We see in this chapter the fact that it is God that determines the borders of our kingdoms, as he has ultimate control of all things. There is much emphasis on the borders of lands - land is wealth in the eyes of man. In the eyes of God, all border changes are towards the fulfilment of His ultimate purpose.
Peter [UK] Comment added in 2002 Reply to Peter
There is value, by using a map if necessary, in following the exact line of the borders. It will help to familiarise us with the areas where each tribe settled. After all it is to be our inheritance as well!
Peter Forbes [Mountsorrel (UK)] Comment added in 2003 Reply to Peter
In this chapter we have the boundary of the inheritance of Israel. We ask the question, did the Children of Israel ever possess all of this area?
John Wilson [Toronto West (Can)] Comment added in 2004 Reply to John
Of the twelve princes appointed by God to divide the land, only Caleb of Judah remains of the twelve spies, 38 years previously. God kept His word in Num 14:30.
David Simpson [Worcester (UK)] Comment added in 2004 Reply to David
Some have suggested that the Promised Land includes the Sinai and part of Egypt. But clearly these boundaries do not go south into the Sinai. Besides, it is a preposterous idea to suggest that the land of slavery and idolatry could be part of the Promised Land. This would mean that the Children of Israel were in the Promised Land even before they were liberated.
Israel held the Sinai Peninsula but gave it back to Egypt even though the Israelis had built towns there. The settlers were upset with the government that they had to move out and that their towns had to be destroyed. However, the rabbis had no problem with it as they stated that the Sinai was not part of the Promised Land and Israel should not occupy it.

The present-day disputed West Bank is part of the Promised Land (Judea and Samaria). Also there are territories east of the River Jordan in present-day Jordan and Syria. These are the territories, from north to south, of: Manasseh (east); Gad; and Reuben. They were the conquered territories, from north to south, of: Bashan; Sihon/Ammon; Moab; and Edom.

34 We have to presume that the nation who were about to cross Jordan to take their inheritance did not know where the various places named actually were in the land of Canaan. Their locations would have become clear as they walked through the land and conquered it.
Do we take time to become familiar with the geography of the land of Israel throughout the history of God’s people residing there?

12. And the border <1366> shall go down <3381>(8804) to Jordan <3383>, and the goings out <8444> of it shall be at the salt <4417> sea <3220>: this shall be your land <776> with the coasts <1367> thereof round about <5439>.

SEARCH IT OUT
"It is the glory of God to conceal a matter;
to search out a matter is the glory of Kings."
The Bible is the Word of God. Inspired men wrote as God gave them the message. The word of God is perfect. There are no mistakes in it and it has been preserved for thousands of years and translated into our native languages so that we are able to read the message God had given us. But it is more than just a message from God to man - it is an invitation to become part of the family of God and to live with Him through eternity. Every page and every letter of this amazing book is there for a reason and it carries the signature of God. All the way through the Bible are patterns, types and prophesies that God has hidden from plain view and urges us to search out. The whole message of the Bible can be seen in what seem like simple stories in the text. Even lists of people's ancestors can tell their own incredible story if we just take the time to search out the jewels that God has hidden. Show your worth, honour and glory by searching his word today.

7. Prov 25:15 - a soft answer can accomplish much (1Pet 3:15-16).
8. Prov 25:18 - the harm caused by a false witness (1Tim 5:13;Exo 20:16;Matt 26:59-60).
9. Prov 25:19 - basic functions like eating and walking depend on teeth and feet; a bad tooth and a slipping foot are illustrations of someone failing you when you need them most (Isa 36:4-9;Job 6:14).
10. Prov 25:23 - (NET) "The north wind brings forth rain, and a gossiping tongue brings forth an angry look."
11. Prov 25:25 - a thirsty 'soul'<5315> - can the false modern day concept of a ghostlike immortal soul actually thirst? Where would the cold waters be contained? A soul is better rendered a living breathing creature human or animal here or in some cases "life".
12. Prov 25:26 - (1Kin 11:1-10); in contrast to Christ who offers living water (John 4:10-14;7:37-39).
13. Prov 25:27 - eating too much honey will make us physically sick, searching for self glory will make us spiritually sick.
14. Prov 25:28 - both the city and the man are unprotected, susceptible, and easily conquered (Eze 38:11;1Kin 11:1-10).

