Around

Get up and walk around the land, through its length and breadth, for I will give it to you.”

Esau, however, ran to him and embraced him, threw his arms around his neck, and kissed him. And they both wept.

We were binding sheaves of grain in the field, and suddenly my sheaf rose and stood upright, while your sheaves gathered around and bowed down to mine.”

Then Jacob tore his clothes, put sackcloth around his waist, and mourned for his son many days.

And as she was giving birth, one of them put out his hand; so the midwife took a scarlet thread and tied it around his wrist. “This one came out first,” she announced.

Then his brother came out with the scarlet thread around his wrist, and he was named Zerah.

Then Pharaoh removed the signet ring from his finger, put it on Joseph’s finger, clothed him in garments of fine linen, and placed a gold chain around his neck.

During those seven years, Joseph collected all the excess food in the land of Egypt and stored it in the cities. In every city he laid up the food from the fields around it.

Then Joseph threw his arms around his brother Benjamin and wept, and Benjamin wept as they embraced.

Then Jacob called for his sons and said, “Gather around so that I can tell you what will happen to you in the days to come:

Instead, Pharaoh turned around, went into his palace, and did not take any of this to heart.

So all the Egyptians dug around the Nile for water to drink, because they could not drink the water from the river.

So God led the people around by the way of the wilderness toward the Red Sea. And the Israelites left the land of Egypt arrayed for battle.

That evening quail came and covered the camp, and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp.

The next day Moses took his seat to judge the people, and they stood around him from morning until evening.

When his father-in-law saw all that Moses was doing for the people, he asked, “What is this that you are doing for the people? Why do you sit alone as judge, with all the people standing around you from morning till evening?”

And you are to set up a boundary for the people around the mountain and tell them, ‘Be careful not to go up on the mountain or touch its base. Whoever touches the mountain shall surely be put to death.

But Moses said to the LORD, “The people cannot come up Mount Sinai, for You solemnly warned us, ‘Put a boundary around the mountain and set it apart as holy.’”

…then the one who struck him shall go unpunished, as long as the other can get up and walk around outside with his staff. Nevertheless, he must compensate the man for his lost work and see that he is completely healed.

Overlay it with pure gold both inside and out, and make a gold molding around it.

Overlay it with pure gold and make a gold molding around it.

And make a rim around it a handbreadth wide and put a gold molding on the rim.

All the posts around the courtyard shall have silver bands, silver hooks, and bronze bases.

…with an opening at its top in the center. Around the opening shall be a woven collar with an opening like that of a garment, so that it will not tear.

Make pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn all the way around the lower hem, with gold bells between them,

…alternating the gold bells and pomegranates around the lower hem of the robe.

Wrap the sashes around Aaron and his sons and tie headbands on them. The priesthood shall be theirs by a permanent statute. In this way you are to ordain Aaron and his sons.

Overlay with pure gold the top and all the sides and horns, and make a molding of gold around it.

Now when the people saw that Moses was delayed in coming down from the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said, “Come, make us gods who will go before us. As for this Moses who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him!”

So Moses stood at the entrance to the camp and said, “Whoever is for the LORD, come to me.” And all the Levites gathered around him.

He overlaid it with pure gold, both inside and out, and made a gold molding around it.

He overlaid it with pure gold and made a gold molding around it.

And he made a rim around it a handbreadth wide and put a gold molding on the rim.

And he overlaid with pure gold the top and all the sides and horns. Then he made a molding of gold around it.

All the curtains around the courtyard were made of finely spun linen.

…with an opening in the center of the robe like that of a garment, with a collar around the opening so that it would not tear.

They also made bells of pure gold and attached them around the hem between the pomegranates,

…alternating the bells and pomegranates around the lower hem of the robe to be worn for ministry, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

And Moses set up the courtyard around the tabernacle and the altar, and he hung the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard. So Moses finished the work.

He put the tunic on Aaron, tied the sash around him, clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod on him. He tied the woven band of the ephod around him and fastened it to him.

He put the tunic on Aaron, tied the sash around him, clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod on him. He tied the woven band of the ephod around him and fastened it to him.

Then Moses presented Aaron’s sons, put tunics on them, wrapped sashes around them, and tied headbands on them, just as the LORD had commanded him.

He is to wear the sacred linen tunic, with linen undergarments. He must tie a linen sash around him and put on the linen turban. These are holy garments, and he must bathe himself with water before he wears them.

But houses in villages with no walls around them are to be considered as open fields. They may be redeemed, and they shall be released in the Jubilee.

But the open pastureland around their cities may not be sold, for this is their permanent possession.

Your menservants and maidservants shall come from the nations around you, from whom you may purchase them.

Instead, you are to appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the Testimony, all its furnishings, and everything in it. They shall carry the tabernacle and all its articles, care for it, and camp around it.

But the Levites are to camp around the tabernacle of the Testimony and watch over it, so that no wrath will fall on the congregation of Israel. So the Levites are responsible for the tabernacle of the Testimony.”

“The Israelites are to camp around the Tent of Meeting at a distance from it, each man under his standard, with the banners of his family.

The people walked around and gathered it, ground it on a handmill or crushed it in a mortar, then boiled it in a cooking pot or shaped it into cakes. It tasted like pastry baked with fine oil.

So Moses went out and relayed to the people the words of the LORD, and he gathered seventy of the elders of the people and had them stand around the tent.

