8. The LORD gave these further instructions to Aaron: "I myself have put you in charge of all the holy offerings that are brought to me by the people of Israel. I have given all these consecrated offerings to you and your sons as your permanent share. 9. You are allotted the portion of the most holy offerings that is not burned on the fire. This portion of all the most holy offerings — including the grain offerings — will be most holy, and it belongs to you and your sons. 10. You must eat it as a most holy offering. All the males may eat of it, and you must treat it as most holy. 11. "All the sacred offerings and special offerings presented to me when the Israelites lift them up before the altar also belong to you. I have given them to you and to your sons and daughters as your permanent share. Any member of your family who is ceremonially clean may eat of these offerings. 12. "I also give you the harvest gifts brought by the people as offerings to the LORD — the best of the olive oil, new wine, and grain. 13. All the first crops of their land that the people present to the LORD belong to you. Any member of your family who is ceremonially clean may eat this food. 14. "Everything in Israel that is specially set apart for the LORD also belongs to you. 15. "The firstborn of every mother, whether human or animal, that is offered to the LORD will be yours. But you must always redeem your firstborn sons and the firstborn of cermonially unclean animals. 16. Redeem them when they are one month old. The redemption price is five pieces of silver (as measured by the weight of the sanctuary shekel, which equals twenty gerahs). 17. "However, you may not redeem the firstborn of cattle, sheep, or goats. They are holy and have been set apart for the LORD. Sprinkle their blood on the altar, and burn their fat as a special gift, a pleasing aroma to the LORD. 18. The meat of these animals will be yours, just like the breast and right thigh that are presented by lifting them up as a special offering before the altar. 19. Yes, I am giving you all these holy offerings that the people of Israel bring to the LORD. They are for you and your sons and daughters, to be eaten as your permanent share. This is an eternal and unbreakable covenant between the LORD and you, and it also applies to your descendants. 20. And the LORD said to Aaron, "You priests will receive no allotment of land or share of property among the people of Israel. I am your share and your allotment. 21. As for the tribe of Levi, your relatives, I will compensate them for their service in the Tabernacle. Instead of an allotment of land, I will give them the tithes from the entire land of Israel. 22. "From now on, no Israelites except priests or Levites may approach the Tabernacle. If they come too near, they will be judged guilty and will die. 23. Only the Levites may serve at the Tabernacle, and they will be held responsible for any offenses against it. This is a permanent law for you, to be observed from generation to generation. The Levites will receive no allotment of land among the Israelites 24. because I have given them the Israelites' tithes, which have been presented as sacred offerings to the LORD. This will be the Levites' share. That is why I said they would receive no allotment of land among the Israelites." 25. The LORD also to Moses, 26. "Give these instructions to the Levites: When you receive from the people of Israel the tithes I have assigned as your allotment, give a tenth of the tithes you receive — a tithe of the tithe — to the LORD as a sacred offering. 27. The LORD will consider this offering as your harvest offering, as though it were the first grain from your own threshing floor or wine from your own winepress. 28. You must present one-tenth of the tithe received from the Israelites as a sacred offering to the LORD, This is the LORD'S sacred portion, and you must present it to Aaron the priest. 29. Be sure to give to the LORD the best portions of the gifts given to you. 30. "Also, give these instructions to the Levites: When you present the best part as your offering, it will be considered as though it came from your own threshing floor or winepress. 31. You Levites and your families may eat this food anywhere you wish, for it is your compensation for serving the Tabernacle. 32. You will not be considered guilty for accepting the LORD'S tithes if you give the best portion to the priests. But be careful not to treat the holy gifts of the people of Israel as though they were common. If you do, you will die. Numbers 18:9-32 NLT 4.

