Leviticus 23
1599 Geneva Bible
23 2 The feasts of the Lord. 3 The Sabbath. 5 The Passover. 6 The feast of unleavened bread. 10 The feast of firstfruits. 16 Whitsuntide. 24 The feast of blowing trumpets. 34 The feast of Tabernacles.
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, The feasts of the Lord which ye shall call the holy [a]assemblies, even these are my feasts.
3 (A)Six days [b]shall work be done, but in the seventh day shall be the Sabbath of rest, an holy [c]convocation: ye shall do no work therein, it is the Sabbath of the Lord, in all your dwellings.
4 ¶ These are the feasts of the Lord, and holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their [d]seasons.
5 In the first month and in the fourteenth day of the month at evening shall be the Passover of the Lord.
6 And on the fifteenth day of this month shall be the feast (B)of unleavened bread unto the Lord: seven days ye shall eat unleavened bread.
7 In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no [e]servile work therein.
8 Also ye shall offer sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord seven days, and in the [f]seventh day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
9 ¶ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring [g]a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the Priest,
11 And he shall shake the sheaf before the Lord, that it may be acceptable for you: the morrow after the [h]Sabbath, the Priest shall shake it.
12 And that day when ye shake the sheaf, shall ye prepare a lamb without blemish of a year old, for a burnt offering unto the Lord:
13 And the meat offering thereof shall be two [i]tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, for a sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord of sweet savor: and the drink offering thereof the fourth part [j]of an Hin of wine.
14 And ye shall eat neither bread nor parched corn, nor [k]green ears until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God: this shall be a Law forever in your generations and in all your dwellings.
15 ¶ Ye shall count also to you from the morrow after the [l]Sabbath, even from the day that ye shall bring the sheaf of the shake offering, seven [m]Sabbaths, they shall be complete.
16 Unto the morrow after the seventh Sabbath shall ye number fifty days: then ye shall bring a new meat offering unto the Lord.
17 Ye shall bring out of your habitations bread for the shake offering: they shall be two loaves of two tenth deals of fine flour, which shall be baken with [n]leaven for firstfruits unto the Lord.
18 Also ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of one year old, and a young bullock and two rams: they shall be for a burnt offering unto the Lord, with their meat offerings and their drink offerings, for a sacrifice made by fire of a sweet savor unto the Lord.
19 Then ye shall prepare an he goat for a sin offering, and two lambs of one year old for peace offerings.
20 And the Priest shall shake them to and fro with the bread of the firstfruits before the Lord, and with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the Lord, for the [o]Priest.
21 So ye shall proclaim the same day, that it may be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work therein: it shall be an ordinance forever in all your dwellings, throughout your generations.
22 ¶ (C)And when you reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not rid clean the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou make any aftergathering of thy harvest, but shalt leave them unto the poor and to the stranger, I am the Lord your God.
23 ¶ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
24 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say, In the [p]seventh month, and in the first day of the month shall ye [q]have a Sabbath, for the remembrance of [r]blowing the trumpets, an holy convocation.
25 Ye shall do no servile work therein, but offer sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord.
26 ¶ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
27 The (D)tenth also of this seventh month, shall be a day of reconciliation: it shall be an holy convocation unto you, and ye shall [s]humble your souls, and offer sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord.
28 And ye shall do no work that same day: for it is a day of reconciliation, to make an atonement for you before the Lord your God.
29 For every person that humbleth not himself that same day, shall even be cut off from his people.
30 And every person that shall do any work that same day, the same person also will I destroy from among his people.
31 Ye shall do no manner work therefore: this shall be a law forever in your generations, throughout all your dwellings.
32 This shall be unto you a Sabbath of rest, and ye shall humble your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from [t]even to even shall ye [u]celebrate your Sabbath.
33 ¶ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
34 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say, (E)In the fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be for seven days the feast of Tabernacles unto the Lord.
35 In the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
36 Seven days ye shall offer (F)sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord, and in the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you, and ye shall offer sacrifices made by fire unto the Lord: it is the [v]solemn assembly, ye shall do no servile work therein.
37 These are the feasts of the Lord (which ye shall call holy convocations) to offer sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord, as burnt offering, and meat offering, [w]sacrifice, and drink offerings, every one upon his day,
38 Beside the Sabbaths of the Lord, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your free offerings, which ye shall give unto the Lord.
