Old/New Testament
The Fourth Book of Moses, called [a]Numbers
1 2 Moses and Aaron with the twelve princes of the tribes are commanded of the Lord to number them that are able to go to war. 49 The Levites are exempted for the service of the Lord.
1 The Lord spake again unto Moses in the wilderness of [b]Sinai, in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, in the first day of the [c]second month, in the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying,
2 (A)Take ye the sum of all the Congregation of the children of Israel, after their families and households of their fathers, with the number of their names: to wit, all the males, [d]man by man:
3 From twenty years old and above, all that go forth to the war in Israel: thou and Aaron shall number them throughout their armies.
4 And with you shall be [e]men of every tribe, such as are the heads of the house of their fathers.
5 And these are the names of the men that shall [f]stand with you, of the tribe of Reuben, Elizur, the son of Shedeur:
6 Of Simeon, Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai:
7 Of Judah, Nahshon the son of Amminadab:
8 Of Issachar, Nethanel the son of Zuar:
9 Of Zebulun, Eliab, the son of Helon:
10 Of the children of Joseph: of Ephraim, Elishama the son of Ammihud: of Manasseh, Gamaliel, the son of Pedahzur:
11 Of Benjamin, Abidan the son of Gideoni:
12 Of Dan, Ahiezer, the son of Ammishaddai:
13 Of Asher, Pagiel, the son of Ocran:
14 Of Gad, Eliasaph the son of Deuel:
15 Of Naphtali, Ahira the son of Enan.
16 These were famous in the Congregation, [g]princes of the tribes of their fathers, and heads over thousands in Israel.
17 ¶ Then Moses and Aaron took these men which are expressed by their names.
18 And they called all the Congregation together in the first day of the second month, who declared [h]their kindred by their families, and by the houses of their fathers according to the number of their names, from twenty years old and above, man by man.
19 As the Lord had commanded Moses, so he numbered them in the wilderness of Sinai.
20 So were the sons of [i]Reuben Israel’s eldest son by their generations, by their families, and by the houses of their fathers according to the number of their names, man by man, every male from twenty years old and above, as many as [j]went forth to war:
21 The number of them, I say, of the tribe of Reuben, was six and forty thousand, and five hundred.
22 Of the sons of Simeon by their generations, by their families, and by the houses of their fathers, the sum thereof by the number of their names, man by man, every male from twenty years old, and above, all that went forth to war:
23 The sum of them, I say, of the tribe of Simeon was nine and fifty thousand and three hundred.
24 ¶ Of the sons of Gad by their generations, by their families, and by the houses of their fathers, according to the number of their names, from twenty years old and above, all that went forth to war:
25 The number of them, I say, of the tribe of Gad was five and forty thousand, and six hundred and fifty.
26 ¶ Of the sons of Judah by their generations, by their families, and by the houses of their fathers, according to the number of their names, from twenty years old and above, all that went forth to war:
27 The number of them, I say, of the tribe of Judah, was three score and fourteen thousand, and six hundred.
28 ¶ Of the sons of Issachar by their generations, by their families, and by the houses of their fathers, according to the number of their names, from twenty years old and above, all that went forth to war:
29 The number of them also of the tribe of Issachar was four and fifty thousand, and four hundred.
30 ¶ Of the sons of Zebulun by their generations, by their families, and by the houses of their fathers, according to the number of their names, from twenty years old and above: all that went forth to war:
31 The number of them also of the tribe of Zebulun was seven and fifty thousand and four hundred.
32 ¶ Of the sons of Joseph, namely of the sons of Ephraim by their generations, by their families, and by the houses of their fathers, according to the number of their names, from twenty years old and above, all that went forth to war:
33 The number of them also of the tribe of Ephraim was forty thousand and five hundred.
34 ¶ Of the sons of Manasseh by their generations, by their families and by the houses of their fathers, according to the number of their names, from twenty years old and above, all that went forth to war:
35 The number of them also of the tribe of Manasseh was two and thirty thousand and two hundred.
36 Of the sons of Benjamin by their generations, by their families, and by the houses of their fathers, according to the number of their names, from twenty years old and above, all that went forth to war:
37 The number of them also of the tribe of Benjamin was five and thirty thousand and four hundred.
38 Of the sons of Dan by their generations, by their families, and by the houses of their fathers, according to the number of their names, from twenty years old and above, all that went forth to war:
39 The number of them also of the tribe of Dan was three score and two thousand, and seven hundred.
40 ¶ Of the sons of Asher by their generations, by their families, and by the houses of their fathers, according to the number of their names, from twenty years old and above, all that went forth to war:
41 The number of them also of the tribe of Asher was one and forty thousand and five hundred.
42 ¶ Of the children of Naphtali, by their generations, by their families, and by the houses of their fathers, according to the number of their names, from twenty years old and above, all that went to the war:
43 The number of them also of the tribe of Naphtali was three and fifty thousand, and four hundred.
44 These are the [k]sums which Moses, and Aaron numbered, and the Princes of Israel, the twelve men which were every one for the house of their fathers.
45 So this was all the sum of the sons of Israel, by the houses of their fathers, from twenty years old and above, all that went to the war in Israel.
46 And all they were in number six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty.
47 But the Levites, after the tribes of their fathers were not numbered among [l]them.
48 For the Lord had spoken unto Moses, and said,
49 Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them among the children of Israel.
50 But thou shalt appoint the Levites over the Tabernacle of the Testimony, and over all the instruments thereof, and over all things that belong to it: they shall bear the Tabernacle, and all the instruments thereof, and shall minister in it, and shall [m]dwell round about the Tabernacle.
51 And when the Tabernacle goeth forth, the Levites shall take it down: and when the Tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up: for the [n]stranger that cometh near, shall be slain.
