  • Num 11:13-23 : 13 Where can I get meat for all these people? They keep crying to me, saying, ‘Give us meat to eat!’ 14 I cannot carry all these people by myself; the burden is too heavy for me. 15 If this is how You are going to treat me, please go ahead and kill me—if I have found favor in Your eyes—and do not let me see my misery. 16 The LORD said to Moses, 'Gather seventy men from the elders of Israel whom you know to be leaders of the people and their officials. Bring them to the Tent of Meeting, and have them stand there with you.' 17 I will come down and speak with you there, and I will take some of the Spirit that is on you and put it on them. They will help you bear the burden of the people, so that you do not have to bear it alone. 18 Tell the people: Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, and you will eat meat. The LORD heard you when you wailed, ‘If only we had meat to eat! We were better off in Egypt!’ Now the LORD will give you meat to eat, and you will eat it. 19 You will not eat it for just one day, or two days, or five, ten, or twenty days, 20 but for a whole month—until it comes out of your nostrils and becomes loathsome to you—because you have rejected the LORD, who is among you, and have wailed before Him, saying, ‘Why did we ever leave Egypt?’ 21 But Moses said, 'Here I am among six hundred thousand men on foot, and You say, ‘I will give them meat to eat for a whole month’? 22 Would they have enough if flocks and herds were slaughtered for them? Or if all the fish in the sea were gathered for them, would that be enough?' 23 The LORD answered Moses, 'Is the LORD’s arm too short? Now you will see whether or not what I say will come true for you.'
  • Jer 32:16-27 : 16 After I gave the deed of purchase to Baruch son of Neriah, I prayed to the LORD: 17 Ah, Lord GOD! You made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too difficult for You! 18 You show steadfast love to thousands, but You repay the iniquity of the fathers into the laps of their children after them. You are the great and mighty God, whose name is the LORD of Hosts. 19 You are great in counsel and mighty in deeds. Your eyes are open to all the ways of the sons of men, rewarding each person according to their ways and the fruit of their deeds. 20 You performed signs and wonders in the land of Egypt and continue to this day, both in Israel and among all mankind. You have made a name for Yourself that remains to this day. 21 You brought Your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, wonders, a strong hand, an outstretched arm, and great terror. 22 You gave them this land You swore to give to their ancestors, a land flowing with milk and honey. 23 They came in and took possession of it, but they did not obey Your voice or walk in Your law. They did not do what You commanded them to do, so You brought upon them all this disaster. 24 Look! Siege ramps have arrived to take the city, and it is handed over to the Chaldeans who are fighting against it because of the sword, the famine, and the plague. What You have spoken has come to pass, and You see it happening. 25 Yet You, O Lord GOD, said to me, 'Buy the field with silver and call witnesses,' even though the city is handed over to the Chaldeans. 26 The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying: 27 'Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all mankind.

    16Therefore, the promise comes by faith, that it may be according to grace, so that it might be guaranteed to all the offspring—not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who share the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all.

    17As it is written: 'I have made you a father of many nations.' He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed—the God who gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as though they were.

    18Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, 'So shall your offspring be.'

    19And without weakening in faith, he did not consider his own body, which was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—or the deadness of Sarah’s womb.

    9Is this blessedness then only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? For we say that faith was credited to Abraham as righteousness.

    10How then was it credited? Was it while he was circumcised or uncircumcised? It was not while he was circumcised, but while he was uncircumcised.

    11And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. So that he might be the father of all who believe without being circumcised, so that righteousness might also be credited to them,

    12and to be the father of the circumcised who are not only circumcised but also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.

    13For the promise to Abraham or his descendants that he would be heir of the world did not come through the law but through the righteousness of faith.
