¹ And there is a great cry of the people and their wives, concerning their brethren the Jews, ² yea, there are who are saying, `Our sons, and our daughters, we—are many, and we receive corn, and eat, and live.' <sup>3</sup> And there are who are saying, `Our fields, and our vineyards, and our houses, we are pledging, and we receive corn for the famine.' ⁴ And there are who are saying, `We have borrowed money for the tribute of the king, on our fields, and our vineyards; <sup>5</sup> and now, as the flesh of our brethren is our flesh, as their sons are our sons, and lo, we are subduing our sons and our daughters for servants, and there are of our daughters subdued, and our hand hath no might, and our fields and our vineyards are to others.'
<sup>6</sup> And it is very displeasing to me when I have heard their cry and these words, <sup>7</sup> and my heart reigneth over me, and I strive with the freemen, and with the prefects, and say to them, `Usury one upon another ye are exacting;' and I set against them a great assembly, ⁸ and say to them, `We have acquired our brethren the Jews, those sold to the nations, according to the ability that is in us, and ye also sell your brethren, and they have been sold to us!' and they are silent, and have not found a word. <sup>9</sup> And I say, `Not good is the thing that ye are doing; in the fear of our God do ye not walk, because of the reproach of the nations our enemies? ¹⁰ And also, I, my brethren, and my servants, are exacting of them silver and corn; let us leave off, I pray you, this usury. ¹¹ Give back, I pray you, to them, as to-day, their fields, their vineyards, their olive-yards, and their houses, and the hundredth part of the money, and of the corn, of the new wine, and of the oil, that ye are exacting of them.' ¹² And they say, `We give back, and of them we seek nothing; so we do as thou art saying.'

¹⁹ For he oppressed—he forsook the poor, A house he hath taken violently away, And he doth not build it.

⁹ Widows thou hast sent away empty, And the arms of the fatherless are bruised.

² The borders they reach, A drove they have taken violently away, Yea, they do evil. ³ The ass of the fatherless they lead away, They take in pledge the ox of the widow, ⁴ They turn aside the needy from the way, Together have hid the poor of the earth. ⁵ Lo, wild asses in a wilderness, They have gone out about their work, Seeking early for prey, A mixture for himself—food for young ones. ⁶ In a field his provender they reap, And the vineyard of the wicked they glean. ⁷ The naked they cause to lodge Without clothing. And there is no covering in the cold. ⁸ From the inundation of hills they are wet, And without a refuge—have embraced a rock. ⁹ They take violently away From the breast the orphan, And on the poor they lay a pledge. ¹⁰ Naked, they have gone without clothing, And hungry—have taken away a sheaf. ¹¹ Between their walls they make oil, Wine-presses they have trodden, and thirst. ¹² Because of enmity men do groan, And the soul of pierced ones doth cry, And God doth not give praise.

⁶ and hast said unto the rebellious, unto the house of Israel: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Enough to you—of all your abominations, O house of Israel.

¹ Woe to those devising iniquity, And working evil on their beds, In the light of the morning they do it, For their hand is—to God. ² And they have desired fields, And they have taken violently, And houses, and they have taken away, And have oppressed a man and his house, Even a man and his inheritance.

⁹ The women of My people ye cast out from its delightful house, From its sucklings ye take away My honour to the age.

¹⁶ These are the things that ye do: Speak ye truth each with his neighbour, Truth and peaceful judgment judge in your gates,

³⁵ `Ye do not do perversity in judgment, in mete-yard, in weight, or in liquid measure; ³⁶ righteous balances, righteous weights, a righteous ephah, and a righteous hin ye have; I am Jehovah your God, who hath brought you out from the land of Egypt;

¹⁵ Thou hast a stone complete and just, thou hast an ephah complete and just, so that they prolong thy days on the ground which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee;

¹ Balances of deceit are an abomination to Jehovah, And a perfect weight is His delight.

¹¹ A just beam and balances are Jehovah's, His work are all the stones of the bag.

¹⁰ A stone and a stone, an ephah and an ephah, Even both of them are an abomination to Jehovah.

³ To do righteousness and judgment, Is chosen of Jehovah rather than sacrifice.

¹⁰ For ten acres of vineyard do yield one bath, And an homer of seed yieldeth an ephah.

⁴ Hear this, ye who are swallowing up the needy, To cause to cease the poor of the land, ⁵ Saying, When doth the new moon pass, And we sell ground corn? And the sabbath, and we open out pure corn? To make little the ephah, And to make great the shekel, And to use perversely balances of deceit. ⁶ To purchase with money the poor, And the needy for a pair of sandals, Yea, the refuse of the pure corn we sell.

¹⁰ Are there yet in the house of the wicked Treasures of wickedness, And the abhorred scanty ephah? ¹¹ Do I reckon it pure with balances of wickedness? And with a bag of deceitful stones?

¹³ `This they do give, every one passing over unto those numbered, half a shekel, by the shekel of the sanctuary (the shekel is twenty gerahs); half a shekel is the heave-offering to Jehovah;

²⁵ And all thy valuation is by the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs is the shekel.

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;

⁴ and he hath laid his hand on the head of the burnt-offering, and it hath been accepted for him to make atonement for him;

³⁰ and no sin-offering, any of whose blood is brought in unto the tent of meeting to make atonement in the sanctuary is eaten; with fire it is burnt.

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.

²⁴ `Seventy weeks are determined for thy people, and for thy holy city, to shut up the transgression, and to seal up sins, and to cover iniquity, and to bring in righteousness age-during, and to seal up vision and prophet, and to anoint the holy of holies.

