King James Version
1. Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 2. And Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children; therefore Eleazar and Ithamar ministered as priests. 3. Then David with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to the schedule of their service. 4. There were more leaders found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar, and thus they were divided. Among the sons of Eleazar were sixteen heads of their fathers’ houses, and eight heads of their fathers’ houses among the sons of Ithamar. 5. Thus they were divided by lot, one group as another, for there were officials of the sanctuary and officials of the house of God, from the sons of Eleazar and from the sons of Ithamar. 6. And the scribe, Shemaiah the son of Nethanel, one of the Levites, wrote them down before the king, the leaders, Zadok the priest, Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the priests and Levites, one father’s house taken for Eleazar and one for Ithamar. 7. Now the first lot fell to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah, 8. the third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim, 9. the fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin, 10. the seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah, 11. the ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shecaniah, 12. the eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim, 13. the thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab, 14. the fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer, 15. the seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Happizzez, 16. the nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezekel, 17. the twenty–first to Jachin, the twenty–second to Gamul, 18. the twenty–third to Delaiah, the twenty–fourth to Maaziah. 19. This was the schedule of their service for coming into the house of the LORD according to their ordinance by the hand of Aaron their father, as the LORD God of Israel had commanded him. 20. And the rest of the sons of Levi: of the sons of Amram, Shubael; of the sons of Shubael, Jehdeiah. 21. Concerning Rehabiah, of the sons of Rehabiah, the first was Isshiah. 22. Of the Izharites, Shelomoth; of the sons of Shelomoth, Jahath. 23. Of the sons of Hebron , Jeriah was the first , Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth. 24. Of the sons of Uzziel, Michah; of the sons of Michah, Shamir. 25. The brother of Michah, Isshiah; of the sons of Isshiah, Zechariah. 26. The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi; the son of Jaaziah, Beno. 27. The sons of Merari by Jaaziah were Beno, Shoham, Zaccur, and Ibri. 28. Of Mahli: Eleazar, who had no sons. 29. Of Kish: the son of Kish, Jerahmeel. 30. Also the sons of Mushi were Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites according to their fathers’ houses. 31. These also cast lots just as their brothers the sons of Aaron did, in the presence of King David, Zadok, Ahimelech, and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the priests and Levites. The chief fathers did just as their younger brethren.
1. The word of the LORD that came to Joel the son of Pethuel. 2. Hear this, you elders, And give ear, all you inhabitants of the land! Has anything like this happened in your days, Or even in the days of your fathers? 3. Tell your children about it, Let your children tell their children, And their children another generation. 4. What the chewing locust left, the swarming locust has eaten; What the swarming locust left, the crawling locust has eaten; And what the crawling locust left, the consuming locust has eaten. 5. Awake, you drunkards, and weep; And wail, all you drinkers of wine, Because of the new wine, For it has been cut off from your mouth. 6. For a nation has come up against My land, Strong, and without number; His teeth are the teeth of a lion, And he has the fangs of a fierce lion. 7. He has laid waste My vine, And ruined My fig tree; He has stripped it bare and thrown it away; Its branches are made white. 8. Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth For the husband of her youth. 9. The grain offering and the drink offering Have been cut off from the house of the LORD; The priests mourn, who minister to the LORD. 10. The field is wasted, The land mourns; For the grain is ruined, The new wine is dried up, The oil fails. 11. Be ashamed, you farmers, Wail, you vinedressers, For the wheat and the barley; Because the harvest of the field has perished. 12. The vine has dried up, And the fig tree has withered; The pomegranate tree, The palm tree also, And the apple tree––All the trees of the field are withered; Surely joy has withered away from the sons of men. 13. Gird yourselves and lament, you priests; Wail, you who minister before the altar; Come, lie all night in sackcloth, You who minister to my God; For the grain offering and the drink offering Are withheld from the house of your God. 14. Consecrate a fast, Call a sacred assembly; Gather the elders And all the inhabitants of the land Into the house of the LORD your God, And cry out to the LORD. 15. Alas for the day! For the day of the LORD is at hand; It shall come as destruction from the Almighty. 16. Is not the food cut off before our eyes, Joy and gladness from the house of our God? 17. The seed shrivels under the clods, Storehouses are in shambles; Barns are broken down, For the grain has withered. 18. How the animals groan! The herds of cattle are restless, Because they have no pasture; Even the flocks of sheep suffer punishment. 19. O LORD, to You I cry out; For fire has devoured the open pastures, And a flame has burned all the trees of the field. 20. The beasts of the field also cry out to You, For the water brooks are dried up, And fire has devoured the open pastures.
28. After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, "I thirst!" 29. Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and put it to His mouth. 30. So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit. 31. Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day , that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. 32. Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with Him. 33. But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs. 34. But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out. 35. And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you may believe. 36. For these things were done that the Scripture should be fulfilled, "Not one of His bones shall be broken." 37. And again another Scripture says, "They shall look on Him whom they pierced." 38. After this, Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took the body of Jesus. 39. And Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds. 40. Then they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in strips of linen with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury. 41. Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid. 42. So there they laid Jesus, because of the Jews’ Preparation Day , for the tomb was nearby.
