And Jabez called upon the God of Israel saying, Oh, that You might bless me, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would deal to bless me, keeping me from evil, to not be hurt. And God brought to pass what he had asked.

Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the River Euphrates, even to the western Sea, shall be your territory.

Now if Jehovah your God enlarges your territory, as He has sworn to your fathers, and gives you the land which He has promised to give to your fathers,

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;

the Hittites, the Perizzites, the giants,

And your seed shall be as the dust of the earth; you shall spread abroad to the west and the east, to the north and the south; and in you and in your Seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.

And I have set your borders from the Red Sea to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the River. For I will deliver up the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you.

For I will dispossess the nations before you and enlarge your borders; neither will any man covet your land when you go up to appear before Jehovah your God three times in the year.

However, you may slaughter and eat flesh within all your gates, whatever your soul desires, according to the blessing of Jehovah your God which He has given you; the unclean and the clean may eat of it, of the gazelle and the deer alike.

And now you have proceeded to depart because you have longed for your father's house. But why have you stolen my gods?

And the mixed multitude who were among them lusted after their lusts; and the children of Israel turned back and wept, saying: Who will give us flesh to eat?

but to a month of days, until it comes out of your nostrils and becomes loathsome to you, because you have despised Jehovah who is among you, and have wept before Him, saying, Why have we come up out of Egypt?

And he called the name of that place Kibroth Hattaavah, because there they buried the people who lusted.

And King David longed to go to Absalom. For he had been comforted concerning Amnon, because he had died.

And David longed and said, Oh, that someone would give me a drink of the water from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!

i1 [A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.] i0 par O God, You are my Mighty God. I will seek You earnestly; my soul thirsts for You; my flesh longs for You, as in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.

My soul longs, yea, is spent for the courts of Jehovah; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living Mighty God.

For He satisfies the longing soul, and fills the hungry soul with good.

My soul breaks with longing for Your Justice at all times.

Behold, I have longed for Your Precepts; revive me in Your righteousness.

I have longed for Your salvation, O Jehovah, and Your Law is my delight.

and by their prayer for you, who long for you because of the surpassing grace of God in you.

For God is my witness, how greatly I long for you all with the affections of Jesus Christ.

since he was longing for you all, and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick.
