NUMBERS 14

Israel Refuses to Enter Canaan

1 And the whole assembly lifted up their voices and cried, 
and the people wept that night. 
2 (Ex 15:24; 17:3) All the children of Israel grumbled against Moses 
and against Aaron, and the whole assembly said to them, 
"O that we had died in the land of Egypt! Or that we had died 
in this wilderness! 
3 And why has the Lord brought us to this land to fall by the sword, 
that our wives and our children should become prey? 
Is it not better for us to return to Egypt?" 
4 (Dt 17:16; Ac 7:39) And they said one to another, 
"Let us select a leader, and let us return to Egypt."
5 (Nu 16:4; 16:22) Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces 
before all the congregation of the assembly of the children of Israel. 
6 (Nu 13:6; 13:8) Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, 
from the ones who explored the land, tore their clothes. 
7 (Nu 13:27; Dt 1:25) And they spoke to all the assembly 
of the children of Israel, saying, "The land which we passed through 
to explore it is a very, very good land. 
8 (Dt 10:15; Nu 13:27) If the Lord delights in us, then He will bring us 
into this land and give it to us, a land which flows with milk and honey. 
9 (Dt 7:18; 9:23-24) Only do not rebel against the Lord, nor fear the people 
of the land because they are bread for us. Their defense is gone from them, 
and the Lord is with us. Do not fear them."
10 (Ex 17:4; Lev 9:23) But all the assembly said, "Stone them with stones." 
And the glory of the Lord appeared at the tent of meeting 
before all the children of Israel. 
11 (Ps 106:24; 78:22) The Lord said to Moses, "How long will this people 
disgrace Me? And how long will they not believe Me, in spite of all the signs 
which I have done among them? 
12 (Ex 32:10) I will strike them 
with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make from you 
a nation greater and mightier than they."

Moses Intercedes for the People

13 (Ps 106:23; Dt 32:27) Moses said to the Lord, "Then the Egyptians will 
hear of it, for by Your power You brought this people up from among them, 
14 (Ex 15:14; Ge 32:30) and they will say to the inhabitants of this land 
that they heard that You, Lord, are among this people, that You, Lord, 
are seen face to face, and Your cloud stands over them, 
and in the pillar of cloud You go before them by day 
and by a pillar of fire at night. 
15 Now if You kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have 
heard the fame of You will speak, saying, 
16 (Dt 9:28; Jos 7:9) 'The Lord was not able to bring this people 
into the land which He swore to them, 
so He slaughtered them in the wilderness.'
17 "So now, I pray, let the power of my Lord be great, 
just as You have spoken, saying, 
18 (Ex 20:5; 34:6-7; Ps 145:8) 'The Lord is slow to anger 
and abounding in mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression; 
but He will by no means clear the guilty, 
visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third 
and fourth generation.' 
19 (Ex 34:9; Ps 78:38) Pardon the iniquity of this people, I pray, 
according to the greatness of Your grace, just as You have pardoned 
this people, from Egypt even until now."
20 The Lord said, "I have forgiven according to your word. 
21 (Hab 2:14; Dt 32:40) But truly as I live, all the earth will be 
filled with the glory of the Lord. 
22 (Ge 31:7; Ex 17:2) Because all those men seeing My glory 
and My signs which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, 
and have tempted Me now these ten times, and have not listened to My voice, 
23 (Nu 32:11; 26:64) surely they will not see the land which I swore 
to their fathers, nor will any of them who disgraced Me see it. 
24 (Nu 14:6-9; 26:65) But My servant Caleb, because he had a different 
spirit with him and followed Me fully, I will bring him into the land 
where he went, and his seed will possess it. 
25 (Nu 13:29; Dt 1:40) Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites 
lived in the valley. Tomorrow you will turn, and you will 
set out for the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea."

