Joshua 14:6-14 NIV

6 Now the people of Judah approached Joshua at Gilgal, and Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, “You know what the Lord said to Moses the man of God at Kadesh Barnea about you and me. 7 I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh Barnea to explore the land. And I brought him back a report according to my convictions, 8 but my fellow Israelites who went up with me made the hearts of the people melt in fear. I, however, followed the Lord my God wholeheartedly. 9 So on that day Moses swore to me, ‘The land on which your feet have walked will be your inheritance and that of your children forever, because you have followed the Lord my God wholeheartedly.’ 10 “Now then, just as the Lord promised, he has kept me alive for forty-five years since the time he said this to Moses, while Israel moved about in the wilderness. So here I am today, eighty-five years old! 11 I am still as strong today as the day Moses sent me out; I’m just as vigorous to go out to battle now as I was then. 12 Now give me this hill country that the Lord promised me that day. You yourself heard then that the Anakites were there and their cities were large and fortified, but, the Lord helping me, I will drive them out just as he said.” 13 Then Joshua blessed Caleb son of Jephunneh and gave him Hebron as his inheritance. 14 So Hebron has belonged to Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite ever since, because he followed the Lord, the God of Israel, wholeheartedly.

JOSHUA 2:1-20 NIV

1 Then Joshua son of Nun secretly sent two spies from Shittim. “Go, look over the land,” he said, “especially Jericho.” So they went and entered the house of a prostitute named Rahab and stayed there.2 The king of Jericho was told, “Look! Some of the Israelites have come here tonight to spy out the land.”3 So the king of Jericho sent this message to Rahab: “Bring out the men who came to you and entered your house, because they have come to spy out the whole land.”4 But the woman had taken the two men and hidden them. She said, “Yes, the men came to me, but I did not know where they had come from.5 At dusk, when it was time to close the city gate, the men left. I don’t know which way they went. Go after them quickly. You may catch up with them.”6 (But she had taken them up to the roof and hidden them under the stalks of flax she had laid out on the roof.)7 So the men set out in pursuit of the spies on the road that leads to the fords of the Jordan, and as soon as the pursuers had gone out, the gate was shut.8 Before the spies lay down for the night, she went up on the roof9 and said to them, “I know that the LORD has given this land to you and that a great fear of you has fallen on us, so that all who live in this country are melting in fear because of you.10 We have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea for you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to Sihon and Og, the two kings of the Amorites east of the Jordan, whom you completely destroyed.11 When we heard of it, our hearts melted and everyone’s courage failed because of you, for the LORD your God is God in heaven above and on the earth below.12 Now then, please swear to me by the LORD that you will show kindness to my family, because I have shown kindness to you. Give me a sure sign13 that you will spare the lives of my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all who belong to them, and that you will save us from death.”14 “Our lives for your lives!” the men assured her. “If you don’t tell what we are doing, we will treat you kindly and faithfully when the LORD gives us the land.”15 So she let them down by a rope through the window, for the house she lived in was part of the city wall.16 Now she had said to them, “Go to the hills so the pursuers will not find you. Hide yourselves there three days until they return, and then go on your way.”17 The men said to her, “This oath you made us swear will not be binding on us18 unless, when we enter the land, you have tied this scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down, and unless you have brought your father and mother, your brothers and all your family into your house.19 If anyone goes outside your house into the street, his blood will be on his own head; we will not be responsible. As for anyone who is in the house with you, his blood will be on our head if a hand is laid on him.20 But if you tell what we are doing, we will be released from the oath you made us swear.”

JOSUE 2:1-14 (Ang Biblia)

1 Ug si Josue nga anak ni Nun nagsugo sa hilom ug duha ka tawo ingon nga tigpaniid gikan sa Sitim ug miingon, “Panglakaw kamo, tan-awa ang yuta, ilabi na ang Jerico.” Ug sila nanglakaw ug miadto sa balay sa usa ka babaye nga nagbaligya sa iyang dungog nga ginganlan ug Rahab ug mipabilin sila didto.

2 Ug gisuginlan ang hari sa Jerico, “Tan-awa, may mga tawo sa Israel nga miabot dinhi karong gabii aron sa pagsusi sa yuta.” 3 Ug ang hari sa Jerico nagpasugo ngadto kang Rahab nga nag-ingon, “Pagulaa ang mga tawo nga mianhi kanimo, nga misulod sa imong balay kay mianhi sila aron sa pagsusi sa tibuok yuta.”

4 Apan ang babaye mikuha sa duha ka tawo ug gitagoan niya sila ug siya miingon, “Tinuod, may mga tawo nga mianhi kanako apan wala ako mahibalo kon diin sila gikan.

