Numbers 25:10 -
30:1
10 ADONAI said to Moshe,
11 “Pinchas the son of El‘azar, the son of Aharon the cohen, has deflected my
anger from the people of Isra’el by being as zealous as I am, so that I didn’t
destroy them in my own zeal.
12 Therefore say, ‘I am giving him my covenant of shalom,
13 making a covenant with him and his descendants after him that the office of
cohen will be theirs forever.’ This is because he was zealous on behalf of his
God and made atonement for the people of Isra’el.”
14 The name of the man from Isra’el who was killed, put to death with the woman
from Midyan, was Zimri the son of Salu, leader of one of the clans from the
tribe of Shim‘on.
15 The name of the woman from Midyan who was killed was Kozbi the daughter of
Tzur, and he was head of the people in one of the clans of Midyan.
16 ADONAI said to Moshe,
17 “Treat the Midyanim as enemies and attack them;
18 because they are treating you as enemies by the trickery they used to deceive
you in the P‘or incident and in the affair of their sister Kozbi, the daughter
of the leader from Midyan, the woman who was killed on the day of the plague in
the P‘or incident.”
1 (25:19) After the plague, ADONAI said to Moshe and El‘azar, the son of Aharon
the cohen,
Numbers 26:2- 28
2 “Take a census of the entire assembly of the people of Isra’el twenty years
old and over, by their ancestral clans, all who are subject to military service
in Isra’el.”
3 Moshe and El‘azar the cohen spoke with them on the plains of Mo’av by the
Yarden across from Yericho, explaining,
4 “Those twenty years old and over who came out of the land of Egypt, as ADONAI
ordered Moshe and the people of Isra’el.”

52 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
53 Unto these the land shall be divided for an inheritance according to the
number of names.
54 To many thou shalt give the more inheritance, and to few thou shalt give the
less inheritance: to every one shall his inheritance be given according to those
that were numbered of him.
55 Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot: according to the names of
the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit.
56 According to the lot shall the possession thereof be divided between many and
few.

60 And unto Aaron was born Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
61 And Nadab and Abihu died, when they offered strange fire before the LORD.
62 And those that were numbered of them were twenty and three thousand, all
males from a month old and upward: for they were not numbered among the children
of Israel, because there was no inheritance given them among the children of
Israel.
63 hese are they that were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who
numbered the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.
64 But among these there was not a man of them whom Moses and Aaron the priest
numbered, when they numbered the children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.
65 For the LORD had said of them, They shall surely die in the wilderness. And
there was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua
the son of Nun.
Numbers 27:1- 23
1 Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead,
the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the son of
Joseph: and these are the names of his daughters; Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and
Milcah, and Tirzah.
2 And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the
princes and all the congregation, by the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation, saying,
3 Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of them that
gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah; but died
in his own sin, and had no sons.
4 Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family, because
he hath no son? Give unto us therefore a possession among the brethren of our
father.
5 And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.
6 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a
possession of an inheritance among their father’s brethren; and thou shalt cause
the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.
8 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die, and
have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter.
9 And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his
brethren.
10 And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his
father’s brethren.
11 And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto
his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it
shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of judgment, as the LORD
commanded Moses.
12 And the LORD said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mount Abarim, and see the
land which I have given unto the children of Israel.
13 And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy people, as
Aaron thy brother was gathered.
14 For ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert of Zin, in the strife of
the congregation, to sanctify me at the water before their eyes: that is the
water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.
15 And Moses spake unto the LORD, saying,
16 Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the
congregation,
17 Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them, and which may
lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the congregation of the LORD be
not as sheep which have no shepherd.
18 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom
