ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁹ And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵⁰ Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵¹ Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master's son's wife, as the LORD hath spoken.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ This is the thing which the LORD doth command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Neither shall the inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep himself to his own inheritance.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father's brothers' sons:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And they were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ These are the commandments and the judgments, which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ So his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Then went Boaz up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And he said unto the kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out of the country of Moab, selleth a parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech's:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And I thought to advertise advertise thee, saying, Buy it before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem it: but if thou wilt not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know: for there is none to redeem it beside thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance: redeem thou my right to thyself; for I cannot redeem it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Now this was the manner in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for to confirm all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour: and this was a testimony in Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thee. So he drew off his shoe.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. The LORD make the woman that is come into thine house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous famous in Beth-lehem:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters: and their brethren the sons of Kish took them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Now when these things were done, the princes came to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands, doing according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² for their sons: so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the people of those lands: yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief in this trespass.

For they have taken of their daughters for themselves, and

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Now therefore give not your daughters unto their sons, neither take their daughters unto your sons, nor seek their peace or their wealth for ever: that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children for ever.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁰ And that we would not give our daughters unto the people of the land, nor take their daughters for our sons:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many nations was there no king like him, who was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless even him did outlandish women cause to sin.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this great evil, to transgress against our God in marrying strange wives?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, Let there be fair fair young virgins sought for the king:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the fair fair young virgins unto Shushan the palace, to the house of the women, unto the custody of Hege the king's chamberlain, keeper of the women; and let their things for purification be given them:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And let the maiden which pleaseth pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased pleased the king; and he did so.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ So it came to pass, when the king's commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was brought also unto the king's house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And the maiden pleased pleased him, and she obtained kindness of him; and he speedily gave her her things for purification, with such things as belonged to her, and seven maidens, which were meet to be given her, out of the king's house: and he preferred her and her maids unto the best place of the house of the women.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ Esther had not shewed her people nor her kindred: for Mordecai had charged her that she should not shew it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And Mordecai walked every day before the court of the women's house, to know how Esther did, and what should become of her.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Now when every maid's turn was come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that she had been twelve twelve months, according to the manner of the women, for so were the days of their purifications accomplished, to wit, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odours, and with other things for the purifying of the women;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ Then thus came every maiden unto the king; whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king's house.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ In the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king's chamberlain, which kept the concubines: she came in unto the king no more, except the king delighted in her, and that she were called by name.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶³ The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Moreover the LORD said unto me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a man's pen concerning Maher-shalal-hash-baz.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said the LORD to me, Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise the LORD of hosts: for the LORD is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, saith the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of the LORD which he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange god.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ He saith unto them, them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Go ye therefore into the highways, highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ They that were foolish took their their lamps, and took no oil with them:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁰ For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁸ For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁴ And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁵ But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: but the servants which drew the water knew; the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁸ So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁹ The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
