Old/New Testament
29 1 Of the three principal feasts of the seventh month, to wit, the feast of trumpets, 7 The feast of reconciliation, 12 And the feast of Tabernacles.
1 Moreover, in the first day of the [a]seventh month ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein: (A)it shall be a day of blowing the trumpets unto you.
2 And ye shall make a burnt offering for a sweet savor unto the Lord: one young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of a year old, without blemish.
3 And their meat offering shall be of fine flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals unto the bullock, and two tenth deals unto the ram,
4 And one tenth deal unto the lamb, for the seven lambs,
5 And an he goat for a sin offering to make an atonement for you,
6 Beside the burnt offering of the [b]month, and his meat offering, and the continual [c]burnt offering, and his meat offering and the drink offerings of the same according to their manner, for a sweet savor: it is a sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord.
7 ¶ (B)And ye shall have in the tenth day of the seventh month, an holy [d]convocation: and ye shall (C)humble yourselves, and shall not do any work therein.
8 But ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the Lord for a sweet savor: one young bullock, a ram, and seven lambs of a year old: see they be without blemish.
9 And their meat offering shall be of fine flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals to a bullock, and two tenth deals to a ram,

11 An he goat for a sin offering, (beside the sin offering to make the atonement, and the continual [e]burnt offering and the meat offering thereof) and their drink offerings.
12 ¶ And in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, ye shall have an holy [f]convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein, but ye shall keep a feast unto the Lord seven days.
13 And ye shall offer a burnt offering for a sacrifice made by fire of sweet savor unto the Lord, thirteen young bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of a year old: they shall be without blemish.
14 And their meat offering shall be of fine flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals unto every bullock of the thirteen bullocks, two tenth deals to either of the two rams,
15 And one tenth deal unto each of the fourteen lambs,
16 And one he goat for a sin offering, beside the continual burnt offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering.
17 ¶ And the [g]second day ye shall offer twelve young bullocks, two rams, fourteen lambs of a year old without blemish,
18 With their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams and for the lambs according to their number, after the manner,
19 And an he goat for a sin offering, (beside the continual burnt offering and his meat offering) and their drink offerings.
20 ¶ Also the third day ye shall offer eleven bullocks, two rams and fourteen lambs of a year old without blemish,
21 With their meat offering and their drink offerings, for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, after their number, according to the [h]manner,
22 And an he goat for a sin offering, beside the continual burnt offering, and his meat offering, and his drink offering.
23 ¶ And the fourth day ye shall offer ten bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of a year old without blemish.

25 And an he goat for a sin offering, beside the continual burnt offering, his meat offering and his drink offering.
26 ¶ In the fifth day also ye shall offer nine bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of a year old without blemish,

28 And an he goat for a sin offering, beside the continual burnt offering, and his meat offering and his drink offering.
29 ¶ And in the sixth day ye shall offer eight bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of a year old without blemish,

31 And an he goat for a sin offering, beside the continual burnt offering, his meat offering and his drink offerings.
32 ¶ In the seventh day also ye shall offer seven bullocks, two rams and fourteen lambs of a year old without blemish,

