Matthew Chapter 12
12:1At that time Yahshua went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.
12:2But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.
12:3But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;
12:4How he entered into the house of Elohim, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?
12:5Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
12:6But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.
12:7But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
12:8For the Son of man is Master even of the sabbath day.
12:9And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:
12:10And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.
12:11And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?
12:12How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
12:13Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.
12:14Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.
12:15But when Yahshua knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;
12:16And charged them that they should not make him known:
12:17That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
12:18Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.
12:19He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
12:20A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.
12:21And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
12:22Then was brought unto him one possessed with a demon, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.
12:23And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?
12:24But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out demons, but by Beelzebub the prince of the demons.
12:25And Yahshua knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
12:26And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
12:27And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
12:28But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of Yahweh, then the kingdom of Yahweh is come unto you.
12:29Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.
12:30He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
12:31Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven unto men.
12:32And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
12:33Either 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.
12:34O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
12:35A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
12:36But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
12:37For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
12:38Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
12:39But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
12:40For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
12:41The 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.
12:42The 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.
12:43When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
12:44Then 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.
12:45Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
12:46While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.
12:47Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
12:48But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
12:49And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
12:50For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
12:1At that time Yahshua went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.
12:2But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.
12:3But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;
12:4How he entered into the house of Elohim, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?
12:5Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?

Revelation Chapter 12
12:1And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
12:2And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
12:3And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
12:4And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
12:5And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto Elohim, and to his throne.
12:6And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of Elohim, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
12:7And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
12:8And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
12:9And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
12:10And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our Elohim, and the power of his Messiah: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our Elohim day and night.
12:11And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
12:12Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
12:13And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
12:14And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
12:15And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
12:16And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
12:17And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of Yahweh, and have the testimony of Yahshua Messiah.
12:1And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:

12:16And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
12:17And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of Yahweh, and have the testimony of Yahshua Messiah.

Genesis Chapter 13 & 14
13:1And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.
13:2And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
13:3And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai;
13:4Unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of Yahweh.
13:5And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
13:6And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.
13:7And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.
13:8And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren.
13:9Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.
13:10And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.
13:11Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.
13:12Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
13:13But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before Yahweh exceedingly.
13:14And Yahweh said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:
13:15For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
13:16And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.
13:17Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.
13:18Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto Yahweh.
13:1And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.
13:2And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
13:3And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai;
13:4Unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of Yahweh.
13:5And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
13:6And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.
13:7And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.
13:8And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren.
13:9Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.
13:10And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.
13:11Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.
13:12Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
13:13But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before Yahweh exceedingly.
13:14And Yahweh said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:
13:15For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
13:16And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.
13:17Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.
13:18Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto Yahweh.
Genesis Chapter 14
14:1And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations;
14:2That these made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar.
14:3All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea.
14:4Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
14:5And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
14:6And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto Elparan, which is by the wilderness.
14:7And they returned, and came to Enmishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt in Hazezontamar.
14:8And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (the same is Zoar;) and they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim;
14:9With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings with five.
14:10And the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the mountain.
14:11And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.
14:12And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
14:13And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram.
14:14And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan.
14:15And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.
14:16And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.
14:17And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's dale.
14:18And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high El.
14:19And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high El, possessor of heaven and earth:
14:20And blessed be the most high El, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.
14:21And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself.
14:22And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto Yahweh, the most high El, the possessor of heaven and earth,
14:23That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:
14:24Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.
14:1And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations;
14:2That these made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar.
14:3All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea.
