'Ourselves' in the Bible

Please let us go to the Jordan where we can each get a log and can build ourselves a place to live there.”“Go,” he said.

If we tell ourselves, "Let's remain in the city,' we'll die there since there's famine in the city. But if we sit here, we'll die, too. So let's go over to the Arameans! If they spare our lives, we'll live, and if they kill us"we're dying anyway!"
