7. Neither give place to the devil,
Eph. iv. 27. Put on the whole armour
of God, that ye may be able to stand
against the wiles of the devil, vi. 11.
Forasmuch then as the children are
partakers of flesh and blood, he also
himself likewise took part of the
same; that through death he might
destroy him that had the power of
death, that is, the devil, Heb. ii. 14.
Submit yourselves therefore to God,
resist the devil, and he will flee from
you, James iv. 7. Be sober, be vigi-
lant; because your adversary the de-
vil, as a roaring lion, walketh about
seeking whom he may devour, 1 Pet.
v. 8. He that committeth sin is of
the devil; for the devil sinneth from
the beginning. For this purpose the
Son of God was manifested, that he
might destroy the works of the devil,
1 John iii. 8. Yet Michael the Arch-
angel, when contending with the de-
vil he disputed about the body of
Moses, durst not bring against him a
railing accusation, but said, the Lord
rebuke thee, Jude 9. Behold, the
devil shall cast some of you into pri-
son, that ye may be tried; and ye
shall have tribulation ten days, Rev.
ii. 10. And the great dragon was
cast out, that old serpent, called the
Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the
whole world: he was cast out into
the earth, and his angels were cast out
with him, xii. 9. Woe to the inha-
biters of the earth and of the sea! for
the devil is come down unto you, hav-
ing great wrath, because he knoweth
that he hath but a short time. And
when the dragon saw that he was
cast unto the earth, he persecuted the
woman which brought forth the man
child, 12, 13. And the serpent cast out
of his mouth water as a flood after
the woman, that he might cause her to
be carried away of the flood, 15. And
the dragon was wroth with the wo-
man, and went to make war with the
remnant of her seed, which keep the
commandments of God, and have the
testimony of Jesus Christ, 17. And

Καὶ νηστεύσας ἡμέρας τεσσαράκοντα καὶ νύκτας τεσσαράκοντα, ὕστερον ἐπείνασε. And when he had a fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.

a And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and gat him up into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights, Exod. xxiv. 18. And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread nor drink water, and he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments, xxxiv. 28. When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat breadnor drink water, Deut. ix. 9. And I fell down before the LORD as at the first forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger, 18. Thus I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first: because the LORD had said he would destroy you, 25. And he arose and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God, 1 Kings xix. 8. And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts, Mark i. 13. Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered, Luke iv. 2.

b Now in the morning, as he returned into the city, he hungered, Luke xxi. 18. And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry, Mark xi. 12. Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy

him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God to make reconciliation for the sins of the people, Heb. ii. 14-17.

b And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of

Luke iv. 3. 9.

VER. 4.

And the LORD said unto Satan, the helmet of salvation, and the sword Behold all that he hath is in thy of the Spirit, which is the word of power; only upon himself put not God, Eph. vi. 17. forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD, Job i. 9-12. And Satan answered the LORD, and said, skin for skin, yea all that a man hath will he give for his life. But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face. And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold he is in thine hand; but save his life. So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown, ii. 4. 7. And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you that he may you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren, Luke xxii. 31, 32. For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in

b And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live, Deut. viii. 3. And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God, Luke iv. 4.

b And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many, Matt. xxvii. 53. And the rulers of the people dwelt at Jerusalem: the rest of the people also cast lots, to bring one of ten to dwell in Jerusalem the holy city, and nine parts to dwell in other cities, Neh. xi. 1. For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; The LORD of hosts is his name, Isa. xlviii. 2. AWAKE, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean, lii. 1. O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all that are about us, Dan. ix. 16. Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, &c. ver. 24. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months, Rev. xi. 2.

And Haman told them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things wherein the king had promoted him; and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king, Esth. v. 11. Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased; For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away; his glory shall not descend after him, Ps. xlix. 16, 17.

By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompense of the reward, Heb. xi. 24-26.
