And He said to them on that day when evening had fallen, Let us go over to the other side.

 ¹And leaving the crowd, they took Him along, just as He was, in the boat; and other boats were with Him.

And there arose a great windstorm, and the waves beat into the boat, so that the boat was already beginning to fill up.

And He was in the stern,  ¹sleeping on the cushion. And they woke Him and said to Him, Teacher, does it not matter to You that we are perishing?

And having awoken, He  ¹rebuked the wind and said to the sea, Be silent! Be still! And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.

And He said to them, Why are you cowardly in this way? How is it that you do not have faith?

And they became greatly frightened and said to one another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea  ¹obey Him?

 ¹And they came to the other side of the sea, into the region of the Gerasenes.

And when He came out of the boat, immediately, from out of the tombs, a man with an unclean spirit met Him,

Who had his dwelling among the  ¹tombs. And no one could bind him any longer, not even with a chain,

Because he had often been bound with shackles and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him, and the shackles smashed, and no one was strong enough to subdue him.

And continually night and day, among the tombs and in the mountains, he cried out and gashed himself with stones.

And when he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and worshipped Him,

And crying out with a loud voice,  ¹he said,  ²What do I have to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure You by God, do not torment me!

For He had said to him, Come out of the man, unclean  ¹spirit.

And He questioned him, What is your name? And he said to Him, Legion is my name, because we are many.

And he entreated Him much not to send them out of the region.

Now there on the mountainside was a great herd of hogs feeding.

And  ¹they entreated Him, saying, Send us to the hogs, so that we may enter into them.

And  ¹He gave them permission. And the unclean spirits came out and entered into the hogs, and the herd, about two thousand, rushed down the steep slope into the sea, and they were drowned in the sea.

And those who were feeding them fled and reported it in the city and in the countryside. And they came to see what had happened.

And they came to Jesus and saw the demon possessed man sitting down, clothed, and sane, the man who had had the legion, and they became frightened.

And those who had seen it related to them how it had happened to the demon possessed man and concerning the hogs.

And they began to entreat Him to depart from their borders.

And as He got into the boat, the man who had been demon possessed begged Him that he might stay with Him.

And He did not allow him, but said to him, Go to your house, to your own people, and report to them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He has had mercy on you.

And he departed and began to proclaim in  ¹Decapolis what great things Jesus had done for him, and all marveled.

But if you will not  ¹listen to Me and will not do all these commandments,

And if you reject My statutes, and if your soul abhors My ordinances so that you will not do all My commandments, so as to break My covenant;

I also will do this to you: I will appoint  ¹sudden terror over you, even consumption and fever, that will cause the eyes to fail and make the soul to pine away; and you will sow your seed in vain, for your enemies will eat it.

And I will set My face against you, and you will be struck down before your enemies; and those who hate you will rule over you, and you will flee when no one pursues you.

And if after these things you will not listen to Me, then I will  ¹chastise you seven times more for your sins.

And I will break the pride of your power, and I will make your sky like iron and your land like bronze,

And your strength will be spent in vain, for your land will not yield its produce, nor will the trees of the land yield their fruit.

And if you walk contrary to Me and will not listen to Me, I will bring seven times more  ¹plagues upon you according to your sins.

And I will send  ¹wild animals among you, which will bereave you of your children and destroy your cattle and make you few in number, so that your roads will be deserted.

And if by these things you will not be corrected by Me, but walk contrary to Me,

Then I also will walk contrary to you; and I will  ¹strike you, I Myself, seven times for your sins.

And I will bring a  ¹sword upon you that will execute the vengeance of the covenant. And when you gather together within your cities, I will send  ¹pestilence among you, and you will be  ¹delivered into the hand of the enemy.

When I  ¹cut off your supply of bread, ten women will bake your bread in one oven; and they will return your bread  ²by weight, and you will eat and not be satisfied.

And if in spite of this you will not listen to Me, but walk contrary to Me,

Then I will walk contrary to you in wrath; and I will  ¹chastise you, I Myself, seven times for your sins.

And you will  ¹eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters you will eat.

And I will destroy your high places and cut down your altars to the sun and heap up your  ¹dead bodies upon the bodies of your idols, and My soul will abhor you.

And I will make your cities a  ¹waste and will make your holy places desolate, and I will not smell the savor of your satisfying fragrances.

And I will make the land  ¹desolate, so that your enemies who dwell in it will be astonished at it.

You however I will  ¹scatter among the nations, and I will unsheathe the sword after you; and your land will become a desolation, and your cities will become a waste.

Then the land will enjoy its  ¹Sabbaths during all the days of desolation while you are in your enemies' land; then the land will rest and enjoy its Sabbaths.

During all the days of desolation it will have the rest, which it did not have on your Sabbaths when you were dwelling upon it.

And as for those who remain among you, I will send faintness into their heart in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a driven leaf will  ¹put them to flight; and they will flee as one flees from the sword; and they will fall though no one pursues.

