Numbers 27Numbers 28Acts 16.16-40Numbers 27
1
Then the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, came forward: their names are Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
2
They came before Moses and Eleazar the priest and the chiefs and all the people at the door of the Tent of meeting, and said,
3
Death overtook our father in the waste land he was not among those who were banded together with Korah against the Lord but death came to him in his sin and he had no sons.
4
Why is the name of our father to be taken away from among his family, because he had no son? Give us a heritage among our father's brothers.
5
So Moses put their cause before the Lord.
6
And the Lord said to Moses,
7
What the daughters of Zelophehad say is right: certainly you are to give them a heritage among their father's brothers: and let the property which would have been their father's go to them.
8
And say to the children of Israel, If a man has no son at the time of his death, let his heritage go to his daughter.
9
And if he has no daughter, then give his heritage to his brothers.
10
And if he has no brothers, then give his heritage to his father's brothers.
11
And if his father has no brothers, then give it to his nearest relation in the family, as his heritage: this is to be a decision made by law for the children of Israel, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.
12
And the Lord said to Moses, Go up into this mountain of Abarim so that you may see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.
13
And when you have seen it, you will be put to rest with your people, as your brother Aaron was:
14
Because in the waste land of Zin, when the people were angry, you and he went against my word and did not keep my name holy before their eyes, at the waters. (These are the waters of Meribah in Kadesh in the waste land of Zin.)
15
Then Moses said to the Lord,
16
Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, put a man at the head of this people,
17
To go out and come in before them and be their guide so that the people of the Lord may not be like sheep without a keeper.
18
And the Lord said to Moses, Take Joshua, the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and put your hand on him
19
And take him before Eleazar the priest and all the meeting of the people, and give him his orders before their eyes.
20
And put your honour on him, so that all the children of Israel may be under his authority.
21
He will take his place before Eleazar the priest, so that he may get directions from the Lord for him, with the Urim: at his word they will go out, and at his word they will come in, he and all the children of Israel.
22
So Moses did as the Lord said: he took Joshua and put him before Eleazar the priest and the meeting of the people:
23
And he put his hands on him and gave him his orders, as the Lord had said by Moses.
Numbers 28
1
And the Lord said to Moses,
2
Give orders to the children of Israel and say to them, Let it be your care to give me my offerings at their regular times, the food of the offerings made by fire to me for a sweet smell.
3
Say to them, This is the offering made by fire which you are to give to the Lord he-lambs of the first year without any mark, two every day as a regular burned offering.
4
Let one be offered in the morning, and the other at evening
5
And the tenth part of an ephah of the best meal for a meal offering mixed with the fourth part of a hin of clear oil.
6
It is a regular burned offering, as it was ordered in Mount Sinai, for a sweet smell, an offering made by fire to the Lord.
7
And for its drink offering take the fourth part of a hin for one lamb: in the holy place let the wine be drained out for a drink offering for the Lord.
8
Let the other lamb be offered at evening like the meal offering of the morning and its drink offering, let it be offered as an offering made by fire for a sweet smell to the Lord.
9
And on the Sabbath day, two he-lambs of the first year, without any mark, and two tenth parts of the best meal for a meal offering mixed with oil, and its drink offering:
10
This is the burned offering for every Sabbath day, in addition to the regular burned offering, and its drink offering.
11
And on the first day of every month you are to give a burned offering to the Lord two oxen, one male sheep, and seven he-lambs of the first year, without any mark
12
And three tenth parts of the best meal for a meal offering mixed with oil, for every ox and two tenth parts of the best meal for a meal offering mixed with oil, for the one sheep
13
And a separate tenth part of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering for every lamb for a burned offering of a sweet smell, an offering made by fire to the Lord.
14
And their drink offerings are to be half a hin of wine for an ox, and the third part of a hin for a male sheep, and the fourth part of a hin for a lamb: this is the burned offering for every month through all the months of the year.
15
And one he-goat for a sin-offering to the Lord it is to be offered in addition to the regular burned offering and its drink offering.
