When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD
appeared to him and said: "I am God the Almighty. Walk in my
presence and be blameless. Between you and me I will establish my
covenant, and I will multiply you exceedingly." When Abram
prostrated himself, God continued to speak to him: "My
covenant with you is this: you are to become the father of a host
of nations. No longer shall you be called Abram; your name shall
be Abraham, for I am making you the father of a host of nations. I
will render you exceedingly fertile; I will make nations of you;
kings shall stem from you. I will maintain my covenant with you
and your descendants after you throughout the ages as an
everlasting pact, to be your God and the God of your descendants
after you. I will give to you and to your descendants after you
the land in which you are now staying, the whole land of Canaan,
as a permanent possession; and I will be their God." [GEN 17:1-8]
Abraham prostrated himself and laughed as he
said to himself, "Can a child be born to a man who is a
hundred years old? Or can Sarah give birth at ninety?" [GEN
17:17]
"All these servants of yours shall then come down
to me, and prostrate before me, they shall beg me, 'Leave us, you
and all your followers!' Only then will I depart." With that
he left Pharaoh's presence in hot anger. [EX 11:8]
When you notice the ass of one who hates you
lying prostrate under its burden, by no means desert him; help
him, rather, to raise it up. [EX 23:5]
Seeing this, all the people cried out and fell prostrate. [Taken
from LEV
9:24]
So they said to one another, "Let us
appoint a leader and go back to Egypt." But Moses and Aaron
fell prostrate before the whole assembled community of the
Israelites; while Joshua, son of Nun, and Caleb, son of Jephunneh,
who had been in the party that scouted the land, tore their
garments and said to the whole community of the Israelites,
"The country which we went through and explored is a fine,
rich land. If the LORD is pleased with us, he will bring us in and
give us that land, a land flowing with milk and honey. But do not
rebel against the LORD! You need not be afraid of the people of
that land; they are but food for us! Their defense has left them,
but the LORD is with us. Therefore, do not be afraid of
them." [NUM 14:4-9]
When Moses heard this, he fell prostrate. Then he said to Korah and to all his band, "May the LORD make known tomorrow morning who belongs to him and who is the holy one and whom he will have draw near to him! Whom he chooses, he will have draw near him." [NUM 16:4-5]
Then, when Korah had assembled all his band
against them at the entrance of the meeting tent, the glory of the
LORD appeared to the entire community, and the LORD said to Moses
and Aaron, "Stand apart from this band, that I may consume
them at once." But they fell prostrate and cried out, "O
God, God of the spirits of all mankind, will one man's sin make
you angry with the whole community?" [NUM 16:19-22]
But while the community was deliberating against
them, Moses and Aaron turned toward the meeting tent, and the
cloud now covered it and the glory of the LORD appeared. Then
Moses and Aaron came to the front of the meeting tent, and the
LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "Depart from this community,
that I may consume them at once." But they fell prostrate.
Then Moses said to Aaron, "Take your censer, put fire from
the altar in it, lay incense on it, and bring it quickly to the
community to make atonement for them; for wrath has come forth
from the LORD and the blow is falling." [NUM 17:7-11]
But Moses and Aaron went away from the assembly
to the entrance of the meeting tent, where they fell prostrate.
