Numbers 34
Num
34:1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
Num 34:2 Command the children of Israel, and say unto
them, When ye come into the land of Canaan; (this is
the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:)
Num 34:3 Then your south quarter shall be from the
wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom, and
your south border shall be the outermost coast of the salt sea eastward:
Num 34:4 And your border shall turn from the south to
the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to
Kadesh-barnea, and shall go on to Hazar-addar,
and pass on to Azmon:
Num 34:5 And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the goings out of it
shall be at the sea.
Num 34:6 And as
for the western border, ye shall even
have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border.
Num 34:7 And this shall be your north border: from the
great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor:
Num 34:8 From mount Hor ye
shall point out your border unto the entrance of Hamath;
and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad:
Num 34:9 And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazar-enan: this shall be your north border.
Num 34:10 And ye shall point out your east border from Hazar-enan to Shepham:
Num 34:11 And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east
side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the side of the
sea of Chinnereth eastward:
Num 34:12 And the border shall go down to Jordan, and
the goings out of it shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the
coasts thereof round about.
Num 34:13 And Moses commanded the children of Israel,
saying, This is the land which ye shall
inherit by lot, which the LORD commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to
the half tribe:
Num 34:14 For the tribe of the children of Reuben
according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad
according to the house of their fathers, have received their inheritance;
and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance:
Num 34:15 The two tribes and the half tribe have
received their inheritance on this side Jordan near
Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.
Num 34:16 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
Num 34:17 These are
the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar
the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.
Num 34:18 And ye shall take one prince of every tribe,
to divide the land by inheritance.

Numbers 35
Num
35:1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses in the plains
of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,
Num 35:2 Command the children of Israel, that they
give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell
in; and ye shall give also unto the
Levites suburbs for the cities round about them.
Num 35:3 And the cities shall they have to dwell in;
and the suburbs of them shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for
all their beasts.
Num 35:4 And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall
give unto the Levites, shall reach from the wall of the city and outward a
thousand cubits round about.
Num 35:5 And ye shall measure from without the city on
the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits,
and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand
cubits; and the city shall be in the midst: this shall be to them the
suburbs of the cities.
Num 35:6 And among the cities which ye shall give unto
the Levites there shall be
six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may
flee thither: and to them ye shall add forty and two cities.
Num 35:7 So all
the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall
be forty and eight cities: them shall ye give with their suburbs.
Num 35:8 And the cities which ye shall give shall be
of the possession of the children of Israel: from them
that have
many ye shall give many; but from them that have
few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities unto the Levites
according to his inheritance which he inheriteth.
Num 35:9 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
Num 35:10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say
unto them, When ye be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
Num 35:11 Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities
of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth
any person at unawares.
Num 35:12 And they shall be unto you cities for refuge
from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the
congregation in judgment.
Num 35:13 And of these cities which ye shall give six
cities shall ye have for refuge.
Num 35:14 Ye shall give three cities on this side
Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities of refuge.
Num 35:15 These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of Israel, and for the
stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that killeth any person unawares may flee thither.
Num 35:16 And if he smite him with an instrument of
iron, so that he die, he is a murderer:
the murderer shall surely be put to death.
Num 35:17 And if he smite him with throwing a stone,
wherewith he may die, and he die, he is
a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
Num 35:18 Or if
he smite him with a hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put
to death.
Num 35:19 The revenger of
blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth
him, he shall slay him.
Num 35:20 But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at
him by laying of wait, that he die;
Num 35:21 Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he
die: he that smote him shall surely be
put to death; for he is a murderer: the revenger
of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth
him.
Num 35:22 But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity,
or have cast upon him any thing without laying of wait,
Num 35:23 Or with any stone, wherewith a man may die,
seeing him not, and cast it upon him, that he die, and was not his enemy, neither sought his harm:
Num 35:24 Then the congregation shall judge between the
slayer and the revenger of blood according to these
judgments:
Num 35:25 And the congregation shall deliver the slayer
out of the hand of the revenger of blood, and the
congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge, whither he was fled:
and he shall abide in it unto the death of the high priest, which was anointed
with the holy oil.
Num 35:26 But if the slayer shall at any time come
without the border of the city of his refuge, whither he was fled;
Num 35:27 And the revenger of
blood find him without the borders of the city of his refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty
of blood:
Num 35:28 Because he should have remained in the city
of his refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the
high priest the slayer shall return into the land of his possession.
Num 35:29 So these things
shall be for a statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations in all
your dwellings.
Num 35:30 Whoso killeth any
person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one
witness shall not testify against any person to
cause him
to die.
Num 35:31 Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for
the life of a murderer, which is guilty
of death: but he shall be surely put to death.
