Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance, the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.

Your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, will return to their former estate; and Samaria and her daughters will return to their former estate; and you and your daughters will return to your former estate.For your sister Sodom was not mentioned by your mouth in the day of your pride,

having good behavior among the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they see, glorify God in the day of visitation.

“ He said to me,‘ Depart, for I will send you out far from here to the Gentiles.’”

and will dash you and your children within you to the ground. They will not leave in you one stone on another, because you didn’t know the time of your visitation.”

Indeed, he says,“ It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel. I will also give you as a light to the nations, that you may be my salvation to the end of the earth.”

“ Foreigners will build up your walls, and their kings will serve you: for in my wrath I struck you, but in my favor I have had mercy on you.Your gates also shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night, that men may bring to you the wealth of the nations, and their kings led captive.

Your elder sister is Samaria, who dwells at your left hand, she and her daughters; and your younger sister, who dwells at your right hand, is Sodom with her daughters.

A vision appeared to Paul in the night. There was a man of Macedonia standing, begging him, and saying,“ Come over into Macedonia and help us.”

Then what advantage does the Jew have? Or what is the profit of circumcision?Much in every way! Because first of all, they were entrusted with the revelations of God.

“ Arise, shine; for your light has come, and Yahweh’s glory has risen on you.For, behold, darkness will cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but Yahweh will arise on you, and his glory shall be seen on you.Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.“ Lift up your eyes all around, and see: they all gather themselves together. They come to you. Your sons will come from far away, and your daughters will be carried in arms.Then you shall see and be radiant, and your heart will thrill and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea will be turned to you. The wealth of the nations will come to you.

Your two breasts are like two fawns that are twins of a roe, which feed among the lilies.

I am a wall, and my breasts like towers, then I was in his eyes like one who found peace.

I caused you to multiply as that which grows in the field, and you increased and grew great, and you attained to excellent ornament. Your breasts were formed, and your hair grew; yet you were naked and bare.

I have other sheep, which are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice. They will become one flock with one shepherd.

His name endures forever. His name continues as long as the sun. Men shall be blessed by him. All nations will call him blessed.Praise be to Yahweh God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds.Blessed be his glorious name forever! Let the whole earth be filled with his glory! Amen and amen.

Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,a devout man, and one who feared God with all his house, who gave gifts for the needy generously to the people, and always prayed to God.At about the ninth hour of the day, he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God coming to him, and saying to him,“ Cornelius!”He, fastening his eyes on him, and being frightened, said,“ What is it, Lord?” He said to him,“ Your prayers and your gifts to the needy have gone up for a memorial before God.Now send men to Joppa, and get Simon, who is also called Peter.He is staying with a tanner named Simon, whose house is by the seaside.When the angel who spoke to him had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier of those who waited on him continually.Having explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.Now on the next day as they were on their journey, and got close to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray at about noon.He became hungry and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance.He saw heaven opened and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet let down by four corners on the earth,in which were all kinds of four- footed animals of the earth, wild animals, reptiles, and birds of the sky.A voice came to him,“ Rise, Peter, kill and eat!”But Peter said,“ Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.”A voice came to him again the second time,“ What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean.”This was done three times, and immediately the vessel was received up into heaven.Now while Peter was very perplexed in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon’s house, stood before the gate,and called and asked whether Simon, who was also called Peter, was lodging there.While Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him,“ Behold, three men seek you.But arise, get down, and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.”Peter went down to the men, and said,“ Behold, I am he whom you seek. Why have you come?”They said,“ Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man and one who fears God, and well spoken of by all the nation of the Jews, was directed by a holy angel to invite you to his house, and to listen to what you say.”So he called them in and provided a place to stay. On the next day Peter arose and went out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him.On the next day they entered into Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and his near friends.When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and worshiped him.But Peter raised him up, saying,“ Stand up! I myself am also a man.”As he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered together.He said to them,“ You yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man who is a Jew to join himself or come to one of another nation, but God has shown me that I shouldn’t call any man unholy or unclean.Therefore I also came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send for me?”Cornelius said,“ Four days ago, I was fasting until this hour, and at the ninth hour, I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,and said,‘ Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your gifts to the needy are remembered in the sight of God.Send therefore to Joppa, and summon Simon, who is also called Peter. He is staying in the house of a tanner named Simon, by the seaside. When he comes, he will speak to you.’Therefore I sent to you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God to hear all things that have been commanded you by God.”Peter opened his mouth and said,“ Truly I perceive that God doesn’t show favoritism;but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching good news of peace by Jesus Christ— he is Lord of all—you yourselves know what happened, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;even Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.We are witnesses of everything he did both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they also killed, hanging him on a tree.God raised him up the third day, and gave him to be revealed,not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen before by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that this is he who is appointed by God as the Judge of the living and the dead.All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins.”While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who heard the word.They of the circumcision who believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was also poured out on the Gentiles.For they heard them speaking in other languages and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,“ Can anyone forbid these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just like us.”He commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay some days.Now the apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.When Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him,saying,“ You went in to uncircumcised men, and ate with them!”But Peter began, and explained to them in order, saying,“ I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision: a certain container descending, like it was a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners. It came as far as me.When I had looked intently at it, I considered, and saw the four- footed animals of the earth, wild animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky.I also heard a voice saying to me,‘ Rise, Peter, kill and eat!’But I said,‘ Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.’But a voice answered me the second time out of heaven,‘ What God has cleansed, don’t you call unclean.’This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.Behold, immediately three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me.The Spirit told me to go with them, without discriminating. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered into the man’s house.He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and saying to him,‘ Send to Joppa, and get Simon, who is called Peter,who will speak to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.’As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said,‘ John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit.’If then God gave to them the same gift as us, when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God?”When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying,“ Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life!”

He shows his word to Jacob, his statutes and his ordinances to Israel.He has not done this for just any nation. They don’t know his ordinances. Praise Yah!

delivering you from the people, and from the Gentiles, to whom I send you,to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’

and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written,“ Therefore I will give praise to you among the Gentiles and sing to your name.”Again he says,“ Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.”Again,“ Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Let all the peoples praise him.”Again, Isaiah says,“ There will be the root of Jesse, he who arises to rule over the Gentiles; in him the Gentiles will hope.”

So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God,being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone;in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.

Your two breasts are like two fawns, that are twins of a roe.

For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich to all who call on him.For,“ Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher?And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written:“ How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Good News of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!”

Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed, when you receive your sisters, your elder sisters and your younger; and I will give them to you for daughters, but not by your covenant.

You will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of your sister Samaria.

that you were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world.But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of separation,having abolished in his flesh the hostility, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, making peace,

Simeon has reported how God first visited the nations to take out of them a people for his name.This agrees with the words of the prophets. As it is written,‘ After these things I will return. I will again build the tabernacle of David, which has fallen. I will again build its ruins. I will set it upthat the rest of men may seek after the Lord; all the Gentiles who are called by my name, says the Lord, who does all these things.’

This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness with the angel that spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, who received living revelations to give to us,
