    ⁵²And the Lord said to Moses,

    ⁵³To these the land shall be divided for inheritance according to the number of names.

    ⁵⁴To a larger tribe you shall give the greater inheritance, and to a small tribe the less inheritance; to each tribe shall its inheritance be given according to its numbers.

    ⁵⁵But the land shall be divided by lot; according to the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit.

    ⁵⁶According to the lot shall their inheritance be divided between the larger and the smaller.

    ⁶¹But Nadab and Abihu died when they offered strange and unholy fire before the Lord.

    ⁶²And those numbered of them were 23,000, every male from a month old and upward; for they were not numbered among the Israelites, because there was no inheritance given them among the Israelites.

    ⁶³These were those numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the Israelites in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.

    ⁶⁴But among these there was not a man of those numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest when they numbered the Israelites in the Wilderness of Sinai.

    ⁶⁵For the Lord had said of them, They shall surely die in the wilderness. There was not left a man of them except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.

Numbers 27

    ²They stood before Moses, Eleazar the priest, and the leaders, and all the congregation at the door of the Tent of Meeting, saying,

    ³Our father died in the wilderness. He was not among those who assembled together against the Lord in the company of Korah, but died for his own sin [as did all those who rebelled at Kadesh], and he had no sons.^(A)

    ⁴Why should the name of our father be removed from his family because he had no son? Give to us a possession among our father's brethren.

    ⁵Moses brought their case before the Lord.

    ⁶And the Lord said to Moses,

    ⁷The daughters of Zelophehad are justified and speak correctly. You shall surely give them an inheritance among their father's brethren, and you shall cause their father's inheritance to pass to them.

    ⁸And say to the Israelites, If a man dies and has no son, you shall cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter.

    ⁹If he has no daughter, you shall give his inheritance to his brethren.

    ¹⁰If he has no brethren, give his inheritance to his father's brethren.

    ¹¹And if his father has no brethren, then give his inheritance to his next of kin, and he shall possess it. It shall be to the Israelites a statute and ordinance, as the Lord commanded Moses.

    ¹²And the Lord said to Moses, Go up into this mountain of Abarim and behold the land I have given to the Israelites.

    ¹³And when you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to your [departed] people as Aaron your brother was gathered,

    ¹⁴For you disobeyed My order in the Wilderness of Zin during the strife of the congregation to uphold My sanctity [by strict obedience to My authority] at the waters before their eyes. [These are the waters of Meribah in Kadesh in the Wilderness of Zin].^(B)

    ¹⁵And Moses said to the Lord,

    ¹⁶Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation

    ¹⁷Who shall go out and come in before them, leading them out and bringing them in, that the congregation of the Lord may not be as sheep which have no shepherd.

    ¹⁸The Lord said to Moses, Take Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand upon him;

    ¹⁹And set him before Eleazar the priest and all the congregation and give him a charge in their sight.

    ²⁰And put some of your honor and authority upon him, that all the congregation of the Israelites may obey him.

    ²¹He shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him before the Lord by the judgment of the Urim [one of two articles in the priest's breastplate worn when asking counsel of the Lord for the people]. At Joshua's word the people shall go out and come in, both he and all the Israelite congregation with him.

    ²²And Moses did as the Lord commanded him. He took Joshua and set him before Eleazar the priest and all the congregation,

    ²³And he laid his hands upon him and commissioned him, as the Lord commanded through Moses.

Numbers 28

    ²Command the Israelites, saying, My offering, My food for My offerings made by fire, My sweet and soothing odor you shall be careful to offer to Me at its proper time.

    ³And you shall say to the people, This is the offering made by fire which you shall offer to the Lord: two male lambs a year old without spot or blemish, two day by day, for a continual burnt offering.

    ⁴One lamb you shall offer in the morning and the other in the evening,

    ⁵Also a tenth of an ephah of flour for a cereal offering, mixed with a fourth of a hin of beaten oil.

    ⁶It is a continual burnt offering which was ordained in Mount Sinai for a sweet and soothing odor, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

    ⁷Its drink offering shall be a fourth of a hin for each lamb; in the Holy Place you shall pour out a fermented drink offering to the Lord.

