Then the LORD came down in the cloud and spoke to him. He took some of the spirit he had given to Moses and gave it to the seventy leaders. When the spirit came on them, they began to shout like prophets, but not for long.

and the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud, stood at the entrance of the Tent, and called out, "Aaron! Miriam!" The two of them stepped forward,

Then the LORD came down to see the city and the tower which they had built,

I must go down to find out whether or not the accusations which I have heard are true."

and be ready the day after tomorrow. On that day I will come down on Mount Sinai, where all the people can see me.

The LORD came down on the top of Mount Sinai and called Moses to the top of the mountain. Moses went up

The LORD came down in a cloud, stood with him there, and pronounced his holy name, the LORD.

And no one has ever gone up to heaven except the Son of Man, who came down from heaven."

So I speak to him face-to-face, clearly and not in riddles; he has even seen my form! How dare you speak against my servant Moses?"

Abram bowed down with his face touching the ground, and God said,

When God finished speaking to Abraham, he left him.

Then the LORD said to Abraham, "There are terrible accusations against Sodom and Gomorrah, and their sin is very great.

Then the two men left and went on toward Sodom, but the LORD remained with Abraham.

The LORD said to Moses, "Take Joshua son of Nun, a capable man, and place your hands on his head.

Suddenly the spirit of the LORD will take control of you, and you will join in their religious dancing and shouting and will become a different person.

There, Elijah said to Elisha, "Tell me what you want me to do for you before I am taken away." "Let me receive the share of your power that will make me your successor," Elisha answered.

The fifty prophets from Jericho saw him and said, "The power of Elijah is on Elisha!" They went to meet him, bowed down before him,

In your goodness you told them what they should do; you fed them manna and gave them water to drink.

"I will give water to the thirsty land and make streams flow on the dry ground. I will pour out my spirit on your children and my blessing on your descendants.

The LORD says to his people, "I will come to Jerusalem to defend you and to save all of you that turn from your sins.

And I make a covenant with you: I have given you my power and my teachings to be yours forever, and from now on you are to obey me and teach your children and your descendants to obey me for all time to come."

"Afterward I will pour out my Spirit on everyone: your sons and daughters will proclaim my message; your old people will have dreams, and your young people will see visions.

Jesus said this about the Spirit, which those who believed in him were going to receive. At that time the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not been raised to glory.

But you do not live as your human nature tells you to; instead, you live as the Spirit tells you to---if, in fact, God's Spirit lives in you. Whoever does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.

We have not received this world's spirit; instead, we have received the Spirit sent by God, so that we may know all that God has given us.

There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit gives them.

There are different abilities to perform service, but the same God gives ability to all for their particular service.

The Spirit gives one person a message full of wisdom, while to another person the same Spirit gives a message full of knowledge.

The Spirit gives one person the power to work miracles; to another, the gift of speaking God's message; and to yet another, the ability to tell the difference between gifts that come from the Spirit and those that do not. To one person he gives the ability to speak in strange tongues, and to another he gives the ability to explain what is said.

So then, whoever rejects this teaching is not rejecting a human being, but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit.

Now that by your obedience to the truth you have purified yourselves and have come to have a sincere love for other believers, love one another earnestly with all your heart.

These are the people who cause divisions, who are controlled by their natural desires, who do not have the Spirit.

Let them serve as judges for the people on a permanent basis. They can bring all the difficult cases to you, but they themselves can decide all the smaller disputes. That will make it easier for you, as they share your burden.

So then, friends, choose seven men among you who are known to be full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, and we will put them in charge of this matter.

We ourselves, then, will give our full time to prayer and the work of preaching."