Death of Rebels Predicted

26 The Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying: 
27 (Ex 16:12) How long will this evil assembly be murmuring against Me? 
I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel which they murmur 
against Me. 
28 (Nu 14:21; 14:23) Say to them, "As I live," says the Lord, 
"just as you have spoken in My ears, so I will do to you. 
29 (Nu 1:45; Heb 3:17) In this wilderness your corpses will fall, 
and all who were numbered of you, according to your whole number, 
from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against Me, 
30 (Ge 14:22; Nu 14:38) you will not go into the land 
which I swore by My hand to cause you to dwell in it, 
except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun. 
31 (Ps 106:24; Dt 1:39) But your children, whom you said would be a prey, 
I will bring them in and they will know the land, which you rejected. 
32 (1Co 10:5; Nu 14:29) But as for you, 
your corpses will fall in this wilderness. 
33 (Nu 32:13; Dt 2:14) Your children will be shepherds in the wilderness 
forty years, and they will suffer for your fornications, until 
your corpses are in the wilderness. 
34 (Nu 13:25; Eze 4:6) According to the number of the days in which 
you spied out the land, forty days, a year for each day you will 
bear your iniquity, forty years, and you will know My displeasure." 
35 (Nu 23:19) I the Lord have spoken. I will surely do this to all 
this evil assembly gathered against Me. In this wilderness they will 
be finished, and there they will die.
36 The men whom Moses sent to explore the land, who returned 
and made all the assembly murmur against him by bringing up 
an evil report about the land, 
37 (1Co 10:10; Nu 16:49) the men who brought an evil report 
about the land, died by the pestilence before the Lord. 
38 (Nu 26:65) But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, 
from the men that went to explore the land, lived.

Defeat in Battle

39 (Ex 33:4) Moses spoke these words to all the children of Israel, 
and the people mourned greatly. 
40 (Dt 1:41) They rose up early in the morning, and they went up to the top 
of the mountain, saying, "Here we are. We will go up to the place which the 
Lord has promised, for we have sinned."
41 (2Ch 24:20) Moses said, "Why do you now transgress the commandment 
of the Lord? This will not prosper. 
42 (Dt 1:42) Do not go up, for the Lord is not among you; do not let 
yourselves be defeated by your enemies. 
43 (Nu 13:29; 14:25) For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there 
before you, and you will fall by the sword because you are turned 
from the Lord, and the Lord will not be with you."
44 (Dt 1:43) But they presumed to go up to the top of the mountain. 
But the ark of the covenant of the Lord and Moses did not depart 
from the midst of the camp. 
45 (Nu 21:3; Dt 1:44) Then the Amalekites and the Canaanites 
who dwelt on that mountain went down and defeated them, 
pursuing them as far as Hormah.

Numbers 14
[1] And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the
people wept that night.
[2] And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron:
and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the
land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!
[3] And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land, to fall by the
sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better
for us to return into Egypt?
[4] And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return
into Egypt.
[5] Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the
congregation of the children of Israel.
[6] And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of
them that searched the land, rent their clothes:
[7] And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying,
The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.
[8] If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and
give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.
[9] Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the
land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and
the LORD is with us: fear them not.
[10] But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of
the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the
children of Israel.
[11] And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and
how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have
shewed among them?
[12] I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will
make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.
[13] And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for
thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;)
[14] And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have
heard that thou LORD art among this people, that thou LORD art seen face to
face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before
them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.
[15] Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the nations
which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,
[16] Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which
he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness.
[17] And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according
as thou hast spoken, saying,
[18] The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and
transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of
the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.
[19] Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the
greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt
even until now.
[20] And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word:
[21] But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of
the LORD.
[22] Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which
I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten
times, and have not hearkened to my voice;
[23] Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers,
neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:
[24] But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath
followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his
seed shall possess it.
[25] (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) To morrow
turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
[26] And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
[27] How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against
me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur
against me.
[28] Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in
mine ears, so will I do to you:
[29] Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered
of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward,
which have murmured against me,
[30] Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to
make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son
of Nun.
[31] But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring
in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.
[32] But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness.
[33] And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear
your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.
[34] After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty
days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years,
and ye shall know my breach of promise.
[35] I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil
congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they
shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
[36] And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and
made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander
upon the land,
[37] Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by
the plague before the LORD.
[38] But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were
of the men that went to search the land, lived still.
[39] And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and the
people mourned greatly.
[40] And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top of
the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place which
the LORD hath promised: for we have sinned.
[41] And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the
LORD? but it shall not prosper.
[42] Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not smitten before
your enemies.
[43] For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye
shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the LORD, therefore
the LORD will not be with you.
[44] But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark of
the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.
[45] Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that
hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even unto Hormah.

