Num
3:1 Now this is the history of the generations of Aaron and Moses in
the day that Yahweh spoke with Moses in Mount Sinai.
Num
3:2 These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn,
and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Num
3:3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests who were
anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office.
Num
3:4 Nadab and Abihu died before Yahweh, when they offered strange
fire before Yahweh, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no
children. Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office in
the presence of Aaron their father.
Num
3:5 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
3:6 "Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set them before Aaron
the priest, that they may minister to him.
Num
3:7 They shall keep his requirements, and the requirements of the
whole congregation before the Tent of Meeting, to do the service of
the tabernacle.
Num
3:8 They shall keep all the furnishings of the Tent of Meeting, and
the obligations of the children of Israel, to do the service of the
tabernacle.
Num
3:9 You shall give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons. They are
wholly given to him on the behalf of the children of Israel.
Num
3:10 You shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall keep their
priesthood. The stranger who comes near shall be put to death."
Num
3:11 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
3:12 "Behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children
of Israel instead of all the firstborn who open the womb among the
children of Israel; and the Levites shall be mine:
Num
3:13 for all the firstborn are mine. On the day that I struck down
all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I made holy to me all the
firstborn in Israel, both man and animal. They shall be mine. I am
Yahweh."
Num
3:14 Yahweh spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
Num
3:15 "Count the children of Levi by their fathers' houses, by
their families. You shall count every male from a month old and
upward."
Num
3:16 Moses numbered them according to the word of Yahweh, as he was
commanded.
Num
3:17 These were the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, and
Kohath, and Merari.
Num

Libni and Shimei.
Num
3:19 The sons of Kohath by their families: Amram, and Izhar, Hebron,
and Uzziel.
Num
3:20 The sons of Merari by their families: Mahli and Mushi. These
are the families of the Levites according to their fathers' houses.
Num
3:21 Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites, and the family of
the Shimeites: these are the families of the Gershonites.
Num
3:22 Those who were numbered of them, according to the number of all
the males, from a month old and upward, even those who were numbered
of them were seven thousand five hundred.
Num
3:23 The families of the Gershonites shall encamp behind the
tabernacle westward.
Num
3:24 The prince of the fathers' house of the Gershonites shall be
Eliasaph the son of Lael.

door of the Tent of Meeting,
Num
3:26 and the hangings of the court, and the screen for the door of
the court, which is by the tabernacle, and around the altar, and its
cords for all of its service.
Num
3:27 Of Kohath was the family of the Amramites, and the family of
the Izharites, and the family of the Hebronites, and the family of
the Uzzielites: these are the families of the Kohathites.
Num
3:28 According to the number of all the males, from a month old and
upward, there were eight thousand six hundred, keeping the
requirements of the sanctuary.

3:29 The families of the sons of Kohath shall encamp on the south

Num
3:38 Those who encamp before the tabernacle eastward, in front of
the Tent of Meeting toward the sunrise, shall be Moses, and Aaron and

the children of Israel. The stranger who comes near shall be put to
death.
Num
3:39 All who were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron
numbered at the commandment of Yahweh, by their families, all the
males from a month old and upward, were twenty-two thousand.
Num
3:40 Yahweh said to Moses, "Number all the firstborn males of
the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the
number of their names.
Num
3:41 You shall take the Levites for me (I am Yahweh) instead of
all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the livestock of
the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the livestock of the
children of Israel."
Num
3:42 Moses numbered, as Yahweh commanded him, all the firstborn
among the children of Israel.
Num
3:43 All the firstborn males according to the number of names, from
a month old and upward, of those who were numbered of them, were
twenty-two thousand two hundred seventy-three.
Num
3:44 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
3:45 "Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the
children of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites instead of their
livestock; and the Levites shall be mine. I am Yahweh.
Num
3:46 For the redemption of the two hundred seventy-three of the
firstborn of the children of Israel, who exceed the number of the
Levites,
Num
3:47 you shall take five shekels apiece for each one; after the
shekel of the sanctuary you shall take them (the shekel is twenty
gerahs):
Num
3:48 and you shall give the money, with which the remainder of them
is redeemed, to Aaron and to his sons."
Num
3:49 Moses took the redemption money from those who exceeded the
number of those who were redeemed by the Levites;
Num
3:50 from the firstborn of the children of Israel he took the money,
one thousand three hundred sixty-five shekels, after the shekel of
the sanctuary:
Num
3:51 and Moses gave the redemption money to Aaron and to his sons,
according to the word of Yahweh, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
Num
4:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Num
4:2 "Take a census of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of
Levi, by their families, by their fathers' houses,
Num
4:3 from thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all
who enter into the service, to do the work in the Tent of Meeting.

