33 1 Moses before his death blesseth all the tribes of Israel. 26 There is no god like to the God of Israel: 29 Nor any people like unto his.
1 Now this is the [a]blessing wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death, and said,
2 The Lord came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them, and appeared clearly from mount Paran, and he came with ten [b]thousands of Saints, and at his right hand a fiery Law for them.
3 Though he love the people, yet [c]all thy Saints are in thine hands: and they are humbled at [d]thy feet, to receive thy words.
4 Moses commanded us a Law for an [e]inheritance of the Congregation of Jacob.
5 Then [f]he was among the [g]righteous people, as King, when the heads of the people, and the tribes of Israel were assembled.
6 ¶ Let [h]Reuben live, and not die, though his men be a small number.
7 ¶ And thus he blessed Judah, and said, Hear, O Lord, the voice of Judah, and bring him unto his people: his hands shall be [i]sufficient for him, if thou help him against his enemies.
8 ¶ And of Levi he said, Let thy (A)Thummim and thine Urim be with thine Holy one, whom thou didst prove in Massah, and didst cause him to strive at the waters of Meribah.
9 Who said unto his father and to his mother, [j]I have not seen him, neither knew he his brethren, nor knew his own children: for they observed thy word, and kept thy Covenant.
10 They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy Law: they shall put incense before thy face, and the burnt offering upon thine Altar.
11 Bless, O Lord, his substance, and accept the work of his hands: [k]smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not again.
12 ¶ Of Benjamin he said, The beloved of the Lord shall [l]dwell in safety by him: the Lord shall cover him all the day long, and dwell between his shoulders.
13 ¶ And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the Lord is his land for the sweetness of heaven, for the dew, and for the [m]depth lying beneath,
14 And for the sweet increase of the Sun, and for the sweet increase of the Moon,
15 And for thy sweetness of the top of the ancient mountains, and for the sweetness of the old hills,
16 And for the sweetness of the earth, and abundance therefore: and the good will of him that dwelt in the [n]bush, shall come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was (B)separated from his brethren.
17 His beauty shall be like his firstborn bullock, and his [o]horns as the horns of an unicorn: with them he shall smite the people together, even the ends of the world: these are also the ten thousands of Ephraim, and these are the thousands of Manasseh.
18 ¶ And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy [p]going out, and thou Issachar in thy tents.
19 They shall call the people unto the [q]mountain: there they shall offer the sacrifices of righteousness: for [r]they shall suck of the abundance of the sea, and of the treasures hid in the sand.
20 ¶ Also of Gad he said, Blessed be he that enlargeth Gad: he dwelleth as a lion, that catcheth for his prey the arm with the head.
21 And he looked to himself at the beginning, because there was a portion of the [s]Law-giver hid: yet he shall come with the heads of the people, to execute the justice of the Lord, and his judgments with Israel.
22 ¶ And of Dan he said, Dan is a lion’s whelp: he shall leap from Bashan.
23 ¶ Also of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favor, and filled with the blessing of the Lord, possess [t]the West and the South.
24 ¶ And of Asher he said, Asher shall be blessed with children: he shall be acceptable unto his brethren, and shall dip his foot in oil.
25 Thy shoes shall be [u]iron and brass, and thy strength shall continue as long as thou livest.
26 ¶ There is none like God, O righteous people, which rideth upon the heavens for thine help, and on the clouds in his glory.
27 The eternal God is thy refuge, and under his arms thou art forever: he shall cast out the enemy before thee, and will say, Destroy them.
28 Then Israel [v]the fountain of Jacob shall dwell alone in safety in a land of wheat and wine: also his heavens shall drop the dew.
29 Blessed art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the Lord, the shield of thine help, and which is the sword of thy glory? therefore [w]thine enemies shall be in subjection to thee, and thou shalt tread upon their high places.
34 1 Moses seeth all the Land of Canaan. 5 He dieth. 8. Israel weepeth. 9 Joshua succeedeth in Moses’ room. 10 The praise of Moses.
