NUMBERS 19

Laws of Purification

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying: 
2 (Dt 21:3; Lev 22:20-25) This is the statute of the law which the Lord has 
commanded, saying: Tell the children of Israel that they will bring you 
a healthy red heifer, which has no blemish, 
and on which a yoke has never gone, 
3 (Lev 4:12; 4:21) and you will give it to Eleazar the priest, 
and he will bring it outside the camp, and it will be slaughtered before him. 
4 (Lev 4:17; 4:6) And Eleazar the priest will take from its blood 
with his finger and sprinkle some of its blood directly 
before the tent of meeting seven times. 
5 (Ex 29:14; Lev 4:11-12) Then it will be burned in his sight. 
Its hide and its flesh and its blood, with her dung, will be burned. 
6 (Lev 14:4; 14:6) And the priest will take cedar wood, and hyssop, 
and scarlet and throw it into the midst of the burning of the heifer. 
7 (Lev 11:25) Then the priest will wash his clothes, and he will bathe 
his body in water, and afterward he will come into the camp, and 
the priest will be unclean until evening. 
8 He who burns it will wash his clothes in water, and bathe his body 
in water, and will be unclean until evening.
9 (Nu 19:13; Heb 9:13) A man who is clean will gather the ashes of the heifer 
and deposit them outside the camp in a clean place, and it will be guarded 
for the assembly of the children of Israel for water of purification.
It is for purifying from sin. 
10 He that gathers the ashes of the heifer will wash his clothes 
and be unclean until evening, and it will be for the children of Israel 
and for the foreigner that lives among them, for an eternal statute.
11 (Nu 5:2; Lev 21:1) He that touches the dead body of any man will 
be unclean seven days. 
12 (Nu 31:19) He will make himself clean on the third day, 
and on the seventh day he will be clean. But if he does not make himself 
clean on the third day, then the seventh day he will not be clean. 
13 (Lev 15:31; 22:3) Whoever touches the body of any man that is dead 
and does not purify himself defiles the tabernacle of the Lord, 
and that person will be cut off from Israel. 
Because the water of purification was not sprinkled on him, 
he will be unclean. His uncleanness is still on him.
14 This is the law, when a man dies in a tent. Each person who comes 
into the tent and all that is in the tent will be unclean seven days. 
15 (Lev 11:32; Nu 31:20) Every open vessel which has no covering
fastened on it is unclean.
16 (Nu 31:19; Mt 23:27) Whoever in the field touches one that is slain 
with a sword, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave will 
be unclean seven days.
17 For an unclean person they will take from the ashes of the burnt 
sin offering, and running water will be on it in a vessel. 
18 A clean person will take hyssop, and dip it in the water, 
and splash it on the tent, and on all the vessels, and on the people who 
were there, and on him that touched a bone, or one slain, or one dead,
 or a grave. 
19 (Lev 14:9; Nu 19:12) The clean person will splash on the unclean person 
on the third day and on the seventh day. And on the seventh day he shall 
purify himself, wash his clothes, and bathe in water; and he will be clean 
at evening. 
20 (Nu 19:13) But the man who is unclean and does not purify himself,
that person will be cut off from among the assembly 
because he has defiled the sanctuary of the Lord. 
The water of purification has not been sprinkled on him. He is unclean. 
21 It will be an eternal statute to them.
He that sprinkles the water of purification will wash his clothes, 
and he that touches the water of purification will be unclean until evening. 
22 (Hag 2:13) Whatever the unclean person touches will be unclean, 
and the person that touches it will be unclean until evening.

Numbers 19
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
[2] This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD hath commanded, saying,
Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without
spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke:
[3] And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her
forth without the camp, and one shall slay her before his face:
[4] And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and
sprinkle of her blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation
seven times:
[5] And one shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and
her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:
[6] And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast
it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.
[7] Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in
water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be
unclean until the even.
[8] And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his
flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.
[9] And a man that is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay
them up without the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the
congregation of the children of Israel for a water of separation: it is a
purification for sin.
[10] And he that gathereth the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes,
and be unclean until the even: and it shall be unto the children of Israel,
and unto the stranger that sojourneth among them, for a statute for ever.
[11] He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days.
[12] He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh
day he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself the third day, then the
seventh day he shall not be clean.
[13] Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth
not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the LORD; and that soul shall be cut
off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him,
he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him.
[14] This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that come into the
tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.
[15] And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, is
unclean.
[16] And whosoever toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the open
fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean
seven days.
[17] And for an unclean person they shall take of the ashes of the burnt
heifer of purification for sin, and running water shall be put thereto in a
vessel:
[18] And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and
sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons
that were there, and upon him that touched a bone, or one slain, or one
dead, or a grave:
[19] And the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day,
and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and
wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even.
[20] But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that
soul shall be cut off from among the congregation, because he hath defiled
the sanctuary of the LORD: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled
upon him; he is unclean.
[21] And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them, that he that sprinkleth
the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and he that toucheth the
water of separation shall be unclean until even.
[22] And whatsoever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and the
soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even.

