Today's Readings and Stuff -- Saturday, 28 February 2015
VERY brief,sorry.
Took Dear Wife in to clinic yesterday for an "infusion" of something to treat her osteoporosis. As a result of that, she's been desperately sick since the drive home, was horribly sick all night and very little better now. And of course, it's a weekend. I called the Dr.'s "service", they put me on hold and tracked her down more than 1200 miles away. She gave instructions, which we are following and which seem to be somewhat effective. The info that the clinic was supposed to have provided us, wasn't, which has not helped.
So as the full-time caregiver, I have to give short shrift today, sorry.
And to make it worse, the Bible reading schedule I use has us double up due to February having 28 days this year, not 29. So it's lengthy here, sorry.
====================================
Today, chapters 21 - 25 of the book of Numbers
1
|
And
when king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south, heard tell that
Israel came by the way of the spies; then he fought against Israel, and
took some of them prisoners.
|
2
|
And
Israel vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver
this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.
|
3
|
And
the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the
Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and he
called the name of the place Hormah.
|
4
|
And
they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the
land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because
of the way.
|
5
|
And
the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye
brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no
bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light
bread.
|
6
|
And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
|
7
|
Therefore
the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken
against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take
away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
|
8
|
And
the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a
pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he
looketh upon it, shall live.
|
9
|
And
Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to
pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent
of brass, he lived.
|
10
|
And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in Oboth.
|
11
|
And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ijeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising.
|
12
|
From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of Zared.
|
13
|
From
thence they removed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, which is
in the wilderness that cometh out of the coasts of the Amorites: for
Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
|
14
|
Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the LORD, What he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,
|
15
|
And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth upon the border of Moab.
|
16
|
And
from thence they went to Beer: that is the well whereof the LORD spake
unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water.
|
17
|
Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it:
|
18
|
The
princes digged the well, the nobles of the people digged it, by the
direction of the lawgiver, with their staves. And from the wilderness
they went to Mattanah:
|
19
|
And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:
|
20
|
And from Bamoth in the valley, that is in the country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward Jeshimon.
|
21
|
And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
|
22
|
Let
me pass through thy land: we will not turn into the fields, or into the
vineyards; we will not drink of the waters of the well: but we will go
along by the king's high way, until we be past thy borders.
|
23
|
And
Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon
gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the
wilderness: and he came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
|
24
|
And
Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land
from Arnon unto Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon: for the border
of the children of Ammon was strong.
|
25
|
And
Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the
Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the villages thereof.
|
26
|
For
Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought
against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand,
even unto Arnon.
|
27
|
Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and prepared:
|
28
|
For
there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon: it
hath consumed Ar of Moab, and the lords of the high places of Arnon.
|
29
|
Woe
to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of Chemosh: he hath given his
sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity unto Sihon king of
the Amorites.
|
30
|
We
have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and we have
laid them waste even unto Nophah, which reacheth unto Medeba.
|
31
|
Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.
|
32
|
And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took the villages thereof, and drove out the Amorites that were there.
|
33
|
And
they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan
went out against them, he, and all his people, to the battle at Edrei.
|
34
|
And
the LORD said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him into
thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as
thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.
|
35
|
So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him alive: and they possessed his land.
|
1
|
And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the plains of Moab on this side Jordan by Jericho.
|
2
|
And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
|
3
|
And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.
|
4
|
And
Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick up all
that are round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field.
And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time.
|
5
|
He
sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor, which
is by the river of the land of the children of his people, to call him,
saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt: behold, they
cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me:
|
6
|
Come
now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are too
mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and
that I may drive them out of the land: for I wot that he whom thou
blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.
|
7
|
And
the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards
of divination in their hand; and they came unto Balaam, and spake unto
him the words of Balak.
|
8
|
And
he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word
again, as the LORD shall speak unto me: and the princes of Moab abode
with Balaam.
|
9
|
And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men are these with thee?
|
10
|
And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, saying,
|
11
|
Behold,
there is a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the face of the
earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to overcome
them, and drive them out.
|
12
|
And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed.
|
13
|
And
Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the princes of Balak, Get
you into your land: for the LORD refuseth to give me leave to go with
you.
|
14
|
And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us.
|
15
|
And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honorable than they.
|
16
|
And
they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith Balak the son of
Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming unto me:
|
17
|
For
I will promote thee unto very great honor, and I will do whatsoever
thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people.
|
18
|
And
Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak, If Balak would
give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word
of the LORD my God, to do less or more.
|
19
|
Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what the LORD will say unto me more.
|
20
|
And
God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the men come to
call thee, rise up, and go with them; but yet the word which I shall say
unto thee, that shalt thou do.
|
21
|
And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.
|
22
|
And
God's anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the LORD
stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon
his ass, and his two servants were with him.
|
23
|
And
the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword
drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went
into the field: and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way.
|
24
|
But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side.
|
25
|
And
when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she thrust herself unto the
wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and he smote her
again.
|
26
|
And
the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow place, where
was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.
|
27
|
And
when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and
Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff.
|
28
|
And
the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What
have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?
|
29
|
And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee.
|
30
|
And
the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast
ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so
unto thee? And he said, Nay.
|
31
|
Then
the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD
standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down
his head, and fell flat on his face.