Then the glory of the LORD appeared to them, and the LORD said to
Moses, "Take the staff and assemble the community, you and
your brother Aaron, and in their presence order the rock to yield
its waters. From the rock you shall bring forth water for the
community and their livestock to drink." [NUM 20:6-8]
"When I had come down again from the
blazing, fiery mountain, with the two tablets of the covenant in
both my hands, I saw how you had sinned against the LORD, your
God: you had already turned aside from the way which the LORD had
pointed out to you by making for yourselves a molten calf! Raising
the two tablets with both hands I threw them from me and broke
them before your eyes. Then, as before, I lay prostrate before the
LORD for forty days and forty nights without eating or drinking,
because of all the sin you had committed in the sight of the LORD
and the evil you had done to provoke him. For I dreaded the fierce
anger of the LORD against you: his wrath would destroy you. Yet
once again the LORD listened to me." [DEUT 9:15-19]
Ever since I have known you, you have been
rebels against the LORD. "Those forty days, then, and forty
nights, I lay prostrate before the LORD, because he had threatened
to destroy you. This was my prayer to him: O Lord GOD, destroy not
your people, the heritage which your majesty has ransomed and
brought out of Egypt with your strong hand. Remember your
servants, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Look not upon the stubbornness
of this people nor upon their wickedness and sin, lest the people
from whose land you have brought us say, 'The LORD was not able to
bring them into the land he promised them'; or 'Out of hatred for
them, he brought them out to slay them in the desert.' They are,
after all, your people and your heritage, whom you have brought
out by your great power and with your outstretched arm." [DEUT
9:24-29]
While Joshua was near Jericho, he raised his
eyes and saw one who stood facing him, drawn sword in hand. Joshua
went up to him and asked, "Are you one of us or of our
enemies?" He replied, "Neither. I am the captain of the
host of the LORD and I have just arrived." Then Joshua fell
prostrate to the ground in worship, and said to him, "What
has my lord to say to his servant?" The captain of the host
of the LORD replied to Joshua, "Remove your sandals from your
feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy." And
Joshua obeyed. [JOSH 5:13-15]
Joshua, together with the elders of Israel, rent
his garments and lay prostrate before the ark of the LORD until
evening; and they threw dust on their heads. "Alas, O Lord
GOD," Joshua prayed, "why did you ever allow this people
to pass over the Jordan, delivering us into the power of the
Amorites, that they might destroy us? Would that we had been
content to dwell on the other side of the Jordan. Pray, Lord, what
can I say, now that Israel has turned its back to its enemies?
When the Canaanites and the other inhabitants of the land hear of
it, they will close in around us and efface our name from the
earth. What will you do for your great name?" The LORD
replied to Joshua: "Stand up. Why are you lying prostrate?
Israel has sinned: they have violated the covenant which I
enjoined on them. They have stealthily taken goods subject to the
ban, and have deceitfully put them in their baggage. If the
Israelites cannot stand up to their enemies, but must turn their
back to them, it is because they are under the ban. I will not
remain with you unless you remove from among you whoever has
incurred the ban. Rise, sanctify the people. Tell them to sanctify
themselves before tomorrow, for the LORD, the God of Israel, says:
You are under the ban, O Israel. You cannot stand up to your
enemies until you remove from among you whoever has incurred the
ban." [Taken from JOSH 7:6-13]
When Gideon heard the description and
explanation of the dream, he prostrated himself. Then returning to
the camp of Israel, he said, "Arise, for the LORD has
delivered the camp of Midian into your power." [JUDG 7:15]
While Manoah and his wife were looking on, as
the flame rose to the sky from the altar, the angel of the LORD
ascended in the flame of the altar. When Manoah and his wife saw
this, they fell prostrate to the ground; but the angel of the LORD
was seen no more by Manoah and his wife. [Taken from JUDG 13:19-21]
Boaz said to Ruth, "Listen, my daughter! Do
not go to glean in anyone else's field; you are not to leave here.
Stay here with my women servants. Watch to see which field is to
be harvested, and follow them; I have commanded the young men to
do you no harm. When you are thirsty, you may go and drink from
the vessels the young men have filled." Casting herself
prostrate upon the ground, she said to him, "Why should I, a
foreigner, be favored with your notice?" Boaz answered her:
"I have had a complete account of what you have done for your
mother-in-law after your husband's death; you have left your
father and your mother and the land of your birth, and have come
to a people whom you did not know previously. May the LORD reward
what you have done! May you receive a full reward from the LORD,
the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come for
refuge." [RUTH 2:8-12]
When the boy had left, David rose from beside
the mound and prostrated himself on the ground three times before
Jonathan in homage. They kissed each other and wept aloud
together. [1SAM 20:41]

quickly from the ass and, falling prostrate on the ground before
David, did him homage. [1SAM 25:23]
When Meribbaal, son of Jonathan, son of Saul,
came to David, he fell prostrate in homage. David said,
"Meribbaal," and he answered, "Your servant."
