Exodus
15
Exo
15:1 Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to Yahweh,
and said, "I will sing to Yahweh, for he has triumphed
gloriously. The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.
Exo
15:2 Yah is my strength and song. He has become my salvation. This
is my God, and I will praise him; my father's God, and I will exalt
him.
Exo
15:3 Yahweh is a man of war. Yahweh is his name.
Exo
15:4 He has cast Pharaoh's chariots and his army into the sea. His
chosen captains are sunk in the Red Sea.
Exo
15:5 The deeps cover them. They went down into the depths like a
stone.
Exo
15:6 Your right hand, Yahweh, is glorious in power. Your right hand,
Yahweh, dashes the enemy in pieces.
Exo
15:7 In the greatness of your excellency, you overthrow those who
rise up against you. You send forth your wrath. It consumes them as
stubble.
Exo
15:8 With the blast of your nostrils, the waters were piled up. The
floods stood upright as a heap. The deeps were congealed in the heart
of the sea.
Exo
15:9 The enemy said, 'I will pursue. I will overtake. I will divide
the spoil. My desire shall be satisfied on them. I will draw my
sword, my hand shall destroy them.'
Exo
15:10 You blew with your wind. The sea covered them. They sank like
lead in the mighty waters.
Exo
15:11 Who is like you, Yahweh, among the gods? Who is like you,
glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
Exo
15:12 You stretched out your right hand. The earth swallowed them.
Exo
15:13 "You, in your loving kindness, have led the people that
you have redeemed. You have guided them in your strength to your holy
habitation.
Exo
15:14 The peoples have heard. They tremble. Pangs have taken hold on
the inhabitants of Philistia.
Exo
15:15 Then the chiefs of Edom were dismayed. Trembling takes hold of
the mighty men of Moab. All the inhabitants of Canaan are melted
away.
Exo
15:16 Terror and dread falls on them. By the greatness of your arm
they are as still as a stone-- until your people pass over, Yahweh,
until the people pass over who you have purchased.
Exo
15:17 You shall bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of
your inheritance, the place, Yahweh, which you have made for yourself
to dwell in; the sanctuary, Lord, which your hands have established.
Exo
15:18 Yahweh shall reign forever and ever."
Exo
15:19 For the horses of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with
his horsemen into the sea, and Yahweh brought back the waters of the
sea on them; but the children of Israel walked on dry land in the
midst of the sea.
Exo
15:20 Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a tambourine
in her hand; and all the women went out after her with tambourines
and with dances.
Exo
15:21 Miriam answered them, "Sing to Yahweh, for he has
triumphed gloriously. The horse and his rider he has thrown into the
sea."
Exo
15:22 Moses led Israel onward from the Red Sea, and they went out
into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the
wilderness, and found no water.
Exo
15:23 When they came to Marah, they couldn't drink from the waters
of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore its name was called Marah.
Exo
15:24 The people murmured against Moses, saying, "What shall we
drink?"
Exo
15:25 Then he cried to Yahweh. Yahweh showed him a tree, and he
threw it into the waters, and the waters were made sweet. There he
made a statute and an ordinance for them, and there he tested them;
Exo
15:26 and he said, "If you will diligently listen to the voice
of Yahweh your God, and will do that which is right in his eyes, and
will pay attention to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I
will put none of the diseases on you, which I have put on the
Egyptians; for I am Yahweh who heals you."
Exo
15:27 They came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water,
and seventy palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters.
Mar. 5, 6
Mark 5
Mar 5:1 They came to
the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
Mar 5:2 When he had
come out of the boat, immediately a man with an unclean spirit met
him out of the tombs.
Mar 5:3 He lived in the
tombs. Nobody could bind him any more, not even with chains,
Mar 5:4 because he had
been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been
torn apart by him, and the fetters broken in pieces. Nobody had the
strength to tame him.
Mar 5:5 Always, night
and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and
cutting himself with stones.
