Old/New Testament
4 1 The offering for sins done of ignorance. 3 For the Priest, the Congregation, the ruler, and private man.
1 Moreover, the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If [a]any shall sin through [b]ignorance, in any of the commandments of the Lord, (which ought not to be done) but shall do contrary to any of them,
3 If [c]the Priest that is anointed do sin (according to the sin of the people) then shall he offer, for his sin which he hath sinned, a young bullock without blemish unto the Lord for a sin offering,
4 And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation before the Lord, and shall put his hand upon the bullock’s head, and [d]kill the bullock before the Lord.
5 And the Priest that is anointed, shall take of the bullock’s blood, and bring it into the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
6 Then the Priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the Lord, before the veil of the [e]Sanctuary.
7 The Priest also shall put some of the blood before the Lord, upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense, which is in the [f]Tabernacle of the Congregation, then shall he pour (A)all the rest of the blood of the bullock at the foot of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
8 And he shall take away all the fat of the bullock for the sin offering: to wit, the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is about the inwards.
9 He shall take away also the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and upon the flanks, and the caul upon the liver with the kidneys,
10 As it was taken away from the bullock of the peace offerings, and the Priest shall burn them upon the altar of burnt offering.
11 (B)But the skin of the bullock, and all his flesh, with his head, and his legs, and his inwards, and his dung shall he bear out.
12 So he shall carry the whole bullock out of the (C)host unto a clean place, where the ashes are poured, and shall burn him on the wood in the fire: where the ashes are cast out, shall he be burnt.
13 ¶ And if the [g]whole Congregation of Israel shall sin through ignorance, and the thing be (D)hid from the eyes of the multitude, and have done against any of the commandments of the Lord which should not be done, and have offended:
14 When the sin which they have committed shall be known, then the Congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin, and bring him before the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
15 And the [h]Elders of the Congregation shall put their hands upon the head of the bullock before the Lord, and [i]he shall kill the bullock before the Lord.
16 Then the Priest that is anointed, shall bring of the bullock’s blood into the Tabernacle of the Congregation,
17 And the Priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord, even before the veil.
18 Also he shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar, which is before the Lord, that is in the Tabernacle of the Congregation: then shall he pour all the rest of the blood at the foot of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation,
19 And he shall take all his fat from him, and [j]burn it upon the altar.
20 And the Priest shall do with his bullock, as he did with the bullock for his sin: so shall he do with this: so the Priest shall make an atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven them.
21 For he shall carry the bullock without the host, and burn him as he burned the first bullock: for it is an offering for the sin of the Congregation.
22 ¶ When a ruler shall sin, and do through ignorance against any of the commandments of the Lord his God, which should not be done, and shall offend,
23 If one show unto him his sin, which he hath committed, then shall he bring for his offering an [k]he goat without blemish,
24 And shall lay his hand upon the head of the he goat, and kill it in [l]the place where he should kill the burnt offering before the Lord: for it is a sin offering.
25 Then the Priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the burnt offering altar, and shall pour the rest of his blood at the foot of the burnt offering altar,
26 And shall burn all his fat upon the altar, as the fat of the peace offering: so the Priest shall make [m]an atonement for him, concerning his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.
27 ¶ Likewise if any of the [n]people of the land shall sin through ignorance in doing against any of the commandments of the Lord, which should not be done, and shall offend,
28 If one show him his sin which he hath committed, then he shall bring for his offering, [o]a she goat without blemish for his sin which he hath committed.
29 [p]And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay the sin offering in the place of burnt offering.
30 Then the Priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the burnt offering altar, and pour all the rest of the blood thereof at the foot of the altar,
31 And shall take away all his fat, as the fat of the peace offerings is taken away, and the Priest shall burn it upon the altar for a (E)sweet savor unto the Lord, and the Priest shall make an atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him.
32 And if he bring a lamb for his sin offering, he shall bring a female without blemish.
33 And shall lay his [q]hand upon the head of the sin offering, and he shall slay it for a sin offering in the place where he should kill the burnt offering.
34 Then the Priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the burnt offering altar, and shall pour all the rest of the blood thereof at the foot of the altar.
35 And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat of the lamb of the peace offerings is taken away: then the Priest shall burn it upon the altar [r]with the oblations of the Lord made by fire, and the Priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin that he hath committed, and it shall be forgiven him.
5 1 Of him that testifieth the truth. 4 Of him that voweth rashly. 15 Of him that by ignorance withdraweth anything dedicated to the Lord.
