If prophets or those who divine by dreams appear among you and promise you omens or portents, and the omens or the portents declar...ed by them take place, and they say, "Let us follow other gods" (whom you have not known) "and let us serve them," you must not heed the words of those prophets or those who divine by dreams; for the LORD your God is testing you, to know whether you indeed love the LORD your God with all your heart and soul.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Three times a year all your males shall appear before the LORD your God at the place that he will choose: at the festival of unlea...vened bread, at the festival of weeks, and at the festival of booths.

Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away; for now the winter is past, the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth...; the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.

Even the most chronically dispossessed appear prepared to endorse the legitimacy of the "haves."LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Resorts advertised for waitresses, specifying that they "must appear in short clothes or no engagement." Below a Gospel Guide colu...mn headed, "Where our Local Divines Will Hang Out Tomorrow," was an account of spirited gun play at the Bon Ton.