"Fear not," David said to him, "I will surely be
kind to you for the sake of your father Jonathan. I will restore
to you all the lands of your grandfather Saul, and you shall
always eat at my table." [2SAM 9:6-7]
When Joab, son of Zeruiah, observed how the king
felt toward Absalom, he sent to Tekoa and brought from there a
gifted woman, to whom he said: "Pretend to be in mourning.
Put on mourning apparel and do not anoint yourself with oil, that
you may appear to be a woman who has been long in mourning for a
departed one. Then go to the king and speak to him in this
manner." And Joab instructed her what to say. So the woman of
Tekoa went to the king and fell prostrate to the ground in homage,
saying, "Help, your majesty!" [2SAM 14:1-4]
Then the king said to Joab: "I hereby grant this request. Go,
therefore, and bring back young Absalom." Falling prostrate to the ground in homage and blessing the king, Joab said, "This day I know that I am in good favor with you, my lord the king, since the king has granted the request of his servant." [2SAM 14:21-22]
As Obadiah was on his way, Elijah met him.

you, my lord Elijah?" [1KGS 18:7]

said, "The LORD is God! The LORD is God!" [1KGS 18:39]
God also sent an angel to destroy Jerusalem; but
as he was on the point of destroying it, the LORD saw and decided
against the calamity, and said to the destroying angel,
"Enough now! Stay your hand!" The angel of the LORD was
then standing by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite. When
David raised his eyes, he saw the angel of the LORD standing
between earth and heaven, with a naked sword in his hand stretched
out against Jerusalem. David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth,
prostrated themselves face to the ground, and David prayed to God:
"Was it not I who ordered the census of the people? I am the
one who sinned, I did this wicked thing. But these sheep, what
have they done? O LORD, my God, strike me and my father's family,
but do not afflict your people with this plague!" [1CHRON
21:15-17]
Then David besought the whole assembly,
"Now bless the LORD your God!" And the whole assembly
blessed the LORD, the God of their fathers, bowing down and
prostrating themselves before the LORD and before the king.
[1CHRON 29:20]
King Hezekiah and the princes then commanded the
Levites to sing the praises of the LORD in the words of David and
of Asaph the seer. They sang praises till their joy was full, then
fell down and prostrated themselves. [2CHRON 29:30]
Manasseh was twelve years old when he became
king, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. He did evil in
the sight of the LORD, following the abominable practices of the
nations whom the LORD had cleared out of the way of the
Israelites. He rebuilt the high places which his father Hezekiah
had torn down, erected altars for the Baals, made sacred poles,
and prostrated himself before the whole host of heaven and
worshiped them. [2CHRON 33:1-3]
While Ezra prayed and acknowledged their guilt,
weeping and prostrate before the house of God, a very large
assembly of Israelites gathered about him, men, women, and
children; and the people wept profusely. [EZRA 10:1]

the people, their hands raised high, answered, "Amen,
amen!" Then they bowed down and prostrated themselves before
the LORD, their faces to the ground. [NEH 8:6]

the book of the law of the LORD their God, for a fourth part of
the day, and during another fourth part they made their confession
and prostrated themselves before the LORD their God. [NEH 9:3]
All the men of Israel cried to God with great
fervor and did penance - they, along with their wives, and
children, and domestic animals. All their resident aliens, hired
laborers, and slaves also girded themselves with sackcloth. And
all the Israelite men, women and children who lived in Jerusalem
prostrated themselves in front of the temple building, with ashes
strewn on their heads, displaying their sackcloth covering before
the Lord. [JDTH 4:9-11]
At this the people fell prostrate and worshiped God; and they cried out:
"Lord, God of heaven, behold their arrogance! Have pity on the lowliness of our people, and look with favor this day on those who are consecrated to you."
[JDTH 6:18-19]
Judith threw herself down prostrate, with ashes
strewn upon her head, and wearing nothing over her sackcloth.
