Old Testament:  Numbers 1-2

Numbers 1

Registration of Israel's Troops
 1  A year after Israel's departure from Egypt, the LORD spoke to Moses in the Tabernacle [1]  in the wilderness of Sinai. On the first day of the second month [1]  of that year he said,  2  "From the whole community of Israel, record the names of all the warriors by their clans and families. List all the men  3  twenty years old or older who are able to go to war. You and Aaron must register the troops,  4  and you will be assisted by one family leader from each tribe.
   5  "These are the tribes and the names of the leaders who will assist you:
Tribe Leader
Reuben Elizur son of Shedeur
 6  Simeon Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai
 7  Judah Nahshon son of Amminadab
 8  Issachar Nethanel son of Zuar
 9  Zebulun Eliab son of Helon
 10  Ephraim son of Joseph Elishama son of Ammihud
Manasseh son of Joseph Gamaliel son of Pedahzur
 11  Benjamin Abidan son of Gideoni
 12  Dan Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai
 13  Asher Pagiel son of Ocran
 14  Gad Eliasaph son of Deuel
 15  Naphtali Ahira son of Enan


 16  These are the chosen leaders of the community, the leaders of their ancestral tribes, the heads of the clans of Israel."
   17  So Moses and Aaron called together these chosen leaders,  18  and they assembled the whole community of Israel on that very day. [18]  All the people were registered according to their ancestry by their clans and families. The men of Israel who were twenty years old or older were listed one by one,  19  just as the LORD had commanded Moses. So Moses recorded their names in the wilderness of Sinai.
   20-21  This is the number of men twenty years old or older who were able to go to war, as their names were listed in the records of their clans and families [20-21] :
Tribe Number
Reuben (Jacob's [20-21]  oldest son) 46,500
 22-23  Simeon 59,300
 24-25  Gad 45,650
 26-27  Judah 74,600
 28-29  Issachar 54,400
 30-31  Zebulun 57,400
 32-33  Ephraim son of Joseph 40,500
 34-35  Manasseh son of Joseph 32,200
 36-37  Benjamin 35,400
 38-39  Dan 62,700
 40-41  Asher 41,500
 42-43  Naphtali 53,400


 44  These were the men registered by Moses and Aaron and the twelve leaders of Israel, all listed according to their ancestral descent.  45  They were registered by families—all the men of Israel who were twenty years old or older and able to go to war.  46  The total number was 603,550.
   47  But this total did not include the Levites.  48  For the LORD had said to Moses,  49  "Do not include the tribe of Levi in the registration; do not count them with the rest of the Israelites.  50  Put the Levites in charge of the Tabernacle of the Covenant, [50]  along with all its furnishings and equipment. They must carry the Tabernacle and all its furnishings as you travel, and they must take care of it and camp around it.  51  Whenever it is time for the Tabernacle to move, the Levites will take it down. And when it is time to stop, they will set it up again. But any unauthorized person who goes too near the Tabernacle must be put to death.  52  Each tribe of Israel will camp in a designated area with its own family banner.  53  But the Levites will camp around the Tabernacle of the Covenant to protect the community of Israel from the LORD's anger. The Levites are responsible to stand guard around the Tabernacle."
   54  So the Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Numbers 2

Organization for Israel's Camp
 1  Then the LORD gave these instructions to Moses and Aaron:  2  "When the Israelites set up camp, each tribe will be assigned its own area. The tribal divisions will camp beneath their family banners on all four sides of the Tabernacle, [2]  but at some distance from it.
   3-4  "The divisions of Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun are to camp toward the sunrise on the east side of the Tabernacle, beneath their family banners. These are the names of the tribes, their leaders, and the numbers of their registered troops:
Tribe Leader Number
Judah Nahshon son of Amminadab 74,600
 5-6  Issachar Nethanel son of Zuar 54,400
 7-8  Zebulun Eliab son of Helon 57,400


 9  So the total of all the troops on Judah's side of the camp is 186,400. These three tribes are to lead the way whenever the Israelites travel to a new campsite.
   10-11  "The divisions of Reuben, Simeon, and Gad are to camp on the south side of the Tabernacle, beneath their family banners. These are the names of the tribes, their leaders, and the numbers of their registered troops:
Tribe Leader Number
Reuben Elizur son of Shedeur 46,500
 12-13  Simeon Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai 59,300
 14-15  Gad Eliasaph son of Deuel [14-15]  45,650


