Thematic Bible: The people of God


Thematic Bible



If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, Let my right-hand forget:


When Yahweh, hath built up, Zion, Hath appeared in his glory;

and ye said - Lo! Yahweh our God hath let us see his glory and his greatness, his voice also, have we heard out of the midst of the fire, - this day, have we seen, that God may speak with man who yet may live.


For, Yahweh's portion is his people, - Jacob, his inherited possession.

Therefore have I put my words in thy mouth, And with the shadow of my hand, have I covered thee, - To plant the heavens, and To lay the foundations of the earth, and To say unto Zion My people, thou art!

and hast established for thyself thy people Israel - for thyself as a people, unto times age-abiding, - thou thyself, also, O Yahweh, becoming their God.
