8 Then, Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
9 And Moses said to Joshua, “Pick out men for us, and go fight with Amalek. Tomorrow, I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in my hand.”
10 So, Joshua did as Moses commanded him, and fought with Amalek. And Moses, Aaron, and Hur, went up to the top of the hill.
11 And when Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed. But when he let his hand down, Amalek prevailed.
12 Now, Moses’ hands were heavy. Therefore, they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat upon it. And Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on one side and the other on the other side. So, his hands were steady until the the sun went down.
13 And Joshua weakened Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
14 And the LORD said to Moses, “Write this for a remembrance in the book, and recount it to Joshua. For I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under Heaven.”
15 And Moses built an altar and called the name of it, “Jehovah Nissi” (the LORD is my Banner).
16 Also, he said, “The LORD has sworn that He will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.”
18 When Jethro, the Priest of Midian, Moses’ father-in-law, heard all that God had done for Moses and for Israel, His people (how the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt),
2 then, Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses, took Zipporah, Moses’ wife, (after he had sent her away)
3 and her two sons, one of whom was called Gershom (for he said, ‘I have been an alien in a strange land’);
4 and the name of the other was Eliezer (for he said, ‘The God of my father was my help and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh’).
5 And Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, came into the wilderness, to Moses and his two sons and his wife, where he camped by the Mount of God.
6 And he said to Moses, “I, your father-in-law, Jethro, have come to you and your wife and her two sons with her.”
7 And Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, and bowed down, and kissed him. And each asked the other of his welfare. And they came into the tent.
8 Then Moses told his father-in-law all that the LORD had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians, for Israel’s sake, all the hardship that had come to them on the way, and how the LORD delivered them.
9 And Jethro rejoiced at all the goodness which the LORD had shown to Israel, because He had delivered them out of the hand of the Egyptians.
10 Therefore, Jethro said, “Blessed be the LORD, Who has delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh; Who has delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.
11 “Now I know that the LORD is greater than all the gods. For they had dealt proudly with them.”
12 Then, Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, took burnt offerings and sacrifices to God. And Aaron, and all the elders of Israel, came to eat bread with Moses’ father-in-law before God.
13 Now, the next day, when Moses sat to judge the people, the people stood around Moses from morning to evening.
14 And when Moses’ father-in-law saw all that he did for the people, he said, “What is this that you do for the people? Why do you sit by yourself, and all the people stand around you from morning to evening?”
15 And Moses said to his father-in-law, “Because the people come to me to seek God.
16 “When they have a matter, they come to me; and I judge between one and another and declare the ordinances of God and His laws.”
17 But Moses’ father-in-law said to him, “The thing which you do is not good.
18 “You greatly weary both yourself and these people who are with you. For the thing is too heavy for you. You are not able to do it by yourself.
19 “Now, hear my voice. I will give you counsel; and God shall be with you. Represent the people before God, and report disputes to God,
20 “and warn them of the ordinances, and of the laws. And show them the way in which they must walk, and the work that they must do.
21 “Moreover, provide men of courage among all the people, men who fear God, dealing truly, hating covetousness. And appoint over them rulers over thousands, rulers over hundreds, rulers over fifties, and rulers over tens.
22 “And let them judge the people in all seasons. But, let them bring every great matter to you. And let them judge all small causes. So, it shall be easier for you when they shall bear the burden with you.
23 “If you do this thing, and God so commands you, you shall be able to endure and all these people shall also go quietly to their place.”
24 So, Moses obeyed the voice of his father-in-law and did all that he had said.
25 And Moses chose men of courage out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers over thousands, rulers over hundreds, rulers over fifties, and rulers over tens.
26 And they judged the people in all seasons; and they brought the hard causes to Moses. For they judged all small matters themselves.
27 Afterward, Moses let his father-in-law depart; and he went into his country.
19 In the third month following the children of Israel’s going out of the land of Egypt, on that same day, they came into the wilderness of Sinai.
2 For they departed from Rephidim and came to the desert of Sinai and camped in the wilderness. It was there Israel camped before the Mount.
3 But Moses went up to God. For the LORD had called from out of the Mount to him, saying, “Thus shall you say to the House of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel,
4 ‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians. And I carried you upon eagle’s wings and have brought you to Me.
5 ‘Now, therefore, if you will indeed hear My voice, and keep My Covenant, then you shall be My chief treasure above all people (though all the Earth is Mine).
