33:1And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death. 33:2And he said,
Jehovah came from Sinai,
And rose from Seir unto them;
He shined forth from mount Paran,
And he came from the ten thousands of holy ones:
At his right hand was a fiery law for them.
33:3Yea, he loveth the people;
All his saints are in thy hand:
And they sat down at thy feet;
Every one shall receive of thy words.
33:4Moses commanded us a law,
An inheritance for the assembly of Jacob.
33:5And he was king in Jeshurun,
When the heads of the people were gathered,
All the tribes of Israel together.
33:6Let Reuben live, and not die;
Nor let his men be few.
33:7And this is the blessing of Judah: and he said,
Hear, Jehovah, the voice of Judah,
And bring him in unto his people.
With his hands he contended for himself;
And thou shalt be a help against his adversaries.
33:8And of Levi he said,
Thy Thummim and thy Urim are with thy godly one,
Whom thou didst prove at Massah,
With whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;
33:9Who said of his father, and of his mother, I have not seen him;
Neither did he acknowledge his brethren,
Nor knew he his own children:
For they have observed thy word,
And keep thy covenant.
33:10They shall teach Jacob thine ordinances,
And Israel thy law:
They shall put incense before thee,
And whole burnt-offering upon thine altar.
33:11Bless, Jehovah, his substance,
And accept the work of his hands:
Smite through the loins of them that rise up against him,
And of them that hate him, that they rise not again.
33:12Of Benjamin he said,
The beloved of Jehovah shall dwell in safety by him;
He covereth him all the day long,
And he dwelleth between his shoulders.
33:13And of Joseph he said,
Blessed of Jehovah be his land,
For the precious things of heaven, for the dew,
And for the deep that coucheth beneath,
33:14And for the precious things of the fruits of the sun,
And for the precious things of the growth of the moons,
33:15And for the chief things of the ancient mountains,
And for the precious things of the everlasting hills,
33:16And for the precious things of the earth and the fulness thereof,
And the good will of him that dwelt in the bush.
Let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph,
And upon the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.
33:17The firstling of his herd, majesty is his;
And his horns are the horns of the wild-ox:
With them he shall push the peoples all of them, even the ends of the earth:
And they are the ten thousands of Ephraim,
And they are the thousands of Manasseh.
33:18And of Zebulun he said,
Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out;
And, Issachar, in thy tents.
33:19They shall call the peoples unto the mountain;
There shall they offer sacrifices of righteousness:
For they shall suck the abundance of the seas,
And the hidden treasures of the sand.
33:20And of Gad he said,
Blessed be he that enlargeth Gad:
He dwelleth as a lioness,
And teareth the arm, yea, the crown of the head.
33:21And he provided the first part for himself,
For there was the lawgiver's portion reserved;
And he came with the heads of the people;
He executed the righteousness of Jehovah,
And his ordinances with Israel.
33:22And of Dan he said,
Dan is a lion's whelp,
That leapeth forth from Bashan.
33:23And of Naphtali he said,
O Naphtali, satisfied with favor,
And full with the blessing of Jehovah,
Possess thou the west and the south.
33:24And of Asher he said,
Blessed be Asher with children;
Let him be acceptable unto his brethren,
And let him dip his foot in oil.
33:25Thy bars shall be iron and brass;
And as thy days, so shall thy strength be.
33:26There is none like unto God, O Jeshurun,
Who rideth upon the heavens for thy help,
And in his excellency on the skies.
33:27The eternal God is thy dwelling-place,
And underneath are the everlasting arms.
And he thrust out the enemy from before thee,
And said, Destroy.
33:28And Israel dwelleth in safety,
The fountain of Jacob alone,
In a land of grain and new wine;
Yea, his heavens drop down dew.
33:29Happy art thou, O Israel:
Who is like unto thee, a people saved by Jehovah,
The shield of thy help,
And the sword of thy excellency!
And thine enemies shall submit themselves unto thee;
And thou shalt tread upon their high places.
34:1And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. And Jehovah showed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan, 34:2and all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the hinder sea, 34:3and the South, and the Plain of the valley of Jericho the city of palm-trees, unto Zoar. 34:4And Jehovah said unto him, This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither. 34:5So Moses the servant of Jehovah died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of Jehovah. 34:6And he buried him in the valley in the land of Moab over against Beth-peor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day. 34:7And Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated. 34:8And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping in the mourning for Moses were ended.
34:9And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as Jehovah commanded Moses. 34:10And there hath not arisen a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom Jehovah knew face to face, 34:11in all the signs and the wonders, which Jehovah sent him to do in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land, 34:12and in all the mighty hand, and in all the great terror, which Moses wrought in the sight of all Israel.
QOPH.
119:145I have called with my whole heart; answer me, O Jehovah:
I will keep thy statutes.
119:146I have called unto thee; save me,
And I shall observe thy testimonies.
119:147I anticipated the dawning of the morning, and cried:
I hoped in thy words.
119:148Mine eyes anticipated the night-watches,
That I might meditate on thy word.
119:149Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness:
Quicken me, O Jehovah, *according to thine ordinances.
119:150They draw nigh *that follow after wickedness;
They are far from thy law.
119:151Thou art nigh, O Jehovah;
And all thy commandments are truth.