24:18 The word translated “maul” <4650> is only found here in the whole of the Old Testament. It is based on the word <6327> which is often translated “scatter”. We see that is exactly what false witness does. It divides those who hear the slander.

1. These are also proverbs <4912> of Solomon <8010>, which the men <582> of Hezekiah <2396> king <4428> of Judah <3063> copied out <6275>(8689).
2. It is the glory <3519> of God <430> to conceal <5641>(8687) a thing <1697>: but the honour <3519> of kings <4428> is to search out <2713>(8800) a matter <1697>.
3. The heaven <8064> for height <7312>, and the earth <776> for depth <6011>, and the heart <3820> of kings <4428> is unsearchable <2714>.
4. Take away <1898>(8800) the dross <5509> from the silver <3701>, and there shall come forth <3318>(8799) a vessel <3627> for the finer <6884>(8802).
5. Take away <1898>(8800) the wicked <7563> from before <6440> the king <4428>, and his throne <3678> shall be established <3559>(8735) in righteousness <6664>.
6. Put not forth <1921>(8691) thyself in the presence <6440> of the king <4428>, and stand <5975>(8799) not in the place <4725> of great <1419> men:
7. For better <2896> it is that it be said <559>(8800) unto thee, Come up <5927>(8798) hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower <8213>(8687) in the presence <6440> of the prince <5081> whom thine eyes <5869> have seen <7200>(8804).
8. Go not forth <3318>(8799) hastily <4118> to strive <7378>(8800), lest thou know not what to do <6213>(8799) in the end <319> thereof, when thy neighbour <7453> hath put thee to shame <3637>(8687).
9. Debate <7378>(8798) thy cause <7379> with thy neighbour <7453> himself; and discover <1540>(8762) not a secret <5475> to another <312>:
10. Lest he that heareth <8085>(8802) it put thee to shame <2616>(8762), and thine infamy <1681> turn not away <7725>(8799).
11. A word <1697> fitly <212>(8675) <655> spoken <1696>(8803) is like apples <8598> of gold <2091> in pictures <4906> of silver <3701>.
12. As an earring <5141> of gold <2091>, and an ornament <2481> of fine gold <3800>, so is a wise <2450> reprover <3198>(8688) upon an obedient <8085>(8802) ear <241>.
13. As the cold <6793> of snow <7950> in the time <3117> of harvest <7105>, so is a faithful <539>(8737) messenger <6735> to them that send <7971>(8802) him: for he refresheth <7725>(8686) the soul <5315> of his masters <113>.
14. Whoso <376> boasteth <1984>(8693) himself of a false <8267> gift <4991> is like clouds <5387> and wind <7307> without rain <1653>.
15. By long <753> forbearing <639> is a prince <7101> persuaded <6601>(8792), and a soft <7390> tongue <3956> breaketh <7665>(8799) the bone <1634>.
16. Hast thou found <4672>(8804) honey <1706>? eat <398>(8798) so much as is sufficient <1767> for thee, lest thou be filled <7646>(8799) therewith, and vomit <6958>(8689) it.
17. Withdraw <3365>(8685) thy foot <7272> from thy neighbour's <7453> house <1004>; lest he be weary <7646>(8799) of thee, and so hate <8130>(8804) thee.
18. A man <376> that beareth <6030>(8802) false <8267> witness <5707> against his neighbour <7453> is a maul <4650>, and a sword <2719>, and a sharp <8150>(8802) arrow <2671>.
19. Confidence <4009> in an unfaithful man <898>(8802) in time <3117> of trouble <6869> is like a broken <7465> tooth <8127>, and a foot <7272> out of joint <4154>.
20. As he that taketh away <5710>(8688) a garment <899> in cold <7135> weather <3117>, and as vinegar <2558> upon nitre <5427>, so is he that singeth <7891>(8802) songs <7892> to an heavy <7451> heart <3820>.
21. If thine enemy <8130>(8802) be hungry <7457>, give him bread <3899> to eat <398>(8685); and if he be thirsty <6771>, give him water <4325> to drink <8248>(8685):
22. For thou shalt heap <2846>(8802) coals of fire <1513> upon his head <7218>, and the LORD <3068> shall reward <7999>(8762) thee.
23. The north <6828> wind <7307> driveth away <2342>(8787) rain <1653>: so doth an angry <2194>(8737) countenance <6440> a backbiting <5643> tongue <3956>.
24. It is better <2896> to dwell <3427>(8800) in the corner <6438> of the housetop <1406>, than with a brawling <4079>(8675) <4066> woman <802> and in a wide <2267> house <1004>.
25. As cold <7119> waters <4325> to a thirsty <5889> soul <5315>, so is good <2896> news <8052> from a far <4801> country <776>.
26. A righteous <6662> man falling down <4131>(8801) before <6440> the wicked <7563> is as a troubled <7515>(8737) fountain <4599>, and a corrupt <7843>(8716) spring <4726>.
27. It is not good <2896> to eat <398>(8800) much <7235>(8687) honey <1706>: so for men to search <2714> their own glory <3519> is not glory <3519>.
28. He <376> that hath no rule <4623> over his own spirit <7307> is like a city <5892> that is broken down <6555>(8803), and without walls <2346>.

