14 Then all the Congregation lifted up their voice and cried. And the people wept that night.
2 And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron. And the whole assembly said to them, “If only we had died in the land of Egypt, or in this wilderness. If only we were dead.
3 “Why has the LORD brought us into this land to fall upon the sword now? Our wives and our children shall be a prey. Would it not be better for us to return into Egypt?”
4 And they said to one another, “Let us make a captain and return into Egypt.”
5 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the Congregation of the children of Israel.
6 And Joshua, the son of Nun, and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh (two of them who searched the land), tore their clothes
7 and spoke to all the assembly of the children of Israel, saying, “The land through which we walked to search is a very good land!
8 “If the LORD loves us, He will bring us into this land and give it to us. It is a land that flows with milk and honey!
9 “But do not rebel against the LORD or fear the people of the land. For they are as bread to us! Their shield has departed from them; and the LORD is with us! Do not fear them!”
10 And all the multitude said, “Stone them with stones!” But the Glory of the LORD appeared in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, before all the children of Israel.
11 And the LORD said to Moses, “How long will this people provoke Me? And how long will it be before they believe Me, with all the signs which I have shown among them?
12 “I will strike them with the pestilence and destroy them and will make you a greater and mightier nation than they.”
13 But Moses said to the LORD, “When the Egyptians shall hear it (for You brought this people by Your power from among them),
14 “then they shall say to the inhabitants of the land (for they have heard that You, LORD, are among this people, and that You, LORD, are seen face to face, and that Your cloud stands over them, and that You go before them, by daytime in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night)
15 “that You will kill this people as one man. So, the heathen which have heard the fame of You, shall then say,
16 ‘Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which He swore to them, therefore He has killed them in the wilderness.’
17 “And now, I beg you, let the power of my LORD be great, as You have spoken, saying,
18 ‘The LORD is slow to anger and of great mercy and forgiving iniquity and sin, but not making the wicked innocent and visiting the wickedness of the fathers upon the children in the third and fourth generation.’
19 “Be merciful, I beg You, to the iniquity of this people, according to Your great mercy and as You have forgiven this people from Egypt even until now.”
20 And the LORD said, “I have forgiven it, according to your request.
21 “Nevertheless, as I live, all the Earth shall be filled with the Glory of the LORD.
22 “For all those men who have seen My Glory and My miracles which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness and have tempted Me these ten times and have not obeyed My Voice,
23 “certainly they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers. Nor shall any who provoke Me see it.
24 “But My servant, Caleb, because he had another spirit and has followed Me still, him will I bring into the land where he went. And his seed shall inherit it.
25 “Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites remain in the valley. Turn tomorrow and go into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.”
26 Afterward, the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
27 “How long shall I allow this wicked multitude to murmur against Me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against Me.
28 “Tell them, ‘As I live (says the LORD) I will surely do to you just as you have spoken in My Ears.
29 ‘Your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness, all you who were counted through all your numbers—from twenty years old and above—who have murmured against Me.
30 ‘Except for Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, the son of Nun, you shall doubtless not come into the land for which I lifted up My Hand to make you dwell in.
31 ‘But your children, which you said should be a prey, them I will bring in. And they shall know the land which you have refused.
32 ‘But even your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness.
33 ‘And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years and shall bear your whoredoms until your carcasses are wasted in the wilderness.
34 ‘After the number of the days in which you searched out the land—forty days—for every day you shall bear your iniquity one year. For forty years you shall feel My breach of promise.
35 ‘I the LORD have said, “Certainly I will do so to all this wicked company who are gathered together against Me. In this wilderness they shall be consumed. And there they shall die.
36 “And the men whom Moses had sent to search the land (who, when they came back, made all the people murmur against him, and brought up a slander upon the land),
37 “even those men who brought up that vile slander upon the land, shall die by a plague before the LORD.
38 “But Joshua, the son of Nun, and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, of those men who went to search the land, shall live.”’”
39 Then Moses told these sayings to all the children of Israel. And the people sorrowed greatly.
40 And they rose up early in the morning and went up into the top of the mountain, saying, “Lo, we are ready to go up to the place which the LORD has promised. For we have sinned.”
41 But Moses said, “Why do you transgress the Commandment of the LORD? It will not go well.
42 “Do not go up, (for the LORD is not among you) lest you be overthrown before your enemies.
43 “For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you. And you shall fall by the sword. For inasmuch as you are turned away from the LORD, the LORD will also not be with you.”
44 Yet they obstinately presumed to go up to the top of the mountain. But the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD, and Moses, did not depart out of the camp.