NUMBERS 15

Laws of Grain and Drink Offerings
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 
2 (Lev 23:10; Nu 15:18) Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: 
When you come into the land of your dwelling, which I am giving to you, 
3 (Ex 29:18; Ge 8:21; Nu 28:27) when you make an offering by fire 
to the Lord, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice in performing a vow, 
or as a freewill offering, or in your appointed feasts, 
to make a pleasing aroma to the Lord, of the herd or of the flock, 
4 (Ex 29:40; Lev 23:13) then he who brings his offering to the Lord 
will bring a grain offering of a tenth of an ephah 
(About 1,500 feet, or 450 meters.) 
of flour mixed with the fourth part of a hin
(About 1 quart, or 1 liter; and in v. 5.) of oil. 
5 (Nu 28:7; 28:14) One-fourth of a hin of wine as a drink offering 
you will prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for each lamb.
6 Or for a ram, you will make a grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah
(Likely about 7 pounds, or 3.2 kilograms.) of flour mixed 
with one-third of a hin (About 1 1/3 quarts, or 1.3 liters; and in v. 7.) 
of oil. 7 As a drink offering you will offer one-third of a hin of wine, 
as a pleasing aroma to the Lord.
8 (Lev 3:1) When you prepare a bull as a burnt offering, or as a sacrifice 
in performing a vow, or as a peace offering to the Lord, 
9 (Lev 6:14; 14:10) then shall be brought with the bull 
a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah 
(Likely about 11 pounds, or 5 kilograms.) 
of flour mixed with one-half a hin 
(About 2 quarts, or 1.9 liters; and in v. 10.) 
of oil. 
10 You will bring as a drink offering one-half a hin of wine, 
as a fire offering, as a pleasing aroma to the Lord. 
11 (Thus it will be done for one herd animal, or for one ram, 
or for a flock animal, whether from the sheep or from the goats. 
12 According to the number that you will make, 
so you will do for every one according to their number.
13 Every native Israelite will do these things in this manner, 
in offering a fire offering as a pleasing aroma to the Lord. 
14 (A foreigner who lives with you, or who resides among you 
throughout your generations, and would present a fire offering, 
a pleasing aroma to the Lord, shall do as you do. 
15 (Nu 9:14; 15:29) One ordinance will be for you of the assembly 
and for the foreigner who lives with you, an ordinance forever 
throughout your generations. As you are, so will the foreigner 
be before the Lord. 
16 One law and one justice will be for you 
and for the foreigner who lives with you.
17 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 
18 (Nu 15:2) Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: 
When you come into the land where I bring you, 
19 (Jos 5:11-12) then it will be, when you eat of the bread of the land 
you will offer up an offering to the Lord. 
20 (Lev 2:14; Ex 23:19) From the first of your dough you will offer 
a cake as an offering. As you make the offering of the threshing floor, 
so will you offer it. 
21 Of the first of your dough you will give to the Lord an offering 
throughout your generations.

