13 “If there arises among you a prophet (or a dreamer of dreams) and he gives you a sign or wonder —
2 “and the sign or the wonder which he has told you comes to be — saying, ‘Let us go after other gods which you have not known. And let us serve them’,
3 “you shall not listen to the words of the prophet, or to that dreamer of dreams. For the LORD your God tests you, to know whether you love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
4 “You shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear Him, and shall keep His Commandments, and obey His Voice. And you shall serve Him and cling to Him.
5 “But that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, he shall be killed, because he has spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God (Who brought you out of the land of Egypt and delivered you out of the house of bondage) to thrust you out of the way in which the LORD your God Commanded you to walk. So shall you take the evil away forth from the midst of you.
6 “If your brother (the son of your mother) or your own son, or your daughter, or the wife in your bosom, or your friend who is as your own soul, entices you secretly, saying, ‘Let us go and serve other gods (which you have not known, you nor your fathers)
7 “from the gods of the people who are all around you, near to you or far off from you, from the one end of the Earth to the other,
8 “you shall not yield to him or hear him. Nor shall your eye pity him or show mercy or keep him secret.
9 “But you shall surely kill him. Your hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and then the hands of the people.
10 “And you shall stone him with stones, so that he dies — because he has gone about to thrust you away from the LORD your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage —
11 “and so that all Israel may hear and fear and do no more any such wickedness as this among you.
12 “If you shall hear it said concerning any of your cities which the LORD your God has given you to dwell in,
13 ‘Wicked men have gone out from among you and have drawn away the inhabitants of their city, saying, “Let us go and serve other gods, which you have not known’,
14 “Then you shall seek and search and inquire diligently. And if true, and the thing certain that such an abomination has been committed among you,
15 “you shall surely kill the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword — destroy it utterly and all that is in it, and its cattle — with the edge of the sword.
16 “And you shall gather all its spoil into the midst of its streets and burn the city and all its spoil with fire — every bit —to the LORD your God. And it shall be rubble forever. It shall not be built again.
17 “And nothing of the damned thing shall cling to your hand, so that the LORD may turn from the fierceness of His wrath and show you mercy and have compassion on you and multiply you (as He has sworn to your fathers)
18 “when you shall obey the Voice of the LORD your God and keep all His Commandments which I command you this day, that you do that which is right in the Eyes of the LORD your God.”
14 “You are the children of the LORD your God. You shall not cut yourselves or make yourself bald between your eyes for the dead.
2 “For you are a holy people to the LORD your God. And the LORD has chosen you to be a precious people to Himself, above all the people who are upon the Earth.
3 “You shall eat no type of abomination.
4 “These are the beasts which you shall eat: beef, sheep, lamb, young goat, female goat,
5 “deer, gazelle, red deer, clean mountain goat, antelope, clean mountain sheep.
6 “And every beast that parts the hoof and divides the cleft into two claws and is of the beasts that chew the cud, that shall you eat.
7 “But these you shall not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those that divide and split the hoof — the camel, the hare, the rock badger (for they chew the cud but do not divide the hoof) — they shall be unclean to you.
8 “Also, the swine, because he does not divide the hoof and does not chew the cud, shall be unclean to you. You shall not eat of their flesh or touch their dead carcasses.
9 “These you shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall you eat.
10 “And whatever has no fins or scales, you shall not eat. It shall be unclean to you.
11 “Of all clean birds you shall eat.
12 “But these are those of which you shall not eat: the eagle, the vulture, the buzzard,
13 “the hawk, the falcon, the kite (after their kind),
14 “any kind of raven,
15 “the ostrich, the night crow, the seagull, the hawk (after her kind),
16 “the little owl, the great owl, the chameleon,
17 “the pelican, the carrion vulture, nor the cormorant:
18 “the stork, the heron (in his kind), the hoopoe, and the bat.
19 “And every creeping thing that flies shall be unclean to you. It shall not be eaten.
20 “You may eat of all clean birds.
21 “You shall eat of nothing that dies alone. But you shall give it to the stranger that is within your gates, so that he may eat it. Or you may sell it to a stranger. For you are a holy people to the LORD your God. You shall not boil a kid in its mother’s milk.