⁸ And when ye bring nigh the blind for sacrifice, `There is no evil,' And when ye bring nigh the lame and sick, `There is no evil;' Bring it near, I pray thee, to thy governor—Doth he accept thee? or doth he lift up thy face? Said Jehovah of Hosts.

¹⁴ And cursed is a deceiver, who hath in his drove a male, And is vowing, and is sacrificing a marred thing to the Lord, For a great king am I, said Jehovah of Hosts, And My name is revered among nations!

¹⁰ for if, being enemies, we have been reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved in his life.

¹⁹ how that God was in Christ—a world reconciling to Himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses; and having put in us the word of the reconciliation, ²⁰ in behalf of Christ, then, we are ambassadors, as if God were calling through us, we beseech, in behalf of Christ, `Be ye reconciled to God;' ²¹ for him who did not know sin, in our behalf He did make sin, that we may become the righteousness of God in him.

¹⁶ and might reconcile both in one body to God through the cross, having slain the enmity in it,

²¹ And you—once being alienated, and enemies in the mind, in the evil works, yet now did he reconcile,

¹⁷ wherefore it did behove him in all things to be made like to the brethren, that he might become a kind and stedfast chief-priest in the things with God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people,

²² and with blood almost all things are purified according to the law, and apart from blood-shedding forgiveness doth not come.
²³ It is necessary, therefore, the pattern indeed of the things in the heavens to be purified with these, and the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these;

¹⁴ every one passing over unto those numbered, from a son of twenty years and upwards, doth give the heave-offering of Jehovah; ¹⁵ the rich doth not multiply, and the poor doth not diminish from the half-shekel, to give the heave-offering of Jehovah, to make atonement for your souls.

¹ Send ye a lamb to the ruler of the land, From Selah in the wilderness, Unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.

¹ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, ² `Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, Appointed seasons of Jehovah, which ye proclaim, holy convocations, are these: they are My appointed seasons: <sup>3</sup> six days is work done, and in the seventh day is a sabbath of rest, a holy convocation; ye do no work; it is a sabbath to Jehovah in all your dwellings.
<sup>4</sup> `These are appointed seasons of Jehovah, holy convocations, which ye proclaim in their appointed seasons: ⁵ in the first month, on the fourteenth of the month, between the evenings, is the passover to Jehovah; ⁶ and on the fifteenth day of this month is the feast of unleavened things to Jehovah; seven days unleavened things ye do eat; ⁷ on the first day ye have a holy convocation, ye do no servile work; ⁸ and ye have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah seven days; in the seventh day is a holy convocation; ye do no servile work.' ⁹ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, ¹⁰ `Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, When ye come in unto the land which I am giving to you, and have reaped its harvest, and have brought in the sheaf, the beginning of your harvest unto the priest, <sup>11</sup> then he hath waved the sheaf before Jehovah for your acceptance; on the morrow of the sabbath doth the priest wave it. <sup>12</sup> `And ye have prepared in the day of your waving the sheaf a lamb, a perfect one, a son of a year, for a burnt-offering to Jehovah, ¹³ and its present two tenth deals of flour mixed with oil, a fire-offering to Jehovah, a sweet fragrance, and its drink-offering, wine, a fourth of the hin. ¹⁴ `And bread and roasted corn and full ears ye do not eat until this self-same day, until your bringing in the offering of your God—a statute age-during to your generations, in all your dwellings.
<sup>15</sup> `And ye have numbered to you from the morrow of the sabbath, from the day of your bringing in the sheaf of the wave-offering: they are seven perfect sabbaths; ¹⁶ unto the morrow of the seventh sabbath ye do number fifty days, and ye have brought near a new present to Jehovah; ¹⁷ out of your dwellings ye bring in bread of a wave-offering, two loaves, of two tenth deals of flour they are, with yeast they are baken, first-fruits to Jehovah. ¹⁸ `And ye have brought near, besides the bread, seven lambs, perfect ones, sons of a year, and one bullock, a son of the herd, and two rams; they are a burnt-offering to Jehovah, with their present and their libations, a fire-offering of sweet fragrance to Jehovah. <sup>19</sup> `And ye have prepared one kid of the goats for a sin-offering, and two lambs, sons of a year, for a sacrifice of peace-offerings, ²⁰ and the priest hath waved them, besides the bread of the first-fruits —a wave-offering before Jehovah, besides the two lambs; they are holy to Jehovah for the priest; ²¹ and ye have proclaimed on this self-same day: a holy convocation is to you, ye do no servile work—a statute age-during in all your dwellings, to your generations. ²² `And in your reaping the harvest of your land thou dost not complete the corner of thy field in thy reaping, and the gleaning of thy harvest thou dost not gather, to the poor and to the sojourner thou dost leave them; I Jehovah am your God.'
<sup>23</sup> And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, <sup>24</sup> `Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, on the first of the month, ye have a sabbath, a memorial of shouting, a holy convocation; ²⁵ ye do no servile work, and ye have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah.' ²⁶ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, ²⁷ `Only—on the tenth of this seventh month is a day of atonements; ye have a holy convocation, and ye have humbled yourselves, and have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah; <sup>28</sup> and ye do no work in this self-same day, for it is a day of atonements, to make atonement for you, before Jehovah your God. <sup>29</sup> `For any person who is not humbled in this self-same day hath even been cut off from his people; ³⁰ and any person who doth any work in this self-same day I have even destroyed that person from the midst of his people; ³¹ ye do no work—a statute age-during to your generations in all your dwellings. ³² It is a sabbath of rest to you, and ye have humbled yourselves in the ninth of the month at even; from evening till evening ye do keep your sabbath.'
³³ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, ³⁴ `Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, In the fifteenth day of this seventh month is a feast of booths seven days to Jehovah; <sup>35</sup> on the first day is a holy convocation, ye do no servile work, <sup>36</sup> seven days ye bring near a fire-offering to Jehovah, on the eighth day ye have a holy convocation, and ye have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah; it is a restraint, ye do no servile work. <sup>37</sup> `These are appointed seasons of Jehovah, which ye proclaim holy convocations, to bring near a fire-offering to Jehovah, a burnt-offering, and a present, a sacrifice, and libations, a thing of a day in its day, ³⁸ apart from the sabbaths of Jehovah, and apart from your gifts, and apart from all your vows, and apart from all your willing-offerings, which ye give to Jehovah. ³⁹ `Only—in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, in your gathering the increase of the land, ye do keep the feast of Jehovah seven days; on the first day is a sabbath, and on the eighth day a sabbath; <sup>40</sup> and ye have taken to yourselves on the first day the fruit of beautiful trees, branches of palms, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of a brook, and have rejoiced before Jehovah your God seven days. <sup>41</sup> `And ye have kept it a feast to Jehovah, seven days in a year—a statute age-during to your generations; in the seventh month ye keep it a feast. ⁴² `In booths ye dwell seven days; all who are natives in Israel dwell in booths, ⁴³ so that your generations do know that in booths I caused the sons of Israel to dwell; in my bringing them out of the land of Egypt; I, Jehovah, am your God.' ⁴⁴ And Moses speaketh concerning the appointed seasons of Jehovah unto the sons of Israel.