Num 35:32 And ye shall take no satisfaction for him
that is fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in
the land, until the death of the priest.
Num 35:33 So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth
the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein,
but by the blood of him that shed it.
Num 35:34 Defile not therefore the land which ye shall
inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel.
Numbers 36
Num
36:1 And the chief fathers of the families of the
children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of
Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spoke before
Moses, and before the princes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel:
Num 36:2 And they said, The LORD commanded my lord to
give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord
was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad
our brother unto his daughters.
Num 36:3 And if they be married to any of the sons of
the other tribes of the children of
Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our
fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are
received: so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance.
Num 36:4 And when the jubilee of the children of
Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of
the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall their inheritance be taken away
from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.
Num 36:5 And Moses commanded the children of Israel
according to the word of the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath
said well.
Num 36:6 This is
the thing which the LORD doth command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best;
only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry.
Num 36:7 So shall not the inheritance of the children
of Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel
shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
Num 36:8 And every daughter, that possesseth
an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one
of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy
every man the inheritance of his fathers.
Num 36:9 Neither shall the inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe; but every one of the
tribes of the children of Israel shall keep himself to his own inheritance.
Num 36:10 Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the
daughters of Zelophehad:
Num 36:11 For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad,
were married unto their father's brothers' sons:
Num 36:12 And
they were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph,
and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.
Num 36:13 These are
the commandments and the judgments, which the LORD commanded by the hand of
Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.
John 6
Joh 6:1 After these things Jesus went over the sea of
Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.
Joh 6:2 And a great multitude followed him, because
they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.
Joh 6:3 And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there
he sat with his disciples.
Joh 6:4 And the passover, a
feast of the Jews, was nigh.
Joh 6:5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him,
he saith unto Philip, Whence
shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
Joh 6:6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself
knew what he would do.
Joh 6:7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth
of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.
Joh 6:8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's
brother, saith unto him,
Joh 6:9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley
loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?
Joh 6:10 And Jesus said, Make
the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So
the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
Joh 6:11 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had
given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that
were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.
Joh 6:12 When they were filled, he said unto his
disciples, Gather up the
fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.
Joh 6:13 Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the
fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them
that had eaten.
Joh 6:14 Then those men, when they had seen the
miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come
into the world.
Joh 6:15 When Jesus therefore perceived that they
would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a
mountain himself alone.
Joh 6:16 And when even was now
come, his disciples went down unto the sea,
Joh 6:17 And entered into a ship, and went over the
sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.
Joh 6:18 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind
that blew.
Joh 6:19 So when they had rowed about five and twenty
or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto
the ship: and they were afraid.
Joh 6:20 But he saith unto
them, It is I; be not afraid.
Joh 6:21 Then they willingly received him into the
ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.
Joh 6:22 The day following, when the people which
stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there,
save that one whereinto his disciples were entered,
and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone;
Joh 6:23 (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread,
after that the Lord had given thanks:)
Joh 6:24 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was
not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to
Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.
Joh 6:25 And when they had found him on the other side
of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest
thou hither?
Joh 6:26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.
Joh 6:27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
Joh 6:28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do,
that we might work the works of God?
Joh 6:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
Joh 6:30 They said therefore unto him, What sign showest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what
dost thou work?
Joh 6:31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as
it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
Joh 6:32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth
you the true bread from heaven.
Joh 6:33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down
from heaven, and giveth
life unto the world.
Joh 6:34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give
us this bread.
Joh 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
Joh 6:36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
Joh 6:37 All that the Father giveth
me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
Joh 6:38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
Joh 6:39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again
at the last day.
Joh 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
Joh 6:41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he
said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.
Joh 6:42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of
Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?
Joh 6:43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
Joh 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
Joh 6:45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard,
and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
Joh 6:46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.
Joh 6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
Joh 6:48 I am that bread of life.
Joh 6:49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
Joh 6:50 This is the bread which cometh down
from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
Joh 6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
Joh 6:52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves,
saying, How can this man give us his
flesh to eat?
Joh 6:53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
Joh 6:54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
Joh 6:55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
Joh 6:56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
Joh 6:57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
Joh 6:58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live forever.
Joh 6:59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he
taught in Capernaum.
Joh 6:60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they
had heard this, said, This is a hard
saying; who can hear it?
Joh 6:61 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples
murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?
Joh 6:62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
Joh 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth
nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
Joh 6:64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus
knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray
him.
Joh 6:65 And he said, Therefore
said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
Joh 6:66 From that time
many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
Joh 6:67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
Joh 6:68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom
shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
Joh 6:69 And we believe and are sure that thou art
that Christ, the Son of the living God.
Joh 6:70 Jesus answered them, Have
not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?
Joh 6:71 He spake of Judas
Iscariot the son
of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.