1 Then Moses went from the plain of Moab up into mount [x]Nebo unto the top of Pisgah that is over against Jericho: and the Lord showed him (C)all the land of Gilead, unto Dan,
2 And all Naphtali and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the utmost [y]sea:
3 And the South, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, unto Zoar.
4 And the Lord said unto him, (D)This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither.
5 So Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the Lord.
6 And [z]he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab over against Beth Peor, but no man knoweth of his sepulcher unto [aa]this day.
7 Moses was now an hundred and twenty years old when he died, his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated:
8 And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plain of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended.
9 And [ab]Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom: for Moses had put his hands upon him. And the children of Israel were obedient unto him, and did as the Lord had commanded Moses.
10 But there arose not a Prophet since in Israel like unto Moses (whom the Lord knew [ac]face to face.)
11 In all the miracles and wonders which the Lord sent him to do in the land of Egypt before Pharaoh and before all his servants, and before all his land,
12 And in all that mighty [ad]hand and all that great fear, which Moses wrought in the sight of all Israel.

148 Mine eyes [b]prevent the night watches, to meditate in thy word.
149 Hear my voice according to thy loving kindness: O Lord, quicken me according to thy [c]judgment.

157 My persecutors and mine oppressors are many: yet do I not swerve from thy testimonies.
158 I saw the transgressors and was [h]grieved, because they kept not thy word.
159 Consider, O Lord, how I [i]love thy precepts: quicken me according to thy loving kindness.
160 The [j]beginning of thy word is truth, and all the judgments of thy righteousness endure forever.
SCHIN
161 Princes have [k]persecuted me without cause: but mine heart stood in awe of thy words.
162 I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth a great spoil.
163 I hate falsehood and abhor it, but thy Law do I love.
164 [l]Seven times a day do I praise thee, because of thy righteous judgments.
165 They that [m]love thy law, shall have great prosperity, and they shall have none hurt.
166 Lord, I have [n]trusted in thy salvation, and have done thy commandments.

172 My tongue shall entreat of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteous.
173 Let thine hand help me: for I have chosen thy precepts.
174 I have longed for thy salvation, O Lord, and thy Law is my delight.
175 Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee, and thy [s]judgments shall help me.
176 I have [t]gone astray like a lost sheep: seek thy servant, for I do not forget thy commandments.
60 3 The Gentiles shall come to the knowledge of the Gospel. 8 They shall come to the Church in abundance. 16 They shall have abundance though they suffer for a time.
1 Arise, O Jerusalem; be bright, for thy [a]light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.
2 For behold, darkness shall cover the [b]earth, and gross darkness the people; but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
3 And the Gentiles shall walk in [c]thy light, and Kings at the brightness of thy rising up.
4 Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold: all [d]these are gathered, and come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nourished at thy side.
5 Then thou shalt see and shine: thine heart shall be astonied [e]and enlarged, because the multitude of the sea shall be converted unto thee, and the riches of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.
6 The [f]multitude of camels shall cover thee: and the dromedaries of Midian and of Ephah: all they of Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense, and show forth the praises of the Lord.
7 All the sheep of [g]Kedar shall be gathered unto thee: the rams of Nebajoth shall serve thee: they shall come up to be accepted upon mine [h]altar: and I will beautify the house of my glory.
8 Who are these [i]that fly like a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?
9 Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships [j]of Tarshish, as at the beginning, that they may bring thy sons from far, and their silver and their gold with them unto the Name of the Lord thy God, and to the Holy one of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.
10 And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their [k]Kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my mercy I had compassion on thee.
11 Therefore thy gates shall be open continually: neither day nor night shall they be shut, that men may bring unto thee the riches of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought.
12 For the nation and the [l]kingdom, that will not serve thee, shall perish: and those nations shall be utterly destroyed.
13 The [m]glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the elm and the box tree together to beautify the place of my Sanctuary: for I will glorify the place of my [n]feet.

15 Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no man went by thee, I will make thee an eternal glory, and a joy from generation to generation.
