1
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
25 I
2
It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
9 I
3
As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.
12 I
Numbers 13
1
And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
10 I
2
Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them.
10 I
3
And Moses by the commandment of the Lord sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all those men were heads of the children of Israel.
10 I
4
And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.
10 I
5
Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.
10 I
6
Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
10 I
7
Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.
10 I
8
Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun.
10 I
9
Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.
10 I
10
Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.
10 I
11
Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi.
10 I
12
Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.
10 I
13
Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.
10 I
14
Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.
10 I
15
Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
10 I
16
These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.
10 I
17
And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain:
10 I
18
And see the land, what it is, and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many;
10 I
19
And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds;
10 I
20
And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the firstripe grapes.
10 I
21
So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.
10 I
22
And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
10 I
23
And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
10 I
24
The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
10 I
25
And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.
10 I
26
And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land.
10 I
27
And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
9 I
28
Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.
10 I
29
The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.
10 I
30
And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
10 I
31
But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.
10 I
32
And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.
10 I
33
And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
10 I
Numbers 14
1
And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.
10 I
2
And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!
10 I
3
And wherefore hath the Lord brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?
10 I
4
And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.
10 I
5
Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.
10 I
6
And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:
10 I
7
And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.
10 I
8
If the Lord delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.
16 I
9
Only rebel not ye against the Lord, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the Lord is with us: fear them not.
12 I
10
But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of the Lord appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel.
10 I
11
And the Lord said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have shewed among them?
12 I
12
I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.
10 I
13
And Moses said unto the Lord, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;)
10 I
14
And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that thou Lord art among this people, that thou Lord art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.
12 I
15
Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,
10 I
16
Because the Lord was not able to bring this people into the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness.
10 I
17
And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,
10 I
18
The Lord is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.
12 I
19
Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.
12 I
20
And the Lord said, I have pardoned according to thy word:
11 I
21
But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord.
10 I
22
Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;
10 I
23
Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:
10 I
24
But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.
14 I
25
(Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) Tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
10 I
26
And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
10 I
27
How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.
10 I
28
Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the Lord, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:
13 I
29
Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward which have murmured against me.
10 I
30
Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
12 I
31
But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.
10 I
32
But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness.
10 I
33
And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.
10 I
34
After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.
12 I
35
I the Lord have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
10 I
36
And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander upon the land,
10 I
37
Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the Lord.
10 I
38
But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of the men that went to search the land, lived still.
12 I
39
And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.
10 I
40
And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place which the Lord hath promised: for we have sinned.
10 I
41
And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the Lord? but it shall not prosper.
10 I
42
Go not up, for the Lord is not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies.
10 I
43
For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the Lord, therefore the Lord will not be with you.
10 I
44
But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.
10 I
45
Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even unto Hormah.
10 I
Isaiah 52
13
Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.
2 I
14
As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:
15
So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.
Isaiah 53
1
Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
14 I
2
For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
14 I
3
He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
15 I
4
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
20 I
5
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
45 I
6
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
20 I
7
He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
13 I
8
He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
14 I
9
And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
7 I
10
Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
8 I
11
He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
10 I
12
Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
8 I
1 Thessalonians 1
1
Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2
We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;
4 I
3
Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;
25 I
4
Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.
8 I
5
For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
9 I
6
And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost.
17 I
7
So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.
8
For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.
9
For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;
10
And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
8 I
