6 verses in the King James Version. Word study for “receive” →
To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;
My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.
Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall.
Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