6 ‘You shall also be to Me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.”
7 Then, Moses came and called for the elders of the people. And to them he proposed all these things which the LORD commanded him.
8 And the people all answered together, and said, “All that the LORD has commanded, we will do.” And Moses reported the words of the people to the LORD.
9 And the LORD said to Moses, “Lo, I will come to you in a thick cloud, so that the people may hear while I talk with you, and so that they may also believe you forever.” For Moses had told the words of the people to the LORD.
10 Moreover, the LORD said to Moses, “Go to the people and sanctify them, today and tomorrow; and let them wash their clothes.
11 “And let them be ready on the third day. For on the third day the LORD will come down, in the sight of all the people, upon Mount Sinai.
12 “And you shall set boundaries all around the people, saying, ‘Be careful that you do not go up to the mount, nor touch the border of it. Whoever touches the mount shall surely die.’
13 “No hand shall touch it, or he shall be stoned to death or struck through with arrows. Whether beast or man, he shall not live. When the horn blows long, they shall come up onto the mountain.”
14 Then Moses went down from the mount to the people and sanctified the people. And they washed their clothes.
15 And he said to the people, “Be ready on the third day. And do not come near your wives.”
34 But when the Pharisees had heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they assembled together.
35 And one of them, an expounder of the Law, asked Him a question, tempting Him, and saying,
36 “Master, which is the greatest Commandment in the Law?
37 Jesus said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.
38 “This is the first and the greatest Commandment.
39 “And the second is similar. That is, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
40 “On these two Commandments hang the whole Law and the Prophets.”
41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
42 saying, “What do you think of Christ? Whose son is He?” They said to him, “David’s.”
43 He said to them, “How then does David, in spirit, call Him ‘Lord’, saying,
44 ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool?
45 If, then, David calls Him Lord, how is He his son?
46 And no one could answer Him a word. Nor did anyone ask Him any more questions from that day forth.
23 Then Jesus spoke to the multitude, and to His disciples,
2 saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat.
3 “Therefore, all of whatever they ask you to observe, observe and do. But do not imitate their deeds, for they do not do as they say.
4 “For they bind heavy burdens, and hard to bear, and lay them on man’s shoulders. But they themselves will not lift a finger to move them.
5 “They do all their works to be seen by man. For they make their phylacteries broad, and the fringes of their garments long.
6 “And they love the chief place at feasts, and to have the chief seats in the assemblies;
7 “and greetings in the markets, and to be called by man, ‘Rabbi, Rabbi.’
8 “But do not be called, ‘Rabbi’. For One is your Master - Christ, and all of you are brothers.
9 “And call no man your father upon the Earth. For there is but One, your Father Who is in Heaven.
10 “Do not be called ‘Masters’. For One is your Master - Christ.
11 “But the one who is greatest among you, let him be your servant.
12 “For whoever will exalt himself shall be brought low. And whoever will humble himself shall be exalted.
7 Hear my voice, O LORD, when I cry. Have mercy, also, upon me and hear me.
8 When You said, “Seek My face,” my heart answered You, “O LORD, I will seek Your face.”
9 Do not hide, therefore, Your face from me, nor cast Your servant away in displeasure. You have been my succor; do not leave me or forsake me, O God of my salvation.
10 Though my father and my mother should forsake me, yet the LORD will gather me up.
11 Teach me Your way, O LORD, and lead me in a right path, because of my enemies.
12 Do not give me to the lust of my adversaries. For there are false witnesses risen up against me, and such as speak cruelly.
13 I should have fainted, except I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
14 Hope in the LORD. Be strong, and He shall comfort Your heart; and trust in the LORD. A Psalm of David.
27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burnt?
28 Or can one go upon coals, and his feet not be burnt?
29 So he who goes into his neighbor’s wife, shall not be innocent, whoever touches her.
30 A thief is not despised when he steals to satisfy his soul because he is hungry.
31 But if he is found, he shall restore sevenfold. Or he shall give all the substance of his house.
32 But whoever commits adultery with a woman is destitute of understanding. He who does so destroys his own soul.
33 He shall find a wound and dishonor. And his reproach shall never be put away.
34 For jealousy is the rage of a man. Therefore, he will not spare on the day of vengeance.
35 He cannot bear the sight of any ransom, nor will he consent, though you augment the gifts.
