Observed

One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to his own people and observed their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people.

Because the LORD kept a vigil that night to bring them out of the land of Egypt, this same night is to be a vigil to the LORD, to be observed by all the Israelites for the generations to come.

No such Passover had been observed from the days of the judges who had governed Israel through all the days of the kings of Israel and Judah.

But in the eighteenth year of Josiah’s reign, this Passover was observed to the LORD in Jerusalem.

He observed the daily requirement for offerings according to the commandment of Moses for Sabbaths, New Moons, and the three annual appointed feasts—the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles.

So they established a decree to circulate a proclamation throughout Israel, from Beersheba to Dan, that the people should come to keep the Passover of the LORD, the God of Israel, in Jerusalem. For they had not observed it in great numbers as prescribed.

The whole assembly agreed to observe seven more days, so they observed seven days with joy.

The Israelites who were present also observed the Passover at that time, as well as the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days.

No such Passover had been observed in Israel since the days of Samuel the prophet. None of the kings of Israel ever observed a Passover like the one that Josiah observed with the priests, the Levites, all Judah, the Israelites who were present, and the people of Jerusalem.

These days should be remembered and celebrated by every generation, family, province, and city, so that these days of Purim should not fail to be observed among the Jews, nor should the memory of them fade from their descendants.

As I have observed, those who plow iniquity and those who sow trouble reap the same.

Have you entered the storehouses of snow or observed the storehouses of hail,

The sea observed and fled; the Jordan turned back;

I observed and took it to heart; I looked and received instruction:

I said to myself, “Behold, I have grown and increased in wisdom beyond all those before me who were over Jerusalem, and my mind has observed a wealth of wisdom and knowledge.”

“You have observed correctly,” said the LORD, “for I am watching over My word to accomplish it.”

Even Simon himself believed and was baptized. He followed Philip closely and was astounded by the great signs and miracles he observed.

You, however, have observed my teaching, my conduct, my purpose, my faith, my patience, my love, my perseverance,

And as I observed, I heard an eagle flying overhead, calling in a loud voice, “Woe! Woe! Woe to those who dwell on the earth, because of the trumpet blasts about to be sounded by the remaining three angels!”
