12:1And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman. 12:2And they said, Hath Jehovah indeed spoken only with Moses? hath he not spoken also with us? And Jehovah heard it. 12:3Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men that were upon the face of the earth.
12:4And Jehovah spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tent of meeting. And they three came out. 12:5And Jehovah came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the Tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forth. 12:6And he said, Hear now my words: if there be a prophet among you, I Jehovah will make myself known unto him in a vision, I will speak with him in a dream. 12:7My servant Moses is not so; he is faithful in all my house: 12:8with him will I speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly, and not in dark speeches; and the form of Jehovah shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?
12:9And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against them; and he departed. 12:10And the cloud removed from over the Tent; and, behold, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous. 12:11And Aaron said unto Moses, Oh, my lord, lay not, I pray thee, sin upon us, for that we have done foolishly, and for that we have sinned. 12:12Let her not, I pray, be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb. 12:13And Moses cried unto Jehovah, saying, Heal her, O God, I beseech thee. 12:14And Jehovah said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut up without the camp seven days, and after that she shall be brought in again. 12:15And Miriam was shut up without the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.
12:16And afterward the people journeyed from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
13:1And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 13:2Send thou men, that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a prince among them. 13:3And Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran according to the commandment of Jehovah: all of them men who were heads of the children of Israel. 13:4And these were their names: Of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur. 13:5Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori. 13:6Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh. 13:7Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph. 13:8Of the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Nun. 13:9Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu. 13:10Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi. 13:11Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi. 13:12Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli. 13:13Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael. 13:14Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi. 13:15Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi. 13:16These are the names of the men that Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua.
13:17And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way by the South, and go up into the hill-country: 13:18and see the land, what it is; and the people that dwell therein, whether they are strong or weak, whether they are few or many; 13:19and what the land is that they dwell in, whether it is good or bad; and what cities they are that they dwell in, whether in camps, or in strongholds; 13:20and what the land is, whether it is fat or lean, whether there is wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the first-ripe grapes.
13:21So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, to the entrance of Hamath. 13:22And they went up by the South, and came unto Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.) 13:23And they came unto the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it upon a staff between two; they brought also of the pomegranates, and of the figs. 13:24That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
13:25And they returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days. 13:26And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land. 13:27And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us; and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it. 13:28Howbeit the people that dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there. 13:29Amalek dwelleth in the land of the South: and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, dwell in the hill-country; and the Canaanite dwelleth by the sea, and along by the side of the Jordan.
13:30And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it. 13:31But the men that went up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we. 13:32And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had spied out unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of great stature. 13:33And there we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who come of the Nephilim: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.
49:1Hear this, all ye peoples;
Give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world,
49:2Both low and high,
Rich and poor together.
49:3My mouth shall speak wisdom;
And the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.
49:4I will incline mine ear to a parable:
I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
49:5Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil,
When iniquity at my heels compasseth me about?
49:6They that trust in their wealth,
And boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
49:7None of them can by any means redeem his brother,
Nor give to God a ransom for him;
49:8(For the redemption of their life is costly,
And it faileth for ever;)
49:9That he should still live alway,
That he should not see corruption.
49:10For he shall see it. Wise men die;
The fool and the brutish alike perish,
And leave their wealth to others.
49:11Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever,
And their dwelling-places to all generations;
They call their lands after their own names.
49:12But man being in honor abideth not:
He is like the beasts that perish.
49:13This their way is their folly:
Yet after them men approve their sayings.
Selah
49:14They are appointed as a flock for Sheol;
Death shall be their shepherd;
And the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning;
And their beauty shall be for Sheol to consume,
That there be no habitation for it.
49:15But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol;
For he will receive me.
Selah
49:16Be not thou afraid when one is made rich,
When the glory of his house is increased.
49:17For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away;
His glory shall not descend after him.
49:18Though while he lived he blessed his soul
(And men praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself,)
49:19He shall go to the generation of his fathers;
They shall never see the light.
49:20Man that is in honor, and understandeth not,
Is like the beasts that perish.
2:1The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. 2:2And it shall come to pass in the latter days, that the mountain of Jehovah's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. 2:3And many peoples shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem. 2:4And he will judge between the nations, and will decide concerning many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. 2:5O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of Jehovah. 2:6For thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they are filled with customs from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they strike hands with the children of foreigners. 2:7And their land is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land also is full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots. 2:8Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made. 2:9And the mean man is bowed down, and the great man is brought low: therefore forgive them not. 2:10Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majesty. 2:11The lofty looks of man shall be brought low, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day. 2:12For there shall be a day of Jehovah of hosts upon all that is proud and haughty, and upon all that is lifted up; and it shall be brought low; 2:13and upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan, 2:14and upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up, 2:15and upon every lofty tower, and upon every fortified wall, 2:16and upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant imagery. 2:17And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low; and Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day. 2:18And the idols shall utterly pass away. 2:19And men shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake mightily the earth. 2:20In that day men shall cast away their idols of silver, and their idols of gold, which have been made for them to worship, to the moles and to the bats; 2:21to go into the caverns of the rocks, and into the clefts of the ragged rocks, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake mightily the earth. 2:22Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for wherein is he to be accounted of?
10:1For the law having a shadow of the good things to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect them that draw nigh. 10:2Else would they not have ceased to be offered? because the worshippers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins. 10:3But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance made of sins year by year. 10:4For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins. 10:5Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith,
Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not,
But a body didst thou prepare for me;
10:6In whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hadst no pleasure:
10:7Then said I, Lo, I am come (In the roll of the book it is written of me)
To do thy will, O God.
10:8Saying above, Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein (the which are offered according to the law), 10:9then hath he said, Lo, I am come to do thy will. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. 10:10By which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 10:11And every priest indeed standeth day by day ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, the which can never take away sins: 10:12but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 10:13henceforth expecting till his enemies be made the footstool of his feet. 10:14For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. 10:15And the Holy Spirit also beareth witness to us; for after he hath said,
10:16This is the covenant that I will make with them
After those days, saith the Lord:
I will put my laws on their heart,
And upon their mind also will I write them;
then saith he,
10:17And their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
10:18Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. 10:19Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus, 10:20by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; 10:21and having a great priest over the house of God; 10:22let us draw near with a true heart in fulness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience: and having our body washed with pure water, 10:23let us hold fast the confession of our hope that it waver not; for he is faithful that promised: 10:24and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and good works; 10:25not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as ye see the day drawing nigh. 10:26For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more a sacrifice for sins, 10:27but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which shall devour the adversaries. 10:28A man that hath set at nought Moses law dieth without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses: 10:29of how much sorer punishment, think ye, shall he be judged worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant wherewith he was sanctified an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? 10:30For we know him that said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. 10:31It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. 10:32But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were enlightened, ye endured a great conflict of sufferings; 10:33partly, being made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, becoming partakers with them that were so used. 10:34For ye both had compassion on them that were in bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of you possessions, knowing that ye have for yourselves a better possession and an abiding one. 10:35Cast not away therefore your boldness, which hath great recompense of reward. 10:36For ye have need of patience, that, having done the will of God, ye may receive the promise.
10:37For yet a very little while,
He that cometh shall come, and shall not tarry.
10:38But my righteous one shall live by faith:
And if he shrink back, my soul hath no pleasure in him.
10:39But we are not of them that shrink back unto perdition; but of them that have faith unto the saving of the soul.
