'Minister' in the Bible
But her commercial gain and her prostitute’s wages will be dedicated to the Lord; it will not be treasured or stored up, but her commercial gain will become sufficient food and stately clothing for those who dwell (minister) in the presence of the Lord.
“Also the foreigners who join themselves to the Lord,To minister to Him, and to love the name of the Lord,To be His servants, everyone who keeps the Sabbath without profaning itAnd holds fast to My covenant [by conscientious obedience];
“All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered to you [as the eastern pastoral tribes join the trading tribes],The rams of Nebaioth will serve you;They will go up with acceptance [as sacrifices] on My altar,And I will glorify the house of My honor and splendor.
“Foreigners will build up your walls,And their kings will serve you;For in My [righteous] wrath I struck you,But in My favor and grace I have had compassion on you.
