Old/New Testament
6 6 The offering for sins which are done willingly. 9 The law of the burnt offerings. 13 The fire must abide evermore upon the altar. 14 The law of the meat offering. 20 The offerings of Aaron, and his sons.
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 If any sin and commit a trespass against the Lord, and deny unto his neighbor that which was taken him to keep, or that which was put to him[a]of trust, or doth by [b]robbery, or by violence oppress his neighbor,
3 Or hath found that which was lost, and denieth it, and sweareth falsely, (A)for any of these things that a man doeth, wherein he [c]sinneth:
4 When, I say, he thus sinneth and trespasseth, he shall then restore the robbery that he robbed, or the thing taken by violence which he took by force, or the thing which was delivered him to keep, or the lost thing which he found,
5 Or for whatsoever he hath sworn falsely, he shall both restore it in the whole (B)sum, and shall add the fifth part more thereto, and give it unto him to whom it pertaineth, the same day that he offereth for his trespass.
6 Also he shall bring for his trespass unto the Lord, a ram without blemish out of the (C)flock in thy estimation worth two shekels for a trespass offering unto the Priest.
7 And the Priest shall make an atonement for him before the Lord, and it shall be forgiven him, whatsoever thing he hath done, and trespassed therein.
8 ¶ Then the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
9 Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the [d]law of the burnt offering, (it is the burnt offering because it burneth upon the altar all the night unto the morning, and the fire burneth on the altar).
10 And the Priest shall put on his linen garment, and shall put on his linen breeches upon [e]his flesh, and take away the ashes when the fire hath consumed the burnt offering upon the altar, and he shall put them beside the [f]altar.
11 After, he shall put off his garments, and put on other raiment, and carry the ashes forth without the host unto a clean place.
12 But the fire upon the altar shall burn thereon and never be put out: wherefore the Priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order upon it, and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace offerings.
13 The fire shall ever burn upon the altar, and never go out.
14 ¶ (D)Also this is the law of the meat offering, which Aaron’s sons shall offer in the presence of the Lord, before the altar.
15 He shall even take thence his handful of fine flour of the meat offering and of the oil, and all the incense which is upon the meat offering, and shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savor, as a (E)memorial therefore unto the Lord:
16 But the rest thereof shall Aaron and his sons eat: it shall be eaten without leaven in the holy place: in the court of the Tabernacle of the Congregation they shall eat it.
17 It shall not be [g]baked with leaven: I have given it for their portion of mine offering made by fire: for it is as the sin offering, and as the trespass offering.
18 All the males among the children of Aaron shall eat of it: It shall be a statute forever in your generations concerning the offerings of the Lord made by fire: (F)whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy:
19 ¶ Again the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
20 This is the offering of Aaron and his sons, which they shall offer unto the Lord in the day when he is anointed: the tenth part of an (G)Ephah of fine flour, for a meat offering [h]perpetual: half of it in the morning, and half thereof at night.
21 In the frying pan it shall be made with oil: thou shalt bring it fried, and shalt offer the [i]baked pieces of the meat offering for a sweet savor unto the Lord.
22 And the Priest that is [j]anointed in his stead, among his sons shall offer it: It is the Lord’s ordinance forever, it shall be burnt altogether.
23 For every meat offering of the Priest shall be burnt altogether, it shall not be eaten.
24 ¶ Furthermore, the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
25 Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and say, This is the Law of the sin offering, In the place where the burnt offering is killed, shall the sin offering be killed before the Lord, for it is most holy.
26 The Priest that offereth this sin offering, shall eat it: in the holy place shall it be eaten, in the court of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
27 Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof shall be holy: and when there droppeth of the blood thereof upon a [k]garment, thou shalt wash that whereon it droppeth in the holy place.
28 Also the earthen pot that it is sodden in, shall be broken, but if it be sodden in a brazen pot, it shall both be scoured and washed with [l]water.
29 All the males among the Priests shall eat thereof, for it is most holy.
30 (H)But no sin offering, whose blood is brought into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, to make reconciliation in the holy place, shall be eaten, but shall be burnt with [m]fire.
7 1 The law of the trespass offering. 11 Also of the peace offering. 23 The fat and the blood may not be eaten.
1 Likewise this is the law of the [n]trespass offering, it is most holy.
2 In the place [o]where they kill the burnt offering, shall they kill the trespass offering, and the blood thereof shall he sprinkle round about upon the altar.
3 All the fat thereof also shall [p]he offer, the rump, and the fat that covered the inwards.
4 After, he shall take away the two kidneys, with the fat that is on them and upon the flanks, and the caul on the liver with the kidneys.
5 Then the Priest shall burn them upon the altar, for an offering made by fire unto the Lord: this is a trespass offering.
6 All the males among the Priests shall eat thereof, it shall be eaten in the holy place for it is most holy.
7 As the sin offering is, so is the trespass offering, one [q]law serveth for both: [r]that wherewith the Priest shall make atonement, shall be his.
8 Also the Priest that offereth any man’s burnt offering, shall have the skin of the burnt offering which he hath offered.
9 And all the meat offering that is baked in the oven, and that is dressed in the pan, and in the frying pan, shall be the Priest’s that offereth it.
10 And every meat offering mingled with oil, and that is [s]dry, shall pertain unto all the sons of Aaron, to all alike.
11 Furthermore, this is the law of the peace offerings, which he shall offer unto the Lord.
12 If he offer it to [t]give thanks, then he shall offer for his thanks offering, unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and fine flour fried with the cakes mingled with oil.
