Numbers 9

   
 ²"Let the children of Israel also keep the Passover at his appointed season.

   
 ³In the fourteenth day of this month at evening ye shall keep it in his appointed season. According to all the rites of it and according to all the ceremonies thereof shall ye keep it."

   
 ⁴And Moses spoke unto the children of Israel that they should keep the Passover.

   
 ⁵And they kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at evening in the Wilderness of Sinai. According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.

   
 ⁶And there were certain men who were defiled by the dead body of a man, so that they could not keep the Passover on that day; and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day.

   
 ⁷And those men said unto him, "We are defiled by the dead body of a man. Why are we kept back, that we may not offer an offering of the LORD in its appointed season among the children of Israel?"

   
 ⁸And Moses said unto them, "Stand still, and I will hear what the LORD will command concerning you."

   
 ⁹And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

   
 ¹⁰"Speak unto the children of Israel, saying: `If any man of you or of your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the Passover unto the LORD.

   
 ¹¹The fourteenth day of the second month at evening they shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

   
 ¹²They shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break any bone of it. According to all the ordinances of the Passover they shall keep it.

   
 ¹³But the man who is clean and is not on a journey, and forbeareth to keep the Passover, even the same soul shall be cut off from among his people, because he brought not the offering of the LORD in its appointed season. That man shall bear his sin.

   
 ¹⁴And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the Passover unto the LORD, according to the ordinance of the Passover and according to the manner thereof, so shall he do. Ye shall have one ordinance, both for the stranger and for him that was born in the land.'"

   
 ¹⁵And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, namely, the tent of the testimony; and at evening there was upon the tabernacle, as it were, the appearance of fire until the morning.

   
 ¹⁶So it was always: the cloud covered it by day and the appearance of fire by night.

   
 ¹⁷And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that the children of Israel journeyed; and in the place where the cloud stood still, there the children of Israel pitched their tents.

   
 ¹⁸At the commandment of the LORD the children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of the LORD they pitched camp. As long as the cloud stayed upon the tabernacle they rested in their tents;

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

   
 ²⁰And so it was, when the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle, according to the commandment of the LORD they stayed in their tents, and according to the commandment of the LORD they journeyed.

   
 ²¹And so it was, when the cloud tarried from evening unto the morning, and the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed. Whether it was by day or by night that the cloud was taken up, they journeyed.

   
 ²²Or whether it was two days or a month or a year that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining thereon, the children of Israel remained in their tents and journeyed not; but when it was taken up, they journeyed.

   
 ²³At the commandment of the LORD they rested in the tents, and at the commandment of the LORD they journeyed. They kept the charge of the LORD, at the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

Numbers 10

   
 ²"Make thee two trumpets of silver. Of a whole piece shalt thou make them, that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly and for the journeying of the camps.

   
 ³And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

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

   
 ⁵When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward.

   
 ⁶When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey. They shall blow an alarm for their journeys.

   
 ⁷But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.

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

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

   
 ¹⁰Also in the day of your gladness and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings, that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the LORD your God."

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

   
 ¹²And the children of Israel took their journeys out of the Wilderness of Sinai, and the cloud rested in the Wilderness of Paran.

   
 ¹³And they first took their journey according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

   
 ¹⁴In the first place went the standard of the camp of the children of Judah according to their armies; 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 moved forward, bearing the tabernacle.

   
 ¹⁸And the standard of the camp of Reuben moved forward according to their armies; 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 moved forward, bearing the sanctuary; and the others set up the tabernacle for when they came.

   
 ²²And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim moved forward according to their armies; 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 moved forward, which was the rearmost of all the camps throughout 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.

   
 ²⁸Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their armies when they moved forward.

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

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

   
 ³¹And he said, "Leave us not, I pray thee, inasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us instead of eyes.

   
 ³²And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be that what goodness the LORD shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee."

   
 ³³And they departed from the mount of the LORD three days' journey, and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them in the three days' journey to search out a resting place for them.

   
 ³⁴And the cloud of the LORD was upon them by day when they went out of the camp.

   
 ³⁵And it came to pass, when the ark moved forward, that Moses said, "Rise up, LORD, and let Thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate Thee flee before Thee."

   
 ³⁶And when it rested he said, "Return, O LORD, unto the many thousands of Israel."

Numbers 11

   
 ²And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the LORD, the fire was quenched.

   
 ³And he called the name of the place Taberah [that is, A burning], because the fire of the LORD burned among them.

   
 ⁴And the mixed multitude that was among them fell to lusting. And the children of Israel also wept again and said, "Who shall give us flesh to eat?

