28:43 They shall be on Aaron, and on his sons, when they go in to
the Tent of Meeting, or when they come near to the altar to minister
in the holy place; that they don't bear iniquity, and die: it shall

Exo
29:1 "This is the thing that you shall do to them to make them
holy, to minister to me in the priest's office: take one young bull
and two rams without blemish,
Exo
29:2 unleavened bread, unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and

horns of the altar with your finger; and you shall pour out all the
blood at the base of the altar.
Exo
29:13 You shall take all the fat that covers the innards, the cover
of the liver, the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, and burn
them on the altar.
Exo
29:14 But the flesh of the bull, and its skin, and its dung, you
shall burn with fire outside of the camp: it is a sin offering.
Exo
29:15 "You shall also take the one ram; and Aaron and his sons
shall lay their hands on the head of the ram.
Exo
29:16 You shall kill the ram, and you shall take its blood, and

Exo
29:17 You shall cut the ram into its pieces, and wash its innards,
and its legs, and put them with its pieces, and with its head.
Exo
29:18 You shall burn the whole ram on the altar: it is a burnt
offering to Yahweh; it is a pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire
to Yahweh.
Exo
29:19 "You shall take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons
shall lay their hands on the head of the ram.
Exo
29:20 Then you shall kill the ram, and take some of its blood, and
put it on the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and on the tip of the
right ear of his sons, and on the thumb of their right hand, and on
the big toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood around on the
altar.
Exo
29:21 You shall take of the blood that is on the altar, and of the
anointing oil, and sprinkle it on Aaron, and on his garments, and on
his sons, and on the garments of his sons with him: and he shall be
made holy, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments
with him.
Exo
29:22 Also you shall take some of the ram's fat, the fat tail, the
fat that covers the innards, the cover of the liver, the two kidneys,
the fat that is on them, and the right thigh (for it is a ram of
consecration),
Exo
29:23 and one loaf of bread, one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer
out of the basket of unleavened bread that is before Yahweh.
Exo
29:24 You shall put all of this in Aaron's hands, and in his sons'
hands, and shall wave them for a wave offering before Yahweh.
Exo
29:25 You shall take them from their hands, and burn them on the
altar on the burnt offering, for a pleasant aroma before Yahweh: it
is an offering made by fire to Yahweh.
Exo
29:26 "You shall take the breast of Aaron's ram of
consecration, and wave it for a wave offering before Yahweh: and it
shall be your portion.
Exo
29:27 You shall sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the
thigh of the wave offering, which is waved, and which is heaved up,
of the ram of consecration, even of that which is for Aaron, and of
that which is for his sons:
Exo
29:28 and it shall be for Aaron and his sons as their portion
forever from the children of Israel; for it is a wave offering: and
it shall be a wave offering from the children of Israel of the
sacrifices of their peace offerings, even their wave offering to
Yahweh.
Exo
29:29 "The holy garments of Aaron shall be for his sons after
him, to be anointed in them, and to be consecrated in them.
Exo
29:30 Seven days shall the son who is priest in his place put them
on, when he comes into the Tent of Meeting to minister in the holy
place.
Exo
29:31 "You shall take the ram of consecration, and boil its
flesh in a holy place.
Exo
29:32 Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the
bread that is in the basket, at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
Exo
29:33 They shall eat those things with which atonement was made, to
consecrate and sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat of it,
because they are holy.
Exo
29:34 If anything of the flesh of the consecration, or of the bread,
remains to the morning, then you shall burn the remainder with fire:
it shall not be eaten, because it is holy.
Exo
29:35 "You shall do so to Aaron, and to his sons, according to
all that I have commanded you. You shall consecrate them seven days.
Exo
29:36 Every day you shall offer the bull of sin offering for
atonement: and you shall cleanse the altar, when you make atonement
for it; and you shall anoint it, to sanctify it.
Exo
29:37 Seven days you shall make atonement for the altar, and
sanctify it: and the altar shall be most holy; whatever touches the
altar shall be holy.
Exo
29:38 "Now this is that which you shall offer on the altar: two
lambs a year old day by day continually.
Exo
29:39 The one lamb you shall offer in the morning; and the other
lamb you shall offer at evening:
Exo
29:40 and with the one lamb a tenth part of an ephah of fine flour
mixed with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil, and the fourth
part of a hin of wine for a drink offering.
Exo
29:41 The other lamb you shall offer at evening, and shall do to it
according to the meal offering of the morning, and according to its
drink offering, for a pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire to
Yahweh.
Exo
29:42 It shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your
generations at the door of the Tent of Meeting before Yahweh, where I
will meet with you, to speak there to you.
Exo
29:43 There I will meet with the children of Israel; and the place
shall be sanctified by my glory.
Exo
29:44 I will sanctify the Tent of Meeting and the altar: Aaron also
and his sons I will sanctify, to minister to me in the priest's
office.
Exo
29:45 I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their
God.
Exo
29:46 They shall know that I am Yahweh their God, who brought them
forth out of the land of Egypt, that I might dwell among them: I am
Yahweh their God.
Exodus
30, 31
Exo
30:1 "You shall make an altar to burn incense on. You shall
make it of acacia wood.
Exo
30:2 Its length shall be a cubit, and its breadth a cubit. It shall
be square, and its height shall be two cubits. Its horns shall be of
one piece with it.
Exo
30:3 You shall overlay it with pure gold, its top, its sides around
it, and its horns; and you shall make a gold molding around it.