Laws About Unintentional Sins

22 (Lev 4:2) If you have erred and not observed all these commandments 
which the Lord has spoken to Moses, 
23 even all that the Lord has commanded you by the hand of Moses, 
from the day that the Lord commanded Moses 
and onward through your generations, 
24 (Lev 4:23; Nu 28:15) then it will be, if it is committed by ignorance 
without the knowledge of the assembly, that all the assembly will offer 
one young bull as a burnt offering, as a pleasing aroma to the Lord, 
with its grain offering and its drink offering, according to the rule, 
and one kid of the goats as a sin offering. 
25 (Lev 4:20; Ro 3:25) The priest will make atonement for all the assembly 
of the children of Israel, and it will be forgiven them 
because it is ignorance, and they will bring their offering, 
a sacrifice made by fire to the Lord, and their sin offering before the Lord, 
for their ignorance. 
26 And it will be forgiven all the assembly of the children of Israel 
and the foreigner who lives among them, 
because all the people were in ignorance.
27 (Lev 4:27-28) If a person sins unintentionally, then he will bring 
a year-old female goat as a sin offering. 
28 (Lev 4:35) The priest will make an atonement for the person who sins 
unintentionally, when he sins by ignorance before the Lord, to make 
an atonement for him; and it will be forgiven him. 
29 (Nu 15:15) You shall have one law for the person who acts through 
ignorance, for the natural-born citizen among the children of Israel
 and foreigner who lives in your midst.

Laws About Intentional Sins

30 (Dt 1:43; Ps 19:13) But the person who acts by a high hand, 
the natural-born citizen or the foreigner, the same reviles the Lord, 
and that person will be cut off from among his people. 
31 (2Sa 12:9; Pr 13:13) Because he has despised the word of the Lord 
and has broken His commandment, that person will be totally cut off. 
His iniquity will be on him.

The Sabbath-Breaker Executed

32 (Ex 35:2-3) While the children of Israel were in the wilderness, 
they found a man who gathered sticks on the Sabbath day. 
33 The ones who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses 
and Aaron and to all the assembly. 
34 (Lev 24:12) They put him in confinement because it was not declared 
what should be done to him. 
35 (Ex 31:14-15; Ac 7:58) The Lord said to Moses, "The man will surely die. 
All the assembly will stone him with stones outside the camp." 
36 All the assembly brought him outside the camp and stoned him with stones, 
and he died as the Lord commanded Moses.

Tassels on Garments

37 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 
38 (Dt 22:12; Mt 23:5) Speak to the children of Israel, 
and tell them to make for themselves tassels on the corners of their garments 
throughout the generations to come, and they will put a ribbon of blue on the 
corners of their garments. 
39 (Ps 73:27; Eze 6:9) And it will be for you a tassel, and you will see it, 
and you will remember all the commandments of the Lord, and you will do them, 
and you will not follow the lust of your own heart and your own eyes.
40 (Lev 11:44-45; Ro 12:1) So shall you remember and do all My commandments, 
and be holy to your God. 
41 (Lev 22:33) I am the Lord your God who brought you 
out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the Lord your God.

Numbers 15
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[2] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come
into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you,
[3] And will make an offering by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, or a
sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a freewill offering, or in your solemn
feasts, to make a sweet savour unto the LORD, of the herd, or of the flock:
[4] Then shall he that offereth his offering unto the LORD bring a meat
offering of a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of
oil.
[5] And the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering shalt thou
prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for one lamb.
[6] Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meat offering two tenth deals of
flour mingled with the third part of an hin of oil.
[7] And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third part of an hin of
wine, for a sweet savour unto the LORD.
[8] And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt offering, or for a
sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace offerings unto the LORD:
[9] Then shall he bring with a bullock a meat offering of three tenth deals
of flour mingled with half an hin of oil.
[10] And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half an hin of wine, for an
offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
[11] Thus shall it be done for one bullock, or for one ram, or for a lamb,
or a kid.
[12] According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every
one according to their number.
[13] All that are born of the country shall do these things after this
manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the
LORD.
[14] And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever be among you in your
generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto
the LORD; as ye do, so he shall do.
[15] One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for
the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever in your
generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD.
[16] One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that
sojourneth with you.
[17] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[18] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into
the land whither I bring you,
[19] Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall
offer up an heave offering unto the LORD.
[20] Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough for an heave
offering: as ye do the heave offering of the threshingfloor, so shall ye
heave it.
[21] Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto the LORD an heave
offering in your generations.
[22] And if ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments, which
the LORD hath spoken unto Moses,
[23] Even all that the LORD hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from
the day that the LORD commanded Moses, and henceforward among your
generations;
[24] Then it shall be, if ought be committed by ignorance without the
knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one
young bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour unto the LORD, with
his meat offering, and his drink offering, according to the manner, and one
kid of the goats for a sin offering.
[25] And the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the
children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it is ignorance: and
they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD, and
their sin offering before the LORD, for their ignorance:
[26] And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of
Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; seeing all the people
were in ignorance.
[27] And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat
of the first year for a sin offering.
[28] And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth
ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the LORD, to make an
atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him.
[29] Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through ignorance, both for
him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that
sojourneth among them.
[30] But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be born in the
land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD; and that soul shall be
cut off from among his people.
[31] Because he hath despised the word of the LORD, and hath broken his
commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon
him.
[32] And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a
man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.
[33] And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and
Aaron, and unto all the congregation.
[34] And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be
done to him.
[35] And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all
the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp.
[36] And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him
with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses.
[37] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[38] Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them
fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and
that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue:
[39] And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and
remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that ye seek not
after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:
[40] That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your
God.
[41] I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, to
be your God: I am the LORD your God. 

