27, 28
Num
27:1 Then drew near the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher,
the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the
families of Manasseh the son of Joseph; and these are the names of
his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
Num
27:2 They stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and
before the princes and all the congregation, at the door of the Tent
of Meeting, saying,
Num
27:3 Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not among the
company of those who gathered themselves together against Yahweh in
the company of Korah: but he died in his own sin; and he had no sons.
Num
27:4 Why should the name of our father be taken away from among his
family, because he had no son? Give to us a possession among the
brothers of our father.
Num
27:5 Moses brought their cause before Yahweh.
Num
27:6 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
27:7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: you shall surely give
them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brothers;
and you shall cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them.
Num
27:8 You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, If a man
die, and have no son, then you shall cause his inheritance to pass to
his daughter.
Num
27:9 If he have no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to
his brothers.
Num
27:10 If he have no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to
his father's brothers.
Num
27:11 If his father has no brothers, then you shall give his
inheritance to his kinsman who is next to him of his family, and he
shall possess it: and it shall be to the children of Israel a statute
and
ordinance, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
Num
27:12 Yahweh said to Moses, Go up into this mountain of Abarim, and
see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.
Num
27:13 When you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to your
people, as Aaron your brother was gathered;
Num
27:14 because you rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin,
in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the waters
before their eyes. (These are the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the
wilderness of Zin.)
Num
27:15 Moses spoke to Yahweh, saying,
Num
27:16 Let Yahweh, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man
over the congregation,
Num
27:17 who may go out before them, and who may come in before them,
and who may lead them out, and who may bring them in; that the
congregation of Yahweh not be as sheep which have no shepherd.
Num
27:18 Yahweh said to Moses, Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in
whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand on him;
Num
27:19 and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the
congregation; and commission him in their sight.
Num
27:20 You shall put of your honor on him, that all the congregation
of the children of Israel may obey.
Num
27:21 He shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire
for him by the judgment of the Urim before Yahweh: at his word shall
they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the
children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.
Num
27:22 Moses did as Yahweh commanded him; and he took Joshua, and set
him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:
Num
27:23 and he laid his hands on him, and commissioned him, as Yahweh
spoke by Moses.
Num
28:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
28:2 Command the children of Israel, and tell them, My offering, my
food for my offerings made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to me, you
shall observe to offer to me in their due season.
Num
28:3 You shall tell them, This is the offering made by fire which
you shall offer to Yahweh: male lambs a year old without blemish, two
day by day, for a continual burnt offering.
Num
28:4 You shall offer the one lamb in the morning, and you shall
offer the other lamb at evening;
Num
28:5 with the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meal
offering, mixed with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil.
Num
28:6 It is a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in Mount
Sinai for a pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire to Yahweh.
Num
28:7 Its drink offering shall be the fourth part of a hin for the
one lamb. You shall pour out a drink offering of strong drink to
Yahweh in the holy place.
Num
28:8 The other lamb you shall offer at evening: as the meal offering
of the morning, and as the drink offering of it, you shall offer it,
an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.
Num
28:9 On the Sabbath day two male lambs a year old without blemish,
and two tenth parts of an ephah
of fine flour for a meal offering, mixed with oil, and the drink
offering of it:
Num
28:10 this is the burnt offering of every Sabbath, besides the
continual burnt offering, and the drink offering of it.
Num
28:11 In the beginnings of your months you shall offer a burnt
offering to Yahweh: two young bulls, and one ram, seven male lambs a
year old without blemish;
Num
28:12 and three tenth parts of an ephah
of fine flour for a meal offering, mixed with oil, for each bull; and
two tenth parts of fine flour for a meal offering, mixed with oil,
for the one ram;
Num
28:13 and a tenth part of fine flour mixed with oil for a meal
offering to every lamb; for a burnt offering of a pleasant aroma, an
offering made by fire to Yahweh.
Num
28:14 Their drink offerings shall be half a hin of wine for a bull,
and the third part of a hin for the ram, and the fourth part of a hin
for a lamb: this is the burnt offering of every month throughout the
months of the year.
Num
28:15 One male goat for a sin offering to Yahweh; it shall be
offered besides the continual burnt offering, and the drink offering
of it.
Num
28:16 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, is
Yahweh's Passover.
Num
28:17 On the fifteenth day of this month shall be a feast: seven
days shall unleavened bread be eaten.
