Num
7:1 It happened on the day that Moses had finished setting up the
tabernacle, and had anointed it and sanctified it, with all its
furniture, and the altar with all its vessels, and had anointed and
sanctified them;
Num
7:2 that the princes of Israel, the heads of their fathers' houses,
offered. These were the princes of the tribes. These are they who
were over those who were numbered:

Num
7:89 When Moses went into the Tent of Meeting to speak with Yahweh,
he heard his voice speaking to him from above the mercy seat that was
on the ark of the Testimony, from between the two cherubim: and he
spoke to him.
Num
8:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
8:2 "Speak to Aaron, and tell him, 'When you light the lamps,
the seven lamps shall give light in front of the lampstand.' "
Num
8:3 Aaron did so. He lit its lamps to light the area in front of the
lampstand, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
Num
8:4 This was the workmanship of the lampstand, beaten work of gold.
From its base to its flowers, it was beaten work: according to the
pattern which Yahweh had shown Moses, so he made the lampstand.
Num
8:5 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
8:6 "Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and
cleanse them.
Num
8:7 You shall do this to them, to cleanse them: sprinkle the water
of cleansing on them, let them shave their whole bodies with a razor,
and let them wash their clothes, and cleanse themselves.
Num
8:8 Then let them take a young bull, and its meal offering, fine
flour mixed with oil; and another young bull you shall take for a sin
offering.
Num
8:9 You shall present the Levites before the Tent of Meeting. You
shall assemble the whole congregation of the children of Israel.
Num
8:10 You shall present the Levites before Yahweh. The children of
Israel shall lay their hands on the Levites,
Num
8:11 and Aaron shall offer the Levites before Yahweh for a wave
offering, on the behalf of the children of Israel, that it may be
theirs to do the service of Yahweh.
Num
8:12 The Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the bulls,
and you shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a
burnt offering to Yahweh, to make atonement for the Levites.
Num
8:13 You shall set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons,
and offer them as a wave offering to Yahweh.
Num
8:14 Thus you shall separate the Levites from among the children of
Israel, and the Levites shall be mine.
Num
8:15 "After that, the Levites shall go in to do the service of
the Tent of Meeting: and you shall cleanse them, and offer them as a
wave offering.
Num
8:16 For they are wholly given to me from among the children of
Israel; instead of all who open the womb, even the firstborn of all
the children of Israel, I have taken them to me.
Num
8:17 For all the firstborn among the children of Israel are mine,
both man and animal. On the day that I struck all the firstborn in
the land of Egypt, I sanctified them for myself.
Num
8:18 I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the
children of Israel.
Num
8:19 I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons
from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children
of Israel in the Tent of Meeting, and to make atonement for the
children of Israel; that there be no plague among the children of
Israel, when the children of Israel come near to the sanctuary."
Num
8:20 Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of
Israel did so to the Levites. According to all that Yahweh commanded
Moses concerning the Levites, so the children of Israel did to them.
Num
8:21 The Levites purified themselves from sin, and they washed their
clothes; and Aaron offered them for a wave offering before Yahweh;
and Aaron made atonement for them to cleanse them.
Num
8:22 After that, the Levites went in to do their service in the Tent
of Meeting before Aaron, and before his sons: as Yahweh had commanded
Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to them.
Num
8:23 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
8:24 "This is that which belongs to the Levites: from
twenty-five years old and upward they shall go in to wait on the
service in the work of the Tent of Meeting;
Num
8:25 and from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting on the
work, and shall serve no more,
Num
8:26 but shall minister with their brothers in the Tent of Meeting,
to perform the duty, and shall do no service. You shall do thus to
the Levites concerning their duties."
Numbers
9, 10
Num
9:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first
month of the second year after they had come out of the land of
Egypt, saying,
Num
9:2 "Moreover let the children of Israel keep the Passover in
its appointed season.
Num
9:3 On the fourteenth day of this month, at evening, you shall keep
it in its appointed season--according to all its statutes, and
according to all its ordinances, you shall keep it."
