22:1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

22:2 Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, which they hallow unto me, and that they profane not my holy name: I am Jehovah.

22:3 Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your seed throughout your generations, that approacheth unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto Jehovah, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from before me: I am Jehovah.

22:4 What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath an issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him;

22:5 or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath;

22:6 the soul that toucheth any such shall be unclean until the even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he bathe his flesh in water.

22:7 And when the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.

22:8 That which dieth of itself, or is torn of beasts, he shall not eat, to defile himself therewith:—I am Jehovah.

22:9 They shall therefore keep my charge, lest they bear sin for it, and die therein, if they profane it: I am Jehovah who sanctifieth them.

22:10 There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest’s, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.

22:11 But if a priest buy any soul, the purchase of his money, he shall eat of it; and such as are born in his house, they shall eat of his bread.

22:12 And if a priest’s daughter be married unto a stranger, she shall not eat of the heave-offering of the holy things.

22:13 But if a priest’s daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and be returned unto her father’s house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father’s bread: but there shall no stranger eat thereof.

22:14 And if a man eat of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give unto the priest the holy thing.

22:15 And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto Jehovah,

22:16 and so cause them to bear the iniquity that bringeth guilt, when they eat their holy things: for I am Jehovah who sanctifieth them.

22:17 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

22:18 Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, Whosoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, that offereth his oblation, whether it be any of their vows, or any of their freewill-offerings, which they offer unto Jehovah for a burnt-offering;

22:19 that ye may be accepted, ye shall offer a male without blemish, of the bullocks, of the sheep, or of the goats.

22:20 But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.

22:21 And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace-offerings unto Jehovah to accomplish a vow, or for a freewill-offering, of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein.

22:22 Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye shall not offer these unto Jehovah, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto Jehovah.

22:23 Either a bullock or a lamb that hath anything superfluous or lacking in his parts, that mayest thou offer for a freewill-offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.

22:24 That which hath its stones bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut, ye shall not offer unto Jehovah; neither shall ye do thus in your land.

22:25 Neither from the hand of a foreigner shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of these; because their corruption is in them, there is a blemish in them: they shall not be accepted for you.

22:26 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

22:27 When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for the oblation of an offering made by fire unto Jehovah.

22:28 And whether it be cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and its young both in one day.

22:29 And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto Jehovah, ye shall sacrifice it that ye may be accepted.

22:30 On the same day it shall be eaten; ye shall leave none of it until the morning: I am Jehovah.

22:31 Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am Jehovah.

22:32 And ye shall not profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am Jehovah who halloweth you,

22:33 who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Jehovah.

78:1 Maschil of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my law: Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

78:2 I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old,

78:3 Which we have heard and known, And our fathers have told us.

78:4 We will not hide them from their children, Telling to the generation to come the praises of Jehovah, And his strength, and his wondrous works that he hath done.

78:5 For he established a testimony in Jacob, And appointed a law in Israel, Which he commanded our fathers, That they should make them known to their children;

78:6 That the generation to come might know them, even the children that should be born; Who should arise and tell them to their children,

78:7 That they might set their hope in God, And not forget the works of God, But keep his commandments,

78:8 And might not be as their fathers, A stubborn and rebellious generation, A generation that set not their heart aright, And whose spirit was not stedfast with God.

78:9 The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, Turned back in the day of battle.

78:10 They kept not the covenant of God, And refused to walk in his law;

78:11 And they forgat his doings, And his wondrous works that he had showed them.

78:12 Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, In the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.

78:13 He clave the sea, and caused them to pass through; And he made the waters to stand as a heap.

78:14 In the day-time also he led them with a cloud, And all the night with a light of fire.

78:15 He clave rocks in the wilderness, And gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths.

78:16 He brought streams also out of the rock, And caused waters to run down like rivers.

78:17 Yet went they on still to sin against him, To rebel against the Most High in the desert.

78:18 And they tempted God in their heart By asking food according to their desire.

78:19 Yea, they spake against God; They said, Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

78:20 Behold, he smote the rock, so that waters gushed out, And streams overflowed; Can he give bread also? Will he provide flesh for his people?

78:21 Therefore Jehovah heard, and was wroth; And a fire was kindled against Jacob, And anger also went up against Israel;

78:22 Because they believed not in God, And trusted not in his salvation.

78:23 Yet he commanded the skies above, And opened the doors of heaven;

78:24 And he rained down manna upon them to eat, And gave them food from heaven.

78:25 Man did eat the bread of the mighty: He sent them food to the full.

78:26 He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens; And by his power he guided the south wind.

78:27 He rained flesh also upon them as the dust, And winged birds as the sand of the seas:

78:28 And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, Round about their habitations.

78:29 So they did eat, and were well filled; And he gave them their own desire.

78:30 They were not estranged from that which they desired, Their food was yet in their mouths,

78:31 When the anger of God went up against them, And slew of the fattest of them, And smote down the young men of Israel.

10:13 And they were bringing unto him little children, that he should touch them: and the disciples rebuked them.

10:14 But when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me; forbid them not: for to such belongeth the kingdom of God.

10:15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall in no wise enter therein.

10:16 And he took them in his arms, and blessed them, laying his hands upon them.

10:17 And as he was going forth into the way, there ran one to him, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

10:18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good save one, even God.

10:19 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not kill, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor thy father and mother.

10:20 And he said unto him, Teacher, all these things have I observed from my youth.

10:21 And Jesus looking upon him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

10:22 But his countenance fell at the saying, and he went away sorrowful: for he was one that had great possessions.

10:23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

10:24 And the disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!

10:25 It is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

10:26 And they were astonished exceedingly, saying unto him, Then who can be saved?

10:27 Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for all things are possible with God.

10:28 Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.

10:29 Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or lands, for my sake, and for the gospel’s sake,

10:30 but he shall receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.

10:31 But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.
