¹⁸ No one hath ever seen God. This only begotten son, who is in the bosom of the father, even he hath made him known.

⁷ Had you known me, you would have known my Father also. But hence forth you know him and have seen him. ⁸ Philip saith to him, Master shew us the Father, and it sufficeth. ⁹ Jesus saith to him, Am I so long a time with you, and hast thou not known me, Philip? He who hath seen me hath seen the Father: how then sayest thou, Shew us the Father? ¹⁰ Dost thou not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words which I speak to you, I do not speak from myself. And it is the Father himself abiding in me who doth the works.

¹⁵ who is an image of the invisible God, a first born of the whole creation.

⁸ He therefore who rejecteth [these instructions] rejecteth not man, but God, even him who hath given us his holy spirit.

¹⁶ who alone hath immortality, who inhabiteth light inaccessible, whom no man hath seen, or can see, to whom be honour and everlasting dominion. Amen.

³ who being an effulgence of the glory, and an impress of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, having by himself made a purification of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the majesty on high,

¹⁰ and more especially them who go after flesh, in the lust of uncleanness, and despise authority. Being audacious, and self sufficient they tremble not when they revile glories;

⁸ so likewise shall these dreamers. They indeed defile the flesh, and despise authority and revile glories,

¹⁵ I will sally forth and return to my place until they are made desolate, then they will seek my face.