And they will stumble over one another, as if fleeing before the sword, though no one pursues; and you will not be able to stand before your enemies.

And you will perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies will consume you.

And those who are remaining among you will rot away because of their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also because of the iniquities of their fathers they will rot away with them.

But if they  ¹confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers, in their unfaithfulness which they committed against Me, and also that they walked contrary to Me,

So that I also walked contrary to them and brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised heart is humbled, and then they accept the punishment of their iniquity;

Then I will  ¹remember My covenant with Jacob, and I will remember also My covenant with Isaac and also My covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land.

For the land will be abandoned by them and will enjoy its Sabbaths while it is desolate without them. And they will accept the punishment of their iniquity because, even because, they rejected My ordinances, and their soul abhorred My statutes.

And yet in spite of this, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not  ¹reject them, nor will I abhor them so as to destroy them utterly and to break My covenant with them; for I am Jehovah their God.

But for their sakes I will remember the covenant with their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations so that I might be their God; I am Jehovah.

These are the statutes and ordinances and laws which Jehovah made between Himself and the children of Israel at Mount Sinai through Moses.

Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

Speak to the children of Israel and say to them, When a man  ¹makes a special vow to Jehovah, it shall be according to your  ²valuation of persons.

If your valuation is for the  ¹male from twenty years old even to sixty years old, then your valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver according to the shekel of the sanctuary.

And if it is for a  ¹female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels.

And if it is for one aged from  ¹five years old even to twenty years old, then your valuation for the male shall be twenty shekels and for the female ten shekels.

And if it is for one aged from a  ¹month old even to five years old, then your valuation for the male shall be five shekels of silver, and for the female your valuation shall be three shekels of silver.

And if it is for one aged from  ¹sixty years old and upward, if it is for a male, then your valuation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

But if it is for him who is poorer than your valuation, then he shall be set before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to the  ¹means of the one who vowed, the priest shall value him.

And if it is for an animal which may be presented to Jehovah as an offering, anything which may be given to Jehovah shall be  ¹holy.

He may not exchange it or substitute it, either a good one for a bad one or a bad one for a good one; but if he does indeed substitute animal for animal, then both it and its substitute shall be holy.

And if his vow is for any  ¹unclean animal, which may not be presented as an offering to Jehovah, then he shall set the animal before the priest,

And the priest shall value it, whether it is good or bad; as you, the priest, value it, so shall it be.

But if he ever redeems it, then he shall add  ¹one-fifth of it to your valuation.

And if anyone  ¹consecrates his house to be holy to Jehovah, then the  ²priest shall value it, whether it is good or bad; just as the priest values it, so shall it stand.

And if the one who consecrated it redeems his house, then he shall add  ¹one-fifth of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall become his.

And if a man consecrates to Jehovah part of a  ¹field of his possession, then your valuation shall be according to the  ²seed needed for it: a homer of barley seed at fifty shekels of silver.

If he consecrates his field from the  ¹year of jubilee, according to your valuation it shall stand.

But if he consecrates his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall calculate the money  ¹for him according to the years which remain until the year of jubilee, and it shall be deducted from your valuation.

And if the one who consecrated the field ever redeems it, then he shall add one-fifth of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall revert to him.

But if he does not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed anymore.

But the  ¹field, when it goes out in the jubilee, shall be holy to Jehovah as a devoted field; its possession shall be the priest's.

And if he consecrates to Jehovah a field which he has bought that is not part of the field of his possession,

Then the priest shall calculate for him the amount of your valuation until the year of jubilee, and on that day he shall give your valuation as holy to Jehovah.

In the year of jubilee the field shall return to the one from whom he bought it, even to the one to whom the possession of the land belongs.

And every valuation of yours shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary. The shekel shall be twenty gerahs.

However no one shall consecrate the  ¹firstborn among animals, which as a firstborn already belongs to Jehovah; whether it is an ox or a sheep, it is Jehovah's.

But if it is consecrated from among  ¹unclean animals, then he shall ransom it according to your valuation and shall add to it one-fifth of it. And if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.

Nevertheless anything which someone devotes to Jehovah out of all that he has, whether a human or an animal or a field of his possession, it shall not be sold or redeemed. Every devoted thing is  ¹most holy to Jehovah.

No human beings who are devoted to destruction shall be ransomed; they shall surely be put to death.

And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, is  ¹Jehovah's; it is holy to Jehovah.

And if anyone redeems any of his tithe, he shall add to it one-fifth of it.

And all the tithe of the herd or the flock, whatever passes under the shepherd's rod, the tenth one shall be holy to Jehovah.

He shall not search whether it is good or bad, nor shall he substitute it; but if he does substitute it at all, then both it and that for which it is substituted shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.

These are the commandments which Jehovah commanded Moses on Mount Sinai for the children of Israel.
