Old/New Testament
1 The Lord spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai in the Tent of Meeting on the first day of the second month in the second year after they came out of the land of Egypt, saying,
2 Take a census of all the males of the congregation of the Israelites by families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of names, head by head.
3 From twenty years old and upward, all in Israel who are able to go forth to war you and Aaron shall number, company by company.
4 And with you there shall be a man [to assist you] from each tribe, each being the head of his father’s house.
5 And these are the names of the men who shall attend you: Of Reuben, Elizur son of Shedeur;
6 Of Simeon, Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai;
7 Of Judah, Nahshon son of Amminadab;
8 Of Issachar, Nethanel son of Zuar;
9 Of Zebulun, Eliab son of Helon;
10 Of the sons of Joseph: of Ephraim, Elishama son of Ammihud; of Manasseh, Gamaliel son of Pedahzur;
11 Of Benjamin, Abidan son of Gideoni;
12 Of Dan, Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai;
13 Of Asher, Pagiel son of Ochran;
14 Of Gad, Eliasaph son of Deuel;
15 Of Naphtali, Ahira son of Enan.
16 These were those chosen from the congregation, the leaders of their ancestral tribes, heads of thousands [the highest class of officers] in Israel.
17 And Moses and Aaron took these men who have been named,
18 And assembled all the congregation on the first day of the second month, and they declared their ancestry after their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of names from twenty years old and upward, head by head,
19 As the Lord commanded Moses. So he numbered them in the Wilderness of Sinai.
20 The sons of Reuben, Israel’s firstborn, their generations, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of names, head by head, every male from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go to war:
21 Those of the tribe of Reuben numbered 46,500.
22 Of the sons of Simeon, their generations, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, those numbered of them according to the number of names, head by head, every male from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go to war:
23 Those of the tribe of Simeon numbered 59,300.
24 Of the sons of Gad, their generations, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go to war:
25 Those of the tribe of Gad numbered 45,650.
26 Of the sons of Judah, their generations, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, all able to go to war:
27 Those of the tribe of Judah numbered 74,600.
28 Of the sons of Issachar, their generations, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, all able to go to war:
29 Those of the tribe of Issachar numbered 54,400.
30 Of the sons of Zebulun, their generations, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, all able to go to war:
31 Those of the tribe of Zebulun numbered 57,400.
32 Of the sons of Joseph: the sons of Ephraim, their generations, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, all able to go to war:
33 Those of the tribe of Ephraim numbered 40,500.
34 Of the sons of Manasseh, their generations, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, all able to go to war:
35 Those of the tribe of Manasseh numbered 32,200.
36 Of the sons of Benjamin, their generations, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, all able to go to war:
37 Those of the tribe of Benjamin numbered 35,400.
38 Of the sons of Dan, their generations, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, all able to go to war:
39 Those of the tribe of Dan numbered 62,700.
40 Of the sons of Asher, their generations, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, all able to go to war:
41 Those of the tribe of Asher numbered 41,500.
42 Of the sons of Naphtali, their generations, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, all able to go to war:
43 Those of the tribe of Naphtali numbered 53,400.
44 These were numbered by Moses and Aaron, and the leaders of Israel, twelve men, each representing his father’s house.
45 So all those numbered of the Israelites, by their fathers’ houses, from twenty years old and upward, able to go to war in Israel,
46 All who were numbered were 603,550.
47 But the Levites by their fathers’ tribe were not numbered with them.
48 For the Lord had said to Moses,
49 Only the tribe of Levi you shall not number in the census of the Israelites.
50 But appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the Testimony, and over all its vessels and furnishings and all things that belong to it. They shall carry the tabernacle [when journeying] and all its furnishings, and they shall minister to it and encamp around it.
51 When the tabernacle is to go forward, the Levites shall take it down, and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up. And the excluded [any not of the tribe of Levi] who approach the tabernacle shall be put to death.
52 The Israelites shall pitch their tents by their companies, every man by his own camp and every man by his own [tribal] standard.
53 But the Levites shall encamp around the tabernacle of the Testimony, that there may be no wrath upon the congregation of the Israelites; and the Levites shall keep charge of the tabernacle of the Testimony.
54 Thus did the Israelites; according to all that the Lord commanded Moses, so they did.
2 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
2 The Israelites shall encamp, each by his own [tribal] standard or banner with the ensign of his father’s house, opposite the Tent of Meeting and facing it on every side.
3 On the east side toward the sunrise shall they of the standard of the camp of Judah encamp by their companies; Nahshon son of Amminadab being the leader of the sons of Judah.
