³⁶ The priests: the sons of Jedaiah, of the house of Jeshua, nine hundred seventy-three. ³⁷ The sons of Immer, a thousand fifty-two. ³⁸ The sons of Pashhur, a thousand two hundred forty-seven. ³⁹ The sons of Harim, a thousand and seventeen. ⁴⁰ The Levites: the sons of Jeshua and Kadmiel, of the sons of Hodaviah, seventy-four. ⁴¹ The singers: the sons of Asaph, a hundred twenty-eight. ⁴² The sons of the porters: the sons of Shallum, the sons of Ater, the sons of Talmon, the sons of Akkub, the sons of Hatita, the sons of Shobai, in all a hundred thirty-nine. ⁴³ The Nethinim: the sons of Ziha, the sons of Hasupha, the sons of Tabbaoth, ⁴⁴ the sons of Keros, the sons of Siaha, the sons of Padon, ⁴⁵ the sons of Lebanah, the sons of Hagabah, the sons of Akkub, ⁴⁶ the sons of Hagab, the sons of Shamlai, the sons of Hanan, ⁴⁷ the sons of Giddel, the sons of Gahar, the sons of Reaiah, ⁴⁸ the sons of Rezin, the sons of Nekoda, the sons of Gazzam, ⁴⁹ the sons of Uzza, the sons of Paseah, the sons of Besai, ⁵⁰ the sons of Asnah, the sons of Meunim, the sons of Nephisim, ⁵¹ the sons of Bakbuk, the sons of Hakupha, the sons of Harhur, ⁵² the sons of Bazluth, the sons of Mehida, the sons of Harsha, ⁵³ the sons of Barkos, the sons of Sisera, the sons of Temah, ⁵⁴ the sons of Neziah, the sons of Hatipha.

⁷⁰ So the priests, and the Levites, and some of the people, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinim, dwelt in their cities, and all Israel in their cities.

¹ Now when these things were done, the rulers drew near to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands, doing according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites. ² For they have taken of their daughters for themselves and for their sons, so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the peoples of the lands. Yea, the hand of the heads and rulers has been chief in this trespass.

¹¹ Now therefore make confession to LORD, the God of your fathers, and do his pleasure, and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the foreign women. ¹² Then all the assembly answered and said with a loud voice, As thou have said concerning us, so must we do. ¹³ But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand outside. Neither is this a work of one day or two, for we have greatly transgressed in this matter. ¹⁴ Let now our rulers be appointed for all the assembly, and let all those who are in our cities who have married foreign women come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce wrath of our God be turned from us, until this matter be dispatched. ¹⁵ Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah stood up against this, and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them. ¹⁶ And the sons of the captivity did so. And Ezra the priest, with certain heads of fathers, after their fathers' houses, and all of them by their names, were set apart. And they sat down in the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter. ¹⁷ And they made an end with all the men who had married foreign women by the first day of the first month. ¹⁸ And among the sons of the priests there were found who had married foreign women, namely, of the sons of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and his brothers, Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah. ¹⁹ And they gave their hand that they would put away their wives. And being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their guilt.

² And Ezra the priest brought the law before the assembly, both men and women, and all who could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month.

² And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all foreigners, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers.

³ And it came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated from Israel all the mixed multitude.

⁷ For God is the King of all the earth. Sing ye praises with understanding.

² Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thy heart be hasty to utter anything before God. For God is in heaven, and thou upon earth. Therefore let thy words be few.

² And thou shall swear, As LORD lives, in truth, in justice, and in righteousness. And the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him they shall glory.

¹⁴ Do not become unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what partnership has righteousness and lawlessness? And what fellowship has light with darkness? ¹⁵ And what agreement has Christ with Belial? Or what share have believers with non-believers? ¹⁶ And what mutual agreement has a temple of God with idols? For ye are a temple of the living God, just as God said, I will dwell in them, and will walk among them. And I will be their God, and they will be a people to me. 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

¹ And Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and the ordinances which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and observe to do them.

³² Ye shall observe to do therefore as LORD your God has commanded you. Ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.

¹⁵ Cursed be the man who makes a graven or molten image, an abomination to LORD, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and sets it up in secret. And all the people shall answer and say, Truly. ¹⁶ Cursed be he who dishonors his father or his mother. And all the people shall say, Truly. ¹⁷ Cursed be he who removes his neighbor's landmark. And all the people shall say, Truly. ¹⁸ Cursed be he who makes the blind to wander out of the way. And all the people shall say, Truly. ¹⁹ Cursed be he who distorts the justice to the sojourner, fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall say, Truly. ²⁰ Cursed be he who lies with his father's wife, because he has uncovered his father's skirt. And all the people shall say, Truly. ²¹ Cursed be he who lies with any manner of beast. And all the people shall say, Truly. ²² Cursed be he who lies with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother. And all the people shall say, Truly. ²³ Cursed be he who lies with his mother-in-law. And all the people shall say, Truly. ²⁴ Cursed be he who smites his neighbor in secret. And all the people shall say, Truly. ²⁵ Cursed be he who takes a bribe to kill an innocent man. And all the people shall say, Truly. ²⁶ Cursed is every man who does not continue in all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Truly.

