4 And the LORD spoke to Moses, and to Aaron, saying,
2 “Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after their families and Houses of their fathers,
3 “from thirty years old and above, even up to fifty years old, all that enter into the assembly to do the work in the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
4 “This shall be the office of the sons of Kohath in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, the holiest of all:
5 “When the camp pulls up stakes, then Aaron and his sons shall come and take down the covering Veil and shall cover the Ark of the Testimony with it.
6 “And they shall put a covering of badger’s skins on it, and shall spread a cloth upon it, altogether of blue silk. And they shall insert the poles.
7 “And they shall spread a cloth of blue silk upon the Table of Show Bread, and put the dishes on it, and the cups and goblets, and coverings to cover it. And the Bread shall be on it continually.
8 “And they shall spread a covering of scarlet upon them and cover the same with a covering of badger’s skins. And they shall insert the poles.
9 “Then they shall take a cloth of blue silk and cover the Candlestick of Light with its lamps, its snuffers, its snuffdishes, and all its oil vessels with which they service it.
10 “So they shall put it, and all its instruments, in a covering of badger’s skins, and put it upon poles.
11 “Also, they shall spread a cloth of blue silk upon the golden Altar and cover it with a covering of badger’s skins and insert its poles.
12 “And they shall take all the instruments of the ministry, with which they minister in the Sanctuary, and put them in a cloth of blue silk and cover them with a covering of badger’s skins and insert their poles.
13 “Also, they shall take away the ashes from the Altar and spread a purple cloth upon it.
14 “And they shall put upon it all its instruments with which they minister there: the censers, the fleshhooks, the brooms, and the basins, all the instruments of the altar. And they shall spread upon it a covering of badger’s skins and insert its poles.
15 “And when Aaron and his sons have finished covering the Sanctuary, and all the instruments of the Sanctuary, when the camp is ready to move, then the sons of Kohath shall come to carry them. But they shall not touch any Holy thing, lest they die. This is the charge of the sons of Kohath in the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
16 “And to the office of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the Priest: the oil for the light and the sweet incense and the daily Meat Offering and the anointing oil and the oversight of all the Tabernacle and of all that is inside (both in the Sanctuary and in all its instruments).”
17 And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
18 “You shall not cut off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites.
19 “But do this to them so that they may live and not die when they come near to the Most Holy things. Let Aaron and his sons come and appoint them, everyone to his office and to his charge.
20 “But do not let them go in to see when the Sanctuary is covered up, lest they die.”
21 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
22 “Also, take the sum of the sons of Gershon, every one by the Houses of their fathers, throughout their families.
23 “From thirty years old and above to fifty years old you shall number them, all that enter into the assembly to do service in the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
24 “This shall be the service of the families of the Gershonites: to serve and to carry.
25 “They shall carry the curtains of the Tabernacle, the Tabernacle of the Congregation, its covering and the covering of badger’s skins that is on high upon it, the veil of the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation,
26 “also the curtains of the court, the veil of the door of the gate of the court which is near the Tabernacle and near the Altar, all round, with their cords, and all the instruments for their service, and all that is made for them. So shall they serve.
27 “All the service of the sons of the Gershonites shall be done at the commandment of Aaron and his sons, in all their charges and in all their service. And you shall appoint them to keep all their charges.
28 “This is the service of the families of the sons of the Gershonites in the Tabernacle of the Congregation. And their watch shall be under the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the Priest.
29 “You shall number the sons of Merari by their families, by the Houses of their fathers.
30 “From thirty years old and above, up to fifty years old, you shall number them, all that enter into the assembly to do the service of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
31 “And this is their office and charge, according to all their service in the Tabernacle of the Congregation: the boards of the Tabernacle, with its poles, its pillars and its sockets,
32 “and the pillars all around the court, with their sockets and their pins, and their cords with all their instruments, for all their service. And by name you shall assign the instruments of their office and charge.
33 “This is the service of the families of the sons of Merari, according to all their service in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, under the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the Priest.”
