Podcasts about Measure

How do you measure a good day? What are the things you can control when everything feels out of control? As we walked through a month of ICU hospitalization with our son for his bone marrow transplant, he was unable to even leave his room for 28 days. To keep from focusing on the isolation and sickness, we developed a plan to measure a “good day”. No matter what happened in a day, if we could do most of these things, we can say that it was a day well spent. A good day. On todays episode, I walk through the following list, explaining how these items helped the doctors describe my son's mindset as “the model patient”. If these items work for you in an isolated hospital, you can trust they will help you make the most of the blessedly “normal” days in your life as well!   What makes up a Good Day? - Time with God - Train my body - move! - Eat intentionally - Encourage someone - Learn something - Play - Talk to a friend - Tell people I love them   This is the third episode in my “Upside Down Insights” series. Birthed out of our bone marrow transplant journey, these are insights God has given me as our world turned upside down.   Resources Mentioned: Sign up for my Things for Thursday Email: https://tinyurl.com/292kv68y   If you like this episode, check out Centering on Christ in the Midst of Chaos with Virgil Tanner: https://letsparentonpurpose.com/2022/01/02/ centering-on-christ-in-the-midst-of-chaos-with-virgil-tanner/

Can you measure capacitors in-circuit with an LCR meter? Forum: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/blog/eevblog-1473-how-your-lcr-meter-works/ Youtube: Odysee:

In November 2020, Oregon voters approved Measure 110, essentially decriminalizing possession of small amounts of drugs — from heroin to cocaine to opioid pills. Instead of criminal penalties, the law calls for treatment centers to be set up all over the state, so addiction could be treated as a health care issue, not a law enforcement issue. he problem, law enforcement says, is that has led to a huge increase in the amount of drugs on the streets — and now, an increase in crime. KGW joined Sgt. Matt Ferguson, the leader of the Special Investigations Unit of the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office, for a ride-along to see what that looks like. On this day, Ferguson and his team partnered with Portland Police to run surveillance on a motel in Northeast Portland.

Forests suck up roughly 30% of our carbon emissions annually. If we want a fighting chance against climate change, we need them to keep doing this, and if possible to suck up more. However, there are different theories as how to best manage forest for carbon storage. Luckily, some research has shed some light on this issue. Do new forests suck up more carbon than old? How does carbon released during a forest fire compare to carbon released during harvesting? How do we do the most good for the most people?ResourcesSierra ClubSponsorsWest FraserGreenLink Forestry Inc.Damaged TimberForest ProudQuotes1.01.34 - 1.01.44: “We know that forests can be a missing piece of… the things we could do to combat climate change.”TakeawaysForest service: then and now (12.11)Jim narrates the history of logging and construction in US forests, which inspired the conservation movement in the late 1800s. Canada and USA differences (16.45)Jim outlines the differences between Canada and the USA: Canada has less people but more public forest estate and uses less wood.Determine where to conserve nature (24.15)Bev has been involved in various aspects of global carbon cycle research for over 30 years to understand the role of forests in taking carbon from the atmosphere. Carbon density and biodiversity (28.00)Bev's team's research showed that where carbon density was higher, so was biodiversity. They modelled future carbon accumulation under future climate conditions. Forest carbon accounting (32.40)Afforestation increases forest carbon 10 times more than reforestation, and a young forest takes the “slow in, fast out” approach in restoring carbon balance. “Greatest good for the greatest number” (37.59)While private industrial lands are managed for economic value, public forests, particularly old growth ones, should be managed for carbon sequestration. Reexamining forest management practices (42.37)Jim shares his experience working with the forest of the Pacific Northwest in the early 1990s when the northern spotted owls became endangered, which stopped the massive logging. “The environment is the people at large” (49.15)Jim's book, Toward a Natural Forest, expounds his views on managing climate change and meeting natural resource needs by restoring the character of mature and old growth forests. Strategic forest reserves (1.00.34)Alex proposes thinking along the lines of creating executive action for old growth and mature forests' direct mapping, cataloguing and conservation. Measure twice, cut once (1.06.46)Bev discusses her research around carbon stocks in mature and old growth forests. Maturity of different species and fire intensity of the forests impact forest management approaches. Captain Planet (1.17.14)Bev would like to protect species biodiversity and drinking water sources, and prevent extinction on federal lands. “With fire, it's one size does not fit all” (1.20.32) Bev speaks about the considerations in fire and forest management and how fire impacts different types of forests differently. Hold onto the forests and grow more (1.27.25)Jim clarifies that prescribed burning only causes 2-3% of carbon to be lost to the atmosphere but the forest soon recovers and starts sequestering carbon again.