¹² that thou may enter into the covenant of LORD thy God, and into his oath, which LORD thy God makes with thee this day, ¹³ that he may establish thee this day to himself for a people, and that he may be to thee a God, as he spoke to thee, and as he swore to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. ¹⁴ Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath,

⁴ Moses commanded for us a law, an inheritance for the assembly of Jacob.

³¹ But Jehu did not take heed to walk in the law of LORD, the God of Israel, with all his heart. He did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam, with which he made Israel to sin.

³ And the king stood by the pillar, and made a covenant before LORD to walk after LORD, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his heart, and all his soul, to confirm the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant.

¹⁶ Now therefore, O LORD, the God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou have promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only thy sons take heed to their way, to walk in my law as thou have walked before me.

¹³ And that whoever would not seek LORD, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. ¹⁴ And they swore to LORD with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.

³¹ And the king stood in his place, and made a covenant before LORD, to walk after LORD, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his heart, and with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant that were written in this book.

¹² Then they said, We will restore them, and will require nothing of them, so will we do, even as thou say. Then I called the priests, and took an oath from them that they would do according to this promise. ¹³ Also I shook out my lap, and said, So God shake out every man from his house, and from his labor, who does not perform this promise, even thus be he shaken out and emptied. And all the assembly said, Truly, and praised LORD. And the people did according to this promise.

²⁵ And I contended with them, and cursed them, and smote certain of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God, saying, Ye shall not give your daughters to their sons, nor take their daughters for your sons, or for yourselves.

¹ O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth, who has set thy glory upon the heavens!

⁹ O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

⁴⁵ that they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Praise ye LORD.

¹⁰⁶ I have sworn, and have confirmed it, that I will observe thy righteous ordinances.

¹ For LORD will have compassion on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land. And the sojourner shall join himself with them, and they shall cling to the house of Jacob.

⁴ And thou shall say to them, Thus says LORD: If ye will not hearken to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you,

²⁷ And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my ordinances, and do them.

⁴ Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded to him in Horeb for all Israel, even statutes and ordinances.

¹⁷ Because the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth came to be through Jesus Christ.

¹⁹ Did not Moses give you the law, and none of you does the law? Why do ye seek to kill me?

¹⁴ Ye are my friends, if ye do as many things as I command you.

²³ who, having arrived, and having seen the grace of God, rejoiced. And he encouraged all, with purpose of heart, to remain in the Lord.

³⁴ But some men, having joined with him, believed, among whom was also Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.

¹² And when it became day, some of the Jews, having made a conspiracy, put themselves under a curse, saying neither to eat nor to drink until they would kill Paul. ¹³ And there were more than forty who made this conspiracy, ¹⁴ who, having come near to the chief priests and the elders, said, We have put ourselves under a curse, a curse to taste of nothing until we would kill Paul. ¹⁵ Now therefore ye with the council report to the chief captain that tomorrow he may bring him down to you, as though going to inquire more accurately the things about him. And we, before he comes near, are prepared to kill him.

²¹ Therefore thou should not be persuaded by them, for more than forty men of them wait to ambush him, who have put themselves under an oath, neither to eat nor drink until they have killed him. And now they are ready, expecting the promise from thee.

⁹ Love without hypocrisy, abhorring what is evil, clinging to what is good,

¹¹ For the saving grace of God has appeared to all men, ¹² disciplining us, so that, having denied irreverence and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and piously in the present age. ¹³ Awaiting the blessed hope and appearance of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, ¹⁴ who gave himself for us, so that he might redeem us from all lawlessness, and purify to himself a special people, a zealot of good works.

¹⁶ and thou take of their daughters to thy sons, and their daughters play the harlot after their gods, and make thy sons play the harlot after their gods.

³ Neither shall thou make marriages with them. Thy daughter thou shall not give to his son, nor his daughter shall thou take to thy son.

¹ Now when these things were done, the rulers drew near to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands, doing according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites. ² For they have taken of their daughters for themselves and for their sons, so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the peoples of the lands. Yea, the hand of the heads and rulers has been chief in this trespass. ³ And when I heard this thing, I tore my garment and my robe, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down confounded.

