Gen 22:1-12:
22 Several years later, God decided to test Avraham,[ref] calling him, “Avraham.”
2 “Take your son Yitshak (Isaac) who you love, your only son,” God commanded him, “and go to the Moriyah region[ref] and sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains that I’ll point out to you.”
3 So Avraham got up early in the morning and saddled his donkey. Then he took two of his young men with him and his son Yitshak, and he cut some firewood for the burnt offering. Then they left to go to the place that God had told him. 4 On the third day Avraham looked up ahead and he could see the place from a distance, 5 so he said to his young men, “Stay here by yourselves with the donkey while the boy and I go over there to worship God, then we’ll come back to you here.”
6 So Avraham took the firewood for the burnt offering and put it on his son Yitshak, and he carried the fire pot and the knife. Then the two of them went on together, 7 and Yitshak asked his father Avraham his father, “My father?”
“We’ve got the fire and the wood,”, he continued, “but where’s the lamb for the burnt offering?”
8 “God will provide the lamb for the burnt offering himself, my son,” Avraham answered, and then the two of them continued on together.
9 Then they came to the place that God had told him, and Avraham built an altar there and arranged the firewood on it. Then he tied up his son Yitshak and laid him on the altar on top of the wood.[ref] 10 Then Avraham took the knife and raised his arm to kill his son, 11 but one of Yahweh’s messengers called to him from the sky and said, “Avraham! Avraham!”
12 “Don’t lift up your hand against the boy,” the messenger continued. “And don’t do anything to him, because now I know that you respect and obey God, since you haven’t withheld your son, your only son, from me.”
Gen 15:6:
6 Avram believed in Yahweh, and Yahweh considered that faith of Avram’s as an act of obedience.[ref]
Gen 39:7-9:
7 and after a while, his master’s wife started to develop a crush on him and told him, “Come to bed with me.” 8 But he refused and told her, “Listen, with me here, my master doesn’t have to think about what’s in the house and he’s put me in charge of everything. 9 In this house, he doesn’t even have more authority than I do and he hasn’t kept anything back from me, except for you, his wife. How could I do this very wicked thing and sin against God.
Gen 41:39-43:
39 Then he told Yosef (Joseph), “Since God has shown you all this, there’s no one as discerning and wise as you. 40 You’ll be over my household, and all my people will obey your every word. Only I on the throne will be greater than you.”[ref] 41 Then he added, “See, I’ve put you over all the entire country.” 42 Then he removed his signet ring from his hand and put it on Yosef’s hand, and he had him dressed in fine linen clothes, and put a gold chain around his neck.[ref] 43 He had Yosef ride in his #2 chariot, and they called out in front of him, “Bow down!” So the king put him over the entire country of Mitsrayim (Egypt).
Num 25:10-13:
10 Then Yahweh spoke to Mosheh, 11 “Aharon’s grandson Pinhas has deflected my anger from the Israelis by demonstrating my seriousness about their behaviour, so now in my zeal, I won’t eliminate the Israelis. 12 So tell him that I’m making a peace agreement with him. 13 It’s an agreement that gives him and his descendants the rights to be priests because he was zealous on his god’s behalf and he worked towards removing the guilt of the people.”
Num 27:18-23:
18 Then Yahweh told Mosheh, “Get Nun’s son Yehoshua (Joshua),[ref] a man who has my spirit in him, and place your hands on him to indicate the transfer of leadership. 19 Stand him in front of the priest Eleazar and all the assembly, and commission him as they watch. 20 Give him some of your authority so that all the Israeli people can hear it. 21 When he needs guidance, he must stand in front of the priest Eleazar and ask for Yahweh’s decision to be given via the Urim.[ref] Then Yehoshua and all the people will go in or come out as per Yahweh’s instructions.” 22 So Mosheh did what Yahweh had ordered him to, and he presented Yehoshua to the priest Eleazar and to the entire community. 23 Mosheh placed his hands on Yehoshua and commissioned him, just has Yahweh had said he should.
Josh 14:6-14:
6 Leaders from the tribe of Yehudah (Judah) approached Yehoshua (Joshua) at Gilgal and Kalev (Caleb) (son of Yefuneh the Kenizi) said to him, “You yourself know what Yahweh told the man of God Mosheh (Moses) at Kadesh-Barnea about me and you.[ref] 7 I was forty years old when Yahweh’s servant Mosheh sent me from Kadesh-Barnea to spy out the land, and I brought back an honest report.[ref] 8 The other men who went made the people terrified, but I remained loyal to my god Yahweh. 9 Mosheh promised me that day, saying, ‘The land that you walked on will certainly be for an inheritance for you and your sons forever, because you were completely loyal to my god Yahweh.’[ref] 10 Now, listen. Yahweh has kept me alive these forty-five years since Yahweh said that to Mosheh, back when Yisrael (Israel) was walking in the wilderness. Yes, believe it or not, I’m now eighty-five. 11 I’m still as strong today as I was on the day that Mosheh sent me. Just like I could fight back then, I can still fight or travel just the same. 12 So now, please give me that hill country that Yahweh promised that day, because you yourself heard me say that the Anakim lived there in fortified cities. So now, perhaps Yahweh will help me to take them over just as he said.”
13 So Yehoshua blessed Yefuneh’s son Kalev and gave him Hevron as his inheritance. 14 Because of that, Hevron belongs to Kalev (Yefuneh the Kenizi’s son) as an inheritance until this day, because he was completely loyal to Yisrael’s god Yahweh.
2Sam 7:12-16:
12 when your time on earth comes to an end and you’re laid down with your ancestors, I will appoint one of your sons to be king and I will establish his kingdom.[ref] 13 He’s the one who’ll build a temple for me, and I will make his descendents reign forever. 14 I myself will become like a father to him, and he’ll become like a son to me.[ref] When he disobeys, I’ll punish him like fathers punish their sons. 15 But my kindness won’t turn away from you like I turned away from Sha’ul (Saul)—the one who I removed ahead of you. 16 Your descendants and your kingdom will remain forever. Your throne will be established forever.’ ”[ref]
2Ki 2:11:
11 Then it had happened while they were walking and talking together. Wow, a chariot of fire and horses of fire drove between the two of them, separating them. Then Eliyah went up to the heavens in the gale.
Dan 1:6-7:
6 Among the young men from Yehudah who were chosen were Daniyel, Hananyah, Mishael, and Azaryah, 7 but Ashpenaz named them Belteshatsar (Belteshazzar), Shadrak, Meyshak, and Aved-Nego respectively.
Dan 3:26-27:
26 Then Nevukadnetsar went over by the furnace door and called out, “Shadrak, Meyshak, and Aved-Nego, servants of the Most High God, come out, and come over here!” Then the three men walked out from the middle of the fire. 27 All the king’s officials gathered around them and saw that the fire hadn’t harmed them—their hair wasn’t even singed, their cloaks weren’t damaged, and they didn’t even smell like smoke.
Dan 6:21-23:
21 “Long live the king,” Daniyel called back. 22 “My god sent his angel and shut the lions’ mouths, and they haven’t hurt me, because he saw that I wasn’t guilty of anything. Also, your majesty, I haven’t wronged you in any way.”
23 Then the king was very happy, and ordered that Daniyel be pulled up out of the den. So Daniyel was lifted out of the den, and he didn’t even have a scratch on him, because he had trusted in his god.
