²⁰ And the people shout, and blow with the trumpets, and it cometh to pass when the people hear the voice of the trumpet, that the people shout—a great shout, and the wall falleth under it, and the people goeth up into the city, each over-against him, and they capture the city;

¹² Then speaketh Joshua to Jehovah in the day of Jehovah's giving up the Amorites before the sons of Israel, and he saith, before the eyes of Israel, `Sun—in Gibeon stand still; and moon—in the valley of Ajalon;' <sup>13</sup> and the sun standeth still, and the moon hath stood—till the nation taketh vengeance on its enemies; is it not written on the Book of the Upright, `and the sun standeth in the midst of the heavens, and hath not hasted to go in—as a perfect day?'

²³ `And who is as Thy people, as Israel—one nation in the earth, whom God hath gone to redeem to Him for a people, and to make for Him a name—and to do for you the greatness—even fearful things for Thy land, at the presence of Thy people, whom Thou hast redeemed to Thee out of Egypt—among the nations and their gods?

⁵ By fearful things in righteousness Thou answerest us, O God of our salvation, The confidence of all far off ends of earth and sea.

³ Say to God, `How fearful are Thy works, By the abundance of Thy strength, Thine enemies feign obedience to Thee.

⁵ Come ye, and see the works of God, Fearful acts toward the sons of men.

³⁵ Fearful, O God, out of Thy sanctuaries, The God of Israel Himself, Giving strength and might to the people. Blessed is God!

¹² He doth gather the spirit of leaders, Fearful to the kings of earth!

¹⁴ Thou art the God doing wonders. Thou hast made known among the peoples Thy strength,

¹² Before their fathers He hath done wonders, In the land of Egypt—the field of Zoan.

²² Of wonderful things in the land of Ham, Of fearful things by the sea of Suph.

⁶ And the strength of Thy fearful acts they tell, And Thy greatness I recount.

²⁰ He hath not done so to any nation, As to judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye Jah!

³ In Thy doing fearful things—we expect not, Thou didst come down, From Thy presence did mountains flow.

²¹ `And Thou bringest forth Thy people Israel from the land of Egypt, with signs and with wonders, and by a strong hand, and by a stretched-out arm, and by great fear,

¹⁸ In that day hath Jehovah made with Abram a covenant, saying, `To thy seed I have given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Phrat, ¹⁹ with the Kenite, and the Kenizzite, and the Kadmonite, ²⁰ and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Rephaim, ²¹ and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Girgashite, and the Jebusite.'

⁸ and I go down to deliver it out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to cause it to go up out of the land, unto a land good and broad, unto a land flowing with milk and honey—unto the place of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

¹⁷ and I say, I bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt, unto the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, unto a land flowing with milk and honey.

² (and I have sent before thee a messenger, and have cast out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite,)

¹ `And now, Israel, hearken unto the statutes, and unto the judgments which I am teaching you to do, so that ye live, and have gone in, and possessed the land which Jehovah God of your fathers is giving to you. ² Ye do not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor diminish from it, to keep the commands of Jehovah your God which I am commanding you.

⁴⁰ and thou hast kept His statutes and His commands which I am commanding thee to-day, so that it is well to thee, and to thy sons after thee, and so that thou prolongest days on the ground which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee—all the days.'

³² `And ye have observed to do as Jehovah your God hath commanded you, ye turn not aside—right or left;

³ `And thou hast heard, O Israel, and observed to do, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest multiply exceedingly, as Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath spoken to thee, in the land flowing with milk and honey.

²⁵ and righteousness it is for us, when we observe to do all this command before Jehovah our God, as He hath commanded us.

¹⁹ the great trials which thine eyes have seen, and the signs, and the wonders, and the strong hand, and the stretched-out arm, with which Jehovah thy God hath brought thee out; so doth Jehovah thy God to all the peoples of whose presence thou art afraid.

⁴ `Thou dost not speak in thy heart (in Jehovah thy God's driving them away from before thee), saying, For my righteousness hath Jehovah brought me in to possess this land, seeing for the wickedness of these nations is Jehovah dispossessing them from thy presence; ⁵ not for thy righteousness, and for the uprightness of thy heart, art thou going in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations is Jehovah thy God dispossessing them from before thee; and in order to establish the word which Jehovah hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob;

²⁸ Observe, and thou hast obeyed all these words which I am commanding thee, in order that it may be well with thee and with thy sons after thee—to the age, when thou dost that which is good and right in the eyes of Jehovah thy God.

³² The whole thing which I am commanding you—it ye observe to do; thou dost not add unto it, nor diminish from it.

¹ `And it hath been, if thou dost hearken diligently to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to observe to do all His commands which I am commanding thee to-day, that Jehovah thy God hath made thee uppermost above all the nations of the earth,

²¹ he who is having my commands, and is keeping them, that one it is who is loving me, and he who is loving me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.'

³² thou dost not make a covenant with them, and with their gods; ³³ they do not dwell in thy land, lest they cause thee to sin against Me when thou servest their gods, when it becometh a snare to thee.'

² and Jehovah thy God hath given them before thee, and thou hast smitten them—thou dost utterly devote them—thou dost not make with them a covenant, nor dost thou favour them.

¹⁶ `And thou hast consumed all the peoples whom Jehovah thy God is giving to thee; thine eye hath no pity on them, and thou dost not serve their gods, for a snare it is to thee.

¹² `But—if ye at all turn back and have cleaved to the remnant of these nations, these who are left with you, and intermarried with them, and gone in to them, and they to you, ¹³ know certainly that Jehovah your God is not continuing to dispossess these nations from before you, and they have been to you for a gin, and for a snare, and for a scourge, in your sides, and for thorns in your eyes, till ye perish from off this good ground which Jehovah your God hath given to you.

