And he gave word of it to his father and his brothers; but his father protesting said, What sort of a dream is this? am I and your mother and your brothers to go down on our faces to the earth before you?

Now about three months after this, word came to Judah that Tamar, his daughter-in-law, had been acting like a loose woman and was with child. And Judah said, Take her out and let her be burned.

But if the ox has frequently done such damage in the past, and the owner has had word of it and has not kept it under control, so that it has been the cause of the death of a man or woman, not only is the ox to be stoned, but its owner is to be put to death.

Because he had no respect for the word of the Lord, and did not keep his law, that man will be cut off without mercy and his sin will be on him.

The word of the Lord came to me, saying,

The word of the Lord came to you face to face on the mountain, out of the heart of the fire,

(I was between the Lord and you at that time, to make clear to you the word of the Lord: because, through fear of the fire, you did not go up the mountain;) saying,

And if word comes to you, in one of the towns which the Lord your God is giving you for your resting-place,

If word of this comes to your ears, then let this thing be looked into with care, and if there is no doubt that it is true, and such evil has been done in Israel;

On the word of two or three witnesses, a man may be given the punishment of death; but he is not to be put to death on the word of one witness.

And if you say in your hearts, How are we to be certain that the word does not come from the Lord?

When a prophet makes a statement in the name of the Lord, if what he says does not take place and his words do not come true, then his word is not the word of the Lord: the words of the prophet were said in the pride of his heart, and you are to have no fear of him.

Whatever your lips have said, see that you do it; for you gave your word freely to the Lord your God.

And the Lord has made it clear this day that you are a special people to him, as he gave you his word; and that you are to keep all his orders;

And your hearts are turned again to the Lord your God, and you give ear to his word which I give you today, you and your children, with all your heart and with all your soul:

But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may do it.

Moses said to them, Let the words which I have said to you today go deep into your hearts, and give orders to your children to do every word of this law.

Who said of his father, Who is he? and of his mother, I have not seen her; he kept himself separate from his brothers and had no knowledge of his children: for they have given ear to your word and kept your agreement.
