Old/New Testament
29 “‘Moreover, on the first day of the seventh month, you shall have a Holy Convocation. You shall do no servile work. It shall be a day of blowing the trumpets to you.
2 ‘And you shall make a Burnt Offering for a sweet savor to the LORD: one young bullock, one ram, seven lambs of a year old, without blemish.
3 ‘And their Meat Offering shall be of fine flour, mingled with oil—three tenths of an ephah to the bullock and two tenths of an ephah to the ram
4 ‘and one tenth to the lamb, for the seven lambs—
5 ‘and a male goat for a Sin Offering, to make an atonement for you,
6 ‘in addition to the Burnt Offering of the month and its Meat Offering and the continual Burnt Offering and its Meat Offering and the Drink Offerings of the same, according to their manner, for a sweet savor. It is a sacrifice made by fire to the LORD.
7 ‘And you shall have, on the tenth day of the seventh month, a Holy Convocation. And you shall humble yourselves and shall not do any work.
8 ‘But you shall offer a Burnt Offering to the LORD, for a sweet savor: one young bullock, a ram, and seven lambs of a year old. See that they are without blemish.
9 ‘And their Meat Offering shall be of fine flour, mingled with oil, three tenths of an ephah to a bullock, two tenths to a ram,
10 ‘one tenth to every lamb, throughout the seven lambs,
11 ‘a male goat for a Sin Offering (in addition to the Sin Offering to make the atonement and the continual Burnt Offering and its Meat Offering and their Drink Offerings).
12 ‘And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, you shall have a Holy Convocation. You shall do no servile work thereon, but you shall keep a Feast to the LORD for seven days.
13 ‘And you shall offer a Burnt Offering for a sacrifice made by fire of sweet savor to the LORD: thirteen young bullocks, two rams, fourteen lambs of a year old. They shall be without blemish.
14 ‘And their Meat Offering shall be of fine flour, mingled with oil, three tenths of an ephah to every bullock of the thirteen bullocks, two tenths to each of the two rams,
15 ‘and one tenth to each of the fourteen lambs,
16 ‘and one male goat for a Sin Offering, in addition to the continual Burnt Offering, its Meat Offering and its Drink Offering.
17 ‘And the second day you shall offer twelve young bullocks, two rams, fourteen lambs of a year old without blemish,
18 ‘with their Meat Offering and their Drink Offerings for the bullocks, for the rams and for the lambs, according to their number, after the manner,
19 ‘and a male goat for a Sin Offering (in addition to the continual Burnt Offering and its Meat Offering and their Drink Offerings).
20 ‘Also, the third day, you shall offer eleven bullocks, two rams and fourteen lambs of a year old without blemish,
21 ‘with their Meat Offering and their Drink Offerings, for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, after their number, according to the manner,
22 ‘and a male goat for a Sin Offering, in addition to the continual Burnt Offering and its Meat Offering and its Drink Offering.
23 ‘And the fourth day, you shall offer ten bullocks, two rams and fourteen lambs of a year old without blemish,

25 ‘and a male goat for a Sin Offering, in addition to the continual Burnt Offering and its Meat Offering and its Drink Offering.
26 ‘On the fifth day also, you shall offer nine bullocks, two rams and fourteen lambs of a year old without blemish,
27 ‘and their Meat Offering and their Drink Offerings, for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, after their number, according to the manner,
28 ‘and a male goat for a Sin Offering, in addition to the continual Burnt Offering and its Meat Offering and its Drink Offering.
29 ‘And on the sixth day, you shall offer eight bullocks, two rams and fourteen lambs of a year old without blemish,
30 ‘and their Meat Offering and their Drink Offerings, for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, after their number, according to the manner,
31 ‘and a male goat for a Sin Offering, in addition to the continual Burnt Offering and its Meat Offering and its Drink Offering.
32 ‘On the seventh day also, you shall offer seven bullocks, two rams, fourteen lambs of a year old without blemish,
33 ‘and their Meat Offering and their Drink Offerings, for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, after their number, according to the manner,
34 ‘and a male goat for a Sin Offering, in addition to the continual Burnt Offering and its Meat Offering and its Drink Offering.
35 ‘On the eighth day, you shall have a solemn assembly. You shall do no servile work,
36 ‘but you shall offer a Burnt Offering, a sacrifice made by fire, for a sweet savor to the LORD: one bullock, one ram, seven lambs of a year old without blemish,
37 ‘their Meat Offering and their Drink Offerings, for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, after their number, according to the manner,
38 ‘and a male goat for a Sin Offering, in addition to the continual Burnt Offering and its Meat Offering and its Drink Offering.
39 ‘These things you shall do for the LORD in your Feasts, in addition to your vows and your Free Offerings for your Burnt Offerings, and for your Meat Offerings, and for your Drink Offerings, and for your Peace Offerings.’”
30 Moses also spoke to the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, “This is the thing which the LORD has Commanded,
2 ‘Whoever vows a vow to the LORD or swears an oath to bind himself by a bond, he shall not break his promise, but shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.
