Thus says Cyrus king of Persia: Jehovah the God of Heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and He has commanded me to build Him a house at Jerusalem which is in Judah.

And in the days of these kings, the God of Heaven shall set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed. And the kingdom shall not be left to other people. It shall break in pieces and bring all these kingdoms to an end, and it shall stand forever.

And he said to them, I am a Hebrew. And I fear Jehovah the God of Heaven, who has made the sea and the dry land.

And in the same hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. In the earthquake seven thousand people were killed, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of Heaven.

Now Jehovah said to Abram: Depart from your land, from your kindred and from your father's house, to a land that I will show you.

I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who despises you; and in you all families of the earth shall be blessed.

And Abram took Sarai his wife and Lot his brother's son, and all their possessions that they had collected, and the souls they had acquired in Haran, and they departed to go into the land of Canaan. So they came into the land of Canaan.

And Jehovah appeared to Abram and said, To your seed I will give this land. And there he built an altar unto Jehovah, who appeared to him.

for all the land which you see I give to you and your seed in perpetuity.

On that day Jehovah made a covenant with Abram, saying: To your seed I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates;

Also I have given unto you and your seed after you the land in which you sojourn, all the land of Canaan, as an enduring possession; and I will be their God.

and said: By Myself I have sworn, says Jehovah, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only one;

And in your Seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.

Sojourn in this land, and I will be with you and bless you; for to you and your seed I give all these lands. And I will perform the oath which I swore unto Abraham your father.

And I will make your seed multiply as the stars of the heavens; I will give to your seed all these lands; and in your Seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed;

And Jehovah appeared to him the same night and said, I am the God of your father Abraham; do not fear, for I am with you. I will bless you and multiply your seed for My servant Abraham's sake.

And it shall be, when Jehovah brings you into the land of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, which He swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, that you shall do this service in this month.

Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Your servants, to whom You swore by Your own self, and said to them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens; and all this land that I have spoken of I give to your seed, and they shall always possess it.

Because Jehovah was not able to bring this people to the land which He swore to give them, therefore He killed them in the wilderness.

Except for Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun, you shall by no means enter the land which I raised My hand and swore to make you dwell there.

Surely none of the men who came up from Egypt, from twenty years old and above, shall see the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, because they have not wholly followed Me,

Behold, I have set the land before you; go in and possess the land which Jehovah has sworn to your fathers; to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; to give to them and their seed after them.

And Jehovah said to him, This is the land of which I have sworn to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, I will give it to your seed. I have caused you to see it with your eyes, but you shall not cross over there.

Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I have sworn to their fathers to give to them.

And the Angel of Jehovah came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said: I led you up from Egypt and brought you into the land of which I had sworn to your fathers; and I said, I will never break My covenant with you.

And God gave him no inheritance in it, not even enough to set his foot on. But even when Abraham had no child, He promised to give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him.

By faith he sojourned in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise;

Behold, I am sending an Angel before you to keep you in the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.

But if you indeed obey His voice and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and will afflict those who beseige you.

And I will send an Angel before you, and I will drive out the Canaanite and the Amorite and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite.

I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you with My eye.

The Angel of Jehovah encamps round about those who fear Him, and rescues them.

You will lead me with Your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.

Bless Jehovah, you His angels, who excel in strength, who do His Word, heeding the voice of His Word.

Trust in Jehovah with all your heart, and lean not unto your own understanding.

In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

In all their affliction He was afflicted, and the Angel of His Presence saved them; in His love and in His pity He redeemed them; and He bore them, and carried them all the days of old.

Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who are about to inherit salvation.