16 Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the [p]breasts of Kings: and thou shalt know, that I the Lord am thy Savior, and thy Redeemer, the mighty one of Jacob.
17 For brass will I bring gold, and for iron will I bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron. I will also make thy government [q]peace, and thine exactors righteousness.
18 Violence shall no more be heard of in thy land, neither desolation, nor destruction within thy borders: but thou shalt [r]call salvation, thy walls, and praise, thy gates.
19 Thou shalt have no more Sun to shine by day, neither shall the brightness of the [s]Moon shine unto thee: for the Lord shall be thine everlasting light, and thy God, thy glory.
20 Thy Sun shall never go down, neither shall thy Moon be hid: for the Lord shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy sorrow shall be ended.
21 Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall possess the land forever, the [t]grass of my planting shall be the work of mine hands, that I may be glorified.
22 A little one shall become as a [u]thousand, and a small one as a strong nation: I the Lord will hasten it in due time.
8 1 The Leper cleansed. 5 The Centurion’s faith. 11 The calling of the Gentiles, 12 and casting out of the Jews. 14 Peter’s mother-in-law healed. 19 A Scribe desirous to follow Christ. 23 The tempest on the sea. 28 Two possessed with devils cured. 32 The devils go into swine.
1 Now when he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.
2 (A)[a]And lo, there came a Leper and worshipped him, saying, Master, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
3 And Jesus putting forth his hand, touched him, saying, I will, be thou clean: and immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
4 Then Jesus said unto him, See thou tell no man, but go, and show thyself unto the Priest, and offer the gift that (B)Moses commanded, for a witness to them.
5 ¶ (C)[b]When Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a Centurion, beseeching him,
6 And said, Master, my servant lieth sick at home of the palsy, and is grievously pained.
7 And Jesus said unto him, I will come and heal him.
8 But the Centurion answered, saying, Master, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.
9 For I am a man also under the authority of another, and have soldiers under me: and I say to one, Go, and he goeth: and to another, Come, and he cometh: and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
10 When Jesus heard that, he marveled, and said to them that followed him, Verily, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, even in Israel.
11 But I say unto you, that many shall come from the East and West, and shall [c]sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.
12 And the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into [d]utter (D)darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
13 Then Jesus said unto the Centurion, Go thy way, and as thou hast believed, so be it unto thee. And his servant was healed the same hour.
14 ¶ (E)[e]And when Jesus came to Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother laid down, and sick of a fever.
15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: so she arose, and ministered unto them.
16 (F)When the Even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed [f]all that were sick,
17 That it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by (G)Isaiah the Prophet, saying, He took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.
18 ¶ (H)And when Jesus saw great multitudes of people about him, he commanded them to go [g]over the water.
19 [h]Then came there a certain Scribe, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
20 But Jesus said unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven have [i]nests, but the Son of man hath not whereon to rest his head.
21 ¶ [j]And another of his disciples said unto him, Master, suffer me first to go, and bury my father.
22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me, and let the dead bury the dead.
23 ¶ (I)[k]And when he was entered into the ship, his disciples followed him.
24 And behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, so that the ship was covered with waves: but he was asleep.
25 Then his disciples came, and awoke him, saying, Master, save us: we perish.
26 And he said unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea: and so there was a great calm.
27 And the men marveled, saying, What man is this, that both the winds and the sea obey him?
28 ¶ (J)[l]And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils which came out of the graves very fierce, so that no man might go by that way.
29 And behold, they cried out, saying, Jesus the son of God, what have we to do with thee? Art thou come hither to torment us before the time?
30 Now there was [m]afar off from them, a great herd of swine feeding.
31 And the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go into the herd of swine.
32 And he said unto them, Go. So they went out and departed into the herd of swine: and behold, the whole herd of swine ran headlong into the sea, and died in the water.
33 Then the herdmen fled: and when they were come into the city, they told all things, and what was become of them that were possessed with the devils,
34 And behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him to [n]depart out of their coasts.
