Numbers 27
1599 Geneva Bible
27 1 The Law of the heritage of the daughters of Zelophehad. 12 The land of promise showed unto Moses. 16 Moses prayeth for a governor unto the people. 18 Joshua is appointed in his stead.
1 Then came the daughters of (A)Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the family of Manasseh, the son of Joseph (and the names of his daughters were these, Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah)
2 And stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the Priest, and before the Princes, and all the assembly at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, saying,
3 Our father (B)died in the wilderness, and he was not among the assembly of them that were assembled against the Lord in the company of Korah, but died in his [a]sin, and had no sons.
4 Wherefore should the name of our father be taken away from among his family, because he hath no son? give us a possession among the brethren of our father.
5 Then Moses brought their [b]cause before the Lord.
6 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt give them a possession to inherit among their father’s brethren, and shalt turn the inheritance of their father unto them.
8 Also thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die and have no son, then ye shall turn his inheritance unto his daughter.
9 And if he have no daughter, ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren.
10 And if he have no brethren, ye shall give his inheritance unto his father’s brethren.
11 And if his father have no brethren, ye shall give his inheritance unto his next kinsman of his family, and he shall possess it: and this shall be unto the children of Israel a law of [c]judgment, as the Lord hath commanded Moses.
12 ¶ Again the Lord said unto Moses, (C)Go up into this mount of Abarim, and behold the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.
13 And when thou hast seen it, thou shalt be gathered unto thy people also, (D)as Aaron thy brother was gathered.
14 For ye were (E)disobedient unto my word in the desert of Zin, in the strife of the assembly to sanctify me in the waters before their eyes: (F)That is the water of [d]Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.
15 ¶ Then Moses spake unto the Lord, saying,
16 Let the Lord God of the [e]spirits of all flesh appoint a man over the Congregation,
17 Who may [f]go out and in before them, and lead them out and in, that the Congregation of the Lord be not as sheep, which have not a shepherd.
18 And the Lord said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, in whom is the Spirit, and [g]put thine hands 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 [h]give him of thy glory, that all the Congregation of the children of Israel may obey.
21 And he shall stand before Eleazar the Priest, who shall ask counsel for him (G)by the [i]judgment of Urim before the Lord: at his word they shall go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel with him, and all the Congregation.
22 So Moses did as the Lord hath commanded him, and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the Priest, and before all the Congregation.
23 Then he put his hands upon him, and gave him a [j]charge, as the Lord had spoken by the hand of Moses.

28 4 The daily sacrifice. 9 The sacrifice of Sabbath. 11 Of the Month, 16 Of the Passover, 26 Of the firstfruits.
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall observe to offer unto me in their due season mine offering, and [a]my bread for my sacrifices made by fire for a sweet savor unto me.
3 Also thou shalt say unto them, (A)This is the offering made by fire which ye shall offer unto the Lord, two lambs of a year old, without spot daily, for a continual burnt offering.
4 One lamb shalt thou prepare in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou prepare at even.
5 (B)And the tenth part of an Ephah of fine flour for a (C)meat offering mingled with the fourth part of an (D)Hin of beaten oil.
6 This shall be a daily burnt offering, as was made in the mount Sinai for a sweet savor: it is a sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord.
7 And the drink offering thereof the fourth part of an Hin for one lamb: in the holy place cause to pour the drink offering unto the Lord.
8 And the other lamb thou shalt prepare at even: as the meat offering of the morning, and as the drink offering thereof shalt thou prepare this [b]for an offering made by fire of sweet savor unto the Lord.
9 ¶ But on the Sabbath day ye shall offer two lambs of a year old, without spot, and two [c]tenth deals of fine flour for a meat offering mingled with oil, and the drink offering thereof.
10 This is the burnt offering of every Sabbath, beside the [d]continual burnt offering, and drink offering thereof.
11 ¶ And in the beginning of your months, ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the Lord, two young bullocks, and a ram, and seven lambs of a year old, without spot,
12 And three tenth deals of fine flour for a meat offering mingled with oil for one bullock, and two tenth deals of fine flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil for one ram,
13 And a tenth deal of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat offering unto one lamb, for a burnt offering of sweet savor: it is an offering made by fire unto the Lord.
14 And their [e]drink offerings shall be half an Hin of wine unto one bullock, and the third part of an Hin unto a ram, and the 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 he goat for a sin offering unto the Lord shall be prepared, besides the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.
16 (E)Also the fourteenth day of the first month is the Passover of the Lord.
17 And in the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast: seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten.
18 In the (F)first day shall be an holy [f]convocation, ye shall do no servile work therein.

