aforetime And he had prepared for him a great chamber, where {aforetime} they laid the meat offerings, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the corn, the new wine, and the oil, which was commanded [to be given] to the Levites, a nd the singers, and the porters; and the offerings of the priests. aforetime He hath made me also a byword of the people; and {aforetime} I was as a tabret. aforetime For thus saith the Lord GOD, My people went down {aforetime} into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause. aforetime Their children also shall be as {aforetime}, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them. aforetime Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did { aforetime}. aforetime They brought to the Pharisees him that {aforetime} was blind. aforetime For whatsoever things were written {aforetime} were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. ~~~~~~
