• Numbers 2 (2:50)

Numbers 2 1 Now the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 2 "The sons of Israel shall camp, each by his own standard, with the banners of their fathers' households ; they shall camp around the tent of meeting at a distance . 3 "Now those who camp on the east side toward the sunrise shall be of the standard of the camp of Judah, by their armies, and the leader of the sons of Judah : Nahshon the son of Amminadab, 4 and his army, even their numbered men, 74,600 . 5 "Those who camp next to him shall be the tribe of Issachar, and the leader of the sons of Issachar : Nethanel the son of Zuar, 6 and his army, even their numbered men, 54,400 . 7 "Then comes the tribe of Zebulun, and the leader of the sons of Zebulun : Eliab the son of Helon, 8 and his army, even his numbered men, 57,400 . 9 "The total of the numbered men of the camp of Judah : 186,400 , by their armies. They shall set out first. 10 "On the south side shall be the standard of the camp of Reuben by their armies, and the leader of the sons of Reuben : Elizur the son of Shedeur, 11 and his army, even their numbered men, 46,500 . 12 "Those who camp next to him shall be the tribe of Simeon, and the leader of the sons of Simeon : Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai, 13 and his army, even their numbered men, 59,300 . 14 "Then comes the tribe of Gad, and the leader of the sons of Gad : Eliasaph the son of Deuel, 15 and his army, even their numbered men, 45,650 . 16 "The total of the numbered men of the camp of Reuben : 151,450 by their armies. And they shall set out second. 17 "Then the tent of meeting shall set out with the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camps ; just as they camp, so they shall set out, every man in his place by their standards. 18 "On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of Ephraim by their armies, and the leader of the sons of Ephraim shall be Elishama the son of Ammihud, 19 and his army, even their numbered men, 40,500 . 20 "Next to him shall be the tribe of Manasseh, and the leader of the sons of Manasseh : Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur, 21 and his army, even their numbered men, 32,200 . 22 "Then comes the tribe of Benjamin, and the leader of the sons of Benjamin : Abidan the son of Gideoni, 23 and his army, even their numbered men, 35,400 . 24 "The total of the numbered men of the camp of Ephraim : 108,100 , by their armies. And they shall set out third. 25 "On the north side shall be the standard of the camp of Dan by their armies, and the leader of the sons of Dan : Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai, 26 and his army, even their numbered men, 62,700 . 27 "Those who camp next to him shall be the tribe of Asher, and the leader of the sons of Asher : Pagiel the son of Ochran, 28 and his army, even their numbered men, 41,500 . 29 "Then comes the tribe of Naphtali, and the leader of the sons of Naphtali : Ahira the son of Enan, 30 and his army, even their numbered men, 53,400 . 31 "The total of the numbered men of the camp of Dan was 157,600 . They shall set out last by their standards." 32 These are the numbered men of the sons of Israel by their fathers' households ; the total of the numbered men of the camps by their armies, 603,550 . 33 The Levites, however, were not numbered among the sons of Israel, just as the LORD had commanded Moses. 34 Thus the sons of Israel did ; according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so they camped by their standards, and so they set out, every one by his family according to his father's household.

• Numbers 3 (4:29)