4:4 This is the service of the sons of Kohath in the Tent of
Meeting, the most holy things.

4:6 and shall put a covering of sealskin on it, and shall spread
over it a cloth all of blue, and shall put in its poles.

covering of sealskin, and put in its poles.
Num
4:15 "When Aaron and his sons have finished covering the
sanctuary, and all the furniture of the sanctuary, as the camp moves
forward; after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to carry it: but
they shall not touch the sanctuary, lest they die. These things are
the burden of the sons of Kohath in the Tent of Meeting.
Num
4:16 "The duty of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be
the oil for the light, the sweet incense, the continual meal
offering, and the anointing oil, the requirements of all the
tabernacle, and of all that is in it, the sanctuary, and its
furnishings."
Num
4:17 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Num
4:18 "Don't cut off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites
from among the Levites;
Num
4:19 but thus do to them, that they may live, and not die, when they
approach to the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in, and
appoint them everyone to his service and to his burden;
Num
4:20 but they shall not go in to see the sanctuary even for a
moment, lest they die."
Num
4:21 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
4:22 "Take a census of the sons of Gershon also, by their
fathers' houses, by their families;
Num
4:23 you shall count them from thirty years old and upward until
fifty years old; all who enter in to wait on the service, to do the
work in the Tent of Meeting.
Num
4:24 This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, in
serving and in bearing burdens:

4:25 they shall carry the curtains of the tabernacle, and the Tent
of Meeting, its covering, and the covering of sealskin that is above
on it, and the screen for the door of the Tent of Meeting,
Num
4:26 and the hangings of the court, and the screen for the door of
the gate of the court, which is by the tabernacle and around the
altar, and their cords, and all the instruments of their service, and
whatever shall be done with them. Therein shall they serve.
Num
4:27 At the commandment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the
service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burden, and in
all their service; and you shall appoint their duty to them in all
their responsibilities.
Num
4:28 This is the service of the families of the sons of the
Gershonites in the Tent of Meeting: and their duty shall be under the
hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
Num
4:29 "As for the sons of Merari, you shall number them by their
families, by their fathers' houses;
Num
4:30 you shall count them from thirty years old and upward even to
fifty years old, everyone who enters on the service, to do the work
of the Tent of Meeting.
Num
4:31 This is the duty of their burden, according to all their
service in the Tent of Meeting: the tabernacle's boards, its bars,
its pillars, its sockets,
Num
4:32 and the pillars of the court around it, and their sockets, and
their pins, and their cords, with all their instruments, and with all
their service: and by name you shall appoint the instruments of the
duty of their burden.

according to all their service, in the Tent of Meeting, under the
hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest."

