1 Blessed are all those who fear the Lord, ♦︎
and walk in his ways.
2 You shall eat the fruit of the toil of your hands; ♦︎
it shall go well with you, and happy shall you be.
3 Your wife within your house
shall be like a fruitful vine; ♦︎
your children round your table,
like fresh olive branches.
4 Thus shall the one be blest ♦︎
who fears the Lord.
5 The Lord from out of Zion bless you, ♦︎
that you may see Jerusalem in prosperity
all the days of your life.
6 May you see your childrens children, ♦︎
and may there be peace upon Israel.

4 From Mount Hor they set out by the way to the Red Sea,* to go around the land of Edom; but the people became impatient on the way. 5The people spoke against God and against Moses, Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and we detest this miserable food. 6Then the Lord sent poisonous* serpents among the people, and they bit the people, so that many Israelites died. 7The people came to Moses and said, We have sinned by speaking against the Lord and against you; pray to the Lord to take away the serpents from us. So Moses prayed for the people. 8And the Lord said to Moses, Make a poisonous* serpent, and set it on a pole; and everyone who is bitten shall look at it and live. 9So Moses made a serpent of bronze, and put it upon a pole; and whenever a serpent bit someone, that person would look at the serpent of bronze and live.

3Therefore, brothers and sisters,* holy partners in a heavenly calling, consider that Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession, 2was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in all* Gods* house. 3Yet Jesus* is worthy of more glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house has more honour than the house itself. 4(For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.) 5Now Moses was faithful in all Gods* house as a servant, to testify to the things that would be spoken later. 6Christ, however, was faithful over Gods* house as a son, and we are his house if we hold firm* the confidence and the pride that belong to hope.
