Numbers 15

    ²Speak to the children of Israel and thou shalt say to them: When you shall be come into the land of your habitation, which I will give you,

    ³And shall make an offering to the Lord, for a holocaust, or a victim, paying your vows, or voluntarily offering gifts, or in your solemnities burning a sweet savour unto the Lord, of oxen or of sheep:

    ⁴Whosoever immolateth the victim, shall offer a sacrifice of fine flour, the tenth part of an ephi, tempered with the fourth part of a hin of oil:

    ⁵And he shall give the same measure of wine to pour out in libations for the holocaust or for the victim. For every lamb,

    ⁶And for every ram there shall be a sacrifice of hour of two tenths, which shall be tempered with the third part of a hin of oil:

    ⁷And he shall offer the third part of the same measure of wine for the libation, for a sweet savour to the Lord.

    ⁸But when thou offerest a holocaust or sacrifice of oxen, to fulfil thy vow or for victims of peace offerings,

    ⁹Thou shalt give for every ox three tenths of flour tempered with half a hin of oil,

    ¹⁰And wine for libations of the same measure, for an offering of most sweet savour to the Lord.

    ¹¹Thus shalt thou do

    ¹²For every ox and ram and lamb and kid.

    ¹³Both they that are born in the land, and the strangers

    ¹⁴Shall offer sacrifices after the same rite.

    ¹⁵There shall be all one law and judgment both for you and for them who are strangers in the land.

    ¹⁶And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

    ¹⁷Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them:

    ¹⁸When you are come into the land which I will give you,

    ¹⁹And shall eat of the bread of that country, you shall separate firstfruits to the Lord,

    ²⁰Of the things you eat. As you separate firstfruits of your barnfloors:

    ²¹So also shall you give firstfruits of your dough to the Lord.

    ²²And if through ignorance you omit any of these things, which the Lord hath spoken to Moses,

    ²³And by him hath commanded you, from the day that he began to command and thenceforward,

    ²⁴And the multitude have forgotten to do it: they shall offer a calf out of the herd, a holocaust for a most sweet savour to the Lord, and the sacrifice and libations thereof, as the ceremonies require, and a buck goat for sin:

    ²⁵And the priest shall pray for all the multitude of the children of Israel: and it shall be forgiven them, because they sinned ignorantly, offering notwithstanding a burnt offering to the Lord for themselves and for their sin and their ignorance:

    ²⁶And it shall be forgiven all the people of the children of Israel: and the strangers that sojourn among them: because it is the fault of all the people through ignorance.

    ²⁷But if one soul shall sin ignorantly, he shall offer a she goat of a year old for his sin.

    ²⁸And the priest shall pray for him, because he sinned ignorantly before the Lord: and he shall obtain his pardon, and it shall be forgiven him.

    ²⁹The same law shall be for all that sin by ignorance, whether they be natives or strangers.

    ³⁰But the soul that committeth any thing through pride, whether he be born in the land or a stranger (because he hath been rebellious against the Lord) shall be cut off from among his people:

    ³¹For he hath contemned the word the Lord, and made void his precept: therefore shall he be destroyed, and shall bear his iniquity.

    ³²And it came to pass, when the children of Israel were in the wilderness, and had found a man gathering sticks on the sabbath day,

    ³³That they brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole multitude.

    ³⁴And they put him into prison, not knowing what they should do with him.

    ³⁵And the Lord said to Moses: Let that man die, let all the multitude stone him without the camp.

    ³⁶And when they had brought him out, they stoned him, and he died as the Lord had commanded.

    ³⁷The Lord also said to Moses:

    ³⁸Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt tell them I to make to themselves fringes in the corners of their garments, putting in them ribands of blue:

    ³⁹That when they shall see them, they may remember all the commandments of the Lord, and not follow their own thoughts and eyes going astray after divers things,

    ⁴⁰But rather being mindful of the precepts of the Lord, may do them and be holy to their Cod.

    ⁴¹I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that I might be your God.

Numbers 16

    ²Rose lap against Moses, and with them two hundred and fifty others of the children of Israel, leading men of the synagogue, and who in the time of assembly were called by name.

