Aliança

8 And God said to Noah and to his sons with him, 9 "As for me, behold, I am establishing my covenant with you and with your seed after you, 10 and with every living creature that is with you—the birds, the animals, and every animal of the earth with you, from all that came out of the ark to all the animals of the earth. 11 I am establishing my covenant with you, that never again will all flesh be cut off by the waters of a flood, nor will there ever be a flood that destroys the earth." 12 And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant that I am making between me and you, and between every living creature that is with you for future generations. 13 My bow I have set in the clouds, and it shall be for a sign of the covenant between me and between the earth.

11 I am establishing my covenant with you, that never again will all flesh be cut off by the waters of a flood, nor will there ever be a flood that destroys the earth."

13 My bow I have set in the clouds, and it shall be for a sign of the covenant between me and between the earth.

18 On that day Yahweh made* a covenant with Abram saying, "To your offspring I will give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates river, 19 the land of the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites, 20 the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim, 21 the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites."

3 Then Abram fell upon his face and God spoke with him, saying, 4 "As for me, behold, my covenant shall be with you, and you shall be the father of a multitude of nations. 5 Your name shall no longer be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham, for I will make you the father of a multitude of nations. 6 And I will make you exceedingly* fruitful. I will make you a nation, and kings shall go out from you. 7 And I will establish my covenant between me and you, and between your offspring after you, throughout their generations as an everlasting covenant to be as God for you and to your offspring after you. 8 And I will give to you and to your offspring after you the land in which you are living as an alien,* all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting property. And I will be to them as God."

9 And God said to Abraham, "Now as for you, you must keep my covenant, you and your offspring after you, throughout their generations. 10 This is my covenant which you shall keep, between me and you, and also with* your offspring after you: Every male among you shall be circumcised. 11 And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you.

5 In the fourteenth year Kedorlaomer and the kings who were with him came and defeated the Rephaim in Ashteroth-Karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh-Kiriathaim,

5 And now if you will carefully listen to my voice and keep my covenant, you will be a treasured possession for me out of all the peoples, for all the earth is mine,*

31 " ‘And I will set your boundary from the Red Sea* and up to the sea of the Philistines and from the desert up to the river,* because I will give the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you will drive them out from before you. 32 You will not make a covenant with them and with their gods.

Covenant Stipulations

10 And he said, "Look, I am about to make a covenant. In front of all your people I will do wonders that have not been created on all the earth and among all the nations, and all the people among whom you are will see Yahweh’s work, because what I am about to do with you will be awesome.

The Shining Face of Moses

28 And he was there with Yahweh forty days and forty nights. He ate no food and drank no water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the ten words.

The Shining Face of Moses

28 And he was there with Yahweh forty days and forty nights. He ate no food and drank no water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the ten words.

13 And he declared to you his covenant, the Ten Commandments,* which he charged you to observe,* and he wrote them on the two tablets of stone.

9 So know that Yahweh your God, he is God, the trustworthy God, maintaining his* covenant and his* loyal love with those who love him and with those who keep his commandments to a thousand generations,*

14 And it happened, when the people set out from their tents to cross over the Jordan, the priests carrying the ark of the covenant were ahead of the people.*15 When those carrying the ark came up to the Jordan, and the priests carrying the ark dipped their feet in the edge of the water (the Jordan was flowing over its banks during all the days of harvest), 16 the waters flowing down from above stood still; they stood up in one heap very far from Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan, while the waters flowing down to the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea,* were completely cut off;* and the people crossed over opposite Jericho. 17 And the priests carrying the ark of the covenant of Yahweh stood firmly on the dry land in the middle of the Jordan while all Israel crossed on dry ground, until all the nation finished crossing the Jordan.

17 Then Jehoiada made* a covenant between Yahweh and the king and the people, that the people should be as a people for Yahweh, and also a covenant between the king and the people.

3 Then the king stood by the pillar, and he made* a covenant before Yahweh, to go after Yahweh and to keep his commands and his warnings and his statutes, with all of his heart and with his all of his soul, to keep the words of this covenant written on this scroll. Then all of the people joined* in the covenant.

6 So King Joram went out on that day from Samaria, and he mustered all of Israel. 7 He went and sent a message to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, saying, "The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me against Moab for the battle?" And he said, "I will go up. I am like you;* my people are like your people;* my horses are like your horses."*

16 So Jonathan made a covenant* with the house of David, saying, "May Yahweh call the enemies of David to account."*17 And Jonathan again made David swear an oath, because he loved him; for with the love of his soul he loved him.

10 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 11 "Phinehas son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, turned away my anger from among the Israelites* when he was jealous with my jealousy in their midst, and I did not destroy the Israelites* with my jealousy. 12 Therefore say, ‘Behold, I am giving to him my covenant of peace, 13 and it will be for him and his offspring* after him a covenant of an eternal priesthood because he was jealous for his God and made atonement for the Israelites.’ "*

89 And when Moses came to the tent of assembly to speak with him,* he would hear the voice speaking to him from the atonement cover,* which is on the ark of the testimony, from between the two cherubim, and he would speak to him.

