²¹ And when Jesus had recrossed in the boat to the other side, a great throng gathered about Him, and He was at the lakeshore.

²² Then one of the rulers of the synagogue came up, Jairus by name; and seeing Him, he prostrated himself at His feet

²³ And begged Him earnestly, saying, My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay Your hands on her, so that she may be healed and live.

²⁴ And Jesus went with him; and a great crowd kept following Him and pressed Him ^[a]from all sides [so as almost to suffocate Him].

²⁵ And there was a woman who had had a flow of blood for twelve years,

²⁶ And who had endured much ^[b]suffering under [the hands of] many physicians and had spent all that she had, and was no better but instead grew worse.

²⁷ She had heard the reports concerning Jesus, and she came up behind Him in the throng and touched His garment,

²⁸ For she kept saying, If I only touch His garments, I shall be restored to health.

²⁹ And immediately her flow of blood was dried up at the source, and [^[c]suddenly] she felt in her body that she was healed of her [^[d]distressing] ailment.

³⁰ And Jesus, recognizing in Himself that the power proceeding from Him had gone forth, turned around immediately in the crowd and said, Who touched My clothes?

³¹ And the disciples kept saying to Him, You see the crowd pressing hard around You ^[e]from all sides, and You ask, Who touched Me?

³² Still He kept looking around to see her who had done it.

³³ But the woman, knowing what had been done for her, though alarmed and frightened and trembling, fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth.

³⁴ And He said to her, Daughter, your faith (your ^[f]trust and confidence in Me, springing from faith in God) has restored you to health. Go in ^[g](into) peace and be continually healed and freed from your [^[h]distressing bodily] disease.

³⁵ While He was still speaking, there came some from the ruler’s house, who said [to Jairus], Your daughter has died. Why bother and distress the Teacher any further?

^36 [i]Overhearing but ignoring what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, Do not be seized with alarm and struck with fear; only keep on believing.

³⁷ And He permitted no one to accompany Him except Peter and James and John the brother of James.

³⁸ When they arrived at the house of the ruler of the synagogue, He ^[j]looked [carefully and with understanding] at [the] tumult and the people weeping and wailing loudly.

³⁹ And when He had gone in, He said to them, Why do you make an uproar and weep? The little girl is not dead but is sleeping.

⁴⁰ And they laughed and ^[k]jeered at Him. But He put them all out, and, taking the child’s father and mother and those who were with Him, He went in where the little girl was lying.

⁴¹ Gripping her [firmly] by the hand, He said to her, Talitha cumi—which translated is, Little girl, I say to you, arise [^[l]from the sleep of death]!

⁴² And instantly the girl got up and started walking around—for she was twelve years old. And they were utterly astonished and overcome with amazement.

⁴³ And He strictly commanded and warned them that no one should know this, and He [^[m]expressly] told them to give her [something] to eat.

22 And the Lord said to Moses,

² Say to Aaron and his sons that they shall stay away from the holy things which the Israelites dedicate to Me, that they may not profane My holy name; I am the Lord.

³ Tell them, Any one of your offspring throughout your generations who goes to the holy things which the Israelites dedicate to the Lord when he is unclean, that [priest] shall be cut off from My presence and excluded from the sanctuary; I am the Lord.

⁴ No man of the offspring of Aaron who is a leper or has a discharge shall eat of the holy things [the offerings and the showbread] until he is clean. And whoever touches any person or thing made unclean by contact with a corpse or a man who has had a discharge of semen,

⁵ Or whoever touches any dead creeping thing by which he may be made unclean, or a man from whom he may acquire uncleanness, whatever it may be,^(A)

⁶ The priest who has touched any such thing shall be unclean until evening and shall not eat of the holy things unless he has bathed with water.^(B)

⁷ When the sun is down, he shall be clean, and afterward may eat of the holy things, for they are his food.

⁸ That which dies of itself or is torn by beasts he shall not eat, defiling himself with it. I am the Lord.

⁹ The priests therefore shall observe My ordinance, lest they bear sin for it and die thereby if they profane it. I am the Lord, Who sanctifies them.