119:152Of old have I known from thy testimonies,
That thou hast founded them for ever.
RESH.
119:153Consider mine affliction, and deliver me;
For I do not forget thy law.
119:154Plead thou my cause, and redeem me:
Quicken me according to thy word.
119:155Salvation is far from the wicked;
For they seek not thy statutes.
119:156Great are thy tender mercies, O Jehovah:
Quicken me according to thine ordinances.
119:157Many are my persecutors and mine adversaries;
Yet have I not swerved from thy testimonies.
119:158I beheld the treacherous, and *was grieved,
Because they observe not thy word.
119:159Consider how I love thy precepts:
Quicken me, O Jehovah, according to thy lovingkindness.
119:160The sum of thy word is truth;
And every one of thy righteous ordinances endureth for ever.
SHIN.
119:161Princes have persecuted me without a cause;
But my heart standeth in awe of thy words.
119:162I rejoice at thy word,
As one that findeth great spoil.
119:163I hate and abhor falsehood;
But thy law do I love.
119:164Seven times a day do I praise thee,
Because of thy righteous ordinances.
119:165Great peace have they that love thy law;
And they have no occasion of stumbling.
119:166I have hoped for thy salvation, O Jehovah,
And have done thy commandments.
119:167My soul hath observed thy testimonies;
And I love them exceedingly.
119:168I have observed thy precepts and thy testimonies;
For all my ways are before thee.
TAV.
119:169Let my cry come near before thee, O Jehovah:
Give me understanding according to thy word.
119:170Let my supplication come before thee:
Deliver me according to thy word.
119:171Let my lips utter praise;
For thou teachest me thy statutes.
119:172Let my tongue sing of thy word;
For all thy commandments are righteousness.
119:173Let thy hand be ready to help me;
For I have chosen thy precepts.
119:174I have longed for thy salvation, O Jehovah;
And thy law is my delight.
119:175Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee;
And let thine ordinances help me.
119:176I have gone astray like a lost sheep;
Seek thy servant;
For I do not forget thy commandments.
60:1Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of Jehovah is risen upon thee. 60:2For, behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the peoples; but Jehovah will arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. 60:3And nations shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. 60:4Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: they all gather themselves together, they come to thee; thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be carried in the arms. 60:5Then thou shalt see and be radiant, and thy heart shall thrill and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be turned unto thee, the wealth of the nations shall come unto thee. 60:6The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come; they shall bring gold and frankincense, and shall proclaim the praises of Jehovah. 60:7All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee; they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar; and I will glorify the house of my glory. 60:8Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows? 60:9Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, for the name of Jehovah thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee. 60:10And foreigners shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favor have I had mercy on thee. 60:11Thy gates also shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the wealth of the nations, and their kings led captive. 60:12For that nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted. 60:13The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir-tree, the pine, and the box-tree together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious. 60:14And the sons of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee The city of Jehovah, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel. 60:15Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no man passed through thee, I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations. 60:16Thou shalt also suck the milk of the nations, and shalt suck the breast of kings; and thou shalt know that I, Jehovah, am thy Saviour, and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. 60:17For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron. I will also make thy officers peace, and thine exactors righteousness. 60:18Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, desolation nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise. 60:19The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but Jehovah will be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. 60:20Thy sun shall no more go down, neither shall thy moon withdraw itself; for Jehovah will be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended. 60:21Thy people also shall be all righteous; they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified. 60:22The little one shall become a thousand, and the small one a strong nation; I, Jehovah, will hasten it in its time.
8:1And when he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. 8:2And behold, there came to him a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 8:3And he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou made clean. And straightway his leprosy was cleansed. 8:4And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go, show thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
8:5And when he was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, 8:6and saying, Lord, my servant lieth in the house sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. 8:7And he saith unto him, I will come and heal him. 8:8And the centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof; but only say the word, and my servant shall be healed. 8:9For I also am a man under authority, having under myself soldiers: and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. 8:10And when Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. 8:11And I say unto you, that many shall come from the east and the west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven: 8:12but the sons of the kingdom shall be cast forth into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. 8:13And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And the servant was healed in that hour.
8:14And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother lying sick of a fever. 8:15And he touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she arose, and ministered unto him. 8:16And when even was come, they brought unto him many possessed with demons: and he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all that were sick: 8:17that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying: Himself took our infirmities, and bare our diseases.
8:18Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandments to depart unto the other side. 8:19And there came a scribe, and said unto him, Teacher, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. 8:20And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. 8:21And another of the disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. 8:22But Jesus saith unto him, Follow me; and leave the dead to bury their own dead.
8:23And when he was entered into a boat, his disciples followed him. 8:24And behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the boat was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. 8:25And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Save, Lord; we perish. 8:26And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. 8:27And the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?
8:28And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gadarenes, there met him two possessed with demons, coming forth out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man could pass by that way. 8:29And behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time? 8:30Now there was afar off from them a herd of many swine feeding. 8:31And the demons besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, send us away into the herd of swine. 8:32And he said unto them, Go. And they came out, and went into the swine: and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep into the sea, and perished in the waters. 8:33And they that fed them fled, and went away into the city, and told everything, and what was befallen to them that were possessed with demons. 8:34And behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart from their borders.
