Numbers 32:1 - 32:19

32:1 Gad and Reuben Inherit Gilead The descendants of Reuben and the descendants of Gad had a very large number of livestock. And they saw the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead, and behold it was a place for livestock.
32:2 The descendants of Gad and the descendants of Reuben came, and they said to Moses and to Eleazar the priest and to the leaders of the community, saying,
32:3 “Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,
32:4 the land that Yahweh struck before the community of Israel, is a land of livestock, and your servants have livestock.”
32:5 They said, “If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants as property; do not lead us across the Jordan.”
32:6 But Moses said to the descendants of Gad and to the descendants of Reuben, “Will your brothers go to war while you yourselves live here?
32:7 Why are you discouraging the hearts of the Israelites from crossing into the land that Yahweh gave to them?
32:8 This is what your fathers did when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to see the land.
32:9 When they went up to the valley of Eshcol and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the Israelites so that they did not come to the land that Yahweh gave to them.
32:10 So Yahweh’s anger burned on that day, and he swore an oath, saying,
32:11 ‘The men who went up from Egypt, from those twenty years old and above, will not see the land that I swore with an oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob because they have not wholly followed me,
32:12 except Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua son of Nun, because they followed Yahweh wholly.’
32:13 And Yahweh became angry, and he made them wander in the desert forty years until the entire generation who did evil in the sight of Yahweh had died.
32:14 Behold, you stand in the place of your fathers, a brood of sinful men, to increase still more Yahweh’s fierce anger against Israel.
32:15 If you turn from following him, he will again abandon them in the wilderness, and you would have destroyed all these people.”
32:16 They came near to him and said, “We will build sheep pens here for the flock of our livestock and cities for our little children;
32:17 but we ourselves will become armed and ready before the Israelites until we have brought them to their place, and our little children will live in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
32:18 We will not return to our houses until the Israelites each obtain their inheritance for themselves.
32:19 For we will not take possession with them from across the Jordan and beyond because our inheritance has come to us from across the Jordan to the east.”

Luke 23:44-56

23:44 Jesus Dies on the Cross And by this time it was about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour
23:45 because the light of the sun failed. And the curtain of the temple was torn apart down the middle.
23:46 And Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I entrust my spirit!” And after he said this, he expired.
23:47 Now when the centurion saw what had happened, he began to praise God, saying, “Certainly this man was righteous!”
23:48 And all the crowds that had come together for this spectacle, when they saw the things that had happened, returned home beating their breasts.
23:49 And all his acquaintances, and the women who had followed him from Galilee who saw these things, stood at a distance.
23:50 Jesus Is Buried And behold, a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man
23:51 (this man was not consenting to their plan and deed), from Arimathea, a Judean town, who was looking forward to the kingdom of God.
23:52 This man approached Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
23:53 And he took it down and wrapped it in a linen cloth and placed him in a tomb cut into the rock where no one had ever been placed.
23:54 And it was the day of preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.
23:55 And the women who had been accompanying him from Galilee followed and saw the tomb and how his body was placed.
23:56 And they returned and prepared fragrant spices and perfumes, and on the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