is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;
19 And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and
give him a charge in their sight.
20 And thou shalt put some of thine honour upon him, that all the congregation
of the children of Israel may be obedient.
21 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask counsel for him
after the judgment of Urim before the LORD: at his word shall they go out, and
at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel with
him, even all the congregation.
22 And Moses did as the LORD commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set him
before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:
23 And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD commanded
by the hand of Moses.
Numbers 28:1- 31
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My offering, and my bread
for my sacrifices made by fire, for a sweet savour unto me, shall ye observe to
offer unto me in their due season.
3 And thou shalt say unto them, This is the offering made by fire which ye shall
offer unto the LORD; two lambs of the first year without spot day by day, for a
continual burnt offering.
4 The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou
offer at even;
5 And a tenth part of an ephah of flour for a meat offering, mingled with the
fourth part of an hin of beaten oil.
6 It is a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in mount Sinai for a
sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD.
7 And the drink offering thereof shall be the fourth part of an hin for the one
lamb: in the holy place shalt thou cause the strong wine to be poured unto the
LORD for a drink offering.
8 And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as the meat offering of the
morning, and as the drink offering thereof, thou shalt offer it, a sacrifice
made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
9 And on the sabbath day two lambs of the first year without spot, and two tenth
deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and the drink offering
thereof:
10 This is the burnt offering of every sabbath, beside the continual burnt
offering, and his drink offering.
11 And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the
LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, seven lambs of the first year without
spot;
12 And three tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, for one
bullock; and two tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, for
one ram;
13 And a several tenth deal of flour mingled with oil for a meat offering unto
one lamb; for a burnt offering of a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto
the LORD.
14 And their drink offerings shall be half an hin of wine unto a bullock, and
the third part of an hin unto a ram, and a fourth part of an hin unto a lamb:
this is the burnt offering of every month throughout the months of the year.
15 And one kid of the goats for a sin offering unto the LORD shall be offered,
beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.
16 And in the fourteenth day of the first month is the passover of the LORD.
17 And in the fifteenth day of this month is the feast: seven days shall
unleavened bread be eaten.
18 In the first day shall be an holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of
servile work therein:
19 But ye shall offer a sacrifice made by fire for a burnt offering unto the
LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, and seven lambs of the first year: they
shall be unto you without blemish:
20 And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil: three tenth deals
shall ye offer for a bullock, and two tenth deals for a ram;
21 A several tenth deal shalt thou offer for every lamb, throughout the seven
lambs:
22 And one goat for a sin offering, to make an atonement for you.
23 Ye shall offer these beside the burnt offering in the morning, which is for a
continual burnt offering.
24 After this manner ye shall offer daily, throughout the seven days, the meat
of the sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD: it shall be
offered beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.
25 And on the seventh day ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no
servile work.
26 Also in the day of the firstfruits, when ye bring a new meat offering unto
the LORD, after your weeks be out, ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall
do no servile work:
27 But ye shall offer the burnt offering for a sweet savour unto the LORD; two
young bullocks, one ram, seven lambs of the first year;
28 And their meat offering of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals unto one
bullock, two tenth deals unto one ram,
29 A several tenth deal unto one lamb, throughout the seven lambs;
30 And one kid of the goats, to make an atonement for you.
31 Ye shall offer them beside the continual burnt offering, and his meat
offering, (they shall be unto you without blemish) and their drink offerings.
Numbers 29:1- 30:1
1 And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, ye shall
have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work: it is a day of blowing
the trumpets unto you.
2 Prepare a burnt offering to make a fragrant aroma for ADONAI–– one
young bull, one ram and seven male lambs in their first year and without
defect––
3 with their grain offering, consisting of fine flour mixed with olive oil–– six
quarts for the bull, four quarts for the ram,
4 and two quarts for each of the seven lambs––

