1 ¶And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 2 Take
the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after
their families, by the house of their fathers, 3 From thirty years
old and upward even until fifty years old, all that enter into the
host, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation. 4 This
shall be the service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of
the congregation, about the most holy things: 5 And when the camp
setteth forward, Aaron shall come, and his sons, and they shall
take down the covering vail, and cover the ark of testimony with
it: 6 And shall put thereon the covering of badgers' skins, and
shall spread over it a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put in the
staves thereof. 7 And upon the table of shewbread they shall spread
a cloth of blue, and put thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and
the bowls, and covers to cover withal: and the continual bread shall
be thereon: 8 And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet,
and cover the same with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall
put in the staves thereof. 9 And they shall take a cloth of blue,
and cover the candlestick of the light, and his lamps, and his tongs,
and his snuffdishes, and all the oil vessels thereof, wherewith
they minister unto it: 10 And they shall put it and all the vessels
thereof within a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put it upon
a bar. 11 And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of
blue, and cover it with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall
put to the staves thereof: 12 And they shall take all the instruments
of ministry, wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, and put them
in a cloth of blue, and cover them with a covering of badgers' skins,
and shall put them on a bar: 13 And they shall take away the ashes
from the altar, and spread a purple cloth thereon: 14 And they shall
put upon it all the vessels thereof, wherewith they minister about
it, even the censers, the fleshhooks, and the shovels, and the basons,
all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread upon it a covering
of badgers' skins, and put to the staves of it. 15 And when Aaron
and his sons have made an end of covering the sanctuary, and all
the vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp is to set forward; after
that, the sons of Kohath shall come to bear it: but they shall not
touch any holy thing, lest they die. These things are the burden
of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation. 16
And to the office of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest pertaineth
the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the daily meat
offering, and the anointing oil, and the oversight of all the tabernacle,
and of all that therein is, in the sanctuary, and in the vessels
thereof. 17 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
18 Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from
among the Levites: 19 But thus do unto them, that they may live,
and not die, when they approach unto the most holy things: Aaron
and his sons shall go in, and appoint them every one to his service
and to his burden: 20 But they shall not go in to see when the holy
things are covered, lest they die.
21 ¶And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 22 Take also the sum
of the sons of Gershon, throughout the houses of their fathers,
by their families; 23 From thirty years old and upward until fifty
years old shalt thou number them; all that enter in to perform the
service, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation. 24
This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, to serve,
and for burdens: 25 And they shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle,
and the tabernacle of the congregation, his covering, and the covering
of the badgers' skins that is above upon it, and the hanging for
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, 26 And the hangings
of the court, and the hanging for the door of the gate of the court,
which is by the tabernacle and by the altar round about, and their
cords, and all the instruments of their service, and all that is
made for them: so shall they serve. 27 At the appointment of Aaron
and his sons shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershonites,
in all their burdens, and in all their service: and ye shall appoint
unto them in charge all their burdens. 28 This is the service of
the families of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation:
and their charge shall be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron
the priest. 29 As for the sons of Merari, thou shalt number them
after their families, by the house of their fathers; 30 From thirty
years old and upward even unto fifty years old shalt thou number
them, every one that entereth into the service, to do the work of
the tabernacle of the congregation. 31 And this is the charge of
their burden, according to all their service in the tabernacle of
the congregation; the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof,
and the pillars thereof, and sockets thereof, 32 And the pillars
of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and
their cords, with all their instruments, and with all their service:
and by name ye shall reckon the instruments of the charge of their
burden. 33 This is the service of the families of the sons of Merari,
according to all their service, in the tabernacle of the congregation,
under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
34 ¶And Moses and Aaron and the chief of the congregation numbered
the sons of the Kohathites after their families, and after the house
of their fathers, 35 From thirty years old and upward even unto
fifty years old, every one that entereth into the service, for the
work in the tabernacle of the congregation: 36 And those that were
numbered of them by their families were two thousand seven hundred
and fifty. 37 These were they that were numbered of the families
of the Kohathites, all that might do service in the tabernacle of
the congregation, which Moses and Aaron did number according to
the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses. 38 And those that
were numbered of the sons of Gershon, throughout their families,
and by the house of their fathers, 39 From thirty years old and
upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entereth into the
service, for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation, 40
Even those that were numbered of them, throughout their families,
by the house of their fathers, were two thousand and six hundred
and thirty. 41 These are they that were numbered of the families
of the sons of Gershon, of all that might do service in the tabernacle
of the congregation, whom Moses and Aaron did number according to
the commandment of the LORD. 42 And those that were numbered of
the families of the sons of Merari, throughout their families, by
the house of their fathers, 43 From thirty years old and upward
even unto fifty years old, every one that entereth into the service,
for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation, 44 Even those
that were numbered of them after their families, were three thousand
and two hundred. 45 These be those that were numbered of the families
of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to
the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses. 46 All those that were
numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron and the chief of Israel
numbered, after their families, and after the house of their fathers,
47 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every
one that came to do the service of the ministry, and the service
of the burden in the tabernacle of the congregation, 48 Even those
that were numbered of them, were eight thousand and five hundred
and fourscore. 49 According to the commandment of the LORD they
were numbered by the hand of Moses, every one according to his service,
and according to his burden: thus were they numbered of him, as
the LORD commanded Moses.