Num
9:4 Moses spoke to the children of Israel, that they should keep the
Passover.
Num
9:5 They kept the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day
of the month, at evening, in the wilderness of Sinai. According to
all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did.
Num
9:6 There were certain men, who were unclean because of the dead
body of a man, so that they could not keep the Passover on that day,
and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day.
Num
9:7 Those men said to him, "We are unclean because of the dead
body of a man. Why are we kept back, that we may not offer the
offering of Yahweh in its appointed season among the children of
Israel?"
Num
9:8 Moses answered them, "Wait, that I may hear what Yahweh
will command concerning you."
Num
9:9 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
9:10 "Say to the children of Israel, 'If any man of you or of
your generations is unclean by reason of a dead body, or is on a
journey far away, he shall still keep the Passover to Yahweh.
Num
9:11 In the second month, on the fourteenth day at evening they
shall keep it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter
herbs.
Num
9:12 They shall leave none of it until the morning, nor break a bone
of it. According to all the statute of the Passover they shall keep
it.
Num
9:13 But the man who is clean, and is not on a journey, and fails to
keep the Passover, that soul shall be cut off from his people.
Because he didn't offer the offering of Yahweh in its appointed
season, that man shall bear his sin.
Num
9:14 If a foreigner lives among you, and desires to keep the
Passover to Yahweh; according to the statute of the Passover, and
according to its ordinance, so shall he do. You shall have one
statute, both for the foreigner, and for him who is born in the
land.' "
Num
9:15 On the day that the tabernacle was raised up, the cloud covered
the tabernacle, even the Tent of the Testimony: and at evening it was
over the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until morning.
Num
9:16 So it was continually. The cloud covered it, and the appearance
of fire by night.
Num
9:17 Whenever the cloud was taken up from over the Tent, then after
that the children of Israel traveled; and in the place where the
cloud remained, there the children of Israel encamped.
Num
9:18 At the commandment of Yahweh, the children of Israel traveled,
and at the commandment of Yahweh they encamped. As long as the cloud
remained on the tabernacle they remained encamped.
Num
9:19 When the cloud stayed on the tabernacle many days, then the
children of Israel kept Yahweh's command, and didn't travel.
Num
9:20 Sometimes the cloud was a few days on the tabernacle; then
according to the commandment of Yahweh they remained encamped, and
according to the commandment of Yahweh they traveled.
Num
9:21 Sometimes the cloud was from evening until morning; and when
the cloud was taken up in the morning, they traveled: or by day and
by night, when the cloud was taken up, they traveled.
Num
9:22 Whether it was two days, or a month, or a year that the cloud
stayed on the tabernacle, remaining on it, the children of Israel
remained encamped, and didn't travel; but when it was taken up, they
traveled.
Num
9:23 At the commandment of Yahweh they encamped, and at the
commandment of Yahweh they traveled. They kept Yahweh's command, at
the commandment of Yahweh by Moses.
Num
10:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
10:2 "Make two trumpets of silver. You shall make them of
beaten work. You shall use them for the calling of the congregation,
and for the journeying of the camps.
Num
10:3 When they blow them, all the congregation shall gather
themselves to you at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
Num
10:4 If they blow just one, then the princes, the heads of the
thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves to you.
Num
10:5 When you blow an alarm, the camps that lie on the east side
shall go forward.
Num
10:6 When you blow an alarm the second time, the camps that lie on
the south side shall go forward. They shall blow an alarm for their
journeys.
Num
10:7 But when the assembly is to be gathered together, you shall
blow, but you shall not sound an alarm.
Num
10:8 The sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets. This
shall be to you for a statute forever throughout your generations.
Num
10:9 When you go to war in your land against the adversary who
oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets. Then
you will be remembered before Yahweh your God, and you will be saved
from your enemies.
Num
10:10 "Also in the day of your gladness, and in your set
feasts, and in the beginnings of your months, you shall blow the
trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your
peace offerings; and they shall be to you for a memorial before your
God. I am Yahweh your God."
