Now these H428 are the nations H1471 which H834 the LORD H3068 left, H5117 to prove H5254 Israel H3478 by them, even as many of Israel as had not known H3045 all H3605 the wars H4421 of Canaan; H3667

Namely, five H2568 lords H5633 of the Philistines, H6430 and all H3605 the Canaanites, H3669 and the Sidonians, H6722 and the Hivites H2340 that dwelled H3427 in mount H2022 Lebanon, H3844 from mount H2022 Baalhermon H1179 to the entering H935 in of Hamath. H2574

And it came H1961 to pass after H310 these H428 things, H1697 that God H430 did tempt H5254 Abraham, H85 and said H559 to him, Abraham: H85 and he said, H559 Behold, H2009 here I am.

And you shall remember H2142 all H3605 the way H1870 which H834 the LORD H3068 your God H430 led H3212 you these H2088 forty H705 years H8141 in the wilderness, H4057 to humble H6031 you, and to prove H5254 you, to know H3045 what H853 H834 was in your heart, H3824 whether you would keep H8104 his commandments, H4687 or no. H3808

Who fed H398 you in the wilderness H4057 with manna, H4478 which H834 your fathers H1 knew H3045 not, that he might humble H6031 you, and that he might prove H5254 you, to do you good H3190 at your latter H319 end;

You shall not listen H8085 to the words H1697 of that prophet, H5030 or H176 that dreamer H2492 of dreams: H2472 for the LORD H3068 your God H430 proves H5254 you, to know H3045 whether you love H157 the LORD H3068 your God H430 with all H3605 your heart H3824 and with all H3605 your soul. H5315

However, H3651 in the business of the ambassadors H3887 of the princes H8269 of Babylon, H894 who sent H7971 to him to inquire H1875 of the wonder H4159 that was done in the land, H776 God H430 left H5800 him, to try H5254 him, that he might know H3045 all H3605 that was in his heart. H3824

But he knows H3045 the way H1870 that I take: H5978 when he has tried H974 me, I shall come H3318 forth H3318 as gold. H2091

For you, O God, H430 have proved H974 us: you have tried H6884 us, as silver H3701 is tried. H6884

The fining H4715 pot H4715 is for silver, H3701 and the furnace H3564 for gold: H2091 but the LORD H3068 tries H974 the hearts. H3826

But who H4310 may abide H3557 the day H3117 of his coming? H935 and who H4310 shall stand H5975 when he appears? H7200 for he is like a refiner's H6884 fire, H784 and like fullers' H3526 soap: H1287

And he shall sit H3427 as a refiner H6884 and purifier H2891 of silver: H3701 and he shall purify H2891 the sons H1121 of Levi, H3878 and purge H2212 them as gold H2091 and silver, H3701 that they may offer H5066 to the LORD H3068 an offering H4503 in righteousness. H6666
