Genesis Chapter 27

⁴⁶Rebekah said to Isaac, "I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, just like these, of the daughters of the land, what good will my life do me?"

Genesis Chapter 28

¹Isaac called Jacob, blessed him, and commanded him, "Don't get a wife from the daughters of Canaan.

²Arise, go to Paddan Aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother's father. Get a wife from there, from the daughters of Laban your mother's brother.

³May God Almighty bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, that you may be a group of peoples, ⁴and give you the blessing of Abraham, to you and to your offspring with you, that you may inherit the land where you travel, which God gave to Abraham." ⁵Isaac sent Jacob away. He went to Paddan Aram, to Laban son of Bethuel the Syrian. He was the brother of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau.

⁶Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan Aram, to get a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he gave him a command, saying, "Don't get a wife from the daughters of Canaan."; ⁷and that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and went to Paddan Aram.

⁸Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan didn't please Isaac, his father.

⁹So Esau went to Ishmael and, in addition to the wives that he already had, took Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham's son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife.

Judges Chapter 17

¹There was a man of the hill country of Ephraim, whose name was Micah.

²He said to his mother, "The eleven hundred [pieces] of silver that were taken from you, about which you uttered a curse, and also spoke it in my ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it." His mother said, "Blessed be my son of ForeverOne." ³He restored the eleven hundred [pieces] of silver to his mother; and his mother said, "I most certainly dedicate the silver to ForeverOne from my hand for my son, to make an engraved image and a molten image. Now therefore I will restore it to you." ⁴When he restored the money to his mother, his mother took two hundred [pieces] of silver, and gave them to the founder, who made of it an engraved image and a molten image: and it was in the house of Micah.

⁵The man Micah had a house of gods, and he made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.

⁶In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did what was right in his own eyes.

⁷There was a young man out of Bethlehem Judah, of the family of Judah, who was a Levite; and he lived there.

⁸The man departed out of the city, out of Bethlehem Judah, to live where he could find [a place], and he came to the hill country of Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he traveled.

⁹Micah said to him, "Where did you come from?" He said to him, "I am a Levite of Bethlehem Judah, and I am looking for a place to live." ¹⁰Micah said to him, "Dwell with me, and be to me a father and a priest, and I will give you ten [pieces] of silver per year, a suit of clothing, and your food." So the Levite went in.

¹¹The Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was to him as one of his sons.

¹²Micah consecrated the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.

¹³Then Micah said, "Now I know that ForeverOne will do good to me, since I have a Levite as my priest."

Judges Chapter 18

¹In those days there was no king in Israel: and in those days the tribe of the Danites sought an inheritance to dwell in; for to that day [their] inheritance had not fallen to them among the tribes of Israel.

²The children of Dan sent of their family five men from their whole number, men of valor, from Zorah, and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land, and to search it; and they said to them, "Go, explore the land!" They came to the hill country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, and lodged there.

³When they were by the house of Micah, they knew the voice of the young man the Levite; and they turned aside there, and said to him, "Who brought you here? What do you do in this place? What do you have here?" ⁴He said to them, "Thus and thus has Micah dealt with me, and he has hired me, and I have become his priest." ⁵They said to him, "Please ask counsel of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous." ⁶The priest said to them, "Go in peace. Your way in which you go is before ForeverOne." ⁷Then the five men departed, and came to Laish, and saw the people who were there, how they lived in security, in the way of the Sidonians, quiet and secure; for there was none in the land, possessing authority, that might put [them] to shame in anything, and they were far from the Sidonians, and had no dealings with any man.

⁸They came to their brothers to Zorah and Eshtaol: and their brothers said to them, "What do you say?" ⁹They said, "Arise, and let us go up against them; for we have seen the land, and behold, it is very good. Do you stand still? Don't be slothful to go and to enter in to possess the land.

¹⁰When you go, you shall come to a secure people, and the land is large; for God has given it into your hand, a place where there is no lack of anything that is in the earth."

Matthew Chapter 27

¹Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death.

²They bound him, led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.

³Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that Jesus was condemned, felt remorse, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, ⁴saying, "I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood." But they said, "What is that to us? You see to it." ⁵He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary and departed. Then he went away and hanged himself.

⁶The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, "It's not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood." ⁷They took counsel, and bought the potter's field with them to bury strangers in.

⁸So that field has been called "The Field of Blood" to this day.

⁹Then what was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, "They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him upon whom a price had been set, whom some of the children of Israel priced, ¹⁰and they gave them for the potter's field, as ForeverOne commanded me." ¹¹Now Jesus stood before the governor; and the governor asked him, saying, "Are you the King of the Jews?" Jesus said to him, "So you say." ¹²When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

¹³Then Pilate said to him, "Don't you hear how many things they testify against you?" ¹⁴He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.

¹⁵Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner whom they desired.

¹⁶They had then a notable prisoner called Barabbas.

¹⁷So when they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called AnointedOne?" ¹⁸For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.
