Numbers 9

 ¹And Jehovah spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after their departure from the land of Egypt, saying,

 ²Let the children of Israel also hold the passover at its set time;

 ³on the fourteenth day in this month between the two evenings, ye shall hold it at its set time; according to all the rites of it, and according to all the ordinances thereof shall ye hold it.

 ⁴And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, that they should hold the passover.

 ⁵And they held the passover in the first [month] on the fourteenth day of the month, between the two evenings, in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that Jehovah had commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.

 ⁶And there were men, who were unclean through the dead body of a man, and could not hold the passover on that day; and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day.

 ⁷And those men said to him, We are unclean by reason of the dead body of a man: why are we kept back, that we may not present the offering of Jehovah at its set time among the children of Israel?

 ⁸And Moses said to them, Stay, and I will hear what Jehovah commands concerning you.

 ⁹And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

 ¹⁰Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any one of you or of your generations be unclean by reason of a dead body or be on a journey afar off, yet he shall hold the passover to Jehovah.

 ¹¹In the second month, on the fourteenth day, between the two evenings, shall they hold it; with unleavened bread and bitter herbs shall they eat it.

 ¹²They shall leave none of it until the morning, nor break a bone thereof: according to every ordinance of the passover shall they hold it.

 ¹³But a man that is clean, and is not on a journey, and forbeareth to hold the passover, that soul shall be cut off from among his peoples; because he presented not the offering of Jehovah at its set time: that man shall bear his sin.

 ¹⁴And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and would hold the passover to Jehovah, according to the rite of the passover, and according to the ordinance thereof, so shall he do. Ye shall have one rite, both for the stranger and for him that is born in the land.

 ¹⁵And on the day that the tabernacle was set up, the cloud covered the tabernacle of the tent of testimony; and at even it was upon the tabernacle as the appearance of fire, until the morning.

 ¹⁶So it was continually: the cloud covered it, and at night it was as the appearance of fire.

 ¹⁷And when the cloud rose from the tent, then the children of Israel journeyed; and at the place where the cloud stood still, there the children of Israel encamped.

 ¹⁸According to the commandment of Jehovah the children of Israel journeyed, and according to the commandment of Jehovah they [remained] encamped; all the days that the cloud dwelt upon the tabernacle they encamped.

 ¹⁹And when the cloud was long upon the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of Jehovah, and journeyed not.

 ²⁰And if it were so that the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle, according to the commandment of Jehovah they encamped, and according to the commandment of Jehovah they journeyed.

 ²¹And if it were so that the cloud was there from the evening until the morning, and that the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed; or a day and a night, and the cloud was taken up, they journeyed;

 ²²or two days, or a month, or many days, when the cloud was long upon the tabernacle, dwelling upon it, the children of Israel [remained] encamped, and journeyed not; but when it was taken up, they journeyed.

 ²³At the commandment of Jehovah they encamped, and at the commandment of Jehovah they journeyed: they kept the charge of Jehovah according to the commandment of Jehovah through Moses.

Numbers 10

 ¹And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

 ²Make thee two trumpets of silver; of beaten work shalt thou make them; and they shall serve for the calling together of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps.

 ³And when they shall blow with them, the whole assembly shall gather to thee at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

 ⁴And if they blow with one, then the princes, the heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather unto thee.

 ⁵And when ye blow an alarm, the camps that lie eastward shall set forward.

 ⁶And when ye blow an alarm the second time, the camps that lie southward shall set forward; they shall blow an alarm on their setting forward.

 ⁷And when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not blow an alarm:

 ⁸the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets; and they shall be to you for an everlasting statute throughout your generations.

 ⁹And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before Jehovah your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.

 ¹⁰And in the day of your gladness, and in your set feasts, and in your new moons, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt-offerings and over your sacrifices of peace-offering; and they shall be to you for a memorial before your God: I am Jehovah your God.

 ¹¹And it came to pass in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth of the month, that the cloud was taken up from off the tabernacle of the testimony.