² If any man hath, on the outer coat of the skin, a remarkable swelling, very white, and there be a touch of the leprosy on the outer coat of his skin, he shall be brought to Aaron the priest, or to one of his sons, the priests: ³ and the priest shall look at the touch on the outer coat of his skin; and if the hair in the touch be turned white, and the appearance of the touch be deeper than the outer skin, it is a touch of the leprosy. And when the priest shall see this, he shall pronounce him unclean. ⁴ But though the whiteness be exceedingly bright on the outer coat of the skin, if the appearance of it be not deeper than the outer coat, and the hair thereof be not turned white, but is of a duskish colour; the priest shall set apart the patient seven day. ⁵ And on the seventh day the priest shall view the touch; and if the touch still remaineth before him, but hath not spread on the outer skin, the priest shall set him apart seven days more. ⁶ And on the seventh day the priest shall look on him again, and if the touch be languid, and hath not spread on the outer skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean; for it is but a mark. And having washed his clothes, he shall be clean. ⁷ But if the mark on the outer skin shall change, and spread, after the priest viewed him for the purpose of pronouncing him clean, he shall again appear before the priest, ⁸ and the priest shall view him; and if the mark hath spread on the skin, the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a leprosy. ⁹ And when any man hath a touch of the leprosy, he shall come to the priest; ¹⁰ and the priest shall view it: and if there be a white swelling on the outer skin, and it hath changed the hair, and there be some raw flesh in the swelling, ¹¹ it is an inveterate leprosy in the outer skin of the flesh, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean, and set him apart, for he is unclean. ¹² But if the leprosy hath formed an efflorescence on the outer skin, and covered the whole skin of the patient from head to foot, wherever the priest looketh: ¹³ and the priest shall look and see that the leprosy hath covered the whole skin of the flesh, the priest shall pronounce him clean. Because it hath turned all white it is clean. ¹⁴ But whenever raw flesh appeareth on him he shall become unclean. ¹⁵ When the priest shall see the raw flesh, that raw flesh shall announce him unclean; for he is unclean. It is a leprosy. ¹⁶ But if the raw flesh stop, and turn white, he shall come to the priest. ¹⁷ And when the priest shall look, and see that the touch is turned white, the priest shall pronounce him clean. In regard to the touch he is clean. ¹⁸ And if the flesh at the outer skin hath been a boil, and healed, ¹⁹ and in the place of the boil there be a white swelling of a very shining whiteness or redness, ²⁰ he shall appear before the priest; and when the priest shall see that the appearance is deeper than the outer skin, and that the hair is changed white, the priest shall pronounce him unclean, for it is a leprosy; it hath broken out in the boil. ²¹ But if the priest shall see that there is no white hair in it, and that it is not deeper than the outer skin, and the hair is of a duskish colour, the priest shall set him apart seven days. ²² And if it actually spread on the skin, the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a touch of the leprosy. It hath broken out in the boil. ²³ But if the brightness continueth in its place and is not spread; it is the effect of the boil and the priest shall pronounce him clean. ²⁴ And if the flesh hath been a burn of lire, and the burn when healed become remarkably splendent, whitish, reddish, or very white, ²⁵ the priest shall view it: and if the white hair hath changed to a shining whiteness, and the appearance is deeper than the skin, it is a leprosy. It hath broken out in the burn. So the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a touch of the leprosy. ²⁶ But if the priest see that there is no white hair in the bright spot, and that it is not deeper than the skin, but is of a brownish colour, the priest shall set him apart seven days; and on the seventh day ²⁷ the priest shall view him; and if it hath actually spread on the skin, the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a touch of the leprosy. ²⁸ It hath broken out in the blister. But if the shining spot remaineth in its place, and hath not spread on the skin, and the hair be of a brownish colour, it is the effect of the burn, and the priest shall pronounce him clean; for it is the scar of the burn. ²⁹ And if any man or woman hath a touch of the leprosy in the head or on the chin, ³⁰ the priest shall view the touch; and if he perceive that the appearance of the touch is deeper than the skin, and that the hair in it is thin, and of a yellowish colour, the priest shall pronounce the person unclean. It is a scald, a leprosy of the head, or a leprosy of the chin. ³¹ But if the priest, upon viewing the touch of the scald, see that the appearance of it is not deeper than the skin, and that the hair in it is not of a yellowish colour, the priest shall set apart the person who hath the touch of the scald, seven days. ³² And on the seventh day the priest shall view the touch; and if the scald hath not spread, and there be no yellowish hair in it, and the appearance of the scald is not deeper than the skin; ³³ then the skin must be shaved; but the scald must not be shaved, and the priest shall set apart the scald seven days more. ³⁴ And on the seventh day, if the priest, upon viewing the scald see that the scald hath not spread on the skin after the patient was shaved, and that the appearance of the scald is not deeper than the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean; and, having washed his clothes, he shall be clean. ³⁵ But if the scald spread on the skin after the person hath been pronounced clean, ³⁶ and the priest, upon viewing it, shall see that the scald hath spread on the skin, the priest shall examine no farther about the yellow hair, for he is unclean. ³⁷ But, if upon his viewing it, the scald continueth in its place, and the black hair grow in it, the scald is healed. He is clean, and the priest shall pronounce him clean. ³⁸ And if any man or woman hath shining spots on the skin of the flesh, of a shining whiteness; ³⁹ and the priest, upon viewing it, see in the skin of the flesh spots of a shining whiteness, it is a kind of leucophlegmacy; it springeth up in the skin of the flesh; he is clean. ⁴⁰ And if any person's head shed its hair, though he be bald he is clean. ⁴¹ And if his head shed its hair before, he is forehead bald, yet he is clean. ⁴² But, if on the bald head, or bald forehead, there come a white or red spot, it is a leprosy in the bald head, or bald forehead. ⁴³ And if the priest, upon viewing, see that the appearance of the spot is white, or reddish, in the bald head, or bald forehead, like the appearance of the leprosy in the skin of the flesh, ⁴⁴ he is a leprous man, the priest shall instantly pronounce him unclean. The touch is in his head. ⁴⁵ Now the leper who hath the touch, must have his clothes rent, and his head uncovered, but he must cover his mouth, and he shall be proclaimed unclean. All the time the touch shall be upon him, being unclean, he shall be unclean, ⁴⁶ he shall dwell alone by himself. His abode shall be without the camp.

⁹ Remember what the Lord thy God did to Mariam, on the way, as you were coming out of the land of Egypt.

²⁷ but the leprosy of Naiman shall cleave to thee, and thy seed forever. So he went out from his presence, leprous like snow.

⁵ Though the Lord struck the king with a leprosy and he was leprous to the day of his death, yet he reigned in the house, Apphusoth; and Joatham the king's son was over the household and judged the people of the land.