² and saith, `I cause you to come up out of Egypt, and bring you in unto the land which I have sworn to your fathers, and say, I do not break My covenant with you to the age; and ye—ye make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land—their altars ye break down; and ye have not hearkened to My voice—what is this ye have done? ³ And I also have said, I do not cast them out from your presence, and they have been to you for adversaries, and their gods are to you for a snare.'

²⁷ and Gideon maketh it into an ephod, and setteth it up in his city, in Ophrah, and all Israel go a-whoring after it there, and it is to Gideon and to his house for a snare.

³⁶ And serve their idols, And they are to them for a snare.

²⁴ `Thou dost not bow thyself to their gods, nor serve them, nor do according to their doings, but dost utterly devote them, and thoroughly break their standing pillars.

⁵ `But thus thou dost to them: their altars ye break down, and their standing pillars ye shiver, and their shrines ye cut down, and their graven images ye burn with fire;

²⁵ `The graven images of their gods ye do burn with fire; thou dost not desire the silver and gold on them, nor hast thou taken it to thyself, lest thou be snared by it, for the abomination of Jehovah thy God it is; ²⁶ and thou dost not bring in an abomination unto thy house—or thou hast been devoted like it; —thou dost utterly detest it, and thou dost utterly abominate it; for it is devoted.

² ye do utterly destroy all the places where the nations which ye are dispossessing served their gods, on the high mountains, and on the heights, and under every green tree; ³ and ye have broken down their altars, and shivered their standing pillars, and their shrines ye burn with fire, and graven images of their gods ye cut down, and have destroyed their name out of that place.

²¹ `Thou dost not plant for thee a shrine of any trees near the altar of Jehovah thy God, which thou makest for thyself,

² and saith, `I cause you to come up out of Egypt, and bring you in unto the land which I have sworn to your fathers, and say, I do not break My covenant with you to the age; and ye—ye make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land—their altars ye break down; and ye have not hearkened to My voice—what is this ye have done?

²⁵ And it cometh to pass, on that night, that Jehovah saith to him, `Take the young ox which is to thy father, and the second bullock of seven years, and thou hast thrown down the altar of Baal which is to thy father, and the shrine which is by it thou dost cut down,

⁴ he hath turned aside the high places, and broken in pieces the standing-pillars, and cut down the shrine, and beaten down the brazen serpent that Moses made, for unto these days were the sons of Israel making perfume to it, and he calleth it `a piece of brass.'

¹⁴ And he hath broken in pieces the standing-pillars, and cutteth down the shrines, and filleth their place with bones of men;

¹ And at the completion of all this, gone out have all Israel who are found present to the cities of Judah, and break the standing-pillars, and cut down the shrines, and break down the high places and the altars, out of all Judah and Benjamin, and in Ephraim and Manasseh, even to completion, and all the sons of Israel turn back, each to his Possession, to their cities.

³ And in the eighth year of his reign (and he yet a youth), he hath begun to seek to the God of David his father, and in the twelfth year he hath begun to cleanse Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the shrines, and the graven images, and the molten images. ⁴ And they break down before him the altars of the Baalim, and the images that are on high above them he hath cut down, and the shrines, and the graven images, and the molten images, he hath broken and beaten small, and streweth on the surface of the graves of those sacrificing to them,

³ `Thou hast no other Gods before Me. <sup>4</sup> `Thou dost not make to thyself a graven image, or any likeness which is in the heavens above, or which is in the earth beneath, or which is in the waters under the earth. ⁵ Thou dost not bow thyself to them, nor serve them: for I, Jehovah thy God, am a zealous God, charging iniquity of fathers on sons, on the third generation, and on the fourth, of those hating Me,

⁵ And Jehovah cometh down in a cloud, and stationeth Himself with him there, and calleth in the Name of Jehovah, ⁶ and Jehovah passeth over before his face, and calleth: `Jehovah, Jehovah God, merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth, ⁷ keeping kindness for thousands, taking away iniquity, and transgression, and sin, and not entirely acquitting, charging iniquity of fathers on children, and on children's children, on a third generation, and on a fourth.'

²⁴ for Jehovah thy God is a fire consuming—a zealous God.

⁷ `Thou hast no other gods in My presence.

²⁴ and say, Lo, Jehovah our God hath shewed us His honour, and His greatness; and His voice we have heard out of the midst of the fire; this day we have seen that God doth speak with man—and he hath lived.

¹⁵ for a zealous God is Jehovah thy God in thy midst—lest the anger of Jehovah thy God burn against thee, and He hath destroyed thee from off the face of the ground.

²⁰ Jehovah is not willing to be propitious to him, for then doth the anger of Jehovah smoke, also His zeal, against that man, and lain down on him hath all the oath which is written in this book, and Jehovah hath blotted out his name from under the heavens,

¹⁶ They make Him zealous with strangers, With abominations they make Him angry.

²¹ They have made Me zealous by `no-god,' They made Me angry by their vanities; And I make them zealous by `no-people,' By a foolish nation I make them angry.

⁶ For a Child hath been born to us, A Son hath been given to us, And the princely power is on his shoulder, And He doth call his name Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace.

¹⁵ For thus said the high and exalted One, Inhabiting eternity, and holy is His name: `In the high and holy place I dwell, And with the bruised and humble of spirit, To revive the spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of bruised ones,'

² A God zealous and avenging is Jehovah, An avenger is Jehovah, and possessing fury. An avenger is Jehovah on His adversaries, And He is watching for His enemies.

¹⁰ Then saith Jesus to him, `Go—Adversary, for it hath been written, The Lord thy God thou shalt bow to, and Him only thou shalt serve.'

²² do we arouse the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than He?

³² thou dost not make a covenant with them, and with their gods;

¹⁰ And He saith, `Lo, I am making a covenant: before all thy people I do wonders, which have not been done in all the earth, or in any nation, and all the people in whose midst thou art have seen the work of Jehovah, for it is fearful that which I am doing with thee.