According to the measure of faith. “And Jesus said unto the Centurion, Go thy way; and as you have believed, so be it done unto you. And his servant was healed in the same hour.”Faith's part is to grasp that which appears impossible or strange to human eyes. Let us be willing to be considered fools for Christ's sake (1 Cor. 4:10). Let us not fear to be considered weak-minded in the eyes of the world and of uninformed Christians. In standing on the authority of the Word of God, we believe what others cannot yet admit. Do not, then, let yourself be discouraged in your expectation, even though God might delay in answering you or if your sickness should seem to worsen. Place your feet firmly on the immovable rock of God's own Word. Walk in the authority in which Christ has set us free.

Welcome to Episode 220 of Building My Legacy.In this podcast we talk with Lizzie Horvitz, the founder and CEO of Finch, which helps consumers understand how to find products that are best in function and best for a healthy, just planet. Lizzie's goal is to minimize our footprint at large in the world. She is doing that by working with companies to make sure their products aren't harming our planet and the people on it. Finch scrapes product information that's available across the public domain and turns that information into a score that consumers can use to more easily evaluate the product's sustainability. Whether you're a manufacturer looking to increase the sustainability value of your product or a consumer who wants an easier way to compare products, you'll find Lizzie's message interesting, valuable and extremely informative. So if you want to know:– The criteria Finch uses — and that you should use, too — to measure the sustainability of products– How costs are affected when products become more sustainable– The first steps to enter the sustainability movement– How to get your workforce involved in sustainability efforts– The good and bad effects COVID has had on sustainability About Lizzie HorvitzLizzie Horvitz's passion for addressing climate change with real-world solutions began at the age of 16 when she spent three months living “off the grid” in the Bahamas. There she attended a school that was completely reliant on wind energy and rainwater — long before climate change became such an important topic of discussion. In her words, “I saw the solution before I fully understood the problem.” She founded Finch to help decode sustainability and make “doing better” a more accessible choice for consumers. Finch rates the sustainability of products by using an easy-to-understand system that looks at six critical areas of focus. Before launching Finch, Lizzie served as Chief Operating Officer at Muuse, fighting to stop single-use waste. She has also worked in supply chain and sustainability at Unilever, where she was responsible for integrating the company's Sustainable Living Plan in North America.About Lois Sonstegard, PhDWorking with business leaders for more than 30 years, Lois has learned that successful leaders have a passion to leave a meaningful legacy.

Should Therapists Correct Clients? Curt and Katie chat about whether therapists should correct clients who use offensive language. We look at what we should consider when addressing what clients say (including treatment goals and the relationship), how therapists can take care of themselves to be able to treat clients who hold a different worldview, and how (and when) therapists can address problematic language appropriately. Transcripts for this episode will be available at mtsgpodcast.com! In this podcast episode we talk about whether therapists should call out their clients on words they find inappropriate We decided to address the language that clients use in session and what to do when we find the language offensive or harmful. Should therapists correct clients when they use language we find offensive or harmful? Blank slate or “join your clients” approaches Whether the language should be addressed when it doesn't align with a client's stated treatment goals Showing up as a human and addressing the therapeutic relationship Judgment or shaming that can happen with clients What should therapists consider when addressing what clients say? The relationship between the therapist and client Relevance to clinical goals The impact on trust in the therapeutic alliance The importance of using the client's language to affirm their experience The power differential between therapist and client How can therapists show up with clients who see the world differently than they do? Addressing objectification of therapist's identities Assessing when therapists are centering their own experience versus responding to what is in the room Using the relationship to process client's perspective “I feel like just living in the client's world without honoring my own experience at all doesn't feel quite right. But centering my experience feels wrong.” – Katie Vernoy What can therapists do to appropriately address problematic language with their clients? Process what is being said before correcting specific words Address within the relationship and within the treatment goals Using our own coping skills to be able to navigate what our clients bring to session “I'm very worried that therapists don't have enough of their own coping skills to deal with these things coming up in sessions. Where they feel that they have to shut these clients down for the protection of themselves. You know, their only coping mechanism seems to be – I need to escape working with clients that don't already agree with my worldview.” – Curt Widhalm Where social justice plays a role (and maybe shouldn't) Education and supporting the client's whole development Assessing the impact of these interventions (both positive and negative) Assessing the harm in not pointing out bias or harmful language   Our Generous Sponsors for this episode of the Modern Therapist's Survival Guide: Turning Point Financial Life Planning Turning Point Financial Life Planning helps therapists stop worrying about money.

