Lexicon :: Strong's G4111 - plassō

Then the LORD God formed the man out of the dust from the ground and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and the man became a living being.

The LORD God took the man and placed him in the garden of Eden to work it and watch over it.

The LORD God formed out of the ground every wild animal and every bird of the sky, and brought each to the man to see what he would call it. And whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name.

He took the gold from them, fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made it into an image of a calf.

Then they said, “Israel, these are your gods,[fn] who brought you up from the land of Egypt! ”

He offered sacrifices on[fn] the altar he had set up in Bethel on the fifteenth day of the eighth month. He chose this month on his own. He made a festival for the Israelites, offered sacrifices on the altar, and burned incense.

“Have you not heard?

I designed it long ago;

I planned it in days gone by.

I have now brought it to pass,

and you have crushed fortified cities

into piles of rubble.

“Your hands shaped me and formed me.

Will you now turn and destroy me?

every living thing would perish together

and mankind would return to the dust.

The earth is changed as clay is by a seal;

its hills stand out like the folds of a garment.

He forms the hearts of them all;

he considers all their works.

You set all the boundaries of the earth;

you made summer and winter.

Before the mountains were born,

before you gave birth to the earth and the world,

from eternity to eternity, you are God.

Can the one who shaped the ear not hear,

the one who formed the eye not see?

Can a corrupt throne be your ally,

a throne that makes evil laws?

The sea is his; he made it.

His hands formed the dry land.

There the ships move about,

and Leviathan, which you formed to play there.

Your hands made me and formed me;

give me understanding

so that I can learn your commands.

You have encircled me;

you have placed your hand on me.

Your eyes saw me when I was formless;

all my days were written in your book and planned

before a single one of them began.

If you say, “But we didn’t know about this,”

won’t he who weighs hearts consider it?

Won’t he who protects your life know?

Won’t he repay a person according to his work?

When its branches dry out, they will be broken off.

Women will come and make fires with them,

for they are not a people with understanding.

Therefore their Maker will not have compassion on them,

and their Creator will not be gracious to them.

You have turned things around,

as if the potter were the same as the clay.

How can what is made say about its maker,

“He didn’t make me”?

How can what is formed

say about the one who formed it,

“He doesn’t understand what he’s doing”?

Now this is what the LORD says —

the one who created you, Jacob,

and the one who formed you, Israel —

“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;

I have called you by your name; you are mine.

“everyone who bears my name

and is created for my glory.

I have formed them; indeed, I have made them.”

“This is the word of the LORD

your Maker, the one who formed you from the womb:

He will help you.

Do not fear, Jacob my servant,

Jeshurun[fn] whom I have chosen.

All who make idols are nothing,

and what they treasure benefits no one.

Their witnesses do not see or know anything,

so they will be put to shame.

Remember these things, Jacob,

and Israel, for you are my servant;

I formed you, you are my servant;

Israel, you will never be forgotten by me.[fn]

This is what the LORD, your Redeemer who formed you from the womb, says:

I am the LORD, who made everything;

who stretched out the heavens by myself;

who alone spread out the earth;

And now, says the LORD,

who formed me from the womb to be his servant,

to bring Jacob back to him

so that Israel might be gathered to him;

for I am honored in the sight of the LORD,

and my God is my strength —

After his anguish,

he will see light[fn] and be satisfied.

By his knowledge,

my righteous servant will justify many,

and he will carry their iniquities.

I chose you before I formed you in the womb;

I set you apart before you were born.

I appointed you a prophet to the nations.

Jacob’s Portion[fn] is not like these

because he is the one who formed all things.

Israel is the tribe of his inheritance;

the LORD of Armies is his name.

“So now, say to the men of Judah and to the residents of Jerusalem, ‘This is what the LORD says: Look, I am about to bring harm to you and make plans against you. Turn now, each from your evil way, and correct your ways and your deeds.’

This is what the LORD says: “Go, buy a potter’s clay jar. Take[fn] some of the elders of the people and some of the leading priests

“The LORD who made the earth,[fn] the LORD who forms it to establish it, the LORD is his name, says this:

Jacob’s Portion[fn] is not like these

because he is the one who formed all things.

Israel is the tribe of his inheritance;

the LORD of Armies is his name.

Are you not from eternity, LORD my God?

My Holy One, you[fn] will not die.

LORD, you appointed them to execute judgment;

my Rock, you destined them to punish us.

What use is a carved idol

after its craftsman carves it?

It is only a cast image, a teacher of lies.

For the one who crafts its shape trusts in it

and makes worthless idols that cannot speak.

A pronouncement:

The word of the LORD concerning Israel.

A declaration of the LORD,

who stretched out the heavens,

laid the foundation of the earth,

and formed the spirit of man within him.