¹ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, ² `Command the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, My offering, My bread for My fire-offerings, My sweet fragrance, ye take heed to bring near to Me in its appointed season. <sup>3</sup> `And thou hast said to them, This is the fire-offering which ye bring near to Jehovah: two lambs, sons of a year, perfect ones, daily, a continual burnt-offering; ⁴ the one lamb thou preparest in the morning, and the second lamb thou preparest between the evenings; ⁵ and a tenth of the ephah of flour for a present, mixed with beaten oil, a fourth of the hin; ⁶ a continual burnt-offering, which was made in mount Sinai, for sweet fragrance, a fire-offering to Jehovah; ⁷ and its libation, a fourth of the hin for the one lamb; in the sanctuary cause thou a libation of strong drink to be poured out to Jehovah. ⁸ `And the second lamb thou dost prepare between the evenings; as the present of the morning, and as its libation thou preparest—a fire-offering, a sweet fragrance to Jehovah.
<sup>9</sup> `And on the sabbath-day, two lambs, sons of a year, perfect ones, and two-tenth deals of flour, a present, mixed with oil, and its libation; ¹⁰ the burnt-offering of the sabbath in its sabbath, besides the continual burnt-offering and its libation. ¹¹ `And in the beginnings of your months ye bring near a burnt-offering to Jehovah: two bullocks, sons of the herd, and one ram, seven lambs, sons of a year, perfect ones; <sup>12</sup> and three-tenth deals of flour, a present, mixed with oil, for the one bullock, and two-tenth deals of flour, a present, mixed with oil, for the one ram; <sup>13</sup> and a several tenth deal of flour, a present, mixed with oil, for the one lamb; a burnt-offering, a sweet fragrance, a fire-offering to Jehovah; <sup>14</sup> and their libations are a half of the hin to a bullock, and a third of the hin to a ram, and a fourth of the hin to a lamb, of wine; this is the burnt-offering of every month for the months of the year; <sup>15</sup> and one kid of the goats for a sin-offering to Jehovah; besides the continual burnt-offering it is prepared, and its libation.
<sup>16</sup> `And in the first month, in the fourteenth day of the month, is the passover to Jehovah; ¹⁷ and in the fifteenth day of this month is a festival, seven days unleavened food is eaten; ¹⁸ in the first day is an holy convocation, ye do no servile work, ¹⁹ 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; ²⁰ and their present, flour mixed with oil, three-tenth deals for a bullock, and two-tenth deals for a ram ye do prepare; ²¹ a several tenth deal thou preparest for the one lamb, for the seven lambs, ²² and one goat, a sin-offering, to make atonement for you. ²³ `Apart from the burnt-offering of the morning, which is for the continual burnt-offering, ye prepare these; <sup>24</sup> 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; <sup>25</sup> and on the seventh day a holy convocation ye have, ye do no servile work. <sup>26</sup> `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;

¹⁹ and he apportioneth to all the people, to all the multitude of Israel, from man even unto woman, to each, one cake of bread, and one eshpar, and one ashisha, and all the people go, each to his house.

⁶³ and Solomon sacrificeth the sacrifice of peace-offerings, which he hath sacrificed to Jehovah, oxen, twenty and two thousand, and sheep, a hundred and twenty thousand; and the king and all the sons of Israel dedicate the house of Jehovah. ⁶⁴ On that day hath the king sanctified the middle of the court that is before the house of Jehovah, for he hath made there the burnt-offering, and the present, and the fat of the peace-offerings; for the altar of brass that is before Jehovah is too little to contain the burnt-offering, and the present, and the fat of the peace-offerings.

² and David ceaseth from offering the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings, and blesseth the people in the name of Jehovah, ³ and giveth a portion to every man of Israel, both man and woman: to each a cake of bread, and a measure of wine, and a grape-cake.