 16  So the total of all the troops on Reuben's side of the camp is 151,450. These three tribes will be second in line whenever the Israelites travel.
   17  "Then the Tabernacle, carried by the Levites, will set out from the middle of the camp. All the tribes are to travel in the same order that they camp, each in position under the appropriate family banner.
   18-19  "The divisions of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Benjamin are to camp on the west side of the Tabernacle, beneath their family banners. These are the names of the tribes, their leaders, and the numbers of their registered troops:
Tribe Leader Number
Ephraim Elishama son of Ammihud 40,500
 20-21  Manasseh Gamaliel son of Pedahzur 32,200
 22-23  Benjamin Abidan son of Gideoni 35,400


 24  So the total of all the troops on Ephraim's side of the camp is 108,100. These three tribes will be third in line whenever the Israelites travel.
   25-26  "The divisions of Dan, Asher, and Naphtali are to camp on the north side of the Tabernacle, beneath their family banners. These are the names of the tribes, their leaders, and the numbers of their registered troops:
Tribe Leader Number
Dan Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai 62,700
 27-28  Asher Pagiel son of Ocran 41,500
 29-30  Naphtali Ahira son of Enan 53,400


 31  So the total of all the troops on Dan's side of the camp is 157,600. These three tribes will be last, marching under their banners whenever the Israelites travel."
   32  In summary, the troops of Israel listed by their families totaled 603,550.  33  But as the LORD had commanded, the Levites were not included in this registration.  34  So the people of Israel did everything as the LORD had commanded Moses. Each clan and family set up camp and marched under their banners exactly as the LORD had instructed them.

New Testament:  Mark 3:1-19

Mark 3 : 1-19

Jesus Heals on the Sabbath
 1  Jesus went into the synagogue again and noticed a man with a deformed hand.  2  Since it was the Sabbath, Jesus' enemies watched him closely. If he healed the man's hand, they planned to accuse him of working on the Sabbath.
   3  Jesus said to the man with the deformed hand, "Come and stand in front of everyone."  4  Then he turned to his critics and asked, "Does the law permit good deeds on the Sabbath, or is it a day for doing evil? Is this a day to save life or to destroy it?" But they wouldn't answer him.    5  He looked around at them angrily and was deeply saddened by their hard hearts. Then he said to the man, "Hold out your hand." So the man held out his hand, and it was restored!  6  At once the Pharisees went away and met with the supporters of Herod to plot how to kill Jesus.

Crowds Follow Jesus
 7  Jesus went out to the lake with his disciples, and a large crowd followed him. They came from all over Galilee, Judea,  8  Jerusalem, Idumea, from east of the Jordan River, and even from as far north as Tyre and Sidon. The news about his miracles had spread far and wide, and vast numbers of people came to see him.
   9  Jesus instructed his disciples to have a boat ready so the crowd would not crush him.  10  He had healed many people that day, so all the sick people eagerly pushed forward to touch him.  11  And whenever those possessed by evil spirits caught sight of him, the spirits would throw them to the ground in front of him shrieking, "You are the Son of God!"  12  But Jesus sternly commanded the spirits not to reveal who he was.

Jesus Chooses the Twelve Apostles
 13  Afterward Jesus went up on a mountain and called out the ones he wanted to go with him. And they came to him.  14  "Then he appointed twelve of them and called them his apostles. They were to accompany him, and he would send them out to preach, ..."  15  giving them authority to cast out demons.  16  These are the twelve he chose:

Simon (whom he named Peter),
 17  James and John (the sons of Zebedee, but Jesus nicknamed them "Sons of Thunder" [17] ),
 18  Andrew,
Philip,
Bartholomew,
Matthew,
Thomas,
James (son of Alphaeus),
Thaddaeus,
Simon (the zealot [18] ),
 19  Judas Iscariot (who later betrayed him).

<<  3:11 Greek unclean; also in 3:30.
<<  3:14 Some manuscripts do not include and called them his apostles.
<<  3:17 Greek whom he named Boanerges, which means Sons of Thunder.
<<  3:18 Greek the Cananean, an Aramaic term for Jewish nationalists.