34 Then Moses and Aaron and the princes of the Congregation numbered the sons of the Kohathites, by their families and by the Houses of their fathers,
35 from thirty years old and above up to fifty years old, all that enter into the assembly for the service of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
36 So the numbers of them throughout their families was two thousand seven hundred fifty.
37 These are the numbers of the families of the Kohathites, all that serve in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, which Moses and Aaron numbered according to the Commandment of the LORD, by the hand of Moses.
38 Also, the numbers of the sons of Gershon throughout their families and Houses of their fathers—
39 from thirty years old and upward, even up to fifty years old, all that enter into the assembly for the service of the Tabernacle of the Congregation—
40 the number of them, by their families, by the Houses of their fathers, was two thousand six hundred thirty.
41 These are the numbers of the families of the sons of Gershon, of all who did service in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the Commandment of the LORD.
42 These are the numbers of the families of the sons of Merari, by their families, by the Houses of their fathers,
43 from thirty years old and upward, up to fifty years old, all who entered into the assembly for the service of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
44 So, the number of them, by their families, was three thousand two hundred.
45 These are the sums of the families of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the Commandment of the LORD, by the hand of Moses,
46 all the numbers of the Levites, which Moses and Aaron and the princes of Israel numbered by their families and by the Houses of their fathers,
47 from thirty years old and upward, even to fifty years old, every one that came to do his duty, office, service and charge in the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
48 So, the number of them was eight thousand five hundred eighty.
49 According to the Commandment of the LORD, by the hand of Moses they were numbered, everyone according to his service and according to his charge. Thus, they of that tribe were numbered, as the LORD Commanded Moses.
5 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Command the children of Israel that they put every leper out of the camp, and everyone who has a discharge, and whoever is defiled by the dead.
3 “You shall put out both male and female. You shall put them out of the camp, so that they do not defile their tents, among whom I dwell.”
4 And the children of Israel did so and put them out of the camp. As the LORD had Commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.
5 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
6 “Speak to the children of Israel. When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit— and transgress against the LORD — when that person shall trespass,
7 “then they shall confess their sin which they have done and shall restore the damage with principal plus a fifth part more. And he shall give it to him against whom he has trespassed.
8 “But if the man has no kinsman to whom he should restore the damage, the damage shall be restored to the LORD for the Priest’s use (in addition to the Ram of the Atonement) by which he shall make atonement for him.
9 “And every offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they bring to the Priest, shall be his.
10 “And every man’s hallowed things shall be his. Whatever any man gives the Priest, it shall be his.”
11 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
12 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘If any man’s wife turns to evil and commits a trespass against him,
13 ‘so that another man lies with her, fleshly. And it is hidden from the eyes of her husband and concealed that she is defiled. And there is no witness against her, nor is she caught in the act.
14 ‘If he is moved with a jealous mind, so that he is jealous over his wife who is defiled. Or if he has a jealous mind, so that he is jealous over his wife who is not defiled,
15 ‘then the man shall bring his wife to the Priest and bring her offering with her (one tenth of an ephah of barley meal). He shall not pour oil upon it, nor put incense on it. For it is an offering of jealousy, an offering for a remembrance, calling the sin to mind.
16 ‘And the Priest shall bring her and set her before the LORD.
17 ‘Then the Priest shall take the holy water in an earthen vessel and the dust that is in the floor of the Tabernacle. The Priest shall take it and put it into the water.
18 ‘Afterward, the Priest shall set the woman before the LORD and uncover the woman’s head and put the offering of the memorial in her hands. It is the Jealousy Offering. And the Priest shall have bitter, cursed water in his hand.
19 ‘And the Priest shall charge her by an oath, and say to the woman, “If no man has lain with you, and you have not turned to uncleanness from your husband, be free from this bitter, cursed water.
20 “But if you have turned from your husband, and so are defiled, and some man has lain with you besides your husband…”
21 ‘Then the Priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing. And the Priest shall say to the woman, “The LORD make you accursed and detestable for the oath among the people. And the LORD cause your thigh to rot and your belly to swell,
22 “and cause this cursed water to go into your bowels, to cause your belly to swell, and your thigh to rot.” Then the woman shall answer, “Amen, Amen.”
