Exodus 31:12-17 (Sabbath as the great sign of the covenant at Sinai); 1 Samuel 21:1-7 (David and his men eating the shewbread); Hosea 6:6 (mercy not sacrifice); 1 Kings 13:4-6 (Jeroboam’s withered hand); Isaiah 42:1-3 (the prophecy of the gentle Servant); Ezekiel 34:11-24 (YHWH coming to the rescue of his sheep).
