…he must order that the contaminated stones be pulled out and thrown into an unclean place outside the city.

If the mildew reappears in the house after the stones have been torn out and the house has been scraped and replastered,

So Moses told the people, “Arm some of your men for war, that they may go against the Midianites and execute the LORD’s vengeance on them.

So a thousand men were recruited from each tribe of Israel—twelve thousand armed for war.

But we will arm ourselves and be ready to go ahead of the Israelites until we have brought them into their place. Meanwhile, our little ones will remain in the fortified cities for protection from the inhabitants of the land.

Moses replied, “If you will do this—if you will arm yourselves before the LORD for battle,

…and if every one of your armed men crosses the Jordan before the LORD, until He has driven His enemies out before Him,

But your servants are equipped for war, and every man will cross over to the battle before the LORD, just as our lord says.”

And Moses said to them, “If the Gadites and Reubenites cross the Jordan with you, with every man armed for battle before the LORD, and the land is subdued before you, then you are to give them the land of Gilead as a possession.

But if they do not arm themselves and go across with you, then they must accept their possession among you in the land of Canaan.”

We will cross over into the land of Canaan armed before the LORD, that we may have our inheritance on this side of the Jordan.”

At that time I commanded you: “The LORD your God has given you this land to possess. All your men of valor are to cross over, armed for battle, ahead of your brothers, the Israelites.

…his brother’s widow shall go up to him in the presence of the elders, remove his sandal, spit in his face, and declare, “This is what is done to the man who will not maintain his brother’s line.”

And his family name in Israel will be called “The House of the Unsandaled.”

About 40,000 troops armed for battle crossed over before the LORD into the plains of Jericho.

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

While the horns continued to sound, the armed troops marched ahead of the priests who blew the horns, and the rear guard followed the ark.

And the seven priests carrying seven rams’ horns kept marching ahead of the ark of the LORD and blowing the horns. The armed troops went in front of them and the rear guard followed the ark of the LORD, while the horns kept sounding.

He brought me out into the open; He rescued me because He delighted in me.

Now these are the numbers of men armed for battle who came to David at Hebron to turn Saul’s kingdom over to him, in accordance with the word of the LORD:

From Judah: 6,800 armed troops bearing shields and spears.

…and next to him, Jehozabad, and with him 180,000 armed for battle.

Then Jehoshaphat consulted with the people and appointed those who would sing to the LORD and praise the splendor of His holiness. As they went out before the army, they were singing: “Give thanks to the LORD, for His loving devotion endures forever.”

So the armed men left the captives and the plunder before the leaders and all the assembly.

God rescues the afflicted by their affliction and opens their ears in oppression.

Turn, O LORD, and deliver my soul; save me because of Your loving devotion.

…if I have rewarded my ally with evil, if I have plundered my foe without cause,

He brought me out into the open; He rescued me because He delighted in me.

The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him, and he delivers them.

Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor Me.”

Respond and save us with Your right hand, that Your beloved may be delivered.

You called out in distress, and I rescued you; I answered you from the cloud of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah

When he calls out to Me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him and honor him.

Respond and save us with Your right hand, that Your beloved may be delivered.

For You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.

Look upon my affliction and rescue me, for I have not forgotten Your law.

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Rescue me, O LORD, from evil men. Protect me from men of violence,

The righteous man is delivered from trouble; in his place the wicked man goes in.

With his mouth the ungodly man destroys his neighbor, but through knowledge the righteous are rescued.

Heshbon and Elealeh cry out; their voices are heard as far as Jahaz. Therefore the soldiers of Moab cry out; their souls tremble within.

…the LORD had already spoken through Isaiah son of Amoz, saying, “Go, remove the sackcloth from your waist and the sandals from your feet.” And Isaiah did so, walking around naked and barefoot.

The LORD will always guide you; He will satisfy you in a sun-scorched land and strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.

Even jackals offer their breasts to nurse their young, but the daughter of my people has become cruel, like an ostrich in the wilderness.

They go with their flocks and herds to seek the LORD, but they do not find Him; He has withdrawn Himself from them.
