Stuff!


The King James Version uses ‘stuff.’ The NKJV uses other words.

 

Mo. 1/20/14: Joshua 7:11    What was done with the cursed things?

Israel has sinned, and they have also transgressed My covenant which I commanded them. For they have even taken some of the accursed things, and have both stolen and deceived; and they have also put it among their own stuff.

What was done with the cursed things? Israel (Aiken) hid the loot among his own stuff.

 

Tu. 1/21/14: 1 Samuel 10:22                                           Where was Saul?

Therefore they inquired of the Lord further, “Has the man come here yet?” And the Lord answered, “There he is, hidden among the equipment (stuff).”

Where was Saul? God told Samuel that Saul hid himself among the stuff!

 

We. 1/22/14: 1 Samuel 25:13           Were the supplies unprotected?

Then David said to his men, “Every man gird on his sword.” So every man girded on his sword, and David also girded on his sword. And about four hundred men went with David, and two hundred stayed with the supplies (stuff).

Were the supplies unprotected? No, David left 200 soldiers to protect the stuff.

 

Th. 1/23/14: Nehemiah 13:8                             What did Nehemiah do?

And it grieved me bitterly; therefore I threw all the household goods (stuff) of Tobiah out of the room.

What did Nehemiah do? Nehemiah emptied the Temple chambers of Tobiah’s stuff.

 

Fr. 1/24/14: Luke 17:31                         What was the Lord’s warning?

“In that day, he who is on the housetop, and his goods (stuff) are in the house, let him not come down to take them away. And likewise the one who is in the field, let him not turn back.

What was the Lord’s warning? In the day of Jacob’s trouble, lives should be saved, not stuff.