4 Judah’s host as numbered totaled 74,600.
5 Next to Judah the tribe of Issachar shall encamp, Nethanel son of Zuar being the leader of the sons of Issachar.
6 Issachar’s host as numbered totaled 54,400.
7 Then the tribe of Zebulun, Eliab son of Helon being the leader of the sons of Zebulun.
8 Zebulun’s host as numbered totaled 57,400.
9 All these [three tribes] numbered in the camp of Judah totaled 186,400. They shall set forth first [on the march].
10 On the south side shall be the standard of the camp of Reuben by their companies, the leader of the sons of Reuben being Elizur son of Shedeur.
11 Reuben’s host as numbered totaled 46,500.
12 Those who encamp next to Reuben shall be the tribe of Simeon, the leader of the sons of Simeon being Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai.
13 Simeon’s host as numbered totaled 59,300.
14 Then the tribe of Gad, the leader of the sons of Gad being Eliasaph son of Reuel (Deuel).
15 Gad’s host as numbered totaled 45,650.
16 The whole number in [the three tribes of] the camp of Reuben was 151,450. They shall take second place [on the march].
17 Then the Tent of Meeting shall set out, with the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camps; as they encamp so shall they set forward, every man in his place, standard after standard.
18 On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of Ephraim by their companies, the leader of the sons of Ephraim being Elishama son of Ammihud.
19 Ephraim’s host as numbered totaled 40,500.
20 Beside Ephraim shall be the tribe of Manasseh, the leader of the sons of Manasseh being Gamaliel son of Pedahzur.
21 Manasseh’s host as numbered totaled 32,200.
22 Then the tribe of Benjamin, the leader of the sons of Benjamin being Abidan son of Gideoni.
23 Benjamin’s host as numbered totaled 35,400.
24 The whole number [of the three tribes] in the camp of Ephraim totaled 108,100. They shall go forward in third place.
25 The standard of the camp of Dan shall be on the north side [of the tabernacle] by their companies, the leader of the sons of Dan being Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai.
26 Dan’s host as numbered totaled 62,700.
27 Encamped next to Dan shall be the tribe of Asher, the leader of the sons of Asher being Pagiel son of Ochran.
28 Asher’s host as numbered totaled 41,500.
29 Then the tribe of Naphtali, the leader of the sons of Naphtali being Ahira son of Enan.
30 Naphtali’s host as numbered totaled 53,400.
31 The whole number [of the three tribes] in the camp of Dan totaled 157,600. They shall set out last, standard after standard.
32 These are the Israelites as numbered by their fathers’ houses. All in the camps who were numbered by their companies were 603,550.
33 But the Levites were not numbered with the Israelites, for so the Lord commanded Moses.
34 Thus the Israelites did according to all the Lord commanded Moses; so they encamped by their standards, and so they set forward, everyone with his [tribal] families, according to his father’s house.
3 Again Jesus went into a synagogue, and a man was there who had one withered hand [[a]as the result of accident or disease].
2 And [the Pharisees] kept watching Jesus [closely] to see whether He would cure him on the Sabbath, so that they might get a charge to bring against Him [[b]formally].
3 And He said to the man who had the withered hand, Get up [and stand here] in the midst.
4 And He said to them, Is it lawful and right on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to take it? But they kept silence.
5 And He glanced around at them with vexation and anger, grieved at the hardening of their hearts, and said to the man, Hold out your hand. He held it out, and his hand was [completely] restored.
6 Then the Pharisees went out and immediately held a consultation with the Herodians against Him, how they might [devise some means to] put Him to death.
7 And Jesus retired with His disciples to the lake, and a great throng from Galilee followed Him. Also from Judea
8 And from Jerusalem and Idumea and from beyond the Jordan and from about Tyre and Sidon—a vast multitude, hearing all the many things that He was doing, came to Him.
9 And He told His disciples to have a little boat in [constant] readiness for Him because of the crowd, lest they press hard upon Him and crush Him.
10 For He had healed so many that all who had distressing bodily diseases kept falling upon Him and pressing upon Him in order that they might touch Him.
11 And the spirits, the unclean ones, [c]as often as they might see Him, fell down before Him and kept screaming out, You are the Son of God!
12 And He charged them strictly and severely under penalty again and again that they should not make Him known.
13 And He went up on the hillside and called to Him [[d]for Himself] those whom He wanted and chose, and they came to Him.
14 And He appointed twelve to [e]continue to be with Him, and that He might send them out to preach [as apostles or special messengers]
15 And to have authority and power to heal the sick and to drive out demons:
16 [They were] Simon, and He surnamed [him] Peter;
17 James son of Zebedee and John the brother of James, and He surnamed them Boanerges, that is, Sons of Thunder;
18 And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew (Nathaniel), and Matthew, and Thomas, and James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus (Judas, not Iscariot), and Simon the Cananaean [also called Zelotes],
19 And Judas Iscariot, he who betrayed Him.