While the incense was being offered in the temple of God in
Jerusalem that evening, Judith prayed to the Lord with a loud
voice [Taken from JDTH 9:1]
Now Holofernes was reclining on his bed under a
canopy with a netting of crimson and gold, emeralds and other
precious stones. When they announced her to him, he came out to
the antechamber, preceded by silver lamps; and when Holofernes and
his servants beheld Judith, they all marveled at the beauty of her
face. She threw herself down prostrate before him, but his
servants raised her up. [JDTH 10:21-23]
Judith was left alone in the tent with
Holofernes, who lay prostrate on his bed, for he was sodden with
wine. [JDTH 13:2]
On the anniversary of the day on which the Gentiles had defiled it, on that very day it was reconsecrated with songs, harps, flutes, and cymbals.
All the people prostrated themselves and adored and praised Heaven, who had given them success. [1MACC 4:54-55]
So on the day he had set he went in to take an
inventory of the funds. There was great distress throughout the
city. Priests prostrated themselves in their priestly robes before
the altar, and loudly begged him in heaven who had given the law
about deposits to keep the deposits safe for those who had made
them. Whoever saw the appearance of the high priest was pierced to
the heart, for the changed color of his face manifested the
anguish of his soul. The terror and bodily trembling that had come
over the man clearly showed those who saw him the pain that lodged
in his heart. People rushed out of their houses in crowds to make
public supplication, because the Place was in danger of being
profaned. Women, girded with sackcloth below their breasts, filled
the streets; maidens secluded indoors ran together, some to the
gates, some to the walls, others peered through the windows, all
of them with hands raised toward heaven, making supplication. It
was pitiful to see the populace variously prostrated in prayer and
the high priest full of dread and anguish. [2MACC 3:14-21]
When they had done this, they prostrated
themselves and begged the Lord that they might never again fall
into such misfortunes, and that if they should sin at any time, he
might chastise them with moderation and not hand them over to
blasphemous and barbarous Gentiles. [2MACC 10:4]
Timothy, who had previously been defeated by the
Jews, gathered a tremendous force of foreign troops and collected
a large number of cavalry from Asia; then he appeared in Judea,
ready to conquer it by force. At his approach, Maccabeus and his
men made supplication to God, sprinkling earth upon their heads
and girding their loins in sackcloth. Lying prostrate at the foot
of the altar, they begged him to be gracious to them, and to be an
enemy to their enemies, and a foe to their foes, as the law
declares. [2MACC 10:24-26]
The king was advancing, his mind full of savage
plans for inflicting on the Jews worse things than those they
suffered in his father's time. When Judas learned of this, he
urged the people to call upon the LORD night and day, to help them
now, if ever, when they were about to be deprived of their law,
their country, and their holy temple; and not to allow this
nation, which had just begun to revive, to be subjected again to
blasphemous Gentiles. When they had all joined in doing this, and
had implored the merciful LORD continuously with weeping and
fasting and prostrations for three days, Judas encouraged them and
told them to stand ready. [2MACC 13:9-12]
Then Job began to tear his cloak and cut off his
hair. He cast himself prostrate upon the ground, and said,
"Naked I came forth from my mother's womb, and naked shall I
go back again. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; blessed
be the name of the LORD!" In all this Job did not sin, nor
did he say anything disrespectful of God. [JOB 1:20-22]
I lie prostrate in the dust; give me life in
accord with your word. [PS 119:25]
For they see the death of the wise man and do
not understand what the LORD intended for him, or why he made him
secure. They see, and hold him in contempt; but the LORD laughs
them to scorn. And they shall afterward become dishonored corpses
and an unceasing mockery among the dead. For he shall strike them
down speechless and prostrate and rock them to their foundations;
They shall be utterly laid waste and shall be in grief and their
memory shall perish. [WISDOM 4:17-19]
And had stretched forth his hand for the cup, to
offer blood of the grape, And poured it out at the foot of the
altar, a sweet-smelling odor to the Most High God, The sons of
Aaron would sound a blast, the priests, on their trumpets of
beaten metal; A blast to resound mightily as a reminder before the
Most High. Then all the people with one accord would quickly fall
prostrate to the ground In adoration before the Most High, before
the Holy One of Israel. Then hymns would re-echo, and over the
throng sweet strains of praise resound. All the people of the land
would shout for joy, praying to the Merciful One, As the high
priest completed the services at the altar by presenting to God
the sacrifice due; Then coming down he would raise his hands over
all the congregation of Israel. The blessing of the LORD would be
upon his lips, the name of the LORD would be his glory. Then again
the people would lie prostrate to receive from him the blessing of
the Most High. [SIRACH 50:15-21]
But I will bring distress upon Ariel, with
mourning and grief. You shall be to me like Ariel, I will encamp
like David against you; I will encircle you with outposts and set
up siege works against you. Prostrate you shall speak from the