for places for poles with which to bear it.

gold.

When he tends the lamps, he shall burn it.

30:8 When Aaron lights the lamps at evening, he shall burn it, a
perpetual incense before Yahweh throughout your generations.
Exo
30:9 You shall offer no strange incense on it, nor burnt offering,
nor meal offering; and you shall pour no drink offering on it.
Exo
30:10 Aaron shall make atonement on its horns once in the year; with
the blood of the sin offering of atonement once in the year he shall
make atonement for it throughout your generations. It is most holy to
Yahweh."
Exo
30:11 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Exo
30:12 "When you take a census of the children of Israel,
according to those who are numbered among them, then each man shall
give a ransom for his soul to Yahweh, when you number them; that
there be no plague among them when you number them.
Exo
30:13 They shall give this, 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 Yahweh.
Exo
30:14 Everyone who passes over to those who are numbered, from
twenty years old and upward, shall give the offering to Yahweh.
Exo
30:15 The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give
less, than the half shekel, when they give the offering of Yahweh, to
make atonement for your souls.
Exo
30:16 You shall take the atonement money from the children of
Israel, and shall appoint it for the service of the Tent of Meeting;
that it may be a memorial for the children of Israel before Yahweh,
to make atonement for your souls."
Exo
30:17 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Exo
30:18 "You shall also make a basin of brass, and its base of
brass, in which to wash. You shall put it between the Tent of Meeting
and the altar, and you shall put water in it.
Exo
30:19 Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet in
it.
Exo
30:20 When they go into the Tent of Meeting, they shall wash with
water, that they not die; or when they come near to the altar to
minister, to burn an offering made by fire to Yahweh.
Exo
30:21 So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they not
die: and it shall be a statute forever to them, even to him and to
his descendants throughout their generations."
Exo
30:22 Moreover Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Exo
30:23 "Also take fine spices: of liquid myrrh, five hundred
shekels; and of fragrant cinnamon half as much, even two hundred and
fifty; and of fragrant cane, two hundred and fifty;
Exo
30:24 and of cassia five hundred, after the shekel of the sanctuary;
and a hin of olive oil.
Exo
30:25 You shall make it a holy anointing oil, a perfume compounded
after the art of the perfumer: it shall be a holy anointing oil.
Exo
30:26 You shall use it to anoint the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the
testimony,
Exo
30:27 the table and all its articles, the lampstand and its
accessories, the altar of incense,
Exo
30:28 the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the
basin with its base.
Exo
30:29 You shall sanctify them, that they may be most holy. Whatever
touches them shall be holy.
Exo
30:30 You shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and sanctify them, that
they may minister to me in the priest's office.
Exo
30:31 You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'This shall
be a holy anointing oil to me throughout your generations.
Exo
30:32 It shall not be poured on man's flesh, neither shall you make
any like it, according to its composition: it is holy. It shall be
holy to you.
Exo
30:33 Whoever compounds any like it, or whoever puts any of it on a
stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.' "
Exo
30:34 Yahweh said to Moses, "Take to yourself sweet spices, gum
resin, and onycha, and galbanum; sweet spices with pure frankincense:
of each shall there be an equal weight;
Exo
30:35 and you shall make incense of it, a perfume after the art of
the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy:
Exo
30:36 and you shall beat some of it very small, and put some of it
before the testimony in the Tent of Meeting, where I will meet with
you. It shall be to you most holy.
Exo
30:37 The incense which you shall make, according to its composition
you shall not make for yourselves: it shall be to you holy for
Yahweh.
Exo
30:38 Whoever shall make any like that, to smell of it, he shall be
cut off from his people."
Exo
31:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Exo
31:2 "Behold, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the
son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:
Exo
31:3 and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, and in
understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
Exo
31:4 to devise skillful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and
in brass,
Exo
31:5 and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood,
to work in all manner of workmanship.
Exo
31:6 I, behold, I have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of
Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the heart of all who are
wise-hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have
commanded you:
Exo
31:7 the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the testimony, the mercy seat
that is on it, all the furniture of the Tent,
Exo
31:8 the table and its vessels, the pure lampstand with all its
vessels, the altar of incense,
Exo
31:9 the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels, the basin and
its base,
Exo
31:10 the finely worked garments--the holy garments for Aaron the
priest--the garments of his sons to minister in the priest's office,
Exo
31:11 the anointing oil, and the incense of sweet spices for the
holy place: according to all that I have commanded you they shall
do."
Exo
31:12 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Exo
31:13 "Speak also to the children of Israel, saying, 'Most
certainly you shall keep my Sabbaths: for it is a sign between me and
