- I pray you:
- The rebels, with all that belonged to them, were, as an accursed thing, devoted to utter destruction ("Notwithstanding¹ no¹¹ devoted thing,ª that¹ a manª shall devoteª° unto the LORDª of all¹¹ that¹ he hath, [both] of manª¹ and beast,ª and of the fieldª¹ of his possession,ª shall be soldª° or redeemed:ª° every¹ devoted thingª [is] most² holyª unto the LORD.ª ... None¹¹ devoted,ª which¹ shall be² devotedª° of¹ men,ª shall be redeemed;ª° [but] shall surely²° be put to death.ª°" {Lev 27:28-29} + "Up,ª° sanctifyª°¹ the people,ª and say,ª° Sanctify²° yourselves¹ against to morrow:ª for¹ thus¹ saithª° the LORDª Godª of Israel,ª [There is] an accursed thingª in the midstª of thee, O Israel:ª thou canstª° not¹ standª° beforeª thine enemies,ª° until¹ ye take awayª° the accursed thingª from amongª¹ you. ... And it shall be,¹ [that] he that is takenª° with the accursed thingª shall be burntª° with fire,ª he and all¹ that¹ he hath: because¹ he hath transgressedª°¹ the covenantª of the LORD,ª and because¹ he hath wroughtª° follyª in Israel.ª" {Jsh 7:13-15} + "And they tookª° them out of the midstª¹ of the tent,ª and broughtª° them unto¹ Joshua,ª and unto¹ all¹ the childrenª of Israel,ª and laid them outª° beforeª the LORD.ª ... And they raisedª° over¹ him a greatª heapª of stonesª unto¹ this¹ day.ª So the LORDª turnedª° from the fiercenessª¹ of his anger.ª Wherefore¹¹ the nameª of that¹ placeª was called,ª° The valleyª of Achor,ª unto¹ this¹ day.ª" {Jsh 7:23-26}). The people therefore were forbidden to touch anything belonging to them; that they might enter a solemn protest against their wickedness, acknowledge the justice of their punishment, and express their fear of being involved in it. "Separate²° yourselves¹ from amongª¹ this¹ congregation,ª that I may consumeª° them in a moment.ª ... Speakª° unto¹ the congregation,ª saying,ª° Get you upª° from aboutª¹ the tabernacleª of Korah,ª Dathan,ª and Abiram.ª" {Num 16:21-24} + "And the men²¹ saidª° unto¹ Lot,ª Hast thou hereª anyª besides?¹ son in law,ª and thy sons,ª and thy daughters,ª and whatsoeverª¹ thou hast in the city,ª bring¹ [them] out²° of¹ this place:ª ... And Lotª went out,ª° and spakeª° unto¹ his sons in law,ª which marriedª° his daughters,ª and said,ª° Up,ª° get you outª° of¹ this¹ place;ª for¹ the LORDª will destroyª°¹ this city.ª But he seemed¹ as one that mockedª° untoª his sons in law.ª" {Gen 19:12-14} + "And there shall cleaveª° noughtª¹ of¹ the cursed thingª to thine hand:ª that¹ the LORDª may turnª° from the fiercenessª¹ of his anger,ª and shewª° thee mercy,ª and have compassionª° upon thee, and multiplyª° thee, as¹ he hath swornª° unto thy fathers;ª" {Deu 13:17} + "Departª° ye, departª° ye, go ye outª° from thence,¹¹ touchª° no¹ uncleanª [thing]; go ye outª° of the midstª¹ of her; be ye clean,ª° that bearª° the vesselsª of the LORD.ª" {Isa 52:11} + "Andª whosoeverª¹ shall²° not²¹ receiveª° you,ª norª hearª° yourª words,ª when ye depart¹ out²° of thatª houseª orª city,ª shake offª° the¹ dustª of yourª feet.ª" {Mtt 10:14} + "Butª Peterª saidª° untoª him,ª Thyª moneyª perishªªª° withª thee,ª becauseª thou hast thoughtª° that the¹ giftª of Godª may be purchasedª° withª money.ª" {Act 8:20} + "Butª they¹ shook offª° the¹ dustª of their²¹ feetª againstª them,ª and cameª° untoª Iconium.ª" {Act 13:51} + "Whereforeª come outª° fromª amongª them,ª andª be ye separate,ª° saithª° the Lord,ª andª touchª° notª the uncleanª [thing]; and² I¹ will receiveª° you,ª" {2Co 6:17} + "Layª° handsª suddenlyª on²° no man,ª neitherª be partakerª° of other² men's¹ sins:ª keepª° thyselfª pure.ª" {1Tm 5:22} + "Andª I heardª° anotherª voiceª fromª heaven,ª saying,ª° Comeª° out ofª her,ª myª people,ª that²°¹ ye be²° not² partakersª°¹ of her²¹ sins,ª andª that²°¹ ye receiveª° not²¹ ofª her²¹ plagues.ª" {Rev 18:4}
