unless, when we come into the land, you tie this cord of scarlet thread in the window through which you let us down, and gather to yourself into the house your father and your mother and your brothers and all your father's household.

She said, "According to your words, so be it." So she sent them away, and they departed; and she tied the scarlet cord in the window.

All the doorways and doorposts had squared artistic frames, and window was opposite window in three ranks.

He fashioned the two pillars of bronze; eighteen cubits was the height of one pillar, and a line of twelve cubits measured the circumference of both.

The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Indeed, my heritage is beautiful to me.

Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their utterances to the end of the world In them He has placed a tent for the sun,

When the man went out toward the east with a line in his hand, he measured a thousand cubits, and he led me through the water, water reaching the ankles.

"Therefore, thus says the LORD, 'Your wife will become a harlot in the city, your sons and your daughters will fall by the sword, your land will be parceled up by a measuring line and you yourself will die upon unclean soil. Moreover, Israel will certainly go from its land into exile.'"

'Therefore thus says the LORD, "I will return to Jerusalem with compassion; My house will be built in it," declares the LORD of hosts, "and a measuring line will be stretched over Jerusalem."'

Then I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, there was a man with a measuring line in his hand.

But I say, surely they have never heard, have they? Indeed they have; "THEIR VOICE HAS GONE OUT INTO ALL THE EARTH, AND THEIR WORDS TO THE ENDS OF THE WORLD."

For it is not he who commends himself that is approved, but he whom the Lord commends.
