God said: This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come:

You are to undergo circumcision. It will be the sign of the covenant between us.

So Abimelech got up early in the morning. He called all his servants and told them everything. The men were very afraid.

He had a dream in which he saw a stairway set up on the earth with its top reaching up to heaven. He saw the angels of God going up and coming down on it.

During the wheat harvest Reuben went out into the fields. He found some mandrake plants. He brought them to his mother Leah. Rachel said to Leah: Please, give me some of your son's mandrake plants.

But Laban said: If now it pleases you, stay with me. I have observed that Jehovah has blessed me on your account.

Once, when the flocks were mating, I dreamed that all the rams were either spotted or speckled.

He drove all his livestock ahead of him. He took all the possessions that he had accumulated. He took his own livestock that he had accumulated in Paddan-aram and went back to his father Isaac in Canaan. When Laban went to shear his sheep, Rachel stole her father's household idols.

In a dream that night God came to Laban. God said: Be careful not to threaten Jacob in any way.

It appears that you are going because your heart's desire is for your father's house. But why have you taken my gods?

So everyone gave Jacob their idols and their earrings. He buried them under the oak (big) tree near Shechem.

One time Joseph had a dream. He told his brothers about it and they hated him even more.

both prisoners, the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt, had dreams one night. Each man had a dream with its own special meaning.

Two years later Pharaoh had a dream. He dreamed he was standing by the Nile River.

The king was upset the next morning. So he called his magicians and wise men and told them what he had dreamed. None of them could tell him what the dreams meant.

Is this the cup that my master drinks from and that he uses for telling the future? What you have done is evil!'

Jehovah said: If they will not believe you or be convinced by the first sign, then this one will convince them.

Then Pharaoh sent for his wise men and sorcerers. These Egyptian magicians did the same thing using their magic spells.

Then Pharaoh sent for his wise men and sorcerers. These Egyptian magicians did the same thing using their magic spells.

I did this because I want you to tell your children and your grandchildren about the mighty things and the signs I have done in Egypt. Then all of you will know that I am Jehovah.

Never allow a witch to live.

Never allow a witch to live.

Bring the choice first fruits of your soil into the house of Jehovah your God. Do not boil a young goat in the milk of its mother.

Put the Urim and Thummim into the breast piece for decision-making. They, too, will be over Aaron's heart when he comes into Jehovah's presence. In this way when he is in Jehovah's presence, Aaron will always be carrying over his heart the means for determining Jehovah's decisions for the Israelites.

Then he placed the breastplate on him and he placed the Urim and Thummim.

I will show Aaron which goat will be sacrificed to me and which one will be sent into the desert to the demon Azazel.

Do not eat any meat with blood still in it. Never cast evil spells, and never consult fortunetellers.

Do not eat any meat with blood still in it. Never cast evil spells, and never consult fortunetellers.

Do not turn to psychics or mediums to get help. That will make you unclean. I am Jehovah your God.

I will condemn them and their families. I will exclude them from the people. I will exclude from the people everyone who chases after Molech as if he were a prostitute.

If you claim to receive messages from the dead, you will be put to death by stoning, just as you deserve.

Speak to the Israelites and say: 'A man's wife may have been unfaithful to him and may have had sexual intercourse with another man without her husband's knowledge. She may have kept it secret if there were no witnesses to accuse her and she was not caught in the act. read more. A husband may have a fit of jealousy and suspect his wife, whether she was actually unfaithful or not. He must then take his wife to the priest along with eight cups of barley flour as an offering for her. He must not pour olive oil on the flour or put frankincense on it, since it is a grain offering brought because of the husband's jealousy. It is an offering used for a confession, to remind someone of a sin that was committed. The priest will have the woman come forward and stand in Jehovah's presence. The priest will then take holy water in a piece of pottery and put some dust from the floor of the tent into the water. The priest will bring the woman into Jehovah's presence and loosen her hair. In her hands he will put the offering used for a confession, that is, the grain offering brought because of the husband's jealousy. The priest will hold the bitter water that can bring a curse in his hands. The priest will say to her: 'If no other man has had sexual intercourse with you and you have not been unfaithful to your husband, you are not guilty. This bitter water that can bring a curse will not harm you. If you have indeed been unfaithful and have had sexual intercourse with another man, Jehovah will make you an example for your people to see what happens when the curse of this oath comes true: Jehovah will make your uterus drop and your stomach swell. Then the priest will administer the oath and the curse by saying: May this water that can bring a curse go into your body and make your stomach swell and your uterus drop!' Then the woman will say: Amen! Amen! The priest will write these curses on a scroll and wash them off into the bitter water. He will have the woman drink the bitter water that can bring the curse. This water will go into her and become bitter. The priest will take the grain offering she was holding. He will present it to Jehovah, and bring it to the altar. The priest will take a handful of the grain offering as a memorial portion and burn it on the altar. Then he will have the woman drink the water. If she has become unclean by being unfaithful to her husband, the water that can bring the curse will go into her and become bitter. Her stomach will swell, her uterus will drop, and she will become cursed among her people. However if the woman is not unclean and is pure, she is not guilty and will be able to have children. These are the instructions for how to deal with jealousy. They tell you what to do when a woman is unfaithful to her husband and becomes unclean. They also tell you what to do when a husband has a fit of jealousy and is suspicious of his wife. He will make his wife stand in Jehovah's presence. The priest will do everything these instructions tell him to do. The husband is not guilty of doing anything wrong. But the woman will suffer the consequences of her sin.

