^{1 (36:44)} And Jacob dwelt in the land where his father sojourned, in the land of Canaan. ^{2 (37:1)} And these are the generations of Jacob. And Joseph was seventeen years old, feeding the sheep of his father with his brothers, being young; with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, the wives of his father; and Joseph brought a bad report of them to Israel their father. ³ And Jacob loved Joseph more than all his sons, because he was to him the son of his old age; and he made for him a coat of many colors. ⁴ And his brothers, seeing that his father loved him more than all his sons, hated him, and could not speak anything peaceable to him. ⁵ And Joseph dreamed a dream, and told it to his brothers. ⁶ And he said to them, Hear this dream which I have dreamed. ⁷ I thought you were binding sheaves in the middle of the field, and my sheaf stood up and was erected, and your sheaves turned round, and bowed down to my sheaf. ⁸ And his brothers said to him, Shall you indeed reign over us, or shall you indeed be lord over us? And they hated him all the more for his dreams and for his words. ⁹ And he dreamed another dream, and told it to his father, and to his brothers, and said, Behold, I have dreamed another dream: and this time, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars bowed down to me. ¹⁰ And his father rebuked him, and said to him, What is this dream which you have dreamed? Shall indeed both I and your mother and your brothers come and bow before you to the earth? ¹¹ And his brothers envied him; but his father observed the saying. ¹² And his brothers went to feed the sheep of their father in Shechem. ¹³ And Israel said to Joseph, Do not your brothers feed their flock in Shechem? Come, I will send you to them; and he said to him, Behold, I am here. ¹⁴ And Israel said to him, Go and see if your brothers and the sheep are well, and bring me word. So he sent him out of the valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem. ¹⁵ And a man found him wandering in the field; and the man asked him, saying, What are you seeking? ¹⁶ And he said, I am seeking my brothers; tell me where they feed their flocks. ¹⁷ And the man said to him, They have departed from here, for I heard them saying, Let us go to Dothan; and Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan. ¹⁸ And they spied him from a distance before he came near them, and they wickedly took counsel to kill him. ¹⁹ And each said to his brother, Look, here comes that dreamer! ²⁰ Now then come, let us kill him, and cast him into one of the pits; and we will say, An evil wild beast has devoured him; and we shall see what his dreams will be. ²¹ And Reuben, having heard it, rescued him out of their hands, and said, Let us not kill him. ²² And Reuben said to them, Shed no blood; cast him into one of these pits in the wilderness, but do not lay your hand upon him; that he might rescue him out of their hands, and restore him to his father. ²³ And it came to pass, when Joseph came to his brothers, that they stripped Joseph of his many-colored coat that was upon him. ²⁴ And they took him and cast him into the pit; and the pit was empty, it had not water. ²⁵ And they sat down to eat bread; and having lifted up their eyes they beheld, and lo, Ishmaelite travelers came from Gilead, and their camels were heavily loaded with spices, and resin, and myrrh; and they went to bring them to Egypt. ²⁶ And Judah said to his brothers, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood? ²⁷ Come, let us sell him to these Ishmaelites, but let not our hands be upon him, because he is our brother and our flesh; and his brothers listened. ²⁸ And the men, the merchants of Midian, went by, and they drew and lifted Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of gold; and they brought Joseph down into Egypt. ²⁹ And Reuben returned to the pit, and did not see Joseph in the pit; and he tore his clothes. ³⁰ And he returned to his brothers and said, The boy is no more; and I, where shall I go? ³¹ And having taken the coat of Joseph, they killed a kid of the goats, and stained the coat with the blood. ³² And they sent the coat of many colors, and they brought it to their father, and said, We have found this: Do you know if it is your son's coat or not? ^{33 (37:32)} And he recognized it, and said, It is my son's coat, an evil wild beast has devoured him; a wild beast has carried off Joseph. ^{34 (37:33)} And Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his loins, and mourned for his son many days. ^{35 (37:34)} And all his sons and his daughters gathered themselves together, and came to comfort him; but he would not be comforted, saying, I will go down to my son mourning to Hades; and his father wept for him. ^{36 (37:35)} And the Midianites sold Joseph into Egypt; to Potiphar, Pharaoh's eunuch, the captain of the guard.

