Lev
19:5 " 'When you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings to
Yahweh, you shall offer it so that you may be accepted.
Lev
19:6 It shall be eaten the same day you offer it, and on the next
day: and if anything remains until the third day, it shall be burned
with fire.
Lev
19:7 If it is eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination.

19:8 but everyone who eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he
has profaned the holy thing of Yahweh, and that soul shall be cut off
from his people.
Lev
19:9 " 'When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not

the fallen grapes of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor
and for the foreigner. I am Yahweh your God.

and the sin which he has committed shall be forgiven him.
Lev
19:23 " 'When you come into the land, and have planted all
kinds of trees for food, then you shall count their fruit as

Lev
19:24 But in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, for giving
praise to Yahweh.
Lev

Egypt.

do them. I am Yahweh.' "

Lev
20:2 "Moreover, you shall tell the children of Israel, 'Anyone
of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners
in Israel, who gives any of his seed to Molech; he shall surely be
put to death. The people of the land shall stone him with stones.
Lev
20:3 I also will set my face against that person, and will cut him
off from among his people because he has given of his seed to Molech,
to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.
Lev
20:4 If the people of the land all hide their eyes from that person,
when he gives of his seed to Molech, and don't put him to death;
Lev
20:5 then I will set my face against that man, and against his
family, and will cut him off, and all who play the prostitute after
him, to play the prostitute with Molech, from among their people.
Lev
20:6 " 'The person that turns to those who are mediums, and to
the wizards, to play the prostitute after them, I will even set my
face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people.
Lev
20:7 " 'Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am
Yahweh your God.
Lev
20:8 You shall keep my statutes, and do them. I am Yahweh who

them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to

put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
Lev
20:17 " 'If a man takes his sister, his father's daughter, or
his mother's daughter, and sees her nakedness, and she sees his
nakedness; it is a shameful thing; and they shall be cut off in the
sight of the children of their people: he has uncovered his sister's
nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.
Lev
20:18 " 'If a man lies with a woman having her monthly period,

has uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be
cut off from among their people.

