7 And Moses said unto Aaron, Go unto the altar, and offer thy sin, and thy burnt offering, and make reconciliation for thyself and for the people; and offer the offering of the people and make reconciliation for them, as the LORD commanded.
8 ¶ Then Aaron went unto the altar and slew the calf of his own sin.
9 And the sons of Aaron brought the blood unto him, and he dipped his finger in the blood and put it upon the horns of the altar and poured out the remaining blood at the bottom of the altar;
10 and the fat and the kidneys and the caul above the liver of the sin, he incensed upon the altar, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
11 And the flesh and the hide he burnt with fire outside the camp.
12 Likewise he slew the burnt offering; and Aaron’s sons presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled round about upon the altar.
13 After that they presented the burnt offering unto him, by its pieces, and the head; and he incensed them upon the altar.
14 Then he washed the intestines and the legs and burnt them with the burnt offering on the altar.
15 He also offered the people’s offering and took the he goat, which was the sin of the people, and slew it and offered it for their sin, as the first.
16 And he brought the burnt offering and offered it according to the ordinance.
17 Likewise he offered the present and took a handful thereof and incensed it upon the altar, beside the burnt sacrifice of the morning.
18 He also slew the bullock and the ram in sacrifice of peace, which was for the people; and Aaron’s sons presented unto him the blood (which he sprinkled upon the altar round about)
19 and the fat of the bullock and of the ram, the tail and that which covers the inwards and the kidneys and the caul above the liver;
20 and they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burnt the fat upon the altar.
21 But the breasts, with the right shoulder, Aaron waved, waving them before the LORD, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
22 After that, Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people and blessed them and came down from offering the sin and the burnt offering and the peace.
23 ¶ And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the testimony and came out and blessed the people; and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the people.
24 And there came a fire out from before the LORD and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat, which when all the people saw, they praised and fell on their faces.
10 ¶ And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took each of them his censer and put fire therein and put incense thereon and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he had never commanded them.
2 And there went out fire from the LORD and devoured them, and they died before the LORD.
3 ¶ Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is what the LORD spoke, saying, I will be sanctified in those that come near me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron was silent.
4 And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.
5 So they went near and carried them in their coats out of the camp, as Moses had said.
6 Then Moses said unto Aaron and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons, Do not uncover your heads, neither rend your clothes lest ye die and lest wrath come upon the whole congregation; but your brethren, the whole house of Israel, shall lament the burning which the LORD has done.
7 And ye shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, lest ye die; for the anointing oil of the LORD is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses.
8 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Aaron, saying,
9 Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee when ye go into the tabernacle of the testimony, lest ye die; it shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations;
10 and this is that ye may discern between the holy and the profane and between the unclean and the clean
11 and that ye may teach the sons of Israel all the statutes which the LORD has spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.
12 ¶ And Moses spoke unto Aaron and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons that were left, Take the present that remains of the offerings on fire unto the LORD and eat it without leaven beside the altar; for it is most holy:
13 Ye must, therefore, eat it in the holy place, because it is thy due and thy sons’ due of the offerings of the LORD on fire; for so I am commanded.
14 And the waved breast and elevated shoulder shall ye likewise eat in a clean place, thou and thy sons and thy daughters with thee; for they are thy due and thy sons’ due, which are given out of the sacrifices of the peace of the sons of Israel.
15 With the offerings of the fat which are to be lit on fire, they shall bring the shoulder which is to be elevated and the breast which shall be waved as a wave offering before the LORD; and it shall be thine and thy sons’ with thee by a perpetual statute, as the LORD has commanded.
16 And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin, and, behold, it was burnt up, and he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron who were left alive, saying,
17 Why have ye not eaten of the atonement for sin in the holy place? For it is most holy, and God has given it to you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, that they may be reconciled before the LORD.
18 Behold, the blood of it was not brought in within the inner sanctuary; ye should indeed have eaten it in the holy place, as I commanded.
19 And Aaron replied unto Moses, Behold, today they have offered their sin and their burnt offering before the LORD; with all this, these things have befallen me; therefore if I had eaten of the atonement for sin today, would it have been accepted in the sight of the LORD?
20 And when Moses heard that, he was content.
26 He also said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground
27 and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring forth and grow up, he knows not how.
28 For the earth brings forth fruit of herself: first the blade, then the ear, after that the full grain in the ear.
29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he puts in the sickle because the harvest is come.
30 He also said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or with what parable shall we compare it?
31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that are in the earth;
32 but when it is sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all herbs and shoots out great branches, so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.
33 And with many such parables he spoke the word unto them as they were able to hear it.
34 But without a parable he did not speak unto them; and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.
35 ¶ And that same day, when evening was come, he said unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.
36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.
37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow; and they awoke him and said unto him, Master, dost thou not care that we perish?
39 And as he arose, he rebuked the wind and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? How is it that ye have no faith?
41 And they feared exceedingly and said one to another, Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
5 ¶ And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
2 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him a man of the tombs, with an unclean spirit,
3 who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no one could bind him, no, not with chains,
4 because many times he had been bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been broken in pieces by him, and the fetters shattered; neither could anyone tame him.
5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and hurting himself with stones.
6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him.
7 Crying out with a loud voice, he said, What hast thou with me, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.
8 For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.
9 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion, for we are many.
10 And he besought him much that he would not send him away out of that country.
11 Now near unto the mountains there was a great herd of swine feeding,
12 and all those devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
13 And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out and entered into the swine, and the herd fell over a cliff into the sea (they were about two thousand) and were choked in the sea.
14 And those that fed the swine fled and told it in the city and in the country. And people went out to see what it was that had happened.
15 And they come to Jesus and see him that was tormented by the demon and had the legion sitting and clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
16 And those that saw it told them what happened to him that had the demon and also concerning the swine.
17 And they began to plead with him to depart out of their borders.
18 And as he was entering into the ship, he that had been troubled by the demon besought him that he might be with him.
19 But Jesus suffered him not but said unto him, Go home to thy friends and family and tell them what great things the Lord has done with thee and how he has had mercy on thee.
20 And he went and began to publish in Decapolis what great things Jesus had done with him, and everyone marveled.
Pe
30 The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom, and his tongue brings forth judgment.
31 The law of his God is in his heart; therefore none of his steps shall slide.
Tzaddi
32 The wicked watches the righteous and seeks to slay him.
33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
Koph
34 ¶ Wait on the LORD and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the earth; when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
Resh
35 I have seen the wicked in great power and spreading himself like a green bay tree.
36 Yet he passed away, and, behold, he was not: I sought him, but he could not be found.
Schin
37 Mark the perfect, and behold the upright, for the end of each one of them is peace.
38 But the rebels were destroyed all together; the wicked were cut off in the end.
Tau
39 But the salvation of the righteous is the LORD; he is their strength in the time of trouble.
40 And the LORD helped them and delivers them; he shall deliver them from the wicked and save them because they wait in him.
6 ¶ Blessings are upon the head of the just, but the mouth of the wicked covers violence.
7 ¶ The memory of the just is blessed, but the name of the wicked shall stink.