NUMBERS 20

Moses Strikes the Rock

1 (Nu 13:21; Ex 15:20) Then the children of Israel, the whole assembly, 
came to the Wilderness of Zin in the first month, and the people dwelt 
in Kadesh, and Miriam died there and was buried there.
2 (Nu 16:19; 16:42) And there was no water for the assembly, and they 
gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron. 
3 (Ex 17:2; Nu 16:31-35) The people argued with Moses, and spoke, saying, 
"O that we had died when our brothers died before the Lord! 
4 (Ex 17:3) And why have you brought up the assembly of the Lord 
into this wilderness, that we and our livestock should die here? 
5 (Nu 16:14) And why have you brought us up from Egypt, to bring 
us into this evil place? It is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, 
or of pomegranates. Nor is there any water to drink."
6 (Nu 14:5; 16:4) Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly 
to the door of the tent of meeting, and they fell on their faces, 
and the glory of the Lord appeared to them. 
7 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 
8 (Ex 4:17; 17:5-6) Take the rod, and gather the assembly together,
you and Aaron your brother, and speak to the rock before their eyes, 
and it will give its water, and you will bring out to them water 
from the rock; so you will give the assembly and their livestock drink.
9 (Nu 17:10) So Moses took the rod from before the Lord, as He commanded him. 
10 (Ps 106:32-33) Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly before the rock,
and he said to them, "Hear now, you rebels. 
Will we bring out water from this rock for you?"
11 (1Co 10:4; Ex 17:6) And Moses lifted up his hand, and he struck the rock 
twice with his rod, and plenty of water came out, and the assembly drank, 
and their livestock.
12 (Nu 27:14; Dt 1:37) The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, 
"Because you did not believe in Me, to sanctify Me in the eyes of 
the children of Israel, therefore you will not bring this assembly 
into the land which I have given them"
13 (Ex 17:7; Ps 95:8) This is the water of Meribah 
because the children of Israel argued with the Lord, 
and He was sanctified among them.

[1] Then came the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, into the
desert of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam
died there, and was buried there.
[2] And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered
themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.
[3] And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God that we
had died when our brethren died before the LORD!
[4] And why have ye brought up the congregation of the LORD into this
wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?
[5] And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in
unto this evil place? it is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of
pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink.
[6] And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door
of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and
the glory of the LORD appeared unto them.
[7] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[8] Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy
brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give
forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock:
so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.
[9] And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.
[10] And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock,
and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of
this rock?
[11] And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice:
and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their
beasts also.
[12] And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to
sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not
bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.
[13] This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove
with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.

Edom Denies Israel Passage

14 (Jdg 11:16-17; Dt 23:7) Moses sent messengers 
from Kadesh to the king of Edom,
"Thus says your brother Israel: You know all the hardship that has found us, 
15 (Ge 46:6; Ex 12:40) how our fathers went down into Egypt, 
and we lived in Egypt a long time, and the Egyptians distressed us 
and our fathers. 
16 (Ex 14:19; 23:20) And when we cried out to the Lord, He heard our voice 
and sent an angel and brought us out of Egypt.
"And here we are in Kadesh, a city on the edge of your territory. 
17 (Dt 2:27) Please let us pass through your land. We will not pass through 
the fields or the vineyards, or drink of the water of the wells. 
We will travel the king's highway. We will not turn to the right hand 
nor the left, until we have passed through your territory."
18 Edom said to him,
"You will not pass through me, lest with the sword I come out against you."
19 (Dt 2:6; 2:28) The children of Israel said to him,
"We will travel the highway, and if we and our livestock drink of your water, 
then we will pay for it. I will only go through on my feet 
without doing anything else.."
20 (Jdg 11:17; Am 1:11) He said,
"You will not go through."
And Edom came out against them with many people and with a strong hand. 
21 (Jdg 11:18; Dt 2:29) Edom refused to give Israel passage through 
his territory, so Israel turned away from him.

