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.
4 And Jesus, full of the Holy Ghost, returned from Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
2 and was tempted forty days by the devil. And in those days, He ate nothing. But after they had ended, He was hungry.
3 Then the devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command this stone, that it be made bread.”
4 But Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread only, but by every Word of God.’”
5 Then the devil took Him up into a high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, in the twinkling of an eye.
6 And the devil said to Him, “All this power, and the glory of those kingdoms, will I give You. For that is delivered to me. And to whomever I will, I give it.
7 “Therefore, if You will worship me, they shall be all Yours.”
8 But Jesus answered him, and said, “Get behind me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him alone You shall serve.’”
9 Then he brought Him to Jerusalem, and set Him on a pinnacle of the Temple, and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, cast Yourself down from here.
10 “For it is written, “He will give His angels charge over you, to keep you.
11 “And with their hands they shall lift you up, lest at any time you should dash your foot against a stone.”
12 And Jesus answered, and said to him, “It is said, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’”
13 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from Him for a little season.
14 And Jesus returned (by the power of the Spirit) into Galilee. And word spread of Him throughout all the surrounding region.
15 For He taught in their synagogues and was honored by all.
16 And He came to Nazareth, where He had been raised. And as was His custom, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.
17 And the book of the Prophet Isaiah was given to Him. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written,
18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me, that I should preach the Gospel to the poor. He has sent Me, that I should heal the brokenhearted, that I should preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind; that I should set at liberty those who are bruised,
19 and that I should preach the acceptable year of the Lord.”
20 And He closed the book, and returned it to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fastened on Him.
21 Then He began to say to them, “This day is the Scripture fulfilled in your ears.”
22 And all bore Him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth, and said, “Is not this Joseph’s son?”
23 Then He said to them, “You will surely say to me this proverb, ‘Physician, heal Yourself. Whatever we have heard was done in Capernaum, do it here also in Your own country.’”
24 And He said, “Truly I say to you, no Prophet is accepted in his own country.
25 “But I tell you the truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when Heaven was shut three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land.
26 “But to none of them was Elijah sent, except to a certain widow in Zarephath, of Sidon.
27 “Also, many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the Prophet. Yet none of them was made clean, except Naaman the Syrian.”
28 When all those in the synagogue heard that, they were filled with wrath,
29 and rose up, and thrust Him out of the city, and led him to the edge of the hill whereupon their city was built, to cast Him over.
30 But He passed through the midst of them, and went His way,
63 O God, You are my God. I will seek You early. My soul thirsts for You. My flesh longs greatly after You in a barren and dry land, without water.
2 Thus, when I behold Your power and Your Glory, I behold You as in the Sanctuary.
3 For Your lovingkindness is better than life. My lips shall praise You.
4 Thus will I magnify You all my life and lift up my hands in Your Name.
5 My soul shall be satisfied, as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips,
6 When I remember You on my bed, I think upon You in the night watches.
7 Therefore, because You have been my helper, I will rejoice under the shadow of Your wings.
8 My soul clings to You. Your right hand upholds me.
9 Therefore, those who seek my soul to destroy it, they shall go into the lowest parts of the Earth.
10 They shall cast him down with the edge of the sword. They shall be a portion for foxes.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God. All who swear by Him shall rejoice. For the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped. To him who excels: A Psalm of David
20 Those who are of a perverse heart, are abomination to the LORD. But those who are upright in their way, are His delight.
21 Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished. But the seed of the righteous shall escape.