    ⁸And the other lamb you shall offer in the evening; like the cereal offering of the morning and like its drink offering, you shall offer it, an offering made by fire, a sweet and soothing odor to the Lord.

    ⁹And on the Sabbath day two male lambs a year old without spot or blemish, and two-tenths of an ephah of flour for a cereal offering, mixed with oil, and its drink offering.

    ¹⁰This is the burnt offering of every Sabbath, besides the continual burnt offering and its drink offering.

    ¹¹And at the beginning of your months you shall offer a burnt offering to the Lord: two young bulls, one ram, seven male lambs a year old without spot or blemish;

    ¹²And three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour for a cereal offering, mixed with oil, for each bull; and two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour for a cereal offering, mixed with oil, for the one ram.

    ¹³And a tenth part of fine flour mixed with oil as a cereal offering, for each lamb, for a burnt offering of a sweet and pleasant fragrance, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

    ¹⁴And their drink offerings shall be half a hin of wine for a bull, and a third of a hin for a ram, and a fourth of a hin for a lamb. This is the burnt offering of each month throughout the months of the year.

    ¹⁵And one male goat for a sin offering to the Lord--it shall be offered in addition to the continual burnt offering and its drink offering.

    ¹⁶On the fourteenth day of the first month is the Lord's Passover.

    ¹⁷On the fifteenth day of this month is a feast; for seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten.

    ¹⁸On the first day there shall be a holy [summoned] assembly; you shall do no servile work that day.

    ¹⁹But you shall offer an offering made by fire, a burnt offering to the Lord: two young bulls, one ram, and seven male lambs a year old; they shall be without blemish to the best of your knowledge.

    ²⁰And their cereal offering shall be of fine flour mixed with oil; three-tenths of an ephah shall you offer for a bull, and two-tenths for a ram;

    ²¹A tenth shall you offer for each of the seven male lambs,

    ²²Also one male goat for a sin offering to make atonement for you.

    ²³You shall offer these in addition to the burnt offering of the morning, which is for a continual burnt offering.

    ²⁴In this way you shall offer daily for seven days the food of an offering made by fire, a sweet and soothing odor to the Lord; it shall be offered in addition to the continual burnt offering and its drink offering.

    ²⁵And on the seventh day you shall have a holy [summoned] assembly; you shall do no work befitting a slave or a servant.

    ²⁶Also in the day of the firstfruits, when you offer a cereal offering of new grain to the Lord at your Feast of Weeks, you shall have a holy [summoned] assembly; you shall do no servile work.

    ²⁷But you shall offer the burnt offering for a sweet, pleasing, and soothing fragrance to the Lord: two young bulls, one ram, seven male lambs a year old,

    ²⁸And their cereal offering of fine flour mixed with oil, three-tenths of an ephah for each bull, two-tenths for one ram,

    ²⁹A tenth for each of the seven male lambs,

    ³⁰And one male goat to make atonement for you.

    ³¹You shall offer them in addition to the continual burnt offering and its cereal offering and their drink offerings. See that they are without blemish.

Mark 8

    ²I have pity and sympathy for the people and My heart goes out to them, for they have been with Me now three days and have nothing [left] to eat;

    ³And if I send them away to their homes hungry, they will be feeble through exhaustion and faint along the road; and some of them have come a long way.

    ⁴And His disciples replied to Him, How can anyone fill and satisfy [these people] with loaves of bread here in [this] desolate and uninhabited region?

    ⁵And He asked them, How many loaves have you? They said, Seven.

    ⁶And He commanded the multitude to recline upon the ground, and He [then] took the seven loaves [of bread] and, having given thanks, He broke them and kept on giving them to His disciples to put before [the people], and they placed them before the crowd.

    ⁷And they had a few small fish; and when He had ^[a]praised God and given thanks and asked Him to bless them [to their use], He ordered that these also should be set before [them].

    ⁸And they ate and were satisfied; and they took up seven [^[b]large provision] baskets full of the broken pieces left over.

    ⁹And there were about 4,000 people. And He dismissed them,

    ¹⁰And at once He got into the boat with His disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha (or Magdala).

