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, and without a teaching priest and without 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 so you can teach the Israelites all the decrees the Lord has given them through Moses.”

All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law.

For the Israelites will live many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred stones, without ephod or household gods.

After seeking advice, the king made two golden calves. He said to the people,“ It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem. Here are your gods, Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.”One he set up in Bethel, and the other in Dan.And this thing became a sin; the people came to worship the one at Bethel and went as far as Dan to worship the other.Jeroboam built shrines on high places and appointed priests from all sorts of people, even though they were not Levites.He instituted a festival on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, like the festival held in Judah, and offered sacrifices on the altar. This he did in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves he had made. And at Bethel he also installed priests at the high places he had made.On the fifteenth day of the eighth month, a month of his own choosing, he offered sacrifices on the altar he had built at Bethel. So he instituted the festival for the Israelites and went up to the altar to make offerings.

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

To those not having the law I became like one not having the law( though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law), so as to win those not having the law.

“ For the lips of a priest ought to preserve knowledge, because he is the messenger of the Lord Almighty and people seek instruction from his mouth.

When he had called together all the people’s chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Messiah was to be born.“ In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied,“ for this is what the prophet has written:

But the Lord is the true God; he is the living God, the eternal King. When he is angry, the earth trembles; the nations cannot endure his wrath.

He teaches your precepts to Jacob and your law to Israel. He offers incense before you and whole burnt offerings on your altar.

Then Nehemiah the governor, Ezra the priest and teacher of the Law, and the Levites who were instructing the people said to them all,“ This day is holy to the Lord your God. Do not mourn or weep.” For all the people had been weeping as they listened to the words of the Law.

for they themselves report what kind of reception you gave us. They tell how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God,

With them were certain Levites— Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah and Tob-Adonijah— and the priests Elishama and Jehoram.They taught throughout Judah, taking with them the Book of the Law of the Lord; they went around to all the towns of Judah and taught the people.

No priest is to drink wine when he enters the inner court.They must not marry widows or divorced women; they may marry only virgins of Israelite descent or widows of priests.They are to 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 the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead.Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died.

Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self- controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,

Her leaders judge for a bribe, her priests teach for a price, and her prophets tell fortunes for money. Yet they look for the Lord’s support and say,“ Is not the Lord among us? No disaster will come upon us.”
