Numbers chapter 7

1

And it came to pass on the day that Moses had fully set up the tabernacle, and had anointed it, and sanctified it, and all the instruments thereof, both the altar and all the vessels thereof, and had anointed them, and sanctified them;

2

That the princes of Israel, heads of the house of their fathers, who were the princes of the tribes, and were over them that were numbered, offered:

3

And they brought their offering before the LORD, six covered wagons, and twelve oxen; a wagon for two of the princes, and for each one an ox: and they brought them before the tabernacle.

4

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

5

Take it of them, that they may be to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; and you shall give them to the Levites, to every man according to his service.

6

And Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them to the Levites.

7

Two wagons and four oxen he gave to the sons of Gershon, according to their service:

8

And four wagons and eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari, according to their service, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

9

But to the sons of Kohath he gave none: because the service of the sanctuary belonging to them was that they should bear on their shoulders.

10

And the princes offered for dedicating of the altar in the day that it was anointed, even the princes offered their offering before the altar.

11

And the LORD said to Moses, They shall offer their offering, each prince on his day, for the dedicating of the altar.

Psalm chapter 23

1

A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2

He makes me to lie down in green pastures: he leads me beside the still waters.

3

He restores my soul: he leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4

Yes, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for you are with me; your rod and your staff they comfort me.

5

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies: you anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.

6

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Acts chapter 27

1

And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus' band.

2

And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.

3

And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go to his friends to refresh himself.

4

And when we had launched from there, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

5

And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.

6

And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.

7

And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone;

8

And, hardly passing it, came to a place which is called The fair havens; near whereunto was the city of Lasea.

9

Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,

10

And said to them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.

11

Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.

12

And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart there also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lies toward the south west and north west.

13

And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing there, they sailed close by Crete.

14

But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.

15

And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.

16

And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:

17

Which when they had taken up, they used helps, under girding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, struck sail, and so were driven.

18

And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;

19

And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.

20

And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.

21

But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the middle of them, and said, Sirs, you should have listened to me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.

22

And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship.

23

For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,

24

Saying, Fear not, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar: and, see, God has given you all them that sail with you.

25

Why, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.

26

However, we must be cast on a certain island.

27

But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country;

28

And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.

29

Then fearing lest we should have fallen on rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.

30

And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under color as though they would have cast anchors out of the bow,

31

Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, you cannot be saved.

32

Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.

33

And while the day was coming on, Paul sought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that you have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.

34

Why I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.

35

And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat.

36

Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat.

37

And we were in all in the ship two hundred three score and sixteen souls.

38

And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.

39

And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.

40

And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves to the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoisted up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.

41

And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmovable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.

42

And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.

43

But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land:

44

And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.
