10 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Make two trumpets of silver for yourself. You shall make them out of hammered work, so that you may use them for the assembling of the Congregation and for the departure of the camp.
3 “And when they shall blow with them, all the Congregation shall assemble to you, before the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
4 “But if they blow with one, then the Princes or heads over the thousands of Israel shall come to you.
5 “But if you blow an alarm, then the camp that is pitched on the east part shall go forward.
6 “If you blow a second alarm, then the camp of those who lie on the south side shall march. They shall blow an alarm when they leave.
7 “But in the assembling the Congregation, you shall blow without an alarm.
8 “And the sons of Aaron the Priest shall blow the trumpets. And you shall have them as a Law forever in your generations.
9 “And when you go to war in your land, against the enemy that troubles you, you shall blow an alarm with the trumpets, and you shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and shall be saved from your enemies
10 “(also, on the day of your gladness and on your Feast days, and on the beginning of your months). You shall also blow the trumpets over your Burnt Sacrifices and over your Peace Offerings, so that they may be a remembrance for you before your God. I am the LORD your God.”
11 And in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth of the month, the cloud was taken up from the Tabernacle of the Testimony.
12 And the children of Israel departed on their journeys, out of the desert of Sinai. And the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran.
13 So they first took their journey at the Commandment of the LORD, by the hand of Moses.
14 In the first place went the standard of the camp of the children of Judah, according to their armies. And Nahshon, the son of Amminadab, was over his band.
15 And over the band of the tribe of the children of Issachar was Nethanel, the son of Zuar.
16 And over the band of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab, the son of Helon.
17 When the Tabernacle was taken down, then the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari went forward, bearing the Tabernacle.
18 Afterward, the standard of the host of Reuben departed, according to their armies. And over his band was Elizur, the son of Shedeur.
19 And over the band of the tribe of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel, the son of Zurishaddai.
20 And over the band of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph, the son of Deuel.
21 The Kohathites also went forward and bore the Sanctuary (for which the Tabernacle had been set up).
22 Then the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim went forward, according to their armies. And over his band was Elishama, the son of Ammihud.
23 And over the band of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh was Gamaliel, the son of Pedahzur.
24 And over the band of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin was Abidan, the son of Gideoni.
25 Last, the standard of the camp of the children of Dan marched, gathering all the camps according to their armies. And over his band was Ahiezer, the son of Ammishaddai.
26 And over the band of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel, the son of Ocran.
27 And over the band of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira, the son of Enan.
28 This was the setting out of the children of Israel, according to their armies, when they marched.
29 Afterward, Moses said to Hobab the son of Reuel the Midianite, the father-in-law of Moses, “We go into the place of which the LORD said, ‘I will give it to you.’ Come with us, and we will do you good. For the LORD has promised good to Israel.”
30 And he answered him, “I will not go. But I will depart to my own country, and to my kindred.”
31 Then he said, “Please do not leave us. For you know our camping places in the wilderness. Therefore, you may be our guide.
32 “And if you go with us, what goodness the LORD shall show to us, the same will we show to you.”
33 So they departed from the Mount of the LORD, three days’ journey. And the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD went before them on the three days’ journey, to search out a resting place for them.
34 And the cloud of the LORD was upon them by day, when they went out of the camp.
35 And when the Ark went forward, Moses said, “Rise up, LORD, and let Your enemies be scattered. And let those who hate You, flee before You.”
36 And when it rested, he said, “Return, O LORD, to the many thousands of Israel.”
11 When the people became murmurers, it displeased the LORD. And the LORD heard it; therefore, His wrath was kindled. And the fire of the LORD burnt among them and consumed the outermost part of the camp.
2 Then the people cried to Moses. And when Moses prayed to 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 a number of people who were among them fell into lust and turned away. And the children of Israel also wept, and said, “Who shall give us meat to eat?
5 “We remember the fish we ate freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic.
6 “But now our soul is dried away. We can see nothing but this Manna.”
7 Now, the Manna was like coriander seed and its color like the color of bdellium.
8 The people went about and gathered and ground it in mills or beat it in mortars and baked it in a cauldron and made cakes from it. And the taste of it was like the taste of fresh oil.
9 And when the dew fell down upon the camp at night, the Manna fell with it.
10 Then Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent. And the wrath of the LORD was greatly kindled. Moses was also grieved.
11 And Moses said to the LORD, “Why have You afflicted Your servant? And why have I not found favor in Your sight, seeing You have put me in charge of all these people?
12 “Have I conceived all these people? Or have I begotten them, that You should say to me, ‘Carry them in your bosom, as a nurse bears the sucking child, to the land which You swore to their fathers?’
13 “Where should I get meat to give to all these people? For they weep to me, saying, ‘Give us meat so that we may eat.’
14 “I am not able to bear all these people alone, for it is too heavy for me.
15 “Therefore, if You deal this way with me, please kill me (if I have found favor in Your sight) so that I do not see my misery.”