[14] And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus saith
thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us:
[15] How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a long
time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers:
[16] And when we cried unto the LORD, he heard our voice, and sent an angel,
and hath brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a
city in the uttermost of thy border:
[17] Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country: we will not pass through
the fields, or through the vineyards, neither will we drink of the water of
the wells: we will go by the king's highway, we will not turn to the right
hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy borders.
[18] And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out
against thee with the sword.
[19] And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the high way:
and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay for it: I will
only, without doing any thing else, go through on my feet.
[20] And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him
with much people, and with a strong hand.
[21] Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: wherefore
Israel turned away from him.

The Death of Aaron

22 (Nu 20:1; 20:14) They journeyed from Kadesh, and the children of Israel, 
even the whole assembly, came to Mount Hor. 
23 The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in Mount Hor, 
by the border of the land of Edom, saying, 
24 (Ge 25:8; Dt 32:50) "Aaron will be gathered to his people because 
he will not enter into the land which I have given to the children of Israel 
because you rebelled against Me at the water of Meribah. 
25 Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up to Mount Hor, 
26 (Nu 20:24) and strip Aaron of his garments, and put them on Eleazar 
his son, and Aaron will be gathered to his people, and he will die there."
27 Moses did as the Lord commanded, and they went up onto Mount Hor 
in the sight of all the assembly. 
28 (Dt 10:6; Ex 29:29-30) Moses stripped Aaron of his garments 
and put them on Eleazar his son. And Aaron died there 
on the top of the mountain, and Moses and Eleazar 
came down from the mountain. 
29 (Dt 34:8) When all the assembly saw that Aaron was dead, 
they wept for Aaron thirty days, all the house of Israel.

[22] And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, journeyed from
Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor.
[23] And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast of
the land of Edom, saying,
[24] Aaron shall be gathered unto his people: for he shall not enter into
the land which I have given unto the children of Israel, because ye rebelled
against my word at the water of Meribah.
[25] Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor:
[26] And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son: and
Aaron shall be gathered unto his people, and shall die there.
[27] And Moses did as the LORD commanded: and they went up into mount Hor in
the sight of all the congregation.
[28] And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his
son; and Aaron died there in the top of the mount: and Moses and Eleazar
came down from the mount.
[29] And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for
Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.

(Listen and Obey the Lord)

NUMBERS 21

Arad Destroyed

1 (Nu 33:40; Jdg 1:16) When King Arad the Canaanite, who lived in the Negev, 
heard that Israel came by the way of Atharim, he fought against Israel and 
took some of them captive. 
2 (Ge 28:20; Jdg 11:30) Israel vowed a vow to the Lord and said, 
"If You will indeed deliver this people into my hand, 
then I will utterly destroy their cities." 
3 (Nu 14:45; Dt 1:44) The Lord listened to the voice of Israel and delivered 
up the Canaanites, and they utterly destroyed them and their cities, 
and he called the name of the place Hormah.

[1] And when king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south, heard tell
that Israel came by the way of the spies; then he fought against Israel, and
took some of them prisoners.
[2] And Israel vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou wilt indeed
deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.
[3] And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the
Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and he called
the name of the place Hormah.

The Bronze Serpent

4 (Ex 6:9; Jdg 11:18) They journeyed from Mount Hor by the way of the Red Sea,
to go around the land of Edom, and the soul of the people was 
very discouraged because of the way. 
5 (Ps 78:19) The people spoke against God and against Moses, 
"Why have you brought us up from Egypt to die in the wilderness? 
For there is no bread or water, and our soul loathes this worthless manna."
6 (Dt 8:15; Jer 8:17) So the Lord sent poisonous serpents among the people, 
and they bit the people, and many children of Israel died. 
7 (Ex 8:8; Nu 11:2) So the people came to Moses and said, 
"We have sinned for we have spoken against the Lord and against you. 
Pray to the Lord, and He will take away the serpents from us." 
And Moses prayed for the people.
8 The Lord said to Moses, "Make a poisonous serpent, and put it on a pole, 
and it will be, that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, will live."
9 (2Ki 18:4; Jn 3:14-15) Moses made a bronze serpent and put it on a pole, 
and if a serpent had bitten any man, 
when he looked at the bronze serpent he lived.