Aaron’s Staff Is Chosen

1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "Speak to the Israelites,* and take from among them twelve staffs, a staff from each family* from among all their leaders according to their families’ households. Write the name of each man on his staff, 3 and the name of Aaron on the staff of Levi, because one staff is for the head of each of their families.*4 You must then put them in the tent of assembly before* the testimony* where I meet with you. 5 And it will happen, the man whom I will choose, his staff will blossom, and so I will rid from upon myself the grumblings of the Israelites,* who are grumbling against you." 6 Moses spoke to the Israelites,* and all their leaders gave him a staff for each leader, one from each of their families,* twelve staffs, and the staff of Aaron was in the midst of their tribes. 7 And Moses put the staffs before Yahweh in the tent of testimony.

8 Then the next day, Moses went into the tent of the testimony, and behold the staff of Aaron for the house of Levi blossomed and put forth a flower and produced blossoms, and it produced almonds. 9 Then Moses brought out to all the Israelites* all the staffs before the presence of Yahweh, and they saw, and each man took his staff. 10 And Yahweh said to Moses, "Bring back the staff of Aaron before the testimony* as a guard and sign for the children of rebellion, and let them finish their grumblings before me and not die." 11 So Moses did; just as Yahweh commanded him, so he did.

Ehud

12 And again the Israelites* did evil in the eyes of Yahweh. So Yahweh strengthened Eglon king of Moab against Israel, because they did evil in the eyes of Yahweh. 13 He gathered to himself the Ammonites and Amalekites,* and he went and defeated Israel, and they took possession of the city of palms.

31 Look, the days are coming," declares* Yahweh, "and I will make* a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, 32 not like the covenant that I made* with their ancestors* on the day of my grasping them* by their hand, bringing them out from the land of Egypt, my covenant that they themselves broke, though I myself was a master over them," declares* Yahweh. 33 "But this is the covenant that I will make* with the house of Israel after those days," declares* Yahweh: "I will put my law in their inward parts and on their hearts* I will write it, and I will be to them God, and they themselves will be to me people. 34 And they will no longer teach each one his neighbor, or each one his brother, saying,* ‘Know Yahweh,’ for all of them will know me, from their smallest* and up to their greatest,"* declares* Yahweh, "for I will forgive their iniquity and their sin I will no longer remember."

20 "Thus says Yahweh: ‘If you could break my covenant with the day, and my covenant with the night, so that day and night would not come at their time, 21 then my covenant could be broken with David my servant, from having* a son who could rule on his throne, and with the Levites, the priests, my ministers.

15 And because of this, he is the mediator of a new covenant, in order that, because* a death has taken place for the redemption of transgressions committed during the first covenant, those who are the called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

15 And because of this, he is the mediator of a new covenant, in order that, because* a death has taken place for the redemption of transgressions committed during the first covenant, those who are the called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

6 But now he has attained a more excellent ministry, by as much as he is also mediator of a better covenant which has been enacted upon better promises.

Benediction

20 Now may the God of peace, who brought up from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, 21 equip you with every good thing to do his will, carrying out in us what is pleasing before him through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever*.* Amen.

6 who also makes us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter, but of the Spirit, for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

24 which things are spoken allegorically, for these women are two covenants, one from Mount Sinai, bearing children for slavery, who is Hagar. 25 Now Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is a slave with her children. 26 But the Jerusalem above is free, which is our mother.

17 But the loyal love of Yahweh

is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him,

and his righteousness to their children’s children,

18 to those who keep his covenant

and remember to do his precepts.

21 "And as for me, this is my covenant with them, says Yahweh:

my spirit that is upon you,

and my words that I have placed in your mouth

shall not depart from your mouth,

or* from the mouths* of your children,*

or* from the mouths* of your children’s children,"*

says Yahweh, "from now on and forever."

25 And I will make them a covenant of peace, and I will put an end to wild animals* from the land, and they will dwell in the desert safely,* and they will sleep in the forest.

8 Yahweh is the one going before you;* he will be with you, and he will not leave you alone, and he will not forsake you; you shall not be afraid, and you shall not be discouraged."

27 And he will make a strong covenant with the many for one week, but in half of the week he will let cease sacrifice and offering and in its place* a desolating abomination comes even until the determined complete destruction* is poured out on the desolator."

5 "Then the king of the south will grow strong and also one of his officials,* and he will grow stronger than him* and he will rule a dominion greater than his dominion.*6 And at the end of some years they will make an alliance, and the daughter of the king of the south will come to the king of the north to make a peace treaty, but she will not retain her position of power,* and his offspring* will not endure, and she will be given up, she and her attendants and her child supporting her, in those times.*

16 And the one coming to him will act according to* his pleasure, and there is no one who will stand* before him,* and he will stand in the beautiful land* and complete destruction will be in his power. 17 And he will set his face to come with the authority of his whole kingdom and will form an agreement;* and he will act,* and the daughter of women he will give to him to destroy it,* but the ploy will not succeed and she will not support him.*

Job’s Final Defense Continued

1 "I made a covenant with my eyes,

so* how could I look closely upon a virgin?

16 in order to deliver you from a strange woman,

from a foreign woman who flatters* with her sayings,

17 she who forsakes the partner of her youth

and has forgotten the covenant of her God,
