Exodus 3:1-6
1) Now Moses was keeping the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the back of the wilderness, and came to God‘s mountain, to Horeb.
2) The angel of Yahweh appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
3) Moses said, I will turn aside now, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
4) When Yahweh saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the midst of the bush, and said, "Moses! Moses!" He said, "Here I am."
5) He said, "Don‘t come close. Take off your sandals from off your feet, for the place you are standing on is holy ground."
6) Moreover he said, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look at God.


2 Samuel 12:1-23
1) Yahweh sent Nathan to David. He came to him, and said to him, "There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor.
2) The rich man had very many flocks and herds,
3) but the poor man had nothing, except one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and raised. It grew up together with him, and with his children. It ate of his own food, drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was to him like a daughter.
4) A traveler came to the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man who had come to him, but took the poor man‘s lamb, and dressed it for the man who had come to him."
5) David‘s anger was greatly kindled against the man, and he said to Nathan, "As Yahweh lives, the man who has done this is worthy to die!
6) He shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity!"
7) Nathan said to David, "You are the man. This is what Yahweh, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you out of the hand of Saul.
8) I gave you your master‘s house, and your master‘s wives into your bosom, and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that would have been too little, I would have added to you many more such things.
9) Why have you despised the word of Yahweh, to do that which is evil in his sight? You have struck Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and have taken his wife to be your wife, and have slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.
10) Now therefore the sword will never depart from your house, because you have despised me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.‘
11) This is what Yahweh says: ‘Behold, I will raise up evil against you out of your own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes, and give them to your neighbor, and he will lie with your wives in the sight of this sun.
12) For you did it secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.‘"
13) David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against Yahweh." Nathan said to David, "Yahweh also has put away your sin. You will not die.
14) However, because by this deed you have given great occasion to Yahweh‘s enemies to blaspheme, the child also who is born to you shall surely die."
15) Nathan departed to his house. Yahweh struck the child that Uriah‘s wife bore to David, and it was very sick.
16) David therefore begged God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night on the earth.
17) The elders of his house arose, [and stood] beside him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them.
18) It happened on the seventh day, that the child died. The servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead; for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spoke to him, and he didn‘t listen to our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead!
19) But when David saw that his servants were whispering together, David perceived that the child was dead; and David said to his servants, Is the child dead? They said, He is dead.
20) Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his clothing; and he came into the house of Yahweh, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he ate.
21) Then said his servants to him, What thing is this that you have done? you did fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, you did rise and eat bread.
22) He said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who knows whether Yahweh will not be gracious to me, that the child may live?
23) But now he is dead, why should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me.


Job 19:23-27
23) "Oh that my words were now written! Oh that they were inscribed in a book!
24) That with an iron pen and lead They were engraved in the rock forever!
25) But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives. In the end, he will stand upon the earth.
26) After my skin is destroyed, Then in my flesh shall I see God,
27) Whom I, even I, shall see on my side. My eyes shall see, and not as a stranger. "My heart is consumed within me.


Psalm 23:1-6
1) Yahweh is my shepherd: I shall lack nothing.
2) He makes me to lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.
3) He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name‘s sake.
4) Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
5) You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You have anointed my head with oil. My cup runs over.
6) Surely goodness and lovingkindness shall follow me all the days of my life, And I shall dwell in Yahweh‘s house forever. Psalm 24 A Psalm by David.


Daniel 12:1-13
1) "At that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who stands for the children of your people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone who shall be found written in the book.
2) Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3) Those who are wise shall shine as the brightness of the expanse; and those who turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.
4) But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run back and forth, and knowledge shall be increased."
5) Then I, Daniel, looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on the brink of the river on this side, and the other on the brink of the river on that side.
6) One said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
7) I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by him who lives forever that it shall be for a time, times, and a half; and when they have made an end of breaking in pieces the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
8) I heard, but I didn‘t understand: then said I, my lord, what shall be the issue of these things?
9) He said, Go your way, Daniel; for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end.
10) Many shall purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined; but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand; but those who are wise shall understand.
11) From the time that the continual [burnt offering] shall be taken away, and the abomination that makes desolate set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred ninety days.
12) Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred thirty-five days.
13) But go you your way until the end be; for you shall rest, and shall stand in your lot, at the end of the days.


Mark 12:18-27
18) There came to him Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection. They asked him, saying,
19) "Teacher, Moses wrote to us, ‘If a man‘s brother dies, and leaves a wife behind him, and leaves no child, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up children to his brother.‘
20) There were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and dying left no children.
21) The second took her, and died, leaving no children behind him. The third likewise;
22) and the seven took her and left no children. Last of all the woman also died.
23) In the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be of them? For the seven had her as a wife."
24) Jesus answered them, "Isn‘t this because you are mistaken, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God?
25) For when they will rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
26) But about the dead, that they are raised; haven‘t you read in the book of Moses, at the Bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?‘
27) He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are therefore badly mistaken."
