28:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

28:2 “Command the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘My offering, my food for my offerings made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to me, you shall observe to offer to me in their due season.’

28:3 You shall tell them, ‘This is the offering made by fire which you shall offer to Yahweh: male lambs a year old without blemish, two day by day, for a continual burnt offering.

28:4 You shall offer the one lamb in the morning, and you shall offer the other lamb at evening;

28:5 with the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meal offering, mixed with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil.

28:6 It is a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in Mount Sinai for a pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

28:7 Its drink offering shall be the fourth part of a hin for the one lamb. You shall pour out a drink offering of strong drink to Yahweh in the holy place.

28:8 The other lamb you shall offer at evening: as the meal offering of the morning, and as the drink offering of it, you shall offer it, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.

28:9 “‘On the Sabbath day two male lambs a year old without blemish, and two tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour for a meal offering, mixed with oil, and the drink offering of it:

28:10 this is the burnt offering of every Sabbath, besides the continual burnt offering, and the drink offering of it.

28:11 “‘In the beginnings of your months you shall offer a burnt offering to Yahweh: two young bulls, and one ram, seven male lambs a year old without blemish;

28:12 and three tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour for a meal offering, mixed with oil, for each bull; and two tenth parts of fine flour for a meal offering, mixed with oil, for the one ram;

28:13 and a tenth part of fine flour mixed with oil for a meal offering to every lamb; for a burnt offering of a pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

28:14 Their drink offerings shall be half a hin of wine for a bull, and the third part of a hin for the ram, and the fourth part of a hin for a lamb: this is the burnt offering of every month throughout the months of the year.

28:15 One male goat for a sin offering to Yahweh; it shall be offered besides the continual burnt offering, and the drink offering of it.

28:16 “‘In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, is Yahweh’s Passover.

28:17 On the fifteenth day of this month shall be a feast: seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten.

28:18 In the first day shall be a holy convocation: you shall do no servile work;

28:19 but you shall offer an offering made by fire, a burnt offering to Yahweh: two young bulls, and one ram, and seven male lambs a year old; they shall be to you without blemish;

28:20 and their meal offering, fine flour mixed with oil: you shall offer three tenth parts for a bull, and two tenth parts for the ram.

28:21 You shall offer a tenth part for every lamb of the seven lambs;

28:22 and one male goat for a sin offering, to make atonement for you.

28:23 You shall offer these besides the burnt offering of the morning, which is for a continual burnt offering.

28:24 In this way you shall offer daily, for seven days, the food of the offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh: it shall be offered besides the continual burnt offering, and the drink offering of it.

28:25 On the seventh day you shall have a holy convocation: you shall do no servile work.

28:26 “‘Also in the day of the first fruits, when you offer a new meal offering to Yahweh in your feast of weeks, you shall have a holy convocation; you shall do no servile work;

28:27 but you shall offer a burnt offering for a pleasant aroma to Yahweh: two young bulls, one ram, seven male lambs a year old;

28:28 and their meal offering, fine flour mixed with oil, three tenth parts for each bull, two tenth parts for the one ram,

28:29 a tenth part for every lamb of the seven lambs;

28:30 one male goat, to make atonement for you.

28:31 Besides the continual burnt offering, and the meal offering of it, you shall offer them (they shall be to you without blemish), and their drink offerings.

94:12 Blessed is the man whom you discipline, Yah, and teach out of your law;

94:13 that you may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit is dug for the wicked.

94:14 For Yahweh won’t reject his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.

94:15 For judgment will return to righteousness. All the upright in heart shall follow it.

94:16 Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evildoers?

94:17 Unless Yahweh had been my help, my soul would have soon lived in silence.

94:18 When I said, “My foot is slipping!” Your loving kindness, Yahweh, held me up.

94:19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me, your comforts delight my soul.

94:20 Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you, which brings about mischief by statute?

94:21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.

94:22 But Yahweh has been my high tower, my God, the rock of my refuge.

94:23 He has brought on them their own iniquity, and will cut them off in their own wickedness. Yahweh, our God, will cut them off.

3:1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,

3:2 in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness.

3:3 He came into all the region around the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for remission of sins.

3:4 As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make ready the way of the Lord. Make his paths straight.

3:5 Every valley will be filled. Every mountain and hill will be brought low. The crooked will become straight, and the rough ways smooth.

3:6 All flesh will see God’s salvation.’”

3:7 He said therefore to the multitudes who went out to be baptized by him, “You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and don’t begin to say among yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our father;’ for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones!

3:9 Even now the axe also lies at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that doesn’t bring forth good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire.”

3:10 The multitudes asked him, “What then must we do?”

3:11 He answered them, “He who has two coats, let him give to him who has none. He who has food, let him do likewise.”

3:12 Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what must we do?”

3:13 He said to them, “Collect no more than that which is appointed to you.”

3:14 Soldiers also asked him, saying, “What about us? What must we do?” He said to them, “Extort from no one by violence, neither accuse anyone wrongfully. Be content with your wages.”

3:15 As the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he was the Christ,

3:16 John answered them all, “I indeed baptize you with water, but he comes who is mightier than I, the latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to loosen. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and fire,

3:17 whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor, and will gather the wheat into his barn; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

3:18 Then with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people,

3:19 but Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias, his brother’s wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done,

3:20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
