In that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, To your seed I will give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river Euphrates.

And sojourn in this land; and I will be with you, and bless you, for I will give to you and to your seed all this land; and I will establish My oath which I swore to your father Abraham.

And I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven; and I will give to your seed all this land, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in your seed.

And may my God bless you, and increase you, and multiply you, and you shall become an assembly of nations.

And may He give you the blessing of my father Abraham, even to you and to your seed after you, to inherit the land of your sojourning, which God gave to Abraham.

And the Lord stood upon it, and said, I am the God of your father Abraham, and the God of Isaac; fear not, the land on which you lie I will give to you and to your seed.

and said to me, Behold, I will increase you, and multiply you, and will make of you a multitude of nations; and I will give this land to you, and to your seed after you, for an everlasting possession.

Command the people to go round, and encompass the city; and let your men of war pass on, armed before the Lord.

And let the men of war proceed before, and the priests bringing up the rear behind the ark of the covenant of the Lord [proceed] the sounding the trumpets.

And the ark of the covenant of God, having gone round immediately, returned into the camp, and lodged there.

And the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets went on before the Lord; and afterwards the men of war went on, and the remainder of the multitude went after the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.

and I came to Jerusalem, and I understood the evil which Eliashib had done in the case of Tobiah, in making for him a treasury in the court of the house of God.

And I gave orders, and they purified the treasuries; and I restored the vessels into the house of God, [and] the offerings, and the frankincense.

And I strove with the commanders, and said, Why has the house of God been abandoned? And I assembled them, and set them in their place.

to the charge of Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and Pedaiah of the Levites. And next to them [was] Hanan the son of Zaccur, son of Matthaniah; for they were accounted faithful. [It was] their office to distribute to their brothers.

In those days I saw in Judah [men] treading wine-presses on the Sabbath, and carrying sheaves, and loading donkeys with wine, grapes, figs, and every [kind of] burden, and bringing them into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day.

And it came to pass, when the gates were set up in Jerusalem, before the Sabbath, that I spoke, and they shut the gates; and I gave orders that they should not be opened till after the Sabbath. And I set [some] of my servants at the gates, that none should bring [in] burdens on the Sabbath day.

So we will not hearken to you to do all this evil, to break covenant with our God, to marry strange wives.
