¹ Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them. ² And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem to king Hezekiah with a great army. And he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field. ³ Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah came forth to him, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder. ⁴ And Rabshakeh said to them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria: What confidence is this in which thou trust? ⁵ I say, thy counsel and strength for the war are but vain words. Now on whom do thou trust that thou have rebelled against me? ⁶ Behold, thou trust upon the staff of this bruised reed, even upon Egypt, on which if a man leans, it will go into his hand, and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust on him. ⁷ But if thou say to me, We trust in LORD our God. Is that not he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar? ⁸ Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them. ⁹ How then can thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen? ¹⁰ And have I now come up without LORD against this land to destroy it? LORD said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it. ¹¹ Then Eliakim and Shebna and Joah said to Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language, for we understand it. And speak not to us in the Jews' language, in the ears of the people who are on the wall. ¹² But Rabshakeh said, Has my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words, and not to the men who sit upon the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own urine with you? ¹³ Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and said, Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Assyria. ¹⁴ Thus says the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you, for he will not be able to deliver you. ¹⁵ Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in LORD, saying, LORD will surely deliver us. This city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria. ¹⁶ Hearken not to Hezekiah. For thus says the king of Assyria, Make your peace with me, and come out to me, and eat ye everyone of his vine, and everyone of his fig tree, and drink ye everyone the waters of his own cistern, ¹⁷ until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards. ¹⁸ Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, LORD will deliver us. Has any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria? ¹⁹ Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim? And have they delivered Samaria out of my hand? ²⁰ Who are they among all the gods of these countries that have delivered their country out of my hand, that LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand? ²¹ But they held their peace, and answered him not a word. For the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not. ²² Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah came, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.

²³ And it came to pass in the course of those many days, that the king of Egypt died.

And the nations shall know that I am LORD, says the lord LORD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.

And I will leave none of them any more there, ²⁹ nor will I hide my face any more from them. For I have poured out my Spirit upon the house of Israel, says the lord LORD.

¹² For there is no distinction of a Jew and also of a Greek, for the same Lord is of all men, being rich toward all those who call upon him. ¹³ For every man, whoever may call upon the name of the Lord will be saved. ¹⁴ How then will they call on whom they have not believed?

¹¹ the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who say, Give thanks to LORD of hosts, for LORD is good, for his loving kindness is forever, and of those who bring thanksgiving into the house of LORD. For I will cause the captivity of the land to return as at the first, says LORD.

¹⁷ Son of man, I have made thee a watchman to the house of Israel. Therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.

⁷ So thou, son of man, I have set thee a watchman to the house of Israel. Therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.

⁹ For then I will turn to the peoples of a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of LORD, to serve him with one consent.

⁸ In that day LORD shall defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And he who is feeble among them at that day shall be as David, and the house of David shall be as God, as the agent of LORD before them.

¹ And while fulfilling the day of Pentecost, they were all together at the same place.

⁴⁶ And continuing steadfastly, daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they partook of nourishment in gladness and evenness of heart, ⁴⁷ praising God, and having favor with the whole populace. And the Lord was adding to the church daily those being saved.

³² And the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul. And not even one man said that anything of the things that was possessed by him was his own, but all things were common to them.

¹⁰ Now I beseech you, brothers, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and there be no divisions among you, but ye may be thoroughly prepared in the same mind and in the same understanding.

¹² For now we see by polished metal, in dimness, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know just as also I was known.

¹⁷ So that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in knowledge of him, ¹⁸ having the eyes of your heart enlightened. For you to know what is the hope of his calling, and what is the wealth of the glory of his inheritance in the sanctified,

¹⁷ Have confidence in those who lead you, and yield yourselves, for they watch for your souls as men who will render account, so that they may do this with joy, and not groaning, for this is unprofitable for you.

⁸ And when he took the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp and golden bowls containing incense, which are the prayers of the sanctified. ⁹ And they sing a new song, saying, Thou are worthy to take the book and to open the seals of it, because thou were killed and purchased us from God by thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation. ¹⁰ And thou made them kings and priests to our God, and they will reign over the earth.

²⁰ Be glad over her, thou heaven, and the sanctified, and the apostles, and the prophets, because God has decreed your judgment of her.

⁴ And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sits on the throne, saying, Truly! Praise the Lord!

