Numbers 3:1–4:49
1And these [are] the generations of Aaron and Moses, in the day in which the Lord spoke to Moses in mount Sina. 2And these [are] the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the first-born; and Abiud, Eleazar and Ithamar. 3These [are] the names of the sons of Aaron, the anointed priests whom they consecrated to the priesthood. 4And Nadab and Abiud died before the Lord, when they offered strange fire before the Lord, in the wilderness of Sina; and they had no children; and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priests' office with Aaron their father. 5And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 6Take the tribe of Levi, and thou shalt set them before Aaron the priest, and they shall minister to him, 7and shall keep his charges, and the charges of the children of Israel, before the tabernacle of witness, to do the works of the tabernacle. 8And they shall keep all the furniture of the tabernacle of witness, and the charges of the children of Israel as to all the works of the tabernacle. 9And thou shalt give the Levites to Aaron, and to his sons the priests; they are given for a gift to me of the children of Israel. 10And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons over the tabernacle of witness; and they shall keep their charge of priesthood, and all things belonging to the altar, and within the veil; and the stranger that touches them shall die. 11And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 12Behold, I have taken the Levites from the midst of the children of Israel, instead of every male that opens the womb from among the children of Israel: they shall be their ransom, and the Levites shall be mine. 13For every first-born [is] mine; in the day in which I smote every first-born in the land of Egypt, I sanctified to myself every first-born in Israel: both of man and beast, they shall be mine: I [am] the Lord. 14And the Lord spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sina, saying, 15Take the number of the sons of Levi, according to the houses of their families, according to their divisions; number ye them every male from a month old and upwards. 16And Moses and Aaron numbered them by the word of the Lord, as the Lord commanded them. 17And these were the sons of Levi by their names; Gedson, Caath, and Merari. 18And these [are] the names of the sons of Gedson according to their families; Lobeni and Semei: 19and the sons of Caath according to their families; Amram and Issaar, Chebron and Oziel: 20and the sons of Merari according to their families, Mooli and Musi; these are the families of the Levites according to the houses of their families. 21To Gedson belongs the family of Lobeni, and the family of Semei: these are the families of Gedson. 22The numbering of them according to the number of every male from a month old and upwards, their numbering [was] seven thousand and five hundred. 23And the sons of Gedson shall encamp westward behind the tabernacle. 24And the ruler of the household of the family of Gedson [was] Elisaph the son of Dael. 25And the charge of the sons of Gedson in the tabernacle of witness [was] the tent and the veil, and the covering of the door of the tabernacle of witness, 26and the curtains of the court, and the veil of the door of the court, which is by the tabernacle, and the remainder of all its works. 27To Caath [belonged] one division, that of Amram, and another division, that of Issaar, and another division, that of Chebron, and another division, that of Oziel: these are the divisions of Caath, according to number. 28Every male from a month old and upward, eight thousand and six hundred, keeping the charges of the holy things. 29The families of the sons of Caath, shall encamp beside the tabernacle toward the south. 30And the chief of the house of the families of the divisions of Caath, [was] Elisaphan the son of Oziel. 31And their charge [was] the ark, and the table, and the candlestick, and the altars, and all the vessels of the sanctuary wherewith they do holy service, and the veil, and all their works. 32And the chief over the chief of the Levites, [was] Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, appointed to keep the charges of the holy things. 33To Merari [belonged] the family of Mooli, and the family of Musi: these are the families of Merari. 34The mustering of them according to number, every male from a month old and upwards, [was] six thousand and fifty. 35And the head of the house of the families of the division of Merari, was Suriel the son of Abichail: they shall encamp by the side of the tabernacle northwards. 36The oversight of the charge of the sons of Merari [included] the chapiters of the tabernacle, and its bars, and its pillars, and its sockets, and all their furniture, and their works, 37and the pillars of the court round about, and their bases, and their pins, and their cords. 38They that encamp before the tabernacle of witness on the east [shall be] Moses and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charges of the sanctuary according to the charges of the children of Israel; and the stranger that touches them, shall die. 39All the numbering of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered by the word of the Lord, according to their families, every male from a month old and upwards, [were] two and twenty thousand. 40And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Count every first-born male of the children of Israel from a month old and upwards, and take the number by name. 41And thou shalt take the Levites for me—I [am] the Lord—instead of all the first-born of the sons of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the first-born among the cattle of the children of Israel. 