¹² take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitant of the land into which thou art going, lest it become a snare in thy midst;

⁷ and they sacrifice not any more their sacrifices to goats after which they are going a-whoring; a statute age-during is this to them, to their generations.

⁵ then I have set My face against that man, and against his family, and have cut him off, and all who are going a-whoring after him, even going a-whoring after the Molech, from the midst of their people. ⁶ `And the person who turneth unto those having familiar spirits, and unto the wizards, to go a-whoring after them, I have even set My face against that person, and cut him off from the midst of his people.

³⁹ and it hath been to you for a fringe, and ye have seen it, and have remembered all the commands of Jehovah, and have done them, and ye search not after your heart, and after your eyes, after which ye are going a-whoring;

² and they call for the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people eat, and bow themselves to their gods,

¹⁶ And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Lo, thou art lying down with thy fathers, and this people hath risen, and gone a-whoring after the gods of the stranger of the land into the midst of which it hath entered, and forsaken Me, and broken My covenant which I made with it;

¹⁷ and also unto their judges they have not hearkened, but have gone a-whoring after other gods, and bow themselves to them; they have turned aside with haste out of the way in which their fathers walked to obey the commands of Jehovah—they have not done so.

⁹ and what they are needing—both young bullocks, and rams, and lambs for burnt-offerings to the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil according to the saying of the priests who are in Jerusalem—let be given to them day by day without fail,

²⁷ For, lo, those far from Thee do perish, Thou hast cut off every one, Who is going a whoring from Thee.

²⁸ And they are coupled to Baal-Peor, And eat the sacrifices of the dead,

⁹ And it hath come to pass, from the vileness of her fornication, that the land is defiled, and she committeth fornication with stone and with wood.

¹² My people at its staff asketh and its rod declareth to it, For a spirit of whoredoms hath caused to err, And they go a-whoring from under their God.

¹ `Rejoice not, O Israel, be not joyful like the peoples, For thou hast gone a-whoring from thy God, Thou hast loved a gift near all floors of corn.

⁴ Concerning the eating then of the things sacrificed to idols, we have known that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God except one;

⁷ but not in all men is the knowledge, and certain with conscience of the idol, till now, as a thing sacrificed to an idol do eat it, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

¹⁰ for if any one may see thee that hast knowledge in an idol's temple reclining at meat—shall not his conscience—he being infirm—be emboldened to eat the things sacrificed to idols,

²⁰ no, but that the things that the nations sacrifice—they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not wish you to come into the fellowship of the demons. ²¹ Ye are not able the cup of the Lord to drink, and the cup of demons; ye are not able of the table of the Lord to partake, and of the table of demons;

²⁷ and if any one of the unbelieving do call you, and ye wish to go, all that is set before you eat, nothing inquiring, because of the conscience;

²⁰ `But I have against thee a few things: That thou dost suffer the woman Jezebel, who is calling herself a prophetess, to teach, and to lead astray, my servants to commit whoredom, and idol-sacrifices to eat;

¹ And there came one of the seven messengers, who were having the seven vials, and he spake with me, saying to me, `Come, I will shew to thee the judgment of the great whore, who is sitting upon the many waters, <sup>2</sup> with whom the kings of the earth did commit whoredom; and made drunk from the wine of her whoredom were those inhabiting the earth;' <sup>3</sup> and he carried me away to a wilderness in the Spirit, and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet-coloured beast, full of names of evil-speaking, having seven heads and ten horns, <sup>4</sup> and the woman was arrayed with purple and scarlet-colour, and gilded with gold, and precious stone, and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and uncleanness of her whoredom, <sup>5</sup> and upon her forehead was a name written: `Secret, Babylon the Great, the Mother of the Whores, and the Abominations of the earth.'

¹ And Israel dwelleth in Shittim, and the people begin to go a-whoring unto daughters of Moab, ² and they call for the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people eat, and bow themselves to their gods,

³ `And thou dost not join in marriage with them; thy daughter thou dost not give to his son, and his daughter thou dost not take to thy son, ⁴ for he doth turn aside thy son from after Me, and they have served other gods, and the anger of Jehovah hath burned against you, and hath destroyed thee hastily.

² of the nations of which Jehovah said unto the sons of Israel, `Ye do not go in to them, and they do not go in to you; surely they turn aside your heart after their gods;' to them hath Solomon cleaved for love. ³ And he hath women, princesses, seven hundred, and concubines three hundred; and his wives turn aside his heart. ⁴ And it cometh to pass, at the time of the old age of Solomon, his wives have turned aside his heart after other gods, and his heart hath not been perfect with Jehovah his God, like the heart of David his father.

² for they have taken of their daughters to them, and to their sons, and the holy seed have mingled themselves among the peoples of the lands, and the hand of the heads and of the seconds have been first in this trespass.'

²³ Also, in those days, I have seen the Jews who have settled women of Ashdod, of Ammon, of Moab.

²⁵ And I strive with them, and declare them vile, and smite certain of them, and pluck off their hair, and cause them to swear by God, `Ye do not give your daughters to their sons, nor do ye take of their daughters to your sons, and to yourselves.

¹⁴ Become not yoked with others—unbelievers, for what partaking is there to righteousness and lawlessness? ¹⁵ and what fellowship to light with darkness? and what concord to Christ with Belial? or what part to a believer with an unbeliever? ¹⁶ and what agreement to the sanctuary of God with idols? for ye are a sanctuary of the living God, according as God said—`I will dwell in them, and will walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be My people, ¹⁷ wherefore, come ye forth out of the midst of them, and be separated, saith the Lord, and an unclean thing do not touch, and I—I will receive you,

⁸ they have turned aside hastily from the way that I have commanded them; they have made for themselves a molten calf, and bow themselves to it, and sacrifice to it, and say, These thy gods, O Israel, who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.'