 ¹²And the children of Israel set forward according to their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud stood still in the wilderness of Paran.

 ¹³And they first took their journey, according to the commandment of Jehovah through Moses.

 ¹⁴The standard of the camp of the children of Judah set forward first according to their hosts, and over his host was Nahshon the son of Amminadab;

 ¹⁵and over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar was Nethaneel the son of Zuar;

 ¹⁶and over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon.

 ¹⁷And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward bearing the tabernacle.

 ¹⁸And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according to their hosts, and over his host was Elizur the son of Shedeur;

 ¹⁹and over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai;

 ²⁰and over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel.

 ²¹And the Kohathites set forward bearing the sanctuary: and [the others] set up the tabernacle whilst they came.

 ²²And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set forward according to their hosts, and over his host was Elishama the son of Ammihud;

 ²³and over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur;

 ²⁴and over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni.

 ²⁵And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan set forward, the rear-guard of all the camps according to their hosts, and over his host was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai;

 ²⁶and over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ocran;

 ²⁷and over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan.

 ²⁸These were the settings forward of the children of Israel according to their hosts: so did they set forward.

 ²⁹And Moses said to Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, We are journeying to the place of which Jehovah said, I will give it unto you: come with us, and we will do thee good; for Jehovah has spoken good concerning Israel.

 ³⁰And he said to him, I will not go; but to mine own land, and to my kindred will I go.

 ³¹And he said, Leave me not, I pray thee, because thou knowest where we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou wilt be to us for eyes.

 ³²And it shall be, if thou come with us, that whatever good Jehovah doeth unto us, so will we do to thee.

 ³³And they set forward from the mountain of Jehovah [and went] three days' journey; and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah went before them in the three days' journey, to search out a resting-place for them.

 ³⁴And the cloud of Jehovah was over them by day when they set forward out of the camp.

 ³⁵And it came to pass when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, Jehovah, and let thine enemies be scattered; And let them that hate thee flee before thy face.

 ³⁶And when it rested, he said, Return, Jehovah, unto the myriads of the thousands of Israel.

Numbers 11

 ¹And it came to pass that when the people murmured, it was evil in the ears of Jehovah; and Jehovah heard it, and his anger was kindled, and the fire of Jehovah burned among them, and consumed [some] in the extremity of the camp.

 ²And the people cried to Moses; and Moses prayed to Jehovah -- and the fire abated.

 ³And they called the name of that place Taberah; because a fire of Jehovah burned among them.

 ⁴And the mixed multitude that was among them lusted; and the children of Israel also wept again and said, Who will give us flesh to eat?

 ⁵We remember the fish that we ate in Egypt for nothing; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic;

 ⁶and now our soul is dried up: there is nothing at all but the manna before our eyes.

 ⁷And the manna was as coriander seed, and its appearance as the appearance of bdellium.

 ⁸The people went about, and gathered it, and ground it with hand-mills, or beat it in mortars, and boiled it in pots, and made cakes of it; and the taste of it was as the taste of oil-cakes.

 ⁹And when the dew fell upon the camp by night, the manna fell upon it.

 ¹⁰And Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every one at the entrance of his tent; and the anger of Jehovah was kindled greatly; it was also evil in the eyes of Moses.

 ¹¹And Moses said to Jehovah, Why hast thou done evil to thy servant, and why have I not found favour in thine eyes, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?

 ¹²Have I conceived all this people, have I brought them forth, that thou sayest to me, Carry them in thy bosom, as the nursing-father beareth the suckling, unto the land which thou didst swear unto their fathers?

 ¹³Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh that we may eat!

 ¹⁴I am not able to bear all this people alone, for it is too heavy for me.

 ¹⁵And if thou deal thus with me, slay me, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes, that I may not behold my wretchedness.

 ¹⁶And Jehovah said to Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and their officers; and take them to the tent of meeting, and they shall stand there with thee.

