6 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘When a man or a woman separates themselves to vow a vow of a Nazirite, to separate to the LORD,
3 ‘he shall abstain from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no sour wine nor sour drink, nor shall drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat fresh grapes or dried.
4 ‘As long as his abstinence endures, he shall eat nothing that is made from the wine of the vine or the kernels or the husk.
5 ‘While he is separated by his vow, the razor shall not come upon his head until the days are complete in which he separates himself to the LORD. He shall be holy and shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow.
6 ‘During the time that he separates himself to the LORD, he shall come near no dead body:
7 ‘He shall not make himself unclean at the death of his father or mother, brother, or sister. For the consecration of his God is upon his head.
8 ‘All the days of his separation he shall be holy to the LORD.
9 ‘And if anyone dies suddenly near him, and the head of his consecration shall be defiled, he shall shave his head on the day of his cleansing. On the seventh day he shall shave it.
10 ‘And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, to the Priest at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
11 ‘Then the Priest shall prepare one for a Sin Offering and the other for a Burnt Offering and shall make an atonement for him, because he sinned concerning the dead. So shall he consecrate his head the same day.
12 ‘And he shall consecrate the days of his separation to the LORD and shall bring a lamb of a year old for a Trespass Offering. But the early days shall be voided, for his consecration was defiled.
13 ‘This, then, is the Law of the Nazirite: when the time of his consecration is ended, he shall come to the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
14 ‘And he shall bring his offering to the LORD: a male lamb of a year old without blemish (for a Burnt Offering), a female lamb of a year old without blemish (for a Sin Offering), a ram without blemish (for Peace Offerings),
15 ‘a basket of unleavened bread—of cakes of fine flour, mingled with oil, and wafers of unleavened bread, anointed with oil—with their Meat Offering and their Drink Offerings.
16 ‘The Priest shall bring these before the LORD and make his Sin Offering and his Burnt Offering.
17 ‘He shall also prepare the ram for a Peace Offering to the LORD, with the basket of unleavened bread. And the Priest shall make his Meat Offering and his Drink Offering.
18 ‘And the Nazirite shall shave the head of his consecration at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation and shall take the hair of the head of his consecration and put it in the fire which is under the Peace Offering.
19 ‘Then, the Priest shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram, and an unleavened cake out of the basket, and a wafer (unleavened) and put them upon the hands of the Nazirite, after he has shaved his consecration.
20 ‘And the Priest shall shake them to and fro before the LORD. This is a Holy thing for the Priest besides the shaken breast, and besides the heave shoulder. So afterward, the Nazirite may drink wine.
21 ‘This is the Law of the Nazirite which he has vowed from his offering to the LORD for his consecration, in addition to whatever else he is able to bring. According to the vow which he vowed, so shall he do after the Law of his Consecration.’”
22 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
23 “Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, ‘Thus shall you bless the children of Israel, and say to them,
24 “The LORD bless you and keep you.
25 “The LORD make His Face shine upon you and be merciful to you.
26 “The LORD lift up His Countenance upon you and give you peace.”
27 ‘So they shall put My Name upon the children of Israel. And I will bless them.’”
7 Now when Moses had finished setting up the Tabernacle, and anointed it and sanctified it and all its instruments, and the Altar with all its instruments, and had anointed them, and sanctified them,
2 then the Princes of Israel, heads over the Houses of their fathers (they were the Princes of the tribes, who were over those who were numbered), offered
3 and brought an offering before the LORD of six covered chariots and twelve oxen (one chariot for every two Princes, and for every Prince an ox). and they offered them before the Tabernacle.
4 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
5 “Take them, that they may be to do the service of the Tabernacle of the Congregation. And you shall give them to the Levites, to every man according to his office.”
6 So Moses took the chariots and the oxen and gave them to the Levites.
7 He gave two chariots and four oxen to the sons of Gershon, according to their office.
8 And he gave four chariots and eight oxen to the sons of Merari, according to their office, under the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the Priest.
9 But to the sons of Kohath he gave none, because they had charge of the Sanctuary, which they bore upon their shoulders.
