17:1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

17:2 Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them: This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded, saying,

17:3 What man soever there be of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that killeth it without the camp,

17:4 and hath not brought it unto the door of the tent of meeting, to offer it as an oblation unto Jehovah before the tabernacle of Jehovah: blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people:

17:5 to the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they sacrifice in the open field, even that they may bring them unto Jehovah, unto the door of the tent of meeting, unto the priest, and sacrifice them for sacrifices of peace-offerings unto Jehovah.

17:6 And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of Jehovah at the door of the tent of meeting, and burn the fat for a sweet savor unto Jehovah.

17:7 And they shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices unto the he-goats, after which they play the harlot. This shall be a statute forever unto them throughout their generations.

17:8 And thou shalt say unto them, Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, that offereth a burnt-offering or sacrifice,

17:9 and bringeth it not unto the door of the tent of meeting, to sacrifice it unto Jehovah; that man shall be cut off from his people.

17:10 And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, that eateth any manner of blood, I will set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people.

17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh atonement by reason of the life.

17:12 Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood.

17:13 And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, who taketh in hunting any beast or bird that may be eaten; he shall pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust.

17:14 For as to the life of all flesh, the blood thereof is all one with the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh; for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.

17:15 And every soul that eateth that which dieth of itself, or that which is torn of beasts, whether he be home-born or a sojourner, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even: then shall he be clean.

17:16 But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his iniquity.

18:1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

18:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am Jehovah your God.

18:3 After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do; neither shall ye walk in their statutes.

18:4 Mine ordinances shall ye do, and my statutes shall ye keep, to walk therein: I am Jehovah your God.

18:5 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and mine ordinances; which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am Jehovah.

18:6 None of you shall approach to any that are near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am Jehovah.

18:7 The nakedness of thy father, even the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.

18:8 The nakedness of thy father’s wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father’s nakedness.

18:9 The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or the daughter of thy mother, whether born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.

18:10 The nakedness of thy son’s daughter, or of thy daughter’s daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs is thine own nakedness.

18:11 The nakedness of thy father’s wife’s daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.

18:12 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s sister: she is thy father’s near kinswoman.

18:13 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother’s sister: for she is thy mother’s near kinswoman.

18:14 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt.

18:15 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter-in-law: she is thy son’s wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.

18:16 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother’s wife: it is thy brother’s nakedness.

18:17 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter; thou shalt not take her son’s daughter, or her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness; they are near kinswomen: it is wickedness.

18:18 And thou shalt not take a wife to her sister, to be a rival to her, to uncover her nakedness, besides the other in her life-time.

18:19 And thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is impure by her uncleanness.

18:20 And thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbor’s wife, to defile thyself with her.

18:21 And thou shalt not give any of thy seed to make them pass through the fire to Molech; neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am Jehovah.

18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

18:23 And thou shalt not lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith; neither shall any woman stand before a beast, to lie down thereto: it is confusion.

18:24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out from before you;

18:25 and the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land vomiteth out her inhabitants.

18:26 Ye therefore shall keep my statutes and mine ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the home-born, nor the stranger that sojourneth among you;

18:27 (for all these abominations have the men of the land done, that were before you, and the land is defiled);

18:28 that the land vomit not you out also, when ye defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.

18:29 For whosoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from among their people.

18:30 Therefore shall ye keep my charge, that ye practise not any of these abominable customs, which were practised before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am Jehovah your God.

76:1 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song. In Judah is God known: His name is great in Israel.

76:2 In Salem also is his tabernacle, And his dwelling-place in Zion.

76:3 There he brake the arrows of the bow; The shield, and the sword, and the battle. [Selah

76:4 Glorious art thou and excellent, From the mountains of prey.

76:5 The stouthearted are made a spoil, They have slept their sleep; And none of the men of might have found their hands.

76:6 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both chariot and horse are cast into a deep sleep.

76:7 Thou, even thou, art to be feared; And who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?

76:8 Thou didst cause sentence to be heard from heaven; The earth feared, and was still,

76:9 When God arose to judgment, To save all the meek of the earth.[Selah

76:10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: The residue of wrath shalt thou gird upon thee.

76:11 Vow, and pay unto Jehovah your God: Let all that are round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.

76:12 He will cut off the spirit of princes: He is terrible to the kings of the earth.

9:1 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There are some here of them that stand by, who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God come with power.

9:2 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them;

9:3 and his garments became glistering, exceeding white, so as no fuller on earth can whiten them.

9:4 And there appeared unto them Elijah with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.

9:5 And Peter answereth and saith to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.

9:6 For he knew not what to answer; for they became sore afraid.

9:7 And there came a cloud overshadowing them: and there came a voice out of the cloud, This is my beloved Son: hear ye him.

9:8 And suddenly looking round about, they saw no one any more, save Jesus only with themselves.

9:9 And as they were coming down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, save when the Son of man should have risen again from the dead.

9:10 And they kept the saying, questioning among themselves what the rising again from the dead should mean.

9:11 And they asked him, saying, How is it that the scribes say that Elijah must first come?

9:12 And he said unto them, Elijah indeed cometh first, and restoreth all things: and how is it written of the Son of man, that he should suffer many things and be set at nought?

9:13 But I say unto you, that Elijah is come, and they have also done unto him whatsoever they would, even as it is written of him.

9:14 And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great multitude about them, and scribes questioning with them.

9:15 And straightway all the multitude, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.

9:16 And he asked them, What question ye with them?

9:17 And one of the multitude answered him, Teacher, I brought unto thee my son, who hath a dumb spirit;

9:18 and wheresoever it taketh him, it dasheth him down: and he foameth, and grindeth his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast it out; and they were not able.

9:19 And he answereth them and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him unto me.

9:20 And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him grievously; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.

9:21 And he asked his father, How long time is it since this hath come unto him? And he said, From a child.

9:22 And oft-times it hath cast him both into the fire and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do anything, have compassion on us, and help us.

9:23 And Jesus said unto him, If thou canst! All things are possible to him that believeth.

9:24 Straightway the father of the child cried out, and said, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.

9:25 And when Jesus saw that a multitude came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.

9:26 And having cried out, and torn him much, he came out: and the boy became as one dead; insomuch that the more part said, He is dead.

9:27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and raised him up; and he arose.

9:28 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, How is it that we could not cast it out?

9:29 And he said unto them, This kind can come out by nothing, save by prayer.
