Bible Reading for February 20

Number 11
[1] And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard
it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and
consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp. [2] And the people
cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the LORD, the fire was quenched.
[3] And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the LORD
burnt among them.
[4] And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children
of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
[5] We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and
the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick: [6] But our soul is
dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes.
[7] And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the colour
of bdellium.
[8] And the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat
it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it
was as the taste of fresh oil. [9] And when the dew fell upon the camp in the
night, the manna fell upon it.
[10] Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every man in
the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly; Moses also
was displeased.
[11] And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant?
and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden
of all this people upon me? [12] Have I conceived all this people? have I
begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a
nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto
their fathers? [13] Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people?
for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat. [14] I am not
able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.
[15] And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I
have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness. [16] And
the LORD said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel,
whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and
bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there
with thee.
[17] And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the
spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the
burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone. [18] And
say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow, and ye shall
eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, Who shall give us
flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore the LORD will give
you flesh, and ye shall eat. [19] Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor
five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;
[20] But even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be
loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the LORD which is among you,
and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt? [21] And
Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand footmen; and
thou hast said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month.
[22] Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to suffice them? or
shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice them?
[23] And the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD's hand waxed short? thou shalt
see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not. [24] And Moses
went out, and told the people the words of the LORD, and gathered the seventy
men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the tabernacle.
[25] And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the
spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders: and it came to
pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not
cease.
[26] But there remained two of the men in the camp, the name of the one was
Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the spirit rested upon them; and
they were of them that were written, but went not out unto the tabernacle: and
they prophesied in the camp.
[27] And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do
prophesy in the camp.
[28] And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his young men,
answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them. [29] And Moses said unto him,
Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the LORD's people were prophets,
and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!
[30] And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel. [31] And
there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought quails from the sea, and let
them fall by the camp, as it were a day's journey on this side, and as it were
a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and as it were two
cubits high upon the face of the earth. [32] And the people stood up all that
day, and all that night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he
that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for
themselves round about the camp. [33] And while the flesh was yet between their
teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people,
and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague.
[34] And he called the name of that place Kibroth-hattaavah: because there they
buried the people that lusted. [35] And the people journeyed from
Kibroth-hattaavah unto Hazeroth; and abode at Hazeroth.

Number 12
[1] And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman
whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman. [2] And they said,
Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And
the LORD heard it. [3] (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men
which were upon the face of the earth.)
[4] And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam,
Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came
out.
[5] And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of
the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth. [6] And
he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will
make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.
[7] My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house. [8] With him
will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the
similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to
speak against my servant Moses? [9] And the anger of the LORD was kindled
against them; and he departed. [10] And the cloud departed from off the
tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked
upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.
[11] And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin
upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned. [12] Let
her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out
of his mother's womb.
[13] And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech
thee.
[14] And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face,
should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven
days, and after that let her be received in again. [15] And Miriam was shut out
from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought
in again. [16] And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in
the wilderness of Paran.

Number 13
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, [2] Send thou men, that they may
search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every
tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them.
[3] And Moses by the commandment of the LORD sent them from the wilderness of
Paran: all those men were heads of the children of Israel. [4] And these were
their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.
[5] Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori. [6] Of the tribe of Judah,
Caleb the son of Jephunneh. [7] Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of
Joseph. [8] Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun. [9] Of the tribe of
Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu. [10] Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son
of Sodi. [11] Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi
the son of Susi.
[12] Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli. [13] Of the tribe of
Asher, Sethur the son of Michael. [14] Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son
of Vophsi. [15] Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi. [16] These are the
names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea
the son of Nun Jehoshua. [17] And Moses sent them to spy out the land of
Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the
mountain: [18] And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth
therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many; [19] And what the land is
that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that
they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds;
[20] And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood
therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land.
Now the time was the time of the firstripe grapes. [21] So they went up, and
searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.
[22] And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman,
Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven
years before Zoan in Egypt.)
[23] And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch
with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and they
brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs. [24] The place was called the
brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut
down from thence. [25] And they returned from searching of the land after forty
days. [26] And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the
congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to
Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and
shewed them the fruit of the land.
[27] And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest
us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
[28] Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities
are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.
[29] The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the
Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell
by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan. [30] And Caleb stilled the people
before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well
able to overcome it. [31] But the men that went up with him said, We be not
able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we. [32] And they
brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children
of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land
that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it
are men of a great stature. [33] And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak,
which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so
we were in their sight.

Number 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.
