⁵ circumcised^(A) on the eighth day, of the people of Israel,^(B) of the tribe of Benjamin,^(C) a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee;^(D)

²² Are they Hebrews? So am I.^(A) Are they Israelites? So am I.^(B) Are they Abraham’s descendants? So am I.^(C)

⁸ Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, and you do this to your brothers and sisters.^(A)

⁷ All nations will serve^(A) him and his son and his grandson until the time^(B) for his land comes; then many nations and great kings will subjugate^(C) him.

¹⁴ They themselves will be enslaved^(A) by many nations^(B) and great kings; I will repay^(C) them according to their deeds and the work of their hands.”

¹¹ So both of them showed themselves to the Philistine outpost. “Look!” said the Philistines. “The Hebrews^(A) are crawling out of the holes they were hiding^(B) in.”
