Numbers 21:21 - 22:1

21:21 Sihon and Og Defeated Israel sent messengers to Sihon, the king of the Amorites, saying,
21:22 “Let us go through your land; we will not turn aside into a field or vineyard; we will not drink well water along the way of the king until we have gone through your territory.”
21:23 But Sihon did not allow Israel to go through his territory. Sihon gathered all his people and went out to meet Israel; he came to the desert, to Jahaz, and he fought against Israel.
21:24 But Israel struck him with the edge of the sword, and they took possession of his land from Arnon to Jabbok, until the Ammonites, because the boundary of the Ammonites was strong.
21:25 Israel took all these cities, and Israel inhabited all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its environs.
21:26 Because Heshbon was the city of Sihon king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab and taken all his land from his hand until Arnon.
21:27 Thus the ones who quote proverbs say, “Come to Heshbon! Let it be built! And let the city of Sihon be established.
21:28 Because fire went out from Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon; it consumed Ar of Moab, the lords of the high places of Arnon.
21:29 Woe to you, Moab! You have perished, people of Chemosh. He has given his sons as fugitives, and his daughters into captivity, to the king of the Amorites, Sihon.
21:30     We destroyed them; Heshbon has perished up to Dibon; we laid waste up to Nophah, which reaches Medeba.”
21:31 Thus Israel lived in the land of the Amorites.
21:32 Moses sent to explore Jaazer; they captured its environs and dispossessed the Amorites who were there.
21:33 Then they turned and went up by the way of the Bashan, and Og king of the Bashan and all his people went out to meet them for battle at Edrei.
21:34 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Do not fear him because I will give him and all his people and all his land into your hand. You will do to him just as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who was living in Heshbon.”
21:35 And so they destroyed him and his sons, and all his people until they had not spared a survivor; and they took possession of his land.
22:1 Balak and Balaam The Israelites set out, and they encamped on the desert-plateau of Moab, across from Jericho beyond the Jordan.

Gospel — Luke 20:27-40

LEB translation

Luke 20:27-40

20:27 A Question About Marriage and the Resurrection Now some of the Sadducees—who deny that there is a resurrection—came up and asked him,
20:28 saying, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us if someone’s brother dies having a wife, and this man is childless, that his brother should take the wife and father descendants for his brother.
20:29 Now there were seven brothers, and the first took a wife and died childless,
20:30 and the second,
20:31 and the third took her, and likewise also the seven did not leave children and died.
20:32 Finally the woman also died.
20:33 Therefore in the resurrection, the woman—whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as wife.”
20:34 And Jesus said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage,
20:35 but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage,
20:36 for they are not even able to die any longer, because they are like the angels and are sons of God, because they are sons of the resurrection.
20:37 But that the dead are raised, even Moses revealed in the passage about the bush, when he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.
20:38 Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him!”
20:39 And some of the scribes answered and said, “Teacher, you have spoken well.”
20:40 For they no longer dared to ask him anything.