42And Moses counted, as the Lord commanded him, every first-born among the children of Israel. 43And all the male first-born in number by name, from a month old and upwards, were according to their numbering twenty-two thousand and two hundred and seventy-three. 44And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 45Take the Levites instead of all the first-born of the sons of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle, and the Levites shall be mine; I [am] the Lord. 46And for the ransoms of the two hundred and seventy-three which exceed the Levites in number of the first-born of the sons of Israel; 47thou shalt even take five shekels a head; thou shalt take them according to the holy didrachm, twenty oboli to the shekel. 48And thou shalt give the money to Aaron and to his sons, the ransom of those who exceed in number among them. 49And Moses took the silver, the ransom of those that exceeded in number the redemption of the Levites. 50He took the silver from the first-born of the sons of Israel, a thousand three hundred and sixty-five shekels, according to the holy shekel. 51And Moses gave the ransom of them that were over to Aaron and his sons, by the word of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses. Chapter 41And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 2Take the sum of the children of Caath from the midst of the sons of Levi, after their families, according to the houses of their fathers' households; 3from twenty-five years old and upward until fifty years, every one that goes in to minister, to do all the works in the tabernacle of witness. 4And these are the works of the sons of Caath in the tabernacle of witness; it is most holy. 5And Aaron and his sons shall go in, when the camp is about to move, and shall take down the shadowing veil, and shall cover with it the ark of the testimony. 6And they shall put on it a cover, even a blue skin, and put on it above a garment all of blue, and shall put the staves through [the rings]. 7And they shall put on the table set forth for shew-bread a cloth all of purple, and the dishes, and the censers, and the cups, and the vessels with which one offers drink-offerings; and the continual loaves shall be upon it. 8And they shall put upon it a scarlet cloth, and they shall cover it with a blue covering of skin, and they shall put the staves into it. 9And they shall take a blue covering, and cover the candlestick that gives light, and its lamps, and its snuffers, and its funnels, and all the vessels of oil with which they minister. 10And they shall put it, and all its vessels, into a blue skin cover; and they shall put it on bearers. 11And they shall put a blue cloth for a cover on the golden altar, and shall cover it with a blue skin cover, and put in its staves. 12And they shall take all the instruments of service, with which they minister in the sanctuary: and shall place them in a cloth of blue, and shall cover them with blue skin covering, and put them upon staves. 13And he shall put the covering on the altar, and they shall cover it with a cloth all of purple. 14And they shall put upon it all the vessels with which they minister upon it, and the fire-pans, and the flesh-hooks, and the cups, and the cover, and all the vessels of the altar; and they shall put on it a blue cover of skins, and shall put in its staves; and they shall take a purple cloth, and cover the laver and its foot, and they shall put it into a blue cover of skin, and put it on bars. 15And Aaron and his sons shall finish covering the holy things, and all the holy vessels, when the camp begins to move; and afterwards the sons of Caath shall go in to take up [the furniture]; but shall not touch the holy things, lest they die: these shall the sons of Caath bear in the tabernacle of witness. 16Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest is overseer—the oil of the light, and the incense of composition, and the daily meat-offering and the anointing oil, are his charge; even the oversight of the whole tabernacle, and all things that are in it in the holy place, in all the works. 17And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 18Ye shall not destroy the family of Caath from the tribe out of the midst of the Levites. 19This do ye to them, and they shall live and not die, when they approach the holy of holies: Let Aaron and his sons advance, and they shall place them each in his post for bearing. 20And [so] they shall by no means go in to look suddenly upon the holy things, and die. 21And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 22Take the sum of the children of Gedson, and these according to the houses of their lineage, according to their families. 23Take the number of them from five and twenty years old and upwards until the age of fifty, every one that goes in to minister, to do his business in the tabernacle of witness. 24This [is] the public service of the family of Gedson, to minister and to bear. 25And they shall bear the skins of the tabernacle, and the tabernacle of witness, and its veil, and the blue cover that was on it above, and the cover of the door of the tabernacle of witness. 26And all the curtains of the court which were upon the tabernacle of witness, and the appendages, and all the vessels of service that they minister with they shall attend to. 27According to the direction of Aaron and his sons shall be the ministry of the sons of Gedson, in all their ministries, and in all their works; and thou shalt take account of them by name in all things borne by them. 28This is the service of the sons of Gedson in the tabernacle of witness, and their charge by the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. 