¹¹ Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice. Let the sea roar, and the fullness thereof. ¹² Let the field exult, and all that is in it. Then all the trees of the wood shall sing for joy

⁴ Make a joyful noise to LORD, all the earth. Break forth and sing for joy, yea, sing praises.

⁷ The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet. They break forth into singing.

¹⁰ Sing to LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye who go down to the sea, and all that is therein, the isles, and the inhabitants thereof. ¹¹ Let the wilderness and the cities of it lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar inhabits. Let the inhabitants of Sela sing. Let them shout from the top of the mountains.

²³ Sing, O ye heavens, for LORD has done it. Shout, ye lower parts of the earth. Break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein. For LORD has redeemed Jacob, and will glorify himself in Israel.

²⁶ who confirms the word of his servant, and performs the counsel of his messengers, who says of Jerusalem, She shall be inhabited, and of the cities of Judah, They shall be built, and I will raise up the waste places of it,

¹³ Sing, O heavens, and be joyful, O earth, and break forth into singing, O mountains. For LORD has comforted his people, and will have compassion upon his afflicted.

³ For LORD has comforted Zion. He has comforted all her waste places, and has made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of LORD. Joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.

¹ Sing, O barren, thou who did not bear. Break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou who did not travail with child. For more are the sons of the desolate than the sons of the married woman, says LORD. ² Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thy habitations. Spare not. Lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes. ³ For thou shall spread abroad on the right hand and on the left. And thy seed shall possess the nations, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.

¹² For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace. The mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the fields shall clap their hands.

⁴ And they shall build the old wastes. They shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.

¹⁸ But be ye glad and rejoice forever in that which I create. For, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. ¹⁹ And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people. And there shall no more be heard in her the voice of weeping and the voice of crying.

¹⁰ Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all ye who love her. Rejoice for joy with her, all ye who mourn over her, ¹¹ that ye may nurse and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations, that ye may get milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory. ¹² For thus says LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream. And ye shall nurse thereof. Ye shall be borne upon the side, and shall be dandled upon the knees. ¹³ As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you, and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

¹⁴ Sing, O daughter of Zion. Shout, O Israel. Be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem. ¹⁵ LORD has taken away thy judgments. He has cast out thine enemy. The King of Israel, even LORD, is in the midst of thee. Thou shall not fear evil any more.

²⁷ For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren woman not giving birth. Burst forth and shout, thou not suffering birth pains, because many more are the children of the desolate than of her who has the husband.

²⁷ All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to LORD, and all the kinfolk of the nations shall worship before thee.

¹ O sing to LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things. His right hand, and his holy arm, has wrought salvation for him. ² LORD has made known his salvation. He has openly shown his righteousness in the sight of the nations. ³ He has remembered his loving kindness and his faithfulness toward the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

⁶ yea, he says, It is too light a thing that thou should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel. I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou may be my salvation to the end of the earth.

¹⁸ For I know their works and their thoughts. The time comes, that I will gather all nations and tongues, and they shall come, and shall see my glory. ¹⁹ And I will set a sign among them, and I will send such as escape of them to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to the isles afar off, who have not heard my fame, nor have seen my glory, and they shall declare my glory among the nations.

⁶ And all flesh will see the salvation of God.

⁵ Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem, Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven. ⁶ And the sound of this that happened brought the multitude together. And it was bewildered because each one heard them speaking in his own language. ⁷ And they were amazed and marveled, saying to each other, Behold, are not all these men who speak Galileans? ⁸ And how do we each hear our own language in which we were born? ⁹ Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and those dwelling in Mesopotamia, and Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, ¹⁰ and Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya along Cyrene, and those Roman aliens, including Jews and proselytes, ¹¹ Cretes and Arabians. We hear them speaking in our tongues the great things of God.

⁴⁷ For so the Lord has commanded us: I have placed thee for a light of Gentiles, for thee to be for salvation as far as the extremity of the earth.

¹⁵ And the seventh agent sounded, and great voices occurred in heaven, saying, The kingdom of the world has become of our Lord, and of his Christ, and he will reign into the ages of the ages. ¹⁶ And the twenty-four elders who sit before the throne of God, on their thrones, fell upon their faces and worshiped God, ¹⁷ saying, We thank thee, Lord God Almighty, who is and was, because thou have taken thy great power and reigned.