³ `And again, because of my delighting in the house of my God, the substance I have—a peculiar treasure of gold and silver—I have given for the house of my God, even over and above all I have prepared for the house of the sanctuary: ⁴ three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses, ⁵ even gold for things of gold, and silver for those of silver, and for all the work by the hand of artificers; and who is he that is offering willingly to consecrate his hand to-day to Jehovah?' ⁶ And the heads of the fathers, and the heads of the tribes of Israel, and the heads of the thousands, and of the hundreds, even to the heads of the work of the king, offer willingly. ⁷ And they give for the service of the house of God, of gold—talents five thousand, and drams a myriad; and of silver—talents ten thousand, and of brass—a myriad and eight thousand talents; and of iron—a hundred thousand talents; ⁸ and he with whom stones are found hath given to the treasury of the house of Jehovah, by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite. ⁹ And the people rejoice because of their offering willingly, for with a perfect heart they have offered willingly to Jehovah; and also David the king hath rejoiced—great joy.

⁶ and king Solomon and all the company of Israel who are convened unto him before the ark are sacrificing sheep and oxen, that are not counted nor numbered from multitude.

⁴ And the king and all the people are sacrificing a sacrifice before Jehovah, ⁵ and king Solomon sacrificeth the sacrifice of the herd, twenty and two thousand, and of the flock, a hundred and twenty thousand, and the king and all the people dedicate the house of God.

¹² Then hath Solomon caused to ascend burnt-offerings to Jehovah on the altar of Jehovah that he built before the porch, ¹³ even by the matter of a day in its day, to cause to ascend according to the command of Moses, on sabbaths, and on new moons, and on appointed seasons, three times in a year—in the feast of unleavened things, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of booths.

²⁴ for Hezekiah king of Judah hath presented to the assembly a thousand bullocks, and seven thousand sheep; and the heads have presented to the assembly bullocks a thousand, and sheep ten thousand; and priests sanctify themselves in abundance.

³ And a portion of the king, from his substance, is for burnt-offerings, for burnt-offerings of the morning, and of the evening, and the burnt-offerings of sabbaths, and of new moons, and of appointed seasons, as it is written in the law of Jehovah.

⁷ And Josiah lifteth up to the sons of the people a flock of lambs and young goats, the whole for passover-offerings, for every one who is found, to the number of thirty thousand, and oxen three thousand: these are from the substance of the king. ⁸ And his heads, for a willing-offering to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites, have lifted up; Hilkiah, and Zechariah, and Jehiel, leaders in the house of God, to the priests have given for passover-offerings two thousand and six hundred, and oxen three hundred;

⁵ And heads of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin rise, and the priests and the Levites, even every one whose spirit God hath waked, to go up to build the house of Jehovah, that is in Jerusalem;

⁸ `And by me is made a decree concerning that which ye do with the elders of these Jews to build this house of God, that of the riches of the king, that are of the tribute beyond the river, speedily let the outlay be given to these men, that they cease not; 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,

¹⁵ Dried up as an earthen vessel is my power, And my tongue is cleaving to my jaws. ¹⁶ And to the dust of death thou appointest me, For surrounded me have dogs, A company of evil doers have compassed me, Piercing my hands and my feet. ¹⁷ I count all my bones—they look expectingly, They look upon me, ¹⁸ They apportion my garments to themselves, And for my clothing they cause a lot to fall. ¹⁹ And Thou, O Jehovah, be not far off, O my strength, to help me haste. ²⁰ Deliver from the sword my soul, From the paw of a dog mine only one. ²¹ Save me from the mouth of a lion: —And—from the horns of the high places Thou hast answered me!
²² I declare Thy name to my brethren, In the midst of the assembly I praise Thee. ²³ Ye who fear Jehovah, praise ye Him, All the seed of Jacob, honour ye Him, And be afraid of Him, all ye seed of Israel. ²⁴ For He hath not despised, nor abominated, The affliction of the afflicted, Nor hath He hidden His face from him, And in his crying unto Him He heareth. ²⁵ Of Thee my praise is in the great assembly. My vows I complete before His fearers. ²⁶ The humble do eat and are satisfied, Praise Jehovah do those seeking Him, Your heart doth live for ever.

²⁹ And the fat ones of earth have eaten, And they bow themselves, Before Him bow do all going down to dust, And he who hath not revived his soul.

¹⁸ Thou hast ascended on high, Thou hast taken captive captivity, Thou hast taken gifts for men, That even the refractory may rest, O Jah God.

²³ And it hath been from month to month, And from sabbath to sabbath, Come do all flesh to bow themselves before Me, Said Jehovah.

²⁷ And the days are completed, and it hath come to pass on the eighth day, and henceforth, the priests prepare on the altar your burnt-offerings and your peace-offerings, and I have accepted you—an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'

⁴ `And the burnt-offering that the prince bringeth near to Jehovah on the day of rest is six lambs, perfect ones, and a ram, a perfect one. <sup>5</sup> And the present is an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs a present, the gift of his hand, and of oil a hin for an ephah. <sup>6</sup> And on the day of the new moon a bullock, a son of the herd, a perfect one, and six lambs and a ram, they are perfect. <sup>7</sup> And with an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, he prepareth a present, and for the lambs as his hand attaineth, and of oil a hin for an ephah. <sup>8</sup> `And in the coming in of the prince, the way of the porch of the gate he cometh in, and by its way he goeth out. ⁹ And in the coming in of the people of the land before Jehovah at appointed times, he who hath come in the way of the north gate to bow himself, goeth out the way of the south gate, and he who hath come in the way of the south gate, goeth out by the way of the north gate: he doth not turn back the way of the gate by which he came in, but over-against it he goeth out. ¹⁰ And the prince in their midst in their coming in cometh in, and in their going out he goeth out. ¹¹ `And in feasts, and in appointed times, the present is an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and for lambs the gift of his hand, and of oil a hin for an ephah. ¹² And when the prince maketh a free-will burnt-offering, or free-will peace-offerings, to Jehovah, then he hath opened for himself the gate that is looking eastward, and he hath made his burnt-offering and his peace-offerings as he doth in the day of rest, and he hath gone out, and he hath shut the gate after his going out.

