29:1 “This is the thing that you shall do to them to make them holy, to minister to me in the priest’s office: take one young bull and two rams without blemish,

29:2 unleavened bread, unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil: you shall make them of fine wheat flour.

29:3 You shall put them into one basket, and bring them in the basket, with the bull and the two rams.

29:4 You shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and shall wash them with water.

29:5 You shall take the garments, and put on Aaron the coat, the robe of the ephod, the ephod, and the breastplate, and clothe him with the skillfully woven band of the ephod;

29:6 and you shall set the turban on his head, and put the holy crown on the turban.

29:7 Then you shall take the anointing oil, and pour it on his head, and anoint him.

29:8 You shall bring his sons, and put coats on them.

29:9 You shall clothe them with belts, Aaron and his sons, and bind headbands on them: and they shall have the priesthood by a perpetual statute: and you shall consecrate Aaron and his sons.

29:10 “You shall bring the bull before the Tent of Meeting: and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the bull.

29:11 You shall kill the bull before Yahweh, at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

29:12 You shall take of the blood of the bull, and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger; and you shall pour out all the blood at the base of the altar.

29:13 You shall take all the fat that covers the innards, the cover of the liver, the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, and burn them on the altar.

29:14 But the flesh of the bull, and its skin, and its dung, you shall burn with fire outside of the camp: it is a sin offering.

29:15 “You shall also take the one ram; and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram.

29:16 You shall kill the ram, and you shall take its blood, and sprinkle it around on the altar.

29:17 You shall cut the ram into its pieces, and wash its innards, and its legs, and put them with its pieces, and with its head.

29:18 You shall burn the whole ram on the altar: it is a burnt offering to Yahweh; it is a pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

29:19 “You shall take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram.

29:20 Then you shall kill the ram, and take some of its blood, and put it on the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and on the tip of the right ear of his sons, and on the thumb of their right hand, and on the big toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood around on the altar.

29:21 You shall take of the blood that is on the altar, and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it on Aaron, and on his garments, and on his sons, and on the garments of his sons with him: and he shall be made holy, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons’ garments with him.

29:22 Also you shall take some of the ram’s fat, the fat tail, the fat that covers the innards, the cover of the liver, the two kidneys, the fat that is on them, and the right thigh (for it is a ram of consecration),

29:23 and one loaf of bread, one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer out of the basket of unleavened bread that is before Yahweh.

29:24 You shall put all of this in Aaron’s hands, and in his sons’ hands, and shall wave them for a wave offering before Yahweh.

29:25 You shall take them from their hands, and burn them on the altar on the burnt offering, for a pleasant aroma before Yahweh: it is an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

29:26 “You shall take the breast of Aaron’s ram of consecration, and wave it for a wave offering before Yahweh: and it shall be your portion.

29:27 You shall sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the thigh of the wave offering, which is waved, and which is heaved up, of the ram of consecration, even of that which is for Aaron, and of that which is for his sons:

29:28 and it shall be for Aaron and his sons as their portion forever from the children of Israel; for it is a wave offering: and it shall be a wave offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifices of their peace offerings, even their wave offering to Yahweh.

29:29 “The holy garments of Aaron shall be for his sons after him, to be anointed in them, and to be consecrated in them.

29:30 Seven days shall the son who is priest in his place put them on, when he comes into the Tent of Meeting to minister in the holy place.

29:31 “You shall take the ram of consecration, and boil its flesh in a holy place.

29:32 Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket, at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

29:33 They shall eat those things with which atonement was made, to consecrate and sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat of it, because they are holy.

29:34 If anything of the flesh of the consecration, or of the bread, remains to the morning, then you shall burn the remainder with fire: it shall not be eaten, because it is holy.

29:35 “You shall do so to Aaron, and to his sons, according to all that I have commanded you. You shall consecrate them seven days.

29:36 Every day you shall offer the bull of sin offering for atonement: and you shall cleanse the altar, when you make atonement for it; and you shall anoint it, to sanctify it.

29:37 Seven days you shall make atonement for the altar, and sanctify it: and the altar shall be most holy; whatever touches the altar shall be holy.

29:38 “Now this is that which you shall offer on the altar: two lambs a year old day by day continually.

29:39 The one lamb you shall offer in the morning; and the other lamb you shall offer at evening:

29:40 and with the one lamb a tenth part of an ephah of fine flour mixed with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil, and the fourth part of a hin of wine for a drink offering.

29:41 The other lamb you shall offer at evening, and shall do to it according to the meal offering of the morning, and according to its drink offering, for a pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

29:42 It shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the Tent of Meeting before Yahweh, where I will meet with you, to speak there to you.

29:43 There I will meet with the children of Israel; and the place shall be sanctified by my glory.

29:44 I will sanctify the Tent of Meeting and the altar: Aaron also and his sons I will sanctify, to minister to me in the priest’s office.

29:45 I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God.

29:46 They shall know that I am Yahweh their God, who brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I might dwell among them: I am Yahweh their God.

64:1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. Hear my voice, God, in my complaint. Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

64:2 Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;

64:3 who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and aim their arrows, deadly words,

64:4 to shoot innocent men from ambushes. They shoot at him suddenly and fearlessly.

64:5 They encourage themselves in evil plans. They talk about laying snares secretly. They say, “Who will see them?”

64:6 They plot injustice, saying, “We have made a perfect plan!” Surely man’s mind and heart are cunning.

64:7 But God will shoot at them. They will be suddenly struck down with an arrow.

64:8 Their own tongues shall ruin them. All who see them will shake their heads.

64:9 All mankind shall be afraid. They shall declare the work of God, and shall wisely ponder what he has done.

64:10 The righteous shall be glad in Yahweh, and shall take refuge in him. All the upright in heart shall praise him!

1:29 Immediately, when they had come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

1:30 Now Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told him about her.

1:31 He came and took her by the hand, and raised her up. The fever left her, and she served them.

1:32 At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all who were sick, and those who were possessed by demons.

1:33 All the city was gathered together at the door.

1:34 He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons. He didn’t allow the demons to speak, because they knew him.

1:35 Early in the morning, while it was still dark, he rose up and went out, and departed into a deserted place, and prayed there.

1:36 Simon and those who were with him followed after him;

1:37 and they found him, and told him, “Everyone is looking for you.”

1:38 He said to them, “Let’s go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also, because I came out for this reason.”

1:39 He went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons.

1:40 A leper came to him, begging him, kneeling down to him, and saying to him, “If you want to, you can make me clean.”

1:41 Being moved with compassion, he stretched out his hand, and touched him, and said to him, “I want to. Be made clean.”

1:42 When he had said this, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean.

1:43 He strictly warned him, and immediately sent him out,

1:44 and said to him, “See you say nothing to anybody, but go show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.”

1:45 But he went out, and began to proclaim it much, and to spread about the matter, so that Jesus could no more openly enter into a city, but was outside in desert places: and they came to him from everywhere.