¹² Now therefore do not give your daughters to their sons, neither take their daughters to your sons, nor seek their peace or their prosperity forever, that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your sons forever. ¹³ And after all that has come upon us for our evil deeds, and for our great guilt, seeing that thou our God have punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and have given us such a remnant, ¹⁴ shall we again break thy commandments, and join in affinity with the peoples who do these abominations? Would thou not be angry with us till thou had consumed us, so that there should be no remnant, nor any to escape?

¹⁰ And Ezra the priest stood up, and said to them, Ye have trespassed, and have married foreign women to increase the guilt of Israel. ¹¹ Now therefore make confession to LORD, the God of your fathers, and do his pleasure, and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the foreign women. ¹² Then all the assembly answered and said with a loud voice, As thou have said concerning us, so must we do.

¹⁶ And in the first day there shall be to you a holy convocation, and in the seventh day a holy convocation, no manner of work shall be done in them, except that which every man must eat, that only may be done by you.

¹⁰ but the seventh day is a sabbath to LORD thy God. Thou shall not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates,

¹⁰ And six years thou shall sow thy land, and shall gather in the increase of it, ¹¹ but the seventh year thou shall let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor of thy people may eat, and what they leave the beast of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shall deal with thy vineyard, and with thy oliveyard.

²⁹ And it shall be a statute forever to you. In the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and shall do no manner of work, the home-born, or the stranger who sojourns among you.

³ Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation. Ye shall do no manner of work. It is a sabbath to LORD in all your dwellings.

²¹ And ye shall make proclamation on the selfsame day, there shall be a holy convocation to you. Ye shall do no job work. It is a statute forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.

³⁵ On the first day shall be a holy convocation. Ye shall do no job work. ³⁶ Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire to LORD. On the eighth day shall be a holy convocation to you, and ye shall offer an offering made by fire to LORD. It is a solemn assembly; ye shall do no job work.

¹ And LORD spoke to Moses at mount Sinai, saying, ² Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath to LORD. ³ Six years thou shall sow thy field, and six years thou shall prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruits of it, ⁴ but in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a sabbath to LORD. Thou shall neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard. ⁵ That which grows of itself of thy harvest thou shall not reap, and the grapes of thy undressed vine thou shall not gather. It shall be a year of solemn rest for the land. ⁶ And the sabbath of the land shall be for food for you: for thee, and for thy servant and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant and for thy stranger, who sojourns with thee. ⁷ And for thy cattle, and for the beasts that are in thy land, all the increase of it shall be for food.

¹² Observe the sabbath day, to keep it holy, as LORD thy God commanded thee. ¹³ Six days thou shall labor, and do all thy work, ¹⁴ but the seventh day is a sabbath to LORD thy God: thou shall not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thine ox, nor thy donkey, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates, that thy man-servant and thy maid-servant may rest as well as thou.

¹ At the end of every seven years thou shall make a release. ² And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor shall release that which he has lent to his neighbor. He shall not exact it from his neighbor and his brother, because LORD's release has been proclaimed. ³ From a foreigner thou may exact it, but whatever of thine is with thy brother, thy hand shall release.

⁷ If there be with thee a poor man, one of thy brothers, within any of thy gates in thy land which LORD thy God gives thee, thou shall not harden thy heart, nor shut thy hand from thy poor brother, ⁸ but thou shall surely open thy hand to him, and shall surely lend him sufficient for his need which he wants. ⁹ Beware that there not be a base thought in thy heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand, and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou give him nothing, and he cry to LORD against thee, and it be sin to thee.

²¹ to fulfill the word of LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed its sabbaths; as long as it lay desolate it kept sabbath, to fulfill seventy years.

¹ Then there arose a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brothers the Jews. ² For there were who said, We, our sons and our daughters, are many. Let us get grain that we may eat and live. ³ There were some also who said, We are mortgaging our fields, and our vineyards, and our houses. Let us get grain because of the dearth. ⁴ There were also who said, We have borrowed money for the king's tribute upon our fields and our vineyards. ⁵ Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brothers, our sons as their sons. And, lo, we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters are brought into bondage already. Neither is it in our power to help it, for other men have our fields and our vineyards. ⁶ And I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words. ⁷ Then I consulted with myself, and contended with the ranking men and the rulers, and said to them, Ye exact usury, everyone of his brother. And I held a great assembly against them. ⁸ And I said to them, According to our ability we have redeemed our brothers the Jews, who were sold to the nations, and would ye even sell your brothers, and should they be sold to us? Then they were silent, and found not a word. ⁹ Also I said, The thing that ye do is not good. Ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God, because of the reproach of the nations our enemies? ¹⁰ And I likewise, my brothers and my servants, lend them money and grain. I pray you, let us leave off this usury. ¹¹ Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their fields, their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the grain, the new wine, and the oil, that ye exact of them.