5 Ug sa diha nga hapit na takpi ang ganghaan sa pagkangitngit, ang mga tawo nanggula. Wala ako masayod kon diin sila paingon. Gukda dayon ninyo sila kay inyo silang maapsan.”

6 Apan iyang gidala sila ngadto sa atop sa balay ug gitagoan sila sa mga dagami sa tanom nga himoonog lino nga iyang gipahimutang sa ibabaw sa atop. 7 Busa ang mga tawo migukod kanila sa dalan padulong sa Jordan hangtod sa tabokanan ug sa nakagula na ang mga naggukod kanila, gitakpan nila ang ganghaan

8 Sa wala pa sila manghigda, si Rahab miadto kanila sa atop 9 ug miingon siya sa mga tawo, “Ako nahibalo nga ang Ginoo naghatag kaninyo sa yuta ug nga ang pagkahadlok kaninyo miabot kanamo ug nga ang tanang mga nagpuyo sa tibuok yuta natunaw sa inyong atubangan.

10 Kay kami nakadungog kon giunsa sa Ginoo pagpauga ang mga tubig sa Dagat nga Pula sa inyong atubangan sa diha nga nanggula kamo gikan sa Ehipto, ug unsa ang inyong gibuhat sa duha ka hari nga Amorihanon nga didto sa tabok sa Jordan, kang Sihon ug kang Og nga inyong gipanglaglag sa hingpit.

11 Ug sa among pagkabati niini, ang among mga kasingkasing nangatunaw ug walay kaisog nga nagpabilin kang bisan kinsa nga tawo tungod kaninyo kay ang Ginoo nga inyong Dios mao ang Dios sa langit sa itaas ug sa yuta sa ubos.

12 Busa karon, panumpa kamo kanako sa ngalan sa Ginoo, ingon nga ako naghatag kaninyo ug maayong pagtagad, kamo usab kinahanglang maluoy sa panimalay sa akong amahan, ug hatagi ako ug usa ka tino nga ilhanan.

13 Luwasa nga buhi ang akong amahan ug ang akong inahan, ang akong mga igsoong lalaki ug mga igsoong babaye ug ang tanan nga nasakop kanila ug luwasa ang among kinabuhi gikan sa kamatayon.”

14 Ug ang mga tawo miingon kang Rahab, “Ang among mga kinabuhi alang kanimo kon dili nimo ipanulti kining among buluhaton, magmaluluy-on kami ug magmatinumanon kanimo sa diha nga ang Ginoo maghatag na kanamo sa yuta.”

19 Kay wala nako buhata ang maayo nga akong gitinguha, apan ang daotan nga wala nako tinguhaa maoy akong gibuhat.

25 Salamat sa Dios pinaagi kang Jesu-Cristo nga atong Ginoo! Busa pinaagi sa akong salabotan ako gayod nag-alagad sa balaod sa Dios apan diha sa akong lawas ako nag-alagad sa balaod sa sala.

Ug iyang gibahin ang iyang mga tawo nga diha uban kaniya ug ang mga panon sa kahayopan ug ang mga baka ug ang mga kamilyo ngadto sa duha ka pundok.8 Naghunahuna siya, “Kon moanhi si Esau ug patyon ang usa ka pundok, ang nahibiling pundok makaikyas.”

Now I am sending this message to my lord, that I may find favor in your eyes.’”6 When the messengers returned to Jacob, they said, “We went to your brother Esau, and now he is coming to meet you, and four hundred men are with him.”7 In great fear and distress Jacob divided the people who were with him into two groups, and the flocks and herds and camels as well.8 He thought, “If Esau comes and attacks one group, the group that is left may escape.”

Ug karon kanus-a man ako magtagana alang usab sa akong kaugalingon nga panimalay?”31 Siya miingon, “Unsa bay ihatag nako kanimo?” Si Jacob miingon, “Dili ka maghatag kanako ug bisan unsa. Kon buhaton mo kini alang kanako, magpasibsib na usab ako sa imong mga karnero ug mag-atiman niini.32 Hinuon paadtoa ako karon sa tanan nimong panon sa mga kahayopan ug kuhaon nako ang tanan nga kabang ug puntikpuntik nga mga karnero ug ang tanan nga itom nga mga nating karnero ug ang mga puntikpuntik ug kabang nga mga kanding ug kini mao ang akong suhol.33 Busa ang akong pagkamatinud-anon manubag unya alang kanako sa dihang tan-awon nimo ang akong suhol sa imong atubangan.Ang tanan nga dili puntikpuntik o kabang sa mga kanding, ug ang dili itom sa mga nating karnero nga makit-an nimo uban kanako isipon nga akong kinawat.” 34 Ug si Laban miingon, “Maayo!