¹⁶ and out of his fulness did we all receive, and grace over-against grace;

⁵¹ `I am the living bread that came down out of the heaven; if any one may eat of this bread he shall live—to the age; and the bread also that I will give is my flesh, that I will give for the life of the world.' <sup>52</sup> The Jews, therefore, were striving with one another, saying, `How is this one able to give us his flesh to eat?' ⁵³ Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, If ye may not eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and may not drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves; <sup>54</sup> he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, hath life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day; <sup>55</sup> for my flesh truly is food, and my blood truly is drink; <sup>56</sup> he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, doth remain in me, and I in him. <sup>57</sup> `According as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, he also who is eating me, even that one shall live because of me;

³⁵ or who did first give to Him, and it shall be given back to him again? ³⁶ because of Him, and through Him, and to Him are the all things; to Him is the glory—to the ages. Amen.

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.

² and walk in love, as also the Christ did love us, and did give himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odour of a sweet smell,

¹⁷ and all, whatever ye may do in word or in work, do all things in the name of the Lord Jesus—giving thanks to the God and Father, through him.

¹⁰ we have an altar, of which to eat they have no authority who the tabernacle are serving,

¹⁵ through him, then, we may offer up a sacrifice of praise always to God, that is, the fruit of lips, giving thanks to His name;

²⁴ who our sins himself did bear in his body, upon the tree, that to the sins having died, to the righteousness we may live; by whose stripes ye were healed,

¹⁸ because also Christ once for sin did suffer—righteous for unrighteous—that he might lead us to God, having been put to death indeed, in the flesh, and having been made alive in the spirit,

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

¹⁶ and he hath made atonement for the sanctuary because of the uncleanness of the sons of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins; and so he doth for the tent of meeting which is tabernacling with them in the midst of their uncleannesses.

³³ and he hath made atonement for the holy sanctuary; and for the tent of meeting, even for the altar he doth make atonement; yea, for the priests, and for all the people of the assembly he maketh atonement.

²⁰ nothing in which is blemish do ye bring near, for it is not for a pleasing thing for you.

¹¹ `And in the beginnings of your months ye bring near a burnt-offering to Jehovah: two bullocks, sons of the herd, and one ram, seven lambs, sons of a year, perfect ones; ¹² and three-tenth deals of flour, a present, mixed with oil, for the one bullock, and two-tenth deals of flour, a present, mixed with oil, for the one ram; ¹³ and a several tenth deal of flour, a present, mixed with oil, for the one lamb; a burnt-offering, a sweet fragrance, a fire-offering to Jehovah; ¹⁴ and their libations are a half of the hin to a bullock, and a third of the hin to a ram, and a fourth of the hin to a lamb, of wine; this is the burnt-offering of every month for the months of the year; ¹⁵ and one kid of the goats for a sin-offering to Jehovah; besides the continual burnt-offering it is prepared, and its libation.

²² And on the second day thou dost bring near a kid of the goats, a perfect one, for a sin-offering, and they have cleansed the altar, as they cleansed it for the bullock.

²⁶ Seven days they purify the altar, and have cleansed it, and filled their hand.

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

²⁶ For such a chief priest did become us—kind, harmless, undefiled, separate from the sinners, and become higher than the heavens,

¹⁴ how much more shall the blood of the Christ (who through the age-during Spirit did offer himself unblemished to God) purify your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

²² and with blood almost all things are purified according to the law, and apart from blood-shedding forgiveness doth not come.
²³ It is necessary, therefore, the pattern indeed of the things in the heavens to be purified with these, and the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these; ²⁴ for not into holy places made with hands did the Christ enter—figures of the true—but into the heaven itself, now to be manifested in the presence of God for us; ²⁵ nor that he may many times offer himself, even as the chief priest doth enter into the holy places every year with blood of others;

³ but in those sacrifices is a remembrance of sins every year, ⁴ for it is impossible for blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

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;

¹⁹ but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and unspotted—Christ's—

¹⁸ `And he hath gone out unto the altar which is before Jehovah, and hath made atonement for it; and he hath taken of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and hath put on the horns of the altar round about; <sup>19</sup> and he hath sprinkled on it of the blood with his finger seven times, and hath cleansed it, and hath hallowed it from the uncleannesses of the sons of Israel.
<sup>20</sup> `And he hath ceased from making atonement for the sanctuary, and the tent of meeting, and the altar, and hath brought near the living goat;

¹⁴ And from the centre of the ground unto the lower border is two cubits, and the breadth one cubit, and from the lesser border unto the greater border four cubits, and the breadth a cubit.

¹⁷ And the border is fourteen long by fourteen broad, at its four squares, and the border round about it is half a cubit, and the centre to it is a cubit round about, and its steps are looking eastward.'

²⁰ And thou hast taken of its blood, and hast put it on its four horns, and on the four corners of its border, and on the border round about, and hast cleansed it, and purified it.