45 Then the Amalekites and the Canaanites who dwelt in that mountain came down and struck them and beat them back to Hormah.
15 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘When you have come into the land of your habitations, which I give to you,
3 ‘and make an offering by fire to the LORD—a Burnt Offering or a sacrifice to fulfill a vow or a Free Offering or in your Feasts—to make a sweet savor to the LORD—from the herd or from the flock,
4 ‘then let him who offers his offering to the LORD bring a Meat Offering of one tenth of an ephah of fine flour, mingled with one fourth of a hin of oil.
5 ‘Also, you shall prepare one fourth of a hin of wine, to be poured on a lamb for the Burnt Offering or any offering.
6 And for a ram, you shall prepare for a Meat Offering two tenths of an ephah of fine flour, mingled with one third of a hin of oil.
7 ‘And for a Drink Offering, you shall offer one third of a hin of wine, for a sweet savor to the LORD.
8 ‘And when you prepare a bullock for a Burnt Offering, or for a sacrifice to fulfill a vow or a Peace Offering to the LORD,
9 ‘then let him offer with the bullock a Meat Offering of three tenths of an ephah of fine flour, mingled with half a hin of oil.
10 ‘And you shall bring for a Drink Offering half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire of a sweet savor to the LORD.
11 ‘Thus shall it be done for a bullock or for a ram or for a lamb or for a kid.
12 ‘According to the number that you prepare, so shall you do to everyone, according to their number.
13 ‘All who are born in the country shall do these things in this way, to offer an offering made by fire of sweet savor to the LORD.
14 ‘And if a stranger sojourns with you (or whoever is among you in your generations) and will make an Offering by fire of a sweet savor to the LORD, as you do, so he shall do.
15 ‘One Ordinance shall be both for you of the Congregation and also for the stranger who dwells with you, an Ordinance forever in your generations. As you are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD.
16 ‘One Law and one manner shall serve both for you and for the stranger who sojourns with you.’”
53 So they led Jesus away to the High Priest. And all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes came together to Him.
54 And Peter followed Him at a distance, even into the hall of the High Priest, and sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.
55 And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put Him to death but found none.
56 For many bore false witness against Him. But their testimonies did not agree.
57 Then some of them arose and bore false witness against Him, saying,
58 “We heard Him say, ‘I will destroy this Temple made with hands. And within three days I will build another, made without hands.’”
59 But their testimonies did not agree.
60 Then the High Priest stood up amongst them and asked Jesus, saying, “Answer You nothing? Why should these bear witness against You?”
61 But He kept silent and answered nothing. Again, the High Priest asked Him and said to Him, “Are you the Christ; the Son of the Blessed?”
62 And Jesus said, “I am He. And you shall see the Son of Man sit at the right hand of power, coming in the clouds of Heaven.”
63 Then the High Priest tore his clothes, and said, “What have we anymore need of witnesses?!
64 You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think!?” And they all condemned Him to be worthy of death.
65 And some began to spit at Him, and to cover His face, and to beat Him with fists, and to say to Him, “Prophesy!” And the sergeants slapped Him.
66 And as Peter was beneath in the hall, one of the maids of the High Priest came.
67 And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said, “You were also with Jesus of Nazareth.”
68 But he denied it, saying, “I do not know Him. Nor do I understand what you say.” Then he went out onto the porch. And the cock crew.
69 Then another maid saw him and began to say to those who stood by, “This is one of them.”
70 But he denied it again. And soon after, those who stood by said to Peter again, “Surely you are one of them! For you are of Galilee! And your speech is similar!”
71 And he began to curse, and swear, saying, “I do not know this Man of Whom you speak!”
72 Then the cock crew the second time. And Peter remembered the Word that Jesus had said to him, ‘Before the cock crows twice, you shall deny Me three times.’ And feeling the weight of that, he wept.
53 The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They have corrupted and done abominable wickedness. There is no one that does good.
2 God looked down from Heaven upon the children of men to see if there were any who would understand and seek God.
3 Everyone has gone back. They are altogether corrupt. There is no one who does good; no, not one.
4 Do not the workers of iniquity know that they eat up my people as they eat bread? They do not call upon God.
5 There they were in fear where no fear was. For God has scattered the bones of him who besieged you. You have put them to confusion because God has cast them off.
6 Oh, give salvation to Israel out of Zion! When God turns the captivity of His people, Jacob shall rejoice; and Israel shall be glad. To him who excels on Neginoth: A Psalm of David, to give instruction, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, “Is not David hidden among us?”
4 Riches do not avail on the Day of Wrath. But righteousness delivers from death.
