Old/New Testament
29 You shall also do this thing to them when you consecrate them to be My Priests: Take a young calf and two rams, without blemish,
2 “and unleavened bread, and unleavened cakes (tempered with oil), and unleavened wafers (made from fine wheat flour and anointed with oil).
3 “Then you shall put them in one basket, and present them in the basket with the calf and the two rams,
4 “and shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation and wash them with water.
5 “Also, you shall take the garments and put the tunic upon Aaron, and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate; and you shall fasten them to him with the ingenious band of the ephod.
6 “Then you shall put the turban upon his head and shall put the holy crown upon the turban.
7 “And you shall take the anointing oil and shall pour it upon his head and anoint him.
8 “And you shall bring his sons and put coats upon them,
9 “and shall bind them with sashes, Aaron and his sons, and shall put the hats on them. And the Priest’s office shall be theirs for a perpetual Law. So you shall consecrate Aaron and his sons.
10 “Afterward, you shall present the calf before the Tabernacle of the Congregation; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the calf.
11 “So shall you kill the calf before the LORD, at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
12 “Then you shall take from the blood of the calf and put it upon the horns of the Altar with your finger and shall pour all of the blood out at the foot of the Altar.
13 “Also, you shall take all the fat that covers the entrails, and the lobe upon the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and shall burn them upon the Altar.
14 “But the flesh of the calf, and its skin, and its dung you shall burn with fire outside the camp. It is a sin offering.
15 “You shall also take one ram. And Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.
16 “Then you shall kill the ram and take its blood, and sprinkle it all around, upon the Altar,
17 “And you shall cut the ram in pieces, and wash its entrails and its legs, and shall put them upon its pieces, and upon its head.
18 “So you shall burn the whole ram upon the Altar. It is a burnt offering, for a sweet savor to the LORD. It is an offering made to the LORD by fire.
19 “And you shall take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.
20 “Then you shall kill the ram and take from its blood and put it upon the tip of Aaron’s ear, and upon the tip 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 you shall sprinkle the blood upon the Altar, all around.
21 “And you shall take from the blood that is upon the Altar, and from the anointing oil, and shall sprinkle it upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon the garments of his sons with him. So shall he be sanctified, and his clothes, and his sons, and the garments of his sons with him.
22 “Also, you shall take the fat and the rump from the rams, even the fat that covers the entrails, and the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and the right shoulder (for it is the 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 you shall put all this in the hands of Aaron, and in the hands of his sons, and shall wave them as a wave offering before the LORD.
25 “You shall receive them back from their hands and burn them upon the Altar as a burnt offering, for a sweet savor before the LORD. This is an offering made by fire to the LORD.
26 “Likewise, you shall take the breast of the ram of the consecration which is for Aaron, and shall wave it as a wave offering before the LORD. And it shall be your portion.
27 “And you shall sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the shoulder of the heave offering which was waved, and which was raised up from 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 a heave offering; and it shall be a heave offering of the children of Israel (from their peace offerings), their heave offering to the LORD.
29 “And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons’ after him, to be anointed therein, and to be consecrated therein.
30 “That son who shall become Priest in his place, shall put them on for seven days, whenever he comes into the Tabernacle of the Congregation to minister in the Holy Place.
31 “And you shall take the ram of the consecration and boil his flesh in the Holy Place.
32 “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 “They shall eat these things by which their atonement was made, to consecrate them, and to sanctify them. But a stranger shall not eat of them, because they are holy things.
34 “Now if nothing of the flesh of the consecration, or of the bread, remains until the morning, then you shall burn the rest with fire. It shall not be eaten, because it is a holy thing.
35 “You shall do to Aaron and to his sons according to all things which I have commanded you. You shall consecrate them for seven days.
36 “And every day you shall offer a calf for a sin offering, for reconciliation. And you shall cleanse the Altar after you have offered upon it for reconciliation, and shall anoint it, to sanctify it.
37 “Seven days shall you cleanse the Altar and sanctify it, so that the Altar shall be most holy. Whatever touches the Altar, must be holy.
38 “Now this is that which you shall present upon the altar: two lambs of one year old, day by day, continually.
39 “You shall present one lamb in the morning, and the other lamb you shall present at twilight.
40 “And with one lamb, mingle one tenth of an ephah of fine flour with one fourth of a hin of beaten oil and one fourth of a hin of wine, for a drink offering.
41 “And the other lamb you shall present at twilight. You shall do so according to the offering of the morning and according to the drink offering, to be a burnt offering, for a sweet savor to 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 meet with you, to speak to you.
43 “There I will meet with the children of Israel, and the place shall be sanctified by My Glory.
44 “And I will sanctify the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the Altar. I will also sanctify Aaron and his sons, to be My Priests,
45 “And I will dwell among the children of Israel and will be their God.
46 “Then they shall know that I am the LORD their God, Who brought them out of the land of Egypt, so that I might dwell among them. I am the LORD their God.
30 Furthermore, you shall make an Altar for sweet incense. You shall make it of shittim wood,
2 “a cubit in length, and a cubit in width (it shall be square) and two cubits in height. Its horns shall be from the same piece.
3 “And you shall overlay it with fine gold, on the top and on the sides, all around, and its horns. Also, you shall make a border of gold all around.
4 “Besides this, you shall make two golden rings under this border, on either side. You shall make them on every side, so that they may be as places for the poles to bear it.
5 “You shall make the poles of shittim wood and shall cover them with gold.
6 “Afterward, you shall set it before the veil that is near the Ark of the Testimony, before the Mercy Seat that is upon the Testimony, where I will meet with you.