¹⁵ In those days I saw in Judah some men treading wine-presses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and loading donkeys therewith, as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day. And I testified against them in the day in which they sold foods. ¹⁶ There dwelt men of Tyre also in it who brought in fish, and all manner of wares, and sold on the sabbath to the sons of Judah, and in Jerusalem. ¹⁷ Then I contended with the ranking men of Judah, and said to them, What evil thing is this that ye do, and profane the sabbath day? ¹⁸ Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? Yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath. ¹⁹ And it came to pass that, when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath, I commanded that the doors should be shut, and commanded that they should not be opened till after the sabbath. And I set some of my servants over the gates that there should be no burden brought in on the sabbath day. ²⁰ So the merchants and sellers of all kind of wares lodged outside Jerusalem once or twice. ²¹ Then I testified against them, and said to them, Why do ye lodge outside the wall? If ye do so again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth they came no more on the sabbath. ²² And I commanded the Levites that they should purify themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember to me, O my God, this also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy loving kindness.

⁶ Is not this the fast that I have chosen: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?

¹³ If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day, and call the sabbath a delight, and the holy of LORD honorable, and shall honor it, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: ¹⁴ then thou shall delight thyself in LORD, and I will make thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and I will feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father. For the mouth of LORD has spoken it.

²¹ Thus says LORD: Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem. ²² Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, nor do ye any work. But hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.

¹² And forgive us our debts as we also forgive our debtors.

²⁷ And having felt compassion, the lord of that bondman released him, and forgave him the debt. ²⁸ But after going out, that bondman found one of his fellow bondmen who owed him a hundred denarii. And having grabbed him, he choked him, saying, Pay me if thou owe anything. ²⁹ So his fellow bondman having fallen down at his feet, besought him, saying, Be patience toward me, and I will pay thee. ³⁰ But he would not, instead, having left him, he cast him into prison until he would pay that which was owed. ³¹ And when his fellow bondmen saw the things that happened, they were extremely sorry. And after coming, they reported to their lord all the things that happened. ³² Then his lord having summoned him, he says to him, Thou evil bondman, I forgave thee all that debt because thou besought me. ³³ Was it not necessary for thee also to be merciful to thy fellow bondman, as I also was merciful to thee? ³⁴ And having become angry, his lord delivered him to the tormentors until he would pay all that was due to him. ³⁵ So also my heavenly Father will do to you, if ye do not forgive each man his brother, from your hearts, their trespasses.

¹⁶ Let not any man therefore judge you in eating, or in drinking, or in the matter of a festival or a new moon or sabbaths,

¹³ For the judgment is merciless to him who did no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

²² then this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be God's house. And of all that thou shall give me I will surely give the tenth to thee.

¹¹ And LORD spoke to Moses, saying, ¹² When thou take the sum of the sons of Israel, according to those who are numbered of them, then they shall give every man a ransom for his soul to LORD when thou number them, that there be no plague among them when thou number them. ¹³ This they shall give, everyone who passes over to those who are numbered: half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary, (the shekel is twenty gerahs,) half a shekel for an offering to LORD. ¹⁴ Everyone who passes over to those who are numbered, from twenty years old and upward, shall give the offering of LORD. ¹⁵ The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than the half shekel, when they give the offering of LORD, to make atonement for your souls. ¹⁶ And thou shall take the atonement money from the sons of Israel, and shall appoint it for the service of the tent of meeting, that it may be a memorial for the sons of Israel before LORD, to make atonement for your souls.

⁹ Honor LORD with thy substance, and with the first-fruits of all thine increase,

²⁴ And when they came to Capernaum, those who receive the double-drachma came to Peter, and said, Does not your teacher pay the double-drachma? ²⁵ He says, Yes. And when he entered into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, What think thou, Simon? The kings of the earth, from whom do they take taxes or tribute, from their sons or from strangers? ²⁶ And Peter says to him, From strangers. Jesus said to him, Therefore the sons are free. ²⁷ But, so that we might not offend them, after going to the sea, cast a hook. And take up the first fish coming up, and having opened its mouth, thou will find a four-drachma coin. After taking that, give thou to them for me and thee.

¹² For if the willingness is present, it is acceptable to the extent if some man has, not to the extent he does not have.

⁵ And thou shall take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes of it. Two tenth parts of an ephah shall be in one cake. ⁶ And thou shall set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before LORD.