16
And in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, is the Lord's Passover.
17
On the fifteenth day of this month there is to be a feast for seven days let your food be unleavened cakes.
18
On the first day there is to be a holy meeting: you may do no sort of field-work:
19
And you are to give an offering made by fire, a burned offering to the Lord two oxen, one male sheep, and seven he-lambs of the first year, without any mark:
20
And their meal offering, the best meal mixed with oil: let three tenth parts of an ephah be offered for an ox and two tenth parts for a male sheep
21
And a separate tenth part for every one of the seven lambs
22
And one he-goat for a sin-offering to take away your sin.
23
These are to be offered in addition to the morning burned offering, which is a regular burned offering at all times.
24
In this way, every day for seven days, give the food of the offering made by fire, a sweet smell to the Lord: it is to be offered in addition to the regular burned offering, and its drink offering.
25
Then on the seventh day there will be a holy meeting you may do no field-work.
26
And at the time of the first-fruits, when you give an offering of new meal to the Lord at your feast of weeks, there is to be a holy meeting: you may do no field-work:
27
And give a burned offering for a sweet smell to the Lord two oxen, one male sheep, and seven he-lambs of the first year
28
And their meal offering, the best meal mixed with oil, three tenth parts for an ox, two tenth parts for a male sheep,
29
And a separate tenth part for every one of the seven lambs
30
And one he-goat to take away your sin.
31
These are in addition to the regular burned offering and its meal offering take care that they are without any mark, and let them be offered with their drink offerings.
Acts 16
16-40
16
And when we were going to the place of prayer, we came across a girl with a spirit which gave knowledge of the future, whose masters made great profit from her power.
17
She came after Paul and us, crying out and saying, These men are the servants of the Most High God, who are giving you news of the way of salvation.
18
And this she did on a number of days. But Paul was greatly troubled and, turning, said to the spirit, I give you orders in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out of her. And it came out that very hour.
19
But when her masters saw that their hope of profit was gone, they took Paul and Silas, pulling them into the market-place before the rulers
20
And when they had taken them before the authorities, they said, These men, who are Jews, are greatly troubling our town
21
Teaching rules of living which it is not right for us to have or to keep, being Romans.
22
And the people made an attack on them all together: and the authorities took their clothing off them, and gave orders for them to be whipped.
23
And when they had given them a great number of blows, they put them in prison, giving orders to the keeper of the prison to keep them safely:
24
And he, having such orders, put them into the inner prison with chains on their feet.
25
But about the middle of the night, Paul and Silas were making prayers and songs to God in the hearing of the prisoners
26
And suddenly there was an earth-shock, so that the base of the prison was moved: and all the doors came open, and everyone's chains came off.
27
And the keeper, coming out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, took his sword and was about to put himself to death, fearing that the prisoners had got away.
28
But Paul said in a loud voice, Do yourself no damage, for we are all here.
29
And he sent for lights and came rushing in and, shaking with fear, went down on his face before Paul and Silas,
30
And took them out and said, Sirs, what have I to do to get salvation?
31
And they said, Have faith in the Lord Jesus, and you and your family will have salvation.
32
And they gave the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.
33
And that same hour of the night, he took them, and when he had given attention to their wounds, he and all his family had baptism straight away.
34
And he took them into his house and gave them food, and he was full of joy, having faith in God with all his family.
35
But when it was day, the authorities sent the police, saying, Let these men go.
36
And the keeper said to Paul, The authorities have given orders to let you go: come out now, and go in peace.
37
But Paul said to them, They have given us who are Romans a public whipping without judging us, and have put us in prison. Will they now send us out secretly? no, truly, let them come themselves and take us out.
38
And the police gave an account of these words to the authorities, and they were full of fear on hearing that they were Romans
39
Then they came and made prayers to them, requesting them, when they had taken them out, to go away from the town.
40
And they came out of the prison and went to the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brothers they gave them comfort and went away.