22 “You shall give the tithe of all the increase of your seed that comes forth from the field, year by year.
23 “And you shall eat before the LORD your God (in the place which He shall choose to cause His Name to dwell) the tithe of your corn and of your wine and of your oil and of the firstborn of your cattle and of your sheep, so that you may learn to fear the LORD your God always.
24 “And if the way is too long for you (so that you are not able to carry it, because the place is far from you where the LORD your God shall choose to set His Name, when the LORD your God shall bless you)
25 “then you shall make it in money and take the money in your hand and go to the place which the LORD your God shall choose.
26 “And you shall bestow the money for whatever your heart desires — whether it be ox or sheep or wine or strong drink or whatever your heart desires — and shall eat it there before the LORD your God and rejoice, you and your household.
27 “And you shall not forsake the Levite who is within your gates. For he has neither part nor inheritance with you.
28 “At the end of three years, you shall bring forth all the tithes of your increase of the same year and lay it up within your gates.
29 “Then, the Levite shall come, because he has no part or inheritance with you or the stranger or the fatherless or the widow who are within your gates. And he shall eat, and be filled, so that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do.”
15 “At the term of seven years, you shall make a release.
2 “And this is the manner of the release: every creditor shall cancel the loan of his hand which he has lent to his neighbor. He shall not ask for it again from his neighbor, nor from his brother. For the LORD’s release is proclaimed.
3 “You may require it from a stranger. But that which you have with your brother, your hand shall release,
4 “except when there shall be no poor with you. For the LORD shall bless you in the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance, to possess it,
5 “so that you obey the Voice of the LORD your God, to observe and do all these Commandments which I command you this day.
6 “For the LORD your God has blessed you, as He has promised you. And you shall lend to many nations. But you yourself shall not borrow. And you shall reign over many nations. And they shall not reign over you.
7 “If one of your brothers with you is poor—within any of your gates in your land which the LORD your God gives you—you shall not harden your heart or shut your hand from your poor brother.
8 “But you shall open your hand to him and shall sufficiently lend to him for his need which he has.
9 “Beware that there is not a wicked thought in your heart, to say, ‘The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand’, and it grieves you to look on your poor brother. And you give him nothing. And he cries to the LORD against you, so that sin is in you.
10 “You shall give to him. And do not let it grieve your heart to give to him. For because of this the LORD your God shall bless you in all your works and in all to which you put your hand.
11 “Because there shall always be poor in the land. Therefore, I command you, saying, ‘You shall open your hand to your brother, to your needy, and to your poor in your land.’
12 “If your brother (a Hebrew man) sells himself to you, or a Hebrew woman, and serves you six years, in the seventh year you shall let him go free from you.
13 “And when you send him out free from you, you shalt not let him go away empty.
14 “You shall give him a liberal reward from your sheep and from your corn and from your wine. You shall give to him from that with which the LORD your God has blessed you.
15 “And remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God delivered you. Therefore, I command you this thing today.
16 “And if he says to you, ‘I will not go away from you’, because he loves you and your house and because he does well with you,
17 “then you shall take an awl and pierce his ear through, against the door. And he shall be your servant forever. And you shall do likewise to your maid servant.
18 “Let it not grieve you when you let him go out free from you. For he has served you six years, the double worth of a hired servant, and the LORD your God shall bless you in all that you do.
19 “All the firstborn males that come from your cattle and from your sheep, you shall sanctify to the LORD your God. You shall do no work with your firstborn bullock or shear your firstborn sheep.
20 “You shall eat it before the LORD your God, year by year, in the place which the LORD shall choose, you and your household.
21 “But, if there is any blemish in it (it is lame or blind or has any serious fault), you shall not offer it to the LORD your God,
22 “You shall eat it within your gates, both the unclean and the clean, just as the gazelle and as the deer.
23 “Only, you shall not drink its blood. Poor it upon the ground, as water.”
