Then Elisha made a prayer to the Lord, saying, Lord, let his eyes be open so that he may see. And the Lord made the young man's eyes open and he saw that all the mountain was full of horses and carriages of fire round Elisha. 2 Kings 6.17

Numbers 20


1
In the first month all the children of Israel came into the waste land of Zin, and put up their tents in Kadesh there death came to Miriam, and they put her body to rest in the earth.
2
And there was no water for the people: and they came together against Moses and against Aaron.
3
And the people were angry with Moses and said, If only death had overtaken us when our brothers came to their death before the Lord!
4
Why have you taken the Lord's people into this waste, for death to come to us and to our cattle there?
5
Why have you made us come out of Egypt into this evil place? This is no place of seed or figs or vines or other fruits, and there is no water for drinking.
6
Then Moses and Aaron went away from the people to the door of the Tent of meeting and, falling on their faces there, they saw the glory of the Lord.
7
And the Lord said to Moses,
8
Take the rod, you and Aaron, your brother, and make all the people come together, and before their eyes give orders to the rock to give out its water and so make water come out of the rock for them, and give the people and their cattle drink.
9
And Moses took the rod from before the Lord as he gave him orders.
10
Then Moses and Aaron made the people come together in front of the rock, and he said to them, Give ear now, you people whose hearts are turned from the Lord are we to get water for you out of the rock?
11
And lifting up his hand, Moses gave the rock two blows with his rod: and water came streaming out, and the people and their cattle had drink enough.
12
Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, Because you had not enough faith in me to keep my name holy before the children of Israel, you will not take this people into the land which I have given them.
13
These are the waters of Meribah because the children of Israel went against the Lord, and they saw that he was holy among them.
14
Then Moses sent men from Kadesh to the king of Edom to say to him, Your brother Israel says, You have knowledge of all the things we have been through
15
How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we were living in Egypt for a long time and the Egyptians were cruel to us and to our fathers:
16
And the Lord gave ear to the voice of our cry, and sent an angel and took us out of Egypt: and now we are in Kadesh, a town on the edge of your land
17
Let us now go through your land: we will not go into field or vine-garden, or take the water of the springs we will go by the highway, not turning to the right or to the left, till we have gone past the limits of your land.
18
And Edom said, You are not to go through my land, for if you do I will come out against you with the sword.
19
And the children of Israel said to him, We will go up by the highway: and if we or our cattle take of your water, we will give you a price for it: only let us go through on our feet, nothing more.
20
But he said, You are not to go through. And Edom came out against them in his strength, with a great army.
21
So Edom would not let Israel go through his land and Israel went in another direction.
22
And they went on from Kadesh, and came, with all their people, to Mount Hor.
23
And at Mount Hor, at the edge of the land of Edom, the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
24
Aaron will be put to rest with his people he will not go into the land which I have given to the children of Israel, because you went against my word at the waters of Meribah.
25
So take Aaron and Eleazar, his son, up into Mount Hor
26
And take Aaron's robes off him and put them on Eleazar, his son: and death will come to Aaron there, and he will be put to rest with his people.
27
So Moses did as the Lord had said, and before the eyes of all the people they went up Mount Hor.
28
And Moses took off Aaron's robes, and put them on Eleazar, his son and there on the top of the mountain death came to Aaron: then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.
29
And when the people saw that Aaron was dead, all the children of Israel gave themselves up to weeping for him for thirty days.

