1 ¶And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in
the tabernacle of the congregation, on the first day of the second
month, in the second year after they were come out of the land of
Egypt, saying, 2 Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the
children of Israel, after their families, by the house of their
fathers, with the number of their names, every male by their polls;
3 From twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth
to war in Israel: thou and Aaron shall number them by their armies.
4 And with you there shall be a man of every tribe; every one head
of the house of his fathers. 5 And these are the names of the men
that shall stand with you: of the tribe of Reuben; Elizur the son
of Shedeur. 6 Of Simeon; Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. 7 Of
Judah; Nahshon the son of Amminadab. 8 Of Issachar; Nethaneel the
son of Zuar. 9 Of Zebulun; Eliab the son of Helon. 10 Of the children
of Joseph: of Ephraim; Elishama the son of Ammihud: of Manasseh;
Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. 11 Of Benjamin; Abidan the son of
Gideoni. 12 Of Dan; Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. 13 Of Asher;
Pagiel the son of Ocran. 14 Of Gad; Eliasaph the son of Deuel. 15
Of Naphtali; Ahira the son of Enan. 16 These were the renowned of
the congregation, princes of the tribes of their fathers, heads
of thousands in Israel.
17 ¶And Moses and Aaron took these men which are expressed by their
names: 18 And they assembled all the congregation together on the
first day of the second month, and they declared their pedigrees
after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to
the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, by their
polls. 19 As the LORD commanded Moses, so he numbered them in the
wilderness of Sinai. 20 And the children of Reuben, Israel's eldest
son, by their generations, after their families, by the house of
their fathers, according to the number of the names, by their polls,
every male from twenty years old and upward, all that were able
to go forth to war; 21 Those that were numbered of them, even of
the tribe of Reuben, were forty and six thousand and five hundred.
22 Of the children of Simeon, by their generations, after their
families, by the house of their fathers, those that were numbered
of them, according to the number of the names, by their polls, every
male from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go
forth to war; 23 Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe
of Simeon, were fifty and nine thousand and three hundred. 24 Of
the children of Gad, by their generations, after their families,
by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names,
from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth
to war; 25 Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of
Gad, were forty and five thousand six hundred and fifty. 26 Of the
children of Judah, by their generations, after their families, by
the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names,
from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth
to war; 27 Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of
Judah, were threescore and fourteen thousand and six hundred. 28
Of the children of Issachar, by their generations, after their families,
by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names,
from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth
to war; 29 Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of
Issachar, were fifty and four thousand and four hundred. 30 Of the
children of Zebulun, by their generations, after their families,
by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names,
from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth
to war; 31 Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of
Zebulun, were fifty and seven thousand and four hundred. 32 Of the
children of Joseph, namely, of the children of Ephraim, by their
generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers,
according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and
upward, all that were able to go forth to war; 33 Those that were
numbered of them, even of the tribe of Ephraim, were forty thousand
and five hundred. 34 Of the children of Manasseh, by their generations,
after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to
the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that
were able to go forth to war; 35 Those that were numbered of them,
even of the tribe of Manasseh, were thirty and two thousand and
two hundred. 36 Of the children of Benjamin, by their generations,
after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to
the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that
were able to go forth to war; 37 Those that were numbered of them,
even of the tribe of Benjamin, were thirty and five thousand and
four hundred. 38 Of the children of Dan, by their generations, after
their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the
number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that
were able to go forth to war; 39 Those that were numbered of them,
even of the tribe of Dan, were threescore and two thousand and seven
hundred. 40 Of the children of Asher, by their generations, after
their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the
number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that
were able to go forth to war; 41 Those that were numbered of them,
even of the tribe of Asher, were forty and one thousand and five
hundred. 42 Of the children of Naphtali, throughout their generations,
after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to
the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that
were able to go forth to war; 43 Those that were numbered of them,
even of the tribe of Naphtali, were fifty and three thousand and
four hundred.
44 ¶These are those that were numbered, which Moses and Aaron numbered,
and the princes of Israel, being twelve men: each one was for the
house of his fathers. 45 So were all those that were numbered of
the children of Israel, by the house of their fathers, from twenty
years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war in Israel;
46 Even all they that were numbered were six hundred thousand and
three thousand and five hundred and fifty.
47 ¶But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not numbered
among them. 48 For the LORD had spoken unto Moses, saying, 49 Only
thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of
them among the children of Israel: 50 But thou shalt appoint the
Levites over the tabernacle of testimony, and over all the vessels
thereof, and over all things that belong to it: they shall bear
the tabernacle, and all the vessels thereof; and they shall minister
unto it, and shall encamp round about the tabernacle. 51 And when
the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it down:
and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set
it up: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
52 And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man
by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, throughout their
hosts. 53 But the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle
of testimony, that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the
children of Israel: and the Levites shall keep the charge of the
tabernacle of testimony. 54 And the children of Israel did according
to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.

