'Acquire' in the Bible

Live with us. The land is before you. Settle here, move about, and acquire property in it.”

The only land he didn’t acquire was the priests’ portion, for it was given to them by Pharaoh. They lived off the rations Pharaoh had given them; therefore they did not sell their land.

However, he must not acquire many horses for himself or send the people back to Egypt to acquire many horses, for the Lord has told you, ‘You are never to go back that way again.’

He must not acquire many wives for himself so that his heart won’t go astray. He must not acquire very large amounts of silver and gold for himself.

Then Boaz said, “On the day you buy the land from Naomi, you will also acquire Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the deceased man, to perpetuate the man’s name on his property.”

I will also acquire Ruth the Moabitess, Mahlon’s widow, as my wife, to perpetuate the deceased man’s name on his property, so that his name will not disappear among his relatives or from the gate of his home. You are witnesses today.”

Get wisdom—how much better it is than gold!And get understanding—it is preferable to silver.

You will eat but not be satisfied,for there will be hunger within you.What you acquire, you cannot save,and what you do save,I will give to the sword.

For those who have served well as deacons acquire a good standing for themselves, and great boldness in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
