| REFERENCE | SCRIPTURE HARD TO UNDERSTAND (QUESTION) |
| Genesis 1:28, 9:1 | [1:28] And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. [9:1] And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. |
| Genesis 2:15-17 | [2:15] And the LORD God took the man , and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. [2:16] And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: [2:17] But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil , thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. (Note that this commandment was only to Adam, for Eve may not have even yet been created. Adam would have had to pass this commandment on to Eve. Also, note that God did not say to NOT eat of the tree of life !) |
| Genesis 3:3 | But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it , lest ye die. (Nowhere do I find in scripture that Adam and Eve were told NOT to touch it. God said in [Genesis 2:17] But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it : for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. ) |
| Genesis 3:22 | And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: (In the Bible, it is never said that God told Adam not to eat of the tree of life .) |
| Genesis 4:4 | [4:3] And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. [4:4] And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: (Why did the Lord have respect unto Able's offering of the flock and not also unto Cain's offering of the fruit of the ground? It may be because the Lord had already told everyone to offer an offering from the flock, thus showing all that they should look forward to the offering of Himself by Jesus, the Lamb of God.) |
| Genesis 11:27, 12:5, 14:14-16 | [11:27] Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot . [12:5] And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son , and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came. [14:14] And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan. [14:15] And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus. [14:16] And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot , and his goods, and the women also, and the people. (According to Genesis 11:27. Lot was Abraham's nephew.) |
| Genesis 14:12, 14, 16 | [14:12] And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son , who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed. [14:14] And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan. [14:16] And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people. |
| Genesis 15:13, Exodus 12:40-41, Acts 7:6, Galatians 3:17 | [Genesis 15:13] And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years ; [Exodus 12:40] Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years . [12:41] And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years , even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt. [Acts 7:6] And God spake on this wise, That his seed should sojourn in a strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat them evil four hundred years . [Galatians 3:17] And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. |
| Genesis 19:1, Revelation 19:10 | [Genesis 19:1] And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground; [Revelation 19:10] And I fell at his feet to worship him . And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. (Lot was not chided for doing obeisance to the 2 angels in Genesis 19, but John was chided for doing obeisance to the angel in Revelation 19. Perhaps one of the "angels" with Lot may have been God's Son Jesus.) |
| Genesis 20:4-6 | [20:4] But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, LORD, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation? [20:5] Said he not unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this. [20:6] And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her. |
| Genesis 22:1, James 1:13-14 | [Genesis 22:1] And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham , and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am. [James 1:13] Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man : [1:14] But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. |
| Genesis 23:16-20, 34:18-19, Acts 7:15-16 | [Genesis 23:16] And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver, which he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant. [23:17] And the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and the cave which was therein, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all the borders round about, were made sure [23:18] Unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city. [23:19] And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre: the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan. [23:20] And the field, and the cave that is therein, were made sure unto Abraham for a possession of a buryingplace by the sons of Heth. [34:18] And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son. |
| See above | [34:19] And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter: and he was more honourable than all the house of his father. [Acts 7:15] So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers, [7:16] And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor the father of Sychem. |
| Genesis 24:48 | And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter unto his son. (Why is Rebekah called Abraham's brother's daughter, rather than Abrahams' brother's granddaughter? Rebekah was Nahor's {Abraham's brother's} granddaugther through Betheul) |
| Genesis 26:34, 28:9, 36:2-3 | [26:34] And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite: [28:9] Then went Esau unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham's son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife. [36:2] Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite; [36:3] And Bashemath Ishmael's daughter, sister of Nebajoth. (26:34 says that the daughter of Elon the Hittte was named Basemath, whereas 36:2 indicates that Elon had a daughter named Adah. Also, 36:3 calls Ishmael's daughter by the name of Basemath. Again, whereas 28:9 calls Ishmael's daughter (who sister was Nebajoth) by the name of Mahalath) |
| Genesis 28:10-12, Daniel 9:21 | [Genesis
28:10] And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward
Haran.
[28:11]
And he
lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun
was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his
pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.
[28:12]
And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the
top of it reached to heaven: and behold the
angels
of God ascending and descending
on it.
[Daniel 9:21]
Yea, whiles I was speaking
in prayer, even the man
Gabriel,
whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to
fly swiftly
, touched me about the time
of the evening oblation.
