⁶ Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as ^(A)they also lusted.

³⁸ A ^(A)mixed multitude went up with them also, and flocks and herds—a great deal of ^(B)livestock.

³ So it was, when they had heard the Law, ^(A)that they separated all the mixed multitude from Israel.

³³ Do not be deceived: ^(A)“Evil company corrupts good habits.”

¹⁴ But ^(A)put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and ^(B)make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.

(His mother’s name was Shelomith the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.)