Num
28:18 In the first day shall be a holy convocation: you shall do no
servile work;
Num
28:19 but you shall offer an offering made by fire, a burnt offering
to Yahweh: two young bulls, and one ram, and seven male lambs a year
old; they shall be to you without blemish;
Num
28:20 and their meal offering, fine flour mixed with oil: you shall
offer three tenth parts for a bull, and two tenth parts for the ram.
Num
28:21 You shall offer a tenth part for every lamb of the seven
lambs;
Num
28:22 and one male goat for a sin offering, to make atonement for
you.
Num
28:23 You shall offer these besides the burnt offering of the
morning, which is for a continual burnt offering.
Num
28:24 After this manner you shall offer daily, for seven days, the
food of the offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh: it
shall be offered besides the continual burnt offering, and the drink
offering of it.
Num
28:25 On the seventh day you shall have a holy convocation: you
shall do no servile work.
Num
28:26 Also in the day of the first fruits, when you offer a new meal
offering to Yahweh in your feast of
weeks, you shall have a holy convocation; you shall do no servile
work;
Num
28:27 but you shall offer a burnt offering for a pleasant aroma to
Yahweh: two young bulls, one ram, seven male lambs a year old;
Num
28:28 and their meal offering, fine flour mixed with oil, three
tenth parts for each bull, two tenth parts for the one ram,
Num
28:29 a tenth part for every lamb of the seven lambs;
Num
28:30 one male goat, to make atonement for you.
Num
28:31 Besides the continual burnt offering, and the meal offering of
it, you shall offer them (they shall be to you without blemish), and
their drink offerings.
Numbers

Num
29:40 Moses told the children of Israel according to all that Yahweh
commanded Moses.
Num
30:1 Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of
Israel, saying, This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded.
Num
30:2 When a man vows a vow to Yahweh, or swears an oath to bind his
soul with a bond, he shall not break his word; he shall do according
to all that proceeds out of his mouth.
Num
30:3 Also when a woman vows a vow to Yahweh, and binds herself by a
bond, being in her father's house, in her youth,
Num
30:4 and her father hears her vow, and her bond with which she has
bound her soul, and her father holds his peace at her; then all her
vows shall stand, and every bond with which she has bound her soul
shall stand.
Num
30:5 But if her father disallow her in the day that he hears, none
of her vows, or of her bonds with which she has bound her soul, shall
stand: and Yahweh will forgive her, because her father disallowed
her.
Num
30:6 If she be married
to a husband, while her vows are on her, or the rash utterance of her
lips, with which she has bound her soul,
Num
30:7 and her husband hear it, and hold his peace at her in the day
that he hears it; then her vows shall stand, and her bonds with which
she has bound her soul shall stand.
Num
30:8 But if her husband disallow her in the day that he hears it,
then he shall make void her vow which is on her, and the rash
utterance of her lips, with which she has bound her soul: and Yahweh
will forgive her.
Num
30:9 But the vow of a widow, or of her who is divorced, even
everything with which she has bound her soul, shall stand against
her.
Num
30:10 If she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a
bond with an oath,
Num
30:11 and her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and
didn't disallow her; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond
with which she bound her soul shall stand.
Num
30:12 But if her husband made them null and void in the day that he
heard them, then whatever proceeded out of her lips concerning her
vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her
husband has made them void; and Yahweh will forgive her.
Num
30:13 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her
husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.
Num
30:14 But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day
to day, then he establishes all her vows, or all her bonds, which are
on her: he has established them, because he held his peace at her in
the day that he heard them.
Num
30:15 But if he shall make them null and void after that he has
heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity.
Num
30:16 These are the statutes, which Yahweh commanded Moses, between
a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, being in her
youth, in her father's house.
Luke 11
Luk
11:1 It happened, that when he finished praying in a certain place,
one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, just
as John also taught his disciples."
Luk
11:2 He said to them, "When you pray, say, 'Our Father in
heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come. May your
will be done on Earth, as it is in heaven.
Luk
11:3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
Luk
11:4 Forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who
is indebted to us. Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from
the evil one.' "
Luk
11:5 He said to them, "Which of you, if you go to a friend at
midnight, and tell him, 'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
Luk
11:6 for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have
nothing to set before him,'
Luk
11:7 and he from within will answer and say, 'Don't bother me. The
door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I can't get up
and give it to you'?
