Numbers 8:15 - 8:26

8:15 And after this the Levites will come to serve at the tent of assembly, and you will purify them, and you will offer them as a wave offering.
8:16 For they are given to me exclusively from the midst of the Israelites. I have taken them for myself in place of the firstborn of every womb, every firstborn from the Israelites.
8:17 For every firstborn among the Israelites is mine, both humankind and animal. On the day I destroyed every firstborn in the land of Egypt I consecrated them to me,
8:18 and I have taken the Levites in the place of every firstborn among the Israelites.
8:19 And I have given the Levites; they are given to Aaron and his sons from the midst of the Israelites to do the work of the Israelites in the tent of the assembly and to make atonement for the Israelites, so a plague will not be among the Israelites when the Israelites come near the sanctuary.”
8:20 And Moses and Aaron and the entire community of the Israelites did to the Levites; everything that Yahweh commanded Moses concerning the Levites, the Israelites did to them.
8:21 And the Levites purified themselves, and they washed their garments, and Aaron offered them as a wave offering before Yahweh; and Aaron made atonement for them to purify them.
8:22 After this the Levites came to do their work in the tent of assembly before Aaron and his sons. Just as Yahweh commanded Moses concerning the Levities, so they did to them.
8:23 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
8:24 “This is what is for the Levites: those twenty-five years old and above will come to help with the service in the work of the tent of assembly;
8:25 and those fifty years old will return from the service of the work and will serve no longer.
8:26 They can attend their brothers in the tent of assembly to keep their responsibilities, but they will not do work. This is what you will do concerning the Levities and their responsibilities.”

Gospel — Luke 9:1-17

LEB translation

Luke 9:1-17

9:1 The Twelve Commissioned and Sent Out And summoning the twelve, he gave them power and authority over all the demons and to cure diseases,
9:2 and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
9:3 And he said to them, “Take along nothing for the journey—neither a staff, nor a traveler’s bag, nor bread, nor money, nor to have two tunics apiece.
9:4 And into whatever house you enter, stay there and depart from there.
9:5 And as for all those who do not welcome you—when you depart from that town, shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.”
9:6 So they departed and went throughout the villages, proclaiming the good news and healing everywhere.
9:7 Herod Perplexed About Jesus Now Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, and he was greatly perplexed, because it was said by some that John has been raised from the dead,
9:8 and by some that Elijah had appeared, and others that some prophet of ancient times had risen.
9:9 And Herod said, “John I beheaded, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” And he was wanting to see him.
9:10 The Feeding of Five Thousand And when they returned, the apostles described to him all that they had done. And he took them along and withdrew privately to a town called Bethsaida.
9:11 But when the crowds found out, they followed him, and welcoming them, he began to speak to them about the kingdom of God, and he cured those who had need of healing.
9:12 Now the day began to be far spent, and the twelve came up and said to him, “Send away the crowd so that they can go into the surrounding villages and farms to obtain lodging and find provisions, because we are here in a desolate place.
9:13 But he said to them, “You give them something to eat!” And they said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless perhaps we go and purchase food for all these people.”
9:14 (For there were about five thousand men.) So he said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”
9:15 And they did so, and had them all sit down.
9:16 And taking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke them and began giving them to the disciples to set before the crowd.
9:17 And they all ate and were satisfied, and what was left over was picked up by them—twelve baskets of broken pieces.
