Old/New Testament
12 Afterward, Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the woman from Ethiopia whom he had married (for he had married a woman from Ethiopia).
2 And they said, “What? Has the LORD spoken only by Moses? Has He not spoken also by us?” And the LORD heard.
3 Now, Moses was a very humble man, above all the men who were upon the Earth.
4 And by and by, the LORD said to Moses and to Aaron and to Miriam, “You three come out to the Tabernacle of the Congregation.” And they three came forth.
5 Then the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud and stood in the door of the Tabernacle and called Aaron and Miriam. And they both came forth.
6 And He said, “Hear now My Words. If there is a Prophet of the LORD among you, I will be known to him by a vision, and will speak to him by dream.
7 “My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all My House.
8 “To him I will speak mouth to mouth, and by vision, and not in dark words. But he shall see the similitude of the LORD. Why then were you not afraid to speak against My servant, Moses?”
9 Thus the LORD was very angry with them and departed.
10 Also, the cloud departed from the Tabernacle. And behold, Miriam was leprous like snow. And Aaron looked at Miriam. And behold, she was leprous.
11 Then Aaron said to Moses, “Alas, my lord, I beg you, do not lay the sin upon us which we have foolishly committed, and in which we have sinned.
12 “Please do not let her be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother’s womb.”
13 Then Moses cried to the LORD, saying, “O God, I beg You, heal her now.”
14 And the LORD said to Moses, “If her father had spit in her face, should she not have been ashamed seven days? Let her be shut out of the camp seven days. And afterward she shall be received.”
15 So Miriam was shut out of the camp for seven days. And the people did not set out until Miriam was brought in again.
13 Then afterward, the people set out from Hazeroth and pitched in the wilderness of Paran.
2 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
3 “Send men out to search the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel. You shall send a man from every tribe of their fathers, all rulers among them.”
4 Then Moses sent them out of the wilderness of Paran at the Commandment of the LORD. All those men were heads of the children of Israel.
5 Now their names are these: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur;
6 of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori;
7 of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh;
8 of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph;
9 of the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Nun;
10 of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu;
11 of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi;
12 of the tribe of Joseph (of the tribe of Manasseh), Gaddi the son of Susi;
13 of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli;
14 of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael;
15 of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi;
16 of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
17 These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called the name of Hoshea, the son of Nun, Joshua.
18 So Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, “Go up this way toward the south; and go up into the mountains.
19 “And consider the land, what it is. And the people who dwell in it, whether they are strong or weak, few or many.
20 “Also, the land that they dwell in, whether it is good or bad and what cities that they dwell in, whether they dwell in tents or in walled towns.
21 “And the land, whether it is fat or lean, whether there are trees in it or not. And be of good courage. And bring from the fruit of the land.” For then was the time of the first ripe grapes.
22 So they went up and searched out the land, from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, to go to Hamath.
23 And they ascended toward the south and came to Hebron, where were Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the sons of Anak. And Hebron was built seven years before Zoan, in Egypt.
24 Then they came to the river of Eshcol. And there they cut down a branch with one cluster of grapes. And they bore it upon a bar between two of them, and brought some pomegranates and some figs.
25 That place was called the River Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down there.
26 Then, after forty days, they turned away from searching out the land.
27 And they came to Moses and to Aaron, and to all the Congregation of the children of Israel, in the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh. And they brought tidings to them and to all the Congregation and showed them the fruit of the land.
28 And they told him, and said, “We came to the land where you have sent us, and surely it flows with milk and honey. And here is some of its fruit.
29 “Nevertheless, the people are strong who dwell in the land and the cities are walled and exceedingly great. And moreover, we saw the sons of Anak there.
30 “The Amalekites dwell in the south country. And the Hittites and the Jebusites and the Amorites dwell in the mountains. And the Canaanites dwell by the sea and by the coasts of Jordan.”
31 Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and possess it, for undoubtedly we shall overcome it.”
32 But the men who went up with him, said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than us.”
33 So they brought back a bad report of the land which they had searched for the children of Israel, saying, “The land which we have gone through to search is a land that eats up its inhabitants. For all the people we saw in it were men of great stature.
34 “For there we saw giants (the sons of Anak, who come from giants), so that we seemed in our own sight like grasshoppers. And so we were in their sight.”
14 Then all the Congregation lifted up their voice and cried. And the people wept that night.
2 And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron. And the whole assembly said to them, “If only we had died in the land of Egypt, or in this wilderness. If only we were dead.
3 “Why has the LORD brought us into this land to fall upon the sword now? Our wives and our children shall be a prey. Would it not be better for us to return into Egypt?”
4 And they said to one another, “Let us make a captain and return into Egypt.”
5 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the Congregation of the children of Israel.
6 And Joshua, the son of Nun, and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh (two of them who searched the land), tore their clothes
7 and spoke to all the assembly of the children of Israel, saying, “The land through which we walked to search is a very good land!
8 “If the LORD loves us, He will bring us into this land and give it to us. It is a land that flows with milk and honey!
9 “But do not rebel against the LORD or fear the people of the land. For they are as bread to us! Their shield has departed from them; and the LORD is with us! Do not fear them!”
10 And all the multitude said, “Stone them with stones!” But the Glory of the LORD appeared in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, before all the children of Israel.
11 And the LORD said to Moses, “How long will this people provoke Me? And how long will it be before they believe Me, with all the signs which I have shown among them?
12 “I will strike them with the pestilence and destroy them and will make you a greater and mightier nation than they.”
