Since these things have happened to me, if I had eaten the sin offering
today, would it have been acceptable in the sight of the LORD?”

leprosy have covered all his flesh, he shall
pronounce him clean that hath the plague: it is all turned white: he is clean.

pronounce the
infected person clean.
Since it has all turned white, he is clean.

woof, in woollen or in linen, or any thing of skin, wherein the plague is: for it is a
fretting leprosy; it shall be burnt in the fire.

buy of thy neighbour, and according unto the number of years of the fruits he shall sell unto thee:

buy from your
neighbor according to the number of years
since the last
Jubilee; he is to sell to you according to the number of harvest years remaining.

since its sale, repay the balance to the man to whom he sold it, and return to his property.

beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast
forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.

donkey said to
Balaam, “Am I not the
donkey you have
ridden all your life until
today? Have I ever treated you this way before?” “No,” he replied.

heed unto
yourselves; for ye saw no manner of
similitude on the day that the LORD spake unto you in

Horeb, be careful

rejoice before the LORD your God—you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the
Levite within your gates,
since he has no portion or inheritance among you.

Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not
forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.
And do not neglect the
Levite within your gates,
since he has no portion or inheritance among you.
Lest the
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
hated him not in time past.
Otherwise, the
avenger of blood might 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.
So shalt thou put away the guilt of innocent blood from among you, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the LORD.

whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money, thou shalt not make
merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her.

Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:
All these curses will come upon you. They will pursue you and overtake you until you are destroyed, since you did not obey the LORD your God and keep the commandments and statutes He gave you.

swear unto me by the LORD,
since I have shewed you kindness, that ye will also
shew kindness unto my father’s house, and give me a true
token:

swear to me by the LORD that you will indeed show kindness to my family, because I showed kindness to you. Give me a sure sign

sware that he would not
shew them the land, which the LORD
sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
For the Israelites had
wandered in the wilderness forty years, until all the nation’s men of war who had come out of Egypt had died,
since they did not obey the LORD. So the LORD
vowed never to let them see the land He had
sworn to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

smite Ai; and make not all the people to labour thither; for they are but few.

Ai.
Since the people of
Ai are so few, you need not wear out all our people there.”
And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD
hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.

since the LORD spake this word unto Moses, while the children of Israel
wandered in the wilderness: and now, lo, I am this day
fourscore and five years old.
Now behold, as the LORD promised, He has kept me alive these forty-five years
since He spoke this word to Moses, while Israel
wandered in the wilderness. So here I am
today, eighty-five years old,

Caleb gave her both the upper and lower springs.

sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD.

sincerely, in that ye have made

Now if you have acted faithfully and
honestly in making
Abimelech king, if you have done well by Jerubbaal and his family, and if you have done to him as he deserves—
if you have acted faithfully and
honestly toward Jerubbaal and his house this day, then may you
rejoice in
Abimelech, and he in you.
Then they went along through the wilderness, and compassed the land of
Edom, and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and pitched on the other side of
Arnon, but came not within the border of Moab: for
Arnon was the border of Moab.
Then Israel traveled through the wilderness and bypassed the lands of
Edom and Moab. They came to the east side of the land of Moab and camped on the other side of the
Arnon. But they did not enter the territory of Moab,
since the
Arnon was its border.

sworn by the LORD that we will not give them of our daughters to wives?

since we have
sworn by the LORD not to give them our daughters in marriage?”
Then the elders of the congregation said, How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing the women are destroyed out of Benjamin?
Then the elders of the congregation said, “What should we do about wives for those who remain, since the women of Benjamin have been destroyed?”
And it shall be, when their fathers or their brethren come unto us to
complain, that we will say unto them, Be favourable unto them for our sakes: because we reserved not to each man his wife in the war: for ye did not give unto them at this time, that ye should be guilty.
When their fathers or brothers come to us to
complain, we will tell them, ‘Do us a favor by helping them,
since we did not get wives for each of them in the war.
Since you did not actually give them your daughters, you have no guilt.’”
And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been shewed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother in law
since the death of thine husband: and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy
nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not
heretofore.
Boaz replied, “I have been made fully aware of all you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband, how you left your father and mother and the land of your birth, and how you came to a people you did not know before.
And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the city of my people
doth know that thou art a
virtuous woman.
And now do not be afraid, my daughter. I will do for you whatever you request, since all my fellow townspeople know that you are a woman of noble character.
For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked of him:
I prayed for this boy, and since the LORD has granted me what I asked of Him,
If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the LORD, who shall intreat for him? Notwithstanding they
hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the LORD would
slay them.
If a man sins against another man, God can
intercede for him; but if a man sins against the LORD, who can
intercede for him?” But they would not
listen to their father,
since the LORD intended to put them to death.