⁴ Who will, no, not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name, because thou alone are holy? Because all the nations will come and worship before thee, because thy righteous deeds were made known.

² Or if a soul touches any unclean thing, whether it be the carcass of an unclean beast, or the carcass of unclean cattle, or the carcass of unclean creeping things, and it be hidden from him, and he be unclean, then he shall be guilty. ³ Or if he touch the uncleanness of man, whatever his uncleanness be with which he is unclean, and it be hid from him, when he knows of it, then he shall be guilty.

³ Then Moses said to Aaron, This is it that LORD spoke, saying, I will be sanctified in those who come near me. And I will be glorified before all the people. And Aaron remained silent.

²⁶ Every beast which parts the hoof, and is not cloven footed, nor chews the cud, is unclean to you. Everyone who touches them shall be unclean. ²⁷ And whatever goes upon its paws, among all beasts that go on all fours, they are unclean to you. Whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.

⁴⁵ For I am LORD who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. Ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.

⁴⁷ to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and between the living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that may not be eaten.

⁵ And whoever touches his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. ⁶ And he who sits on anything on which he who has the issue sat shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. ⁷ And he who touches the flesh of him who has the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. ⁸ And if he who has the issue spits upon him who is clean, then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. ⁹ And whatever saddle he who has the issue rides upon shall be unclean. ¹⁰ And whoever touches anything that was under him shall be unclean until the evening. And he who bears those things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. ¹¹ And whomever he who has the issue touches, without having rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. ¹² And the earthen vessel, which he who has the issue touches, shall be broken, and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water. ¹³ And when he who has an issue is cleansed of his issue, then he shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean. ¹⁴ And on the eighth day he shall take to him two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, and come before LORD to the door of the tent of meeting, and give them to the priest. ¹⁵ And the priest shall offer them, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and the priest shall make atonement for him before LORD for his issue. ¹⁶ And if any man's seed of copulation go out from him, then he shall bathe all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the evening. ¹⁷ And every garment, and every skin, on which is the seed of copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the evening. ¹⁸ The woman also with whom a man shall lie with seed of copulation, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the evening. ¹⁹ And if a woman has an issue, and her issue in her flesh is blood, she shall be seven days in her impurity, and whoever touches her shall be unclean until the evening. ²⁰ And everything that she lies upon in her impurity shall be unclean. Also everything that she sits upon shall be unclean. ²¹ And whoever touches her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. ²² And whoever touches anything that she sits upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. ²³ And if it be on the bed, or on anything on which she sits, when he touches it, he shall be unclean until the evening. ²⁴ And if any man lies with her, and her impurity be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days, and every bed on which he lies shall be unclean. ²⁵ And if a woman has an issue of her blood many days not in the time of her impurity, or if she has an issue beyond the time of her impurity, she shall be all the days of the issue of her uncleanness as in the days of her impurity; she is unclean. ²⁶ Every bed on which she lies all the days of her issue shall be to her as the bed of her impurity, and everything on which she sits shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her impurity. ²⁷ And whoever touches those things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. ²⁸ But if she is cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean. ²⁹ And on the eighth day she shall take to her two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, and bring them to the priest, to the door of the tent of meeting. ³⁰ And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and the priest shall make atonement for her before LORD for the issue of her uncleanness. ³¹ Thus ye shall separate the sons of Israel from their uncleanness, that they not die in their uncleanness when they defile my tabernacle that is in the midst of them. ³² This is the law of him who has an issue, and of him whose seed of copulation goes from him, so that he is unclean thereby, ³³ and of her who is sick with her impurity, and of him who has an issue, of the man, and of the woman, and of him who lies with her who is unclean.

