reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him unto the year of jubile: and the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of years, according to the time of an
hired servant shall it be with him.

purchaser will then count the time from the year he sold himself up to the Year of
Jubilee. The price of his sale will be determined by the number of years, based on the daily wages of a
hired hand.
If there be yet many years behind, according unto them he shall give again the price of his
redemption out of the money that he was bought for.
If many years remain, he must pay for his
redemption in proportion to his
purchase price.

pursueth.

purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the congregation, because he hath
defiled the sanctuary of the LORD: the water of separation hath not been
sprinkled upon him; he is unclean.

purify himself, he will be cut off from the assembly, because he has
defiled the sanctuary of the LORD. The water of
purification has not been
sprinkled on him; he is unclean.

This is a permanent statute for the people: The one who sprinkles the water of
purification must wash his clothes, and
whoever touches the water of
purification will be unclean until evening.

avenger of the blood
pursue the
slayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and
slay him; whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he

pursue the
manslayer in a
rage, overtake him if the distance is great, and strike him dead though he did not deserve to die, since he did not intend any
harm.

pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: but the soul of my lord shall be bound in the
bundle of life with the LORD thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he
sling out, as out of the middle of a
sling.
And should someone
pursue you and seek your life, then the life of my lord will be bound securely by the LORD your God in the
bundle of the living. But He shall
fling away the lives of your enemies like stones from a
sling.

pursue after this
troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him,

pursue these raiders? Will I overtake them?” “
Pursue them,” the LORD replied, “for you will surely overtake them and
rescue the
captives.”

Abishai pursued after
Abner: and the sun went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah, that lieth before Giah by the way of the wilderness of
Gibeon.
But
Joab and
Abishai pursued Abner. By
sunset, they had gone as far as the hill of Ammah opposite Giah on the way to the wilderness of
Gibeon.
Then
Abner called to
Joab, and said, Shall the sword
devour for ever? knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? how long shall it be then,
ere thou
bid the people return from following their brethren?
Then
Abner called out to
Joab: “Must the sword
devour forever? Do you not
realize that this will only end in bitterness? How long before you tell the troops to stop
pursuing their brothers?”
And
Joab said, As God liveth, unless thou hadst spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone up every one from following his brother.
“As surely as God lives,”
Joab replied, “if you had not spoken up, the troops would have continued
pursuing their brothers until morning.”
So
Joab blew a
trumpet, and all the people stood still, and
pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more.
So
Joab blew the ram’s horn, and all the troops stopped; they no longer
pursued Israel or continued to fight.
And
Joab returned from following
Abner: and when he had gathered all the people together, there lacked of David’s servants
nineteen men and
Asahel.

Joab returned from
pursuing Abner, he gathered all the troops. In addition to
Asahel,
nineteen of David’s servants were missing,

Joab came from
pursuing a
troop, and brought in a great
spoil with them: but

Hebron; for he had sent him away, and he was gone in peace.
Just then David’s soldiers and
Joab returned from a
raid, bringing with them a great
plunder. But
Abner was not with David in
Hebron because David had sent him on his way in peace.
And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in unto him, and he lay with her; for she was
purified from her uncleanness: and she returned unto her house.
Then David sent messengers to get her, and when she came to him, he
slept with her. (Now she had just
purified herself from her uncleanness.) Then she returned home.
Moreover
Ahithophel said unto
Absalom, Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and
pursue after David this night:
And
Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of
Ahithophel. For the LORD had appointed to defeat the good counsel of
Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might bring evil upon
Absalom.
And
Joab blew the
trumpet, and the people returned from
pursuing after Israel: for
Joab held back the people.
Then
Joab blew the ram’s horn, and the troops broke off their
pursuit of Israel because
Joab had restrained them.
And David said to
Abishai, Now shall
Sheba the son of Bichri do us more
harm than did
Absalom: take thou thy lord’s servants, and
pursue after him, lest he get him
fenced cities, and escape us.
And David said to
Abishai, “Now
Sheba the son of Bichri will do us more
harm than
Absalom. Take your lord’s servants and
pursue him, or he will find fortified cities and
elude us.”
And there went out after him
Joab’s men, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men: and they went out of Jerusalem, to
pursue after
Sheba the son of Bichri.
So
Joab’s men, along with the Cherethites, the Pelethites, and all the mighty men, marched out of Jerusalem in
pursuit of
Sheba son of Bichri.
But
Amasa took no
heed to the sword that was in
Joab’s hand: so he
smote him
therewith in the fifth rib, and shed out his
bowels to the ground, and struck him not again; and he died. So
Joab and
Abishai his brother
pursued after
Sheba the son of Bichri.
When he was removed out of the
highway, all the people went on after
Joab, to
pursue after
Sheba the son of Bichri.
As soon as
Amasa’s body was removed from the road, all the men went on with
Joab to
pursue Sheba son of Bichri.
