1
Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
20 I
2
Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
13 I
3
For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
6 I
4
Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.
2 I
5
Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6
Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
4 I
7
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
14 I
8
Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
9
Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
14 I
10
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
61 I
11
Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
12 I
12
Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
14 I
13
Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
2 I
14
Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
4 I
15
O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
16 I
16
For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.
17
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
23 I
18
Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
2 I
19
Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
2 I
Genesis 46
1
And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac.
12 I
2
And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.
10 I
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:
12 I
4
I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up again: and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes.
10 I
5
And Jacob rose up from Beersheba: and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
10 I
6
And they took their cattle, and their goods, which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed with him:
10 I
7
His sons, and his sons’ sons with him, his daughters, and his sons’ daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt.
10 I
8
And these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn.
10 I
9
And the sons of Reuben; Hanoch, and Phallu, and Hezron, and Carmi.
10 I
10
And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman.
10 I
11
And the sons of Levi; Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
10 I
12
And the sons of Judah; Er, and Onan, and Shelah, and Pharez, and Zarah: but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. And the sons of Pharez were Hezron and Hamul.
10 I
13
And the sons of Issachar; Tola, and Phuvah, and Job, and Shimron.
10 I
14
And the sons of Zebulun; Sered, and Elon, and Jahleel.
10 I
15
These be the sons of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob in Padanaram, with his daughter Dinah: all the souls of his sons and his daughters were thirty and three.
10 I
16
And the sons of Gad; Ziphion, and Haggi, Shuni, and Ezbon, Eri, and Arodi, and Areli.
10 I
17
And the sons of Asher; Jimnah, and Ishuah, and Isui, and Beriah, and Serah their sister: and the sons of Beriah; Heber, and Malchiel.
10 I
18
These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter, and these she bare unto Jacob, even sixteen souls.
10 I
19
The sons of Rachel Jacob’s wife; Joseph, and Benjamin.
10 I
20
And unto Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him.
10 I
21
And the sons of Benjamin were Belah, and Becher, and Ashbel, Gera, and Naaman, Ehi, and Rosh, Muppim, and Huppim, and Ard.
10 I
22
These are the sons of Rachel, which were born to Jacob: all the souls were fourteen.
10 I
23
And the sons of Dan; Hushim.
10 I
24
And the sons of Naphtali; Jahzeel, and Guni, and Jezer, and Shillem.
10 I
25
These are the sons of Bilhah, which Laban gave unto Rachel his daughter, and she bare these unto Jacob: all the souls were seven.
10 I
26
All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, which came out of his loins, besides Jacob’s sons’ wives, all the souls were threescore and six;
10 I
27
And the sons of Joseph, which were born him in Egypt, were two souls: all the souls of the house of Jacob, which came into Egypt, were threescore and ten.
10 I
28
And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to direct his face unto Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen.
10 I
29
And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen, and presented himself unto him; and he fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while.
10 I
30
And Israel said unto Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen thy face, because thou art yet alive.
12 I
31
And Joseph said unto his brethren, and unto his father’s house, I will go up, and shew Pharaoh, and say unto him, My brethren, and my father’s house, which were in the land of Canaan, are come unto me;
10 I
32
And the men are shepherds, for their trade hath been to feed cattle; and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have.
10 I
33
And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What is your occupation?
10 I
34
That ye shall say, Thy servants’ trade hath been about cattle from our youth even until now, both we, and also our fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptians.
10 I
Genesis 47
1
Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, are come out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, they are in the land of Goshen.
10 I
2
And he took some of his brethren, even five men, and presented them unto Pharaoh.
10 I
3
And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What is your occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, both we, and also our fathers.
10 I
4
They said morever unto Pharaoh, For to sojourn in the land are we come; for thy servants have no pasture for their flocks; for the famine is sore in the land of Canaan: now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen.
10 I
5
And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee:
10 I
6
The land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land make thy father and brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let them dwell: and if thou knowest any men of activity among them, then make them rulers over my cattle.
10 I
7
And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
10 I
8
And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old art thou?
10 I
9
And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.
10 I
10
And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh.
12 I
11
And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.
10 I
12
And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father’s household, with bread, according to their families.
10 I
2 Chronicles 24
1
Joash was seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name also was Zibiah of Beersheba.
2
And Joash did that which was right in the sight of the Lord all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
2 I
3
And Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he begat sons and daughters.
4
And it came to pass after this, that Joash was minded to repair the house of the Lord.
5
And he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out unto the cities of Judah, and gather of all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year, and see that ye hasten the matter. Howbeit the Levites hastened it not.
6
And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said unto him, Why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the collection, according to the commandment of Moses the servant of the Lord, and of the congregation of Israel, for the tabernacle of witness?
7
For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up the house of God; and also all the dedicated things of the house of the Lord did they bestow upon Baalim.
8
And at the king’s commandment they made a chest, and set it without at the gate of the house of the Lord.
9
And they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in to the Lord the collection that Moses the servant of God laid upon Israel in the wilderness.
10
And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had made an end.
11
Now it came to pass, that at what time the chest was brought unto the king’s office by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king’s scribe and the high priest’s officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to his place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.
12
And the king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of the Lord, and hired masons and carpenters to repair the house of the Lord, and also such as wrought iron and brass to mend the house of the Lord.
13
So the workmen wrought, and the work was perfected by them, and they set the house of God in his state, and strengthened it.
14
And when they had finished it, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, whereof were made vessels for the house of the Lord, even vessels to minister, and to offer withal, and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt offerings in the house of the Lord continually all the days of Jehoiada.
15
But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of days when he died; an hundred and thirty years old was he when he died.
16
And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, both toward God, and toward his house.
17
Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king hearkened unto them.
18
And they left the house of the Lord God of their fathers, and served groves and idols: and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their trespass.
19
Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto the Lord; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear.
20
And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, which stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the Lord, that ye cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken the Lord, he hath also forsaken you.
21
And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of the Lord.
22
Thus Joash the king remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, The Lord look upon it, and require it.
23
And it came to pass at the end of the year, that the host of Syria came up against him: and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all the spoil of them unto the king of Damascus.
24
For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men, and the Lord delivered a very great host into their hand, because they had forsaken the Lord God of their fathers. So they executed judgment against Joash.
25
And when they were departed from him, (for they left him in great diseases,) his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he died: and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in the sepulchres of the kings.
26
And these are they that conspired against him; Zabad the son of Shimeath an Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith a Moabitess.
27
Now concerning his sons, and the greatness of the burdens laid upon him, and the repairing of the house of God, behold, they are written in the story of the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
Acts 18
1
After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;
2
And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them.
3
And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.
4
And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
7 I
5
And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ.
6
And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean; from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.
7
And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man’s house, named Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue.
8
And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.
9
Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:
9 I
10
For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.
5 I
11
And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
12
And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,
13
Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.
14
And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:
15
But if it be a question of words and names, and of your law, look ye to it; for I will be no judge of such matters.
16
And he drave them from the judgment seat.
17
Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things.
18
And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow.
19
And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
20
When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not;
21
But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus.
22
And when he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up, and saluted the church, he went down to Antioch.
