1 Chronicles 9:19

This is the day that Yahweh has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it!

One thing I have asked of Yahweh, that I will seek after: that I may dwell in Yahweh’s house all the days of my life, to see Yahweh’s beauty, and to inquire in his temple.

So I have seen you in the sanctuary, watching your power and your glory.

Hear my teaching, my people. Turn your ears to the words of my mouth.

I opened my mouth wide and panted, for I longed for your commandments.

For our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

In the Tent of Meeting, outside the veil which is before the covenant, Aaron and his sons shall keep it in order from evening to morning before Yahweh: it shall be a statute forever throughout their generations on the behalf of the children of Israel.

Remember the days of old. Consider the years of many generations. Ask your father, and he will show you; your elders, and they will tell you.

“If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on my holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, and the holy of Yahweh honorable; and honor it, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words,

choosing rather to share ill treatment with God’s people than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a time,

and that you may tell in the hearing of your son, and of your son’s son, what things I have done to Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that you may know that I am Yahweh.”

Outside of the veil of the Testimony, in the Tent of Meeting, Aaron shall keep it in order from evening to morning before Yahweh continually. It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations.

Moses said to Aaron, “Take your censer, put fire from the altar in it, lay incense on it, carry it quickly to the congregation, and make atonement for them; for wrath has gone out from Yahweh! The plague has begun.”

In the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the captains over hundreds of the Carites and of the guard, and brought them to him into Yahweh’s house; and he made a covenant with them, and made a covenant with them in Yahweh’s house, and showed them the king’s son.

Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, had the office of trust over the things that were baked in pans.

My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Yahweh, you have been favorable to your land. You have restored the fortunes of Jacob.

The room which faces toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the duty of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, who from among the sons of Levi come near to Yahweh to minister to him.”

Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.

You shall tell your son in that day, saying, ‘It is because of that which Yahweh did for me when I came out of Egypt.’

Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons, “Don’t let the hair of your heads go loose, and don’t tear your clothes, so that you don’t die, and so that he will not be angry with all the congregation; but let your brothers, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which Yahweh has kindled.

But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in its lid, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into Yahweh’s house; and the priests who kept the threshold put all the money that was brought into Yahweh’s house into it.

All these who were chosen to be gatekeepers in the thresholds were two hundred twelve. These were listed by genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer ordained in their office of trust.

So the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded: and they each took his men, those who were to come in on the Sabbath; with those who were to go out on the Sabbath; for Jehoiada the priest didn’t dismiss the shift.

Now after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah,

Let all the earth fear Yahweh. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

Come, you children, listen to me. I will teach you the fear of Yahweh.

Oh clap your hands, all you nations. Shout to God with the voice of triumph!

But it is good for me to come close to God. I have made the Lord Yahweh my refuge, that I may tell of all your works.

For the sake of the house of Yahweh our God, I will seek your good.

Indeed, he says, “It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel. I will also give you as a light to the nations, that you may be my salvation to the end of the earth.”

Awake, awake, put on strength, arm of Yahweh! Awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Isn’t it you who cut Rahab in pieces, who pierced the monster?

He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

After three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the middle of the teachers, both listening to them, and asking them questions.

I am no more worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your hired servants.” ’

that this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask in the future, saying, ‘What do you mean by these stones?’

“Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may count the money which is brought into Yahweh’s house, which the keepers of the threshold have gathered of the people.

We have heard with our ears, God; our fathers have told us what work you did in their days, in the days of old.

My heart overflows with a noble theme. I recite my verses for the king. My tongue is like the pen of a skillful writer.

Hear this, all you peoples. Listen, all you inhabitants of the world,

The Mighty One, God, Yahweh, speaks, and calls the earth from sunrise to sunset.

Yes, even when I am old and gray-haired, God, don’t forsake me, until I have declared your strength to the next generation, your might to everyone who is to come.

I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.

For from the rising of the sun even to its going down, my name is great among the nations, and in every place incense will be offered to my name, and a pure offering: for my name is great among the nations,” says Yahweh of Armies.

He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

All the city was moved and the people ran together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple. Immediately the doors were shut.

For behold, this same thing, that you were grieved in a godly way, what earnest care it worked in you. Yes, what defense, indignation, fear, longing, zeal, and vengeance! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be pure in the matter.

and you pay special attention to him who wears the fine clothing and say, “Sit here in a good place;” and you tell the poor man, “Stand there,” or “Sit by my footstool”

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. He who overcomes won’t be harmed by the second death.