6 This is to be in addition to the burnt offering for Rosh–Hodesh with its grain

offering made by fire to ADONAI.
7 “‘On the tenth day of this seventh month you are to have a holy convocation.
You are to deny yourselves, and you are not to do any kind of work;
8 but you are to present a burnt offering to ADONAI to make a fragrant aroma:

13 You are to present a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, bringing a
fragrant aroma to ADONAI. It is to consist of thirteen young bulls, two rams,
fourteen male lambs in their first year (they are to be without defect),
14 with their grain offering–– fine flour mixed with olive oil, six quarts for
each of the thirteen bulls, four quarts for each of the two rams,

16 also one male goat as a sin offering; in addition to the regular burnt
offering with its grain and drink offerings.
17 “‘On the second day you are to present twelve young bulls, two rams, fourteen
male lambs in their first year, without defect;
18 with the grain and drink offerings for the bulls, rams and lambs, according
to their number, in keeping with the rule;
19 also one male goat as a sin offering; in addition to the regular burnt
offering, its grain offering and their drink offerings.
20 “‘On the third day eleven bulls, two rams, fourteen male lambs in their first

26 “‘On the fifth day nine bulls, two rams, fourteen male lambs in their first

27 with the grain and drink offerings for the bulls, rams and lambs, according
to their number, in keeping with the rule;
28 also one male goat as a sin offering; in addition to the regular burnt
offering with its grain and drink offerings.
29 “‘On the sixth day eight bulls, two rams, fourteen male lambs in their first
year, without defect;
30 with the grain and drink offerings for the bulls, rams and lambs, according
to their number, in keeping with the rule;
31 also one male goat as a sin offering; in addition to the regular burnt
offering with its grain and drink offerings.
32 “‘On the seventh day seven bulls, two rams, fourteen male lambs in their
first year, without defect;
33 with the grain and drink offerings for the bulls, rams and lambs, according
to their number, in keeping with the rule;
34 also one male goat as a sin offering; in addition to the regular burnt
offering with its grain offering and drink offerings.
35 “‘On the eighth day you are to have a festive assembly: you are not to do any
kind of ordinary work;
36 but you are to present a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, giving a
fragrant aroma to ADONAI–– one bull, one ram, seven male lambs in their first
year, without defect;
37 with the grain and drink offerings for the bull, the ram and the lambs,
according to their number, in keeping with the rule;
38 also one male goat as a sin offering; in addition to the regular burnt
offering with its grain and drink offerings.
39 “‘You are to offer these to ADONAI at your designated times in addition to
your vows and voluntary offerings–– whether these are your burnt offerings,
grain offerings, drink offerings or peace offerings.’”
40 (30:1) Moshe told the people of Isra’el everything, just as ADONAI had
ordered Moshe.
1st
Kings 18:46 - 19:21
46 The hand of ADONAI was on Eliyahu; he tucked up his clothing and ran
ahead of Ach’av to the entrance of Yizre‘el.
1 Ach’av told Izevel everything Eliyahu had done and how he had put all the
prophets to the sword.
2 Then Izevel sent a messenger to say to Eliyahu, “May the gods do terrible
things to me and worse ones besides if by this time tomorrow I haven’t taken
your life, just as you took theirs!”
3 On seeing that, he got up and fled for his life. When he arrived in Be’er–Sheva,
in Y’hudah, he left his servant there;
4 but he himself went a day farther into the desert, until he came to a broom
tree. He sat down under it and prayed for his own death. “Enough!” he said.
“Now, ADONAI, take my life. I’m no better than my ancestors.”
5 Then he lay down under the broom tree and went to sleep. Suddenly, an angel
touched him and said to him, “Get up and eat!”
6 He looked, and there by his head was a cake baked on the hot stones and a jug
of water. He ate and drank, then lay down again.
7 The angel came again, a second time, touched him and said, “Get up and eat, or
the journey will be too much for you.”
8 He got up, ate and drank, and, on the strength of that meal, traveled forty
days and nights until he reached Horev the mountain of God.
9 There he went into a cave and spent the night. Then the word of ADONAI came to
him; he said to him, “What are you doing here, Eliyahu?”
10 He answered, “I have been very zealous for ADONAI the God of armies, because
the people of Isra’el have abandoned your covenant, broken down your altars and
killed your prophets with the sword. Now I’m the only one left, and they’re
coming after me to kill me too.”
11 He said, “Go outside, and stand on the mountain before ADONAI”; and right
then and there, ADONAI went past. A mighty blast of wind tore the mountains
apart and broke the rocks in pieces before ADONAI, but ADONAI was not in the
wind. After the wind came an earthquake, but ADONAI was not in the earthquake.
12 After the earthquake, fire broke out; but ADONAI was not in the fire. And
after the fire came a quiet, subdued voice.
13 When Eliyahu heard it, he covered his face with his cloak, stepped out and
stood at the entrance to the cave. Then a voice came to him and said, “What are
you doing here, Eliyahu?”
14 He answered, “I have been very zealous for ADONAI the God of armies; because
the people of Isra’el have abandoned your covenant, broken down your altars and
killed your prophets with the sword. Now I’m the only one left, and they’re
after me to kill me too.”
15 ADONAI said to him, “Go back by way of the Dammesek Desert. When you get
there, anoint Haza’el to be king over Aram.
16 Also anoint Yehu the son of Nimshi to be king over Isra’el, and anoint Elisha
the son of Shafat of Avel–M’cholah to be prophet after you.
17 Yehu will kill whoever escapes the sword of Haza’el, and Elisha will kill
whoever escapes the sword of Yehu.
18 Still, I will spare seven thousand in Isra’el, every knee that hasn’t bent
down before Ba‘al and every mouth that has not kissed him.”
19 So he left and found Elisha the son of Shafat. He was plowing with twelve
yoke of oxen; he himself was behind the twelfth. Eliyahu went over to him and
threw his cloak on him.
20 He left the oxen, ran after Eliyahu and said, “Please let me kiss my father
and mother good–bye; then I will follow you.” He answered, “Go; but return,
because of what I did to you.”
21 Elisha stopped following him. Then he took the yoke of oxen, slaughtered
them, cooked their meat over the wooden yokes of the oxen and gave it to the
people to eat. Then he got up, went after Eliyahu and became his servant.
John 2:13 - 22
13 It was almost time for the festival of Pesach in Y’hudah, so
Yeshua went up to Yerushalayim.
14 In the Temple grounds he found those who were selling cattle, sheep and
pigeons, and others who were sitting at tables exchanging money.
15 He made a whip from cords and drove them all out of the Temple grounds, the
sheep and cattle as well. He knocked over the money–changers’ tables, scattering
their coins;
16 and to the pigeon–sellers he said, “Get these things out of here! How dare
you turn my Father’s house into a market?”
17 (His talmidim later recalled that the Tanakh says, “Zeal for your house will
devour me.”)
18 So the Judeans confronted him by asking him, “What miraculous sign can you
show us to prove you have the right to do all this?”
19 Yeshua answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it
up again.”
20 The Judeans said, “It took 46 years to build this Temple, and you’re going to
raise it in three days?”
21 But the “temple” he had spoken of was his body.
22 Therefore, when he was raised from the dead, his talmidim remembered that he
had said this, and they trusted in the Tanakh and in what Yeshua had said.
