King James Version
31. Now these are the men whom David appointed over the service of song in the house of the LORD, after the ark came to rest. 32. They were ministering with music before the dwelling place of the tabernacle of meeting, until Solomon had built the house of the LORD in Jerusalem, and they served in their office according to their order. 33. And these are the ones who ministered with their sons: Of the sons of the Kohathites were Heman the singer, the son of Joel, the son of Samuel, 34. the son of Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Eliel, the son of Toah, 35. the son of Zuph, the son of Elkanah, the son of Mahath, the son of Amasai, 36. the son of Elkanah, the son of Joel, the son of Azariah, the son of Zephaniah, 37. the son of Tahath, the son of Assir, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, 38. the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, the son of Israel. 39. And his brother Asaph, who stood at his right hand, was Asaph the son of Berachiah, the son of Shimea, 40. the son of Michael, the son of Baaseiah, the son of Malchijah, 41. the son of Ethni, the son of Zerah, the son of Adaiah, 42. the son of Ethan, the son of Zimmah, the son of Shimei, 43. the son of Jahath, the son of Gershon, the son of Levi. 44. Their brethren, the sons of Merari, on the left hand, were Ethan the son of Kishi, the son of Abdi, the son of Malluch, 45. the son of Hashabiah, the son of Amaziah, the son of Hilkiah, 46. the son of Amzi, the son of Bani, the son of Shamer, 47. the son of Mahli, the son of Mushi, the son of Merari, the son of Levi. 48. And their brethren, the Levites, were appointed to every kind of service of the tabernacle of the house of God. 49. But Aaron and his sons offered sacrifices on the altar of burnt offering and on the altar of incense, for all the work of the Most Holy Place , and to make atonement for Israel, according to all that Moses the servant of God had commanded. 50. Now these are the sons of Aaron: Eleazar his son, Phinehas his son, Abishua his son, 51. Bukki his son, Uzzi his son, Zerahiah his son, 52. Meraioth his son, Amariah his son, Ahitub his son, 53. Zadok his son, and Ahimaaz his son. 54. Now these are their dwelling places throughout their settlements in their territory, for they were given by lot to the sons of Aaron, of the family of the Kohathites: 55. They gave them Hebron in the land of Judah, with its surrounding common–lands. 56. But the fields of the city and its villages they gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh. 57. And to the sons of Aaron they gave one of the cities of refuge, Hebron; also Libnah with its common–lands, Jattir, Eshtemoa with its common–lands, 58. Hilen with its common–lands, Debir with its common–lands, 59. Ashan with its common–lands, and Beth Shemesh with its common–lands. 60. And from the tribe of Benjamin: Geba with its common–lands, Alemeth with its common–lands, and Anathoth with its common–lands. All their cities among their families were thirteen. 61. To the rest of the family of the tribe of the Kohathites they gave by lot ten cities from half the tribe of Manasseh. 62. And to the sons of Gershon, throughout their families, they gave thirteen cities from the tribe of Issachar, from the tribe of Asher, from the tribe of Naphtali, and from the tribe of Manasseh in Bashan. 63. To the sons of Merari, throughout their families, they gave twelve cities from the tribe of Reuben, from the tribe of Gad, and from the tribe of Zebulun. 64. So the children of Israel gave these cities with their common–lands to the Levites. 65. And they gave by lot from the tribe of the children of Judah, from the tribe of the children of Simeon, and from the tribe of the children of Benjamin these cities which are called by their names. 66. Now some of the families of the sons of Kohath were given cities as their territory from the tribe of Ephraim. 67. And they gave them one of the cities of refuge, Shechem with its common–lands, in the mountains of Ephraim, also Gezer with its common–lands, 68. Jokmeam with its common–lands, Beth Horon with its common–lands, 69. Aijalon with its common–lands, and Gath Rimmon with its common–lands. 70. And from the half–tribe of Manasseh: Aner with its common–lands and Bileam with its common–lands, for the rest of the family of the sons of Kohath. 71. From the family of the half–tribe of Manasseh the sons of Gershon were given Golan in Bashan with its common–lands and Ashtaroth with its common–lands. 72. And from the tribe of Issachar: Kedesh with its common–lands, Daberath with its common–lands, 73. Ramoth with its common–lands, and Anem with its common–lands. 74. And from the tribe of Asher: Mashal with its common–lands, Abdon with its common–lands, 75. Hukok with its common–lands, and Rehob with its common–lands. 76. And from the tribe of Naphtali: Kedesh in Galilee with its common–lands, Hammon with its common–lands, and Kirjathaim with its common–lands. 77. From the tribe of Zebulun the rest of the children of Merari were given Rimmon with its common–lands and Tabor with its common–lands. 78. And on the other side of the Jordan, across from Jericho, on the east side of the Jordan, they were given from the tribe of Reuben: Bezer in the wilderness with its common–lands, Jahzah with its common–lands, 79. Kedemoth with its common–lands, and Mephaath with its common–lands. 80. And from the tribe of Gad: Ramoth in Gilead with its common–lands, Mahanaim with its common–lands, 81. Heshbon with its common–lands, and Jazer with its common–lands.
