And they said, Stand back. And they said <i>againi>, This one <i>fellowi> came in to <span class="highlight-word">sojournspan>, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, <i>eveni> Lot, and came near to break the door.

• Covenant

<span class="highlight-word">sojournspan> in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;

They said moreover unto Pharaoh, For to <span class="highlight-word">sojournspan> in the land are we come; for thy servants have no pasture for their flocks; for the famine <i>isi> sore in the land of Canaan: now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen.

• Strangers

And when a stranger shall <span class="highlight-word">sojournspan> with thee, and will keep the passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.

And whatsoever man <i>there bei> of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that <span class="highlight-word">sojournspan> among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people.

Moreover of the children of the strangers that do <span class="highlight-word">sojournspan> among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that <i>arei> with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession.

And if a stranger shall <span class="highlight-word">sojournspan> among you, and will keep the passover unto the LORD; according to the ordinance of the passover, and according to the manner thereof, so shall he do: ye shall have one ordinance, both for the stranger, and for him that was born in the land.

And if a stranger <span class="highlight-word">sojournspan> with you, or whosoever <i>bei> among you in your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD; as ye do, so he shall do.

Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehemjudah went to <span class="highlight-word">sojournspan> in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons. And the name of the man <i>wasi> Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehemjudah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there. And Elimelech Naomi's husband died; and she was left, and her two sons. And they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one <i>wasi> Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelled there about ten years. read more And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the woman was left of her two sons and her husband. Then she arose with her daughters in law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that the LORD had visited his people in giving them bread. Wherefore she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters in law with her; and they went on the way to return unto the land of Judah. And Naomi said unto her two daughters in law, Go, return each to her mother's house: the LORD deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me. The LORD grant you that ye may find rest, each <i>of youi> in the house of her husband. Then she kissed them; and they lifted up their voice, and wept. And they said unto her, Surely we will return with thee unto thy people. And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with me? <i>arei> there yet <i>any morei> sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands? Turn again, my daughters, go <i>your wayi>; for I am too old to have an husband. If I should say, I have hope, <i>ifi> I should have an husband also to night, and should also bear sons; Would ye tarry for them till they were grown? would ye stay for them from having husbands? nay, my daughters; for it grieveth me much for your sakes that the hand of the LORD is gone out against me. And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her. And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her gods: return thou after thy sister in law. And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, <i>ori> to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people <i>shall bei> my people, and thy God my God: Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, <i>if oughti> but death part thee and me. When she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, then she left speaking unto her. So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they were come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and they said, <i>Isi> this Naomi? And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me. I went out full, and the LORD hath brought me home again empty: why <i>theni> call ye me Naomi, seeing the LORD hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me? So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter in law, with her, which returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest. show less

Then spake Elisha unto the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go thou and thine household, and <span class="highlight-word">sojournspan> wheresoever thou canst <span class="highlight-word">sojournspan>: for the LORD hath called for a famine; and it shall also come upon the land seven years.

Woe is me, that I <span class="highlight-word">sojournspan> in Mesech, <i>thati> I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

For thus saith the Lord GOD, My people went down aforetime into Egypt to <span class="highlight-word">sojournspan> there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.

And now therefore hear the word of the LORD, ye remnant of Judah; Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; If ye wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to <span class="highlight-word">sojournspan> there;

So shall it be with all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt to <span class="highlight-word">sojournspan> there; they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon them.

Now therefore know certainly that ye shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to go <i>andi> to <span class="highlight-word">sojournspan>.

Then spake Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying unto Jeremiah, Thou speakest falsely: the LORD our God hath not sent thee to say, Go not into Egypt to <span class="highlight-word">sojournspan> there:

And I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to <span class="highlight-word">sojournspan> there, and they shall all be consumed, <i>andi> fall in the land of Egypt; they shall <i>eveni> be consumed by the sword <i>andi> by the famine: they shall die, from the least even unto the greatest, by the sword and by the famine: and they shall be an execration, <i>andi> an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach.

So that none of the remnant of Judah, which are gone into the land of Egypt to <span class="highlight-word">sojournspan> there, shall escape or remain, that they should return into the land of Judah, to the which they have a desire to return to dwell there: for none shall return but such as shall escape.

Yet a small number that escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, and all the remnant of Judah, that are gone into the land of Egypt to <span class="highlight-word">sojournspan> there, shall know whose words shall stand, mine, or theirs.

They cried unto them, Depart ye; <i>it isi> unclean; depart, depart, touch not: when they fled away and wandered, they said among the heathen, They shall no more <span class="highlight-word">sojournspan> <i>therei>.

And it shall come to pass, <i>thati> ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that <span class="highlight-word">sojournspan> among you, which shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as born in the country among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.

And God spake on this wise, That his seed should <span class="highlight-word">sojournspan> in a strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat <i>themi> evil four hundred years.