Mar 5:6 When he saw
Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed down to him,
Mar 5:7 and crying out
with a loud voice, he said, "What have I to do with you, Jesus,
you Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, don't torment me."
Mar 5:8 For he said to
him, "Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!"
Mar 5:9 He asked him,
"What is your name?" He said to him, "My name is
Legion, for we are many."
Mar 5:10 He begged him
much that he would not send them away out of the country.
Mar 5:11 Now on the
mountainside there was a great herd of pigs feeding.
Mar 5:12 All the demons
begged him, saying, "Send us into the pigs, that we may enter
into them."
Mar 5:13 At once Jesus
gave them permission. The unclean spirits came out and entered into
the pigs. The herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank
into the sea, and they were drowned in the sea.
Mar 5:14 Those who fed
them fled, and told it in the city and in the country. The people
came to see what it was that had happened.
Mar 5:15 They came to
Jesus, and saw him who had been possessed by demons sitting, clothed,
and in his right mind, even him who had the legion; and they were
afraid.
Mar 5:16 Those who saw
it declared to them how it happened to him who was possessed by
demons, and about the pigs.
Mar 5:17 They began to
beg him to depart from their region.
Mar 5:18 As he was
entering into the boat, he who had been possessed by demons begged
him that he might be with him.
Mar 5:19 He didn't
allow him, but said to him, "Go to your house, to your friends,
and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how he
had mercy on you."
Mar 5:20 He went his
way, and began to proclaim in Decapolis how Jesus had done great
things for him, and everyone marveled.
Mar 5:21 When Jesus had
crossed back over in the boat to the other side, a great multitude
was gathered to him; and he was by the sea.
Mar 5:22 Behold, one of
the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, came; and seeing him, he
fell at his feet,
Mar 5:23 and begged him
much, saying, "My little daughter is at the point of death.
Please come and lay your hands on her, that she may be made healthy,
and live."
Mar 5:24 He went with
him, and a great multitude followed him, and they pressed upon him on
all sides.
Mar 5:25 A certain
woman, who had an issue of blood for twelve years,
Mar 5:26 and had
suffered many things by many physicians, and had spent all that she
had, and was no better, but rather grew worse,
Mar 5:27 having heard
the things concerning Jesus, came up behind him in the crowd, and
touched his clothes.
Mar 5:28 For she said,
"If I just touch his clothes, I will be made well."
Mar 5:29 Immediately
the flow of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she
was healed of her affliction.
Mar 5:30 Immediately
Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power had gone out from him,
turned around in the crowd, and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"
Mar 5:31 His disciples
said to him, "You see the multitude pressing against you, and
you say, 'Who touched me?' "
Mar 5:32 He looked
around to see her who had done this thing.
Mar 5:33 But the woman,
fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and
fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
Mar 5:34 He said to
her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and
be cured of your disease."
Mar 5:35 While he was
still speaking, people came from the synagogue ruler's house saying,
"Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher any more?"
Mar 5:36 But Jesus,
when he heard the message spoken, immediately said to the ruler of
the synagogue, "Don't be afraid, only believe."
Mar 5:37 He allowed no
one to follow him, except Peter, James, and John the brother of
James.
Mar 5:38 He came to the
synagogue ruler's house, and he saw an uproar, weeping, and great
wailing.
Mar 5:39 When he had
entered in, he said to them, "Why do you make an uproar and
weep? The child is not dead, but is asleep."
Mar 5:40 They ridiculed
him. But he, having put them all out, took the father of the child,
her mother, and those who were with him, and went in where the child
was lying.
Mar 5:41 Taking the
child by the hand, he said to her, "Talitha cumi!" which
means, being interpreted, "Girl, I tell you, get up!"
Mar 5:42 Immediately
the girl rose up and walked, for she was twelve years old. They were
amazed with great amazement.
Mar 5:43 He strictly
ordered them that no one should know this, and commanded that
something should be given to her to eat.
