Exodus
15
Exo
15:1 Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to Yahweh,
and said, "I will sing to Yahweh, for he has triumphed
gloriously. The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.
Exo
15:2 Yah is my strength and song. He has become my salvation. This
is my God, and I will praise him; my father's God, and I will exalt
him.
Exo
15:3 Yahweh is a man of war. Yahweh is his name.
Exo
15:4 He has cast Pharaoh's chariots and his army into the sea. His
chosen captains are sunk in the Red Sea.
Exo
15:5 The deeps cover them. They went down into the depths like a
stone.
Exo
15:6 Your right hand, Yahweh, is glorious in power. Your right hand,
Yahweh, dashes the enemy in pieces.
Exo
15:7 In the greatness of your excellency, you overthrow those who
rise up against you. You send forth your wrath. It consumes them as
stubble.
Exo
15:8 With the blast of your nostrils, the waters were piled up. The
floods stood upright as a heap. The deeps were congealed in the heart
of the sea.
Exo
15:9 The enemy said, 'I will pursue. I will overtake. I will divide
the spoil. My desire shall be satisfied on them. I will draw my
sword, my hand shall destroy them.'
Exo
15:10 You blew with your wind. The sea covered them. They sank like
lead in the mighty waters.
Exo
15:11 Who is like you, Yahweh, among the gods? Who is like you,
glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
Exo
15:12 You stretched out your right hand. The earth swallowed them.
Exo
15:13 "You, in your loving kindness, have led the people that
you have redeemed. You have guided them in your strength to your holy
habitation.
Exo
15:14 The peoples have heard. They tremble. Pangs have taken hold on
the inhabitants of Philistia.
Exo
15:15 Then the chiefs of Edom were dismayed. Trembling takes hold of
the mighty men of Moab. All the inhabitants of Canaan are melted
away.
Exo
15:16 Terror and dread falls on them. By the greatness of your arm
they are as still as a stone-- until your people pass over, Yahweh,
until the people pass over who you have purchased.
Exo
15:17 You shall bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of
your inheritance, the place, Yahweh, which you have made for yourself
to dwell in; the sanctuary, Lord, which your hands have established.
Exo
15:18 Yahweh shall reign forever and ever."
Exo
15:19 For the horses of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with
his horsemen into the sea, and Yahweh brought back the waters of the
sea on them; but the children of Israel walked on dry land in the
midst of the sea.
Exo
15:20 Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a tambourine
in her hand; and all the women went out after her with tambourines
and with dances.
Exo
15:21 Miriam answered them, "Sing to Yahweh, for he has
triumphed gloriously. The horse and his rider he has thrown into the
sea."
Exo
15:22 Moses led Israel onward from the Red Sea, and they went out
into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the
wilderness, and found no water.
Exo
15:23 When they came to Marah, they couldn't drink from the waters
of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore its name was called Marah.
Exo
15:24 The people murmured against Moses, saying, "What shall we
drink?"
Exo
15:25 Then he cried to Yahweh. Yahweh showed him a tree, and he
threw it into the waters, and the waters were made sweet. There he
made a statute and an ordinance for them, and there he tested them;
Exo
15:26 and he said, "If you will diligently listen to the voice
of Yahweh your God, and will do that which is right in his eyes, and
will pay attention to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I
will put none of the diseases on you, which I have put on the
Egyptians; for I am Yahweh who heals you."
Exo
15:27 They came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water,
and seventy palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters.
Exodus
16
Exo
16:1 They took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of
the children of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which is
between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month
after their departing out of the land of Egypt.
Exo
16:2 The whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured
against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness;
Exo
16:3 and the children of Israel said to them, "We wish that we
had died by the hand of Yahweh in the land of Egypt, when we sat by
the meat pots, when we ate our fill of bread, for you have brought us
out into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger."
Exo
16:4 Then said Yahweh to Moses, "Behold, I will rain bread from
the sky for you, and the people shall go out and gather a day's
portion every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in my
law, or not.
Exo
16:5 It shall come to pass on the sixth day, that they shall prepare
that which they bring in, and it shall be twice as much as they
gather daily."