¹⁹ At this Ozias was inflamed with wrath, and had in his hand the censer to burn incense in the temple. But when his anger kindled against the priests, the leprosy broke out on his forehead, before the priests, in the house of the Lord, at the altar of incense. ²⁰ And when Azarias the chief priest, with the other priests, turned towards him, behold he was leprous on the forehead, so they hurried him out thence. He indeed himself hasted to go out, because the Lord had convicted him. ²¹ So Ozias the king was a leper to the day of his death, and as a leper, dwelt in the house of Apphusoth; for he was cut off from the house of the Lord, and Joatham, his son, was over the kingdom, administering justice to the people of the land.

⁴ And the glory of the Lord had removed from the cherubims to the open part of the house and the cloud filled the house and the court was filled with the splendour of the glory of the Lord: ⁵ and the sound of the wings of the cherubims was heard to the outer court like the voice of God Saddai speaking.

¹⁸ Then the glory of the Lord went out from the house and mounted up upon the cherubims; ¹⁹ and the cherubims raised their wings and mounted up from the earth in my sight. When they went out the wheels were close by them. And they stopped at the vestibule of the gate of the house of the Lord which was over against the house and the glory of the God of Israel was above over them.

¹² For though they bring up their children, they shall be bereaved of them from among men: for [and alas for them! my flesh is of them]

⁴¹ Then he will say to them on his left, Depart from me, ye cursed, into the fire which is everlasting; that prepared for the devil and his angels!

³² Take your flocks and your herds and go away, and bless me, I beseech you.

³⁰ For this cause, thus saith the Lord the God of Israel, I said, Thy house, and the house of thy father, shall go out before me for ever; but now the Lord saith, Far be this from me; for I will honour them only who honour me. And he who despiseth me shall be despised.

¹⁹ And all the people said to Samuel, Pray for thy servants to the Lord thy God, that we may not die, because we have added evil to all our sins, in asking for ourselves a king.

²⁴ Then Saul said to Samuel, I have sinned; for I have transgressed the word of the Lord, and thy orders, because I feared the people and hearkened to their voice. ²⁵ Now therefore bear away my sin, I beseech thee, and return with me that I may worship the Lord thy God.

¹⁹ and said to the king, Let not my lord, I pray thee, impute to me my transgression; nor call to remembrance what thy servant did perversely, on the clay when my lord went out of Jerusalem, that the king should lay it to heart.

¹⁰ And David's heart smote him after this numbering of the people: and David said to the Lord, I have sinned greatly in what I have done. Now therefore, Lord, forgive, I beseech thee, the iniquity of thy servant, for I have acted very foolishly.

⁶ Then king Jeroboam said to the man of God, Entreat the favour of the Lord thy God and let my hand be restored to me. So the man of God entreated the favour of the Lord, and he restored the king's hand to him; and it was as it had been before.

⁹ For the eyes of the Lord look throughout the whole earth, to strengthen them whose heart is perfect towards him. In this matter thou hast acted foolishly. Henceforward thou shalt have war.

¹ A Psalm for remembrance, respecting rest. Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath; nor chasten me in thine anger. ² For in me thy shafts are deeply fixed; and on me thou hast heavily laid thy hand. ³ There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; no rest to my bones, because of my sins. ⁴ Because mine iniquities mounted above my head; like a heavy burden they were heavy on me. ⁵ The Wounds, on account of my folly putrefied and became corrupt.

³² If thou sufferest thyself to be elated with joy and engages in battle thou wilt incur disgrace.

² came to Jeremias the prophet and said to him, Have compassion on us, we beseech thee and pray to the Lord thy God for this remnant; for we are left only few of many as thine eyes see.

²⁴ In reply to which Simon said, Pray ye to the Lord for me that none of these things which you have mentioned may come upon me.

⁹ behold I give thee some of the synagogue of satan, who say they are Jews and are not; but do lie. Behold I will make them come, and worship at thy feet, and know that I have loved thee.

¹⁶ or like an untimely birth sent forth from its mother's womb: or like infants which never saw the light.

⁸ Like melting wax they shall be dissolved. A fire fell and they saw not the sun.