²⁷ `And if any person of the people of the land sin through ignorance, by his doing something against one of the commands of Jehovah regarding things which are not to be done, and hath been guilty— <sup>28</sup> or his sin which he hath sinned hath been made known unto him, then he hath brought in his offering, a kid of the goats, a perfect one, a female, for his sin which he hath sinned, <sup>29</sup> and he hath laid his hand on the head of the sin-offering, and hath slaughtered the sin-offering in the place of the burnt-offering. <sup>30</sup> `And the priest hath taken of its blood with his finger, and hath put on the horns of the altar of the burnt-offering, and all its blood he doth pour out at the foundation of the altar, ³¹ and all its fat he doth turn aside, as the fat hath been turned aside from off the sacrifice of the peace-offerings, and the priest hath made perfume on the altar, for sweet fragrance to Jehovah; and the priest hath made atonement for him, and it hath been forgiven him. ³² `And if he bring in a sheep for his offering, for a sin-offering, a female, a perfect one, he doth bring in, <sup>33</sup> and he hath laid his hand on the head of the sin-offering, and hath slaughtered it for a sin-offering in the place where he slaughtereth the burnt-offering. <sup>34</sup> `And the priest hath taken of the blood of the sin-offering with his finger, and hath put on the horns of the altar of the burnt-offering, and all its blood he poureth out at the foundation of the altar, ³⁵ and all its fat he turneth aside, as the fat of the sheep is turned aside from the sacrifice of the peace-offerings, and the priest hath made them a perfume on the altar, according to the fire-offerings of Jehovah, and the priest hath made atonement for him, for his sin which he hath sinned, and it hath been forgiven him.

²⁰ `And he hath ceased from making atonement for the sanctuary, and the tent of meeting, and the altar, and hath brought near the living goat;

¹² Errors! who doth understand? From hidden ones declare me innocent,

¹⁵ and one lamb out of the flock, out of two hundred, out of the watered country of Israel, for a present, and for a burnt-offering, and for peace-offerings, to make atonement by them—an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

¹⁸ `Thus said the Lord Jehovah: In the first month, in the first of the month, thou dost take a bullock, a son of the herd, a perfect one, and hast cleansed the sanctuary:

¹⁸ for such our Lord Jesus Christ do not serve, but their own belly; and through the good word and fair speech they deceive the hearts of the harmless, ¹⁹ for your obedience did reach to all; I rejoice, therefore, as regards you, and I wish you to be wise, indeed, as to the good, and harmless as to the evil;

¹ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron, in the land of Egypt, saying, ² `This month is to you the chief of months—it is the first to you of the months of the year; <sup>3</sup> speak ye unto all the company of Israel, saying, In the tenth of this month—they take to them each man a lamb for the house of the fathers, a lamb for a house. <sup>4</sup> `(And if the household be too few for a lamb, then hath he taken, he and his neighbour who is near unto his house, for the number of persons, each according to his eating ye do count for the lamb,) ⁵ a lamb, a perfect one, a male, a son of a year, let be to you; from the sheep or from the goats ye do take it . ⁶ `And it hath become a charge to you, until the fourteenth day of this month, and the whole assembly of the company of Israel have slaughtered it between the evenings; <sup>7</sup> and they have taken of the blood, and have put on the two side-posts, and on the lintel over the houses in which they eat it. <sup>8</sup> `And they have eaten the flesh in this night, roast with fire; with unleavened things and bitters they do eat it; ⁹ ye do not eat of it raw, or boiled at all in water, but roast with fire, its head with its legs, and with its inwards; ¹⁰ and ye do not leave of it till morning, and that which is remaining of it till morning with fire ye do burn. ¹¹ `And thus ye do eat it: your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand, and ye have eaten it in haste; it is Jehovah's passover, <sup>12</sup> and I have passed over through the land of Egypt during this night, and have smitten every first-born in the land of Egypt, from man even unto beast, and on all the gods of Egypt I do judgments; I am Jehovah. <sup>13</sup> `And the blood hath become a sign for you on the houses where ye are, and I have seen the blood, and have passed over you, and a plague is not on you for destruction in My smiting in the land of Egypt. ¹⁴ `And this day hath become to you a memorial, and ye have kept it a feast to Jehovah to your generations; —a statute age-during; ye keep it a feast. <sup>15</sup> 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. <sup>16</sup> `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, ¹⁷ 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. ¹⁸ `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; <sup>19</sup> 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; <sup>20</sup> anything fermented ye do not eat, in all your dwellings ye do eat unleavened things.'
<sup>21</sup> And Moses calleth for all the elders of Israel, and saith unto them, `Draw out and take for yourselves from the flock, for your families, and slaughter the passover-sacrifice; ²² and ye have taken a bunch of hyssop, and have dipped it in the blood which is in the basin, and have struck it on the lintel, and on the two side-posts, from the blood which is in the basin, and ye, ye go not out each from the opening of his house till morning. ²³ `And Jehovah hath passed on to smite the Egyptians, and hath seen the blood on the lintel, and on the two side-posts, and Jehovah hath passed over the opening, and doth not permit the destruction to come into your houses to smite. <sup>24</sup> `And ye have observed this thing, for a statute to thee, and to thy sons—unto the age; ²⁵ and it hath been, when ye come in unto the land which Jehovah giveth to you, as He hath spoken, that ye have kept this service; ²⁶ and it hath come to pass when your sons say unto you, What is this service ye have? ²⁷ that ye have said, A sacrifice of passover it is to Jehovah, who passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt, in His smiting the Egyptians, and our houses He delivered.' ²⁸ And the people bow and do obeisance, and the sons of Israel go and do as Jehovah commanded Moses and Aaron; so have they done.
²⁹ And it cometh to pass, at midnight, that Jehovah hath smitten every first-born in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of Pharaoh who is sitting on his throne, unto the first-born of the captive who is in the prison-house, and every first-born of beasts. ³⁰ And Pharaoh riseth by night, he and all his servants, and all the Egyptians, and there is a great cry in Egypt, for there is not a house where there is not one dead, ³¹ and he calleth for Moses and for Aaron by night, and saith, `Rise, go out from the midst of my people, both ye and the sons of Israel, and go, serve Jehovah according to your word; <sup>32</sup> both your flock and your herd take ye, as ye have spoken, and go; then ye have blessed also me.' <sup>33</sup> And the Egyptians are urgent on the people, hasting to send them away out of the land, for they said, `We are all dead;' ³⁴ and the people taketh up its dough before it is fermented, their kneading-troughs are bound up in their garments on their shoulder. ³⁵ And the sons of Israel have done according to the word of Moses, and they ask from the Egyptians vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and garments; ³⁶ and Jehovah hath given the grace of the people in the eyes of the Egyptians, and they cause them to ask, and they spoil the Egyptians.
³⁷ And the sons of Israel journey from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, apart from infants; ³⁸ and a great rabble also hath gone up with them, and flock and herd—very much cattle. ³⁹ And they bake with the dough which they have brought out from Egypt unleavened cakes, for it hath not fermented; for they have been cast out of Egypt, and have not been able to delay, and also provision they have not made for themselves. ⁴⁰ And the dwelling of the sons of Israel which they have dwelt in Egypt is four hundred and thirty years; ⁴¹ and it cometh to pass, at the end of four hundred and thirty years—yea, it cometh to pass in this self-same day—all the hosts of Jehovah have gone out from the land of Egypt. ⁴² A night of watchings it is to Jehovah, to bring them out from the land of Egypt; it is this night to Jehovah of watchings to all the sons of Israel to their generations.
⁴³ And Jehovah saith unto Moses and Aaron, `This is a statute of the passover; Any son of a stranger doth not eat of it; <sup>44</sup> and any man's servant, the purchase of money, when thou hast circumcised him—then he doth eat of it; <sup>45</sup> a settler or hired servant doth not eat of it; <sup>46</sup> in one house it is eaten, thou dost not carry out of the house any of the flesh without, and a bone ye do not break of it; <sup>47</sup> all the company of Israel do keep it. <sup>48</sup> `And when a sojourner sojourneth with thee, and hath made a passover to Jehovah, every male of his is to be circumcised, and then he doth come near to keep it, and he hath been as a native of the land, but any uncircumcised one doth not eat of it; ⁴⁹ one law is to a native, and to a sojourner who is sojourning in your midst.' ⁵⁰ And all the sons of Israel do as Jehovah commanded Moses and Aaron; so have they done. ⁵¹ And it cometh to pass in this self-same day, Jehovah hath brought out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, by their hosts.