Numbers
5, 6
Num
5:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
5:2 "Command the children of Israel that they put out of the
camp every leper, and everyone who has an issue, and whoever is
unclean by the dead.
Num
5:3 Both you shall put male and female outside of the camp; that
they not defile their camp, in the midst of which I dwell."
Num
5:4 The children of Israel did so, and put them out outside of the
camp; as Yahweh spoke to Moses, so did the children of Israel.
Num
5:5 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
5:6 "Speak to the children of Israel: When a man or woman
commits any sin that men commit, so as to trespass against Yahweh,
and that soul is guilty;
Num
5:7 then he shall confess his sin which he has done, and he shall
make restitution for his guilt in full, and add to it the fifth part
of it, and give it to him in respect of whom he has been guilty.
Num
5:8 But if the man has no kinsman to whom restitution may be made
for the guilt, the restitution for guilt which is made to Yahweh
shall be the priest's; besides the ram of the atonement, by which
atonement shall be made for him.
Num
5:9 Every heave offering of all the holy things of the children of
Israel, which they present to the priest, shall be his.
Num
5:10 Every man's holy things shall be his: whatever any man gives
the priest, it shall be his."
Num
5:11 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
5:12 "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them: If any
man's wife goes astray, and is unfaithful to him,
Num
5:13 and a man lies with her carnally, and it is hidden from the
eyes of her husband, and is kept close, and she is defiled, and there
is no witness against her, and she isn't taken in the act;
Num
5:14 and the spirit of jealousy comes on him, and he is jealous of
his wife, and she is defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy comes on
him, and he is jealous of his wife, and she isn't defiled:
Num
5:15 then the man shall bring his wife to the priest, and shall
bring her offering for her: the tenth part of an ephah of barley
meal. He shall pour no oil on it, nor put frankincense on it, for it
is a meal offering of jealousy, a meal offering of memorial, bringing
iniquity to memory.
Num
5:16 The priest shall bring her near, and set her before Yahweh;
Num
5:17 and the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and
of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall
take, and put it into the water.
Num
5:18 The priest shall set the woman before Yahweh, and let the hair
of the woman's head go loose, and put the meal offering of memorial
in her hands, which is the meal offering of jealousy. The priest
shall have in his hand the water of bitterness that brings a curse.
Num
5:19 The priest shall cause her to swear, and shall tell the woman,
'If no man has lain with you, and if you haven't gone aside to
uncleanness, being under your husband, be free from this water of
bitterness that brings a curse.
Num
5:20 But if you have gone astray, being under your husband, and if
you are defiled, and some man has lain with you besides your
husband:'
Num
5:21 then the priest shall cause the woman to swear with the oath of
cursing, and the priest shall tell the woman, 'Yahweh make you a
curse and an oath among your people, when Yahweh allows your thigh to
fall away, and your body to swell;
Num
5:22 and this water that brings a curse will go into your bowels,
and make your body swell, and your thigh fall away.' The woman shall
say, 'Amen, Amen.'
Num
5:23 "The priest shall write these curses in a book, and he
shall blot them out into the water of bitterness.
Num
5:24 He shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that
causes the curse; and the water that causes the curse shall enter
into her and become bitter.
Num
5:25 The priest shall take the meal offering of jealousy out of the
woman's hand, and shall wave the meal offering before Yahweh, and
bring it to the altar.
Num
5:26 The priest shall take a handful of the meal offering, as its
memorial, and burn it on the altar, and afterward shall make the
woman drink the water.
Num
5:27 When he has made her drink the water, then it shall happen, if
she is defiled, and has committed a trespass against her husband,
that the water that causes the curse will enter into her and become
bitter, and her body will swell, and her thigh will fall away: and
the woman will be a curse among her people.
Num
5:28 If the woman isn't defiled, but is clean; then she shall be
free, and shall conceive seed.
Num
5:29 "This is the law of jealousy, when a wife, being under her
husband, goes astray, and is defiled;
Num
5:30 or when the spirit of jealousy comes on a man, and he is
jealous of his wife; then he shall set the woman before Yahweh, and
the priest shall execute on her all this law.
Num
5:31 The man shall be free from iniquity, and that woman shall bear
her iniquity."
Num
6:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
6:2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them: When
either man or woman shall make a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite,
to separate himself to Yahweh,
Num
6:3 he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink. He shall
drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of fermented drink, neither
shall he drink any juice of grapes, nor eat fresh grapes or dried.
Num
6:4 All the days of his separation he shall eat nothing that is made
of the grapevine, from the seeds even to the skins.
Num
6:5 "All the days of his vow of separation there shall no razor
come on his head, until the days are fulfilled, in which he separates
himself to Yahweh. He shall be holy. He shall let the locks of the
hair of his head grow long.
Num
6:6 "All the days that he separates himself to Yahweh he shall
not go near a dead body.
Num
6:7 He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his
mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die; because
his separation to God is on his head.
Num
6:8 All the days of his separation he is holy to Yahweh.
Num
6:9 "If any man dies very suddenly beside him, and he defiles
the head of his separation; then he shall shave his head in the day
of his cleansing. On the seventh day he shall shave it.
Num
6:10 On the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves or two young
pigeons to the priest, to the door of the Tent of Meeting.
Num
6:11 The priest shall offer one for a sin offering, and the other
for a burnt offering, and make atonement for him, because he sinned
by reason of the dead, and shall make his head holy that same day.
Num
6:12 He shall separate to Yahweh the days of his separation, and
shall bring a male lamb a year old for a trespass offering; but the
former days shall be void, because his separation was defiled.
Num
6:13 "This is the law of the Nazirite: when the days of his
separation are fulfilled, he shall be brought to the door of the Tent
of Meeting,
Num
6:14 and he shall offer his offering to Yahweh, one male lamb a year
old without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb a year old
without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for
peace offerings,
Num
6:15 and a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mixed
with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and their meal
offering, and their drink offerings.
Num
6:16 The priest shall present them before Yahweh, and shall offer
his sin offering, and his burnt offering.
Num
6:17 He shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings to
Yahweh, with the basket of unleavened bread. The priest shall offer
also its meal offering, and its drink offering.
Num
6:18 The Nazirite shall shave the head of his separation at the door
of the Tent of Meeting, and shall take the hair of the head of his
separation, and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of
peace offerings.
Num
6:19 The priest shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram, and one
unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and
shall put them on the hands of the Nazirite, after he has shaved the
head of his separation;
Num
6:20 and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before
Yahweh. This is holy for the priest, together with the breast that is
waved and the thigh that is offered. After that the Nazirite may
drink wine.
Num
6:21 "This is the law of the Nazirite who vows, and of his
offering to Yahweh for his separation, besides that which he is able
to get. According to his vow which he vows, so he must do after the
law of his separation."
Num
6:22 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
6:23 "Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, 'This is how you
shall bless the children of Israel.' You shall tell them,
Num
6:24 'Yahweh bless you, and keep you.
Num
6:25 Yahweh make his face to shine on you, and be gracious to you.
Num
6:26 Yahweh lift up his face toward you, and give you peace.'
Num
6:27 "So they shall put my name on the children of Israel; and
I will bless them."

