Numbers 32
1
The Reubenites and Gadites, who had very large herds and flocks, saw that the lands of Jazer and Gilead were suitable for livestock.
2
So they came to Moses and Eleazar the priest and to the leaders of the community, and said,
3
“Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo and Beon—
4
the land the LORD subdued before the people of Israel—are suitable for livestock, and your servants have livestock.
5
If we have found favor in your eyes,” they said, “let this land be given to your servants as our possession. Do not make us cross the Jordan.”
6
Moses said to the Gadites and Reubenites, “Should your fellow Israelites go to war while you sit here?
7
Why do you discourage the Israelites from crossing over into the land the LORD has given them?
8
This is what your fathers did when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to look over the land.
9
After they went up to the Valley of Eshkol and viewed the land, they discouraged the Israelites from entering the land the LORD had given them.
10
The LORD’s anger was aroused that day and he swore this oath:
11
‘Because they have not followed me wholeheartedly, not one of those who were twenty years old or more when they came up out of Egypt will see the land I promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob—
12
not one except Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua son of Nun, for they followed the LORD wholeheartedly.’
13
The LORD’s anger burned against Israel and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the whole generation of those who had done evil in his sight was gone.
14
“And here you are, a brood of sinners, standing in the place of your fathers and making the LORD even more angry with Israel.
15
If you turn away from following him, he will again leave all this people in the wilderness, and you will be the cause of their destruction.”
16
Then they came up to him and said, “We would like to build pens here for our livestock and cities for our women and children.
17
But we will arm ourselves for battle and go ahead of the Israelites until we have brought them to their place. Meanwhile our women and children will live in fortified cities, for protection from the inhabitants of the land.
18
We will not return to our homes until each of the Israelites has received their inheritance.
19
We will not receive any inheritance with them on the other side of the Jordan, because our inheritance has come to us on the east side of the Jordan.”
20
Then Moses said to them, “If you will do this—if you will arm yourselves before the LORD for battle
21
and if all of you who are armed cross over the Jordan before the LORD until he has driven his enemies out before him—
22
then when the land is subdued before the LORD, you may return and be free from your obligation to the LORD and to Israel. And this land will be your possession before the LORD.
23
“But if you fail to do this, you will be sinning against the LORD; and you may be sure that your sin will find you out.
24
Build cities for your women and children, and pens for your flocks, but do what you have promised.”
25
The Gadites and Reubenites said to Moses, “We your servants will do as our lord commands.
26
Our children and wives, our flocks and herds will remain here in the cities of Gilead.
27
But your servants, every man who is armed for battle, will cross over to fight before the LORD, just as our lord says.”
28
Then Moses gave orders about them to Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun and to the family heads of the Israelite tribes.
29
He said to them, “If the Gadites and Reubenites, every man armed for battle, cross over the Jordan with you before the LORD, then when the land is subdued before you, you must give them the land of Gilead as their possession.
30
But if they do not cross over with you armed, they must accept their possession with you in Canaan.”
31
The Gadites and Reubenites answered, “Your servants will do what the LORD has said.
32
We will cross over before the LORD into Canaan armed, but the property we inherit will be on this side of the Jordan.”
33
Then Moses gave to the Gadites, the Reubenites and the half-tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan—the whole land with its cities and the territory around them.
34
The Gadites built up Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,
35
Atroth Shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,
36
Beth Nimrah and Beth Haran as fortified cities, and built pens for their flocks.
37
And the Reubenites rebuilt Heshbon, Elealeh and Kiriathaim,
38
as well as Nebo and Baal Meon (these names were changed) and Sibmah. They gave names to the cities they rebuilt.
39
The descendants of Makir son of Manasseh went to Gilead, captured it and drove out the Amorites who were there.
40
So Moses gave Gilead to the Makirites, the descendants of Manasseh, and they settled there.
41
Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, captured their settlements and called them Havvoth Jair.
42
And Nobah captured Kenath and its surrounding settlements and called it Nobah after himself.

53
Take possession of the land and settle in it, for I have given you the land to possess.
54
Distribute the land by lot, according to your clans. To a larger group give a larger inheritance, and to a smaller group a smaller one. Whatever falls to them by lot will be theirs. Distribute it according to your ancestral tribes.
55
“ ‘But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land, those you allow to remain will become barbs in your eyes and thorns in your sides. They will give you trouble in the land where you will live.
56
And then I will do to you what I plan to do to them.’ ”

Numbers 34
1
The LORD said to Moses,
2
“Command the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you enter Canaan, the land that will be allotted to you as an inheritance is to have these boundaries:
3
“ ‘Your southern side will include some of the Desert of Zin along the border of Edom. Your southern boundary will start in the east from the southern end of the Dead Sea,
4
cross south of Scorpion Pass, continue on to Zin and go south of Kadesh Barnea. Then it will go to Hazar Addar and over to Azmon,
5
where it will turn, join the Wadi of Egypt and end at the Mediterranean Sea.
6
“ ‘Your western boundary will be the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. This will be your boundary on the west.
7
“ ‘For your northern boundary, run a line from the Mediterranean Sea to Mount Hor
8
and from Mount Hor to Lebo Hamath. Then the boundary will go to Zedad,
9
continue to Ziphron and end at Hazar Enan. This will be your boundary on the north.
10
“ ‘For your eastern boundary, run a line from Hazar Enan to Shepham.
11
The boundary will go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain and continue along the slopes east of the Sea of Galilee.
12
Then the boundary will go down along the Jordan and end at the Dead Sea. “ ‘This will be your land, with its boundaries on every side.’ ”
13
Moses commanded the Israelites: “Assign this land by lot as an inheritance. The LORD has ordered that it be given to the nine-and-a-half tribes,
14
because the families of the tribe of Reuben, the tribe of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance.
15
These two-and-a-half tribes have received their inheritance east of the Jordan across from Jericho, toward the sunrise.”
16
The LORD said to Moses,
17
“These are the names of the men who are to assign the land for you as an inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.
18
And appoint one leader from each tribe to help assign the land.

Mark 9:30-50
30
They left that place and passed through Galilee. Jesus did not want anyone to know where they were,
31
because he was teaching his disciples. He said to them, “The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men. They will kill him, and after three days he will rise.”
32
But they did not understand what he meant and were afraid to ask him about it.
33
They came to Capernaum. When he was in the house, he asked them, “What were you arguing about on the road?”
34
But they kept quiet because on the way they had argued about who was the greatest.
35
Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, “Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, and the servant of all.”
36
He took a little child whom he placed among them. Taking the child in his arms, he said to them,
37
“Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me.”
38
“Teacher,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we told him to stop, because he was not one of us.”
39
“Do not stop him,” Jesus said. “For no one who does a miracle in my name can in the next moment say anything bad about me,
40
for whoever is not against us is for us.
41
Truly I tell you, anyone who gives you a cup of water in my name because you belong to the Messiah will certainly not lose their reward.
42
“If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them if a large millstone were hung around their neck and they were thrown into the sea.
43
If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out.
45
And if your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two feet and be thrown into hell.
47
And if your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell,
48
where “ ‘the worms that eat them do not die,and the fire is not quenched.’
49
Everyone will be salted with fire.
50
“Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can you make it salty again? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with each other.”