Exo
16:6 Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, "At
evening, then you shall know that Yahweh has brought you out from the
land of Egypt;
Exo
16:7 and in the morning, then you shall see the glory of Yahweh;
because he hears your murmurings against Yahweh. Who are we, that you
murmur against us?"
Exo
16:8 Moses said, "Now Yahweh shall give you meat to eat in the
evening, and in the morning bread to satisfy you; because Yahweh
hears your murmurings which you murmur against him. And who are we?
Your murmurings are not against us, but against Yahweh."
Exo
16:9 Moses said to Aaron, "Tell all the congregation of the
children of Israel, 'Come near before Yahweh, for he has heard your
murmurings.' "
Exo
16:10 It happened, as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the
children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and
behold, the glory of Yahweh appeared in the cloud.
Exo
16:11 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Exo
16:12 "I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel.
Speak to them, saying, 'At evening you shall eat meat, and in the
morning you shall be filled with bread: and you shall know that I am
Yahweh your God.' "
Exo
16:13 It happened at evening that quail came up and covered the
camp; and in the morning the dew lay around the camp.
Exo
16:14 When the dew that lay had gone, behold, on the surface of the
wilderness was a small round thing, small as the frost on the ground.
Exo
16:15 When the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another,
"What is it?" For they didn't know what it was. Moses said
to them, "It is the bread which Yahweh has given you to eat."
Exo
16:16 This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded: "Gather of
it everyone according to his eating; an omer a head, according to the
number of your persons, you shall take it, every man for those who
are in his tent."
Exo
16:17 The children of Israel did so, and gathered some more, some
less.
Exo
16:18 When they measured it with an omer, he who gathered much had
nothing over, and he who gathered little had no lack. They gathered
every man according to his eating.
Exo
16:19 Moses said to them, "Let no one leave of it until the
morning."
Exo
16:20 Notwithstanding they didn't listen to Moses, but some of them
left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and became foul: and
Moses was angry with them.
Exo
16:21 They gathered it morning by morning, everyone according to his
eating. When the sun grew hot, it melted.
Exo
16:22 It happened that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much
bread, two omers for each one, and all the rulers of the congregation
came and told Moses.
Exo
16:23 He said to them, "This is that which Yahweh has spoken,
'Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy Sabbath to Yahweh. Bake that which
you want to bake, and boil that which you want to boil; and all that
remains over lay up for yourselves to be kept until the morning.' "
Exo
16:24 They laid it up until the morning, as Moses asked, and it
didn't become foul, neither was there any worm in it.
Exo
16:25 Moses said, "Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to
Yahweh. Today you shall not find it in the field.
Exo
16:26 Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day is the
Sabbath. In it there shall be none."
Exo
16:27 It happened on the seventh day, that some of the people went
out to gather, and they found none.
Exo
16:28 Yahweh said to Moses, "How long do you refuse to keep my
commandments and my laws?
Exo
16:29 Behold, because Yahweh has given you the Sabbath, therefore he
gives you on the sixth day the bread of two days. Everyone stay in
his place. Let no one go out of his place on the seventh day."
Exo
16:30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
Exo
16:31 The house of Israel called its name Manna, and it was like
coriander seed, white; and its taste was like wafers with honey.
Exo
16:32 Moses said, "This is the thing which Yahweh has
commanded, 'Let an omer-full of it be kept throughout your
generations, that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the
wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.' "
Exo
16:33 Moses said to Aaron, "Take a pot, and put an omer-full of
manna in it, and lay it up before Yahweh, to be kept throughout your
generations."
Exo
16:34 As Yahweh commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the
Testimony, to be kept.
Exo
16:35 The children of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they
came to an inhabited land. They ate the manna until they came to the
borders of the land of Canaan.
Exo
16:36 Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
Mark 5
Mar 5:1
They came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the
Gadarenes.
Mar 5:2
When he had come out of the boat, immediately a man with an unclean
spirit met him out of the tombs.
