Numbers
12.1 Miriam and Aaron Oppose Moses
12.3 Again, a proverbial saying.
12.6 Exactly how did the Lord speak so clearly, in poetic form?
13.1 Exploring Canaan
13.16 It would seem that 13.8 is a genealogical source text, so gives his birth name; but this verse and 11.28 use his common name.
13.26 Report on the Exploration
13.30 Brave words from Caleb, to silence the majority. Joshua stood with him (14.6, 30, 38).
Psalms
Psalm 49
49.10 Compare Ecclesiastes 2.16.
49.20 Today there are many like this.
Isaiah
2.1 The Mountain of the Lord
2.6 The Day of the Lord
Hebrews
10.1 Christ’s Sacrifice Once for All
10.19 A Call to Persevere
10.22 Together with 4.14, this verse makes a fine exhortation to Confession: Seeing we have a great high priest
who has passed into the heavens,
Jesus the Son of God,
let us draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith,
and make our confession to our heavenly Father.
10.29 Roman Catholics may take this as referring to communion bread, but I think it is merely a metaphor for disrespect.
10.35 It seems that they were once persecuted, but now times are easier. Although we live in comfort, for us persecution is perhaps getting harder with each passing year.