3 ‘If a woman also vows a vow to the LORD, and binds herself by a bond, in her father’s house, in the time of her youth,
4 ‘and her father hears her vow and bond (with which she has bound herself), and her father holds his peace concerning her, then all her vows shall stand and every bond with which she has bound herself shall stand.
5 ‘But, if her father forbids her the same day that he hears all her vows and bonds with which she has bound herself, they shall not be of value and the LORD will forgive her, because her father forbade her.
6 ‘And if she has a husband when she vows or pronounces anything with her lips (with which she binds herself)—
7 ‘if her husband heard it and holds his peace concerning her the same day he hears it—then her vow shall stand and her bonds with which she binds herself shall stand in effect.
8 ‘But if her husband forbids her the same day that he hears it, then shall he make her vow which she has made (and that that she has pronounced with her lips, with which she bound herself) of no effect. And the LORD will forgive her.
9 ‘But every vow of a widow, and of she that is divorced (with which she has bound herself) shall stand in effect with her.
10 ‘And if she vowed in her husband’s house, or bound herself straightly with an oath,
11 ‘and her husband has heard it and held his peace concerning her, not disallowing her, then all her vows shall stand. And every bond with which she bound herself shall stand in effect.
12 ‘But if her husband voided them the same day that he heard them, nothing that proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows or concerning her bonds shall stand in effect. Her husband has voided them. And the LORD will forgive her.
13 ‘Every vow and every oath or bond, made to humble the soul, her husband may establish it. Or, her husband may break it.
14 ‘But if her husband holds his peace concerning her from day to day, then he establishes all her vows and all her bonds which she has made. He has confirmed them because he held his peace concerning her the same day that he heard them.
15 ‘But if he breaks them after he has heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity.’”
16 These are the Ordinances which the LORD Commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between the father and his daughter, being young in her father’s house.
31 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Take vengeance on the Midianites for the children of Israel. And afterward you shall be gathered to your people.”
3 And Moses spoke to the people, saying, “Some of you, arm yourselves for war. And let them go against Midian, to execute the vengeance of the LORD against Midian.
4 “A thousand of every tribe throughout all the tribes of Israel shall you send to the war.”
5 So there were taken out of the thousands of Israel, twelve thousand, prepared to war, of every tribe a thousand.
6 And Moses sent them to war, a thousand of every tribe. And he sent them with Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the Priest, to the war. And the holy instruments—that is, the trumpets to blow—were in his hand.
7 And they warred against Midian, as the LORD had Commanded Moses, and killed all the males.
8 They also killed the kings of Midian among those who were killed: Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian. And they killed Balaam, the son of Beor, with the sword.
9 But the children of Israel took the women of Midian prisoners, and their children, and plundered all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods.
10 And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their villages, with fire.
11 And they took all the plunder, and all the prey, both of men and beasts.
12 And they brought the captives, and that which they had taken, and the spoil, to Moses and to Eleazar the Priest and to the Congregation of the children of Israel, into the camp in the plain of Moab, which was by Jordan, toward Jericho.
13 Then, Moses and Eleazar the Priest and all the princes of the Congregation went out of the camp to meet them.
14 And Moses was angry with the captains of the army, with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, who came from the war and battle.
15 And Moses said to them, “What? Have you saved all the women?
16 “Behold, these caused the children of Israel (through the counsel of Balaam) to commit a trespass against the LORD as concerning Peor. And there came a plague among the Congregation of the LORD.
17 “Now, therefore, kill all the males among the children, and kill all the women that have known man by carnal copulation.
18 “But all the female children that have not known carnal copulation, keep alive for yourselves.
19 “And you shall remain outside the camp for seven days, all who have killed any person and all who have touched any dead. And purify both yourselves and your prisoners on the third day and the seventh.
20 “Also, you shall purify every garment and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats’ hair, and all things made of wood.”
21 And Eleazar the Priest said to the men of war which went to the battle, “This is the Ordinance of the Law which the LORD Commanded Moses.
22 “As for gold, and silver, brass, iron, tin, and lead —
23 “all that may abide the fire — you shall make it go through the fire. And it shall be clean. Still, it shall be purified with the water of purification. And all that is not subject to the fire, you shall cause to pass by the water.
24 “You shall also wash your clothes on the seventh day, and you shall be clean. And afterward you shall come into the camp.”
25 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
26 “Take the sum of the plunder that was taken, both of persons and of cattle, you and Eleazar the Priest, and the chief fathers of the Congregation.
27 “And divide the plunder between the soldiers that went to the war, and all the Congregation.
28 “And you shall take a tribute to the LORD from the men of war who went out to battle, one of every five hundred from the people and from the cattle and from the donkeys and from the sheep.
29 “You shall take it from their half and give it to Eleazar the Priest, as a Heave Offering to the LORD.
30 “But from the half of the children of Israel you shall take one, taken out of fifty, of the people, of the cattle, of the donkeys, and of the sheep, of all the livestock. And you shall give them to the Levites, who are in charge of the Tabernacle of the LORD.”
