Numbers 5

 ¹And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

 ²Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and whosoever is defiled by a dead person:

 ³both male and female shall ye put out; outside the camp shall ye put them, that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell.

 ⁴And the children of Israel did so, and put them outside the camp: as Jehovah had said to Moses, so did the children of Israel.

 ⁵And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

 ⁶Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any of all the sins of man to work unfaithfulness against Jehovah, and that soul is guilty,

 ⁷then they shall confess their sin which they have done; and he shall recompense his trespass according to the principal thereof, and shall add unto it the fifth part thereof, and give it unto him against whom he hath trespassed.

 ⁸And if the man have no kinsman to recompense the trespass unto, the trespass which is recompensed to Jehovah shall be the priest's, besides the ram of the atonement, wherewith an atonement is made for him.

 ⁹And every heave-offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they present unto the priest, shall be his.

 ¹⁰And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatever any man giveth the priest shall be his.

 ¹¹And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

 ¹²Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man's wife go astray, and commit unfaithfulness against him,

 ¹³and a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes of her husband, and she be defiled in secret, and there be no witness against her, and she have not been caught;

 ¹⁴and the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she have been defiled, -- or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she have not been defiled,

 ¹⁵-- then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, a tenth part of an ephah of barley-meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it is an oblation of jealousy, a memorial oblation, bringing iniquity to remembrance.

 ¹⁶And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before Jehovah.

 ¹⁷And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and the priest shall take of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle, and put it into the water.

 ¹⁸And the priest shall set the woman before Jehovah, and uncover the woman's head, and put the memorial oblation in her hands, which is the jealousy offering; and in the hand of the priest shall be the bitter water that bringeth the curse.

 ¹⁹And the priest shall adjure her, and say unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone astray in uncleanness, in being with another instead of thy husband, be free from this bitter water that bringeth the curse.

 ²⁰But if thou hast gone astray to another instead of thy husband, and hast been defiled, and a man other than thy husband have lain with thee,

 ²¹-- then the priest shall adjure the woman with the oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman: Jehovah make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when Jehovah doth make thy thigh to shrink, and thy belly to swell;

 ²²and this water that bringeth the curse shall enter into thy bowels, to make the belly to swell, and the thigh to shrink. And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.

 ²³And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and shall blot them out with the bitter water,

 ²⁴and he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that bringeth the curse, that the water that bringeth the curse may enter into her for bitterness.

 ²⁵And the priest shall take out of the woman's hand the oblation of jealousy, and shall wave the oblation before Jehovah, and shall present it at the altar.

 ²⁶And the priest shall take a handful of the oblation as a memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar; and afterwards he shall make the woman drink the water.

 ²⁷And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, if she have been defiled, and have committed unfaithfulness against her husband, that the water that bringeth the curse shall enter into her, for bitterness, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall shrink; and the woman shall become a curse among her people.

 ²⁸But if the woman have not been defiled, and be clean, then she shall be clear, and shall conceive seed.

 ²⁹This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth astray to another instead of her husband and is defiled,

 ³⁰or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon a man, and he is jealous as regards his wife; then shall he set the woman before Jehovah, and the priest shall do to her according to all this law.

 ³¹Then shall the man be free from iniquity, but that woman shall bear her iniquity.

Numbers 6

 ¹And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

 ²Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If a man or a woman have vowed the special vow of a Nazarite, to consecrate themselves to Jehovah;

 ³he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink: he shall drink no vinegar of wine, nor vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat grapes, fresh or dried.

 ⁴All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine, from the seed-stones, even to the skin.

 ⁵All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his head; until the days be fulfilled, that he hath consecrated himself to Jehovah, he shall be holy; he shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow.

 ⁶All the days that he hath consecrated himself to Jehovah, he shall come near no dead body.

 ⁷He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister when they die; for the consecration of his God is upon his head.

 ⁸All the days of his separation he is holy to Jehovah.

