'Received' in the Bible

For if the message spoken through angels proved to be so firm that every violation or disobedience received its just penalty,

and in one case tithes are received by mortal men, while in the other by him who is affirmed to be alive.

So if perfection had in fact been possible through the Levitical priesthood -- for on that basis the people received the law -- what further need would there have been for another priest to arise, said to be in the order of Melchizedek and not in Aaron's order?

For by it the people of old received God's commendation.

By faith, even though Sarah herself was barren and he was too old, he received the ability to procreate, because he regarded the one who had given the promise to be trustworthy.

By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac. He had received the promises, yet he was ready to offer up his only son.

and he reasoned that God could even raise him from the dead, and in a sense he received him back from there.

and women received back their dead raised to life. But others were tortured, not accepting release, to obtain resurrection to a better life.