⁴ `Ye do not turn unto the idols, and a molten god ye do not make to yourselves; I am Jehovah your God.

⁶ —They are pouring out gold from a bag, And silver on the beam they weigh, They hire a refiner, and he maketh it a god, They fall down, yea, they bow themselves. ⁷ They lift him up on the shoulder, They carry him, and cause him to rest in his place, And he standeth, from his place he moveth not, Yea, one crieth unto him, and he answereth not, From his adversity he saveth him not.

¹⁴ Brutish is every man by knowledge, Put to shame is every refiner by a graven image, For false is his molten image. And there is no breath in them.

²⁹ `Being, therefore, offspring of God, we ought not to think the Godhead to be like to gold, or silver, or stone, graving of art and device of man;

²⁶ and ye see and hear, that not only at Ephesus, but almost in all Asia, this Paul, having persuaded, did turn away a great multitude, saying, that they are not gods who are made by hands;

² `This month is to you the chief of months—it is the first to you of the months of the year;

¹⁵ Seven days ye eat unleavened things; only—in the first day ye cause leaven to cease out of your houses; for any one eating anything fermented from the first day till the seventh day, even that person hath been cut off from Israel. ¹⁶ `And in the first day is a holy convocation, and in the seventh day ye have a holy convocation; any work is not done in them, only that which is eaten by any person—it alone is done by you, <sup>17</sup> and ye have observed the unleavened things, for in this self-same day I have brought out your hosts from the land of Egypt, and ye have observed this day to your generations—a statute age-during. <sup>18</sup> `In the first month, in the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, ye do eat unleavened things until the one and twentieth day of the month, at evening; ¹⁹ seven days leaven is not found in your houses, for any one eating anything fermented—that person hath been cut off from the company of Israel, among the sojourners or among the natives of the land; ²⁰ anything fermented ye do not eat, in all your dwellings ye do eat unleavened things.'

⁴ To-day ye are going out, in the month of Abib.

⁶ `Seven days thou dost eat unleavened things, and in the seventh day is a feast to Jehovah; ⁷ unleavened things are eaten the seven days, and any thing fermented is not seen with thee; yea, leaven is not seen with thee in all thy border.

¹⁵ the Feast of Unleavened things thou dost keep; seven days thou dost eat unleavened things, as I have commanded thee, at the time appointed in the month of Abib; for in it thou hast come forth out of Egypt, and ye do not appear in My presence empty;

⁶ and on the fifteenth day of this month is the feast of unleavened things to Jehovah; seven days unleavened things ye do eat;

¹ `Observe the month of Abib—and thou hast made a passover to Jehovah thy God, for in the month of Abib hath Jehovah thy God brought thee out of Egypt by night; <sup>2</sup> and thou hast sacrificed a passover to Jehovah thy God, of the flock, and of the herd, in the place which Jehovah doth choose to cause His name to tabernacle there. <sup>3</sup> `Thou dost not eat with it any fermented thing, seven days thou dost eat with it unleavened things, bread of affliction; for in haste thou hast come out of the land of Egypt; so that thou dost remember the day of thy coming out of the land of Egypt all days of thy life; ⁴ and there is not seen with thee leaven in all thy border seven days, and there doth not remain of the flesh which thou dost sacrifice at evening on the first day till morning.

¹ And the passover and the unleavened food were after two days, and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how, by guile, having taken hold of him, they might kill him;

¹ And the feast of the unleavened food was coming nigh, that is called Passover,

³ and having seen that it is pleasing to the Jews, he added to lay hold of Peter also—and they were the days of the unleavened food—

² `Sanctify to Me every first-born, opening any womb among the sons of Israel, among man and among beast; it is Mine.'

¹² that thou hast caused every one opening a womb to pass over to Jehovah, and every firstling—the increase of beasts which thou hast: the males are Jehovah's.

²⁹ `Thy fulness and thy liquids thou dost not delay; the first-born of thy sons thou dost give to Me;

¹⁵ every one opening a womb of all flesh which they bring near to Jehovah, among man and among beast, is thine; only, thou dost certainly ransom the first-born of man, and the firstling of the unclean beast thou dost ransom. ¹⁶ `And their ransomed ones from a son of a month, thou dost ransom with thy valuation, of silver, five shekels, by the shekel of the sanctuary, twenty gerahs it is . <sup>17</sup> `Only, the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou dost not ransom, holy they are : their blood thou dost sprinkle on the altar, and of their fat thou makest perfume, a fire-offering of sweet fragrance to Jehovah,

³⁰ And the first of all the first-fruits of all, and every heave-offering of all, of all your heave-offerings, are the priests': and the first of your dough ye give to the priest, to cause a blessing to rest on thy house.

²³ as it hath been written in the Law of the Lord, —`Every male opening a womb shall be called holy to the Lord,'

¹⁰ and thou hast kept this statute at its appointed season from days to days.

¹³ `And every firstling of an ass thou dost ransom with a lamb, and if thou dost not ransom it, then thou hast beheaded it: and every first-born of man among thy sons thou dost ransom.

¹⁵ yea, it cometh to pass, when Pharaoh hath been pained to send us away, that Jehovah doth slay every first-born in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of man even unto the first-born of beast; therefore I am sacrificing to Jehovah all opening a womb who are males, and every first-born of my sons I ransom;

⁴⁵ `Take the Levites instead of every first-born among the sons of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites have been Mine; I am Jehovah. <sup>46</sup> `And from those ransomed of the two hundred and seventy and three (who are more than the Levites) of the first-born of the sons of Israel, ⁴⁷ thou hast even taken five shekels a-piece by the poll—by the shekel of the sanctuary thou takest; twenty gerahs the shekel is; ⁴⁸ and thou hast given the money to Aaron, and to his sons, whereby those over and above are ransomed.' ⁴⁹ And Moses taketh the ransom money from those over and above those ransomed by the Levites; ⁵⁰ from the first-born of the sons of Israel he hath taken the money, a thousand and three hundred and sixty and five—by the shekel of the sanctuary; ⁵¹ and Moses giveth the money of those ransomed to Aaron, and to his sons, according to the command of Jehovah, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

¹⁵ every one opening a womb of all flesh which they bring near to Jehovah, among man and among beast, is thine; only, thou dost certainly ransom the first-born of man, and the firstling of the unclean beast thou dost ransom.