(Climbing on a ladder does
not seem to fit the mode of transportation God gave to angels. Still, this is
only a dream. Matthew Henry says that the angels on Jacob's ladder represent
the constant intercourse between heaven and earth.)
|
| Genesis 29:12, 11:26, 22:23 | [Genesis 29:12] And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother , and that he was Rebekah's son: and she ran and told her father. (Actually, Jacob was Rebekah's grandfather's brother's son , e.g., Rachel was Jacob's second cousin.) [Genesis 11:26] And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran. [Genesis 22:23] And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham's brother. |
| Genesis 35:19, 37:10 | [35:19] And Rachel died , and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem. [37:10] And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth? |
| Genesis 43:19-23 | [43:19] And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house , and they communed with him at the door of the house, [43:20] And said, O sir, we came indeed down at the first time to buy food: [43:21] And it came to pass, when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, every man's money was in the mouth of his sack , our money in full weight: and we have brought it again in our hand. [43:22] And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food: we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks. [43:23] And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks: I had your money . And he brought Simeon out unto them. |
| Genesis 48:12, 21 | [41:50] And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him. [47:28] And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years. [48:12] And Joseph brought them out from between his knees , and he bowed himself with his face to the earth. [48:21] And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die : but God shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers. (How old were Joseph's children?) |
| Genesis 50:5, 13 | [50:5] My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which I have digged for me in the land of Canaan , there shalt thou bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come again. [50:13] or his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field , for a possession of a burying-place, of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre. (Jacob's burial) |
| Exodus 3:22, Deuteronomy 22:5 | [Exodus 3:22] But every woman shall borrow of her neighbour, and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and ye shall put them upon your sons , and upon your daughters; and ye shall spoil the Egyptians. [Deuteronomy 22:5] The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man , neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God. |
| Exodus 4:20, 25 | [4:20] And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in his hand. [4:25] Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to me. (Apparently Moses headed back to Egypt with his wife Zipporah, and their two sons, Gershom and Eliezer. It looks as if then that Zipporah only circumcised one of their sons. Was the other son less than the age for circumcision, which would have been 8 days old?) |
| Exodus 22:28 | Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people. |
| Exodus 24:10-11, John 1:18, I john 4:12 | [Exodus 24:10] And they saw the God of Israel : and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness. [24:11] And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God , and did eat and drink. [John 1:18] No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. [I John 4:12] No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. |
| Exodus 33:11, 20, Numbers 12:7 | [33:11] And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face , as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle. [33:20] And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live . [Numbers 12:7] My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house. [12:8] With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently , and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold : wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses? |
| Numbers 20:24 | Aaron shall be gathered unto his people: for he shall not enter into the land which I have given unto the children of Israel, because ye rebelled against my word at the water of Meribah. (I do not understand the value of this punishment, as Aaron was soon to die and go to heaven, which surely was far better than even his life on this earth or the possible rewards that Aaron might receive on earth.) |
| Numbers 27:12-13 | [27:12] And the LORD said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given unto the children of Israel. [27:13] And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered. [27:14] For ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the water before their eyes: that is the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin. (I do not understand the value of this punishment, as Moses was soon to die and go to heaven, which surely was far better than even his life on this earth or the possible rewards that Moses might receive on earth.) |
| Deuteronomy 3:25-27 | [3:25] I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that is beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon. [3:26] But the LORD was wroth with me for your sakes, and would not hear me: and the LORD said unto me, Let it suffice thee; speak no more unto me of this matter. [3:27] Get thee up into the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold it with thine eyes: for thou shalt not go over this Jordan . (I do not understand the value of this punishment, as Moses was soon to die and go to heaven, which surely was far better than even his life on this earth or the possible rewards that Moses might receive on earth.) |
