M’Cheyne Bible Reading Plan
11 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,
2 Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, These are the animals which ye shall eat among all the animals that are on the earth.
3 Whatever divides the hoof and is clovenfooted and chews the cud, among the animals, that shall you eat.
4 Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of those that chew the cud or of those that divide the hoof: the camel because it chews the cud but divides not the hoof; it is unclean unto you.
5 And the coney because it chews the cud, but divides not the hoof: it is unclean unto you.
6 And the hare because it chews the cud, but divides not the hoof: it is unclean unto you.
7 And the swine though it divides the hoof and is clovenfooted, yet it chews not the cud: it is unclean to you.
8 Of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcase you shall not touch: they are unclean to you.
9 ¶ These shall you eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, those shall you eat.
10 But all that have not fins and scales in the seas and in the rivers, of any reptile in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you;
11 they shall be an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, and ye shall have their carcasses in abomination.
12 Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.
13 And these ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they shall be an abomination: the eagle, the ossifrage, the ospray,
14 the vulture, and the kite according to his species,
15 every raven according to his species,
16 the owl, the night hawk, the cuckow, and the hawk according to his species;
17 the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl,
18 the swan, the pelican, the gier eagle,
19 the stork, the heron according to her species, the lapwing, and the bat.
20 ¶ Every flying insect that creeps, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you.
21 Yet these may ye eat of every flying insect that goes upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap with them upon the earth;
22 these of them ye may eat: the locust according to his species and the bald locust according to his species and the beetle according to his species and the grasshopper according to his species.
23 But all other flying insects, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you.
24 And for these ye shall be unclean: whoever touches their carcase shall be unclean until the evening.
25 And whoever bears any part of their carcase shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.
26 The carcasses of every animal which divides the hoof and is not clovenfooted, nor chews the cud, are unclean unto you; everyone that touches them shall be unclean.
27 And of all the animals that go on all four, any that walk upon their paws are unclean unto you; whoever touches their carcase shall be unclean until the evening.
28 And he that bears their carcase shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening; they are unclean unto you.
29 These also shall be unclean unto you among the animals that creep upon the earth: the weasel and the mouse and the frog according to his species
30 and the ferret and the lizard and the snail and the slug and the mole.
31 These are unclean to you among all the animals; whoever touches them, when they are dead, shall be unclean until the evening.
32 And everything upon which any of them falls when they are dead shall be unclean, whether it be any vessel of wood or clothing or skin or sack, whatever instrument with which work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; and thus it shall be cleansed.
33 And every earthen vessel into which any of them falls, whatever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break the vessel.
34 All food which may be eaten upon which shall come water from any such vessel shall be unclean; and any drink that may be drunk shall be unclean in every such vessel.
35 And everything upon which any part of their carcase falls shall be unclean: the oven or the chimney shall be broken down, for they are unclean and shall be unclean unto you.
36 Nevertheless a fountain or cistern where water is collected shall be clean; but that which touches their carcase shall be unclean.
37 And if any part of their carcase falls upon any sown seed which is sown, it shall be clean.
38 But if any water is put upon the seed and any part of their carcase falls thereon, it shall be unclean unto you.
39 And if any animal of which ye may eat dies, he that touches the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the evening;
40 and he that eats of the carcase of it shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening; likewise he that bears the carcase of it shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.
41 And every reptile that creeps upon the earth is an abomination; it shall not be eaten.
42 Whatever goes upon the belly and whatever goes upon four or more feet among all reptiles that creep upon the earth, ye shall not eat; for it is abomination.
43 ¶ Ye shall not defile your souls with any reptile that creeps, neither shall ye contaminate yourselves with them, that ye should be unclean with them.
44 For I am the LORD your God; ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy; neither shall ye defile your souls with any reptile that moves upon the earth.
45 For I am the LORD that causes you to come up out of the land of Egypt to be your God; ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
46 This is the law of the animals and of the fowls and of every living creature that moves in the waters and of every animal that creeps upon the earth:
47 to make a difference between the unclean and the clean and between the animals that may be eaten and the animals that may not be eaten.
12 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, If a woman has conceived seed and gives birth to a man child, then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her menses shall she be unclean.
3 And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.
4 And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying thirty-three days; she shall touch no holy thing, nor come to the sanctuary until the days of her purifying are fulfilled.
5 But if she gives birth to a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, according to her separation, and she shall be purifying herself for sixty-six days from her blood.
