Numbers 4:1-5:31
1.(2013) Restitution for Wrongs (Numbers 5:5-8):
The Lord said to Moses, 6 “Say to the Israelites: ‘Any man or woman who wrongs another in any way[c] and so is unfaithful to the Lord is guilty 7 and must confess the sin they have committed. They must make full restitution for the wrong they have done, add a fifth of the value to it and give it all to the person they have wronged. 8 But if that person has no close relative to whom restitution can be made for the wrong, the restitution belongs to the Lord and must be given to the priest, along with the ram with which atonement is made for the wrongdoer.

2.(2013) Test for an Unfaithful Wife - Drink the words of the oath - It's fascinating that the priest was instructed to rinse the ink of the words of an oath into the water and then ingested by the oath-taker (in 5:23-24):
“‘The priest is to write these curses on a scroll and then wash them off into the bitter water. 24 He shall make the woman drink the bitter water that brings a curse, and this water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering will enter her.


Mark 12:18-37

Psalm 48:1-14
Walk about Zion, go around her,
count her towers,
13 consider well her ramparts,
view her citadels,
that you may tell of them
to the next generation.

14 For this God is our God for ever and ever;
he will be our guide even to the end.

Proverbs 10:26
