Numbers Chapter 33

³¹They traveled from Moseroth, and camped in Bene Jaakan. ³²They traveled from Bene Jaakan, and camped in Hor Haggidgad. ³³They traveled from Hor Haggidgad, and camped in Jotbathah. ³⁴They traveled from Jotbathah, and camped in Abronah. ³⁵They traveled from Abronah, and camped in Ezion Geber. ³⁶They traveled from Ezion Geber, and camped in the wilderness of Zin (also called Kadesh). ³⁷They traveled from Kadesh, and camped in Mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom. ³⁸Aaron the priest went up into Mount Hor at the Yahweh's commandment and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel had left the land of Egypt, in the fifth month, on the first day of the month. ³⁹Aaron was one hundred twenty-three years old when he died in Mount Hor. ⁴⁰The Canaanite king of Arad, who lived in the South in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel. ⁴¹They traveled from Mount Hor, and camped in Zalmonah. ⁴²They traveled from Zalmonah, and camped in Punon. ⁴³They traveled from Punon, and camped in Oboth. ⁴⁴They traveled from Oboth, and camped in Iye Abarim, in the border of Moab. ⁴⁵They traveled from Iyim, and camped in Dibon Gad. ⁴⁶They traveled from Dibon Gad, and camped in Almon Diblathaim. ⁴⁷They traveled from Almon Diblathaim, and camped in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo. ⁴⁸They traveled from the mountains of Abarim, and camped in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho. ⁴⁹They camped by the Jordan, from Beth Jeshimoth even to Abel Shittim in the plains of Moab. ⁵⁰Yahweh spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying, ⁵¹Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, "When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan, ⁵²then drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, destroy all their idols, destroy all their cast-metal images, and demolish all their high places. ⁵³You are to take possession of the land, and live in it; for I have given you the land to possess it. ⁵⁴You'll inherit the land by lot according to your families; to the larger groups give a larger inheritance, and to the smaller give a smaller inheritance. Wherever the lot falls to any man, that shall be his. You'll inherit according to the tribes of your fathers.

⁵⁵"But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then those you let remain of them will be like pricks in your eyes and thorns in your sides. They will harass you in the land in which you live. ⁵⁶As I had thought to do to them, I will do to you."

Section 2

Ezekiel 23:1-27

27 verses

Ezekiel Chapter 23

¹The word of Yahweh came again to me, saying, ²"Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother: ³and they played the prostitute in Egypt; they played the prostitute in their youth; there were their breasts pressed, and there was handled the bosom of their virginity. ⁴The names of them were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister: and they became mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.

⁵Oholah played the prostitute when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians [her] neighbors, ⁶who were clothed with blue, governors and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses. ⁷She bestowed her prostitution on them, the choicest men of Assyria all of them; and on whoever she doted, with all their idols she defiled herself. ⁸Neither has she left her prostitution since [the days of] Egypt; for in her youth they lay with her, and they handled the bosom of her virginity; and they poured out their prostitution on her.

⁹Therefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, on whom she doted. ¹⁰These uncovered her nakedness; they took her sons and her daughters; and her they killed with the sword: and she became a byword among women; for they executed judgments on her.

¹¹Her sister Oholibah saw this, yet was she more corrupt in her doting than she, and in her prostitution which were more than the prostitution of her sister. ¹²She doted on the Assyrians, governors and rulers, [her] neighbors, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men. ¹³I saw that she was defiled; they both took one way.

¹⁴She increased her prostitution; for she saw men portrayed on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion, ¹⁵dressed with girdles on their waists, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them princes to look on, after the likeness of the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their birth. ¹⁶As soon as she saw them she doted on them, and sent messengers to them into Chaldea. ¹⁷The Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their prostitution, and she was polluted with them, and her soul was alienated from them. ¹⁸So she uncovered her prostitution, and uncovered her nakedness: then my soul was alienated from her, like as my soul was alienated from her sister. ¹⁹Yet she multiplied her prostitution, remembering the days of her youth, in which she had played the prostitute in the land of Egypt. ²⁰She doted on their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of donkeys, and whose issue is like the issue of horses. ²¹Thus you called to memory the lewdness of your youth, in the handling of your bosom by the Egyptians for the breasts of your youth.

