Section 1

Numbers 26:63-27:11

14 verses

Numbers Chapter 26

63These are those who were counted by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who counted the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.

64But among these there was not a man of them who were counted by Moses and Aaron the priest, who counted the children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.

65For ForeverOne had said of them, They shall surely die in the wilderness. There was not left a man of them, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

Numbers Chapter 27

1Then drew near 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.

2They stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, at the door of the Tent of Meeting, saying, 3"Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not among the group of those who gathered themselves together against ForeverOne in the group of Korah; but he died in his own sin; and he had no sons.

4Why should the name of our father be taken away from among his family, because he had no son? Give to us a possession among the brothers of our father." 5Moses brought their cause before ForeverOne.

6ForeverOne spoke to Moses, saying, 7"The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: you shall surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brothers; and you shall cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them.

8You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'If a man dies, and has no son, then you shall cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter.

9If he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers.

10If he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father's brothers.

11If his father has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his kinsman who is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be to the children of Israel a statute [and] ordinance, as ForeverOne commanded Moses.'"

Section 2

Ezekiel 10:6-11:12

29 verses

Ezekiel Chapter 10

6It came to pass, when he commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim, that he went in, and stood beside a wheel.

7The cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubim to the fire that was between the cherubim, and took [of it], and put it into the hands of him who was clothed in linen, who took it and went out.

8There appeared in the cherubim the form of a man's hand under their wings.

9I looked, and behold, four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside one cherub, and another wheel beside another cherub; and the appearance of the wheels was like a beryl stone.

10As for their appearance, the four of them had one likeness, like a wheel within a wheel.

11When they went, they went in their four directions: they didn't turn as they went, but to the place where the head looked they followed it; they didn't turn as they went.

12Their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes all around, [even] the wheels that the four of them had.

13As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, the whirling [wheels].

14Every one had four faces: the first face was the face of the cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third face the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.

15The cherubim mounted up: this is the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar.

16When the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels also didn't turn from beside them.

17When they stood, these stood; and when they mounted up, these mounted up with them: for the spirit of the living creature was in them.

18The glory of ForeverOne went forth from over the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim.

19The cherubim lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight when they went forth, and the wheels beside them: and they stood at the door of the east gate of ForeverOne's house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.

20This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and I knew that they were cherubim.

21Every one had four faces, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.

22As for the likeness of their faces, they were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves; they went every one straight forward.

Ezekiel Chapter 11

1Moreover the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me to the east gate of ForeverOne's house, which looks eastward: and see, at the door of the gate twenty-five men; and I saw in the midst of them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.

2He said to me, Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity, and who give wicked counsel in this city; 3who say, [The time] is not near to build houses: this [city] is the caldron, and we are the flesh.

4Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, son of man.

5The Spirit of ForeverOne fell on me, and he said to me, Speak, Thus says ForeverOne: Thus you have said, house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind.

6You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain.

7Therefore thus says LordOfMine ForeverOne: Your slain whom you have laid in its midst, they are the flesh, and this [city] is the caldron; but you shall be driven out of its midst.

8You have feared the sword; and I will bring the sword on you, says LordOfMine ForeverOne.

9I will bring you forth out of its midst, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.

10You shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and you shall know that I am ForeverOne.

11This [city] shall not be your caldron, neither shall you be the flesh in its midst; I will judge you in the border of Israel; 12and you shall know that I am ForeverOne: for you have not walked in my statutes, neither have you executed my ordinances, but have done after the ordinances of the nations that are around you.

Section 3

Psalm 140-142

33 verses

Psalm 140

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.

1Deliver me, ForeverOne, from the evil man. Preserve me from the violent man; 2those who devise mischief in their hearts. They continually gather themselves together for war.

3They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. Viper's poison is under their lips. Selah.

4ForeverOne, keep me from the hands of the wicked. Preserve me from the violent men who have determined to trip my feet.

5The proud have hidden a snare for me, they have spread the cords of a net by the path. They have set traps for me. Selah.

6I said to ForeverOne, "You are my God." Listen to the cry of my petitions, ForeverOne.

7ForeverOne, LordOfMine, the strength of my salvation, you have covered my head in the day of battle.

8ForeverOne, don't grant the desires of the wicked. Don't let their evil plans succeed, or they will become proud. Selah.

9As for the head of those who surround me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

10Let burning coals fall on them. Let them be thrown into the fire, into miry pits, from where they never rise.

11An evil speaker won't be established in the earth. Evil will hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

12I know that ForeverOne will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and justice for the needy.

13Surely the righteous will give thanks to your name. The upright will dwell in your presence.

Psalm 141

A Psalm by David.

1ForeverOne, I have called on you. Come to me quickly! Listen to my voice when I call to you.

2Let my prayer be set before you like incense; the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.

3Set a watch, ForeverOne, before my mouth. Keep the door of my lips.

4Don't incline my heart to any evil thing, to practice deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity. Don't let me eat of their delicacies.

5Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness; let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; don't let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.

6Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock. They will hear my words, for they are well spoken.

7"As when one plows and breaks up the earth, our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol." 8For my eyes are on you, ForeverOne, LordOfMine. In you, I take refuge. Don't leave my soul destitute.

9Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, from the traps of the workers of iniquity.

10Let the wicked fall together into their own nets, while I pass by.

Psalm 142

A contemplation by David, when he was in the cave. A Prayer.

1I cry with my voice to ForeverOne. With my voice, I ask ForeverOne for mercy.

2I pour out my complaint before him. I tell him my troubles.

3When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, you knew my path. In the way in which I walk, they have hidden a snare for me.

4Look on my right, and see; for there is no one who is concerned for me. Refuge has fled from me. No one cares for my soul.

5I cried to you, ForeverOne. I said, "You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living." 6Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need. deliver me from my persecutors, For they are stronger than me.

7Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks to your name. The righteous will surround me, for you will be good to me.

Section 4

Philippians 1

30 verses

Philippians Chapter 1

1Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus AnointedOne; To all the saints in AnointedOne Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and servants: 2Grace to you, and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus AnointedOne.

3I thank my God whenever I remember you, 4always in every request of mine on behalf of you all, making my requests with joy, 5for your partnership in furtherance of the Good News from the first day until now; 6being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus AnointedOne.

7It is even right for me to think this way on behalf of all of you, because I have you in my heart, because both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the Good News, you all are partakers with me of grace.

8For God is my witness, how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of AnointedOne Jesus.

9This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment, 10so that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of the AnointedOne, 11being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus AnointedOne, to the glory and praise of God.

12Now I desire to have you know, brothers, that the things which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of the Good News, 13so that it became evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in the AnointedOne; 14and that most of the brothers in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.

15Some indeed preach the AnointedOne even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.

16The former insincerely preach the AnointedOne from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains; 17but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.

18What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, the AnointedOne is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, yes, and will rejoice.

19For I know that this will turn out to my salvation, through your prayers and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus AnointedOne, 20according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also the AnointedOne will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

21For to me to live is the AnointedOne, and to die is gain.

22But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I don't know what I will choose.

23But I am in a dilemma between the two, having the desire to depart and be with the AnointedOne, which is far better.

24Yet to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.

25Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all for your progress and joy in the faith, 26that your rejoicing may abound in AnointedOne Jesus in me through my presence with you again.

27Only let your way of life be worthy of the Good News of the AnointedOne, that, whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News; 28and in nothing frightened by the adversaries, which is for them a proof of destruction, but to you of salvation, and that from God.

29Because it has been granted to you on behalf of the AnointedOne, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf, 30having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me.
