Numbers 33:1–34:29

1And these are the stages of the children of Israel, as they went out from the land of Egypt with their host by the hand of Moses and Aaron. 2And Moses wrote their removals and their stages, by the word of the Lord: and these are the stages of their journeying. 3They departed from Ramesses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the day after the passover the children of Israel went forth with a high hand before all the Egyptians. 4And the Egyptians buried those that died of them, even all that the Lord smote, every first-born in the land of Egypt; also the Lord executed vengeance on their gods. 5And the children of Israel departed from Ramesses, and encamped in Socchoth: 6and they departed from Socchoth and encamped in Buthan, which is a part of the wilderness. 7And they departed from Buthan and encamped at the mouth of Iroth, which is opposite Beel-sepphon, and encamped opposite Magdol. 8And they departed from before Iroth, and crossed the middle of the sea into the wilderness; and they went a journey of three days through the wilderness, and encamped in Picriæ. 9And they departed from Picriæ, and came to Ælim; and in Ælim [were] twelve fountains of water, and seventy palm-trees, and they encamped there by the water. 10And they departed from Ælim, and encamped by the Red Sea. 11And they departed from the Red Sea, and encamped in the wilderness of Sin. 12And they departed from the wilderness of Sin, and encamped in Raphaca. 13And they departed from Raphaca, and encamped in Ælus. 14And they departed from Ælus, and encamped in Raphidin; and there was no water there for the people to drink. 15And they departed from Raphidin, and encamped in the wilderness of Sina. 16And they departed from the wilderness of Sina, and encamped at the Graves of Lust. 17And they departed from the Graves of Lust, and encamped in Aseroth. 18And they departed from Aseroth, and encamped in Rathama. 19And they departed from Rathama, and encamped in Remmon Phares. 20And they departed from Remmon Phares, and encamped in Lebona. 21And they departed from Lebona, and encamped in Ressan. 22And they departed from Ressan, and encamped in Makellath. 23And they departed from Makellath, and encamped in Saphar. 24And they departed from Saphar, and encamped in Charadath. 25And they departed from Charadath, and encamped in Makeloth. 26And they departed from Makeloth, and encamped in Kataath. 27And they departed from Kataath, and encamped in Tarath. 28And they departed from Tarath, and encamped in Mathecca. 29And they departed from Mathecca, and encamped in Selmona. 30And they departed from Selmona, and encamped in Masuruth. 31And they departed from Masuruth, and encamped in Banæa. 32And they departed from Banæa, and encamped in the mountain Gadgad. 33And they departed from the mountain Gadgad, and encamped in Etebatha. 34And they departed from Etebatha, and encamped in Ebrona. 35And they departed from Ebrona, and encamped in Gesion Gaber. 36And they departed from Gesion Gaber, and encamped in the wilderness of Sin; and they departed from the wilderness of Sin, and encamped in the wilderness of Pharan; this is Cades. 37And they departed from Cades, and encamped in mount Or near the land of Edom. 38And Aaron the priest went up by the command of the Lord, and died there in the fortieth year of the departure of the children of Israel from the land of Egypt, in the fifth month, on the first [day] of the month. 39And Aaron was a hundred and twenty-three years old, when he died in mount Or. 40And Arad the Chananitish king (he too dwelt in the land of Chanaan) having heard when the children of Israel were entering [the land]— 41then they departed from mount Or, and encamped in Selmona. 42And they departed from Selmona, and encamped in Phino. 43And they departed from Phino, and encamped in Oboth. 44And they departed from Oboth, and encamped in Gai, on the other side [Jordan] on the borders of Moab. 45And they departed from Gai, and encamped in Dæbon Gad. 46And they departed from Dæbon Gad, and encamped in Gelmon Deblathaim. 47And they departed from Gelmon Deblathaim, and encamped on the mountains of Abarim, over against Nabau. 48And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and encamped on the west of Moab, at Jordan by Jericho. 49And they encamped by Jordan between Æsimoth, as far as Belsa to the west of Moab. 50And the Lord spoke to Moses at the west of Moab by Jordan at Jericho, saying, 51Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, Ye are to pass over Jordan into the land of Chanaan. 52And ye shall destroy all that dwell in the land before your face, and ye shall abolish their high places, and all their molten images ye shall destroy, and ye shall demolish all their pillars. 53And ye shall destroy all the inhabitants of the land, and ye shall dwell in it, for I have given their land to you for an inheritance. 54And ye shall inherit their land according to your tribes; to the greater number ye shall give the larger possession, and to the smaller ye shall give the less possession; to whatsoever [part] a man's name shall go forth [by lot], there shall be his [property]: ye shall inherit according to the tribes of your families. 55But if ye will not destroy the dwellers in the land from before you, then it shall come to pass that whomsoever of them ye shall leave shall be thorns in your eyes, and darts in your sides, and they shall be enemies to you on the land on which ye shall dwell; 56and it shall come to pass that as I had determined to do to them, so I will do to you. Chapter 341And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2Charge the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, Ye are entering into the land of Chanaan: it shall be to you for an inheritance, the land of Chanaan with its boundaries. 