[4] And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass
the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of
the way.
[5] And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye
brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread,
neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.
[6] And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the
people; and much people of Israel died.
[7] Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we
have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he
take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
[8] And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon
a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he
looketh upon it, shall live.
[9] And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came
to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of
brass, he lived.

The Journey to Moab

10 The children of Israel set out and camped in Oboth. 
11 They journeyed from Oboth and camped at Iye Abarim in the wilderness, 
which is before Moab toward the sunrise. 
12 (Dt 2:13-14) From there they journeyed and camped in the Valley of Zered. 
13 (Nu 22:36; Jdg 11:18) From there they journeyed and camped 
on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wilderness that comes 
out of the borders of the Amorites, for Arnon is the border of Moab, 
between Moab and the Amorites. 
14 Therefore it is said in the Book of the Wars of the Lord:
"Zahab in Suphah, and in the brooks
of Arnon, 
15 (Nu 21:28; Dt 2:9) and at the stream of the brooks
that goes down to the dwelling of Ar,
and lies on the border of Moab."
16 (Ex 17:6; Nu 20:8) From there they went to Beer. 
That is the well of which the Lord spoke to Moses, 
"Gather the people together, and I will give them water."
17 (Ps 105:2) Then Israel sang this song:
"Spring up, O well!
sing to it -
18 the leaders dug the well;
the nobles of the people dug,
by the lawgiver, with their staffs."
And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah, 
19 and from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth, 
20 (Nu 23:28) and from Bamoth in the valley that is in the country 
of Moab to the top of Pisgah, which looks toward Jeshimon.

[10] And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in Oboth.
[11] And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ije-abarim, in the
wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising.
[12] From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of Zared.
[13] From thence they removed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, which
is in the wilderness that cometh out of the coasts of the Amorites: for
Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
[14] Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the LORD, What he did
in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,
[15] And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the dwelling of Ar,
and lieth upon the border of Moab.
[16] And from thence they went to Beer: that is the well whereof the LORD
spake unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water.
[17] Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it:
[18] The princes digged the well, the nobles of the people digged it, by the
direction of the lawgiver, with their staves. And from the wilderness they
went to Mattanah:
[19] And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:
[20] And from Bamoth in the valley, that is in the country of Moab, to the
top of Pisgah, which looketh toward Jeshimon.

King Sihon Defeated

21 (Dt 2:26-28; Jdg 11:19-21) Israel sent messengers to Sihon 
king of the Amorites, saying,
22 (Nu 20:17) "Let me pass through your land. 
We will not turn into the fields nor into the vineyards. 
We will not drink of the waters of the well. 
But we will go along by the king's highway 
until we are past your borders."
23 (Jdg 11:20) Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his border. 
But Sihon gathered all his people together and went out against Israel 
into the wilderness, and he came to Jahaz and fought against Israel. 
24 (Am 2:9; Ge 32:22) Israel defeated him with the edge of the sword 
and possessed his land from Arnon to Jabbok, 
all the way to the children of Ammon, because the border of the children 
of Ammon was strong. 
25 Israel took all these cities, and Israel lived in 
all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its villages. 
26 Because Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, 
who had fought against the former king of Moab 
and taken all his land out of his hand, to Arnon.
27 Therefore they that speak in proverbs say:
"Come into Heshbon; let it be built,
and let the city of Sihon be established,
28 (Nu 21:15; Jer 48:45-46) because a fire went out of Heshbon,
a flame from the city of Sihon;
it has devoured Ar of Moab
and the masters of the high places of Arnon.
29 (Jdg 11:24; 2Ki 23:13) Woe to you, Moab!
You have perished, O people of Chemosh!
He has made his sons fugitives,
and his daughters captives,
to Sihon king of the Amorites.
30 (Isa 15:2; Jer 48:18) "We have overthrown them;
Heshbon is perished to Dibon,
and we have desolated them to Nophah,
which reaches to Medeba."
31 Thus Israel lived in the land of the Amorites.

[21] And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
[22] Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn into the fields, or into
the vineyards; we will not drink of the waters of the well: but we will go
along by the king's high way, until we be past thy borders.
[23] And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon
gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the
wilderness: and he came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
[24] And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land
from Arnon unto Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon: for the border of
the children of Ammon was strong.
[25] And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the cities of
the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the villages thereof.
[26] For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had
fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his
hand, even unto Arnon.
[27] Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the
city of Sihon be built and prepared:
[28] For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of
Sihon: it hath consumed Ar of Moab, and the lords of the high places of
Arnon.
[29] Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of Chemosh: he hath given
his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity unto Sihon king of
the Amorites.
[30] We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and we have
laid them waste even unto Nophah, which reacheth unto Medeba.
[31] Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.

