servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs:

teem with frogs, and they will come into your palace and up to your
bedroom and

The frogs will come up on you and your people and all your officials.’”
And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I intreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses, that they may remain in the river only?

whereon they are.

miraculous signs of Mine among them,

hired from year to year, but a foreign owner must not rule over him harshly in your sight.

riddles; he sees the form of the LORD. Why then were you unafraid to speak against My
servant Moses?”

Then thou shalt take an aul, and thrust it through his ear unto the door, and he shall be thy
servant for ever. And also unto thy
maidservant thou shalt do likewise.
then take an
awl and
pierce it through his ear into the door, and he will become your
servant for life. And treat your
maidservant the same way.

hired servant to thee, in serving thee six years: and the LORD thy God shall
bless thee in all that thou doest.

hardship to set your
servant free, because his six years of service were worth twice the wages of a
hired hand. And the LORD your God will
bless you in all you do.

Do not return a slave to his master if he has taken refuge with you.
Thou shalt not
oppress an
hired servant that is poor and
needy, whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that are in thy land within thy gates:
Do not
oppress a
hired hand who is poor and
needy, whether he is a brother or a foreigner residing in one of your towns.

For the LORD shall judge his people, and
repent himself for his
servants, when he
seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left.

vindicate His people and have
compassion on His
servants when He sees that their strength is gone and no one remains, slave or free.

adversaries and repay those who
hate Him; He will
cleanse His land and His people.

courageous. Be careful to observe all the law that My
servant Moses commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right or to the left, so that you may

Until the LORD have given your brethren rest, as he hath given you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD’S
servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the
sunrising.
until the LORD gives them rest as He has done for you, and your brothers also possess the land that the LORD your God is giving them. Then you may return to the land of your inheritance and take possession of that which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the east side of the Jordan.”
And he said,
Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his
servant?

And all Israel, and their elders, and officers, and their judges, stood on this side the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, as well the stranger, as he that was born among them; half of them over against mount
Gerizim, and half of them over against mount
Ebal; as Moses the
servant of the LORD had commanded before, that they should
bless the people of Israel.
All Israel, foreigners and citizens alike, with their elders, officers, and judges, stood on both sides of the ark of the covenant of the LORD facing the
Levitical priests who carried it. Half of the people stood in front of Mount
Gerizim and half of them in front of Mount
Ebal, as Moses the
servant of the LORD had commanded earlier, to

And they said unto Joshua, We are thy servants. And Joshua said unto them, Who are ye? and from whence come ye?
“We are your servants,” they said to Joshua. Then Joshua asked them, “Who are you and where have you come from?”

Wherefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spake to us, saying, Take
victuals with you for the journey, and go to meet them, and say unto them, We are your
servants: therefore now make ye a league with us.
So the elders and inhabitants of our land told us, ‘Take provisions for your journey; go to meet them and say to them: We are your servants. Please make a treaty with us.’
And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy
servants, how that the LORD thy God commanded his
servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you, therefore we were
sore afraid of our lives because of you, and have done this thing.
The Gibeonites answered, “Your
servants were told clearly that the LORD your God had commanded His
servant Moses to give you all the land and
wipe out all its inhabitants before you. So we greatly feared for our lives because of you, and that is why we have done this.
And the men of
Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to
Gilgal, saying,

servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the
Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us.
Then the men of
Gibeon sent word to Joshua in the camp at
Gilgal: “Do not
abandon your
servants. Come quickly and save us! Help us, because all the kings of the
Amorites from the hill country have joined forces against us.”
And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, did Joshua take, and
smote them with the edge of the sword, and he utterly destroyed them, as Moses the
servant of the LORD commanded.
Joshua captured all these kings and their cities and put them to the sword. He devoted them to destruction, as Moses the LORD’s servant had commanded.
As the LORD commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that the LORD commanded Moses.

servant of the LORD and the children of Israel
smite: and Moses the
servant of the LORD gave it for a possession unto the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of
Manasseh.
Moses, the
servant of the LORD, and the Israelites had struck them down and given their land as an inheritance to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of
Manasseh.
With whom the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond Jordan eastward, even as Moses the servant of the LORD gave them;
The other half of
Manasseh, along with the Reubenites and Gadites, had received the inheritance Moses had given them beyond the Jordan to the east, just as Moses the
servant of the LORD had assigned to them:
Forty years old was I when Moses the
servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh-barnea to
espy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in mine heart.
I was forty years old when Moses the
servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh-barnea to
spy out the land, and I brought back to him an
honest report.
But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance: and
Gad, and
Reuben, and half the tribe of
Manasseh, have received their inheritance beyond Jordan on the east, which Moses the
servant of the LORD gave them.
The Levites, however, have no portion among you, because their inheritance is the priesthood of the LORD. And
Gad,
Reuben, and half the tribe of
Manasseh have already received the inheritance that Moses the
servant of the LORD gave them beyond the Jordan to the east.”
And said unto them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you:
and told them, “You have done all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and you have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you.
And now the LORD your God hath given rest unto your brethren, as he promised them: therefore now return ye, and get you unto your tents, and unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the other side Jordan.
And now that the LORD your God has given your brothers rest as He promised them, you may return to your homes in the land that Moses the servant of the LORD gave you across the Jordan.
But take
diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the
servant of the LORD charged you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to
cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.
But be very careful to observe the commandment and the law that Moses the servant of the LORD gave you: to love the LORD your God, to walk in all His ways, to keep His commandments, to hold fast to Him, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul.”

Then
Gideon took ten men of his
servants, and did as the LORD had said unto him: and so it was, because he feared his father’s household, and the men of the city, that he could not do it by day, that he did it by night.

Gideon took ten of his
servants and did as the LORD had told him. But because he was too afraid of his father’s household and the men of the city, he did it by night rather than in the

listen to what they are saying. Then your hands will be strengthened to attack the camp.” So he went with Purah his
servant to the outposts where armed men were guarding the camp.

lean against them.”

tarry all night: behold, the day groweth to an end,
lodge here, that thine heart may be
merry; and to
morrow get you early on your way, that thou mayest go home.

Spend the night here, that your heart may be
merry. Then you can get up early
tomorrow for your journey home.”