⁵ in the first month, on the fourteenth of the month, between the evenings, is the passover to Jehovah; ⁶ and on the fifteenth day of this month is the feast of unleavened things to Jehovah; seven days unleavened things ye do eat; ⁷ on the first day ye have a holy convocation, ye do no servile work; ⁸ and ye have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah seven days; in the seventh day is a holy convocation; ye do no servile work.'

² `Also, the sons of Israel prepare the passover in its appointed season; <sup>3</sup> in the fourteenth day of this month between the evenings ye prepare it in its appointed season; according to all its statutes, and according to all its ordinances ye prepare it.' <sup>4</sup> And Moses speaketh unto the sons of Israel to prepare the passover, <sup>5</sup> and they prepare the passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, between the evenings, in the wilderness of Sinai; according to all that Jehovah hath commanded Moses, so have the sons of Israel done. <sup>6</sup> And there are men who have been defiled by the body of a man, and they have not been able to prepare the passover on that day, and they come near before Moses, and before Aaron, on that day, <sup>7</sup> and those men say unto him, `We are defiled by the body of a man; why are we withheld so as not to bring near the offering of Jehovah in its appointed season, in the midst of the sons of Israel?' ⁸ And Moses saith unto them, `Stand ye, and I hear what Jehovah hath commanded concerning you.' <sup>9</sup> And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, <sup>10</sup> `Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, Though any man is unclean by a body or in a distant journey (of you or of your generations), yet he hath prepared a passover to Jehovah; ¹¹ in the second month, on the fourteenth day, between the evenings they prepare it; with unleavened and bitter things they eat it; 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. ¹³ `And the man who is clean, and hath not been on a journey, and hath ceased to prepare the passover, even that person hath been cut off from his people; because the offering of Jehovah he hath not brought near, in its appointed season, that man doth bear his sin. <sup>14</sup> `And when a sojourner sojourneth with you, then he hath prepared a passover to Jehovah, according to the statute of the passover, and according to its ordinance, so he doth; one statute is to you, even to a sojourner, and to a native of the land.'

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.

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. ⁵ `Thou art not able to sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, ⁶ except at the place which Jehovah thy God doth choose to cause His name to tabernacle—there thou dost sacrifice the passover in the evening, at the going in of the sun, the season of thy coming out of Egypt; ⁷ and thou hast cooked and eaten in the place on which Jehovah thy God doth fix, and hast turned in the morning, and gone to thy tents; ⁸ six days thou dost eat unleavened things, and on the seventh day is a restraint to Jehovah thy God; thou dost do no work.

¹⁴ when the sin which they have sinned concerning it hath been known, then have the assembly brought near a bullock, a son of the herd, for a sin-offering, and they have brought it in before the tent of meeting;

²⁸ even as the Son of Man did not come to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.'

²⁶ And while they were eating, Jesus having taken the bread, and having blessed, did brake, and was giving to the disciples, and said, `Take, eat, this is my body;' <sup>27</sup> and having taken the cup, and having given thanks, he gave to them, saying, `Drink ye of it—all; ²⁸ for this is my blood of the new covenant, that for many is being poured out—to remission of sins;

²¹ for him who did not know sin, in our behalf He did make sin, that we may become the righteousness of God in him.

⁸ and ye have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah seven days; in the seventh day is a holy convocation; ye do no servile work.'