¹ And Joseph was brought down to Egypt. And Potiphar, Pharaoh's eunuch, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the hands of the Ishmaelites, who brought him down there. ² And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house with his master the Egyptian. ³ And his master knew that the Lord was with him, and that the Lord prospered in his hands all that he did. ⁴ And Joseph found grace in the presence of his master, and was well-pleasing to him; and he set him over his house; and all that he had, he gave into the hand of Joseph. ⁵ And it came to pass after that he was set over his house, and over all that he had, that the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the Lord was on all his possessions in the house, and in his field. ⁶ And he committed all that he had into the hands of Joseph; and he knew not of anything that belonged to him, except the bread which he himself ate. And Joseph was handsome in form, and exceedingly beautiful in countenance. ⁷ And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph, and said, Lie with me. ⁸ But he would not; but said to his master's wife, If because of me my master knows nothing in his house, and has given into my hands all things that belong to him; ⁹ and in this house there is nothing above me, nor has anything been kept back from me, but you, because you are his wife — how then shall I do this wicked thing, and sin against God? ¹⁰ So it was, as she talked with Joseph day by day, that he did not heed her, to sleep with her, or to be with her. ¹¹ But it came to pass on a certain day, that Joseph went into the house to do his business, and there was no one of the household inside. ¹² And she caught hold of him by his clothes, and said, Lie with me. And having left his clothes in her hands, he fled, and ran outside. ¹³ And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his clothes in her hands and fled, and ran outside, ¹⁴ that she called those that were of her house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in to us a Hebrew servant to mock us — he came in to me, saying, Lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice. ¹⁵ And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his clothes with me, he fled, and went outside. ¹⁶ So she left his clothes by her, until his master came home. ¹⁷ And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, whom you brought in to us, came in to me to mock me, and said to me, I will lie with you. ¹⁸ And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his clothes with me, he fled outside. ¹⁹ And it came to pass, when his master heard all the words of his wife, that she spoke to him, saying, Thus did your servant to me, that he was very angry. ²⁰ And his master took Joseph, and cast him into the prison, into the place where the king's prisoners are kept, there in the prison. ²¹ And the Lord was with Joseph, and poured down mercy upon him; and He gave him favor in the sight of the chief keeper of the prison. ²² And the chief keeper of the prison gave the prison into the hand of Joseph, and all the prisoners, as many as were in the prison; and all things whatsoever they do there, he did them. ²³ Because of him the chief keeper of the prison knew nothing, for all things were in the hands of Joseph, because the Lord was with him; and whatever things he did, the Lord made them to prosper in his hands.

²⁴ And Joseph turned away from them and wept; and again he came to them, and spoke to them; and he took Simeon from them, and bound him before their eyes.

²⁰ And we said to my lord, We have a father, an old man, and he has a son of his old age, a young one, and his brother is dead, and he alone has been left behind to his mother, and his father loves him.

³ And He said to him, I am the God of your fathers; fear not to go down into Egypt, for I will make of you a great nation there. ⁴ And I will go down with you into Egypt, and I will bring you up at the end; and Joseph shall put his hands on your eyes.

On one side opposite the lampstand he lighted its lamps, as the Lord appointed Moses. ⁴ And this is the construction of the lampstand: it is solid, golden-- its stem, and its lilies were all solid; according to the pattern which the Lord showed Moses, so he made the lampstand. ⁵ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ⁶ Take the Levites out of the midst of the children of Israel, and you shall purify them. ⁷ And thus shall you perform their purification: you shall sprinkle them with the water of purification, and a razor shall come upon the whole of their body, and they shall wash their garments, and shall be clean. ⁸ And they shall take one calf of the herd, and its grain offering, fine flour mingled with oil; and you shall take a calf of a year old of the herd for a sin offering. ⁹ And you shall bring the Levites before the tabernacle of witness; and you shall assemble all the congregation of the sons of Israel. ¹⁰ And you shall bring the Levites before the Lord; and the sons of Israel shall lay their hands upon the Levites. ¹¹ And Aaron shall separate the Levites for a gift before the Lord from the children of Israel; and they shall be prepared to perform the works of the Lord. ¹² And the Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the calves; and you shall offer one for a sin offering, and the other for a whole burnt offering to the Lord, to make atonement for them. ¹³ And you shall set the Levites before the Lord, and before Aaron, and before his sons; and you shall give them as a gift before the Lord. ¹⁴ And you shall separate the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and they shall be Mine. ¹⁵ And afterwards the Levites shall go in to perform the works of the tabernacle of witness; and you shall purify them, and present them before the Lord. ¹⁶ For these are given to Me for a present out of the midst of the children of Israel: I have taken them to Myself instead of all the firstborn of the sons of Israel that open every womb. ¹⁷ For every firstborn among the children of Israel is Mine, whether of man or beast: in the day in which I struck every firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them to Myself. ¹⁸ And I took the Levites in the place of every firstborn among the children of Israel. ¹⁹ And I gave the Levites presented as a gift to Aaron and his sons out of the midst of the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the tabernacle of witness, and to make atonement for the children of Israel; thus there shall be none among the sons of Israel to draw near to the holy things.