   
 ⁵We remember the fish which we ate in Egypt freely, the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic;

   
 ⁶but our soul is dried away. There is nothing at all besides this manna before our eyes."

   
 ⁷And the manna was as coriander seed, and the color thereof as the color of bdellium.

   
 ⁸And the people went about and gathered it, and ground it in mills or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans and made cakes of it; and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.

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

   
 ¹⁰Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent. And the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased.

   
 ¹¹And Moses said unto the LORD, "Why hast Thou afflicted Thy servant? And why have I not found favor in Thy sight, that Thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?

   
 ¹²Have I conceived all this people? Have I begotten them, that Thou shouldest say unto me, `Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land which Thou swearest unto their fathers'?

   
 ¹³From whence 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, because it is too heavy for me.

   
 ¹⁵And if Thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray Thee, out of hand, if I have found favor in Thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness!"

   
 ¹⁶And the LORD said unto Moses, "Gather unto Me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people and officers over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may 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, that thou bear it not thyself alone.

   
 ¹⁸And say thou unto the people: `Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow, and ye shall eat flesh. For ye have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, "Who shall give us flesh to eat? For it was well with us in Egypt." Therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.

   
 ¹⁹Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days,

   
 ²⁰but even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils and it be loathsome unto you, because ye have despised the LORD who is among you, and have wept before Him, saying, "Why came we forth out of Egypt?"'"

   
 ²¹And Moses said, "The people among whom I am are six hundred thousand footmen; and Thou hast said, `I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month.'

   
 ²²Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them to suffice them? Or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them to suffice them?"

   
 ²³And the LORD said unto Moses, "Has the LORD'S hand waxed short? Thou shalt see now whether My word shall come to pass unto thee or not."

   
 ²⁴And Moses went out and told the people the words of the LORD, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people and set them round about the tabernacle.

   
 ²⁵And the LORD came down in a cloud and spoke unto him, and took of the Spirit that was upon him and gave it unto the seventy elders; and it came to pass that, when the Spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease.

   
 ²⁶But there remained two of the men in the camp: the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad. And the Spirit rested upon them; and they were of those who were written, but went not out unto the tabernacle; and they prophesied in the camp.

   
 ²⁷And there ran a young man and told Moses, and said, "Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp."

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

   
 ²⁹And Moses said unto him, "Enviest thou for my sake? Would God that all the LORD'S people were prophets, and that the LORD would put His Spirit upon them!"

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

   
 ³¹And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were a day's journey on this side, and as it were a day's journey on the other side round about the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth.

   
 ³²And the people stood up all that day and all that night and all the next day, and they gathered the quails. He that gathered least gathered ten homers, and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp.

   
 ³³And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague.

   
 ³⁴And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah [that is, The graves of lust], because there they buried the people who lusted.

   
 ³⁵And the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah unto Hazeroth, and abode at Hazeroth.

Mark 5

   
 ²And when He had come out of the boat, immediately there met Him from out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

   
 ³who had his dwelling among the tombs. And no man could bind him, no, not even with chains,

   
 ⁴because he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been rent asunder by him and the fetters broken in pieces; neither could any man tame him.

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

   
 ⁶But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshiped Him,

   
 ⁷and cried with a loud voice, and said, "What have I to do with Thee, Jesus, Thou Son of the Most High God? I adjure Thee by God that Thou torment me not!"

   
 ⁸For He had said unto him, "Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit."

   
 ⁹And Jesus asked him, "What is thy name?" And he answered, saying, "My name is Legion, for we are many."

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

   
 ¹¹Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.

   
 ¹²And all the devils besought Him, saying, "Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them."

   
 ¹³And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out and entered into the swine; and the herd ran violently down a steep place and into the sea (they were about two thousand), and were choked in the sea.

   
 ¹⁴And those who fed the swine fled, and told it in the city and in the country. And the people went out to see what it was that had been done.

   
 ¹⁵And they came to Jesus, and saw him that had been possessed by the devil and had the legion, sitting and clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

   
 ¹⁶And those who saw it told the people what had befallen him that was possessed by the devil, and also concerning the swine.

   
 ¹⁷And they began to pray Him to depart from their borders.

   
 ¹⁸And when He had gotten into the boat, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed Him that he might be with Him.

   
 ¹⁹But Jesus suffered him not, and said unto him, "Go home to thy friends, and tell them what great things the Lord hath done for thee, and how He hath had compassion on thee."

   
 ²⁰And he departed and began to proclaim in Decapolis what great things Jesus had done for him. And all men marveled.