| Deuteronomy 31:2, 34:7 | [31:1] And Moses went and spake these words unto all Israel. [31:2] And he said unto them, I am an hundred and twenty years old this day; I can no more go out and come in: also the LORD hath said unto me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan. [34:7] And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated . |
| Joshua 24:19 | And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the LORD: for he is an holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins . |
| Judges 13:18 | And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is secret ? |
| I Samuel 6:23, 18:19, II Samuel 21:8 | [I Samuel 6:23] Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death. [18:19] But it came to pass at the time when Merab Saul's daughter should have been given to David, that she was given unto Adriel the Meholathite to wife. [II Samuel 21:8] But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bare unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite: (Seeing as Michal was childless, the 5 children she brought up must have belonged to Adriel & Merab.) |
| I Samuel 16:1-3 | [16:1] And the LORD said unto Samuel , How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons. [16:2] And Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul hear it, he will kill me. And the LORD said , Take an heifer with thee, and say, I am come to sacrifice to the LORD. [16:3] And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will shew thee what thou shalt do: and thou shalt anoint unto me him whom I name unto thee. |
| I Samuel 18:10 | And it came to pass on the morrow, that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as at other times: and there was a javelin in Saul's hand. |
| I Samuel 24:18 | And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself. (Saul did obeisance to Samuel) |
| I Samuel 28:11-16 | [28:11] Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel. [28:12] And when the woman saw Samuel , she cried with a loud voice: and the woman spake to Saul , saying, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul. [28:13] And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth. [28:14] And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground , and bowed himself. [28:15] And Samuel said to Saul , Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered , I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall do. |
| See above | [28:16] Then said Samuel , Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing the LORD is departed from thee, and is become thine enemy? [28:17] And the LORD hath done to him, as he spake by me: for the LORD hath rent the kingdom out of thine hand, and given it to thy neighbour, even to David: [28:18] Because thou obeyedst not the voice of the LORD, nor executedst his fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore hath the LORD done this thing unto thee this day. [28:19] Moreover the LORD will also deliver Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines: and to morrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me : the LORD also shall deliver the host of Israel into the hand of the Philistines. |
| II Samuel 2:8 | [2:8] But Abner the son of Ner , captain of Saul's host, took Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim; (Ishbosheth was Saul's son, but by whom?) [3:7] And Saul had a concubine, whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah: and Ishbosheth said to Abner, Wherefore hast thou gone in unto my father's concubine? (By the wording used here, apparently Rizpah was not Ishbosheth's mother) |
| II Samuel 8:4, I Chronicles 18:4 | [II Samuel 8:4] And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven hundred horsemen , and twenty thousand footmen: and David houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for an hundred chariots. [I Chronicles 18:4] And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen , and twenty thousand footmen: David also houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them an hundred chariots. |
| II Samuel 9:6, 19:24 | [9:6] Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan , the son of Saul, was come unto David, he fell on his face, and did reverence. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold thy servant! [19:24] And Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king, and had neither dressed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came again in peace. (Was Mephibosheth the son of Saul or Jonothan?) |
| II Samuel 15:7, 16, 18:33, 20:3, 21:1 | [15:7] And it came to pass after forty years, that Absalom said unto the king, I pray thee, let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed unto the LORD, in Hebron. Scripture says a number of places in the Bible that David reigned 40 years. What is this 40 years related to, in that it seems David is still king many years after this event. He flees from Jerusalem - [15:16] And the king went forth, and all his household after him. And the king left ten women, which were concubines, to keep the house. He mourns Absalom's death - [18:33] And the king was much moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept: and as he went, thus he said, O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! would God I had died for thee, O Absalom, my son, my son! He returns to Jerusalem - [20:3] And David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in ward, and fed them, but went not in unto them. So they were shut up unto the day of their death, living in widowhood. |
| See above | He suffers through 3 years of famine - [21:1] Then there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David enquired of the LORD. And the LORD answered, It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he slew the Gibeonites. |
