Exodus 29

    ²And unleavened bread, and a cake without leaven, tempered with oil, wafers also unleavened anointed with oil: thou shalt make them all of wheaten flour.

    ³And thou shalt put them in a basket and offer them: and the calf and the two rams.

    ⁴And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony. And when thou hast washed the father and his sons with water,

    ⁵Thou shalt clothe Aaron with his vestments, that is, with the linen garment and the tunick, and the ephod and the rational, which thou shalt gird with the girdle.

    ⁶And thou shalt put the mitre upon his head, and the holy plate upon the mitre,

    ⁷And thou shalt pour the oil of unction upon his head: and by this rite shall he be consecrated.

    ⁸Thou shalt bring his sons also and shalt put on them the linen tunicks, and gird them with a girdle:

    ⁹To wit, Aaron and his children, and thou shalt put mitres upon them: and they shall be priests to me by a perpetual ordinance. After thou shalt have consecrated their hands,

    ¹⁰Thou shalt present also the calf before the tabernacle of the testimony. And Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon his head,

    ¹¹And thou shalt kill him in the sight of the Lord, beside the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.

    ¹²And taking some of the blood of the calf, thou shalt put it upon the horns of the altar with thy finger, and the rest of the blood thou shalt pour at the bottom thereof.

    ¹³Thou shalt take also all the fat that covereth the entrails, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and shalt offer a burnt offering upon the altar:

    ¹⁴But the flesh of the calf and the hide and the dung, thou shalt burn abroad, without the camp, because it is for sin.

    ¹⁵Thou shalt take also one ram upon the head whereof Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands.

    ¹⁶And when thou hast killed him, thou shalt take of the blood thereof, and pour round about the altar:

    ¹⁷And thou shalt cut the ram in pieces, and having washed his entrails and feet, thou shalt put them upon the flesh that is cut in pieces, and upon his head.

    ¹⁸And thou shalt offer the whole ram for a burnt offering upon the altar: it is an oblation to the Lord, a most sweet savour of the victim of the Lord.

    ¹⁹Thou shalt take also the other ram, upon whose head Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands.

    ²⁰And when thou hast sacrificed him, thou shalt take of his blood, and put upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron and of his sons, and upon the thumbs and great toes of their right hand and foot, and thou shalt pour the blood upon the altar round about.

    ²¹And when thou hast taken of the blood, that is upon the altar, and of the oil of unction, thou shalt sprinkle Aaron and his vesture, his sons and their vestments. And after they and their vestments are consecrated,

    ²²Thou shalt take the fat of the ram, and the rump, and the fat that covereth the lungs, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and the right shoulder, because it is the ram of consecration.

    ²³And one roll of bread, a cake tempered with oil, a wafer out of the basket of unleavened bread, which is set in the sight of the Lord.

    ²⁴And thou shalt put all upon the hands of Aaron and of his sons, and shalt sanctify them elevating before the Lord.

    ²⁵And thou shalt take all from their hands, and shalt burn them upon the altar for a holocaust, a most sweet savour in the sight of the Lord, because it is his oblation.

    ²⁶Thou shalt take also the breast of the ram, wherewith Aaron was consecrated, and elevating it thou shalt sanctify it before the Lord, and it shall fall to thy share.

    ²⁷And thou shalt sanctify both the consecrated breast, and the shoulder that thou didst separate of the ram,

    ²⁸Wherewith Aaron was consecrated and his sons, and they shall fall to Aarons share and his sons' by a perpetual right from the children of Israel: because they are the choicest and the beginnings of their peace victims which they offer to the Lord.

    ²⁹And the holy vesture, which Aaron shall use, his sons shall have after him, that they may be anointed, and their hands consecrated to it.

    ³⁰He of his sons that shall be appointed high priest in his stead, and that shall enter into the tabernacle of the testimony to minister in the sanctuary, shall wear it seven days.

    ³¹And thou shalt take the ram of the consecration, and shalt boil the flesh thereof in the holy place:

    ³²And Aaron and his sons shall eat it. The loaves also, that are in the basket, they shall eat in the entry of the tabernacle of the testimony,

    ³³That it may be an atoning sacrifice, and the hands of the offerers may be sanctified. A stranger shall not eat of them, because they are holy.