King Og Defeated

32 (Nu 32:1; Jer 48:32) Moses sent to spy out Jazer, 
and they took its villages and drove out the Amorites who were there. 
33 (Jos 13:12; Dt 1:4) They turned and went up by the way of Bashan, 
and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, 
he and all his people, to the battle at Edrei.
34 The Lord said to Moses, "Do not fear him because
 into your hand I have given him, and all his people, 
and his land, and you will do to him as you did to Sihon 
king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon."
35 So they killed him, and his sons, and all his people, 
until there was not a survivor left to him alive, 
and they possessed his land.

Numbers 21

[32] And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took the villages thereof,
and drove out the Amorites that were there.
[33] And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the king of
Bashan went out against them, he, and all his people, to the battle at
Edrei.
[34] And the LORD said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him
into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as
thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.
[35] So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was
none left him alive: and they possessed his land.

(The Lord will give you Victory in every battle)

</a> by Marvin Williams

Daniel 6:25-28

25 (Da 4:1; Ezr 1:1-2; 4:17) Then King Darius wrote:
To all peoples, nations, and languages that dwell in all the earth:
"Peace be multiplied unto you.
26 (Da 4:34; 2:44; 3:29) "I make a decree that in every dominion of my kingdom
men are to fear and tremble before the God of Daniel.
"For He is the living God,
enduring forever;
His kingdom shall never be destroyed,
and His dominion shall be forever.
27 (Da 4:2-3) He delivers and rescues,
and He works signs and wonders
in heaven and on earth,
who has delivered Daniel
from the power of the lions."
28 (Da 1:21; Isa 44:28-45:1) So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius
and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian. 

[25] Then king Darius wrote unto all people, nations, and languages, that
dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you.
[26] I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and
fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and stedfast for
ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion
shall be even unto the end.
[27] He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven
and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.
[28] So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of
Cyrus the Persian. 

When the Transit Agency of Central Kentucky (TACK) renovated its headquarters,
it wanted to make sure people noticed. Instead of a subtle sign or 
announcement, it installed a massive, nearly 22' tall thumbtack at its 
entrance. The thumbtack, a world record, is an undeniable marker that no 
passersby can miss.

In Daniel 6, God used something undeniable to get people's attention: 
He miraculously rescued Daniel after he'd been placed in a lion's den for 
choosing to defy King Darius' decree by continuing to pray to God (vv. 10-23).
The prophet survived because he'd "trusted in . . . God" (v. 23). Darius then 
declared that - unlike the dead idols of the Medes and Persians - Daniel's God
was "the living God [who] endures forever" (v. 26). He alone "rescues 
and . . . saves [and] performs signs and wonders in the heavens and on the 
earth" (v. 27). It's remarkable that even a pagan king acknowledged God's 
power and sovereignty. Like a giant, divine "thumbtack," God's act of power 
couldn't be overlooked.

Sometimes God gets our attention as He does something significant 
and undeniable (v. 27) - supernatural rescues, right-on-time provisions, 
and heart transformations. Other times, He works quietly as we watch and wait.
Let's stand in awe of what He's doing in and around us today - trusting in 
Him and His great power (v. 23).

Reflect & Pray

How has God captured your attention? 
How can you share with others what He's shown you?

Sovereign God of heaven and earth, I stand in awe of Your inspiring power.

Week 1 Knowing God's Word Day 3 - Let the Word Dwell in You

Col 3:16

16 (Eph 5:19; Col 1:28; Ro 10:17) Let the word of Christ dwell
in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing
one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,
singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

16 Let the word of Christ dwell
in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing
one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,
singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

Every day, whether we are aware of it or not, our minds are
bombarded by 20th Century values: "Dress for success!" "Get ahead!"
"You deserve a break today ...." Television, radio, and the incessant
voices that surround us distract our attention and keep us from
focusing on what is really important in our lives.
Paul's instruction to the Colossian Church brings us back to God's
value system: "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly."
When we give attention to the Word of God, we put ourselves in a position
to hear a higher truth the clamour of immediate demands
and the expectations of the world around us. We can experience peace
in the midst of struggle and rest in a restless environment.
God's Word is a powerful force for good in our lives - not merely
an attractive philosophy, but true power to overcome the pressures
of daily life.
Dwelling on the Word of God, and letting it indwell us, takes many forms.
Scripture memory, music, meditation, talking with others about the
goodness of God all help us keep our attention focused on Christ rather
than on the values of the world around us.
We can choose to listen to Christian radio or tapes. We can take time
daily for quiet meditation on his Word. We can commit the Word to memory
and draw on its power during the day. And as we listen to the voice
of the Spirit rather than the noise around us, we can enter into
his peace and live in communion with him.