Psalm 90

1 Lord, You have been our dwelling place
in all generations.
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Before the mountains were brought forth,
or You had formed the earth and the world,
even from everlasting to everlasting You are God.
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) You return man to the dust
and say, "Return, you children of men."
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) For a thousand years in Your sight
are but as yesterday when it is past,
or as a night watch in the night time.
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) You carry them away as with a flood;
they are as a dream, like renewed grass in the morning:
6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) In the morning it flourishes and grows up;
in the evening it fades and withers.
7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) For we are consumed by Your anger,
and by Your wrath we are terrified.
8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) You have set our iniquities before You,
even our secret sins in the light of Your presence.
9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) For all our days pass away in your wrath;
we end our years with a groan.
10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) The years of our life are seventy,
and if by reason of strength eighty;
yet their length is toil and sorrow,
for they soon end, and we fly away.
11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) Who knows the power of Your anger?
Or Your wrath according to Your fear?
12 So teach us to number our days,
that we may apply our hearts to wisdom.
13 Return, O Lord, how long?
Have mercy on Your servants.
14 Satisfy us in the early morning with Your mercy,
that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
15 Make us glad according to the days that You have afflicted us,
and the years that we have seen evil.
16 Let Your work be displayed to Your servants
and Your glory to their children.
17 Let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us,
and establish the work of our hands among us;
yes, establish the work of our hands. 

Psalm 90
[1] LORD, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
[2] Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the
earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
[3] Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.
[4] For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past,
and as a watch in the night.
[5] Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the
morning they are like grass which groweth up.
[6] In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut
down, and withereth.
[7] For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
[8] Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light
of thy countenance.
[9] For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a
tale that is told.
[10] The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of
strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow;
for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
[11] Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is
thy wrath.
[12] So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto
wisdom.
[13] Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy
servants.
[14] O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all
our days.
[15] Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and
the years wherein we have seen evil.
[16] Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their
children.
[17] And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou
the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.

Understanding the Bible </a>

2 Timothy 3:14-16

Last Charge to Timothy

14 (2Ti 1:13) But continue in the things that you have learned
and have been assured of, knowing those from whom you have learned them,
15 (2Ti 1:5) and that since childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures,
which are able to make you wise unto salvation through the faith that is
in Christ Jesus.
16 (Ro 15:4) All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching,
for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness,

[14] But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been
assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
[15] And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are
able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ
Jesus.
[16] All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

How important is the Bible? It's so vital that people in many countries 
risk their lives to translate it into their native languages. Often, 
these are ordinary believers in Jesus who face arrest for translating 
the words of Scripture into a heart language others can understand.

One female translator from a country hostile to believers in Jesus said, 
"I must complete this work. I want to see my beloved ones experience 
salvation in Christ." And a man who organizes regular citizens
 to clandestinely translate Scripture explains that the Bible is essential 
 to growing mature believers in local churches: 
"You can start a church, but . . . [without] the Bible in its heart language,
it will typically only last one generation."

