For a long time Israel was without the true God, without a priest to teach and without the law.

For a long time Israel didn’t worship the true God. They didn’t have a priest who taught them. So they didn’t know God’s law.

For a long time Israel was without the true God, without a priest to teach them, and without the Law to instruct them.

For many years Israel has been without the true God, without a teaching priest, and without instruction,

For many days Israel was without the true God and without a teaching priest and without the Law.

For a long time Israel has been without the true God, without a teaching priest, and without law;

Now for a long season Israel was without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law:

For many years Israel has been without the true God, without a teaching priest, and without instruction,

Now for a long season Israel[ hath been] without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.

For a long time Israel had no true God, or priest to instruct them, or law.

Now for a long time Israel was without the true God, without a teaching priest, and without law.

and you are to teach the people of Israel all the statutes that the Lord has spoken to them by Moses.”

For all who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.

For the children of Israel shall dwell many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or pillar, without ephod or household gods.

So the king took counsel and made two calves of gold. And he said to the people,“ You have gone up to Jerusalem long enough. Behold your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.”And he set one in Bethel, and the other he put in Dan.Then this thing became a sin, for the people went as far as Dan to be before one.He also made temples on high places and appointed priests from among all the people, who were not of the Levites.And Jeroboam appointed a feast on the fifteenth day of the eighth month like the feast that was in Judah, and he offered sacrifices on the altar. So he did in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves that he made. And he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places that he had made.He went up to the altar that he had made in Bethel on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, in the month that he had devised from his own heart. And he instituted a feast for the people of Israel and went up to the altar to make offerings.

And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.

To those outside the law I became as one outside the law( not being outside the law of God but under the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law.

For the lips of a priest should guard knowledge, and people should seek instruction from his mouth, for he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts.

and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.They told him,“ In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet:

But the Lord is the true God; he is the living God and the everlasting King. At his wrath the earth quakes, and the nations cannot endure his indignation.

They shall teach Jacob your rules and Israel your law; they shall put incense before you and whole burnt offerings on your altar.

And Nehemiah, who was the governor, and Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people said to all the people,“ This day is holy to the Lord your God; do not mourn or weep.” For all the people wept as they heard the words of the Law.

For they themselves report concerning us the kind of reception we had among you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God,

and with them the Levites, Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tobadonijah; and with these Levites, the priests Elishama and Jehoram.And they taught in Judah, having the Book of the Law of the Lord with them. They went about through all the cities of Judah and taught among the people.

No priest shall drink wine when he enters the inner court.They shall not marry a widow or a divorced woman, but only virgins of the offspring of the house of Israel, or a widow who is the widow of a priest.They shall teach my people the difference between the holy and the common, and show them how to distinguish between the unclean and the clean.

But sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. For apart from the law, sin lies dead.I was once alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin came alive and I died.

Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,

Its heads give judgment for a bribe; its priests teach for a price; its prophets practice divination for money; yet they lean on the Lord and say,“ Is not the Lord in the midst of us? No disaster shall come upon us.”
