- "And Josephª sawª°¹ his brethren,ª and he knewª° them, but made himself strangeª° unto¹ them, and spakeª° roughlyª unto¹ them; and he saidª° unto¹ them, Whenceª¹ comeª° ye? And they said,ª° From the landª¹ of Canaanª to buyª° food.ª" {Gen 42:7} + "And he saidª° unto¹ them, Nay,¹ but¹ to seeª° the nakednessª of the landª ye are come.ª°" {Gen 42:12} + "Sendª° oneª of¹ you, and let him fetchª°¹ your brother,ª and ye¹ shall be kept in prison,ª° that your wordsª may be proved,ª° whether [there be any] truthª inª you: or elseª¹ by the lifeª of Pharaohª surely¹ ye¹ [are] spies.ª°" {Gen 42:16} + "The man,ª [who is] the lordª of the land,ª spakeª° roughlyª to¹ us, and tookª° us for spiesª° of¹ the country.ª" {Gen 42:30} + "Thou shalt fearª°¹ the LORDª thy God,ª and serveª° him, and shalt swearª° by his name.ª" {Deu 6:13} + "And she said,ª° Ohª my lord,ª [as] thy soulª liveth,ª my lord,ª I¹ [am] the womanª that stoodª° by¹ thee here,¹ prayingª° unto¹ the LORD.ª" {1Sm 1:26} + "And when Saulª sawª°¹ Davidª go forthª° againstª° the Philistine,ª he saidª° unto¹ Abner,ª the captainª of the host,ª Abner,ª whose¹ sonª [is] this¹ youth?ª And Abnerª said,ª° [As] thy soulª liveth,ª O king,ª I cannotª tell.ª°" {1Sm 17:55} + "And Davidª swareª° moreover,¹ and said,ª° Thy fatherª certainly²° knowethª° that¹ I have foundª° graceª in thine eyes;ª and he saith,ª° Let not¹ Jonathanª knowª° this,¹ lest¹ he be grieved:ª° but trulyª [as] the LORDª liveth,ª and [as] thy soulª liveth,ª [there¹ is] but a stepª between¹ me and death.ª" {1Sm 20:3} + "And though¹ they say,ª° The LORDª liveth;ª surely¹ they swearª° falsely.ª" {Jer 5:2} + "Howª shall I pardonª° thee for this?ª thy childrenª have forsakenª° me, and swornª° by [them that are] noª gods:ª when I had fed them to the full,²°¹¹ they then committed adultery,ª° and assembled themselves¹ by troops²° in the harlots'ª° houses.ª" {Jer 5:7} + "Again,ª ye have heardª° thatª it hath been saidª° by them of old time,ª Thou shalt²° notª forswear¹ thyself,²° butª shalt performª° unto the¹ Lordª thineª oaths:ª ...