He said: Listen to my words: 'When there are prophets of Jehovah among you, I make myself known to them in visions or speak to them in dreams.

They outnumber us, so please come and put a curse on them for me. Then maybe we will be able to defeat them and drive them out of the land. I know that when you pronounce a blessing, people are blessed, and when you pronounce a curse, they are placed under a curse. The elders of Moab and Midian left. They took money with them to pay for Balaam's services. They came to Balaam and told him what Balak had said.

This time, when the donkey saw the angel, it lay down. Balaam lost his temper and began to beat the donkey with his stick.

He said to Balak: Build seven altars here for me. Then bring me seven bulls and seven rams.

So he took him to the Field of Zophim on top of Mount Pisgah. He built seven altars there. He offered a bull and a ram on each altar.

For there is omen (spell) against Jacob, Nor is there any divination against Israel. At the proper time it will be said to Jacob and Israel: What God has done!

He uttered this prophecy: The message of Balaam son of Beor. These are the words of the man who can see clearly.

The oracle of him who hears the words of God, knows the knowledge of the Most High, and sees the vision of the Almighty. Falling down, yet having his eyes uncovered.

The land must also be divided by drawing lots. The tribes will receive their land based on the names of their ancestors.

Divide the land among your families by drawing lots. Give more land to larger families and less land to smaller ones. The land must be given to each family by drawing lots. Divide it among your ancestors' tribes.

Moses said to the Israelites: This is the land you will receive by drawing lots. This is the land that Jehovah has assigned to the nine and one-half tribes.

Bind them for a sign upon your hand. They shall be as frontlets between your eyes. Write them upon the posts of your house, and on your gates.

If a prophet or an interpreter of dreams appears among you and gives you a sign or a wonder (portent) (omen) (forecast of the future), in order to lead you to worship and serve gods that you have not worshiped before, and even if what they promise comes true, read more. do not listen to them. Jehovah your God is allowing them to test you. He will then know that you love Jehovah with all your heart. Follow Jehovah and respect him. Obey him and keep his commandments. Worship him and be faithful to him (stick to him) (stay close to him) (cleave, cling to him). Put to death any interpreters of dreams or prophets that tell you to rebel against Jehovah. For he (Jehovah) rescued you from Egypt, where you were slaves. Such people are evil and are trying to lead you away from the life that Jehovah has commanded you to live. They must be put to death, in order to get rid of this evil.

In the morning assemble by tribe. The tribe Jehovah picks will come forward family by family and man by man.

The families of the Levite clan of Kohath were the first to be assigned cities. The families who were descended from Aaron the priest were assigned thirteen cities from the territories of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin.

The clan of Gershon was assigned thirteen cities from the territories of Issachar, Asher, Naphtali, and East Manasseh in Bashan.

By drawing lots, the people of Israel assigned these cities and their pasturelands to the Levites, as Jehovah commanded through Moses.

After the death of Joshua, the children of Israel asked Jehovah (YHWH), saying: Who will go first to fight against the Canaanites for us?

Gideon said to God: You have said you will rescue Israel using me.

When Gideon arrived, he heard a man telling a friend about a dream. He was saying: I dreamed that a loaf of barley bread rolled into our camp and hit a tent. The tent collapsed and lay flat on the ground.

Zebah and Zalmunna said to Gideon: Kill us yourself. It takes a man to do this job. Gideon killed them and took the ornaments that were on the necks of their camels.

They answered: We will gladly give them to you. They spread out a cloth, and everyone put the earrings that he had taken on it. The gold earrings that Gideon got weighed over forty pounds. This did not include the ornaments, necklaces, and purple clothes that the kings of Midian wore. It also did not include the collars that were around the necks of their camels. read more. Gideon made an idol from the gold and placed it in his hometown, Ophrah. The Israelites abandoned God and went there to worship the idol. It was a trap for Gideon and his family.

This is what we will do: We will draw lots and choose some men to attack Gibeah.

The Ark of the Covenant was there at Bethel in those days. Phinehas, the son of Eleazar and grandson of Aaron, was in charge of it.

Samuel served before Jehovah as a child girded with a linen ephod.

the Philistines called in their priests and fortunetellers, and asked: What should we do with this Ark of Jehovah? Tell us how to send it back where it belongs!

You must make these models of the tumors and of the mice that are ravaging your country. You must give honor to the God of Israel. Perhaps he will stop punishing you, your gods, and your land.

The sin of divination is rebellion. Wickedness and idolatry are arrogance. They are evil. Because you rejected the word of Jehovah, he rejects you as king.