¹⁹ And I gave the Levites presented as a gift to Aaron and his sons out of the midst of the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the tabernacle of witness, and to make atonement for the children of Israel; thus there shall be none among the sons of Israel to draw near to the holy things. ²⁰ And Moses and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel did to the Levites as the Lord commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so the sons of Israel did to them. ²¹ So the Levites purified themselves and washed their garments, and Aaron presented them as a gift before the Lord, and Aaron made atonement for them, to purify them. ²² And afterwards the Levites went in to minister in their service in the tabernacle of witness before Aaron, and before his sons; as the Lord appointed Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to them. ²³ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ²⁴ This is the ordinance for the Levites: From twenty-five years old and upward, they shall go in to minister in the tabernacle of witness. ²⁵ And from fifty years old the Levites shall cease from the ministry, and shall not work any longer. ²⁶ And his brother shall serve in the tabernacle of witness to keep the charges, but he shall not do the works: so shall you do to the Levites in their charges.

¹ And the Lord spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai in the second year after they had gone forth from the land of Egypt, in the first month, saying,

¹ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ² Make to yourself two silver trumpets: you shall make them of hammered work; and they shall be to you for the purpose of calling the assembly, and of removing the camps. ³ And you shall sound with them, and all the congregation shall be gathered to the door of the tabernacle of witness. ⁴ And if they shall sound with one, all the rulers, even the princes of Israel, shall come to you. ⁵ And you shall sound an alarm, and the camps pitched eastward shall begin to move. ⁶ And you shall sound a second alarm, and the camps pitched southward shall move; and you shall sound a third alarm, and the camps pitched westward shall move forward; and you shall sound a fourth alarm, and they that encamp toward the north shall move forward: they shall sound an alarm at their departure. ⁷ And whenever you shall gather the assembly, you shall sound, but not an alarm. ⁸ And the priests, the sons of Aaron, shall sound with the trumpets; and it shall be a perpetual ordinance for you throughout your generations. ⁹ And if you shall go forth to war in your land against your enemies that are opposed to you, then shall you sound with the trumpets; and you shall be had in remembrance before the Lord, and you shall be saved from your enemies. ¹⁰ And in the days of your gladness, and in your feasts, and in your new moons, you shall sound with the trumpets at your whole burnt offerings, and at the sacrifices of your peace-offerings; and there shall be a memorial for you before your God: I am the Lord your God. ¹¹ And it came to pass in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, that the cloud went up from the tabernacle of witness.

¹⁷ His beauty is as the firstborn bull, his horns are the horns of a unicorn; with them he shall thrust the nations at once, even from the end of the earth: these are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and these are the thousands of Manasseh. ¹⁸ And to Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out, and Issachar in his tents. ¹⁹ They shall utterly destroy the nations, and you shall call men there, and there offer the sacrifice of righteousness; for the wealth of the sea shall suckle you, and so shall the emporiums of them that dwell by the sea coast. ²⁰ And to Gad he said, Blessed be the one that enlarges Gad: as a lion he rested, having broken the arm and the ruler. ²¹ And he saw his firstfruits, that there the land of the princes gathered with the chiefs of the people was divided; the Lord wrought righteousness, and His judgment with Israel. ²² And to Dan he said, Dan is a lion's whelp, and shall leap out of Bashan. ²³ And to Naphthali he said, Naphthali has the fullness of good things; and let him be filled with blessing from the Lord: he shall inherit the west and the south. ²⁴ And to Asher he said, Asher is blessed with children; and he shall be acceptable to his brethren: he shall dip his food in oil. ²⁵ His sandal shall be iron and brass; as your days be, so shall be your strength. ²⁶ There is not any such as the God of the beloved; He who rides upon the heaven is your helper, and the Magnificent One of the firmament. ²⁷ And the rule of God shall protect you, and that under the strength of the everlasting arms; and He shall cast forth the enemy from before your face, saying, Perish. ²⁸ And Israel shall dwell in confidence alone on the land of Jacob, with grain and wine; and the sky shall be misty with dew upon you. ²⁹ Blessed are you, O Israel; who is like you, O people saved by the Lord? Your helper shall hold His shield over you, and His sword is your boast; and your enemies shall speak falsely to you, and you shall tread upon their neck.

