Sivu 48 - When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink water...
Sivu 48 - And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments. 29 ^f And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses...
Sivu 47 - And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables.
Sivu 47 - And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there : and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written ; that thou mayest teach them.
Sivu 47 - And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.

Sivu 48 - And the Lord delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of God ; and on them was written according to all the words, which the Lord spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.
Sivu 124 - Why so, Madam ? Q. You know I have an aversion to idolatry, to images and pictures of this kind. D. Wherein is the idolatry, may it please your Majesty ? Q. In the cuts resembling Angels and Saints ; nay, grosser absurdities, pictures resembling the Blessed Trinity.
Sivu 56 - But the LORD hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as ye are this day.
