Leviticus 6:2“If someone sins and acts unfaithfully against the LORD by deceiving his neighbor in regard to a deposit or security entrusted to him or stolen, or if he extorts his neighborLeviticus 6:4once he has sinned and becomes guilty, he must return what he has stolen or taken by extortion, or the deposit entrusted to him, or the lost property he found,Leviticus 6:5or anything else about which he has sworn falsely. He must make restitution in full, add a fifth of the value, and pay it to the owner on the day he acknowledges his guilt.Leviticus 6:6Then he must bring to the priest his guilt offering to the LORD: an unblemished ram of proper value from the flock.Leviticus 6:7In this way the priest will make atonement for him before the LORD, and he will be forgiven for anything he may have done to incur guilt.”Numbers 18:19All the holy offerings that the Israelites present to the LORD I give to you and to your sons and daughters as a permanent statute. It is a permanent covenant of salt before the LORD for you and your offspring.”Joshua 9:3But the people of Gibeon, having heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and Ai,Joshua 9:4acted deceptively and set out as envoys, carrying on their donkeys worn-out sacks and old wineskins, cracked and mended.Joshua 9:5They put worn, patched sandals on their feet and threadbare clothing on their bodies, and their whole supply of bread was dry and moldy.Joshua 9:6They went to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal and said to him and the men of Israel, “We have come from a distant land; please make a treaty with us.”Joshua 9:7But the men of Israel said to the Hivites, “Perhaps you dwell near us. How can we make a treaty with you?”Joshua 9:8“We are your servants,” they said to Joshua. Then Joshua asked them, “Who are you and where have you come from?”Joshua 9:9“Your servants have come from a very distant land,” they replied, “because of the fame of the LORD your God. For we have heard the reports about Him: all that He did in Egypt,Joshua 9:15And Joshua made a treaty of peace with them to let them live, and the leaders of the congregation swore an oath to them.Joshua 9:16Three days after they had made the treaty with the Gibeonites, the Israelites learned that they were neighbors, living among them.Joshua 9:18But the Israelites did not attack them, because the leaders of the congregation had sworn an oath to them by the LORD, the God of Israel. And the whole congregation grumbled against the leaders.Joshua 9:19All the leaders answered, “We have sworn an oath to them by the LORD, the God of Israel, and now we cannot touch them.Joshua 9:20This is how we will treat them: We will let them live, so that no wrath will fall on us because of the oath we swore to them.”Joshua 9:21They continued, “Let them live, but let them be woodcutters and water carriers for the whole congregation.” So the leaders kept their promise.Joshua 9:22Then Joshua summoned the Gibeonites and said, “Why did you deceive us by telling us you live far away from us, when in fact you live among us?Joshua 9:23Now therefore you are under a curse and will perpetually serve as woodcutters and water carriers for the house of my God.”Joshua 9:24The Gibeonites answered, “Your servants were told clearly that the LORD your God had commanded His servant Moses to give you all the land and wipe out all its inhabitants before you. So we greatly feared for our lives because of you, and that is why we have done this.Joshua 9:25Now we are in your hands. Do to us whatever seems good and right to you.”Joshua 9:26So Joshua did this and delivered them from the hands of the Israelites, and they did not kill the Gibeonites.Joshua 9:27On that day he made them woodcutters and water carriers, as they are to this day for the congregation of the LORD and for the altar at the place He would choose.Ruth 4:1Meanwhile, Boaz went to the gate and sat down there. Soon the kinsman-redeemer of whom he had spoken came along, and Boaz said, “Come over here, my friend, and sit down.” So he went over and sat down.Ruth 4:2Then Boaz took ten of the elders of the city and said, “Sit here,” and they did so.Ruth 4:6The kinsman-redeemer replied, “I cannot redeem it myself, or I would jeopardize my own inheritance. Take my right of redemption, because I cannot redeem it.”Ruth 4:7Now in former times in Israel, concerning the redemption or exchange of property, to make any matter legally binding a man would remove his sandal and give it to the other party, and this was a confirmation in Israel.Ruth 4:8So the kinsman-redeemer removed his sandal and said to Boaz, “Buy it for yourself.”1 Samuel 18:4And Jonathan removed the robe he was wearing and gave it to David, along with his tunic, his sword, his bow, and his belt.1 Kings 5:9My servants will haul the logs from Lebanon to the Sea, and I will float them as rafts by sea to the place you specify. There I will separate the logs, and you can take them away. And in exchange, you can meet my needs by providing my household with food.”1 Kings 5:10So Hiram provided Solomon with all the cedar and cypress timber he wanted,1 Kings 5:11and year after year Solomon would provide Hiram with 20,000 cors of wheat as food for his household, as well as 20,000 baths of pure olive oil.1 Kings 9:11King Solomon gave twenty towns in the land of Galilee to Hiram king of Tyre, who had supplied him with cedar and cypress logs and gold for his every desire.1 Chronicles 16:16the covenant He made with Abraham, and the oath He swore to Isaac.Proverbs 6:1My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, if you have struck hands in pledge with a stranger,Proverbs 11:21Be assured that the wicked will not go unpunished, but the offspring of the righteous will escape.Proverbs 17:18A man lacking judgment strikes hands in pledge and puts up security for his neighbor.Proverbs 22:26Do not be one who gives pledges, who puts up security for debts.Jeremiah 32:10I signed and sealed the deed, called in witnesses, and weighed out the silver on the scales.Jeremiah 32:11Then I took the deed of purchase—the sealed copy with its terms and conditions, as well as the open copy—Jeremiah 32:12and I gave this deed to Baruch son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the sight of my cousin Hanamel and the witnesses who were signing the purchase agreement and all the Jews sitting in the courtyard of the guard.Jeremiah 32:13In their sight I instructed Baruch,Jeremiah 32:14“This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Take these deeds—both the sealed copy and the open copy of the deed of purchase—and put them in a clay jar to preserve them for a long time.Jeremiah 32:15For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Houses, fields, and vineyards will again be bought in this land.”Matthew 20:1“For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.Matthew 20:2He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them into his vineyard.Matthew 20:3About the third hour he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing.Matthew 20:4‘You also go into my vineyard,’ he said, ‘and I will pay you whatever is right.’Matthew 20:5So they went. He went out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour and did the same thing.Matthew 20:6About the eleventh hour he went out and found still others standing around. ‘Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?’ he asked.Matthew 20:7‘Because no one has hired us,’ they answered. So he told them, ‘You also go into my vineyard.’Matthew 20:8When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, starting with the last ones hired and moving on to the first.’Matthew 20:9The workers who were hired about the eleventh hour came and each received a denarius.Matthew 20:10So when the original workers came, they assumed they would receive more. But each of them also received a denarius.Matthew 20:11On receiving their pay, they began to grumble against the landowner.Matthew 20:12‘These men who were hired last worked only one hour,’ they said, ‘and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the scorching heat of the day.’Matthew 20:13But he answered one of them, ‘Friend, I am not being unfair to you. Did you not agree with me on one denarius?Matthew 20:14Take your pay and go. I want to give this last man the same as I gave you.
