therefore subject yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme;

1 Peter 2.14: 14 or to governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evildoers and for praise to those who do well.

1 Peter 2.15: 15 For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