    ³And when they had stood up against Moses and Aaron, they said: Let it be enough for you, that all the multitude consisteth of holy ones, and the Lord is among them: Why lift you up yourselves above the people of the Lord?

    ⁴When Moses heard this, he fell flat on his face:

    ⁵And speaking to Core and all the multitude, he said: In the morning the Lord will make known who belong to him, and the holy he will join to himself: and whom he shall choose, they shall approach to him.

    ⁶Do this therefore: Take every man of you your censers, thou Core, and all thy company.

    ⁷And putting fire in them to morrow, put incense upon it before the Lord: and whomsoever he shall choose, the same shall be holy: you take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.

    ⁸And he said again to Core: Hear ye sons of Levi.

    ⁹Is it a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath spared you from all the people, and joined you to himself, that you should serve him in the service of the tabernacle, and should stand before the congregation of the people, and should minister to him?

    ¹⁰Did he therefore make thee and all thy brethren the sons of Levi to approach unto him, that you should challenge to yourselves the priesthood also,

    ¹¹And that all thy company should stand against the Lord ? for what is Aaron that you murmur against him?

    ¹²Then Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiron the sons of Eliab. But they answered: We will not come.

    ¹³Is it a small matter to thee, that thou hast brought us out of a land that flowed with milk and honey, to kill us in the desert, except thou rule also like a lord over us?

    ¹⁴Thou best brought us indeed into a land that floweth with rivers of milk and honey, and hast given us possessions of fields and vineyards; wilt thou also pull out our eyes? We will not come.

    ¹⁵Moses therefore being very angry, raid to the Lord: Respect not their sacrifices: thou knowest that I have not taken of them so much as a young ass at any time, nor have injured any of them.

    ¹⁶And he said to Core: Do thou and thy congregation stand apart before the Lord to morrow, and Aaron apart.

    ¹⁷Take every one of you censers, and put incense upon them, offering to the Lord two hundred and fifty censers: let Aaron also hold his censer.

    ¹⁸When they had done this, Moses and Aaron standing,

    ¹⁹And had drawn up all the multitude against them to the door of the tabernacle, the glory of the Lord appeared to them all.

    ²⁰And the Lord speaking to Moses and Aaron, said:

    ²¹Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may presently destroy them.

    ²²They fell flat on their face, and said: O most mighty, the God of the spirits of all flesh, for one man's sin shall thy wrath rage against all?

    ²³And the Lord said to Moses:

    ²⁴Command the whole people to separate themselves from the tents of Core and Dathan and Abiron.

    ²⁵And Moses arose, and went to Dathan and Abiron: and the ancients of Israel following him,

    ²⁶He said to the multitude: Depart from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest you be involved in their sins.

    ²⁷And when they were departed from their tents round about, Dathan and Abiron coming out stood in the entry of their pavilions with their wives and children, and all the people.

    ²⁸And Moses said: By this you shall know that the Lord hath sent me to do all things that you see, and that I have not forged them of my own head:

    ²⁹If these men die the common death of men, and if they be visited with a plague, wherewith others also are wont to be visited, the Lord did not send me.

    ³⁰But if the Lord do a new thing, and the earth opening her mouth swallow them down, and all things that belong to them, and they go down alive into hell, you shall know that they have blasphemed the Lord.

    ³¹And immediately as he had made an end of speaking, the earth broke asunder under their feet:

    ³²And opening her mouth, devoured them with their tents and all their substance.

    ³³And they went down alive into hell the ground closing upon them, and they perished from among the people.

    ³⁴But all Israel, that was standing round about, fled at the cry of them that were perishing: saying: Lest perhaps the earth swallow us up also.

    ³⁵And a fire coming out from the Lord, destroyed the two hundred and fifty men that offered the incense.

    ³⁶And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

    ³⁷Command Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest to take up the censers that lie in the burning, and to scatter the fire of one side and the other: because they are sanctified

    ³⁸In the deaths of the sinners: and let him beat them into plates, and fasten them to the altar, because incense hath been offered in them to the Lord, and they are sanctified, that the children of Israel may see them for a sign and a memorial.