Application

a) What pressures do I face that tend to distract me from the reality
of Christ's presence?

b) How can I "let the word of Christ dwell richly" in me, so that I
an regain my focus on him?

c) What practical changes can I make in my life to help me focus
my attention on Jesus and his word? 

4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland

Ps 35:27

27 May those who favour my righteous cause shout for joy and be glad;
may they say continually, "The Lord be magnified,
who delights in the peace of His servant."

27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause:
Yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified,
which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:

God's Generous Provision

Matthew 6:24-34

God and Money

24 (Lk 16:13; 16:11; 16:9) "No one can serve two masters.
For either he will hate the one and love the other,
or else he will hold to the one and despise the other.
You cannot serve God and money."

Care and Anxiety

Lk 12:22-34

25 (Mt 6:31; 6:34; Php 4:6) "Therefore, I say to you,
take no thought about your life, what you will eat,
or what you will drink, nor about your body,
what you will put on. Is not life more than
and the body than clothing?
26 (Job 38:41; Ps 147:9) Look at the birds of the air,
for they do not sow, nor do they reap, nor gather into barns.
Yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much better than they?
27 Who among you by taking thought can add a cubit
(A cubit is about half a meter.) to his stature?
28 (Mt 6:25; 6:31) "Why take thought about clothing?
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow:
They neither work, nor do they spin.
29 (1Ki 10:4-7; 2Ch 9:4-6) Yet I say to you that even Solomon
in all his glory was not dressed like one of these.
30 (Mt 8:26; 14:31) Therefore, if God so clothes the grass of the field,
which today is here and tomorrow is thrown into the oven,
will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 (1Pe 5:7) Therefore, take no thought, saying, 'What shall we eat?'
or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'
32 (Mt 6:8; Lk 12:30) (For the Gentiles seek after all these things.)
For your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things.
33 (1Ti 4:8; 1Ki 3:11-13) But seek first the kingdom of God
and His righteousness, and all these things shall be given to you.
34 (Mt 6:25) Therefore, take no thought about tomorrow,
for tomorrow will take thought about the things of itself.
Sufficient to the day is the trouble thereof.

True Wisdom

24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one,
and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other.
Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat,
or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not
the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor
gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much
better than they?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field,
how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 and yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed
like one of these.
30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is,
and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you,
O ye of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat?
or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek
for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God,
and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow:
for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.
Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Remember God's promises when You pray

The Lord's prayer 

Matthew 6:9-13

9 "Therefore pray in this manner:
Our Father who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;
Your will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.
12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."

9 After this manner therefore pray ye: 
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 
11 Give us this day our daily bread. 
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: 
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)

Saskatchewan

Quick facts on Muslims in Saskatchewan

Saskatchewan 2015 population  1125400

est Muslim Population       17279

CNMM Networks: Saskatoon

Saskatoon has seen quick growth in its Muslim population over the past
5 years, which maybe as high as 5000 today. Islamic leaders have 
focused specifically on this city , having twice already sent cohorts
of about 70 families to start mosques. There are now 7 Islamic centres
of worship and an ISlamic madrassah (school) located right next to a 
Christian school.
Of particular concern recently is the number of young adults who grew up
in evangelical churches and converted to Islam. Most of these are young
women whowere wooed by Muslim man and became emotionally bonded. 
Both prior to and after marrying, these women are known to convert to ISlam.

Agree in prayer with us for:
- entire congregations and individual believers to catch God's heart
and passion for reaching Muslims in Saskatoon and the other growing
Muslim population centres of Saskatchewan.
- for the eyes and understanding of Canadian youth to be opened to the 
  spiritual reality of Islam, and not deceived nor manipulated into
  converting to a religion which cannot offer assurance of salvation. 
- for the few workers among Muslims now engaged there, and for many more
  to be raised up into effective witness.
- for prayer and training events that are starting in Saskatoon 
  to spread and grow to other cities.