23 ‘Afterward, the Priest shall write these curses in a book, and shall blot them out with the bitter water,
24 ‘and shall cause the woman to drink the bitter and cursed water. And the cursed water turned into bitterness shall enter into her.
25 ‘Then the Priest shall take the Jealousy Offering out of the woman’s hand, and shall shake the offering before the LORD, and offer it upon the Altar.
26 ‘And the Priest shall take from the offering, for a memorial thereof, and burn it upon the Altar, and afterward make the woman drink the water.
27 ‘When he has made her drink the water, if she is defiled and has trespassed against her husband, then shall the cursed water, turned into bitterness, enter into her. And her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot, and the woman shall be accursed among her people.
28 ‘But if the woman is not defiled, but is clean, she shall be free, and shall conceive and bear.
29 ‘This is the Law of Jealousy, when a wife turns from her husband and is defiled.
30 ‘Or, when a man is moved with a jealous mind, being jealous over his wife, then he shall bring the woman before the LORD. And the Priest shall do to her according to all this Law,
31 ‘And the man shall be free from sin. But this woman shall bear her iniquity.’”
18 Then the Sadducees came to Him (who say there is no resurrection). And they asked Him, saying,
19 “Master, Moses wrote to us, ‘If any man’s brother dies and leaves his wife, and leaves no children, his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.’
20 “There were seven brothers, and the first took a wife. And when he died, he left no heir.
21 “Then the second took her and died, leaving no heir, and the third likewise.
22 “So these seven had her and left no heir. Last of all the wife died also.
23 “In the resurrection then, when they shall rise again, whose wife shall she be? For seven had her as their wife.”
24 Then Jesus answered, and said to them, “Are you not therefore deceived, because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?
25 “For when they shall rise again from the dead, neither men nor wives marry, but are as the angels which are in Heaven.
26 “And as for the dead, they shall rise again. Have you not read in the book of Moses how, in the bush, God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?’
27 “God is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living. You are therefore greatly deceived.”
28 Then came one of the scribes who had heard them disputing together. And perceiving that he had answered them well, he asked him, “Which is the first Commandment of all?
29 Jesus answered him, “The first of all the Commandments is, ‘Hear, Israel, The Lord our God is the only Lord.
30 “‘You shall therefore love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first Commandment.
31 “And the second is similar; that is, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other Commandment greater than these.”
32 Then that scribe said to Him, “Well, Master, you have said the truth; that there is one God, and that there is none but He,
33 “And to love Him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
34 Then when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, He said to him, “You are not far from the Kingdom of God.” And no one dared to ask Him any question after that.
35 And Jesus answered and said (teaching in the Temple), “How can the scribes say that Christ is the Son of David?
36 “For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, ‘Sit at My right hand, till I make your enemies your footstool.
37 “Then David himself called him Lord. By what means is He then his son?” And many people heard Him gladly.
48 Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised in the City of our God, upon His Holy Mountain.
2 Mount Zion (lying northward) is beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole Earth, the City of the Great King.
3 In the palaces thereof, God is known for a refuge.
4 For lo, the kings were gathered and went together.
5 When they saw it, they marveled. They were astonished and suddenly driven back.
6 Fear came upon them there, and sorrow, as upon a woman in childbirth,
7 as when You break the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the City of the LORD of Hosts, in the city of our God. God will establish it forever. Selah.
9 In the midst of Your Temple we wait for Your lovingkindness, O God.
10 O God, according to Your Name, so is Your praise to the world’s end. Your right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Let Mount Zion rejoice, and the daughters of Judah be glad, because of Your judgments!
12 March around Zion and encircle it. Count the towers thereof.
13 Mark well the wall thereof. Behold her towers, so that you may tell your posterity.
14 For this God is our God, forever and ever. He shall be our guide to the death. To him who excels: A Psalm committed to the sons of Korah.
26 As vinegar is to the teeth — and as smoke to the eyes — so is the slothful to those who send him.