earth, and from the base dust your words shall come. Your voice
shall be like a ghost's from the earth, and your words like
chirping from the dust. The horde of your arrogant shall be like
fine dust, the horde of the tyrants like flying chaff. Then
suddenly, in an instant, you shall be visited by the LORD of
hosts, With thunder, earthquake, and great noise, whirlwind,
storm, and the flame of consuming fire. [ISA 29:2-6]
Of what remains he makes a god, his idol, and prostrate before it in worship, he implores it, "Rescue me, for you are my god." The idols have neither knowledge nor reason; their eyes are coated so that they cannot see, and their hearts so that they cannot understand. [ISA 44:17-18]
Thus says the LORD: The earnings of Egypt, the
gain of Ethiopia, and the Sabeans, tall of stature, Shall come
over to you and belong to you; they shall follow you, coming in
chains. Before you they shall fall prostrate, saying in prayer:
"With you only is God, and nowhere else; the gods are nought.
Truly with you God is hidden, the God of Israel, the savior!"
[Taken from ISA 45:14-15]
Thus says the LORD, the redeemer and the Holy
One of Israel, To the one despised, whom the nations abhor, the
slave of rulers: When kings see you, they shall stand up, and
princes shall prostrate themselves Because of the LORD who is
faithful, the Holy One of Israel who has chosen you. [ISA 49:7]
The glory of Lebanon shall come to you: the
cypress, the plane and the pine, To bring beauty to my sanctuary,
and glory to the place where I set my feet. The children of your
oppressors shall come, bowing low before you; All those who
despised you shall fall prostrate at your feet. They shall call
you "City of the LORD," "Zion of the Holy One of
Israel." Once you were forsaken, hated and unvisited, Now I
will make you the pride of the ages, a joy to generation after
generation. [ISA 60:13-15]
While I, Daniel, sought the meaning of the
vision I had seen, a manlike figure stood before me, and on the
Ulai I heard a human voice that cried out, "Gabriel, explain
the vision to this man." When he came near where I was
standing, I fell prostrate in terror. But he said to me,
"Understand, son of man, that the vision refers to the end
time." [DAN 8:15-17]
When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in
the days of King Herod, behold, magi from the east arrived in
Jerusalem, saying, "Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We
saw his star at its rising and have come to do him homage."
When King Herod heard this, he was greatly troubled, and all
Jerusalem with him. Assembling all the chief priests and the
scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Messiah was
to be born. They said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for
thus it has been written through the prophet: 'And you, Bethlehem,
land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah;
since from you shall come a ruler, who is to shepherd my people
Israel.'" Then Herod called the magi secretly and ascertained
from them the time of the star's appearance. He sent them to
Bethlehem and said, "Go and search diligently for the child.
When you have found him, bring me word, that I too may go and do
him homage." After their audience with the king they set out.
And behold, the star that they had seen at its rising preceded
them, until it came and stopped over the place where the child
was. They were overjoyed at seeing the star, and on entering the
house they saw the child with Mary his mother. They prostrated
themselves and did him homage. Then they opened their treasures
and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. And having
been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed for
their country by another way. [MT 2:1-12]
Then the devil took him up to a very high
mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in their
magnificence, and he said to him, "All these I shall give to
you, if you will prostrate yourself and worship me." At this,
Jesus said to him, "Get away, Satan! It is written: 'The
Lord, your God, shall you worship and him alone shall you
serve.'" [MT 4:8-10]
After six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John
his brother, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. And he
was transfigured before them; his face shone like the sun and his
clothes became white as light. And behold, Moses and Elijah
appeared to them, conversing with him. Then Peter said to Jesus in
reply, "Lord, it is good that we are here. If you wish, I
will make three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one
for Elijah." While he was still speaking, behold, a bright
cloud cast a shadow over them, then from the cloud came a voice
that said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well
pleased; listen to him." When the disciples heard this, they
fell prostrate and were very much afraid. But Jesus came and
touched them, saying, "Rise, and do not be afraid." And
when the disciples raised their eyes, they saw no one else but
Jesus alone. [MT 17:1-8]
Then Jesus came with them to a place called
Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, "Sit here while I
go over there and pray." He took along Peter and the two sons
of Zebedee, and began to feel sorrow and distress. Then he said to
them, "My soul is sorrowful even to death. Remain here and
keep watch with me." He advanced a little and fell prostrate
in prayer, saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this
cup pass from me; yet, not as I will, but as you will." When
he returned to his disciples he found them asleep. He said to
Peter, "So you could not keep watch with me for one hour?
