29 Moreover he provided H6213 him cities, H5892 and possessions H4735 of flocks H6629 and herds H1241 in abundance: H7230 for God H430 had given H5414 him substance H7399 very H3966 much. H7227
Both riches H6239 and honour H3519 come of thee, H6440 and thou reignest H4910 over all; and in thine hand H3027 is power H3581 and might; H1369 and in thine hand H3027 it is to make great, H1431 and to give strength H2388 unto all.
And Abram H87 was very H3966 rich H3513 in cattle, H4735 in silver, H3701 and in gold. H2091 And he went H3212 on his journeys H4550 from the south H5045 even to Bethel, H1008 unto the place H4725 where his tent H168 had been H1961 at the beginning, H8462 between Bethel H1008 and Hai; H5857 Unto the place H4725 of the altar, H4196 which he had made H6213 there at the first: H7223 and there Abram H87 called H7121 on the name H8034 of the LORD. H3068 And Lot H3876 also, which went H1980 with H854 Abram, H87 had flocks, H6629 and herds, H1241 and tents. H168 And the land H776 was not able to bear H5375 them, that they might dwell H3427 together: H3162 for their substance H7399 was great, H7227 so that they could H3201 not dwell H3427 together. H3162
The LORD H3068 maketh poor, H3423 and maketh rich: H6238 he bringeth low, H8213 and H637 lifteth up. H7311
And over the herds H1241 that fed H7462 in Sharon H8289 was Shitrai H7861 the Sharonite: H8290 and over the herds H1241 that were in the valleys H6010 was Shaphat H8202 the son H1121 of Adlai: H5724 Over the camels H1581 also was Obil H179 the Ishmaelite: H3459 and over the asses H860 was Jehdeiah H3165 the Meronothite: H4824 And over the flocks H6629 was Jaziz H3151 the Hagerite. H1905 All these were the rulers H8269 of the substance H7399 which was king H4428 David's. H1732
And Amaziah H558 said H559 to the man H376 of God, H430 But what shall we do H6213 for the hundred H3967 talents H3603 which I have given H5414 to the army H1416 of Israel? H3478 And the man H376 of God H430 answered, H559 The LORD H3068 is H3426 able to give H5414 thee much more H7235 than this.
Also he built H1129 towers H4026 in the desert, H4057 and digged H2672 many H7227 wells: H953 for he had much H7227 cattle, H4735 both in the low country, H8219 and in the plains: H4334 husbandmen H406 also, and vine dressers H3755 in the mountains, H2022 and in Carmel: H3760 for he loved H157 husbandry. H127
His substance H4735 also was seven H7651 thousand H505 sheep, H6629 and three H7969 thousand H505 camels, H1581 and five H2568 hundred H3967 yoke H6776 of oxen, H1241 and five H2568 hundred H3967 she asses, H860 and a very H3966 great H7227 household; H5657 so that this man H376 was the greatest H1419 of all the men H1121 of the east. H6924
So the LORD H3068 blessed H1288 the latter end H319 of Job H347 more than his beginning: H7225 for he had fourteen H702 H6240 thousand H505 sheep, H6629 and six H8337 thousand H505 camels, H1581 and a thousand H505 yoke H6776 of oxen, H1241 and a thousand H505 she asses. H860
The blessing H1293 of the LORD, H3068 it maketh rich, H6238 and he addeth H3254 no sorrow H6089 with it.
Charge G3853 them that are rich G4145 in G1722 this G3568 world, G165 that they be G5309 not G3361 highminded, G5309 nor G3366 trust G1679 in G1909 uncertain G83 riches, G4149 but G235 in G1722 the living G2198 God, G2316 who G3588 giveth G3930 us G2254 richly G4146 all things G3956 to G1519 enjoy; G619 That they do good, G14 that they be rich G4147 in G1722 good G2570 works, G2041 ready to distribute, G1511 G2130 willing to communicate; G2843