40 And it happened that when Jesus returned, the people welcomed Him. For they all waited for Him.
41 And behold, there came a man named Jairus, who was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at Jesus’ feet and begged Him to come to his house.
42 For he had an only daughter (about twelve years of age) who lay dying. And as He went, the people thronged Him.
43 And a woman having a twelve-year-long flow of blood (who had spent all she had on physicians, and could not be healed by any)
44 came behind Him. And she touched the hem of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped.
45 Then Jesus said, “Who touched Me?” When everyone denied it, Peter and those with him said, “Master, the multitude jostles You, and presses against You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’”
46 And Jesus said, “Someone touched Me. For I perceive that power has gone out of Me.”
47 When the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came, trembling, and fell down before Him. And before all the people, she told Him why she had touched Him, and how she had been healed immediately.
48 And He said to her, “Daughter, be of good courage. Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
49 While He was still speaking, someone from the ruler of the synagogue’s house came and said to Him, “Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the Master.”
50 When Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, “Do not fear. Only believe, and she shall be saved.”
51 And when He went to the house, He did not allow anyone to go in with Him except Peter and James and John, and the father and mother of the maid.
52 And all wept and mourned for her. But He said, “Do not weep. For she is not dead, but sleeps.”
53 And they ridiculed Him, knowing that she was dead.
54 So He sent them all out. And He took her by the hand and cried, saying, “Little girl, arise!”
55 Then her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. And He commanded to give her food.
56 Then her parents were astonished. But He commanded them to tell no one what had happened.
9 Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to heal diseases.
2 And He sent them forth to preach the Kingdom of God, and to cure the sick.
3 And He said to them, “Take nothing on your journey, neither staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; nor have two tunics apiece.
4 “And whatever house you enter, stay there, and leave from there.
5 “And however many will not receive you, when you go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.”
6 And they went out and went through every town preaching the Gospel and healing everywhere.
71 In You, O LORD, I trust. Let me never be ashamed.
2 Rescue me and deliver me in Your righteousness. Incline Your ear to me and save me.
3 Be my Strong Rock, whereto I may always resort. You have given Commandment to save me; for You are my Rock, and my Fortress.
4 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the evil and cruel man.
5 For You are my Hope, O LORD God; my Trust from my youth.
6 I have been upheld by You from the womb. You are He Who took me out of my mother’s core. My praise shall be of You always.
7 I have become, as it were, a monster to many; but You are my sure Trust.
8 Let my mouth be filled with Your praise, with Your Glory, every day.
9 Do not cast me off in the time of old age. Do not forsake me when my strength fails.
10 For my enemies speak of me; and those who lay in wait for my soul take their counsel together,
11 saying, “God has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, for there is no one to deliver him.”
12 Do not go far from me, O God. My God, hasten to help me!
13 Let those who are against my soul be confounded and consumed. Let those who seek my hurt be covered with reproach and confusion.
14 But I will wait continually and will praise You more and more.
15 My mouth shall daily rehearse Your righteousness and Your salvation; for I do not know the number.
16 I will go forward in the strength of the LORD God. I will make mention of Your righteousness, of Yours only.
17 O God, You have taught me from my youth even until now. I will tell of Your wondrous works;
18 Indeed, even to my old age and gray head, O God, do not forsake me until I have declared Your arm to this generation, and Your power to all those who shall come.
19 And Your righteousness, O God, I will exalt on High; for You have done great things. O God, who is like You!
20 You have shown me great troubles and adversities, but You will return and revive me; and will come again and take me up from the depth of the Earth.
21 You will increase my honor; and return and comfort me.
22 Therefore, I will praise You for Your faithfulness, O God, upon instrument and viol. To You I will sing upon the harp, O Holy One of Israel.
23 My lips will rejoice when I sing to You; and my soul, which You have delivered.
24 Also, my tongue shall daily talk of Your righteousness; for those who seek my hurt are confounded and brought to shame. A Psalm of Solomon
5 The thoughts of the just are right. But the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.
6 The talking of the wicked is to lie in wait for blood. But the mouth of the righteous will deliver them.
7 God overthrows the wicked, and they are not. But the house of the righteous shall stand.
