²⁷ And Jesus said to them, You will all fall away this night [that is, you will be caused to stumble and will begin to distrust and desert Me], for it stands written, I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.^(A)

²⁸ But after I am raised [to life], I will go before you into Galilee.

²⁹ But Peter said to Him, Even if they all fall away and are caused to stumble and distrust and desert You, yet I will not [do so]!

³⁰ And Jesus said to him, Truly I tell you, this very night, before a cock crows twice, you will utterly deny Me [disclaiming all connection with Me] three times.

³¹ But [Peter] said more vehemently and repeatedly, [Even] if it should be necessary for me to die with You, I will not deny or disown You! And they all kept saying the same thing.

³² Then they went to a place called Gethsemane, and He said to His disciples, Sit down here while I pray.

³³ And He took with Him Peter and James and John, and began to be ^[a]struck with terror and amazement and deeply troubled and depressed.

³⁴ And He said to them, My soul is exceedingly sad (overwhelmed with grief) so that it almost kills Me! Remain here and keep awake and be watching.

³⁵ And going a little farther, He fell on the ground and kept praying that if it were possible the [^[b]fatal] hour might pass from Him.

³⁶ And He was saying, Abba, [which means] Father, everything is possible for You. Take away this cup from Me; yet not what I will, but what You [will].

³⁷ And He came back and found them sleeping, and He said to Peter, Simon, are you asleep? Have you not the strength to keep awake and watch [with Me for] one hour?

³⁸ Keep awake and watch and pray [constantly], that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

³⁹ He went away again and prayed, saying the same words.

⁴⁰ And again He came back and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they did not know what answer to give Him.

⁴¹ And He came back a third time and said to them, Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough [of that]! The hour has come. The Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinful men (men ^[c]whose way or nature is to act in opposition to God).

⁴² Get up, let us be going! See, My betrayer is at hand!

⁴³ And at once, while He was still speaking, Judas came, one of the Twelve [apostles], and with him a crowd of men with swords and clubs, [who came] from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders [of the Sanhedrin].

⁴⁴ Now the betrayer had given them a signal, saying, The One I shall kiss is [the Man]; seize Him and lead [Him] away safely [so as to prevent His escape].

⁴⁵ And when he came, he went up to Jesus immediately and said, Master! Master! and he ^[d]embraced Him and kissed Him fervently.

⁴⁶ And they threw their hands on Him and arrested Him.

⁴⁷ But one of the bystanders drew his sword and struck the bond servant of the high priest and cut off his ear.

⁴⁸ And Jesus said to them, Have you come out with swords and clubs as [you would] against a robber to capture Me?

⁴⁹ I was with you daily in the temple [^[e]porches and courts] teaching, and you did not seize Me; but [this has happened] that the Scriptures might be fulfilled.

⁵⁰ Then [His disciples], forsaking Him, fled, all [of them].

⁵¹ And a young man was following Him, with nothing but a linen cloth (^[f]sheet) thrown about [his] naked [body]; and they laid hold of him,

⁵² But, leaving behind the linen cloth (^[g]sheet), he fled from them naked.

27 Then came the daughters of Zelophehad son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, from the families of Manasseh son of Joseph. The names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

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

³ Our 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)

⁴ Why 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.

⁵ Moses brought their case before the Lord.

⁶ And the Lord said to Moses,

⁷ The 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.

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

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

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

¹¹ And 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.

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

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

¹⁴ For 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)

¹⁵ And Moses said to the Lord,

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

¹⁷ Who 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.

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

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

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

²¹ He 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.

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

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

28 And the Lord said to Moses,

² Command 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.

³ And 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.

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

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

⁶ It 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.

⁷ Its 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.

⁸ And 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.

⁹ And 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.

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

¹¹ And 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;

¹² And 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.

¹³ And 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.

¹⁴ And 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.

¹⁵ And 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.

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

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

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

¹⁹ But 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.

²⁰ And 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;

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

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

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

²⁴ In 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.

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

²⁶ Also 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.

²⁷ But 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,

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

²⁹ A tenth for each of the seven male lambs,

³⁰ And one male goat to make atonement for you.

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