Two listener questions beg the answer to the best exercise schedule at midlife. So, in this episode, I'll share the answer to both and reflect on the science of frequency and intensity of the variables leading to fitness for women in midlife. To do that I'll define it for you in case you're wondering just what is that? The questions:   00:00 03:48 What is the best exercise schedule for midlife women?   Would working upper body 30 - 45 mins every 96 hours, and lower 30 - 45 mins every 96 hours, be ok since I'm getting at least 72 hours to rest between muscle groups? For example, Monday Upper, Wednesday lower, Friday Upper, Monday Lower, Wednesday upper. 04:24 What's the Best Exercise Schedule at Midlife? Science-Based Women Over 50 Would weight training 2 times and HIIT 2 times per week still apply? (I'm 44)  I'm used to doing a demanding kettlebell workout 3-4 times per week for 15-20 minutes and some sort of daily exercise. I feel fatigued and bloated, especially leading to my cycle, despite a healthy diet making it hard to juggle work, family, and young daughter.  Join the Flipping 50 Insider's Group to ask a question for a podcast or video yourself: https://www.facebook.com/groups/flipping50tv   First, let's define midlife and agree that Nicole at 44 with a 5-year-old, or Nicky or you listening who are in your mid-50s or 60 all qualify as midlife. If you're in that stage of peri which starts in early 40s for most women or post-menopause and still balancing hormones to benefit your muscle, body composition, and bones, you're there.  So, in case you're not Nicole and there's no 5-year-old, stay with me. This will apply to you too. The biggest insight here, is “I feel fatigued and bloated.”  She added, especially before my cycle. 05:52 Exercise that Makes You Tired or Doesn't Help Boost Energy Needs a Change! I'll start with fatigued. The way you feel tells you the results of your collective lifestyle habits. So, let's change them if you're not feeling good. I'd suggest using that and adjusting.  As a coach, whether a woman comes to me already fatigued or becomes fatigued doing a certain protocol, that immediately changes the protocol. So, Nicole, coach yourself. Exercise should make you feel good, strong and enjoy more energy than without it. Since that's not happening for you, make a change.  To comment on the doing a demanding kettlebell workout 3-4 times a week. Though its short 15-20 minutes, it still may not have 2 important features:  Reaching muscular fatigue each set (in major muscle groups)  Allowing adequate recovery between exercise  These are both crucial for exercise that targets the biggest goals we have of optimal strength, lean muscle, optimal body fat, function, and aren't just exercise that makes you tired.  Measure your body composition. Monitor your lean muscle and your body fat percent.  If you're where you want to be, but fatigued and bloated, and like the kettlebell workout I'd suggest you put more rest days between workouts and see what happens. Then over time, use your body composition and muscle mass numbers to inform a need for change or confirm you're doing okay. Last, make a change in your monthly schedule so each week is not the same. 09:00 Questions for Nicole: How's your diet? Your sleep? In midlife, those become more important. A lack of micronutrients or of high-quality protein and whole foods will catch up with you too. Exercise can't help you overcome those.  11:13 Exercise for Your Cycle As for the increased fatigue and bloat before a period, both women who still have a period and those who don't are wise to exercise is in periodization style setup. Exercise for your cycle suggests from the day of your period those two weeks are a time to focus on strength and intensity. That is, plenty of heavy training fatiguing major muscle groups in two workouts a week and doing HIIT 2 or 3 times a week for short 15–20-minute sessions.  In the last two weeks of your cycle, you ease off the intensity and tend more toward higher reps and lighter weights, still reaching fatigue. But in the last week you do more recovery work and based on fatigue you don't “push” through, you may want to take the recovery and do other restorative activities.  10 Day Hot Not Bothered: https://www.flippingfifty.com/hnb-challenge    To review, and summarize the science current for exercise in menopause and for older adults:  Twice weekly strength training              Reaching muscle fatigue in each set             Using 8-10 major muscle groups for total body              Performing at least 2-3 sets of each exercise  Two-three times a week HIIT              No more than 45 minutes a week total HIIT  Movement most days of the week              Catering to personal preferences and personal needs (functional movement)  Adequate recovery between high-intensity exercise   Monitor lean muscle mass and body composition for measures of success.  Other Episodes You May Like:  9 Ways to Measure Fat & Body Composition | Best & Worst: https://www.flippingfifty.com/measure-fat/ TOTAL Body or SPLIT ROUTINE Strength Training in Menopause | #453: https://www.flippingfifty.com/total-body-or-split-routine-453/ Resources Mentioned:  Insiders Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/flipping50tv 10-Day Hot Not Bothered Challenge: https://www.flippingfifty.com/hnb-challenge