WHAT DO YOU SAY ABOUT JESUS?
People were divided over who Jesus really was. Some thought he was a prophet. Others thought he could possibly be the Messiah and others were convinced that he was an expert liar. Not even his own brothers believed him. Yet those who did not believe, even thought they were the most knowledgeable and influential religious experts of the day, could not prove that Jesus was not who he said he was. Jesus claimed to be the Son of God, the Messiah. They did not want to believe because he challenged their thinking and traditions and made them feel uncomfortable.
And so we can look through history and find that people have always struggled with the same question. Who is Jesus? A prophet? A liar? Or the Messiah? The important question to ask now is, who do you say Jesus is? Your answer will influence your actions. If you believe that Jesus is a liar then it is important that you prove your point beyond reasonable doubt. If you believe that Jesus is a prophet then you must learn from him. If you believe he is the Messiah then you must trust him, believe him and follow him, no matter what the cost.
What do you say?

7:52 - "Search and look" - Jonah was the only Old Testament prophet from Galilee. He came from Gath-Hepher (2 Kings 14:25- winepress of the well). Hepher means- to pry or search out.
Matt Drywood [Hamilton Book Road (Can)] Comment added in 2003 Reply to Matt
V.50 After three years we are once again introduced to Nicodemus. We see how he has matured in his eventual commitment to serve Christ. He showed great courage in insisting that Jesus be given a trial, pointing out to the other Pharisees that he was innocent until proven guilty.

REACTIONS TO JESUS
1. UNBELIEF (v.1-5) - The brothers did not really believe in him. It was really a reaction of half-mused teasing contempt.
They didn't see it as a matter of life or death.
2. HATRED (v.7,19) There was the sheer hatred of the scribes & pharisees and of the chief priests. Jesus drove through
their petty rules & regulations and the political life styles of the Sadducees was threatened. They had a vested interest.
3. MURDER (v.30, 32) Both of the above were consumed with wanting to eliminate Jesus.
4. CONTEMPT (v.15, 47-49) There was an arrogant contempt - this was academic snobery.
5. CURIOUSITY (v.11-12, 43) The crowd reacted 2 fold: v.11 - the reaction of interest adn v.12, 43 - the reaction of discussion - there was danger in both
When we are searching for God's truth, we need to make sure that we look at His word carefully and prayerfully with an open heart & mind. Don't jump to conclusions before knowing more of what the scriptural principals are.

New Testimony Book – From Bethany To Gethsemane (Brother Peter Forbes)
The Gospel records cover the three and a half years of Jesus’ ministry, but about a third of the text focuses on just one week.
Jesus arrived in Bethany six days before the fateful Passover of his crucifixion, and from the moment he arrives there is an abrupt change of pace in the records. All four Gospel writers now provide a great amount of detail for each day’s events, and by carefully piecing together those details we see the intensity of the opposition Jesus faced, the contrasting characters of his disciples, and how in his darkest hours the Father provided comfort.
This book- 240 pages with charts and tables, a full scripture index, three appendices including a calendar of the week - provides an easy-to-see calendar of events of the final week of the Lord Jesus, and affords insights into those events. Through it we can marvel again at the determination of our Lord to do his Father’s bidding.

1. <2532> After <3326> these things <5023> Jesus <2424> walked <4043>(5707) in <1722> Galilee <1056>: for <1063> he would <2309>(5707) not <3756> walk <4043>(5721) in <1722> Jewry <2449>, because <3754> the Jews <2453> sought <2212>(5707) to kill <615>(5658) him <846>.