Kay magtakmagay man sila inigpanginom nila,39 nagtakmagay ang mga hayop didto sa atubangan sa mga sanga, busa ang mga kahayopan nanganak ug mga binadlisan, mga puntikpuntik ug mga kabang.40 Ug gilain ni Jacob ang mga nating karnero ug iyang gipaatubang ang mga nawong sa mga panon sa kahayopan ngadto sa mga kabang ug sa tanan nga itom sa panon ni Laban. Ug iyang gilain pagbutang ang iyang panon ug wala itipon uban sa mga kahayopan ni Laban.41 Ug sa diha nga magtakmagay na ang mga himsog nga kahayopan, ibutang ni Jacob ang mga sanga sa atubangan sa mga hayop didto sa imnanan aron nga magtakmagay sila didto sa nahimutangan sa mga sanga.42 Apan sa mga luya sa panon sa kahayopan dili niya kini ibutang, mao nga ang mga luya iya ni Laban ug ang mga himsog iya ni Jacob.43 Busa ang tawo midato pag-ayo ug nakabaton ug dagkong mga panon sa mga kahayopan, ug mga ulipon nga babaye ug mga ulipon nga lalaki ug mga kamilyo ug mga asno.

GENESIS 29:1-10 NIV

1 Then Jacob continued on his journey and came to the land of the eastern peoples.2 There he saw a well in the field, with three flocks of sheep lying near it because the flocks were watered from that well. The stone over the mouth of the well was large.3 When all the flocks were gathered there, the shepherds would roll the stone away from the well’s mouth and water the sheep. Then they would return the stone to its place over the mouth of the well.4 Jacob asked the shepherds, “My brothers, where are you from?” “We’re from Haran,” they replied.5 He said to them, “Do you know Laban, Nahor’s grandson?” “Yes, we know him,” they answered.6 Then Jacob asked them, “Is he well?” “Yes, he is,” they said, “and here comes his daughter Rachel with the sheep.”7 “Look,” he said, “the sun is still high; it is not time for the flocks to be gathered. Water the sheep and take them back to pasture.”8 “We can’t,” they replied, “until all the flocks are gathered and the stone has been rolled away from the mouth of the well. Then we will water the sheep.”9 While he was still talking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep, for she was a shepherdess.10 When Jacob saw Rachel daughter of Laban, his mother’s brother, and Laban’s sheep, he went over and rolled the stone away from the mouth of the well and watered his uncle’s sheep.

GENESIS 29:1-3 NIV

1 Then Jacob continued on his journey and came to the land of the eastern peoples.2 There he saw a well in the field, with three flocks of sheep lying near it because the flocks were watered from that well. The stone over the mouth of the well was large.3 When all the flocks were gathered there, the shepherds would roll the stone away from the well’s mouth and water the sheep. Then they would return the stone to its place over the mouth of the well.

4 Jacob asked the shepherds, “My brothers, where are you from?” “We’re from Haran,” they replied.5 He said to them, “Do you know Laban, Nahor’s grandson?” “Yes, we know him,” they answered.6 Then Jacob asked them, “Is he well?” “Yes, he is,” they said, “and here comes his daughter Rachel with the sheep.”7 “Look,” he said, “the sun is still high; it is not time for the flocks to be gathered.

He embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his home, and there Jacob told him all these things.14 Then Laban s

Sermon Notes:

Genesis 27:1-4 (Ang Biblia)

1 Sa diha nga tigulang na si Isaac ug ang iyang mga mata halap na, nga tungod niana dili na siya makakita, gitawag niya si Esau, ang iyang anak nga magulang ug siya miingon kaniya, “Anak ko,” ug siya mitubag, “Ania ako.”

Genesis 28:16 (Ang Biblia)

16 Unya nakamata si Jacob gikan sa iyang pagkatulog ug miingon, “Ang Ginoo ania gayod niining dapita ug ako wala mahibalo niini.

Ang Dios nagpanglihok pinaagi sa mga tawo nga dili perpekto.

Mga Taga-Filipos 2:13 (Ang Biblia)

13 kay ang Dios mao ang naglihok diha kaninyo, sa pagbuot ug sa pagbuhat alang sa iyang ikahimuot.

Gitagbo ni Jacob si Rachel.