Product research is a discipline that's transformed in recent years. The days of waterfall testing are over. Today, research is happening at every stage of a product's life cycle, and there are more tools than ever before to help. But how do product teams stay focused on what truly matters? How do we single out real insights from an outpouring of data? Christian & Meghan unpack their lessons learned about product research and examine how the field has evolved. They'll also explain why research isn't actually about finding answers; it's about limiting uncertainty.    Follow us on LinkedIn and Twitter to see the latest in Better Product, a show part of the Better Product Community powered by Innovatemap. The community is the connection point for product leaders & practitioners to learn and share what it takes to design, build, market, and sell better products. Learn more at betterproduct.community.    Takeaways:  Product research has evolved from a waterfall approach to a continuous approach; research is happening at more stages, and more often.  Research is about limiting uncertainty, and not finding the answer.  It's best to “measure twice to cut once” in product research.    Things To Listen For:    [3:00] Icebreaker: what's your best/worst research paper from school?

Welcome to Day 1906 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Measure Greatness – Daily Wisdom Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1906 of our Trek, and it's time to explore another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote and some wise words from Gramps for today's trek. Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. So we are on a daily trek to create a legacy of wisdom, seek out discernment and insights, and boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend; this is Gramps. Thanks for coming along on today's trek as we increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2016%3A16&version=NLT (Proverbs 16:16)  How much better to get wisdom than gold, and sound judgment than silver!    If you apply the words you hear today, over time, it will help you become more healthy, wealthy, and wise as you continue your daily trek of life. So let's jump right in with today's nugget: Today's quote is from Lou Holtz, and it is: Adversity is another way to measure the greatness of individuals. I never had a crisis that didn't make me stronger. Measure Greatness People usually don't think of measuring greatness by the amount of adversity they or others experience, but it is often the driving force behind any greatness achieved. So while we may not seek out adversity, because that is never pleasant, we should not be overwhelmed by it either. We need to view adversity through the proper lens, that it is a tool or lesson that will mature and refine us, so that we will be stronger. A crisis may seem to cripple us initially, especially if it is unexpected; if we draw our strength on God through the crisis, the crisis will make us stronger. Our strength comes from God, and it is He who will sustain us and make us stronger through the process. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=james+1%3A2-4&version=NLT (James 1:2-4)  Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing. As you ponder this nugget of wisdom for yourself, please encourage your friends and family to join us and come along tomorrow for another day of ‘Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.'

James Mauler was still early in his career when he decided to leave college and take a more hands-on approach with his education. Instead of completing a five-year degree in architecture, Jim realized that he could achieve his professional and financial goals by putting his drafting skills to work on the job. As an example, when computer-aided design (CAD) software was still in its infancy, he was the first person in his firm to volunteer to learn how to use it. This made him a go-to resource in the company, and it gave him the confidence he needed to know that he was on the right track.In the early 1990s, Jim was terminated from the company that he was working for at the time. He describes this as a blessing in disguise because it gave him a compelling reason to start his own company the very next day. Jim has been at the helm of Cadnetics for nearly 30 years, and his business has undergone tremendous growth and transformation during that time. The firm, which is headquartered in Pittsburgh, also has a presence in four other major markets throughout the country. Jim is currently realizing his vision of expanding to 10 cities in 10 years, and you can tell from our conversation that he is having a lot of fun in the process.If you have any questions or if you'd like to chat, you can reach me at my contact info below.