10 The Princes also offered in the dedication for the Altar on the day that it was anointed. Then the Princes offered their offering before the Altar.
11 And the LORD said to Moses, “One Prince one day, and another Prince another day, shall offer their offering for the dedication of the Altar.”

89 And when Moses went into the Tabernacle of the Congregation to speak with God, he heard the Voice of One speaking to him from the Mercy Seat that was upon the Ark of the Testimony, between the two Cherubims. And he spoke to Him.
38 Moreover He said to them in His doctrine, “Beware of the scribes, who love to go around in long robes and love greetings in the markets,
39 “and the chief seats in the synagogues, and the first rooms at feasts.
40 “They devour widows’ houses, even under a color of long prayers. These shall receive the greater damnation.”
41 And as Jesus sat near the treasury, He saw how much money the people cast into the treasury. And many of the rich men cast in much.
42 And there came a certain poor widow. And she threw in two lepta (which make a kodrantes).
43 Then He called His disciples to Him, and said to them, “Truly I say to you, that this poor widow has cast more in than all those who have cast into the treasury.
44 “For they all cast in out of their excess. But she, out of her poverty, cast in all that she had, even all her living.”
13 And as He went out of the Temple, one of His disciples said to Him, “Master, see what stones and buildings are here.”
2 Then Jesus answered and said to him, “You see these great buildings? There shall not be left one stone upon a stone that shall not be thrown down.”
3 And as He sat on the Mount of Olives, over near the Temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked Him secretly,
4 “Tell us, when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?”
5 And Jesus answered them, and began to say,“Beware, lest anyone deceive you.
6 “For many shall come in My Name, saying, ‘I am Christ’, and shall deceive many.
7 “Furthermore, when you shall hear of wars, and rumors of wars, do not be troubled. For such things must be. But the end shall not be yet.
8 “For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there shall be earthquakes in diverse quarters. And there shall be famine and troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows.
9 “But beware. For they shall deliver you up to the councils, and to the synagogues. You shall be beaten and brought before rulers and kings for My sake; for a testimonial to them.
10 “And the Gospel must first be proclaimed among all nations.
11 “But when they deliver you up, do not be careful beforehand, nor study what you shall say. But speak what is given to you at that time. For it is not you who speaks, but the Holy Ghost.
12 “Indeed, and the brother shall deliver the brother to death, and the father the son. And the children shall rise against their parents and shall cause them to die.
13 “And you shall be hated by all for My Name’s sake. But whoever shall endure to the end, shall be saved.
49 Hear this, all you people! Give ear, all you who dwell in the world,
2 low as well as high, both rich and poor!
3 My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart is of knowledge.
4 I will incline my ear to a parable and utter my high saying upon the harp.
5 Why should I fear in the evil days, when the iniquity at my heels shall surround me?
6 They trust in their goods and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches.
7 Yet a man can by no means redeem his brother. He cannot give his ransom to God,
8 (so precious is the redemption of their souls, and ceases forever)
9 so that he may yet live forever and not see the grave.
10 For he sees that wise men die; and also that the ignorant and foolish perish and leave their riches for others.
11 They think their houses and their habitations shall continue forever, from generation to generation. And they call their lands by their names.
12 But man shall not continue in honor. He is like the beasts that die.
13 This is the way of those who utter foolishness. Their posterity delights in their talk. Selah.
14 Like sheep they lie in the grave. Death devours them. And the righteous shall have domination over them in the morning. For their beauty shall be consumed, from their house to grave.
15 But God shall deliver my soul from the power of the grave; for He will receive me. Selah.
16 Do not be afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his House is increased.
17 For he shall take nothing away when he dies, nor shall his pomp descend after him.
18 For while he lived, he rejoiced over himself (and men will praise you when you make much of yourself).
19 He shall enter into the generation of his fathers. They shall not live forever.
20 An honored man who does not understand; he is like beasts that perish. A Psalm of Asaph.
27 The fear of the LORD increases the days. But the years of the wicked shall be diminished.
28 The patient abiding of the righteous shall be gladness. But the hope of the wicked shall perish.
