8 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Speak to Aaron, and say to him, ‘When you light the Lamps, the seven Lamps shall give light toward the front of the Candlestick.’”
3 And Aaron did so, lighting its lamps toward the front of the Candlestick, as the LORD had Commanded Moses.
4 And this was the work of the Candlestick, of gold beaten out with the hammer. Both the shaft and its flower were beaten out with the hammer. According to the pattern which the LORD had shown Moses, so he made the Candlestick.
5 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
6 “Take the Levites from among the children of Israel and purify them.
7 “And you shall do this to them when you purify them: sprinkle Water of Purification upon them, and let them shave all their flesh and wash their clothes. So they shall be clean.
8 “Then they shall take a young bullock, with his Meat Offering of fine flour mingled with oil. And you shall take another young bullock for a Sin Offering.
9 “Then you shall bring the Levites before the Tabernacle of the Congregation and assemble all the Congregation of the children of Israel.
10 “You shall also bring the Levites before the LORD. And the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites.
11 “And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD as a Shake Offering of the children of Israel, so that they may execute the service of the LORD.
12 “And the Levites shall put their hands upon the heads of the bullocks, and you shall make one a Sin Offering and the other a Burnt Offering to the LORD, so that you may make an atonement for the Levites.
13 “And you shall set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them as a Shake Offering to the LORD.
14 “Thus you shall separate the Levites from among the children of Israel. And the Levites shall be Mine.
15 “And afterward, the Levites shall go in to serve in the Tabernacle of the Congregation. And you shall purify them and offer them as a Shake Offering.
16 “For they are freely given to Me from among the children of Israel. I have taken to Me all who open any womb, all the firstborn of the children of Israel.
17 “For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are Mine, both of man and beast. Since the day that I struck every firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them for Myself.
18 “And I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn of the children of Israel,
19 “and have given the Levites to Aaron as a gift, and to his sons, from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and to make an atonement for the children of Israel, so that there is no plague among the children of Israel when the children of Israel come near to the Sanctuary.”
20 Then Moses and Aaron and all the Congregation of the children of Israel did with the Levites according to all that the LORD had Commanded Moses concerning the Levites. So did the children of Israel to them.
21 So the Levites were purified and washed their clothes. And Aaron offered them as a Shake Offering before the LORD. And Aaron made an atonement for them, to purify them.
22 And after that, the Levites went in to do their service in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, before Aaron and before his sons. As the LORD had Commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to them.
23 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
24 “This also pertains to the Levites: from twenty-five years old and upward they shall go in to execute their office in the service of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
25 “And after the age of fifty years, they shall cease from executing the office, and shall serve no more.
26 “But they shall minister with their brothers in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, to keep things committed to their charge. But they shall do no service. Thus shall you do to the Levites concerning their charge.”
44 We have heard with our ears, O God. Our fathers have told us the works that You have done in their days, in the old time.
2 You have driven out the heathen with Your hand and planted them. You have destroyed the people and caused them to go.
3 For they did not inherit the land by their own sword (nor did their own arm save them) but by Your right hand, and Your arm, and the light of Your countenance; because You favored them.
4 You are my King, O God! Send help to Jacob!
5 Through You we have thrust back our adversaries. By Your Name we have trodden down those who rose up against us.
6 For I do not trust in my bow; nor can my sword save me.
7 But You have saved us from our adversaries and have put those who hate us to confusion.
8 We will praise God continually and will confess Your Name forever. Selah.
9 But now, You are far off and put us to confusion, and do not go forth with our armies.
10 You make us turn back from the adversary, and those who hate us get plunder for themselves.
11 You give us as sheep to be eaten and scatter us among the nations.
12 You sell Your people without gain, and do not increase their price.
13 You make us a reproach to our neighbors, a jest and laughing stock to those who surround us.
14 You make us a proverb among the nations, and a nodding of the head among the people.
15 My confusion is daily before me and the shame of my face has covered me,
16 because of the voice of the slanderer and rebuker, because of the enemy and avenger.
17 All this has come upon us. Still, we do not forget You. Nor do we deal falsely concerning Your Covenant.
18 Our heart is not turned back, nor have our steps gone out of Your paths;
19 even though You have struck us down into the place of dragons and covered us with the shadow of death.
20 If we have forgotten the Name of our God, and held up our hands to a strange god,
21 shall not God search this out? For He knows the secrets of the heart.
22 Surely, for Your sake we are killed continually and are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
23 Up! Why do You sleep, O LORD? Awake! Be not far off forever.
24 Why do you hide Your face and forget our misery and our affliction?
25 For our soul is beaten down to the dust. Our belly clings to the ground.
26 Rise up for our succor; and redeem us for Your mercy’s sake. To him who excels on Shoshannim: a song of love to give instruction, committed to the sons of Korah.
6 “My well-beloved has gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens and gather lilies.
2 “I am my well-beloved’s. And my well-beloved is mine, who feeds among the lilies.”
3 “You, my love, are beautiful as Tirzah, as comely as Jerusalem, as terrible as an army with banners.
4 “Turn away your eyes from me, for they overcome me. Your hair is like a flock of goats, which look down from Gilead.
5 “Your teeth are like a flock of sheep, which go up from the washing, from which each one brings out twins. And none is barren among them.
6 “Your temples are as a piece of a pomegranate within your locks.
7 “There are sixty queens and eighty concubines and virgins without number.
8 “But my dove is alone. My undefiled, she is the only daughter of her mother, and she is dear to her who bore her. The daughters have seen her and counted her blessed, as have the queens and the concubines, and they have praised her.
9 “Who is she who looks forth as the morning, fair as the moon, pure as the Sun, awesome as an army with banners!
10 “I went down to the garden of nuts, to see the fruits of the valley, to see if the vine budded, and if the pomegranates flourished.
11 “I knew nothing. My soul set me as the chariots of my noble people.
12 “Return! Return, O Shulamite, return! Return so that we may behold you!” “What shall you see in the Shulamite—the dance of two armies, as it were?”
6 Therefore, having left the beginning doctrines of Christ, let us be led forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, faith toward God,
2 the doctrine of baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection from the dead, and eternal judgment.
3 And we will do this if God permits.
4 For it is impossible that those who were once lightened - and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
5 and have tasted of the good Word of God, and of the powers of the world to come -
6 if they should fall away, would be renewed again by repentance (seeing they crucify the Son of God to themselves again, and make a mockery of Him).
7 For the Earth, which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it and brings forth useful herbs for those who till it, receives blessing from God.
8 But that which bears thorns and briars is rejected and near to being cursed (whose end is to be burned).
9 But beloved, even though we speak in this way, we are still persuaded of better things concerning you and things which accompany salvation.
10 For God is not unrighteous, so that He should forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward his Name. In that you have ministered to the saints, and still minister.
11 And we desire that every one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope to the end,
12 so that you are not slothful but followers of those who, through faith and patience, inherit the promises.
13 For when God made the promise to Abraham, He swore by Himself (because He had no greater to swear by),
14 saying, “Surely I will abundantly bless you, and multiply you marvelously.”
15 And so, after he had waited patiently, he enjoyed the promise.
16 For man indeed swears by Him Who is greater. And an oath of confirmation is an end of all strife among them.
17 So God, wanting to more abundantly show the stableness of His counsel to the heirs of promise, bound Himself by an oath.
18 So that by two immutable things (in which it is impossible for God to lie), we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to lay hold upon the hope that is set before us.
19 We have this hope as an anchor of the soul, sure and steadfast, and entering in those places behind the veil
20 where the forerunner, Jesus - Who was made High Priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek - has entered in for us.