On this Hacks & Wonks week-in-review, Metro News Columnist and Opinion Editor for The News Tribune, Matt Driscoll, co-hosts with Crystal. They begin by diving into the impact of the leaked draft of the Supreme Court opinion to overturn Roe v. Wade, frustration with the response from many elected leaders, more rights that are on the chopping block, and–now more than ever–the importance of local government. The impact of Roe v. Wade being overturned on the LGBTQ+ community sparks a discussion on Pierce County Executive Bruce Dammeier's actions to block pride flags from flying across the county. Crystal and Matt wrap up the show by discussing the harm that the War on Drugs has inflicted for decades and how I-1922, an initiative to replace the failed War on Drugs with proven approaches that address substance use disorder through prevention, outreach, and recovery services, would reduce that harm. As always, a full text transcript of the show is available below and at officialhacksandwonks.com.

My guest this week is Vicki Burke. Vicki has been a campground host in Michigan for 24 years. Not only has she witnessed all the mishaps and mistakes someone can make driving or towing an RV, she's made a few of them herself. She was brave enough to come on the podcast to share, not only her safety tips, but also her own mishaps so we can all learn from them. Show Notes: 1. Weight- Sticker (inside door) a. UVW- Unloaded vehicle weight or Base weight- may sometimes include built in propane weight b. CCC – Cargo capacity weight- weight of anything you will put into the unit from dishes to linens, to chairs, cabinets, crafts, food, your water, propane, batteries, etc. With Motor homes this also includes passengers and pets c. GVW- Gross Vehicle weight The total weight of your vehicle plus cargo d. Tongue weight or hitch weight- The pressure on your vehicle. This has to do with how much weight you can put into or onto your tow vehicle. Payload capacity of your truck in case of 5th wheel. 2. Wheelbase of your tow vehicle a. Measure center of front wheel to center of rear wheels b. Rule- 110 inch wheel base can pull up to 20 foot trailer. One more foot for every 4 inches above 110. c. Backward under 110 then it's 5.25 inches. (I go 6 inches) so for 104 inch wheel base 19 foot max. For 98 inch wheel base then 18 foot.

I believe that people of all industry levels, personality types, and personal or professional backgrounds and experiences can be great leaders, and that they can lead quite differently from one another and still be successful. But I also believe that the highest level leaders have a few qualities in common, on of which has to be integrity.  To be trusted and followed as a leader, you must excel in three key areas.  These three key areas are what separate leaders from influencers, managers, dictators and any other position that might be mistaken for being a true leader.  This episode goes into the 3 key ways to measure leadership, and how you can begin to develop your leadership skills.  Don't miss the FREE workshop IMPACT + INFLUENCE - designed to elevate your charisma, communication ability, and leadership to have a greater IMPACT + INFLUENCE in the lives of those you serve.

3 Easter First Psalm: Psalm 26; Psalm 28 Psalm 26 (Listen) I Will Bless the Lord Of David. 26   Vindicate me, O LORD,    for I have walked in my integrity,    and I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.2   Prove me, O LORD, and try me;    test my heart and my mind.13   For your steadfast love is before my eyes,    and I walk in your faithfulness. 4   I do not sit with men of falsehood,    nor do I consort with hypocrites.5   I hate the assembly of evildoers,    and I will not sit with the wicked. 6   I wash my hands in innocence    and go around your altar, O LORD,7   proclaiming thanksgiving aloud,    and telling all your wondrous deeds. 8   O LORD, I love the habitation of your house    and the place where your glory dwells.9   Do not sweep my soul away with sinners,    nor my life with bloodthirsty men,10   in whose hands are evil devices,    and whose right hands are full of bribes. 11   But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity;    redeem me, and be gracious to me.12   My foot stands on level ground;    in the great assembly I will bless the LORD.

