7:1 “‘This is the law of the trespass offering. It is most holy.

7:2 In the place where they kill the burnt offering, he shall kill the trespass offering; and its blood he shall sprinkle around on the altar.

7:3 He shall offer all of its fat: the fat tail, and the fat that covers the innards,

7:4 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, shall he take away;

7:5 and the priest shall burn them on the altar for an offering made by fire to Yahweh: it is a trespass offering.

7:6 Every male among the priests may eat of it. It shall be eaten in a holy place. It is most holy.

7:7 “‘As is the sin offering, so is the trespass offering; there is one law for them. The priest who makes atonement with them shall have it.

7:8 The priest who offers any man’s burnt offering, even the priest shall have for himself the skin of the burnt offering which he has offered.

7:9 Every meal offering that is baked in the oven, and all that is dressed in the pan, and on the griddle, shall be the priest’s who offers it.

7:10 Every meal offering, mixed with oil or dry, belongs to all the sons of Aaron, one as well as another.

7:11 “‘This is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which one shall offer to Yahweh.

7:12 If he offers it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mixed with oil.

7:13 With cakes of leavened bread he shall offer his offering with the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving.

7:14 Of it he shall offer one out of each offering for a heave offering to Yahweh. It shall be the priest’s who sprinkles the blood of the peace offerings.

7:15 The flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten on the day of his offering. He shall not leave any of it until the morning.

7:16 “‘But if the sacrifice of his offering is a vow, or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day that he offers his sacrifice; and on the next day what remains of it shall be eaten:

7:17 but what remains of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burned with fire.

7:18 If any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed to him who offers it. It will be an abomination, and the soul who eats any of it will bear his iniquity.

7:19 “‘The flesh that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten. It shall be burned with fire. As for the flesh, everyone who is clean may eat it;

7:20 but the soul who eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, that belongs to Yahweh, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from his people.

7:21 When anyone touches any unclean thing, the uncleanness of man, or an unclean animal, or any unclean abomination, and eats some of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which belong to Yahweh, that soul shall be cut off from his people.’”

7:22 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

7:23 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘You shall eat no fat, of bull, or sheep, or goat.

7:24 The fat of that which dies of itself, and the fat of that which is torn of animals, may be used for any other service, but you shall in no way eat of it.

7:25 For whoever eats the fat of the animal, of which men offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh, even the soul who eats it shall be cut off from his people.

7:26 You shall not eat any blood, whether it is of bird or of animal, in any of your dwellings.

7:27 Whoever it is who eats any blood, that soul shall be cut off from his people.’”

7:28 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

7:29 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘He who offers the sacrifice of his peace offerings to Yahweh shall bring his offering to Yahweh out of the sacrifice of his peace offerings.

7:30 With his own hands he shall bring the offerings of Yahweh made by fire. He shall bring the fat with the breast, that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before Yahweh.

7:31 The priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast shall be Aaron’s and his sons’.

7:32 The right thigh you shall give to the priest for a heave offering out of the sacrifices of your peace offerings.

7:33 He among the sons of Aaron who offers the blood of the peace offerings, and the fat, shall have the right thigh for a portion.

7:34 For the waved breast and the heaved thigh I have taken from the children of Israel out of the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as their portion forever from the children of Israel.’”

7:35 This is the anointing portion of Aaron, and the anointing portion of his sons, out of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire, in the day when he presented them to minister to Yahweh in the priest’s office;

7:36 which Yahweh commanded to be given them of the children of Israel, in the day that he anointed them. It is their portion forever throughout their generations.

7:37 This is the law of the burnt offering, of the meal offering, and of the sin offering, and of the trespass offering, and of the consecration, and of the sacrifice of peace offerings;

7:38 which Yahweh commanded Moses in Mount Sinai, in the day that he commanded the children of Israel to offer their offerings to Yahweh, in the wilderness of Sinai.

72:1 By Solomon. God, give the king your justice; your righteousness to the royal son.

72:2 He will judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with justice.

72:3 The mountains shall bring prosperity to the people. The hills bring the fruit of righteousness.

72:4 He will judge the poor of the people. He will save the children of the needy, and will break the oppressor in pieces.

72:5 They shall fear you while the sun endures; and as long as the moon, throughout all generations.

72:6 He will come down like rain on the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.

72:7 In his days, the righteous shall flourish, and abundance of peace, until the moon is no more.

72:8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, from the River to the ends of the earth.

72:9 Those who dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him. His enemies shall lick the dust.

72:10 The kings of Tarshish and of the islands will bring tribute. The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.

72:11 Yes, all kings shall fall down before him. All nations shall serve him.

6:7 He called to himself the twelve, and began to send them out two by two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits.

6:8 He commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, except a staff only: no bread, no wallet, no money in their purse,

6:9 but to wear sandals, and not put on two tunics.

6:10 He said to them, “Wherever you enter into a house, stay there until you depart from there.

6:11 Whoever will not receive you nor hear you, as you depart from there, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony against them. Assuredly, I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!”

6:12 They went out and preached that people should repent.

6:13 They cast out many demons, and anointed many with oil who were sick, and healed them.

6:14 King Herod heard this, for his name had become known, and he said, “John the Baptizer has risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him.”

6:15 But others said, “He is Elijah.” Others said, “He is a prophet, or like one of the prophets.”

6:16 But Herod, when he heard this, said, “This is John, whom I beheaded. He has risen from the dead.”

6:17 For Herod himself had sent out and arrested John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, for he had married her.

6:18 For John said to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”

6:19 Herodias set herself against him, and desired to kill him, but she couldn’t,

6:20 for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. When he heard him, he did many things, and he heard him gladly.

6:21 Then a convenient day came, that Herod on his birthday made a supper for his nobles, the high officers, and the chief men of Galilee.

6:22 When the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those sitting with him. The king said to the young lady, “Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you.”

6:23 He swore to her, “Whatever you shall ask of me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom.”

6:24 She went out, and said to her mother, “What shall I ask?” She said, “The head of John the Baptizer.”

6:25 She came in immediately with haste to the king, and asked, “I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptizer on a platter.”

6:26 The king was exceedingly sorry, but for the sake of his oaths, and of his dinner guests, he didn’t wish to refuse her.

6:27 Immediately the king sent out a soldier of his guard, and commanded to bring John’s head, and he went and beheaded him in the prison,

6:28 and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the young lady; and the young lady gave it to her mother.

6:29 When his disciples heard this, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.
