22 3 Who ought to abstain from eating the things that were offered. 19 What oblation should be offered.
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, that they be [a]separated from the holy things of the children of Israel, and that they pollute not mine holy name in those things, which they hallow unto me: I am the Lord.
3 Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your seed among your generations after you, that [b]toucheth the holy things which the children of Israel hallow unto the Lord, having his uncleanness upon him, even that person shall be cut off from my sight, I am the Lord.
4 (A)Whosoever also of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath a running issue, he shall not eat of the holy things until he be clean: and who so toucheth any that is [c]unclean by reason of the dead, or a man whose issue of seed runneth from him,
5 Or the man that toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man by whom he may take uncleanness, [d]whatsoever uncleanness he hath,
6 The person that hath touched such, shall therefore be unclean until the even, and shall not eat of the holy things, [e]except he have washed his flesh with water.
7 But when the Sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things: for it is his [f]food.
8 (B)Of a beast that dieth, or is rent with beasts, whereby he may be defiled, he shall not eat: I am the Lord.
9 Let them keep therefore mine ordinance, lest they bear their sin for it, and die for it, if they defile it: I the Lord sanctify them.
10 There shall no [g]stranger also eat of the holy thing, neither [h]the guest of the Priest, neither shall an hired servant eat of the holy thing:
11 But if the Priest buy any with money, he shall eat of it, also he that is born in his house: they shall eat of his meat.
12 If the Priest’s daughter also be married unto a [i]stranger, she may not eat of the holy offerings.
13 Notwithstanding if the Priest’s daughter be a widow or divorced, and have no child, but is returned unto her father’s house, she shall eat of her father’s bread, as she did in her (C)youth: but there shall no stranger eat thereof.
14 ¶ If a man eat of the holy thing unwittingly, he shall put the [j]fifth part thereunto, and give it unto the Priest with the hallowed thing.
15 So shall they not defile the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto the Lord,
16 Neither cause the people to bear the iniquity of their [k]trespass, while they eat their holy thing: for I the Lord do hallow them.
17 ¶ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
18 Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say unto them, Whosoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that will offer his sacrifice for all their vows, and for all their free offerings, which they use to offer unto the Lord for a burnt offering,
19 Ye shall offer of your free mind a male without blemish of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats.
20 Ye shall not offer anything that hath a blemish: for that shall not be acceptable for you.
21 (D)And whosoever bringeth a peace offering unto the Lord to accomplish his vow, or for a free offering of the beeves, or of the sheep, his free offering shall be perfect, no blemish shall be in it.
22 Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a [l]wen, or scurvy, or scabbed: these shall ye not offer unto the Lord, nor make an offering by fire of these upon the Altar of the Lord.
23 Yet a bullock, or a sheep that hath any (E)member superfluous, or lacking, such mayest thou present for a free offering, but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
24 Ye shall not offer unto the Lord that which is bruised or crushed, or broken, or cut away, neither shall ye make an offering thereof in your land,
25 Neither [m]of the hand of a stranger shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of these, because their corruption is in them, there is a blemish in them: therefore shall they not be accepted for you.
26 ¶ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
27 When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat shall be brought forth, it shall be even seven days under his dam: and from the eighth day forth it shall be accepted for a sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord.
28 As for the cow or the ewe, ye shall not (F)kill her, and her young both in one day.
29 So when ye will offer a thank offering unto the Lord, ye shall offer willingly.
30 The same day shall it be eaten, ye shall leave (G)none of it to the morrow: I am the Lord.
31 Therefore shall ye keep my Commandments and do them: for I am the Lord.
32 Neither shall ye [n]pollute my holy Name, but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel. I the Lord sanctify you,
33 Which have brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the Lord.
28 1 Being in great fear and heaviness of heart to see God dishonored by the wicked, he desireth to be rid of them. 4 And crieth for vengeance against them: and at length assureth himself, that God hath heard his prayer, 9 Unto whose tuition he commendeth all the faithful.
A Psalm of David.
1 Unto thee, O Lord, do I cry: O my strength, be not deaf toward me, lest if thou answer me not, I be like [a]them that go down into the pit.
2 Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry unto thee, when I hold up my hands toward thine [b]holy Oracle.
3 [c]Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity: which speak friendly to their neighbors, when malice is in their hearts.
4 [d]Reward them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their inventions: recompense them after the work of their hands: render them their reward.
5 For they reward not the works of the Lord, nor the operation of his hands: therefore [e]break them down, and build them not up.
6 [f]Praised be the Lord, for he hath heard the voice of my petitions.
7 The Lord is my strength and my shield: mine heart trusted in him, and I was helped: therefore mine heart shall rejoice, and with my song will I praise him.
8 The Lord is [g]their strength, and he is the strength of the deliverances of his anointed.
9 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and exalt them forever.
29 1 The Prophet exhorteth the princes and rulers of the world (which for the most part think there is no God.) 3 At the least to fear him for the thunders and tempests, for fear whereof all creatures tremble. 11 And though thereby God threateneth sinners, yet he is always merciful to his, and moveth them thereby to praise his Name.
A Psalm of David.
