Numbers 9:1–10:36

1And the Lord spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sina in the second year after they had gone forth from the land of Egypt, in the first month, saying, 2Speak, and let the children of Israel keep the passover in its season. 3On the fourteenth day of the first month at even, thou shalt keep it in its season; thou shalt keep it according to its law, and according to its ordinance. 4And Moses ordered the children of Israel to sacrifice the passover, 5on the fourteenth day of the first month in the wilderness of Sina, as the Lord appointed Moses, so the children of Israel did. 6And there came men who were unclean by reason of a dead body, and they were not able to keep the passover on that day; and they came before Moses and Aaron on that day. 7And those men said to Moses, We are unclean by reason of the dead body of a man: shall we therefore fail to offer the gift to the Lord in its season in the midst of the children of Israel? 8And Moses said to them, Stand there, and I will hear what charge the Lord will give concerning you. 9And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 10Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Whatever man shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or on a journey far off, among you, or among your posterity; he shall then keep the passover to the Lord, 11in the second month, on the fourteenth day; in the evening they shall offer it, with unleavened bread and bitter herbs shall they eat it. 12They shall not leave of it until the morrow, and they shall not break a bone of it; they shall sacrifice it according to the ordinance of the passover. 13And whatsoever man shall be clean, and is not far off on a journey, and shall fail to keep the passover, that soul shall be cut off from his people, because he has not offered the gift to the Lord in its season: that man shall bear his iniquity. 14And if there should come to you a stranger in your land, and should keep the passover to the Lord, he shall keep it according to the law of the passover and according to its ordinance: there shall be one law for you, both for the stranger, and for the native of the land. 15And in the day in which the tabernacle was pitched the cloud covered the tabernacle, the place of the testimony; and in the evening there was upon the tabernacle as the appearance of fire till the morning. 16So it was continually: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night. 17And when the cloud went up from the tabernacle, then after that the children of Israel departed; and in whatever place the cloud rested, there the children of Israel encamped. 18The children of Israel shall encamp by the command of the Lord, and by the command of the Lord they shall remove: all the days in which the cloud overshadows the tabernacle, the children of Israel shall encamp. 19And whenever the cloud shall be drawn over the tabernacle for many days, then the children of Israel shall keep the charge of God, and they shall not remove. 20And it shall be, whenever the cloud overshadows the tabernacle a number of days, they shall encamp by the word of the Lord, and shall remove by the command of the Lord. 21And it shall come to pass, whenever the cloud shall remain from the evening till the morning, and in the morning the cloud shall go up, then shall they remove by day or by night. 22When the cloud continues a full month overshadowing the tabernacle, the children of Israel shall encamp, and shall not depart. 23For they shall depart by the command of the Lord:—they kept the charge of the Lord by the command of the Lord by the hand of Moses. Chapter 101And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2Make to thyself two silver trumpets: thou shalt make them of beaten work; and they shall be to thee for the purpose of calling the assembly, and of removing the camps. 3And thou shalt sound with them, and all the congregation shall be gathered to the door of the tabernacle of witness. 4And if they shall sound with one, all the rulers even the princes of Israel shall come to thee. 5And ye shall sound an alarm, and the camps pitched eastward shall begin to move. 6And ye shall sound a second alarm, and the camps pitched southward shall move; and ye shall sound a third alarm, and the camps pitched westward shall move forward; and ye shall sound a fourth alarm, and they that encamp toward the north shall move forward: they shall sound an alarm at their departure. 7And whenever ye shall gather the assembly, ye shall sound, but not an alarm. 8And the priests the sons of Aaron shall sound with the trumpets; and it shall be a perpetual ordinance for you throughout your generations. 9And if ye shall go forth to war in your land against your enemies that are opposed to you, then shall ye sound with the trumpets; and ye shall be had in remembrance before the Lord, and ye shall be saved from your enemies. 10And in the days of your gladness, and in your feasts, and in your new moons, ye shall sound with the trumpets at your whole-burnt-offerings, and at the sacrifices of your peace-offerings; and there shall be a memorial for you before your God: I [am] the Lord your God. 11And it came to pass in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, the cloud went up from the tabernacle of witness. 12And the children of Israel set forward with their baggage in the wilderness of Sina; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Pharan. 13And the first rank departed by the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses. 14And they first set in motion the order of the camp of the children of Juda with their host; and over their host [was] Naasson, son of Aminadab. 15And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Issachar, [was] Nathanael son of Sogar. 16And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Zabulon, [was] Eliab the son of Chælon. 17And they shall take down the tabernacle, and the sons of Gedson shall set forward, and the sons of Merari, who bear the tabernacle. 18And the order of the camp of Ruben set forward with their host; and over their host [was] Elisur the son of Sediur. 19And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Symeon, [was] Salamiel son of Surisadai. 20And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad, [was] Elisaph the son of Raguel. 21And the sons of Caath shall set forward bearing the holy things, and [the others] shall set up the tabernacle until they arrive. 22And the order of the camp of Ephraim shall set forward with their forces; and over their forces [was] Elisama the son of Semiud. 23And over the forces of the tribe of the sons of Manasse, [was] Gamaliel the [son] of Phadassur. 24And over the forces of the tribe of the children of Benjamin, [was] Abidan the [son] of Gadeoni. 25And the order of the camp of the sons of Dan shall set forward the last of all the camps, with their forces: and over their forces [was] Achiezer the [son] of Amisadai. 26And over the forces of the tribe of the sons of Aser, [was] Phageel the son of Echran. 27And over the forces of the tribe of the sons of Nephthali, [was] Achire the son of Ænan. 28These [are] the armies of the children of Israel; and they set forward with their forces. 29And Moses said to Obab the son of Raguel the Madianite, the father-in-law of Moses, We are going forward to the place concerning which the Lord said, This will I give to you: Come with us, and we will do thee good, for the Lord has spoken good concerning Israel. 30And he said to him, I will not go, but [I will go] to my land and to my kindred. 31And he said, Leave us not, because thou hast been with us in the wilderness, and thou shalt be an elder among us. 32And it shall come to pass if thou wilt go with us, it shall even come to pass that in whatsoever things the Lord shall do us good, we will also do thee good. 33And they departed from the mount of the Lord a three days' journey; and the ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them a three days' journey to provide rest for them. 34And it came to pass when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Arise, O Lord, and let thine enemies be scattered: let all that hate thee flee. 35And in the resting he said, Turn again, O Lord, the thousands [and] tens of thousands in Israel. 36And the cloud overshadowed them by day, when they departed from the camp.