² Speak to Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the sons of Israel, which they hallow to me, and that they not profane my holy name. I am LORD. ³ Say to them, Whoever he is of all your seed throughout your generations, that approaches to the holy things, which the sons of Israel hallow to LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from before me. I am LORD. ⁴ Whatever man of the seed of Aaron being a man with a leprous disease, or has an issue, he shall not eat of the holy things until he is clean. And whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goes from him, ⁵ or whoever touches any creeping thing, by which he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatever uncleanness he has, ⁶ the soul that touches any such shall be unclean until the evening. And shall not eat of the holy things unless he bathe his flesh in water. ⁷ And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread. ⁸ That which dies of itself, or is torn by beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself with it. I am LORD. ⁹ They shall therefore keep my charge, lest they bear sin for it, and die in it if they profane it. I am LORD who sanctifies them. ¹⁰ There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing. A sojourner of the priest's, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing. ¹¹ But if a priest buys any soul, the purchase of his money, he shall eat of it, and such as are born in his house, they shall eat of his bread. ¹² And if a priest's daughter be married to a stranger, she shall not eat of the heave offering of the holy things. ¹³ But if a priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is returned to her father's house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father's bread, but there shall no stranger eat of it. ¹⁴ And if a man eats of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth part of it to it, and shall give the holy thing to the priest. ¹⁵ And they shall not profane the holy things of the sons of Israel, which they offer to LORD, ¹⁶ and so cause them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt when they eat their holy things, for I am LORD who sanctifies them. ¹⁷ And LORD spoke to Moses, saying, ¹⁸ Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel, and say to them, Whoever he is of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, who offers his oblation, whether it be any of their vows, or any of their freewill offerings, which they offer to LORD for a burnt offering, ¹⁹ that ye may be accepted, ye shall offer a male without blemish, of the bullocks, of the sheep, or of the goats. ²⁰ But whatever has a blemish, that ye shall not offer, for it shall not be acceptable for you. ²¹ And whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to LORD to accomplish a vow, or for a freewill offering, of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish in it. ²² Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a skin tumor, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye shall not offer these to LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar to LORD. ²³ Either a bullock or a lamb that has anything superfluous or lacking in his parts, that thou may offer for a freewill offering, but it shall not be accepted for a vow. ²⁴ That which has its testicles bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut, ye shall not offer to LORD, neither shall ye do thus in your land. ²⁵ Neither from the hand of a foreigner shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of these, because their corruption is in them; there is a blemish in them. They shall not be accepted for you. ²⁶ And LORD spoke to Moses, saying, ²⁷ When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days under the dam, and from the eighth day and after that it shall be accepted for the oblation of an offering made by fire to LORD. ²⁸ And whether it be cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and its young both in one day. ²⁹ And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to LORD, ye shall sacrifice it that ye may be accepted. ³⁰ It shall be eaten on the same day. Ye shall leave none of it until the morning. I am LORD. ³¹ Therefore ye shall keep my commandments, and do them. I am LORD. ³² And ye shall not profane my holy name, but I will be hallowed among the sons of Israel. I am LORD who hallows you, ³³ who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. I am LORD.

⁷ Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of LORD, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem, and had put in the house of his gods, ⁸ even those Cyrus king of Persia brought forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them to Sheshbazzar, the ruler of Judah. ⁹ And this is the number of them: thirty platters of gold, a thousand platters of silver, twenty-nine knives, ¹⁰ thirty bowls of gold, four hundred and ten silver bowls of a second sort, and a thousand other vessels. ¹¹ All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand and four hundred. All these Sheshbazzar brought up when those of the captivity were brought up from Babylon to Jerusalem.

²⁵ and weighed to them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, even the offering for the house of our God, which the king, and his counselors, and his rulers, and all Israel there present, had offered. ²⁶ I weighed into their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and a hundred talents of silver vessels, a hundred talents of gold, ²⁷ and twenty bowls of gold, of a thousand darics, and two vessels of fine bright brass, precious as gold. ²⁸ And I said to them, Ye are holy to LORD, and the vessels are holy, and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering to LORD, the God of your fathers. ²⁹ Watch ye, and keep them, until ye weigh them before the chiefs of the priests and the Levites, and the rulers of the fathers of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of LORD. ³⁰ So the priests and the Levites received the weight of the silver and the gold, and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem to the house of our God.

¹⁶ Wash you, make you clean, put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes. Cease to do evil.

⁸ Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he-goats before the flocks.

²³ And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and the common, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.

¹³ Then Haggai said, If a man who is unclean because of a dead body touches any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean. ¹⁴ Then Haggai answered and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, says LORD, and so is every work of their hands. And that which they offer there is unclean.

⁶ Ho, ho, flee from the land of the north, says LORD. For I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heavens, says LORD. ⁷ Ho Zion, escape, thou who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.

