“This is now bone of my bones,
And flesh of my flesh;
She shall be called Woman,
Because she was taken out of Man.”

Laban said to him, “Surely you are my bone and my flesh.” And he stayed with him a month.

It is to be eaten in a single house; you are not to bring forth any of the flesh outside of the house, nor are you to break any bone of it.

They shall leave none of it until morning, nor break a bone of it; according to all the statute of the Passover they shall observe it.

Also, anyone who in the open field touches one who has been slain with a sword or who has died naturally, or a human bone or a grave, shall be unclean for seven days.

A clean person shall take hyssop and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it on the tent and on all the furnishings and on the persons who were there, and on the one who touched the bone or the one slain or the one dying naturally or the grave.

“For the Lord will vindicate His people,
And will have compassion on His servants,
When He sees that their strength is gone,
And there is none remaining, bond or free.

Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and said, “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.

You are my brothers; you are my bone and my flesh. Why then should you be the last to bring back the king?’

Say to Amasa, ‘Are you not my bone and my flesh? May God do so to me, and more also, if you will not be commander of the army before me continually in place of Joab.’”

therefore behold, I am bringing calamity on the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam every male person, both bond and free in Israel, and I will make a clean sweep of the house of Jeroboam, as one sweeps away dung until it is all gone.

Behold, I will bring evil upon you, and will utterly sweep you away, and will cut off from Ahab every male, both bond and free in Israel;

For the whole house of Ahab shall perish, and I will cut off from Ahab every male person both bond and free in Israel.

For the Lord saw the affliction of Israel, which was very bitter; for there was neither bond nor free, nor was there any helper for Israel.

Then all Israel gathered to David at Hebron and said, “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.

However, put forth Your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh; he will curse You to Your face.”

“He loosens the bond of kings
And binds their loins with a girdle.

“My bone clings to my skin and my flesh,
And I have escaped only by the skin of my teeth.

The Lord is the maker of them all.

By forbearance a ruler may be persuaded,
And a soft tongue breaks the bone.

“I will make you pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant;

So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to its bone.
