15 Moreover, the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘Whoever has a discharge from his flesh is unclean because of his discharge.
3 ‘And this shall be his uncleanness in his discharge: either his flesh runs with his discharge or he has a blockage from his issue. This is his uncleanness.
4 ‘Every bed upon which he lies that has the issue shall be unclean. And everything upon which he sits shall be unclean.
5 ‘Also, whoever touches his bed shall wash his clothes and wash himself in water and shall be unclean until the evening.
6 ‘And he who sits on anything upon which he sat who has the issue shall wash his clothes and wash himself in water and shall be unclean until the evening.
7 ‘Also, he who touches the flesh of him who has the issue shall wash his clothes and wash himself in water and shall be unclean until the evening.
8 ‘If he who has the issue also spits upon him who is clean, he shall wash his clothes and wash himself in water and shall be unclean until the evening.
9 ‘And whatever saddle he rides upon that has the issue shall be unclean.
10 ‘And whoever touches anything that was under him shall be unclean until the evening. And he who bears those things shall wash his clothes and wash himself in water and shall be unclean until the evening.
11 ‘Likewise, whomever he touches who has the issue (and has not washed his hands in water) shall wash his clothes and wash himself in water and shall be unclean until the evening.
12 ‘And the vessel of earth that he touches, which has the issue, shall be broken. And every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.
13 ‘But if he who has an issue is cleansed of his issue, then he shall count seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and wash his flesh in pure water. So shall he be clean.
14 ‘Then on the eighth day, he shall take to him two turtledoves (or two young pigeons) and come before the LORD, at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and shall give them to the Priest.
15 ‘And the Priest shall make a Sin Offering of one of them, and of the other a Burnt Offering. So, the Priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD for his issue.
16 ‘Also, if any man’s issue of seed departs from him, he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the evening.
17 ‘And every garment, and every skin whereupon issue of seed shall be, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the evening.
18 ‘If he who has an issue of seed lies with a woman, they shall both wash themselves with water, and be unclean until the evening.
19 ‘Also, when a woman shall have a discharge, and her issue in her flesh shall be blood, she shall be isolated for seven days. And whoever touches her shall be unclean until the evening.
20 ‘And whatever she lies upon in her impurity shall be unclean. And everything that she sits upon shall be unclean.
21 ‘Also, whoever touches her bed shall wash his clothes, and wash himself with water, and shall be unclean until the evening.
22 ‘And whoever touches anything that she sat upon shall wash his clothes, and wash himself in water, and shall be unclean until the evening,
23 ‘so that whether he touches her bed or anything upon which she sat, he shall be unclean until the evening.
24 ‘And if a man lies with her, and her impurity touches him, he shall be unclean for seven days. And all the whole bed upon which he lies shall be unclean.
25 ‘Also, when a woman’s discharge of blood runs for a long time in addition to the time of her impurity (that is, when she has a discharge longer than her impurity), all the days of the discharge of her uncleanness she shall be unclean, as in the time of her impurity.
26 ‘Every bed upon which she lies (as long as her discharge lasts) shall be to her as the bed of her impurity. And whatever she sits upon shall be unclean, as her uncleanness when she is isolated.
27 ‘And whoever touches these things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and wash himself in water, and shall be unclean until the evening.
28 ‘But if she is cleansed of her discharge, then she shall count seven days. And afterward, she shall be clean.
29 ‘And on the eighth day, she shall take two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and bring them to the Priest at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
30 ‘And the Priest shall make a Sin Offering of the one, and of the other a Burnt Offering. And the Priest shall make an atonement for her before the LORD, for the issue of her uncleanness.
31 ‘Thus shall you separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness, so that they do not die in their uncleanness if they defile My Tabernacle that is among them.
32 ‘This is the Law of him who has a discharge, and of him from whom goes a discharge of seed by which he is defiled,
33 ‘and of she who is ill from her impurity, and of he who has a running discharge, whether it be man or woman, and of he who lies with her who is unclean.’”
16 Furthermore, the LORD spoke to Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they came before the LORD and died.
2 And the LORD said to Moses, “Speak to Aaron, your brother, so that he does not come just at any time into the Holy Place, within the Veil, before the Mercy Seat, which is upon the Ark. So that he does not die. For I will appear in the cloud, upon the Mercy Seat.
3 “After this manner shall Aaron come into the Holy Place: with a young bullock for a Sin Offering, and a ram for a Burnt Offering.
4 “He shall put on the Holy Linen Coat, and shall have linen trousers upon his flesh, and shall be wrapped with a linen girdle, and shall cover his head with a linen miter. These are the Holy Garments. Therefore, he shall wash his flesh in water when he puts them on.
5 “And he shall take two male goats from the Congregation of the children of Israel, for a Sin Offering, and a ram for a Burnt Offering.
6 “Then, Aaron shall offer the bullock for his Sin Offering, and make an atonement for himself and for his house.
7 “And he shall take the two male goats and present them before the LORD at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
8 “Then Aaron shall cast lots over the two male goats, one lot for the LORD and the other for the Scapegoat.
9 “And Aaron shall offer the goat, upon which the LORD’s lot shall fall, and shall make a Sin Offering.
10 “But the goat upon which the lot shall fall to be the Scapegoat shall be presented alive before the LORD, to make reconciliation and to be let go (as a Scapegoat) into the wilderness.
11 “Thus, Aaron shall offer the bullock for his Sin Offering, and make a reconciliation for himself and for his house and shall kill the bullock for his Sin Offering.