⁴ I was counted with them who are going down to the pit; I became like a man who is past recovery; ⁵ like one set free among the dead; like the prostrate slain, asleep in the grave, whom thou hast no more remembered. Though they were cast off out of thy hand,

⁸ and, last of all, he was seen also by me, who am as it were one born out of due time;

¹ And with respect to you, when you were dead in those trespasses, and those sins, ² in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world; according to the prince of the power of the air, that spirit which is now working powerfully in the children of disobedience; ³ among whom when we also were all formerly leading our lives in the desires of our flesh, executing the dictates of the flesh, and the imaginations, and were naturally children of wrath even as the rest; ⁴ then God, who is rich in mercy, on the account of the great love with which he loved us, ⁵ even when we were dead in those trespasses, did bring us to life with the Christ, [by grace you are saved]

¹³ When you were dead in the trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh he raised you to life with him. Having freely forgiven you all those trespasses

⁶ but she, who indulgeth herself in sensuality, is dead, though she liveth.

¹⁰ Now therefore let me alone, that being provoked to wrath against them I may utterly destroy them, and I will make thee a great nation. ¹¹ Upon which Moses made supplication before the Lord God and said, Shouldst thou, Lord, be provoked to wrath against thy people, whom thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with thine uplifted arm, ¹² perhaps the Egyptians may speak, saying, With an ill intent he led them out to slay them on the mountains and utterly consume them from the earth. Stay thy fierce indignation and be merciful at this wickedness of thy people, ¹³ remembering Abraham and Isaak and Jacob thy servants, to whom thou didst swear by thyself and didst speak saying, I will greatly multiply your seed like the stars of heaven for multitude; and didst say that thou wouldst give them all that land, that they should possess it for ever. ¹⁴ And when the Lord was moved with compassion to save his people,

² the people wept that whole night. And all the Israelites murmured against Moses and Aaron; and the whole congregation said to them, that we had died in the land of Egypt, or even in this wilderness!

¹³ Thereupon Moses said to the Lord, Though Egypt may publish that thou by thy mighty power didst bring this people out from among them; ¹⁴ Nay though all the inhabitants of this land have heard that thou the Lord art among this people; that they with their eyes may behold thee, Lord, exposed to view; and that thy cloud hath stood over them, and that thou marchest before them in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night; ¹⁵ yet when thou shalt destroy this people as one man, then will all the nations who have heard of thy name speak, saying, ¹⁶ Because the Lord was not able to bring this people into the land which, with an oath, he promised them, he hath destroyed them in the wilderness. ¹⁷ Now therefore let thy power, Lord, be exalted. As thou hast spoken, saying, ¹⁸ "The Lord is long suffering, abundant in mercy and true, taking away iniquities, transgressions and sins; and, when he will not by purification clear the guilty, retributing the sins of fathers on children to the third and fourth generation," ¹⁹ forgive the sin of this people according to thy great mercy, as thou hast been gracious to them from Egypt even to this time. ²⁰ Then the Lord said to Moses, I am merciful to them according to thy word.

⁴¹ On the next day, when the people murmured against Moses and Aaron, saying, You have slain the people of the Lord;

⁴⁶ Whereupon they fell on their face. And Moses said to Aaron, Take the censer, and put therein fire from the altar, and throw incense on it, and carry it with all haste to the camp, and make atonement for them; for wrath is gone forth from the presence of the Lord, and hath begun to slay the people. ⁴⁷ So Aaron took as Moses commanded him, and ran into the congregation; [Now the destruction among the people had already begun] and he threw on the incense, and made atonement for the people, ⁴⁸ and stood between the dead and the living; and the plague ceased. ⁴⁹ Now they who died by the plague were fourteen thousand seven hundred, besides those who died on the account of Kore. ⁵⁰ When Aaron returned to Moses to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and the plague had ceased,

²³ And as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you.

¹¹ Have I had comfort for making Saul king? For he hath turned away from following me, and hath not observed my orders. Thereupon Samuel was grieved, and cried to the Lord that whole night.

²⁶ And the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun; and the light of the sun shall on that day be seven fold; when the Lord will heal the bruises of his people, and when he will cure thy painful wound.

