Old/New Testament
29 1 The manner of consecrating the Priests. 38 The continual sacrifice. 45 The Lord promiseth to dwell among the children of Israel.
1 This thing also shalt thou do unto them, when thou consecratest them to be my Priests, (A)Take a young calf, and two rams without blemish,
2 And unleavened bread, and cakes unleavened tempered with oil, and wafers unleavened anointed with oil: (of fine wheat flour shalt thou make them).
3 Then thou shalt put them in one basket, and [a]present them in the basket with the calf and the two rams,
4 And shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and wash them with water.
5 Also thou shalt take the garments, and put upon Aaron the tunicle, and the [b]robe of the Ephod, and the Ephod, and the breastplate, and shalt close them to him with the broidered girdle of the Ephod.
6 Then thou shalt put the mitre upon his head, and shalt put the holy (B)crown upon the mitre.
7 And thou shalt take the anointing (C)oil, and shalt pour upon his head and anoint him.
8 And thou shalt bring his sons, and put coats upon them.
9 And shalt gird them with girdles, both Aaron and his sons: and shalt put the bonnets on them, and the Priest’s office shall be theirs for a perpetual law: thou (D)shalt also [c]fill the hands of Aaron, and the hands of his sons.
10 After, thou shalt present the calf before the Tabernacle of the congregation, (E)and Aaron and his sons shall [d]put their hands upon the head of the calf.
11 So shalt thou kill the calf before the Lord, at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
12 Then thou shalt take of the blood of the calf, and put it upon the horns of the Altar with thy finger, and shalt pour all the rest of the blood at the foot of the Altar.
13 (F)Also thou shalt take all the fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul, that is on the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and shalt burn them upon the Altar.
14 But the flesh of the calf, and his skin, and his dung shalt thou burn with fire without the host: it is a [e]sin offering.
15 ¶ Thou shalt also take one ram, and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.
16 Then thou shalt kill the ram, and take his blood, and sprinkle it round about upon the Altar,
17 And thou shalt cut the ram in pieces, and wash the inwards of him and his legs, and shalt put them upon the pieces thereof, and upon his head.
18 So thou shalt burn the whole ram upon the Altar: for it is a burnt offering unto the Lord [f]for a sweet savor: it is an offering made by fire unto the Lord.
19 And shalt thou take the other ram, and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.
20 Then shalt thou kill the ram, and take of his blood, and put it [g]upon the lap of Aaron’s ear, and upon the lap of the right ear of his sons, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot, and shalt sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.
21 And thou shalt take of the blood that is [h]upon the Altar, and of the anointing oil, and shalt sprinkle it upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon the garments of his sons with him: so he shall be hallowed, and his clothes, and his sons, and the garments of his sons with him.
22 Also thou shalt take of the rams the fat and the rump, even the fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and the right shoulder, (for it is the [i]ram of consecration).
23 And one loaf of bread, and one cake of bread tempered with oil, and one wafer, out of the basket of the unleavened bread that is before the Lord:
24 And thou shalt put all this in the hands of Aaron, and in the hands of his sons, and shalt shake them to and fro before the Lord.
25 Again, thou shalt receive them of their hands, and burn them upon the altar besides the burnt offering for a sweet savor before the Lord: for this is an offering made by fire unto the Lord.
26 Likewise thou shalt take the breast of the ram of the consecration, which is for Aaron, and shalt shake it to [j]and fro before the Lord, and it shall be thy part.
27 And thou shalt sanctify the breast of the shaken offering, and the shoulder of the [k]heave offering, which was shaken to and fro, and which was heaved up of the ram of the consecration which was for Aaron, and which was for his sons.
28 And Aaron and his sons shall have it by a statute forever, of the children of Israel: for it is an heave offering, and it shall be an heave offering of the children of Israel, of their [l]peace offerings, even their heave offering to the Lord.
29 ¶ And the holy garments which appertain to Aaron, shall be his sons’ after him, to be anointed therein, and to be consecrated therein.
30 That son that shall be Priest in his stead, shall put them on seven days, when he cometh into the Tabernacle of the Congregation to minister in the holy place.
31 ¶ So thou shalt take the ram of the consecration, and seethe his flesh in the holy place.
32 (G)And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket, at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
33 So they shall eat these things, [m]whereby their atonement was made, to consecrate them, and to sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat thereof, because they are holy things.
