For
thou art
an holy people
unto the Lord thy God,
and
the Lord hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all
the nations that are upon the earth.

How
our fathers went
down
into Egypt,
and
we have dwelt in Egypt a long time;
and
the Egyptians vexed us,
and our
fathers:
*
When
thou
shalt besiege a city a long time, in making
war against it to
take
it,
thou
shalt not destroy the trees
thereof
by forcing an axe against them:
for
thou mayest eat of them, and thou shalt
not cut them down (for the tree of the field is man's life) to
employ them in the siege:
Only
the trees
which
thou knowest that they be not trees for meat, - thou
shalt destroy
and cut them down;
and
thou shalt build bulwarks against the city that maketh war
with
thee, until it be subdued.
*
And
now also
the axe
is
laid unto the root of
the trees: therefore
every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
*
Wherefore
I
say unto you,
All
manner
of sin and
blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men:
*
And
when Jacob had made an
end
of commanding his sons,
he gathered up
his feet into the bed,
and
yielded up the ghost, and was gathered unto his people.
*
but
the blasphemy
against the Holy Ghost shall
not be forgiven unto men.
And
whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man,
it
shall be forgiven him:
but
whosoever
speaketh against the Holy
Ghost, it
shall not be forgiven him,
neither
in
this world, neither in the world to come.
Either
make the tree good, and
his fruit good;
or
else
make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt:
for
the tree is known by
his fruit.
**
Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.
These
are the beasts which ye
shall eat:
Law
As
for the likeness of their faces,
**
And
a river went out of Eden to
water the garden;
and
from thence
it was parted,
and
became into
four heads.
**
As for the
likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man,
and the face of
a lion, on the right side:
and they four
had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an
eagle.
**
face of a lion
*
Judah is a lion's whelp:
from
the prey,
my son,
thou
art
gone up:
he stooped down,
he couched as a lion,
and
as an old lion;
who
shall
rouse him
up?
**
Their
roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young lions:
yea,
they
shall
roar, and lay hold of the prey,
and shall carry it
away
safe, and none
shall deliver it.
And
in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea:
and
if one look unto the land, behold darkness and
sorrow,
and the light is
darkened in the heavens thereof.
*
and the
face of a lion,
on the right side:
***
And
he put five bases on the right
side of
the house,
and
five on
the left side of the house:
and
he set
the sea
on
the right side of the house eastward
over against the south.
***
The ox knoweth
his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people
doth not consider.
**
and
they four
had the face of an ox on
the left side;
**
And God said,
Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl
that may fly
above the earth in the open
firmament of heaven.
**
they
four also had the
face of an eagle.
**
And
she again bare his brother Abel.
And
Abel was a keeper of sheep, . . .
. . . And Abel,
he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof.
And the Lord had respect unto Abel and
to his offering:
**
My sheep wandered through all the mountains,
and
upon every
high hill:
yea,
my flock was scattered upon all the face
of
the earth,
and
none did search or seek after them.
Therefore,
ye shepherds,
hear the word of the Lord;
Ra
As
I live, saith the Lord God, ISamuelyeaon, surely because my
flock
became a prey,
and
my flock became meat to every beast of the field,
because there
was no shepherd,
neither
did
my shepherds
search for my flock,
but the shepherds
fed themselves,
and
fed not
my flock;
Therefore,
O ye shepherds,
hear the word of the Lord;
Ra
Thus saith the Lord
God; ISamuelyea
Behold,
I am against the shepherds; and I will
require my flock at their hand,
and
cause them to cease from feeding
the flock;
neither
shall the shepherds feed themselves any more;
for I
will deliver my flock from their mouth,
that
they
may not be meat for them.
For
thus saith the Lord God; ISamuelyeaOn
Behold,
I,
even I,
will
both
search my sheep, and seek
them out.
As
a
shepherd seeketh out
his flock in the day
that he is among
his sheep
that are scattered;
so
will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out
of all places
where they have
been scattered in the cloudy
and
dark day.
And
I
will bring them out from the people,
and
gather them from the countries,
and
will bring them to their own land,
and
feed them
upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers,
and in all the inhabited places of the country.
I will feed them in a good pasture,
and
upon the high mountains of Israel
shall their fold be:
there
shall they lie in a good fold,
and
in a fat pasture shall they
feed
upon the mountains of Israel.
I will feed my flock,
and
I will cause them to lie down,
saith
the Lord God.
