Numbers 10:35 - 11:29

10:35 And whenever the ark was setting out Moses would say, “Rise up, Yahweh! May your enemies be scattered; may the ones that hate you flee from your presence.”
10:36 And when it rested he would say, “Return, Yahweh, to the countless thousands of Israel.”
11:1 The Israelites Complain And it happened, the people were like those who complain of hardship in the hearing of Yahweh, and Yahweh became angry, and the fire of Yahweh burned among them, and it consumed the edge of the camp.
11:2 Then the people cried out to Moses, and Moses prayed to Yahweh, and the fire died down.
11:3 And he called the name of that place Taberah because the fire of Yahweh burned among them.
11:4 The riff-raff that were in their midst had a strong desire; and the Israelites turned back and also wept, and they said, “Who will feed us meat?
11:5 We remember the fish that we ate in Egypt for nothing, the cucumber, melon, leek, the onions, and the garlic.
11:6 But now our strength is dried up; there is nothing whatsoever except for the manna before us.”
11:7 Now the manna was like coriander seed, and its outward appearance was like that of bdellium-gum.
11:8 The people went about and gathered it, and they ground it with mills or crushed it with mortar. Then they boiled it in a pot and made it into bread-cakes; and it tasted like olive oil cakes.
11:9 When the dew came down on the camp at night, the manna came down with it.
11:10 Moses heard the people weeping according to their clans, each at the doorway of their tents. Then Yahweh became very angry, and in the eyes of Moses it was bad.
11:11 And Moses said to Yahweh, “Why have you brought trouble to your servant? Why have I not found favor in your eyes, that the burdens of all these people have been placed on me?
11:12 Did I conceive all these people? If I have fathered them, that you could say to me, ‘Carry them in your lap, just as a foster-father carries the suckling on the land that you swore an oath to their ancestors?’
11:13 From where do I have meat to give all these people? They weep before me, saying, ‘Give us meat and let us eat!’
11:14 I am not able to carry all these people along alone; they are too heavy for me.
11:15 If this is how you are going to treat me, please kill me immediately if I find favor in your eyes, and do not let me see my misery.”
11:16 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Gather for me seventy men from the elders of Israel whom you know are elders of the people and their officials; take them to the tent of assembly, and they will stand there with you.
11:17 I will come down and speak with you there; I will take away from the spirit that is on you, and I will place it on them; and they will bear the burdens of the people with you; you will not bear it alone.
11:18 And you will say to the people, ‘Sanctify yourselves tomorrow, for you will eat meat because you have wept in the ears of Yahweh, saying, “Who will feed us good meat? It was good for us in Egypt.” Yahweh will give to you meat, and you will eat.
11:19 You will eat, not one day, or two days, or five days, or ten days, or twenty days,
11:20 but for a whole month, until it comes out from your nose and becomes as nausea to you; because you have rejected Yahweh, who is in your midst, and you wept before his presence, saying, “Why did we ever leave Egypt?”’”
11:21 But Moses said, “There are six hundred thousand on foot, among whom I am in the midst, and you yourself said, ‘I will give meat to them, and they will eat for a whole month.’
11:22 Should flocks and cattle be slaughtered for them? Should all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to be enough for them?”
11:23 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Is Yahweh’s power limited? Now you will see if my word will happen or not.”
11:24 So Moses went out, and he spoke the words of Yahweh to the people, and he gathered together seventy men from the elders of the people, and he made them stand all around the tent.
11:25 Then Yahweh went down in the cloud and spoke to him, and he took away the spirit that was on him, and he put it on the seventy elders. And as soon as the spirit was resting on them they prophesied, but they did not do it again.
11:26 But two men were left in the camp; the name of one was Eldad, and the name of the second was Medad, and the spirit rested on them; they were among those who were written down, but they did not go out to the tent, so they prophesied in the camp.
11:27 So a boy ran and told Moses and said, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”
11:28 And Joshua son of Nun, the assistant of Moses from time of his youth, answered, “Moses, my lord, stop them.”
11:29 But Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for my sake? Would that he give all Yahweh’s people prophets, that Yahweh put his spirit on them!”

Luke 10:25-42

10:25 The Parable of the Good Samaritan And behold, a certain legal expert stood up to test him, saying, “Teacher, what must I do so that I will inherit eternal life?”
10:26 And he said to him, “What is written in the law? How do you read it?”
10:27 And he answered and said, “You shall love the Lord your God from all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.”
10:28 And he said to him, “You have answered correctly. Do this and you will live.”
10:29 But he, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
10:30 And Jesus replied and said, “A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell into the hands of robbers, who both stripped him and beat him. After inflicting blows on him, they went away, leaving him half dead.
10:31 Now by coincidence a certain priest was going down on that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side.
10:32 And in the same way also a Levite, when he came down to the place and saw him, passed by on the opposite side.
10:33 But a certain Samaritan who was traveling came up to him and, when he saw him, had compassion.
10:34 And he came up and bandaged his wounds, pouring on olive oil and wine, and he put him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him.
10:35 And on the next day, he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, and said, “Take care of him, and whatever you spend in addition, I will repay to you when I return.
10:36 Which of these three do you suppose became a neighbor of the man who fell among the robbers?”
10:37 So he said, “The one who showed mercy to him.” And Jesus said to him, “You go and do likewise.”
10:38 Martha and Mary Now as they traveled along, he entered into a certain village. And a certain woman named Martha welcomed him.
10:39 And she had a sister named Mary, who also sat at the feet of Jesus and was listening to his teaching.
10:40 But Martha was distracted with much preparation, so she approached and said, “Lord, is it not a concern to you that my sister has left me alone to make preparations? Then tell her that she should help me!”
10:41 But the Lord answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things!
10:42 But few things are necessary, or only one thing, for Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her.”