34 Now if ought of the flesh of the consecration, or of the bread remain unto the morning, then thou shalt burn the rest with fire: it shall not be eaten, because it is an holy thing.
35 Therefore shalt thou do thus unto Aaron and unto his sons, according to all things which I have commanded thee: seven days shalt thou [n]consecrate them.
36 And shalt offer every day a calf for a sin offering, for [o]reconciliation: and thou shalt cleanse the Altar, when thou hast offered upon it for reconciliation, and shalt anoint it to sanctify it.
37 Seven days shalt thou cleanse the Altar and sanctify it, so the Altar shall be most holy: and whatsoever toucheth the Altar, shall be holy.
38 ¶ (H)Now this is that which thou shalt present upon the altar: even two lambs of one year old, day by day continually.
39 The one lamb thou shalt present in the morning, and the other lamb thou shalt present at even.
40 And with the one lamb, a [p]tenth part of fine flour mingled with the fourth part of an [q]Hin of beaten oil, and the fourth part of an Hin of wine for a drink offering.
41 And the other lamb thou shalt present at even: thou shalt do thereto according to the offering of the morning, and according to the drink offering thereof, to be a burnt offering for a sweet savor unto the Lord.
42 This shall be a continually burnt offering in your generations at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation before the Lord, where I will [r]make appointment with you, to speak there unto thee.
43 There I will appoint with the children of Israel, and the place shall be sanctified by my [s]glory.
44 And I will sanctify the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the Altar: I will sanctify also Aaron and his sons to be my Priests,
45 And I will (I)dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God.
46 Then shall they know that I am the Lord their God, that brought them out of the land of Egypt, that I might dwell among them: [t]I am the Lord their God.
30 The Altar of incense. 13 The sum that the Israelites should pay to the Tabernacle. 28 The brazen laver. 33 The anointing oil. 34 The making of the perfume.
1 Furthermore thou shalt make an Altar [u]for sweet perfume, of Shittim wood thou shalt make it.
2 The length thereof a cubit, and the breadth thereof a cubit, (it shall be foursquare) and the height thereof two cubits: the horns thereof shall be [v]of the same.
3 And thou shalt overlay it with fine gold, both the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and his horns: also thou shalt make unto it [w]a crown of gold round about.
4 Besides this thou shalt make under this crown two golden rings on either side: even on every side shalt thou make them, that they may be as places for the bars to bear it withal.
5 The which bars thou shalt make of Shittim wood, and shalt cover them with gold.
6 After thou shalt set it [x]before the veil, that is near the Ark of the Testimony, before the Mercy seat that is upon the Testimony, where I will appoint with thee.
7 And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet incense every morning: when he [y]dresseth the lamps thereof, shall he burn it.
8 Likewise at even, when Aaron setteth up the lamps thereof, he shall burn incense: this perfume shall be perpetually before the Lord, throughout your generations.
9 Ye shall offer no [z]strange incense thereon, nor burnt sacrifice, nor offering, neither pour any drink offering [aa]thereon.
10 And Aaron shall make reconciliation upon the horns of it once in a year with the blood of the sin offering in the day of reconciliation: once in the year shall he make reconciliation upon it throughout your generations: this is most holy unto the Lord.
11 ¶ Afterward the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
12 (J)When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel after their number, then they shall give every man [ab]a redemption of his life unto the Lord, when thou tellest them, that there be no plague among them when thou countest them.
13 This shall every man give, that goeth into the number, half a shekel, after the [ac]shekel of the Sanctuary: ((K)a shekel is twenty gerahs) the half shekel shall be an offering to the Lord.
14 All that are numbered from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering to the Lord.
15 The rich shall not pass, and the poor shall not diminish from half a shekel, when ye shall give an offering unto the Lord, [ad]for the redemption of your lives.
16 So thou shalt take the money of the redemption of the children of Israel, and shalt put it unto the use of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, that it may be a memorial unto the children of Israel before the Lord, for the redemption of your lives.
17 ¶ Also the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
18 Thou shalt also make a Laver of brass, and his foot of brass to wash, and shalt put it between the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the Altar, and shalt put water therein.
19 For Aaron and his sons shall [ae]wash their hands, and their feet thereat.
20 When they go into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, or when they go unto the Altar to minister, and to make the perfume of the burnt offering to the Lord, they shall wash themselves with water, lest they die.