 ⁹And if any one die unexpectedly by him suddenly, and he hath defiled the head of his consecration, then he shall shave his head on the day of his cleansing; on the seventh day shall he shave it.

 ¹⁰And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, to the priest, at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

 ¹¹And the priest shall offer one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering, and make an atonement for him, for that he sinned by the dead person; and he shall hallow his head that same day.

 ¹²And he shall [again] consecrate to Jehovah the days of his separation, and shall bring a yearling lamb for a trespass-offering. But the first days are forfeited, for his consecration hath been defiled.

 ¹³And this is the law of the Nazarite on the day when the days of his consecration are fulfilled: he shall be brought to the entrance of the tent of meeting.

 ¹⁴And he shall present his offering to Jehovah, one yearling he-lamb without blemish for a burnt-offering, and one yearling ewe-lamb without blemish for a sin-offering, and one ram without blemish for a peace-offering;

 ¹⁵and a basket with unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and their oblation, and their drink-offerings.

 ¹⁶And the priest shall present them before Jehovah, and shall offer his sin-offering and his burnt-offering:

 ¹⁷and he shall offer the ram, a sacrifice of peace-offering to Jehovah, with the basket of unleavened bread; the priest shall offer also his oblation and his drink-offering.

 ¹⁸And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his consecration at the entrance to the tent of meeting, and shall take the hair of the head of his consecration, and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of the peace-offering.

 ¹⁹And the priest shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them upon the hands of the Nazarite, after he hath shaven [the hair of] his consecration.

 ²⁰And the priest shall wave them as wave-offering before Jehovah; it is holy for the priest, with the breast of the wave-offering and with the shoulder of the heave-offering; and afterwards the Nazarite may drink wine.

 ²¹This is the law of the Nazarite who hath vowed: his offering to Jehovah for his consecration, beside what his hand is able to get; according to the vow which he vowed, so shall he do, according to the law of his consecration.

 ²²And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

 ²³Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel: saying unto them,

 ²⁴Jehovah bless thee, and keep thee;

 ²⁵Jehovah make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee;

 ²⁶Jehovah lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

 ²⁷And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.

Mark 4

 ¹And again he began to teach by the sea. And a great crowd was gathered together to him, so that going on board ship he sat in the sea, and all the crowd were close to the sea on the land.

 ²And he taught them many things in parables. And he said to them in his doctrine,

 ³Hearken: Behold, the sower went forth to sow.

 ⁴And it came to pass as he sowed, one fell by the wayside, and the birds came and devoured it.

 ⁵And another fell on the rocky ground, where it had not much earth, and immediately it sprung up out [of the ground] because it had no depth of earth;

 ⁶and when the sun arose it was burnt up, and because of its not having any root, it withered.

 ⁷And another fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

 ⁸And another fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing; and bore, one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred.

 ⁹And he said, He that has ears to hear, let him hear.

 ¹⁰And when he was alone, those about him with the twelve asked him [as to] the parables.

 ¹¹And he said to them, To you is given [to know] the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to them who are without, all things are done in parables,

 ¹²that beholding they may behold and not see, and hearing they may hear and not understand, lest it may be, they should be converted and they should be forgiven.

 ¹³And he says to them, Do ye not know this parable? and how will ye be acquainted with all the parables?

 ¹⁴The sower sows the word:

 ¹⁵and these are they by the wayside where the word is sown, and when they hear, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.

 ¹⁶And these are they in like manner who are sown upon the rocky places, who when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy,

 ¹⁷and they have no root in themselves, but are for a time: then, tribulation arising, or persecution on account of the word, immediately they are offended.

 ¹⁸And others are they who are sown among the thorns: these are they who have heard the word,

 ¹⁹and the cares of life, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things, entering in, choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

 ²⁰And these are they who have been sown on the good ground, such as hear the word and receive it, and bear fruit; one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred [fold].