1 Give unto the Lord, ye [h]sons of the mighty, give unto the Lord glory and strength.
2 Give unto the Lord glory due unto his Name: worship the Lord in the glorious Sanctuary.
3 The [i]voice of the Lord is upon the waters: the God of glory maketh it to thunder: the Lord is upon the great waters.
4 The voice of the Lord is mighty: the voice of the Lord is glorious.
5 The [j]voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars: yea, the Lord breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He maketh them also to leap like a calf: Lebanon also and [k]Shirion like a young unicorn.
7 The voice of the Lord divideth the [l]flames of fire.
8 The voice of the Lord maketh the wilderness to tremble: the Lord maketh the wilderness of [m]Kadesh to tremble.
9 The voice of the Lord maketh the hinds to [n]calve, and [o]discovereth the forests: therefore in his [p]Temple doth every man speak of his glory.
10 The Lord sitteth upon the [q]floods, and the Lord doth remain King forever.
11 The Lord shall give strength unto his people: the Lord shall bless his people with peace.
5 1 Not to speak lightly, chiefly in God’s matters. 9 The covetous can never have enough. 11 The laborer’s sleep is sweet. 14 Man when he dieth, taketh nothing with him. 18 To live joyfully, and with a contented mind, is the gift of God.
1 Be not [a]rash with thy mouth, nor let thine heart be hasty to utter a thing before God: for God is in the heavens, and thou art on the earth: therefore let thy words be [b]few.
2 For as a dream cometh by the multitude of business: so the voice of a fool is in the multitude of words.
3 (A)When thou hast vowed a vow to God, defer not to pay it: for he delighteth not in fools: pay therefore that thou hast [c]vowed.
4 It is better that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay it.
5 Suffer not thy mouth to make thy [d]flesh to sin: neither say before the [e]Angel, that this is ignorance: wherefore shall God be angry by thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?
6 For in the multitude of dreams, and vanities are also many words: but fear thou God.
7 If in a country thou seest the oppression of the poor, and the defrauding of judgment and justice, be not astonied at the matter: for he that is [f]higher than the highest, regardeth, and there be higher than they.
8 And the [g]abundance of the earth is over all: the king [h]also consisteth by the field that is tilled.
9 He that loveth silver, shall not be satisfied with silver, and he that loveth riches, shall be without the fruit thereof: this is also vanity.
10 When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good cometh to the owners thereof, but the beholding thereof with their eyes?
11 The sleep of him that travaileth, is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the [i]satiety of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.
12 There is an evil sickness that I have seen under the sun: to wit, riches [j]reserved to the owners thereof for their evil.
13 And these riches perish by evil travail, and he begetteth a son, and in his [k]hand is nothing.
14 (B)As he came forth of his mother’s belly, he shall return naked to go as he came, and shall bear away nothing of his labor, which he hath caused to pass by his hand.
15 And this also is an evil sickness, that in all points as he came, so shall he go, and what profit hath he that he hath travailed for the [l]wind?
16 Also all his days he eateth in [m]darkness with much grief, and in his sorrow and anger.
17 Behold then, what I have seen good, that it is comely to [n]eat, and to drink, and to take pleasure in all his labor, wherein he travaileth under the sun, the whole number of the days of his life, which God giveth him: for this is his portion.
18 Also to every man to whom God hath given riches and treasures, and giveth him power to eat thereof, and to take his part, and to enjoy his labor: this is the gifts of God.
19 Surely he will not much remember the days of his [o]life, because God answereth to the joy of his heart.
The Second Epistle of Paul to Timothy
1 3 He commendeth Timothy’s faith, 6 and exhorteth him to go on faithfully in the charge committed unto him: 8 and that neither for his bonds, 15 nor the revolting of others, he faint. 11 He triumpheth of his Apostleship. 14 He willeth him to have care of the thing committed unto him, 16 and praiseth Onesiphorus.
1 Paul an Apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, [a]according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,
2 To Timothy my beloved son: Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ our Lord.
3 [b]I thank God, (A)whom I serve from mine [c]elders with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day.
4 Desiring to see thee, mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy:
5 When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and in thy mother Eunice, and am assured that it dwelleth in thee also.
6 [d]Wherefore, I put thee in remembrance that thou [e]stir up the gift of God which is in thee, by the putting on of mine hands.
7 For God hath not given to us the Spirit of [f]fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
8 [g]Be not therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, neither of me [h]his prisoner: but be partaker of the afflictions of the [i]Gospel according to the [j]power of God,
9 [k]Who hath saved us, and called us with an (B)holy calling, not according to our (C)works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was [l]given to us through Christ Jesus [m]before the (D)world was,
10 But is now made manifest by that appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality unto [n]light through the Gospel.
11 (E)[o]Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and Apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
12 [p]For the which cause I also suffer these things, [q]but I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed to him against that day.
13 [r]Keep the true pattern of the wholesome words, which thou hast heard of me in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
14 [s]That worthy thing, which was committed to thee, keep [t]through the holy Ghost, which dwelleth in us.
15 [u]This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia, be turned from me: of which sort are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
16 The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus: for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,
17 But when he was at Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me.
18 The Lord grant unto him, that he may find mercy with the Lord at that day, and in how many things he hath ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.