Numbers 21


1
And it came to the ears of the Canaanite, the king of Arad, living in the South, that Israel was coming by the way of Atharim, and he came out against them and took some of them prisoners.
2
Then Israel made an oath to the Lord, and said, If you will give up this people into my hands, then I will send complete destruction on all their towns.
3
And the Lord, in answer to the voice of Israel, gave the Canaanites up to them and they put them and their towns completely to destruction: and that place was named Hormah.
4
Then they went on from Mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, going round the land of Edom: and the spirit of the people was overcome with weariness on the way.
5
And crying out against God and against Moses, they said, Why have you taken us out of Egypt to come to our death in the waste land? For there is no bread and no water, and this poor bread is disgusting to us.
6
Then the Lord sent poison-snakes among the people and their bites were a cause of death to numbers of the people of Israel.
7
Then the people came to Moses and said, We have done wrong in crying out against the Lord and against you: make prayer to the Lord to take away the snakes from us. So Moses made prayer for the people.
8
And the Lord said to Moses, Make an image of a snake and put it on a rod, and anyone who has been wounded by the snakes, looking on it will be made well.
9
So Moses made a snake of brass and put it on a rod and anyone who had a snakebite, after looking on the snake of brass, was made well.
10
Then the children of Israel went on and put up their tents in Oboth.
11
And journeying on again from Oboth, they put up their tents in Iye-abarim, in the waste land before Moab looking east.
12
And moving on from there, they put up their tents in the valley of Zered.
13
From there they went on and put up their tents on the other side of the Arnon, which is on the waste land at the edge of the land of the Amorites for the Arnon is the line of division between Moab and the Amorites:
14
As it says in the book of the Wars of the Lord, Vaheb in Suphah, and the valley of the Amon
15
The slope of the valleys going down to the tents of Ar and touching the edge of Moab.
16
From there they went on to Beer, the water-spring of which the Lord said to Moses, Make the people come together and I will give them water.
17
Then Israel gave voice to this song: Come up, O water-spring, let us make a song to it:
18
The fountain made by the chiefs, made deep by the great ones of the people, with the law-givers' rod, and with their sticks. Then from the waste land they went on to Mattanah:
19
And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:
20
And from Bamoth to the valley in the open country of Moab, and to the top of Pisgah looking over Jeshimon.
21
And Israel sent men to Sihon, king of the Amorites, saying,
22
Let me go through your land: we will not go into field or vine-garden, or take the water of the springs we will go by the highway till we have gone past the limits of your land.
23
And Sihon would not let Israel go through his land but got all his people together and went out against Israel into the waste land, as far as Jahaz, to make war on Israel.
24
But Israel overcame him, and took all his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as the country of the children of Ammon, for the country of the children of Ammon was strongly armed.
25
And Israel took all their towns, living in Heshbon and all the towns and small places of the Amorites.
26
For Heshbon was the town of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who had made war against an earlier king of Moab and taken from him all his land as far as the Arnon.
27
So the makers of wise sayings say, Come to Heshbon, building up the town of Sihon and making it strong:
28
For a fire has gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the town of Sihon: for the destruction of Ar in Moab, and the lords of the high places of the Arnon.
29
Sorrow is yours, O Moab! Destruction is your fate, O people of Chemosh: his sons have gone in flight, and his daughters are prisoners, in the hands of Sihon, king of the Amorites.
30
They are wounded with our arrows destruction has come on Heshbon, even to Dibon and we have made the land waste as far as Nophah, stretching out to Medeba.
31
So Israel put up their tents in the land of the Amorites.
32
And Moses sent men secretly to Jazer, and they took its towns, driving out the Amorites who were living there.
33
Then turning they went up by the way of Bashan and Og, king of Bashan, went out against them with all his people, to the fight at Edrei.
34
And the Lord said to Moses, Have no fear of him: for I have given him up into your hands, with all his people and his land do to him as you did to Sihon, king of the Amorites, at Heshbon.
35
So they overcame him and his sons and his people, driving them all out: and they took his land for their heritage.

Acts 15

1-21
1
Now certain men came down from Judaea, teaching the brothers and saying that without circumcision, after the rule of Moses, there is no salvation.
2
And after Paul and Barnabas had had no little argument and discussion with them, the brothers made a decision to send Paul and Barnabas and certain others of them to the Apostles and the rulers of the church at Jerusalem about this question.
3
So they, being sent on their way by the church, went through Phoenicia and Samaria, giving news of the salvation of the Gentiles, to the great joy of all the brothers.
4
And when they came to Jerusalem, they had a meeting with the church and the Apostles and the rulers, and they gave an account of all the things which God had done through them.
5
But some of the Pharisees, who were of the faith, got up and said, It is necessary for these to have circumcision and to keep the law of Moses.
6
And the Apostles and the rulers of the church came together and gave thought to the question.
7
And when there had been much discussion, Peter got up and said to them, My brothers, you have knowledge that some time back it was God's pleasure that by my mouth the good news might be given to the Gentiles so that they might have faith.
8
And God, the searcher of hearts, was a witness to them, giving them the Holy Spirit even as he did to us
9
Making no division between them and us, but making clean their hearts by faith.
10
Why then are you testing God, by putting on the neck of the disciples a yoke so hard that not even our fathers or we were strong enough for it?
11
But we have faith that we will get salvation through the grace of the Lord Jesus in the same way as they.
12
And all the people were quiet while Barnabas and Paul gave an account of the signs and wonders which God had done among the Gentiles by them.
13
And when they had come to an end, James, answering, said, My brothers, give ear to me:
14
Symeon has given an account of how God was first pleased to take from among the Gentiles a people for himself.
15
And this is in agreement with the words of the prophets, as it is said,
16
After these things I will come back, and will put up the tent of David which has been broken down, building up again its broken parts and making it complete:
17
So that the rest of men may make search for the Lord, and all the Gentiles on whom my name is named,
18
Says the Lord, who has made these things clear from the earliest times.
19
For this reason my decision is, that we do not put trouble in the way of those who from among the Gentiles are turned to God
20
But that we give them orders to keep themselves from things offered to false gods, and from the evil desires of the body, and from the flesh of animals put to death in ways against the law, and from blood.
21
For Moses, from times long past, has his preachers in every town, reading his law in the Synagogues every Sabbath.