¹⁶ `Three times in a year doth every one of thy males appear before Jehovah thy God in the place which He doth choose—in the feast of unleavened things, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of booths; and they do not appear before Jehovah empty;

⁷ And Saul saith to his young man, `And lo, we go, and what do we bring in to the man? for the bread hath gone from our vessels, and a present there is not to bring in to the man of God—what is with us?' <sup>8</sup> And the young man addeth to answer Saul, and saith, `Lo, there is found with me a fourth of a shekel of silver: and I have given to the man of God, and he hath declared to us our way.'

²⁴ And the king saith unto Araunah, `Nay, for I do surely buy from thee for a price, and I do not cause to ascend to Jehovah my God burnt-offerings for nought;' and David buyeth the threshing-floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver,

⁶ `Because these two years the famine is in the heart of the land, and yet are five years, in which there is neither ploughing nor harvest;

⁹ six days thou dost labour, and hast done all thy work, ¹⁰ and the seventh day is a Sabbath to Jehovah thy God; thou dost not do any work, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and thy cattle, and thy sojourner who is within thy gates, — ¹¹ for six days hath Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and resteth in the seventh day; therefore hath Jehovah blessed the Sabbath-day, and doth sanctify it.

¹² `Six days thou dost do thy work, and on the seventh day thou dost rest, so that thine ox and thine ass doth rest, and the son of thine handmaid and the sojourner is refreshed;

² Six days is work done, and on the seventh day there is to you a holy day, a sabbath of rest to Jehovah; any who doeth work in it is put to death;

¹² `Observe the day of the sabbath—to sanctify it, as Jehovah thy God hath commanded thee; ¹³ six days thou dost labour, and hast done all thy work, ¹⁴ and the seventh day is a sabbath to Jehovah thy God; thou dost not do any work, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and thine ox, and thine ass, and all thy cattle, and thy sojourner who is within thy gates; so that thy man-servant, and thy handmaid doth rest like thyself; ¹⁵ and thou hast remembered that a servant thou hast been in the land of Egypt, and Jehovah thy God is bringing thee out thence by a strong hand, and by a stretched-out arm; therefore hath Jehovah thy God commanded thee to keep the day of the sabbath.

⁴ and the elders of that city have brought down the heifer unto a hard valley, which is not tilled nor sown, and have beheaded there the heifer in the valley.

¹² also to appoint for himself heads of thousands, and heads of fifties; also to plow his plowing, and to reap his reaping; and to make instruments of his war, and instruments of his charioteer.

²⁴ And the oxen and the young asses serving the ground, Fermented provender do eat, That one is winnowing with shovel and fan.

¹⁴ And the chief of the synagogue answering—much displeased that on the sabbath Jesus healed—said to the multitude, `Six days there are in which it behoveth us to be working; in these, then, coming, be healed, and not on the sabbath-day.'

⁵⁶ and having turned back, they made ready spices and ointments, and on the sabbath, indeed, they rested, according to the command.

¹⁶ and the Feast of Harvest, the first fruits of thy works which thou sowest in the field; and the Feast of the In-Gathering, in the outgoing of the year, in thy gathering thy works out of the field.

¹⁶ `And in the first month, in the fourteenth day of the month, is the passover to Jehovah; <sup>17</sup> and in the fifteenth day of this month is a festival, seven days unleavened food is eaten; <sup>18</sup> in the first day is an holy convocation, ye do no servile work, <sup>19</sup> and ye have brought near a fire-offering, a burnt-offering to Jehovah: two bullocks, sons of the herd, and one ram, and seven lambs, sons of a year, perfect ones they are for you; <sup>20</sup> and their present, flour mixed with oil, three-tenth deals for a bullock, and two-tenth deals for a ram ye do prepare; <sup>21</sup> a several tenth deal thou preparest for the one lamb, for the seven lambs, <sup>22</sup> and one goat, a sin-offering, to make atonement for you. <sup>23</sup> `Apart from the burnt-offering of the morning, which is for the continual burnt-offering, ye prepare these; ²⁴ according to these ye prepare daily, seven days, bread of a fire-offering, a sweet fragrance, to Jehovah; besides the continual burnt-offering it is prepared, and its libation; ²⁵ and on the seventh day a holy convocation ye have, ye do no servile work. ²⁶ `And in the day of the first-fruits, in your bringing near a new present to Jehovah, in your weeks, a holy convocation ye have; ye do no servile work; ²⁷ and ye have brought near a burnt-offering for sweet fragrance to Jehovah: two bullocks, sons of the herd, one ram, seven lambs, sons of a year, ²⁸ and their present, flour mixed with oil, three-tenth deals to the one bullock, two-tenth deals to the one ram, ²⁹ a several tenth deal to the one lamb, for the seven lambs; ³⁰ one kid of the goats to make atonement for you; ³¹ apart from the continual burnt-offering and its present ye prepare them (perfect ones they are for you) and their libations.