| II Samuel 21:6-9 | [21:6] Let seven men of his sons be delivered unto us, and we will hang them up unto the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, whom the LORD did choose. And the king said, I will give them. [21:7] But the king spared Mephibosheth , the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the LORD's oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul. [21:8] But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bare unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite: [21:9] And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the hill before the LORD: and they fell all seven together , and were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, in the beginning of barley harvest. (Was Mephibosheth spared?) |
| II Samuel 24:9, I Chronicles 21:5 | [II Samuel 24:9] And Joab gave up the sum of the number of the people unto the king: and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men that drew the sword; and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men. [I Chronicles 21:5] And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people unto David. And all they of Israel were a thousand thousand and an hundred thousand men that drew sword: and Judah was four hundred threescore and ten thousand men that drew sword. (Were there 800,000 or 1.100,00 of Israel and were there 500,000 or 410,000 of Judah) |
| I Kings 5:10-11, II Chronicles 2:8-11 | [I Kings 5:10] So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir trees according to all his desire. [5:11] And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat for food to his household, and twenty measures of pure oil : thus gave Solomon to Hiram year by year. [II Chronicles 2:8] Send me also cedar trees, fir trees, and algum trees, out of Lebanon: for I know that thy servants can skill to cut timber in Lebanon; and, behold, my servants shall be with thy servants, [2:9] Even to prepare me timber in abundance: for the house which I am about to build shall be wonderful great. [2:10] And, behold, I will give to thy servants, the hewers that cut timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil . [2:11] Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, Because the LORD hath loved his people, he hath made thee king over them. |
| I Kings 5:15-16, II Chronicles 2:2 | [I Kings 5:15] And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand that bare burdens, and fourscore thousand hewers in the mountains; [5:16] Beside the chief of Solomon's officers which were over the work, three thousand and three hundred , which ruled over the people that wrought in the work. [II Chronicles 2:2] And Solomon told out threescore and ten thousand men to bear burdens, and fourscore thousand to hew in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred to oversee them. |
| I Kings 6:7, II Chronicles 3:9 | [I
Kings 6:7] And the house, when it was in building, was
built of stone made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was
neither hammer
nor axe nor any tool of
iron heard in the house, while it was in building.
[II Chronicles 3:9]
And the weight of the
nails
was fifty shekels of gold. And he
overlaid the upper chambers with gold. |
| I Kings 7:23, 26, II Chronicles 4:2, 5 | [I Kings 7:23] And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about. [7:26] And it was an hand breadth thick, and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies: it contained two thousand baths. [II Chronicles 4:2] Also he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and five cubits the height thereof; and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about. [4:5] And the thickness of it was an handbreadth, and the brim of it like the work of the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies; and it received and held three thousand baths. |
| I Kings 11:30-32, 12:21 | [11:30] And Ahijah caught the new garment that was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces : [11:31] And he said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces : for thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to thee: [11:32] (But he shall have one tribe for my servant David's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel:) [12:21] And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon. (There were 10 northern tribes in Israel under Jereboam, and 2 southern tribes in Judah/Jerusalem under Rehoboam.) |
| I Kings 14:31, 15:1-2, 8-10, II Chronicles 12:16, 13:1-2, 14:1, 15:16 | [I Kings 14:31] And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his stead. [15:1] Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat reigned Abijam over Judah. [15:2] Three years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Maachah , the daughter of Abishalom. [15:8] And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead. [15:9] And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Asa over Judah. [15:10] And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Maachah , the daughter of Abishalom. |
| See above | [II Chronicles 12:16] And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his stead. [13:1] Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah. [13:2] He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam. [14:1] So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his days the land was quiet ten years. [15:16] And also concerning Maachah the mother of Asa the king, he removed her from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove: and Asa cut down her idol, and stamped it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron. |
| See above | (Apparently Abijam and Abijah were the same person. According to I Kings 15:2 above, his mother was Maachah, but according to II Chronicles 13:2 above, his mother was Michaiah .) |
| I Kings 15:1-2, 8-10 | [15:1] Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Neba t reigned Abijam over Judah. [15:2] Three years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom . [15:8] And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead. [15:9] And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Asa over Judah. [15:10] And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom . (Who was Maachah?) |