39 But in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep an holy feast unto the Lord seven days: in the first day shall be a [x]Sabbath: likewise in the eighth day shall be a Sabbath.
40 And ye shall take you in the first day the fruit of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of [y]thick trees, and willows of the brook, and shall rejoice before the Lord your God seven days.
41 So ye shall keep this feast unto the Lord seven days in the year, by a perpetual ordinance through your generations: in the seventh month shall you keep it.
42 Ye shall dwell in booths seven days: all that are Israelites born, shall dwell in booths,
43 That your posterity may know that I have made the children of Israel to dwell in [z]booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
44 So Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the Lord.

Mark 4
1599 Geneva Bible
4 4 The parable of the sower. 14 And the meaning thereof. 18 Thorns. 21 The candle. 26 Of him that sowed, and then slept. 31 The grain of mustard seed. 38 Christ sleepeth in the ship.
1 And (A)he began again to teach by the [a]seaside, and there gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat [b]in the sea, and all the people was by the seaside on the land.
2 And he taught them many things in parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,
3 [c]Hearken: Behold, there went out a sower to sow.
4 And it came to pass as he sowed, that some fell by the wayside, and the fowls of the heaven came, and devoured it up.
5 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth, and by and by sprang up, because it had not depth of earth.
6 But as soon as the Sun was up, it was burnt up, and because it had not root, it withered away.
7 And some fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, so that it gave no fruit.
8 Some again fell in good ground, and did yield fruit that sprung up, and grew, and it brought forth, some thirtyfold, some sixtyfold, and some an hundredfold.
9 Then he said unto them, He that hath ears, to hear, let him hear.
10 And when he was [d]alone, they that were [e]about him with the twelve, asked him of the parable.
11 And he said unto them, To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are [f]without, all things be done in parables,
12 (B)That they seeing, may see, and not discern: and they hearing, may hear, and not understand, lest at any time they should turn, and their sins should be forgiven them.
13 Again he said unto them, Perceive ye not this parable? how then should ye understand all other parables?
14 The sower soweth the word.
15 And these are they that receive the seed by the wayside, in whom the word is sown: but when they have heard it, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
16 And likewise they that receive the seed in stony ground, are they, which when they have heard the word, straightway receive it with gladness.
17 Yet have they no root in themselves, and endure but a time: for when trouble and persecution ariseth for the word, immediately they be offended.
18 Also they that receive the seed among the thorns, are such as hear the word:
19 But the cares [g]of this world, and the (C)deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things enter in, and choke the word, and it is unfruitful.
20 But they that have received seed in good ground, are they that hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit: one corn thirty, another sixty, and some an hundred.
21 ¶ [h]Also he said unto them, (D)Cometh the candle in, to be put under a bushel, or under the bed, and not to be put in a candlestick?
22 (E)For there is nothing hid, that shall not be opened, neither is there a secret, but that it shall come to light.
23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
24 [i]And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear. (F)With what measure you mete, it shall be measured unto you: and unto you that hear, shall more be given.
25 (G)For unto him that hath, shall it be given, and from him that hath not, shall be taken away even that he hath.
26 ¶ [j]Also he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed in the ground.
27 And [k]should sleep, and rise up night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he [l]not knowing how.
28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit [m]of itself, first the blade, then the ears, after that full corn in the ears.
29 And as soon as the fruit showeth itself, anon he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
30 ¶ (H)[n]He said moreover, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which when it is sown in the earth, is the least of all seeds that be in the earth:
32 But after that it is sown, it groweth up, and is greatest of all herbs, and beareth great branches, so that the fowls of the heaven may build under the shadow of it.
33 And (I)with many such parables he preached the word unto them, [o]as they were able to hear it.
34 And without parables spake he nothing unto them: but he [p]expounded all things to his disciples apart.
35 ¶ (J)Now the same day when even was come, he said unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.
36 And they left the multitude, and took him as he was in the ship, and there was also with him other little ships.
37 [q]And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves dashed into the ship, so that it was now full.
38 And he was in the stern asleep on a pillow: and they awoke him, and said to him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
39 And he arose up, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, and be still. So the wind ceased, and it was a great calm.
40 Then he said unto them, [r]Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, Who is this, that both the wind and sea obey him?