Mar 5:3
He lived in the tombs. Nobody could bind him any more, not even with
chains,
Mar 5:4
because he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the
chains had been torn apart by him, and the fetters broken in pieces.
Nobody had the strength to tame him.
Mar 5:5
Always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was
crying out, and cutting himself with stones.
Mar 5:6
When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed down to him,
Mar 5:7
and crying out with a loud voice, he said, "What have I to do
with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God,
don't torment me."
Mar 5:8
For he said to him, "Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!"
Mar 5:9
He asked him, "What is your name?" He said to him, "My
name is Legion, for we are many."
Mar 5:10
He begged him much that he would not send them away out of the
country.
Mar 5:11
Now on the mountainside there was a great herd of pigs feeding.
Mar 5:12
All the demons begged him, saying, "Send us into the pigs, that
we may enter into them."
Mar 5:13
At once Jesus gave them permission. The unclean spirits came out and
entered into the pigs. The herd of about two thousand rushed down the
steep bank into the sea, and they were drowned in the sea.
Mar 5:14
Those who fed them fled, and told it in the city and in the country.
The people came to see what it was that had happened.
Mar 5:15
They came to Jesus, and saw him who had been possessed by demons
sitting, clothed, and in his right mind, even him who had the legion;
and they were afraid.
Mar 5:16
Those who saw it declared to them how it happened to him who was
possessed by demons, and about the pigs.
Mar 5:17
They began to beg him to depart from their region.
Mar 5:18
As he was entering into the boat, he who had been possessed by demons
begged him that he might be with him.
Mar 5:19
He didn't allow him, but said to him, "Go to your house, to your
friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you,
and how he had mercy on you."
Mar 5:20
He went his way, and began to proclaim in Decapolis how Jesus had
done great things for him, and everyone marveled.
Mar 5:21
When Jesus had crossed back over in the boat to the other side, a
great multitude was gathered to him; and he was by the sea.
Mar 5:22
Behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, came; and
seeing him, he fell at his feet,
Mar 5:23
and begged him much, saying, "My little daughter is at the point
of death. Please come and lay your hands on her, that she may be made
healthy, and live."
Mar 5:24
He went with him, and a great multitude followed him, and they
pressed upon him on all sides.
Mar 5:25
A certain woman, who had an issue of blood for twelve years,
Mar 5:26
and had suffered many things by many physicians, and had spent all
that she had, and was no better, but rather grew worse,
Mar 5:27
having heard the things concerning Jesus, came up behind him in the
crowd, and touched his clothes.
Mar 5:28
For she said, "If I just touch his clothes, I will be made
well."
Mar 5:29
Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her
body that she was healed of her affliction.
Mar 5:30
Immediately Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power had gone out
from him, turned around in the crowd, and asked, "Who touched my
clothes?"
Mar 5:31
His disciples said to him, "You see the multitude pressing
against you, and you say, 'Who touched me?' "
Mar 5:32
He looked around to see her who had done this thing.
Mar 5:33
But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to
her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
Mar 5:34
He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in
peace, and be cured of your disease."
Mar 5:35
While he was still speaking, people came from the synagogue ruler's
house saying, "Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher any
more?"
Mar 5:36
But Jesus, when he heard the message spoken, immediately said to the
ruler of the synagogue, "Don't be afraid, only believe."
Mar 5:37
He allowed no one to follow him, except Peter, James, and John the
brother of James.
Mar 5:38
He came to the synagogue ruler's house, and he saw an uproar,
weeping, and great wailing.
Mar 5:39
When he had entered in, he said to them, "Why do you make an
uproar and weep? The child is not dead, but is asleep."
Mar 5:40
They ridiculed him. But he, having put them all out, took the father
of the child, her mother, and those who were with him, and went in
where the child was lying.
Mar 5:41
Taking the child by the hand, he said to her, "Talitha cumi!"
which means, being interpreted, "Girl, I tell you, get up!"
Mar 5:42
Immediately the girl rose up and walked, for she was twelve years
old. They were amazed with great amazement.
Mar 5:43
He strictly ordered them that no one should know this, and commanded
that something should be given to her to eat.