¹⁴ But Peter said, Not so, Lord, because I have never eaten anything profane or unclean.

²⁸ And he said to them, Ye understand how it is unlawful for a Jewish man to fraternize or to visit with a foreign man, and yet God demonstrated to me not to call one man profane or unclean.

¹⁴ I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is profane by itself, except to him who regards anything to be profane. To that man it is profane.

¹⁷ Therefore, Come ye out from among them, and be ye separated, says the Lord, And touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you

¹¹ And do not associate with the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead even rebuke them.

¹⁴ As children of obedience, not fashioning yourselves to the former desires in your ignorance, ¹⁵ but according to the Holy Man, he who called you, ye yourselves also become holy in all conduct, ¹⁶ because it is written, Become ye holy, since I am holy.

⁵ ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

¹¹ Beloved, I beseech you as aliens and sojourners, to abstain from the fleshly lusts, which war against the soul.

¹¹ And thus ye shall eat it: with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand. And ye shall eat it in haste. It is LORD's Passover.

³³ And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, to send them out of the land in haste, for they said, We are all dead men.

³⁹ And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened, because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any provisions.

²¹ And LORD went before them by day in a pillar of cloud, to lead them the way, and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light, that they might go by day and by night. ²² The pillar of cloud by day, and the pillar of fire by night departed not from before the people.

⁸ And LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the sons of Israel, for the sons of Israel went out with a high hand.

¹⁹ And the agent of God, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them, and the pillar of cloud moved from before them, and stood behind them. ²⁰ And it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel. And the cloud and the darkness was there, yet it gave light by night. And the one did not come near the other all the night.

²⁵ And the standard of the camp of the sons of Dan, which was the rearward of all the camps, set forward according to their armies, and over his army was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.

⁴ For LORD your God is he who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.

¹⁴ And Deborah said to Barak, Up, for this is the day in which LORD has delivered Sisera into thy hand. Has not LORD gone out before thee? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.

¹⁵ And it shall be, when thou hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shall go out to battle. For God has gone out before thee to smite the army of the Philistines.

¹⁶ Therefore thus says the lord LORD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation, a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner-stone, a sure foundation. He who believes in him shall, no, not be shamed.

² I will go before thee, and make the rough places smooth. I will break in pieces the doors of brass, and cut apart the bars of iron.

⁸ Then thy light shall break forth as the morning, and thy healing shall spring forth speedily. And thy righteousness shall go before thee. The glory of LORD shall be thy rearward.

¹³ The breaker has gone up before them. They have broken forth and passed on to the gate, and have gone out there. And their king has passed on before them, and LORD at the head of them.

⁷ Only be strong and very courageous to observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee. Turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou may have good success wherever thou go. ⁸ This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shall meditate on it day and night, that thou may observe to do according to all that is written in it, for then thou shall make thy way prosperous, and then thou shall have good success.

⁶ Yet I have set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. ⁷ I will tell of the decree. LORD said to me, Thou are my Son, this day I have begotten thee. ⁸ Ask of me, and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance, and the outermost parts of the earth for thy possession. ⁹ Thou shall break them with a rod of iron, thou shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

¹ LORD says to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand until I make thine enemies thy footstool. ² LORD will send forth the rod of thy strength out of Zion. Rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.

⁶ For to us a child is born, to us a son is given. And the government shall be upon his shoulder. And his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace. ⁷ Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from henceforth even forever. The zeal of LORD of hosts will perform this.

² And the Spirit of LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of LORD. ³ And his delight shall be in the fear of LORD. And he shall not judge according to the sight of his eyes, nor decide according to the hearing of his ears,

¹ Behold, my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights. I have put my Spirit upon him, he will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.

¹ Listen, O isles, to me, and hearken, ye peoples from far. LORD has called me from the womb. From the bowels of my mother he has made mention of my name.

³ And he said to me, Thou are my servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified.

⁵ And now says LORD who formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, and that Israel be gathered to him (for I am honorable in the eyes of LORD, and my God has become my strength), ⁶ yea, he says, It is too light a thing that thou should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel. I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou may be my salvation to the end of the earth. ⁷ Thus says LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despises, to him whom the nation abhors, to a servant of rulers. Kings shall see and arise, rulers, and they shall worship, because of LORD who is faithful, even the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen thee.

