Deuteronomy 33:27 - 34:12

33:27 The God of ancient time is a hiding place, and underneath are the arms of eternity, and he drove out from before you your enemy, and he said, ‘Destroy them!’
33:28 So Israel dwells alone and carefree, the spring of Jacob in a land of grain and wine; his heavens even drip dew.
33:29 Blessed are you, O Israel. Who is like you, a people who is saved by Yahweh, the shield of your help, and who is the sword of your triumph, and your enemies, they shall fawn before you, and you shall tread on their backs.”
34:1 The Death of Moses and the Commissioning of Joshua Then Moses went up from the desert plateau of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is opposite Jericho, and Yahweh showed him all of the land, Gilead all the way up to Dan,
34:2 and all of Naphtali and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh and all of the land of Judah, up to the western sea,
34:3 and the Negev and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palms, on up to Zoar.
34:4 And Yahweh said to him, “This is the land that I swore to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob, saying, ‘To your offspring I will give it.’ I have let you see it with your eyes, but you shall not cross into it.”
34:5 Then Moses, the servant of Yahweh, died there in the land of Moab according to the command of Yahweh.
34:6 And he buried him in the valley in the land of Moab opposite Beth Peor. But until this day no one knows his burial site.
34:7 Now Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died; his sight was not impaired and his vigor had not abated.
34:8 And the Israelites wept concerning Moses thirty days; finally the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were completed.
34:9 Now Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom because Moses had placed his hands on him, and the Israelites listened to him, and they did as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
34:10 And not again has a prophet arisen in Israel like Moses, whom Yahweh knew face to face,
34:11 as far as all the signs and the wonders Yahweh sent him to do in the land of Egypt, against Pharaoh and all of his servants and against all of his land,
34:12 and as far as all of the mighty deeds and as far as the great awesome wonders Moses did before the eyes of all Israel.

LEB translation

Acts 28:17 - 28:30

28:17 Paul and the Jewish Community in Rome Now it happened that after three days, he called together those who were the most prominent of the Jews. And when they had assembled, he said to them, “Men and brothers, although I had done nothing against our people or the customs of our fathers, from Jerusalem I was delivered as a prisoner into the hands of the Romans,
28:18 who, when they had examined me, were wanting to release me, because there was no basis for an accusation worthy of death with me.
28:19 But because the Jews objected, I was forced to appeal to Caesar (not as if I had any charge to bring against my own people).
28:20 Therefore for this reason I have requested to see you and to speak with you, for because of the hope of Israel I am wearing this chain!”
28:21 And they said to him, “We have received no letters about you from Judea, nor has any of the brothers come and reported or spoken anything evil about you.
28:22 But we would like to hear from you what you think, for concerning this sect it is known to us that it is spoken against everywhere.”
28:23 And when they had set a day with him, many more came to him at his lodging place, to whom he was explaining from early in the morning until evening, testifying about the kingdom of God and attempting to convince them about Jesus from both the law of Moses and the prophets.
28:24 And some were convinced by what was said, but others refused to believe.
28:25 So being in disagreement with one another, they began to leave after Paul made one statement: “The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through the prophet Isaiah to your fathers,
28:26 saying, ‘Go to this people and say, “You will keep on hearing and will never understand, and you will keep on seeing and will never perceive.
28:27     For the heart of this people has become dull, and with their ears they hear with difficulty, and they have shut their eyes, lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn, and I would heal them.”’
28:28 Therefore let it be known to you that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles. They also will listen!”
28:29 Verse text not available.
28:30 So he stayed two whole years in his own rented house, and welcomed all who came to him,