²² And Samuel said, Does the Lord take as great pleasure in whole burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in hearing the words of the Lord? Behold, obedience is better than a good sacrifice, and hearkening than the fat of rams.

⁷ And Saul said to his servants that stood by him, Hear now, you sons of Benjamin, will the son of Jesse indeed give all of you fields and vineyards, and will he make you all captains of hundreds and captains of thousands?

² And the king said to Joab commander of the army, who was with him, Go now through all the tribes of Israel and Judah, from Dan even to Beersheba, and number the people, and I will know the number of the people. ³ And Joab said to the king, Now may the Lord add to the people a hundredfold as many as they are, and may the eyes of my lord the king see it: but why does my lord the king desire this thing?

³ And Joab said to the king, Now may the Lord add to the people a hundredfold as many as they are, and may the eyes of my lord the king see it: but why does my lord the king desire this thing? ⁴ Nevertheless the word of the king prevailed against Joab and the captains of the army. Therefore Joab and the captains of the army went out before the king to number the people of Israel. ⁵ And they went over the Jordan, and encamped in Aroer, on the right of the city which is in the midst of the valley of Gad and Jazer. ⁶ And they came to Gilead, and into the land of Tahtim Hodshi, which is Adasai, and they came to Danidan and Udan, and compassed Sidon. ⁷ And they came to Mapsar of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hivite and the Canaanite; and they came by the South of Judah to Beersheba. ⁸ And they compassed the whole land; and they arrived at Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days. ⁹ And Joab gave in the number of the census of the people to the king.

¹ And the devil stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel. ² And King David said to Joab and to the captains of the forces, Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan, and bring me the account, and I shall know their number.

⁵ And Joab gave the number of the mustering of the people to David. And all Israel was one million one hundred thousand men that drew the sword. And the sons of Judah were four hundred and seventy thousand men that drew the sword. ⁶ But he numbered not Levi and Benjamin among them; for the word of the king was painful to Joab.

¹ And David was old and full of days, and he made Solomon his son king over Israel in his place. ² And he assembled all the chief men of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites. ³ And the Levites numbered themselves from thirty years old and upward; and their number by their polls amounted to thirty-eight thousand men. ⁴ Of the overseers over the works of the house of the Lord there were twenty-four thousand, and there were six thousand scribes and judges; ⁵ and four thousand gatekeepers, and four thousand to praise the Lord with instruments which he made to praise the Lord. ⁶ And David divided them into daily courses, for the sons of Levi, for Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. ⁷ And for the family of Gershon, Laadan, and Shimei. ⁸ The sons of Laadan were Jehiel the chief, Zetham, and Joel — three in all. ⁹ The sons of Shimei were Shelomith, Haziel, and Haran, three in all: these were the chiefs of the families of Laadan. ¹⁰ And to the sons of Shimei were Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah: these were the four sons of Shimei. ¹¹ And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second; but Jeush and Beriah did not multiply sons, and they became only one reckoning according to the house of their father. ¹² The sons of Kohath were Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel — four in all. ¹³ The sons of Amram were Aaron and Moses; and Aaron was appointed for the consecration of the most holy things, he and his sons forever, to burn incense before the Lord, to minister and bless in His name forever. ¹⁴ And as for Moses the man of God, his sons were reckoned to the tribe of Levi. ¹⁵ The sons of Moses were Gershon, and Eliezer. ¹⁶ Of the sons of Gershon, Shebuel was the chief. ¹⁷ And the sons of Eliezer were Rehabiah the chief; and Eliezer had no other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very greatly multiplied. ¹⁸ Of the sons of Izhar, Shelomith was the chief. ¹⁹ Of the sons of Hebron, Jeriah was the chief, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth. ²⁰ Of the sons of Uzziel, Michah was the chief, and Jesshiah the second. ²¹ The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi.