¹⁰ No outsider [not of the family of Aaron] shall eat of the holy thing [which has been offered to God]; a sojourner with the priest or a hired servant shall not eat of the holy thing.

¹¹ But if a priest buys a slave with his money, the slave may eat of the holy thing, and he also who is born in the priest’s house; they may eat of his food.

¹² If a priest’s daughter is married to an outsider [not of the priestly tribe], she shall not eat of the offering of the holy things.

¹³ But if a priest’s daughter is a widow or divorced, and has no child, and returns to her father’s house as in her youth, she shall eat of her father’s food; but no stranger shall eat of it.

¹⁴ And if a man eats unknowingly of the holy thing [which has been offered to God], then he shall add one-fifth of its value to it and repay that amount to the priest for the holy thing.

¹⁵ The priests shall not profane the holy things the Israelites offer to the Lord,

¹⁶ And so cause them [by neglect of any essential observance] to bear the iniquity when they eat their holy things; for I the Lord sanctify them.

¹⁷ And the Lord said to Moses,

¹⁸ Say to Aaron and his sons and to all the Israelites, Whoever of the house of Israel and of the foreigners in Israel brings his offering, whether to pay a vow or as a freewill offering which is offered to the Lord for a burnt offering

¹⁹ That you may be accepted, you shall offer a male without blemish of the young bulls, the sheep, or the goats.

²⁰ But you shall not offer anything which has a blemish, for it will not be acceptable for you.^(C)

²¹ And whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offering to the Lord to make a special vow to the Lord or for a freewill offering from the herd or from the flock must bring what is perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish in it.

²² Animals blind or made infirm and weak or maimed, or having sores or a wen or an itch or scabs, you shall not offer to the Lord or make an offering of them by fire upon the altar to the Lord.

²³ For a freewill offering you may offer either a bull or a lamb which has some part too long or too short, but for [the payment of] a vow it shall not be accepted.

²⁴ You shall not offer to the Lord any animal which has its testicles bruised or crushed or broken or cut, neither sacrifice it in your land.

²⁵ Neither shall you offer as the bread of your God any such animals obtained from a foreigner [who may wish to pay respect to the true God], because their defects render them unfit; there is a blemish in them; they will not be accepted for you.

²⁶ And the Lord said to Moses,

²⁷ When a bull or a sheep or a goat is born, it shall remain for seven days with its mother; and from the eighth day on it shall be accepted for an offering made by fire to the Lord.

²⁸ And whether [the mother] is a cow or a ewe, you shall not kill her and her young both in one day.

²⁹ And when you sacrifice an offering of thanksgiving to the Lord, sacrifice it so that you may be accepted.

³⁰ It shall be eaten on the same day; you shall leave none of it until the next day. I am the Lord.

³¹ So shall you heartily accept My commandments and conform your life and conduct to them. I am the Lord.

³² Neither shall you profane My holy name [applying it to an idol, or treating it with irreverence or contempt or as a byword]; but I will be hallowed among the Israelites. I am the Lord, Who consecrates and makes you holy,

³³ Who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God. I am the Lord.

23 The Lord said to Moses,

² Say to the Israelites, The set feasts or appointed seasons of the Lord which you shall proclaim as holy convocations, even My set feasts, are these:

³ Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest, a holy convocation or assembly by summons. You shall do no work on that day; it is the Sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings.

⁴ These are the set feasts or appointed seasons of the Lord, holy convocations you shall proclaim at their stated times:

⁵ On the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight is the Lord’s Passover.

⁶ On the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the Lord; for seven days you shall eat unleavened bread.^(D)

⁷ On the first day you shall have a holy “calling together;” you shall do no servile or laborious work on that day.

⁸ But you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord for seven days; on the seventh day is a holy convocation; you shall do no servile or laborious work on that day.

⁹ And the Lord said to Moses,

¹⁰ Tell the Israelites, When you have come into the land I give you and reap its harvest, you shall bring the sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest.

¹¹ And he shall wave the sheaf before the Lord, that you may be accepted; on the next day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it [before the Lord].