6. Then <3767> Jesus <2424> said <3004>(5719) unto them <846>, My <1699> time <2540> is <3918> <0> not yet <3768> come <3918>(5748): but <1161> your <5212> time <2540> is <2076>(5748) alway <3842> ready <2092>.
7. The world <2889> cannot <3756> <1410>(5736) hate <3404>(5721) you <5209>; but <1161> me <1691> it hateth <3404>(5719), because <3754> I <1473> testify <3140>(5719) of <4012> it <846>, that <3754> the works <2041> thereof <846> are <2076>(5748) evil <4190>.
8. Go <305> <0> ye <5210> up <305>(5628) unto <1519> this <5026> feast <1859>: I <1473> go <305> <0> not <3768> <0> up <305>(5719) yet <3768> unto <1519> this <5026> feast <1859>; for <3754> my <1699> time <2540> is <4137> <0> not yet <3768> full come <4137>(5769).
9. When <1161> he had said <2036>(5631) these words <5023> unto them <846>, he abode <3306>(5656) still in <1722> Galilee <1056>.
10. But <1161> when <5613> his <846> brethren <80> were gone up <305>(5627), then <5119> went he <305> <0> also <2532> up <305>(5627) unto <1519> the feast <1859>, not <3756> openly <5320>, but <235> as it were <5613> in <1722> secret <2927>.
11. Then <3767> the Jews <2453> sought <2212>(5707) him <846> at <1722> the feast <1859>, and <2532> said <3004>(5707), Where <4226> is <2076>(5748) he <1565>?
12. And <2532> there was <2258>(5713) much <4183> murmuring <1112> among <1722> the people <3793> concerning <4012> him <846>: for some <3303> said <3004>(5707), <3754> He is <2076>(5748) a good man <18>: others <1161> <243> said <3004>(5707), Nay <3756>; but <235> he deceiveth <4105>(5719) the people <3793>.
13. Howbeit <3305> no man <3762> spake <2980>(5707) openly <3954> of <4012> him <846> for <1223> fear <5401> of the Jews <2453>.
14. Now <2235> about <1161> the midst of <3322>(5723) the feast <1859> Jesus <2424> went up <305>(5627) into <1519> the temple <2411>, and <2532> taught <1321>(5707).
15. And <2532> the Jews <2453> marvelled <2296>(5707), saying <3004>(5723), How <4459> knoweth <1492>(5758) this man <3778> letters <1121>, having <3129> <0> never <3361> learned <3129>(5761)?
16. Jesus <2424> answered <611>(5662) them <846>, and <2532> said <2036>(5627), My <1699> doctrine <1322> is <2076>(5748) not <3756> mine <1699>, but <235> his that sent <3992>(5660) me <3165>.
17. If <1437> any man <5100> will <2309>(5725) do <4160>(5721) his <846> will <2307>, he shall know <1097>(5695) of <4012> the doctrine <1322>, whether <4220> it be <2076>(5748) of <1537> God <2316>, or <2228> whether I <1473> speak <2980>(5719) of <575> myself <1683>.
18. He that speaketh <2980>(5723) of <575> himself <1438> seeketh <2212>(5719) his own <2398> glory <1391>: but <1161> he that seeketh <2212>(5723) his glory <1391> that sent <3992>(5660) him <846>, the same <3778> is <2076>(5748) true <227>, and <2532> no <3756> unrighteousness <93> is <2076>(5748) in <1722> him <846>.
19. Did <1325> <0> not <3756> Moses <3475> give <1325>(5758) you <5213> the law <3551>, and <2532> yet none <3762> of <1537> you <5216> keepeth <4160>(5719) the law <3551>? Why <5101> go ye about <2212>(5719) to kill <615>(5658) me <3165>?
20. The people <3793> answered <611>(5662) and <2532> said <2036>(5627), Thou hast <2192>(5719) a devil <1140>: who <5101> goeth about <2212>(5719) to kill <615>(5658) thee <4571>?
21. Jesus <2424> answered <611>(5662) and <2532> said <2036>(5627) unto them <846>, I have done <4160>(5656) one <1520> work <2041>, and <2532> ye <2296> <0> all <3956> marvel <2296>(5719).