¹² `And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month a holy convocation ye have; ye do no servile work; and ye have celebrated a festival to Jehovah seven days, <sup>13</sup> and have brought near a burnt-offering, a fire-offering, a sweet fragrance, to Jehovah; thirteen bullocks, sons of the herd, two rams, fourteen lambs, sons of a year; perfect ones they are; <sup>14</sup> and their present, flour mixed with oil, three-tenth deals to the one bullock, for the thirteen bullocks, two-tenth deals to the one ram, for the two rams, <sup>15</sup> and a several tenth deal to the one lamb, for the fourteen lambs, <sup>16</sup> and one kid of the goats, a sin-offering; apart from the continual burnt-offering, its present, and its libation. <sup>17</sup> `And on the second day twelve bullocks, sons of the herd, two rams, fourteen lambs, sons of a year, perfect ones; ¹⁸ and their present, and their libations, for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the sheep, in their number, according to the ordinance; ¹⁹ and one kid of the goats, a sin-offering; apart from the continual burnt-offering, and its present, and their libations. ²⁰ `And on the third day eleven bullocks, two rams, fourteen lambs, sons of a year, perfect ones; <sup>21</sup> and their present, and their libations, for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, in their number, according to the ordinance; <sup>22</sup> and one goat, a sin-offering; apart from the continual burnt-offering, and its present, and its libation. <sup>23</sup> `And on the fourth day ten bullocks, two rams, fourteen lambs, sons of a year, perfect ones; ²⁴ their present, and their libations, for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, in their number, according to the ordinance; ²⁵ and one kid of the goats, a sin-offering, apart from the continual burnt-offering, its present, and its libation. ²⁶ `And on the fifth day nine bullocks, two rams, fourteen lambs, sons of a year, perfect ones; <sup>27</sup> and their present, and their libations, for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, in their number, according to the ordinance; <sup>28</sup> and one goat, a sin-offering; apart from the continual burnt-offering, and its present, and its libation. <sup>29</sup> `And on the sixth day eight bullocks, two rams, fourteen lambs, sons of a year, perfect ones; ³⁰ and their present, and their libations, for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, in their number, according to the ordinance; ³¹ and one goat, a sin-offering; apart from the continual burnt-offering, its present, and its libation. ³² `And on the seventh day seven bullocks, two rams, fourteen lambs, sons of a year, perfect ones; <sup>33</sup> and their present, and their libations, for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, in their number, according to the ordinance; <sup>34</sup> and one goat, a sin-offering; apart from the continual burnt-offering, its present, and its libation. <sup>35</sup> `On the eighth day a restraint ye have, ye do no servile work; ³⁶ and ye have brought near a burnt-offering, a fire-offering, a sweet fragrance, to Jehovah; one bullock, one ram, seven lambs, sons of a year, perfect ones; ³⁷ their present, and their libations, for the bullock, for the ram, and for the lambs, in their number, according to the ordinance; ³⁸ and one goat, a sin-offering; apart from the continual burnt-offering, and its present, and its libation. ³⁹ `These ye prepare to Jehovah in your appointed seasons, apart from your vows, and your free-will offerings, for your burnt-offerings, and for your presents, and for your libations, and for your peace-offerings.'

¹⁰ and thou hast made the feast of weeks to Jehovah thy God, a tribute of a free-will offering of thy hand, which thou dost give, as Jehovah thy God doth bless thee. ¹¹ And thou hast rejoiced before Jehovah thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and the Levite who is within thy gates, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who are in thy midst, in the place which Jehovah thy God doth choose to cause His name to tabernacle there, ¹² and thou hast remembered that a servant thou hast been in Egypt, and hast observed and done these statutes. ¹³ `The feast of booths thou dost make for thee seven days, in thine in-gathering of thy threshing-floor, and of thy wine-vat; ¹⁴ and thou hast rejoiced in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and the Levite, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who are within thy gates. ¹⁵ Seven days thou dost feast before Jehovah thy God, in the place which Jehovah doth choose, for Jehovah thy God doth bless thee in all thine increase, and in every work of thy hands, and thou hast been only rejoicing.

² and the feast of the Jews was nigh—that of tabernacles—

¹ And in the day of the Pentecost being fulfilled, they were all with one accord at the same place,

²⁸ And he saith, `Thy name is no more called Jacob, but Israel; for thou hast been a prince with God and with men, and dost prevail.'

²⁰ and he setteth up there an altar, and proclaimeth at it God—the God of Israel.

¹⁴ `Three times thou dost keep a feast to Me in a year;

¹⁷ `Three times in a year do all thy males appear before the face of the Lord Jehovah.

⁷ They go from strength unto strength, He appeareth unto God in Zion.

⁵ and they journey, and the terror of God is on the cities which are round about them, and they have not pursued after the sons of Jacob.

²⁷ My terror I send before thee, and I have put to death all the people among whom thou comest, and I have given the neck of all thine enemies unto thee. ²⁸ `And I have sent the hornet before thee, and it hath cast out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee; <sup>29</sup> I cast them not out from before thee in one year, lest the land be a desolation, and the beast of the field hath multiplied against thee; <sup>30</sup> little by little I cast them out from before thee, till thou art fruitful, and hast inherited the land. <sup>31</sup> `And I have set thy border from the Red Sea, even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness unto the River: for I give into your hand the inhabitants of the land, and thou hast cast them out from before thee;

¹¹ `Observe for thyself that which I am commanding thee to-day: lo, I am casting out from before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite;

²⁴ `Ye are not defiled with all these, for with all these have the nations been defiled which I am sending away from before you;

¹ `When Jehovah thy God doth bring thee in unto the land whither thou art going in to possess it, and He hath cast out many nations from thy presence, the Hittite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, seven nations more numerous and mighty than thou,

²⁰ `When Jehovah thy God doth enlarge thy border, as He hath spoken to thee, and thou hast said, Let me eat flesh—for thy soul desireth to eat flesh—of all the desire of thy soul thou dost eat flesh.

⁸ `And if Jehovah thy God doth enlarge thy border, as He hath sworn to thy fathers, and hath given to thee all the land which He hath spoken to give to thy fathers—

¹⁰ And Jabez calleth to the God of Israel, saying, `If blessing Thou dost bless me, then Thou hast made great my border, and Thy hand hath been with me, and Thou hast kept me from evil—not to grieve me;' and God bringeth in that which he asked.