13 But Moses said to the LORD, “When the Egyptians shall hear it (for You brought this people by Your power from among them),
14 “then they shall say to the inhabitants of the land (for they have heard that You, LORD, are among this people, and that You, LORD, are seen face to face, and that Your cloud stands over them, and that You go before them, by daytime in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night)
15 “that You will kill this people as one man. So, the heathen which have heard the fame of You, shall then say,
16 ‘Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which He swore to them, therefore He has killed them in the wilderness.’
17 “And now, I beg you, let the power of my LORD be great, as You have spoken, saying,
18 ‘The LORD is slow to anger and of great mercy and forgiving iniquity and sin, but not making the wicked innocent and visiting the wickedness of the fathers upon the children in the third and fourth generation.’
19 “Be merciful, I beg You, to the iniquity of this people, according to Your great mercy and as You have forgiven this people from Egypt even until now.”
20 And the LORD said, “I have forgiven it, according to your request.
21 “Nevertheless, as I live, all the Earth shall be filled with the Glory of the LORD.
22 “For all those men who have seen My Glory and My miracles which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness and have tempted Me these ten times and have not obeyed My Voice,
23 “certainly they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers. Nor shall any who provoke Me see it.
24 “But My servant, Caleb, because he had another spirit and has followed Me still, him will I bring into the land where he went. And his seed shall inherit it.
25 “Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites remain in the valley. Turn tomorrow and go into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.”
26 Afterward, the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
27 “How long shall I allow this wicked multitude to murmur against Me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against Me.
28 “Tell them, ‘As I live (says the LORD) I will surely do to you just as you have spoken in My Ears.
29 ‘Your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness, all you who were counted through all your numbers—from twenty years old and above—who have murmured against Me.
30 ‘Except for Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, the son of Nun, you shall doubtless not come into the land for which I lifted up My Hand to make you dwell in.
31 ‘But your children, which you said should be a prey, them I will bring in. And they shall know the land which you have refused.
32 ‘But even your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness.
33 ‘And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years and shall bear your whoredoms until your carcasses are wasted in the wilderness.
34 ‘After the number of the days in which you searched out the land—forty days—for every day you shall bear your iniquity one year. For forty years you shall feel My breach of promise.
35 ‘I the LORD have said, “Certainly I will do so to all this wicked company who are gathered together against Me. In this wilderness they shall be consumed. And there they shall die.
36 “And the men whom Moses had sent to search the land (who, when they came back, made all the people murmur against him, and brought up a slander upon the land),
37 “even those men who brought up that vile slander upon the land, shall die by a plague before the LORD.
38 “But Joshua, the son of Nun, and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, of those men who went to search the land, shall live.”’”
39 Then Moses told these sayings to all the children of Israel. And the people sorrowed greatly.
40 And they rose up early in the morning and went up into the top of the mountain, saying, “Lo, we are ready to go up to the place which the LORD has promised. For we have sinned.”
41 But Moses said, “Why do you transgress the Commandment of the LORD? It will not go well.
42 “Do not go up, (for the LORD is not among you) lest you be overthrown before your enemies.
43 “For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you. And you shall fall by the sword. For inasmuch as you are turned away from the LORD, the LORD will also not be with you.”
44 Yet they obstinately presumed to go up to the top of the mountain. But the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD, and Moses, did not depart out of the camp.
45 Then the Amalekites and the Canaanites who dwelt in that mountain came down and struck them and beat them back to Hormah.
21 And when Jesus had come over again by ship to the other side, a great multitude gathered together to Him. And He was near the sea.
22 And behold, there came one of the rulers of the synagogue whose name was Jairus. And when he saw Him, he fell down at His feet,
23 and urgently begged Him, saying, “My little daughter lies at point of death! I beg You to come and lay Your hands on her, so that she may be healed and live!”
24 Then Jesus went with him. And a great multitude followed Him.
25 And there was a certain woman who had been diseased with an issue of blood for twelve years.
26 And she had seen many physicians and had spent all that she had. And it had availed her nothing. But rather she had become much worse.
27 When she had heard of Jesus, she joined the following crowd and touched His garment.
28 For she said, “If I may but touch His clothes, I shall be whole.”
29 And instantly, the course of her blood was dried up and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
30 And immediately, when Jesus knew in Himself the power that went out of Him, He turned and looked at the crowd, and said, “Who has touched My clothes?
31 And His disciples said to Him, “You Yourself see the crowd, and say, ‘Who touched Me?’”
32 And He looked around and saw her who had done it.
33 And the woman feared and trembled. For she knew what had been done in her. And she came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth.
34 And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you whole. Go in peace and be whole of your plague.”
35 While He was still speaking, there came from that same ruler of the synagogue’s house certain ones who said, “Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Master any further?”
36 As soon as Jesus heard that word spoken, He said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid. Only believe.”
37 And He allowed no one to follow Him except Peter, James and John (the brother of James).
38 So He came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue and saw the tumult and those who wept and wailed greatly.
39 And He went in, and said to them, “Why do you make this trouble, and weep? The child is not dead, but sleeps.”
40 And they ridiculed Him. But He put them all out and took the father and the mother of the child, and those who were with him and entered in where the child lay.
41 And He took the child by the hand, and said to her, “Talitha cumi,” which is by interpretation, “Maiden, I say to you, arise.”
42 And immediately the maiden arose and walked (for she was twelve years old). And they were most greatly astonished.
43 And He strictly charged them that no one should know of it. And commanded to give her food.