52 Also the children of Israel shall pitch their tents every man in his camp, and every man under his standard throughout their armies.
53 But the Levites shall pitch round about the Tabernacle of the Testimony, lest vengeance [o]come upon the Congregation of the children of Israel, and the Levites shall take the charge of the Tabernacle of the Testimony.
54 So the children of Israel did according to all that the Lord had commanded Moses: so did they.
2 2 The order of the tents, and the names of the Captains of the Israelites.
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, and to Aaron, saying,
2 [p]Every man of the children of Israel shall camp by his standard, and under the ensign of their father’s house: far off, about the Tabernacle of the Congregation shall they pitch.
3 On the East side toward the rising of the sun, shall they of the standard of the host of Judah pitch according to their armies: and Nahshon the son of Amminadab shall be [q]captain of the sons of Judah.
4 And his host and the number of them were seventy and four thousand and six hundred.
5 Next unto him shall they of the tribe [r]of Issachar pitch, and Nethanel the son of Zuar shall be the captain of the sons of Issachar:
6 And his host and the number thereof were four and fifty thousand, and four hundred.
7 Then the tribe of Zebulun, and Eliab the son of Helon captain over the sons of Zebulun:
8 And his host and the number thereof seven and fifty thousand and four hundred:
9 The whole number of the [s]host of Judah are an hundred fourscore and six thousand, and four hundred according to their armies: they shall first set forth.
10 ¶ On the South side shall be the standard of the host [t]of Reuben according to their armies: and the captain over the sons of Reuben shall be Elizur the son of Shedeur.
11 And his host and the number thereof, six and forty thousand and five hundred.
12 And by him shall the tribe of Simeon pitch, and the captain over the sons of Simeon shall be Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai:
13 And his host, and the number of them, nine and fifty thousand and three hundred.
14 And the tribe of Gad, and the captain over the sons of Gad shall be Eliasaph the son of [u]Deuel:
15 And his host and the number of them were five and forty thousand, six hundred and fifty.
16 All the number of the camp of Reuben were an hundred and one and fifty thousand, and four hundred and fifty according to their armies, and they shall set forth in the second place.
17 ¶ Then the Tabernacle of the Congregation shall go with the host of the Levites, in the [v]midst of the camp as they have pitched, so shall they go forward, every man in his order, according to their standards.
18 ¶ [w]The standard of the camp of Ephraim shall be toward the West according to their armies: and the captain over the sons of Ephraim shall be Elishama the son of Ammihud:
19 And his host and the number of them were forty thousand and five hundred.
20 And by him shall be the tribe of Manasseh and the captain over the sons of Manasseh, shall be Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur:
21 And his host and the number of them were two and thirty thousand and two hundred.
22 And the tribe of Benjamin, and the captain over the sons of Benjamin shall be Abidan, the son of Gideoni:
23 And his host, and the number of them were five and thirty thousand and four hundred.
24 All the number of the camp of Ephraim were an hundred and eight thousand and one hundred according to their armies, and they shall go in the third place.
25 ¶ The standard of the host of [x]Dan shall be toward the North according to their armies: and the captain over the children of Dan shall be Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai:
26 And his host and the number of them were two and threescore thousand and seven hundred.
27 And by him shall the tribe of Asher pitch, and the captain over the sons of Asher shall be Pagiel the son of Ocran.
28 And his host and the number of them were one and forty thousand, and five hundred.
29 ¶ Then the tribe of Naphtali, and the captain over the children of Naphtali shall be Ahira the son of Enan:
30 And his host and the number of them were three and fifty thousand and four hundred.
31 All the number of the host of Dan was an hundred and seven and fifty thousand and six hundred: they shall go hindmost with their standards.
32 ¶ These are the [y]sums of the children of Israel by the houses of their fathers, all the number of the host, according to their armies, six hundred and three thousand, five hundred and fifty.
33 But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
34 And the children of Israel did according to all that the Lord had commanded Moses: so they pitched according to their [z]standards, and so they journeyed every one with his families, according to the houses of their fathers.
3 1 The withered hand is healed. 6 The Pharisees consult with the Herodians. 10 Many are healed by touching Christ. 11 At his sight the devils fall down before him. 14 The twelve Apostles. 24 The kingdom divided against itself. 29 Blasphemy against the holy Ghost. 33 Christ’s parents.
1 And (A)[a]he entered again into the Synagogue, and there was a man which had a [b]withered hand.
2 And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the Sabbath day, that they might accuse him.
3 Then he said unto the man which had the withered hand, Arise: stand forth in the midst.
4 And he said to them, Is it lawful to do a good deed on the Sabbath day, or to do evil? to save the [c]life, or to kill? but they held their peace.
5 Then he looked round about on them [d]angrily, mourning also for the [e]hardness of their hearts, and said to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored, as whole as the other.
6 ¶ [f]And the Pharisees departed, and straightway gathered a council with the [g]Herodians against him, that they might destroy him.
7 But Jesus avoided with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude followed him from Galilee, and from Judea,
8 And from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and [h]beyond Jordan: and they that dwelled about Tyre and Sidon, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him in great number.
9 And he commanded his disciples, that a little ship should [i]wait for him, because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.
10 For he had healed many, insomuch that they pressed upon him to touch him, as many as had [j]plagues.
11 And when the [k]unclean spirits saw him, they fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.
12 And he sharply rebuked them, to the end they should not utter him.
13 ¶ (B)Then he went up into a mountain, and called unto him whom he would, and they came unto him.
14 [l]And he [m]appointed twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them to preach.
15 And that they might have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:
16 And the first was Simon, and he named Simon, Peter,
17 Then James the son of Zebedee, and John James’ brother (and surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder.)
18 And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and [n]Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite,
19 And Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him, and they came [o]home.