<A href="https://www.pray30days.org/2026/pray-for-the-gilaks-of-iran">
Pray for the Gilaks of Iran</a>

The Gilaks are a people group numbering nearly 5 million whose homeland is 
Gilan on the southern and southwestern coast of the Caspian Sea. Whilst 
considering themselves Iranian and generally speaking Iran's national 
language, Farsi, they also have their own language, Gilaki, and their own 
culture.

Varesh is Gilak. A talented musician, he was homeless, living under a bridge, 
and addicted to drugs when he encountered the love of Jesus. Miraculously 
freed from his addiction, he started using his musical skills to praise God. 
However, due to a serious speech impediment, he couldn't sing.

During the 1980s Iran-Iraq war, Varesh noticed how a famous singer used songs 
to urge young men to go to the frontline. So, he prayed that God would raise 
up singers who would instead guide people into His loving arms. Not long 
after, his pastor told him that he would be one of those singers! As he 
prayed, received prayer and started singing, slowly his mouth and tongue 
began to change and God healed him! 

Varesh started composing poetry and worship songs in Farsi and Gilaki. He also
started pastoring others. Sadly, because of this activity he was arrested and 
imprisoned, and upon release he and his family had to leave Iran and seek 
asylum elsewhere.

/30-days-of-prayer-2026-is-coming-soon">See also  30 Days of Prayer 2026 is 
coming soon!</a>

Although living outside of ran, they have continued to serve the Lord. With 
the encouragement and support of other believers, Varesh is publishing his 
Gilaki worship songs for the first time and leading worship in the first ever 
online Gilaki church! One of his songs about forgiveness, published as a 
moving video filmed by his daughter, is helping other Gilaks to forgive 
those who have hurt them.

How to Pray

    Ask God that through Varesh’s worship songs, 
	many Gilaks would come to faith in Jesus.
	
    Pray that believers would hear the Lord speaking 
	through the songs and obey what He says.
	
    Intercede for a safe long-term country of asylum for Varesh 
	and his family and for peace as they wait.

My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further
call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity
(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .

you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give
you an heart of flesh.
[27] And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my
statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

Picture your arms full of garbage, it's heavy and you canlt take another load,
but yet you're carrying it around. Now let’s say you have a friend who wants 
to give you a gift, it’s this nicely wrapped up and it's big, but yet you 
can't because your arms are full. So in order to receive the gift you'd have 
to put down all that garbage so you can hold the gift. God is that friend 
and he has a gift he wants us to receive. A new heart of flesh 
and a new spirit, a new identity and direction. 

So what does it mean to have a heart of flesh? A heart of flesh is an awakened
spirit, its alive, obedient, tender love, devoted, living internally. While a 
heart of stone is spiritually numb, stubborn/disobedient, loves less, expects 
more, dying internally. And God is willingly wanting to change our hearts, all
we have to do is receive it with open arms. There's nothing we could ever do 
to earn God's love, his love isn't earned it's given. And always will be no 
matter what we've done or who we are. There is hope and new life to all who 
will receive it. 

How do you receive it? Surrender your life, your earthly desires, admit the 
need for change and repent/turn away from your old life. Your old identity, 
putting down the garbage that you're holding on to and allowing God to 
reshape your new identity and heart of stone.

Ezekiel 37 is the valley of dry bones. Ezekiel is shown a vision of these dead
rotten bones in the dust, becoming dust. But yet God tells Ezekiel these bones
shall live again. It's the same with our hearts, no matter how far we seem 
from God, or whatever we've done, or whatever your heart is carrying. There is
nothing that can separate you, or anything that is greater than the love God 
has for you. So it’s never too late to surrender and receive the new life 
and hope God promises. 

It's an internal to external change through Christ, because the outer 
purification will be of no use without the inner desire to live rightly before
God. Deep calls to deep, as you pour yourself out to God, God fills you with 
his love and spirit. This new heart of flesh enables us to walk in obedience 
following God's will. And to be able to enter into a renewed covenant with 
God, a new mindset, desire, identity, and direction.

---

Personal Reflection Questions: 

- What is something like the garbage that you are carrying that you need to 
lay down and surrender before God in order to receive the new change He has 
for you? 

Prayer Points: 

- Prayer for all ministries in the church for God's continued guidance, 
  that he'd lead us to what he is calling us to. 

- Prayer for the community for a heart to change and continued desire 
  to long for God and His will for our life.
