Psalm 116:1-2

116 I love Jehovah, for he hath heard my voice [and] my supplications;

For he hath inclined his ear unto me, and I will call upon him during [all] my days.

Psalm 116:12-19

12 What shall I render unto Jehovah, [for] all his benefits toward me?

13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of Jehovah.

14 I will perform my vows unto Jehovah, yea, before all his people.

15 Precious in the sight of Jehovah is the death of his saints.

16 Yea, Jehovah! for I am thy servant; I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of Jehovah.

18 I will perform my vows unto Jehovah, yea, before all his people,

19 In the courts of Jehovah's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah!

Genesis 24:1-9

24 And Abraham was old, [and] advanced in age; and Jehovah had blessed Abraham in all things.

And Abraham said to his servant, the eldest of his house, who ruled over all that he had, Put thy hand, I pray thee, under my thigh,

and I will make thee swear by Jehovah, the God of the heavens and the God of the earth, that thou take not a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I am dwelling;

but thou shalt go to my land and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son Isaac.

And the servant said to him, Perhaps the woman will not be willing to follow me to this land: must I, then, bring thy son again in any case to the land from which thou hast removed?

And Abraham said to him, Beware that thou bring not my son thither again.

Jehovah the God of the heavens, who took me out of my father's house, and out of the land of my nativity, and who has spoken to me, and who has sworn to me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land—he will send his angel before thee, that thou mayest take a wife for my son thence.

And if the woman be not willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be quit of this my oath: only, bring not my son thither again.

And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore unto him concerning that matter.

Acts 7:35-43

35 This Moses, whom they refused, saying, Who made thee ruler and judge? him did God send [to be] a ruler and deliverer with the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.

36 *He* led them out, having wrought wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years.

37 This is the Moses who said to the sons of Israel, A prophet shall God raise up to you out of your brethren like me [him shall ye hear].

38 This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness, with the angel who spoke to him in the mount Sinai, and with our fathers; who received living oracles to give to us;

39 to whom our fathers would not be subject, but thrust [him] from them, and in their hearts turned back to Egypt,

40 saying to Aaron, Make us gods who shall go before us; for this Moses, who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what has happened to him.

41 And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.

42 But God turned and delivered them up to serve the host of heaven; as it is written in [the] book of the prophets, Have ye offered me victims and sacrifices forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?

43 Yea, ye took up the tent of Moloch, and the star of [your] god Remphan, the forms which ye made to do homage to them; and I will transport you beyond Babylon.