 ¹⁷And I will come down and talk with thee there; and I will take of the Spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, and thou shalt not bear it alone.

 ¹⁸And unto the people shalt thou say, Hallow yourselves for to-morrow, and ye shall eat flesh; for ye have wept in the ears of Jehovah, saying, Who will give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt; and Jehovah will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.

 ¹⁹Not one day shall ye eat, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;

 ²⁰[but] for a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it become loathsome unto you; because that ye have despised Jehovah who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?

 ²¹And Moses said, The people in whose midst I am are six hundred thousand footmen; and thou sayest, I will give them flesh that they may eat a whole month.

 ²²Shall flocks and herds be slaughtered for them, to suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered for them, to suffice them?

 ²³And Jehovah said to Moses, Hath Jehovah's hand become short? Now shalt thou see whether my word will come to pass unto thee or not.

 ²⁴And Moses went out and told the people the words of Jehovah; and he gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the tent.

 ²⁵And Jehovah came down in a cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was upon him, and put it upon the seventy men, the elders; and it came to pass, that when the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied, but they did not repeat [it].

 ²⁶And two men remained in the camp, the name of the one, Eldad, and the name of the other, Medad; and the Spirit rested upon them (and they were among them that were written, but they had not gone out to the tent); and they prophesied in the camp.

 ²⁷And there ran a youth, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.

 ²⁸And Joshua the son of Nun, the attendant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them!

 ²⁹But Moses said to him, Enviest thou for my sake? would that all Jehovah's people were prophets, [and] that Jehovah would put his Spirit upon them!

 ³⁰And Moses withdrew into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.

 ³¹And there went forth a wind from Jehovah, and drove quails from the sea, and cast them about the camp, about a day's journey on this side, and about a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and about two cubits above the earth.

 ³²And the people rose up all that day, and the whole night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered little gathered ten homers; and they spread them abroad for themselves round about the camp.

 ³³The flesh was yet between their teeth, before it was chewed, when the wrath of Jehovah was kindled against the people, and Jehovah smote the people with a very great plague.

 ³⁴And they called the name of that place Kibroth-hattaavah; because there they buried the people who lusted.

 ³⁵From Kibroth-hattaavah the people journeyed to Hazeroth; and they were at Hazeroth.

Mark 5

 ¹And they came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gadarenes.

 ²And immediately on his going out of the ship there met him out of the tombs a man possessed by an unclean spirit,

 ³who had his dwelling in the tombs; and no one was able to bind him, not even with chains;

 ⁴because he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been torn asunder by him, and the fetters were shattered; and no one was able to subdue him.

 ⁵And continually night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying and cutting himself with stones.

 ⁶But seeing Jesus from afar off, he ran and did him homage,

 ⁷and crying with a loud voice he says, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure thee by God, torment me not.

 ⁸For he said to him, Come forth, unclean spirit, out of the man.

 ⁹And he asked him, What is thy name? And he says to him, Legion is my name, because we are many.

 ¹⁰And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.

 ¹¹Now there was there just at the mountain a great herd of swine feeding;

 ¹²and they besought him, saying, Send us into the swine that we may enter into them.

 ¹³And Jesus [immediately] allowed them. And the unclean spirits going out entered into the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep slope, into the sea (about two thousand), and were choked in the sea.

 ¹⁴And those that were feeding them fled and reported it in the city and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that had taken place.

 ¹⁵And they come to Jesus, and they see the possessed of demons sitting [and] clothed and sensible, [him] that had had the legion: and they were afraid.

 ¹⁶And they that had seen [it] related to them how it had happened to the [man] possessed by demons, and concerning the swine.

 ¹⁷And they began to beg him to depart from their coasts.

 ¹⁸And as he went on board ship, the man that had been possessed by demons besought him that he might be with him.

 ¹⁹And he suffered him not, but says to him, Go to thine home to thine own people, and tell them how great things the Lord has done for thee, and has had mercy on thee.

 ²⁰And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him; and all wondered.