    ³⁴And if there remain of the consecrated flash, or of the bread till the morning, thou shalt burn the remainder with fire: they shall not be eaten, because they are sanctified.

    ³⁵All that I have commanded thee, thou shalt do unto Aaron and his sons. Seven days shalt thou consecrate their hands:

    ³⁶And thou shalt offer a calf for sin every day for expiation. And thou shalt cleanse the altar when thou hast offered the victim of expiation, and shalt anoint it to sanctify it.

    ³⁷Seven days shalt thou expiate the altar and sanctify it, and it shall be most holy. Every one that shall touch it shall be holy.

    ³⁸This is what thou shalt sacrifice upon the altar: Two lambs of a year old every day continually.

    ³⁹One lamb in the morning and another in the evening.

    ⁴⁰With one lamb a tenth part of flour tempered with beaten oil, of the fourth part of a hin, and wine for libation of the same measure.

    ⁴¹And the other lamb thou shalt offer in the evening, according to the rite of the morning oblation, and according to what we have said, for a savour of sweetness:

    ⁴²It is a sacrifice to the Lord, by perpetual oblation unto your generations, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony before the Lord, where I will appoint to speak unto thee.

    ⁴³And there will I command the children of Israel, and the altar shall be sanctified by my glory.

    ⁴⁴I will sanctify also the tabernacle of the testimony with the altar, and Aaron with his sons, to do the office of priesthood unto me.

    ⁴⁵And I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel, and will be their God:

    ⁴⁶And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, who have brought them out of the land of Egypt, that I might abide among them, I the Lord their God.

Exodus 30

    ²It shall be a cubit in length, and another in breadth, that is, foursquare, and two in height. Horns shall go out of the same.

    ³And thou shalt overlay it with the purest gold, as well as the grate thereof, as the walls round about and the horns. And thou shalt make to it a crown of gold round about,

    ⁴And two golden rings under the crown on either side, that the bars may be put into them, and the altar be carried.

    ⁵And thou shalt make the bars also of setim wood, and shalt overlay them with gold.

    ⁶And thou shalt set the altar over against the veil, that hangeth before the ark of the testimony before the propitiatory wherewith the testimony is covered, where I will speak to thee.

    ⁷And Aaron shall burn sweet smelling incense upon it in the morning. When he shall dress the lamps, he shall burn it:

    ⁸And when he shall place them in the evening, he shall burn an everlasting incense before the Lord throughout your generations.

    ⁹You shall not offer upon it incense of another composition nor oblation, and victim, neither shall you offer libations.

    ¹⁰And Aaron shall pray upon the horns thereof once a year, with the blood of that which was offered for sin, and shall make atonement upon it in your generations. It shall be most holy to the Lord.

    ¹¹And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

    ¹²When thou shalt take the sum of the children of Israel according to their number, every one of them shall give a price for their souls to the Lord, and there shall be no scourge among them, when they shall be reckoned.

    ¹³And this shall every one give that passeth at the naming, half a sicle according to the standard of the temple. A sicle hath twenty obols. Half a sicle shall be offered to the Lord.

    ¹⁴He that is counted in the number from twenty years and upwards, shall give the price.

    ¹⁵The rich man shall not add to half a sicle, and the poor man shall diminish nothing.

    ¹⁶And the money received which was contributed by the children of Israel, thou shalt deliver unto the uses of the tabernacle of the testimony, that it may be a memorial of them before the Lord, and he may be merciful to their souls.

    ¹⁷And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

    ¹⁸Thou shalt make also a brazen laver with its foot, to wash in: and thou shalt set it between the tabernacle of the testimony and the altar. And water being put into it,

    ¹⁹Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and feet in it:

    ²⁰When they are going into the tabernacle of the testimony, and when they are to come to the altar, to offer on it incense to the Lord,

    ²¹Lest perhaps they die. It shall be an everlasting law to him, and to his seed by successions.

    ²²And the Lord spoke to Moses,

    ²³Saying: Take spices, of principal and chosen myrrh five hundred sicles, and of cinnamon half so much, that is, two hundred and fifty sicles, of calamus in like manner two hundred and fifty.