And the sons of Kish, their brethren, took them as wives. ²³ The sons of Mushi were Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth — three in all. ²⁴ These are the sons of Levi according to the houses of their fathers; chiefs of their families according to their numbering, according to the number of their names, according to their polls, doing the works of service of the house of the Lord, from twenty years old and upward. ²⁵ For David said, The Lord God of Israel has given rest to His people, and has taken up His abode in Jerusalem forever. ²⁶ And the Levites bore not the tabernacle, or any of the vessels for its service. ²⁷ For by the last words of David was the number of the Levites taken from twenty years old and upward. ²⁸ For he appointed them to wait on Aaron, to minister in the house of the Lord, over the courts, and over the chambers, and over the purification of all the holy things, and over the works of the service of the house of God; ²⁹ and for the showbread, and for the fine flour of the meat offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for the fried cake, and for the dough, and for every measure; ³⁰ and to stand in the morning to praise and give thanks to the Lord, and so in the evening; ³¹ and to be over all the whole burnt offerings that were offered up to the Lord on the Sabbaths, and at the new moons, and at the feasts, by number, according to the order given to them, continually before the Lord. ³² And they are to keep the charge of the tabernacle of witness, and the charge of the holy place, and the charges of the sons of Aaron their brethren, to minister in the house of the Lord.

³² And they are to keep the charge of the tabernacle of witness, and the charge of the holy place, and the charges of the sons of Aaron their brethren, to minister in the house of the Lord.

¹ And King David and the captains of the army appointed to their services the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, lutes, and cymbals; and their number was according to their polls serving in their ministrations. ² The sons of Asaph: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Asharelah; the sons of Asaph were next to the king. ³ To Jeduthun were reckoned the sons of Jeduthun, Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six after their father Jeduthun, sounding loudly on the harp thanksgiving and praise to the Lord. ⁴ To Heman were reckoned the sons of Heman, Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, Romamti-Ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth. ⁵ All these were the sons of Heman the king's chief player in the praises of God, to lift up the horn. And God gave to Heman fourteen sons, and three daughters. ⁶ All these sang hymns with their father in the house of God, with cymbals, lutes, and harps, for the service of the house of God, near the king, and Asaph, and Jeduthun, and Heman. ⁷ And the number of them after their brethren, those instructed to sing to God, everyone that understood singing was two hundred and eighty-eight. ⁸ And they also cast lots for the daily courses, for the great and the small of them, of the perfect ones and the learners. ⁹ And the first lot of his sons and of his brethren came forth to Asaph the son of Joseph, namely, Gedaliah; the second Heneia, his sons and his brethren being twelve. ¹⁰ The third Zaccur, his sons and his brethren were twelve; ¹¹ the fourth Jizri, his sons and his brethren were twelve; ¹² the fifth Nethaniah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; ¹³ the sixth Bukkiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; ¹⁴ the seventh Jesharelah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; ¹⁵ the eighth Jeshaiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; ¹⁶ the ninth Mattaniah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; ¹⁷ the tenth Shimei, his sons and his brethren, twelve; ¹⁸ the eleventh Azarel, his sons and his brethren, twelve; ¹⁹ the twelfth Hashabiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; ²⁰ the thirteenth Shubael, his sons and his brethren, twelve; ²¹ the fourteenth Mattithiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; ²² the fifteenth Jerimoth, his sons and his brethren, twelve; ²³ the sixteenth Hananiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; ²⁴ the seventeenth Joshbekashah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; ²⁵ the eighteenth Hanani, his sons and his brethren, twelve; ²⁶ the nineteenth Mallothi, his sons and his brethren, twelve;

³ And Abijah set the battle in array with an army, with mighty men of war, even four hundred thousand mighty men. And Jeroboam set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand, they were mighty warriors of the army.

²⁵ And I weighed to them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of the firstfruits of the house of our God, which the king, and his counselors, and his princes, and all Israel that were found, had dedicated. ²⁶ I even weighed into their hands six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and a hundred silver vessels, and a hundred talents of gold; ²⁷ and twenty golden bowls, weighing about a thousand drachmas, and superior vessels of fine shining brass, precious as gold. ²⁸ And I said to them, You are holy to the Lord; and the vessels are holy; and the silver and the gold are freewill offerings to the Lord God of our fathers. ²⁹ Be watchful and keep them, until you weigh them before the chief priests and the Levites, and the chiefs of families in Jerusalem, at the chambers of the house of the Lord. ³⁰ So the priests and the Levites took the weight of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, to bring to Jerusalem into the house of our God.

³³ And it came to pass on the fourth day that we weighed the silver and the gold and the vessels in the house of our God, into the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest, and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas, and with them Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui, the Levites. ³⁴ All things were reckoned by number and weight, and the whole weight was written down.

⁶¹ And these went up from Tel Melah, Tel Harsha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer; but they could not declare the houses of their families, or their seed, whether they were of Israel.

