⁴ As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And he said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of the LORD: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ For I will cast out the nations before thee, and enlarge thy borders: neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou shalt go up to appear before the LORD thy God thrice in the year.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³³ And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁵ But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I am the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the LORD our God is in all things that we call upon him for?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ For the LORD thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ When the LORD thy God hath cut off the nations, whose land the LORD thy God giveth thee, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their cities, and in their houses;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And thou shalt speak and say before the LORD thy God, A Syrian ready to perish was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ The LORD thy God, he will go over before thee, and he will destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt possess them: and Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as the LORD hath said.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the LORD shall lead you.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁴ Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of another nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² And the LORD thy God will put out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ Then will the LORD drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ When the LORD thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ When thou art come unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that are about me;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ And to make thee high above all nations which he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honour; and that thou mayest be an holy people unto the LORD thy God, as he hath spoken.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁶ The LORD shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁹ The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶⁵ And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴³ Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over Jordan, that the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And ye have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto all these nations because of you; for the LORD your God is he that hath fought for you.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ For the LORD hath driven out from before you great nations and strong: but as for you, no man hath been able to stand before you unto this day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean over Jordan.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ Know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no more drive out any of these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to prove Israel by them, even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host was Sisera, which dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and he said, Because that this people hath transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ And what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee from Egypt, from the nations and their gods?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Which also king David did dedicate unto the LORD, with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he subdued;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵⁰ Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² Of the nations concerning which the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ As the LORD thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when they said, He is not there; he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found thee not.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yea, and made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And walked in the statutes of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, after the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ But they hearkened not: and Manasseh seduced them to do more evil than did the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto the LORD, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the heathen whom the LORD carried away before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that were round about them, concerning whom the LORD had charged them, that they should not do like them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ Wherefore they spake to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations which thou hast removed, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the God of the land: therefore he hath sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³³ They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴¹ So these nations feared the LORD, and served their graven images, both their children, and their children's children: as did their fathers, so do they unto this day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have destroyed the nations and their lands,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The LORD reigneth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁵ And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, and glory in thy praise.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ And what one nation in the earth is like thy people Israel, whom God went to redeem to be his own people, to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people, whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Them also king David dedicated unto the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he brought from all these nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city: for God did vex them with all adversity.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And said, O LORD God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burnt his children in the fire, after the abominations of the heathen whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² But did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, like unto the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, and to do worse than the heathen, whom the LORD had destroyed before the children of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ Who was there among all the gods of those nations that my fathers utterly destroyed, that could deliver his people out of mine hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of mine hand?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ Now therefore let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you on this manner, neither yet believe him: for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of mine hand, and out of the hand of my fathers: how much less shall your God deliver you out of mine hand?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ He wrote also letters to rail on the LORD God of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, As the gods of the nations of other lands have not delivered their people out of mine hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliver his people out of mine hand.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ And many brought gifts unto the LORD to Jerusalem, and presents to Hezekiah king of Judah: so that he was magnified in the sight of all nations from thenceforth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people, transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen; and polluted the house of the LORD which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.