    ²⁴And of cassia five hundred sicles by the weight of the sanctuary, of oil of olives the measure hin:

    ²⁵And thou shalt make the holy oil of unction, an ointment compounded after the art of the perfumer,

    ²⁶And therewith thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the testimony, and the ark of the testament,

    ²⁷And the table with the vessels thereof, the candlestick and furniture thereof, the altars of incense,

    ²⁸And of holocaust, and all the furniture that belongeth to the service of them.

    ²⁹And thou shalt sanctify all, and they shall be most holy: he that shall touch them shall be sanctified.

    ³⁰Thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and shalt sanctify them, that they may do the office of priesthood unto me.

    ³¹And thou shalt say to the children of Israel: This oil of unction shall be holy unto me throughout your generations.

    ³²The flesh of man shall not be anointed therewith, and you shall make none other of the same composition, because it is sanctified, and shall be holy unto you.

    ³³What man soever shall compound such, and shall give thereof to a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.

    ³⁴And the Lord said to Moses: Take unto thee spices, stacte, and onycha, galbanum of sweet savour, and the clearest frankincense, all shall be of equal weight.

    ³⁵And thou shalt make incense compounded by the work of the perfumer, well tempered together, and pure, and most worthy of sanctification.

    ³⁶And when thou has beaten all into very small powder, thou shalt set of it before the tabernacle of the testimony, in the place where I will appear to thee. Most holy shall this incense be to you.

    ³⁷You shall not make such a composition for your own uses, because it is holy to the Lord.

    ³⁸What man soever shall make the like, to enjoy the smell thereof, he shall perish out of his people.

²³And when he was come into the temple, there came to him, as he was teaching, the chief priests and ancients of the people, saying: By what authority dost thou these things? and who hath given thee this authority?

    ²⁴Jesus answering, said to them: I also will ask you one word, which if you shall tell me, I will also tell you by what authority I do these things.

    ²⁵The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven or from men? But they thought within themselves, saying:

    ²⁶If we shall say, from heaven, he will say to us: Why then did you not believe him? But if we shall say, from men, we are afraid of the multitude: for all held John as a prophet.

    ²⁷And answering Jesus, they said: We know not. He also said to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

    ²⁸But what think you? A certain man had two sons; and coming to the first, he said: Son, go work to day in my vineyard.

    ²⁹And he answering, said: I will not. But afterwards, being moved with repentance, he went.

    ³⁰And coming to the other, he said in like manner. And he answering, said: I go, Sir; and he went not.

    ³¹Which of the two did the father's will? They say to him: The first. Jesus saith to them: Amen I say to you, that the publicans and the harlots shall go into the kingdom of God before you.

    ³²For John came to you in the way of justice, and you did not believe him. But the publicans and the harlots believed him: but you, seeing it, did not even afterwards repent, that you might believe him.

    ³³Hear ye another parable. There was a man an householder, who planted a vineyard, and made a hedge round about it, and dug in it a press, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen; and went into a strange country.

    ³⁴And when the time of the fruits drew nigh, he sent his servants to the husbandmen that they might receive the fruits thereof.

    ³⁵And the husbandmen laying hands on his servants, beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.

    ³⁶Again he sent other servants more than the former; and they did to them in like manner.

    ³⁷And last of all he sent to them his son, saying: They will reverence my son.

    ³⁸But the husbandmen seeing the son, said among themselves: This is the heir: come, let us kill him, and we shall have his inheritance.

    ³⁹And taking him, they cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him.

    ⁴⁰When therefore the lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do to those husbandmen?

    ⁴¹They say to him: He will bring those evil men to an evil end; and will let out his vineyard to other husbandmen, that shall render him the fruit in due season.

    ⁴²Jesus saith to them: Have you never read in the Scriptures: The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? By the Lord this has been done; and it is wonderful in our eyes.

    ⁴³Therefore I say to you, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and shall be given to a nation yielding the fruits thereof.

    ⁴⁴And whosoever shall fall on this stone, shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder.

    ⁴⁵And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they knew that he spoke of them.