¹² You shall offer on the day when you wave the sheaf a male lamb a year old without blemish for a burnt offering to the Lord.

¹³ Its cereal offering shall be two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to the Lord for a sweet, pleasing, and satisfying fragrance; and the drink offering of it [to be poured out] shall be of wine, a fourth of a hin.

¹⁴ And you shall eat neither bread nor parched grain nor green ears, until this same day when you have brought the offering of your God; it is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your houses.

¹⁵ And you shall count from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering, seven Sabbaths; [seven full weeks] shall they be.

¹⁶ Count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then you shall present a cereal offering of new grain to the Lord.

¹⁷ You shall bring from your dwellings two loaves of bread to be waved, made from two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour; they shall be baked with leaven, for firstfruits to the Lord.

¹⁸ And you shall offer with the bread seven lambs, a year old and without blemish, and one young bull and two rams. They shall be a burnt offering to the Lord, with their cereal offering and their drink offerings, an offering made by fire, of a sweet and satisfying fragrance to the Lord.

¹⁹ Then you shall sacrifice one he-goat for a sin offering and two he-lambs, a year old, for a sacrifice of peace offering.

²⁰ The priest shall wave the two lambs, together with the bread of the firstfruits, for a wave offering before the Lord. They shall be holy to the Lord for the priest.

²¹ You shall make proclamation the same day, summoning a holy assembly; you shall do no servile work that day. It shall be a statute forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.

²² And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, neither shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest; you shall leave them for the poor and the stranger. I am the Lord your God.

²³ And the Lord said to Moses,

²⁴ Say to the Israelites, On the first day of the seventh month [almost October], you shall observe a day of solemn [sabbatical] rest, a memorial day announced by blowing of trumpets, a holy [called] assembly.

²⁵ You shall do no servile work on it, but you shall present an offering made by fire to the Lord.

²⁶ And the Lord said to Moses,

²⁷ Also the tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement; it shall be a holy [called] assembly, and you shall afflict yourselves [by fasting in penitence and humility] and present an offering made by fire to the Lord.

²⁸ And you shall do no work on this day, for it is the Day of Atonement, to make atonement for you before the Lord your God.

²⁹ For whoever is not afflicted [by fasting in penitence and humility] on this day shall be cut off from among his people [that he may not be included in the atonement made for them].

³⁰ And whoever does any work on that same day I will destroy from among his people.

³¹ You shall do no kind of work [on that day]. It is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

³² It shall be to you a sabbath of rest, and you shall afflict yourselves [by fasting in penitence and humility]. On the ninth day of the month from evening to evening you shall keep your sabbath.

³³ And the Lord said to Moses,

³⁴ Say to the Israelites, The fifteenth day of this seventh month, and for seven days, is the Feast of Tabernacles or Booths to the Lord.

³⁵ On the first day shall be a holy convocation; you shall do no servile work on that day.

³⁶ For seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord; on the eighth day shall be a holy convocation and you shall present an offering made by fire to the Lord. It is a solemn assembly; you shall do no laborious work on that day.

³⁷ These are the set feasts or appointed seasons of the Lord, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to present an offering made by fire to the Lord, a burnt offering and a cereal offering, sacrifices and drink offerings, each on its own day.

³⁸ This is in addition to the Sabbaths of the Lord and besides your gifts and all your vowed offerings and all your freewill offerings which you give to the Lord.

³⁹ Also on the fifteenth day of the seventh month [nearly October], when you have gathered in the fruit of the land, you shall keep the feast of the Lord for seven days, the first day and the eighth day each a Sabbath.

⁴⁰ And on the first day you shall take the fruit of pleasing trees [and make booths of them], branches of palm trees, and boughs of thick (leafy) trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God for seven days.

⁴¹ You shall keep it as a feast to the Lord for seven days in the year, a statute forever throughout your generations; you shall keep it in the seventh month.

⁴² You shall dwell in booths (shelters) for seven days: All native Israelites shall dwell in booths,

⁴³ That your generations may know that I made the Israelites dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.

⁴⁴ Thus Moses declared to the Israelites the set or appointed feasts of the Lord.