1. Then the LORD said to Aaron: "You, your sons, and your relatives from the tribe of Levi will be held responsible for any offenses related to the sanctuary. But you and your sons alone will be held responsible for violations connected with the priesthood. 2. "Bring your relatives of the tribe of Levi — your ancestral tribe — to assist you and your sons as you perform the sacred duties in front of the Tabernacle of the Covenant. 3. But as the Levites go about all their assigned duties at the Tabernacle, they must be careful not to go near any of the sacred objects or the altar. If they do, both you and they will die. 4. The Levites must join you in fulfilling their responsibilities for the care and maintenance of the Tabernacle, but no unauthorized person may assist you. 5 "You yourselves must perform the sacred duties inside the sancuary and at the altar. If you follow these instructions, the LORD'S anger will never gain blaze against the people of Israel. 6. I myself have chosen your fellow Levites from among the Israelites to be your special assistants. They are a gift to you, dedicated to the LORD for service in the Tabernacle. 7. But you and your sons, the priests, must personally handle all the priestly rituals associated with the altar and with everything behind the inner curtain. I am giving you the priesthood as your special privilege of service. Any unauthorized person who comes too near the sanctuary will be put to death." Numbers 18: 1-7 NLT 4.

1. Then the LORD said to Moses, 2. "Tell the people of Israel to bring you twelve wooden staffs, one from each leader of Israel's ancestrial tribes, and inscribe each leader's name on his staff, 3. Inscribe Aaron's name on the staff of the tribe of Levi, for there must be one staff for the leader of each ancestral tribe. 4. Place these staffs in the Tabernacle in front of the Ark containing the tablets of the Covenant, where I meet with you. 5. Buds will sprout on the staff belonging to the man I choose. Then I will finally put an end to the people'smurmuring and complaining against you." 6. So Moses gave the instructions to the people of Israel, and each of the twelve tribal leaders, including Aaron, brought Moses staff. 7. Moses placed the staffs in the LORD'S presence in the Tabernacle of the Covenant. 8. When he went into the Tabernacle of the Covenant the next day, he found that Aaron's staff, representing the tribe of Levi, had sprouted, budded, blossomed, and produced ripe almonds! 9. When Moses brought all the staffs out from the LORD'S presence, he showed them to the people. Each man claimed his own staff. 10. And the LORD said to Moses: "Place Aaron's staff permanently before the Ark of the Covenant to serve as a warning to rebels. This should put an end to their complaints against me and prevent any further deaths." 11. So Moses did as the LORD commanded him. 12. Then the people of Israel said to Moses, "Look, we are doomed! We are dead! We are ruined! 13. Everyone who even comes close to the Tabernacle of the LORD dies. Are we all doomed to die?" Numbers 17:1-12 NLT 4.

21. From then on Jesus began to tell his disciples plainly that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem, and that he would suffer many terrible things at the hands of the elders, the leading priests, and the teachers of religious law. He would be killed, but on the third day he would be raised from the dead. 22. But Peter took him aside and began to reprimand him for saying such things. "Heaven forbid, LORD," he said. "This will never happen to you!" 23. Jesus turned to Peter and said, "Get away from me, Satan! You are a dangerous trap to me. You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, not from God's." 24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me. 25. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it. 26. And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul? 27. For the Son of Man will come with his angels in the glory of his Father and will judge all people according to their deeds. 28. And I tell you the truth, some standing here right now will not die before they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom." Matthew 16:21-28 NLT 4.

13. When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?" 14. "Well," they replied, "some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, and others say Jeremiah or one of the other prophets." 15. Then he asked them, "But who do you say I am?" 16. Simon Peter answered, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the Living God." 17 Jesus replied, "You are blessed, Simon son of John, because my Father in heaven has revealed this to you. You did not learn this from any human being. 18. Now I say to you that you are Peter (which means 'rock'), and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it. 19. And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven." 20. Then he sternly warned the disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah. Matthew 16:13-20 NLT 4. Thank God Father, Son, and Holy Spirit for meeting you today.

1. One day the Pharisees and Sadducees came to test Jesus, demanding that he show them a miraculous sign from heaven to prove his authority. 2. He replied, "You know the saying, 3. 'Red sky at night means fair weather tomorrow; red sky in the monring means foul weather all day.' You know how to interpret the weather signs in the sky, but you don't know how to interpret the signs of the times! 4. Only an evil, adulterous generation would demand a miraculous sign, but the only sign I will give them is the sign of the prophet Jonah." Then Jesus left them and went away. 5. Later, after they crossed to the other side of the lake, the disciples discovered they had forgotten to bring any bread. 6. "Watch!" Jesus warned them. "Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the Sadducees." 7. At this they began to argue with each other because they hadn't brought any bread. 8. Jesus knew what they were saying, so he said, "You have so little faith! Why are you arguing with each other about having no bread? 9. Don't you understand even yet? Don't you remember the 5,000 I fed with five loaves, and the baskets of leftovers you picked up? 10. Or the 4,000 I fed with seven loaves, and the large baskets of leftovers you picked up? 11. Why can't you understand that I'm not talking about bread? So again I say, 'Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.'" 12. Then at last they understood that he wasn't speaking about the yeast in bread, but about the deceptive teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees. Matthew 16:1-12 NLT 4.