    ¹¹The Pharisees came and began to argue with and question Him, demanding from Him a sign (an attesting miracle from heaven) [maliciously] to test Him.

    ¹²And He groaned and sighed deeply in His spirit and said, Why does this generation demand a sign? Positively I say to you, no sign shall be given this generation.

    ¹³And He went away and left them and, getting into the boat again, He departed to the other side.

    ¹⁴Now they had [^[c]completely] forgotten to bring bread, and they had only one loaf with them in the boat.

    ¹⁵And Jesus [repeatedly and expressly] charged and admonished them, saying, Look out; keep on your guard and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod ^[d]and the Herodians.

    ¹⁶And they discussed it and reasoned with one another, It is because we have no bread.

    ¹⁷And being aware [of it], Jesus said to them, Why are you reasoning and saying it is because you have no bread? Do you not yet discern or understand? Are your hearts in [a settled state of] hardness?^(A)

    ¹⁸Having eyes, do you not see [with them], and having ears, do you not hear and perceive and understand the sense of what is said? And do you not remember?

    ¹⁹When I broke the five loaves for the 5,000, how many [^[e]small hand] baskets full of broken pieces did you take up? They said to Him, Twelve.

    ²⁰And [when I broke] the seven loaves for the 4,000, how many [^[f]large provision] baskets full of broken pieces did you take up? And they said to Him, Seven.

    ²¹And He ^[g]kept repeating, Do you not yet understand?

    ²²And they came to Bethsaida. And [people] brought to Him a blind man and begged Him to touch him.

    ²³And He ^[h]caught the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village; and when He had spit on his eyes and put His hands upon him, He asked him, Do you [^[i]possibly] see anything?

    ²⁴And he looked up and said, I see people, but [they look] like trees, walking.

    ²⁵Then He put His hands on his eyes again; and the man looked intently [that is, fixed his eyes on definite objects], and he was restored and saw everything distinctly [even what was ^[j]at a distance].

    ²⁶And He sent him away to his house, telling [him], Do not [even] enter the village ^[k]or tell anyone there.

    ²⁷And Jesus went on with His disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way He asked His disciples, Who do people say that I am?

    ²⁸And they answered [Him], John the Baptist; and others [say], Elijah; but others, one of the prophets.

    ²⁹And He asked them, But who do you yourselves say that I am? Peter replied to Him, You are the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

    ³⁰And He charged them sharply to tell no one about Him.

    ³¹And He began to teach them that the Son of Man must of necessity suffer many things and be tested and disapproved and rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be put to death, and after three days rise again [^[l]from death].

    ³²And He said this freely (frankly, plainly, and explicitly, making it unmistakable). And Peter took Him ^[m]by the hand and led Him aside and then [facing Him] began to rebuke Him.

    ³³But turning around [His back to Peter] and seeing His disciples, He rebuked Peter, saying, Get behind Me, Satan! For you do not have a mind ^[n]intent on promoting what God wills, but what pleases men [you are not on God's side, but that of men].

    ³⁴And Jesus called [to Him] the throng with His disciples and said to them, If anyone intends to come after Me, let him deny himself [forget, ignore, disown, and ^[o]lose sight of himself and his own interests] and take up his cross, and [^[p]joining Me as a disciple and siding with My party] follow ^[q]with Me [continually, cleaving steadfastly to Me].

    ³⁵For whoever wants to save his [^[r]higher, spiritual, eternal] life, will lose it [the ^[s]lower, natural, temporal life ^[t]which is lived only on earth]; and whoever gives up his life [which is lived only on earth] for My sake and the Gospel's will save it [his ^[u]higher, spiritual life ^[v]in the eternal kingdom of God].

    ³⁶For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life [^[w]in the eternal kingdom of God]?

    ³⁷For what can a man give as an exchange (^[x]a compensation, a ransom, in return) for his [blessed] life [^[y]in the eternal kingdom of God]?

    ³⁸For whoever ^[z]is ashamed [here and now] of Me and My words in this adulterous (unfaithful) and [preeminently] sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when He comes in the glory (splendor and majesty) of His Father with the holy angels.