Watch and pray that you may not undergo the test. The spirit is
willing, but the flesh is weak." Withdrawing a second time,
he prayed again, "My Father, if it is not possible that this
cup pass without my drinking it, your will be done!" Then he
returned once more and found them asleep, for they could not keep
their eyes open. He left them and withdrew again and prayed a
third time, saying the same thing again. Then he returned to his
disciples and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and
taking your rest? Behold, the hour is at hand when the Son of Man
is to be handed over to sinners. Get up, let us go. Look, my
betrayer is at hand." [MT 26:36-46]
They came to the other side of the sea, to the
territory of the Gerasenes. When he got out of the boat, at once a
man from the tombs who had an unclean spirit met him. The man had
been dwelling among the tombs, and no one could restrain him any
longer, even with a chain. In fact, he had frequently been bound
with shackles and chains, but the chains had been pulled apart by
him and the shackles smashed, and no one was strong enough to
subdue him. Night and day among the tombs and on the hillsides he
was always crying out and bruising himself with stones. Catching
sight of Jesus from a distance, he ran up and prostrated himself
before him, crying out in a loud voice, "What have you to do
with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do
not torment me!" [MK 5:1-7]
Now there was a man full of leprosy in one of
the towns where he was; and when he saw Jesus, he fell prostrate,
pleaded with him, and said, "Lord, if you wish, you can make
me clean." Jesus stretched out his hand, touched him, and
said, "I do will it. Be made clean." And the leprosy
left him immediately. [LK 5:12-13]
"To the angel of the church in
Philadelphia, write this: 'The holy one, the true, who holds the
key of David, who opens and no one shall close, who closes and no
one shall open, says this: "I know your works (behold, I have
left an open door before you, which no one can close). You have
limited strength, and yet you have kept my word and have not
denied my name. Behold, I will make those of the assembly of Satan
who claim to be Jews and are not, but are lying, behold I will
make them come and fall prostrate at your feet, and they will
realize that I love you. Because you have kept my message of
endurance, I will keep you safe in the time of trial that is going
to come to the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth. I
am coming quickly. Hold fast to what you have, so that no one may
take your crown."'" [Taken from RV 3:7-11]
After this I had a vision of a great multitude,
which no one could count, from every nation, race, people, and
tongue. They stood before the throne and before the Lamb, wearing
white robes and holding palm branches in their hands. They cried
out in a loud voice: "Salvation comes from our God, who is
seated on the throne, and from the Lamb." All the angels
stood around the throne and around the elders and the four living
creatures. They prostrated themselves before the throne, worshiped
God, and exclaimed: "Amen. Blessing and glory, wisdom and
thanksgiving, honor, power, and might be to our God forever and
ever. Amen." [RV 7:9-12]
Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet. There
were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdom of the world
now belongs to our Lord and to his Anointed, and he will reign
forever and ever." The twenty-four elders who sat on their
thrones before God prostrated themselves and worshiped God and
said: "We give thanks to you, Lord God almighty, who are and
who were. For you have assumed your great power and have
established your reign. The nations raged, but your wrath has
come, and the time for the dead to be judged, and to recompense
your servants, the prophets, and the holy ones and those who fear
your name, the small and the great alike, and to destroy those who
destroy the earth." Then God's temple in heaven was opened,
and the ark of his covenant could be seen in the temple. There
were flashes of lightning, rumblings, and peals of thunder, an
earthquake, and a violent hailstorm. [RV 11:15-19]