22. But Moses and Aaron fell face down on the ground. "O God," they pleaded, "you are the God who gives breath to all creatures. Must you be angry with all the people when only one man sins?" 23. And the LORD said to Moses, 24. "Then tell all the people to get away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram." 25. So Moses got up and rushed over to the tents of Dathan and Abiram, followed by the elders of Israel. 26. "Quick!" he told the people. "Get away from the tents of these wicked men, and don't touch anything that belongs to them. If you do, you will be destroyed for their sins." 27. So all the people stood back from the tents of Korah, Datha, and Abiram. Then Dathan and Abiram came out and stood at the entrances of their tents, together with their wives and children and little ones. 28. And Moses said, "This is how you will know that the LORD has sent me to do all these things that I have done — for I have not done them on my own. 29. If these men die a natural death, or if nothing unusual happens, then th eLORD has not sent me. 30. But if the LORD does something entirely new and the ground opens its mouth and swallows them and all their belongings, and they go down alive into the grave, then you will know that these men have shown contempt for the LORD." 31. He had hardly finished speaking the words when the ground suddenly split open beneath them. 32. The earth opened its mouth and swallowed the men, along with their households and all their followers who were standing with them, and everything they owned. 33. So they went down alive into the grave, along with all their belongings. The earth closed over them, and they all vanished from among the people of Israel. 34. All the people around them fled when they heard their screams, "The earth will swallow us, too!" they cried. 35. Then fire blazed forth from the LORD and burned up the 250 men who were offering incense. 36. And the LORD said to Moses, 37. "Tell Eleazar son of Aaron the priest to pull all the incense burners from the fire, for they are holy. Also tell him to scatter the burning coals. 38. Take the incense burners of these men who have sinned at the cost of their lives, and hammer the metal into a thin sheet to overlay the altar. Since these burners were used in the LORD'S presence they have become holy. Let them serve as a warning to the people of Israel." 39. So Eleazar the priest collected the 250 bronze incense burners that had been used by the men who died in the fire, and he hammered them into a thin sheet to overlay the altar. 40. This would warn the Israelites that no unauthorized person — no one who was not a descendant of Aaron — should ever enter the LORD'S presence to burn incense. If anyone did, the same thing would happen to them as happened to Korah and his followers. So the LORD'S instructions were carried out. 41.But the very next morning the whole community of Israel began muttering again against Moses and Aaron, saying "You have killed the LORD'S people!" 42. As the community gathered to protest against Moses and Aaron, they turned toward the Tabernacle and saw that the cloud had covered it, and the glorious presence of the LORD appeared. 43. Moses and Aaron came and stood in front of the Tabernacle, 44. and the LORD said to Moses, 45. "Get away from all these peole so that I can instantly destroy them!" But Moses and Aaron fell face down on the ground. 46. And Moses said to Aaron, "Quick, take an incense burner and place burning coals on it from the altar. Lay incense on it, and carry it out among the people to purify them and make them right with the LORD. The LORD'S anger is blazing against them — the plague has already begun." 47. Aaron did as Moses told him and ran out among the people. The plague had already begun to strike down the people, but Aaron burned the incesnse and purifed the people. 48. He stood between the dead and the living, and the plague stopped. 49. But 14,700 people died in that plague, in addition to those who had died in the affair involving Korah. 50. Then because the plague had stopped, Aaron returned to Moses at the entrance of the Tabernacle. Numbers 16:21-50 NLT 4. Thank God Father, Son, and Holy Spirit for meeting you today.