Proverbs

1 ¶The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel; 2 To
know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;
3 To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and
equity; 4 To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge
and discretion. 5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning;
and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: 6 To
understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise,
and their dark sayings.
7 ¶The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools
despise wisdom and instruction. 8 My son, hear the instruction of
thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother: 9 For they shall
be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.
10 ¶My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not. 11 If they
say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily
for the innocent without cause: 12 Let us swallow them up alive
as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit: 13
We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with
spoil: 14 Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse: 15
My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from
their path: 16 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed
blood. 17 Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
18 And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for
their own lives. 19 So are the ways of every one that is greedy
of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
20 ¶Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:
21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of
the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying, 22 How long,
ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight
in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? 23 Turn you at my reproof:
behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my
words unto you. 24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have
stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; 25 But ye have set at
nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: 26 I also will
laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; 27 When
your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a
whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. 28 Then shall
they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early,
but they shall not find me: 29 For that they hated knowledge, and
did not choose the fear of the LORD: 30 They would none of my counsel:
they despised all my reproof. 31 Therefore shall they eat of the
fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. 32
For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity
of fools shall destroy them. 33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall
dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

Luke
15

1 ¶Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to
hear him. 2 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This
man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. 3 And he spake this
parable unto them, saying, 4 What man of you, having an hundred
sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine
in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find
it? 5 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders,
rejoicing. 6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends
and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found
my sheep which was lost. 7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall
be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety
and nine just persons, which need no repentance. 8 Either what woman
having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light
a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find
it? 9 And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her
neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the
piece which I had lost. 10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy
in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
11 ¶And he said, A certain man had two sons: 12 And the younger
of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods
that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. 13 And
not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took
his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with
riotous living. 14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty
famine in that land; and he began to be in want. 15 And he went
and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him
into his fields to feed swine. 16 And he would fain have filled
his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave
unto him. 17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired
servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish
with hunger! 18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto
him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, 19 And
am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired
servants. 20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was
yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and
ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. 21 And the son said unto
him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and
am no more worthy to be called thy son. 22 But the father said to
his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and
put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: 23 And bring hither
the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: 24 For
this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.
And they began to be merry. 25 Now his elder son was in the field:
and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.
26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things
meant. 27 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father
hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and
sound. 28 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came
his father out, and intreated him. 29 And he answering said to his
father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed
I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid,
that I might make merry with my friends: 30 But as soon as this
thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou
hast killed for him the fatted calf. 31 And he said unto him, Son,
thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine. 32 It was meet
that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was
dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