Luk
11:8 I tell you, although he will not rise and give it to him
because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence, he will get
up and give him as many as he needs.
Luk
11:9 "I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep
seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to
you.
Luk
11:10 For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who
knocks it will be opened.
Luk
11:11 "Which of you fathers, if your son asks for bread, will
give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he won't give him a snake
instead of a fish, will he?
Luk
11:12 Or if he asks for an egg, he won't give him a scorpion, will
he?
Luk
11:13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your
children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy
Spirit to those who ask him?"
Luk
11:14 He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. It happened, when
the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the multitudes
marveled.
Luk
11:15 But some of them said, "He casts out demons by Beelzebul,
the prince of the demons."
Luk
11:16 Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven.
Luk
11:17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, "Every
kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house
divided against itself falls.
Luk
11:18 If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom
stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
Luk
11:19 But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your
children cast them out? Therefore will they be your judges.
Luk
11:20 But if I by the finger of God cast out demons, then the
Kingdom of God has come to you.
Luk
11:21 "When the strong man, fully armed, guards his own
dwelling, his goods are safe.
Luk
11:22 But when someone stronger attacks him and overcomes him, he
takes from him his whole armor in which he trusted, and divides his
spoils.
Luk
11:23 "He that is not with me is against me. He who doesn't
gather with me scatters.
Luk
11:24 The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of the man, passes
through dry places, seeking rest, and finding none, he says, 'I will
turn back to my house from which I came out.'
Luk
11:25 When he returns, he finds it swept and put in order.
Luk
11:26 Then he goes, and takes seven other spirits more evil than
himself, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that
man becomes worse than the first."
Luk
11:27 It came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out
of the multitude lifted up her voice, and said to him, "Blessed
is the womb that bore you, and the breasts which nursed you!"
Luk
11:28 But he said, "On the contrary, blessed are those who hear
the word of God, and keep it."
Luk
11:29 When the multitudes were gathering together to him, he began
to say, "This is an evil generation. It seeks after a sign. No
sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah, the prophet.
Luk
11:30 For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will also
the Son of Man be to this generation.
Luk
11:31 The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the
men of this generation, and will condemn them: for she came from the
ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, one
greater than Solomon is here.
Luk
11:32 The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this
generation, and will condemn it: for they repented at the preaching
of Jonah, and behold, one greater than Jonah is here.
Luk
11:33 "No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a cellar or
under a basket, but on a stand, that those who come in may see the
light.
Luk
11:34 The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is
good, your whole body is also full of light; but when it is evil,
your body also is full of darkness.
Luk
11:35 Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn't darkness.
Luk
11:36 If therefore your whole body is full of light, having no part
dark, it will be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its
bright shining gives you light."
Luk
11:37 Now as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with
him. He went in, and sat at the table.
Luk
11:38 When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first
washed himself before dinner.
Luk
11:39 The Lord said to him, "Now you Pharisees cleanse the
outside of the cup and of the platter, but your inward part is full
of extortion and wickedness.
Luk
11:40 You foolish ones, didn't he who made the outside make the
inside also?
Luk
11:41 But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within,
and behold, all things will be clean to you.
Luk
11:42 But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every
herb, but you bypass justice and the love of God. You ought to have
done these, and not to have left the other undone.
Luk
11:43 Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the
synagogues, and the greetings in the marketplaces.
Luk
11:44 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are
like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don't know it."
Luk
11:45 One of the lawyers answered him, "Teacher, in saying this
you insult us also."
Luk
11:46 He said, "Woe to you lawyers also! For you load men with
burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won't even
lift one finger to help carry those burdens.
Luk
11:47 Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your
fathers killed them.
Luk
11:48 So you testify and consent to the works of your fathers. For
they killed them, and you build their tombs.
Luk
11:49 Therefore also the wisdom of God said, 'I will send to them
prophets and apostles; and some of them they will kill and persecute,
Luk
11:50 that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the
foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
Luk
11:51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who perished
between the altar and the sanctuary.' Yes, I tell you, it will be
required of this generation.
Luk
11:52 Woe to you lawyers! For you took away the key of knowledge.
You didn't enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you
hindered."
Luk
11:53 As he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees
began to be terribly angry, and to draw many things out of him;
Luk
11:54 lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch him in something
he might say, that they might accuse him.