1 Also if [s]any have sinned, that is, [t]if he have heard the voice of an oath, and he can be a witness, whether he hath seen or [u]known of it, if he do not utter it, he shall bear his iniquity:
2 Either if one touch any unclean thing, whether it be a carrion of an unclean beast, or a carrion of unclean cattle, or a carrion of unclean creeping things, and is not ware of it, yet he is unclean, and hath offended:
3 Either if he touch any uncleanness of man (whatsoever uncleanness it be, that he is defiled with) and is not ware of it, and after cometh to the knowledge of it, he hath sinned:
4 Either if any [v]swear and pronounce with his lips to do evil, or to do good (whatsoever it be that a man shall pronounce with an oath) and it be hid from him, and after knoweth that he hath offended in one of these points,
5 When he hath sinned in any of these [w]things, then he shall confess that he hath sinned therein.
6 Therefore shall he bring his trespass offering unto the Lord for his sin which he hath committed, even a female from the flock, be it a lamb or a she goat for a sin offering, and the Priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin.
7 But [x]if he be not able to bring a sheep, he shall bring for his trespass which he hath committed, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons unto the Lord, one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering.
8 So he shall bring them unto the Priest, who shall offer the sin offering first, and (F)wring the neck of it asunder, but not pluck it clean off.
9 After he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin offering upon the side of the altar, and the rest of the blood shall be [y]shed at the foot of the altar: for it is a sin offering.
10 Also he shall offer the second for a burnt offering [z]as the manner is: so shall the Priest [aa]make an atonement for him (for his sin which he hath committed) and it shall be forgiven him.
11 ¶ But if he (G)be not able to bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, then he that hath sinned, shall bring for his offering the tenth part of an [ab]Ephah of fine flour for a sin offering, he shall put none [ac]oil thereto, neither put any incense thereon: for it is a sin offering.
12 Then shall he bring it to the Priest, and the Priest shall take his handful of it for the (H)remembrance thereof, and burn it upon the altar (I)with the offerings of the Lord made by fire: for it is a sin offering.
13 So the Priest shall make an atonement for him, as touching his sin, that he hath committed in one of these points, and it shall be forgiven him: and the remnant shall be the Priest’s, as the meat offering.
14 ¶ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
15 If any person transgress and sin through ignorance [ad]by taking away things consecrated unto the Lord, he shall then bring for his trespass offering unto the Lord a ram without blemish out of the flock, worth two shekels of silver [ae]by thy estimation after the shekel of the Sanctuary, for a trespass offering.
16 So he shall restore that wherein he hath offended, in taking away of the holy thing, and shall put the fifth part more thereto, and give it unto the Priest: so the Priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering, and it shall be forgiven him.
17 ¶ Also if any sin and (J)do against any of the Commandments of the Lord, which ought not to be done, and know not, and [af]sin and bear his iniquity,
18 Then shall he bring a ram without blemish out of the flock, in thy estimation worth (K)two shekels for a trespass offering unto the Priest: and the Priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his [ag]ignorance wherein he erred, and was not ware: so it shall be forgiven him.
19 This is the trespass offering for the trespass committed against the Lord.
29 (A)[a]And immediately after the tribulations of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
30 And then shall appear the [b]sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the [c]kindreds of the earth [d]mourn, (B)and they shall see the Son of man [e]come in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 (C)And he shall send his Angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect, from the [f]four winds, and from the one end of the heavens unto the other.
32 [g]Now learn the parable of the fig tree: when her bough is yet [h]tender, and it putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near.
33 So likewise ye, when ye see all these things, know that the kingdom of God is near, even at the doors.
34 Verily I say unto you, this [i]generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.
35 (D)[j]Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
36 [k]But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no not the Angels of heaven, but my father only.
37 But as the days of Noah were, so likewise shall the coming of the Son of man be.
38 (E)For as in the days before the flood, they did [l]eat and drink, marry, and give in marriage, unto the day that Noah entered into the Ark,
39 And knew nothing, till the flood came, and took them all away, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 (F)[m]Then two shall be in the fields, the one shall be received, and the other shall be refused.
41 [n]Two women shall be grinding at the mill: the one shall be received, and the other shall be refused.
42 (G)[o]Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your master will come.
43 (H)Of this be sure, that if the good man of the house knew at what watch the thief would come, he would surely watch, and not suffer his house to be dug through.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in the hour that ye think not, will the Son of man come.
45 (I)Who then is a faithful servant and wise, whom his master hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in season?
46 Blessed is that servant, whom his master when he cometh, shall find so doing.
47 Verily I say unto you, he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
48 But if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My master doth defer his coming,
49 And begin to smite his fellows, and to eat, and to drink with the drunken,
50 That servant’s master will come in a day, when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 And will [p]cut him off, and give him his portion with hypocrites: (J)there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