David escaped to Samuel at Ramah. He told him all that Saul had done to him. He and Samuel stayed in Naioth. Saul was told: David is at Naioth in Ramah. read more. Saul sent messengers to get David. They saw a group of prophets prophesying with their leader Samuel. God's Spirit came over Saul's messengers so that they also prophesied. Saul heard what happened. So he sent another group of messengers, but they prophesied the same way. He sent a third group of messengers, but the same thing happened to them. Finally, Saul left for Ramah himself. He went as far as the deep pit at the town of Secu. He asked: Where are Samuel and David? The people answered: At Prophets Village in Ramah. He went on from there to Naioth in Ramah. The spirit of God came on him and he acted like a prophet. Then he arrived at Naioth in Ramah. He even took off his clothes as he prophesied in front of Samuel. He lay there naked all day and all night. The saying: Is Saul one of the prophets? came from there.

The king said to Doeg: You turn around and attack the priests. Doeg the Edomite turned around and attacked the priests. That day he killed eighty-five men who wore the linen ephod.

Whom shall I call up for you? The woman asked. Samuel, he answered.

Later David asked Jehovah: Shall I go to the towns of Judah? Yes, Jehovah answered. Which one? David asked. Hebron, Jehovah told him.

David asked Jehovah: Shall I attack the Philistines? Will you hand them over to me? Jehovah answered David: Attack! I will certainly deliver the Philistines to you.

Once again David consulted Jehovah. Jehovah answered David: Do not attack them from here. Go around and get ready to attack them from the other side, near the balsam trees.

David saw that his servants were whispering to one another. He realized (discerned) that the child was dead. Is the child dead? David asked them. Yes, he is dead. They answered.

So they took the bull that was given them, and made it ready. They cried out to Baal from morning till the middle of the day. They said: O Baal, give ear to us. But there was no voice and no answer. They jumped up and down before the altar they had made.

So they gave loud cries and they cut themselves with knives and swords till the blood came streaming out all over them.

Now the men took it as a sign, and were quick to pick up on his word. They said: Benhadad is your brother. Then he said: Go and get him. So Ben-hadad came out to him and he made him get up into his carriage.

King Ahaziah of Israel fell off the balcony on the roof of his palace in Samaria and was seriously injured. He sent some messengers and said to them: Go to consult Baalzebub, the god of the Philistine city of Ekron, to find out whether or not I will recover from this.

It does not listen to the voice of charmers, no matter how skillful the charmer may be.

This is the vision seen by Isaiah the son of Amoz. It is about Judah and Jerusalem at the time of Kings Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah.

Ask Jehovah your God for a sign. Ask it in the deepest depths or in the highest heights.

I am here with the children Jehovah has given me. We are signs and symbols in Israel from Jehovah of Hosts, who lives on Mount Zion. People will say to you: Ask for help from the mediums and the fortunetellers, who whisper and mutter. Should people ask their God for help instead? Why should they ask the dead to help the living?

Jehovah, they came to you in their distress. When you disciplined them, they could barely whisper a prayer.

These also stagger from wine and reel from beer. Priests and prophets stagger from beer and are befuddled with wine. They reel from beer. They stagger when seeing visions. They stumble when rendering decisions.

From deep in the earth, you will call out for help. Your voice will sound like a mumble (indistinct voice) from out of the dust. It will be faint like a whisper.

They say to the seers: Do not see the future. They say to those who have visions: 'Do not have visions that tell us what is right. Tell us what we want to hear. Prophesy illusions.

Hear this you sensual one! You dwell securely and say in your heart: 'I am, and there is no one besides me. I will not sit as a widow. I will not lose children.'

They will come on you in full measure in spite of your abundance of sorceries, in spite of the great power of your spells.

I have heard what the prophets have said who prophesy falsely in my name. They say: 'I had a dream! I had a dream! How long? Is there anything in the hearts of the prophets, who prophesy falsehood, even these prophets of the deception of their own heart? read more. They think the dreams they tell will make my people forget my name, just as their ancestors forgot my name and turned to Baal worship. The prophet who has had a dream should say it is only a dream. The prophet who has heard my message should proclaim that message faithfully. What good is chaff compared with wheat? Says Jehovah.

The visions your prophets have seen for you are false and foolish! They have not made you fully aware of your sin so your fate might be changed. They have seen for you false words, driving you away.

Tell them: 'I am your warning sign. What I have done will happen to you. You will go into exile and into captivity.

There will no longer be any false visions or flattering fortune telling to the people.

My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and utter lying divinations. They will have no place in the council of my people.

Plead with your mother (your nation), for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband. Let her put away her acts of adultery from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts!

I will punish her for the days in which she burned incense to the Baals, when she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgot me, said Jehovah.

My people ask counsel at their stock, and their staff declares to them; for the spirit of adultery caused them to go astray. They have played the harlot, departing from their God.

Jehovah spoke concerning the prophets: They make my people stray. They bite with their teeth and cry, Peace, but receive nothing in their mouths. They declare holy war on him. Therefore you will have night. You will have no vision! It will be dark to you. You will not perform divination. The sun will go down on the prophets and they will be in the dark. read more.