There Israel encamped before the mountain, 3 while Moses went up to God. The LORD called to him out of the mountain, saying, “Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the people of Israel: 4 ‘You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself. 5 Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession among all peoples, for all the earth is mine; 6 and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.' These are the words that you shall speak to the people of Israel.” 7 So Moses came and called the elders of the people and set before them all these words that the LORD had commanded him. 8 All the people answered together and said, “All that the LORD has spoken we will do.” And Moses reported the words of the people to the LORD. 9 And the LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I am coming to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and may also believe you forever.” When Moses told the words of the people to the LORD, 10 the LORD said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments 11 and be ready for the third day. For on the third day the LORD will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people. 12 And you shall set limits for the people all around, saying, ‘Take care not to go up into the mountain or touch the edge of it. Whoever touches the mountain shall be put to death. 13 No hand shall touch him, but he shall be stoned or shot;1 whether beast or man, he shall not live.' When the trumpet sounds a long blast, they shall come up to the mountain.” 14 So Moses went down from the mountain to the people and consecrated the people; and they washed their garments. 15 And he said to the people, “Be ready for the third day; do not go near a woman.” 16 On the morning of the third day there were thunders and lightnings and a thick cloud on the mountain and a very loud trumpet blast, so that all the people in the camp trembled.

Thanksgiving and Prayer 3 We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, 4 since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love that you have for all the saints, 5 because of the hope laid up for you in heaven. Of this you have heard before in the word of the truth, the gospel, 6 which has come to you, as indeed in the whole world it is bearing fruit and increasing—as it also does among you, since the day you heard it and understood the grace of God in truth, 7 just as you learned it from Epaphras our beloved fellow servant.2 He is a faithful minister of Christ on your3 behalf 8 and has made known to us your love in the Spirit. 9 And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, 10 so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11 being strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy; 12 giving thanks4 to the Father, who has qualified you5 to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. 13 He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 11 “I baptize you with water for repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 12 His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor and gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.” (ESV)

As the Budget creeps closer, Grant Robertson has unveiled a new set of rules governing how he and future Finance Ministers can divvy out funds. A new debt cap, a new way of measuring debt, and a surplus rule will all have a big influence on the future of government spending. Here's political reporter Giles Dexter.

With family: Numbers 5; Psalm 39 Numbers 5 (Listen) Unclean People 5 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Command the people of Israel that they put out of the camp everyone who is leprous1 or has a discharge and everyone who is unclean through contact with the dead. 3 You shall put out both male and female, putting them outside the camp, that they may not defile their camp, in the midst of which I dwell.” 4 And the people of Israel did so, and put them outside the camp; as the LORD said to Moses, so the people of Israel did. Confession and Restitution 5 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 6 “Speak to the people of Israel, When a man or woman commits any of the sins that people commit by breaking faith with the LORD, and that person realizes his guilt, 7 he shall confess his sin that he has committed.2 And he shall make full restitution for his wrong, adding a fifth to it and giving it to him to whom he did the wrong. 8 But if the man has no next of kin to whom restitution may be made for the wrong, the restitution for wrong shall go to the LORD for the priest, in addition to the ram of atonement with which atonement is made for him. 9 And every contribution, all the holy donations of the people of Israel, which they bring to the priest, shall be his. 10 Each one shall keep his holy donations: whatever anyone gives to the priest shall be his.” A Test for Adultery 11 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 12 “Speak to the people of Israel, If any man's wife goes astray and breaks faith with him, 13 if a man lies with her sexually, and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband, and she is undetected though she has defiled herself, and there is no witness against her, since she was not taken in the act, 14 and if the spirit of jealousy comes over him and he is jealous of his wife who has defiled herself, or if the spirit of jealousy comes over him and he is jealous of his wife, though she has not defiled herself, 15 then the man shall bring his wife to the priest and bring the offering required of her, a tenth of an ephah3 of barley flour. He shall pour no oil on it and put no frankincense on it, for it is a grain offering of jealousy, a grain offering of remembrance, bringing iniquity to remembrance. 16 “And the priest shall bring her near and set her before the LORD. 17 And the priest shall take holy water in an earthenware vessel and take some of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle and put it into the water. 18 And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD and unbind the hair of the woman's head and place in her hands the grain offering of remembrance, which is the grain offering of jealousy. And in his hand the priest shall have the water of bitterness that brings the curse. 19 Then the priest shall make her take an oath, saying, ‘If no man has lain with you, and if you have not turned aside to uncleanness while you were under your husband's authority, be free from this water of bitterness that brings the curse. 20 But if you have gone astray, though you are under your husband's authority, and if you have defiled yourself, and some man other than your husband has lain with you, 21 then' (let the priest make the woman take the oath of the curse, and say to the woman) ‘the LORD make you a curse and an oath among your people, when the LORD makes your thigh fall away and your body swell. 22 May this water that brings the curse pass into your bowels and make your womb swell and your thigh fall away.' And the woman shall say, ‘Amen, Amen.' 23 “Then the priest shall write these curses in a book and wash them off into the water of bitterness. 24 And he shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that brings the curse, and the water that brings the curse shall enter into her and cause bitter pain. 25 And the priest shall take the grain offering of jealousy out of the woman's hand and shall wave the grain offering before the LORD and bring it to the altar. 26 And the priest shall take a handful of the grain offering, as its memorial portion, and burn it on the altar, and afterward shall make the woman drink the water. 27 And when he has made her drink the water, then, if she has defiled herself and has broken faith with her husband, the water that brings the curse shall enter into her and cause bitter pain, and her womb shall swell, and her thigh shall fall away, and the woman shall become a curse among her people. 28 But if the woman has not defiled herself and is clean, then she shall be free and shall conceive children. 29 “This is the law in cases of jealousy, when a wife, though under her husband's authority, goes astray and defiles herself, 30 or when the spirit of jealousy comes over a man and he is jealous of his wife. Then he shall set the woman before the LORD, and the priest shall carry out for her all this law. 31 The man shall be free from iniquity, but the woman shall bear her iniquity.” Footnotes [1] 5:2 Leprosy was a term for several skin diseases; see Leviticus 13 [2] 5:7 Hebrew they shall confess their sin that they have committed [3] 5:15 An ephah was about 3/5 bushel or 22 liters (ESV) Psalm 39 (Listen) What Is the Measure of My Days? To the choirmaster: to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. 39   I said, “I will guard my ways,    that I may not sin with my tongue;  I will guard my mouth with a muzzle,    so long as the wicked are in my presence.”2   I was mute and silent;    I held my peace to no avail,  and my distress grew worse.3     My heart became hot within me.  As I mused, the fire burned;    then I spoke with my tongue: 4   “O LORD, make me know my end    and what is the measure of my days;    let me know how fleeting I am!5   Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths,    and my lifetime is as nothing before you.  Surely all mankind stands as a mere breath! Selah6     Surely a man goes about as a shadow!  Surely for nothing1 they are in turmoil;    man heaps up wealth and does not know who will gather! 7   “And now, O Lord, for what do I wait?    My hope is in you.8   Deliver me from all my transgressions.    Do not make me the scorn of the fool!9   I am mute; I do not open my mouth,    for it is you who have done it.10   Remove your stroke from me;    I am spent by the hostility of your hand.11   When you discipline a man    with rebukes for sin,  you consume like a moth what is dear to him;    surely all mankind is a mere breath!