Numbers 3 1 Now these are the records of the generations of Aaron and Moses at the time when the LORD spoke with Moses on Mount Sinai. 2 These then are the names of the sons of Aaron : Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. 3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the anointed priests, whom he ordained to serve as priests. 4 But Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD when they offered strange fire before the LORD in the wilderness of Sinai ; and they had no children. So Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests in the lifetime of their father Aaron. 5 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 6 "Bring the tribe of Levi near and set them before Aaron the priest, that they may serve him. 7 "They shall perform the duties for him and for the whole congregation before the tent of meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle. 8 "They shall also keep all the furnishings of the tent of meeting, along with the duties of the sons of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle. 9 "You shall thus give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons ; they are wholly given to him from among the sons of Israel. 10 "So you shall appoint Aaron and his sons that they may keep their priesthood, but the layman who comes near shall be put to death." 11 Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 12 "Now, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the sons of Israel instead of every firstborn, the first issue of the womb among the sons of Israel. So the Levites shall be Mine. 13 "For all the firstborn are Mine; on the day that I struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified to Myself all the firstborn in Israel, from man to beast. They shall be Mine; I am the LORD." 14 Then the LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying, 15 "Number the sons of Levi by their fathers' households, by their families ; every male from a month old and upward you shall number." 16 So Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, just as he had been commanded. 17 These then are the sons of Levi by their names : Gershon and Kohath and Merari. 18 These are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families : Libni and Shimei ; 19 and the sons of Kohath by their families : Amram and Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel ; 20 and the sons of Merari by their families : Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to their fathers' households. 21 Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites and the family of the Shimeites ; these were the families of the Gershonites. 22 Their numbered men, in the numbering of every male from a month old and upward, even their numbered men were 7,500 . 23 The families of the Gershonites were to camp behind the tabernacle westward, 24 and the leader of the fathers' households of the Gershonites was Eliasaph the son of Lael. Duties of the Priests 25 Now the duties of the sons of Gershon in the tent of meeting involved the tabernacle and the tent, its covering, and the screen for the doorway of the tent of meeting, 26 and the hangings of the court, and the screen for the doorway of the court which is around the tabernacle and the altar, and its cords, according to all the service concerning them. 27 Of Kohath was the family of the Amramites and the family of the Izharites and the family of the Hebronites and the family of the Uzzielites ; these were the families of the Kohathites. 28 In the numbering of every male from a month old and upward, there were 8,600 , performing the duties of the sanctuary. 29 The families of the sons of Kohath were to camp on the southward side of the tabernacle, 30 and the leader of the fathers' households of the Kohathite families was Elizaphan the son of Uzziel. 31 Now their duties involved the ark, the table, the lampstand, the altars, and the utensils of the sanctuary with which they minister, and the screen, and all the service concerning them; 32 and Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest was the chief of the leaders of Levi, and had the oversight of those who perform the duties of the sanctuary. 33 Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites and the family of the Mushites ; these were the families of Merari. 34 Their numbered men in the numbering of every male from a month old and upward, were 6,200 . 35 The leader of the fathers' households of the families of Merari was Zuriel the son of Abihail. They were to camp on the northward side of the tabernacle. 36 Now the appointed duties of the sons of Merari involved the frames of the tabernacle, its bars, its pillars, its sockets, all its equipment, and the service concerning them, 37 and the pillars around the court with their sockets and their pegs and their cords. 38 Now those who were to camp before the tabernacle eastward, before the tent of meeting toward the sunrise, are Moses and Aaron and his sons, performing the duties of the sanctuary for the obligation of the sons of Israel ; but the layman coming near was to be put to death. 39 All the numbered men of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered at the command of the LORD by their families, every male from a month old and upward, were 22,000 . Firstborn Redeemed 40 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Number every firstborn male of the sons of Israel from a month old and upward, and make a list of their names. 41 "You shall take the Levites for Me, I am the LORD, instead of all the firstborn among the sons of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the cattle of the sons of Israel." 42 So Moses numbered all the firstborn among the sons of Israel, just as the LORD had commanded him; 43 and all the firstborn males by the number of names from a month old and upward, for their numbered men were 22,273 . 44 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 45 "Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the sons of Israel and the cattle of the Levites. And the Levites shall be Mine; I am the LORD. 46 "For the ransom of the 273 of the firstborn of the sons of Israel who are in excess beyond the Levites, 47 you shall take five shekels apiece, per head ; you shall take them in terms of the shekel of the sanctuary (the shekel is twenty gerahs ), 48 and give the money, the ransom of those who are in excess among them, to Aaron and to his sons." 49 So Moses took the ransom money from those who were in excess, beyond those ransomed by the Levites ; 50 from the firstborn of the sons of Israel he took the money in terms of the shekel of the sanctuary, 1,365 . 51 Then Moses gave the ransom money to Aaron and to his sons, at the command of the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

• Luke 16 (2:59)

Luke 16 1 Now He was also saying to the disciples, "There was a rich man who had a manager, and this manager was reported to him as squandering his possessions. 2 "And he called him and said to him, 'What is this I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.' 3 "The manager said to himself, 'What shall I do, since my master is taking the management away from me? I am not strong enough to dig ; I am ashamed to beg. 4 'I know what I shall do, so that when I am removed from the management people will welcome me into their homes.' 5 "And he summoned each one of his master's debtors, and he began saying to the first, 'How much do you owe my master ?' 6 "And he said, 'A hundred measures of oil.' And he said to him, 'Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.' 7 "Then he said to another, 'And how much do you owe ?' And he said, 'A hundred measures of wheat.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, and write eighty.' 8 "And his master praised the unrighteous manager because he had acted shrewdly ; for the sons of this age are more shrewd in relation to their own kind than the sons of light. 9 "And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of the wealth of unrighteousness, so that when it fails, they will receive you into the eternal dwellings. 10 "He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much ; and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much. 11 "Therefore if you have not been faithful in the use of unrighteous wealth, who will entrust the true riches to you? 12 "And if you have not been faithful in the use of that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own? 13 "No servant can serve two masters ; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth." 14 Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, were listening to all these things and were scoffing at Him. 15 And He said to them, "You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts ; for that which is highly esteemed among men is detestable in the sight of God. 16 "The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John ; since that time the gospel of the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it. 17 "But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one stroke of a letter of the Law to fail. 18 "Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery. The Rich Man and Lazarus 19 "Now there was a rich man, and he habitually dressed in purple and fine linen, joyously living in splendor every day. 20 "And a poor man named Lazarus was laid at his gate, covered with sores, 21 and longing to be fed with the crumbs which were falling from the rich man's table ; besides, even the dogs were coming and licking his sores. 22 "Now the poor man died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham's bosom ; and the rich man also died and was buried. 23 "In Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 "And he cried out and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool off my tongue, for I am in agony in this flame.' 25 "But Abraham said, 'Child, remember that during your life you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus bad things ; but now he is being comforted here, and you are in agony. 26 'And besides all this, between us and you there is a great chasm fixed, so that those who wish to come over from here to you will not be able, and that none may cross over from there to us.' 27 "And he said, 'Then I beg you, father, that you send him to my father's house - 28 for I have five brothers -in order that he may warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.' 29 "But Abraham said, 'They have Moses and the Prophets ; let them hear them.' 30 "But he said, 'No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent !' 31 "But he said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.'