Num
10:11 It happened in the second year, in the second month, on the
twentieth day of the month, that the cloud was taken up from over the
tabernacle of the testimony.
Num
10:12 The children of Israel went forward according to their
journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud abode in the
wilderness of Paran.
Num
10:13 They first went forward according to the commandment of Yahweh
by Moses.
Num
10:14 First, the standard of the camp of the children of Judah went
forward according to their armies. Nahshon the son of Amminadab was
over his army.
Num
10:15 Nethanel the son of Zuar was over the army of the tribe of the
children of Issachar.
Num
10:16 Eliab the son of Helon was over the army of the tribe of the
children of Zebulun.

10:17 The tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the
sons of Merari, who bore the tabernacle, went forward.
Num
10:18 The standard of the camp of Reuben went forward according to
their armies. Elizur the son of Shedeur was over his army.
Num
10:19 Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai was over the army of the
tribe of the children of Simeon.
Num
10:20 Eliasaph the son of Deuel was over the army of the tribe of

Num
10:21 The Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary. The others
set up the tabernacle before they arrived.
Num
10:22 The standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set
forward according to their armies. Elishama the son of Ammihud was
over his army.
Num
10:23 Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur was over the army of the tribe of
the children of Manasseh.
Num
10:24 Abidan the son of Gideoni was over the army of the tribe of
the children of Benjamin.
Num
10:25 The standard of the camp of the children of Dan, which was the
rearward of all the camps, set forward according to their armies.
Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai was over his army.
Num
10:26 Pagiel the son of Ochran was over the army of the tribe of the
children of Asher.
Num
10:27 Ahira the son of Enan was over the army of the tribe of the
children of Naphtali.
Num
10:28 Thus were the travels of the children of Israel according to
their armies; and they went forward.
Num
10:29 Moses said to Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses'
father-in-law, "We are journeying to the place of which Yahweh
said, 'I will give it to you.' Come with us, and we will treat you
well; for Yahweh has spoken good concerning Israel."
Num
10:30 He said to him, "I will not go; but I will depart to my
own land, and to my relatives."
Num
10:31 He said, "Don't leave us, please; because you know how we
are to encamp in the wilderness, and you can be our eyes.
Num
10:32 It shall be, if you go with us, yes, it shall be, that
whatever good Yahweh does to us, we will do the same to you."
Num
10:33 They set forward from the Mount of Yahweh three days' journey.
The ark of the covenant of Yahweh went before them three days'
journey, to seek out a resting place for them.
Num
10:34 The cloud of Yahweh was over them by day, when they set
forward from the camp.
Num
10:35 It happened, when the ark went forward, that Moses said, "Rise
up, Yahweh, and let your enemies be scattered! Let those who hate you
flee before you!"
Num
10:36 When it rested, he said, "Return, Yahweh, to the ten
thousands of the thousands of Israel."

Luke 6
Luk 6:1
Now it happened on the second Sabbath after the first, that he was
going through the grain fields. His disciples plucked the heads of
grain, and ate, rubbing them in their hands.
Luk 6:2
But some of the Pharisees said to them, "Why do you do that
which is not lawful to do on the Sabbath day?"
Luk 6:3
Jesus, answering them, said, "Haven't you read what David did
when he was hungry, he, and those who were with him;
Luk 6:4
how he entered into the house of God, and took and ate the show
bread, and gave also to those who were with him, which is not lawful
to eat except for the priests alone?"
Luk 6:5
He said to them, "The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath."
Luk 6:6
It also happened on another Sabbath that he entered into the
synagogue and taught. There was a man there, and his right hand was
withered.
Luk 6:7
The scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would
heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an accusation against him.
Luk 6:8
But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man who had the
withered hand, "Rise up, and stand in the middle." He arose
and stood.
Luk 6:9
Then Jesus said to them, "I will ask you something: Is it
lawful on the Sabbath to do good, or to do harm? To save a life, or
to kill?"
Luk
6:10 He looked around at them all, and said to the man, "Stretch
out your hand." He did, and his hand was restored as sound as
the other.