²²Therefore, Oholibah, thus says LordOfMine Yahweh: Behold, I will raise up your lovers against you, from whom your soul is alienated, and I will bring them against you on every side: ²³the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, [and] all the Assyrians with them; desirable young men, governors and rulers all of them, princes and men of renown, all of them riding on horses. ²⁴They shall come against you with weapons, chariots, and wagons, and with a group of peoples; they shall set themselves against you with buckler and shield and helmet all around; and I will commit the judgment to them, and they shall judge you according to their judgments. ²⁵I will set my jealousy against you, and they shall deal with you in fury; they shall take away your nose and your ears; and your residue shall fall by the sword: they shall take your sons and your daughters; and your residue shall be devoured by the fire. ²⁶They shall also strip you of your clothes, and take away your beautiful jewels. ²⁷Thus I will make your lewdness to cease from you, and your prostitution [brought] from the land of Egypt; so that you shall not lift up your eyes to them, nor remember Egypt any more.

Section 3

Proverbs 10:6-32

27 verses

Proverbs Chapter 10

⁶Blessings are on the head of the righteous, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked. ⁷The memory of the righteous is blessed, but the name of the wicked will rot. ⁸The wise in heart accept commandments, but a chattering fool will fall. ⁹He who walks blamelessly walks surely, but he who perverts his ways will be found out. ¹⁰One winking with the eye causes sorrow, but a chattering fool will fall. ¹¹The mouth of the righteous is a spring of life, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked. ¹²Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all wrongs. ¹³Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has discernment, but a rod is for the back of him who is void of understanding. ¹⁴Wise men store knowledge, but the mouth of the foolish is near ruin. ¹⁵The rich man's wealth is his strong city. The destruction of the poor is their poverty. ¹⁶The labor of the righteous leads to life. The increase of the wicked leads to sin. ¹⁷He is in the way of life who heeds correction, but he who forsakes reproof leads others astray. ¹⁸He who hides hatred has lying lips. He who utters a slander is a fool. ¹⁹In the multitude of words there is no lack of disobedience, but he who restrains his lips does wisely. ²⁰The tongue of the righteous is like choice silver. The heart of the wicked is of little worth. ²¹The lips of the righteous feed many, but the foolish die for lack of understanding. ²²Yahweh's blessing brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it. ²³It is a fool's pleasure to do wickedness, but wisdom is a man of understanding's pleasure. ²⁴What the wicked fear, will overtake them, but the desire of the righteous will be granted. ²⁵When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more; but the righteous stand firm forever. ²⁶As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to those who send him. ²⁷The fear of Yahweh prolongs days, but the years of the wicked shall be shortened. ²⁸The prospect of the righteous is joy, but the hope of the wicked will perish. ²⁹The way of Yahweh is a stronghold to the upright, but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity. ³⁰The righteous will never be removed, but the wicked will not dwell in the land. ³¹The mouth of the righteous produces wisdom, but the perverse tongue will be cut off. ³²The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable, but the mouth of the wicked is perverse.

Section 4

1 Timothy 1

20 verses

1 Timothy Chapter 1

¹Paul, an ambassador of AnointedOne Jesus according to the order of God our Savior, and AnointedOne Jesus our hope; ²to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and AnointedOne Jesus our Lord.

³As I urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus that you might command certain men not to teach a different doctrine, ⁴neither to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes, rather than God's stewardship, which is in faith - ⁵but the goal of this command is selfless-love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and sincere faith, ⁶from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned away to vain talking, ⁷desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor about what they strongly affirm.

⁸But we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully, ⁹as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and shortcomers, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, ¹⁰for the sexually-immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine, ¹¹according to the Good News of the glory of the happier God, which was committed to my trust.

¹²I thank him who enabled me, AnointedOne Jesus our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service; ¹³although I used to be a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. ¹⁴The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and selfless-love which is in AnointedOne Jesus. ¹⁵The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that AnointedOne Jesus came into the world to save shortcomers, of whom I am chief. ¹⁶However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first, Jesus AnointedOne might display all his patience for an example of those who were going to believe in him for eternal life. ¹⁷Now to the King eternal, permanent, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Absolutely.

¹⁸I commit this instruction to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which were given to you before, that by them you may wage the good warfare, ¹⁹holding faith and a good conscience, which some having thrust away made a shipwreck concerning the faith, ²⁰of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
