Numbers chapter 32

Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle;

The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the princes of the congregation, saying,

Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,

Even the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and your servants have cattle:

Why, said they, if we have found grace in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for a possession, and bring us not over Jordan.

And Moses said to the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brothers go to war, and shall you sit here?

And why discourage you the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD has given them?

Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadeshbarnea to see the land.

For when they went up to the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.

And the LORD's anger was kindled the same time, and he swore, saying,

Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:

Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD.

And the LORD's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed.

And, behold, you are risen up in your fathers' stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel.

For if you turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and you shall destroy all this people.

And they came near to him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:

But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them to their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land.

We will not return to our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.

For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward.

And Moses said to them, If you will do this thing, if you will go armed before the LORD to war,

And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD, until he has driven out his enemies from before him,

And the land be subdued before the LORD: then afterward you shall return, and be guiltless before the LORD, and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the LORD.

But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.

Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which has proceeded out of your mouth.

And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, Your servants will do as my lord commands.

Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead:

But your servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord said.

So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel:

And Moses said to them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed to battle, before the LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you; then you shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession:

But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.

And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the LORD has said to your servants, so will we do.

We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan may be ours.

And Moses gave to them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and to half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, with the cities thereof in the coasts, even the cities of the country round about.

And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,

And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,

And Bethnimrah, and Bethharan, fenced cities: and folds for sheep.

And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,

And Nebo, and Baalmeon, (their names being changed, ) and Shibmah: and gave other names to the cities which they built.

And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite which was in it.

And Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelled therein.

And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small towns thereof, and called them Havothjair.

And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name.

Numbers chapter 33

These are the journeys of the children of Israel, which went forth out of the land of Egypt with their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron.

And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the commandment of the LORD: and these are their journeys according to their goings out.

And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the morrow after the passover the children of Israel went out with an high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians.

For the Egyptians buried all their firstborn, which the LORD had smitten among them: on their gods also the LORD executed judgments.

And the children of Israel removed from Rameses, and pitched in Succoth.

And they departed from Succoth, and pitched in Etham, which is in the edge of the wilderness.

And they removed from Etham, and turned again to Pihahiroth, which is before Baalzephon: and they pitched before Migdol.

And they departed from before Pihahiroth, and passed through the middle of the sea into the wilderness, and went three days' journey in the wilderness of Etham, and pitched in Marah.

And they removed from Marah, and came to Elim: and in Elim were twelve fountains of water, and three score and ten palm trees; and they pitched there.

And they removed from Elim, and encamped by the Red sea.

And they removed from the Red sea, and encamped in the wilderness of Sin.

And they took their journey out of the wilderness of Sin, and encamped in Dophkah.

And they departed from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush.

And they removed from Alush, and encamped at Rephidim, where was no water for the people to drink.

And they departed from Rephidim, and pitched in the wilderness of Sinai.

And they removed from the desert of Sinai, and pitched at Kibrothhattaavah.

And they departed from Kibrothhattaavah, and encamped at Hazeroth.

And they departed from Hazeroth, and pitched in Rithmah.

And they departed from Rithmah, and pitched at Rimmonparez.

And they departed from Rimmonparez, and pitched in Libnah.

And they removed from Libnah, and pitched at Rissah.

And they journeyed from Rissah, and pitched in Kehelathah.

And they went from Kehelathah, and pitched in mount Shapher.

And they removed from mount Shapher, and encamped in Haradah.

And they removed from Haradah, and pitched in Makheloth.

And they removed from Makheloth, and encamped at Tahath.

And they departed from Tahath, and pitched at Tarah.

And they removed from Tarah, and pitched in Mithcah.

And they went from Mithcah, and pitched in Hashmonah.

And they departed from Hashmonah, and encamped at Moseroth.

And they departed from Moseroth, and pitched in Benejaakan.

And they removed from Benejaakan, and encamped at Horhagidgad.

And they went from Horhagidgad, and pitched in Jotbathah.

And they removed from Jotbathah, and encamped at Ebronah.

And they departed from Ebronah, and encamped at Eziongaber.

And they removed from Eziongaber, and pitched in the wilderness of Zin, which is Kadesh.

And they removed from Kadesh, and pitched in mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom.

And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of the LORD, and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the first day of the fifth month.

And Aaron was an hundred and twenty and three years old when he died in mount Hor.

And king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelled in the south in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel.

And they departed from mount Hor, and pitched in Zalmonah.

And they departed from Zalmonah, and pitched in Punon.

And they departed from Punon, and pitched in Oboth.

And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in Ijeabarim, in the border of Moab.

And they departed from Iim, and pitched in Dibongad.

And they removed from Dibongad, and encamped in Almondiblathaim.

And they removed from Almondiblathaim, and pitched in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo.

And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and pitched in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.

And they pitched by Jordan, from Bethjesimoth even to Abelshittim in the plains of Moab.

And the LORD spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,

Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When you are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan;

Then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places:

And you shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it.

And you shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families: and to the more you shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer you shall give the less inheritance: every man's inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falls; according to the tribes of your fathers you shall inherit.

But if you will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which you let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein you dwell.

Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do to you, as I thought to do to them.

Mark chapter 10

And he arose from there, and comes into the coasts of Judaea by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort to him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again.

And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him.

And he answered and said to them, What did Moses command you?

And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorce, and to put her away.

And Jesus answered and said to them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.

But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.

For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and join to his wife;

And they two shall be one flesh: so then they are no more two, but one flesh.

What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder.

And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter.

And he said to them, Whoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, commits adultery against her.

And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she commits adultery.

And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.

But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said to them, Suffer the little children to come to me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

Truly I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.

And he took them up in his arms, put his hands on them, and blessed them.

And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

And Jesus said to him, Why call you me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.

You know the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honor your father and mother.

And he answered and said to him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.

Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said to him, One thing you lack: go your way, sell whatever you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.

And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.

And Jesus looked round about, and said to his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answers again, and said to them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?

And Jesus looking on them said, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

Then Peter began to say to him, See, we have left all, and have followed you.

And Jesus answered and said, Truly I say to you, There is no man that has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,

But he shall receive an hundred times now in this time, houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.

But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.

And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen to him,

Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered to the chief priests, and to the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles:

And they shall mock him, and shall whip him, and shall spit on him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.

And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come to him, saying, Master, we would that you should do for us whatever we shall desire.

And he said to them, What would you that I should do for you?

They said to him, Grant to us that we may sit, one on your right hand, and the other on your left hand, in your glory.

But Jesus said to them, You know not what you ask: can you drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?

And they said to him, We can. And Jesus said to them, You shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized with shall you be baptized:

But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not my to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared.

And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John.

But Jesus called them to him, and said to them, You know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority on them.

But so shall it not be among you: but whoever will be great among you, shall be your minister:

And whoever of you will be the most chief, shall be servant of all.

For even the Son of man came not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging.

And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me.

And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, You son of David, have mercy on me.

And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying to him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calls you.

And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.

And Jesus answered and said to him, What will you that I should do to you? The blind man said to him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.

And Jesus said to him, Go your way; your faith has made you whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