⁸ And the Levites were: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah, who was over the bands,

²² The Levites in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, Joa, Johanan, and Jaddua, were recorded heads of families. Also the priests, in the reign of Darius the Persian.

⁴⁷ And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, a daily rate; and consecrated them to the Levites, and the Levites consecrated them to the sons of Aaron.

⁵ and he made himself a great treasury, and there they were formerly in the habit of bestowing the offerings, and the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithe of the grain, and the wine, and the oil, the ordered portion of the Levites, and singers, and porters; and the firstfruits of the priests.

¹⁰ And I understood that the portion of the Levites had not been given; and they had fled everyone to his field, the Levites and the singers doing the work. ¹¹ And I strove with the commanders, and said, Why has the house of God been abandoned? And I assembled them, and set them in their place. ¹² And all Judah brought a tithe of the wheat and the wine and the oil into the treasuries, ¹³ to the charge of Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and Pedaiah of the Levites. And next to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, son of Matthaniah; for they were accounted faithful. It was their office to distribute to their brothers.

²² And I told the Levites who were purifying themselves, and came and kept the gates, that they should sanctify the Sabbath day. Remember me, O God, for these things, and spare me according to the abundance of Your mercy.

⁴ For from there the tribes went up, the tribes of the Lord, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord.

³¹ the prophets utter unrighteous prophecies, and the priests have clapped their hands, and My people have loved it! And what will you do for the future?

¹⁵ Therefore thus says the Lord: Behold, I will feed them with pain, and give them bitter water to drink; for from the prophets of Jerusalem has defilement gone forth into all the land.

² And you, Bethlehem, house of Ephratha, are few in number to be reckoned among the thousands of Judah; yet out of you shall one come forth to Me, to be a ruler of Israel; and His goings forth were from the beginning, even from eternity.

² Abraham begot Isaac, Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob begot Judah and his brothers.

² Abraham begot Isaac, Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob begot Judah and his brothers. ³ Judah begot Perez and Zerah by Tamar, Perez begot Hezron, and Hezron begot Ram. ⁴ Ram begot Amminadab, Amminadab begot Nahshon, and Nahshon begot Salmon. ⁵ Salmon begot Boaz by Rahab, Boaz begot Obed by Ruth, Obed begot Jesse,

²⁰ teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.

³² the son of Jesse, the son of Obed, the son of Boaz, the son of Salmon, the son of Nahshon,

³ To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and he leads them out.

²⁸ Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit placed you as overseers, to shepherd the church of the Lord, and of God, which He purchased with His own blood. ²⁹ For I know this, that savage wolves will come in after my departure, not sparing the flock. ³⁰ Also from among you yourselves will arise men speaking things having been distorted, in order to draw away the disciples after them. ³¹ Therefore be alert, remembering that for three years, night and day I did not cease, with tears, exhorting each one.

¹³ Until I come, give attention to public reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. ¹⁴ Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you through prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership. ¹⁵ Meditate on these things; be in these things, so that your progress may be evident to all. ¹⁶ Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for by doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

² preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all patience and teaching.

³ without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but having been made like the Son of God, remains a priest continually.

⁶ but the one not tracing his descent from them has received tithes from Abraham, and he has blessed the one having the promises.

¹¹ By faith Sarah herself also received power for conception of seed, and she bore a child past the normal age, because she regarded Him faithful who had promised. ¹² Therefore even from one man they were begotten, and him as good as dead, just as the stars of the sky in multitude, and innumerable as the sand by the seashore.

⁹ After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no man could number, out of every nation, and from tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, having been clothed in long white robes, with palm branches in their hands. ¹⁰ And they cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation belongs to our God, to Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!" ¹¹ And all the angels stood around the throne, and the elders and the four living beings, and they fell down on their faces before His throne and they worshipped God, ¹² saying: "Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom, and thanksgiving and honor and power and might, be to our God forever and ever. Amen." ¹³ Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, "Who are these arrayed in long white robes, and where did they come from?" ¹⁴ And I said to him, "My lord, you know." So he said to me, "These are those who come out of the Great Tribulation, and have washed their robes and they made them white in the blood of the Lamb. ¹⁵ Therefore they are before the throne of God, and they serve Him day and night in His temple. And He that sits on the throne shall dwell among them. ¹⁶ They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; nor shall the sun by any means strike them, nor any scorching heat; ¹⁷ because the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne shepherds them, and He leads them to the springs of the waters of life. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."