Luke 5
Luk 5:1
Now it happened, while the multitude pressed on him and heard the
word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret.
Luk 5:2
He saw two boats standing by the lake, but the fishermen had gone
out of them, and were washing their nets.
Luk 5:3
He entered into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and asked him
to put out a little from the land. He sat down and taught the
multitudes from the boat.
Luk 5:4
When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into
the deep, and let down your nets for a catch."
Luk 5:5
Simon answered him, "Master, we worked all night, and took
nothing; but at your word I will let down the net."
Luk 5:6
When they had done this, they caught a great multitude of fish, and
their net was breaking.
Luk 5:7
They beckoned to their partners in the other boat, that they should
come and help them. They came, and filled both boats, so that they
began to sink.
Luk 5:8
But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus' knees, saying,
"Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord."
Luk 5:9
For he was amazed, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish
which they had caught;
Luk
5:10 and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were
partners with Simon. Jesus said to Simon, "Don't be afraid. From
now on you will be catching people alive."
Luk
5:11 When they had brought their boats to land, they left
everything, and followed him.
Luk
5:12 It happened, while he was in one of the cities, behold, there
was a man full of leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell on his face,
and begged him, saying, "Lord, if you want to, you can make me
clean."
Luk
5:13 He stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, "I
want to. Be made clean." Immediately the leprosy left him.
Luk
5:14 He commanded him to tell no one, "But go your way, and
show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing according
to what Moses commanded, for a testimony to them."
Luk
5:15 But the report concerning him spread much more, and great
multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their
infirmities.
Luk
5:16 But he withdrew himself into the desert, and prayed.
Luk
5:17 It happened on one of those days, that he was teaching; and
there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come
out of every village of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. The power of
the Lord was with him to heal them.
Luk
5:18 Behold, men brought a paralyzed man on a cot, and they sought
to bring him in to lay before Jesus.
Luk
5:19 Not finding a way to bring him in because of the multitude,
they went up to the housetop, and let him down through the tiles with
his cot into the midst before Jesus.
Luk
5:20 Seeing their faith, he said to him, "Man, your sins are
forgiven you."
Luk
5:21 The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, "Who
is this that speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God
alone?"
Luk
5:22 But Jesus, perceiving their thoughts, answered them, "Why
are you reasoning so in your hearts?
Luk
5:23 Which is easier to say, 'Your sins are forgiven you;' or to
say, 'Arise and walk?'
Luk
5:24 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on
earth to forgive sins" (he said to the paralyzed man), "I
tell you, arise, and take up your cot, and go to your house."
Luk
5:25 Immediately he rose up before them, and took up that which he
was laying on, and departed to his house, glorifying God.
Luk
5:26 Amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God. They were
filled with fear, saying, "We have seen strange things today."
Luk
5:27 After these things he went out, and saw a tax collector named
Levi sitting at the tax office, and said to him, "Follow me!"
Luk
5:28 He left everything, and rose up and followed him.
Luk
5:29 Levi made a great feast for him in his house. There was a great
crowd of tax collectors and others who were reclining with them.
Luk
5:30 Their scribes and the Pharisees murmured against his disciples,
saying, "Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and
sinners?"
Luk
5:31 Jesus answered them, "Those who are healthy have no need
for a physician, but those who are sick do.
Luk
5:32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to
repentance."
Luk
5:33 They said to him, "Why do John's disciples often fast and
pray, likewise also the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and
drink?"
Luk
5:34 He said to them, "Can you make the friends of the
bridegroom fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
Luk
5:35 But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away
from them. Then they will fast in those days."
Luk
5:36 He also told a parable to them. "No one puts a piece from
a new garment on an old garment, or else he will tear the new, and
also the piece from the new will not match the old.
Luk
5:37 No one puts new wine into old wineskins, or else the new wine
will burst the skins, and it will be spilled, and the skins will be
destroyed.
Luk
5:38 But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins, and both are
preserved.
Luk
5:39 No man having drunk old wine immediately desires new, for he
says, 'The old is better.' "
