Numbers 30

    ²If a man vows a vow to the Lord or swears an oath to bind himself by a pledge, he shall not break and profane his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.

    ³Also when a woman vows a vow to the Lord and binds herself by a pledge, being in her father's house in her youth,

    ⁴And her father hears her vow and her pledge with which she has bound herself and he offers no objection, then all her vows shall stand and every pledge with which she has bound herself shall stand.

    ⁵But if her father refuses to allow her [to carry out her vow] on the day that he hears about it, not any of her vows or of her pledges with which she has bound herself shall stand. And the Lord will forgive her because her father refused to let her [carry out her purpose].

    ⁶And if she is married to a husband while her vows are upon her or she has bound herself by a rash utterance

    ⁷And her husband hears of it and holds his peace concerning it on the day that he hears it, then her vows shall stand and her pledge with which she bound herself shall stand.

    ⁸But if her husband refuses to allow her [to keep her vow or pledge] on the day that he hears of it, then he shall make void and annul her vow which is upon her and the rash utterance of her lips by which she bound herself, and the Lord will forgive her.

    ⁹But the vow of a widow or of a divorced woman, with which she has bound herself, shall stand against her.

    ¹⁰And if she vowed in her husband's house or bound herself by a pledge with an oath

    ¹¹And her husband heard it and did not oppose or prohibit her, then all her vows and every pledge with which she bound herself shall stand.

    ¹²But if her husband positively made them void on the day he heard them, then whatever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows or concerning her pledge of herself shall not stand. Her husband has annulled them, and the Lord will forgive her.

    ¹³Every vow and every binding oath to humble or afflict herself, her husband may establish it or her husband may annul it.

    ¹⁴But if her husband altogether holds his peace [concerning the matter] with her from day to day, then he establishes and confirms all her vows or all her pledges which are upon her. He establishes them because he said nothing to [restrain] her on the day he heard of them.

    ¹⁵But if he shall nullify them after he hears of them, then he shall be responsible for and bear her iniquity.

    ¹⁶These are the statutes which the Lord commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, and between a father and his daughter while in her youth in her father's house.

Numbers 31

    ²Avenge the Israelites on the Midianites; afterward you shall be gathered to your [departed] people.

    ³And Moses said to the people, Arm men from among you for the war, that they may go against Midian and execute the Lord's vengeance on Midian [for seducing Israel].^(A)

    ⁴From each of the tribes of Israel you shall send 1,000 to the war.

    ⁵So there were provided out of the thousands of Israel 1,000 from each tribe, 12,000 armed for war.

    ⁶And Moses sent them to the war, 1,000 from each tribe, together with Phinehas son of Eleazar, the priest, with the [sacred] vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets to blow the alarm in his hand.

    ⁷They fought with Midian, as the Lord commanded Moses, and slew every male,

    ⁸Including the five kings of Midian: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba; also Balaam son of Beor they slew with the sword.^(B)

    ⁹And the Israelites took captive the women of Midian and their little ones, and all their cattle, their flocks, and their goods as booty.

    ¹⁰They burned all the cities in which they dwelt, and all their encampments.

    ¹¹And they took all the spoil and all the prey, both of man and of beast.

    ¹²Then they brought the captives, the prey, and the spoil to Moses and Eleazar the priest and to the congregation of the Israelites at the camp on the plains of Moab by Jordan at Jericho.

    ¹³Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the princes or leaders of the congregation went to meet them outside the camp.

    ¹⁴But Moses was angry with the officers of the army, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, who served in the war.

    ¹⁵And Moses said to them, Have you let all the women live?

    ¹⁶Behold, these caused the Israelites by the counsel of Balaam to trespass and act treacherously against the Lord in the matter of Peor, and so a [smiting] plague came among the congregation of the Lord.^(C)

    ¹⁷Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who is not a virgin.

    ¹⁸But all the young girls who have not known man by lying with him keep alive for yourselves.

    ¹⁹Encamp outside the camp seven days; whoever has killed any person and whoever has touched any slain, purify yourselves and your captives on the third day and on the seventh day.

    ²⁰You shall purify every garment, all that is made of skins, all work of goats' hair, and every article of wood.

    ²¹And Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who had gone to battle, This is the statute of the law which the Lord has commanded Moses:

    ²²Only the gold, the silver, the bronze, the iron, the tin, and the lead,

    ²³Everything that can stand fire, you shall make go through fire, and it shall be clean. Nevertheless it shall also be purified with the water of impurity; and all that cannot stand fire [such as fabrics] you shall pass through water.

    ²⁴And you shall wash your clothes on the seventh day and you shall be clean; then you shall come into the camp.

    ²⁵And the Lord said to Moses,

    ²⁶Take the count of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, you and Eleazar the priest and the heads of the fathers' houses of the congregation.

    ²⁷Divide the booty into two [equal] parts between the warriors who went out to battle and all the congregation.

    ²⁸And levy a tribute to the Lord from the warriors who went to battle, one out of every 500 of the persons, the oxen, the donkeys, and the flocks.

    ²⁹Take [this tribute] from the warriors' half and give it to Eleazar the priest as an offering to the Lord.

    ³⁰And from the Israelites' half [of the booty] you shall take one out of every fifty of the persons, the oxen, the donkeys, the flocks, and of all livestock, and give them to the Levites who have charge of the tabernacle of the Lord.

    ³¹And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord commanded Moses.

    ³²The prey, besides the booty which the men of war took, was 675,000 sheep,

    ³³And 72,000 cattle,

    ³⁴And 61,000 donkeys,

    ³⁵And 32,000 persons in all, of the women who were virgins.