¹ And Balaam saith unto Balak, `Build for me in this place seven altars, and make ready for me in this place seven bullocks and seven rams.' ² And Balak doth as Balaam hath spoken, and Balak—Balaam also—offereth a bullock and a ram on the altar,

¹⁵ and one kid of the goats for a sin-offering to Jehovah; besides the continual burnt-offering it is prepared, and its libation.
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.

⁵ and one kid of the goats, a sin-offering, to make atonement for you;

¹¹ one kid of the goats, a sin-offering; apart from the sin-offering of the atonements, and the continual burnt-offering, and its present, 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.

⁸ And now, take to you seven bullocks and seven rams, and go ye unto My servant Job, and ye have caused a burnt-offering to ascend for you; and Job My servant doth pray for you, for surely his face I accept, so as not to do with you folly, because ye have not spoken concerning Me rightly, like My servant Job.

⁸ saying above—`Sacrifice, and offering, and burnt-offerings, and concerning sin-offering Thou didst not will, nor delight in,' —which according to the law are offered— <sup>9</sup> then he said, `Lo, I come to do, O God, Thy will;' he doth take away the first that the second he may establish; ¹⁰ in the which will we are having been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once, ¹¹ and every priest, indeed, hath stood daily serving, and the same sacrifices many times offering, that are never able to take away sins. ¹² And He, for sin one sacrifice having offered—to the end, did sit down on the right hand of God, —

⁵ And the present is an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs a present, the gift of his hand, and of oil a hin for an ephah. ⁶ And on the day of the new moon a bullock, a son of the herd, a perfect one, and six lambs and a ram, they are perfect. ⁷ And with an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, he prepareth a present, and for the lambs as his hand attaineth, and of oil a hin for an ephah.

³³ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, ³⁴ `Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, In the fifteenth day of this seventh month is a feast of booths seven days to Jehovah; <sup>35</sup> on the first day is a holy convocation, ye do no servile work, <sup>36</sup> seven days ye bring near a fire-offering to Jehovah, on the eighth day ye have a holy convocation, and ye have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah; it is a restraint, ye do no servile work. <sup>37</sup> `These are appointed seasons of Jehovah, which ye proclaim holy convocations, to bring near a fire-offering to Jehovah, a burnt-offering, and a present, a sacrifice, and libations, a thing of a day in its day, ³⁸ apart from the sabbaths of Jehovah, and apart from your gifts, and apart from all your vows, and apart from all your willing-offerings, which ye give to Jehovah. ³⁹ `Only—in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, in your gathering the increase of the land, ye do keep the feast of Jehovah seven days; on the first day is a sabbath, and on the eighth day a sabbath; <sup>40</sup> and ye have taken to yourselves on the first day the fruit of beautiful trees, branches of palms, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of a brook, and have rejoiced before Jehovah your God seven days. <sup>41</sup> `And ye have kept it a feast to Jehovah, seven days in a year—a statute age-during to your generations; in the seventh month ye keep it a feast. ⁴² `In booths ye dwell seven days; all who are natives in Israel dwell in booths, ⁴³ so that your generations do know that in booths I caused the sons of Israel to dwell; in my bringing them out of the land of Egypt; I, Jehovah, am your God.'

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.

³ And assembled unto the king are all the men of Israel in the feast—it is the seventh month;

⁸ And Solomon maketh the feast at that time seven days, and all Israel with him—a very great assembly—from the entering in of Hamath unto the brook of Egypt. ⁹ And they make on the eighth day a restraint, because the dedication of the altar they have made seven days, and the feast seven days. ¹⁰ And on the twenty and third day of the seventh month he hath sent the people to their tents, rejoicing, and glad in heart, for the goodness that Jehovah hath done to David, and to Solomon, and to Israel His people.

¹⁴ And they find written in the law that Jehovah commanded by the hand of Moses, that the sons of Israel dwell in booths in the feast, in the seventh month, ¹⁵ and that they proclaim and cause to pass over all their cities, (and in Jerusalem,) saying, `Go ye out to the mount, and bring leaves of the olive, and leaves of the oil tree, and leaves of the myrtle, and leaves of the palms, and leaves of thick trees, to make booths as it is written.' ¹⁶ And the people go out, and bring in, and make for themselves booths, each on his roof, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the broad place of the water-gate, and in the broad place of the gate of Ephraim. ¹⁷ And they make—all the assembly of the captives of the captivity—booths, and they sit in booths; for the sons of Israel had not done, from the days of Jeshua son of Nun, so unto that day, and there is very great joy. ¹⁸ And he readeth in the book of the law of God day by day, from the first day till the last day, and they make a feast seven days, and on the eighth day a restraint, according to the ordinance.

¹⁶ And it hath come to pass, Every one who hath been left of all the nations, Who are coming in against Jerusalem, They have also gone up from year to year, To bow themselves to the King, Jehovah of Hosts, And to celebrate the feast of the booths. ¹⁷ And it hath come to pass, That he who doth not go up of the families of the land unto Jerusalem, To bow himself to the King, Jehovah of Hosts, Even on them there is no shower. ¹⁸ And if the family of Egypt go not up, nor come in, Then not on them is the plague With which Jehovah doth plague the nations That go not up to celebrate the feast of booths. ¹⁹ This is the punishment of the sin of Egypt, And the punishment of the sin of all the nations, That go not up to celebrate the feast of booths.

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

³⁷ And in the last, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, `If any one doth thirst, let him come unto me and drink; ³⁸ he who is believing in me, according as the Writing said, Rivers out of his belly shall flow of living water;' ³⁹ and this he said of the Spirit, which those believing in him were about to receive; for not yet was the Holy Spirit, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
