Numbers 12

   
 ²And they said, "Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? Hath He not spoken also by us?" And the LORD heard it.

   
 ³(Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men who were upon the face of the earth.)

   
 ⁴And the LORD spoke suddenly unto Moses and unto Aaron and unto Miriam: "Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation." And the three came out.

   
 ⁵And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forth.

   
 ⁶And He said, "Hear now My words: If there be a prophet among you, I, the LORD, will make Myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.

   
 ⁷My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all Mine house.

   
 ⁸With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even plainly, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold. Why then were ye not afraid to speak against My servant Moses?"

   
 ⁹And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them, and He departed.

   
 ¹⁰And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle. And behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow; and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and behold, she was leprous.

   
 ¹¹And Aaron said unto Moses, "Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly and wherein we have sinned.

   
 ¹²Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb."

   
 ¹³And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, "Heal her now, O God, I beseech Thee."

   
 ¹⁴And the LORD said unto Moses, "If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? Let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in again."

   
 ¹⁵And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days, and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.

   
 ¹⁶And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth and pitched camp in the Wilderness of Paran.

Numbers 13

   
 ²"Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel. Of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them."

   
 ³And Moses by the commandment of the LORD sent them from the Wilderness of Paran. All those men were heads of the children of Israel.

   
 ⁴And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur;

   
 ⁵of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori;

   
 ⁶of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh;

   
 ⁷of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph;

   
 ⁸of the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Nun;

   
 ⁹of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu;

   
 ¹⁰of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi;

   
 ¹¹of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi;

   
 ¹²of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli;

   
 ¹³of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael;

   
 ¹⁴of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi;

   
 ¹⁵of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.

   
 ¹⁶These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun, Joshua.

   
 ¹⁷And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, "Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain.

   
 ¹⁸And see the land, what it is, and the people who dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many;

   
 ¹⁹and what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad, and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents or in strongholds;

   
 ²⁰and what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land." Now the time was the time of the first ripe grapes.

   
 ²¹So they went up and searched the land from the Wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.

   
 ²²And they ascended by the south and came unto Hebron where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)

   
 ²³And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates and of the figs.

   
 ²⁴The place was called the Brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.

   
 ²⁵And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.

   
 ²⁶And they went and came to Moses and to Aaron and to all the congregation of the children of Israel unto the Wilderness of Paran to Kadesh, and brought back word unto them and unto all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.

   
 ²⁷And they told him, and said, "We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.

   
 ²⁸Nevertheless the people are strong who dwell in the land, and the cities are walled and very great; and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.

   
 ²⁹The Amalekites dwell in the land of the South; and the Hittites and the Jebusites and the Amorites dwell in the mountains; and the Canaanites dwell by the sea and by the coast of the Jordan."

   
 ³⁰And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, "Let us go up at once and possess it, for we are well able to overcome it."

   
 ³¹But the men who went up with him said, "We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we."

   
 ³²And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, "The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof, and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.

   
 ³³And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, who come of the giants. And we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight."

Numbers 14

   
 ²And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron; and the whole congregation said unto them, "Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! Or would God we had died in this wilderness!

   
 ³And why hath the LORD brought us unto this land to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? Were it not better for us to return into Egypt?"

   
 ⁴And they said one to another, "Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt."

   
 ⁵Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.

   
 ⁶And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of those who searched the land, rent their clothes;

   
 ⁷and they spoke unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, "The land which we passed through to search it is an exceeding good land.

   
 ⁸If the LORD delight in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us, a land which floweth with milk and honey.

   
 ⁹Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land, for they are bread for us. Their defense has departed from them, and the LORD is with us. Fear them not."

   
 ¹⁰But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel.

   
 ¹¹And the LORD said unto Moses, "How long will this people provoke Me? And how long will it be ere they believe Me for all the signs which I have shown among them?

   
 ¹²I will smite them with the pestilence and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they."

   
 ¹³And Moses said unto the LORD, "Then the Egyptians shall hear it (for Thou broughtest up this people in Thy might from among them),

   
 ¹⁴and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land; for they have heard that Thou, LORD, art among this people, that Thou, LORD, art seen face to face, and that Thy cloud standeth over them, and that Thou goest before them by daytime in a pillar of a cloud and in a pillar of fire by night.

   
 ¹⁵Now if Thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of Thee will speak, saying,

   
 ¹⁶`Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which He swore unto them, therefore He hath slain them in the wilderness.'

   
 ¹⁷And now, I beseech Thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according as Thou hast spoken, saying,

   
 ¹⁸`The LORD is longsuffering and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.'

   
 ¹⁹Pardon, I beseech Thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of Thy mercy, and as Thou hast forgiven this people from Egypt even until now."

