52 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
53 Unto these the land shall be divided for an inheritance according to the number of names.
54 To those that are many thou shalt give more inheritance, and to those that are few thou shalt give less inheritance; to each one shall his inheritance be given according to those that were numbered of him.
55 Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot; according to the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit.
56 According to the lot shall the inheritance be divided between those that are many and those that are few.
57 ¶ And these are those that were numbered of the Levites by their families: of Gershon, the family of the Gershonites; of Kohath, the family of the Kohathites; of Merari, the family of the Merarites.
58 These are the families of the Levites: the family of the Libnites, the family of the Hebronites, the family of the Mahlites, the family of the Mushites, the family of the Korathites. And Kohath begat Amram.
59 And the name of Amram’s wife was Jochebed, daughter of Levi, whom her mother bore to Levi in Egypt: and she bore unto Amram Aaron and Moses and Miriam, their sister.
60 And unto Aaron was born Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
61 And Nadab and Abihu died when they offered strange fire before the LORD.
62 And those that were numbered of them were twenty-three thousand, all males from a month old and upward; for they were not numbered among the sons of Israel because no inheritance was to be given them among the sons of Israel.
63 ¶ These are those that were numbered by Moses and Eleazar, the priest, who numbered the sons of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan of Jericho.
64 And among these there was not a man of those whom Moses and Aaron the priest had numbered when they numbered the sons of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.
65 For the LORD had said of them, They shall surely die in the wilderness. And there was not left a man of them, except Caleb, the son of Jephunneh and Joshua, the son of Nun.
27 ¶ Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh, the son of Joseph; and these are the names of his daughters; Mahlah, Noah and Hoglah and Milcah and Tirzah.
2 And they stood before Moses and before Eleazar, the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, by the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, saying,
3 Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of those that gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah, but died in his own sin, and had no sons.
4 Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family because he has no son? Give unto us therefore a possession among the brethren of our father.
5 And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.
6 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right; thou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father’s brethren, and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.
8 And thou shalt speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, If a man dies and has no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter.
9 And if he has no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren.
10 And if he has no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his father’s brethren.
11 And if his father has no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his lineage, and he shall inherit it; and it shall be unto the sons of Israel a law of rights, as the LORD commanded Moses.
12 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Climb up this Mount Abarim, and thou shalt see the land which I have given unto the sons of Israel.
13 And after thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy peoples, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.
14 For ye were rebels to my word in the desert of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me in the waters before their eyes. These are the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.
15 ¶ Then Moses spoke unto the LORD, saying,
16 Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation,
17 who may go out before them, and who may go in before them, and who may lead them out and who may bring them in that the congregation of the LORD not be as sheep without a shepherd.
18 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take Joshua, the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay thine hand upon him
19 and set him before Eleazar, the priest, and before all the congregation and give him a charge in their presence.
20 And thou shalt put some of thy splendour upon him that all the congregation of the sons of Israel may hear him.
21 And he shall stand before Eleazar, the priest, whom he shall consult in the judgment of the Urim before the LORD; at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he and all the sons of Israel with him, even all the congregation.
22 And Moses did as the LORD commanded him, and he took Joshua and set him before Eleazar, the priest, and before all the congregation,
23 and he laid his hands upon him and gave him a charge, as the LORD had commanded by the hand of Moses.
28 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 Command the sons of Israel and say unto them, My offering, my bread with my offerings on fire, for an acceptable savour unto me, shall ye observe to offer unto me in their due season.
3 And thou shalt say unto them, This is the offering on fire which ye shall offer unto the LORD; two lambs of the first year without spot each day, for a continual burnt offering.
4 The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer between the two evenings,
5 and a tenth part of an ephah of flour, mingled with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil as a present.
6 It is a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in Mount Sinai for an acceptable savour, an offering on fire unto the LORD.
7 And the drink offering thereof shall be the fourth part of a hin with each lamb; thou shalt pour out the drink offering of superior wine unto the LORD in the sanctuary.
8 And the other lamb shalt thou offer between the two evenings; according to the offering of the morning and according to the drink offering thereof, thou shalt offer it, an offering on fire, of an acceptable savour unto the LORD.
9 ¶ But on the sabbath day two lambs of the first year without spot and two tenth deals of flour mingled with oil, for a present, with the drink offering thereof:
10 This is the burnt offering of the sabbath, besides the continual burnt offering and its drink offering.
11 And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the LORD: two young bullocks, and one ram, seven lambs of the first year without spot;
12 and three tenth deals of flour mingled with oil, as a present with each bullock; and two tenth deals of flour mingled with oil, as a present with each ram;
13 and a tenth deal of flour mingled with oil in offering as a present with each lamb; a burnt offering of an acceptable savour, a sacrifice on fire unto the LORD.
14 And their drink offerings shall be half a hin of wine with each bullock and the third part of a hin with each ram and a fourth part of a hin with each lamb. This shall be the burnt offering of each month throughout all the months of the year.
15 And one he goat as the sin shall be offered unto the LORD, besides the continual burnt offering and its drink offering.
3 ¶ Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,
2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came upon John the son of Zachariah in the wilderness.
3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
4 as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord; make his paths straight.
5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low, and the crooked ways shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;
6 and all flesh shall see the saving health of God.
7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who taught you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father; for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
9 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees; every tree therefore which does not bring forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire.
10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
11 He answered and said unto them, He that has two coats, let him impart to him that has none; and he that has food, let him do likewise.
12 Then the publicans also came to be baptized and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
13 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
14 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Oppress no one, neither accuse anyone falsely; and be content with your wages.
15 ¶ And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not,
16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you in water, but one mightier than I comes, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose; he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and fire;
17 whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his threshing floor and will gather the wheat into his storehouse, but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
18 And exhorting many other things he announced the gospel unto the people.
19 Then Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip’s wife and for all the evils which Herod had done,
20 added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 ¶ Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass that, Jesus also being baptized and praying, the heaven was opened,
22 and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee is my delight.
To the Overcomer upon Neginah, A Psalm of David.
1 ¶ Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
2 From the end of the earth I will cry unto thee when my heart is overwhelmed; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3 For thou hast been a shelter for me and a strong tower from the enemy.
4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever; I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.
5 ¶ For thou, O God, hast heard my vows; thou hast given an inheritance to those that fear thy name.
6 Thou wilt add days upon days unto the king’s life; his years shall be from generation to generation.
7 He shall abide before God for ever; He is aware of mercy and truth which preserve him.
8 So I will sing thy name for ever, performing my vows each day.
16 ¶ The gracious woman retains honour, and strong men retain riches.
17 ¶ The merciful man does good to his own soul, but the cruel man troubles his own flesh.
