28 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
29 Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, He that offers his sacrifice of peace unto the LORD shall bring his offering of the sacrifice of his peace unto the LORD;
30 his own hands shall bring the offerings which must be burned unto the LORD; he shall bring the fat with the breast that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before the LORD.
31 And the priest shall incense the fat upon the altar; but the breast shall be Aaron’s and his sons’.
32 And ye shall give unto the priest to be elevated in offering the right shoulder of the sacrifices of your peace.
33 He among the sons of Aaron that offers the blood of the peace and the fat shall have the right shoulder for his part;
34 for I have taken from the sons of Israel of their sacrifices of peace the breast that is waved and the shoulder that is set apart and have given them unto Aaron, the priest, and unto his sons by a perpetual statute among the sons of Israel.
35 ¶ This is the anointing of Aaron and the anointing of his sons of the offerings on fire unto the LORD from the day when he brought them in to be priests of the LORD,
36 which portions the LORD commanded to be given to them from the day that he anointed them from among the sons of Israel by a perpetual statute throughout their generations.
37 This is the law of the burnt offering, of the present, of sin, of guilt, of the consecrations, and of the sacrifice of peace,
38 which the LORD commanded Moses in Mount Sinai in the day that he commanded the sons of Israel to offer their offerings unto the LORD in the wilderness of Sinai.
8 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 Take Aaron and his sons with him and the garments and the anointing oil and the bullock for the sin and the two rams and the basket of unleavened bread
3 and gather all the congregation together at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.
4 And Moses did as the LORD commanded him, and the congregation was gathered together unto the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.
5 And Moses said unto the congregation, This is what the LORD has commanded to be done.
6 Then Moses brought Aaron and his sons and washed them with water.
7 And he put upon him the coat and girded him with the girdle and then clothed him with the robe and put the ephod upon him, and he girded him with the special girdle of the ephod and bound it unto him therewith.
8 Then he put the pectoral upon him, and he put in the pectoral the Urim and the Thummim.
9 After that he put the mitre upon his head; also upon the mitre, even upon his forefront, he put the open flower of gold, the crown of holiness, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
10 And Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and all the things that were therein and sanctified them.
11 And he sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven times and anointed the altar and all its vessels, and the laver and its base, to sanctify them.
12 And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron’s head and anointed him, to sanctify him.
13 Then Moses brought Aaron’s sons and put coats upon them and girded them with girdles and put tiaras upon them, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
14 ¶ Next he brought the bullock of the sin, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the bullock of the sin,
15 and he slew it; and Moses took the blood and put it upon the horns of the altar round about with his finger and removed the sin from the altar and poured the remaining blood at the bottom of the altar and sanctified it, to make reconciliation upon it.
16 After that he took all the fat that was upon the intestines and the caul above the liver and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses incensed it upon the altar.
17 But the bullock and its hide, its flesh, and its dung, he burnt with fire outside the camp, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
18 After that, he brought the ram of the burnt offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram,
19 and he killed it; and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about.
20 And he cut the ram into pieces, and Moses incensed the head and the pieces and the fat.
21 Then he washed the intestines and the legs in water, and Moses burnt the whole ram upon the altar; it was a burnt sacrifice in a very acceptable aroma, an offering on fire unto the LORD, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
22 After that, he brought the other ram, the ram of the consecrations, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram,
23 and he slew it; and Moses took of the blood of it and put it upon the tip of Aaron’s right ear and upon the thumb of his right hand and upon the great toe of his right foot.
24 And he brought Aaron’s sons, and Moses put of the blood upon the tip of their right ears and upon the thumbs of their right hands and upon the great toes of their right feet; and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about;
25 and after that, he took the fat and the tail, and all the fat that was upon the intestines and the caul above the liver, and the two kidneys and their fat and the right shoulder;
26 and out of the basket of unleavened bread that was before the LORD he took one unleavened cake and a cake of oiled bread and one wafer and put them with the fat and with the right shoulder;
27 and he put all of it in Aaron’s hands and in his sons’ hands and caused them to be waved for a wave offering before the LORD.
28 After that Moses took them from their hands and incensed them on the altar upon the burnt offering; they are the consecrations in a very acceptable aroma, an offering on fire unto the LORD.
29 And Moses took the breast and waved it for a wave offering before the LORD; for of the ram of the consecrations this was Moses’ part, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
30 Then Moses took of the anointing oil and of the blood which was upon the altar and sprinkled it upon Aaron and upon his garments and upon his sons and upon his sons’ garments with him and sanctified Aaron and his garments, and his sons and his sons’ garments with him.