¹⁰ Yet it pleased LORD to bruise him. He has put him to grief. When thou shall make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed. He shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of LORD shall prosper in his hand. ¹¹ He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied. By the knowledge of himself shall my righteous servant justify many, and he shall bear their iniquities.

¹⁵ For thus says the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, also with him who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.

⁵ Behold, the days come, says LORD, that I will raise to David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.

²³ And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David. He shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.

⁸ Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou and thy fellows who sit before thee, for they are men who are a sign. For, behold, I will bring forth my servant the Branch.

³¹ He who comes from above is above all things. He who is of the earth is of the earth, and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all things.

²² For neither does the Father judge any man, but he has given all judgment to the Son, ²³ so that all would honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. The man not honoring the Son, does not honor the Father who sent him.

²⁰ which he wrought in the Christ, having raised him from the dead and seated at his right hand in the heavenly things, ²¹ far above every principle office, and position of authority, and power, and lordship, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is coming. ²² And he subordinated all things under his feet, and appointed him head over all things for the church, ²³ which is his body, the fulfillment of him who fills all in all.

⁷ But he emptied himself, having taken a form of a bondman, having become in a likeness of men. ⁸ And having been found in a form like a man, he lowered himself, having become obedient until death, even of death from a cross. ⁹ Therefore God also highly exalted him and gave him the name above every name, ¹⁰ so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of the heavenly, and the earthly, and the sub-earthly, ¹¹ and that every tongue should acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

³ Who, being the radiance of his glory, and the exact image of his essence, and upholding all things by the word of his power, having made purification of our sins through himself, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in the heights.

⁶ And I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, like it had been killed, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God being sent forth into all the earth. ⁷ And he came and took it out of the right hand of him who sits on the throne. ⁸ And when he took the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp and golden bowls containing incense, which are the prayers of the sanctified. ⁹ And they sing a new song, saying, Thou are worthy to take the book and to open the seals of it, because thou were killed and purchased us from God by thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation. ¹⁰ And thou made them kings and priests to our God, and they will reign over the earth. ¹¹ And I looked, and I heard as a voice of many agents all around the throne and the living creatures and the elders. And the number of them was ten thousands of ten thousands, and thousands of thousands, ¹² saying with a great voice, Worthy is the Lamb that has been killed to receive the power, and wealth, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing! ¹³ And every creature that is in the heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and is in the sea, and things in them all, I heard saying, The blessing, and the honor, and the glory, and the dominion is to him who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb, into the ages of the ages. Truly!

⁶ But I am a worm, and no man, a reproach of men, and despised by the people. ⁷ All those who see me laugh me to scorn. They shoot out the lip. They shake the head, saying,

¹⁵ My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue clings to my jaws, and thou have brought me into the dust of death.

¹⁷ I may count all my bones. They look and stare upon me.

⁷ I am as a wonder to many, but thou are my strong refuge.

³ For my days consume away like smoke, and my bones are burned as a firebrand. ⁴ My heart is smitten like grass, and withered, for I forget to eat my bread. ⁵ Because of the voice of my groaning my bones cling to my flesh.

⁶ I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to those who plucked off the hair. I did not hide my face from shame and spitting.

² For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground. He has no form nor comeliness. And when we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. ³ He was despised, and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief. And as him from whom men hide their face he was despised, and we esteemed him not. ⁴ Surely he has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows. Yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. ⁵ But he was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement of our peace was upon him, and with his stripes we are healed.

²⁸ And it came to pass, when Jesus finished these sayings, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching,

²² And when they heard it, they marveled. And having left him, they departed. ²³ On that day Sadducees came to him, those who claim to be no resurrection. And they questioned him, saying,

⁶⁷ Then they spat in his face and struck him with a fist. And some slapped him,

¹⁴ And he did not answer him, not even one word, so as for the governor to marvel greatly.

²⁹ And having woven a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand. And having knelt down before him, they ridiculed him, saying, Hail, king of the Jews! ³⁰ And having spat upon him, they took the reed and were striking him on his head.

⁴² And straightaway the little girl rose up and walked, for she was twelve years old. And they were amazed with a great amazement.