ordinances, and do them; that the land, where I am bringing you to
dwell, may not vomit you out.
Lev
20:23 You shall not walk in the customs of the nation, which I am
casting out before you: for they did all these things, and therefore
I abhorred them.
Lev
20:24 But I have said to you, "You shall inherit their land,
and I will give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and
honey." I am Yahweh your God, who has separated you from the
peoples.
Lev
20:25 " 'You shall therefore make a distinction between the
clean animal and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the
clean: and you shall not make yourselves abominable by animal, or by
bird, or by anything with which the ground teems, which I have
separated from you as unclean for you.
Lev
20:26 You shall be holy to me: for I, Yahweh, am holy, and have set
you apart from the peoples, that you should be mine.
Lev
20:27 " 'A man or a woman that is a medium, or is a wizard,
shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones;
their blood shall be upon them.' "
Leviticus
21, 22
Lev
21:1 Yahweh said to Moses, "Speak to the priests, the sons of
Aaron, and say to them, 'A priest shall not defile himself for the
dead among his people;
Lev
21:2 except for his relatives that are near to him: for his mother,
for his father, for his son, for his daughter, for his brother,
Lev
21:3 and for his virgin sister who is near to him, who has had no
husband; for her he may defile himself.
Lev
21:4 He shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his
people, to profane himself.
Lev
21:5 " 'They shall not shave their heads, neither shall they
shave off the corners of their beards, nor make any cuttings in their
flesh.
Lev
21:6 They shall be holy to their God, and not profane the name of
their God; for they offer the offerings of Yahweh made by fire, the
bread of their God; therefore they shall be holy.
Lev
21:7 " 'They shall not marry a woman who is a prostitute, or
profane; neither shall they marry a woman divorced from her husband:
for he is holy to his God.
Lev
21:8 You shall sanctify him therefore; for he offers the bread of
your God: he shall be holy to you: for I Yahweh, who sanctify you, am
holy.
Lev
21:9 " 'The daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by
playing the prostitute, she profanes her father: she shall be burned
with fire.
Lev
21:10 " 'He who is the high priest among his brothers, upon
whose head the anointing oil is poured, and that is consecrated to
put on the garments, shall not let the hair of his head hang loose,
nor tear his clothes;
Lev
21:11 neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself
for his father, or for his mother;
Lev
21:12 neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the
sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God
is upon him. I am Yahweh.
Lev
21:13 " 'He shall take a wife in her virginity.
Lev
21:14 A widow, or one divorced, or a woman who has been defiled, or
a prostitute, these he shall not marry: but a virgin of his own
people shall he take as a wife.
Lev
21:15 He shall not profane his seed among his people: for I am
Yahweh who sanctifies him.' "
Lev
21:16 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Lev
21:17 "Say to Aaron, 'None of your seed throughout their
generations who has a blemish, may approach to offer the bread of his
God.
Lev
21:18 For whatever man he is that has a blemish, he shall not draw
near: a blind man, or a lame, or he who has a flat nose, or any
deformity,
Lev
21:19 or a man who has an injured foot, or an injured hand,
Lev
21:20 or hunchbacked, or a dwarf, or one who has a defect in his
eye, or an itching disease, or scabs, or who has damaged testicles;
Lev
21:21 no man of the seed of Aaron the priest, who has a blemish,
shall come near to offer the offerings of Yahweh made by fire. Since
has a blemish, he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God.
Lev
21:22 He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and
of the holy.
Lev
21:23 He shall not come near to the veil, nor come near to the
altar, because he has a blemish; that he may not profane my
sanctuaries, for I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.' "
Lev
21:24 So Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the
children of Israel.
Lev
22:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Lev
22:2 "Tell Aaron and his sons to separate themselves from the
holy things of the children of Israel, which they make holy to me,
and that they not profane my holy name. I am Yahweh.
Lev
22:3 "Tell them, 'If anyone of all your seed throughout your
generations approaches the holy things, which the children of Israel
make holy to Yahweh, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall
be cut off from before me. I am Yahweh.
Lev
22:4 " 'Whoever of the seed of Aaron is a leper or has an
issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he is clean.
Whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose
seed goes from him;
Lev
22:5 or whoever touches any creeping thing, whereby he may be made
unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatever
uncleanness he has;
Lev
22:6 the person that touches any such shall be unclean until the
evening, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he bathe his
body in water.
Lev
22:7 When the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall
eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.
Lev
22:8 That which dies of itself, or is torn by animals, he shall not
eat, defiling himself by it. I am Yahweh.
Lev
22:9 " 'They shall therefore follow my requirements, lest they
bear sin for it, and die therein, if they profane it. I am Yahweh who
sanctifies them.
Lev
22:10 " 'No stranger shall eat of the holy thing: a foreigner
living with the priests, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the
holy thing.
Lev
22:11 But if a priest buys a slave, purchased by his money, he shall
