⁸ And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Beth-el, and pitched his tent, having Beth-el on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And let us arise, and go up to Beth-el; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty's sake.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁰ And he said unto him, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty's sake.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³² And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶³ And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels were coming.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ For that is his covering only, it is his raiment for his skin: wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will hear; for I am gracious.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And Moses besought besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³² Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.

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

¹⁷ And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that he shall confess that he hath sinned in that thing:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁰ If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the LORD, and that person be guilty;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he shall recompense his trespass with the principal thereof, and add unto it the fifth part thereof, and give it unto him against whom he hath trespassed.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I wot that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came unto Balaam, and spake unto him the words of Balak.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak unto me: and the princes of Moab abode with Balaam.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men are these with thee?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that thou LORD art among this people, that thou LORD art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.

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

¹⁶ Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ The LORD is longsuffering, longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the face of the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three times.

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

²⁴ O Lord GOD, thou hast begun to shew thy servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand: for what God is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy might?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that is beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁰ When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ For the LORD thy God is a merciful God; he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ Thus I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first; because the LORD had said he would destroy you.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ I prayed therefore unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ Lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out arm.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ And it shall come to pass, when the LORD thy God hath brought thee in unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁰ Are they not on the other side Jordan, by the way where the sun goeth down, in the land of the Canaanites, which dwell in the champaign over against Gilgal, beside the plains of Moreh?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And Moses charged the people the same day, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² These shall stand upon mount Gerizim to bless the people, when ye are come over Jordan; Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And these shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse; Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Bless, LORD, his substance, and accept the work of his hands: smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not again.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ O Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies!

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of it, and shall environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do unto thy great name?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ 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?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³³ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁴ And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the book of the law.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ And the men took of their victuals, and asked not counsel at the mouth of the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the LORD delivered Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushan-rishathaim.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁶ And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁷ Behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the floor; and if the dew be on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the earth beside, then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁸ And it was so: for he rose up early on the morrow, and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁹ And Gideon said unto God, Let not thine anger be hot against me, and I will speak but this once: let me prove, I pray thee, but this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁰ And God did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, saying, We have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our God, and also served Baalim.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ And the children of Israel said unto the LORD, We have sinned: do thou unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto thee; deliver us only, we pray thee, this day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ And Samson called unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ As soon as ye be come into the city, ye shall straightway find him, before he go up to the high place to eat: for the people will not eat until he come, because he doth bless the sacrifice; and afterwards they eat that be bidden. Now therefore get you up; for about this time ye shall find him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And they cried unto the LORD, and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken the LORD, and have served Baalim and Ashtaroth: but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee.