3And your southern side shall be from the wilderness of Sin to the border of Edom, and your border southward shall extend on the side of the salt sea eastward. 4And your border shall go round you from the south to the ascent of Acrabin, and shall proceed by Ennac, and the going forth of it shall be southward to Cades Barne, and it shall go forth to the village of Arad, and shall proceed by Asemona. 5And the border shall compass from Asemona to the river of Egypt, and the sea shall be the termination. 6And ye shall have your border on the west, the great sea shall be the boundary: this shall be to you the border on the west. 7And this shall be your northern border; from the great sea ye shall measure to yourselves, by the side of the mountain. 8And ye shall measure to yourselves the mountain from mount [Hor] at the entering in to Emath, and the termination of it shall be the coasts of Saradac. 9And the border shall go out to Dephrona, and its termination shall be at Arsenain; this shall be your border from the north. 10And ye shall measure to yourselves the eastern border from Arsenain to Sepphamar. 11And the border shall go down from Sepphamar to Bela eastward to the fountains, and the border shall go down from Bela behind the sea Chenereth eastward. 12And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the termination shall be the salt sea; this shall be your land and its borders round about. 13And Moses charged the children of Israel, saying, This [is] the land which ye shall inherit by lot, even as the Lord commanded us to give it to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasse. 14For the tribe of the children of Ruben, and the tribe of the children of Gad have received [their inheritance] according to their families; and the half-tribe of Manasse have received their inheritances. 15Two tribes and half a tribe have received their inheritance beyond Jordan by Jericho from the south eastwards. 16And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 17These [are] the names of the men who shall divide the land to you for an inheritance; Eleazar the priest and Joshua the [son] of Naue. 18And ye shall take one ruler from [each] tribe to divide the land to you by lot. 19And these [are] the names of the men; of the tribe of Juda, Chaleb the son of Jephonne. 20Of the tribe of Symeon, Salamiel the son of Semiud. 21Of the tribe of Benjamin, Eldad the son of Chaslon. 22Of the tribe of Dan the prince [was] Bacchir the son of Egli. 23Of the sons of Joseph of the tribe of the sons of Manasse, the prince was Aniel the son of Suphi. 24Of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, the prince was Camuel the son of Sabathan. 25Of the tribe of Zabulon, the prince was Elisaphan the son of Pharnac. 26Of the tribe of the sons of Issachar, the prince was Phaltiel the son of Oza. 27Of the tribe of the children of Aser, the prince was Achior the son of Selemi. 28Of the tribe of Nephthali, the prince was Phadael the son of Jamiud. 29These did the Lord command to distribute [the inheritances] to the children of Israel in the land of Chanaan.

MT Psalm 35 = LXX Psalm 34 (standard offset).

9They shall be fully satisfied with the fatness of thine house; and thou shalt cause them to drink of the full stream of thy delights. 10For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light we shall see light. 11Extend thy mercy to them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart. 12Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of sinners move me. 13There have all the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast out, and shall not be able to stand.

Proverbs 12:2

2He that has found favour with the Lord [is made] better; but a transgressor shall be passed over in silence.
New TestamentKing James Version

Mark 15:1–24

1And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate. 2And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest it. 3And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing. 4And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee. 5But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled. 6Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired. 7And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection. 8And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them. 9But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews? 10For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy. 11But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them. 12And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews? 13And they cried out again, Crucify him. 14Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him. 15And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified. 16And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Pretorium; and they call together the whole band. 17And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head, 18And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews! 19And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him. 20And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him. 21And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross. 22And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull. 23And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not. 24And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.