Solomon Arrives for the Wedding 6   What is that coming up from the wilderness    like columns of smoke,  perfumed with myrrh and frankincense,    with all the fragrant powders of a merchant?7   Behold, it is the litter1 of Solomon!  Around it are sixty mighty men,    some of the mighty men of Israel,8   all of them wearing swords    and expert in war,  each with his sword at his thigh,    against terror by night.9   King Solomon made himself a carriage2    from the wood of Lebanon.10   He made its posts of silver,    its back of gold, its seat of purple;  its interior was inlaid with love    by the daughters of Jerusalem.11   Go out, O daughters of Zion,    and look upon King Solomon,  with the crown with which his mother crowned him    on the day of his wedding,    on the day of the gladness of his heart. Footnotes [1] 3:7 That is, the couch on which servants carry a king [2] 3:9 Or sedan chair (ESV) Hebrews 3 (Listen) Jesus Greater Than Moses 3 Therefore, holy brothers,1 you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession, 2 who was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in all God's2 house. 3 For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself. 4 (For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.) 5 Now Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later, 6 but Christ is faithful over God's house as a son. And we are his house, if indeed we hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope.3 A Rest for the People of God 7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says,   “Today, if you hear his voice,8   do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,    on the day of testing in the wilderness,9   where your fathers put me to the test    and saw my works for forty years.10   Therefore I was provoked with that generation,  and said, ‘They always go astray in their heart;    they have not known my ways.'11   As I swore in my wrath,    ‘They shall not enter my rest.'” 12 Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. 13 But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end. 15 As it is said,   “Today, if you hear his voice,  do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.” 16 For who were those who heard and yet rebelled? Was it not all those who left Egypt led by Moses? 17 And with whom was he provoked for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom did he swear that they would not enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient? 19 So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief.