| II Kings 8:26, II Chronicles 22:2 | [II Kings 8:26] Two and twenty years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri king of Israel. [II Chronicles 22:2] Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Athaliah the daughter of Omri. (Did Ahaziah live 23 or 43 years) |
| II Kings 13:21 | And it came to pass, as they were burying a man , that, behold, they spied a band of men; and they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha: and when the man was let down, and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived , and stood up on his feet. |
| I Chronicles 8:30-31, 9:36-37 | [ 8:29] And at Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon; whose wife's name was Maachah: [8:30] And his firstborn son Abdon, and Zur, and Kish, and Baal, and Nadab, [8:31] And Gedor, and Ahio, and Zacher. [9:35] And in Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon, Jehiel, whose wife's name was Maachah, [9:36] And his firstborn son Abdon, then Zur, and Kish, and Baal, and Ner, and Nadab, [9:37] And Gedor, and Ahio, and Zechariah, and Mikloth . (Ner & Mikloth are not included in the list of Jehiel & Maachah's sons in I Chronicles 8) |
| I Chronicles 28:7 | Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he be constant to do my commandments and my judgments , as at this day. (David said this, not God) |
| II Chronicles 2:3, 4:11, 16 | [2:3] And Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, As thou didst deal with David my father, and didst send him cedars to build him an house to dwell therein, even so deal with me. [4:11] And Huram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basons. And Huram finished the work that he was to make for king Solomon for the house of God; [4:16] The pots also, and the shovels, and the fleshhooks, and all their instruments, did Huram his father make to king Solomon for the house of the LORD of bright brass. (Who was this Huram? Was this the same person is all of these verses?) |
| II Chronicles 11:17-20, 12:16, 13:1-2 | [11:17] So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years: for three years they walked in the way of David and Solomon. [11:18] And Rehoboam took him Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David to wife, and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse; [11:19] Which bare him children; Jeush, and Shamariah, and Zaham. [11:20] And after her he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom; which bare him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith. [12:16] And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his stead. [13:1] Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah. [13:2] He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam. (Whose son was Abijah?) |
| Job 1:6, 2:1 | [1:6] Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. [2:1] Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD. |

| Psalms 34:20, John 19:33, I Corinthians 11:24 | [Psalms 34:20] He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken . [John 19:33] But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs : [I Corinthians 11:24] And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. |
| Psalms 69:14, 28 | [69:14] Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be
delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.

| Isaiah 63:15-17 | [63:15] Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me? are they restrained? [63:16] Doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, art our father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting. [63:17] O LORD, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, and hardened our heart from thy fear ? Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes of thine inheritance. |
| Daniel 6:2 | And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel was first: that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no damage. (Who were the other two presidents? Were they Shadrach, Meshach, or Abednego, or others?) |
| Daniel 6:7 | All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counsellors, and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions. (When it is said "All the presidents of the kingdom", I do not believe this included Daniel or, this was a lie.) |
| Daniel 10:1, Ezra 1:1, 2:1 | [Daniel
10:1] In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was
revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was
true, but the time appointed was long: and he understood the thing, and had
understanding of the vision.
[Ezra 1:1]
Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of
the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the
spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all
his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
[2:1]
Now these are the children of the province that went up out of
the captivity, of those which had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the
king of Babylon had carried away unto Babylon, and came again unto Jerusalem
and Judah, every one unto his city;
(Where were
Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azaria?)

| Ezekiel 44:1-3, 45:22 | [44:1] Then he brought me back the way of the
gate
of the outward sanctuary which looketh toward the
east;
and it was shut.
[44:2]
Then said the LORD unto me; This
gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it;
because the LORD, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it, therefore it
shall be shut.
[44:3]
It is for the prince
; the prince, he
shall sit in it to eat bread before the LORD;
he
shall enter by
the way of the porch of
that gate
, and
shall
go out
by the way of
the
same
.
(This gate is known
as the
Eastern Gate
. Note
the following verse:)
[45:22]
And upon that day shall the
prince
prepare for himself
and for all the people of the
land a bullock for
a sin offering
.
(Can this PRINCE be Jesus?)

Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? [6:31] Therefore take no thought , saying, What shall we eat ? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

| Matthew 8:28, Mark 5:2, Luke 8:27 | [Matthew 8:28] And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way. [Mark 5:2] And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, [Luke 8:27] And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man , which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs. |
| Matthew 11:11 | Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. |
| Matthew 21:1-9, Mark 11:1-10, Luke 19:29-38, John 12:12-19 | [21:1] And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples, [21:2] Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me. [21:3] And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them. [21:4] All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, [21:5] Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass. [21:6] And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them, [21:7] And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon. [21:8] And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way. |
| See above | [Matthew 21:9] And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest. [Mark 11:1] And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples, [11:2] And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him. [11:3] And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither. [11:4] And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him. [11:5] And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt? [11:6] And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go. |
| See above | [Mark 11:7] And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him. [11:8] And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way. [11:9] And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: [11:10] Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest. [Luke 19:29] And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, [19:30] Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither. [19:31] And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him. [19:32] And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them. |
| See above | [Luke 19:33] And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt? [19:34] And they said, The Lord hath need of him. [19:35] And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon. [19:36] And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way. [19:37] And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; [19:38] Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. |
| See above | [John 12:12] On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, [12:13] Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord. [12:14] And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written, [12:15] Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt. |
| Matthew 26:39 | And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me : nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. |
| Matthew 28:11-15 | [28:11] Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done. [28:12] And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers, [28:13] Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept . [28:14] And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you. [28:15] So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day. (The penalty for sleeping on duty was probably death) |
| Mark 1:24-26 | [1:24] Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us ? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. [1:25] And Jesus rebuked him , saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. [1:26] And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him. |
| Mark 14:35-36 | [14:35] And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him . [14:36] And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me : nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt. |
| Mark 14:54, John 21:7 | [Mark 14:51] And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him: [14:52] And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked. [14:53] And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes. [14:54] And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire. [John 21:5] Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No. [21:6] And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. [21:7] Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea. (It was cold out during the season of Jesus' crucifixion) |
| Mark 16:17-18 | [16:17] And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; [16:18] They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. (I do not believe these verses in Mark should be applied to today, to this time. I believe they were only applicable during the apostolic days for the initial spreading of the gospel. See [Matthew 10:1] And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. [10:8] Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. [Mark 6:7] And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits; [Luke 9:1] Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. |
| See above | [9:2] And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. Today, there is no exorcism, no speaking in tongues, no immunity to deadly serpents, no immunity to deadly poison, and no hands-on healing. See [Romans 12:6] Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; [12:7] Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; [12:8] Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness. In this passage from Romans 6, no such gifts are mentioned.) |
| Luke 11:4, James 1:13 | [Luke 11:4] And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation ; but deliver us from evil. [James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man : |
| Luke 22:42 | Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me : nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. |
| Luke 24:33-35 | [24:33] And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, [24:34] Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon . [24:35] And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread. (When did Jesus appear unto Simon? Was Simon one of the two people on the road to Emmaus? Wasn't Simon one of the eleven disciples?) |
| John 5:4 | For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had. |
| John 5:22, Hebrews 12:23-24 | [John 5:22] For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son : [Hebrews 12:23] To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all , and to the spirits of just men made perfect, [12:24] And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. |
| John 8:1-11 | [8:1] Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. [8:2] And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them. [8:3] And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, [8:4] They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. [8:5] Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? [8:6] This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. [8:7] So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. [8:8] And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. [8:9] And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. |
| See above | [8:10] When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? [8:11] She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. (The woman taken in adultery, but where is the adulterer?) |
| John 10:34-35 | [10:34] Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods ? [10:35] If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; |
| John 18:18, 21:7 | [18:18] And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold : and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself. [21:7] Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea . (It was cold, yet a few days later, Peter did not seem cold?) |
| John 19:25 | Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. (Where was Joseph, the husband of Mary?) |
| John 21:7, Mark 14:54 | [John 21:7] Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea . [Mark 14:54] And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire . ( The event in John 21:7 occurs probably in the spring, when it may have been cool. The event in Mark 14:54 occurs not many days thereafter. It seems slightly cool for what Peter did!) |
| Acts 4:12, Romans 10:10, II Corinthians 7:10, Ephesians 6:17, Philippians 2:12, II Thessalonians 2:13, II Timothy 3:15, I Peter 1:5, 9 | [Acts 4:12] Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. [Romans 10:10] For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation . [II Corinthians 7:10] For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. [Ephesians 6:17] And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: [Philippians 2:12] Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling . [II Thessalonians 2:13] But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: |
| See above | [II Timothy 3:15] And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. [I Peter 1:5] Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. [1:9] Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls . |
| Acts 7:45 | Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David; (Joshua??) |
| Acts 14:14 | Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out, (Barnabas an apostle?) |
| Acts 14:19-20 | [14:19] And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and, having stoned Paul , drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead . [14:20] Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up , and came into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe. [14:21] And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch, (Paul, at Lystra) |
| I Corinthians 15:4 | And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: (Who was this Cephas? Was he Simon Peter? See Luke 24:33-35 above. Also, were there 12 apostles by this time, or only 11?) |
| Revelation 21:14 | And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. (At this time, who were the 12 apostles? Judas was dead and this surely does not mean him. Could the twelfth apostle be Paul or Matthias?) |
| Revelation 22:14-15 | [22:14] Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city . [22:15] For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. |