34 And an he goat for a sin offering, beside the continual burnt offering, his meat offering and his drink offering.
35 ¶ In the eighth day, ye shall have (D)a solemn assembly: ye shall do no servile work therein,
36 But ye shall offer a burnt offering, a sacrifice made by fire for a sweet savor unto the Lord, one bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of a year old without blemish,
37 Their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullock, for the ram, and for the lambs according to their number, after the manner,
38 And an he goat for a sin offering, beside the continual burnt offering, and his meat offering, and his drink offering.
39 These things ye shall do unto the Lord in your feasts, beside your [i]vows, and your free offerings, for your burnt offerings, and for your meat offerings, and for your drink offerings, and for your peace offerings.
30 3 Concerning vows. 4 The vow of the maid, 7 Of the wife, 10 Of the widow or divorced.
1 Then Moses spake unto the children of Israel according to all that the Lord had commanded [j]him.
2 Moses also spake unto the heads of the tribes [k]concerning the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded,
3 Whosoever voweth a vow unto the Lord, or sweareth an oath to bind [l]himself by a bond, he shall not [m]break his promise, but shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.
4 If a woman also vow a vow unto the Lord, and bind herself by a bond, being in her father’s house, in the time of her youth,
5 And her father hear her vow and bond, wherewith she hath bound herself, and her father hold his [n]peace concerning her, then all her vows shall stand and every bond, wherewith she hath bound herself, shall stand.
6 But if her [o]father disallow her the same day that he heareth all her vows and bonds, wherewith she hath bound herself, they shall not be of value, and the Lord will forgive her, because her father disallowed her.
7 And if she have an husband when she voweth or [p]pronounceth ought with her lips, wherewith she bindeth herself,
8 If her husband heard it, and holdeth his peace concerning her, the same day he heareth it, then her vow shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bindeth herself shall stand in effect.
9 But if her husband disallow her the same day that he heareth it, then shall he make her vow which she hath made, and that that she hath pronounced with her lips, wherewith she bound [q]herself, of none effect: and the Lord will forgive her.
10 But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced (wherewith she hath bound herself) shall stand in [r]effect with her.
11 And if she vowed in her husband’s [s]house, or bound herself straightly with an oath,
12 And her husband hath heard it, and held his peace concerning her, not disallowing her, then all her vows shall stand, and every bond, wherewith she bound herself, shall stand in effect.
13 But if her husband disannulled them the same day that he heard them, nothing that proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows or concerning [t]her bonds, shall stand in effect: for her husband hath disannulled them: and the Lord will forgive her.
14 So every vow, and every oath or bond, made to [u]humble the soul, her husband may stablish it, or her husband may break it.
15 But if her husband hold his peace concerning her from [v]day to day, then he stablisheth all her vows and all her bonds which she hath made: he hath confirmed them because he held his peace concerning her the same day that he heard them.
16 But if he [w]break them after that he hath heard them, then shall he bear her iniquity.
17 These are the ordinances which the Lord commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, and between the father and his daughter, being young in her father’s house.
31 8 Five Kings of Midian and Balaam are slain. 18 Only the maids are reserved alive. 27 The prey is equally divided. 50 A present given of Israel.
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 (E)Revenge the children of Israel of the Midianites, and afterward shalt thou be (F)gathered unto thy people.
3 And Moses spake to the people, saying, Harness some of you unto war, and let them go against Midian, to execute the vengeance of the Lord [x]against Midian.
4 A thousand of every tribe throughout all the tribes of Israel shall ye send to the war.
5 So there were taken out of the thousands of Israel, twelve thousand prepared unto war, of every tribe a thousand.
6 And Moses sent them to the war, even a thousand of every tribe, and sent them with [y]Phinehas the son of Eleazar the Priest to the war: and the holy instruments, that is, the trumpets to blow were in his hand.
7 And they warred against Midian, as the Lord had commanded Moses, and slew all the males.
8 They slew also the kings of Midian among them that were slain: (G)Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian, and they slew [z]Balaam the son of Beor with the sword.
9 But the children of Israel took the women of Midian prisoners, and their children, and spoiled all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods.
10 And they burnt all their cities, wherein they dwelt, and all their [aa]villages with fire.
11 And they took all the spoil, and all the prey both of men and beasts.
12 And they brought the [ab]captives and that which they had taken, and the spoil unto Moses and to Eleazar the Priest, and unto the Congregation of the children of Israel, into the camp in the plain of Moab, which was by Jordan toward Jericho.
13 ¶ Then Moses and Eleazar the Priest, and all the princes of the Congregation went out of the camp to meet them.
14 And Moses was angry with the captains of the host, with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the war and battle.
15 And Moses said unto them, What? have ye saved all the [ac]women?
16 Behold, (H)these caused the children of Israel through the (I)counsel of Balaam to commit a trespass against the Lord, [ad]as concerning Peor, and there came a plague among the Congregation of the Lord.
17 Now therefore, (J)slay all the males among the [ae]children, and kill all the women that have known man by carnal copulation.
18 But all the women-children that have not known carnal copulation, keep alive for yourselves.
19 And ye shall remain without the host seven days, all that have killed any person, (K)and all that have touched any dead, and purify both yourselves and your prisoners the third day and the seventh.
20 Also ye shall purify every garment and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats’ hair, and all things made of wood.
21 ¶ And Eleazar the Priest said unto the men of war, which went to the battle, This is the ordinance [af]of the law which the Lord (L)commanded Moses.
22 As for gold, and silver, brass, iron, tin, and lead:
23 Even all that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean: yet, it shall be [ag]purified with (M)the water of purification: and all that suffereth not the fire, ye shall cause to pass by the [ah]water.
24 Ye shall wash also your clothes the seventh day, and ye shall be clean: and afterward ye shall come into the host.
25 ¶ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
