Leviticus 6

    ²Whosoever shall sin, and despising the Lord, shall deny to his neighbour the thing delivered to his keeping, which was committed to his trust; or shall by force extort any thing, or commit oppression;

    ³Or shall find a thing lost, and denying it, shall also swear falsely, or shall do any other of the many things, wherein men are wont to sin:

    ⁴Being convicted of the offence, he shall restore

    ⁵All that he would have gotten by fraud, in the principal, and the fifth part besides to the owner, whom he wronged.

    ⁶Moreover for his sin he shall offer a ram without blemish out of the flock, and shall give it to the priest, according to the estimation and measure of the offence:

    ⁷And he shall pray for him before the Lord, and he shall have forgiveness for every thing in doing of which he hath sinned.

    ⁸And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

    ⁹Command Aaron and his sons: This is the law of a holocaust: It shall be burnt upon the altar, all night until morning: the fire shall be of the same altar.

    ¹⁰The priest shall be vested with the tunick and the linen breeches, and he shall take up the ashes of that which the devouring fire hath burnt, and putting them beside the altar,

    ¹¹Shall put off his former vestments, and being clothed with others, shall carry them forth without the camp, and shall cause them to be consumed to dust in a very clean place,

    ¹²And the fire on the altar shall always burn, and the priest shall feed it, putting wood on it every day in the morning, and laying on the holocaust, shall burn thereupon the fat of the peace offerings.

    ¹³This is the perpetual fire which shall never go out on the altar.

    ¹⁴This is the law of the sacrifice and libations, which the children of Aaron shall offer before the Lord, and before the altar.

    ¹⁵The priest shall take a handful of the flour that is tempered with oil, and all the frankincense that is put upon the flour: and he shall burn it on the altar for a memorial of most sweet odour to the Lord:

    ¹⁶And the part of the flour that is left, Aaron and his sons shall eat, without leaven: and he shall eat it in the holy place of the court of the tabernacle.

    ¹⁷And therefore it shall not be leavened, because part thereof is offered for the burnt sacrifice of the Lord. It shall be most holy, as that which is offered for sin and for trespass.

    ¹⁸The males only of the race of Aaron shall eat it. It shall be an ordinance everlasting in your generations concerning the sacrifices of the Lord: Every one that toucheth them shall be sanctified.

    ¹⁹And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

    ²⁰This is the oblation of Aaron, and of his sons, which they must offer to the Lord, in the day of their anointing: They shall offer the tenth part of an ephi of flour for a perpetual sacrifice, half of it in the morning, and half of it in the evening:

    ²¹It shall be tempered with oil, and shall be fried in a fryingpan.

    ²²And the priest that rightfully succeedeth his father, shall offer it hot, for a most sweet odour to the Lord, and it shall be wholly burnt on the altar.

    ²³For every sacrifice of the priest shall be consumed with fire, neither shall any man eat thereof.

    ²⁴And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

    ²⁵Say to Aaron and his sons: This is the law of the victim for sin: in the place where the holocaust is offered, it shall be immolated before the Lord. It is holy of holies.

    ²⁶The priest that offereth it, shall eat it in a holy place, in the court of the tabernacle.

    ²⁷Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof, shall be sanctified. If a garment be sprinkled with the blood thereof, it shall be washed in a holy place.

    ²⁸And the earthen vessel, wherein it was sodden, shall be broken, but if the vessel be of brass, it shall be scoured, and washed with water.

    ²⁹Every male of the priestly race shall eat of the flesh thereof, because it is holy of holies.

    ³⁰For the victim that is slain for sin, the blood of which is carried into the tabernacle of the testimony to make atonement in the sanctuary, shall not be eaten, but shall be burnt with fire.

Leviticus 7

    ²Therefore where the holocaust is immolated, the victim also for a trespass shall be slain: the blood thereof shall be poured round about the altar.

    ³They shall offer thereof the rump and the fat that covereth the entrails:

    ⁴The two little kidneys, and the fat which is by the flanks, and the caul of the liver with the little kidneys.

    ⁵And the priest shall burn them upon the altar: it is the burnt sacrifice of the Lord for a trespass.

    ⁶Every male of the priestly race, shall eat this flesh in a holy place, because it is most holy.

    ⁷As the sacrifice for sin is offered, so is also that for a trespass: the same shall be the law of both these sacrifices: it shall belong to the priest that offereth it.

    ⁸The priest that offereth the victim of holocaust, shall have the skin thereof.

    ⁹And every sacrifice of flour that is baked in the oven, and whatsoever is dressed on the gridiron, or in the fryingpan, shall be the priest's that offereth it:

    ¹⁰Whether they be tempered with oil, or dry, all the sons of Aaron shall have one as much as another.

    ¹¹This is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings that is offered to the Lord.

    ¹²If the oblation be for thanksgiving, they shall offer leaves without leaven tempered with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and fine flour fried, and cakes tempered and mingled with oil:

    ¹³Moreover leaves of leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanks, which is offered for peace offerings:

    ¹⁴Of which one shall be offered to the Lord for firstfruits, and shall be the priest's that shall pour out the blood of the victim.

    ¹⁵And the flesh of it shall be eaten the same day, neither shall any of it remain until the morning.

