Getting Ready
Author : Joyce C. Lock
And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth.
And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the ruler of his house, Bring these men home, and slay, and make ready; for these men shall dine with me at noon. And they made ready the present against Joseph came at noon: for they heard that they should eat bread there.
And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen, and presented himself unto him; and he fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while. And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him.
And be ready against the third day: for the third day the Lord will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.
And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes of an ephah of flour: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out unto him under the oak, and presented it.
And Manoah said unto the angel of the Lord, I pray thee, let us detain thee, until we shall have made ready a kid for thee.
And the king's servants said unto the king, Behold, thy servants are ready to do whatsoever my lord the king shall appoint.
And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.
And Joram said, Make ready. And his chariot was made ready. And Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out against Jehu, and met him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite.
And afterward they made ready for themselves, and for the priests: because the priests the sons of Aaron were busied in offering of burnt offerings and the fat until night; therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron.
This Ezra went up from Babylon; and he was a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which the Lord God of Israel had given: and the king granted him all his request, according to the hand of the Lord his God upon him.
The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was published unto all people, that they should be ready against that day.
The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy. (If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready. For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart. Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them).
For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the Lord
in the holy mount at Jerusalem.
The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smootheth with the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It is ready for the sodering: and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved.
For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire.
Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.
Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