31 ¶ And Moses said unto Aaron and to his sons, Cook the flesh at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and eat it there with the bread that is in the basket of the consecrations, as I have commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it.
32 And that which remains of the flesh and of the bread ye shall burn with fire.
33 And ye shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle of the testimony in seven days, until the day that the days of your consecration are fulfilled; because for seven days ye shall be consecrated.
34 As has been done this day, so the LORD has commanded to do, to reconcile you.
35 Therefore shall ye abide at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony day and night for seven days and keep the charge of the LORD, that ye die not; for so I am commanded.
36 So Aaron and his sons did all things which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.
9 ¶ And it came to pass on the eighth day that Moses called Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel,
2 and he said unto Aaron, Take thee a young calf as the sin and a ram as a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer them before the LORD.
3 And unto the sons of Israel thou shalt speak, saying, Take ye a he goat as the sin and a calf and a lamb, both of the first year, without blemish, for a burnt offering;
4 likewise a bullock and a ram for a sacrifice of peace, to kill before the LORD; and a present mingled with oil; for today the LORD will appear unto you.
5 And they brought that which Moses commanded before the tabernacle of the testimony, and all the congregation drew near and stood before the LORD.
6 Then Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commanded that ye should do, and the glory of the LORD shall appear unto you.
31 ¶ There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him.
32 The multitude was sitting all around him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brothers and sisters seek thee without.
33 And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother or my brethren?
34 And looking round about on those who sat about him, he said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
35 For whosoever doeth the will of God, the same is my brother and my sister and my mother.
4 ¶ And he began again to teach by the sea side, and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship and sat in the sea, and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.
2 And he taught them many things by parables and said unto them in his doctrine,
3 Hearken; Behold, the sower went out to sow;
4 and it came to pass as he sowed some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.
5 And some fell on stony ground where it had not much earth, and immediately it sprang up because it had no depth of earth;
6 but when the sun was up, it was scorched, and because it had no root, it withered away.
7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
8 And other fell on good ground and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased and brought forth: some thirty and some sixty and some a hundred.
9 And he said unto them, He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
10 And when he was alone, those that were close to him with the twelve asked of him the parable.
11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but unto those that are without, all these things are done in parables,
12 that seeing they may see and not perceive, and hearing they may hear and not understand, lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
13 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? How then will ye understand all the parables?
14 The sower is he who sows the word.
15 And these are those by the way side, in whom the word is sown, but when they have heard, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts.
16 And likewise these are those who are sown on stony ground, who when they have heard the word immediately receive it with gladness
17 but have no root in themselves and are temporal; afterward, when tribulation or persecution arises for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended.
18 And these are those who are sown among thorns, such as hear the word,
19 and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches and the lusts of other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.
20 And these are those who are sown in good ground, such as hear the word and receive it and bring forth fruit: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred.
21 ¶ And he also said unto them, Is the lamp brought to be put under the bushel or under the bed? and not to be set in the lampstand?
22 For there is nothing hid which shall not be manifested; nor secret which shall not be exposed.
23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.
24 And he also said unto them, Take heed what ye hear; with the measure ye measure by, ye shall be measured by others, and unto you that hear shall more be added.
25 For he that has, to him shall be given; and he that has not, from him shall be taken even that which he has.
Zain
12 The wicked plots against the just and gnashes upon him with his teeth.
13 The Lord shall laugh at him, for he sees that his day is coming.
He
14 The wicked have drawn out the sword and have bent their bow to cast down the poor and needy and to slay such as are of upright conversation.
15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bow shall be broken.
Tet
16 A little that a righteous man has is better than the many riches of the sinners.
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous.
Jod
18 The LORD knows the days of the perfect, and their inheritance shall be for ever.
19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time, and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
Caph
20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD as the fattest of rams shall be consumed; as smoke they shall fade away.
Lamed
21 ¶ The wicked borrows and does not repay: but the righteous shows mercy and gives.
22 For such as are blessed of him shall inherit the earth, and those that are cursed of him shall be cut off.
Mem
23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, and he delights in his way.
24 Though he falls, he shall not be utterly cast down, for the LORD upholds him with his hand.
Nun
25 I have been young and now am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
26 He is ever merciful and lends, and his seed is a blessing.
Samech
27 Depart from evil, and do good, and thou shalt live for evermore.
28 For the LORD loves uprightness and does not forsake his merciful ones; they are preserved for ever, but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
Ain
29 The righteous shall inherit the earth and live upon it for ever.
5 ¶ He that gathers in summer is a wise son, but he that sleeps in harvest is a son that causes shame.