16 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Gather to Me seventy men from the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and governors over them. And bring them to the Tabernacle of the Congregation. And let them stand there with you.
17 “And I will come down and talk with you there and take from the Spirit Which is upon you and put it upon them. And they shall bear the burden of the people with you, so you shall not bear it alone.
18 “Furthermore, you shall say to the people, ‘Be sanctified for tomorrow, and you shall eat meat. For you have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, “Who shall give us meat to eat? For we were better in Egypt.” Therefore, the LORD will give you meat, and you shall eat.
19 ‘You shall eat not for one day, nor two days, nor five days, nor ten days, nor twenty days,
20 ‘but for a whole month, until it comes out of your nostrils and is loathsome to you, because you have despised the LORD, Who is among you, and have wept before Him, saying, “Why did we ever come up out of Egypt?”’”
21 And Moses said, “Among my people there are six-hundred thousand foot soldiers; and You say, ‘I will give them meat, so that they may eat for a month.’
22 “Shall the sheep and the cattle be slaughtered for them to suffice them? Or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them to suffice them?”
23 And the LORD said to Moses, “Is the LORD’s hand shortened? You shall see now whether My Word shall happen to you or not.”
14 And two days before the Feast of the Passover, and of Unleavened Bread, the chief priests and scribes sought how they might take Jesus secretly, and put Him to death.
2 “But,” they said, “Not on the feast day, or else there may be unrest among the people.”
3 And when He was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as He sat at table, there came a woman with a box of ointment (of spikenard, very costly). And she broke the box and poured it on His head.
4 Therefore some whispered angrily among themselves, and said, “To what end is this waste of ointment?
5 “For it might have been sold for more than three hundred denari, and the money given to the poor.” And they murmured against her.
6 But Jesus said, “Let her alone. Why do you trouble yourselves with her? She has done a good work for Me.
7 “For you have the poor with you always. And when you will you may do them good. But Me you shall not have always.
8 “She has done what she could. She came beforehand to anoint My body for the burying.
9 “Truly I say to you, wherever this Gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she has done, shall be spoken of in remembrance of her.”
10 Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, to betray Him to them.
11 And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised that they would give him money. Therefore, he sought how he might conveniently betray Him.
12 Now the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrificed the Passover, His disciples said to Him, “Where will You have us go and prepare, that You may eat the Passover?”
13 Then He sent forth two of His disciples, and said to them, “Go into the city, and there a man shall meet you bearing a pitcher of water. Follow him.
14 “And wherever he goes in, say to the good man of the house, ‘The Master says, “Where is the lodging where I shall eat the Passover with My disciples?”’
15 “And he will show you an upper chamber, which is large, trimmed and prepared. Make it ready for us there.”
16 So His disciples went forth, and came to the city, and found all as He had said to them, and made ready the Passover.
17 And in the evening, He came with the twelve.
18 And as they sat at table and ate, Jesus said, “Truly I say to you, that one of you who eats with Me shall betray Me.”
19 Then they began to be sorrowful and to say to Him one by one, “Is it I?” And another, “Is it I?”
20 And He answered and said to them, “It is one of the twelve who dips with Me in the platter.
21 “Truly the Son of Man goes His way, as it is written of Him. But woe be to that man, by whom the Son of Man is betrayed. It had been good for that man if he had never been born.”
51 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness. According to the multitude of Your compassions, put away my iniquities.
2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity; and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I know my iniquities; and my sin is ever before me.
4 Against You, against You only, have I sinned and done evil in Your sight; that You may be just when You speak and pure when You judge.
5 Behold, I was born in iniquity; and in sin my mother conceived me.
6 Behold, You love truth to the core. Therefore, You have taught me wisdom in my core.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean. Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Make me hear joy and gladness; so that the bones which You have broken may rejoice.
9 Hide Your Face from my sins; and put away all my iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
11 Do not cast me away from Your presence; and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation; and establish me with Your free Spirit.
13 Then I shall teach Your ways to the wicked; and sinners shall be converted to You.
14 Deliver me from blood, O God, the God of my salvation; and my tongue shall sing joyfully of Your righteousness.
15 Open my lips, O LORD, and my mouth shall show forth Your praise.
16 For You desire no sacrifice, though I would give it. You do not delight in burnt offering.
17 The sacrifices of God are a contrite spirit. A contrite and a broken heart, O God, You will not despise.
18 Be favorable to Zion for Your good pleasure. Build the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Then shall You accept the sacrifices of righteousness, the burnt offering and oblation. Then shall they offer calves upon Your altar. To him who excels: A Psalm of David to give instruction, when Doeg the Edomite came and showed Saul and said to him, “David has come to the house of Ahimelech.”
31 The mouth of the just shall be fruitful in wisdom. But the tongue of the crooked shall be cut out.
32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable. But the mouth of the wicked speaks perverse things.