29The sons of Merari according to their families, according to the houses of their lineage, take ye the number of them. 30Take the number of them from five and twenty years old and upwards until fifty years old, every one that goes in to perform the services of the tabernacle of witness. 31And these are the charges of the things borne by them according to all their works in the tabernacle of witness: they shall bear the chapiters of the tabernacle, and the bars, and its pillars, and its sockets, and the veil, and [there shall be] their sockets, and their pillars, and the curtain of the door of the tabernacle. 32And they shall bear the pillars of the court round about, and [there shall be] their sockets, and [they shall bear] the pillars of the veil of the door of the court, and their sockets and their pins, and their cords, and all their furniture, and all their instruments of service: take ye their number by name, and all the articles of the charge of the things borne by them. 33This is the ministration of the family of the sons of Merari in all their works in the tabernacle of witness, by the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. 34And Moses and Aaron and the rulers of Israel took the number of the sons of Caath according to their families, according to the houses of their lineage; 35from five and twenty years old and upwards to the age of fifty years, every one that goes in to minister and do service in the tabernacle of witness. 36And the numbering of them according to their families was two thousand, seven hundred and fifty. 37This is the numbering of the family of Caath, every one that ministers in the tabernacle of witness, as Moses and Aaron numbered them by the word of the Lord, by the hand of Moses. 38And the sons of Gedson were numbered according to their families, according to the houses of their lineage, 39from five and twenty years old and upward till fifty years old, every one that goes in to minister and to do the services in the tabernacle of witness. 40And the numbering of them according to their families, according to the houses of their lineage, [was] two thousand six hundred and thirty. 41This [is] the numbering of the family of the sons of Gedson, every one who ministers in the tabernacle of witness; whom Moses and Aaron numbered by the word of the Lord, by the hand of Moses. 42And also the family of the sons of Merari were numbered according to their divisions, according to the house of their fathers; 43from five and twenty years old and upward till fifty years old, every one that goes in to minister in the services of the tabernacle of witness. 44And the numbering of them according to their families, according to the houses of their lineage, [was] three thousand and two hundred. 45This [is] the numbering of the family of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered by the word of the Lord, by the hand of Moses. 46All that were numbered, whom Moses and Aaron and the rulers of Israel numbered, [namely], the Levites, according to their families and according to the houses of their lineage, 47from five and twenty years old and upward till fifty years old, every one that goes in to the service of the works, and the [charge of] the things that are carried in the tabernacle of witness. 48And they that were numbered were eight thousand five hundred and eighty. 49He reviewed them by the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses, appointing each man severally over their [respective] work, and over their burdens; and they were numbered, as the Lord commanded Moses.

MT Psalm 30 = LXX Psalm 29 (standard offset).
1For the end, a Psalm of David, [an utterance] of extreme fear. 2O Lord, I have hoped in thee; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness and rescue me. 3Incline thine ear to me; make haste to rescue me: be thou to me for a protecting God, and for a house of refuge to save me. 4For thou art my strength and my refuge; and thou shalt guide me for thy name's sake, and maintain me. 5Thou shalt bring me out of the snare which they have hidden for me; for thou, O Lord, art my defender. 6Into thine hands I will commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth. 7Thou hast hated them that idly persist in vanities: but I have hoped in the Lord.

Proverbs 10:30–32
30The righteous shall never fail: but the ungodly shall not dwell in the earth. 31The mouth of the righteous drops wisdom: but the tongue of the unjust shall perish. 32The lips of just men drop grace: but the mouth of the ungodly is perverse.
New TestamentKing James Version
Mark 8:1–21
1In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them, 2I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat: 3And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far. 4And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness? 5And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven. 6And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people. 7And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them. 8So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets. 9And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away. 10And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha. 11And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him. 12And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation. 13And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side. 14Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf. 15And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod. 16And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread. 17And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened? 18Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember? 19When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve. 20And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven. 21And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?