22. Moses <3475> therefore <1223> <5124> gave <1325>(5758) unto you <5213> circumcision <4061>; (not <3756> because <3754> it is <2076>(5748) of <1537> Moses <3475>, but <235> of <1537> the fathers <3962>;) and <2532> ye <4059> <0> on <1722> the sabbath day <4521> circumcise <4059>(5719) a man <444>.
23. If <1487> a man <444> on <1722> the sabbath day <4521> receive <2983>(5719) circumcision <4061>, that <3363> <0> the law <3551> of Moses <3475> should <3089> <0> not <3363> be broken <3089>(5686); are ye angry <5520>(5719) at me <1698>, because <3754> I have made <4160>(5656) a man <444> every whit <3650> whole <5199> on <1722> the sabbath day <4521>?
24. Judge <2919>(5720) not <3361> according to <2596> the appearance <3799>, but <235> judge <2919>(5657) righteous <1342> judgment <2920>.
25. Then <3767> said <3004>(5707) some <5100> of <1537> them of Jerusalem <2415>, Is <2076>(5748) not <3756> this <3778> he, whom <3739> they seek <2212>(5719) to kill <615>(5658)?
26. But <2532>, lo <2396>, he speaketh <2980>(5719) boldly <3954>, and <2532> they say <3004>(5719) nothing <3762> unto him <846>. Do <1097> <0> the rulers <758> know <1097>(5627) indeed <3379> <230> that <3754> this <3778> is <2076>(5748) the very <230> Christ <5547>?
27. Howbeit <235> we know <1492>(5758) this man <5126> whence <4159> he is <2076>(5748): but <1161> when <3752> Christ <5547> cometh <2064>(5741), no man <3762> knoweth <1097>(5719) whence <4159> he is <2076>(5748).
28. Then <3767> cried <2896>(5656) Jesus <2424> in <1722> the temple <2411> as he taught <1321>(5723), <2532> saying <3004>(5723), Ye both <2504> know me <1492>(5758), and <2532> ye know <1492>(5758) whence <4159> I am <1510>(5748): and <2532> I am <2064> <0> not <3756> come <2064>(5754) of <575> myself <1683>, but <235> he that sent <3992>(5660) me <3165> is <2076>(5748) true <228>, whom <3739> ye <5210> know <1492>(5758) not <3756>.
29. But <1161> I <1473> know <1492>(5758) him <846>: for <3754> I am <1510>(5748) from <3844> him <846>, and he <2548> hath sent <649>(5656) me <3165>.
30. Then <3767> they sought <2212>(5707) to take <4084>(5658) him <846>: but <2532> no man <3762> laid <1911>(5627) hands <5495> on <1909> him <846>, because <3754> his <846> hour <5610> was <2064> <0> not yet <3768> come <2064>(5715).
31. And <1161> many <4183> of <1537> the people <3793> believed <4100>(5656) on <1519> him <846>, and <2532> said <3004>(5707), <3754> When <3752> Christ <5547> cometh <2064>(5632), will he do <3385> <4160>(5692) more <4119> miracles <4592> than these <5130> which <3739> this <3778> man hath done <4160>(5656)?
32. The Pharisees <5330> heard <191>(5656) that the people <3793> murmured <1111>(5723) such things <5023> concerning <4012> him <846>; and <2532> the Pharisees <5330> and <2532> the chief priests <749> sent <649>(5656) officers <5257> to <2443> take <4084>(5661) him <846>.
33. Then <3767> said <2036>(5627) Jesus <2424> unto them <846>, Yet <2089> a little <3398> while <5550> am I <1510>(5748) with <3326> you <5216>, and <2532> then I go <5217>(5719) unto <4314> him that sent <3992>(5660) me <3165>.
34. Ye shall seek <2212>(5692) me <3165>, and <2532> shall <2147> <0> not <3756> find <2147>(5692) me: and <2532> where <3699> I <1473> am <1510>(5748), thither ye <5210> cannot <3756> <1410>(5736) come <2064>(5629).
35. Then <3767> said <2036>(5627) the Jews <2453> among <4314> themselves <1438>, Whither <4226> will <3195>(5719) he <3778> go <4198>(5738), that <3754> we <2249> shall <2147> <0> not <3756> find <2147>(5692) him <846>? will <3361> <3195>(5719) he go <4198>(5738) unto <1519> the dispersed <1290> among the Gentiles <1672>, and <2532> teach <1321>(5721) the Gentiles <1672>?