7 “And Aaron shall burn sweet incense on it every morning. When he tends his lamps, he shall burn it.
8 “Likewise at twilight, when Aaron sets up his lamps, he shall burn incense. This perfume shall be perpetually before the LORD, throughout your generations.
9 “You shall offer no strange incense on it, nor burnt sacrifice, nor offering, nor pour any drink offering on it.
10 “And Aaron shall make reconciliation upon the horns of it once in a year with the blood of the sin offering, on the Day of Reconciliation. Once a year, he shall make reconciliation upon it, throughout your generations. This is Most Holy to the LORD.”
11 Then, the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
12 “When you take the census of the children of Israel, after their number, then every man shall give a ransom for his life to the LORD when numbered, so that there is no plague among them when you count them.
13 “Every man who goes into the number shall give this: half a shekel, after the shekel of the Sanctuary (a shekel is twenty gerahs). The half- shekel shall be an offering to the LORD.
14 “All who are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering to the LORD.
15 “The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than half a shekel, when you shall give an offering to the LORD for the redemption of your lives.
16 “So you shall take the money of the redemption of the children of Israel and shall put it to the use of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, so that it may be a memorial to the children of Israel before the LORD, for the redemption of your lives.”
17 Also, the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
18 “You shall also make a Basin of copper (and its pedestal of copper), to wash, and shall put it between the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the Altar. And you shall put water in it.
19 “For Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet there.
20 “When they go into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, or when they go to the Altar to minister, to make the perfume from the burnt offering to the LORD, they shall wash themselves with water, lest they die.
21 “They shall wash their hands and their feet, so that they do not die. And this shall be to them an ordinance, forever, to him and to his seed, throughout their generations.”
22 Also, the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
23 “Take the best spices for yourself: five hundred shekels of the most pure myrrh, half that much of sweet cinnamon (two hundred-fifty), two hundred-fifty of sweet calamus,
24 “five hundred of cassia (according to the shekel of the Sanctuary), and a hin of olive oil.
25 “And you shall make the oil of holy ointment from it, a most precious ointment after the art of the perfumer. This shall be the oil of holy ointment.
26 “And you shall anoint the Tabernacle of the Congregation with it, and the Ark of the Testimony,
27 “the Table and all its instruments, the Lampstand with all its instruments, the altar of incense,
28 “the altar of burnt offering with all its instruments, and the basin and its pedestal.
29 “So you shall sanctify them; and they shall be Most Holy. All that shall touch them, must be holy.
30 “You shall also anoint Aaron and his sons, and shall consecrate them, so that they may minister to Me in the Priest’s office.
31 “Moreover, you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘This shall be a holy anointing oil to Me, throughout your generations.
32 “No one shall anoint man’s flesh with it, nor shall you make any composition like it. It is Holy and shall be holy to you.
33 “Whoever shall make such an ointment, or whoever shall put any of it on a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.’”
34 And the LORD said to Moses, “Take sweet spices for yourself—pure myrrh and stacte and galbanum and odors with pure frankincense—each of equal weight.
35 “Then you shall make incense from them, composed after the art of the perfumer, mingled together, pure, holy.
36 “And you shall beat it to powder, and shall put it before the Testimony, in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, where I will meet with you. It shall be Most Holy to you.
37 “And you shall not make any composition for yourself like this incense which you shall make. It shall be holy to you, for the LORD.
38 “Whoever shall make any incense like it, he shall be cut off from his people.”
23 And when He had come into the Temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to Him as He was teaching, and said, “By what authority do You do these things? And who gave You this authority?”
24 Then Jesus answered, and said to them, “I will also ask of you a certain thing which, if you tell me, I will likewise tell you by what authority I do these things.
25 “The baptism of John. From where did it come - from Heaven or from man?” Then they reasoned among themselves, saying, “If we shall say, ‘From Heaven’, He will say to us, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’
26 “And if we say, ‘From man’, we fear the multitude.” For all held John as a Prophet.
27 Then they answered Jesus, and said, “We cannot tell.” And He said to them, “Nor will I tell you by what authority I do these things.
28 “But what do you think? A 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.’ But later he changed his mind and went.
30 “Then he came to the second and said likewise. And he answered, and said, ‘I will, sir.’ But he did not go.
31 “Which of the two did the will of the father?” They said to Him, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes go before you into the Kingdom of God.
32 “For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him. But the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. And you, though you saw it, were not moved with repentance afterward, so that you might believe him.
33 “Hear another parable. There was a certain landowner who planted a vineyard and fenced it in. And he made a winepress therein, and built a tower, and let it out to tenant farmers, and went away to a strange country.
34 “And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the farmers to receive the fruits thereof.
35 “And the farmers took his servants and beat one, killed another, and stoned another.
36 “Again, he sent other servants (more than the first) and they did likewise to them.
37 “But last of all he sent his own son to them, saying, ‘They will revere my son’.
38 “But when the farmers saw the son, they said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him. And let us take his inheritance.’
39 “So they took him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
40 “Therefore, when the Lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do to those farmers?”
41 They said to Him, “He will cruelly destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard to other farmers who shall deliver the fruits to him in their seasons.”
42 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures, ‘The stone which the builders refused, the same is made the Cornerstone. This was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?
43 “Therefore I say to you the Kingdom of God shall be taken from you and shall be given to a nation which shall bring forth the fruits thereof.
44 “And the one who shall fall on this stone, shall be broken. But on whomever it shall fall, it will grind to powder.
45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard His parables, they perceived that He spoke of them.
46 And they, seeking to lay hands on Him, feared the people. Because they took Him as a Prophet.