eat of it; and such as are born in his house, they shall eat of his
bread.
Lev
22:12 If a priest's daughter is married to an outsider, she shall
not eat of the heave offering of the holy things.
Lev
22:13 But if a priest's daughter is a widow, or divorced, and has no
child, and has returned to her father's house, as in her youth, she
may eat of her father's bread: but no stranger shall eat any of it.
Lev
22:14 " 'If a man eats something holy unwittingly, then he
shall add the fifth part of its value to it, and shall give the holy
thing to the priest.
Lev
22:15 The priests shall not profane the holy things of the children
of Israel, which they offer to Yahweh,
Lev
22:16 and so cause them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt, when
they eat their holy things: for I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.' "
Lev
22:17 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Lev
22:18 "Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children
of Israel, and say to them, 'Whoever is of the house of Israel, or of
the foreigners in Israel, who offers his offering, whether it be any
of their vows, or any of their freewill offerings, which they offer
to Yahweh for a burnt offering;
Lev
22:19 that you may be accepted, you shall offer a male without
blemish, of the bulls, of the sheep, or of the goats.
Lev
22:20 But whatever has a blemish, that you shall not offer: for it
shall not be acceptable for you.
Lev
22:21 Whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to Yahweh 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
therein.
Lev
22:22 Blind, injured, maimed, having a wart, festering, or having a
running sore, you shall not offer these to Yahweh, nor make an
offering by fire of them on the altar to Yahweh.
Lev
22:23 Either a bull or a lamb that has any deformity or lacking in
his parts, that you may offer for a freewill offering; but for a vow
it shall not be accepted.
Lev
22:24 That which has its testicles bruised, crushed, broken, or cut,
you shall not offer to Yahweh; neither shall you do thus in your
land.
Lev
22:25 Neither shall you offer the bread of your God from the hand of
a foreigner of any of these; because their corruption is in them.
There is a blemish in them. They shall not be accepted for you.' "
Lev
22:26 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Lev
22:27 "When a bull, or a sheep, or a goat, is born, then it
shall remain seven days with its mother; and from the eighth day and
thenceforth it shall be accepted for the offering of an offering made
by fire to Yahweh.
Lev
22:28 Whether it is a cow or ewe, you shall not kill it and its
young both in one day.
Lev
22:29 "When you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to
Yahweh, you shall sacrifice it so that you may be accepted.
Lev
22:30 It shall be eaten on the same day; you shall leave none of it
until the morning. I am Yahweh.
Lev
22:31 "Therefore you shall keep my commandments, and do them. I
am Yahweh.
Lev
22:32 You shall not profane my holy name, but I will be made holy
among the children of Israel. I am Yahweh who makes you holy,
Lev
22:33 who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. I am
Yahweh."
Apr. 1
Luke 2
Luk 2:1
Now it happened in those days, that a decree went out from Caesar
Augustus that all the world should be enrolled.
Luk 2:2
This was the first enrollment made when Quirinius was governor of
Syria.
Luk 2:3
All went to enroll themselves, everyone to his own city.
Luk 2:4
Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into
Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he
was of the house and family of David;
Luk 2:5
to enroll himself with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him as
wife, being pregnant.
Luk 2:6
It happened, while they were there, that the day had come that she
should give birth.
Luk 2:7
She brought forth her firstborn son, and she wrapped him in bands of
cloth, and laid him in a feeding trough, because there was no room
for them in the inn.
Luk 2:8
There were shepherds in the same country staying in the field, and
keeping watch by night over their flock.
Luk 2:9
Behold, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the
Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
Luk
2:10 The angel said to them, "Don't be afraid, for behold, I
bring you good news of great joy which will be to all the people.
Luk
2:11 For there is born to you, this day, in the city of David, a
Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
Luk
2:12 This is the sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips
of cloth, lying in a feeding trough."
Luk
2:13 Suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly
army praising God, and saying,
Luk
2:14 "Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, good will
toward men."
Luk
2:15 It happened, when the angels went away from them into the sky,
that the shepherds said one to another, "Let's go to Bethlehem,
now, and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made
known to us."
Luk
2:16 They came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the
baby was lying in the feeding trough.
Luk
2:17 When they saw it, they publicized widely the saying which was
spoken to them about this child.
Luk
2:18 All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to
them by the shepherds.
Luk
2:19 But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.
Luk
2:20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the
things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told them.
Luk
2:21 When eight days were fulfilled for the circumcision of the
child, his name was called Jesus, which was given by the angel before
he was conceived in the womb.
Luk
2:22 When the days of their purification according to the law of
Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up to Jerusalem, to present
him to the Lord
Luk
