Judges
21
Jdg
21:1 Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpah, saying, There shall
not any of us give his daughter to Benjamin as wife.
Jdg
21:2 The people came to Bethel, and sat there until evening before
God, and lifted up their voices, and wept sore.
Jdg
21:3 They said, Yahweh, the God of Israel, why has this happened in
Israel, that there should be today one tribe lacking in Israel?
Jdg
21:4 It happened on the next day that the people rose early, and
built there an altar, and offered burnt offerings and peace
offerings.
Jdg
21:5 The children of Israel said, Who is there among all the tribes
of Israel who didn't come up in the assembly to Yahweh? For they had
made a great oath concerning him who didn't come up to Yahweh to
Mizpah, saying, He shall surely be put to death.
Jdg
21:6 The children of Israel grieved for Benjamin their brother, and
said, There is one tribe cut off from Israel this day.
Jdg
21:7 How shall we do for wives for those who remain, seeing we have
sworn by Yahweh that we will not give them of our daughters to wives?
Jdg
21:8 They said, What one is there of the tribes of Israel who didn't
come up to Yahweh to Mizpah? Behold, there came none to the camp from
Jabesh Gilead to the assembly.
Jdg
21:9 For when the people were numbered, behold, there were none of
the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead there.
Jdg
21:10 The congregation sent there twelve thousand men of the most
valiant, and commanded them, saying, Go and strike the inhabitants of
Jabesh Gilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the
little ones.
Jdg
21:11 This is the thing that you shall do: you shall utterly destroy
every male, and every woman who has lain by man.
Jdg
21:12 They found among the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead four hundred
young virgins, who had not known man by lying with him; and they
brought them to the camp to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.
Jdg
21:13 The whole congregation sent and spoke to the children of
Benjamin who were in the rock of Rimmon, and proclaimed peace to
them.
Jdg
21:14 Benjamin returned at that time; and they gave them the women
whom they had saved alive of the women of Jabesh Gilead: and yet so
they weren't enough for them.
Jdg
21:15 The people grieved for Benjamin, because that Yahweh had made
a breach in the tribes of Israel.
Jdg
21:16 Then the elders of the congregation said, How shall we do for
wives for those who remain, seeing the women are destroyed out of
Benjamin?
Jdg
21:17 They said, There must be an inheritance for those who are
escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe not be blotted out from Israel.
Jdg
21:18 However we may not give them wives of our daughters, for the
children of Israel had sworn, saying, Cursed be he who gives a wife
to Benjamin.
Jdg
21:19 They said, Behold, there is a feast of Yahweh from year to
year in Shiloh, which is on the north of Bethel, on the east side of
the highway that goes up from Bethel to Shechem, and on the south of
Lebonah.
Jdg
21:20 They commanded the children of Benjamin, saying, Go and lie in
wait in the vineyards,
Jdg
21:21 and see, and behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to
dance in the dances, then come out of the vineyards, and each man
catch his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of
Benjamin.
Jdg
21:22 It shall be, when their fathers or their brothers come to
complain to us, that we will say to them, Grant them graciously to
us, because we didn't take for each man his wife in battle, neither
did you give them to them, else you would now be guilty.
Jdg
21:23 The children of Benjamin did so, and took them wives,
according to their number, of those who danced, whom they carried
off: and they went and returned to their inheritance, and built the
cities, and lived in them.
Jdg
21:24 The children of Israel departed there at that time, every man
to his tribe and to his family, and they went out from there every
man to his inheritance.
Jdg
21:25 In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that
which was right in his own eyes.

John 9
Joh 9:1 As he passed
by, he saw a man blind from birth.
Joh 9:2 His disciples
asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he
was born blind?"
Joh 9:3 Jesus answered,
"Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but, that the works
of God might be revealed in him.
Joh 9:4 I must work the
works of him who sent me, while it is day. The night is coming, when
no one can work.
Joh 9:5 While I am in
the world, I am the light of the world."
Joh 9:6 When he had
said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed
the blind man's eyes with the mud,
Joh 9:7 and said to
him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which means "Sent").
So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.
Joh 9:8 The neighbors
therefore, and those who saw that he was blind before, said, "Isn't
this he who sat and begged?"
Joh 9:9 Others were
saying, "It is he." Still others were saying, "He
looks like him." He said, "I am he."
Joh 9:10 They therefore
were asking him, "How were your eyes opened?"
Joh 9:11 He answered,
"A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me,
'Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash.' So I went away and washed, and
I received sight."
Joh 9:12 Then they
asked him, "Where is he?" He said, "I don't know."
Joh 9:13 They brought
him who had been blind to the Pharisees.
Joh 9:14 It was a
Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.
Joh 9:15 Again
therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. He
said to them, "He put mud on my eyes, I washed, and I see."
Joh 9:16 Some therefore
of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, because he
doesn't keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a man who
is a sinner do such signs?" There was division among them.
Joh 9:17 Therefore they
asked the blind man again, "What do you say about him, because
he opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet."
Joh 9:18 The Jews
therefore did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and
had received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had
received his sight,
Joh 9:19 and asked
them, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then
does he now see?"
Joh 9:20 His parents
answered them, "We know that this is our son, and that he was
born blind;
Joh 9:21 but how he now
sees, we don't know; or who opened his eyes, we don't know. He is of
age. Ask him. He will speak for himself."
Joh 9:22 His parents
said these things because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had
already agreed that if any man would confess him as Christ, he would
be put out of the synagogue.
Joh 9:23 Therefore his
parents said, "He is of age. Ask him."
Joh 9:24 So they called
the man who was blind a second time, and said to him, "Give
glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner."
Joh 9:25 He therefore
answered, "I don't know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know:
that though I was blind, now I see."
Joh 9:26 They said to
him again, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?"
Joh 9:27 He answered
them, "I told you already, and you didn't listen. Why do you
want to hear it again? You don't also want to become his disciples,
do you?"
Joh 9:28 They insulted
him and said, "You are his disciple, but we are disciples of
Moses.
Joh 9:29 We know that
God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we don't know where he
comes from."
Joh 9:30 The man
answered them, "How amazing! You don't know where he comes from,
yet he opened my eyes.
Joh 9:31 We know that
God doesn't listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshipper of God,
and does his will, he listens to him.
Joh 9:32 Since the
world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of
someone born blind.
Joh 9:33 If this man
were not from God, he could do nothing."
Joh 9:34 They answered
him, "You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?"
They threw him out.
Joh 9:35 Jesus heard
that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, "Do you
believe in the Son of God?"
Joh 9:36 He answered,
"Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?"
Joh 9:37 Jesus said to
him, "You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you."
Joh 9:38 He said,
"Lord, I believe!" and he worshiped him.
Joh 9:39 Jesus said, "I
came into this world for judgment, that those who don't see may see;
and that those who see may become blind."
Joh 9:40 Those of the
Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, "Are
we also blind?"
Joh 9:41 Jesus said to
them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you
say, 'We see.' Therefore your sin remains.