    ³⁶And the half share, the portion of those who went to war, was: 337,500 sheep,

    ³⁷And the Lord's tribute of the sheep was 675;

    ³⁸The cattle were 36,000, of which the Lord's tribute was 72;

    ³⁹The donkeys were 30,500, of which the Lord's tribute was 61;

    ⁴⁰The persons were 16,000, of whom the Lord's tribute was 32 persons.

    ⁴¹And Moses gave the tribute which was the Lord's offering to Eleazar the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses.

    ⁴²And the Israelites' half Moses separated from that of the warriors'--

    ⁴³Now the congregation's half was 337,500 sheep,

    ⁴⁴And 36,000 cattle,

    ⁴⁵And 30,500 donkeys,

    ⁴⁶And 16,000 persons--

    ⁴⁷Even of the Israelites' half, Moses took one of every 50, both of persons and of beasts, and gave them to the Levites, who had charge of the tabernacle of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.

    ⁴⁸And the officers who were over the thousands of the army, the commanders of thousands and hundreds, came to Moses.

    ⁴⁹They told [him], Your servants have counted the warriors under our command, and not one man of us is missing.

    ⁵⁰We have brought as the Lord's offering what each man obtained--articles of gold, armlets, bracelets, signet rings, earrings, neck ornaments--to make atonement for ourselves before the Lord.

    ⁵¹Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from them, all the wrought articles.

    ⁵²And all the gold of the offering that they offered to the Lord from the commanders of thousands and of hundreds was 16,750 shekels.

    ⁵³For the men of war had taken booty, every man for himself.

    ⁵⁴And Moses and Eleazar the priest received the gold from the commanders of thousands and of hundreds and brought it into the Tent of Meeting as a memorial for the Israelites before the Lord.

Mark 9

    ²Six days after this, Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John and led them up on a high mountain apart by themselves. And He was transfigured before them and became resplendent with divine brightness.

    ³And His garments became glistening, intensely white, as no fuller (cloth dresser, launderer) on earth could bleach them.

    ⁴And Elijah appeared [there] to them, accompanied by Moses, and they were ^[a]holding [a protracted] conversation with Jesus.

    ⁵And ^[b]Peter took up the conversation, saying, Master, it is good and suitable and beautiful for us to be here. Let us make three booths (tents)--one for You and one for Moses and one for Elijah.

    ⁶For he did not [really] know what to say, for they were in a violent fright (^[c]aghast with dread).

    ⁷And a cloud threw a shadow upon them, and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is My Son, the [^[d]most dearworthy] Beloved One. Be ^[e]constantly listening to and obeying Him!

    ⁸And looking around, they suddenly no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus only.

    ⁹And as they were coming back down the mountain, He admonished and ^[f]expressly ordered them to tell no one what they had seen until the Son of Man should rise from among the dead.

    ¹⁰So they carefully and faithfully kept the matter to themselves, questioning and disputing with one another about what rising from among the dead meant.

    ¹¹And they asked Him, Why do the scribes say that it is necessary for Elijah to come first?^(A)

    ¹²And He said to them, Elijah, it is true, does come first to restore all things and ^[g]set them to rights. And how is it written of the Son of Man that He will suffer many things and be utterly despised and be treated with contempt and rejected?^(B)

    ¹³But I tell you that Elijah has already come, and [people] did to him whatever they desired, as it is written of him.

    ¹⁴And when they came to the [nine] disciples, they saw a great crowd around them and scribes questioning and disputing with them.

    ¹⁵And immediately all the crowd, when they saw Jesus [^[h]returning from the holy mount, His face and person yet glistening], they were greatly amazed and ran up to Him [and] greeted Him.

    ¹⁶And He asked them, About what are you questioning and discussing with them?

    ¹⁷And one of the throng replied to Him, Teacher, I brought my son to You, for he has a dumb spirit.

    ¹⁸And wherever it lays hold of him [so as to make him its own], it dashes him down and convulses him, and he foams [at the mouth] and grinds his teeth, and he [^[i]falls into a motionless stupor and] is wasting away. And I asked Your disciples to drive it out, and they were not able [to do it].

    ¹⁹And He answered them, O unbelieving generation [without any faith]! How long ^[j]shall I [have to do] with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him to Me.

    ²⁰So they brought [the boy] to Him, and when the spirit saw Him, at once it completely convulsed the boy, and he fell to the ground and kept rolling about, foaming [at the mouth].

    ²¹And [Jesus] asked his father, How long has he had this? And he answered, From the time he was a little boy.

    ²²And it has often thrown him both into fire and into water, intending to kill him. But if You can do anything, do have pity on us and help us.

    ²³And Jesus said, [You say to Me], If You can do anything? [Why,] all things can be (are possible) to him who believes!

    ²⁴At once the father of the boy gave [an ^[k]eager, ^[l]piercing, inarticulate] cry with tears, and he said, Lord, I believe! [Constantly] help my ^[m]weakness of faith!

    ²⁵But when Jesus noticed that a crowd [of people] came running together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, You dumb and deaf spirit, I charge you to come out of him and never go into him again.

    ²⁶And after giving a [hoarse, clamoring, fear-stricken] shriek of anguish and convulsing him terribly, it came out; and the boy lay [pale and motionless] like a corpse, so that many of them said, He is dead.

    ²⁷But Jesus took [^[n]a strong grip of] his hand and began lifting him up, and he stood.

    ²⁸And when He had gone indoors, His disciples asked Him privately, Why could not we drive it out?

    ²⁹And He replied to them, This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer ^[o]and fasting.