you throughout your generations; that you may know that I am Yahweh
who sanctifies you.
Exo
31:14 You shall keep the Sabbath therefore; for it is holy to you.
Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever
does any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his
people.
Exo
31:15 Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a
Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to Yahweh. Whoever does any work on the
Sabbath day shall surely be put to death.
Exo
31:16 Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to
observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual
covenant.
Exo
31:17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever;
for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day
he rested, and was refreshed.' "
Exo
31:18 He gave to Moses, when he finished speaking with him on Mount
Sinai, the two tablets of the testimony, stone tablets, written with
God's finger.
Mark 10
Mar 10:1
He arose from there and came into the borders of Judea and beyond the
Jordan. Multitudes came together to him again. As he usually did, he
was again teaching them.
Mar 10:2
Pharisees came to him testing him, and asked him, "Is it lawful
for a man to divorce his wife?"
Mar 10:3
He answered, "What did Moses command you?"
Mar 10:4
They said, "Moses allowed a certificate of divorce to be
written, and to divorce her."
Mar 10:5
But Jesus said to them, "For your hardness of heart, he wrote
you this commandment.
Mar 10:6
But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and
female.
Mar 10:7
For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will join
to his wife,
Mar 10:8
and the two will become one flesh, so that they are no longer two,
but one flesh.
Mar 10:9
What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate."
Mar 10:10
In the house, his disciples asked him again about the same matter.
Mar 10:11
He said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife, and marries
another, commits adultery against her.
Mar 10:12
If a woman herself divorces her husband, and marries another, she
commits adultery."
Mar 10:13
They were bringing to him little children, that he should touch them,
but the disciples rebuked those who were bringing them.
Mar 10:14
But when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation, and said to
them, "Allow the little children to come to me! Don't forbid
them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
Mar 10:15
Most certainly I tell you, whoever will not receive the Kingdom of
God like a little child, he will in no way enter into it."
Mar 10:16
He took them in his arms, and blessed them, laying his hands on them.
Mar 10:17
As he was going out into the way, one ran to him, knelt before him,
and asked him, "Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit
eternal life?"
Mar 10:18
Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good
except one-God.
Mar 10:19
You know the commandments: 'Do not murder,' 'Do not commit adultery,'
'Do not steal,' 'Do not give false testimony,' 'Do not defraud,'
'Honor your father and mother.' "
Mar 10:20
He said to him, "Teacher, I have observed all these things from
my youth."
Mar 10:21
Jesus looking at him loved him, and said to him, "One thing you
lack. Go, sell whatever you have, and give to the poor, and you will
have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me, taking up the cross."
Mar 10:22
But his face fell at that saying, and he went away sorrowful, for he
was one who had great possessions.
Mar 10:23
Jesus looked around, and said to his disciples, "How difficult
it is for those who have riches to enter into the Kingdom of God!"
Mar 10:24
The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answered again,
"Children, how hard is it for those who trust in riches to enter
into the Kingdom of God!
Mar 10:25
It is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye than for a rich
man to enter into the Kingdom of God."
Mar 10:26
They were exceedingly astonished, saying to him, "Then who can
be saved?"
Mar 10:27
Jesus, looking at them, said, "With men it is impossible, but
not with God, for all things are possible with God."
Mar 10:28
Peter began to tell him, "Behold, we have left all, and have
followed you."
Mar 10:29
Jesus said, "Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has
left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife,
or children, or land, for my sake, and for the sake of the Good News,
Mar 10:30
but he will receive one hundred times more now in this time, houses,
brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and land, with persecutions;
and in the age to come eternal life.
Mar 10:31
But many who are first will be last; and the last first."
Mar 10:32
They were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going in
front of them, and they were amazed; and those who followed were
afraid. He again took the twelve, and began to tell them the things
that were going to happen to him.
Mar 10:33
"Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be
delivered to the chief priests and the scribes. They will condemn him
to death, and will deliver him to the Gentiles.
Mar 10:34
They will mock him, spit on him, scourge him, and kill him. On the
third day he will rise again."
Mar 10:35
James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came near to him, saying,
"Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we will ask."
Mar 10:36
He said to them, "What do you want me to do for you?"
Mar 10:37
They said to him, "Grant to us that we may sit, one at your
right hand, and one at your left hand, in your glory."
Mar 10:38
But Jesus said to them, "You don't know what you are asking. Are
you able to drink the cup that I drink, and to be baptized with the
baptism that I am baptized with?"
Mar 10:39
They said to him, "We are able." Jesus said to them, "You
shall indeed drink the cup that I drink, and you shall be baptized
