Come now, let&#8217;s kill him, throw him into one of the cisterns, and then say that a wild<n id="1" /> animal ate him. Then we&#8217;ll see how his dreams turn out!&#8221;<n id="2" />p>

Now, do not be upset and do not be angry with yourselves because you sold me here,<n id="1" /> for God sent me<n id="2" /> ahead of you to preserve life!

So now, it is not you who sent me here, but God. He has made me an adviser<n id="1" /> to Pharaoh, lord over all his household, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.

So now, don&#8217;t be afraid. I will provide for you and your little children.&#8221; Then he consoled them and spoke kindly<n id="1" /> to them.p>

And now indeed<n id="1" /> the cry<n id="2" /> of the Israelites has come to me, and I have also seen how severely the Egyptians oppress them.<n id="3" />

So now, forgive my sin this time only, and pray to the <sc>Lordsc> your God that he would only<n id="1" /> take this death<n id="2" /> away from me.&#8221;

And now, if you will diligently listen to me<n id="1" /> and keep<n id="2" /> my covenant, then you will be my<n id="3" /> special possession<n id="4" /> out of all the nations, for all the earth is mine,

<p class="bodytext">The next day Moses said to the people,<n id="1" /> &#8220;You have committed a very serious sin,<n id="2" /> but now I will go up to the <sc>Lordsc> &#8211; perhaps I can make atonement<n id="3" /> on behalf of your sin.&#8221;p>

So now go, lead the people to the place I have spoken to you about. See,<n id="1" /> my angel will go before you. But on the day that I punish, I will indeed punish them for their sin.&#8221;<n id="2" />p>

Now therefore, please stay<n id="1" /> the night here also, that I may know what more the <sc>Lordsc> might say to me.&#8221;<n id="2" />

And now, I am about to go<n id="1" /> back to my own people. Come now, and I will advise you as to what this people will do to your people in the future.&#8221;<n id="2" />p>

But now, why should we die, because this intense fire will consume us! If we keep hearing the voice of the <sc>Lordsc> our God we will die!

Now select for yourselves twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one per tribe.

They came to Joshua at the camp in Gilgal and said to him and the men of Israel, &#8220;We have come from a distant land. Make a treaty with us.&#8221;

This bread of ours was warm when we packed it in our homes the day we started out to meet you,<n id="1" /> but now it is dry and hard.<n id="2" />

but all the leaders told the whole community, &#8220;We swore an oath to them in the name of<n id="1" /> the <sc>Lordsc> God of Israel. So now we can&#8217;t hurt<n id="2" /> them!

Now you are condemned to perpetual servitude as woodcutters and water carriers for the house of my God.&#8221;<n id="1" />

Joshua said,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Now put aside the foreign gods that are among you and submit to<n id="2" /> the <sc>Lordsc> God of Israel.&#8221;p>

Are you really better than Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he dare to quarrel with Israel? Did he dare to fight with them?<n id="1" />

When he got home,<n id="1" /> he told his father and mother, &#8220;A Philistine girl in Timnah has caught my eye.<n id="2" /> Now get her for my wife.&#8221;
