The Lord # 39
39. We can see that the Lord is called “the God of Israel” and “the God of Jacob” from the following passages:
Moses took the blood and sprinkled it on the people and said, “This is the blood of the covenant that Jehovah has made with you.” And they saw the God of Israel, under whose feet there was something like a work of sapphire stone and like the substance of heaven. (Exodus 24:8-10)
The crowds were amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel. (Matthew 15:31)
Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, because he has visited and freed his people Israel, when he raised up the horn of our salvation in the house of David. (Luke 1:68-69)
I will give you treasures of darkness and the hidden wealth of secret places so that you may recognize that I, Jehovah, who have called you by your name, am the God of Israel. (Isaiah 45:3)
... the house of Jacob, people who swear by the name of Jehovah and of the God of Israel, for they are called by the name of the holy city and rely on the God of Israel: Jehovah Sabaoth is his name. (Isaiah 48:1-2)
Jacob will see his descendants in his midst. They will sanctify my name and will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob; and they will fear the God of Israel. (Isaiah 29:23)
In the very last of days many people will come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, to the house of the God of Jacob, who will teach us about his ways so that we may walk in his paths.” (Isaiah 2:3; Micah 4:2)
... so that all flesh may know that I, Jehovah, am your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. (Isaiah 49:26)
I, Jehovah, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Powerful One of Jacob. (Isaiah 60:16)
In the presence of the Lord you give birth, O earth, in the presence of the God of Jacob. (Psalms 114:7)
David swore to Jehovah and made a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob, “[God forbid] that I enter the tent of my home until I have found a place for Jehovah, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.” We have heard of him in Ephrata [that is, Bethlehem]. (Psalms 132:2-3, 5-6)
Blessed be the God of Israel; the whole earth will be full of his glory. (Psalms 72:18-19)
There are also many other passages where the Lord is called “God of Israel, ” “Redeemer, ” and “Savior, ” such as Luke 1:47; Isaiah 45:15; 54:5; Psalms 78:35; plus many other places where we find only “the God of Israel, ” as in Isaiah 17:6; 21:10, 17; 24:15; 29:23; Jeremiah 7:3; 9:15; 11:3; 13:12; 16:9; 19:3, 15; 23:2; 24:5; 25:15, 27; 29:4, 8, 21, 25; 30:2; 31:23; 32:14-15, 36; 33:4; 34:2, 13; 35:13, 17-19; 37:7; 38:17; 39:16; 42:9, 15, 18; 43:10; 44:2, 7, 11, 25; 48:1; 50:18; 51:33; Ezekiel 8:4; 9:3; 10:19-20; 11:22; 43:2; 44:2; Zephaniah 2:9; Psalms 41:13; 59:5; 68:8.
出埃及記 23
2
不可隨眾行惡；不可在爭訟的事上隨眾偏行，作見證屈枉正直；
3
也不可在爭訟的事上偏護窮人。
5
若看見恨你人的驢壓臥在重馱之下，不可走開，務要和驢主一同抬開重馱。
6
不可在窮人爭訟的事上屈枉正直。
7
當遠離虛假的事。不可殺無辜和有義的人，因我必不以惡人為義。
8
不可受賄賂；因為賄賂能叫明眼人變瞎了，又能顛倒義人的話。
9
不可欺壓寄居的；因為你們在埃及地作過寄居的，知道寄居的心。
11
只是第七年要叫地歇息，不耕不種，使你民中的窮人有吃的；他們所剩下的，野獸可以吃。你的葡萄園和橄欖園也要照樣辦理。
12
六日你要做工，第七日要安息，使牛、驢可以歇息，並使你婢女的兒子和寄居的都可以舒暢。
13
凡我對你們說的話，你們要謹守。別神的名，你不可題，也不可從你口中傳說。
15
你要守除酵節，照我所吩咐你的，在亞筆月內所定的日期，吃無酵餅七天。誰也不可空手朝見我，因為你是這月出了埃及。
16
又要守收割節，所收的是你田間所種、勞碌得來初熟之物。並在年底收藏，要守收藏節。
18
不可將我祭牲的血和有酵的餅一同獻上；也不可將我節上祭牲的脂油留到早晨。
19
地裡首先初熟之物要送到耶和華─你神的殿。不可用山羊羔母的奶煮山羊羔。
20
看哪，我差遣使者在你前面，在路上保護你，領你到我所預備的地方去。
21
他是奉我名來的；你們要在他面前謹慎，聽從他的話，不可惹（惹或作：違背）他，因為他必不赦免你們的過犯。
22
你若實在聽從他的話，照著我一切所說的去行，我就向你的仇敵作仇敵，向你的敵人作敵人。
23
我的使者要在你前面行，領你到亞摩利人、赫人、比利洗人、迦南人、希未人、耶布斯人那裡去，我必將他們剪除。
24
你不可跪拜他們的神，不可事奉他，也不可效法他們的行為，卻要把神像盡行拆毀，打碎他們的柱像。
25
你們要事奉耶和華─你們的神，他必賜福與你的糧與你的水，也必從你們中間除去疾病。
26
你境內必沒有墜胎的，不生產的。我要使你滿了你年日的數目。
27
凡你所到的地方，我要使那裡的眾民在你面前驚駭，擾亂，又要使你一切仇敵轉背逃跑。
28
我要打發黃蜂飛在你前面，把希未人、迦南人、赫人攆出去。
29
我不在一年之內將他們從你面前攆出去，恐怕地成為荒涼，野地的獸多起來害你。
30
我要漸漸地將他們從你面前攆出去，等到你的人數加多，承受那地為業。
