Today's Favorite Verse: Judges 4:1-2, 9

"And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD, when Ehud was dead.

And the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host was Sisera, which dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles.

And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine honour; for the LORD shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh."

The words sold and to sell by the Lord did not fit. I know the Lord did not sell us, but he bought us with his blood. I turned to the footnote.

"Yea, for thus saith the Lord: Have I put thee away, or have I cast thee off forever? For thus saith the Lord: Where is the bill of your mother’s divorcement? To whom have I put thee away, or to which of my creditors have I sold you? Yea, to whom have I sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away."

(2 Nephi 7:1, and Isaiah 50:1)

The only selling is ourselves. For turning away from the Lord we sell ourselves, and that is when we pay a price.