¹ And LORD spoke to Moses, saying, ² Command the sons of Israel, and say to them, My oblation, my food for my offerings made by fire, of a sweet savor to me, ye shall observe to offer to me in their due season. ³ And thou shall say to them, This is the offering made by fire which ye shall offer to LORD: he-lambs a year old without blemish, two day by day, for a continual burnt offering. ⁴ The one lamb thou shall offer in the morning, and the other lamb thou shall offer at evening, ⁵ and the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meal offering, mingled with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil. ⁶ It is a continual burnt offering, which was ordained on mount Sinai for a sweet savor, an offering made by fire to LORD. ⁷ And the drink offering of it shall be the fourth part of a hin for the one lamb. In the holy place thou shall pour out a drink offering of strong drink to LORD. ⁸ And the other lamb thou shall offer at evening. As the meal offering of the morning, and as the drink offering of it, thou shall offer it, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to LORD. ⁹ And on the sabbath day two he-lambs a year old without blemish, and two tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour for a meal offering, mingled with oil, and the drink offering of it. ¹⁰ This is the burnt offering of every sabbath, besides the continual burnt offering, and the drink offering of it. ¹¹ And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt offering to LORD: two young bullocks, and one ram, seven he-lambs a year old without blemish, ¹² and three tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour for a meal offering, mingled with oil for each bullock, and two tenth parts of fine flour for a meal offering, mingled with oil for the one ram, ¹³ and a tenth part of fine flour mingled with oil for a meal offering to every lamb, for a burnt offering of a sweet savor, an offering made by fire to LORD. ¹⁴ And their drink offerings shall be half a hin of wine for a bullock, and the third part of a hin for the ram, and the fourth part of a hin for a lamb. This is the burnt offering of every month throughout the months of the year. ¹⁵ And one he-goat for a sin offering to LORD, it shall be offered besides the continual burnt offering, and the drink offering of it. ¹⁶ And in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, is LORD's Passover. ¹⁷ And on the fifteenth day of this month shall be a feast; seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten. ¹⁸ In the first day shall be a holy convocation. Ye shall do no job work. ¹⁹ But ye shall offer an offering made by fire, a burnt offering to LORD: two young bullocks, and one ram, and seven he-lambs a year old (they shall be to you without blemish), ²⁰ and their meal offering, fine flour mingled with oil. Three tenth parts ye shall offer for a bullock, and two tenth parts for the ram, ²¹ a tenth part shall thou offer for every lamb of the seven lambs. ²² Also one he-goat for a sin offering, to make atonement for you. ²³ Ye shall offer these besides the burnt offering of the morning, which is for a continual burnt offering. ²⁴ After this manner ye shall offer daily, for seven days, the food of the offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to LORD. It shall be offered besides the continual burnt offering, and the drink offering of it. ²⁵ And on the seventh day ye shall have a holy convocation. Ye shall do no job work. ²⁶ Also in the day of the first-fruits, when ye offer a new meal offering to LORD in your feast of weeks, ye shall have a holy convocation. Ye shall do no job work. ²⁷ But ye shall offer a burnt offering for a sweet savor to LORD: two young bullocks, one ram, seven he-lambs a year old, ²⁸ and their meal offering, fine flour mingled with oil, three tenth parts for each bullock, two tenth parts for the one ram, ²⁹ a tenth part for every lamb of the seven lambs,

⁴ Behold, I am about to build a house for the name of LORD my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him incense of sweet spices, and for the continual showbread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the set feasts of LORD our God. This is an ordinance forever to Israel.

⁵ And he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out to the cities of Judah, and gather money from all Israel to repair the house of your God from year to year. And see that ye hasten the matter. However the Levites did not hasten it. ⁶ And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said to him, Why have thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the tax of Moses the servant of LORD, and of the assembly of Israel, for the tent of the testimony? ⁷ For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up the house of God, and also all the dedicated things of the house of LORD they bestowed upon the Baalim. ⁸ So the king commanded, and they made a chest, and set it outside at the gate of the house of LORD. ⁹ And they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in for LORD the tax that Moses the servant of God laid upon Israel in the wilderness. ¹⁰ And all the rulers and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had made an end. ¹¹ And it was so, that, at what ever time the chest was brought to the king's officers by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king's scribe and the chief priest's officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to its place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance. ¹² And the king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of LORD. And they hired masons and carpenters to restore the house of LORD, and also such as wrought iron and brass to repair the house of LORD. ¹³ So the workmen labored, and the work of repairing went forward in their hands, and they set up the house of God in its state, and strengthened it. ¹⁴ And when they had made an end, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, from which were made vessels for the house of LORD, even vessels with which to minister and to offer, and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt offerings in the house of LORD continually all the days of Jehoiada.

¹¹ And indeed every priest stands daily serving and offering the same sacrifices often, which can never take away sins.

¹² And the fire upon the altar shall be kept burning on it; it shall not go out. And the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and he shall lay the burnt offering in order upon it, and shall burn the fat of the peace offerings on it. ¹³ Fire shall be kept burning upon the altar continually; it shall not go out.

²⁷ And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of LORD to this day in the place which he should choose.

⁵ Thus they were divided by lot, one sort with another. For there were rulers of the sanctuary, and rulers for God, both of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.

