11 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,
2 Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, These are the animals which ye shall eat among all the animals that are on the earth.
3 Whatever divides the hoof and is clovenfooted and chews the cud, among the animals, that shall you eat.
4 Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of those that chew the cud or of those that divide the hoof: the camel because it chews the cud but divides not the hoof; it is unclean unto you.
5 And the coney because it chews the cud, but divides not the hoof: it is unclean unto you.
6 And the hare because it chews the cud, but divides not the hoof: it is unclean unto you.
7 And the swine though it divides the hoof and is clovenfooted, yet it chews not the cud: it is unclean to you.
8 Of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcase you shall not touch: they are unclean to you.
9 ¶ These shall you eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, those shall you eat.
10 But all that have not fins and scales in the seas and in the rivers, of any reptile in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you;
11 they shall be an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, and ye shall have their carcasses in abomination.
12 Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.
13 And these ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they shall be an abomination: the eagle, the ossifrage, the ospray,
14 the vulture, and the kite according to his species,
15 every raven according to his species,
16 the owl, the night hawk, the cuckow, and the hawk according to his species;
17 the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl,
18 the swan, the pelican, the gier eagle,
19 the stork, the heron according to her species, the lapwing, and the bat.
20 ¶ Every flying insect that creeps, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you.
21 Yet these may ye eat of every flying insect that goes upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap with them upon the earth;
22 these of them ye may eat: the locust according to his species and the bald locust according to his species and the beetle according to his species and the grasshopper according to his species.
23 But all other flying insects, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you.
24 And for these ye shall be unclean: whoever touches their carcase shall be unclean until the evening.
25 And whoever bears any part of their carcase shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.
26 The carcasses of every animal which divides the hoof and is not clovenfooted, nor chews the cud, are unclean unto you; everyone that touches them shall be unclean.
27 And of all the animals that go on all four, any that walk upon their paws are unclean unto you; whoever touches their carcase shall be unclean until the evening.
28 And he that bears their carcase shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening; they are unclean unto you.
29 These also shall be unclean unto you among the animals that creep upon the earth: the weasel and the mouse and the frog according to his species
30 and the ferret and the lizard and the snail and the slug and the mole.
31 These are unclean to you among all the animals; whoever touches them, when they are dead, shall be unclean until the evening.
32 And everything upon which any of them falls when they are dead shall be unclean, whether it be any vessel of wood or clothing or skin or sack, whatever instrument with which work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; and thus it shall be cleansed.
33 And every earthen vessel into which any of them falls, whatever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break the vessel.
34 All food which may be eaten upon which shall come water from any such vessel shall be unclean; and any drink that may be drunk shall be unclean in every such vessel.
35 And everything upon which any part of their carcase falls shall be unclean: the oven or the chimney shall be broken down, for they are unclean and shall be unclean unto you.
36 Nevertheless a fountain or cistern where water is collected shall be clean; but that which touches their carcase shall be unclean.
37 And if any part of their carcase falls upon any sown seed which is sown, it shall be clean.
38 But if any water is put upon the seed and any part of their carcase falls thereon, it shall be unclean unto you.
39 And if any animal of which ye may eat dies, he that touches the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the evening;
40 and he that eats of the carcase of it shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening; likewise he that bears the carcase of it shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.
41 And every reptile that creeps upon the earth is an abomination; it shall not be eaten.
42 Whatever goes upon the belly and whatever goes upon four or more feet among all reptiles that creep upon the earth, ye shall not eat; for it is abomination.
43 ¶ Ye shall not defile your souls with any reptile that creeps, neither shall ye contaminate yourselves with them, that ye should be unclean with them.
44 For I am the LORD your God; ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy; neither shall ye defile your souls with any reptile that moves upon the earth.
45 For I am the LORD that causes you to come up out of the land of Egypt to be your God; ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
46 This is the law of the animals and of the fowls and of every living creature that moves in the waters and of every animal that creeps upon the earth:
47 to make a difference between the unclean and the clean and between the animals that may be eaten and the animals that may not be eaten.
12 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, If a woman has conceived seed and gives birth to a man child, then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her menses shall she be unclean.
3 And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.
4 And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying thirty-three days; she shall touch no holy thing, nor come to the sanctuary until the days of her purifying are fulfilled.
5 But if she gives birth to a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, according to her separation, and she shall be purifying herself for sixty-six days from her blood.
6 ¶ And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled for a son or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt offering and a young pigeon or a turtledove as sin, unto the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, unto the priest,
7 who shall offer it before the LORD and reconcile her, and she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood. This is the law for her that has given birth to a male or a female.
8 And if she is not able to bring a lamb, then she shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons: the one for the burnt offering and the other as sin; and the priest shall reconcile her, and she shall be clean.
21 ¶ And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, a great multitude gathered unto him, and he was near the sea.
22 And one of the princes of the synagogue came, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet
23 and besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lies at the point of death; come and lay thy hands on her that she may be saved, and she shall live.
24 And Jesus went with him; and a great multitude followed him and thronged him.
25 And a certain woman, who had an issue of blood twelve years
26 and had suffered many things of many physicians and had spent all that she had and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse;
27 when she had heard of Jesus, came from behind among the multitude and touched his garment.
28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be saved.
29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned to the crowd and said, Who touched my clothes?
31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee and sayest thou, Who touched me?
32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.
33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him and told him all the truth.
34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith has made thee saved; go in peace and remain whole of thy plague.
35 ¶ While he yet spoke, there came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house certain who said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?
36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he said unto the prince of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.
37 And he suffered no one to follow him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
38 And they came to the house of the prince of the synagogue and saw the tumult and those that wept and wailed greatly.
39 And when he was come in, he said unto them, Why make ye this ado and weep? The damsel is not dead, but sleeps.
40 And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he took the father and the mother of the damsel and those that were with him and entered in where the damsel was lying.
41 And taking the damsel by the hand, he said unto her, Talitha cumi, which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.
42 And straightway the damsel arose and walked, for she was twelve years old. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.
43 And he charged them straitly that no one should know it and commanded that something should be given her to eat.
A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.
1 ¶ O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2 For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presses me sore.
3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.
4 For my iniquities are gone over my head; as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
5 My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.
6 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.
7 For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease, and there is no soundness in my flesh.
8 I am feeble and sore broken; I roar by reason of the disquietness of my heart.
9 Lord, all my desire is before thee, and my groaning is not hid from thee.
10 My heart pants, my strength fails me; as for the light of my eyes, it also is gone from me.
11 My friends and my companions stand aloof from my sore, and my kinsmen stand afar off.
12 ¶ Those that seek after my life lay snares for me, and those that seek my hurt speak calamities and imagine deceits all the day long.
13 But I, as a deaf man heard not, and was as a dumb man that did not open his mouth.
14 Thus I was as a man that does not hear, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.
15 For thee, O LORD, do I wait; thou wilt respond, O Lord my God.
16 For I said, Let them not rejoice over me; let them not magnify themselves against me when my foot slips.
17 For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.
18 Therefore I will declare my iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.
19 For my enemies are alive, and they are strong, and those that hate me wrongfully are multiplied;
20 rendering evil for good they are against me because I follow that which is good.
21 Forsake me not, O LORD; O my God, be not far from me.
22 Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.
8 ¶ The wise in heart will receive the commandments, but he who speaks foolishness shall fall.
9 ¶ He that walks in integrity walks securely, but he that perverts his ways shall be broken.