26 Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of persons and of cattle, thou and Eleazar the Priest, and the chief fathers of the Congregation.
27 And divide the prey [ai]between the soldiers that went to the war, and all the Congregation.
28 And thou shalt take a tribute unto the Lord of the [aj]men of war, which went out to battle: one person of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep.
29 Ye shall take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the Priest, as an heave offering of the Lord.
30 But of the half of the children of Israel thou shalt take [ak]one, taken out of fifty, both of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the sheep, even of all the cattle, and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, which have the charge of the Tabernacle of the Lord.
31 And Moses and Eleazar the Priest did as the Lord had commanded Moses.
32 And the booty, to wit, the rest of the prey which the men of war had spoiled, was six hundred seventy and five thousand sheep,
33 And seventy and two thousand beeves,
34 And threescore and one thousand asses,
35 And two and thirty thousand persons in all, of women that had [al]lain by no man.
36 And the half, to wit, the part of them that went out to war, touching the number of sheep, was three hundred seven and thirty thousand, and five hundred.
37 And the [am]Lord’s tribute of the sheep was six hundred seventy and five.
38 And the beeves were six and thirty thousand, whereof the Lord’s tribute was seventy and two.
39 And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred, whereof the Lord’s tribute was threescore and one:
40 And [an]of persons sixteen thousand, whereof the Lord’s tribute was two and thirty persons.
41 And Moses gave the tribute of the Lord’s offering unto Eleazar the Priest, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
42 And of the [ao]half of the children of Israel, which Moses divided from the men of war,
43 (For the half that pertained unto the congregation, was three hundred thirty and seven thousand sheep and five hundred,
44 And six and thirty thousand beeves,
45 And thirty thousand asses, and five hundred,
46 And sixteen thousand persons.)
47 Moses, I say, took of the half that pertained unto the [ap]children of Israel, one taken out of fifty, both of the persons, and of the cattle, and gave them unto the Levites, which have the charge of the Tabernacle of the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
48 ¶ Then the captains which were over thousands of the host, the captains over the thousands, and the captains over the hundreds came unto Moses:
49 And said to Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war which are under [aq]our authority, and there lacketh not one man of us.
50 [ar]We have therefore brought a present unto the Lord, what every man found of Jewels of gold, bracelets, and chains, rings, earrings, and ornaments of the legs, to make an atonement for our souls before the Lord.
51 And Moses and Eleazar the Priest took the gold of them, and all wrought jewels,
52 And all the gold of the offering that they offered up to the Lord (of the captains over thousands and hundreds) was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.
53 (For the men of war had spoiled, every man for [as]himself.)
54 And Moses and Eleazar the Priest took the gold of the captains over the thousands, and over the hundreds, and brought it into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, for a [at]memorial of the children of Israel before the Lord.
9 2 Christ’s transfiguration. 7 Christ must be heard. 11 Of Elias and John Baptist. 14 The possessed healed. 23 Faith can do all things. 31 Christ foretelleth his death. 33 Who is greatest among the Apostles. 36 Christ taketh a child in his arms. 42 To offend. 50 Salt. Peace.
1 And (A)he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, that there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death till they have seen the [a]kingdom of God come with power.
2 (B)[b]And six days after, Jesus taketh unto him Peter, and James, and John, and carrieth them up into an high mountain out of the way alone, and his shape was changed before them.
3 And his raiment did [c]shine, and was very white as snow, so white as no fuller can make upon the earth.
4 And there appeared unto them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.
5 Then Peter answered, and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: let us make also three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
6 Yet he knew not what he said: for they were [d]afraid.
7 And there was a cloud that shadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, (C)This is my beloved Son: hear him.
8 And suddenly they looked round about, and saw no more any man save Jesus only with them.
9 (D)[e]And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them, that they should tell no man what they had seen, save when the Son of man were risen from the dead again.
10 So they [f]kept that matter to themselves, and [g]demanded one of another, what the rising from the dead again should mean.
11 [h]Also they asked him, saying, Why say the Scribes, that (E)Elijah must first come?
12 And he answered, and said unto them, Elijah verily shall first come, and restore all things: and (F)as it is written of the Son of man, he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.
13 But I say unto you, that Elijah is come, (and they have done unto him whatsoever they would) as it is written of him.
14 ¶ (G)[i]And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the Scribes disputing with them.
15 And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were amazed, and ran to him, and saluted him.
16 Then he asked the Scribes, What dispute you among yourselves?
17 And one of the company answered, and said, Master, I have brought my son unto thee, which hath a dumb spirit:
18 And wheresoever he taketh him, he [j]teareth him, and he foameth, and gnasheth his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples, that they should cast him out, and they could not.
19 Then he answered him, and said, O faithless generation, how long now shall I be with you! how long now shall I suffer you! Bring him unto me.
20 So they brought him unto him: and as soon as the spirit [k]saw him, he tare him, and he fell down on the ground wallowing and foaming.
21 Then he asked his father, How long time is it since he hath been thus? And he said, Of a child.
22 And oft times he casteth him into the fire, and into the water to destroy him: but if thou canst do anything, help us, and have compassion upon us.
23 And Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe it, [l]all things are possible to him that believeth.
24 And straightway the father of the child crying with tears, said, Lord, I believe: help my unbelief.
25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee come out of him, and enter no more into him.
26 [m]Then the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out, and he was as one dead, insomuch that many said, He is dead.
27 But Jesus took his hand, and lifted him up, and he arose.
28 [n]And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him secretly, Why could not we cast him out?
29 And he said unto them, This kind can by no other means come forth, but by prayer and fasting.
