Day 84 of 365

Num 29:40–30:16

29:40 Moses told the children of Israel according to all that the Lord commanded Moses.

30:1 Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, "This is the thing which the Lord has commanded.

30:2 When a man vows a vow to the Lord, or swears an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.

30:3 "Also when a woman vows a vow to the Lord, and binds herself by a bond, being in her father's house, in her youth,

30:4 and her father hears her vow, and her bond with which she has bound her soul, and her father holds his peace at her; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she has bound her soul shall stand.

30:5 But if her father disallow her in the day that he hears, none of her vows, or of her bonds with which she has bound her soul, shall stand: and the Lord will forgive her, because her father disallowed her.

30:6 "If she has a husband, while her vows are on her, or the rash utterance of her lips, with which she has bound her soul,

30:7 and her husband hears it, and holds his peace at her in the day that he hears it; then her vows shall stand, and her bonds with which she has bound her soul shall stand.

30:8 But if her husband forbids her in the day that he hears it, then he shall make void her vow which is on her, and the rash utterance of her lips, with which she has bound her soul: and the Lord will forgive her.

30:9 "But the vow of a widow, or of her who is divorced, everything with which she has bound her soul, shall stand against her.

30:10 "If she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath,

30:11 and her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and did not disallow her; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she bound her soul shall stand.

30:12 But if her husband made them null and void in the day that he heard them, then whatever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband has made them void; and the Lord will forgive her.

30:13 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.

30:14 But if her husband altogether holds his peace at her from day to day, then he establishes all her vows, or all her bonds, which are on her: he has established them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them.

30:15 But if he shall make them null and void after that he has heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity."

30:16 These are the statutes, which the Lord commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, being in her youth, in her father's house.

Luke 3:19–4:12

3:19 but Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias, his brother's wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done,

3:20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.

3:21 Now it happened, when all the people were baptized, Jesus also had been baptized, and was praying. The sky was opened,

3:22 and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form as a dove on him; and a voice came out of the sky, saying "You are my beloved Son. In you I am well pleased."

3:23 Jesus himself, when he began to teach, was about thirty years old, being the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Eli,

3:24 the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melchi, the son of Jannai, the son of Joseph,

3:25 the son of Mattathias, the son of Amos, the son of Nahum, the son of Esli, the son of Naggai,

3:26 the son of Maath, the son of Mattathias, the son of Shimei, the son of Josech, the son of Joda,

3:27 the son of John, the son of Rhesa, the son of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, the son of Neri,

3:28 the son of Melchi, the son of Addi, the son of Cosam, the son of Elmadam, the son of Er,

3:29 the son of Jesus, the son of Eliezer, the son of Jorim, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi,

3:30 the son of Simeon, the son of Judah, the son of Joseph, the son of Jonam, the son of Eliakim,

3:31 the son of Melea, the son of Menna, the son of Mattathah, the son of Nathan, the son of David,

3:32 the son of Jesse, the son of Obed, the son of Boaz, the son of Salmon, the son of Nahshon,

3:33 the son of Amminadab, the son of Ram, the son of Hezron, the son of Perez, the son of Judah,

3:34 the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor,

3:35 the son of Serug, the son of Reu, the son of Peleg, the son of Eber, the son of Shelah,

3:36 the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech,

3:37 the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalalel, the son of Kenan,

3:38 the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.

4:1 Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness

4:2 for forty days, being tempted by the devil. He ate nothing in those days. When they were completed, he was hungry.

4:3 The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread."

4:4 Jesus answered him, saying, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone.'"

4:5 He led him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

4:6 The devil said to him, "I will give you all this authority, and their glory, for it has been delivered to me; and I give it to whomever I want.

4:7 If you therefore will worship before me, it will all be yours."

4:8 Jesus answered and said to him, "It is written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.'"

4:9 He led him to Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down from here,

4:10 for it is written, 'He will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you;'

4:11 and, 'On their hands they will bear you up, lest perhaps you dash your foot against a stone.'"

4:12 Jesus answering, said to him, "It is said, 'You shall not tempt the Lord your God.'"

Ps 37:1–40

1 ALEPH Do not fret because of evildoers, neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness.

2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither like the green herb.

3 Trust in the Lord, and do good. Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture.

4 Also delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

5 Commit your way to the Lord. Trust also in him, and he will do this:

6 he will make your righteousness go forth as the light, and your justice as the noon day sun.

7 Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him. Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.

8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath. Do not fret, it leads only to evildoing.

9 For evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land.

10 For yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more. Yes, though you look for his place, he isn't there.

11 But the humble shall inherit the land, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

12 The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes at him with his teeth.

13 The Lord will laugh at him, for he sees that his day is coming.

14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, to kill those who are upright in the way.

15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart. Their bows shall be broken.

16 Better is a little that the righteous has, than the abundance of many wicked.

17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but the Lord upholds the righteous.

18 The Lord knows the days of the perfect. Their inheritance shall be forever.

19 They shall not be disappointed in the time of evil. In the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

20 But the wicked shall perish. The enemies of the Lord shall be like the beauty of the fields. They will vanish- vanish like smoke.

21 The wicked borrow, and do not pay back, but the righteous give generously.

22 For such as are blessed by him shall inherit the land. Those who are cursed by him shall be cut off.

23 A man's goings are established by the Lord. He delights in his way.

24 Though he stumble, he shall not fall, for the Lord holds him up with his hand.

25 I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his children begging for bread.

26 All day long he deals graciously, and lends. His seed is blessed.

27 Depart from evil, and do good. Live securely forever.

28 For the Lord loves justice, and doesn't forsake his holy ones. They are preserved forever, but the children of the wicked shall be cut off.

29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and live in it forever.

30 The mouth of the righteous talks of wisdom. His tongue speaks justice.

31 The law of his God is in his heart. None of his steps shall slide.

32 The wicked watches the righteous, and seeks to kill him.

33 The Lord will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.

34 Wait for the Lord, and keep his way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.

35 I have seen the wicked in great power, spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.

36 But he passed away, and behold, he was not. Yes, I sought him, but he could not be found.

37 Mark the perfect man, and see the upright, for there is a future for the man of peace.

38 As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together. The future of the wicked shall be cut off.

39 But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord. He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.

40 The Lord helps them, and rescues them. He rescues them from the wicked, and saves them, Because they have taken refuge in him.
