Haima Kai Hydōr

The Spirit of God was hovering over the waters

Stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, their canals, and their ponds, and all their pools of water, so that they may become blood

For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood by reason of the life that makes atonement

To purify them, do this: Sprinkle the water of cleansing on them

Let my teaching fall like rain and my words descend like dew, like showers on new grass, like abundant rain on tender plants

The water flowing down from above will gather together in one place

To gush out of a hollow in the ground

Whenever you are thirsty, go and get a drink from the water

They drew water and poured it out before the Lord

He reached down from Heaven and rescued me; He drew me out of deep waters

And I gave them bread and water

Set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink and go to their master

This water is as precious as the blood

Blood on the altar for a sin offering to atone for all

He ate no bread and drank no water, for he mourned because of the guilt

They sank like stones beneath the mighty waters

Falling at his feet and weeping

O earth, do not cover my blood

For precious is their blood in his sight

Who has wrapped up the waters in a cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is the name of his son? Surely you know!

I made reservoirs to water groves of flourishing trees

A garden fountain, a well of living water, and flowing streams

With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation

Like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream

Pour out your heart like water in the presence of the Lord

The sound of his coming was like the roar of rushing waters, and the whole landscape shone with his glory

The man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, lifted his right hand and his left hand toward Heaven, and I heard him swear by him who lives forever

He will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain watering the earth

The streambeds of Judah shall flow with water; and a fountain shall come forth from the house of the Lord and water the Valley

Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream

Just as you drank on my holy hill, so all the nations will drink continually; they will drink to the last drop

The Lord, the God of Heaven, who made the sea and the dry land

You built Zion with blood

The sea kept her safe, for the water was her wall

You stepped on the sea with your horses, on the waves of many waters

To you who live by the sea

This is what the Lord Almighty says: “In a little while I will once more shake the Heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land”

On that day, living waters shall flow out from Jerusalem

“Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of Heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it”

He went up from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to him

He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!

Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him

If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked Him and He would have given you living water

And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on his name

Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through Him!

Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ?

All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God

So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ

Here is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism

But I will rejoice even if I lose my life, pouring it out like a liquid offering to God

And overflowing with thankfulness

May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else

Because your faith is growing more and more

The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus

Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work

He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior

Refresh my heart in Christ

Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant,

And to the sprinkled blood, which says better things

He chose to give us birth through the word of truth

This water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also—not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God

By the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water

This is he who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth

Acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh

The truth itself speaks for Him

To those who have been called, who are loved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ:

The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price