⁷ Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah,

⁸ And they cast lots for their offices, all alike, as well the small as the great, the teacher as the scholar. ⁹ Now the first lot came forth for Asaph to Joseph, the second to Gedaliah (he and his brothers and sons were twelve),

¹ And the rulers of the people dwelt in Jerusalem. The rest of the people also cast lots to bring one of ten to dwell in Jerusalem the holy city, and nine parts in the other cities.

³¹ and for the wood offering, at times appointed, and for the first-fruits. Remember me, O my God, for good.

¹⁸ The lot causes contentions to cease, and decides between the mighty.

¹⁶ And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts of it sufficient for a burnt offering.

³ But in them is a reminder of sins each year. ⁴ For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. ⁵ Therefore when he comes into the world, he says, Sacrifice and offering thou did not desire, but thou prepared for me a body. ⁶ In whole burnt offerings, and for sin thou were not pleased. ⁷ Then I said, Lo, I come (in the volume of a book it is written about me) to do thy will, O God,

¹⁹ The first of the first-fruits of thy ground thou shall bring into the house of LORD thy God. Thou shall not boil a kid in its mother's milk.

²⁶ The first of the first-fruits of thy ground thou shall bring to the house of LORD thy God. Thou shall not boil a kid in its mother's milk.

²³ And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit of it as their uncircumcision. Three years they shall be as uncircumcised to you; it shall not be eaten. ²⁴ But in the fourth year all the fruit of it shall be holy, for giving praise to LORD. ²⁵ And in the fifth year ye shall eat of the fruit of it, that it may yield to you the increase of it. I am LORD your God. ²⁶ Ye shall not eat anything with the blood. Neither shall ye use enchantments, nor practice augury.

² And thy brothers also, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring thou near with thee, that they may be joined to thee, and minister to thee, but thou and thy sons with thee shall be before the tent of the testimony.

¹² All the best of the oil, and all the best of the vintage, and of the grain, the first-fruits of them which they give to LORD, I have given them to thee.

² that thou shall take of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which thou shall bring in from thy land that LORD thy God gives thee, and thou shall put it in a basket, and shall go to the place which LORD thy God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there.

³ Also he appointed the king's portion of his substance for the burnt offerings, namely, for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the sabbaths, and for the new moons, and for the set feasts, as it is written in the law of LORD. ⁴ Moreover he commanded the people who dwelt in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might give themselves to the law of LORD. ⁵ And as soon as the commandment came abroad, the sons of Israel gave in abundance the first-fruits of grain, new wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field. And they brought in the tithe of all things abundantly. ⁶ And the sons of Israel and Judah, who dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of dedicated things which were consecrated to LORD their God, and laid them by heaps. ⁷ In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month. ⁸ And when Hezekiah and the rulers came and saw the heaps, they blessed LORD, and his people Israel. ⁹ Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps. ¹⁰ And Azariah the chief priest, of the house of Zadok, answered him and said, Since they began to bring the oblations into the house of LORD, we have eaten and had enough, and have plenty left. For LORD has blessed his people, and that which is left is this great store.

⁹ Honor LORD with thy substance, and with the first-fruits of all thine increase, ¹⁰ so thy barns shall be filled with plenty, and thy vats shall overflow with new wine.

⁸ Will a man rob God? Yet ye rob me. But ye say, How have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. ⁹ Ye are cursed with the curse, for ye rob me, even this whole nation. ¹⁰ Bring ye the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house, and prove me now with this, says LORD of hosts, if I will not open to you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough for it. ¹¹ And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground, nor shall your vine cast its fruit before the time in the field, says LORD of hosts. ¹² And all nations shall call you blessed, for ye shall be a delightful land, says LORD of hosts.

² Sanctify to me all the firstborn, whatever opens the womb among the sons of Israel. Both of man and of beast, it is mine.

¹² that thou shall set apart to LORD all that opens the womb. And every firstling which thou have that comes of a beast, the males shall be LORD's. ¹³ And every firstling of a donkey thou shall redeem with a lamb, and if thou will not redeem it, then thou shall break its neck. And all the firstborn of man among thy sons thou shall redeem. ¹⁴ And it shall be, when thy son asks thee in time to come, saying, What is this? that thou shall say to him, By strength of hand LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage. ¹⁵ And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that LORD slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast. Therefore I sacrifice to LORD all that opens the womb, being males, but all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.

¹⁹ All that opens the womb is mine, and all thy cattle that is male, the firstlings of cow and sheep.

²⁶ Only the firstling among beasts, which is made a firstling to LORD, no man shall sanctify it, whether it be ox or sheep, it is LORD's. ²⁷ And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall ransom it according to thine estimation, and shall add to it the fifth part of it, or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation.

