'As It is Written' in the Bible

just as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded the sons of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of uncut stones on which no man had wielded an iron tool; and they offered burnt offerings on it to the Lord, and sacrificed peace offerings.

Then the king commanded all the people saying, “Celebrate the Passover to the Lord your God as it is written in this book of the covenant.”

Moreover, Jehoiada placed the offices of the house of the Lord under the authority of the Levitical priests, whom David had assigned over the house of the Lord, to offer the burnt offerings of the Lord, as it is written in the law of Moses—with rejoicing and singing according to the order of David.

However, he did not put their children to death, but did as it is written in the law in the book of Moses, which the Lord commanded, saying, “Fathers shall not be put to death for sons, nor sons be put to death for fathers, but each shall be put to death for his own sin.”

He also appointed the king’s portion of his goods for the burnt offerings, namely, for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the sabbaths and for the new moons and for the fixed festivals, as it is written in the law of the Lord.

Then they removed the burnt offerings that they might give them to the sections of the fathers’ households of the lay people to present to the Lord, as it is written in the book of Moses. They did this also with the bulls.

Then Jeshua the son of Jozadak and his brothers the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and his brothers arose and built the altar of the God of Israel to offer burnt offerings on it, as it is written in the law of Moses, the man of God.

They celebrated the Feast of Booths, as it is written, and offered the fixed number of burnt offerings daily, according to the ordinance, as each day required;

Then they appointed the priests to their divisions and the Levites in their orders for the service of God in Jerusalem, as it is written in the book of Moses.

So they proclaimed and circulated a proclamation in all their cities and in Jerusalem, saying, “Go out to the hills, and bring olive branches and wild olive branches, myrtle branches, palm branches and branches of other leafy trees, to make booths, as it is written.”

Likewise we cast lots for the supply of wood among the priests, the Levites and the people so that they might bring it to the house of our God, according to our fathers’ households, at fixed times annually, to burn on the altar of the Lord our God, as it is written in the law;

and bring to the house of our God the firstborn of our sons and of our cattle, and the firstborn of our herds and our flocks as it is written in the law, for the priests who are ministering in the house of our God.

As it is written in the law of Moses, all this calamity has come on us; yet we have not sought the favor of the Lord our God by turning from our iniquity and giving attention to Your truth.

The Son of Man is to go, just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.”

As it is written in Isaiah the prophet:“Behold, I send My messenger ahead of You,Who will prepare Your way;

And He said to them, “Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written:‘This people honors Me with their lips,But their heart is far away from Me.

But I say to you that Elijah has indeed come, and they did to him whatever they wished, just as it is written of him.”

For the Son of Man is to go just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.”

(as it is written in the Law of the Lord, “Every firstborn male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord”),

as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet,“The voice of one crying in the wilderness,‘Make ready the way of the Lord,Make His paths straight.

Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.’”

Jesus, finding a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written,

But God turned away and delivered them up to serve the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, ‘It was not to Me that you offered victims and sacrifices forty years in the wilderness, was it, O house of Israel?

With this the words of the Prophets agree, just as it is written,

For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “But the righteous man shall live by faith.”

For “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” just as it is written.

May it never be! Rather, let God be found true, though every man be found a liar, as it is written,“That You may be justified in Your words,And prevail when You are judged.”

as it is written,“There is none righteous, not even one;

(as it is written, “A father of many nations have I made you”) in the presence of Him whom he believed, even God, who gives life to the dead and calls into being that which does not exist.

Just as it is written,“For Your sake we are being put to death all day long;We were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”

Just as it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”

just as it is written,“Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense,And he who believes in Him will not be disappointed.”

How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things!”

just as it is written,“God gave them a spirit of stupor,Eyes to see not and ears to hear not,Down to this very day.”

and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written,“The Deliverer will come from Zion,He will remove ungodliness from Jacob.”

For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me.”

and for the Gentiles to glorify God for His mercy; as it is written,“Therefore I will give praise to You among the Gentiles,And I will sing to Your name.”

but as it is written,“They who had no news of Him shall see,And they who have not heard shall understand.”

so that, just as it is written, “Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord.”

but just as it is written,“Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard,And which have not entered the heart of man,All that God has prepared for those who love Him.”

Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and stood up to play.”

as it is written, “He who gathered much did not have too much, and he who gathered little had no lack.”

as it is written,“He scattered abroad, he gave to the poor,His righteousness endures forever.”