Genesis 29: 1-3 (Ang Biblia)

1 Unya si Jacob mipadayon sa iyang panaw ug miabot sa yuta sa mga tawo sa silangan.2 Samtang milantaw siya, iyang nakita ang usa ka atabay diha sa patag, ug didtoy tulo ka panon sa mga karnero nga nanglubog duol niini kay gikan niining atabaya gipainom ang mga panon. Ug didtoy usa ka dakong bato sa baba sa atabay.3 Ug sa matigom na ang tanang mga panon ligiron sa mga tigbantay sa karnero ang bato gikan sa baba sa atabay ug paimnon nila ang mga karnero; unya iuli nila ang bato sa dapit niini sa ibabaw sa baba sa atabay.

Genesis 29: 4-8 (Ang Biblia)

4 Ug si Jacob miingon kanila, “Mga igsoon ko, taga-diin ba kamo?” Ug miingon sila, “Taga-Haran kami.” 5 Siya miingon kanila, “Nakaila ba kamo kang Laban nga anak ni Nahor?” Ug sila miingon, “Nakaila kami kaniya.”6 Siya miingon kanila, “Maayo ra ba siya?” Ug sila miingon, “Maayo man. Tan-awa si Raquel nga iyang anak nagpaingon nganhi uban sa mga karnero.”7 Siya miingon, “Tan-awa, taas pa ang adlaw ug dili pa panahon sa pagpundok sa kahayopan. Paimna ninyo ang mga karnero, ug lakaw, ug pasibsiba sila.”8 Apan sila miingon, “Dili kami makahimo hangtod nga ang tanang mga panon matigom ug ilang maligid ang bato gikan sa ibabaw sa baba sa atabay; unya mao pay pagpainom namo sa mga karnero.”

Genesis 29: 9-10 (Ang Biblia)

9 Samtang nagsulti pa siya kanila, miabot si Raquel uban ang mga karnero sa iyang amahan kay siya mao man ang nag-atiman niini.10 Sa pagkakita ni Jacob kang Raquel nga anak ni Laban nga igsoon sa iyang inahan, ug sa mga karnero ni Laban nga igsoon sa iyang inahan, miduol si Jacob ug giligid niya ang bato gikan sa baba sa atabay ug gipainom niya ang panon ni Laban nga igsoon sa iyang inahan.

Genesis 29:11 (Ang Biblia)

11 Unya si Jacob mihalok kang Raquel ug mihilak ug kusog.

Ngano man nihilak si Jacob?

Genesis 29:12-13 (Ang Biblia)

12 Ug si Jacob misugilon kang Raquel nga siya mao ang kadugo sa iyang amahan ug nga siya mao ang anak ni Rebecca. Ug midagan si Raquel ug misugilon niini sa iyang amahan.13 Sa pagkadungog ni Laban sa balita mahitungod kang Jacob, anak sa iyang igsoon nga babaye, midagan siya aron sa pagsugat kaniya. Ug gigakos niya si Jacob ug gihagkan ug gidala niya sa iyang balay. Ug si Jacob misugilon kang Laban sa tanan nga nahitabo.

Genesis 29:14-15 (Ang Biblia)

14 Ug si Laban miingon kaniya, “Sa pagkatinuod, ikaw akong bukog ug akong unod.” Ug si Jacob mipuyog usa ka bulan uban kaniya. 15 Unya si Laban miingon kang Jacob, “Tungod kay ikaw akong kadugo, angay ba diay nga ikaw mag-alagad kanako nga walay bayad? Sultihi ako kon unsa ang imong suhol?”

Giunsa pagsanong ni Jacob ang imbitasyon?

Genesis 29:16-19 (Ang Biblia)

16 Ug si Laban adunay duha ka anak nga babaye, ang ngalan sa magulang mao si Lea ug ang ngalan sa manghod mao si Raquel. 17 Ang mga mata ni Lea malomo apan si Raquel maanyag ug madanihon.18 Ug si Jacob nahigugma kang Raquel ug miingon siya, “Sulod sa pito ka tuig ako mag-alagad kanimo alang kang Raquel nga imong kamanghorang anak.” 19 U

Sermon Notes:

Genesis 28:10-22 (NIV)

10 Jacob left Beersheba and set out for Haran. 11 When he reached a certain place, he stopped for the night because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones there, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep. 12 He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. 13 There above it stood the Lord, and he said: “I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are lying. 14 Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south. All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring. 15 I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”16 When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.” 17 He was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven.”18 Early the next morning Jacob took the stone he had placed under his head and set it up as a pillar and poured oil on top of it. 19 He called that place Bethel, though the city used to be called Luz.20 Then Jacob made a vow, saying, “If God will be with me and will watch over me on this journey I am taking and will give me food to eat and clothes to wear 21 so that I return safely to my father’s house, then the Lord will be my God 22 and this stone that I have set up as a pillar will be God’s house, and of all that you give me I will give you a tenth.”
