You must not make gods of silver alongside me,<n id="1" /> nor make gods of gold for yourselves.<n id="2" />p>

Do not turn to idols,<n id="1" /> and you must not make for yourselves gods of cast metal. I am the <sc>Lordsc> your God.p>

There he said to them, &#8220;I can tell that your father&#8217;s attitude toward me has changed,<n id="1" /> but the God of my father has been with me.

May the God of Abraham and the god of Nahor,<n id="1" /> the gods of their father, judge between us.&#8221; Jacob took an oath by the God whom his father Isaac feared.<n id="2" />

<p class="bodytext">Then Jacob prayed,<n id="1" /> &#8220;O God of my father Abraham, God of my father Isaac, O <sc>Lordsc>, you said<n id="2" /> to me, &#8216;Return to your land and to your relatives and I will make you prosper.&#8217;<n id="3" />

He added, &#8220;I am the God of your father,<n id="1" /> the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.&#8221; Then Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look<n id="2" /> at God.p>

&#8220;that they may believe that the <sc>Lordsc>, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.&#8221;p>

<p class="bodytext">Eli replied, &#8220;Go in peace, and may the God of Israel grant the request that you have asked of him.&#8221;

<p class="poetry">Even the birds find a home there,p> <p class="poetry">and the swallow<n id="1" /> builds a nest,p> <p class="poetry">where she can protect her young<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">near your altars, O <sc>Lord who rules over allsc>,p> <p class="poetry">my king and my God.p>

and the <sc>Lordsc> stood at its top. He said, &#8220;I am the <sc>Lordsc>, the God of your grandfather Abraham and the God of your father Isaac.<n id="1" /> I will give you and your descendants the ground<n id="2" /> you are lying on.

I have<n id="1" /> the power to do you harm, but the God of your father told me last night, &#8216;Be careful<n id="2" /> that you neither bless nor curse Jacob.&#8217;<n id="3" />

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;Everything is fine,&#8221;<n id="1" /> the man in charge of Joseph&#8217;s household told them. &#8220;Don&#8217;t be afraid.

<p class="poetry">So now the <sc>Lordsc> says,p> <p class="poetry">the one who formed me from birth<n id="1" /> to be his servant &#8211;p> <p class="poetry">he did this<n id="2" /> to restore Jacob to himself,p> <p class="poetry">so that Israel might be gathered to him;p> <p class="poetry">and I will be honored<n id="3" /> in the <sc>Lordsc>&#8217;s sight,p> <p class="poetry">for my God is my source of strength<n id="4" /> &#8211;p>
