Numbers 8:1 - 8:14

8:1 The Seven Lamps Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
8:2 “Speak to Aaron, and say to him: ‘When you are setting up the lamps, the seven lamps will give light in front of the face of the lampstand.’”
8:3 And Aaron did so; he set up the lampstand in front of the face of its lamps, just as Yahweh commanded Moses.
8:4 And this is how the lampstand was made, a hammered-work of gold; from its base up to its blossom, it was hammered-work according to the pattern that Yahweh showed Moses; so he made the lampstand.
8:5 Moses Consecrates the Levites Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
8:6 “Take the Levites from the midst of the Israelites and purify them.
8:7 So you will do to them, to purify them: sprinkle on them waters of purification, and they will shave their whole body and wash their garments.
8:8 And they will take a young bull and its grain offering of finely milled flour mixed with oil, and you will take a second young bull as a sin offering.
8:9 You will bring the Levites before the tent of assembly, and you will summon the entire community of the Israelites.
8:10 And you will bring the Levites before Yahweh, and the Israelites will lay their hands on the Levites,
8:11 and Aaron will offer the Levites as a wave offering before Yahweh from the Israelites, and they will do the work of Yahweh.
8:12 And the Levites will lay their hands on the head of the one bull and offer it as a sin offering and the other one as a burnt offering to Yahweh, to make atonement for the Levites.
8:13 And you will present the Levites before Aaron and before his sons, and he will offer them as a wave offering to Yahweh.
8:14 “And you will separate the Levites from the midst of the Israelites, and the Levites will be for me.

LEB translation

Luke 8:22-56

8:22 Calming of a Storm Now it happened that on one of the days both he and his disciples got into a boat, and he said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side of the lake.” And they set sail,
8:23 and as they were sailing, he fell asleep. And a storm of wind came down on the lake, and they were being swamped and were in danger.
8:24 And they came and woke him up, saying, “Master, master! We are perishing!” So he got up and rebuked the wind and the billowing waves of water and they ceased, and it became calm.
8:25 And he said to them, “Where is your faith?” But they were afraid and were astonished, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that he commands even the winds and the water and they obey him?”
8:26 A Demon-possessed Gerasene Healed And they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.
8:27 And as he got out on the land, a certain man from the town met him who had demons and for a considerable time had not worn clothes and did not live in a house, but among the tombs.
8:28 And when he saw Jesus, he cried out, fell down before him, and said with a loud voice, “What do I have to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me!”
8:29 For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. (For it had seized him many times, and he was bound with chains and shackles and was guarded, and breaking the bonds he would be driven by the demon into the deserted places.)
8:30 So Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” because many demons had entered into him.
8:31 And they began imploring him that he would not order them to depart into the abyss.
8:32 Now there was a large herd of pigs feeding there on the hill, and they implored him that he would permit them to enter into those pigs. And he permitted them.
8:33 So the demons came out of the man and entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed headlong down the steep slope into the lake and were drowned.
8:34 And when the herdsmen saw what had happened, they fled and reported it in the town and in the countryside.
8:35 So they went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting there clothed and in his right mind, at the feet of Jesus, and they were afraid.
8:36 And those who had seen it reported to them how the man who had been demon-possessed had been healed.
8:37 And all the people of the surrounding region of the Gerasenes asked him to depart from them, because they had been seized with great fear. So he got into the boat and returned.
8:38 And the man from who the demons had gone out was begging him to stay with him, but he sent him away, saying,
8:39 “Return to your home and tell all that God has done for you.” And he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole town all that Jesus had done for him.
8:40 A Woman Healed and a Daughter Raised Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, because they were all waiting for him.
8:41 And behold, a man who was named Jairus came, and this man was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at the feet of Jesus and began imploring him to come to his house,
8:42 because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. Now as he was going, the crowds were pressing against him.
8:43 And a woman who was suffering from hemorrhages for twelve years (who, although she had spent all her assets on physicians, was not able to be healed by anyone)
8:44 came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her hemorrhaging stopped.
8:45 And Jesus said, “Who is the one who touched me?” And when they all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the crowds are pressing you hard and crowding you!”
8:46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched me, because I know power has gone out from me.”
8:47 And when the woman saw that she did not escape notice, she came trembling and falling down before him. In the presence of all the people, she told for what reason she had touched him, and that she was healed immediately.
8:48 And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
8:49 While he was still speaking, someone came from the synagogue ruler’s house, saying, “Your daughter is dead! Trouble the Teacher no longer!”
8:50 But Jesus, when he heard this, replied to him, “Do not be afraid! Only believe, and she will be healed.”
8:51 Now when he came to the house, he did not allow anyone to enter with him except Peter and John and James and the father and mother of the child.
8:52 And they were all weeping and mourning for her, but he said, “Do not weep! For she is not dead, but is sleeping.”
8:53 And they began laughing at him, because they knew that she was dead.
8:54 But he took her hand and called, saying, “Child, get up.”
8:55 And her spirit returned, and she got up immediately, and he ordered something to be given to her to eat.
8:56 And her parents were astonished, but he ordered them to tell no one what had happened.