13 He shall offer also his offering with cakes of leavened bread, for his peace offerings, to give thanks.
14 And of all the sacrifice he shall offer one cake for an heave offering unto the Lord, and it shall be the Priest’s that sprinkled the blood of the peace offerings.
15 Also the flesh of the peace offerings, for thanksgiving, shall be eaten the same day that it is offered: he shall leave nothing thereof until the morning.
16 But if the sacrifice of his offering be a [u]vow, or a free offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he offereth his sacrifice: and so in the morning the residue thereof shall be eaten.
17 But as much of the offered flesh as remaineth unto the third day, shall be burnt with fire.
18 For if any of the flesh of his peace offerings be eaten in the third day, he shall not be accepted that offereth it, neither shall it be reckoned unto him, but shall be an abomination: therefore the person that eateth of it shall [v]bear his iniquity.
19 The flesh also that toucheth any unclean [w]thing, shall not be eaten, but burnt with fire: but [x]of this flesh all that be clean shall eat thereof.
20 But if any eat of the flesh of the peace offerings that pertaineth to the Lord, having his (I)uncleanness upon him, even the same person shall be cut off from his people.
21 Moreover, when any toucheth any unclean thing, as the uncleanness of man, or of an unclean beast, or of any filthy abomination, and eat of the flesh of the peace offerings, which pertaineth unto the Lord, even that person shall be cut off from his people.
22 ¶ Again the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
23 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say, (J)Ye shall eat no fat of beeves, nor of sheep, nor of goats.
24 Yet the fat of the dead beast, and the fat of that, which is torn with beasts, shall be occupied to any use, but ye shall not eat of it.
25 For whosoever eateth the fat of the beast, of the which ye shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord, even the person that eateth, shall be cut off from his people.
26 Neither (K)shall ye eat any blood, either of fowl, or of beast in all your dwellings.
27 Every person that eateth any blood, even the same person shall be cut off from his people.
28 ¶ And the Lord talked with Moses, saying,
29 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say, He that offereth his peace offerings unto the Lord, shall bring his gift unto the Lord of his peace offerings.
30 His [y]hands shall bring the offerings of the Lord made by fire: even the fat with the breast shall he bring, that the breast may be (L)shaken to and fro before the Lord.
31 Then the Priest shall burn the fat upon the Altar, and the breast shall be Aaron’s and his sons’.
32 And the right shoulder shall ye give unto the Priest for an heave offering, of your peace offerings.
33 The same that offereth the blood of the peace offerings, and the fat among the sons of Aaron, shall have the right shoulder for his part.
34 For the breast shaken to and fro, and the shoulder lifted up, have I taken of the children of Israel, even of their peace offerings, and have given them unto Aaron the Priest and unto his sons by a statute forever from among the children of Israel.
35 ¶ This is the [z]anointing of Aaron, and the anointing of his sons, concerning the offerings of the Lord made by fire, in the day when he presented them to serve in the Priest’s office unto the Lord.
36 The which portions the Lord commanded to give them in the day that he anointed them from among the children of Israel, by a statute forever in their generations.
37 This is also the law of the burnt offering, of the meat offering, and of the sin offering, and of the trespass offering, and of the [aa]consecrations, and of the peace offerings,
38 Which the Lord commanded Moses in the mount Sinai, when he commanded the children of Israel to offer their gifts unto the Lord in the wilderness of Sinai.
25 1 The virgins looking for the Bridegroom. 13 We must watch. 14 The talents delivered unto the servants. 24 The evil servants. 30 After what sort the last judgment shall be. 41 The cursed.
1 Then [a]the kingdom of heaven shall be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and [b]went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 And five of them were wise, and five foolish.
3 The foolish took their lamps, but took no oil with them.
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 Now while the bridegroom tarried long, all [c]slumbered and slept.
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh: go out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said to the wise, Give us of your oil, for our lamps are out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so, lest there will not be enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came: and they that were ready, went in with him to the wedding, and the gate was shut.
11 Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 But he answered, and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13 (A)Watch therefore: for ye know neither the day, nor the hour, when the son of man will come.
14 (B)[d]For the kingdom of heaven is as a man that going into a strange country, called his servants, and delivered to them his goods.
15 And unto one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to every man after his own [e]ability, and straightway went from home.
16 Then he that had received the five talents, went and occupied with them, and gained other five talents.
17 Likewise also he that received two, he also gained other two.
18 But he that received that one, went and dug it in the earth, and hid his master’s money.
19 But after a long season, the master of those servants came, and reckoned with them.
20 Then came he that had received five talents, and brought other five talents, saying, Master, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained with them other five talents.
21 Then his master said unto him, It is well done good servant and faithful, Thou hast been faithful in little, I will make thee ruler over much: [f]enter into thy master’s joy.
22 Also he that had received two talents, came, and said, Master, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents more.
23 His master said unto him, It is well done good servant, and faithful, Thou hast been faithful in little, I will make thee ruler over much: enter into thy master’s joy.
24 Then he that had received the one talent, came, and said, Master, I knew that thou wast an hard man, which reapest where thou sowedst not, and gatherest where thou strawedst not:
25 I was therefore afraid, and went, and hid thy talent in the earth: behold, thou hast thine own.
26 And his master answered, and said unto him, Thou evil servant, and slothful, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I strawed not.
27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the [g]exchangers, and then at my coming should I have received mine own with vantage.
28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
29 (C)For unto every man that hath, it shall be given, and he shall have abundance, and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away.
30 Cast therefore that unprofitable servant into utter (D)darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
