10 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 Make thee two trumpets of silver; of beaten work shalt thou make them that thou may use them for the convocation of the congregation and for the moving of the camp.
3 And when they shall blow them, all the congregation shall join themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.
4 But when they blow only one, then the princes, who are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee.
5 When ye blow an alarm, then ye shall move the camp of those that are lodged towards the east.
6 And when ye blow an alarm the second time, then ye shall move the camp of those that are lodged on the side of the Negev; they shall blow an alarm for their journeys.
7 But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.
8 And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets; and you shall have them as a perpetual statute throughout your generations.
9 And when ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresses you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.
10 Also in the day of your gladness and in your solemn days and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace, that they may be to you for a memorial before your God; I AM your God.
11 ¶ And it came to pass on the twentieth day of the second month, in the second year, that the cloud was taken up from off the tabernacle of the testimony.
12 And the sons of Israel moved out of the wilderness of Sinai, and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran.
13 And they moved the first time according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
14 In the first place went the standard of the camp of the sons of Judah according to their armies, and over his host was Nahshon, the son of Amminadab.
15 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Issachar was Nethaneel, the son of Zuar.
16 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun was Eliab, the son of Helon.
17 And the tabernacle was already taken down, and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle.
18 Then the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according to their armies, and over his host was Elizur, the son of Shedeur.
19 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Simeon was Shelumiel, the son of Zurishaddai.
20 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Gad was Eliasaph, the son of Deuel.
21 Then the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary, and while they were coming, the others set up the tabernacle.
22 After them the standard of the camp of the sons of Ephraim set forward according to their armies, and over his host was Elishama, the son of Ammihud.
23 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh was Gamaliel, the son of Pedahzur.
24 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin was Abidan, the son of Gideoni.
25 Then the standard of the camp of the sons of Dan set forward according to their armies, gathering together all the camps, and over his host was Ahiezer, the son of Ammishaddai.
26 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Asher was Pagiel, the son of Ocran.
27 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali was Ahira, the son of Enan.
28 Thus were the journeyings of the sons of Israel according to their armies when they set forward.
29 ¶ Then Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law, We are journeying unto the place of which the LORD said, I will give it to you. Come thou with us, and we will do thee good; for the LORD has spoken good concerning Israel.
30 And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to my own land and to my kindred.
31 And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; for thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou shalt be to us instead of eyes.
32 And it shall be, if thou go with us, that when we come into the goodness that the LORD shall do unto us, that we will do thee good.
33 Thus they departed from the mount of the LORD three days’ journey, and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them in the three days’ journey, searching out a resting place for them.
34 And the cloud of the LORD was upon them by day, from when they went out of the camp.
35 And it came to pass, when the ark was moved, that Moses said, Rise up, LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered, and let those that hate thee flee before thee.
36 And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the ten thousands of Israel.
11 ¶ And it came to pass that the people complained in an evil manner in the ears of the LORD, and the LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled, and the fire of the LORD burnt among them and consumed in the uttermost parts of the camp.
2 Then the people cried unto Moses, and when Moses prayed unto the LORD, the fire was quenched.
3 And he called the name of the place Taberah because the fire of the LORD burnt among them.
4 ¶ And the vulgar who were mixed in among them returned to their lust; and even the sons of Israel wept and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
5 We remember the fish, which we freely ate in Egypt, the cucumbers and the melons and the leeks and the onions and the garlic,
6 but now our soul is dried away; there is nothing at all besides this manna before our eyes.
7 And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium.
8 And the people scattered about and gathered it and ground it in mills or beat it in a mortar and baked it in pans and made cakes of it, and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.
9 And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.
10 Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, each man in the door of his tent; and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased.
11 And Moses said unto the LORD, Why hast thou afflicted thy slave and why have I not found grace in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all these people upon me?
12 Have I conceived all these people? Have I begotten them, that thou should say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nurse carries a sucking child, unto the land which thou hast sworn unto their fathers?
13 Where should I find flesh to give unto all these people? For they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh that we may eat.
14 I am not able to bear all these people alone because it is too heavy for me.
15 And if thou must deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found grace in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.
16 ¶ Then the LORD said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be elders of the people, and their princes; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the testimony that they may stand there with thee.
17 And I will come down and talk with thee there, and I will take of the spirit which is in thee and will put it upon them, and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.
18 But thou shalt say unto the people, Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, and ye shall eat flesh, for ye have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was better with us in Egypt. Therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
19 Ye shall not eat one day nor two days nor five days neither ten days nor twenty days,
20 But even a whole month, until it comes out of your nostrils and it becomes loathsome unto you, because ye have despised the LORD who is among you and have wept before him, saying, Why have we come forth out of Egypt?
21 Then Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand footmen, and thou hast said, I will give them flesh that they may eat a whole month!
22 Shall sheep and oxen be slain for them, to suffice them? Or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice them?
23 Then the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD’s hand waxed short? Thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not.
14 ¶ Two days after was the passover and the days of unleavened bread; and the princes of the priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, that they might kill him.
2 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people.
3 And he being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, sitting at the table, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and breaking the alabaster, she poured it over his head.
4 And there were some that had indignation within themselves and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?
5 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred denarius and given to the poor. And they murmured against her.
6 But Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? She has wrought a good work on me.
7 For ye have the poor with you always, and whenever ye will, ye may do them good; but me ye have not always.
8 She has done what she could, for she has anticipated anointing my body for the burial.
9 Verily I say unto you, Wherever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she has done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.
10 Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, came unto the princes of the priests to deliver him unto them.
11 And when they heard it, they were glad and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.
12 ¶ And the first day of the feast of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou may eat the passover?
13 And he sends forth two of his disciples and said unto them, Go into the city, and a man shall meet you bearing a pitcher of water; follow him.
14 And wherever he shall go in, say to the husband of the house, The Master says, Where is the guestchamber where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
15 And he will show you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us.
16 And his disciples went forth and came into the city and found as he had said unto them, and they made ready the passover.
17 And in the evening he went with the twelve.
18 And when they sat at the table and ate, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you who eats with me shall betray me.
19 And they began to be sorrowful and to say unto him one by one, shall it be I? and another said, shall it be I?
20 And he, answering, said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dips with me in the dish.
21 The Son of man indeed goes, as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born.
To the Overcomer, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.
1 ¶ Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy mercy; according unto the multitude of thy compassion eradicate my rebellion.
2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I acknowledge my rebellion; and my sin is ever before me.
4 Against thee, against thee only, have I sinned and done this evil in thy sight that thou be declared just in thy word and pure in thy judgment.
5 Behold, the pain of my iniquity has caused me to writhe; my mother conceived me so that sin might be removed from me.
6 Behold, thou dost desire truth in the inward parts, and in the secret things thou hast made me to know wisdom.
7 ¶ Remove the sin in me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Make me to hear joy and gladness that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
9 Hide thy face from my sins and eradicate all my iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
11 Cast me not away from thy presence and take not thy Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore unto me the joy of thy saving health, and thy spirit of liberty shall uphold me.
13 Then I will teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
14 ¶ Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation, and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
15 O Lord, open my lips; and my mouth shall show forth thy praise.
16 For thou dost not desire sacrifice or else would I give it; thou dost not delight in burnt offering.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion; build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Then thou shalt be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, the burnt offering, the offering that has been totally consumed by the fire; then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
31 ¶ The mouth of the just shall bring forth wisdom, but the perverse tongue shall be cut out.
32 The lips of the righteous shall know the will of God, but the mouth of the wicked speaks perversion.