|
32
|
And
the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine
ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because thy
way is perverse before me:
|
33
|
And
the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless she had
turned from me, surely now also I had slain thee, and saved her alive.
|
34
|
And
Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD, I have sinned; for I knew not
that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore, if it displease
thee, I will get me back again.
|
35
|
And
the angel of the LORD said unto Balaam, Go with the men: but only the
word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak. So Balaam went
with the princes of Balak.
|
36
|
And
when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him unto a
city of Moab, which is in the border of Arnon, which is in the utmost
coast.
|
37
|
And
Balak said unto Balaam, Did I not earnestly send unto thee to call
thee? wherefore camest thou not unto me? am I not able indeed to promote
thee to honor?
|
38
|
And
Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I now any power
at all to say any thing? the word that God putteth in my mouth, that
shall I speak.
|
39
|
And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kirjathhuzoth.
|
40
|
And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him.
|
41
|
And
it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him
up into the high places of Baal, that thence he might see the utmost
part of the people.
|
1
|
And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams.
|
2
|
And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram.
|
3
|
And
Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go:
peradventure the LORD will come to meet me: and whatsoever he showeth me
I will tell thee. And he went to an high place.
|
4
|
And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered upon every altar a bullock and a ram.
|
5
|
And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.
|
6
|
And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab.
|
7
|
And
he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought
me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me
Jacob, and come, defy Israel.
|
8
|
How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied?
|
9
|
For
from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him:
lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the
nations.
|
10
|
Who
can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of
Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be
like his!
|
11
|
And
Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to
curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed them altogether.
|
12
|
And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD hath put in my mouth?
|
13
|
And
Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place,
from whence thou mayest see them: thou shalt see but the utmost part of
them, and shalt not see them all: and curse me them from thence.
|
14
|
And
he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and
built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.
|
15
|
And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I meet the LORD yonder.
|
16
|
And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again unto Balak, and say thus.
|
17
|
And
when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering, and the
princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What hath the LORD
spoken?
|
18
|
And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:
|
19
|
God
is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he
should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken,
and shall he not make it good?
|
20
|
Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.
|
21
|
He
hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in
Israel: the LORD his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among
them.
|
22
|
God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.
|
23
|
Surely
there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination
against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of
Israel, What hath God wrought!
|
24
|
Behold,
the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a
young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drink
the blood of the slain.
|
25
|
And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.
|
26
|
But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do?
|
27
|
And
Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee unto
another place; peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse me
them from thence.
|
28
|
And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh toward Jeshimon.
|
29
|
And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.
|
30
|
And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.
|
1
|
And
when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he went not,
as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward
the wilderness.
|
2
|
And
Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in his tents
according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came upon him.
|
3
|
And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
|
4
|
He
hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of the
Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
|
5
|
How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel!
|
6
|
As
the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river's side, as
the trees of lign aloes which the LORD hath planted, and as cedar trees
beside the waters.
|
7
|
He
shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many
waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be
exalted.
|
8
|
God
brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an
unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their
bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.
|
9
|
He
couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him
up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth
thee.
|
10
|
And
Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands
together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse mine
enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three
times.
|
11
|
Therefore
now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee unto great honor;
but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee back from honor.
|
12
|
And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying,
|
13
|
If
Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go
beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do either good or bad of mine own
mind; but what the LORD saith, that will I speak?
|
14
|
And
now, behold, I go unto my people: come therefore, and I will advertise
thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days.
|
15
|
And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
|
16
|
He
hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the
most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance,
but having his eyes open:
|
17
|
I
shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there
shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel,
and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of
Sheth.
|
18
|
And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.
|
19
|
Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city.
|
20
|
And
when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek was
the first of the nations; but his latter end shall be that he perish for
ever.
|
21
|
And
he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is
thy dwelling place, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock.
|
22
|
Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive.
|
23
|
And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this!
|
24
|
And
ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur,
and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever.
|
25
|
And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way.
|
1
|
And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab.
|
2
|
And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
|
3
|
And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.
|
4
|
And
the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang
them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the
LORD may be turned away from Israel.
|
5
|
And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor.
|
6
|
And,
behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his
brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of
all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
|
7
|
And
when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it,
he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand;
|
8
|
And
he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them
through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the
plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
|
9
|
And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.
|
10
|
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
|
11
|
Phinehas,
the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath
away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among
them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.
|
12
|
Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:
|
13
|
And
he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an
everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an
atonement for the children of Israel.
|
14
|
Now
the name of the Israelite that was slain, even that was slain with the
Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a chief house
among the Simeonites.
|
15
|
And
the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the
daughter of Zur; he was head over a people, and of a chief house in
Midian.
|
16
|
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
|
17
|
Vex the Midianites, and smite them:
|
18
|
For
they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in the
matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of
Midian, their sister, which was slain in the day of the plague for
Peor's sake.

=====================================================
==================================================
This evening, Mark &;14 through 8:21
14
|
And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15
|
There
is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him:
but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the
man.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16
|
If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17
|
And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18
|
And
he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not
perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it
cannot defile him;
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19
|
Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
20
|
And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
21
|
For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
22
|
Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
23
|
All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
24
|
And
from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and
entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not
be hid.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
25
|
For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
26
|
The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
27
|
But
Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not