Why are they doing this? Because there's no other book like the Bible. 
Its preservation through the centuries is unique. Its authenticity 
and its representation of the human heart is accurate. "
12 (Eph 6:17; Isa 49:2; Jer 23:29) For the word of God is alive, and active,
and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul
and spirit, of joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intents
of the heart." (Hebrews 4:12). 
And "All scripture is given by inspiration of God," (2 Timothy 3:16), 
inspired by Him. And most important, it reveals the source and reality 
of "salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus" (v. 15).

Let's read, cherish, and live by the Scriptures. And as God provides, 
let's help those around the world receive it and understand it.

Reflect & Pray

What's your favorite aspect of the Bible? 
How can you help others understand it better?

Dear God, thank You for the Scriptures 
and for the privilege of sharing them with others.

3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation

Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools

Week 4 - The Blessings of Grace Day 7 God's Bulldozer - Luke 3:5-6

5 (Isa 40:4; 42:16) Every valley shall be filled
and every mountain and hill shall be brought low;
and the crooked shall be made straight
and the rough ways shall be made smooth;
6 (Isa 40:5; 52:10) and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

5 Every valley shall be filled,
And every mountain and hill shall be brought low;
And the crooked shall be made straight,
And the rough ways shall be made smooth;
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

When a new highway is being constructed, the roads crew work hard
in preparing for the new surface to be laid. Giant bulldozers cut through
the hillsides, moving earth, leveling, filling, evening the path out where
the roadway will run. When the work is first begun, if often looks like chaos:
and even after the highway begins to take shape, the land is still ugly,
scarred by the unsightly gashes cut through the landscape. Yet after
the work is completed and the grass and trees are replanted, we forget
the temporary upheaval and see only the
beauty of the land and the convenience of the new roadway.
In Luke 3:5-6, John the Baptist presents a prophecy of the coming of Christ,
a prophecy quoted from Isaiah 40:3-5 . The prophecy speaks of the preparation
of the world for the coming Messiah, but is also applies to the preparation
of the individual heart to receive him.
Sometimes, the Holy Spirit must do major work in our hearts to prepare us for
the coming of Christ into our live. Like a bulldozer, he brings down the
mountains of pride in our lives. He fill the empty places , corrects
the crooked, grades down the rough edges of our hearts.
Often this is not pleasant work. We prefer to maintain the rugged landscape
of Self, and we do not like the ugly scars that are left after the bulldozer
has done its job.
But if we submit to the Spirit's "Construction work" in us, the way will be
paved for the Lord to enter into our lives, and others will see in us,
the way be paved for the Lord to enter into our lives, and other will see
in us the glory and salvation of our God.

Application

a) What "construction work" has to Holy Spirit done in me?

b) What restoration has taken place because of that work?

c) How do today's verses help me put in perspective the work
God still want to do in me?  

4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland

2 Cor 9:8,11

8 God is able to make all grace abound toward you,
so that you, always having enough of everything,
may abound to every good work.
11 So you will be enriched in everything to all bountifulness,
which makes us give thanks to God.

8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having
all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
11 being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through
us thanksgiving to God.

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

When you are Facing Pain and Suffering

Ps 9:9-12

9 The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed,
a refuge in times of trouble.
10 Those who know Your name will put their trust in You,
for You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.
11 Sing praises to the Lord who dwells in Zion;
declare His deeds among the people.
12 He who avenges deaths remembers them;
He does not forget the cry of the humble.

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.

Adding further

30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020 

Under the Keep Praying page

When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid  celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that 
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.

For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.

You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"

Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you 
know, and Muslims around the world:

- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 :  17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,
"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; 
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, 
your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Even on My menservants and maidservants 
I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy. 
19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below: 
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke.  20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]

Footnotes
	Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15  : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under 
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the 
house."

Ideas for prayer

- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people - 
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims 
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days! 

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, ...) .