Luk
6:11 But they were filled with rage, and talked with one another
about what they might do to Jesus.
Luk
6:12 It happened in these days, that he went out to the mountain to
pray, and he continued all night in prayer to God.
Luk
6:13 When it was day, he called his disciples, and from them he
chose twelve, whom he also named apostles:
Luk
6:14 Simon, whom he also named Peter; Andrew, his brother; James;
John; Philip; Bartholomew;
Luk
6:15 Matthew; Thomas; James, the son of Alphaeus; Simon, who was
called the Zealot;
Luk
6:16 Judas the son of James; and Judas Iscariot, who also became a
traitor.
Luk
6:17 He came down with them, and stood on a level place, with a
crowd of his disciples, and a great number of the people from all
Judea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to
hear him and to be healed of their diseases;
Luk
6:18 as well as those who were troubled by unclean spirits, and they
were being healed.
Luk
6:19 All the multitude sought to touch him, for power came out from
him and healed them all.
Luk
6:20 He lifted up his eyes to his disciples, and said, "Blessed
are you who are poor, for yours is the Kingdom of God.
Luk
6:21 Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed
are you who weep now, for you will laugh.
Luk
6:22 Blessed are you when men shall hate you, and when they shall
exclude and mock you, and throw out your name as evil, for the Son of
Man's sake.
Luk
6:23 Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward
is great in heaven, for their fathers did the same thing to the
prophets.
Luk
6:24 "But woe to you who are rich! For you have received your
consolation.
Luk
6:25 Woe to you, you who are full now, for you will be hungry. Woe
to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.
Luk
6:26 Woe, when men speak well of you, for their fathers did the same
thing to the false prophets.
Luk
6:27 "But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to
those who hate you,
Luk
6:28 bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you.
Luk
6:29 To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer also the other; and
from him who takes away your cloak, don't withhold your coat also.
Luk
6:30 Give to everyone who asks you, and don't ask him who takes away
your goods to give them back again.
Luk
6:31 "As you would like people to do to you, do exactly so to
them.
Luk
6:32 If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For
even sinners love those who love them.
Luk
6:33 If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that
to you? For even sinners do the same.
Luk
6:34 If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit
is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive back as
much.
Luk
6:35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing
back; and your reward will be great, and you will be children of the
Most High; for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil.
Luk
6:36 Therefore be merciful, even as your Father is also merciful.
Luk
6:37 Don't judge, and you won't be judged. Don't condemn, and you
won't be condemned. Set free, and you will be set free.
Luk
6:38 "Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed
down, shaken together, and running over, will be given to you. For
with the same measure you measure it will be measured back to you."
Luk
6:39 He spoke a parable to them. "Can the blind guide the
blind? Won't they both fall into a pit?
Luk
6:40 A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is
fully trained will be like his teacher.
Luk
6:41 Why do you see the speck of chaff that is in your brother's
eye, but don't consider the beam that is in your own eye?
Luk
6:42 Or how can you tell your brother, 'Brother, let me remove the
speck of chaff that is in your eye,' when you yourself don't see the
beam that is in your own eye? You hypocrite! First remove the beam
from your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck
of chaff that is in your brother's eye.
Luk
6:43 For there is no good tree that brings forth rotten fruit; nor
again a rotten tree that brings forth good fruit.
Luk
6:44 For each tree is known by its own fruit. For people don't
gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble
bush.
Luk
6:45 The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings out
that which is good, and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his
heart brings out that which is evil, for out of the abundance of the
heart, his mouth speaks.
Luk
6:46 "Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and don't do the things
which I say?
Luk
6:47 Everyone who comes to me, and hears my words, and does them, I
will show you who he is like.
Luk
6:48 He is like a man building a house, who dug and went deep, and
laid a foundation on the rock. When a flood arose, the stream broke
against that house, and could not shake it, because it was founded on
the rock.
Luk
6:49 But he who hears, and doesn't do, is like a man who built a
house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream
broke, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was
great."