36. What <5101> manner of saying <3056> is <2076>(5748) this <3778> that <3739> he said <2036>(5627), Ye shall seek <2212>(5692) me <3165>, and <2532> shall <2147> <0> not <3756> find <2147>(5692) me: and <2532> where <3699> I <1473> am <1510>(5748), thither ye <5210> cannot <3756> <1410>(5736) come <2064>(5629)?
37. <1161> In <1722> the last <2078> day <2250>, that great <3173> day of the feast <1859>, Jesus <2424> stood <2476>(5715) and <2532> cried <2896>(5656), saying <3004>(5723), If <1437> any man <5100> thirst <1372>(5725), let him come <2064>(5737) unto <4314> me <3165>, and <2532> drink <4095>(5720).
38. He that believeth <4100>(5723) on <1519> me <1691>, as <2531> the scripture <1124> hath said <2036>(5627), out of <1537> his <846> belly <2836> shall flow <4482>(5692) rivers <4215> of living <2198>(5723) water <5204>.
39. (But <1161> this <5124> spake he <2036>(5627) of <4012> the Spirit <4151>, which <3739> they that believe <4100>(5723) on <1519> him <846> should <3195>(5707) receive <2983>(5721): for <1063> the Holy <40> Ghost <4151> was <2258>(5713) not yet <3768> given; because <3754> that Jesus <2424> was <1392> <0> not yet <3764> glorified <1392>(5681).)
40. Many <4183> of <1537> the people <3793> therefore <3767>, when they heard <191>(5660) this saying <3056>, said <3004>(5707), Of a truth <230> this <3778> is <2076>(5748) the Prophet <4396>.
41. Others <243> said <3004>(5707), This <3778> is <2076>(5748) the Christ <5547>. But <1161> some <243> said <3004>(5707), <1063> Shall <3361> Christ <5547> come <2064>(5736) out of <1537> Galilee <1056>?
42. Hath not <3780> the scripture <1124> said <2036>(5627), That <3754> Christ <5547> cometh <2064>(5736) of <1537> the seed <4690> of David <1138>, and <2532> out of <575> the town <2968> of Bethlehem <965>, where <3699> David <1138> was <2258>(5713)?
43. So <3767> there was <1096>(5633) a division <4978> among <1722> the people <3793> because <1223> of him <846>.
44. And <1161> some <5100> of <1537> them <846> would <2309>(5707) have taken <4084>(5658) him <846>; but <235> no man <3762> laid <1911>(5627) hands <5495> on <1909> him <846>.
45. Then <3767> came <2064>(5627) the officers <5257> to <4314> the chief priests <749> and <2532> Pharisees <5330>; and <2532> they <1565> said <2036>(5627) unto them <846>, Why <1302> have ye <71> <0> not <3756> brought <71>(5627) him <846>?
46. The officers <5257> answered <611>(5662), Never <3763> man <444> spake <3779> <2980>(5656) like <5613> this <3778> man <444>.
47. Then <3767> answered <611>(5662) them <846> the Pharisees <5330>, Are <4105> <0> ye <5210> also <2532> deceived <4105>(5769) <3361>?
48. Have any <3387> <5100> of <1537> the rulers <758> or <2228> of <1537> the Pharisees <5330> believed <4100>(5656) on <1519> him <846>?
49. But <235> this <3778> people <3793> who <3588> knoweth <1097>(5723) not <3361> the law <3551> are <1526>(5748) cursed <1944>.
50. Nicodemus <3530> saith <3004>(5719) unto <4314> them <846>, (he that came <2064>(5631) to Jesus <846> by <4314> night <3571>, being <5607>(5752) one <1520> of <1537> them <846>,)
51. Doth <2919> <0> our <2257> law <3551> judge <2919>(5719) <3361> any man <444>, before <4386> <3362> it hear <191>(5661) <3844> him <846>, and <2532> know <1097>(5632) what <5101> he doeth <4160>(5719)?
52. They answered <611>(5662) and <2532> said <2036>(5627) unto him <846>, Art <3361> <1488>(5748) thou <4771> also <2532> of <1537> Galilee <1056>? Search <2045>(5657), and <2532> look <2396>: for <3754> out of <1537> Galilee <1056> ariseth <1453>(5769) no <3756> prophet <4396>.
53. And <2532> every man <1538> went <4198>(5675) unto <1519> his own <848> house <3624>.