1. In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar a vision appeared to me––to me, Daniel––after the one that appeared to me the first time. 2. I saw in the vision, and it so happened while I was looking, that I was in Shushan, the citadel, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in the vision that I was by the River Ulai. 3. Then I lifted my eyes and saw, and there, standing beside the river, was a ram which had two horns, and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher one came up last. 4. I saw the ram pushing westward, northward, and southward, so that no animal could withstand him; nor was there any that could deliver from his hand, but he did according to his will and became great. 5. And as I was considering, suddenly a male goat came from the west, across the surface of the whole earth, without touching the ground; and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes. 6. Then he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing beside the river, and ran at him with furious power. 7. And I saw him confronting the ram; he was moved with rage against him, attacked the ram, and broke his two horns. There was no power in the ram to withstand him, but he cast him down to the ground and trampled him; and there was no one that could deliver the ram from his hand. 8. Therefore the male goat grew very great; but when he became strong, the large horn was broken, and in place of it four notable ones came up toward the four winds of heaven. 9. And out of one of them came a little horn which grew exceedingly great toward the south, toward the east, and toward the Glorious Land . 10. And it grew up to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and some of the stars to the ground, and trampled them. 11. He even exalted himself as high as the Prince of the host; and by him the daily sacrifices were taken away, and the place of His sanctuary was cast down. 12. Because of transgression, an army was given over to the horn to oppose the daily sacrifices ; and he cast truth down to the ground. He did all this and prospered. 13. Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who was speaking, "How long will the vision be, concerning the daily sacrifices and the transgression of desolation, the giving of both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled under foot?" 14. And he said to me, "For two thousand three hundred days; then the sanctuary shall be cleansed." 15. Then it happened, when I, Daniel, had seen the vision and was seeking the meaning, that suddenly there stood before me one having the appearance of a man. 16. And I heard a man’s voice between the banks of the Ulai, who called, and said, "Gabriel, make this man understand the vision." 17. So he came near where I stood, and when he came I was afraid and fell on my face; but he said to me, "Understand, son of man, that the vision refers to the time of the end." 18. Now, as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep with my face to the ground; but he touched me, and stood me upright. 19. And he said, "Look, I am making known to you what shall happen in the latter time of the indignation; for at the appointed time the end shall be . 20. "The ram which you saw, having the two horns–– they are the kings of Media and Persia. 21. "And the male goat is the kingdom of Greece. The large horn that is between its eyes is the first king. 22. "As for the broken horn and the four that stood up in its place, four kingdoms shall arise out of that nation, but not with its power. 23. "And in the latter time of their kingdom, When the transgressors have reached their fullness, A king shall arise, Having fierce features, Who understands sinister schemes. 24. His power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; He shall destroy fearfully, And shall prosper and thrive; He shall destroy the mighty, and also the holy people. 25. "Through his cunning He shall cause deceit to prosper under his rule; And he shall exalt himself in his heart. He shall destroy many in their prosperity. He shall even rise against the Prince of princes; But he shall be broken without human means. 26. "And the vision of the evenings and mornings Which was told is true; Therefore seal up the vision, For it refers to many days in the future ." 27. And I, Daniel, fainted and was sick for days; afterward I arose and went about the king’s business. I was astonished by the vision, but no one understood it.
22. Now it was the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem, and it was winter. 23. And Jesus walked in the temple, in Solomon’s porch. 24. Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him, "How long do You keep us in doubt? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly." 25. Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in My Father’s name, they bear witness of Me. 26. "But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you. 27. "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. 28. "And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. 29. "My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand. 30. "I and My Father are one." 31. Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him. 32. Jesus answered them, "Many good works I have shown you from My Father. For which of those works do you stone Me?" 33. The Jews answered Him, saying, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself God." 34. Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, "You are gods"’? 35. "If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken), 36. "do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’? 37. "If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me; 38. "but if I do, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in Me, and I in Him." 39. Therefore they sought again to seize Him, but He escaped out of their hand. 40. And He went away again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was baptizing at first, and there He stayed. 41. Then many came to Him and said, "John performed no sign, but all the things that John spoke about this Man were true." 42. And many believed in Him there.