   
 ²⁰And the LORD said, "I have pardoned according to thy word;

   
 ²¹but as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD.

   
 ²²Because all those men who have seen My glory and My miracles which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted Me now these ten times and have not hearkened to My voice--

   
 ²³surely they shall not see the land which I swore unto their fathers, neither shall any of those who provoked Me see it.

   
 ²⁴But My servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him and hath followed Me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went, and his seed shall possess it."

   
 ²⁵(Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) "Tomorrow turn you and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea."

   
 ²⁶And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

   
 ²⁷"How long shall I bear with this evil congregation who murmur against Me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against Me.

   
 ²⁸Say unto them, `As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in Mine ears, so will I do to you.

   
 ²⁹Your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness; and all who were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against Me,

   
 ³⁰doubtless ye shall not come into the land concerning which I swore to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.

   
 ³¹But your little ones, whom ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.

   
 ³²But as for you, your carcasses, they shall fall in this wilderness.

   
 ³³And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years and bear your whoredoms, until your carcasses be wasted in the wilderness.

   
 ³⁴After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, for each day a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know My altering of My purpose.

   
 ³⁵I, the LORD, have said: I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation who are gathered together against Me. In this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.'"

   
 ³⁶And the men, whom Moses sent to search the land, who returned and made all the congregation to murmur against him by bringing up a slander upon the land,

   
 ³⁷even those men who brought up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the LORD.

   
 ³⁸But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of the men who went to search the land, lived still.

   
 ³⁹And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel, and the people mourned greatly.

   
 ⁴⁰And they rose up early in the morning and got them up into the top of the mountain, saying, "Lo, we are here, and will go up unto the place which the LORD hath promised; for we have sinned."

   
 ⁴¹And Moses said, "Why now do ye transgress the commandment of the LORD? But it shall not prosper.

   
 ⁴²Go not up, for the LORD is not among you, that ye be not smitten before your enemies.

   
 ⁴³For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword. Because ye have turned away from the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you."

   
 ⁴⁴But they presumed to go up unto the hilltop. Nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD and Moses departed not out of the camp.

   
 ⁴⁵Then the Amalekites came down and the Canaanites who dwelt in that hill, and smote them and discomfited them, even unto Hormah.

 ²¹And when Jesus had passed over again by boat unto the other side, many people gathered unto Him; and He was nigh unto the sea.

   
 ²²And behold, there came one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw Him, he fell at His feet

   
 ²³and besought Him greatly, saying, "My little daughter lieth at the point of death. I pray Thee, come and lay Thy hands on her, that she may be healed, and she shall live."

   
 ²⁴And Jesus went with him, and many people followed Him and thronged Him.

   
 ²⁵And a certain woman who had an issue of blood twelve years,

   
 ²⁶and had suffered many things under many physicians, and had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse,

   
 ²⁷when she had heard of Jesus, came up behind Him in the press of the crowd and touched His garment;

   
 ²⁸for she said, "If I may touch but His clothes, I shall be whole."

   
 ²⁹And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.

   
 ³⁰And Jesus, immediately knowing in Himself that virtue had gone out of Him, turned about in the press of the crowd and said, "Who touched My clothes?"

   
 ³¹And His disciples said unto Him, "Thou seest the multitude thronging Thee, and sayest Thou, `Who touched Me?'"

   
 ³²And He looked round about to see her who had done this thing.

   
 ³³But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done in her, came and fell down before Him and told Him all the truth.

   
 ³⁴And He said unto her, "Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole. Go in peace, and be whole of thy plague."

   
 ³⁵While He yet spoke, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain ones who said, "Thy daughter is dead; why troublest thou the master any further?"

   
 ³⁶As soon as Jesus heard the word that had been spoken, He said unto the ruler of the synagogue, "Be not afraid; only believe."

   
 ³⁷And He suffered no man to follow Him, save Peter and James and John, the brother of James.

   
 ³⁸And He came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and saw the tumult and those who wept and wailed greatly.

   
 ³⁹And when He had come in, He said unto them, "Why make ye this ado and weep? The damsel is not dead, but sleepeth."

   
 ⁴⁰And they laughed Him to scorn. But when He had put them all out, He took the father and the mother of the damsel and those who were with Him, and entered in where the damsel was lying.

   
 ⁴¹And He took the damsel by the hand and said unto her, "Talitha cumi," which is, being interpreted, "Damsel, I say unto thee, arise."

   
 ⁴²And straightway the damsel arose and walked, for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.

   
 ⁴³And He charged them strictly that no man should know about it, and commanded that something should be given her to eat.