¹⁰ And here is a fear of Jehovah on all kingdoms of the lands that are round about Judah, and they have not fought with Jehoshaphat;

¹⁰ Hast not Thou made a hedge for him, and for his house, and for all that he hath—round about?

⁵⁵ And casteth out nations from before them, And causeth them to fall in the line of inheritance, And causeth the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents,

⁸ A vine out of Egypt Thou dost bring, Thou dost cast out nations, and plantest it.

⁷ When a man's ways please Jehovah, even his enemies, He causeth to be at peace with him.

¹⁰ because I am with thee, and no one shall set on thee to do thee evil; because I have much people in this city;'

⁸ `And they have eaten the flesh in this night, roast with fire; with unleavened things and bitters they do eat it;

¹⁰ and ye do not leave of it till morning, and that which is remaining of it till morning with fire ye do burn.

²⁰ anything fermented ye do not eat, in all your dwellings ye do eat unleavened things.'

¹⁸ `Thou dost not sacrifice on a fermented thing the blood of My sacrifice, and the fat of My festival doth not remain till morning;

³⁴ and if there be left of the flesh of the consecration or of the bread till the morning, then thou hast burned that which is left with fire; it is not eaten, for it is holy.

¹⁵ as to the flesh of the sacrifice of the thank-offering of his peace-offerings, in the day of his offering it is eaten; he doth not leave of it till morning.

¹² they do not leave of till morning; and a bone they do not break in it: according to all the statute of the passover they prepare it.

³ `Thou dost not eat with it any fermented thing, seven days thou dost eat with it unleavened things, bread of affliction; for in haste thou hast come out of the land of Egypt; so that thou dost remember the day of thy coming out of the land of Egypt all days of thy life;

⁷ cleanse out, therefore, the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, according as ye are unleavened, for also our passover for us was sacrificed—Christ, ⁸ so that we may keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of evil and wickedness, but with unleavened food of sincerity and truth.

¹⁹ the beginning of the first-fruits of thy ground thou dost bring into the house of Jehovah thy God; thou dost not boil a kid in its mother's milk.

²¹ `Ye do not eat of any carcase; to the sojourner who is within thy gates thou dost give it, and he hath eaten it; or sell it to a stranger; for a holy people thou art to Jehovah thy God; thou dost not boil a kid in its mother's milk.

² that thou hast taken of the first of all the fruits of the ground which thou dost bring in out of thy land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, and hast put it in a basket, and gone unto the place which Jehovah thy God doth choose to cause His name to tabernacle there.

¹⁰ `And now, lo, I have brought in the first of the fruits of the ground which thou hast given to me, O Jehovah; —and thou hast placed it before Jehovah thy God, and bowed thyself before Jehovah thy God,

⁹ Honour Jehovah from thy substance, And from the beginning of all thine increase; ¹⁰ And filled are thy barns with plenty, And with new wine thy presses break forth.

³³ but seek ye first the reign of God and His righteousness, and all these shall be added to you.

²⁰ And now, Christ hath risen out of the dead—the first-fruits of those sleeping he became,

¹⁸ having counselled, He did beget us with a word of truth, for our being a certain first-fruit of His creatures.

¹⁴ And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Write this, a memorial in a Book, and set it in the ears of Joshua, that I do utterly wipe away the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens;'

⁴ And Moses writeth all the words of Jehovah, and riseth early in the morning, and buildeth an altar under the hill, and twelve standing pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel;

⁷ and he taketh the Book of the Covenant, and proclaimeth in the ears of the people, and they say, `All that which Jehovah hath spoken we do, and obey.'

⁹ And Moses writeth this law, and giveth it unto the priests (sons of Levi, those bearing the ark of the covenant of Jehovah), and unto all the elders of Israel,

¹⁸ and Moses goeth into the midst of the cloud, and goeth up unto the mount, and Moses is on the mount forty days and forty nights.

¹ And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Hew for thyself two tables of stone like the first, and I have written on the tables the words which were on the first tables which thou hast broken;

⁹ `In my going up into the mount to receive the tables of stone (tables of the covenant which Jehovah hath made with you), and I abide in the mount forty days and forty nights; bread I have not eaten, and water I have not drunk;

¹⁸ and I throw myself before Jehovah, as at first, forty days and forty nights; bread I have not eaten, and water I have not drunk, because of all your sins which ye have sinned, by doing the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, to make Him angry.

⁷ and if the ministration of the death, in letters, engraved in stones, came in glory, so that the sons of Israel were not able to look stedfastly to the face of Moses, because of the glory of his face—which was being made useless,

¹⁵ And the sons of Israel see, and say one unto another, `What is it?' for they have not known what it is; and Moses saith unto them, `It is the bread which Jehovah hath given to you for food.

¹⁵ And Moses turneth, and goeth down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony are in his hand, tables written on both their sides, on this and on that are they written;

⁴ And the woman taketh the two men, and hideth them, and saith thus: `The men came in unto me, and I have not known whence they are;

¹⁴ And it cometh to pass, when the king of Ai seeth it, that hasten, and rise early, and go out do the men of the city to meet Israel for battle, he and all his people, at the appointed season, at the front of the plain, and he hath not known that an ambush is against him, on the rear of the city.

²⁰ and she saith, `Philistines are upon thee, Samson;' and he awaketh out of his sleep, and saith, `I go out as time by time, and shake myself;' and he hath not known that Jehovah hath turned aside from off him.

² and he was transfigured before them, and his face shone as the sun, and his garments did become white as the light,

⁶ for he was not knowing what he might say, for they were greatly afraid.

⁴⁰ and having returned, he found them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy, and they had not known what they might answer him.