Psalm 30:6–14(MT: 31)

MT Psalm 31 = LXX Psalm 30 (standard offset).

6Therefore shall every holy one pray to thee in a fit time: only in the deluge of many waters they shall not come nigh to him. 7Thou art my refuge from the affliction that encompasses me; my joy, to deliver me from them that have compassed me. Pause. 8I will instruct thee and guide thee in this way wherein thou shalt go: I will fix mine eyes upon thee. 9Be ye not as horse and mule, which have no understanding: [but thou must] constrain their jaws with bit and curb, lest they should come nigh to thee. 10Many are the scourges of the sinner: but him that hopes in the Lord mercy shall compass about. 11Be glad in the Lord, and exult, ye righteous: and glory, all ye that are upright in heart.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)

Proverbs 11:7–11

7At the death of a just man his hope does not perish: but the boast of the ungodly perishes. 8A righteous man escapes from a snare, and the ungodly man is delivered up in his place. 9In the mouth of ungodly men is a snare to citizens: but the understanding of righteous men is prosperous. 10In the prosperity of righteous men a city prospers: 11but by the mouths of ungodly men it is overthrown.
New TestamentKing James Version

Mark 9:30–50

30And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it. 31For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day. 32But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him. 33And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way? 34But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest. 35And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all. 36And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them, 37Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me. 38And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us. 39But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. 40For he that is not against us is on our part. 41For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward. 42And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. 43And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: 44Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 45And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: 46Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 47And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: 48Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 49For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. 50Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.