1. One day Korah son of Izhar, a descendant of Kohath son of Levi, conspired with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth, from the tribe of Reuben. 2. They incited a rebellion against Moses, along with 250 other leaders of the community, all prominent members of the assembly. 3. They united against Moses and Aaron and said, "You have gone too far! The whole community of Israel has been set apart by the LORD, and he is with all of us. What right do you have to act as though you are greater than the rest of the LORD'S people?" 4. When Moses heard what they were saying, he fell face down on the ground. 5. Then he said to Korah and his followers, "Tomorrow morning the LORD will show us who belongs to him and who is holy. The LORD will allow only those whom he selects to enter his own presence. 6. Korah, you and all your followers must prepare your incense burners. 7. Light fires in them tomorrow, and burn incense before the LORD. Then we will see whom the LORD chooses as his holy one. You Levites are the ones who have gone too far!" 8. Then Moses spoke again to Korah: "Now listen, you Levites! 9. Does it seem insignificant to you that the God of Israel has chosen you from among all the community of Israel to be near him so you can serve in the LORD'S Tabernacle and stand before the people to minister to them? 10. Korah, he has already given this special ministry to you and your fellow Levites. Are you now demanding the priesthood as well? 11. The LORD is the one you and your followers are really revolting against! For who is Aaron that you are complaining about him? 12. Then Moses summoned Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, but they replied, "We refuse to come before you! 13. Isn't it enough that you brought us out of Egypt, a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us here in this wilderness, and that you now treat us like your subjects? 14. What's more, you haven't brought us into another land flowing with milk and honey. You haven't given us a new homeland with fields nad vineyards. Are you trying to fool these men? We will not come." 15. Then Moses became very angry and said to the LORD, 'Do not accept their grain offerings! I have not taken so much as a donkey from them, and I have never hurt a single one of them." 16. And Moses said to Korah, "You and all your followers must come here tomorrow and present yourselves before the LORD. Aaron will also be here. 17. You and each of your 250 followers must prepare an incense burner and put incense on it, so you can all present them before the LORD. Aaron will also bring his incense burner." 18. So each of these men prepared an incense burner, lit the fire, and placed incense on it. Then they all stood at the entrance of the Tabernacle with Moses and Aaron. 19. Meanwhile, Kora had stirred up the entire community against Moses and Aaron, and they all gathered at the Tabernacle entrance. Then the glorious presence of the LORD appeared to the whole community. 20. and the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, 21. "Get away from all these people so that I may instantly destroy them!"

1. A wise child accepts a parent's discipline; a mocker refuses to listen to correction. 2. Wise words will win you a good meal, but treacherous people have an appetite for violence. 3. Those who control their tongue will have a long life; opening your mouth can ruin everything. 4. Lazy people want much but get little, but those who work hard will prosper. 5. The godly hate lies; the wicked cause shame and disgrace. 6. Godliness guards the path of the blemeless, but the evil are misled by sin. 7. Some who are poor pretend to be rich; others who are rich pretend to be poor. 8. The rich can pay a ransom for their lives, but the poor won't even get threatened. 9. The live of the godly is full of light and joy, but the light of the wicked will be snuffed out. 10. Pride leads to conflict; those who take advice are wise. 11. Wealth from get-rich-quick-schemes quickly disappears; wealth from hard work grows over time. 12. Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life. 13. People who despise advice are asking for trouble; those who respect a command will succeed. 14. The instruction of the wise is like a life-giving foundation; those who accept it avoid the snares of death. 15. A person with good sense is respected; a treacherous person is headed for destruction. 16. Wise people think before they act; fools don't — and even brag about their foolishness. 17. An unreliable messenger stumbles into trouble. but a reliable messenger brings healing. 18. If you ignore criticism, you will end in poverty and disgrace; if you accept correction, you will be honored. 19. It is pleasant to see dreams come true, but fools refuse to turn from evil to attain them. 20. Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble. 21. Trouble chases sinners, while blessings reward the righteous. 22. Good people leave an inheritance to their grandchildren, but the sinner's wealth passes to the godly. 23. A poor person's farm may produce much food, but injustice sweeps it all away. 24. Those who spare the rod of discipline hate their children. Those who love their children care enough to discipline them. 25. The godly eat to their hearts' content, but the belly of the wicked goes hungry. Proverbs 13:1-25 NLT 4.
