Joshua 6:15

seeing it is God who said, “Light will shine out of darkness,” who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

The entrance of your words gives light. It gives understanding to the simple.

I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify these things to you for the assemblies. I am the root and the offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”

Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path.

Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

My soul longs for the Lord more than watchmen long for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.

How you have fallen from heaven, shining one, son of the dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, who laid the nations low!

The Lord Yahweh has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with words him who is weary. He awakens morning by morning, he awakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.

The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. The light has shined on those who lived in the land of the shadow of death.

because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the dawn from on high will visit us,

and I will give him the morning star.

But the path of the righteous is like the dawning light that shines more and more until the perfect day.

Early in the morning, while it was still dark, he rose up and went out, and departed into a deserted place, and prayed there.

There were also women watching from afar, among whom were both Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;

Very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.

He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.

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.

The children of Israel brought a free will offering to Yahweh; every man and woman whose heart made them willing to bring for all the work, which Yahweh had commanded to be made by Moses.

On the eighth day, Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel;

“Speak to Aaron, and tell him, ‘When you light the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the lamp stand.’ ”

All of your men of war shall march around the city, going around the city once. You shall do this six days.

So he caused Yahweh’s ark to go around the city, circling it once. Then they came into the camp, and stayed in the camp.

The second day they marched around the city once, and returned into the camp. They did this six days.

They rose up in the morning early and worshiped Yahweh, then returned and came to their house to Ramah. Then Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and Yahweh remembered her.

The Philistine came near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.

The Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed seven hundred charioteers of the Syrians, and forty thousand horsemen, and struck Shobach the captain of their army, so that he died there.

They encamped opposite each other for seven days. So it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined; and the children of Israel killed one hundred thousand footmen of the Syrians in one day.

Abijah and his people killed them with a great slaughter, so five hundred thousand chosen men of Israel fell down slain.

For Pekah the son of Remaliah killed in Judah one hundred twenty thousand in one day, all of them valiant men, because they had forsaken Yahweh, the God of their fathers.

“Have you commanded the morning in your days, and caused the dawn to know its place,

Yahweh is King forever and ever! The nations will perish out of his land.

For you meet him with the blessings of goodness. You set a crown of fine gold on his head.

Yahweh will command his loving kindness in the daytime. In the night his song shall be with me: a prayer to the God of my life.

In God, I praise his word. In God, I put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?

Wake up, my glory! Wake up, lute and harp! I will wake up the dawn.

But to you, Yahweh, I have cried. In the morning, my prayer comes before you.

Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn.

Remember your word to your servant, because you gave me hope.

At midnight I will rise to give thanks to you, because of your righteous ordinances.

Those who fear you will see me and be glad, because I have put my hope in your word.

My soul faints for your salvation. I hope in your word.

I rise before dawn and cry for help. I put my hope in your words.

For the commandment is a lamp, and the law is light. Reproofs of instruction are the way of life,

My son, give me your heart; and let your eyes keep in my ways.

Until the day is cool, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be like a roe or a young deer on the mountains of Bether.

Until the day is cool, and the shadows flee away, I will go to the mountain of myrrh, to the hill of frankincense.

Turn to the law and to the covenant! If they don’t speak according to this word, surely there is no morning for them.

Then Yahweh’s angel went out and struck one hundred and eighty-five thousand men in the camp of the Assyrians. When men arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies.

There were windows in it and in its arches all around, like those windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the width twenty-five cubits.

Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste to the den of lions.

Let’s acknowledge Yahweh. Let’s press on to know Yahweh. As surely as the sun rises, Yahweh will appear. He will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain that waters the earth.”

Yahweh’s word which came to Zephaniah, the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah, the son of Amon, king of Judah.

But to you who fear my name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in its wings. You will go out, and leap like calves of the stall.

They, having heard the king, went their way; and behold, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, until it came and stood over where the young child was.

Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of Joses, saw where he was laid.

Also, certain women of our company amazed us, having arrived early at the tomb;

“You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me.

Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”

that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality, from which if you keep yourselves, it will be well with you. Farewell.”

Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.

However, if you fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well.

Concerning this salvation, the prophets sought and searched diligently. They prophesied of the grace that would come to you,

but the Lord’s word endures forever.” This is the word of Good News which was preached to you.

We have the more sure word of prophecy; and you do well that you heed it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns, and the morning star arises in your hearts:

He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who doesn’t believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning his Son.

They have testified about your love before the assembly. You will do well to send them forward on their journey in a way worthy of God,

With my soul I have desired you in the night. Yes, with my spirit within me I will seek you earnestly; for when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.

in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.

and that our Good News came to you not in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and with much assurance. You know what kind of men we showed ourselves to be among you for your sake.
