'Life' in the Bible

Follow the whole instruction the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live, prosper, and have a long life in the land you will possess.

Do this so that you may fear the Lord your God all the days of your life by keeping all His statutes and commands I am giving you, your son, and your grandson, and so that you may have a long life.

But don’t eat the blood, since the blood is the life, and you must not eat the life with the meat.

take an awl and pierce through his ear into the door, and he will become your slave for life. Also treat your female slave the same way.

You must not eat leavened bread with it. For seven days you are to eat unleavened bread with it, the bread of hardship—because you left the land of Egypt in a hurry—so that you may remember for the rest of your life the day you left the land of Egypt.

It is to remain with him, and he is to read from it all the days of his life, so that he may learn to fear the Lord his God, to observe all the words of this instruction, and to do these statutes.

“Here is the law concerning a case of someone who kills a person and flees there to save his life, having killed his neighbor accidentally without previously hating him:

You must not show pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, and foot for foot.

“Do not take a pair of millstones or an upper millstone as security for a debt, because that is like taking a life as security.

Your life will hang in doubt before you. You will be in dread night and day, never certain of survival.

See, today I have set before you life and prosperity, death and adversity.

I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you today that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Choose life so that you and your descendants may live,

love the Lord your God, obey Him, and remain faithful to Him. For He is your life, and He will prolong your life in the land the Lord swore to give to your fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”

See now that I alone am He;there is no God but Me.I bring death and I give life;I wound and I heal.No one can rescue anyone from My hand.

For they are not meaningless words to you but they are your life, and by them you will live long in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess.”