31 And Moses and Eleazar the Priest did as the LORD had Commanded Moses.
32 And the remainder — the rest of the plunder which the men of war had taken — was six hundred seventy-five thousand sheep,
33 and seventy-two thousand cattle,
34 and sixty-one thousand donkeys,
35 and thirty-two thousand people, in all, of women who had lain by no man.
36 And the half — the part of those who went out to war, touching the number of sheep — was three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred.
37 And the LORD’s tribute from the sheep was six hundred seventy-five.
38 And there were thirty-six thousand cattle, of which the LORD’s tribute was seventy-two.
39 And there were thirty thousand five hundred donkeys, of which the LORD’s tribute was sixty-one.
40 And sixteen thousand people, of which the LORD’s tribute was thirty-two people.
41 And Moses gave the tribute from the LORD’s offering to Eleazar the Priest, as the LORD had Commanded Moses,
42 and from the half of the children of Israel, which Moses divided from the men of war.
43 For the half that pertained to the Congregation was three hundred thirty- seven thousand five hundred sheep,
44 and thirty-six thousand cattle,
45 and thirty thousand five hundred donkeys,
46 and sixteen thousand people.
47 Moses, I say, took from the half that pertained to the children of Israel, (one taken out of fifty) of the persons, and of the cattle, and gave them to the Levites, who have the charge of the Tabernacle of the LORD, as the LORD had Commanded Moses.
48 Then the captains who were over thousands of the army — the captains over the thousands and the captains over the hundreds — came to Moses,
49 and said to Moses, “Your servants have counted the men of war who are under our authority, and there lacks not one man of us.
50 “We have, therefore, brought a present to the LORD — what every man found of jewels of gold, bracelets, and chains, rings, earrings, and ornaments of the legs — to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD.”
51 And Moses and Eleazar the Priest took the gold from them, and all wrought jewels.
52 And all the gold from the offering that they offered up to the LORD (of the captains over thousands and hundreds) was sixteen thousand seven hundred fifty shekels.
53 The men of war had plundered, every man for himself.
54 And Moses and Eleazar the Priest took the gold from the captains over the thousands, and over the hundreds, and brought it into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, for a memorial of the children of Israel before the LORD.
9 And He said to them, “Truly I say to you that there are some of those who stand here who shall not taste of death till they have seen the Kingdom of God come with power.”
2 And six days later, Jesus took with Him Peter, and James, and John, and brought them up into a high mountain, out of the way, alone. And His shape was changed before them.
3 And His clothing shined, and was very white, as snow; whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them.
4 And Elijah appeared to them, with Moses. And they were talking with Jesus.
5 Then Peter answered, and said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three tabernacles; one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
6 Yet he did not know what he said. For they were afraid.
7 And there was a cloud that shadowed them. And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son. Hear Him.”
8 And suddenly they looked around and saw no one, except Jesus.
9 And as they came down from the mountain, He instructed them to tell no one what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead again.
10 So they kept that matter to themselves and asked each another what the ‘rising from the dead again’ might mean.
11 Also they asked Him, saying, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
12 And He answered, and said to them, “Elijah truly shall come first, and restore all things. And as it is written of the Son of Man, He must suffer many things and be rejected.
13 “But I say to you, that Elijah has come. And they have done to him whatever they would, as it is written of him.”
14 And when He came to His disciples, He saw a great multitude around them, and the scribes disputing with them.
15 And immediately all the people, when they saw Him, were amazed and ran to Him and greeted Him.
16 Then He asked the scribes, “What are you disputing among yourselves?”
17 And one of the crowd answered, and said, “Master, I have brought my son to You, who has a mute spirit!
18 And wherever I have taken him, the spirit has seized him. And he foams and gnashes his teeth and pines away. And I asked Your disciples to cast him out and they could not.”
19 Then Jesus answered him, and said, “O faithless generation! How long now shall I be with you? How long now shall I put up with you?! Bring him to Me.”
20 So they brought him to Jesus. And as soon as the spirit saw Him, he seized the child. And he fell down on the ground wallowing and foaming.
21 Then He asked his father, “How long has he been this way?” And he said, “His whole childhood.
22 “And often he casts him into the fire, or into the water, to destroy him. But if You can do anything, help us and have compassion upon us.”
23 And Jesus said to him, “If you can believe it, all things are possible to the one who believes.”
24 And immediately the father of the child, crying with tears, said, “Lord, I believe! Help my unbelief!”
25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, “You dumb and deaf spirit, I command you come out of him! And enter into him no more!”
26 Then the spirit cried, and seized the child again, and came out. And the child was as one dead; so much so that many said, “He is dead.”
27 But Jesus took his hand and lifted him up. And he arose.
28 And when He had come into the house, His disciples asked Him secretly, “Why couldn’t we cast him out?”
29 And He said to them, “This kind can come forth by no other means but prayer and fasting.”