2:23 (as it is written in the law of the Lord, "Every male who
opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord"),
Luk
2:24 and to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the
law of the Lord, "A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons."
Luk
2:25 Behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon.
This man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of
Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him.
Luk
2:26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should
not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
Luk
2:27 He came in the Spirit into the temple. When the parents brought
in the child, Jesus, that they might do concerning him according to
the custom of the law,
Luk
2:28 then he received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,
Luk
2:29 "Now you are releasing your servant, Master, according to
your word, in peace;
Luk
2:30 for my eyes have seen your salvation,
Luk
2:31 which you have prepared before the face of all peoples;
Luk
2:32 a light for revelation to the nations, and the glory of your
people Israel."
Luk
2:33 Joseph and his mother were marveling at the things which were
spoken concerning him,
Luk
2:34 and Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary, his mother, "Behold,
this child is set for the falling and the rising of many in Israel,
and for a sign which is spoken against.
Luk
2:35 Yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul, that the
thoughts of many hearts may be revealed."
Luk
2:36 There was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of
the tribe of Asher (she was of a great age, having lived with a
husband seven years from her virginity,
Luk
2:37 and she had been a widow for about eighty-four years), who
didn't depart from the temple, worshipping with fastings and
petitions night and day.
Luk
2:38 Coming up at that very hour, she gave thanks to the Lord, and
spoke of him to all those who were looking for redemption in
Jerusalem.
Luk
2:39 When they had accomplished all things that were according to
the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city,
Nazareth.
Luk
2:40 The child was growing, and was becoming strong in spirit, being
filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.
Luk
2:41 His parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the
Passover.
Luk
2:42 When he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem
according to the custom of the feast,
Luk
2:43 and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning,
the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. Joseph and his mother
didn't know it,
Luk
2:44 but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day's
journey, and they looked for him among their relatives and
acquaintances.
Luk
2:45 When they didn't find him, they returned to Jerusalem, looking
for him.
Luk
2:46 It happened after three days they found him in the temple,
sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them, and
asking them questions.
Luk
2:47 All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his
answers.
Luk
2:48 When they saw him, they were astonished, and his mother said to
him, "Son, why have you treated us this way? Behold, your father
and I were anxiously looking for you."
Luk
2:49 He said to them, "Why were you looking for me? Didn't you
know that I must be in my Father's house?"
Luk
2:50 They didn't understand the saying which he spoke to them.
Luk
2:51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth. He was
subject to them, and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
Luk
2:52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with
God and men.
Luke 3
Luk 3:1
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius
Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee,
and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and
Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
Luk 3:2
in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came
to John, the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness.
Luk 3:3
He came into all the region around the Jordan, preaching the baptism
of repentance for remission of sins.
Luk 3:4
As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet,
"The voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Make ready the way
of the Lord. Make his paths straight.
Luk 3:5
Every valley will be filled. Every mountain and hill will be brought
low. The crooked will become straight, and the rough ways smooth.
Luk 3:6
All flesh will see God's salvation.' "
Luk 3:7
He said therefore to the multitudes who went out to be baptized by
him, "You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the
wrath to come?
Luk 3:8
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and don't begin
to say among yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father;' for I tell
you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these
stones!
Luk 3:9
Even now the axe also lies at the root of the trees. Every tree
therefore that doesn't bring forth good fruit is cut down, and thrown
into the fire."
Luk
3:10 The multitudes asked him, "What then must we do?"
Luk
3:11 He answered them, "He who has two coats, let him give to
him who has none. He who has food, let him do likewise."
Luk
3:12 Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him,
"Teacher, what must we do?"
Luk
3:13 He said to them, "Collect no more than that which is
appointed to you."
Luk
3:14 Soldiers also asked him, saying, "What about us? What must
we do?" He said to them, "Extort from no one by violence,
neither accuse anyone wrongfully. Be content with your wages."
Luk
3:15 As the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in
their hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he was the Christ,
Luk
3:16 John answered them all, "I indeed baptize you with water,
but he comes who is mightier than I, the latchet of whose sandals I
