The other Key

And

it

came to pass,

after the year was expired,

at the time when kings go forth to battle,

 that David sent Joab, and his servants with him,

and all Israel;

and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah.

But

David tarried still at Jerusalem.

And it came to pass in an eveningtide,

that David 

arose

from off his bed,

and

walked upon

the

roof of the king's house:

**

Therefore Sarah laughed

within

herself,

saying,

After I am waxed old shall

I

have pleasure,

my lord

being old also?

**

and

from

the

roof

he

saw a woman washing

herself;

*

And it came to pass,

when

he

was come near to enter into Egypt,

that

he

said unto Sarai his wife,

Behold now,

I know that

thou art a fair

woman

to look upon:

*

but

Rachel was beautiful

and

well favoured.

**

Now

he

was ruddy,

and

withal of a beautiful

**

and

the woman was

very beautiful

to

look upon.

And David sent and inquired after the woman.

And one said,

**

Is not this Bath-sheba,

the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?

And

David

sent messengers,

and

took her;

and

she

came in unto him, and he lay with her;

**

And they were both naked,

the man

and

his wife,

and

were

not as-hamed.

**

for she

which hath opened

her mouth

to receive thy brother's blood

from thy hand;

was purified

 from her

uncleanness

:

and

she

returned

unto

her house.

**

She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.

Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.

She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.

Strength and honour

are her clothing;

and

 she

shall rejoice in time to come.

She openeth her mouth with wisdom;

and

in her tongue is the law of kindness.

 

She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.

Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.

Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.

Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.

Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

**

And

the woman conceived,

and sent and told David,

and said,

I am

with child.

**

The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.

*

And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?

*

Then he saith,

I

will return

into

my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.

IMMANUEL this way cometh

image

him;

And

the

Lord Edom

said unto

him,

Who hath made man's mouth?

or

who maketh the dumb,

or deaf,

or the seeing,

or the blind?

have not

I the Lord?

Now

therefore go,

and

I

will be with

thy

mouth,

and

teach thee

what

thou shalt say.

And he said,

O

my Lord,

send,

**

For

God,

said she,

hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel,

whom

Cain slew.

**

I pray thee,

by

the hand

of

him

whom

thou wilt send.

And

the

anger

of

the Lord was kindled against Moses, And the Lord

said

unto Moses,

Where

is Abel  thy brother?

*

And So God

called

the

light Day,

and

the darkness he called Night.

*

And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

*

And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh:

she

shall

be called Woman,

**

And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth,

and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.

**

because

she

was

taken out of Man.

And the children struggled together within her;

and

she said,

If it be so,

why

am

I

thus?

***.

And

if it be not so

now,

who

will make me a liar,

and

make my speech nothing worth?

How hast thou

helped him that is without power?

how

savest thou the arm that hath

no strength?

How

hast thou

counselled

him

that

hath no wisdom?

and

how

hast thou

plentifully declared

the thing

as it is?

And Joseph said unto them, Fear not:

for

am I

in

the place of God?

But as for you,

ye thought evil against me;

but God

meant it unto good,

to bring to pass,

as it is this day,

to save much people alive.

Now

therefore fear ye not:

IMMANUEL

will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.

To

whom

hast thou

uttered words?

and

whose spirit came from thee?

And she went to inquire of the Lord.

And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life;

and man became a living so-rule.

So on and so forth

And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine:

and he was the priest of the most high God.

And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:

*

When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance,

when he separated the sons of Adam,

he

set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.

 

For the Lord's portion

is

his people;

*

And Jacob said,

Sell me this day

thy birthright.

**

Jacob

is the lot

of

his inheritance.

And

he

said,

What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood   crieth unto me

from

the

ground.

And

now

art thou

cursed

from the earth,

which hath opened her

Shelomidth

mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;

And the children struggled

together

within her;

And Moses said unto the Lord,

My

punishment is greater than

I

can bear.

**

And I will take away mine hand,

And

thou

shalt see my back parts:

**

I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair:

I

hid not

my face

from

shame and spitting.

For the Lord God IMMANUEL will help me;

therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint,

and

I know

that ISamuelO

 shall not be ashamed.

IMMANUEL

is near that

justifieth me;

who

will contend with me?

let us stand together:

who is mine

adversary?

let him come near to me.

but

my face

shall not be seen.

Now the names of the twelve apostles are these;

The first,

Simon,

And I will restore

thy judges

as at

 the first,

And his father refused,

And

said,

I know it,

my son,

I know it:

And the Lord said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto

the first:

and

I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables,

which

thou brakest.

*

And

if thou doest not well,

sin

lieth at the door.

**

And

God said,

Let there be lights

in

the firmament

of

the

heaven to divide

 the day

from

the night;

and

let them

be for signs,

and

for seasons,

and

for days,

 and years:

And let them be for lights

in

the firmament

of

the

heaven to give light upon the earth:

and

it was so.

*

And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables which thou brakest,

and

thou shalt put

them

in the ark.

And I made an ark of shittim wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first,

**

Hearken unto me,

O Jacob and Israel,

my called;

I am he;

I am the first,

I

also

am the last.

Mine hand

also

And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand,

and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought them near unto him.

And Israel stretched out his right hand,

and laid it upon Ephraim's head, who was the younger,

and his left hand upon Manasseh's head, guiding his hands wittingly;

for

Manasseh was

the firstborn.

***.

and

my right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together.

And the serpent said unto the woman,

Ye

shall not surely die:

***.

All

ye,

assemble yourselves,

and hear;

which among them hath declared these things?

The Lord hath loved him:

he

will do his pleasure

on Babylon,

and

his arm shall be on the Chaldeans.

I,

even

I,

have spoken;

I   

I have called him:

I have brought him,

and he shall make his way prosperous.

And

went up into

the

mount,

 having the two tables

in

mine hand.

And

he

wrote on the tables,

according to the first writing,

the

ten commandments,

which the Lord spake unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire

in the day of

the

assembly:

**

And the Lord had respect unto

Aaron

and to his offering:

    

***.

and

the

Lord gave them

unto me.

**

Behold,

thou

hast driven

me

out this day

 from

the

face of the earth;

and

from

thy face

shall I be hid;

*

So

God created man

in his own

image

**

After this

opened

Aaron

his

mouth,

and

cursed his day.

And

I

spake,

and said,

**

And Cush begat Nimrod:

He

began to be a mighty

one

in the earth.

Let the day perish wherein

I

was born,

and

the night in which it was said,

There

is a man child conceived.

Let that day be darkness;

let not God regard it from above, neither

let the light shine upon it.

Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it;

let a cloud dwell upon it;

let the blackness of the day terrify it.

**

I

be hid;

and

I

shall be a fugitive

and a vagabond

in the earth;

and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.

**

And the Lord said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:

And it shall come

to pass,

while

my glory

passeth by,

*

for it

repenteth

me

that

I

have made them.

that

I

will put thee in a clift of the rock,

and

will cover thee with

my hand

while

I

pass by:

And

he said,

Is

not

Aaron the Levite

thy

brother?

I know

that

he

can speak well.

And also,

behold,

he

cometh forth to meet thee:

and

when he seeth thee,

he

will be glad

in his heart.