    ³⁹Then Eleazar the priest took the brazen censers, wherein they had offered, whom the burning fire had devoured, and beat them into plates, fastening them to the altar:

    ⁴⁰That the children of Israel might have for the time to come wherewith they should be admonished, that no stranger or any one that is not of seed of Aaron should come near to offer incense to the Lord, lest he should suffer as Core suffered, and all his congregation, according as the Lord spoke to Moses.

    ⁴¹The following day all the multitude of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron, saying: You have killed the people of the Lord.

    ⁴²And when there arose a sedition, and the tumult increased,

    ⁴³Moses and Aaron fled to the tabernacle of the covenant. And when the were gone into it, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared.

    ⁴⁴And the Lord said to Moses:

    ⁴⁵Get you out from the midst of this multitude, this moment will I destroy them. And as they were lying on the ground,

    ⁴⁶Moses said to Aaron: Take the censer, and putting fire in it from the altar, put incense upon it, and go quickly to the people to pray for them: for already wrath is gone out from the Lord, and the plague rageth.

    ⁴⁷When Aaron had done this, and had run to the midst of the multitude which the burning fire was now destroying, he offered the incense:

    ⁴⁸And standing between the dead and the living, he prayed for the people, and the plague ceased.

    ⁴⁹And the number of them that were slain was fourteen thousand and seven hundred men, besides them that had perished in the sedition of Core.

    ⁵⁰And Aaron returned to Moses to the door of the tabernacle of the covenant after the destruction was over.

Mark 6

    ²And when the sabbath was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were in admiration at his doctrine, saying: How came this man by all these things? and what wisdom is this that is given to him, and such mighty works as are wrought by his hands?

    ³Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joseph, and Jude, and Simon? are not also his sisters here with us? And they were scandalized in regard of him.

    ⁴And Jesus said to them: A prophet is not without honor, but in his own country, and in his own house, and among his own kindred.

    ⁵And he could not do any miracles there, only that he cured a few that were sick, laying his hands upon them.

    ⁶And he wondered because of their unbelief, and he went through the villages round about teaching.

    ⁷And he called the twelve; and began to send them two and two, and gave them power over unclean spirits.

    ⁸And he commanded them that they should take nothing for the way, but a staff only: no scrip, no bread, nor money in their purse,

    ⁹But to be shod with sandals, and that they should not put on two coats.

    ¹⁰And he said to them: Wheresoever you shall enter into an house, there abide till you depart from that place.

    ¹¹And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you; going forth from thence, shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony to them.

    ¹²And going forth they preached that men should do penance:

    ¹³And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.

    ¹⁴And king Herod heard, (for his name was made manifest,) and he said: John the Baptist is risen again from the dead, and therefore mighty works shew forth themselves in him.

    ¹⁵And others said: It is Elias. But others said: It is a prophet, as one of the prophets.

    ¹⁶Which Herod hearing, said: John whom I beheaded, he is risen again from the dead.

    ¹⁷For Herod himself had sent and apprehended John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, because he had married her.

    ¹⁸For John said to Herod: It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.

    ¹⁹Now Herodias laid snares for him: and was desirous to put him to death, and could not.

    ²⁰For Herod feared John, knowing him to be a just and holy man: and kept him, and when he heard him, did many things: and he heard him willingly.

    ²¹And when a convenient day was come, Herod made a supper for his birthday, for the princes, and tribunes, and chief men of Galilee.

    ²²And when the daughter of the same Herodias had come in, and had danced, and pleased Herod, and them that were at table with him, the king said to the damsel: Ask of me what thou wilt, and I will give it thee.

    ²³And he swore to her: Whatsoever thou shalt ask I will give thee, though it be the half of my kingdom.

    ²⁴Who when she was gone out, said to her mother, What shall I ask? But she said: The head of John the Baptist.

    ²⁵And when she was come in immediately with haste to the king, she asked, saying: I will that forthwith thou give me in a dish, the head of John the Baptist.

    ²⁶And the king was struck sad. Yet because of his oath, and because of them that were with him at table, he would not displease her:

    ²⁷But sending an executioner, he commanded that his head should be brought in a dish.

    ²⁸And he beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head in a dish: and gave it to the damsel, and the damsel gave it to her mother.

    ²⁹Which his disciples hearing came, and took his body, and laid it in a tomb.