23 Ye shall prepare these beside the burnt offering in the morning, which is a continual burnt sacrifice.
24 After this manner ye shall prepare throughout all the seven days, for the [g]maintaining of the offering made by fire for a sweet savor unto the Lord: it shall be done beside the continual burnt offering and drink offering thereof.
25 And in the seventh day ye shall have an holy convocation, wherein ye shall do no servile work.
26 ¶ Also in the day of your firstfruits, when ye bring a new meat offering unto the Lord, according to your [h]weeks ye shall have an holy convocation: and ye shall do no servile work in it:
27 But ye shall offer a burnt offering for a sweet savor unto the Lord, two young bullocks, a ram, and seven lambs of a year old,
28 And their meat offering of fine flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals unto a bullock, two tenth deals to a ram,

John 6
1599 Geneva Bible
6 5 Five thousand are fed with five loaves and two fishes. 15 Christ goeth apart from the people. 17 As his disciples were rowing, 19 he cometh to them walking on the water. 26 He reasoneth of the true 27 and everlasting, 35 bread of life. 42, 52 The Jews murmur, 60 and many of the disciples, 66 depart from him. 69 The Apostles confess him to be the Son of God.
1 After these things, Jesus went his way [a]over the sea of Galilee, which is Tiberias.
2 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles, which he did on them that were diseased.
3 Then Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.
4 Now the Passover a (A)feast of the Jews was near.
5 (B)[b]Then Jesus lift up his eyes, and seeing that a great multitude came unto him, he said unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these might eat?
6 (And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.)
7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that everyone of them may take a little.
8 Then said unto him one of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother,
9 There is a little boy here, which hath five barley loaves, and two fishes: but what are they among so many?
10 And Jesus said, Make the people sit down. (Now there was much grass in that place.) Then the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
11 And Jesus took the bread, and gave thanks, and gave to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down: and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.
12 And when they were satisfied, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the broken meat which remaineth, that nothing be lost.
13 Then they gathered it together, and filled twelve baskets with the broken meat of the five barley loaves, which remained unto them that had eaten.
14 Then the men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that Prophet that should come into the world.
15 [c]When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come, and take him to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.
16 ¶ [d]When even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea,
17 (C)And entered into a ship, and went over the sea, [e]towards Capernaum: and now it was dark, and Jesus was not come to them.
18 And the Sea arose with a great wind that blew.
19 And when they had rowed about five and twenty, or thirty furlongs, they saw Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing near unto the ship: so they were afraid.
20 But he said unto them, It is I: be not afraid.
21 Then [f]willingly they received him into the ship, and the ship was by and by at the land, whither they went.
22 ¶ The day following, the people which stood on the other side of the sea, saw that there was none other ship there, save that one, where into his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples in the ship, but that his disciples were gone alone,
23 And that there came other ships from Tiberias near unto the place where they ate the bread, after the Lord had given thanks.
24 Now when the people saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.
25 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
26 [g]Jesus answered them, and said, Verily, verily I say unto you, Ye seek me not, because ye saw the miracles, but because ye ate of the loaves, and were filled.
27 [h]Labor not for the meat which perisheth, but for the meat that endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath (D)God the Father [i]sealed.
28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the [j]works of God?
29 [k]Jesus answered, and said unto them, (E)[l]This is the work of God, that ye believe in him, whom he hath sent.
30 [m]They said therefore unto him, What sign showest thou then, that we may see it, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
31 Our fathers did eat Manna in the desert, as it is (F)written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
32 [n]Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily I say unto you, Moses gave you not [o]that bread from heaven, but my Father giveth you that true bread from heaven.
33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
34 Then they said unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
35 And Jesus said unto them, I am that bread [p]of life: he that cometh to me, shall not hunger, and he that believeth in me, shall never thirst.
36 But I said unto you, that ye also have seen me, and believe not.
37 [q]All that the Father giveth me, shall come to me: and him that cometh to me, I cast not away.
38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine [r]own will, but his will which hath sent me.
39 And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me, I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every man which [s]seeth the Son, and believeth in him, should have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
41 [t]The Jews then murmured at him because he said, I am that bread, which is come down from heaven.
42 And they said, (G)Is not this Jesus that son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how then saith he, I came down from heaven?
43 Jesus then answered, and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
44 No man can come to me, except the Father, which hath sent me, draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
45 It is written in the (H)[u]Prophets, And they shall be all [v]taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me:
46 (I)Not that any man hath seen the Father, [w]save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.
47 Verily, verily I say unto you, he that believeth in me, hath everlasting life.
48 [x]I am that bread of life.
49 (J)Your fathers did eat Manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
50 [y]This is that bread, which cometh down from heaven, that he which eateth of it, should not die.
51 [z]I am that [aa]living bread, which came down from heaven: if any man [ab]eat of this bread, he shall live forever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
52 [ac]Then the Jews strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have [ad]no life in you.
54 Whosoever (K)eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
57 As [ae]that living Father hath sent me, so live I by the [af]Father, and he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers have eaten Manna, and are dead. He that eateth of this bread, shall live forever.
59 These things spake he in the Synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
60 [ag]Many therefore of his disciples (when they heard this) said, This is an hard saying: who can hear it?
61 But Jesus knowing in himself, that his disciples murmured at this, said unto them, Doth this offend you?
62 What then if ye should see that Son of man ascend up (L)where he was before?
63 [ah]It is the [ai]spirit that quickeneth: the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, are spirit and life.
64 But there are some of you that believe not: for Jesus knew from the beginning, which they were that believed not, and who should betray him.
65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it be given unto him of my Father.
66 [aj]From that time, many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
67 Then said Jesus to the twelve, Will ye also go away?
68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Master, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life:
69 And we believe and know that thou art that Christ that Son of the living God.
70 [ak]Jesus answered them, Have not I (M)chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?
71 Now he spake it of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, though he was one of the twelve.
