9 And the LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year, after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying,
2 “The children of Israel shall also celebrate the Passover at the time appointed.
3 “On the fourteenth day of this month, at twilight, you shall keep it, in its due season. According to all the Ordinances of it and according to all its ceremonies shall you keep it.”
4 Then Moses spoke to the children of Israel, to celebrate the Passover.
5 And they kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight, in the wilderness of Sinai. According to all that the LORD had Commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.
6 And certain men were defiled by a dead man, so that they might not keep the Passover on the same day. And they came before Moses and before Aaron on the same day.
7 And those men said to him, “We are defiled by a dead man. Why are we kept back so that we may not offer an offering to the LORD in the time appointed among the children of Israel?”
8 Then Moses said to them, “Stand still, and I will hear what the LORD will Command concerning you.”
9 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
10 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say, ‘If any among you, or of your posterity, shall be unclean by the reason of a corpse, or be on a long journey, he shall keep the Passover to the LORD.
11 ‘On the fourteenth day of the second month, at twilight, they shall keep it. They shall eat it with unleavened bread and sour herbs.
12 ‘They shall leave none of it until the morning, nor break any bone of it. According to all the Ordinance of the Passover shall they keep it.
13 ‘But the man who is clean, and is not on a journey, and is negligent to keep the Passover, the same person shall be cut off from his people. Because he did not bring the offering of the LORD in its due season, that man shall bear his sin.
14 ‘And if a stranger dwells among you, and would keep the Passover to the LORD, as the Ordinance of the Passover, and as is its manner, so shall he do. You shall have one Law for both the stranger and for him who was born in the same land.’”
15 And when the Tabernacle was raised up, a cloud covered the Tabernacle—the Tabernacle of the Testimony. And from evening until morning there was the appearance of fire upon the Tabernacle.
16 So it was always. The cloud covered it by day and the appearance of fire by night.
17 And when the cloud was taken up from the Tabernacle, then afterward the children of Israel journeyed. And in the place where the cloud stayed, there the children of Israel pitched their tents.
18 At the Commandment of the LORD the children of Israel journeyed. And at the Commandment of the LORD, they pitched. As long as the cloud stayed upon the Tabernacle, they lay still.
19 And when the cloud lingered upon the Tabernacle a long time, the children of Israel kept the watch of the LORD and did not journey.
20 So when the cloud stayed a few days upon the Tabernacle, they stayed in their tents, according to the Commandment of the LORD. For they journeyed at the Commandment of the LORD.
21 And though the cloud stayed upon the Tabernacle from evening until the morning, if the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed. Whether by day or by night the cloud was taken up, then they journeyed.
22 Or if the cloud lingered two days, or a month, or a year upon the Tabernacle, staying there, the children of Israel stayed still, and did not journey. But when it was taken up, they journeyed.
23 At the Commandment of the LORD they pitched, and at the Commandment of the LORD they journeyed, keeping the watch of the LORD at the Commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
45 My heart stirs with good words. I will speak of my works concerning the King. My tongue is as the pen of a swift writer.
2 You are more beautiful than the children of men. Grace is poured in Your lips because God has blessed You forever.
3 Gird Your sword upon Your Thigh, O Most Mighty, Your worship and Your Glory!
4 And prosper with Your Glory! Ride upon the Word of Truth and of humility and of righteousness. So, Your right Hand shall teach You terrible things.
5 Your arrows are sharp to pierce the heart of the king’s enemies. The people shall fall under You.
6 Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of Your Kingdom is a scepter of righteousness.
7 You love righteousness and hate wickedness, because God, even Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness above Your fellows.
8 All Your garments smell of myrrh and aloes and cassia, of the ivory palaces where they have made You glad.
9 King’s daughters were among Your honorable women. Upon Your right hand stood the queen in a vesture of gold of Ophir.
10 Hear, O daughter, and consider and incline your ear. Also, forget your own people and your father’s house.
11 So shall the King have pleasure in your beauty; for He is your LORD. And reverence Him.
12 And the daughter of Tyre, with the rich of the people, shall do homage before your face with presents.
13 The King’s daughter is all glorious within. Her clothing is of embroidered gold.
14 She shall be brought to the King in clothing of needlework. The virgins who follow after her (her companions) shall be brought to You.
