Execute vengeance on the Midianites for the children of Israel. Afterward you shall be gathered to your people.

When commanders lead in Israel, when the people willingly offer themselves, bless Jehovah!

And Samson called out to Jehovah, saying, O Lord Jehovah, remember me, I pray! Strengthen me, I pray, only this once, O God, that I may once take vengeance on the Philistines for my two eyes!

A copy of the document was to be issued as a decree in every province and published for all people, so that the Jews would be ready on that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.

And shall God not avenge His elect who cry out day and night to Him, as He is patient with them?

And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?

Therefore it is said in the Book of the Wars of Jehovah: Waheb in Suphah, the brooks of the Arnon,

and he commanded them to teach the sons of Judah the Song of the Bow; behold, it is written in the Book of Jasher:

And it happened, as they fled before Israel and were on the descent of Beth Horon, that Jehovah cast down large hailstones from the heavens upon them as far as Azekah, and they died. There were more who died from the hailstones than the sons of Israel had killed with the sword.

And there has been no day like that, before it or after it, that Jehovah heeded the voice of a man; for Jehovah fought for Israel.

Their line has gone out through all the earth and their words to the ends of the world. In them He has set a tent for the sun,

The day is Yours, the night also is Yours; You have prepared the light and the sun.

You have established all the borders of the earth; You have made summer and winter.

to Him who made great lights, for His mercy is eternal;

the moon and stars to rule by night, for His mercy is eternal.

Praise Him, sun and moon; praise Him, all you stars of light!

Then the moon shall be abashed, and the sun shall be ashamed, when Jehovah of Hosts shall reign on Mount Zion, in Jerusalem, and before His elders, in splendor.

behold, I will bring back the shadow which has gone down the steps on the sundial of Ahaz, ten steps backward. So the sun returned ten steps, by which it had gone down.

The earth quakes before them, the heavens tremble. The sun and moon grow dark, and the stars withdraw their brightness.

The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of Jehovah.

The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their brightness.

that you may become sons of your Father in Heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

And immediately after the affliction of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.

And I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood.

Then the fourth angel sounded: And a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. A third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night.

And the fourth angel poured out his bowl onto the sun, and it was given to him to scorch men with fire.

And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has authority over these plagues; and they did not repent to give Him glory.

And the city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it; and the Lamb is its light.