⁴⁹ And he said unto them, `Why is it that ye were seeking me? did ye not know that in the things of my Father it behoveth me to be?'

²⁹ and it came to pass, in his praying, the appearance of his face became altered, and his garment white—sparkling.

¹³ But he that was healed had not known who he is, for Jesus did move away, a multitude being in the place.

¹⁵ and gazing at him, all those sitting in the sanhedrim saw his face as it were the face of a messenger.

⁹ and having gone forth, he was following him, and he knew not that it is true that which is done through the messenger, and was thinking he saw a vision,

⁵ and Paul said, `I did not know, brethren, that he is chief priest: for it hath been written, Of the ruler of thy people thou shalt not speak evil;'

⁷ and if the ministration of the death, in letters, engraved in stones, came in glory, so that the sons of Israel were not able to look stedfastly to the face of Moses, because of the glory of his face—which was being made useless, ⁸ how shall the ministration of the Spirit not be more in glory? ⁹ for if the ministration of the condemnation is glory, much more doth the ministration of the righteousness abound in glory;

¹³ and are not as Moses, who was putting a vail upon his own face, for the sons of Israel not stedfastly to look to the end of that which is being made useless,

¹⁶ and having in his right hand seven stars, and out of his mouth a sharp two-edged sword is proceeding, and his countenance is as the sun shining in its might.

¹ And I saw another strong messenger coming down out of the heaven, arrayed with a cloud, and a rainbow upon the head, and his face as the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire,

⁸ mouth unto mouth I speak with him, and by an appearance, and not in riddles; and the form of Jehovah he beholdeth attentively; and wherefore have ye not been afraid to speak against My servant—against Moses?'

³ and his garments became glittering, white exceedingly, as snow, so as a fuller upon the earth is not able to whiten them .

¹⁵ and immediately, all the multitude having seen him, were amazed, and running near, were saluting him.

⁸ And Simon Peter having seen, fell down at the knees of Jesus, saying, `Depart from me, because I am a sinful man, O lord;'

³ And Joseph saith unto his brethren, `I am Joseph, is my father yet alive?' and his brethren have not been able to answer him, for they have been troubled at his presence.

¹⁵ and he kisseth all his brethren, and weepeth over them; and afterwards have his brethren spoken with him.

¹⁵ And God saith again unto Moses, `Thus dost thou say unto the sons of Israel, Jehovah, God of your fathers, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you; this is My name—to the age, and this My memorial, to generation—generation.

¹ And unto Moses He said, `Come up unto Jehovah, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and ye have bowed yourselves afar off;' <sup>2</sup> and Moses hath drawn nigh by himself unto Jehovah; and they draw not nigh, and the people go not up with him. <sup>3</sup> And Moses cometh in, and recounteth to the people all the words of Jehovah, and all the judgments, and all the people answer—one voice, and say, `All the words which Jehovah hath spoken we do.'

¹ `And these are the judgments which thou dost set before them:

³ And Moses cometh in, and recounteth to the people all the words of Jehovah, and all the judgments, and all the people answer—one voice, and say, `All the words which Jehovah hath spoken we do.'

⁴⁰ so that ye remember and have done all My commands, and ye have been holy to your God;

¹⁴ And Micaiah saith, `Jehovah liveth; surely that which Jehovah saith unto me—it I speak.'

²³ For I—I received from the Lord that which also I did deliver to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was delivered up, took bread,

³ for I delivered to you first, what also I did receive, that Christ died for our sins, according to the Writings,

⁴ For Christ is an end of law for righteousness to every one who is believing,

¹³ and are not as Moses, who was putting a vail upon his own face, for the sons of Israel not stedfastly to look to the end of that which is being made useless, ¹⁴ but their minds were hardened, for unto this day the same vail at the reading of the Old Covenant doth remain unwithdrawn—which in Christ is being made useless— ¹⁵ but till to-day, when Moses is read, a vail upon their heart doth lie, ¹⁶ and whenever they may turn unto the Lord, the vail is taken away. ¹⁷ And the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty; ¹⁸ and we all, with unvailed face, the glory of the Lord beholding in a mirror, to the same image are being transformed, from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

⁴ in whom the god of this age did blind the minds of the unbelieving, that there doth not shine forth to them the enlightening of the good news of the glory of the Christ, who is the image of God; ⁵ for not ourselves do we preach, but Christ Jesus—Lord, and ourselves your servants because of Jesus; ⁶ because it is God who said, Out of darkness light is to shine, who did shine in our hearts, for the enlightening of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

¹⁶ and whenever they may turn unto the Lord, the vail is taken away.

¹⁶ we may come near, then, with freedom, to the throne of the grace, that we may receive kindness, and find grace—for seasonable help.

¹⁹ Having, therefore, brethren, boldness for the entrance into the holy places, in the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ which way he did initiate for us—new and living, through the vail, that is, his flesh— ²¹ and a high priest over the house of God, ²² may we draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, having the hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having the body bathed with pure water;

²⁹ And it cometh to pass, when Moses is coming down from mount Sinai (and the two tables of the testimony are in the hand of Moses in his coming down from the mount), that Moses hath not known that the skin of his face hath shone in His speaking with him, ³⁰ and Aaron seeth—all the sons of Israel also—Moses, and lo, the skin of his face hath shone, and they are afraid of coming nigh unto him.

¹ Who is as the wise? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? The wisdom of man causeth his face to shine, and the hardness of his face is changed.

³ And those teaching do shine as the brightness of the expanse, and those justifying the multitude as stars to the age and for ever.

¹⁶ so let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and may glorify your Father who is in the heavens.

⁴³ `Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the reign of their Father. He who is having ears to hear—let him hear.

³⁵ he was the burning and shining lamp, and ye did will to be glad, for an hour, in his light.

¹⁵ that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God, unblemished in the midst of a generation crooked and perverse, among whom ye do appear as luminaries in the world,
