Numbers 11:30 - 12:16

11:30 Then Moses and the elders of Israel were gathered to the camp.
11:31 The Quail Then a wind set out from Yahweh, and it drove quails from the west, and he spread them out on the camp about a day’s journey on one side and about a day’s journey on the other, all around the camp, about two cubits on the surface of the land.
11:32 And so the people worked all day and all night and all the next day, and they gathered the quail (the least of the ones collecting gathered ten homers).
11:33 While the meat was still between their teeth, before it was consumed, Yahweh was angry with the people, and Yahweh struck a very great plague among the people.
11:34 And he called the name of that place Kibroth Hattaavah because they buried the people that were greedy.
11:35 From Kibroth Hattaavah the people set out to Hazeroth; and they stayed in Hazeroth.
12:1 Aaron and Miriam Murmur Against Moses And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he took (because he took a Cushite wife);
12:2 and they said, “Has Yahweh spoken only through Moses? Has not Yahweh also spoken through us?” And Yahweh heard it.
12:3 Now the man, Moses, was more humble than any other person on the face of the earth,
12:4 and Yahweh said suddenly to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, “Go out, you three, to the tent of assembly.” So the three of them when out.
12:5 And Yahweh went down in a column of cloud and stood at the doorway of the tent, and he called Aaron and Miriam, and the two of them went,
12:6 and he said, “Please hear my words: If there is a prophet among you, I, Yahweh, will make myself known to him in a vision. I will speak to him in a dream.
12:7 Not so with my servant Moses; in all my house he is faithful.
12:8 I will speak to him mouth to mouth, in clearness, not in riddles; and he will look at the form of Yahweh. Why were you not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?”
12:9 And Yahweh became very angry with them, and he went away.
12:10 And the cloud departed from on the tent, and behold, Miriam was infected with a skin disease white like snow; when Aaron turned toward Miriam, behold, she was afflicted with a skin disease.
12:11 So Aaron said to Moses, “Please, my lord, please do not put on us this sin in which we were foolish and in which we have sinned.
12:12 Please do not let her be like the dead, whose flesh is half consumed when coming out from the womb of its mother.”
12:13 And Moses cried to Yahweh, saying, “God, please heal her!”
12:14 But Yahweh said to Moses, “If her father had surely spit in her face, would she not bear her shame for seven days? Let her be confined for seven days to an outside place of the camp, and afterward she may be gathered.”
12:15 So Miriam was confined to the outside place of the camp seven days, and the people did not set out until Miriam was gathered.
12:16 And afterward the people set out from Hazeroth, and they encamped in the desert of Paran.

LEB translation

Luke 11:1-28

11:1 How to Pray And it happened that while he was in a certain place praying, when he stopped a certain one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught his disciples.”
11:2 And he said to them, “When you pray, say, “Father, may your name be treated as holy. May your kingdom come.
11:3 Give us each day our daily bread.
11:4 And forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And do not lead us into temptation.”
11:5 Ask, Seek, Knock And he said to them, “Who of you will have a friend, and will go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves,
11:6 because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I do not have anything to set before him.’
11:7 And that one will answer from inside and say, ‘Do not cause me trouble! The door has already been shut and my children are with me in bed! I am not able to get up to give you anything.’
11:8 I tell you, even if he does not give him anything after he gets up because he is his friend, at any rate because of his impudence he will get up and give him whatever he needs.
11:9 And I tell you, ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and it will be opened for you.
11:10 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.
11:11 But what father from among you, if his son will ask for a fish, instead of a fish will give him a snake?
11:12 Or also, if he will ask for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
11:13 Therefore if you, although you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father from heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”
11:14 A House Divided Cannot Stand And he was expelling a mute demon. Now it happened that when the demon came out, the man who had been mute spoke, and the crowds were astonished.
11:15 But some of them said, “By Beelzebul the ruler of demons he expels demons!”
11:16 And others, in order to test him, were demanding from him a sign from heaven.
11:17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and a divided household falls.
11:18 So if Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I expel demons by Beelzebul.
11:19 But if I expel demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons expel them? For this reason they will be your judges!
11:20 But if I expel demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you!
11:21 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his possessions are safe.
11:22 But when a stronger man attacks him and conquers him, he takes away his full armor in which he trusted and distributes his plunder.
11:23 The one who is not with me is against me, and the one who does not gather with me scatters.
11:24 An Unclean Spirit Returns “Whenever an unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it travels through waterless places searching for rest, and does not find it. It says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came out.’
11:25 And when it arrives it finds the house swept and put in order.
11:26 Then it goes and brings along seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in and live there. And the last state of that person becomes worse than the first!”
11:27 Now it happened that as he said these things, a certain woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed!”
11:28 But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God and follow it!”