21 So they shall wash their hands and their feet that they die not: and this shall be to them an ordinance [af]forever, both unto him and to his seed throughout their generations.
22 ¶ Also the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
23 Take thou also unto thee principal spices: of the most pure myrrh five hundred [ag]shekels, of sweet cinnamon half so much, that is, two hundred and fifty, and of sweet [ah]calamus, two hundred, and fifty:
24 Also of Cassia five hundred, after the shekel of the Sanctuary, and of oil olive an (L)Hin.
25 So thou shalt make of it the oil of holy ointment, even a most precious ointment after the art of the Apothecary: this shall be the oil of holy ointment.
26 And thou shalt anoint the [ai]Tabernacle of the Congregation therewith, and the Ark of the Testimony:
27 Also the Table, and all the instruments thereof, and the Candlestick, with all the instruments thereof, and the altar of incense:
28 Also the altar of burnt offering with all his instruments, and the laver and his foot.
29 So thou shalt sanctify them, and they shall be most holy: all that shall touch them, shall be holy.
30 Thou shalt also anoint Aaron and his sons, and shalt consecrate them, that they may minister unto me in the Priest’s office.
31 Moreover thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, This shall be an holy anointing oil unto me, throughout your generations.
32 None shall anoint [aj]man’s flesh therewith, neither shall ye make any composition like unto it: for it is holy, and shall be holy unto you.
33 Whosoever shall make the like ointment, or whosoever shall put any of it upon [ak]a stranger, even he shall be cut off from his people.
34 And the Lord said unto Moses, Take unto thee these spices, pure myrrh and [al]clear gum and galbanum, these odors with pure frankincense of each like weight:
35 Then thou shalt make of them perfume composed after the art of the apothecary, mingled together, pure and holy.
36 And thou shalt beat it to powder, and shalt put it before the Ark of the Testimony in the tabernacle of the congregation, where I will make appointment with thee: it shall be unto you most holy.
37 And ye shall not make unto you any composition like this perfume, which thou shalt make: it shall be unto thee holy for the [am]Lord.
38 Whosoever shall make like unto that to smell thereto, even he shall be cut off from his people.
23 ¶ (A)[a]And when he was come into the Temple, the chief Priests, and the Elders of the people came unto him, as he was teaching, and said, By what [b]authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?
24 Then Jesus answered, and said unto them, I also will ask of you [c]a certain thing, which if ye tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
25 The [d]baptism of John, whence was it? from [e]heaven, or of men? Then they [f]reasoned among themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven, he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?
26 And if we say, Of men, we fear the multitude, (B)for all hold John as a Prophet.
27 Then they answered Jesus, and said, We can not tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
28 ¶ [g]But what think ye? A certain man had two sons, and came to the elder, and said, Son, go and work today in my vineyard.
29 But he answered, and said, I will not: yet afterward he repented himself, and went.
30 Then came he to the second, and said likewise. And he answered, and said, I will, Sir: yet he went not.
31 Whether of them twain did the will of the father? They said unto him, The first. Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, that the Publicans and the harlots [h]go before you into the kingdom of God.
32 For John came unto you in the [i]way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the Publicans and the harlots believed him, and ye though ye saw it, were not moved with repentance afterward, that ye might believe him.
33 ¶ [j]Hear another parable, There was a certain householder, (C)which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and made a winepress therein, and [k]built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a strange country.
34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen to receive the fruits thereof.
35 And the husbandmen took his servants and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
36 Again he sent other servants, more than the first: and they did the like unto them.
37 But last of all he sent unto them his own son, saying, They will reverence my son.
38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, (D)This is the heir: come, let us kill him, and let us [l]take his inheritance.
39 So they took him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
40 When therefore the Lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do to those husbandmen?
41 They said unto him, He will [m]cruelly destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall deliver him the fruits in their seasons.
42 Jesus said unto them, Read ye never in the Scriptures, (E)The stone which the [n]builders refused, the same is [o]made the [p]head of the corner? [q]This was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes.
43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and shall be given to a nation, which shall bring forth the [r]fruits thereof.
44 (F)And whosoever shall fall on this stone, he shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will [s]dash him in pieces.
45 And when the chief Priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.
46 [t]And they seeking to lay hands on him, feared the people, because they took him as a Prophet.