6 ¶ And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled for a son or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt offering and a young pigeon or a turtledove as sin, unto the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, unto the priest,
7 who shall offer it before the LORD and reconcile her, and she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood. This is the law for her that has given birth to a male or a female.
8 And if she is not able to bring a lamb, then she shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons: the one for the burnt offering and the other as sin; and the priest shall reconcile her, and she shall be clean.
To the Overcomer, A Psalm of David.
1 ¶ How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
3 Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes lest I sleep the sleep of death,
4 lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
5 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
6 I will sing unto the LORD because he has dealt bountifully with me.
To the Overcomer, A Psalm of David.
1 ¶ The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is no one that does good.
2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men to see if there were any that did understand and seek God.
3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is no one that does good, no, not one.
4 ¶ The workers of iniquity certainly know this; those who eat up my people as they eat bread and do not call upon the LORD.
5 There they were in great fear: for God is with the nation of the righteous.
6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor because the LORD is his hope.
7 Oh that the saving health of Israel were come out of Zion! When the LORD turns back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
26 ¶ As snow in summer and as rain in harvest, so honour is not suited for a fool.
2 ¶ As the sparrow in its wandering, as the swallow in its flight, so the curse causeless shall never come.
3 ¶ A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool’s back.
4 ¶ Never answer a fool according to his folly lest thou also be like unto him.
5 Answer the fool showing him his folly lest he be wise in his own conceit.
6 ¶ He that gives responsibility to one who is not able to carry it out is like him that sends a message by the hand of a fool, and he shall drink the damage.
7 Like unto the way that the one who is lame walks, so is a proverb in the mouth of the fool.
8 As he that binds the stone in the sling, so is he that gives honour to a fool.
9 As thorns sunk into the hand of one who is drunk, so is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
10 ¶ The great God that formed all things rewards both the fool and transgressors.
11 ¶ As a dog returns to his vomit, so the fool returns to his folly.
12 ¶ Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
13 ¶ The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.
14 ¶ As the door turns upon his hinges, so does the slothful upon his bed.
15 ¶ The slothful hides his hand in his bosom; it grieves him to bring it again to his mouth.
16 ¶ The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can give him counsel.
17 ¶ He that passes by and meddles with strife not belonging to him is like one that takes a dog by the ears.
18 ¶ As a mad man who casts firebrands, arrows, and death,
19 so is the man that destroys his friend and says, Am I not in sport?
20 ¶ Where there is no wood, the fire goes out, so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceases.
21 Charcoal for burning coals and wood for fire, and a contentious man to kindle strife.
22 The words of a talebearer seem smooth, but they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
23 ¶ Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
24 ¶ He that hates dissembles with his lips and lays up deceit within him;
25 when he speaks fair, do not believe him, for there are seven abominations in his heart.
26 Even though his hatred is covered up in the desert, his wickedness shall be showed before the whole congregation.
27 ¶ Whosoever digs a pit shall fall therein, and he that rolls a stone, it will return upon him.
28 ¶ A lying tongue hates those that are afflicted by it, and a flattering mouth works ruin.
5 ¶ But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
2 For ye know well that the day of the Lord shall come as a thief in the night.
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction shall come upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should take you as a thief.
5 Ye are all the sons of light, and the sons of the day; we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6 ¶ Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
7 For those that sleep sleep in the night, and those that are drunken are drunken in the night.
8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and charity, and for a helmet, the hope of saving health.
9 For God has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain saving health by our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 who died for us, that whether we watch or sleep, we should live together with him.
11 ¶ Therefore comfort and edify one another, even as ye do.
12 And we beseech you, brethren, to recognize those who labour among you and preside over you in the Lord and admonish you
13 and that you express greater charity unto them for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves.
14 We also exhort you, brethren, that you warn those that are unruly, comfort the fainthearted, support the weak, be patient with everyone.
15 See that no one renders evil for evil unto anyone, but always follow that which is good, both among yourselves and to all men.
16 ¶ Always rejoice.
17 Pray without ceasing.
18 In every thing give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
19 Quench not the Spirit.
20 Despise not prophecies.
21 Examine all things; retain that which is good.
22 Separate yourselves from all appearance of evil.
23 ¶ And the very God of peace sanctify you completely, that your spirit, soul, and body be preserved whole without reprehension for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
24 Faithful is he that has called you, who will also do it.
25 Brethren, pray for us.
26 Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss.
27 I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren.
28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