⁹ This shall be thine of the most holy things, reserved from the fire: every oblation of theirs, even every meal offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs, which they shall render to me, shall be most holy for thee and for thy sons. ¹⁰ As the most holy things thou shall eat of it; every male shall eat of it. It shall be holy to thee. ¹¹ And this is thine: the heave offering of their gift, even all the wave offerings of the sons of Israel. I have given them to thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, as a portion forever. Everyone who is clean in thy house shall eat of it. ¹² All the best of the oil, and all the best of the vintage, and of the grain, the first-fruits of them which they give to LORD, I have given them to thee. ¹³ The first-ripe fruits of all that is in their land, which they bring to LORD, shall be thine. Everyone who is clean in thy house shall eat of it. ¹⁴ Everything devoted in Israel shall be thine. ¹⁵ Everything that opens the womb, of all flesh which they offer to LORD, both of man and beast shall be thine. Nevertheless the firstborn of man thou shall surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts thou shall redeem. ¹⁶ And those that are to be redeemed of them from a month old shall thou redeem, according to thine estimation, for the money of five shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary (the same is twenty gerahs). ¹⁷ But the firstling of an ox, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shall not redeem. They are holy. Thou shall sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shall burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savor to LORD. ¹⁸ And the flesh of them shall be thine. As the wave-breast and as the right thigh, it shall be thine. ¹⁹ All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the sons of Israel offer to LORD, I have given thee, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, as a portion forever. It is a covenant of salt forever before LORD to thee and to thy seed with thee.

⁶ And there ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herd and of your flock.

⁶ Or have only I and Barnabas no right not to be occupied earning a living? ⁷ Who ever enlists in an army at his own wage? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat from the fruit of it? Or who feeds a flock and does not eat from the milk of the flock? ⁸ Do I say these things according to man, or does not the law also say these things? ⁹ For it is written in the law of Moses thou shall not muzzle an ox threshing grain. Is God concerned about oxen, ¹⁰ or does he speak altogether for our sake? For our sake, for it was written, He who plows ought to plow with hope, and he who threshes with his hope, with hope to share. ¹¹ If we sowed spiritual things to you, is it a great thing if we will reap your carnal things? ¹² If others are partakers of the right from you, are not we more? Nevertheless we did not use this right, but we cover all things, so that we may not give any hindrance to the good news of the Christ. ¹³ Know ye not that those being employed at the sacred things eat from the temple, and those who serve at the altar are partakers at the altar? ¹⁴ And so the Lord commanded those who proclaim the good news to live from the good news.

⁶ But let him who is taught in the word share in all good things with him who teaches.

¹⁷ Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave-loaves of two tenth parts of an ephah. They shall be of fine flour. They shall be baked with leaven, for first-fruits to LORD.

³⁰ And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is LORD's; it is holy to LORD. ³¹ And if a man will redeem any of his tithe, he shall add to it the fifth part of it. ³² And all the tithe of the herd or the flock, whatever passes under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to LORD. ³³ He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it. And if he changes it at all, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.

¹⁹ then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall offer up a heave offering to LORD. ²⁰ Of the first of your dough ye shall offer up a cake for a heave offering, as the heave offering of the threshing-floor, so shall ye heave it. ²¹ Of the first of your dough ye shall give to LORD a heave offering throughout your generations.

¹² All the best of the oil, and all the best of the vintage, and of the grain, the first-fruits of them which they give to LORD, I have given them to thee. ¹³ The first-ripe fruits of all that is in their land, which they bring to LORD, shall be thine. Everyone who is clean in thy house shall eat of it.

²¹ And to the sons of Levi, behold, I have given all the tithe in Israel for an inheritance, in return for their service which they serve, even the service of the tent of meeting.

²⁴ For the tithe of the sons of Israel, which they offer as a heave offering to LORD, I have given to the Levites for an inheritance. Therefore I have said to them, Among the sons of Israel they shall have no inheritance. ²⁵ And LORD spoke to Moses, saying, ²⁶ Moreover thou shall speak to the Levites, and say to them, When ye take from the sons of Israel the tithe which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up a heave offering of it for LORD, a tithe of the tithe. ²⁷ And your heave offering shall be reckoned to you, as though it were the grain of the threshing-floor, and as the fullness of the winepress. ²⁸ Thus ye also shall offer a heave offering to LORD of all your tithes, which ye receive of the sons of Israel. And from it ye shall give LORD's heave offering to Aaron the priest. ²⁹ Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave offering of LORD, of all the best of it, even the hallowed part of it out of it. ³⁰ Therefore thou shall say to them, When ye heave the best of it from it, then it shall be reckoned to the Levites as the increase of the threshing-floor, and as the increase of the wine-press. ³¹ And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households, for it is your reward in return for your service in the tent of meeting. ³² And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it the best of it. And ye shall not profane the holy things of the sons of Israel, that ye not die.