Psalms

1 ¶ Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications:
in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness. 2 And enter
not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man
living be justified. 3 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he
hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell
in darkness, as those that have been long dead. 4 Therefore is my
spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate. 5
I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse
on the work of thy hands. 6 I stretch forth my hands unto thee:
my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
7 ¶Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face
from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit. 8 Cause
me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust:
cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my
soul unto thee. 9 Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee
unto thee to hide me. 10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my
God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness. 11
Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness'
sake bring my soul out of trouble. 12 And of thy mercy cut off mine
enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy
servant.

1 ¶ Blessed be the LORD my
strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:
2 My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer;
my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under
me. 3 LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the
son of man, that thou makest account of him! 4 Man is like to vanity:
his days are as a shadow that passeth away. 5 Bow thy heavens, O
LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
6 Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows,
and destroy them. 7 Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver
me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children; 8 Whose
mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
9 ¶I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and
an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee. 10 It
is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his
servant from the hurtful sword. 11 Rid me, and deliver me from the
hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their
right hand is a right hand of falsehood: 12 That our sons may be
as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as
corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace: 13 That
our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our
sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets:
14 That our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking
in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets.
15 Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that
people, whose God is the LORD.

1 ¶And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place,
when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach
us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. 2 And he said unto
them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed
be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so
in earth. 3 Give us day by day our daily bread. 4 And forgive us
our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us.
And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. 5 And
he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go
unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;
6 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have
nothing to set before him? 7 And he from within shall answer and
say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with
me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee. 8 I say unto you, Though
he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because
of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.
9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and
ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. 10 For every
one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him
that knocketh it shall be opened. 11 If a son shall ask bread of
any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he
ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? 12 Or if he shall
ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If ye then, being evil,
know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall
your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
14 ¶And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came
to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people
wondered. 15 But some of them said, He casteth out devils through
Beelzebub the chief of the devils. 16 And others, tempting him,
sought of him a sign from heaven. 17 But he, knowing their thoughts,
said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought
to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth. 18 If
Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand?
because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub. 19 And
if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them
out? therefore shall they be your judges. 20 But if I with the finger
of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon
you. 21 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are
in peace: 22 But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and
overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted,
and divideth his spoils. 23 He that is not with me is against me:
and he that gathereth not with me scattereth. 24 When the unclean
spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking
rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence
I came out. 25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.
26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked
than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state
of that man is worse than the first.
27 ¶And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman
of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is
the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. 28
But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of
God, and keep it.
29 ¶And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to
say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall
no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. 30 For as
Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man
be to this generation. 31 The queen of the south shall rise up in
the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them:
for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom
of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here. 32 The
men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation,
and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas;
and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. 33 No man, when he hath
lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a
bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the
light. 34 The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine
eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine
eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. 35 Take heed therefore
that the light which is in thee be not darkness. 36 If thy whole
body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole
shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth
give thee light.
37 ¶And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with
him: and he went in, and sat down to meat. 38 And when the Pharisee
saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner.
39 And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the
outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full
of ravening and wickedness. 40 Ye fools, did not he that made that
which is without make that which is within also? 41 But rather give
alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean
unto you. 42 But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and
rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love
of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other
undone. 43 Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats
in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets. 44 Woe unto you,
scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear
not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them. 45 Then
answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying
thou reproachest us also. 46 And he said, Woe unto you also, ye
lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and
ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers. 47
Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your
fathers killed them. 48 Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the
deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build
their sepulchres. 49 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will
send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay
and persecute: 50 That the blood of all the prophets, which was
shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
51 From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished
between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall
be required of this generation. 52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye
have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves,
and them that were entering in ye hindered. 53 And as he said these
things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him
vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things: 54 Laying
wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that
they might accuse him.