⁵¹ And he went up to them into the boat, and the wind ceased. And they were exceedingly amazed in themselves, extraordinarily so. And they wondered,

³⁷ And they were exceedingly astonished, saying, He has done all things well. He even makes the deaf to hear, and the mute to speak.

²⁶ And they were exceedingly astonished, saying among themselves, Then who can be saved?

³² And they were on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going ahead of them. And they were amazed, and those who followed were afraid. And again having summoned the twelve, he began to tell them the things that were going to happen to him.

⁴⁷ And all who heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.

³⁶ And amazement developed in all, and they spoke among each other, saying, What is this word? Because with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.

²⁶ And amazement gripped all, and they glorified God. And they were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things today.

⁶⁴ And having covered him, they struck his face, and demanded him, saying, Prophesy! Who is he who struck thee?

⁷ And thus thou shall do to them to cleanse them: sprinkle the water of expiation upon them, and let them cause a razor to pass over all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and cleanse themselves.

⁹ The rulers refrained from talking, and laid their hand on their mouth. ¹⁰ The voice of the ranking men was hushed, and their tongue stuck to the roof of their mouth.

⁴ Behold, I am of small account. What shall I answer thee? I lay my hand upon my mouth.

⁹ Those who dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him, and his enemies shall lick the dust. ¹⁰ The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render tribute. The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. ¹¹ Yea, all kings shall fall down before him. All nations shall serve him.

⁷ Thus says LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despises, to him whom the nation abhors, to a servant of rulers. Kings shall see and arise, rulers, and they shall worship, because of LORD who is faithful, even the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen thee.

⁵ My righteousness is near. My salvation has gone forth, and my arms shall judge the peoples. The isles shall wait for me, and on my arm they shall trust.

⁵ Behold, thou shall call a nation that thou do not know. And a nation that does not know thee shall run to thee because of LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel, for he has glorified thee.

²⁵ And I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean. I will cleanse you from all your filthiness, and from all your idols.

¹⁶ The nations shall see and be ashamed of all their might. They shall lay their hand upon their mouth. Their ears shall be deaf. ¹⁷ They shall lick the dust like a serpent. Like crawling things of the earth they shall come trembling out of their close places. They shall come with fear to LORD our God, and shall be afraid because of thee.

¹³ Be silent, all flesh, before LORD, for he has arisen out of his holy habitation.

¹⁹ After going, make ye disciples of all the nations, immersing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

³³ Therefore, exalted by the right hand of God, and having received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, he poured out this that ye now see and hear.

²⁰ And thus having aspired to proclaim the good news not where Christ was already named, so that I would not build upon a foundation belonging to another man, ²¹ but, as it is written, They will see to whom it was not reported about him, and they will understand who have not heard.

²⁵ Now to him who is able to establish you according to my good news, and the preaching of Jesus Christ according to a revelation of the mystery that has been kept secret for eternal times, ²⁶ but that was now revealed, and by prophetic scriptures, according to a commandment of the eternal God that was made known to all the nations for obedience of faith,

⁵ which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by Spirit to his holy apostles and prophets. ⁶ For Gentiles to be fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and fellow partakers of his promise in the Christ through the good news. ⁷ Of which I became a helper according to the gift of that grace of God, which was given to me according to the working of his power. ⁸ To me, a man less than the least of all the sanctified, this grace was given to preach good news among the Gentiles, the unsearchable wealth of Christ, ⁹ and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery hidden from the ages in God who created all things through Jesus Christ.

⁵ he saved us, not of works in righteousness that we did, but according to his mercy through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, ⁶ which he poured out upon us abundantly, through Jesus Christ our Savior.

¹³ For if the blood of bulls and goats, and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling those who were defiled, sanctifies for the purification of the flesh, ¹⁴ how much more the blood of Christ, who, through the eternal Spirit, offered himself unblemished to God, will cleanse your conscience from dead works in order to serve a living God?

²² let us approach with a true heart in full assurance of faith, our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our body washed in pure water.

²⁸ By faith he performed the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that he who was destroying the firstborn would not touch them.

²⁴ and to Jesus a mediator of a new covenant, and to blood of sprinkling that speaks better than Abel.

² chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of Spirit, for obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you, and peace be multiplied.