with the baptism that I am baptized with;
Mar 10:40
but to sit at my right hand and at my left hand is not mine to give,
but for whom it has been prepared."
Mar 10:41
When the ten heard it, they began to be indignant towards James and
John.
Mar 10:42
Jesus summoned them, and said to them, "You know that they who
are recognized as rulers over the nations lord it over them, and
their great ones exercise authority over them.
Mar 10:43
But it shall not be so among you, but whoever wants to become great
among you shall be your servant.
Mar 10:44
Whoever of you wants to become first among you, shall be bondservant
of all.
Mar 10:45
For the Son of Man also came not to be served, but to serve, and to
give his life as a ransom for many."
Mar 10:46
They came to Jericho. As he went out from Jericho, with his disciples
and a great multitude, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind
beggar, was sitting by the road.
Mar 10:47
When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out,
and say, "Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!"
Mar 10:48
Many rebuked him, that he should be quiet, but he cried out much
more, "You son of David, have mercy on me!"
Mar 10:49
Jesus stood still, and said, "Call him." They called the
blind man, saying to him, "Cheer up! Get up. He is calling you!"
Mar 10:50
He, casting away his cloak, sprang up, and came to Jesus.
Mar 10:51
Jesus asked him, "What do you want me to do for you?" The
blind man said to him, "Rhabboni, that I may see again."
Mar 10:52
Jesus said to him, "Go your way. Your faith has made you well."
Immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
Mark 11
Mar 11:1
When they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the
Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
Mar 11:2
and said to them, "Go your way into the village that is opposite
you. Immediately as you enter into it, you will find a young donkey
tied, on which no one has sat. Untie him, and bring him.
Mar 11:3
If anyone asks you, 'Why are you doing this?' say, 'The Lord needs
him;' and immediately he will send him back here."
Mar 11:4
They went away, and found a young donkey tied at the door outside in
the open street, and they untied him.
Mar 11:5
Some of those who stood there asked them, "What are you doing,
untying the young donkey?"
Mar 11:6
They said to them just as Jesus had said, and they let them go.
Mar 11:7
They brought the young donkey to Jesus, and threw their garments on
it, and Jesus sat on it.
Mar 11:8
Many spread their garments on the way, and others were cutting down
branches from the trees, and spreading them on the road.
Mar 11:9
Those who went in front, and those who followed, cried out, "Hosanna!
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
Mar 11:10
Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is coming in the name
of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!"
Mar 11:11
Jesus entered into the temple in Jerusalem. When he had looked around
at everything, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany with the
twelve.
Mar 11:12
The next day, when they had come out from Bethany, he was hungry.
Mar 11:13
Seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came to see if perhaps
he might find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing
but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.
Mar 11:14
Jesus told it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again!"
and his disciples heard it.
Mar 11:15
They came to Jerusalem, and Jesus entered into the temple, and began
to throw out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and
overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of those
who sold the doves.
Mar 11:16
He would not allow anyone to carry a container through the temple.
Mar 11:17
He taught, saying to them, "Isn't it written, 'My house will be
called a house of prayer for all the nations?' But you have made it a
den of robbers!"
Mar 11:18
The chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might
destroy him. For they feared him, because all the multitude was
astonished at his teaching.
Mar 11:19
When evening came, he went out of the city.
Mar 11:20
As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away
from the roots.
Mar 11:21
Peter, remembering, said to him, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree
which you cursed has withered away."
Mar 11:22
Jesus answered them, "Have faith in God.
Mar 11:23
For most certainly I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain, 'Be
taken up and cast into the sea,' and doesn't doubt in his heart, but
believes that what he says is happening; he shall have whatever he
says.
Mar 11:24
Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for,
believe that you have received them, and you shall have them.
Mar 11:25
Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against
anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you
your transgressions.
Mar 11:26
But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive
your transgressions."
Mar 11:27
They came again to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the temple,
the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders came to him,
Mar 11:28
and they began saying to him, "By what authority do you do these
things? Or who gave you this authority to do these things?"
Mar 11:29
Jesus said to them, "I will ask you one question. Answer me, and
I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
Mar 11:30
The baptism of John-was it from heaven, or from men? Answer me."
Mar 11:31
They reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we should say, 'From
heaven;' he will say, 'Why then did you not believe him?'
Mar 11:32
If we should say, 'From men' "-they feared the people, for all
held John to really be a prophet.
Mar 11:33
They answered Jesus, "We don't know." Jesus said to them,
"Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things."