12 “And he shall take a censer full of burning coals from off the Altar before the LORD. And with his hands full of sweet incense, finely beaten, he shall bring it within the Veil,
13 “and shall put the incense upon the fire before the LORD, so that the cloud of the incense may cover the Mercy Seat that is upon the Testimony. So, he shall not die.
14 “And he shall take from the blood of the bullock and sprinkle it with his finger upon the Mercy Seat, eastward. And he shall sprinkle the blood seven times with his finger, before the Mercy Seat.
15 “Then he shall kill the goat which is the people’s Sin Offering and bring its blood within the Veil and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the Mercy Seat, and before the Mercy Seat.
16 “So shall he purge the Holy Place from the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and from the trespasses of all their sins. So shall he also do for the Tabernacle of the Congregation placed with them, in the midst of their uncleanness.
17 “And there shall be no man in the Tabernacle of the Congregation when he goes in to make an atonement in the Holy Place, until he comes out and has made an atonement for himself and for his household and for all the Congregation of Israel.
18 “Afterward, he shall go out to the Altar that is before the LORD and make a reconciliation upon it. And he shall take from the blood of the bullock, and from the blood of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the Altar, all around.
19 “So shall he sprinkle the blood upon it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.
20 “When he has finished purging the Holy Place, and the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the Altar, then he shall bring the live goat.
21 “And Aaron shall put both his hands upon the head of the live goat and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their trespasses in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat. And he shall send him away (by the hand of a man appointed) into the wilderness.
22 “So, the goat shall bear all their iniquities upon him, into the land that is not inhabited. And he shall release the goat into the wilderness.
23 “Afterward, Aaron shall come into the Tabernacle of the Congregation and take off the linen clothes, which he put on when he went into the Holy Place, and leave them there.
24 “He shall also wash his flesh with water in the Holy Place, and put on his own clothing, and come out, and make his Burnt Offering and the Burnt Offering of the people, and make an atonement for himself, and for the people.
25 “Also, the fat of the Sin Offering shall he burn upon the Altar.
26 “And he who carried forth the goat (the Scapegoat) shall wash his clothes and wash his flesh in water. And after that he shall come into the camp.
27 “Also, someone shall carry the bullock for the Burnt Offering and the goat for the Sin Offering outside the camp (whose blood was brought to make a reconciliation in the Holy Place), to be burnt in the fire with their skins and with their flesh and with their dung.
28 “And he who burns them shall wash his clothes, and wash his flesh in water, and afterward come into the camp.
7 Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes came to Him from Jerusalem.
2 And when they saw some of His disciples eat with common hands (that is to say, unwashed), they complained.
3 (For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not eat unless they have washed their hands, holding to the traditions of the elders.
4 And when they come from the market, they do not eat until they have washed. And there are many other things there which they have taken upon themselves to observe - such as the washing of cups and pots and of metal vessels and of meal mats).
5 Then the Pharisees and Scribes asked Jesus, “Why do not Your disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with unwashed hands?”
6 Then He answered and said to them, “Surely Isaiah has prophesied well of you, hypocrites. As it is written, ‘This people honors Me with lips, but their heart is far away from Me.
7 ‘But they worship Me in vain, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.’
8 For you lay the Commandments of God aside, and observe the tradition of men, such as the washing of pots, and of cups. And there are many other such things that you do.”
9 And He said to them, “You reject the Commandment of God, that you may observe your own tradition.
10 “For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your Mother. And whoever shall speak evil of father or mother, let him die the death.’
11 “But you say, ‘If a man says to father or mother, ‘Corban’(that is, ‘By the gift that is offered by me, you may have profit), he shall be free.’
12 “So you don’t require him to do anything for his father or his mother,
13 “making the Word of God of no authority by your tradition which you have ordained. And you do many such things.”
14 Then He called the whole multitude to Him, and said to them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand!
15 “There is nothing outside of a man that can defile him when it enters into him. But the things which proceed out of him are those which defile the man.
16 “If any have ears to hear, let him hear.”
17 And when He came into a house, away from the people, his disciples asked Him about the parable.
18 And He said to them, “What? Are you without understanding also? Do you not know that whatever thing enters a man from outside cannot defile him,
19 “because it did not enter into his heart, but into the belly. And it goes out into the draught, which is the purging of all food?”
20 Then He said, “That which comes out of man, that defiles man.
21 “For from within, even out of the heart of man, proceeds evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 “thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, uncleanness, a wicked eye, backbiting, pride, foolishness.
23 “All these evil things come from within and defile a man.”
11 Do not withdraw Your tender mercy from me, O LORD. Let Your mercy and Your truth always preserve me.
12 For innumerable troubles have surrounded me. My sins have taken such hold upon me that I am not able to look up. They are more in number than the hairs of my head. Therefore, my heart has failed me.
13 Let it please You, O LORD, to deliver me. Hurry, O LORD, to help me.
14 Let those who seek my soul to destroy it be confounded and put to shame together. Let those who desire my hurt be driven backward and put to rebuke.
15 Let those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!” be destroyed as a reward for their shame,
16 Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You, and let those who love Your salvation, say always, “The LORD be praised!”
17 Though I be poor and needy, the LORD thinks on me. You are my Helper and my Deliverer. My God, do not delay. To him who excels: A Psalm of David.
13 On the lips of him who has understanding, wisdom is found. And a rod shall be for the back of him who is destitute of wisdom.
14 The wise lay up knowledge. But the mouth of the fool is a present destruction.