    ¹⁶If any man by vow, or of his own accord offer a sacrifice, it shall in like manner be eaten the same day: and if any of it remain until the morrow, it is lawful to eat it:

    ¹⁷But whatsoever shall be found on the third day shall be consumed with fire.

    ¹⁸If any man eat of the flesh of the victim of peace offerings on the third day, the oblation shall be of no effect, neither shall it profit the offerer: yea rather whatsoever soul shall defile itself with such meat, shall be guilty of transgression.

    ¹⁹The flesh that hath touched any unclean thing, shall not be eaten, but shall be burnt with fire: he that is clean shall eat of it.

    ²⁰If any one that is defiled shall eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which is offered to the Lord, he shall be cut off from his people.

    ²¹And he that hath touched the uncleanness of man, or of beast, or of any thing that can defile, and shall eat of such kind of flesh, shall be cut off from his people.

    ²²And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

    ²³Say to the children of Israel: The fat of a sheep, and of an ox, and of a goat you shall not eat.

    ²⁴The fat of a carcass that hath died of itself, and of a beast that was caught by another beast, you shall have for divers uses.

    ²⁵If any man eat the fat that should be offered for the burnt sacrifice of the Lord, he shall perish out of his people.

    ²⁶Moreover you shall not eat the blood of any creature whatsoever, whether of birds or beasts.

    ²⁷Every one that eateth blood, shall perish from among the people.

    ²⁸And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

    ²⁹Speak to the children of Israel, saying: He that offereth a victim of peace offerings to the Lord, let him offer therewith a sacrifice also, that is, the libations thereof.

    ³⁰He shall hold in his hands the fat of the victim, and the breast: and when he hath offered and consecrated both to the Lord, he shall deliver them to the priest,

    ³¹Who shall burn the fat upon the altar, but the breast shall be Aaron's and his sons'.

    ³²The right shoulder also of the victims of peace offerings shall fall to the priest for firstfruits.

    ³³He among the sons of Aaron, that offereth the blood, and the fat, he shall have the right shoulder also for his portion.

    ³⁴For the breast that is elevated and the shoulder that is separated I have taken of the children of Israel, from off their victims of peace offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest, and to his sons, by a law for ever, from all the people of Israel.

    ³⁵This is the anointing of Aaron and his sons, in the ceremonies of the Lord, in the day when Moses offered them, that they might do the office of priesthood,

    ³⁶And the things that the Lord commanded to be given them by the children of Israel, by a perpetual observance in their generations.

    ³⁷This is the law of holocaust, and of the sacrifice for sin, and for trespass, and for consecration, and the victims of peace offerings:

    ³⁸Which the Lord appointed to Moses in mount Sinai, when he commanded the children of Israel, that they should offer their oblations to the Lord in the desert of Sinai.

Matthew 25

    ²And five of them were foolish, and five wise.

    ³But the five foolish, having taken their lamps, did not take oil with them:

    ⁴But the wise took oil in their vessels with the lamps.

    ⁵And the bridegroom tarrying, they all slumbered and slept.

    ⁶And at midnight there was a cry made: Behold the bridegroom cometh, go ye forth to meet him.

    ⁷Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.

    ⁸And the foolish said to the wise: Give us of your oil, for our lamps are gone out.

    ⁹The wise answered, saying: Lest perhaps there be not enough for us and for you, go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

    ¹⁰Now whilst they went to buy, the bridegroom came: and they that were ready, went in with him to the marriage, and the door was shut.

    ¹¹But at last come also the other virgins, saying: Lord, Lord, open to us.

    ¹²But he answering said: Amen I say to you, I know you not.

    ¹³Watch ye therefore, because you know not the day nor the hour.

    ¹⁴For even as a man going into a far country, called his servants, and delivered to them his goods;

    ¹⁵And to one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to every one according to his proper ability: and immediately he took his journey.

    ¹⁶And he that had received the five talents, went his way, and traded with the same, and gained other five.

    ¹⁷And in like manner he that had received the two, gained other two.

    ¹⁸But he that had received the one, going his way digged into the earth, and hid his lord's money.

    ¹⁹But after a long time the lord of those servants came, and reckoned with them.

    ²⁰And he that had received the five talents coming, brought other five talents, saying: Lord, thou didst deliver to me five talents, behold I have gained other five over and above.

    ²¹His lord said to him: Well done, good and faithful servant, because thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

    ²²And he also that had received the two talents came and said: Lord, thou deliveredst two talents to me: behold I have gained other two.

    ²³His lord said to him: Well done, good and faithful servant: because thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

    ²⁴But he that had received the one talent, came and said: Lord, I know that thou art a hard man; thou reapest where thou hast not sown, and gatherest where thou hast not strewed.

    ²⁵And being afraid I went and hid thy talent in the earth: behold here thou hast that which is thine.

    ²⁶And his lord answering, said to him: Wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sow not, and gather where I have not strewed:

    ²⁷Thou oughtest therefore to have committed my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received my own with usury.

    ²⁸Take ye away therefore the talent from him, and give it to him that hath ten talents.

    ²⁹For to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall abound: but from him that hath not, that also which he seemeth to have shall be taken away.

    ³⁰And the unprofitable servant cast ye out into the exterior darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