15 With joy and gladness they shall be brought and shall enter into the King’s palace.
16 Your children shall be in place of your fathers. You shall make them princes through all the Earth.
17 I will make Your Name remembered through all generations. Therefore, the people shall give thanks to You. World without end. To him who excels upon Alamoth: a song committed to the sons of Korah.
7 “How beautiful are your feet with sandals, O prince’s daughter! The joints of your thighs are like jewels, the work of a cunning workman’s hand.
2 “Your navel is as a round cup that does not lack liquor. Your belly is as a heap of wheat surrounded with lilies.
3 “Your two breasts are as two twin fawns of a gazelle.
4 “Your neck is like a tower of ivory. Your eyes are like the fish pools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bath Rabbim. Your nose is as the tower of Lebanon that looks toward Damascus.
5 “Your head upon you is like Carmel, and the hair of your head like purple. The king is tied in the rafters.
6 “How fair you are, and how pleasant you are, O my love, in pleasures!
7 “This, your stature is like a palm tree, and your breasts like clusters.
8 “I said, ‘I will go up into the palm tree. I will take hold of her branches.’ Your breasts shall now be like the clusters of the vine, and the savor of your nose like apples,
9 “and the roof of your mouth like good wine, “which goes straight to my well-beloved and causes the lips of the ancient to speak.
10 “I am my well-beloved’s. And his desire is toward me.
11 “Come, my well-beloved, let us go forth into the field. Let us remain in the villages.
12 “Let us get up early to the vines. Let us see if the vine flourishes, whether it has budded the small grapes, or where the pomegranates flourish. There I will give you my love.
13 “The mandrakes have given a smell. And in our gates are all sweet things, new and old. My well-beloved, I have kept them for you.”
7 For this Melchizedek - King of Salem, priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham as he returned from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,
2 and to whom Abraham also gave a tithe of all things - is by first interpretation “King of Righteousness”, and after that “King of Salem” (that is, “King of Peace”);
3 without father or mother or family, having neither beginning of days nor end of life. But he is likened to the Son of God and continues as a priest forever.
4 Now consider how great this man was to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave a tithe of the spoils.
5 For indeed those who are the children of Levi (who receive the office of the priesthood) have a Commandment to take tithes from the people according to the Law (that is, from their brothers), though they came out of the loins of Abraham.
6 But the one whose family is not counted among them received tithes from Abraham, and blessed him who had the promises.
7 And without any dispute, the less is blessed by the greater.
8 And here, men who die receive tithes. But there, he who lives (about Whom it is witnessed).
9 And truth be told, Levi (who receives tithes) also paid tithes to Abraham.
10 For he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.
11 Therefore, if perfection had been by the priesthood of the Levites (for under it the people received the Law) what further need was there for another priest to rise after the order of Melchizedek, and not to be called after the order of Aaron?
12 For if the priesthood is changed, then the Law must be changed.
13 For He of Whom these things are spoken belongs to another tribe, from which no man served at the altar.
14 For it is evident that our Lord sprung out of Judah, about which tribe Moses spoke nothing regarding the priesthood.
15 And it is even more evident because there has risen up another priest in the likeness of Melchizedek,
16 Who is made priest not after the Law of carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
17 For He testifies, “You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.”
18 For indeed the preceding commandment is annulled because of its weakness and uselessness.
19 For the Law made nothing perfect, but rather the introduction of a better hope (by which we draw near to God).
20 And inasmuch as it is not without an oath (for these priests are made without an oath,
21 but this One was made with an oath by Him Who said to Him, “The Lord has sworn, and will not repent. You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.”)
22 By so much has Jesus made a surety of a better Testament.
23 And many were made priests among them, because they were not allowed to endure by the reason of death.
24 But this Man, because He endures forever, has an unchangeable priesthood.
25 Therefore, He is also able to perfectly save those who come to God through Him (seeing He forever lives to make intercession for them).
26 For it was fitting for us to have such a High Priest: holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
27 Who does not need to offer up daily sacrifices (first for His own sins, and then for the people’s) as those High Priests. For He did that once and for all when He offered up Himself.
28 For the Law makes men (who have weakness) High Priests. But the Word of the oath (which came after the Law) makes the Son, Who is consecrated for evermore.