¹⁴ Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed. Save me, and I shall be saved. Because Thou art my boast, behold they say to me,

⁴⁴ But I say to you, Love your enemies. Bless them who curse you. Do good to them who hate you: and pray for them who spitefully use you and persecute you; ⁴⁵ that you may be the children of your Father in heaven: for he causeth the sun to rise on bad and good, and sendeth the rain on just and unjust.

²⁸ Bless them who curse you; and pray for them who spitefully abuse you.

³⁴ Whereupon Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they are doing. Then dividing his garments in shares they cast lots.

⁶⁰ Then he kneeled down and cried out with a loud voice, O! Lord, charge not this sin to their account; and having said this he fell asleep.

²¹ Be not overcome by evil; but overcome evil with good.

¹⁵ And the prayer of this faith will cure the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And though he may have committed sin, he will be forgiven.

⁸ And he who is cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and wash himself with water; and he shall be clean; and after this he may come into the camp; but he must tarry abroad, out of his own house, seven days.

² Give orders to the children of Israel, and let them send out of the camp every one who is a leper, and every one who hath a gonorrhea, and every one who is defiled by the dead; ³ whether male or female, send them out of the camp, that they may not defile their camps in which I am present among them.

⁹ Upon which his brother's wife shall come, in the presence of the senate, and loose one shoe from his foot, and spit before his face, and addressing him, say, So shall be done to the man who will not build up his brother's house in Israel.

⁶ But thou hast made me a by-word among nations, and I am become a subject of laughter for them.

¹⁰ and have abhorred me and stood at a distance: and have not spared to spit in my face.

⁶ My back I have given to scourges, and my cheeks to be slapped with an open hand, and I turned not my face from the shame of spittles.

⁶⁷ Then they spat in his face and struck him with their fists,68 and smote him with staves, saying,

⁹ Well then: we have had fathers of our flesh who have corrected us, and we have reverenced them; shall we not much more submit ourselves to the father of our spirits, and live?

²¹ and he drank of the wine and was intoxicated and uncovered in his house. ²² And Cham, the father of Chanaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and going out told his two brothers without. ²³ Whereupon Sem and Japheth took the garment and put it on both their shoulders, and went backwards and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces being turned from him, they did not see the nakedness of their father.

¹² Honour thy father and thy mother that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayst live long in that good land, which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

⁸ Take heed to thyself, that in the touch of the leprosy thou be very careful to act according to all the law which the priests, the Levites, may point out to you. Be careful to do in the manner I commanded you. ⁹ Remember what the Lord thy God did to Mariam, on the way, as you were coming out of the land of Egypt.

³² because he who hath humbled will have compassion, even according to the multitude of his mercies.

⁸ Rejoice not over me, mine enemy, because I have fallen. I shall rise again, for though I sit in darkness the Lord will give me light. ⁹ I will bear the indignation of the Lord, because I have sinned against him; until he vindicate my cause. He will do me justice and bring me out into light;

² Lord, I have heard the report of thee and am terrified; I have considered thy works and am struck with amaze. In the midst of two living beings thou wilt be known; when the years draw nigh thou wilt be acknowledged; when the time is come thou wilt be pointed out: when my soul is troubled, in wrath remember mercy.

²¹ Thus he dwelt in the wilderness, and his mother took for him a wife from Pharan of Egypt.

¹² whereupon the Israelites with their baggage, marched through the wilderness of Sina, and the cloud halted in the wilderness of Pharan.

³⁵ From the Monuments of longing desire, the people removed to Aseroth;

³ So Moses sent them from the wilderness of Pharan, by the command of the Lord. All the men were principal officers of the children of Israel,

²⁶ and journeying on came to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation of the Israelites in the wilderness of Pharan Kades, and made report to them and to all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land.

¹⁸ And they removed from Aseroth, and encamped at Rathama.

¹ Now when Samuel died all Israel assembled, and bewailed him, and buried him at his house at Armathaim. Then David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Maon.

³ God will come from Thaiman, even the Holy One from the thick shady mountains of Pharan.
