Numbers 28:2-8
Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My oblation, my food for my offerings made by fire, of a sweet savor unto me, shall ye observe to offer unto me in their due season.And thou shalt say unto them, This is the offering made by fire which ye shall offer unto Jehovah: he- lambs a year old without blemish, two day by day, for a continual burnt- offering.The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at even;and the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meal- offering, mingled with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil.It is a continual burnt- offering, which was ordained in mount Sinai for a sweet savor, an offering made by fire unto Jehovah.And the drink- offering thereof shall be the fourth part of a hin for the one lamb: in the holy place shalt thou pour out a drink- offering of strong drink unto Jehovah.And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as the meal- offering of the morning, and as the drink- offering thereof, thou shalt offer it, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah.

Psalms 56:2-4
Mine enemies would swallow me up all the day long; For they are many that fight proudly against me.What time I am afraid, I will put my trust in thee.In God( I will praise his word), In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; What can flesh do unto me?

Ezra 4:11-16
This is the copy of the letter that they sent unto Artaxerxes the king: Thy servants the men beyond the River, and so forth.Be it known unto the king, that the Jews that came up from thee are come to us unto Jerusalem; they are building the rebellious and the bad city, and have finished the walls, and repaired the foundations.Be it known now unto the king, that, if this city be builded, and the walls finished, they will not pay tribute, custom, or toll, and in the end it will be hurtful unto the kings.Now because we eat the salt of the palace, and it is not meet for us to see the king’s dishonor, therefore have we sent and certified the king;that search may be made in the book of the records of thy fathers: so shalt thou find in the book of the records, and know that this city is a rebellious city, and hurtful unto kings and provinces, and that they have moved sedition within the same of old time; for which cause was this city laid waste.We certify the king that, if this city be builded, and the walls finished, by this means thou shalt have no portion beyond the River.

Ezra 8:21-22
Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek of him a straight way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance.For I was ashamed to ask of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way, because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all them that seek him, for good; but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him.

Exodus 29:38-42
Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar: two lambs a year old day by day continually.The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer at even:and with the one lamb a tenth part of an ephah of fine flour mingled with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil, and the fourth part of a hin of wine for a drink- offering.And the other lamb thou shalt offer at even, and shalt do thereto according to the meal- offering of the morning, and according to the drink- offering thereof, for a sweet savor, an offering made by fire unto Jehovah.It shall be a continual burnt- offering throughout your generations at the door of the tent of meeting before Jehovah, where I will meet with you, to speak there unto thee.