⁴ The first-fruits of thy grain, of thy new wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, thou shall give him.

⁵ And against the wall of the house he built stories round about, against the walls of the house round about, both of the temple and of the oracle. And he made side-chambers round about. ⁶ The lowest story was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad, for on the outside he made offsets in the wall of the house round about, that the beams should not be fastened in the walls of the house. ⁷ And the house, when it was being built, was built of stone made ready at the quarry. And there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was being built. ⁸ The door for the middle side-chambers was in the right side of the house. And they went up by winding stairs into the middle story, and out of the middle into the third. ⁹ So he built the house, and finished it. And he covered the house with beams and planks of cedar. ¹⁰ And he built the stories against all the house, each five cubits high: and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.

⁶ And the sons of Israel and Judah, who dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of dedicated things which were consecrated to LORD their God, and laid them by heaps.

¹¹ Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of LORD, and they prepared them. ¹² And they brought in the oblations and the tithes and the dedicated things faithfully. And Conaniah the Levite was ruler over them, and Shimei his brother was second.

⁵ had prepared for him a great chamber, where formerly they laid the meal offerings, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the grain, the new wine, and the oil, which were given by commandment to the Levites, and the singers, and the porters, and the heave offerings for the priests.

⁹ Then I commanded, and they cleansed the chambers. And there I brought again the vessels of the house of God, with the meal offerings and the frankincense.

⁸ Will a man rob God? Yet ye rob me. But ye say, How have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.

¹⁰ Bring ye the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house, and prove me now with this, says LORD of hosts, if I will not open to you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough for it.

²⁶ Moreover thou shall speak to the Levites, and say to them, When ye take from the sons of Israel the tithe which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up a heave offering of it for LORD, a tithe of the tithe. ²⁷ And your heave offering shall be reckoned to you, as though it were the grain of the threshing-floor, and as the fullness of the winepress. ²⁸ Thus ye also shall offer a heave offering to LORD of all your tithes, which ye receive of the sons of Israel. And from it ye shall give LORD's heave offering to Aaron the priest.

²⁶ for the four chief porters, who were Levites, were in an office of trust, and were over the chambers and over the treasuries in the house of God.

¹² Then all Judah brought the tithe of the grain and the new wine and the oil to the treasuries. ¹³ And I made treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah, and next to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah. For they were counted faithful, and their business was to distribute to their brothers.

³⁰ Therefore thou shall say to them, When ye heave the best of it from it, then it shall be reckoned to the Levites as the increase of the threshing-floor, and as the increase of the wine-press.

⁶ And there ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herd and of your flock. ⁷ And there ye shall eat before LORD your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand to, ye and your households, in which LORD thy God has blessed thee. ⁸ Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatever is right in his own eyes. ⁹ For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which LORD thy God gives thee. ¹⁰ But when ye go over the Jordan, and dwell in the land which LORD your God causes you to inherit, and he gives you rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety, ¹¹ then it shall come to pass that to the place which LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there, there ye shall bring all that I command you: your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow to LORD.

¹⁷ Thou may not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy grain, or of thy new wine, or of thine oil, or the firstlings of thy herd or of thy flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vow, nor thy freewill offerings, nor the heave offering of thy hand.

²³ And thou shall eat before LORD thy God, in the place which he shall choose to cause his name to dwell there, the tithe of thy grain, of thy new wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herd and of thy flock, that thou may learn to fear LORD thy God always. ²⁴ And if the way is too long for thee, so that thou are not able to carry it, because the place is too far from thee, which LORD thy God shall choose to set his name there when LORD thy God shall bless thee, ²⁵ then thou shall turn it into money, and bind up the money in thy hand, and shall go to the place which LORD thy God shall choose. ²⁶ And thou shall bestow the money for whatever thy soul desires, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatever thy soul asks of thee. And thou shall eat there before LORD thy God, and thou shall rejoice, thou and thy household. ²⁷ And the Levite who is within thy gates, thou shall not forsake him, for he has no portion nor inheritance with thee.

¹² And they brought in the oblations and the tithes and the dedicated things faithfully. And Conaniah the Levite was ruler over them, and Shimei his brother was second.

¹⁰ And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them, so that the Levites and the singers, who did the work, had fled each one to his field. ¹¹ Then I contended with the rulers, and said, Why is the house of God forsaken? And I gathered them together, and set them in their place. ¹² Then all Judah brought the tithe of the grain and the new wine and the oil to the treasuries.

⁹ For the sake of the house of LORD our God I will seek thy good.

²⁵ Not forsaking the assembling together of ourselves, as is the habit of some, but exhorting, and so much the more as long as ye see the day approaching.