Now a wind sent by the LORD came up, drove in quail from the sea, and brought them near the camp, about two cubits above the surface of the ground, for a day’s journey in every direction around the camp.

All that day and night, and all the next day, the people stayed up gathering the quail. No one gathered less than ten homers, and they spread them out all around the camp.

At their cries, all the people of Israel who were around them fled, saying, “The earth may swallow us too!”

So the Moabites said to the elders of Midian, “This horde will devour everything around us, as an ox licks up the grass of the field.” Since Balak son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time,

“Command the Israelites to give, from the inheritance they will possess, cities for the Levites to live in and pasturelands around the cities.

The pasturelands around the cities you are to give the Levites will extend a thousand cubits from the wall on every side.

Then we turned back and headed for the wilderness by way of the Red Sea, as the LORD had instructed me, and for many days we wandered around Mount Seir.

“You have been wandering around this hill country long enough; turn to the north

Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples around you.

The LORD your God will drive out these nations before you little by little. You will not be enabled to eliminate them all at once, or the wild animals would multiply around you.

When you cross the Jordan and live in the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, and He gives you rest from all the enemies around you and you dwell securely,

…the gods of the peoples around you, whether near or far, whether from one end of the earth or the other),

When you enter the land that the LORD your God is giving you and have taken possession of it and settled in it, and you say, “Let us set a king over us like all the nations around us,”

If you build a new house, you are to construct a railing around your roof, so that you do not bring bloodguilt on your house if someone falls from it.

When the LORD your God gives you rest from the enemies around you in the land that He is giving you to possess as an inheritance, you are to blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven. Do not forget!

March around the city with all the men of war, circling the city one time. Do this for six days.

Have seven priests carry seven rams’ horns in front of the ark. Then on the seventh day, march around the city seven times, while the priests blow the horns.

And he told the people, “Advance and march around the city, with the armed troops going ahead of the ark of the LORD.”

So he had the ark of the LORD carried around the city, circling it once. And the people returned to the camp and spent the night there.

So on the second day they marched around the city once and returned to the camp. They did this for six days.

Then on the seventh day, they got up at dawn and marched around the city seven times in the same manner. That was the only day they circled the city seven times.

After the seventh time around, the priests blew the horns, and Joshua commanded the people, “Shout! For the LORD has given you the city!

When Joshua and all Israel saw that the men in ambush had captured the city and that smoke was rising from it, they turned around and struck down the men of Ai.

From the hilltop the border curved to the spring of the Waters of Nephtoah, proceeded to the cities of Mount Ephron, and then bent around toward Baalah (that is, Kiriath-jearim).

And the western border was the coastline of the Great Sea. These are the boundaries around the clans of the descendants of Judah.

On the east side the border was the Jordan. These were the borders around the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Benjamin.

From there it crossed eastward to Gath-hepher and to Eth-kazin; it extended to Rimmon and curved around toward Neah.

Then the border circled around the north side of Neah to Hannathon and ended at the Valley of Iphtah-el.

But they had given the fields and villages around the city to Caleb son of Jephunneh as his possession.

A long time after the LORD had given Israel rest from all the enemies around them, when Joshua was old and well along in years,

Thus they forsook the LORD, the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt, and they followed after various gods of the peoples around them. They bowed down to them and provoked the LORD to anger,

Then the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He delivered them into the hands of those who plundered them. He sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, whom they were no longer able to resist.

When I and all who are with me blow our horns, then you are also to blow your horns from all around the camp and shout, ‘For the LORD and for Gideon!’”

Each Israelite took his position around the camp, and the entire Midianite army fled, crying out as they ran.

So Jephthah fled from his brothers and settled in the land of Tob, where worthless men gathered around him and traveled with him.

So Israel set up an ambush around Gibeah.

And all who were distressed or indebted or discontented rallied around him, and he became their leader. About four hundred men were with him.

Soon Saul learned that David and his men had been discovered. At that time Saul was sitting under the tamarisk tree on the hill at Gibeah, with his spear in hand and all his servants standing around him.

So David’s men turned around and went back, and they relayed to him all these words.

They were a wall around us, both day and night, the whole time we were herding our sheep near them.

Then David set out and went to the place where Saul had camped. He saw the place where Saul and Abner son of Ner, the general of his army, had lain down. Saul was lying inside the inner circle of the camp, with the troops camped around him.

That night David and Abishai came to the troops, and Saul was lying there asleep in the inner circle of the camp, with his spear stuck in the ground by his head. And Abner and the troops were lying around him.

This thing you have done is not good. As surely as the LORD lives, all of you deserve to die, since you did not protect your lord, the LORD’s anointed. Now look around. Where are the king’s spear and water jug that were by his head?”

When he turned around and saw me, he called out to me, and I answered, ‘Here I am!’

So David took up residence in the fortress and called it the City of David. He built it up all the way around, from the supporting terraces inward.

So David inquired of the LORD, who answered, “Do not march straight up, but circle around behind them and attack them in front of the balsam trees.

After the king had settled into his palace and the LORD had given him rest from all his enemies around him,

One evening David got up from his bed and strolled around on the roof of the palace. And from the roof he saw a woman bathing—a very beautiful woman.

In fact, you arrived only yesterday; should I make you wander around with us today while I do not know where I am going? Go back and take your brothers with you. May the LORD show you loving devotion and faithfulness.”
